County commissioner hopes to replace retiring clerk
Wayne schedules Coffee With A Cop Saturday
Starfish Family Services honors 2 ‘Great Hearts’
Richard LeBlanc, a Wayne
County Commissioner from
Westland, has filed the election
forms required to place his name
on the Aug. 4 ballot as a candi-
date forWestlandCityClerk.
LeBlanc is the first candidate
to file for the position. Current
City Clerk Eileen DeHart-Schoof
has confirmed she will not be a
candidate for re-election and has
endorsed LeBlanc to succeed
her.
Westland Mayor WilliamWild,
all members of the Westland City
Council, State Senator Hoon-
Yung Hopgood, State Sen. David
Knezek, State Rep. Robert
Kosowski, State Rep. Julie
Plawecki, County
Commissioner Al Haidous,
and former mayor and current
member of the Wayne-Westland
Board of Education Charles Trav
Griffin, are among several elect-
ed officials who have endorsed
LeBlanc.
“As a local legislator, I've been
an effective advocate for the resi-
dents of our communities, help-
ing
people for more than two
decades. If elected, Westland res-
idents will receive the same high
level of conscientious service
from the city clerk and staff that
has been the hallmark of the
office since we became a city in
1966,” LeBlanc said.
DeHart-Schoof said she is
planning to retire and feels
LeBlanc would be good for the
city.
“I have worked closely with
Richard for nearly two decades
and believe he will make an
excellent Westland City Clerk.
Longstanding public service is
something we share, and I am
confident I will be leaving the
office to a person with unques-
tionable professional conduct. I
plan to do all I can to assist in his
election.”
Wild stated, “The relationship
my administration has had with
Richard during his service as our
county commissioner and as our
state representative has been
exceptional. We share a positive
vision for our community, and I
offer my highest level of support
for his election.”
Other elected officials serving
the Westland community who
have to date endorsed LeBlanc
include:
Wayne
County
Community College District
Trustee Sharon Scott, and
Wayne-Westland Board of
Education President Thomas
Buckalew, along with board
members Melandie Hines, Carol
Middel, Shawna Walker and Dr.
FrederickWeaver.
Former Westland City Clerks
Diane Fritz, Nancy Bonaparte,
and Joanne Seaberg have
endorsed LeBlanc. In addition,
all municipal labor organizations
serving Westland employees: the
Westland Firefighters of IAFF
Local 1279, Westland Police
Officers Association, Westland
Police
Lieutenants
and
Sergeants Association, Westland
DPS Local 1602 employees, and
the Westland Supervisory Union
are supporting LeBlanc during
the 2015 election cycle.
LeBlanc is in his second term
on the Wayne County
Commission. He previously
served as the 18th District State
Representative for three terms,
the Westland City Council for
three terms, and the Wayne-
Westland Board of Education for
one term.
He has lived in Westland for
nearly 56 years, and has volun-
teered as an member of numer-
ous boards and commissions
since 1988.
In addition to his elective
service, LeBlanc was employed
by the Ford Motor Co., and
served 22 years with the Canton
Police Department in a part-time
capacity. He holds a bachelors
degree in business administra-
tion.
He and his wife, Cheryl, are
the parents of two adult sons and
have three grandchildren.
TheWayne PoliceDepartment
and McDonald's will host Coffee
with a Cop from 9 to 11 a.m.
Saturday, April 18 at the Wayne
McDonald's, 35111 W. Michigan
Ave. in Wayne. The event is free
and open to the public.
“We are pleased to create this
opportunity to engage the Wayne
Police Department for local resi-
dents and other area business
owners,” said Marla Thrower,
McDonald's owner and operator.
“McDonald's is always looking for
ways to engage our customers,
support our local community and
are committed to inspiring
involvement from our neigh-
bors.”
Coffeewith aCop is a national
program designed to bring
together police officers and com-
munity members in an informal
setting to discuss issues that are
important to them, build relation-
ships and enjoy a complimentary
cup of McDonald'sMcCafé coffee.
Attendees will have the opportu-
nity to ask questions, voice con-
cerns and get to know the men
and women who protect and
serve them every day, according
to a prepared statement from the
department.
Implemented in more than
175 cities in 36 states, Coffee with
a Cop helps break down commu-
nication barriers between police
officers and the community and
increase trust, which is critical to
the public safety and problem
solving.
“We hope that community
members will feel comfortable to
ask questions, bring concerns, or
simply get to know our officers,”
said Wayne Police Chief Alan
Maciag. “These interactions are
the foundation of community
partnerships.”
Inkster-based Starfish Family
Services has chosen Rebecca A.
Boylan and Thomas W. Sidlik as
the Great Hearts Award hon-
orees at the Turning the Tide
for Children event on Thursday,
April 30, at Cobo Center in
Detroit.
“Rebecca and Tom inspire us
with their generous spirit and
commitment to our community,”
said Ann Kalass, Starfish Chief
Executive Officer. “Rebecca is a
past chair and long-time board
member of Starfish Family
Services. She and Tom both
believe that children cannot
achieve their full potential with-
out a strong education,” Kalass
added.
“They appreciate that chil-
dren must arrive at kinder-
garten mentally, emotionally
and physically prepared in
order to take advantage of our
educational system. Rebecca
and Tom are dedicated to
Starfish Family Services
because our mission is to pro-
vide that preparation, starting at
birth, for the clientswe serve.”
This year, the event focuses
on the importance of the first
five years in a child's life. Funds
raised from the event will be
used to fund Starfish early
childhood and parenting/care-
giver education. This year,
Starfish has expanded its pro-
grams in Detroit through the
new Thrive by Five Detroit pro-
gram, which will serve more
than 1,300 children and their
families annually.
Event tickets are $150 and
include dinner and valet park-
ing. Event sponsorships are also
available. For more information

what different from other photographers
as she is renowned for her oil paintings,
turning photos into portraits, which is the
technique she used for the work she sent
toTheTravelingDress Project.
“It is a wonderful cause, and what
cause could be better for photographers,
really?” Yancy said. “I did it because I
wanted to do it and it was fun. It really
was fun.”
Participating photographers don't
have a great deal of time for the work.
They are allowed one day on which they
receive the dress in the mail. They have
another day to shoot all their photos and
they must ship the dress on to the next
participant the thirdday.
Yancy has been an artist “my whole
life.” She is a professional photographer
and has owned her own studio and busi-
ness “since I was a kid.” She admitted
she lied about her age to open her own
business and has never looked back. She
is self-taught, for the most part, she said,
but has earned her national reputation
with skills and techniques she has gar-
nered from her involvement in profes-
sional associations and from other pho-
tographers. Her reputation has led her to
teach others at universities and colleges
across the country, she said.
The wedding dress used in the project
has been across the country since it
began to travel in September of last year
and has been in front of photographers
in Canada, Australia and the United
Kingdom. The final photographs are
expected to be taken in December of this
year and then the collected work of the
photographers including one photo from
each of those selected will be published
in book form and sold with proceeds
going to benefit Operation Smile. For
more information about Operation
Smile, visit
smile.org.
