More than 40 years ago, President John F Kennedy implored the nation’s youth to “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country’ With deadlines for filing application to run for public office looming, perhaps it’s appropriate* to paraphrase the late president in terms of what residents can do for Plymouth Township and the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools district People wishing to run for the Plymouth-Canton Board of Education have until April 12 to make that decision and get 40 signatures on a petition You can pay a $100 fee to get around the 40-signature requirement, but maybe if you don’t know 40 people willing to support you, you should rethink the idea of running m the first place Thinking about running for the Plymouth Township Board of Trustees?

M s comments 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 Bible 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 overfycritical of others especially behind their backs are wrong and can become habit forming However kind words are good for the soul and help to build a person up

Saint Damian School Livonia Why waste our money? Why destroy lives of innocent people? Do we really have IRAQ Agree with the troops: I think that the troops should be in Iraq because to fight war? We really need to shape up, and think of what’s good for us and the rest they are helping the people take back their country. The Iraqi people are of the world. happy that our soldiers captured Saddam Hussein. After the government is Although removing Saddam Hussein would be better for all of us, what impact working and the country is put back together, then our troops can come would it have on our lives? Many people think that sending troops to Iraq to fight the war on terror, but is that really true? It is a fact that Saddam Hussein became a major home.The Iraqi people are grateful for ail that the United States has done for threat to the stability of the Middle Eastern countries, but is it worth risking so many them. lives to just get rid of one Saddam? Honorable Mention By sending troops to Iraq we are wasting so many things like time and money. We have spent over 100 million dollars on the war on terror, but people in the U.S. are Amy Stefanovski, Saint Damian School Livonia already losing their jobs and we have to pay higher taxes in order to meet the various expenses towards food, shelter and other needs of the American soldiers there. TIE Many countries are already asking “Why is the U.S. butting into other people’s FIRST PLACE -7th to 9th GRADE business without any hard evidence that Saddam has weapons of mass destruction9” Ryan Staniszewski I greatly appreciate the service that the troops are doing in Iraq, but they should Emerson School, Livonia really stop and think about the feelings of their families back here in the U.S. That’s why Americans should stop sending troops to Iraq. I think the troops in Iraq are doing a good job. I appreciate what the troops are doing. My opinion, though, is that the war was a bad idea. This is how i support my position. We lost too many soldiers because our president lied to the U.S.A. We still haven’t found any weapons of mass Varsha Koduvayur destruction and the country of Iraq didn’t attack our country directly before. Meadows Upper Elementary School Rochester Hills In addition, we have alienated the UN (United Nations). i really appreciate what the troops are doing in Iraq. It feels good to know that I’m There are some reasons why I agree with what we did and what we are safe I agree and support the reasons we sent troops to Iraq. If there are any doing. Saddam was a big threat because he had ties to terrorist terrorists in Iraq, the troops are there to capture them. Some people might disagree organizations. After what happened on 9/11, the president probably with me wouldn’t tolerate any more terronsm. Also, the people of Iraq didn’t have You may be thinking, “Stop butting into other people’s business,” and that, too, is many rights or freedom, but I still disagree with the war in Iraq. reasonable. Maybe we should let other people handle their own business. But all the In conclusion, we should make sure the statements of the president are same, it’s good that troops are there. The jeopardy isn’t over until we track down true so this doesn’t happen again. Why did our president tie to the country? Osama Bin Laden and his group of terrorists.

He tortured those o f different religions and backgrounds. Such evil lingered in Iraq for over twenty years. I thank you for ending that evil and allowing a child, like me, somewhere in f FIRST PLACE - 10th to 12th GRADE Iraq, to go to school and live a better life. , . . t r You risked everything: your family, your normal habits, and even your life. Maureen K. Gilmour One requires a great amount of courage to make those ultimate sacrifices. Seaholm High School, Birmingham Every second of your stay there, you are faced with grave dangers. Terronsts on the streets blowing up whole buildings, murderers looting and plundering Many children command mock battles in their backyards with Super Soakers and everyone they see, and even confused civilians, brainwashed for two information they learn from admiring the soldiers they see on television and read about decades. But if anyone can stop that madness, that person is you. Every on the internet. A soldier is defined in Merriam Webster’s Dictionary as, “an enlisted one of your fellow Amencans back home are cheering you on. Go and win man or woman.” This definition hardly grasps the true meaning of the word, though. A your ultimate battle. US soldier personifies the qualities of honor, justice, and courage while they selflessly defend the United States against the threats of the modern world. Honorable Mention When the United States received intelligence that Saddam Hussein possessed Andreana Masters, Boulan Park Middle School Troy weapons of mass destruction, it was their every right to free the world of this dictator who used the tools of fear and torture to accomplish his goals. The soldiers serving in Iraq have not only made the world safer, but they stand for freedom and prove that the United States will not fall to terrorism or fear, and will fight gallantly to stand for freedom. I hope one day to become an Air Force officer so I may get the opportunity to James and Jennifer entered two very good cartoons and we defend our country, it is because of the men and women serving in Iraq that many of wanted to share them with you: my fnends also aspire to be soldiers when they are older. The servicemen's display of courage and honor sets an example for civilians and soldiers alike - a country as great as the United States can only prosper in the world, and many people commend the C w T iw jw , servicemen in Iraq for displaying that message every day they fight for freedom.

What do you get when you mix papier- mach£, umbrella skeletons and other pro­ saic ingredients with a bit of Old World storytelling magic and let it simmer m the heart of Detroit? The PuppetART Detroit Puppet Theater - a center of imagination and color that rivets audiences with tales from places as diverse as Russia, West Africa and Japan Founded six years ago by three Russian immigrants, the theater performs weekly for general audiences and more frequently for schools and other groups In the cur­ rent season, the troupe has played week after week to full or overflow crowds m its cozy theater that seats 70 Firebird, based on a Russian story, fea­ tures rod puppets - the land that are sup­ ported by sticks held by people hidden behind a wall Depending on the puppet, a variety of rods and levers under its clothes can make hands and legs move and eyes roll Like almost all the theater s puppets and sets, the firebird is the work of Inna Baranovskaya, one of PuppetARTs three founders In addition to traditional mate- nals like papier-mache and foam, she also incorporates objects from everyday life such as umbrellas, milk jugs and straw baskets into her creations Both Baranovskaya and her husband, Igor Gozman, the theaters artistic direc­ tor, worked m puppet theaters in Russia They came to the United States in 1990 and soon made their new home m Southfield, working at everything but puppetry Eventually, they teamed up with Lyudmila Mikheyenko to create PuppetART Today, the three founders are joined by a handful of volunteers and actors brought in for particular shows
