PEOPLE IN THE KNOW: DEANNA RAY BROWN: THE CHEESECAKE CONNOISSEUR
 Ask Lansingnites where to find the best cheesecake and they will tell you that the Everything is Cheescake truck can be found at Friday through Sunday between 1 and 5 pm at 4400 S Martin Luther King Jr., Blvd in Lansing, MI. When Everything is Cheescake posts a menu, social media erupts with orders and they are usually sold out before the end of the day. If you have experienced their rich, fluffy and creamy desserts you know how decadent they are. So we wanted to know where the magic was created and who held the miraculous “most delicious cheesecake” wand.

No More Butts!
 By Kelsey Schell
Summer is finally here! All across Michigan people are planning outdoor activities and taking advantage of relaxing in Michigan’s Great Lakes. Unfortunately, pollution can influence how much time we can spend outdoors and enjoy our waterways. Even though Lansing does not border one of Michigan’s Great Lakes, Lansing’s pollution can influence the quality of the water. Littering is a huge problem that can kill wildlife and marine life. One of the biggest forms of waste littered everywhere is cigarette butts.

REFLECTIVE WISDOM: Integrity
 By M. Lynn Griffin

How about when you borrow money from a friend or relative and you promise to pay them back on payday or when you get your taxes, do you actually repay it? If you don’t call like you said you would, don’t show up at all, or suddenly can’t be found on payday or at tax time, you are lacking integrity.
