A column by Amy Hubbell

‘Sari Sisterhood’ alliance formed during trip

I know a lot of people. But have very few “girlfriends.” You know, the kind you’d call if you really need help or offer assistance if needed. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

Kind words for Kalber

Kind words for Kalber

To the editor: We wish to honor Tom Kalber, the heart of Northport and Suttons Bay Tai Chi. For years, he volunteered countless hours to teach and coach Tai Chi, promoting its health benefits, a gateway to deeper levels of awareness, and origin in the martial arts. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

Time to rise

To the editor: “To expect bad men not to do wrong is madness.” Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius’ words are as timely today as they were in the second century. They echo Maya Angelou’s famous quote, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” It’s time to believe. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

Roads that match our landscape

Roads that match our landscape

To the editor: I have listened to many county residents with issues about the condition and safety of our county roads. Our shared roads are probably the most common concern I hear from constituents. 03/27/2024 04:47 PM

Disappointing decision

Disappointing decision

To the editor: It was disappointing to say the least of the decision by the Empire Village Board to acquire a $480,000 building for a new Village Office. A new office is indeed needed, but this type of expenditure for what the Village will receive in return is a signifi cant disservice to the taxpayers of Empire. 03/27/2024 04:47 PM

Congratulations

Congratulations

To the editor: Congratulations to the Leelanau Enterprise and its staff for serving our county with a first-class publication. The fact that you have won awards in so many categories this year is a testament to fine leadership and talent. 03/27/2024 04:47 PM

Election important

Election important

A writer recently applauded the president for his “many accomplishments” but didn’t mention any of them. Here are some: open borders; influx of criminals and drugs; outrageous fuel and food prices; rising interest rates; attacks on 1st and 2nd amendment rights; forced compliance with green energy; woke ideology; surging crime rates; Two-tiered justice system highlighted by a coordinated legal bombardment against a former president; biological men ruining women’s sports; loss of parental rights; Student loan forgiveness; ignoring Supreme Court decisions. Need I say more? We voters have power to reclaim American values in November, the most important election in history! 03/27/2024 04:47 PM

Millage renewal important

Millage renewal important

To the editor: In August a very vital and important millage renewal will be on the ballot. Continuing support for the Early Childhood millage will allow our Health Department and Parenting Communities the continuity to continue supporting our young families and children. 03/20/2024 05:09 PM

Orange barge, crane

Orange barge, crane

To the editor: The orange barge and crane have been a ubiquitous site the past few years in Grand Traverse Bay. The barge spent a year or so sunk in Greilickville, then was moored for a while without permission in Peshawbestown, later again sunk off of Paradesia Point near Northport. 03/20/2024 05:09 PM

Age is relative

Age is relative

To the editor: How old is too old? It seems everyone’s idea of age is different. With many octogenarians leading productive lives and never considered too old, I think it’s time to recognize that age is relative. 03/20/2024 05:09 PM

Solar woes

To the editor: In a recent Enterprise we learned that one of Commissioner Melinda Lautner’s many objections to accepting the $1.5 million grant on offer to our county for the installation of solar panels is that the panels will be near a jail. “Concern about the proximity of the proposed solar array to the county jail,” arises in Ms Lautner’s mind, as “schools and other community groups may be allowed to visit the site for education.” Excuse me? What am I missing here? Are we worried that the convicts will get out and harm the poor unsuspecting students while the students are on a field trip? Or that they will leer at the students from the windows of their jail cells, causing them irreparable trauma? Or that the students might see the jail and take up a life of crime? Can anyone make sense of any of this? Mark Smith Leland. 03/20/2024 05:09 PM
