The district-wide award – presented by the Pontiac Alumni Foundation and its chairman, retired Oakland County Circuit Judge Fred Mester – honors teachers who have made exceptional and longstanding contributions to students. More than 150 students who have consistently earned a position on the honor roll and have perfect attendance also will also be recognized.
Special guests will include prominent attorney Geoffrey Fieger, Detroit Pistons announcer and 105.9 KissFM radio personality John Mason, and the Claflin University Concert Choir of South Carolina, with Dr. Isaiah McGee, Music Department chair.
The event will be held this Thursday, May 18 at 6 p.m. at the Woodside Pontiac Dream Center, 830 Auburn Ave., Pontiac.
Sponsors include Fieger Law Office, General Motors, Pontiac Alumni Foundation, Woodside Bible-Pontiac Dream Center, Chartwells, Unique Catering, Benson Street Bakery and the Pontiac Board of Education.
Michigan suspends license of doctor in pole barn liposuction
GLENN, Mich. (AP) — Michigan has suspended the license of a doctor who authorities say may have endangered patients and the public by performing liposuctions in a pole barn.
The state Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs announced Tuesday that Bradley Bastow’s osteopathic physician’s license is suspended.
The department and the office of Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette filed an administrative complaint saying Bastow performed liposuctions in unsanitary conditions in the pole barn. They also say he improperly disposed of medical waste and had other violations.
Bastow isn’t criminally charged.
Officials earlier said they learned from Allegan County sheriff’s investigators that a doctor was performing procedures in the building in the southwestern Michigan town of Glenn. They say the building wasn’t approved for any business.
