So lets look at the operating cost of Washington Island Vs. Beaver Island Ferry. Both have to load and unload. Washington Island 1 hour round trip. Beaver Island is a little over 4 hours round trip.

We just talked the other day about going to Beaver Island in 2020. It's been a few years since we've been there and with the addition of a son-in-law we thought it would be a nice family get a way. A quick look at the ferry website and a calculator put the cost of the ferry round trip at: $708 ( sti...

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I'm grateful that as two people go at each other, there's a third person that finds it necessary to rush in and inject themselves into the issue. Beaver Island is a better place because the self appointed hall monitor is on watch to right every wrong. Have a Great Than...

Sheriff with a snowplow in the morning. Dentist in the afternoon.....I think you're on to something. I know in Chicago they put snowplows on the garbage trucks. As long as the garbage truck is driving around picking up trash have them move the snow at the same time.

If those that love Beaver Island, both property owners and those of us that only visit each summer, saw true fiscal responsibility by the elected township officials, there wouldn't be a consolidation issue on the ballot and there would be more donations like the fire truck in 2004.
