Ludington, MCC School Board Meetings, October 21, 2024: Jeers and Cheers

For the last school board meetings of the Ludington Area School District (LASD) and Mason County Central (MCC) District before what will be an election that will have ten candidates looking to fill five board seats, the affairs turned out to be non-controversial and apolitical.  Half of the candidates did not even show up and those that did, incumbent or not, did nothing to promote their causes or themselves.  LudingtonThe …See More

"Did I miss something? Did the teachers have anything to say about the kids. Was anything mentioned regarding the sex training books that were being promoted. Those books about gay sex and masturbation?  Or the woke agenda that's creeping…"

"Good points on the drinking and smoking situation which shows just how goofy some of these elected officials can be. The green cremation is bizarre. Why not just promote a Soylent Green ordinance. That would go nicely with some of the hair brained…"

"Thanks, Rom, I appreciate your validation, even though I admit some limitations to the analysis that were pointed out by Willy.  Conservatively, I would say about 2/3 of the teachers are mostly dissatisfied with the status quo, and yet the…"

(THIS) FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

High School football is nearing its end of season.  Mason County Central earned a berth in the playoffs with their sixth win last Friday at Spartan Community field.   Ludington unfortunately ran into Whitehall and has yet to secure their sixth win.  With Oakridge and Montague taking a step back Whitehall has emerged as the West Michigan Conference Lakes division bullies.  Fear not Ludington, you’ll punch your ticket this Friday at Muskegon Orchard View.  Mason County will be on the road to…See More

With early voting and the mailing of ballots already underway in our area it is prudent to offer our version of an election guide.  If you have received a ballot in the mail, as many have, consider…Continue

    Migration Update

    The elves of the Ludington Torch were hopeful that we could move from our current Ning 2.0 network to the Ning 3.0 network shortly after our five year anniversary, but we have got news from them back that they are not currently doing any new migrations to the higher platform at this time.  We surmise that there has been problems with the migrations of other Ning sites, because some things do not transfer very well or at all, including videos and group modules. 

    As they continue to…

    Over the last couple of months our members have swelled due to an advertising push by those who join, post an ad, provide a link, and possibly send messages to other members advocating some product or action.  While these are basically harmless if you ignore them, the Torch tech wizards cannot fully protect against the intruders.  I have eradicated about two dozen of these infidels, and will make it a practice to do so in the future.

    Downloading Videos

    Want to download videos for a thread or just to add to our Videos library, but are having a hard time figuring it out?  It's not hard once you know how to do it.  First you will need the Video's "Embed" code; on a typical video site like Youtube they will have a "share" button you need to click, you will then see an "Embed" button you need to click.  You will see the code all in blue, you need to "copy" (as in copy and paste) this code by going to your copy command.

    Now go to the…
