To the Residents of Southfield:
Either by absentee ballot or at the primary election
on September 10, you will have an opportunity to choose your
Mayor for the coming four years. We have had the opportunity
of working with our Mayor, Donald Fracassi, over the last 13
years, and have found him to be a man totally committed to
Southfield as a community we can all be very proud of. Don has
had a special concern for the residents of our community and
has protected the quality of life in Southfield.
We believe very strongly that Mayor Fracassi should
again be given your support so that he can continue to provide
our city with the type of leadership it needs for the
foreseeable future.
We believe that it is imperative that you vote; and we
believe as strongly that it is imperative that you vote to
retain Donald Fracassi as our Mayor in Southfield.
Very truly yours,

Here we're dealing with people
of different cultures trying to
resolve their differences. It
seems like a more worthwhile
challenge.
"At first it was hard. But now
we're getting along so well and
we're really learning from one
another," says 17-year-old Is-
raeli Yoram Ta'ar of Ramla.
"We really admire them for how
easygoing they are. Israelis are
much shyer and more closed.
They're so open and adapt so
easily. They make us loosen up
a bit."
"And they're pretty talented,"
pipes in 16-year-old Asher
Kalifa of Ramla. "They seem to
be able to put on a play for any
occasion!"
As for the Detroiters, they
were most impressed by the
very warm atmosphere they
found in Israeli households.
"They managed to make me
feel like a daughter — even
though the parents don't speak
a word of English," says Jody.
"They're ready to do anything
for you." The other Americans
agreed.
"Israeli mothers, especially
ones from Eastern cultures are
like that," explains Naphtali.
"We tried to tell them to be a
little less overbearing. Most of
the Americans have mothers
who work. They're used to doing
their laundry and managing on
their own. But I could talk
these Israeli mothers for 4
years — it wouldn't help. It
just a different set of values."
Even eating is a source of cu
tural strife. "He doesn't eat
thing," says Yoram, pointing a
cusingly at his Detroit hous
guest, Matt May. "What?" pr
tests Matt. "You're always feed
ing me — 24 hours a day!"
"We warned them (the Israel
mothers) about that too," say
Naphtali. "To go easy on the
food — and the spice — at leas
for the first few days."
Eventually, most of the
Americans not only adapted t
the spicy dishes, but were eve]
asking when their next meal a
couscous (a traditional Orienta
dish) would be served.
In the end, though, there an
some differences that even Proj
ect Renewal just can't seem r,
overcome. "We tried to teacl
them baseball. They didn't lilt,
it very much," sighs Matt.
