Reports that Ham Gebert had handled 101 complaints by August 1 and nearly 100 more during August, with only four days off. The column also reminds drivers to report qualifying accidents, discusses stray-animal handling, notes unclaimed keys held at the substation after Perry Gatliff’s residence-care work, describes the deputy’s long summer hours, and gives the substation, CB 11, and Charlevoix County Sheriff contact routes.
