Ludington School Board, September 2026: A Facade of Hope

The board packet for the Sept. 21 meeting of the Ludington School Board was not impressive in a couple ways.  Primarily among these was its size; it consisted of two pages, an agenda and a page showing public comment rules.  If this was the packet of documents to be viewed by the board in making decisions on three items of new business, our first…See More

Ludington City Manager Shreds City Charter

Our nation and each of its component states have their own Constitution, rules that federal and state officials swear oaths to defend and affirm.  Officials of Home Rule Cities, like Ludington, are also required to take oaths to these, but they also swear allegiance to the (almost) immutable constitutions of their own municipality: the city charter. Charter provisions cannot be easily changed with a resolution or ordinance passed by a city council or commission; it requires a vote of the people…See More

Indecent Assessments of Ludington City Hall

The year 2026 is not only the 250th anniversary of the founding of our great country, primarily over disputes regarding taxation, but a year that may see the taxation of property owners in Ludington rise as a percentage in the double digits over the amount expected by inflation, an increase of about a million dollars above the amount with that expected rate of inflation over the last year. This would not be due to any decision made by the taxpayers; they will have no direct say in these…See More

Ears for Deers

It took me a couple of months of planning and organization after learning of the new law approving the feeding of wildlife on your own property (see related Ludington Torch article on the law's origin and implementation), but I've finally established a mechanism to feed the local deer population some good old Eastern Mason County corn.  …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…
