We'll be taking a week away from publishing over the Fourth of July (we'll be back July 11) and we here at U.P. Second Wave urge you to be safe, responsible and to have a great time celebrating our nation's independence. While you're at it, pick up some Vollwerth's to grill and some cool, refreshing KBC to drink and celebrate with some Upper Peninsula flair.
Upper Peninsula Second Wave was honored with three Good News Awards and a Certificate of Merit last week at an annual luncheon sponsored by religious leaders of the Evangelical Lutheran, Presbyterian, United Methodist, Catholic and Episcopal churches.

Here at U.P. Second Wave, we urge our readers to take the time and observe Memorial Day with safety and in solemn remembrance of those who have fallen for this country as members of the military. In addition, we will be observing our annual dark week and will be back with a new publication come June 6.
May 10, 2010--a day that will live in infamy around the UP Second Wave offices. That was the day the first publication went live and out into the world. It's been two years of great times, wonderful experiences and a slew of interesting stories since then and we're not planning on slowing down anytime soon.
Managing editor Sam Eggleston isn't usually the guy going around touting the idea that you should break the rules, but this week's column is all about why one rule in particular should at least be adjusted. Find out why, and how you can help a 19-year-old Upper Peninsula boy keep his hoop dreams alive.

Young professionals groups in Iron Mountain and in Marquette (and coming soon to Sault Ste. Marie) are a great way to network, socialize and rub elbows with the young thought and business leaders in your community.

The U.P., and, for that matter, most of northern Michigan, got hit by quite the record-breaking snowstorm this week. Editor Sam Eggleston ponders the mercurial nature of winter in the U.P.
There is no doubt that the interest in electric cars is growing (you've noticed the $3.80 gas price, right?) and Marquette has made a point of helping those with such vehicles keep the juice flowing when they come to the city. Managing editor Sam Eggleston talks about the new charging station in the city's downtown and why it needs to be a growing trend.
St. Ignace is the first place you come to when crossing the Mackinac Bridge. Thankfully the town and its residents and entrepreneurs have no problem with being the gateway to all that is great about the U.P., says Sam Eggleston in his weekly column.
