OK, I admit it, they scaredme.
OK, maybe they more than
scared me, perhaps it is fair to say
that they terrified the snot out of
me, but I was trying to salvage a lit-
tle ofmy dignity here.
It isn't too often I am impressed
with anything our federal govern-
ment does. Let's face it, I have been
somewhat critical of the decision-
making abilities of our elected offi-
cials of late, but man, oh man, this
time, I think the taxpayers are get-
ting theirmoney'sworth.
I'm talking about the specialty
teams of first responders being
trained throughout the area to deal
with terrorist attacks of all kinds
and any other threats to national
security thatmight occur,
If I were a terrorist, the people
who clambered out of all those
armored vehicles during the train-
ing exercises last week at the for-
mer Northville Psychiatric Hospital
wouldn't have to do anything more
than simply give me one of their
hard-edged stares and I would sit
down, surrender and begin to cry.
Look, I don't think of myself as a
cowardly person, but these photos
of peoplewould scare JackBauer.
These men and women were
brandishing hugeweapons the likes
of which I've never seen and rolling
in trucks of equipment that I am
sure could have launched a satel-
lite, if not a rocket, to another plan-
et with very little effort. And I sus-
pectmost of themknewexactly how
to accomplish that, too.
It's not like I am a stranger to
firearms, either. I learned to handle
a weapon at a very, very young age
from a person who never should
have been able to get his hands on
one. Safety was not on his list of pri-
orities and alcohol, he was confi-
dent, improved both his aimand his
teaching abilities. It wasn't pretty.
Additionally,
one of my sons
is a former cop
and was a mem-
ber of one of the SWAT teams in the
area. So, like, I've seen this gear
before. These guys should not have
made my breakfast violently
attempt to escapemy digestive tract
by simply appearing on the scene.
And that was just the graphic pho-
tos.
But, they did.
That is, however, exactly what
they are trained to do. Taxpayers
like you and I funded the training
and thenmore training of these spe-
cialists who are in the area to come
to the rescue should there be a ter-
rorist situation or a threat to nation-
al security of any kind. The training
hasworked. Trustme.
If you aren't intimidated, threat-
ened and wicked nervous when
these people show up, you really
need to have yourmedication levels
adjusted. That intimidation factor is
as much a tactic as the methods
they practiced at the 400 acres of
grounds at the old hospital last
Tuesday. Sure, they can find and
dismantle an improvised explosive
devise, handle multiple assassins
firing automatic weapons at them
fromseveral directions andneutral-
ize a toxic waste spill used as a
chemical weaponwhile figuring out
how to free a hostage from a group
of armed captors. No problem.
Then, they have lunch.
We are really getting our money's
worth with these 300 or so officers
from14 departments.
But let me add this: Should there
be an incident where these people
are needed, I do not want to be any-
where in the vicinity.
The terrorists or bad guys could-
n't ever possibly scare me as much
as these people.
Now that’s scary

Supervisor clarifies issue
To the editor;
In the March 14, 2013 edition
of the Independent, Rosemary K.
Otzman wrote a front page article
entitled VBT Fire Dept. struggles
withAffordableCareAct.
While the impact of the
Affordable Care Act on Van
Buren Township part-time staff is
notable, staff persons areworking
tirelessly to address staffing,
mutual aid assistance, and train-
ing hours to ensure compliance.
The approach Otzman used in
her article brought question to
the community's safety, and I
would like to bring clarity.
Otzman's article reads like she
had interviewed me regarding
this topic. This is not the case.
Instead, Otzman used statements
from a memo she obtained via
the Freedom of Information Act.
This memo was written to Van
Buren Township directors and
supervisory personnel regarding
part-time staff persons through-
out the entire municipality, not
exclusively supervisors of fire
personnel.
Had Ms. Otzman contacted me
to obtain information on the
topic, I would have provided the
following information, which I
have already shared with several
fire personnel:
“Van Buren Township main-
tains its commitment to continue
to staff a duty crew 24 hours per
day / seven days per week at both
fire stations.”
“It would be unconscionable to
send a fire fighter home from an
incident because he has exceed-
edmandatedhours.”
“If staffing hours for fire fight-
ers exceed the average threshold,
Van Buren Township will comply
with the health care mandates of
theAct.”
Van Buren Township will con-
tinue to provide excellent emer-
gency response service to the
community, as it complies with
the Affordable Care Act's statutes
and regulations.
If you have any questions
regarding this matter, I will hap-
pily provide answers. Please con-
tact my office directly at (734) 699-
8910.

Legislator thanks moviegoers
To the editor;
I was pleased at the turnout for
the first of many events in the city
of Wayne as part of my “Rep on
theRoad” program.
It was great to see more than
300 residents from Wayne and
Westland and to speak with them
about their concerns and priori-
ties.
I am extremely grateful to
Phoenix Theatres for making this
event possible and to my fellow
elected officials who took the
time to joinme.
I was joined by Wayne City
Council members John Rhaesa
and James Henley as well as
Westland City Council members
Christine Cicirelli Bryant and
MeriemKadi.
In addition to the film, atten-
dees were able to meet with a
representative from theMichigan
Education Trust to learn about
college savings plans.
I wanted to provide families
with information on how to pre-
pare for the ever-increasing costs
of higher education. I am grateful
that the Michigan Education
Trust was willing to meet with
families and provide guidance on
how best to save for their chil-
dren's future college plans.
The “Rep on the Road” series
is looking for future additional
locations. If your organization or
group is interested in being
included in a future event, please
call (517) 373-2576.

Wayne teens win honors
To the editor;
Our Wayne Memorial JROTC
Drill andAcademic Teams partic-
ipated in the 7th Brigade (5-state
region) Championships this past
weekend. Fifty eight of the 209
schools in the region made the
trip to Fort Knox, KY for the com-
petition.
Our Academic Team, led by
Cadet Douglas Chuong, placed
first in the brigade for the fourth
consecutive year. Cadet Dionte
Burton, who is also featured on
the front page of this past
Sunday's Westland Observer for
his appointment to West Point,
placed first in the Individual
ArmedDrill Competition. He also
led the ExhibitionDrill Team to a
thirdplace finish.
The Drill Team placed eighth
overall, but are still the smartest
teamin the region.
