Re: Beaver Island Historical Society Acquires the Northern Islander and Beaver Beacon

Hello Lori, Somehow my wife Elaine's 17 year editorship of NorthernIslander has been lost to history. When Cynthia summarized the history Elaine was left out and the same is true with this forum chat room post. I was saddened. Elaine and Jacque Lafreniere published the first 21th century issue of No...

Nice work Candice & Nick! =D>
It looks like the kids are natural snorkel divers. Be sure and visit the many shallow wrecks in the Beaver Archipelago. Many are great fun without scuba gear.

Re: Dalwhinnie's 1st Pop-Up Dinner

WOW! Those dishes get 5 stars in appearance and I’ll bet in taste. Very impressive. We have rented a home on Paradise Bay for the first two weeks in August. Will a “pop up” dinner be available. This looks fantastic! :D
Best wishes,

Re: God Bless the USA

Semper Fi Denny – Great new version of a wonderful song. Sadly in early 21st century America the line “God bless the USA” is in fact controversial for some. As of the current moment the election outcome suggests we will be hearing the song much less often on national TV. :(

Re: Perceived wisdom on coywolves/wolves on beaver Island?

The coyote / wolf expert on Beaver Island is Jeff Powers DVM. He made a cast in plaster of a footprint, several years ago, that was much too large for a coyote & not dog like. My wife and I took a photo of a large animal that based on measurements could have been a coyote / dog mix – published i...

Even the left wing Mother Jones understands that the number of cases are going UP and the death rate is going DOWN. In large measure because Docs are better at treating it.
