Donavon "Donnie" Smith has been battling acute leukemia. His twin sister Ardelle says he is making daily trips to Eau Claire Hospital for various treatments fighting many obstacles. "He needs your cards and prayers, anything you can contribute to his painful stressful and financially difficult situation. He is the most selfless person I know and has been there for so many. Now is our chance to be there for him. We believe in miracles! God is his refuge and strength. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! God bless you!"

Prescribed Burn in the Wildlife Refuge Near Port on West Side - The original information I received from the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Preserve was they planned to make a prescribed burn on the refuge property sometime between the week of March 21st and early summer, depending on the weather. The refuge is west of Sunset Cay Villas, building 1 and the Sunset Cay Lakes buildings (290 through 350 Newport Drive) and west of the canal. Joyce Palmer of the refuge was here last week, though, and indicated that their plans may change, as they still haven't received permission to burn around Calusa shell mounds. In any case, this essentially will be a purposely-set brush fire and should be at least 500 feet west of the grassy areas at the Lakes and canal. You can expect to possibly see ATVs on Sunset Cay property and you will see smoke. The fires will be hand lit along Route 41 and helicopters will be dropping incendiary devices further in the preserve. The burn will be made on a day with a northerly or easterly component to the wind to keep smoke and sparks away from the buildings. There also will be fire equipment nearby for any emergency. If you leave the Port during that time period, you might want to keep your doors and windows closed. So far the Wildlife Refuge cannot give us a narrower time slot, Dave Molberg will keep us posted.

Procedure for TURNING OFF WATER at the Backflow Preventer - For residents of the Port who want to turn their water service off while they are away for extended periods of time please follow the following instructions: To extend the service life of the backflow preventer you will turn off the valve after the backflow. This will ensure that the gaskets, o-rings, etc… will remain under pressure and wet while the water is off to your home. In the picture you see that the side of the backflow is marked with the direction of flow. The valve located at the discharge side of the backflow is the proper valve to shut, as shown in the picture. Not all properties are equiped with the Backflow Preventer, it is an on-going project to get them all done.
