You only have one heart

It deserves some of the nation’s leading doctors Even if you are healthy and active, you can help keep your heart healthy by talking to your doctor about your risk for heart disease or if a heart scan is right for you. A heart scan by Ascension® care teams can help find heart disease even if you have no symptoms.

It’s easy to do, and it’s one of the most accurate tests for detecting heart disease.

Get your heart scan for only $75 Insurance does not cover the cost of a heart scan. Please note: If you are pregnant you should not have this test, or if you have previously had a heart attack, coronary bypass surgery or a coronary stent. Men under age 40 and women under age 50 should not have this test because detectable calcium is not likely.

FEATURED ON COVER Red Pole Park is an iconic art installation that sprouts up right where you’d least expect.

Along the Northwestern Highway service drive, north of Civic Center Drive in the Southfield City Centre, stands the interactive 140-linear foot sculpture comprised of 65 red poles rising approximately 35-feet above grade. An immersive space, Red Pole Park lines the Southfield City Centre Trail, an expanding system of shared-use pathways designed for walking, running, and biking. The park symbolizes the past, present, and future of civic responsibility we hold here in Southfield.

COMMUNITY

Message from Mayor Siver It’s been a great year for public art in Southfield. After three years of laying ground work, the fruits of those labors are now coming to the fore. But first, the backstory. In the 1980s, with the support of several major corporations headquartered in Southfield, a thriving cultural arts program was in place.

When corporate priorities changed, followed by mergers and acquisitions, support for the arts declined in the city.

In 2012, Oakland County resident and internationally acclaimed sculptor David Barr appeared before the Southfield City Council to promote his “Coasting the Baseline” project. That initiative highlighted the importance of Eight Mile Road, or the Baseline, as the first successfully surveyed road in America using modern surveying techniques. Barr proposed a series of obelisks that resembled a surveyor’s mark along Eight Mile, stretching from Lake St. Clair to Lake Michigan.

Southfield Council members liked the idea and eventually a pocket park was created at Eight Mile and Rutland that contains the Baseline Obelisk, made possible by donations from Southfield businesses, organizations and individuals. The Baseline Project had a more lasting impact, however.

It spurred a discussion about public art in Southfield. City Council created a Public Arts Commission.

At about the same time, Northland Center closed. The art at the mall was being readied for auction by the court-appointed receiver as a means to helping pay creditors.

8

Then Councilman, and now Mayor, Ken Siver stepped forward to rally support to save this historic, mostly Mid-Century American art collection from the auctioneer’s block. With City Council and city administration approval, a low-interest loan of $500,000 was arranged and the 18-piece Northland collection became the property of the City of Southfield in April 2015.

The Southfield Public Arts Commission then set about fundraising to repay the loan and

begin restoration of pieces. The first funding campaign was entitled “Free the Bear” in reference to Marshall Fredericks’ iconic Boy & Bear sculpture that was sitting in a warehouse. In May of 2016, the Boy & Bear was placed in the atrium of the Southfield Public Library to great fanfare and more fundraising.

The loan to acquire the art was repaid while fundraising continued to restore, move and secure other pieces in the collection.

COMMUNITY

an unexpected twist. Several people came forward to donate art to the city. “Gratitude” by Jay Lefkowitz was placed in the south roundabout on Evergreen Road.

“Diversity” by John Piet was placed in the north roundabout. “Pioneer Family II” by Andreas Drenters was donated and placed last year at the historic Mary Thompson Farm.

Following the placement of “Pioneer Family” last winter, three pieces from the Northland collection were restored and placed.

“The Prophet” by Sorel Etrog now sits in the south-front garden

of city hall. “The Peacock” by Walter Kraft, that once graced the Peacock Court at Northland, now fully restored stands in the circle in front of the Southfield Library.

And, just recently, “Moby Dick” by Joseph Anthony McDonnell was placed in the public fountain on the southwest side of the library.

Become a donor. Donations may be made through PayPal at SlfdPublicArts@gmail.com or by check payable to the Friends and sent to Mayor’s Office, City of Southfield, 26000 Evergreen Road, Southfield 48076.

Moby Dick located in the fountain of the Southfield Public Library.

FEATURE

SBA is your business resource The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) was created in 1953 as an independent agency of the federal government to aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests of small business concerns, to preserve free competitive enterprise and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of our nation.

We recognize that small business is critical to our economic recovery and strength, to building America’s future, and to helping the United States compete in today’s global marketplace.

Although SBA has grown and evolved in the years since it was established in 1953, the bottom line mission remains the same. The SBA helps Americans start, build and grow businesses. Through an extensive network of field offices and partnerships with public and private organizations, SBA delivers its services to people throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, the U. S. Virgin Islands and Guam.

Now in Michigan, we have more than 870,000 Small Businesses in Michigan. Those small businesses employ 1.8 million and created 66,240 net new jobs. There are approximately 158,892 minority owned businesses in Michigan and black owned businesses are one of the fastest growing segments.

The SBA Michigan District Office has a nationwide network of SBA approved funded resource partners including the Michigan Small Business Development Center,

28

SCORE, three Women’s Business Centers and a Veteran Business Outreach Center. These partners provide high-quality training, counseling, and access to resources specifically designed to meet the needs of small business owners.

The SBA’s resource partners include leading universities and state economic development agencies-experts who understand the business climate in your specific region and industry.

The U.S. Small Business Administration is powering the American Dream of business ownership. We empower entrepreneurs and small business owners with the resources and support they need to start and grow their business. And, the SBA is the only go-to resource and voice for small businesses that is backed by the strength of the federal government.

If you would like to learn more about how the SBA can assist you contact our Michigan District office by phone at 313-226-6075, by email Michigan@sba.gov or visit our website at www.sba.gov/MI. Our Michigan District Office Resource Guide is available online on the SBA

and Chamber website and we offer business plan templates, a Lender Match function, the latest news and free online courses on our website.

Also, be sure to follow us on Twitter at @SBA_Michigan and sign up for our newsletters by including your zip code at www.sba.gov/updates.
