MARQUETTE MI
We have been paying $.30 a gallon more gas tax here in Michigan, since January 1st for road repairs. This is how our money is being spent.
The Ojibwa Express Convenience Center in Marquette Township has closed just three years after opening.
“I got a lot of compliments over the years regarding the cleanliness of the store, the friendliness of the staff,” Chosa said.
MARQUETTE — The Ojibwa Express Convenience Center in Marquette Township has closed just three years after opening.
The gas station and convenience store, located at 3475 U.S. 41, shut its doors Tuesday.
A Facebook notice posted at 2:50 p.m. Monday noted a closing sale at the store, with beer and cigarettes on sale and half-off prices on other items.
The post also read: “We are all very sad to see the store go and even more so to say goodbye to all our awesome customers, it was a pleasure to serve you all!”
The convenience center opened in 2015.
Andrew Chosa, treasurer of the economic development board of Aanikoosing Inc. which ran the station for the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, confirmed the closing.
“The changes in the local retail/fuel industry have made the economics of it difficult to sustain as a single entity,” Chosa said.
He noted the “entrance of large competitors in the market” put the store’s sustainability out of reach.
“We just don’t have the scale,” Chosa said.
What will happen with the building hasn’t yet been settled, although it has been placed on the market, he said. A buyer would lease from KBIC since it owns the property.
“I got a lot of compliments over the years regarding the cleanliness of the store, the friendliness of the staff,” Chosa said.

The Meaning of the Flag-Draped Coffin.
What a wonderful lesson this was for me. I do not recall ever being taught this in school. "The Meaning of the Flag-Draped Coffin"
All Americans should be given this lesson. Those who think that America is an arrogant nation should really reconsider that thought. Our founding fathers used GOD's word and teachings to establish our Great Nation and I think it's high time Americans get re-educated about this Nation's history.
Please pass it along and be proud of the country we live in, and even more proud of those who serve to protect our 'GOD-GIVEN' rights and freedoms. I hope you take the time to read this ... To understand what the flag draped coffin really means ...
Here is how to understand the flag that laid upon it and is surrendered to so many widows and widowers: Do you know that at military funerals, the 21-gun salute stands for the sum of the numbers in the year 1776?
Have you ever noticed that the honor guard pays meticulous attention to correctly folding the United States of America Flag 13 times? You probably thought it was to symbolize the original 13 colonies, but we learn something new every day! The 1st fold of the flag is a symbol of life. The 2nd fold is a symbol of the belief in eternal life.
The 3rd fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing the ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of the country to attain peace throughout the world.
The 4th fold represents the weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war for His divine guidance.
The 5th fold is a tribute to the country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, 'Our Country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.'
The 6th fold is for where people's hearts lie. It is with their heart that they pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America , and the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
The 7th fold is a tribute to its Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that they protect their country and their flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of their republic..
The 8th fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day.
The 9th fold is a tribute to womanhood, and Mothers. For it has been through their faith, their love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great has been molded.
The 10th fold is a tribute to the father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of their country since they were first born.
The 11th fold represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon and glorifies in the Hebrews eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The 12th fold represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in the Christians eyes, God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit.
The 13th fold, or when the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding them of their Nations motto, 'In God We Trust.'
After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington, and the Sailors and Marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones, who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for them the rights, privileges and freedoms they enjoy today.
There are some traditions and ways of doing things that have deep meaning. In the future, you'll see flags folded and now you will know why.
Please share this with the children you love and all others who love what is referred to as the symbol of ' Liberty and Freedom.'
MAYBE THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD READ THIS EXPLANATION BEFORE THEY RENDER THEIR DECISION ON THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. FORWARD IT; MAYBE SOMEONE WITH THE NECESSARY POWER, OR POLITICAL AND FINANCIAL INFLUENCE, WILL GET IT TO THEM.
IN THE MEANTIME, MAY GOD PROTECT US ALWAYS. ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
