On Monday, Samuel E. McAlpine, was found dead in his home. He had been missing for over a year. He lived in Alaska and was 37 years old. He was last seen on March 17th, 2013, when he told his mother that he was going on a date. His sister reported him missing 12 days later, however the rest of the family was not concerned because they say he "frequently disappears for weeks at a time". He was going through a divorce at the time and had just moved out of the house. His ex-wife was renting the house out and those people just moved out. While she was in the house fixing it up for the next renters, she smelt a gross smell and found his body in a closet in the basement. They think drugs and alcohol were a big part of his death but are still investigating it.

Due to the lack of restaurants that are open year round in Northern Door County, Wild Tomato in Sister Bay has decided to sell their building to the infamous McDonald's. Sister Bay has allowed this because McDonald's has also agreed to help financially support repair for the damage done to the back roads. Doing construction to the Sister Bay hill has really taken a toll on Sister Bay. It will open on Memorial Day, introducing Door County cherries to the menu. Even though people are upset about McDonald's coming, it will provide a good way for cheap kids to eat all year round.

dont feed the bears

Mary Musselman is a retired gym teacher and has been feeding wild bears for over a year. It is a problem because if you start feeding bears, they will become less afraid of you making them very dangerous to you and destruction of property. When she said that she would refuse to stop, they took her to court. She was on probation and was warned not to do it again but 2 weeks ago they found more bowls of dog food in her backyard. They arrested her and her friends are worried that she doesn't truly understand what is going on so she will not agree with the courts and get in more trouble.
