Renew millage

To the editor: Ninety percent of brain development happens in the first five years of life, when children’s parents are their first teachers. I am proud to live in a county that supports early childhood education through the Early Childhood Millage. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Harris ‘inept’

Harris ‘inept’

To the editor: Democrats have finally admitted, the emperor has no clothes, and as such, many are advocating to replace President Joe Biden’s with Vice President Kamala Harris. Only politician less intelligible than Joe Biden, is Kamala Harris. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Support early childhood request

Support early childhood request

To the editor: Why renew the Early Childhood millage on 8/6? Lilian Katz, professor emerita, Early Childhood Education, University of Illinois, says it best: “We must recognize that the welfare of our children and grandchildren is intimately linked to the welfare of other people’s children. When one of our children needs lifesaving surgery, someone else’s child will perform it. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Not compatible

To the editor: The look of the “Newbird” (Bluebird) building is a shock. It is totally at odds with the character of the community and the quality of life in Leland. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Support children

Support children

To the editor: VOTE YES on the Early Childhood Millage on the August ballot. This groundbreaking initiative is parent-led and informed by the science of learning. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Support for Ugalde

Support for Ugalde

To the editor: Dear Leelanau Township voters: The position of Leelanau Township Treasurer is a position that requires competence. Jolisa Ugalde has been in the position of Deputy Treasurer and has been trained to do the job that she will assume as Treasurer. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Dirty v. clean

To the editor: Some of our county commissioners are enamored with green energy projects, but are apparently unaware of the costs, environmental impacts, and reliability issues. Mother Earth News reports in their article “Dirty Drawbacks of Clean Energy” from June/July 2024, lithium mining is intensely damaging to the environment. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Disappointing

To the editor: What I witnessed at the Senior Expo was disappointing. Last week, our Seniors gathered at Suttons Bay High School, to get help with just about any issue that accompanies aging. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Unsound

To the editor: Our country’s well-being be damned, Democrats and a complicit mainstream media were completely comfortable reelecting a cognitively impaired President Biden when they thought he could win. Their claims that his sad debate performance was “a breakthrough moment” in their understanding of his condition, which “aides have shielded,” or that “preparation overload” or “a cold” were to blame, are selfevident nonsense. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Leland Twp. issues

Leland Twp. issues

To the editor: I’m often asked what I see as the top issues facing Leland Township over the next four years. While there are many — park improvements (including the DNR launch), rebuilding the library seawall, prioritizing road repairs — the list starts with mending the divisions that have widened the last several years, and earning back the community’s confidence in our local government. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Gala kudos

To the editor: On behalf of the board of directors for the Leelanau County Cancer Foundation, I would like to thank everyone who made our Gala of Grace fundraiser successful. To French Valley Vineyards for providing the venue, North Coast Trio and Sara Hartley for providing entertainment, to all those who donated auction items or food for our buffet, and to all those who attended and so generously bid on items, too numerous to name, we sincerely appreciate you. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Reelect Ross

To the editor: I am thrilled that Kama Ross is running to continue her service as a Leelanau County Commissioner for District 5. Considering all the volunteer activities she has done and continues to do for our community, she is clearly a human dynamo! I do not know how she finds time for it all. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM
