Picnic Caters to Young and Young at Heart


All American boys,Wyatt, 2 and brother, Sammy Jay Steyer were ready for a good time Monday at the Chamber of Commerce Labor Day picnic.
The Labor Day Community picnic sponsored by the Boca Grande Chamber of Commerce started out slow at noon but by 2 p.m. the Louise duPont Crowninshield Community House was filled with hungry folks who feasted on BBQ chicken, baked beans, hot dogs and corn on the cob. Kids got a work out on the slip 'n slide and other games. See letter to the editor on page 7 and more photos on page 19 and 20.
Five-year-old Nick Caiazza enjoys the slippery slide. See more young folks enjoying the slide on page 19.

Dishong-Bowen House Takes Shape; Meets New Codes

By Jim Tucker

The Teacherage's new air conditioner keeps the inside air cool and dry for interior painters while the carpenters and outside prep crews do their sawing, hammering and scraping in the summer heat.

The reconstruction work heads for completion in November on both the Teacherage and Dishong-Bowen house.


Douglas Toth measures each piece of new siding on the Dishong-Bowen house. The new siding recreates the clapboard look of the original.

Both buildings blend into one with the addition of connecting, protected structure.

 

Dishgong-Bowen has new siding and impact resistant glass to go with it’s new foundation, frame, floors, walls and roof.

 


Chris Chilly, with his shadow helper, hand scrapes away old paint from the Teacherage's eaves.
