This is all so interesting.... and has gotten to the point where it is hard to believe any side of the story.... When it all started some odd years ago I remember being by farm Island and hearing a Rooster... No doubt to wake up the campers, and cause some grief....
But it has been drawn out into a soap Opera, and to be honest I can't quite figure out who owns farm Island.... Randy has made all this noise about it but I have also found that someone who I assume is a relative, Cody Owens professing to own the Island as well... But Honestly I don't care....
What I do care about is the fact, that a Property Owner, and a YMCA Camp directory, can't be adult enough to work through some differences. To my knowledge the camp has owned and used part of the Island for years... When the Owens family bought the rest of the Island they knew that full well, or at least should have known that full well.... Likewise the Camp should have known there was new ownership and not continued to use the island like the owned the entire Island.... While subdividing the Island may have been properly planed, there should have been a thought in the back of ones head that hey I am doing something that is likely not going to make people happy.... It wasn't just camp Belknap that had issues with the idea of subdividing the island. But instead of working through issues, both sides decided to start mud slinging.... and now many years later the mud is still flying...
At the end of the day, this chapter in the History of Farm Island is pretty sad. One Wonders what the Winchesters would have to say about this unsavory notoriety.....
