CONVENIENTLY LOCATED
UNDER ONE ROOF.
past December ... It was designed by
the brother of Gary Sussman, owner
with wife Lorraine Platman of Sweet
Lorraine ... Stephen Sussman and his
partner Howard Ellman of Stephen
Sussman Architects and Associates ...
Gary and Lorraine's first restaurant is
on Greenfield in Southfield and the
second in the Livonia Marriott at
Laurel Park in Livonia.
A TABLE OVERFLOWED with
gifts that one would think he was born
to open a store.
But little Gabriel Dean Kuchersky
was having his bris and probably say-
ing, "You can have it all. Just give
some more of that delicious wine."
About 200 attended the ritual cere-
mony and reception festivities.
Gabriel is the new son of Roman
and Lydia Kuchersky, Mike and
Maya's son and daughter-in-law.
Naturally, it was held at Fiddler's
banquet room next door to Mike's
Fiddler restaurant ... just like Gabe's
big brother Adrian Jacob, three years
ago. About 100 of the guests were
family ... and the other friends ... with
spas seemingly taking over the atten-
dance scene.
Tamara and Eugene Friedman, own-
ers of Tamara's Spa in Farmington
Hills, came direct from the airport and
their vacation to Cancun, Mexico ...
Aryana Itkis and Olga Kotikowsky,
boss-ladies of L'Aryola Spa in West
Bloomfield ... Maya Kuchersky and
mother Anna Platner, owners of
Maya's in West Bloomfield ... plus
Jane Kotikovsky, facials at Tamara's;
Galina Pavlov, facials at Emile's in
Southfield; and 10 gals from Maya's ...
among the beauty givers.
Little Gabriel didn't realize it, but he
also helped grandpa Mike showcase
his new salads now at the Fiddler .
restaurant ... a multitude of good tast-
ing mixtures quite different than the
norm ... plus a display of Russian and
American food that had a lot of folks
up for buffet seconds and thirds.
A lot of food, a bevy of fun and
vodka and cranberry juice flowing
faster than the Volga River in a rain
torrent.
START SAVING YOUR old used
jeans for the soon-to-come Jean Trade-
In-Clothing Drive by Guys-N-Gals in
West Bloomfield's Orchard Mall on
Orchard Lake Road and 15 Mile.
It's the 15th annual by owners Lois
Levenson and Julie Feldman ... who'll
again take in used jeans (clean without
holes) and give a new one at half price
... then donate the trade-ins to
Oakland County's homeless.
Date is Saturday, June 12, 10 a.m.-8
p.m., so clean your closets of unwant-
ed items ... even toys, bedding, small
furniture, etc., for a welcomed tax
deduction too.
Last year, more than 500 pairs of
jeans and hundreds of other bags of
clothing and household items were col-
lected. Begin checking out your closets
now, folks ... what you can't use any-
more will bring tears of thanks from
the homeless in Oakland County.
THIS WAS THE second year that
folks of Federation's Michigan Miracle
Mission had salamis to eat on the El
Al plane and while in Israel ... 450
were donated by Doreen Hermelin,
Sid and Rose Neuman of Star Deli
and 2004 mission co-chairsmen Dr.
Richard Krugel and Peter Alter ... The
first mission in 1993, had three planes
full of travelers, with Sid, Doreen and
her late husband, David, providing
1,180 salamis.
THAT WASN'T JUST something
he had for someone at the recent
Karmanos Cancer Foundation shindig,
says Howard Camden ... The brown _
bag he carried was for his brother
Andrew Camden, downtown at anoth-
er affair ... four rainbow trout fishies
Howard caught while in Wyoming ...
kept frozen in the bag with blue ice ...
Not bad ... delivery of fish while wear-
ing a tuxedo. .
I KNEW THAT HE was an auto
lover ... old, new and racing cars ...
but I didn't realize how much ... Frank
Ellias' limited edition Pontiac Firebird .
called a Firehawk that he shows and
races, even has its own computer
website www.badhawk.com ... and an
e mail address frank@badhawk.com
HOPEFULLY THE laugh getters
will return ... but for the present, hang
on to those swell jokes you've been
sending ... The Jewish News folks have
the weekly "Korn Korner" on hold for
space reasons. E
