I will give you a 100% guarantee that if there is a merger of townships, which I support, Peaine Township will not absorb one penny of Port of St. James debt if any. Township merger is important but not a subject of this thread.

Andy -
A point on which we do agree! I apologize and will try to get my points across with less offensive language. Let's all hope it is not the new American way. Thanks for posting and keeping me honest as well as on point.

At the pig roast this week I had a women, friend, ask me why I objected to the HC's letter regarding Dr. White. She thought it should not be offensive to Dr. White because it was addressed to her attorney, Mr. Widmayer. I clarified for her as best I could that I did not have a problem with the lette...

What a nice evening last night with the opportunity to meet and socially interact with inhabitants, supporters and lovers of other islands. Congratulations to all those who worked hard to put the Islands Summit and Pig Roast together. From all I heard it was a great event and great start for synergy...

Jeff Powers previously posted: "There must be increased efforts to make the public institutions on Beaver Island more accountable to the taxpayers who which they serve." I believe this is the purpose of this thread on the forum and its 8,000+ views indicates the interest out there. I hope ...

Nepotism has never be a part of Beaver Island's lexicon.

You gotta love Washington Island at the end to the Door. They know how to welcome tourist. Went there a few years ago and still get e-mails promoting the Door and WI. When I was there it was to visit their medical center and their approach to HC on a remote island which was very refreshing. Also met...

Tracey - I'm confused in reading your earlier post (Monday, Sept 18, 2:51pm) combined with all your recent posts. You stated, "And as I have seen these diatribes go on without any real resolution, this is my last post. Oh.....this is Tracey" You have continued to make several posts? Sounds...

I know that the president of the HC board always wants the board to be unanimous on all decisions. That's not the purpose of a board. There should be diversity of opinions and at times dissension to come up with the best guiding decisions that are a board's responsibility. By definition, wanting eve...

I am sure that one of the reasons the BIRHC offered $1 for all of Dr. White's equipment stems from the fact that the agreement signed by both townships (Vyse/Works) states that in order for the BIRHC to receive tax dollars from the townships, they are required to provide space and services of a dent...

Tracey - Fast or slowly, slander or libel, we don't need to debate trivia. I didn't assume or imply in my post that I had all the facts nor would I or do I. On the contrary I stated that there are three sides to any heated discussion, mine, yours and the truth. I hope I encouraged the BIRHC to state...

The $1 offer was a personal affront to Dr. White by the board, simply adding insult to injury.

Tracey or John - Not all of the usual suspects have logged on yet but here comes one more. There are three sides to any controversial issue that is being discussed. Connie's and the board's side would be most welcome here to clarify what those posting may not understand. I think I speak for everyone...
