		<description><![CDATA[Jan. 19, 2012 - Arsenic and Old Lace, a black comedy first produced on Broadway in 1941, will be the next production of Island Players. It will be performed at the TPAC on Friday, February 17, and Saturday, February 18, at 7:00 p.m. on both evenings.

What is a black comedy? A black comedy “makes light of serious and often taboo subject matter,” says one encyclopedia. And in this play that serious but funny subject just happens to be – Murder!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have come over to Washington Island on a cold February morning, driving from Sturgeon Bay to Northport where the Washington Island boats put in when they can't use Gills Rock; the Gills Rock side, I have seen, is completely frozen in. The trees stand blackly silent and tall at the peninsula's end, and the road is deserted, not a person or a moving vehicle visible as I turn from Gills Rock to Northport in the early light. The desolate Northport wharf is covered with thick ice...]]></description>

As of this printing of the Observer, the Island’s spring-like weather has broken and colder temps have finally brought some snow. Maybe there will be ice on the lake after all by February.

Now here’s an unusual sight for northeastern Wisconsin: a flock of flamingos, not only enjoying an Island yard but also bringing happy birthday wishes!

		<description><![CDATA[Jan. 1, 2012 - <strong>Consider this scenario for Washington Island: </strong>
Your township’s population hasn’t changed by more than 25 residents, up or down, in over 40 years. The main township industry is tourism, with a very small amount of fishing and farming. Citizens and property owners have scratched their collective head to come up with business ideas that might infuse their community with jobs and help the local economy...]]></description>
