Selected from the week’s calls to the Sheriff’s northern substation and the Misquah first responders. Names are withheld where charges were not filed, which this week is everyone, including the sun.

Monday, 6:42 a.m. Caller reported the sun “looked wrong.” Deputy Vang observed the sun and concurred as to appearance, dissented as to wrongness, and provided the advisory information. Caller thanked the deputy and stated she would “keep an eye on it,” which the desk has logged as the town’s official policy.

Monday, 9:15 p.m. Report of a crowd at the public landing, standing in haze contrary to guidance. Crowd found to be watching the sunset it had been advised against. The advisory was read aloud; the crowd remained; the deputy remained with it. The log records the sunset as “noncompliant, corroborated.”

Tuesday, 8:30 a.m. A caller reported the gym at Lakeside “singing with the doors shut.” Deputy confirmed band camp, relocated indoors per the advisory, and notes the caller is the same resident who reported improvement two weeks ago. He wished the record to reflect the improvement has survived the move. The record so reflects, in ink, like the ladder.

Wednesday, 2:20 p.m. Motorist reported smoke from the roof of the old Co-op creamery, Second Avenue. Fire chief responded, identified the plume as steam, and identified the building by smell as “making bread, or close to it.” Logged at the chief’s request as “best call of the month,” and the desk notes the month has heard stiff competition.

Wednesday, 8:05 p.m. Bonfire reported on the Loon Lake shore in violation of the county ban. Occupants extinguished same upon the deputy’s approach and received the full text of the ban, plus the fire chief’s abridgment, which is shorter. No citation. The education is described as complete.

Thursday, 6:10 a.m. Multiple callers reported “a loon flying.” Confirmed (see Lakes). No action possible; none desired. One caller asked that congratulations be entered into the record. Entered.

Friday, 11:30 a.m. A box fan was reported missing from a porch on Third Street. Fan located next door, in use, accompanied by a note and a plate of bars. Parties known to each other since 1987. Custody of the fan will rotate through the advisory under terms the desk describes as “the casserole rules, but louder.” Civil matter.

Saturday, 12:04 p.m. Fair entrant received at the extension office with a pie and a story, four minutes past noon. Entry declined per the rule; story heard in full per the custom. The office reports the story was good, the pie was better, and both will be welcome next year, earlier.
