What is patriotism?
What is patriotism?
To the editor: I once asked a local Patriot, “What makes you more patriotic than me?”. His reply was “Did you serve?” My answer was “No.” If that were the only criteria for being a patriot hardly any one else could qualify. 06/05/2024 08:28 PM

Farewell Class of ‘24, hard work pays off
One of the biggest perks about writing for a community newspaper is the opportunity given to meet local students cutting out paper dolls in kindergarten, then follow their growth through graduation and beyond. 06/05/2024 08:28 PM

Election integrity
To the editor: We are five months out from the November election and only two months out from our Michigan August primary. Unfortunately, there is too much conversation at the national, state, and local levels about the integrity of the upcoming elections. 06/05/2024 08:28 PM

To the editor: Do you love TART Trails AND Sleeping Bear Dunes? Unfortunately, we must choose between the two regarding the proposed extension of the Heritage Trail because dunes at the north end of the National Park face destruction in order to (someday?) connect the bike trail across to Suttons Bay. The 22 mile Heritage Trail will soon get 4 more miles if the National Park/TART Trail plan goes forward. 06/05/2024 08:28 PM

To the editor: Trump has eviscerated the Grand Old Party truly a sad historic moment. The push and pull of the two-party system, though frequently frustrating,has been trashed. 06/05/2024 08:28 PM
Solar project ‘unacceptable’
Solar project ‘unacceptable’
I am not against solar power. However, I am against it if does not make economic or practical sense. I was a certified energy manager, and using taxpayer’s money to build and maintain a losing project, is unacceptable. 06/05/2024 08:28 PM
Task Force chairman responds to criticism
Task Force chairman responds to criticism
As Chair and frequent spokesperson for the Leelanau County Energy Futures Task Force, I have become a lightning rod for criticisms involving our group. This is unfortunate because it detracts from the important work done by this excellent body of dedicated citizens. 06/05/2024 08:28 PM

Poll results shocking, democracy dissed
The trusty old thesaurus suggests there are 52 synonyms for the word shocking ranging from distressing to shameful and everything in-between and in this case everyone of them applies to this latest polling data on the state of our democracy. 06/05/2024 08:28 PM

To the editor: Why is our VFW Post 7731 Memorial Day program a success? All of our members work hard to host this important event. We have good advanced advertising and we have good newspaper coverage. 05/29/2024 05:59 PM
