Average attendance is about 1,000 people. “I think we’re going to be down this year,” said assistant fire chief Bill Sivula. Activities included the din- ner, a 50/50 raffle and a table selling Kimball-themed sou- venirs. “We hold this dinner to buy equipment and a truck,” said Sivula. “It’s great to see people come out even on a cold day,” he said.

Snyder and members of the collaborative provided information for the public to make sure residents knew about available funding to aid low-income residents, vet- erans and propane suppliers in purchasing propane. They have also worked to increase supplies to the area from other parts of the country and the state attorney general’s office was promptly investigating reports of propane price gouging. The clear message the Snyder administration was try- ing to convey, especially in an election year, was that the governor was on the job. That’s great. When a crisis occurs that’s exactly where the state’s chief executive should be, as close to what’s occurring as possible. About the only thing we didn’t see was Snyder filling a propane tank in the backyard of a thankful homeowner. This effort is especially welcomed considering the area most prominently affected by the skyrocketing prices resulting from the low supplies is the Upper Peninsula, an area with a relatively small number of constituents and a place situated a considerable distance from Lans- ing. About 9 percent, or 300,000 households, in Michigan heat their homes primarily with propane. Snyder has responded favorably in previous perilous situations in the region involving floods and fire. Howev- er this situation — perhaps because it is occurring during the deep dead of one of the coldest winters in our recent past — appears to be more demanding of a thorough response, especially given the potential ability for the shortage to affect a large number of the U.P.’s most vul- nerable citizens. A confluence of several factors -ranging from the cold winter to foreign sales of propane cutting domestic supply to propane used to dry corn last fall to low stockpiles heading into winter and facility shutdowns- combined to produce the propane shortage. State officials said the cri- sis was now easing on the supply side, with hopes retail prices would soon follow wholesale prices in their down- ward trajectory.
