Island Ad-Vantages - April 25, 2024

In this issue

The state and federal governments have announced programs and funding for storm damage waterfront repairs. We have the details. The Island school board and school administrators are working through the annual budget process, seeking to keep programs operating while holding down cost increases for taxpayers. On a lighter note, we have a story (and, yes, a photo!) of a spring peeper, one of many aptly named chorus frogs now in full song each evening.
