| BUSY! BUSY!--Allison and
Dustin Carr, far left, purchased the former Crusty’s Pizza and
have made some family secret changes. Also pictured are employees,
l-r, Tina Lahti and Laney Minerick. |
Carrs carry on
family 'Pizza Shack' tradition
Those who have lived in the L’Anse area for some time may associate the
names Pizza Shack and Carr. Several decades ago, John and Vicki Carr
owned and operated the Pizza Shack on North Main Street. Now one of the
Carr’s sons–Dustin, and his wife Allison are carrying on a family
tradition.
Dustin and Allison purchased the former Crusty’s Pizza on East
Broad in downtown L’Anse last month and changed the name back to reflect
the family business of year’s past.
Things may look the same at the shop, despite the new owners,
but it’s the ingredients that have changed, said Allison.

Laura Augustine and Mina Delene brought four L’Anse High School

jobbed-out as they earned money for their July trip to Italy.
Mr. Prill brought two of his farm tractors down to the site, along
with two of his trailers and the brush pike up. That’s when the pitching
and raking really began!
Six hours later a large burn pile had risen on the now cleared
landscape. The Prills and Hanshaws were grateful for the energized help
for their cemetery restoration project, which has been a work in

Steakhouse is back in business
Two years after the

tap into the village's water system. But to faithful patrons, it's what
hasn't changed at Tony's that matter most:
The restaurant's reputation is for serving up great steaks.
"We have three of the former cooks on staff, so the steaks have the
same taste, and some of my old wait staff is back, too, "said Angie
Bianco, who purchased and runs the business with her husband, Joe. "And
the salad bar is back!"

Business boom
at Beacon
Year-end figures
indicate that Beacon House, the Upper Peninsula’s hospital hospitality
house, in Marquette, provided accommodations for nearly 14,000 guests in
2007.
That is an increase of nearly 1,500 people over the 2006 total and
an all-time high annual total.
The facility's weekday occupancy also rose from 61percent in 2006
to 69 percent during the fifth year of operation at the House's current
location.
More and more people are hearing the message that housing is
available for medical patients and their loved ones. Beacon House is
often a determining factor that helps a patient to decide to utilize the
medical facilities in the Marquette area rather than go to another
hospital outside the Upper Peninsula that doesn't offer similar housing.

Parkila
determined to rebuild after explosion
John Parkila has
spent a long winter recovering from burns he suffered when his Alston
home blew up on Nov. 11, 2007. The propane explosion destroyed the home,
but it couldn’t stop Parkila’s determination to start again.
With the first hints of snow melt, Parkila is out at his Alston
Cemetery Road property taking down the remains of his home. Parkila is
living with his brother, Ron, and his wife, June Parkila. He’s still
facing the pain and rigors of constantly stretching the skin on his
hands following skin graphs.
“He’s got a guardian angel!” June Parkila said. “The explosion blew
the roof off, turned it askew and then it came back down. It blew one
wall totally out, and that’s how he was able to get out.”
