to pass only one class during the second
semester last year, passed all his classes
this semester and achieved his
Champions goal. He went from a .1 grade
point average to 2.1 and says that the daily
meetings with his mentor kept him on
track for his goal and taught him what
education canmean.
Students in the Wayne Memorial
Champions program celebrated their suc-
cess last Tuesday when they received
their checks, and the John Glenn students
and their parents filled the Hellenic
Cultural Center to capacity on Wednesday
where their checks were presented with
much fanfare, cheerleaders, band music
and a confetti cannon.
In addition to those who made their
grade point goal, another 100 students in
the program improved their overall
grades.
There were happy smiles and tears of
joy as the 135 John Glenn students
received their checks from Shaw and his
wife, Patti.
Celebrating with the students were
their individual mentors, parents and dis-
trict educators.
The students' success was lauded by
Wayne Westland Superintendent of
Schools Michele Harmala and Westland
MayorWilliamWild, among others.
Also sending his congratulations via
videotape was Detroit native and noted
pediatric neurosurgeon and presidential
candidate Ben Carson, a strong advocate
of the importance of education.
Shaw, who was repeatedly thanked by
the students, administrators and officials
for his commitment to the program was
brought to tears by a standing ovation. He
told the students that he hoped evenmore
of them would join the program next year
and that he knew more of them would
make their goal and succeed. Shaw and
his family have pledgedmore than $60,000
to the program.
Shaw offered a friendly challenge to
the Champions Program at Wayne, telling
Galvin and the crowd that next year the
success rate at Glenn would improve to 40
percent, a 6 point improvement over the
34 percent this year. At Wayne, 27 percent
of students who took part in the program
made their goal.
The Glenn program is directed at the
school by assistant principal Kimberly
Ciesynski, who also emceed the Glenn cel-
ebration, and school psychologist Louis
Przybylski.
No public funds or taxmoney is used to
support the programs which are funded
strictly by private donations. Shaw said he
thought part of the success of the program
this year at John Glenn was due to the
involvement of the parents, whichwas one
of the goals fromthe beginning.
He thanked the parents in the audi-
ence and told them that they were the
major influences in their children's lives
andurged themto stay involved.
He added that the mentors who volun-
teered their time to meet with the stu-
dents to offer encouragement and help
were also crucial to the program. Students
could choose a mentor from a wide roster
of volunteers which included more than
100 teachers, school staff members, police
officers and themayor.
In addition to the students receiving
the $200 checks, all the John Glenn stu-
dents who improved their grades as part
of the program received a backpack spon-
sored by Toarmina's Pizza and Mickey's
DairyTwist inWestland.
“You are changing lives,” Ciesynski told
the visibly moved Shaw as she introduced
him to a standing ovation from the audi-
ence.

Former Wayne mayor joins county task force

Wayne
County
Commissioner Al Haidous has
been named to the recently-cre-
ated County Task Force on
Environmental Quality.
Haidous
will
join
Commissioner Joe Barone, R-
Plymouth Township, Ilona Varga,
D-Lincoln Park; Ray Basham, D-
Taylor and Tim Killeen, D-
Detroit.
The task force was formed in
response to growing environmen-
tal concern, locally and
statewide, Woronchak, D-
Dearborn, said. Barone is a
native of Flint where lead con-
tamination in the water has been
amatter of national attention. He
said the goal of the task force is to
protect county residents.
“The Task Force on
Environmental Quality will be
active in gathering information
on issues related to the environ-
ment, both to keep the entire
Commission informed and to
make sure our residents are
well-represented in standing up
for them on these important mat-
ters,” he said in a prepared state-
ment.
“The water crisis in Flint and
continued concerns about air
quality in Wayne County's indus-
trial areas are causing more and
more residents to become aware
and engaged,” Woronchak said,
“and the Wayne County
Commission needs to both stand
with them and advocate for
them.”
The task force will be chaired
by Varga who said the panel
would provide the commission
members a voice in environmen-
tal issues and examine ways the
county can be involved in pro-
tecting residents.
Michigan State Police and Inkster
police detectives are warning the public
about a national trend of criminals luring
victims tomeet for internet transactions.
Two recent homicides in the city of
Inkster may have been the result of crimi-
nals luring the victims into a robbery or
fraud situationusing the internet.
“Citizens are reminded to use extreme
caution when arranging to meet with peo-
ple they don't know in areas they don't
know to conduct cash transactions,” a
statement from the Michigan State Police
said.
The Michigan State Police and other
law enforcement agencies offer space to
conduct these types of transactions, the
statement said.
Detectives from the Inkster Police
Department and the Michigan State
Police are continuing the investigation
into two recent fatal shootings during day-
light hours in the city.
James Ngoc Ngyen, a 53-year-old man
from Dearborn Heights, was reportedly
shot while sitting in his car on Magnolia
Street at about 1:30 p.m. Feb. 1.
Witnesses described the shooter as a
light-skinned, thin black man about 5-feet,
7-inches tall wearing a dark gray hooded
zipper jacket, dark jeans and “timber-
land” style shoes.
Police are also continuing their search
for the suspect in the killing of Dakari
Lamar Mitchell, a 22-year-old man from
Detroit, who was discovered at about 1:45
p.m. Feb. 7 lying in the street in front of
28000GlenwoodStreet, in front of his car.
He was transported to a local hospital
for treatment of a gunshot wound to his
chest and died of his injuries at the hospi-
tal.
The suspect in this shooting was
described by witnesses as a black man
wearing dreadlocks anddressed in a dark-
colored coat.
Both police agencies have requested
help from the public in finding the shoot-
ers in these cases. Anyone who may have
information about the shooting is asked to
call 855-MICH-TIP or crime stoppers at
800-SPEAK-UP.
