Support for young/seniors

Support for young/seniors

To the editor: Caring for an aging spouse or parent or a young child is challenging. Sometimes family or friends do not have answers to the tricky questions of dementia/ Alzheimer’s or cannot fully assess a toddler’s development. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM

No lethal force

No lethal force

To the editor: A letter in the June 19 Enterprise erroneously claims that the DOJ authorized the use of lethal force against Trump. Here’s what actually happened: the search warrant for Mar-a-Lago contained boilerplate language that’s put in every warrant to remind agents of the FBI’s policy regarding limitations on the use of lethal force. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM

‘Defund’ higher education

‘Defund’ higher education

To the editor: It was reported last week that North Korean defector— Yeonmi Park—is astonished at the anti-Western forced thinking, trigger warnings, safe spaces, preferred pronouns, and political correctness she encountered as a student at Columbia University, saying “even North Korea isn’t this nuts.” Park cannot believe she was asked to do “this much censoring of myself” at a U.S. university and observes that Americans seem willing to give their rights away, not realizing they may never come back. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM

Grateful for support

Grateful for support

To the editor: On behalf of the Leland Chamber of Commerce I’d like to express our gratitude for the unwavering support and generosity from our community. When we shared the cancellation of our beloved Leland Wine Festival this year, our main fundraiser, the response was heartwarming. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM

Visual pollution

Visual pollution

To the editor: Please. Could we refrain from putting up political signs until just a few weeks before any election? Otherwise, we have months of visual pollution. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM

More on Section 9

To the editor: Scott Tucker, Superintendent of the National Lakeshore, stated 5/7/24, “We have put design requirements forth for our design team to meander through that corridor. So that’s the design that I’m expecting to see this summer,” said Supt. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM

Thank you

To the editor: Thanks to family, friends, and community members for the celebration of my book, “Faith, Family & Music,” at the book signing event that took place on May 26, at the Solon Township Hall. What a party it was! Music was provided by band members of Larry & His Larks, Ray Watkoski, and Bobby Atkinson. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM

Censorship has arrived

Censorship has arrived

To the editor: Unbelievably, and in a break from past practices, local senior citizens were denied their right to obtain political and volunteer information from both Republicans and Democrats at last Tuesday’s Senior Expo held at Suttons Bay High School. The Expo promised to “bring in over 100 vendors showcasing the latest in information, resources, products, and services; giving you the tools to live a full life as you age.” The Republicans and Democrats were kicked out of the Expo, and school policy was given as the reason, even though it is nearly impossible to imagine that a school in Leelanau County has an anti-free speech policy. 06/19/2024 04:23 PM

Solar works

To the editor: Contrary to a recent forum article written by John Popa, my wife and I have relied on our solar arrays for several years no with satisfying results. With three separate installations we rarely have a net loss in our monthly bills. 06/19/2024 04:23 PM

‘Walks the walk’

‘Walks the walk’

To the editor: Kama Ross is doing good work as a county commissioner. She rarely, if ever, misses a meeting at the county, township or committee levels. 06/19/2024 04:23 PM

Support for childhood millage

Support for childhood millage

To the editor: I’m often awed watching my 3-year-old grandson play; sometimes it feels like I can “see” his brain working! In fact, I am witnessing his developing brain! Research says the biggest growth spurt of the human brain is during the first 1,000 days of life — that’s when the most-used neural pathways are strengthened and those not used are pruned. Early life experiences, both healthy and traumatic, literally determine the physical architecture of a child’s brain — and consequently, have a major impact on future life outcomes. 06/19/2024 04:23 PM
