EDITOR: Dan Young, there are no recordings of phone calls of President Trump. Several people listen and record, by writing, what is said. The Oval Office used to be recorded until Nixon. You might have heard about that. I heard a friend of mine who knew someone who overheard a ...
Dear Delta County Residents: Presently, we are in a critical race to collect 340,000 Michigan signatures to stand for the unborn, once a heartbeat can be detected. The Michigan Heartbeat Coalition has been very successful, but we must continue to gather another 100,000 registered voter’s ...
EDITOR: It is understandable that a business will avoid a loss. That must be the case with college games and even the NFL. Why not us enjoying the singing of the National Anthem, or with our huge colleges a chance to see and hear their beautiful band presentations! There are commercials ...
EDITOR: I am writing because I believe it would be of service to the American people if Donald Trump allowed the truth to be told in the Ukrainian matter. Mr. Trump and his lawyers and Republican allies claim that the House Impeachment hearings are a “sham,” based upon “gossip” and ...
EDITOR: At the Escanaba Township Zoning Board meeting Monday night, Nov. 4, 2019, a ad hoc committee was chosen. Out of 17 applicants, only 14 were present to be interviewed, one of the people chosen has never been to a meeting dealing with the issue and was not in attendance Monday evening ...

EDITOR: Representative Beau LaFave’s recent photos posted on Social Media are being called insensitive and racist according to an article in Michigan Advance. One photo depicts a meme where Governor Gretchen Whitmer murders the state budget. The other shows LaFave posing with thumbs up next ...
EDITOR: Recently the mayor talked about the “legacy” that the current Escanaba City Council may be remembered for (the proposed hotel on the old jail property). It may be your legacy Mr. Tall, but I don’t think in the way that you believe it to be. When one looks at the proposed hotel ...
EDITOR: After several months of political confusion, the Michigan Court of Claims rejected State Attorney General Dana Nessel’s attempt to stop the Line 5 project authorized by the legislature and the previous governor. Regardless, she has appealed the rejection despite public calls to drop ...
EDITOR: It was a Halloween-esque evening. Dark clouds. Rustling leaves. Chilly. I live on South 14th Street. We had several neighbors in the yard with their goodies for the kids — it was a trifecta. Not to mention a friend (David) who always comes sliding by with his high-class goodies to ...
EDITOR: We must have some older or new kids in my neighborhood on South 14th as this is the first time pumpkins have been assaulted in my yard in 32 years...not once, but two nights in a row...and the third night was in my neighbor’s yard. It’s uncool to trespass into someone’s property ...
EDITOR: Do I have to do my homework? No (not said sarcastically), you get to. Want to go to college? Get a scholarship? Have a great career? Support a family? Then, you get to study, clean the garage, work a weekend shift, etc. There is a guy I see in town about four times a year and when ...

EDITOR: It doesn’t take one person to make a difference in a community it takes many. I believe in helping build up a community with a helping hand, a voice, and an ear. We can do so much together and all it takes is the willingness to work together for the greater good of Escanaba. Do i ...
EDITOR: Considering that K-12 public schools throughout Delta County operate on shrinking budgets every year and can’t pass sinking fund millages, why does Bay College believe it’s entitled to a 20-year millage increase, taxpayer funded, bottomless cookie jar? While Escanaba Area ...
EDITOR: Senior citizens who are property owners in Delta County, please be aware that in the upcoming election on Nov. 5, Bay College is asking for a millage increase of .8924 mills for the next 20 years. This in addition to the current 3.3076 mills that we currently give Bay College. This is ...
