Although I don't know when this current crisis will end, there is very little similarity to the Great Depression. First, during the Great Depression unemployment was at 25 percent. And there was a 50 percent foreclosure rate. Although foreclosures have been on the rise, they don't come close to what was happening during the Great Depression. And although Michigan has the highest unemployment rate in the country, it basically is a third of what it was during the Great Depression. At the time of the Great Depression, we did not have security laws to protect investors, nor did we have insured savings accounts through banks. Although our regulatory structure has changed dramatically over the last 20 years, in reality there were no regulations at the time of the Great Depression.

ight Up a Life is always a nice event with a sit-down dinner, silent Lauction and entertainment, but underlying all the fun is the knowledge that proceeds go to Angela Hospice in Livonia. Dozens of volunteers and staff work hard to raise money to pay for the programs to assist terminally ill patients and their families. Kathy Stemberger can't say enough about the help she and her two young sons received before and after her husband died. Jeff Stemberger was diag­ nosed with esophogeal cancer Oct. 7,2005 and was in the home care Linda Chomm program for six weeks prior to his death on Oct. 4,2006. Angela Hospice staff even came to their home to help Jeff arrange to donate his body to medical research at Wayne State University, where he earned PHOTOS BY TOM HOFFMEYERI STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER his master's degree. String musicians of the Livonia Symphony Orchestra gathered for a rehearsal in preparation for their upcoming season. "They were very well in tune to the dynamics of our family and what our needs were," said Stemberger of Plymouth Township. "They would come and cut his hair, help me bathe him.

After your treatment, you might have some swelling, redness, pain, bruising, and tenderness..This will normally last less than seven days. Although rare, red or swollen small bumps may occur. If you have had facial cold sores before, an injection can cause another outbreak. In rare circumstances, the doctor may inject into a blood vessel, which can damage the skin. To avoid bruising and bleeding, you should not use Restylane if you have recently used drugs that thin your blood or prevent clotting. If you are pregnant, breast­ feeding, or under 18, you should not use Restylane.

Restylane should not be used by people with previous bad allergies, particularly to certain microorganisms known as gram positive bacteria, or by people with previous bad allergies v,; to drugs that have required in-hospital
