After the tent city in a Panama City church parking lot was disbanded two months after Hurricane Michael, many thought that was the end of the tent population. But one Bay County woman took in many of those residents and is providing evidence that a desperate housing problem still exists in our area.

It eventually grew into a highly guarded detention camp where, on Christmas, some 2,300 largely Central American boys and girls between the ages of 13 and 17 slept in more than 150 canvas tents.

Comprised of many incredibly brave men and women who have chosen to give up their lives for the rest of us, those of the U.S. Military deserve to have some comfort and security of their own as they travel aroun

LEVERING, Mich. — By midafternoon the snow had picked up — tiny, innocuous flecks becoming heavy, wet drops — but no one at Camp Anishinaabek seemed to notice. There were logs to split and shelters to insulate. A supply tent was still down after collapsing two weeks earlier during a storm. “We’ve got a long winter ahead of us,” a woman said as she spread a sawdust path, “so we’re just trying to prepare as best we can.” The modest camp in the woods of northern Michigan is the symbolic base for protesters battling an aging oil pipeline that crosses one of the most environmentally critical loca
