Mental health concerns
Mental health concerns
To the editor: According to the MDHHS CON Annual Survey, psychiatric emergencies are the second most common reason people present to Acute Care Hospitals across the state (cardiac emergencies are at the top of the list). Our local Munson ER is reflective of this reality; in each of the last seven years people sought emergency services primarily because of their hearts and heads. 01/03/2024 07:41 PM
Committed to EMT/Fire Services
Committed to EMT/Fire Services
To the editor: After a series of public meetings and some on-line misinformation we wanted to confirm our commitment to EMT/Fire services while maintaining our fiduciary responsibilities to our taxpayers. In September we negotiated a three-year agreement with our EMT/Fire services, lifting their compensation from last in the County to toptier. 01/03/2024 07:41 PM
Greater Good is important
Greater Good is important
To the editor: One of the fundamental principles in a democracy is making decisions based on the Common Good. The FOIA issue currently facing the entire Leelanau County government is a solid case of actions which threaten this greater good. 01/03/2024 07:41 PM
Applause for Conservancy
Applause for Conservancy
To the editor: In contrast to the recent letters published in this paper, I applaud the Leelanau Conservancy for their creation of a wonderful trail system! The trails for biking are well designed, minimally impactful on the Forest, and provide a superb outdoor recreational experience. The trails are not very wide and therefore, they are one way only. 01/03/2024 07:41 PM
Looking forward to Year of the Dragon
Looking forward to Year of the Dragon
2024 is the Year of the Dragon, and I expect to act accordingly. Every year, my late grandmother, Ollie Koons, would dress the entire house with the yearly Chinese Zodiac sign as a good omen for the former rambling-gambling woman. 12/27/2023 04:58 PM
The gift
The gift
To the editor: Yes, it is almost Christmas and what is the greatest gift you have ever received? Something you treasure and are most thankful for. For me the gift was my parents, Flora and Joe. 12/27/2023 04:58 PM

To the editor: It’s been 11 years since 20 precious elementary students and six adults were murdered at Sandy Hook. I remember the tears running down my face as I watched the national news. 12/27/2023 04:58 PM
Guardrails needed
Guardrails needed
To the editor: The Gun Violence Archive verifies that 38,568 Americans died of gunshot wounds in 2022. Included in that grisly total are the victims of the 646 mass shootings that took place in 2022. 12/27/2023 04:58 PM

To the editor: I just came in from turning my compost pile, one reason to be grateful for a warm first day of winter. Nosignof wormsor other insect decomposers, so they know it’s winter and are safely buried down in the earth below. 12/27/2023 04:58 PM
Teflon worn thin
Teflon worn thin
To the editor: Do you remember the Maffia mob boss John Gotti — the so called “Teflon John” because he was indicted and tried in three different consecutive trials on felony charges of five murders, obstruction of justice, extortion and racketeering and found guilty. Gotti avoided consequences for his crimes but never once claimed he was being “picked on” or was the object of someone’s animus. 12/20/2023 09:57 PM
Popular Vote Compact
Popular Vote Compact
To the editor: Do you wonder why legislation supported by a majority of citizens doesn’t become law? Recent examples of proposed legislation that was supported by a majority of citizens but did not pass, include the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act (69% public support), and Dream Act (72% of likely voters supported). 12/20/2023 09:57 PM
Pull up the ladder
Pull up the ladder
To the editor: Reading this past year about the campgrounds proposed — and turned down —-in Leelanau County reminds me of a recent summer vacation. My wife and I rented a condo in Frankfort, and spent one of our days driving, shopping, and hiking Leelanau County. 12/20/2023 09:57 PM
