ST. CLAIR SHORES — The South Channel lights sit in Lake St. Clair, and it’s the mission of the Save Our South Channel Lights organization to preserve their history through restoration for generations to come. Kathy Brady, the group’s secretary, said Save Our South Channel Lights is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Charles Brockman. “Him and his wife were avid boaters that used to go out in Lake St. Clair, and often went by the lighthouses and saw how decrepit they were in the ’70s and ’80s,” Brady said. “And he said, ‘Somebody ought to do something about that.’” This prompted him to found the organization in 1988. The range lights were built in 1859 to allow sailors safe passage through Lake St. Clair, and they were decommissioned in 1905 when the government no longer had any use for them, Brady said. “They had actually dredged a new channel, at which point the border between Canada and the U.S. See LIGHTS on page 12A

We might grab a drink or a meal before heading back to the dock. While it’s always a fun outing, there’s so much more to
this Michigan gem than fudge, bicycles and horses. Most of the car-free island is a state park with miles of trails to hike and bike. It’s steeped in centuries of Native American, European and American history. And while Mackinac evokes images of being lost somewhere in time, there’s always something new to check out. New this season, for example, are: Patrick Doud’s Irish Pub, named after a contractor of Irish descent who helped build a number of important buildings on the island; the See MACKINAC on page 10A
