Making it home for the holidays in the North Country
This is the season for travel. Pile the presents and the kids in the car and head for Grandma’s. Or pile self in the car and head for the kids’ house. Or head for Cherry Capital Airport to stand sockfooted in the security line as TSA officials examine toothpaste. In all cases, prepare for Weather. […]
Real estate in Torch Lake Township

I do not usually cover this particular aspect of Township life, but it all fell into place as we were out and about on our rounds today, and I thought you'd like to see it.

November 4, 2010
Recently the Township Planning Commission, in its wisdom, decided that one way to prevent medical marijuana "compassion clubs" from popping up like mushrooms in Torch Lake Township would be to eliminate "clubs" from permitted uses in the Zoning Ordinance.

Bridge clubs, euchre clubs, book clubs, knitting clubs, model railroad clubs . . .
I get by with a little help from my friends
September 21, 2010
There I was in a swivet about the presentation to the Wilkinson bunch when Lois Dawson called. It was time to stop working on the slideshow now, she told me. I needed to forget about it for a little minute. Would I like to come over and go for a walk? She was making some raspberry tarts to bring to the presentation. She and Gary would get there early to help set up.

Blowing away the cobwebs
September 9, 2010
Sometimes a person just has to walk away from piles of paper and digital displays and get outside. Dogs, of course, are always on board with that decision, so on Tuesday Miss Sadie, the Cowboy and I snuck away from the Civil War veterans and headed over to the Antrim Creek Natural Area. We didn’t […]
