The Comfortable and the Chaos: the Contrast of Walz's and Trump's Traverse City Rallies, by White Pine Press reporter Minnie Bardenhagen. Photo by Jacob Dodson. With only hours left to go before the polls close on election day, Michigan may well determine the outcome of the presidential election. With its 15 electoral votes, the swing state has been a frequent stop for each campaign. While much of the campaigning has been focused in Michigan’s downstate urban areas, neither the Trump nor Harris campaign wants to ignore Northern Michigan. Both campaigns have stopped several times in Traverse City to energize voters, each using a different approach.

On Oct. 28, First Lady Jill Biden and Gwen Walz, the wife of Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz, paid a visit to the Traverse City Democratic Campaign Field Office to promote volunteer efforts for the Harris-Walz Campaign. It was a small gathering of mostly local canvassing volunteers and press where Biden and Walz were hoping to ignite the volunteer effort in the final days of election season. The Harris Campaign, in this small final stretch, is targeting undecided voters and eligible voters who may not show up to the polls.

As the Nov. 5 election nears, former President Donald Trump and his campaign have increased their attacks on the transgender and genderqueer community, reportedly spending millions of dollars in an effort to win over voters. The advertisements have been most commonly aired at NFL and college football games. Trump also attacked the trans community during his Oct. 25 rally in Traverse City.

Speaking Truth to Power. International Affairs Forum-Traverse City guest Khaled Elgindy reflects on attacks on Gaza, ceasefire negotiations, and the impact of students in this exclusive interview earlier this month with the White Pine Press, the award-winning student-run newspaper at Northwestern Michigan College. It has been over a year since the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas, followed by Israel's unrelenting war in Gaza, and deaths of more than 40,000 Palestinians. The answer to whether or not the boiling conflict in the Middle East can ever reduce to a simmer still seems far from reach.

New Northwestern Michigan College project aims to uncover hidden microplastics in local waters, writes Anna Wildman in our latest edition of the White Pine Press, NMC's award-winning, student-run newspaper. The Boardman River watershed is a large, high-traffic area that is popular for recreation. But data on the presence of microplastics in the Boardman was virtually non-existent before NMC biology instructor Dr. Nick Roster began a research project. With the help of students from his class, Roster is currently collecting and processing water samples from various sites in the Boardman watershed to examine them for microplastic contamination.

Most young adults come face to face with a whole new world of freedom after graduating high school. Freedom to go to college, enter the workforce, to move out and begin making some of the most influential decisions of their lives. This freedom can be liberating, yet intimidating. Many people feel lost and overwhelmed trying to decide where they want to take their lives next, which is completely normal in such pivotal transitional periods. This feeling resonates heavily with many college students, including NMC’s student body.

It’s the ultimate sunblock. On Monday, Apr 8, the continental U.S. experienced a rare event: a total solar eclipse. Millions flocked to the path of totality, stretching from Texas to Maine, to witness the spectacle of the moon blocking out the sun. Although Northern Michigan was outside of the path of totality, excitement about the event was palpable. Hundreds of posts and comments on the “Overheard in Traverse City” page sought information on where to find eclipse safety glasses, with several jokesters offering to “reschedule” the cosmic event for those who couldn’t acquire the protective eyewear in time.
