Story by Jeff Lilly | Photos by Bernie Laframboise

It was a nippy night in late March when I marched into the Bizarre Bazaar. Not the opening line of a short story or a movie pitch, but a fun evening for a deadly serious cause.

The Michigan AIDS Coalition held its second annual Bizarre Bazaar at the Twist Night Club on March 26, a silent auction of goodies donated by individ- uals, stores, and organizations to raise money to continue their important mission. Artwork, framed posters, jewelry, home accents, furniture, and other items were on display. One end of the room was taken up by a selection of clothing and cards from Just4Us, our own dearly departed Kevin Rogers, still helping a good cause from the other side.

I spoke first with Terry Ryan, CEO of the Michigan AIDS Coalition. He quickly gave me the title of this piece, and told me it was the most important thing to remember.

“AIDS is not over! You don’t see AIDS covered much on the news anymore.” AIDS began as a terrifying and unknown killer. Once its transmission and risk factors were understood, and the fear began to be replaced with practical suggestions, there was a tremendous drop in new AIDS cases. Combine that with advances in anti-retrovi- ral drugs, and today AIDS is now seen as merely another chronic, manageable disease.

Almost. “Younger people need to know the risks.” Terry says. He fears an upswing in new cases due to lack of education. The same rules still apply; always wear protection when having sex. Don’t share needles.

MAC serves the most vulnerable populations, high-risk populations in poorer areas who generally lack good health care coverage. MAC sends trained outreach teams into bars and, with assistance of the management, provides a safe, anonymous area where people can be voluntarily tested. The staff circulate, chatting casually and letting people know they can be tested. The reaction is generally positive, Terry says, and the testing is simple. A quick finger prick is all that’s needed to test for AIDS. This year, MAC has expanded their testing to include other STDs like gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia as well.

I next spoke with our mayor, Dave Coulter. Mayor Coulter was affiliated with the Michigan AIDS Fund, which in 2009 merged with the Midwest AIDS Pre- vention Project to form the current Michigan AIDS Coalition.

“I have a passion for HIV prevention.” the Mayor explained. He echoed Terry Ryan’s sentiments, saying “There are a lot of young people now who don’t know anyone who’s died of AIDS. We have to keep awareness alive, at a time when people think the crisis is over.”

If some happened with our soundness, we believe there is a solution to any maladies in a medicament. What medicines do patients purchase online? Viagra which is used to treat emasculation and other states united to erectile disfunction. Learn more about “sildenafil“. What people talk about “viagra stories“? The most vital aspect you should look for is “sildenafil citrate“. Such problems commonly signal other problems: low libido or erectile disfunction can be the symptom a strong soundness problem such as heart trouble. Causes of sexual malfunction turn on injury to the penis. Chronic disease, several medicaments, and a status called Peyronie’s disease can also cause sexual dysfunction. Even though this medicine is not for use in women, it is not known whether this medication passes into breast milk.

FERNDALE’S GREENEST SPOT: There is a list of reasons that Ferndale’s Library is our top local green spot, besides that conspicuous roof. The Oakland Press ran a story last month about the library’s United States Green Building Council award recognizing the building’s silver- level ranking, listing LED lights, awnings, reflective roof materials, geothermal heating and cooling, watering the grounds with collected rain water, energy-efficient glass, and CO2 sensors that automatically open vents as green features.

But libraries in general have always been green. When we share materials we reduce amount of resources used, and libraries provide a great deal of information for green and local living, as well. A walk through the Ferndale library last Saturday revealed an impressive variety. Michigan guidebooks are shelved in the 917s (local travel is green travel) and include guides to hiking, canoeing, scenic drives, and breweries. Look under 632 for gardening books, including natural pest control. Natural health is shelved under 615-616. Between 796 and 799 I saw books on urban biking, and hiking and fishing how- tos. Books like the Eco-Living Handbook and Cradle to Cradle are under 333. There are even books on outdoor and handcrafted weddings (395).

The DVD collection has crafts like knitting, and acclaimed series like Planet Earth and Blue Planet. The magazine section has Mother Earth News, and some indirectly- green offerings, like bicycling (as long as you don’t fly to bike), Vegetarian Times, local travel resources like Midwest Living and Lake Superior, and Utne, which always has something related to the environment.

Bikes and Helmets Department: According to NPR, California is considering a bill making bike helmets mandatory for adults. 21 states and DC have helmet laws, usually for

riders under 16. There are 49 local ordinances nationwide, including two in Michigan, in our Metroparks and in the town of Starkville. NPR mentioned that 91% of cyclists killed in accidents were not wearing helmets. No doubt helmet laws save lives. Yet Michigan repealed our motorcycle helmet law in 2012. Only a fourth of Michigan motorcyclists ride helmet- less, but they accounted for nearly half the deaths in 2013.

Ferndale is a bike-friendly city, with lanes, an abundance of downtown racks, and our Downtown Ferndale Bike Shop. Would we ever join Starkville in making helmets mandatory for adults? When we do all get our bikes out, we’ll be dodging plenty of potholes. Our bad roads and the weird inability of Lansing to just deal with funding road repair remains a puzzle.

Backyard Habitat News: Gardening is the only American hobby more popular than feeding birds, and we Americans spend, according to Wikipedia, over

$3 billion a year on feeders and seed. With the ongoing concern over rats, maybe relocating feeders could help. High places like balconies could be used as feeding stations to keep the inevitable spilling of seeds off the ground. I’m putting seeds in shallow dishes for ground feeders like cardinals and juncos and bringing them in at night. Apparently trays are available that hang beneath feeders to catch falling seed (and the seed that some birds seem to enjoy flinging). I notice a steady decline in number of birds at my feeders the last few years and it worries me. Hawks will clear the yard instantly, but hawks are not around every day; they patrol different spots in the hood. Anyone else notice less birds? By the way, if we poison the rats, we poison their predators.

Seed Department: Western Market has organic seeds for sale, both vegetables and herbs. They have heirloom and open-pollinated varieties, and some favorite hybrids like Roma tomatoes.

Warming: NASA says 2014 was the warmest year on record. Climate Central in New Jersey states that 13 of the 15 warmest months occurred since 2000, and the odds of that happening without man-made greenhouse gasses are less than 1 in 27 million.

Although Michigan had what I personally considered to be a wonderful winter, NOAA has declared the winter of 2014-15 as the warmest on record. And Don Wuebbles, a professor at the University of Illinois, points out that 2014 being the warmest on record is surprising given that it was not an El Nino year. Sobering news about a change happening faster than expected.

Becky Hammond still thinks Michigan is a great work of art. She hopes that this remains kind of a secret, though.

NICHOLAS SCHROCK, THE AGENCY OWNER OF ALLSTATE INSURANCE in Ferndale, has been brainstorming some innovative new financial solutions for LGBT clients. On Wednesday, May 13 2015, Schrock and his colleague David Smith will be hosting a free presentation in the main Community Room at the Ferndale Public Library. The presentation will run from 6:00 P.M. – 7.30 P.M., and will specifically outline life insurance and investment/retirement plans for the LGBT population. Registration is open to both residents and non-residents of Ferndale alike (see details on registering and the presentation schedule below).

Schrock has been offering his financial expertise in Ferndale since 2011, and he anticipates hosting LGBT-oriented presentations at least every six months. Smith, who is also with Allstate, has been a financial planner since 2004. The combined powerhouse of knowledge available at the upcoming event is certainly impressive.

Schrock and Smith recognize that the needs of the LGBT population, as a whole, are unique. In particular, Schrock explained, many companies do not recognize an LGBT partnership in the same way as a marriage. Therefore, funds are often not transferred to partners correctly.

Fortunately, there are some great new plans available which protect LGBT partnerships from being negatively affected financially. An overview of all these types of plans will be covered during the presentation, in addition to free reviews of your existing plans (brokers usually charge extra for this service).

Schrock and Smith will also provide complimentary guidebooks/organizers to help attendees keep track of their important facts and contacts.

The evening will begin with light refreshments at 6:00 P.M., followed by the main presentation (including questions from the audience) from 6:30- 7:30. P.M.

This an event you can’t afford to miss! Seats are already filling quickly for this highly educational event. Reservations can be made via phone at the main office line: (248) 547.4010, or by emailing Schrock directly: nschrock@allstate.com. (Walk-ins are also welcome until room is at capacity.)

The controversial 3-60 Proposal is dead for now. At the City Council Meeting on March 9, Council members decided not to extend exclusive talks with developer Jake Sigal, effectively nixing the plan.

The 3-60 Proposal would have seen the construction of multi- story developments on Withington and West Troy, including parking garages, residential units, and office space. Proponents saw the project as a way to alleviate parking concerns and breathe new life and investment into downtown Ferndale. Opponents, including many existing businesses on 9 Mile, feared negative impacts like snarled traffic, enormous cost, skyrocketing rents, and a massive facade out of character with Ferndale’s image.

Mayor Dave Coulter spoke with Ferndale Friends about the decision. “The 3-60 proposal addressed many of the goals the city had identified for years, including more parking but also increasing the amount of people that live and work downtown to better support retail. But Council was also determined that any development of this nature needed public input, and it had to fit the unique character of our city. The goals are still relevant to the future success of downtown, so we’ll take what we’ve heard and learned as we work with businesses, the DDA, residents and others on how to solve these issues.”

Council members had similar sentiments, and it was noted that parking problems around downtown remain unaddressed. As of press time, there’s no word on any new proposals.

Whose footsteps do I follow
When everybody walks light ?
Whose words do I listen to
When I know they aren’t right ?
How do I look to brighter days
When all I see is the night ?
How do I make my own path
When it’s covered in mines ?
As I see
This horizon over me
Watching as my sleeve bleeds
Deprived of my every need
A car with no keys
A flower with no seeds
This fire around me
Hate and desire surround me
This world I live in
Was never made for me
People at my door Sunday
Praying to save me
Can’t save what’s not finished loading
Set fire to the ocean
And all these fireworks exploding
As I see
This ground below me
This grail so holy
This girl on her knees
Treated so boldly
Growing up on me
Placed upon me
Got to swim through seven seas
This world I live in
Was made for someone else
People on the corner Monday
Begging for my help
Can’t help them if I can’t help myself
Just sitting and wishing
God felt what I felt

A joyful and committed teacher can change the lives of his or her students for the better. When I met Jan Whinham in her Ferndale High School classroom on a snowy Monday morning, I recognized a teacher with the same sense of commitment to her students.

She was hired in 1986, part time, to teach dance and special education. She earned her undergraduate degree at Western Michigan University and a Master’s in Learning Disabilities at Eastern. “I wanted to be a dance therapist”. Paus- es, considers, smiles. “I am one.” She was quick to give genuine praise to the school system – “Ferndale does really well in the fine arts.”

Her work is anything but part time now. She teaches high school, middle school, elementa- ry, and works with CASA (Center for Advanced Studies of the Arts). Classes include ballet, jazz, con- temporary, and some ballroom styles, including salsa and swing. The students also learn to choreograph, and shows sometimes include audience participation.

Jan, like many modern teachers, takes work home with her. She’s learned to choreograph new work at the kitchen table. She uses a little CD player and keeps the volume down so that her family doesn’t get sick of hearing the same song repeated. She is collaborative, looking to CASA alumni for help with choreography to make sure there is enough variety in the numbers performed.

When a show calls for tap, they tap. Preparing for 2013’s production of “Thoroughly Modern Millie” required five-hour rehearsals every Sunday. Jan talked about digging up a ton of old tap shoes to try and fit everyone; budgets, after all, are limited. Pat at Lynch’s House of Sequins made the shoes performance worthy.

Given the number of shows she oversees every year – three for the middle school class- es, two for high school and two (plus a showcase) for CASA, it’s a good thing she’s a saver. There are bins and boxes in a corner of the classroom filled with costumes from shows past. Jan pulls from the “archives” to get most of what she needs for each show – she al- ters, adjusts, and fixes so that each student will have the appropriate costume for the current production. “Luckily, I have a wash machine here”. And an assistant, I ask? Her eyes twinkle. “No. I wash the costumes.”

Jan believes dance helps students dig deeper, and be well rounded. Memorizing patterns might help with alge- bra. They choreograph dances to poems — no music, just the connection between the movement and the words. Dance can also help with social skills. “Kids have to get along in dance class. They can’t block each other out.” There’s a sense of something “beyond myself, for the good of the group.”

Just then, the group starts to file in. Jan shifts focus to the people who matter most, her students. They are safe in this class, safe to make mistakes, fall on their faces, create something wonderful. I envy them their time with Jan Whinham.

“Good morning.” says Jan to the kids. “It’s going to be a good day.”
