Omena-ites witness total eclipse, mourn Deibel

While many here in Omena enjoyed seeing the partial eclipse, a number of Omena-ites were able to be in places where they could witness the total eclipse. Crowds gathered all around Indianapolis, and Shapiro’s Delicatessen was one of those spots. Sally Shapiro reported that many hotels in Indy had several day minimum stays, so the deli was busy all weekend, through Monday. Quite a few people made Shapiro’s parking lot their spot for eclipse-watching. Brian and Sally and all of their staff took turns going outside to watch the eclipse. Sally put eclipse glasses on her camera and got some good pictures. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM

‘Disdains the rule of law

‘Disdains the rule of law

To the editor: Sheriff Borkovich stood onstage beside a twiceimpeached ex-president (not convicted), who’s accused of sexual abuse and financial fraud, who attacks judges and prosecutors, who allowed police to be bloodied by his insurrectionists, who disdains the rule of law. To this lawless figure, Leelanau’s top lawman lends his tacit endorsement. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM

‘Bludgeoned with flagpoles’

‘Bludgeoned with flagpoles’

To the editor: Sheriff Borkovich, as a selfproclaimed “ constitutional sheriff” you chose to be photographed with a presidential candidate who has stated he would “terminate” parts of the constitution. What parts of the constitution are you OK with terminating? Should the 12th amendment go? The one Congress was trying to fulfill when Trump incited a riot at the Capitol to stop the Electoral college count? What about the 140 injuries sustained by your brothers in blue while defending the Capitol — bludgeoned with flagpoles, assaulted with bear spray, repeatedly shocked with electric cattle prods, gas masks ripped off. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM
