New teachers finding
post-career classrooms
By Mary Rodrtqu*
staff writer
Allen Peterman retired five years
ago from Ford Motor Co. after 34
years with the automaker
At age 56. with two sons still in
high school, Peterman was far from
ready to retire.
So the computer specialist from
Farmington Hills resurrected a career
be began in the late 1940s, that
of schoolteacher.
"It was a field I always enjoyed,said
Peterman, who taught members
of the U.S. Navy electronics and radar
at technical schools in Philadelphia
and Japan from 1947 to 1949.
From board room to classroom is
becoming a trend for some professionals,
who, like Peterman, are
turning to teaching after completing
careers in the business world.
More and more of today's new
teachers aren't bright-eyeiLa>*yearolds
fresh out of college. Some are in
their 50s.
Peterman is director of the computer
laboratory at Madonna College
in Livonia.
"I heard about the job through a
fellow at Ford. He was teaching at
Madonna part-time. A new position
was hfing created for a director of
the academic computer services department."
PETERMAN was selected for the
job. He has done some teaching over
the past five years, but currently his
responsibility for installing a new

work. It's fun.'
— Allen Peterman
Ford retiree
IBM system in addition to running
the computer lab keeps him busy.
"I deal with students in the lab.
We do direct personal tutoring," he
said. "We also publish some of the
school papers there."
He's enthusiastic about his new academic
environment.
"I love it for a variety of reasons."
Peterman said. "I can arrange my
own schedule. For a retiree with an
invalid wife, that's great. Like today,
I came in at 10:30 a.m. and I'll work
until 7 p.m.
"And I enjoy coming to work. It's
fun. Things were at a point at Ford
where it was still interesting, but it
wasn't fun. Here, everyone has been
so n'ce. It's really marvelous."
Those wbo train older students to
become teachers say those older students
bring a wealth of knowledge to
the classroom.
"They don't take everything you
say as gospel truth." said. Dean Jack
Gilroy of Seattle University's School
of Education.
Among the ranks of new older
teachers are former mechanical engineers.

Free cigarettes:
By Janice Brunson
.Staff writer
Cigarettes — balm for the addicted
and bane to the non-smoker.
More specifically, free cigarettes
for prisoners in jail.
The issue surfaced earlier this
month when members of the Westland
City Council questioned buying
cigarettes at city expense for distribution
to prisoners being held in the
local jail.
Westland Police Chief Fred Dansby
submitted a bill for 190.20, which
he said covered the cost of buying
cigarettes for prisoners for "several
rrvmithg "
"We supply them if they want
them. They're a pacifier For years
we didn't supply them and we noticed
more incidents in our blocks. If
they behave
them. We use
agent." Dansby said.
The Westland jail, a lockup center
where prisoners are held for up to 72
hours, holds 10 persons.
Cigarettes are withheld the first
24 hours of confinement. They are
dispensed the remaining 48 hours on
a limited basis, one at a time, if requested.
A guard lights the cigarette
for the prisoner
Following a short discussion,
members of the Westland City Council
unanimously approved earlier
this month payment of $90.20 for
prisoner cigarettes. There have been
no prisoner complaints about smoking
by others.
UNDER MICHIGAN penal codes,
city jails are designated "temporary
lockup facilities" and are not subject
to the state's administrative code oo
jail rules. Local governments establish
operational procedures and, as
such, smoking policies differ from
ooe city to the next
Prisooers held in the Garden City
jail may smoke, providing they are
in one of four Individual cells They
must buy their own cigarettes and
are permitted to keep both cigarettes
and lighters in the cell with
them Smoking Is not permitted In
the detoxificatioo center.
'To be perfectly honest, I can't remember
anyooe we've had back
there wbo han't been a smoker
They're always asking for cigarettes,"
said Capt Roger Wilkes, a
25-year veteran of the Garden City
police and a non-smoker.
'We supply them if they
went them. For years
we didn't supply them,
and we noticed more
incidents in our blocks.

"WE SUFFERED damage, marking
up walls and burning stuff. It
was too much of a threat to lives.
There is no smoking, period," said
Redford deputy chief Lionel Roberts.

depaty chief William Boil. Tha policy
was enacted «-!• years ago foi-
Prisoners in Canton and other city
jails are either serving short-term
sentences or awaiting transfer to
long-term facilities Many are transferred
to the Wayne County jail,
which is subject to state jail rules.
There- is no rule for smoking. Individual
sheriffs set smoking policy.
Wayne County Sheriff Robert Flcano
said smoking is permitted by
inmates In day rooms at the county
jail, providing they are in possession
of their own cigarettes Smoking is
banned during processing, in cells
and in large sitting area/ like the
bull pen.
"It's ooe of the outlets the inmates
have," be said.
Wardens at each of the state's 25
state prisons also set smoking policy
for all areas of the prison except
where food is prepared or in visiting
areas. Smoking is banned in both
areas. It is also banned at the Duane
L. Waters Hospital at Jackson State
Prison in southern Michigan where
all prisoners receive treatment for
serious illness or injury.
JAIL AND PRISON policies oo
smoking are in keeping with Michigan's
new Clean Indoor Air Act that
prohibits smoking In many public
areas, including all child care and
health facilities. The law also requires
restaurants to provide nonsmoking
areas.
The law does not affect the living
areas of facilities that are "equivalent
to a home, " whether or not they
are supported by public funds, according
to John Bensly of the C—tor
lor Health Promotioo In Lansing.
The center is part of the state's Department
