. MAY 1992—AGENDA—9

A lot of people's attitudes about home- lessness is, "yes, we know there's a problem but we don't want to see it so what we're going to do is ignore it." But we're jumping out here and saying you can't ignore it. We are reality and what we want is affordable housing. You're no better than us because you drive a Benz and you can afford to put your children in college, and you can afford the luxuries of life that most people can afford. All we want is a fighting chance.

AGENDA: What would you have people do? Boze: Support people the best way they know how. Give them someplace to stay. If they have any special talents that they may be able to use in this situation—use them. If they see someone homeless, try to help the best way they can. Not everyone can help as much as another person. You can't really say every- one should do this or that, because everyone's different. Everyone can help in their own way. The way I can help right now is letting people know that we're here. Because of ignorance, a lot of people in this community just don't know that there are that many homeless people in Ann Arbor, or in Washtenaw County. AGENDA: A cop once told me: "I don't "I'm 22 years old and I've never partaken of any kind of drugs or alcohol. I don't know any homeless people. All I know are drunks."

WHAT MAKES THIS BREAD UNIQUE! • These round loaves and rolls are called Desem, the Flemish word for leaven. The Desem is made by fermenting whole wheat flour and water. Given the proper environment, "wild yeasts" break down the grain making it easily digestible. The gaseous by-product provides the leaven ing and mildly sour taste to the bread.

• The loaves are baked in a uniquely designed wood-fired brick oven which gives the bread a special texture and flavor that cannot be duplicated, as well as utilizing a renewable resource.

•The flours used are organic. They are stoneground and aged two to five days before using.
