SUMMARY:NMU Theatre and Dance "Ctl+Alt+Delete"
DESCRIPTION:Northern Michigan University Theatre and Dance will stage Ctrl+Alt+Delete\, a darkly comic look at tech startups\, speculative investment\, and the value we assign to ideas in a rapidly evolving economy. The production runs Oct. 30–Nov. 2 and Nov. 6–9 in NMU’s Panowski Black Box Theatre. \n  \nSet during the tech boom of the late 1990s\, Ctrl+Alt+Delete follows wunderkind Eddie Fisker\, a young tech developer who teams up with a visionary entrepreneur to launch a revolutionary new app. As the startup gains traction\, the team becomes increasingly disconnected from the ethical and real-world consequences of their creation. What begins as a promising tech venture quickly spirals into a chaotic satire of modern business culture. \n  \n“This is more a play about funny money than technology itself\,” said director Jimmy Ludwig\, who starred in the leading role in the play’s original East Coast premiere. “It’s really all about how we create and assign value\, and how the power of belief can literally create wealth. The dot-com era saw an ability to generate wealth that outpaced anything we’d seen before. This play explores the difference between selling a product and selling potential. If you’re selling a product\, you’re a sitting duck. It can fail\, break\, get old. But if you’re selling the idea of something\, the whole blue sky is the limit.” \n  \nLudwig calls the show especially timely in today’s world of cryptocurrency. The play’s themes reflect cycles seen throughout economic history. \n  \n“We’ve turned this cast into economists\,” Ludwig said. “We looked at every bubble in history\, from the Dutch tulip craze to the 1929 crash. Our entire economy is built on speculation. Every time it happens\, someone at the top says\, ‘This is fine.’ Until someone else finally says\, ‘This is actually built on nothing.’” \n  \nLudwig said a subplot\, which he doesn’t want to disclose as a spoiler\, provides great comic relief. \n  \n“It is a very fast-paced play that really crackles\,” he added. “We’re doing a lot of fun stuff with technology for this production. There will actually be what we’re calling the Jumbotron: four screens that face each bank of seats in the round\, with five cameras positioned all around the space. That way the audience gets to be in this proscenium and see moments where the actors are facing away from them.” \n  \nShowtimes are 7:30 nightly with an additional 1 p.m. matinee on Nov. 8 and a sensory-friendly\, “pay what you can” Theatre for All matinee at 1 p.m. on Nov. 1. Tickets are $25 for the general public; $22 for NMU faculty/staff\, seniors 60+ and military; $15 for youth under 18; and $5 for NMU students. They can be purchased at nmu.universitytickets.com. \n  \nFor more details on the production\, visit nmu.edu/theatreanddance/ctrlaltdelete.

SUMMARY:City of Houghton Branding Working Sessions
DESCRIPTION:City of Houghton Invites Community to Branding Working Sessions \n  \nThe City of Houghton invites residents and stakeholders to participate in one of two public working sessions dedicated to shaping the future of Houghton’s community brand. These sessions will be held: \n  \n Wednesday\, November 5\, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. \n  \n Tuesday\, November 11\, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. \n  \nBoth drop-in sessions will take place at the City Center in downtown Houghton and will run approximately two hours. \n  \nEach session will begin with an overview of the city’s branding initiative\, explaining why this effort is both important and timely. Residents are encouraged to join a session at any time during the two-hour period. During each session\, attendees will be asked to provide feedback on the central themes developed from public input: Home\, Views\, and Progress. Each session  marks an important step in public engagement; input gathered from each session will be used to shape the city’s brand going forward. \n  \nThis initiative builds upon the city’s first branding survey\, conducted between November and December 2024\, which generated 637 responses from 254 zip codes. That input\, representing residents\, neighbors\, and visitors\, highlighted the importance of community identity and helped establish the three guiding themes: \n  \n Home — A place where you always feel you belong. \n  \n Views — A year-round landscape that inspires. \n  \n Progress — A city rooted in history\, building for tomorrow. \n  \nWhy Branding? \n  \nIn 2021\, Houghton earned Redevelopment Ready Communities® (RRC) certification from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC). This\ncertification provides the city with access to resources to advance community development goals. RRC’s mission is to empower communities to shape their future by integrating best practices in planning\, zoning\, and economic development. \n  \nBranding is identified as a critical tool for strengthening economic health\, building community pride\, and increasing investor confidence. The MEDC strongly encourages communities to develop marketing and branding strategies promoting their unique identity and sense of place. \n  \nAccomplishments \n  \n In July 2024\, Houghton’s Planning Commission formed a committee to explore branding and survey community perspectives. \n  \n By March 2025\, four additional Houghton residents joined the committee\, broadening viewpoints and sharpening the city’s understanding of its identity. \n  \n Three themes Home\, Views\, and Progress emerged as pillars of Houghton’s brand. \n  \nWhere We’re Heading \n  \nThe goal of this process is to define our story—how we view where we live\, and who we are as a community. \n  \nEconomic development requires more than business attraction; it must also embrace community development and talent retention. This effort seeks to unify residents\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and local government around a shared identity that strengthens both civic pride and long-term economic vitality. \n  \nResident participation is valued. By attending an October work session\, participants  will help validate and shape the branding themes that will guide Houghton’s story for years to come. \n  \nContact:\nCity of Houghton\n906-482-1700 / info@cityofhoughton.com / cityofhoughton.com

SUMMARY:Public Forum "What is Ranked-Choice Voting & the Michigan Rank MI Vote Ballot Proposal?"
DESCRIPTION:Keweenaw Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will present a public forum online titled “What Is Ranked-Choice Voting & the Michigan Rank MI Vote Ballot Proposal?” from 10:30-11:30 AM on Sunday\, November 9. \nThe speaker will be Lisa Nelson\, a Copper Country League of Women Voters member and a member of the UP Rank MI Vote team. She will explain ranked-choice voting\, a system which gives voters more choices and power by allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference. She will also talk about the proposed statewide ballot measure to adopt ranked-choice voting for all state and federal elections. There will be time for Q&A after the presentation. \nAs of February 2024\, ranked-choice voting has been approved in East Lansing\, Royal Oak\, Kalamazoo\, Ann Arbor and Ferndale. However\, a potential 2026 ballot proposal to amend the state constitution must be passed before ranked choice voting can be implemented in Michigan. \nNelson served in the Air Force for 8 years as a communication officer\, taught math at a variety of levels\, worked 8 years at Michigan Tech in office administration before joining the Mi-STAR team to develop a hands-on middle school science curriculum which blends science with math\, technology and engineering. Since retiring\, she has focused her energy on making our election process as democratic\, as possible.  the forum is open to the public. It will only be on Zoom: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 839 7576 2265\nPasscode: KUUF \nForums are recorded. Recordings of past forums can be found at keweenawuu.org
