Local Teacher Visits Middle East for Peace Initiative
Grosse Pointe Park resident Edward Taub at an Al Azaria protest in the West Bank
Edward Taub, Grosse Pointe Park
resident and a teacher in the Detroit
Public Schools traveled to Jordan and
Israel in late March/early April as one
of 72 American participants in meetings and dialogues entitled: “Middle
East Peace Initiative - Forging a Path to
Peace and Reconciliation in the Middle
East.” The trip was sponsored by the
Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace, an organization
which believes an essential precondition for peace in the Middle East is reconciliation among religious leaders of
Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
ligious and political leaders. After one
meeting with the Muslim sheikhs of
the Sharia Court in al Azaria in the
West Bank, the participants, sheikhs
and hundreds of local Palestinians
marched to the “separation wall” and
held a peaceful protest there.
“Seeing the wall was a wake-up for
me,” said Taub. “I had always taken the
Israeli point of view in the past, but I
could understand the Palestinian viewpoint when I saw the wall. It was so
huge and so divisive, I wouldn’t want
to have it in my backyard. It is causing
so much resentment from the PalestinThe participants met with both re- ians. It has got to come down.”

“The Look Of Wallpaper,
The Luxury of Personal Style”
Dental implants are a wonderful way
to replace missing teeth. They are free
standing replacement teeth, meaning
they are not supported by other teeth.
The most common implants are called
rootform implants. Rootform implants
are made of titanium and are shaped
or formed like the root of a tooth. They
can be surgically implanted in the jaw
bone to replace the root of the missing
tooth, providing an anchor for your new
tooth/teeth.
Bridges are also a great way to replace missing teeth. A bridge, as the
name implies, bridges the gap between
two or more teeth. Bridges are not free
standing. They are supported by the
teeth on either side of the space. For
a conventional bridge, the teeth on either side of the space to be filled must
be reshaped. These reshaped teeth hold
crowns which support the bridge.
There is a definite advantage to dental implants over bridges in that the implants are freestanding and do not need
support from the adjacent teeth. If the
teeth on either side of the space don’t
need to be reshaped for crowns, then it
is better to not touch those teeth and use

the space.
However, if the
teeth adjacent to the space have large fillings
in them and it looks like they will need
crowns in the near future, then it could
be cost effective to do the bridge. In
terms of cost, the implants are more
expensive initially. However, there is a
good chance the implants won’t have to
be replaced, and the bridge most likely
will have to be replaced. So, in the long
run, the implants are likely going to be
less expensive. The bridge can be completed in two weeks without surgery, as
opposed to the implants which can take
4-12 months to complete and require
surgery.
In the end, it’s up to you and your
dentist to decide if the implant or bridge
is better for you.

IT’S THE LAW
BY THE HON. MATTHEW RUMORA
Fair Debt Collection
The Fair Debt Collection Practices
Act is a Federal Law that was enacted
in 1996. The reason for the law was the
finding by the United States Congress
of abundant evidence that debt collectors were using abusive, deceptive and
unfair debt collections practices.
A debt collector is any business
which uses the mails or any other
means of interstate commerce for the
principal purpose of collecting debts.
The law prescribes numerous restrictions on the activities of debt collectors. One restriction deals with communication with the debtor. The law
prevents a debt collector from contacting a consumer at any unusual time or
place, or at a time or place known to
be inconvenient to the consumer. The
law further does not allow communication with the debtor before 8 a.m. and
after 9 p.m. Also, the debt collector is
barred from contacting the debtor at
his or her place of employment, if the
employer prohibits the debtor from receiving such communication.
Further, a debt collector may not
engage in conduct which results in
harassment or abuse of any person in
connec tion with
the collection
of a debt.
One example of
this would be the use or threat of violence or other criminal means to harm
the person, reputation, or property of
a person. Other prohibited activity
includes repeated telephone calls to
a person or engaging a person in telephone conversations repeatedly with
intent to annoy, abuse or harass the
person. The use of obscene or profane
language is also prohibited. Moreover,
a debt collector may not use false or
misleading representations such as a
threat to take some action that cannot
be legally taken, or a false representation that he or she is an attorney.
There are many more specific legal
prohibitions beyond the scope of this
article that apply to debt collectors under this federal statute.
Matthew R. Rumora is the Municipal Judge
for the City of Grosse Pointe Farms and an attorney in private practice. Please call him at

WINE AND DINE
BY SKIP UHL
Getting Sideways with Pinot Noir
Given the popularity of the recent hit movie “Sideways” there has been a lot of talk about
Pinot Noir. It might be interesting to examine
this remarkable wine in closer detail.
Any seasoned vintner will quickly attest to
the fact that Pinot Noir is the problem child
of the wine-growing world. The Pinot Noir
grape is the mainstay of the fabled Bordeaux
region of France and responsible for some to
the finest red wine ever produced. However,
the Pinot Noir grape is, to say the least, difficult to grow. Many vintners have attempted
to produce this wine in various wine producing regions throughout the world, only to be
rewarded with a broken heart and a seriously
compromised bank account.
Much of the problem is because the grape
is highly sensitive to climate, soil conditions,
and requires an experienced vintner that understands the grape’s temperamental nature.
The Pinot Noir grape is thin-skinned, even
fragile and requires constant attention. It is
difficult to press and needs as much attention
in the winery as it requires in the vineyard.
So why bother to attempt to produce red
wine from such a difficult grape? Anyone
who has enjoyed a truly great Pinot Noir will
be able to answer this question with little difficulty. Great Pinot Noir is as light and fragile
as the grape it is coaxed from. Delicate and
fruity with low tannins and underlying notes
of raspberry and violets, this wine should
be pared with foods of equal demeanor. The
very best Pinot Noir can be herbaceous and
overwhelming to the senses and should not
be matched with overly spicy or robust dishes. It would be a shame to miss all the delicate
and subtle qualities of a good Pinot due to the
wrong paring. Save the spicy ribs for a more
robust red.
Pinot Noir is successfully produced in
France (of course), California, Australia, and
New Zealand, among other countries and regions. When shopping for a good Pinot Noir,
as any good wine, seek the advice of an experienced wine expert or trusted merchant.
Hopefully you will enjoy this delightful wine,
which the French refer to as the “Queen of
Reds”, and understand that many people have
made a great effort to bring this remarkable
wine to your table.

REAL ESTATE REALITY
BY NANCY VELEK
Condominium Living: Is It Right for Your Lifestyle?
A condominium is individual ownership of a
single unit in a multi-unit building or complex
of buildings. As an owner, you have full title to
your individual unit plus a share in the grounds,
recreational facilities and other common properties in the complex.
The Declaration: Also called the master deed;
declaration of restrictions; covenants, conditions and restrictions; the declaration is the
most important document of all. It sets forth
the sponsor’s intention in creating the condominium as well as the details of the process. It
covers such things as voting rights, property
description, general common elements, the percentage of elements each unit owns and the operation of the association. This is a legal document, written according to state laws and filed
in the land records.
Rules and Regulations: It is common for the
condo board to publish rules and regulations
separately from the bylaws, and in greater detail. These deal with matters such as noise, pets,
parking, personal contact, etc.
Condominium Fee: This fee is the amount
you pay each month to enable the association
to meet the expenses of operating the condominium. Usually the amount depends on your
fractional ownership of the common elements.
In a well-run operation, special assessments
are rarely necessary. But they may be required
when there is not enough cash in the association’s reserve accounts to meet an emergency.
Board of Directors: Typically, a board of directors is elected by the members of the association to set policy; enforce provisions of the
declaration, bylaws and rules; and conduct the
Bylaws: Bylaws cover in detail things such as association’s business affairs. Often it retains a
duties of the board, conduct of meetings/elec- professional manager to hire/fire employees,
tions, preparation of budgets and adoption and negotiate contracts and keep financial records.
enforcement of rules and regulations.
Condo ownership allows you to deduct mort-
gage interest and
property taxes on
your income tax.
Condos offer broad
architectural variety (townhouse, ranch, detached, semi-detached, high-rise, etc). Usually
the purchase price is lower than for a conventional home of the same size. There is less exterior maintenance (this is the responsibility of
the association), often affordable recreational
facilities are available, and if business travel or
vacations take you away for extended periods
of time, condo living offers peace of mind and
security.
Ask your real estate professional to explain
any terms or conditions that are unclear.

TIMING
We know you'll be anxious to get
going and plant, but in order to
safeguard your investment, it's
important to have patience! Planting
earlier than May 20, approximately,
is for thrill seekers only -- we often
have frosts well into May. Certain
plants, such as impatiens, vinca,
tomatoes and basil will wilt from
merely a cold night, even without the
presence of frost. We realize it's hard
to ignore the urge to plant when you
walk into our garden center and see
all those beautiful plants! So, if you
simply can't resist the urge to plant
early and the inevitable frost
advisories are issued, be prepared to
cover your new plants with either
sheets, table cloths or plastic to
protect them. Be sure to remove the
coverings mid-morning of the next
day to prevent them from smothering.
(Also, be prepared to face your
neighbors as they fall off their
porches from laughter!)
FEEDING
We carry many good quality
fertilizers for annuals. Bi- or
tri-weekly applications of
Miracle Gro Bloom Booster ®
will increase blooms dramatically. It is a high quality water
soluble fertilizer that is formulated with high phosphate to
achieve great results. Application at recommended rates,
beginning two weeks after
planting, provides noticeable
results quickly. The key is
application on a systematic
basis all summer long because
these fertilizers flush though
the soil quickly with rainfall
and watering.

BY ROBERT MANISCALCO
Detroit: State of the Arts
(PART 1)
After eight amazing years working to bring Detroit artists into the
light, The Maniscalco Gallery will
be closing its doors for good on May
20, 2005. That’s the day we’re going
to have a great big party, “The Last
Hurrah,” as it were, celebrating
the many memories we’ve shared
with our friends and supporters.
Amanda and I are very proud of all
the thought provoking exhibitions
we’ve mounted and the evocative
artists we’ve represented.
Although the brick and mortar
aspect of what we are doing will
come to an end, that doesn’t mean
we aren’t going to continue to contribute to a vibrant art scene
in Detroit. But because
we have a family
now (our second child
plans to
arrive
in July),
we have
decided
to focus our
energies on my
commission portrait career,
expanding my national presence.
My goal is to become one of the top
10-20 contemporary American portraitists over the next five years; it’s
time for me to devote myself fully
to the noble work for which I was
put on earth.
number
of amazing individuals over the years. Along the
way I’ve learned some important
lessons about what goes into running a serious, viable art gallery
in today’s changing economy. I am
proud to have done so with enthusiasm and integrity.
I plan to continue sharing insights, information and ideas in
DANG and in my monthly “Pointe
of Art” column and as host of “Inside
Art” on WMTV-5 in Grosse Pointe.
The Maniscalco Gallery of Fine
Art - Online, which has become an
important resource
for artists, students
and
collectors,
will continue
to
evolve. One
of my goals is
to publish several writing and video
projects currently in development. And, of course,
I plan to continue as host of ART
BEAT, if we receive the necessary
underwriting for a third season.
I am very proud to have been a
part of what the Detroit arts community has been able to accomplish
in these past eight years. But there
is still much work to be done. The
community will continue to depend on the visionaries and workhorses who have begun to give Detroit artists a presence as pioneers
in the national scene. Slowly we
have made progress toward moving the tremendous Detroit underground art scene into view for all
to enjoy.
To accomplish this we will be setting up a dual residency between
Detroit and Charleston, South Carolina, where I will continue to serve
the loyal patrons I have been honored to work with in Detroit as well
as build on the growing demand
for my portraits and fine art in the
south. Amanda and I will also be
able to focus on creating and mar(To be continued.) Look for Part 2 of Robert
Maniscalco’s Pointe of Art in the June issue of
keting our own artworks.
Naturally, I have very mixed feelings about closing the Maniscalco Gallery. I’d like to think we’ve
made an important contribution to
the cultural life of our community.
We have been privileged to enjoy
the appreciation and support of a
