Biscayne Bay icebreaker heading towards Beaver
Still a few miles south of Beaver Island, but at least there is a channel being cut in our direction! Still quite a bit of ice but spring may be on the way. Thanks to Buddy and to Michelle and Richie for pointing out this site which does a neat job of showing the route: http://shipfinder.co/ship/366...

When the Beacon site was launched in October of 2002 the forum was added along with the gallery to share extra photos that didn't fit in the early issues and news items, announcements, and other items that were timely and between issues. In the first part of 2003 Richie had the idea of registering t...

Hi Holly - I have no idea whether the cabin you described is still standing, but I do have this photo of my grandmother (Mary Gatliff) feeding a fawn with a baby bottle that was taken about the same time you mentioned in your email. http://www.beaverbeacon.com/fimg/gramanddeer.jpg The fawn was in a ...

The forum doesn't support uploading images directly (I could modify it to do so, but I'm waiting on the next version first... long story...) You can either upload it to your own web space or ISP web space and link to it (or use IMG tags to call it into a post.) Or you are welcome to upload it to our...

Beaver Island Artists featured on TV 7-4 news at 5:00
Having heard about the renaissance of Beaver Island art, anchorwoman Diana Fairbanks of TV 7 & 4 and cameraman Bob Rhodes came hereâ??a first for them bothâ??in late July to see for themselves and to interview Sue Thompson, Mary Scholl, Skip Duhamel, Pat Boyle, and Cindy Ricksgers, a representative sample of the Island offerings. Skip had to work, saying, â??If you want to interview me, youâ??ll have to climb on the boat.â? So they did, and suddenly found themselves hearing about the spiritual aspect of totem pole carving while Skip lifted his nets at High Island. It seemed the day had just begun when it was time for Diana and Bob to get on the five oâ??clock plane. Knowing there was much more to see, they promised theyâ??d be backâ??and would set aside more than a single day for their next visit.
