Katherine’s out and about again
Katherine has been laid up a bit, and had time to think up all sorts of things. Last week she wrote, I sprained my foot a few days ago so I’ve been hobbling around trying to walk the dog briefly. It’s okay I just have to walk sideways with one foot because if it bends […]

Five treatment wells and a red truck
February 11, 2010
Nearly four decades ago underground storage tanks at the Standard Service Station in Torch Lake Village began to leak. The gasoline contaminated the soil, the groundwater, and some nearby drinking water wells. Eventually it contaminated a community well at Bay Harbor Club. The service station is long gone. The gasoline remains. Part I of this […]

A snowshoe party on Chandler Hill
February 7, 2010
Nancy and Glenn live over in Chandler Township, Charlevoix County–a community that makes Torch Lake Township look positively urban. Today they had a chili and snowshoe/cross-country party. Had a good day for it, too. They served venison chili and vegetarian chili and cookies and brownies and blueberry cake. People brought side dishes and more desserts. There was fine sock-footed conversation […]
“I already have all the internet I need”
February 6, 2010
There are two schools of thought about the importance of improved internet service in the Township. You already know that I am firmly of the school that believes reliable high-speed internet is as essential to our future as decent roads and a ready supply of electricity. There is another school of thought: “I already have all the […]
