Empire Lions Club auction set for August 11

Not much happening right now folks, the Empire Lions Club Anchor Day Chicken Dinner was the normal huge success although it was moved from the Townhall to Johnson Park. Some people were confused and some people didn’t know where Johnson Park was, which is hard to believe nonetheless the lions sold a lot of chicken and dinners and there were are a lot of very happy people eating enjoying the dinner. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Lucky Diablo Bosco wins the mayor’s race

The results are in, and the new Mayor is…the horse, of course! Congratulations to Lucky Diablo Bosco, and to his owner, Missy Bosco. Brother and sister cats, Topsy and Turvy Stephenson, will be sharing responsibilities as co-Vice Mayors, thanks to the campaigning of their human, Cathy Stephenson. Kanda and Harold McKee’s 1-year old cat, Porsche, will be learning the political ropes in Omena as Deputy Vice Mayor. These positions go to the top three vote-getters. Congratulations also to Emmie Tomlinson and Ruby Emmert, and their owners, Cindy and Thad Tomlinson, and Lin Emmert, who completed the top five list. All of the candidates are members of the 2021-2024 Omena Village Council. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

The Empty Bus

To the editor: Living along M-22 between Northport and Suttons Bay affords me the opportunity to watch the Route 10 BATA bus pass by up to 12 times daily. I regret to report this large bus is nearly always empty, rarely, if ever, with even a single passenger on board. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Tax cuts: look both ways

Tax cuts: look both ways

To the editor: We tell children to look both ways when crossing the street. Adults should look both ways when it comes to tax cuts. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Thank you

To the editor: The Glen Lake Woman’s Club’s Art Fair was a success, thanks to generous community support. Bay Area Transportation Authority drivers shuttled vendors to and from remote parking areas. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Kramer ‘ill-suited’

Kramer ‘ill-suited’

To the editor: The audacity of Commissioner Jamie Kramer projecting her very own failures as a public servant onto Commissioner Ty Wessell, a true servant-leader, only highlights how ill-suited she was for her position as a Leelanau Commissioner. And, with regard to Commissioner Melinda Lautner, it’s entirely laughable that she would support Kramer’s questionable narrative of her experience on the Commission. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Challenge of inflation

Challenge of inflation

To the editor: Inflation is a pain. As a policy issue, correcting inflation without damage to the overall economy is challenging. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Thank you

To the editor: Knowing that there are two sides to every story, with the truth being somewhere near the middle, I feel a need to share some ten years of observing a man I have always held a lot of respect for. For approximately 10 of my 32 years in education, I worked under the principalship of a man who was, and still is, in my opinion, extremely knowledgeable, more than supportive, fair in his dealings with you, truly interested in you, both as an employee and a person, fair in his evaluations, offering both constructive criticism and praise, someone who seeks to make things better for the common good, a man who gives tirelessly of himself in endeavors he undertakes. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM
