road saga

Hi all,

Just wanted to invite everyone to our first hearing thursday, may 5, 2010, at 4:30pm at the Leelanau County courthouse, located on M-204 just west of Suttons Bay. This hearing will be a request to Judge Power to sign a temporary restraining order against the Leelanau County Road Commission. Once this is signed by the judge, the road commission will have to replace the signs they took down (the Dead End, Road Ends and No Outlet signs ) and we will then be able to put our gates back up and thus protect our property and the raptors. Today we had increased numbers of cars driving thru here, the latest one was at 9pm tonight when a white 4-door car raced thru here quite fast. I continue to fear for the safety of my raptors especially now that we have a new baby orphaned great horned owl being fostered by our ambassador owl, Sage. The cars zipping past her flight pen cause great stress. For those of you living in Leelanau County, just know that some of your tax dollars were spent today,

by the road commission, blading and widening Beeman Road, a seasonal unmaintained 2-track that basically goes no where. The Road commissioners bladed this road way past what the legal description states for this seasonal road, ending quite close to our south land border.

Please consider joining us at the Leelanau County Courthouse, tomorrow, may 6th at 4:30pm and show your support for the raptors and for Wings of Wonder. Thanks to you all!!!!!
