THE LEELANAU Christian Neighbors Blessings in a Backpack (BiaB) program got a financial boost last week in the form of a $10,000 donation from the Suttons Bay-Leelanau County Rotary Club. Pictured, from left, are Haylee Fisher, BiaB program manger, club treasurer Mike Fleischman and president John Bevington.
Mike Talliard, Democratic candidate for the 35th State Senate Seat, did not attend the debate. He was notified and asked to attend the Oct. 11 event by former Leelanau Enterprise publisher Alan Campbell shortly after the Primary election, but an email explaining the format to candidates went to the wrong address.
Voters in the Glen Lake Community School District will go to the polls next month to decide the fate of a request for renewal of an extra-voted millage on non-homestead properties.
Write-in candidates for the Nov. 6 election are sought to fill five seats on the Suttons Bay Board of Education.
Incumbents Steve Hall and Kim Eike are not seeking re-election. Their terms expire Dec. 31.
Just two candidates are on the ballot for three 4-year seats available at the end of the year.
