Hi All,

If anyone is looking for a great house / cottage cleaning person, we have one recently returned to the area who I can highly recommend.   She has done cleaning for a number of people on the lake and I know everyone was universally pleased.

Her name is Becky Clingan and her phone number is (231) 585-6134.   She charges between $12 - $15 per hour, depending on the scope of the work you’d like done.    She is thorough, dependable and trustworthy.     It is difficult to find someone near our area and Becky is the best we’ve found yet!   If you call her, leave a message - she’s very quick about returning calls.

Any questions, feel free to call me at 544-5006.

Regards,

Robin Wottowa

My name is Marsha Keeton and my husband and I own a lot on Six Mile Lake Road next to John and Ruthann Hebden. We are in the process of putting a house on the lot but have run into some problems with the septic permit. I was wondering if anyone else on the lake has had any problems getting a permit?

Does anyone on the lake have any suggestions or names we can contact in order to get our permit? Our builder is working on it but I thought I would contact you for help.

We purchased the lot with the intent of putting a house on it and now we are very upset because the guy at the Health Department would not grant a permit due to a little stream of water flowing between our property and our neighbors property.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Marsha & Randy Keeton

I am sorry to imform you of the death of Duane Aleo.  He and Dolly had lived on the lake at the end of Leisure lane for years and recently moved off the lake to Dingman School Rd, because it got to be too much work for them.  He died Friday May 15 ,2009.  There was no funeral or memorial.  I know that Dolly would like to recieve Cards or visits from you.  Dolly Aleo 4063 Dingman School Rd. East Jordan, MI 49727.  

Thank You,

Wow! Easter Sunday we looked out to the lake and on the ice were two male eagles and a female.  They were doing the mating dance.  Wish I had a camera that could get a great picture.  I am sure this is a once in a life time siting.  This winter we have had many eagle siting.  There was a dead deer on the ice  between Daniels and Van Andles two eagles had many of dinners on that one.  What a great place to live.

What may be the first dock in the water in 2009 was put out on Easter Sunday by Tom Kupovits.  We still had ice floating on the lake.  Hurry up spring. Water still is way too high for most docks.

I wanted to let everyone know that if you should want your house sprayed for carpenter ants , spiders, etc, please contact Blossom Pest Control of Boyne City 1-800-582-0020. They are offering the best rates anywhere. We have used Hogarths Pest Control for several years and they raised their rates this year from $200 to $300 (per house) and five of us neighbors go together to save costs so they only have to make one trip. Questioning the huge rate increase didn’t seem to matter to Hogarths…they didn’t even bother to return our call (as of this posting). Blossom is doing the same work for $150 per house. The owner, Diana, told me they are working hard to try to keep their rates down so I encourage you to give Blossom Pest Control a call.

In case you didn’t hear about it, Tapawingo has closed down.  Even if you didn’t go to this restaurant, it’s sad to see what this economy is doing to good, small, local businesses.

You can read more about it here…Derrick.
