Show me a story over a cinnamon roll . . .
Sonny’s is set to reopen next week. Chris and Sonny will be the people swanning about wearing suntans and relaxed expressions.

February 24, 2009
Jack Bodis says Torch Lake Views has been making him feel cold, what with pictures of horses wearing snowsuits, the frozen Bay and the ice-boats on Torch Lake. He says “we have to live with it, there’s no reason we should have to look at it too.” Jack is a printer (he did one of […]

The Fire Part Soooo . . . on Friday the volunteer fire department spent an hour over at the Eastport Market. When the parking lot is full of fire trucks it tends to put people off coming in to shop, although in Torch Lake Township you never can tell. For one thing, half of us […]

February 21, 2009
On Thursday I had a little adventure with a couple of old friends (and some new ones, too). We piled into a rubber raft and cruised down the Jordan River. I can hear you now. What were you thinking??? Well, this is what comes of spending long months in the north country in winter. Getting […]
