HARVEY — When Dawn Holmes decided to relocate her hair salon, she didn’t look much farther than Chocolay Township. “The environment here in Harvey is wonderful,” said Holmes, owner of Headlines Hair Studio next to Mr. Movies and Snyder Drug. “I’ve been a hairdresser for 16 years and have owned a salon for 10 years, and this is the fastest growing location so far.” Headlines offers full-service hairstyling, including custom colorwork, men’s and children’s hairstyling and permanent waving. The new location is in a newly built, very modern space where customers can sit back, relax and enjoy the beautiful view of Silver Creek out the back windows. “The view is especially beautiful in the winter with all the snow on the trees by the creek,” Holmes said. Headlines also has a special ‘riding-horse’ chair for children’s haircuts, a tanning service, and a nail technician.

ISHPEMING — John D. Voelker, former Michigan Supreme Court justice, city attorney, and county prosecuting attorney has informed the City of Ishpeming that his law library, which is now at his old residence on Lake St., would be turned over to the city if it desired. City Manager Thomas McNabb, commenting on the offer said, “The City of Ishpeming at present does not have such a set and would accept this very generous gift which should be an asset to the city.” The law library consists of a complete set of Michigan Supreme Court reports along with citations, besides various other sets and single volumes basic to a sound working Michigan law library. Voelker suggested the law library might best be kept in municipal court, where it could readily be used by the judge, city attorney, members of the bar, and other interested persons. He also said the library should “enhance the dignity and appearance of the court.”
