WEDDING ENGAGEMENT ANNIVERSARY Special to the Journal Special to the Journal Special to the Journal Mackinac Island bits and pieces The Chicago to Mackinac Island Yacht Race is the longest fresh-water sail boat race in the world. The 300 yachts in this year’s race passed right in front of Cable Cottage with their colorful spinnakers and sails unfurled. What a tough competition and what a beautiful sight. The island horses come in all shapes, sizes and breeds. The most beautiful, to me, are the Fresians. The Hackneys are gorgeous also and are used to pull the most unusual of the car riages, which usually carry visiting dignitaries, brides and grooms. The majority of the horses are the work/utility horses - Percherons and Belgians - and they pull the tour carriages, taxis and drays (freight delivering wagons). Mackinac Island does not allow horse diapers, so men, known as pooper scoopers, are hired by the city to patrol the island and Amanda Marie Long Andrew and Misti Hinson Long of Warner Robins announce the birth of a daughter, Amanda Marie Long at Houston Medical Center on July 24.

It is the mnemonic device used in school to aid stu dents in remembering the five Great Lakes -Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie and Superior. Since small Mackinac Island sits in the middle of large Lake Huron, the blue sky makes the blue water look bluer than can be imagined. The storms that roll through large bodies of water are awesome. The other night I was awak ened in the night by the sound of thunder far, far away.
