Interests over ambitions

Interests over ambitions

To the editor: Nikki Haley stated, “The first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the party that wins the election.” Interestingly, Trump, now 78, would be 82 by the end of a potential second term. His recent rallies reveal concerning signs: gibberish, slurred speech, confusion about people and facts. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Extension support

Extension support

To the editor: As a former TART Trails and Leelanau Conservancy board member, I celebrate the connections between human recreation and exploration and responsible well planned access to cherished, conserved places. The Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, winding throughout the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore exemplifies this intersection beautifully. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

‘On True Greatness’

‘On True Greatness’

To the editor: A recent (unsolicited) Trump MAGA mailing got me to thinking, what is greatness? Foremost seems to be “otherness.” Great people don’t have to tell anyone they’re great. Being “great” isn’t a goal in their life. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Trump voter

To the editor: Some reasons I am voting for Trump. 1.) I liked two dollar per gallon gasoline, affordable groceries, and lower loan interest rates. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Support for trail extension

Support for trail extension

To the editor: We are big fans of TART since living near the Leelanau Trail and watching it transform the community around it in a positive way! We now live in Cleveland Township and when using the Heritage Trail, it’s wonderful to see people experiencing the beauty and ecodiversity of the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore in such a unique and healthy way! As advocates for people with disabilities, we also love that the SBHT trail provides an accessible and truly immersive way to experience the National Lakeshore for people with mobility challenges. The process of creating this next section has been nothing but respectful of the community- using input from a series of public Cleveland Township meetings held in 2018 to inform the route. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Baloney

To the editor: Trump claims Kamala Harris is a “border czar,” and that problems at the border are therefore her fault. Baloney. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

With thanks

To the editor: For many years those who boat down the Leland river ave noticed that some areas need to be dredged. Thanks to the generous donations of the Thomas Reahard Family and Easling Construction a study is underway to help develop a comprehensive program and budget to accomplish this goal. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

To the editor: I’m grateful to Joe Biden and believe history will judge him as an exceptional president. But I’m glad he stepped aside. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

To the editor: Kama Ross is the very best of the best among those running for office in Leelanau County. Her honesty and integrity are just two of her amazing qualities. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Only in Leelanau

Only in Leelanau

Last Wednesday I stopped at my favorite roadside vegetable/ fruit stand on Overlook Rd and M22 for sweet corn, squash and late harvest sweet cherries. I made my purchase, loaded my items into my car and drove to myNorthporthome. Anhour later the doorbell rang. Standing at my door was the owner of that stand. I had left my billfold on the table. He was bringing it home to me, fully in tact, before I even knew it was missing! Thank you for your thoughtfulness and your wonderful produce. Suzanne Landes Northport 08/08/2024 06:09 AM

Where has civility gone?

Where has civility gone?

While seating with my 8 yeqr old granddaughter on on the patio of our home on Lake Leelanau, she wondered what the flag attached to a bright yellow speed boat said. The boat was motoring from the south end of the lake due north and the flag read “F... Biden”. 08/08/2024 06:09 AM
