To Spc. Michael Plaska, it was like tucking away a spiders web for safe keeping. He handled the tiny object in a very delicate, meaningful manner. Carefully holding the toy Superman action figure between his thumb and pointer finger, the 26-year-old soldier

broke into a boyish grin as he looked down at it. This is for Mike, Plaska said. Hell be with us, always. An 8-year-veteran of the National Guard, Plaska gathered with his fellow Bravo Troop Black Knights on Friday at the Manistee National Guard Armory

opportunity to prepare a balanced budget as required under state law. Since the previous proposal had expired this year the county tax allocation board met on Aug. 2 to review the millage rates for this proposal. Sitting on that board was Manistee County Treasurer Russell Pomeroy, Manistee County Commission Ways and Means Committee Chair Ervin Kowalski, Manistee Intermediate School District Representative Rita Curtis and Dennis Keleher, who was appointed by the Judge of Probate. On the board, but not attending that meeting were Central Dispatch director Jim Espvik and citizen Thomas Geoghan. They voted to bring it back to the voters with a five-year

proposal. A yes vote would mean the voter approves the renewal of the millage and the tax allocation board would not meet again for five years to discuss those rates. If it isnt approved it will mean that the tax allocation board would require the county, ISD and each individual township to submit an annual budget for the tax allocation board to review it every year, said Kliber. County officials said this would require a costly, time consuming process to be done every year by the tax allocation board. By having a fixed millage in place for the next five years, they said it allows them the opportunity to know exactly what they can expect in revenue from millage. That gives them a better

proposal with the same millage rates. Kliber said questions have come on the subject matter because absentee ballots are now available for the November election. She said people that are not going to be around or are unable to make it to the polls on election day can get a absentee ballot to vote in the November election. All the township and city clerks now have their absentee ballots and some like Arcadia Township have told me that people are already picking them up, said Kliber. Many people leave for Florida and warmer climates this time of the year. We have had some calls from people not understanding it and that is why we wanted to get some information out on it.

Airport officials moving forward HAVE A to find carrier replacement STORY IDEA?
By KEN GRABOWSKI
AssociAte editor
Manistee County Blacker Airport officials will readily admit they are much too familiar with the Essential Air Service (EAS) process. Over the course of the past several years it is something airport director Barry Lind and airport authority members have dealt with on several occasions after carriers left or stopped providing service to the local airport. When Frontier Airlines announced on Sept. 13 that they would be ceasing operations out of the Manistee County Blacker Airport as of March 8, 2012, it tossed the local airport officials back into process of seeking a new carrier. Manistee airport officials thought they were secure with carrier service until 2013. However, Frontier exercised a 180-day opt out option to terminate its local service only six months after it began serving Manistee. The reasons given by the airliner was it was part of bigger regional downsizing, and not due to the results they were getting from the local airport. What made the move even more frustrating to local officials was the fact that record number of passengers were utilizing Frontiers service. In most months they were exceeding the previous year by four times the passengers. Lind said the process is not one that will move along quickly. There is a set pattern of Department of Transportation (DOT) steps they must follow over the next several months. DOT has not put our service out for bids yet, said Lind. I would expect that to happen the first or second week of October, as it usually happens 30 days after this sort of thing takes place. Once the bids go out it typically is a 30-day response period, so that will take us to the first of November. Then the community has 30 days to give feedback to the DOT on the bids that are received, and the authority will make a recommendation on the carrier they would like to see provide service. That is followed up by another 30 days for the DOT to respond, so my expectation is it will be around the first of year when we get a new carrier. Local officials know that Manistee Blacker Airport is secure in having a carrier until March with Frontier should something push the process back slightly. Frontier officials have stated that they plan to retain the same level of quality service until that departure date. Lind said the DOT may have its hands full when it comes to EAS issues right now. This fall all nine EAS airports will be out bidding, so one of the things I am trying to do is coordinate if we can all work together or at least share information if not put out an organized response to a carrier, said Lind. I have extended my hand to a few of the carriers we had in the last round of bidding like Gulfstream Airlines and Charter Air Transport. I am also trying to get contacts for American Eagle and Sky West because they werent a part of the process last time, so I dont have contacts for them. The airport director said that he has also had conversations with the Department of Transportation about several issues of concern to the local airport. I want to make sure that when they release our numbers they release the most up-to-date passenger statistics because the official statistics out of the DOT are only until June of this year, said Lind. The big numbers we turned in during the summer months are not included. It will make it easier to communicate if the airlines already have that information, as opposed to trying to get that to them second hand. The DOT has that information available on the Michigan DOT website, so I pointed them to that site. Lind said that another subject matter he touched on was the average number of passengers that will be included in the bid specifications. I have asked them to increase the volume of passengers, as I am basically requesting that the minimum level of service that Manistee is able to accommodate be raised to a higher level, said Lind. When Great Lakes was here we had two round trips of 19 seats, so 38 passengers. In August of this year we were doing an average of 62 seats a day, so what we are asking is if someone with a 19-seat airplane applies they have to provide three flights a day. However, the DOT didnt give me a response on that request. Another aspect of the process that Lind says will be vital is after the bids arrive to get public input to the DOT. He said the amount of public input will greatly influence what the DOT decides.

of the big fundraisers for the school and over the course of 24 years they have raised about $1.4 million for Manistee Catholic Central schools. Racine said all of the money goes right back into the school to benefit the children. We dont have any paid staff and all of the money has gone to the students for technology, tuition and for the kids, said Fortier It is one of the reasons the students have taken a very active role in the fling by helping in a variety of ways. Racine said the feedback from that has indicated to them it is something the students really enjoy doing every year. We have a newsletter that comes out and they asked those alumni what they miss most about school and many of them say working on the fling, said Racine. Many of them come back to attend it after they get out of school and we actually have classes that come back and have their reunion that night as it gives them a chance to have a night with great food, music and dancing. They do say that there is a limit on the number of people they can hold that evening, but that tickets are still available and people can gain information by calling the school office at (231) 723-2529 or the Catholic Community Development office at (231) 723-2619.

If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is

Ken Grabowski
398-3125

If it sounds too good to be true then the odds are that is the case. What started me thinking about that old saying is the other day I received a call from a telemarketer who had a sweet deal for me that was just too good to be true. Many people think those special offers sound good on the outside, but the only problem is most people dont read, or ask about the little extra charges in small print. What many people dont realize is many of these sweet deals are only for a limited time, or the price they quote you doesnt include all the hidden costs. If you want to hear a lot stammering then just ask the cost at the end of the promotion period or what is the price that

Associate Editor

kgrabowski@pioneergroup.com

will be on your monthly bill. It sounds like a virtual Porky Pig reunion at that point with all the Beedeeb, beedeeb, thats all folks coming from the telemarketer. The odds are good that the final cost is usually is substantially higher. I have noticed that some costs on my utility bills are interesting because they never were mentioned when they were selling the package. A good example is when

I signed up for my phone service they told me my cost would be $20 a month. Sounds good doesnt it? Imagine my surprise when the first bill came and it was almost double that amount. Of course they didnt tell me was there is a Federal Access charge of $5.38 per month, bringing it up to $25.38. They also neglected to mention there were surcharges and fees for 9-1-1, billing for more than one city/counties, Michigan State E911, Federal Universal service fund, and the Michigan State Access fund. Dont believe it for a second that the federal government is lacking money because they also hit me for Federal Universal Service fee. However, that wasnt

the end of the Federal sticky fingers because they came back to tack on another 3 percent in federal tax. By the time it is all said an done my sweet $20 per month deal is now $38.60 a month, but its not just the phone bill. Its like that every time you turn around with countless hidden charges. When these telemarketers call they remind me of the old time tonic salesmen who want to sell you something that cures gout, stomach problems, arthritis and just about anything else that ails you. They give you the it slices, it dices and even starts your car on a cold morning routine to try and sell something. Sometimes its fun just to give them a hard time.

I had one guy guarantee he could get me Internet service for less than what I was paying. I asked him if would give it to free if he was wrong. When he asked what I was paying, I said nothing, I dont own a computer at home. The only response I got was a click. So ... if we all operated under the same system, we at the newspaper would say a single copy of the newspaper is 50 cents. However, if we added in tax, federal tax, universal connectivity (we are online), and distribution it would bring the cost up to about $2.50 a copy. Dont worry ... we arent going to do that, nor will it cost you any service fee for me to say... See you next Wednesday.

Manistee resident begins Peace Corps service in Kenya

Christina Bailey of Manistee, has been accepted into the Peace Corps and departed for Kenya on Monday to begin preservice training as a chemistry, biology and physics education Peace Corps volunteer. Upon graduation from volunteer training in January, Bailey will teach math and science courses to secondary education students in a rural Kenyan community. Bailey is the daughter of David and Sarah Bailey and has seven siblings. She said her entire family has supported her through the process of becoming a volunteer. The background and raising my parents provided me has always geared me in a service direction, she said. Two of my older sisters are working in service programs, and a sister and two of my brothers are in the military. I love giving and the Peace Corps allows me to do that to the fullest. During the first three months of her service, Bailey will live with a host family in Kenya to become fully immersed in the countrys language and culture. After acquiring the language and cultural skills necessary to assist her community, Bailey will be sworn into service and be assigned to a community in Kenya, where she will live and work for two years with the local people. Bailey graduated from Manistee Catholic Central High School and attended Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, where she earned a bachelors degree in biomedical sciences in 2009. After completing her service as a Peace Corps volunteer, Bailey said she hopes to go to medical school and eventually become a pediatric anesthesiologist. Bailey has the opportunity to serve during Peace Corps 50th anniversary year in 2011. While in service, the Bailey will receive all living expenses, full health and dental coverage, and a $7,425 transition fund upon completing service. After Peace Corps, she is eligible for non-competitive federal employment advantage and Peace Corps Fellows/USA graduate programs offering financial assistance. Bailey joins the 326 Michigan residents currently serving in the Peace Corps and more than 6,564 Michigan residents who have served in the Peace Corps since 1961.

2-1-1 annual meeting set for oct. 25

MANISTEE The 2-1-1 Action Team, in partnership with United Way of Manistee County, will host the Fourth Annual 2-1-1 Luncheon on Tuesday, Oct. 25 at the Manistee Intermediate School District building. Guest speakers will include Carol Carpenter from Michigan Works and Michael Michaud from the American Red Cross. There will also be a testimonial given from a local resident and 2-1-1 caller. 2-1-1 is a telephone number with live call specialists who provide community resource information, agency referrals and problem solving during times of everyday need and unexpected crises. The service was launched in Manistee County in February 2010 after a lengthy and stringent application process with the Michigan Public Service Commission and other accrediting agencies. The 2-1-1 Action Team is a group of highly trained volunteers and the driving force behind the implementation of the vital telephone service. The Action Team recognizes the many individuals and organizations who help make 2-1-1 a success in Manistee County, said Evelyn Szpliet, 2-1-1 director for Manistee County. Once a year we celebrate the volunteers and community leaders who make our growth possible. The 2-1-1 service includes information regarding food, housing, utility payment help, senior programs, prescription assistance, healthcare and much more. It is available 24/7 by dialing the three digits from home or cell phones. Call specialists can also be reached by dialing (877) 211-5253 from areas that are not connected to the 2-1-1 system.

The Salvation Army Operation Warm-Up is teaming up with the Love INCs Bunch of Boots program this year to make sure no one goes without warm coats, boots and accessories this year. Shown left to right at the Operation Warm-Up drop-off site at West Michigan Bank are the Salvation Armys Major JoAnn Hixenbaugh, West Michigans Julie Loewicki, Carol Kott and Tom Plaxton.

Bunch of Boots collecting donations for the winter season

There isnt anything worse than someone having to face the northern Michigan winter season without having proper jackets, gloves, hats and boots. That is why Love INC. and the Salvation Army are taking every step to insure that no children or adults will be facing that situation this winter. Love INC will be collecting new and slightly used boots and donations from the public over the next several weeks for their Bunch of Boots program and the Salvation Armys annual Operation Warm-Up will supply warm coats and accessories. Robin Paulus of Love INC said people wishing to make a donation of boots or cash can do so at their location on 453 River St. She said the need for boots is especially strong for children. We can always use childrens boots as many schools will not let the children go out to play on recess without boots, said Paulus. We have run this program in the past, but we decided to team up with the Salvation Army so we can serve as many people as possible. People can also register through them for the boots. Paulus said they have had a shoe pantry at the First Congregational Church where they have been storing new and used boots for distribution. That will also be the site of their distribution this year on Oct. 20. We tried to set up our distribution to coincide with theirs for children, said Paulus. We also need some volunteers to help the day of the distribution, and anyone that would like to help can call us at 7236613. Manistee County residents should look for various locations around Manistee County serving as drop-off locations for Operation-Warm Up where people can drop off gently used or new coats and jackets. They also are accepting cash donations from the public that will be used to purchase coats. Locations where coats and jackets may be dropped off at collection barrels are West Michigan Bank and Trust (120 Cypress St.), The Salvation Army (415 River St.), The Salvation Army Family Thrift Store (170 Memorial Drive), American Cleaners (285 River St.), Glens Market (1057 Manistee Highway), Huntington Bank (332 First Street in Manistee, 7685 Lake Street in Bear Lake), and Olesons Food Store (160 Memorial Drive). Hixenbaugh said that ever year one of the greatest needs they have is for childrens coats especially for children 4 to 14 years of age. Collection will go on until Oct. 17 and distribution dates are Wednesday, Oct. 19 and Thursday, Oct. 20 by appointment. They will accept walk-ins on Friday, Oct. 21. For further information, or to make an appointment, Salvation Army officials are asking that people call (231) 7236243. The Salvation Army is a United Way agency and a member of the Manistee County Human Services Collaborative Board.
