LEELANAU HISTORY
LEELANAU HISTORY
Enrollment has a totally different significance for local educators in a Post- Proposal A world. And a recent trend with schools graduating more seniors than they welcome in kindergarten has some school district leaders concerned. An estimated 1,678 students are expected by leaders in the county’s four K-12 districts, down about 2% from this time last year and 6.9 percent lower than 2016. *** Carl Noonan wasn’t sure what he would see working at Grumpy’s Market on Sunday. Sunday was the inaugural Ironman 70.3 Traverse City Triathlon. Two of the three events, the swim and running race, were held in Traverse City. But, the 56-mile bicycle course ran through Traverse City, Grand Traverse, Benzie and Leelanau counties. It used both Cedar Run Road and M-72, the major east-west routes used by Leelanau County citizens to get into and out of Traverse City and parts south. 08/28/2024 10:35 PM

Rosie, former mayor in Polka Parade
Congratulations to the organizers and volunteers at this year’s Cedar Polka Fest! Omena’s former Mayor, Rosie Disch, had a lot of fun as the grand marshal at the Cedar Polka Fest Parade Saturday. Her driver, Matt Bresinski, was wonderful to her and made sure she had plenty of air conditioning in the heat. She wore her pink Dolly Parton cowboy hat, and the crowd loved it. Many thanks to Mary Clark and her daughter Susan Todd for convincing Rosie that she absolutely should wear it, and to Kanda McKee for replacing the elastic band with a much more comfortable ribbon. 08/28/2024 10:35 PM
