Remembering Dr. Kyle Corlett

It hasn't been a great school year for former Ludington Area School District (LASD) Superintendent Dr. Kyle Corlett pictured below).  It started out fine; he didn't even have "former" as part of his name at that point.  His only problem seemed to be with a lingering issue of achieving a viable contract with the teacher's union, the Ludington Education Association (LEA). …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.

    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.
