Great Lakes Memorial service held for those lost on Michigan waterways
Mariners’ Church of Detroit held its annual Great Lakes Memorial service at 11 a.m. Sunday. The service comes one year after Mariners’ Church hosted the 50th anniversary commemoration of the sinking of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald, one of the worst, and certainly the best-known, maritime tragedies in Great Lakes history. On Nov. 10, 1975, the freighter, then the largest ship on the Great Lakes, sank during a powerful storm on Lake Superior, killing all 29 crew members. The disaster later became the subject of Gordon Lightfoot’s 1976 ballad, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” The service brought together an international audience of people wanting to pray for, and remember, the lives lost. “The Great Lakes are beautiful and a constant source of inspiration and joy for those of us fortunate enough to live by their shores,” said Rev. Todd Meyer, Mariners’ pastor. “But they can become dangerous and unpredictable in a flash. That’s why we take the time each year to reflect on those lives and to pray for safe passage and recreational enjoyment for all who spend time in and on the water.”

Michigan/ Michigan State fans compete in urine battle for research
Yurts with portable bathrooms are going to be set up on the campuses of both the University of Michigan and Michigan State University for fans to use. Fans are invited to "contribute to the cause," as the University of Michigan puts it. The reason? To collect urine for research on fertilizer. Researchers are trying to build a process for producing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer from urine. The study stretches back to 2017 when Prof. Nancy Love estimated that it would take as little as 4% of the urine flushed by staff from the University of Michigan staff and students to replace fertilizer purchased from outside sources. The process is sometimes called "peecycling." While urine is restricted to water food crops, it is widely used for horticultural plants like lawns and flowerbeds. "It will provide you with truly beautiful peonies in the front of your house," said MSU Associate Professor of Sociology Stephen Gasteyer. The fertilizer created from pee will be used for research at both the Kellogg Biological Station in Ross Township and the Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum in Ann Arbor.
