XLFD replied to Jake O'Brien's discussion Drug Problem
"A simple but good question to ask.  If you look at the most basic abused drug, alcohol is readily available at well over a dozen establishments in the downtown, not to mention a business specializing in same just east of the city limits. …"

Drug Problem

What is being done about the drug problem in Ludington? Whenever I open the paper all I see are drug arrests... Does the local law enforcement have a plan?  See More

"That old school building will always hold a place in my heart, since I was in the last sixth grade class to be at the building in use, but I fear the last few decades with deteriorating roofs have opened it to being a money pit should attempts at…"

"Thanks for that excellent post X. A true trifecta in my opinion. I am pleased to see some action on the old school building but the amount of money to bring it back would probably break Scottville's  budget. $200,000 is not a lot of money…"

"I don't use any of these big social media sites but from what I have read, Bluesky is a haven for the Leftist who have their heads screwed on backwards. Some of the more prominent names on Bluesky shown below proves my point. Mark Hamill posted…"

"Correct, and when a public body is called upon to make many of their decisions, they have been indoctrinated to listen to the corporate attorney rather in their own common sense.  This was a train wreck in the making and City Attorney Mark…"

Appointments and Disappointments of the Scottville City Commission

Scottville Commission Shatters Democracy, Process, and the Democratic ProcessUnbelievably dysfunctional is all I can say after having sat through last night's commissioner meeting in Scottville.  But I'm compelled to say more, as that's what I do.  This reporter had written a comment for the beginning of the meeting to be read before that public body, but as someone who lives outside the city, I worried that my words would push them closer towards the disaster they seemed content in pursuing…See More

"You are correct about the rehab on the course; this will be more of a rehab on the property and the Jaycees become eligible for such grant because they are effectively leasing their property from the COL.  The presentation starts at 40 minutes…"

"What would the Ludington Jaycee's $600,000 request for improvements be? Didn't the mini golf location a few years ago get a complete rehab? What happens to the income generated by the players ? I would suggest a complete look into their…"

Official Guide to the November 25 Meetings of Ludington/Scottville Public Bodies

The public policy of the Ludington Torch is to serve as the guiding light for public officials scrambling around in the darkness, whether that darkness has been imposed by their prior or forthcoming actions/policy.  Sometimes we serve as messengers, sometimes we serve as parliamentarians, but almost always we serve as a cattle prod for those officials who stray from the herd of their constituents or their constitutions.  On Monday, November 25, 2024, we had the opportunity to serve as an…See More

I WISH I KNEW HOW TO QUIT YOU (X)

When Donald Trump won the 2024 election, some were quick to flee.  While the financially secure have the option of fleeing the country, others are “stuck” in the US trying to find their personal escape.  Some found it with Bluesky.  A new social media app that has seen its subscribers increase at an astonishing rate.It’s possible the increase in subscribers had to do…See More

    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…
