Isle Royale moose study at issue MARQUETTE — This is the 61st year of the famed Isle Royale Wolf-Moose Winter Study, the longest predator-prey study in the world. This year, it is threatened by (a potential) government shutdown. Three women who know the island and the mission of the Winter Study intimately intend to celebrate and consider the importance of the study, whether it goes forward or not. A musician, a poet, and the wife of the preeminent scientist of the study are part of a very special event Sunday at The Joy Center in Ishpeming. Two of Isle Royale’s past Artists in Residence, songwriter and composer Terri Bocklund and poet/painter/environmental activist Kathleen Heideman Rydholm will share their passion and works inspired by their experiences on Isle Royale. Special Guest Candy Peterson will join Bocklund and Heideman Rydholm with insights gained from being side by side with Dr. Rolf Peterson (the study’s preeminent scientist) for decades. Candy Peterson is the author of the memoir “A View from the Wolf’s Eye,” which chronicles her adventures with Rolf over the many years they have been involved with Isle Royale, not only as scientists, but as passionate and caring stewards of the unique northwooods wilderness, its temperamental biosphere, and its enigmatic inhabitants. Film clips from the full-length documentary film “A Fortunate Wilderness” will also be shared during the event. This film is the work of George Desort, also a past Isle Royale Artist in Residence, and a volunteer who annually goes to the island during the Winter Study to assist the team of scientists in their mission. The event at The Joy Center is free to all, and a “love offering” will be taken. The event begins at 7 p.m. Amputee social group to meet MARQUETTE — The next meeting of Amputee Social Group is set for 6 p.m. Feb. 19 at 1010 W. Washington St. in Marquette (Northern Orthotics and Prosthetics building).
