Tough times trying to make it in Northern Michigan
By Bethel Galarno
Im a hard-working Northern Michigan woman. My husband Steven and I
have dreamed of owning a restaurant for many years. Recently, he has
worked for three factories in the Kalkaska area that each closed their
doors due to the slowing economy. I have two children. My son
graduated from Northwestern Michigan College this spring, is working
full time and is a member of the National Guard. My daughter is a
postal worker and a mother of three perfect children. We all love our
state!
