‘Fear behind labeling’

‘Fear behind labeling’

To the editor: As a grade-schooler in 1958, during the Cold War, after giving a report on my family’s story of emigrating from Russia, I was accosted by an older classmate at recess. Finger in my face, he demanded, “Are you a pinko-commie?” I didn’t know what that was, but I knew it wasn’t a good thing. 09/12/2024 06:28 AM

Pave paradise?

To the editor: I oppose SBDNL/TART’s plan to destroy the existing environment (cut 7,000+ trees; build boardwalks through wetlands; and cut into protected sand dunes then build 25’ +/- high retaining walls to hold back the dunes) at the outrageous price tag of $4 million per mile. There are other options that SBDNL/TART could consider before they destroy the existing environment. 09/12/2024 06:28 AM

Attending meetings…

Attending meetings…

To the editor: Should attending meetings be a criteria for qualifying candidates, I’ve attended (BOC) and Committee meetings for 13 years, Bingham Township Planning meetings for 12 years and for the last 5 years Northwest Regional Airport Authority (NRAA) and Cherry Capital Airport committee meetings representing Leelanau County. As Chairman of the NRAA finance committee I am helping to oversee Cherry Capital Airport’s planned $110 million expansion project. 09/12/2024 06:28 AM

Breaking tasks into chunks

Breaking tasks into chunks

A couple weeks ago, I took vacation time to visit friends and family in New Hampshire. The highlight of the trip was my visit to Mount Cardigan. It’s a somewhat less imposing climb compared to many of the nearby White Mountains, at 3,155 feet above sea level. But in the words of another party of hikers who I encountered on the trail, “‘easier’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘easy.’” The weather was clear on the day of the hike, but several days of rain earlier that week made the hike pose two very different challenges. On the one hand, there was a pressure cooker: humidity trapped under the forest canopy in the valleys below the mount. On the other, was the summit: bare granite unshielded by tree cover and exposed to powerful, cold winds. 09/12/2024 06:28 AM
