'Be A Hero IMA Don't text while driving. Marlene Temkin Jewish News Intern MEET KADIMA ARTISTS My photography is a way of keeping all seasons at hand. I hide behind my camera when I'm nervous, or feel out of place. Flowers don't criticize you. - Jill (top right) I draw because I like to draw. I like it more when people pay me to draw. I don't just work with computers, you know. The art I draw may be disturbing and perhaps thought-provoking, but I am never in a sour mood when I draw. -Michael (bottom left) My art reflects who I am. That's why I like to draw. I have taken an interest in art since I was 15 years old. I paint pictures by myself without copying from photos. I use real fruit - oranges, grapefruit and lemons. I like nature scenes too. - Sharon (bottom right) ANNUAL KADIMA GOLF CLASSIC TO BENEFIT THE LOIS AND MILTON Y.

The winners of the contest were announced on May 15; one grand- prize winner received a $5,000 college scholarship, and 10 other winners received $2,000 scholarships. The contest was open to juniors and seniors in the Detroit Public School system, who could submit works of art in one of four categories: video, audio, graphic or essay. The grand-prize winner, Jakhari Tolbert, a senior at the Detroit School of Arts, created a video that opened with a voiceover from a local TV news Shir Tikvah Elects New Officers Congregation Shir Tikvah in Troy announced the recent election of the following officers for 2012-2013: president, Eileen Nowikowski; first vice president, Grace Laverdiere; second vice president, Rich Spitzer; recording secretary, Ira Firestone; report about a teenager killed while texting and driving and paired the reporter's words with sorrowful piano music and horrific images and video clips of accidents involving out-of- control cars on the road. The video ended with the tagline "Be a Hero, Don't Text While Driving!" Morse partnered with Detroit Public Schools, the Detroit Public Schools Foundation and United Way of Southeastern Michigan. "The students truly showcased their creativity in highlighting just how dan- gerous cell phone use while driving can be," Morse said. "I hope DPS students continue to use their talents to make a difference in our community" Morse, who opened the Michael J.
