Ludington City Council Meeting, June 23, 2025: Ten Reasons Why You Should Hate City Hall (in one meeting)

The agenda packet of the Ludington City Council's last regular meeting before Independence Day on June 23, 2025, didn't give much hint of how repressive our local government has been over the last three years, but fortunately the council's actions, words, and the voice of the citizens…See More

Bizarre Bill That Would Expand Government Secrecy Passes Michigan Senate

Michigan State Senator Veronica Klinefelt (pictured below) has had to deal intimately with the Open Meetings Act (OMA) during a career which goes back to her stints as city councilor and county commissioner in Macomb County.  The OMA requires meetings of public bodies like those to be open to the public; to require notice, the keeping of minutes of meetings, and allow for comments from the general public.  As a Michigan senator, she wanted to "improve" on the OMA as early as 2023.…See More

Puritan Witch Hunts of Mason County: McLain and Lucht

In American tradition, the most serious crimes one could assign against individuals had obvious victims targeted by the criminals.  Admittedly, in our distant pre-revolutionary past we had our variations from such a principal, the Salem witch trials come to mind, where innocent women suffered at the hands of an unjust legal process.  The concept of a witch hunt lives on to this day to describe situations where some people are unfairly arrested, arraigned and adjudged in the name of justice. …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.

    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.
