Invest in ‘affordable’ housing

Invest in ‘affordable’ housing

To the editor: Do we want the most beautiful natural sites and farmland in Leelanau County to be scooped up by international and out-ofstate buyers, who see our natural resources as their cash cow? We want people living here year-round, investing in the county, its residents and businesses. Putting down roots. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Tree removal ‘reprehensible’

Tree removal ‘reprehensible’

To the editor: In a letter published in last week’s Enterprise, an author wrote in favor of the current proposed routing of Segment 9 of the SBHT. His arguments are reprehensible, short-sighted, and out-of-date. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Carnivore diet improved attention

In the month of January, I tried something new to me — a structured diet — that consisted of eating only carnivore products for World Carnivore month. The carnivore diet is a dietary approach that consumes only animal products and excludes all plant-based foods. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Cherries … a lifestyle worth saving

Cherries … a lifestyle worth saving

Thank goodness for dried cherries, both for their taste and their importance in sustaining the livelihoods of growers in Leelanau County and across the state. Cherries easily outperform raisins and cranberries in the dried fruit taste department. 02/07/2024 05:13 PM

Grout, a hero among us

Hero. It is a word often overused. 01/31/2024 06:09 PM

Every little bit helps

Every little bit helps

We were heartened to learn last week that a local couple, whose families have lived in the county for generations, now has a place to call home in Northport. Peninsula Housing, a non-profit organization aimed at making homes more affordable on the Leelanau Peninsula, along with donors, bridge lenders and Leelanau Township Community Foundation did just that for Jon and Kelly Kehl. 01/31/2024 06:09 PM

Age not an impediment

Age not an impediment

To the editor: From where I sit, I see President Joe Biden as a man who wakes up every day trying to do the right thing for the American people, and for the world. Rather than viewing his age as an impediment, I see it as an asset. 01/31/2024 06:09 PM

Thank you

To the editor: WOW Leelanau County! Great to see a full room to observe the Public Accuracy Test on Monday, January 29th at the Leelanau County Government Center. Michelle Crocker and her election team did a very thorough job of demonstrating how our secure elections work here. 01/31/2024 06:09 PM

Less politics … more governing

Less politics … more governing

To the editor: There’s a saying that an evil man will burn down his own country in order to rule over the ashes. That unfortunately seems to describe recent actions of Trump and his MAGA enablers. 01/31/2024 06:09 PM

We the People

To the editor: Webster’s Dictionary defines a patriot as a “person who vigorously supports his/her country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors.” Our country is based on the principle of democracy and the rule of law, both now being threatened by people co-opting the phrase “We the People” while claiming to be patriots. They are entitled to their beliefs. 01/31/2024 06:09 PM

Time to be practical and realistic

Time to be practical and realistic

To the editor: In response to the letter about clean energy/property rights, let’s be practical and realistic. In Leelanau County, we have cold winters, so affordable home heating is critical. 01/31/2024 06:09 PM

How distant is Bergman?

How distant is Bergman?

To the editor: On Nov. 19, 2023 US representative Jack Bergman had an article published in the Detroit News. 01/31/2024 06:09 PM
