The more things are different, the more they remain the same.

T h a f s just about the way the situa-tion with Canton roads will be into the 21st century as township voters defeat-ed a road tax Tuesday for the second time in three years.

Supervisor Tom Yack points out that the list of road projects needed in Can-ton haven ' t changed much from sur-veys in 1995 and 1997.

"We've got to be careful not to have sour grapes," said Yack. "It's the peo-ple's money. They choose not to spend

Patterson is GOP choice for House

Bruce Patterson sat in a 19th c e n t u r y - s t y l e chair late Tuesday night looking a s if he 'd j u s t completed a marathon.

The C a n t o n r e s i d e n t and Wayne County com-missioner sprinted past Patricia Fatyma in win-n i n g t h e p r i m a r y . H e took 75.6 percent of the vote to Fatyma's 24.4.

"T think t h a f s a pretty clear message for both of us," said a more energet-ic Pat terson Wednesday m o r n i n g . " I t ' s a r e in -forcement and a gratifi-cation from the s tand-po in t of t a k i n g publ ic service seriously."

He'll now face Demo-cra t Ray Bailey in the November general elec-tion. Patterson likes his chances.

"I'm confident I will prevail," he said, "because of the district's demograph-ics. I think the Republican ticket will be extremely strong up and down the line."

Unofficially, a total of 5.215 ballots were cast in the Republican race. The 21st District covers Canton. Sumpter

McCotter, Poenisch to face off for Senate

Thaddeus McCotter didn't miss a beat.

Canton supplier gears up after GM settlement

The end to the General Motors strike couldn't have come at a better time for two area car dealership* and a Canton •uto parts supplier.

Bodyeote Michigan Induction Inc in Canton uses induction heat treatments to make steel parts stronger.

The company gets about 35 percent of its total business from GM, and com-pany officials say they waited until as long as they could before laying off some of their 100 employees.

Voters conclusively told the trustees they're not ready to pay more taxes for maintenance, paving, resurfacing and widening of roads. The 2-mill increase for eight years went down to defeat by a 5,042 to 4,286 margin, or 54-46 per-cent.

"I'm taxed to death, and I'm tired of it," complained Doug Knight. "Show

Riters has worked for McCotter's cam-paigns before, and this year's s t a t e Sena te race was no exception. "I've always felt that he is a decent, honest individu-al," Riters said. "He's very, very bright."

Ryan, who woo in Redford, said he cam-paigned in Livo-nia and came within 1,000 votes of McCot-te r there . "We started from far

does it all or not," said Fatyma. "But if money does buy votes, he should beat me eight-to-one."

She was determined to run a frugal race.

"I knew it was going to be a low-budget campaign because I chose not to fund-raise," said Fatyma. "I never asked anybody for money."

The Canton resident said a candidate can get her word out inexpensively.

"A few of my family and friends sent checks anyway, but I never made an appeal," Faty-ma added. "I just wanted to do something special for the people of this community. I was willing to pay for it myself. I really wanted to be a public servant and in that regard. I didn't want their money *

Money wasn't the only thing that made his campaign work, Patterson said.

Community support "I had a tremendous amount

of community suppor t and encouragement," he explained. "As a result , I had volunteers willing to make a commitment and help me in this quest."

Patterson decided to run alter receiving positive feedback from the community. From there, he began getting ready for the pri-mary about a year ago.

"We prepared what I think is a solid campaign plan," he said. "I understand the need to have a solid game plan developed early on and then stick with the plan and work the plan "

graphics and key issues as well as developing a budget and rais-ing money were all focal points of the plan.

"It's necessary to be able to deliver the message to the peo-ple that are listening in August," Patterson said. "I think we were able to do tha t effect ively. Nobody ever runs a perfect plan, but we worked the plan, I think, very effectively."

Patterson also briefly consid-ered running for judge at the 34th District Court in Romulus.

T h e r e may be a time when I would be interested in serving on the bench," he said. "But I enjoy the public service of being in the legislative branch of gov-ernment."

For Fatyma, shell continue in her job as an account represen-tative for an educational fund-raising company. She's not giv-ing up the idea of public service, though.

"I still see myself going onward and upward still trying to help people," said Fatyma. "That is my basic message, I really want to help people. 1 was not in this for ego. I was not in this for the job."

Voters split At the polls, voters seemed

split early Tuesday. Some liked Fa tyma ' s s tand on ce r ta in issues.

"I agree with challenging the last school vote," said Marge Fitzgerald, a township resident for 24 years.

Plymouth-Canton Community Schools won approval for the building of a new high school and an elementary last year. But controversy arose when some 716 ballots weren't counted due to a new computer voting system.

Former state representative Jerry Vorva is fighting the valid-ity of that bond issue in court. Fatyma served under Vorva and supported his fight.

"I was d isenf ranchised ," Fitzgerald said.

Others liked Patterson. "He spoke at our homeowners

associat ion 's meeting," said Tammy Harper, a six-year town-

ship resident. "I got a chance to talk to him for a while."

Both candidates began their days early Tuesday, F a t y m a about 4:30 a.m. and Patterson at 5 a.m. Fatyma said she wasn't very nervous the entire day.

"Not as much as I thought I'd be," she said. 'I'm past nervous-ness. I'm r u n n i n g on adrenaline."

Passing out last minute litera-ture and visiting the polls filled most of the day for both candi-dates.

"I've been doing this kind of thing for other people for 20 years," said Fatyma. "It's very different when your name is on the ballot."

Campaigns criticized The general tone of the cam-

paign was cordial. But candi-dates said there was too much mudslinging. # "I indicated early on I wouldn't

be throwing any mud," Patter-son said. "I wasn't going to be saying that she was unqualified. There was no piece of literature that I was associated with that attacked her as a person."

He didn't receive tha t same courtesy, he added.

"I think on the other side, that there were people she was well aware of that were accusing me of all sorts of things," Patterson said.

"All I ever did was question his record," Fa tyma said. "I never made any assault on his personal charac te r . 1 never called him any names. He actu-ally did more of that when he had Melissa McLaughlin sit t he re and 'expose me' as a Democrat, which I thought was funny."

Patterson, she added, spent too much time on trying to make her seem less Republican than himself.

Fatyma would've liked to debate Patterson.

"We never got to the issues in the campaign no matter what I was trying to say," she said.

Patterson said a debate was unnecessary at the p r imary level.

have seen it go from gravel roads to th is mess," said Dorothy Makowiec.

Yack isn't optimistic about the road s i tuat ion get t ing bet ter anytime soon.

"If you look at what projects were done between the 1995 road millage defeat and the cur-rent no vote, we're not talking about much," he said. "Besides a small strip of Hanford Road and some other small improvements, I can't name any. Well continue to go at that small pace.

"Sheldon and Palmer, Lilley and Palmer, Beck and Warren, five lanes down Cherry Hill ... whose going to pay for that?" said Yack. "Not the development community because they ' re working out west. And as for signals, we need road improve-ments before we can get lights."

Yack believes that maybe cur-rent road construction and the idea of future projects could have contributed to voter confusion.

"Some areas will get better when Morton Taylor is put through, and when Canton Cen-ter north of Ford Road is widened," he said. "However, those projects were already planned and funded and not part of this millage.

"The next big trouble spot will be Warren. It has a lot of traffic and is falling apart."

Canton Township roads are owned by Wayne County. Doug Dersnah explained why he and many other voters turned down the proposal.

"We should be getting more money f rom Wayne County. Why can't we get it?" he ques-tioned.

"I don ' t t h ink i t 's real is t ic because if I believed the county, or developers or the federal gov-ernment should be expected to pay, then that's where we'd be putting our efforts," said Yack. "I beat up on the county big time. We probably didn't get as much as we could have. But, we're talking about a relatively small percentage of dollars."

Yack says the township will continue to put in $500,000 to a million dollars a year on road projects, but says t ha t won't make much of a difference.

"A lot of people who believe the county should give us more money ... it's not going to hap-pen," said Deborah Nesbit, head of Canton Citizens for Better Roads. I don't th ink people understood that by taking care of the roads now, we can avoid a crisis later. The roads will get worse and safety will become an issue."

Public Safety Director John Santomauro was hoping to see

the millage pass, helping reduce response time for the police and fire divisions.

"There are days if a hard to get through traffic," he said. "I can't think of any single isaua tha t affects response time more than the roads."

Depending on who you talk to, the township will either continue to live within its current road budget, or will aoon be back for another try for a road millage.

T m not ready to give up," said Nesbit. "We need to come back next spring with another mil-lage. Otherwise the roads will get worse, the values of our prop-erty will decline, and the safety of our young people will be jeop-ardized."

However, Yack doesn't see it that way.

"We're not inclined to go back to the voters," he said. "We did a survey and it said people though t the roads were deplorable, but the public obvi-ously think* someone else should do it.

"My guess is the public will jus t hold us accountable any-way," he said. T h a t comes with the territory. The roads are ter-rible and we should have found a way to fix them."

the other automakers. "While we lost GMs work, we

picked up some of the slack with increases in business from Ford and Chrysler ," added Bien. "That's probably due to the fact they were selling more cars dur-ing the strike."

Ron Chaudoin, general man-ager of Lou LaRiche Chevrolet in Plymouth Township, said his showroom was nearly empty

"We're down to 15 cars and 25 trucks, and we usually carry about 300 total," said Chaudoin. "I'm e la ted a t get t ing some inventory, and the potential for sales that I haven't had in a long time."

Chaudoin said he expects Gen-eral Motors to begin shipping out trucks first, with cars soon to follow.

"Production should begin in earnest next week," added Chau-doin. "Some vehicles are already on the line waiting to be fin-ished."

General Motors has said it should have all its production plants fully operat ional by Wednesday. And Chaudoin is hoping bus iness will pick up

soon afterwards. "I think you'll see some new

programs by GM which will include incentives for both employees and the general pub-lic," he said. "I believe cus-tomers will be a bit hesitant at first."

Across town at Bob Jeannotte Pontiac-GMC Truck, General Manager John Jeannotte said he hopes to have his lot full of 300 new cars and trucks within a few weeks.

"We're figuring at most three weeks to get our lot filled," aaid Jeannotte. "Well be getting cars and trucks in before that, but we hope to have our lot completely full within a month "

Jeannotte said his dealership was down to about 100 vehicles, or about a two-week supply

""I'm anticipating we'll be get-ting in 1998s," added Jeannotte "The only thing we lost out on are the 1998 Sierra t rucks . We'll also be getting in the 1999 models soon."

J e a n n o t t e says GM will be ready to bargain with both retail and lease customers.

Full-day kindergarten set for fall at Rawsonville B Y L A I R I E C U B C U H U S P E C I A L W R I T E *

T h e r e ' s a growing t r e n d in a rea schools toward a full-day learning environment for active kindergarten minds. Plymouth-C a n t o n schools h a v e o f fe red extended child care for kinder-gar tners for a number of years, and the Van Buren school board recent ly approved a pilot pro-gram called KinderPlus for fami-lies a t t e n d i n g one of t h e d is -trict's elementary schools.

The school, Rawsonville Ele-mentary on Grove Road in Ypsi-lanti , will serve the families of the some 900 new homes being built in southwest Canton in the next decade. The program offers tuition-based child care for chil-dren en te r ing k indergar ten in t h e f a l l . Fami l i e s e lec t ing to have their child spend half a day in kindergarten, and the remain-ing half in child care with their k inde rga r t en teacher will pay $800 per semester . The to ta l tuition breaks down to $2.20 an hour.

VAN BUREN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The program received with s t rong approval from paren ts ; near ly all t h e avai lable spots h a v e a l r e a d y been s e c u r e d . According to Rawsonville Ele-mentary School Principal There-sa Green, by mid-June 17 of the 46 kindergarten families expect-ed in the fall were ready to com-mit to the KinderPlus program. Only 24 students will be accept-ed.

An enrollment of 24 is needed to make the program self-sup-port ing. If fewer than 24 s tu-d e n t s commit , s t u d e n t s f rom o t h e r schools in t h e d i s t r i c t might be accepted.

Green said the district is not looking to go into the child care business, but rather is looking at increasing learning opportuni-ties for young children.

"We're ta lk ing about ear ly intervention by a certified teach-er," said Green. "We are very excited about this program."

The Plymouth-Canton Com-munity Schools district offers a similar extended-day child care p rogram called K i n d e r g a r t e n Crew.

Verna Anible, Plymouth-Can-ton executive director of instruc-tion, said she believes children learn a lot by playing.

"We provide educational play experiences and other appropri-ate activities as an option for the kindergartner's other half day," she sa id . All of t h e K i n d e r -garten Crew child care providers are certified teachers.

each year in one location," John-son said.

More t h a n a dozen countr ies are represented at the champi-onships, f rom Argentina to the Ukraine.

*We have archera from every s t a t e except Alaska," Johnson added.

Nickell was one of a handful of local competitors. An avid shoot-er in his early 20s, the now-mid-dle-aged township resident got back into the sport about three years ago.

• "I h a v e a lot m o r e t i m e to devote to it," said Nickell. "It's really relaxing. When everything falls together, it's really gratify-ing."

Nickell f inished 32nd in the men's senior compound division last year. He said he competes in about a half-dozen national tour-naments each year.

"I try to do as much as I can," he said. "I don't do a lot of state tournaments because I'm always practicing for nationals."

H e r m i t a g e , Pa . n a t i v e Rod White practices up to five hours each day, shooting 200 or more arrows. A gold medalist in t h e 1996 A t l a n t a Olympics, White eqjoys the competition.

Competing solo "It's an individual sport," the

21-year-o ld added . "If you do poorly, there ' s nobody to blame b u t y o u r s e l f . If you do well , there 's nobody to congratulate b u t you . You don ' t h a v e to depend on teammates."

White shoots the recurve bow, which doesn ' t use pulleys for extra leverage like compounds. He's been shooting and compet-ing for the better part of his life.

T h e r e ' s an aspect of archery for e v e r y o n e , " Whi t e s a id . H u n t i n g , 3-D shooting or target shooting."

Lorinda Cohen, 17, was par-ticipating in the FITA competi-tive division. Her third champi-onship, she placed fifth last year and second in 1996.

Like White , she shoots with the recurve.

"It 's more d i f f icu l t . " Cohen said, "because you have the full tension of t h e bow. I like the challenge better."

S h o o t i n g t h e r e c u r v e bow requi res more pract ice and is harder on the body, she added. Cohen has had finger injuries, for example.

archery is tough, it's not the only determiner of how well an ath-lete shoots.

"It's more of a mental game." said Cohen.

Just as the archers put numer-ous hours into preparing for the tournament , so did organizers. Can ton R e c r e a t i o n Director Mike Gouin s a id abou t six months of work went into plan-ning the championships.

"It takes a lot of resources to do it," he said.

arrangements for all of the com-pe t i to rs was jus t a few th ings t h a t w e n t in to p l a n n i n g t h e e v e n t . Many vo lun teers were also needed to relay and post scores, among other duties.

"It has been great so far," said

16-year-old Canton volunteer Kevin O'Donohue. "Archery is a cool sport."

The township's second yeatdfJL hosting the event has been a bit smoother than the first, Gouin said. Despite tha t fact, Canlo*-* will not be hosting the c h a m p f " . onships next summer.

"It's not something we'd rule out in the future," added Gouin.'

R e p u b l i c a n Mel i s sa McLaughl in received 5,424 votes, and Democrat John Sul-livan received 3,490 votes. Vote totals are unofficial until certi-fied by the county board can-vassers.

McLaughlin was unopposed in the primary, while Sullivan edged out t h r ee o t h e r cand i -dates: David Parrot, 38, an attor-ney from Van Buren Township; Fred Bolden, 43, a project manager with At&T and a Canton resident, and Thomas Hartnett, 52, a special assistant prosecuting attorney for Wayne County and a Canton resident.

Parrot got 2,715 votes, while Bolden and Hart-nett each received 1,199 and 1,143, respectively.

In the Democratic race, Sullivan won in Canton Township, Wayne, Romulus and Huron Township, while Parrot took the race in Van Buren Township (his home town), Belleville and Sumpter Town-ship.

Sull ivan is a Wayne resident . McLaughlin is from Canton

carries a good number of votes and of course the previous com-miss ioner (Bruce P a t t e r s o n ) lived there, too."

Sullivan said he will do a lot of door-to-door campaigning, which is what he did mostly for the primary, and will draw his agenda from the issues that he hears about from people in the distr ict . Roads is the biggest single issue facing the county, he n i l

"The people who know me have faith in the way I've con-ducted myself" as an elected

official, she said.

Proposal J Proposa l J ' a a p p r o v a l will

renew 0.95 mills for jail opera-tions of the Dickerson Detention Facility in Hamtramck for four years. The proposal also allows Wayne County to use the funds for jail acquisition, construction or operations, including misde-meanor p r i s o n e r s , j u v e n i l e incarceration or detention facili-ties. It also funds adult penalty options, such as work release, home detention and community res t i tu t ion wi th a t least one-tenth of the mill used to acquire, build and o p e r a t e a juven i l e offender work/training institu-tion.

"We're looking to improve the progress we've made, and hope to put more service on the road. We ' re going to c o n t i n u e to expand community transi t and within the next two years, elimi-nate the deficit."

Kaufman was surprised tha t the support was, in his words, "overwhelming."

"Any time you get close to 60 percent support is good."Kauf-man said. 'We had close to 70 percent in Wayne and Macomb counties, and almost 80 percent in Oakland County."

SMART and DDOT officials have discussed sha r ing radio f requenc ies to coordinate bus schedules and software. "We're going to try to continue to serve the public bet ter by looking at the routes we share," Kaufman said.

Fresard, who lives in Grosse Pbfnte Woods, said informed vot-ert who care about qualifications helped her win votes in the pri-mary election.

"I'm ecstatic," Fresard said Wednesday afternoon. "My fami-ly and friends and supporters have worked so hard.

•It is just thrilling to see vot-ers actually looked at qualifica-tions and commitments to the community," Fresard said. "The votes I got showed voters were informed and concerned about issues."

F re sa rd believes she will become the first Hispanic judge

elected countywide in Wayne County.

Fir*t Hispanic "It's very, very important that

voters are opening up their eyes and minds to minority candi-dates," Fresard said.

F r e s a r d has worked in the Macomb County Prosecutor 's Office since 1987. She serves as chief of the criminal sexual con-duct division. She in i t i a ted CARE houses for child abuse and molestat ion cases in Macomb and Oakland counties, which are located near courts. She hopes to start a similar pro-gram in Wayne County.

Gillis, 35, has practiced law in areas of probate, criminal, collec-tion, appellate and family law.

She received a bachelor ' s degree from Western Michigan Universi ty in communication and business, and a law degree in 1991 from Detroit College of

Law. During law school, she interned at the Michigan Court of Appeals and the former Detroit Recorders Court.

Michigan Attorney General Frank Kelley appointed Gillis to special assistant attorney gener-al in May 1995. She also worked as a law clerk for the Third Judi-cial Circuit Court from 1987 to 1991. Prior to that, she worked on the s taff of the Michigan Court of Appeals in Detroit.

Gillis also has tutored at the Dominican Literacy Center for four years, which resulted in her receiving the "Spirit of Detroit" award in 1993.

Fourth spot Gardner , 45, has practiced

family law for 17 years. Gardner is president and founder of the Wayne County Family Law Bar Association.

A graduate of University of Detroit Law School and Michi-

gan State University, Gardner is running for the fourth time for judge. He has previously run for Michigan Court of Appeals and twice for 19th District judge in Dearborn. Gardner also was a law instructor at Detroit College of Law for eight yea r s unt i l 1990.

Gardner also worked for Ford Motor Co. for five years, twice relocating to Australia in the late 1970s. Today, he practices out of a law office in Dearborn.

Ga rdne r has ind ica ted he wants to adjudicate in the family division of the circuit court if elected.

"When you think of the volume of cases with family court. Judge (Kirsten) Kelly has done a good job." Gardner said. "This is the place I want to go.

"It's something where I think I can make a difference. I would bring fairness and effectiveness

- to the court."

County from page A7

McLaughl in said Geoffrey Feiger 's cathpaign may have boosted Democratic totals in the primary, both from Democrats and Republicans who crossed over to vote in that primary. She is unsure whether his candidacy will have any bearing on local races such as county commis-sion.

"I think at this level it's about issues like roads, noise and the (proposed) Willow Run (airport) expansion," she said.

In the 9th District, Blackburn,

59, beat his two opponents by nearly a 2-to-l margin. In unof-ficial tabulat ions, Blackburn received 4,658 votes, while Peter Zajac, a small businessman from Dearborn Heights, got 2,703, and Ned Apigian, an architect and community p l anne r , received 2,232. Blackburn was the top vote-getter throughout the district.

The Republican Husk polled 5,604 districtwide. She received 2,758 votes in Redford Town-ship, 836 in Livonia and 2,010 in

Like a well-oiled machine, Wayne County Executive Ed McNamara's band of campaign workers and supporters rolled into Greektown's International Center Tuesday night to cele-brate.

McNamara soundly defeated Sharon McPhail and Wallace Serylo throughout Wayne Coun-ty, winning the Democratic pri-mary election to what eventually and probably will be a fourth term to an office he has held since 1986.

McNamara received 163,363 votes, while McPhail received 80,828 and Serylo rounded out the field with 7,281.

But the celebrat ion was dimmed by the death ear l ier that afternoon of McNamara's sister, Mona Sikora of Detroit. Out of respect for his s is ter , McNamara did not appear at his party.

McNamara ' s daugh te r , Colleen, briefly addressed the crowd. "In the midst of the victo-ry, there's an undercurrent of real sorrow," she said.

As Wayne County is heavily Democratic, McNamara, 71, will be the favorite in November. McNamara served on the Livo-nia City Council in the 1960s for eight years . He was elected mayor of Livonia in 1970 and served for 16 years until his election to county executive in 1986.

Mike Duggan, McNamara's a s s i s t an t county executive, called Tuesday evening a "spe-cial night."

Duggan, who, like McNamara. lives in Livonia, remembered the early days of the re-election campaign and a conversation with McNamara.

"He said, '1 should be carrying

Fieger makes peace with some Democrats BY T M RICHARD STAFF Warren

One spring day. Democratic guberna to r i a l hopeful Doug Robs shouted "hello" across a Lansing street to this newsman. He was running a close second to Larry Owen in the polls, but Owen had the endorsements of Big Labor's leaders.

Not a serious problem, said Ross, because other labor-endorsed candidates had lost primaries, for example to Sen. Don Riegle. And Big Labor isn't as strong as it used to be.

Ross was right, but it wasn't he who t u r n e d the tablea on union leaders Aug. 4. Geoffrey Fieger, the 47-year-old govern-menta l neophyte , won the Democratic nomination for gov-ernor, and Fieger could boast at next morning's unity breakfast: "The rank and file union mem-bers voted for me. Teachers voted for me."

"He has a lot of labor friends, rank and file support," said Sen. Gary Petere of Bloomfield Town-ship. "I picked that up in the union ha l l s . This par ty is diverse."

At s ta te conventions, AFL-CIO President Frank Garrison has been fond of saying that whomever the labor caucus endorsed would be the party's choice. But Fieger has done what no Democratic gubernato-rial nominee has done for more than a generation - win a pri-mary over labor leaders' opposi-tion.

The unity breakfast , in the Ponchartrain Hotel in Detroit, fea tured former or re t i r ing officeholders such as Jim Blan-chard, Don Riegle and Frank Kelley. But missing were:

• Frank Garrison. • UAW Pres iden t Steve

Yokich. • Ross, who finished third

and wasn' t expected to make peace with the man who brand-ed him a "sniveling weasel."

• Detroi t Mayor Dennis Archer.

K 4 Presiding: Former Gov. James Blanchard, master of ceremonies at Tuesday's breakfast, set a tone of conviviality and urged conciliation. He read a telegram of congratula-tions from U.S. Sen. Carl Levin who wrote that quality public schools, the environment and better roads are issues that all Democrats can agree on.

Several members of the Michi-gan congressional delegation attended, led by John Dingell of Trenton, but not Sander Levin of Southfield or Lynn Rivers of Ann Arbor.

Wayne County Executive Ed McNamara , who had backed Owen, sent regrets because a younger sister, Mona Sikora, died the day before. But he also sen t chief of staff Char l i e Williams to promise "enthusias-tic support ... We will deliver Wayne County in an unprece-dented way in November."

Fieger did make peace, appar-ently, with party chair Mark Brewer, whom he once promised to fire, even though Brewer is

picked by party delegates for a term that runs until January. "Since this is a unity breakfast, Mark, you can have your job back," Fieger laughed. It set a good mood.

Some Democrats who weren't shunning Fieger, however, were candidates for attorney general.

Macomb Prosecutor Carl Mar-linga said he would "converse wi th Fieger and see how he plans to run his campaign. We agree 99 percent on issues. The difference is his personal style. If he shows he has a good, solid side, all right. If not, I would prefer not to be on the ticket."

Wayne County Sheriff Bob Ficano affirmed that "we feel we have the qualif ications to be there. The party leaders have to pick a consensus candidate. Jen-nifer (Granholm, Wayne County corporation counsel), would be an attractive candidate."

Also there were Sen. Chris Dingell of Trenton, Rep. Nick Ciaramitaro of Roseville, Rep. Laura Baird of Okemos, Rep. John Freeman of Madison Heights - a long list of potential successors to Frank Kelley.

A prominent Ross supporter, who asked not to be quoted by name, was unhappy a t Big Labor's heretofore iron grip on party nominations. "Mark Brew-er (state chair) is a smart man and a good lawyer. I don't see how he can climb in Steve Yokich's lap every morning to get his orders," she said.

"I'm troubled," said former Oakland Democratic chair Don Tucker, an Owen suppor te r . "Larry Owen is a responsible, intelligent, visionary candidate. Geoffrey Fieger, on the other hand, is there because of a) name recognition (through rep-resenting Jack Kevorkian) and b) his facile quotes that fit into a sound bite, but he's not well versed on policy."

But hell support Fieger over incumbent Republ ican John Engler.

SEMCOG panel to review water, sewer expansion BY TIM RICHARD STAFF w a r m

Regional leaders are wrestling with the question: What's the difference between a "heal th problem" requiring governmen-tal capital and "urban sprawl" which is a no-no?

The Southeas t Michigan Council of Governments tossed that problem into the lap of its Environmental Policy Advisory Council. Specifically, EPAC will recommend whether to amend the seven-county region's water and sewer service map to expand in three outlying areas.

EPAC is chaired by Marysville Mayor Deem Boldyreff, and vice chairs are Plymouth Township Supervisor Kathleen Keen-McCarthy and Professor Orin Gelderloos of the University of M ichigan-Dear born.

"We will not support policies which subsidize growth," said SEMCOG executive d i rec tor Paul Tait at the July 31 execu-tive committee meeting, restat-ing SEMCOG's policy against "urban sprawl."

"There are legitimate health problems," Tait added, underlin-ing the other side of the prob-lem.

Under consideration are appli-cations for federal and state aid for 1) sewers in the southern Huron Township in Wayne County and a neighboring part of Monroe County; 2) w a t e r extension for Oxford Township in northern Oakland County; and 3) water extension in East China Township in St. Cla i r County.

"There's definitely a need," said Elaine Kirchgatter, SEM-COG executive committee mem-ber from Canton Township. "We probably made a few people rich (in deciding for extensions)."

James Murray, Wayne Coun-ty's director of the Department of Environment, said the line

between two policies was gray. "South Huron ia under (sewer-

age) capacity. They have to com-ply with federal and state stan-dards," Murray said. But when they comply, they allow expan-sion.

"Oakland County has 200,000 septic systems. Wayne County has 30,000 to 40,000," Murray added.

SEMCOG's executive commit-tee voted $25,000 for a staff report on "sustainable develop-ment" in the region to resolve the question. "That would give us an inventory of best prac-tices." said Ta i t . The s tudy would be published and sent to SEMCOG's 140 governmental unit members.

SEMCOG chair Douglas Wool-ley, supervisor of Pi t tsf ie ld Township in Washtenaw Coun-ty, said "sustainable develop-ment" will be his "signature pro-ject" for the region.

In other business July 31, the SEMCOG executive committee endorsed:

• "A Proposed State Policy for the Reuse of Obsolete Build-ings." If enacted into state law, the policy would allow local gov-ernments to eliminate property taxes for 12 years on improve-ments made to buildings official-ly declared obsolete, in order to bring them back into use at reduced tax cost.

• A similar policy for "blight-ing buildings." Local units could condemn property, relocate resi-dents, and adopt redevelopment plans.

Cur ren t ly , the owner of a blighting building could donate it to the local unit, to a local eco-nomic development corporation, or a nonprofit organization. The new policy, if enacted into law. would allow local units to give owners incentives to donate a blighted building - such as for-giveness of fines and fees.

McNamara from page A9

the city of Detroit and I want to see a campaign that stands on my record,' " said Duggan

Duggan pointed out t ha t McNamara also won big among black voters in Detroit. Cam-paign workers, supporters and county workers who gathered in Greektown were a mix of Detroiters and suburbani tes , whites and blacks.

"We are much closer to Dr. (Martin Luther) King's vision of a candidate being judged by their character," Duggan said. "Ed McNamara is a big part of that."

Duggan poked a little jab at McPhail when he first walked up to the podium. "Dave Katz, raise your hand," Duggan said. "Dave Katz is still the airport director." During the campaign McPhail had questioned McNa-mara's choice of Katz and chal-lenged McNamara on whether Katz was qualified to serve as airport director

Duggan said McNamara had the "courage to sell a tax" to bring the Detroit Lions back downtown to a new stadium and work to renovate and expand a "dilapidated" Detroit Metro Air-port. "He said. 'I'll take the criti-cism (for the airport 's condi-tion). because it's good for the region.'"

Some local elected officials

a t tended McNamara ' s bash, including Wayne County Com-mission Vice Chair Kay Beard. D-Westland and Redford Town-ship Supervisor Kevin Kelley, who repeated McNamara's cam-paign theme and noted McNa-mara's strong overall electoral base

"His victory is significant for southeastern Michigan," Kelley said. "Things really do work better when we all work togeth-er."

R e p u b l i c a n s r a c e Herb Scott of Canton conced-

ed the Republican race on Wednesday to Detroit resident Edward Romanowski as Romanowski eventually won by 8.000 votes.

"It looks like he was the win-ner, so now he has the uphill battle," Scott said.

While Scott was disappointed that he didn't get more media attention from the Detroit daily newspapers, he enjoyed enter-ing t radi t ional ly Democratic areas in Detroit to inform resi-dents of his campaign

"I tried to remind people of the importance of a two-party system," Scott said

Road rejection 'No' vote is message to leaders

Three years worth of new development and the t raff ic congestion t h a t comes wi th it wasn ' t enough to convince Can ton resi-

dents t h a t a local tax increase to pay for road improvements was a good idea. In fact , a nar-row, 48-vote defea t of a similar ballot proposal in 1995 mushroomed into a loss by more than 750 votes Tuesday.

What changed? Well, for one th ing , absen-tee voters who supported the last proposal - a depar ture f rom most tax issues - d idn ' t back this one. They rejected it by near ly t h e same 54-46 percent margin of voters a t the polls.

Some people casting "No" votes on Tuesday said they sti l l viewed maintenance and improvement of local roads as a county responsibility. MI already pay taxes for t h a t -to Wayne County" was a popular response both at the polls and in let ters to t h e Observer before the election.

Many Canton residents hold to those views despite yea r s of complaining tha t t h e town-ship doesn' t receive a "fair share" of road improvement money from the s ta te by way of

• 1 already pay taxes for that - to Wayne County' was a popular response both at the polls and In letters to the Observer before the election.

the county. To be fair, Canton Supervisor Tom Yack and county officials have worked in recent months to change tha t perception, and several major road improvements - including the widening of Canton Center - are under way.

We wonder though if Tuesday's vote carries another message, one aimed more at curbing development than improving roads. We also heard from voters who are wary of the explo-sion of residential , commercial and industrial building in Canton. One way to slow addition-al development is to put a damper on infra-s t ruc ture improvements - including local road projects.

Stall tactics serve no purpose By reques t ing a rehearing before the Michi-

gan Cour t of Appeals, Je r ry Vorva has ensured t h a t his lawsuit against Plymouth-Canton Communi ty Schools will d r a g on for months, if not longer. If Vorva is in teres ted in "justice" for voters whose ballots d idn ' t count in the March 1997 school bond election, we wonder why he opted for more delay, ins tead of seeking a speedy ruling from the s t a t e Supreme Court .

It's highly unlikely tha t Vorva will even consider a th i rd option - dropping t h e sui t altogether, which is too bad

Nei ther can the Observer t ake seriously Vorva's most recent offer to end li t igation holding up the sale of $79.6 million in bonds for construction of two new schools provided the dis tr ict holds a special election. Vorva's "deal" calls for the school district to notify everyone who voted March 1997 and have them vote again - by paper ballot - on the bond proposal. That , he believes, would rectify an election in which 716 ballots on electronic, touch-screen voting machines (out of more

than 12,000 votes cast ) were ruled invalid. Like a child refusing dinner but seeking dessert , Vorva is asking for something he knows is impossible.

The sui t has raised some viable issues and generated needed discussion. For example, why can't the district automatically send absentee ballot applications, as municipalities do, ins tead of wait ing for requests? While a third high school will help alleviate a crowded PCEP campus, will fu tu re enrollment increase enough to just ify the cost? Plymouth-Canton school officials have taken s teps to improve voter awareness of how to use the touch-screen system.

But the bond issue was narrowly approved by voters. The board of canvassers and two courts have said the system was working properly. There is no way to tell how those who miscast ballots would have voted and no way to draw a line on wha t is an acceptable number of spoiled ballots in any one election.

It's t ime to move on.

Drug law changes merit praise The Michigan Legislature did a relat ively

good job in modifying the so-called "650 drug lifer" law in the closing days of i ts 1998 session. Those who worked for the change hereby ea rn our praise.

For years , it was known not only as the toughest law in the nation but as a cruel law tha t exacted ha r she r punishments t h a n many murders . Some thought it should be consid-ered "cruel and unusua l punishment ," a viola-tion of t h e U.S. Constitution, bu t the nation's highest court left it to the state 's discretion.

From 1978-98, the law mandated - no judi-cial discret ion - life in prison with no hope of parole for anyone caught with 650 g r a m s (2.2 pounds) of a controlled substance. It was aimed a t d r u g "kingpins," to use the police lobby's t e rm, but didn't catch many. It took no aocount of t h e fact t ha t many in the d r u g scene a re young, dumb and likely to outgrow their behavior pa t te rns af ter 15 years .

The new and improved law says:

• Penal ty is 20 years to life, a t the judge's discretion.

; C u r r e n t convicts are eligible for parole after 15 yea r s if they have cooperated with the prosecutor. (A prosecutor could abuse h is or her discretion, unfortunately.)

; C u r r e n t lifers with no other convictions foj- serious cr imes are eligible for parole af te r 17 1/2 years ; 20 years if they have been repeat offenders.

.' The parole board must consider whe the r the convict played key role in the t r ade , whether t h e offense involved chi ldren 17 or younger, or committed the offense in a "drug-free zone" a round a school.

The S e n a t e voted 26-9 for improvement Sen. Bob Geake . R-Northville, had t h e courage and wisdom to vote yes.

Sadly, Sens Loren Bennet t . R-Canton, and George Z. Ha r t , D-Dearborn, cont inued to sup-port the cruel law by voting aga ins t reform

The House voted 66-31 for reform. Voting ym were Tom Rally, D-Wayne. and Eileen DeHart , D-Weatland

• Bob Geake, Tom Kelly and Eileen DeHart deserve praise for bucking the propensity of legislators to sit up at night and invent new crimes and harsher punishments.

Sticking with the hardl iners and voting no were Bob Brown. D-Dearbom Heights, Gerald Law, R-Plymouth, and Deborah Whyman, R-Canton. Lyn Bankes, R-Redford, was absent, the equivalent of a negative vote.

The vote was prominently reported in this newspaper . So far. however, no one has made it a pr imary campaign issue. Perhaps that 's good. We have heard no demagoguery saying tha t a yes vote was a "vote for drugs," or "a vote against crime victims," or other such non-sense.

Get t ing much credit for fighting for the reform is Rep. Barbara Dobb, R-Union Lake, who opposed the prevailing emotions of her Oakland County base. The Senate had passed a bill t ha t it billed as a modification of the 650-lifer law. but actually it gave too much power to police and prosecutors in deciding on paroles. Dobb amended it in the right direc-tion.

So Geake, Kelly and DeHar t deserve praise for bucking the propensity of legislators to sit up at night and invent new crimes and harsh-er pun ishments

As Portia, in Shakespeare 's Merchant of Venice, explained:

"The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle nun from heaven

It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.

'Tis mightiest in the mightiest." Or as the Bible, in Micah, advises us. "What doth the Lord require of thee but to

do justly and to love mercy ... f*

Raw deal

Ihaven't been able to unders tand why so many people are complaining about Jerry

Vorva's lawsuit against the school millage vote. It is obvious to me tha t when over 700 votes were voided out of less than 12,000, the voters didn't have proper instructions before entering the voting machine. Anyone with an ounce of common sense and a Dr. degree af te r their name, should be able to figure tha t one out.

In today's school newslet ter , the instruc-tions note tha t you m u s t press "end all voting" for your vote to count. Was tha t on the origi-nal ballot? I can't vote as a commercial proper-ty owner in Plymouth, j u s t pay taxes.

I wrote the Observer a f te r the election t h a t the school board pulled a fas t one on the vot-ers, and I still feel t h a t way. Jus t wait for the next favor from the voters. I can't unders tand why the school board doesn' t set aside money for school buses, repairs , etc. when setting up budgets. The government allows a business to set aside money in reserve on tax re turns .

I guess the answer is, when you pay out 90 percent plus for salaries, sick pay, retire-ments, health insurance and anything'else you can think of, there isn't much left for capi-tal items. You ju s t ask for more millage and hope the retired person will keep voting yes until he sells out because he can't afford to live here anymore.

At 75,1 am able (like President Clinton) to feel their pain. When one pill I take went up 30 percent in one month, I asked why. The druggist replied there is only one manufactur-er.

To the school board, lots of luck on the next school election. I th ink you are going to need it.

Thanks to everyone

The Plymouth Salem and Plymouth Canton

Academic Quiz Bowl teams returned from Disney World last week finishing seventh out of 45 academic teams at the Panasonic Acade-mic National Championship.

The teams playing represented the best team from each of competing states and terri-tories, and the tou rnamen t was won by an all-s tar team from Maryland.

I and all of the team members who partici-pated in this unique experience would like to say a special t hanks to the Plymouth Canton Community Schools, Panasonic, the School Board of Polk County, Fla., the parents of team members. Observer & Eccentric News-papers, and especially Visteon and the Ply-mouth Rotary Foundat ion.

Through the generous contributions of Vis-teon, with its new headquar te rs in the Ply-

mouth area, and the Plymouth Rotary Foun-dation the students ' tournament expenses for the six day trip were fully paid.

Academic Quiz Bowl is an opportunity for s tudents to demonstrate knowledge in a vari-ety of subjects: math , science, social studies, a r t history, music, l i terature, and languages by competing against other schools.

Again from all of the part icipants and myself, many thanks to everyone who helped make this experience possible.

Coach's firing questioned

What is wrong with this picture? Tom Teeters gets fired as the Ladywood High

School volleyball coach due to "philosophical differences with the administrat ion on how to run the VB program in general for the sake of the freshman, J V and varsity levels."

Mr. Teeters has coached volleyball a t Lady-wood High School for 12 years, with 532 wins, ( that 's 44 wins a year), two s ta te class A championships, a t a school t h a t is not as big as most A schools and seven consecutive Catholic League A-B Division titles, and 10 in 12 seasons. He has also coached the School-craft Lady Ocelot volleyball team for 13 years, including a NJCAA national championship.

I ask, who could be more qualified to coach an ent i re high school program than a coach with these most outs tanding qualifications? I guess at Ladywood it is thought tha t the ath-letic director and the principal a re more quali-fied. I don't think Tom Teeters needs any help in running a successful volleyball program anywhere. One high school's volleyball dynasty will fall and another will rise.

Courts often side with gov't when inmates sue It h a s been a bad year for prison

inmates in the Michigan Court of Appeals. • Mary Glover, serving a life sen-

tence for second-degree murder , became a cause celebre when she "earned college degrees with high honors and received a prestigious lit-e rary award. She was active in pris-oner social and religious programs, and involved herself in a ground-breaking federal lawsuit t h a t has enhanced opportunities for the female inmates of this state," the appellate court said.

B u t the Parole Board in 1994 said it "withdraws interest" in grant ing her parole. No explanation. No sug-gestions for improving her behavior. J u s t the high-handed, bureaucrat ic conclusion.

She sued, charging the Parole Board itself violated the law with its non-explanation and also violated the Open Meetings Act by meeting secret-ly. "We find tha t considerations of fa i rness and due process ent i t le plain-tiff (Glover) to a wri t ten explanation

by the Parole Board," said Judges Michael Kelly and Myron Wahls.

But it turned down her request for an open meeting, saying the Parole Board could cure i ts problem with a writ ten explanation of her denial.

Judge Hilda Gage, formerly of the Oakland Circuit Court , dissented, noting Glover had been the principal in the shooting dea th and theft , had some misconduct violations (including two sexual), and a rgu ing (not very convincingly) t h a t the Parole Board isn't subject to the Open Meetings Act.

• Tracy Neal was lead plaintiff in a women inmates ' class action sui t against the Depar tment of Correc-tions, i ts officials and officers a t "facil-ities" in Plymouth and Coldwater. They charged male officers had sexu-ally harassed them through watching int imate bodily funct ions, pat t ing them down, and re ta l ia t ing when the women complained, all in violation of the Civil Rights Act.

Judges Peter ODonnel l and Hilda Gage said the Civil Rights Act pro-

a TIM RICHARD

hibits discrimination in public accom-modations and public services, bu t prisons don't qualify. They sent the case back to Washtenaw Circuit Court , saying the women "may have a direct constitutional claim" under equal protection and equal benefit of the laws.

J u d g e Barbara MacKenzie dissent-ed, saying the women "have s ta ted a valid cause of action under the Civil Rights Act" under a liberal construc-

tion of the t e rm "service to the pub-lic."

• The Parole Board appealed when a Wayne Circuit judge declared unconstitutional a par t of the law declaring inmates seeking parole had the r ight to legal counsel. Sabat ino Franciosi was serving four-15 years for his 1992 conviction for sexually assault ing his 9-year-old s tepdaugh-ter.

The law is fine, said a 3-0 appeals court panel. The Parole Board can best make i ts decision "by hear ing the inmate's own words, unguided by the presence or promptings of counsel ..." And indigent inmates would run up the budget if the public had to provide them lawyers, said Judges Michael Kelly, Robert Young J r . and Mart in Doctoroff

• Inmate Jerome Holmes was con-victed by a Marquet te ju ry of an assaul t on prison employees and pleaded "ineffective assis tance of counsel." Among other things, Holmes said his lawyer "failed to obtain infor-mation regarding prisoner grievances

filed aga ins t t h e officers t h a t testified (his) t r ia l" unde r the Freedom of Information Act. - 1

s The appel la te panel said t h e offi-

cers' pe r formance records were "unob-tainable" because the resul t would be %

"potential breaches in prison security; as de fendan t a n d other prisoners could r eques t grievance and discipli-nary informat ion regarding prison officials." I t sa id Holmes could "cross-: examine all witnesses under oath a t • trial and could have explored whether ••• any had grievances filed against .

them." - "i

Anyone who says courts a re soft on prison i nma te s is watching too much TV or l i s tening to too much ta lk radio. The courts a re giving the Corrections . Depar tment and Parole Board a lot of leeway.

I Schools should teach us about our northern neighbors 111 have to let you know about our

t r i p to Goderich, Ontario, when we get the pictures developed. I 'm not really one to bore family,

fr iends, colleagues and readers with too many summer photos, but our tr ip no r th did get me to thinking. Why don't we l eam more about Canada when we're growing up? I know schools have plenty to do, but it seems like instruction on Canada could be added without too much trouble and plenty of benefit.

A recent tr ip to Ot tawa, Canada ' s capital city, was an eye-opener. My husband and I toured Par l iament with helpful s tudent guides who spoke both English and French. (We chose the English.) It was embarrass-ing to have to admit , bu t I didn't know exactly what form of govern-

ment our good neighbors to the north have. It 's a consti tutional monarchy, the guide politely informed me, and a man on the tour, presumably a proud Canadian, was eager to tell me even more.

My husband and I have taken two trips to Ot tawa and benefited from both. On one, we toured Laurier House, home to two Canadian prime minis ters of different eras. We also visited Canada 's Supreme Court, which wasn' t in session at the time.

Both times, we visited the Museum of Canadian Civilization, jus t across the bridge within walking distance in Hull, Quebec. There, we learned a great deal about the nat ive peoples who have played such a vital role in Canada 's development.

On one of our trips, we took the

train on to Montreal, where I found the French speakers most helpful. I'd been apprehensive tha t my high school and college French would prove inadequate , but didn't have any trou-ble finding bilingual people in Mon-treal .

Montreal was a fun city to visit, in that I'd been there for Expo '67 as a child and was eager to see how it had changed. The amusement park La Ronde, which was visited, was left from Expo '67.

We enjoy crossing the border into Canada on our vacations, and it 's not jus t the value of the Yankee dollar tha t makes Canada appealing. I like to learn about another culture, and our tr ips to Canada have revealed tha t Canada is definitely another cul-ture and not just a carbon copy of the United States.

I have a friend in San Diego, Calif., close to Mexico. If we visit soon, wel l make it a point to go to Mexico. How for tunate we are in Michigan to have Ontario jus t over the border.

It would be great, I think, if we

learned more about Canadian govern-ment, society and culture in school. Such s tudies could be inqprporated into all levels of learning, including higher education.

Some of my learning about Canada has come courtesy of the Canadian Broadcast ing Corp. Such excellent family d r a m a s as "Avonlea" and "Wind at My Back" are complemented by news a n d documentary program-ming. Even t h e sports programming gives insight into fife in Canada.

It's good to know there 's more to life across t h e border than cold beer and doughnuts .

Government by innovation can save taxpayers a bundle

For most folks, wha t goes on at SEMCOG (Southeastern Michigan Council of Govern-ments) and MAC (Metropolitan Affairs

Coalition) is of, well, marginal interest. But they've put out a remarkable booklet in

recent months, entitled "Award Winning Joint Projects." It describes a number of projects under taken at the local level in communities in Southeastern Michigan.

It makes great reading, if only because it s t r ikes to a historic problem embedded at the hea r t of our politics. Historically, governments — whether local, s ta te or federal — are good at doing more and more things when they get more and more revenue. But governments are lousy a t doing more things when they get less rev-enue , being in other words more productive

Hence the term "entrepreneurial govern-ment" ( thanks to Tim Richard, who covers gov-e rnment and politics for this newspaper), the faintly radical idea tha t governmental units ought to think and act like entrepreneurs . Experiment Be innovative. Try new things Even (gasp!) take risks

The "Award Winning Joint Projects" booklet offers us a slew of neat examples of what gov-e rnments can do when they think like cost-cut-ting, productivity-maximizing entrepreneurs

A case in point comes from the Plymouth community, a wonderful combination of a old-fashioned downtown in the City of Plymouth surrounded by high-growth subdivisions in Ply-mouth Township

For years, relations between the city and the township were jagged at best, both communities competing to offer services like fire protection But as time went on, governmental leaders began to realize that duplicating serv ices mere-ly cost taxpayer money without any correspond-ing gain in safety

So somebody got the bright idea of consolidat-ing city and township fire depar tments The city commission and the township board negotiated a deal in 1995 whereby

• The city contracted with the township for

fire service • Costs were shared accordingly as a rolling

th ree year weighted average of s tate equalized value (33 percent ' , population (33 percent) and r u n s / u s e (34 percent*, wi th t h e city s s h a r e never to be lower t h a n 25 percent of def ined coat*

>1 P h i l i p P o w e r

• For years, relations between Ply-mouth and Plymouth Township were Jagged at best, both communities competing to offer services like fire protection. But as time went on, governmental leaders began to real-ize that duplicating services merely cost taxpayer money without any corresponding gain in safety.

• Both bodies adopted a s ingle set of ordi-nances, building codes and policies

• Firefighter unions agreed to allow the town-ship to h i r e city firefighters a t t he i r exist ing seniority levels

The resul ts are outstanding A total of $6 million in cost savings are esti-

mated over the 10-year life of the joint contract, while at the same time response t ime to fire calls has been reduced dramatically Citizens in both city and township are benefiting from bet

• ter fire protection at reduced taxpayer expense This joint project is a perfect example of how

governmental leaders, once they s ta r t thinking outside the box, gain the courage to take risks in order to reap rewards for their communities It's a perfect example of ent repreneur ia l govern ment in action

Both the City and the Township of Plymouth won an "Outstanding Project" award The^ deserve congratulations from all sides

JACQUE MARTIN-DOWNS

Developing children's character

Four-year-old Justin ran through the house, defying his dad as dad pleaded with him to take a bath.

Acting like he didn't hear dad's call, Justin continued to race around.

Finally, when dad yelled for the third time, "You'd better get in here, Justin," he stopped and cried out, "I don't wanna take a bath." Worn down by the whole affair, dad plopped down -in his easy chair and clicked on the television. Justin continued his racing around.

Does this little boy have high self-concept or esteem? Probably. But he also has inflated self-importance and a view of himself as omnipotent. In other words, he's a brat.

Little brats turn into big brats. Lit-tle brats don't have the controls put on them that serve to reel them in when they are feeling like they can do anything they want.

In his latest book. "Our Guys," Bernard Lefkowitz writes about a true story of gang rape that happened between 13 adolescent boys and a retarded girl. The wrenching story smacks of kids out of control, and par-ents who rally around the perpetra-tors with a kind of "boys will be boys"

... •_ Lefkowitz worries that this story

and others like it represent "the social and psychological currents that form American culture" today: "When they (the people of Glen Ridge) discussed the incident, they substituted tem-perament for character. One of the guys in the basement ( where the rape occurred) was a 'nasty' kid. Another was "hyper.'

"They seemed to be talking about inherited traits, a biological code they had no control over. But they didn't mention the life experiences that sen-sitize, magnify and aggravate the pre-dispositions of temperaments; they didn't speak of the boys' characters."

D e v e l o p i n g c h a r a c t e r A child's character develops with

our help. Babies are not born with outstanding character and integrity; they learn it. It isn't easy to learn because the lessons are sometimes tough and heart-wrenching and it takes our following through.

In "Our Guys," Lefkowitz shares numerous stories about how these 13 boys often got away with bad behav-iors while growing up. Not only did parents turn their heads and say. "Well, you know how boys are," but teachers, counselors, principals and the police did as well.

We not only play a major role in building our child's self-esteem, we have an important obligation to also build character, teach them right from wrong, teach them to obey authority.

Obeying authority starts with the two-year-old who dashes around thinking he is the king of the uni-verse. WTien parents say no. they need to follow through. When chil-dren do something wrong, they need consequences

A very good story came across my desk recently that reinforced how great parents are at teaching their children important lessons It seems that a child had been in a restaurant, eating lunch with his mother and aunt. While they were talking, he started marking up his cloth place-mat with crayons

When mom discovered how much damage had been done, she first scolded her child and then asked to see the manager. She explained what her son had done and had him apolo-gue.

But it didn't stop there. Then she went on to ask, "So what could he do to right this wrong?" The manager, who was totally shocked by the moth-er's need to have her son make resti-tution, said, "Well, it only cost $1 50, he could pay us for it."

The mother looked visibly dis-

New law gets tough with date rape drug Her arms wrapped around her as if she were giving

herself a hug, the 25-year-old western Wayne County resident quietly talks about her 24th birthday.

She's just started to openly talk about that fateful night that started out as dinner with friends and ended in sexual assault.

"I want to raise awareness among women and men because 1 never thought it could happen to me," she said. "I would not wish that experience on my worst enemy, 1 just wouldn't."

When her boyfriend left early because he wasn't feel-ing well, the young woman, who asked to remain anonymous, accepted a ride home from an acquain-tance. He suggested they stop at his apartment so he could drop off something. Another woman was there, but soon left, leaving her there with the acquaintance and his roommate and an uncomfortable feeling.

She had accepted the offer of a beer and had drank a quarter of it when she started feeling ill. Encouraged to drink the rest of it, she took a few more sips.

"I remember s i t t ing on the floor," she said. "It seemed really dark and quiet and I felt really heavy. The last t h ing I remember was one on each arm. walking me to a bed-room."

She now recalls awakening twice during the night - when

w a s bleeding and her r ipped clothes tossed on the floor. She dressed and left to find a tele-phone to call her boyfriend.

"I knew something wasn ' t right; I was in an area where I would never be," she sa id . "I don't sleep around. My boyfriend just knew what had happened."

• She had accepted the offer of a beer and had drunk a quarter of

feeling III. Encouraged to drink the rest of it, she took a few more sips.

1 1 A g r o w i n g t r e n d Ilene Zisk can only guess at what may have been

slipped in the young woman's drink. A sexual assault awareness specialist at Canton-based First Step, she speculates that it was the drug Rohypnol, but then again the symptoms could be indicative of a large dose of GHB (Gamma Hydroxy Butyrate).

Either way, she is among a grown number of unsus-pecting women who have fallen victim to sexual assault as the result of date rape drugs like Rohypnol, GHB and Ketamine.

"Over the last six months, we've had six cases where we suspect the use of drugs," Zisk said. "For years, alcohol and marijuana was used to knock out the vic-tim. But these drugs are more accessible, and we've seen more of these cases in the last two years."

Rohypnol is used as a sedative for surgical patients and Ketamine is an animal tranquilizer. GHB got its start in health diet stores for its supposed ability to enhance muscle growth.

Zisk labels GHB a "dangerous drug." It attacks the central nervous system and symptoms can range from

confusion and feelings of intoxication in a mild form to respiratory arrest which can lead to death after the victim loses the gag reflex and suffocates on his or her own vomit in cases of overdose.

That alone might explain one of its nicknames among drug users - "Grievous Bodily Harm."

"It think it's used on college campuses a lot, but that no restriction," said Zisk. "Its target population, I would say, is college students, then high school stu-dents, but no one should feel immune because they're not part of those groups."

WTiile the U.S. Food and Drug Administration may have pulled GHB off the shelves in 1990 due to its dan-gerous and life-threatening side effects, it hasn't gone away. At rave parties, young people drink capfuls of it for its euphoric or hallucinatory effects. And it's become a popular date rape drug.

And it's the latter use that has landed Michigan in an elite group of states - Florida, California and Rhode Island (as of May 5) - which have made GHB illegal.

In July, Gov. John Engler signed a law that elevates GHB to the Schedule 1 controlled substance list, reserved for the most dangerous drugs with no medici-nal value. Two other states, Louisiana and Texas, are considering similar legislation.

Individuals caught delivering, possessing with the intent of delivering or manufacturing GHB face up to seven years in prison, a fine of up to $10,000 or both Simple possession carries a penalty of two years in

How to avoid date rape

Gamma Hydroxy Butyrate ia a central nervous system depressant which waa first introduced as a possible anes-thetic alternative in the medical field.

It was rejected by the medical community and found its way to the shelves of health and diet food stores where it has been sold as a tool for body builders to increase muscle growth, even though there are no studies to prove the claim.

Since it is a central nervous system depressant, it can cause the user to encounter euphoric or hallucinatory states with a false sense of reality, including feelingB of great happiness and well-being.

GHB is a clear, odorless and nearly tasteless substance that mixes well with alcohol, fruit juice and even water. Higher doses, however, will make the drink taste "salty."

The warning signs of GHB consumption include:

• The appearance of alcohol intoxication with -no alcohol odor on the breath.

• A lack of facial expression or animation.

a Slurred speech. B The body appears to be

limp. The physical reaction to GHB

varies from person to person. A mild reaction will insult in con-fusion, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea and feelings of extreme intoxication. At the other extreme, the person will show signs of incoherent speech, extreme vomiting and seizures and may become comatose.

The Women's Commission, dedicated to improving the

health and Bafety of women, in a public awareness

campaign recom-mends people protect them-selves by:

• Not accept-ing any beverage from someone you don't know well or trust.

B Only accept drinks at a bar or club, if given by the bar-tender.

B Watch the behavior of your friends to see if someone seems unusually intoxicated.

B Brainstorm ways for you and your friends to watch out for each other at parties.

B Keep your eye on your glass while drinking. Never leave it unattended.

And if you suspect you have consumed GHB, go to the hospi-tal immediately and be exam-ined for sexual assault and the presence of rape drugs.

If you need assistance at the hospital, call First Step's crisis line at (888) 453-5900. An assault response advocate will provide a sweat suit, since cloth-ing is confiscated for evidence as part of the investigation, and on-site hospital and legal advo-cacy.

responsible for a s h a r e of the monthly rent. Although Welling gradua ted from E a a t e r n last April with a major in mathemat-ica and a minor in early child-hood educat ion, she has one mathematics class left to com-plete her requirements.

Welling, a 1993 graduate of Ladywood High School in Livo-nia, began competing in beauty pageants at age 18 after reading an article in the Livonia Observ-er about Stacey Heisler , Miss Michigan 1993.

"I just thought it was fantas-tic, a great way to get scholar-ships," she said.

That year, Welling entered the Miss Clinton River Feat contest but didn't win. In fact, she didn't even place until her third year and didn't win until her fourth.

"I was about to give up, but

friends and family encouraged me," she said.

Persistence paid off, and 10 local pageants later she became Miss Michigan.

Welling remains grateful to Heisler for passing down her pageant knowledge, as well as some of her clothes - "She let me borrow the suit she wore for her interview in the Miss America Pageant."

Welling said competing is not just about Bmiling and looking pretty. It's as stressful as a con-testant wants to make it, but it's an addiction, "it's a great addic-tion."

There's also plenty of shoul-ders to l e an on, like Debbie Coach, a former Miss Redford and first runner -up in a past Miss Michigan Pageant. Coach helped Welling with the choreog-

raphy for her gymnastic routine. "What's so wonderful about

t h e Miss America Pageant is there is always someone there to help you," Welling said.

An entourage of family and friends accompanied Welling to Muskegon for the Miss Michigan Pageant, including dad Darrell, mom Theresa, brother Brett, and an assortment of aunts, uncles, grandmothers and grandfathers.

They sweated th rough her gymnast ics performance and silently cheered her on through her interview on parents' role in their children's education. k Then came the moment. The

Welling family had their eyes closed and heads bowed waiting for the judges' decision. When Laura 's name was announced, they let loose.

"The theater was just rocking and rolling with all the excite-ment," said Polly Doctor, execu-tive director of the Miss Michi-gan Pageant.

Unfortunately, Welling's par-en t s and brother missed t h e crowning moment. They were ushered backstage as soon as Laura's name was announced.

"Once she won, there was an 18-minute gap for me, l ike Wate rga te , " said Dar re l l

Welling. "I didn't see her get crowned, didn't see he r emo-tions."

But daughters, even grown-up beauty queens, will always be daddies' little girls. Welling said once Laura got backs tage he cupped her face into his hands, looked her in the eyes and said, "You climbed tha t mounta in . How does it feel?"

Welling will be on that moun-tain for a long time, maybe all her life. She always will be the 49th Miss Michigan.

Shortly after winning, Welling paid a visit to Champion Gym-nast ics in Dexter, where she

coaches kids ages 7 to 13. She didnt expect the reception she received.

"They were waiting at the door for me, wanting my autograph," she said. "People want my pic-tu re and autograph and tha t feels so funny.*

Signing autographs as Miss America is something Welling could get used to, and she would do it with both feet planted firm-ly on the ground.

"I would make a wonderful Miss America," Welling said. "I think I could be seen as a real person. You need to relate to real people."

And so it went. Mom sat on the curb while he r son put cigarette butts and plastic cups into a garbage bag. A very inge-nious consequence.

Remembering that we want to teach our kids t h a t they are unique individuals who can be anything in the world they want

to be, our other goal is to teach them that they are not the most important person in the universe ... a balance that will reap you great rewards later!

prison, a $2,000 fine or both, while a person using the drug faces up to one year in jail, a $1,000 fine or both.

"I hope it will be an effective tooL but again it depends on if it is enforced," Zisk said. "Are peo-ple going to be searched? Is every eye drops bottle police come across going to be checked?

"I've s ta r ted hear ing about people pu t t ing eye drops in drinks and it knocking people out. People are putting GHB in those bottles to get around the law."

But when it comes to date rape drugs like GHB, more is needed, according to Zisk. Men, women, hospital emergency room staff

need to be educated about the drug and what must be done to determine if a drug was used.

Drugs like GHB stay in a per-son's system 24 to 72 hours . Urine tests can detect them, but they must be done quickly, since the d rug continues to b reak down in test samples.

One of the things Zisk has been doing is working with area hospitals to set up the protocols for checking for date rape drugs.

"The test for these drugs has to go through a urine test," Zisk said. "Most hospitals don't know that and most labs won't test for it. And many hospitals send the samples out to be tested."

woman, the testing would have made prosecution of her a s sa i l an t s eas ier . It took 22 months for the cases to be resolved. Ini t ia l ly , both men charged with first- degree crimi-nal sexual conduct, but charges were dropped against the room-mate who was then recharged with fourth-degree CSC.

The acquaintance was convict-ed of third-degree CSC and is now in prison. The roommate plead guilty to the fourth-degree charge and is on probation.

"It's really hard because your mind plays tricks on you," she said. "It terr if ies me to think about it. They could have made a videotape; they could have done a lot of things that I don't know about . I have absolute ly no memory of the second man, but

he must have done something because he pleaded guilty. "

The young woman was lucky, according to Zisk, in tha t she had the support of her family and boyfriend throughout the ordeal. A lot of vict ims don't have that and chose not to report the attack.

First Step provides a crisis l ine - (888) 453-5900 - and assault response advocates who are available to help victims.

"A lot of victims don't get that kind of support and a lot antici-pate they won't get support so they don't come forward," Zisk said. "Victims need to know they won't be alone. They need to know they have someone to talk to, someone to meet them at the hospital 24 hours a day, seven days a week 365 days a year."

The Obaerver A Eccentric! THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1998 *B7

Women's retreat focuses on 'Busy Lives... Quiet Places' Women, do you remember the

last time you sat silently and allowed God to apeak to you? Haa life got ten so busy t h a t you're almost running on empty?

If you're leading a busy life and are in need of a quiet place, you can find the latter at Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church's fall r e t r ea t for women, aptly named "Busy Lives - Quiet Places."

The retreat will be Friday-Sat-urday, Sept. 25-26, at the Double Tree Hotel, 1-96 and Novi Road, Nolvi, and will f ea tu re J a n e Rulbietta of Grays lake , 111. Re t rea t pa r t i c ipan t s should brujg" a Bible and a gift-wrapped journal to exchange.

The author of "Quiet Places: A Woman's Guide to Personal

Retreat," Rubietta'a presentation ia designed to get women think-ing about giving themselves per-mission to take care of them-selves. She will delve into the varioua kinds of quiet places from solitude to silence, song or nature.

T h e purpose of the retreat is not to check off a list of Scrip-tures read, quotes studied or prayers said," Rubietta wrote. "It is an escape into the calm arms of God "

The cost of the retreat includes rooms meals and supplies and is $60 for quadruple occupancy, $70 for triple occupancy and $80 for double occupancy.

The deadline for registering for the re t reat is Wednesday, Aug. 26. Registration forms are

available at the Welcome Center of the church, 14175 Farmington Road, Livonia. Checks should be made payable to Christ Our Sav-ior Church.

For more information, call the church at (734) 522-6830.

A pastor's wife and mother of three children, Rubietta brings solid biblical teaching, experi-ence and humor to her timely messages . A background in drama gives her a unique ability to speak with and draw out her audience.

She brings relief to'sensitive issues such as inner healing and recovery with a refreshing can-dor And after moving 17 times in a span of 11 years, she is well-qualified to speak about transi-tions, stress and the need for

quiet places with God. Actively involved in he r

church as a young person, Rubi-etta began to fall away from her childhood faith during college. When seven friends and family members died in a 12-month period, she questioned her works-oriented achievements. After searching for answers, she renewed her relationship with Jesus Christ.

After graduating with a bache-lor of science degree in business and marketing, she worked in management and buying for Hudson's.

During that time, she sensed she was being called by God to a fu l l - t ime commitment and applied for post-graduate Bibli-cal studies in Germany.

While there, she joined and eventually directed a European drama team which performed Christian drama in Communist East Germany as well as local schools and churches.

Following her t ime in Ger-many, Rubietta worked at an Arabic mission, editing Chris-t ian l i terature and recording booklets for international broad-casting.

As a freelance writer, she has published more than 50 articles in major Christian periodicals.

She met her husband, a singer and composer, and they were married while both were semi-nary students. He wrote and recorded the inspirational music CD which accompanies her first book, "Quiet Places." jane RuWatta

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL ALL-STAR GAME ~

East rallies by West J im O'Leary has r e t i r emen t

ra ther than college to look for-ward to , bu t he u n d e r s t a n d s what the players in Saturday's Michigan High School Football Coaches Assoc ia t ion Al l -Star Game were experiencing.

For O ' L e a r y , who recen t ly retired as varsity football coach at North Farmington, the 18th annual game played at Michigan State University's Spartan Sta-dium was his last taste of varsity high school football.

O'Leary and the Eas t Team, which i nc luded q u a r t e r b a c k Adam Tubaro (Detroit Catholic Central) and center Brian Lewis (Farmington Harrison), will be able to cherish a 20-15 comeback victory in their farewell game.

"How could you write a better script?" said O'Leary, who will remain at North as a junior var-sity coach and a biology teacher. "I had a great time working with class kids."

O 'Leary coached t h e sec-ondary, which included s tand-outs such as Orchard Lake St. Mary's Jeff Phillips and Detroit Renaissance's William Hill (both headed to Duke), Dearborn Ford-son 's Car los S m i t h (Wes t e rn Michigan) and Detroit Chadsey's Andrew Davison (Kansas).

The West's roster changed sig-nificantly at quarterback when Brighton's Drew Henson (Michi-gan) and M a r s h a l l ' s Ryan VanDyke (Michigan State) chose not to play.

O'Leary, who was hoping at least one of the two blue-chip-pers would have played, had to alter the secondary's game plan. The West quarterbacks complet-ed t h r e e of 16 p a s s e s for 56 yards, including a 22-yard strike with 7:27 left that gave the West its last lead, 15-14.

"I thought we were going to see Henson or V a n D y k e , b u t then we altered it up and had to play t igh t b e c a u s e they were

going to run more," said O'Leary, the Nor th va r s i ty coach from 1983-97.

Tubaro and Lewis, both head-ed to Kalamazoo College, were on the field for the East's game-winning score, an 18-yard TD run by Sterling Heights Steven-son tai lback Joe Alls (Bowling Green) with 13 seconds left.

A 33-yard halfback option pass from Allen Park Cabrini's Mario Savone to Moun t C l e m e n s Chippewa Valley q u a r t e r b a c k Derek Gorney (Centra l Michi-gan) gave the East a first down at the 18.

Alls was hardly touched as he took the hand-off from Tubaro, who a l t e rna ted at quar terback every o ther play with Gorney. Alls led al l r u s h e r s wi th 71 yards on 12 carries.

"Actually, it was just a quick dive and Alls ha s got feet like you w o u l d n ' t be l ieve ," Lewis said. "He cut up the hole on the r i g h t , bounced l e f t and was gone."

The Eas t coaching staff chose to al ternate Tubaro and Gorney every play instead of every series or quar te r upon the suggestion of E a s t a s s i s t a n t coach Don Stuckey from Detroit Denby.

Walled Lake Western's Frank S t a n f o r d (Wes te rn Michigan) took a couple snaps but mostly played wide receiver, catching a 48-yard TD pass from Gorney in the second half.

The i d e a w a s to h a v e each quarterback bring a play in from the sidelines to limit the confu-sion between plays and to give each equal time.

It seemed to work as they com-bined t o c o m p l e t e n i n e of 20 passes for 171 ya rds and two touchdowns. Tubaro completed four of nine passes for 86 yards, including a 12-yard TD pass to his roommate for the week, wide r ece ive r Dave Kircus ( G r a n d Valley State) from Imlay City.

"I w a s n ' t as ne rvous a s I t h o u g h t I'd be ," Tubaro sa id . "Once I got out here, I remem-bered how it felt. We had a lot of talent out here.

"I didn't throw very good this week, even in p rac t i ce . My mechanics were all messed up, and Fm going to have to work on that."

T u b a r o sc rambled for a 19-yard gain in the first half but paid for trying to get out of the pocket late in the game when he was sacked and dragged along the astro-turf. They say Tubaro leaves every th ing on the field when he plays, and it happened literally on that play.

"It'g all right; there's just no sk in on i t (h is sh in ) , " sa id Tubaro, who also was nursing a sore back after the game.

J u d g i n g by all t h e emblems from other schools Tubaro wore on his helmet to go with the CC logo, h e en joyed t h e week ' s camaraderie. Call him a teams' player. *

"I enjoyed the par t with the teammates more than the foot-ball," he said.

Lewis said "both quarterbacks played grea t" despite the shuf-fling system and the East team jelled as the week progressed.

A victory in his final game as a high school player can't compare to the Class A t i t le he helped Harrison win, but it was memo-rable just the same.

"I guess you can't really ask for anything better," Lewis said. "At the beginning of the week, there were guys with different backgrounds and you could see cl icks f o r m i n g , b u t t h e week brought everyone together.

"It was fun getting to know dif-ferent kinds of people. We had some from the city, some from the suburbs and even some from the country."

SANPLOT BASEBALL ROUNPUP

D.C.I, adjusts for Johnstown

Livonia Decision Consul-tants, Inc will play in the Ail-American Amateur Baseball Association national tourna-ment in Johnstown, Pa., and it's a safe bet the hitters are looking fo rward to t h e t r i p more than the pitchers.

The d o u b l e - e l i m i n a t i o n t o u r n a m e n t , wh ich b e g i n s Saturday, means a re turn to aluminum bats, which weren't used in the recently-complet-ed Adray M e t r o B a s e b a l l Association •' D.C.I, coach Mike George said pitching carried his team in t h e wooden b a t l e a g u e , leading to a first-place finish in t h e C o l l e g i a t e Div i s ion with a 16-11-1 overall record.

George anticipates the alu-minum bats and pickups Mike Daguanno (from Hines Paris) and Er ic H a r d i n (L ivon ia Adray) to h e l p t h e o f f ense immensely. Daguanno, a first baseman and designated hit-t e r f rom F a r m i n g t o n Hi l l s and Detroit Catholic Central, was a first team All-Midwest Collegiate Conference choice as a sophomore a t the Univer-sity of Detroit-Mercy.

Hardin is a first baseman f rom O a k l a n d U n i v e r s i t y . George also has added pitch-ers Nick Latra (Hines Park), from Farmington and Central Mich igan U n i v e r a i t y , and Mat t P ike (Mich igan L a k e Area Rams) , who a l so can play in the outfield.

D.C.I, won ' t know who i t plays until the draw is made on Friday.

"We're d e f i n i t e l y a d d i n g Bome offense to our ballclub -they're going to play, Fm not bringing them down to s i t ," George said. 1 think Daguan-no was the most feared hitter in the league - I didn' t l ike f ac ing h i m wi th no one on base, let alone in scoring posi-t ion. And H a r d i n a n d P ike add pop to t h e l i n e u p . I 'll probably hit Daguanno third, Hardin fifth and Pike sixth.

"We were not a very good offensive t e a m b u t now i t ' s aluminum and it will be inter-esting to see w h a t happens . Another coach in our league ( D o w n r i v e r A d r a y ' s J i m DeSana ) s a id h i s t e a m h i t four homers all year and hit six or seven in one game in an aluminum bat tournament.

"We hit seven or eight balls t h i s yeAr t h a t if we w e r e using a luminum ba ts would have been out."

George said D.C J . ace right-hander John Stieger (Michi-gan State), 6-2 during Adray p lay , wil l get t h e o p e n i n g game start on the mound.

"John gives us a legitimate chance to win every t ime he t a k e s t h e m o u n d , " George

said. If D.C.I , w i n s t h e f i r s t

game, George plans on start-ing Pike in the second game, g iving him enough t i m e to r e jo in t h e R a m s , who wil l compete in the National Ama t e u r B a s e b a l l F e d e r a t i o n World Series later next week. , If D.C.I, loses its first game,

George said he ' l l g ive T i m Mil le r (L ivon ia

F r a n k l i n / W a y n e S t a t e ) t h e s t a r t in the second g a m e . Mi l le r was D.C. I . ' s No. 2 starter, posting a 6-2 record.

"F i r s t of al l , I a p p r e c i a t e (Rams coach) Rick Berryman l e t t i n g us t a k e one of h i s kids," George said. "If we win the first game, HI have Pike throw Game 2 and t h a t will still give him enough rest to rejoin the Rams for their tour-nament.

"If we lose the first game, I 'll p i tch Mil ler in G a m e 2 because S t i eger a n d Mil le r are the ones who got us this far and I c a n t see not giving them this experience."

George plans on shuf f l ing his l ineup at t h e top of the order.

Lnfielder Ron B l a c k m o r e (L ivon ia C h u r c h i l l / H e n r y Ford Community College) will likely move into the leadoff position, replacing outfielder Storm Kirchenbaum (Henry Ford), who will likely bat near the bottom of the order.

lnfielder Billy LaRosa (Uni-versity of Michigan) will move from No. 3 to the No. 2 spot, George said.

"If Kirchenbaum bats ninth, that gives Blackie a chance to do a lot a t leadoff ," George aa id . "LaRosa is r e a l good with the bat and at No. 2 he can bunt, hit behind the run-ners."

C a t c h e r Chuck Van Roby (Henry Ford) will r emain in the c leanup position, where he leads the team in RBI, and George h a s a good f e e l i n g a b o u t t h i r d b a s e m a n C . J . Ghannam (Farmington Hills Harrison/U-M). ?

"He ' s been p i c k i n g i t up some and when he ge t s the aluminum in his hands, I just have a feeling he 's going to have a big series," the D.C.I manager said.

This is the second time one of George's D.C.I, t eams has reached the AAABA national tournament . D.C.I, made an early exit, losing two and win-ning none in 1995.

"The only thing we'd like to change ie we'd like to win a f ew ," George sa id . "I d o n ' t know if we're good enough to win it, you never know, but we h a v e a good c h a n c e of sticking around a few days."

Learning the game from Cal

Baltimore Orioles' third base-man Cal Ripken J r . learned the game of baseball following his f a the r , Cal Ripken, Sr., around minor league ballparks as a kid.

The elder Ripken was a minor league manager before eventual-ly t ak ing over as skipper of the Orioles.

"We had the 'Baseball Encyclo-pedia ' in our house," said Rip-ken, Jr . , recalling hia childhood. "I remember hanging around the minor league parks and asking p laye r s ques t ions like 'What ' s the best way to catch a fly ball?" If one would say 'You catch it with one hand,' I'd go to my dad and he'd say 'Don't listen to him.' So Td *x' that player off my list." . If t h e 75 boys and g i r l s a t W e d n e s d a y ' s f r e e Chevy Trucks/Cal Ripken Youth Base-ball Clinic at Tiger Stadium had a pen and note pad instead of a ball and glove, they would have been busy jo t t ing down every-t h i n g they heard and crossing out nothing.

The Ripkens and Tigers' out-fielder Brian Hunter gave chil-dren nearly three hours of their t ime to learn about the national past ime in a major league envi-ronment . Cal J r . spent some of the t ime sitting among the chil-dren as his father, who last man-aged t h e Orioles in 1992, lec-tured.

"It's a chance to use our influ-ence in the most positive way," Cal J r . said.

E v e n S t eve M e r r i m a n , t h e T ige r s ' bul lpen ca tcher , came over to listen.

"For every kid that dreams the 'dream' to get this close is unre-a l , " Mer r iman said. "Cal Sr . 's fo rgo t ten more about basebal l t h a n most p layers know. Any time you get put in a situation to hear someone else puts you in a better position to teach someone else."

Ironman advice: Baltimore Oriole third baseman Cal Ripken, who has played more consecutive games than any other major leaguer, chats with youngsters during a clinic held last week at Tiger Stadium.

Tigers ' inf ie lder Billy Ripken , ta lked mostly about t h e a r t of stealing bases and was flattered to be among the same company of the Ripkens.

Cal Jr . 's record of more than 2,500 consecutive games played is just one reason why Hunter is impressed with him. Billy Rip-ken was a teammate of Hunter 's t h i s year before recently being released.

"My eyes lit up," when asked to par t ic ipate , Hun te r said. "I h a v e been p l ay ing t h i s g a m e s ince way be fo re I k n e w t h e meaning of money, since I was five years old, and I know the Ripken family is a great family. 1 can honestly say it hur t to see Billy leave this ballclub."

H u n t e r and t h e R i p k e n s agreed athletes have an obliga-tion to be positive role models, b u t a ch i ld ' s first role model should be found at home.

"My mom and dad are my role mode l s , I look up to t h e m , " H u n t e r sa id . "When I needed shoes and pants to wear as a kid I got them from them. Td never ask Cal or (Michael) Jo rdan to send them."

Cal J r . joked , "You n e v e r asked."

Cal J r . a n d Ca l S r . joked among themselves as well while t a lk ing about overcoming the fear of a pi tched ball . Cal J r . said sometimes even the big lea-guers fear a fastball.

"Sometimes when it's thrown 99 (miles per hour) it hurts a lit-tle," Cal J r . said.

"The ball we ighs 5lA ounces and you weigh 230 pounds, how can it hu r t ? " the wise Cal Sr. replied.

This is the fourth such clinic p u t on by t h e R i p k e n s and Chevy in the last two years. The first clinic this season was held last month in Philadelphia.

Cal Sr. said visiting Tiger Sta-dium is always a treat because of its uniqueness compared to mod-ern-day parks.

"I can remember s tanding in the third base coach's box and looking up and seeing the fans right on top of you," he said.

Cal Sr. compares baseball to any o the r job y o u n g s t e r s a re thinking of trying.

"The game of baseball and life are the exact s a m e th ing ," he said. "Every one of you has the opportunity to be an 'A' student. You have to apply yourselves.

"To be a good baseball player

you have to 'pract ice perfect . ' Prac t ice doesn ' t make perfect but if you practice correctly you form a good habit tha t becomes automatic in the game. I've seen p l a y e r s come t h r o u g h minor leagues not blessed with talent b u t m a d e t h e m s e l v e s b e t t e r players."

Cal Sr. said children should be e n c o u r a g e d when t h e y t ry sports, not "pushed."

"Let a young person do what they want to do," he said. "A lot of people a re work ing at jobs they don't enjoy. If you want to play the piano, become a motor-cycle mechanic, give it your best shot."

The Ripkens s h a r e many of the same at tr ibutes but there's one habit Cal Sr. has tha t Cal J r . is glad he didn't get: smok-ing.

Ca l Sr . h a s been s m o k i n g Lucky Strikes since his playing days but he's still moving better t h a n some men 20 y e a r s younger.

"The one thing I did pick up is his good genes," Cal J r . said. "He can do anything to his body and still live until he's 106."

The Motor C i ty M a d n e a a quickly learned tha t the i r are no "gimmees" in the Amateur Softball Association Girls 16-and-under National Fastpitch Championships.

In preliminary action Tues-day at Founders Park in Farm-ington Hills to determine seed-ings for the 80-team, double-el iminat ion t o u r n a m e n t , the host Madness lost to Hi Boy Pride (Mo.), 2-0, and Quad City (Ia.) Bat Busters, 4-3.

"You can't afford to give up runs in a tournament like this because the teams are just too good," Madness manager Gar Frantz said.

"And we're not h i t t i ng the ball like we can, or getting the

Christina Cessor two-hit the Madness in the opener.

Both Pride runs, one coming in the first and the other in the seventh, were unearned.

They know the drill Briefcase team travels to Canton (Ohio) for parade

What would a parade be with-out the Fred Hill Briefcase Drill Team?

The briefcase-twirling team from Plymouth performed in Canton last weekend.

Canton, Ohio, that is, in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Festi-val Parade, with-some 225,000 spectators lining the 2.2-mile route. • "We did it two years ago, and they called and wanted us back," said Hil l , whose brigade has been marching since the 1985 Plymouth Fourth of July parade.

"There 's a kind of ne twork among major parades around the country. They call and share ideas about what works for them," he said. "They obviously ta lked wi th people from The Parade Company which puts on the Thanksgiving Day Parade."

While there__are about 24 trained shirt-and-tie types on the Briefcase Drill Team, Hill usual-ly travels with 16 other guys on the road to form a 4 X 4 forma-tidn. • Hill recru i ted his brother Jerry, a Canton Township resi-dent, to fill out the roster for the weekend trip.

"It's like 16 guys going back to being about 5 years old with their own clubhouse," joked Hill

/-"v&bout his comrades. "We're a group of guys who have no other reason to get together."

The dr i l l team has all its expenses paid, and Hill says whatever is left over goes to charity.

"It's nice to have some money left over. We donate the surplus to g roups like the March of -Dimes and Plymouth Uni ted Way."

While marching in the Red Wings Stanley Cup parades, the jCldianapolis 500 parade and var-i o u s other grand openings and

ft'- ft Practice: Fred Hill (right) puts team members (from left) James Fredewa, Vob Borkowski of Canton and Dave Borgia through their paces.

dedications are memorable for Hill, one of the most exciting moments for the drill team came during a visit to Chicago.

"We visited Navy Pier and got into a marching duel with a group of sailors," remembers Hill. "A large crowd developed as we kept alternating maneu-vers. Finally we did one of our special steps. The crowd gave us such an ovation the sailors sur-rendered."

Bob Borkowski of Canton has been on the drill team for 13 years.

"I was a last minute replace-ment on the Four th of Ju ly morning before the parade," said Borkowski. "Some of the events like the Red Wings parades ... it's unbelievable how people yell and scream. It sounds stupid, but the applause really gets you going."

J ames Fedewa of Plymouth says the "excitement and yelling really gets you pumped up.

"Fred is like a drill sergeant," joked Fedewa, who has been

marching for three years. "He breaks you down and then builds you back up."

Despite knowing Hill for near-ly 30 years, this will be Dave Borgia's first time with the drill team.

"I had military experience, so this is like riding a bike," said Borgia, a Northville resident. "I dragged this old briefcase out of the basement. It's 24 years old. I think I used it while making calls to Fred's business."

Hill, a Realtor, said he got the idea of a 'dr i l l t eam when he owned a clothing store.

"At first I was going to have guys wearing casual c lo thes pushing lawnmowers," said Hill. "Then I thought about the guys marching with umbrellas."

And then the idea was born whi le watching t h e movie "Stripes" starring Bill Murray.

"I saw tha t movie and sa id 'Hey, we could march like that with briefcases,'" said Hill. "In fact, I got a lot of our marching moves from that movie."

Looking back to the '80s: Culture Club is touring for the first time in 13 years as part of "The Big Rewind Tour" which comes to Pine Knob Music Theatre on Wednes-day, Aug. 12. Joining Culture Club will be the Human League and Howard Jones, both of whom recently released new albums.

N ow that it's been 1J3 years since Culture Club ended its reign of lipstick, androgy-ny and controversy, d rummer Jon Moss

said it's about time the band is appreciated for its music.

T h e thing about Culture Club is when you read books about the '80s. you read about Duran Duran and Frankie Goes to Hol-lywood. Then with Culture Club you road ab«ut. iUoy; G«org«> * drug problem and our relation-ship," e x p l a i n e d Moss. Boy George's former boyfriend.

"People forgot about the music. They didn't want to write about that. That wasn't the interesting thing. But people are bored with that now, and they've rediscov-ered Culture Club's music."

As a way of celebrating tha t , C u l t u r e Club , a long wi th Howard Jones and the Human League, will perform as part of "The Big Rewind Tour™ Wednes-day, Aug. 12, at Pine Knob Music Theat re , Independence Town-ship.

"Die tour is Culture Club's first in 13 years, and it kicked it off with a performance on "VH1 Sto-rytellers." On Tuesday. Aug. 11, Virgin Records will r e l ea se a double CD "VH1 Storytellers/Greatest Hits." One disk will be a greatest hits retro-spective, and the second disk will

be an audio version of VH1 "Sto-ry te l l e r s" spec ia l , which pre-miered June 14.

Like Moss, Boy George makes no secret of his and Moss's rela-t ionship. After s inging the hit "Church of the Poison Mind," Boy George says, "'Church of the Poi-son Mind' was about Jon Moss who's on the d r u m kit behind me, as were most of the songs. We might as well get that out in the open. He loves it anyway. He loves the attention."

Cul ture Club broke up when Moss and Boy George ended their re la t ionship Since then. Moss, now 41. has married and has a 1-year-old child. He has played around London with a variety of acts. Moss and former Wang Chung bassist Nick Feld-man inked an ill-fated deal with Epic Records

"They never r e l e a s e d t h e

album, which is worse than hav-ing a failed a lbum. I was very unhappy. I didn't like it at all," he explained.

Moss blamed it on his age. "One person told me. 'If you

were under 25. I'd give you a mil-lion p o u n d s now. You're not under 24. I'm being honest with you. I'm not j u s t saying this to flatter you, but you have a great band. You just need to get anoth-er band to play this stuff,"* Moss

F r u s t r a t e d w i t h the music industry, he sold his studio to the Brit pop band Pr imal Scream and became a landlord.

About two years ago. Moss was approached abou t the idea of reforming Cul ture Club. At the time. Moss had re-entered the musical workforce as a drummer. Initially he declined because he didn't want the burden placed on himself

"The idea c a m e a b o u t two years ago. I was just not inter-ested. I wanted to see other peo-ple do it and be presented with it. I didn't know if George want-ed to do it without me, but I cer-tainly didn't want them to do it without me. It wouldn't be Cul-ture Club."

"I really didn't want to be seen as the main mover. I didn't want my heart and soul to be let down

Versatile James Carter puts organ at the helm of new CD B Y H I G H GALLAGHER STAFF WRITER

Detroit saxophonist James Carter wasn't happy with some of the cuts for his upcoming CD and went to his Atlantic label mate pianist Cyrus Chestnut to recut some numbers

He wanted Chestnut to adapt his acclaimed keyboard techniques to record on the organ for the first time

"When I approached him. he was kind of reluctant, no he was very reluc-tant." Carter said in a recent crosstown telephone interview 'But I had figured, we were label mates But his reluc tance got greater and greater, so I knew what that was all about He kept saying, give me a few months But then, at the last moment, he said OK He enjoyed i t "

Chestnut, Henry Butler and Craig Tabom take turns on the Hammond organ playing with Carter and his band on the just released "In Car tenan Fashion." (produced by Yves Beauvaist The versatile Carter works out on soprano, tenor and ban tone saxo-phones. sometimes jamming with him self on an album that moves from swinging grooves and blues into the stratosphere of experimental playing

But at its heart m an appreciation for the organ.

"In essence, it's the organ at the helm, in terms of the influence it's had on the music, the place the organ has held since the '70s funk." Carter said "It's a lasting ornament in our society, it's something I was looking at doing from the time 1 played with the New-York Organ Ensemble I wanted to make my own outlet for it "

Carter was visiting friends and fami ly in Detroit recently follov ing a monthlong European tour "In Carter lan Fashion" follow s Carter's well-received "Conversm" With the Elders, in which he played with his mentors in a straight ahead tribute to bop

Carter was born in I>etroil and is a product of Detroit's rich jazz tradition, first learning to plav with hop veteran IVinald Washington whom he often cites as a major influence

"I was pretty much influenced by anyone who had an instrument in his hand." Carter sa id . 'any artist in gener al It didn't have to be a sa* player to influence me "

Carter was also a product of the musical programs in the citv ami of the Blue I.ake Arts Camp in western Michigan, where he spent several sum mers learning his art

"It put music in a very hip atmos phere. out in the open woods combining

camp life with music," he said "And the camp food. always a constant no matter what the camp stands for the food is constant But it was a nice communal thing, running into people your own age that you never knew existed and shared the same enthusiasm about music"

Carter said growing up in the IVtroil music community was equally impor tant and was like "living in Hog Heav-en "

Having paid tribute to hi- roots. Carter now moves into different terri-tory nn "In Cartenan Fashion "

Each organist had his own approach to the music

"Harn. once lie got into dealing with things. w ; is well-versed dealing with the organ, the most gung ho Carter said

He said Craig Taborn was able to play more "piani>tically~ b«*<-au9e the rhythm section of .lanbu Shahid and Tani Tabal filled in the bass Carter's hmther Keith, plavs guitar on teveral cuts

Also for the first time. Carter uses overdubbing that allows him to plav baritone tenor and soprano saies on "Frisco Follies"

THEATER

Visiting theater company to present farce The Company of Ten from St.

Albans, E n g l a n d will p re sen t Alan A y c k b o u r n ' s , "How t h e Other Half Loves" 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, Aug. 7-8, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 9 a t t h e historic Ba ldwin T h e a t r e , 415 S. Lafayette, Royal Oak. All tickets are $8, reserved, call (248) 541-6430.

"How the O t h e r Half Loves" tells an unusually probably story (for a farce) of three- suburban couples enmeshed in logical but h i la r ious m i s u n d e r s t a n d i n g s , real and imaginary, infidelities and office politics.

All of the roles will be played by members of The Company of Ten from St. Albans , England, Stagecrafters' s is ter theater.

"This is our 15th year," said Cate Foltin. "We were introduced by the American Association of Communi ty T h e a t e r s . This is their first visit s ince 1989, we went over there in 1991."

What started out as a common interest in communi ty theater, has blossomed into something more. "This is the i r third visit, we've been t h e r e twice," said Foltin. "Several friendships have developed b e t w e e n members . It's taken a year of planning to work out the logist ics for this

visit.'* S t a g e c r a f t e r s is p l ann ing a

v i s i t to E n g l a n d in t h e y e a r 2000, and is looking forward to visiting with the i r friends, and watching them perform.

"How t h e O t h e r half Loves" begins with a new twist on the situation tha t has been a classic of farces, the situation of people t r y i n g to concea l a n a u g h t y c a p e r f r o m f u r i o u s l y j e a l o u s spouses.

The essence of the fun in "How the Other Half Loves," is t h a t Tony J o h n s o n ( F r a n k ) a s t h e deceived h u s b a n d i sn ' t a t a l l jealous of Jean Kendall (Fiona) as his wife, despite her having been r a t h e r inexplicably away from home one night until near d a w n . He mere ly asks w h e r e dear Fiona was the night before, a n d w h e n she gives a v a g u e explanation, he accepts it until it sudden ly fa l l s apa r t . Then he m u s t be d u p e d wi th a n o t h e r explanation.

Carole Williams (Teresa) will be seen as Mr. Johnson's (Frank) opposite number - a wife whose h u s b a n d is g iving her a f ishy explanation of where he was on a night when he rolled home bare-ly before dawn. She is not so eas-ily p l a c a t e d by his evas ions .

"Stephen Vaughan (Bob) ia play-ing the part of her husband who, in a flash of inspiration, impro-vises a plausible explanation: he h a d been ou t d r i n k i n g w i t h ano the r fellow from his office, William Featherstone, consoling him because William's wife ia having an affair.

Thus the plot, af ter wait*ing b e t w e e n t h e home of t h e deceived husband and his erring wife, and the home of the delin-quent husband and his partially deceived wife, gets complicated as t h e u n s u s p e c t i n g Fea the r -s t o n e s ( P h i l i p E a s t b u r n a n d M a r g i e S t o n e ) a r e d r a w n in . They a re invi ted to d inner on successive evenings to the suc-cessive households to have their non-existent r if t healed by cou-ples who can't heal their own.

again. It never occurred to me t h a t it would h a v e ever hap-pened "

Eventually, Boy George asked him to join h i m in a Cu l tu re Club reunion and he said yes.

"It was really strange obvious-ly. It was strange when we first met, and it was s t range when we played together again. But it was fine. George was fine. Everything is wonderful," he said.

Moss admitted t h a t he wasn't happy w h e n Boy George embarked on his solo career and performed C u l t u r e Club songs liver

"k was like a car running on bad-gas when George was on his solo tour. There was not enough wind in the sails."

But now Cul ture Club's music is getting its due.

"In a way, D u r a n Duran was more of the '80s. Duran Duran had great music , b u t if you go

back and listen to it, it sounds d a t e d . W i t h C u l t u r e Club , a song's a song. It's like when you listen to 'I Heard it Through the Grapevine," you don't say, "Oh yeah. That 's the '60s.' It's just a good song. To be honest with you, the band sounds fresh. There's nothing like it."

Howard Jones Keyboard-savvy Howard Jones

also grappled wi th the idea of r e s u r r e c t i n g t h e '80s. When asked to join "The Big Rewind Tour" he wanted no part of it.

"I was in two minds of whether I should do i t or not. I d idn ' t want to be locked in a box in the '80s. That ' s really a dangerous thing because I've released four albums this decade. I've contin-ued to work and h o p e f u l l y progress the whole time," Jones said.

"Then I thought I've got a new a lbum, and i t 's perfect t iming

playing to thousands of people every night."

T h e new a lbum is "People" (Ark 21) , which s t i cks wi th Jones' trademark pop sound but is enhanced with very *90s influ-ences including hip-hop beats.

" 'People ' ha s taken me over f o u r y e a r s to get t h i s record together. It 's jus t a question of making sure it was done right, rea l ly . W h e n you r e l ea se an album now, it's got to be some-thing special."

Some of the songs in the 13-piece collection, including t h e acoustic-guitar and Hammond-organ-driven "Tomorrow is Now, was wri t ten during a songwrit-ers' r e t rea t at Miles Copeland's castle in France.

During the retreat, songwrit-ers and musicians were placed in small groups and asked to write songs toge the r . "Tomorrow is Now" was co-written with ex-Go-Go's member Jane Wiedlin and Los Angeles producer Dave Bas-sett.

"We wrote songs together in groups of th ree every day and recorded the song in the after-noon. Then you play it for every-one at d inner in the evening," Jones explained.

Another product of the retreat

was t h e reggae song "Let t h e Peop le Have T h e i r Say," on which Stewart Co pel and plays.

"Tha t song, I was fee l ing so good in the castle, you can hear it in my singing. It felt as though I was in the Police, with Stewart Copeland. 1 can't tell you what a thrill that was."

J o n e s is o p e n i n g "The Big Rewind Tour" show at 7 p.m. at P ine Knob Music Thea t re . His 45-minute set will include three or four new tracks and a host of old ones - but with a different twist.

"I've arranged all the old songs in a completely new way. There's no sequenc ing or s a m p l i n g . I play Hammond organ and piano. I t ' s a completely f r e s h feel . I think it's very '90s, actually. The audiences are just loving it."

For example , "Live in O n e Day" has been reworked with an "African/Brazilian feel." Unfortu-nately, because of the short set time, Jones had to cut out some of the hits including "I'd Like to Get to Know You Well" and "New Song."

"There was some hear tbreak-ing decisions, there. But I'm real-ly proud of this new record and the reaction to the new stuff is just fantastic."

"It was t h e f i r s t t ime I had done it in public," he said. "I'd done i t on a t home p r o j e c t s , hanging with my brother, doing four tracks."

Carter is also a composer.

"In most instances, there is a natural curve tha t comes about and the music just hits you," he said. "Usually it has something to do with something in my life. 'Blues for a Nomadic Princess ' (on his f i rs t album) was about, well I might just as well say it, a one-night stand, hence the name. 'Baby Girl Blues' was about an ex-girl friend of mine. It takes on a different twist when I play it now than when we were dating."

The i n s p i r a t i o n fo r " S k u l l Grabbing" on the new CD was purely musical , to expe r imen t with time signatures in the fash-ion of Miles Davis a n d J o h n Coltrane. Carter said he came up with the chords for the number "Nov. 7, 1989" but didn't have the melody until 1994.

Carter has several studio pro-jec ts he 's like to do inc lud ing something with bass and wood-wind instruments, but he admits that playing live is the best and most important part of being a musician.

• The inspiration for "Skull Grabbing" on the now CO was purely musical, to experiment with time signatures in the fashion of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Carter said he came up with the chords for the number "Nov. 7, 1*89" but did-n't have the melody until 1994.

"If I had to choose, it would be live. When you talk about music being life and growing up with it as a communal past ime, and it still is to this day," he said. "It's one-on-one and i t 's a dialogue with the audience. Also, in a bib-lical sense, you've been chosen to pass the message f rom Mount Sinai."

Carter will be touring in sup-port of "In Car te r ian Fashion." but a Detroit-area date or venue hasn't been set.

"All my songs make people feel good," said Green who will be performing 7-8:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 16. at Civic Center Park on

Five Mile Road (at Farmington Road) in Livonia. "I was a cheer-leader in high school and college, and have a cheerleader disposi-t ion. It 's j u s t a n a t u r a l t h i n g with me."

them to feel t h e beat and get moving. They might not feel com-fortable singing, hut once they s ta r t moving to the music, the singing comes naturally.

Green seems to have a gift for he lp ing people "Lis ten to t h e Music," t ha t ' s playing in the i r hearts. "I emphasize that every person is v a l u a b l e , and t h a t there's no right way to do some-thing. I teach people to do their own t h i n g . Folk music is an extens ion of yourse l f , j u s t be yourself , don ' t t ry to compete with your neighbor"

As Motown began to shake the Motor City, Green , who wrote songs but could only play three chords on the guitar, auditioned for Barry Gordy. Some of h e r songs were published, but never recorded, by Jobete , the song-wr i t i ng d iv i s ion of Motown Records.

She was also singing at guitar masses at St. Timothy's in Tren-ton. When par i sh ioners asked her to teach them to play guitar she did and l a t e r accepted an i n v i t a t i o n to t e ach g u i t a r a t adult education classes all over Down River.

Green who says she "played very mediocre guitar* and knew enough to only teach a 10-week course, s t a r t e d t a k i n g g u i t a r .lessons. When her teacher could-n't play a gig at a local restau-rant , she Filled in. That led to other jobs singing and playing guitar at local res tauran ts and Holiday Inns and Ramada Inns. "1 was the background music," she said.

After remarrying in the 1990s, Green didn't want to work nights anymore so she enrolled in the child development program at Schoo lc ra f t College wi th t h e thought of opening her own day care center.

"1 saw a need for quality chil-dren's entertainment," she said. Teachers told Green her music was wonderful, and got her jobs. In addition to performing. Green leads t e a c h e r t r a i n i n g work-shops in music and movement for her young chi ldren. She's pro-duced two casse t t e s - "Music and M o v e m e n t for Your Kids ." a n d

music and feel good about them-selves is essent ia l to develop-ment," said Green.

In the summer she presents family concerts throughout the me t ro Detroit a r e a , including Redford, Beverly Hills, Westland, and Rochester. The res t of the

year she performs at elementary schools, commdnity events, and for senior citiien groups.

Har concerts include children's •ongB, some "moldy oldies," such as "Swinging on a Star," songs from Disney, Broadway, and the movies. "I love old songs," she said.

"The only age I cant relate to

Unlike rock and roll, there are no age b a r r i e r s in ch i ld ren '* music . "I keep th ink ing about r e t i r ing , b u t the phone keeps ringing," said Green, 58, who has three grown daughters and four grandchildren. "It's nice to know grandmas can have a career "

The Observer A EcceniriefTmmDAY, AUGUST 6 ,1998

M O tTCTEs;

Disney proves you can design a better 'Parent Trap :

Funny and touching, Disney's new "Parent Trap" is a lot like the old one, except better.

This "Parent Trap* while just as lovable as the first filmed in 1961, is technologically superior. Gone is the line down the center of the screen. Technicians using motion control cameras create a very convincing illusion of twins.

Lindsay Lohan fools the audi-ence into believing she's two dif-ferent people - Hallie, the very hip d a u g h t e r of Nick Pa rke r (Dennis Quaid) who owns a vine-yard in Napa, Calif. - and Annie, the daughter of Elizabeth James (Natasha Richardson) a feudal / gown designer in London.

Like Pa t ty Duke and he r cousin, (remember them?) these girls are as "different as night

and day," and learning to play them was a challenge for 11-year-oUf Lohan, who had to mas-ter an English accent, learn to speak French, ride a horse, fence and play poker like a card shark.

It i sn ' t love at f i r s t sight. Annie beats Hallie in a spirited fencing match. Then Hallie beats Annie a t poker. A good loser, Annie jumps naked into the lake at night, to the cheers of Hallie and her pals, but when the girls take off with her clothes, Annie vows to get even.

A series of escalating pranks leads to them both being sent to the isolation cabin where they fit two pieces of a torn picture together - Hallie's dad, Annie's mom, their parents.

F i lmmakers Nancy Meyers

and Char l e s Shyer c rea te a beautiful world of make believe where dreams, even impossible ones, come true. They even threw in another romance just for kicks - Annie's butler, Martin (Simon Kunz) recently seen in "Three Weddings and A Funeral," falls in love with Hallie's butler and surrogate mother, Chessy (Lisa Ann Walter).

Hallie wears jeans and blue nail polish. Annie dresses like a royal princess in cute suits. They switch places so Hallie can meet her mom, and Annie can meet her dad. Annie is the f i rs t to meet dad's girlfriend, Meredith Blake (Elaine Hendrdix), whom the girls nickname Cruella - the evil one.

Quaid is the perfect dad, a

girl's best friend, who's in love with his publicist, the beautiful Meredith, who everyone, except him, knows is after money.

Like a relationship, "The Par-ent Trap" is an emotional roller-coaster ride. Kids will laugh at the pranks, relate to Hallie, who can't believe Annie's never heard of "Leonardo DiCaprio," and enjoy the fantasy of divorced parents getting back together. The girls pull some amazing pranks on Meredith, during a camping trip with their dad.

Adults will eiyoy the gags and cry at stuff kids won't get, like the emotional reunion when Chessy realizes that Hallie isn't Hallie but Annie and Elizabeth learns Annie is Hallie.

Meredith is gorgeous, and easy for a girl to hate. Just for fun the filmmakers brought back Joanna Barnes, who played dad's girl-friend in the first "Parent Trap." Here she portrays Meredith's

b a t t l e e v i l i n s u r a n c e c o m p a n y Drama, suspense, humor, and

romance - John Grisham's "The Rainmaker," has it all. There's even a cameo appearance by country music superstar Randy Travis as a prospective juror

Matt Damon s ta rs as Rudy Baylor, an idealistic, big-hearted guy who tends bar to pay for law school. Unable to find a job after graduating, one of his customers asks his boss, Bruiser Stone (Mickey Rourke), a sleazy char-acter with connections in the Memphis underworld and investments in topless bars, to give the kid a chance. Stone is the kind of lawyer jokes are made of, he even has a fish tank filled with sharks in his office.

Stone introduces Rudy to Deck Shifllet (Danny DeVito), a "para-legal," who has failed the bar exam five times, and the art of ambulance chasing. Although it's not exactly what he had in mind, Rudy, who was evicted from his apartment, and has all his pos-sessions packed in his car, takes the job. He becomes a sort of lawyer on commission, who sells customers on his ability to get a really good settlement for them in exchange for one-third of the se t t l emen t . Baylor's draw is $1,000 a month, but he has to cover tha t by signing up new clients.

He walks in the door with two customers Miss Birdie (Teresa Wright) who wants him to draft her will, and Dot Black (Mary Kay Place) whose son is dying of leukemia, and refused medical treatment by her insurance com-pany

Like the salesman he played in "Tin Man," Deck (DeVito) takes Rudy under his wing and teach-es him how to sign up recent accident victims at the hospital While wai t ing for h is next prospect , Rudy meets Kelly Riker (Claire Danes) a young woman who captures his heart, as her own is being broken by an abusive husband.

Legal drama: Deck (Danny DeVito, left) and Rudy (Matt Damon) dis-cuss the Great Bene-fit insurance fraud case VKZ aThe Rain-T maker." — -

"Rainmaker" is a story about right and wrong, and standing up for what you believe in. Like a knight in shining armor, Rudy does battle against iryustice.

He battles Miss Birdie's son, who is only interested in her money not his mother's welfare; the insurance company who denies Black's son, Donny Ray Black, a bone marrow transplant that could save his life; and Cliff Riker (Andrew Shuel Kelly's abusive husband.

After Bruiser flees the FBI for the tropics, Rudy and Deck start their own law practice with Dot Black being their biggest client Together they take on Great Benefit , the evil, big money insurance company that collects premiums from poor people, but doesn't deliver benefits.

In exchange for low rent, and helping out around the yard. Rudy becomes Miss Birdie's ten-ant and protector. He also goes to battle to save Kelly

thing about this job that it's just conducive to any sort of sta-

bje relations with girlfriends or faanliea," added Kopasz while succumbing to an evil smoker's

While we're on thingB tha t make Kopasz unhappy. He explained that he is let down by the lack of promotion of "A Wilderness of Mirrors," a beauti-ful rock opera about a farmer whose life is turned upside down gfter the Roswell UFO crash and the government cover up of it.

"To be honest, the record com: pany is doing an absolutely mis-erable job of any sort of market-ing. They're a small label, and I don't expect miracles, but it's a bad situation," said Kopasz of his l l th album, released June 23.

"I feel like my musicians and myself we do our part of the job

on the writing and recording, we do everything the way we're sup-posed to with good results. They don't handle their part of the job the way I see it."

The Kentucky resident up in the Eight Mile and ington roads area of Farmington. Kopasz's music career bloomed late as he concentrated on hock-ey and debate as a student at Catholic Central High School's former campus in Detroit. He g radua ted in 1980 from the school's Redford location on West Outer Drive.

"I had almost no spare time, but I guess when I was a senior in high school I might have had two bandB in Michigan. Not a lot. Maybe the first two groups I was ever in were with guys I played hockey with "

"When I was living at home, my mother wasn' t too crazy about me going downtown to Bookies or those clubs. The best 1 could do is The Clash at a place in Warren. 1 saw a couple good groups at the Royal Oak Music Theatre . As far as being in a beer-Boaked club seeing smaller-time punk rock groups or even a local one, it never happened until I moved out of the house "

With a debate — r . attended the University of tucky. It was there that music "overwhelmed" him.

"I didn't decide (to get into the music businesa). It kind of just overwhelmed me. It wa i t h e punk rock years. We were jus t taken by it."

After graduating, he lived in New York for "a long t ime" before returning to Kentucky.

In 1988 he formed Paul K and the Weatherman which boasts an alumni of indie rock super-s tars - Will Oldham of Palace Music, Robert Pollard of Guided by Voices, Sam Wommelsdorf of Throneberry, Greg Dulli, singer of Afghan Whigs, Luke Wurmli, former harmonica player for Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, Paul Robertson brother of Michelle Shocked, and Ken Kur-son, associate editor of Esquire magazine.

He visits his parents in the Brighton area and rarely plays Detroit,

However, Friday he will per-form songs off "A Wilderness of Mirrors" at Alvin's in Detroit.

"Lately it seems like the city's

in much better shape. In the '80s I would come back and visit and it really was depressing, actually There was too much crime and everybody was moving out ," Kopasz explained about Detroit.

Making "A Wilderness of Mir-rors" was "more of a challenge" than his previous efforts.

"I write so many songs and a lot of times in the past it was you just go through and and pick the best ones and that's the record. I thought, well let's try something that's going to be more difficult. Ill make them all tell a sequen-tial story," Kopasz said.

"I probably wrote 40 songs for it. I was whittling down the list and combining songs together and getting rid of other ones "

The results may be heard on Friday. He promises to pick up his mood.

"It 's a lot of fun t rave l ing around and playing but once you've been to all the cities it gets to be a grind. Tha t even goes for Europe too. You don't get any time to talk to anybody and really see anything. You get there, do a sound check play the show, get up at 9 or 10 and do it

Sculptures take a new look at the book BACKSTASE

PASS

ANN DEUSI

We're in the thick of the big summer season on Backstage Pass, so I've

• been using this • o p space to get pre-

views of the busy fall ar ts season from our sterling roster of

^ o n - c a m e r a con-tributors. Now, I know our hosts are pros, but I

still get excited when I hear about their work So when I saw that Gerry Craig was in an exhibit called "The Sculptural Book," running through Aug. 23 at.the Cranbrook Art Museum. I immediately called.

I asked Gerry about the con-cept behind the exhibit, in which all the works refer to or incorpo-rate books. "Books have so much inherent meaning, and we're taught that they're to be treated with care and respect. Artists that alter them try.-to give them greater respect, renewed respect, because they're saying they still have cu l tu ra l significance. They're viewing them with a dif-ferent kind of life than they started with, one that's very per-sonal."

With a little prodding, Gerry told me about her works in the show. "Two pieces are from what I call The Detroit Saints Series,' works that sort of feel like hero-ic-scale Rosaries. In one, I've taken a Bible and cut the middle out and burned part of it, and hung it from a rusty chain. In altering the Bible I'm suggesting that what's holy isn't the object itself but the spirit of what's in the ideas. I'm also talking about people who burn books and think they ' re squelching the ideas those books contain. They're wrong.

"Another piece is called 'Gifts of the Magi.' The magi were the Three Wise Men. so of course it contains gold, frankincense and myrrh. It also has a science text, a ruler, a steel hook with roses inside of it that holds a collar from a fire hydrant, which I use as the sort of flat disc halo you see in medieval paintings. So I'm transferring found materials which then take on another ref-erence.

"A newer piece is called 'Cut Navel.' It's a low steel table with objects inside and text on the glass. It's long and thin, and I think of the whole thing as a scroll It has an old book inside

of it, as well as fish bones and pieces of steel and bark. It's a sort of a eulogy for a friend who died."

OK, maybe I have an ulterior motive, but this is a can't-miss show for me this summer. I asked Gerry for some post-Labor Day highlights. "In September there's a great show by Chicago artist Anne Wilson at Revolution Gallery in Ferndale. She's a pro-fessor in the Fiber Department at the School of the Chicago Art Institute. She gathers old, sec-ond-hand tablecloths to create textile pieces that incorporate embroidery. The process is a lot like darning, except she's using human hair. She places impor-tance on negat ive space, the shapes created by the edge of the hole outlined by the embroidery. The pieces are usually framed-, and are really gorgeous."

Gerry confirmed my hunch tha t there's a message in the choice of materials. "It's com-menting on the way we obsess about hair, for one thing, all the connotations. We have it all over our bodies, but the hair on our heads is what we spend all this money on. Animal hair is really valued from some animals, but not from others, like minks' hair versus cows' hair. It's question-

ing why we value some kinds of hair more than others.

"And in this case, the work takes a nurturing role, because the act of darning is an act of care, when you're darning you're lovingly putting something back together. When you're darning socks, they can be worn again, but these objects can't be used, they can only be contemplated. So she's taking the never-ending nature of housework, the repeti-tion of 'women's work,' and glori-fying it by putting it on the wall and moving it into a fine arts context, giving it a kind of honor that it hasn't had. So in that way it's a sort of feminist state-ment."

Gerry had more picks than I could fit in this space. Tune in tonight when Marsha Miro gives us a tour of the new wing of the Cranbrook Science Museum. We'll get a performance from members of the recent South African residency program at Ann Arbor's Walk & Squawk Performance Project. And we'll hear music from Swiss jazzman Moncef Genoud and pop act William Topley. That's on Back-stage Pass tonight at midnight, repeated tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. on Detroit Public Television.
