Cheboygan, Michigan

Cheboygan is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is the county seat and largest settlement of Cheboygan County. At the 2020 census, Cheboygan had a population 4,770.

Cheboygan is situated on Lake Huron at the mouth of the Cheboygan River. It is the fourth-largest American city on Lake Huron after Bay City, Port Huron, and Alpena. Cheboygan is part of Northern Michigan, and is the northernmost city in Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Directly north of Cheboygan is Bois Blanc Island (part of Mackinac County), which can be accessed via ferry from Cheboygan.

History
Cheboygan was originally an Ojibwe settlement. In 1844, Jacob Sammons, a cooper from Fort Mackinac, chose the old native camping ground, known as Shabwegan, as the site for his cabin. He recruited other settlers, and a post office named "Duncan" was established in 1846. It was made the county seat in 1853.

Duncan or Duncan City was given a post office in 1850 as a result of the building of sawmills in this area. Duncan was made the county seat in 1853 and the location of the federal land office in 1855. The county seat shifted to Cheboygan in about 1870. Later Duncan was included within the expanded boundaries of Cheboygan.

The area became known as Cheboygan in 1870. It was incorporated as a village in 1871. Rail maps in 1876 show planned rail service for Cheboygan, but due to various setbacks, rail did not arrive there until 1881. There was a theater built in town in 1877.

Cheboygan was incorporated as a city in 1889.

In approximately 1890, Cheboygan became the home port for ferryboats to nearby Bois Blanc, an island in the Straits of Mackinac. The Kristen D is a ferry which operates between Cheboygan and Bois Blanc Island. Early in the 20th century, it was home to the pioneering brass era cyclecar maker, Flagler (de:Flagler Cyclecar).

In 1944, Cheboygan became the home port of the former U.S. Coast Guard cutter and icebreaker USCGC Mackinaw, serving from 1944 to 2006. Beginning in 2006, the port continued this role as the home dock of the new USCGC Mackinaw, a successor cutter.

Etymology
The name of the city shares the name of the county and probably has its origin from the Cheboygan River, although the precise meaning is no longer known. It may have come from an Ojibwe word zhaabonigan meaning "sewing needle". Alternatively, the origin may have been "Chabwegan," meaning "a place of ore."

Talk:Hydrogen peroxide

H2O2 as Virucide
Article says "H2O2 demonstrates broad-spectrum efficacy against viruses, bacteria, yeasts, and bacterial spores.[69][70]" - Hm, not so fast, or only in specific cases, which need more detailing.

Ref 1: https://doi.org/10.1016%2Fj.jhin.2020.10.003 - "In conclusion, there is no scientific evidence supporting the indication of hydrogen peroxide mouthwash for control of the viral load regarding SARS-CoV-2 or any other viruses in saliva."

Ref 2: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33299988/ - Says "Both 5% (v/v) Colgate Peroxyl and 5% (v/v) povidone-iodine inactivated virus effectively" - which doesn't fit other findings, however it's a different mixture, etc.

Ref 3: https://doi.org/10.1002%2F9781118425831.ch9 - e.g. "H2O2 is found to be resistent against Poliovirus"

''Information was added to Virucide too. KR,''

 * The dose makes the poison. Humans and viruses seems to be able to tolerate 5% solutions, but for sterilization of surfaces (which is what the paragraph is discussing) you might use up to 30%. --Project Osprey (talk) 19:07, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

alternative medicine practises
So, regarding the uses of hydrogen peroxide as an alternative medicine. It's hard to determine how common the practise is, but I feel that it warrants mentioning. If it is included then we need to say what people are doing with it and why - otherwise we're not describing the practise. WP:MEDRS compliant medical assessments of those activates of that can obviously follow - but sources describing the beliefs themselves will probably be fringe, because it's a fringe belief. I'm not sure how to get around that. --Project Osprey (talk) 13:22, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Is it covered in non-fringe reliable sources? If so, great. But if it's nonsense we're taking it upon ourselves to excavate then WP:VALIDity would be a problem. Alexbrn (talk) 13:41, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * My intent was merely to say why people did this. Explanation need not be validation. There did seem some virtue in linking back to a fringe source; as that's where the 'why' originates. I'm not sure if the reasoning is covered much in reputable sources, those mostly focus on the provable facts of the practice. I suppose I can look. --Project Osprey (talk) 14:17, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * My question is: is this something that good sources discuss? Wikipedia is meant to be a tertiary publication. What I'd want to see is a source discussing why people use/promote Hydrogen peroxide as an altmed treatment. Perhaps this? Alexbrn (talk) 14:21, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Well I think that source actually illustrates my point: a focus on outcomes rather than the beliefs that lead to them. I've no real experience editing alt-med material, but surely such questions have come up before. Is there's a taskforce? I do see your point but I'm not sure how swayed I am by it - if an explanation isn't given elsewhere then it shouldn't be given here either? --Project Osprey (talk) 14:38, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I think that's the point of WP:VALID - fringe ideas shouldn't be covered except through a contextualizing rational lens. The place to get more input is WP:FT/N. Surely somebody has written about the false claims made for Hydrogen peroxide? (Add this looks more promising.)Alexbrn (talk) 14:41, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I had aimed for context when I first wrote the section. My reasoning as a narrative was something like:
 * "Why would someone drink hydrogen peroxide?" - "Because they think it might fight cancer"
 * "Okay, but why would they think that?" - "Well, unfortunately, because of things that can be made to sound reasonable: phagocytes over-generalised, the Warburg hypothesis told backwards"
 * The second paragraph, which you have left, picks at those points but you have removed the context that framed them, so now it doesn't make a lot of sense. Hence my reverting your edit.--Project Osprey (talk) 14:59, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * This non-primary reference explicitly covers the phenomenon of hydrogen peroxide consumption and may help put it in context.

Inhaling hydrogen peroxide to prevent COVID-19
So apparently this is a thing now: https://community.aafa.org/blog/danger-don-t-nebulize-hydrogen-peroxide-and-breathe-it-to-try-to-treat-or-prevent-covid-19

"A concerning and dangerous trend is circulating on social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok. People are breathing in hydrogen peroxide through nebulizers to try to prevent or treat COVID-19."

Wolverine, Michigan

Wolverine is a village in Cheboygan County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 244 at the 2010 census.

The village is mostly located within Nunda Township with a small portion extending west into Wilmot Township. It is located directly west of Interstate 75 about 40 mi south of the Mackinac Bridge.

History
The area was originally settled by Jacob Shook and his family as early as 1874. The community was named "Torrey" when George Richards settled in the area soon after. Venturing to the area was difficult, as the nearest railway line ended in Gaylord about 20 mi to the south. Richards was a frequent traveler back and forth to Gaylord for mail and supplies, often staying mid-route at Vanderbilt. He requested a closer post office, which was granted under the name Wolverine in late 1880.

The post office was first established on January 3, 1881, and continues to remain in operation. Richards served as the first postmaster. As an early settler of the community, he helped organize and operate the local school district and was also a real estate dealer and lumberman. He was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in 1903.

In 1881, Wolverine recorded 18 residents. Soon after, the Jackson, Lansing, and Saginaw Railroad Company received a deed and began railway construction at the community of Trowbridge about 5 mi to the southeast. By 1891, the population of Wolverine increased to about 1,000 residents, who mainly worked for the railway and lumbering industry. The community incorporated as a village in 1903. By 1905, the area population was around 1,800. When the lumber industry declined by the 1930s, the population drastically decreased as many people left Wolverine.

Geography
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.99 sqmi, of which 0.98 sqmi is land and 0.01 sqmi (1.01%) is water.

Wolverine is situated on the Sturgeon River where the west branch joins the main branch at 45.27333°N, -84.60444°W.

Wolverine contains its own post office using the 49799 ZIP Code, which is the highest numeric ZIP Code in the state's Lower Peninsula. The Wolverine post office serves a much larger area that includes most of Nunda Township and Wilmot Township, as well as smaller portions of Ellis Township and Mentor Township.

History
The township and island are named after Gordon Drummond, the first Canadian-born officer to command the military and the civil government of British Canada. As Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, Drummond distinguished himself on the Niagara front in the War of 1812 and later became Governor-General and Administrator of Canada. The Ojibwe name for the island is Bootaagan-minising (syncope as Bootaagan-mnising recorded as "Potagannissing"), meaning "at the Mill Island".

The history of Drummond Island dates back centuries, but more recent history of the past 200 years relates to the British occupation of the island during and after the War of 1812. The island was the last British outpost on American soil following the Treaty of Ghent (1814). On October 6, 1828, orders were sent out from Quebec that the post would be handed over, and the island was officially occupied by United States on November 14, 1828. Drummond Island was originally recorded by Americans as First Manitoulin Island and Drummond's Island.

Border on the Great Lakes
British and American negotiators to the 1814 Treaty of Ghent ended the War of 1812 by offering no territorial concessions to either side, but returned to those boundaries set by the Treaty of Paris of 1783. To resolve territorial claims that had precipitated the war, negotiators at Ghent established a process whereby commissioners would survey the boundary to determine the borders envisioned in the original treaty.

Beginning in August 1820, two teams of surveyors, including British explorer and cartographer David Thompson, mapped the area of St. Joseph Island, Drummond Island, and Lesser and Greater Manitou Islands (today Cockburn and Manitoulin islands). Mapping this corner of Lake Huron was a challenge given that little was known about the shores and depths of the channels between the islands. The agent for the United States survey team, Major Joseph Delafield, complained, "No map that I have seen has any truth as it respects the position of Drummond's or the other islands about St. Marys. We entered this bay without a pilot, but are told we cannot proceed up river without one."

Based on the surveys taken in the summers of 1820 and 1821, and guided by the commission's two principles that the boundary would not divide islands and that the number of islands would be apportioned equally between the two countries, in November and December 1821, commissioners agreed to grant St. Joseph Island and Cockburn Island to Canada and Drummond Island, which lies between them, to the United States.

Geography
According to the US Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 644.9 km2, of which 333.9 km2 is land and 311.0 km2, or 48.23%, is water. The island is dominated by forest, with cliffs on the eastern side, which are part of the Niagara Escarpment.

Most of the island, approximately $2/3$, is state land owned by the state of Michigan. The island hosts a rare environment known as alvar, a grassy limestone plain found only in a few places worldwide. Drummond Island is the largest island in the Manitoulin Island chain to be part of the United States.

Drummond Township is one of only seven municipalities in the state of Michigan to consist entirely of islands, including Grosse Ile Township, St. James Township, Bois Blanc Township, Mackinac Island, Peaine Township, and Sugar Island Township.

Major highways
