Eggenberger our top pickin school board election

Though the selectIOn of Plymouth-CantonCommumty Schools Board of Education VICePresident Mark Slavens as a Wayne County Judgehas thrown a monkey wrench mto the May 8 elec-tIOn, there are still obvIOusly qualified candidatesfor the two, four-year seats

We believe the best person to meet the chal-lenges a new board wIll face - mcludmg budgetIssues and a search for a new supenntendent - ISchallenger Nancy Eggenberger

The mcommg school board must wrangle Witha structural defiCit projected at some $75 million,a figure that could grow by leaps and bounds IfGov Jenmfer Granholm follows through on athreatened $125 cut m this year's fundmg

Meanwhile, Supermtendent Dr James Ryanwill retire, probably departmg the district notlong after the first of the year, leaVing the schoolboard With the monumental task of findmg some-one to fill his rather large shoes

Eggenberger has already shown a gift for lead-ership without havmg actually served on theboard She has co-chaued two bond committeesand she led the committee formed to make thetransitIOn process from middle school to life onthe huge high school campus smooth

Eggenberger IS famIliar With the Issues facmgthe district, she IS a critical thmker who Isn t

afraid to say unpopular thmgs, for mstance, shethmks a state tax mcrease might be the only wayout of MIChigan's economiC mess

While she hasn't participated m a supenntend-ent search, Eggenberger has worked closely Withadmmlstrators and board members and has defi-mte opmlOns on what the district needs She hasbeen one of the district's most dedicated support-ers, now she's earned the right to become one ofIts leaders

With Slavens out of the picture (he Said he'dresign at Thesday's board meetmg), another chal-lenger, Kurt Heise, warrants a mentIOn Heise,director of the department of enVironment forWayne County, IS new to the diStriCt, havmgmoved here last fall He has educated himself onthe Issues facmg the district and, perhaps moreImportantly, manages a budget that mirrors theschool district's m sIZe

We believe he (and perhaps the district) wouldbe better off If Heise set down stronger roots andbecome more knowledgeable about the districtbefore bemg handed a leadership pOSitIOn, buthe's certamly bUilt an Impressive resume

We believe Eggenberger has bUilt the kmd ofcredentials a school board member needs, and hername should be the first one checked by votersgomg to Thesday's polls

Breen, Broderick, and Fausoneour picks for Schoolcraft Board

In the Schoolcraft College diStriCt, voters Will fillthree positIOns on the Board of Trustees The can-didates mc1ude mcumbents Mary Breen andBrian Broderick, Joan Gebhardt, James Fausoneand Ron Randall

We believe that Breen, Broderick and Fausoneare the best chOices for seats of the Board ofTrustees

Breen has a long history as an educator whounderstands the college's special pla~e In the edu-catIOn process and retams a real enthusiasm forwhat the college IS accomplishmg

Broderick IS a lawyer With a solid understand-mg the college's budget situatIOn and the need tofind ways to replace the loss m state fundmg With-out burdemng students

Both have been part of the college's success,supportmg Schoolcraft PreSident Conway Jeffressm hiS careful management of the college'sresources and m hiS VISIOn to push the collegetoward health and techmcal educatIOn

Fausone, a Canton attorney, IS supportive of thecollege's directIOn but cntlCal of ItS marketmg andItS use of technology, even as It moves to take aleadership pOSitIOn m techmcal educatIOn He has

tHom

rate

a strong grasp of both budgetary and educatIOnalIssues

In a strong field of candidates, Mary Breen,Brian Broderick and James Fausone emerge asthe best chOices for the Schoolcraft College Boardof Trustees

Polls Will be <5pen 7 a m to 8 p m on Tuesday,May 8, and we urge voters to find the time to casttheir ballots The candidates m thiS electIOn tookthe time to get mvolved, now It'S your turn

Now there have been many opmlOnsthat have been made regardmg Mark sschool board electIOn Personally, I Will bevotmg for Mark This Will be my way ofsaYIng thank you for all the good you havedone for thiS school distrICt Who else canwe vote for?

I cannot vote for a candidate that wantsto pnvatlze almost everythmg m the <hs-trlCt Who can vote for Kurt Heise - I per-sonally saw him cmnpaIgnmg at theCommumty CounCIl meetmg m March,and I wonder Ifhe was on the taxpayers

dime? As for the mtemewWlth theObserver and the Journal, that was donedUring busmess hours Did he reimburseWayne County for that?

Who can vote for a candidate and cur-rent school board member that wants tobalance the budget on the backs of ourfine teachers? I often wonder what are theagendas for some of these candidates thatare runnmg to lead t1us fine school dls-tnct One candidate has an Impressivebackground m schools, and I mn sure mtime he can make a great contnbutlOn toourdlstnct

I ran last year for school board and lost,but Idid not walk away from partlclpat-mg and attendmg school board meetmgs,It Just made me want to get moremvolved Will the other candidates thatdo not Win stay mvolved? I can only bopeso

Mark has tried to make a dIfference byrunnmg to be a legislator that reallywould have tried to strengthen educatIonand lobby for eqUitable fundmg We havetwo candidates that have been very actIvem the dlstnct and have served us verywell We cannot afford to have schoolboard members that have their one-IsSueagendas and want to hurt our fine teach-mgstaff

Some people wonder why we shouldvote for Mark Slavens, remember back m2000 there was a person runnmg for tJ SSenate from Mlssoun by the name of MeICarnahan? He died m a plane crash onemonth before the electIOn, he still won bya landslide that sent a clear message thatthe voters were displeased With the othercandidate Please Jom me m votmg forMark Slavens May 8th to send a very loudand clear message

Rage is oftenbased on shame~

' all of us have Wlthm us the potentIa! tofly mto a rage But fortuuately not all of usdo Rage IS,as one has wntten, a shame-

based expressIOnof anger ItISa form ofabuse More of us feel angry at some pomtand that IScommon and natural

My fuend, Richard pfeIffer, author of TheRea1SoIuJ:wnAnger Warkbook, says thatanger ISa response we have ItISa responseto what happens to us, most often an expen-ence of pam whIch occurs m a relanonsmpWith another person Whatever form thepam, be It physlCal,psychologtcal, emotlonalor spmtual, tlus pam taps mto our bIology, so

that we are aroused phYSlcallym some way and feel astrong need fur release ofthat pam There are manyforms of an anger responseSome anger responses arecreatlve Some angerresponses are destruetlve

Every one of us Willbeangry at some nme Thefeelmg of anger comes from

- the sense that we IIIourselves expenence or see sometlung we beheveto be not nght or not fan' It ISthe destruetlveresponse to anger, whlChbecomes the prob-lem What makes the drfference m whetheror not our anger response IS appropnate, ere-anve, or mappropnate, destnletlve, has to doWith whether or not we feel so small m themtenlCtlon that we have a dnve to respond soas to feel bIg If we feel small m the mterac-non that snrs up our anger, It ISprobablyconung from a place of shame Wlthm us

When we feel shame we fuel small, unac-ceptable, maybe contempt by others andeven contempt fur ourselves The pam IShuge Some have SaIdthat to feel shame IStofeel bad m one's own bemg Good shamerenunds us that we are human, humble Butbad shame dnves us to overcome the homblefeehngs and sense ofbemg a worthless per-son

It ISthe excesSIveshame that ISthe roadtoward rage and VIOlenceBecause anger ISatwo part process first the pam and thoughtstnggered by the pam, It ISthe thoughts that,out of control work on us and sill up ouranger to excessive proportIons Becormngangry mvolves both pamful arousal and tug-ger thoughts

A person c'Xprcssmg exceSSlvt- anger orrage may scream become phYSICal,mampulate, sulk, create silent blackmail, smoldersilently and use anger to pUlUSh Inhealthyanger one sets boundanes, dIscusses andworks through the feehngs, behaves and Wksso that the anger can be worked on Healthvanger ISnot stuffed down and 19t1ored(Stlrffed anger creates resentment and awealth of physIcal mentlll and emonona!problems) Healthy anger ISnot expressed mpasSIveaggressIve and marupulanve ways

Anger management ISpoSSIbleandhealthy Programs reqUIre trme to workthrough, attentIon, and a conumtment tolearn relaxatIon stress reductlOn, and otherbehaVIoral terhUIques Italso reqUIres thetrme necessary to dIscover the cues deepWltInn, to learn where they come from, andto try to deal Withthe early pam as wellLISten to what the BIg Book ofAlcohohesAnonymous says It ISplam that a hfu wluchmcludes deep resentment leads omy to futlh-ty and unhappUIess Th the prectse estentthat we penmt these, do we squander thehours that mIght have been worthwlule ButWith the a1cohohc,whose hope ISthe mamte-nance and growth of a spmtual expenence,tlus busmess of resentment ISmfimtely graveWe found that It ISfatal For when harbonngsuch feelmg we shut ourselves offfrom thesunhght of the Spmt. If we were to hve, wehad to be free of anger The grouch and thebramstonn were not for us They may be thedubIOUSluxury of normal men, but for a1eo-hohes these tluugs are poISon

Pay attennon to yourself, where you hurtLIsten Ifone mqmres about the pam you feelItmay be nme for you to address your anger,and thereby reheve your pam

The 2007 Ion IS the Saturn s entry level car aImed atyounger buyers With Its edgy stylmg and a strong 2 2-hterengme

Unfortunately for the Ion there ISno place for It as SaturnIS movlllg more upscale m appearance and pnce So It WIll bereplaced next year WIth a new compact car based on the OpelAstral whIch General Motors currently offers III Europe

Although Saturn ISmarketIng Itself at a hIgher class, thebrand IS already known as lIaVIng the frIendlIest, no hassledealers m the mdustry In fact surveys show that Saturnbuyers tend to be more satIsfied WIth theIr dealers m terms ofthe sales and serV1ce expenence than buyers of other brands

The 2007 Saturn Ion hneup Includes two body styles andthree tnm levels - Ion 2 Ion 3 and Red Line In addItIOn tothe standard small sedan there IS the quad coupe bodystyle whIch features a paIr of reverse openmg access doors

The $12.300-pnced Ion 2 comes With the baSICS powerlocks, OnStar and a CD player But the Preferred Package forthe Ion 2 adds power wllldows and mirrors cnl1se control adnver-seat heIght adjuster and keyless entry

The Ion 3 features everythmg the fan 2 and the PreferredPackage mcludes plus 16 mch alloy wheels, aIr condltIomngand an antI theft system And for a sportIer demeanor the Ion3 can be upgraded Via the Enhanced Performance Packagethat mcludes a more powerful engme sport-tunedsuspenSIOn, antIlock brakes and tractIOn control

The high-performance Ion Red Line, whIch IS avaIlablestnctly as a quad coupe, features 17 mch alloy wheels alowered sport-tuned suspenSIon leather sport seats and mostof the Ion 3 s eqUIpment The Red Lme OptIonS mclude achOIce of rear spOIlers and the Red LIne CompetItIOnPackage that adds a lImIted slIp front dIfferentIal pamtedalIoy wheels a boost gauge and a programmable ladder'tachometer that hghts up when certam rpm levels arereached.
