All the folks at St. Paul’s Protestant Church have been busy collecting for the awesome WHITE ELEPHANT and the classy SILENT AUCTION and the yummy STRAWBERRY PIES & SHORTCAKES! The day is always lovely with familiar faces, a gorgeous quilt, homemade fudge and Indian crafts. Pile the gang in the car and head on over (208 Orchid). Plan to enjoy a lovely lunch as you shop all the old and new treasures. This is an important annual fundraiser for St. Paul and they appreciate your support. THIS SATURDAY, JULY 12, 10 - 3pm Welcome Back to the Nicolai Clan Here’s to Making Memories On Harsens Island Have Fun!

Stay safe, soldier boy. We Love You The THE VERNIER 586.725.0361 8822 Vernier Rd Fair Haven, MI 48023 Bill Gilmore www.thevernier.com DOLAN PALOOZA is in full swing!!! We are soooo happy To have y’all here! I decided to feature a different ISLAND BUSINESS each week. This week's special business feature is 1784 North Channel Dr. Harsen’s Island, MI 48028 Summer Hours 8 AM to 4:30 PM Daily BuildTech Inc. John and Patty Wonsowicz incorporated BuildTech in 1985. This fully licensed, fully insured, family owned/operated business offers a wide range of design and construction services. Over the past 25 years, they have worked hard to meet the changing needs of their customers. For example, they've received many requests from people who want to make their home more energy efficient. With the 2009 Energy Efficiency tax credit and unpredictable fuel costs, this has proven to be a wise investment. Given the fact that many couples chose to retire on the island, BuildTech has years of experience in designing homes that offer more sustainable spaces. This team of talented, versatile professionals have also helped countless customers with affordable home improvement projects that aim to make their homes more marketable or just more enjoyable. BuildTech can handle any type of project from large to small; exterior/interior remodeling, additions, decks, garages, kitchens, baths, ADA accessible, extreme home makeovers, etc. You can choose to utilize their design services combined with construction services or their conceptual/interior design services. They have discovered that, with the weak economy, more and more customers are choosing to handle smaller portions of the project by themselves and contracting out the larger initial portion of the project. BuildTech uses an Auto CAD design program to create conceptual designs to give the customer what they want. Once the conceptual drawing phase is complete, they create working CAD prints. However, they are not limited to CAD, they can also use another program which gives customers a 3-D experience if they wish. They work on laying out your dreams and helping you break up your overall project into steps you can complete as time and money allows. On a personal note, we've hired BuildTech when we needed help and I was impressed with their punctuality, quality workmanship and customer satisfaction guarantee. I also applaud the fact that they hire only local employees, many life long island residents.

Jean, a resident of Algonac, and her fellow classmate, MaryLou Barr, met a group of guys at the ferry, including one young man from Grosse Pointe whose parents had a cottage on the S. Channel. The group of teens spent the day going from Kulo's (present day S.Channel Boat Club) to Brown's. "We started dating and never quit. We're best friends. We like the same things, especially the island!" Two years after they met, Don & Jean celebrated a simple, low budget ($500) wedding at the Congregational Church in New Baltimore. Jean remembers all the curl draining out of her hair, amidst the 92 degree temperatures, and her wedding gown was covered with fish flies!! They drove to Caseville for their wedding night, and quickly returned home so they could get back to work at their Chrysler plants on Monday! Over the years, they have lived in Detroit, Birmingham and Clinton Township, working and raising their two children (James & Laurie). But summertime always included making memories on the island. First, staying at Don's parents place on S. Channel, and later, they bought their own cottage down in the flats. Now that the 3 grandkids are here, that makes 4 generations of Verslypes having fun on Harsens Island. The couple celebrated their 50th with a lovely dinner party at the IHYC, surrounded by dozens of their island friends they have known throughout their life together. They were thrilled with the exquisite table decorations artistically fashioned by Arlene "Flower Lady" Earl. Everyone raved about the food (prepared by Chef Bonnie Storm) and "Reverend" Dick Earl officiated the memorable "renewal of their vows." Needless to say, a good time was had by all!
