The Glen Arbor community, family and friends, and the braintrust of the Glen Arbor Sun newspaper are devastated by the sudden passing, Aug. 16, of H. Michael Buhler, who died of a heart attack. He was 57 years young.

At the age of 18, musician Luke Woltanski has attained several significant accomplishments: Named one of Plainwell High School’s “Top 16 of 2016,” the Allegan County native and seasonal Glen Arbor resident graduated this spring with a 4.0 grade point average; was a National Honor Society member; Academic All-State varsity swimmer; and member of the internationally renowned Kalamazoo Children’s Chorus. He heads to Hillsdale College this fall, with plans to major in pre-med and possibly minor in musical theater. Oh, and in his theoretical spare time, he has created three albums of original alternative folk music, with a fourth in progress — on which he sings and plays a wide variety of instruments — that he recorded and mastered himself, and now sells through the Glen Lake Artists Gallery, iTunes, cdbaby.com, Amazon and Spotify.

The Fine folks at Leelanau Coffee Roasters are “Giving Back” to the community this Friday, Dec. 19, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., with a Customer Appreciation Day combined with a fundraising effort for the Empire Area Community Emergency Fund and the Empire Food Bank.

The most beautiful place in America … the second healthiest nationwide, with the best beaches and chocolate … an epicurean and film destination. How about one more feather for the cap? Leelanau County could become a prime bicycle destination too.

The windstorm that hit Leelanau County this week was the strongest storm ever to hit the continental United States, rivaling the pressure of tropical storms and surpassing the winds that doomed the famed Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975 in Lake Superior.
