Grading from top Maple Hill

The road has been graded after the big rainfall on the weekend. Grading from the top of maple hill to the end of the annex on Clarke Road and down the causeway hill to the causeway.

The stone crush with fines on the causeway hill is quite deep and will require some traffic and rain to pack it down.

Bear alert

Small bear on the island.  It was peeking into a cottage through a window yesterday.  No sign of a mother bear around.  Watch you dogs.

A new problem?

      According to a tradesman on the island, he working on a cottage that has a major infestation of carpenter ants.  He said that it may take most of the summer to clear them out.
      This is the first time that there has been a mention of this problem, according to this editor.

Poison Ivy Alert

     A few cottagers have come down with a poison ivy infection.  A well informed local resident says that poison ivy is definitely in Bancroft.  Thus, by extrapolation, it could be in this area.

    Respond to this posting if you have detected or been infected with poison ivy.
