So my little town who lost its main employer (Smurfit Stone container) is in a competition for a new playground which would mean a lot to the kids as many families are in tough financial times.

So if you could spare a few moments and vote using the link below that would be greatly appreciated. You can vote once every 24 hours. So please vote for [b:dd1de64343]Play Ontonagon[/b:dd1de64343] daily. Thanks

If the link disappears google kaboom playday.
 
Good luck to all in Ontonagon- I know that the mill there has shut down. You guys seem to be a resilient lot, with all of the economic problems left by the close of the White Pine mine and now this.

Good luck from a fellow yooper!

PS- I'm heading that way this weekend for some hunting- How is it looking?
 
Thanks to all that have voted.

Good Luck with the hunting. Haven't been seeing much or hearing of much being seen. Heard maybe a small handful of shots opening morning and not many since. Weather is just too nice for deer season.
 

I agree- Middle of November and no snow in Calumet?

I am not complaining, it will be here soon enough. I will vote again in 24 hours.

I have a question, is the mill permanently shut down now? I hope it doesn't end up a mess like in Niagara. A lot of people do not realize how important the paper industry is in towns like Ontonogan, Escanaba, Iron Mountain, Munising, and Manistique. I think this talk of the tourism industry is hurting our communities. Nobody knows this better than the old timers in the upper peninsula's copper country. This area's story is not well known to others but could serve as a prime example of what happens when the jobs move out.

I know that the Ontonogan community will bounce back. Mine boom and bust, Great fires, It has survived before and it will bounce back again. That speaks of the character of the residents there.

good luck

Click to expand...

The mills is still on "temporary" shutdown related to market conditions as far as I know. There was talk of winterizing the boiler in the plant, which in my mind would mean permanent shutdown....

Thanks again for the votes. It means a lot for a small town in hard times to get such an opportunity like this.
