May 17, 2009 - Breaking News! The Purchase of Camp Friedenswald by Cressy & Everett has fallen through!!
Well, first off, the good news is this story wasn't true at all- the Camp was never for sale, and (Hopefully) never will be! It was only an "April Fools" satire. However, I've been made aware that several residents of our community didn't realize that the story was just an "April Fool's" satire, and have called the Camp, as well as the Township expressing their concern over it..
Without going into everything that was "untrue" in the article that was posted on April 1st, I'll just say that the only "true statement" in the article is the fact those homeowners in the community who are non-residents (second homes), as well as our local businesses, pay almost double the amount of property taxes than a full-time resident does. These taxes go towards funding our respective public school systems, which their children will never attend. In addition, these homeowners do not have the right to vote on issues affecting our community. This, in my not so humble opinion, is totally unfair, and is "a joke". There has to be a better way to fund our public schools. The recent May vote to increase the millage for our schools passed for the Cassopolis shool district, (Cassopolis mailing address), but was defeated for the Constantine school district (Vandalia mailing address)..
Although I meant absolutely no harm in writing the April Fool's article, I do want to apologize to our friends at Camp Friedenswald, and to any of their constituents, neighbors, and friends for any inconvenience and undue stress the article caused. I know I speak for many when I say how much we appreciate the ministry the Camp provides to not only all of those who attend the Camps' programs and events, but also the ministry and support you provide to not only our Shavehead Lake community, but the surrounding community as well.
