Re: FOR A CONSOLIDATED BEAVER ISLAND TOWNSHIP

Thank You Bob! This is the kind of response the issue requires. Interesting about the consolidation being a priority of both townships. The comparison with Melrose helps develop perspective.
Yours,

Re: The 3rd category: In a consolidation quandary

Richie, Please don’t get me wrong. I’m all for progress, but the devil is in the details and I just want to clarify what will be required when and if the proposal passes. I guess I am looking for an affirmation of awareness and commitment from all involved parties so that in the event we are tasked ...

Re: The 3rd category: In a consolidation quandary

YAQ,YAQ,YAQ (Yet Another Question) As I yet again look over the statements, opinions and posted pages, it strikes me that clarity in niggling small things is lacking. Fear of the unknown begets hesitation and resistance. For example, concerning the consolidation committee, similar to the comptroller...

Re: The 3rd category: In a consolidation quandary

Ritchie and Bill, Thank you both for your endeavors in response to my questions. Obviously, as I stated before, this is a complex and convoluted decision. I wouldn't expect any one person to have definitive answers. I would hope for a variety of viewpoints and unique observations. Experts, experienc...

The 3rd category: In a consolidation quandary

Hello Fellow Islanders, The proposed township consolidation vote is an important decision for our communities. It is also, in my mind, a complicated and confusing issue. As a property owner in both townships, I would like to have my questions about the pros and cons addressed in a non threatening, c...

Re: TDS ouch

Thanks Ritchie, unless they did some upgrades, my cottage seems to be in a cellular black hole. FYI I just did some horse trading with TDS and got this quote: Data Service $34.95 Mach - 36 Month Promo Non-HCA $34.95 Voice Service $27.05 Federal Subscriber Line Charge $6.50 Phone Line - Unlimited Loc...

TDS ouch

Hi Islanders, I am hooking up my annual phone and internet, and am appalled at the $90+/month costs through TDS. Any viable/reliable/cheaper alternatives? Year before last $60, last year $78. Any suggestions to get a better rate from TDS? My cell service was non existent on Sand Bay last year, so no...

Hi Pam,
I'd be glad to take a look at it. I am at the Community center from 10-12 on Tuesdays. Had to miss last week due to a downstate wedding. Please tell me the make model and year.
Thanks

Johnny Martin trail

Hi Hikers,
We attempted the Johnny Martin trail yesterday and it was VERY wet. We gave up halfway after we lost the red dot markers. It would be great to have a cross island trail. Any plans to fix it?

A cut above again

Hi, Ok, so 270 people read this and no one knows of anyone on the Island who can do this with a bandsaw? Just checking. Mike Hurkmans did a great job for me the last time, but he has moved. I'm trying to find someone who is able to accurately band saw 20' redwood 2x6's vertically into 3/4" tong...
