The White Lake area is proud to have its own weekly news publication. When I was little it was called The Observer, but for many years has been known as The White Lake Beacon. When I was in 6th grade I had a job delivering The Beacon. I made $5.25 each week which gave me plenty of money to go to Pitkin's Drug Store and buy stickers. It was the 80's and stickers were the whip!
The Beacon used to be a one section paper, and I remember being amazed when they went to two. And then they added color!! All this technology has come at a price though. Up until last year The Beacon was free, a gift to us all. Now you must pay (I think it's like $27 a year) but it's well worth the cost. My favorite part is probably the police log. They seem to add a little jazz to the descriptions of the small-time Mayberryish crimes that take place here. It always makes me laugh.
