Focusing on jump blues and the little big band sound of the 1940’s and beyond, the Kings play the music of legends like Count Basie, T-Bone Walker, Roy Brown, and BB King along with original compositions and modern classics. They personify the party-time culture so popular in post-war America, and so prevalent today.
Founded in 1982 as a trio, they have progressed through numerous personnel changes and stylistic make-overs to become the large jump band that they are today. Based in Lansing, Michigan, TDRK have played venues the length and breadth of Michigan and into Canada, as well as Indiana and points south. In demand at festivals and community events, their music appeals to crowds of all ages.

Concours d'Eleqance visitors took a good look at this Saleen.

good job.” I t was G riffith ’s first Concours.
“I t ’s a wonderful show.The committee did a great job,” said Robert Sirna of Rochester, a repeat Concours exhibitor who showed off his 1958 Kurtis, which raced the Indianapolis 500 for three consecutive years.
FULL WEEKENDSunday’s Concours was the
culmination of several days of related events, including a motoring tour for show-car owners, an exhibition o f automobile-themed art, a trip by 40-some of the classic cars to Michigan International Speedway, and an auction of 70 collectible cars that generated more than $7.6 m illion in sales.
Cars were exhibited in more than 25 classes, including, for the first tim e, a class dedicated to Indianapolis 500 racers as a commemoration of the storied race’s 100th anniversary. The Indy class drew more than 30 cars.
“This is a special Indy presentation. Probably one of the best in the country,” said Sirna, who opened up the Kurtis on the M IS track Friday. (H e had no idea how fast it went, he said; the car has no speedometer.)
Sirna put on a show Sunday afternoon, starting up the Kurtis and revving the engine for a few minutes, attracting a crowd o f onlookers who cheered after he shut it down.
The Concours kept local officials and community groups busy w ith logistics and support services.
Plymouth Township Supervisor Richard Reaume was out Friday, Saturday and Sunday, making sure traffic kept flow ing and that township workers kept roadside l it ter picked up.
“W e just wanted to put the community’s best foot forward,” said Reaume.
He also took in the car show; Cadillacs are Reaume’s favorites, as he worked in
>
General Motors Corp.’s Clark Street plant, where Caddys were made, years ago.
“I th in k it was spectacular.I t was awesome,” Reaume said of the Concours presentation.
“I thought it was a very nice venue and just a beautiful setting for looking at some really beautiful cars,” said Plymouth City Manager Paul SincoCk, who was among volunteers from the Plymouth Rotary who provided parking control at St. John’s.
COMMUNITY STEPS UPThe Kiwanis Club of
Colonial Plymouth helped out at the A C H plant on Sheldon Road, where general-admission visitors could park their vehicles and catch a shuttle to St. John’s, and the Plymouth Comm unity Chamber of Commerce provided office support and exhibitor registration services at the site and handed out maps and information about local attractions to the many exhibitors from across the country.
“I t says a lot about the community. Everybody worked together to make it all work,” Sincock said.
“It was a great experience. Fantastic exposure for the community to be associated w ith a quality event like this,” said Wes Graff, the chamber’s executive director.
Plymouth also got involved w ith a free shuttle service on Saturday and Sunday, sponsored by the Downtown Development Authority and the Old Village Association, w ith stops downtown and in Old Village. The service provided 795 rides, said the DDA’s John Buzuvis.
A t the Station 885 restaurant, which chipped in for the shuttle, manager Rob Costanza said business was down on Saturday but up on Sunday, and that it’s perhaps hard to gauge any Concours spin-off because the show is new to the community.
Station 885 was also a site for advance Concours ticket ’ purchases, and Costanza saw
brisk sales, but added that most ticket-buyers didn’t stop for food or drink.
“There’re definitely some positives to take away from it, but there’ll be a learning curve because it’s such a new event,” Costanza said.
Nevertheless, Costanza said Station 885 is in for next year i f the Plymouth shuttle returns.
“I ’ll definitely comm it to that. W e have to have our presence known in Old Village,” he said.
Concours exhibitors and* their cars competed for awards in many different categories, but the best-in-show honors went to the 1933 Duesenberg SJ Riviera Phaeton owned by John Groendyke o f Enid, Okla. (domestic car class), and the 1938 Mercedes-Benz 540K Autobahn Kurier, owned by A rturo and Deborah Keller o f Colonia Tlacopac, Mexico (foreign car class).

required to enter the competition, sold for $100 each.
“W e are very pleased w ith the results from our St. John’s sale this weekend,” said Gerry Hockin, R M ’s chief operating officer, in a press release. Hockin added the response to the new venue — the annual Concours had been at Meadow Brook H a ll in Rochester for 32 years — was “extremely positive.”
The Packard, which cost Jolson $6 ,600 new, hadn’t been displayed for nearly 50 years, the press release said.
Another notable auction item was the “Ghost Car,” a 1939 Pontiac Deluxe Six w ith a see-through body made of Plexiglas. M ade for the 1939- 4 0 W orld’s Fair in N ew York City, the “Ghost Car,” w ith just 86 miles on it, sold for $308 ,000 .
O ther big-ticket vehicles at Saturday’s auction included a 1929 Duesenberg Model J Convertible Berline ($704 ,000), a 1955 Mercedes- Benz 3 0 0 SL Gullwing ($676,500), and a 1934 Duesenberg Model J Bobtail Speedster ($506,000).

Miracle Mashers aim fo r derby fencesThe M iracle Mashers are at
it again, and w ith the success generated last year they are swinging for the fences w ith the second annual Dale A. Rumberger Home Run Derby to benefit the M iracle League of Plymouth.
Last year’s Rumberger derby raised more than just awareness about the up-and-coming baseball community for special-needs children — it also raised more than $5,000.
W ith that in m ind, the M iracle League of Plymouth has put much thought into this year’s home run derby. Set for 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, at Salem High School’s baseball field, the second annual derby is looking to foster a competitive environment for local high school standouts, and a fun, fam ily atmosphere for spectators.
The competitive atmosphere
Last year's home run derby raised more than $5,000. This year's event takes place Saturday at the Salem High School baseball field.
w ill consist of 18 hitters from nine schools in the Kensington Lakes Athletic Association:
• Salem: Brett Remirez, Drew Thompson, Scott Devine, and Tommy Rodriguez
• Plymouth: Tyler Goble, M ike Nadrtowski, and Richard Guglielmi
• Canton: Ryan Bazner,Chris Perkovich, and Braden Price
• Northville: M a tt Stojkov• Novi: Jim Eloff• Livonia Churchill: Daniel
Cameron and Ben M atig ian• Livonia Franklin: Joe
Barczuk and Travis Barnes• Livonia Stevenson:
Brendon Hayes• Hartland: Jake LoweryHelping create the fam ily
atmosphere o f the event w ill be a silent auction including packages such as a “movie package” and “Detro it Tigers” package along w ith fun events that w ill take place on the field in between rounds o f the derby. The Home Run Derby w ill also feature tables promoting local businesses and a registration table for the M iracle League of Plymouth.
M iracle League officials are aiming at what they hope w ill be a successful day at the ballpark to complement its opening day on Aug. 20.

Buying Michigan products means putting Michigan people to work — and getting some great food and other products in the bargain. The Buy Michigan N ow Festival, a weekend celebration of the state’s annual Buy Michigan Week, puts the focus on that.
Lisa Diggs, founder of Buy Michigan Now, said, “As an individual I was looking for a way to revitalize our local economy.” The Buy Michigan Now campaign was borne out of encouraging people to buy Michigan products and keep dollars here.
“That was to create more awareness,” Diggs, a Livonia resident, said of Buy Michigan Week as declared by then- Gov. Jennifer Granholm. “The natural next step would be let’s create a giant party. That’s how the festival was borne.

Plymouth resident Andrea Fisher saw a need in Garden City and responded by developing a youth theater program.
The group’s first production, The Story o f Grimridge, has one show at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, at H enry R u ff Elementary School at H enry R u ff and Maplewood, east o f M errim an. Tickets are $5, available at the door.
Fisher, 19, a student at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, has had a passion for theater ever since she began performing in youth theater shows as a young child.
“There were no children’s theaters in Garden City, leaving the kids w ith no place to perform close to home,” Fisher said.
She wanted to find a way to provide those kids the w ith same chance that she had to perform onstage. A fter months of numerous phone calls, e- mails and sending out 3 0 0 fliers to
different schools, the idea o f Shining Stars Theater became a reality.
“Today, there are 10 very talented girls and boys, ages 8-12, all from Garden City, perform ing in the program,” Fisher said.
She said planning took months and she heads the next day back to college, where she is studying communications and creative writing.
H er mother, Michelle Fisher, is the producer.
The performers helped to w rite the play, the story of a young girl, Lily, who doesn’t believe in “happily ever afters.” She finds herself lost in the Kingdom of Grimridge, which is being ruled by the evil Lady M inerva. Lily befriends mermaids, elves and fireflies and learns about the horrible things being done to the kingdom. She must find the courage to stand up to Lady M inerva and, along w ith Prince Dylan and the rest of her friends, make the kingdom a better place for everyone.
“The Story o f Saving Grimridge is a fun-filled fa iry tale w ith lots of sing
ing, dancing and even sword-fighting,” Fisher said.
The fu ll cast has 10 performers: Bethany Stoddart as Lily, Em ily Proctor as Lady M inerva, Dominic Tomasi as Prince Dylan, Meghann Butchart as Mrs. Cobblestone,Riley Klauza as Aqua the M erm aid, A rianna Sawyer as Kayla the Elf, Alison Kindred as Spinz the Body Guard, Alyssa Griglio as M adam e Delia the Gypsy, Lucas Stoddart as the Messenger and Kennedy Klauza as Glow the Firefly.
Proctor, 12, said that she enjoys her role as Lady M inerva because her character gets to be in charge. Tomasi, 11, also like his role as Prince Dylan.
“He gets taken to the dungeon and has to find a way to get free,” he said.
Riley Klauza, 11, also plays M other Nature.
“I ’m friends w ith the fire fly and I help Lily solve her problems,” Klauza said.

The Inn at St. John’s in Plymouth Township provided a new home for visitors to the Concours d'Elegance Sunday.

This 1930 Packard 745 Sport Phaeton features its unique hood ornament.
This 1950 Lea Francis Sports Roadster, one of only 77 made, is owned by Tom Griffith of Verona, Wis., who enjoyed telling admirers about it during Sunday's Concours d'Elegance of America at The Inn at St. John’s.
woman agreed to part w ith it for $10,000, G riffith said. Ultim ately, he said, he had convinced her that he would do w hat her husband would have done — restore the car — and showed her examples of his previous restorations.
“She’s very pleased that she did sell me the car,” G riffith said.
Rust wasn’t an issue for the alum inum body on the Lea Francis, G riffith said, and the engine, w ith just 16,800 miles, needed little but hoses, clamps and a good cleaning.
“I just cleaned it up. That’s all I did,” G riffith said. W ith a new battery and fresh gas in the carburetor, it started right up, he said.
The roadster needed brakes and paint, and some parts needed to be rechromed, but the glass is original, and so is the upholstery, though it had been recovered by someone who apparently d idn’t like the original style, G riffith said.
The British man who had obtained the assets o f Lea Francis when the company failed in the 1960s helped G riffith by supplying needed parts.
G riffith , an executive at Badger Printing Systems, likes to take his vintage cars out.
“I go grocery shopping in this car,” he said. “I drive my cars. They don’t just sit and look pretty.”
GARAGE FINDRuger, o f New port, N .H .,
has had his Cadillac V-16 since
1995.“I t needed everything” but
“wasn’t a wreck,” said Ruger.“ I t w a s j u s t i n s o m e b o d y ’ s
g a r a g e , ” h e a d d e d
The Cadillac was restored by Fran Roxas, who has a restoration shop in the Chicago area (Roxas also restored this year’s domestic best-in-show winner, a 1933 Duesenberg SJ Riviera Phaeton).
The restored V-16 was ready for two Concours shows in 1998: one at Pebble Beach in California and the other at Meadow Brook H a ll in Rochester, where the Concours d ’Elegance o f Am erica was held for 32 years before being moved to The In n at St. John’s this year.
Ruger said he enjoyed his return to the Concours, and this year’s new venue. “I like it very much. I th in k it ’s an improvement because the hotel is right on the grounds,” he said.

Ruger & Co. Inc., Ruger has a collection o f about 30 cars. “There are also collections that are much bigger than that,” he said.
Other rare cars at the Concours included a 1966 Am erican Motors M arlin , w ith a 270-horsepower V-8 engine (only 4,547 made), a Germ an- built 1964 Amphicar, made to travel on land or water (3,878 made) and a 1948 Tucker (only 51 made).

O f the hundreds of classic and antique cars on display Sunday at
the Concours d ’Elegance of Am erica, two were among the rarest of their kind — even when new.
Tom G riffith ’s 1950 Lea Francis Sports Roadster, he says, was one of only six delivered to the U.S. from the manufacturer in Coventry, England, and one o f only 77 ever made. Rescued from a pig barn in Wisconsin, the model is the only one still on the road in the U.S., he said.

Nearby Sunday on the golf course at The In n at St. John’s was W illia m Ruger Jr. and his 1936 Cadillac 90 Series V- 16, a 6 ,0 0 0 -pound behemoth w ith , yes, a 16-cylinder engine and a “turre t top” body by Fleetwood, the famed automobile body specialists. Only 50 V -l6s were made annually between 1934 and 1937, said Ruger, and only 11 in the four- door sedan body style o f his car.
“Mechanically, i t ’s quite advanced” and also easy to drive, Ruger said.
PERSISTENCE PAYSG riffith , of Verona, Wis.,,is
partial to British sports cars; his collection also includes a 1949 Trium ph, a 1935 M G and a 1952 A llard . This year’s Concours was his first.
G riffith bought the Lea Francis about a year ago from a woman whose late husband had driven it. I t had sat in a pig barn, where many other vehicles owned by local residents were also stored, for more than three years, and the widow hung onto it for sentimental reasons, he said. The car had been in her husband’s fam ily for 57 years.

Gov. Rick Snyder recently announced the re-appoint- ment o f M adonna University’s Teresa Thompson to the Michigan Board o f Nursing.
The board was created to establish qualifications for nurse licensure, establish standards and approve nurse education programs; develop and implement criteria for continued competency; and take disciplinary action against licensees when the health, safety or welfare o f the public has been adversely affected.
“I believe it is im portant to give back to the profession and being part of the board offers a level o f service like no other,” Thompson said. “The regulatory process is an im portant one to protect the public and regulate the profession.” Thompson, o f Farmington
Hills , is the dean and professor at the College of Nursing and Health at M adonna University.
Thompson Thompsonearned a reg
istered nurse diploma from . the Good Sam aritan Hospital School o f Nursing in Ohio, both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nursing from Wayne State University and a doctorate from the Wayne State University College of Nursing. She represents registered professional nurses w ith a master’s degree engaged in nursing education in a baccalaureate or higher program.

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 fulltime. Sadly, the government denies approximately 60% of those who apply for disability benefits.
Attorneys J.B. Bieske and Jennifer Alfonsi have 42 years combined experience representing only Social Security disability clients. And they personally meet with all clients and appear personally at all court hearings. Many large firms assign 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 Alfonsi have vast experience before local Michigan judges.
Attorneys Bieske and Alfonsi
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 attorney Bieske has written a book
for attorneys about the subject and has been interviewed on various television programs. Both attorney Bieske and Alfonsi have also been interviewed on radio programs and have given speeches to many groups.
Attorneys Bieske and Alfonsi offer free phone or office consultation. If they
represent you, there will be no fee charged until after the case is won. The fee is a percentage of retroactive benefits.
Bieske and Alfonsi represent clients from all over the state of Michigan. Their Livonia office is on Six Mile Road just west of 1-275. Their Novi office is located on Haggerty 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.

W e are in the Livonia area on a daily basis serving Fresh Eats on the Streets! W e are available for numerous events including graduation parties, corporate lunches and events, tailgating, block parties, nightlife, sporting events, etc. Concrete Cuisine’s chefs can execute their eclectic menu for your party.What makes your business unique?
Unlike ordinary food trucks, we have a revolving menu w ith food that is cooked onsite to order. W e use fresh seasonal ingredients w ith Michigan
products whenever possible. W e specialize in fam iliar foods w ith a surprising tw ist.How did you first decide to open your own business?
The original concept for Concrete Cuisine started as “The Finer Diner.” W e planned on opening an upscale diner but quickly found that the cost associated w ith opening a full-scale restaurant was way beyond our means. A short tim e later we read an article in T im e Magazine about food trucks in L.A . and decided this was the route to go. We decided to take the same idea o f fam iliar food w ith an upscale tw ist, from a traditional restaurant setting, to the new trend sweeping across the nation. Thus the conception and realization o f an upscale food truck.How did you decide to locate in the Livonia area?
Having been longtime residents o f the Livonia area, we are both fam iliar w ith the city and have fam ily and friends in the area who have been extremely supportive of Concrete Cuisine from
day one. W e focus on serving Livonia and surrounding communities on a daily basis. The business’s m ailing address is in Plymouth; the truck is kept in Garden City.Do you have a funny tidbit or story to share with our readers about your experience so far as a small business owner?
Something funny: As first- tim e small business owners, w ith no employees, we quickly found that all of our culinary travels have begun all over again. W e are once again the - dishwashers, cooks, cleaners, etc. Something we’ve found to be interesting: most brick and m ortar restaurants begin to establish regular clientele who often visit their establishment over time. We have found this to also be true w ith Concrete Cuisine. W e th in k it is awesome that we have regular customers who come to dine w ith us even as our locations change.

Beetle maniaThe all-new 2012
Volkswagen Beetle features front and rear exterior lighting from Hella, including headlamps, fog lamps, front side markers, ta il lamps, rear reflex
reflectors and a center high- mounted L E D stop lamp.
Introduced earlier this year at the New York Auto Show, the U.S. version o f the new Beetle underlines Hella’s position as a major supplier of automotive lighting.
“H e lla ’s relationship w ith Volkswagen and the V W Beetle dates back to the firs t Beetle prototype in 1935 and the start o f mass production in 1945,” said Ignacio Moreno, CEO of H e lla ’s Lighting D ivision in the Americas.
Speaking at a recent press conference at Pine Lake Country Club in suburban Detroit, he noted that “the partnership has continued w ith Hella Lighting on a variety o f Beetle models over the years.”
H ella began development of its lighting programs for the new 2012 Beetle in 2009 . To develop the ta il lamps, members o f Hella’s engineering and product development staff in Plymouth, led a core design team located in Lippstadt, Germany. The headlamps were designed by H ella’s engineering team in the Czech Republic.
H e lla w ill be providing halogen and H ID versions of the headlam p for the A m erican and European m arkets. The halogen headlam p uses a standard re flecto r system using an H B 2 / H 4 bulb for high and low beam . The daytim e ru n n in g lam p and position lam p fu nctions are achieved by using one double fila m e n t bulb. Production o f the halogen version o f the headlam ps for the new Beetle started ea rlier th is year at H e lla ’s fac ility in M exico City.
Cindy Fletcher, who has run a State Farm insurance agency in Plymouth for many years, moved to a new location at 9295 Lilley Road.

So this summer, David Landsberg rides. A nd rides. And rides.
Landsberg, a kidney transplant recipient in 1999, recently rode his bike through the local area, including a trip down Hines Drive on day No. 24 o f his “Donors Rock Ride,” his quest to ride his bike 50 miles in 50 states in 50 days.
Landsberg was joined at the Cycle to Fitness bike shop on Farm ington Road in Livonia by six members o f the Racing Greyhounds riding club and Jennifer Tislerics, special events and partnerships coordinator o f the G ift o f Life Michigan. Tislerics said the ride was a “great opportunity to spread his message.”
Landsberg is riding his bike to educate the public and promote the need for registered organ, eye and tissue donors. More than 110,000 Americans are waiting for life-saving transplants.
Landsberg, who is partnering w ith Donate Life Am erica on his Donors Rock Ride, began the ride July 4, the anniversary date Landsberg received his life-saving kidney from a 6-year-old boy.
“I f there are no donors, there are no recipients,” Landsberg said.
Landsberg, o f Dallas, Texas, was born w ith polycystic kidney disease, a progressive degenerative disease that leads to renal failure, he said.
Both kidneys and his spleen were removed in 1998. He was on dialysis three days a week, four hours a day and, he said, he “watched a lot o f people die.”
“W hen you’re sick, you start defining yourself by w hat’s happening in your life,” Landsberg said. “I would say I was a dialysis patient. Then one day I saw K irk Douglas

grateful for what I had versus w hat I didn’t have.”
Landsberg, founder o f the Society for Organ Donor Awareness, calls July 4 his “Independence from Dialysis Day.” He kicked o ff the ride in Austin, Texas, that day and w ill conclude it Aug. 23 in Oklahom a City.
H is mission is also to register new donors in every state.
Landsberg said he feels
“fantastic” and is thankfu l and grateful for the fam ily who gave him his opportunity to live w ith the donated kidney.
Bike riding is “pretty grueling,” doing the 50 miles day after day, he said.
“I want to get people’s attention to what I ’m doing and open up dialogue to the whole donor process,” Landsberg said.
Landsberg has ridden his Specialized Roubaix bike 1,200 miles as o f Wednesday. W hen he finishes in August, Landsberg w ill have ridden 2 ,6 00 miles. He added two more cities to bring the total number to 52 on the ride.
Anyone who wishes to jo in the Donor Registry can do so at w ww.giftoflifem ichigan. org, by calling (800) 482-4881 or by visiting any Secretary of State branch office. Michigan residents who jo in the Donor Registry receive a red heart donor emblem for the front o f their license or state ID card so they know they are fu lly registered.

L isa Abbey, L ivonia’s finance chief, said she believes Plymouth-Canton would offer healthier and tastier food, get students through lines more quickly and increase participation by 20 percent, which would generate more revenue in the food services budget.
She said even though the districts are s im ilar in size, 1 0 ,0 0 0 students purchase lunch a t P lym o u th -C an to n schools compared w ith 4 ,0 0 0 at L ivon ia schools.

LETTERSColbeck has worked hard
In his first few months in office, our new state senator, Pat Colbeck, has worked hard for us and has performed well. During this short time, Pat has:
• Fought any and all new taxes• Improved the climate for businesses
to create jobs by helping to replace the onerous Michigan Business Tax and by pushing to eliminate government impedi ments to economic development.
• Promoted health savings accounts
and pushed for Michigan to opt out of nationalized health care, leaving health decisions between the doctor and patient, not federal bureaucrats
• Assisted in the timely creation of a balanced state budget - eliminating a
huge projected deficit.• Worked to refocus our education sys
tem on results.• Promoted true transparency from
our government.• Labored to ensure that our
Constitution is upheld in every government decision.
After years of decline, our state is beginning to get back on the path to
prosperity. Keep up the good work, Pat.Tom Marchesano

the Observer allows guest writers to mbke things up?
In his opinion article "District needs
merit-based pay scale" Mr. Zaksek claims the average teacher compensation with benefits is over $107,000. That number is, simply put, a lie. The starting salary of a teacher in our district is under $40,000 and with benefits of $17,000 (Mr. Zaksek's number) that brings it to $57,000.
Last year, PCCS hired more than 100 new teachers, equal to almost 10 percent of the total number. In addition, almost 25 percent of teachers have five or less
years of experience. With that many
teachers at the low end of the pay scale,I find it difficult to figure out how the average is $107,000. Maybe the very top of the scale comes close to his number, but certainly not the average.
Now that we've seen that the numbers
don't add up, let's take a look at the actual argument of his opinion piece: merit-based pay for teachers.
In the first and only scientifically rigorous test of merit pay for teachers, conducted from 2006-09 by Vanderbilt University in partnership with the RAND Corp., it was found that merit pay had no impact on student achievement or test scores. Let me repeat: NO IMPACT ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT OR TEST SCORES. These are the facts.
As a teacher, I work my hardest each and every day to reach all of my students. I take master's level classes. I attend subject matter workshops. I read about current pedagogical research. This is what improves teaching, not some subjective merit-based system that has been shown doesn't work.
People are entitled to their own,opinions, but not to their own facts. I am disappointed the Observer printed Mr. Zaksek's misinformation or, as someone who doesn't like to use euphemisms would call it, his lies.

District one step closer to bankruptcyB Y M I C H A E L M A L O N E Y
G U E S T C O L U M N I S T
W ithout much fanfare, our PCCS Board o f Education took the distric t one step closer to an emer
gency financial manager at the end of June.
By a 7-0 vote, it approved a budget for the 2011-12 school year. Most of the audience was stunned when interim Supt. Jeremy Hughes recommended the board reject approximately $10 million in cuts suggest
ed by the administration. Then our elected representatives adopted a spending plan that exceeds revenue by approximately $20 million.
Twelve months from now, using the district’s own assumptions, P-C schools w ill be left with
MaloneV........ — only $70,000 in the fundbalance. The “school
crowd” has made the argument for years no school district should carry a fund balance, and that the existence of positive fund equity was a license to spend without limit. I disagree with the analogy that the fund balance should be considered a “rainy day fund.” A fund balance is similar to the working capital account of a commercial business. As any business owner knows, cash is required to fund day-to-day operations and keep the business going at those times when revenue doesn’t come in exactly when it’s needed.
Operating with a low fund balance adds terrible risk to daily operation of a school district. Since large districts like ours are primarily self-insured against disaster, a small fhnd balance also means should a tornado or other disaster strike one of our buildings, without a fund balance, we would not have the money to make repairs. This is an irresponsible position for any significant entity. Our kids deserve better.
The recurring problem of spending beyond our income actually gets compounded next year. The deficit for 2012-13 will be about $26 million. I f that doesn’t concern you, consider this: Many of the assumptions made by the district in the budget are soft, and the problems may actually be significantly worse than stated.
For those of you who think that Lansing either caused this problem, or is likely to come in and save us, it would take approximately a $l,400-per-student increase to fill the gap next year. Even the most optimistic board member can see the folly in believing that even if Lansing had the desire, it does not have enough money.
O f the $26 million deficit, about $4 m illion is attributable to “Lansing” and the rest to chronic increases over the past 15 years that were never addressed. Even i f Lansing had the money, why would officials give it to a district which, like Detroit, completely failed to heed the warning signs or plan for the future? In the past seven years, the gap between revenue and spending has continually gotten worse and as result, our fund balance has continually gotten smaller.
As I try to make sense of our predica
ment, I can only come to one logical conclusion (assuming this board is behaving logically). I believe the PCCS Board of Education has calculated that rather than make changes to its spending behavior (and the inevitable political heartburn), it purposely intends to bankrupt the school district in 2012, and create an “Us vs. Lansing” conflict, daring the governor to either cough up the extra $26 million, or install an emergency financial manager and take over the district entirely. This would allow the board to “Blame Lansing.” The school crowd believes Gov. Snyder simply won’t allow a large suburban district like Plymouth-Canton to go bankrupt.
Our ship has hit the iceberg, but rather than plug the hole, our board chooses to listen to the music and enjoy the caviar, while the ship sinks. A ll seven board members should be profoundly ashamed. I f they lack the courage to act, they should resign.
I am challenging the seven school board members to make a public statement and deny that this is their strategy, and if I am mistaken regarding their motive, tell us specifically what the strategy for success is. The public deserves to know i f the board is choosing to gamble with the future of our children. I f they choose not to provide detailed plans, we should all assume that my assertion is 100-percent on target.

with grilled salads, fish, steak
Grilling can bring so much more to the table than basic brats and burgers. In these recipes, cookbook author and celebrity chef Nick Stellino uses a few key ingredients that add new dimensions of flavor to seafood, steak
and even salad. He calls on olive oil and vinegars from Pompeian to make savory marinades and zesty seasonings that will make you truly savor the grilling season.
Olive oil, a key component of the Mediterranean Diet, is a great way to follow the 2010 USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which urge people to cut back on saturated fats and recommend an increase in mono- unsaturated fats.

NICK STELLINO'S GRILLING TIPS• Grease grates of grill with Pompeian Extra Light Tasting Olive Oil before heating.• Pre-heat barbecue with cover down (high for gas) for 15 minutes.• Never cook fish or seafood over direct heat on a grill (gas or coals), because it scorches the exterior while leaving the interior undercooked. Shut down half of gas grill (or move coals from one half of grill to the other side) and put fish/shrimp on cool side of grill. Cover grill to cook.

Alarm can be good investment, but shop around Land useThe summer months are the per
fect time for a vacation getaway. Unfortunately, they are also the perfect time for a home robbery. According to the FBI, July and August have the highest rates of burglaries. Better Business Bureau is advising homeowners, who are looking to secure their property this summer, to do their research when picking a home security system.
According to an Academic Study of Home and Business Security by Temple University, the Electronic Security Association says that homes without security systems are about 3 times more likely to be broken into than homes with security systems. (Actual statistic ranges from 2.2 times to 3.1 times, depending on the value of the home.) Losses due to burglary average $400 less in residences with security systems than homes without alarm systems.
Although no system makes your home completely burglar-proof, a home security system can reduce your chances of being burglarized and give you some peace of mind. In 2010, BBB received nearly 25,000 inquiries from customers asking about burglar alarm systems.
“It’s important to investigate the purchase of a home security system with the same care you would any major purchase,” said Patrick Bennett, director of Community Relations of the Better Business Bureau Serving Eastern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. “There are too many door-to-door salespeople selling home security systems out there that don’t always have your best interest at heart.”
BBB advises consumers to do the following when looking to invest in a home security system:
•Choose a professional installer. The best home security system will accommodate your lifestyle and specific valuables you want protected. Carefully consider your security requirements and budget. You may also get recommendation from tfie insurance company that covers your home. Deal only with reputable firms and check out the company with BBB first.
•Contact at least three companies before selecting an installer. Find out if they are properly licensed in your state
and if they screen employees before hiring. Make sure to check with the ESA website for a list of member companies throughout the United States who have agreed to abide by the National Code of Ethics.
•Ask about all charges up front.Prices for home security systems will vary, based on the level of protection and type of technology used, so be sure to compare apples-to-apples bids on similar systems. Do not forget to factor in the initial installation charge, as well as monthly monitoring charges. Also, talk to your insurance agent; some systems may qualify you for a discount on homeowner’s premiums.
•Know the ins and outs of your contract. If your alarm system will be monitored, either by your installing company or by a third-party monitoring center, find out the length of the contract. Typically, monitoring contracts are between two to five years in length. What is your recourse if you are not satisfied with the services provided? Can you cancel the contract? What are your rights if your monitoring company is purchased or acquired by another alarm company? If the alarm sounds, does the company first notify you or the police? How soon? What happens if you can’t be reached? Does the company have a
local security patrol car? Are there costs for false alarms — and if so, who pays? What’s the early termination fee if you move? These are the types of questions you need to consider before you obligate yourself to a long-term contract.
•Insist that the installer “walk” you through your system until you fully understand how it works. This will prevent the most common problem: false alarms. False alarms are an indicator of the quality of the alarm installation and user education. Ask for a complete inspection of your property and an itemized written estimate. Review the sales contract closely to ensure you understand exactly what equipment and protection you will be provided.
•Beware of “Door Knockers.” The BBB has received reports of “high pressure and fear selling practices” from door-to-door Home Alarm System salespeople. These salespeople were citing false police reports of recent burglaries that had not happened or are making claims that the resident’s current alarm provider has gone out of business. Some home owners were misled into signing a contract for a new system, before canceling the contract on their existing system or they discovered that their current alarm provider was not out of business, resulting in their
having to pay for two different alarm systems at the same time.
Additional advice:•You do not have to let door-to-door
salespeople into your home.•If you are not interested, say “good
bye” and shut the door.•Individuals should provide creden
tials and identification.•They should be able to display proof
of a city-provided neighborhood solicitation permit.
•Ask if the company is local, regional, or national!
•Do not be misled by false police reports.
•Do not be pressured into signing a contract — if the deal is good today it will be good tomorrow. Beware of claims of “limited offers” and that the company is ready to immediately install the system. Reputable companies let you compare bids and engage in a comprehensive review of your security needs.
•Be sure to completely read and understand any contract before signing, and remember your FTC, “right to cancel” a contract within 72 hours since it is signed at your home.

Study resultsResults from the J.D. Power and
Associates 2011 Home Buyer/Seller StudySM, recognize RE/MAX for providing the highest overall consumer satisfaction for both home buyers and home sellers. In last year’s study, two different companies ranked the highest in each category, but this year home buyers and sellers both rated RE/MAX the highest.
“It all comes down to professionalism and a commitment to a premier level of customer service,” said RE/MAX Chairman and co-founder Dave Liniger. “Because RE/MAX agents average more experience and training than other agents, they are better prepared to deal with home buyers and sellers in any kind of market. And, consumer preferences
tell the story ... nobody sells more real estate than RE/MAX.”
This is the fourth annual study of home buyer and seller satisfaction with the largest national real estate companies, conducted by J.D. Power and Associates. For the home buying experience, three factors were considered: agent/salesperson, office and a variety of additional services. Four factors were examined for the home-selling experience: agent/ salesperson, marketing, office and a variety of additional services.

claims based
on factsQ : I will t r y to give you factual scenario o f my problem . A and B owned adjoining w aterfro nt lots which were originally part of a larger parcel subdivided by A's grandm other. A fte r subdividing, the members o f the A fam ily regularly used a short path across what became B's lot to visit each o ther and to get to a beach and boat mooring area.No one in the fam ily ever asked for or received permission from any o ther fam ily member to use the short path. When B acquired the ir lot later, it was the firs t tra n s fe r o f any part of the original parcel out of A’s fam ily. Now, B is claiming that A has no right to use the short path across the ir land.A is saying th a t the y have a prescriptive easement which requires continuous use fo r at least a number o f years under claim o f right adverse to B . Who
do you think will win?
A:Ordinarily, when a claimant offers proof of continuous use with the owner’s knowledge,
a presumption arises that the use of the land in order to obtain a prescriptive easement was hostile and under a claim of right which are requirements to establish a prescriptive easement. However, some courts have held that that presumption does not arise if the putative dominant and servient estates were owned within the same family during the period when the prescriptive acts occurred. In such cases, the courts have held that the comings and goings of family members, across property owned within the family, are by accommodation or permission and do not have the requisite adversity to support an imposition of a prescriptive easement by one family member upon another.The chances are A’s claim will fail because she cannot offer affirmative proof of hostility, but each case depends upon its particular facts.
Q : Do you have any in fo rm atio n on the s ta tu s of residential co n stru ction and the costs of residential co n s tru c tio n in Hong Kong?
A: Hong Kong is a highly densely populated city and depending upon the location, construction costs, as well as purchase costs, can be as high as New York or Paris and, in some instances, higher.The closer you are to the water, the more expensive the property is. If you are on a mountain top or a drive leading up to the mountain, the homes and/ or apartments can cost over a million dollars for a one or two bedroom unit of less than 1,000 square feet.

Fun By The Numbers
Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!
Level: Beginner
Here’s How It Works:Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

QUICK GRILLING TIPS• When cooking chicken outdoors, keep it refrigerated until ready to cook. Do not place cooked chicken on same plate used to transport raw chicken to grill.• Keep food from sticking to the grate by rubbing with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray.• Keep a spray bottle filled with water close by so that you can spray down flare-ups, which can blacken your food.For more tips and recipes, visit www.eatchicken.org.
