to remove the rest of the dead bird and the
moldy peanut butter and jelly sandwich she
has somehow located. Again, tell her LEAVE
IT and remove the matter from her gaping,
chomping, drooling jaws.
Grab the leash and start again fromthe left
with theHEELcommand.
Unwrap the leash from around and
between your legs and ankles, carefully
avoiding stepping on the prancing, wiggling
dog who is nowenthusiastically digging at the
base of the large evergreen in search of more
dead things.
Apologize to the neighbor who is staring
balefully at the digging dog in her front yard.
Offer to replace the tulip and hyacinth bulbs
which the dog has unearthed and is trying to
eat. Again, remove the bulbs from the dog's
mouth, and, if possible, shove them back into
the dirt to appease the glaring neighbor.
Tell the dog NO and proceed, again, to
walk forward on the HEEL command, smil-
ing balefully and waving to the scowling
owner of theundigested flower bulbs.
Pick yourself up carefully again from the
slippery sidewalk where you tripped over the
leash the dog has yanked out of your hands as
she took off down the block in her hasty pur-
suit ofmore squirrels.
Chase the dog. When close enough, call
the animal's name in a gentle, cooing tone, in
an attempt to lure her close enough so you
can grab the leash. Continue giving chase as
she lets you just close enough and then
bounds off again.
Tell the dog in a firmvoice that this isNOT
AGAME! When you get her attention, distract
her with the remains of the dead bird, peanut
butter sandwich or half eaten tulip bulb you
hid in your coat pocket and grab the leash.
Have her sit at your left side and start
again, with the HEEL command heading
towardhome.
Sit on the curb and staunch the flow of
blood from your nose which impacted with
the tree when the dog once again yanked you
forward in her pursuit of squirrels. As the
headache is extreme, and your shoulder is
probably dislocated, you should dial 911 for
medical help.
While you wait, you must once again
recapture the dog who is now out of sight in
her quest to capture and eat several squirrels
or a neighbor's cat.
When the 911 ambulance arrives, have one
of the nice paramedics call the dog who will
immediately respond to him as he is a new
victim. Try to smile when he says what a nice
dog she is. Ask him to drop her off at home
which is directly on the route the ambulance
is traveling taking you to the emergency
room.
Remind him, under no circumstances, to
use the word HEEL while holding onto her
leash.
tapes, norwas there any public comment or
report from the local chief regarding the
completion of the investigation.
We are simply pointing out the differ-
ences in handling of these situations. In
one community, transparency and commu-
nication seems to be an important factor in
the public safety department. In the other,
it appears the incident was shrouded in
secrecy and cloaked in obfuscation.
Obviously, a serious difference in the
philosophy of public communication and
openness in public safety and government
exists, and not only between these two
departments. The openness of communica-
tion is shared and even required by chiefs
in several communities we cover where the
public's right to know is considered an
important step in protecting them from
harm. In others, it is as difficult, if not more
so, to obtain any information about police
activity or crimes, other than those routine
events on the police logs.
In several communities, the attitude
about communication with the public
comes directly from the department leader
and in others, it is an effort to control the
management of the public safety depart-
ment by amunicipal official.
We understand and respect the confi-
dentiality of ongoing investigations, often
used by police as the motivation for failing
to provide public information. We have nei-
ther of those feelings for the overt efforts of
others to act in secret, besmirching the rep-
utations for professional conduct of the
men and women in their departments with
questions, conjecture and rumors.
The men and women who put their lives
on the line every day deserve the kind of
open communication and transparency
Werth offered. Anything less is a disservice
to the jobs these officers do.

Salvation Army's annual March Mayhem
Sale. All 33 metro Detroit Salvation Army

Center (ARC). “When you shop at our family
thrift stores, you're not only getting great
deals and giving new life to the items you
purchase. You're helping provide the benefi-
ciaries of our Detroit and Romulus rehabili-
tation centers with opportunities for a fresh
start.”

Salvation Army mission, and offers sub-
stance-abusing adults the opportunity to
rebuild their lives through a voluntary,
short-term residential self-help program

esteemand personal strength that will allow
them to resist the desire to abuse a sub-
stance and regain their rightful place as con-
tributing members of society. Completely

ing budget from the revenue of the 33

attention of thosewhowant so desperately to
stay 'in charge' in the city. More than 250 resi-
dents have filed a class action suit against
Inkster, demanding the city stop shutting off
the water of residents who will not allow the
new meters in their homes or who refuse to
pay the outrageous bills the meters precipi-
tate. If these city council members want to
serve the public interest and oversee the
policies and operation in the community,
they better step up and face these issues. If
the mayor wants to continue to control his
political reputation and stronghold on the
city, he needs to take some corrective and
public action to determine exactly who is
right and who is wrong in this police situa-
tion and how much validity exists in these
complaints. He also needs to take charge of
this water meter fiasco and take some proac-
tive steps to protect the people he is sup-
posed to represent.
If the city manager wants to continue run-
ning the city, he better do so by putting this
police issue in the hands of an independent
investigator or agency who can make an
unbiased evaluation of the complaints these
officers have brought forth. And he, too,
should be seriously investigating all the fac-
tors involved in the purchase of these water
meters.
The negligence the entire city administra-
tion has exhibited in these situations is rep-
rehensible and a clear violation of the public
trust. These officials, both elected and hired,
continue to want the authority of their posi-
tions while overtly abdicating the responsi-
bility those jobs entail.
If it takes an emergency manager to
straighten these messes out, then the gover-
nor should send one into Inkster as soon as
he can find anybody willing to take it on,
because obviously, nobody else is doing the
job.
