On this episode of the Manistee Local I talk with my friend Megan McCarthy Executive Director of the Lakeshore Children's Advocacy Center. "Since 2009, the Lakeshore Children's Advocacy Center has provided a child-centered environment for children and their families who have experienced sexual abuse, severe physical abuse, or if a child has been a witness to violence. Through the work of the Lakeshore CAC, a team of child abuse professionals – including social workers, law enforcement, child protective services, prosecutors, medical examiners, and mental health professionals – are brought together to provide a coordinated response that best meets the needs of the child and family."You can find additional information on the website. https://www.manisteecac.comEnjoy.

On this episode I am honored to talk with Manistee County's top Law Dog, good human, and someone I am blessed to call a friend, Sheriff Brian Gutowski. He is as legit as it come. A true Boy Scout in the best of terms. He is exactly what a community should want in its top cop. Brian has climbed the ladder fast and has managed to put together an extremely impressive resume along the way. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did having it. Hugs and Kisses.

On this episode of the Manistee Local I have my bud Andy Lee back on for his annual chat about Tight Lines for Troops. The non-profit that gives veterans a day to remember! Here is their Mission statement "Our mission is to unite organizations, businesses, sponsors and communities to help provide a free fishing tournament open to all Michigan Veterans from all eras, wartime and peacetime. By bringing our Heroes together, we endeavor to build and foster new relationships, share their experiences and enjoy fishing in the great outdoors of Michigan.Our all-volunteer, not-for-profit efforts will improve the quality of life for many Veterans, reinforce patriotism, educate and bring awareness that we must continue to support and honor those who have defended our country and our freedoms."This organization has provided this wonderful event for veterans for over a decade. In that time it has grown from a few soldiers fun fishing into an event that takes hundreds of Michigan veterans out onto the big lake.

On this Episode of the Manistee Local I chat with my good friend Teresa Kieffer. Teresa has a very interesting story. She has a gift for interior design and marketing. She is a savvy business owner and a good soul. One of the things I wanted to make sure we spoke about is her selflessness and ability to give without want in return. In this episode Teresa talks about how she actively went about donating a kidney and part of her liver to two individuals in desperate need. Most people myself included often think of an organ donation as something that only happens when someone is deceased and their organs are harvested to help a living person in need. Teresa explains why living donation can, do and should happen more often. This was a wonderful chat and I hope you both enjoy and learn from it. Hugs. JB.,
