TODAY’S PROGRAM...
Michigan Radio—2018 Election Preview Dale Leslie introduced today’s speaker, Zoe Clark, program manager of WUOM. He proudly pointed out that Zoe is a “townie” who traces her education back to Bach Open School. She attended the Uni-versity of Michigan, started at the radio station as an intern, and now leads the team at WUOM. Zoe also co-hosts “It’s Just Politics” with Rick Pluta, who was pre-
sent with us today.
Her topic today was “The 2018 Election”. With quick wit and intellect, Zoe described several themes and aspects of the 2018 election. First, she described this as the “Year of the Woman”, with more that 100 women run-ning in Michigan primaries for 148 seats. Zoe noted that since Donald Trump’s election there has been a dra-matic increase in the number of women entering political races. Secondly, she talked about a “Blue Wave” of Democrats winning some seats in the Legislature. She went into more detail about Democratic candidates and said that Detroit voters are key to election outcomes. Zoe noted that Michigan is “losing clout” in Congress as several longtime powerful members from Michigan have stepped down. Zoe’s prediction for 2018 is that the State Senate will re-main Republican, but that the House of Representatives is “up for grabs”.
She also noted the grassroots initiative by Voters Not Politicians to get a proposal on the bal-lot to deal with gerrymandering. Led by a 28 year old woman, this group collected almost 500,000 signatures on their petitions to get the proposal on the ballot. There followed ques-tions on redistricting, other forecasts, why the emergence of women in politics now, and well deserved compliments for Zoe Clark and WUOM.

FINES...
Dale Leslie noted that all attorneys should happily pay for the honor of having two judg-es with us today… passed, of course. Al Gallup wanted to thank Martha for the choco-late cake in honor of his birthday and to fine anyone who had not given Martha a hug of appreciation. Then Nick Dever felt everyone should pay for the honor of having two judges present, which led to mumbo jumbo and grumbling until President William called the question and got another “unanimous” vote of approval.
HAPPY DOLLARS...
George Gilligan had sixty happy dollars for sixty happy years of marriage to Mary!
Fred Sanchez was happy and proud of his official Kiwanis Sheriff Badge given to him by Joe Medrano in hopes it will make collecting fines from attorneys and other incorrigibles less difficult.
Jane Talcott is happy that more than half of this year’s campers have been or are in camp, and that in the next two weeks they will send off the 10,000th camper from Washtenaw Camp Placement. She is also grateful for the great partnerships be-tween WCP and several camps.
Dale Leslie happily remembers being in the delivery room 37 years ago for the birth of his son Graham Tyson Leslie.
Deb Jones proudly announced the birth of her granddaughter on July 4th, grandly weighing in at more that 10 pounds!
Dave LaMoreaux enjoyed a family reunion in NC. He attended Top Sail Island Ki-wanis Club and was impressed by their good works.
Al Gallup, an old but now New Member, lamented his July birthday not being includ-ed in the Digest birthday list. He was happy Martha Petroski made up for it with a personal chocolate cake for him. He also was disappointed that the Westside Story production he saw in Dexter was not about our Kiwanis Club moving to the Westside, but rather about a bunch of Puerto Ricans who couldn’t get along.
Max Ziegler reminded us that you never know what you will find in the bags of do-nated stuff: half a bag of rice for example, and a five pound bag of potatoes! He gave the potatoes to Mario, who set them on the counter, and were quickly picked up by Prudy Dittmar.
Dan Burroughs was happy about a family reunion in Utah and a wedding dance in which he and Adrienne remained on the dance floor as the longest married couple…51 years!
Ken Hillenburg is happy for a wonderful road trip out East to see old friends and older sights.
Lynne Lande was happy to have half a campership check and was looking for a partner. She was happy to see Larry French raise his hand.
Fred Sanchez came back up with another Happy Dollar to relate that he had a good reunion with his ex wife’s family in Arkansas. Their son’s family also attended and everyone had a good time together.
President William happily put in a dollar because there was no need for an Anony-mous Happy Dollar Donor today; and also claimed that he had found an original 1921 Kiwanis scarf, which he had given to Esther…unfortunately for William, his nose grew longer and longer as he spoke.
