Trump voter

To the editor: Some reasons I am voting for Trump. 1.) I liked two dollar per gallon gasoline, affordable groceries, and lower loan interest rates. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Support for trail extension

Support for trail extension

To the editor: We are big fans of TART since living near the Leelanau Trail and watching it transform the community around it in a positive way! We now live in Cleveland Township and when using the Heritage Trail, it’s wonderful to see people experiencing the beauty and ecodiversity of the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore in such a unique and healthy way! As advocates for people with disabilities, we also love that the SBHT trail provides an accessible and truly immersive way to experience the National Lakeshore for people with mobility challenges. The process of creating this next section has been nothing but respectful of the community- using input from a series of public Cleveland Township meetings held in 2018 to inform the route. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Baloney

To the editor: Trump claims Kamala Harris is a “border czar,” and that problems at the border are therefore her fault. Baloney. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

With thanks

To the editor: For many years those who boat down the Leland river ave noticed that some areas need to be dredged. Thanks to the generous donations of the Thomas Reahard Family and Easling Construction a study is underway to help develop a comprehensive program and budget to accomplish this goal. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Bringing America together

Bringing America together

To the editor: I’m grateful to Joe Biden and believe history will judge him as an exceptional president. But I’m glad he stepped aside. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Only in Leelanau

Only in Leelanau

Last Wednesday I stopped at my favorite roadside vegetable/ fruit stand on Overlook Rd and M22 for sweet corn, squash and late harvest sweet cherries. I made my purchase, loaded my items into my car and drove to myNorthporthome. Anhour later the doorbell rang. Standing at my door was the owner of that stand. I had left my billfold on the table. He was bringing it home to me, fully in tact, before I even knew it was missing! Thank you for your thoughtfulness and your wonderful produce. Suzanne Landes Northport 08/08/2024 06:09 AM

Where has civility gone?

Where has civility gone?

While seating with my 8 yeqr old granddaughter on on the patio of our home on Lake Leelanau, she wondered what the flag attached to a bright yellow speed boat said. The boat was motoring from the south end of the lake due north and the flag read “F... Biden”. 08/08/2024 06:09 AM

Fly In/Drive In pancakes a hit

Fly In/Drive In pancakes a hit

I want to thank and compliment the Northport Lions Club on the terrific Fly In/Drive In Pancake Breakfast that was held today (first Saturday in August) at Woolsey Airport north of Northport. There was a great crowd, many vintage cars and lots of planes of all kinds. Every person in attendance seemed to have a smile on their face and there were many pilots who expressed that Woolsey Airport is their favorite airport in Michigan. The runways are well maintained by Leelanau Township and there is no more iconic airport terminal than the stone building that was built as a creamery and now serves as the terminal. The SWAT! (Save Woolsey Airport Terminal) group had an information table where visitors could learn the history of the airport and the man it honors. Donations were also being accepted toward the repairs that are desperately needed to keep the terminal standing. If you haven’t had a chance to donate to save the terminal, donations are being accepted by the Leelanau Township Community Foundation SWAT fund. They are a 501(c)(3). 08/08/2024 06:09 AM

With thanks

Thank you volunteers, the Northport Community Band, pilots, car buffs, Northport EMS and a very giving community. The annual Northport Lions Club Breakfast Fly-In, held at Woolsey Airport Saturday, was by all measurement a great fund-raising event. 08/08/2024 06:09 AM

Leadership needed

Leadership needed

Leland Township has tackled some persistent issues in recent years — a permanent township office, a sustainable operating budget — but hard work remains. A library seawall and DNR park that preserve public docking; Hancock and Grove park improvements that align with residents’ interests; a comprehensive, cost-effective road repair plan. 08/08/2024 06:09 AM

‘Cusp of tyranny?

‘Cusp of tyranny?

The Heritage Foundation partnered with several hundred conservative organizations releasing a 900-page manifesto last year. It lays out a far-right Christian nationalist vision of America that would corrode the founding principle. 08/08/2024 06:09 AM
