OUR VIEWS City does job with tall grass Summer hadn't even started, when Westland residents started complaining about the tall grass on vacant prop erties in their neighborhoods. Inundated with complaints, the mayor and city council moved quickly to find a solution — getting the lawnmow- ers rolling when grass was eight inches high and billing the property owners, even if it meant putting it on their tax bills. The city also brought in contractors to keep up with mowing and the end result is evident — a substantial drop in complaints from more than 300 early in the sea son to less than 20 now. What happened in June was a nothing less than city government at its finest. City officials who may not see eye-to-eye on some things set aside their differences to solve a problem, one that is plaguing communities around the metropolitan area and the state. These are not good times in Michigan. People are losing their jobs and their homes. Cities and school dis tricts are having to do more with less. In spite of those drawbacks, city officials found a way to get the job done. We applaud city officials' swift response to the prob lem. Westland residents take pride in their homes, their city and their schools. You need only drive down a resi dential street and see that pride in the neatly manicured lawns and well-tended flower beds. We also applaud residents who took the initiative to LETTERS keep the lawns of vacant homes mowed after the city knocked down the tall grass.

They "started reel ing off things to put in the book." Renas had done a lot of research on Michigan tour ism for AAA, a big help. The Internet has been a big help as well. Semion's also a freelance journalist who does writing on the outdoors and travel on his own time. He writes for Great Lakes Angler magazine, and also for Woods and Water News, "whoever will have me." The first Michigan family fun book was 156 pages, while the newest one, a complete update which is available at local bookstores, is about 300, divided into different regions of Michigan. Semion's visited many of the attrac tions, including the close-to- home Plymouth Orchards cider mill many times, as well as the Motown Historical Museum in Detroit. "Of course, I ride my bike down Hines Drive a lot. I'm very familiar with this area." The Michigan native grew up in Nankin Township with a Plymouth address, in the area that's now Westland. He con sidered Plymouth his home town back in those days when there wasn't a lot out here. "My parents would take us up on vacation to the east side of the state, which is kind of an undiscovered area for people," he said. Semion remembers the Mackinac Bridge linking the Upper and Lower Peninsulas — mark ing its 50th anniversary this year —- going up when he was a boy. "I barely remember going over the straits in a ferry." He got his hand slammed in a ferry door, so that memory stuck. "There are lots of great things for families to do," Semion said of Michigan. "In a lot of ways, it's changed for the better." If you ski and get tired at Boyne Mountain, there's the big Avalanche Bay waterpark there. "There are lots of outdoor things people can do," said Semion, who enjoys many outdoor activities. He pre fers the quieter, more rustic campgrounds. "It's just a great place to get away." Wife Denise helped with advice on the Metroparks. Semion has two adult chil dren, 30 and 31, and stepsons, 23 and 15. He wanted the book, which includes basics like hours, days open, phone numbers, addresses and Web sites, to appeal to all. "I made sure to put things in there adults could enjoy too." He cited the Cabela's store near Monroe which has a water- park nearby attached to a Holiday Inn Express.
