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 self-destruction.

JENNIFER FINER STAFF WRITER 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. ❑ Early Deadlines The Jewish News has early deadlines for the issues of Sept. 29 and Oct. 6: Display ads Deadline is 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 22, for the Sept. 29 issue and 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 29, for the Oct. 6 issue.
