Chamber ready for annual business expo BY JACK GLADDEN STAFF WRITER -—'The Canton Chamber of Commerce and the township's municipal services depart- ment are gearing up for the sixth Business Expo on Sept. 15. The biannual event will feature about 50 local businesses and will be held at Summit on the Park from 5-7:30 p.m. "It's for community awareness and it also gives Canton businesses a chance to pro- mote themselves," said Cheryl Gniewek, chamber events coordinator. "It's a really good networking opportunity, too." Chamber Executive Director Dianne Cojei said the event has drawn good atten- dance in the past. "It's all Canton area businesses," she said. "It gives people a chance to see what busi- nesses have to offer in Canton. We have everything from building companies to massage people, from investment people to scrapbook companies." As of Friday, Cojei said, 34 businesses have signed up for the Expo. In its third year, the Expo is held each February and September. Gniewek said businesses have used the Expo as a chance to display and demonstrate services as well as provide information to the public. "Some also sell a limited number of items," she said. Among businesses already signed up for the event are the LaJoy Group, Skatin' Station, Home Travel Consulting, Creative Memories and Edward Jones Investments. "We will sell booth space until it's all gone," Gniewek said. For more information or to rent booth space, call (734) 453-4040. [email protected] (734)459-2700 Push on for school BY TONY BRUSCATO . STAFF WRITER The push to get voter approval for $138 million in funding for Plymouth-Canton Schools began in , earnest this week. Nearly two dozen members of the Citizens Election Committee began a whirlwind, month-long push to get "yes" votes for the two proposals that will be pre- sented to district residents Sept. 28. The ballot will have two questions. One calls for the approval of an 18-mill renewal on non-homestead ; property for the next 10 years, which is worth $29 million to the district. The other asks voters to pass a $109 million bond issue; $94 million will be used for upgrades in build- ings constructed before 2000, with the remaining $15 million to build a new elementary school in southwest Canton. Committee co-chair KaryAmin of Plymouth Township says spreading the message, on the impor- tance of the two proposals will be the group's biggest challenge. "Showing how important it is to upgrade the schools, as many of them are getting very old," said Amin, whose three children attend Isbister Elementary. "Many surrounding school districts con- tinue to upgrade and maintain, whether it's integrat- ed technology or infrastructure, so it's important that we keep pace." The advocacy committee spent two hours Monday discussing how to persuade voters. Ideas included lawn signs, presentations at PTO and booster club meetings, phone banks before and during the vote, and letters to the editor. "I don't think it will be that tough a sell," said co- chair Mary Eggenberger of Canton Township. "Residents in the Plymouth-Canton community are very supportive of their schools. And, I think they realize schools need improvements, just like you fix up your house. "If you're looking at the money, and it will only cost $47 a year, hopefully they'll be thinking it's worth it to keep up property values," added Eggenberger, who has three children in all three grade levels. According to Patricia Brand, the district's executive director of business services, the millage renewal won't cost most homeowners any money, only those with second homes and businesses. The cost of the bond proposal will be $47 a year for those who own a home, valued at $245,000. One of the committee members is 78-year-old George Dodson, long-time Plymouth-Canton Schools educator for whom Dodson Elementary is named. Dodson said it's a mistake to believe senior citizens will automatically vote down a proposal that includes a tax increase. "They have grandchildren, and this is an opportu- nity to give something to them and the kids that play in their neighborhoods," said Dodson. "I think they'll respond to that and come through for us." The Plymouth-Canton Education Association and the Michigan Education Association are always a force in the district's school board elections. PCEA. President Chuck Portelli said the groups haven't taken a stand on the propositions, but Portelli, who is a member of the committee, said he'll encourage members to vote in favor of the two Sept. 28 propos- als. "We have too many teachers teaching in rooms that shouldn't be taught in, some in art rooms and storage areas which aren't conducive for teaching," Portelli said. "The renovations to the buildings are impor- tant." The Citizens Election Committee, which is regis- tered with the state, will be holding fund-raisers to pay for the group's effort. Ryan said the committee had $3,600 left over from the previous bond issue. The district's elections clerk, Elizabeth Adams, said residents have until Aug. 30 to register to vote in tke election.

Hunt turns up buried 'treasure'
March of Dimes volunteer Todd Bates (left) helped serve bikers like James Lyons a snack at the end of the ride. Both men are from Garden City.
Area bikers help March of Dimes
BY DOUG JOHNSON STAFF WRITER
Several hundred bikers, including more than 150 from Motor City HOG Chapter in Farmington Hills, helped raise money for the March of Dimes during a recent a ride to Frankenmuth.
Among the riders were Mike and Karla SheltQn of Livonia who made their way from Motor City Harley-Davidson on Grand River in Farmington Hills up Dixie Highway to M-15 and then along state route 54/83 into-Frankenmuth. ~
'You get a charity - any char-ity - and the bikers are there. They are a great group of peo-ple. We love to ride, to ride as a group. Helping someone is a bonus," Mike Shelton said.
Following the ride about 20 March of Dimes staffers and volunteers served a picnic lunch at a park near the River Place shopping area. Temporary tattoos and live music were also provided for the bikers.
T o d d Bates, a March of D i m e s vo lun tee r , helped serve
the food. He and his wife, t h £ M lolly, live in Garden City and are members of the Christian Motorcyclists Association chapter in Ann Arbor. CMA nationally has more than 100,000 biker members.
"We are called "The Forgiven Warriors' and I like doing things like helping the March of Dimes," Bates said.
According to event coordina-tor Kim Streich of Canton, the event has been growing slowly but surely since its inception three years ago.
"We are very pleased that we decided to end our ride in Frankenmuth. The number of bikes almost doubled over last year and the participants were so enthusiastic that we know the event will continue to grow," Streich said.
According to Streich the charity raised more than $15,000 and more than 320 bikers and passengers took part.
The bikers pay a fee to ride and also get sponsorships; March of Dimes also sold T-shirts and 50/50 raffle tickets to raise additional funds.
Boys find time capsule Park yard
Contents of the glass jar time capsule inciuded a letter, a newspaper, coins, a pencil and a nail.
BY JACK GLADDEN STAFF WRITER
What Joshua Cullen, 12, and Alex Rasmussen, 11, were try-ing to do was build a raccoon trap.
There is a cottonwood tree on the property just behind Joshua's house in the Holiday Park sub-division and, in addition to squir-rels, the tree is home to a raccoon family.
So Josh, son of Greg and Lauri Cullen, and Alex, son of Lisa and Matt Rasmussen, started digging a hole behind the Cullen's garage just a few feet from the tree.
"We were going to put tuna in the hole, then cover it with duct tape and leaves," Josh said.
But as they dug, they hit something solid.
"I thought it was an old beer can," Alex said. "I didn't know it would be anything special."
Like a couple of young archeologists carefully remov-ing dirt from an excavation site, they uncovered the object - a one-pint Mason jar with a plastic storage bag inside con-taining various objects.
Excited now, they brought the jar inside Josh's house, where Lauri and Lisa were having tea.
The metal lid on the jar was rusted almost through, but Lauri managed to get it off. She pulled out the storage bag and opened it
"Oooh! It had such a strong musty smell," she said.
Inside the bag was a treas-ure.
"I thought I was going to be rich," Josh said.
But it wasn't that kind of treasure. The bag contained a front page of The Detroit News dated Sept. 18,1986, a crayon, a golf tee, a pencil, a nail, a screw, a nickel and three pen-nies - and a note written on ruled paper.
"This is 1986," the note read. "I have gave you a newspaper,
tools, coloring crayon, money, golf tee and pencil. I am 10 years of age. Do the same thing for sience (sic)."
"It's a time
capsule," Lauri said. Unfortunately the note was-
n't signed. There was no indi-cation of buried it in the back-yard 18 years ago.
Township records show only that the registered owner of the house in 1986 was Ray Jarvis. But that's about it.
However, a call to the only Ray Jarvis listed in Canton today turned up a clue.
Ray's wife, Linda, said yes, they lived in the house in 1986. And their son, Jason, was born in 1976 so he would have been about 10 at the time.
But she didn't know any-thing about a time capsule.
Jason, who's 28 now, is a Navy pilot stationed in Jacksonville, Fla.
So a call to Jason turned up more information.
"I don't remember burying a time capsule," he said. "All I remember is we used to dig stuff up in that yard and do it all day long. We'd bury the hamsters there. I remember doing that kind of stuff."
While Jason said he had no

specific recollection of burying the Mason jar with the note, he added, "I'm sure it'was me. I remember burying things back there all the time."
He's going to be back home over the Labor Day weekend and said if he can arrange the time he like to visit the Cullens and take a look at the boys' dis-covery.
"I'd love to see it," he said. The two Central Middle
School students said they're going to keep their discovery.
' "Maybe we'll keep it for a good luck charm," Josh said.
"It's a trophy," said Alex. Are they going to follow the
letter writer's request and bury one themselves "for sience"?
They said yes they are. But what will they put in it?
Josh suggested trading cards and fishing lures. Alex said "pennies and stuff" and maybe some Chuck E. Cheese tokens.
After finding the jar Josh and Alex kept digging the hole deeper, hoping to find more treasure or at least continue with their raccoon trap.
They didn't find any more treasure and the only thing they caught in the trap was Josh's brother, Jason, age 4.
"He fell in," Josh said.

BY DOUG JOHNSON STAFF WRITER •
A Canton man was among those who helped transform an Oak Park home for a autistic blind child and his deaf par-ents for the television program Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (ABC-TV).
Rich Wiersma works for Guardian Alarm of Southfield and it's his company that put in all the assisted living safety items that had everyone so in awe.
Wiersma was the prime technician who installed an integrated security system at the home of Larry and Judy Vardon in Oak Park. Guardian Alarm donated the system to help the Vardons protect their 12-year old son, Lance. Lance's activities need to be monitored closely so he doesn't leave the house unattended.
The show coming to the Vardon's home was the result of an essay from their other son, Stefan, 14.
"After it was over I walked into my boss and said 'Thank you for that experience.' I felt like I had been part of some-thing. It was an excellent expe-rience. Almost everything was donated. That is part of the thrill of it," Wiersma said.
This past Wednesday Wiersma was back in Oak Park showing the Vardons how to work the cameras and strobe lights that help them keep track of Lance. Wiersma fig-ures he worked a 56-hour week during the makeover. He had to do some regular jobs for the company that week, too.
The security package -includes window and door sen-sors, smoke detectors, four indoor security cameras and two outside "night" cameras sensitive to infrared light. Larry and Judy will be able to call up the camera images on any of a number of monitors located around the house. Strobe alarms will alert them if a door or window is opened when the system is activated, and easy-to-use controls will let them quickly see what's happening. The system even warns if the trouble is a fire by using red lights.
If Lance wanders away and a window or a door opens, the strobe lights go off and the
« ! * u ;HH l i f t !
The front of the Extreme Makeover house on the last day of filming shows all the hard work.
' Rich Wiersma hams it up a bit for the camera. The Canton man has worked for Guardian Alarm for eight years and installed the high tech security system for the Extreme Makeover house.
Vardons bed shakes enough to wake them up to go get their son, Wiersma explained.
Wiersma guesses the equip-ment donated is worth close to $10,000.
There were surreal moments as various trades stumbled Over each other to rebuild the small home from the founda-tion up in six days.
At one point its was the mid-dle of the night - 4 a.m. - and Wiersma looked out and there was a man sitting in his lawn chair watching them build the house. During the day hun-dreds of people lined up
behind barricades to see the show's stars and the workers do their stuff.
"A heating and cooling guy ran through our wires and I had to do some of them again," Weirsma said. Usually more than 150 workers swarmed the site at any one time, Wiersma said.
"We really had a challenge to design a system to work for the Vardons' unique circumstances and disabilities," said Matt Fraiberg, assistant general m.anager of Guardian Alarm. "However, we were able to combine off-the-shelf hard-
ware usually used in commer-cial buildings with equipment normally installed in homes and integrated it into one, easy-to-operate system."
"Before our work, it might have been five or ten minutes or maybe an hour before the Vardons would realize that Lance had walked out of the house," said Fraiberg. "Now they'll have the comfort of knowing they'll be alerted within seconds and can respond appropriately.
The ABC reality show did 12 episodes last year that aired on Sunday nights and they were a ratings surprise, partly because of the popularity of host Ty Pennington.
Projects included enlarging the home of a couple expecting triplets, rebuilding a house for eight children who had just lost their parents, giving a facelift to an entire community whose homes were flooded during a hailstorm, and remodeling the living space of a wheelchair-bound young man by making it more acces-sible - which included the installation of an elevator.
Wiersma, who has lived in Canton with his family for 14 years, is not sure he'll actually be on the TV show when the Oak Park episode airs this fall, most likely in November.

New leaders arrive at Salvation Army 2 businesses fail in alcohol sting BY BRAD KADRICH , STAFF W R I T E R
For Majs. Bill and Kathy Hogg, home isn't necessarily where the heart is, it's where the Salvation Army uniform hangs.
For the Hoggs, the uniform now hangs in Plymouth.
The Hoggs took over earlier this month from Maj. Steve and Jacqueline Hull, who left the Salvation Army to pursue other interests. The Hoggs arrived, freshly plucked from duty in Adrian, eager to get started on their new assign-ment.
"We're excited to be here," Kathy Hogg said. "We hear so many good things about the community, and about the Salvation Army here."
The Hoggs leave a post they'd manned for five years. It's a smaller operation, and some of the people they're leav-ing behind are like family.
But the couple figures Plymouth will work out the same way.
"When we move to a com-munity, it becomes ours," said Bill Hogg, like his wife a 15-year Salvation Army officer. "It becomes part of our extended family. You'll see us at events all over the community."
It's something they've been doing for a long time. Bill Hogg was actually born into the Salvation Army, to parents who had served as Army offi-cers. In fact, Bill represents the fourth generation of his family to serve in the Salvation Army, and the second generation of officers.
The couple met while doing a musical called The Witness in Grand Rapids, Kathy's home-town. Born in Minnesota, Bill has lived all over the place; he met Kathy while living in Grand Rapids.
The Hoggs, who have three children — Katie (Jason) Distelrath, who produced the couple's only grandchild, 4-month-old Lily; 20-year-old Kristy, a senior at Siena Heights; and 12-year-old Kelly — will celebrate their 25th anniversary in March.
The last 15 of those have been spent as Salvation Army officers, and neither would

Maj. Kathy Hogg and Maj. Bill Hogg have assumed command of the Plymouth Salvation Army, moving from Adrian to their new post, which services Plymouth, Canton, Northvilfe and Belleville.
have it any other way. "The Salvation Army is the
greatest organization in the world," Kathy Hogg said. "It has the ability to help people and share the gospel message. Look at what we've accom-plished. The Salvation Army has a very rich history."
According to the Hoggs, the Salvation Army only added to that history in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The Army set up a big, white tent and fed people 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Hoggs, who initially went to New York sporting a banner that had been signed by members of the Adrian community in which they served, begged district officials for a chance to go back.
"We told (district headquar-ters) if there's an opportunity to go back, I want it," Bill Hogg said. "He called back with dates and said, 'Pick one.'"
Thousands of volunteers manned the tent and did the work, from all over the coun-try. There were adults and kids on, break from college and all manner of others, all of whom were doing it for their own var-ied reasons.
And all making an impres-sion on the Hoggs.
"It was the most awesome experience," Kathy Hogg said. "I hope we never have another one, but if we do, I'd be hon-ored to be able to serve."
Kathy Hogg likened it to sen-ice performed by Salvation
Army volunteers during war-time.
"Technically, 9/11 was our World War II, where we got to do what the Army did for ser-vicemen," she said. "Twenty years from now, instead of say-ing, 'My uncle was in World War II,' they're going to be say-ing, 'My uncle was a police offi-cer or a firefighter on 9/11."'
Closer to home, the Hoggs know the impact the Salvation Army can have on a local com-munity. Their new post serves the needy in Plymouth, Canton, Northville and Belleville, a "significantly big-ger" operation, according to Bill Hogg.
The local corps has all the missions — help the needy, the annual holiday basket pro-grams, the Christmas Red Kettle campaign, along with children's programs.
Though it's "too early to know" about how program-ming might change, the new commanders know whatever happens, they'll continue to stress the Salvation Army's Christian methods.
"The Salvation Army is a Christian-based organization, and we're very proud of that," Kathy Hogg said.
"Everything we do will be tied into that. It's an awe-some responsibility given by God, and we take that serious-ly"

Five-year-old Julia Scanneil of Plymouth Township carefully climbed off Viola, a 10,600-pound Asian elephant, with a big smile on her face.
"It felt like a big cloud," said Julia of rid-ing the 33-year-old pachyderm, who has been with the Kelly Miller Circus most of her life. "She was nice and quiet."
Joshua England,-5, of Canton said it was a bit scary at first.
"I liked trying to pet her, but I thought she was going to take her trunk and swing me," he said.
By all accounts, the two performances of the circus at Central Middle School, spon-sored Wednesday by the Plymouth Lions Club, was a success.
"I was overwhelmed," said Ross Taksony of Plymouth, this year's chairman of the event for the Lions Club. "I was standing at the gate when people were leaving and I saw how happy they were. That's what makes it worthwhile, smiles on their faces and the excitement of the kids."
Taksony said attendance at the two shows was about 1,700 people, which could net the Lions Club approximately $5,000. "That's very good," said Taksony of the take for the day, which will be used to fund various programs and activities. "In fact, the circus people told me it was excel-lent, considering their average show is about a third of that. They were impressed with how many tickets were sold.
"We had business owners who bought tickets for about 100 children sponsored by the Salvation

Army, First Step and other groups, who couldn't afford to attend the circus," Taksony said. Taksony noted the money will eventually be used to fund scholar-ships, visual aids for the elderly, and sup-porting programs like Leader Dogs for the Blind and the Penrickton Center in Taylor, which houses children who are blind and have other disabilities.

Crusaders logo added to gym Visitors to athletic events
at Madonna University's gymnasium this year might call attention to the floor. It now displays the school's official Crusaders logo.
Though the university has had a logo for a few years, according to athletic director Brian Rizzo, this is the first opportunity the department has had to have it painted onto the gym floor. Varsity Flooring of Shelby Township handled the work.
"It's really amazing," said Rizzo, adding that he thinks the public will be impressed. He estimated the size of the logo at 8 feet
wide, and said it more than fills the center circle of the court.
Pete Agnello, president of Varsity Flooring, said the job was completed in record time - about two weeks. Matt Pitters of Mount Clemens painted the logo, and did so free hand.
"I like to think that it gives the customer flexibili-ty to make last-minute changes," said Agnello.
Rather than using a graph, the free format allows the artist to delete or add features at the request of the client - in this case Madonna University.
"It's somewhat unique,"
Agnello said. Varsity Flooring com-
pletes work for everything from church recreation centers to schools and uni-versities. But Agnello said sports flooring is the com-pany's specialty.
"I think it's certainly a source of pride for the school," he said.
Rizzo agreed. He said the logo is a
"spirit builder." The public is welcome
to view the logo 7 p.m. -Friday, Aug. 20, during the Madonna University Alumni Volleyball game.

Couple plays 'chicken' with wedding reception BY TONY 8RUSCAT0
S T A F F W R I T E R
When Jim Liller of Plymouth and Cheri Fair of Wixom decided to tie the knot on Sunday, Sept. 12, a problem immediately became apparent for the groom-to-be.
"It's the Sunday of Fall Festival, and I really enjoy the Rotary Club's barbecue chick-en," said Liller, who has lived in Plymouth for 25 years. "It's the best chicken on earth. Fantastic."
This year, like it has for the past 48, the Rotary Club of Plymouth will hold its largest fund-raiser on the last day of the festival, barbecuing, boxing and serving upwards of 11,500 chicken dinners in Kellogg Park.
So, when Fair, 52, and Liller, 57, decided to get married dur-ing this year's three-day event, Liller voiced distress at missing the chicken barbecue, which he looks forward to every year.
"My fiance told me he just couldn't miss the chicken din-ner because he loves them so much," said Fair.
"So, I said to him, jokingly, 'Why not get married on Sunday and have the chicken dinner for the reception."'
Fair didn't have to do much convincing to get Liller to
accept the idea. "When she suggested that we
do that - in jest, of course - I took her up on it," said Liller.
After some discussion, the couple decided the wedding, the second for both, would be a less formal affair.
"The more we talked about it, the more we thought it was a cool idea," admitted Fair.
"So, we decided to have a picnic theme, with the wedding in Cannon Park, and have people come casually dressed and enjoy themselves."
And, after the wedding, the future bride and groom will have the Rotary Club's chicken barbecue box lunches delivered to the Plymouth Cultural Center for each of the 125 guests.
Fair and Liller have known each other for four years. Attending the Plymouth Fall Festival and enjoying the bar-becue chicken has become a tradition for them.
"Last year, one of the girls I work with got married during the Fall Festival," said Fair.
"We went to the wedding, then to the Fall Festival to get the chicken dinners, and afterwards went to the recep-tion."
"We may not make it to the festival on Sunday, but we'll at

Howard Oldford, a member of the Rotary Club's barbecue committee, said when the cou-ple asked to have the dinners delivered, the club didn't hesi-tate.
"We're very happy to accom-modate them and do every-thing we can to make it a pleasant day for them," he said.
"We'll serve it in the box, just like we do for everyone else."

development just west of Lilley," she said.
That's the site of the old HQ, building and Mans hardware and lumber store is already being developed, with a PETsMART store already open and Pier 1 and Michaels crafts ready to open soon. Marshal's department store will occupy one portion of the building and U.S. Storage will occupy another.
Also planned are a Bombay Company and a Panera Bread, which will occupy a free-stand-ing building on the site.
Salla said she thinks those developments will be helpful to the two perpendicular strip malls on either end of the site, -which include Kramer Flooring, the Shark Club and other smaller businesses.
"I'm sure they are interested in this new development so they get more exposure," she said.
But a hidden part of the development is the construc-tion - or opening up - of inte-rior access corridors within the centers that will allow traffic to move from cross street to cross street without having to exit onto Ford Road.
"You can literally drive from

Haggerty to Lilley without get-ting onto Ford," she said.
Entering the old Super Kmart site off Lilley, drivers can negotiate all the way to the Shark Club, then go north and west and exit onto Lilley.
A similar interior access drive allows drivers to enter the Kohl's site off Sheldon, go into the Murray's Auto/Secretary of State area to the west, around the Super Bowl and exit onto Canton Center. ,
And once the Lowe's site is developed on the north side of Ford between Morton Taylor and Sheldon, drivers will be able to enter the site from . Morton Taylor and exit onto
S h e l d o n R o a d . "A part of the Ford Road
traffic study is trying to pro-vide interior access between the sites," Salla said. "We're in the process of getting out a request for proposals for a design consultant to help us with a comprehensive sign program. "Way finding" signs are a part of that."
Those signs, within the cen-ters themselves, would direct drivers to the appropriate inte-rior access drives to avoid exit-ing onto Ford Road.
"The access management study will certainly encourage that," she said.

Salla reminds drivers and cus-tomers that they can exit White Castle by going south toward the hotel, then turning right on the interior drive to Haggerty. Turning right on Haggerty they can pull into the left turn lane to go west on
Ford Road. And she pointed out that
there is access off Haggerty just north of the service station to the Bob Evans and Tim

the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund.
The Komen Foundation and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund esti-mate that this series of charity-driven events will realize an estimated $20 million (net) through 2004 alone to fund critical breast cancer research 1
and programs. These funds will positively
affect the lives of individuals and their families who face
breast cancer today, and in the future.
That appeals to women like West, a Canton resident.
"My first thought was to raise the money," she said dur-ing a pit stop at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Superior Township.
"Once I had that, I started training."
Walkers started the day at Eastern Michigan University and made their way on Day One through Plymouth, stop-ping at Trinity along the way. They made camp Friday night at West Sheldon Park in Livonia.
By the time they made it to Plymouth, they were braving rain and wind that made the walking tougher. But they remained undaunted.
Like Canton's West, Krista Mosley of Windsor watched her mother survive breast can-cer. At the end of the first 15.3 miles, Mosley remained upbeat.
"It's not easy, but it's been good," she said.
"I wanted to do something to contribute to finding a cure."

Marie Weigold, a Democrat Elector in 2000, sit outside her home in Farmington Hills.
The electors choose the president BY KHRISTOPHER J. BROOKS
STAFF WRITER
Farmington Hills resident and former middle school teacher Marie Weigold gave Democrat A1 Gore the state of Michigan's vote for president in 2000.
She taught science class at Ivan Ludington Magnet Middle School and was one of 18 people who went to Lansing to cast presidential ballots for Michigan as an elector.
"I think the actual program was like 45 minutes," she said.
A slate of electors is chosen depending on which presiden-tial candidate wins Michigan's popular vote.
Gore won the state in 2000, so the electors "were all tried and true Democrats coming up there," Weigold said.
Each congressional district has one elector nominated by the congressman or woman. They are picked at a political party's state convention. If a party's candidate wins the pop-ular vote, their electors go to Lansing.
Weigold represented the 11th congressional district. She said her 30 years of being politically active gave her a spot as an elector.
"I thought they (the party) did a very nice job. There was a luncheon before the proceed-ings," Weigold said. "We met in the chamber of the Michigan State Senate."
ELECTION MEMORIES
During the 2000 presiden-tial race, the group met Dec. 18, a day Kenneth Oke said was treacherous.
"It was horrible. It was a blizzard that day and cars were all flipped over," said Oke, an Alpena resident. "Just getting there is the thing that is etched in my mind, the lanes we were driving in weren't all the way plowed."
A retired sheet metal worker,
'Entire books have been written on whether electing a president by using the electoral college should be continued or whether it should be by popular vote, as is the case with all other elected officials at every level (of government).' Bill Ballenger Inside Michigan Politics editor
Oke said he's been going to Democratic state conventions since he was 18. He remembers the atmosphere of the Senate chamber.
"We had all the electors from the different districts there, we had the lieutenant governor there, the head of the House (of Representatives), and they all gave a speech," he said.
The group's first duty was to nominate the Democratic can-didates.
"Actually, I was asked to nominate Lieberman," Weigold said.
After the nomination, the electors had a vote which unanimously awarded Gore and Joseph Lieberman all of Michigan's electoral votes.
Most states give a winning candidate all the electoral votes with the exception of two.
"I believe Maine and Nebraska give their electoral votes to whoever wins individ-ual congressional districts within the state," said Inside Michigan Politics editor Bill Ballenger.
After all states have counted their votes, they are sent to the nation's capitol.
"The electoral votes are then added up in Washington, D.C.,
and presented to Congress and the winner is determined," Ballenger said.
Out of a total 538 electoral votes, 270 are needed to win.
KERRY WIN?
If Democratic candidate John Kerry wins Michigan's popular vote in November, another set of Democrats will head to Lansing. The Democratic Party will be choosing its electors Aug. 28 and 29 in Detroit.
If President George W. Bush wins, Republicans will cast the official ballots. The GOP will choose its electors Aug. 27 in Plymouth.
In the 2000 election, Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the electoral college vote. The vote was controversial because of voting problems in Florida that were resolved in the U.S. Supreme Court.
"Entire books have been written on whether electing a president by using the electoral college should be continued or whether it should be b y popu-lar vote, as is the case with all o t h e r e l e c t e d o f f i c i a l s a t e v e r y
level (of government)," Ballenger said.
If neither candidate can obtain a majority of electoral votes, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote for the president. Each state is given one vote decided by a majority of the state's House delegation. They are not required to vote for the candi-date with the largest popular vote and would probably vote along party lines.
"To change the present sys-tem would require a constitu-tional amendment, which... requires a laborious time-con-suming process that would require many months, if not years - and it might not hap-pen even then," Ballenger said.

Most Americans don't bother to cast a vote
BY MATT SCH0CH STAFF WRITER
Most Americans know by now that less than half of U.S. voters — 47.9 percent — sup-ported George W. Bush in 2000.
Even more staggering, how-ever, is the Federal Election Commission's estimate that only 67.5 percent of registered voters voted in that election and that 24 percent of eligible voters were even registered at all.
All told, less than one out of every four eligible American voters elected the commander-in-chief. As engaging world events like the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and the war in Iraq have reminded citizens of the importance of voting, startling numbers still exist.
In Oakland County, only 20 percent of registered voters turned out for primary elec-tions Aug. 3.
However, the highly-publi-cized nature of November's races will draw voters like
the White House
Susie Feldman of West Bloomfield that did not vote in the primaries.
"I wasn't as educated in the primaries and I don't feel like I should be the one to decide the election," she said. "There's just so many issues (in November)."
Younger voters also feel dis-connected to the candidates because they cannot relate to them, causing them to often not show up to the polls.
"If I had my way, there wotild be a least 12 more par-ties," said Rocky Rhodes, 21, of Ypsilanti, an independent who votes in every major election. "The majority of the people that I meet say they don't care."
Rhodes also said he doesn't
Towns' voting methods differ- but not for long
BY KHRISTOPHER J. BROOKS STAFF WRITER &
Having to recount the ballots in Florida dur-ing the 2000 presidential race made election officials worry about the efficiency of voting machines.
Four years later, Michigan is focusing on vot-ing performance in the upcoming November election.
"I suppose that with the fiasco in Florida, that's what initiated this whole thing," said Plymouth Township Clerk Marilyn Massengill.
To make sure all votes get counted, Michigan is adopting a single voting method - optical scanning.
AH optical scan ballot has a column of candi-dates with an incomplete arrow or oval adjacent to their names. I'o vote, a resident will complete the arrow next to the name or, if the ballot has an oval, fill in the oval.
The ballot is placed in a folder to ensure secrecy, then it is fed to a tabulatdr, about the size of a desk, which records the vote.
Some municipalities still use different tech-niques. Southfield has computerized punch cards, which City Clerk Nancy L. M. Banks describes as "the same system to the optical scan except it uses a punch card instead of a piece of paper and you tabulate at the precinct just like the optical scan."

' No. 1 goal: Defend WLAA crown BY ED WRIGHT STAFF WRITER
Combine four returning starters, a tenacious defense and an offense that has the potential to be as efficient from outside the three-point line as it is from in the paint, and you get the 2004 edi-tion of the Salem girls basketball team.
"We're a veteran team with four starters back, and we have a lot of depth," said Salem coach Fred Thomann. "We have 10 players on the varsity roster, and they all bring something to the team. We have a lot of skill, some size, and very good athleticism."
The 15-7 Rocks were crowned champi-ons of the Western Lakes Activities Association last season after edging cross-campus rival Canton in the league title game. Canton gained some revenge the following week when it derailed Salem in the District final.
"Probably our number one goal is to
win the conference again," Thomann said. "As far as the state tournament goes, it would be nice to get out of the district this year and see what we can do in the regional."
The Rocks' balanced line-up will be led by senior Ellen Canale, who garnered All-WLAA recognition in 2003. The 5-9 sharp-shooter was one of the three most accurate three-point shooters in the state (42 percent) last year, according to Thomann.
"Ellen's perimeter skills are outstand-ing," Thomann said. "She also led our team in assists last year and is a good defensive player as well."
Senior Alyssa Guerin, a three-year starter, will team up with Canale to give the Rocks' a potent and experienced backcourt.
"Alyssa can not only shoot the three, but she's a good slasher who can take the ball to the basket off the dribble," Thomann said. "Alyssa and Ellen play
very well together." Kathryn Wheatley, a 5-7 senior, is the
team's best defender, Thomann said. "Kathryn is a good, solid all-around
player," Tliomann asserted. "She has a good jump shot and can take the ball to basket off the dribble."
The fourth returning starter isT5-ll sophomore Teresa Coppiellie, who meshed well with her older teammates as a freshman in 2003.
"Teresa logged a lot of minutes for a freshman last year," Thomann said. "She is a good rebounder, both on the offen-sive and defensive ends of the court. She has a chance to be a very good player."
Senior Becky Ward, a 5-9 swing play-er, didn't start last year, but provided the Rocks with solid play off the bench, Thomann said.
The Rocks' bench will be re-energized by five players who played key roles in last year's junior-varsity squad's 19-1 campaign.
Two 5-11 juniors - Carly Sommers and Lauren Price - and 5-11 sophomore Lauren Kurtz will spell the starting post players. Junior guards Brianne Clarin (5-2) and Keiyana Arnold (5-5) will allow Canale and Guerin to take well-deserved breathers.
The race for the WLAA title will be a hard-fought struggle with several teams in contention, in Thomann's estimation.
"The league should be very strong this year," Thomann said. "Canton will be very good and Northville has excellent speed and quickness. They won the title in soccer in the spring and a lot of the girls on that team play basketball.
"Walled Lake Northern and Livonia Stevenson will also be contenders."
Salem opens its season at perennial powerhouse West Bloomfield on Tuesday. It then travels to Ann Arbor Huron on Thursday to take on Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard. [email protected] j (734) 953-2108
Reloaded Canton looks
to build on 11-1 campaign
BY ED WRIGHT STAFF WRITER
The first sign that a high school football program has reached "elite" status is when it reloads every fall, not rebuilds.
The second sign is when the school's football trophy case needs to be expanded.
Welcome, Canton, to elite sta-tus.
With an offensive line that aver-ages 6 - f o o t - 2 , 2 2 8 p o u n d s , a n d a backfield that could double as a 400-meter relay team, the Chiefs are as big and fast as last year's 11-1 conference and district champi -onship team.
Whether Canton is talented enough to equal or surpass the 2003 team's accomplishments will be answered beginning Friday night at Ann Arbor Pioneer.
"I'm excited about this year's team," said coach Tim Baechler. "We're just as fast defensively as we were last year and probably a little quicker offensively. Potentially, this could be a very good team."
Graduated from last year's one-loss squad are key contributors Ray Eisbrenner r Eric O'Shaughnessy, DeyinThomas, Franz Gatzke, Matt Faye and Travis McKinney. <
Replacing, McKinney as the Chiefs' primary ball carrier will be senior Juliaii Smith (6-5,220), who earned £c*lsiderable playing ; time last year, :
"Julian doesn't run like a guy who is 6-5," Baechler said. "He's explosive and a very hard runner. He'll run the ball a lot for us this year."

The Canton boys golf team turned in a middle-of-the-pack performance Friday at the Saline Invitational, which was held at the par-73 Brookside Golf Course in Saline.
The Chiefs placed sixth in the 12-team event with a four-player total of339. The host Hornets won the tour-nament with a score o f300 .
"Overall, we didn't play par-ticularly well," said« Canton coach Tom Alles. "No one broke 80, which was a little disap-pointing. A couple new kids got a chance to play and they did OK."
Senior Dominic Gallo was the low-scorer for Canton,
firing a nine-over 82. Patrick Gallagher (83), Corey Bugeja (86) and Cameron Strabbing (88) also scored for the Chiefs.
Brandon Egglesfield's 89 just missed the varsity cut.

Plymouth girls basketball coach Rickelle Reilly is well aware of the obstacles her senior-less team will face in the upcom-ing months as it tackles its first full, varsity season.
She's aliso confident that the Wildcats are fully prepared for the challenging task at hand.
"The girls have worked hard and done what it takes to succeed the past two years," said Reilly, who has coached the current class of juniors since the school opened in d002. "How soon we are successful all depends on how quickly we grow as a team and

develop leaders. "Obviously, it's going to be a
quicker and more physical game this year compared to the first two years, but I think the girls will be u p for it."
What the Wildcats' eight-jun-ior, three-sophomore roster lacks in experience, it makes up for in size and speed.
"We'll be a solid, defense-ori-ented team," Reilly assured. "Our strength is definitely our post play."
Jeanine Moise, a 5-foot-10 post player, was an effective force inside last year for Plymouth,
which went 14-5 (9-0 against junior-varsity teams and 5-5 ver-sus varsity squads). Moise led the team in scoring (18 points a game) and rebounding (10.5).
"Jeanine is a very strong and gifted athlete," Reilly said. "She's very active inside and runs the court very well."
Moise and center Kim Olech will form a potent one-two punch inside for the Wildcats. Olech, a 6-0 junior, missed the entire 2003 season due to a knee injury, but she averaged 13.4 points and 7-7 rebounds a game as a fresh-man.

Banged-up Morrill ready to lead Madonna spikers
MONICA FOUTSI STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
BY BRAD EMONS STAFF WRITER
Tera Morrill's major is math, but maybe she should receive an honorary degree at Madonna University in nursing for all the injuries she's endured throughout her volley-ball career.
The 5-foot-10 outside-hitter from Livonia Franklin High, who earned first-team All-Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference honors on last year's 44-4 team, is going through her third rehabilita-tion stint since she arrived on the Madonna campus.
Morrill sat out her freshman season after tearing her anteri-or cruciate knee ligament dur-ing a spring 2000 AAU basket-bail tournament. Then, in December of2002, she under-went surgery to repair a tear in her labrum and bicep tendon.
Last March, Morrill had sur-gery once again with Dr. Terrace Lock, the same sur-geon who repaired her knee at Cottage Hospital in Grosse Pointe, to fix another tear to her labrum and rotator cuff.
"Some people go to work, I go to therapy two days a week," Morrill joked.
But during last December's NAIA Nationals in San Diego, the normally upbeat Morrill had reached her own personal threshold of pain.
"I had take a cortisone (shot) just to get through the Nationals," Morrill said. "Right before Nationals, I said to myself, 'I don't know if I'm going to do it anymore.'
"For a couple of weeks after I doubted I'd come back."
But Morrill's teammate, out-going senior defensive special-ist Amanda Suder, knew better.
"She said, Tou'll be back, you can't go out like this,' and she was right," Morrill said. "After we lost in the quarterfinals, I felt unfulfilled. I just couldn't end it there."
Morrill is back for her fifth and final season with the Crusaders, who are ranked No. 3 in the NAIA preseason national poll.
Last season, despite the painful shoulder, Morrill aver-aged 2.12 kills per game with a .394 kill percentage. She was only slightly behind Suder in digs with an average of 4.45 per game.
But this fall her rehab is moving more deliberately, learning some hard lessons fol-lowing her first surgery to her shoulder in December o f2002 .
"I felt good all last summer (2003), but I went too fast and too hard," she said. "I felt I could go out right away and hit 100 balls, but it went downhill
f rom there. It was just some- . thing I had to deal with."
MU, the defending WHAC champion, opens its season Tuesday at home against Notre Dame (Ohio) College, but Morrill will probably to rele-gated to a non-hitting role.
Morrill, who will graduate in May with a degree in second-ary education, finished four months of therapy in July and is targeting a return sometime next month.
"I'm just more cautious this ' time," said said. "It feels better than I can remember, but I haven't hit, served or blocked yet. I worked on my right hand a lot this summer. My defense has improved so much, serve-receive and passing, but it's not my favorite thing to do."
During an early practice, freshman newcomer Genevieve Kirby mistakenly thought Morrill played only the back row.
"She told me, You're too tall to be a defensive specialist," Morrill said.
When Morrill returns to lineup is up to longtime MU trainer Karen Sadowski, along with coach Jerry Abraham.
"It depends on the injury and the person," Sadowski said. "Maybe one or two out of 10 go on. And she's that one or two because she's so positive and she's got a lot of heart. She wants to continue on."
Sadowski has become accus-tomed to Morrill's frequent vis-its to the training room, but doesn't mind.
"At least she'll be what she was last year, but the expecta-tions are she'll do better than last year," the MU trainer said. "We've gone much slower this time and it's a huge difference. It's how you approach it and how you look at it. She knows a great deal about it and you've got to work through it.
Basically she does the same thing every day."
Abraham, meanwhile, mar-vels at Morrill's determination.
"Not too many players can go through what she's gone through and still have the opti-mism, the spirit and the pas-sion to not only come back, but to come back hard," he said. "She has a tenacious desire to complete her career on a high note. She's always kept herself in top shape and puts herself in position to get back as soon as possible."
Abraham also realizes how important it is to have Morrill in the lineup. He's done the . math.
"At her position we need her back because we don't' have a lot of experience on the right side," he said.

Schumacher (5-11,180) and junior halfback Andy Rossow (6-0,175). Schumacher churned out more than 1,000 yards as a junior last season.
"Chuck had a great year last year and he's stronger, faster and hungrier this year," Baechler said. "Andy has excel-lent speed and he runs hard."
Rodney Preston, a 5-10,155-pound senior, will provide the Chiefs with depth at the run-ning-back position.
Junior Shawn Little (6-1,175) returns as the team's quarter-back.
"Shawn has excellent speed and great arm strength," Baechler said. "He should be a big play-maker for us this sea-son."
When Little throws the ball, more often than not he'll be fir-ing spirals at senior tight ends Jake Powers (6-2, 230) and Brian Rider (6-2,185).
Canton's large interior line will be anchored by senior cen-ter Mitch Miller (5-8, 220). He'll be flanked by senior guards Matt D'Avanzo (6-0, 250) and Russ Bruner (6-2, 215).
Senior Eric Kilijanczyk (6-2, 255) will start at left tackle. As of Wednesday, senior Kevin Pruett (6-4, 220) and junior Fred Keena (6-2, 260) were still battling for the starting right-tackle slot.
Bolstering the defensive line will be senior tackles P.J. Caram (5-10, 205) and Brian Wagner (5-10, 245), and Rossow, who will play nose-guard.
"Andy is effective at the nose because he's strong, tough and quick," Baechler said.
First-year player Josh Perkovich (6-6, 320) will see plenty of time on the defensive line as well, Baechler said.

two inexperienced players. The veterans are Powers, a three-year starter, and senior Jeff Hudson (5-10,185), who will man the inside positions. The new players are outside backers Schumacher and junior Jeff Piper (6-3,190).
Smith will shift from his out-side linebacking spot of a year ago to free safety this year. Matt Sweda, a 5-11,170-pound junior, will play strong safety.
Senior Dave Neu (5-7,155) and Scott Steffes (5-10,175) will fill the cornerback positions for the Chiefs.
Eric McKey, a member of the Canton soccer team, will han-dle the place-kicking duties. Smith will punt for the Chiefs.
"We have a tough schedule, especially early on," Baechler said. "Pioneer is returning a lot of players, including their quar-terback and best running back, and Walled Lake Central (Canton's second opponent) should have a strong team, too.
"Our goals, like every year, will be to get into the playoffs and win the league champi-onship." e w r i g h t @ o e . h o m e c o m m . n e t | ( 7 3 4 ) 9 5 3 - 2 1 0 8

Bass-fishing regulations may be revamped by DNR
Outdoor insights
Bass fishing has been a hot topic in recent weeks, ever since the Department of
Natural Resources announced potential plans for revamping the bass fishing regulations.
Earlier this year, the DNR released a 53-page report detailing bass fishing regula-tions from other states across
the country, bass biology and other sci-entific bass literature. The report also includes seven poten-tial options for bass regu-lation changes here in Michigan.
Bass anglers, espe-cially the tournament crowd, have
for years been lobbying the DNR to liberalize bass fishing regulations in Michigan, which has some of the tightest restrictions in the country. Currently anglers in Michigan can fish for bass from the Saturday before Memorial Day through Dec. 31, except on Lake St. Clair and the Detroit and St. Clair Rivers, where the season runs the third Saturday in June through Dec. 31.
With walleye, pike and muskie season opening annu-ally on the last Saturday in April, anglers have been push-ing for a minimum of a catch-and-release season starting that same day. Anglers point to a pilot program the DNR initi-ated several years ago to study the affects of early-season catch-and-release fishing on spawning bass.
That study allows catch-and-release bass fishing only from April 1 through the Friday before Memorial Day on six inland lakes in the state including Cass, Kent and Pontiac lakes in Oakland County. The other three lakes are the Holloway Reservoir in Genesee County, Muskegon
The report also includes seven potential options for bass regulation changes here
in
Lake in Muskegon County and Hardy Pond in Newaygo County.
Anglers who fish those lakes claim the extended season has provided quality recreational opportunities and has not adversely affected the bass populations there. They feel the DNR should consider opening a catch-and-release season statewide.
So they have. But the sticking point is that
of the options presented by the DNR for regulation change, any of the proposals that call for early-season catch-and-release also calls for a compro-mise that would delay the start of the catch-and-keep season until June 1. That has the tour-nament crowd up in arms. Shortening the catch-and-keep season would severely restrict the available dates bass clubs could hold tournaments.
The DNR says it wants to error on the side of conserva-tion, if at all, and maintains that catch-and-release fishing early in the season could pose a problem for nesting bass. Biologists feel a compromise is needed to protect the resource
-and that delaying the start of the catch-and-keep season would maintain balance.
But anglers who have been practicing pre-season catch-and-release bass fishing on the six test lakes claim the resource on those lakes is fine. They say that catch-and-release fishing has a minimal effect on the overall bass population and that other things, like weather and even jet skis running through shallow spawning
areas on inland lakes each spring, cause more harm to the resource than catch-and-release fishing.
The DNR says it needs more data before making a decision on the effect of the early season fishing, therefore, the compro-mises have been presented for public review.
The DNR wants the public to help it decide what is an acceptable level of risk It set up a series of meetings across the state, but didn't release the list until the last minute mak-ing it impossible for monthly or bi-weekly outdoor publica-tions to announce the times and dates of the meetings before they started.
There was a meeting earlier this month in Novi, but we didn't have enough time to let O&E readers know before the meeting was held. Not a very good way to solicit public input. Why the list of meetings couldn't have been released a a month, rather than 11 days, before they began is a good question.
But we do have another option.
The report, including all the options, is available on the DNR web site at www.michi-gan.gov/dnr. Click on the "Fishing" link and it will take you to a page where you can review the report and down-load a bass fishing survey to let • the DNR know your feelings on bass fishing in Michigan.
Don't let the fact th^t the only meeting in southeastern Michigan has already been held stop you from comment- ; ing on the bass fishing propos-als. Let your voice be heard by filling out the survey on the web site and mailing it to tile biologists who manage our bass fishery.

CC gridders set sights on 4th consecutive title BY PAUL BEAUDRY
STAFF WRITER
, If you think repeating as champion is tough, try three-peating.
If you think that's tough, try making it four-in-a-row.
; Catholic Central gets to find but just how tough it is start-ing Saturday, when it opens its football season at the Pontiac Silverdome against Illinois power Downers Grove South.
And the team that has the biggest target on its back also has to try and defend its title with one hand tied behind its back - not like the Shamrocks will get much sympathy from any one else. ' "We can't worry about win-ning four in a row, we're just worrying about the first game," said CC coach Tom Mach. "We've got just three kids back on offense and three on defense, so there's a lot of new players who are coming into the system. All we can do right now is try to give them reps. We can't put in too many plays, but run the ones we put in well."
And in typical Mach fash-ion, he has his sights set someone lower than others.
"Our goals never change," said Mach. "We're trying to win the Central Division then the Catholic League. Hopefully, if we do that, we'll get enough victories to get in and then hope for the best."
At a lot of other schools, returning three players on either side of the ball would lead to great dismay. Catholic Central isn't any other school.
The Shamrocks, as usual, have a lot of seniors coming back. But since it's a senior-laden starting group year after year, they don't all see a lot(of time as underclassmen.
The quarterback spot is a prime example. Both Anthony Sabo and Mike McDonald are seniors, but saw little time behind two-year starter Dave Thomas. The spot is wide open, with junior Rob Forte also fitting into the mix.
Senior fullback Eric Vojtkofsky is back for his third year on the varsity, while run-ning backs Nick Barrett and Brendan English will all fit in the plans. They are all solid, but they have big shoes to fill.
"Eric is a very powerful run-ner who has speed enough to break one," said Mach. "He's not real fancy, but we don't ask him to be fancy and we
don't want h im to be. We had three good backs last year and could go with any one of them to keep teams off-balance.
"This year, we'll do the same so people will have to key on all three and that's hard to do. Unfortunately, none of them are as fast as (Derek Brooks, who graduat-ed)."
Juniors Chris Davis and Mike Parrelly along with Ed Moore will fit into the mix.
The offensive line is solid with seniors - center John Franchi, guards Jon Morasso and J im Musgrave and tackles Chris Pederson and Jon Smart. Tom Johnson will start at one tight end with the other spot rotating between juniors Chris Harding and Adam Gerard and senior Chris Massey. Dominique Fischer, Andy Davis and Andrew Vitale will see duty at wide receiver.
The defense seems more established and has good depth. Fischer and Rob Fragoso will go at defensive back, with Chris Sabo at safe-ty and McDonald filling in for him. Moore is slated to be the Monster back with Jeff Grad also backing u p the second-ary.
JIM JAGDFELD | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER j
CC head coach Tom Mach is approaching the team's fast football season in Redford no differently than he handled the -> previous 25 seasons. :
The front is solid with Tom Quinn and Dave Cornwell at defensive ends with Chris Massey helping out. Morasso and Johnson are at the tackles along with David Niemiec and Smart. Steve Thill and Kevin Helton are at the nose.
Kevin Horal and Vojtkofsky are are inside linebacker with Barrett and Tom McLean fit-
ting in the mix. The kicking game is unset-
tled and, candidly, has some big shoes to fill f rom kicker Jason Gingell (Michigan) and punter Scott Schwarzlose (Texas Christian). Horal has been handling the place kick-ing and Dan Genord and Kevin Mardegian have shared the punting.
- "There's a lot of holes to fill," ?< said Mach. '"We had goodjun- ; iors two years ago, and they * were seniors last year, Now we're faced with a lot of open * spots. It makes for good com- » petition, but it's also hard to ' tell what to expect." >

Temper, temper: Don't be a clown at the bowling alley Let's call him Bozo the
Clown. Every bowling league has one of these
guys. He just missed an easy spare and what does he do?
Bozo just takes his frus-trations out on the scoring console with either a swift kick or a hard left jab. He also has a few choice words which can be heard as far away as lane No. 32.
What a beating these delicate machines have to take. Just like your TV
Ten Pin Alley
A!
set and other electronic equip-ment in your home or office, the cost of repairs, replacement boards and chips can be pretty steep on those wonderful machines that make bowling better for all.
There are times when the scorers seem to be out of sync, and you might wonder, who had just slammed their fist into the automatic scorer, perhaps yes-terday or earlier today?
I have attended a few presea-son league meetings and have listened to proprietors such as Jim Hamlin at Country Lanes in Farmington Hills informing his league officers how much it costs to keep the scorers in working order (such as paying out over $500 for a netw board after someone had abused the machine).
They are not made to absorb those karate kicks, body slams, slam dunks using a bowling ball or what ever Bozo chooses for his method of attack.
We all want our bowling cen-ters to hold the line on rate increases, but every time Bozo from your league gives the machine a whack or two, you are just inviting a boost in the cost of bowling.
Bozo doesn't stop with the automatic scorers, however, because who could have been in the restroom attacking the fix-tures in much the same way?
Every owner is doing their best to give us the best possible environment, but there is always a Bozo or two to ruin it for everybody else because he just had a bad night on the lanes.
If you know who your league Bozos are, have your league offi-cer^) talk to him and get him or her straightened out or you'll be paying more to bowl eventu-ally.
• Monday is the 78th annual John P. Gavie Memorial Tournament at Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park.
Thi§ is a highlight of the new bowling season as it is consid-ered the kickoff of the regular bowling season.
There is plenty of room for spectators, so if you want to see some good bowling, come on down. There is plenty of room in the concourse to watch the action as the house will be com-pletely filled with various teams rolling for the championships.
• The Old Timers Bowling Association held its general
meeting a few days ago and everything is all set for this event, the 74th tournament. Details will come later, but it is always the Saturday after Thanksgiving Day.
Like the Gavie, the Old Timers event is also at Thunderbowl.
There will be entry forms on the bowling counters prior to the event. The main difference between the two events, is that the Gavie is a team tournament, whereas the Old Timers is based on individual perform-ances in different age classifica-tions.
In recent years, there have been bowlers en masse from San Diego, Calif, participating.
It is now a tradition which was originated by the late great Joe Norris.
Norris was originally from Detroit but spent his retirement years in sunny southern ^ California where he recruited some senior bowlers from that;, area to accompany him to Detroit. Currently there are about a dozen of these roving*::-' ambassadors from San Diego' "j who come here at their own expense to participate and make a good showing.
Some of our local senior men: have reciprocated by visiting •>. San Diego to bowl with the . CaJifomians. This year, one of / the ambassadors is an 80-yeat^ old U.S. Navy survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor. 5

Misbeliefs
addiction
Joe and Mary were mar-ried 10 years when Mary found out about a secret
John had been keeping from her. He claimed to be e-mail-ing and checking out various Web sites for bargains. But one day she stumbled on an e-mail to Joe from an X X X -rated Web site. She decided to check the history of the Web sites Joe had been going to. That day, her stomach sunk as she uncovered the sex sites he was viewing.
"How could I have missed this?" she said to herself. "Is this an addiction or does he have a bad habit?"
Do you know what an addiction would look like yourself? David Stoop, founder of the Center for Family Therapy, writes that there are 10 misbeliefs about addiction.
The first misbelief is that "Everybody's doing it so it cannot be an addiction." Minimizing helps justify bad behavior, he says. It's like a teen or college student who believes that since all the kids are getting drunk at parties, it can't be that bad. Everybody's acceptance of a problem makes it 10 times more difficult to see the problem for what it is.
The second misbelief is that some people's opinions about what an addict should look like is often erroneous. Alcoholics are people who drink in the morning, out of a brown paper bag while sit-ting on the curb. Stoop reminds us that that kind of alcoholism only describes "the end product."
No. 3 is the misbelief that some people think i t is a spir-itual issue which can only be cured with God's help. God can play a big part, but more times than not, the person must also go through a recov-ery process which may include a treatment center, psychotherapy and/or a 12-Step program.
No. 4 is that people have a choice to be addicted. Thus, if they exercised their willpower, they'd be free of the "habit." In fact, if the addiction were only a bad habit, they may very well be able to pull themselves away from it. Unfortunately, addic-tions are like a rubber band. You try to pull away from pornography, gambling, drinking, cigarettes, work, exercise, laxatives, food, TV or whatever, and the rubber band wants to spring back to its natural state.
No. 5 is that the problem only affects the individual person. Addictions are ALWAYS a family problem, and they affect everyone.
No. 6 misbelief is that the problem is only about the addicted person and no one else in the family should have to make changes. Alanon meetings, the 12-Step pro-gram for family members, were created for this very reason.
No. 7 is the notion that we need to keep our problem to ourselves. Confusion and humiliation, says Stoop, will keep a family silent. Surprisingly, things will actu-ally get better the sooner you acknowledge what is going on to important people in your life.
The eighth belief is that if a spouse/partner gets tough and sets limits, the other per-son will leave.
The ninth is the belief that addiction won't happen to me. If you grew up in a fami-ly where one person was addicted to something, you may have vowed to NEVER let that happen to you or even marry someone like that.
The last misbelief is that people can never change. People can change when the pain becomes too much. Thousands of people change every day. Jacque Martin-Downs is a therap is t . She can be reached at (800) 940-3808.

summer call for ice cream
BY LiNDA ANN CH0MIN STAFF WRITER
Debbie Honhart knows it won't be long before the kids are back in school so she and friends Rhonda Lachowicz of Canton and Kristin Barnes of Westland decided to enjoy one last pic-nic in the park before heading over to Dairy Whip in Redford.
Every day is a good day for ice cream especially during the dwindling days of summer. In spite of the cooler weather, they're lining up at stands all over town.
"It's never too cold for ice cream," said Honhart of Redford as she waited
in line with Ashley, 8, Arielle, 2, and Gavin, 6 months.
Ice cream lovers favor stands for a number of reasons: Barnes came espe-cially for the eyes.
"They put candy eyes on the ice cream," said Barnes, who usual-ly stops at the Dairy King in Plymouth with her five kids - Ayllisia, 10, Austin, 7, Alaina, 5, Ashton,
3, and Aiden, 6 months. "We've looked all over and no one else does that."
Even after school starts at Pierce Elementary on Aug. 25, Rice brothers Andrew, 13, and John, 11, plan to visit Dairy Whip once a day when they're at their father's house.
Mark Wanshon makes sure to stop at the Dairy-Go-Round any time he's on his way into Plymouth from his Canton home. "" _
SWEET TREAT
Ice cream is eternally popular. Stories abound about Chinese cooks creating frozen flavored snow for emperors 3,000 years ago. It wasn't until 1774 that a caterer brought con-fections, including ice cream, to New York. Commercial production began in 1851 in Baltimore and by 1904 Americans were wild about the exotic sweet stuff. At least 50 ice cream stands were scooping the delight into dishes and some of the first cones at the World's Fair in St. Louis.
"The older kids are playing softball at Pioneer," said Wanshon, who's been coming to Dairy-Go-Round for 11 years. " I have the younger ones. It's a good way to occupy them."
Like Wanshon and his bunch, a majority seek the cool, creamy stuff after dinner. By 6:45 p.m. Monday, lines were forming at the Hand-D-Dip Dairy Barn in Livonia. Their 21-month old granddaughter, Kayla, was the rea-son Chantal and David Kalinowski waited in line.
"Ice cream is always good," said Chantal Kalinowski, who's been com-ing to Hand-D-Dip during the 28 years they have lived in Livonia.
A passion for ice cream has kept owners Cathy and Pete Hanson in busi-ness for 36 years. They've seen genera-tions of customers and employees return every season. Most of the stands

open in early spring and close in mid-to late October, making it a perfect summer job for the high school and college students filling cones.
"As you stay with a business so long you get to know the faces," said Cathy Hanson. "It's kind of a nostalgic. Going up to get an ice cream cone reminds you of the old days when you were a kid. We try to keep prices affordable so families can bring their kids."
Several of the stands run daily spe-cials. King Kone opens the first Saturday in March with Nickel Day -all small cones are 5 cents. Later in the season, customers can receive a free pint of ice cream by donating a pint of blood.
"People used to go to King Kone since 1942 when it used to be Jack's Drive-in. It used to be like Happy Days. In the 1970s it changed to King Kone," said Jeri Stollings, who's owned the stand with husband Gene 13 years. "Opening day is customer appreciation day. There are people that would eat it all winter if we stayed open."
Joyelle (front), Faith and David Washington enjoy ice cream at the roadside Dairy Dan in Westland.
PRICES LOW
Dave Reitzel and twins sons Greg and Joe, 10, head over to King Kone at least twice a week. It's close to home and today's special, 29 cents for a small cone, is easy on the wallet.
"I'm not excited about the stand clos-ing in late October. I go through with-drawal," said Reitzel."Ice cream's good and it's always a good deal. My kids play baseball and soccer and the teams come up after."
Baseball teams from the Bailey Center and families have favored Dairy Dan in Westland since 1956 because of employees like Lindsay Beard.
"Lots of families come up and dad will say he used to come here as a kid," said Beard, who along with the other employees donated $1,500, half of last season's tips to the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute. "We're . really friendly. Lots of times if it's a baby we'll just give it to them."
This was Barbara Piavis' fourth trip this summer for the low carb Moose Tracks at Dairy Dan. Piavis, a Novi res-ident, stops whenever she visits mother Delrose Toczylowski of Westland.
"It makes a nice evening," said Piavis. "We shop and then have a little treat."

says it's not unusual for customers to travel from distant locations to Redford.
"We have people who lived here drive all the way from Brighton," said Kelley. tfWe all have our prob-lems, ups and downs but ice cream is one of those sinful treats. It's always a good day when you stop for ice cream."
So many kids had stopped for ice cream at Twist 'N' Shake in Canton that Abe Sleiman was out of his most popular flavor, Blue Goo, a soft serve vanilla with a flavor burst.
"It's a good treat for young and old," said Sleiman. "You never really outgrow ice cream no matter how old you get." [email protected]

PGA pro takes a swing at raising funds for transplant patients BY LINDA ANN CHOMIN
STAFF WRITER
Larry Wardo is taking another swing at raising money to assist transplant patients by holding a golf toum^menHMciay, Aug. 27, at Indian Trails Golf Center, on the northwest corner of Pontiac Trail apd Earhart, Ann Arbor.
Last year he tried unsuccessful-ly, but this year the Redford golf pro has support. Wardo is count-
ing on Beaumont Hospital staff to pitch in since programs there will receive part of the proceeds from the tournament. The rest will go to the National Transplant Assistance Fund to help patients cover uninsured expenses.
Wardo is betting that once peo-ple find out about the National Transplant Assistance Fund they will want to participate in the Aug. 27 benefit. To make the tournament a success, he will
need 120 players to sign .up. Wardo says he was lucky he had
insurance when his sister donated a kidney to him three years ago at Beaumont Hospital.
"I'm putting my own money up for deposit on the golf course. It makes me a little nervous" said Wardo, who hasn't competed for the last couple of years but is starting to again.
"I hope people will want to help," said Wardo. "This is going
for people not as fortunate as me. Transplants are a tremendous cost for people."
The tournament costs $600 for a foursome, and includes a chick-en and rib dinner and prizes.
For more information or. to donate or play in the tournament, call (248) 231-3537.

In loving memory Norma McQueen 8/28/29 - 8/22/03
Due year has passed since you went way. You have been in our thoughts ivery day. We miss you so very nuch; your laughter, your tenderness, 'our wisdom, your beauty and the >eauty you brought into the world hrough your art, but most of all your ove for al! of us. You are truly the l e fmi t ion of a beautiful lady. Although the Lord called you home, 'our spirit still lives in us.
We little knew that morning, God was going to call your name
In life we loved you deariy in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone
For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us beantiful memories,
Your love is still our guide And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems die same But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
I n M e m o r y Of

une 22-July 23) Every event in one's life is a thread weaving a pat-
rn that unfolds by design. Therefore, if you are Confronted with a major decision or obstacle that sou ld alter your future comfort and security as the week begins, just let go and simply let things take their natural course.
LEO (July 24-Aug. 23) Give some thought to consol idat ing what you have, rather than spending what you d o n ' t
PBeware of relying upon the goodwil l of o thers whose motives could di f fer substant ia l ly f rom your own. Keep it honest, L ion- and expect and demand the same in return.
VIRGO (Aug. 24-Sept. 23) Sorry, kiddo, but you'll be a bit touchy as the week unfolds as a result of the Sun moving into one of your bossier areas of your horoscope. Some people might be hard to deal with, but f rom their point of view, it 's you who is being diff icult. Uh-huh: happy birthday, right?
LIBRA (Sept. 24-0ct. 23) I You're being far too sensitive about something recent-
ly said or overheard - and feeling tired, right?. Moon-'Venus alliances are wanting you to smooth rough
^ " f e a t h e r s and give others the chance to soothe yours. This is no time to risk turning an ally into an enemy.,
Dct. 24-Nov. 22) The t ime has come to break out of shell or pretens-
/ ^ l l . a n d show the world what you can do. For too / iipig, you've been content to stand in the shadows
or let others take charge- which was fine and dandy 'back then.' it's your turn to take center stage, get out, be seen and heard!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Your optimism and sense of purpose are quite
\ extraordinary, but emotional vulnerability frequently ^ c r e a t e s a kind of inner conflict others do not seem
appreciate or understand. Guard against reading more into situations than really exists this week or severing any ties which have been your mainstay.
Dec. 22-Jan. 21) The future may be made up of the same stuff as the
I ' l l present, but you must dispose of those useless emo-§ & i o n s : guilt and worry. Difficulty is often the soil in
^ which one's finest qualities flourish. Failures throw us upon our own resources; hardships teach fortitude.
(Jan. 22-Feb. 19) r , . With so many distractions in your life now, you
could be forgiven for fail ing to notice a subtle ! f ! . c h a n g e in a close relationship. Despite the disrup-A f ^ t i v e influence of ruling planet Uranus, it 's up to you
m i | 0 p jay f o r t ime or take more immediate action.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) , time you got tough about something you've ,
lowed to drift along for too long, Whatever your rea-; for putting it off, what happens over the next few
weeks will make it abundantly clear that you must be decisive, if only for your peace of mind. Act now!

Work your memory and muscle
There's a stereotype tha t as people get older they auto-matically start losing their
ability to remember things. I've always felt tha t everyone loses their memory from t ime to time, no matter what age they are. Just look at the tests a 16-year-old kid flunks here and there.
To my mind, it's a big mistake to accept tha t just because we're getting older, we neces-sarily will start forgetting things more often.
We can all keep Our memo-ries sharp by challenging our-selves to remember things. You can practice memorizing any-thing, really, but it's always more fun if it's something you're interested in. (I, person-ally, like to memorize poems, Bible verses, and bits of Shakespeare.) You can buy inexpensive memory games, find them for free on the Internet, and even create your own.
Memorization can be a lot of f a n and it's one of the best ways to give your mind a mental workout - no matter how old you are.
And please remember to take care of your health before it's lonngggg gone!

My Kids First Coach New DVD aims
to prevent childhood
obesity BY LINDA ANN CHOMIN
STAFF WRITER
Dr. Martin Levin and former Detroit Lions player J im Browne have teamed up to fight childhood obesity. As par-ents, they're concerned about the increasing numbers of overweight kids who are being diagnosed with diseases typically found in adults.
Af ter long discussions at the gym where they work out, the two, together with Levin's wife Mollene, decided to produce a DVD in hopes of encourag-ing an active lifestyle t ha t could help prevent obesity. "My Kids First Coach" guides parents through a series of exercises to coax their children into developing motor skills, coordination and confidence.
Levin is fond of saying, as an optometrist he's not as concerned with kids' eyes bu t their bodies. His biggest pet peeve is parents who want glasses for thei r children so they can sit at the computer longer. Children need less t ime in f ront of computer and televi-sion screens.
PREVALENT PROBLEM
"We started doing research, my wife Mollene on childhood obesity. She's an elementary school teacher who's seen the value of exercise in young chil-dren," said Levin, a West Bloomfield resident. "We contacted the CDC (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention) for literature and discov-
ered that since 1980 the number of overweight kids has doubled, the amount of overweight adolescents nearly tripled. That's a pretty outstand-ing figure.
"Obesity leads to health issues. Young children develop bone and joint problems, as thma and breathing prob-lems. In teenagers we're seeing type 2 diabetes which you never saw until middle age. The biggest ramification is one-third of children born in 2000 , if things continue this way, will have type 2 as middle age adults."
Levin introduced his sons to skiing and skating at age 3 so he has no reser-vations about promoting exercise for children as early as six weeks old. Divided in three sections, the DVD focuses on increasing flexibility and muscle awareness f rom newborn through the t ime a child is walking, hand-eye coordination and muscle control for toddlers through age 3, and strength, concentration and confidence for ages 3 to 5.
"It's a very interactive program," said Levin. "When you have a child you start playing with them, rolling t hem around. With this it's focused play. Parents are bonding with the children, just stretching their limbs, getting them aware of their movement. I don't think it's pushing them at all. It's a lot of the things tha t parents normally do."
At age 56, Levin still plays hockey and skis. Like his children, he started playing sports at a young age. Today, they all remain active and maintain a healthy weight.
"It's been shown that children active at a young age will continue doing it through their adolescence," said Levin, who developed the exercises related to eyes and hand-eye coordination. "This is not going to make every child into a great athlete bu t is great for self-esteem. I remember in school every-thing was centered around athletics. If you were one of the last people picked it was traumatic. We're trying to give them a huge head start so they won't be the last child picked."
Former NFL player Jim Browne works with his son Jonathan, 3, on a series of exercises to build strength, coordination and confidence.

Reducing cholesterol lowers your risk of heart disease, stroke
DATEB00K
Traditional medications were not enough to lower Renee Reinke's sky-high cholesterol level. But preventive cardiologists at the University of Michigan Health System were able to offer the 52-year-old an alternative.
Cholesterol apheresis is a blood-filtering tech-nique similar to kidney dialysis that strips thes
blood of LDL cholesterol to help lower the levels of this artery-clogging substance. UMHS is one of a handful of centers across the country, and the only one in Michigan, to offer this technique.
The technique is not a first-line treatment for people with high cholesterol. Initially, patients are encouraged to lose weight, follow a healthy diet, exercise more or take any of several lipid-lowering medications. For approximately one in 300,000 people, these methods aren't enough to achieve the goal.
There are two types of cholesterol in our blood - low density lipoprotein, or LDL, and high den-sity lipoprotein, or HDL. LDL is laiown as the "bad" cholesterol because it sticks to the lining of the blood vessels, narrowing them and raising the risk of heart attack, stroke or angina pain. High levels of LDL cholesterol are linked to an increased risk of dying from cardiovascular dis-ease. HDL cholesterol actually removes harmful cholesterol from the blood vessels.
Patients receive cholesterol apheresis treat-ment once every two to three weeks. A catheter is placed in one arm to drain the blood. The machine separates the red and white blood cells from the plasma. The LDL is then removed from the plasma and the plasma is returned back to the body with the patient's own blood cells. Because the patient's own blood is returned, there's no risk for external infections. The proce-dure takes about two to three hours.
"Typically we reserve LDL apheresis for patients who have failed lifestyle changes and multiple drugs to achieve their goals for LDL cholesterol. It's not a first line therapy in any-body because there are many other options, including lifestyle changes, weight loss, diet and multiple medications to achieve the goal," said Dr. Robert Brook, a hypertension and vas-cular specialist at UMHS and assistant profes-sor of internal medicine at the U-M Medical
School. For those people who do require cholesterol
apheresis, it is highly effective. Studies indicate it lowers the risk of cardiovascular events by 50 percent to 70 percent, compared to patients receiving traditional therapy.
LDL apheresis may be indicated for people whose LDL levels are higher than 300 mg/dl or for those with coronary heart disease whose LDL levels are 200 mg/dl or higher. It is only used if the patient cannot lower his or her cho-lesterol through lifestyle changes and medica-tions or if the medications are not tolerated.
Recommended total cholesterol should be less than 200 ,200-239 is borderline high, 240 or above, high.
Cardiologists recommend HDL levels of 45 mg/dl or higher.
Recommended LDL levels vary depending on your risk. Less than 160 is considered good for most people, less than 130 for people with increased risk of heart disease, and less than 100 for people with heart disease, diabetes, peripheral artery disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm or symptomatic carotid artery dis-ease
To keep your cholesterol low by eating right, exercising and not smoking. Here are some tips:
• Eat fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains every day. Avoid foods high in fat, espe-cially saturated fat, such as butter or meat.
• Look for healthier polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats.
• Use oils like sunflower, safflower, canola, olive and corn instead of palm or coconut.
• Choose chicken, turkey or fish over red meat.
• Use egg whites instead of whole eggs. • Replace whole milk dairy with nonfat or
low-fat milk, cheese or yogurt. • Reduce fried foods, vending machine choic-
es and fast food. t
• Exercise at least 20 minutes every other day. TVy swimming, jogging, walking or bicy-cling.
• Have your cholesterol levels checked once a year. •

"Jonathan is the classic exam-ple of typical kid, great when in the mood for it and terrible when he's not," said Browne, a Clarkston resident. "He fights me on things and I walk away. I try to make it fun. Every parent has their own way, tricks for having fun with their child."
Jonathan's progress to part three hasn't been without prob-lems.
"They unde r s t and more , do more, bu t still get cranky," said Levin. "Drills are far more intr icate bu t movements are s imilar th rough all stages.

Tips for a great basement living space Basements have come a long way since
the days of chilly, damp rec rooms with low ceilings, dark paneling and cast-off furniture.
Today's basements may have plush home theaters, weight rooms and saunas, climate-controlled wine cellars, lap pools and dance floors, along with bedrooms, baths and kitchenettes.
Finishing an unused lower level is a way to gain livirig space at a lower cost than adding to the footprint of the home. Even so, the nationwide average price tag for a basement remodeling/fin-ishing project is around $43,000. The actual cost depends on the homeowner's vision for the space and can easily top, six figures.
Design and construction pros agree tha t with sound planning, creative thinking and today's newest building materials, it is possible to create a base-ment that is warm and comfortable, light and just as appealing as the main floor of the house.
Whether you are building a, new home with a finished lower level or finishing the basement in your current house, here are some basic considerations to keep in mind:
• Address dampness as the first step in a.basement project so that flooding, mold or musty smells won't ruin your investment. Get a qualified professional to identify the source of any water prob-lems, including seasonal seepage, and prescribe a fix. Install one or more sumj> pumps, with one powered by a battery or generator in case of a power failure. Use a dehumidifier and install proper venti-lation for adequate air exchange.
• Plan ahead and cluster your utilities and mechanical systems, such as the fur-
nace and hot water heater, in one place, away from the living areas, to reduce noise and maximize the amount of fin-ished space. Make sure all your contrac-tors know of your plans for finishing the basement. Wiring, plumbing, heating and cooling systems should be installed so that they are easily accessible and have minimal impact on living space and" headroom.
• Get your living space off the cold concrete. Rick Angelico, a partner in Hampton RMR, a residential construc-tion firm in Easthampton, N.Y., suggests installing a DRIcore subfloor. The DRIcore system consists of interlocking 2-by 2-foot squares that are set directly on top of the concrete to form a floating floor over which carpet, vinyl, laminate or engineered hardwood may be installed.
"Because it's a wood product, it's softer to walk on than concrete," Angelico said. It's quick and easy enough for a do-it-yourselfer, he said, because it doesn't require any framing. "You just set the squares on top of the concrete and tap them together."
• Let in the light. If you are building a new home or planning an extensive remodel, specify generously-sized win-dows in walk-out or daylight basements. If you have an existing basement with a few tiny transom windows and a tight budget, you'll need to be more creative to achieve a light and inviting room. Consider using strategically placed spot-lights to add drama.
Charles Riley, a New York interior designer who tackles basement projects with creativity and flair, suggests fram-ing a large panel of frosted glass or other quality translucent material to create a

shoji screen effect. Install the panel with a light behind it, in or against a base-ment wall and below a transom window, to give the illusion of a full-length win-dow through which filtered sunlight shines.
• Don't skimp on quality. Create whatever style you desire, but be sure to finish the lower level with the same quality as the main floors of the home. That means using drywall rather than paneling, and quality detailing and
workmanship. 'You are making an investment in
your home and your quality of life," said Karl Holtermann, project manager at Bartelt-Filo Design Build. "If a remod-eled basement is a great source of enjoy-ment for your family, then the payback is measured in far more than monetary value." ^

Set goals before tackling a do-it-yourself project J
•U,
PRNewswire - The booming trend in "television fix-it shows" has homeowners all across the United States attempting projects they do not have the skills to accomplish. Wallpaper that sticks every-where but the wall. A crooked tile back-splash. A leaky roof. For many home-owners, what was supposed to be a weekend of home improvement proj-ects, many times, turns into a disaster of
epic proportions. Just recently, a House Doctors fran-
chisee was able to fix a "do-it-yourself" project gone bad, when a Louisiana man attempted to install a new front door. Nightfall was nearing and the man was unable to properly hang the door, leav-ing his girlfriend i n a panic that she might not be able to lock, or even close, her front door that night.
This story, along with thousands of others, is becoming commonplace because of the influx of television home improvement shows, said Steve Cohen, president of House Doctors - a national home improvement/repair franchise.
Sometimes, the best prevention of a "do-it-yourself" disaster is planning and practice, and knowing when to call a professional. Tim Carter of www.askthe-
builder.com has witnessed thousands of homeowners turn a weekend project into a costly venture that never ends.
House Doctors, established in 1995, operates more than 200 franchise loca-tions across the U.S. House Doctors pro-vides a variety of home repair and handyman services. For information, visit www.housedoctors.com or call (888) HOUSEDOC.

Five-sided Hunt offers great built-in features Five-sided Hunt has a beautiful covered
porch, accented with high windows, rock pillars, and rock at the base of the windows. A three-car garage facing the left side adds to the balance of the facade. Each wing from the main area flares out and is symmetrical.
Entry into the 2,648 square foot Hun t brings one to the huge expanse of open living space. There is a center cabinet area that contains the pantry, refrigerator and counter space. The vaulted kitchen is along the wall of two of the five sides. There is a built-in desk, dishwasher, sinks, range and oven, and an eating bar. Inside is an island that has a vegetable sink.
Off the kitchen is the vaulted master suite. From the door off the kitchen, one walks along a hallway with a sink and vanity on one side and the master bath and walk-in closet on the other. Inside the vaulted master bath are another sink, a linen closet, a raised tub, and an oversized shower with a seat. French doors open off the hall area to main suite, while a set of sliding doors open onto the rear covered porch. A smaller wall closet is in the suite for additional clothes storage.
The dining and living rooms are both vaulted and open. There is a gas fireplace on the rear , wall of the living room as well as an entertain-men t center tucked into one of the corners. On the left side of the living room is a large wet bar, complete with a refrigerator and sink.
The left wing of the Hun t has a vaulted office, two vaulted bedrooms, a full bath, and the utili-
ty room. The office is ideally located near the f ront door for an in-home business. Bedrooms two and three face the backyard and each have sliding doors opening onto the covered porch. The bathroom has a shower and a single sink. A linen closet is opposite between the two bed-room's. The utility room has a washer and dryer as well as a deep sink and storage area.
A door f rom the utility room opens into the large three-car garage. Stairs to the unfinished 2,618 square foot unfinished basement are on the rear wall of t h e garage.

Ask questions before buying homeowner's insurance policy
PRNewswire - Severe weather has impacted much of the country this year, as a result, homeowners may face the prospect of filing an insurance claim. Even worse, some may be stunned to discover tha t their home insurance does not cover everything they anticipate.
"Too often, the importance of having the right insurance is not realized until a loss occurs, and consumers are left paying more than expected for home repairs," said Cathy Rein, president and CEO of MetLife Auto & Home.
Before purchasing home insurance, con-sider the following:
• What's covered? Understand what the policy will cover - and what it will not. Determiiie in advance what your expected out-of-pocket responsibility will be in the event of a loss.
• Does the insurer place a cap on what it will pay for property damage?
Many insurers will only pay up to the amount listed on your policy, whether or not tha t amount is sufficient to cover the actual rebuilding costs, which rise Over t ime due to increases in the cost of labor and materials. There are insurers, howev-er, that offer "uncapped" coverage, mean-ing you receive full payment, even if it is more than the amount of your coverage-providing greater peace of mind.
• Is an inflation factor built into the policy? Look for a company tha t offers an "inflation guard." Your level of coverage will automatically increase every year to keep up with the level of home repair inflation in your area.
• Does the insurer offer replacement cost coverage for contents?
Insurance companies will cover a home's contents for "actual cash value," which includes depreciation: roughly, the older the age of the contents, the less they are
worth. Some carriers, however, allow you to purchase coverage for contents on a replacement cost basis.
• In the event of a loss, can the insurer guarantee the work performed?
Many insurers have developed a famil-iarity with local contractors. If you choose one, they can offer guarantees that these reputable, licensed service providers will s tand behind necessary repairs.
Finally, an important consideration is flexibility. "One size doesn't fit all," said Rein. "The insurance needs for a b rand new home are different than that of a Victorian. Talk to your agent and select the level of coverage you need, including additional coverage for important items, such as jewelry or computers. By asking questions before the loss, you can secure a more complete policy."

Let's Talk About Real Estate
"THE ART OF NEGOTIATION" One of the most important steps in buying real estate is
the actual negotiation of the terms, of sale. This vital step requires good instincts and experience. Some of the items that are usually included in the negotiations are price, financing, closing date, occupancy date, amount of earnest money deposit, and agreement upon those items that will or will not be included in the sale. Some of these details can cause major and/or minor disputes between buyer and seller over some aspect of the agreement.
In order to be an effective negotiator, you must be able to keep your emotions under control. Most negotiations that fail are the result of one or both parties becoming angered by the actions of the other. A seller can be easily upset by the original price offered by the buyer. A common reaction by an offended seller is to counter the offer at the full price or one dollar less than the actual listed price. This tactic is an attempt on the part of the seller to shoe the buyer that the seller is going to be a force to be reckoned with. Feelings can also be aroused when the seller decides not to include certain lighting fixtures or window treatment items that had been previously included in the asking price.
Whether you are the buyer or the seller, it is important to remember certain essential rules of good negotiating. Here are a few things to keep in mind: 1. Before beginning the negotiating process., clarify what your objectives are and how far you are willing to g o .
2. Ask yourself how a certain decision will emotionally affect the other party before taking a certain bargaining stance. 3. Successful negotiating requires trust between the parties. Be above board and straight forward in your actions. This will lead to the best results. ADVICE:
The average real estate transaction is becoming increasingly complex. You can benefit most during the negotiating process when y&u use the services of a Realtor who deals with the issues on a regular basis.
