Snyder sworn in as state's governor
48th governor
talks unity,
transformation in
inaugural address
By JOSEPH LICHTERMAN
Daily News Editor
LANSING - Republican Gov.
Rick Snyder ushered in a new era
in Michigan's government today,
as he was sworn in as the state's
48th governor here on the Capitol
steps.
In his inaugural address, Sny-
der said Michigan has a "bright
future."
"This election was a point of
realization," Snyder said. "The
old ways don't work. It's time to
start a new era in the state's his-
tory."
Instead of mentioning specif-
ics, Snyder spoke grandiosely,
imploring Michiganders to stop
fighting among themselves and
instead work together.
"We need to put party and
geography aside and come
together as Michiganders to rein-
vent our state," Snyder said.
Snyder outlined his four key
objectives to reinvent Michi-
gan. He said the state needs to
increase innovation in the glob-
ally competitive market, create
new jobs, ensure a better future
for the youth and not leave its cit-
izens behind in the reinvention.
"Let ,today be the birth of a
new chapter in Michigan's histo-
ry," Snyder said. "Let today be the
birth of the era of innovation and
the reinvention of Michigan."
Snyder continued on to say
technology isn't the only neces-
sity for innovation. He said the
right mindset is needed, adding
that he purposefully set high
expectations for himself.
"It is time to solve problems
and create opportunities," Sny-
der said. "It is also time to be
bold.I've been cautioned by many
that expectations are already too
high. We shouldn't walk away
from high expectation. It's time
to deliver on high expectations."

can who has never held elected

Republicans, were also sworn
Calley, echoing Snyder's ear-
r speech, said the state govern-

ichigan, are crucial for rebuild-
g the state.
"As citizens of this state, each
us has a role to play in the rein-
vention of Michigan," Calley said.
In their remarks, Johnson
and Schuette each spoke with
a more partisan tone. Johnson
quoted former President Ronald
Reagan's first inaugural address,
while Schuette said the day
marked "Morning in Michigan"
- playing on Reagan's "Morning
in America" television advertise-
ment from the 1984 presidential
campaign.
"The people want asafer Mich-
igan," Schuette said. "A safer
Michigan with less government,
less taxes, less spending, more
pay checks and more freedom."
University Regents Andrea .

and Andrew Richner (R-Grosse

other state officials to be sworn
in.
Newman and Richner - who
will serve their third and second
terms respectively - were sworn
in by Kelly at the same time as
the Trustees of Michigan State
University and the Governors of
Wayne State University.
After being sworn in, Richner
shouted "Go Blue!" - earning a
hearty chuckle from the crowd.
Store owner
attributes closure
to competition and
changing industry
By ADAM RUBENFIRE
Daily StaffReporter
Students may have to venture
farther from campus if they need
to repair their shoes or ice skates,
since a long-standing campus
shoe repair shop closed its doors
last week.
After 70 years of business at
607 E. William Street, College
Shoe Repair stopped operations
on Friday. Store owner Dorothy
Brown cited skate repair com-
petition and an increased use of
plastics in the shoe industry as
problems that prevented the store
from making enough profit to stay
in business.
Major shoe manufacturers are
producing more shoes with plastic
soles, which the store is not able.
to repair. Brown said this could
cause problems for the shoe repair
industry in the future.
"If the soles are plastic, you
can't repair them," Brown said.
The opening of the Ann Arbor
Ice Cube, a sports complex in the
city, also caused a significant loss
of profit for Brown's business due
to its skate sharpening services,
she said.
College Shoe Repair had sharp-
ened skates since its opening,
Brown said, and had a "kind of a
monopoly" on the service when
the business began selling and
repairing skates and other hockey
equipment in the 1980s.
Brown said the shoe store's
closing has been an unfortunate
event for her and her family.
"I'm very sad. My husband died
in July, and it's like a part of him
that we're getting rid of," Brown
said.
Shortly after her husband died,
Brown's co-owner of the build-
ing in which College Shoe Repair,
White Market and several apart-
ments reside proposed selling the
building. Brown said she couldn't
afford to buy out her associate's
stake of ownership.
The space vacated by College
Shoe Repair currently has three
potential buyers, but Brown said it
has not yet been sold.
When asked where her clients
would go for shoe repair in the
future, Brown said she had been
referring customers to Park Shoe
Repair located on North 4th Ave-
nue. According to Brown, Park
Shoe Repair is one of the few shoe
repair shops left in the downtown
Ann Arbor area.
"I imagine they'll be busy,"
Brown said.
Todd Roberts, co-owner of
Park Shoe Repair, said he 'was sad
to see College Shoe Repair close.
"It's a shame when a family
business goes under," he said.
Roberts also said he expects
to gain business from the store's
closing, though he added that the
increase in profit comes from an
unfortunate event.
Speculating on the future of
the shoe repair industry, Roberts
stressed the need for customers
to understand that shoe repair
promotes sustainability. The shoe
repair business could continue to
make a profit "if people are edu-
cated that shoe repair is an act of
recycling," he said.
