out of step

Hi Lumber folks,
I have a broken step on my deck and need a piece of womanized 48" 2x10. In this time of board shortages, I hate to buy a 8 footer just to cut it in half. If you have a clean fresh piece, please call 2825. Save a tree.

Re: TDS DSL compatible modems

Hi B.I.G., It has been my experience that the Windstream T3200M ADSL 2+ bonded modem works with TDS. I purchased mine on eBay for $46.00 several years ago. TDS says tech support won't be available, but they have worked with me. Here is a link to a similar model. Read the model numbers carefully. You...

Re: Edward McDuffie RIP

For those of you who did not know Ed, he was a true renaissance man. I had the pleasure of teaching with him at Bellaire Public Schools. It was my first year and he was an influential mentor and good friend. We, the living, will mourn your passing. Avē atque valē.

Re: Dusty roads

Hi Island Co-Walkers, Thanks Jackie! I second your plea. I walk regularly down East Side Drive, and despite signaling drivers to slow down as they approach, I am continually dusted. Please, have some compassion and consideration for our dust, pollen clogged lungs. Town is never more than 15 miles aw...

Re: Water

The Peaine township park on East Side Drive has a hand pump.
Back in the 70's we were able to drink the water right out of Lk. Michigan.

Re: FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS TO BE CANCELLED

To the Township Boards, Thank You for remaining vigilant in protecting the health and welfare of our island community. Canceling the fireworks was not an easy or popular decision. We are not out of the woods yet. It is the nature of infectious diseases not to care if you are restless or need to recr...

Hi Islanders, After making a phone reservation on the ferry, it occurred to me that contact between boat company employees and passengers could be minimized if credit cards were accepted and billings were paid for on the spot over the phone. Entry to the offices, contact with tickets and face to fac...

Re: Water Trail Signage Being Vandalized

Don't jump to conclusions!!! I have personally found several of the water trail signs washed up on the beach. I have had occasion to walk the shoreline at some of the access points mentioned and the signs were in the flotsam far from the original site. If they aren't already buried by the rising lak...

Re: Starwatching With BIDL July 30th!

Hi Everyone with stars in their eyes,
Thanks to all who made the dark sky star party possible! Your efforts were over the moon. Is there a retrograde watch planned?
Astronomically enjoyable and informational.
