Donald Albrecht talks about his time as chief emergency room physician at West
Shore Medical Center.
WSMC says ‘job well done’ in
naming the Donald Albrecht
EMS Facility
BY DAVE YARNELL
STAFF WRITER
The garage named Tuesday for retired
West Shore Medical Center emergency
room physician Donald J. Albrecht is just a
small example of the many improvements
he helped bring about in his 16 years as
chief emergency room physician at the
hospital from 1993 to 2009.
Well-wishers filled two large class-
rooms in the education center at the hos-
pital to thank Albrecht for his accomplish-
ments.
“I want to thank everybody for show-
ing up,” Albrecht said. “That is the most
remarkable part to me. I must admit, when
I was in Minnesota, if I had known what I
was getting into coming here ... well, let’s
just say I didn’t know what I was getting
into.”
He said that during his first year, as
winter approached, he wondered why the
ambulance wasn’t put in the garage.
“We didn’t have a garage,” he said.
“So the first thing the medics would do is
start chipping the ice off the cold rig to go
pick up their patient. I would be remiss if
I didn’t make sure that I thank one other
person who had an awful lot to do with the
whole thing — and that’s Bill Knodell (of
the hospital staff). If I was the mouth, he
was the arms and the legs.”
Emergency room physician Richard
Scharp recalled working with Albrecht.
“I learned many things from Don over
the years, but I think the most important
thing I learned was by observing how he
cared for the patients,” Scharp said. “He
took the time to pull up a chair and listen
to the people he was taking care of. I think
too often we underestimate the power that
a touch, a smile, a listening ear and the
act of caring can actually have on the indi-
vidual and their disease. Don understood
that well. To me he was the epitome of the
compassionate and empathetic physician.”
Scharp offered the Tom Brokaw quote,
“It’s easy to make a buck, but it’s much
more difficult to make a difference.”
“Since Burt and the board hired Don in
1993, that’s exactly what he has done — he
has made a difference,” Scharp said. “As
the first full-time E.R. physician the hospi-
tal hired, he brought many new ideas and
changed how the emergency department
was staffed.

Later, Scharp said he received a call

If it was easy, everyone would do it

“Opportunity is missed by most people
because it is dressed in overalls and looks
like work.” — Thomas Edison.
One of the proudest elements in the
character of Manistee is that our people
are never afraid of hard work, so it’s very
gratifying right now to look ahead and see
our community finally grasping some of
the opportunities around us.
As I write this, I’m rushing because I’m
on my way to the Vogue Theater for “an
historic event featuring Michael Moore”
and by the time you read this, you’ll know
exactly how that event played out. What
I know now is that our community finally
has an opportunity to do something about
the Vogue and we’re seizing it.
We face another exciting opportunity
to advance our community in April, when
Manistee County Blacker Airport will inau-
gurate commercial air service provided by
Frontier Airlines. That’s an opportunity to
move forward in establishing Manistee as a
destination and a departure.
Much of Manistee is in the habit of
grousing about our experiences with com-
mercial air service at Manistee Blacker and
the hard work in seizing this opportunity
will be for all of us to let go of that habit
and instead becoming enthusiastic sup-
porters of flying in and out of Manistee
County on Frontier Airlines.
As always, your chamber is leading the
way in welcoming this opportunity — we’ll

present a very special Business After Hours
at the airport on Monday, April 18, to wel-
come Frontier Airlines to Blacker Airport
and to the Manistee County business com-
munity.
Wait ... Business After Hours on a
Monday? You bet, because we’ll never miss
an opportunity to do business. Jump at the
chance this week.

“He would come up to my office

families and other things until, pret-

In 2009, a final report by the Michigan
Wind Energy Resource Zone Board included
portions of Benzie and Manistee counties in
one of four regions in Michigan that hold the
highest wind energy harvest potential. Duke
Energy is proposing a wind energy project
that would encompass lands in the two
counties. The high wind energy portions of
the two counties include Arcadia, Pleasanton
and Bear Lake townships in Manistee
County and Blaine and Joyfield townships in
Benzie County.
“To date, there has not been a concerted,
collaborative effort involving the com-
munities and townships that lie within the
wind energy region to assess and educate
ourselves about wind energy alternatives,
firms and/or individuals selected to answer
the questions will develop a report that
details questions and their answers, includ-
ing references to relevant literature, practices
and reports. The firms or individuals will
present the report in at least two forums that
will be held in Manistee and Benzie counties.
Technical Assistance: The Michigan
Association of Planning will also recommend
firms and/or individuals who are uniquely
suited to assist the townships within the area
assess their current ordinances and readi-
ness for various wind energy alternatives and
assist in developing model ordinances using
best practices, including community involve-
ment.
Any firm, governmental unit, non-profit
organization, individual or other entity are
invited to be a stakeholder in the project.
