Beaver Island Michigan

We better start getting back in shape!

I am looking for any older clocks folks might have sitting around collecting dust. Electric or battery operated are just fine, though older wind-up clocks are ideal--I can't use digital clocks at all. I will be parting them out, so broken clocks are just fine. I'd be happy to pick them up. I'm only ...

Interesting editorial, but after seeing how many of your tax dollars were spent by the library to publish required election notices in a daily paper (not in the Boyne Gazette, admittedly), I'm inclined to wonder how much money the Gazette takes in annually for publishing such things. It may be that ...

I've had one contact regarding a rifle, but am still looking for any leads on used tree stands. Thanks!

Hello all! I wanted to put the word out that i am interested in new or used treestands anyone might be ready to part with. Ladder stands, (especially if they are built for two or more hunters) or hang-ons preferred. I have a climber, so I'm not really interested in another. Even if it needs some wor...

Might anyone out there know a local real estate lawyer who could help draw up a fairly simple offer to purchase a home on a land contract and get us through the subsequent negotiation process? Any leads would be appreciated. We are hoping to act fairly quickly, so the sooner the better. Thanks much!

The craft group will be meeting tonight (2/4/15) at the library.

A good friend of the library, Foster Palmer, passed away January 2nd. An obituary can be found here http://www.meaningfulfunerals.net/home/ ... id/2893894. Best wishes to all his family and friends.

I've found references to keeners in the Helen Collar papers in the Clarke Hist. Library online archive. Does anyone remember any stories or references to someone keening at wakes on the Island? This is a really interesting Irish tradition that made the trip to our shores and survived here for a whil...

We have a mid 1990s Mercury station wagon for sale. It sat all winter, but it ran fine when we parked it (that is not to say it is free of issues, of course). Has a relatively new fuel pump and computer, amongst other things. We're asking $500 or best offer. Come by the Sweet's house on Maple Street...

How much are raffle tickets, Jacque?

I am currently seeking stories of ghosts, goblins, banshees, and things that go bump in the night, with a focus on Beaver Island (well, the whole archipelago, really). The goal is to produce a volume of Island legends and stories of the mysterious and unexplained. I am not looking for original ficti...

The Beaver Island District Library is seeking sturdy medium-sized boxes for moving books. If you have some to contribute, you can drop them off at the library during open hours, or contact me and I can pick them up. Thanks!

You might look into The Brothers' Place which has, in the past, rented rooms. I'm not sure how to contact them, though.

Way to go, Joe. You deserve it!
