These concerned citizens argued that fast, two-way traffic coming along this narrow road between M-204 and Concord Street could pose a danger to these children living here. 04/17/2024 05:24 PM

Tax fraud reported
Some scammers appear to be making the most of Tax Day by posing as governmental units looking to collect debts allegedly owed to the county or state in letters addressed to Leelanau County residents. One fraud attempt that was reported to the county sheriff’s office between April 10-11 threatens to impose fines, revoke social security benefits, and suspend licenses if an alleged debt numbering in the thousands of dollars goes unpaid within just a few days of the mark receiving the letter. 04/17/2024 05:24 PM

The 2024 St. Mary senior class
The 2024 St. Mary senior class recently returned from a mission trip in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Students spent time at Golden House, a comprehensive domestic violence program.

Students also prepared a meal for a family, visited the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion, where the Blessed Mother appeared in 1859, and hiked through a nature center. Above, St. Mary seniors pose in front of Golden House, a domestic violence facility in Green Bay, Wisconsin. 04/17/2024 05:24 PM
