Easier AB voting BY JACK GLADDEN STAFF WRITER

Freshman state Rep. Phil LaJoy (R~ Canton) introduced his first bill in the legislature last week and, if it passes and certain conditions are met, Canton Clerk Terry Bennett couldn't be happier.

The bill, House Bill 4057, would make it possible for any voter to obtain an absentee ballot simply by applying for one.

Under current law there are only six

reasons for voting absentee: 1. People age 60 or over. 2. Those who are physically unable to

get to the polls without assistance. 3. Precinct workers in precincts other

than the one in which they reside. 4. People who expect to be absent from

their community the entire time the polls are open on election day.

5. People who cannot go to the polls ' because of religious beliefs.

6. People who are in jail. "If someone wants an absentee ballot

they should be allowed to have one," LaJoy said, "even if their only reason for requesting one is to vote in the privacy of their own home. Allowing more access to absentee ballots should also increase

. voter participation while cutting down lines at the polls on election day."

IN FAVOR

Bennett said she's all for the "no rea-son" absentee ballots on one condition.

"I'm in favor of it as long as it's tied to

adding digital signatures to the Qualified Voter File so that when an application for an absentee ballot is received, clerks offices around the state will have the abil-ity to check signatures on the QVF for security and fraud purposes," she said.

The QVF is a computerized program run by the state that allows clerk's offices throughout the state to access voter reg-istration information electronically. While the system has the capability of adding digitized signatures to a voter's

Faced with an aging bus fleet * sistently threatened with red tags by state inspectors, the Plymouth-Canton school board is considering a plan to purchase new school buses to safely transport 9,100 students a day.

"In June 2002, we were inspected by the state and received an excellent score of only two red tags," said Melvin Latnie, director of transporta-tion. "Less than three months later, the state inspector returned. When he finished his inspection, we received nine red'tags. Needless to say, the message was received loud and clear"'

The Board of Education could approve a plan, as early as the Feb. 18 meeting, which would immediately replace 23 buses, and forge an annual replacement program with money from the general fund to begin in the

Staley won't run for school board post BY TONY BRUSCATO STAFF WRITER

Plymouth-Canton Schools Trustee Marcy Staley will not be seeking re-election.

Staley said she will use the time to care for her mother,, who has been diagnosed with macular degenera-tion.

"She already has lost about 90 per-cent vision in one eye, and in all likeli-hood will lose the same amount in the other eye," said Staley, a Canton resi-dent. "I want to be able to take care of her. Family is always first and fore-most."

Staley was appointed to fill the seat vacated by Steve Guile in December 2001. She then ran in June 2002 for the one-year unexpired term, defeat-ing Debra Madonna.

"I will miss being on the board," Staley said. "I've enjoyed my tenure, as short as it might seem to some people. If you add it on to the time I've spent on the housing committee and com-munity council, it's been a long career.

The seventh and eighth-grade teacher, currently on maternity leave, found friends and neighbors who knew El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, or Malcolm X as he is known. She has written of her inter-views f rom Mason and plans to teach what she learned when she returns to the classroom.

's Red Kettle success BY BRAD KADRICH STAFF WRITER

You could come up with any number of reasons why the local Salvation Army was able to surpass its 2002 Red Kettle Campaign goals in one of the more successful campaigns in recent memory.

But Maj. Jacqueline Hull, who runs the post with her husband, Maj. Steve Hull, thinks she's got the reason pegged: new coordinator Kelly Zmudczynski's arrival. And she can explain Zmudczynski's arrival, too.

"God sent her to us,"

S f f i O f S S P E O M

HELPERS The following Canton groups and residents were cited by Kelly Zmudczynski as special helpers. • Alan Werda, who rang the kettle bell at Target every Tuesday and Thursday, • T h e Wester family, whose kids went one place while the parents volunteered at anoth-er. • Nathan Reno, a high school student • The Canton Friendship Church congregation, which helped for an entire week. • The Close Up students from P-CEP who helped ou t • Stella Marschak, who rang at Target.

Jacqueline Hull says simply of the Canton resident.

The story certainly reads like a miracle, at least from the Salvation Army's perspective. The Red Kettle Campaign is the Army's biggest fund-raiser of the year, and it takes a mas-sive effort to coordinate.

The Plymouth Salvation Army post also serves Canton Township.

This year, just as the cam-paign was about to begin, the young lady running it was forced to take an emergency medical leave.

At the same time, Zmudczynski was searching for work, and had had some job opportunities slip through her fingers. When she took her son to The Kwon Do practice at the Army building, she began commiserating with the Hulls.

And a campaign coordinator was born.

"This was sent by God," Zmudczynski said. "Every job I thought I was going to get fell through. Then I come here and Jackie said they needed help. It was a case of right place, right time."

If she wanted the job (and she did), Zmudczynski had to jump right in. Her first day was the Kettle Kickoff ceremo-ny, at which the Army was tak-ing its first list of volunteers signing up to ring bells at the Army's 23 kettle locations in Plymouth, Canton, Northville and Belleville.

At first it was hectic, but Zmudczynski quickly got things in order.

"She really had to hit the ground running," Steve Hull said, "Her organizational abili-ty was evident from the start. If she hadn't had that, I doubt seriously she would have been

able to handle all the things that get thrown at you in that situation."

The job entails coordinating nearly 700 volunteers. The first bell-ringers of the day pick up their kettles at around 8:30 a.m., and the kettles aren't collected until around 9:30 p.m. Volunteers are scat-tered throughout the four communities, and difficulties such as no-shows or kettle problems frequently occur.

With most of the Army's employees working 60-70 hours a week during the cam-paign, it was a situation not for the faint of heart. Filling 23 sites for 12 hours a day is a lot of organizing.

But Zmudczynski thrived on it.

"It was the most challeng-ing, yet the most rewarding, work I've ever done," she said. "I couldn't believe the number of residents who called to say, 'When I was a little kid, the Salvation Army helped us, so now I want to help you.'"

Judging by the results, Zmudczynski's first Red Kettle campaign was obviously a suc-cessful one. The campaign raised some $129,000, about

, $8,000 more than its 2002 goal. Somehow, even with last-minute cancellations and organizational problems, it all got done.

And, typically, Zmudczynski is quick to point out she didn't do it alone. Hundreds of vol-unteers helped, for hundreds of reasons, and the campaign couldn't have been a success without them.

Case in point: Cheryl and Aidan Yee. The Plymouth mom and son spent 31 hours ringing bells at kettle locations all arouncfthe area, including two stints at both the Little

Book Shoppe on the Park and the post office. , The Yee family dedicated

their- ringing to Cheryl's hus-band, who died in March 2001. The Yee family had always made charity work a staple — helping the Capuchins, Gleaner's Food Bank and the Salvation Army, among others.

"It makes us feel closer to my husband," Cheryl Yee said. "It's something he would have done."

Then there were volunteers like Kathy Lake, a Plymouth woman who happened into the Army building on Main Street to drop off a check and was surprised to find Zmudczynski tearing her hair out because she was so busy. Out of the blue, Lake volun-teered to help and wound up being a key cog in the success of the campaign.

Then there's Wes Kappler. Here on a winter visit, Kappler volunteered so often he pretty much ended up running things in the Belleville area, where the Salvation Army is trying to establish a foothold.

"We absolutely could not have done it without them," Zmudczynski said of the vol-unteers.

Zmudczynski so impressed the Salvation Army leadership that Hull decided to push to make the campaign coordina-tor a full-time, year-round position. Approval for that move came from district head-quarters Tuesday.

"The way we're looking at it is, even as successful as it was, we still had some large gaps when we still needed volun-teers, particularly in Belleville," Steve Hull said. "Being relatively new there, we haven't developed the volun-

teer base we have in this area. We'll focus on school groups, churches and any other groups we can think of to try and develop that."

Zmudczynski agrees it's a full-time job, year-round. And the Hulls definitely feel like they've got the right woman for the job.

"She did an outstandingjob, particularly with the chal-

. coming in late in the game, with all of this being new," HuU said. "Now that she's got a season under her belt and a better idea of what's involved, that can set us up to improve even more." bkadrich@oe.homecornm.net

woman reported to Canton Police on Feb. 5 that she was shopping at Sam's.Club in Canton about 1 p.m. and acci-dentally left her purse in the

shopping cart in the parking lot.

At about 2:40 that afternoon she received a phone call at home from a woman who said she had some of the credit

cards. The caller wouldn't come to the woman's home, so she went to meet the caller at a motel in fnkster where she was staying.

The two met in the lobby of

the motel where the Inkster woman turned over some credit cards. She said her boyfriend had found the purse at a bus stop at Michigan and Venoy. He didn't want to be seen carrying

a purse, so he emptied the con-tents (which was only credit cards), brought them back to the motel and left the purse at the bus stop. After retrieving the cards in the motel,

Livonia woman checked the area but couldn't find the purse. Not recovered were other credit cards, miscella-neous papers and ID cards and $500 cash.

The Salem Rockettes perform one of two dance routines Tuesday, Jan. 28, before departing Thursday for the National Dance Team Championship in Orlando, Fla,

That's not true any more. The Rockettes not only

reached the finals recently, they performed well enough to fin-ish 12th in a 56-team field.

"We were satisfied just mak-ing it to the final round" said ninth-year coach Aileen Balatico, "We knew we were up against so many teams that go down there year after year. We only go down every few years, so that was accomplishment enough."

Salem's best finish prior to 2003 was its third-place finish in the kickline competition at the 2000 championships. The Rockettes did not reach the finals in kickline this year.

have been tough for the Rockettes, who feature only . three girls who've ever made the trip to nationals before. Their roster features nine jun-iors and four sophomores.

Balatico said the Rockettes weren't sure what to expect, and found themselves surprised by the level of the competition.

"The hardest part was just seeing the different talent from all across the country," Balatico said. "We know what we're up against here in Michigan, but when you factor in another 49 states you can see where your level is compared to the rest of the United States.

"The ability of some of the teams, especially from the south, shocked us the most," the coach added. "We were over-whelmed by the talent level of some of the teams."

While their inexperience did-n't help this year, the coach, thinks it will pay offin experi-ence should the Rockettes qual-ify — and make the trip — next year.

"The younger girls don't red-ly know what to expect," Balatico said. "You can only prep the team so much, and then they have to experience it on their own. They'll be more aware of the competition that's out there if we go next year. We have to qualify first."

Even if the Rockettes qualify, there will still be the issue of money, as there is every year. This year, fund-raisers helped the girls raise enough money to pay for airfare. Balatico said the trip cost about $600 per girl.

POLICE FROM PAGE A1

BY TONY BRUSCATO STAFF WRITER

Eliminating all employee overtime, increasing lunch prices by 5 percent, and deleting busing for high school students are three of 37 budget consider-ations to be given the Plymouth-Canton Board of Education, which is faced with cutting mil-lions of dollars from the 2003-04 budget by June 30.

The Budget Advisory Committee, made up of trustees and district residents, came up with the ideas in an effort to expand the list of alter-natives the seven-member school board will be discussing as possible cuts.

"I hope the ideas will give the administration some added ideas, tilings to think about, when deciding cuts," said Judy Mardigian, the school board treasurer who heads the adviso-ry committee. "The object was to get more ideas to help the board think through lots of dif-ferent issues."

Other suggested areas for the board to consider include:

• Hiring a consultant on a commission basis to seek cor-porate sponsorships.

• Pay-to-participate extracurricular activities.

S A freeze on textbook pur-chases.

• Across-the-board cuts in supplies and purchases.

• Devising a sinking fond for major maintenance and repair-ing buses.

• Negotiating price reduc-tions from vendors.

• Putting a freeze on nonin-structional staff hiring.

• Dialing down the thermo-stats in all buildings.

• Cutting the school week to four days to save transportation costs.

S Holding large scale fund-raisers for the district through tiie Educational Excellence Foundation.

Superintendent Jim Ryan said earlier that with no foun-dation increase and a 2 percent rise in retirement payment rates, the district would face a $5 million shortfall. If the dis-trict, which has been growing the past several years, receives

"I'm not going to disappear, but I'm going to find something that will give me more flexibili-ty in my schedule and allow me to take care of her," she said. "You only get one chance to take care of your parents, and I want to do that."

While budget issues have been difficult in the recent past for the Board of Education, Staley said her toughest moments are dealing with expulsions of students.

"Expulsion hearings are very, very difficult," she said. "When a kid is in that type of crisis sit-uation, to see that type of fail-ure dose and personal.

"On the upside of that, my favorite thing is a readmittance hearing," added Staley, "when somebody has made a mistake and found a way to turn them-selves around."

Staley said she believes the Plymouth-Canton school dis-trict is poised for greatness.

"Opening three schools in -three years and being able to do it on time and under budget speaks volumes about what we're able to do here," she said. "I think we'll do really well."

There will be two, 4-year seats up for grabs in the June 9 election. Mark Slavens, who is completing a four-year term, said he'll decide in a few weeks whether to seek re-election.

Elections Clerk Elizabeth Adams said election informa-tion will be available at the school administration offices in early March. t b r u s c a t o @ o e . h o m e c o m m . n e t

more new students than antici-pated, Ryan said the increased foundation grant money ($7,025 per student) could push down the deficit to about $3 million.

And, there's the threat by Gov. Jennifer Granholm to cut this year's foundation grant, which could cost Plymouth-Canton nearly a million dollars and reduce its foundation grant next fiscal year.

"If we're going to leave as much money as possiblein the classroom, we're going tohave to look at other areas to cut,"

Ryan has already said there will be layoffs as part of the budget cutting process, which committee member Bill Pratt said is inevitable.

"If we need to cut $5 million from the budget, there's only one way to get it if 87 percent of the budget is people," said Pratt.

liability and property cover-age to its membership. The authority provides member services through a network of in-house professionals and contract service providers specializing in municipal risks.

Authority officials say it will take about a year to assemble the policy arid pro-cedures volume.

"The Canton Police Depar tment has what we feel is a very comprehensive poli-cy book tha t addresses tacti-

cal and operational issues within the department," Santomauro said. "Some of these policies reflect preven-tative measures, such as poli-cies on the use of force, non-lethal force and our pursuit policy."

He said the Canton Police Department 's policies and procedures have evolved over the years. Frequent revisions are necessary to keep pace with a constantly changing law enforcement environ-ment.

Communications, firearms use, property and overall operations are among the areas covered by the depar t -

ment 's policy and procedures guidelines. Policies touch on topics as broad as the hir ing process to areas as narrow as concealed weapon permit procedures.

He said the volume com-piled by the authority will be available to all member com-munit ies who may need help in establishing new proto-cols.

"We're honored that MMRMA has asked us to participate in this project," he said.

Students, Republicans react to Granholm's 1st State of the State BYTONYBRUSCATO STAFF WRITER

As part of her State of the State address Wednesday night, Gov, Jennifer Granholm called for school districts to volunteer to make 40 hours of communi-ty service a requirement for graduation from high school.

"We want to raise young peo-ple who embrace service to oth-ers as a way of life," said Granholm, a Democrat from Northville,

At Plymouth-Canton Educational Park, students who take Close Up, generally in their sophomore year, are required to perform communi-ty service to pass the class.

"If it was 40 hours of whatev-er you choose, I think it would be a good idea," said Ellen'Fritz, 15, of Plymouth, who watched the speech. "I don't think it should be narrowed just toward education. Tutoring was only part of my 20 hours, the rest was helping homeless shelters."

Ryan Harrison, 17, also from Plymouth, doesn't agree with the 40-hour requirement, but believes getting students start-ed in the right direction is a good idea.

"I'm not sure about 40 hours, but maybe something like maybe five or 10 hours," said Harrison. "I had to do 10 hours for U.S. History, but after the 10 hours I did a lot more because I liked it, so I just kept

"You could be home watching TV or playing video games, but instead you're doing something worthwhile" he said. "It's the satisfaction of helping some-one."

Granholm's 55-minute speech also called for the state to set up a corridor to encour-age industries to that deal in auto, life sciences and home-land security technology to locate in the state; inspire foun-dations to pay for early child-hood education; streamline state government % announc-

ing a 4-percent budget cut; and appointing a state surgeon gen-eral.

Some Republicans, including the 7th Senate Districts Bruce Patterson (R-Canton Township), believe Granholm's address included many of the same ideas proposed by the majority party in years past.

"She sounded like a

Republican governor," said Patterson. "Creating a techni-cal tri-corridor, auto fuel cells, life sciences and a prescription drug compact.

"The governor has been in office five weeks, and there are large challenges," he said. "Her attempt to reach out to Republican leadership is very positive. She realizes the work must be bipartisan. I give her high marks."

Canton's freshman state rep-resentative, Phil LaJoy, said he was most interested in the sprawl issue:

"As the vice chair of the House Land Use Committee, I was very interested in hearing more about Gov. Granholm's Land Use Council. On Monday House Republicans announced an aggressive package of pro-posals to protect open space and limit sprawl.

"I was pleased to hear, in many cases, we have similar plans to the ones the governor discussed. I look forward to working in a bipartisan fashion to enact many of these much needed reforms."

Plymouth-Canton Schools Superintendent Jim Ryan was disappointed Granholm didn't address the education budget

"I kept hoping to hear if our foundation grant was going up or would be cut," he said. "There have been mixed sig-nals. During her campaign she said education would be held harmless, and now the reality of cute. If she's going to take some money away, we need to know that now."

BUS FROM PAGE A1

2007-08 school year. "Our fleet is very old, and

becoming increasingly more difficult and expensive to keep on the road," Latnie said. "If we don't invest on the front end by buying new buses now, we'll have to pay on the back end with repair costs that typically triple after the seventh year."

The transportation depart-ment has one bus with nearly 275,000 miles on it, and two others with approximately 220,000. Most of those need-ing replacement have 150,000 miles and more, and some have body rust concerns.

"Some of the buses have poor heat, and you need that in the winter,9 said bus driver Marika Besco, who was driving a spe-cial education bus that had

racked up 174,000 miles. "And, it's a really rough ride. We could use some new buses."

Mike Sprecher of Canton, a relief driver, was excited to hear of the plan for new buses as he was getting his assignment at the bus yard on Mill Street.

"Some of the older buses do need to be replaced... the con-trols aren't as smooth as the newer ones," he said. "Transportation of our kids is very important. They're the future of America,"

The administrative plan calls for spending $130,000 in 1998 bond money to purchase two buses, along with $1.4 million from the 1999bond for an addi-tional 21 vehicles.

District officials are hoping a future bond issue, which could come as early as September, will earmark $3.7 million for 31 more buses. The plan is to then use $770,000 in general fund money, currently being spent annually

for an energy bond, to purchase buses on a yearly basis beginning in the 2007-08 school year.

"It's nice to finally have a draft of a bus replacement plan," said board Treasurer Judy Mardigian, "When a bus inspector says we're going to take buses out of your fleet, because they're too old, I think that becomes a high priori-t y

Latnie is hopefol the board will approve the replacement pro-gram soon in order to thwart any bad news from another state inspection, which is expected this summer.

"It will take six-nine months before we take delivery on our new units, if we ordered them today" he said. "If we don't address our aging fleet, the state inspector could tem-porarily shut us down by fail-ing an inordinate amount of buses when he returns."

record, the function has not yet been enabled, according to Bennett.

Canton's own voter registra-tion system does have that capability, even though the sys-tem in use is rather outdated. But Bennett says every signa-ture on every absentee ballot application is checked against the voter registration file and when the ballots are returned they are also checked.

"If we didn't have that capa-bility on the computer," she said, "we have to check each application and ballot with the card on file."

And that, she said, would be a time-consuming process.

During the last election, between checking absentee applications and ballots for both the primary and general elections, Bennett said her office checked about 24,000 signatures.

LaJoy said his bill would basically be tied to that.

"There have to be some safe-guards," he said. "The QVF needs to be set up to get digi-

tized signatures. That's basical-ly what my bill would be. I intend to work closely with Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land's office to ensure voting

resi-dents."

Bennett said she was in favor of the no-reason absentee bal-lots because she thinks it would be a public service.

SEES B E N E F I T S

"It's a positive thing for the community," she said, "because it helps keep the lines down at the polls. And a lot of our con-stituents travel to other places to work and don't know on that particular day if a traffic accident or something else tied them up and they couldn't get to the polls on time."

She said she was also con-cerned that many voters are being "forced to be untruthful" in requesting absentee ballots.

"Other states do mail-in vot-ing and participation goes up," she said. "That's what our goal is: l b allow everyone a secure nonfraudulent way to partici-pate in the voting process."

A similar attempt to get no-reason absentee ballots was

made in the legislature a few years ago and was pushed by Bennett's husband, then-Sen. Loren Bennett.

"The consensus of the legis-lature at that time was they didn't want to do it," Terry Bennett said. "They were con-cerned about voter fraud. There wasn't a QVF that would allow them to check voter sig-natures"

LaJoy said that with today's technology, he thinks has bill has a good chance of passing.

"Today, it's a different story," he said. jgladden@oe.homecomm.net | (734) 459-2700

TIGERS FROM PAGE A1

"Nobody has treated us bet-ter" "IYammell said Thursday in a call to the Observer from the Padres' stadium. "They are very conscientious, very pro-fessional, Obviously we (the Tigers) have a very good rela-tionship with them going back several years. That says a lot."

Home Travel Consulting on Ford Road in Canton was founded by a 1988 Canton High School graduate, Christopher Home, and his wife Rachel, in 1996. The cou-ple live in Canton with their two small children.

And the Tigers and their farm teams are the Homes' pet client.

"They are not our biggest -client, but certainly the most visible," Chris Home said. They book travel for the Tigers dur-ing the preseason and postsea-son because players live all over. Tiger bookings taper off during the regular season because the team has its own plane.

"I talk with Chris (Home) a lot and Heather (Sutton) the office manager. The way they treat us is outstanding," TVammell said. "I guess it's the warm feeling I get when I talk with them."

Home TVavel specializes in corporate accounts, and last year had gross sales of about $18 million. AlixPartners, a turnaround specialist firm in Southfield, is its biggest client.

"We booked thousands of airline trips a year for Alix," said Christie Mosher, Home TVavel executive.

Although it isn't a big part of its business, Home TVavel is also the official agent for Canton Township employee travel.

Chris Home got started in the travel business as a French interpreter for a Northwest Airlines reservation office.

Later he worked for a travel firm in Birmingham and when

it closed he was able to take some accounts with him including the high-profile Tigers.

The Homes are particularly proud of their testimonials from key clients like TVammell and former Tigers GU Randy Smith: "Home TVavel Consulting has been our travel agency since its conception. We were delighted to be its first corporate account when it opened in 1996"

About 99 percent of the Homes' business comes from commercial and industrial accounts, but they want to get into leisure travel this spring.

"More and more clients are asking us to bopk vacations," Chris Home said. "We expect our area of focus (for family travel) will be the Plymouth and Canton areas."

Home said that his firm was thriving despite 9/11 and despite no commission on tick-ets and auto rentals.

"In spite what the airlines have done, we are growine" Mosher said.

The company makes its money on a fee for each ticket and a high level of service, Chris Home said. Customers can reach their individual records online around the clock and the office is open». a.m. until 8 p.m. every week-day.

Online booking is an obvious competitor, but "80 percent of fares obtained through Web

. sites can be beaten by a good travel agency," Chris Home said.

"If you have to make a change, you have no one to turn tp," Rachel Home said. "It's simple. Without an agent, you really are on your own"

"We are not a phone pool," Mosher added. "Some corpora-tions are steering away from online booking because they can't keep track of expense accounts."

Other details: S Rachel Home is chairman

of the company; Chris is CEO. Mosher,

South Lyon, is president and chief operating officer.

"The addition of our sixth runway, a new access road, convenient park-ing, the new 97-gate McNamara Terminal/Northwest World Gateway and a focus on cus-tomer service has catapulted Detroit Metro from nobody's favorite airport to one of the very best. This represents a lot of teamwork among employees of the airlines and airport authority as well as tenants and vendors."

"Now is not the time to slow down," said Robinson. "Plans for demolition, renovation and reconstruction of the older ter-minal areas are being devel-oped to continue to maintain and improve upon customer

ou mean you haven't been there yet?"

Those words echo among new customers at Trader Joe's in Farmington Hills and Royal Oak.

Those words were muttered to Sylvia Stefanovich by a Mend before she became a self-pro-claimed loyal customer" of Trader Joe's in Royal Oak. Now she's pass-ing that statement on to friends.

"It's amazing how everyone's talk-ing about it," Stefanovich said.

"It's such a fun store. I want

to go there every day and I'm the kind of person who hates grocery shopping, and it's cheap."

On her first visit to the store she took notice of the intentionally wide aisles, cedar walls and organic foods. f

Talk on the streets about Trader Joe's began quietly When it opened in November, but word-of-mouth seems to be getting louder. And that's just what officials from the 40-year-old California-based com-pany expected.

"We rely on word-of-mouth for our success," said Diane O'Connor, . Trader Joe's spokeswoman.

Rich Millis, captain leader of the Farmington Hills location, said what makes TYader Joe's different is its smaller size and that manage-ment doesn't expect that customers shop there exclusively.

"Our store is for people who like to experiment with food," Millis said. "Most people think shopping is a burden and the fact that they cannot get everything they want

HOLIDAY-INSPIRED RECIPES

Looking to cook for a loved one on Valentine's Day?

Try a recipe from Holiday Hearts, A Collection of Inspired Recipes, Gifts and Decorations (Ten Speed Press, $14.95) by chef Pamela Sheldon Johns and designer Jennifer Barry.

Packed with color photos related to the heart, this book contains more than 40 recipes, 15 crafts and a chapter for chil-dren. Mini Heart Frittatas,

Pink Sorbet placed in the cen-ter of a real rose, Parmesan Braided Hearts, Pink Coconut Custard hearts with Hose Petals, and nonedible heart-shaped rose soap are among the heartfelt creations you'll find in the book. Here's a recipe to try.

RED BEET AND RED CHARD RISOTTO

2 bunches (about 155 small fresh

6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Ml chopped onion 2 ounces pancetta, chopped 4 to 5 cups chicken or vegetable

1 pound ruby red chard, washed and julienned

3 cups arborio or carnaroli rice leup dry white wine at room

. temperature 2 tablespoons unsaited butter Salt and freshly ground black

pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 4009F. Lightly oil a medium casserole. In a large saucepan bring three cups of salt-ed water to a boil. Select six of the smallest and prettiest baby beets for garnish and set aside. Trim the roots and stems from the remaining beets and scrub well and quarter lengthwise.

Drop the quartered beets into the water and cook 8 to 12 min-utes until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain; reserving the water and remove the beet skins. Place beets in the prepared casse-role dish with two tablespoons

Maggie's Hand Dipped Chocolate Strawberries are part of the lynch treat at The Vineyard Cafe on Valentine's Day. Some are topped

olive oil added. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast in oven for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside.

Strain the reserved beet cook-ing water and combine it with • the stock in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring to simmer.

In another large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, heat the remaining four tablespoons of olive oil. Add onion and pancetta and cook five minutes until onion is golden brown. Add the chard and cook four to five minutes until soft. With a slotted spoon, remove the chard mix and set aside. In the same pan, add rice and stir three to four min-utes until grain is coated and rice is translucent. Add wine and stir until it's completely absorbed.

Beets are the main vegetable used to make this heart-shaped dish from the book Holiday Hearts, A Collection of Inspired Recipes, Gifts and Decorations.

i add the simmering beet stock, one-half cup at a time and stir frequently to prevent sticking. Wait until the stock is nearly absorbed but never dry on top before adding the next one-half cup. Reserve about one-quarter cup to add at the end. Stir 18 to 20 minutes.

When rice is tender, but still firm turn offbeat and stir in the quartered beets, chard, butter and the remaining stock. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with reserved whole beets. Serve immediately on plate. Spoon rice mix into a heart shape Mid place a beet with stems onto top to mimic the human heart. Serves 6.

P r i c e s G o o d

Trader Joe's "Captain" manager Rich Millis has opened Trader Joe's stores on the West Coast and in Michigan.

Whole Foods. The Royal Oak location is across the street

. f rom Westborn Market. Both stores carry produce. Millis said the store philosophy is not about competition.

"We're in the same market as Whole Foods, but we aren't out to put anyone out ofbusi-ness," he said. "We sincerely believe there's enough business for both."

The attitude at Whole Foods Market, however, was different.

"Whole Foods considers Trader Joe's a competitor and we take that competition seriously because we do share the same customers," said Susan Bellinson, marketing director of Whole Foods stores in Michigan. Another Trader Joe's strong point is the offering of value-priced wine. Combining private labels with relatively

WHAT is rr? What is Trader Joe's? It might be easier to explain what it is not • It's not a regular grocery store although it sells snacks, frozen dinners, meats, fruits, vegetables, desserts, pet food, wine and beer, shampoos and soaps made with natural ingredients. • It's not a discount store even though its prices are competitive with nearby * grocers. For example, frozen strawberries are $1.69 per pound, four ounces of Blue Hills smoked tuna $3.99, pine nuts less than $9 per pound; and one gram of saffron is just $2.99. Artichoke and three cheese ravioli with olives is

Though not stunners, most wines are perfectly fine for everyday drinking.

Millis said Trader Joe's sells products at low prices for several reasons: The company carries the same items at all its nationwide stores; special orders aren't considered; large-quantify purchases gives negotiating power to the company; and

the company says it makes its purchases in cash.

Also, the majority of store items are sold on the TJ's pri-vate label.

FUN THEME

The Farmington Hills store has a lake theme. Wooden paddles mark the numbers of each register and a wall mural is titled "Lake TJ's Farmington HiHs." Hie Royal Oak store also has a nautical theme and Motown music memorabilia. Employees sport Hawaiian shirts and make a point to approach customers with offers of assistance.

"We get about 15 new items in each week, so there's always new things being added," Millis said.

Eccentric Managing Editor Joe Bauman contributed to this story.

$2.99, and four and a half pounds of creamy dark chocolate $7.99. • It's also not a health food , store even though much of the food is organic with a large, but not exclusive, vegetarian and vegan selection. . • And it's not a gourmet market even though it carries Arabica coffee beans and 80 cheeses from the U.S., France, Switzerland, Norway and Italy. It also carries a large selection of flash frozen salmon, snow crab ravioli and Australian free range beef and buffalo burgers. • It's not marketed as a beer and wine store even though it carries both. Trader Joe's is a mix of the above rolled into one.

Bubbles and superb reds for Valentine's Day Pinot noir's freshness and

vibrancy is exceptional in a top-of-the line Brut Rose

champagne. Strawberry and red currant aromas layer in with cherry notes. Long aging on the yeast adds depth to mid-palate flavors and assures a wine that finishes creamy and supple. It makes you say, "yum!"

That's the single word we used to describe the newly released 1996 Moet & Chandon Rose ($60) when we tasted it. It is a perfect Valentine's Day pour.

Harvest 1996 in the champagne region is consid-ered one of the very best in the last few years. Georges Blanck, chef de cave for Moet & Chandon, said it has "excep-tional maturity and amazing freshness." Translation: perfect balance between fruit and acid-ity. These are the prime factors needed to make a heavenly match between the Moet & Chandon Rose and food.

If you don't plan on eating at a restaurant to celebrate Valentine's Day, but opt to cook a special meal, here are some hints from Moet & Chandon. The exotic flavors and spice of the 1996 Moet & Chandon Rose marry well with dishes using black truffles, wild mush-rooms, lemon, soy sauce, mint and mild spices. Create a per-fect match with smoked salmon, crab cakes, lamb, smoked ham and flavorful cheeses such as munster, livarot or mature gouda.

For a bubbly more reminis-cent of a Blanc de Blancs, we suggest the 1996 Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial ($50). Although this wine is 50 per-cent pinot noir, it had less skin contact than the Rose, which

; impression. TVy it with tuna sushi, caviar,

oysters, scallops, crab, grilled or pan-sauteed John Dory, stur-geon or foie gras. It's delightful with French Vacherin cheese, Parmesan or Gorgonzola, wal-nuts or almonds. Match it with dishes where herbs and condi-ments such as mint, citrus vine-gar, sesame, ginger or tarragon are ingredients.

l b pull out all the stops, choose the always magical Dom Perignon champagne. The 1995 has a wide variation in price in this market. We've seen it in fine wine shops from as low as $115 to a high of $140. At Costco, it's $90!

If you prefer sweeter bubbles, then you'll like the Moet & Chandon Imperial Nectar Rose ($48).

SUPERB REDS

New in the Michigan wine market are the sensational Terra Valentine cabernets. Translation: Valentine land. Does it get more perfect? Aside from the ideal name and label design fit, the wines are spec-tacular renditions from the Spring Mountain District of the

All wines mentioned are available in the metro Detroit area. If a retailer does not stock a specific wine, ask that it be ordered from the distributor.

Napa Valley. The 1999 Terra Valentine

Wurtele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon ($50) sings with dark cherry, blackberry, brown spices and chocolate notes. Full, rich and elegantly struc-tured, it finishes with toasty oak notes.

The 1999 Terra Valentine Cabernet Sauvignon, Spring Mountain District ($35) has generous plum aromas and fla-vors, complemented by blue-berry accents with roasted cof-fee and chocolate nuances.

Terra Valentine is a new win-ery founded by Angus and Margaret Wurtele in 1995. Their artisan fieldstone facility is surrounded by steeply sloped vineyards on rocky-clay soil, ideal for cabernet sauvignon. However, Terra Valentine wines are so new to the area, some retailers may not yet stock them. If you're interested, con-tact your favorite wine shop and have them order the wines for you from the distributor L&L Wine World.

' 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon

rind 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 5 Golden Delicious apples, peeled,

cored and thinly sliced 14 sheets fresh or thawed frozen

phyllo 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted 1 cup creme fraiche or sour

cream Confectioners' sugar Combine raisins and rum; set

aside 10 minutes or longer.

Heat oven to 4002 F. Butter a 9-inch-square baking pan. Com-bine granulated sugar, lemon rind and cinnamon; set aside.

Place phyllo sheets between two sheets of waxed paper, then cover with damp towel to prevent

Press phyllo stack into bottom of pan, folding to fit; onto it place half of prepared apples, topped with half of raisin mixture and granulated sugar mixture; spread half the creme fraiche on top. Stack another 4 sheets of phyllo on top of fruit layer, buttering and folding each as before. Top with remaining apples, raisins, sugar mixture and creme fraiche. Stack another 4 sheets of but-tered, folded phyllo on top.

To give the top of the strudel a ruffled effect, butter and stack 2 more sheets of phyllo; cut them into 11/2-inch-wide strips. Gen-tly crumple each strip and place them randomly on top of strudel.

Bake strudel on bottom shelf of oven 25 to 30 minutes or until browned and bubbly. (If top begins to brown too much, cover loosely with aluminum foil.)

Kasha is an easy alternative winter tabbouleh helps fit in five-a-day inaredient with nuttv flavor —

AP - Kasha (roasted buck-wheat kernels) is an ingredient worth remembering when you are looking for nutritional vari-ety in recipes.

Its name comes from its longtime use in dishes tradi-tional to Eastern Europe and Russia. It has good-quality plant protein, and though it looks and tastes like a grain, with a nutty flavor, it comes from a fruit, from the buck-wheat plant - so it can be eaten by people with a sensitiv-ity or allergy to gluten who need wheat-free diets.

Kasha is available at super-markets, sometimes in sections for ethnic foods, or among kosher products.

These easy microwave recipes include a salad and a savory vegetarian pilaf.

GREEK-STYLE KASHA SALAD

(Preparation 10 minutes, cooking time 15 minutes)

tcup whole kasha (see note) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup peeled and diced cucumber 1 cup cherry or grape tomato halves

1/2 cup pitted, sliced black olives . (such as Kalamata) 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

(about 2 ounces) 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic 1/4 cup prepared no-fat Italian

salad dressing

Place kasha in a 2-quart microwavable dish.

Toast in microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir in 2 cups boiling water and salt.

Cover loosely with plastic wrap or waxed paper; microwave on high until liquid is absorbed, about 9 minutes; let stand 2 min-

Uncover; fluff gently with a fork and cool to just warm.

Add cucumber, tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, garlic and salad dressing; toss. Serve at room temperature over lettuce leaves, if desired.

Makes 4 servings (about 41/2 cups).

Note: If you use granulated kasha, coat with 1 beaten egg before microwaving. Nutrition information per serving: 123 cal, 5 g pro., 14 g carbo., 6 g fat, 17 mg chol., 797 mg sodium, 2 g fiber.

If you have tried to achieve "Fiye-a-Day," you know that eating two servings of fruit, the minimum recommenda-tion, is easy, but fitting in the vegetables can be the hard part.

For the fruit, slice a banana over your cereal at breakfast, snack on fruit salad after lunch, and you have done it.

For the vegetables, measure out a half-cup of cooked broccoli and a cup of green salad, and see how mod-est this three-serving goal is for

Visit the Eccentric online at www.observerandeccentric.com

Still, few Americans manage to consume more than one and a half servings of vegetables every day.

So how can eating the recom-mended three servings become easy?

For starters, I always double that cup of salad, because one cup of leafy greens is a puny serving.

Though I like the European way of serving salad after the main course, I have it first, both at home and when eating out, because when I am hungry,

it seems to disappear easily.

When I know I do not have time to cut up vegetables, I cheat by buying them at a salad bar, already cut up. It not only saves time, but lets me buy just a portion or two, which means I will not find yellowing or yucky vegetables in the cor-ners of Hie refrigerator a week later.

If I have ten minutes to chop up some stuff, I make mug soup.

For this, I cut broccoli into florets, or peel and dice a but-ternut squash, and put it in a pot with a diced onion and some cumin for the broccoli, or cinnamon and ginger for the squash.

Add three cups of water and cook, covered, until everything is soft, about 20 minutes.

Puree it and you will have a sippable soup.

A big mugful, equalling two servings of veggies, goes down in a blink.

When there is more time to cook, ratatouille and other vegetable stews are my favorites.

They taste so good that eat-ing a cup and a half, your three servings of vegetables, is a treat.

I also love interesting salads. I call this one Winter T&bbouleh because it includes little broccoli florets and an apple.

Besides adding wintery fla-vor, they make this salad sub-stantial enough to be a light meal.

Winter Tabbouleh is substantial enough to be a light meal.

parts, thinly sliced 1/2 cup chopped mint 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice,

pepper, to taste

Set aside for 30 minutes. Line sieve with a double layer of cheesecloth or paper towels. Pour bulgur into the sieve and drain well. Using paper towels and your hands, squeeze bulgur to extract as much excess moisture as possible. Return bulgur to the bowl.

Cook broccoli in boiling water for 1 minute. Transfer broccoli to a colander and run ice cold water over it to stop cooking and set its color. Drain well and add to the bowl of bulgur.

Add tomatoes, apple, scailions, mint and oil. Using a fork, toss until well combined. Season to taste with lemon juice, salt and pepper. This salad keeps 1 to 2 days if covered in the refrigerator. Makes about 8 servings.

Spaghetti Chicken is a one-pot dish that you cook once, for two meals.

In a hurry? Cook once, serve

BY DANA JACOB!

Spaghetti Chicken sounds like a four-year-old confiding the name of his or her favorite dish. Still I came up with this creation in the days when shar-ing the rent and grocery bills with a roommate was a necessi-ty. It remains a favorite comfort food that's both convenient and economical, features we all still prize.

Convenience first. Spaghetti Chicken is a one-pot dish that you cook once, for two meals. Well, maybe it is a three-pot dish, if you include the skillet for making the chicken, a pot for boiling the spaghetti and a saucepan for the soup that uses the leftover chicken. As for the economic virtues, the key ingredient is not only inexpen-sive, it lets you use about one and a half pounds of meat to feed four people, twice.

As comfort food, pasta topped with savory, homemade sauce, mushrooms and freshly cooked chicken rates high at my house. I usually use the left-over white meat in soup, most often combined with vegetables and beans or rice, or both -another comfort food.

Healthy eating is another virtue of this dish. Spaghetti Chicken provides lean protein for two meals, plus one to two servings of vegetables, along with a grain, the first time around. If you like, increase the amount of vegetables the sec-ond time around. (I have added frozen green peas, leftover fresh com sliced off the cob, sliced zucchini, chopped spinach, even canned beans to this dish.)"

Requiring relatively little time in the kitchen, this dish works equally well with whole wheat or the regular, semolina type of pasta. Sometimes I use rice instead, either white or brown, or spoon the chicken and sauce over polenta.

SPAGHETTI CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOM SAUCF

1 split, skinless chicken breast with ribs (2 halves)

4 skinless chicken thighs 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 1 garlic clove, minced 1/4 lb. crimini or white mush-

rooms, thickly sliced 1 can (28 oz.) diced tomatoes 1 tsp. dried oregano 1/2 tsp. dried basil Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional) Salt and freshly ground black

pepper, to taste 1/2 lb. spaghetti or iinguini 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmi-

giano-Reggiano (Parmesan) cheese (1 oz.)

Coat a large, non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Set pan over medium-high heat. Brown chick-en lightly, about eight minutes, turning pieces occasionally, so it colors on all sides. Transfer chicken to a plate. Heat oil in the pan. Saute onions and garlic until translucent, about four minutes. Add mushrooms. Saute until they release liquid, about four min-utes. Add tomatoes with their liq-uid, oregano, basil, and pepper flakes, if using. Season with salt and pepper. Return chicken to skillet. Simmer until chicken is white at the bone, about 40 min-utes, turning it after 25 minutes.

- TVahsfer chicken pieces to plate. When they are cool enough to handle, pull all the meat from the bones. Them will be about eight ounces, qf white meat and six ofdark meat Set aside the dark meat for Chicken Spaghetti. Cover the rest, and refrigerate, to use another time. Cwk pasta accord-ing to package directions. Divide it among four bowls. If necessary, reheat sauce in the skillet When hot,, add reserved shredded chick-en. Spoon sauce over pasta. Sprin-kle with cheese and serve.

Spartans take down Salem in hockey war

L

' - PAUL HURSCHMANN | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Salem's Jeff Harris (19) squeezes between Stevenson's Jamey Messer (11) and Jimmy Nawrocki (21) In Friday night's hotly contested hockey game. The Spartans edged the Rocks, 4-2.

BY BRAD MONASTIERE STAFF WRITER

Good, things came in twos — twice — for Livonia Stevenson's hockey team.

On two occasions, the Spartans scored two goals with-in a minute of each other, and it turned out to be enough to earn a 4-2 win over Plymouth Salem in a Western Lakes Activities Association game Friday night at the Plymouth Cultural Center.

The win gives Stevenson the Lakes Division champi-onship, and improves its record to 12-7-1 overall and 4-1-1 within the division. The Rocks fall to 16-3-1 and 3-2-1 with the loss.

The game was fast-paced, hard hitting, and — mostly in the second and third periods — chippy on both sides. The teams were whistled for a combined nine penalties in the last 6:03 of the second period, and Salem was called for eight penalties in the third period alone, which played a big factor in the outcome, according to coach Fred Feiler.

"I don't care who you are, it's almost impossible to survive when you get called for that many penalties in one period," he said after the game. "We spent so much energy trying to kill penalties, it took away from our ability to win."

The Spartans, who played with a lot of hustle and energy throughout the game, used a quick-strike offense to grab the lead early and late in the game.

Senior forward Justin Dunn made a pair of beautiful moves and scored off a backhand just 2:28 into the game to give the Spartans an early 1-0 lead.

Just 34 seconds later, senior Brian Shekell swept in a

David Hoskins, a 6-foot-4 senior guard, led the Rocks with 23 points and 12 rebounds. Junior forward Brad Clark contributed nine points, while Brian Bradley and Stevland Davis added seven apiece.

Stevenson led 16-15 after one period, but Salem roared back with a 15-6 run in the second quarter and an 18-11 run in the third quarter.

"We played solid on bo th ends of the floor," Salem coach Bob Brodie said. "I don ' t know if i t was our

defense, bu t Stevenson,did not shoot .well.

"We got a lot of support from our bench. All nine players are playing well right now."

Seniors Brady Crosby and Brandon Chitwood each scored 12 for the Spartans, who were 18-of-25 from the foul line (72 percent). Salem was ll-of-18 (61 percent).

Salem loses close net battle with Walled Lake Central Although it was a loss, Salem's vol-

leyball match at Walled Lake Central did provide some benefits.

The Rocks did manage to top the Vikings in the first game, 16-14, before falling in the next two, 15-8, 15-8. The defeat left Salem with an 18-7 record overall, 4-2 in the Western Lakes Activities Association.

Rocks' coach Tom Teeters wasn't all that happy with the first game, even though Salem won it. "We were up 11-5,12-6,13-8 and 14-10," he noted. "Blocking was a key factor for us in that first game. Alyssa Boroway had three blocks and Nicole Genrich had two."

Amanda Bradley served the final two points of the game. After that, however, Salem's mistakes began to take their toll.

VOLLEYBALL

"Too many errors, ball-handling mistakes," said Teeters. "But we learned a lot. We're going to make quite a few changes."

Among them are shuffling the hit-ting positions and trying to get the full benefit from the team's strengths.

"Our setting is strong with Jordan (Falcusan), we've got to take advan-tage of that. And we've got to improve defensively. That can change in substitutions."

Ellen Canale led the Rocks with 12 kills in the match. Bradley had 10 and Lauren Price nine. Falcusan fin-ished with 24 set assists.

"They're a little better than us," said Teeters of Central. "They're not

overly talented, but they're stronger in a few positions.

"We've just got to get away from our high error rate, especially at key times."

Salem has just three conference matches left, all against Western Division foes, so whatever tinkering Teeters has planned better work quickly.

AGAPE TOPS CALVARY CHRISTIAN

After a sluggish start, Canton Agape Christian got rolling and defeated Ypsilanti Calvary Christian 15-11,15-9 Thursday at Discovery Middle School.

The win boosted the Wolverines record to 12-7 overall.

"We started out a bit slow, then picked it up," said Agape coach

Gretchen Sexton — a description which could apply to the Wolverines' start to the season (they were 6-6 at one point).

"We changed up our lineup a bit, from a 4-2 to a 5-1 with Emily (Tong) setting," Sexton explained. "That got us going."

Tong finished with 20 set assists. The player she set to the most was Lisa Ther, who responded by col-lecting 12 kills. A.J. Creps had four kills.

The previous Saturday (Feb. 1), Agape finished third at the Harper Woods Lutheran East Invitational. Playing 20-point rally scoring matches, the Wolverines beat Center Line in their pool-play opener in the tiebreaker (total points scored), 15-20, 20-8.

They followed that with a 20-10,

20-11 win over Ecorse and a 20-14, 20-12 tr iumph over Trinity Catholic. They lost their last match in pool play to the host Eagles, 20-4, 20-13.

Agape's second-place finish in their pool put them in the tourna-ment semifinals against Adrian Lenawee Christian, but the Wolverines were no match for the Cougars, who won 20-11, 20-12. Lenawee eventually beat Lutheran East in the tournament final.

Agape met Warren Zoe Christian in the consolation final and won, 20-12, 20-12. Ther led the Agape attack with 42 kills; she also had nine digs and four aces in the tournament. Tong finished with 55 set assists, and Amy Henry had 10 service aces and eight digs. Creps had nine kills and four aces.

Ocelots number-crunch OCC, 107-62 Here's some key numbers

from Wednesday's Oakland CC-at-Schoolcraft College men's basketball game:

Eighty-three and 66. 52 and 20. 20 and 8. 50"and 30.18 and 25.

So what does all that add up to? A107-62 victory for Schoolcraft College, ranked fourth in the NJCAA Division I with a 22-1 overall record.

The numbers also provide the difference between first place in the Michigan Community College Athletic Association's Eastern Conference — which SC is with a 9-0 record — and ninth place (out of 10 teams), which is where OCC is with a 2-8 mark (4-19 overall).

Now for those numbers. The first set is the number of shots taken by each team, SC getting off 83 to just 66 for the Raiders. That helps one understand why the score at halftime — reflect-ed in the second set of num-bers, 52-20 ™ was so lopsided in SC's favor. Then there's that third set of figures: the number of baskets by SC (20) and OCC (8) in the first half.

The last two sets of numbers are just as telling. The Ocelots had a 50-30 edge in rebound-ing, and they committed 18 turnovers to 25 by the Raiders.

If more is needed numerical-ly, try these on: 24, 22, 20,14 and 12. Those are the points produced by SC's top five scor-ers in the game. Tovoris Baker scored 24 (to go with 11 rebounds and four steals), Marcus Bennett netted 22 (with six assists and two steals), James Homes finished with 20 (and three steals), Andre Scott got 14 (and seven rebounds) and Ronald Dorsey scored 12 (with nine boards and three

OCC was paced by Kyle Lawrence with 20 points, six assists and six steals; Romel Murray with 18 points; Craig Myree with 10 seven rebounds and three steals.

SC plays a key game at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Flint Mott CC, second in the conference at 7-2 (16-7 overall).

women escape win over OCC

Schoolcraft College guard Jazmyne Forster (10) moves ball upcourt with Oakland CC's Dana Millard in pursuit.

The first time these two women's basketball teams met, Oakland CC got the better of Schoolcraft College and beat the Lady Ocelots on a last-second shot.

In Wednesday's rematch at SC, the outcome could not be decided in regu-lation time. The overtime session fea-tured just three baskets, two by OCC -and one of those a three-pointer. And yet it was the Ocelots who emerged with an 86-82 victory, and they did it by reversing a trend they had followed through the first 40 minutes.

The win was a big one for SC, improving its overall record to 15-7 and tying the Ocelots for second in the Michigan Community College Athletic Association's Eastern Conference with OCC, both at 8-2. The Lady Raiders are 17-6 overall. Flint Mott CC leads the conference at 8-1 (14-7 overall).

SC beat OCC at the free-throw line. After converting just 12-of-25 from the stripe during regulation (48 percent), the Ocelots knocked down 9-of-il in OT (81.8 percent). OCC was 17-of-20 at the line for the game (85 percent).

Pam Wingate was the key offensive figure for SC, converting 15-of~18 from the floor (83 percent) and scoring a game-high 32 points. Wingate also had six rebounds, three blocked shots and three steals.

Crystal Pittman added 18 points, eight boards and three assists, and Mia Henderson finished with 11 points and seven rebounds. Tara Charles had eight points and five assists.

The Lady Raiders were led by Ashlee Larsen with 15 points; Meagon Thornsberry with 14 points, 12

rebounds and five assists; Tiffany Burt with 14 points, 12 boards and three steals; and Dana Millard with 14 points, five assists and four steals. Larissa Taylor and Lea Anttila added nine points apiece.

The game was dose throughout, OCC leading 37-35 at the half, with 18 lead changes and 13 tied scores. However, the Raiders were plagued by foul prob-lems; Thornsberry, Burt, Taylor and Jillyn Stork all fouled out. No SC player had more than three fouls.

Madonna 68, Siena Heights 53: Balanced scoring and strong work on the boards were key factors in Madonna University's lopsided win over Siena Heights Wednesday at Madonna,

The win gave Madonna a 7-17 overall record, 5-4 in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference. The Saints are 6-21 overall, 2-7 in the WHAC.

Five players reached double figures in scoring for the Crusaders, who led 41-31 at halftime. Sarah Thomson was a major contributor, coming off the bench to make 6-of-7 floor shots and score a team-high 13 points in just 15:44 of playing time. Jackie Pingston, Loriann Tschirhart and Courtney Rehbine each netted 11 points, Tschirhart adding seven assists and two steals and Pingston getting three steals, and Lindsay Simmon had 10 points, seven rebounds and three steals.

Siena Heights got 17 points apiece from Nicole Coffey and Megan Wachtman.

Madonna had a 39-23 rebounding advantage, including a 21-10 edge on the offensive glass.

outscored Southfield 15-5. "When we got the lead, they

couldn't play zone on us and we were able to stretch the lead," said PCA coach Doug Taylor. "In the second half, we did a great job of boxing out, and we held them to one shot most of the time."

Senior center Ben Pew led the way for PCA with 23 points and 11 rebounds; Senior for-ward Clay Welton also played well, scoring 15 with eight boards and five assists. Dan Carty added 12 points and eight rebounds, while Lew Tripp » played tough inside with six blocks and five rebounds, all in the second half.

PCA is now 6-8 overall and 3-5 in the Michigan Interscholastic Athletic Conference.

Shamrocks fry Rice Redford Catholic Central

earned a win and got a bonus on Friday night as the Shamrocks beat Birmingham Brother Rice as well as clinch-ing second place in the Catholic League's Central Division.

CC's triumph over the Warriors gave the Shamrocks a 5-3 mark in the division and, coupled with Warren De La Salle's win over Harper Woods Notre Dame, means they'll be the second seed when the Catholic League playoffs start next Sunday at Calihan Hall.

But Waterstradt returned in the fourth quarter to score

eight ofliis 21 points as the Shamrocks (8-6 overall) pulled away. He also had 16 rebounds, while Dave Herberholz had 22 points with five 3-pointers, and Jim Cash kicked in with 16 points and 10 rebounds.

Brad Brinkman led Rice (5-11,0-8 Central) with 12 points, while Kyle Hoover had 10.

Agape edges Calvary Matt Ratcliff didn't score a

lot of points Thursday at Ypsilanti Calvary Christian, but his last basket was a big one.

Ratcliff scored at the buzzer to lift the Wolverines to a dra-matic 48-47 win over the Eagles. Agape improves to 11-5 with the win; Calvary Christian is 12-4.

The Wolverines overcame a three-point deficit after one

third rebound shot to double the lead to 2-0. Salem goaltender Brandon DeMars made two big saves in traffic, each with long rebounds. He was unable to save the third rebound shot.

Stevenson put another 1-2 punch together to win the game in the third period. Junior forward Stu Miller banked in a shot from a deep angle in the corner for the game-winning tally with 8:15 left in the third period.

TWenty-nine seconds later, Jared Gaudet broke up the right side and snuck in a backhand shot that bounced around before sliding past the goal line to put the Spartans up two.

Stevenson coach Mike Humitz said his team responded to the chippy sec-ond-period play very well in the third period.

"We've been stressing discipline all year along, and not letting our emotions get the best of us," he said. "I told the guys they could either suck it. up or lose

the game. They spent the rest of the intermission talking among themselves, and I'm proud of the way they respond-ed."

Salem captain Mark Nagel banged in a rebound shot to close the game to 2-1 with 6:23 left in the first period. Senior Jeff Harris tied the game at 2-2 with a power-play goal with 5:18 left in the second period.

The Spartans didn't have territorial control of the game through the first two periods, though they were the more physically aggressive of the two teams.

Twenty penalties were called in the final two periods, including a pair of 10-minute misconducts called on the Eocks.

Humitz said the win and division title is a big feather in the team's cap, espe-cially with districts looming just a cou-ple weeks away.

"Salem is a skilled team," Humitz said. "Our plan was just to make safe plays and limit their quality scoring chances, which we did."

Stevenson has a tough test Tuesday, taking on Grosse Pointe North.

defensively in the third period to pull out a non-league win.

After falling behind Ann Arbor Pioneer 2-1, t i e Rocks rallied for three straight goals to pull out a 4-2 win in Ann Arbor.

CC icers hold off Trenton, 3-1 BY PAUL BEAUDRY

STAFF WRITER

Playing tough teams during the regular season can only help once the state playoffs start later this month.

And if that philosophy proves true, Catholic Central can look to Wednesday's game at Trenton as one of the rea-sons it is a favorite to win its fifth-straight state crown.

The Shamrocks jumped out early, then weathered Trenton opportunities and a barrage of second-period penalties to hold on a beat the host TYojans, 3-1.

"It was a very good game," • said CC co-coach Todd Johnson. "Games like this are why we try to play a tough schedule down the stretch. We handled our one-goal lead well in the third period."

CC jumped out to a 2-0 first-period lead on a goal by Brandon Naurato (from Eric Giosa and Travis Hamway) eight minutes into the game, then Hamway scored on a power-play (from Naurato and Andrew Eggert) four minutes later.

But Trenton went after CC in the second period, peppering them with shots and playing off CC mistakes. However, the TYojans (11-2-5) only nicked CC for one goal from Derek Cranford to tighten the game at 2-1.

"TYenton did a good job of weathering the storm at 2-0 because if we got the third goal, it would have hurt them," said Johnson. "In the second period we took some penalties we shouldn't have and had some calls go against us we weren't too thrilled with. Our

penalty killing held us in the game."

CC held TYenton to a couple of scoring chances in the third period, and Giosa scored an empty-net g o d from Naurato and Eggert with a second left to end the scoring.

Andrew Godoshian won his first start in goal for CC and stopped 25 of 26 shots, while Ben Trosian made 23 saves for TYenton.

On Friday, the Shamrocks played another tough team - Gates Mills (O.) Gilmour Academy - and for the third time this season outside Michigan, went down to defeat.

Gilmour scored two times in the third period to stop CC, 4-3, and drop the Shamrocks to 15-3 overall.

"We didn't play with the same intensity as we did with TYenton," said Johnson. "They scored every time we made a mistake."

Naurato opened the scoring on a power-play g o d from ' Giosa and Eggert four minutes into the second period, but Gilmour scored the next two to take the lead.

Reinhardt scored the equal-izer with 30 seconds left in the second period from Coldren and Eggert, but Gilmour came back with two more in the third period.

Reinhardt cut the lead to 4-3 with 1:43 left in the game from Coldren and Nathan Perkovich, but could come no closer. The Shamrocks did outshoot Gilmour, 31-18, with CC goalie Jimmy Blanchard making 14

Madonna to expand sports programs by two next year BY C. J . RISAK

STAFF WRITER

For the first time in five years, Madonna University's athletic

is The school will add men's

tennis and men's golf for the 2003-04 school year, bringing its total to nine intercollegiate sports — five for men, four for women.

"This has been in the plan-ning stages since the first of the year," Madonna Athletic Director Bryan Rizzo said. "We wanted to add sports. I'm excited about it. I think that golf and tennis can thrive here at Madonna and in the com-munity"

The last sport added to Madonna's list was women's soccer in 1998. That team excelled quickly, reaching the NAIA finals in 2001.

The reason tennis and golf were chosen had much to do with cost. Rosters for both teams are small, which should keep expenses low. Rizzo added there will be limited

scholarship help, "like all of our sports."

And although both are men's sports teams, they should not be affected by Title IX "because the number of ath-letes we're adding is low."

Other sports were consid-ered. "I wanted to add cross country," Rizzo said, "but this seemed a better fit."

The reason: The Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference, which Madonna belongs to, will lose TVi-State University after this school year and Spring Arbor in 2004. That will take the WHAC down to six schools, the minimum needed for a conference to receive an automatic berth in NAIA tournaments.

"It was a main impetus, to help the health of the confer-ence," Rizzo said.

At present, Siena Heights, Cornerstone and Aquinas have men's tennis and golf teams. It's hoped Indiana Tech and Concordia will add them in the not-too-distant future.

It is also hoped other schools

will join the WHAC. Those „ under consideration at present are Rochester College, University of Michigan-Dearborn and Davenport College (located in Grand Rapids).

Both of Madonna's new sports will play in the spring; golf will also play in the fall, when the WHAC holds its sea-son. Where the teams will play is still in the works, but the golf team will likely call St. John's in Plymouth Township its home course.

The tennis team will proba-bly practice at the Farmington Tennis Club, while matches could be at the Livonia YMCA.

The search for coaches for both teams is in progress. Anyone interested in the posi-tions, and any interested golfers or tennis players, should contact Rizzo at (734) 432-5604, by email at briz-zo© madonna.edu, or by mail at 36600 Schoolcraft Road, Livonia, MI 48150.

When Frank Gudan was in fourth grade, he first noticed his hands trembling uncontrollably. Teachers

complained of his poor penmanship, and when his parents sought medical help, the doctor had no answers. Finally, when the 64-year-old West Bloomfield residenl was 30, he received the diagnosis of essential tremor.

While it is the most common neurolog-ical disorder, affecting 10 million Americans, most people - including some physicians - know nothing about it. It is called "essential" because it is not related to any other disease prqcess or disorder. It is a hereditary condition that involves the upper extremities, most typi-cally beginning with the hands. It may remain stable or progress, usually affect-ing in descending order the arms, head, neck and voice.

Dr. Fred Junn, Henry Ford Hospital neurosurgeon and director of movement disorder surgery, has seen many cases of essential tremor (ET).

"The patient usually has great difficult^ doing anything that involves finger movement," he said.

Though many other diseases, some medications, and drug and alcohol with-drawal can cause tremors, ET is distin-guishable because it is an action or inten-tion tremor.

"When you want to do something, as you approach your final target, the tremor becomes more evident. And at rest when relaxed, you have no tremor," said Junn, who explained that in Parkinson's disease/for example, a per-son will tremor at rest.

While treatments are available for ET, it is chronic and not curable. Medications are used toy<i>ntrol the tremors, and sur-gery is also an option. Some commonly used medications are Inderal, Mysoline, or Klonipen.

Junn believes surgery is a reasonable decision when a person's job is compro-mised, or when tremors seriously inter-fere with feeding, writing, buttoning one's clothes and fine movement. Yet, the decision is up to the patient.

"They don't die from tremor," Junn said, "but with surgery, they could die from hemorrhage."

Other risks from surgery include

damage to the structures around the surgical area in the brain's thalamus, which could lead to memory problems, numbness, stroke-like symptoms or weakness.

There are two surgical procedures for ET. One is a thalamotomy, during which a lesion is made in the thalamus, the large structure at the base of the brain that is responsible for transmission of sensory impulses to the cerebral cortex and is involved in control of movement '

Shari Finsilver of West Bloomfield has been al smiles since having brain surgery for essential tremor, a debilitating movement disorder, finsilyer's symptoms have been greatly reduced.

Junn calls thalamotomy "a one-shot deal."

The other procedure is called Deep Brain Stimulation, or DBS. During DBS, electrodes are implanted into the thala-mus and a device is installed under the skin. Electrical leads are hooked up to a pulse generator, and the thalamus is con-

tinuously stimulated. Similar to a cardiac pacemaker, the device requires new bat-teries every three to five years.

NEW LIFE

After suffering from tremors since she was 11 years old, Shari Finsilver, now 52, had DBS surgery in 1999 by Junn and said it changed jier life.

" I am now able to eat or drink in pub-lic, write a letter by hand, use scissors. My social life was greatly curtailed (before surgery). I couldn't do all the things people take for granted," Finsilver said. "When you have ET, you think you're weird. Almost every person diag-nosed with ET thinks they're the only one."

While the tremor can-be mild, it can get to a point of severity that completely disables the sufferer. Many become housebound and are afraid to go o u t

Finsilver tried many therapies to help with her tremor before considering sur-gery, including acupuncture, homeopa-thy, chiropractic, hypnotherapy, exercise, diet, and regression therapy. While she has incorporated some of these into her lifestyle, none helped with the tremors to any significant degree.

Prior to surgery, Finsilver became an expert at hiding her tremors and feared two likely future events: walking her

Goodbye to cigarettes... a heartfelt effort for Valentine's Day BY SANDRA DALKA-PRYSBY CORRESPONDENT

On Valentine's Day, I'm going to give those I love the best gift ever. At the same time, I'm going to do something wonder-ful for myself and my heart.

I'm giving up smoking cigarettes and my 23-year-old son, Andrew Prysby, is joining me in this challenge.JWe've both decided that we er* with lungs filled with smoke. So Feb. 14 is D (Desist)-Day.

I've given up smoking many times dur-ing my 34 years as a smoker. (This is my son's first serious attempt) One time, however, proved to be the most successful effort I was smoke-free for almost three . years. What was so amazing about this was that at the time I didn't want to end this bad habi t A friend dragged me to a group hypnosis session at The Community House in Birmingham because she needed support I walked out of this meeting and discarded my cigarettes. (She did, too.)

Stupidly, I started smoking again to relieve stress and to have a tool to help

with weight loss. Smoking didn't work for either. I continued to be stressed and to gain weight.

Now, it's bad? to the same hypnotist, Jim Hoke of Mind

His other self-improvement services include stress/anxiety control, success motivation and phobia elimination.

Hoke, who has hypnotized hundreds of groups of smokers for the American Lung Association nationally (with a success rate of 70 percent according to the ALA), says "the rational part of your mind shouts 'quit' while the emotional part screams out for the physical and psychological lift of a ciga-rette. To convert yourself to a nonsmoker, you must get the emotional part of your mind to agree with your intellectual desire to qui t This is how hypnosis helps."

He explains that becoming a nonsmoker is not an easy task because smokers equate this habit to oral, physical and manual gratification. "It's fun. It symbolizes relax-ation and reduced tension."

During his hypnotic sessions, he repro-grams the brain to focus on the positive aspects ofbeing a nonsmoker and the real-ity - which most smokers know - of the damage caused, especially to the health, by

daughter down the aisle when she married, and caring for grandchildren. She has mas-tered both because of DBS.

SUPPORT GROUP

In April 2000, empowered with information and a success-ful outcome, Finsilver began a support group to help educate and assist those with ET and. other disorders that result in tremors. One of her group's goals is to help others feel they are not alone.

"People really change by com-

ing to the group and meeting others who know what you're going through," said Finsilver.

Finsilver's father also had ET, and of her two children, a son and daughter, her son has a mild case of ET in his hands.

There is a definite genetic link although spontaneous cases also occur. l f a parent has ET, there is a 50 percent chance of each child inheriting ET. Typically, ET begins in one's 20s or 50s, although it can occur at any age. While experts believe it to be rare in children, Finsilver has met many people in her group who had ET as children.

TREATABLE CONDITION

Oak's Beaumont Hospital, is a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders, which include Parkinson's disease and tremors. LeWitt calls ET a very treatable condition and believes that inexpensive medication used on a regular basis does a good job of controlling the tremor.

LeWitt said ET is often over-looked, and a family practition-er may not even be familiar with it. Also, it may be passed off as benign and disregarded even if it is recognized. r

"Some patients i r e burdened when the doctor doesn't tell them what it is, and (patients) suspect they have multiple scle-rosis or Parkinson's disease. Or, l U S l O i w m i w v . . .

Dr. Peter LeWitt, of Royal their physician says tK&yhave

mild case of Parkinson's and are told not to worry about it, which they will do when they learn what Parkinson's is about, and yet they don't have it," said LeWitt. • •

Though not anxiety-related, LeWitt said often sufferers are pegged as nervous, anxious people, or even alcoholics.

It affects men and women equally, and strikes all races. The older one is at onset, the more likely there will not be an identified family trait of ET. While everyone experiences some tremor, with ET there is an exaggerated amount.

During his seven years at Beaumont, LeWitt said there have been more than 200 cases of DBS surgery. "It is quite

miraculous," he said. "It's the end of tremor for most people long after they've given up hope"

In his private practice in Southfield, LeWitt is currently doing clinical research on new. medication approaches for tremor, and he says Beaumont is one of the leading centers for treatment of bad tremors.

Finsilver sits on the board of the International Essential Tremor Foundation, and LeWitt is on the medical advi-sory board, and both recom-mend contacting this organiza-tion for information.

For those with ET and other tremor disorders, finsilver offers, "Just come to the sup-port group one time and you

pan get enough information to be able to cope on a daily basis."

She also emphasized the importance of proper diagnosis by a movement disorders spe-cialist such as Junn or LeWitt.

Frank Gudan has learned numerous coping skills for dealing with his ET. When he visits a restaurant for example, he tells the waitress he has a tremor and asks her to fill his coffee cup only two-thirds full, so he can better handle it. He exercises to keep his muscles strong and maintains a positive outlook on life.

"I don't hide my t remor;peo-ple notice it," Gudan said. I believe in admitting it, and you don't need to make a big deal with it. Enjoy life."

Editor "Hamtramck: The Driven City," part of the "Making of America Series," by Greg Kowalski) (Arcadia Publish-ing, Augusta, Maine, July 2002, $24.99)

BY KEELY KALESKl

S T A F F W R I T E R

Surrounded by Detroit's inner city, Hamtramck's gritty yet refined, home to artists and poets, factory workers, profes-sionals, and immigrants. It's a hip place to live, and property values are increasing.

Hamtramck's prospering while other Rust Belt cities gasp for air. It's "The Driven City," one of Greg Kowalski's favorite topics, and the subject of his newly published book.

"People have a real affection for Hamtramck," said Kowalski who was bora there, and con-tinues to make the city his home.

"I don't care where you go, Hamtramck is still'home. We have former residents every-where. Iget e-mail from all over the country every day from former Hamtramckans."

His dayjob is editor of the Birmingham Eccentric; his hobby is collecting Hamtramck memorabilia and working to preserve the city's history. Since 1998 he's served as chairman of the Hamtramck Historical Commission.

"We constantly look around for material. When the com-mission was formed we had nothing, the city had thrown out its history, or neglected it" said Kowalski adding he's even gone through Dumpsters look-ing for information.

Founded as a township in 1798, pieces of Hamtramck were slowly annexed by Detroit until the area, that once reached from the Detroit River

: north to Eight Mile Road, west to Woodward Avenue and east to the Grosse Pointes, was only 2.2 square miles big. Its popu-

• Visit the Hamtramck Historical Commission Web site, hamtramckhistory.org • Mark your calendar -look for Kowalski's Hamtramck: Soul of a City, part of Aradia Publishing's "The Images of America Series" this summer.

Greg Kowalski, author, and editor of the Birmingham Eccentric, shows off his newly published book at Urban Break coffeehouse In Hamtramck.

Dodge Main in 1910, swelled from 2,559 people to 56,000 by 1930. It's now about 23,000.

Kowalski chose automotive metaphors to take readers for a spin around his hometown. After all, he says, the car indus-try is what built Hamtramck.

Reading each chapter is like turning the Corner of a street you'll want to investigate. Historic and current photos, some of them taken by Kowalski, offer a glimpse of the city today, and yesterday when round steak was 16 cents a pound and eggs sold for 25 cents a dozen at Val Magielski's Victory Market on Conant,

. . Kowalski doesn't recite Hamtramck's history, he inter-prets it, and tells a story.

The Communist Party was

headquartered in Hamtramck for many years, and most labor histories of Detroit include something about the city.

Educational reforms intro-duced by superintendent Maurice Keyworth in 1923 -special education, involving parents in their child's educa-tion, adult education, and medical services - were adopt-ed by schools across the coun-try.

During Prohibition you could get a drink in Hamtramck, and the Purple

> Gang sometimes visited. Political corruption was not uncommon, and local politics are still pretty intense.

The city is still known for its clubs, and has always had a thriving downtown business district.

But some things are chang-

ing. Once predominantly Polish, Hamtramck has attracted new immigrants from Bosnia, Yemen, Albania, and India which are helping

drive the city in new direc-tions.

"I won't leave Hamtramck," said Kowalski "It's a giant apartment building where you can sit in your living room and watch your neighbor's TV. The houses were built on 30 foot lots. You have to be able to adapt to that lifestyle. I've never had a driveway."

tried searching for a box of slides or set of prints from

many photographers regard the filing and storage of negatives, slides and prints as a disheart-ening task to be avoided.

Imagine how convenient it would be to have an organized filing system, to have your prints

and negatives orderly, neat and available at a finger's touch. It's easier than you might think.

Cardboard boxes, throughout, the years, will emit discernible amounts of gases and peroxides that will tarnish the silver in films and prints causing fading and loss of picture detail.

The same is true for brown paper envelopes often used to hold prints and negatives. Glue in the seams of many envelopes can cause discoloration if they

how to avoid these dangers

1 and assure the safety of a pho-

tographer's most valuable pos-sessions — his or her pictures.

NEGATIVES: Care in pre-serving your prints must natu-rally begin with your negatives. This is easily done by storing them in transparent polyethyl-ene holders which in turn can be stored in vinyl binders. Larger negatives can be placed in poly-ethylene sleeves and housed in small steel cabinets.

Polyethylene will resist mois-ture and will not decay or grow misty with age. Furthermore, contact sheets can be made of the negatives without having to remove them from the holders. ,

PRINTS: Sunlight fades and bleaches some color prints. So

be sure to use or request papers with archival properties. This way, they will last for many years without fading and will give you prints of superior quality.

When mounting your prints, be sure to use acid-free rag board.

Acids in regular mounting boards will eventually cause dis-coloration to not just the board but to your print, too.

. When buying a photo album, make sure the pages are made of an acid-free material.

Finally, never hang photo-graphs (or any artwork) where direct sunlight will strike them.

SLIDES: The biggest enemy to color slides is moisture. In an

Bank on the Outer Banks for beachcombing BY NORMA AND WENDY SCHONWETTER

If you thought you had to go to Florida to enjoy 70-degree days at the beach in February, or endure the mugginess and crowds of Boston in summer to get a good dose of early American history, think again! The Outer Banks of North Carolina offers 130 miles of unspoiled coastline and 30,000 acres of surf and sand to enjoy every thinkable beach-related activity, and is die site of some of America's most fascinating events. The Outer Banks are a chain of barrier islands on the Atlantic Seaboard, 90 miles south of Norfolk, Virginia (a one and a half-hour drive from the airport).

The best times to visit are May through June or September through November, when the temperatures are in the 70's and the crowds are gone. There are plentiful options for lodging, from chain motels and hotels, to zillions of beach houses available for rent We stayed in an air-con-ditioned seven-bedroom beach house, each with its own bath-room, and housekeeping service. The enormous kitchen had all the usual appliances, dishes, and cookware. From the verandah we enjoyed a school of dolphins playfully swimming close to shore. This is quite a common phenomenon when die ocean is fairly calm. Conversely, die sandy beach is best for collecting sheik after a storm or rough seas.

For outdoor lovers, there's kayaking (on the sound and salt marshes), windsurfing, kite-fly-ing, hang gliding, parasailing, wildlife refijges, nature trails, bird watching, fishing galore from a boat or pier, surfing, swimming, snorkeling, and just building sandcasdes.

If you are up for a trek through soft, fine sand, check out the tallest sand dime on the East Coast at Jockey Ridge. If you make it to the top you'll be treat-ed to spectacular views of the Roanoke Sound and the Atlantic Ocean on opposite sides of the narrow stretch of land- Or take it easy and watch hang gliders, kite flying and the spectacular sunsets at this 414-acre park.

If you have a love of lighthous-es, there are four in close proxim-ity. The CapeH^ieras lighthouse, at 208 feet, is the tallest in the United States with

i f

Windsurfing is just one of the popular watersports along the Outer Banks.

its black and white spirals and red base. Its light can be seen for 20 miles. In 1999 the lighthouse was moved a half-mile away to protect it from the pounding waves of the Atlantic. Weather permitting^ visitors can climb the 286 steps to the top. The other three lighthouses along die Outer Banks are at Bodie Island, Ocracoke and Curritock Beach.

Searching for shipwrecks? More than 2000 ships sank off the coast as they attempted pas-sage through the treacherous waters, giving rise to the nick-name, "Graveyard of the Atlantic." When the tide is low the remains of submerged sailing ships can be seen.

If you like a little history with your sand, you'll discover Orville and Wilbur Wright made man's first successful powered air flight from the dunes at Kitty Hawk on December 17,1903. The historic flights of that day are detailed at die Wright Brothers National Memorial. A 60-foot monument stands atop Kill Devil Hill as a tribute to die first flight. Don't miss the replica of the original plane in the engaging visitor's center.

If you like a little mystery with your history, visit Roanoke Island. More than 400 years ago

as "The Lost Colony." The oldest outdoor drama in die nation, aptly tided "The Lost Colony", debuted in 1937, and tells die tale of Sir Walter Raleigh and his colonists. It is retold each sum-mer in the theater at the Fort Raleigh Historic Site,

Would you like to live some of Outer Banks' history? The Roanoke Adventure Museum, located in Roanoke Island Festival Park, is chock-full of interactive exhibits that make learning fun.

Also on Roanoke Island is the North Carolina Aquarium with displays of marine animal and plant life unique to the area-

Children love to touch the skatefish, rays, crabs, sea stars, and other invertebrates. The main attraction is the 285,000-gallon ocean tank, which houses the remains of the recreated USS Monitor shipwreck

If you're lip-smacking has been making the fish in the exhibits nervous, it's time to head out for fresh seafood... crab, lobster, clams, tuna, mahi-mahi, grouper, oysters, shrimp, flounder, scal-

Homes of all kinds The models are up and open

in the single-family detached condominium phase of Golfside Village in Westland.

Uniland offers four floor plans and 25 building sites, Steuer & Canvasser six plans and 30 sites, many bordering Inkster Valley Golf Course at Palmer and Henry Ruff roads.

"There's bound to be a home that fits anyone's lifestyle with this many choices and at this price point," David Steuer said.

His homes range in price from $179,900 for a raised ranch of 1,280 square feet with three bed-rooms and two bathrooms to $214,900 for a story-and-a-half of1,800 square feet with three or four bedrooms and three baths,

Uniland's homes start at $195,900 for a colonial of 1,643 square feet with three bedrooms and 21 /2 baths and rise to $209,900 for a colonial of 1,988 square feet, also with three bed-rooms and 21 /2 baths.

"We're providing affordable luxury quality... bu t we also offer options to accessorize to buyers' priorities," Rex Rosenhaus of Uniland said.

Both builders include at base price in all plans two-car garage, basement (or lower level in the case of raised ranch), range and dishwasher in the kitchen, vinyl and carpet floor coverings and lawn installed.

Air conditioning and fire-places are upgrades for both.

Brick and vinyl siding are pri-mary exterior materials.

The nearby golf course owned and operated by Wayne County, access to Wayne-Westland pub-lic schools and the many munic-ipal services offered by the city of Westland are big draws, the two builders agree.

"Over 50 percent of the prop-erty is adjacent to the golf course," Rosenhaus said.

"If you're a golfer, great, it's right in your backyard and you can fantasize about it," Steuer • added. "If not, it's great to look over at beautiful landscape you don't have to pay for"

Detached condos at Golfside Village now are available on premium lots abutting Inkster Valley Golf Course.

GOLFSIDE VILLAGE ? saith side of Palmar (ust w«S ef Bemy fhrff to

"The city of Westland has an excellent parks and recreation department," Rosenhaus said. "YouVe got a library facility, excel-lent fire and police department"

"We think the area is strong...

central to everything," Steuer continued. "You've got 1-94,1-275. To get to the airport is easy, places of employment easy.

"Westland Mall is nearby with everything you could want," he added. "And if you have a histor-ical sense, downtown Wayne is nearby."

Steuer also mentioned "exten-sive landscaping," including ponds and fountains, on the Golfside Village site itself.

Steuer's model is a unique mid-level master of1,870 square feet with many volume ceilings.

The home showcases a living room, dining area, family room and kitchen/nook with island. The laundry is off the kitchen, the ha l fba th nea r t he f i un t door.

The master with cathedral ceiling, separate tub and shower, two-sink vanity and walk-in

closet is about seven steps up from the main entertaining area of the home. A loft is adjacent to the mid-level master.

Several steps higher on the upper level are two bedrooms and a full bath.

Base price is $209,900; the model, as is, in the low $240,000s.

Uniland's model, a colonial of 1,988 square feet, also contains many volume ceilings.

The main living area features a living room, dining area and family room with a pass-through wall between the family room and kitchen.

The laundry and ha l fba th are near the garage entrance.

The master has a separate tub and shower, a pair of walk-in closets and dual-sink vanity. A

second full bath services the sec-ondary bedrooms.

Base price is $209,900; the model, as is, about $242,000.

Lots with golf course views carry premiums ranging from S3,900 to $8,900.

The detached condos at Golfside Village are serviced by city water, sewers and sidewalks.

The property tax rate is $37-75 per $1,000 of state taxable value, half of sales price for new construction. That means the owners of a $200,000 home there would pay about $3,775 the first year.

The annual association fee is $60.

. Uniland's sales mode! at Golfside Village, ' (734) 727-2000, is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Sprawl policies should consider quality of life We have been reading and

hearing about "Smart Growth," and likely will

be hearing a great deal more. Smart Growth is a policy plat-form of the Surface Transportation Policy Project, a

coalition of approximately

I 250 organiza-II tions around P the country. * Since land use

and trans-portation go together like coffee and cream, it focuses on elements of

both, strongly advocating for "choice," which in this context means the "choice" of mass transit.

It also advocates a policy of fix it and maintain it first,

ary A n n

Bernardi

which means they are against funding for new roads or new housing developments. There are strong proponents for improved air quality in this group as they believe building more roads causes more driv-ing, which, in turn, causes more air pollution.

Although most Smart Growth proponents are Republican, and most Washington based Republicans say hands off when it concerns governmental controls on pri-vate enterprise, suburban Republicans support the con-cept of Smart Growth. They want developers to build proj-ects with higher densities, which means cramming the highest number ofhomes on the smallest amount of land possible. Hence, an eager march toward condominium

condominium devel-

opments. Condominiums are easy enough to identify, but site condominiums appear identical to single-family hous-ing units.

What's not so apparent in site condominium develop-ments is that the land on which the units are placed, and the surrounding land, is owned in common, which affects proper-ty rights and maintenance responsibilities. The rationale for this rearrangement of land ownership leads one to the ral-lying mantra of Smart Growth, preservation of open space. This philosophy is being car-ried to the regional and state level in Michigan and could result in money being allocated exclusively to high density areas.

Smart Growth strategies are being pursued in at least 38 states, and many counties,

cities, and towns. With judicial application,

Smart Growth has the potential to encourage sensible growth. But it also has the potential to adversely affect quality of life.

For example, Portland, Ore., has been held up as a model of Smart Growth, but ranked number one in traffic conges-tion from 1982-2000. There is also concern about zoning ordi-nances regulating land use, policies which prevent the building of new roads, utility lines, etc. beyond certain areas.

Rob Atkinson is one of the loudest voices of the Progressive Policy Institute, a "New Democrat" organization, which offers another alternative to Smart Growth. He writes that, "What motivates the STPP and its fellow travelers (Smart Growth advocates) is an ani-

mus toward the kind oflifestyle most Americans have chosen. They think it is wrong for Americans to try to win their patch of suburbia. A better way to live, according to these social engineers, is in an apartment complex above a Metro stop. In short, while they claim they are anti-sprawl, they actually are anti-car, anti-suburbs and anti-growth."

Just as Smart Growth advo-cates aspire to "choice," PPI also shares this aspiration. However, PPI states that "choice" means the choice to be able to get to and from work in a reasonable amount of time, the "choice" to live in single family housing unit, and "choice" to allow growth to meet the demands of popula-tion expansion in a responsible, reasonable manner.

PPI espouses "The Quality

of Life Agenda," I would like to { call it the "Much Smarter \ Growth" alternative. They con- _• sider the need for new roads, and reasonable expansion, in ; addition to maintaining what « exists. The quality of life agen- ! da addresses sprawl, urban ; blight, the disappearance of ; open spaces, clogged roads and -pollution, overcrowded and ! under performing schools, an ; acute shortage of affordable ; traditional housing units, and 1 the ever increasing time spent ^ commuting between work, ; home and school. It is clear ;< this group doesn't ignore the problems sprawl creates, but suggests comprehensive, mul-tifaceted solutions meant to create a balance between indi-vidual interest and the public interest.

We have a crack forming on our cement fountain, i t does show both inside and outside the bowl, i t doesn't leak yet. How can I seal i t before we spring a leak?

First, drain the water from the fountain. Use an old chisel along with a wire brush to remove any loose material along the length of the crack

Wash with a mild detergent and rinse with fresh water. Once the concrete has dried, inject the crack at the inside of the fountain with epoxy filler. No action should be necessary at the exterior unless you wish to conceal the crack. If that is the case, clean the outside as suggested above, and caulk with a latex caulk. Use a damp sponge to wipe away the excess caulking.

Adding coziness to vaulted rooms FOR AP WEEKLY FEATURES

To create drama and excitement, many great rooms and other gathering areas feature volume ceil-ings, which often soar as . high as two stories.

The effect is impres-sive, but all that open space can leave the room feeling cold and even uninhabitable. It's enough to make some people run for cover to the nearest cozy nook.

Since, in most cases, these dramatic rooms aren't just for show, but rather are the home's main living areas, it's wise to

give them some homey, liv- , able touches.

Consider incorporating built-in shelves or cabi- V , netry. Besides boosting a H home's resale value, not to mention storage space, _ . b'uilt-iris offer just the right amount of warmth a soar-ing great room needs.

Fixture and cabinetry companies offer a wide variety of styles and colors, and many are willing to customize them to your liking.

A shelving arrangement can form a quaint niche that's just the right size for an overstuffed sofa and a piece of artwork.

Accessorize to brighten winter days

Eijsoi Housing Oppsftinity

BY CAROL MCGABVEY FOR AP WEEKLY FEATURES

The Scandinavians have the right idea.

In a land darkened by win-ter, they revere white for its ability to reflect and enhance the waning sunlight You can do the same in your home.

Snuggle in, and make the most of it. Few things are more serene than frosty win-dows and softly falling snow. Instead of fighting it or grous-ing about it, make the most of it.

Use filmy sheers to keep the light coming in, even on gray days. Use creamy white uphol-stered pieces in a cozy seating arrangement. Make sure there is texture in the fabric or in the nearby accessories to warm up the scene.

Here are a variety of other suggestions to warm up your surroundings in a chilly sea-son:

• Don't over-neutralize when you go with a neutral color scheme, such as a white-on-white look.

First, use not just one color but many shades of the same color. Second, emphasize sur-face textures, shapes, and dimension. Last use a few dark contrasts to give the neu-tral colors a solid footing.

• With short days and long nights, you'll have the perfect opportunity for illuminating your home with candles and lighting, giving a close-to-the-fire ambiance.

Even if you have a small dd a sense of welcome

with candlelight, a mirror or a fresh posy to delight family or guests as they come in from the cold.

8 To warm up windows, add a cozy look by adding a plate rail for display. Also, add tab curtains that have been lined for warmth. When spring comes, remove the cur-tains and change the items on the plate rail to fit the new season.

S Use paints and wallpa-pers with a classic, no-color ~ look that can adapt to season-al changes. Basic whites with small amounts of black or other neutrals, such as in a subtle stripe, work well for cozying up a winter look, but also for a fresh spring and summer look.

• Warm up the look of your home with accessories that teU stories. Pieces from the past help add a warm glow to your central gathering spot.

• Build yourself a "nest" for sleeping or reading. Provide a good light, books for perusing, and comforters and throws for keeping warm.

• Make the most of your bathroom, and turn it into a home spa. Light votive can-dles, add some aromatherapy, and indulge by pretending you're in the snowy woods.

9 When you entertain - or just for a simple family meal -add candlelight. It raises the room's emotional temperature in an easy, relaxed way.

spacious common

The Riverbelle is an 1,884-square-foot ranch with a large covered porch. The dormer over the entry not only bathes with natural light, but also adds eye appeal from the street

Two garage bays and a deep recreational vehicle port also draw accolades. ,

The vaulted entry is only the beginning of a large, spacious area which blends the living, dining and great room together. The only sepa-ration here is a circular-shaped, walk-in pantry.

The kitchen contains an island •with dishwasher, sinks and eating bar. A gas fireplace is in the corner, three large windows across the back of the home. Sliding doors open to a covered back yard deck.

Aden with vaulted ceiling and bay window is to the right of the frontdoor. It's behind French doors and could be used as a guest room, if needed.

A full bath is adjacent to the den. Beyond that is a bedroom with a long wall closet and large window overlooking the back yard.

The master suite takes up the entire left side of the home. It, too,

If you live in a snow belt state, or even if you want the versatility and safety of a four-wheel drive vehicle, this 2003 Kia Sorento 4x4 LX is for you.

The LX model is not the top-of-the-line, stacked-to-the-max Sorento, by the way. Its shiffc-on-the-fly is a top performer, getting me out of a 6-inch base of snow I encountered in a flash. In two-wheel drive, I spun and spun. Turned the knob for four-wheel-drive and I was on my way in a second.

And you know what I liked the most? Its price. The Sorento LX costs $22,995 out the door, including anti-lock brakes, alloy wheels and a roof rack. Everything else comes standard at the base price of $21,300.1 call that a value for your bucks.

Sales of Kias are skyrocketing. Almost 19,000 were sold last month, generally a slow sales month for automakers. Hie Sorento has also amassed a host of awards in the past few months, mostly touting its value.

Powered by a standard 3.5 liter dual overhead cam 24-valve V-6 engine, the Sorento is rated at 192 horse-power. The engine is mated to an electronically con-trolled four-speed automatic transmission with over-drive.

It gets you where you have to go without a lot of effort. Unfortunately, you can hear engine noise and the road noise is especially annoying. The suspension needs a little more tuning as well. Last complaint: The center instrumentation needs to be a little clearer and the stereos buttons are too little and hard to figure out at first

There are two trim levels on the Sorento, EX and LX. Like I said, the EX is stacked-to-the-max with options and only has a handful of options to choose from.

The LX model is equipped very, very well. Standard features include air conditioning, power windows, door locks, heated mirrors, cruise control, eight-speed CD

door opener pocket and eight-way

2003 Kia Sorento. Vehicle class: Special purpose vehicle. Power: 3.5-liter dual overhead cam V-6 engine. Mileage: 15 city/18 highway. Where built: Korea. Price as tested: $22,955.

In the rear, there's a 60/40 split flip-and-fold rear seat. There are also four 12-volt outlets strategically placed throughout the cabin to accommodate every-thing from Gameboy to a television to a computer.

Safety issues are addressed well with dual front airbags, front and rear side-curtain airbags, front pre-tensioners and three-point belts and headrests for all five seating positions.

Allowing even more versatility, you've got a rear cargo cover, cargo tie-down hooks and plenty of nooks and crannies for storage, there's a full-size spare tire, too.

What I found real convenient, especially when driv-ing in the snow - because of the salt spray in the rear -is the rear window, which is a lift gate with a flip-up glass. It also features a defroster, wiper and washer sys-tem that was really effective with just a couple of sprays and wipes. You don't have to waste a half-gallon of fluid to get it clean.

Now, take all that and upgrade it to the top-of-the-line EX model. With that, you'll get alloy wheels, two-tone body cladding, power sunroof, fog lights,

HomeLink programmable remote system, a

Delphi premium AM/FM/CD/cassette stereo with steering wheel mounted controls, remote keyless entry system and a system that measures outside temperature and features a compass, altimeter and barometer.

You can also opt for the luxury package on the EX, which will give you chrome trip, a 280-watt stereo, climate control, automatic headlights, leather-wrapped steering wheel and leather seating surfaces.

So, a fully loaded with everything but the kitchen sink on a Sorento will cost you about $27,000. By the way, the Sorento LX 4x2 is priced at just $19,900. pret-ty good value.

I rarely mention warranty programs, but Kia is something to look at. Kias have a 10-year, 100,000-mile limited power train warranty, a five-year or 60,000-mile limited basic warranty and a five-year or 100,000-mile anti-perforation warranty. Finally, therels a five-year, unlimited mileage roadside assis-tance program.

Value. That's what I found in the Kia Sorento. I think you will too. • Write Anne Fracassaat avantil054@aol.com
