I Olivia’s Opinion? 14 wish you a safe and fun-filled summer with my warmest regards, Game Time 15 1 Nice Balls Mayor! Thank you! Go Tigers 2 “Reading Campaign Literature Like a Pro” by Evelyn Nash The doorbell rings and you open the door. Someone sticks a glossy brochure in your hand. There you are. Welcome to campaign season. Even if you didn’t open the door, there is probably something left behind—a campaign card. If you were “most people” you’d probably take 20 seconds and scan the name, pictures, and endorsements. Then the campaign literature would be thrown out. Even if you kept it somewhere, research shows it would most likely be forgotten in five days. But you’re not “most people.” You are a senior citizen! It’s a fact that senior citizens are the biggest direct mail readers. That’s why campaigners LIKE seniors. They know you’ll take the time to read. Doesn’t it make sense that when you read this literature, you should have a game plan and be ready to tackle the literature like a PRO! Here are some ideas. Westland city officials are elected on a non-partisan basis, without a party label next to their names. How- ever, if you wish to know the candidates’ party leanings, ask them when they or their campaign volun- teers are at your door. Often you can figure out their preferences by their endorsements, leadership roles in the community or views on issues. When asked about leadership roles in the community, look for specifics about their activities. Words like member, chairman, volunteer, team leader will help to determine if the candidate was actively involved in the organization or just one who paid dues one year and never attended meetings or activities. Don’t be thrown off the question if the candidate answers by saying, “I am a life-long resident of this wonder- ful city,” and adds nothing else. Understand the scope of the candidate’s future position. State law forbids cities from offering inducements to companies to get them to move there. When a candidate suggests he/she will be able to get companies to move here, ask how they will do that. Understand the different types of local governments. Not everything that happens in Westland is under the control of Westland city officials. There are other local governments that affect what happens here. Wayne County, Great Lakes Water Authority, Livonia and Wayne-Westland school districts, and the Intermediate School District are all examples of governmental units that have decision-making boards that affect life here. Know who is responsible before you blame or criticize. Check to see if the candidate has answered the question. When asked about how senior citizens will be helped by a candidate, is it satisfactory in your mind to hear an answer like, “I like senior citizens. I hope to become one myself”? Instead, look for information about specific activities or programs or links with specific local businesses that would be beneficial. Notice those answers that duplicate what we al- ready have but the candidate is not aware of it. Be careful about those photos in campaign literature of “grip and grin” shots with people lined up for a pho- to op with the candidate. Often, these people are not even aware that their image will be included in someone’s campaign literature. Unless they are listed as endorsers, be cautious about their relationship with the candidate. Most campaigns are warned to be “positive” rather than “negative.” Nevertheless, some campaigns are built on criticisms of their opponents. When this happens, remember that a government can’t be run alone based on criticism of someone else. You need knowledge of how a city runs and the ability to put a program in place. Check to see if the one who is criticizing or complaining is offering solutions to the problems he/she has discussed. Are there specifics that will achieve results or is the innuendo merely that if we “get rid of this person” everything will be fine? Does the candidate have the necessary training and experience to carry out the job for which he/she is running? Finally, when the candidate is speaking to you, can he/she look you in the eye and address the question di- rectly or does the candidate have to keep referring to a “cheat sheet” to answer any question that asks for specifics. Most of all remember: An informed citizen is the basis for a healthy democracy. 3 Mark Your Calendars !- Friday, August 4th and Saturday, August Scheduled activities July-Sept., 2017 5th—if you haven’t experienced the Blues, Friday, July 14—Summer Picnic!

A mild trumpet fanfare is heard and a voice announces, "Ladies and gentlemen, Orson Bean!" The curtain parts and out leaps a middle-aged man with a tidy beard, a white silk in his jacket's breast pocket, and a bow tie over his fancy turtleneck sweater. As soon as I see him I wonder, "What about Garry Moore, the regular host, the man who resurrected the bow tie, the man who by sheer personal persistence made the bow tie acceptable to the masses, the man without whose efforts Orson Bean could not possibly be standing there on national television wearing a bow tie?" As if to answer my question, Orson Bean begins to talk. "Ladies and gentlebeans, Garry Moore is unable to host the show tonight. It seems he is suffering from an acute identity crisis. He received a letter yesterday from a woman in Kansas troubled by the number of o's in Garry's last name. She asked how it could be that if the number of o's in his last name was less, then it would be more. Garry brooded over this mystical paradox all morning. Finally, letter in hand, he took a stroll through the garden and ended up at the post office where he forgave the befuddled postmaster for allowing such a letter to be delivered.

    BETTY WHITE Although she turned 90 in January, 2012, it won’t slow down comedy legend Betty White, one of the funniest and busiest actresses in Hollywood. With a career that has spanned more than 60 years, the seven-time Emmy Award winner has created unforgettable roles in television and film, authored seven books and won numerous awards, including those for her lifelong work for animal welfare. White’s first comedy series, “Life with Elizabeth,” brought her first Emmy Award in 1952, followed by a daily NBC talk/variety show called “The Betty White Show.” She was a recurring regular with over 70 appearances on “The Tonight Show with Jack Paar,” and appeared on “The Merv Griffin Show” and “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.” She also subbed as host on all three talk shows. White was a regular with Vicki Lawrence on “Mama’s Family,” as sister Ellen, a role she created with the rest of the company on “The Carol Burnett Show.” Her recurring role as “Happy Homemaker” Sue Ann Nivens in the classic series “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” brought two Emmys for Best Supporting Actress in 1974-75 and 1975-76. She received her fourth Emmy for Best Daytime Game Show Host for “Just Men.” Nominated seven times for Best Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Rose Nylund in “The Golden Girls,” White won the Emmy the first season in 1985, and later appeared in the spin-off “The Golden Palace” for one season. She earned her next Emmy Award as Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series on “The John Larroquette Show.” White was nominated for an Emmy in 2011 for her portrayal of “Elka,” the snarky but lovable caretaker on the TV Land series “Hot in Cleveland,” in which she stars alongside Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and Wendie Malick.
