One hundred cents of every dollar donated tothe Rotary Club of Grosse Pointe is spent onprojects. No overhead. No administration fees.

Each project is run, from inception to comple-tion, by volunteers.

A volunteer’s time commitment is from onehour to life.

Once a person understands the Rotary Club’sfocus, it’s not hard to find the time, said MikeCarmody, a longtime Rotarian and 2009-10 and2010-11 Rotarian of the Year.

Observing its 75th anniversary with a gala inApril, the Rotary Club of Grosse Pointe is notabout “us,” said Mark Wilson, a Rotarian since1993.

“The 75th is important to us,” he began, “butit’s for people to know what we can do and havedone.”

Both Wilson and Carmody brushed aside theanniversary to spotlight what both the local cluband the 1.2 million Rotarians around the worldcan do together. From Rotary International’simpetus, PolioPlus, has virtually wiped out polioin all but four nations — India, Pakistan,Afghanistan and Nigeria.

“Rotary was there to pave the way, to educate

the residents about the program which hasbeen going on since 1985,” said Ron Vitale, ofGrosse Pointe Woods, a member since 1982.

“Rotary, on an international basis, is commit-ted to eradication of polio. The areas that let usin is an amazing success story,” said JohnMozena, Rotary Club of Grosse Pointe presi-dent from 1987-88.

But the work is not done.“We have to remember, polio is just a plane

ride away,” said Kim Towar, Grosse PointeRotary’s president in 2003-04 and Rotary dis-trict governor from 2010-11.

Rotarians are adamant they don’t just throwmoney at a problem and walk away.

“It’s sustainability,” Wilson said.Carmody added: “Rotary builds wells and

schools (in third-world countries) and otherRotarians go to visit those projects to make surethey have what it needs to sustain it.”

While on a Rotary trip to India with WorldHealth Organization members, the team Vitalewas attached spent 18 days in Augra, Delhi andMumbia, providing two drops of oral polio vac-cine to thousands of children. They also handedout 18 suitcases filled with eye glasses.

Is it due to Rotarians dedication and commit-

ment to solving a problem, itsreputation or follow-up thatthe Bill & Melinda GatesFoundation challenged RotaryInternational?

Whatever the answer,Rotarians from 200 countriesrose to the challenge andraised $100 million. The Gatesfoundation increased its initialoffering of $200 million to $250million specifically for theworldwide elimination of polio.

“There has never been awhiff of scandal. That’s whyPolioPlus has been so success-ful. It has been done by volun-teers,” Mozena said.

That is a project for theRotary International with as-sistance from clubs around theworld. What about problemsclose to home?

“Some (members) don’thave an international interest,saying there are enough needshere,” Towar said.

For example, Raleigh, theGrosse Pointe Farms policedog, was purchased by theRotary and the club continuesto support the canine program,Carmody said. The most re-cent local project is providingfunds for Grosse Pointes pub-

lic safety departments to pur-chase patrol bicycles.

Purchase of thermal imagingcameras and jaws of life weremade possible by Rotaryfunds. Ask Poupard’s thirdgrade teachers how their stu-dents were able to visit theDetroit Historical Museum last

school year and they will reply,by the generosity of the RotaryClub of Grosse Pointe.

“Rotary gives an amount ofstability to the community,”Mozena said. “We have 100men and women who raisemoney to spend in the commu-nity and care about the com-munity and bring their friendsin who care about the commu-nity. The hub is service. It’s notjust a luncheon club.”

Club members meet at 12:10p.m. Mondays at the GrossePointe War Memorial forlunch, business and to hear aspeaker.

“Our club was typicallyknown as a check-writingclub,” Towar said. “There’snothing wrong with that, butsome wanted to roll up theirsleeves and get dirty. We are

seeing a change, young peoplewant to roll up their sleeves.”

Organizations such as TheFamily Center of Grosse Pointeand Harper Woods, MacombWarming Center, the GrossePointe War Memorial, eighthgraders receiving scholarshipsto pay for college textbooksand North and South highschool students awardedscholarships accept thosechecks.

The Rotary Club was formed in Chicago Feb. 23, 1905, byPaul P. Harris, an attorney who wanted to create a professionalclub with a friendly spirit.

The name is derived from the early practice of rotating meet-ings among members’ offices.

Within a decade, clubs were chartered from coast to coastand Canada. By 1921, Rotary clubs were formed on six conti-nents and a year later, the name Rotary International wasadopted.

As it grew, its mission expanded beyond serving club mem-bers’ professional and social interests to serving communitiesand living up to its motto: Service Above Self.

Rotary grew to more than 2,000 clubs and about 108,000members by July 1925.

In 1932, Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor created The Four-WayTest, a code of ethics adopted 11 years later.

Of the things we think, say or do:1. Is it the truth?2. Is it fair to all concerned?3. Will it build good will and better friendships?4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?In 1989, women were admitted.Today, 1.2 million people belong to more than 32,000 Rotary

clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas.— From the Rotary International website

Dear Jeff and Debra,Our 38-year-old daughter

had a lot of problems withdrinking and prescriptiondrugs. She’s been throughtreatment, but doesn’t like go-ing to 12-Step meetings. Sheseems isolated and keeps re-lapsing.

She was involved in a terri-bly traumatic series of eventssome years ago and we thinkthese things are still weighingon her. Is there any specifictreatment for trauma?

CONCERNED PARENTS

Dear Concerned,We often see trauma occur-

ring with addiction and at ahigher rate in female patients.Resolving the trauma won’tmake the addiction go away,but ignoring or leaving it un-treated is a recipe for relapse.

We have found EyeMovement Desensitization andReprocessing therapy to bevery effective in helping pa-tients resolve trauma and otherissues. It helps patients processthe events fully and privately,so they can move on with re-covery and their lives. JamesLoffredo is an expert in thismodel.

He explained this eight-phase approach, which helpsclients address a wide range ofissues, was developed in thelate 1980s to treat post-trau-matic stress disorder and othertraumatic experiences.

Treatment includes “dualstimulation,” which includesusing bilateral eye movements,tones and taps. During this re-processing phase, clients visitpast experiences, present trig-gers, or future experienceswhile focusing on the externalbilateral stimulation.

By using the eight-phase ap-proach and dual stimulation,clients rapidly reprocess thedisturbing experience. It doesnot erase the experience nordoes the client forget it. In most

cases, it reduces or eliminatesthe psychological pain.

This treatment can also beused to assist patients throughthe stages of change rapidlyand typically requires clientsand their families to participatein two 8-hour sessions on con-secutive days. It is very intensework, but the outcomes havebeen extremely rewarding.

One of the stumbling blocksto clients entering long-termrecovery is unresolved traumaand a fear of connecting withothers. The best way to treatthe disease of addiction isthrough the support of 12-Stepfellowships. Many patients arenot able to engage the fellow-ships or were terrified to entera meeting due to past experi-ences. Eye MovementDesensitization andReprocessing helps them re-solve barriers that may keepthem engaged in the12 step fel-lowships and work on theirlong-term recovery.

Under Carmody’s chairman-ship, the club took on the mon-umental task of collecting anddistributing a million poundsof clothing, a million pounds ofbooks and a million pounds offood. With the help of district’sother 49 clubs, it was done,done and done.

District 6400, in which theRotary Club of Grosse Pointeand its 20-year-old sister club,Sunshine Rotary, stretchesfrom Eight Mile to Michigan’ssouthern border and east toEssex, Ontario, Canada.

“Hands down it was themost impressive worthwhileproject,” Mozena said. “Wecompleted the Three MillionPound Challenge in less than ayear and a half. Virtually all ofit went to Detroit.”

And the club continues tocollect books.

For two hours twice a month,Rotarians accept books at theGrosse Pointe MethodistChurch. To date, 170,620books have been collected andredistributed.

The goal is to “infect thosefamilies with the desire to read.That can have nothing but apositive effect,” Carmody said.

Wilson quoted a 2010 studyfrom a Utah university statingit was almost as important tohave a book in the house as itwas to have educated parents.

Encyclopedias, generallywritten at a fifth-grade level,are happily accepted, because

as Wilson pointed out, theBoston Tea Party facts don’tchange.

“We have filled shelves of li-braries. We are now moving tochurches and may want to helpsmall libraries and mini-sta-tions all over the city,”Carmody said.

Wilson instituted the RotaryLiteracy Initiative in 2010.

“For over 60 years, we havebeen giving scholarships to in-dividuals from Grosse PointeNorth and South. We are hon-oring people from all over theworld — and less than a mileaway, there are people whocan’t read,” Wilson said.

“I don’t want to be myopic,”Vitale added. “We are on theborder of Detroit and it’s timeto help Detroit which helpsGrosse Pointe. It helps thecommunity. That’s whatRotary is about.”

He infers this project fulfillsthe 2011 Rotary Internationalmotto: “Reach within to em-brace humanity.”

Tutors have been “spiderwebbing” the community. AndRotary International stepped into provide a Future VisionGlobal Grant, the first given toa United States-based project.

Tutors include the 60-mem-ber Interact Club, the Rotary’shigh school-sponsored group.

But Rotarians weren’t going

to reinvent the wheel, theywork alongside established or-ganizations — Pro-LiteracyDetroit, the DominicanLiteracy program and MatrixHuman Services reading pro-gram, SOAR.

“We are supporting what isthere. All these good organiza-tions, they know what needs tobe done,” Carmody said.

Helping handsVocational Training Teams is

a pilot project in which bothGrosse Pointe and District 950in Australia are part. It is a toolby which both Detroiters andEast Timor residents benefit.

During a training session,Towar met Allan Church fromAustralia. As a result of her ex-planation about the club’s liter-acy program, Church broughtan educational team to Detroitfor five weeks to teach trainersto teach reading tutors in April.

But, Towar wondered, howcould her district reciprocate?

Church told her East Timor,a fourth-world country of amillion people and the No. 1country in the world sufferingfrom maternal and infantdeath, could use the help ofmidwives and pharmacists.

Say no more.In April, Carmody, accompa-

nied by three midwives andtwo pharmacists, spent 4 1/2weeks on the island 1 1/2 hoursnorth of Australia. RotaryInternational provided a pro-fessional videographer to cre-ate a documentary.

True to its counsel, Rotaryprovides follow up.

ROTARY: Serving othersContinued from page 2B

The Rotary Club of Grosse Pointe Board of Directors in 2008, from left, Susanne Klein, KevinReitzloff, Mark Brooks, Tony Zoia, Roger Hull, Bob Bashara, Bill Scott, Mark Wilson, LindaMackool, Gaylord Creedon and Marv Asmus.


Caroline Wilkinson, a member of GrossePointe South’s Rotary-sponsored InteractClub, came home from the week-long RotaryWorld Affairs conference with a differentworld perspective.

Through her interactions with studentsfrom around the United States and theworld, she said she learned what she takesfor granted others must work to obtain —clean water, enough food, personal trans-portation.

She admitted the conference’s topic,Sustainable Development, was depressingbecause there is so much work for her gen-eration to do to repair and preserve naturalresources for other generations and providelife components, such as food and water.

“We must preserve resources and life sogenerations will have the same opportuni-ties,” she said.

As former secretary of the Interact Club,the Grosse Pointe Rotary Club gave her ascholarship to attend the early summer con-ference in Wisconsin.

“Students from all over the United Statesand world attended,” said the 2011 Southgraduate. “They had all different back-grounds. They see things differently. Myroommate was from Norway. She’s going tocollege at the University of Oslo. She wasthree years older. They (Norwegians) go toschool longer. They use public transporta-tion. It was eye-opening for me coming froma closed community.”

Her roommate was just one young personfrom whom she learned there are countriesthat can’t afford sustainable living standards— clean water and enough food to feed its

populace.“It’s political why they can’t afford clean

water and food. You can’t just send in money(to correct the problem). The governmentsand people resent that. The work must bedone from the inside,” she explained.

Wilkinson said one solution came fromconference speakers; global talks throughpeace-keepers.

Another is an answer to a question put toconference attendees: “How can we live so itwon’t negatively impact those that come af-ter us?”

To help students understand the questionand devise answers, they broke into smallgroups to learn about different products.

Wilkinson’s group disassembled a bicycleand identified steel, aluminum, rubber andlatex as its components.

They were asked, “from where does eachof the materials originate? What is theprocess to manufacture each material? Fromwhere are the goods coming?”

“You can buy a bike, but don’t know whereit’s coming from,” she said.

By examining the bike not as a whole butas a complexity of parts. They understoodmaterials originate in various countries andhow each component must be manufacturedfrom raw materials to end up a single item,in this case a bicycle. And how those materi-als went from a natural form through theprocessing stage to become a single item, inthis case a bicycle.

She said she is beginning to see how hergeneration must face problems created byprevious generations, including pollutionand reduction of natural resources.

“We have to try and fail and try again. Wecan’t ignore it anymore. It’s good to haveprograms like this,” she said.

Learning from another perspective

See ROTARY, page 6B

As we age, it’s nor-mal for drivingabilities to change;but that doesn’tmean we need to

stop driving.But, it does mean paying at-

tention to warning signs andmaking appropriate adjust-ments.

By reducing risk factors andincorporating safe driving prac-

tices, many can drive safelylong into the senior years. Butkeep in mind, older adults aremore often cited for and in-volved in accidents. In fact, fa-tal crash rates rise sharply afterage 70.

Decreased vision, impairedhearing, slowed motor reflexesand chronic conditions affectdriving. Aging reducesstrength, coordination and flex-ibility, which can impact safelycontrolling a car. For example:Neck pain or stiffness makes itharder to change lanes orcheck for pedestrians; leg painmakes it hard to move yourfoot from the gas to brake ped-al; and diminished arm

strength makes it hard toquickly and effectively turn thesteering wheel.

As reaction time slows, it’stougher to spot vehicles emerg-ing from side streets and drive-ways, or to realize the vehicleahead has slowed or stopped.Signs can come gradually, or arecent change in health mayhasten problems:

◆Check medication labelsand with health professionals iftaking several medications, es-pecially if starting a new one.

◆Peripheral vision, extrasensitivity to lights, trouble see-ing in the dark or blurred visionshould be checked.

◆Can you hear emergencysirens, someone acceleratingnext to you, or horns honking?

◆Reflexes and range of mo-tion can significantly impairdriving. Can you brake sudden-ly or quickly look back? Do youconfuse the gas and brake ped-als? Are you flustered or quickto anger?

◆Do you miss exits that usedto be second nature or get lostfrequently?

◆Close calls and increasedcitations are a big sign. Dentsand scrapes on the car, fences,mailboxes, garage doors, etc.should be noted.

Health problems and agingdon’t always mean drivingneeds to stop, but they do re-quire extra vigilance, aware-ness and willingness to correctthem.

How can you maximize safe-ty? Get regular medical check-ups, find the right car and need-ed driving aids. Drive defen-sively, know limitations and lis-ten to others.

Benefits of not driving aresaving money on insurance,maintenance, registration andgas. Walking more improvesoverall health and energy level

Slowing down may not seemappealing at first, but most findlife is better at a slower pace.

Make age adjustments to driving skills

For weeks, we’veheard SocialSecurity is an enti-tlement programgoing broke and im-

mediate steps must be taken todrastically reduce benefits.

Last night I listened to theJim Lehrer News Hour. Twoexperts, pro and con on SocialSecurity, agreed it is not an en-titlement program. They rea-soned both employers and em-ployees pay into it and it’s notanticipated to go dry until 2036at the earliest. It’s not in crisis

and there is plenty of time tocome to a thoughtful decisionon what to do next.

This is the first year SocialSecurity has paid out morethan it took in, a result of highunemployment. Another rea-son is many in their 50s and 60smaking good money lost theirjobs. Those folks can’t get a job,even one paying considerablyless. The lucky ones are those62 and up that can get SocialSecurity benefits.

Another reason is we’re liv-ing longer.

When the economy picks upand more people are paying in-to the fund and efforts to im-prove our schools show results,we can start looking at theSocial Security program. Theeasiest way to increase neces-sary funding is simply raise the

cap on those paying into thefund. Currently the cap is$106,000 per year.

Medicare is totally different.It has turned into a monstereating up funds that simplyaren’t sufficient to pay the ben-efits. And it’s nobody’s fault.The most overriding costs re-sult from advances in pharma-ceuticals and medical technolo-gy that contribute to longevity.

One can enter the hospitalfor a few days and leave with a$15,000 to $20,000 bill.Prescription drugs can costthousands each year. How topay these bills is the problem.

The suggestion the govern-ment gives older patients$18,000 toward purchasingtheir own insurance is guaran-teed to result in many goingbroke over a single serious

medical problem, and the im-pact of chronic diseases.

We could say no to drugs thatsave lives, but cost too muchand specialized medical equip-ment that quickly pinpoints amedical problem, but costs anarm and a leg.

It’s a real conundrum and isgoing to take a lot of thoughtfuldiscussion that may lead toheart-breaking decisions. Inother words, some smart andthoughtful people must get to-gether in the spirit of what’sbest for the general public. Areany of there in Washington,D.C.?

Fortunately, there are peopledoing wonderful things andhope is always in our heartsthat things will get better.Reach Cain at [email protected].

on East Timor is on-going.Ferris State University phar-macy students provide track-ing and management skillsthroughout the year.

Next year, another contin-gent of Rotarians and medicalprofessionals will revisit the is-land for support and updating,Carmody said.

Women in the clubRotary was established in the

early 1900s by a Chicago busi-nessman to network with otherbusinessmen. The club wasrepresented by one man perprofession. No duplications.No women.

Rules have relaxed and pro-fessions are duplicated by re-definition. For example, doc-tors can be represented bytheir specialities. In 1989,women were allowed to join.

“Now we look back and say,‘What did we ever do withoutthem.’ They are leaders andworkers,” said Grosse PointeFarms resident Marvin Asmus,president in 2008-09.

Anita “Jo” Lake and RenaDeRidder, Grosse Pointe PublicSchool System employees,were the first females to joinRotary Club of Grosse Pointe.Lake was South’s athletic di-rector and DeRidder was FerryElementary School principal.

Towar goes on about womenjoining Rotary: “It brought bal-ance and a different perspec-tive. The biggest challenge isperception of Rotary. Youngpeople think it’s a good ol’ boysclub. It is so much more.Rotary is a family. Rotariansare active.”

It took her a while to trulyunderstand Rotary’s motto:“Service Above Self.”

“I was in Rotary years beforeI got it. There were 100 mem-bers who where business own-ers, respected community lead-

ers, political figures. I thoughtit was a networking opportuni-ty. I loved going every Monday.Then I got involved in theyouth exchange program. Thatsold me 100 percent.

“My husband and I stumbledin it by hosting an exchangestudent for a brief time,” shesaid.

Towar picked up theColombian teenager at the air-port who met her with a scowlon her face. She was unhappyto be in America, she toldTowar. The only reason shewas here was because hergrandfather made her come.Towar said the student told hershe hated Americans andAmerica.

It wasn’t long before the stu-dent admitted she had been un-wisely counseled. She vowedto change her countrymen’s at-titude, so much so her brotheralso came to Grosse Pointe as aRotary exchange student.

She returned to the U.S. toearn a degree from New York’sColumbia University in peaceand conflict resolution. She isnow a lawyer.

Rotary Club of Grosse Pointehas hosted more than 30 ex-change students in the past 20years from South America,Europe, Russia and Japan.

“Rotary is the largest andmost respected student ex-change program,” Towar said.“Eight thousand students fromaround the world are annuallyinvolved in living in anothercountry through the studentexchange program.

“They are the key to the fu-ture of world peace,” Towarsaid. “It’s so cliche. But if some-one is thinking about bombinganother country, an exchangestudent can say, ‘I have a friendin that country.’”

Whether it’s peace promo-tion, elimination of a disease,helping a neighbor learn toread or contributing to a safecommunity, Rotarians will stepup.

“You can do more good byjoining with more people,”Mozena summed up.

Oysterfest at St. AmbroseCatholic Church has becomea community event. A sort ofsummer send-off, as it is al-ways scheduled for the end ofSeptember.

The 2011 event wrapped upthe 21st year of serving 25cases of oysters, plus shrimpand pizza for the children,with nearly 100 volunteersserving 1,000 guests.

“It’s a good place to be seen.It’s the signature event for theparish and the community,”said the Rev. Timothy Pelc.“The profitability is not that

much. We don’t lose money,but we don’t balance the bud-get. But its a good introduc-tion to the neighborhood andparish.”

Pelc said he is somewhatamazed to see how the festi-val morphed from a youngadult gathering into a familyevent.

“It’s amazing how the mar-ket turned from a singles bar

night to a family-style, seniornight,” he laughed.

Always ordering cold wateroysters from the Atlantic, theAugust hurricane reeked hav-oc on the oyster beds, Pelcsaid. But all was well and thefive varieties of 2,500 oystersand shrimp were shipped theday of the event from M.F.Foley in Boston.

Oysterfest began as a com-bination of Tom’s Oyster Barexpanding, a thought of giv-ing back to the communityand a motivated teachermoonlighting as a waitress.

“Tom was opening an ex-pansion and wanted to investin the community. He wouldgive the profits to the school,”he said. “I said, ‘Who’s goingto come to an Oysterfest?’ Hesaid, ‘Trust me they’ll be com-ing.’”

And people have been com-ing ever since it started in theparking lot next to the restau-rant. Guests continue to at-tend even though it moved toKercheval and involves morebusinesses encouraged tostay open on a Monday night— a night many mainstreamrestaurants are closed, Pelcsaid.

“It started as informalthing,” he said, adding a raffleis part of the festivities.

In the beginning, a class-room piano was draggeddown to the site for a pianistto provide music. This year,the Edgar Wallace Trio per-formed.

“Tom moved on,” Pelc said.“We decided to do it as abroad community event andtransformed it into a tastefest. It is at a point where it

has its own momentum.”This year, some 45 area

restaurants provided food, towhich Pelc is proud.

He said the Taste ofChicagohas 59 par-ticipatingrestaurantsand theFord Arts,Beats andEats has 70.“And wedon’t have corporate backing.

“We have a wide variety ofparticipation. It has truly

grown up.”As well as keeping the basic

menu.Pelc said the event is always

held under a tent, shielding itfrom all kinds ofweather rangingfrom warm falldays, to rain andsleet.

No matter theweather, the oys-ters are flown inand people keep

coming to eat them.It was a good day to eat oys-

ters al fresco.

By Dina Soresi WinterSpecial Writer

Ivan Moshchuk, a GrossePointe South graduate andwinner of the Gilmore YoungArtist Award, recently per-formed at Grosse PointeSouth’s auditorium.

The 20-year-old has wonmany prizes throughout hisyears of study, including asubstantial award by TheTuesday Musicale of Detroit.

For his Grosse Pointe per-formance, Moshchuk chose aprogram of Brahms,Beethoven and Chopin, whichwould have been a formidablechallenge for the most sea-soned performer.

Moshchuk has a fluid andsolid technique which he uses,not to dazzle, but to serve. Heis already a true master of hiscraft.

From beginning to end, thedominant impression thisyoung artist gave was of adeeply thoughtful, sensitivemusician who unfailinglystrove to communicate the in-ner, poetic meaning of the mu-sic. In the Brahms “Six PiecesOp.118,” he spoke eloquentlyto the quiet places of the soul,drawing the audience into amesmerizing experience ofthe piece in an almost magicalway.

In Beethoven’s “Sonata in EMajor Op 109,” his fluid fin-gers obeyed every impulse,every subtle nuance the musicwanted to convey. Chopin’s“Prelude in C-Sharp Minor,Op 45,” was a gem of exquisiterefinement. But it was in thegreat Polish composer’s“Sonata in B minor, Op 58,”that, although Moshchuk wasplaying this work for the firsttime in public, his dazzling flu-idity and imaginative and po-etic rendition made Chopin’smusic go straight to the heart.

The audience stood in en-thusiastic response to this last

number and was rewarded bya superb encore – perhaps themost exuberant performanceof the evening – the“Transcendental Etude, No.10 in F minor” by Franz Liszt.

He performed this difficultwork with drama, gusto andpathos, bringing the audienceonce again to its feet.

There is no doubt this younggenius is headed for stardom.

Fresh zucchini isabundant this timeof year. Whetherhome grown, fromthe market or even
