Same old

There's that old complaint showing up again and I still gotta laugh about it. But it does have a new twist. It seems some have to make a comment on every thread and often their comment is about a totally different thread altogether. It's like a compulsion or a know-it-all entitlement and what's funn...

I hope that finding a resident elector of the Township that is not an elected or appointed Township officer, or an employee is not too difficult in itself, but maybe somebody will step up.
Are fireman, EMTs, school employees, Election Commissions, or Board of Review members eligible?
Good luck!

Many people have done maple syrup for themselves, but I can recall only one that has produced enough for sale to the public. My own efforts over the tears have had mixed quality results. In my opinion Beaver Island trees can produce good quality and there is never enough produced. There's always the...

Micro Homes

Forget Port St. James as a location for micro homes. It is just a little too far for convenient everyday walking distance to town. The Karnes development would be an ideal location; very close, underground power, flexible zoning district (which still would have to be amended for size), room for larg...

Why?

It is true I am giving in to impulse, but I must ask why. Why are the State Police here? Who invited them this time? And where is this crimewave?

Hours open?

On Barneys Lake rd there is what seems to be a junk yard, but there is nobody there. I would like to know if this an extension of the transfer station, what hours and what metals do they accept. And does it cost anything?

Both ways is best

Life on Beaver Island is best when you have it both ways. All the modern conveniences, gadgets, tools and toys, but step out your door and it's wild, man, wild. While hiking at night I've been known to carry an old baseball bat. Coyotes know better than to mess with humans, but I hear them and I'm r...

A Pea's Fate (or connotation unintended)

Long winters lead to unusual thoughts or ideas, and some words, no matter what the context, seem to never lose their connotations. I apologize... Have you ever wondered, while cleaning dishes, pots and pans, or while scraping them into a compost bin, about the lives or fates of the morsels of rice, ...

February 29th birthdays

Happy Birthday to all leap year babies! Do you know anyone born this day? I have known only one; an older sister of a childhood friend. Jack Lousma, astronaut, from Grand Rapids, and the ex-congressman from MI, Bart Stupak are leapers. Know anybody?
