Hit or miss: Quick opinions about newsmakers and events MLive.com: A brief Editorial Board look at the recent actions of Muskegon area newsmakers and events:
HIT
• Love Muskegon: We all love our home community, but many of us get bogged down in the challenges the community faces instead of embracing what's fantastic about living here. Now you can download a logo that will remind you every day. Sure it's a little thing, but one small step can launch a giant leap for our community. Check out www.LoveMuskegon.com.
• Muskegon City Commission diversity push: City commissioners have made expanding the diversity of the city police force and all city staff one of their top five goals. They're going to have their work cut out for them. Changing the city's civil service system, which has been defeated at the polls nine times, is not going to be easy. Commissioners better brush up on their arguments now. And it wouldn't hurt to try to generate quality police academy applicants from among area high school and college students. Maybe an internship like Muskegon Heights just implemented or adapting the Citizens Academy to young people would be a place to start.
• Global Awareness Festival: Muskegon Community College's emphasis on the Middle East at this year's event couldn't come at a better time. It will help area residents sort out the 2011 Arab Spring and what it means for the U.S. Events continue through Thursday featuring lectures, documentaries, seminars and an art exhibit. Best part: You don't have to be a student to attend.

Controversial wood-to-ethanol plant may finally get under way in Upper Peninsula Detroit Free Press freep.com
After a lengthy delay, construction of what could be the nation's first large-scale wood-to-ethanol plant in the country is to start this year in Michigan's eastern Upper Peninsula.
If successful, the $232-million biorefinery in Kinross Charter Township would transform the production of ethanol and spawn dozens of other facilities like it.

That's the premise behind the ethanol plant.
It's one of a number of projects around the country that are racing to become the first to produce large quantities of ethanol from non-food materials, such as trees, garbage and algae
