In response to the COVID-19 threat, Leelanau UnCaged, Northport’s popular September street festival, is caging up for 2020 and postponing until next year. Scheduled for September 26 this year, the 8th annual Leelanau UnCaged will instead unfold on September 25, 2021. “Our team of volunteers had a terrific day planned but, for the sake of safety and security, we’ll just postpone it a year, making it even better for 2021, ” said Sandy Dhuyvetter, director of Leelanau UnCaged. *** First responders can’t work at home during the coronavirus pandemic. Their job is on the front lines, in harm’s way. “My biggest concern is bringing it home to my family,” said TJ Sterzer of Cleveland Township, a newly sworn deputy with the Leelanau County Sheriff’s Office. “I understand at work it’s inevitable to be in contact with the public. So we take every situation
as though people have been infected with COVID-19.”
