" 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…"
"Thanks X for more insight and info. Seems Hand is a pit bull to defend LE at any cost and disregard to law, justice and fairness. I pray your boldness to try her on this shakes the whole system of corruption in Ludington.

"I could have gone after the sheriff for failure to produce these when asked (recalling this earlier article where he denied the report and bodycams) but he was acting under the Hand of the prosecutor, who also supplies legal advice for…"
"You (and the people) and the plaintiff deserve a lot more than $1000 for this refusal of McProsecutor (and Cole knowingly though his curt "final" reply) to withhold and not disclose the body cams at the arrest of O'Connel. McSO and…"

- X, I am unable to edit my comments and cannot attach a photo or video to my comments. I don't know if it's my computer or if it's has something to do with the forum. Just wondering if anyone else is having a problem.

Louise, in the upper right corner of the main page you will see your name and an "inbox (1 new)" link under it. Click on that and you'll see a message from me. Click on that, and then reply in that same space. This will be private messaging between you and me. I will use my resources to try and verify your claims; our sheriff's office is remarkably cloaked in secrecy (more so than the COL) since KIm Cole assumed the position of sheriff.

Sure hope to hear these names! Bullies need exposed!

- I’m not sure how to message you, other than this way...sorry not good with computers. I have no evidence or proof. I’m sorry I wish I knew how to verify the claims all I can tell you is the names of the officers I heard about

- Ive heard that a local corrections officer got fired for sleeping with an inmate while on duty and another got fired for falsifying his time card, also A deputy Sargent recently got demoted. What is going on at our local sheriffs office and why is none of this being reported?

- I'm curious about something and have not been able to find an answer. I'm hoping you may know the answer. Is it 'usual practice' to use a person's full name in the body of an op-ed?

- Idk how to use this site sorry but hopefully you could help or point me the right way
