An emergency call tower, utility box, and trash bin stand in sandy dunes beside a beach.

Caption as posted: "EMERGENCY CALL TOWER - Iron Ore Bay The south end of Beaver Island became safer for visitors and residents this past week following the installation of an emergency call tower at the Iron Ore Beach. The emergency call tower, (when the red button is pushed), automatically dials 911 and within 5-10 seconds connects to emergency dispatch through a secured phone line. Doug Tilly, Supervisor for Peaine Township, deserves special recognition for his perseverance with tackling the project.

A tall white emergency call tower stands in sandy dunes beside a beach, with a blue beacon on top and a red button panel near its base. A gray utility box on a wooden post and a black trash bin are beside it. Water, low vegetation, and a posted beach sign are visible in the background.

A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record

Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.

The record identifies this as an emergency call tower installed at Iron Ore Beach and credits the Beaver Island Association Facebook page. The post was published on June 3, 2022, and mentions Doug Tilly, Supervisor for Peaine Township.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The smaller beach sign and labels on the utility equipment are not fully legible.

Why this archive publishes it. Public Facebook groups and pages run by island organisations and residents. Each item credits the poster by name and links to the original post. Removal on request.

Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.

Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
