Request not appreciated Editor; Apparently, my asking for an accounting of what actually came out of White Pine Mine over its lifetime, was not appreciated by some of our (Ontonagon) county commissioners at their monthly meeting, which is open to the public. Additionally, I told them that we need a smelter here at White Pine. Also, whatever was sent out to be processed elsewhere, especially the 'mud' at the bottom of the tank in the tank house, should be processed here. Forget shipping those jobs to Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, Tennessee, or anywhere else!!  None of this was ...

Navy Street Extension Saga seems to be heating up Editor, The Hancock City Manager at one time was heard to say something to the effect of excusing herself from decision making on the Navy Street extension issue. However even now, the Mayor, Hancock City Council and DDA Members seemed to have all lost their administrative independence and ability to think, reason and act as individuals, and are ruling based upon the will of the Hancock City Manager. That mind set obviously took a change in direction beginning at the April 15th 2026 City Council meeting. The issue of spending DDA ...

Keweenaw Week is sponsored by the Copper Country Rock and Mineral Club each year. Mineral Days was run by Michigan Tech, and has not been active for some time.

Made in God's Image To the Editor: The idea that humans are made in the image of God comes from Genesis 1:27 of the KJV Bible which states, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Thus both equally possess an eternal spirit capable of personal fellowship with their Creator. Men and women share all spiritual attributes not shared by animals, i.e., moral conscience, appreciation of beauty, abstract thought, and especially the capacity to worship and love God. The framework of the United States Constitution assumes a ...

CORRUPT MONEY IN THE MICHIGAN ELECTIONS Editor: The amount of money that has been spent for one candidate, Haley Stevens, is almost $30 million by AIPAC, just for one candidate! Other candidates in Michigan are also receiving ridiculous funds also, and other funds from the Devos family such as John James and others! The average voter cannot afford spending money for candidates when they are surviving to pay their bills! Since the Supreme Court decision of Citizens United of 2010, which said corporations are like people, so our elections have become a sham of "dark money" that is ...
