Thanks for ‘trunks’

Thanks for ‘trunks’

To the editor: On behalf of the Empire Area Community Center I would like to thank everyone who brought their “trunks” down to Front Street in Empire on Halloween! It was a great show of togetherness and good will with everyone having a wonderful time in support of our children in the Village and surrounding areas. Also, a big Thanks goes to the Empire Methodist Church for supplying free hot dogs, sliders and chips for everyone and to the Glen Lake Women’s Club for their great bags of treats!

Hunting tradition unifying force

I’ve been looking within for answers to a question that’s pertinent to fewer and fewer people. Why do I hunt? It’s a bit late in life for self-reflection on an activity that has driven much of my spare time in fall, the most beautiful of seasons. 11/06/2024 09:18 PM

Good Samaritans

To the editor: Last Monday evening we were almost home after a long day of traveling from Iowa when a deer came out from nowhere and we hit it (or rather it hit us). We were on M-22 south of Suttons Bay. 10/30/2024 05:31 PM

Cleaning ‘fridge’ cathartic for reporter

I did something last weekend. Tired of listening to political advertisements and stewing over election-related newspaper coverage, I went to my kitchen to accomplish a must-do — cleaning out the refrigerator. 10/30/2024 05:31 PM

New board faces challenges

No blow fall

To the editor: I want to promote a “NO BLOWFALL”. Fallenleaves provide a protective blanket for your gardens which will, over time, turn into mulch. 10/30/2024 05:31 PM

Slicing and dicing voting groups

When political races are TCTC — too close to call — the fascinating speculation is that anyone of a whole host of variables could determine the winner. That is where the state and country are as the long-awaited end to the dead heat battle between the former GOP president and current Democratic Vice President. 10/30/2024 05:31 PM

Support for Roberts

Support for Roberts

To the editor: Gwenne Allgaier’s tenure as County Commissioner has been marked by rising taxes and more government overreach. We need someone with realworld experience to reverse this trend. 10/23/2024 06:26 PM

A proven leader

A proven leader

To the editor: I’m supporting Mark Roberts for County Commissioner because Leelanau County needs a leader with real business experience. Mark has over 20 years of senior management experience in the pharmaceutical and medical industries, managing budgets over $20 million. 10/23/2024 06:26 PM

Demand accountability

Demand accountability

To the editor: Rick Robbins—the architect of the disastrous Finance Department separation—has cost taxpayers over $800,000. Robbins, who was ousted two years ago, is running again as a Democrat, and if he returns, it will be a disaster for Leelanau County taxpayers. 10/23/2024 06:26 PM
