True sentiment: This plaque, adorned by a small American flag for Memorial Day, bears the true message of the day

emotional reminder in wake of Sept. 11

BY Brad Kadrich Staff WRITERBKADmCH@OE H0MEC0MM.7<ET

Dennis Shrew sbury th in k s he finally found the secret to having a great Memorial Day Parade

It starts with a warm, sunny day Have the Vietnam Veterans Color Guard leading things off, and the Plymouth-Canton Marching Band as the closmg attraction Throw in the Amencan Legion and the VFW doing the w reath ceremony, sprinkle in some Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and, voila, you’ve got the perfect parade

That’s the recipe that provided an enjoyable parade Monday, as Ply­mouth joined the nation in honoring the sacrifices made by its military men and women and remembering

those who gave their lives for their country

I think this was the best parade ” said Shrewsbury a member of the Vietnam Veterans who was orgaiiiz ing his fifth parade I thought it was a real nice parade

Yvonne Greenberg of Plymouth Township thought so, too Blinking back tears after watching the wreath ceremony, Greenberg admitted she gets “very sentimental” on Memorial Day

“I th in k these young men and women gave up their lives for us to be free,” she said “I try to come (to the parade) every year If I don’t make the ceremony, I come by the monuments alone and say a prayer ”

The parade featured the usual par­ticipants, including another sterling

Concerned about how deeply employ­ee pay reuses will force the district to dig into its pockets, the Plymouth-Can­ton Board of Education Tuesday night called for Superintendent K athleen Booher to cut the 2002-2003 proposed budget by another half-million dollars

The $500,000 request comes on the heels of $950,000 in staff, program and equipment cuts the admmistration has already presented to trustees to bal­ance the budget

Despite those cuts, plus an estimated 130 new students who will bring more state foundation money to the district] pay raises for four employee g ro u p s^ will put the budget back into the r g j j y According to updated figures releaiSl by Patricia Brand, executive director of business services a 2 percent wage hike would leave the district w ith a $777,000 budget deficit, while a 3-per cent hike would force the district $17 million into the red

“Our core business is education, but we put a lot of money into peripheral th ings to support education ,” said Trustee Susan Davis “I personally don’t think we can do everything for everybody anymore ”

Davis noted other districts qre going to pay-for-play athletics, and cutting transportation for students

“I don’t think we can say to employ­ees that you’re not going to get another raise I don’t think th a t’s ^ place to

DDA ready to whittle down list of director choicesBYTONYBRUSCATO STAFF W r it e rtb r u s c a to @ o e .h o m e c o m m .n e t

The Plymouth Downtown Develop­ment Authority has received more than 100 applications for its vacant direc­to r’s position, which has been open smce Melanie Purcell left March 17 to become budget director for the city of Flint

“The job has attracted attention from all over the country,” said Tim McK- ercher, DDA board chairm an, who

believes the new director wiU be step ping into a good situation “There’s already a pretty good foundation to build on, and still a lot of development remaining downtown, especially with the new Mayflower Centre and Wilcox condominiums ”

While Purcell spent much of her time m arke ting downtown, McKercher belietes the next DDA director will need a background in public adminis­tration

“The person we choose will be deal­

ing with a lot of small business owners, and while we still w ant to focus on marketing, there are other issues like in frastruc tu re and park ing to deal with,” said McKercher “Parking will be a big issue the next couple of years We’re gomg to repair the parking deck, but we have to determine where we go from there, especially with more people living downtown ”

The city administration will also be involved in selecting th e new DDA director In March it was determined

the new DDA director will be an at-will employee of the city, under the man­agem ent of th e city m anager, b u t directed by the DDA board of directors

At first, McKercher and DDA board member Jon Gary objected to making the new director an employee of the city, instead of fully responsible to the DDA The issue became so divisive th a t both resigned However, after meeting with Mayor Bill Graham and receiving assurances the city w asn’t

Union pickets township in effort to get contractBY BRAD kadrich Staff WRITERb k a d n c h @ o e .h o m e c o m m .n e t

Frustrated by what they perceive as a lack of good-faith bargaining on the part of Plymouth Township negotia­tors, the tow nship’s clerical union Tuesday conducted an informational picket around the township complex

More than two dozen people walked along Ann Arbor Road and Lilley before the township board meeting, carrymg signs m an effort to win sup­port for their position

“There’s been a breakdown in the process,” said Angela Tabor, the Amen­can Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees official repre­senting Plymouth Township’s Local 2959 “Things are not flowing like a norm al negotiating process would We’re not really reaching closure to a

contract ”The union, which certified in March

2000 and began negotiating in Febru­ary 2001, says more than 30 negotiat­ing sessions have been held, with no agreement m sight There are 42 arti­cles in the union’s contract proposal, and union president Nichole Hunt esti­mates the sides have come to “potential agreements” on about 25 of them

There are no “tentative agreements” on any of the 42 articles

“The umon has given its proposals to the employer, but the employer has not come back with counter-proposals,” Tabor said “With a new contract, I’m used to givmg the employer a proposal and then discussing it In this case, we’ve never been able to mesh the two together ”

Plymouth-Canton students help establish Lincoln exhibit“A child is a person who is going to carry on what you have start­ed ... the fate of humanity is in his hands.”

— A b r a h a m L i n c o l nJust as school children joined together in

1885 to help pay for the Statue of Liberty’s pedestal, each of the Plymouth-Canton stu­dents listed below have “linked up with Lin­coln” by donating more than $3,700 to help pay for the lifelike models of Abraham and M ary Todd Lincoln now perm anently installed in the Lincoln Room at the Ply­mouth Histoncal Museum

The students studied Lincoln as a model of good character and a true American hero during the months of January and February The project, titled “Link Up with Lincoln,” kicked off with a visit from Lincoln himself, as portrayed by Fred Pnebe of the Michigan Council for the Arts

Many of the students’ names were pub­lished in the May 26 issue of the Plymouth Observer The rest are provided here

Board could look into trustee’s activitiesBY BRAD KADRICH Sta ff Wr it e rb k a d n c h @ o e h o m e c o m m n e t

While questions continue to swirl around Plymouth Town ship T ru stee Abe M unfakh’s involvement with Salem Town ship and Johnson Controls over water issues, one resident has asked for an independent inves­tigation

Township resid en t Carol Levitte suggested a t Tuesday’s m eeting th a t the governor’s office is the place any investiga­tion should begin, and she urged the township board to forward information there

“I’m asking the board to con duct a proper investigation,” she said

The controversy revolves around Munfakh’s participation in talks with Detroit Water and Sewerage about adding Salem

Township as a customer Mun­fakh’s engineenng firm — Ayres Lewis Norris & May — has been consulting with Salem Township in connection with a potential move there by Johnson Controls, currently located in Plymouth Township

Several people, including Ply mouth Township Supervisor Steve Mann, have questioned Munfakh’s involvement, since he serves as a Plymouth trustee Adding Salem Township to the Detroit water system Mann con­tends, would exacerbate water pressure problems Plym outh Township is already having

“I t’s not in Plymouth Town ship’s interests, with our water problems, for one of our own elected officials helping another community (to get water),” Mann said “It’s making matters worse for us, and he’s profiting finan­

cially by doing it ”M unfakh’s critics contend

Ayres-Lewis is also working with Johnson Controls, the automo­tive supplier trying to get Salem Township to rezone land th a t borders Plymouth Township so they can build their new facility there

Munfakh denies his firm has done any work for Johnson Con­trols, but a le tter from Wade- Trim the consultant working with JCI, says, m part, “We hope our cooperation w ith Ayres, Lewis, Norris & May will be ben­eficial to both Johnson Controls and to Salem Township as we work together to advance the project ”

“The company I work for has not done any work and does not do any work for Johnson Con­trols,” Munfakh said

Since the situation first came

to ligh t, Mann said he has received correspondence from a t least five residents, questioning Munfakh’s involvement and ask­ing for remedies ranging from an investigation to M unfakh’s removal from the board

According to Mann, the town­ship’s ethics policy allows the board to also sit as the Board of Ethics He wouldn’t comment on w hether any kind of official investigation in to M unfakh woqld be considered

“I don’t want to comment on that,” Mann said “The issue is not over I’m going to bring all the inform ation I have, the inquiries I’ve received, to the board and let them decide what they want to do with it I t’s to© early to make it a closed issue ”

Munfakh had no comment at Tuesday’s board meeting

P i c k e t s f r o m p a g e A 1

Steve Mann disagreed with that assessment, saying it’s the union that’s being unreasonable

“They refuse to discuss eco nomic issues,” Mann said “'They insisted on ironing out the non­economic issues first, and there are a lot of those If they would have given us an (economic) package when we started negoti ations, we would have had a con tract long ago ”

Tabor sa id the union has asked the township to give raises to workers, who haven’t had a pay increase since 1999, and then continue talkmg

“That would be the right thing to do,” Tabor said “B ut (the township) said ‘absolutely not ’”

The union, which represents 36 clerical positions (two of which have remained unfilled), points to talks about health care

■ Since negotiations began, the union has fiied 27 unfair iabor practice ciaims against the township.

as an example According to Tabor, the township has told the union they want to reduce health care costs by having employees pay an increased percentage of a certain expense, but fails to say what that number would be

“They say ‘a percentage of a number,’ but don’t tell us what that number is,” Tabor said “I can’t read minds anymore ”

Mann agrees the township is targeting health care, one of the rising costs in the township It’s been an issue in other contract

negotiations“You can look a t th e o ther

unions we’ve reached agreement with,” Mann said “We have been targeting health care for cost reductions It’s an area that con­tinues to rise ”

Since negotiations began, the union has fiied 27 unfair labor practice claims against the town­ship According to Mann, the5 ve voluntarily dropped 14 of them

“We believe m any of the remaining claims will be proven frivolous,” Mann said

B ut Tabor said th ey were dropped simply because they no longer apply

“The issues are no longer issues, some of them surrounded people no longer em ployed there,” she said “A lot of those were filed because of things they were doing to individuals, and

since those individuals are no longer working there, there is no remedy for us to seek ”

W hile M ann to u ts recen t agreements with other unions as proof the township is fair in its bargaining, the president of at least one other union supports the AFSCME position

Chris Mack, president of the firefighters local, who recently agreed to a new contract, said the clerical workers are “doing what they have to do ”

“It’s a hard battle that people have to do,” Mack said “TheY deserve a contract, just like any­one else I t’s a long, hard pro­cess I support AFSCME m whet they’re doing Their negotiations should be farth e r along than, that 'They shouldn’t be at square one They should be just about finished ”

The Plymouth Township board Tues­day night approved the replacement of three fire departm ent rescue vehicles the fire chief says have been eating up thousands of dollars in repair costs

The township will instead pay nearly8406,000 to buy th ree m edium -duty emergency medical vehicles to replace a pair of 1994 rescue vehicles and a 1992 model The money for this purchase was placed in the township’s last budget,

“Em ergency response vehicles are subject to more wear and tear than the average vehicle,” said Fire Chief Larry Groth “The rescues we have now have really outlived their usefiilness ”

The vehicles will be purchased from Rolland Specialty Vehicles and Prod ucts, the low bidder in the process who has serviced the township for more than 20 y ea rs , acco rd ing to G ro th The $405,752 p u rch a se p rice is n e a rly $50,000 below the estimated amount

th a t established the fire departm ent, the city contributes 25 percent of the department’s budget The township con trols the purse strings, so city manager Paul Sincock said he didn t know any­th in g about the purchase u n til la te Tuesday afternoon

‘I knew this was a discussion item, but I didn t know they were in a pur­chase mode,” Sincock said “The fire chief hasn’t even discussed the m atter with me, so it’s hard to make a determi­nation as to w hether the purchase is necessary or not ”

G roth in s is ts i t is because of th e repairs necessary to the three vehicles

in question, and Sincock agrees there “are a lot of repairs ”

“New brakes are constantly going into these vehicles,” Groth told the township board Tuesday “We have put thousands of dollars into these vehicles ”

n In w h a t may have been a record night for spending for the fire depart­ment, the township board also approved spending more than $72,000 on equip­ment designed to clear Fire Stations 2 and 3 of esdiaust futties

The equipment, to be purchased from Hastmgs Air Energy Control in Milwau kee. Wise , is designed to capture and remove 100 percent of exhaust fumes, a standard required by NFPA guidelines.

according to firefighter Scott Gross, who put the package together

The equipm ent will be in sta lled in S tation 2 on Wilcox and S tation 3 on Beck, but will not be installed in Station 1 at the township complex on Ann Arbor Road

“We’re anticipatihg a new home (for S tation 1), so i t would be a w aste of money to pu t th is equ ipm ent here assistan t chief M ark Wendell told the board, referring to the township’s plans to build a new township hall complex “This is a health and safety issue for our firefighters ”

“I enjoy doing it, whether it be ram or sh ine,” said Penn, the city’s building official “I t ’s a time to meet and work with peo­ple who are ded ica ted to the com m unity and environm ent, and who want to make a differ­ence ”

This y e a r ’s Rouge Rescue, which 18 now called River Day , will be held Saturday along the Tonquish Creek banks a t Lions Park, located a t Burroughs and Harding

I t ’s one of 24 cleanup sites

■ This year’s Rouge Rescue, which is now caiied River Day, wili be held Saturday along the Ton­quish Creek banks at Lions Park, located at Buh roughs and Harding.

“We’ve found some very inter­esting items over the years,” said Penn “We’ve found a car hood, car seats, car batteries, shopping cars and even some fence posts ”

Volunteers should wear long pan ts and long-sleeved sh irts, boots or old shoes Each volun­teer will receive a River Day T- shirt for helping in the effort

make cuts,” added Davis “I think we’ll be chal­lenged ever so greatly in the next few years unless something different happens in Lansing ”

Booher, who noted it took eight weeks to come up with the first round of cuts, said the adminis­tration will be challenged to come up with more

‘ I th ink i t ’s going to be very difficult to stay away from any areas tha t will illicit a lot of atten­tion because it will affect more employees, and per­haps students, in more ways th a t are more notice­able than the $950,000 we were able to generate,” Booher said Those areas, mentioned during the meeting, could include athletics, transportation and curriculum

Among the cuts already on the table are a reduc­tion of fou,r elementary teaching positions and a middle school teacher, $250,000, the district’s allo­cation of funds for fie ld tr ip tra n sp o rta tio n , $90,000, athletic expenditures, $65,000, and gener­al budget reductions, $50,000

Trustee Judy Mardigian said taking the addi­tional money out of the district’s fund equity would give the district time, but she would ra th e r find the additional cuts immediately

“Taking the steps now will be a lot less painful than doing them after school is open,” she said

M ardigian, who proposed the adm in istra tion look for an additional million dollars in cuts, said the $400,000 for a new elem entary and middle school language arts program might be a place to start as well as selling old school buses

“I don’t have all the answers, but I’d like to chal-

Among the cuts already on the table are a reduction of four elementary teaching positions and a middle school teacher, $250,000; the dis­trict’s allocation of funds for field trip transportation, $90,000; athletic expenditures, $65,000; and general budget reductions, $50,000.

lenge the adm inistration to go back and take a look a t it, with the proviso that we don’t look at classroom teachers first, that we do pretty much whatever else we can ”

Booher made it clear she doesn’t favor cutting the language arts program, but didn’t count it out as one of the future recommendations

“I t would be very unfortunate to target a new curncuium development, particularly one th a t is the basic literacy for education,” she said “So, I think we’re definitely going to have to look a t what the other options are And, because they get into such strong philosophy about w hat the public school IS able to provide or should provide, they will be very difficult topics for the board ”

The Board of Education will have to make some quick decisions because, as required by law, next year’s budget needs to be passed by June 30

The O bserver & Eccen tric ! THURSDAY, MAY 30, 2002 (P)A»

C a n to n w o m en ta c k le l i feBY A u c E A sh m o reS T A F F W R IT E R

The idea of w om en p lay ing full-contact professional football may seem odd to some, but the creation of the D etroit Danger has provided the opportunity of a lifetime for two Canton women

“Actually, this is a dream come true for me,” said Lisa Ryan, 36, who plays outside linebacker for the Danger

The N ational Women’s Foot­ball League is in it’s second year With the Danger being a second season expansion team

Ryan has had a lifetime love of football “I ’ve alw ays enjoyed playing and watching football ”

She tried to play on the foot­ball team m junior high, but was turned down

“I showed up w ith a group of girls and we were not given the opportunity to try out I t was treated like a joke,” Ryan said

The Dearborn Heights native also plays on special teams, both on kick-off and punt returns

But she has duties not shared by her male professional coun­terparts

Ryan juggles professional foot ball w ith h e r career as an in ­p a tie n t p sy c h ia tric n u rse a t Sinai-Grace Hospital, m arriage and motherhood to three young children

“I have a great supportive hus­band, Bill, who picks up a lot of the slack,” Ryan said, “He allows me to be me ”

She said her employer has also been very flexible “I can’t get over how supportive everybodyIS ”

Ryan ti;ied“Out for the team in February “I started train ing in January for tryouts next fall, but because some of the girls didn’t like the terms of their contract, the team had some openings ”

“I had only two weeks to pre­pare ” Yet, she made the cut

She describes her attitude as “relentless ”

The N ational Women’s Foot ball League plays by the same rules as the NFL with two excep­tions “We play w ith a sm aller fpotball, and can complete a pass with only one foot m bounds ”

She likes playing defense T ^ jo y tackling - its a lot fun

R yan ad m its th e gam e h as b^een hard on her body It takes quite a toll I ve had four broken fingers jam m ed fingers and a knee injury

She stand 5 feet 7 inches and weighs 146 pounds I m not big but I’m tough ”

H er C anton team m ate , Bev McManus, 39, is equally deter mined

She attributes her presence on |h e Danger to “a lot of hard work

sweat It was very time con­suming ”

The m arried m other of three so operates a home-based busi­

ness, In-Home Executive Ser- ^ces She also gives credit to her husband Jim “I couldn’t do this Without him ”

M cM anus t ire d -o u t for th e team with 225 other women “To m ake i t w as qu ite a n accom ­plishment ”

She plays running back for the banger, or did until a helmet to th e k n ee p laced h e r on th e injured reserve list

“At 5-feet-4-inches tall and 140 pounds, I was one lean machine” M cM anus h as su rg e ry to

i^epair a torn an te rio r cruciate Jfigament (ACL) in her knee last F rid ay “I was ju s t devastated ih a t it required surgery ” The Injury will cause her to miss the i'est of the Danger’s season I McManus dreamed of playing p ro fe ss io n a l b a s k e tb a ll , b u t ^adly, women’s professional bas­ketball did not exist a t tha t time, hhe said* She played varsity basketball fo r four y e a rs w hile in h ig h school

Even su rg e ry to rem ove a hen ign tu m o r from h e r sk u ll 9 0 uld not keep her off the bas ketbail courtI I have my surgery in July and played my firs t gam e in Octo b e r,” she sa id “I h a d to p lay w ith pro tective head g ear my whole senior year ” It was a full four years before

her skull had healed sufficiently for h e r to play sports w ithout head protection

McManus said, “The moral of that story is the you can do any- thmg you put your mind to ”

She is determ ined to make a comeback from her knee surgery too ‘Wou know. I'm gomg to beat the odds ”

reactionsR yan sa id h e r invo lvem en t

|v ith the D etroit D anger team h a s m et w ith m ixed reac tio n mom other women

“I ta lk to some w om en who know and are excited about it, and o th e rs who d o n 't h av e a

clue ”Ryan said the women playing

in the NWFL range m age from 18 to 58, w ith 21 teams in the league

“I t ’s so exciting to be on a team,” Ryan said She said she is reminded of the movie, A L ea g u e o f T h e i r O w n , about women’s p ro fessiona l baseba ll du ring World War II

She hopes there will be a time when women can actually make a living playing professional foot ball Currently, players receive a small stipend a t the end of the

season“The wages aren’t tha t great,”

Ryan said “It’s nothing tha t you can make a living at, but there ishope ”

“I just want everyone to know that this league is out there, and to come w atch us p lay ,” M cM anus said “ You w ill be absolutely amazed It’s at a level tha t IS incomprehensible ”

City’s lack of presence in parade was offensive

A beautiful day dawned Monday for Ply­mouth’s annual Memorial Day parade

The sun was shimng, the Plymouth-Can ton M arching Band was playing, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and Brown les were all over the place

On the dais were a pair of state represen­tatives, a s ta te senator, the Plymouth Township supervisor, and members of sev­eral veterans orgeinizations

And not a city representative m sight No mayor No mayor pro-tem Not a sin

gle city commissioner Sure, city police off! cers helped keep the parade route safe, and municipal services workers were on hand to set up, take down and clean up

But not one elected official from the City of Plymouth was on hand to honor the sac­rifices the men and women of this country have made to make sure we live the kmd of life Americans are used to living Not one elected representative of the city was even in the crowd, much less on the dais

Now, we understand people have choices to make and lives to lead City commission ers certainly had the nght to choose to go to the summer cottage, or get out on the lake, or go somewhere with family or to simply sleep in Mayor Bill Graham, for instance, can certainly be excused for bemg out of the state for a two-week vacation

But the residents who lined the street for the 7 30 a m parade certainly also have the right to be put off by the commissioners’

boycott of the parade Parade organizers who issued invitations certainly have the n g h t to be upset by the lack of any response to those invitations

Mostly, though, veterans from all over the area absolutely have the right to be offended by the callous disregard for them displayed in the lack of participation

We understand the parade is organized by someone with whom city commissioners have battled, who is a regular contnbutor to and political ally of a tabloid pubhcation that routinely blasts them for nearly every action they take It’s tough to swallow your pnde and get involved m somethmg being run by someone with whom you’ve had so many heated disagreements

But it’s a piece of crow that should have been swallowed, en masse, by city commis­sioners If they wanted to make a sta te­ment, commissioners could have drawn straws or arm wrestled, w ith the loser standing m as the city’s appointed face The parade moves through the heart of the city, for crying out loud

The Memorial Day parade should not be treated as a political football by anyone, not when the country is pulling itself up by its bootstraps post-Sept 11

What better time to show up, stand unit ed and wear a look of American pride on your face’

It would have looked better than the egg that’s there now

Voters best served with Horvath, Lamar, Staley

Over the next few weeks, voters have an opportunity to help shape the future of the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools dis- i;rict With three open school board seats, 11 candidates and basic differences m phi­losophy between some and the current administration, the electorate’s role looms large

The Observer has previously endorsed M ark H o rv a th and Jo a n n e L am ar for bur-year terms on the Plymouth-Canton Board of Education, and IM^cy Staley for slection to the imexpired one-year term she was appomted to last fall

We reitera te those choices today and remmd those going to the polls on June 10, IS well as those votmg by absentee ballot, >f our reasons behind them I Horvath, 43, of Canton, is a former school board president who decided not to seek re- election four years ago He will bring knowledge and experience - as well as a Inuch needed cntical eye - to the board

Horvath has pledged to open up commu pication between the board, Supermten Hent Kathleen Booher’s admmistration and the public Horvath is smcere m his belief

that the district has moved off track m sev eral key areas including keeping the Tal ented and Gifted Program m magnet school form and pressing for smaller elementary class sizes

We believe he will advocate these posi­tions with a strong, yet reasonable style that encourages civil debate at the board table

Lamar, 51, of Plymouth Township offers the board the perspective of a parent who has seen two children make th e ir way through the entire K-12 experience

We like her open approach to problem­solving She IS willing to listen to all sides and doesn’t believe board members or adm in istra to rs always have all the answers

Staley, a 45-year-old Canton resident, has turned m a solid performance since her appointment to fill the vacancy created when trustee Steve Gmle moved out of the district

We support her election to the remammg year of his term and encourage her to be a more frequent participant in public discus­sions, as well as behind the scenes

River volunteers are making a differenceI Saturday IS River Day ; It was 16 years ago that volunteers first gathered to clean up the Rouge River The river was polluted w ith chemicals and plocked with debns Volunteers dressed in leaders and long rubber gloves climbed in Jo drag everything from tree branches to ^utom obiles from the sluggish brown ivater

Every year since, the Friends of the has gathered volunteers m Wayne

id Oakland counties to work at making Rouge a healthy waterway The concept

las expanded to take in the Huroff and iton rivers m what has become an annu

celebration of our vital water system I Recent concerns about attempts to chan­nel Great Lakes water to distant locations and the harvesting of Michigan ground water by Pem er, have made us more aware bf just how important our water system is a The Rouge, Huron and Clinton rivers pave been the lifeblood of our industrial Hevelopment but they are also important ^ r recreational use and for sustaining ^lant and animal wildlife

This year, an estimated 1,600 volunteers ^11 pa^cipate at 24 sites dong the Rouge In Wayne and Oakland counties The suc­cess in clearing out the river has shifted ^ e focus for some areas to other projects §uch as stream^ank stabiliz^ation and the Witroduction of native plants along the fiver

In recent years some non native plants such as the beautiful but strangling purple loosestrife have taken over the area Volun­teers will be removmg these invaders and replacing them with native plants

Other programs planned for this year include bird house building, storm dram stenciling, parkside clean up and environ­mental education programs

Volunteer work and government pro­grams have helped turn the fortunes of the Rouge around Once regarded as one of the nation’s most polluted river systems, the Rouge has shown dramatic improvement in water quality and the ability to sustam fish and wildlife

More than 50 miles of the Rouge flows through public parklands, making it one of the most accessible nvers in the country

“It seems every year, more communities are getting mvolved and trying to encour­age as many volunteers as possible to come out and clean up the Rouge,” said Carolyne Foster, managing director of Friends of the Rouge “The communities are recognizing the Rouge does have problems, and it needs our help ”

We have long supported these efforts and urge everyone to take some time on River Day to either volunteer or at least take some time to consider how important these nvers are to the health of our communities

Happy River Day*

Lack of respectPlease accept this as an open letter

to the citizens of the city of Plymouth and to the members of the Plymouth City Commission

For the past five years, the Memon- al Day Parade has been managed by a committee of Plymouth veterans groups, including the Vietnam Veter­ans, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion, working cooper­atively to honor those who sacrificed to protect our fireedom

We believe that the citizens of Ply­mouth appreciate and support our efforts

For the past two years, however, the Plymouth City Commission, ALL seven of them, have apparently refused to participate in any way in the parade

In 2001, every commissioner and the mayor was sent a personal letter invit­ing them to be in the parade, sit on the stage and be introduced to the commu­nity

Not a single one of them either attended or even had the courtesy to RSVP to the committee

Once again, in 2002, a personal invi­tation was sent to each commissioner and the mayor And once again, not a single commissioner or the mayor either responded or appeared a t the parade

I am writing to let the citizens know the disdain this commission apparent­ly has for veterans, for the community and for the citizens of the city of Ply­mouth

I am disgusted with their lack of commumty involvement But I bet the ones who are up for re-election this year will w ant to participate But there may not be enough chairs for them n e ^ year

■ Firemen didn’t knowOver the past few weeks there have

been a lot of allegations about fire fighters being overpaid in the year 2000 This situation has gotten totally out of hand

This administration would have you believe that the firefighters intention­ally and knowingly did this Nothing could be further from the tru th

During this time of the alleged over­payments these firemen were in paramedic school and working • upwards of 100 hours a week of over­time — that’s 200 hours on a pay- check With tha t amount of hours it’s hard, if not impossible, to tell if you were overpaid or underpaid for tha t fact, 12 hours of overtime on a check

Some of these firefighters were on duty five days in a row - that’s 120 hours straight without going home to see their families or get a night of sleep Yet this admmistration expects them to be m top form and notice a ciencal error on their paychecks

I realize that this is a substantial amount of money and I would want nothing less than my politicians tiying to rectify this»situation

Local 1496 Plymouth Community Firefighters would like to go on record tha t a t this time we know as much as you, the citizens of this community We have not been given any documen­tation or evidence tha t an overpay­ment even exists or to who the over­payment was given

So I am asking the public not to think less of its firefighters We know as much as you do about this situation

■ Shame on JCIJu s t finished reading about how

Johnson Controls promises to be “envi­ronmentally responsible” when they move to Salem

Well, how environmentally responsi­ble can they really be’

Think of all the precious resources required to build their current site and now they want to do the same thing all over again (in an exercise th a t will surely require more resource? than the first time) just so they can move a few miles down the road?

And what's to happen to the current facility’

W hat an u tter waste and shame And speaking of shame shame on Johnson Controls for even suggesting they are gomg to be responsible envi­ronmentally

Board should review policies to put them in proper context

Roland Thomas

Last week the Board of Education began putting i ts f in a l s tam p of approval on a new set of policies that will change the board’s governance

activities The senes of four policies are Organi­sational Purpose (senes 1000), Executive Limita iions (series 2000), B oard/S taff Relationships (Series 3000) and Board Governance (series 4000)

During this school year the board will put all these revised/new policies in place except for the l^xecutive L im itations Series 1000, 3000 and 4000 are expected to take effect July 1,2002

During the la s t meeting several of us voiced senous concerns about the probability that these policies, as w ritten, contained violations of the Open Meetings Act and a board member’s right to free speech After much discussion, the board committed to fixing those sections tha t would have violated these fundamental nghts

There are, however, several parts of these poli­cies th a t we should be concerned with F irst will the rew ntten version of the policies, in fact, sup­port the commitments made by the board‘d Only time will tell

The Board Governance Policy was approved with changes and it does not have to come back to the board for a vote Organizational Purpose and Board/Staff Relations will be given to the board to approve prior to the end of the school year

Second, is there adequate board oversight to ensure the financial and operational integrity‘s Should oversight include both results and pro­cesses^

Quite frankly, we do not know because the poli­cy on Executive Limitations )s not done and prob­ably will not be until well into the next school year W hat we do know is tha t the board will only be measuring results, NOT processes

All of us have seen processes th a t achieve results, but they are efficient, effective, legal, eth­ical and m oral O perational oversight m eans being cognizant of how things are going to be done and making sure they are efficient, effec tive, legal, ethical and moral

We elected our board members to make sure they watch over the operation and the finances of our schools IT IS THEIR JOB^' We did not elect the board to be a rubber stamp for the superin­ten d en t The M ichigan Association of School Boards says th a t among a school board s respon sibilities IS ‘ to monitor and assess the distnct’s performance ”

How can you assess the efficiency and effective ness of the district without looking at processes'?

Third, none of the policies addresses the cold

shoulder citizens get when they ask a question or raise an issue a t a board meeting AH they have put into their policy is the same old stuff “Dur­ing th is tim e (public participation a t a boa;:d meeting), the board listens to comments fron^4he public but does not engage in dialogue o^r^nder decisions In general, such issues will ^ referred to the superintendent for handling appropri­ate The Superintendent shall advise the Board of the final disposition ”

Fourth, does the new policy place too much power in the hands of the board president*? Is there a clear definition of the president’s role and responsibilities'? W ithout clear guidelines and definition of the president’s role and responsibili­ty we ju st don’t know

By law , board m em bers have equal power, voice and vote The “Duties of Board President” is w ntten without clarify and definition For exam­ple, there is no definition of w hat it -means to “have general charge of the affairs of the board ” While policies are generally meant to be w ntten broadly, this one requires clanty and definition to prevent an abuse of power

In addition, the president is to be “recognized as the official spokesman for the board ” There are no guidelines, definitions or roles and respon­sib ilities outlined in th is policy In th e past, board presidents have acted as facilitators and each board member has had the n g h t and obliga­tion to speak for the board on those issues and item s th a t the board h as e ith e r voted on or reached a consensus on

At least once m the past 22 months the presi­dent has acted on his own to establish a board position This part of the policy needs to provide the president with clear role, guidelines, defini­tions and specific responsibilities

Last, should the board, before implem enting any one of these policies, review and approve all the policies'? My 35 years of business experience and my 17 years on the Board of Education tells me th a t you cannot ad e q u a te ly rev iew and approve policies m a whole context without all the policies being reviewed a t the same time

^Vhen the policies that we are presently using were first put into place, we reviewed all of them at the same time to ensure there was a logical sequence to what we were trjang to accomplish

These policies have some very well-wntten sec­tions However, I would urge the Board of Educa­tion to take the time to finish w ntm g all of them and then read them all in context Im plem ent these policies when they are all completed

Still green sideThis letter is wntten to Bob Mackleby, who

accused me of false statements regarding teachers salanes raise of 7 5 percent for six years He said it never happened Please look up the past contracts and you will see I am correct

I have lived in the Northville school distnct for 45 years and they did the same thing

My teacher clients were all making salaries of $60,000 or more when they retired For early retire­ment they received a bonus of $60,000 (paid in year­ly installments of $6,000 for 10 years) No state income tax and that isn’t all bad

The problem we have today is the younger genera­tion wants to be where their parents are today Today when I visit their homes, they seem to have accomplished m 10 years what us old-timers took 50 years I only hope it is true

All my friends of 50 years or more feel the same a^ I do We have lived in the best of times I put my two boys through college and law school and I figured li; cost $22,000 to $25,000 per year Today it costs $25,000-$30,000 for just one I didn’t want them \ commg out of law school with a big debt Lucky me and I know it The harder I worked the luckier I got Try it

After 41 yearn of self employment I thmk I can see retirement coming It has been 41 years since I have had a headache or backache so leaving the corporate world hasn’t been all bad

I do not hate a soul in this world and I am not jealous or anyone no matter how rich they are

If you want to find out what kind of person and landlord I am, ask my office renters I hadn’t raised the rent in five years until two years ago and water rates went up and are still going up, property taxes, insurance rates are also mcreasing along with main­tenance costs

I’ve had plenty of good breaks m life and I’m pass- mg it on and I Imow they appreciate it Today I’m 79 and when people ask me how I am, I tell them I’m still green side and that is all that counts

D e a n H . L e n h e i s e r P l y m o u t h

■ Issue one-sidedOver the past year or so, many articles have

appeared m local newspapers discussing situations 'Concerning the Plymouth Community Fire Depart ment These articles include, but are not lim it^ to, the township admimstration’s position against NFPA1710, police and fire wages versus that of administrators, the firing of a firefighter and most recently the articles of the alleged overpayment to the firefighters

To fully understand all of these issues would take up considerable space and time I’m sure they will be brought up again in the near future However, they all have one thing m common and that is the issue of only being one sided and that is the side of the administration of Plymouth Township

The recent articles on the township’s overpajnnent to their firefighters is one very good example of feed­ing mismformation to the public by the politicians of this community I have been a resident serving this commumty as a professional firefighter for more than 20 years and I have withstood many question­able administrations and many self-serving politi­cians who have come and gone, leaving the citizens holding the bag

This past attempt to discredit members of this fire department by (Plymouth Township Treasurer Ron) Edwards and his admimstration is not only unpro­fessional, but irresponsible, unethical and question­able on the legality of his accusations

Edwards forgot to mention m any of his state­ments that fire department members had no knowl­edge of any overpayments, qnd that no member, even to this date, has been presented with any docu­mentation or explanation of the circumstances of what actually transpired

It was also not mentioned or explained that the timeframe for which this might have taken place was When the mqjonty of the fire-department mem­bers were in paramedic school or working shift over­time to cover for five 24-hour shift^ m a row ard usually averaging more than 100 hpurs of overtime a week \

1 can possibly understand how the payroll depart­ment might have been overwhelmed With all the hours they had to calculate, because We were totally overwhelmed with the hours that were worked However, I don’t understand why the Marne is shift­ed to the fire department

Edwards and (Plymouth Community Fire Chief Larry) Groth, I take exception to what llbelieve is a f challenge to my integrity and to being threatened m the newspaper with legal action because, ^ r reasons only known to yourselves, you have not yet )i^perly approached the members involved to discuss tlhe sit­uation Is this because you are not sure of the situV- tion or is it a lack of management*? You have proper channels to handle situations like these instead of publicly making accusations that have no merit

(Plymouth Township Supervisor Steve) Mann, I hope that you can find the time to attend to this sit­uation for it has not only been inappropriate, but irresponsible

I believe there should be some major concerns from the citizens of this commumty about these alle­gations and I’m in full favor of a total disclosure and investigation into the practices of this administra­tion

Ralph Chapman might have a point about restitu­tion Who’s going to pay back the thousands of dol­lars for the illegal finng of a firefighter*? Who’s going to pay back the momes lost in a settlement for the Harvey case*? Who’s going to pay for the next costly administrative mistake*?

And Mr Chapman, you are probably just another misinformed taxpayer who is misled by not receiving all of the facts from your politicians You should look up the word ignorance'

Rouge River project receives recognition

The Am erican Academy of Environm ental Engineers has awarded CDM the Superior Achievement Award for the Rouge River National Wet W eather Demonstration Project as part of the academy’s 2002 Excellence in Environmental Engineering competition

The re s to ra tio n an d reh a b ilita tio n p lan began in 1992, addressing the more than 400“Square-mile watershed The pro* ject^s mam goals were to restore and protect water quality, con­trol combined sewer overflows and other sources of pollution, and implement watershed management practices

g CDM assisted Wayne County throughout the project’s duration w ith designing and establishing pollution abatement facilities, design criteria, and best management practices to restore the nver’s degraded water and animal habitats Major reaches of the nver th a t had not met w ater quality standards for dissolved oxy­gen for decades now do, and there are aesthetic improvements, recreational development and evidence of increased aquatic life

Schoolcraft College’s board of trustees gave President Conway Jeffress a favorable evaluation and app roved ra is e s for two groups of s ta ff a t i ts m eeting May 22

The executive administration, w hich in c lu d es S ch o o lcra ft’s h ighest-rank ing officials, was given a 2 5 p e rc e n t ra is e in salary Full- and part-time non­union support staff also got a 2 5 percent raise

“The evaluation of the board was very com plim entary,” said Jeffress, who m akes $130,000 per year

The t ru s te e s sa id Je ffre ss , Schoolcraft’s first-year president, has been very efficient Jeffress replaced longtim e Schoolcraft president Richard McDowell last year

“The p res id en t’s eva lua tion w en t ex trem ely w e ll,” board

C hair Carol Strom sa id “Board mem­bers were extremely p leased w ith h is accomplishments ”

“We’re very p leased w ith th e way the college has gone th is y e a r ,”Trustee Mary Breen sa id “The t r a n s i ­tion was extremely smooth ”

Jeffress will likely g e t a ra ise ,although the board m ust vote on it and specific figures were not avail­ab le He sa id he th o u g h t h is increase should be the same as the other groups

“Philosophically, I think tha t’s proper,” Jeffress said

Jill O’Sullivan, vice president of business and finance, sa id th a t the board gave the execu­tive a d m in is tra tio n and non­union support staff raises to try to keep up with the cost of living

Conway Jeffress

“I th in k it w as a good decision on the board ’s p a r t ,” she said

Executive adm in­i s t r a to r s m ake $65,134-$94,696 per year The non-union support staff makes $96,125-$66,872 per year

The b o a rd also discussed Collective bargaining in closed session C ontracts with four of the col­leg e’s u n io n s end

this summer“I f th e re a re no b ig c ris is

issues to talk about, th a t implies things will go smoothly,” Jeffress said

Steven Berg, who took over as president of the Faculty Forum May 3, said he expects smooth negotiations over the summer

“I th ink th a t they’re going to go well and 1 anticipate th a t will continue,” he said “We surveyed

th e fac u lty to f in d o u t w h a t issues are important ”

The Faculty Forum is School­craft’s largest union w ith more than 500 members The college has not has a strike since the 1970s

“We tiy to treat all employees eqmtably,” O’Sullivan said

In other actionArchitects Tom Mathison and

Harry Diamond presented a pre- hm m aiy report of possible reno­vations for the campus

“T here w as a classroom c ru n c h ,” M ath ison sa id “We w an ted to m ake su re we had both short- and long-term needs identified ”

The possib le ren o v a tio n s would make the layout of cam­pus b u ild in g s e a s ie r for s tu ­dents

The cost would be more than $49 million A final plan will be presented to the board in June

“One of the issues is the pnon- tization of this,” Jeffress said

The jagged line of the fence cuts like so many knives through the heart In the background, an early morning mist sets a haunting tone This IS the battle ground m Gettys burg where 52,000 men lost their lives during the Civil War

Even if Brother Vmcent Reyes had n’t relayed the story behind the pho­tograph he took, the image left me wondering about the eene landscape That’s the power of photography It captures the history of places and people, or simply a moment m time In the case of Gettysburg, the black and white print documents the sacred ground, and it’s why Reyes chose to donate it to an on-line auction of pho tographs to benefit the Capuchm Soup Kitchen m Detroit where he serves as pastoral director

Sacred Ground: B ro ther V in­cen t R eyes took th is p h o to ­g ra p h on the G ettysburg battle g ro u n d where 52,000 m en lost th e ir lives

■ The first people touched by the project were photog­raphers. They wanted to tell the story o f what Is sacred in the world and support the soup kitchen. They were touched by what their work would accom­plish. That it would touch the lives of many thou­sands of people who make use of the soup kitchen. Everyone wants to feel that they’ve made some kind of imprint on the world.’

The V is io n s o f th e S a c r e d Web site, WWW visionsacred org, features color and black and white images of men, women, children and nature that 45- photojoumalists found sacred in the world For a second year Reyes called on shooters he knows in the business to donate the photographs recently exhibited a t Andiamo’s m Bloomfield Hills Reyes has called on all his con­nections in the community to make the auction a success Last year,7,000 people were fed with proceeds from the project

“The first people touched by the project were photographers,” said Reyes who’s exhibited his photo graphs in the SnapOne Fme Arts shows in Novi and Livonia “They wanted to tell the story of what is sacred in the world and support the soup kitchen They were touched by what their work would accomplish That it would touch the lives of many thouseinds of people who make use of the soup kitchen Everyone wants to feel th a t they’ve made some kind of im pnnt on the world ”

“I’m very grateful to all of the photographers,” said Reyes, a Franciscan friar “They donated two prints each, one for the auc­tion and one to surround people who come to the soup kitchen w ith images of creation, things of beauty

“Through my own photogra­phy I like to tell the story of cre­ation and make people appreci a te th e k ingdom of God S t Francis said friars are to preach constantly and only if necessary are they to use words ”

There is no Maria a t M aria’s Front Room, a romantically styled restaurant in downtown Femdale

“There never was,” said owner Buddy Orlando “It’s just a good Italian name ”

His parents, Joan and Carl Orlando, were the founders, 22 years ago, of what w as th en called M aria’s P izzeria in Detroit’s Rosedale Park neighborhood The family restaurant a t Grand River and Outer Drive became legendary for its old-style Italian specialties

That hentage has been preserved at M ana’s Front Room, so named because

T o o g o o d t o b e

t r u e ? H e ' l l p u t

t h i s w a s h e r

t o t h e t e s t

A few months ago I received a call from a company in Ohio that manufactures a washing machine

not available in any store across the country They only produce around 500 of these washers per year and sell them to people who call them or find out about the product In business since 1976, they started making this washer in 1994, and are well known in the commercial laundry industry

They are now seeking my assistance to help them launch this product m the regular retail industry

At this pomt I must tell you that I am not going to give you infor­mation on this

■ The answer given me is one that I've never heard before in the appliance industry. ”We have no serv­ice personnel in the coun­try nor do we feel a need for them. This washer can

by any pe^

driver." And folks, he was­n't kidding.

company, not until I do a lot more research So far, they have come to my home with the washer in a trailer and they showed me the inner workings

It IS so amaz ing that anyone can build a washer this sim pie that I asked the important question of who they have in dif ferent areas authorized to do the warranty repairs if need ed The answer given me is one that I ve never heard before in the appliance

industry ' We have no service personnel in the country nor do we feel a need for them This washer can be repaired by any person that can hold a screwdriv­er " And folks, he wasn t kidding

They give you a book on how to make necessary repairs and a direct phone line to an engineer at the factory Can you believe it* A washer so simple that you can do all the repairs yourself You have read my thoughts on how expen­sive the cost IS today of electronic con­trols on mmor home appliances Well, this washer uses an old fashioned timer with the three necessary cycles to do any wash lijad plus they have, can you believe it, t^o nnse cycles Simple turn knobs for water temperature and load size like the old days And it is not a front loader like everybody is commg out with It meets the energy star rat- mg set forth by the U S Energy Regula­tion Agency, holds sixteen bath towels and uses only 1 ounce of detergent The tubs are stainless steel and you can even get the washer cabinet m brushed stainless steel

The wash cycle is only 32 mmutes long, which means finally, there is a washer that does the job faster than the clothes dryer I m telling you that this thing IS just out of this world and yet today as you are reading this, I still am not ready to give you a name or place to contact Wait, I forgot some­thing It spins so smooth that you can balance a mckel on its' edge, and the mckel will not fall down Try that on your current washing machme

“The pub style version of chairs and outdoor bars a re perfec t for decks,” Krawszyk, th e R ochester manager, said “"rhe chairs and the bar are high People like to see over the edge of the deck, ra th e r th an have a view of wooden railings ”

Along with robins, weeds and worms, spnng brings renewal of th e g rea t barbecue debate Charcoal vs propane The deci Sion m ight be in your wine glass

If you want to sip and chat with your guests, go with char coal, said M ana Alberti, manag er of the Thisisit Shop a grill store in West Bloomfield

Barbecuing “is not just about the food,” Alberti said “I t s a social thing So stick with the grill th a t takes longer to get ready It’s about enjoyment ’

Visit w ith your guests, she said, talk about the Red Wings while you wait for the coals to glow

But Alberti isn’t blindly loyal to charcoal

“C harcoal people thinjk

they re doing something true, but if I didn’t see what kind of grill the food was cooked on, I couldn’t tell the difference ”

On the other hand, she knows th a t charcoal people believe th e ir m ethod gives the food ex tra flavor, and she recom­mends briquettes that haven’t been chemically treated in any way or natural lump charcoal

She also likes wood chips added to charcoal for “an extra notch of flavor C herry and hickory Mesquite for chicken and nbs ”

And she likes propane “When you ta lk about gas,

there are three different kinds One th a t uses special b n quettes, one th a t uses flavor bars, and the infrared

“Devoted charcoal users tell me that infrared gives the best steak taste The high tempera ture infrared energy pierces the

That which we call a barbecue“Barbecue” is the name of an open-fire stove-like cooking

unit, such as an outdoor gnll, open pit or bnck hearth, used for cooking food (Some communities prohibit in-ground fire pits, so check local regulations before you make your pig-roast luau p lan s)

“Barbecue” also is the name of what is being cooked, and the name of the event where a fire is cookmg something “To barbecue” is the name of the action of broiling or roasting seafood or landfood over fire

“Texas barbecue” is beef brisket overcooked to shredding and then covered in a tomatoey sauce

that use of an infrared gnll def- * initely will cut into the cocktail hour ^

age patio grill, Talbot’s company builds outdoor kitchens said they recently completed an $8,400 installation

“There’s no limit,” he said “You could spend $20-$30,000 without try ing h a rd An island g rill of your choice built into a tile and stucco counter Tiffany lighting, refrigerator, side burners, fire­places, stereos and more ”

Is the food better in a $30,000 outdoor kitchen‘s

“It’s the same basic barbecue ” Talbot said, “but they’re doing it with more style ”

Talbot also can show you smok­ers, which he describes as “out­door convection ovens” providing extended low-heat cookmg

And outdoor deep fryers, which he said can be used for an3d;hing that can be cooked in oil - turkey to po tatoes - and also can be filled with water to boil lobsters and other seafood

N ew re g u la tio nIf you go w ith propane, you

ought to know that a new safety regulation requires use of a tank w ith a valve w hich p rev en ts “overfilling,” limiting content to w hat is considered a non-haz- ardous quantity I f you have an older tank without the new safety valve, you’ll have to modify it or replace it

Dennis W nght of Wnght Hard­ware in Livonia said tanks made since O ctober 1997 m eet the requirements He isn’t allowed to fill tanks made before tha t date An older tank, he said, can be fit­ted with a new valve “at a nomi­nal cost” and re-certified for five years’ use

“A new tan k is se t up for 12 years and costs about $29 ”

A refill, W nght said, giving 20 to 25 burning hours, is about $12

G a sGas grills are the specialty of

Michigan Fireplace and Barbecue m Troy, said Michael Super, store m anager H alf of h is sales are propane, half are natural gas, he said

Gas, he said, offers “the conven­ience of g e ttin g ready to cook quicker As little as three minutes compared to 25 minutes to heat the charcoal ”

You’ll be OK with an OPD

An Overfilling Prevention Device is now required on propane tan k s used for barbecue grills This is a new provision of the existing safety code developed by the National Rre Protection Association

According to information from NFPA “the OPD shuts off the flow of gas into a cylinder when 80- percent capacity has been reached This lim Its the potential for release of gas when the cylinder is heated avert mg a fire hazard or personal injury ”

NFPA advises that many filling outlets have the capacity to retrofit or recycle obsolete cylinders ”

If your cylinder has either a round or star shaped handv^eel, it does n t have the required valve A new OPD valve h a s a triangular hand wheel according to the NFPA infor mation although early production OPD cylinders weren t triangjiar but were stamped OPD on the brass valve body

In cooking time, Super said, charcoal has an advantage over propane

“Charcoal heats to 800 degrees ^ gas to 650 Infi'ared heats to 1,600 ”

Natural gas, Super said, elimi­nates the need to refill tanks

“You can hook up a natural gas gnll on a cart with a quick-discon- nect hose at a wall outlet so you can store the grill in the garage and take it when you move ”

At Super’s store, propane gnlls range from a basic model at $300 up to a completely stainless steel infrared unit at $6,000

“You could serve 80 or more with no trouble,” he said

It’s possible, he said, to nm up the cost of the $300 g n ll w ith accessones

“Sideburners are nice to have Warm the beans or th e sauce Cook the com You can get a gnd- dle for pancakes and eggs Deep fryers, steamers, woks You can get an electnc rotissene for $45 A cast-iron dish to hold damp wood chips under the cooking gnds ”

But consider how much money you’ll save buying a gas g n ll because you won’t have time for wine

DRS. JAFFE elbow jo in t w hich________ involves formation of

bone frag m en ts or cartilage tears within the joint These lesions form due to abnor­mal growth of the bones of the f ro n t legs w hen your dog is approx im ate ly 4-6 m onths of age These abnorm al pieces of bone and cartilage, when present in the elbow, cause your dog dis­comfort

A dog with elbow dysplasia is

usually lame m one or both front legs and may limp after activity or following a long nap Arthritis of the elbow joint is a complica­tio n of elbow d y sp la s ia and unfortunately is a life-long con­dition Your veterinarian may be able to diagnose elbow dysplasia based on a physical examination and elbow x-rays Even w ith x- rays and an orthopedic examina­tion, the diagnosis is sometimes hard to establish

Elbow d y sp la s ia is a broad term whi<di includes several con­ditions fragmented coronoid pro­cess , unum ted anconeal process , or osteochondritis dessicans These may occur alone or m con­junction with one another

Treatm ent of elbow dysplasia involves surgical removal of the bone f ra g m e n ts or c a rtila g e tea rs Surgical specialists use a rth ro sc o p e s to exp lore th e

IS severe and conventional su r­gery IS not effective, elbow joint replacement surgery can be per­formed

Both hip and elbow dysplasia are congenital problems and we discourage the breeding of ani­mals affected w ith these condi­tions Most b reeders conscien­tiously screen their dogs for hip d y sp la s ia and d o n 't use dogs w ith questionable hips m their breeding lines Breeders should also screen their dogs for elbow dysplasia’

As always, if your dog is limp­ing with what may appear as a sprain, we advise th a t you corn- suit your vetennanan as soon as possib le E a rly t r e a tm e n t of elbow dysplasia results m fewer long-term complications

Garden books share inspiring inform ation

Although we’re anxious to get in the gar- we did have some time to read about

gardening Perhaps you’re looking for a book vO inspire Here are some suggestions

Brent and Becky H eath, operators of a successful bulb farm in Gloucester, Va , have written two books that will guide gardeners in their quest for beauty with bulbs Both books ($24 95 each) are published by bnght sky press

D a ffo d ils fo r N o r th A m e r ic a n G a r d e n s is an essential book, filled with clearly written

information, from a descrip­tion of a daffodil, planting tips, care, companion plants, m in ia tu re s , forcing, hybridizing, arrang ing for flower shows - the list goes on and on I like their “down home,” s tra igh t-from -the heart wnting

The second book. T u l i p s f o r N o r t h A m e r i c a n G a r d e n s , follows the same format as the first and also IS excellent Information and ideas galore will encourage you to try new ways w ith

+hese bulbs You’ll find a bonus of superb photographs of commercial as well as home aites, and an encyclopedia of recommended iaffodils/tuhps in each book

Our aim has been to describe and picture inly the cultivars that will be commercially available well into the fu tu re so th a t our information will remain current and helpful to you for a long time to come,” Becky writes

Our m utual vision is to help others see die brightest side of the world we live in, through gardening,” they say

1 am proud to call these gentle people friends ”

If you like in tense color, surprises, wit, serenity and magic. B o ld V is io n s f o r th e G a r d e n , R ichard H artlage (Fulcrum , $29 95, soft), will inspire you to create a memorable scene

His approach is unusual as he discusses color, scale, time, light and architecture as we visit the featured gardens This book will probably change the way you look a t plants and design

Hartlage, currently curator and director of the Elisabeth C Miller Boteimcal Gardens in Seattle , Wash , shares m any private and public gardens th a t he h as adm ired and carefully designed, and explains how they evolved I was intrigued with the garden that contained 1,800 bowling balls’

The ideas are indeed bold and dramatic, while the bright photographs shout at you and encourage the use of something differ­ent, all the while following good principles of garden design

Did you know th a t when Thomas Edison needed a suitable m aterial for a light bulb filament, he used carbonized bamboo*’ This, and m any o th e r uses for th e p lan t, are included in B a m b o o fo r G a r d e n s , Ted Jordan M eredith (Timber Press, $39 95), the com plete guide for growing one of the more than 354 varieties that grow in this country, m the garden or as houseplants

M eredith tells how to choose, grow, buy, propagate, harvest, control and dispose of this versatile plant He began to study and grow bamboo because he wanted a privacy fence From th a t sm all beg inn ing , th is informative book resulted

Informative seriesI never cease to be amazed at the amount

of in fo rm ation packed in th e B rooklyn Botanic Garden’s 21st Century Gardening Series

The books ($9 95 each) generally follow the sam e outline w ith guest w riters sharing their expertise A collection of these hand­books makes an excellent library without too much expense

E s s e n tia l T o o ls gives the iowdown on what tools do, which are the most necessary, and those th a t a re helpful even though they aren’t used often Equipment for seed start­ing, to irrigation, to lighting rounds out this book Look for my friend Kip Sm ith’s com­ments about her favorite tools

S u m m e r B lo o m in g B u lb s features informa­tion about growing bulbs in specific sites and conditions and the care of them Descriptions and color photos of a plethora of these beau ties help greatly with selection

(AP) - I t s th e re g re tta b le underside of home repa ir and improvements homeowners and contractors who disagree w ith each other on any of a variety of issues

So, how can disagreements be resolved to everyone's satisfac­tion*’

According to The Home Ser­vice Store, conflict resolution can be avoided w ith clear expecta­tions and good communication S hou ld a rg u m e n ts end up in front of a court, a paper trail of w hat was done and said could make all the difference

Usually a job starts off pretty well Homeowners are excited, the estimates are in and every­one has signed off on the job,' says L au n e Gam m ell of HSS

B ut things don't always go as planned '

W hen hom eow ners c learly s ta te th e ir ex p ec ta tio n s for workmanship, job schedules, and budget, it sets a clear limit for contractors to follow Such pre­em ptive comm unication is the b e s t answ er to head off a rg u ­m ents before they s ta rt During the interview process, homeown­ers and contractors do well to level with each other on expecta­tions and rules of the job for the project

T yp ical a re a s of com plain t involve workm anship, scope of work to be done, and budget

W orkm anship issues can be reso lved by involving outside in sp e c to rs to in d ep e n d e n tly assess the quality of work

Homeowners should defer to the judgm ent of a professional on many scope-of-work jobs For in stan ce , a hom eow ner m ight th ink a leaky roof is easily fixed

yet it might involve much more th an IS visible to the untrained eye A con tracto r m ight find a poor subsurface or m aterials at fault

Both sides should stick to a detailed budget th a t is agreed upon m advance Homeowners can avoid ex tra expense if they steer clear of expensive change orders A change order is a mid- project change in m aterials or work that drives up the material and labor costs of the job Home- ow ners o ften a re shocked by these new expenses and the con­tractor usually IS blamed _ even if the request is out of the con­tractor's control

Gammell recommends home- owners solve problems as they occur T ry in g to solve w ork­m ansh ip , sch ed u le or budget issues a fte r th e fact is always tough I t s easier to create a wm- w in s itu a tio n if you deal w ith things at th e point of the prob­lem ’

Gammell suggests homeown­ers avoid paym ent of the entire job before it starts Pay contrac­to rs in p h a s e s , or as c e rta in materials are needed to complete portions of the work Homeown­ers should keep c lear w ritten records of budgets, work sched­ules, and any discrepanaes they notice Such record-keeping is essential if the dispute cannot be resolved C o u rts will dem and w ntten evidence that documents a homeowner's claim

H I, this IS Keely Wygonik, no Kaleski, how can I help you*?”

Excuse me, I’m having a little iden­tity cnsis - a new name, a new life

My husband David and I would have been m am ed 20 years on June 26 He was diagnosed with Acute Mylogenous Leukemia on Labor Day weekend nearly two years ago We were shocked, and hopeful when he went into remission on Oct 2 But he was readmitted to the hospital for more treatm ent Oct 24, and died Dec 17,2000 His death was unexpected Instead of planning Christmas din­ner, I planned a funeral, and buried David on Dec 21

On Dec 22 my brother Mike took me to the emergency room at Henry Ford Hospital I was devastated, hav­ing trouble breathing, and wondered how I would get through Chnstmas without David Leukemia strength­ened our marriage, and caused us to re-evaluate our priorities We made plans to travel, spend more time with family and fhends, and talked about how precious and fragile life is

After being examined by a doctor who wrote prescriptions for drugs to calm my anxiety and help me sleep, I talked to a therapist It was the beginning of my journey to discover - “who IS I&ely*?”

She told me that part of my life had ended, and another begun “Look at photo albums to try and remember the person you were before you got m am ed ’ she suggested “What do you like to do* Are there things you used to do tha t you stopped doing after you got m am ed’” Women don’t mean to, but they give up pieces of themselves after they get m am ed It was the tru th , and it hurt

As a child I enjoyed camping with my dad and brothers, but stopped because David wasn’t a camper When I went back to school to work on my MBA I stopped plajang clarinet in the Hamtramck Community Band because it meant one more night away from home I wanted my mar- nage to work because most of the m am ages in my family failed My parents are divorced, and so were their parents I allowed a distance to grow between me and my family because David wasn’t comfortable around them

But th a t changed after the funeral My family ralhed around me„and it felt good I get together with my fami­ly more now than I did when I was m am ed Every Friday there’s a card in the mailbox waiting for me from my dad He’s always telling me I’m doing great and that he’s proud of everything I have and will accom­plish

I’ve started to build a new life and reconnect with parts of me th a t got lost I joined the Farmmgton Com- mumty Band, bought a touring bicy­cle and hiked across Wisconsin with my dad, Mike and about 1,000 other people, lost over 60 pounds, replaced all my size 16 clothes with size 6, and let my short hair grow lo i^ I was always the tall skinny girl, but I gained weight after I got m am ed because we didn’t lead an active lifestyle

When I tell people I’m 43 they don’t believe it I’ve gotten carded a t bars, and have begun dating Six months ago I decided to go back to my maiden name - Kaleski It’s not easy, you have to go to court, and prove you’re not changing your name for fraudu­lent purposes

My hearing was Thursday, May 16 The judge asked me why I wanted to change my name, and I told her because my husband died and I want­ed to go back to my maiden name Then I cned She wished me luck, and I left the courtroom feelmg happy and sad a t the same time

David and I never had children I graduated from Michigan State Um- versity on June 12,1982 and walked down the aisle with him on June 26 At the time I said “oh well, I’m just trading one Polish name for another ”

Kaleski is my family name, and I’m proud of it In 19981 met my Polish

A Plym outh business woman may have just what you need if the sight of a microphone makes your heart flutter and you long for a moment in the spot­lig h t w henever you see a karaoke machine

N orm a Atwood, owner of Village Music, expects to meet a lot of ‘Svanna- be” singers who never had the chance to develop their voices in a new class she’s offenng, S h o w e r S in g in g m P u b lic

The th ree-hou r sem inar is geared tow ard am a teu r teenage and adu lt singers, who will learn technical exer cises using playful games in jazz, pop and show music to understand breath control, alignment, resonance, articula tion, free breath flow and performance anxiety

“Maybe they’ve been singing in choirs or in the shower and they want to learn how to use th e ir voices properly and perfo rm , b u t they a ren t confident enough to call a voice te a c h e r ,” exp la ined Atwood, who bough t the national franchise two months ago and will begin classes this summer

Atwood, who lives in Canton, has taugh t private voice lessons for more th an 15 years in Ohio and Michigan She has taught Kmdermusik, a playful approach to teaching rhythm and basic music skills for newborns to 7 year olds for 11 years

S h o w e r S i n g i n g in P u b l i c is to encourage people to sing and to ‘ have fun,” said Atwood, who last year bat­tled two bouts with cancer During the treatm ents, she vowed to achieve two goals - develop a singing class and cut a CD, with a mix of musical theater and c lass ica l songs, th a t she hopes to release in September

Atwood comes to these challenges with what she often refers to as a “pas Sion” experience that began when she was 8 years old and attended the New England Conservatory of Music

She spent much of her m arried life raising three daughters with her hus band, David, who was forced to relocate the family many times while he was m the Army and later when he accepted transfers with Ford Motor Company

M i s s N o r m a

While in Michigan Atwood s students know her as “Miss Norma” for her work as d ire c to r of music and ch ild ren s music ministry a t several local church­es, including Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Westland and F irst United Methodist Church in Ann Arbor

More recen tly Atwood w orked as director of music education a t Arnoldt W illiam s M usic in C an ton u n til it closed She needed a place to continue teaching and decided to open Village M usic in P lym outh’s Old V illage in 1998

pie of all ages and ability levels C arina Gaynier of Livonia learned

about Atwood and Village Music from reading an article in the Observer & Eccentric Newspapers a few years ago and has become a big fan

Her son, Mitchell 7, recently graduat ed from th e K m derm usik program Atwood taught Her daughter, Hannah, 5, is taking classes and her youngest child , B enjam in, 18 m onths, was enrolled in his first class

Music isn’t just for the children m the

Gaynier family Gaymer recently took voice lessons because she was asked to sing at a wedding

“Her re p u ta tio n p recedes he r,” Gaynier said “Eveiywhere I go I hear about Norma ”

Atwood’s oldest student was 75“He came here, because he wanted to

make a taped cassette for his daughter,” she said explaining the man was bat­tling cancer “He said, ‘If I can learn one thing, it would be worth it ’ He got his tape and reinforced everything that I

was doing ”C harlie F leetham , of Farm ing ton

Hills, began taking singing lessons with h is daugh ter, Chelsea, a l5 year old North Farmington High School student who perfected her singing so well she was given a solo performance during a school concert last winter

Fleetham decided a couple of years ago during a Hawaiian cruise th a t he wanted to take singing lessons when he watched his son, Derek, 10 at the time singing karaoke

“He was so bad I finally went up and helped him, and I felt like a frog being dissected,” said F leetham ”I sta rted calling around and Norma told me to come m She said, ‘Let’s see how we get along I was so bad, and I really had no vision She helped me discover a skill I never knew I had

It’s been a real process of discovery I’m still not that good, but she continues to encourage me and help me find a way to express myself ”

Fleetham, who said he can sing along now with almost every tune and “sound OK,” recen tly bough t a ka rao k e machine for his family

N e w s k i l l

“For me the biggest benefit has been the ability to do this with my kids,” he said “We sing songs together and it’s a blast I never would have known how to approach it ” He credits Atwood with giving him this new skill

At the airport recently Atwood said th re e people cam e up to h e r and referred to her as “Miss Norma ” With her CD and S h o w e r S in g in g in P u b l ic classes, Atwood hopes to continue an evolution back to just “Norma ’

“I t ’s a way for me to find m yself again,” said the grandmother of three

“My whole interest in music is that I w ant people to feel the passion,’ said Atwood who graduated from Northeast em University in Boston with a bache lor of a rts degree in theater a rts and minors in music and biology

Her theater work includes performing w ith June Lockhart in N o S e x P le a s eI m B r i t i s h in a dinner theater produc tion in Ohio She is also the directoi founder and performer in Variations I &II a woman s vocal performing group in Ohio and Michigan

Atwood went on to receive a post bac ca la u re a te in m usic education from Akron U niversity and took g raduate voice studies a t the University of Alaba ma

As a young college student, Atwood thought she would become a doctor It turned out th a t all the biology and other “ology” classes, as she refers to them, hdlps her to better understand the body and how it works to create music She has spent most of her life shanng that knowledge

L ivon ia sin g er p en s lyrics for ‘Som ew here in T im e’BY MIKE MURPHY S p e c ia l w r it e r

In the 22 years since it was first re le a se d , S o m e w h e r e i n T i m e has gained somewhat of a cult film status among hopeful romantics

The story, which was film ed on M ackinac Island, allows a charac­te r played by Christo­p h e r Reeves to travel backward m time to find his true love

Over the years, multi­ple Web sites devoted to the film have sprung up and some devotees even make pilgrimages to the n o r th e rn M ichigan island where they reen­act the scnpt

S o m e w h e r e i n T im e also caught the fancy of L ivonia re s id e n t Tom M organ Insp ired by a muse named Anne Gro- bosky, M organ pu t ly rics to th e movie’s theme music

Morgan met Grobosky in 1985 after she joined the Ford Motor Company Chorus Five years later, both Ford Motor Company Chorus m em bers were m arried , and Morgan said he owes much of his good fortune to the song

“When I told her I wrote it for her, she was stunned,” Morgan said

Proceeds from the CD will benefit Children’s Hospital and the Christo­pher Reeve Foundation

It’s one of many projects that the 70- member Ford Motor Company Chorus

IS involved in Morgan, a fo rm er p res id en t of the chorus and current­ly th e g roup ’s pub lic re la tio n s d irec to r, is behind most of them

“I’m like a big cheer­leader I try to get them involved in th in g s ,” Morgan said

Jordan , who now runs an accounting firm in Ann Arbor, has assisted Morgan w ith the business side of the compact disc release He said Somewhere in Time IS just beginning to make some money for its designated chanties

“It’s been very modest,” Jor­dan said “We’re not talking tons of money, but it displays the tal­ents of the Ford chorus and gives us a forum to work in ”

In the past seven years, the chorus has embarked on three tours of Europe as well as tours of M ichigan and the eas te rn United States

The European tr ip s have included v isits to Germany, France and Ita ly , w here the group sang for the pope

One of the group’s cu rren t major undertak ings is the recording of a full-length com­pact disc called Liberty, which contains patnotic songs and is m the process of being recorded in a Houghton Lake church

“The whole chorus is really excited about it,” Morgan said “It’s a very spiritually uplifting CD and when people listen to it they’re going to be very proud they’re Americans It instills a feeling in you that's kind of hard to describe ”

Morgan said he first became interested in singing in public in 1975 when friends urged him to go onstage at a local bar to sing a rendition of the Everly Broth­ers Cathy’s Clown Morgan went over big and was asked back again

Discouraged from singing in bars by his former wife, Morgan joined a church choir Not long

afte r th a t, a friend a t Ford encouraged him to join the com­pany’s chorus

Even though he no longer works at Ford and runs his own heating and cooling business, Morgein has stayed with the cho­rus It’s something he wouldn’t readily give up, he said

“I love to sing m the chorus,” Morgan said “It’s like a big fam­ily Everybody kind of looks out for each other and it’s real nice ”

And the chorus is also about helping others, which is some­thing Morgan expects to do with the proceeds of Somewhere in Time

“I play Santa Claus and I go to those hospitals and I see those children,” Morgan said “I want­ed to do something for the chil­dren ”

According to Morgan, the Ford Motor Company Chorus is look­ing ahead to a busy spring and summer th a t will include local shows as well as a tour of north­ern Michigan and the east coast to promote Liberty

Morgan said the east coast tour will include stops at West Point and Annapolis

He's also working on getting the chorus to Ireland for a con­cert in St Patrick's Cathedral at Trinity College in Dublin

“Right now I think it’s time to realize how lucky we are to live in this country,” Morgan said “Even though a lot of bad things happen, it’s still a nicer place to live than ju s t about any other place in the world ”

It was a quiet Sunday after­noon at Alice’s house

My fnend and fellow journalist shares a house in Livonia with her husband, Mike, and three cats Gus, Bill and Cleo I visit on occasion to dnnk coffee or herbal tea, chat about newspa­pers and to play with the cats

I’m not really a cat person, but for some, I’ll make an exception

That sounds as CHAT though I have

ROOM some control

I over the issue

The truth is,

made an excep­tion for me

Of the three, I have probably bonded most with Gus A native of Detroit, he grew up a street cat

and still dnnks out qf running faucets, rather thah bowls While Bill tends tp be somewhat anti-social and Cleo fancies her­self the Queen of All She Sur­veys, Gus IS Mr Personality Defiantly independent as all cats must be, he also thrives on attention and affection

On Sunday afternoon, I learned something about Gus I didn’t know He likes to hunt

And he’s good at it Ensconced in Alice’s family

room, she and I were engrossed in conversation about all sorts of things Through the open patio glass door, we could see the cats cavorting in the backyard A

gentle breeze wafted in and we laughed at how Miss Cleo seemed to bathe herself in the early spring sunlight

The actual order of events escapes me now, jarred from my memory by the horror, no doubt But at some pomt, Alice told me tha t Gus had once snagged a baby bunny rabbit, which she ended up diasing around the house

He doesn’t kill things, she explained He seems to operate under the “catch-and-release” philosophy

Not 10 minutes later, Gus bolt­ed in from the backyard, a streak of black zooming past my chair I heard an odd chattenng sound that just didn’t bode well

“Gus!” Alice yelled and started after him

I stayed seated It seemed like the safest thing to do

The chase moved into the din­ing room, and Alice suggested this might be a good time for me to help As I approached from the kitchen doorway, I still was­n’t clear exactly what ~ besides Gus - we were chasing

“It’s a baby squirrel,” Alice said “He’s behind the stereo ”

K a l e s k i f r o m p a g e C l

relatives and visited Sulejow, the village where my grandpa was bom My relatives were happy to see me, and we all went to church to thank God for bringing us togeth­er I felt a strong sense of belonging, genera­tions of Kaleskis grew up in that village and still live there today I used to think there w as something odd about my family because everyone, even my dad’s siblings, and my lit­tle brother, got divorced Mom’s an only child Now I know better I spent my first New Year s Day alone with my little brother ind his second wife He made meatloaf for dinner and we watched a really dumb movie with his step children It was one of the nicest New Year s Days I can remember On

the way home I said, “thank-you God for giv­ing me my family back ”

I love my m-laws, but as I began recon­necting with my family, and “Keely,” I felt less of an affiliation to the Wygonik family I wanted to be a Kaleski again, part of the clan

Change is part of life, you can’t stop it any more than you can stop seasons from chang­ing But you should never change yourself to make someone else happy It was an impor­tant lesson to learn

Ive embraced change, and am open to new experiences On June 26 111 be on my bicycle with 700 people somewhere between Stevensville and Luna Pier It’s the first

vacation I’ve ever taken alone I don’t know anyone who’s going on this tnp, but am sure I’ll have lots of new friends when the bus drops us off in Ann Arbor on June 29

David’s gone, but not forgotten, he’ll always be a part of me Sometimes I feel his presence, and it’s always peaceful and lov­ing I’m not afraid of death or life anymore I held David when he died, and know that death is cold and still Life is warm and full of possibilities, something to enjoy and cher­ish

I looked behind the stereo, which was in the living room My guess I S I must have misheard, because the poor creature was actually trapped in a corner of the dining room

It was tiny and brown, with big black eyes and a long, bushy tail And Gus appeared to be thinking since he’d caught this playmate, he ought to be able to enjoy its company

Having heard the commotion, Mike bounded up from his base­ment workshop and strode pur posefully toward the scene Alice was bent over in the corner, try ing to keep the squirrel safe

I was standir^ a few feet away, trjnng to keep myself safe Wild things bite And they could have rabies

Mom always said so “I’ll help you, honey,” Mike

said in a very manly voice He grabbed the cat Alice allowed as how that

might have been the easier course of action But she remained vigilant, talking in a very calm voice, grabbing the squirrel’s tail and holding out her arm stiffiy as the thing wrig­gled and shadow-boxed

“I’m sorry, but I don t know how else to do this,” she told him “I know this is how you carry a mouse ”

I was instantly impressed that she’d even touched a mouse My daughter and I once trapped a vole m one of those sticky boxes you bait and set down on the floor The vole was most certain­ly stuck, but we still called her boyfriend to carry the box to the Dumpster

He laughed all the way across the parking lot

But I digressAt this point Mike was hold

mg Gus and saying “Way to go buddy Way to hunt

Gotta be a guy thing So as they bonded in a manly

way, I moved ouf into the back­yard to check on Alice And the squirrel, of course

I was startled to see her still holding the critter, stroking its head and back He appeared to be trembling His eyes closed half way then opened wide There was no blood, just a little cat slobber on his fur

Alice spoke to him softly and stood yety still She said she’s always had a way with animals, which most certainly appeared to be true

After a few minutes, she left him on the shelf of a birdfeeder that had been nailed onto the side of a large tree The squirrel sat for a little while, then scam­pered away She wanted to look into a knothole m the tree to see whether he’d crawled inside to recover

“He’ll probably fly out of there and attach himself to your face and gnaw at the bridge of your nose,” Mike said

Alice thinks he may be watch­ing too much television

Mike and I did a little good- natured teasing Called her “Dr Doolittle” and the “Squirrel Whisperer ” With a stricken look, she recited the words to her favorite hymn, “All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small ”

Our Lord God made them all Now, it’s probably not wise to

handle wild animals Naturalists will tell you the less contact we have with wild things, the better off they are

But this one time, maybe a lit­tle healing touch, the steady, calming hand of a loving person was a good thing

I believe we’re each given a gift for reaching out to make the world a better place And we each have to find our own special talent before we can give without hesitation and help without fear

As I drove home that Sunday afternoon, I figured out some thing pretty important -■ yes, perhaps even critical to the bal ance of my life

Mine s not Squirrel Whisper ing

A It sounds like you’re experi­encing a classic case of disturbed sleep, better known as insomnia Insomnia can have many causes and sorting out the reason you can’t sleep-^n be tough Here are a few places to start

■ Depression is an overlooked cause of insomnia Are you expe­riencing additional symptoms of low self esteem, weight gain or loss, flat feelings, or loss of inter­est m things you used to enjoy‘d If so, undiagnosed depression could be your culprit

A therapist who specializes in mental health issues can deter mine if you are clinically depressed They may suggest an anti depressant medication, in addition to therapy, to facilitate sleep and treat depressive symp toms

■ Stimulants and depressants in our every day diet can dis turb our sleep wake c^cle Caf feme in coffee colas and choco late give us energy and pep us up

Being keyed up in the evening we look for a way to relax Alco hoi IS often a choice because it can bring on unconsciousness but the sleep is not rejuvenating and we wake up feeling tired Try elim inating caffeine from your diet as well as alcohol to allow your normal sleep-wake cycle to kick m

■ Many people think they are too tired to exercise, but moder ate exercise has been shown to increase restful sleep

Often our brains feel worn out because our jobs are mentally taxing, but our bodies are not physically tired

S ta rt a reg u la r rou tine of moderate exercise three times a week, alternating between aero­bic activity and muscle building exercises such as weight trg.in- ing Your brain and body will

both feel tired at the same time, and restful sleep can come

■ Try going to bed at approxi­m ately the sam e tim e every night, avoiding naps during the day, eating late meals or watch­ing TV late into the night The key to natu ra l sleep is in pat terns Try keeping track of your sleep-wake patterns for the next week, working to regulate your times of rest

■ Stress IS a common thief of sleep Assess the areas in your life where stress is present but likely to pass (work stress, death in the family, a move to a new home ) Compare those to long­term difficulties that will require some type of change on your part Insomnia is your brain’s way of try ing to resolve your problems even when you’re lying down' A therapist can help you assess your stress level help you develop adequate coping skills, and steer you toward resolution

You wanted to know how to get your husband to respect your sleep needs You could try sepa­rate bedrooms, but finding the solution for your insomnia would be a better solution for you both

“Pilates IS a good overall work­out, and you don’t leave h u rt­ing,” says Tracy Tripp, 35, of Bloomfield Hills A former per­sonal trainer, Tripp also takes classes at the Pilates Institute of Birmingham

Oakland County now hosts a handful of Pilates studios where students can enroll in classes using specialized equipment

The Reformer, a bench with straps and a sliding mechamsm, IS the m ost commonly used Pilates machine and looks simi­lar to equipment used in physi­cal rehabihtation centers

One studio, Equilibrium Mind Body Fitness in Bloomfield Hills, offers certification to aspiring Pilates mstructors

Even m ainstream gyms are gettmg m on the Pilates trend

Amencan Fitness m Waterford s ta r ted offering P ila tes m at classes about a year ago Enroll­ment in the class, which is avail­able both through the gym and Waterford Community Educa­tion, has steadily nsen, said the gym’s co-owner Patti Heath “It kind of started out slow because i t ’s so new for people,” said Heath “But the word is startmg to get out and Pilates is getting more popular mostly because it’s a mind body workout,” she said “It really is the new thmg ”

Pilates IS w ell-suited to an older gym user who can’t take high-impact aerobics classes or run on a treadm ill, said Sue

Reid, group exercise supervise^ for Bally Total F itness in thd Detroit area “The growth curve in fitness is now older,” said Reid “Besides, fitness is not gnnding it out on the treadmill It’s about using mind and body together to create an overall fitts ness experience ”

Supervision: Carrie Harnish, owner of The Pilates Institute o f Birmingham, closely watches one o f her students Proper form is extremely important in Pilates, as is doing exercises slowly and with control Thafs why instruction is crucial to the fit­ness method

“Anybody can do a biceps curl and talk about what you did that weekend With Pilates, you real­ly have to focus ”

Concentration is required to isolate muscle groups and regu­la te b rea th in g during move­ments

Today there are two branches of Pilates, the original method

and another called Stott, which was developed by a disciple of Joseph Pilates

“The onginal method gets you moving faster Stott is great for someone who wants to take a real slow approach,” said John­son “But one is not better than the other Each is just geared for different people ”

The chances were thereBut this was not to be the year for Plymouth

Canton’s soccer squad, the defending Division I state champs A year ago, the Chiefs dominated every tournament opponent in rolling to the state title, this year they didn’t survive a single match, surrendering a goal with 2 41 remaining m a 2-1 loss to Northvilie in their district opener Tuesday at Canton

Canton bows out with a 9-5-5 overall record

■ PREP SO CCER

Northvilie, ranked No 2 m the state with a 16 1-1 record, advances to the district semifinals against Plymouth Salem at 7 p m tonight at Northvilie The winner of that semifinal plays the Ann Arbor Huron Novi wmner for the dis tnct title at 1 p m Saturday at Novi

Both teams scored first half goals Tuesday, and that’s the way it stayed until the final three mmutes The Mustangs, like the Chiefs, had not had a great scoring chance in the second half until, with 2 41 left, Maggie Ossola crossed the ball from the right wmg to Lansa Fill m the cen ter of the field

Fill’s header got past Canton keeper Bnana Wolcott and into the net to give Northvilie a 2-1 lead, which the Mustangs made stand up

“TVo head balls,” said Northvilie coach Ron Meteyer, also noting his team’s first-half goal scored on a header by Lindsay Dunmead “I guess we don’t have to practice that tomorrow ”

Certainly it was a different Mustang team that took the field m the second half Dunmead’s goal, scored with 26 16 left before halftime came following a comer kick by Whitney Guenther

But Northville’s defense was hardly tenaaous Indeed, prior to Dimmead’s goal, the Chiefs put a head ball off a comer at the net, but Northvilie keeper Katie Kneisel made a diving save

Canton kept getting good scoring chances and with 15 59 left m the half, Stephanie Johnson fielded a cross from Jessica Dean and knocked in a shot off the post, knotting the score at 1 1

It wasn’t the final offensive opportunity of the half — for either side

Before Roger Penske’s team returned to the Indianapolis 500 la s t year, Penske’s teams had won 10 titles But Penske’s 10 previous champions never matched what this year’s champ did

On Sunday, Helio Castroneves became the first back-to-back winner at Indy since A1 Unser Sr in 1970-71, when he was dnvmg for Pamelli Jones Ironically , Unser la te r drove for

B RACINGPenske, so did his brother, Bobby, and his son, A1 J r Castroneves’ two titles give Penske’s team s 12 victories at Indy in 27 appearances

These la s t two wins came w ith engines designed by Ilmor Engineering Inc , which IS located in Plymouth Penske owns 25 percent of Ilmor

Castroneves’ win last year took the

Castroneves won on Sunday under a caution after Paul Tracy s attempt to pass him was ruled to have occurred after the caution had been issued

Tracy and his Team Green protested the ruling both after the race and again on Monday, but to no avail

Although the end result was pleasing to both Penske Racing Team president Tim Cindnc and those at Ilmor, it was­n’t the power of the engine that proved

This shouldn’t have happened Not now

Plymouth Canton’s baseball team was rolhng going into last Saturday’s tune-up against a Redford Catholic Central team that was trying to recov er from its loss to Birmingham Broth er Rice in the Catholic League cham­pionship the previous day

■ BASEBALLBut that double-header should have

served as a warning, if nothing else The Shamrocks slam m ed Canton twice, mercymg the Chiefs 13-3 and 10 -0

Still, such a thing could be expected from CC, which improved to 22-5 with the sweep Not so with Tuesday’s pre- district game at South Lyon, a team that struggled to win anything ail sea­son

But the Chiefs decided to help the Lions out, committing a season-high five errors — four of them in the fifth inning when South Lyon scored all four of its runs in a 4-2 victory

“I’m still kind of shocked,” said Can­ton coach Scott Dickey, his team -end­ing its season at 18-10 “South Lyon was not a good team This was all just kmd of frustrating ”

Mark Hanson certainly did ail he could to avoid the outcome Hanson tossed a four-h itter, allowing no earned runs and striking out eight Hanson was also 2-for-3 at the plate with a two-run home run m the fourth innmg

But it wasn’t enough

‘We had six cars there,” said Ilmor representative Ian Hawkins, “but the cold w eather affected them during qualifying ”

What the Penske team,with its Ilmor engine, did better than its competitors was gauge its fuel Cindnc opted not to refuel after lap 158, gambling there would be another caution jn that time

The breakout came, but it came too late

The Mid M ichigan Bucks were expected to be a potent offensive force m their run for a fourth straight berth m the U S Open Cup But only once di^ the Bucks manage to score more than two goals in their four qualifiers, and that proved a decisive factor

■ SO CCERThat one time came Saturday when

the Bucks d ism antled the Dayton (Ohio) Gems, 4-1 in a Premier Develop­ment League soccer match Saturday at Plymouth Canton HS

The wm gave the Bucks a 3-0-1 record in their qualifiers — good, but not quite good enough The Des Moines Menace were also 3-0-1, but edged the Bucks on goal differential (plus-10 to plus five) to gain the Open berth

The Bucks are currently 3-1-1 m the United Soccer League’s Great Lakes Division

The disappointment of not quahfymg for the U S Open, which could have givdn the Bucks a shot at playing an MLS team (they defeated New England in a Cup match m 2000), was apparent but hardly overwhelming

According to general manager Jim Duggan, the Bucks — under first-year head coach Dario Brose — are ju st beginnmg to congeal

One-half inmng of Tuesday's pre-distnct softball game took almost as long to complete as the other four-and-a-half, but as far as Livonia Ladywood was concerned, it all counted as a wm

The Blazers eased their way to an opening round 14-0 win over Bedford T hurston a t Ladywood’s softball field Lady- wood (19-12) now advances to Saturday’s district semifinal against Detroit Renaissance, while the Eagles finish the sea­son with a 4-20 record«

Ladywood was held scoreless through the first two innings but exploded for 11 runs in the top of the third, removing all doubt from the final outcome The team sent 17 batters to the plate and belted out nine hits in the inning*

“I ’m happy w ith th e way things worked out,” said Lady­wood coach Bob Lulek “We got a lot of kids m the game and I feel very confident w ith the level we’re playing a t righ t now”

T hurston coach Ann McManamon saw h e r young team struggle all season long, and did so again against the B lazers, com m itting seven erro rs in the con test and recording no hits ^

“We had some good innings, but had some bad ones as well, which is what happened to us all year long,” she said

Ihurston junior pitcher Jack­ie Green pitched well in the first two innings, but ran into trouble in the third when the B lazers did th e ir dam age Danielle Palasak led off the inning with a single to left, and picked up another single later in the inning th a t drove in a

SOFTBALLrun Amanda McFlellan and Meghan Wilkenson followed with doubles, and the rout was on

Sue Malonis and Erin Hulett drew back-to-back bases loaded walks to make the score 3-0, and a Thurston error brought in two more to make the score 5-0 Malonis later delivered a a tw o-run single, and P a tty Kolinski added an RBI single to round out the scoring in the big inning

The Blazers picked up three more runs in the top of the fifth Mindy M itchell and Knstin Grewe slapped back-to- back RBI singles, and Jennifer Walkuski beat out an infield single that scored the final run of the game

A licia Taylor s ta r ted the game on the mound for Lady­wood and went two innings with two stnkeouts Liz Malek pitched the third, while Cory Sandrowicz pitched the final two, stnkmg out one

Green and Courtney Kruse drew w alks in the second inning when the Eagles made their biggest threat to score Sara Liske also got on base for Thurston in the game

Ladywood could be looking at another matchup w ith rival Dearborn Divine Child in the district finals, and Lulek said the key for the team will be consistent play

“We’re a very good bunting team, and that will be a key to us getting through the dis- tnct,” he said “We started the season a little slow, but we’ve been moving up a little each w eek How we did against Divine Child in the regular season means absolutely noth- mg now "

The outcome caught Plymouth C anton softball coach Jim Arnold by surprise — and maybe it shouldn’t have

Because if there’s one thing this season’s Chiefs’ team should have taught Arnold, it was to expect the unexpected

In its Division I pre-district qualifier, Canton gave up three first-inn ing runs w ithout the benefit of a h it, and th a t was more than it could overcome m losing to host South Lyon 4-2

The Chiefs finish their season at 16-14

“This just wasn’t a good outing for us,” said Arnold “I t’s been

SOFTBALLone of those seasons this year We couldn’t put things together consistently ”

Certainly Canton started the season strongly, winning its first four games before going into a slide Still, Arnold could sense progress when the Chiefs rallied to place second a t the 16-team M adonna U niversity Tourna­ment May 18-19

“I thought we were peaking at just the right time,” Arnold said

He was wrong Against South Lyon — a team the Chiefs beat 5-2 a t Madonna — pitching ace Renee Ross could not get on track “She couldn’t get her con­

trol,” Arnold said, noting Ross kept slipping on the mound

The result was a disastrous start Ross lasted just 2/3 of an inning, walking two batters and hitting another before Michelle Roelofs replaced her

In the first inning alone, the Lions scored three runs on four walks, a hit batsman, an error, a fielder’s choice and a sacrificefly

That was more than Canton’s offense could overcome Indeed, the Chiefs managed ju s t four hits in the game while striking out 12 times

They got one run m the second inning on a double by Pam Hud­son, a sacrifice and a ground out by Danielle Weber South Lyon scored an unearned run off of

Roelofs m the fifth, but Canton came back with a run of its own in the six th on a single by Jonelle Brown, an erro r and Colleen O’Brien’s sacrifice fly

Brown was the only Chief to get two hits in the game

Roelofs turned in a strong per­formance m relief, giving up one unearned run on six hits and two walks, striking out one m 5 1/3 mmngs

The pitching wm went to Lmd say Noren, who surrendered one earned run on four hits in seven mmngs, stnkmg out 12

“Today, we just didn’t hit the ball,” said Arnold “I t was (a frustrating season) This was one of those teams tha t had lots of ta len t, but it ju s t didn’t come together ”

In a game between two good defensive team s, both sides knew it was qmte likely one goal would decide the outcome

SO CCER

That was all Livonia Lady­wood, which has had difficulty generating offense this season, needed to defeat host Farming- ton m a girls district tournament soccer game Tuesday, 1-0

“A lot of people have been say­ing Ladywood can’t score, and the team wanted to prove them wrong,” Blazers coach Jill Logs­don said “They were driven to score today, and th a t goal is proof”

Ladywood (7-4-5) advances to play Bedford Union in another district game tonight and will probably be seen as a sligh t favorite to win the title^ after ehmmating the defending cham­pion Falcons (8 6-3) j

“This is a great ego booster for our team ,” Logsdon s a id \“'We picked up our play, and we’ll go into the rest of the tournament with a lot of confidence

“Beating Farmington is a key win for us They re a tough team they played h ard the whole game It took the same kind of effort for our team to come out victonous ”

While it was largely an even game, Ladywood did have an edge in possessions and scoring chances

The Blazers capitalized on one of those opportunities early m the second h a lf when Sandy Swish scored off a rebound at 35 44

Ladjnvood was pressuring the Farmington defense when Katie

Rozum fired a shot th a t was blocked by goalie Kate Kelly, who had to step out to make the stop That made it possible for Swish to knock in the rebound

“At halftime we knew we had to come out and score righ t aw ay,” Logsdoh said, “and it would pay off for the team that scored, as long as they kept the momentum, and it did ”

Otherwise, it was a game dom- mated by the defenses with nei­ther Bide having many quality shots in the first half and just a few more in the second

Farmington had a chance with 4 13 rem ain ing bu t couldn’t make the right connection

Joyce Rose got open on the left Side and lifted a pass into in the middle, but the ball rolled out of bounds on the far side of the net before Enca Rose could get to it

That resulted m a Farmington corner kick, but the Ladywood defense cleared the ball without a shot bemg taken

W ith ju s t over a m inute to play, Ju lie Goettlicher turned

-and fired a hard-shot from just nght of the Ladywood net Blaz­ers goalie Stefani Szczechowski was nght there to quickly knock the ball down

“(The Blazers) played a great gam e,” Falcons coach Steve M ontgomery said We had opportunities and didnt capital ize We were scoring a lot of goals the last few games, but the week layoff and the distractions th a t come with the end of the school year didn’t help

“But you can’t take anything away from Ladywood They played well, they did a great job As much as I hate to admit it, they deserved to wm the game ”

Montgomery added he thought it was going to be a one-goal game and whoever got it first would have a big advantage

STAFF PHOTO B7 BILL BRE8LERDistrict tournainent soccer: Farmington’s Enca Rose gets to the ball before Ladywood’s Christine Williams with a sliding effort Tuesday in a district tournament soccer game Ladywood spoiled host Farmington’s post­season hopes by winning the game, 1 0

We needed more possessions in the midfield and didn t get them, he said “I d say Lady wood had a few more posses­sions Ladywood had good chances and finished one A real fast forward could capitalize on th e ir offsides trap , and we weren’t able to do it ”

W ith the lead, the B lazers could rely on their strength - defense - though they did con­tinue to attack

“All year we’ve had a strong defense, and it starts with the

keeper Logsdon said “In the second h a lf (the defenders) worked hard, were first to the ball and got the offense started If they play well, the whole team plays well ”

Montgomery said it was a dis­appointing loss, but his players took it well and life goes on

“They don’t feel they played their best game, but Ladywood did,” he said “Both teams put pressure on the other, and they came out on top It was a good game for both teams ”

M H S A A s u b m i t s n e w s p o r t s s e a s o n - c h a n g i n g p l a nStating its belief th a t more

students are helped and fewer are hurt by adding new tourna ments than by switching existing seasons, th e M ichigan High School Athletic Association sub m itted to a F ederal D is tric t Court a plan that would change the scheduling of its to u rn a ­ments in three sports and add four new tournaments for girls

The MHSAA’s tournaments for golf, swimming & diving and tennis would be affected The MHSAA s Lower Peninsula tour­nament in boys golf would move to the spring, girls golf to the fall, girls swimming & diving would move to the winter, boys to the fail, and boys tennis would move to the fall and girls to the sprihg In the Upper Peninsula, the MHSAA’s championship for girls golf would move to the fall while boys golf would remain in the spring, boys swimming & diving would move to the fall, while girls swimming & diving would remain m the winter, and the MHSAA’s U P cham pi­onships m boys and girls tennis would reverse seasons as in the Lower Peninsula

These changes are dependent upon the approval of the U S D istric t C ourt in Kalamazoo later this summer, and none of the changes will occur if the MHSAA’s appeal of the District C ourt’s decision to the U S Court of Appeals is successful On May 9, the Sixth Circuit of the U S C ourt of Appeals delayed until a t least 2004 05 the District Court s ruling that seasons be realigned m 2003 04

The MHSAA’s plan also com mits the association to starting four new post-season tourna ments for girls before adding any new tournaments for boys Two rlew tournaments would be initi­ated each year for two years, with the association choosing the four sports th a t serve its mem­bership best from the following list of 12 sports bowling, crew, equestrian, field hockey, figure skating ice hockey indoor track & field, lacrosse, powerlifting, sjmchronized swimming water polo and wrestling

The Compliance P lan was approved by the MHSAA Repre sen ta tive Council during a recent meeting this morning and filed With th e Federal Court P lain tiffs have two weeks to respond to the Plan after which

■ PREP SPORTSthe MHSAA has two weeks to reply The U S District Court m Kalamazoo will conduct a hear ing regarding the Plan on July 18

Schools and their students wanted no change, ’ said MHSAA Executive Director John E “Jack” Roberts, ‘ but no change is not an option for the court ordered plan We had to comply with the Court s Order to place an equal number of tournaments in what the Court ruled are dis advantageous seasons and still respect the overwhelming senti m ents of our m em bership to maximize partic ipa tion by scheduling boys and girls in dif ferent seasons in basketball, Lower Peninsula golf, soccer Lower Peninsula swimming & diving and tennis

The Plan leaves three girls sports and places th ree boys’ sports in the District Court des ignated disadvantageous season It puts three girls’ sports and leaves only two boys sports in the D istrict Court designated advantageous seasons

“We have gone beyond the Court’s order to demonstrate fur ther the intent of this orgamza tion and its member schools to promote opportunities for girls in a th le tics , ’ said Roberts “Decades ago schools scheduled sports seasons for girls in order to facilitate the fastest growth possible in girls athletic oppor tunities and their efforts have proven successful In every one of the sports at issue in this case, M ichigan s girls high school sports participation ra tes are b e tte r th an its e igh th rank nationally m population for high school age girls

The MHSAA also released the results of a survey of its mem bership conducted in late April regarding sports seasons

‘ The response was phenome nal ” said Roberts “In two weeks’ time, more than 86 per cent of our member schools responded with properly signed survey responses This attests to their great interest in the issue and their concerns for the out come ”

Basketball is the sport that schools least want moved for either gender Basketball is also

the sport that schools least want combined in the same season for boys and girls No plan for sea­son changes received majority support, but the option selected by the Council addressing golf, swimming & diving and tennis -

received the best response “The Council lis ten ed to

schools as well as it could,” said Roberts “Schools and their stu­dents really wanted no change, and there wasn t enthusiasm for any particular option But the

Representative Council always takes its d irection from the membership, and the member ship has spoken

“The part of l^ is P lan th a t excites us is the part that does not disrupt schools, coaches and

Area athletes shine at Meet of Champions

THE WEEK AHEAD

For some it was one last chance to shme For others, i t was a warm-up for this weekend’s state meet

There were no team scores kept at Saturday’s Ann Arbor Meet of Champions held at Ypsilanti HS, but there were plenty of strong efforts by local athletes For Ply­mouth Canton’s boys, there were a pair of first-place finishes in indi­vidual events and a school record in a relay

The Chiefs shuttle hurdle relay team of Pawel Paszkowski, Steve Kilijanczyk, Ken Page and Dane Kobus finished firs t in 1 02 3, breaking the school record

Page was also a winner in the long jump leaping 20 feet, 4 inch­es Kobus placed second for Can ton m both the long jump (19-10) and 110 meter hurdles (15 2), and Brad Waidmann tied for first in the high jump (6-1) Finishing in a three-way tie for fourth in the high jump was Mike Lamus (5-8)

Plymouth Salem’s girls team had no first places, but the Rocks

had plenty of standouts Among them was a second by Lynden Gault in the 400 in a season-best 100 4

Ind iv idually speaking, the Rocks also got a third by Jessica Sham berger in the 100 dash (13 1), a fourth from Ernane Bun­dle in the 100 (13 1), a fourth from Melissa Drake in the high jump (4 9) a fourth from Shamberger m the 200 (26 9), a fifth from Lauren Kane in the 3,200 (13 03 7), and a fifth from Ashleigh Shear m the discus (105 4)

“The last two games have been a significant improvement in our team playing as a team ,’ said Duggan “The organization through the central midfield has been much better They mark up quickly and there s g reat improvement in not giving the ball away ”

That wasn’t the case in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Chicago Fire Reserves m a match played 12 days ago “H orrendous,” was D uggan’s description of his team s play in the midfield against the Fire “And on both of their goals, our defenders left their marks ’

Both the players and the coach — who, due in great p a rt to NCAA regulations th a t forbid college players (who make up most of the Bucks’ roster) from joining PDL teams before May 1, had ju s t one week of practice together before the season-open­er — are now becoming familiar with each other

“The guys are getting to know each other ’ said Duggan “Dario IS getting to know them, what they can do and they re finding out w hat s expected of them We’ve got a lot of depth ”

Saturday’s game did have some similarities with previous matches For s ta r te rs , poor weather delayed the start of the game by 45 minutes

Then the Bucks started slowly allowing the wmless Gems (0 4) to take the early lead on a goal

scored in the 12th minute They tied it a minute before halftime, Pat Noonan getting the first of his two goals in the game

The Bucks took the lead for good five minutes into the second half when Shawn Lee, a defender from Trinidad and Tobago mak ing his debut with the Bucks, pushed forward and scored unas sisted Nine minutes later Noo­nan scored again, this time with an assist from Justm Detter

The Bucks’ final goal came from John Swann, 17 minutes into the second half, Ryan Mack (from Birm ingham Seaholm) assisted Eric Pogue (Troy Athens) was in goal for the Bucks, he had five saves

The Bucks play their second, and last, match of the season at Birmingham Seaholm at 7 p m Sunday, th is one against the Indiana Invaders The two teams met m the season-opener in Indi ana, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw, called 20 m inutes early due to inclement weather

D iscounted tickets for the match may be purchased from the Bloomfield Force/Flames and the Michigan HawksAVolves soc cer clubs, a t George’s Soccer Stores in Lathrup Village and Troy, or at Global Soccer in Lake Onon Tickets at the gate are $9 for adults and $6 for students

For more information on tick ets or the Bucks, call (734) 483- GOAL or e-mail the Bucks at info@mmbucks com

Gas mileage for these cars doubles when running under a caution

Cindric’s decision paid off, Castroneves fin­ished the race with less than a gallon left in his tank

Castroneves’ ability to conserve fuel and the engine itself were also factors m the out­come

“It really came down to fuel economy,” said Hawkins

Castroneves averaged 166 5799 mph His victory gave him the overall lead in the IRL dnvei^s standings, Penske teammates Gil de Ferran and Felipe Giaffone are second and fourth, respectively

Last year, Castroneves drove an Ilmor- designed Oidsmoblie engine Hawkins called this year’s engine, a Chevrolet, “basically the same power plant ” Both are loosely-based on the Aurora V8

“We’ve been working on this for the last year,” said Hawkins “It’s been under con­stan t development, for both mileage and power ”

Penske’s, and Ilmor’s, racing interests go well beyond the IRL They also sponsor the Mercedes/McLaren team in Formula One, which finished first at the Monaco Grand Prix Sunday

“It was quite a weekend,” Hawkins said, laughing “We’re still high on Indy We’ve got a lot of races left, but you’ve got to celebrate (the wins) when you get them, because you don’t know when your next one will come ”

U ntil la s t year, i t w asn’t certain if a Penske team would get another win at Indy, simply because it wasn’t racing there The Penske Racing Team was p^rt of the CART (Championship Auto Racing Teams) circuit, from 1996 through 2000, it did not race at

IndyPenske, and llmor — which relocated tcj

Plymouth from offices at Detroit Diesel in Bedford in 1998 — returned to Indy last^ year, still racing for CART ^

Because of a court ruling tha t limits th ^ advertising of tobacco companies in sports, Marlboro, Penske’s top sponsor, could not^ have its name on his car at last year’s Indy> 500 because it was an IRL (Indy Racing League) race and Penske was associated with CART (tobacco companies can advei> tise/sponsor in one circuit or the other, but' not both)

The Penske Racing Team circumvented* that by leaving CART and joining the IRI^ this year

The move looks like a winner, for all those; involved with Penske and llmor

With 10 15 left, Dunmead scored again for Northville but the goal was disallowed after an offsides infraction Then with seven min utes remaimng, Rachel Perry took the ball from Guenther at midfield and broke in alone on goal, with Kneisel racmg out to confront her

Perry, however, failed to get off a shot on goal

“We walked right m on them a few times,” said Canton coach Don Smith "We just didn’t take advan tfi^e of it We did what we had to do

Except scoreFailing to pounce on those

opportunities would prove devas­tating for the Chiefs Northville adjusted its play m the second

half, more mentally than techni­cally

“We got on their case (at half­time),” said Meteyer “We named names, we named num bers of players who weren’t doing what they needed to do There were no vague generalities ”

These were also two teams that knew what the other had to offer Earlier th is season, they had played each other to a 1-1 draw

“We’ve played them twice we’ve seen them before, we know what they’re going to do,” said Meteyer

^ d they handled it — success fully Now the Mustangs will try and do the same against Salem, a team they beat 2-1 April 17 at

B a s e b a l l fro m p a g e D 1

South Lyon answered Canton’s two-run fourth with its four-run fifth, starting the rally with a base h it An error on a bunt attempt put runners on first and second, the next batter was also prepared to bunt the runners up, bu t a passed ball made th a t unnecessary as the run n ers moved to second and third

A grounder to second was then booted, allowing both runs to score and tie the game at 2 2 But the comedy of errors was not yet over, a walk and a wild pitch put runners at second and third, both scoring on a base hit

Four runs on two hits, four

errors, a passed ball, a wild pitch and a walk

Canton, on the o ther hand, scored two runs in the fourth on a single by Joe Kondratek and H anson’s home run , w ith two other hits in the inning but a baserunner getting picked off f ir s t e lim inating a scoring chance A double play in the sixth on a line shot to shortstop, w hich followed a base hit, wrecked another scoring chance for the Chiefs

In other words, it just wasn’t meant to be

South Lyon advances to play Plymouth Salem in the state dis­

tr ic t sem ifinal S aturday at South Lyon

In the firs t game gainst CC S aturday , the Chiefs scored three runs in the fifth on a walk to Chns Pirch, a Kondratek base hit, a walk to Hanson, a Brent Kwiatkowski fielder’s choice that scored one run and a Matt Kay single that scored two more

But that was more than offset by freshman Eric Vogtkofsky, who had three hits in that game (including two doubles) He also had two hits in the second game

“I don’t th ink we were pre pared to play them,” said Dickey of the double-header mercies “I

haven’t seen a freshman hit the ball like th a t since (Canton’s) James Wisniewski ”

Indeed, M att Staley started and lost the opener, giving up seven runs (five earned) on six hits in 1 1/3 innings In the sec­ond game, both teams emptied th e ir benches, playing th e ir entire rosters

Still, finishing th e ir season with four straight losses — after winning th e ir previous six — was not where Dickey figured the Chiefs were headed “It was frustrating,” he repeated, once again

On specifying lender source; ‘flipping’ on sale of house

I’m in terested in buying a con­dom inium un it, b u t th e developer is pushing h a rd to get u s to use a lender w hich the developer, I understand , controls.

Do I have any la titu d e in tha t regard as I am particu larly in ter­ested in th a t unit?

Under Section 113 of the Condo­minium Act, as amended in 2001, a developer, builder and sales agent

cannot require a pur- chaser to obtain

R O B E H T M .M B IS N E R

You may be the victim of a shady seller, who’s referred to in some states as a “flipper,” that is one who buys a house cheaply and then sells it to an unsuspecting home buyer for a pnce well in excess of real value

There have been cases in other states where a purchaser has been ^ble to obtain damages for what is tantamount to fraud and which would appear to be a violation of the Con­sumer Protection Act

Consult with an attorney familiar with this new area of the law You may also wish to wnte to the attorney general to see if the consumer affairs department can offer you relief

Robert M Meisner, a lawyer, concen trates his practice in the areas of con dominiums, real estate, corporate law and litigation

You’ve done everything you possibly could do to get your home ready for sale

You’ve spruced up the yard, polished the windows, replaced the crumbling concrete porch steps, painted inside and out The place looks terrific and it’s priced nght, but there’s no action

The reason is simple The house next door or the one behind the back fence or the one across the street out front is a mess

The grass is overgrown, fu ll of weeds and dandehons Or clunker cars parked around the property give the impression of a repair shop or sales lot

Or peeling paint, well-worn shin­gles, clogged gutters and dilapidated windows bring to mind the children’s book. The House That Had Enough

Rose Butkovich, a R ealtor w ith GMAC Quality in Livoma, remembers taking a prospective buyer to a home where the next door neighbor, who had been at odds with the seller, “basi­cally let everything go to hell

“They didn’t w ant anything to do with it-,” Butkovidi said of her clients “They went into the house tha t was listed, and it was beautiful, but then again, the house next door was an eye­sore”

Talk to any Realtor and you proba­bly will get a similar story

“The first impression a buyer actu­ally gets of a home som etim es includes the neighbor’s yard,” said Mary Savoie, an associate broker with Snyder Kinney Bennett & Keating in Birmingham

“We both know how important first impressions are A lot of times, sales mentally are made or broken right there,” Savoie said

“I’ve had situations of jUnk cars or debris in the (adjoining) yard,” said Marilyn Moir, associate broker with RE/MAX V illage Professionals in Clarkston

‘W hat it really means, like any other condition you face, is value is affected,” Moir added “If you don’t adjust for value, it will sit on the market longer It’s an unfortunate situation ”

1 ‘I t h in k c o m m u n ic a t io n i s t h e k e y . . . .D e p e n d in g o n t h e r e l a t i o n s h i p b e tw e e n t h e p o te n t i a l s e l l e r a n d a n n o y in g n e ig h b o r , y o u m a y b e a b le t o a p p r o a c h t h e m . . . g e t s o m e k in d o f u n d e r s t a n d in g a n d th e y m a y . . . c o o p e r a t e . ’

M arilyn M oir____________________ — associate broker, RE /M AX Village Professionals

S o n o w w h a t ‘s“I think communication is the key,”

Moir said “Depending on the rela­tionship between the potential seller and annoying neighbor, you may be able to approach them get some kind of understanding and they may be able to cooperate ”

Offer to help, or better yet, promote a b litz of a ll homes and common areas on the block, Moir suggested Make it a social as well as a working event

“Organize a block party and organ­ize a cleanup involving the whole neighborhood, so it’s not personal,” she said

Style counts big-time if you decide to approach a neighbor for that talk

“Be gen tle ,” Butkovich advised “Make subtle, careful suggestions Don’t come up and say, ‘Your place looks like crap ’ Keep them abreast about what’s going on Don’t let them find out (about the move) when they see the for-sale sign in your yard ”

A beverage or some cookies to share while talking could set a good tone

Savoie, who’s been in the business nearly 30 years, has found that con­fronting the offending neighbor won’t do much good

“I think it’s mostly people who don’t care about the aesthetics of their own surroundings,” she said of scofflaws “Talking to them probably will offend them and make it more difficult I don’t see th a t as a means of getting them to clean up ”

H er so lu tion - go to the code enforcement department in the munic­ipality where you live Most cities and townships have laws about storing vehicles, running a business out of a garage and keeping grass and weeds under control

Also, many newer developments

have deed restrictions - rules and reg ulations - enforceable by a homeown er’s association

Savoie recalled a problem in Birm­ingham w ith im provem ents th a t seemed to stall a t a house behind a listing she had

“I started putting pressure on the city,” she said “When I called, then they called the (offending) owner Finally, they threatened to ticket It was fixed I don’t know whether you could do that in every community, but I bet you could ”

Here are couple of other strategies

■ Elderly folks or persons w ith health problems may have difficulty maintaining their property They also may be more receptive to some fiiend- ly p^suasion

O ^ r to make some inexpensive cos­metic repairs, tn m the bushes and regularly mow their lawn and police their yard for debris between listing your house for sale and closing. In winter, offer to shovel snow off their sidewalks and porch

I t could be tim e and money well spent

■ Consider erecting a high-quahty privacy fence Again, a high-quality privacy fence

B ut firs t check w ith your local building department and homeowner’s association to make sure you can do it and learn about any restrictions on height, materials and other construc­tion standards

■ Send your Realtor over to talk to a recalcitrant neighbor A third party may be able to better reason and con­vince the neighbor that everyone will be better off with cooperation and a quicker move

Mr and Mrs Borrower were burned out on the ren ting scene They happened upon a beautiful doll house in the neighborhood of their dreams Excellent’ The price was exactly in their target price range and they were ready to place an offer

Mr Seller, savvy on today’s real estate trends, insisted that he would only entertain offers from borrowers who had been properly qualified by a

professional lending mstitution Anxious to lock up this gem, the Borrower rushed off to get pm-quaMed for a m o rtg ^

To th e ir dismay, they found fiiat their credit report was blemished by unpaid medical collections placed shortly after the ir child’s b irth Further, Mr Borrow­er was infuriated by credit carnage from his previous m ar-

nage that should have been resolved per his divorce judgment years ago

Unfortunately, correcting credit report!!^ errors, and removmg maccu- ra te inform ation, can often take months Had they o w n earlier, they could have repaired their credit with the three major credit repositones - Eiqienan, TransUmon, and Eqwfax

A lternatively, they could have turned to non-profit organizations, local or national credit repair com­panies, or their attorney for assis­tance Their costs and headaches would have varied greatly depend­ing on the choice Sadly, all of these methods required time - a commodi­ty which was no longer theirs

Their mortgage broker, a full-time loan officer, told them about some fascmatmg credit repair tools offered by the credit bureaus with whom he contracted Such programs, often called “Quick Fixes” or “Rapid Re- Scores,” allowed him make fast, per­manent credit repairs m a matter of only a few business days

To benefit fi*om such tools, borrow­ers must be able to provide written docum entation showing th a t the cred it rep o rt in form ation was wrongfiilly reported, and will usual­ly pay about $20 per repository for each item

A recent client of mine, a single m other, invested $220 in cred it repairs which allowed her to pur­chase a home for which she would not have otherwise qualified The Borrower family did the same thing

(AP) - A parent’s death can be devastating, taking a heavy emotional toll even on adult c h i l d ^

Then, to add to the gnet there’s the diffi­cult t a ^ of disposing of the estate - not just houses, secunties and bank accoimts, but a lifetime of possessions

In some ways, its impossible to prepare fto* the process Just as it is difficult to predict what emotmns will surface, there is no way to know m advance all of the family, practical or logistical problems that wiU arise as chil­dren sort diroi^h assets and belongings

Financial planners say disposing of an estate can be made much easier if parents have done some careful planmng, not just leaving a will, but letting children know where bank and brokerage accounts and any real property are located

It can also be helpful if parente write what are known as testamentary letters, ^q>ress- ing their wishes about who gets the good china or the clock that’s been m the family for generations
