(Marquette, MI) – The Upper Peninsula is familiar with every form of addiction – whether it be drugs, booze, gambling and any kind of sexual addiction.

The addictions are too many to list – but the innocent victims are not – the children.

The same could be argued for children whose parents suffer destructive well-known personality disorders like narcissism. Its likely even workaholics leave U.P. victims.

Despite some arrogant folks who feel superior, everyone here in northern Michigan knows – even related – U.P. families have been torn asunder by addictions.

Meth is so insidious because its extremely and overwhelming addictive.
These are your neighbors, friends, and relatives.

So, U.P. Breaking News encourages everyone to consider helping these girls see their parents – time really is of the essence.

Desiree Giraud set up a GoFundMe page for the daughters of the fire victims – who literally are barely clinging to life. Time is of the essence.

(Marquette, MI) – Officials with the YMCA of Marquette County will be sitting on the edge of their seats – and be on the phone – this coming Monday as a federal bankrutpcy judge decides whether it can renegotiate its lease with the city of Marquette – only hours before the city council takes up the matter.

The YMCA in Marquette County made the national news in May 2017 when it filed for Chapter 11 federal bankruptcy protection as it deals and renegotiates some $4.8 million in debt. Nearly $3 million is owed on a mortgage held by the United States Department of Agriculture—Rural Development authority.

In a letter at the time, the current YMCA leaders said previous board members incurred “extreme debt” during an “aggressive expansion” in the Marquette area.
The YMCA in Marquette County opened in 1985.

In a November 10, 2017, the YMCA asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Marquette to enter “an order authorizing Debtor (YMCA) to assume the lease for the Marquette (YMCA) Facility and allow the YMCA to move forward by executing “both the lease assumption and agreement and the restated lease” in a new deal with the city of Marquette.

“The Marquette city commission meets on November 27, 2017 where it will likely approve signing” an updated lease,” an attorney for the YMCA wrote.
The lease will affect early $3 million debt to the United States Department of Agriculture—Rural Development authority. The details are not clear if – and how – that federal debt can be renegotiated.

While the YMCA did not get an emergency hearing – there will be a telephone hearing just hours before the Marquette City Council is set to meet.

The judge set the telephone conference for Nov. 27, 2017 rather than hold a fast emergency hearing – following YMCA “debtor’s motion for an expedited hearing to assume lease of executory contracts with the city of Marquette.”

The case in in the hands of U.S. District Court Bankruptcy Judge John T. Gregg.

“The motion to shorten seeks to reduce the notice period in connection with the debtor’s stipulated
motion for order authorizing debtor to assume lease” and to “enter into restated lease agreement with the city of Marquette,” Judge Gregg wrote last week in a Monday, Nov. 13 ruling.

“The court has reviewed the motion to shorten and finds that a hearing is unnecessary. The motion to shorten demonstrates cause for reduction of the notice period … but not to the extent requested by the YMCA for an “emergency hearing in less than seven days”

The day after that ruling (last Tuesday, Nov,. 14, 3027) the court clerk notified the YMCA attorneys they had filed paperwork considered a defective entry or filing.”

Clerk of Court Daniel M. LaVille wrote:

Notice is hereby given that document #: 195 is defective for the following reasons:

• Incomplete PDF document attached to the entry.
• Entered in the wrong case.
• PDF document is not legible.
• Incorrect Form Submitted (Official forms are located on the Court’s website at: http://www.miwb.uscourts.gov)
• The amended schedules do not conform to LBR 1009 − Nothing has been highlighted in some fashion indicating what’s being amended.

“Please review this rule before filing amendments,” the clerk wrote in the official notice.

The YMCA were told to amend the YMCA documents – and they were quickly refilled.

Then more information on the YMCA debts was revealed in a “notice of amendments to affected parties” by YMCA Grand Rapids, MI bankruptcy attorney P. Michael Azzi.
