| McDonough's: Seventy years Serving Beaver IslandOn May 10th McDonough's Market celebrated 70 years in business 
                by staging a picnic in their parking lot, working as hard to keep 
                the ample crowd fed as they work in their other endeavors. Limited 
                seating kept those sitting down to 64, so the enterprising Islanders 
                contrived a complicated system in which they showed up and ate 
                in shifts. Several people were heard trying to convince Skip that 
                seventy years and one month was an equally important anniversary 
                that should be celebrated in a similar manner.
