Didjenos and bank robbers – Mondays in Eastport are full of surprises
The Wilkinson Homestead Historical Society isn’t your average local history bunch. For one thing, it sponsors a summer lecture series that covers an amazing amount of local ground in very entertaining ways. Norton Bretz recruits the speakers, which probably explains the breadth of subject matter and the penchant for the piquant. This year’s lineup: June […]
Great and small, sweet and sad, each day brings news
May 12, 2009
I have been thinking about Lee Colvin, whose funeral begins in a couple of hours over at Mortensen’s in Central Lake. He seemed to me above all a truly happy man, who loved his abundant family and Torch Lake, liked his neighbors, and thought life was just one interesting thing after another. I enjoyed watching […]
Cottages of Torch Lake: Harris Beach
May 6, 2009
This morning Babs Young and I fortified ourselves with breakfast at Sonny’s and set off into the wilds of the Township on the trail of one of the oldest surviving cottages on Torch Lake, armed only with her camera, my pen, and our notoriety as intrepid reporters. Plus we had an invitation. This is Maude Harris’s log […]

February 18, 2009
The Weather Widget is glowing Advisory! and we’re in for it again. Might as well pull some bright bits and pieces out of the post pantry while the Writing Studio and Bait Shop sinks to its icicles in a black and white world. That cheerful offer appeared on the side of US-31 a couple of […]
Thus always to empires
February 8, 2009
As empires rise, so must they fall. The descendants of the fierce Vikings write blogs about design and rural England and, er, Torch Lake Township. The Aztec Empire was crushed by the Spanish Empire, which fell before the British Empire and ultimately before a ragtag bunch of Americans in 1898, leading to a whole school of Spanish […]
