Romney, Ryan rally supporters at area farm
HAL GOULD | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Paul Ryan addresses the crovwd in Commerce Township last Friday as Ann and IVIitt Romney listen.
By Philip Allmen Staff Writer
RepubiIcarI heavyweights were in full force FViday in the Kiuron Valley at a victoI^r rally for presidential candidate Mitt Romney and Imnning mate Paul Ryan.
The former Massachusetts governor expressed his love for his home state, and the U.S. congressman from Wisconsin said he was glad to be "back in Big Ten country" at the Long Family Farm in Commerce Township with a crowd approaching 10,000 supporters.
On a hot, bright, sunny day, the slew of conservative speakers hammered home the need to improve the country's economy and to rein in federal spending.
"We need a president who believes in uniting the American people, not dividing them," Romney said to a burst of applause. "Our way forward is the only way to bring prosperity ... to aU people.
"The president (Barack Obama) tried. I believe he did. He was just going in the wrong direction. That's the problem," he added.
Those at the rally were ardent backers of the Romney-Ryan ticket.
"We came to support the hometown hero and get him elected." said Cathy Brush of Commerce Township. "We can't afford four more years of this."
BInIsh came to the rally with Martha and Jerry IClemmer of Commerce Township, who were sporting their Tea Party Patriots of West Oakland County shirts.
Martha IGemmer said she was "very excited when Romney selected Ryan as a running mate. We really like the Ryan choice. lie's got a budget head."
Added her husband: •"We need a plan. There's no plan right now for the country."
Romney highlighted the five-point blueprint he envisions will get the
country turned aroimd. • Getting North Ameri
ca energy independent. • Giving everyone the
sldlls and training needed to succeed. That includes fixing schools and "putting kids first, teachers first and leaving the unions behind," Romney said.
• Setting trade policies that are good for .Americans.
• Changing the country's financial situation to entice businesses to build or expand in tliis country. That involVes balancing the budget and eliminating the national debt, he said.
• Championing small businesses by lowering taxes, eliminating regulations and "repealing and replacing 'Obamacare,'" he said.
"If we do those five things ... you're going to see America charge back economically." he said.
After the rally, as Gordon and Carol Hogan of Linden were walking their grandchildren back to their minivan. Carol said the event "was awesome. He gives us a lot of hope."
In addition to Romney and Ryan. U.S. Senate candidate Pete Hoek-stra addressed the crowd, as did U.S. Rep. (2andice Miller, Lt. Gov. Brian Galley, OaJdand County Sheriff Mike Bouchard, state Sen. Randy Richardville and state Rep. Jase Bol-ger.
The Rev. Leo Lulko with Highland's Church of the Holy Spirit gave the invocation, and Cats and the Hddler, a Highland-based youth trio, helped provide entertainment.
"We're going to put people back to work, not because the govemment built it, but because the private sector built it," Hoekstra said. He's campaigning against current
U.S. Sen. Debbie Staben-o\v. "We're bringing out true American values."
Rob and Christine Long, owners of the host farm, said they were excited to host the rally.
"Rob always wanted to have a political com roast," said Christine Long, a county commissioner representing Commerce and Milford. "Who would have thought it would be for Romney-Ryan?"
Pat Nelligan. a Commerce resident who lives just down the road from the farm, said she wasn't surprised the Longs hosted the event.
"They had that huge fundraiser at Bakers," she said. "Oakland County is the place to be. I'm not surprised (Romney chose the farm). It's a great location."
Romney and Ryan "have to win," she added. "I strongly support them. If they don't win, the U.S. is in big trouble."
Northville woman fights 'good fight' against ovarian cancer By Julie Brown
Staff Writer
Ovarian cancer is the fifth-leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. It lacks an early detection test, and fewer tlian 20 percent of cases are diagnosed in the important early stage.
The American Cancer Society says in 2012 about 22,280 new cases will be diagnosed, with 15,500 women in the U.S. dying of ovarian cancer. Survival rates for other cancers have improved dramatically recently, but much less so for ovarian.
Terrie ICarebian of NorthVille Townsliip wants to cliange thaL Theuiothejrof a son and daughter in their 20s has been in chemotherapy for
the disease four times; fighting it since 2003. She's in remission.
Karebian, 58, gets a lot of her information from wrivw.mioca.org, established in 2011. That's the Michigan OVarian Cancer Alliance and its website.
September is OVarian Cancer Awareness Month. Karebian has been working with North-VUle business owner Mar-gene Buckhave on a 6-9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7, eVent at Northville Square on Main Street in downtown Northville.
There vvill be a table out that evening with information, and G G Boutique will give a percentage of sales to MIOCA and a match.
Organizers will also "Tam the Town Teal" Terrie ICarebian of Northville Township describes husband John as her "rock" through her

"I'm in remission so tliat's a good tliing," Karebian said. "I just keep fighting it and hope for the best."
Her cliildren "and a great support system of family and friends" help tremendously.
She empliasizes the importance of getting a second opinion upon diagnosis. Karebian is being treated at the University
of Michigan, but has been to other facilities as well.
Ovarian cancer is harder to detect, said ICarebian, a retired teacher of family and consumer science in the Bloomfield Hills schools. Its symptoms prompt its name as
the "Silent Killer." "I really was pusliing
for more testing to be done," she recalled.
The local events are designed to promote awareness. "We're excited that they're letting us turn the town teal," she said of the ribbons. She's grateful for Bucldiave's support as well.
In addition to the Sept. 7 event, local fine artists and craftspeople will hold an "inVitation only" autumn air fair Oct. 5-7 at NorthVille Square in do\Vntown NorthVille. Fair hours are noon to 9 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sattirday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
The art eVent is in support of artist participants and in fundraising for MIOCA. Each artist participating is donating a portion of sales to the alliance. Some of the artists are cancer surViVors.
During the first night of the fair, NorthVille's First Friday eVent will offer shops, eateries and gaUeries open later with food, wine and music.

Novi sending 14 to state GOP convention By Julie Brown
Staff Writer
Although no delegates from NoVi are officially attending the Republican National ConVention in Florida this week, the city will be well represented at the Sept. 7-8 Michigan Republican conVention in Grand Rapids.
Fourteen NoVi delegates will gather with GOP delegates statewide to nominate candidates for the Michigan Supreme Court, state Board of Education, and uniVersity boards for the UniVersity of Micliigan, Micliigan State UniVersity and Wayne State Uni-Versity. The court candidates then rtm on a nonpartisan basis.
DaVid Staudt, NoVi mayor pro tem, lias been selected to serve at the state conVention seVeral preVious times. Tliis year, he'll be accompanied by daughter Rachel, 19, a Mott Community College student on a Volleyball scholarsliip.
"Tliis is her third state conVention," dad Staudt
Dave Staudt
said. "She's Very excited in participating." This will be Rachel's first time as a delegate.
"Local politics is important," said DaVid Staudt, also treasurer for the Oakland County Republican Party. "County politics is important." Those serVing in those offices have a lot of impact, he said.
''We always attempt to select the best people that represent the Republican Party," said Staudt, adding there are a lot of good candidates this year.
He works in the printing industry, doing some work for GOP candidates as well as worlcing on campaigns on the side.
Staudt lias received some candidate mailings prior to the conVention in Grand Rapids, seeking liis support. For the Supreme Court, he loolcs
for a rule of law judge. For the trustees, he seeks core conservative Values and those who'll keep costs of education down.
"We look out for the best interests of our residents," said Staudt, adding it's an honor to participate.
N o v i s c h o o l b o a r d m e m b e r
Another delegate is fellow NoVi resident Dennis O'CoImor, also Vice president of the NoVi school board.
"I'm disappointed this year. I was disappointed there wasn't the enthusiasm" for serVing as a precinct delegate, O'Connor said. He'd like to see more NoVi enthusiasm for the post, both for the GOP and Democrats, who conduct a conVention as weU.
"There's a ton of people running," said O'Cormor, who lias a marketing and training materials firm for regional and national clients.
"To me, a precinct delegate is just like a Vot
er like me and you," he said. He researches backgrounds, such as education and professional experience.
O'Connor agreed the races are significant. "All of these races are going to be overshadowed" by the presidency. "It's a shame. It all affects us. I think they're all important."
He too has been contacted by those seeking office, with O'Connor noting delegates' votes remain confidentied just as regular voters' ballots do.
O'Connor has served at two state conventions previously as a delegate. He said he hasn't seen a lot of "horse trading."
Tamara Swinson-Car-lone of Novi will serve her second time as a delegate in Grand Rapids. She seeks conservative candidates, "people that would hold up the Values of the Republican Party." Those include putting family first and being fiscally conserVa-tiVe.
Precinct Delegates 3 Carol J. Duffy; Julie Harold 4 David Staudt; Rachel Staudt 5 Bob Gatt 7 Geoffrey Franiding; Jim Kuptz; Wayne Wrobel 8 Janice DeMaria; Ed Lee; Miclnaei Yoi<ubison 9 Joseph P.

No deiegates were seiected for precincts 1, 2, 6,10,12, 19or21.

"I'm looking for somebody along Republican Party lines," she said. That includes being morally conserVatiVe.
"People can come from a Variety of backgrounds," said Swinson-Carlone, a certified public accountant. "I'm looking for more the conserVatiVe world View."
She wouldn't want, for example, all lavvyers on
a uniVersity board and prefers Variety.
"It's easy for us to focus on the president," she agreed, adding all races matter. "I do hope everybody takes a look at all the races."
She's had some information sent from the Romney campaign and others, but isn't sure if it's her being a delegate or just actiVe in her party-

liim get better committees." Dindoffer said.
N a n c y Cassis Cassis, 68, a former state
senator, decided last week tliat she is not "actively campaigning" for the special election. She emailed reporters with a statement, but stopped short of endorsing BentiVolio.
"Much lias been made of my comments from earlier tliis summer on Off the Record in wliich I stated that if I did not win the 11th Dis
trict primary I would withdraw from the special election," Cassis said. "I would like to clarify tliat, at tliat time, I Inade the remark in the context of only two filed candidates and for one to wdthdraw would save taxpayers the $650,000 expense of a special election. Tliat all clianged when tliree more people from Livonia fUed to rtm. Thus my name is on the ballot along with four other Republicans and one Democrat.
"The voters will go to the polls, see the names tliat are on the ballot, and our democratic process will work itself out as it has done for over 200 years in our great nation.
"It is time to lay our differences aside and work to get our RepubliCcin ticket elected in NoVember starting with Mitt Ronmey."
K e n Cr ider Crider, 47, a superin
tendent of heating and air conditioIiing at Kel-ley Bros., a LiVonia company, is running because he belieVes Voters should haVe more than one option on the ballot. Crider decided to rtm after BentiVolio was the only candidate who filed.
"We liaVe a lot of the same Views," Crider said of BentiVolio. "But he
takes liis Views too far."
Crider describes liimself as a "Cliris-tiancon-s e r V a t i V e Republican." He acknowledges
tliat BentiVolio is the candidate to beat in the race and loioWs it will be a challenge in his first campaign and election. "The best tiling about it is that I haVe no baggage," Crider said.
He said liis campaign is a grass-roots campaign. He lias spent money on campaign signs and wrist bands, Crider said.
Crider said he is opposed to abortion, he said he was raised by adoptive parents. "My biological mother was homeless," he said.
I d Crider
Kavanagh
"If she had the choice to aijort me. I wouldn't be here."
Crider also has participated In protests in Washington, D.C., with liis wife Penny. "We weren't happy with the health care bill," he said. "I tmderstand tliat we need some change. But I'm a free market person and I don't want the govemment involved."
Crider said Jiis campaign consists of four people going door to door, making phone calls and placing campaign signs.
Caro lyn K a v a n a g h Kavanagh, 33, a restau
rant and wine consultant, is the daughter of I6th District Judge Sean JCavana-gh. She ran because she enjoys public service. She
. voltmteered to assist in Haiti after the earthquake and in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina struck there several years ago.
"Politics is a natural progression for me to represent my community on a larger scale," she said. "The opportunity here
is really unique. It is a month-long campaign versus a six-month campaign."
Kavanagh lias assisted
with previous local campaigns. She's raised some money for her race from friends and family, and lias put up campaign signs along major roads in the 11th District.
Her demograpliic, a yotmger female in Congress, isn't prominent in Washington, so she'd like to represent her generation in Congress, she said.
Kavanagh expects Congress will work on budget issues and vote on income taxes. She would vote to maintain tax cuts, she said. "This will be a lame-duck session," she said. "The community needs to be represented on every single Vote . "
Reactions are positiVe from the community about her campaign rtm, KaVanagh said. "EVeryone is shocked tliat tliis seat is available, but I hear from a lot of people who say to me, 'Tliat's great; we need a yoimger person.'" she said.
Steve K i n g ICing, 58, a musician and
certified teacher, is nmning because he sees the opportunity to serve the public, even if it is only for a few weelcs.
King doesn't know if any Votes will take place in Wasliington the final weeks of the year. He said he would keep employees who remain after the criminal cliarges were filed against four former McCotter staffers. "I would reach out to residents who liaVe not been able to get help oVer the past few years," he said.
"I would help them. You aren't going to be able to go and change Washing-
King ton." King,
a former Livonia school board member, decided to run as a Republican because he considers liimself a "moderate Republican." When asked why he ran as a Democrat for state representatiVe against Republican John Walsh in 2008, King said: "I wanted to beat him. Tliat goes on all the time."
ICing is running because he doesn't think BentiVolio will serVe the district well. "He might be a great guy or a nice person, but that doesn't set you up to be a legislator," King said.
King said he has met many residents of the 11th District during liis summer concerts with liis band, SteVe King & the Dittilies. He is also maintaining an oIHine presence tlirough Faceboolc.
D a v i d C u r s o n Curson, 63, served in
the U.S. Marines, then worked at Ford Motor Co.'s RawsonVille plant. A tool-and-die maker, Curson, the lone Democrat on the ballot, was also actiVe with the UAW and worked on a task force with Ron Gettelfinger on the goV-emment loans to Clirysler and G M .
Curson said he was outraged when McCotter's petitions were duplicated
and then McCotter resigned, leaV-ingthe 11th District without representation.
Curson "It was just foolish," Cur
son said. "For liim to abandon the citizens of the 11th District, I was outraged because there will be important legislation going on. With all of the health care debate and legislation, I felt it was our duty to haVe representation."
Curson said liis experience in the UAW in negotiating disputes between workers and management trained liim well for Congress. "When there were problems or issues, I'd sit down with someone across the table," he said. "We want a win-win for both sides. Tliat's the way goVemment used to worlc, but now, it's just obnoxious."
Curson expects the jobs bill to be up for a Vote before the end of the year. "It affects the economy at all leVels," he said. "I would work to get support to get tliat passed." Curson said he also would work on Veteran and health care issues.

Crawford's resolution requests state pay for
special election By CaI Stone
staff Writer
The Oakland County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 22 approved a resolution sponsored by Commissioner Kathy Crawford, of NoVi, in support of Oakland County Clerk Bill Bullard's request that the state of Michigan reimburse local goVemments for the Sept. 5 special primary election.
In a letter dated July 12 to GoVemor Snyder, Bul-lard formally requested that local communities not be stuck with the bill for tliis election which virill cost several hundred thousand dollars.
"I introduced the resolution after having a conversation with Coimty Clerk Bill Bullard who expressed aU of the difficulties this special election caused the 11th District commtmities," said Crawford. "I spoke to our Novi clerk. Maryaime Comeilus. and she shared her frustration not only with the unanticipated costs but also the complications, additional Voltm-
Kathy Crawford
teer training and a Variety of other issues."
The election was called for by the goVemor following the
resignation of Congressman Thaddeus McCotter before the end of his term serVing the 11th District. The September election will determine the party nominees to fill the Vacant seat for only a brief six-week period after the NoVember general election.
Estimates have run as high as $650,000 across Oakland and Wayne cotm-ties, and the majority of this cost will be borne by local governments who neither plaImed nor budgeted for tliis election.
Cornelius anticipates the election to cost Novi between $30,000 and $35,000.
"Tliis special election has put an imdue hard-sliip on commtmities,"
said Crawford. "I felt it was fair to request that the state provide for the reimbursement since the State of Michigan is responsible for the cost of elections that include only state and federal issues when held outside of the normal election calendar."
The costs of presidential primaries and for special constitutional elections liaVe partially or completely been reimbursed in the past.
"We need to l>e united on belialf of our local communities who are already maldng tough choices," said Bullard. "Tliis tmfImded mandate wrill force many communities to choose whether to cut back on public safety or other necessary programs to balance their budgets. Tliis resolution sends a clear message to Lansing and our legislators that we are serious about this request."
Bullard has been in contact with seVeral Oaldand Coimty legislators who have indicated an interest in supporting the cause.

Six years ago, Mary Mack liad no idea wlio Rose Cerroni was. Neither one of them laiew Darcy Blakemore.
Now. the tliree women are fast friends, bound by fear and puipose, friend-sliip and hope.
They met for the first time when they walked in the 2006 Susan G. Komen
Micliigan 3-Day, a 60-mile liike in support of breast cancer research. .And tliat's wliat brought them to downtown Plymouth Saturday to cheer on some 1,100 walkers who raised some $3.2 million tliis year.
Walkers passed tlirough Plymouth at about the halfway point as they do every year. The first day liad already taken them tlirough Farming-
Novi Bobcat cheerleaders did a fine job inspiring hundreds of waIkers during the Susan G. Komen 3 Day on Aug. 19.
ton, Farmington Hills and Livonia, where they'd camped at Greenmead Ilistoj-ical Park.
When they liit Plym-outlL they foimd Maclt,
Cerroni and Blakemore waiting among the tlirong. The tliree are tied together by the walk and the disease. Mack, a Northville resident, is a 19-year survivor, wliile Cerroni is a 21-year sur-Vivor from Livonia. And Blakemore, who lives in Westland, lias two aunts who fell victim to the disease.
''That's how we became friends," said Blakemore, a seven-time walker who took tliis year off to care for her ill father. "It's total support. (Walkers) need us. They're otir fjimily."
L o n g - t e r m surv iva l Cerroni has now been
part of tliat family. Having survived for more tlian two decades, she's acutely aware of the land of work done with money raised by the walkers.
"They're walldng lias gotten (Mack) to 19 years and me to 21 years," Cerroni said.
Mary Ivan of Canton walked the 60 miles for her cousin, ICaren Reynolds, who died in 2006 at the age of 37 after a five-year fight with breast cancer. She was in Kellogg Park Saturday with
her boyfriend and her sister and a Iiiece, all of whom liave walked the walk, though they weren't this year.
"They were an inspiration to me," said Ivan, who lay on the ground stretcliing tight leg muscles. "Karen was a great person, and she was a fighter. Tliis is my way of giving back to her."
Jeanette Jones of Novi wasn't walldng, but she was among the 350 Volunteers who serVed as crew members for the walk. She said she's got family and friends fighting different lands of cancer, and she supports anytliing tliat raises money to support a cure for any of them.
"If you find a cure for one, it'll triclde down to all foiTOs of cancer," Jones said.
Kellie Stallings of LiVonia walked with her friend, Courtney Zochowsld of Redford as part of the team "Linda's I.egacy, ICathy's Recovery." Stallings lias an atmt who lost a battle with cancer, and a friend who is suirViving.
Zochowsld said she walked for the future.
Pos i t ive exper i ence "We walk to find a
cure," the Redford woman said. "We walk for sur-ViVors, for our friends and for our children. We walk so one day they won't have to worry about cancer."
Emma Lucken of Birmingham and Claire Westerlund of BeVer-ly Hills were part of the Susan G. Komen Youth Corps, supporting Emma's mom, a breast cancer survivor since 2008.
"I wanted to be part of it... I did it last year," Emma said. "It was lots of ftm."
Her mom, Pam Lucken, said her daughter and her friends have really been "part of it" for years, liaving come along many times with Mom, who was taldng part in her eighth wallc She's glad for the support, but prouder of the experience the ldds are gaining.
"It's ftm coming out here with the ldds, especially when it has impacted their lives," Pam Lucken said. "It's a great, very positive experience for them."

D r e a m ' s a real i ty
F i r s t - t i m e a u t h o r p e n s t h r i l l e r
By Ju l ie B rown Staff Writer
When .Allen Watts of NoVi was working at General Motors and raising a family, he often thought about writing a book.
"It was one of my passions," he said. He read many books and would tliink, "One of these days, I'm going to stop and write one of my own."
That dream recently came true with publication by Wliiskey Creek Press of liis first fiction book, "Caution: Electrical Hazard."
It's a mystery/tliriller, and tells of two men, a washed-up golf pro and National Gujird pilot, who are struck by lightning. They acquire teleldnetic powers and can move small objects, the starting point for the storyline.
"I'm a golfer and I love military liistory," Watts said. "I kind of tied it all together." In the book, the golf pro's wife believes he can use the power to revive liis cztreer and escape liis past.
Watts retired in 2004, having spent 32 years with G M . "I pecked at it and pecked at it for six years," he said of the book, wliich took a few months of concentrated effort to complete.
His neighbor had written a book about her experiences as an .Andria Doria survivor, an ocean liner tliat simk. Tliat neighbor helped Watts with a publisher.
His book is new and he doesn't know sales figures yet. He's liad a couple five-star Amazon reviews from people who liked it, including one who thought it would be a good movie. Family and friends liave praised "Caution: Electrical Hazard."
His second book is under way and isn't a sequel but includes a couple cliarac-ters from the first. It's more along the lines of detective fiction.
Watts graduated from Detroit Catholic Central High School and was in the pre-dental program at Wayne State University. His career at G M included hourly
H A 7 A R D .
work and time in salajned supervision. He's married to Catherine and the cou
ple lias tliree grown cliildren. The family lias a home Up Nojrth used all year, and Watts likes htmting.
He also enjoys worldng with liis liands, including carpentry and small engine worlc "I'm always a liandyman doing sometliing," at their homes or their single daughter's home.
He'd like the second book to come out in late 2013 or 2014, and lias an idea for a tliird. "We'll see how sales go and just how much time I can spend at it," Watts said.
He encourages those who wish to write a book to take the pltmge. "If Bristol Palin can get her life story written at the tender age of 19, anyone can write a book," he said joldngly, adding on a serious note that would-be authors should pursue tliat dream.

There are over 30 sculptures and art pieces arranged tliroughout the property. In the meantime, the Barrs will continue to live there.
L a n d r y i n v o l v e d The idea started when
before leaving office, then-Mayor David I ^ d r y began talldng to Barr about the possibility of converting liis home, studios and sculpture garden to city prop-erty so it could be used by the public as a city park and dwelling for an artist residency. .After a year of worlc, it's now a reality and ILandry tliinlcs it giVes Novi an added dimension for those who loVe art.
He said the goal is "to be able to create a city and environment where there are unique opportu-Iiities for all".
He said the initial message of not using taxpayers' money was received and tliat's why tliis specific agreement was reached.
Landry said Barr's attorney lias agreed to include, at no extra cost, six pieces of sculpture. The city will not be spending any taxpayer money on art and pays no more tlian the fair market Value of the proper
ty. There is also the added benefit of the Barrs donating enough pieces of art to form the nucleus of a tnIe art park.
The council was all for the agreement with each member expressing their thanks to the Barrs for allowing the opportunity. Councilwoman Terry Margolis calls it a gem and phenomenal addition to NoVi's parks system.
"This is sometliing that really distinguishes Novi from other cities," she said.
Mayor Bob Gan said he was initially hesitant about the idea and that his main was using tax dollars on buying a house, lcnowing it would need the usual upkeep. However, he said because LandI-y was beliind the project and would support it tliroughout, he would now support it as well.
"But when I fotmd out Mayor I ^ d r y was going to give more of liis time and join the parks foundation and make a commitment to raising money to buy art, that's good enough for me," Gatt said.
Coimcilman .Andrew Mutch said going forward, Novi should set some goals for the park and be a real partner in maldng it a great spot.

P a i n t i n g h o n o r s M a y b u r y Portrait hangs with pride in library,
enriches community By JuIie Brown
Staff Writer
A portrait of William H . Maybury, for whom Maybury State Park is named, was hung July 25 for display in the local history room of the NorthVille District Library. The portrait by natiVe Scot artist James I?aebum Middle-ton from 1934 was commissioned for what would become President Franklin D. RooseVelt's Public Works AdmiIiistration.
At that time, artists and many others were out of work and federal government programs endeavored to employ them. The painting has local liistory as well, having htmg until the early 1960s at the former Maybuiy Sanatorium on the current park grotmds. The facility was used to treat tuberculosis for a number of years, with prominent Detroit businessman Maybury instrumental in its founding.
"We've Icnown about it," said Alfred Acker-man of Northville Township, head of the conservation department and a pctinting conservator at the Detroit Institute of •Arts. The painting, still owned by the federal government, had earlier labels on its origins. "We were sort of the guardians of the painting."
Part o f h i s t o r y The 900-acre sanatori
um began with the city of Detroit buying the land in 1917. It was bounded by Seven Mile, Eight Mile. Beck and Napier roads.
The sanatorium opened in 1921 as Detroit Municipal Tbberculosis Sanatorium. It later became Spring Hill Sanatorium and Maybuiy Sanatorium. William Maybury died Nov. 4,1931, of T B , not living to see dramatic treatment improvements that led to the facility shutting down in August 1969.
Ackerman said the portrait hung at the sanatorium while it was open, and went into storage at the DIA. It has more liistorical than artistic value, so officials explored a community placement.
"We feel the library's a very fitting location for it," said Julie Her-rin, Northville library director. "We think it's wonderful. It's really part of local liistory and that's part of what we're about."
The library has extensive materials on Maybury and the sanatorium, Herrin added.
Ackerman, who's been visiting Maybury State Park over 20 years, was glad to work on the painting. "It just made sense
This is the portrait before conservation work. This is the portrait after the recent conseo/ation work done by the DIA's AIfred Ackerman, a NorthviIIe Township resident
to see if we could keep it in the community," he said. "The painting needed some conserVation work wliich we were happy to do."
He concentrated on its upper right and lower left which were "disfiguring." Ackerman did "inpainting" for the small cracks under magnification, needed in part because the white ground was exposed by cracks.
The DIA staff also put on a frame, which they'd like to replace down the road with a permanent frame of black cherry
wood from the state park site. The Smithsonian, supervising the program, requires acrylic over paintings in public places, wliich was put on.
Ackerman is pleased with the almost glare-free acrylic used. The 26-year DIA staffer fit the work into other duties, at no taxpayer cost.
"It birings the park into greater context," Ackerman said, noting it puts a human face on the site and its history "which I tliink is an important part of Northville."
The artist's background has been hard to ascer
tain, although Ackerman noted he would liave to have been a U.S. citizen to work under the WPA. "More than likely, he came over here in the teens or '20s. The records are just somewhat scant," including on Middleton's date of death.
' V e r y p l e a s e d ' City of NorthVille res
ident Jerry Mittman is a member of the Friends of Maybury StatePark. Mittman said: "The Fiiends are Very pleased that the portrait of Mr. Maybury will be displayed at
the NorthVille District LibraIy in the local liistory room. That is a Very fitting location and the portrait will serve as a reminder of the important role he played in the liistory of the area."
The Friends group will have a presentation on the liistory of the sanatorium 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. Oct. 10, at the Northville Community Center. Additional information on the site is at www.friend- sofmaybury.org or www. mayburysanatorium.com.

R e a d i n g s u c c e s s Tliis summer, Novi students
spent an unbelievable amount of t ime reading, and we are so proud of them. The Novi Public Library's 2012 Summer Reading Program was highly successful, wi th 1367 children and 241 adults participating, a substantial increase over 2011 . The children alone logged in over 29,172 hours of reading.
As always, the library also offered a number of programs to entertain its patrons. There were crafts, movies, game shows, and entertainers such as Baffling Bill the Magician and scientist/comedian Steve Belliveau. The culminating event for ail age groups was the chance to go to Paradise Park and ride go-karts, play laser tag and mini-golf, and experience the climbing wall and trampoline, after which they could enjoy lunch, all generously donated by Jeff and Theresa Wainwright, owners of Paradise Park.
There are many members of our community w h o supported the Summer Reading Program participants in their accomplishments. We could not have conducted our program wi thout the help of our teen volunteers.
We also owe a large debt of gratitude to those w h o sup-

As we approach the 100th anniversary of the Road Commission for Oaldand
County (RCOC) - we were founded in 1913 - it is constructive and alustrative to look back and see how we are doing now compared to various points in the pasL
For example, 50 years ago, in 1962, the Road Commission was run by County Uigh-way Engineer Paul Van Roekel. By all accounts, Paul Iran a tight sliip, and the Road Commission then, as now, was lcnown for its efficient opera
tion. In fact, when Van Roekel retired
in 1981, the Road Commission named its Waterford Townsliip facility the Paul Van Roekel Service Center in liis honor.
Here's an interesting fact about Paul's early 1960s tenvH-e. In 1962, he oversaw an agency with 425 employees - tliat's more employees than the Road Commission has today.
Tliink about that for a momenL In 1962, Oaldand County had:
• Just over lialf the population it has today, with about 700,000 people, compared to our 1.2 million today.
• About one-fifth as much traffic as we have today (2.5 billion annual Vehicle miles of travel compared to today's 12.3 billion)
• Less tlian a quarter the number
of traffic signals we liave today (350 compared to 1,600 today)
• One tliird as many traffic signs (50,000 compared to today's 150,000)
Additionally, if you consider all the roads tliat liave been widened or paved since 1962, we liave thousands of miles of additioIial road lanes today. .And yet, we liave fewer employees to maintain the Vastly expanded system in 2012 tlian we had in 1962.
Now, maybe we were a lit-de heavy in 1962.1 don't laiow. I wasn't there, and it's liard to judge 50 years after the fact.
It's interesting to note tliat the 1963 budget, approved in 1962, totaled almost $is.7 million. Compare tliat to the proposed 2013 budget we expect to approve in Septemljer, wliich totals just over $103 million. Perliaps even more interesting is the fact tliat salaries and wages in 1962 accounted for nearly one tliird of the budget, wliile today, they account for less tlian 25 percent
I can assure you tliat today, we are lean and mean. We are doing a lot more work tlian eVer ljefore. .As recently as fiVe years ago, in 2007, we liad 25 percent more employees. And those workers were busy then.
In the last fiVe years, we liaVe relentlessly worked to improVe our efficiency, and our employees liave stepped up. Today, they are doing more worlc Employees are cross-trained so they can help out in other departments or divisions when needed.
And many of our employees liave taken a sense of ownersliip of the agency - they truly want to do
the best they can, with the resources available, for the customers we serve. For many, tliis is personal It's our friends, our neiglibors and our feuTulies tliat we serve as well as the motoring public at large. We are committed to the safest roads and the liighest level of serVice.
Of course, tliat doesn't mean we can do eVerything that eVery-one wants all the time. EVen if we liad twice as many employees and a budget twice as large, we simply wouldn't he able to fulfill the request of eVery person who contacts the Road Commission.
But, I am confident tliat eVery Road ComInission employee wotild agree with me, when I say we are here to do our leVel lsest to meet your needs and pIrovide the Ijest coimty road system we can, with the resources av£iilable to us.
So, what would I>aul tliink of the propitious job we're doing today? Well, I can't speak for him, but I liave to lselieve he would he amazed - and proud - of the 2tmount of work we are doing today given the size of otir staff and the demands on our road system.
But I also het he would immediately recognize the driVe and determination shown by our staff, as well as their commitment to our customers. Those were ideals he preached throughout liis tenure, and ideals tliat remain Ingrained in the RCOC mindset.
E r i c W i l s o n is the chairman of the Road Commission for Oakland County. He was appointed in 2007 and is an attorney in private praaice. He can be reached at dcsmaiiOrcoc. org or (877) 858-4804.

r SOCIAL SECURITY Many people are
wrongly rejected when they apply for 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.a Bieske and Jennifer Aifonsi 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 inexperienced 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 Aifonsi have vast experience before local Michigan judges.
Attorneys Bieske and Aifonsi can often make a winning difference at the application stage. And, 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 disability law attomey Bieske has written a book for attorneys about the
subject and has been interviewed on various television programs. Both attorney Bieske and Aifonsi have also been interviewed on radio programs and have given speeches to many groups.
Attorneys Bieske and Aifonsi offer free phone or office consultation. If they represent you, there will be no fee charged until atter the case Is won. The fee is a percentage of rehoactive benefits.
Bieske and Aifonsi represent clients from all over the state of j Michigan. Their Livonia office is on Six Mile Road just west of 1-275. Their Novi office is located on liaggerty Road just north of 12 Mile Road. Call them at 1-800-331-3530 for a free consultation if you have been denied, or if you are thinking of possibly applying for Social Security benefits.

It was a long night for the green and wliite faitliful at Wildcat Stadium last weelc
NoVi (0-1) dropped their home opener on the gridiron 45-7 to former K V C riVal Brighton (1-0) in front of a crowd of 3,200 fans. The Bulldogs' offense out-gained the Wildcats 360-37.
"I'm real proud of our oVerall team," NoVi coach Todd Pennycuff said. "We just got worn down. Physically^ they were a more physical leam and it is Wliat it is; the stats show tliat."
, The liiglilight for NoVi was an 87-yard ldckoff return by lone Varsity fresliman Emanuel Jackson to counteract Brighton's first touchdown six minutes into the game. Maldng the catch at liis own 13-yard line, Jaclwon did a little liigh-step hop at the 30 to aVoid a diVing tack-ler from belrind and then cruised up the . left sideline in front of liis teammates for the final 70 yards to the end zone.
"Emanuel got us on the board With tliat ldckoff rettum," PeImycuff said. "He's a special ldd, but he's still a fresh-man and we lcnow tliat, so we'Ve got to ntirture liim along. But I thought he liad some bright spots for being a 14 year old playing with the big boys. That's pretty impressiVe to come out liis first ldckoff and he takes it back."
But tliat was it. Brighton scored again 2:10 later to go
up 14-7 after the first quarter and neVer looked baclc
At 5-feet-8 and 160 pounds, Brighton junior Mark Konieczny had four first-lialf rusliing touchdowns, including a 74 yarder, as part of liis 19 rush attempts tliat the Wildcats couldn't stop. He had 136 of liis team's 241 first-half yards. NoVi liad fiVe total net yards in the first half and trailed 28-7 at the brealc

O N T A P Novi's football team (0-1) visits White Lake Lakeland (1-0) 7 p.m. tonight before visiting Plymouth Salem's (1-0) west field 6:30 p.m. Sept. 7. Lakeland defeated Northville 39-14 last week and Salem beat Ann Arbor Huron 41-17. "They are a very good team," Novi coach Todd Pennycuff said of Lakeland. "They're much improved from last year. They're probably every bit as good as
. Brighton."
as Bulldog senior quarterback Cliase Browning (4-for-9,88 yards) attempted to tlirow the ball away up the middle as tliree Wildcats rushed at liim.
"He had an interception and a couple great liits," PeImycuff said. "But it's liard for Lucas to make plays when the other D-lineman are right in yotir face. We'Ve got to get that fixed, but tliat's fixable. I thought Lucas Buck played outstanding tonight, played hard and didn't giVe up."
HoweVer, the Wildcat receiVers and senior quarterback Ryan Caputo (3-for-10,14 yards), who liad no preVious quarterback experience, struggled to connect and went tliree and out on the ensuing drive. Caputo was sacked tliree times and forced to run 12 times for a Iiet loss of 18 yards in liis debut.
"I giVe our quarterback a lot of credit," Permycuff said. "He's coming in here, he's neVer played, he kept going out, he had a positiVe attitude, he's worldng liard and tliat's all you can ask for. I'm real proud of our quarterbaclc"
Tliings didn't improVe much in the second half as the Bulldogs only liad to ptmt once, adding two touchdowns and hitting l-of-2 field goal attempts. In the second half, Brighton had the ball for -16:18 minutes, compared to 7:42 by the W^dcats.

Tlie NoVi Varsity Bobcats (1-0) defeated the NorthVille Stallions (0-1) 22-6 on Aug. 25, in the season opener for both teams. The game began vidth the Stallions taking cliarge, scoring on their first possession after forcing a Bobcat ptmt from their own 25 yard line. The teams then exclianged possessions in wliat appeared to be shaping up as a defensive battle. Late in the first half, the Bobcats mounted a drive from their own 28 yard line, taldng it to the 19 yard line with 29 seconds remaining beliind strong running from Anthony D'Annibale and Tan Patterson. Quarterback Mike Ulle then went to the air with a strike to tight end Lincoln Cleary on a post route for the touchdown with 10 seconds remaining in the lialf. After the Stallions blocked the Bobcats' PAT ldclc, the teams went into the locker rooms tied at 6-6.
It was a different Bobcat team tliat emerged from lialf-time. The Stallions liegan the second half by driving across midfield to the 41 yard line. From there they tried to go over the top to their big tight end, only for LTlle to make a good read on the pass, intercept it and scamper 43 yards on the retum to the 22 yard line.

The teams exchanged possessions tmtil late in the 3rd quarter, when the Bobcats took over on their own 29 yard line. Running beliind excellent blocldng from the offensive right side of the line of Cleary, Calhoim, ICing, and Scott Latham, D'.Annibale started outside, cut back to the inside, and ran away from the Stallions' defense for a 71 yard touchdown run. The PAT lack by King was good again and the Bol>-cats led 22-6, wliich would tiecome the final score.
Offensively, the Bobi-cats were led in rusliing by D'Annibale, on 16 carries for 158 yards, and a touchdovm.

Boys harriers Wildcats get the best of third at season- two-thirds of Walled Lake
• opening race Wildcat runliers show
depth, potential By Chris Jackett
Correspondent
ImproVing on their 2011 finish of fifth place, Novi's boys cross country squad came out third of nine teams at the South Lyon Invitational Aug. 25.
"I was quite pleased with out performance today," Novi coach Robert Smith said. "It came as a bit of a surprise for us to take home a trophy. Last year, we came in fifth."
Junior Brian Barnes led the pack at sixth overall with a time of 17 minutes and 18 seconds.
"Barnes ran 40 seconds faster tlian he did at tliis meet last year," Smith said. "I hope tliis performance will lead liim to believe that he will be mixing it up with the front-runners in all of his races."
Trailing Barnes were senior Tim MacPher-son (13th in 17:46), sophomore Nate Hall (15th in 17:55) and sophomore Saliis'nu Malapati (debuting at 22nd in 18:17).
"Both Tim and Nate were hurt for a large portion of last season," Smith said. "If we can keep them healthy, we vtill be a much improved team. They are both very talented runners.
"Saliisnu is just going to get better and better as he adjusts to the 3.1-mile distance. He was a fresliman standout in track last spring in the two mile."
Coming in fifth for the Wildcats and 31st overall was senior Ben Jenkins (18:34), followed

by senior .Allen Potter (32nd in 18:35) and junior varsity team member .Andrew Ibrek (eighth of JV in 18:40).
"He ran in the 16s last season, so it's just a matter to time before he puts it all together. I'm confident that he vvill be right up there with Barnes at our next meet," Smith said of Jenldns. "Both .Allen and Andrew are very stable, consistent athletes. They both ran a very good race."
The Wildcats' next four ruimers - Collin Thomas, Michael Diclcmarm, Cameron Ricliman and Andrew Mizerowsld -were all within 21 seconds of Threk, giving Smith options for future races.
"We have a deep team tliis season," Smith said. "I anticipate that these guys, and more, will be in and out of our varsity all season. We liave a few other atliletes, too, like Pliil Baeza, Cameron Misko, Mitch Hall and Cameron Misko, who looked very good in our early season workouts. We have almost 20 guys who have a legitimate shot at being varsity. It's a great problem to liave."

If the Wildcats are missing last year's starters, it isn't showing much. The Wildcats have gotten tlirough the first week without a loss and, in Inost cases, by shutting out their opponents.
Novi went 2-0-1 in the first five days of competition last weelc, tying Ann .Arljor Skyline (0-0-1) ljefore shutting out lxjth Walled Lake Central (1-1-0) and Walled Lake Northern (0-3-0) in a pair of victories.
''Overall, it was a good first week," Novi coach Brian O'Leary said. ''I learned a lot alxiut my teams strengths and weaknesses. We are only returning one starter, so the ldds picked up some valuable experience against some good teams. We got t>et-ter from each game to the next and the kids liave lieen very open to making adjustments so that the team gets better."
The 'Cats gave up a big lead at home in their season opener Aug. 20 against Sl^line. NoVi went up 30, but tied 3-3.
Junior Don Nalcaslii-ma headed in a cross from junior Amitoj Cliahal with 18 minutes left in the first lialf to get tliings started. Junior Steve Caruso one timed in a cross from senior Tyler Holt six minutes later and then Holt one-timed a cross from fresliman Ibny .Asimadu tliree minutes after tliat

"For the (first) half, we played well for about 20 minutes and not so well for 20 minutes," O'Leary said. "In the second half, we lacked energy and it would
come back to haunt us." Two nights later, on Aug.
22, the 'Cats battied at Walled Lake Central in a game tliat was decided early. Nalcasliima headed a Matt Kiura cross to senior Tyler Sloan, who flicked the ball into the net tliree minutes into the contest for a 1-0 lead tliat would stand tlirough the final 77 minutes.

"For the game, we did not threaten their goal much and only generated nine shots with four on goal," O'Leary said. "But the defense, led by Mitch Adams, day King and Matt Kiura held strong. And we got strong play (from) substitutes Jay Kim, Seiya Ognino and Amitoj Chahal."

For Brighton, Konieczny finished with 171 yards and four touchdowns on 26 attempts, wliile senior Dan Buscliman liad tliree

Defensively, junior Austin Raci-cot and sophomore Cliristian Durham each had eight tacldes for NoVi, followed by seven apiece from Buck and Sayles. Brighton's leaders liad five. Permycuff also noted the play of junior linebacker Mark Ryan, senior comerback Blake Boron and sophomore Matt Sabo.
"I tliink we have to do a little bit more defensively to get more tliree and outs," Pennycuff said. "We're a little bit undersized than most people, so We just have to be
a little nastier, a little meaner. "We're just going to go back and
work on fundamentals and with our D-line. I tliink our ldds are playing hard, giving us everytliing they've got, and at the end of the day that's all you can ask.
"I tliink over time, if we just keep getting a little better each week, we'll be fine, but we are what we are. As long as the ldds keep believing and the coaches keep positive and every week we get better, that's all you can ask for."

Soccer alumni mix it up to raise money for cancer
Former Wilidcats bring in nearly $1,000 in memory of former coach By Chris Jackett
CorrespondenT
Meadows Stadium was filled witli soccer players liustling to tlie ball and showing good sportsman-sliip to one another, but it wasn't a Varsity competition, it was a coed alumni game featuring past Wildcats from 1987-2010.
Organized by 1995 alum Nichole Stocks, the Aug. 18 eVent raised just shy of $1,000 for the Michigan Institute of Urology In memory of late coach L.aiTy Christoff. who passed away in 2009 after coacliing both the NoVi boys and girls programs for seVeral years in the 1990s.
The NoVi Athletic Boosters donated S150 to the total wliile the rest was raised tlirough player registration and indiVidual donations, since there was no gate fee to attend. Stocks also said the eVent would not haVe been a success without the help of 1996 grad Erin Vogel, Atliletic Secretary Carol Sprys and former Interim Atliletic Director
Julie Fisette. There wasn't too much
rust in the game itself, either. With the yotmger alumni split between the two squads and seVeral older alurrmi showing they'Ve been keeping in shape, Team Green won •4-3 in the final two minutes over Team White.
Team Green neVer trailed, with 1995 grad Mandy (McGlin-nen) Becker scoring in the fifth minute as 1987's Mike Schwartz and 2007's Stephanie Crawford tallied assists. Team Green kept it going 10 minutes later when 2006's Katie Walker set up 2010's Taylor Hoover for a goal.
Team Wliite got on the board in the 28th minute when 1994 grad David Zyczynsld finished a play set up by 2000's Joe Hart and 2003's Angie Schmidt.
The 2-1 score would hold tlirough halftime and the first 24 minutes of the second half before Becker got a tlirough ball up the light side from Crawford to put Team Green up 3-1.
CHRIS JACKETT Team Green's Stephanie Crawford, left, is a 2007 Novi graduate who tallied three points, inciuding the game-winning goal in her squad's 4-3 alumni game victory. The game raised nearly SI ,000 for the Michigan Institirte of Urology.
But Team White, specifically Hart, wouldn't be stopped. With assists from 2010's .Andrew Lum-ley and 2007's Stephanie Janssens, Hart notched two goals two minutes apart from the center of the goal box to tie the contest 3-3 in the 83rd minute.
Not to be outdone by Hart's three points, Crawford scored five minutes later, with two minutes left in the game, off a ball
from 1995's Keith Barber to give Team Green the 4-3 victory.
Despite the multi-point efforts by Crawford, Hart and Becker. 1995 grad Joe Meyer was voted as the game's most Valuable player for liis midfield work on Team Green.

It was a clean sweep at the Rochester Invitational for NoVi's boys termis team last week.
Ranked No. 4 in DiVision I, the Wildcats swept all tliree opponents in all nine flights Aug. 21 in their first action of the season.
"It was a good start," NoVi coach Jim Hanson said. "Obviously, it land of showed our depth and that's going to have to be something we rely on all season long."
Sophomore Tim Wang led the way at one singles, cruising tlirough the opposition with a 6-0,6-1 decision oVer both Utica Eisenhower and Rochester, and a 6-0. 6-0 win over Grosse He.
"Tim Wang played awfully well," Hanson said. "He went tlirough some wrist problems last year, but he's healthy.
"Utica Eisenhower did not haVe their No. 1 player. He's a nationally ranked player. He's one of the faVorites to win one singles in DiVision I."
Fellow sophomore .Andre Liu was similarly successful at two singles, defeating Grosse Ile 6-4, 6-0; Rochester 6-0,6-1 and Eisenhower 6-1,6-3.
Fresliman Kousliik Kondapi, at tliree singles, and senior PaVan Rao, at four singles, each dropped just one game in their trio of Victories. Both defeated Grosse Ile and Eisenhower 6-0,6-0, while Kondapi defeated Rochester 6-1,6-0 and Rao beat Rochester 6-0, 6-1.
There was a little more resistance in doubles, but not enough to stop the Wildcats.
Junior Andrew Ying and senior Jason Carless beat Grosse Ile 6-1,6-0; Eisenhower 6-0,6-0 and Rochester 6-1,6-3 at one doubles.
The other junior/senior combo of senior Nisliant Kalcar and junior Micliael Chang beat Rochester 6-2, 6-3 at two doubles before sweeping Grosse Ile and

Novi's boys tennis squad was set to battle at East Grand Rapids IVionday, at Bloomfield Hills Andover Tuesday and at the Ann Arbor Pioneer invitationai 8 a.m. today before a brief break heading into league play 4 p.m. Sept. 11 in a home opener against Plymouth Salem. "That should be a good test. Those are tennis schoois," Novi coach Jim Hanson said.
Eisenhower both 6-0,6-0. "The two freslimen tliat
we'Ve got in our lineup played real well. For their first tournament, those kids played real well," Hanson said. "One and two doubles are part of our strengths and had a good tournament."
The second Varsity fresliman in the lineup, Maxx .Anderson, made liis debut at three doubles with senior Jon Thompson and came out 3-0 to start the season. The dup defeated Rochester 6-2, 7-6(1) before cruising tlirough both Eisenhower and Grosse Ile 6-1,6-0.
"I thought Rochester overall had a good team," Hanson said. "We'Ve just got to try and get better as the season goes on. I thought we made too many unforced errors. With that competition, we got away with it."
At four doubles, juniors Shashank Chitta and KeVin Xu got the best of Grosse Ile 6-2,6-0; Rochester 6-0,6-0 and Eisenhower 6-1,6-0.
"Our tliree-f our doubles will liave to compete like our one-two singles," Hanson said.

Penn State scandal shows leadership demands more
than just'l did my job' r
I
Lee Meadows
By Lee Meadows Guest Columnist
j am sure there are more tlian enough us who liave heard of or l>een touched
m by the Penn State scandal and, undoubtedly, opinions abound. One tliing that is for certain is tliat tliis story is not just another sports discussion in wliich eyes are rolled at the mere meiition of a statistic or a questionable call We lmow tliat we liave been pulled into an unfortunate and unconscionable event tliat staggers the imagination and intertwines so Inany angles tliat it is liard to know
where to begin. The legal angle, the
etliics angle, the moral angle, the humanity angle, the trust angle, the institutional angle and more, make tliis the land of news event tliat lias more legs tlian a chorus line! Yet, tlirough it all, there is one prevailing notion
tliat is an arc in wliich all of the aforementioned angles are bullet points. The leadersliip angle lias been mentioned and directed toward specific individuals who hold key institutional leadersliip roles. .As a society, we hold leadersliip to be the one constant in an ever-expanding kettle of social stew.
Since the economic debacle of 2007, most corporations liave heen subject to a microscopic eye and cliamber of voices tliat define liigher expectations that are a part of corporate social responsibility. The underlying assumption is tliat when faced With a dilemma, the option is, always, to 'do the right tliing". In the case of the Penn State scandal, tliat expectation meant going beyond passing along information and take decisive action under the umbrella of 'serving the greater good' — even if it meant chasing down the information and finding out that it was an uinsubstantiated rumor.
In the case of these irmocent victims, the greater good would liave been served knowing that die 'alleged' actions were false and then having to apologize ver
sus finding out the 'alleged' actioIis were true and hoping it goes away. There is notliing tliat explains away inaction when the perpetrator is an adult, who is supposed to lcnow better, and cliildren wlio Cetnnot fend for themselves.
Leadersliip demands action, even if information is minimal. Leaders are paid to make decisions. When those decisions involve the slightest liint of malfeasance among staff members, leaders are judged by the swiftness of their decisions where innocent lives are at stake. Wliile it can be argued tliat swift decisions are not always good decisions, inaction decisions, more often tlian not, result in more liarm tlian decisions tliat are made too quicldy.
There are those who would make the argument tliat leadersliip expectations in a public institution, like Perm State, are different tlian what is expected of a business. However, as our friends in .Arm Arbor liave demonstrated, when over 100,000 people show up for a home football game and spend money on all the surrotmding businesses, tliat's a business! The expectations are no different. We expect our state institutions to adhere to liigh standards of etliical and moral conduct without malcing a differentiation.
In the 1958 fUm 'The Buccaneer", the character of Jean Laf itte, played by Yul Brynner, is confronted aliout a sliip tliat was attacked resulting in the loss of lives. The attack occurred despite contrary orders from I^afitte. When asked if he attacked the sliip, he responded, "I was responsible." The irresponsible beliavior of staff members is just as much the responsibility of the leader. The leader is held responsible no matter if they were directly involved in the act or heard of it by way of a tliird party rumor. Leaders do not liave the option of saying, "I did my job!" More is expected, and in the case of the Perm State scandal, more was demanded.

Flood policies matter to residents, business owners as well
B y J u l i e B r o w n O&E Staff Writer
After y e a r s of short-term extensions. Congress has passed a five-year reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance I'rogram.
To put the significance of this passage into perspective, the NFIP has been extended 17 times since 2008 and lias expired twice, delaying or canceling 1,300 real estate transactions each day of its lapse, imdermining botli consumer and investor confidence, according to the NatioIial Association of Realtors.
The Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 win help bring stability to many real estate markets and ensure access to affordable flood insurance for
millions of home and business owners across the country, the N.AR says. More than 5.6 million home and business ovmers in 21,000 communities rely on the NTTP to protect against flood-related disasters in the U.S.
Jeff Juenemann, owner of Juenemann Insurance Agency in Westland, is a pro on flood insurance.
"Most people buy flood insurance because their home or business is located in a flood-plain." Those policies are issued to satisfy mortgage lenders, he said.
"That's how most people determine they need it," Juenemann said. "We don't generally l i a V e declared natural disaster floods."
Policies won't pay for a basement bacloip, he said. "It needs to be declared," he said.
The p o s i t i V e part of the con-
J u e n e m a n n
gressional actions, Juenemann said, is it offers stability for the next five years. It used to expire every year, and "Congress would have to authorize money to subsidize it."
"It would keep expiring." Agents would get notices not to write policies, and hear later it could again be processed.
"It's going to give us stability for the next five years," Juenemann said. He finds people often don't lojow what policies coVer.
"I tliink people are totally tinaware. I tliink people are blindsjded." Often, they're surprised to leam they live in a flood zone.
There are some television armoimcements aimed at boosting awareness, he said, but many people don't laiow wliat's
covered. "I think it's sometliing tliat is assumed to be in a homeowner's policy. I think homeowners are caught unaware."
Juenemann, a Northville Township resident, is marking his 30th year in business on Ford Road in Westland. He said rates are standardized, with F E M A regulating flood maps that determine zones.
"As long as the flood zone on the map is accurate, the rate is the rate," he said.
Plymouth-based attorney Kurt A. Olson agreed coverage is crucial for homeowners.
"Homeowners insurance is critical to pay for replacement or repair damages to your home," Olson said. "It will also pay for damages suffered by others if they
are injured on your property. Flood insurance may also be appropriate depending on your location, because a regular homeowners' policy will often not pay for flood damage. I recommend insurance to my clients as the construction costs of rebuilding or repairing a residence can be astronomical."
Judge Mark McCoImell of Westland's 18th District Court agreed. "Extremely important to protect your investment and your personcd property," McCo-nnell said. "It's obviously very important for people to have homeowners'."
That's also, true for renters, said McConnell, a lawyer with 19 years of experience who took the bench in 2009.

Q : I h e a r d r e c e n t l y a b o u t a c a s e o u t o f N e w J e r s e y w h i c h u p h e l d t h e r igh t o f a c o - o w n e r t o p u t u p s i g n s i n a c o n d o m i n i u m , n o t w i t h s t a n d i n g t h e r e s t r i c t i o n s o f t h e a s s o c i a t i o n . W h a t d o y o u k n o w a b o u t i t?
A: In a recent case decided June 13 by the Supreme Court of New Jersey, the question on appeal was whether the homeowners association could proliibit residents from posting political signs in the windows of their homes. New Jersey lias a tendency to rely
on the state constitution for authority to proliilJ-it the type of conduct which the 14th .Amendment would proliit>-it tlirough state action
such as First Amendment rights, eta The court basically concluded tliat the "proliferation of residential communities with standard agreements tliat restrict free speech would violate the fundamental free speech Values espoused in our Constitution, the liigher source of public policy." The cotirt went on to say tliat for tliat reason, it could not accept tliat a complete waiver of free speech rights in one's home covld be
-_pp5S1ble, but;insjteadthe exercise of tliose rights can be subject to reasonable time, place and marmer restrictions. In effect, restrictive covenants that imreasonably restrict speech can be declared imenforceable as a matter of public policy. Whether or not tliat would be applicable in other jurisdictions is still questionable.
Q : I a m a m e m b e r o f a b o a r d a n d t h e r e s t o f o u r b o a r d d o e s n o t c a r e t o f o l l o w t h e by Iaws a n d d o e s n o t w i s h t o g o t o a n y c l a s s e s o r r e a d a n y b o o k s a b o u t c o n d o o p e r a t i o n . W h a t c a n i d o t o g e t t h e i r h e a d s m o v i n g i n t h e r i g h t d i r e c t i o n ?
A: Hopefully, an attorney for the association, if there is one, who is loiowledgeable about community association law will enlighten them. However, many times these types of boards do not even go to any attorney or liave their attorney advise them. You shotild get your own attorney, if necessary, to write a letter to the board telling members tliat they are not discliarg-ing their legal and fiduciary duties, wliich could result in lialjility not only for the association, but them personally. Short of certain outside pressure being brought, my experience is tliat these directors will continue to operate in a negligent and haphazard fasliion.
