Give the CIty Credit for Dodging Public Record Requests

After three decades of serving as the county administrator, Fabian Knizacky is set to retire on February 1st.  Our best remembrance of Knizacky would be that he was always able to respond quickly to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and never charged a dime for the service.  In this way he was much like Scottville City Attorney Tracy Thompson, who advised his city's city managers that charging the public for FOIA requests was counterproductive.  Such gestures show that their public…See More

"Again we see why the Mason County Press cannot be trusted to be an unbiased news agency. Good luck to the citizens of Scottville. I like your idea woodsman."

"Reducing city services in the short term seems to be a better idea than eliminating a service seen to have value and frequently mentioned in the city code and even the city charter; I like your option.  Alway has very little integrity left, and…"

Scottville's Minister of Propaganda

On January 7, 2025, Rob Alway in the Mason County Press (MCP) came out with an article telling us that Scottville's police department comes at a high price to taxpayers.  Subtitled: "As the City Commission faces a nearly $500,000 deficit, one of its police officers is one of the highest paid cops in the county", it went on to tell us about the…See More

President Donald J. Trump Signs Executive Orders on Day One of Administration

"It's amazing how he interacts with the media while he signs some very significant executive orders, all of whose effects will put America and Americans first.  I love the signal of the 1500 full pardons and six commutations at the head of…"

The Partisan Fog Enshrouding the Truth

On the night before a dramatic regime change in the United States, we urge media and citizens who depend on politically-stilted resources to do their own fact-checking before they present their political opinions based on faulty premises in front of everyone else.  A recent letter from a local triggered our inner editor, and inspired us to write this piece and publish it to show how fake narratives have divided our country, and why we should never publish such misinformation unless your only…See More

Sayonara Shinblind

You may have heard of the deaths this year of Bob Uecker and David Lynch, two eccentrics of the sportscasting and director fields, but this last week hit closer to home, we lost a longtime contributor to the Ludington Torch who first joined us back in 2014:  Shinblind.…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…
