Preserve wilderness

To the editor: Sleeping Bear Naturally sincerely thanks the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians (GTB) for their essential role in Superintendent Scott Tucker’s decision to pause all work on Segment 9 of the Heritage Trail indefinitely. Because of GTB’s strong commitment to the natural world, these rare wetlands, mature forests and steep dunes will remain intact. 11/20/2024 04:34 PM

Kudos to election workers

Kudos to election workers

To the editor: After working in Centerville Township precinct during both our primary and general elections this year, I wanted to commend our County and Township officials during a challenging year. No voting system is perfect, no technology is perfect, and thankfully there are several layers of checks and balances. 11/13/2024 05:42 PM

Make America healthy

To the editor: I just read an article from the Wall Street Journal authored by RFKJr., 9/5/24. Headlined “Make America Healthy Again.” He illuminates the chronic disease crisis (CDC), gripping the USA. 11/13/2024 05:42 PM

Thank you

To the editor: Can you imagine what would have happened with folks around here still denying the results of the 2020 election if this vote-flip had gone the other way? Thank you to the candidates who took this gut-wrenching news like grownups. And thank you to Michelle Crocker, who has lived through her worst nightmare this past week. 11/13/2024 05:42 PM

Speed limits needed

Speed limits needed

To the editor: For many years, the residents around the Glen Lakes have requested that speed limits be reduced for the safety of walkers, bikers, and drivers. With the passage of a new bill by Governor Whitmer, townships are now allowed to set those limits. 11/06/2024 09:18 PM

Thanks for ‘trunks’

Thanks for ‘trunks’

To the editor: On behalf of the Empire Area Community Center I would like to thank everyone who brought their “trunks” down to Front Street in Empire on Halloween! It was a great show of togetherness and good will with everyone having a wonderful time in support of our children in the Village and surrounding areas. Also, a big Thanks goes to the Empire Methodist Church for supplying free hot dogs, sliders and chips for everyone and to the Glen Lake Women’s Club for their great bags of treats!

Hunting tradition unifying force

I’ve been looking within for answers to a question that’s pertinent to fewer and fewer people. Why do I hunt? It’s a bit late in life for self-reflection on an activity that has driven much of my spare time in fall, the most beautiful of seasons. 11/06/2024 09:18 PM
