Barb and Charley Mulder recently opened Cold Stone Creamery in Cherry Hill Village.

Couple 'scoops' CHV businesses Ice cream shop becomes 1st retailer to open doors

B Y K U R T K U B A N

STAFF WRITER

From the first moment they drove through the developing Cherry Hill Village, Cold Stone Creamery owners Charley and Barb Mulder knew they wanted to be part of the cutting-edge com-munity on Canton's west side.

The Plymouth Township couple, who are former longtime Canton residents, became the Village's first retailer to open for business when they held their grand opening on Oct. 30.

"We liveil in Canton ioi a ions time and raised our children here Canton hasn't had a real down-town in the past, but when we looked at this place, we just knew

we wanted to be involved. It's a great community," said Charley Mulder. The shop, located at Ridge and Cherry Hill roads, directly across from the new Village Theater, is actually the couple's sec-ond Cold Stone Creamery, a national franchise headquartered in Arizona. They also own a fran-chise in Saline.

Cold Stone Creamery is known for selling premier ice cream "cre-ations", featuring freshly made ice cream and name-brand toppings, including Snickers, M&Ms and Oreo cookies, Unlike most shops, iiovv \er, employees aetuaii) blend in the toppings like a breadmaker kneads dough. The shop offers 32

Goodfellows kick off annual drive B Y J A C K G L A D D E N

STAFF WRITER

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, the Canton Goodfellows are in full gear for their annual Christmas drive - "No Canton Child Without a Christmas."

And Goodfellows' president Nancy Spencer said they are looking at record numbers of children and families in the community who need help.

"We already have over 400 kids on the list to serve," she said. "Now we need the money. I realize the economy is bad, but if people are working and their family is healthy and they have a little bit of excess, they need to serve."

Last year the Goodfellows provided help to more than 500 families, and have been active in Canton since the 1950s, serving low-income families, children and seniors.

"Last year was the biggest project we've ever done. It's the biggest in my 29 years with the Goodfellows. And we've still just scratched the surface. We've never had 500 kids before," Spencer said. "We squeezed every nick-el, and we came out just about even. Each family got a big box of food and however many bags it took for gifts. Most got at least three or four bags."

She said WalMart and Sam's Club have been very generous in the past and this year developer Dick Lewiston has already donated $1,000.

"He's been so good to the Goodfellpws, I can't begin to say," Spencer said. One fund-raising activity will occur on Nov. 28, the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

"We'll be at Keller and Stein (on Michigan Avenue at Lilley Road) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. doing Santa pictures," she said. 'All donations will go into our

fund-raising account." They'll be back there on Dec. 11 and

12, although she wasn't sure of the hours jus t yet.

The group's annual newspaper sale will be on Saturday, Dec. 4. Goodfellows representatives will be in commercial driveways around the community. All donations support the fund-raising effort.

The Goodfellows are also raffling a quilt this year, but tickets are only available at the Canton Public Library (they should be there by Monday, Nov. 15) and at the senior Christmas party at the Summit on the Park Dec. 10.

"Anyone who wants to adopt a child or a family can call me," Spencer said.

Her number is (734) 397-8975. Donations can also be sent to the Canton Goodfellows, 1150 S. Canton Center Road, 48188. jgladden@oe.homecomm.net | (734) 459-2700

Van Buren eyes new Canton school

B Y J A C K G L A D D E N

STAFF WRITER

Van Buren Schools, which failed to get a $150 million bond issue approved by voters in September, may t ry again.

A n d the new a t t empt will include bui lding a new elementary school in Canton, which schools officials hope will relieve efforts by a group of Canton residents to pull out of the. district. ;;

T h e district has scheduled a Town Hall meet-ing for 7 p .m. Wednesday, Nov. 17, at t h e Belleville High School Cafeteria to discuss a new proposal.

"We're hoping to have a big t u r n o u t at the meeting," said Paul Henning, a spokesman for the district. "We obviously missed t h e m a r k on some thihgs with our last proposal. A n d we want to get as many Canton people ou t so they can voice thei r opinions. We want to hea r what they have to say."

A port ion of southwest Canton is in t h e Van Buren district. Last year about 3 0 0 Canton students a t tended Van Buren schools in Belleville and Van Buren Township.

The proposals to be discussed at the Town Hall meet ing would include, among o ther items, a new elementary school tha t would be built on Denton Road in Canton. It would be able to house 4 0 0 students.

The district already owns land on Denton Road between Geddes and Michigan Avenue.

"We've held onto tha t property for years," Henning said, "knowing the potential growth of the Canton community. And obviously that has taken place."

The September bond vote would have pro-vided for replacing the 78-year-old Belleville High School with a new one at Van Born and Belleville roads, a new middle school and upgrades to other buildings and technology.

It was defeated by a vote of 4,5-^3 to 2,226. In October, the Schools Facility Committee,

composed largely of community members , met

New chamber building a hit with members B Y K U R T K U & A N

STAFF WRITER

Many members of t h e Canton Chamber of Commerce got thei r f irst chance to check out the group's new h o m e on Thursday dur ing a r ibbon-cut -t ing ceremony. Most said they were thr i l led with the new facility on Hanford , j u s t wes t of Canton Center.

Jane t Volante, vice pres iden t of Nat ional City Bank's Ford Road branch , raved abou t t h e new 2 ,500 square-foot, f ree-

s t and ing bui lding. She was on t h e commi t t ee in charge of rais ing t h e f u n d s to pay fo r the project . I n two years, t h e group raised $ 3 0 0 , 0 0 0 .

"It's so wonder fu l to see the end resul t of all the h a r d work over t h e last two.years " Volante said.

"This is a p remie r facility. T h e m e m b e r s w a n t e d it. The commun i ty w a n t e d it. T h e t o w n s h i p wan ted it."

M e m b e r Rob Bovitz, w h o is p res iden t of t h e Canton-based account ing f i rm Bovitz & Co.,

said the new facility will no t only benefi t chamber m e m -bers, b u t is also an example of the k ind of investment t h e chamber makes in the c o m m u -nity.

"For a small business owner, the chamber is about ne twork-ing. But it's not all abou t wha t it can do for me. It's abou t mak ing an investment in t h e community, and that 's w h a t we've done with th is n e w building," he said.

Dan Wright, a chamber member for five years and

owner of the Ou tdoor Fun Store in Wayne, said t h e new bu i ld ing not only looks great , b u t will also be m u c h m o r e func t iona l fo r t h e g roup t h a n t h e old 1,200 square- foot bui ld ing.

"This place is very accessible and user-fr iendly. We'll p roba-bly be able to do a lot more . O u r meet ings will be m u c h more product ive. In t h e old bui ld ing, our mee t ing r o o m was so small , a lot of t h e peo-ple had t o s tand out in t h e hallway," Wright said.

Foundation loses longtime member Students flock to public libraries B Y T O N Y B R U S C A T O

STAFF WRITER

When Hugh Harsha retired from his product strategy job at Ford Motor Company nearly 15 years ago, he turned his atten-tion from having a paid position to becoming a volunteer.

Two years later, in 1992, Harsha became a board mem-ber of the Plymouth-Canton Schools Educational Excellence Foundation. One of the first programs he helped develop, along with Carl Pursell, was a reading program for elementary students.

"We were interested in kids that were falling behind in their reading and math skills, so we

started a summer reading pro-gram for elementary kids," said Harsha, 77, who resides in Plymouth. "It started at Field Elementary, and now it's for kids district-wide. I really felt good when a young student, who went through the program, blos-somed and could read, and was so pleased he told his second grade friends they should take that course." said Harsha.

Harsha, who received a Volunteer in Public Schools award from the Board of Education Monday night, is stepping down from the EEF board after 13 years.

"I wouldn't have left if I thought there weren't people who could improve the EEF,"

said Harsha. "Things are really happening at the EEF.

"Hugh has always been the one that came up with that key idea, that good thought that got us back on track," said George Shey, chairman of the EEF board. "He's always been there with his advice."

"Hugh isn't afraid to ask the tough questions of the board and ask what's best for our kids," said Tom Wysocki, school board trustee. Harsha, a 1945 graduate of Plymouth High School, helped raise nearly a half-mil-lion dollars for teachers and their classrooms, and nearly $100,000 in scholarships for Plymouth-Canton graduates. tbruscato@oe.homecomm.net (734) 459-2700

New library cards issued at record pace

A recent community initia-tive shows that students in Plymouth and Canton want library cards and are using them.

During the first two months of this school year, the Plymouth District Library and Canton Public Library issued more than 2,500 new library cards to students throughout the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools f rom kindergarten to high school seniors.

The Plymouth-Canton Community Schools, Plymouth District Library, and Canton Public Library collaborated on the goal of providing every student in the school district with a library card. These institutions knew that many of the district's stu-dents already had a library card, but were not sure how many still needed one of their own.

The overwhelming response to this new campaign sur-prised the libraries and the' schools.

During the first six weeks of school nearly 15 percent of PCCS students received a new library card to either the Plymouth District Library or the Canton Public Library. With applications still trick-ling in, the libraries report that 30 percent of the stu-dents who received new cards have used them to check out materials. At the Canton Public Library this group of new library cardholders has checked out almost 4 0 0 0 items.

"We were thrilled with the initial response and are now very pleased with the rate of library visits by our newest cardholders." said Pat Thomas, director, Plymouth District Library.

Studies show that children who are read to at home and who use the library perform better in school and are more

likely to continue to use the library as a source of lifelong learning.

"The remarkable communi-ty response to this library card campaign shows that parents in Plymouth and Canton see great value in their libraries and recognize the link between library usage and educational success." said Canton Public Library direc-tor Jean Tabor.

"Helping children achieve their personal best is our goal at Plymouth-Canton Community Schools," said Superintendent Jim Ryan," and our libraries in Canton and Plymouth have always played a major role in sup-porting our students.

"The success of this recent library card program is grati-fying for me as an educator. We will do all we can in our schools to encourage students and their parents to use their library cards as much as pos-sible."

A recent report by the National Endowment for the • Arts, "Reading At Risk: A Survey of Literary Reading in

America" found that fewer than half of American adults are now reading literature, with a 28 percent decline among 18-24 year olds in the last 20 years. The communi-ties of Plymouth and Canton are experiencing library usage that challenges the national t rends. Circulation rates at the two libraries show signifi-cant increases every year, summer reading programs continuously set new records for participation, and regis-trat ions for library programs regularly exceed capacity..

This collaborative effort between the Caiiton Public Library, the Plymouth District Library and the Plymouth Canton Community Schools grew out of the "What Are You Reading?" literacy initiative, a community wide effort to create a society of readers. It also ties into the Public Library Association "Smartest Card" campaign, a multi-year public awareness and advocacy effort to make the library card the most val-ued and used card in every wallet.

St. John's brings certified chef to transform its BY BRAD KADRICH

STAFF WRITER

When the folks at St. John's Golf & Conference Center open their new hotel next year, with its 80-seat restau-rant, they want to improve the quality and quantity of their cuisine.

Now they think they've landed the man to do the job in new executive chef Michael Trombley.

The 36-year-old Trombley moved into the kitcheii Oct. 25, coming over from Barton Hills Country Club in Ann Arbor. A part-time teacher in the prestigious culinary pro-gram at Schoolcraft College in Livonia, Trombley also was the chef at the four-star Golden Mushroom in Southfield before it closed.

"What an opportunity," said Trombley, who helped St.

John's officials design some of its kitchen space. "You have an 80-seat dining room going in, lots of new growth. I think we have a four-star restaurant going in, and they wanted to put a name with it."

They picked a pretty good one. Trombley, certified an executive chef by the American Culinary Federation, is Michigan Chefs d'Cuisine's Chef of the Year for 2004. He trained under one of the best, Chef Milos Cihelka, the first certified master chef by MCCA in the country.

He's been to the weeklong executive chef course at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley, Calif., and he's taken several courses and seminars through Lansing Community College.

Mostly, though, he's been doing the job. Trombley got his first kitchen gig at a small

diner, Terry's Terrace in Mt. Clemens, a restaurant fre-quented by his mother and stepfather, who wound up rec-ommending him for the job.

"I took home economics classes in high school, and I used to bake cookies and brownies with my mom," Trombley said. "I've been interested in cooking ever since."

His career has taken him to a variety of spots, ranging from Dusty's Wine Bar in Okemos, where he was the sous chef, to 1-2-3 in Grosse Pointe Farms, to Cousins Heritage Inn in Dexter. Along the way, Trombley has gotten

• involved in just about every aspect of running a kitchen.

That's what made him attractive when St. John's ' came calling.

"He's got expericncc, knowl-edge and creativity," said Tawnya Johnson, St. John's

director of sales and catering. "We want to set ourselves apart from the other facilities in the area, and we think the way to do that is with our cui-sine."

He's going to have plenty of opportunity to show off that experience. St. John's hosts some 200 weddings a year, and more corporate events than that, not to mention the 100 or so golf outings the cen-ter hosts.

"That's a ton of food and a lot of people," Johnson said. "Chef's got a big job in front of him."

As executive chef, Trombley wears "about 20 hats," he said, including accountant, buyer and psychologist.

To bring St. John's to the level its owners want it to be, one of the first challenges will be tackling the menu. For now, Trombley has been observing. However, menu changes are coming, perhaps in January.

With a 118-room hotel and an 80-seat dining room being added to a package that already includes a conference center and golf course, Trombley, an eastsider who grew up in St. Clair Shores, wants to make sure the people who eat there know they're getting quality.

"We're going to develop spe-cial event/wedding packages, tightening up the packages already available," Trombley said. "If I do an Asian menu,

It's Trombley's thought process Johnson thinks will help put an already-successful conference center on the map regionally.

"With the addition of the hotel and bringing (Trombley)

and his experience and knowl-edge aboard, we're hoping to raise the quality of our cuisine throughout the center," she said.

"There won't be anyplace nicer, certainly, that can offer the variety we'll have here with (Trombley)."

Oprah reaches into Plymouth to help people B Y T O N Y 8 R U S C A T 0

STAFF WRITER

When Justin Cooke of Lincoln Park was told by his sister they were going to Chicago to be part of the Oprah Winfrey television show audience, it was the last thing Cooke really wanted to do with his day off.

"No offense to Oprah, but I didn't want to go," said Cooke, 26. "But, I love Oprah now."

That's because Cooke and his sister, Alea Shinn of South Lyon — formerly of Canton Ibwnship — picked up brand new Pontiac G6 sports sedans at Bob Jeannotte Pontiac-Buick-GMC Truck in Plymouth Township

Wednesday afternoon. They were two of 276 studio audience members who walked away with free cars, given byOprah to every member of her Sept. 13 studio audience.

"It's a godsend, it's really start-ing to sink in," said Cooke. "The whole experience has been pret-ty cool."

The two winners picked the Jeannotte dealership from which to pick up their stealth gray G6's - valued at $27,000 -with a giant red bow on the sun-roof.

"I was in shock, I couldn't believe it," remembered Shinn. "We only have one car, a Saturn, and most days I'm stuck home'

with our son. This will certainly come in handy."

It all started when Shinn and her mother attended the Sept. 1 taping of the Oprah show, and filled out a questionnaire about their greatest wish.

"I put down for my brother to get a new car," said Shinn. "He's gone above and beyond in help-ing family and friends, and his car is in such bad shape."

Shinn was told be back in Chicago, with her brother, for the taping of a show on family members who do great things for each other. Cooke almost didn't make it because of a con-ference call at the Livonia Media Play store, where he's a manag-

er. "My mother called work and got them to switch the day," said Cooke.

Oprah gave out 11 cars to audience members, then hand-ed everyone in the audience a box, announcing the person who had one with a key inside would win the 12th car. As it turned out, everyone had a special Oprah keychain with a winning key. "I opened it slowly, but I heard someone else scream, so I thought I wasn't going to get it," said Cooke. "But, then I saw I had a key, too, and I was jump-ing up and down. • They took everyone outside and we saw about 300 cars in the parking lot."

Cooke had been driving a 1995 Plymouth Sundance. "This will be my 10th car in 10 years. I have really bad luck with cars, something always happens to them."

"I've never seen an introduc-tion of a car like this," said Bob Jeannotte,who has been in busi-ness for 29 years, of the G6, which replaces the Grand Am.

Voted out of office, Kelley gets county post Reinke retires from city to become deputy director for county parks B Y M A T T J A C H M A N

STAFF WRITER

As he gets ready to leave office after losing his bid for a third term as Redford Township's supervisor, Kevin Kelley has landed another job in government.

Kelley on Tuesday was named Wayne County's direc-tor of senior services and vet-erans' affairs by county Executive Robert Ficano. The appointment is expected to be approved by the county's Board of Commissioners later this month.

, "I think there's a strong potential to do some creative and innovative things with these two departments," said Kelley, 46, who added ; that he looked at a number of job

^prospects after losing the Democratic primary in the race for supervisor.

"I think this is the opportu-nity that fit best, and I'm

booking forward to making •f'the transition," he said. He rhopes to start the job this ^month.

Kelley

The position was created about a year ago as part of Ficano's reor-ganization of county govern-ment, but has gone unfilled. A former county sheriff,

Ficano took office in 2003.

Kelley, Redford's supervisor for eight years, said he's enjoyed good relationships with senior citizens and with veterans during his tenure. If is sees his new job as an extension of his work with those constituencies, which have similar needs, he said.

"I've got some ideas for new programs, but you've got to check on funding sources and what's available in the budg-et," Kelley said.

The senior services depart-ment has a $9 million annual budget and 50 to 60 employ-ees.

It deals with programs and organizations that help sen-iors, including and adminis-

tering the Meals on Wheels programs in communities across the county.

The veterans affairs depart-ment has a $3 million annual budget and six to eight employees. Its chief function is to administer a federal grant program of veterans' death benefits.

Two department directors, one for senior citizens servic-es and another for veterans' affairs, will report to Kelley, who will report to Ficano and the county board. Kelley's annual pay will be $120,000 - about $50,000 more than he earned as supervisor.

Kelley is also a former Redford deputy supervisor and a former county commis-sioner.

In 1992, he opposed Ficano in the race for county sheriff, but was defeated in the pri-mary.

Redford's supervisor-elect, Trustee R. Miles Handy II, takes office on Saturday.

A man who helped lead the growth of Livonia's Parks and Recreation facilities and pro-grams for three decades is mov-ing on.

Ron Reinke, the city's parks and rec superintendent for 25 years, is retiring at the month's end to start a new job as deputy director of Wayne County Parks, where he will earn $88,200. He will oversee improvements and maintenance to the county's parks and other open spaces from an office at Nankin Mills.

"I've been seriously thinking about retirement for the past 12 months," said Reinke, a Central Michigan University graduate who started his career with the city in December 1974. "I was approached about this opportu-nity with the county and it pres-ents some unique challenges for me."

The 55-year-old Livonia resi-dent will leave the city with his mark on the Livonia's 63 parks, three golf courses, two ice are-nas and the latest jewel, the Livonia Community Recreation Center.

Aside from the development of the recreation center last year, Reinke said he's particularly proud of his department's work expanding and renovating Eddie

Edgar Ice Arena, upgrading Fox Creek Golf Course, installing lights at Bicentennial Park which expanded the city's athlet-ic programs and replacing play-ground structures at city parks.

"There were so many filings we did that were tremendously rewarding," he said.

Mayor Jack Engebretson said he was not surprised about the retirement, but added Reinke will be missed. "He did a great job and I enjoyed working with him in various capacities for 18 years," Engebretson said. "He really understands his role and achieved so much for the city over these last 30 years."

Engebretson said he is look-ing to promote an internal can-didate to replace Reinke when he leaves Nov. 29- If the internal process is not complete by that time, assistant superintendent Karen Kapchonick will run the department in the interim.

While Reinke winds down on his city duties, he admits he. will miss the people of whom he interacted for years.

"The toughest thing about leaving is leaving the people " Reinke said. "There are individ-uals here who are good people: in so many ways and I'll miss them." dwest@oe.homecomm.net | (734) 953-2109

Wayne High not alone in failing to make AYP B Y K E V I N B R O W N

STAFF WRITER*

Wayne Memorial High School is among 46.7 percent of Michigan high schools failing to make Adequate Yearly Progress as defined by state-set criteria released last week.

And while schools Superintendent Gregory Baracy said tutoring and other action will be taken to raise scores, he said the state also has to answer for continuing aid cuts that make it tough for schools to teach students adequately.

Further, he charged the state demands an overly high level of aohic\<'ni''nl compared to other

"Michigan chose 33 to be the starting level for proficiency in math," Baracy said. "Fourteen other states have levels that start at 5 percent."

In addition to Wayne Memorial, suburban high

schools failing to make the AYP grade were Plymouth-Canton and Plymouth-Salem, Northville, Livonia Churchill and Livonia Franklin.

Baracy said Wayne Memorial qualified as not making AYP because four of 66 students in one subgroup, African-American students, did not earn high enough scores in mathe-matics. 'We're going to do our best to identify the deficiencies of those individuals in the sub-groups and try to identify tutor-ing and other resolutions to bring them up," he said. "The state has to step up and recog-nize the fact that school districts cnnnot go forward. This is the ; • 1 • 1 1 J) \ • -a 1 i i! .1 ; i i\\ \\ c \ < 1 !(U i no new revenues. We can't solve these problems bringing these kids up to grade level without the resources to do so."

The Wayne-Westland Community Schools have a $113 million budget this fiscal year,

compared to $116 million in 2002-03. The cuts caused a dozen positions to remain unfilled, a hiring freeze, and a decision not to begin new pro-grams.

"Over 95 percent of our stu-dent population took the MEAP test, we scored 98.4 in math and 97.6 in English language arts; we missed (AYP) by four stu-dents," Baracy said.

AYP scores are determined by a combination of MEAP scores and other scores, under man-dates required by the federal No Child Left Behind Act.

Baracy said that because fail-ure of one subgroup to meet test standards means the whole dis-tiii:'; fails. diver;it metropolitfin districts are more at risk to be seen as failing, compared to less diverse rural districts. : "That is the frustrating thing

for educators about No Child Left Behind," he said. kbrown@oe.homecomm.net

Tree ordinance preserves natural beauty through replacement, landmarks While Canton continues to be one

of the fastest growing communities in southeastern Michigan, the township is working to maintain its natural beauty with tools like the Forest Preservation Ordinance.

Adopted in the mid 1990s, the ordi-nance mandates tree replacement for parcels larger than two acres and for specific "landmark" trees. According to Canton Senior Planner Judy Bocklage, the ordinance has encour-aged more responsible development in the community.

"We've had some success with it,"

she said. "It makes developers think about what they're doing."

The ordinance defines criteria for tree replacement and procedures for the issuance of tree removal permits, collection of tree removal bonds and contributions to Canton's tree fund.

On two acre and larger parcels, up to 20 percent of the total trees may be removed without replacement except for landmark trees. Landmark trees, which are identified by their species and size in the ordinance, or other trees with a diameter greater than 24 inches, must be replaced with three

trees of at least four-inches in diame-ter. Replacement trees must be of the same species if possible'or at least of the same type, including shade, ever-green or ornamental.

Surveys and site plans are required for developers replacing trees on parcels of two acres or lager. Once those plans are approved, developers must pay the township a refundable tree removal bond.

"They get those funds back after they actually replace the trees," said Bocklage.

Developers have the option of con-

tributing to Canton's tree fund if they don't wish to replace, she added. The price is $375 for trees of less than four inches in diameter and $750 for all others.

"This is an incentive to preserve the trees," said Bocklage.

Some developers do elect to pay the fees, she said. Bocklage noted that contributions of $100,000 and greater have been made to the tree fund by developers over the years. Those funds go to pay for Canton's tree voucher program and planting of trees on township property.

There are several exemptions to Canton's Forest Preservation Ordinance including:

All agricultural/farming operations (including production of fruit and timber) and commercial nursery/tree farm operations (land cleared must « be farmed for at least one season afte,r the clearing is completed.)

Occupied lots of less than two acre? in .size.

According to Barb Mulder, there are 17,000 possi-ble creations. They also offer special seasonal creations, such as pumpkin ice cream for the fall, and candy cane ice cream for Christmas.

"We're unique. It's not what people think of when they think of an ice cream shop. We pull it. We mix it in. We make each order special," she said. 'We are to ice cream what Starbucks is to coffee."

Another unusual feature of the store is the fact that employ-ees sing catchy tunes every time someone leaves a tip. It's all part of a concerted effort to make the shop a fun destination for cus-

tomers, said manager Eric Weigel of Westland.

"We just try to have a great time. We really try to interact with the customers and have fun with the job. We sing and we smile all day long. And the ice cream is second to none," he said.

The Mulders, who both work for Ford Motor Company, decid-ed to buy a Cold Stone Creamery franchise after a trip to Utah, where Charley discov-ered the shop, and ended up going there every day during the vacation. When he returned to Michigan, he immediately checked into what it would take to buy into the company, which has 850 stores around the nation.

"I had wanted to become a business owner, but I've never been a big fan of franchises," he said.

"But this plaice is different. It's doing something fun, and the product is great."

The Mulders are hoping that

Working hard, playing by rules doesn't always pay the bills The story was always the

same. They were working a full-

time job, or two part-time jobs or a full-time and a part-time job and still things weren't coming together. Every paycheck was a decision — "Do I .pay the rent or the car payment or the utilities because I sure can't pay them all?"

And then there's the day care, a stretch with one kid but with two you're lucky to break even.

If the kids get sick, forget it. Oh maybe the state Family Independence Agency (a politically calculated renam-ing of the old Department of Social Services) will cover some costs and the county might cover some, unless of . course they discover you actu-ally have enough to buy food and utilities, that's a deal breaker on medical care. The employer either doesn't pro-vide medical care, or only pro-vides medical care for full-time employees and you only work 36 hours or the employ-er charges so much for the health insurance premium tha t . . . '

The women coming into the Salvation Army last week to sign up for help during Christmas were experts at this kind of juggling. Single moth-ers on the margins, the work-ing poor. They juggle their time, their bills, their emo-tions. During the holidays, when everyone is supposed to make merry, the act becomes quite a bit more strained. The kids expect to have a Christmas, everybody has a Christmas. That's one more bill, one more demand on the time.

Of course, the perfect, well-disciplined, morally superior types who gave us FIA and other euphemisms know, know, these people only have themselves to blame. Aiid there are certainly long histo-ries of wrong decisions, willful rebellion, maybe even m o m e n t s of s e l f - i n d u l g e n c e • ;nd a w e a k n e s s f o r d r u g s o r

alcohol. But there are also abusive spouses, neglectful families, mental illness and heavy doses of bad luck. There is an old saying "There but for the grace of God ..." But who says these hard-working peo-ple are any less in God's grace?

It's not just single mothers. Whole families also live on the margins. They aren't homeless or without jobs. Sometimes fathers and mothers work and they still can't quite make it. And they often work at the worst jobs, the kind of jobs that tire the body and-rob the soul and offer no horizon for something better.

When we think of people in need, we often forget that the need isn't necessarily just in the inner city, where in some areas a culture of poverty has led to an endless despair. And it isn't just in the country, where the poor hole up in rusted mobile homes or shacks in the woods, resentful and suspicious of any interfer-ence.

We also have need right here in the suburbs,, right next door or down the block.

These people aren't welfare cheats. They work hard and get nowhere. They have chil-dren they love and make sac-rifices to feed and clothe and provide some of the pleasures that other children have. They live in the suburbs, where they feel safe, where their kids can go to a better school, where opportunity at least has a chance of knocking.

poor. They help the homeless, mostly men long separated from society, often by mental illness.

But they also help those in the suburbs, with families, with hopes and with very real needs.

They help get them over the hump. They help pay a bill or get the electricity turned back on. They provide the toys or clothes or special meal for the holidays that would be a budget buster if they weren't there.

The Army is most visible during the holidays, and that's the time when it tries to remind people (donors and recipients) that it is always there. Need doesn't begin Thanksgiving Day and end New Year's. It's always there.

As a Christian organization, the Salvation Army uses the holiday of Jesus' birth to remind people of Jesus' words, "For I was an hungry, and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.... Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, yq have done it unto me."

Remember that when you walk by the red kettles and hear the bells ring and help with the whisper of folding cash in the kettle.

Headlee was godfather of the modern Michigan GOP j f j l ichard Headlee was a IRsf devout Mormon who was

born in Iowa and grew up and went to school in Utah, where he died Tuesday at 74, surrounded by a large and lov-ing family. What makes all that unusual is that he was one of the most important political figures of the modern era... in Michigan.

"He was the forerunner. The godfather of the modern Republican Party in the state, and the man who really reshaped the party and made John Engler's election as gover-nor possible," said Bill Ballenger, publisher and editor of the well-regarded newsletter Inside Michigan Politics.

Incredibly, Dick Headlee was a businessman who was never elected to anything. He ran for office only once, was beaten, and never tried again. But his influence was monumental. He led a crusade for tax reform, and his name lives on in the "Headlee Amendment," which limits property tax increases and says state spending can never exceed 9-49 percent of. Michigan personal income, the percentage it was at in 1979-

The Headlee Amendment was passed overwhelmingly by Michigan voters in 1978. Later, after surviving a heart trans-plant in 1987, its author also helped lead the successful 1992 drive to enact term limits for all elected state officials.

Ten years later, on the brink of moving home to Utah, he told one newspaper he was leaving with head held high: "I think I have done enough dam-age to liberals in Michigan."

What he also did was spear-head a revolution within the Michigan Republican Party. Twenty-five years ago, the state GOP was one of the most liber-al in the nation. Its leader, Gov. William G. Milliken, was a self-described Rockefeller Republican who worked hard to help cash-strapped Detroit.

Conservatives in the Milliken era were pushed to the side-lines. Headlee changed all that. H o 1TH1 moved to t h e «tate in

'nvunv an adve-

Her to his fellow Mormon, then-Gov. George Romney.

His drive for tax reform went against the grain of his own party. In 1982, three

Jack years after the Lessenberry i Headlee

Amendment became law,

Milliken decided to retire. His anointed successor, Lt. Gov. Jamies Brickley, was expected to be the GOP's candidate that fall. But Headlee pulled a stun-ning upset, beating Brickley 34 percent to 30 percent in the primary.

The margin probably would have been larger if it hadn't been for the presence of two other conservatives in the race, including L. Brooks Patterson, then the Oakland County pros-ecutor, who finished a close third.

That stunningly and effec-tively ended the era of moder-ate Republicanism as a major force in Michigan politics. Headlee, then the president of the Alexander Hamilton Life Insurance Co. in Farmington Hills, was a cheerful and enthusiastic campaigner; a pleasant man who reminded me in two ways of another pio-neering conservative, Barry Goldwater.

Both men had a sense of humor about themselves. Headlee displayed political car-toons lampooning him in his office, where he might give you an interview leaned back in his swivel chair with his legs stretched up the wall.

And like the Arizonan, Dick Headlee had a tendency to ram his entire foot down his throat. When one woman legislator criticized him, he quipped that she ought to look more careful-ly in the mirror while shaving.

That was not a good idea, especially in an era when polit-ical correctness was just com-ing into vogue. Nor was his comment that supporters of the Equal Rights Amendment

really p r o p o n e n t s of les-

bian marriage. That prompted the usually

low-key Milliken, a strong ERA supporter, to. say that his party's standard-bearer "puts me in mind of an ass."

In the end, Headlee lost the general election to James Blanchard, then a young con-gressman credited with shep-herding the Chrysler bailout bill through Congress in 1979. The vote was a relatively dose 51 percent to 45 percent, and many afterward blamed his verbal missteps for the loss.

But that probably wasn't fair. Republicans had then held Michigan's governorship for 20 years, and many voters felt it was time for a change.

The economy was in reces-sion, and Republicans did poorly nationally in that fall's mid-term elections. Blanchard was an energetic and effective campaigner, and some of Headlee's potential support was siphoned off by a third-party candidate, a more zeal-ous tax-cutter named Bob Tisch, a rural drain commis-sioner who, in political terms, skated near the edge of the fringe.

That was his only and last campaign, but the man run-ning it learned a lot from the experience. Few paid much attention to Headlee's cam-paign manager during that race, a young state senator named John Engler.

Eight years later, he would beat Blanchard in the biggest upset in Michigan political his-tory, and go on to drastically reshape state government and the Republican Party along the lines Headlee talked about in his campaign.

"You could never have had John Engler as governor with-out Richard Headlee," said Ballenger, once a moderate Republican state senator him-self. And like it or not,,that is indisputably true.

Illustrator draws students' 86 Canton graduate encourages

kids to be creative BY KEVIN BROWN

STAFF WRITER

Michigan Chillers chil-dren 's book i l lustrator D a r r i n Brege d rew m o n -s ters on an easel, spoke in f u n n y voices, and offered career advice Wednesday at Brooklands E lemen ta ry in Roches te r Hills.

But while some k ids and adu l t s liked t h e d rawing lessons and ar t career advice, they loved the f u n n y voices.

"Do Bart S impson!" the s tuden t s begged. "Yeah!"

"I can' t do Bart," his voice is too high," p leaded t h e 1986 g radua te of P lymouth Can ton High School, who now lives in Br ighton wi th h is wife, Karen.

But the sound of Bart 's dad H o m e r rolled off his tongue , along wi th Bugs Bunny and charac ters f rom Toy Story and o the r fi lms.

Brege, who also does celebrity voice imperson-at ions for spor ts ta lk radio s ta t ion WDFN, fielded a f lu r ry of fur ious reques t s fo r f u n n y voices — a f t e r his m a i n presenta t ion on how kids can develop the i r ar t i s t ic ta lent .

To s tar t , Brege asked a s t u d e n t to d raw a st ick fig-u re on a pad of paper dis-played on an easel as 5 0 s tuden t s looked on, s i t t ing on t h e floor in the school's m e d i a center.

arms and legs — squares, circles, tubes and more , t o give bodies mass and per -sonality.

"If you want to be an artist it's a great t ime. Yot^ can send your ar twork all a round the planet," he said, via the Internet .

Brege stressed an ar t is t can find a range of work by being open to a range of assignments. He has designed, everything f r o m characters for Hasbro toy makers to Web site adver-t i sements for the film Shrek.

"You never know wha t kind of work you're going to get," he said.

He encouraged s tuden t s to practice wha t they love, ar t or whatever else, to become skillful enough t o pursue a career.

asked. After a brief pause , Brege said, "If it p u m p s blood in your hear t , sure, why not?"

While Brege gets some direction for Michigan Chiller i l lustrations f r o m series au thor J o n a t h a n Rand — who is appear ing at the Rochester Hills Public Library at 7 p .m. Nov. 17 — t h e art is t said he draws creative ideas f r o m the world a round h im.

To demons t ra te , he showed the cover of one Chiller book about an over-sized spider.

He chose t o depict t h e spider on t h e top level of the I-275-Six MilS Road overpass —• wi th his own red minivan caught in t h e spiderweb below.

"One of my most favori te th ings to use is the eraser,"

he told the group. Brege wen t on to say tha t

a f ter add ing ovals, tubes and circles to a stick figure to give it shape and mass, "You jus t get rid of stuff you don ' t wan t — you can do it; you're t h e artist."

In one exercise, Brege began tu rn ing straight stick figure l ines into an oversized mons te r squid. "What's going to make him look more real? Pimples, veins?" he asked.

"Acne!" one boy shouted. "Ripped skin," said

another. "We'll p u t more spit on

him," Brege said. He said projects can take

two hours to two weeks. "It takes a lot of practice,"

he told the s tudents . He encouraged young artists to t race if they wan t to.

"If it keeps you drawing, you bet," he said.

Brege also encouraged young artists to seek out how-to-draw books and to take ar t classes in school or even summer camps.

"I liked when he drew t h e shapes," four th-grader Jessica Smith said after-ward.

"I liked the shapes and stuff," her classmate, H a n n a h Duchard t , agreed.

Brooklands Principal Denise Holub, w h o occa-sionally had to shush excit-ed kids Wednesday, said,

"It's useful for t h e m to see a real-life i l lustrator and how he got there and how he pursued his profes-sion."

to discuss assessments architects had made" of all the buildings in the district.

They agreed unanimously to take a potential $180-200 million bond proposal to a Town Hall meet ing to discuss the pos-sibility of one ballot quest ion for a May election or multiple ballot questions of smaller dollar amounts .

T h e new proposal includes a new high school, technology upgrades for all schools, a new Elwell Elementary school, a new school in Canton, converting Haggerty Elementary into an early childhood devel-opmen t center, and upgrades to Tyler and . Savage Elementary schools.

T h e bond issues come in the middle of a fight by one Canton resident, who wants his and a neighboring subdivision to secede f r o m Van Buren and become par t of t h e Plymouth-Canton district.

Mark Dixon, whose case is up for review ' by t h e state schools superintendent , said he knows'he has little chance of success. H e and others in his neighborhood have said tha t Plymouth-Cantoil district is more desirable for a number of reasons, b u t mainly because Plymouth-Canton schools are closer to home.

"Even if we said they could go, and Plymouth-Canton wanted to welcome them, it wouldn't make any difference," Henning said. "It's a decision tha t has to be made in Lansing by the state board of edu-cation, and we're not expecting to hear any-th ing until at least January. They will make a decision based on what they feel is in the • best interest of the state."

Henning said Van Buren schools wants to continue serving Canton. He noted that bo th Tyler (B) and Rawsonville (A) elemen-tary schools received great marks in t h e recently released Annual Yearly Progress reports f rom the state. Belleville High School received a C grade, up f rom the F it received last year.

"The people who have voiced their op in- ' ions about this have a legitimate gripe about how far the kids have to travel. As far as academics go, they don't have a legiti-mate argument," he said.

TREATMENT FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS Evidence from several studies indicates that early treatment of rheumatoid arthritis pays great

dividends. No longer is it acceptable to go cautiously from one anti-inflammatory drug such as

aspirin to another such as Motrin.

The medical community agrees that the early institution of further treatment is the goal of

therapy. However, from this point on there is little consensus. The problem is that there are so

many medication to use. Such drugs include: methotrexate, the anti- I M F medications - EnbreL

Remicade and Humira- Arava, Kineret, azullidine, plaquenii, gold salts, immuran, and

prednisone. Furthermore, any of these drugs may be used in combination with one or more of the

other drugs listed above. In addition, the safety of these medications for women who want to bear

children, with a few exceptions, is open to question. For drugs, such as methotexate, the fetus is at

risk if the mother becomes pregnant while on it.

Each drug noted above has characteristics that make it either appropriate or ill suited for the

patient. You need to self inject Enbrel or Humira- some individuals are horrified at the thought of

injecting themselves. Azulfidine may require you to take tablets three times a day- a nuisance in

certain jobs and for some people such as annoyance as to encourage them to forget to take the

medication.

Experience shows the need for early treatment of rheumatoid arthritis; the same experience

reveals instituting such therapy can be difficult.

Evans names retired Detroit officer undersheriff Wayne County Sheriff Warren

C. Evans today announced the appointment of Harold Cureton, as his new second-in-command. Cureton, who spent more than 30 years with the Detroit Police Department (DPD) and recently retired as assistant chief, will serve as Evans' undersheriff in charge of day-to-d^y operations.

Cureton replaces Evans; for-mer undersheriff, Lawrence Meyer, who recently retired after 28 years with the department.

Evans said that Cureton's appointment is a natural fit.

"I've known Harold my entire life. I trust him as a friend and I respect him as a police officer and an administrator," Evans said, ' l a m thrilled to have some-one qf his caliber and experience joining our team."

In his new position, Cureton will be responsible for overseeing all police operations of the department, including the coun-ty's three jails, as well as all inves-tigative, patrol and apprehension units within the sheriff's office. Among those are:

• A d u l t and juvenile fugitive apprehension

• Narcotics and prostitution enforcement

• Highland Park patrol • Secondary road patrol,

marine patrol and park patrol • Internal affairs and other

investigative units Cureton, who began his new

job on Thursday, is no stranger to the sheriff's office. While serving as assistant chief with Detroit, he played an important role in the creation and operation of the

High school s tudents can mee t local entrepreneurs and learn what it takes to start their own business in a new program being offered to area schools at no cost.

Schoolcraft College's Business Development Center created the Youth Entrepreneur Spirit or YES program to bring together suc-cessful entrepreneurs with j un -ior and sen ior school s tn-i k n t > i n im.MiK .int.! m a r k e t

The program is funded through a grant f rom the Communi ty Foundat ion for Southeastern Michigan.

Highlights of the one-day program include interviews with entrepreneurs and a "biz box" activity where groups of s tudents receive a box filled with various unrelated items. Each group mus t invent a product , manufac tu re it and devise packaging and market-ing plans for the product.

T h e first YES program, held in October, hosted s tudents f r o m Northville and Livonia Churchill high schools. Forty s tudents interacted with own-ers f rom six small businesses.

"The best par t of t h e pro-gram was when we got to sit with the business pros and ask t h e m questions," said Churchill market ing student Krystal Araj.

Fugitive Apprehension Service Team (FAST), a collaborative effort between the sheriff's office and DPD that has rounded up more than 5,500 felony fugitives since it was created in January 2003. He also helped lead the formation of the Missing & Exploited Children's Task Force, another joint program that has recovered hundreds of children over tiie past year.

. "Harold has been critical to the success of these and other

efforts," Evans said. "Clearly, he understands my priorities and embraces my philosophy of collaboration. Most important, he's a guy who knows how to

get tilings done." Evans also said that Cureton's

contacts within DPD will be a tremendous asset in his efforts to

Cureton

develop new collaborative pro-grams and keep current efforts in the city running effectively. "Of all the police agencies we deal with, our relationship with Detroit is the most important. In addition to our daily narcotics and prostitution enforcement in the city, we hope to develop new cooperative ventures with DPD. Harold's contacts will play an important role in that regard."

Cureton started with the department in 1972 as a police

officer and rose steadily through the ranks. As lieutenant he worked with the Major Crimes Division and oversaw the Gang Enforcement Section. In 1999, Cureton was again promoted, this time from Inspector to Commander, where he oversaw DPD's Narcotics Enforcement Division. Most recently, as Deputy Chief and Assistant Chief, Cureton was in charge of the Criminal Investigations and Professional Accountability

bureaus. Cureton, who is married and

has one adult son, said he is ready for a new challenge.

"Sheriff Evans has done great work over the past two years and I a m honored that he has asked m e to serve as part of his team," Cureton said. "The Sheriff has tremendous respect in the law enforcement community and, as a life-long cop, I am energized by the prospect of what we can do to make this county safer."

Take away their identical helmet logos and nicknames, and it's easy to distinguish between the Detroit Lions National Football League team and the Canton Lions WSJFL freshmen football team.

The Detroit Lions make millions of dollars each year and drive BMW*, kscalades a n d Expedition^.

The Canton Lions get a few dol-lars each week for allowance and drive Schwinns, Huffys and BMXs.

The Detroit Lions have agents who make sure their clients get fair market value.

The Canton Lions have parents who make sure their sons get their homework done.

The smallest Detroit Lion tips the scales at a round 1HO pounds .

i'he /,//;:<•,>' Canton Li<u; weigh.--about as much as Joey Harrington's wallet.

Perhaps the biggest difference

between the two football teams is this:

The Detroit Lions haven't won a playoff game in over 10 years while the Canton Lions haven't lost a sin-gle football game in over two years.

There's a mini-dynasty bui lding at Canton's Heritage Park, where the Lions practice four nights a week from the hot, humid days of early-

August through the bone-chilling nights of mid-November.

The Lions' freshmen unit consists of 27 players between the ages of 8 and 10 years old. According to league rules, they must weigh between 65 and 125 pounds.

If the saying is true that their is no T in the word team, then Livonia Churchill boys cross country coach John McGreevy found the right formula for success this fall.

"If one guy had a bad meet, somebody else would always come through/' said McGreevy, who was named Observerland Coach of the Year. "It was a true team."

The Chargers opened the season by sweeping the first five individual places en route to an impressive Livonia City title. They also won the Monroe-Jefferson Invitational and the Lakes Division crown

in the Western La.kes Activities Association. Churchill then captured its first-ever WLAA

meet in school history, the school's first league or conference boys title since 1976. The Chargers then added a runner-up finish to Novi in the Division I regional at Schoolcraft College.

Ranked in the top ten all season, Churchill fell a little short of its final goal, settling for 15th in the state meet.

McGreevy, a guidance counselor at Churchill, is no stranger to area coaching circles. He served as both girls and boys track and cross country coach at Redford Bishop Borgess (1979 through 1994). He is a graduate of the University of Detroit (1971) and Livonia Franklin High School (1966).

"I'd have to say at the beginning of the year we had no superstar, but Connor Schultz became that guy," said the lOth-year coach, who guided the Chargers to state meet berths in 2001 and 1999-

And even though the Chargers lose five seniors to graduation, McGreevy does return two first-team All-Observer picks next season, under-classmen Brandon Grysko and Tim Howse.

Senior Katie Cezat has re-written the girls basketball records books over the past four years at Canton. She is the Chiefs' all-time leader in points scored, rebounds and blocked shots.

She's got game Cezat plays her way into Canton record books

BY ED WRIGHT

STAFF WRITER

Pretend for a moment that you're guarding Canton's Katie Cezat during Wednesday night's Western Lakes Activities Association championship game.

You have long arms, you're quick for your size and your defensive prowess stacks up with anybody else in the league.

Cezat has just received a pass on the baseline about 15 feet from the basket. She's hit three straight jumpers so, naturally, you play her tight, putting a hand in the 5-11 sharp-shooter's face.

As Cezat cocks her arms to shoot, you instinctively jump to block the shot, only — surprise! — she doesn't shoot. The next thing you know, as you float back down

to earth, Cezat is dribbling down the baseline and bank-ing in a soft lay-up.

You can now relate to the countless number of high school basketball players who have been victimized the past four years by Cezat, arguably the best female basket-ball player to ever wear a Chief uniform.

The scenario above unfolded during Wednesday night's WLAA title game, which ended with a vintage Cezat stat line: 29 points, 13 rebounds and three blocked shots, not to mention a decisive Canton victory.

Hard to guard "You have to pick your poison when you play against

her," said Northern coach John Sharpe. "She can shoot

C O b s m r c r ^ T t V r c n l r i r NEWSPAPERS

LIOHS PROM PAGE B1

School against the unbeaten Westland Meteors, the fresh-men Lions have strung togeth-er 24 consecutive victories.

And the New England Patriots thought their 21-game winning streak was impres-sive?

The young Lions' last set-back was a 19-8 loss to the Lincoln Railsplitters on Oct.16, 2002, which means they lose about as often as the Detroit Lions change head coaches.

The team's formula for suc-cess isn't too complicated, according to its coach, J im Dexter, a Canton resident who is a sergeant with the Westland Police Department.

"We have hard-working kids and we prepare for games as well as any other team out there," Dexter said, when asked to explain the Lions' incredible streak.

Preparation is key Each week, Dexter and his

assistant coaches — Calvin Brown, Warren Riche, Chris Tidwell, Roger Peterson and Paul Dexter —• thoroughly scout their next opponent.

"We have a coaches meeting

• , V. ,1 i.• i; ! i! n; • P )Ui :>U r y,a;ih' • . . . t h e : .

ive talk ar><-u( what we're going to do the following week. We usually have a pretty good idea of what the other team is going to do in every situation."

Speaking of hard work, every Lion player must endure two weeks of grueling conditioning workouts in August. The open-ing practices consist of a series of sprints, bear-crawls, more sprints, push-ups, more

sprints, stomach crunches and, yes, more sprints.

While it can seem like Marine bootcamp for elemen-tary school kids, the demand-ing exercise regimen is neces-sary to prepare the players for what lies ahead, Dexter emphasized.

"For a lot of the kids, it's the hardest two weeks of their lives," Dexter said. "But football is a tough sport and you need to be tough to play it. We've only had. a couple of kids quit since I've coached here."

Another key element of the Lions' recent winning ways has been the experience the team's back-up players receive due to the string of lop-sided scores. -When a team builds an 18-point lead in the WSJFL, it must remove its top eight play-ers from the game. This opens up opportunities for the sec-ond-stringers.

"Until last week's playoff game, we had to take our 18-point kids out in the first half of every game this year," Dexter said. "This gives the younger, back-up players a lot of valu-able experience. So when it's their turn to start the following-year, they've already played a lot more than the kids on the other teams."

Price is arc grc . i i , bu t t.';e\ u u n ; w i n

\\ i h ( J a 1 u;!( r , i . That's where Braden Price

comes in. The 10-year-old speedster has probably spent as much time in the end zone the past two years as he has in his own backyard.

Price, the Lions' fastest player and one of their hardest hitters on defense, scored a team-record 16 touchdowns in his rookie season last year. So far this year, Price has scored 24 TD's.

In last week's semi-final playoff victory over Ypsilanti, Price scored three times — including TD runs of 88 and 57 yards — and he racked up 298 rushing yards.

"We were good before Braden got here last year," said Canton Lions Unit Director Dan Trublowski, who oversees all three Canton Lions football teams. "But he put us over the top. He's the best player in the league. He has a lot of athletic talent and when he turns the corner, nobody can catch him."

Everyone contributes While Price has been spec-

tacular, he's far from a one-man show. Josh Peterson, Jordan Smith, Nathan Emminger, Robert Riche.and Malcolm Hollingsworth have also made major contributions to the team's success.

Every player on the roster is required to play a minimum of five plays every game, includ-ing the smallest Lion, Alex Bonifacio, who stands 4-foot-tall and weighs in at 65 pounds.

"We have a lot of players like Alex who don't play more than their five plays, but when they do get it, they contribute," Dexter said. "Alex plays offen-sive end for us, and even though lie's not real big, when • •••'•• . Pi! : • A •„ n1( i !'n his side, a m i iii' iliii-.-, a great job ."

He qua l i f i ed fo r t h e s tate mee t w i th a fourth-place finish at regional (16:34). But he had other highlights. At the Catholic League championship meet, he finished second with a t ime of 16:37 and also f inished second at the Sturgis meet (16:27).

Working/a third-year selection to both the all-city and all-Catholic teams,.also continues to excel as a student, having been selected to the All-State Academic Team for the third time.

"Maxwell can best be described as a j ig-saw puzz le c o m p r i s e d of t h r e e p r i m a r y pieces: character, apt i tude and leadership," said Catholic Central head coach Tony Magni. "There jis n o t h i n g p r e t e n t i o u s abou t t h i s young man who is clearly dedicated not only to runnihg but to his studies as well."

Connor Schultz, Sr., Liv. Churchill: The All-Stater capped his fine senior year by finish-ing 22nd overall in Division I (16:06.7).

He also f inished-third at the regional and was runner-up in the Western Lakes Activit ies Association and Wayne County meets.

Among his t i t l e s t h i s season i nc l uded Livonia Public Schools, his second stra ight ; Lakes Division and Monroe-Jefferson.

In 2003 he was Churchill's MVP and ninth in the regional, while in 2002 he was voted Most Improved. , "Connor had a heck of a year," Churchilf

coach John McGreevy said. "Not only was he a fine runner, but he was a great leader. He forced his teammates t o run harder at every practice. His hard work over the summer paid off in November."

Dan Kapadia, Jr. , Salem: The junior, who turned in a best t ime of 16:15, had a produc-t i ve season f o r t h e s t a t e - r a n k e d Rocks. Kapadia placed first in the City Championship meet, four th in the Wayne County meet, th i rd in the WLAA event, sixth at the regional com-peti t ion and 41st at the state meet.

CEZAT FROM PAGE B1

outside, drive t o t h e basket, post up, and pass t h e ball very well. She's extremely tough to cover." • •

Cezat's totals of 1,350 points, 984 rebounds and 178 blocked shots are all school records, according to Canton coach Bob Blohm, who has relied on Cezat's consistent brilliance since she made the varsity team as a f reshman during the 2001 season.

"Katie is a unique player because she's a s trong post player, plus she moves well away from the rim," Blohm asserted. "Katie's versatility and size make her very difficult to guard."

Cezat's lofty statistics are doubly impressive considering most of the teams Canton has played the past two years designed their defenses to stop No. 25.

"The thing about Katie is she doesn't get f rus t ra ted when she's double-teamed and not getting the ball enough," Blohm said. "If she's not get-t ing the ball, she'll go get offensive rebounds and score tha t way. She's not afraid to step up either when the game is close and we need a big shot. She wants the ball."

Cezat's path to the Canton record books was initially paved in the first grade when her parents, Keith and Elizabeth, signed u p the ener-getic 6-year-old for a hoop clinic at the YMCA. Following two years of "Y" clinics, Cezat played a couple years in the Plymouth-Canton Junior Basketball League before mov-ing on to Our Lady of Good Counsel, where she starred in the Catholic Youth Organization leagues.

Two of her teammates at OLGC were current t eammate Molly Conlon and Salem standout Alyssa Guerin.

"I usually played up a league against older players, so that made me a better player," Cezat said. "I've always liked basket-ball, even at a young age. It came easy to me."

TOM HAWLEY | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Canton's Katie Cezat receives a pass during the Chiefs' victory over Northville on Oct. 14. Cezat will lead Canton into the state tournament next week.

Early promotion Cezat realized how much

potential — and talent — she actually had when Blohm reserved a varsity roster spot for her when she was in the n in th grade.

"At first it was kind of strange my f reshman year because I was playing with and against some of the girls who had coached me at summer camp," Cezat reflected. "I knew making varsity was special because there weren't too many players who did that. It was a great experience for me."

Cezat started all but three games her f r e shman season, averaging 5.5 points and 4.8 rebounds per game.

As a sophomore, Cezat's tal-ent started rising to the surface as she scored a team-high 16.2 points per game and grabbed 10.8 rebounds.

"The thing I remember the most about tha t year was how close we came to winning the regional," Cezat said. "West Bloomfield beat us in overtime in the regional final. That was

a great team with six really good seniors. I learned a lot tha t year."

One lesson she'll never for-get was one on assertiveness, which was "taught" to her by teammate Krissy Lake.

"Krissy taught me how important it is to be vocal out on the court," Cezat said. "When she wanted the ball, she would shout 'Ball!' really loud, so that's what I t ry to do when I know I can score on some-one. My teammates do a good job of getting if to me, too."

Helping hand Cezat's pr imary out-of-the-

spotlight contribution this year has been serving as a mentor and tutor to f reshman post player Marie Martin, who is one of the Chiefs' key reserves this season.

"I want to help Marie as much as I can because I know how difficult it is to play on the varsity as a freshman," Cezat said. "I try to help her with her post moves and with altTlre plays we run. It's easier for the girls who work their way up to

varsity f rom the f reshman and jun ior varsity teams because they've had more t ime to learn everything. Marie has done really well."

Cezat's academic achieve-ments are comparable to her stellar athletic feats. The two-year National Honor Society member has crafted a 3.65 grade-point average. She admit ted she's still uncertain about which college she will be a t tending next year.

"I want to go t o a big school with strong academics," said Cezat, who admitted there is a chance she may not play colle-giate basketball despite the fact she's being recruited by several schools. "I definitely want to play in college, bu t academics are important to me as well."

Cezat said her high school basketball days have flown by way too fast.

"It's definitely going to be sad when I walk off the court for the last time," she said. "But I gave it everything I had all four years, so I have no regrets."

Canton to host deep girls hoop district

BY ED WRiGHT STAFF WRITER

Canton High School will host one of the deepest, most competitive Division 1 girls basketball district tournaments in the state beginning Monday

Four of the six teams in the • District 25A brackets sport winning records and a fifth, Plymouth, finished 9-11 and a respectable sixth in the 12-team Western Lakes Activities Association.

"It's definitely a strong field," said Canton coach Bob Blohm, whose team is considered by many to be a slight favorite heading into the tourney. "Whenever you have a single-elimination format, anything can happen. The team that stays focused and gets hot at the right time will advance to the regional."

Monday's two first-round match-ups will pit Novi (14-6) against Northville (13-7) at . 5:30 p.m. and South Lyon (2-18) against Canton (15-5) at 7 p.m.

The Wildcats are led by Rachel Folino, who packs a strong scoring punch. The jun-ior poured in 22 points in Novi's season-opening victory over Canton in late-August. The lightning-quick Mustangs are paced by All-WLAA Division standouts Simone Toney and Evonna Karchon.

TOM HAWLEYI STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Plymouth's Jeanine Moise attempts to score against Salem's Teresa Copplellie during Wednesday night's Western Lakes Activities Association consolation game won by the Rocks. Both Salem and Plymouth drew first-round byes for next week's Division 1 district basketball tournament at Canton High School.

The Lions struggled this sea-son after losing their two top players to injury.

"We're young and we're short, which is not a good com-bination, especially when you have to play Canton," said South Lyon coach Jim Brennan. "We don't have any seniors that play regularly and our tallest players are 5-7 and

5-8. We just don't match well with Canton."

Canton knocked the Lions out of last year's district tour-nament, 36-33. The Chiefs eventually went on to claim the title, downing Salem in the final.

"Salem will take on the win-ner of the Novi-Northville game on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. The always-dangerous Rocks, who finished 14-6, fea-ture a deep, balanced attack. Senior Ellen Canale was the team's top scorer, netting 12.5 points per game. However, three other Rocks — Alyssa Guerin, Teresa Coppiellie and Kathryn Wheatley — averaged around eight pointe a contest.

"If a team-tries to shut down one of our players, we have three others who can pick up the slack," said Safem coach Fred Thomann. "We split with Northville this year and Novi has a good team, so it's not going to be easy no matter who we have to play."

Plymouth will square off against the winner of the Canton-South Lyon game Wednesday night at 7 p.m. The Wildcats and Chiefs have already met twice this season with Canton winning both games.

The district championship game is set for Friday night at 7 p.m.

Belleville cagers bounce Roosevelt BY ED WRIGHT STAFF WRITER

Wyandotte Roosevelt found out the hard way Thursday night that double-teaming Belleville's light-ning-quick guards is not an effective strategy.

Tiger backcourt mates Tia Lewis and Taylor Manly combined for 21 points to lead Belleville to a 46-36 win at Roosevelt. The victory left the winners with a 9-10 mark heading into next week's Division 1 district tourna-ment at Garden City. Roosevelt finished 2-18.

Lewis finished with 11 while Manley canned 10.

"Roosevelt double-teamed Taylor in the first half and Tia had nine points," said Belleville coach Kevin Edwards. "Then in the sec-ond half, they doubled Tia and Taylor had nine points. All the girls played hard tonight. It was a total team effort."

Three other Belleville play-ers chipped in with solid offensive efforts: Renee Seng and Jasmine Peterson both netted seven points while Qeytia Martin had six. Cynthia McGoldrick scored just a single point, but she pulled down a team-high 10 rebounds.

"We're trying to get Cynthia to shoot more, but

'Personally, we

would match-up better

against Romulus because

we can't match up real well

against Garden City's size."

Kevin Edwards coach, Belleville basketball team

all she wants to do is play defense and rebound," said Edwards.

Chelsea Stover and Monica Fortuna led Roosevelt with eight points each.

Belleville drew a bye for the first round of the district tournament. On Thursday evening, the Tigers will take on the winner of Tuesday night's Garden City-Romulus match-up.

Romulus features a fast-paced, push-the-ball-up-the-court style of play while the Cougars are known for their size up front.

"You'd would think Romulus would win this game, but you never know after last year," Edwards said. "I expected Romulus to win, but Garden City beat them.

"Personally, I think we would match-up better against Romulus because we can't match up real well against

Garden City's size. Romulus plays more upbeat like us."

FIAT ROCK 56, AGAPE CHRISTIAN 28: The Wolverines led 15-14 late in the second quarter before the Warriors reeled off a 6-0 run to end the half. 1 "It was never a game after

that," Agape coach Chuck Henry said. "We handled. their defensive pressure pret-ty well in the first half, but we turned the ball over a lot in the second half." 1

The game was knotted at 8-8 after one quarter. The hosts nabbed a 20-15 half-t ime lead before surging to a 39-19 advantage after three stanzas.

Brianna Chrenko paced the Wolverines with nine points. Lindsay Gant con-tributed six.

The Warriors' Carissa Scott led all scorers with 16 points.

Agape drained 8-of-13 free throws while Flat Rock sank 7-of-18.

The Wolverines, who fin-ished the regular season with a 9-11 mark, open district tournament play Thursday night against the winner of Tuesday's Huron Valley Lutheran-Detroit Urban Lutheran contest. The dis-trict is being hosted by Detroit Urban Lutheran.

Dinner Today's Greater Detroit

Bowling Hall of Fame din-ner at the Ukrainian

Cultural Center in Warren will honor this year's inductees including Jeanne Gebbia of Dearborn, Tony DaDeppo of Troy; Ray Williams and Myrtha Cooper, both of Detroit; Paul Stuart of Ferndale, George Zainea of Grosse Pointe, Dorothy Thompson from Shelby Township and the late Dan Ottman from Troy.

In addition to the fine repast and induction ceremonies, it's always an occasion to socialize with the main movers and shakers among the local bowl-ing scene. Other bowling writ-ers attend this function and we usually are at the same table where we tell stories, jokes and exchange lies, etc . . .

• Bob Chamberlain, one of this area's top performers for many years has recently been selected to the American Bowling Congress Hall of Fame. Induction ceremonies will be March 17 at the River Center in Baton Rouge, La., also the site of the 2005 ABC tournament and convention.

Chamberlain, 55, was a member of the great Stroh's Beer team that captured the ABC tournament in 1980 and finished third in 1981.

He has five other ABC tour-nament top 20 finishes and holds a 205 average for 37 ABC events.

As a Professional Bowlers Association tour member, Chamberlain earned two titles including the 1984 PBA National Championship in Toledo, Ohio.

His success continued into the PBA senior ranks where he has won four titles.

Chamberlain was the PBA senior player of the year in 2003 and has earned three Bowling Magazine Senior All-America honors.

"When I grew up my favorite TV show was Championship Bowling," Chamberlain said. "Many of the greats who bowled on that show made the ABC Hall of Fame. As I look back at it, being in the hall with those guys is something you could only dream about."

• Country Lanes is not an easy scoring house, but you might think otherwise judging by some recent scores with John Wilamowski of Farmington hitting the 300 mark with a 747 series in the Monday Nite Men's league.

• Hockey is still alive in the Detroit area.

I recently spoke with Doug Peacock, Director of Community Relations with the Plymouth Whalers Hockey Club. He would like to see the many bowling enthusiasts in this area come on out and enjoy watching some exciting hockey played by young men

(ages 16-20) who are aspiring to make it to the National Hockey League in the future.

There are several players in the league who have already been drafted by NHL teams such as Whaler player Vaclav Meidl, 18, from the Czech Republic, by the Nashville Predators. The home games are played at Compuware Arena (seating 3,500) located on Beck Road just a quarter-mile north of the M-14.

The Whalers are one of the

elite teams in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), com-prised of 20 teams, of which three are in the U.S. and the other 17 in Ontario.

Most games start at 7:30 p.m. and it is an inexpensive way for you and your whole family to. enjoy your non-bowl-ing evening.

Build a ramp: No exper ience is necessary

Last month, Steve Alexandrowski recruited other Rotarians to build a

ramp for Marilyn, a senior citizen who lives in Plymouth Township.

Marilyn, who is in her 70s and uses a wheelchair, has to leave her home three times a week for medical treatments. Her caregiver, Elaine, also in her 70s, makes sure she gets to her appointments, but it's been difficult for Elaine to help Marilyn walk down stairs.

A ramp would make get-ting to these doctor visits a little less dangerous.

Fellow Rotarian Jerry Trumpka brought the idea to Steve's attention. Steve said, "To my knowledge none of us had ever built a ramp before." Steve invited his friend, Eric Banner, to "lead our team of builders. Eric is an engineer at Ford and a very talented builder."

The team designed the ramp and Plymouth Rotary A.M. purchased the materi-als. On Oct. 23, Eric and Steve — along with Eric Zylinski, Bob Scoggins, Tom Sweeney, Mark Hammer, Prayush Sarawat and Peter Bunting built a ramp for Marilyn's home.

Seven short hours later the ramp was finished and they were ready, willing and eager to tackle a few more chores.

"We repaired a leaking shower, replaced a staircase with safer stairs, cleaned light fixtures, repaired the back light, repaired the door to shed, and cleaned gutters." Steve said, "The club decided to do the project because the need was very real."

"This was just one of the 53 projects Plymouth United Way facilitated on Make a Difference Day," said Jerry Trumpka, Communications and Special Events Coordinator, Plymouth United Way. More than 120 volunteers, young and old, worked around town, helped seniors with yard work and replaced smoke detector bat-teries and light bulbs.

United Way also partnered with the Plymouth Symphony. The Celebration Youth Orchestra played music for children at the Arts Council and afterwards everyone had the chance to carve pumpkins.

Jerry said, "It was a very successful day. So many peo-ple in the community have caught the volunteer spirit. It's quite a blessing to see that many people give up a day out of their schedule to help others".

Earlier this fall, United Way collected school supplies for children. Coming up in November and December, they will partner with the Plymouth Whalers for a Food Drive for Salvation Army and collect Teddy Bears, which will be "donated to local United Way's children's char-ities"

In December the Plymouth Rotary A.M. Club will kick off the holiday season by giv-ing a party for children and their families at the Tanger Center and hosting a dinner for Senior Citizens at the Cultural Center.

Ifyou've been looking for a way to make a difference, lit-tle or big, but don't know what to do, Steve Alexandrowski or Jerry Trumpka can probably find a project for you. Experience not necessary. _ ^And if you ever wake up early and can't get back to sleep, you are welcome to join other Rotarians every Tuesday morning at 7:00 a.m. at the Cultural Center. There's always coffee, juice and breakfast to help get your day off to a healthy start.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T Salvation Army offers

BY HUGH GALLAGHER

STAFF WRITER

Five years ago, Donna was going through a divorce from an abusive husband. She had four children, and rising debts when she sought help from First Step.

As Christmas approached the counselors at First Step suggested that Donna go to the Salvation Army's Plymouth Community Center and meet with Bill Moritz, the social services

director. The suggestion proved to be, as she says, "a godsend."

"Bill is the most won-derful man, he's done so much for my family, especially my kids," said Donna, who asked that her last name not be used.

"When you go to FIA (the state's Family Independence Agency) or any other agency, they do not treat you with respect. You can't carry on a conversation with them or get them to answer a phone call. When I call Bill, he wel-comes me with open arms and I always feel respect and dignity. I never feel I have to swal-low my pride to come to speak with him."

KNOWLEDGE

Lisa Webster grew up in a Salvation Army family. Her parents are com-missioned officers in the Chicago area. Now Lisa works in an after-school program, guiding kids and helping them with homework as she works on her teaching degree.

Being treated with respect and dignity is a common theme for those who turn to the Salvation Army for help. The Christian-based organization is probably best known for its shelters and its annual Red Kettle Christmas fund-raiser, but the Army offers a wide range of services for youth, struggling families and the elderly.

This past week, centers throughout Metro Detroit were taking request:- for the Christmas holidays.

At the Plymouth center on South Main, Moritz said the Army assists 600 families year with a variety of services. During the Christmas season, Moritz said his case load doubles.

"A lot of people can make it through the year, but during the holidays, you need extra money to buy things for the kids," he said.

Through a program called THAW, the Army provides utility payments for those who have received shutoff notices with a grant from the Michigan Public Utilities Commission. Consumers Energy helps with a no-strings contribution program called People Care.

The center has a food pantry that provides a nutritional selection of foods for people waiting for their food stamps.

In the summer, the center operates a sum-mer camp for kids.

When people with drug or alcohol problems come to the center, Moritz gets them into a rehabilitation center. When a person has trouble making a rent payment, the Army offers assistance.

or those in need LOCAL NEEDS

The Salvation Army image set in most minds is an inner city mission serv-ing the homeless with food and prayers and the brass bands at Christmas time. But more prosperous sub-urbs also have people in need all year long.

"It's not so much the homeless, but I've met quite a few people with drug and alcohol problems that have needed treat-ment," Moritz said Monday. "Around here there's a big problem with fathers leaving the home,

so now there's a single mother who has never worked in her life and she has children to raise and she doesn't know what to do. There is a lot v

of need." Moritz understands about being in need and

finding help at the Salvation Army. "I'm an ex-addict and I was at the end of my

rope and was going to off myself and ended up in the hospital because of that," he said. "I went to the Salvation Army for rehabilitation and was sent to the Harbor Light rehab center. I was cleaned up, I got saved and that was it. They took time and invested in me, I became a social worker through them. My learning comes from

Quilting helps her keep memories alive BY JACK GLADDEN

STAFF WRITER

If you like to take a trip down memory lane, forget the scrapbooks and the photo albums.

Canton resident Christine Popoff will take those treasured photos — or just about any other memorabilia — and turn them into memory quilts. Or wall hangings. Or quilted runners or table toppers.

She'll even make a memory tree skirt for your Christmas tree or a mantle scarf to go over the fireplace celebrating dif-ferent holidays.

Popoff started quilting 18 years ago. 'When I learned how to quilt, I forgot

how to cook," she said. "It's all done free-form. Any memorabilia can go into a quilt."

She said graduation quilts are the No. 1 request she gets.

"People come in with boxes of T-sh i r t s she said. "It's 18 years of memo-ries to go into a quilt that the kids can take to college with them. Every one of these quilted treasures tells a story."

Popoff, who describes herself as a

workaholic, said she took a sewing course in her sophomore year of high school.

"I always took the extra credit," she

said. "If I was asked to make one gar-ment, I'd make three. I made most of my clothes in high school."

When she stated quilting, she said,

she bought a book on quilting and learned the art of stippling.

"It gives texture to the finished prod-uct," she said.

Popoff makes many quilts for family and friends as gifts. But she gets many ideas from her customers, whose biggest complaint, she said, is "Where have you been?"

"Most of my customers bring in an envelope full of pictures. We select the ones to use and they help design it," she said.

When a friend was moving to Canada, Popoff made a quilt for her to remember her neighbors in the states.

"I made it red, white and blue," she said.

For end-of-the year graduation gifts for teachers she's made pillows with the full class picture on them.

The first quilt she made was a gift for her father. It was a retirement quilt and was done in all black and white.

She does all the work on "one little machine" in her home.

"But most people can't tell this is

When the 9/11 memory quilt came to Canton, Popoff and her children, Daniel, 15, and Heather, 13, went to view it.

"My daughter sat there for about 10 minutes staring at the quilt of a father who had died in the attack," she said.

Popoff notes that another word for quilt is com-fort.

"You're only limited by your imagination," she said. "If a picture is worth a thousand words, imagine the value of your family photographs. Now imagine those precious photos in a quilted treasure you will have forever."

In addition to the quilts, Popoff also makes tree skirts, table runners, gold studded sweatshirts, baby quilts, cloth books, baby bibs and tooth fairy pillows. And she'll also come up with other spe-cialized items for customer requests.

Volunteers sought for Wendy's art exhibits

The 17th Annual Wendy's Celebrates Youth Arts Month program sponsored by Wendy's Restaurants in partnership with ArtServe Michigan is seeking volunteers coordina-tors for the exhibits set to run Feb. 28 through March 31, 2005. The program is designed to allow children and youth to display their artwork in Wendy's restaurants around the state during March, which is national Youth Arts Month.

The Wendy's Celebrates Youth Arts Month program is an excellent advocacy and com-munity relations' tool because it allows people to view the exceptional artwork created by students in their community.

The program is also a great way for students to receive some well-deserved recogni-tion. In the past, coordinators have used the program to

increase parental involvement through opening day recep-tions, artist-in-residency pro-grams and award presenta-tions. Any way you look at it, Wendy's Celebrates Youth Arts Month is great for students, teachers, parents, school dis-trict and the community.

Last year 115 Wendy's restau-rants in Michigan displayed the artwork of over 5,000 stu-dents. This year we have requests from approximately 155 Wendy's restaurant owners to have student artwork dis-played in their restaurants.

If you are interested in being involved in this year's program as a volunteer coordinator or just want more information about the program, please con-tact Donna Edwards at (248) 557-8288, ext.13 or by e-mail at education@artservemichi-gan.org.

Who is 1X2 years old and still one, funny chick?

It's Charley's Aunt, a farcical play written and produced by Brandon Thomas in 1892 that opens Nov. 19 at the Farmington Players Barn in Farmington Hills.

This hilarious, entertaining and romantic comedy is full of mistaken identities, sight gags and physical humor and, of course, a man dressed as a woman.

<(With its fast pace, 10-per-son cast and complicated stage action, the show requires a high level of concentration and split-second timing," said Emily McSweeney, director of Charley's Aunt.

The plot centers around two undergraduates at Oxford University, madly in love with two beauties.

The love-struck students invite the girls to lunch, osten-sibly to meet Charley's rich, widowed aunt. All the plans go awry when the aunt telegraphs that she won't arrive in time. Without the aunt as a chaper-

one, the young men quickly realize the girls won't come to lunch.

The answer presents itself, however, when a fellow student appears wearing women's clothing that he is trying on for a theatrical review. He is immediately seized and forced to masquerade as the doting aunt.

Things get more complicated with the arrival of additional characters that add to the comedic confusion.

This joyous, farcical romp is another in a long line of mem-orable productions staged by the Farmington Players, now in their 53rd year.

This is their third season in their all-new barn theater, located on 12 Mile Road between Farmington and Orchard Lake roads.

The Farmington Players Present "Charley's Aunt" by Brandon Thomas will be pre-sented at 8 p.m. Nov. 19, 20, 26, 27, Dec. 2,3,4,9,10,11 and at 2 p.m. on Nov. 21,28, Dec. 5. Tickets are $13 regular price; $10 on Thursdays and for sen-

iors on Sunday, No^. 21 only. Group sales rates available. Box Office (248) 553-2955.

The theatre is at 32332 W. 12 Mile Rd. Farmington Hills. Visit www.farmingtonplayers.org for more information.

The following Farmington Players present the produc-tion: Director, Emily McSweeney; assistant director, Janet Ginis; co-producers, Linda Springall, Tim Timmer; stage managers, Maggie Einhause, Tim Timmer.

Cast members are: John Nowaczyk as Jack Chesney; Tom Griffin as Brassett; Ross Grossman as Charley Wykeham; John BoufFord, first 2 weekends as Lord Fancourt Babberley; Chris Oakley, last 2 weekends as Lord Fancourt Babberley; Erik Carlson as Colonel Sir Francis Chesney; Hank Bennett as Stephen Spettigue; Shannon Mobey as Kitty Verdun; Danielle Fletcher as Amy Spettigue; Julia Spina-Kilar as Donna Lucia D'Alvadorez and Kelly Gallagher as Ela Delahay.

Benefit up Angela Hospice program Nearly 600 people turned

out to show their support for the work of Angela Hospice.

Founded in 1985 in Livonia, Angela Hospice has helped thousands of families across Southeast Michigan.

The 17th annual Light Up a Life Benefit, held Oct. 24 at Laurel Manor, raised $170,000 for programs that support ter-minally ill individuals and their families.

"I am so pleased with the success of this event," said Angela Hospice president and CEO, Sister Mary Giovanni. "The generosity of our hosts, George and Dolores Riley, the dedication of our staff and vol-unteers, and the support of our loyal benefactors all helped to -make this possible."

Guests at the event enjoyed a

full evening, with live and silent auctions, a cocktail reception, dinner, and three musical acts.

Fanchon Stinger of Fox-2 Detroit was the evening's auc-tioneer.

Stinger helped to bring in over $10,000 on the live auc-tion, where heavy bidding ensued on items such as a Hawaii condo stay and a behind-the-scenes trip to the set of Law & Order Special Victims Unit. A 4-piece family room set from Livonia's Chris Furniture was another hot item.

"The feedback from our guests has been wonderful," said Alice Barringer, Angela Hospice's Development Manager. "We're so happy that so many people came out to

support our hospice, and they seemed to have a really enjoy-able evening."

Raffle drawings added to the evening's excitement, with the top prize for the "Either/OR" raffle going to Beulah White, a nurse aide in Angela Hospice's home care program.

"Many times people don't realize how important it is to support organizations like Angela Hospice," said Barringer. "But we couldn't run our programs on insurance reimbursement alone, because many of the services we pro-vide are not covered by insur-ance. It's the support of our community donors and our fabulous volunteers that enable Angela Hospice to provide such personalized, compas-sionate care."

the streets; I was on the streets a long time." ' That street learning and empathy pay off when dealing with clients who come to the Army for assistance during the holidays and throughout the year,

"One year I cried for a week, to tell you the truth," said Colleen Davison of Canton, mother of five children whose life took a downturn when her husband died three years ago. "There was no food in the house. I cried for a week and if it was- ' n't for the Salvation Army and Bill... They care about you, you're not a number. You call here and Bill knows your name and how many kids you have, he doesn't have to look it up."

Michelle St. Pierre, director of media relations for the metro Detroit Salvation Army, said FIA and other agencies will often send clients t& the Army first.

"We let them cry. They need someone to listen to them and guide them," she said.

Because of grant requirements, some assistance is based on federal poverty guidelines but St. Pierre said the Army always tries to find away to help anyone in a crisis situation.

The Plymouth Community Center is a model of what the Salvation Army offers at centers throughout the area, St. Pierre said. In addition to the well-stocked pantry, there is also a gymna-sium and meeting rooms. The Salvation Army is also a religion and the chapel is an important part of every Army center, but the Army's services are availableto everyone.

"We don't discriminate against anyone who comes," said St. Pierre, a Catholic. "We invite you to come to the services. We're not preaching to people but let them know we're a church organi-zation."

Donna has found a lot of support through the organization. While she works in the summer, her twins, now 13, have enjoyed the summer camp. Moritz has found ways to get bicycles and winter coats for the children. When an older son became involved with drugs, Moritz went to sit and pray with him at the hospital.

For Joanne Shettler, 22, of Canton, a recent visit was her first to the center. She has two chil-dren, ages 4 and 2, and she needs help to give them a Christmas. A neighbor told her about the Salvation Army's programs.

"She said they were very helpful and didn't look down on you because you were asking for the help and they were really nice and willing to help you," Shettler said.

Moritz said many clients first come to the Army because they've been told by friends and neigh-bors about the Army's programs.

YOUTH PROGRAMS

In addition to summer camp programs at the centers, the Army also sponsors year round clubs for boys and girls and the Strive basketball pro-gram, which requires that players do their home-work and get tutoring before they practice.

On Monday, at the Army's Wayne-Westland Center on Venoy in Westland, Captain Mindie O'Neil was getting ready to prepare a meal for students enrolled in the Skillman Afterschool Program, partially funded by the Skillman Foundation. Children come to the center after school to play in the gym, eat a hot meal, do their homework and get some tutoring.

Lisa Webster, a sophomore at Oakland Community College, was setting out learning games. She has been working this semester as a tutor.

"They like and enjoy games but they learn at the same time," Webster said. "What we try to do is to love them."

Webster, whose parents are Salvation Army officers, wants to be an elementary teacher and works five days a week with the Afterschool Program.

Lashandra Reynolds of Westland is another soldier in the Salvation Army. She was introduced to the religion as a teenager when her mother sought treatment for addiction. Reynolds helped her mother and joined the Army choir.

In October, she returned to the Army to receive help and to offer help.

She was recently laid off and her electricity was cut off, so she came to the Army for assistance.

"The Salvation Army cares for people, they lis-ten to you," she said. "I will always be here to help t h e m a s a volunteer."

The Salvation Army is going high tech in its effort to recruit 50,000 bellringers for the annual holiday Red Kettle drive, Nov. 22 to Dec. 24, Sundays excluded.

The Eastern Michigan Division has launched its first on-line volunteer drive.

"It's a new program for us," said Russ Russell, executive director of development for the division. "We're trying to get technologically sawy. We've got to recruit people. We have over 300 locations where ket-tles will be located."

Bell ringing opportunities are posted at www.ringbell.org.

"You can go in, log on and go right to sites that are closes to your ZIP code," Russell said.

Volunteers can sign up for two or three hour shifts. Last year, 20 percent of the kettles were manned by volunteers, this year Russell said the Army is hoping to recruit up to 50 percent of their bellringers.

"Some of our clients are bell-ringers and it's a way for them to make money.. . we do help people to build their work ethic," Russell said. "But our goal is to get as many volun-teers as we can to cut our costs and to use the dollars to help the poor in the metro Detroit area."

Russell said the need has increased significantly and that the fund-raising effort has been hampered by the decision of some merchants, notably Target, not to allow bellringers in front of their stores.

Russell said the campaign will need to make up $250,000 lost by not having the Target sites.

The Red Kettle campaign takes in $1.6 million a year in Metro Detroit, part of $4.65 million raised with corporate

A cure for winter blues f e're getting into the t ime of

year when the weather is less than perfect. The '

warm, dry days of summer will give way to rain, snow and ice. And in Michigan we can get all three in one day.

Now we can't just hibernate until springtime. And that means we have to be prepared to go out in whatever Mother Nature throws at us. And even though I'm fortunate enough to spend a few months in Florida, I'm still here for part of the fall and win-ter. So here's a few tips that I fol-low and I hope you will, too:

• Dress for the weather. A coat, gloves, scarf, hat and boots will protect you from the wet and the cold.

' • Drive even more carefully; if it's raining or snowing the best thing to do is slow down, give yourself more room between you and the car in front of you. And always wear a seat belt, no matter what time of year.

, • Stay active. Walk around the mall or jog in place at home.

B Eat healthy foods and drink enough water. In winter, we tend to drink less water than in sum-mer, but it's just as important to stay hydrated in the winter.

Before you know it, spring will be back, and you'll still be in shape.

And remember, take care of your health before it's lonnggg gone!

Genome The secret of how life works

Children learn about DNA and how it makes them who they are in the current exhibit at the Detroit Science Center. A timeline tells about American biologist James Watson and British physicist Francis Crick developing the concept of what DNA looked like with the double helix in the 1950s. In 1962 they won the Nobel Prize for their work on DNA.

Did you know your entire set of genes is called a genome? Can you use the word genome in a sentence? A national survey by Pfizer revealed only one per-cent of respondents felt comfortable answering those questions, yet it's important now more than ever to under-stand implications stemming f rom the H u m a n Genome Project, the research effort to identify the more than 30 ,000 genes in human DNA. With tha t in mind, scientists at Pfizer have produced an exhibit to lead children and adults through the medical breakthroughs that will change health care forever.

Even scientists like Vera Wheat are discovering facts as they walk through "Genome: The Secret of How Life Works" at the Detroit Science Center. A retired microbiologist who lives in Birmingham, Wheat has plenty of time to study the 5,000-square-foot exhibit aimed at teaching everyone f rom fifth grade up about the latest revolution in human genetics. As a docent for the Center's Pi Society, Wheat volunteers twice a mon th to guide visitors through the maze of information on topics rang-ing f rom DNA, the molecule tha t encodes genetic information, to design-ing future therapies including new can-cer drugs.

"What's fascinating is people don't realize they have this as a part of who you are," Wheat said. "The exhibit explains DNA, chromosomes and genes and how they relate. It goes through the history and the practical implications. A lot of people know about DNA, but not why that, occurs. Ninety-nine point nine percent of h u m a n DNA is all alike. It's the one-tenth of one percent that makes us different. Another exhibit shows how life is created — half of chromosomes come f rom mom, half f rom your dad so you end up with 32 pairs. When cells replicate, the}- duplicate each other. They •-:i h-'-v •!•'(!!)!<!•• I.-; l ike a cell I J "

w i n e e d m o r e ha i r , t h e D N A telLs t h e b o d y t o d o tlitit. D N A t h e r e c i p e lor the cells to do their work."

Hands-on activities allow children of all ages to learn about how genes make us who we are. Organized into four sec-

tions, t h e exhibit was m a d e possible by Pfizer Inc. and produced by Clear Channel Exhibitions in collaboration wi th t h e National H u m a n Genome Research Institute, a division of the Nat ional Insti tutes of Health, and Whi tehead Ins t i tu te /MIT Center for Genome Research. I t begins with a graphic of a h u m a n egg cell and pro-ceeds to compare an individual's genome to a b ig recipe book tha t spells out the ingredients for thousands of proteins t ha t make and main ta in t h e body. Along t h e way, it reveals amazing facts, such as h u m a n s sharing 98.4 percent of their genes with chimpanzees.

"It's a difficult subject to teach," Wheat said. "The exhibit br ings it to life and makes it unders tandable for everyone. I 'm amazed children are asking to bet ter unders tand the technology. The informa-t ion is complex. They ta lk about stem cells and broach the issue of manipulat-ing the genes."

Whea t learned tha t genes as well as the environment play a role in causing skin cancer. He knew years spent in the sun as a lifeguard could lead to cancer, b u t never realized heredi ty adds to the risk.

"One area p u t together by University of Michigan opened m y eyes," Wheat said. "Everytime I come down, I learn something different."

Educat ing the public about scientific discoveries is one of the missions at Pfizer, according to Thomas T\iri, direc-tor of genomic sciences at the Connecticut facility. Inspired by the suc-cessful completion of t h e H u m a n Genome Project in 2003 , Pfizer set out to create an exhibit t o illustrate how the discovery impacts daily life.

"It's going to revolutionize health care and they need to unde r s t and what the science is and how it can change the fu tu re so they will be able to make deci-sions about health care and science poli-cy," said Turi, one of t h e exhibit's techni-cal advisers. "There will be a t remendous a m o u n t of b e n e f i t s . S c i e n t i s t s aJl ove r t h e worid are trying to unlock secrets. Every day we're seeing more studies coming out to identify genetic bases of certain diseases."

Unravel the secret of how life works at the 'Genome' exhibit continuing through Dec. 23, at the Detroit Science Center.

FROM PAGE C8

Science is advancing so rap-idly that Stephen Hunt thinks it's not impossible that by the year 2050 today's health care will be viewed "as very barbar-ic." He remembers the early days of the genomic revolution in the late 1970s.

"I 've been in science the last 20 to 25 years and can remem-ber that's where the whole idea of cloning DNA started," said -Hunt, executive director of pharmacology at Pfizer Global Research and Development in Ann Arbor, where 3,500 scien-tists are working to better understand disease. "Two years ago, the completion of

the sequencing of the human genome was our moon shot. For the first t ime now, we have all of the letters in the genome we can study. We don't know what those words are or how they translate into the blue-print of life just yet."

Hunt spent more than a year making sure children as well as adults understand the implications of genomic research. As a consultant, he especially tried to think of ways to involve children. Hun t originally was inspired to become a scientist by his par-ents and a ninth-grade teacher in Maryland.

"I would hope people would come away with an excitement about the potential," Hunt said. "Ten years ago, I wouldn't have believed we'd come as far as we have. It's an incredible

time to be in science. I would hope people seeing the exhibit would walk out with the excitement we all see for the future of health care."

"Genome: The Secret of How Life Works" continues to Dec. 23, at the Detroit Science Center, 5020 John R. For more information, call (313) 577-8400 or visit the Web site at

www.detroitsciencecenter.org. For a virtual tour, visit www.genome.pfizer.com.

When Dr. Thomas Gelehrter became a ijiedical doctor 35 years ago he said "no one could clone a gene. Today, that's pretty commonplace."

With the successful comple-tion of the Human Genome Project, it's possible that one day scientists maybe able to use genetic research to conquer dis-ease prenatally. And to think many of the advances began at the University of Michigan Medical School in 1956 when James Van Gundia Neel, an M.D., established the first aca-demic human genetics depart-ment in the U.S.

"Then we could deduce some-thing about sickle cell anemia, but being able to get at the gene itself and carry out studies, to detect the disease prenatally is excitement at a different level, a gee wiz kind of thing," said Thomas Gelehrter, professor of human genetics and department chairman at U-M Medical School since 1987. "Today we can ask so many questions that couldn't be attacked in the past. We talk about how exciting it is today, it was then too because of tremen-dous advancements in tech-niques and therefore the ques-tions we ask."

Gelehrter has no problem list-ing the many accomplishments of his colleagues at U-M Medical School over the years. Before Francis Collins was overseeing the Human Genome Project for the National Institutes of Health and U.S. Department of Energy, he as a faculty member, was cloning genes for cystic fibrosis, neurofibromatosis, and Huntington's disease.

Gelehrter says the discovery of

a gene may not lead immediately to a cure, but diagnostic testing.

"If you think about the medical implication for cystic fibrosis, knowing the gene allowed one to determine what the altered pro-tein is. It enabled us to have genetic testing, carrier testing for couples and prenatal testing. That was not possible before the gene was cloned. Now it's stan-dard recommended practice that couples are offered cystic fibrosis testing."

A physician in the genetics clinic, Gelehrter today is able to test patients and family mem-bers for diseases that he was never able to during the majority of his career.

"WTe hope we will learn more about the factors that make us susceptible or resistant to certain

conditions, whether it's the dis-ease agent or how we respond to-treatment," said Gelehrter. "People come to the clinic to find out about their disease such as Marfan syndrome that Abraham Lincoln was thought to have, or : they're at risk of a disease such as Huntington's. We can offer coun-seling and testing for hemochro-matosis, an iron overload dis-ease, diagnose other family members so you monitor them closely for iron overload. The treatment is literally donating • blood until you can reduce iron stores. It's an example of a genet-ic disease treatment that isn't genetic but brought about by genetic research. A family mem-ber can come in for testing.

People have much more knowl-edge now."

Bi rmingham and The JAR Group of Bloomfield Hills announce the grand opening of Maple Park Condomin iums in Canton Township, an int i -mate communi ty of 42 f irst-floor mas te r suite and r anch condominiums with luxury features.

Boardwalk like traditional farmhouse, only better

The Boardwalk has the appearance of a large classic styled farmhouse. It, however, has many more amenities than the traditional farmhouse had. There is a covered porch, many square-paned windows with a Palladian window on the sec-ond floor above the bay win-dows below, and a chimney accented in wood.

Walking into the Boardwalk, one has a large open room on the left that is the living room and the dining room. The fire-place is centered in the left walk between two large win-dows. French doors open in the rear onto a nice deck, ideal for family gatherings when the barbecue is the center of atten-tion.

The elongated kitchen runs across the right rear of the home with a gracious amount of counter space. An eating bar island is in the center. Passing through a pocket door, one finds the utility and pantry cabinet. Beyond is the two-car garage with an attic overhead.

Between the kitchen and the front door is a half bath. Stairs to the second floor are also in this area.

The bedrooms occupy the second floor, as does the attic, only accessible from the pull-down stairs in the garage. Bedroom two and three, sepa-rated by the stairs, each have plenty of windows to let the sunlight in and a wall closet ample for storing clothes. A full

taraJmcik

bath, including a tub and sin-gle sink, is across from bed-room three, while a linen closet is outside the door to bedroom two.

The master suite is very large. Two windows provide sunlight to brighten the room. "His and Her" sinks are on the left while a walk-in closet is on the right. Both the closet and the master bath have pocket doors instead of regular doors. Once inside, a hard decision has to be made. Do you use the oversized tub or the oversized shower? What a difficult deci-sion to make.

The Boardwalk has 1,026 square feet on the main floor and 892 square feet on the sec-ond floor. The unfinished attic adds 236 square feet more of space if needed.

Find your favorite recipe each Thursday in Taste

Improve the value of your kitchen (NAPSI) - If you're cooking

up ways to add value to your home, you may want to head to the kitchen. Real estate experts say kitchen renovations gener-ally add more value to a home than do projects in any other room.

In fact, kitchens are so val-ued that one survey found investing just $2,000 in reno-vations recoups up to 102 per-

cent of the initial investment when a home is sold.

Designers say one of the best (and least expensive) ways to spruce up a kitchen is to replace the accessories on old stoves and ovens. Given that most of the 112 million ranges in the U.S. will last about 20 years-and their accessories won't-it may be a smart idea to follow their advice.

A company called Range Kleen provides range acces-sories at discount prices. The accessories include: Knobs, drip pans, gas range grates, reflector plates, trim rings and burner covers.

The company also makes replacement parts (replace-ment elements, for example), kitchen gadgets, cleaning kits and bakeware. The products

generally sell for three to five times less than what oven manufacturers charge.

Homeowners can visit the company's Web site (rangek-leen.com) and order new' accessories, or visit retailers such as Wal-Mart, Bed & Bath or Linens & Things to find the company's products.

For more information, visit wwvv.rangekleen.com..

Lefs Talk About Real Estate

" O P T I O N F O R T H E M A T U R E B U Y E R "

As people live longer, the demand for real estate will reflect the buying power of an aging population. As in many other aspects of society, buying power is shifting from the thirty to forty year old group to those who are fifty and up". Advertising agencies are focusing their messages on'the age group most able and inclined to buy certain products.

People over fifty usually have completed the most financially demanding time of their lives and often are ready to purchase higher priced products and services. This is particularly worth noting in residential real estate. Many homeowners have built up a large equity in their homes by the time they reach fifty and are often looking for a change in lifestyle.

If you are the type of person described above, here are some home buying alternatives for you:

CONDOMINIUM LIVING

The condominium option provides the dual benefits of the freedom of apartment living and the financial advantages of ownership. It is one of the most popular forms of home ownership for the over fifty age group.

CLUSTER HOMES

Perhaps you enjoy owning your own home but are getting a little tired of the maintenance and upkeep required. A cluster home may be your best option. This concept gives you the benefits of condominium living and the enjoyment of a single family dwelling. These free-standing homes are located in close proximity. All exterior maintenance costs including roofs, outside walls, and landscaping are paid for collectively by all property owners.

RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES

If you are shopping for a certain lifestyle, many residential communities appeal to varying interests. Some target golfers, boaters, skiers, or other recreational pursuits. Others are located in geographical areas that feature various types of weather. ADVICE: Ask your Realtor® about the choices that best suit your interests.

BY RICHARD L KOMER

CORRESPONDENT

Active adult communities have long been an accepted part of the housing scene in southern states such as Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona. In southeastern Michigan, development of new active adult communities has only recently begun. In August, Pulte Hordes, Inc., announced that the company plans to invest $1.8' Billion to build four new active adult housing com-munities in Metro Detroit sub-urbs.

Active adult communities are geared toward one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S. population - buyers who are 55 years old and older. This age group is financially established, healthy and ready to enjoy all that life has to offer. These buyers don't want to mow the lawn, paint the house or do other household chores. Theyd much rather

: A new trend in housing play than work in their spare time.

They are looking for some-thing distinctive and don't want to lose their identity in some huge condominium or mega-sized community. A gatehouse, community build-ing, pool, tennis courts, and walking trails are all amenities they seek. They also desire planned activities and oppor-tunities to socialize.

Today's active adult commu-nities are smaller develop-ments that feel like the neigh-borhoods of years ago. Architects frequently cluster homes rather than putting them up in a single row, result-ing in more open space, increased security and a more appealing community.

Ibday's active adults prefer homes that position the garage off the street, making the front of the home the focal point. Homes in active adult commu-nities also frequently incorpo-rate dramatic foyers offering long, open views and design

features that allow residents to comfortably age-in-place.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLES

Since most active adults are more health conscious, builders have responded by offering top-notch fitness rooms and programs that allow seniors to lead active lifestyles. Instead of a workout bench and basic exercise equipment, you'll find club-houses designed with spas, massage rooms and yoga stu-dios.

To allow homeowners to get in touch with nature, activc adult homes will also have amenities such as sunrooms, screen porches, and large win-dows, which bring in light and invoke a sense of tranquility and serenity. Often, builders will include flex space in these homes, which allow the home-owner to convert an area into an extra bedroom, den, office or exercise studio.

Active adult homes have

clean lines that appeal to the homebuyers' need to reduce clutter and simplify their lives. Most new active adult homes will have kitchens with upgraded appliances, granite countertops, and islands and cabinets that resemble furni-ture. Baths will feature show-ers with multiple spray heads, whirlpool tubs, heated floor tiles and other deluxe ameni-ties. Kitchens will be the "heart of the home" and deluxe mas-ter baths will be "the sanctu-ary." Universal design features (such as seats in shower stalls, extra-wide door entrances, lever handles, ctc.) arc usually incorporated into the design of active adult homes because they save money when installed during the building process and give residents the features they need to remain in their homes as they age.

Richard L. Komer received the Builder of the Year award f rom the Building Industry Association of Southeastern Michigan in 1998.

The Looming Labor Deficit WORKWISE s It's no secret

that as the Baby Boom eases into retirement, much work they leave behindsimply

Won't be done. 'How will this emerging trend affect the interim staffing industry? Some firms think that., . assignments at the executive level will be

skilled baby boomers willing to meet the challenge, largely for personal satisfaction.

; Vince Papi, managing director for the Americas Practice (North and South America) of Boyden Interim Management, is based in Pittsburgh. The company places executives who are at feast 50 years of age. Papi's expanding division currently includes 400 interim executives. The practice, with nine offices Worldwide, opened in Holland in 1990 an<i i$ he&4<m&rtered in the United Kingdom. Papi maintains that the impending labor shortage is international, as evidenced by the company's 3 ,000 interim executives abroad.

' "People at all levels will be retiring," Papi predicts. "There will be a pool because of people living a lot longer. Younger baby boomers in their 40s have been downsized, outsized and rightsized

and are more entrepreneurial." Boyden's European division is seeing increasing popularity with the interim lifestyle. Papi thinks that competitors will be marketing this service more aggressively.

"Organizations will be doing more to keep people on an interim basis," he says. Boyden communicates with its talent pool by telephone or e-mail at least four

times per year. The company is also developing a newsletter.

Pam McKemie, senior vice president of LocumTenens, headquartered in Atlanta, says that her 10 year-old firm, which places physicians specializing in anesthesia, radiology and psychiatry, is preparing to meet the shortage she views as national. McKemie mentions that the trend of women to outnumber men in medical school will create an added stressor on the workforce: 'When women come out in 10 to 12 years, they will increase shortages," she observes, "because they typically work less than men do during childbearing years. This is the reality." Are staffing firms in other industries preparing for this

development? LocumTenens is already drawing

upon the 15 percent of clinical physicians who work on a contract or temporary basis. The firm's contracts extend from a week to a year in a $2.5 billion industry.

"We're a boutique agency," she explains, "concentrating on high-demand, low-supply specialties. We're moving into surgery next year." She notes tha t the rapidity with which imaging technology diagnoses clinical problems quickly — and the increased patient load caused by aging baby boomers ~ account for "a critical shortage in certain areas."

McKemie mentions that her industry has been placing interim physicians for about 20 years. "Everyone is going into med schools and recruiting more physicians into a locumtenens lifestyle," offering an opportunity to practice pure medicine, flexibility and a relief from medical malpractice insurance and other administrative headaches.

NON-EXECUTIVES

Will there be a shortage of non-executive temporary workers? Many people will need to work — and will. But talk to a roomful of baby boomers and you'll find that many just can't wait to leave the workforce.

Papi says that his company turns to other staffing firms to fill these critical slots. Conrad Taylor, president of the National Association of Personnel

Hey, Detroiters! I don't know about you, but I'm going through major, major hockey withdrawal right now. I'll give you a little taste of it later in this column, but suffice it to say, I got a bit of a fix with the great new Wings DVD that went on sale last week. More on that later.

Just when you thought a minivan couldn't get better, enter the 2005 Dodge Caravan SXT.

You all know that I just hate minivans for the most part. They're basically mom-mobiles. Although I am a mom, I just could never be part of the minivan crowd. Give me my sport ute any day. I'm happier behind a big truck

And it fits my family's needs just fine, thank you very much. Without the minivan look

But now. comes a contender in the market. Something that I have to encourage everyone who still wants to drive a mom-mobile and needs a lot of versatility — much like what you get with a sport utility vehi-cle.

This Caravan SXT still looks a lot like a minivan, but you've got a lit-tle bit of leeway here. There are sportier curves and lines, alot less of a boxy look and versatility that just isn't there with the others in the minivan crowd.

A first in the marketplace, this Dodge has something called a Stow-N-Go feature. What that means is that you can fold down the second-and third-row seats right into the floor. No tugging to get it down, either.

The wonderful thing about it — and a few sport utes are equipped with it, is the fact that you don't have to yank those seats out of the vehicle and take up precious room in your already cramped garage to store them. Just a simple pull here and there and they disappear, gone, vamoose, bye-bye. And you don't even have to use both hands — so if you broke one, you can still do it by your lonesome.

The cool thing about it is how fast it can be done. I didn't time myself (didn't want to feel inept if I failed), but Dodge says you can go from seven seats to two in just 30 seconds. Yeah — it's about that fast.

With the seats gone, you'll realize another 12 cubic feet of cargo area to haul all your worldly belongings in the second- and third-row stor-age bins.

Now here's something to think about when you have absolutely nothing better to do. Dodge says there can be up to 256 seating con-figurations with this minivan. Talk about versatile, huh?

And, by the way, I'm all alone in my assumption that minivans have been, a fad. Uh-uh. Chrysler and Dodge have sold more than 10 mil-lion in 20 years and right now one in 15 new vehicles purchased is a minivan.

The interior of the Caravan SXT is wisely laid out and specifically tuned toward the driver. When you want to touch a button, watch a gauge or adjust the heating and cooling, it's more than easy to accom-

2005 Dodge Caravan SXT. Vehicle class: Minivan. Power: 3.8 l i ter V-6 engine. Mileage: 18 mpg city/25 mpg highway. Where built: Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Price as tested: $30,925

plish without taking your eyes off the road. Seating surfaces are just superb and comfy-'

The interior has a bit more edge to it, rather than soft feminine lines we're used to. Looks a little aggressive in the front and the styling is very fresh and inviting. This may be the best minivan Chrysler and Dodge has had to offer since the very first ones came off the line two decades ago. (Wow, has it really been that long???)

And with the DVD option in the rear seating positions, you'll really make your kids happy. I know I did.

You see, our family is really big on hockey. So bad were the with-drawal symptoms earlier last week that we picked ourselves up and drove to the Fraser ice arena to watch the Motor City Mechanics play the Port Huron Beacons. I learned that UHL hockey is great hockey, by the way.

They're just not the Red Wings. Nobody is! But the following day, I got my Red Wings fix. And got more than I

even bargained for. Not only did I get the chance to see the highlights of the highlight film of the 4-disc DVD on the history of the Wings (only one disc is from the olden days; most of it is of present day hockey, the cups we won and present day players), but I also got to do an interview with the one and only Mickey Redmond, a telecaster today and 50-goal scorer from yesterday.

He was at Hockeytown Cafe Monday night to promote'the DVD set and I got to spend almost two hours with him on the phone Monday afternoon. Some of the stuff on the DVDs includes older history from the 1950s, five of the greatest Red Wing games of all time and the three runs for the Stanley Cup.

There's almost 20 hours of entertainment on these new "Celebration of Champions" DVDs. I have seen three hours of it so far and every inch of film are not only first-rate but also absolutely perfectly execut-ed. From the 1996 fight between "Clod" Claude Lemieux and our Darren McCarty to the tasteful explanation of Vladdy's terrible acci-dent on Woodward after the cup was ours in 1997, the DVDs are the best work I've seen on any Wings chronology yet.

I asked Mickey if he was going through hockey withdrawal like I was and he said he was.

"Absolutely," he said. "But there isn't anything I can do to alleviate or replace hockey right now, and I'm handling it better this time around. In 1994-95,1 lived and died hockey every day they were out and it didn't do any good then. I'm looking at it as the glass half-full. I think

they'll settle and get back to hockey by January." Mickey told me that although he played for the Montreal Canadieris

and won two cups with the Habs, he's always thought of himself as |T Red Wing and will continue to do so.

"I'm a Red Wing, absolutely, because I spend the better part of my.; " career here - 1 played for the team 6 - years," he said. "But as great as it was to play in two places, with two storied franchises as Montreal^ and Detroit, I call here my home. I've lived here 31 years now.

"I truly love the emotion and passion the game brings out in people, especially the fans in Detroit, and in my business, this is as good as i t gets. I've got the best job in the world."

Mickey said he spent most of last weekend reviewing the DVD set r watching more than 15 hours of footage. *

T h e interesting thing about looking at the video is how it refreshes the memories and it's amazing to watch (and live it over again),* he said. "To see the emotion of the people, of the fans, burying their face in their hands at some moments, it's just unbelievable to go back to it."

The DVD set, distributed by Warner Home Video, is available right now at Borders, Barnes and Noble and Hockeytown Authentics. The cost for "Detroit Red Wings: A Celebration of Champions," is $49.98. It is part of the new "Original Six Series" of DVDs coming out, author-ized by NHL Productions. For a r ed Red Wing fan, it's a small price to pay for 20 hours of hockey at a time when we need it most.

And as for the Dodge Caravan, I think you should really take a hard look at this one if you're in the market for a minivan. It's a great offer-ing in a tight market. Value for the dollar is there, too, including being

f somewhat of a gas miser. Head on out and take a look.

And if you need your hockey fix, make sure and get a Caravan with one of those built-in TVs so you can watch this new Wings DVD. Write Anne Fracassa at avantil054@aol.com. "Detroit Red Wings: A Celebration of Champions" Highlights from the new DVD available right now at Borders, Barnes and Noble and Hockeytown Authentics include

1996, Detroit vs. St. Louis: Captain Steve Yzerman scores winning goal in game seven.

1997, Detroit vs. Colorado: Wings comeback against Colorado (March 26). This was the Red Wings' defining regular season game in their championship season.

1997, Detroit vs. Philadelphia: Stanley Cup-winning game, game four vs. Philadelphia.

2002, Detroit vs. Colorado: Destruction of Patrick Roy and the Avalanche in Game seven of the Western Conference Finals. 2002, Detroit vs. Carolina: Game three overtime epic.
