Mason 5 Fire District held a meeting last week to consider a maintenance and operation levy, with plans to up- date its aging apparatus with new fire trucks, tenders, wild land brush trucks and command vehicles. The district is seeking citizen input before making any decision to place it on the ballot. The public is encouraged to contact the dis- trict so they can see for themselves the equipment that no longer is up to stan- dards and cost effectiveness of the plan they have put forth. You've seen those collections points for aluminum cans at all the fire sta- tions and at Harstine Pointe. This is a continuation of the efforts of our much- missed good friend, Bud Glasser. Now, Nick Neuerburg and Bud's grandson are carrying on the tradition and here is an account of their latest effort. They collected $1,464.74. Then, they began with the donations. They gave Harstine Island Community Club $150; Theater Club $100; Women's Club $100 and the Grange $100. I will pest the rest of their generous volunteer work next week. Referring back up to the rum- mage sale, just look at all the good that comes from the volunteer spirit. Mt.
