"What? How on Earth can a small burg like Scottville be $500,000 in the hole. That poor town needs to do some soul searching and then hire an auditor to figure out what went wrong. This would be the equivalent of Grand Rapids coming up short…"

Time to Step Up for Scottville
By this time, citizens of Scottville are getting numbed by the instability at city hall, with their city officials playing musical chairs over the last few years and may expect the worst now that the dust has cleared, a budget shortfall of about half a million has appeared and the former mayor and mayor pro tem has quietly galloped away into the sunset. At the November 11, 2024…See More
"Nope. No doctoring. The only way I can explain the difference is that the wind was out of the SW so the smoke to the right was actually much closer than the smoke to the left.
The picture below has the same variations in darkness. It might be the…"
"Wow, the black smoke is looking denser the further it gets away from the ship, you sure there is no doctoring going on with that picture? Speaking of doctors, the ordinance as noted indicates only the negative health effects of secondhand…"
"Thanks, X for the information regarding the Council meeting. I think your take on the smoking ban is accurate. It makes no sense banning smoking outdoors surrounded by fresh air. Anyone who has been at the beach during fourth of July celebration…"
"With limited information, I think your view is very perceptive, Willy. I discussed this case with the mother of the victim, Denis Preka, and chatted with the father on social media. They believe the current prosecutor and assistant have been…"
"If the records exonerate her then why is that not reported in the news and why hasn't she taken legal action against those that accused her of wrong doing? If that were me I would not rest until my name was cleared. Sorry, it just doesn't…"
Ludington City Council Meeting, November 11, 2024: Where There's Smoke...
A look at the agenda packet of the 11-11-2024 Ludington city council meeting shows no true action items, but then one looks at the video of the meeting and sees it lasted over 72 minutes, indicating that citizens may have co-opted the agenda, and they did. Of note, it was the first meeting where the new Ludington City Manager Kaitlyn Aldrich took her seat.Other than a proclamation recognizing poll workers near the meeting's end, they would have another…See More
"Willy, the judge isn't lying, she was ruling on good faith based on the lies told her by APA Keast and his boss, Karen McDonald. The court records do exonerate Hand; specifically, the date/time stamp of the police report Keast alleged Hand…"
"thanks for the information X."
"According to McDonald's statement, the judge found that a serious Brady violation had been committed. So was the judge also lying? The Court record's should prove what actually happened. If Hand is innocent of the charge then all she would…"
"In today's Detroit News they have a statement by Beth Hand, apparently saying that "I have never withheld evidence in my entire life, and I never would do that. I take my integrity very seriously; I have no idea why I would be…"
"McDonald is a liar and has never provided a shred of proof that Beth Hand withheld evidence. Beth Hand saw a screenshot of an alleged Snapchat that was allegedly from the defendants account. It was nothing more than third party hearsay that was by…"

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.

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…
