Some of our state forms have had arabic sections for 20 years or more. I suspect you would find the same is true in many states.
Pats Northview Lounge still on the locks at Sault Saint Marie ?
Watched the then unknown band “Heart” perform there when I was stationed at Kincheloe AFB looooong time ago...:o)
Yah Der Hey, Don’tcha Know Ping!
Still trying to convince the wife, that one day I’d like to get a summer home in the UP.
Don’t get to the Sault too often, so I don’t know about Pats Northview Lounge. I’ve done the Antlers quite a few times.
I suppose if you were at Kincheloe you tipped a few at Sky McFly’s.
Really?
Do you have more information?
How did this happen? The Jewish population in NYC is quite a significant percentage of the total NYC population; maybe even higher than the Muslim population around Detroit and certainly higher than the Michigan Mulsim percentage. Yet I do not recall ever seeing any NYS or NYC publication in Yiddish or Hebrew. Do you think this is an indication of discrimination; or stupidity?

Nice one - forwarding to my yooper friends.
In New Jersey you can apply for benefits in English, Spanish, Arabic, Creole, Korean, Portuguese, or Gujarati.

Bring lots of ammo.
I got a little tidbit for you. During the 2000 election debacle, there actually was a group from Republic that were all packed up and armed and ready to go to Florida. I heard the local wisemen talked them out of it.
During the Detroit Riots, a group of National Guard from up here were down in Detroit and were told to set up a road block and ordered not to let anyone through. So they did and a carload of the rioters came up threatening to run the roadblock, hey unloaded a whole belt of 50 cal into that car. I heard that that was about the last of the rioting. I was told they then were told to pack up, police the area for looted stuff, and told to get the hell out of town and dont come back. They did, and they were last seen heading north with their trucks loaded with TVs and Furniture and all kinds of stuff confiscated from the Hood. I have a friend that is a cop up here, and he says that they are still afraid to come up here to some places.
The money is given by the feds and administered by the states. Being federal money probably subjects it to federal laws and probably requires associated paperwork to be printed in predominant immigrant languages.
Gujarati is an Indian language.
Personally I think they should all be in English. When my great grandfather came here from Austria he was required to speak enough english to work.
