Port of St. James. Apparently there was burger and bread mixed up with orange powder poured over it. A dog got into it--but apparently didn't eat enough of it before it was noticed--and began to throw it up afterwards. This was VERY close to my house and I am afraid that whoever is putting it out ha...

I was just informed that someone on the island (or someones?) has decided to take it upon themselves to spread out poisonous meat to get rid of the coyotes. If this is true, I am very angry.

From what I understand, Terry Day contacted Direct TV about a job and has still not heard back. Hopefully they are just moving slowly with this and haven't decided to just forget about Beaver Island... If you threaten to discontinue your service, they WILL pay to fly over a tech person...although it...

Is anyone planning on making a trip to Traverse City soon? At Beth and Joddy's request, we are trying to get their ipod set up with music to send over to keep his spirits up--the problem is that we have no address to send it to! Please let us know (2702) if anyone will be going down for a visit OR i...

"The only reason I felt she could play is that there are usually not enough decent players to go around." Really? I don't like that statement. Thanks for your comment, Medic...I agree completely. It is discrimination no matter how people try to make it look as though they are in the right...

I guess I just assume that people that live here can easily figure that out. I also didn't think that names matter all that much. To me, it is more about getting the information across.

Sexism Alive and Well on Beaver Island

I am completely outraged by the outcome of the golf league's decision to not allow Marianne Brown (or any other woman qualified) to play. The vote was held this last Wednesday night, and although not all voting members were present (they were not informed of the voting date), Marianne was denied the...
