OUR VIEWS VOL) oHvi SEE 06 OHC& A Y£AR. Court was not BOT TH6 CHR\STMAS SPIRIT SHOO LP && venue for art talk - ROOMP! The court hearings and debate over the roly-poly Big Boy statue that sits in front of its namesake restaurant on Ford Road has been nothing short of a saga. The issue pit the township against restaurant owners Tony and Rana Matar, who were ticketed twice for having the statue, as well as a free-standing sign on Ford Road. The township sign ordinance forbids two signs. A proposed resolution is a welcome breath of fresh air - especially considering the months and months of return hearings in 35th District Court. What's refreshing is that some township officials feel the sign ordinance needs some work. And indeed it does. It is one thing for an ordinance to regulate and bring uniformity to a commercial and retail area. In that sense, the ordinance has done its job. But the ordinance also has failed to acknowledge reality. In the commercial world, reality means companies use logos, icons and statues to be remembered. The public is bombarded daily with icons whether it's a Big Boy or Little Caesars statue. The township is now forced to address the results of corporate branding, which by all appearances are here to stay. The proposed compromise appears to be a healthy one. The Matars can keep Big Boy as long as they remove the words, Big Boy, from his bib - thus removing the com- LETTERS mercial nature of the statue.

Cut allergens Homeowners who are concerned about indoor air quality and allergies may want to consider an electronic filter or an ultraviolet germicidal light. The 1-inch electronic filter reduces particu- lates, specifically the 0.3 to 0.5 micron respirable particles, which work their way into a person's lungs and can cause allergic reactions. Those particles include tobacco smoke, dust and soot. The ultraviolet germicidal light reduces bioaerosols such as air- borne viruses, fungus, bacteria and some molds. The wavelength of the UV light penetrates the ceil wall and causes the DNA of the ceil to react, which in turn, causes sterilization. The UV bulb also uses a small amount m 1 of ozone (under the FDA's 0.05 parts per million) to address volatile organic compounds, which are gaseous pollutants formed from carpeting, chemicals and some wood products and odors, including mildew, cooking odors, paint and tobacco smoke.

tt^fs flrt Offering constructive criticism to others can be beneficial, but only if the other person is receptive to our Mir 9 EjltbfJ EO cpmrriGnts. In teaching situations or during on-the-job training, constructive criticism is usually.necessary to instruct and help a person develop a trade or vocation. However, correcting someone, even in a kind or skillful manner, can be very challenging, since we are never sure how the individual may react. Many friendships and families have been destroyed because someone has been overly critical of another person's words or actions. Knowing when we should offer our comments can also be difficult, and we should be fairly certain that our comments are truthful and necessary, It often seems so easy to criticize others because we mistakenly believe that we are without fault or are such experts on most everything. The Bibie tells us that we look at & the speck in our brother's eye, but we pay no attention to the log in our own (Luke 6:41). Faultfinding and being overly critical of others, especially behind their backs, are wrong and can become habit-forming. However, kind words are good for the soul and help to buiid a person up.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes? but a wise listens to advice, R.S.V. Proverbs 12:15
