Royston, head of school at Leelanau Montessori Public School Academy, lost a 10-month battle against pancreatic cancer Friday morning. He was 47 years old. Royston moved to Bingham Township when he was selected as head of school at Montessori in August 2016. He had worked just 20 months at the school when he was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer in May of last year.But he fit a lot into those months. *** A Leelanau County resident whose Concealed Pistol License (CPL) was revoked by the county clerk after the resident was convicted of a misdemeanor is now suing the clerk for not reinstating the license. William J. Hendershot of Empire is suing Leelanau County Clerk Michelle Crocker and is asking 13th Circuit Court Judge Kevin Elsenheimer to issue an order that the clerk reinstate the license. Through his attorney, Philip L. Ellison of downstate Hemlock, Hendershot asserts that Crocker as well as Leelanau County Prosecuting Attorney Joseph Hubbell are misinterpreting state laws related to firearms licensing. The prosecutor provided an initial response to Hendershot’s complaint, indicating that the clerk was simply following state law. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM
