This is just an opportunity to have a laugh
and share some old times,”
The event is also a fundraiser for the

ing for ROTC uniforms, band uniforms, trip
fares andmany other items at the schools.
The dinner dance will take place in the

Richardson cited 14 points that he felt were
of crucial concern to himand to the commu-
nity. He said that four board members had
hired Bashir without benefit of posting the
job and had violated the Open Meetings Act
by meeting privately to do so. He said that
the same board members hired Dr. J.R.
Sledge without a background check and
then discovered he was under investigation
by federal authorities and has now been
convicted of theft of funds from the Pontiac
district wherehe andBashirworked.
He said in his letter to RESA that Bashir
has failed to increase achievement and
enrollment and that morale has never been
at sucha lowpoint with the school staff.
Richardson said that parents are taking
children out of the district because of the
poor management of the four members of
the board andBashir.
made contact with Quigley by phone and even-
tually convincedhimto surrender.
A not guilty plea was entered for Quigley
during his arraignment last Wednesday at the
18th District Court. He is being held without
bond.
Quigley is charged with two felonies, kid-
napping and terrorism, both of which carry a
sentence of up to life in prison. He is also
charged withmaking a false report or threat of
terrorism and making a false report or threat
of bomb/harmful device, both four-year
felonies.

No primary in Wayne
Two candidates have filed nominating
petitions for the office of mayor in the city
ofWayne.
Incumbent Mayor Al Haidous will face
opponent DonFlynn.
In an interview last month, Haidous
said that the decision to seek reelection
was not an easy one for him this time. “I
really felt that it might be time to give
someone else a chance, but then I looked
at all there is to do and all the things I
want to finish in the city. I said that I have
to do this. I need to finish these things.”
Haidous also said that he felt it was
inappropriate for him to leave the city
during this time of problems and budget
difficulties.
“We are cutting and trying to have a
balanced budget. I don't think I should
step awaywhen there is somuchworkwe
have to do for our city,” he said.
As only two candidates filed, there will
not be a preliminary election in the city,
according to information provided by City
ClerkMattMiller.
Six candidates filed nominating peti-
tions for the three expiring terms on the
WayneCityCouncil.
Hoping for election to the Wayne
Council are: Jamie Conn, current
Councilman Jim Hawley, James K.
Henley, Brenda Ozog, former
Councilwoman SusanM. Rowe and Shari
Welch.
The General Election will take place
Nov. 5.
