Safety on the “Bridge to Nowhere” Grant Parsons wrote an articulate column in opposition to the proposed Traverse City pier at the mouth of the Boardman River. He cites issues such as limited access, lack of parking, increased congestion, environmental degradation, and pork barrel spending of tax dollars. I would add another to this list: public safety...

Vote Carefully A recent poll showed 84% of Michiganders support increasing Michigan’s renewable energy standard to at least 20% from the current 10%. Yet Representative Ray Franz has sponsored legislation to eliminate the standard. This out of touch position is reminiscent of Franz’s opposition to the Pure Michigan campaign and support for increased taxes on retirees....

Credit Where Credit Is Due I think you should do another article about the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund giving proper credit to all involved, not just Tom Washington. Many others were just as involved...

I’ve Changed My Mind The Supreme Court has determined that states cannot keep same-sex couples from marrying and must recognize their unions. This has happened with breathtaking suddenness. It took 246 years for Americans to decide that slavery was wrong and abolish it, but it’s been only a couple of decades since any successful attempt was made to legalize same-sex marriage, and four years since a majority of the American public supported legalization...

Altan Celebrates St. Patrick’s at Interlochen

Music Kristi Kates The only girl in the boys’ club that is the Irish folk music group Altan, Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh isn’t complaining.

A Courageous Stance Thank you Stephen Tuttle for your courageous and excellent editorial about the LGBT community. I appreciated, too, your willingness to delve into the biblical roots of this prejudice... and expose it for a sham, as it truly is.

Laughter The Best Weapon The “Saturday Night Live” skit featured Dakota Johnson playing a high school graduate apparently heading off to her first year of college and saying goodbye to her dad.

An Educational Monster I would like to respond to Mr. Tuttle’s column in this week’s Express regarding Common Core. I’m not sure where he is getting his information, but most of it is incorrect.

What’s Just? Apparently as proven by the acceptance of Jered Ottenwess’s resignation, one can allegedly perform domestic abuse during a drunken binge and receive three months of pay and benefits from the City of Traverse City.

Make Your own!

Features Jodee Taylor The Whiskey High proof, un-aged liquor — clear and straight from the still — is needed. Grand Traverse Distillery sells 100 proof un-aged spirits. Harmon recommends going no higher than 125 proof, but liquor up to 151 proof can be found. At the end of the aging process, the spirits’ proof will have risen.

It’s All About the Corned Beef

Features Bridgette Steele By Bridgette Steele Corned beef isn’t for the Irish. Or, at least, it wasn’t for Ireland. In 1668, corned beef was Ireland’s number one export. While the meat could be acquired cheaply off the island, within the country itself, it was priced as a luxury good.

Un-Jolly Green Giant

Music Ross Boissoneau He also notes the difficult work of costuming such a disparate cast. “Teter Orthotics is doing the masks for Shrek, Fiona and others,” Nichols said. The process involves creating a plaster cast of the actors’ heads so the resulting silicone masks are crafted to the shape of each individual.
