West Bloomfield's Heated Race
Highlights Primary On Tuesday

Township has once
again entered the
limelight in the 1988
municipal election.
At issue is the burgeoning
growth of this 42,000-person
municipality with a large ,
Jewish population and a
citizen revolt by a small, yet
forceful lobbying group that
claims its purpose is to save
the community . from
overdevelopment.
The Organizations United
to Save the Township (OUST)
says the government is too
pro-development and takes
credit for the recent resigna-
tions of three elected officials
— former Township Super-
visor John Doherty, who suf-
fers serious health problems;
former trustee Betty Sue
Dupree, who since has moved
out of state; and former
trustee Jeff Leib, who has
launched a campaign for the
Oakland County prosecutor
spot. The three resigned this
past year during a recall drive
spearheaded by OUST.
Now voters will choose from
one of the largest slates of
candidates in Oakland Coun-
ty's primary as 33 residents
fight it out to secure four-year
terms of office within the
township government. Voters
will select candidates for
supervisor, clerk, treasurer
and four trustees.
Voters throughout Oakland
County will go to the polls to
nominate Democratic and
Republican candidates for
partisan offices such as
Oakland County offices, U.S.
senator, U.S. representative
and state representatives and
the nonpartisan state Court
of Appeals (which has two
new judgeships), Oakland
County probate judge and
some local District Court
judgeships.
Polls will be open Tuesday
from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m.
In West Bloomfield, where
candidates for most township
offices are all Republican,
winners of the primary will
be uncontested in the Nov. 8
general election.
OUST is backing new-
comers Sandra Draur for
supervisor and Judith Holtz
and Kathleen Haack for
trustees. Other candidates
are:
Supervisor — Ronald Ber-
man, Lawrence Friedman,
Vincent Cytacki and incum-
bent Dorothy McIntosh.
Trustees — incumbents
Gordon Allardyce, Raymond
Holland and Dennis Vatsis
and newcomers Dr. Herbert
Bloom, William Dotterrer,
Douglas Hoxie, Henry Leeds,
Patrick McGinty, Olga Meyer
and G. Kenneth Poye. Twelve
Democratic and Republican
candidates also are running
for six, four year terms for the
parks and recreation
commission.
Bloom, married to Oakland
County Circuit Court Judge
Alice Gilbert, says his
humanitarian activities
throughout the world would
help insure an adequate pat-
tern of growth in a township
plagued by divergent views.
Voters living in Bloomfield
township — the other
municipality which com-
prises a large Jewish popula-
tion — also will be asked to
nominate respective party
candidates for the general
election. Voters can choose
Republican or Democratic
candidates, but can not
nominate contenders for both
parties.
No one is challenging in-
cumbents in Bloomfield
Township, who will be un-
contested in the primary and
in the Nov. 8 general election.
In the race for U.S. Senator,
former U.S. Rep. Jim Dunn of
East Lansing will battle it
out with Robert Huber of Troy
for the Republican nomina-
tion. The winner will face
longtime Democratic Sen.
Donald Riegle Jr., who is
unopposed in the primary.
For U.S. representative
district 17, both Republican
Dennis Flessland of Hun-
tington Woods and Rep.
Sander Levin, D-Southfield,
are unopposed in the primary.
In the 18th Congressional
District, Democrat Gary
Kohut of Troy and incumbent
Rep. William Broomfield, R-
Birmingham, also are unop-
posed in the primary.
State Sen. Lana Pollack, D-
Ann Arbor, faces University
of Michigan economics pro-
fessor Dean Baker in the
Democratic primary for the
state's second Congressional
District. The winner will try
to unseat six-term
Republican Rep. Carl Pursell.
All Jewish members of the
Michigan House of Represen-
tatives — Maxine Berman, D-
Southfield, David Honigman,
R-West Bloomfield, Burton
Leland, D-Detroit, and David
Gubow, D-Huntington Woods
— are unopposed in the
primary.
Clerk — incumbent Sharon
Law.
- Treasurer — Thrry Gibbons,
Denise Hammond and Paul
Kilar.

Hopefuls Seek Patterson's Job

eff Leib wants to lessen
the trauma faced by
crime victims when
telling their story.
"I believe there is tremen-
dous insensitivity towards
victims of child molestation
and women abuse," Leib said.
He has proposed a prosecu-
tion team in which the victim
will be assigned to one assis-
tant prosecutor, establish a
relationship with the assis-
tant, and thus take the agony
out of retelling the crime to
j
several "strangers!'
A former West Bloomfield
trustee, Leib faces three other
Republican contenders —
chief prosecutor Dick Thomp-
son, state Sen. Richard
Fessler and Commissioner
Jack McDonald — in the race
for Oakland County pro-
secutor this year. The winner
of Tuesday's primary will
meet Democrat Barry
Kraemer in November.
It's the first time in 16
years that a new prosecutor
will serve Oakland County.
Outspoken Prosecutor L.
Brooks Patterson, incumbent
.
since 1972, has decided not to
seek re-election.
McDonald, Oakland Coun-
ty commissioner, worked in
the prosecutor's office from
1970 to 1973. He says his
campaign is strong because
he adds valuable experience
in the courtroom, not just in
administration.
"Anyone who runs for pro-
secuting attorney has to be
consistent, tough and fair. I'd
like to do the job quietly and
to the best of my ability."
McDonald said.
Thompson has worked with
Patterson since the beginning
