The Class of 2025 has impressed with their academic, athletic and extracurricular achievements. If you attended one of four high school graduation ceremonies held over the weekend, no doubt you were impressed with all the accolades.

Hard work in the classroom was on display. But we’ve been just as impressed by the students’ hard work at ... work.

Long before county students go on to learn skilled trades or earn sheepskins in college, they receive big career breaks raising cattle, shaking cherries and sweeping floors in Leelanau County.

What’s that, you ask? What does cleaning up spilled coffee have to do with a career path?

Hard work. Many a scholarship application submitted this spring, include work experience — not related to hitting the books.

From providing child care to working as a local ice cream “scooper”; bagging groceries or skimming tanks at one of the county’s many farms … Leelanau students know how to work.

All of those summer jobs represent career paths. Lacking a silver spoon, the best advice we can give students is to embrace the on-the-job education provided while working alongside adults who know the value of a dollar earned.

Being placed on a honor roll represents an important accomplishment. So does graduating at the top of your class.

But without a strong work ethic, neither will get you to your highest destiny.

To county graduates, we’re suggesting that you will likely have to sweep more floors before you own the building.

We’ve noticed that most of you don’t mind sweeping, and so have those around you.

The first Pride Month celebrations were in New York City on June 28, 1970, on the one year anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. In 1969, LGBTQ+ patrons at the Stonewall Inn in New York resisted a police raid which sparked days of protest and ignited the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. Today, while Pride events often include joyful celebrations, their foundation is built on resistance and advocacy.

In 2025 the struggle still continues. Around the world more than 60 countries still criminalize same-sex relationships and marriage. Trans people face increasing barriers to healthcare and legal recognition and hate crimes against queer individuals remain a constant grave concern.

These hate crimes and anti-LGBTQ+ movements are aimed at making people believe that queer people are deviants and the enemy when it is quite simply the exact opposite. Those who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community just want the right to live and exist as they are without fearing for their wellbeing. We can’t forget that America was built as a diverse melting pot of culture and identities.

And on that point, one of the most important evolutions of Pride Month has been the growing embrace of intersectionality, or the idea that race, gender, class, and sexuality are interconnected. Pride has been increasingly centering the voices of queer people of color, disabled individuals, and others whose experiences are often sidelined. This inclusivity strengthens the movement. It ensures that Pride does not only represent the most visible or privileged among the LGBTQ+ community, but also the most vulnerable. It pushes society to confront how different forms of discrimination compound on each other.

Over the past few decades, the LGBTQ+ movement has achieved monumental progress, from marriage equality to anti-discrimination protections. However, that progress has been met with intense backlash. According to the American Civil Liberties Association (ACLU), as of May 23 there have been more than 588 bills introduced this year that target the rights of LGBTQ+ people. Legislation and rhetoric targeting transgender youth and drag performers in particular has swept through the United States and several other countries.

This backlash proves that the work is far from over. Pride Month is not a relic of the past but a necessity of the present. It’s a celebration of how far the LGBTQ+ community has come, and an acknowledgment of how far we still have to go. In an era marked by political polarization, misinformation, and renewed attacks on queer and trans people, Pride Month functions as a rallying point for those who believe in equality and justice. It reminds us that rights once gained are not guaranteed, and that solidarity, activism, and community remain essential.

I’m quite certain that I’m among the many Enterprise readers who look forward to the back cover of the first section each week. Ken Scott’s photos are a rare treat … the perspectives, the unique Leelanau views, the seasonal colors and the unexpected moments he captures are always a highlight for our family.

I can only imagine the time and effort each week for Ken to explore our county and find original settings like the seasonal treat in last week’s edition. Not to mention getting the lighting and focus just right ... which is especially evident in the online version of the Enterprise, although I certainly enjoy the larger print version as well. Ongoing thanks to Ken and Enterprise for giving us the opportunity each week to view seasonal treasures in our county. Jim Schaberg Centerville Township

When someone as outspoken on green energy as Joe DeFors publicly endorses a candidate for the Cherryland Electric Cooperative board, it’s important to take notice. Mr. DeFors previously supported the solar panel project that, thanks to opposition from many county residents, did not move forward. That proposal raised critical questions about priorities, costs, and long-term benefits for taxpayers.

Now Mr. DeFors has endorsed Jim Dyer, a candidate who has expressed support for expanding solar and wind energy. While renewable energy has its place, Cherryland members deserve a balanced and practical approach — especially when costs and reliability are on the line.

There have also been concerns raised about potential conflicts of interest. To be clear, former Commissioner Melinda Lautner had no authority to negotiate contracts with Cherryland. However, County Administrator Jim Dyer does. Given that he has publicly stated he would prioritize “sustainability” in energy decisions, voters should consider whether that focus aligns with the financial best interests of county taxpayers.

Cherryland customers should have a voice in determining the direction of our energy future— one that is dependable, affordable, and financially accountable. A vote for Melinda Lautner will have an objective and much needed, common sense approach on the Board of Cherryland Electric.

Michael V. Awrey Traverse City

Our newly appointed county administrator is doing a disservice to Leelanau county citizens by running for a Cherryland Electric Board of Director’s seat. James Dyer sought out the full-time position of Leelanau County administrator with a promise to devote his attention to serving the residents of Leelanau. The job of administrator is all encompassing. If his intention is to give complete devotion to the position, he would not be able to carve out time to help set energy policy for a regional utility provider. Cherryland pays Leelanau County to place antennas on county towers. Will Dyer negotiate/ oversee that contract? Will Dyer negotiate future contracts with Cherryland? If elected as a Cherryland Board director Dyer will be paid $1,000 per meeting.

Is this not a conflict of interest?

I am concerned that our new administrator has brought controversy with him as one of his very first decisions.

Tina McCalley Elmwood Township

I read with grim amusement County Administrator Jim Dyer’s quote in the paper: “I know about setting rates … My decisions will be based on sustainability.”

Guess what folks! Sustainability is a green energy zealot buzzword for energy that is expensive, unreliable, and environmentally harmful. A responsible administrator would base rate decisions on reliability, durability, and costeffectiveness. It seems like Mr. Dyer is another Green energy acolyte seeking to carry on his crusade against climate change using someone else’s money. In other words, your money. Personally, I like cheap, reliable, and environmentally sound Cherryland electric power. If you agree, please vote for Melinda Lautner for the Cherryland Electric board.

David Kiessel Suttons Bay Editor’s note: Mr. Dyer’s complete quote was “My decisions will be based on sustainability — not politics.”

Jim Dyer, Leelanau County Administrator, holds a fulltime, demanding public leadership role managing county operations, staff, and taxpayer resources.

Now he is running for a seat on the Cherryland Electric Cooperative board — a position with fiduciary responsibility over utility rates, contracts, and long-term energy policy.

As County Administrator, Mr. Dyer directly oversees county contracts — including with Cherryland — and sits on committees related to county infrastructure and tower contracts where Cherryland is a customer. These responsibilities create the appearance of a conflict of interest — something any seasoned attorney and public official who was trained on the County’s strict ethics policy should readily recognize.

In addition, serving effectively on the Cherryland board requires a significant time commitment. His running for another job leaves the impression — actually, makes obvious — that his priorities lie beyond the duties of his full-time managerial position with Leelanau County. Taxpayers deserve his full professional focus.

To avoid the appearance of conflict and to dedicate full attention to his current role, Mr. Dyer should withdraw his candidacy. Ethical public service demands no less.

In a state known for its cantankerous strong divisions based on geography (think UPers (sp?) vs. the rest of us) political beliefs, and fill in the blank, now comes a question from pollster Richard Czuba.

Should lawmakers vote based on what their political party stands for or should they compromise and seek bi-partisan cooperation instead?

Now before you answers here’s a stab in the dark on what the two sides are thinking.

Look if I voted R or D because I believe in what my party stands for. If we don’t stand up for what we believe, what kind of Democracy is that? We might as well have a king to tell us what to do.

Or, neither political party has all the right answers for this issue or that. There may be certain issues that you won’t abandon but most of the stuff they debate in Lansing is not black and white. Elected officials should look for common/middle ground and basically compromise is not a four letter word.

The envelope please Mr. Czuba.

“Seventy percent want leaders to compromise. Nineteen percent want them to stand up for the party.”

The 19 per centers may not like this but anytime you get 70% of a state to agree on anything, that’s not only an “aha moment” , it should have impact on what they do in the state capitol since a vast majority want it.

Which brings us to two examples: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and legislative leaders.

Gov. Whitmer during a speech to a business conference on the island last week mention Gov. Bill Milliken.

“I was in the audience back then when he called for bipartisanship,” she told the group and its safe to say that ever since, (because she was getting the same message growing up around parents who were as B-P as could be) she has tried to practice it including showing up in the Oval Office with a president from the opposite party.

By now if you haven’t heard about the flak that was piled on her from hard core Democrats and maybe even some jealous Republicans, go back to sleep.

Suffice it to say, there were some unkind remarks but she responded that the voters of Michigan hired her to get things done and if working with a GOP president who did not share many of her deeply felt principles, than so be it.

And in case you were asleep, as a result she got a jet fighter wing for Selfridge air base in Macomb County from President Trump after failing miserably with Democratic Presidents Biden and Obama on the same request. The jets were in addition to Mr. Trump signing off on a gizmo to keep the Asian carp out of the Great Lakes. Her bipartisanship is two for two and counting with other “gets” in the works?

While the good governmenttypes were glowing about her stand up performance, there are no smiles for the current state of non-cooperation among legislative leaders over the state budget, fixing the roads and related issues.

Peace is not a hand…or foot. During that same island conference last week the four legislature leaders, two D’s and two R’s, sat on a panel discussion. The fact they agreed to appear together was in itself a revelation as up to that point, the finger pointing was conducted via news conferences and press releases. Now for the first time the audience in the Grand Hotel witnessed a not so grand display of political bickering that did not produce a stand ovation.

Not since GOP candidates Rick Snyder and Mike Cox got into a downright ugly exchange over who was lecturing whom on morals and ethics during a governor’s debate, has this audience been “treated” to such a display of unfriendliness/rancor.

Senate Democratic leader Winnie Brinks and House GOP Speaker Matt Hall, who know how to compromise, must have left that baggage at the boat dock before heading up to the hotel.

Time does not permit a blow by blow description but suffice it to say, there was no hint that these two were going to find middle group on anything although they both know they must or else.

Or else the state budget doesn’t get done on time and a government shutdown results and none of the fallout from that is good unless you enjoy national headlines, “Michigan Government Closed for Business.”

Giving the two combatants the benefit of the doubt, maybe some of the negative stuff was part of the budget dance and eventually they will reach a compromise.

But as they move toward that, perhaps they should keep two numbers in mind: 70 vs 19.

The gala will feature musical entertainment once again, a live and silent auction, as well as cuisine from Leelanau’s Island Thyme Catering. One of the biggest items that will be up for auction this year includes a tour from Skip Telgard, owner of the Bluebird Restaurant and Tavern in Leland, of their building’s new kitchen, as well as a dinner for four with him and his wife. Other big items up for auction includes a golf round for four people at Northport Creek Golf Course, a pontoon ride on Lake Leelanau, four hours of housecleaning, and the popular “cookies a month for a year,” which is where members of the LCCF board will bake a couple dozen cookies each month (from July through June) and the winning bidder will receive them.

“I feel like Leelanau County is such a warm embracing community and people care about their neighbors and that’s the draw of this is that you are helping your neighbors,” said Terry Gremel, LCCF board chair. “It might be your next door neighbor, someday it might be you, but you know you’re helping someone in the county. Even if you don’t have cancer in your family, which is a really rare thing, people know that cancer can be a devastating illness and that the people that need help are so grateful… We’re all very passionate about what we do and we’re all very proud of this organization and thankful to the people of Leelanau County who are willing to support our work.”

LCCF raised about $12,000 from last year’s gala fundraiser and had more than 100 attendees present, a great turnout and success that Gremel said they hope to continue to build on at this year’s event. While the gala serves as one of the organization’s main fundraisers, Gremel said they’ve also been fortunate to have the support from many donors and other local nonprofits, such as the Leelanau Township Community Foundation, which recently awarded LCCF with a $15,000 grant. This year, the annual Northport Run for Cancer Funds set for July 4 will also be giving the money it raises to LCCF so that 100% of its contributions stay in the county and directly benefit Leelanau residents.

Mike McMillan, Northport Run for Cancer Funds race director and LCCF board member, is a two-time cancer survivor himself, and said they’re just really proud to be able to contribute to an organization that aims to assist those in need in Leelanau County.

“I can’t say enough about what they (LCCF) do and the fact that we’re able to put 100% of our dollars towards that — it should be meaningful to the community,” McMillan said. “(As a cancer survivor) I’ve got a deeper appreciation for the work that they’re doing for the community. Fortunately, we did not rely on secondary assistance, but there are a lot of folks that require it.”

The LCCF helps those affected by cancer in many ways, including through monetary assistance with regular expenses like mortgage or rent payments, auto and health insurance payments, home/lawn maintenance and auto repairs, and travel costs. Gremel said there’s no “rubber stamp” of what they can help those in need with, and that she spends time speaking with people to help figure out their most crucial needs to best help their situation.

LCCF has helped nearly 200 county residents in the last 11 years. Since May 2016, the organization has helped neighbors with grants totaling almost $140,000.

“For some people, it’s gas cards and paying for their hotel room when they go away for treatment to a big center. We also help people with things as basic as their electric payment, insurance, tires for their cars, car repair, just about really anything you can think of that people might need help with, it just depends on their situation,” Gremel said. “Last year was our biggest year of being able to donate money because people have been so generous with us that we’ve been able to increase the amount that we can help people with. We gave out about $70,000 last year. Right now, our limit is $3,000 per family… So we’re hoping to build on that so that we can help more.”

Tickets for the gala are $75 and can be purchased online at www.leelanaucountycancerfoundation. org/a-gala-of-grace or by calling 231-645-2120.

Maple Grove Cemetery is the final resting place of many early Leelanau County settlers.

The purpose of the fundraiser was to raise money to help remove barriers that might hinder a Glen Lake student’s learning. The foundation also works to meet any unfilled needs that might enrich or expand the student experience at Glen Lake Community Schools.

One hundred guests at the fundraiser gathered to bid on 63 silent and live auction items. With cooperative weather, patrons of the event enjoyed delicious food, drinks, musical entertainment and the shared purpose of giving for a great cause. The total raised at this year’s fundraiser was nearly $27,000.

“We simply can’t be more grateful to our donors and our patrons for making this evening a success,” Christie Randolph, Fundraiser chair, said. “We look forward to using this money to benefit students at Glen Lake.”

The Glen Lake Schools Foundation makes donations to the school throughout the year. Requests to the Foundation usually come from staff at the school. You can donate to the foundation at www.glenlakeschoolsfoundation. org.

Park Rangers will meet participants at the Shauger Hill Trailhead parking lot at 9 a.m. and will conclude at noon. The project will put the finishing touches on this year’s cleanup of Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive’s Lake Michigan Overlook. For more project details, go to: calendar event page.

There is no registration required, however, the project will be limited to the first 40 people to arrive. All children under the age of 18 are required to have an adult present during the event. Volunteers will receive free National Lakeshore entry for the day of the event.

National Trails Day is the nation’s largest trails event, with millions participating across the country, pledging to care for our public lands. National Trails Day is a great opportunity to get outside with friends and family and enjoy the park while helping to protect a special place.

Lebanon Valley College is located near Hershey, Pennsylvania.
