Their plans include the ability to modify the environment including temperature of each of the proposed twelve tanks to be installed there, each with its own individual heat pump. This will make this research facility unique in the State of Michigan. Here is the newsletter that they passed out at the meeting, so you can read more about it.

Beaver Island has two flight services, and neither of them are currently certified or licensed to transport emergency patients from Beaver Island to the mainland. We thank the crews of the USCG helicopters for coming to do medical evacuations. We thank the flight services that have helped us get patients to the mainland for the last seven years and before. We thank Northflight for providing this service as well.
While a lot of things have changed over the last 7 years including a new school, a new executive director of EMS, new township supervisors,and new rural health center board members, there is one thing that has not changed.
When Phillip Michael Moore made this video as a Master's degree project, no one would have guessed that seven years later Beaver Island would still not have achieved this goal.
Please take the time to view the video. Please take some time to think about this, and then start asking some questions about how this can be resolved.
This Feasibility Study was completed by Michael Slattery, an FAA consultant hired by BIEMS. The purpose of the study was to determine the possbility of having a fixed wing air medical transport service for Beaver Island medical emergencies.
The Human Services Commission of Peaine and St. James townships has put together a resource manual--a guide to services available to all residents of Beaver Island. A copy of this resource manual appears below. Printed copies will soon be available at a number of locations, including the medical center and the library. Other locations will be announces later. Many thanks to Joan Vyse and Judi Meister for coordinating the information in the manual.

A collection of historical Beaver Island News on the 'Net pages beginning in 2000 and continuing up to December 2010. Since Phyllis Moore started this web site in 1999, the archives have been maintained except for one short period of time which is lost forever. Read the last decade of the history of Beaver Island and look through ten years of pictures, look at the video clips as the web site expanded, and remember those things that make the Island the special place that it is.
