The rush-hour picket for what’s dubbed the Recall 4 campaign drew about two doz­ en people to the area of Ann Arbor Road and Haggerty, where they carried pro-recall signs and directed passers-by to a nearby parking lot, hoping to get them to sign recall pet­ itions there.

He thought she’d be a natural fit. “I got to know Judy and I gave her a call and told her she should apply,” said Horvath, who was board president at the time. Hard choices It wasn’t long before she was embroiled in controversy. The district had passed a bond in 1997 (by 71 votes) and was planning on building a third high school.

DETROIT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA The Confession of my Life . . . ADVERTISEMENT PRESENTS Confessions are tough. Real tough. But, sometimes a confession can set the record straight, and I want to give credit where credit is due. Before I talk about my confession, though, let me say a few other things first. /Q c l AA. Years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. Let me tell you my story. ^NEIGHBORHOOD I remember it like it was yesterday... CONCERT SERIES I was working as an Associate Doctor in a busy

M ADE POSSIBLE BY THE W ILLIAM DAVIDSON FOUNDATION Chiropractic office when I suddenly realized that I w as unsatisfied and unfulfilled with my work. (Have you ever felt this way?) I was working for THE DSO COMES TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD! someone I no longer respected and realized that I needed to do something else with my life. I wanted to quit being a chiropractor! I was willing to Mendelssohn give up and walk away from a career that had Violin Concerto consumed thousands of hours of my time and for which I had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars Leonard Slatkin, c o n d u c t o r studying and developing my knowledge. I was ready to leave this environment where I felt Nicolas Dautricourt, v io lin Mozart Symphony No. 30 trapped in a box with unrealistic expectations and demands and no lasting results for my Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor clients. Ravel Le Tombeau de Couperin I couldn’t help but wonder if the rest of my life is going to be like this. I didn't know where to Ginastera Variaciones Concertantes turn for help. But, listen to this . . .

Finally, a respected colleague of mine convinced me to join a conference call hosted by Dr. Ted Morter, III, to learn about Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.). (t $ 2 5 Dr. Morter presented the phenomenal results achieved by B.E.S.T. treatment—with clients who 0 FO« have been classified as medical and chiropractic “failures” —and what made B.E.S.T. different IOENTS) from traditional techniques. Instantly, I felt hope flow through me. I decided to hop on a plane and attend a one-day seminar to see for myself what the technology could do. At that seminar, I was floored by the multitude of applications that are possible with B.E.S.T. This form of care allows me to help people in a way that I had been dreaming about since I first decided to become a chiropractor. In that moment, I realized that this is the approach I would use with each person I treat; this IS the approach that allows your body to heal itself from the inside out in ALL A REA S of your life.

Now let me tell you about Emma our wonderful daughter in the photo... In C a n to n She gets B.E.S.T. treatments regularly and it makes a big difference in her life. You see, unlike JAN U ARY 9, 2015 AT 8 P.M. many of her little friends, she rarely gets the “ com m on” childhood illnesses like colds or the flu. Sh e is what I like to refer to as the typical “ Naturally Healthy Kid.” This may seem like a small thing, but it makes a huge difference to her, and to our family!

It’s strange how life is... Because now people come to see us with their neck and shoulder problems. Also they come to us with their headaches, migraines, chronic pain, arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, carpal tunnel syndrome, backaches, ear infections, asthma, allergies, numbness in limbs and athletic injuries just to name a few.

Several times a day clients thank us for helping them with their health challenges. But I can't really take the credit. My confession is that I've never healed anyone, of anything. What I do is perform a specific scientific technology that energetically balances the physical body, relieves nerve pressure, and then the body responds by healing itself. W e get amazing results. It’s as Village Theater at Cherry Hill simple as that! 50400 Cherry Hill Road The studies speak for themselves, like the Parker University study that showed that nearly 87.5% of people who saw a B.E.S.T. Practitioner were satisfied with their results. That’s just incredible! PURCHASE TICKETS TODAY! And that brings me to you. W hat about your health?
