Delta County Board

EDITOR: This is a wakeup call to all residents of Delta County, Michigan. As you probably already know, three Delta County Board Commissioners, Robert Barron, David Moyle, and Robert Peterson, have conspired among themselves to do a forced annexation of approximately 19,000 plus acres from Escanaba Township to Cornell Township, which will have devastating effects on both townships. We know a petition had been circulated, however the facts were never fully explained. This annexation will take away almost 50% of the tax base for Escanaba Township and create a severe overload to Cornell ...

We the Uppers are different

EDITOR: One look at me and you can tell that I am an old Chinese woman. My classmates who also came to the USA in 1961 as exchange students are now all living in big cities in states like New York, California, and Illinois, and they keep warning me: “You’d better not go anywhere these days! We’re all staying home to play safe! Old Asian people are being attacked in various ways as a result of hatred!” I’ve been living in Bark River since 1982. This is what I’ve been confronting these days whether staying home or going out:The young gentleman from FedEx would carry my huge ...

Stumbling over crisis

EDITOR : As I listened to the State of the Union Address given by President Biden, I truly wanted to believe his words but deep down I knew I couldn’t for the following reasons: 1- President Biden devastated 13 families, then watched as Russian troops held a peaceful rally, Ukraine border expects bowing Putins. When violence broke out. Now we now stand with Ukraine. 2- Our x-border Northern controlled by China. Southern by agent of China Cartels. 3- Groceries, gas, heat, propane, electricity, cleaning supplies and pet food have become a brutal slap to the face. 4- President ...

School shooting

EDITOR: Another school shooting and the liberals immediately gush out the standard propaganda which must contain words like “assault weapon” and phrases like “how many children…” and “when will the Republicans…” This is all expected and continues to promote false descriptions and impressions. What was left out of the news reports and White House briefing was such truths as “occurred in a ‘gun-free’ zone” and “another case of black-on-black violence”… had this happened in Chicago it would be called “just another weekend”!! Biden’s press secretary ...

Speed kills

EDITOR: It has become a major problem. There are speed limits. Those are not suggestions. When you are joyriding down Ludington Street by the cemetery at 45 and 50 miles per hour, you should get a ticket. Once you leave the stop light at 5th Avenue North going toward the fairgrounds, there is no prize to the first pick up that makes it. And then you get between Escanaba and Gladstone, if you are not going at least 65, you’ll get run over. It is like a drag strip. I’m asking drivers to slow down. I’m asking for the public safety officers and sheriff’s deputies to start ...

Putting stress on our children

EDITOR: A transgender teen in Denver was responsible for a school shooting there. The Abeerdeen Maryland mass shooting that killed three and wounded two was committed by a transgender. Last year’s nightclub shooting in Colorado Springs that left five people dead and 25 injured was committed by a non-binary person. Of course, the recent school shooting in Nashville was perpetrated by yet another transgender (or “gender-confused” as some media is reporting) individual. All of these individuals had severe mental health issues, obviously this is the reason behind their actions, not ...
