Volunteers praised

Volunteers praised

To the editor Leelanau County, you outdid yourself. Through the years a looseknit group of governments, organizations and volunteers have planted thousands of bluegills in Kids Fishing Pond, the gemstone of Veronica Valley County Park. 07/24/2024 03:46 PM

Thank you

To the editor: In this day and age, it is all too infrequent that a company providing a service will exceed their customer’s expectations. The steering cable on my 46-year-old Boston Whaler broke on the Tuesday before July 4th. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

4th on the 45th

4th on the 45th

To the editor: The Leland Chamber of Commerce wants to thank all who participated and supported the Leland 4th of July celebrations. For those that raised the funds, and those that donated, making the fireworks on the 3rd a possibility, the show was called by many one of the best ever seen in Leland. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

YES for Early Childhood

YES for Early Childhood

To the editor: When you vote in the August primary election, note that the “Early Childhood Services Millage Proposal” is the RENEWAL of Parenting Communities! Please Vote YES! Deb Kuhn Cedar. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

NITCOs not NIMBYs

NITCOs not NIMBYs

To the editor: With public conflict growing over new land development, many wonder about the motives of the NIMBYs who exclaim, “Not In My Back yard.” The current plan for Segment 9 of the SBHT will increase the value of my home and property. The trail’s placement in the road right-of-way will benefit me commercially. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Support Seniors

Support Seniors

To the editor: Our population continues to age; those of us over age 60 has increased 2 - 3% every year since 2020. In home services have increased by 10% for those in financial hardship and social isolation. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Grant endorsed

To the editor: As a former Leelanau County Register of Deeds (20 yrs), I’m endorsing Jennifer Grant for reelection. She has implemented the fraud program to protect our properties. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Wessell, ‘inclusive, respectful’

Wessell, ‘inclusive, respectful’

To the editor: The article on the resignation of commissioner Jamie Kramer cites reasons for the resignation were time constraints, dissatisfaction with the chairman, the culture survey, and concerns about unequal treatment of women. As a long-time advocate for equality, I am compelled to address the statement about “sexual discrimination” as implied toward chairman, Ty Wessell Respectfully, my experience is contrary to what was implied in the article. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Fair elections

To the editor: Why are Democrats against a Republican-sponsored bill requiring voter ID to vote in federal elections? Is it because they’re planning to commit massive voter fraud? It’s required to show an ID to board a plane, receive welfare benefits, visit health-care facilities, etc. Every legitimate vote should be protected to insure fair elections, and no one should vote for any politician who opposes this SAVE Act. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Support young families

Support young families

To the editor: On the August primary ballot, voters will have the opportunity to renew the millage that supports Early Childhood services provided free of charge to all young families in Leelanau County. Extensive research has shown that supporting young families provides strong positive outcomes for our community including school readiness, greater economic self-sufficiency, and better lifelong physical and mental health. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM

Not discounted

To the editor: I have worked with Ty Wessell for 3 1/2 years, and he works hard as Chair to be fair and open to feedback. I have never felt discounted as a female on the BoC and if I did, I know that I would be heard if I spoke up. 07/17/2024 05:06 PM
