Boat Parade
We are having a boat parade again this year. It will be at dusk on the 4th of July before the fireworks. Just grab your Christmas lights and decorate your boat. You’ll need an “inverter” that you can clip to your battery on your boat or bring an extra charged battery. An inverter changes the direct ...

Re: Remembering Buck
Buck and Mary Ann invited me to come to Florida each winter to stay with them. Buck and I would golf each day,meet Mary at the Clubhouse for lunch , then go back to golfing.

Re: Beaver Island -- One Island, One Community, One Township
Mostly scar tactics Richie. Nothing substantive. If you're ashamed of me for trying to protect Peaine township then you're misguided. Together the two townships have accomplished much. Nothing to be gained by consolidation but a few dollars. Historically , Peaine township was established in 1847. St...

Re: FOR A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP
Well said Bob. that is all useful and important information. I admit that two townships can be awkward but I see no evidence that the two are slowing us down. Either township is free to push your good ideas. I do think it's dangerous , however to put all the control with one board. A strong, anti de...

Re: AGAINST A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP
Hi Pam, I'd be happy to talk to you about any and all issues regarding the governance of the Island. But I'm a bit perplexed. You say you have a long list of things that have not been accomplished over the years but Bill has only been supervisor for about 2 years . So did the previous supervisors dr...

Re: AGAINST A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP
Mr. Bakker, Bill's a good guy. I've been in to see him every week at his regular office hours. It's fairly obvious that the majority of voters in Peaine Township want to preserve their township. If so, isn't Bill just doing his job? Also I try to get in to see Kitty at least once a week. Was at her ...

Re: AGAINST A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP
As long as we're posting stories such as : "A family called to a table" here's one I think is appropriate. Two neighbors were living side by side with a fence between them.One neighbor has much more money than the other and has a fabulous garden. The rich neighbor has everything including ...

Whoops, Richie, Please switch my post to the Against Consolidation. I was responding to the letter on the Pro side and got in the wrong place. Sorry.

Re: If I were a stranger
Thank you for that Lois. So true. I fought with my brothers when we were growing up but would immediately come to their defense if I thought they were even slightly threatened. Loved them then, love them now. Sisters too.

Re: Unknown Website
Productive posts from Jeff, Vince, and Rachael. Thank you very much. All good people running their own businesses with employees . It’s these type of businesses that provide 75% of the jobs in this country. Their advice is welcome and certainly in the best interest of the Island.
