ORTHVILLE
Supervisor joins legislator
for State of the State address
100 Days of Health now under way in Canton
State Rep. Kurt Heise invited
newly-elected Northville Township
Supervisor Robert Nix II to join
him at Gov. Rick Snyder's third
annual State of the State address in
Lansing last week.
Nix is a longtime Northville
Township resident and partner in
the Detroit-based law firm Kerr
Russell Weber. He was elected in
November 2012 for a four-year
term.
"It was exciting to have Bob join
me on the House floor for this
important event so he could hear
firsthand about the governor's
vision for our state," said Heise, R-
Plymouth. "It's a vision we all
share; great schools, lower taxes
and a better quality of life for our
hard-working taxpayers."
Heise said he looks forward to
starting the 2013-14 legislative ses-
sion. He said much has been
accomplished over the past two
years to encourage economic
development and job growth, but
more needs to be done. Heise also
said the conversation about
Michigan's roads and bridges must
continue to take place.
"Michigan obviously has critical
needs when it comes to our roads
and bridges, but before any consid-
eration of new revenue happens,
we must make sure we are getting
value for the money already being
spent," Heise said. "In addition,
Plymouth, Canton and Northville
townships are donor communities
to Wayne County, and we need to
make sure we are getting our fair
share of funding."
Heise has introducedHouseBill
4015, which would allow Plymouth,
Canton, and Northville townships
to form a "Road Quality Alliance" to
spend their share of state Act 51
roadmonies independent ofWayne
County.
the property from Trademark Assets to the
legitimate buyer who placed the original
higher offer.
The charges claim that Salami fraudulent-
ly profited from the difference in price
between the sale of the property to
TrademarkAssets and the subsequent sale to
the buyer, double commission of the first sale
and commission from the second sale.
Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac would never be
made aware of the original offer from the
first buyer and that buyer would not be
aware of the previous sale to Trademark
Assets.
Homes that were allegedly sold under the
scheme include properties in Dearborn,
Detroit, Ecorse, Taylor, Lincoln Park,
Melvindale andDearbornHeights. The court
documents allege that Salami made more
than $265,000 on 22 such sales.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym L. Worthy
has charged Salami with conducting an
alleged criminal enterprise fromAugust 2007
until approximatelyApril 2010.
Salami is charged with two counts of con-
ducting a criminal enterprise, one by Fannie
Mae and one by Freddie Mac. That charge
carries a 20-year prison sentence, if convict-
ed. He is charged with two counts of embez-
zlement. The Fannie Mae complaint claims
theft in excess of $100,000, which carries a 20-
year prison term while the embezzlement
count from Freddie Mac claims $50,000 or
more but less than $100,000 which carries a
termof 10 years, each.
He also faces 10-year prison terms, if con-
victed, on three counts of false pretenses,
$20,000 ormore fromFannieMae and two on
the same offense by Freddie Mac. Each
agency has also charged him with using a
computer to commit a crime.
Salami was arraigned in 17th District
Court by Judge Karen Khalil Jan. 16 and his
bond was set at $3 million or 10 percent. He
must wear a tether if he posts bond andmust
not engage in any real estate transactions.
His passport was takenby court.
With help from Oakwood
Healthcare, Inc., Canton Township
started the annual 100 Days to
Healthprogramrecently.
Now in the 11th year, the pro-
gram is designed to encourage peo-
ple to live a healthier lifestyle and
provide them the resources to do
so, saidKathyMcCarthy, health and
wellness coordinator for the town-
ship leisure services department.
“It provides a low cost way for
our participants to work toward
their health goals, whatever they
may be,” she said.
Participants pay a one-time reg-
istration fee for the program, which
typically runs from January
through April. Residents pay $15
and non-residents, $25, which
grants them five visits to the
Summit on the Park recreation
center as well as a host of fitness
activities, conferences, classes-any-
thing from practical nutrition to
Zumba-along with demonstrations
and special events.
Oakwood has been the primary
sponsor since 2008. Oakwood
Community Health nurses provid-
ed free blood pressure and blood
glucose screenings at the kick-off
event and Oakwood clinicians and
other professionals will speak on
different health and healthcare
topics throughout the program.
“Oakwood has always had a
strong focus onworking in the com-
munities we serve,” said Michael
Madigan, community relations spe-
cialist for Oakwood. “It was a natu-
ral for us to be involved in this.”
McCarthy said the 100 Days to
Health has proved to be a popular
programsince it was implemented.
