Torch Lake Inn
April 9, 2010

The gasoline remains. Part I of this […]

For those of you who missed it, probably because you’re in Florida or Arizona for the winter, this is your chance to catch up. Jack Norris of Torch Lake Township has researched this issue […]
Prickly issues
July 23, 2009
This bull thistle is an apt symbol for contentious Township meetings. It’s shaped like a bullhorn, full of ouch, yet beautiful—not unlike democracy in action. (Someone said Democracy is a terrible system but the best one we’ve invented so far.) As I waded through wet bull thistles taking pictures, I discovered a little drama at the […]
