accused them of acting too quickly in

response to the raid.

Since the resolution

was approved on a 6-

0 vote (Councilman

John Barden was

absent), Council

President LeRoy

Burcroff

and

Councilwoman Eva

Webb

have

announced their

intentions to run for

mayor.

Robert

MacLachlan, presi-

dent of the Romulus

School Board, has

obtained petitions to seek election to the city

council and long-time councilmember

William Crova said he would not seek re-

election this year.

WilliamProwse, aRomulus resident, said

he was disappointed by the reaction from

themayor and council in general.

“When it occurred, (Lambert) disap-

peared. We didn't see him at council meet-

ings and he didn't make himself visible,”

said Prowse. “He needs to stand tall. He

should be at themeetings. He shouldn't have

left.”

To the council, he

said: “Instead of

uniting together and

providing leadership

at the council meet-

ing, it appeared

there was a lack of

communication and

more of an opportu-

nity for personal

gains. The meeting

contained announce-

ments of who was

running for mayor

and who was step-

ping down from current positions. The tim-

ing could not have been worse. Instead of

providing stability and trust for the citizens

of this great city, you created more anger

and frustration at the whole political

process.”

Besson said that it is medically advisable

for anyonewho received emergencymedical

service from the department between the

March and April dates to seek medical

attention for any type of skin rash.

According to the Centers for Disease

Control, MRSA infections appear on the skin

as pustules or boils which are often red,

swollen, painful or have drainage. Often the

sores initially appear to be spider bites or

bumps. The infections commonly occur at

sites of visible skin trauma such as cuts and

abrasions and areas of the body covered by

hair like the back of the neck, groin, buttocks,

armpits or the beard area ofmen.

According to the center website, MRSA is

a staph infection which requires early treat-

ment. MRSA in health care settings usually

causes more severe and potentially life-

threatening infections.

Treatment may include having a health-

care professional drain the infection and

prescribe an antibiotic. The Center for

Disease Control cautions that the infection

should never be self treated as this could

make it worse or spread it to others. “If you

think you might have such an infection,

cover the affected skin, wash your hands and

contact your healthcare provider,” the

experts advise.

“If other people you know or live with get

the same infection, tell them to go to their

healthcare provider,” the center spokesman

urged.

Improvements to Ford Road presently

under consideration by the Michigan

Department of Transportation (MDOT) have

something in common. They are all expen-

sive and the state will need to find a funding

mechanism for any of them, according to

Matt Wendling, a senior engineer for Wilbur

Smith Associates, a consulting firm working

withMDOTon the latest FordRoad study.

During a meeting withMDOT representa-

tives last week in Canton Township.

Wendling said estimates for some of the pro-

posedplans could reach $40million.

Of the current options, the one apparently

most favored by township officials and the

consulting firm would include transforming

FordRoad into a boulevard by adding green-

ery and landscaping separating the east and

west lanes. The road would also be widened

to three lanes in some areas and left turns

would be prohibited at major intersections.

Turn around lanes, similar to the ones on

MichiganAvenue, wouldbe installed.

This project optionwould also include the

paving of Lotz Road in Canton from Cherry

Hill toFordRoad.

Wendling said that this appears to be the
