surgery for years," he said, adding that there may even be more clin- ics than patients in Canada. While Dr. Segel believes PRK will replace RK as the surgery of choice for myopics, Dr. Beitman believes RK surgery is here to stay. However, "I'm real excited about laser and specifically set- ting up centers and letting sur- geons come in and perform the procedure," he said. Each of Vision Sculpting's 22 planned clinics will have a VISX laser, which costs roughly $525,000. Dr. Segel said they've projected they'll do between 600 and 750 eyes during the first year of business and somewhere around 2,000 eyes by the fifth year in each of the clinics. The Summit laser, also de- signed to correct nearsighted- ness, has been approved by the FDA. ❑ A Living Legacy For Favorite Uncle Single up front payment. 24 month lease. PAUL L. GABA SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS win brothers Michael and Ken Shecter remember a lot about their uncle, Ronald Smiler. They also remem- ber a lot about the generosity and kindness shown to Mr. Smiler by the Jewish Association for Resi- dential Care (JARC), which pro- vided the assistance to allow their uncle to live in a virtually self-sup- porting environment. So when the Farmington Hills brothers were presented with the opportunity to help out JARC, it was pure plea- sure. The result: a donat- ed re-landscaping of JARC's Berlin Home in Bloomfield Township. T Names: Ken and Michael Shecter Occupation: Owners of Shecter Landscaping Company Family: Parents, Joann, and Ben, who died in May. Ken's wife is Sandy; chil- dren are Jacob and Mitchell. Michael's wife is Kitty; children are Celia and Joseph Activities: Members of Con,- gregation Shaarey Zedek B'nai Israel Center; bowling; golf; B'nai B'rith baseball "Our uncle was not in this home, but he was part of the JARC program," said Ken Shecter, co-owner with Michael of the Commerce Township-based Shecter Landscaping Co. "They took care of him from the time I didn't even know JARC existed," Ken said. JARC counselors would visit Mr. Smiler to make sure he was doing all right, Mr. Shecter said, but for the most part, he was able to care for himself "He worked at Tiger Stadium selling Cokes for a long time," he said. "Because he was a recipient of JARC services for years, we felt it was appropriate to give back to JARC what it gave to us." The Shecter twins, age 32, started, their business in .1983 with the help of $2,000 from He- brew Free Loan, which they were able to repay within the year. "It was a very small business at the time, and when you're 20 years old, $2,000 is a large amount," Mr. Shecter said. 'When we first started out, we were most- ly mowing lawns and planting a bush here and there. But over the last seven years, we have gone more to planting. Now, we're al- most all landscaping." 24 months 24,000 Miles 1996 SEDAN DEVILLE Stk#215985 Eldorado Single up front payment. 24 month lease. 24 months 24,000 miles 1996 ELDORADO Stk#603386 Seville SLS Seville SLS The Shecter brothers green and preen the landscape. As design-builder-landscapers, the Shecters are working on new projects with residential develop- ers like Herman Frankel. Today they have a dozen accounts that generate sales of over $1 million annually — a figure beyond Mr. Shecter's wildest dreams. "This was started to provide enough business to work my way through college. That was the ini- tial concept," he said. "We had no idea it was going to evolve like this." Today, the company employs 25 people. The Shecters still offer snow- removal services and are looking to add product sales to their busi- ness. The Berlin Home landscape project was born out of JARC's "Business Buddies" program. The Shecters learned about the pro- gram from a customer, JARC board member. Joel Jacob.
