Beaver Island Michigan

In recent months or even years there have been many things that have occurred that I would like to see feedback on. The range is huge, from the actions of the Egg Lake Seven, the devisive and illegal action of the Peaine Township Planning Commission combined with the pitiful actions of very selfish property owners who only recognize themselves and not the rights of others over something so simple as a property owners right to mine gravel (or in laymens terms, dig a hole on their property), to the potential institution of environmental "overlays" on property whether a home exists on that property or not to issues no matter what they may be from garbage collection to transportation, from dusty roads to pavement, whatever it may be, let's put this thing in gear and get it out and get it right. Just remember, the Constitution of the United States of America is what made this country the most progressive and powerful nation in the history of the world. As a sometimes moderator in this forum, my postition will follow constitutional ideals and not "what's best for me" ideals. Never in my life have I ever looked over the fence and said, "I think Mr. ----- should do this or that", I was taught that you lived on your property and did unto your neighbor as you would do to them. So............... let's begin, anyone care to pick the first topic??

PLEASE EXCUSE MY IGNORANCE OF THE ISLAND'S IN'S AND OUTS. WHO OR WHAT IS THE EGG LAKE SEVEN AND SINCE WHEN IS IT WRONG TO DIG A HOLE ON YOUR OWN LAND? COLOR ME CONFUSED IN GRAND RAPIDS

Bernie, the Egg Lake Seven is an omelet. As far as the rest of it goes, I'm with you. I think Richard needs to provide a little background. Holes? They're things you can't get out of, whether you own them or not.

Rich,

Do you really mean "DID UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD DO UNTO THEM?
Let's do unto others as we would have them do unto us.

I think the Booze is talking.

So your sure it was me Posting above. I get accused of alot :}

Haven't we already been over this stuff last year on this forum? Someone wasn't given a permit to dig gravel, other property owners didn't want it there, etc. If you want to hash it out, tell the whole story or leave it lie. And don't those other land owners have rights too?

I haven't been to the island for many many years. I found this forum awhile back. My favorite place to go when I would get off the boat was Dick LaFreniere's store. I was told awhile back that it isn't there anymore. Does anyone know what happen?

The old store is being renovated.

I heard a gravel pit is going there. I feel sorry for the old timers that come back home and some of the land marks are gone. You can see it there eyes.
