HELL BE WITHUS, ALWAYSBravo Troop action figure honors Superman of outfit

To Spc. Michael Plaska, it was liketucking away a spiders web for safe keep-ing. He handled the tiny object in a verydelicate, meaningful manner.

Carefully holding the toy Supermanaction figure between his thumb and

pointer finger, the 26-year-old soldier

broke into a boyish grin as he looked downat it.

This is for Mike, Plaska said. Hell bewith us, always.

An 8-year-veteran of the NationalGuard, Plaska gathered with his fellowBravo Troop Black Knights on Friday atthe Manistee National Guard Armory

preparing to leave for advancedtraining at Camp Shelby, Miss.Sometime in January, BravoTroop is expected to be deployedto Afghanistan.

Along with Plaska and theremaining Black Knights will gothe tiny Superman action figure an endearing tribute to friend andfellow guardsman Sgt. MichaelNafe, who was killed in a car acci-dent in August.

We called him Superman,

Plaska said. That was Mikesnickname Superman. Wellprobably take turns over therecarrying it taking care of it ust like we would have taken care

of Mike and just like he wouldhave taken care of us.

Mike was my good friend.He was a lot of fun to be around.We even put his name and rankon (the action figure). To manyof us, he wasSuperman.

As pictureswere takenFriday ofBravo Troops

four platoons,Pfc. NicholasKelley stoodtall and proud,holding theSupermanaction figure infront of him.Afterwards, hemeticulouslysat the actionfigure on top of a camouflagedbackpack.

This is nice, Kelley said as helooked down at the Superman fig-ure. This means a lot to us, justlike Mike means a lot to us.

Tami Schultz, president of theBravo Family, also known as theFamily Readiness Group, said shesearched in several big box stores,toy stores and others, from GrandRapids to Muskegon and more,hoping to find the right-sizedSuperman action figure.

Believe it or not, I was shop-ping with my daughter for clothes

and the store we were at had tworows or so of toys, and there wasthe action figure we wanted, shesaid. I was running through thestore hollering to my 11-year-olddaughter that I found Superman,I found Superman, and she

just tried to ignore me, pretendlike she didnt know me. It wasfunny.

Schultz, whos married tolongtime Bravo Troop mem-

ber Sgt. Darin Schultz, said she

recently received a Facebookmessage from Plaska showing theaction figure posed in the troopsCamp Shelby barracks.

Nafe had a tattoo of theSuperman emblem on his arm,she said. He also had a largedecal of the same emblem thatcovered the whole back win-dow of his truck. Yes, he wasSuperman, all right,

Nafesmother,MargaretEverling, wasan honoredguest at last

Thursdaysgoing-awayceremony atthe armory,

where her sonwas remem-bered with amoment ofsilence.

It wasvery emo-

tional for me, Everling said. Ifelt my son willed me here, and Ineeded to be here. He was part ofthis group, and they were all hisfamily. I have 80-plus adoptednew children now. Michael was

deployed with them the previoustime, so he was looking forward to

being with these guys again.Tucking the small action figure

into his backpack, Plaska began totake inventory of all that he hadto carry to the bus.

Well always have a place forMike, he said. Superman willalways be part of Bravo Troop.

Manistee County vot-rs will be heading to theolls on Tuesday, Nov. 8nd one of the issues theounty officials will besking them to considers a resolution to set fixed

illage rates for a fiveear span.

County officials stress

hat this proposal is

not an increase in mill-age, but is a requiredaction they must taketo set fixed rates for thecounty. The amountsthey are asking the vot-ers to approve have notchanged since 1993 andset the millage rates forthe county operating (5.5mills), townships (1.5mills) and the ManisteeIntermediate School

District (.3 mills) for atotal fixed millage rate of7.3 mills.

It is a proposal thatwas approved by a largemargin by the county

voters back on Aug. 10,2006 and this is actuallya renewal of that samerequest. The tax alloca-tion board could haveput those rates up for anindefinite period of time,

but decided to ask foronly five years because itallows them the oppor-tunity to revisit the rates

again in five years. Thisrenewal would cover the

years 2012-2016.The proposal that will

be placed before them onthe ballot reads as fol-lows:

Shall separate taxlimitations be estab-lished for a period offive years (2012, 2013,2014, 2015 and 2016) oruntil altered by the voters

of Manistee County forthe County of Manisteeand the Townships andIntermediate SchoolDistricts within the coun-ty, the aggregate whichshall now exceed 7.3mills as follows: Countyof Manistee (5.5 mills),Townships (1.5 mills)and Intermediate SchoolDistrict (.3 mills).

Manistee County ClerkMarilyn Kliber explainedthat voters would begiven the opportunity to

vote yes or no for the

proposal. A yes votewould mean the voterapproves the renewal ofthe millage and the taxallocation board wouldnot meet again for five

years to discuss thoserates.

If it isnt approvedit will mean that the taxallocation board wouldrequire the county, ISDand each individual town-

ship to submit an annualbudget for the tax alloca-tion board to review itevery year, said Kliber.

County officials saidthis would require acostly, time consumingprocess to be done every

year by the tax allocationboard. By having a fixedmillage in place for thenext five years, they saidit allows them the oppor-tunity to know exactly

what they can expect inrevenue from millage.That gives them a better

opportunity to preparea balanced budget asrequired under state law.

Since the previousproposal had expiredthis year the county taxallocation board meton Aug. 2 to review themillage rates for thisproposal. Sitting on that

board was ManisteeCounty Treasurer RussellPomeroy, Manistee

County CommissionWays and MeansCommittee Chair ErvinKowalski, ManisteeIntermediate SchoolDistrict RepresentativeRita Curtis and DennisKeleher, who wasappointed by the Judgeof Probate. On the

board, but not attend-ing that meeting wereCentral Dispatch directorJim Espvik and citizenThomas Geoghan. They

voted to bring it back tothe voters with a five-year

proposal with the samemillage rates.

Kliber said questionshave come on the subjectmatter because absentee

ballots are now avail-able for the Novemberelection. She said peoplethat are not going to bearound or are unable tomake it to the polls onelection day can get aabsentee ballot to vote in

the November election.All the township

and city clerks now havetheir absentee ballotsand some like ArcadiaTownship have told methat people are alreadypicking them up, saidKliber. Many peopleleave for Florida and

warmer climates this timeof the year. We have hadsome calls from peoplenot understanding it andthat is why we wanted toget some information outon it.

Manistee County Blacker Airportofficials will readily admit they are

much too familiar with the EssentialAir Service (EAS) process.Over the course of the past several

years it is something airport direc-tor Barry Lind and airport authoritymembers have dealt with on severaloccasions after carriers left or stoppedproviding service to the local airport.When Frontier Airlines announced onSept. 13 that they would be ceasingoperations out of the Manistee CountyBlacker Airport as of March 8, 2012, ittossed the local airport officials backinto process of seeking a new carrier.

Manistee airport officials thoughtthey were secure with carrier ser-vice until 2013. However, Frontierexercised a 180-day opt out optionto terminate its local service onlysix months after it began servingManistee. The reasons given by theairliner was it was part of biggerregional downsizing, and not due tothe results they were getting from thelocal airport.

What made the move even morefrustrating to local officials was thefact that record number of passengerswere utilizing Frontiers service. Inmost months they were exceeding theprevious year by four times the pas-sengers.

Lind said the process is not one

that will move along quickly. Thereis a set pattern of Department ofTransportation (DOT) steps they mustfollow over the next several months.

DOT has not put our service

out for bids yet, said Lind. I wouldexpect that to happen the first orsecond week of October, as it usuallyhappens 30 days after this sort ofthing takes place.

Once the bids go out it typicallyis a 30-day response period, so thatwill take us to the first of November.Then the community has 30 days togive feedback to the DOT on the bidsthat are received, and the authority

will make a recommendation on thecarrier they would like to see provideservice. That is followed up by another30 days for the DOT to respond, somy expectation is it will be around thefirst of year when we get a new car-rier.

Local officials know that ManisteeBlacker Airport is secure in havinga carrier until March with Frontiershould something push the process

back slightly. Frontier officials havestated that they plan to retain thesame level of quality service until thatdeparture date.

Lind said the DOT may have itshands full when it comes to EASissues right now.

This fall all nine EAS airports willbe out bidding, so one of the thingsI am trying to do is coordinate if wecan all work together or at least shareinformation if not put out an orga-nized response to a carrier, said Lind.I have extended my hand to a few ofthe carriers we had in the last round of

bidding like Gulfstream Airlines and

Charter Air Transport. I am also try-ing to get contacts for American Eagleand Sky West because they werent apart of the process last time, so I donthave contacts for them.

The airport director said that hehas also had conversations with theDepartment of Transportation aboutseveral issues of concern to the localairport.

I want to make sure that whenthey release our numbers they releasethe most up-to-date passenger statis-tics because the official statistics outof the DOT are only until June of this

year, said Lind. The big numbers weturned in during the summer monthsare not included. It will make it easierto communicate if the airlines alreadyhave that information, as opposedto trying to get that to them secondhand. The DOT has that informationavailable on the Michigan DOT web-site, so I pointed them to that site.

Lind said that another subjectmatter he touched on was the aver-age number of passengers that will beincluded in the bid specifications.

I have asked them to increase thevolume of passengers, as I am basi-cally requesting that the minimumlevel of service that Manistee is ableto accommodate be raised to a higherlevel, said Lind. When Great Lakes

was here we had two round trips of 19seats, so 38 passengers. In August ofthis year we were doing an average of62 seats a day, so what we are askingis if someone with a 19-seat airplaneapplies they have to provide threeflights a day. However, the DOT didntgive me a response on that request.

Another aspect of the process that

Lind says will be vital is after the bidsarrive to get public input to the DOT.He said the amount of public input

will greatly influence what the DOTdecides.

Nothing is more beautifulon a crisp fall evening than afull harvest moon in the sky.

That is why the organiz-ers of the Manistee Catholic

Central HARVEST (HelpingA Religious Valued EducationShine Through) Fling selectedHarvest Moon as the themefor their 24th annual eventon Saturday, Nov. 5. Thosewho have attended previousHARVEST Fling events knowthat the theme is a vital part ofthis annual community socialevent.

The school gymnasium andcafeteria are virtually trans-formed into a thing of beautyfocusing on that theme makingit a night for all who attend to

remember.We realized this year

that we have never done afall theme in 24 years, saidHARVEST Fling memberMary Lou Racine. The gym-nasium and cafeteria will bedecorated so they will not lookanything like gym or cafeteria.

Fellow HARVEST Flingmember Kay Fortier said theyhave put together anotherfirst-rate event this year thatwill include, music, good foodand silent and live auctions.However, she pointed out thatit is the atmosphere of the eve-ning that makes it special for allwho attend.

It starts at 5 p.m. with asocial hour and hors doeuvresand our dinner is at 6:15 p.m.,said Fortier. That is all alongwith our usual raffles and auc-tions. The band we have thisyear is the Furbush Brothersout of Muskegon and they playa variety of 1980s rock andclassic rock music. We havetried something different everyyear for the music, and this is avery good group.

For an event to survive and

thrive for 24 years means theorganizers have to keep it freshevery year with a mixture newthings, along with the tradi-tional favorites. It is a challengethat Racine said they keep inmind every year when workingon the next HARVEST Fling.

At the end of every year welook back and realize that somepeople have attended all ofthem, said Racine. We needto do something different so

eo le dont start sa in Oh

yes, it is the HARVEST and wehave been there and done thatso lets go to a football gameinstead, so we try to do some-thing different every year.

Fortier agreed with thatassessment, but pointed outthat some of the traditionalfavorites taking place duringHARVEST are important tomany that attend the eventevery year.

There are certain ele-ments of the night that arepredictable, so we have to go

with them, said Fortier.This year something new

they are doing is anyone whobuys a ticket to the event willbe eligible to win a five-day tripto Las Vegas. They also will beholding the traditional silentand live auction with auction-eer Ron Ringel handling those

duties.Fortier and Racine stressed

that although the event bene-fits Manistee Catholic Central,and last year raised more than$88,000 it has become muchmore of a community event. Itis the one night when everyonefrom the community can dressup and enjoy a first class nighton the town.

It is kind of the time ofyear when things have quieteddown around Manistee, andpeople are looking for some-thing to do, said Fortier.

Racine said the popularityspreads even beyond ManisteeCounty as people come fromall over that night to enjoy theevening.

It is not just a ManisteeCatholic Central event as thereis a wide variety of communitysupport, said Racine. Wehave people who come fromout of town. Just recently wereceived a call from GrandRapids after a couple weredriving through the town sawthe sign by the school andasked us to send us someinformation on it. You try toappeal to a wider group ofpeople.

Both said the fellowshipthat takes place during theevening is also a special partof the event. The social hourat the start of the evening isan opportunity to renew oldfriendships and catch up, butis something they feel is veryspecial.

One of the more dif-

ficult moments is in breakingeveryone up and getting theminto the gym, said Racine.Mark Sandstedt, who is themaster of ceremonies, is giventhat task and he keeps invit-ing them in, but they want to

visit.Fortier said something

they cant control on aNovember evening is the

weather, but over the pastnearly quarter century theyhave had great luck in thatdepartment.

We have been very fortu-nate as the weather has reallycooperated for us and younever know at the that time ofthe year, said Fortier.

The HARVEST is one

of the big fundraisers forthe school and over thecourse of 24 years they haveraised about $1.4 million forManistee Catholic Centralschools. Racine said all of themoney goes right back into theschool to benefit the children.

We dont have any paidstaff and all of the moneyhas gone to the students fortechnology, tuition and for thekids, said Fortier

It is one of the reasonsthe students have taken a

very active role in the fling byhelping in a variety of ways.Racine said the feedback fromthat has indicated to them it issomething the students reallyenjoy doing every year.

We have a newsletterthat comes out and they askedthose alumni what they miss

most about school and manyof them say working on thefling, said Racine. Manyof them come back to attendit after they get out of schooland we actually have classesthat come back and have theirreunion that night as it givesthem a chance to have a night

with great food, music anddancing.

They do say that thereis a limit on the number ofpeople they can hold thatevening, but that tickets arestill available and people cangain information by calling theschool office at (231) 723-2529or the Catholic CommunityDevelopment office at (231)723-2619.

5/8

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

true then the odds are that is thecase.

What started me thinkingabout that old saying is the otherday I received a call from a tele-marketer who had a sweet dealfor me that was just too good tobe true. Many people think those

special offers sound good on theoutside, but the only problem ismost people dont read, or askabout the little extra charges insmall print.

What many people dont real-ze is many of these sweet dealsre only for a limited time, orhe price they quote you doesntnclude all the hidden costs.

If you want to hear a lottammering then just ask theost at the end of the promotioneriod or what is the price that

will be on your monthly bill. Itsounds like a virtual Porky Pigreunion at that point with allthe Beedeeb, beedeeb, thats allfolks coming from the telemar-keter. The odds are good that thefinal cost is usually is substan-tially higher.

I have noticed that some costson my utility bills are interesting

because they never were men-tioned when they were selling thepackage. A good example is when

I signed up for my phone servicethey told me my cost would be$20 a month.

Sounds good doesnt it?Imagine my surprise when thefirst bill came and it was almostdouble that amount.

Of course they didnt tell mewas there is a Federal Access

charge of $5.38 per month,bringing it up to $25.38.

They also neglected to men-tion there were surcharges andfees for 9-1-1, billing for morethan one city/counties, MichiganState E911, Federal Universalservice fund, and the MichiganState Access fund.

Dont believe it for a secondthat the federal government islacking money because they alsohit me for Federal UniversalService fee. However, that wasnt

the end of the Federal stickyfingers because they came backto tack on another 3 percent infederal tax.

By the time it is all said andone my sweet $20 per monthdeal is now $38.60 a month,

but its not just the phone bill.Its like that every time you turn

around with countless hiddencharges.

When these telemarketers callthey remind me of the old timetonic salesmen who want to sell

you something that cures gout,stomach problems, arthritis and

just about anything else that ailsyou. They give you the it slices,it dices and even starts your caron a cold morning routine to tryand sell something. Sometimesits fun just to give them a hardtime.

I had one guy guarantee hecould get me Internet service forless than what I was paying. Iasked him if would give it to freeif he was wrong. When he asked

what I was paying, I said noth-ing, I dont own a computer athome.

The only response I got was a

click.So ... if we all operated under

the same system, we at the news-paper would say a single copyof the newspaper is 50 cents.However, if we added in tax, fed-eral tax, universal connectivity(we are online), and distributionit would bring the cost up toabout $2.50 a copy.

Dont worry ... we arent gointo do that, nor will it cost youany service fee for me to say...

See you next Wednesday.

There isnt anythingworse than someone hav-ing to face the northernMichigan winter seasonwithout having proper jack-ets, gloves, hats and boots.

That is why Love INC.and the Salvation Armyare taking every step toinsure that no children oradults will be facing thatsituation this winter. LoveINC will be collecting newand slightly used boots and

Robin Paulus of LoveINC said people wishing tomake a donation of bootsor cash can do so at theirlocation on 453 River St.She said the need for bootsis especially strong for chil-dren.

We can always usechildrens boots as many

schools will not let thechildren go out to play onrecess without boots, saidPaulus. We have run thisprogram in the past, butwe decided to team up withthe Salvation Army so wecan serve as many peopleas possible. People can alsoregister through them forthe boots.

Paulus said they havehad a shoe pantry at theFirst CongregationalChurch where they havebeen storing new and used

boots for distribution. Thatwill also be the site of theirdistribution this year onOct. 20.

We tried to set up ourdistribution to coincidewith theirs for children,said Paulus. We also needsome volunteers to help

the day of the distribution,and anyone that would liketo help can call us at 723-6613.

Manistee Countyresidents should look for

various locations aroundManistee County servingas drop-off locations forOperation-Warm Up wherepeople can drop off gentlyused or new coats and jack-ets. They also are acceptingcash donations from the

public that will be used topurchase coats.Locations where

coats and jackets may bedropped off at collection

barrels are West MichiganBank and Trust (120Cypress St.), The Salvation

Army (415 River St.), TheSalvation Army FamilyThrift Store (170 MemorialDrive), American Cleaners(285 River St.), GlensMarket (1057 ManisteeHighway), HuntingtonBank (332 First Streetin Manistee, 7685 Lake

Street in Bear Lake), andOlesons Food Store (160Memorial Drive).

Hixenbaugh said thatever year one of the great-est needs they have is forchildrens coats especiallyfor children 4 to 14 years ofage. Collection will go onuntil Oct. 17 and distribu-tion dates are Wednesday,Oct. 19 and Thursday, Oct.20 by appointment. They

will accept walk-ins onFriday, Oct. 21.

For further infor-

mation, or to make anappointment, SalvationArmy officials are askingthat people call (231) 723-6243. The Salvation Armyis a United Way agency anda member of the ManisteeCounty Human ServicesCollaborative Board.
