Fly In/Drive In pancakes a hit

Fly In/Drive In pancakes a hit

I want to thank and compliment the Northport Lions Club on the terrific Fly In/Drive In Pancake Breakfast that was held today (first Saturday in August) at Woolsey Airport north of Northport. There was a great crowd, many vintage cars and lots of planes of all kinds. Every person in attendance seemed to have a smile on their face and there were many pilots who expressed that Woolsey Airport is their favorite airport in Michigan. The runways are well maintained by Leelanau Township and there is no more iconic airport terminal than the stone building that was built as a creamery and now serves as the terminal. The SWAT! (Save Woolsey Airport Terminal) group had an information table where visitors could learn the history of the airport and the man it honors. Donations were also being accepted toward the repairs that are desperately needed to keep the terminal standing. If you haven’t had a chance to donate to save the terminal, donations are being accepted by the Leelanau Township Community Foundation SWAT fund. They are a 501(c)(3). 08/08/2024 06:09 AM

With thanks

Thank you volunteers, the Northport Community Band, pilots, car buffs, Northport EMS and a very giving community. The annual Northport Lions Club Breakfast Fly-In, held at Woolsey Airport Saturday, was by all measurement a great fund-raising event. 08/08/2024 06:09 AM

Leadership needed

Leadership needed

Leland Township has tackled some persistent issues in recent years — a permanent township office, a sustainable operating budget — but hard work remains. A library seawall and DNR park that preserve public docking; Hancock and Grove park improvements that align with residents’ interests; a comprehensive, cost-effective road repair plan. 08/08/2024 06:09 AM

‘Cusp of tyranny?

‘Cusp of tyranny?

The Heritage Foundation partnered with several hundred conservative organizations releasing a 900-page manifesto last year. It lays out a far-right Christian nationalist vision of America that would corrode the founding principle. 08/08/2024 06:09 AM

Jet skis a nuisance

Jet skis a nuisance

To the editor: Jet skis are banned at the Lakeshore and at the Homestead. Yet a small handful of selfish, irresponsible people launch from Glen Arbor and go back and forth on the lake. 07/31/2024 06:36 PM

Fair journalism

Fair journalism

To the editor: Regarding John Elchert’s opinion piece, the headline should have been “Democracy needs FAIR journalism” (addition of FAIR mine). And then our Leelanau Enterprise Publisher might have spoken about his plans to make that happen at the paper. 07/31/2024 06:36 PM

‘Urgent message’

‘Urgent message’

To the editor: If you need urgent care you won’t find and in Leelanau County. Munson hospital has satellite clinics around the area, but no in Leelanau County. 07/31/2024 06:36 PM

Farmer says ‘thanks’

Farmer says ‘thanks’

To the editor: Thank you to the Enterprise, who in both last weeks’ “View” and Amy Hubbell’s Editorial, expressed their support and concern for the cherry growers in this county. Thank you, also, to the folks who buy local cherries rather than cherries from elsewhere and other countries. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

The Empty Bus

To the editor: Living along M-22 between Northport and Suttons Bay affords me the opportunity to watch the Route 10 BATA bus pass by up to 12 times daily. I regret to report this large bus is nearly always empty, rarely, if ever, with even a single passenger on board. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Tax cuts: look both ways

Tax cuts: look both ways

To the editor: We tell children to look both ways when crossing the street. Adults should look both ways when it comes to tax cuts. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Thank you

To the editor: The Glen Lake Woman’s Club’s Art Fair was a success, thanks to generous community support. Bay Area Transportation Authority drivers shuttled vendors to and from remote parking areas. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM
