"I like the idea but if cities consider purchasing these mini jet ski's why not by the real thing. Then the life guard can scoot out with the machine. A jet ski is faster, can carry a person to help and can carry other life saving equipment."

The Ludington Torch has failed to provide a recap of the June 10, 2024 Ludington City Council meeting and part of the reason for this (other than it being summer) was that two issues at the meeting…Continue

Lifeguard EMILY Comes to Our State's Western Shores
Your athletically-challenged son might be the go-to guy for the local robotics team (the Award-winning Ludington O-bots) today, but would you be surprised that he could also be the next local hero tomorrow, rescuing a struggling swimmer from the riptides of Stearns Beach?This isn't part of a daydream; the future of lifesaving has arrived on the shores of Lake Michigan in the form of a remote-control…See More

The Trophy for Poorest Planned School Renovation Goes to LASD
The last time the Ludington Torch had a story featuring Ludington schools and trophies, it was an instant classic (The Return of the Trophy Girlfriend) with a little bit of everything including tragedy. This time it's mostly tragedy as the Ludington Area School District (LASD) has decided to throw away its links to past glory.…See More

The Twisted and Gnarled Ascendance of the Mighty Oakes
The Ludington Torch has failed to provide a recap of the June 10, 2024 Ludington City Council meeting and part of the reason for this (other than it being summer) was that two issues at the meeting came up that require analysis on their own merits, and the one that follows this paragraph was stalled so that we could review the proposed minutes available earlier this week.The surprise for the public was twofold at this meeting. During the time for councilor comments, Third Ward Councilor Jeanne…See More
2024 Ludington Gus Macker Successful
Since the last millennium, Gus Macker has been a June staple event in Ludington, engulfing not only Father's Day but also Stearns Beach and the southern part of Northern Lakeshore that borders it. This year there was a big difference in the event as it went from being effectively ran by the local chamber of commerce to a consortium of local businesses headlined by West Shore Bank, WMOM, and Dr. Andrew Riemer. The Ludington Torch was able to find time to visit the event over the weekend before…See More

Ludington's Deer Cull Has Its First Day in Court
On Thursday, June 13th, 2024, at 2:30 in the afternoon, a motion hearing took place to dismiss a case, and several Ludington celebrities were in attendance: City Manager Mitch Foster, Mayor Mark Barnett, Councilors Wally Cain and Kathy Winczewski, and future interim City Manager Jeanne Oakes. With such a cast in the audience, including myself, one would think that the issue involved was of monumental importance to the city, but all that would be determined this day would be whether a lawsuit…See More

- X, I am unable to edit my comments and cannot attach a photo or video to my comments. I don't know if it's my computer or if it's has something to do with the forum. Just wondering if anyone else is having a problem.

Louise, in the upper right corner of the main page you will see your name and an "inbox (1 new)" link under it. Click on that and you'll see a message from me. Click on that, and then reply in that same space. This will be private messaging between you and me. I will use my resources to try and verify your claims; our sheriff's office is remarkably cloaked in secrecy (more so than the COL) since KIm Cole assumed the position of sheriff.

Sure hope to hear these names! Bullies need exposed!

- Ive heard that a local corrections officer got fired for sleeping with an inmate while on duty and another got fired for falsifying his time card, also A deputy Sargent recently got demoted. What is going on at our local sheriffs office and why is none of this being reported?

- I'm curious about something and have not been able to find an answer. I'm hoping you may know the answer. Is it 'usual practice' to use a person's full name in the body of an op-ed?
