To the editor: For anyone who’s ever attended a BOC meeting, particular attention should be paid to the ‘Approval of Financials’ section. Each Commissioner, on a rotating basis, makes a motion for disbursement of county funds towards specific items. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Grateful

To the editor: The Leland Library is thrilled that our operating millage passed with a resounding 70% margin. This community support provides a strong foundation as we work to enhance our library’s facilities and services. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Board accomplishments

Board accomplishments

To the editor: This newspaper paints a picture of our Leelanau County Board of Commissioners as an acrimonious and dysfunctional body, in part by devoting a great deal of attention to minor issues. Yet we should remember that the current bipartisan Board has accomplished a lot, often with support by five out of six commissioners. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

3 Things

To the editor: 1. Everyone can and should be who they want to be, genderwise, and otherwise, but the risqué body display for the drag Tea Dance in Northport is not appropriate for children, daytime, or even a photo in Leelanau Enterprise. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

‘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

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

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

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

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

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

‘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
