Villa Marquette acreage now preserved
The deed granting ownership of a stretch of gravelly brook trout stream and 80 acres that it drains took a circuitous route on its way to the Leelanau Conservancy. But ensuring that the property remains undeveloped matches the goals of the Jesuits, whose name appeared on the title for 88 years. 01/17/2024 04:38 PM
Parenting Communities valuable
Parenting Communities valuable

Where are the unions?
Where are the unions?
To the editor: The federal government is importing scab labor to suppress wages of working Americans. It is obvious big corporations and the wealthy don’t want to pay a living wage. 01/17/2024 04:38 PM

We should be proud
We should be proud
To the editor: I was on a work call recently where regional child wellness agencies described services provided families and parents who face challenging behaviors with and/or who have questions about their young child’s development. All agree that the earlier a child’s developmental delays are identified, the more effective the interventions can be and the greater likelihood of having a healthy child, ready to handle kindergarten, and other emotional and social issues. 01/17/2024 04:38 PM

Lived experiences matter

Roll back 2017 tax cuts

Biden faces trouble in reelection effort
“We’ve got trouble.” “Right here in River City.” “Trouble with a capital T.” “And that rhymes with B.” “And that stands for Biden.” With apologies to Meredith Wilson of Music Man fame, substitute White House for River City and you have a poignant description of the trouble the sitting president is having trying to nail down four more years. In Michigan the Donald, for the first time in years, has an eight-point lead which is well beyond the margin of error and about the only good thing the Biden camp can profess is that the election is not happening right now. 01/17/2024 04:38 PM
