- After more than 130 years of regular worship, St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in Leelanau County will stop holding weekend Masses next month under a reorganization plan from the Diocese of Gaylord.
136 years ago, a church congregation took shape in Leelanau County. Since 1890, it was where the masses met for Mass.

- Description
- Pellston Public Schools says its electric buses struggled through Northern Michigan's harsh winter, but district leaders say the fleet is still saving money and reducing the need for future bus purchases.
Transportation officials said battery life dropped significantly during the coldest days of the season, but the district estimates the buses have saved more than $30,000 through reduced fuel costs and avoided vehicle purchases.
“It’s been a very difficult winter, but the buses have done well,” Pellston Public Schools Superintendent Stephen Seelye said.
The buses the superintendent of Pellston Public Schools is referring to are electric.
The district received its first set of buses in December 2022 thanks to a $2 million federal grant.

It's a debate that is popping up all across Northern Michigan: to allow a data center or not.

“Data centers have obviously been the hot issue throughout Michigan,” Citizens Research Council of Michigan President Eric Lupher said.
A hot issue, with communities and commissioners debating and discussing, often with a lot of division, confusion, and unanswered questions.
