Joe Barone for 35th District Court JUDGE

Received a mailer from one of our community members - Maria Kanjuparamban Barone of Plymouth Township (incidentally my home town too). Thought I should share it with Michigan Indian Community. Here it is

My parents came to the United States from India in 1969 in pursuit of the American Dream. My father is a medical doctor. He taught me to value education, hard work, perseverance and commitment to family. My husband Joe encompasses the same values that my parents taught me. That is why his is running for judge. Please vote for my husband, Joe Barone, for 35th District Court Judge on Tuesday, November 4th

Happy New Year

Happy and Prosperous New Year to all. Mother Nature helped us welcome the New Year by dumping 8-10 inches of snow in the Metro Detroit Area.

Sure this looks pretty but its no fun shoveling the white stuff. I do have a snow blower but it does not like this much snow so I had to shovel.

Rabid Fox attacks residents in Plymouth Township, MI

Detroit News is reporting that

A rabid fox is still on the loose today after biting a township woman and her beagle near Ann Arbor Trail and McClumpha last night.

Around 9 p.m. Thursday, the crazed animal "came out of nowhere," nipped at the woman's ankle and broke the skin, said Plymouth Township Police Chief Thomas Tiderington.

The woman's dog then chased the fox and was also bit. Both sought medical treatment, he said.

The incident is the latest following several attacks occurring in the same area over the last month.

"There's not much we can do…except notify the public to be on the lookout," Tiderington said. "We've contacted professional animal control and we're discussing what capabilities they have."

Careful out there when jogging or taking your dog for a walk!
