Last week, Coury had another busy weekend in Benzie County. The weather wasn't the most cooperative, but there was plenty to do. On Friday, he took a tour of the Benzie Bus headquarters. It's quite an impressive facility. He was unaware that in addition to providing public transportation to the citizens of Benzie County, it also provides preventative maintenance services to Benzie County EMS as well as Almira Township and Benzonia Township.
He was pleased to learn that Benzie Bus HQ is a designated Red Cross relief center. During the "Weekend Winter" of 2012 it provided shelter to county residents who lost power and were without heat. While there is some debate about the future availability of state and federal grant monies, it seems like a worthwhile service and a solid value for county taxpayers.
Also on Friday, Coury sat down for an interview with the folks from the Elberta Alert. He covered a number of issues, ranging from the budget to concerns about law enforcement coverage in the remote corners of the county.
On Saturday, the weather put a damper on the action at the Beulah Fall Fest. The Sun made a brief but short lived appearance. Coury paid a visit to the Benzonia Area Museum and The Granary in Beulah. On Sunday, Coury enjoyed a "Hillbilly Breakfast" with the Honor Lions Club. Candidate for Probate Judge, John D. Mead was on hand to help serve. Coury had a nice chat with long-time county police officer, John Brazaski who, coincidentally, is a fellow Lion.
After that, Coury went out on patrol, going door-to-door and planting yard signs around the county. While in Lake Ann he stumbled across Family Fun Day at the Lake Ann Museum. It was an all around good day.
