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

‘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?

‘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

Dems have no shame

Dems have no shame

To the editor: President Biden’s dishonesty when it comes to America’s border enforcement was further exposed when Border Patrol recently admitted it has flown 320,000 illegal aliens from foreign airports into our country. About 2.3 million illegals have been released into the U.S. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

Friend needs help

Friend needs help

To the editor: A letter to the editor is, unequivocally, not an appropriate forum for fundraising. To be fair, however, it’s less appropriate to have to rely on crowdfunding sites for life-saving care. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

Micro-plastics threatening

To the editor: When we moved to Leelanau County, we knew the area was blessed with pure, abundant natural resources. After joining the League of Women Voters Energy and Natural Resources Committee, I learned how fragile these resources are and what’s required to protect our water, air, and soil. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

How long do you expect to live?

The anniversary in March came and went without a peep. It was in March of 1936 that George Gallup did his first public opinion survey and little did he know at the time the Frankenstein he was foisting on our political process but that will be left for another day and time. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM
