Saving Seventh Street for Seven Generations
Saving Seventh Street for Seven Generations
To the editor: Years ago, the State of Michigan gave the Village of Northport about six acres of mostly wooded land near Grand Traverse Bay to be used for recreational purposes. As the Village Council is considering the future of this small parcel on Seventh Street, the entire world is at a tipping point regarding stewardship of our environment. 03/06/2024 05:30 PM
What are your expectations?
What are your expectations?
To the editor: Republicans: Let’s see if I’ve got this straight...you’re okay with Trump’s extra-curricular activities; his disdain for laws and rules; his blatant lies and verbal insults. Right? What this tells me is you don’t think it’s important for the President of the United States to have a strong, moral compass; defend and preserve the Constitution; and believe in the Ten Commandments. 03/06/2024 05:30 PM

Uncommitted votes weigh heavy
You’ve probably heard of the $100,000 Pyramid on TV. But you’ve never heard of the 100,000 Vote Pyramid that Joe Biden and Donald Trump have to climb and failure to do so could cost them the White House. 03/06/2024 05:30 PM
Save the wine and food festival
Save the wine and food festival
With the cancellation of the 2024 Leland wine and food festival finally a reality, the thought of not being able to raise a glass at this local function is a chink in the armor of summer plans. For more than 30 years, the Leland Wine and Food Festival served as a pillar of Leelanau County’s wine industry that brings visitors in from far and wide to taste what Leelanau vintages have to offer. 02/28/2024 04:44 PM
Check your facts first
Check your facts first
To the editor: I have served as District 5 Leelanau County Commissioner for 14 months now and I am continuously disheartened by public comment at county meetings and letters to the editor from county residents who do not check their facts before sharing their views. Please, do your homework. 02/28/2024 04:44 PM
NATO should have accepted Ukraine
NATO should have accepted Ukraine
To the editor: If NATO would have accepted Ukraine into the organization before the beginning of the Russian invasions or even after, the war would be short-lived. A loan to Ukraine could have been made in good faith by all of NATO, instead of money and lives spent fighting. 02/28/2024 04:44 PM
Abandonment and appeasement
Abandonment and appeasement
To the editor: Abandonment and appeasement are words never associated with our nation. Trump, supported by his followers, recently stated that he would abandon Ukraine and our NATO allies to appease Putin. 02/28/2024 04:44 PM
A column by Meakalia Previch-Liu
Patiently awaiting spring’s arrival
We’re less than a month away from the start of spring on March 19 and less than two weeks away from changing our clocks once again (which I’m still not used to) for daylight saving time — and I could not be more ready for it. And besides, I think it’s about that time of year when people get restless for the next season. 02/28/2024 04:44 PM
Response to February 1 letter
Response to February 1 letter
To the editor: An author of a recent letter seems sincere in not knowing why President Biden holds historically low support from Americans. She mentions reasons for Biden support, including providing “student debt relief” to 3.7 million people, which of course is paid for by the 130 million working adults. 02/28/2024 04:44 PM
Identity theft surrounds us
Identity theft surrounds us
To the editor: Wow! I attended a BOC meeting on 02/13/24. It was a packed house. 02/28/2024 04:44 PM

Generation gap is profound in politics
With all due respects to the middle-aged folks reading this column, if you really want to have some fun, take a dive into the latest polling data on the extreme ends of the age spectrum i.e. young voters vs. older voters. 02/28/2024 04:44 PM
World needs to come together
World needs to come together
To the editor: Change is hard! I am astounded by the changes in my lifetime. Who would have thought encyclopedias would go by the wayside and we would type in random questions to a computer to learn all kinds of things, some true, some not. 02/21/2024 04:57 PM
