"I couldn't figure out a good answer to that question. Do any of our more seasoned readers know any extra Ludington gazebo lore to answer this?"

" Was the Gazebo at Cartier Park a look alike for the Gazebo at Peter Copeyon Park? If so they where build like tanks by a local contractor who also built the one at Loomis Street launch. If not then my point is useless but if they…"
A Revolution Began 250 Years Ago Today
In a recent proclamation by the 47th President of the USA, Donald John Trump, he commemorated this very important date in American history and for freedom in world history. From time to time, those who cherish freedom must fight tyrants who would take our liberties away. Those on the right side of history will say the people rose up in…See More
"That would be good advice, but I do have a reliable source who did not see the demolition but saw a dumpster filled with gazebo wood, so if it is in the backyard of a city official it's likely just gonna be firewood.
The $60,000 for this gazebo…"
"I believe when the city purchased the Gazebo it was quite expensive I believe more than $60,000. It was made out of weather resistant wood so it's hard to believe that it would be in such a deteriorated shape to be torn down because of a roof…"
The Vanishing Gazebo
Corrections Officer John Long led off public comment at the Ludington City Council's April 14, 2025 meeting with a bit of news, from our perspective. He had noticed that the gazebo overlooking Lincoln Lake out in Cartier Park had disappeared without a trace. Long indicated that when he tried to figure out what happened to the gazebo, he found (by sifting through the City's records) only that it was…See More
City's Raw Sewage Leaked, News of It Didn't
The public's health was put in danger last week by the City of Ludington's inability to get the word out and actually communicate with the community after a wastewater sewer main was ruptured. The incredible lack of transparency and concern for the public health and safety displayed by the City of Ludington (COL) in this instance should be laid squarely on the shoulders of the freshman City Manager Kaitlyn Aldritch (standing in picture below) who failed to own up to and get ahead of the…See More
"Thanks X for the reply. Jack Bulger is a start! Thank you Jack for standing up for what is right (in uncovering the wrong). At least it makes the other Counselors think there is more than blind one-sided cult-like voting together to cover the…"
"Your prayers were 14% successful, one councilor, Jack Bulger, realized that there was no legal rationale to paint over non-exempt footage. The other six, who never gave any indication that they even took a look at the edited footage, sided…"
"Prayers that City Council will review this with honest hearts and quit covering up such atrocities at taxpayer's expense."
The Privacy Duality of the LPD
On April 14th, the Ludington City Council will review and potentially decide a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) appeal based on what appears to be unlawful redactions of a police body cam video, recently received by the Ludington Torch after a protracted court battle with the City of Ludington (COL) over a pattern of unlawfully enacted FOIA fees in two schemes designed by Ludington City Attorney Ross "Sewage" Hammersley. This appeal is based on the principle that public records should be…See More
"What an incredible piece of history still sailing today! The S.S. Badger isn’t just a ferry—it’s a living tribute to a bygone era of travel. It’s amazing that it still operates with its original coal-fired steam engine,…"
""You are never wrong for doing the right thing" said Mark Twain.
But if we live in a corrupted community, certain corruptors may not appreciate what is right. You have a courage to wear that bullseye."
"History has its share of people who were persecuted, ostracized, and/or martyred. We view most as sympathetic, principled heroes. History is also replete with those who would kill martyrs, ostracize, and persecute. Villains…"

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…

Spammertizing
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…
