He hasn't looked back very of- ten. Mr. Katz is somewhat reluc- tant to talk about being a sur- vivor. Actually, he'd rather talk about the thrill of buying produce each day or the direction of the stock market, rather than how he once rigged a bridge with dy- namite and blew apart 45 Nazi trains. His memories remain in a tightly bound scrapbook which he seldom opens. The voices of his father, mother, brother and sister are sometimes too painful to recall. From his perch behind his sec- ond-floor office window over- looking the Produce Palace floor, Mr. Katz observes the customers and keeps track of which items are selling. Meanwhile, Mr. Yarsike works the floor, balances the personnel and inventory and prepares a list of items to buy during his trek to the Produce Terminal in the morning. It's been a long time since he's gone door to door. "It's all special," Mr. Yarsike said of his business. "There's something about produce com- ing from the ground. There's a respect for nature, the farmer, for God. We wake up and thank God for our health and being able to get out of bed and do some- thing we love." ❑ Developer Is Putting Down Roots In Detroit JULIE EDGAR STAFF WRITER Practically Everything INSWI•MCI ticed a "for lease" sign in the win- dow of a large warehouse space, which had been neglected and nearly condemned. At the time, Mr. Katz was negotiating to buy and sublease the property. Soon thereafter, Mr. Katz discarded the notion of a nonworking re- tirement, bought the shopping center and opted for a silent part- nership with Mr. Yarsike. He was back in the produce busi- ness. Today, Mr. Katz can be seen at the Produce Palace unloading the crates from semis, mopping the floors, or corralling the shop- ping carts in the parking lot. "His energy and passion for the business is inspiring," Mr. Yarsike said. "When we walk through the market, he's always three or four steps ahead of me." Moving at top speed just might be the only pace for Mr. Katz, a Bloomfield Hills resident. He not only runs his business that way — he survived the onslaught of the Nazis by sheer ingenuity and guts. Today, he has become more philosophical about his days as a youth when, as a member of the underground resistance in Poland, he fought alongside Russian soldiers against the in- vading Germans. "My experience is greater than my education," he said. "I just wanted to get somewhere." Simple survival may have been his initial goal during the Nazi occupation of Poland, but 74e Volt VAgoet.41 & '7 Salelier .544# ocal residential de- veloper Bernard Glieberman is no dreamer, but he is something of a pioneer. His Novi company, Crosswinds Communities, is about to launch a major residential development in downtown Detroit — the first for-sale housing pro- ject in the lower Woodward corridor since the 1930s. Woodward Place at Brush Park, located north of I-75 between Beaubien and Woodward, will fea- ture 562 Victorian town and terrace homes. Al- ready, 125 interested buy- ers are on a waiting list, Mr. Glieberman said. He expects the 2-bed- room units, which include a 2-car garage and bay windows, to be ready for occupancy next fall.
