Summary

The October 1983 Deputy’s Office column combined child-restraint safety guidance with an appeal for Beaver Island residents willing to provide boats, radios, aircraft, or labor during marine emergencies.

Evidence limits

This preserves historical public-service guidance and a volunteer appeal; it does not establish a roster, equipment inventory, or formal search system.

Sources

  1. Repeats Michigan child-restraint requirements, says approved seats can be borrowed from the Charlevoix County Sheriff's Department, and asks residents with boats, radios, aircraft, or search willingness to volunteer for marine emergencies. It is public-service guidance and a volunteer appeal, not a legal digest, dispatch roster, equipment inventory, or search log. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
