Northport… sweet … friendly

Northport… sweet … friendly

To the editor: Oh please! Let’s use what we already have — we don’t need “porta johns” in our parking lot, on the village main street. It is needed for that and donated for parking. 08/28/2024 10:35 PM

Concert kudos

To the editor: Hello readers and a hearty congratulations on another superb concert by the Northport Community Band on their “Spirit of America” concert at the Northport Performing Arts Center Saturday. There is so much great talent in this area of Leelanau. 08/28/2024 10:35 PM

‘Can’t go back’

‘Can’t go back’

To the editor: District 3! We cannot forget the reason we recalled Will Bunek in 2021! Remember his appalling (9/14/21) public statement while attempting to overturn a voter approved millage? Here it is: “So, we’re here when things are wrong, when the people make a wrong decision, we’re here to make sure that does not go on” Commissioner Allgaier questioned. “So you just said that if a vote, a public vote is taken, and we think it is wrong, it’s our job as a constitutional republic to nullify it?” Commissioner Bunek replied, “Yes, that is exactly right.” We cannot go back!

With thanks

To the editor: Thank you for prominently reporting on the Cleveland Township Board’s discussion of SBHT Segment 9 at its August meeting. Their discussion was in preparation for voting on an action item at September’s meeting on whether the Township should re-enter active conversations with the NPS about the trail. 08/28/2024 10:35 PM

Candidates share ‘mom’ messages

Candidates for office are always scratching around for some way to connect with voters who may or may not have anything in common with the candidate per se. Politicans want to avoid at all cost the impression that he or she is “out of touch” with the citizens they need to get into office. 08/28/2024 10:35 PM

Yes to Segment 9

Yes to Segment 9

To the editor: The Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail provides a wonderful way to exercise, get from one place to another without using any carbon fuel, and slow down to see all that is available. Segment 9 will provide the best way to appreciate the biodiversity, cultural practices, and past agricultural practices within the park. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Thank you

To the editor: Thank you, voters, for renewing the Suttons Bay Bingham District Library’s operating millage! The library millage passed with 74% approval from the library’s service areas of Suttons Bay Village and Township and Bingham Township. We’ve received your support; now we’d like your opinion. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

NPS doesn’t care

NPS doesn’t care

To the editor: It seems near that most of the residents of Leelanau County opposed the extension of the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The 4.2-mil extension will costs $15.5 million — that is $700 per foot! Remember the 1970s? The NPS has a history of pressing on with initiatives regardless of what people thing, Chuck Bond Maple City. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Passing notes

To the editor: Passing notes about the date of a follow up interview and when an ongoing presentation started? Congratulations Enterprise on your big scoop right before the election. After all, It would be dangerous to reelect a commissioner so misguided as to ask the clerk for the date of a future meeting. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Step up to help veterans with hall

She’s a tired, old building. She needs help. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Watching for impact of minimum wage law

Watching for impact of minimum wage law

A new state law which will go in effect in February sounds good at first glance. However, it will be interesting to see it how everything shakes out on the Leelanau Peninsula. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Salute!

To the editor: A Message to My Fellow Veterans: A man has referred to row after row of white granite crosses as a place for ”losers and “suckers”! That man also attacked a gold star family for political reasons. He then referred to a veteran as a coward because he was a prisoner of war. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM
