When the Ilitch organization expressed interest in Palace Sports and Entertainment, as well as the Detroit Pistons, of the NBA, it had the potential to redefine "empire." While the Ilitch family may be world-class sports fanatics, they're clearly not crazy. They've never indicated any interest in the Detroit Lions!
That's the Point!

"Harsh" or "bad" weather is a matter of perspective. Personally, I savor days of 90+ degrees, because I never forget those long winter months of sub-0 temperatures and ankle-, or knee-deep snow that needs shoveling.
That's the Point!

I believe the Michigan Film Tax Credit is one of the most forward-looking actions our government has taken; and I believe it will play a significant role in diversifying the state's economy and help us rebound. And, having an established film industry in town gives us a little daily drama - and comedy - that's welcome entertainment!

When I think about the "plans" put forth by many of the candidates for governor to improve the economy, I'm reminded that few of them have ever had any success in the real world of business and commerce. They'd all benefit from taking the advice of anyone who has been successful in business - especially some smart kids from the neighborhood!

Too many rights? Too much freedom? The Founding Fathers believed that with our freedom and liberty came the responsibility to measure it wisely. In that respect - better too much than not enough!
That's the Point!

In the city of Taylor, there are three seasons relating to local elections - the primary season, the election season, and recall season. How do you tell them apart? Recall season is the longest!

This time of year, we're offered "July 4th Firecracker Savings" by clothing and electronics retailers, we see dancing Washingtons and Lincolns in TV ads touting "Revolutionary Savings!" on furniture, and we focus our own Independence Day celebrations on backyard grilling and beer consumption. Most of us forget that Independence Day is the annual remembrance of the birth of a great and noble idea; and the courage of the men who boldly signed the declaration that made that idea reality. It's OK to grill a few brats this weekend, and it's even OK to take advantage of a sale or two, just pause sometime this Independence Day and raise a beer in honor of our freedom.
That's the Point!

When tornadoes, electrical storms, flooding and power outages are routine as they are for Downriver residents, a little earthquake is hardly going to make us tremble!
That's the Point!
The News-Herald - June 23I love celebrating Cruisin' Downriver every year. Growing up Downriver in the 60s, my buddies and I all loved cars ... and car art. I spent hours with my friend Kurt Andrews, who lived in Southgate, drawing our versions of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth cars and dreaming about becoming great car customizers. This year I decided that in addition to celebrating Cruisin' Downriver, I'd also celebrate those terrific hours spent with Kurt, and the guy who inspired us.That's the Point!
