Beaver Island Michigan

Well said K.D. Here is a post from the Navy. I know the source is reliable. A Naval Officer and Doctor showed this to me today. Seems the Navy is taking a step back. I also know that an Army base has had a big surge in numbers as well. It feels like this may be the calm before the storm. I hope we a...

FREE picture window. We are on Lake G. There are two side windows as well, you will need to rebuild frames. 448-2408

Hermit, We do have a huge property tax issue in Michigan, and not much to show for it. Based on 2020 tax rates across the USA Michigan is ranked 8th in the USA for high property taxes, with a tax rate of 1.62% yet Beaver Island is ranked lower in State of Michigan when comparing all Counties. . Fun ...

John,

No Pollyanna here! My point is you lecture about choice...yet you forget you made a choice knowing the rules of taxation. No sense rehashing, we shall agree to disagree. Have a great night!

John, I appreciate your comments back. The part that got me going was your comment and almost entitlement that comes with on being part of the "94%" ers, as you call yourself. I find it offensive and in poor taste. I can assure you that as a tax payor, home owner and part time resident on ...

Has anyone seen the rocks that glow in black lights? Yupper rocks...I am not sure if they are this far south.

John, If you read my post I very clearly stated that my daughter did not attend BI schools, nor has she ever. I also stated that I understand as all schools, there are issues. IMO Jeff's post had merit, which I also stated in past post. The part of Jeff's post I opposed was his stating that online l...

Jeff,

I happen to think the kids and teachers that are aleady there are exceptional.

Mike, Your analysis does not work for BI Schools. BI school is the outlier when looking at statistics. The uniqueness of location, population, and climate alone would not be comparable to other districts in Michigan. The salaries and benefits are not out of line with other districts either. I encour...

Jeff, Online learning has its merits and place in education. This is article was written by someone who is promoting thier services. Basically a white paper to promote. AP classes have been around for years are are great SUPPLEMENT for the students who are looking for more than a traditional school ...

Anyone who pays taxes here should care how public dollars are spent. One thing the COVID crisis has done is shown us that online educational opportunities have become more prominent as almost all schools in America went to them. In many other rural areas across America highly skilled online educato...

After having to assist in Zoom schooling the past few months I say give them all raises, awards and paths of gold in heaven. I include lunch staff, custodians and support staff as well. I only have one left at home and she is relatively an easy kid. Having to feed her, clean up after her, keep track...

It is sad that people wont just stay in their home they are currently at and do their part to stop the spreading. I agree Jeff, going to grocery store is risky. The folks on BI have gotten it right. McDonoughs is so impressive with their service plan, as are other businesses on BI. We also would lov...

Lots of great ideas above! The diving is something we never considered, thanks for the suggestion! Some things we love to take vistitors to are: CMU offers some great programs in the summer. The "snake boards" by Miller's Marsh is always fun for the kids to see the snakes on the island. Th...

Again, my intent was not to start a war with you or cause you stress. I was unaware it was a sensitive issue. If you would like me to go away then please stop attacking me.
