At the start of the pandemic in March we took the decision to make online access to our news free of charge by taking down our paywall. At a time where accurate information about Covid-19 was vital to our community, this was the right decision – even though it meant a drop in our income. In order to help safeguard the future of our journalism, the time has now come to reinstate our paywall, However,
rest assured that access to all Covid related news will still remain free.
To access all other news will require a subscription, as it did pre-pandemic. The good news is that for the whole of December we will be running a special discounted offer to get 3 months access for the price of one month. Thank you for supporting us during this incredibly challenging time.

For a Dutchman, being near water is almost a life’s necessity. After selling my house in Hancock, I rented a home on the shores of Portage Lake; just outside of the Houghton city limits. It was a beautiful setting and I truly enjoyed watching nature’s diversity. Each day and night differed from the ones before. The lake was almost a mile wide at that point and seemed to echo life itself. There were times of angry waves pounding the shore seeking to demolish whatever stood in its path; and at other times, when the lake, its anger spent, was at peace with itself; and in the moonlight the tranquility gods smiled.
