Lubavitch School
Looking For Votes
Oholei Yosef Yitzchak Lubavitch of Oak
Park, known as the Lubavitch Cheder,
placed 34th in the recent Chase
Community Giving Program. The top
100 charities in Round 1 will receive a
$25,000 grant from Chase.
The Lubavitch Cheder has two loca-
tions in Oak Park — one for girls on
Coolidge Highway; one for boys on
Nine Nine Mile Road. The schools
together have 200 students in grades
K-12. High school students come
from 17 states and 10 countries. "The
$25,000 will be used to help provide
scholarships to the many children who
can not afford to pay full tuition:' said
Mendel Stein, school spokesman.
Now the school has a chance to win
a $500,000 grant as Round 2 begins
May 19. Each organization has the
option to present a "Big Idea" for using
the $500,000.
The Lubavitvch Cheder's idea is
called "Hands Down," an anti-bullying
program that has self-determination
components designed to impart the
confidence that will enable students
to act as advocates by giving them the
skills and tools to teach other students
in schools at high-risk of bullying situ-
ations and behaviors.
Voting takes place on Facebook
through May 25. Go to www..votefive.

Ball Field Shifts
From Clover Hill
A dispute between Clover Hill Park
Cemetery in Birmingham and Brother
Rice Catholic High School has been
settled over the threat of a law suit.
Brother Rice wanted to build a base-
ball diamond on vacant land north-
west of the cemetery. The location, off
Eaton and Lincoln (14 1/2 Mile) was
within 300 yards of the cemetery on 14
Mile west of Coolidge.
The cemetery and the school had
been negotiating since January over the
site, with cemetery officials contending
that noise from baseball games would
interfere with burial services.
Birmingham officials supported the
school, which would have used four
acres of the site for the ball field and
given two acres to the city for a park.
Brother Rice President John Birney
said the school decided to back away
from the site after cemetery officials
indicated that negotiations had not led
to an acceptable compromise and that
the cemetery would sue if the plan went
forward.
The cemetery, owned by
Congregation Shaarey Zedek in
Southfield, was built in 1918 and has
13,000 plots on its 60 acres, according
to Ralph Zuckman, executive director.
Brother Rice, which is located on
Lahser Road at Lincoln, has played its
home games for 43 years at St. James
Park, next to the Birmingham YMCA
on Lincoln west of Woodward.
