The dream beneficiaries will be cho- sen from the Fleischman Residence, the Hechtman and Meer Jewish Apartments and Regent Street in West Bloomfield, and Heritage of Southfield and the Park at Trowbridge in Southfield. The JHAS Foundation will provide $5,000-$8,000 to get the program started, according to Rosenberg, but donations are being sought to carry out all of the eventual dreams. Ilene Blaz, owner of Legacy Jewelry in Birmingham, said she will donate 10 percent of all purchases if customers mention the DreamWeavers project. Margolick recalls a dream fulfilled for a blind woman in her late 80s in Atlanta. "She went on six roller coast- ers at the Six Flags Over Georgia Amusement Park and had a fantastic time," she said. All local stories and dreams will be chronicled in a book to be prepared by volunteers Lindsay Dembs and Ashley Oleshansky, both of Franklin. The book will be presented at a DreamWorkers showcase event at the end of next year. Helping coordinate the program for the JHAS Foundation are Gerry Margolis of West Bloomfield and Hannah Moss of Huntington Woods.

Easy Bathroom Access The Michigan House passed House Bill 5046 to clear the way for it to become law; Gov. Granholm was expected to enthusiastically sign it into law. The law requires establishments to open employee-only restrooms to customers who show a statement on a prescription form indicating they are pregnant or suffer from Crohn's dis- ease, ulcerative colitis, another inflam- matory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome or any medical condition requiring immediate access to a toilet. Huntington Woods resident Jill Sklar, a former Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America Michigan chapter trustee, was instrumental in working with state Rep. Andy Meisner, D-Ferndale, in drafting and introduc- ing the original bill. Meisner, who was term limited, will become Oakland County treasurer in July. Other key advocates of the bill include state Sen. Gilda Jacobs, D- Huntington Woods, state Sen. Michael Bishop, R-Rochester, and Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson.
