Letter to the Editor

Editor: When we moved to the Copper Country 50 years ago, I called the Gazette office to subscribe to this newspaper, and when I asked when the TV schedule was published, the clerk said, “Oh - that came out yesterday, but I’ll put one in your mailbox on my way home.” I decided right away that this was an unusually friendly place. The diversity of people who live here is another blessing of this community. Thanks to our history and university, people of many colors, cultures, classes, and faith traditions live here. With the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community nearby, we remember the ...

Letter to the Editor

In a November 2024 letter to the editor I was wrong when I said that we can hope the UP is largely insulated from Washington, DC. The Trump administration implemented a slash and burn method of making governmental cuts in spending. President Trump placed Elon Musk in his new Department of Government Efficiency. In DOGE, Musk sent out thousands of termination letters to governmental employees. Letters included the notion that people were terminated due to incompetency. In reality, these folks are honest, hard-working Americans who had excellent performance reviews. Ottawa National ...

Keweenaw County v. Law-and-Order Granny

Get ready, the Kangaroo Court’s about to convene, To stick it to Granny, who’s bold and serene. She dared to demand that the Roos play it fair, While they passed zoning laws with no record to share. The Roos saw her as a menace, a rebel so bold, Her crochet hook in hand, defiance untold. So they schemed and they plotted, three more to install, Waiting for their chance to make Granny fall. But their plan got too reckless, egged on by the loud, Two chairmen and staff feeling strong and proud. Yet Granny, so wise, knew something smelled strong, As they flaunted the ...

Remember the Good News

To the Editor, On November 8, 1923, about 3000 people met in a beer hall in Munich, Germany, to organize an attempt by the Nazi Party to overthrow the state government of Bavaria, as a first stage in taking over the government of Germany. This event is known as the Beerhall Putsch. Leaders that day include some well-known names: Adolph Hitler, Hermann Goring, Rudolph Hess, and Heinrich Himmler. In the battle with the city police, 15 of the rioters were killed, as were 4 police officers. Hitler and other leaders of the putsch were arrested and imprisoned for a short time. Hitler and the ...

America has many problems

It’s difficult to prioritize America’s current problems. The border crisis is right up there. Also the two assassination attempts on Donald Trump were jaw dropping. Below I’ve listed three of them. 1. The soon arrival of the Antichrist was pre-announced at the Summer Olympics. He even rode on his predicted white horse. How do I know? Because of the debauchery of the entire event. God, Jesus and Christians were denigrated. Jesus was portrayed by an obese homosexual at the Last Supper. Around the world, Christians rightfully changed the channel. But, the globalists were ...

Thank you Garrett Neese

In the fall of 2003, a young man fresh out of Arizona State University, began his journalism career. Rather than returning to his native eastern Washington state nor staying in The Grand Canyon State, he ventured to Michigan’s Copper Country and becames a reporter for the Daily Mining Gazette. In the two-plus decades that Garrett Neese has been a part of the DMG and our community as a whole, he has made an incredible impact. First and foremost as a journalist. Garrett reported each and every story assigned to him, whether it be a quadruple murder trial or a senior citizens holiday ...
