Beaver Island Michigan

I have no idea who Eric Ellis is but, all I know is what he wrote is exactly what all the wildlife biologists for the Ruffed Grouse Society and the many other wildlife agencies advocate. Mr. Ellis, very well written! I think if people can understand that having a diverse forest makes for a healthy f...

Thanks, Al - you are exactly right. The future is ours and we all need to take charge if it to shape it into what we want it to be. March 6th can be the start. Furthermore, the DNRE is working to improve their stewardship of Michigan. I don't agree with many of the things they have done / failed to...

OK, Edgar, you have lots of "information" but you are unknown and are throwing spitballs however small. I note as a moderator where your messages originate and would rather not gong you but you should either identify yourself or delete your posts. Fair is fair. Not trying to hide anything...

Not sure if this has been covered yet or not but, will it be available to people down at Bonners Landing?

Boy, it sure would make my life easier.

Obviously I am biased to this topic. Jared is my brother Gavin and Todd are my cousins. That being said, facts are facts and I haven't heard anyone dispute that the Island is in need of habitat management. I work on the Board of Directors for the Lakeshore Chapter of the Ruffed Grouse Society and un...

60+ hrs/wk: been there, done that countless nights away from family: been there, done that too government spending: thatâ??s why we give them the money those who donâ??t contribute: liberals actually believe in helping those unable to help themselves; compassion without conservatism. higher taxes: ...

I will respond to all who like to personally attack me. First of all this is a political discussion. Is the aforementioned city councilman a Republican? If so, I would ask all Republicans to primary him out of office. Second, I am not a Republican, I am a conservative. Third, Frank when is the last ...

I emailed the following to the mayor and city manager of Charlevoix this evening: Having been a full time Beaver Island resident for the past two decades, I'm sure there were times when I wanted to take the boat to the mainland in February just to visit other towns in my county. However, as I'm sur...

Dear Mr City Manager Strabel, I am writing you to ask that you reconsider your Travel Tax for residents and tourists of Beaver Island. In this tough economy it is unfair to place a tax on people who need this service to get transportation for healthcare, job interviews and basic goods and services t...

I do understand I have been coming to the island for 35 years. Yes, it was partisan and it was meant to prove a point beyond just what they are doing here at a local level. I was trying to get people to think outside of their own little world and see what people are facing across this nation. Now ba...

While I whole heartedly agree with everyones condemnation of the abuses of the Charlevoix City council, I also find it amusing. Many people who seem so upset about this voted for people who are planning on doing the same thing to many of us across the country. This tax is a tax on the rich. That's w...
