Woods man faces 12 felony charges 

Cooperation 

results in arrest 

ByKathyRyan 

Staff Writer 

A 21-year-old Grosse Pointe Woods 

resident has been arraigned on 12 

felony counts related to a rash of larcenies 

from automobiles in Grosse Pointe 

Woods and Grosse Pointe Shores. 

Nicholas Durham was taken into custody 

Thursday, July 23 after police 

found him inside his house on Vernier 

with a GPS device that had been taken 

from a car earlier that day. Police had 

Durham under surveillance after it was 

determined he used a credit card stolen 

in Grosse Pointe Shores. 

Police, armed with a search warrant, 

also found several items reported stolen 

from cars over the past several weeks, 

including wallets, cell phones, power 

cords and a passport. 

Durham has been charged with one 

count of larceny from a vehicle, a five-

If cities recruited residents the way sports 

teams vie for players, Helen Bai would be 

Grosse Pointe's top prospect. 

The 30-year Shores resident scored last week 

by rejecting a $188 property tax cut and inking 

the city a check complete with a $62 bonus. 

"I have a check for $250 to keep our services 

as best we can," Bai told a meeting of the city 

council. "It's not a gesture. It's a stand—a stand

unchanged. If I have to pay more for them, so be

"Helen Bai is the type of resident I'm going to 

be on the lookout for," said Dale Scrace, mayor 

of the City of Grosse Pointe. 

"Maybe she wants to move to the Farms?" 

said Farms Mayor James Farquhar.

City's explanations 

rejected 

By Brad Lindberg 

StaffWriter 

Fallout from last winter's municipal election has a 

half-life that may live until put to rest in court. 

Newly-elected city Councilman Dan Schulte said 

he plans to "take the next step in due process" 

against Grosse Pointe Shores officials he believes violated 

state law by meddling in his challenge for office. 

Schulte rejected recent explanations of why City 

Manager Brian Vick forwarded his campaign literature 

to the city attorney prior to election day. 

"I have hard evidence that they spent public money 

investigating campaign materials," Schulte said 

"The next step would be to file this with the attorney 

general's office. When you try to interfere with the 

free election process, it goes against the Constitution 

the country was founded on." 

Vick and city attorney Mark Mclnerney deny investigating 

anyone. 

Rather, Vick said he was just trying to get up to 

speed on municipal issues when, his first week on 

the job last January, residents questioned him about 

council candidate Janice Pemberton's assertions regarding 

the proposed city charter. 

Vick said he forwarded Pemberton's literature,

And now from beautiful 

downtown Grosse Pointe 

Shores, it's the City Council 

Show. Mr. Mayor, come on 

down. 

Shores council members 

aren't sure whether a suggestion 

to televise their meetings 

is a good idea. 

Councilman Dan Schulte 

proposed it as a way to inform 

residents of city business. 

"It's healthy for the city," 

Schulte said. "It will help increase 

civic awareness." 

Mayor Dr. James Cooper 

asked Gty Manager Brian Vick 

to study the matter and report 

back in one or two months. 

"Based on talking, to other 

managers (and) council' members 

who have it, negatives can 

be counifll members using it 

for political reasons; basically 

running down their laundry 

list," Vick said. 

He cited C-SPAN broadcasts 

where "elected officials stand 

there to get their 15 minutes. 

They want their sound bite." 

On the other hand, Vick said, 

"The good side is a resident 

can turn on the TV and see 

what's going on." 

Back to the downside, Vick 

said, "You don't get free-flowing 

dialogue. You get measured, 

political responses and 

positioning." 

Council meetings already 

are recorded and videotaped, 

but not broadcast. 

"We've looked into this before," 

said Mayor Dr. James 

Cooper. "There is a cost." 

Probably not much cost, according 

to Schulte. 

"We have equipment to put

"It's a matter of putting a

2010 census—It's in our hands 

ByAnnL.Fouty 

Features Editor 

Since 1790, a census has 

been taken every 10 years. 

Next year means it's time 

again for all those living in the 

United States, citizens or not, 

to be counted. 

Census data determines 

how $300 billion in federal 

funding is allocated, annually. 

The number of Congressional 

seats is based on the census. 

Michigan stands to lose up to 

three seats due to the state's 

loss of population. 

Foreseeing these critical areas, 

the Grosse Pointe 

Chamber of Commerce staff 

and the Pointes municipal 

staffs updated the address list 

whereby a census form will be 

mailed in March. Completed 

forms should be returned by 

April 1. Census workers will 

visit households not responding. 

The canvas is done May 

through July, door to door. 

Each will have identification 

issued by the Census Bureau. 

Workers will not ask for bank 

or social security information, 

nor does the form. 

Falsifying information carries 

a fine up to $250,000 and 

five years in prison. 

The goal for the Grosse 

Pointes is 100 percent completion,

Harbor safety still an issue 

ByBradlindberg 

StaffWriter 

A class winner of last week's 

Chicago Yacht Club 100th 

Race to Mackinac will meet 

soon with a Port Huron to 

Mackinac race veteran to discuss 

the safety of Osius Park 

marina. 

Discussion is planned as 

soon as members of the Grosse 

Pointe Shores harbor committee 

can drop sail and convene. 

The committee is chaired by 

Brian Geraghty, first in Section 

as skipper of Siochail, a 34.6foot 

C&C MKI out of the 

Bayview Yacht Club. 

Geraghty this week was sailing 

in the 85th Bayview Port 

Huron to Mackinac race. 

Geraghty and other commit- 

tee members have been asked 

to meet by Dan Schulte, city 

council liaison to the committee. 

Schulte has sailed in the 

Port Huron-Mackinac race intermittently 

starting in 1976, 

including as skipper of a New 

York 36. 

Schulte requested the meeting 

at the suggestion of Mayor 

Dr. James Cooper to report on 

possible safety issues in the 

newly renovated municipal 

marina. 

Schulte wants a railing or 

fence erected along the inner 

portion of the harbor's main 

walkways. He's concerned that 

without'a barrier, people could 

fall into the marina, possibly 

hitting ramps to docks or metal 

stanchions that anchor floating 

finger docks. 

"If you're going to fall and 

not hit anything but water, you 

may not need a fence," Schulte 

said. "If you're going to fall and 

hit a pipe that could knock you 

out or stun you, that's different. 

We should act with due haste 

in putting railings up. I don't 

know why we haven't gotten to 

that yet." 

"Maybe you can work with 

your committee and bring a report 

to us," Cooper said. 

Main walkways of municipal 

marinas in Grosse Pointe Park 

and the City of Grosse Pointe 

have fences such as Schulte 

wants. 

"The City park has the best 

example," said S.cHulte. 

"(falling into) the water isn't 

the issue. It's the hard objects 

on the way down you're going 

to bounce off of that make a 

difference. If you hit those, 

you'll probably need stitches 

and probably worse." 

CITY OF GROSSE POINTE 

Asleep at the wheel 

ByBradUndberg 

An ambulance driver proved 

last week that the City of 

Grosse Pointe really is a sleepy 

community. 

She nodded off on Kercheval 

and hit a pickup truck in the 

Village. 

A patient being transported 

to Henry Ford Cottage Hospital 

in the Farms completed the trip 

in a backup ambulance that also 

took the somnolent driver 

for treatment of neck and back 

pain. 

The crash occurred at 1:39 

p.m. Thursday, July 23. The 

pickup truck was shoved partly 

over the curb onto the sidewalk, 

damaging a parking meter 

and tree. 

'A Community EMS ambulance 

eastbound on Kercheval 

approaching Neff struck a 

parked vehicle, sending it up 

over the curb onto the sidewalk," 

said Lt. Paul 

Onderbeke, one the first officers 

on scene. 

"They were transporting a 

patient from Detroit Receiving 

Hospital," said Detective Ron 

Wieczorek. "The patient is not 

a City resident." 

, There were no major injuries. 

"We have a statement from 

the driver saying she dozed off 

at the wheel," Onderbeke said. 

The pickup was parked 

legally on the south side of 

Kercheval. Damage to the 

truck's left rear corner corresponded 

to damage to the ambulance's 

right front corner. 

Within 10 minutes of the 

crash being reported, a towing 

company was called to remove 

the damaged truck and ambulance.

It took only an hour to clear this accident scene in the Village 

last Thursday afternoon. 

ident of the chamber of commerce. 

"With our demographics, 

it's $1,000 per person per year 

from the federal government," 

she said. 

The complete count is critical, 

according to Brian White, 

partnership specialist for the 

U.S. Census Bureau, Detroit 

Regional Census Center. 

An inaccurate count can affect 

the quality of life in 

Michigan, he said. 

"Michigan is dependent on 

a complete and accurate 

count," White said. "It means 

money and power. We want 

every single dollar we can get. 

The last three past census we 

have lost a Congressional 

seat. We may lose three, but at 

least one." 

This push for an accurate 

count must be aggressive because 

the state is competing 

for federal dollars, White 

added. 

Huebner said residents information 

is confidential. In 

fact, the form asks only 10 

questions, including the number 

of people living in the 

house, the type of house, the 

telephone number and the 

first and last name, age, ethnicity' 

and race of the person 

filling out the form. Another 

seven questions are directed 

at other persons living at the 

same address. A self-addressed 

envelope is provided. 

No postage is required. 

The census counts every 

person living in the United 

States April 1, 2010, who live 

and sleep at the address most 

of the time. Those in the military 

and volunteers overseas 

will be counted in a different 

manner, White said. 

Those attending college 

should not be included in the 

count, according to the sample 

census sheet. 

Services for Older Citizens 

will have help available for 

those needing assistance filling 

out the form. 

Information gathered during 

the census is used in aggregate 

form, meaning it 

helps the federal government 

allocating funds for: 

• Title 1 grants to educational 

agencies 

• Head Start programs 

• Women, Infants and 

Children (food grants) 

• Public transportation 

• Road rehabilitation and 

construction 

• Programs for the elderly 

• Emergency food and shelter 

• Empowerment zones 

The data helps the private 

sector and state and federal 

government determine where 

jobs and job programs are 

needed 

It helps potential homeowners 

research property values, 

median income and other demographic 

information about 

a particular community. 

Corporations use the population 

data for market research 

to determine locations 

for commercial enterprises. 

Job opportunities 

Those seeking jobs must be 

18 years of age, be United 

States residents and pass an 

FBI check. No volunteers will 

be used. For more information, 

call (866) 861-2010. 

Jobs available include management, 

office and field staff. 

Testing for a field staff position 

begins in October.

Swim dogs 

Someone forgot to tell Henry and Chief the dog paddle isn't part of the Lakefront Park Swimming 

Association championship meet. That didn't stop the two Park pooches and their owners, Alex 

Rogers, 12, and Alex Hughes, 9, from outfitting them with team shirts for the summer league's final 

meet Wednesday, July 22. The Park Mutants gathered at Patterson Park prior to the meet, and 

along with Henry and Chief, caravanned up Jefferson to Neff Park where they competed against 

teams from the other Pointes and St. Clair Shores. The Farms team prevailed, beating out the Park 

by 11 points. "It was a great meet," said Mutant parent coordinator, lisa Hughes. 

Newrecycler, 

same stuff 

Grosse Pointe Shores residents 

are reminded that next 

month a new company will 

start collecting residents' recyclable 

material. 

"There will be no changes regarding 

the pickup schedule as 

far as days are concerned," 

said Brett Smith, Shores public 

works director. "However, 

there may be some adjustments 

as far as the time the 

truck actually drives in front of 

your home. I encourage residents 

to get their recycle bins 

to the curb no earlier than 6 

p.m. the previous day." 

Rizzo Services on Monday, 

Aug. 3 takes over curbside recycling 

from Tringali 

Sanitation. Tringali normally 

made its rounds by 9:15 a.m., 

Smith said. He anticipates 

Rizzo to range from 8:15 to 

10:15 a.m. 

"I'm sure there are going to 

be some hiccups in the transition 

period," Smith said, inviting 

residents to contact his departments 

if thing aren't working 

smoothly. "We'll deal with 

those issues as they arise." 

Rizzo will separate recyclable 

material at their facility, 

as did Tringali, Smith said. 

Other than that, Smith said 

the DPW is in summer mode. 

"As the grass grows, we cut 

it. As the garbage is put out, we 

take it away," Smith said.

pieces. 

Art as large as life 

ByAmySalvagno 

StaffWriter*' 

She has immortalized in 

bronze the famous and powerful, 

the heroes of hometowns 

and hearts, the young 

taken too soon, and the wrinkles 

of those whose wisdom 

will last through the ages., 

In the more than 30 years 

she's been molding her craft, 

Grosse Pointe Park sculptor 

Janice Trimpe has never favored 

one over another. 

"The one Pm working on is 

always my favorite," she said 

from her newly opened studio 

only blocks from her home. "I 

enjoy the process. Like the 

creator himself, I don't feel 

any closer. It's an amazing 

feeling." 

vTîmpe has become one of 

Michigan's premier monument 

sculptors, doing many 

private and public commissions. 

In the last seven years 

alone, she's created 33 lifesize 

statues and 11 monuments 

throughout the state. 

In conjunction with the 50th 

anniversary of the Mackinac 

Bridge, her replica of an iron- 

Worker was placed in a park 

near the state landmark to 

honor the men on the job. Her 

depiction of a grandfather 

playing checkers with his 

granddaughter sits on the 

streets of Mount Clemens, a 

tribute to some of her own 

memories. 

To honor his memory, 

Trimpe was asked to sculpt a 

7-year-old boy who died from 

injuries during a skiing accident. 

And she created a sixperson 

scene commemorating

UAW headquarters in Flint. 

Trimpe has come a long 

way in a career she didn't discover 

until her 30s. She was 

making dresses — without 

patterns — as a 10-year-old. 

By age 17, she was a hairdresser. 

She began oil painting 

in her early 20s, a talent 

she says her parents probably 

recognized because she was 

always-* *eteawing^ i& t her 

Catholic school classes. 

At 27, the Grosse He native 

and single mother of three 

tried her hand at pottery, 

where she learned to perfect 

portraitures. That same 

teacher encouraged her to 

pursue her newfound passion 

at the Center for Creative 

Studies. 

Trimpe can still hear her 

voiceK'Don't let a talent?

After 12 weeks at CCS, she 

was given her own on-campus 

studio to work and create. 

Three years later, Trimpe 

set up a studio in a space she 

rented for free from her father, 

where she not only taught, but 

sculpted portrait busts in the 

window. Her work there attracted 

the attention of many 

"attdôver the n'e$&$few 

eluding former Michigan Gov. 

G. Mennen Williams and 

Mikhail Baryshnikov. 

Trimpe got her big break in 

1983, commissioned to sculpt 

a bronze — her first life-size 

— of former Mayor Orville 

Hubbard, waving as if in a parade, 

for the lawn of the 

Dearborn City Hall. 

In 1991, Trimpe settled in 

the Pointes, opening her first 

shop in 1996 on Charlevoix in 

the Park. There, she began

Sunday parking free 

Deck open 

for shoppers 


Staff WMter 

Peter Dame has been an assistant 

city manager in suburban 

Chicago and now manages,- 

the City ; of Grosse 

Poirite. If there's one thing 

he's learned, it's this: 

"Everybody loves free parking." 

Accordingly, everybody 

now can park for free on 

Sundays in the Village municipal 

parking garage. 

The policy rebuffs a parking 

consultant who said three 

years ago the city should 

charge for parking seven days 

per week, day and night. 

"Consultants aren't always 

right," Dame said. "We sometimes 

have to adjust to circumstances." 

Those circumstances were 

brought about by Trader 

Joe's, located in Kercheval 

Place next to the parking 

structure on St. Clair. The 

store since April has been giving 

customers three hours of 

free parking in the garage. 

"This allows people visiting 

the Village to visit multiple locations 

in the Village and then 

obtain free parking by shopping 

at Trader Joe's," Dame 

said. "It has greatly increased 

the number of people parking 

in the garage." 

Yet, store officials said the 

promotion put them at a disadvantage 

because no where 

else in the district on Sunday 

were people required to pay 

to park. 

City officials leveled the 

playing field this month at no 

projected cost. 

"Sundays are usually the 

lowest revenue-producing 

days of the month," Dame 

said. "The use of the parking 

structure has increased sufficiently 

since the validation 

system has begun to offset the 

loss of revenues from Sunday 

collections."

Kayak racks being considered 


Staff Writer 

With summer half over, it's 

doubtful that kayak racks will 

be installed this year at Grosse 

Pointe Shores' municipal 

park. 

Until racks are in place, residents 

can bring their kayaks to 

Osius Park and leave them on 

site, according to City 

Manager Brian Vick. 

"The rack is a work in 

progress," he said. 

Progress is in the planning 

stage. Planning is being governed 

by the budget, which is 

tight. 

Vick hoped to install metal 

racks of the type at Grosse 

Pointe Farms Pier Park. 

"We priced that out," he 

said. "It was a couple thousand 

dollars, something that wasn't 

necessarily in the budget." 

"Brian and I thought that 

was a little high, especially at 

this time," said Jim Cooke, 

Shores park director. "We're

Too big 

to succeed? 

I I 1 k^ & a government whose reach even before the 

" I financial crisis scarcely left an aspect of 

I American life untouched, from the cradle to the 

I grave and the volume of our toilet bowl water in 

m^Lm between. 

In 1890, Americans were outraged their House of 

Representatives in Washington spent a record $1 billion in just 

two years. 

They punished the "Billion Dollar Congress" in the elections 

that year by making the majority party the minority party, cutting 

its roster in the House by more than 90 seats. 

Think about that. The American people were mad as wet 

hens because Congress spent half a billion dollars in 12 

months and then another half a billion the very next year. But 

the lawmakers of 1890 were skinflints compared to the porkers 

in Vteshington these days. 

Since President Barack Obama took office in January, 

Congress has spent a full $1 billion every single hour! 

Today the numbers are mind-numbing, to be sure —- so 

much most members of Congress don't even bother to read the 

appropriations bills they pass. 

Let me numb your mind a little more before trying to make 

some sense of it all: 

Before Obama's term is half over, federal spending will have 

doubled in just a decade. And it's not a surplus of revenues that 

they're spending. The deficit in a single year's budget is now as 

large as the entire budget in George W Bush's first year as 

president. •* 

The flood of red ink is adding to the national debt to the tune 

of about $4 billion every day. At-more than $11 trillion, that 

debt amounts to $36,000 for every living American. 

Certain private firms are widely believed to be "too big to 

feil." So we're in the process of handing big chunks of them 

over to the government. Companies that lose billions are being 

told what to do by an outfit that loses trillions. 

The question we all .should be ashing qurselves is this: pp^we 

trust our economy and our lives to a government that is too big 

to succeed? 

Once upon a time in America, most citizens expected government 

to keep the peace and otherwise leave them alone. Vfe 

built a vibrant, self-reliant, entrepreneurial culture with strong 

families and solid values. Vvfe respected property and largely 

kept the spirit of the 8th and 10th Commandments against coveting 

and stealing. We understood government didn't have 

anything to give anybody except what it first took from somebody, 

and that a government big enough to give us everything 

we've got would be big enough to take away everything weVe 

got. We practiced fiscal discipline in our personal lives and we 

expected nothing less from the people we elected, or we threw 

them out. 

Somewhere along the way, we lost that compass. And just 

like the Roman Republic that rose on integrity and collapsed in 

turpitude, we thought the "bread and circuses" the government 

could provide us would buy us comfort and security. 

\Sfe gave the government the responsibility to educate our 

children, though government can never be counted on to teach 

either liberty or character very well, for that matter. We asked 

the government to give us health care, welfare, old age pensions, 

college education and farm subsidies, and now our 

politicians are bankrupting the country to pay the bills. 

This welfare state of ours has become one big circle of 300 

million people, each with his hands in the next fellow's pocket. 

This is a government whose reach even before the financial 

crisis scarcely left an aspect of American life untouched, from 

the cradle to the grave and the volume of our toilet bowl water 

in between. 

As a portion of our personal income, its tax and regulatory 

burden consumes at least five times what it did just a century 

ago. But to the majority on the Potomac, government is 

nowhere yet big enough. 

Remember "In Search of Excellence," "the 1982 bestselling 

management book by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman? One 

of its salient points is an organization gets off track when it no 

longer "sticks to the knitting." When it allows its mission to 

blur and be stretched far beyond its founding design, when it 

becomes distracted by endless and dubious new responsibilities, 

its core competency evaporates. It will fail to do what it is 

supposed to do, because if s doing too much of what it's not 

supposed to do. 

I am not worried General Motors may be too big to fail. I am 

infinitely more concerned that every man, woman and child in 

America is becoming hog-tied to the fortunes of a monster that 

is far too big to succeed. 

Lawrence W. Reed is president of the Foundation for 

Economic Education and president emeritus of the Mackinac 

Center for Public Policy.

OP-ED 

I SAY By Karen Fontanive 

Problems float away with Lake St. Clair 

Ihave big feet. No ifs, 

ands or buts about it. 

Long, skinny feet. I play 

tennis. Not so easy to 

find tennis shoes. My 

current pair are pretty worn. 

People don't often see the bottom 

and between all the expenses 

of birthdays and household 

needs and taxes, I keep 

trying to get another week out 

of them. But when they ripped 

on top, it became noticeable to

the outside world. 

I had a teammate tell me, 

"Oh your shoe is ripped. That's 

not good." If she'd only seen 

the sole! 

I decided even with this 

economy, it was time to get 

new shoes. I couldn't wait for 

the end of the summer tennis 

season. 

Just my luck. The New 

Balance store was having a 

sale. So I called and asked for 

my same model and size. Just 

my luck. No shoes in stock. Ten 

days until I can get them. So I . 

go online, find the shoe, but 

now it's a two-week wait. 

Either way, I'm not getting 

these shoes before the end of 

the season.

To the Indian and fur 

trader, the creeks, 

rivers and lakes 

were the main arteries 

of communication 

and travel. 

The Indian trails that threaded 

the almost impenetrable 

forests were the feeders for 

traffic on the rivers and lakes 

and formed an important link 

in the system. The birch bark 

canoe was one of the first essentials 

of existence. It furnished 

the quickest method of 

travel and the safest means of 

transporting furs. 

Before each settler's house 

was a tiny wharf with a canoe 

I'm pondering this dilemma 

of all dilemmas on my drive 

home from work. I could tape 

my shoe just like I heard people 

did during the Depression. And 

this is a depression —well at 

least a recession—which is 

why I put off getting shoes before 

the "ripped" incident. 

And as I started to get 

stressed about the economy 

and why I hadn't bought the 

shoes earlier and all the other 

things I haven't bought—like 

carpeting for the recently finished 

basement—and the 

property taxes coming due, I 

reached Lakeshore Road. 

It was an absolutely beautiful 

day. The lake glistened. That's 

the only word. There were a

few sailboats out, a couple of 

powerboats and, best of all, a 

personal watercraft. I couldn't 

help but smile. 

The taped tennis shoes, the 

lack of carpeting and the taxes 

seemed to float away. 

I looked for the swan family 

IVe seen several times this 

year. I looked for freighters that 

make such an impressive background 

for the sailboats and I 

tried to count the sailboats. I 

thought about how much fun 

the people on the JetSki must 

behaving. 

It's amazing how the beauty 

of that lake makes troubles 

fade. 

I think about how bad it's 

been around here lately. You

a tried and true system of

bateau for freighting goods. 

The French improved the canoe 

by making it larger and 

stronger. Those used by the fur 

traders were on the average 35 

feet long, five feet wide and 

three to four feet deep. They 

could carry a load of three to 

four tons, besides the crew of 

six or eight men and prThe 

birch-bark canoe was used as 

late as the early part of the 19th 

century. The bateau was usually 

constructed as pointed at 

both ends, with sides straight 

up and down. The bottom was 

made flat with a slight inclination 

upward at each end. 

Sometimes the boats were 

towed by men walking along 

the shore. 

The Indian trail along the 

bank of the river was in the 

French period widened for the 

convenience of the French settiers 

whose narrow farms 

fronted on the water and were 

supposed to extend indefinitely 

into the wilderness. 

Later this narrow river road, 

called by the French 

"Chemindu River," was bor-

a great size and were the first

narrow but deep ravine 

through which flowed a stream

stream, the scene of a bloody 

massacre in 1763 which led to 

its name to be changed to 

"Bloody Run," was spanned by 

a log bridge. 

A section of old "Bloody 

Run" is still preserved in

A hardy breed of rough-coated 

ponies bred in the St. 

Lawrence Valley were imported 

by the more prosperous of 

the early settlers along with a 

curious style of two-wheeled 

cart, resembling the Calechea 

still in use in Quebec. 

For short distances from the 

days of Cadillac until 1830, 

these low French carts were almost 

the only land carriages 

used. Many predominated in 

the narrow streets in spring 

and fall and in this situation, 

the cart and small pony were 

convenient. 

The primitive vehicles were 

cushioned with hay or robes, 

according to the ability of their 

owners. Ladies of the highest 

social standing made their calls

bottom of these carts.

less than 150 vessels were 

playing up and down. Whole 

families came at times with 

wagons, horses, sheep and

Pontiac was by the shore of

No streets in the Grosse 

Pointe area have a more interesting 

history than Jefferson 

Avenue and its extension, 

Grosse Pointe Road. Jefferson 

was laid out as a secondary 

street in Detroit under the governor's 

and judge's plan and 

was designed to have a width 

of 120 feet. But instead of being 

laid out on the points of the 

compass as an east-west thoroughfare, 

it was decided to 

have it follow the banks of the 

river as near as possible. 

Otherwise, it would run into 

the river near Randolph Street; 

and east and west of 

Woodward, it would extend 

deep into the interior. 

Jefferson for many years extended 

only from what is now 

First Street to Randolph Street 

and it was known as Maine

GUEST OPINION ByRichLowry 

Barack Obama is an ideologue in a hurry 

""•" *WT ""jrhen Barack 

% A / Obama pil- 

% f\ I fered Martin 

\l \l Luther King 

V V Jr.'s line about 

the "fierce urgency of now," he 

wasn't kidding. The line has 

come to define his presidency. 

His legislative strategy 

moves in two gears—heedlessly 

fast and recklessly faster. 

As with the stimulus package, 

Obama's health care plan 

depends on speed. 

More important than any 

given provision, more important 

than any principle, more 

important than sound legislating 

is the urgent imperative to 

"Do It Now." 

Do it now, before anyone can 

grasp what exactly it is that 

Congress is passing. 

Do it now, before the over- 

promising and the dishonest 

justifications can be exposed. 

Do it now, before Obama's 

poll numbers return to Earth 

and make it impossible to slam 

through ramshackle government 

programs concocted on 

the run. 

Do it now, simply because 

growing government is more 

important than the practicalities 

of any new program. 

Obama cultivated an image 

of cool during the campaign. 

Unrattied. Deliberate. Cerebral 

to a fault. 

Who knew he'd be in a panic 

to remake one-sixth of the 

economy by the first week of , 

August of his first year in office? 

Normally, the larger and 

more complicated a bill, the 

longer Congress takes to con-

care plan depends on speed. More important

sider it. With the stimulus and 

cap-and-trade, Obama and the 

Democrats upended this rule 

of thumb by passing 

Byzantine, 1,000-page bills no 

one had the time to read. When 

the work product is indefensible, 

deliberation is dangerous. 

There's a touch of the guilty 

conscience about Obama's terrible 

rush. As if he knows he 

was elected as a moderatesounding 

deficit hawk last 

year, and if he's going to pass 

an ambitious left-wing program, 

he must do it before the 

opposition builds. 

The longer Obama's healthcare 

program marinates in the 

sun, the worse it smells. 

Obama's signature line, that 

anyone who likes his current 

coverage gets to keep it, has recently 

been shown to be untrue. 

His rationale of passing a $ 1 

trillion program to reduce 

costs is undermined every time 

the Congressional Budget 

Office analyzes a real 

Democratic proposal. 

No wonder Obama wants to 

close down the debate before 

his rating on health care— 

down to 49 percent in the latest 

Washington Post/ABC News 

poll—drops any further. 

Ramming through legislation 

without any assurance it 

will work doesn't seem pragmatic 

or farsighted. But for 

Obama's purposes, it is. His 

goal is nothing short of an ideological 

reorientation of 

American government. Putting 

in place the structures to 

achieve this change in the power 

and role of government is 

more important than how precisely 

it is accomplished. 

The stimulus might not do 

much to stimulate the econo- 

my during the recession, but its 

massive spending creates a 

new baseline for all future 

spending. 

Tlie cap-and-trade bill might 

not reduce carbon emissions 

during the next decade, but it 

creates a mechanism for exerting 

government control over a 

huge swath of the economy. 

"ObamaCare" might not 

work as advertised, but it will 

tip more people into government 

care and create the predicate 

for rationing and price, 

controls. 

Barack Obama is an ideologue 

in a hurry. He wants to 

put American government on a 

radically different path. And he 

wants to Do It Now.

Straight talk resulted in a

something to do with the 

pearl's disappearance took 

him to public safety headquarters

sergeant. 

The sergeant reportedly told 

the son, "I wanted the pearls on 

my desk by 8 a.m. July 21, or 

criminal charges were going to 

be filed." 

Apparently, the son was in 

the mood to return a string of 

pearls. He beat the deadline by 

a half hour. The next day at 

7:30 a.m., he showed up at

demanded.

at city hall attached to

Mclnerney was advising the 

charter commission draft a 

new charter to appear on the 

same ballot as the council 

candidates. 

"Being new to the community," 

Vick said, "and knowing 

that Mr. Mclnerney was coordinating 

many elements of 

the charter commission, I forwarded 

him the (campaign) 

material to see if he could 

help me field questions. It had 

nothing to do with who was 

running for office. If a citizen 

calls, they would expect the 

city manager to have the answer. 

At no time was there an 

investigation. This was about 

making sure I could answer 

questions for residents." 

Vick considered Mclnerney 

a safe harbor to consult during 

the campaign, which was 

contentious by Shores standards. 

"If I'd asked council members, 

that would have been 

worse — going to potential 

opponents of some of these 

candidates," Vick said. "So, I 

went to someone who was 

outside the political realm."

Mclnerney's January time 

sheets list nearly two hours 

on matters involving 

Pemberton and Schulte. 

On Jan. 27, he logged a telephone 

conversation with 

Pemberton regarding the 

"election, charter, pension 

board and other issues." 

On Jan. 28, he reviewed 

"Pemberton and Schulte campaign 

materials" and spoke 

with Vick on the telephone 

about "pending village matters." 

"My recollection/' 

Mclnerney said, "is that Mr. 

Vick, who at that time was in 

his first full week as manager 

following (Mike) Kenyon's retirement, 

saw pr. 

Pemberton's campaign flier, 

which contained a number of 

statements about issues in the 

village. He wanted me to review 

it and advise him of anything 

he should be aware of. 

He was particularly interested 

in charter-related issues, 

since Mr. Vick had not been 

hired at the time of most of 

the charter commission's 

work. He'd also received a 

piece of campaign literature 

from Mr. Schulte, and he 

(Vick) asked me to advise him 

if there was anything there to 

be concerned about. 

"In sum," Mclnerney said, 

"there was no investigation of 

campaign fliers by Mr. 

Schulte, Dr. Pemberton or any 

other candidate. I don't believe 

that was a violation of 

any procedure whatsoever. I 

think Mr, Vick went about it 

the right way because I had 

experience working with the 

charter that he had not had." 

Pemberton could not be 

reached for comment. 

Schulte said the explanations 

"wreak of 'the dog ate 

my homework.'" 

He said Vick and 

Mclnerney should have taken 

their concerns to the county 

elections bureau. 

"I talked to them," Schulte 

said of bureau officials. 

"Every attorney who has seen 

this has said there's been a 

law broken, Michigan 

Campaign Finance Act, Sec- 

57, which prohibits a public 

body from spending money to 

defeat or disqualify a candidate." 

A violations is a misdemeanor.

S SCHOOLS BUSINESS IS OBITUARIES AUTOMOTIVE 

Candidates step up 

Six throw hat in

board vacancy 

ByAmySalvagno 

StafWnter 

Candidates vying for the current 

four-month vacancy on the 

Grosse Pointe Board of 

Education indicated they will 

also seek election to one of 

three open seats in the fall. 

Trustees Interviewed the six 

hopefuls in a forum setting 

Monday, July 27, as they look to 

appoint a successor for Ahmed 

Ismail, who resigned from his 

post July 6, citing medical issues. 

The board is expected to 

make a decision during a special 

meeting Monday, Aug. 3. 

Ismail's departure places a 

third seat on the November ballot; 

the four-year terms occupied 

by Alice Kosinski and Joan 

Dindoffer are open. The balance 

of Ismail's three-year term 

begins Jan. 1,2010. 

Those looking to join the 

board are Anthony Ambrogio, 

Tom Jakubiec, Karl Kratz, 

George McMuIlen, Philip 

Osburn and Michelle Peabody. 

Two other candidates withdrew 

their names from the list: 

Daniel Grano, a Grosse Pointe 

Park councilman, and Grosse

under state law, is prohibited

It's sort of a cliche to say that smaller 

is better. We live hi a world hi which 

resources are challenged by growth. 

We have mega-stores, mega-malls, 

mega-meals. We recognize that size has 

many advantages, but we often yearn for 

the sense of a size that does not fit all but 

just fits one. 

Size is always an issue in schools. Economics push schools 

to be larger, but research tells us that size can have other 

costs. Too large can mean that education won't address 

the needs or interests of every student or that children 

must compete just to participate in many activities such as 

sports, the arts and extracurriculars - activities that are 

not only fun and full of learning opportunities, but also 

offer other ways to excel. Too small, on the other hand, 

can limit the possibilities for diversity or for having the 

experience of different points of view. 

There is a right size, though, for the kind of schooi we 

want to be. At Liggett, we want to offer our students a 

UNIVERSITY LIGGETT SCHOOL 

I n i n K 

host of ways to learn as well as opportunities to explore 

new interests. We want to have them meet and know 

different cultures and people. We want them to 

participate in our musicals, to play on teams and try new 

sports, to join the debate team or run for student 

government. Just as important, we want our students to 

be able to follow their own paths and pursue their own 

questions and interests - and to have teachers and friends 

enough who share these interests, which makes each path 

rich and broad. 

Liggett has sized itself to do all those things: To be many 

and varied and yet to still cherish the sense of being one.

We are the right size to know each child by name and to 

know our students well, their passions and their pains, 

their roots and branches, their aspirations and their 

inspirations. Teachers will notice not just how intellects are 

developing, but also when a kindergartner gets a new 

haircut, when a sixth grader is in a somber mood, and 

when a twelfth grader is expecting a letter from a college. 

Knowing each other well helps create the special bonds at 

the core of community. 

In our classes and on our fields we are driven by the belief 

that knowing each other is the most powerful learning 

tool we have. We think that with that knowledge we can 

stretch ourselves to grow individually and collectively as 

friends, as colleagues, as a company of learners. This gift 

of size enlarges our capacity to know far beyond what our 

separate abilities could achieve. Knowing each other and 

sharing in that knowledge, we create a universe of 

experience in a small place. 

As the philosopher William James once said, "We 

understand that a community stagnates without the 

impulse of the individual and the impulse can die without 

the sympathy of the community." We've made it our 

business to ensure that the dialog between the group and 

the individual is productive, enlightening and exhilarating. 

Small is not a size, but a perspective. The humanity and 

care that this perspective nourishes allows us to see in 

each member of our community something both 

incredibly special and incredibly complex. 

Space still available in first, third and sixth grades. Financial aid available for sixth grade. Apply today.

SCHOOLS 

Gifts fund club, camp and equipment 

ByAmySalvagno 

StaffWriter 

Representatives from the 

Grosse Pointe Foundation for 

Public Education paid yet another 

visit to the district 

Monday, bringing with them a 

check to fund three school 

programs. 

"I always enjoy seeing your 

face at our podium," Grosse 

Pointe Board of Education 

President Alice Kbsinski told 

Robert Bury, GPFPE president. 

The nonprofit, now in its 

third year, has raised more 

than $1 million for everything 

from innovative technology 

and elementary foreign language 

to classroom improvements, 

staff and professional 

development and extracurricular 

and co-curricular activities. 

"They impact, as we always 

try to da the entire district,"- 

Bury saia of the gifts. 

At the middle school level, 

$16,650 was donated to pur- 

to over 80 million Verizon 

Wireless customers 

Motorola Rival 

Fully-loaded messaging machine 

chase specialized lab equipment 

for a new conceptual 

physics class. The newly revised 

eighth-grade science 

curriculum calls for a handson 

approach to learning and 

involves students in a variety 

of regular lab activities. 

One kit will go to each of the 

three middle schools, and is an 

addition to the equipment the 

district received with the purchase 

of new textbooks. The 

grant allows teachers to teach 

the units in a parallel time sequence 

and participate in joint 

planning, instruction and unit 

assessment as they move 

through the curriculum. 

Another middle school level 

request will go to the homework 

clubs at all three buildings. 

The grant of $6,300 — 

$2,100 for each school — allows 

for the activity to run after 

school twice a week from 

September through May. The 

program, staffed by middle 

school teachers and high 

school student volunteers, 

helps increase homework 

completion and academic success, 

particularly in math. 

The final gift will be put toward 

a struggling learner summer 

transition camp for high 

school students. The transition 

experience, held in August for 

incoming ninth graders, is an 

extension of the Freshman 

Academic Success Team developed 

at Grosse Pointe 

North in the 2007-08 school 

year. 

The camp focuses on academic 

preparation, study and organizational 

skills and relationship 

building. 

These latest gifts bring the 

total the GPFPE has brought 

to the district this year to 

$563,000, said Bury. 

"There's been a lot of discussion 

about what the district 

can do to bridge the (budget) 

gap and this is a great example," 

said board vice president 

Brendan W&lsh. "The district is 

in motion and we thank them 

(GPFPE). It's a great case of 

how we cooperate with other 

community organizations."

Choir workshop returns 

Middle and high school students 

can sign up for the third 

annual show choir/vocal jazz

Aug. 17 through Saturday, Aug. 

22. 

The workshop, an intensive 

learning experience for performing 

arts students, is open 

to all students in grades 6 to 

12. Middle school students attend 

in the morning and high 

school students in the afternoon. 

"That's Entertainment" staff 

includes Duane Davis, former

catch-up the first two months of 

school; Jakubiec believes its the 

gap between different learning 

groups, making sure the district 

doesn't reduce challenges 

or leave anyone behind; and for 

Kratz, it's classroom size. 

McMullen said he applied for 

the trustee position to focus 

more on financial issues; 

Osburn didn't have a response. 

Ambrogio said art and music 

need be kept up and encouraged.

Jakubiec said children should 

learn more about energy. Kratz 

said the district should have a 

way to track student scores and 

what they are accomplishing 

and get more parent opinions. 

For McMullen, it's "reading, 

writing and arithmetic," and for 

Osburn, it's maintaining the 

current subjects and adding 

more physical education classes. 

To bridge the budget gap 

each year, McMullen said the 

district needs to talk about increasing 

class sizes and closing 

schools; Osburn said he needs 

to do more research; Ambrogio 

said cuts should be made evenly 

across the board, an idea 

Peabody echoed. Jakubiec said 

the board needs to better understand 

current limitations, 

while Kratz said the district 

should make sure it is spending 

the best way it can.

their Gelato Cafe on Fisher. Below, a view of the cart for catered

GelatoCafe. . ' '

Great gelato, and so much more 

The search to purchase a business 

brought two brothers back together in 

Grosse Pointe. 

John and Brati Drummy partnered to 

purchase Gelato Cafe last fall, and their 

ideas to support their hometown know 

no boundaries. The Drummy name is 

well-known in the business world in 

Metro Detroit, and the brothers, grew 

up sixth-generation Pointers. 

"We're happy to be right here in 

Grosse Pointe," said Brad Drummy, 

who graduated up the road from their 

Fisher Road business at North, while 

John stares at his high school alma 

mater each day he 

comes to work. "Our 

location across from 

South is perfect for 

us." 

Their business, 

known for several 

made-fresh gelati, 

has other items available 

for students for 

lunch and dessert. 

The Drummys are also 

working to open 

Drummy Dogs, a 

coney restaurant just 

to the east of Gelato 

Cafe. Salads, bagel 

sandwiches and other 

healthy items are 

offered, beyond the 

gelato. 

The gelato, though, 

gets plenty of attention 

on its own.

than ice cream,"

John and Brad stand behind their fresh gelati choices. The business offers much 

more than the famous Italian dessert. 

Brad Drummy said of the ice cream alternative 

which dates back to 16th century 

Italy. 

"We also have fresh fruit to offer with 

it," John Drummy said. "We have a variety 

of flavors and they change. People 

really enjoy it." 

. Gelato Cafe*also offers specialty coffees 

- including those by Uly - lattes and 

espressos. The business is popular with 

students during their lunch time. 

"It's convenient and we have some 

healthy alternatives at a good price," 

Brad Drummy said. "One of the best 

parts about our job is dealing with students 

and teachers from South. They 

keep it fun." 

Gelato Cafe, at 375 Fisher, is open 8 

a.m. to 8:30 p.m. during the summer 

months and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 

6 p.m. During the school year, weekday 

hours are from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. 

The business features an outdoor 

cafe", Wi-Fi, cable TV and an ATM. 

Carry-out is available by calling (313) 

886-1540. Gelato also caters parties 

with a cafe cart. 

"We have the best job," Brad 

Drummy said. "Where else can you 

work and have so much fun?" 

The next project will be opening the 

restaurant next door. 

"We're working on it this summer," 

John Drummy said.

• Test driving it and having 

it inspected by a licensed mechanic. 

• Making sure it has a title. 

A vehicle cannot be registered 

without one. Don't agree to the 

sale if the seller cannot produce 

a title or there are discrepancies. 

Be certain the owner 

named on the front of the title 

is the same person signing it 

as seller. All owners listed on 

the front of the title must sign 

off as the sellers to transfer the 

title. 

• Matching the vehicle identification 

number on the title 

with the number on the dashboard. 

• Checking the odometer's 

mileage accuracy. Under state 

and federal law, the mileage for 

most vehicles must be provided 

with the title assignment 

when ownership transfers. 

Vehicles 10 or more years old 

are exempt. 

• When doing business with 

an auto dealer, if s wise to ask 

questions and read all documents 

before signing. It's also 

important to note there is no 

"cooling off" or "buyer's re- 

morse" period. Some consumers 

mistakenly believe 

they can return a vehicle within 

a certain number of days after 

a contract is signed and the 

vehicle has been delivered.

Robert K. 

Roadstrum 

Robert K. Roadstrum, 101, 

died peacefully Tuesday, June 

30, 2009, at Shorepointe 

Nursing Center in St. Clair 

Shores. Mr. Roadstrum was 

born April 16, 1908, in Peoria, 

HI. to Clarence and Elizabeth 

Roadstrum. 

He graduated from Eastern 

High School in 1926. He was 

married to Florence Carlson for 

42 years until her passing in 

1976. The following year, Mr. 

Roadstrum became reacquainted 

with a high school crush, 

Blanche Hosie. They were married 

for 25 years until she died 

in 2001. 

Mr. Roadstrum's great passions 

in life were art and sailing. 

After high school, he attended 

drawing school and became 

a draftsman/illustrator. He. 

worked at Ross Roy 

Advertising and in the mid- 

1950s, opened an advertising 

business which he ran for 25 

years. 

As a child, Mr. Roadstrum 

was a "river rat," hanging 

around the original Bayview 

Yacht Club next to Water 

Works Park. He'd had a number 

of small boats, and as a 17year-old, 

earned a crew spot on 

the Calypso for the first 

Bayview to Mackinac Island 

sailboat race held in 1925. He 

would compete in 48 more 

Mackinacs over his career. 

Mr. Roadstrum was a founding 

member of the Old Goats 

Society — members sailing in 

25 or more Mackinac races. He 

joined Bayview in 1940 and 

bought his first boat shortly 

thereafter, a 26-foot Privateer, 

which he owned and raced for 

35 years. He became the unofficial 

"artist in residence" at 

Bayview, creating caricatures 

of each new Old Goat member. 

Mr. Roadstrum's second 

marriage in 1977 opened up 

another life for him — he 

bought his first house, now had 

children and grandchildren 

and bought a larger boat, a Cal 

36 "Goldigger," on which he 

sailed his first Mackinac as an 

owner in 1978 at the age of 70. 

He had many characteristic 

expressions rendered in a gravelly 

voice. To Mr. Roadstrum, 

his loving family will say, "I'll 

see ya kid." 

Mr. Roadstrum is survived by 

a niece, Beth (Joe) Moran and 

nephew, Bill (Linda) 

Pankhurst. He also is survived 

by stepdaughter, Salty (Vince) 

Giacobbe; stepson, Richard 

(Dede) Marsh and grandchildren, 

Jeff and John Giacobbe, 

Robert and Stephen Marsh and 

Jennifer Russell. 

A memorial gathering will be 

held from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, 

Aug. 6, at Bayview Yacht Club.

Eleanor A. "Norie" 

Zeock 

Longtime Grosse Pointe 

Woods resident Eleanor A. 

"Norie" Zeock, 95, died 

Saturday, July 18,2009. 

She was born Feb. 2,1914, in 

Baltimore, Md. to Ernest and 

Alvena Uebersax. While growing 

up, she worked in her parents' 

business and attended 

Goucher College. She married 

George E. Zeock in 1942 and 

had a 40-year storybook romance 

until his death in 1982. 

Mrs. Zeock was active in 

church, enjoyed sailing, playing 

golf and tennis. She also 

played piano and her family 

said she had a unique talent for 

writing beautiful letters. She 

made several trips to Europe by 

ship to visit relatives in 

Switzerland and obtained her 

driver's license at an early age 

— something unusual for a 

young woman of that era. 

Her family said Mrs. Zeock 

Mark C. Miller 

was generous, compassionate 

and had a gentle and sweet, yet 

spunky, disposition. She was 

known for her beautiful blue 

eyes and lovely smile and hair, 

always appearing at least 20 

years younger than her age. 

During her lifetime,, Mrs. 

Zeock witnessed much history 

— six wars, the flu epidemic of 

1919, the Great Depression and 

many technological and scientific 

advances. Mrs! Zeock 

shared stories from her youth 

with her family and Mends including 

when she and her father 

witnessed a victory parade 

led by Gen. John Pershing riding 

a white horse and wearing 

a plume on his helmet. During 

her final two years, it was a 

great joy for her to correspond 

occasionally with Dr. Oral 

Roberts. 

Her children said Mrs. Zeock 

was a wonderful, selfless mother 

who encouraged them to obtain 

their college degrees and 

pursue their careers and interests 

and to whom she passed 

along her fervent love of and 

faith in God. 

Mrs. Zeock is survived by her 

son, George Jr. and his wife; 

daughter, Mary; two granddaughters 

and their husbands; 

five great-grandchildren; two

II AUTOMOTIVE 

AUTOS By Jenny King 

The 2009 Toyota Sienna minivan is available in four models: CE, LE, XLE and Limited. Since 1998, 

Sienna has declared some of the best crash test scores in the minivan market. This 4-door, front-drive 

gas miser comfortably seats four adults and is easy to drive, especially in heavy traffic. 

Sienna minivan loves people, stuff 

It's a well-appointed 

limo; it's a workhorse.. 

It's a moving van and 

vacation-mobile. It's an 

intelligent vehicle and, 

sometimes, too smart for your 

sanity. 

The Toyota Sienna is all of 

the above. And more. 

If you need room for seven 

passengers or you haul lots of 

stuff, that may put you in the 

minivan market segment. If 

you like ease of entry for people 

and things, and you like to 

have a wide variety of options 

from which to choose, you're 

squarely in that target market. 

Surprisingly pleasant to drive, 

the Sienna minivan is 

available in several models — 

CE, LE, XLE and Limited. 

Each has standard and optional 

equipment. About the 

only features the models 

share is the basic size of the 

vehicle and the 266 horsepower, 

3.5-liter V-6 with fivespeed 

automatic transmission. 

Plus, for the last three 

model years, Toyota has put 

its STAR safety system on all 

Sienna minivans: vehicle stability 

control, traction control 

and disc brakes in the rear. 

Options run the gamut from 

entertainment systems with 

DVD players and wireless 

headsets for rear-seat passengers 

to a very alert navigation 

system, all-wheel drive, a 

rearview camera, audible 

alerts if the minivan is closing 

in on a side or rear immovable 

object and power sliding 

side doors and rear liftgate 

that can be opened from the 

key fob and closed almost as 

easily. 

Anyone considering a new 

— or used—vehicle, might 

best make a list of wants and 

needs in the way of features 

before venturing into the market; 

otherwise ypu run the 

risk of being overwhelmed by 

choices. 

The test vehicle was the upscale 

Sienna XLE all-wheeldrive 

Limited. The $37,865 

model includes items such as 

chrome accented trim pieces, 

leather interior trim and an 

eight-way power driver's seat, 

three-zone climate control, a 

power tilt-or-slide moonroof, 

power sliding side and rear 

doors and an upgraded sound 

system. 

If you think you could live 

nicely for lower monthly payments, 

the more modest CE 

model comes with secondrow 

captain style seats, air 

conditioning, a good sound 

system, rear window defogger, 

keyless entry, a zillion 

spaces for cups and drink 

boxes, three 12-volt power 

outlets and a folding tray 

table between the front seats. 

The next-level LE adds features 

such as heated power 

outside mirrors, privacy glass, 

steering wheel-mounted audio 

controls, cruise control 

and a fold-flat front passenger 

seat - to be used only when 

unoccupied. 

The XLE adds power sliding 

doors, tri-zone climate 

control and a removable center 

console. 

The entertainment system 

added an extra $3,380 to the

a DVD-based navigation 

system with practical and 

helpful touch screen, a 10speaker 

sound system and a 

backup camera. 

We did struggle with second-row 

safety belts that 

locked when released and 

had to be wrestled around the 

arms of child safety seats before 

they could be refastened. 

The warning beeps and locking 

doors were frustrating; 

they likely could have been 

disengaged had we taken the 

time to check owner instructions. 

Was it the limo-like comfort 

of the Sienna that prompted 

one to drive more slowly or a 

greater sense of family responsibility?

TEST DRIVE ByGregZyla 

The 2010 Volvo XC 60 AWD's City Safety can help reduce whiplash 

injuries by 50 percent. It only works when the beam picks up larger 

"items," such as cars and trucks. 

2010 Volvo XC 60 AWD with 'City Safety' 

This week, we're driving 

the new 2010 

Volvo XC 60 AWD, 

equipped with a 

unique automatic 

braking system that reduces, 

or in some instances, eliminates, 

a low speed collision 

due to driver error—base 

price: $37,200; price as tested: 

$42,250. 

This device, called "City 

Safety," is another high tech 

advancement from the Fordowned 

Swedish car company 

that has made safety a principal 

ingredient in all models 

produced. 

Personally, I've always had a 

soft spot for Volvo since I was 

first introduced to the model in 

1959. Its humpback PV444 

and 544 models were some of 

the most popular non- 

Volkswagen foreign cars on 

the highway. Volvo also excelled 

in SCCA sports car racing, 

and readers may not 

know Walter Cronkite, the famous 

television anchor newsman, 

was a member of the 

Volvo Racing Team as a driver. 

I had the pleasure of seeing 

him race in person, and in 

1959, CronMte co-drove a 

PV444 on to a "B Division" 

class win and third overall in 

one of Lime Rock's endurance 

races in Connecticut. 

Even back then, Volvo's dedication 

to producing safe cars 

held my attention, as it does to 

this day. Volvo began in business 

life as a ball bearing manufacturer 

in 1927, progressing 

to its most reputable position 

today If it's a new, novel safety 

feature, odds are Volvo is involved 

in the process. 

Today, Volvo car manufac- 

turing and building takes place 

in Sweden and Belgium, while 

the original Volvo company is 

still manufacturing trucks (including 

Mack in North 

America), construction equipment, 

buses, and engines for 

marines, aircraft and industrial 

applications. 

Back to 2010, and Volvo's 

City Safety system. It utilizes 

laser inspired infrared technology 

to help reduce impact in 

lower speed, city traffic situations. 

Specifically, if a City 

Safety equipped Volvo comes 

upon a vehicle that is slowing 

or stopped, and the driver does 

not react for whatever reason 

—probably texting or cell 

phone —Volvo's sensors will 

realize the driver has failed to 

apply the brakes, and City 

Safety will immediately apply 

brake pressure at, according 

to Volvo, half the pressure prior 

to impact. 

Volvo says at speeds from 18 

down to nine mph, the impact 

severity is greatly reduced. 

And, if you happen to be going 

from nine to two mph, City 

Safety may completely prevent 

the impact. 

City Safety can be shut off 

manually, but I don't recommend 

this. We should know by 

now the cost for fender bender 

repair or, more importantly, the 

litigation stemming from the 

now commonplace "I think my 

neck hurts" response of the 

driver you ran into. 

City Safety is just part of a 

Volvo security package that includes 

Dynamic Stability 

Control, Roll Stability Control,

Green car care 

tips explained 

In addition to polluting less, 

a well-maintained vehicle lasts 

longer, commands a better resale 

price and uses less gasoline 

than a car that's neglected, 

note the experts at the nonprofit 

National Institute for 

Automotive . Service 

Excellence. 

Getting started is easy, says 

ASE. Check out the owner's 

manual and start following the 

recommended service schedules. 

These tips and car maintenance 

facts can keep a car on 

the road to longevity and add 

to fuel saving: 

• Dont delay work until the 

vehicle starts running roughly 

or an engine-service light 

comes on. A single fouled 

spark plug can reduce gas 

mileage and add to pollution, 

while a failed oxygen sensor 

can reduce mileage by up to 40 

percent, government numbers 

indicate. 

• Clogged air, oil and fuel filters 

will also impede optimal 

engine operation and can adversely 

impact your mileage by 

up to 10 percent. 

• Follow the carmaker's recommendations 

for grade of 

oil, which can increase mileage 

lor 2 percent. 

• Proper tire inflation keeps 

an engine from working harder 

than it has to, saving another 

3 percent. 

Add to these maintenance 

tips smart driving habits like 

avoiding hard accelerations 

and speeding and the savings 

can add up. 

ASE was founded to improve 

the quality of automotive 

service and repair through the 

voluntary testing and certification 

of automotive technicians. 

CRUISIN' ByGregZyla 

Remove oil stains 

Q.Greg, I have a 1958 

Chevy Delray, and it drips oil 

on my garage floor. What do 

you recommend to remove 

oil stains from concrete 

floors? 

—Andy K., Michigan. 

A. Andy, there are so many 

products out there that will remove 

oil stains from the floor 

(most are available at your local 

auto store) that I hate to 

sound like a commercial. 

However, you asked so I'll answer. 

I use a product called Oil 

Eater, produced by Kafko 

International Ltd., which is designed 

to eliminate the need 

for multiple cleaning solutions. 

It can be used on tools, engines, 

concrete, asphalt and 

walls. It also removes stains 

from floor mats and upholstery. 

This unique non-flammable 

cleaner is formulated to 

eliminate the need for solvent 

or acid-based cleaners. It penetrates 

rapidly, rinses off easily 

and leaves no residue. 

It is water-based, freshscented, 

biodegradable and 

contains no adds, abrasives or 

petroleum solvents and is perfectly 

safe on skin. Oil Eater is 

available in a 32-ounce spray 

bottle and one- and five-gallon 

containers at leading auto 

parts retailers. 

To learn more, visit 

oileater.com or call (800) 528- 

0334. 

It's a good product, and I 

use it on more than just my 

garage floor. It's cheap, too, 

only about $4.99 for a 32ounce 

bottle.

The 2009 Aveo LT sedan is a 4-door, front-drive gas miser 

that comfortably seats four adults. This small sedan is easy to drive, 

especially in heavy traffic. 

2009 Chevy Aveo LT Sedan 

This week we test drive 

Chevy's sub compact 

2009 Aveo LT 

sedan—base price: 

14,100; price as tested: 

$15,945. 

Available in three trims, 

Aveo sedan starts with a s 

$12,685 LT base model, and 

then upgrades to our tester, 

which is the mid range, 

$14,100 base manual transmission 

equipped LT1. The LT2 

comes fitted with an automatic 

transmission and more upgrades, 

but starts at $16,085.1 

feel the entry model is perhaps 

the best choice of the three 

when it comes to return on investment. 

All Aveos receive power 

froma 1.6-liter inline 4-cylinder 

engine that puts out 106 

horsepower. The engine is upgraded 

for 2009 with variable 

valve timing, and, when 

equipped with the standard 5speed 

manual transmission, 

achieves 27 city and 34 highway 

EPA numbers. 

Introduced in 2004 and built 

in Korea via GM's Daewoo cooperative, 

which also produces 

brother Pontiac G3, Chevy 

continues to tweak Aveo to attract 

buyers who shop the stiff 

competition from Nissan, 

Toyota, Kia, Ford, Hyundai and 

Honda. Along the way, Chevy 

has added many conveniences 

as standard equipment, from 

OnStar to air conditioning. 

However, even though the 

2009 Aveo LT1 comes nicely 

equipped, a power and convenience 

package will add another 

$425 and includes remote 

keyless entry, power door 

locks, power windows and a 

content theft-deterrent system. 

To improve mileage ratings, I 

feel a sixth gear added to the 5speed 

manual could push highway 

miles per gallon to 40, so 

one wonders "why not?" The 

answer probably lies in the fact 

Chevy still lowers production 

expenses by fitting Aveo with 

rear drum brakes, although the 

fronts are disc. 

Underneath, a McPherson 

strut front suspension coincides 

with a semi-independent 

rear torsion beam setup that 

results in acceptable overall 

handling. Aveo LT1 comes 

standard with 14-inch tires and 

steel wheels, although our 

tester featured a 15-inch tire 

and alloy wheel upgrade for 

$450—recommended. Our 

test model's options also included 

cruise control for $250, 

bringing the final price to 

$ 15,945 with $720 for destination. 

An area where Chevy upgraded 

is in the warranty area, 

where 100,000 miles of powertrain 

protection awaits buyers. 

Teenies can also take note, as 

Aveo lists features such as auxiliary 

audio/iPod input jack, 

AM/FM/CD player with six 

speakers, MP3 player, halogen 

headlamps, manual height and 

lumbar seat adjuster, rear window 

defogger, driver armrest, 

tilt steering and a rear 60/40 

split folding rear seat.

The DIA staff sets up the wedding reception.

Wter B. Ford II Great Hall, 

which holds 300-500 people; 

the lofty Prentis Court, which 

holds 200-300 people; the 

Rivera Court, which holds 150- 

250 people and inspiring frescoes 

by Diego Rivera; and the 

atrium-esque Kresge Court, 

which holds 150-200 people 

and is surrounded by works of 

art embedded in brick. 

The museum can provide the 

glassware, china and silverware, 

along with standard tables 

and linens. Hors d'oeuvres 

and dinner are catered inhouse. 

So far, five wedding receptions 

have been booked 

through the end of the year. 

The first was this past 

Saturday, July 25, with dinner 

in the Great Hall and the reception 

in the Rivera courtyard. 

Broom said the DIA is easing 

into the venture "quite gingerly" 

because of the potential 

wear-and-tear on the museum. 

'A wedding is an emotional 

day. There's so much that goes 

into it," he said. "We want to 

make sure we can execute it 

flawlessly so people have a 

pleasant, memorable occasion." 

Stuart Grigg, past president 

of the Grosse Pointe Historical 

Society, has been visiting the 

DIA since he was a young boy 

— he even worked there for a 

short time — and over the 

years, has been part of several 

different social events.

resident says the ambiance not.

mood, but encourages them to

PHOTO COURTESY LOUISA ST. CLAIR CHAPTER OF THE DAUGHTERS 

OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION 

Flag recipients 

Grosse Pointe-based Louisa St. Clair Chapter Daughters 

of the American Revolution gave Brownie Troop 4011 a 

large American flag to use at an outdoor flag ceremony 

at Girl Scout Camp. DAR members taught the Brownies 

the care and folding of the flag. Each Brownie and 

Junior Girl Scout Troop 1838 member was given a copy 

of the American's Creed and a flag bookmark that lists 

dates when the flag should be displayed. The DAR chapter 

also purchased cookies from Troop 4011 which were 

mailed to active duty servicemen in Iraq. 

building ... when you use arts 

and culture locations, it sort of 

reshapes the conversation and 

experience in a good way," he 

said. "If you go to a typical hall, 

you're kind of inviting people 

at one level of experience. 

Here, you're looking for wonderful 

photo opportunities, 

great lighting and a wonderful 

backdrop, and you're telling 

your guests you care and 

you're calling them to be their 

best selves. You expect something 

special when you go to 

the DIA." 

The museum joins several 

others around the country that 

hold receptions, including the 

Art Institute of Chicago, the 

Walters Art Museum in 

Baltimore and the Jocelyn Art 

Museum in Omaha, Neb. 

Cultural institutions, such as 

the DIA, are becoming increas- 

ingly popular, not only for weddings, 

but also other entertainment 

experiences. 

The Cultural Concierge, 

which launched this year, aims 

to generate earned revenue for 

regional gems through events, 

parties and corporate learning 

and team building workshops, 

said Director Denise Bateman 

Asker. The coalition group 

makes it easier to think about 

arts and culture facilities, she 

added, by helping custom plan 

and tailor events in venues 

filled with history, innovation 

and wonder. 

The DIA is just one on their 

list. 

"I've been in conversations 

with people who wish they 

could have their wedding here 

... they're excited that there is 

now that possibility," said 

Broom. 


The couple's wedding cake sits in the Rivera Court, in front of 

one of the Detroit Industry Murals by Diego Rivera.

the American Journal of Cardiology and one paper in 

FEBS Letters. Justin was also a co-author in fifteen 

abstracts, two of which he was listed as primary author.

Turning life around with simple message 

ByAnnL.Fouty 

Features Editor 

When 49-year-old Paul Wedding graduated 

from high school, he admittedly got into some 

bad habits. 

, Those habits resulted in his homelessness, he 

said, until he had a spiritual awakening April 19, 

2Q03. After years of ignoring a message to write 

a book, Wedding penned "If You Only Knew 

What You Already Know" in 2008. Sterling 

Heights book publisher Harmonic Park Press 

picked it up within two days of Wedding's submission, 

A former resident of Grosse Pointe Park and 

son of a police officer, Wfedding has since turned 

his life around and settled in Sterling Heights, 

though admits he misses the Grosse Pointes. 

Wedding is now a speaker, radio show host and 

author. 

His 168-page book explains the necessity of 

"shedding components of ego and getting back 

to the natural self," he said. 

Wedding said the five components are: I am 

what 1 have; I am what I do; I am what others 

think of me; I am separate from others; I am 

separate from God. 

Instead of worrying about other people's 

opinion of us, he said we should be living "authentically, 

living through purpose." 

Wedding said people know instinctively how 

to treat others. 

"We know what is best for others," he said. 

When that mind-set is put into play, "things 

will be better for you," he said. "People are the 

greatest resource. People aren't paper towels," 

Wedding said.

Human Spirit can be heard from 2 to 3 p.m.

"I can quit smoking any-

s 

Nicotine has been well 

documented to be a 

more highly addictive substance 

than cocaine. Once you

is extremely difficult to quit.

Again, the best answer to 

that problem is to just never

So again, the best solution is 

simply to just never start smoking 

cigarettes. That way you 

never have to face the dilemma 

of lung cancer, or other kinds 

of cancer such as bladder and 

bowel cancer, heart disease, 

emphysema or chronic bronchitis, 

which are all related to 

cigarette smoking.

HEALTH COLUMN By Cheryl Wesen,M.D. 

Breast cancer fight aided by team approach 

For a woman, a 

breast cancer diagnosis 

can mean the 

start of many medical 

treatments that 

require physical and emotional 

strength. 

Donna Mclnerney, a former 

Grosse Pointer, knows that 

firsthand. She had breast cancer 

in 2003, starting with a 

routine mammogram and 

ending with a biopsy, surgery, 

radiation and chemotherapy. 

For the last five years, she has 

volunteered her encouragement 

and empathy to hundreds 

of women in the Breast 

Care Program at St. John 

Hospital and Medical 

Center's Van Elslander 

Cancer Center. 

Following a diagnosis, a patient 

may come to the Liggett 

Breast Center for a day of 

tests and education about the 

treatment process. 

Prior to that visit, the patient's 

physician presents information 

at a multidisciplinary 

breast conference that 

includes a radiologist, pathol- 

ogist, medical oncologist, radiation 

oncologist, and surg 

V 

Patient review by breast 

care specialists in this manner 

is part of the treatment planning 

process for all patients. 

Although the process works 

like clockwork, thanks to a 

nurse navigator who coordinates 

all care, the patient receives 

much information in a 

very short period. For some, it 

can be overwhelming at a 

time when they're already 

anxious. 

That's when Mclnerney's 

work begins. 

She reminds patients to 

have hope in medical technology 

and trust in their physician's 

capabilities. And she, 

along with the nurse navigator, 

provides continued support, 

beyond that initial visit 

into the weeks and months 

ahead. 

Hearing the stories of 

women who find strength and 

hope because of our volunteers 

brings great joy to me.. 

Fighting breast cancer is a

the most 

important

team effort. 

At the Liggett Breast 

Center, part of the St. John 

Health Breast Care Program, 

we've worked for many years 

to build a team with a couple 

issues in mind. 

The first is clinical excellence. 

We need to have the very 

latest treatment options, access 

to clinical trials and excellent 

physicians and nurses 

who know how to treat — 

and hopefully beat — cancer. 

Second is coordinated care. 

We want to organize patient's 

care in a manner where they 

can focus on healing, not the 

details of treatment. 

This June 2009, the 

National Accreditation 

Program for Breast Center 

recognized the St John 

HeaTmBreast Care Program 

with a three-year, full accreditation 

designation. 

Accreditation is only given to 

those programs that have voluntarily 

committed to provide 

the highest level of quality 

breast care and undergo a rigorous 

evaluation process and 

performance review. 

During the survey process, 

the program must demonstrate 

compliance with standards 

established by the NAP- 

BC, a consortium of professional 

organizations dedicated 

to the quality of care for, 

and outcomes of, diseases of 

the breast. 

This accreditation is spe- . 

cialized and on top given by \ t 

the joint commission required 

to provide medical care. The 

NAPBC found St. John's program 

is a single source for 

medical expertise, personalized 

care, education and support, 

including: 

• Multidisciplinary specialty 

team of diagnostic and 

treatment specialists 

• Patient navigators 

• Second opinion clinic 

• Comprehensive clinical 

research 

• High risk breast cancer 

services and genetics counseling 

• Healing arts, education 

and support 

^Seivjces are available at St. 

JanxC'St. John Macomb- 

Oakland, Providence Hospital 

and Medical Center and 

Providence Park hospitals. 

For more information, visit 

stjohn.org/breastcare or call 

1-888-440-0644. 

Those facing breast cancer 

can know there are survivors 

like Mclnerney and a host of 

physicians, nurses and other 

clinicians ready and willing to 

share the journey.

started his own belief system 

and they will accept him as 

savior, but few people acknowledge 

him as Lord. 

Let's dispel some of the 

myths; let's talk about the real 

man named Jesus who was 

called by some as "The Christ." 

First, Jesus never taught nor 

believed in compromise. It is 

sad to say that most people 

who claim to be Christian are 

not really committed to their 

faith. Jesus was very clear in 

who he claimed to be and definite 

that there was no other 

way to the God of the Bible except 

through him. Only 

through faith in Jesus Christ 

can a Christian be saved. 

Throughout the gospels, 

Jesus repeatedly told all that 

would listen that there was no 

other way to the father except 

through himself. As a matter of 

fact, in the scriptures, Jesus 

calls all others "thieves and 

robbers" (John 10:8) who 

claimed to be a way to God. 

It is sad to say, but many people 

who say that they are 

Christians or followers of Jesus 

haven't grasped that concept. 

As a matter of fact, the Bible 


CHURCHES 

Jesus did not preach compromise 

says that Jesus is the author 

and the finisher of our faith. 

You either have to accept 

Jesus as Lord and savior or not 

at all. 

The compromise comes because 

many people, who say 

they are believers, openly accept 

wrongdoing. We, as a supposedly 

Christian nation, allow 

unborn babies to be murdered, 

legally, and Christians are not 

doing anything about it. 

Homosexuality is a clear no-no 

to God, yet some "Christian" 

churches ordain gay pastors 

and even marry same-sex couples. 

We even have regular 

church-goers who cheat on 

their spouses or simply sleep 

around; however, no one in the 

church lifts an eyebrow. This is 

clearly against everything 

Jesus stood for, yet we have the 

nerve to go to church and sing 

songs of praise to God as if 

everything is OK 

Let me make it clear that we 

are all sinners, no one is perfect 

and we are saved, only, by 

grace. Stop using this as an excuse 

to do whatever you want! 

It is only by the blood of Jesus 

that we are forgiven of our 

sins. You hear compromising 

Christians stand firm on the issue 

of God's grace and his love 

but yet they are not obedient to 

the Word of God. God says if 

you love me you will keep my 

commandments, not you will 

do whatever you want and 

think it is OK. 

The key ingredient to salvation 

and forgiveness of sins is 

repentance. The word "repent" 

comes from the Greek word 

metanoeo, which means to 

think differently or afterward, 

that is, reconsider (morally to 

feel compunction). Jesus in-

structed that for us to be forgiven 

of our sins and be true followers 

and Christians, we have 

to turn away from sin and 

change our mind to conform to 

God's ways. 

We want to live this life the 

easy way by doing whatever 

we want to and then think it is 

OK with God. We want to 

make Jesus our savior and accept 

his grace but we don't 

want to live up to our end of 

the covenant. 

Jesus said that we are salt 

and light to the world. We are 

supposed to bring light to dark 

places. We are supposed to 

preach the truth of God's Word 

so that all who will accept it 

will be saved from eternal 

death. Instead, we have compromised 

our faith so much, 

that now the world dictates to 

us what is true and what is not. 

We think that we have to get 

with the times or that morality 

is outdated. 

God is a God of love, grace 

and mercy, but he is also a God 

of justice. He is very clear what 

he expects from all of those 

who claim to be his people. 

There is a harsher judgment to 

people that claim to follow 

Jesus, yet openly go against his 

word. 

Jesus hated compromise. As 

a matter of fact, Jesus said that 

he would rather you be cold or 

hot than lukewarm for him. 

The Word of God says that if 

you are lukewarm it makes 

God sick to his stomach. 

Looking at the level of compromise 

that we have in 

Americans claiming to be 

Christians, I just can imagine 

the stomachache that God has!

The animal enrichment ae-! 

tivities include a treat-filled 

pinata for the lions, a produce 

slushy for the anteaters, ice 

treats for the snow monkeys, 

fruit kabobs for the chimpanzees, 

a watermelon for tte 

hippo, a fish ball for the seals, t 

sprinkler for the grizzly bears 

and an "amazing graze" for the 

zebras. 

After viewing the enrichment 

activities, visitors can listen

but that group was something 

special." 

Wilson's four straight AFC 

Championship teams were led 

offensively by Hall of Fame 

quarterback Jim Kelly, running 

back Thurman Thomas and 

wide receiver Andre Reed. 

The defense was anchored 

by linebackers Cornelius 

Bennett and Darryl Talley, defensive 

end Bruce Smith and 

defensive back Henry Jones. 

The head coach was Marv 

Levy. 

"Marv is a wonderful man 

and he really got the best out of 

those players," Wilson said. 

"We need to get back to those 

glory years and it starts at 

quarterback. Trent Edwards is 

our guy and now we gave him 

a receiver to throw to." 

Just a day after the Cowboys 

released Pro Bowl wide receiver 

Terrell Owens, Wilson told 

his coaching staff to "sign 

him." 

"Terrell Owens has been a 

model citizen so far and I expect 

him to be," Wilson said. 

"His talents should help our offense." 

During his three years in 

Dallas, Owens averaged 78 receptions 

for 1,195 yards and 13 

touchdowns per season. 

He is projected to catch 83 

passes for 1,174 yards and 

score 10 touchdowns this season 

as a Bill. 

"When people ask me how 

we're going to do mis year, I 

tell them to go talk to the doctors 

because they play a big 

role in helping our players get 

physically ready to play every 

week and heal their injuries," 

Wilson said. "This game is very 

physical and we're lucky to 

; have some of the best doctors 

and trainers in the game." 

Wilson's roots lie in the 

Grosse Pointes. He grew up in 

the area, graduating from 

University Liggett before attending 

University of Virgina 

and the University of Michigan 

Law School. 

He is a World War II veteran 

and after the war ended, he 

took over a successful insurance 

business from his father. 

Wilson has invested in local industry 

and founded Ralph 

Wilson Industries, located on 

the Hill in Grosse Pointe 

Farms. 

Even through pro football's 

offseason, Wilson is constantly 

working from his home in the 

Shores or his condominium in 

Buffalo. 

This offseason has been 

even busier with interviews 

about his induction into the 

Hall of Fame. 

During an interview by the 

NFL Network, Wilson said, "If 

you live long enough and are 

lucky and fortunate, all good 

things happen." 

•Wilson will have 10 minutes 

to give a speech during the ceremony, 

which will be televised 

live on the NFL Network. 

"When you have lived as 

long as I have and met so many 

wonderful people, it's going to 

be hard to talk for only 10 minutes, 

but I'll get it done," 

Wilson said.

Blue Demons earn No. 1 

The Grosse Pointe Blue Demons 

sixth grade travel basketball team 

finished the 2008-09 season as one 

of the top community-based 

squads in the state. 

The Blue Demons posted a 37-6 

record en route to sweeping all 

four major youth tournaments in 

southeastern Michigan. 

They won the South Lyon Big 

Cat League "Rumble In The 

Jungle" championship .tournament 

the weekend of March 28 with five 

straight victories and entered the 

18-team tournament as the No. 1 

seed. 

They swept the winner's bracket 

and finished it off with a perfect 

tournament record. 

The Demons started their run 

with a 68-41 victory over the No. 18 

seed, Howell Heat. They were led 

by a balanced scoring attack from 

wings, Brian and Sam Blanzy, 

Adam Morris and Jack Muschong. 

The Demons beat the No. 9 seed, 

Lakeland 44-21, with strong play 

from guards Romari Ennis, 

Spencer Ewing and Kareem 

Muhammad before defeating the 

No. 5 seed, Commerce Cobras, 39- 

33, with another balanced attack. 

The Blue Demons met their regular 

season rivals, the No. 2 seed 

Team Basketball Red, in the tournament 

semifinals of the winners' 

bracket. 

They were paced by post players 

James Fishback, Jack Fry and Tim 

Herd. It was their stifling team defense 

that resulted in a hard-fought 

34-29 victory, as the Demons shut 

down the normally high scoring 

Team Red. 

The Blue Demons took on the 

No. 7 seed South Lyon Blue in the 

championship game, winning 43- 

27. 

The Blue Demons dominated 

their opponents in the South Lyon 

Big Cat League, winning the regular 

season title with a 13-1 record, 

finishing two games ahead of their 

nearest competition and outscored 

their opponents 547-384. They also 

finished 5-1 in the Big Cat pre-season 

"mini" league.

nament play earlier this season, 

winning their bracket and finishing 

as runners-up to the Basketball 

City Hoopers team in the St. Clare 

of Montefalco 2008 Thanksgiving 

Tournament. 

The Demons won the 2009 

Hartland "Where Eagles Fly" tournament 

in late February, as a tuneup 

to their March tournament season. 

The Blue Demons then went on 

to win the 5th Annual "Sly Fox 

Classic" tournament held at 

Eastern Michigan University in 

early March. The Blue Demons 

swept their bracket and finished 

with a resounding 45-17 win over 

Livonia South in the championship 

game. 

According, to tournament officials, 

the Blue Demons is the only 

team to repeat as back-to-back Sly 

Fox champions. 

The Blue Demons then played in 

Detroit Pistons' Amir Johnson's 

"Thunder Dunk Affair," an AAU 

"elite" level tournament held at the 

University of Michigan-Dearborn 

Field House. 

Unlike the community-based 

Blue Demons team, AAU regulations 

allow for formation of all-star 

teams drawn from wide geographic 

areas. 

The Demons lost games to former 

NBA player Jeff Grayer's allstar 

team from Flint and a local 

Detroit all-star team, the Eastside 

Seminoles, while more than holding 

their own in a 49-38 win over 

the "Throg Dog" all-stars. 

The Demons played in the 16th 

Annual "March Madness" tournament 

in Pinckney. The tournament 

featured 12 travel teams from 

southeastern and mid-Michigan. 

The Blue Demons finished their 

sweep of pool play with a 36-32 win 

over the Midland Vipers. 

The Demons defeated the 

Livonia Blue Angels 38-19 in the 

semifinals and finished with a solid 

41-30 victory over South Lyon Blue 

in the championship game. 

This was also a repeat championship 

for the Blue Demons who 

won the 2008 "March Madness" 

tournament. 

Head Coach Rocky Blanzy emphasized 

individual conditioning 

and strong team effort in preparing 

the Blue Demons for their successful 

season and tournament run. 

"One of the things that made this 

team successful was their unselfish 

play on the floor," Blanzy said. 

"These kids' strengths were the 

great passes they made to each 

other and their ability to help each 

other out on defense. They were 

less focused on the number of 

points they scored individually and 

more focused on playing as a team. 

"As a coach, I wanted each player 

to feel like they contributed to the 

game and were an integral part of 

its success. In practice, the kids all 

worked hard and it showed on the 

court during the games, when it really 

mattered." 

The Blue Demons are a community-based 

team consisting of seven 

sixth-graders and three fifthgraders 

from the Grosse Pointe 

School System. 

The players are Brian Blanzy, 

Sam Blanzy, Romari Ennis, 

Spencer Ewing, James Fishback, 

Jack Fry, Tim Herd, Adam Morris, 

Kareem Muhammad and Jack 

Muschong. 

Blanzy's assistant coaches are 

Eric Ewing, George Fishback and 

Dave Fry. 

This was the Blue Demons' second 

season as an organized travel 

basketball team. 

They carry the tradition started 

by Grosse Pointer Jim Saros nine 

years ago, which has been followed 

by other volunteer coaches and 

Blue Demon teams in grades 4 

through 8. 

The Blue Demons program has 

exposed younger players to the 

highest level of "travel" competition 

and served as a feeder to the 

basketball programs at the Grosse 

Pointe high schools and middle 

schools. 

The Blue Demons are organized 

in conjunction with the 

Neighborhood Club to provide access 

to local school gyms for their 

practices.
