Lures and Legends added to Matt and Lisa’s puzzle empire
I love fishing lures. Comes of hanging out at Amanda Campbell’s father’s bait shop in Rhinelander a hundred years ago. So when Chris Szejbach showed me a picture of the newest puzzle from Puzzles that Rock, I was hooked. Lures and Legends will be on sale at Sonny’s Torch Lake Market and other fine emporia […]
There are no secrets in Torch Lake Township
September 15, 2009
People have asked about this banner on US 31. Here is what I know that I will tell you. Ben and Callie went to school together, to 4-H together, and to college together. “Ben” is Ben Cupp. He wanted to marry Callie, so he caused the banner to be made and unfurled it some time […]
Letter from Norton: GAR emerges from mist

September 7, 2009
I dropped by the Wilkinson Homestead on Sunday afternoon to get a last look at the Halfaker/Sparks quilt collection and stumbled on a new treasure. Loraine Mottern was there, showing people through the quilt exhibit. “Have you seen our latest acquisition?” she asked, and showed me this flag. Who was George Martin? What was Post […]
No sun, no rain, no problem
August 29, 2009
Friday was supposed to be sunny and breezy, because our little band of neighbors planned to have dinner on the deck at the Dockside. Mama Nature pouted, and we had to settle for clouds. Did we give up? We did not. This business of eating outdoors under glowering skies is getting to be a habit. […]
