Stop trail extension

Stop trail extension

To the editor: The TART group, which is not even based in Leelanau County, is out of control with its overreaching attempt to add another segment to the Sleeping Bear National Park bike trail. The proposed amount of money spent is irresponsible for the amount of use the trail gets during the year. 09/04/2024 03:50 PM

Vote as an American

Vote as an American

To the editor: If Kamala Harris were the “Republican Woman of the Year” I would not vote for her. Should the Republicans ever nominate such an unqualified candidate I would laugh at them. 09/04/2024 03:50 PM

Wessell ‘diligent advocate’

Wessell ‘diligent advocate’

To the editor: We’re writing in support of Leelanau County 4th District Commissioner candidate Ty Wessell. Ty has been a diligent advocate for our district and serves as the commission Chair. 09/04/2024 03:50 PM

To reap what is sown

To all those that welcome the cooler and slower months — this is my annual announcement that we have finally made it to September! Truly my favorite time of year, I can’t wait for the fall colors and temperatures to come around. I’ve already observed so many trees in the region changing from deep greens to orange and red shades, especially along roadsides and different hiking trails. 09/04/2024 03:50 PM

Here’s to a successful school year

Here’s to a successful school year

As summer fades and the crispness of autumn begins to settle over Leelanau County, the return to school is upon us. For students, parents, and educators alike, this time of year is both exciting and filled with promise. 09/04/2024 03:50 PM

Thank you

To the editor: We were very proud of our township supervisor, Tim Stein, and the members of our Cleveland Twp. Board, when they stood up to the NPS and the SBDNL at their August meeting on the proposed Segment 9 of the Heritage Trail. 09/04/2024 03:50 PM

Support Ross

To the editor: Kama Ross is running for reelection on the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners. Before she was a Commissioner, I knew her as our District Forester. 09/04/2024 03:50 PM

Win with Bahle

To the editor: After being recalled by voters and losing the recall election, former District 3 Commissioner Will Bunek hasn’t attended a single Board of Commissioners’ meeting. In contrast, Lois Bahle stayed involved in county government, attending almost every BOC meeting even after losing re-election. 09/04/2024 03:50 PM

Vibrant community

Vibrant community

To the editor: Labor Day bridge walks in Leland and Lake Leelanau were as encouraging as they were inspiring, both radiating a refreshing unity of spirit and effort. Lake Leelanau’s organizers raised funds for community improvements and events, while Leland’s parade-like atmosphere, led by our local VFW, provided a cheerful, patriotic energy. 09/04/2024 03:50 PM

Kingmakers

To the editor: What we just witnessed was a palace coup. The ruling nobility knew their king couldn’t beat Trump, so they set him up to fail early enough to pressure, cajole, and threaten him to remove the crown with his own hands lest he face the daggers. 09/04/2024 03:50 PM

‘Brilliant alternative’

‘Brilliant alternative’

To the editor: As a return visitor to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, we appreciate the rare beauty of this pristine wilderness area. We are grateful to be able to experience this unique ecosystem in its natural state, unhindered by urbanization. 09/04/2024 03:50 PM

Project 2025 dangerous

Project 2025 dangerous

To the editor: In red states, conservative extremists have succeeded in banning reproductive rights, causing unspeakable heartache and hardships for countless American women. And now, Project 2025, if implemented, will override reproductive rights in blue states, creating a national abortion ban. 09/04/2024 03:50 PM
