Re: [MBZ] FW: Spring Pond Beavers
I looked at this with my usual email skepticism and went to snopes.com the urban legend investigations page, to have them run the history check on this and to my shock it is true! read more about it here: http://www.snopes.com/humor/letters/dammed.htm George Mason Luther Gulseth wrote: Subject: Spring Pond Beavers This is an actual letter sent to a man named Ryan DeVries by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, State of Michigan. This guy's response is hilarious, but read the State's letter before you get to the response letter. SUBJECT: DEQ File No.97-59-0023; T11N; R10W, Sec. 20; Montcalm County Dear Mr. DeVries: It has come to the attention of the Department of Environmental Quality that there has been recent unauthorized activity on the above referenced parcel of property. You have been certified as the legal landowner and/or contractor who did the following unauthorized activity: Construction and maintenance of two wood debris dams across the outlet stream of Spring Pond. A permit must be issued prior to the start of this type of activity. A review of the Department's files shows that no permits have been issued. Therefore, the Department has determined that this activity is in violation of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, annotated. The Department has been informed that one or both of the dams partially failed during a recent rain event, causing debris and flooding at downstream locations. We find that dams of this nature are inherently hazardous and cannot be permitted. The Department therefore orders you to cease and desist all activities at this location, and to restore the stream to a free-flow condition by removing all wood and brush forming the dams from the stream channel. All restoration work shall be completed no later than January 31, 2003. Please notify this office when the restoration has been completed so that a follow-up site inspection may be scheduled by our staff. Failure to comply with this request or any further unauthorized activity on the site may result in this case being referred for elevated enforcement action. We anticipate and would appreciate your full cooperation in this matter. Please feel free to contact me at this office if you have any questions. Sincerely, David L. Price District Representative Land and Water Management Division ** This is the actual response sent back: ** Dear Mr. Price, Re: DEQ File No. 97-59-0023; T11N; R10W, Sec. 20; Montcalm County. Your certified letter dated 12/17/02 has been handed to me to respond to. I am the legal landowner but not the Contractor at 2088 Dagget, Pierson, Michigan. A couple of beavers are in the (State unauthorized) process of constructing and maintaining two wood debris dams across the outlet stream of my Spring Pond. While I did not pay for, authorize, nor supervise their dam project, I think they would be highly offended that you call their skillful use of natures building materials debris. I would like to challenge your department to attempt to emulate their dam project any time and/or any place you choose. I believe I can safely state there is no way you could ever match their dam skills, their dam resourcefulness, their dam ingenuity, their dam persistence, their dam determination and/or their dam work ethic. As to your request, I do not think the beavers are aware that they must first fill out a dam permit prior to the start of this type of dam activity. My first dam question to you is: (1) Are you trying to discriminate against my Spring Pond Beavers or (2) do you require all beavers throughout this State to conform to said dam request? If you are not discriminating against these particular beavers, through the Freedom of Information Act, I request completed copies of all those other applicable beaver dam permits that have been issued. Perhaps we will see if there really is a dam violation of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, annotated. I have several concerns. My first concern is-aren't the beavers entitled to legal representation? The Spring Pond Beavers are financially destitute and are unable to pay for said representation-so the State will have to provide them with a dam lawyer. The Department's dam concern that either one or both of the dams failed during a recent rain event causing flooding is proof that this is a natural occurrence, which the Department is required to protect. In other words, we should leave the Spring Pond Beavers alone rather than harassing them and calling their dam names. If you want the stream restored to a dam free-flow condition please contact the beavers-but if you are going to arrest them, they
Re: [MBZ] Sad Death
I have not replied to this thread because it seems to have nothing to do with MB. But Now I must speak. Lets not drag the Masons into a discussion where they don't belong. I am a Mason and have been one for 20 years. When I was a young man (14) I fell and broke my hip. I was sent to the Shriners Hospitals for crippled children (All Shriners are Masons) they took care of me and would not except a penny in return. I have seen no evidence of devil worship or cult like issues in them at all ever. (And I have taken the time to really look for it) If I don't pay my dues ($50) I get suspended from the lodge, I see no cults having that policy. George Washington and most of the sons of liberty were Masons as well as 13 signers of the declaration of independence. It was good enough from George Washington and I am pretty sure he would not join a cult. If a cult helps poor crippled kids walk for no charge,provide defibulators to our local schools, Sponsor the local DARE program, Help locate missing children with their child ID program, take care of widows and orphans, and dole out 80 million a year to charity in PA alone, Never asking for an ounce of credit, then I will sign up for it any day. I have been a business owner and A mason for a long time. Some businesses failed others did better, but I don't think I can park the failure of my business at the door of the Masons. George T.

Re: [MBZ] Sad Death
Not that I am condoning the acts you speak of, but In the 1700s in Virginia slavery was perfectly acceptable and fit into the social norms of the time. As far as the adultery went they were pretty commonplace then as they are now. VD is another matter and where it came from, but what I have read was pretty common as well. I have neither heard noe seen evidence of this for George Washington. I have on Jefferson, who to my knowledge was not a Mason. George Mason Richard Smith wrote: George Washington committed *adultery* with his *slaves* and died of complications from *VD*. That does not sound to moral or responsible to me.
