A lot of good discussion about Charlevoix's plans for a new terminal that will obviously increase costs for everyone. No one has mentioned that the same plans (new terminal etc) is in the works for the Beaver Island airport. The Beacon had published information several months ago and it did not pro...

You might call Sandy at Fresh Air Aviation, 448-2089. She knows a lot of cats and might take it if no one claims it.
