with them to the Elmwood Casino to
see wonderful entertainers like Sammy
Davis Jr.
"There was a Swedish restaurant,
name like Stockholm or Smorgasbord [it
was Stockholm] where some guy in a
bow tie shook my hand. I later found
out it was Gov. G. Mennen "Soapy"
Williams, and always wondered why he
never gave me a bow tie like they said he
gave other kids.
"One of my favorite memories was of
our driving downtown where I would
always marvel at the building of the
John C. Lodge Expressway.
"Another was being allowed to stay up
late on Friday night to watch the Soupy
Sales Show on television, and getting
such a big thrill when he would plug
Club 509 — even while getting a pie in
the face.
THE ROASTED CHICKEN and
kugel by Shirlee Bloom may be all peo-
ple say they are, but not much more
proof was needed than a couple of
lassies driving here from Cleveland
recently to have her popular dishes.
Last year, former Detroiter Vivian
Beresh celebrated her 86th birthday at
Bloom's Jewish Cuisine at Vineyards in
Farmington Hills ... For her recent 87th
birthday she was driven here by daugh-
ter Pricilla Goldstein ... to again have
the same roasted chicken and kugel
made by Shirlee Bloom.
RECENTLY HONORED with two
Los Angeles Press Club Journalism
Awards, former Detroit Mumford High
grad Norma Weitz Zager was a standup
comic for 14 years before becoming edi-
tor of the Beverly Hills Courier in
California.
But newspaper writing has always
been a part of her since graduating in
journalism from Wayne State ... and
working for the Oak Park News plus
writing profiles for the Detroit Jewish
News.
No printers' blood in Norma's blood
although her dad, Mark Weitz, who
lives in Bloomfield Hills with Norma's
mother, Harriet, was founder of
Detroit's Anchor Printing on Linwood
in 1948 ... before moving to Fenkell in
1950.
Mark is retired now and the small,
1,200-square-foot print shop ... was like
the beginning of today's 15,000-square-
foot Anchor Printing & Graphic
Services on Telegraph in Bloomfield
Hills ... run by their son Marty, who was
only 10 when an apprentice for dad.
Norma's awards were for Best
Investigative Series and as Journalist of
the Year 2003 ... for her work on the
real Erin Brockovich story portrayed
loosely in the movie with Julia Roberts.

A story in the Columbia Journalism
Review, which also hit the Wall Street
Journal told how Norma's reporting
exposed as what she describes as one big
toxic scam Brockovich's claim that oil
companies were causing cancer in a local
high school ... taking on the all-powerful
plaintiffs' attorneys ... and winning.
Norma also reported that a local TV
producer who had hyped the story had
received contributions during the pro-
ducer's run for-a city council seat from a
fellow council member who was head of
Brockovich's high-powered law firm.
THE SCORE CARD comes with his
good news as Morry Wasserman, former
founder, president and CEO of Home
Office Supply here, and wife, Richie,
were in the Scrabble Golf Tournament
at Florida's world-noted Inverrary Golf
& Country Club.
Now retired and living in Fort
Lauderdale, Morry followed par on the
first hole with a birdie oh number two
... The 133-yard par-three third hole
had traps all around it, and after teeing
off his 5-iron, the ball was nowhere to
be found ... Until Richie checked the
hole ... and discovered his first hole-in-
one.
They won the tourney ... with Morry
hitting eight pars, four birdies and the
ace ... en route to a very lovely 58 for
the 18 holes ... Par is 63.
CONGRATS ... To Avery and
Marilyn Warnick on their birthdays ...
both born on the same date, July 6.
MAKING ROUNDS of yesteryears
... To the Golden Carriage on Van Dyke
in Warren, to see Lainie Kazan, second
generation removed from Israel where
her mother was born ... To the Trio on
Northwestern in Southfield, now home
of the Jewish News, for chicken dabbed
constantly with the 12th Street Buddy's
sauce and cooked to order in the glass
barbecue room for all to see.
To Jakks Lounge on Greenfield in Oak
Park, to hear Joel Nash at the piano ...
To Scotch 'N Sirloin on Greenfield in
Detroit, to hear Carl Steger's ramblings
while tickling the piano keys ... To the
Atrium in Bingham Farms for what
Chef John Etchart said he had just con-
cocted ... veal topped by a sauce Etchart
called a French classic from Greek
mythology ... It was plain sour cream
with chopped Bermuda onions put in
for taste and then taken out.
To New York and an excellent four-
star meal at Quilted Giraffe owned by
ex-Detroiters Barry and Susan Wine,
whose parents, Iry and Lil Wine, owned
Barry's Surplus here.
