Looking for a few good trees. Doesn't need to be cut or split (happy if it is), but does need to be cured and delivered. Please call 448-2263. Thanks.

I have to go off island for a couple of days in July and am looking for someone to feed and look after my 40 pound, neutered male, very friendly dog. 703-623-8873. Thanks.

A male black lab appeared on my deck this morning on Eastside Drive near Hannigan's Road. He has a choke collar but no tag. If he's yours or know to whom he belongs, please call me. 448-2263

Point La Par is the point that forms the southern end of Sand Bay on the east side of the island. It is a few hundred yards south of the township campground. I have never heard of the petrified forest or seen an indication of same on my depth sounder.

Better yet, Alex, contact the Michigan DNR. Here's what they will tell you:

Your motorcycle is an ORV under Michigan law:

Public Act 451 of 1994, Part 811, Off Road Vehicles:

324.81101(m)
â??ORVâ?￾ or â??vehicleâ?￾ means a motor driven off-road recreation vehicle capable of cross-country travel without benefit of a road or trail, on or immediately over land, snow, ice, marsh, swampland, or other natural terrain. ORV or vehicle includes, but is not limited to, a multitrack or multiwheel drive vehicle, an ATV, a motorcycle or related 2-wheel, 3-wheel, or 4-wheel vehicle, an amphibious machine, a ground effect air cushion vehicle, or other means of transportation deriving motive power from a source other than muscle or wind. ORV or vehicle does not include a registered snowmobile, a farm vehicle being used for farming, a vehicle used for military, fire, emergency, or law enforcement purposes, a vehicle owned and operated by a utility company or an oil or gas company when performing maintenance on its facilities or on property over which it has an easement, a construction or logging vehicle used in performance of its common function, or a registered aircraft.


The DNR's ORV handbook states that in the LP, which includes Beaver Island, ORV's may be ridden only on designated trails, routes and scramble areas on state forest lands:

ORV Operation on State-Owned Lands
State Forest Lands

Areas generally administered by the Forest Mineral and Fire Management Division; boundaries are not normally marked.

* Upper Peninsula: ORV operation is permitted on designated trails and forest roads in the Upper Peninsula unless posted closed.
* Lower Peninsula: ORV operation is permitted on all designated trails, designated areas, and designated routes (forest roads that are posted as open) in the Lower Peninsula.
* Statewide: ORV use on designated trails is limited to vehicles 50 inches or less in width. Off-trail or off-route operation outside of a designated area is prohibited except for licensed hunters operating an ORV at speeds of 5 mph or less for the purpose of removing deer, bear, or elk.

Otherwise, you must stick to public roads traversable by a two-wheel drive automobile.

The DNR's number is: 517-373-1275.
