Yesterday a 3.3 magnitude earthquake gently rocked Union City, Michigan just 13 miles southeast of Battlecreek. No damage was reported. The second earthquake in Michigan within two months, had residents feeling the shifting as far south as northern Indiana and as far north as Holland.

Due to Michigans relatively low seismic activity, experts are puzzled that Tuesdays earthquake was not on the same fault line as the May 4th quake. The speculation is that the two earthquakes ARE related as stored energy in the earths crust; as one moves it puts pressure on the other.

Not much is known about how seismic activity is being started in Michigan, but if the quake trend continues we can expect to have more resources studying our tectonic movement.

A 21 year-old man is missing after the Electric Forest festival in Rothbury this past weekend. Evan Jensen was last seen around 5:00 A.M. Monday morning but has since disappeared. He and his friends had planned to leave the festival around 6:30 A.M. that morning to drive home to South Dakota. When he didn’t show up, they started to call; when he didn’t answer, they started to worry.

There has been one reported death at the festival each of the last three years.

Jensen’s friends are in possession of his backpacks, clothing, and belongings. They report that Jensen has nothing but the clothes on his back and whatever was in his pockets when he went missing. Police currently consider him a "voluntarily missing adult," so no formal search is underway. 

Evan is 5' 9, weights 125 pounds, has thin blonde hair and green eyes. If you have any information regarding Evan or his location, please contact the State Police at (231) 873-2171. 

UPDATE: Hart Police Troopers have recieved credible intel that Jensen was seen at local businesses Tuesday during the day completely unrestrained. This information furthers the belief that he is missing by his own will.

Ludington Area Schools have undergone a few changes in leadership positions. Lakeview Elementary principal Randy Fountain has been hired to be the new Ludington athletic director, replacing Brian Dotson who will become the new principal at Foster Elementary. Both men are familiar with the community and a majority of the staffs they will be working alongside. Lakeview will begin looking for a new principal soon to replace Fountain in time for the upcoming school year. 

Congratulations to Ludington’s Cameron Doan who has been recognized and awarded by Governor Rick Snyder as the 2015 “Youth Volunteer of the Year.”

17 year-old Doan is the brain behind a set of projects he calls “A Bedroom of Their Own” where he leads a group of volunteers in putting together bedrooms to give underprivileged children their own place to feel at home.

Doan also stays involved in hurricane and disaster relief, helps feed local homeless, serves on mission trips, and is a positive mentor to local youth.
