Beaver Island Michigan

Carol, There is alot of "talk" but looking back at the topics I don't see much solid information. Seems you have an inside scoop and are in conversation with the petitioners. Angel and John posted this on the forum but have not answered any questions or put out any solid facts. Lots of opi...

Carol, Here is a post from you a few threads back... That petition has everyones ear and (taxpayers) want to be heard and respected. You think BI Pirates thread was encouraging people having a voice and being respected? Next time you choose to lecture me about my contents make sure you review yours....

Carol

Glad to see you see humor in BI pirates antics. Attempts at poking fun to silence people is not funny. So let's get back on topic...when and where are the facts?

Thanks Captain obvious!! O wait tree hugger. I have never pretended to be a voter...I am a tax payor, are you? Your fake friends that hide behind stupid names? You don't attempt to silence them. The future of this island impacts me, my family and our home. You would think in your 1000 yr walk on BI ...

Thanks for the love ...but no thanks. Unlike you I don't have the luxury of changing my opinion because I don't know who you are...or do I?

You started this road show my dear...and chose to single out only the few asking questions. No dumping here...save your Wellies for your own BS, you need them.

So unless you have lived on island 1000 years you have no voice? The reason people don't post here is because they are afraid of the verbal attacks. Your attempts at silencing anyone with an opinion outside of yours is pathetic at best. I am a tax payer and have skin in the game. I have a right to a...

Depending on date, Abbey will take it. She is 11.

Very brave of you to hide behind a fake name. Just another attempt to cloud the issues. How interesting the others who speak on this topic that want consolidation are not mentioned and picked at. Asking for facts is not asking too much. The ironic thing is that most know who the pirate is..and most ...

Nancy, Thank you for your comments. It is nice to see others on the forum have concerns, opinions and not be afraid to voice them. It would be amazing if we could see side by side FACTS about the consequences of a consolidation. Everyone has good intentions, but even good intentions are not enough. ...

So many wonderful post! Summer needs to get here soon!! I am homesick for BI!! Pirate...thanks for the info. Yes, I was painfully aware of the poison ivy! I was referring more to the animals. I was not aware of spiders. We had been told none on island. I will be more careful in the wood pile!

Tania, Bob and Ed are right! BI and the people here are wonderful. We came to island 8 years ago and felt a termendous peace the first time we walked off boat. As far as the negative on the forum, keep in mind many of them are not "real people" and hide behind fake names. It is unfortunate...

Joe, This is from Angel back when she announced this plan on forum. I understand your point, and you emphasized that nothing can change until Dec 2019, but looking at Angels dates they do not match yours. Am I misunderstanding something? This is the part that is scary...there is a lot of information...

Darby, Good point! It would be difficult for the fake people who hide behind fake names and people who bad mouth the island and claim they don't come here anymore to be greeters. Covers would be blown!! Always same wagon circling... I would imagine looking the people they bad mouth, accuse, and twis...

Is there a service on the island that checks on homes through the winter? If so please PM me. We would be interested in this type of service through the year when we are gone for a period of time.

Thanks!

Kraig, You seem to take great pleasures in attempting to belittle others. You have spent alot of time bragging about what you feel are great accomplishments above. I congratulate you. I can see Andy's point. By your own omission you clearly show you have no use for the island. I think Andys question...
