Recall elections have been scheduled for two Leelanau County communities, the village of Northport and Elmwood township. The contests will appear on a May 2 ballot along with school elections.

In Elmwood, John Stanek, a former Elmwood trustee ousted in the 2004 election, filed the petition to recall current Supervisor Deri Smith. Noel Flohe, a former supervisor who was defeated by Smith in the same election gathered the most signatures.

In Northport, the recall turns around the question of a proposed municipal sewer system, says this piece in the Record-Eagle.
