New Harsens Island News Blog

Unfortunately I have to do this because some of my features on old HIN will be discontinued by the people who make them.

Hate to do this in the middle of an imminent ICE JAM, but have no choice....comments on old HIN blog will stop working tomorrow!

New HIN is not the way we want it as yet...colors, features, etc. but we will be adjusting it in he next few days and weeks.

Also forgive any spelling errors, I can't find the spell checker yet!!!!

While I find the postings here both amusing and sometimes informative, what really matters is why can't Champions Ferry owners or employees
simply post the current status of ferry using this or another site.

A simple posting by them that ferry is open or closed would notify all the people with internet access the current status of ferry.

Champion not doing this just shows the total contempt he has for his fellow islanders and customers.

A little ditty to be sung to "Leaving on a Jet Plane".

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The air boat's waiting, he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so frozen I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on an airboat
I don't know how it floats.
Oh, babe, I hate to go

There's so many times the ferry's shut down
So many times the Bristol Bay's been round
I'll tell you now, they can't do a thing

Every place I go, I see ice
Every trip I make, I'm like ice
When I come back I'll pray again for spring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me so I won't freeze

'Cause I'm leaving on Bob's airboat
I sure glad I have a coat
Oh, babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the summer time
When we won't have this ice around
About the times that I won't have to say ...

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me cuz I'm so froze

'Cause I'm leaving on an airboat
I pray I won't have to float
Oh, babe, I hate to go

The real word is communication and why any islander with online access
cannot go to a single current site
for information in these times is a problem. This problem can be resolved simply by the ferry owners
to use such a site. Whether this one, his brothers, clay twp or St. Clair county alert. His refusal to do that shows his lack of respect for
his fellow islanders.

Hello Island friends. Update from Harrison Twp: the water level is up 6 - 8 inches from Sunday. Hopefully ice and water flow will continue to improve! Have fun!
