ALAN ABRAMS Special to the Jewish News T wo area Jews are spearheading the recently announced com- mitment by the Detroit- Windsor Tunnel to increase capacity at the international border crossing by 25 percent by December. Daniel Cherrin of Berkley is the advo- cate and lobbyist for the Detroit and Canada Tunnel Corporation, operators of the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. Neal Belitsky of Saline is the tunnel's vice president and general manager. On Dec. 17, both met in Detroit with Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan and U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge. The agenda was to challenge the local border operators to improve traffic flow at North America's busiest border cross- ings. More than one-third of all trade between the United States and Canada passes through the Detroit-Windsor connection, the tunnel being the busiest passenger crossing with a significant commercial component. "We're confident we can do it," says Cherrin of the 12-month deadline. "Some of the methods we'll use include constructing and staffing a second com- mercial lane and secondary commercial inspection area." Both Cherrin and Belitsky played key roles in the days after 9-11 brought increased government scrutiny to the vital role of the tunnel as well as its potential as a target for terrorism. And the next time that Cherrin and Belitsky sit down with the U.S. secretary of homeland security, they will find another Jew at the table. President Bush has nominated federal Judge Michael Chertoff to succeed Ridge in the cabinet post. Cherrin, 32, graduated from West Bloomfield High School in 1991. He earned a political science degree from the University of Michigan and his law degree from Michigan State University- Detroit College of Law. He specializes in U.S.-Canadian relations, legislative advocacy, federal campaign finance and election law, regulation of lobbying, grassroots advocacy and public policy communication strategies. After practicing law at a small firm in Southfield for a year, Cherrin was the lobbyist for the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce from 1999 to 2003. He helped bring the group to an international level by establishing an office in Washington, D.C. Cherrin is currently vice president of public policy and government procure- ment and managing director of strategic TUNNEL VISION on page 52 COMING SOON: • TKO • Adrenaline • Sweat Power Revolution • Equilibrium • Omar's Challenge • Scotty's Buck Wild • CAT with Felix • Pure Energy • High Voltage • Basic Kickboxing with Julian Loredo Give Powerhouse a try — FREE one-week introductory offer*!
