A peek inside the Community Services Building
February 22, 2008
Supervisor Bob Spencer carved out some time this morning to show me around the interior of the new township hall – officially dubbed the Community Services Building.

A Torch Lake love story for Valentine’s Day
February 14, 2008
I met Don and Audrey Gould – Donnie and Dee Dee – in 1996, when I fell in love with my own place in the woods and found it hard to go home on Sunday afternoons. They’ve shared their stories, their coffee and cookies, and their chipmunks with me, and taught me that if you […]
