Port Huron City Manager Forms Roundtable Group For Downtown Corridor Redesign

City Manager James Freed has unveiled the establishment of the Huron Avenue/Military Street Roundtable Working Group, aimed at collaborating with city authorities and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) regarding potential alterations to the downtown corridor’s design. 

This initiative responds to MDOT’s upcoming reconstruction project slated for 2025, targeting Huron Avenue from the Military Street Bridge to Glenwood Avenue. Comprising residents, business figures, and community advocates, the group will facilitate community involvement in decision-making processes. “We value the importance of community engagement and feedback,” emphasized City Manager Freed, underlining the significance of public input in shaping downtown’s future. 

Mayor Pauline Repp expressed support for the endeavor, underscoring the necessity of hearing from community stakeholders. The working group plans to commence meetings in April, with a  formal report and recommendations expected by fall 2024.

Study Reveals Dirty Electricity As Widespread Health Hazard, Igniting Urgency For Investigation

A groundbreaking study conducted by the National Library of Medicine’s National Center for Biotechnology Information has unveiled the pervasive threat of dirty electricity as a hazardous pollutant. 

Contrary to prior neglect, this phenomenon—consisting of electromagnetic fields and radio frequency radiation emanating from electrical wires—has emerged as a concerning health risk. Recent advancements in metering and filtration technology now equip scientists with tools to quantify and mitigate this threat. 

Case studies and anecdotal evidence presented in the study highlight remarkable health improvements upon installing Graham/Stetzer (GS) filters, particularly in schools grappling with sick building syndrome. Reports indicate reduced asthma incidents, enhanced focus among students with ADD/ADHD, and improved blood sugar levels for diabetics. Furthermore, individuals afflicted with multiple sclerosis exhibited enhanced mobility and stability after filter installation.

With escalating rates of electromagnetic pollution and associated disorders, urgent investigation into this topic is imperative for public health.
