do come back to do so and all of
them leave with Plymouth
imprinted as a place for family
entertainment, shopping, dining
out and aunique shopping.
This event is one of several that
promote the image of the city and
the entire community as a won-
derful, Norman Rockwell kind of
small town. People visit here dur-
ing festivals like this one and want
to return, want to be part of a com-
munity that hosts the Art in the
Park event and the Rotary
Chicken Barbeque and Fall
Festival.
Plymouth is a wonderful com-
munity full of terrific residents
and incredible businesses and
shops and some really great
restaurants all in a friendly, warm
atmosphere that is the envy of
communities throughout the state.
The ice festival is an integral
part of that reputation and ambi-
ence. Those charged with promot-
ing and ensuring the success of the
community and the businesses
there should be taking every step
possible to ensure the success of
all these events.
and trying to balance our purchas-
es on parts of our anatomies never
intended to carry food processors
or electric griddles.
At the “mortgage” remark, a
nice-looking man two people in
front of me said something under
his breath that contained a scato-
logical reference, put the electric
mixer he was trying to buy down
on the floor and stomped to the
escalator. Grumbling all theway.
There's one down, I thought to
myself.
His comment did attract the
attention of the manager, however,
who evidently realized that with
17 people standing in line, it
shouldn't take four clerks to help
one woman, even if she were giv-
ing birth.
At last, the line started to move,
but by now, everybody was way,
way cranky. The clerks, oblivious
up to now, got some unwelcome
responses to their cheerful greet-
ings, so that by the time I finally
reached my turn at the register,
the manager who had decided to
help out at the counter was well
aware that her lifemight be on the
line if she so much as uttered a
greeting.
“Will that be all?” she said. “No,
lady, I stood in line for 35 minutes
just for entertainment and now I
am going to run back through the
crowded department and pick up
several more items while the rest
of these people continue to wait.
Yes, Mrs. Einstein, that will be all.
Will my $10 off coupon work on
this?”
“If it won't, I'll give you my
employee discount just to get you
the hell out of the store,” she whis-
pered as she started to punch in
my purchase, “and you know
exactly where you can stick your
coupon.”
And here I thought nobody ever
listened tome.
I wish each of you a very blessed
and Merry Christmas, and also a
healthy andhappyNewYear 2013!

Union offers correction
To the editor;
I just read your story on the
“opinion” page about the
Thanksgiving Day gunman barri-
caded in Inkster. First of all, thank
you for the kind story from all the
officers that were there and gave
up their Thanksgiving to protect
the public and continue to do the
best job we can during the police
shortage.
There was an Inkster Police
SWAT Team until Chief Napoleon
decided to disband them back in
April 2012, because he no longer
wanted to pay them “comp time” to
train. There is no longer a SWAT
Team, they now have individual
officers who are highly trained but
not part of a team that can be
calledup tohandle a situation.
Thanksgiving Day is a perfect
example that anything can happen
at any time. A good side story to
this is that the SWAT Teamactually
was the individual officers giving
up their day (they could not have
been ordered in, because there is
no team to order in) to help fellow
officers and citizens in danger.
They came in after being called
and asked to respond to the situa-
tion because they have the special
training and equipment that regu-
lar officers do not have.
Also a thank you to the
Dearborn Heights Police SWAT
(from the Inkster Police SWAT),
they brought out the armored vehi-
cle to take out the front door, which
was a vital part of resolving this
withno injuries.
The City of Inkster administra-
tion needs to start thinking about
the people that live andwork in the
city and not the bottom line all the
time.

Resident writes to senator
To the editor:
This is a copy of an email sent to
State Senator PatrickColbeck.
Senator Colbeck,
I know you won't see the
responsibility to respond to this
email, but I'm going to send it any-
way.
You say that workers should
have the right to decide whether or
not to pay dues to belong to a
union, but they still get the same
benefits that a union contract pro-
vides.
Over 51percent of employees at
that company voted the union in. If
you don't want to work there, don't
apply. Apply at a non-union compa-
ny. The current workers (which
could include you) at that company
have the right (51 percent) to vote
the union out, just like the voters of
Michigan did with the EFM
l(Emergency Financial Manager)
law. Oh, in that case, our votes did-
n't matter, you voted in a "new"
EFMlaw!
Do I have the right not to pay
Gov. (Rick) Snyder taxes, because I
find them "not to be of value" to
me?
Do you have the responsibility
(as one of your constituents) to
meet/talkwithme?
I highly doubt it.
