The Suburban Collection Show-place is one step away f rom being granted a tax abatement by the N o v i C i ty Counci l after members approved the creation of a commerc ia l rehabil i tat ion distr ict at Monday 's meeting.

Part two, which wi l l focus on the

merits of tlie application, is expect­ed to take place at the city counci l meeting Oct. 24. If approved, the business vwll be receiving a 100-percent, six-year real property tax abatement that would freeze the taxable value of the building as it was before the improvements.

It's estimated the c i ty wou ld abate roughly $500,000 in c i ty taxes during that span.

Mayor Dav id Landry said he and the state see the project as being "unique" — as evidenced by the amending o f the Commer­cial Rehabil i tat ion Ac t — and it must be treated as such.

"What's real ly at issue is not the hotel. What is at issue is the convention center," Landry said.

Supt. Steve Matthews is not one to hide the fact that bu l ly ing occurs regular ly in the N o v i Com­munity School Distr ict .

It happens in the form of phys­ical violence, verbal degradation or through the computer or cell phone, and the negative impact it has on students is seen in their grades and often in theu- lifestyles.

In an effort to confront bul l ies, the school distr ict — along wi th ci ty off ic ials and the pol ice and f i re departments — w i l l don pink today to show they are taking a stand against bu l ly ing on Nat ion­al Bu l l y ing Prevent ion Day.

"It's an issue and we know it's an issue and we do a lot in school to make students aware of it," Mat­thews said. "Our hope is the stu­dents real ize this isn't something we should tolerate in our bui ld­ings, and i f they see it happening, or are a v ic t im, my hope is the stu­dents understand they can f ind someone who can help them."

Residents and business owners also are encouraged to wear pink today as bu l ly ing is not just some­thing that takes place in schools.

This marks the second consec­utive year the c i ty has participat­ed in the f ight agauist bu l ly ing by wearing pink. The idea came from Shery l Walsh, d i rector of

noting that it brings 1.5 mil l ion people to the ci ty and has an annual posi­tive economic impact of nearly $700 mil l ion.

Council member David Staudt agreed ivith the may­or, saying while he empa­thizes with other hotels in the area, tlie abatement needs to happen.

"I 'm sor ry it affects some businesses, but that is the nature of abate­ments —per iod," he said. "The amount of invest­ment this communi­ty makes is going to be repaid many times over. Foregoing nothing of noth­ing isn't the right answer."

•The proposal before council is an $8.5 mil l ion project that includes a 127-room, six-story hotel under the Hyatt Place brand and franchise and the expansion of addition­al meeting space.

Kev in Schramm, vice president of development at Hyatt Hotels Coip. , said he bel ieves there is going to be "signif icant­ly more demand" with the new hotel.

B la i r Bowman, own­er of Suburban Collec­tion Showplace, continued to echo his stance that he would not be building the hotel without the abate­ment. He also said the project is vital to the long-term success of the con­vention center, noting he expects between 17 and 22 more large-scale conven­tions i f the hotel is added.

"This is not just we're looking to build anoth­er hotel in the market­place," he s a i d "It is to pro­vide infrastructure to sup­port and sustain the posi­tive economic impact that I think you have heard a con­siderable amount about."

M o r e than 10 people spoke dur ing the publ ic hearing Monday, shar ing their reasons as to why they oppose o r approve of the project.

Dan L innen , co-own­er of And iamo and Rojo

Mex ican Bistro, said he is thankful for the Show-place because in this eco­nomic market he needs every benefit he can get.

"When there is an event at the Showplace, our business spikes tremen­dously," he said.

Br ian iWartin, COO at Hotel Investment Ser­vices, Dan Fine, general manager at the Sheraton Detroit-Novi and Susan Sereno, general manager of Crowne Plaza Detroit-Nov i , said they don't see how they will be benefit­ting from the hotel despite Bowman's claim that they wil l handle the overflow from large conventions.

Sereno said the Crowne Plaza was the partner hotel for Suburban Col ­lection Showplace for many years and they d id not sell out on all the larg­e r conventions.

"In our opinion, add­ing 127 more rooms is not going to attract larg­er conventions," she said. "When you are run­ning 54-percent occu­pancy, there is room to accommodate these con­ventions now. We don't have enough occupan­cy, we don't have enough demand and we don't believe 127 rooms wi l l draw major large conven­tions to allow us to have overflow."

Council member Jus­tin Fischer was the lone dissenting vote on coun­ci l , saying he was not con­vinced it was to a level of what is expected in Nov i and that it couldn't be done without the abatement.

"To me, tax abatements should be used spar­ingly," he said. "They should be used to attract top-notch investments. ... 1 can't go as far as to say this hotel would be unique, and it would not be to the service level that I believe is the intent of the policy."

Counci l member Terry Margo l is was not present at the meeting.

Schools in Nov i were

a sea of pink last year, a sign to N o v i Director of Publ ic Safety/Chief o f Pol ice Dav id Mol loy that the idea resonated with the students.

Last year the focus was on the high school, whi le this year it wi l l be at Nov i M idd le School.

"I bel ieve it's a serious prob lem many commu­nities have and we need to do everything we can to be proact ive," Mo l loy said. "I think we all are

stepping outside our com­fort zone on this day."

Matthews said it's "one of those hidden parts of a school."

"It's just hard to see all the time and we do all we can to promote the idea we don't want this to happen," he said. "We want safe schools where kids feel l ike they can be themselves."

There are many pro­grams, books and supple­ments avai lable to people t ry ing to lose weight.

But for Chery l M i l l s and K i m Free l , they have found a method that works for them, and they are guaranteeing it works for everyone else as well .

Co-owners of the Pounds and Inches Away franchise that recent- • ly opened in Nov i , the weight loss program fol­lows what is cal led the H C G Diet Protocol . H C G is a supplement that taps into the body's abnormal fat deposits and releas­es them into the blood stream and out of the body.

F ree l said clients who take the supplement and

adhere to the diet wil l see drast ic results in a short per iod of time. Exerc ise is not required.

" Inches come from where the fat is located, and you are not just los­ing water weight but inch­es," she said. "Not only are you losing weight, but you also establish a main­tenance program to help keep it o f f "

Both Free l , f rom South Lyon, and Mi l l s , f rom M i l f o r d , are success sto­ries as M i l l s is down 67 pounds in her third round of the program, and Freel a comfortable 13 pounds.

M i l l s said once you start losing the weight and inches, it's easier to stay focused.

" Y o u want to keep it off and not go back to what you were , " she said.

Anyone who wishes

to learn more about the H C G Diet Protocol can receive a free consul­tation. If they think it's right for them, a program wi l l be shaped to meet their needs.

M i l l s said women are not the only ones who can benefit f rom the pro­gram.

"It works awesome on men," she said. "Bet ter on them, actually."

The owners said they are available for sup­port 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the busi­ness has had thousands of successful clients to point out as success stories.

Pounds and Inches Away is located in the Pheasant Run Plaza at 39809 Grand R i ve r Ave. For more information, visi t www.poundsand- inchesaway.com or cal l (248) 987-6733.

[ played the baritone in my junior high school band. In fact, I was

f irst chair baritone. I did not always p lay

the baritone, but the year I switched to the baritone I had started the year as a trumpet player and was f i rst chair trumpet.

I would l ike to say 1 switched instruments because my band director asked me to switch, but in truth, I asked him i f 1 could change.

M y desire to play the baritone coincided wi th my demotion from f i rs t chair trumpet. 1 had been f i rs t chair trumpet fo r several weeks and was happily moving along when the student next to me challenged me. A f t e r our musical duel, I was no longer f irst chair.

H o w did 1 respond? D id I pract ice more? D id I ask the teacher for ext ra help?

Those seem l ike good approaches but I took the easy way out — I switched instruments!

We did not have a bar i ­tone player in my jun ior high' school band, so 1 asked the teacher i f I could switch. H e said yes, and I was now first cha i r baritone!

That was not exact­ly my finest moment. Instead of r is ing to a chal-

lenge, 1 looked and found a way out.

Stu­dents face challeng­es in our schools every day. Our cur­r iculum is chal­

lenging and moves.quick-ly, and we expect and require our students to do a lot.

When students are challenged they have a choice. They ask them­selves a fundamental question, "Do 1 dig in and f ind a way through or do I begin to look around for a way out?"

M y hope would be that our students would rise to the challenge, work hard, and find a way to under­stand the curriculum and learn the content. 1 know from personal experience that some students will not do that and wi l l instead t ry to find a less taxing way. These students, like me in junior high, equate suc­cess with having a smooth ride. Students need to imderstand that true suc­cess results f rom challeng­ing yourself.

One of our district goals is that al l students wi l l achieve at a high level. In order to help every stu­dent achieve at a high level, we must encourage

our students to challenge themselves, take r isks, and reach further than they thought possible.

Our students w i l l not do that by themselves.

As a district we have to create an environment that pushes our students to achieve at high levels. Our teachers and adminis­trators must f ind ways to motivate and encourage

. students to overcome the challenges that they face. We must support students at al l levels, f inding ways to encourage students to embrace excellence.

As parents we need to support our chi ldren. Simple things l ike asking them about their home­work, knowing the cur­r i cu lum, and moni tormg their progress w i l l help them be successful.

As I look back on my band experience I can see now that 1 lost an oppor­tunity to achieve at a high level . A s we move for­ward in our district, 1 am confident we can f ind ways to encourage al l stu­dents to perform at a high leve l and reach their t rue potential.

thing? Wish you could go back in t ime and tel l someone how you real ly felt about something, even though it may have you made look l ike a freak? Do you ever wish that or things were diifferent, that people weren't a f ra id to speak their minds?

The Nov i H igh School socia l issue group — (... awkward pause) — puts on shows for each class senior, junior, sophomore and freshman, and for the general public throughout the year Talk ing about the issues that everyone knows about but they are just too scared to actually say, their goal is to provide thought provoking theatre. They tackle issues that students face day to day: too much school work, pressure f rom par­ents, and friends/peer pressure.

The troupe wi l l be having their second performance of the 2011-2012 school year at 7 p.m. Dec. 1 in the B l a c k Box of the H igh School for $2 admission.

The M i -GMIS Award for Best Technology Project was awarded to Waterford Township and White Lake Township for an agreement between the two communities, which specifies that Waterford Township wi l l provide IT support and

services to White Lake. White Lake does not

have an in-house IT department; Waterford, on the other hand, has invested over the years in sophisticated networking and application infrastruc­ture, and has its own IT department. In exchange for an annual support fee, Waterford provides the IT support services that White Lake lacks internal­

ly. Waterford has an estab­lished point-to-point wire­less networlung infra­structure which ties build­ings distributed through­out the Township into the main Township L A N . The White Lake Township Hal l offices are tied into the Waterford L A N in the same manner as the oth­er Waterford facil it ies. Waterford is then able to provide Internet service.

ORDAN, ALFRED G.

DAWSON, BRUCE ARTHOR (ART), JR.

A resident ol Willils, California, died August 21. 2011 at age 81 in Santa Rosa, California.

Art is survived by Carole Dawson -his wife of 55 years, children - Lisa Dawson, Scott Dawson (Elizabeth Lawton), Marstiall Dawson (Mari Aixala Dawson) - and granddaugh­ters - Carolina and Isabella, who will miss tfieir "Papa." He is also survived by his neptiew. Walter Herbst. In addition, he leaves behind many friends and his chil­dren's friends whom he unofficially "adopted" as part of his extended family over his lifetime. Art was extremely proud of his children and their accomplishments, his wife and marriage, his grandchil­dren, and fiis service as a marine and his counlry. He was known for his occasionally gruff but wonder­fully direct nature, home spun jokes, outstanding work ethic and absolute devotion to those whom he loved - especially those he con­sidered his family and friends. An Dawson was born Bruce Arthur Dawson. Jr. on June 18. 1930 in Lincoln Park, Michigan to Bruce Arthur Dawson, Sr. and Catherine Dawson, He lived in Detroit, r ichigan during his childhood. During the Greal Depression, lo help support his family, he began a varied list careers he would have during his life including paper boy, ice cream carl driver and shop keep for his father's barber shop. He also nurtured his lifelong love of the oul of doors and Michigan, was a Boy Scout and enjoyed, foot-bail, skating, hunting, fishing, and camping among other pursuits. He graduated from Mackenzie High School in Detroit. Michigan. Art was drafted in lo the United Stales Marine Corps in 1951. He served proudly and faithfully in the U.S. lAarii\BCotps1or2vears. He com­pleted boot camp on Parris Island, where he was part of his platoon's football team, was stationed in El Toro and served in the Korean War as a mechanic. He loved to regale those who would listen about tiis boot camp exploits and as one of the Ichiban boys creating moon­shine, "borrowing" boots and other supplies and fashioning zip guns for his superior officers lo use crow hunting. After the war and during his college summers, he continued his varied carriers often working 2-3 different jobs at a time - especially within the auto industry including line man. pipe fitter and car reposesser of cars for Russ Dawson oddly, no relation). He attended Alma College, where he met his soon-to-be v/ife Carole T. Popek. They married June 16. 1956 in Milford. Michigan at the Milford Presbyterian Church. After several years in various small Michigan towns - happy, but "poor as church mice". Art made a home with Carole in Milford for 37 years, where they raised their 3 children. Art had many jobs during his life, though the longest and last was with Ford Motor Company for 37 years as a wastewater treatment specialist at the Ford Wixom plant. He was a great supporter of the Ford Motor company and proud lo produce Lincolns. But he was equally proud of his role in pro­tecting the environment and moni­toring the company on behalf ol the State of Michigan and main­tained professional certifications ranking him the highest licensed in water treatment in the Slate of Michigan. Art was also and avid modeler, model train enthusiast, gardener, carpenter, and outdoors-man. He was incredibly artistic and could see the possibility in the smallest item that many might consider junk - obviously instilled in him from surviving the Greal Depression. He loved "hiking with a gun" (hunting), fishing, and teaching others about the wonders of nature. He also loved the United Slates of America, its government and history, was a staunch conser­vative and a lifetime endowment member of the NRA. In 2001. Art and Carole retired lo Willits. California in Redwood Counlry. Art never gave up his love affair with Michigan. He and Carole even cel­ebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with family and friends on Lake Michigan. In California, he forged many new friendships, dove in to the garden and continued to hunt and fish as long as he was able. He was also a member of C.E.R.T. (California Emergency Response Team). He had the opportunity to spend time wilh his granddaughters and family, which gave him profound joy. There will be a private celebration of his life for friends and family in Willils, California.

Bob Gatt and Justin Fischer are vying to be city of Novi mayor, a two-year seat. Three City Council seats, each four years, are sought by seven candidates. The election is Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Name: Laura Casey Age: 40 Years a Noui resident: 11 Community involvement:

Over six years as a Novi Library Board

Why are you running for council?

How do you think city ad­ministration should deal with dwindling economic resources (layoffs, cut services, cut pro­grams, find other ways to cut costs or generate revenue)? ,

What do you believe you have to offer as a city council member?

Do you have specific goals if elected?

What three items should be at the top of the city's priori­ties list?

vice president of Stonehenge Condominium Association Board of Directors; member of the Friends of Novi Library; member of the Library Bond Campaign Committee; board member of three MSU Alumni organizations Related experience: more

than 16 years of business experience, including strategy and analysis, marketing, proj­ect management, public rela­tions and event management Profession: marketing Education: MBA, Walsh

College; MS in manage­ment, Walsh College; BA in American public affairs, James Madison College, MSU; BA in French, MSU

I firmly believe Novi can continue to be a vibrant and successful community and I want to be a part of shaping its future. We need to ensure that we're not just reacting to issues today but planning for how these issues may impact the city in the future. Serving on the Library Board, especially as president, has given me a lot of experience in managing a publicly-funded organization and I will bring that experience and my business experience to City Council. I believe I've made a difference for my fellow Novi residents through my work on the Library Board, and I want to expand my ability to contribute by serving on City Council.

We need to be innovative in sharing services and partner­ing with other communities and organizations. We should ensure that we're looking at best practices from other municipalities to find better ways to provide services to residents and businesses. Novi has made great strides in bringing in additional revenue and securing new services for residents through partnerships with South Lyon and North­ville and in pursuing grants for infrastructure projects and services like the electric car chargers at the library and police headquarters. This is exactly the strategic thinking that we need to continue and that I strongly support. I think the city administration has been extremely diligent and focused on cost cutting and working in partnership with other communities. They are looking at every possible op­portunity to be fiscally respon­sible and they should continue their efforts in these areas. Cutting services, programs and jobs should be the last resort.

I bring a strong business background and years of civic experience, including serving in several leadership roles on the Library Board. I have demonstrated success in working on multiple boards and setting and meeting goals and managing budgets in those organizations. For example, as a member of my condominium association's board, I worked to help bring multi-year budgeting to our complex and we now have a long-range plan that helps us plan for major expenditures for the next 30 years. I am a strategically-focused, for­ward-thinking, engaged Novi resident who is committed to our city, is energetic and dedicated, and has a strong desire to contribute to the well-being of Novi today and tomorrow.

My goals are to: • Ensure Novi's future success,

which requires fiscaf responsi­bility today and simultaneous planning for tomorrow. We should work together as a community to decide what our priorities are in the short term, with reduced economic resources, and what we want Novi to look like in 2020. Now is the time to ensure that we are planning to meet the needs of residents at the end of this decade " Encourage more Novi

residents to be active with the community through par­ticipation in a club or group or through the boards or commissions. Novi residents are caring and active in their neigTiborhoods and we need to find ways to involve them in the broader community. Having a diverse set of voices involved in the community helps to make our community stronger • Find innovative ways to

provide services to businesses and residents, including mak­ing necessary technology improvements

• Providing the best city services to our residents, especially in the area of public safety and making sure that we excel at providing the ba­sics like prompt snow removal and maintaining and improv­ing our infrastructure • Ensuring we have a fiscally

responsible city government that is driven by the priori­ties of our community. I will work with residents and local businesses to understand their priorities and will follow that direction when setting bud­gets and defining long-term strategies • Focusing on a long-term

strategy for growth and eco­nomic development - tf the revenue levels of today are the "new normal" it's more important than ever that we're planning for our future today

Name: Justin Fischer Age: 28 Years a Novi resident: life­

long resident Community involvement:

Novi City Councilmember (2009-present); 2oning Board of Appeals (2004-2009);

treasurer.

Emergency Response Team (CERT) graduate Related experience: Novi

City Councilmember (2009-present); Office of Congress­man Mike Rogers; Office of Senator Nancy Cassis Profession: executive com­

pensation and equity analyst, Corporate Finandal Reporting, Ford Motor Company Education: MBA, Michigan

State University Eli Broad Col­lege of Business; BA, finance, Michigan State University Eli Broad College of Business Family: wife Melissa

I am running for mayor of Novl because I care about the long-term future and viability of Novi. My wife, Melissa, and I both grew up in Novi, and plan to raise our children here. I believe my finandal background, education and sound judgment will prove valuable as we continue to face unprecedented economic times. I further believe that my experience giving back to the city of Novi will help me providethe leadership and fresh perspective so we can continue to build on our strengths and create the Novi of tomorrow. Novi residents expect and deserve a mayor who will serve with profes­sionalism and integrity. I would be honored to work with residents to take Novi to even greater heights.

Budget cuts over the last few years have been very wide­spread—there really isn't a part of the city that hasn't been impacted. Thus far, I commend the city administra­tion's efforts in dealing with dwindling economic resources and declines in revenue, and have been proud to have been a part council while we made very tough choices over the last few years. When deal­ing with declines in revenue, all options must be on the table; I believe it is irrespon­sible for an elected official to declare that certain services, employees or programs are untouchable when facing fall­ing revenue. I am hopeful we have made all required layoffs over the past few years. To deal with further cuts I would encourage a balanced ap­proach with strategic cost cut­ting to minimize the impart' to residents. Minor cutbacks throughout the city make more sense than complete elimination of a particular program or service.

I would bring a broad array of financial experience and private sector business experi­ence. I am a proud employee of Ford Motor Company and have held various finance and accounting roles throughout the company. I am proud to have worked in the automo­tive industry during some of its most trying times, and the experiences I have gained will prove invaluable if elected mayor. I also bring nearly a decade

of volunteer public sen/ice to the community and experi­ence from various levels of government. I presently serve on city coundl, and prior to being elected I served on the city's zoning board of appeals for five years. While on the board, I was elerted chair and vice-ciiair by my colleagues. I also served as treasurer of the Novi Parks Foundation, and have also spent time in the Office of State Senator Nancy Cassis and U.S. Congressman Mike Rogers.

My main goal would be to maintain the quality of life Novi residents have come to expert despite the economic ' times we continue to face. I would work to ensure that Novi not only offers a broad array of services, that all services are first-rate, and that they are run in an efficient manner. Another goal is to continue development of our sense of community. We know that many people move to Novi for the schools. We must further develop and showcase the many City services and amenities to attrart people of all ages, from newlyvyed couples to seniors enjoying their retirement. Lastly, it would be my goal to continue diversification of our tax base while promoting responsible Land Use in accordance with our Master Plan. We are at a pivotal time in Novi's growth, and must always consider what we want from our city many years in the future.

My three priorities would be: • Fiscal Responsibility— I

recognize that personnel costs make the majority of the City's budget. We must strike the right balance to ensure we are attrarting the right talent to serve the residents of Novi white ensuring we are operat­ing our city at a level we can

• Inclusive & Responsive Government — The City of Novi has over 50,000 residents. This is an immense talent pool that we need to ensure we are tapping into. 1 would work to encourage residents of all walks of life to get involved in local government, and ensure that as Mayor I am hearing from all residents. • Innovative & Sustainable

Economic Development — We must work to attrart high­tech firms that complement the automotive industry that makes up most of the south­east Michigan region, yet also can support a diverse array of other industries.

Name: Bob Gatt Age: 61 Years a Novi resident: 18 Community involvement:

Police officer, 27 years; started the D.A.R.E. program, retired as a shift commander in 1991. Related experience: Novi

I City Coundl

and American Motor Corp. Public Relations Department for three years. Profession: chief of Field

gree, Wayne State University, business administration/mar­keting/accounting; master's degree. Eastern Michigan University, public administra-tionrtechnology Family: wife Susan and six

children - Robert, Mary, Kaitlin, Christopher, Steven and Emily

I am running for mayor be­cause 1 love Novi, and I want to help mold its future while preserving its great history, i have worked for the citizens of Novi for almost 40 years, so I understand the community's great history and culture. During those nearly 40 years of service, I have gone to work with the same relentless focus: How can I make Novi a better and a safer community? What can I do to protert you and your family? I am the only mayoral candidate with the life, business and government experiences that are required to be an effeaive mayor. I have a strong business back­ground as well as a myriad of experience in government. I am a proven, tested leader. My knowledge of the city, its employee unions, the business leaders and the residents is unmatched.

The last thing we want to do is layoff city employees. The City of Novi has a dedicated, well-trained and well-edu­cated staff. The workers make Novi what it is — the best city in the state. However, city administration cannot ignore a reduced revenue stream. It must find ways to increase revenue while reducing costs. Redurtions in employee sala­ries and benefits always must be considered because the majority of any government costs are staffing. Employees, both union and non-union, must be part of the solution. Part-time staffing, where no benefits are paid, also should be considered wherever possible. We must leverage modern technology solutions to increase services, while us-ing-fewer resources. Working with city council and admin­istration, I will dirert our budget process to incorporate these ideas Into our financial planning.

I am the only mayoral can­didate with the life, business and government experi­ences that are required (and necessary) to be an effective mayor. I am married with six children. Anyone who has children knows that you artain numerous life experiences by raising that many kids! I have a strong business background, both in the automobile indus­try and government. I have always been a leader and team player on city council -and in all organizational experiences. My knowledge of the city, its employee unions, city administration, the busi­ness leaders and the residents is unequaled and invaluable. Finally, perhaps most telling, the people that you trust -numerous Novi business lead­ers, Novi community leaders, Novi school leaders and Novi neighborhood leaders - have endorsed me to be their next mayor. They know I am the best choice to replace David Landry when he leaves office.

As mayor, I would like to see Main Street developed and become a thriving part of the Novi community. Too many businesses are locating in other areas. We need to attrart them to Novi. We need to partner with our business community and use every tool that we have in our economic development box. I also would like to offer better transporta­tion services for the residents of Meadowbrook Commons so they don't have to choose between going to the dortor and purchasing groceries because of growing van-rid­ing costs. The older adult population throughout Novi is growing rapidly, and our Novi government must commit to meet their increasing needs. Likewise, we must continue to fund and grow our public safety departments. Our police and fire departments are second to none. We must maintain that glowing public-safety reputation, so Novi will continue to be an attrartive location for new families and businesses.

Public safety is the core rea­son for any local government to exist. This should be our top priority. We must continue to adequately fund our public safety departments In order to maintain our personnel at their optimum staffing levels. We also must provide adequate training and state-of-the-art equipment. Secondly, we must con­

tinue to generate additional revenue through a blended business/residential growth strategy. Our economic devel­opment team has to operate better, faster and smarter than all others. Wp have to be more innovative than other cities. And we have to offer a better produrt to attrart a lim­ited number of builders and businesses to Novl. Finally, the city must manage Its legacy costs by eliminating any new long-term obligations. As a former city employee and ne­gotiator, I understand how to deal with this problem better than anyone. We already have begun to cut our legacy costs. That trend must continue.

I am running for city council because I want to advance fiscally responsible policies. I want to help to guide Novi through this tough eco­nomic period facing America. I stand for a balanced budget and increase of our rainy day fund so as to meet our future challenges. I want to promote strong and efficient public safety with respert for our residents and visitors. I want to implement business friendly polides to advance economic development and steady growth. Finally, 1 want improvement to our infra-strurtures and city services. Al of these working together will improve the quality of life for the people of Novi.

First, we must find better ways to generate revenues, such as, provide incentives to attrart new businesses to Novi. Second, evaluate depart­ments and current programs to reduce costs and waste in spending;

A new vision and better perspertive to lead us into the future.

To advance fiscally respon­sible polides that will lead to economic development and growth.

I am well qualified for Novi City Council. I have experi­ence and dedication to serve. I bring passion and enthusiasm for Novi. I am committed to the vision of Novi as a quality residential city that can afford Itself. As a retiree I have time to invest into making that vi­sion a reality. Serving has beqn part of my life in Novi. I have been artive In the community and am honored to have been able to serve. Since my term on the council, I have been artive in the Novl Lions Club and in my church, holding leadership positions in both. Novi has been well-managed through our recent economic downturn — but we are not out of the woods yet. I will contribute to the new council to keep us on the straight and-narrow path.

Novi must provide quality, cost effertive services, enhanc­ing our quality of life. Nov! must persist in living effi-. ciently within our means, and continue being responsible stewards of taxpayer's dollars, Novi needs to continue to find ways to cut costs. Novl needs to find ways to further develop and invigorate our supportive tax base, while respertlng our environment. Novi needs to maximize use of available grant funding.

I am a long-term resident who has experienced the growth of Novi from a city of 7,000 to our current 55,000.1 have time to dedicate to Novi. I have both government and business experience. I enjoy working with diverse groups to resolve issues. I am an ac­tion oriented fiscal conserva­tive. I will strive to resolve issues in a timely manner and to make the rationale for decisions clearly understood. I will work cooperatively to hold the Novi administration responsible for execution of council policy and dirertron without micro managing. As a public servant, I will serve and represent Novi with integrity.

Maintain Novi as a quality residential city that can afford hself. We have gone through bur initial phase of develop-mer^ ahd nave endured and effectively managed the effects of a significant economic downturn. We now need to assess ourselves and prepare ourselves for the next phase of development which may Include ref inement and re-purposing. We need to be poised.and ready to execute = In a customer friendly manner. We need to ensure that any proposed new development contributes to Novi's chararter and quality of life. , No^ ' has many strengths as

evidenced by Family CIrde Magazine who, in August, awarded,Novi the sixth Best: Town in the U.S. for Families. Novi needs to maintain or enhance the'character and, ,' qualities that contributed to that decision: Green space, low aime'rate, finandal stabil­ity, affordable homes, access to health care, quality schools and diverse community. Re-in-vigorate^e-purpose under­used commercial properties. Maintain our roads.

• Continue efforts to attrart new or re-locating businesses. Consider incentives for vacant building re-use. • Establish better traffic

control, especially during rush hour and construrtlon. • Ensure DPW pursues a

rigorous subdivision mainte­nance program. Review road contrart quality of workman­ship and durability guaran­tees.

t am seeking re-elertion to another four-year team on Novi City Council because I believe I offer our residents the proven experience, conservative values, vision and leadership that can't be matched by any of the other candidate seeking a council seat. I am determined to stick to a solid course of artion, based on my core principles of lowering taxes, reducing spending and operating a city government that we can af- -ford. I will continue to support and advance the expansions of pathways and completion of sidewalks in the city. I will see to it that are streets are plowed, our roads are fixed and our citizens are safe.

During my first term on Novl City Council, I have been a . strong advocate of multi-year.' budgeting, a strong Fund Balance, and right-sizing Novl City government to operate within the limits of existing •': revenue sources. This means every cost-cutting option is on the.table, except where it effects the safety of our residents. I will n'otsupport General Fund tax increases . or using our fund balances :. (Rainy Day Fund) to pay for ' operations?Iaisoam opposed• to hew revenues by imposing new fees ori'residents and -business, like the emergency ' services recovery fee (crash taxes) or the tax collertion administrative fee (tax on ; taxes). 1 fought against those taxes from the beginning and kept us from getting deeper • into your pocket. <

I have dedicated my public service to the City of Novi's success and well-being and 1 am committed to making sure our city remains a great and safe place to live and to raise our families. I have a deep understanding ofthe issues facing the city and a prag­matic approach to governing. Time and again, I have proven that I will make the difficult decisions necessary in these harsh economic times, never forgetting that we must fix our streets, maintain our parks, plow our roads and protert our citizens. I believe that government should not answer all our needs. In Novi, I have leveraged my skills and abilities by creating the non­profit, privately-funded Nov! Parks Foundation and Canine Advocacy Program. Soth have achieved positive results, independent of adding more government and more tax burden.

fWy goals are largely an';. extension of my past four years in office. I would like to continue to Improving • cooperation and collaboration between the Novi Commu-^ nity School District and city; the expansion of pathwa^ ' ' and completion of sidewalks -throughout the city, induding the building of a trail through the nrc corridor; improver r ments to our parks, induding utilizing the green space at the school-owned Bosco prop­erty and improvenientsto .' the Landings Parkon Wailed Lake; improving access to bur -city facilities for physically.:-.: challenged and senior citizens; do a better Job of listening to our residents;when sharing :: concerns; preserving the fin--, est public safety department in Southeastern Michigan; continuing a capital improve­ment program within the dty: wrth limited f«nds; and raise Novi to No, 1 on the Family, Grde magazine list of the best places to live in the LJnited States.

• My top priority is right-siz­ing Novi City government to operate within the limits of existing revenue sources. I will not support a General Fund tax rate Increase, and I do not support the use of fund bal­ances (Rainy Day Fund) to pay for operations. • We must continue to main­

tain a strong and diverse tax base. This is accomplished by supporting the cit/s commit­ment to economic develop­ment and keeping the Master Plan current and reflertlve of the state of the community, while continuing to be very cautious In regard to retail or commercial development that is not consistent with our Master Plan. • We must assist our growing

senior population to live more independent and fulfilling lives. This can be accomplished by improving transportation services, increasing activity opportunities, supporting in­creased artivity space, improv­ing fadlitles and encouraging program participation and healthy lifestyle choices.

Novi is my home. I've lived in Novi for the past 27 years and I intend to live here for many years to come. Therefore, I want to see Novl remain the same vibrant city that Is it today. That being said. I have the experience, knowledge, expertise and desire required to make the difficult deci­sions that will face city council members to ensure Novi re­mains the place we are proud to call home.

There is not one single, dear-cut method for the city admin­istration to follow in dealing with the current situation of declining revenues and in­creasing costs while attempt­ing to keep the city financially viable and solvent It is the combination of implementing new revenue opportunities and cost savings prartlces. : .

' The city administration has -been successful in its efforts to reduce costs and generate additional non-tax revenue, but must continue to be chal­lenged by city coundl to be diligent in finding additional cost saving opportunities and revenue sources in the future. Novl residents expect the cun-ent levels of city services induding police and fire protertion as well as snow removal to remain the same or improve without increasing their tax burden. These can be achieved by the dty adminis­tration maximizing the value received for each tax dollar • spent and by running city gov­ernment like a business.

My current experience as a Novi City Council member, as well as the six years I served on the Novi Planning Commis­sion and the four years each sen/ing on the Novi Zoning Board of Appeals and the Novi Master Plan and Zoning Committee, has provided me with the necessary back­ground and understanding to be effertive in dealing with the affairs of city govern­ment This city service, along with the diverse management positions I have held during my 32 years at AT&T, enables me to bring a wide spertrum of experience and a business-based perspertive required to deal with the issues Novi will face in the future. Addition­ally, when evaluating an issue, I always take into consider­ation ail the facts presented and taking into account all sides of the issue. This decision making process enables me to make a fully thought-out informed decision which best serves Novi.

I have numerous short-and ' long-term goals that I would like to achieve if I retain my seat on dty council. Some of my short-term goals include: adding additional handicap parking spaces in the front of the Novi Qvic Center, review and change the existing senior transportation senrice within Novi to make it more afford­able and user-friendly, and to inaease the annual neighbor­hood road repair budget Long-term goals I would like to achieve are Implementing a multi-year city budget review­ing and possibly updating the existing dty charter making • it more current to enable ^ e dty to run more effidently, and to expand the existing senior center and increase the number of programs it offers senior dtizens.

• Maintain or improve the current levels of city ser­vices including police and.fire protertion as well as snow removal without increasing the resident's tax burden. • Increase the annual neigh­

borhood road repair budget to keep up with the growing number of aging neighbor­hood roads needing repair or replacement • Develop a balanced an­

nual city budget taking,into consideration future projerted decreases in revenue while continuing to maintain an 18-22 percent Resen/e Fund Balance.

I have been involved in state politics for over 12 years as a commissioner of Aging, commissioner for Asian Pacific American Affairs and in other capacities. As an active volunteer, I have worked on other committees in the past, including Novi Storm and Wa­ter management and Flood Control Committee, Novi International Festivals and youth soccer. About four years ago, our mayor asked me to join tine Novi Library Board as a trustee, and I enjoyed working during the design and construction on state of the art library we now enjoy. I am honored to continue to serve as trustee on the library board. My diverse skill sets and over 47 years of leader­ship and management experi­ences will be very helpful. My goal will be to be an effective member of the council. I care greatly about our city and will continue to help it grow.

How do you think city ad­ministration should deal with dwindling economic resources layoffs, cut services, cut pro­grams, find other ways to cut costs or generate revenue)?

We should continue looking for creative ways to gain more economic resources and con­tinue our efforts for commer-dal developments. Businesses and developers who consider coming to Nov! should be treated first as honored guests and then as valuable partners. The city, business community and citizens themselves will be gaining by our association with new businesses. Right­sizing the administration will take careful strategic plan­ning, when quality services can be maintained through , cooperative efforts across communities we should be looking at possibilities and rethinking our options. This will be critical as we strive to hold the line on taxes. Some departments need to find ways to be self sufficient. In all areas we need to focus on cost containment, cost cutting when feasible and when ap­propriate focus on developing fee for services for special use of facilities.

What do you believe you have to offer as a city council member?

Do you have specific goals if elected?

What three items should be at the top of the city's priori­ties list?

Novi is a tapestry of all races, cultures, religions and diver­sity and this is the strength of our city. There are 15.9 percent Asians as per the 20 ro census. Novi has businesses from India, Germany, Japan, Mexico and others. Governor Rick Snyder said

that "immigrants are one of the keys to reinvent Michigan by attracting highly skilled im­migrants to the state to boost its economy." As a commis­sioner of Asian Pacific Ameri­can Affairs, I will work as an ambassador to encourage and invite other ethnic communi­ties to bring their businesses to Novi. 1 will work with Michi­gan Economic Development Corporation to capitalize on investment opportunities and create additional avenues for the businesses to expand and establish a long-term presence in Novi. I will use my experi­ence as commissioner of Ag­ing to promote the quality of life and economic security and protect seniors from abuse, neglect and exploitation. I will ensure that seniors have a choice in where they live through access to information and services.

My goals will be to foster growth and economic devel­opment despite the current difficult economic times. I will work to increase residential, commercial developments to ensure a tax base sufficient to generate income for public safety, recreational services and public library.

• Promoting Novi as an in­vestment destination for busi­nesses and homes to diverse communities. • Enhandng opportunities to

improve the quality of services to all ages including senior citizens. • Supporting assets areas

such as public safety housing and transportation to further stimulate the economic devel­opment of the city of Novi

lam running for the Novi School Board because I am a parent and educator that is concerned about our students and school district. I also desire to work with a school board that focuses on ensuring an . exceptional curriculum pro­gram for all students within the district that will positively impact the success of students in their post-secondary edu­cational career. I have been in the educational profession for 12 years, and serve on two charter school boards as a recording secretary. I believe that I am knowledgeable about the edUBlional prb'cess

dirtrict's'board "of education, and would be a valuable asset to this district'

• Meeting the diverse cultural needs of all students and families as the minority population in Novi steadily increases. I would address this by providing surveys to families to adequately address their needs and provide resources to assist them with education of themselves and their families. • Bridging the educational gap

of students that transfer into the Novi School Distria and en­suring that they are academical­ly successful; while at the same time sustaining and improving the academic and standard­ized testing success of students based on Michigan Department of Education requirements. I would implement an entrance exam for transfer students to test their academic proficiency to assist with their education. In addition, I would implement quarterly standardized testing 'and provide workshops to addrMsthe identified problem" areas. • Maintaining a high standard

of educational success and program offerings while the budget/revenue continues to shrink. I would implement district wide school fundraisers and recruit corporate sponsors. I would also encourage admin­istration to aggressively search for grants to offset expendi­tures as much as possible.

I believe that the school board communicates well with the public by offering various avenues of communi­cation including the televised broadcast of the board meetings and on the internet accessibility of the board meeting minutes. However, the board could improve its communication with the public by sending out e-mails and mailings to the public informing them of pertinent school district information. Also, consistent and constant feedback from the public re­garding any questions and/or concerns that they have about the school distrirt is extrernely vital:lri improving Wri effectii|/e and thbroughly relationship between the board and the public

Yes, I believe there is a long-term solution to negotia­tions with the various district unions. A long-term solution is achievable by establishing an effective relationship between both parties that communi­cates well and ultimately is able to obtain a mutual agree­ment that is beneficial for all.

1 would prioritize the budget by discussing with school district administra­tion, employees, families, and students to assess their needs and their expectations of the school board. After receiving feedback from the various parties, I would have a more thorough ability to prioritize the budget. However, I believe the majority of the budget ex­penditures involve employee salaries and benefits followed by the educational and cur­riculum resources needed to educate and ensure the aca­demic success of all students in

I love kids. From my early days babysitting, to having four of my own, I have always loved children. I continue to see that as an asset to my work on the school board. The focus should always be on the students, whose education we are entrusted with. Learning is my passion. I was blessed to attend an excellent public school, and still remember many of the teachers that im­pacted my life. They instilled in me a lifelong love of learn­ing. I want the same for the children of Novi and am eager to play a part in instilling a passion for learning in each of them. I also believe that having active parents on our board is critical to the deci- . sion-making process. Living with the impact of those deci­sions gives me a perspective that allows me to give voice to the concerns that many of our parent stakeholders share.

• Economic challenges con­tinue to require advocacy for stable education funding. Ad­ditional challenges are created by legislative proposals that eliminate local control. Both are critical to Novi's ability to provide the quality educa­tion that is expected in this community and deserved by every child. I will continue to actively advocate on behalf of Novi's children. • Being one of the best school

districts in the state makes marked progress in student achievement a challenge. With our recent administra­tive changes, Novi appears poised to take on this challenge with renewed energy and a strengthened commitment to the vision of the district. Work­ing with this administration to keep a laser focus on student achievement will be my priority. • Novi's shifting demographic

requires diligent attention to the needs of every child. I will continue to be an accessible listener, critical thinker, and creative problem-solver as we seek to address each child's educational needs.

The board is comprised of seven people, and it is the collective voice that is "the board", not the individual one. As the designated spokesperson for "the board", much of the responsibility for comnnunicating falls on the shoulders of our elected president. As a whole, the board makes every effort to keep the community apprised of meetings, decisions, and actions by videotaping and video-streaming our meet­ings. The district website and local media provide additional venues for interested citizens. As with anything we do, there is always room for improve­ment. Providing a venue for informal interaction prior to board meetings, using social media, or even sending letters to the editor about upcom­ing concerns/issues are all possible means of improving our efforts to keep the public informed. Dedicating addi­tional time to communication matters is something we need to consider when we fall short of community expectations in this regard.

Long-term solutions are composed of short-term goals and continuous process im­provement plans. We need to be about this in every aspect of our board work, induding our negotiations with our employee groups. Putting those plans and goals in place should be one of the board goals that are identified in the coming year. Aside from this, there are two things that are crucial to negotiations. One is keeping our focus on the kids. In the end, this is what mat­ters. It is the reason we are all here. The other is to work at developing and maintaining a strong relationship by treat­ing one another respectfully, valuing each other's roles, being honest, and listening to one another even if we disagree. This relationship sets a positive tone for our district, and allows us to be all about educating, not negotiating, which directly benefits our children.

The budget serves as a road map for our district mission. Student achievement is the highest priority. We must live within our means, but it can never be at the expense of our students or their level of achievement. It is crucial that we maintain our f inances.in a way that does not jeopardize our mission. Focusing our dwindling resources in the areas that have significant impact on student achieve­ment will require us to assess and evaluate our current programs and services as they relate to student achievement with 21st century skills. How do they, most effectively and efficiently, meet the needs of each child? Which students are not meeting their poten­tial? What can we do to meet those needs and address any deficits? These are just some of the questions we must ask as we prioritize our budget to meet the educational goals we have for each of our students.

I believe the current fiscal challenges require someone with experience and knowl­edge of both this district's operating budget and its long-term pursuit of academic excellence, i believe 1 am well suited to meet those require­ments. I've had the honor and privilege to serve as a trustee on the Novi Board of Education for 16 years. I am asking you for your continued support for another four-year term. We've been through a lot together, during my 16 years of service. I hope you are as proud as I am of our great, nationally-acclaimed school district I love the Novi School District. I enjoy watching our children perform at their best during athletic contests, musi­cal concerts, theatrical events and robotic competitions. I am dedicated to the Novi commu­nity, and I want to maintain -andgrow- the educational excellence that has made our district the crown jewel of pur great City.

• It's imperative we focus on instructional quality and academic excellence for all our students. We need to mini­mize academic "gaps" among our diverse population. We need to develop high-quality educational programs and choices for our parents and students. • I am proud that I have built

a strong reputation for fiscal conservatism over the years, without sacrificing Novi's sta­tus as a premier school district in the state of Michigan. I understand the need to be fis­cally responsible, while keep­ing our children's education as a top priority. I have helped protect our schools from fac­ing severe budget cuts and massive layoffs during the state's tough economic times. • We have a new and

talented superintendent and an entirely new cabinet of administrators. I look forward to sharing my knowledge, his­tory and heritage with them to help elevate Novi schools to even higher levels of student achievement

I pride myself in being one of the strongest grassroots com­municators on the Novi Board of Education. For those of you who don't know me, it's easy to find me. I attend mul­tiple athletic contests, band concerts and theatre events. I am very approachable, and I want to hear your feedback. In the new few months, our administration will be launch­ing a new feedback system to help improve our communica­tion with the public. This is an exciting time because we have a new and talented superin­tendent and an entirely new cabinet who are bringing energy and enthusiasm to our great district. This new administration, along with our school board, is dedicated to improving communications and the quality of customer service to all our stakeholders.

The long-term solution to negotiations is to recognize and remember that we're all in this together. No one likes to use the term "shared sacri­fice," but that's what we ALL face in the state of Michigan, both in the private and public sectors. Our state continues to suffer economically, and our funding from Lansing contin­ues to decline. This is a time in our history when we all must pull together in negotiations and remain focused on our kids. We must work together to ensure that all our students get the opportunity to excel academically and socially in our district. If we continue to make negotiation decisions based on providing a world-class education for our Novi kids, then we will survive this difficult time in our state's economy.

My No. 1 objeaive is to ensure than the majority of your tax dollars are spent in our classrooms. I am proud that I have built a strong reputation for fiscal conserva­tism over the years, without sacrif idng Novi's status as a premier school district in the state of Michigan. I under­stand the need to be fiscally responsible, while keeping our children's education as a top priority. We have protected our schools from facing the

. severe budget cuts and mas­sive layoffs that surrounding districts have been forced to implement We remain a prime destination for incom­ing families who move to the state of Michigan because we have a great school district with wonderful prograrhs and outstanding academic opportunities. Novi's families are incredibly invested in their children's success. Parent in­volvement is high. Our district has a bright future, and I want to be a part of it - with you.

Karmanos recently honored Novi's Nick Smither for his breast cancer efforts.

K a r m a n o s h o n o r s S m i t h e r f o r b r e a s t c a n c e r e f f o r t s

Since 1995, the Barba­ra Ann Karmanos Can­cer Institute has recog­nized individuals, cor-porj(tions and organiza­tions for their demon­strated leadership in rais­ing awareness of breast cancer through educa­tion, research and the promotion of ear ly detec­tion, treatment and sto­ries of survivorship. Con­tinuing this tradition and to celebrate Nat ion­al Breast Cancer Aware­ness Month, the K a r m a ­nos Cancer Institute hon­ored 12 awardees, includ­ing Novi 's N ick Smither, at its 17th Annual Heroes of Breast Cancer Awards on Oct. 11 at the M a x M . Fisher Mus ic Center.

For 17 years, Ford Motor Company has been the National Series Spon­sor of Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Since 1995, Ford has dedicated more than $110 mil l ion to drive us toward Komei i 's vision of a world with­out breast cancer. More than 80,000 Ford employ­ees have run or walked in Races across the coun­

try to support the cause, and thousands of Ford Dealers across the nation have gotten involved. For those achievements. Ford, as a company, has been honored by K a r m a ­nos with a one-time-only Heroes award. However , this year, Karmanos hon­ors an individual fi-om Ford whose leadership has made such a dist inc­tive mark.

As corporate champi ­on of Ihe Susan G . K o m e n Race for the Cure, Smi th ­er has galvanized thou­sands from the Ford Motor community, and through his example, drives others to help end breast cancer forever.

"What a great su ipr ise and honor, thank y o u ! " said Smither. "Howev­er, the real heroes are our fantastic Ford team and volunteers who show up in increasing numbers each year to support the fight against breast cancer."

Smither is the co ipo-rate champion for Komen Detroit Race for the Cure , in addition to other wor­thy causes Ford supports.

As group vice president and chief information officer, Smither's plate is already extremely ful l . Yet, year after year, he asks Ford employees to step up and join h im and his family on Race day. He challenges everyone to join the crowd; the excite­ment and the momen­tum that wi l l help lead to a cure. He asks his col­leagues to bring all o f that energy they use every day to make Ford the ca r com­pany Detroiters are so proud of, and he encour­ages them to make a dif­ference through cash donations and purchas­es of Warriors in P ink items. Smither has done this through some of the hardest times the auto industry has seen. Yet, he connects to the mantra shared by Race support­ers: "Times are tough, but breast cancer is tougher. And metro Detroiters are the toughest of al l ."

This year, Ford brought a team of more than 2,500 members decked

out in their Ford T-shirts. Behind the scenes, inspired by Smither's reminders of the strength and courage it takes to fight breast cancer 365 days a year; those Ford Warriors ra ised $46,000.

"At the Karmanos Can­cer Institute, research is

.the foundation of every­thing we do and the surest path to eradicate al l can­cers," said Ceroid Bepler, M.D., Ph.D., president and CEO, Karmanos Can­cer Institute. "Al though we work year-round to advance treatments for all cancers, this month we recognize those who continue to help us in the fight against breast can­cer - whether it's advanc­ing science or ra l ly ing co-workers, fr iends and community to be a part of something greater than all of us. Together, we are making progress and sav­ing lives. We congratulate this year's honorees and ask for everyone's contin­ued suppoit as we work to end this disease."

Legislators laughing all the way to the bank

Obfuscation, smoke and mirrors. Illusion, fool the voters... what's new?

Throughout the years, our honor­able (?) state legislators have virtu­ally awarded themselves inflated salaries and benefits second only to California's legislative body. They're entitled, they claim, because they perform a full-time job in spite of their other pursuits (e.g. contractors, lawyere, consultants, accountants, insurance brokers, etc.) or seeking another elective office or appoint­ment to a government job that would provide another pension when term limits force them to move on.

The fact that legislators are in session approximately only 100 days a year, occasionally for a shockingly brief time with outrageous absen­teeism, is downplayed and seldom publicized.

The gimmick aeated to ensure , , . pay increases without political- 6:; f j n percussion: the representatives and senators must vote against any pay increase recommended by a nebu­lous entity created by statute. Thus, their income has grown to almost $ 100,000 per an abbreviated year.

Recently, our honorable (?) legislators conspicuously agreed to share the sacrifice expected of most state employees. The token effort by the House (96-11) in favor of immediately eliminating the $5,300,000 annual health care benefit for almost all legislators was a sham. The House members were well aware that the Senate version of the bill would prevail, and all but 16 would be guaranteed state paid health insurance that, according to my math, amounts to $36,000 per year per legislator (148) for the rest of their lives after only six years on the "job."

While pondering this situation, one should consider that becoming an elected state senator or repre­sentative demands the least amount of obligatory standardized prepara­tion of most, if not all, professions including barbers, chefs, teachers, carpenters, doctors, electricians, etc. Only one other profession, that I can think of, requires no training, education, or experience. The differ­ence between the two professions is a legislator must be old enough to vole, but, significantly, the other • pros' income depends on perfor­mance and output. The legislators' pay is steady, regardless.

When are Michigan voters going to start paying attention to the actions and, often, the inactions of the amateurs in Lansing fumbling through their on-the-job-training until their retirement after six or eight years?

Does anyone know if they are eligible for severance pay if they quit before term limits take effect?

In his pres­ent position he is responsible for preparing and administering a yeariy budget, as well as bein^ respon­sible for 60-plus employees. Having worked for Robert Gatt for eight years in his cunent position with Oakland County, I found him to be a man of integrity. It is because of this he has rightfully earned the respect of the citizens and business leaders of Novi. Although I do not live in the city of Novi, I feel Robert Gatt deserves your vote for mayor.

Make Gatt mayor I am writing in support of Bob

Gatt's candidacy for the office of mayor of Novi. People enter the po­litical ring for many different reasons — s o m e to further a personal or po­litical agenda, others seek to "step up to the plate" of public service. Bob Gatt is part of the latter group. His primary motive js to sen/e the people of the dty he loves and has served honorably for over 35 years, first as a Novi police officer, then as a council member. I was privileged to serve with him during many of those years as a fellow police officer. We stood many watches together as partners^ and 1 learned to trust his judgement during some tense situ­ations on the street when there was only one chance to do it right.

Bob Gatt is an innovative leader with a bunch of common sense, who can lead the City of Novi through these hard times. I urge the voters to send him to the mayor's of­fice so that he can continue serving the citizens of the City of Novi.

Phillip C Schoen Novi PD, retired

Gatt for mayor of Novi I have known Bobby since child­

hood, I first ran into him (literally) while playing baseball. I was playing

for Presentation of Our Lady and Bobby was catching for SL Monica's. I was rounding third trying to cross the plate in time to score the win­ning run. The ball got to the catcher (Bobby) about a second or so before I got to home plate. There was a col­lision and Bobby dropped the ball, thus I scored the winning a in !

While Bob and the whole team were disappointed in not winning the game, he walked up to me after and congratulated me and our whole team for the victory. That was 43 years ago, and what 1 admire most about Bob is his fairness. Bob is very competitive, and that's OK; he's a fighter in what he believes in, he is stealth with his organizational skills, and he is a great communica­tor both in writing and speaking. However, the most important aspect is he is fair and truthful.

We grew up together, attended SL Francis De Sales High School in Detroit. And while our paths have taken us in different directions, we

' if I needed him to be at my side, ge.'; would befhereas lwouia for 'h imr" ' , He is kind, courageous, faithful, honest and loyal. I just wanted to let the voters of Novi to know a little more about Bob Gatt.

Ron Ferrise , Henderson, Nev,

Fischer for mayor Justin Rscher is my neighbor

and friend. He sat on Pointe Park Condominiums Homeowner's Board as treasurer for three years and was a great asset to our board and association. Justin is honest and ; hard working with an extremely gcxjd work ethic. He is a gradu­ate of Michigan State University with a master's degree in business administration. He is always looking to achieve new goals in his life and career

I was excited when he was elected to the Novi City Council two yeans ago. He has done a great job for the dty of Novi in all the positions he has held. 1 know that he will be a great mayor for Novi. I will give all my sup­port to Justin when he is running for mayor and when he is elected.

Social Security is secure Texas Gov Rick Perry has called

Social Security a Ponzi scheme yet nothing could be further from the truth. Throughout its 70-year existence, even in times of war and during recessions, Social Security has never failed to deliver monthly checks. In its present state, the sys­tem is solvent until 2037 and with a few minor changes, it will continue to be solvent far into the future.

There is a great deal o f confusion and misunderstanding about the Social Security system.

Iore than many in our state, M ich i ­gan's seniors are

st ruggl ing to make ends meet these days. Many face tough decisions such as whether to buy gro­ceries o r pay the elec­tr ic b i l l . Even those doing wel l know they have to pinch every penny in this uncertain economy.

Too often, health care is where seniors end up cut­ting corners to save mon­ey. A s executive director of Michigan's A rea Agen­cies on A g i n g Associa­tion, I know that the costs of health insurance and prescr ipt ion medications are of constant concern to our senior citizens.

I also know how impor­tant it is to take care of our health as we get old­er, and especially to catch

problems before they get serious or worsen. Many of us are i n and ' outof the ' ' doctor's oiffice pre­

cisely because we took our health fpr granted when vve were yotmger. And we all know people who woiild he ., alive today i f they'd gone to . a doctor sooner or managed

care participants is taking advantage of these life-sav­ing services. We need to spread the word that they no longer have to pay co-pays or deductibles for pre-

• ventative services such as: • annual wellness v is­

its, including a review of medical history and pre­scriptions;

•screen ings for pros­tate, breast and cerv ica l cancer;

• mammograms; • screenings for cardiovas­

cular issues and diabetes; , • counseling to quit smoking; and

• f lu , pneumonia and hepatitis B shots.

Combined with the pre­scription drug savings that the Affordable Care Ac t is providing, these Medicare changes are sig­nif icantly cutt ing health care costs for Michigan's

seniors. They're mak­ing it possible for more people in Michigan to be healthy and active work­ers, grandparents, vol­unteers and members of our communities. They're even saving lives.

I encourage you to make sure that the Medicare par­ticipants in your family know about the free pre­ventative services avail­able to them. These bene­fits and more are outlined in "Your Guide to Medicare's Preventive Services," a 26-page handbook that is avail­able at some local locations oronlineatthe Michigan Medicare/Medicaid Assis­tance Program's website, w^vw.mmapincorg.

' M y Son the Waiter' at A n d i a m o

For New York City comedian Brad Zimmerman, life as a struggling actor wasn't turning out as he hoped it would. So when he started to feel the pressure from his family to make something of himself, he decided to capitalize on his disappointing experience by creating a

one-man show: "My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tl-agedy." Zimmerman's hit show can be seen at the Andiamo Novi The­atre through Oct. 30 with performances run­ning Thursdays-Sun­days.

Part theatre, part stand-up, Zimmerman's

homey send-ups on his childhood, fami­ly, career and misbegotten love life are as warm and poignant as they are hilar­ious (i.e. Brad's mom to her friends: "If all goes well, Brad is going to buy a bookcase.").

A regular at America's top casinos, ' resorts and comedy clubs, Zimmer­man played Johnny Sack's lawyer on "The Sopranos" television series and has opened for such notables as the late George Carlin, Brad Garrett, Susie Ess-

Zimmerman

man, and the Smothers Brothers. He has also opened for Joan Rivers, who was quoted as saying "I've had three great opening acts in my lifetime: Bil­ly Crystal, Garry Shandling, and Brad Zimmerman."

For ticket information, call the box office at (248) 348-4448; Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000; or on-line at www.ticket- master.com. The Andiamo Novi Theatre is located at 42705 Grand River Avenue, Novi.

Interior des ign consultat ion Gorman's Home Furnishings and Inte­

rior Design will host an "Ask A Design­er" event on Saturday, Oct. 22, and Sun­day, Oct. 23, at Novi showroom.

C r e d i t U n i o n D a y is i m p o r t a n t International Credit Union Day (ICU

Day) is designed to create awareness and celebrate the ways credit unions improve the lives of their members around the world.

There are more than 49,000 credit unions in the world serving nearly 184 million peo­ple in 97 countries.

This year's theme, "Credit Unions Build a Better World." celebrates the important economic and social contributions cred­it unions make to their communities world­wide. It also aligns cooperatively owned and controlled credit unions wiUi die great­er cooperative business sector and the United Nations as tiiey launch die Interna­tional Year of Cooperatives 2012 later diis yean

Here are fiomepoints that make credit unions unique.

Equal Ownership - Credit unions are democratically controlled and member-owned and operated. Each member has equal ownership and one vote regardless of

how much money he or she has in savings. Not For Profit - Credit unions are not-for-

profit financial cooperatives that provide a safe, convenient place for members to save money and access loans and other financial services at reasonable rates.

Social Purpose: People Helping People - Credit unions exist to serve their mem­bers, not to make a profit Every member counts, including those of modest means. This "people-fu-st" philosophy impels credit unions and tiieir employees to get involved in their community and support worthwhile causes.

Volunteer Leadership - Each credit union is governed by a volunteer board of direc­tors elected by and from the credit union's membership.

Financial Education for Members - Cred­it unions place particular importance on educational opportunities for their mem­bers and Uie public to help everyone become better educated consumers of fmancial services.

i

On October 20,2011, credit union members around the world will celebrate Internation­al Credit Union Day, an event to commem­orate the credit union movement's impact and achievements.

Credit unions are not-for-profit finan­cial cooperatives that provide an effective and viable alternative to for-profit financial institutions for more than 184 million mem­bers in 97 countries worldwide. They exist to serve their mem­bers, providing a safe place to save money and access affordable loans.

Since 1948, Interna­tional Credit Union Day has been cele­brated annually on

; rthe third-Thursday-of-i October. Each year, ! the international event • affords the opportuni-.-I ty to remember credit i' unions'proud history. • and promote aware-\ ness of and support. ; for the credit union j difference. This year's i theme, "Credit Unions i BuUd a Better World," i celebrates the impor­

tant economic and social contributions credit unions make to their communi­ties worldwide. It also aligns cooperatively owned and controlled credit unions with the greater cooperative business sector and the United Nations, which will launch the International Year of Cooperatives 2012 lat­er this year.

Credit unions are recognized as a force for positive econom­ic and social change and have provided sig­nificant value in both developed and emerg­ing nations. World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU), the international trade association and devel­opment agency for credit unions world­wide, and numerous national credit union trade associations and federations around the world sponsor International Credit Union Day.

h i s t o r y o f c o m m u n i t y o w n e r s h i p a n d s u p p o r t

This is the story of an idea. A simple idea: that people could pool their money and make loans to each other. It's the credit union idea, and it evolved from the cooperative activities of early 19th century Europe.

The first of these coop­eratives vyas an 1844-marketing cooperative organized by a group of workers in Rochdale, England. That same year in Germany, Victor Aime Huber began developing and publicizing some of the early European coop­erative theories. The idea

-of-credi societies- vas-a— part of this effort.

Credit Societies are -considered the birth of . Credit Unions. Moved by the crop failure and famine that had devas­tated Germany in 1846-1847, Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch and Friedrich Wilhehn Raiffeisen cre­ated the first true cred­it unions in the mid-19th century. After organizing a cooperatively owned mill and bakery, Schul-ze-Delitzsch founded the first "people's bank" in 1852 to provide cred­it to entrepreneurs in the city. Raiffeisen had estab­lished a credit society in Flammersfeld, Germa­ny in 1849 that depended on the charity of wealthy

men for its support. He remained committed to that concept until 1864, when he organized a new credit union for farmers along the principles of cooperative interdepen­dence, a community-first mentality and a volunteer management structure that are still fundamen­tal today

The credit societies in Germany, and simi­lar institutions founded by Luigi Luzzatti in Ita­ly, were the forerunners of the large cooperative "banks" which aboimd in Europe today.

Over the years^cred- - -it unions spread to com­munities around the world. In the early 1900s Alphonse and Dori-mene Desjardins start­ed a credit union (caisse populaire) in L^vis, Que­bec. Shortly thereaf­ter, Alphonse, along with Americans Edward A. Filene andRoyF.Ber-gengren, helped establish credit unions in the Unit­ed States.

As time passed, a desire emerged to estab­lish an annual occasion to acknowledge both the credit unions' important role in creating opportu­nity for their members and communities and the achievements of pioneers who laid the foundation

for ongoing credit union success. Hence, The First Credit Union Day.

On January 17,1927, the Credit Union League of Massachusetts cele­brated the first official holiday for credit union members and workers. They selected January 17 because it was the birth­day of America's "Apos­tle of Thrift," Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), who early credit union found­ers believed symbol­ized "the life and teach­ing embodied in the spir­it and purpose of credit unions."

.Ironically, rapid growth within the North Amer­ican credit union move­ment meant that people were either too busy to celebrate or too new to the movement to recog­nize the significance of the celebration. After a brief trial period. Credit Union Day quietly disap­peared.

The celebration received a Second

Chance. In 1948, the U.S. Credit Union Nation­al Association (CUNA) decided to initiate a new national Credit Union Day celebration. CUNA and CUNA Mutual Insur­ance Society set aside the third Thursday of Octo­ber as the national day of observance. By then, many more of Ameri­ca's credit union lead­ers believed there was a need for an occasion

• that would bring people together to reflect upon credit union history and achievements and to pro­mote the credit union

• idea across He country. ~ Credit-unions state '

' credit union leagues in the United States and many of the informal

: credit union chapters in each state were encour­aged to celebrate the new holiday in some way. It was to be a time for rais­ing funds for movement causes and to pay hom­age to the men and wom­en who had dedicated

their lives to credit union development.

During the 1950s, CUNA's World Extension Department provided technical assistance and philosophical guidance for credit union develop­ment worldwide. So many countries had established credit union movements by 1964 that CUNA for­mally expanded its mis­sion and laimched CUNA International.

New movements joined the credit union family each year, and an increas­ing number of people were interested in cel­ebrating iheir unit ue-—^ ••: ness and unity with a spe­cial holiday that could be enjoyed by everyone-regardiess of religion, political beliefs, culmral differences or language. Many credit unions and leagues began to distrib­ute publications; banners, slogans and kits, and Credit Union Day became an international celebra­tion.

Many people are wrongly rejected when they apply Tor Social Security Disability benefits. Money was taken out of their paychecks for Social Security taxes to ensure that they would receive disability benefits if they could no longer work full-time. Sadly, the government denies approximately 60% of those who apply for disability benefits.

Attorneys J.B. Bieske and Jennifer Alfonsi have 42 years combined experience representing only Social Security disability clients. And they personally meet with all clients and appear personally at all court hearings. Many large firms assign inexperi-enced attorneys to your case. And some of these firms are located thousands of miles away and only fly the attorney in the day of the court hearing. Attorneys Bieske and Alfonsi have vast experience before local Michigan judges.

Attorneys Bieske ahd Alfonsi can often make a winning differ­ence at the application stage. A n d , If an appeal Is necessary they have won several hundred cases before a court date is even set.

Those denied can appeal on their own but statistics for many years reveal that those represented by attorneys win a much higher percentage of appeals. And attorneys who specialize in Social Security Disability cases win a much higher percentage yet.

In addition to practicing only Social Security dlsa'jility law attorney Bieske has written a book for attorneys about the

subject and has been interviewed on various television programs. Both attorney Bieske and Alfonsi have also been interviewed on radio programs and have given speeches to many groups.

Attorneys Bieske and Alfonsi offer free phone or office consultation. If they represent you, there will be n o fee c h a r g e d unt i l af ter t h e c a s e Is won . TTie fee is a percentage of retroactive benefits.

Bieske and Alfonsi represent clients from all over the state of Michigan. Their Uvonia office is on Six Mile Road just west of I-275. Their Novi office is located on Haggerty Road just north of 12 Mile Road. Call them at 1-800-331-3530 forafree consultation if you have been denied, or if you are thinking of possibly applying for Social Security benefits.
