Ross ‘green’ champion

Ross ‘green’ champion

To the editor: As evidence of climate-related change continues to mount — in the form of increasing floods, dropping water tables, relentless fires and even immigration — it is disturbing that the very concept of a changing climate, along with possible ways to address it, are partisan and divisive issues. We all need to be working together to create solutions that prevent or mitigate these disasters, including making informed choices in November’s elections. 10/09/2024 05:51 PM

Solution needed for Manitou dock issue

Solution needed for Manitou dock issue

A proposed North Manitou Island dock is treading water before it’s built. Whether from the vantage point of a backpacker, history buff or taxpayer, it’s becoming obvious that engineers designing the dock and Great Lakes captains who will place the safety of their passengers in its care need to iron out their differences. 10/02/2024 06:25 PM

Decisions… consequences

Decisions… consequences

To the editor: Hey, as we go along in our lives, we make decisions and live with the consequences. Some decisions that people make, is to support the valueless life style of abortion. 10/02/2024 06:25 PM

Wessell contributes to life

Wessell contributes to life

To the editor: I can’t think of anyone who has contributed more to improve the quality of life in Leelanau Township than Ty Wessell. He has been our school superintendent and our commissioner to the Leelanau County Board. 10/02/2024 06:25 PM

Go Empire!

To the editor: The Village of Empire is lucky to have Karen Baja, Dave Taghon, and Diana Oberschulte, who hosted an outdoor Empire candidate forum earlier this month. Empire has seven people running for three Trustee seats; the chance to get to know the candidates is challenging. 10/02/2024 06:25 PM

A column by Amy Hubbell

‘Andma’ is reporter’s favorite role

I’ve played a number of roles in my life. Sister, student, journalist, daughter, wife, mother… But I believe my favorite role to date is that of grandmother or what my granddaughters call me, “Andma.” My oldest granddaughter, Michelle, AKA “Winkie,” made me an Andma for the first time. 10/02/2024 06:25 PM

Vote for Conley

Vote for Conley

To the editor: In a recent interview in the Leelanau Ticker, Mike McMillan, who is running for Leelanau Township supervisor, spoke of making local elections non-partisan. The conversation he said sparked the idea was that a woman told him she could not vote for him because he supported Donald Trump. 10/02/2024 06:25 PM

Support Ross

To the editor: Thank you to the League of Women Voters for providing the forums for candidates for County Commissioner and Drain Commission. It is important for voters to have an opportunity to hear the differences in the candidates. 10/02/2024 06:25 PM

Support for Underwood

Support for Underwood

To the editor: I’m supporting Lisa Trombley for 103rd district state representative. She stands for lower taxes, less government over all, and more individual freedom. 10/02/2024 06:25 PM

Opposed to motorcycle

Opposed to motorcycle

To the editor: Kasson Township residents: I am running for a third term as a Kasson township trustee. It has come to my attention that there is a misconception in the township that I was in favor of the past Michigan Sprint Enduro Motorcycle event. 10/02/2024 06:25 PM

Elect Conley

To the editor: I can’t imagine a better Leelanau Township Supervisor candidate than Barbara Conley, M.D. wife, mother, grandmother and former academic oncologist. 10/02/2024 06:25 PM
