HISTORY

5 YEARS AGO May 21, 2020

Memorial Day on the Leelanau Peninsula will look a little different this year, but folks still plan to honor those who died while serving their country. Gerald Culman, maintenance director for the Leelanau County Government Center, said the veterans memorial at the government center will still host a 21-gun salute and a performance of “Taps” on horn at 10 a.m. Monday, though no further ceremony will take place there this year. “It’s going to be very brief,” Culman added. *** The Leland Dam gate has been lowered nearly as far as it will go to cope with rising waters in Lake Leelanau and its watershed. Leelanau County maintenance director Gerald Culman said he opened the dam gate Monday morning after some 2-3/4-inches of rainfall was recorded Sunday night. The county-owned-and-operated dam in Leland’s Fishtown drains Lake Leelanau into Lake Michigan via the Leland River. Flooding was observed Monday in low-lying areas of all seven of Leelanau County’s 11 townships within the Lake Leelanau watershed.
