The big storm

An ice storm wreaked havoc on northern Michigan this week.

It left thousands without power and heat and littering the region with the debris of snapped trees and downed power lines. Recovery continues. We'll hear voices from the storm.

Also, a look at how tensions between the U.S. and Canada could impact the Great Lakes. More than a century of co-management could be at stake amid trade battles and other disagreements introduced by the Trump adminisration.

Plus, a look at 50 years of service from Traverse City's Women's Resource Center.

And we go into the garden with our friend Dylan, in a new recurring segment we're calling "Grow & Tell."
