Issues Concerning the Proposed Finance Director: Terry Grams' Letter to the Ludington Daily News Editor
Terry Grams is a seasoned and reasoned citizen in our Ludington community who asks the right questions about the proposal under consideration by Ludington electors establishing the office of Finance Director and changing multiple sections of the charter in order to extract the duties the clerk currently has into the new office. He has condensed these down into nine points with his observations, relevant questions and legal research, finding that the city's intentions, whatever happens at the…See More

Along Came Long, Lean Lanky Jones... on the MCP
Yesterday, just before noon, I went to the local district court and received my fourth criminal arraignment in the last three years. Each of these arraignments have originated from the Ludington Police Department (LPD) and have been eagerly accepted by Mason County Prosecutor Beth Hand. The actions that led to the four arraignments:-- walking peacefully through an open public park during the middle of the day-- standing peacefully outside a city hall door doing nothing-- being in a public…See More

November 2026 Mason County Voting Guide
The semiannual Ludington Torch November Voting Guide involved quite a bit of searching through the layers of the internet in order to get information out to county voters (and beyond). These guides have become more difficult to get out since the state mails a lot of ballots out in the middle of September and a significant number of people are making their decisions before they've seen their choices debate or otherwise campaign in earnest. We fondly reminisce about the good old days when the…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…
