Officials say board vote won't affect taxes Switch strengthens taxing authority Voters would have say
By Bi l l Caspe r and Neal Ha ldane staff writers
S e e edi tor ia l , 6A
A change to a charter township would increase the local govern-ment's taxing power but local offi-cials emphasized Monday that they could not increase taxes without ap-proval of Redford Township voters.
The local board of trustees is con-sidering a complicated switch from the current status of general law township to charter township.
The change is needed to retain
*316,000 in state-shared revenue al-locations eliminated when the state changed its formula for determining those payments.
Legislation requires Redford to become a charter township or city by February 1989 in order to contin-ue receiving those payments, ac-cording to Redford Supervisor James Kelly.

But H voter* approve the change (from general la w to charter township), the township could increase taxea from 2 mills to 5 mills without asking residents to vote on the increase.
By Bill Casp«r staff writer
The local board of trustees stands to gain a little tax-ing authority and Redford Township supervisor James Kelly stands to formally gain a little more power if the local board of trustees decides to switch from a general law to a charter township government.
Redford officials claim taxes could not be increased without approval of voter residents but the change to a charter township would affect local government in other ways.
Most significantly, the supervisor's authority would increase under a charter township while annexation of a
charter township becomes more difficult. Those and other ramifications involved in becoming a
charter township were highlighted in a videotape pre-sented Monday by Michigan Townships Association rep-resentative Sue Hodgman during a board study session on the issue.
"We are not promoting either side of the issue," she told board members before presenting the 24-minute vi-deo. "We have no vested interest in either and this (vi-deotaped) mater ia l is only for informational purposes."

Psychologist guides patients at local agency By A r l e n e F u n k e special writer
Thomas Herzberg has devoted his career to helping the mentally ill.
Herzberg. 56. is a clinical psychol-ogist and executive director of Sub-urban West Community Center, an outpatient mental-health agency headquartered in Redford.
The agency's clients — approxi-mately 700 people per year — don't lie on a sofa and rehash old child-hood grudges. Suburban West con-centrates on helping the clients gain confidence, find jobs and cope with stress.
"We're getting away from talking therapy," Herzberg said. "The em-phasis is on assertive community treatment We work with people in the community and try to solve their everyday problems as they come up."
The agency operates a satellite counseling office in Canton and a job training center in Livonia.
It serves residents of Redford Township, Livonia, Plymouth, Can-ton and Northville. Most clients pre-viously had been hospitalized for moderate to severe problems that rendered them unable to function.
"WHEN PEOPLE leave the hospi-tal, they are discharged to independ-ent living," Herzberg said. "The overwhelming majority are going back to their families or to their apartment, occasionally to a group living situation. They are considered to be well enough to go out and func-tion on their own without supervi-sion, in the overwhelming major i ty of cases."
The agency is increasing its case-load of referrals f rom the general public. These clients are treated for such problems as anxiety, depres-sion, stress and family problems.
Herzberg considers himself a champion of mentally ill people, but he's acutely aware that many people don't share his views.
"There is a lot of fear in the com-munity." Herzberg said. "Anything that people don't understand, there is going to be a lot of suspicion."
Herzberg. a native of New York
close-up City, has spent more than 30 years in the mental health field and has a doctorate in clinical psychology from Wayne State University.
He has been with Suburban West since its beginning in 1978. Previous-ly, he was a staff psychologist for the Northville Regional Psychiatric Hospital and had a part- t ime private practice.
Herzberg also has worked in vet-erans' hospitals, served as a school psychologist and counselor in the Royal Oak school system and taught at Eastern Michigan University, Wayne State and Oakland Universi-ty.
"I'M MUCH more optimistic," Herzberg said. "It used to be, if any-body went into a s tate hospital, it was frequently for a lifetime. They threw away the key."
Less than 3 percent of Suburban West's clients need supervision to keep them from hurting themselves

State releases suggested AIDS education plan By Kevin Brown staff writer
Students in grades seven through 12 should know what AIDS is, how it's spread, myths about the disease and how to prevent it, state educa-tors say.
Those four guidelines are the basis for suggested AIDS teaching in Michigan's public schools.
"We feel that everyone needs to be given the knowledge and the skills to adopt behavior that will protect them f rom contracting the disease," said Barbara Hower. state health ed-ucation specialist.
Local superintendents were sent information on the suggested curric-ulum last week. "What a district does with it is a district's decision." said Hower.
'. . . the key thing we're concerned they understand is how it's not transmitted
— Barbara Hower state health specialist
Local superintendents said they haven't yet reviewed the state pro-gram.
Kenneth Efickson, Redford Union Schools superintendent, said, "I cer-tainly think that what we're doing now is designed to meet the needs of the state law."

Miniature display hosted by YMCA By Bill C a s p e r staff writer
It's a small world — especially for those hobbyists who craft and collect miniatures.
And the YWCA in Redford Town-ship is again putting miniatures on display — along with Teddy Bears — in its sixth annual "Miniature Show.
The public is invited to attend the Sunday, March 20, show and also to enter the competition for both mini-atures and Teddy Bears, said Judy Bobrow, the Y"s director of public relations and fund raising.
The show will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
"A lot of people are into Teddy Bears and miniatures and it seemed like a natural combination," she said. "Anyone can enter a Teddy Bear in the contest. The public will judge the Teddy Bears."
Awards will be given for the most
loved, best dressed, smallest and largest Teddy Bears. Bobrow said
"A LOT of people hand craf t and collect miniatures, tiny replicas of anything from food to furniture to cars," she said. "The miniatures are made to scale to fit in small doll houses, called room boxes.
"We were going to cancel this year 's show until we learned there is so much interest in this activity." Bobrow said. "One vendor is coming all the way from Texas for the show.
"Room boxes will be on display for competition in one room and for show in another room." she said. "A panel of experts will judge the room boxes in competition."
The room boxes will be judged on originality of concept, quality of workmanship and use of scale, Bo-brow said.

Students try to curb pending teacher cuts what's inside By Kevin Brown staff writer
Because some of their favorite teachers may be laid off, some Clarenceville Junior High School students are trying to do something about it.
Heather Neely, 12, said the and three friends a re organizing a letter-writing campaign to Clarenceville Superintendent Micbeal Shi bier. Gov James Blanc hard, s tate Sen. Robert Oeake, state Rep Lyn Bankes, and President Ronald Reagan.
By writing officials, the students say they hope to raise enough money to keep their teachers from being laid off.
"We're asking some of the parents to write sep-ara te lyNeely said.
Kim Maclver, 11, Katy Grant, IX, and Amy Patterson, IS. also a r e heading the letter-writing effort . All four are seventh graders.
"No action has been taken yet" on layoffs.
Shibler said. But it's possible the board of educa-tion could lay off 10 teachers at the end of the school year, h e added. _ —
T H E GOVERNOR li not going to increase the state aid formula significantly, by xero to 2 per-cent," Shibler said. And the district 's costs a re going up 7-9 percent, be said.
While elementary enrollment is expected to re-main stable, junior high and high school enroll-ment Is projected to dip, cutting the district s s ta te aid.
"Something has to give," Shibler said The board will examine possible layoffs in late March or early April.
Maclver said she heard of the layoffs f rom her choir teacher. Dawn Roberts
"She's a good teacher. She's real patient wtth us and does s good job," Maclver said, explaining why the students wanted to do something.
The students said they've heard that about 10
teachers were being laid off due to budget cuts. When they told other students, "A lot of them wanted to help out," Neely said
"We'd like to get other schools involved," Neely added. Teachers at other schools could also be laid off. she said.
So far, SO students have agreed to write letters, they said.
'We said we'd mail them," Neely said.
A LETTER Written by the students for govern-ment officials reads, " I am writing to you as a student f rom the ClareacevUle School Distr ic t Our school is financially going broke.
"A lot of oar teachers are getting laid oil. We eraat to save * think we can do i t "
The students said they talked with some teach-ers about what to do. "They ssy It (letter writing) is a good idea to get involved and to keep at it," Neely said.

SPECIAL SECTION N TODAY'S ISSUE
0<St£ Thursday, February 25 1988
Officials say board vote won't affect taxes C o n t i n u e d f r o m Page 1
He and other township officials, along with the supervisor of Plym-outh Township, maintain that the Headier Amendment would require voter approval to increase Redford's current tax rate if the local board approves a change to a charter township form of government
The bottom line is we lose the revenue sharing money if we stay a general law township," Kelly said Monday night during a board study session on the issue " The board could levy an additional 3 mills ($3 per $1,000 of assessed property val-
ue as a charter township), but only if voters approve."
Plymouth Township Supervisor Maurice Breen supported Kelly's po-sition
"PLYMOUTH TOWNSHIP be came chartered by board resolution in 1979 and we found that our resi-dents were most concerned about tax hikes." Breen said. "But the Headlee Amendment prohibits a tax hike without voter approval and that satisfied our residents "
Charter townships can levy 5 mills of property taxes for general opera-ting purposes Currently. Redford is capped at 2 mills because of its sta-
tus as a general law township Legal opinions support the idea
that the Headlee Amendment would require voter approval of additional taxes if Redford became a charter township by a board of trustee reso-lution.
An analysis of the state law writ-ten by John H Bauckham, an attor-ney for the Michigan Townships As-sociation, supported that opinion
The local board also has the option of seeking voter approval of a char-ter township
But if voters approve the change, the township could increase taxes f rom 2 mills to 5 mills without ask-ing residents to vote on the increase.
Kelly and Redford treasurer Robert Brang said.
UNDER STATE law, if the board votes to become a charter township, local voters have 60 days to petition for a referendum vote on the change of government.
The referendum petitions would have to be signed by eligible Redford voters, equal in number to at least 10 percent of the votes cast for the su-pervisor in the last local election, Redford clerk Joan Reilly said.
Redford residents also have the option to initiate by petition a char-ter township vote without board ac-tion, according to state law.
State officials recently decided to discount Redford's special assess-ments resulting in the cut of state funds. The township asked voters to approve special assessments for street lighting, police operation and other services because it had reached its maximum taxing power as a general law municipality.
Tied in with tBe need to change to a charter, township, Redford must also change the name of some of its special assessments in order to get credit in the state formula.
Kelly said changing the name of some special assessments is needed in order to preserve the $316,000 in s tate payments. Residents woul
have to approve the change from special assessments to ad valorem taxes.
Changing some special assess ments to ad valorem taxes also would genera te an addi t ional $300,000 to $350,000 in business property taxes because ad valorem taxes can be levied against personal property while special assessments cannot.
Kelly said he plans to make a charter township proposal at the board s Monday, March 7 meeting.
A vote on changing the names of some special assessments could come in August.
Switch enhances supervisor's role
^Continued from Page 1
tains most of the administrative authority, while the state charter township act grants the supervisor more authorityover the day-to-day operations of the township
( However, the board of a charter township is authorized to hire a su-perintendent and delegate to that official a wide range of duties that include managing public improve-ment projects and overseeing the operation of township utilities, the maintenance of township property, and terms and conditions of town-ship contracts
If the board does not hire a su-perintendent. those duties become the responsibility of the township supervisor
But Redford deputy supervisor Kevin Keliey said Monday that most of the township's daily admin-istrative duties have long since been assumed by the local supervi-sor because of the practical need to make numerous decisions on a timely basis
SOME REDFORD residents
have expressed opposition to the additional cost of hiring a superin-tendent. but board members have said they don't intend to hire a su-perintendent.
There a r e no s u b s t a n t i v e changes in the duties of the town-ship clerk and treasurer under a charter township, Hodgman said.
The charter township action also recognizes that townships provid-ing police and fire protection, along with water, sewer and other services should be afforded addi-tional protection from annexation, she said
However, a char ter township in-corporated af ter June 1978 is not automatically immune from an-nexation.
Although the authority of the state boundary commission over charter township land is lessened, the commission may order annexa-tion of a portion of a township to avoid instances where portions of a township are completely surround-ed by the annexing city.
The township also can be an-nexed if the action is initiated by township voters.
State offers AIDS guidelines for use by school districts Continued from Page 1
would review the state recommen-dations carefully for i tems that might help the district teach stu-dents about AIDS
CurreDt teaching on AIDS in the Redford Union schools more heavily emphasizes abstinence from sex to encourage AIDS prevention
"THAT'S AN area we feel should have heavy emphasis," Erickson said The state program equally balances teaching on abstinence and safe sex to prevent AIDS.
South Redford School District Su-perintendent Jan Jacobs said, "We want to involve our parents" in re-viewing the state program, along with staff members.
After administrators and parents study the program and tailor it for the district, Jacobs said he hopes to begin an AIDS education program in the district before the school year ends
Currently, the South Redford dis-trict offers some AIDS education for middle school students, he said.
The s tate program was developed by the s tate Board of Education and
public health officials, af ter Gov. James Blanchard signed a bill in No-vember requiring AIDS education in Michigan schools
The four basic guidelines are taught in ways deemed appropriate for three grade levels — seventh and eighth grades, ninth and 10th. and 11-12.
"In severtth and eighth grades, we do an exercise in sorting out the myths about AIDS, what have you heard, what do you think is opinion, fact, or myth." Hower said.
BY THE state program, no less than three class periods for seventh and eighth graders should be devoted to AIDS teaching At the end of the program. "We have the kids develop an action plan on how to communi-cate AIDS information to others," Hower said.
Ninth and 10th graders get in-struction in the four basic categories "at an advanced level plus there are three other areas that we address," Hower said.
In ninth through 12th grades, five class periods should be devoted to AIDS instruction, the state recom-mends.

shops, with professionals teaching people how to make a miniature bunny in a basket, a miniature wom-an s hat and miniature flowers, she said.
"MOST OF the shows partici-pants are miniature vendors and col-lectors. who rent space at the Y for the display and sale of their hand-crafted items," Bobro said "But we encourage amateurs to participate in either the competition or the show display."
This year 's show will. feature a special display of a five-level doll
house, made f rom a hollow log by wood hobbyist Louis Nyikon of Belleville, Bobrow said
A miniature,doll house will be raf-fled off and other door prizes, donat-ed by vendors, will be given away, she said
Admission is $1 per person, plus a nominal charge to take part in the workshops, Bobrow said
Miniature and Teddy Bear con-testants should call Bobrow, 537-8500, by March 14 for entry- informa-tion and miniature vendors should call by March 7 for a show applica-tion

First, she said AIDS is discussed as a communicable disease and how it fits in with others.
"Another thing we address is*he risk behaviors," Hower said, includ-ing sharing of needles, anal inter-course, and sex without a condom
"The third thing we discuss is avoidance and modification of risk behaviors," she said. Equal emphasis is placed on avoiding risk behavior, "or what to do to modify that risk."
In 11th and 12th grades, the four basic areas are stressed again.
"We go into how AIDS affects the immune system, to help understand opportunistic diseases, risk behav-iors and risk-reduction techniques," including abstinence and using con-doms.

If not. ask a MacGowan Elemen-tary School student There may be a little bit of trivia left for those stu-dents to learn about Michigan, but not much.
The Redford Township school stu-dents last week became the teach-ers. sharing their research and dem-onstrating new skills, c ra f t s and cooking expertise on the state to their classmates, school officials and parents.
The kindergarten class stayed close to home, working on a map of the MacGowan neighborhood, while the first grade classes studied con-
servation. nature and scenic spots in the state
Second grade students checked out Michigan agriculture, the highlight of their presentation being the breakfast of Michigan products
Chris Vangoss' fifth grade class became native Americans, with a lit-tle help from a visit by Laughing Cloud, a Michigan Indian who trav-els to schools throughout the state sharing her knowledge of the Wood-land tribes
OTHER AREAS of study included birds of Michigan. Henry Ford and the assembly line. Detroit 's history and the explorer Cadillac, logging camps, the Upper Peninsula and Mackinac Island
Emotionally impaired students studied lakes, pollution and the fish-ing industry And. as did all the classes, they gave a 12-minute pres-entation on their I O D I C
According to MacGowan principal
Diane K Bert, the project, which was first suggested last June, is the only one in the area in which an en-tire school focuses on one subject
Even, student was actively in-volved in the project. Ben said, which began intensively about three weeks ago
Parents were invited to visit dur-ing the three afternoons that the pro-gram was held, with their response being ' terrific. ' Bert said
The students became the teach ers. Bert said, giving the children a chance to shine
Richard Szurek. who teaches the emotionally impaired class, was chairman for the project and se-cured a grant from Wayne County Intermediate School District

It was exciting Bert said but everyone s ready to get back to the regular classroom

or others. On the contrary, most mental pa-
tients are passive and dependent, Herzberg said. They lack the confi-dence to look for a job. are easily imtimidated by a landlord or crum-ple under the weight of family prob-lems.
"Jobs tend to be central for every-body for normal funct ioning." Herzberg said. "The training alone isn't enough You have to find the job. give them the training and fol-low up until they get it together and function on their own."
Suburban West has an eight-mem-ber, voluntary board of directors composed of residents f rom com-munities served by the agency, and a s m a l l g r o u p of f u n d - r a i s i n g "friends "
The agency's SI million annual budget is funded primarily by state money funneled through the Detroit-Wayne County Community Mental
Health Board. Cutbacks by Wayne County, which provides additional funds, have hurt.
All programs are based on an abil-ity to pay. Assistance is available through a weekly fund-raising bingo, held at 10:30 a m Saturdays in the Joy Hall in Livonia That enables Suburban West to accept clients who are unable to pay.
LESS SUCCESSFUL was the agency's recent effort to establish a "Fairweather Lodge" next to St John Bosco Church on Beech Daly. The building, a former convent, was to be a home where former hospital patients would live and work togeth-er in such jobs as janitorial or landscaping services
Neighbors objected, and the Red-ford Township Board denied the re-quest.
Despite setbacks. Herzberg sees obstacles falling. He attributes the changes to patient advocacy groups and families who are educating the
public. In the long run, he believes people's minds will change.
"I 'm optimistic, but it's slow going," Herzberg said. It's human nature (but) I'm hopeful the people in the community who are resistant will change will find out more about what the facts are."
Herzberg points out that mentally ill people "come from the communi-ty
"They are your neighbor, brother or sister." Herzberg said. "Their mental health needs have to be met ."
HERZBERG FORSAKES these weighty issues when he leaves work He and his wife Georgiana, a teacher of occupational therapy at Wayne State University, are refurbishirig a 16-room, early 20th Century-era house in Detroit's Indian Village

Local Ford workers boost production By Larry O Connor slaft wr:ter
Some of Ford Motor Co "s better ideas appear to be coming front the employees
With the help of the company s Employee Involvement (EI) pro-gram the Livonia Transmission Plant "iu^ .ncreased its production capacity as part of a soon-to-be com-pleted $50 million expansion pro-gram
The plant can produce ^100.000 more of its U>D transmissions that art used :n rea r wheel drive cars and full-size light trucks The plant •vill make 8^5 ">00 V>L) transmis-sions annualK
II.gh sales of Ford full-sized light trucks spurred the need for expan-sion of the manufacturing plant.
which services 13 assembly plants The expansion was completed in
11 a years Nearly 200 jobs were saved as a result of the expansion, according to plant manager Gene Wise No new jobs will be added, Wise said
Instead, management has relied on the workers already employed at the plant Hourly employees, super-visors. process engineers and ma-chine tool vendors all have had a role in the expansion process
EMPLOYEE TEAMS, including both hourly and salaried workers, were formed within the plant to look at ways of improving machinery and production
As a result. Ford officials said money has been saved and quality-has been improved. The $50 million price lag for the plant upgrade could
have been two or three times higher, they said
One of the reasons which led to that was a heck of a strong team ef-fort by Gene Wise and the plant team plus the UAW members, ' ' said Henry Nickol. general manager of the Transmission and Chassis Divi-sion of Ford's-Nffth Afnertean Auto-motive Operations There was a tight teamwork situation here."
A total of 15 teams were formed in the plant with hundreds of em-ployees providing input on how to improve machinery In some cases, hourly employees helped design ma-chines. machine layouts and gauging systems
Glynn Robuaille of Livonia, for example, had a large part in the de-signing the newlv refurbished output shaft machinery at the plant
ROBUAILLE. AN hourly em-ployee. went out to various vendors and looked at all the options, includ-ing the possible purchase of new high-tech machinery Robua i l l e found a way to improve existing ma-chinery
The renovation totaled $200,000, which is a far cry from the $650,000 cost of a new machine
We were lucky to have Glyi r., who has 25 years of lathe experience," said Rodger Wantin, team manager of the project. He saw the opportu-nity to redo the existing lathe It's very flexible, yet using the base of the original "
Such involvement of an hourly worker was almost unheard of 20 years ago But a more competitive industry has brought a more pro-gressive attitude to both manage-
ment and workers "They didn't weigh your opinion
like they do now." Robitaille said. "Now they really go for it "
And all parties — management, union and employees — find the shift in thinking beneficial
"We had to accomplish a lot in a short period," said J im O'Neill, man-ufacturing manager at the plant "We recognized the fact that our em-ployees have a lot of knowledge and a lot to contribute "
"IT'S NICE to come up with a pro-gram which puts hourly and salaried workers together." said Frank Gross, chairman of UAW Local No 182. which represents hourly em-ployees at the plant. "It helps to prove once again the American worker is able to take the ball and run with it."
Jack Waldecker of Brighton, an hourly employee, went along with a team to West Germany for nine days to look at new machinery for the plant's pinion gear finishing opera-tion. Pinion gears at the plant now receive a three-stage diamond hon-ing process, designed to reduce dis-tortion
"We're proud to help them," Wal-decker said. "We're proud they came to us and include us in this Especial-ly in a high-tech operation like this They < management) had enough faith in me to send me to Germany.
"I think it all started back in 1980,'" Waldecker added "It looked like they were going to shut the doors here They big car was down and we didn't have a small transmis-sion More or less, it started to hit home."

Legislator calls for privately-run jails By Jeff Counts staff writer
Livonia uses ^ *\ northern jail
More people in western Wayne County could be spending time in jail if state legislators approve a pack-age of bills aimed at allowing local governments to hire private contrac-tors to run jails.
Lawmakers are scheduled to hold hearings on the legislation in M?rch said state Sen R Robert Geake R-Northville, who crafted the package The hearings will be held before the Senate Corrections Committee
Currently the state is allowed to use outside contractors to run pris-ons. although thenTare no "such faciP" ities in operation However, s tate
ly in Wayne County, a re inadequate for the housing of prisoners," Geake said in a press release "This situa-tion has resulted in the inappropriate release of many persons awaiting trial on serious felony charges as well as those already convicted of misdemeanors "
He said. ' Public jails are expen-sive and local counties should have the option of contracting with pri-vate firms "
The legislation is also the result of a recent Attorney General opinion that said the state may not confine those convicted of misdemeanors in a jail owned and operated by a pn-
law precludes counties and other lo-cal governmental units from running private jails, said Geake. whose dis-trict includes Livonia. Redford Plymouth and Canton
The 16-bill legislative package was dratted in response to "citizen -
complaints that people aren't being held in jail." said Geake
The Wayne County Association of Chiefs of Police has endorsed the private jail concept and has called for legislation allowing it
OVERCROWDING at the Wayne County Jail makes it difficult for law enforcement officials to find jail space for people sentenced in west-ern Wayne County on misdemeanor charges The situation has forced the Livonia Police Department to resort to sending inmates to a northern Michigan jail to serve their sentenc-es
"At the present time jail facilities throughout the state, and parlicular-
vate firm The ruling said Tawffialc-ers have the power to change the law. according to Geake
GEAKE SAID he expects opposi-tion to the legislation f rom sheriffs and unions Sheriffs a re now respon-sible for running county jails He said that opposition would be partly based on the fact that private firms could hire jail workers cheaper than can sheriffs
Dale Davis, a spokesman for the Michigan Sheriff's Association, ac-knowledged that thousands of jobs in sheriffs departments could be lost statewide and said the group opposes the running of jails by private firms. He said the legislation could create as many problems as it would solve
It's a poorly drafted piece of leg-islation.'" he said adding that it brings up the questions of how jail officers will be trained, how much force they would be allowed to use and how much punishment they could dole out
He said the legislation doesn't ad-dress the questions of liability or
who would be responsible for in-specting private jails.
He was critical of the package, claiming it was pushed because "Wayne County government has failed in providing enough jail space Now the rest of the state will be penalized because of that "
Although the association is op-posed to the running of jails by pri-vate firms, it hasn't taken a formal stand on the package, he said, adding that the association wants to meet with Geake "We just want to see the best possible legislation "
Redford Township Police Chief James Barclay said he would "wel-
^come anything" that would help te department imprison people convict-ed of misdemeanor offenses
"We can keep them for 72 hours and that 's it," he said, adding that that 's the length allowed by slate law for his lockup " And nine times out of 10 the Wayne County Jail is
Sen . R. R o b e r t G e a k e
too full of persons on felonies to ac-cept persons convicted of mis-demeanors
"I 'm sure the courts would like an alternative." he said.
Livonia Police Chief William Crayk said he thinks "most chiefs are looking at whatever methods" there are to house inmates serving time on misdemeanor convictions, and added that privately run jails for those types of inmates wouldn't be as difficult to run because the nature of their crimes is less serious

A drunken driving or larceny con-viction in Livonia could mean more than a jail sentence it could mean a trip to northern Michigan
The district court in Livonia start-ed sending some people convicted of misdemeanor charges to the Presque Isle County Jail in Rogers City two months ago because the Wayne County Jail is too crowded, said Livonia Police Chief William Crayk
He said Livonia officers make the more than 250-mile trip weekly to drop off inmates who will serve f rom 30 to 90 days in the jail in the northern resort town that is nearly at the Straits of Mackinac
After serving their sentences the local sheriff gets them a bus ticket and drops them off at the bus stop for the ride home said Crayk
He said housing inmates in north-
He said Westland is able to get most inmates in the Wayne County Jail or placed in a work program that puts those sentenced on mis demeanor charges to work on county projects on weekends
Mike Ratz. undershenff of Preque Isle County, said he has housed as many as four people from Livonia in the 18 t>ed jail But he has had as many as 10 inmates from the Detroit area
It's been no problem " he said, "and it has even been a money-maker for the county "
The county has a contract to house inmates from Wayne and Oakland counties, along with Dearborn ana Livonia-The county receives $35 per day for housing an inmate, which is nearly half the cost of keeping an in-mate in the Wayne County Jail, said police in suburban Detroit
Ratz said Mackinac County in the Upper Peninsula takes inmates from

THE WESTLAND Police Depart ment has looked into housing in-mates in outstate jails, but has yet to send any there said Inspector Paul Schnarr
We have been looking at a ser-vice that finds jail space around the s ta te and then transports them there." he said

Wayne County. Ratz has set up spe-cial visiting days on Sundays so the families can make the more than 500-mile round trip he said
He said he has received no com-plaints from inmates who end up serving their sentences so far away from home

When that happens we just call the people down state and have them pick up their guys '
Highway plans get area input By Wayne Peal staff writer
Michigan Department of Trans-portation officials will meet today with community leaders and resi dents from throughout southeast Michigan to discuss upcoming road projects
But they warn cutbacks in federal funding could reduce action on all but top priority projects
Today's meeting will help set s tate highway financing priorities, in light of the reduced federal support It will also gather comments for Transportation 2020. a privately fi-nanced study of America's highway needs
THREE PROJECTS assured of being financed at some level in the coming year involve completion of the 1-696 extension, widening 1-75 in the Pontiac Auburn Hills area and extension of Haggerty Road north-ward.
Widening 1-75 is expected to coin-cide with development of the Oak-land Technology Park, a massive office complex in Auburn Hills
The 1-696 extension, when com-pleted, will provide a major eas t / west highway between Farmington Hills and St. Clair Shores
Though road officials hope some-day to extend a route north f rom Haggerty, this year's work will pri-marily be confined to improving the Haggerty/I-275 interchange, assist-ant MDOT section manager Theresa Petko said.
Though extending 1-275 f rom western Wayne County as far north as 1-75 in northwestern Oakland County had once been considered. Petko said the Haggerty extension would only extend as far north as M-59. west of Pontiac
The 1-696 extension is expected to be completed this year, road officials said.
1-696 is expected to be the first of the thiet major projects completed "We expect to let the last contract on that sometime this year ." Petko said
Road repairs will receive the bulk of state transportation money, she added
"OUR MAJOR concern is to take care of what we have "
Federal support for all road proj-ects, she added, has shrunk from $105 million in 1985 to $91 million in the new 1989 budget.
Mandatory budget cuts necessitat-ed by federal Gramm-Rudman defi-cit-reduction law as well as changing federal priorities a re responsible, Petko said
A public forum on road needs is scheduled for 9 a m today at the De-troit Edison Auditorium, Detroit
Input from local residents will determine how the s tate spends money under its highway investment plan A statewide forum will be held Thursday. March 24. in Lansing
The state's highway investment plan extends to 1994 There is cur-rently $9 billion impounded in the state Highway Trust Fund for con-struction projects.
MDOT officials said the money should be used to match federal grant money, increasing the overall amount available to improve Michi-gan highways The state is opposed to using the federal grant money for non-construction projects, including clean-air programs. MDOT officials said

Molding tomorrow is today's responsibility
OUTSIDE MY window construc-tion equipment rumbles and roars, gouging out a new future for this newspaper. The trees are being cut down, the earth removed and land plotted.
In many ways our new construc-tion exemplifies what is happening all over the suburbs. *
And while seeing a tree being cut down does cause a bit of sadness, watching our company grow makes all the years ' efforts feel like time well spent.
We need to renew And sometimes that means doing away with the old and building for the future It's a les-son that many metropolitan areas have already learned and from which they a re reaping the benefits — much to our detriment.
THE SUBURBAN Detroit area is slow in coming around. Perhaps newness scares folks But we really have to stop being frightened.
For years now, we have lived in a metropolitan area whose infrastruc-ture has combatted the obvious — that to remain vital, a city must change, grow, develop and, most im-portantly of all, renew.
Many of our suburban communi-ties are facing that same quandary to-day Citizens groups are sprouting up all over, proclaiming the sanctity of the American bedroom community. Bedroom communities might have
Bedroom communities might have been good 20 years ago. But they will be worthless 20 years hence.
been good 20 years ago. But they won't be good for anything 20 years hence.
Believe it or not, Livonia was new Not so many years ago, really. And people laughed.
"Who, af ter all. would want to go and live out in that God-forsaken wilderness?" the skeptics queried.
They were wrong, of course. Just as they were wrong about the need for Cobo Hall, Joe Louis Arena and (excuse me while I chuckle) the Pal-ace in Auburn Hills.
Now not everything that is new is necessarily good for the growth of the metropolitan area But Detroit, more than any other metro area, has cheated itself by denying the need for developing a well-rounded met-ropolitan area.
THANKFULLY, SOME folks take the bull by the horns and make sure the renewal process carries us through Henry Ford II did that. Lit-tle Caesar 's Mike llitch Is doing it today by investing his money in the Fox project in Detroit.
Steve Barnaby
But the central city isn't the only place that needs to be renewed
Look around at your community. Frankly, what's good for today won't be worth anything for your children if planning stops at next year or the year af ter We must think about 20 vears from now
We do need to leave a legacy for our children, a legacy of a well-planned community that is competi-tive with the rest of Midwestern America And to be competitive, we will need better planning, forged through cooperation between com-munities.
The goal shouldn't be to stop de-velopment, but to map it out in an orderly fashion
As suburban communities grow, they need their own hotels, conven-tion facilities, business and mercan-tile centers. We are becoming more than just extensions of a major city, we are becoming a metropolis unto ourselves

Soapy stories 'excellent' To the editor.

Column was unfair attack on attorneys To the ed i tor
It seems the editorial pages of the Observer & Eccentric Newspapers are becoming filled with increasing-ly strident at tacks on attorneys who represent accident-injured people.
The latest punch comes from Steve Barnaby's column "It's time t o stop those who prey on tragedy" (Feb. II). His simplistic attack on at-torneys is served up like some sacri-fice at a shrine to the insurance in-dustry, corporations and their de-fense attorneys.
In Barnaby's myopic view, person-al injury attorneys "prey" on vic-t ims — they're "ambulance chasers" and "self-employed scalpers" who try to figure out "another scam" to make "big bucks out of public mis-fortune."
You can do better than that Steve — you left out "hired mouthpieces," "sharks" and "vultures."
Thanks too for opening my eyes, when all along I thought I have been making a living helping victims of drunk and negligent drivers, poorly designed and maintained roads and defective products.
At the same time, my colleagues and I can take satisfaction in the fact that our legal effor ts have con-tributed to improved safety on the roadways and the removal of haz-ardous products from the market place.
For example, products liability lawsuits on behalf of innocent se-verely injured or deceased con-sumers have led to the recall, rede-sign or removal from the market of f lammable baby clothes, asbestos, exploding Drano containers, the Dal-kon Shield and the Pinto automobile, among numerous others.
I appreciate that is not enough to focus on the benefits that have been accomplished for injured individuals and society. There persists an er-roneous perception about us because of the well-publicized small minority within our profession who ignore ethical standards
Recently, a few lawyers engaged in reprehensible conduct in soliciting clients f rom the next of kin of vic-
tims of the Northwest Flight 255 dis-aster.
Efforts are underway to expel such malefactors from practicing law and otherwise to enforce the pol-icy resolution of The American Trial Lawyers Association.
I wouldn't expect Mr Barnaby to accept a blanket condemnation of his profession becuase.of a few mali-cious or negligent journalists like the reporter whose false story of a rape charge destroyed a person's reputa-tion and led to a million dollar ver-dict against the newspaper
Therefore let us resist the tempta-tion to sterotype and to inflame prej-udice with ignorant and biased characterizations. Let us serve the common good bv seeking the truth

points of view Uncle Sam is assuming character of loan shark
Admirable, endearing under pressure GRACE UNDER pressure is not
only an admirable trait, it is also one of the most endearing
Consider Bruce Babbitt, the for-mer Arizona governor who surprised no one by dropping from the Demo-cratic presidential contenders last week In his departure speech, he said he ran a good race
"I was in it right up to the begin-ning," he said.
It probably says something about elections that some candidates are more at t ract ive leaving a race than they were while submerged in the fray.
Consider also Peter Oppegard and Jill Watson, the figure skaters who until Saturday were the only medal winners f rom the United States in this year's Olympics.
A lot of people from these parts were closely watching these two as they have for nearly two years Al-though Oppegard is from Knoxville and Watson from Bloomington. Ind., they have lived in Bloomfield Hills for nearly two years while training almost daily at the Birmingham Ice Arena under the watchful eye of
rRich Per lberg
coach Rita Lowery, also of Bloom-field Hills
THEIR DARING leaps, twists, swoops and death spirals have also come under the scrutiny of ice arena regulars who virtually adopted the skating stars and provided a well received home away from home.
Such derring-do was so well per-formed in practice that it was a shock to watch the TV screen last Tuesday night and see Watson slip early in the program during a rela-tively routine double axel move.
What goes on in your mind at such a point? Before your friends, the au-dience, the world and, most import-ant, the judges, the years of diligent practice are jeopardized by a mis-
take at the worst possible moment. The majority of your program is still ahead. How do you keep your con-centration on the task at hand ra ther than on the damaging but permanent mistake 1
If you are Watson and Oppegard. you press forward, putting to use all the practice, training and discipline.
"I just let my body take over and we did it," Watson said.
DWELLING ON the past is pretty wasteful, whether it be for life or merely for the beginning of a 41*-minute skating program. The two put " the past behind them and moments later Watson was superb in a flying, twisting jump that Oppe-gard said convinced the two that the coveted medal was theirs.
Babbitt never came close to the moment of truth that Watson and Oppegard successfully mastered.
Even though the results were quite different, all three responded like champions in their public denoue-ment This proves nothing profound, other than it takes more than a scoreboard — or a ballot box — to judge the winners
I DON'T remember Political Sci-ence 101 I don t remember Western Civilization 314
I hate to admit it, but I don't even remember Copy Editing 211
But the federal government is making darn sure I remember that I owe them the cool $10,000 I bor-rowed nine years ago for my college education
Now, don't get me wrong With over $1 billion unpaid last year on guaranteed student loans, defaulting is serious business.
In fact, it's so serious that federal agents are intensifying Operation Deadbeat. their crackdown against defaulters They're not just garnish-ing^ wages anymore. J i ow- they ' r e -seizing homes, tax returns, automo-biles and yachts
And they should Abusers should be abused I say do it Moslem style — an eye for an eye, a foot for a foot Pound for pound and buck for buck
BUT I'M angry — and with good reason Just look at the profile those federal agents say fits many of my former classmates who aren't pay-ing back their loans - -
They passed the bar, and, now they're earning $50.000-plus a year
Bil l Ko le
in plucky law practices Or Fortune 100 firms picked them up, and now they're living in suburban chateaus. driving company BMW's and doing lunch on chubby expense accounts
Now look at me
I'm a newspaper reporter earning $23,000 a year, which is. as Stevie Wonder once sang, "livin" just
I drive a 1975 VW Rabbit with 114,000 miles on the odometer and the hand of God himself on the en-gine
I rent a small but comfortable bungalow on Detroit's upper east side
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking. "Hey, what 's this guv's problem"' Doesn't he realize that we're all in this together? That we're all on the same planet, toiling miserably under the curse of Adam 1
That we all face stacks of bills1" But I'm not complaining about re-
paying my student loans I'm griping about the government 's heat, which is aimed at defaulters but still blows
EVERY MONTH. I get an official-looking statement in the mail It po-litely thanks me for last month's $100 payment and soberly asks for this month's share
But af ter rent, utilities, groceries, diapers for our 5-month-old son and dog food for our 100-pound living se-curity system, there's inevitably too much month left at the end of the money.
I make my loan payments, but they're not always on time
— And now. the Feds a r e screaming for their money in a way that makes me want to peek through the cur-tains every now and then to make sure my decrepit VW Rabbit is still in the driveway.
I say go af te r the defaulters, guys, and go af ter them with gusto But stop threatening me, my family and my credit rating
If I wanted to be intimidated. I would have financed my education with real loan sharks
Bill Kole is a reporter for the Rochester Eccentric
The Michigan House: It's just like boot camp SOME DAYS I don't see how guys
like John Bennett of Redford, Bill Keith of Garden City, Sandy Brotherton of Farmington and Dick Young of Dearborn Heights can stand it.
They're s tate representatives who have been around 15 or 20 years or more And the Michigan House of Representatives operates much like military boot camp.
Boot camp is a game of hurry up and wait — you rush someplace and stand in line for two hours. That's tolerable when you're 18 or 20 years old and know it's going to end in a few weeks. But when you're a veter-an, it becomes a royal pain, not to mention a waste of taxpayers' mon-ey and your own time.
THE HOUSE leadership - that's Speaker Gary Owen. D-Ypsilanti, and cadre — put the brakes last week on the Senate's effort to pass three educational quality bills.
Those bills stemmed from the 1987 Harden Commission report to the state Board of Education. They had to do with kindergarten through 12th-grade public school curriculum, long-range planning and an educa-tional improvement report to the public.
CH Tim Richard
Now. those measures (SB 547-549) were reported out of the Senate Edu-cation Committee on 4-0 bipartisan votes with one member absent. There are controversial elements, but they won't be debated because two of the measures couldn't make it to the Senate floor
Owen's position is to throw the ed-ucational quality bills, along with Gov. J im Blanchards "tax equity" package, into a 16-member joint committee of senators and repre-sentatives and negotiate the entire package All the Senate Democrats and enough Republicans went along to delay all three bills.
I 'VE HAD a gut feeling about the House for a long time, but Senate Majority Leader John Engler. R-Mount Pleasant, finally put it into words.
"The House leadership treats its
members like children," Engler said in a conversation last week "It stifles debate It serves the people who run it."
OK, so Engler is a partisan But he's absolutely correct. Attend any sessions of the House and Senate at random and you'll notice:
• The Senate debates bills, and you hear plenty from both sides Only a handful of House members speak On the day in question, the Senate spent nearly three hours de-bating bills while the House floor leader announced, barely an hour into the session, " there will be no more voting today."
s The Senate moves bills prompt-ly — as evidenced by the effort to pass the educational quality bills The House stores them in committee and lets them sit on the calendar for months, passing them in a rush at the end of the session. Notice the length of the House calendar
• Senators have a tendency to de-bate a bill on its merits, then vote it up or down The House leadership plays power broker by tying many bills together and vote-swapping un-der pressure of deadline.
BLANCHARD'S posture in this is disappointing.
In five years as governor, he has demonstrated strong interest in edu-cation Yet before he will allow any educational quality bills to become law, he insists — "first ." to use his own words — that his '"tax equity" package be passed
You know that four-year-old pack-age: more taxes on banks, more tax-
es on insurers a tax on lottery winn-ings. a tax on military pay and so on — $250 million worth
Well, in three tries, Blanchard hasn't been able to get it passed, so now he and Owen are holding the ed-ucational quality bills hostage in or-der to get "tax equity" passed
This observer has disagreements
with the Republican school-financing plan But one has to give Engler and his Senate colleagues high marks for developing a plan and offering it for prompt debate
And I still wonder bow the veteran state reps can tolerate years of boot camp

School chiefs criticize Blanchard's tax idea By Jeff C o u n t s staff writer
Gov. J a m e s Blanchard sent up a trial balloon this week on school fi-nancing and local school superin-tendents took aim.
The balloon was an idea to allow school districts to levy income taxes to augment property taxes to raise money for education
An increase in the state sales tax has been proposed by the state Board of Education as a way to dis-tribute money to school districts in a more equitable manner
But Blanchard discussed the pro-posal this week while attending the National Governors' Association winter meeting in Washington, D C., saying it's unlikely state voters
would approve a hike in sales tax Michael W'ilmot. Garden City
School superintendent, said a local income tax used to support schools would be like a state income tax in-crease. and noted tfiat "the last time Blanchard proposed an increase in the state income tax. he was cruci-fied."
"It s a back door approach to a state income tax Increase," he said
James Carli, Livonia School su-perintendent, said the income tax suggestion "is just a way of shifting the problem back on local communi-ties."
The Legislature is attempting to change school financing so that edu-cation opportunities in rich and poor school districts are equal
Blanchard has proposed a $250
million effort to improve public edu-cation. but has faced opposition from legislators seeking property tax cuts.
Carli said the school-aid formula could be used to provide equal edu-cational opportunities, but he said the s tate should contribute more money.
The present formula is designed to send state money to school districts that need it Districts that have high property valuations are usually out-of-formula and receive less or no general state aid.
"I really don't think an income tax would go." said John Hoben, Plym-outh-Canton school superintendent, who echoed Carli's criticism that the equity issue in education wouldn't be a problem if the state properly fund-ed the aid formula
Michael Shibler. Clarenceville su-perintendent. rejected the income tax idea, and said he would support an increase in the sales tax as a way to raise money to improve education and make sure that poorer districts have equal education opportunities
"What would happen in communi-ties where there's high unemploy-ment?" Shibler said of any new in-come tax
He agreed with other area educa-tors' assessment of the state school aid formula, saying that more state money should be funneled into it.
"It looks like the state's trying to make local officials the scapegoat again, " said Woody London, assist-ant superintendent of business ser-vices for the Wayne-Westland School District.
London j»aid the district is already-paying for 55 percent of the cost of educating students
"An income tax is too unreliable." he said It's subject to unemploy-ment and inflation."
He said the sales tax and property tax are more stable tax systems
"I don't think the "electorate would go for either a sales tax or an in-come tax " said Jan Jacobs, South Redford School superintendent. "I think Blanchard was going in the right direc tion with trying to close the tax loopholes That would yield significant dollars "
He said a local income tax would be difficult to administer in Redford Township because it has two school districts
"We've got a good formula." he said "We just need the state to put the money into it "
Jacobs said that would eliminate the inequity of spending on educa-tion.
Redford Union School Superin-tendent Kenneth Erickson agreed that the s tate should put money into education to eliminate the inequity, but he called an income tax an "m-
"triguing" option especially for a property-poor district like Redford Township
He said the s late should play a role in redistributing the wealth to school districts He said Blanchard s income tax suggestion is just "anoth-er way of throwing the problem back to the local districts."

The peace and quiet of the Red-ford Public Library makes you think it's just another average day at the local book nook.
Routine, yes. Average . . . that's hard to say since what is going to happen during the hours the library is open is difficult to predict.
Jeannine Davidson ought to know As the children's librarian, she ad-mits that on some days she wishes she had "a ticket to Timbuktu."
"Some days it's very quiet and very orderly," she said. "Other days all heck breaks out, and that's when you wish you had a pair of roller skates or a ticket to Timbuktu."
For the most part the library staff handles a lot of reference questions, helps patrons, gives out directional information on tax forms, and checks in and checks out a large vol-ume of books.
Sandwiched in between are special programs for children and families and tax preparation assistance for senior citizens.
The library is under the tutelage of Marjorie Hoag. the director Da-vidson is pulling double duty because of the absence of a librarian, work-ing with children and young adults and doing reference work.
But, according to Davidson, the backbone of the library is the com-munity service aides and student as-sistants
THE AIDES, like Sabine O'Leary and Theresa Kieltyka who are work-ing toward master 's degrees in li-brary science, help with the clerical tasks and check books in and out.
"We couldn't function without them," Davidson said. "They help out a great deal."
The student assistants come from local high schools and colleges and do some of the tedious jobs like shelving books, processing periodi-cals and shelf reading, "one of their favorite activities," Davidson said with a chuckle.
Carrie Lengyel »& a student a t Henry Ford Community College who's been working as an assistant for about a year She likes the job because it's close to her Redford home, but admits it hasn't convinced her to study library science.
"I could never handle being a li-brarian." she said. "It's too tedious for me to do the rest of my life. The librarians do a good job. but I could never do what they do."
The visitors at the library Monday were there for a variety of reasons. One man stopped in on his lunch hour to check on a book, while Kath-leen Cooke was there with her three children, so that her Miehael could work on a report on Michigan be was doing for school.
Rosanne Paul also was there be-cause of a report her son had to do for school. She was tracking down some research material on one of the signers of the Constitution, while1
her son. Jeremiah, 2, played with a wooden truck at her feet.
"We have encyclopedias at home, but I 'm trying to get him more," Paul said. "And I really don't know
what I'm doing, it's been so long since I had to do a report myself ."
THERE WAS a steady flow of peo-ple at the checkout counter. Some were returning books for themselves or relatives, while others like Mike Gibbons were checking out books
"I- usually c o m e onee or twice a month when my books are due." he said. "I bring them back and get something else "
A typical day at the library? May-be yes, maybe no
"If you want to see chaos in ac-tion, come in on a Thursday af ter-noon when we have the tax prepara-tion," Davidson said. "There's never enough parking places, and it's hard to make everyone happy."

Munch, munch Girl Scouts launch cookie sale
It could be considered a rite of spring.
Each year thousands of young girls hit the streets, order sheets in hand, with just one question on their mind: "Would you like to buy some Girl Scout cookies?"
It's not a hard question to ask be-cause, for the most part , people are ready and waiting for the girl scouts.
"Everyone loves Girl Scout cook-ies," said Marianne Fagan of Brown-ie T n x v 861 in Redford. "We don't have to sell, people look for us."
Yep . . . it's that t ime cookie lov-ers have been waiting for . . . The Girl Scout cookies are here.
For your sweet tooth, there's sev-en types of cookie to choose — Choc-olate Chunks, the ever-popular Thin Mints. Echo (chocolate sandwich cream) , Trefo i l s (old-fashioned shortbread), Do-si-Dos (peanut but-ter sandwich cream), Samoas (a co-conut and chocolate concoction) and Tagalongs (peanut butter and choco-late).
Girls in the Michigan Metro Girl Scout Council, which includes Livo-nia and Redford Township, will be selling cookies at various locations Feb. 26 to March 20.
THE SALE generates more than 50 percent of Girl Scouting's annual operating budget and proceeds pay for such things as sending Girl Scouts to the U.S. Space Camp, Girl Scout camp maintenance and upkeep and local troop projects.
Troop 861, based at Roosevelt Ele-mentary School in Redford, will have three cookie booths at the Farmer Jack Supermarket, Six Mile and Inkster Road, on Saturday, Feb 27 and March 5, to round out its indi-vidual cookie sales.
The Brownies — with some help from their parents — have been busy taking orders for several weeks and it looks like Jennifer Brooks will be the troop's top cookie seller with 254 boxes.
And the secret to Jennifer's sue-

I have always wanted to have my writing analyzed, but couldn't a f fo rd It. So 1 welcome an opportunity to have an expert expose my dark side, and I hope some good points, too.
I 'm a teacher of long standing and keep my finger in the educational pie.
Thank you very much for you time and effor t .
J.C., Livonia
Dear J.C.. I have selected your letter to ana-
lyze this week partly because you are a teacher of long standing, but do not have completely copyblock handwriting as do many school teachers. The most obvious deviation being reduction in size.
A second reason is that as I peruse your handwriting. I find a woman who cannot be read like an open book Your basic personality "points to one who is more of an introvert than extrovert.
In interpersonal relationships, you put distance between yourself and others You may not be real comfort-

Concentration is well developed. Good intellect is evident Logic and analytical ability characterize your thinking pattern.
Currently, it seems that something is amiss in your life. You are not feeling appreciated and may be
lacking in enthusiasm. Perhaps you are not hearing any appreciation or feedback for your conscientiousness and dedication Can this be related to the resentment I see in your handwriting''

E x p r e s s w r i t t e n t h a n k s f o r f a v o r s Dear Joan:
»-A friend recently did a favor for me by giving me some information 1 needed to proceed on a project. It in-volved his contacting someone he knew and that person talking to me at length and even writing up some instructive materials. What is a proper way to say thank you''
E.L., Beverly Hills
When someone does you a favor, it's wise to go on record with your thanks before you forget about it If you become known as someone who jots a line to say thanks, you will also become known as someone who is thoughtful and well-mannered
People will be more inclined to ex-tend you extra consideration, seeing that you value their willingness to be helpful and are ready to reciprocate
Your sending me the information
was a lifesaver I made the presenta Hon with flying colors, and it was an important one for the company I re-ally owe you one Thanks'" Dear Joan:
Sometimes it seems I spend my life on the phone. I have a problem with cutting people off and not sounding rude. What are some sim-ple cut-off lines''
I.E., Royal Oak
When you want to cut a person short on an undesired conversation, there are ways of doing it that are more kind than blunt
• Explain that your secretary has just announced an urgent call from a member of senior management
• Prepare the person for your finishing the call by saying some-thing like " Jane, before I have to

hang up. I wanted to mention that
• Suddenly remember your next meeting "George, I see by my watch that I'm due in the conference room in i ' j minutes I 'm afraid we'll have to continue this another time "
• Interrupt the other person s ramblings by sounding very pres-sured "Look. Paul. 1 have to finish the chairman s speech and a press release, in addition, this afternoon I'm afraid I have to go Forgive me. '
• "Look, Debbie, we have a lot to talk about Let's wait until we < an talk it over face to face some time
There should be good lines among these for you to make a fast exit f rom the phone next time you need to
Dear Joan: 1 am finding my looks a problem. I
feel as though I'm not taken serious-ly enough because of my appear-ance. What can I do to keep the sub-
ject on business when the person I'm speaking with gets that deep-into-
my-eyes look0 B K . Troy
There was an article in the Wall Street Journal not too long ago about a young professional wearing glasses with plain lens in order to be taken more seriously I suggest you try that for starters
Looks can be a problem in some professions, there is no doubt of that If the person coming on to you is get-ting off the focus of your business, mention your spouse or significant other in some casual way We saw the movie so and so the other night and we both agreed it was great" or
This happens to be the restaurant where we had our first date Those romantic remarks made referring to your significant other tend to stop unwanted attention
Conservative funds do well over long run Id January 1986. my husband, who
is 62. retired and took a lump sum withdrawal f rom the company. Ap-proximately three-fourths of this money was eligible for a tax-sheltered IRA.
We invested through a broker who suggested American Funds. After telling him we were super conserva-tive, be put us into Europacific, Gov-ernment Securities. Washington Mu-tual and Income Fund of American.
We have some uncertainty about the soundness of this—investment-Would you please comment?
I am 55, if that enters into the matter . Perhaps you should know that 34 percent of our investment is in Government Securities. 16 per-cent in Europac, 49 percent in Wash-ington Mutual and 4 percent in In-come Fund
With the big break that has oc-curred in stock prices, you probably have looked at the quotes on your funds and are concerned that their values have dropped
If you bought them in early 1986. it is very likely that even though they may be down substantially from the highs they subsequently-reached. they may be little changed from where thev were at that time
It would appear to me that your broker kept your request in mind and put you in conservative issues.
THE GOVERNMENT Securities Fund invests completely in govern-ment securities Its investments are as secure as the government's taxing authority You will not see much ap-preciation in your investment, but the income should be dependable
As I look up your funds in the rat-ing services, both the Washington Fund and Income Fund of America
-have- records eqt*a4-t^.-<?f abover the average fund over the last five- and 10-year periods This suggest those funds have had average or better management over that period and as long as the same management stays in control should have a good com parative record in the future
Investors should keep in mind that the records of funds in the last five-and 10-year periods have been pro-duced during a t ime when the stock market moved from a cyclical low-to a high The same kind of percent-age gains are not likely to occur again for a period of several years
THE ONE area where your broker did not follow your wishes would be m putting 16 percent of your money in the Europacific Fund It is a new
fund without much of a record and consequently it is not possible to say whether it is likely to be good or bad
The concept of investing in good international businesses seems good, and a number of international com-panies in the area where it operates have done very well
So the opportunity for it to be a success is certainlv there It would

be my guess that 16 percent of your money in an area where you have a little more risk, but also an opportu-nity for more growth, is not a bad move
Your broker did put you mostly in full load funds where he collected 8*-2 percent of your money in com missions That means just 91 h per cent of your money is actually in-vested and working for you It also means that moving to other invest ments without good reason would bt-

Pastors speak out on Swaggart fiasco
Thursday . Feb rua ry 25 . 1988 O & L *7B
church bulletin
By Larry O'Connor s t a f f w r i t e r
The Rev John Roy wept and prayed' ' for the Rev J immy Swag-gart.
At Roy s church. Bethel Mission-ary Assembly of God in Livonia, hus-bands and wives in the congregation held hands and prayed at Sunday's service The Rev M Gregory Gentry-took 10 minutes before his sermon Sunday to discuss the Swaggart situ-ation with the members of hib church
Many area Assemblies of God ministers reacted with shock and sadness when they heard the news of Swaggart 's resignation from his ministry Sunday. Swaggart left his ministry in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations
The current scandal comes on the heels of the Jim and Tammy Bakker fiasco, which seemingly had died down
MOST PASTORS feel Swaggart. though, reacted responsibly by step-ping down.
"Well. I believe he's doing exactly what he preaches," said the Rev Richard Williams, pastor of the Gar-den City Assembly of God Church "He preaches that if a man sins, he should repent He sinned and he's re-penting
Ministers, though, differ on what effect Swaggart 's resignation will have on the Assemblies of God Some quietly believe there will be exten-
>- think will be minor.
Some have even suggested it could strengthen the church, especially locally.
Swaggart 's resignation definitely makes the picture of "televangel-tsm" bleak, a ministry still reeling from the Bakker scandal
SOME MINISTERS think people are more likely to turn to the local church instead of supporting televi-sion evangelists
There's a real need for the coach potatoes who live vicariously with God through television to reeva lu-ate their position . 1 think they will," said Roy, whose Bethel Mis-sionary core.~egation numbers be-tween 15A 175 people.
He preaches that if a man sins, he should repent. He sinned and he s repenting.' — The Rev. Richard
Williams pastor
Gy. ^ ^ . /Assembly of God Church
" What I think it's going to do is bring evangelism back into the local church in a powerful manner," Wil-liams said. "I think that's good. Some ministers have laid back and figured they (TV evangelists) would do it. I'm not saying that's the case with all churches "
Gentry, who is a presbyter for the Southeast Michigan presbytery of the Assemblies of God. believes the latest scandal might spur changes in church legislation. Gentry said there is a by-law in the Assemblies of God constitution, which allows rehabila-tation of ministers guilty of miscon-duct.
In such cases, according to Gen-try, a minister is placed under a group of pastors for two years If it's believed the minister has been total-ly rehabilitated, he is allowed to have an unsupervised ministry
Gentry would like to see that leg-
realize the costs of temptation" — that they be expelled from the minis-try immediately.
MOST AREA ministers feel the Swaggart scandal has a different complexion than the one with J im Bakker earlier this year Some said the Bakker scandal had little effect on their congregations They're not sure about what the fallout will be from Swaggart 's actions.
"I believe the J im Bakker thing shook the world." Williams said. "With J immy Swaggart, he shook the world and the church I believe God will turn it around."
"When things like this happen, people lose hope," Gentry added '"We pray that doesn't happen,"

fe A m o r a l perspectives
Rev. David S t rong
Visit to Middle East paints stark picture
I have just returned from a trip to the countries of Jordan and Israel Many people asked me if I felt in danger I did not. I did see many armed men I talked with as many people as I could about the situation
Since I have just returned from al-most three weeks in Israel, I am now an expert on the situation Actually I do not know very much I do have some sharp impressions
The mud we walked in as we visit-ed archaeological sites was red Some say that the color is from the blood that has mingled with the earth over the centuries We saw mounds of cities that were piled one on top of another Here were twenty-seven cities each destroyed by an ancient war As you drive along through Galilee, a historian familiar with the area can describe battle af-ter battle fought within view of the highway
I talked with both Arab and Jew in Israel and in Jordon Their response was that they did not have much hope that the crisis can be resolved They see no way ouf of it. Yet many felt that one day it will be settled, somehow
The paradox is that the area is so rich for Jew, Christian and Moslem with regard to meaning and human aspiration Each of these great relig-ions seek peace and fulfillment The present reality seems to be moving in just the oppposite direction
Two impressions linger First, the situation is polarised and is becom ing more polarixed Religious ex-tremists are gaining more and more
influence There are extreme Jews who believe that God gave them the "whole" holy land There a re Moslems who believe that they must begin a holy war to recover their lands I talked to a priest who helped o r g a n i z e a p e a c e m a r c h in Jerusalem Christian. Moslem and Jew walked together through the streets to the holy sites and prayed together at the ancient shinnes There was shock on the part of many that this was being done The next year it was called off because other elements had brought pressure to bear to stop this symbol of unity How sad'
The second lasting impression is that both Israel and the PalesUmans have fewer problems with the cur-rent tensions and violence than with the possiblity of a solution This may also be true with the United States and the Soviet Unton As long as no solution is offered, neither side must deal with the internal, political struggles within their parties Once peace breaks out. the two sides will find that they are warring from within The superpowers fear that peace may bring a change in the bal-ance of power in the area
The worse part of this point is that the tragedy is bound to get worse Jordan, Israel and Syria are so r i c i in ancient places that have great meaning and beauty My trip there was inspiring It is sad to comtem plate the current conditions We need to believe and pray that some-thing can be done to begin a peaceful resolution

SEMTA offers new transit plan SEMTA's board of directors is
submitting a set of alternative re-gional transit plans to local officials, which it said responds "to shifting population trends and the changing travel patterns of commuters in southeastern Michigan."
Chairman George Killeen of Ma-comb County said SEMTA's "pre-ferred alternative." called D, calls for increased bus service, particular-ly in the suburbs, and light rail sys-
tems on Woodward between Detroit and Royal Oak, and on Gratiot f rom Detroit to the 1-96 interchange
SEMTA stands for Southeastern Michigan Transportation Authority, a seven-county agency currently providing suburban bus service
THE FOUR alternatives were de-veloped with input f rom several groups, including the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments.
the Ann Arbor Transportation Au-thority. the Detroit Department of Transportation, the Metropolitan Transit Development Committee, and the Michigan Department of Transportation.
The board agreed to move the transit alternatives forward for pub-lic input, contingent upon receiving a narrative summary from the SEM-TA staff
The staff summary would explain
the advantages of the preferred al-ternative and the costs associated with implementing the various im-provements
SEMTA's 1984 Regional Public Transportation Consensus Plan did not incorporate many of the current travel patterns of^the residents of the region. Consequently, this update of the Regional Transportation Con-sensus Plan was necessary. Killeen said.

Hitch Fox-trot grabs headlines By Bill Parker staff writer
While posing for photographers outside the Fox Theatre in Detroit Monday, Mike Ilitch recalled he nev-er went to the Fox when he was a youngster growing up in the Motor City.
"I couldn't afford it," he said. Now Ilitch owns the theater. When
restored, the 10-story facility will become the new home of the world headquarters of Little Caesar Inter-national.
Because of his leadership and con-tributions to the community, Ilitch, a Bloomfield Hills resident, was named Detroit's 1987 Newsmaker of the Year by Crain's Detroit Business. He was honored Monday by the De-troit Economic Club with a luncheon at Cobo Hall.
Ilitch was also a force behind a lighting project for downtown De-troit, which began last year at Hart Plaza. He donated more than 91 mil-lion to support the project. He also owns Little Caesars Enterprises, the Detroit Red Wings, Joe Louis Arena, Olympia Arenas (management com-pany for Joe Louis and Cobo arenas), and be recently bought the Detroit Drive, Detroit's new franchise in the
Arena Football League
Moving the Little Caesars head-quarters to downtown will benefit the city of Detroit, but it also leaves questions for the city of Farmington Hills.
The theater area is scheduled to open Nov. 5, while the corporate headquarters facility on one of the building's upper floors should be completed by spring 1989. At that time, the current world headquar-ters in Farmington Hills' Tennerty Park will be moved to the new facili-ty-
ILITCH PURCHASED 38 acres on the southwest corner of Drake and 12 Mile roads from Farmington Pub-lic Schools in 1985. He planned to use the land to build a 125.000-square-foot facility, which would have housed the new world headquarters But now its use is undecided.
"We won't do anything with it right now," Ilitch said. "It can be de-veloped, but right now we won't do anything with it. We'll hang on to it and maybe develop it in the future.
"We'll move 430 to 440 employees down (to the Fox). The rest of the people (about 250) and the facilities
Conference draws area women Eight area business women will lead workshops at
the fifth annual Conference of Women Business Own-ers called "Ahead of the Curve: Business in the 90's" Friday and Saturday, March 4 and », at the Hyatt Re-gency in Flint.
The conference is open to women owning a majority interest in Michigan business and those considering a business in the state. Business t rends and predict ion for the 1990s will be analysed.
The conference is sponsored by the Michigan Chap-ter of the National Association of Woman Business Owners (NAWBO), the Michigan Small g r o i n — Devel-opment Center at Wayne State University, the Office of Women Business Owners Services of the Michigan Department of Commerce and the VS. S m a l l r
Administration. Ellen Goodman. Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated
columnist, will be the keynote luncheon speaker on Friday. The Athena Award to the Woman En-trepreneur of the Year will be presented at the Friday night reception followed by a concert by the Chenille Sisters.
Thirty-five workshops have been designed along four t rades of business development ranging from business s tar tup to expansion and diversification.

Let there be light Daylight effect sought by firm By Jan ice Brunaon staff writer
If all goes as planned, the dome on Michigan's s t a t e capttol in Lansing will blaze anew amid a wreath of lights, illuminated once again as it was at the turn of the century when incadescent lamps highlighted the shape of the dome.
The interior of the dome, an un-broken vertical space spanning four flights, will shine for the first time thanks to specially designed fixtures
"This is an historic restoration, re-turning the original as best you can. either by restoring what is available or replicating that which is not. The original effect can be simulated very well," said Stephen Squillace. a light-ing engineer with Shreve-Weber-Stellwagen Engineering in South-field who is heading up the lighting restoration project.
When and if the project is ulti-mately funded. Squillace will restore the capital 's lighting system as closely as possible ik the original concept d e s i g n e t t j j y - t E. Myers in 1872.
Squillace pours over dated news-paper accounts and century-old pho-tographs to learn what the original system looked like. He fastidiously studies modem trade catalogues in search of the perfect modern re-placement.
THE ATTENTION to detail is more than historical preservation.
Lighting is no longer a simple mat ter of economics, not if optimum results are to be achieved, according to Wolfgang Weber, an electrical en-gineer who founded the engineering consulting f i rm in 1984 with me-chanical engineer Gerry Shreve.
Present lighting trends blend esthetics with cost and efficiency, a move away_ f rom the economical "turn out the lights" mentality that marked the industry following oil embargoes in the 1970s, according to Weber.

J u d y B e n t l e y a n d S t e p h e n S q u i l l a c e d e m o n s t r a t e h o w c o l o r a n d vis ibi l i ty of l igh t c a n b e m e a s u r e d .
'Lighting defines the size and shape of a room. It creates atmospheres.'
— Wolfgang Weber
"Much more care goes into choos-ing lamp sources today We not only look at energy and cost efficiency, but we also consider esthetics," •veber said, because "lighting de-fines the size and shape of a room. It creates atmospheres."
Optimum lighting, according to Squillace. "defines visibility, how well we can see. A normal eye takes in a scene that is 135 degrees verti-cally and 170 degrees horizontally, a great big panorama."
If the entire panorama is not light-ed, "the body responds and says this is not right. Correct lighting gives you a daylight effect which is what the eye actually sees," he said.
IMPROVEMENTS IN existing lamps in recent years and a greater variety in available size, shape and wattage provides greater control and more subtle results in lighting, according to Squillace, adding he frequently mixes sources to achieve desired results
Metal haylide and flourescent a re energy efficient. Flourescent. avail-able in a variety of shapes and wat-tages. also provides good color ren-dering. Incandescent allows for bet-ter light control
All three allow for "alternatives to downlighting, or indirect lighting which Squillace favors because it re-duces glare and increases contrasts
"State-of-art lighting, if there is any such thing, has to be done with light reflecting off other surfaces. Indirect lighting simply makes it easier to see," Squillace said, demon-strating the differences between di-rect and indirect lighting by a series of lamps used to light his own work area.
But clients all too frequently "see" things differently, preferring bright.

will remain in Farmington Hills as is right now "
Ilitch opened his first Little Cae-sars pizza parlor in Garden City in 1959. Since then Little Caesars has grown into the third-largest pizza chain in the nation, serving 48 states and three countries.
Ilitch was the first to introduce two pizzas for the price of one with his "Pizza,-Pizza" campaign in 1974. In 1976, the first Pizza Station was opened in Southfield, offering drive-through service and a traveling oven for on-site pizza preparation at rec-reation events.
The company posted sales of $725 million in 1987 through its more than 1,800 restaurants in the U.S.. Canada and England.
WHEN THE FOX project is com-pleted, the area will be the center of a theater district downtown. Plans for the facility include the Little Caesars headquarters, entertain-ment, an enclosed shopping mall "with an emphasis on eater ies" and a parking garage.
"A theater district will have a big impact on the city," said Ilitch. "We'll bring a million people to the Fox."
Proposed entertainment will in-clude "Broadway, rock and roll, comedy, just about everything we have at Joe Louis and more," said Ilitch
Ilitch now estimates it will cost him $30 million for restoration and renovation of the Fox Theatre as op-posed to the original price of $15 million.

direct lighting systems. "Brightness is used to m e a s u r e
light. Bright white light is viewed as the best. But br ightness is pot an ef-f icient measure ," Weber expla ined
Indirect lighting is a lso viewed, with some just if icat ion, as being m o r e expensive to install . F o r maxi-m u m efficiency, an indi rec t sys t em mus t spread light evenly throughout an area . This e i ther r equ i r e s m o r e f ix tures or bet ter qual i ty f ix tu res which cost more.
If installed proper ly , the initial cost is balanced by long- t e rm cost eff ic iency, according to Squil lace.
To educa te clients abou t cos ts and the in t r ica te d i f fe rences in l ighting f r o m di f fe rent lamps, Shreve-Weber-Stel lwagen offers a se r ies of l ight box demonst ra t ions which m e a s u r e color and visibility.

Once the lab is in place, Squil lace
also plans to conduct tes t ing on light color and output and e lec t r ica l cur-rent and vol tage
AN ESTIMATED 20 percent of the f i rm's $200 million gross last year was f rom lighting projects , accord-ing to Rober t Stel lwagen, a third partner who joined the f i r m in 1986
Jobs include the Pont iac P a l a c e in Auburn Hills where var ied light col-or in the parking lot ident i f ies park-ing spaces f rom p e r i m e t e r road-ways; co rpo ra t e of f ices for Highland Super Stores in P lymouth where an indiret t sys tem was installed. Or-chestra Hall, another his tor ic resto-ration job; and such medica l facili-ties as McCauley Heal th Center in Ann Arbor and St Lawrence Hospi-tal in Lansing.
Summing up the industry, Weber said, "Lighting has become a compli-cated subject . We work with the ar-chi tecture to come up with an esthet-ically pleasing, eff ic ient sy s t em."

Folks keep buying cars for wrong reasons The people who buy ca r s pose a
chronic e m b a r r a s s m e n t to the peo-ple who m a k e them
This is McCosh s Maxim, based on years of s tudy of the stuff of which au tomot ive legends a r e made: your Mustangs and Edsels. your Marl ins and C a m a r o s — ca r s that could tu rn over a f e r r y boat if all the people c la iming or disclaiming credit we re asked to move to one side
The reason people who buy c a r s e m b a r r a s s the people who m a k e them is tha t cus tomers persist in buying c a r s for the wrong reasons
THIS MAY be insignificant to the guy s t u f f i ng pistons at the Rouge or the c a r sa l e sman sweat ing out a credit check But there a re people in the auto business who get big bucks to d e t e r m i n e something called the demograph ic profile of a potent ial car buver — ap analysis general ly
17 children. 2 2 parents , and 0 2 "s ignif icant others ."
The idea behind modern m a r k e t -ing apparent ly is to ident i fy any group of 10,000 or m o r e likely to s tay employed for the next 36 mon ths of c a r payments , and then persuade your company to build a c a r for them
Which is one reason you get a pick of 600 car models on sa le in the Unit-ed Sta tes today, and most of them look pretty much the same.
T H E EMBARRASSMENT to the marke t i ng types these days comes when nearly a third of the con-s u m e r s ' w h o actual ly do buy a vehi-cle today take a look, then go out and buy a truck.
Sales of light t rucks have been booming in the United Sta tes fo r ahont five ypars anii ir) f a r t fiaup
r ~ s au to talk Dan McCosh
full of observat ions such as having been taking over c a r sa les f a s t e r
than the Japanese have been taking over domest ic sales.
It 's one of the mos t profound trends in the auto business since the Iran oil crisis. And like the o ther great au tomot ive t r ends such as wa te rbeds in vans, Moon discs and the short fad in Volkswagen micro-buses. no one can quite f igure out how it all got s tar ted
WHY. FOR instance, do women buy about o n e . m f ive- l ight—truck* sold today?
Sure, the minivan — which techni-cally is a t ruck — s e e m s to be a rea-sonable subst i tu te for the station wagon But if anyone w a s seriously studying the needs of women with small children, we would be seeing family sedans built with those parti-tions they use in Detroi t taxis
Women buying four-wheel-drive utility vehicles, the second-largest light t ruck ca tegory , pose a deeper mystery These things were devel-oped tn World War H so a sergeant wouldn't have to walk, and for years
were mainly used by the guy at the corner gas s tat ion to plow out his d r iveway Now about a third a re bought by young women
LESS A P P E A L I N G , but still sig nif icant . a r e light pickup trucks now recording 12 percent of sales to women, according to stat is t ics sup-plied by Ford What ' s the appeal to two seats and a ca rgo bed that gets filled with snow th ree months out of the year ' '
This sor t of thing led to one of those pont i f ica t ing analysis sessions the o ther day. which meandered through most of the usual a rguments about how today s act ive hfestyk-means t rucks fit in as well as jeans, etc
My theory is that the growth in light t ruck sales isn't just a quest for more ut i l i ty u s also a i r f r o m the s teadi ly increasing same-
ness that plagues passenger ca r s to-day
THE NOTION is that it's the abili-ty to s tand out when driving around in a t ruck that sells them — part icu-larly to style-conscious women Bored with f la t tened bubbles and jel-lybeans goes the theory, at least with a t ruck you have a vehicle with some c h a r a c t e r It 's the same kind of thing that got the Beetle off tbe ground and led to the sports c a r boom in the 1950s
Once the market ing s ta f f s get wind of this of course they will study and plan and start to build t rucks del iberate ly to ride this "new trend At which point, in all likeli-hood. cus tomers will be rushing back to cars

'Signing' in Actor learns language of the deaf By V i c t o r i a D i a z special writer
T W E NT Y-FOUR-YEAR-old
Robert Richards of Plym-outh was laid off from his job as a CAD operator last
month, and he has been smiling ever since
It gave me an opportunity to con-centrate on something I'd rather do." he said
What Richards — a theater lover of the first order — would rather do is devote practically every waking hour to preparing himself for an im-portant role in the Wyandotte Com-munity Theatre's upcoming produc-tion of "Children of a Lesser God
Performances of the play, which focuses on the world of the hearing impaired will be presented at 8 p m Fridays-Saturdays. Feb 26-27 and March 4-5. at Wilson School Audito-rium in Wyandotte A matinee will be given at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, March 6 For the hearing impaired, inter-preters will be on either side of the stage throughout each performance
Though Richards has often worked behind the scenes in high school and community theater, this is his first stint as an actor.
You might expect a neophyte to start off in an undemanding role, but Richards is having none of that In the lead, as speech therapist James Leeds. Richards must not only speak his lines fluently in English but also must learn to communicate in a lan-guage that, only a year ago. he knew nothing about
IN THE PLAY, Richards will sup-plement some half of his spoken lines by signing — the form of com-munication used by the hearing im-paired. In addition, when lead ac-tress Renee Garofoli of Taylor (in the role of the hearing impaired Sar-
ah Normani signs, b e is required to communicate to the audience what she has said
As pleased as he is with the way-things turned out. Richards didn't exactly plan them that way When he went to audition for a part in "Chil-dren of a Lesser God'' near the first of this year, he meanl to try out for a minor role Director Susan Finney saw Richards in the lead, however, and encouraged him to go for it
Two weeks and four auditions lat-er. he had the part Not bad for somebody who had to compete for the role with two aciors who had ex-tensive knowledge of signing
I'd never really spent any Ume around the hearing-impaired," Rich-ards said, taking time oui between rehearsals But I'd seen the movie which turned oui to be one of my all-time favorites and that had sparked my interest enough so that, several months back. I bought a book on signing The book, though, didn't re-ally help me much because I was never able to communicate (to the hearing-impaired) on a day-to-day basis and use what I was learning "
Then at a local shopping center one day last December, he came across a copy of the original stage play by Mark Medoff Only a few days af ter he finished reading the play, he spotted an announcement that auditions were being held for Wyandotte Community Theatre's ne<t production. "Children of a Less-er God "
FINNEY SAID From the time he walked into auditions that eve-

ning. I knew he had that preppy, col-lege look I wanted When you cast a show, you have visual images of what you want, along with what kind of acting ability you seek "
As it turned out. he had ihe acting ability, too
'There were four auditions in all. Richards said The first three we didn't have to sign bui at the end of the third, I knew we were getting down to the wire and some of the others who were still up for the role were really fluent in signing
Because he wanted the part St much Richards arranged for a kind
of last minute crash course in sign-ing
\ f t e r that third audition I went up to Susan and said. If you re wor-ried because 1 can t sign — don t Then, she said OK come in tomor-row and be abie to sign ibis mono-logue '
So 1 got together with Renee be-fore I left the auditions She showed me all the signs I d neec and got me starled Then, when I got home I got out my signing dictionary and wofKed with that
I stay ed up ur.lil 2 30 or 3 o'clock that morning going over the mono-logue
The next day Richards didn't go in to work Instead, he got on the phone and asked a friend. Brenda Epperson -who translates for the deaf during services at Main St Baptist Church in Plymouth if she would come over and help him to polish the mono-logue. which she did
I worked on it all day he saic "Then, 1 went in that night, and dio u
Finney said. "That was what I needed to see — how quickly he could pick something up I already knew his acting was fine
E P P E R S O N ACCOMPANIED him to the final audition, he said
I introduced Brenda to Susan that night and let Susan know that she had signing ability and told her if ! got the part Brenda would be avail-, able to coach me Richards said
I think he did everything but of

P u r p l e ' w r i n k l e s ' a g e a c t r e s s f o r r o l e By Eth*l Simmons staff writer
A CTRESS RUTH VOOL, a veter-an of New York's Yiddish theater , joked with the Ob-se rve r & Eccent r ic ' s photo-
grapher , express ing concern about whether her wrinkles would show. But she's not at alL bothered letting it all hang out onstage, -where she's made up to play a 78-year-old
"You follow th£ ' lines that you have." she said, describing her make-up routine. "And you know what color pencil you use9 Purple "
In the green room, backstage at the Bi rmingham Theat re , she talked about her role in "Social Security," the comedy playing through Sunday. March 20. It 's not the f irst t ime she's played the role of Sophie Green-grass, who breaks away f rom her daughters ' c a r e to have a romance with a 98-year-old, Chagall-like, world-famous a r t i s t .
Vool has been an ac t ress since she was a t eenager in Montreal , where she was born, but she didn't make her Broadway debut until 1986 She understudied Olympia Dukakis in •"Social Secur i ty" and finally got her big break, playing Sophie for three weeks, when Dukakis went to Holly-wood to f i lm "Moonstruck."
ON BROADWAY, she appeared with gray hair For the Birmingham production, she 's just letting her darker hair color go lighter for the role.
Vool pro jec ts a w a r m personality, and she has a s t rong voice that com-plements her a t t r a c t i v e appearance.
Recall ing how she got the part of unders tudy in the Broadway show, she said, "The show was cast. They were looking fo r understudies I read for P e t e r Lawrence (the director) and the p laywr ight (Andrew Berg-man). They laughed."
Lawrence , who rehearsed the un-derstudies on Broadway , is directing tfie B i rmingham show. Vool couldn't say enough good things about him. She also spoke positively about the other cas t m e m b e r s
"I 've r ehea r sed with this group for two weeks ," she said. "They ' re sea-
Tve rehearsed with this group for two
weeks. They're seasoned performers.
It's a good family.

ed that much depends on the direc-tor's vision In the play. Sophie is
driving one daughter c razy and is deposited with the other ' Vool for-merly played Sophie in a more laid-back fashion "You can just very subtly m a k e people crazy." she said
In this show. '"I think the director wants her lording over the place." she said."
Vool is the widow of ac to r David Ellin, who died in 1986 The two got into the t hea t e r together when one of the founders of the Habimah The-atre, the nat ional thea te r m Israel, s ta r ted a studio in Montrea l " W e were real ly kids." she said
THEN. VOOL and Ellin went to
New York, to a t tend the American Academy of D r a m a t i c Art They re-turned to Montrea l to be marr ied and then went back to New York, where their son. Morgan, was born.
Vool said she has "played roles with the g rea t s of the Yiddish the-ater There were 20 flourishing Yid-dish thea ters on Second Avenue " Yiddish thea te r is still alive, she said, although, "They bury it every year "
One of her fondest memor ies was costarr ing with Sam Levene (who originated the role of Nathan Detroit m Guys an<TDolls") in "Goodnight Grandpa ' a t the P A F Playhouse in Huntington. N.Y "Play ing opposite him was very exci t ing," she said.
Ruth Vool, who unders tud ied and played So-phie Greenglass on Broadway , stars in the s a m e role in "Social Secur i ty" at the Birming-h a m Thea t re . On stage she portrays a dishev-

In the New York production, Vool not only was thrilled about mak ing her B roadway debut, but she had an-other d r e a m come true. The under-s tudies were present at all the cas t r ehea r sa l s "It was exciting being a t r ehea r sa l s where Mike Nichols was direct ing. He gives the ac to r s so much la t i tude He just d i rected the movie version of "Biloxi Blues. ' Fo r m e it w a s a fantasy that I should at-tend a r ehea r sa l of Mike Nichols di-rec t ing . "

Shorthanded SC falls in playoffs By C.J. Risak s ta f f wr i t e r
The odds seemed stacked against Schoolcraft College's^ womens bas-ketball team from the start
The Lady Ocelots started last night's Michigan Community College Athletic Association playoff game at Oakland Community College short of bodies By the time the opening half was 15 minutes old. they were short of patience. And when the final buzz-er sounded, they were short of points — and out of gas

p.m. Friday. A victory them into the s ta te fi-m Saturday, s game turned around
SC men's team out The Schoolcraft College men's
basketball team made a quick exit f rom the Michigan Community Col-lege Athletic Association state tournament, losing at Macomb CC 80-65 Monday.
The loss dropped the Ocelots to 8-21. they host the MCCAA state fi-nals this Friday and Saturdav, and the NJCAA Region XII Division I tournament next week
"I was extremely pleased with the way our kids played." said SC coach Dave Bogataj. who had just one recruited player — guard Steve Hawley — on the floor to start the game.
Still, SC kept pace with highly-regarded Macomb CC until late in the first half, when the Monarchs pulled away to a 39-28 halft ime lead. "They like to run " said Boga-taj . "but we got back on defense very well. To stop a running game, you have to get offensive rebounds. We had 10 in the first half."
That, combined with a packed-m zone defense that forced Macomb CC to rely on its perimeter game, kept the Monarchs" off-balance. SC's offense was geared for Haw-ley's shooting, he responded with 39 points, and added nine assists.
Mike Wiktor chipped in 12 points
and 10 rebounds, and Ladion Tail came off the bench to collect nine points and 14 boards
Terry Koerner led Macomb. 25-6 entering last night's game at Oak-land CC. with 19 points. Brandon Neely and Eric Peplowski had 14 apiece.
THE SC WOMEN'S team got a strong contribution f rom its bench to beat visiting Henry Ford CC 62-49 Monday in its MCCAA tourney opener.
The Lady Ocelots trailed by five (29-24) at the half, but that deficit was quickly erased, thanks to the work of Virginia Angels and Penny Piggott. Both got into the game to start the second half and made an immediate impact.
Angels, a Redford Thurston product, scored four points and made three steals in the first three minutes; Piggott, subbing for in-ju red c e n t e r Sha ron Mi l l e r (sprained ankle), scored nine sec-ond-half points to spark the Lady Ocelots
Michelle Dyksinski topped SC with 15 points and eight rebounds. Darlene Bazner and Tammy Ad-kins added 10 points apiece.
in the final five minutes of the first half. To that point, SC had dominat-ed; Michelle Dyksinski's three-point play with 5 02 left gave the Lady Ocelots a 20-TO lead
"WE WERE too tense." said coach Larry Hojna "We were too jacked up for this game. They beat us here before, so we were really ready this time."
Maybe too ready. Playing without starting center Regina Woodard (from Bloomfield Hills Lahser), who is out for the year with a knee injury, the Lady Raiders missed their first eight shots and fell behind 9-0
But Michelle Taulbee got them going, scoring six points in a two-minute span to put OCC's offense on track.
From that point on. the Lady Raiders dominated They outscored SC 17-4 in the final 4:20 of the half to take a 29-26 lead into the break. The Lady Ocelots pulled close in the sec-ond half, getting to within a basket on several occasions, but they never tied it
"This was very disappointing," said SC coach Jack Grenan. " You've got to play smart We didn't."
TURNOVERS AND poor judg-ment plagued SC throughout It didn't help that there were only sev-en players for Grenan to summon Point guard Debbie Georgevich se-verely sprained an ankle in Mon-day's win over Henry Ford CC and was out of action
Sharon Miller was also still hurt-ing with a bad ankle; the 6-1 center didn't start, but did provide SC with its only consistent offense in the sec-ond half She finished with 12 points.
Problem was, SC guards Tammy Adkins and Darlene Bazner too often tried to force the play inside. The end result, usually, was a turnover — 28 in the game.
Taulbee. who had 11 first-half points, finished with 17 Kristi Lyons scored 15 and Shelley Duncan had 13 Denise Kokowicz paced SC with 16 points. Michelle Dyksinski and Adkins pitched in nine apiece.

Stevenson ties Churchill to retain 1st- place grip By Brad E m o n i staff writer
Livonia Churchill's bid to gain a share of first place in the Suburban Prep Hockey League fell one goal short Wednesday.
The Chargers roared back for four goals in the final period, but first-place Livonia Stevenson maintained its half-game lead in the standings by holding on for a 4-4 tie in a game played at Edgar Arena
It 's unlikely the standings will change before the regular season ends.
Stevenson, 11-0-1 in league play and 14-3-3 overall, will probably re-tain its SPHL crown, barring an up-
set against fourth-place Bloomfield Hills Andover (6 p.m. Fr iday at Edgar), followed by another make-up game against lowly Bloomfield Hills Lahser (1:30 p.m. Saturday at Devon-Aire).
Churchill, 11-1-1 in the SPHL and 14-5-1 overall, winds up its league schedule today at 8 p.m. against Lahser at the Bloomfield Hills Skat-ing Club.
THE BATTLE BETWEEN the two Livonia rivals Wednesday was a far cry from the first meeting Jan. 15 when Stevenson skated to an easy 7-0 triumph.
"We didn't play really well tonight because Churchill didn't let us play well," said the Stevenson coach Matt
Mulcahy. "They beat us to the puck in this game. We were a bit tenta-tive, but it wasn't because everybody wasn't trying 100 percent. We were ready mentally, but we wasted a lot of energy."
Churchill coach Varvari, mean-while, pulled all the stops in trying to get his team a share of the league lead.
After Joe Ahmet 's goal with 2:28 left from Tim Siedlaczak tied it at 4-4. Varvari used a timeout to plot strategy down the stretch.
"The tie was going to do us no good and we had to go for the win," Varvari said. "I just wanted to calm them down and make sure we were back-checking. We also wanted to re-
inforce our fore-checking." VARVARI PULLED HIS goalie
for an extra a t tacker with just under 40 seconds left. The Chargers got off one decent shot that Stevenson goal-ie Paul Stiauch saved to preserve the tie.
"Paul let in one weak goal, but they made a good play on the tying goal (Ahmet's)," Mulcahy said. "But Paul came back and played like a tiger and didn't quit."
Stevenson scoFed in the first min-ute of play on Ross Beck's floater from the blueline that was tipped in by Nick Mariani. Gordie Wilson also assisted on the goal that Varvari called a "Garo Yepremian pass."
"I don't know how it went in," said
the Churchill coach. In the second period, Stevenson
went ahead 2-0 as John Brodhun's shot f rom the blueline trickled through Churchill netminder Jason Devlin's pads. Greg Gulau and Wil-son assisted on the goal.
But things suddenly opened up in the third period.
Chu rch i l l ' s Russ MacDonald scored f rom Bob Sommerville at 2 30 to make it 2-1. but defenseman Paul Tustian scored a minute later from Craig Aitken to give the Spar-tans a two-goal cushion.
CHURCHILL RESPONDED with two goals to knot the count at 3-3 — Brett Campbell from Chris Frayer
and Scott Patterson at 6.01; and Pat terson from Siedlaczak, a power-play goal with Mariani in the box at 7:28.
But Wilson's one-hand pass to Lee Genovese in front the net with 3 49 left gave Stevenson a short-lived 4-3 lead, as Ahmet, redeeming himself for the five penalties he took during the game, scored at the 12:32 mark.
"The first thing I told my team (between the second and third peri-ods) was that our season was all wrapped up in these final 15 min-utes." Varvari said. "We were more aggressive on the puck this t ime and I thought we outskated them."
Mulcahy couldn't argue that f a c t His team was outshot 45-19.
Catholic Central icers fall prey to Trenton, 5-4 By Larry O'Connor staff writer
Redford Catholic Central 's second line gave the Shamrocks a second chance Wednesday.
But Trenton's second goal of the third period stood up as the Trojans held on for a 5-4 win over visiting CC. knocking the Shamrocks out of f i rs t place contention for the Michi-gan Metro High School Hockey League West Division title. (Ann Ar-bor Pioneer has clinched the divi-sion.)
Paul Pirrooello scored two goals in the final period and Keith Boyzk added another as the Shamrocks (14-4-3 overall, 11-2-1 league) fought back from a three-goal deficit to make it close
But two Trenton goals, one by Rich Fischer and the other by Todd Scbeffler, a minute apar t earl ier in the final period stood up.
Though not too happy with the low, CC coach John Gumbleton hopes the offensive output by the No. 2 line of Jason Baldas, Plrronello and Bozyk is a sign of things to come.
I t would certainly give the Sham-rocks, ranked No. 2 In Claas A. more
More p r e p h o c k e y , 2D
depth entering state regional next week •»
SCOTT LOCK, J im Hubenschmidt and Larry Bsharah have been CC's top line this season
"The second line s tar ted to per-form and started to forecheck," Gumbleton said "They have to skate hard I've been on them lately. They haven't been producing Maybe they're starting to listen to me "
Pirronello's goal with 1 23 left in the game made Trenton listen. Plr-ronello took a pass f rom Bozyk and slid a back-hand shot past Trenton goalie Pat Eelnurme, giving CC a ray of hope.
Bozyk. who had three points on the night, scored on a wrap-around shot five minutes earlier to make it s two-goal game
After Pirronello's f irst goal three minutes into the third period, Tren-ton struck for two quick ones.
FISCHER SCORED first for the Trojans in front of the CC net With t»o time to blink, Sheffler then netted another goal moments la ter
"Neither of those two goals should have happened." Gumbleton said
But they did, and CC paid for it. Both teams matched goals in the
second period. With the Trojans short-handed,
Hubenschmidt knocked in the Sham-rocks' first goal of the game He wheeled down the right side of the ice, then fired a shot low past Eel-nurme.
Bozyk and Lock assisted on the power-play tally, which came three minutes into the second period Two minutes later. Trenton's Mark Otten-breit scored the second of two goals on the night
THE GOAL, like Trenton's first two of the game, was unassisted
Trenton didn't even bother with in-troductions before Ottenbreit even scored on a slap shot 10 seconds into the game.
Relentless fore-checking earned the Trojans their second goal of the opening period. Brian Voas took a puck and blasted R into the net.
Shots on goal told story of the first period Tr—too outakot CC 15-1.
"How can you only get one shot on goal?" Gumbleton asked. "I was em-barrssMd with that f i rs t period."

Wake Forest's Rioux honored By C.J. Risak siafl writer
Three years ago Jennifer Rioux transferred from the University of Michigan lo Wake Forest, where she received a track scholarship She's been wailing ever since to prove she was worth the investment
Rioux a Livonia Lady wood gradu-ate and now a senior, has excelled athletically for the Deacons It just hasn't been in track An All-Ameri-can at I M as a freshman in cross country. Rioux duplicated that feat by again earning All America honors for Wake Forest
In cross country That's not her sport of emphasis supposedly track
B I T S O M E T H I N G a l w a y s seemed to happen to Rioux to keep her from realizing her goals During her first year of track competition at Wake Forest, she had trouble with a tendon in the back of her feet In her second season, lower back pains sidelined her
t r a c k
Rioux was running out of t ime She's a senior now. and she still had not made it through a full season of track at Uake Forest
That is changing At last week-ends Atlantic Coast Conference in-door championships, Rioux won the 3.000-meter run in y 28 0
Her reaction to the victory was mixed I was really psyched up for the ACCs." she admitted, then added,
I'm going to try and qualify for the indoor nationals'at the Florida Fast-Times meet in two weeks It s not that big of a deal, but it would be nice
THE REASON Rioux downplayed the N'C A A Indoor Championship? was that her sights are set elsewhere
namely, the NCAA Outdoor meet in June A good performance there
would slingshot her into the Olympic Trials
Still, it was nice to win the ACC race, even if her t ime was far off her personal best of 9 14. which she ran her first season at Wake Forest
' I'm healthy now," she said "And I'm going to stay healthy if it kills me "
Success hasn t come easily for Rioux She did make Ail-American in cross country last fall, finishing 21st overall in the NCAA meet, but it was an uphill struggle.
"I consider it a decent season," was her opinion "I was coming from behind again "
Poor health sidelined Rioux for part of the cross country season. She became anemic in September, with an iron level so low "I was falling asleep in class."
THE PROBLEM was quickly cor-rected, but H hurt her performance: Rioux finished 68th at the Kentucky Invitational in October, her first competition of the season She re-
gained her strength fast enough and "once 1 got my confidence back, I was fine "
She proved that by earning her All-American status six weeks after the Kentucky Invitational
Rioux's attention is now riveted on track, which is where she'd rather be "I'm definitely more confident in track," she said "It 's easier for me It's more fun. so it's easier."
First^goal on Rioux's timetable is the NOAa indoor meet March 12. She must surpass the qualifying standard of 9 23 5 at the Florida meet to make it.
After that, there's the ACC Out-door meet in April, the NCAA Out-door meet in June and. finally, the Olympic Trials in July.
Just staying healthy enough to compete in all four major trials will be welcomed by Rioux "If I can make it through July, I'll be so hap-
If she can make it through July without mishap, she may have one more meet to run in — in Korea
c o l l e g e s p o r t s
When one player draws a de-fense's attention, her teammates have to pick up the slack
Such was the case Wednesday when Schoolcraft College's womens basketball team played at Henry Ford CC The Lady Ocelots' starting center 6-foot-l Sfitr-'n Miller, was still hobbied h>. j r injured ankle She
played 25 minutes, but managed just seven points and nine rebounds.
Her teammates, though, filled the gap nicely in leading SC to an 83-73 triumph
It was the Lady Ocelots' 14th win in the last 16 games They are 19-7 overall and 9-4 in the Eas t e rn Con-ference

They were collapsing on her at times." said SC coach Jack Grenan, "and that opened things up for oth-ers "
Michelle Dyksinski took advan-tage best-poured in 24 points on 12-of-15 floor shooting Dyksinski has scored 68 points (22.7 average) in the last three games
Michelle's been working real hard on being patient and squaring up (to the basket) instead of hurrying her shot, said Grenan
Three others reached double fig-ures in scoring for SC: Darlene Bazner (18 points on seven-of-eight shooting); Tammy Adkins (12 points, four-for-four), and Denise Kokowicz (10 points, four-of-five in the second half). Adkins also contributed six as-sists and Bazner made five steals
LaRhonda Murphy's 24 points was best for Henry Ford CC
Pending the outcome of Satur-day's final Eas tern Conference games, SC will be seeded third in the Michigan Community College Ath-letic Association s tate tournament, which s tar ts today. The Lady Ocelots will tentatively host Henry Ford CC at 7 p.m. tonight.
SC'S MENS TEAM dropped its last two Eastern Conference games of the season last week, losing at home 71-65 to Henry Ford CC Wednesday and at Delta CC 8S-69 Friday
And yet the Ocelots, who have won s. a re
in the MCCAA state playoffs because Henry Ford CC, Alpena CC and St Clair CC all opted not to enter SC will play at either Oakland CC. Flint Molt CC or Macomb CC tonight
Against Delta, the Ocelots led 36-33 at halft ime before running out of gas in the second half. Steve Hawley poured in 37 points, including six three-pointers and 13-of-16 free throws. Ladion Tait had 14 points. For Delta. Sonny Randle had 27 points. Marc Hammis finished with 16.
Against Henry Ford, SC again had a three-point edge at the half, lead-ing 39-36 Hawley finished with 21 points and Tait had 20 and 16 re-bounds Ryan Williams added 10 points Reggie Watts scored 17, Mar-io Savone 14 and J im Stafford 13 for Henry Ford.
The Ocelots finish their regular season at 8-21. 1-15 in the confer-ence

House cleaners don't need to be hazardous Many commonly used household
products — automotive oil, house-hold cleaners, solvents, paints, lawn and garden chemicals — are poten-tially hazardous if used, stored, han-dled or disposed of improperly.
If thrown out with household trash, these materials will eventual-ly form a leachate and leak out of the landfill contributing to the un derlying groundwater contamina tion. Some 13 percent of all known groundwater contamination in Mich-igan is the result of landfill leachate
Not all commercially available cleaning agents are toxic, but deter-mining whether a household product is hazardous can be difficult Manu-facturers are not required to list ingredients of their products and in many cases health effects of prod-ucts are not fully known because they have not been adequately test-ed.
FEDERAL regulations state that the toxicity of a product must be in-dicated by one of the following words:
Caution: Suggests that the product should be used with care
Warning: Implies the presence of a stronger hazard than with caution Use additional care
Danger. Signals that exposure or unsafe use may cause injury, illness.
or death Other key words that indicate a
toxic substance are poison, f lamm-able. volatile, .caustic and corrosive Many lables are misleading federal rules regulating labeling are vague
While small household sources of hazardous substances are not regu-lated the same way as industrial substances, the combined effect of individual household sources be-comes considerable.
Many non-hazardous alternatives for these hazardous products exist and can be used safely to achieve the same results Some of these cleaners are baking soda, white vinegar, salt and lemon juice. Try some of these solutions in your home:
BATHROOM:
A paste of baking soda and water cleans bathtubs and smks without being abrasive
For mildew in tile grout or on shower curtains, use white vinegar or lemon juice Commercial brands labeled "non-chlorine" are less toxic than other brands
DRAIN OPENERS:
Pour a handful of baking soda
Terry Gibb
down the drain followed by one-half cup of white vinegar Cover the drain tightly for one minute, then rinse with boiling water Or, use one-half cup salt and one-half cup baking soda, followed by lots of hot water
OVEN CLEANERS:
Scrub with baking soda, or soak with a mixture of baking soda and water
two parts Olive or vegetable oil and one part lemon juice
FLOOR WAXES. CLEANERS: For wood floors use mineral oil.
the active ingredient in most wood polishes and cleaners For cleaning a mixture of half mineral and half vinegar may also be used
For linoleum floors use one cup white vinegar to two gallons water Polish with club soda, and add skim milk to rinse water for shine
WINDOWS:
Use a mixture of one tablespoon vinegar in one quart water, or rub newspapers on the glass: or use de-natured alcohol
FURNITURE POLISH:
Use mineral oil. mayonnaise, or
LAUNDRY SOAP: Non-detergent, commercial laun-
dry soap is one of the mildest clean-ing agents in terms of skin irritabili-ty and toxicity. When adding soap flakes to warm or cold water, first dissolve the soap in hot water, then add to the washer
For freshening or odor removal, add one cup vinegar or baking soda instead of soap It will remove
smells without adding their own odors
PLANT INSECTICIDES:
Put soapy water on leaves fol-lowed bv a rinse
SILVER CLEANER
Soak silver in one quart warm wa-ter containing a teaspoon baking soda, one teaspoon salt and a piece of aluminum foil

Congress considers 'dial-a-porn' Here's how area House members
were recorded on major roll call votes in the week ending Feb 19 There were no record votes in the Senate.
MILITARY MALPRACTICE -By a vote of 312 for and 61 against, the House passed and sent to the Sen-ate a bill (HR 1054) enabling active-duty military personnel to sue the government for up to $300,000 in damages caused by medical or den-tal malpractice by service hospitals.
Active-duty personnel now can turn only to the Veterans Adminis-tration for compensation in such cas-es. in keeping with a 1950 Supreme Court decision this bill would negate.
Supporter Tony Hall, D-Ohio. com-plained that "even federal prisoners can sue for medical malpract ice in government-operated facilities."
Opponent William Dickinson, R-Ala , said "there is no reason to im-pose this additional burden on the military at a time when the Depar t -ment of Defense and the defense dol-lar (are) under attack."
Members voting yes supported the bill. Voting yes were Democrats Dennis Hertel of Harper Woods, Wil-
Roll Call Report liam Ford of Taylor and Saader Lev-in of Southfield.
Voting no William Broomfield, R-Birmingham.
Not voting Carl Pursell, R-Plym-outh
DLAL-A-PORN — By a vote of 200 for and 179 against, the House en-dorsed the less rigid of two pending legislative approaches to "dial-a-
porn." the 900 number service pro-viding explicit sexual commentary to children and other callers.
This vote occurred as the House looked ahead to a House-Senate con-ference on a massive school-aid bill (HR-5)
At issue was whether to accept or reject Senate language to repeal what Sen Jesse Helms, R-N.C., and others argue is authority in the 1934
Communications Act for dial-a-porn This contested vote on a parlia-
mentary issue cleared the way for the House to unanimously instruct its conferees to bypass the Helms approach as possibly unconstitution-al. and support in its place a more flexible proposal by Rep Edward Madigan, R-Ill
Members^jwftig yes endorsed Ma~" digap^" motion \giving House con? fer?es on HR-5 flexibility in seel) "a solution to t h e ^ i a ^ t h p c ^ p N i b -lem." Voting yes Hertel and Levin.
Voting no Broomfield. Not voting Pursell. Ford.

Consulting fills in her work of art By Corinne Abett staff water
idilyn doing'her . bit to rid the world of passive art
Finkel's description of that is
I"decorative, safe, things that fade away, that you forget."
Finkel herself, a slim, pretty, dark-haired woman with positive opinions about good and bad art . certainly isn't passive or easy to forget.
She has been professor of ar t his-tory at Oakland Community Col-lege since 1968 and has done a lot of ar t consulting over the years. The two disciplines work well to-gether for her.
IN SEPTEMBER 1936, she opened her firm, Marilyn Finkel 4 Associates of Farmington Hills, and put the picture together exact-
_ ly as she wanted it. Her offices on Northwestern just south of Middle-belt are a short drive from her off-ice on the OCC Orchard Ridge campus. She has a staff of three, but she's "it" when it comes to the art, "I just better not get a cold." she said with a smile.
What she tries to do as she works with architects and interior design-ers. she said, "is to make the ar t an extension of what they've already done," or. if she comes in a t the blueprint stage, of what they want to do.
For instance, when she chose the art for Crittenden Hospital, she had each area, its function and the con-dition of the people who would be there in mind. i
SHE SAID she gets her clues on what will work from the clients, the designers and the design and function of the building. And it 's not a case of her making a decision
- and the clients accepting it. She said she likes it best when it 's a group effort. Her attractive offices
v. are designed to handle small con-ferences and presentations.
"I don't represent anybody or
'Art should be challenging, it shouldn't be boring. Art should work with who's gonna use the building and it shouldn't be passive.
— Marilyn Finkel art consultant
any gallery. My whole allegiance is to the client." she said. She doesn't keep large inventory of ar t either, enough to suggest what she does and serve as provocative samples, but the larger inventory is slides of art work from art is ts around the world.
So once she's come up with ideas for the art for her clients, she can present her ideas, show slides and samples, open the discussion and answer questions.
"ART SHOULD be challenging, it shouldn't be boring. Art should work with who's gonna use the building and it shouldn't be passive I guess I love ar t so much that I want it to be a part of people's lives — part of the wonderful qual-ity of art that makes it special is that it changes your perception The most successful ar t demands participation — almost like a dia-logue."
To keep the dialogue fresh, lively and affordable, she spends a lot of time in the marketplace, going to galleries, tracking down artists and visiting their studios. She makes three or four trips to Europe each year, was in Par is last December and Rome last summer .
"THE PARIS a r t scene has ex-panded like crazy. And I found a terrific sculptor in Sicily last sum-mer. I go directly to the artist if possible."
She also makes use of local and national sources, "New York is
very expensive. Washington D.C. has some really good galleries. I'm attempting to find artists who are reasonably priced who have good credentials . . young artists with good credentials with maybe muse-um affiliations."
She paused as if gathering her nerve then added, "I don't think there's enough places (here) where good, young ar t can be seen, some-thing between the co-op galleries and the galleries in Birmingham. There are other cities where there is a huge commitment to younger artists. You've got a ripe art mar-ket here."
HER BACKGROUND in archi-tecture has been a great help, par-ticularly when she's called in at the very beginning of a project Then if walls need to be strengthened to support a sculpture or skylights added, they can be drawn into the plans at the beginning when it's easy to make the changes.
She said one of the strongest sell-ing points for her services is that she can simplify things for the ar-chitect. interior designer or build-er. They may spend weeks trying to acquire the information and ex-pertise which she has a t her finger-tips — that and the fact that she has an impressive track record. Right now, she is working as ar t consultant with Contract Interiors on all of the suites for the Palace of Auburn Hills.
AMONG HER clients are seven Hyatt Regency hotels, Liberty State Bank & Trust of Troy, Michi-

Finkel said her business is going better than she anticipated, "It 's
growing very quickly, and I adore i t "
Jus t to be sure the people in the building think of the ar t as theirs. she takes them on a tour once ev-erything is in place, talks about the a r t and the artists and sends clipp-ings to them about "their ar t is ts" whenever she finds some. That 's the teacher part of her coming to
the foref ron t again, she said proudly.
"What I like and see developing is a relationship," she said. "We just installed a wonderful piece of outdoor sculpture at the Federal Mogul plant in Lancaster, Pa. I love the challenge of finding tbe right artist for the right space "
Group show These artists love to experiment By Corinne Abatt staff writer
The strong bond of friendship be-tween Jeanne Poulet and Mary El-len Croci was born in the struggle to make it as artists and nurtured by the recognition which both of them are now enjoying.
Even their works of art, on dis-play in a small section of Nor-graphics, 29555 Northwestern, Southfield, seem touched by that bond of empathy, appreciation and understanding.
Poulet said, "Mary Ellen Helped me become a colorist. Before that I did only black and white."
SHE POINTED out a hand col-ored etching,"Three Women," as an example of her work with color. With a broad infectious smile, she said, "I do very macabre, serious stuff." adding that through Croci she has become more conscious of feminist issues.
She expanded on their scope to say that both do ar t which deals with the "human condition."
"We sort of have a dream that we can make things better. We try to symbolize what we see as a hurt," Poulet said.
As Croci plowed her way toward her goal to be an a r t i s t what could have been setbacks (a Are, tbe theft of an etching press and tbe con-stant scramble for income) were recycled as life experiences when she and Poulet talked about them.
AND THE sensitivity to the feel-ings and foibles of people, which Poulet and Crod share, is dha of the great strengths of the a r t which they produce. Another i s their

A FEW weeks back I asked my poet-readers to tell me
/ ^ which of the hundreds of advertised poetry contests
are legitimate and which are not Dorothy Aust. editor and co-publish-er of Alura Quarterly, a poetry mag-azine published in Livonia, called and sent along some worthwhile in-formation.
Aust says some are excellent and any poet could take pride in winning, but some stay just within the law in order to make enough money to line their pockets and to keep on sponsor-ing contests.
L E T S LOOK at how one of them works, according to Aust:
The World of Poetry is usually an-nounced by Eddie-Lou Cole. It offers a prize of $1,000 and charges a small fee per poem. If you "win," (and it appears that everybody does), for an extra $50 you can have your picture included with youf poemfs). You also have a chance to purchase the an-thology in which your poems appear — for a mere $80. Your poem could appear in an enormous hardbound book entitled. "Great Contemporary Poems" or even "Great Poems of the Western World."
Aust cautions poets to read the fine print. "Some contests," she says,"require that you purchase the book Others will say you've won it, but will cost you $50 to have your poem published. If you don't buy the books, sometimes they'll send you a stapled booklet that includes your poem."
Livonia poet Linda Ann Rourke sent me this reply — in verse
Last fall I entered a contest, »a ftriy> cAmp fnlninq grflfln' W Win JVllIV IVlUIITl B It was the first news of this contest that I had ever seen. So I picked the best of my efforts (of 20 lines or less), and sent it along to Mr. Frost, hoping, of course, for success. The thrill of a national contest' Competition would surely be great, but I sent him my poem eagerly, and sat back to patiently wait. In December, the notification immediately increased my tension
Good grief, can it be — This is truly too much!
tion Now what does that mean, Is this realy legit? I won, and I just can't get over it! But wait! . . . More than 800 prizes. but hear my contention — for 12 of us. nothing but Honorable Mention! Of course . . . For just thirty-nine dollars and nine-ty-five cents
book break Mona G r ' 9 9
I can purchase my own private copy And since regular price is near seventy bucks why. it seems that there's nothing to stop me Nothing, that is, but the gnawing idea and the nagging and growing unrest that gives me the feeling that I have been had, that my ego's been put to the test.
So what did I do9 Did I send him my dough9
A book with my poem would be nice "But you'd better believe that ihtrari swer is NO' and from now on. I'll always think twice.
IN AN attached note. Rourke says, "I think these poetry volumes are like "Who's Who Among American College and University Students an ego massage for those included, and an almost instant source of cash for the publisher.
"Who. af ter all. can resist seeing his name in print, no matter what the price? I also refuse to pay the $5 per poem fee that Frost 's editor was requesting to enter yet another
poetry contest Enough is enough, al-ready'"
There are. of course, legitimate poetry competitions — even among those that charge a f e e If the organi-zaiton is non-profit , the fee is some-times necessary for publicity and processing expenses
There are so many poetry contests sponsored by poetry societies and lit-erary magazines where quality is stressed and the poems are actually judged Passages North, for in-stance, offers prizes f rom $200 to $20 for their poetry competition in progress ttow^ Editor Elinor Bene-dict says the contest deadline has been extended to March 15 and the $2 fee" gives you an annual sub-scription to the magazine. Submit 1-3 unpublished poems with titles and author's name and address on a sep-ara te 3-by-5 card, no on poem pages. Send with SASE to Passages North, William Bonifas Fine Arts Center. Escanaba,Mi 49829
Next time, I'll tell you about poet-ry societies and other groups spon-soring poetry contests f rom the in-formation I received f rom Aust and others, and we'll talk to a $1,000 po-etry contest winner
Nature walk uncovers early signs of spring
For skeptics who need convincing that spring is really on its way. the U-M Matthaie Botanical Gardens is offering a nature walk March 6 at 2 p.m. The walk is entitled. "Ear ly Signs of Spring." Participants of this docent-led walk will look for clues that nature is preparing in many ways for the coming thaw
Visitors will see the snow covered
en bud scales from trees and shrubs This is due to more water entering the roots from the warmer weather and swelling the buds which crack and flake off the protective coaling
If you think all plants under the snow are still dormant, you'll have to see the wild ginger whose leaves are pushing through the snow
v Visitors will also discover the skunk cabbage which actually gen-erates heat to melt snow away so it
can expose itself to the sunlight, and attract flies for its pollination.
Squirrels also a re scurrying around padding their nests to pre-pare for their new arrivals later this month.
Also, beginning in April, the do-rents will take visitors on four con-secutive wildflower walks. Partici-pants will follow the emergence of
beauty The schedule is: April 10 Hunt for the Skunk Cabbage;" April
17 Identifying Blood Root and Hepatica:" April 24 — " Look for Trillium and Spring Beauty," May 1
Search for Jack-In-The-Pulpit and Wild Geranium."
Docents will meet participants of these free 1 hour nature walks on the front ste,>s of the conservatory
The Matthaei Botanical Gardens are at 1800 North Dixboro Road.

Retirees should review tax withholding on pensions
Reti rees receiving a pension or a n n u i t y mus t decide whether to permit or decl ine tax withholding, according to the Internal Reve-nue Service.
Under t h e tax law, federal income tax general ly will be wi thheld f rom pension a n d a n n u i t y p a y m e n t s However , th is withholding+s not compulsory; a n y person can apply for exempt ion . The payer of the pension or a n n u i t y p a y m e n t s will tell t h e retirees how to file for the exempt ion .
However, t h e exempt ion is not avai lable for pension or annui ty p a y m e n t s m a d e a f t e r Dec. 31, 1986. to cer ta in U S citizens resid-
. ing overseas. To de te rmine whe the r wi thholding is necessary, t axpayers
should review t h e tax t r e a t m e n t of pensions a n d annui t ies A pen sion to which an employee did not con t r ibu te during his or her employment , for example, is fully t axab le in much the same way salaries a n d wages are dur ing working years .
The full a m o u n t mus t be reported as income on line 16b (desig-na ted for fully t axab le pensions and annui t ies ) on Form 1040 T h e 1040A and 1040EZ forms cannot be used to report pension income the IRS no ted .
ON T H E O T H E R hand , a pension to which both the employer a n d employee con t r ibu ted is only par t ia l ly t axab le Par t of each p a y m e n t received is taxable , and par t is tax-free
A special three-year rule applies only if t h e annui ty s t a r t ing d a t e for t h e re t i ree is before Ju ly 2, 1986. and the retiree will recover his or her cont r ibu t ions to t h e plan wi th in 36 months a f t e r t h e first p a y m e n t is received.
In t h a t case, t h e p a y m e n t s are not taxed unt i l the retiree s con-t r ibu t ions are recovered tax free, all p a y m e n t s received are fully taxable .
If the three-year rule does not apply, ret i rees exclude from their income a cer ta in amoun t of each p a y m e a t T h e issuer of the pen-sion may c o m p u t e t h e exclusion percentage, which is used to deter-mine how much of each payment is t axab le a n d how much is tax-free.
In general , t he tax-free par t of each p a y m e n t , once computed does not change , t h e IRS added. If the issuer of the pension does not c o m p u t e th i s exclusion percentage, t h e t a x p a y e r can comptite it using ins t ruc t ions found in the free I R S .Publication 575. Pen-sion a n d A n n u i t y Income.
T h e IRS will f igure the taxable amoun t if t h e t axpayer requests a ruling. Publ ica t ion 575 explains how to reques t a ruling.
Publ ica t ion 575 will have the answers to mos t questions on t h e tax t r e a t m e n t of pensions and annui t ies . It can be ordered by us ing the order form found in each tax packaage or by calling toll-free 1-800-424-3676.
In addi t ion , for people age 60 or older, f ree tax counseling is avai lable t h rough local IRS-coordinated Tax Counseling for the Elder ly (TCE) programs.
Through t h e s e programs, specially t r a ined volunteers provide tax credit for t h e elderly a n d the disabled, special t r e a t m e n t of the gain on t h e sale of a home by those age 55 a n d over, the proper me thod of repor t ing cer ta in pension income a n d paying tax on it when necessary , a n d o ther subjects of special in teres t and concern to older persons .

Time to bone up on 'alternative minimum tax'
A P — You might not t h i n k of your-self a s wea l thy bu t you may f ind your-self sub jec t for the f i rs t t ime to w h a t used to be t h o u g h t of a s a r ich m a n ' s t a x — t h e "a l t e rna t ive m i n i m u m t a x . "
T h e tax . which has gone t h r o u g h var ious changes since it w a s e n a c t e d in 1969, is a imed a t ensur ing t h a t high-
' er- income people pay some federa l in-come tax regardless of how m a n y de-duc t i ons and c red i t s t hey l eg i t ima te ly claim. In its la tes t version, t h e t a x h a s been t i gh t ened cons iderably a n d ap-plied to more indiv iduals t h a n ever be-fore.
You pay t h e a l t e rna t ive m i n i m u m tax . which is a t a f lat ra te of 21 per-cent . only if it is larger t h a n w h a t you would owe by calculat ing you r t axes t h e usual way.
You may be required to m a k e t h e min imum- tax calculat ion if. in fill ing out your regular t a x r e tu rn , you use a n y of 14 tax preferences . T h e s e in-c lude accelera ted deprec ia t ion on real e s t a t e or o ther asse ts , incent ive s tock opt ions , deplet ion or in tangib le dri l l ing cos t s f rom oil and gas ven tu res , losses f rom i n v e s t m e n t s in which you p l ay only a pass ive role, or losses f rom tax-she l te r i n v e s t m e n t s in f a n n i n g .
Y O U S H O U L D M A K E t h e mini-
mum-tax c o m p u t a t i o n if any of those preferences you c la im a n d your ad jus t -ed gross income t o g e t h e r add to more t h a n $40,000 if you a re marr ied a n d filing a joint r e t u rn , $30,000 if you are single, or $20,000 if you are marr ied a n d filing a s e p a r a t e r e tu rn .
Those f igures a re t h e exemption a m o u n t s for m i n i m u m - t a x purposes a n d t h e y decline g radua l ly as income rises. The re is no exempt ion once in-come exceeds $310,000 for couples, $232,500 for s ingles a n d $155,000 for marr ied people w h o file separa te ly .
T h e normal s t a n d a r d deduct ion is not allowed in ca lcu la t ing m i n i m u m tax, nor are i t emized deduc t ions for s t a t e and local t axes , cer ta in in teres t and most misce l laneous expenses.

Mortgage points may not be deductible
A P — You can ' t b lame t h i s on t h e 1986 t a x overhaul , b u t t h o s e po in t s yeu paid on your mor tgage .last yea r m a y not be fully deduct ib le on t h e t a x r e t u r n you are abou t to file.
T h e IRS, in te rp re t ing a 1975 law, ruled in 1986 t h a t loan-origination fees a n d o the r points charged solely for t h e use of money a n d not paid out of t h e proceeds of t h e loan mus t be d e d u c t e d over t h e life of the mortgage.
T h e r e is a big exception to t h e gen-eral rule. T h e IRS will allow t h e deduc-tion of points in t h e year t h e y were paid if t h e loan backed by a m o r t g a g e on your principal home was used to buy or improve t h e home a n d if t h e points were in line wi th wha t is gener-ally charged in your area.
B u t t h a t exception will not he lp homeowners who ref inanced the i r mor tgages last year jus t t o get a lower in te res t ra te .
T w o examples of how it works : — Las t year you borrowed $100,000
for 30 years to p a y off . the exist ing mor tgage on you r h o m e a n d were charged 3.6 points , or $3,600. T h e lend-er did not s u b t r a c t t h e points f rom t h e proceeds of t h e loan, bu t you paid them out of sav ings . Because t h e pro-ceeds were used solely t o pay off the old mortgage, t h e p o i n t s mus t be de-duc ted over t h e life of t h e loan — $120 a year.
— You borrowed $100,000 under t h e same t e rms bu t u s e d $80,000 of t h e money to pay off your old mor tgage and t h e o ther $20,000 for home im-provements . You m a y deduc t 20 per-cent of t h e po in t s — $720 on your 1987 re turn and wr i te off the remainder over the life of t h e loan a t a ra te of $8 per mon th .
T h e I R S i n t e r p r e t a t i o n is not the last word on t h i s i s sue because it is subject to cha l lenge in cour t . If you claim a points deduc t i on t h a t runs con t ra ry to t h e rule, you eventual ly might have to back down or go to cour t t o argue you r case .
Travel deductions are more controlled A P — Trave l is still b roadening , b u t
less deduct ib le t han before.
T h e new law denies a t ax deduc t ion for t ravel as an educat ion expense when t h e educat ion is supposed t o be t h e t ravel itself. For example, accord-ing to t h e IRS. "a professor of S p a n i s h tour ing Spain to ma in ta in general fa-
mil iar i ty with t h e Span i sh language and cul ture c a n n o t deduc t such ex-penses ."
A n o t h e r t a x - o v e r h a u l p rov i s ion disal lows deduc t ion of t r ave l a n d other expenses for a t t e n d i n g a convent ion or seminar unless t h e sess ion has a direct relation t o t h e t a x p a y e r ' s business or t rade .
