Grand Haven Coast Guard Festival visitor, 97, rescued after fall into river
Activities at the Grand Haven Coast Guard Festival in West Michigan unexpectedly included an actual rescue Tuesday after a tour visitor fell into the Grand River. The 97-year-old man who was rescued had fallen about 6 feet from a deck into the river after losing his balance while using his walker, the Coast Guard Great Lakes District reported on social media. He was taking part in ship tours at Escanaba Park at the time of the fall, which happened about 7 p.m. Seaman Joseph Turk, who is a crew member with the Coast Guard Cutter Katmai Bay, immediately jumped into the water to assist the visitor. Turk helped keep the man afloat by treading water for over 20 minutes while crews worked from the deck to reach them with appropriate equipment and rescue the victim. The man had injuries to his right hand and leg as a result of his fall, and was taken by EMS to Trinity Health Grand Haven Hospital for treatment. Turk has been in the Coast Guard for less than a year, the report said. The Grand Haven Coast Guard Festival started July 25 and continues through August 3, honoring the U.S. Coast Guard with a slate of activities that includes ship tours, parades, live music, fireworks, a car show and family activities. More than 350,000 people attend the event each year, the festival organizers said.

Rising Tigers Prospect Max Clark Turns Heads With Incredible Power Display at West Michigan Game
Rising Tigers Prospect Max Clark Turns Heads With Incredible Power Display at West Michigan Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Detroit Tigers' farm system has shown plenty of signs of encouragement this season in lockstep with The Big League club as top prospects Kevin McGonigle, Max Clark and Josue Briceño were recently named the 2025 MLB Futures Game. Advertisement The Tigers trio is paced by McGonigle, who ranks number seven among all prospects in MLB, Clark, who ranks 12th, and Briceño, who ranks 58th. On Tuesday, Clark turned heads with a Herculean home run that landed in a surprising place as the West Michigan White Caps battled the Great Lakes Loons on the baseball diamond. Max Clark during 2024 Tigers Spring Training in Lakeland, Florida. © Junfu Han / Detroit Free Press / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images "Max Clark smokes one onto the lawn," the White Caps' social media account wrote. The highlight clip shows a towering fly ball drilled to right field landing on the green grass as Clark rounded the bases. The home run was his only hit of the day but it showcased the frightening power possessed by the current .275 White Caps hitter, who plays center field.

Clark will have a chance to show the MLB world what he can do on July 12 at 4 p.m. ET during the Futures Game, a growing tradition that has become a favorite among ardent fans of professional baseball.
