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
‘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
‘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
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
Yes to Parenting Communities
Yes to Parenting Communities
To the editor: Parenting Communities of Leelanau County (PCLC) support new parents who are often far removed from their own families. Without help, inevitable parenting challenges can raise fears of inadequacy. 05/01/2024 05:08 PM
Elements of democracy
Elements of democracy
To the editor: Democracy is a topic of much discussion in our daily conversations, one result of our political turmoil. Withmanyamong us sharing thoughts on the importance of and elements of democracy, it’s fitting for the Smithsonian (April/May 2024) to reveal the connection of and importance of the library to colonial education and ultimately to the support and understanding of democracy. 05/01/2024 05:08 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
‘Children are watching’
‘Children are watching’
To the editor: Bullying is official okay. Example: trampling on a leading presidential candidate because an opponent isn’t polling well. 04/24/2024 04:43 PM
Building community
Building community
To the editor: An opportunity in Leelanau County lies ahead with the August primary. We will be able to support funding for early childhood, senior services, a road millage along with selecting our public servants for the years ahead. 04/24/2024 04:43 PM
No vote on immigration
No vote on immigration
To the editor: If the sheriff really wants to see the problems at the border addressed, I suggest he urge the MAGA Republicans in the House to bring the immigration bill already negotiated by both Republicans and Democrats in the Senate to a vote. The bill contains most of what the MAGAs want, and Biden has pledged to sign it. 04/24/2024 04:43 PM
Bergman opposed Ukraine aid
Bergman opposed Ukraine aid
To the editor: Once again, Rep. Jack Bergman has allied himself with the far-right fringe of the Republican Party — Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Elise Stefanik, among others — this time opposing aid to Ukraine, and thereby providing support to Putin. 04/24/2024 04:43 PM
Stop the insanity
Stop the insanity
To the editor: “What government have you given us, Mr Franklin,” asked the lady. “A Republic, madam, if you can keep it.” This November 5 don’t be a hitchhiker on the road to socialism. 04/24/2024 04:43 PM
