News from the Week

This week saw the return of Sugar Loaf to the news with a report that Leelanau County is seeking stuimulus money to facilitate the resort’s redevelopment (Jason has nothing on the Loaf!). Other stories from the week included Gen Netxt, a new group for young professionals in Leelanau County (is it 4 U?), unfavorable reactions at plans to combine MSU Extension & Hort Research Station budgets and then slash them (agriculture is a bright spot, so the state of Michigan will try and kill innovation), a photo of the Glen Haven Canning Co., and the 2009 Boys & Girls Basketball District Tournaments (boys start next week).

    Girls District BB will start tonight at Northport. Leland plays Wednesday @ 7:30 vs winner with finals on Friday March 6th. I can’t find info on Suttons Bay and Glen Lake’s district – all I know is that they play in Kingsley!
