Re: Disgusting

Thank you for your post and thanks for your son's service and sacrifice for our country. And thank you for your service and sacrifice. When a loved one serves, you all serve and I know that service is hardest on the ones who stay at home praying to never get our knock at the door. Something this Pre...

Re: Disgusting

That day has sadly come, maybe 3 1/2 years ago. As a Beaver Island AmVet who volunteered while in college during the Vietnam war, not a loser or a sucker or claiming bone spurs. While in the service I proudly served on the Notification Detail. We would pull up to a house in a Army car, in full dress...

Re: Reminiscing

Bud and Barb were dear friends and good people. Endured a lot of tragedy but always remained positive. I know the swing, PBR's and good conversation very well and miss it all. The 4th of July at their house to watch the parade was a highlight of the summer. Thinking of them today and always.

Re: BITA Open Meeting July 14th. Keep The Boat Running.

In corresponding directly with BITA this is my understanding of what happened as of this time. When setting up the teleconference with the provider, BITA was never informed that there would be a second level code required and therefore posted the only code they were provided. Knowing that the public...

The Scales Tilt Both Ways

Just to assure Sour grapes that the scales tilt both ways. When a board does an excellent job as in the case of St. James and Peaine Townships, I do not hesitate to publicly praise them as I did on this Forum (Townships Caught During The Pandemic). The same is true when BITA posted the boat mask pol...
