Final answer?
Lawsuit about TV show winnings continues in court
Rebecca Kesler had enough
right answers to win $50,000 on
the Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire show in 2010, but her
answers certainly didn't satisfy
34th District Court Judge David
Parrott last week.
Kesler was in front of the TV
cameras again when the ongoing
lawsuit filed by Kevin Hirsch for
breach of contract regarding her
winnings on the show continued
in court. Hirsch contended in his
suit that Kesler had agreed to pay
him one-third of her winnings for
his help in getting her on the quiz
show. He presented copies of
emails between himself and
Kesler and other documents
which convinced Parrott to award
him$13,000 inMay.
Hirsch was represented in
court last week by attorney David
Williams, while Kesler, an attor-
ney, represented herself. The lat-
est hearing was to determine if a
request from Williams for a
receiver to be appointed as a
means of collecting the judgment
amount would be granted.
Williams said Hirsch has been
unable to collect any of the $13,000
from Kesler and that a court offi-
cer has been to her home six
times in an attempt to collect.
Williams also claimed that Kesler
has moved her assets and now
maintains that the entire contents
of her residence belongs to her
husband, Timothy Szetela, or a
trust inhis name.
Kesler responded that the trust
had been set up four years ago,
before her winnings. She has filed
an appeal of the original ruling by
Parrott and cited that appeal in
court to the judge.
She toldParrott that her appeal
switched the jurisdiction to a dif-
ferent court and stayed execution
of the judgment under Michigan
Court Rule 7.107. Parrott's
response was tinged with anger as
he asked Kesler if she had read
rule 7.108 which states that an
appeal does not stay execution.
He also told Kesler that this rule
requires several things to be com-
pleted and that she hadn't com-
pleted or provided those neces-
sary documents.
“Your argument is frivolous
once again,” he toldKesler. “I can't
believe you are that monumental-
ly incompetent,” he continued and
said that her action could be inter-
preted as a criminal contempt of
court.
“I've had it with you,” Parrott
told Kesler. “You went to law
school. You have a law degree. I
can't change the judgment. Had
they filed a response to this, I
would have granted them sanc-
tions.” Parrott said this was the
third time Kesler had filed “frivo-
lous” briefs and it may have been
the fourth or fifth time.
Parrott was visibly angry but
denied the request from Williams
and Hirsch for a receiver and told
them to try less harsh means to
collect the debt.
Williams said that he cannot
garnish Kesler's wages because
she is not working. He also said
that she did have assets in 2011
when therewas a car registered in
her name and that she certainly
had assets when she received her
winnings fromtheTV show.
“Where did it go,” he asked.
The entire exchange was cap-
tured by TV cameras from chan-
nel 7News.

Northville firefighters put in some overtime on a recent Sunday as they collected
more than $2,000 for theMuscularDystrophyAssociation.
The volunteer effort called Fill the Boot, had fire fighters on the streets at intersec-
tions with fire fighters’ boots, collecting donations frommotorists. In Northville, the fire
fighters collected $2,038 July 15, during their off-shift hours.
The total was more than double the amount collected last year and will go toward
finding a cure for 40 neuromuscular diseases, as well as medical treatment, research
and adaptive equipment and summer camps.
Through the annual "Fill the Boot" event, firefighters across the United States and
Canada have been a major contributor to the Muscular Dystrophy Association since
1952, raising more than $350 million. The event is successful thanks to hundreds of

"Northville Township Firefighters and IAFF Local 3961 would like to thank all of the
citizens, commuters, and local businesses of the community for their generosity that
made thisworthy event suchahuge success," noted fire fighter Jeff Sims.
