News from the week included a story on Leelanau native Alisha Glass helping to lead Penn State to the National Volleyball title. We also had a story on a special preview screening of Rich Brauer's new film Mr. Art Critic at the State Theater, news that Bingham Township is considering ways to boost agricultural tourism and a link to the Winter 2008 edition of the Beechnut Review from Leland School.
