Re: Internet browsing security

Hi insecure Browsers, I use brave too. You have to remember to drop shields or configure it to allow java on your https sites like online biil pay, but over all No Ads. You can combine it with the Startpage search engine for even more privacy. Tor browser also works well. It is a bit slower, but mor...

Re: Brine On Roads 2.0

Hi All, Get out your calculators after your view this link: http://www.mnltap.umn.edu/opera/projects/2013/documents/silvercreek.pdf If it costs the twp $55,000 per year just for brine, we could put the savings toward this method of road surfacing.

Re: Brine for Roads

Hi all, As a regular walker of East Side Drive (since the beach has all but disappeared in some spots) I would remind all daily drivers to be aware and courteous to pedestrians. PLEASE SLOW DOWN!!!. I have been literally left in the dust by folks who speed by. If you see a walker in the distance slo...

Re: Tell Me It Isn't So?

Hello again all, As per my previous post, I spoke with one of the township officials, and am satisfied that they are trying to carefully negotiate a murky situation. A fence would not be their first choice either, but would act as a viable deterrent for the time being. Please approach them with your...

Re: Tell Me It Isn't So?

Hello to all, I believe the problem here is lack of communication. I am not trying to stir any pot, there is no underlying agenda or ax grinding. I am definitely not trying to aggravate or accuse anyone of anything. The decision to purchasing chain link fencing to solve the problem of boat storage a...

Re: Tell Me It Isn't So?

Top of the morning to you all, Thanks to Joe Moore and others for the links to the minutes and agendas. Still do not see the word "fencing" mentioned in the agenda for July 11th. As one of those who finds the the forum useful for community information, I would like to ask for a return to s...

Re: Tell Me It Isn't So?

Hello Dashwoode,
Just to clarify, my name is Patrick Bonadeo. I am NOT the BI Pirate (although I am envious of his sabre wit and that fancy eye patch and plumed hat, not so much the peg leg!) Just the facts Ma'am. Still mystified as to the intent of the hypocrisy meter.

Re: Tell Me It Isn't So?

Hello islanders again, First, I am in need of clarification as to the meaning of the hypocrisy meter. Second, Nowhere on the Peaine Township site do I see a an agenda for upcoming meetings posted.

Re: Tell Me It Isn't So?

Hello Islanders, In an effort to direct this thread back to the original topic, I would like to suggest the following: 1) Who actually needs this fence? The township or the property owner? If the owner, is it not their responsibility to erect it? Township funds could be better utilized in other effo...

Re: Fox Lake and Lake Geneserath – public access sites

Hello Shipwrecked Islanders, Since "storage" has been in the public domain at Lake Geneserath and the other lakes since time immemorial, perhaps other alternatives could be considered for those who do not own a trailer. Transporting a boat 12 plus miles to and from the lake late at night o...
