‘Constitutional Sheriff’

‘Constitutional Sheriff’

To the editor: Leelanau County deserves a better Sheriff. Someone who is focused on law enforcement, not political grandstanding. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM

‘Never again’

‘Never again’

To the editor: I reject the COVID amnesty that some have suggested. Instead, we must never forget the forced mRNA (including children with virtually no risk), job terminations, and neighbor shaming where hostility were variously foisted on citizens who would not accept a largely untested vaccine, or who otherwise had religious objections. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM

‘Borkovich dedicated’

‘Borkovich dedicated’

To the editor: My father is a retired Police officer who often served numerous political officials whether he agreed with them or not. His duty, like Sheriff Borkovich, was always to the people he represented and not to one political party. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM

Courage, not bluster

Courage, not bluster

To the editor: An unexpected blessing of the January 6th hearings is that it gave young people two shining examples of political courage, Congresswoman Liz Cheney who co-chaired the Committee and White House Assistant Cassidy Hutchinson (age 27) who testified before it. Both Republicans, they were fully aware of what they could expect from the fury of Trump Republicans, including the onslaught of hate mail and death threats that they were about to receive. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM

It was not a dark and stormy night. (Sorry. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM

The Power of ‘we’ vs. ‘me’

The Power of ‘we’ vs. ‘me’

Sometimes you just have to step up when assistance is needed. That’s what Mary Kuntz of Leland did last week. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

Time to rise

To the editor: “To expect bad men not to do wrong is madness.” Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius’ words are as timely today as they were in the second century. They echo Maya Angelou’s famous quote, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” It’s time to believe. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

Kind words for Kalber

Kind words for Kalber

To the editor: We wish to honor Tom Kalber, the heart of Northport and Suttons Bay Tai Chi. For years, he volunteered countless hours to teach and coach Tai Chi, promoting its health benefits, a gateway to deeper levels of awareness, and origin in the martial arts. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

A column by Amy Hubbell

‘Sari Sisterhood’ alliance formed during trip

I know a lot of people. But have very few “girlfriends.” You know, the kind you’d call if you really need help or offer assistance if needed. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

Dictator?

To the editor: Webster says a dictator is a ruler having absolute authority, power, and supreme jurisdiction over the government of a state; especially, one who is considered tyrannical or oppressive. The worst and most famous dictators in history are: Hitler, Mussolini, Ferdinand, Marco, Joseph Stalin, Francisco Franco, Lenin, Mao, Kim and Vladimir Putin. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

‘Bar of Soap’ suggested

‘Bar of Soap’ suggested

To the editor: It appears some have lost the value of truth and why we are land of laws. Laws are for the purpose of protecting us from ourselves within a society. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

Copper beneath state park eyed

Copper beneath state park eyed

To the editor: Last week I learned that the state of MI is considering approval for a Canadian Company to mine copper adjacent to the Porcupine Mountains State Park in Gogebic County and in extreme proximity to Lake Superior. The state is also considering a $50 million grant to Highland Copper to proceed. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM
