Ransomeware attack at Homestead

The Homestead resort in Glen Arbor was hit with a ransomware attack late last month. Although Homestead staff acted quickly to contain the cyberattack and prevent a breach, the incident is yet another case of cybercrime in northern Michigan. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Disappointing

To the editor: What I witnessed at the Senior Expo was disappointing. Last week, our Seniors gathered at Suttons Bay High School, to get help with just about any issue that accompanies aging. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Unsound

To the editor: Our country’s well-being be damned, Democrats and a complicit mainstream media were completely comfortable reelecting a cognitively impaired President Biden when they thought he could win. Their claims that his sad debate performance was “a breakthrough moment” in their understanding of his condition, which “aides have shielded,” or that “preparation overload” or “a cold” were to blame, are selfevident nonsense. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Leland Twp. issues

Leland Twp. issues

To the editor: I’m often asked what I see as the top issues facing Leland Township over the next four years. While there are many — park improvements (including the DNR launch), rebuilding the library seawall, prioritizing road repairs — the list starts with mending the divisions that have widened the last several years, and earning back the community’s confidence in our local government. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

To the editor: Leelanau County is a wonderful place to live and this is in no small part due to effective leaders working in county government. Kama Ross is my representative on the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners and she is an exemplar of local leadership that works to make our county a wonderful place to live. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Whitmer silent on presidential race

It’s a harmful, often laughfi lled cat and mouse game that Michigan governors have played with the political press in our town over the years but never before has it crescendoed to where we are today. If you combine all the national coverage with what the news hounds around here are writing, speculation about a certain female governor for president is about as omnipresent in the media as the daily weather report. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM

Thanks to all the kind-hearted people who lent their hearts and hands to the beautiful memorial service for my dear husband Scott Craig. There are too many to name all those who helped make his service at the Old Art Building so loving and spiritual, musical and magical, story-weaving, and truly community-made. 07/02/2024 05:21 PM
