The cold temperatures

are preventing the city

from being polite and
passing the salt.
We cant do that. We
need to guard what we
have, City manager Phil
Ludos said, explaining
the city has had to turn
down requests from area
school districts for addi-
tional salt, as its supply is
dwindling.
We cant anticipate
this kind of season and
we dont have adequate
storage, Ludos said of
the citys supply of salt to
spread on its 250 miles of
roadways.
Sure, theres more to
be had, but the cost will
increase due to transpor-
tation costs, Ludos said.
If Mother Nature is
kind in the coming cou-
ple months, the storage
pile should make it
through this tough sea-
son, he said
As this proceeds for-
ward, if this (bad weath-
er) pushes into March or
April or if we are hit with
a few big ones the city
may run out, Ludos said.
He explained the city
purchases salt in the
summer during the high
mining season.
We buy in large quan-
tities and get a pretty
good deal on it, he said.
St. Clair Shores has
company in its supply is-
sues and rising personnel
costs due to the deep
freeze and higher than
average snow falls this
season.
Like any other city
overtime has increased,

Weve got a whole weekend of lots
of fun and lots of food, Aquafreeze
Festival Co-Chair Geri Hofmann said
of the Feb. 21 through Feb. 23 inaugu-
ral event at Wahby and Blossom Heath
parks.
In the planning stages for almost one
year, Hofmann and Co-chair Linda
Bologna have been working diligently
along with a band of volunteers to orga-
nize the festival they hope becomes a
premier signature Michigan winter
event.
Hours are Friday from 5 to 9 p.m.;
Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and
Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Hofmann said area organizations
have stepped up to sponsor events and
civic organizations, and local cub scout
groups have agreed to do everything
from cleaning up the site each evening
to planning a pancake breakfast
Saturday, Feb. 22, at the VFW Bruce
post.
These are two of the hardest work-
ing women right here, said former city
councilman David Rubello whose in
charge of planning the musical enter-
tainment.
We need to get people over to the
event, he said. Theres not a better
event going on in the entire state of
Michigan. I have attended other events
and they have nothing on us.
The event, planned with an Olympic
Village theme, kicks off Friday, Feb. 21
with a torch run beginning at Buffalo
Wild Wings. Hofmann said the
Lakeview High School band enertains
with patriotic and pop music as run-
ners begin the race which heads down
9 Mile from Buffalo Wild Wings to 9
Mack drive and around back to 9 Mile
and down to Jefferson to Wahby Park.
An ice carving of an olympic torch will
be lit by Mayor Kip Walby, officially
opening the festivities.
The Lakeshore High School band
will be set up at the park to entertain
guests and Miss St. Clair Shores
Morgan Stocker sings the national an-
them.
Various activities are planned
throughout Wahby and Blossom Heath
parks, from Jefferson to the waters
edge and a large warm-up tent where
beer and wine are served is planned to
keep patrons warm.
Each day is also designated as an
alumni night for schools beginning
with Lakeview, St Isaac Jogues, St.
Germaine, St. Gertrude and St. Angela
Friday; South Lake and St. Joan of Arc
Saturday; and St. Margaret and
Lakeshore Sunday.
Saturday night is also teen night.

With his first fiscal year budget before him, City
Manager Phil Ludos is predicting the city will continue
to operate as if it was 2013 with few if any depart-
ment budget increases.
However, some may see capital improvements added
to their inventories. Any pay increases, Ludos said, will
only be made if necessitated by union contract negotia-
tions.
Essentially, the department heads were directed to
look forward to the future with their existing budget,
Ludos said. They are also in the process of compiling a
list of capital needs.
Those capital needs requests are on the agenda for
the upcoming March 1 city council budget study ses-
sion, Ludos said.
I am anticipating the city, as a result of the audit, is in
very good financial sitting. The goal is to continue that
way as a city and operate as if you have no changes in
your budget and no increases other than capital and la-
bor contracted costs, he said. Thats kind of how Im
operating.
Ludos is expecting department heads will have their
budgets completed by the end of March. After receiving
them, Ludos said he will review them and make any
cuts he sees fit before sending the document off to city
council for its review and debate.
The city council can then make any changes mem-
bers deem necessary.
With a proposed budget in hand, as required by law,
public hearings will be held to get resident input before
the budget is officially adopted by council. By law the
city has until June 30 to adopt a balanced budget.

Antique appraisers coming to library
By John McTaggart
Staff Writer
The Antique Roadshow is among the most popular television
programs in the country.
The premise is simple regular people bring antiques to a spec-
ified location where experts in the field look over and appraise the
items.
Its wildly popular for many reasons, including the allure of hav-
ing a treasure in the attic or even finding a priceless work of art at
a yard sale.
Well, St. Clair Shores residents now have the opportunity for a
similar experience thanks to the Pettipointe Questers NO. 243 of
Grosse Pointe and DuMouchelle, the Midwests largest auction
house.
The group is sponsoring antique appraisals by DuMouchelle at
the St. Clair Shores Public Library from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday

Works budget. Theres

and making it work,
Ludos said.
In response to ques-
tions from residents if the
city will re-plow the side
streets once the snow be-
gins to melt and becomes
slushy, Ludos said the ice
under the snow is the
problem. It has to get re-
al slushy and where do
you push it? We already
have piles 5 to 6 feet tall.
However, he does plan
to discuss with Babcock
the possibility of sending
workers to clear the
street drains to reduce
the amount of water on
the streets apt to freeze
and thaw.
Manpower and other
things are going to come
into play, Ludos said.

just to watch, not to par-

It was crazy, she said.
They dress up in crazy
outfits and they go out
there. Its just crazy.
Unlike other plunges,
the one in St. Clair

running from the beach
into the water, Hofmann
explained, adding theres
no diving into the water

Kay VanDeGraaf, one

event has few limitations
and is open to everyone.
There really isnt any
guidelines other than the
item should be an antique
or old, VanDeGraaf said.
There, they will be given
a verbal appraisal on the
item, nothing written and
that should be noted, too.
Admission for the event
is $10, which includes one
item appraisal. Additional
items, with a limit of two,
are $5 each for each item.
Timed tickets can be re-
served ahead of time by

Proceeds from the

The event is the first of
its kind in the city,
VanDeGraaf said, but
similar events have been
done in Grosse Pointe
Woods and other loca-
tions.
It was a successful
event there, she said.
We probably had 200-
300 people. We really
dont know what to ex-
pect here though. But if
people call and we see
that we are getting a lot of
calls they will add more
appraisers. There are two
coming there right now,
but more can be added.

Know Your Skin

Tough we ofen joke about
it, there are people who really
are allergic to winter.
Winter itch, or cold urticaria
as it is more correctly called, is
caused by the skins allergy to
cold temperature. Upon ex-
posure to cold temperatures,
skin swells up, turns red and
can feel like it is burning or
itching. Tis happens because
the skin, trying to defend it-
self against the cold, produces
histamines. For most, these
hives only appear on the areas
exposed to the cold. In more
severe outbreaks, hives can
spread over the entire body,
producing enough histamine
to cause patients to faint or be-
come quite ill.
Outbreaks of cold urticaria
usually subside once the skin
becomes warm. Over the
counter oral antihistamines
are ofen helpful to relieve the
symptoms. If you are prone to
winter itch, taking antihista-
mines before exposure to the
cold can limit the potential for
hives to appear.
In severe cases, oral or topi-
cal steroids my be required to
relieve symptoms. In addition,
cold urticaria may indicate the
presence of underlying diseas-
es, for which your physician
my recommend lab tests.
To learn more about the care
of cold urticaria, contact your
dermatologist, or call us at

Manz-Dulac and Associates.

With the idea floating
about for a few years, an
Alumni Garden at
Lakeview High School is
now on the fast-track to
reality
The idea is a project
that incorporates some
of the gifts from past
classes at the high
school, Superintendent
Karl Paulson said.
For example, the
class of 1959, back in
1959, bought a sign for
the front. It was a brick
structure that had the
removable letters.
We had to remove
that, though, when we
built the auxiliary gym
in 2010. We didnt want
that to be lost by the
wayside, so we incorpo-
rated in our thinking
that there was a way for
us to work (it) into sort
of a grand entrance over
on the east side of the
high school campus.
Paulson said garden
will infuse landscape
features as well as gifts
from the past into a pic-
turesque garden-type
structure.
Brick pavers with ded-
ications and acknowl-
edgments, along with a
Welcome to Lakeview,
sign are all part of the
project.
As you come down 11
Mile, and as you glance
to the right, he said. It
would be very clear that
this is Lakeview Huskies
country. Thats the
idea.
Paulson said the dis-
trict sought bids for a
variety of district proj-
ects, including the
Alumni Garden.
A few months ago we
went through the pro-
cess of bidding-out sev-
eral jobs that were of in-
terest, he said. We
werent sure whether
the pricing was going to
be right. The package as
a whole came back and
pricing was through the
roof. So the price was
wrong.
That sparked another
plan.
Could we work this
into a volunteer project?
Can we organize volun-
teers without costs to
the district? Can we do
this and recognize al-
um, and make this a
community-based proj-
ect?, Paulson said.
A steering committee
is now in place and will
meet shortly, Paulson
said.
We have a conceptu-
al sketch already, he
said. Weve got the
drawings and specs al-
ready done.
Paulson said the dis-
trict is actively seeking
alumni to help with the
project, including con-
tractors and other
skilled laborers.
When we really get
to it, were going to do it
and its going to be ex-
ceptional, Paulson
said. Its going to be
something to really cel-
ebrate because it is part
of what keeps commu-
nity.
Paulson said recent
graduating classes have
donated funds toward
the project to help get it
off the ground.
We have lots of folks
who graduated from
Lakeview and still live
in the district, he said.
Im optimistic about
what were going to be
able to do and its going
to have quality. People
who are talking about
this are people who
have pretty high expec-
tations and demands of
themselves.
The nature of this
project is something
that we want people to
be proud of it.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2014 ST. CLAIR SHORES CONNECTION 3A
With a few more weeks
to go until the grand
opening, City Manager
Phil Ludos is confident
the city will come within
the approved $3.2 million
budget for the new court-
house.
From the looks of ev-
erything, overruns are
within the 3 percent bud-
geted (in contingency),
Ludos said last week.
But since its not done,
there may be additional
costs, he added. Were
pretty much tracking at
the point of being within
the budget.
City officials are still
eyeing a late March open-
ing,
The contingency bud-
get was $93,495, accord-
ing to figures provided by
the city in October when
the new courthouse was
projected to be completed
in late December.
The budget for con-
struction, including con-
tingencies, is $3,209,986.
Also included in the bud-
get are additional costs
for furniture ($150,000),
architect fees ($168,000),
moving costs ($12,000)
and rent for space at the
temporary courthouse at
the defunct St. Gertrude
school ($60,000).
This brings the total
cost for the project, not in-
cluding the bond fees, to
$3,599,985. The bond fees
were projected at an addi-
tional $82,015. This
brings the grand total to
$3,682,000.
As of October, $11,556
remained in the contin-
gency account, which also
received a boost of
$20,000.
When the project first
received city council ap-
proval, at the suggestion
of former City Manager
Ben Hughes, council ap-
proved setting aside
$20,000 contractors said
theyd need to start the
project in the colder
months.
The project didnt get
off the ground until
spring and the money
was tucked into contin-
gency.

LV Alumni Garden sprouting interest
PHOTO PROVIDED BY LAKEVIEW PUBLIC SCHOOLS
This artists rendering of the Alumni Garden gives a glimpse into what the finished project might look like.
City council is very
close to entering the 21st
century now that home-
based businesses are
centimeters from be-
coming acceptable un-
der a revised ordinance.
And until the final
wording is approved by
council, those operating
such businesses are cov-
ered under a moratori-
um and safe from the
city enforcing the cur-
rent ordinance.
The issue came before
council via a series of
complaints from resi-
dents cited for violating
the current ordinance. It
was extensively dis-
cussed at a January
study session and
brought back to council
Feb. 3 for more discus-
sion and action.
In an unanimous vote,
council approved the
new ordinance with mi-
nor revisions coming
from City Attorney
Robert Ihrie.
Ihrie told council the
ordinance which he said
was a canibalization of
ordinances in other cit-
ies, basically recogniz-
es, to some extent, what
is already occurring, but
at the time is illegal in St.
Clair Shores.
Meeting the ordinance
requirements are rela-
tively simple, Ihrie
said, explaining a home
business in a singe fami-
ly residential house is al-
lowed as long as can be
completely carried on
inside the building with-
out any external signs,
displays or evidence
such as noise, odor, un-
sanitary conditions,
light, additional traffic
and parking. In addi-
tion, no mechanical or
electrical equipment or
the direct sale of prod-
ucts and no storage of
items if visible from out-
side of the building are
allowed.
A permit is not re-
quired, he added.
The only persons al-
lowed to participate in
the business at the
house are the homeown-
ers, however, other em-
ployees can work for the
business from their own
houses, Ihrie said.
While Ihries pro-
posed ordinance states
owners of a home-based
business cannot make
any interior or exterior
renovations to their
house, council wants
that verbiage struck.
I dont want to be in
the position to tell them
they cannot put on an
addition if they have a
business, Councilman
Ron Frederick said. I
dont want to discourage
someone from putting a
family room on if they
have a business in the
house.
Frederick also sug-
gested promoting the re-
vised ordinance may be
a marketing tool for the
city.
Maybe theres a way
to attract home-based
businesses, he said.
Were a progressive
community responding
to the service-oriented
society that we live in to-
day.
Councilman Chris
Vitale questioned the
parking situation.
If I own a business,
landscaping for exam-
ple, and I own two
trucks and my wife has
car and I have a car,
pretty soon Im out of
parking spaces. The city
can grant permits if the
address is same on the
(vehicle) registration.
How would we make
sure this person wasnt
using the street to park
their vehicle overnight?
Ihrie said residents
are already doing that
now whether they have
or not have a business.
Vitale requested the
ordinance be amended
to disallow commercial
vehicles used for the
home-based business
from being parked in the
street, permit or not.
Council is expected to
review the verbiage at a
future meeting.
Home-based businesses
covered under ordinance

Finding a spot at
Wallys Frozen Custard
should be easier when
the weather is enticing
enough to want a frozen
treat.
Owner Matt Ahern re-
ceived permission to re-
zone a residential prop-
erty behind his place of
business on Harper and
approval to add an ac-
cessory building and ad-
ditional parking on the
site.
We need some room,
its pretty congested,
Ahern told council.
Our business is ex-
panding more than an-
ticipated, which is a
good thing.
Ahern said patrons
were parking in the lot
by the nearby dentists
office and down the
street.
I dont want to make
any neighbor mad, be it
a business or a resi-
dent, he said, adding
vehicles are larger now
and are having a hard
time exiting the lot.
The accessory build-
ing is needed, he said,
because his catering
business is expanding
and he needs room to
park the catering
trucks.
To build on the north
side of the property
would mean losing the
outdoor patio an op-
tion Ahern said he
didnt want to pursue.
Ahern said the prop-
erty owner on Elizabeth
approached him about
the sale.
She wants to move
near the grand kids in
Grand Rapids, he said.
Councilman John
Caron asked why the
city doesnt rezone the
parcel to business in-
stead of parking be-
cause of the addition of
the accessory building

Inspection Director
Chris Rayes said that is
not allowable under the
ordinance and Ahern
still has to get permis-
sion from the Zoning
Board of Appeals to pro-
ceed with his plans.
Ahern is also asking
the city to consider al-
lowing him to forego a
wall along his new prop-
erty and use arborvitae
or other plantings as a
border.
We want it to be part
of the community, he
said. We want it to be
residential and open it
to the neighborhood.
Ahern also has to
move the driveway back
and left turns will still
not be allowed out of
the lot.
The new building fa-
ade will match the cur-
rent structure, he said.

February Specials!

n 2013, students at
Violet Elementary
raised more than
$28,000 for the
American Heart
Association.
This year, the students
raised upwards of $30,000
for the cause and all by
jumping rope as part of the
AHAs Jump Rope for
Heart event.
Im so proud of these
kids. What they do here is
truly amazing, said Lisa
Pecoraro, the schools
physical education teach-
er. Last year we were the
No. 1 school in the state in
terms of money raised, so
theres a lot to live up to
this year. But, it looks like
theyre going to surpass
last years total.
Grade by grade, stu-
dents at Violet shuffled in-
to the school gym, jumped
roped with classmates,
laughed with friends and
learned the importance of
heart health and healthy
living.
The entire school was
decked out in red and in
the gym, heart-shaped cut-
outs bearing the names of
loved ones, friends or rela-
tives that students dedicat-
ed their jumping to that
day.
I really like jumping
rope for this, said Violet
third-grade student
Kalena McKenchnie. Its
a fun day and we collect a
lot of money to help.
Along with raising mon-
ey through donations, stu-
dents can also earn Violet-
only perks such as a limo
ride home from school,
and lunch out with
Pecoraro, and, perhaps the
most coveted reward of all
rubber duckies, which
are given out by the AHA.
The ducks have really
become something special
here, Pecoraro said.
Each different duck sym-
bolizes something. A dif-
ference duck is given out
for each level of amount of
money raised, for exam-
ple.
Every duck has a differ-
ent designation, said
Michele Niklas, part of the
schools Parent-Teacher
Club and a volunteer help-
ing out with the event and
the ducks. The students
start collecting them right
after Christmas break and
they can get a new duck as
they collect more dona-
tions. It really is crazy
what these kids are able to
do here for this event.
Its an event that truly is
a focal point for students,
Pecoraro said.
The way that I do it is
that its a one-day celebra-
tion and its school-wide,
she said. Some kids start
to raise money at the be-
ginning of the year by re-
turning pop cans and
things like that. But right
before Christmas break,
we really start and then in
January its in full swing.
All the efforts come to-
gether on Jump Rope for
Heart Day, Pecoraro said.
It all culminated today,
she said, surrounded by
jump-roping students.
Today is it. Its the cele-
bration of heart-healthy
exercising of jump rope,
everything Ive taught
them about it to this point,
and, of course, some
whacky-fun stuff, too.
The Violet Elementary
parents deserve so much
credit, Niklas said.
Theyre just so generous
and so encouraging. Its
great to be a part of this. It
makes me very proud.

The Language! pro-
gram implemented at
Lakeview Public Schools
addresses an important is-
sue, according to
Christine Brown, the dis-
tricts Executive Director
of Student Services.
The program is aimed
at students throughout
the district who might
need intervention to bring
reading, writing and liter-
acy skills up to their cur-
rent grade level.
We recognized that our
reading scores were still
not where we wanted
them to be, Brown said.
Everybody should at
least be at a proficient lev-
el. We recognize the fact
though, that some stu-
dents might take longer to
learn. Some students
need information present-
ed differently for them to
learn, and some students
enter our system at all dif-
ferent points.
These factors were all
tossed into the mix and a
search for a solution re-
sulted in the formation of
the Language! program.
We had to come up
with other ways to ad-
dress this, Brown said.
Our classroom instruc-
tion is obviously still hap-
pening, but if a child is be-
hind, its extremely hard
to differentiate and give
them extra time within the
classroom setting with
one teacher. So, we ex-
panded our intervention
to include the Language!
program.
What makes the
Language! program both
unique and a perfect fit at
Lakeview is simple,
Brown said.
We did a lot of re-
search, she said. And we
decided on this program
because the curriculum is
third grade through 12th
grade, and thats impor-
tant because the
Language! program is a
very explicit instructional
program. It attempts to
backfill all the skills that a
child might have holes or
gaps in, and what the pro-
gram does is take them
back and fills in any areas

I
m Keith Meadows, owner and operator of American
Power Vac, Inc. For years, Ive been improving our
communitys health one family at a time. By now
weve all heard the statistics: 50% of all illness is a direct
relation to dirty indoor air and our indoor air is up to 90
times more polluted than outdoor air. Yet, 90% of the calls
I receive everyday are from desperate people complaining
about dust. They tell me they dust the T.V. on Friday, but
by Sunday they are pushing the dust out of the way again
so they can watch Dancing
with the Stars, and none of
them know exactly where
its coming from. Well, Im
here to tell you that its
not because youre a bad
housekeeper, I tell people
that by simply having your
ducts cleaned will drastical-
ly reduce household dust,
and the reason is, your cold
air returns.
Cold air returns suck in
dirty air, and over time it
builds up until you have
the same type of debris
that you would nd in your
vacuum bag.
Visit our website at
www.americanpowervac.com
for an actual photo of the debris
that is pulled from a typical home.
Cold air returns are also the reason
new homeowners are experiencing
dust. While your drywall was being
sanded, your cold air returns sucked
all of the dust through the system and
it settled on the bottom of the duct
lines where a little at a time gets
blown back into your home. To prove
it, take a walk down into your base-
ment, look up at the ceiling for thin
sheets of tin nailed between your oor
joists. These are your cold air return
lines. Give them a good pounding.
Youll see puffs of dust seeping out
of the edges. That my friends, is the
reason you have uncontrollable dust
problems!
This debris cannot be removed
without a professional. Which brings
me to my next point: choosing an
air duct cleaning company. Most
companies use portable units, which
are like a shop vac that you would
vacuum your car with, obviously
absolutely useless. Then there are companies who claim
they have a truck-mounted system. In reality, they have a
low powered portable system attached inside a van, again,
absolutely useless. Visit our website for photos of our
equipment vs. portable or truck mounted equipment at
www.americanpowervac.com.
American Power Vac has the equipment that is powerful
enough to get the job done right and that equipment is a
Power Vac truck. It is the most powerful equipment in the
industry. This is where the entire truck is the vacuum and
the truck motor powers the equipment. Youll know its a
Power Vac truck because its the size of an ambulance and
when engaged twelve large
air bags will come out of
the roof. What makes the
difference in equipment?
Power! To put things into
perspective, your furnace
moves 2,000 CFMs (cubic
feet of air per minute), ba-
sically what you feel com-
ing out of your register.
Truck-mounted equipment
only moves 4,000 CFMs.
American Power Vac
moves over 16,000 cubic
feet of air per minute, more
than quadruple the power
of most competitors.
Beware of companies
using cheap equipment and
advertising cheap prices....most
are unlicensed or advertise that they
are licensed and are not!
Avoid Scams by not falling for
cheap get you in the door prices.
When asked what sets you apart
from your competitors Keith says
Honest service is number one,
equipment is number two. I know the
importance of being on time, working
with a smile, and respecting peoples
homes and their belongings. There
are a lot of duct cleaners around
but rest assured youll receive the
same Quality and Service we expect.
American Power Vac is family owned
and were here to help by offering a
Why All the Household Dust?
ADVERTORIAL
April and Keith Meadows help keep indoor air clean
with their local business, American Power Vac.
One of the best companies
I have ever had working in
my home. They were very
professional and I was very
satised with their workmanship
and clean up. I would hire your
company again in a heartbeat,
and would gladly spread the
word to family, friends and
neighbors. Great company
you have going.
C. Miller,

amazing. You are outstanding
in professional manner and

BEVERAGES
Almost anyone whose
lived in the St. Clair
Shores area, knows about
Connies Childrens Shop.
I love this place, said
Donna Schribner. I took
my kids here 30 years ago
and now Im here with my
granddaughter. There
isnt a finer group of peo-
ple and staff anywhere.
You come in here and you
feel important. And, you
buy something here and
you know youre getting a
good quality item, some-
thing that is going to last.
This loyalty, combined
with customer service
and merchandise has
been part of the formula
that has kept Connies in
business for decades.
The shop is celebrating
60 years in business this
year, and owner Denise
Kort has seen the business
evolve since her parents,
Maxine and Sidney Kort,
opened the doors March
4, 1954.
My parents were 20
years old when they
opened Connies, she
said. They figured the ar-
ea was in need of a chil-
drens clothing store so
they opened up Connies.
Thats pretty much how it
all started.
Since then, the shop has
been a staple in the com-
munity, supplying school
uniforms, Communion
dresses, boys and girls
clothing, childrens shoes
and other items.
Changes have certainly
occurred in the market
and at Connies, Kort said.
In the end, she believes
the secret to the shops
success and longevity is
easily explained.
Its a great loyal group
of customers and our ser-
vice, she said. Some
people still value the ser-
vice we give here. When
you walk into Connies,
youre going to be helped.
You dont get that many
places anymore.
Customer Glenda
Schmidt said she sees the
value in that.
I can come here and
shop for my kids and
know that someone who
cares is there to help me,
Schmidt said. Its clear
from the moment you
come inside. The staff
care about me and about
what they have here on
the racks. I cant image
going anyplace else.
We have a niche, Kort
said. We specialize in
things here that you might
not find other places.
Thats a part of it, too.
Its a real pleasure to be
able to do this, she said.
Ive been working here
since college and its real-
ly cool to see the moms
that I would help then,
come in now as grandmas
and the daughters and
sons are the moms and
dads. Its really nice and
Im really grateful.

that they might have missed out on.
Brown said the program is very age-appropriate also,
which aids in helping the students absorb the informa-
tion regardless of the grade level.
Were really trying to take hold of this issue, she
said. And trying to be proactive with our students. The
Language! program is one way we are doing this.
Brown said that the pilot program launched last year
had 318 students involved, while this years Language!
program has 293 students district wide.
Our hope is that we see a decrease at the high school
level as kids become better prepared at the levels before
that, Brown said. We want to address this issue while
the children are young if possible, then we want to re-
mediate and take care of it.
The Language! program is built into the school day,
Brown said.
We have a bigger focus here at Lakeview, she said.
We want our students to be college and career ready.
Without reading, its hard to do that. So, when you have
students who can read successfully, you open more
doors for that student, and give them the ability to take
advantage of more opportunities in the future.

How residents use their
five minutes to address
council is not being re-
flected in any detail in city
records.
Acting on resident Erin
St ahl s request ,
Councilwoman Candice
Rusie said she agreed the
minutes should be more
reflective of what each res-
ident had to say.
I would like to have a
few more details on what
they spoke about, Rusie
said. I would like more
detail on what they spent
their five minutes on.
When asked to address
Rusies concerns, City
Clerk Mary Kotowski said
downsizing in her depart-
ment has made keeping
up with the minutes of not
only councils, but other
committee meetings, very
difficult.
That takes a great deal
of time, Kotowski said,
adding detailing resident
comments doesnt have
to necessarily be a part of
the minutes.
We are trying to clean it
up and be a little more suc-
cinct and trying to balance
the workload, she said.
Stahl brought up the is-
sue prior to council voting
on the consent agenda
which included minutes
from the Dec.16 meeting
during which several resi-
dents spoke about the
shooting of Lexie, the pit-
bull mix, by police officers
after the dog allegedly
lunged at one of them.
I ask that they not be
approved until the record-
ing secretary puts back in-
to the minutes more infor-
mation from the resi-
dents, she said
There were some in-
credibly intelligent com-
ments, from residents,
she said, adding the min-
utes detail what former
Police Chief Mike
Walleman and council
members said.
We need to hold city
council and staff account-
able and make sure the de-
tailed information is there
for future information,
she said of residents com-
ments suggesting speak-
ers provide the recording
secretary a summary of
what they spoke about.
Councilman Tony Tiseo
asked how long video re-
cordings of the meetings
are kept on file.
The city keeps the mas-
ter; theres no guarantee
that 20 years from now
youre going to pull that
master, Communications
Director Mary Jane
DHerde said, adding the
tapes are available in the
library for one year.
Rusie was the sole nay
vote on a motion to ap-
prove the minutes.

SECTION B ST. CLAIR SHORES CONNECTION THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2014
I
n a 2014 Ford Focus ST, you can run. If your
Focus ST is triple-coated with a tangerine scream
paint job, you can run but you cant hide.
And you might not want to anyway, because
youll want to chat about your turbo-charged
wheels, show off the Recaro racing seats and run
through the smooth-shifting six-speed manual trans-
mission before anyone who stops to admire the pocket
rocket.
Ford has taken its immensely popular Focus and, for
starters, put its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder under
the hood. This all-aluminum engine, with a 252 horse-
power rating and 270 pound-feet of torque, is capable of
154 mph. The EcoBoost engine features direct fuel in-
jection, low-inertia turbocharging and twin indepen-
dent variable camshaft timing.
As for the six-speed manual, Ford said it has specially
revised gearing that promises a pop at each level. And it
delivers. If you are more interested in fuel economy
than performance, however, youll want to stick with
the non-turbo 2.0-liter four in the 2014 Focus. You will
suffer the consequence of losing that ST designation:
the 2.0-liter turbo-charged EcoBoost is its signature
and only engine.
The estimated fuel economy numbers for the hot en-
gine are 23 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway. In
our combined suburb/freeway driving, we were getting
just over 27 mpg, according to the Focus STs informa-
tion screen. The standard 2.0-liter four when matched
with a six-speed PowerShift automatic is capable of up
to 40 mpg highway, according to Ford statistics.
The base price of the 2014 Focus ST with six-speed
manual transmission is $24,115. This includes fog
lamps, a rear spoiler, 18-inch alloy wheels, full-size
spare tire, blacked-out grille, leather-wrapped steering
wheel and illuminated entry.
The ST2 package includes MyFord Touch and satel-
lite, Sirius, radio and dual zone electric air temperature
control. Its priced at $2,505.
Individual options for the Focus ST include a navi-
gation system, $795; 18-inch rado grey alloy wheels,
$375; and the tangerine scream tri-coat paint, $595.
King is an automotive writer who lives in the City of
Grosse Pointe.
