Challenge of inflation

Challenge of inflation

To the editor: Inflation is a pain. As a policy issue, correcting inflation without damage to the overall economy is challenging. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Thank you

To the editor: Knowing that there are two sides to every story, with the truth being somewhere near the middle, I feel a need to share some ten years of observing a man I have always held a lot of respect for. For approximately 10 of my 32 years in education, I worked under the principalship of a man who was, and still is, in my opinion, extremely knowledgeable, more than supportive, fair in his dealings with you, truly interested in you, both as an employee and a person, fair in his evaluations, offering both constructive criticism and praise, someone who seeks to make things better for the common good, a man who gives tirelessly of himself in endeavors he undertakes. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Volunteers praised

Volunteers praised

To the editor Leelanau County, you outdid yourself. Through the years a looseknit group of governments, organizations and volunteers have planted thousands of bluegills in Kids Fishing Pond, the gemstone of Veronica Valley County Park. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

‘Too many cooks …ruin the sauce’

Without a doubt the most important duty state lawmakers have is to ride herd on the state budget with oodles of your money in play...$83 billion oodles in fact. With 148 legislators in the house and senate, not everyone has a direct hands-on assignment under the heading, “too many cooks could ruin the sauce.” The heavy lifting, instead, goes to the 19 senators and 29 house members who reside on the appropriations committees. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Thank you

To the editor: In this day and age, it is all too infrequent that a company providing a service will exceed their customer’s expectations. The steering cable on my 46-year-old Boston Whaler broke on the Tuesday before July 4th. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

4th on the 45th

4th on the 45th

To the editor: The Leland Chamber of Commerce wants to thank all who participated and supported the Leland 4th of July celebrations. For those that raised the funds, and those that donated, making the fireworks on the 3rd a possibility, the show was called by many one of the best ever seen in Leland. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Support cherry growers, way of life

Support cherry growers, way of life

It doesn’t take a math genius to figure out why farmers love their roadside stands, where sweet cherries fetch somewhere between $7 and $8 per quart. Prices for sweets sold on the commodity market at their best might hit 50 cents a pound, but that’s not a price break seen in recent seasons. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Local cherry growers need help

Times are tough for your neighborhood cherry growers. Farmers whose families are dependent upon the fruit for their livelihoods get up and go to work each day knowing they may or may not get money from their harvest. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

NITCOs not NIMBYs

NITCOs not NIMBYs

To the editor: With public conflict growing over new land development, many wonder about the motives of the NIMBYs who exclaim, “Not In My Back yard.” The current plan for Segment 9 of the SBHT will increase the value of my home and property. The trail’s placement in the road right-of-way will benefit me commercially. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM
