A TERRORIST ACT AGAINST NATURE As of today, the MDNR has not yet rolled in the bulldozers to commit their act of terrorism on the east end of Deer Lake. So, we wait hoping some miracle will prevent this horrible act from occurring! Don Snitgen, 9/26/01

REALLY NEW STUFF

PUBLIC HEARING The Public Hearing at the Deerton School, June 19, went extremely well. There were over 50 persons in attendance and most of them were against the boat launch, as planned by the MDNR. And, most of the persons who made comments support our Alternative Plan (Click here to see a comparison between the MDNR Plan and our Alternative Plan). A HEARTFELT THANKYOU TO ALL YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO HAVE SENT LETTERS AND/OR ATTENDED THE PUBLIC HEARING!

AND, THE FIGHT CONTINUES It is imperative that we keep reminding the folks at the MDNR that we do not want the monstrosity they plan to build. We need to remind them that there is a viable alternative that would provide boating access while conserving the environmental integrity of the east end of Deer Lake. Write to: Gary Ellenwood District Supervisor/DNR Parks & Recreation Division Route 4, P.O. Box 796 Newberry, MI 49868 Mr. Ellenwood is the MDNR person in charge of the proposed boat launch construction project.   Write to the Marquette Regional office of the MDNR: Mr. Jim Ekdahl Deputy U.P. Field Deputy, MDNR 1990 U.S. 41 South, Marquette, MI 49855 Mr. Ekdahl is Mr. Ellenwood's boss, and hence, is also in charge of the project.

"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even tacitly take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machines will be prevented from working at all." Mario Savio 1942 - 1996
