10th Annual 4/10"11""'t Flaisher realizes the major roads haven't kept up with modern times, but explained that a committee from West Bloomfield, Farmington Hills, the county and state has been studying a road-widening plan for five years. He wants to speed up its decisions, and foresees widening Maple Road from Orchard Lake Road to Haggerty in West Bloomfield — and even beyond through Walled Lake and Commerce to the eventual Haggerty Connector. Also slated for widening are parts of 14 Mile Road and Orchard Lake Road. "The problem is that there's $25 mil- lion available for all of those projects, but the cost may be more like $80 mil- lion," Flaisher said. "Also, I oppose widening if it will pollute some of our 26 lakes" — more lakes than in any U.S. township, except one in Minnesota. Other successful Jewish candidates in West Bloomfield races were incum- bents Judith Holtz and Ruth Keller joining Maxine Brickner on the six- member Library Board, and Gerald Sukenic (Democrat) and incumbent Laurie Buchman and Judy Share-Vine (Republicans) on the seven-member Parks & Recreation Commission. Sukenic, a newcomer, garnered the most votes, 16,364, for the four-year term, which pays $85 per meeting attended. Stuart Brickner pointed to Sen. Joseph Lieberman's vice presidential candidacy on the Democratic Party ticket as a big factor in stirring up the Jewish vote in West Bloomfield. "I'm proud of our candidates of the Jewish faith," Brickner said. "We demon- strated that we can hang right in there, and we made a strong showing." ❑ SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 12 P.M. - 2 P.M.
