It's a shame…………the website and all it's contents are a fabrication of someone's demented sense of "right"……The steps in front of cottage 8 have been repaired……yet the repaired steps do not appear anywhere on the site…Very curious…Seems self-serving to me…

Dear Mr. Johnston:

Thank you for your response to our website at Heal The Harbor. As noted, we sent a representative to inspect the steps in front of your cottage #8 on Hen Island. The inspector informed us that although a rope handrail with wooden posts had recently been installed, the railing did not meet code for a number of reasons. Additionally, the actual stairs are rusted and rotting along the main stringers. Many of the risers are also rusted through or missing, as a result of age and decay. (This compromises the integrity of the stairs.) It was his recommendation that the stairs in question be replaced or removed to avoid injury to users.

We thank you for you response and encourage you to spread the word to other homeowners on the island, encouraging their involvement and concern to bring Hen Island in compliance with all the health and safety violations present today.

Thanking you in advance,
