Former State Representative
and Senator Glenn Anderson, D-
Westland, was elected to serve as
the 12th District representative
on the Wayne County
Commission during the primary
election last week.
Anderson, who is also a for-
mer Westland City Councilman,
will serve his first two-year term
on the commission after receiv-
ing 4,274 votes. The 12th District
included Westland, Garden City
and Inkster.
He was challenged by Sue
Mason for the Democratic nomi-
nation. Mason received a total of
2,449 votes for the office.
Anderson was term limited in
both his state offices and former-
lyworked forFordMotor Co.
“Once again, honesty and true
integrity won over a downright
dirty campaign of lies and dis-
honesty. Voters saw through my
opponent's deliberate attempt to
smear my reputation and her
accomplices helped take her
down,” Anderson wrote on
Facebook following the election
totals. “Thank you to the voters of
Garden City, Westland and
Inkster who voted for me and
saw her campaign for what it
was.”
Anderson will be unopposed
in the Nov. 8 election as no
Republican candidate filed for
inclusion on the primary ballot.
Robert Kosowski, D-Westland,
will face Republican challenger
Matthew Morrow for his third
two-year term at the State
Representative from the 16th
District. Morrow received 1,093
votes on the Republican side of
the ballot which Kosowski gar-
nered 4,985 votes on the
Democratic ballot..
Jewell Jones was unopposed
in the Democratic primary for
the 11thDistrict StateHouse seat
that includes the northeastern
section of Westland, along with
Garden City, Inkster and
Dearborn Heights. Jones will
face Republican Robert Pope of
Garden City, who received 688
votes.
The Belleville Downtown
Development Authority (DDA)
has allocated $2,400 for repairs
and replacement equipment at
the kayak/canoe launch in
HorizonPark.
The bench support and sign
holder for the disabled was
removed from the site in June
and two roller removed from
the launch site in July, accord-
ing to Carol Thompson, the
DDAcoordinator.
Thompson told the DDA
board that the stolen items had
to be replaced and that an effort
to make the launch site more
secure was necessary to fulfill
the current contract with the
Department of Natural
Resources to maintain the
launch.
The state funded the launch
site which is nowmissing two of
the rollers which come in sets of
five. The replacement cost will
be $1,267, plus the cost of instal-
lation.
Insurance on the site current-
ly has a $1,000 deductible.
Thompson said the bracket
was torn off from the boat
launch and the brackets were
now missing and that there was
damage to the bolt holes.
Thompson said that people
have been swimming at the site
and climbing up the launch site,
despite warning signs that
swimming is prohibited. She
suggested more signs at the
launch.
The board approved the
expense to repair the launch
and signage unanimously.
The stabbing death of a 74-year-old
Wayne man has been ruled self defense
by a jury inWayneCountyCircuit Court.
Kyla Juane Nundley, 48, was charged
with involuntary manslaughter in the
death of Joseph Hiner Spielman which
took place Oct. 9, 2015 at his home on the
35000 block of Brush inWayne.
Nundley, who had been acquainted
with Spielman for about 15 years, did not
testify at the two-day trial before Circuit
Court Judge Katherine Heise. Her
defense attorney Lyle Harris argued that
Nundley stabbed Spielman as he came
at her armed with both a knife and a
Samurai-type sword.
The original charges against Nundley
included second-degree murder which
prosecutor's subsequently reduced to
involuntary manslaughter based on
Nundley's state of mind and her appar-
ent defense of herself in the face of the
danger present.
Spielman died, according to autopsy
reports, from a single stab wound to his
femoral artery which caused him to
bleed to death rapidly. Nundley called
911 and reported the injury, claiming that
Spielman was striking her. She was
arrested at the home when officers
arrived. Nundley claimed, through her
attorney, that she was backed into a cor-
ner by the armed Spielman and that she
stabbed at himblindly, striking his leg.
Nundley was originally found mental-
ly incompetent to face trial but following
treatment at the Forensic Center for
Psychiatry was determined to be able to
aid inher owndefense.
