Remains A Mystery
Fact is, more Americans
may die by the fork than by
any other weapon. That's
because so many of them
use it irresponsibly. Like
to fill up on high-fat, high-
cholesterol foods. Foods
that can load the blood with
cholesterol, which can build
up plaque in their arteries,
increasing their risk of
heart attacks and threaten-
ing their lives. So next time
you pick up a fork, remem-
ber to handle it as you
would any other weapon.
For self-defense, not

W
ien Southfield voters
left the polls on Tues-
day, they sent a clear
message to some of their
city council members.
Unofficial results from the
Southfield City Council race in-
dicated Sidney Lantz, Vicki Gold-
baum and Joan Seymour, the
incumbents up for reelection, took
a commanding lead in the Sept.
12 primary.
While Mr. Lantz walked away
with the most votes, 3,481, Ms.
Goldbaum and Ms. Seymour were
not far behind in their totals.
Thirteen candidates, the high-
est number in recent years, began
the race for four council seats. Five
were eliminated this week.
Other candidates advancing to
the general election are Sharkey
Haddad, Myron Frasier, Nida
Samona, John Reeves and Toby
Hollander.
Only 249 votes separated Mr.
Haddad, with 1,741 votes the
highest vote-getting non-incum-
bent, from Ms. Hollander, who se-
cured the eighth and final slot.
Southfield voters will return to
the polls on Nov. 7 for the gener-
al election.
