What we have…need

What we have…need

To the editor: Following the local news & other sources, I’ve come to a conclusion; we’re in BIG trouble in our county government. Some of our elected officials aren’t performing their positions as stated. 05/22/2024 04:45 PM

Church and state

Church and state

To the editor: It was written in a recent paper that we need to keep religion out of the White House citing Thomas Jefferson’s words “separation of church and state” as justification. But a history lesson is needed. 05/22/2024 04:45 PM

Survey divisive

Survey divisive

To the editor: We should continue to be concerned about the so called “cultural survey” that was conducted at the end of 2023 by John Scholten, and then reported upon him in early 2024. The “survey” has raised more questions than provided answers, but perhaps that was its intent. 05/15/2024 05:44 PM

Support the children

Support the children

To the editor: The growth & strength of the Suttons Bay Public School’s Music & Art Programs this year is nothing short of AMAZING! Hip, hip, hooray to the passionate teachers that have led the way… Dante Billeci, Elizabeth Richards, & Mary Hall. You have ignited in the children more than just a desire to learn but a sense of community & belonging. 05/15/2024 05:44 PM

Keeping Leelanau beautiful

Keeping Leelanau beautiful

To the editor: I appreciated the editorial on Earth Day that highlighted work of the Leelanau Conservancy. There is another agency that receives far less attention, yet is also busy conserving the resources of Leelanau county. 05/15/2024 05:44 PM

‘Topsy-turvy’ world

‘Topsy-turvy’ world

To the editor: Wild fiat money creation! Reckless deficit spending! 19% inflation! Eroded quality of life! Wide open borders! Laken Riley! Crime! Fentanyl! $4 gas! Food up 30%! Energy up 32%! Lawlessness! Campus anarchy! War! Death! Destruction! Stalinist show trials! Election interference! Interest rates 8%! Rogue DOJ and courts! Hypocrisy and double standards! Unequal justice! Allies betrayed! Civil society collapsing! Afghanistan! Did I miss anything? Had enough of this upside-down, topsy-turvy Mad Max world? Me, too. So on November 5 I’m voting Republican right down the ballot. 05/15/2024 05:44 PM

Suggested ‘compromise’

Suggested ‘compromise’

To the editor: We’ve all seen the letters and articles highlighting the pros and cons of the next stretch of the Heritage Trail, which would be just under 5 miles long and cost about 14 million dollars. There is certainly some controversy over cutting some 7,000 trees in natural areas, and while trails are a wonderful thing, to me, this one seems a bit overbearing in its design. 05/08/2024 04:54 PM

‘Unique challenges’

‘Unique challenges’

To the editor: After nearly four years as Leland Township trustee and planning commissioner, I am running for supervisor. My wife and I have three children who’ve attended Leland and St. 05/08/2024 04:54 PM

‘Support our police’

‘Support our police’

To the editor: Our men and women in blue have had an uprising battle these past few years. The risk for them has risen far beyond what anyone could have imagined. 05/08/2024 04:54 PM

More ‘nightmares’ please

More ‘nightmares’ please

To the editor: I keep seeing the Biden years described as a “nightmare.” Let’s see. A plan that beat back the pandemic. 05/08/2024 04:54 PM

‘Vote democratic’

‘Vote democratic’

To the editor: Early in my career my boss at the time, a Mormon, and I, a Jew, traveled to Japan. Our Japanese colleagues wondered why there were so many religions in America. 05/08/2024 04:54 PM

Infrequently heard

Infrequently heard

To the editor: Nostalgia, things not much heard anymore. • “That’s tops!” • “Swell.” • “In all my born days.” • “Soup’s on.” • “Hi doll.” • “Not in my lifetime.” • “Well, I have never…” • “Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle.” Donna Burr Leland. 05/01/2024 05:08 PM
