Friends group makes leap

I’ve got mixed feelings about the Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes organization deciding to make a leap into the officialdom of nonprofits by hiring its first executive director. On the one hand, I’ll miss referring to the Friends as an all-volunteer organization. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Changes made to disability hunt

A Leelanau County hunter is swaying the opinions of members of the Michigan Natural Resources Commission, who last month removed a provision allowing disabled hunters to shoot bucks during their special firearms seasons. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Fish counter monitors catches

It’s been a good time for Brianna Abercrombie to break in as a fisheries assistant for the MDNR because, well, she’s dealing with mostly contented people. “This year they are happy with the salmon fishing,” said Abercrombie while waiting for what she termed “DYI” anglers to return to the Leland Harbor. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Yes to Segment 9

Yes to Segment 9

To the editor: The Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail provides a wonderful way to exercise, get from one place to another without using any carbon fuel, and slow down to see all that is available. Segment 9 will provide the best way to appreciate the biodiversity, cultural practices, and past agricultural practices within the park. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Thank you

To the editor: Thank you, voters, for renewing the Suttons Bay Bingham District Library’s operating millage! The library millage passed with 74% approval from the library’s service areas of Suttons Bay Village and Township and Bingham Township. We’ve received your support; now we’d like your opinion. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

NPS doesn’t care

NPS doesn’t care

To the editor: It seems near that most of the residents of Leelanau County opposed the extension of the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The 4.2-mil extension will costs $15.5 million — that is $700 per foot! Remember the 1970s? The NPS has a history of pressing on with initiatives regardless of what people thing, Chuck Bond Maple City. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Passing notes

To the editor: Passing notes about the date of a follow up interview and when an ongoing presentation started? Congratulations Enterprise on your big scoop right before the election. After all, It would be dangerous to reelect a commissioner so misguided as to ask the clerk for the date of a future meeting. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Watching for impact of minimum wage law

Watching for impact of minimum wage law

A new state law which will go in effect in February sounds good at first glance. However, it will be interesting to see it how everything shakes out on the Leelanau Peninsula. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM
