The Memorial Day Rolling Taps started in Northport in response to COVID. The annual service was not held that year, since people couldn’t gather.

Wax museum at St. Mary

Wax museum at St. Mary

St. Mary School fifth graders welcomed schoolmates and visitors May 9 to their interactive wax museum. Modeled after Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum in Washington, D.C., students posed in costume next to their chosen historical figures. The interactive wax museum had the goal of bringing historical figures and events to life through “wax” figures that visitors can see and hear. Once the “audio” button was pushed, the student came to life and shared a prepared speech about their chosen historical figure. The project began as students read a “Who Was…” book and studied the history of their chosen historical figure. They then composed a five-paragraph essay about their chosen figure before preparing their live presentation. Pictured here is Louis LaCross dressed at Franklin Roosevelt. 05/22/2024 04:45 PM

LEELANAU HISTORY

LEELANAU HISTORY

The obtrusive messaging sign outside Glen Arbor’s town hall is coming down. At its regular meeting Tuesday, the Glen Arbor Township Board approved removal of the infamous eyesore by a vote of 4-1, with the opposing vote coming from township supervisor Peter VanNort. The motion was made by trustee John Peppler and seconded by treasurer Lee Houtteman, after Houtteman updated the board on his investigation into the cost and logistics of various options to replace the sign to meet the size requirement of the township’s zoning ordinance, as agreed by the board at its recent special meeting. 05/22/2024 04:45 PM

Proposed law could impact short-term rentals

The Cleveland Township Board appeared to be getting ready to pass a new short-term rental (STR) ordinance at its May monthly meeting. That was until a woman identifying herself as Katy Bertodatto, vice president of the Michigan Short-Term Rental Association, alerted the board of a new effort in Lansing to pass a “short-term rental regulation act,” which caused the board to postpone action. 05/22/2024 04:45 PM
