Lindsey Cerilli shuffled her feet down the hallway from her bed-room to the living room, rubbing

her eyes after a nap. She rubbed her head , sparse ly covered wi th t he remainder of he r baby-soft blond hair.

Her mother, Lori, folded laundry while she matter-of-factly described a chain of events so dramatic other

Cerilli described her daughter 's

bone marrow tests and spinal taps, chemotherapy and the side effects.

"I haven ' t h a d enough t ime to worry. I'm too busy to lose it," she said.

Despite Lindsey's exhausted gray eyes, and despite potential outcomes of her battle, her soft voice and shy-ness remain reminders she's just 9 years old.

Canton Township will follow its police department's lead by breaking into the business of educa t ion and t r a i n i n g . The leadership t ra in ing will mean bet ter service for Canton resi-dents, but could also mean rev-enue for the township.

The police d e p a r t m e n t already t ra ins more than 900 of f icers f rom o the r agencies annua l ly , ea rn ing more t h a n $90,000 on the programs after expenses.

The township will offer i ts f irst phase of Canton Leader-s h i p c l a s ses for t o w n s h i p employees. The program was scheduled for l a s t week, but had to be postponed due to the terrorist attacks.

"When we started developing t r a i n i n g courses for our own employees, it was to develop our personnel," Public Safety Director John Santomauro said. "We didn't imagine at that time we would ever make money on the training programs. We had hoped they wouldn ' t cost the department anything."

The programs benefited the department by ensuring a high-ly-trained public safety depart-ment. As programs grew, there was an opportunity to improve Canton's image as a forerunner in police training, as well as to build revenue for the township,

municipal government. That's never been done

attending the classes. "It's important for all govern-

ment employees to understand how gove rnmen t works, and what's a millage, or where does it come from," Santomauro said.

While Santomauro projected the t o w n s h i p will have t h e opportunity to offer training to municipal employees from out-side Canton, Yack stated he's not sure if other municipalities will be willing to invest in their employees the way Canton has.

"Most agencies do not spend the kind of money they need to on training," he said. "Chances are in these times (of economic uncertainty and decreased tax r evenues ) you ' r e looking to reduce staff, not enhance the abilities of the staff you have."

According to Santomauro, the greatest benefit to the township is not n e c e s s a r i l y an entrepreneurial one.

"In most organizations, they miss the point t h a t the most important thing we provide is leadership," he said. "An orga-nization that has strong leader-ship in ternal ly simply does a better job of providing service."

by holding the training sessions for other police departments.

They now afford the depart-ment a level of pres t ige and revenue which exceeded the township's goals.

The r e s t of t h e t ownsh ip employees will get their f i rs t taste of Santomauro-influenced training, which has the poten-tial to expand in a fashion simi-lar to public safety courses.

"The leadershio series is not only geared toward police and fire, but for all groups in munic-ipal government. That's never been done before," Santomauro said.

Two dozen officers from around Michigan are test ing their skill and s tamina as par t of the Canton Police Department 's Special Weapons and Tactics certification course, which runs until the end of the month.

"The training is a real benefit to any officer," said Canton Police Lt. Rob Cripe. Although an officer may only encounter SWAT situations a few times a year, the training affects the manner in which the officer handles nearly all stressful duties.

"It makes them mentally tough and more disci-plined. Even on a domestic call where someone may be getting right in the officer's face, he'll be able to stay more calm. Or on a traffic stop tha t leads to a chase, his physical conditioning will be that much better," Cripe said.

Tac t i ca l r appe l l i ng , a s s a u l t p r o c e d u r e s , weapons training, dynamic building entries and barricaded gunman situations are just a few of the areas in which students are training.

According to Cripe, the three-week course has several purposes beyond SWAT certification.

"This course instills big-time discipline," he said. "It's by far the toughest school we run. It's very i n t e n s e and phys ica l ly d e m a n d i n g . I t requires a 100-percent commitment from each student."

A team of instructors, including Canton Police Sgt. Todd Mutchler , have t aken on t r a in ing duties.

"It's a big commitment for the instructors and the participating departments," Cripe said. "It's mentally and physically draining on them as well."

SWAT school began th i s week with a physical pre-test for students. Each must run 1.5 miles in 12 minutes or less, be able to spr in t 100 yards in less t h a n 16 sec-onds, do 45 push-ups and sit-ups, 5 palm-out pull-ups and do a 180-pound f i r e m a n ' s carry over 100 yards in less than 45 seconds.

Four o f f ice rs were s e n t home t h e f i r s t day, w h e n they failed to meet standards during the pre-test. One offi-cer also excused himself from t r a i n i n g l a t e r in t h e w e e k . D u r i n g an ave rage training class, three or four of t he two dozen s t u d e n t s don't pass the pre-test.

"The physical and mental d e r n a u G S a r e v e r y c h a 111 li g -

ing, especially for officers who aren't used to the physi-cal exe r t i on , " Cripe sa id . "The first week or two stu-dents ask themselves why they are being run to death. But that's the only way to exert that much stress on the body."

S tuden t s spend most mornings in physical training, then go for a run before proceeding to field training.

"They say it's an 8-hour day, but the day isn't done until all the t raining is complete," Cripe

day, Sept. 22, is the first day of autumn in the Northern Hemi-sphere. The word "equinox" is derived from two Lat in words t h a t mean "equal night ." On this day, the daylight hours are nearly identical to the number of n i g h t t i m e h o u r s all over t h e ear th - about 12 hours, 8 min-utes. This is because the sun is posi t ioned di rec t ly above t h e equator. In the Northern Hemi-sphere, this heralds the arrival of autumn and signals that win-te r is approaching, and in t he Southern Hemisphere, it 's t h e arrival of spring.

TAG from page A1 Battle the TAG Advisory Council. "Many parents of current TM* students have stated they moved into the Plymouth-Canton school district in an effort to obtain admittance for their children in our excellent TAG program."

Ellen Mozurkewich of Ply-mouth, who has a child in the TAG program, understands the financial aspect of the recom-mendat ion , but believes a

change could mean further loss of state money for the district.

"The current TAG students represent about $2.25 million in foundation grants. I think the board should consider the possi-ble loss of foundat ion gran t money as parents look for alter-natives in order to receive what they perceive to be appropriate instruction for their children," said Mozurkewich.

Booher said the recommenda-tion is in the early stages of dis-cussion and still needs to be hashed out by the board and parents. However, she does say there are some parents who have asked for changes in the TAG program.

"Because this is merely a pro-posal, it still needs to go forward through the long-range planning committee for discussion, and the parents of current TAG stu-dents are a voice that needs to be heard," Booher said. "Any

program that has been in place for any number of years deserves to be examined to see how it can be improved. I have many par-ents who have told me the i r child has been eligible for TAG, but they didn't choose it because they didn't want their child to travel to another school."

Board president Liz Givens acknowledged there are a vari-ety of opinions on the TAG pro-gram, all of which need to be dis-cussed before a final decision is made.

Lindsey just being a little tired," Cerilli said. "We never would have known. Other doctors would have put her on antibi-otics and it could have gone on for months, but her doctor was r ight on top of it, and kep t ordering tests."

Uncommon cold Lindsey came home lethargic

from her last days of school last spring, a simple blood test for mononucleosis led to a leukemia diagnosis.

Lindsey spent 50 days since July 20 at Mott Children's Hos-pital in Ann Arbor. She came home last week for a break from her treatments, but returned to the hospital over the weekend for a second round of chemotherapy.

"She had never been sick," Cerilli said. "When I took her to the doctor, we were ge t t ing ready for a two-week t r ip to Florida. We went, and she was in the pool every day, and eat-ing lobster."

When the family re turned , Lindsey was scheduled for

Lindsey went on Friday, July 20, for testing at 8 a.m. By 5 p.m., the family's world turned upside-down.

"The doctor called and told us, 'There's no nice way to say this, but Lindsey has leukemia,"' Cer-illi recalled. "I'll never forget that."

Lindsey was admitted to Mott t h a t n ight , and didn ' t come home for nearly two months.

"One of the really hard things is I still have two other children at home to take care of. I wish I could be in two places at once," Cerilli said. "But people started calling me right away to offer to take care of my other kids. Peo-ple started dropping off dinners from day one, and it h a s n ' t s topped.

realized I really can't do this alone."

Teachers f rom Lindsey 's school, Bentley E lemen ta ry , called and visited and brought . activities for Lindsey to do in the hospital.

Her third-grade teacher, Car-ole Brooks, even spent the night at the hospital to give Lindsey's parents the night off.

"I would hope tha t if I were sick, someone would do that for me," Brooks said. "But if you . met Lindsey, she's such a spe- , cial kid, you'd do it in a heart-beat, too. You'd do whatever you could to help."

I t ' s t he generos i ty and „ thoughtfulness that has touched , Cerilli so deeply her eyes fill with tears at the mention of the kind acts.

"The words 'thank you' are not enough to express how I feel ' about this community. It 's so warm to see there are still such > nice people in the world. The community has really come to our support," Cerilli said. "But I feel guilty because there are 12 ' little boys and girls on the sev-enth floor of the hospital that need help, too. That's why we're doing the blood and bone mar-row drive. I would be really sur-prised if there was a match for Lindsey right here in the Can-ton community. But if there was ' a match for just one of the other kids, that would be more than I could hope for. That would be the greatest."

The drive will be held 2-8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 3, at Bentley Elementary. For more informa-tion or to make an appointment, contact Lisa Clanton at (734) 397-2167.

Landfill plans raise stink with neighbors BY CAROL MARSHALL STAFF WRITER cmarsha!l@oe.homecomm.net

Canton Hills subdivision resi-dents say their neighbor's prop-erty is a dump. To be fair, it's a landfill.

The res iden t s appeared in front of the Canton Planning Commission Monday to express concerns about health hazards, noise and smell at the landfill.

They said the Sauk Trails Hills hasn't been the best neighbor, and has caused their quality of life to diminish.

"There's no credibility," said Canton Hills association presi-dent Emily Brock.

The meeting was scheduled to inform the commission about Sauk Trails Hills' plans to relo-cate a leachate evaporator from a location in the landfill's center to a location 1,600 feet from Michi-gan Avenue and Lilley Road.

The evaporator releases steam from the landfill's leachate, the water substance that escapes as garbage decomposes. It is burned off using methane gas, the other byproduct of decomposition.

The 50-foot high, silo-shaped evaporator has been in operation on the property for four years, according to Eastern Michigan Landfill General Manager, Brad Green.

Brock wasn't so sure the relo-cation wouldn't impact her prop-erty, where she has lived since 1974.

"If someone says there's not going to be any noise (when the evaporator is relocated), how can we believe them? If someone said there's not going to be any health hazard.. . .any smells, how can you believe them?" said Brock.

Brock said nearby home own-ers were "sold" on the dump when representatives promised the property would eventually be

rehabilitated and would be used as a recrea t iona l and ski ing facility.

They were also told the dump would only be active for eight years before rehabilitation would begin. The landfill was allowed to expand, and it grew from 90 feet high to 120 feet.

The landf i l l has r emained active for 20 years, and there's no sign of a ski lift in sight.

Hindsight has "told the landfill operators and the township that it was unrealistic to expect to use a rehabilitated landfill for a ski a rea , said Canton Township

• i f someone says there's not going to be any noise, how can we believe them? If someone said there's not going to be any health hazard....any smells, how can you believe them?'

-Emily Brock, Canton Hills homeowner

Municipal Services Director Aaron Machnik.

"Over the years as material decomposes there is a change in the land patterns," he said.

The landfill company never

really intended to rehabilitate the property, homeowners said.

"They knew they were deceiv-ing us (when they presented the plans), so there's a lack of credi-bility," Brock said.

According to Machnik, both the Michigan Department of Envi-ronmental Quality and Wayne County are satisfied with the landfill and the way it is operat-ed. Wayne County inspects the property weekly, and the MDEQ inspects the landfill quarterly.

Green said the evaporator does not release any smells into the air, but residents argued they smell garbage all the time.

"Most of the odor anybody has experienced was from the removal of the old landfill (imme-diately to the east). I admit that was difficult. We took 20-year-

old garbage and moved it," to a new location, which is secured with a liner underneath, Green said.

Machnik offered to facilitate a meeting between residents and Sauk Trails Hills representa-tives, to which everyone agreed.

"What we're offering to do -whether it takes it four hours, or it takes four days - is to answer the questions we hear from you," Machnik said. "I consider this a top priority."

deals with tight security and financial worries Y TIM SMITH TAFF WRITER imith@oe.homecomm.net

The world of air travel turned pside down following las t •eek's terrorist attacks and sub-equent secur i ty changes rdered by the Federal Aviation .dministration. It is a world needing major

nancial help, said Wayne Coun-7 Executive Edward McNama-a, who supports a multi-billion ollar bailout of the industry :om the federal government, everal air carriers, including forthwest Airlines, the core air-ne at Detroit Metropolitan Air-ort, reportedly have - or are bout to - cut operat ions by bout 20 percent. "The a i r l ines have taken a ouble whammy here," said IcNamara, namesake of a $1.2 illion world class terminal still 3t to open at Metro in January, 002. "The economy was failing nd the airlines had some pretty eavy drops in passenger loads, .nd then th is t ragedy came long and really crippled them adly.

Ed McNamara: Wayne County Executive

"They need some help. Some air l ines are ta lk ing about bankruptcy. If we're going to have competition, we have to keep them alive."

Not only are airlines fearing tough times, McNamara said any substantial drop in airport

business could make it tougher to pay off more than $1 billion in bonds for the new Edward H. McNamara Terminal, slated to be Metro's new home for North-west.

"If the airlines reduce by 20 percent then already our income for taking care of the bonded indebtedness of the airport is reduced by 20 percen t , " explained McNamara, ta lk ing about the $4.50 passenger fare charge (per ticket), expected to be the primary means of gener-ating revenue to pay off those bonds.

Despite the current unsettled economic situation, McNamara remains hopeful. "I don't see us going out of business."

But adjustments will need to be made "on everybody's part" to help restore the air transporta-tion business that is an Ameri-can mainstay.

Some changes are already in place at Metro and other U.S. a i rpor ts , those having been implemented by the FAA.

Trade-off

"What the terrorists used, ... those items probably could have gotten through any airport in the country," McNamara said. "So, the FAA gave us a list of changes and we've made all of them."

The increased public safety

presence is something McNama-ra thinks people "take solace" in.

But security is coming at the price of convenience and cama-raderie.

• For s t a r t e r s , passengers know they must arrive earlier

and cannot have the i r bags -checked at curbside. Greater scrutiny from security officials also is a reality. >-

advises fliers to plan ahead As more flights gradually con-

inue to fly to and from Detroit letropolitan Airport, passengers re reminded to confirm flight lans with thei r airl ines and llow extra time for check-in and ecurity screening. Wayne County also is recom-

lending the following tips to elp travelers with this transi-i.on: H Passengers should check

heck-in has put more pressure n airl ine ticket counters for aggage check-in and re-ticket-ig. In addition, new security rocedures may cause delays at ie airline security checkpoints, domestic passengers should plan n arr iving at the airport at •;ast two hours before the sched-led departure of their flight, aternational travelers should

allow at least three hours. 642-1978. The hotline is staffed • Before you leave or are en by employees with up-to-the-

Our fundamental purposes are to enhance the lives of our readers, nurture

customers.

They make us all proud in their finest, darkest hour

We joke about their poker games. We give our votes to politicians who promise to make them work more for less. We measure them with a stop watch and grumble when they fall short of our expectations.

But this week, firefighters and rescue workers all over America are standing taller and once again school children are answering the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" by saying proudly, "A firefighter."

We have new heroes. More than 300 New York firefighters are missing and presumed dead following the attack on the World Trade Center. Survivors tell of passing firefighters on the stairs. While they hurried to safety, the firefighters climbed into the inferno hoping to save more people.

As New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani

said about a fallen fire chief, he died the way wanted to die. The fire chief knew the dangers and accepted them, because that's what a firefighter does. He could not do less.

And still, more than a week later, New York's firefighters, police officers and res-cue workers, joined by professional vol-unteers from around the country, are working 24-hour shifts in desperate hope of finding survivors and in grim recogni-tion that they are gathering last remains.

We join in sa lu t ing the undaunted courage and the unyielding dedication of New York's firefighters. And we are also reminded that our own local firefighters take the same pledge to duty and willing-ly endanger themselves to save property and lives.

Next time you meet a firefighter, say "Thank you!"

A dad's dilemma: How to explain the unthinkable

Tedd Schneider

* -

Dcai1 LSarai;. It 's d i f fe ren t now.

Things have changed since the first day of school, when you were so excited about your second-grade teacher, Mrs. Irvin, being a famil iar face from kindergarten. Different from that too short trip over Labor Day week-end, our collective mood sunny as the day-time sky, as cool and carefree as the early September evening breeze.

Different for certain from the way it was before Sept. 11 - when all that was good seemed to crumble before our eyes, in tandem with the towers at the World Trade Center. When our psyche, which we Americans believed was invulnerable to the political turmoil that rocked the rest of the world, lies buried in the rubble in New York, at the Pentagon in Wash-ington, D.C., and in the crater near Pitts-burgh where the fourth jetliner crashed.

I believe you know th ings have changed, even though we haven't talked yet about the specifics in ways you would unders tand . How, a f t e r all, do you explain massive death and destruction to a child who believes the most mortal of wounds is the one suffered skinning her elbow as she learns to ride a bicycle sans training wheels? How do you tell some-one you love that the tears streaming down the faces of these surviving moms and dads, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, friends and co-workers, won't go away a f t e r a kiss and the magic words? ("Ichabaad boomerang." Don't ask.)

But I see it in your face, when you won-der what your parents are whispering about at the dinner table, or as we rush to turn on the TV after tucking you in at night. I know, too, that your school had an assembly last week and your class is collecting money for the "needy." Funny huh, how these people weren't needy - at least not in this way - just 10 days ago.

You know that we're counting Ameri-can flags, dozens of them, flying in our neighborhood as we ride to school each morning. And you know it's not Memorial Day or Independence Day.

I guess I expected a slew of questions when I walked in the door last Tuesday or Wednesday night. Questions prompt-ed by talk at recess, or in the lunchroom. "Daddy, what 's war?" "Daddy, do we know any terrorists?" "Daddy, is our house safe?" That would get me off the hook. I'd have to respond, of course, but at least I wouldn't be forcing the issue on you. I'd be clarifying things, put t ing these unsettling ideas that someone else gave you into context. Making things bet-

Say cheese: Sarah Schneider mugs for the camera at the Toledo, Ohio, zoo.

ter, rather than intruding with cold, hard realities.

That hasn't happened though. Maybe everything's just too fragmented now. Maybe you need more time before you can make enough sense to p u t your thoughts into a coherent question. God knows, I feel that way and I've got a few (OK, three dozen) years on you.

So I can see the burden is going to fall to me, probably sooner rather than later. I'll be the one who bursts your soap bub-ble perceptions about the world around you. No, it wasn't an accident. Yes, there are terrible people who do terriDie tnmgs. And good people who feel backed into a corner and respond by doing terrible things as well.

I'll tell you that individuals make deci-sions and carry out heinous acts, not reli-gions or homelands. You need to learn that evil isn't something you detect in a person's skin color or accent.

I'll be the one who tells you that good things can come from tragedy, that our nation's spirit will grow as we pick our-selves up off the ground. I'll tell you that maybe now we have the will, the courage and the allies to wipe terrorism off the face of the earth.

Il l tell you these last two things even though I'm not sure I believe them myself. But I need, I ache, for you to put faith in them because when the next gen-eration takes the reins it will require a positive attitude to have any chance of success.

One thing I do believe, I'll say, is that we can't go back to the way things were before Sept. 11. Things have changed. But as long as human minds fed by human hearts make the call, tragedy can remain the exception rather than the rule.

All my love, Dad

HONEST H

We are strong My rage still burns hot inside me, 30

hours after you did your awful deeds. It will not be diminished until you face the world for what you have done, and face it, you will.

You claim divine guidance from your god. I know many people who pray to the same god. Good, kind people who strive for a better place for their fami-lies. A better place to work where they are rewarded for their efforts. A better place to raise their children. A place where those same children can learn freedom and democracy. That better place is America. The place you would destroy.

If you are so fervent in your cause, why do you hide? If your cause is so just, why must you pursue it from

t! low'-'/' You caii me your avowed enemy, yet

you don't know me. Your hate runs deep for a people so unassuming as to allow you to attack us from darkness. Those same people share in a freedom of thought you won't allow. You would like to take our freedoms from us, but you will fail.

I am old now. My back and legs are tired. I am weary from my days of working for what I enjoy today. My country says we have younger, more able bodied men and women who are glad to do that for me. They will face you on the battlefield or the streets, on the water or in the air, but where will you be? I will fight you but I will not choose your weapons. I will face you at any place of your choice, just you and I. But you will have to come out from hiding to accept. You will have to show the world who you are. If your cause is so just and so pure, showing all of mankind your mandate will sure-ly glorify you.

You see, mine enemy, you don't know us. What you see as weakness, is strength. What you see as dispas-sion, is passion. What you see as an irreverent attitude is a rage unlike that which you will ever see again.

What you seek to destroy is born tnf A T4* iff

Until the last drop of blood runs from the veins of the last living American, we will fight with a vengeance unknown to you. Until you can stand on the grave of all who would rather die for our freedom, than have it taken from us, you will have failed.

My challenge stands, my enemy. Just tell me where to meet you.

• Poem captures spirit In response to your request on the

front page of Sunday's Canton Observ-er, I am sending you a copy of a poem I wrote last Friday, Sept. 14, 2001. It was our national day of prayer and remembrance, so I wrote this poem in an effort to capture the spirit and emo-tions of our country ... and our com-munity.

Rising from the ashes Through the steel, the glass, debris, Past the rescue workers Working oh, so carefully.

Up into the heavens Where we know it's safe to stay Are all those very precious souls Whose lives were lost Tuesday.

Surrounded by God's comfort, His,love, and all our prayers, Our loved ones are at peace right

now They know their country cares. ,. .,:

The anguish in our hearts prevails While our courage struggles through With faith, support, and confidence, We'll know just what to do.

Stand tall all proud Americans Stand up for what is right The world is watching, so take the

lead Arise: it's worth the fight!

• God Bless America Tuesday when I turned to Channel 4

and saw the second plane hit the WTC second tower I thought this was a movie of some kind. Then 1 saw zh? breaking news headlines across the television and realized that this was real.

This whole week has left me numb to the center of my being. There are no words to describe the horror and pain I felt for the people aboard the planes and in the buildings in New York, Washington, D.C. and in Pitts-burgh. My husband and I went to church on Sunday as we always do. We sang "God Bless America" and "My Country Tis of Thee," the words and feeling with which everyone sang moved everyone to tears.

Someone said recently that they never knew how wonderful it was to be a United States citizen until this horri-ble tragedy and I agree.

God Bless America and the families and victims are in my prayers.

Linda Tafoya Canton

I am angry When the attack first happened, I

was shocked. Then 1 was scared, and maybe still am. Finally, came anger.

I'm angry that my 7-year-old daugh-ter tries to understand but can't, because I can't seem to explain it. I'm angry that my 21-year-old son could go to war someday, and I can't save him from it. I'm angry that this may threaten the security of my husband;s job, and I can't reassure him it won't. As a travel agent I'm angry that I worked hard for years to build my business to my expectations, only to see it fall apart in one day.

And I'm angry, or maybe embar-rassed, that out of 40-plus homes I noticed while driving today, I counted only 10 that were showing our nation's colors. Not a flag, not even a ribbon.

Above all, I'm angry that I even feel this way, when I should be counting my blessings. And I cry for all those people who lost their lives, and those who loved them.

Fly your flag, Canton, Fly your flag! It helps the anger.

• On gas gouging Local gas stations have some nerve. On my way home from work Sept.

11,1 had decided that I would stop into the gas stations that line Michi-gan Avenue in Canton and ask the questions that everyone wants to. The questions we all say we want to ask, but are afraid to.

I visited the Amoco and 7-Eleven gas stations located at the corners of Michigan and Canton Center Roads to ask why they were charging close to $2 per gallon of gas. I asked' the station Attendants or owners why I could pay

$1.65 per gallon at the Michigan/Shelby don Mobil station and yet they had tfo^ nerve to charge over two dollars! I was " first told of a "gas shortage" but I didn't buy it, and neither should you-. ' j

Eventually, I was told the real'tea-f: son .... that "competition" on the c6r-ners forced them to raise their prices. I« continued on and found a more indig-1". nant slap in the face from the Amoco station at the corner of Cherry Hill -and Canton Center roads, where not .- • only was the asking price over $2, the ; American flag flying overhead wasn't": lowered to half-staff to show respect * for the dead! •

I continued on to Ford road to wit-ness the same gouging from Meijer and Speedway. All the while, the thr.e^ Mobil stations at the Cherry Hill/Lil* f ley, Michigan Avenue/Sheldon and Warren/Sheldon intersections priced their gasoline at or around $1.65 per .. gallon. _ *

I don't want to hear one more excuse about gasoline or crude oil shortages from our local gas stations. ; We all talk about gouging and com- , plain while we refuel. And yet, when I spoke to two of the Mobil station own--} ers, they told me directly, "There is no s gas shortage." One owner whose prices were reasonable even agreed to lowers the flag and apologized many times fo^ not doing so earlier. . ^ f*

If you own one of the gasoline sta-tions that raised prices and are read- rj, ing this now, you should be ashamed .i\ of yourself for gouging citizens and lying about shortages in the wake of ^ the terrorist attacks on our Country. ^ Your indignant attitudes and greed s|. won't be tolerated for long. Canton j isn't that big of a city that motorists : couldn't drive or even push their v e t a ^ cles to a lower priced competitor tb *>£ refuel.

I suggest we "shop around" and note of those stations like Meijer, Amoco, Clark and Speedway who took* advantage of a national tragedy tip I make an extra 40 cents on the gallon.^

And as an aside, if you are goiflg fly the American Flag, learn to dp it with the resnect and honor that has been earned by the deceased. If y#u > £ don't know how, ask a veteran or jyo-t&g the library and look up flag etiqugtte.^

Thank heaven there are at least some honest proprietors in Canton. I was surprised when I went out Tuesday evening to get gas for my near empty van to see that many of our neighborhood gas stations, including Meijer, Speedway and Clark on Ford Road had increased their prices from $1.62 in the morning to $1.89 that evening. It angers me to think that anyone would think of profiting from the blood and suffering of our slain citizens.

Refusing to pay these prices and running on empty, I turned north on Sheldon to head on home and was encouraged to find that the Mobile station at Sheldon and Warren was selling fuel for $1.65, the same as it had been on that terrible morning. The employees were kind and efficient in trying to route the traffic around the building in an orderly manner so that everyone could be served.

I have always been impressed by the community support that this Mobile station lends to the people in Canton. Hardly a sum-mer weekend goes by without some youth group, church group or school group having a car wash to raise funds because of the kindness and support of Tim Chan and his gas station. The Bible tells us we reap what we sow. I hope that we will all patronize business owners like this and drive on by the stations that clearly have dollar signs in their eyes instead of kindness and honesty in their hearts.

• Turkish Americans feel the pain, anger

Sept. 11 was a day that face-less cowards destroyed the lives of all Americans and threatened our Democracy. Terrorism is one

Thoughts from past conflicts provide comfort for tragedy

Considering the tragic events of last week, I feel it would be impious to write this column on-the usual subjects. Instead, I've tried to find some lines that either cast light on our present circumstance Dr help comfort my prayers.

Many have compared the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon with Pearl Harbor. Without doubt the comparison is apt, both as to the crushing damage of a surprise attack and the doubts about America's will to fight a sustained conflict. Here's what President Franklin D. Roo-sevelt said just after that attack, nearly 60 years ago:

"Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the

American people in their righteous might will win through to abso-lute victory. I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endan-ger us again."

Almost certain-ly, the spawning grounds for these

attacks are the desert sands of the Arab world, Adhere religious fanaticism seems an evolutionary adaptation necessary for survival. The Irish poet, William Butler Yeats, caught a glimpse of it:

"Hardly are these words out, When a vast image out of Spiritu Mundi Troubles my sight; somewhere in the sands of the

iesert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze, blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds."

I wouldn't be at all surprised if last week's attacks will go down in history as the first big mgagement of what's likely to turn out to be World iVar III. This time, however, the enemy is not an mperialist or dictatorial nation state, but cultural >attle pitting us against a widespread network of ;rue believers who consider those who compassion-ately tolerate differences to be merely weak. Yeats, igain, foresaw it:

"Things fall apart; the center cannot hold. Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. A blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

Phil Power

The ceremony of innocence is drowned. The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity."

How, then, can we come to understand the terri-ble tragedy of the loss of so many wholly innocent people? In part by recalling with the English poet,

There is no doubt that we have suf-fered a defeat in the deaths of

thousands of innocent people and in our collective loss of innocent

security.

Rupert Brooke, the sad details of the daily divinity of the lives of those we never knew and who we have now lost:

"These hearts were woven of human joys and cares,

Washed mArvelmislv with sorrow swift to mi r th . The years had given them kindness. Dawn was

theirs, And sunset, and the colours of the earth.

' These had seen movement, and heard music; known

Slumber and waking; loved; gone proudly friend-ed;

Felt the quick stir of wonder; sat alone; Touched flowers and furs and cheeks. All this is

ended."

There is no doubt that we have suffered a defeat in the deaths of thousands of innocent people and in our collective loss of innocent security. And there is.no doubt that what we now face will be long, dif-ficult and perilous, calling for more wisdom and creativity than military might. Winston Churchill, the English Prime Minister during World War II, caught these shifting emotions, in preface to the first volume of his monumental work, The Second World War:

In War: Resolution. In Defeat: Defiance. In Victory: Magnanimity. In Peace: Good Will.

My wife, Kathy, and I planted spring bulbs over the weekend, an act of hope and confidence.

of the most disgusting acts any one person can do to one another.

All Turkish Americans feel the pain and anger that has come across our great Nation. Turks have dealt with the horror of ter-rorism for more than 20 years at the cost of losing 40,000 innocent lives around the world and with-in our beloved America.

Having suffered more terrorist casualties than any other coun-try in the closing decades of the last century, Turks have spent $150 billion trying to fight ter-rorism.

The Turkish American Cultur-al Association has represented more than 1,000 Turkish Ameri-cans living in Michigan, mainly the greater Metro Detroit area, since 1972. We understand all too well the extreme shock, dis-gust and sadness the families of the victims will feel deep in their hearts for much of their lives, and as a nation we shall never forget!

This act targets the United States of America, but also tar-gets the human race and the way of free life we all believe in. This incident goes beyond borders, race, citizenship and religions.

We, Turkish Americans, have suffered too much and too long at the hands of international ter-rorists. This is the time all Amer-icans, Turks and the rest of the world unite to end the horrors of terrorism in this world!

All Turkish Americans fully support and understand the role that our president, George W. Bush, must achieve. God Bless Us All!

• Dog found boy I am sending this e-mail in

regards to an article that was in your paper on Thursday, Sept.13. The article was in the Canton Observer (Page A2) about a little boy found in the subdivision of Meadow Village of Canton on the morning of Sept. 11.

After reading the article I noticed that some of the facts were wrong and the story print-ed was incorrect. It said that the little boy was noticed by a jogger when in fact it was my dog Angel who led to the recovery of this boy. My dad, "the jogger," was taking my dog out and was head-ed back in the house when my dog sat down and started to gruff at whatever she saw.

My Dad thought it was a skunk or a critter of some sort and was trying to get the dog

back in the house while she still proceeded to gruff at the object of her attention so my Dad gave a second look and noticed it was a little boy in his pajamas.

My Dad then went and picked the little boy up and brought him in the house and called the Canton police. Your article just mentioned the ^jogger" and went into detail about this officer who lives in our sub. My dog is the real hero of this story. I don't want to take anything away from the many great men and women who serve our country with pride, especially after last week's tragedy. I bless the fact that we have an officer living in our sub, but I would like to give credit where credit is due and that is to my dog.

This was how I started my Tuesday morning before I went to work and then the terrorists attack happened. I would like to take the opportunity to thank the people who serve and protect our great country. I am attaching a photo of Angel so you can see my hero. She would make a real-ly good search and rescue dog but she is an even better pet.

• No to 'authority' I am writing concerning the

Senate committee, apparently led by Sen. Dan DeGrow (R-Port Huron), which is planning on setting up an "authority" to over-see contracts at the Detroit Metro Airport.

Open-ended comments con-cerned with "not having an air-port like it is now 10 years from now" are being bandied about. It is pretty obvious to me what is going on.

DeGrow, from Port Huron, says that he doesn't want to have the state muscle in on the airport to make it a moneymaker. This is a strange position. Considering that this "authority" would have control over contracts, hiring, fir-ing, development, construction and insider information regard-ing major airline usage at the airport, it seems ridiculous that Senator DeGrow, all the way from Port Huron, would say that the state appointees and cronies are not going to increase the moneymaking capabilities of the airport for the state as well as anyone with this privileged insider information. It seems he is saying straight out, that they are not there to make money, but to take money.

DeGrow from Port Huron seems to be singularly intent on the activities in southeast Michi-gan,specifically Detroit. He is encouraging "education" changes

while ignoring the continuing flood of illegal immigration in other parts of the state and seemingly abetting the continual flood of illegal drugs into the area by his silence against them.

I believe that Metro Airport does not need an "authority" des-ignated by a senator from Port Huron or from a governor who is still beftiddled by the monster he has created with the Depart-ment of Environmental Quality.

I call to DeGrow's attention in Michigan Criminal Laws and Rules' 2000 Edition, Chapter 259, Aviation - the Aeronautics Code of Michigan has already made due and created in the year 1946 an aeronautics com- , mission.

What I believe I see here is a desire to make sure that, the state has adequate jobs available for the representatives, senators; governor's office appointees and others that are going to lose their job when the present bun-gled state administration is sent packing at the next election day.

I urge you not to support this seemingly small endeavor spon-sored and forced upon us by DeGrow. Port Huron is not Detroit, and is not even in league with Detroit Metro Airport. I feel that any attempt by the gover-nor to create another entity regarding aeronautics in Michi-gan will be wasteful.

The governor seems complete-ly unaware of the current sys-tems in place and will do any-thing he is told to do. DeGrow would be well advised to keep his attentions to his own local area, which is crawling with ille-gal immigrants and supports a thriving drug community rather than attempting to choke off the economic advances being made at Detroit Metro Airport.

The creation of "authorities" during the Depression were because local governments had become totally corrupt and bankrupt. The result has been that over the years, except for the monolithic and wasteful Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York, they have all been pushed aside.

We have a good State of Michi-gan, we have a good City of Detroit, and it is going to get bet-ter, as long as we keep the politi-cians out of pur pockets.

Certainly there must be other work for Senator DeGrow from Port Huron to do other than interfering in our local affairs. The way Sen. Glenn Steil (R-Grand Rapids) puts it: "...we'll do what we have to d o . . . i s apparently a strong arm threat.

I suggest the Sen. Steil also look elsewhere for profit.

• Once ticketed passengers get through security, however, they are on the i r own as the FAA also now prohibits friends and family members from going to gate areas. That change alone could take a hunk out of revenue hoped to be genera ted at the Edward H. McNamara Termi-nal, where original plans called for 125,000 square feet of mall-like retail space - featuring 85 shops and restaurants.

The county and Nor thwes t might be forced to re-draw those plans, moving the location of metal detectors, so tha t more people can enjoy those facilities.

• Several short-term parking lots located within 300 feet of terminals were re-opened follow-ing approval from the FAA. But, in order to park there, motorists will have their vehicles visually inspected. Those areas include

the short- term section of the parking deck and lots located in front of the Berry International Terminal and across from the Airport Marriott Hotel and.L.C. Smith Terminal.

McNamara said the elimina-tion of curbside check-in points will eliminate plans to open such a facility inside the airport's new 11,500-space parking garage and wipe out 24 curbside check-in locations.

But he isn't giving up on the plan, which would be a unique service for customers. "If we can do it without sacrificing safety, then we will ask the FAA to con-sider it."

About curbside luggage check-ins being eliminated, customers will be inconvenienced.

"But the new airport will be much larger, more spacious," noted McNamara. "These things can be done better than in the Davey" terminal.

Northwest officials could not be reached for comment.

Granhom warns about charity scams Attorney General J e n n i f e r

Granholm Michigan warned res-idents to be on the lookout for charity scams that she believes are almost certain to materialize after the recent terrorist attacks in New York and Washington.

Fraudulent solicitations tha t exploit the tragedy have already been reported in other states, she said.

She said the Attorney Gener-al's office has already heard of one e-mail scam that provides a link to what a citizen would like-ly think is the Red Cross, when it is actually a private web site

collecting credit card numbers. The Attorney General's Chari-

table Trust Section licenses most charities that solicit donations in Michigan. She urged residents to call that office before deciding whether to donate.

"Charity and skepticism would not seem to make good partners, but a healthy skepticism is the best way to ensure t h a t the money you send is used for its intended purpose," Granholm said.

Granholm warned state resi-dents to be especially wary of telephone or Internet solicita-

tions that require an immediate donation or a credit card num-ber.

She pointed out that her office has posted a list of some of the better-known charities and ways to contact them.

Other information on how to hel|) the victims of the terrorist tragedies and their families can be found on the state's website at www.michigan.gov or the U.S. government 's webs i te a t www .firstgov.gov.

Trinity House Theatre opens 2001 season BY CHRISTINA FUOCO SPECIAL WRITER

Nestled within a collection of trees and an office building, the red-painted Trini ty House Thea t r e i sn ' t easi ly noticeable while driving down Six Mile Road.

sary works of art." "We want artists who are artistically

excellent. There's also a real passion for artists tha t explore, through their music, issues of faith," said Bill Keith, who has served on Tr in i ty House 's

board of directors for two years. "We somewhat stay away from the

typical contemporary Christian music artists. There's not a lot of interest in doing that . We're more interested in artists where the faith aspect weaves

through their music as an undercurf rent, but not a dogmatic thing." ;

Trinity House is celebrating thos^ beliefs during its 21st season, which began Sept. 7. Local favorites Mat t Watroba and Robert Jones, as well as an "Evening of One Acts" and "Around t h e House," a two-day mul t i -media variety show are among the events on the unusually busy Trinity schedule/ Like last season, Trinity House's board decided to concentrate more on musicj than theater. \

The centerpiece of this year's sched-j ule, however, isn't musical, according to Keith. It's "An Evening of One Acts,'' f ea tu r ing Babel's in Arms and Timd Flies, by David Ives, and The Picketers by J e f f r e y Adams . I t r u n s Oct . 19 through Nov. 11. ;

"The board looks at wherever there'3 a passion at a particular moment. We tried out a few concerts a couple years ago and had some pretty good success/ There 's been a snowballing process

since then. There's a lot of pas-sion for that (music) there," said Keith, a 1985 Plymouth Salem High School graduate..

Kitzmann added that the Trin-ity House decided to focus on concerts because, like many area local theater organizations, it is struggling to find enough people to work during its productions.

"Theater productions are really labor intensive. You need produc-ers, directors, check people, actors, everything. So when we do a concert, it's one night or two sometimes."

"As board president, I want to keep doing them but I think we really also feel tha t we're not going to take on projects that we can't support, that we don't have personnel to do," Ki tzmann added.

"I think all community the-aters face the same struggle -finding people to do the work. It's discouraging, too, when you don't have a big audience. We run the plays for 12 performances and average 40 people a performance. You just feel like you've worked and worked for weeks and the results are sometimes discourag-ing. Sometimes people have a lot of things drawing their interest for their leisure time."

But the musical direction has

been successful,.leading to a slew of sold-out shows. Singer-song-writers Sarah Masen, Madison Greene, Vigilantes of Love and Keri Noble are the most popular acts who have performed there.

Trini ty House Thea t re was founded by Paul Patton, the. now-former pastor of Trinity Church in Livonia. Originally, the the-ater was part of the church but it was later incorporated separate-ly.

Patton, who now works as a professor in Virginia, made a guest appearance at the begin-ning of last year's 20th season in the summer of 2000.

Keith, who serves as station manager at Plymouth Salem and Canton high schools' radio sta-tion WSDP-FM, attended perfor-mances at the theater for about seven years before officially becoming a part of the organiza-tion. For the last two years, he has served on the board of direc-tors.

"It seemed like the productions that they were doing were plays that really made people think, that had just different or inter-esting aspects to them. There was a wide mix, too, and a wide variety of talented actors and insightful productions."

"This is very exciting, a live audience, going on stage, the rules of the theater. It's a new arena for me. I've, done theaters with my own show on Broadway but this is different. There are other rules.. . three stage man-agers. I get notes all the time."

Ann-Margre t , mar r ied 34 years to actor Roger Smith, who played Jeff Spencer in the 1960s television hit 77 Sunset Strip,

s doesn't anticipate slowing down her stage appearances.

"I'm a happy person and love my work," she said. "I would have to quit immediately if I did-n't love it because I'm a Taurus, stubborn, you can't make me do it."

Theater aims for 'brave truthful' works of art BY CHRISTINA FUOCO STAFF WRITER

Kathy Kitzmann, president of the Trini ty House Thea t re ' s board of directors, says people f requent ly tell her tha t he r venue 's mission s t a t emen t -"brave, truthful, necessary works of art" - comes across as arro-gant.

But Kitzmann defends it and looks forward to challenging her audience with the Evening of

, One Acts, Oct. 19 through Nov. 11. Board member Bill Keith calls the event the centerpiece of this year's schedule.

"People say, 'Well that's (the mission statement) pretty egotis-tical of you to think that only you are doing that,"' Kitzmann said.

"But we would like to know tha t what we are doing chal-lenges people, makes them think about life and truth. We do come from a Christian orientation, and we don't want to preach at people. It's not our goal.

"It's not our goal to proselytize but to have people face the ques-t ions of life and th ink about them."

This year's Evening of One Acts features Babel's in Arms and Time Flies by David Ives and The Picketers by Je f f rey

Adams. K i t z m a n n describes them as "absurdist dramas" that are best suited for those ages 13 and older.

For example, Time Flies tells the story of two mayflies who are courting and discover, through a television show, tha t mayflies have just 24 hours to live. Their purpose, they l ea rn , is to be born, mate and then die.

"So they ' re j u s t s t ruggl ing with that . ... But we all have some kind of struggle with time going by too fas t , " said Kitz-mann, who also teaches chem-istry at Mercy High School in Farmington Hills.

Each year, Trinity House The-atre goes through the arduous process of choosing which plays, to perform during the Evening of One Acts. The decision is so diffi-cult that it has somewhat ham-pered the theater program at the theater.

"That's one of the reason why we've cut back on doing main-stage plays. It's hard for us to find plays that we really want to do.

"We have a committee now, the play advisory committee. Their task is to read as many plays as they can and to present to the board sugges t ions for what they think would be good plays for us to do."

Birmingham troupe says 'I do' to comedy§ BY SHARON DARGAY STAFF WRITER

When Angela Lentine dons her white bridal gown and veil on Fr iday , h e r f a t h e r will begin dabbing tears.

"It's wild. I know my dad will bal l ," L e n t i n e s a id . " I 'm t h e youngest of five and the last to be mar r i ed . My dad says he 's bringing Kleenex."

Talk about a convincing per-formance. Her father's tears may be real, but her vows are script-ed.

Lentine, 23, of Clinton Town-ship will get hitched on stage at the Village Players of Birming-ham playhouse in the comedy, The Father of the Bride.

"I h e a r d about t he audi t ion th rough an advisor a t Wayne S t a t e , " sa id L e n t i n e , who is studying business at the univer-sity.

"I thought , 'Oh heck, I'll t ry out. ' I didn ' t t h ink I 'd get the part. I was so amazed I did."

The Birmingham troupe opens i ts new season wi th t he play, which s t a r s L e n t i n e a s Kay Banks; Kevin Kowalski as Buck-ley Dunstan, the groom; Barbara Underwood as Mrs. Banks, the bride's mother; and Christopher Crossen , as Mr . B a n k s , t h e bride's father.

"Everyone keeps t e l l ing me

• The original 1950 Vincente Mlnnelll f i lm Included Elizabeth Taylor and Joan Ben-nett. Martin, Diane Keaton and Kimberly Williams play in the 1991 version, which also starred comedi-an Martin Short.

t h a t th is is in preparat ion for w h a t I ' ll go t h rough , " said Crossen, of Beverly Hills. "It's a b o u t a poor guy who works ha rd and is fairly oblivious to what's going on around him, who finds out his daughter is going to get married."

Crossen won't have to worry about marrying off his daughter any time soon — she's only 12.

But he's having fun in the part t h a t both Spencer Tracy and Steve Martin filled on screen. He saw the original movie version just before being cast in the role.

"I'm glad I saw it. Our play is set in the 1950s. We have not updated it," he said. "The set is deco ra t ed l ike a typ ica l '50s home."

The or iginal 1950 Vincen te Minnelli film included Elizabeth Taylor and Joan Bennett. Mar-tin, Diane Keaton and Kimberly Williams play in the 1991 ver-sion, which also starred comedi-an Martin Short.

Crossen took on the fa ther ' s role after another actor backed out of the part.

"The p e r s o n who was cas t accepted some th ing else t h a t came up the next day. He with-drew and they called on me to s t ep in," he expla ined . "It 's a wonderful role and a great pro-duction."

It also demands a bit of jug-gling, because Crossen is fulfill-ing an off-stage role. He's presi-dent of the Village Players this year.

"The president 's job is pret ty time consuming and this is the beginning of my incumbency, so this has been a time to get every-one together and get organized," he said.

Crossen said the first show of t h e new season a lways chal -lenges the group because casting and rehearsals s tar t in August, while some members are st i l l savoring the last few weeks of

'Hardball' tosses out some emotion BY DAVID GERMAIN A P MOVIE WRITER

Hardball is a two-hank i e sports soap opera, but don't hold that against it. With surprising melodrama, the film packs some powerful emotional swings that will hearten the toughest of jeer-ing crowds.

The ti t le sounds severe for a film about a down-and-out gam-bler goaded into coaching a youth baseball team. After all, isn't this going to be one of those touchy-feely, cutely comic family flicks about a loser who finds direction in his life as mentor to a misfit bunch of inner-city kids?

The th ing is, Keanu Reeves and director Brian Robbins are playing hardbal l here. This is

not The Bad News Bears in the ghetto or The Mighty Ducks on the diamond.

Hardball has lighter moments and loads of s e n t i m e n t , b u t that 's all neatly stitched into a package of somber grittiness, bit-t e r l i fe l e s sons a n d t e a r y tragedy.

The combina t ion shou ldn ' t work , b u t i t does. Hardball blends its seemingly disparate e lements into a coherent f i lm tha t ' s entertaining, funny, sad and even a b i t u p l i f t i n g and inspirational.

The movie was i n s p i r e d by Daniel Coyle's book about h is time coaching a baseball team in Chicago ' s h o u s i n g p ro jec t s . Reeves plays Conor O'Neill, a

c h u m p who sca lps t i c k e t s to finance his real occupation: Los-ing heaps of money on spor ts bets.

Early on, Hardball establishes a dark, hopeless tone as Conor spirals further into debt.

"You looking for fa i th? For-g iveness?" asks a p r ies t who encounters Conor in deep prayer at a church.

"I'm looking for the Bulls to cover the spread," Conor replies in quiet desperation.

In deep to bookies threatening to rearrange his anatomy, Conor t u r n s for c a sh to h is old pa l J immy, an investment banker. Jimmy (Mike McGlone) helps out with a weekly check as long as Conor takes over his coaching

chores for a boy's baseball team in the projects.

"Jimmy, I ain' t no good with kids," Conor pleads.

But the kids - and the audi-ence - know better.

Conor reluctantly sets out to mold his little band of Sammy Sosa wannabes into something resembling a t eam. The boys, hungry for a fa ther figure, see decency and de te rmina t ion in Conor t h a t he himself doesn' t know he possesses.

Slowly, Conor evolves from a bench-warmer in the game of human relations to a man who's at least awaiting his turn in the on-deck circle.

Along the way, Hardball trots out cliche after cliche, yet Rob-bins m a n a g e s to weave t h e m into a credible whole.

Coach Conor bonds with the boys over pizza. He finds a love interest in the youths' teacher (Diane Lane). He clashes with a by-the-book league official and an oppos ing coach (D.B. Sweeney) whose players are clad in swanky uniforms to' Conor's boys' skimpy T-shirts.

And there ' s nothing terr ibly original about the mean-street milieu the boys move through.

What is original is how well Robbins combines e n g a g i n g comic interaction among Conor and his players with stark urban drama. The film holds together nicely even as it tw i s t s f r o m despondency to giddy humor to startling calamity and, finally, to uncertain hope.

STRFtT S C E N E

Parker & Lily say 'Hello Halo' P a r k e r Noon

and Lily Wolf h a v e reached the point where they finish each o t h e r ' s sen-t ences . Some m i g h t say t h e closeness of this mus ica l couple r e f l e c t s in t h e a t m o s p h e r i c s o u n d s c a p e s

they're creating.

And tha t ' s j u s t fine for New York's Parker & Lily.

Once the secre t weapons of Va|entine Six, Parker Noon and Lily Wolf broke from the rock act to pursue something of a slower pace, something more refined. Going s imply by t h e i r f i r s t names, Parker & Lily produce an eefie and beaut i ful life sound-track that soars and haunts the imagination. It's music almost a decade in the making.

Going b a c k "We met a t college 10 years

ago," said Lily, "Bennington in Vermont." But neither half of the couple finished college. Instead, th§y l e f t t o g e t h e r to p u r s u e mifsic. "We were advised by a professor to fly away and learn the tricks of the trade," she adds.

But Lily Wolf had already had plenty of experience wi th the tricks of this business. As a little girl she learned to play piano under the watchful eye of her grandmother ' s bes t f r iend - a concert pianist and "amazing tal-ent." "She was always around and it made sense that I should start taking piano lessons when I was 5," Lily explained. In the beginning she was almosf-forced into practicing. Once she came proficient enough, though, she liked what she was hearing. "It is the best instrument for com-posing. You h a v e the e n t i r e range at your fingertips." Piano led to college, and college led to

• 'We have a phobia about modern music and modern musicians. There's been a long, dark peri-od from 1978 to '94 or '96.'

Parker Noon • Parker & Lily

"I fell in love with him and his record collection," Lily said with a bright laugh.

Two Valentines

From Bennington College the two flew off to Texas to s t a r t

V a l e n t i n e Six, an octet t h a t scaled down to a sextet and then se t t led to f ive members . Sti l l Pa rke r & Lily were in charge. "Valentine Six wasn't doing very well," recalled Parker , frankly. "We got to the point where we didn't much care."

He and Lily found themselves s w i t c h i n g focus , mus ica l ly . " V a l e n t i n e Six music got so much more mode rn , more romantic," he said. "It sounded a little gauche." Deciding to take this new direction, to forget the loud, fas t Valent ine Six of the pas t , the duo took on i ts new name in 2000 and started over. "It 's much easier touring with two people t h a n tour ing wi th six," said Parker.

"I wasn't digging what Valen-t ine Six was doing," he added. So, he took time out and wrote down his 50 favorite songs "in the world." "They are all soft, all melancholy," Parker said. "Even wi th louder forms of music, it was the softer (songs). I decided I should go off and write some of these."

The r e s u l t ? P a r k e r & Lily released Hello Halo on Orange Recordings. It was very much an equal effort.

"We do a l m o s t e v e r y t h i n g together," Parker said. "I do all the drum programming. I do all the lyrics. For the most part she does all the chords. She's a damn genius."

Lily t a k e s t h a t compliment and gives another . "He has all the bits tha t I 'm missing," she said. "I'm really good with the details."

P a c k i n g f o r t w o The couple p l a n s to re lease

another record and EP wi th in the next six months. Recording seems almost too easy. But tak-ing t h i s show on the road is another story. "We're really just sort of finding our legs in terms of a live show," admitted Parker.

Live, the duo's sound takes on a denser feel. It's not the sparse, floaty ambiance of the record. The 1950's style analog d r u m machine gives an added dimen-sion. "I sort of hot-wired and dis-t o r t ed i t ," sa id P a r k e r w i t h pride. "It's hard to sustain the whole sparse, moody thing with-out drums. It's, real difficult to record a whole album without drums. Live, it just tends to fall."

The last thing Parker & Lily want to do is bore the i r audi-ence. "I d idn ' t w a n t to be a m u s e u m exhib i t , " exp l a ined Parker. It's quite a switch- from the raucous audiences that flood-ed Valentine Six shows. Now the two are greeted with what Lily can only describe as a "strange hush."

"It was scary to leave the rock thing behind," she said, knowing the music she 's making today means so much more.

"We have a phobia about mod-ern music and modern mus i -cians," sa id P a r k e r . "There ' s been a long, dark period from 1978 to '94 or '96." He blames techniques like multi-tracking, the lost art of tube reverb, and radio f o r m a t s for t h i s s h i f t . "When I m a d e the l is t of my favorite 50 songs, most of them were singles in 1954 or so."

That was a time when a band could spe^d three days in the s tudio p e r f e c t i n g one s ing le , r a the r t h a n rush ing to get 12 songs down in the same amount of time.

"When we came to write this stuff, we decided to go to sparse instrumentation,"' he said. "We don't trust other musicians."

That isn't entirely true. Parker & Lily features some guest musi-

cians on Hello Halo, fr iends, if you will. Mat t Verta-Ray (The O u b l i e t t e s , Speedba l l Baby) taught the two everything they know about programming. Tony Corsaro filled in on drums - that is before he wandered off to be the "Harlem Gospel Choir's only whi t e guy," said P a r k e r . And Bruce Wolf came in with t rum-pets and saxophone.

A n e w w a v e in s u b t l e t y Somewhere amid this wafting,

subtle beauty, Parker & Lily win comparisons to The Tindersticks, Stereo Total, Arab Strap, Bardo Pond and Broadcast. Don't call them influences. Parker & Lily started out oblivious to many of these performers and recent ly became fans . "We didn ' t know Broadcast ," said Lily. "People assumed we drew from them."

Some songs on Hello Halo were w r i t t e n for a f i lm t i t led Winterland, which was scripted by a friend but has yet to see the light of day.

"We take all the soundt rack work that comes because we love it so much , " said P a r k e r . He believes film soundtracks leave a profound mark on us, one tha t sometimes we don't even realize. The works of Henry Mancini are rooted in his memory.

Parker & Lily return just over a month after their last area per-formance — at t he now-closed Gold Dollar in Detroi t . "It 's a damn shame," said Parker of the news. "I was ask ing everyone where to go."

Parker & Lily settled on Detroit Contemporary, 5141 Rosa Parks Boulevard in Detroit. Catch them Thursday, Sept. 27 with openers Recorder and The Climax Divine. For details call (313) 898-4ART or see info @detroit contemporary, com.

Together: Lily Wolf and Parker Noon have been making music together for over a decade. Once part of Valen-tine Six, now an unconventional duo hinged on the sounds of "Lil's" piano and Parker's knack for pro-gramming, Parker & Lily are a New York commodity. Don't miss them at Detroit Contemporary later this month.

bathroom gets a

u jtik/ facelift

BY KEN ABRAMCZYK STAFF WRITER kabramczyk@oe.homecomm.net

hen Pamela Hass of Westland entered the Ugly Bathroom contest earlier this year, her finances were tight, as she was going

through a divorce. "1 wanted to remodel the bathroom, but I just

couldn't afford it." Hass said. Bui Hass filled out an entry form, took pho-

tographs and mailed them in Out of 700 pntrip< her bathroom was deemed by judges as the ugliest in the Original Ugly Bathroom contest, sponsored by the Observer & Eccentric Newspapers, WJR-AM 760 Radio, Mathison Supply of Livonia, Canton and Garden City, and the Building Industry Association of Southeast Michigan in Farmington Hills. Hass won a remodeling job on her bathroom worth approximately $10,000, installed by Complete Home Improvement of Livonia.

Judges reviewed Hass's photos, which showed how water damaged a wall near the tub and created a hole, exposing pipes. That hole was covered with plastic.

' The bath tub had rust stains, Hass said. "The toilet always ran." The yellow tile also was dirty and deteriorated from years of use.

"I took the 'worst' photos I possibly could," said H a s s .

Homeowners entered the contest at Home Improvement shows conducted throughout metro Detroit in February and Mar-h.

Judges examined the entries last spring. (Judges included Frank Mathison. Mathison Supply: K'- r>i •• en ' i-»• i - ' • i • :»n > i vi-ni. i<nher t .>• > •»•;,

iiirft: Denise Rosenthal, public relations assistant; Rosalie Land, show manager for the BIA of South-eastern Michigan; Joe Fisher, of Elect Sales, a sales manager for Jason; Mary Klemic, editor of the Eccentric's At Home section; and Ken Abramczyk, editor of the Observer's At Home section.)

Frizzell, Roberts and Lefty's son, Rich, worked on the bathroom. They ripped out the vanity and the yellow wall tile. They replaced the old tub with an air-masseur massage bathtub by Jason. Other sup-pliers included cabinetry by Bertch, faucets by Harden, and an Ultra-Flush toilet by Gerber.

"We put in a new tub, new (wall) tile, a new vani-ty, new faucets," Frizzell said. A countertop sink by U.S. Marble was installed, along with new white tiles.

"We also had to fix the walls before we tiled,"

Frizzell enjoyed helping Hass. "When you help someone who needs it, it's nice," Frizzell said.

Hass expects to enjoy her new bathroom for a long time. "I love it," Kass saiu. Somebody was looking over me."

That contest will run through late March 2002.

Conversation blooms about flowering tree G A R D E N I N G C A L E N D A R

GARDEN SPOT

MARTY FIGLEY

If you are planning to plant a tree this fall, a small flower-ing tree may be "just what the doctor ordered" to spruce up the landscape.

Sometimes we may want to stretch the zone limits,a little and see what hap-

pens. For instance, we are gener-ally in zon^ 5, but a protected area could be zone 6.

Gloria and Merrill Dixon of Troy planted a t ree t h a t has become qui te a conversat ion piece, especially when it blooms as it did this year. It is a South-ern Mimosa, also called the mimosa of the Eastern States or Silk-tree. The botanical name is Alb izia julibrissin.

The couple brought the tree with them from Cumberland, Md., in 1986 when it was very small. Each fall the branches kept dying back to the trunk, but by 1995 it began to show steady growth when new "bumps" appeared and branches grew from them.

It has had "very few" blossoms up until this year, 15 years from the time they planted it. Gloria and Merrill attribute this to the fact that the summer was so hot and humid.

The f r a g r a n t , powder puff pink, pincushion f lowers are striking and appear in July and August. They look as though a puff of wind might blow them away. Gray-brown pods 5 to 7 inches long follow the flowers.

Care Patience is a virtue, and the

flowers are the reward. Gloria and Merrill did nothing special to enrich the soil when they planted the tree in the lawn. It is fertilized when the grass is fer-tilized, although for the last few years they have been giving it Muracid.

The tree is approximately 30 feet high with an umbrella-like shape.

The leaves are similar to sun-burst locust leaves and are a rich grass green, tropical looking with a form that resembles a fern. The new growth is lighter. It is interest ing to watch the leaves at night, as they are light sensitive and fold up then.

Michael Dirr, the tree expert, says this tree is cold tolerant to zone 6, and when the tempera-

We'll Pay You $400 Cash Trade-in For Your Old Furnace

• Plus, you get our 5-year parts AND labor warranty.

T h e r e ' s u s u a l l y N O CASH TRADE-INforoldersystems. Most old systems are so outdated or expen-sive to repair that they have little or no value. We hardly ever hear of companies anywhere in the United States offering cash for trade-ins, but since our local Technical Schools need several old systems to help train their s tudents for the Winter term -you can get $400 cash for your t rade- in—no matter how old!

We'll either hand you a crisp check for your old trade-in, or give you a fat discount when.you get your new one. It's your choice. But we must warn you, this offer will end when enough systems are traded in to help train the Winter students.

This is a double bonus FOR YOU — 1) The unusual cash trade-in value and 2) Our 5-year par t s AND labor warranty. But there's more...

In the bargain, you'll be getting a brand new heating system tha t is GUARANTEED to save you 25% in energy consumptions. (This aver-ages between $360 and $520).

The guarantee i s jus t this simple: "Get a new furnace from Climate Control Systems, installed by our highly trained technicians using our unique methods and skills. If, after a solid year of use, it doesn't save you at least 25% in energy consump-tion over your old heating system, we'll write you a check for the differ-ence." That 's it. You're guaranteed cash savings all year long.

Our other great benefit is our 5-year parts and labor warranty. This warranty is so complete tha t you CAN'T spend a cent in repairs for the next 5 years. We cover you with complete protection from repairs , so you can relax in total comfort—year af te r year—and not even th ink about repair bills.

But to take full advantage of this huge bonus offer, you must call be-fore we get all the trade-ins we need. Remember, there 's normally NO trade-in allowance on older furnaces, but for the next couple of weeks you can get up to. $'400 cash for yours.

So call Climate Control Systems today at (248) 486-9830 to set up your FREE, no-obligation survey. Call (248) 486-9330 before we get all the trade-ins we need!

t u re s are around -5 to -10 degrees Fahrenheit stem dieback is likely, which corresponds to what the Dixons experienced.

He also says this variety is susceptible to insect and disease problems, although the Dixons' t ree hasn ' t had any of those problems.

Dirr suggests the variety A. rosea "Ernest Wilson" because it is considerably more cold hardy than the typical species and tol-erates -15 degrees Fahrenheit.

Health I want to caution you to be

extremely careful about Lyme disease when you are outside this fall. I have three friends, one in New Jersey and two in Rochester Hills, who have the disease.

The best protection is to wear clothing that covers you well and to examine any places on your skin tha t look suspicious. The most noticeable symptoms are fatigue and also fever, headache, muscle stiffness and joint pain.

The only way to find out if you have the disease is by a blood test. Ask your doctor to perform the test if you have any symp-toms. Use a product labeled to resist the tick that carries Lyme disease.

Now to pets: Grow Info, a pub-lication of the Master Gardener Association of Wayne County, repor ts tha t if you use cocoa mulch, watch to see if your pet exhibits symptoms of restless-ness, panting, pacing or anxious behavior. It might be a reaction to theobromine, a central ner-

vous system and cardiovascular s t imulant , a compound in all parts of the cocoa plant.

The phone number for the ASPCA National Animal Poison Control Center is (888)4-ANI-HELP.

Chores Here are a few fall chores to do

now: Dig and. clip off the green tops

of summer bulbs such as dahlias, cannas, gladiolus and callas. Store bulbs in a cool, dry place for the winter.

Compost and composted manure can be added to the soil while it is still warm. As the soil expands and contracts, these, products are churned into the soil.

Remove fallen fruit from the ground to prevent overwintering of insects that could cause trou-ble next spring. Add the fruit to the compost pile.

Fallen leaves under rose bush-es may harbor insects and fun-gus over the winter if they aren't removed. Rake them up and add them to the compost.

Refill your bird feeders to invite birds into your garden. Set a few near a window so you can watch the antics all winter long.

Man pleased after fixing timer on washing machine APPLIANCE DOCTOR

A young man wi th a f a m i l y

approaches me and asked if I had a few minutes to spare so he could ta lk to me. His name is Chris, and he wan t s to ta lk to me about his washer.

C h r i s

arrived home one day to discover water all over the place. The tub inside the washer remained half full after the washer reached the end of the wash cycle. He set the

JOE GAGNON

timer into the spin cycle and the washer dumped the rest of the water out, then advanced to the off position. He t h e n set the timer to a wash cycle and set the load size for a small wash. The machine began to fill until the tub contained one-third of a load of water and then the agitator began to swish around.

All was going well unt i l he noticed that the water had not stopped flowing into the tub and he waited until it was about two inches from the top and then he shut off the timer. At this point the water stopped coming into the machine. He realized why the washer overflowed. He fig-ured that the pressure switch worked properly and the water valve was OK as well.

• He proceeded to take the timer out of the con-sole are and took it apart to find little pieces of lint inside the timer. One of the tiny contact points had a piece of lint jammed Inside, causing the points to weld shut.

He proceeded to take the timer out of the console area and took it apar t to find little pieces of lint inside the timer. One of the tiny contact points had a piece of lint jammed inside, causing the points to weld shut. He separat-ed the. points and cleaned them with a little emery board, then put them back together.

The washer works jus t fine

now. Chris saved himself over $100, which would have been the cost of a new timer. He did it himself and he was very proud in relating this story to me. His closing comments made me feel very worthwhile. "I read every-thing you wri te and l isten to many of your radio shows. From all of that, I've learned so much from you." I am pleased when

someone thanks me. On Oct. 11,1 will begin what I

call the home tour shows. I will broadcas t my weekend show from the Novi Expo Center, and I will be t he re for four days answering questions for hun-dreds of consumers. You will see many ads for this home improve-ment show announcing exact times.

I get such pleasure in talking with the readers of this column. I had a person tell me the other day that ABC Television did a story on the General Electric dishwasher recall, a topic I've written about before. (It's nice to know that television produc-ers may read this newspaper, too.)

The subject of major home

appliances may not fall into the category of exciting reading, but this newspaper decided six years ago to give it a try. I'll bet that very few people in the newspa-per business have tried it. This is a shame because this column is dedicated to informing and educating the consumer.

Appliances are expensive to buy and always costly to repair. Knowing the little secrets of the service industry, which you can gain by reading will definitely save you money down the road. Stay tuned.

Changing door locks is simple

I

A few weeks ago, my wife and I, like many

other par-ents , moved our kids back to college as they took res-idence into unfurnished, second-floor apa r tmen t s . It took my pickup truck, a trailer and a lot of mus-

cle to get them, and their fur-nishings, in.

That evening we returned to rest in our very quiet house. Life is good.

Since that Saturday, Dave's been home two weekends, then Aimee returned one weekend, plus dinner on a recent Sunday, and both are ta lk ing about future visits. This got me think-ing about a column on changing door locks....

H A R R Y J A C H Y M

OK, so I'm not going to change the locks on the kids, but if your locksets are worn, they need replacing. You may wish to replace them anyway, for better security.

How to change them For this project, we'll assume

all the needed holes are in the door. That means only a screw-driver should be needed, but a utility knife or chisel may be required to refit the faceplate or strike plate.

Removing the old lock is sim-ply a mat te r of removing two connecting screws found on the t humb- tu rn p la te . Once removed, the cyl inder and thumb- tu rn are pul led away from the door. Remove the two screws holding the faceplate in the edge of the door and slide the latch-bolt shaft from the door. Remove the strike plate from the dooijamb and you're ready to put the new one in. In some cases, the strike plate may not need to be changed.

Ins ta l la t ion is l ikely the reverse of how the old one came out, but follow the instructions tha t came with the new lock. The utility knife and chisel will make simple work of necessary modificat ions for the face or s t r iker plates. I learned this weekend that some doors with older deadbolts are drilled too small for new ones. In this case a rasp, file or hole saw (depending on door construction) may be needed to enlarge the hole.

What to look for Stay with a name brand lock.

Look for locks with hardened bolts and reinforced s t r ike plates. Reinforced strike plates may be a bit more difficult to install, but this extra work is well worth the increased securi-ty. Use 3-inch or 4-inch long screws to secure the strike plate. These will penetrate the wall stud. Also, the longer the bolt, the stronger the hold.

Budget Bathtub Liners Company offers solutions for tub troubles

When was the last time you did a fantastic job cleaning your bathroom, only to realize the tub still looked less than stellar?

If the finish on your bathtub is chipped, peeling, faded or permanently stained no amount of cleanser and scrubbing will do the job. The bathtub needs to be fixed.

Visit our 12,000 sq. ft. factory showroom iocated in Madison Hgts. where we sell over 6,000 bathtub liners and wall surround systems annually. We also sell a complete fine of Whirlpool, soaker tubs and hydrotherapy massage tubs.

Regfazing is an option, but only a temporary one. There's no guarantee the finish won't go bad again,and the reglazing process is difficult and involves many dangerous chemicals.

The bathtub could be replaced, but there is even more mess involved, not to mention the cost.

There is another solution, though,and Budget Bathtub Liners Co., with showrooms in Lincoln Park and Madison Heights, has the answer: a new bathtub liner or total complete system consisting of bathtub

Liner and Wall Surround system. One of the hottest trends in bathroom

remodeling, bathtub liners and wall systems fit over not only existing bathtubs, but also ceramic walls in your bathroom. That means less mess and less time between what your bathroom looks like now and a completely new appearance.

For a limited time only, bathtub liners are on sale from $389 Installed. Complete systems, which Include bathtub liner and wall surround, are on sale from $1295. That's about 50-75% less than the cost of replacing an old tub and ceramic tiles which average about 83,000 to $5,000 and more-

Budge Bathtub Liner is able to offer the low prices, according to Dean Hartley, because of the large volume of business It does. "We're the largest distributor of Acrylic Bathtub Liners and Wall Surround Systems in the country," Hartley said. I ' m proud of that."

When a homeowner places an order for a new liner, employees take 15 different, measurements and several photographs of the existing bathtub. The measurements

- Advetorial -

and photos are then sent to the company's factory, where a custom tiner is made using one of 750 molds in stock.

In addition, seven colors and faux marbles finished are available along with a complete line of Delta and Kohler fixtures.

All Bathtub Liners and Wall Surround Systems are made of DR/ABS Owens Corning High Impact Acryiic and carry a Lifetime Warranty. This is the same material football helmets, and bowling balls are made from and the liners are about three times the thickness of those found at home improvement stores and are guaranteed not to chip or peel and to retain their finish. In addition, installation, which can usually be done in one day, is guaranteed.

Budget Bathtub Liners Co. is at 25170 John R. Madison Heights and 3387 Fort St., Lincoln Park between Emmons and Champaign adjacent to Mickey Shorr. The showroom is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and 11:00 a.m.to 5:00 p.m. Sundays.

camera shops. You can also buy inexpensive mat cutters, and with a little practice you'll be cutting your own professional looking mats.

Simply measure equal borders around your already mounted photograph and carefully cut your mat. Make sure the blades are sharp and use fine sandpa-per or an emery board to elimi-nate any rough spots on the edges. • To produce a collage of pic-

tures, perhaps of the entire fami-ly, just cut as many "windows" out of the mat board as you'll need. Then tape each picture to the board from behind and back them with another piece of mat board. You're now ready to add a frame.

You've been framed Frames come in many styles,

colors and prices. For photogra-phy, simplicity is the best guide-line.

Plain metal frames don't draw attention away from the impact of the photograph, yet at the same time they lend a comple-mentary finishing touch to your picture. Metal frame kits are available in all photo, art supply and frame shops. Buy sections in

the lengths you need and your frame can be assembled easily in a matter of minutes.

Be sure to use glass, too. Glass not only protects your photo-graph , but also adds to the appearance of your f in ished work. Regular, single-strength glass works best. Non-glare glass reduces the "snap" of your photo and makes the colors look dull.

Other types of f r a m e s are available. Plain wood frames will enhance many photographs , while more modern Lucite frames will add a contemporary touch.

Most pictures look best when hung at eye level. Try a grouping over a large piece of furniture such as a sofa or buffet, or over a fireplace. Place a larger picture in the center, surrounded by a few smaller ones.

Hanging photographs in your home will not only smartly deco-rate your rooms, but living with them daily will encourage your photographic growth.

Read the Instructions Whenever we purchase a new appliance or piece of equipment, we should always carefully read the instructions or manual that accompanies it. It is a good idea to file this information away for future use, in case the item breaks or doesn't work properly. God has given us. the Bible, which has wonderful instructions for our life, However, unlike these instruction manuals, the Bible is not something that we should put away and read only when something in our lives is not working right. Just as we should keep a good relationship with repairman and mechanics who can help us when something breaks down, we should also maintain a good relationship with our Lord. We should be aware that we will always need our Heavenly Father's help, and remember that God's loving kindness is always there for His people. The Bible tells us that if we draw near to God, He will draw near to us, and if we seek the lord, He will answer us and deliver us from all of our fears.

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord* whose trust is the Lord. R.S.V. Jeremiah 17:7

Following a time of praise and worship music, special singing, and drama by True Colors Youth Ministries, Donald Nichols, spe-cial guest speaker, will encour-age and challenge teenagers to hold t h e m s e l v e s to a h i g h e r standard and live sexually pure lives outside of marriage.

At the conclusion of t he ser-vice, s t u d e n t s wil l h a v e an o p p o r t u n i t y to t a k e a vow of purity. Those who wish to partic-ipate will receive a token of puri-ty to remind them of their com-mitment.

"Don Nichols is a Chr i s t i an minister and doctor of psycholo-gy with a genuine love for young people , " sa id C h u c k L a P a r r , Praise Chapel director of youth ministries, "and his message is p r e s e n t e d in a r e a l down-to-earth fashion."

"Unfortunately, many young people receive their sex educa-t ion f r o m t h e med ia , " sa id L a P a r r . "In 1991 the average h igh school s t u d e n t h a d t h e opportunity to watch 14,000 acts of sexual intercourse or innuen-do on p r i m e t i m e t e l ev i s ion .

That's one every 6.3 minutes of prime time television. In 2001 that number will nearly double."

"God created sex to be used and enjoyed. But he created it to be used within marriage as an expression of total commitment and unity. Out of control it can destroy reputations and even life itself," said LaParr. "This is why we as pastors, parents, teachers and concerned Christ ians must do everything in our power to educa t e our young people on w h a t the Bible t eaches about p u r i t y . T h a t is why i t is ou r heartfel t desire to reach young people wi th t he sexual pur i ty message. Purity 2001 is dedicat-ed ' to t h e m e s s a g e of s exua l abs t i nence be fo re m a r r i a g e , " said LaParr.

give her a ticket are you?" "Yes, ma'am. I am." "Ooooh..." "Mom, keep quiet," I hissed. The officer assured me t h a t

tha t my mother wasn't being a p rob lem. J u d g i n g f r o m h i s appraising look, I was convinced he had me pegged as a mean d a u g h t e r bul ly ing a he lp l e s s mother jus t out of the hospital. He d i s a p p e a r e d in to h i s car , apparently checking my record for speeding tickets and parental

abuse cha rges . F ive m i n u t e s later he was back.

"I'm giving you a ticket for five miles over," he said.

"F ine , w r i t e i t *up for any amount."

I wanted to get out of there be fo re my m o t h e r ad- l ibbed another line. The cop handed me my t i cke t and w i n k e d at my mother. She took this as a sign to continue.

"And officer, did you know her husband ju s t re t i red from the *

FBI?" That was it. I knew she'd work

my husband's former profession in there somehow. I peeled off and rolled the windows up before she could utter another word.

"Mom, did you have to be so d r a m a t i c ? " I a s k e d as she resumed eating her cone.

"Well, he gave you a l e s s expensive ticket, didn't he?" she retorted.

I guess he did. Thanks, mom. Another great performance.

Scoring attack Andy Power, a Plymouth Salem

graduate now at Siena Heights, net-ted three goals for the Saints in lead-ing them to a 4-1 win at Indiana Tech Saturday.

Power scored once in the first half and added two more in the second as Siena Heights improved to 5-2 over-all. Sam Skeels assisted on all three of his goals.

Power also picked upan assist on the Saints' fourth goal, scored by Tim Beehler in the first half.

Player of the week Brian Wozniak, a junior at the Uni-

versity of Buffalo and a Plymouth Salem graduate, earned player of the week honors for the school after post-ing back-to-back shutout victories last week.

On Sunday, Buffalo battled back from a 1-0 deficit against University of Detroit Mercy with a second-half goal by Patrick Beckley, then with-stood two overtimes to earn a 1-1 tie in Buffalo. UDM's only goal was scored by Eric Scott (from Livonia Churchill).

The Bulls improved to 3-0-1 for the season. Wozniak has allowed just two goals this season, giving him a 0.46 goals-against average.

Spartans sink Chiefs

B Y BRAD EMONS SPORTS WRITER bemons@oe.homecomm.net

The Livonia Stevenson boys soccer team raised some eyebrows on Satur-day with a 1-0 win over No. 2 ranked Rochester Adams.

But Wednesday's 2-0 dismantling of visiting Plymouth Canton, previously unbeaten and the state's No. 1 rated team in Division I, was like a quarter-back sack from the blind side.

"It's still early in the year and I'll remain cautious about what I say until I learn more about this team," said Stevenson coach Lars Richters, whose team was rated No. 3 going in. "It's great to be ranked, but it really doesn't matter in September. What matters most is what happens in November."

The speedy Spartans came out with a f lurry and kept up their relentless pressure throughout the entire 80 min-utes, giving Canton little chance to catch its collective breath.

Not even a 25-minute delay during half t ime because of lightning could slow down the Spartans' furious pace.

Stevenson struck early as senior midfielder Ben White ripped a rocket of a shot from 20 yards out, eluding a helpless Canton goalkeeper Greg Musser. The goal came just 2 minutes and 44 seconds into the match.

"They kicked our tails," said Canton coach Don Smith, whose 8-1 Chiefs have knocked off several top 10 teams already this season. "That helped when they were able to stick in that first goal in the first minute or so. It boosted their morale.

"The first half we just watched. The second half I thought we got back to playing good soccer."

Canton, however, had nothing to show for its renewed effort during the final 40 minutes of action.

With wingers Nik Djokic and J.T. Katikos making life uneasy for the Canton defense, the Spartans contin-ued to carry the play and created sev-eral golden chances, only to be repelled by either Musser or simply an errant attempt from close-range.

Djokic, however, all but sealed Canton's fate when he scored with 27:35 left in the match on a shori cross from Katikos, the latter whom also assisted on the first goal.

"When we get all three of those guys — J.T., Nik and T.J. Djokic — are all playing well, it helps our team and makes us more unpredictable," Richters said. "But the reason we're doiilfi so well right now is not so much the speed, but what W!-Ye -'} ' • ' i m : i ? ;r:i >. ri hi'.-.1' !; 1 *j--« -f» ixig now a coupie oi \ e a r s logelner .

SC coach felled by cancer BY C.J. RISAK SPORTS WRITER cjri8ak@oe.homecomm.net

Other than their love of soccer, Joe Kurta and Dominic Scicluna don't seem to have that much in common, really. Kurta was born and raised in Hungary; Scicluna is home-grown, a former standout at Redford Catholic Central.

One grew up somewhat of a rebel, combative; the other was more disci-plined.

To Van Dimitriou, it didn't matter. Which is why both of them, Dimitriou's

assistant coaches at Schoolcraft Col-lege the last couple of years, spoke of their former boss the same way: "He was like a father to me."

Dimitriou, SC's coach for 17 sea-sons, passed! away Wednesday after a long bout with colon cancer. He was 58.

stay on schedule, defeat Rocks BY C . J . R I S A K SPORTS EDITOR cjrisak@oe.homecomm.net

So far, Plymouth Canton's golf team is right on line.

The Chiefs' coach, Tom Alles, had established a course for his team prior to the season. With seven of their 11 Western Lakes " Activities Association meets to be' played at Hilltop, Canton's home' course, Alles knew the Chiefs had a chance to be in the hunt for the WLAA championship going into' the league tournament Oct. 9.

On Monday, Canton took a big step in the correct direction when ' it beat cross-creek rival Plymouth Salem, 157-165, in a meet at Hill-top. The victory boosted the" Chiefs ' WLAA record to 3-0; Salem fell to 2-2.

"So far," said Alles. "That's the plan — to win at home. Right now, I couldn't rea l ly ask ' fo r -more.

"It's nice to see us have a couple of players break 40. If we can keep the others around 40, we'll be in every meet."

The minus-40 scorers were the difference against Salem. Ryan McKendry played a steady, near-perfect round with an even-par 35 to earn medalist honors. McK-endry had one birdie and one bogey for the day.

Next best scorers for the Chiefs were Scott Oliver with a 38, fol-lowed by Michael Baracy at 41 and Ryan Van Loozen at 43. Andrew Wagner added a 46.

The Rocks were paced by Jon Gordon with a 38. Bobby Jones had a 41, Dave Wallen a 42 and Andy Thackaberry a 44. The non-counting scores came from Ryan Williams and Aaron Cheesman^ each with a 46. •;

"We're right on schedule here," said Alles. "There's a lot of compe-tition on the team — that helps k e e p everyone sha rp . "

Which in exactiy what (.'anton has been this season: sharp.

juggling their lineup BY C . J . R I S A K SPORTS EDITOR cjrisak@oe.homecomm.net

There hasn't been a whole heckuva lot to cheer about for Plymouth Canton's girls tennis team thus far this sea-son, but Monday there was. The Chiefs hosted Western Lakes Activities Association rival Walled Lake Central, and they got their first win this season by a 5-3 score.

That made Canton 1-2 in WLAA dual meets.

This will be a year of ad jus tment for the Chiefs and, according to coach Barb Lehmann (formerly Hanosh — she was married last sum-mer), next season could be much the same.

"We lost 10 seniors from las t season's team," Lehmann said from a squad that placed third in the con-ference and was 7-3 in duals, "and we "have eight seniors

this year." That's a lot to lose. So how

many of those players lost from the 2000 team were piv-otal?

"Every one of them," Lehmann replied. "They filled my varsity. They all played for four years. All of them made an impact."

One player who did return is senior Katie Maloni, who played No. 4 singles last sea-son but has been elevated to No. 1 this year. Against Cen-tral, she was the only Chief to record a win in singles play, beat ing Jessica Godziebiewski 6-3, 6-4.

The Vikings swept the rest of the singles flights. At No. 2, Laura Slusher bested Can-ton's Beth Treadwell 6-4, 6-4;

For Plymouth Salem's girls tennis team, Monday's match may have been a turn-ing point.

The Rocks entered the sea-son with high hopes — well, sort of. "Our original goal was, 'Can we be in the top three?"' coach Tom Kimball said. "Now tha t we keep making adjustments, we're thinking maybe the top two."

Salem has a right to have its confidence soaring. On Monday, the Rocks visited long-time Western Lakes Activities Association power-house Northvil le , a t e am that — together with North Farmington — had ru led girls tennis in the confer-ence. Indeed, those two teams f inished one-two (North first, Northville sec-ond) last year.

"We're used to going up there and getting beat 8-0 every year," said Kimball, noting last season they man-aged to win one flight in-los-ing, 7-1. 1

That scenario of domina-; tion was not repeated this year. Collecting wins in three of four singles flights, Salem managed to t ie the Musi-tangs, 4-4.

Tha t made the Rocks' WLAA record 2-0-1; they are 2-1-1 (they lost to Brighton, 5-3) overall . Northvi l le , which also tied North 4-4, is 1-0-2 in the conference.

"We're on a pre t ty good high," noted Kimball. "We went into their house and took it to them."

A few odd items to take

Bcare of before we start the show:

• Chatted the other day with a fr iend of mine's wife , who hap -pens to teach a t D e t r o i t U r b a n L u t h e r a n . Seems she took u m b r a g e t h e o t h e r week w h e n we

r e f e r r e d to t h e foo tba l l -on ly merger be tween Dearborn St . Alphonsus and Urban Lutheran as St. Als.

"Urban Lu the ran never gets any publicity as it is," said the woman, who will remain name-less so she doesn't feel I'm pick-ing on her too much. "We would like a little recognition."

From now on, we use our back-up plan. We'll refer to the team by its acronym - DUL - which we hope, a t 1-3, doesn't reflect the team's offensive strategy.

• F rom now on, we ' re no t going to p ick any H a r r i s o n games. We're going to make up opponents for them like NFL or college teams. Picking Harrison is like having Tiger Woods in a f a n t a s y golf pool: You know everyone is going to take him, so what do you gain? This week's opponent? Read on.

• Will the Brother Rice fans behave t hemse lves th i s week against Catholic Central, or will they revert to the childish form that got their team dropped from t h e a n n u a l Boys' Bowl a few years ago?

• A couple of weeks ago, Red-ford Union coach Miles Toma-saitis relayed a message from his wife, J u d y , who in fo rmed me that picking RU to lose to Dear-born Heights Robichaud proved to be a l i t t le off the mark . Or s o m e t h i n g a long t h o s e l ines . (OK, it was like, "Hey dummy ..." and then she got really mean. I cried.)

So the next week, I picked RU to beat Thurs ton . Natural ly , I was wrong again and Thurston beat RU.

For the record, Maria SnelL wife of Thurston head coach Bob Snell, didn't hold a grudge for my picking RU.

B A year ago, I thought these picks were so easy a child could do them. After a 12-3 showing last week, it's apparent a child can do them, but I can't. So once again, I trudged out to a football game and asked the students in the stands to make the picks.

Will the students at the West-l a n d J o h n G l e n n - P l y m o u t h Salem game fare better than the Four Stooges? It will be tough, but my money's on the kids.

For the record, Brad Emons, the scourge of Livonia and West-land, went 15-0 and 51-9 overall. Dan O'Meara, who really pu ts the "ing" in Farmington, went 14-1 and 48-12, I'm 12-3 and 46-14 overall and C.J. Risak, the b e s t t h i n g to h a p p e n to Ply-mouth and Canton since free flu shots, went 12-3 and 45-15. As for the kids, we'll let you know how they do next week. ,

A good start Madonna women stop Cornerstone in WHAC opener

week. just two goals. Patrick Griffin, a goals, the second narrowing the H g f e r o sot>homore f rom Redfo rd e a o to 6-5 w i t h 5:09 to Dlav

^Madonna Un ive r s i t y ' s w&men's soccer team opened its Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Con-ference season with a dominat-ing offensive performance tha t r e s u l t e d in j u s t one goal — which, fortunately, was enough tcr carry the Lady Crusaders to a 1-0 win over Cornerstone Tues-day at Farmington 's Founders Park.

-The game ' s only goal came with jus t 8:07 left to play. Susan-nah Bryant scored it, finishing a play s t a r t e d by Megan Thiry. Thiry dribbled the ball into the right corner and, from the end line, threaded a pass to Becky Gjiibord. Guibord sent the ball to Bryan t in f ront for t he game-wifining goal.

The win boosted Madonna to 3^2 overall, 1-0 in the WHAC. Cornerstone is 3-4 overall, 0-1 in the conference.

T h e Crusaders took a whop-pfrig 33 shots on goal compared tcrjust two by the Golden Eagles. Jenn i fe r Barker (from Livonia Stevenson) made just one save in earning the shutout for Madon-nja; L a u r a H a m l y n made 14 saves for Cornerstone.

The pre-season lead ing into Madonna 's WHAC opener had f e a t u r e d a b i t of e v e r y t h i n g : wins, losses, cancellations.

The Lady Crusaders went into Tuesday's opener on a high note, beating Trinty International 3-0 S a t u r d a y in Mar ion , Ind. All three Crusader goals came in the second ha l f , and S a r a h Pack (Canton/Westland John Glenn) had a hand in all of them.

Kelly Delaney scored the first six minutes into the second half, w i th Pack a s s i s t i n g . Pack accounted for the next two goals, scored a t 61 m i n u t e s and 68 minu tes , wi th Emi ly Jackson (Farmington Harrison) assisting on both.

Barker stopped all four shots she faced in goal to e a r n t he shutout for Madonna. Meghan Cox faced 15 shots in goal for Trinty.

The Crusaders' match last Fri-day a t Indiana Wesleyan Uni-ve r s i t y was cancel led for t he nat ional day of p raye r for the terrorist a t tacks earl ier in the

week.

en te red the season wi th h igh hopes, but those hopes took a m a j o r blow w h e n Sa lva to re Piraine, who became the school's a l l - t i m e goa l - scor ing l e ade r w h e n he r e g i s t e r e d t h e only marker in a 1-0 win over Sagi-naw Valley State in the season-opener Aug. 28, was lost for the season wi th a torn quadriceps muscle.

The Fighting Crusaders have struggled ever since, losing five of their last six matches, includ-ing a pair last weekend.

On Saturday, Florida South-e r n scored t h r e e second-hal f goals to pound out a 4-1 win over Madonna in Lakeland, Fla. On Sunday , t he C r u s a d e r s found themselves on the losing end of a shootout with Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., falling 6-5.

In the loss to Rollins, at least Madonna displayed some offen-sive prowess , someth ing t h a t had been missing in three of its previous four matches, a stretch in which the Crusaders scored

just two goals. Patrick Griffin, a sophomore f rom Redfo rd Catholic Central and Plymouth, accounted for th ree Madonna goals, two of them coming in the final 8:03.

Rollins improved to 5-1 wi th the win; Madonna fell to 2-5.

The match was tied at 3-all at the half, Rollins' Adrian Nunez scoring first at 4:21 before Grif-fin knotted it at 6:55 following a corner kick by Nick Szczechows-ki (Plymouth Salem).

Nunez's second goal pu t t he Ta r s back on top a t t h e 9:52 mark, but Madonna re-tied it on a goal by Szczechowski at 17:58. Martin Heckmann regained the lead for Rollins at 29:14; Mat t Koontz (Livonia Stevenson) tied it again for the Crusaders with 4:10 left in the half, with Griffin assisting.

Rollins put the victory on ice, or so it seemed, with three goals in a 7:23 span of the second half, Clayton Chesarek (who had two assists in the first half) getting two of them and Pet^r Hitchen collecting the third.

Rolling, rolling, rolling. That ' s j u s t what Schoolcraft

Rice goalie Mike Timlin regis-t e red his s ixth s h u t o u t of t he season and the r e su l t mere jy exaggerated those telling scoring s t a t i s t i c s . The W a r r i o r s h a v e now allowed four goals in 11 games and CC has now gone six games with only one goal.

"We've only given up four goaJ$ a l l season - and two of thos# have been on penalty kicks," said Brother Rice coach J a y Louis*-Prescot t . "We've been playing tough. - I

"Each team played with inten-sity and I thought CC was much improved over last year. It was a good game , " he sa id . "They s t ruggled offensively and t h a i was obvious in t he number "of sho t s . They p layed h a r d , b u t they couldn't create any offense^",

CC is winless in six games (()-5-1) and coach Dana Orsucci i s conce rned t h a t t h e l ack of offense will take a mental toll.

"I t hough t we c rea ted some decent chances, but we're j u s t not confident r ight now," said Orsucci. "I t hough t we moved the ball well, but we can't find tha t final pass tha t would finish off a play. We're just not clicking on that last third of the field.

"The thing is we played har4» It was a typical CC/Rice game. ijt was physical. I t was hard, but fair play," he said. "Brother Rice is a good team and plays as hard, as anybody we'll play all y e a r n thought we did well in the se£? ond half . But we j u s t have to work on finishing because that'$ j u s t f r u s t r a t i n g u s to no end right now."

Brother Rice opened the scor-ing midway t h r o u g h the f i r s t half on a highly-skilled goal ! # f o r w a r d M a r k Djurovslgb Defender Just in Iavarone booted a high ball that bounced in front of Djurovski. Instead of letting it hi t the ground, Djurovski booted it r ight out of the air and in.t'6 the far corner of the net pas t 'S surprised CC goalie Ryan Koet.

Fif teen minutes later , Devin Siler made it 2-0 as he finished off a corner k ick by B r e n d a n R o s e n b e r g h w i t h a goal t h a t stayed on the ground and rolled into the right corner, of the net. ,

Rice had a second-half g o $ disallowed by an offsides call, j

" "Thus far, it's been a season requiring more than a bit of jug-gling for Lehmann. P u s h i n g Maloni from No. 4 to No. 1 in singles wasn't the end of it; No. 2 Treadwell (a sophomore) and No. 3 Franck (a senior) were Can-ton's No. 1 doubles team last season. Those three and Delaney (a senior), at No. 2 doubles, are the only returning starters from M year ago.

"That's it," said Lehmann. , Although her lineup is some-

what set, it isn't a cer tainty. ¥he re could still be some changes.

'"It's still 'Time will tell' time," she said. "So far, everyone's had a really good match and a really tough one. - "I may (make changes). Right now, I'm pretty pleased with the way they're playing."

Canton, which lost to Livonia Churchi l l and Walled Lake Western in WLAA duals before beat ing Central , has a tough slate awaiting it — including a meet with Northville Friday.

"Northville and North Farm-ington are r ight the re at the top," said Lehmann when asked who the league favorites were. "There are a couple of others who have some really good girls, that have made some improve-ment."

Figur ing in the group jus t behind North and Northville are Plymouth Salem, Livonia Churchill and Livonia Steven-son. Canton should be in the group just behind those three.

How far they move up depends on how fast the Chiefs improve. At present , Lehmann isn't as concerned with the won/loss record.

"I want them to stay focused," she said. "Don't necessarily keep your eye on the winning portion of it — it's the way you play.

"That's what you want to con-centrate on. Play your best."

The theory is, do your best and good things will happen. How many good things happen for Canton is problematical.

NOTE: The Canton Tournament, scheduled for last Saturday, was can-celled.

"Several teams pulled out," said Canton coach Barb Lehmann. There weren't enough remaining to stage it.

At present, there are no plans to reschedule it..

Sventickas lifts Ladywood past Marian BY BEAD EMONS SPORTS WRITER b e m o n s @ o e . h o m e c o m m . n e t

In an early fall classic, Ruth Sventickas came up huge Tues-day in host Livonia Ladywood's 50-46 girls basketball victory over Birmingham Marian.

The 6-foot junior forward had a double-double — 21 points and 11 rebounds — to propel the Blazers in ithe Catholic League Central Division opener for both schools.

Sventickas, a s tar ter a year ago as a sophomore, provided a steady shooting hand. She was nine 'of 14 from the field and three of four from the free throw line.

Dur ing the ofr-season, Sventickas worked with a shoot-ing coach.

"It's confidence, I guess," she said . "You can ' t be a f ra id to shoot it and when it leaves your hand you feel you're not going to miss."

Ladywood coach Andrea Gors-ki has also noticed a difference from last season.

"Ruth is looking for her shot, it's all a matter of confidence," said Gorski, whose t e am improved to 5-2 overall. "She stepped up for us again. She's a versatile player and her range has increased."

Mar ian , which fal ls to 4-2 overall , was, wi thout leading scorer Kate Solner. The senior guard was out with a bruised kidney suf fered in the game against Madison Heights Bishop

'-Foley. "That hurt us a lot because she

(Solner) is not only averaging over 20 points, but she also does a lot for us defensively," Marian coach Mary Ciccerone said. "She really does everything for us."

Ladywood broke a 46-all dead-lock when Jana Beumel, who fin-ished with 11 points, scored a rebound basket af ter putback misses inside by teammates Liz Obrecht (10 rebounds) and Nikki Watts with 56 seconds left.

Marian then turned the ball over with 46 seconds to go, but Ladywood repaid the favor 12 seconds later.

The Mustangs tried to tie it with just 15.6 seconds remaining and couldn't convert. A scramble on the floor for the loose rebound resulted in a jump ball posses-sion with the arrow pointing Ladywood's way.

Ladywood guard Amber Willoughby was immediately fouled on the inbound pass and calmly converted both f ree throws to put the game away.

"We played hard and came together at the right time," said Sventickas, who has averaged 18 points in her last three outings. "Mar ian plays an awesome

Dimitriou D1

Soccer -D1

game. They have hard defenders. You've got to box out because they were in there battling as much as we were."

Rebounding played a factor in Ladywood's victory. The Blazers were also able to withstand the 6-2 Obrecht's early foul trouble, which sent her to the bench in the second period.

"You j u s t have to work with what you have , keep going and fight f o r t h e win ," Sventickas said. "We j u s t had to keep our h e a d s i n t h e game and stay focused."

M a r i a n l ed 15-13 af ter one quarter t h a n k s to senior guard's Kennice Ha l lo ran ' s long-range t h r e e - p o i n t e r a t the buzzer. Ladywood then pulled ahead by one at. h a l f t i m e by one, 28-27, and i t w a s all even after three quarters, 38-38.

Halloran, who hi t two big triples in the fourth quarter, fin-ished with 14 points. Her free throw with with 1:53 to play tied the game at 46.

But the Mustangs came up empty down the stretch, turning it over twice and failing to con-vert on two shots.

Although junior forward Rachel Jarnigan helped pick up the slack with 10 points, Seiner's absence was never more evident than in. the fourth quarter when

Ladywood held a 12-8 scoring edge.

"We made so many m e n t a l mistakes," Ciccerone said. "And how many t imes did we give them extra shots? We didn't do a good job of boxing out and I was disappointed with the offensive execution. That's what bothers me."

Ladywood employed a zone defense following Obrecht's foul trouble.

"We went zone a few posses-

sions because Marian was too comfortable driving to the bas-ket," Gorski said. "But they have four people Who can knock shots down from the perimeter. %

"The f i r s t t h r e e q u a r t e r s £ don't know what happened, but in the four th q u a r t e r we goj offensive and d e f e n s i v | rebounds . Tha t ' s wha t wins games for us. We hit the boards ha rd and gave them ju s t on'| shot . We didn ' t give them a | many chances." j.

coach, until 1984, when Christoff res igned and Dimitr iou took command.

"He had a way of communicat-ing with the kids, and he had a real knowledge of the game," said J o h n Gelmisi, who was Dimitriou's assistant from 1984-89 and his iriend for more than 40 years.

Visitation is scheduled from 5-9 p.m. today and noon-9 p.m. Friday at Harry J. Will Funeral Home, located on Six Mile east of Newburgh. Service will be at 10 a.m. S a t u r d a y at Holy Cross / - * i r i . - n / r . - j j i - t - i i u u u i v j j . , w v a b c u un u u u u i s u w v between 10 and 11 Mile.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Schoolcraft Foundation in care of the Van Dimitriou Memorial Scholarship Fund.

"We respect t h a t (Canton) team a lot and I'm sure we'll be seeing them again," he said. "I just hope this is not the defining moment for these guys. We have to keep it in perspective and just say it's a positive step and we're going in the right direction."

Note: Canton's gatifie, scheduled for last Monday against Walled Lake Cen-tral, was cancelled after a mix-up in starting time.

Salem 2, Northville 2: Trailing 2-0 early in the second half, Ply-mouth Salem battled back to tie host Northville Monday.

Kevin Savitskie's goal midway through the second half made it 2-1; Brian Poperiey converted a penalty kick, called when Shane Smith was pulled down in the box, to tie it with lOminutes left.

Salem is 4-5-2; Northville is 7-1-1.

In a recent case, the court of appeals found that the agreement didn't provide that the commission was earned by simply producing a ready, willing and able buyer - a sale had to take place.

The court also looked at another clause in the agreement which provid-ed that the broker was entitled to a commission because the owner wrong-fully prevented him from earning it.

The default provision of the listing agreement provided that if the sale isn't consummated because the sell-er's inability, failure or refusal to per-form, then the full commission would be due and payable upon such occur-rence.

However, the broker didn't present any facts with regard to the seller's interference with the sale. It would depend on the specific terms of your listing agreement. Have an experi-enced real estate attorney review your agreement.

Looking good: Attractive landscaping adds appeal to a home, whether or not it's listed for sale. But nice landscaping is especially important if you want to get top dollar when you sell your home.

Neat exterior is a silent recommendation

b y D o u g f u n k e S ta f f w r i t e r dfunke@oe.homecomm.net

Realtors who know their business know that sellers get just one chance to make a first impression. And landscap-ing is a big pa r t of t h a t make- i t or break-it initial look.

"As soon as they drive up, they make observations and come to conclusions," Carol LaPerriere, a Realtor with Cen-tury 21 Hartford in Farmington, said of prospective buyers.

"Froir. a reo.] tbc-iirst thing people ar t going to notice i» the outdoors, how clean it looks," said Tony Konja, president of Artistic Out-door Services in Farmington Hills. "Is it colorful? Is it well-manicured?"

Bryan Wolf, a f f i l i a t e d w i t h Real Estate One in West Bloomfield, elabo-rates.

No like, no look "Sometimes, if people don't like the

l a n d s c a p i n g or e leva t ion (ex te r io r design of home), they don't even want to go in," he said. "Even though the inside may be nice."

Wolf relates a story of an expired list-ing he acquired years ago.

"The landscaping didn't look appeal-

ing at all. It was overgrown. He (the homeowner) ripped out 90 percent of the old landscaping and put all new in. He spent about $800. He put a new basketball backboard and rim on the garage.

"It really looked nice, a big differ-ence," Wolf said. "It sold in about 45

Sherri Petro, a Realtor with Remeri-ca Country Place in Canton, said the owner who acquired the house next door to hers on a repossession had big trouble selling in turn.

"The landscaping is terrible," Petro said. "The previous owner didn't take care of t h e g ras s , and it became a b u n c h of weeds . They had a h a r d time."

Ron Krueger knows the value of a well-kept property. He's chairman of the Metro Detroit Landscape Associa-tion and general manager of Mark J. Baldwin and Associates in Plymouth.

"The more inviting you can make a home look so it doesn't look like there's going to be a lot of work to do, the bet-ter off for the seller," Krueger said. "A lot of people (buyers) aren't going to like it if shrubs are hiding windows or interfering with walkways."

may not recoup all of the cost, but the home probably will sell quicker, he said.

Do it now There's still time this season to give

natural materials around the house a helping hand, the experts say.

Grass seed can be so...yn into early October. A fresh layer of mulch can be applied to flower beds or the existing mulch turned over. Larger, unmanage-able shrubs can be replaced with small-er varietiee. Mums, a colorful plant, will reappear every year.

"The outside reflects the inside," Wolf said. "If landscaping isn't good ... nine times out of 10 the inside isn't looking good either."

Shirley Wall, a Realtor with Red Car-pet Keim Carter Reid in Clarkston, can verify that . She's been active in the business 23 years.

"I've had a seller whose yard was lit-tered with toys, dog dishes, jus t stuff," Wall sa id . "Dogs h a d p r e t t y much ruined the grass.

"It was situated on a hill overlooking a lake, a beaut i ful view. But people were totally turned off. The inside was-n't so good, either."

P l e a s e see LANDSCAPING, E3

A home appraisal is an important part of almost every mortgage refinance or financed' home purchase.

Lenders place huge importance on appraisals.

Your home's appraisal should be as important to you as it is to your lender, but for different reasons.

Bigger is not always better with home appraisals. Borrowers

often try to eke out higher appraised values for their homes. Some simply have an emotional need to have a more valuable home, Others have a deep-seated drive to ^ivoid private mortgage insurance by hitting that magical 20-percent equity l^vel.

Pushing for an inflated valuation on your property can have its risks. The most negative situation would probably be when financially burdened borrow-ers have restructured their consumer debt with a "cash-oiit" refinance, then subsequently decidfe to sell their home. If their refinance appraisal was too high for their neighborhood, the bor-rowers (now sellers) might have to pay to sell their home because they bor-rowed too much relative to their home's true value.

In a growing market, it is difficult to comprehend that somebody could lose money in real estate, btit as with other investments, unscrupulous borrowers can also get leveraged out. If you live in a neighborhood that is n6t appreciating quickly, the problem can compound fur-ther. One of my clients waS literally banking on being able to trike cash out of his home to relieve debt, but his debt has grown faster than his home's value.

If the economy does slip into a reces-sion, it is possible that home values may decline. In fact, some lenders are already re-evaiuating their guidelines with respect to how much cash you can take out of your home in that instance. Cash-out refinances are an excellent idea in certain situations. Just double-check the bases of your decisions to make sure you don't get burned down the road.

Asking for more with your appraisal may very well leave you with less.

Wall has experienced the flip side, too, when representing buyers.

"We can usually get a listing off the com-puter and it can appear nice with a picture. When they see tha t the actual house, the property, is even pret t ier . They're real ly impressed," she said.

Wall's conclusion on landscaping - "It does-n't have to be elaborate. It has to be neat. Grass has to be cut, flowers planted here and there.

Sound advice Here some other steps sellers can take:

M If you plan to put your house on the marke t du r ing the win te r mon ths when foliage is dormant or covered by snow, take some pictures now during the height of color season.

• An outdoor hanging flower basket or flower pot on the porch are inexpensive ways to add color to a small, confined space.

• Pull weeds from flower beds, grass and especially cracks between sidewalk slabs.

• Edged lawns not only look good but , a f te r long periods of neglect, will actually "expand" sidewalks and driveways.

• Fallen leaves, papers, twigs and other debris should be picked up' on a regular basis.

• The kids' chalk drawings on sidewalks and driveways may seem cute to you, but they're not always inspiring to prospective buyers.

• Torn sc reens , b roken windows and cracked concrete, while not natural materi-als, are par t of the landscape and impact curb appeal.

My name is Sierra and my story is a sad one! You see, I'm a mature Domestic Shorthair female who was given to my owner by her friend. Things were fine for awhile but then I had a litter. All of my babies found homes and then my owner decided it was time to get rid of me! Now that I've been turned over to shelter care, Fm really hoping to find a good home soon! I have a black and white coat that is offset with my sea greeh eyes. In addition, I have a great personality that I'm sure youll grow to love. Even better, you won't have to worry about me having any more kitties since I'm going to be spayed!

CA Report 2002

By Anne Fracassa Avanti News Features

avanti1054@aol. com

Ford Motor Co. produced a winner when it introduced the Explorer almost a dozen years ago in 1990. Back then, we were in the infancy stages of what has become a revolutionary wmmmmmmmmmmmmm change in how

we perceive, regard and use sport utility vehicles.

It start-ed a monumen-tal change from the stoic mini-van in every driveway and every school

drop-off point to the staple sport utility vehicle taking its place in society.

For 2002, Ford produced a winner again in the revamped and redesigned Explorer. I drove a pre-production model earlier this year and didn't find a flaw. This production version was even more impressive.

First of all, it's slightly wider, but retains its overall length and height. The doors open wider and there's a lower step-in height. The overall ride and handling is superb.

And although I like the added versatility of having seven-passenger seating, it's really a pain to get anyone back there - including small children.

ANNE FRACASSA

The Explorer does have a 40/20/40 second-row seat, which allows easier access to the third row, but a heavy adult or senior would still have a hard time, I think.

My family wouldn't need that versatility on a regular basis, so I would probably be one of the few to hide that third row of seats and enjoy the added cargo space. And, that, too, is easy to accomplish. The seat completely disappears when folded down with a quick flick of the wrist. Simple. Quick.

Convenience features on the Explorer will help it continue its run as the "best-selling SUV in the world." Many of my col-leagues argue that much of Ford's line-up is too simple, too out-of-date and not very tach-laden.

Sorry, but that's exactly what I like about it.

I don't really think you should have to open the owner's manual to operate anything on a vehicle. It should be easy, self-explanatory and simple to oper-ate. I longed for many years for the advent of shift-on-the-fly because I didn't want to get a headache trying to figure out how to lock hubs and how much 25 feet to back up the vehicle really was. Gee. Was that 24 or 26 feet? Hmmm.

Before I forget to mention it, I love the new aggressive, bold, fearless front treatment of the Explorer. Its wider stance is immediately noticed. Even when it pulls away from you, it's got a cleaner rear and much more defined Ford signature.

For 2002, Ford produced a winner again in the revamped and redesigned Explorer.

Heating and cooling of the Explorer would be a much more daunting task if not for the ceil-ing-mounted controls for rear-seated passengers. Everyone get comfy, just how they want it.

Ford press materials back up this claim, but as soon as you get inside the Explorer, you'll notice it's even larger and has more room. The seats are far-ther apart. The second row seats enjoy a flatter floor and the third-row passengers have a completely flat floor.

If you're like my family, you do a lot of eating and drinking in your vehicle. Explorer has two additional cup and juice holders than the previous model - eight in all - and of those eight, two holders in the front doors can accommodate water bottles.

(Another pet peeve of mine: Most vehicles don't have doors with holders. Ford gets high marks for doing this on the Explorer.)

Do you like to store lots of stuff in your vehicle? Stuff like jumper cables to help a fellow motorist in need, a roll of duct tape that can seal anything for a quick fix or a box of Kleenex for an inevitable runny nose that always crops up on a long drive?

No problem. Front doors have huge map pockets - enough to hold a three-ring binder stuffed with hockey cards.

There are two under-floor cargo areas and another under-floor bin under the third-row seat. All are removable, too.

Another convenience: The

load height in the rear cargo area is exactly the same as the average shopping cart. What does that mean? Well, you'll have an easier time loading everything from groceries to hot water heaters in the rear.

Strong on power, the Explorer offers a 4.6 liter single-overhead-cam V8 that provides 240 horsepower with low-end and mid-range torque that will make you take notice. Again, this is the optional engine and a must-buy, in my opinion.

The much-improved 210-horse 4.0 liter V6 is adequate, but when you have a vehicle that needs a little more power, I would rather be safe than sorry with the V8. Don't worry too much about the added cost of ownership; there have been

many improvements in service ing intervals and other mainte* nance issues to make up for it.,

Safety and security in the Explorer are very much on the mark, including industry-first side-impact curtain air bags and rollover protection. If an Explorer is approaching .<& rollover situation, as deter-mined by the system, head-and-chest side-curtain bags are acti-vated to help protect the front passenger and keep them inside the vehicle. Pretty cutting edge stuff here.

Traction control is on board, as are driver and passenger dual-stage air bags. Seats outfit-ted with weight sensors detect objects and people and deacti-vate the air bag when necessary. And, of course, child safety seat attachments and anchors are there to properly protect your most precious cargo.

Frankly, I think this new Explorer is outstanding. My family will be buying one soon. My husband and kids are on board as well.

You, too, would be wise to take a closer look. Test drive an Explorer yourself, then get one for your family.

Arcoaire N a m e T o K n o w

www.arcoaire.com

Versatility and variety.

We added great new features to the best of what you liked about Arcoaire® gas furnaces'and made the new 90%+ even better! You'll appreciate how many more application options you have with these new multi-poise furnaces— most even duai-certified. And they come in a complete line of models, from single-pipe builder units with

aluminized steel heat exchangers to high-end two-stage variable speed units with stainless steei heat exchangers. Plus—we standardized components, which makes servicing much easier.

At 40 inches high, the Arcoaire 90%+ saves, space, but the design keeps components within easy reach. You'!! now find a diagnostic system on al! furnaces, conveniently located in the burner compartment. You can check the LED even with the furnace running.

Tested for toughness—

The new Arcoaire models, built as rugged as ever, feature an interlocking clamshell heat exchanger. The proven non-weld technology we use increases both reliability and performance. The furnaces and the heat exchangers go through the industry's toughest tests, and some of our own, to absolutely ensure reliability for the life of the furnace.

Perhaps the most important step in replacing or upgrading your home's comfort system is choosing the right company to do the job.

A good contractor can help you make the right choices and give you the best value for your money.

Choosing a reliable contractor can be more important than the brand of equipment because no matter how well-made a furnace is or who manu-factures it, the comfort, reliability and energy-efficiency that furnace provides is still in the hands of the company doing the installing. .

If you know a good heating contrac-tor, that is an excellent place to start. If you don't, ask your friends or neighbors for recommendations. Remember: What they charge is less important than what kind of a job they do, how honest they are and how they treat their customers.

• Avoid any company offering to give you an estimate without coming out and looking at the job.

• A good company will supply you a written proposal clearly outlining the work to be done and the agreed-on price.

• A reliable contractor will usually provide more than one furnace choice. Know the costs, quality and savings of the furnace or air conditioner you're buying.

• An estimator for a reliable compa-ny should ask about heating and cool-ing problems experienced with your old equipment, then offer understandable

solutions. • A good company will usually have

a financing plan available. • Most reliable contractors offer

extended service agreements which include maintenance inspections.

• A well-trained, up-to-date contrac-tor won't try to discourage you from purchasing high-efficiency equipment. If he does, get a second opinion.

• A good contractor is professional. Their people are prompt, they meet appointments, they are courteous, neat and well groomed. This neatness should be reflected in their vehicles and offices and installations.

• They should have an office/shop facility and not be ashamed to have you visit it.

• Many less qualified companies don't provide employees proper train-ing. Rather than keep current with the latest technology, some discourage sell-ing new designs.

Better companies usually charge more, but offer greater value. While one price may look better on paper, the most important consideration is your satisfaction with the end result. Did you get what you paid for?

Reliable companies, those meeting the requirements above, are interested in keeping you as their long-term cus-tomer. They want to maintain their fine reputation, so the price offered will usually be reasonable. If you have any questions, ask another company for a quote, then choose the best value.

Questions about the ACCA, NWHCDA What is the ACCA?

The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) is a non-profit trade association of service to the independent heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) contractors.

What is NWHCDA? Locally in the metro Detroit area,

the ACCA chapter is called the Northwest Heating and Cooling Dealers Association. There is also a state chapter called Michigan ACCA (MI ACCA). "

NWHCDA members maintain the highest ethical standards of selling, advertising, pricing, installation and service, guided by the principles of honesty and integrity.

NWHCDA work with local and state agencies concerned with licens-ing and inspections to maintain con-sumer safety and satisfaction.

ACCA and its members partici-pate in a program designed to rapid-ly locate defective products intro-duced to the marketplace so correc-tive action may be taken without delay to avoid cost and inconvenience to the consumer.

ACCA furnishes to its members a technical and management library unequaled in the HVACR industry.

ACCA and its members work with local and state educational organiza-tions in an effort to ensure a steady inflii^ of trained people in order to provide consumers with the quality service they deserve.

NWHCDA members are dedicated to:

• Instilling the highest respect for their profession within their commu-nity.

• Complying with all local codes and regulations.

• Upholding the highest ethical standards in selling, installing, and servicing heating and cooling equip-ment.

• Yielding an excellent policy of consumer relations and upholding the policies and warranties of the manufacturer.

® Carrying the proper liability and workmen's compensation insurnace to avoid risk to the consumer.

• Supporting energy conservation efforts through federal, state, and local agencies.

• Contributing to consumer edu-cation through agencies such as local consumer affairs offices.

• Maintaining the proper state and local licenses for the consumer's protection.

A CCA explains its code of ethics Code of Ethics Members of the Air Conditioning

Contractors of America agree to abide by and conform to the following code of professional conduct:

Instill the highest respect for heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) contract-ing profession within their communi-ties.

• Maintain strict compliance with all laws, regulations and ordinances pertaining to the HVACR industry

and business operations prescribed by federal, state, county and munici-pal governments.

• Design, install, service and repair heating, ventiliation, air con-ditioning and refrigeration systems in accordance with accepted industry standards.

• Develop and maintain an under-standing of proper equipment selec-tion to assure customers of safe, dependable and comfortable perfor-mance.

• Ensure that quality, honesty, integrity and good faith are hall-marks of contractors' business prac-tices, including individual contractor sales, advertising, installations and service of HVACR systems.

• Maintain a clean, safe, respectable and well-identified place of business commensurate with the high standards of the profession.

• Increase the safety and efficien-cy of the HVACR contracting indus-try by participating in the education

and training programs of ACCA. • Develop the highest quality

standards of customer service and nuture long-term relationships with customers.

• Encourage and support business development in which skilled and professional HVACR contractors are empowered to provide high-level ser-vices to consumers and end-users.

• Refrain from engaging in any activity defined as cross-subsidiza-tion.

Mechanical permits serve to protect your family's safety Whenever a furnace is installed a

permit is required for the homeown-er's safety and well-being.

This process is necessary for two reasons: to assure that the contrac-tor is qualified to install the equip-ment you have selected, and once the equipment is installed, that it has been inspected and is in compliance with the current Mechanical Code rules and regulations for proper installation of mechanical equip-ment.

"Local mechanical contractors must be licensed by the state of

Michigan and registered with the city."

"A permit must be obtained prior to commencing any mechanical work. If his license doesn't cover what he's trying to install, he won't be issued a permit."

Once installation is complete the contractor is responsible to call for inspection on the equipment.

The permit process is one that has been instituted for one purpose -to ensure the health, safety and wel-fare of the public. It's a matter of peace of mind.

How To Choose the Right Heating System

1 Choosing the right furnace can be as challenging as buying a new car. When shopping for a new heating system, there are certain things you should be aware of that will help you save money and ensure worry-free operation.

When shopping for a new car, relia-bility is a key factor, because it deter-mines how well and how long it will run. A furnace is really no different. Purchasing a quality furnace can save you headaches and money down the road.

In addition, many manufacturers back their products with 20-year or more limited warranties on heat exchangers, with optional extended warranties avail-able for parts and labor.

Here are some things to look for when buying a furnace:

Efficiency A furnace's efficiency rating, or

AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) tells you how efficiently the furnace uses fuel (gas or oil). In general, the higher the efficiency, the less fuel it will use to heat your home. The mini-

mum rating is 78 percent and some fur-naces are rated as high as 96 percent.

Usually a higher-efficiency furnace is a bit more expensive than other units. However, if you live in a cold climate, you may recover your investment in a high-efficiency furnace through lower utility bills. Of course, after the pay-back, you continue to save on your ener-gy bills for the life of a system.

Variable-Speed Furnaces Some furnaces can make you more

comfortable. For example, variable-speed furnaces can run on low speed up to 90 percent of the time, and operate very quietly.

Variable-speed furnaces run on low speed most of the time, switching to high speed during the coldest times of the year. This can mean dramatic ener-gy savings and a quieter heating sys-tem.

Your local assoc. heating and air con-ditioning dealer is the most reliable source for information on furnaces. See the dealer listing on page 2 for a list of dealers in your area.

What Happens When Indoor Air Is Too Dry? • You Feel Colder Since dry air causes moisture to evaporate from your skin at a higher than normal rate, you feel- uncom-fortably cool even in a home heated to 75 degrees.

• Higher Energy Costs It's well known that excessive dry-ness aggravates upper respiratory ailments. Allergies, sinus problems, even skin irritations can worsen by a lack of proper humidity.

• Damage To Your Home and Furnishings

Dry heated air is like a sponge

searching for water, drawing mois-ture from your furniture, plaster, woodwork, paneling, fabrics, carpets, and musical instruments. It all adds up to accelerated wear of everything in your home.

• Heat Loss This is another way dryness can mean higher energy costs. When the wood around your doors and win-dows dries out, it shrinks and loses its ability to properly seal your home. That means constant heat loss.. .and higher energy bills.

Attorney General announces Settlement with Consumers Energy on Natural Gas Prices

As you are probably aware, Consumer Energy and other natural gas suppliers have had their gas rates frozen since 1998 at a rate of $2.84 per thousand cubic feet (MCF). The freeze ended on April 30,2001. Consumers Energy filed a rate-case with the Michigan Public Service Commission asking for authority to charge $5.68 per MCF effective imme-diately. In an agreement reached in

August between the Attorney General, the PSC, and ABATE (Association of Businesses Advocating Tariff Equity) with the utility, Consumers has consent-ed to a cap of $4.68 effective until March 2002 (through the next heating season). Since that rate is now set, an increase of 65% will be realized from the 2000-2001 heating season to the 2001-2002 season.

Filters for Cleaner, Healthier Indoor Air

Central system ai r filters and air cleaners are installed "upstream" of your forced-air hea t ing and air con-ditioning equipment. They are cate-gorized into several groups:

Basic furnace dust-stop filters, which come wi th most heating and cooling units,

Media air filters, which use a r a the r porous media typically formed into pleats,

Self-charging media filters,

which use the static-electricity-gen-erat ing properties of plastic fibers such as polystyrene,

Charged media filters, which use an external direct dc voltage source, and

Electronic air cleaners, which use the principle of two-stage elec-trostatic precipitation.

See page 2 for your local NWHC-DA contractor for detailed informa-tion on these products.

Pollen 4200X magnification size range 8-100 microns Like plant spores, pollen is everywhere at cer-tain times of the year. Its presence inside a home causes allergy sufferers numerous mis-eries, such as watery eyes, irritated sinuses, and sore, runny noses.

Dust Mites 320X magnification size range 30-60 microns Greedy devourers of skin flakes, dust mites live out their entire reproductive lives in your car-pets and mattresses, leaving behind a trail of droppings, carcasses, and more dust mites. Not surprisingly, breathing these particles into your nose and lungs can cause an allergic

How To Know You Are Getting A Good Duct Cleaning... • Be sensible about the price you are quoted. If you are given three bids of: $600, $500, and $125, you need to be alert. It's highly unlikely you will get the same job at $125 tha t you will get at $600 or $500.

• Listen to the contractor giving you the price. Does he sound like he knows what he's doing? How long has he been in business? Does he seem straightforward or evasive? • Ask f o r r e f e r ences . This is an old tried and true method. Not a complete guarantee you'll get a good company, but almost. Even a young company should have satisfied customers to refer you to. If a duct cleaning busi-

ness has a broad list of well known clients, you probably have a winner.

* Is the company a National Air D u c t Cleaners A s s o c i a t i o n (NADCA) member? That helps. That means they have a desire to keep up with the industry and take a profes-sional attitude about their work.

• Equipment used. Small inexpen-sive equipment denotes inexperience and lack of long term commitment.

Using these guidelines, a duct cleaning consumer has a decent chance at finding a quality company at a fair price and avoiding the grim dis-covery of finding he paid for nothing.

Do You Have a Healthy Chimney Chimney liners prevent deterioration of chimney flues and

ensure proper venting of combustibie products that could condense into damaging moisture and acid in oversized chimneys. Most chimney problems can be corrected with the proper installation of a chimney liner. A chimney liner is a one piece flexible liner that, once installed, prevents condensa-tion, a major cause of chimney deterioration. What to Look For (Keep Your Chimney Healthy) • Damp spots on side wall or near the chimney • Water running out of, or debris, at the chimney base • White powder or stains on the outside bricks of the chimney • Broken tiles or stains on the outside bricks of the chimney • Missing bricks or loose mortar from the top of the roof line

Why should I cover my air conditioner? 1. To avoid costly repairs caused by falling debris such as sticks and leaves that can cause blockage in the fans and coils. 2. To aid in preventing the fan blades from freezing up. 3. To help protect the cabinet from rust and extend the life and appear-ance of the air conditioning unit. 4. NWHCDA recommends "Rinse the dirt off and cover your unit for the winter." I have heard before that you shouldn't cover your air conditioner because it needs to breathe. Is that true?

A/C Covers are manufactured with that very concept in mind.
