As soon as the old Target store on Plymouth Road closed, 4*- the new one on Plymouth Road ^ opened. Shoppers, employees and their families descended on the new store as the auto­ -»* matic doors opened for the first time Tuesday. The new Wonderland Village Target store had its "soft" opening Tuesday afternoon and about 2,500 people came out — roughly equivalent to a normal full day's business. The real grand opening is scheduled for Sunday. The old store will be 4* gutted over the next month and demolished to make way for new development. Karen Glab of Livonia was one of the first customers through the door on Tuesday. She liked the store. "It's really nice in there, they have everything," she said. "I knew today was the opening because my sister-in-law works there." She said the new store seems to have a larger grocery sec­ tion, and more of everything else, than the old one.

Tuesday, Aug. 7, Westland residents will go to the polls tp'determine which candidates for mayor and city council will advance to the November general election. , There are three choices for mayor in the mayoral election •^- Daryl Novack, Charles Pickering and William Wild. With the state's dismal economic climate and the threat of cuts in state shared revenue, we believe that govern- ijient experience is a must for candidates seeking the city's highest elective office. Both Pickering and Wild have that experience. Pickering has lengthy experience in government, both as a member of the city council and as mayor. Wild also his served on the city council and is the current mayor, appointed to the position in January. They understand the problems facing the city and are capable of making the difficult decisions. That is why we tffge voters to select Charles Pickering or William Wild for mayor in the primary election. - in the City Council race, 11 candidates are seeking the four seats that will be filled in November. Only eight can­ didates can advance to the November election. Campaigning for the seat are current council mem­ bers James Godbout, Michael Kehrer, Dewey Reeves and Bill Johnson, as well as Christine Cicirelli Bryant, Gary Bulson, Howard Dunn, Sam Durante, John Goci, Todd Kangas and Mark Rodriguez.
