BUSINESS PERSON OF THE YEAR BY TEDD SCHNEIDER STAFF WRITER tschneider@oe.homecomm.net

It's almost impossible to live in the Plymouth-Canton community and not bump into Mike Gerou. Even if you don't need a lawyer.

Gerou, who has had his shingle out in downtown P lymou th s ince t he 1980s, is just as well known for a dozen or more pet community projects. The newsletter he regularly sends clients is filled with tidbits from his volunteer

endeavors and family life, in addition to legal advice.

In fact, pick up a ringing phone on any given day and chances are it could be Gerou on the other end wanting to take a few minu tes of your t ime on behalf of All Saints Catholic School, Eastern Michigan University alumni, Growth Works, the Plymouth Elks, Leadership Canton or the Canton Com-munity Junior Baseball Association.

Fire pact wins support • Canton f irefighters have ratif ied a four-year con-tract that calls for pay rais-es of about 11 percent over the l ife of the deal.

By CAROL MARSHALL STAFF WRITB# cmarshall@oe.homecomzn.net

After^about %year of negotiating, Canton Township and the firefighter's union have rat if ied a four-y§|tr-con-tract.

"Sometimes negotiations have a time frame of their own," said Dan Durack, Canton Township administrative and community services director.

The union's contract had expired last June, and negotiations began early in the spring. .

Durack said a t some t ime dur ing negotiations, the township and union had reached an impasse and were in the process of filing for arbitration.

"We said maybe we should all s i t down and see if we can' t settle th i s w i t h o u t a rb i t r a t i on , " Durack said . "And we did."

F i re f igh te r s union Pres ident Tim Dunn said there was plenty of give and take from both, the union and town-ship to keep negotiations from going to arbitration.

At the crux of negotiations was pay, 'hours and fringe benefits, Durack said.

"Of course that could be true of near-ly all 20i.lract negotiations," he added.

Burglar strikes it rich in Queen Anne break-i

A C a n t o n m a n r epo r t ed to police someone broke into his Queen Anne residence and took $56,000 in cash from his safe.

T h e man said the safe had contained the large quantity of cash. He told police that only the family knew where the safe was stored. He also reported a con-t rac to r had sent a half- dozen men to work on his home, and two of t h e m may have seen where the safe was hidden.

Canton drivers paying premium at local pumps BY ALICE ASHMORE STAFF WRITER

Local d r ive r s woke-up to sticker shock this week as gaso-line prices soared by an average of 10 cents a gallon.

James (last name withheld), the manager of a Clark Gas Sta-tion in Plymouth, said his prices increased by 10 cents per gallon on Tuesday.

"We've h a d r ea l good gas prices all week, bul customers will be unhappy tomorrow," he said.

He says when prices go up, customers are less likely to fill their tanks. "They just wonder 'man, what's going on with gas prices?'"

P l y m o u t h r e s i d e n t Debbie Show is one of those customers baffled by the increase in gas prices.

"It's unbelievable," she said. "I don't know what we're going to do — we have a son that plays traveling soccer."

She sa id car-pooling is one option she may consider.

She said her parents are driv-ing to Texas this summer to visit relatives and the cost of their vacation j u s t went up. "I was just talking about'it today with my parents , and they are con-

high. "We don ' t know why . They ;

never give us a straight answer, he said.

And customer complaints are; pouring in. "People take it out on the gas station. We're caught in the middle," the manager said.

He said the number of "drive-offs" - c u s t o m e r s who l eave without paying - goes up when there is a price increase.

A gas store clerk in Plymouth ; is also feeling the ire. "I don't; like it any more t h a n the next guy, but people act like it is my. fault," she said.

Don H e r r i m a n , also of Ply-; mouth, seemed resigned to the; price increase.

"I need gas - I have to buy it,", s a id H e r r i m a n , who sa id the! price increase would not affect; him too much. "I probably won't change my driving habits."

He and his fami ly a re plan-^ n i n g to d r ive to F l o r i d a this; summer for a vacation. "It is still cheaper than flying for a family of five," he said.

Her r iman remembers the oil embargo and gas l ines of t he ea r ly 1970s. "My p a r e n t s did change their driving habits back then," he recalled.

Fanar Ayar, manager of a Ply-mouth Mara thon s ta t ion , said his prices increased by a dime a gallon on Monday night. "We try really hard to stay low," he said.

"We study top ics l ike m a m m a l s , l a n d fo rms and foods,"

said Eichenberg. "The kids pack clothes to travel to each of these continents, make passports and taste different foods."

"It's teaching them an appreci-ation of other countries and dif-f e ren t customs," added Karen H u s t o n , a n o t h e r Hoben f i r s t grade teacher.

E E F h a s g iven more t h a n $10 ,215 in grants to teachers in

the Plymouth-Canton school dis-trict for creative ways to teach children to learn.

"EEF exists for the teachers and their projects," said Carole Kody, E E F executive director. "This is how we can reach the most number of kids in the dis-trict ... with innovative and cre-ative projects. Teachers tie the projects to s tandard curriculum to enhance education."

Klo Phillippi's Smith Elemen-tary third grade class and Cindy Burns te in ' s h igh schoolers are studying Shakespeare together. The pa i r received a $395 E E F grant to adapt Shakespeare and Rena i s sance ac t iv i t ies for the younger students.

Burns t e in ' s h igh school s tu-dents researched London during t h e t i m e of S h a k e s p e a r e and s h a r e d t h e i r knowledge w i t h Phillippi's th i rd graders. They a lso r e w r o t e A Midsummer Night's Dream for the elementary students, who made costumes for the i r play before present ing i t t h i s p a s t week for fellow s tu-dents, friends and family.

The third graders also taught

their high school buddies about the Globe Theater.

"It was good experience for the h i g h school s t u d e n t s to w o r k with the elementary youngsters," said Phillippi. "Not only did they l ea rn about Shakespea re w i th each other, they learned to work w i th each other . I t h ink they each learned a lot.

"The elementary students were i n t imida t ed a t f i r s t , bu t a f t e r w o r k i n g w i t h t h e o lder k i d s focused more on the lesson," she s a id . "And, I t h i n k t h e h i g h school s tudents were impressed with the knowledge and learning capacity of the elementary stu-dents."

"I think the high school kids found out how good they are a t teaching," added Burnstein. "It w a s h e a r t w a r m i n g to w a t c h them work with the smaller kids and become their buddies. It was very inspiring."

The Educa t i ona l Excel lence Foundat ion gave g ran t s which ranged from $74 to $1,400, which reached more t h a n 2,900 s tu -dents in the P lymouth-Canton school district.

Mineta. "The information on these web pages will afford greater safety to chil-d r en by gu id ing p a r e n t s and caregivers to the right choices of Safety r e s t r a in t for their chil-dren's needs." ; According to the U.S. Depart-ment of Transportation's Nation-al H i g h w a y Tra f f i c S a f e t y Adminis t ra t ion, motor vehicle crashes each year kill 1,800 chil-d r en ages 14 and unde r and

injure more than 280,000. The agency estimates that four out of five child safety seats are used incorrectly.

The new addition to NHTSA's I n t e r n e t Web si te is one-stop shopping for parents and care-givers who want to learn about the correct use and installation of child safety seats.

The Web site is designed to: • Provide recommendat ions

for the correct use of each type of child safety seat to he lp con-sumers select the most appropri-ate child restraint system.

• Provide a description and list of various features available on the child restraints that may make t h e m eas ier to u se and install.

• Provide a current listing of all new child safety seats avail-able.

Between cases, students asked Lowe some provocative ques-tions, and he gave straight-up answers.

• "If you drive a car, you are responsible to make sure it has a valid license plate."

• "If you get caught with drugs, your parents won't get in trouble unless it's found that a parent is giving their children drugs and tobacco."

• "If parents give children cigarettes, they could be charged with contributing to a minor and be fined or go to jail."

• "I've never had a case involving kids killing kids, but I have had cases where parents killed thei r children or their spouse."

• "I've never had to deal with gangsters or the mob, There are a couple of well-known attorneys who are known to r ep resen t mobsters who have appeared in front of me, but I don't think they were representing any mob members."

• "The youngest person I've had to deal with was 10 years old, who was stealing mail and giving it to an adult who would cash stolen checks. Lots of adults try to talk kids into doing bad things."

From the bench: Judge Ron Lowe answers questions of some of the 300 students from Central Middle School who came to watch the legal process at work.

cle af ter consuming six beers and a number of Jim Beam-and-Coke drinks. Lowe announced the breathalyzer test came to a .22, more than three times the .07 legal limit. The defendant was allowed to plea-bargain his Operating Under the Influence of Liquor charge to Impaired Driving.

"I learned what goes on in court and what the consequences

are of doing drugs," said Rachel Hendr ian , 11, of Plymouth Township. "It's good to stay out of the court system so you don't lose your money or your car.''

"I learned that you shouldn't do drugs, or alcohol or drink and drive so you don't get a ticket," said Mary Haddad, 11, of Can-ton.

Jean Pritchard, whose sixth-grade class was among those at

the court, said viewing real cases is a life-long learning experience.

"They watch TV and have an idea of what court is like on tele-vision, which is a totally differ-en t p ic ture ," said Pr i tcharf i . "We're hoping it leaves them with an impress ion the re ' s respect, dignity, and a certain amount of warmth in the court."

Firefighters from page A1

"There was nothing out of the Ordinary. They wanted more than the board wanted to give, but we were able to compromise bn both sides and come to an Agreement." j Dunn said the union's biggest concession was the township's hew ability to send firefighters for mandatory training. ! According to the new contract, panton can require command officers to a t tend classes one Week per month for a year, and BO hours annually of command Readership training. * Township officials hope the hard work will pay off. The con-tract is the first four-year con-

tract for the firefighter's union. Durack said the contracts

have been three-year contracts, and the township sought the longer-lasting agreement.

Dunn said the union is also pleased with the contract, and there were very few people who voted against it.

"A lot of communi t ies are going to the four-year contract," Durack said. "When there's cer-tainty, I think everybody's more comfortable."

Canton and AFSCME, Ameri-can Federal, State and County Municipal Employees, ratified the township's f irst four-year contract, then the police union

• 'There was nothing out of the ordinary. They wanted more than the board wanted to give, but we were able to compromise on both sides and come to an agreement.'

-Dan Durack> Canton administrative services director

contracts followed earlier this year.

"Those contract negotiations set the pace," Durack said.

The firefighters were able to negotiate a 3.5 percent wage increase', retroactive to July 1, 2000. Firefighter wages start at

$30,453 and a five-year employ-ee earns $49,643.

The wages will again increase 3.5 percent this July, and will go up 2 percent in 2002 and 2003.

Firefighters will also receive an additional personal day annu-ally.

The increased costs for wages and benefits to the township for the 45 employees will be nearly $478,000 over four years.

Durack said the wage and ben-efit increases were fairly typical. Oije of the more impor t an t issues was the ability of a fire-fighter to pursue a position in fire prevention.

Previously a firefighter who left a fire suppression position in which he or she would work about nine 24-hour sh i f t s a month to take a position in fire prevention, which is a five-day a week job, would lose his seniori-ty in fire suppression.

"That means they wouldn't be

eligible for any promotions that might come up in that depart-ment," Durack said.

Under the new contract, a fire-fighter could commit to fire pre-vention for a three-year period and could return to fire suppres-sion without being penalized.

Further, the township, which-has had a difficult time attract^ ing f i re prevention s taff , can, seek outside job candidates to fill; those positions.

Next will be the clerical union contracts, which Durack said he; hopes will be finished soon, then; the police l i eu t enan t s ancf sergeants and captains unions. .

, i The Plymouth-Canton Educa-* tion Association and Plymouth-. Canton Schools negotiators are back at the bargaining table today, the first time since teach-

e r s rejected a one-year extension .to the current three-year pact I which expires in August. •' Teachers turned down the con-tract, which was recommended by the PCEA, mainly because they didn' t like the proposed salary schedule. The tentative agreement called for teachers at ihe very top of the pay scale, along with first-year teachers, to receive a 3 percent wage hike. -Teachers in between, who are in their second through 10th years,

•Would have received a 1.75 per-cent wage increase. It takes 11

- years, plus a master's degree, for a Plymouth-Canton teacher to get to the top of the wage scale.

"Salary differences between "ihe top and middle steps is a big * issue," admitted Chuck Portelli, I PCEA president. "We'll find out ; what we can do with it.. . find out -where the board is at and let them know where our members

; stand. They're more happy with ; a traditional salary schedule, -.where everyone gets the same i increase." i . More than 400 teachers voted Aga in s t the pact, which went |Sown to defeat by 55 votes. How-•|ever, Superintendent Kathleen •Booher sees that as a positive t sign. r "The teachers were vocal in ^iheir vote, but nearly half were ^favorable," she said. "The union i leadership has been listening to * determine what the vote meant, *and we've been in discussion Jyrith the union leadership to be f supportive. We hope it still will | be a decision the union will ; favor."

Portelli noted the union is dis-? turbed by the fact Plymouth-\ Canton salaries are below those C in Oakland County. £ "For the first seven steps we're ^competitive. After the seventh ^ step, we're way behind them," Jsaid Portelli. "Half our member-s h i p is at the top of the salary

Schedule, and they're not compet-itive with Oakland County. If you look at it over the course of a fcareer, it's an issue." * Figures released by the PCEA show a first-year teacher, who under the current pact earns $34,734, would have jumped to $35,776. A teacher at the top of the scale, with a master's degree, is currently paid $67,700. The new contract would have increased that salary to $69,767. ' Portelli said elementary teach-ers were also unhappy with another non-traditional issue, six late start days. Instead of the t radi t ional four half-days for staff development in which stu-dents attend class for a half-day followed by teacher in-service time, Portelli said the staff was aiot prepared to make changes jthat would have staff develop-ment at the beginning of the day.

Fox 2, was the keynote speaker for the annual luncheon, which drew about 150 people to Sum-mit on the Park.

"It's a great honor" Gerou said following the ceremony. "If you look at the previous winners, these are people who have been active in the community over a long period of time, not just one year."

"I'm in good company here." Gerou, who was introduced by

his brother, Tom, thanked his wife for her support and urged the audience to take an even more active role in their commu-nity. "No one can do everything but everyone can do something," he said from the podium.

Fleischaker said she got that message 10 years ago when mov-ing to Canton from Colorado.

"I still considered Colorado my home," and emotional Fleischak-er said in accepting her award. "Canton was just a place to live."

'It's a great honor. If you look at the previous win-ners, these are people who have been active in the community over a long period of time, not just one year.'

-Mike Gerou

What changed her life was get-ting involved in the community, par t icu lar ly her decision to enroll in Leadership Canton. (Both she and Gerou are 1998 Leadership Canton graduates.)

Fleischaker was instrumental in helping to develop a local youth leadership program mod-eled after the chamber-spon-sored program. A third class of middle middle-schoolers gradu-ated from the youth program this spring.

Fleischaker has also been a mentor for female veterinary students and has helped 29 gain

admittance to veterinary school, including two th i s year . She helped one of her colleagues, JoLynne Grant, start the first animal emergency shel ter in Saginaw.

She also thanked her spouse for enabl ing h e r to spend so much t ime in the community and urged others to follow her volunteer path.

Previous Athena winner Gin-nie Hauck, who introduced Fleis-chaker, said "any person blessed to have this woman come into their lives is better off for it."

Center UPDATE

Presented by H a n d s On Center For Physical Therapy

OVERUSED Overuse injuries result from the

wear and tear of repetitive activity. Tendinitis is the problem behind many overuse injuries. Tendons, the fibrous cords that anchor muscles to bones, are vulnerable because the force of muscle contractions is transmitted through them. People who exercise regularly are especially at risk because of the strong forces produced by their well-conditioned muscles. These forces increase tension on the tendons, which can then rub against bones, ligaments, and other tendons to cause irritation. Tendinitis is deceptive. The pain can be severe at the beginning of exercise, then may diminish as exercise continues, only to return

sharply once it has stopped. Stretching and strengthening regimens can help prevent tendinitis, but equipment and technique are equally important.

At the HANDS ON CENTER FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY, in addition to treating your condition, we'il also explain how it occurred, and show you what you can do to prevent injuries in the future. We provide all the latest physical therapy options, and our staff includes both physical and massage therapists. Ask your Physician for referral, or call our center, located in Plymouth, at 470 Forest Avenue, Suite 20, at 455-8370. Early morning and evening treatment hours available..

P.S. In sports and activities that involve running and jumping, tendinitis is mosi likely to develop in the knee, foot and Achilles tendon at the back oftheankie.

Departing P-CEP band director strikes a chord

There aren't many communities where the high school band director's departure would qualify as front-page news but Ply-mouth-Canton is certainly one of them. Sunday ' s Observer s tory on David McGrath's decision to leave the school district for the band director's job at Mar-cus High School in Flower Mound, Texas, undoubtedly struck a sour note for sup-porters of the national award-winning P-CEP marchers.

Even though we don't know him per-sonally, we will miss McGrath not just for the results he achieved on the field, but for the sense of pride and accomplish-ment he instilled in his students and the community. A short list of the band's achievements since McGrath became director of bands in 1995 includes:

• Six consecutive s tate titles in the annual competition at the Pontiac Silver-dome;

• A national title in December 1999 in competition at the RCA Dome in Indi-anapolis and second-place finishes in 1988 and 2000;

• Performing at the Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, Ariz.

Individually, dozens of Plymouth-Can-ton graduates have made the marching bands at the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and other col-leges, many receiving music scholarships.

McGrath, a 1983 Canton High School graduate who said he would have liked to retire from his "dream" job, cited person-al reasons for his decision, mainly more time for his family. However, he said the distr ict indirectly contributed to the change by failing for many years to hire a third person to assist with the program. "There have been proposals before, but nothing has ever happened," McGrath said. "...I respect their decision, but the band hasn't been made a priority."

McGrath will work with three assis-

tants in his new post, at a school that has about 60 percent of the students as P-CEP. McGrath said the state of Texas puts a lot of resources into extracurricu-lar programs.

Band boosters, who take a high-profile role in Plymouth-Canton and at least one school board member believe the high school music program deserves more money. "I feel strongly we need to look hard at our current co-curricular budget and find more money for the marching band," said Trustee Judy Mardigian. "We all know it's underfunded."

Maybe it is. But the re a re other extracurricular areas in Plymouth-Can-ton deserving a little (or a lot) of financial attention, too. For example, the district's four middle schools have a shoestring budget when it comes to the arts and ath-letics.

We believe any additional money for the band should come only after a com-prehensive review of all extracurricular programs by the administration and the board.

Comparing Michigan to Texas in one, tightly defined area of school funding is misleading. And as McGrath points out, Plymouth-Canton has been handicapped for seven years by Proposal A, which kicked in after local voters had rejected a property tax.

While McGrath deservedly gets much of the credit for the program's recent suc-cess, even he said there was a solid foun-dation on which to build when he arrived. He is confident that whomever is hired to replace him will be well-qualified and up to the task of leading this pre-miere group of students.

"This program has committed students, parents and staff. I was only one piece of the puzzle," he said.

A key piece, we add. And one that will create a hole that won't be easily filled.

Let's not turn Michigan into the 'Wild Midwest'

Gun-rights advocates have certainly made some fair points about the current state of law regarding permits to carry concealed weapons. Drafted back in the 1920s, Michigan's present CCW law has resulted in a system that allows county gun boards to decide on permit applica-tions in an arbitrary fashion.

But the revision to CCW laws - rushed through the Legislature in the closing days of last year's session and set to go into effect this July - is a serious overre-action.

There can be little doubt it will result in a large increase in the number of people legally carrying concealed "heat" in Michi-gan, by some estimates up to a 10-fold increase.

We've no desire to see Michigan turned into "The Wild Midwest."

Given a chance to vote on this law in a referendum, Michigan voters should toss it out and send state lawmakers back to the drawing board for some serious rewriting.

Improvements needed to the law include:

• Tougher restrictions. If lawmakers want to retain "shall issue" wording - lan-guage that eliminates the discretion of local gun boards and requires them to give out permits as long as applicants meet all the criteria - additional restrictions are in order. Applicants should be required to "show a need."

Under the current "may issue" rules, gun boards often do require a showing of need, but what they'll accept as a need is frequently disputed. Lawmakers ought to require that showing, then provide a list of what needs are considered acceptable for issuing a CCW permit.

• Revise in the new CCW law the so-called "village idiot clause." State law-makers included the clause to allow gun boards to weed out applicants who might not have a criminal record or might not have been committed to a mental institu-tion, yet would present a danger to them-selves or others if allowed to walk around with guns. Nice idea, but to invoke that clause, gun boards would have to produce "clear and convincing evidence" that the applicant presents a danger. That stan-dard of evidence is too high. The wording needs to be changed to provide a presump-tion in favor of the board when it exercises

'i its discretion. • The time period given to gun boards

to conduct background checks on appli-

cants is seriously too short. Set in the new law at 30 days, it is half to one third the time given gun boards in other states to review the background of applicants.

• Nice as it is that lawmakers ruled out applicants with a history of mental ill-ness, there is no way for gun boards to check on that history. There is no central database to refer to. The system depends on applicants admitting to gun boards that they have had such problems. Other-wise, boards would have to poll every therapist in the state to do a thorough check. Lawmakers need to close this gap.

At this point, it appears a referendum question on the new CCW law is headed to the ballot in 2002. The People Who Care About Kids Committee gathered 260,000 signatures to put the law to a ref-erendum. The Michigan United Conserva-tion Clubs and the Michigan Coalition of Responsible Gun Owners filed suit to block that vote. On Monday, April 30, Supreme Court justices remanded the case to the court of appeals, insisting on a ruling by June 1 and stating that the question of whether laws that appropriate money can be subjected to referendum is "ripe for review."

We've already stated on these pages that we believe the expression of that many voters should be honored and the ballot question should proceed.

Further, the last-minute addition of a $1 million appropriation to the CCW bill was so clearly a ploy by legislators to block a public vote that anything less than allowing an election to proceed will do vio-lence to the very notion of "government by the people."

This is not about Second Amendment rights. Clearly, a Michigan citizen has a right to own a gun. Nor is it about the right of self-defense. We all retain that right. It is not even about the "right to bear arms."

This is about carrying a gun concealed, hidden from view. The government has long since insisted it has a legitimate interest asking citizens to get a permit if they want to do that, and the courts have supported it.

Nevertheless, proponents of the new CCW law have identified flaws in the old system. Their new version, however, involves enormous risks.

We urge rejection of the law as passed by the legislature. That might send a mes-sage to zealots on either side, encouraging them to get back to the drafting table.

• Dumb decisions I agree there is a set of long-term

residents and business owners who have earned their right to speak for or against airport operations. However, I do not recognize any perceived right to comment on airport operations by those squatters attempting to bear witness to their self-inflicted woes.

Squatters in this case are those who have chosen to ignore reality. Squat-ters are those who have chosen to live in the flight path of an airport. Their feelings in the matter cannot trump the common-sense thoughts of thou-sands of residents living in our area who for years knew it would be unwise to live in its path.

We all watched through the years as developments got closer and closer. But there are good and bad decisions. A decision to approve a development does not automatically make it a good decision. Living or working in one of these developments for a time does not suddenly erase the bad judgment of everyone involved.

For years, clear thinking residents have been shaking their heads in mor-bid disbelief as each participant in this process took a little bit more and ignored reality a little bit more.

Planes have always crashed in the nearby fields. Any zoning ordinance allowing buildings to occur in the flight path, any residential site plan passed, any builder pushing a develop-ment there, any sales office offering residential there, anyone buying in the flight path of an airport - is simply dumb. And there is no way to say it any nicer.

Am I pro-airport or anti-airport? Neither. What I am, is sick of those newcomers and squatters who ignore reality, who step all over the common sense of everyone else so they can get ahead, and whose decisions diminish the values of everyone around them.

Duggan wrong Prosecutor Mike Duggan says that

98 percent of people who get a general CCW permit should be connected with law enforcement. This from a person who has sworn to uphold the Michigan Constitution of 1963.

.^Article 1 Section 6 of this constitu-tion says:

"Every person has a right to keep and bear arms for the defense of him-self and the state." Nothing about a militia. Every person has a right. Does Mr. Duggan not understand the meaning of the word "bear," as in "carry?" Does he think only certain parts of the constitution should be obeyed? The legislature has decided to end the discrimination promulgated by the gun boards.

Mr. Duggan wants it to continue. Is there more of the "good ole boy" here than meets the eye?

Dennis Kabaczy Canton

• Malott also wrong Mike Malott's (I believe that he is

not a Christian) ridiculous "obvious example" with human jaw and "too many teeth" (Intelligent Design theory called an "insult to God," April 19, 2001), makes as much sense as a case

of a green-leaves eating worm who, capable of seeing only what's in front of him, waded into the stem of a grow-ing cabbage and wondered what it is for; then concluded that it is nothing more than an obstruction spitefully planted on his path by someone mean.

The absolute, unchangeable fact is that God's magnificent creation is per-fect. Everything has its purpose. Nothing could have been done better by the mind of a wormy human engi-neer.

In the past believed by some as unnecessary, tonsils, appendix, and yes, the wisdom teeth, fulfill important biological functions with respect to good health. In the whole world, only a tiny fraction of 1 percent of people have their wisdom teeth removed for the reason given by Malott. All others find them useful; no encumbrance at all.

Thomas Edison, the famous inven-tor, said, "We do not know one mil-lionth of one percent about anything." His admission is certainly worthy of a great mind. The Darwinian theory is just a theory, unproven and never to be proven because it is erroneous, nothing more than a guess, faulty like many other guesses by limited minds, contradicting the obvious. Its validity can be compared to a case where a worm waded into a mountain, and see-ing there a yellowish stone theorized that it is a cake of cheese.

All indications are that each species were created distinct, their physical and mental characteristics determined at the time of the creation, and remained as such ever after. There is no single evidence to the contrary.

All creation is one great miracle, engineered to perfection, and managed by the everlasting super-intelligence which is our Almighty God. It cannot be otherwise. Many great human minds involved in fathoming the mys-teries of nature, the marvels of the cre-ation, unanimously and unconditional-ly agree with this assumption. Teach-ing in our schools the faulty, unproven, Darwinian theory, which seems to be solely a guess or suggestion by a sin-gle, limited mind, makes not much sense.

• Not so protective I have been a teacher in the Ply-

mouth-Canton Community Schools for 15 years. During this time I have reported three of my students to Pro-tective Services for suspected child abuse or neglect. In all three cases, Protective Service case workers went out to the house to investigate, and afterwards I received letters stating, "There was not a preponderance of evi-dence of neglect or abuse."

I continue to see the same signs and nothing happens. With luck these children will live to become adults, but not without scars, or the likelihood that they will engage in the same par-enting patterns that they suffered from.

Our school had a Protective Service Worker come to a meeting concerning a student of ours and he explained to us what geographic area he was cover-ing and how many children he had on his caseload. It certainly appeared to be "Programmed Failure" to me.

I had a substitute teacher who filed a report on the same student I had.

:s 4

:r; She said that the person who took her ^ information seemed "disinterested." When she finished, the substitute * teacher said, "I have taught for 30 years and this is the second time I have reported a child." The worker said, "You should have said that in the first place." .. j:

My 8-year-old nephew had a long file| j! with Protective Services, first in Dear-born and'then in Pontiac. When he died under suspicious circumstances, , ;< three members of our family called the - f Gratiot County Coroner's office and w;i. shared information about the long file Z . with Protective Services, and asked for^. an autopsy.

My grown children were appalled at the bruises on his face and arms as he lay in his casket. No investigation was done. A few months later my mother-in-law, my husband and I got an k appointment to talk to the head of Pro*& tective Services. The appointment was changed to an Ombudsman for Oak-land County. My mother-in-law came "ti: with a one-inch thick file on the Pro-tective Service reports made by neigh-bors and my nephew's teachers, letters written by neighbors, letters written by my mother-in-law to the governor of Michigan, and the State Representa- ! tives.

We offered to make copies of every- . • thing, but she didn't want them. Nothing happened. About four months later, my 11-year-old nephew told the . .. whole story of his lifelong abuse to his J : classroom teacher. His sister, 10, con-;.$v firmed the facts. My husband and I nr., were called late that night to pick ,/[i; them up at a McDonald's in Pontiac. ji

Now, four years later, the kids are ^ safe, but not due to Protective Ser-vices. The loss of my nephew has gnawed at my mother-in-law, probably^! contributing to her stress and health 'gl problems. I know she would feel bet-ter if there was a thorough investiga-tion of the people and agencies -involved, and I would feel better if I ^ ' could believe it made a difference whether I call Protective Services or > not.

SmartZones could prove crucial to building Michigan

PHI! Power

jOn first' glance, it looked a lot like pork. 'A state body (in this case, the Michigan Eco-

nomic Development Corporation) announces 11 "SmartZones," carefully scattered around the st^ate. The press release detailing locations of the various SmartZones quotes an aspirant for higher ofjfice (in this case, Lt. Gov. Dick Posthumus).

'But a more careful look reveals something far more significant for the future of our economy than just another government pro-gram announced

I by an aspirant

^ to" ( for higher office. So far as I

know, the Smart-Zone program is unique in Ameri-ca: An integrated way to encourage links between research done in university labs to the business community to

• new high tech companies,

importantly coupled with a method of financing the infrastructure required to make these "virtu-al business parks" really take off.

'The one in western Wayne County, "Pinnacle SmartZone," is designed to create a state-of-the-art real estate development that builds on and complements updated Metro Airport. The vision is to transform around 1,200 acres of underuti-lized county-owned land around the airport into a high-quality mixed business and technology zone.

SmartZones will be allowed to capture the growth in property and school taxes as the busi-ness climate improves, much like the tax incre-ment financing system used to fund downtown development areas. The revenues can be used to build infrastructure ranging from sewers to high-speed telecommunications, building incubators to house high-tech companies and creating support facilities like R&D and testing labs.

So what does it all mean? It means that Michigan, for the first time in my

memory, is getting serious about putting together the elements that led to the development of high-tech powerhouses such as Route 128 outside Boston and Silicon Valley in California. Both cen-ters were powered by proximity to great research universities, Route 128 to Harvard and MIT and Silicon Valley to Stanford. Each Michigan Smart-

Zone is directly tied to one or another university or existing research center.

The emphasis on universities is not by chance. Michigan's universities are among the nation's leaders in research an4 development (U-M is No. 1 among public schools). But the historic problem has been to leverage all this academic research activity into commercialization. SmartZones are aimed directly at this connection. And now that there are 11 SmartZones, it's possible to see how one area compares with another in linking research to the business world.

I asked Doug Rothwell, CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, what the criteria were for picking the 11 sites. "The busi-ness realism and viability of the proposals, main-ly," he responded. "Of course, we were interested in the connection to universities and research labs, and we looked at amenities like incubators, lab space, even day care facilities."

Rothwell also stressed SmartZones as a way to rebrand the image and direction of Michigan's

SmartZones will be allowed to capture the growth in property and

school taxes as the business climate Improves, much like the tax increment financing system used to fund downtown development areas.

inner cities. "We deliberately tried to locate most SmartZones in traditional core cities instead of the suburbs. Michigan simply cannot achieve its potential unless our cities are vibrant. So this program links our ability to compete nationally in the technology sector with revitalizing our tradi-tional downtowns. It's a real two-fer."

The SmartZone program made it into the head-, lines for a day or two a couple of weeks ago. I happen to think it might just turn out to be of fundamental and lasting importance in building Michigan.

Academic All-Stars signal the rich promise of our future

Every day it's a different story. One day we're diving fast into a recession. Com-

pany after company announces layoffs by the thousands. Our 401(k) statements keep moving backward instead of forward (and the date when Social Security collapses seems to get closer all the time).

' But the next day, things are looking up. People are still buying consumer goods, just at a slower rate. The established companies seem to have enough resources to weather the storm. The latest quarter actually shows the economy grew - not a lot, but it grew.

Half empty? Half f u l l ?

No one seems to know. But we choose to think that a little optimism might carry us over into better times. After all we were riding extremely high just a year ago.

The future has rich promise. One reason I know this is tucked inside this newspaper. It is The

u..«h N M I O b s e r v e r ' s annual Hugh Gallagher tribute to the best

and brightest of our high school graduates. Our Academic All-Stars will one day take their place as leaders in our communities. They will help provide the answers, discover the secrets, motivate the actions of others and pursue excellence.

One of the crucial issues that we face is in pub-lic education. This became a prime topic during the last presidential campaign. President George Bush calls himself an "education president." It is the one area where the conservative president believes the national government needs to take a more active role.

We decided to pick the considerable brain power of the Academic All-Stars about this subject they know first hand and which many of them will pur-sue as teachers, counselors, administrators and college professors. They don't offer a single view. Some of their ideas conflict. But they offer thoughtful contributions to the ongoing debate, which is what generates bold, new ideas in a strong democracy.

Kevin Pilkiewicz of Canton and Catholic Cen-tral High School supports vouchers and corporate charter schools with lower tuition, "The families of children not in the public system should not have to pay taxes to support the public schools. This would not only help many promising children receive a better education, it would also force pub-lic schools to improve themselves in order to secure those precious tax dollars they need to operate."

Brian Doughty of North Farmington High School would encourage students to realize what they have in public education and make the most of it. "Too often I hear students saying they wish there was something to do in this school, this town etc. I would try to get these students to $pen

The future has rich promise. One reason I know this is tucked inside

this newspaper. It is The Observ-er's annual tribute to the best and brightest of our high school gradu-

their eyes and get involved," he wrote. Several students also urged more "involvement"

by parents. Michelle Mamo of Redford Union High School writes, "I would establish new programs to involve parents in their children's education. One of the problems with our society is that the par-ents are not as informed or involved with their students as they should be."

Mamo and others also want public education to be more academically challenging. Kimberly Weaver of Canton High School wants to "make it easier for the top students to take more challeng-ing classes."

Anne Bresler of Livonia Churchill High School wants more recognition for non-sports activities. "Losing sports teams get constant recognition, while award-winning choirs, theater programs and students go unnoticed and under-appreciat-ed."

Students also stand up for their teachers, ask-ing for more flexibility and creativity for individ-ual teachers. Christopher Gansen of Livonia Stevenson High School writes, "Teachers fre-quently cannot teach what they deem necessary because the standard curriculum does not allow -time for it. By allowing teachers to teach what they want to, they can expose students to a wider variety of materials and provide for more in-depth learning."

Gift-giving time: 'The best stuff' adds up to the best loved, right?

Verica Saveski

For every holiday and birthday, my friend hunts frantically for the perfect gift to give. She drives all over town dur-ing her lunch breaks, spends weekends at the mall and runs up her phone bill in her quest not to disappoint the receiver. Making some-one happy is her goal, but that someone is not her husband.

Debbie is shopping for her son's girlfriend, and this time it is for the perfect graduation gift. According to my friend, there is a contest that exists in the high schools that I was not aware of.

"It's all about who got the best stuff," Debbie told me. "Girls want to show off what their boyfriends gave them." It was understandable tha t girls would want to brag to their friends about how thoughtful their boyfriends are, but why was she doing the shopping?

Turns out, my friend was under the illusion that she was teaching her son how to be the perfect boyfriend by buying frivolous gifts and spending money.

"This way if I do it, he sees what he needs to do to make her happy." The more Debbie explained, the sillier her intentions seemed. Teaching your child to base love on the amount of items acquired or given during the relationship was teaching him to be petty. It is sad to know that there are par-ents out there teaching their children to, be as shallow as my friend sounded.

Since her son did not have the money anyway, I asked Debbie why he couldn't make or do some-thing special for his girlfriend instead of buying a gift.

Her answer? "You know kids these days. They don't care

about things like that." Things like a simple card made on the computer,

a delicious heart-shaped cookie, or a poem written specifically for me?

Do kids think frivolous gifts are the equivalent of saying "I love you" or sharing a passionate kiss lasting longer than a few seconds? Is it no longer romantic to sit on the beach, holding one another as the sun goes down? Cheap perfumes and teddy bears are a lot more special than a picnic by the lake watching ducks swim by?

Parents are only creating spoiled brats by stressing the importance of spending money to show affection. Love should not be weighed by the amount of gifts they receive, but instead how they receive love. A kiss on the cheek, a helping hand, a patient ear, a shoulder to cry on, or a pair of eyes to share a special moment with.

Love comes in all kinds of packages that do not require a gift box and an overpowering bow. A person can't depend on flowers lasting or a Disney snow-globe to be unbreakable. All of that cafi be replaced with another superficial item bought a t a discount price. But imagination and effort is priceless - and much more creative in displaying affection.

Parents like my friend Debbie are not doing any good by keeping their values in check with a price gun. They are building their children up for disap-pointments as adults in search of a meaningful relationship. Without the right guidance, they may not find a relationship worth more than the glass house they were raised in.

Verica Saveski is a student at Madonna Uni-versity. She has a child who is nearly 2 years old. They live in Dearborn Heights.

Sharing the thanks May 6- lg is set aside nationally to recognize

those individuals who have chosen education as a career and children as a commitment. In this time of examining schools, teachers, administrators, curriculum, MEAP scores and drop-out rates, we tend to forget to thank all those people who are on the job in our school buildings providing an envi-ronment for youngsters conducive to learning.

So thanks to the custodian who opens the door and shovels the walkway. Thanks to the mainte-nance person who keeps the grounds and building safe, intact and "at the ready." Thanks to the building secretary who puts on the Band-Aids,

consoles the crying child, doesn't forget who's on "hold," and types/ faxes/ copies, and listens all at the same time. Thanks to the principal who makes the "tough" call, manages the budget, motivates! s t a f f and r e m e m b e r s every s t u d e n t ' s n a m e . ' Thanks to t he adminis t ra tor who di f fuses the angry, consoles the hurt , and leads the district t oward cont inuous school improvement . And thanks to the teacher who challenges students , models core values, recognizes individuality, fos-t e r s creat iv i ty , demons t ra tes leadership , and above, all loves his or her job.

We never say "Thank You" often enough. Rose Govig, director

Late Spartan goal tops Rocks B Y C . J . R I S A K S P O R T S E D I T O R c j r i s a k @ o e . h o m e c o m m . n e t

This is the game that has, since the inception of the Western Lakes Activities Association, decided who would represent the Lakes Division in the WLAA championship match.

On Wednesday at Livonia Stevenson, neither the host team nor Plymouth Salem displayed the type of fervor necessary in a game of such magnitude. But the Spartans were able to take advantage of one more opportunity than Salem did, and that resulted in the game's only goal, giving Stevenson a 1-0 victo-ry-

The game-winner came on a play started by Dana White. After getting fouled deep in the Salem end, just inside the right sideline, White quickly got the play restarted, centering the ball into the box.

Salem defenders were nearby, but were caught with their backs to the play. Melissa Dobbyn, a fresh-man forward, reached the ball first and easily beat Rocks' keeper Jill Dombrowski with 4:38 left in the match.

"Dana White saved our butt on that play just out-side our goal, then she came down to this end and got the assist off the restart," said Stevenson coach Jim Kimble. "She played great, but it was a poor perfor-mance for us. I didn't think either team looked that great.

"We definitely didn't deserve to win. We played unenthused, we played completely flat. There weren't very many bright spots tonight."

The win pushed the record of the state's second-ranked team in Division I to 8-1 overall; Stevenson is 2-0 in the Lakes. Salem slipped to 7-2 overall, 2-1 in the division.

"I figured it would be a free kick that would decide it," Rocks' coach Joe Nora said. "As it got close to the end. I just thought it would be a free kick."

Nora wasn't entirely pleased with his team's per-formance, but he did say, "I thought it was a great effort, by both teams," then added, "I didn't say they played real well."

The first 20 minutes of the match were dominated by the Rocks. Salem had several chances to get on the board, but couldn't finish.

Kellee Mullin, a senior, had two of the best oppor-tunities. With 26:15 left in the first half, she found herself alone in front of the Spartan goal, only keeper Katherine Koch in her path. But Mullin couldn't put her shot on net, shooting the ball wide.

With 23:00 left in the second half and the game still scoreless, Mullin again broke in on the left side of the goal, but this time her shot went right at Koch.

There were other missed chances, by both sides. Lindsay Gusick, Stevenson's All-State forward, shot wide of the net on a break with 10:20 remaining, then put a header off the crossbar above Dombrowski

Whalers eliminate Erie It seemed everyone wanted a

piece of the action. And quite a few of them got some.

In a series featuring the top two teams in the Ontario Hockey League, the Plymouth Whalers humbled the regular -season champion Erie Otters, eliminat-ing them in five games.

Indeed, three of Plymouth's four wins came on Erie's home ice. The Whalers finished this season unbeaten at Erie, posting a 5-0-1 record.

The end of the line for the

Otters came last weekend, when the Whalers followed a 6-2 win Saturday at Plymouth's Com-puware Arena with a 7-4 tri-umph Sunday at Erie's Tullio Arena.

That carries Plymouth to its second-consecutive OHL Final, this time against the Ottawa 67s, who won the title in 1999. The best-of-seven championship series starts Saturday at Com-puware.

A dozen players scored points in the Whalers' last two games,

led by Chad Wiseman, who scored th ree goals. Damian Surma contributed two goals and two assists, Kris Vernarsky had two goals and an assist, and Tomas Kurka collected a goal and three assists.

So much for haying a single 'production line*.

As they did throughout the series, the Whalers got in front early in both games and didn't let up. On Sa turday at Com-

sight. They see those Barrie Colts parading around their ice, each player taking turns hoisting the trophy over his head and showing it off to any fans who cared to cheer.

The Whalers could only watch. The Colts had just eliminated Plymouth 4-2 in Game Seven of the OHL Championship Series, and they did it at Compuware

Arena. As well as the Whalers had played throughout the playoffs, they weren't quite experienced enough to handle a team like Bar-rie.

Now they are. Or they should be. On Saturday, the Whalers open their sec-

ond-straight OHL Final by hosting the Ottawa 67s in Game One at 7:30 p.m. Game Two will be at Compuware as well, at 3 p.m. Sunday.

What happened last year can't be forgotten, but Whalers' coach Pete DeBoer1 won't be both-ered by it now. He has Ottawa to draw his attention.

And there's plenty to deal with. True, the 67s didn't enjoy their best season,

at least until recently. They finished second during the regular season in the OHL's East-ern Division. Their final regular-season record was 33-21-10-4; they were the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference when the playoffs started.

None of that means a thing to DeBoer. •'They are a great hockey team, and they have a great tradition," he noted, adding, "They won the Memorial Cup in 1999."

That's what the Whalers would like to take a shot at: winning the Memorial Cup. But first things first. The OHL champ will make that trip.

Salem runs win streak to 6 Knowing the history of success involving

Plymouth Salem's baseball team, it's really no surpr ise to hea r it 's won s ix-s t ra ight games (which it has).

The real surprise is tha t the Rocks are winning without a field to play on.

At the end of the 2000 season, Salem's field was leveled for construction of the new high school, with a promise that a new one would be built and ready to go by the start of this season.

Well, that hasn't happened. The 2001 cam-paign is half over and the Rocks still don't have a home field.

But on Monday, they traveled to Walled Lake Central and hammered out an 11-10 victory over the Vikings, improving their record to 8-4 overall and 3-2 in the Western Lakes Activities Association's Lakes Divi-sion.

"We're pitching pretty well and we're play-ing pret ty good," said Salem coach Dale Rumberger. "We've got eight guys hit t ing over .300, and most of them are hovering around .400. We're hitting .322 as a team."

That kind of hit t ing will win some ball-games, but not as many as good pitching will. Last weekend Salem got both in a dou-ble-header sweep of North Farmington, 11-0 and 5-1, in conference games played at Lans-ing's Oldsmobile Park.

The key hit in the win over Central Mon-day came in the bottom of the f i f th . The Rocks trailed 8-5 going into the inning but

BASEBALI narrowed the gap to 8-7 and had the bases loaded with Chris Trott at the plate.

Trott came through with a two-out, bases-clearing triple that put Salem ahead to stay. He also had a double in the game.

Steve Mezgec had three hits (including a double) and Mike Thackaberry contributed a double and an RBI.

Niel Kowalik worked two innings of relief pitching, allowing two runs on two hits and a walk, to pick up the victory.

Salem 11 -5 , N. Farmington 0 -1 : In t w o WLAA games played in Lansing last Satur-day, Plymouth Salem pitchers allowed just one run on five total hits in getting a sweep.

In the 11-0 opening game, stopped after f ive i n n i n g s by the 10-run mercy rule , Thackaberry gave up two hits and a walk, striking out five to get the win. Jeff Granat took the loss for North Farmington.

Chiefs on rebound, heat Athens, Glenn A corner turned? Perhaps Plymouth Canton 's

soccer team has done just that. On S a t u r d a y a t Can ton , t he Chiefs got a goal from Stephanie Johnson with just :39 remaining in the match to edge defending state champ Troy Athens 2-1.

"She came through with a nice one," said Can ton coach Don Smith, his team improving to 5-

2-1 overall with a 9-1 thrashing of Westland John Glenn Mon-day.

In Saturday 's match against the Red Hawks, a scoreless first half was followed by an exciting second half. Athens got a goal

Repeat possibility? Defending champ Canton aims for another Observerland title

BY RICHARD L. SHOOK STAFF WRITER

It happens every spring. Or at least it's happened every one of the last 30

springs. Saturday will mark the 31st spring for the

Observerland Relays, one of the highlight meets of the track and field season for area high schools.

"It's good for the kids," said Tony Magni, coach of one of the meet favorites, Redford Catholic Cen-tral. "They know each other. They're all basically from the same neighborhood.

"They know what they (each other) can do. It's very competitive, yet there's a lot of mutual respect there.

"As a track and field athlete, you point to a few meets throughout the year. The Observerland is one they like to do well in."

This year's meet will be held at Redford Union's home facility, Hilbert Junior High. Field events start a t 3:30 p.m. followed by the 110-meter hur-dles and 100 dash prelims at 6 p.m. The finals start a t 7 p.m.

Among the favorites — a role nobody seems to want — are defending champion Plymouth Can-ton, CC, Farmington Harrison, Northville and pos-sibly Livonia city champion Churchill.

"What? Us? Catholic Central has to be the favorite," Canton's Bob Richardson protested. "They won the Dearborn Elks; we got fourth.

"Tony's got another good team of distance kids, sprinters, hurdlers and relay teams. What he does-n't have is pole vault. That's where we will proba-bly do well."

Three different schools dominate one of three segments of the meet and how well each of the three poach on the other's turf could determine the winner.

"What we have to do is score points in the field events," Harrison coach John Reed said, "and that 's where Canton is strong and CC, too. CC is real strong in the distance events."

Canton appears strongest in the field events, Harrison dominates the sprint relays while CC is formidable in the distance relays.

The Chiefs won the pole vault last year and returns all three competitors: Jordan Chapman, Brian Page and Kevin Palmer.

"We've got a 14-footer, 12-footer and 11-6," Richardson said. "We should be able to score some pretty good points there. I would say we'll be one of the top three."

Also expected to be among the top three is Churchill, which has three of the top four pole vault heights on the area's top 10 list this spring.

The Chargers' Kevin Peterman (13-9), Howard Whitefoot (12-6) and Frank Baker (12-3) provide coach Rick Austin's team with tremendous balance in the event.

Andrew Ribar and Michael Ghannam also give Churchill the start of a good showing in the discus.

"We have a very young team," Austin said.

"We're still filling holes. But I would never count us out. Anything can happen this year.

"Canton's got a very strong team. They're one of the more balanced teams and that 's what you need to win the Observerland Relays."

Canton won last year's meet with 68 points, edg-ing Harrison by three and CC by six.

"If we do well," Harrison's Reed said, "we can be up there. It will be a real competitive meet."

The Hawks scored heavily in the sprint relays a year ago and figure to do so again.

Harrison won the 400 relay and 800 relay events last season and returns two runners, Agim Shabaj and Marcus Woods, from each foursome. The Hawks' Charles Pickett owns one of the area's 10-best times in the 100 and would be a candidate for at least one relay.

"The kids always run well," Reed said, "because they know it's a big meet.

"(Brian) Coats could do well in the mile. We should get some points in the pole vault; the shot and discus, too. We'll be OK in the long jump.

"We'll score some points in the field events, but we're not one of the top three teams. But, when we get on the track, I expect to be right up there with the best.

"If we do well in the field events, I expect us to be right there."

"I'll take the trophy without even running," CC's Magni chuckled. "I think we're one of maybe three or four teams that have a pretty good shot at it. Obviously we're not the only one.

"We're going to be strong in the distance events again. We'll be down a little bit in the field events, especially the shot and discus. As for the distance events, we'll hold our own there."

CC returns the 1,600 winner, Matt Daly, but he won't defend in a strategic move by Magni to maxi-mize his team's points.

A major threat: Jordan Chapman is a big reason Canton is favored at this week-end's Observerland. Chapman could win the high jump, pole vault or 300 hurdles.

Both Donnie Warner of Plymouth Salem and Churchill's Ryan Gall have posted lower times than Daly in the 1,600 this season.

What Magni is going to do is ask Daly to double up in the distance relays.

"He'll run in the four-mile relay and then come back in the two-mile relay," Magni said. "We're not going to put him in the mile.

"Hopefully he'll be strong enough to do what we ask. We won both (the mile- and two-mile relays) last year with basically the same kids in each event. We lost two from last year, so hopefully putting Matt in there could make us as strong."

The Shamrocks will look for points in the hur-dles from Tom Grant and in the 100-meter dash from Randell Means.

Richardson wanted no part of the favorite's role. "To call us the favorite," he said, "that's the kiss

of death. But we'll be one of the front-runners, I do believe that.

"We're not as strong (in the high jump) as last year, but we should place well in it. But we do have Chapman, plus a couple of freshmen and a sophomore.

"We should do fairly well in the long jump; we've

got a couple of guys in the 20s, plus a couple other at almost 19 we're picking from.

"Our shot and discus people are coming on. Hopefully, things will fall into place for us."

Canton has Brad Waidmann and Just in Bailey among the area's top-10 high jumpers and Ken Page coming on in the long jump.

CC's Grant has the best time in the 100-meter hurdles (15.1) and is the highest returning finisher from last year, when he placed sixth.

Favorite in the 100 is last year's winner, Darryl Anglin of Redford Bishop Borgess. He's got the best time in Observerland for the event, a 10.6 that is .3 under his winning time for last season.

Another contender will be Clarenceville's Tim Shaw, who won the Livonia City titles in the 100 and 200. He also finished second in the long jump. This is Clarenceville's first appearance in over 20 years.

"It's always great to see the kids' names in the paper," Magni said. "Canton is probably the favorite with all their speed". I know Bob may not think so, though."

They may not agree on the favorite, but they do agree it's going to be another quality meet.

Salem rolls to win over W.L. Central

Plymouth Salem improved its Western Lakes Activities Associ-a t ion dua l -meet record to 3-0 with a 197-222 win over Walled Lake Central Monday at Bogey Lake Golf Course.

Brighton best at Lady Chiefs One t h i n g was clear a t last

Saturday's 11-team Lady Chiefs Relays: Brighton was by far the top team.

The Bulldogs scored 102 points to eas i ly ou td i s t ance second-place Dearborn Divine Child's 59. Dearborn was third with 57, followed by Walled Lake Cen-tral's 49, Livonia Churchill's 44, Plymouth Canton's 37, Westland John Glenn's 34, Livonia Lady-wood's 22, Adrian's 13, Plymouth Salem's 10 and Harpe r Woods Regina's nine.

Four meet records were set, and Churchill set two of them.

The Cha rge r s ' 4x3,200-meter re lay t eam of Susan Duncan, Lindsay Gould, Nicole Renaud and Rachel Wadyke set one and their pole vault team set another (25-feet, 6-inches).

Divine Child's distance medley also set a new record (13:00.5) and C e n t r a l ' s s p r i n t medley relay did, too (3:00.4).

Brighton's wins came in the 4x400 relay (4:16.0), the 4x300 hurdles (3:26.6), the 4x800 relay

(10:04.0), the h igh j u m p relay (14-4) and the long jump relay (45-8 1/2).

John Glenn f inished f i r s t in three events: the 4x200 (1:48.9), the 4x100 (51.8) and the throw-er's relay (1:00.8). Ladywood also h a d a win in t he discus relay (262-8), while Divine Child got a second win in the shot put relay (88-10) and Central had a first in the shuttle hurdle relay (1:11.0).

Madonna stumbles It been an up-and-down

stretch for Madonna University's Softball team — mostly down.

Playing eight games in four days, the Lady Crusaders bounced back from double-head-er losses Friday to Siena Heights and Saturday to Cornerstone University o sweep a twinbill Sunday from Indiana Tech Sun-day at Livonia Ladywood.

But oil Monday, Cornerstone took two more from Madonna, 3-0 and 5-2, also played at Lady-wood.

Madonna's record has slipped to. 17-33 overall, 9-19 in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Con-ference. Cornerstone is 28-11 overall, 20-8 in the WHAC; Tech slipped to 10-33 overall, 3-25 in tKe WHAC with Sunday's losses.

In Monday's first game against the Golden Eagles, t he Cru-saders surrendered three runs in the first two innings and never recovered. Two of those runs came in the first inning; so did five of Cornerstone's six hits.

Jenny Tenyer took the loss, falling to 7-14; she gave up all three runs (two earned) and all six hits, without a walk and two strikeouts. Tarrah Brown start-ed and got the win (16-3), pitch-ing four shutout innings and allowing four hits while striking out six.

Kristy McDonald (from Red-ford Thurston) had two hits for Madonna.

In the second game, the Cru-saders run-scoring woes against Cornerstone continued — for six innings. They managed to score two in the seventh, but it was too little, too late.

Missy VanDoorn had two of Madonna ' s six h i t s . Angela Litwin (Plymouth Canton) had a double and a run batted in, and Pam Konwinski and Jamie Bobrowski each had doubles.

VanDoorn started and took the loss (she's 9-13), surrendering four runs (three earned) on five h i t s and four walks in 6 2/3 innings. Tracy Paterson (4-3) got the win for Cornerstone with five shutout innings.

Madonna 7-5, Tech 0-4: S u n -day's opener against Tech fea-tured a four-hit shutout pitching performance by Tenyer, who did not walk a batter and struck out three. The loss went to Robin Stillwell, dropping her to 4-14.

Devon Fletcher led the offense with a double and a triple, driv-ing in two runs. Stacie Wilson also had two hits, one a double, with one RBI and Candace Mor-gan contributed a single and two RBI.

In the second game, Madonna had to battle back from a 4-0 defici t , scoring the eventua l game-winning run on a error by Stillwell (playing first base), one of seven miscues in the game by Tech.

Konwinski scored the game-winner, reaching first on a base hit, being sacrificed to second by Meghan Quinn, and scoring when Morgan grounded out to short and Stillwell tried to throw back and get Konwinski.

The Crusaders had just three hits in the game, and the other

two were doubles by VanDoorn and Fletcher, VanDoorn scoring two runs and Fletcher driving in one.

Kris t ie Givens s t a r t ed for Madonna, but af ter giving up four runs (one earned) on five hi ts and two walks in 2 1/3 innings, VanDoorn replaced her. VanDoorn allowed just two hits and a walk in pi tching 4 2/3 scoreless innings to earn the win. Danielle Archer started and took the loss for the Warriors.

Ottawa outlook from D1

Despite Plymouth's seemingly overwhelming superiority — the Whalers had the OHL's second-best record during the season at 43-15-5-5, and tha t included a 2-0 record against Ottawa — this series could once again go the distance.

• In 14 playoff games, the 67s have gone 12-2. In 13 playoff games, Plymouth has gone 12-1.

• Both teams have scored 60 playoff goals; the Whalers have allowed 32, Ottawa has given up 33.

• Ottawa is 7-0 at home dur-ing the playoffs, 5-2 on the road. Plymouth is 7-0 on the road, 5-1 at home.

"They have four lines of depth they can t h r o w a t you," sa id DeBoer of Ottawa. "Their goal-t ende r ha s been ou t s t and ing , and they have the leading scor-ing defenseman in Jon Zion. He's a very good offensive defense-man."

The Whalers have been getting it done in the playoffs by using all their resources and relying on the abilities of goalie Rob Zepp. During the regular season, Zepp had the advantage over the 67s' Seamus Kotyk statistically, post-ing a 34-18-3 record with a 2.26 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage.

Kotyk was 24-20-7 with a 2.74 goals-against average and a .902

save percentage. But in the playoffs, Kotyk has

been impressive, posting a 12-2 mark with a 2.23 goals-against average and a league-best .925 save pe r cen t age , wi th two

s h u t o u t s . Zepp hasn ' t been qui te as s h a r p , although he is 12-1 with one shutout and a 2.54 g o a l s -

a g a i n s t

average, but a save per-cen tage of just .895.

ducers are Joe Talbot (39 goals, 40 assists, 79 points during the regular season), Zion (22-51/73), Miguel Delisle (34-48/72), Zenon Konopka (20-45/65) and Lance Galbraith (16-40/56).

In the playoffs, it's been Gal-braith who's stepped up with 12 goals and 10 assists (22 points). Talbot (8-9/17), Delisle (6-14/20) and Zion (3-15/18) have been impressive, too.

The Whalers have gotten a lot of scoring from Chad Wiseman, with 10 goals and seven assists (17 points). Stephen Weiss was their leader during the season

(40-47/87), and he's doing pretty well in the playoffs, too (6-15/21). Tomas Kurka (8-12/20) has also played very well.

Stopping what seems like an abundance of scoring and finding a solution to Kotyk are problems, but DeBoer isn't p lanning any spectacular new strategy.

"We want to concent ra te on our own game," he said. "We've been playing very well. If we can play the type of hockey we're capable of playing, we should do well.

"We're looking forward to get-ting started."

With hopes for a more satisfy-ing finish.

Whalers from page D1

puware, Kurka got a goal 5:01 into the opening period; Chris Ber t i t i ed i t a t 1 -a l l for t h e Otters at 14:12 of the first, but Plymouth responded with goals from Vernarsky and Wiseman to take a 3-1 lead after one period.

Nikita Alexeev's short-handed goal at 2:57 of the second made i t a 3-2 game going in to t h e third. But it would get no closer; Wiseman, Vernarsky and Karl Stewart got third-period goals to win going away.

Rob Zepp was in goal most of the way for the Whalers, making 19 stops. Adam Munro s tar ted for Er ie in goal , bu t he was pulled early in the third period and rep laced by J . F . P e r r a s . Each gave up three goals.

•

On Sunday, Plymouth got a goal from Wiseman just 1:28 into the f i r s t period to take a 1-0 lead . However , th i s t ime the O t t e r s b a t t l e d back, scor ing twice in the early moments of the second period — by Cory Pecker and Berti — to go up 2-1.

But the Whalers have made themselves at home in Erie all season, and this was no excep-tion. Stewart, Rob McBride and Libor U s t r n u l each got goals before t he second period was over to give Plymouth a 4-2 lead.

The th i rd period was a wild one. The Whalers scored first, g e t t i n g a goal f rom Damian Surma, to stretch their lead to three. But the Otters charged back wi th m a r k e r s by Brad

Boyes and Pecker and, with 6:37 still left, they trailed by jus t 5-4.

They'would get no closer, how-ever. Cole Jar re t t ' s power-play goal gave Plymouth a two-goal cushion, and Surma scored into an empty net with 1:34 remain-ing. Su rma f in ished w i th two goals and an assist, while Ustr-nul had a goal and two assists.

Zepp stopped 28 shots in goal for the Whalers. Munro started and had 15 saves, allowing five goals, before giving way to Per-ras with 15:42 left in the third.

It was the end of the line for the Otters. For the Whalers, the win presented another shot at some th ing t h a t s l ipped f rom the i r grasp last season — the OHL Cup.

( ) f / " ^ Pernor name may evoke thoughts of a gnome and good taste. Now it may also bring to mind a home with good taste.

That's because the Detroit Historical Society's 2001 Designer Showhouse is at the historic Vaugh-an-Vernor estate in Bloomfield Hills.

James and Grayce Vernor, of the family synony-mous with the famous Detroit ginger ale, lived in the Federal style farmhouse between 1924 and 1941. The residence, now owned by Gunnar and Diane Wilmot, was built in 1839 by the Vaughan family.

Local designers are among those from the Michi-gan Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers who have decorated the house, 4778 Lahser between Lone Pine and Long Lake Road in Bloomfield Hills. It will be open to the public May 5 to June 3.

A gift shop, operated by the Detroit Historical Society Guild, and a cafe with light cuisine catered by Fox & Hounds will be on the grounds. Visitors may attend design seminars which are free with showhouse admission (see listing at right).

I Many of the rooms were j decorated in neutral tones. I Natural elements and their j representation — such as j animal prints •— abound. f Original features are ( retained in many of the I spaces.

Whether cozy or spacious, each room or area has its distinct charm and conveys the comfortable ambiance of a fresh spring day.

Sampling The showhouse entrance will be from the parlor

by two designers from Marshall Field's Interior Design Studio, Linda Thomas at Westland and Rita Whitehead at Oakland.

The design in the taupe wall covering matches the pattern of the metal chandelier. A roman shade is at the window. The area rug and the paintings on the mantel of the stone fireplace feature spots of bright color.

Charfoos Design Group of Bloomfield Hills features a bamboo covering on a tub. Black and white photos of Detroit scenes line the walls.

In the hearth room by Daniel Clancy of Perlmut-ter-Freiwald Inc. of Franklin, creamy drapes hang at the windows, the inside edges bearing a border that includes a color similar to that of the walls.

Among the accents on the table are candlesticks with tall spiraling stems, a subtle suggestion of the drapery borders. The gently curved ceiling is deco-rated with squares of flowery designs.

Bonnie Meyer of Meyer Interiors Inc. of West Bloomfield covered the walls in the kitchen and

morning room in black and white toile.

Much of the kitchen area is in black and white. Banana and sage accents add color in the glass cabi-nets. The morning room is dressed in assorted greens, including the sheer curtains in a right angle at the win-dows and the layered table-cloths.

In the front room in the carriage house, Randie Fed-erman of Maxwell-Ross Associates of Troy combined the lush and the sleek.

Lush is in the greenery throughout the room, includ-ing topiaries, an urn covered in green, plants on a table and fruit-in bowls, as well as in the large chaise and chairs. Sleek is in such fea-

The chauffeur 's room in the c a r r i a g e house by Dan ie l S t e v e n s of Ash I n t e r i o r s of Bloomfield Hills conveys a hint of adventure, with wide stripes on the walls and a bamboo lad-der.

get below 40 degrees. No wonder we have to be care-

ful. Why can't refrigerator man-u f a c t u r e r s ge t t e m p e r a t u r e s lower?

Food safety overlooked According to a home food safe-

ty survey done in 1997 for the U.S. Depar tment of Health by Audits Internat ional , the esti-mated number of cases of food-b o r n e i l l ne s s in t h e Uni ted S t a t e s ranged upward from 6 million annual ly and included more t h a n 9,000 deaths . That represents a wake-up call to all producers of any food handling and refrigeration equipment in this country. Some of these ill-nesses are directly attributable to foods not kept cold enough in storage.

I already know how difficult it

can be to communicate with the app l i ance m a n u f a c t u r e r s on these issues, but w h a t does it take to bring these facts into the minds of homeowners. I firmly believe that we are not educated enough by the media in regards to potential food safety issues.

Auditors categorized kitchen violations as minor , major or critical. A critical violation can potentially lead to foodborne ill-ness by itself. Major violations, though on their own are unlikely to cause foodborne illness, a re frequently cited as contributing factors. To be considered accept-able, homes could have no more than four major violations and no critical violations.

Of the 106 households , sur -veyed, c r o s s - c o n t a m i n a t i o n occurred in 76 p e r c e n t of kitchens, neglected hand wash-

My wife a n d I l e a r n e d a valuable les-

son: Don ' t l eave home wi thout your h o u s e key, even if some-one is home.

W h e n we l e f t t he h o u s e , our k i d s were h o m e . Nor-

HARRY JACHYM m a l l y m Y h o u s e key is

with my car keys, but we took Karen's car. She thought I had my house key and I assumed she had hers . (You know they say about assume.)

We returned home and found tha t even though we could get into the garage, the kids decided to became conscientious and lock the door between the garage and the house.

We thought about a locksmith, but it's a Sunday night. Break-ing glass is messy. I t h o u g h t about drilling out the lock, but remembered my drill was in the basement.

I r e m e m b e r e d I h a d my Sawzall in the garage. Besides, the door really needed replacing anyway.

Replacement is easy Pre-hung doors make replace-

ment fairly simple, but first get a helper.

Remove the existing door from the f rame by pulling the hinge pins or remove the hinges alto-gether, depending on the type.

Remove the interior trim. It's less likely to break if you start p r y i n g w i th a s ix- inch mud (putty) knife and complete the removal with a flat pry bar.

Saw between the framing and the j a m b with a reciprocating saw (Sawzall) and metal cutting blade to sever nails holding the door. Pry the brick-mold (outside trim) away if necessary. Remove screws holding the th resho ld plate to the floor. Slide the old jamb put.

Be certain the new door is cor-rect size, swing and jamb thick-ness. If you're using a lockset and deadbol t , check to make sure it is drilled for them.

Follow tips to install Most r e p l a c e m e n t doors

include instructions that should be fol lowed. If t h e s e a r e n ' t included, the installation should go as follows:

• S l ide t he new door and f rame into the opening. Check tha t the threshold plate is level,

if necessary shim it with wedge-shaped wood.

• Place sh ims be tween t h e f r a m i n g and door j amb at t h e upper and lower hinges and on the lock side oppos i t e t h e s e hinges. Verify tha t the frame is plumb, square and has an even gap between the jamb and door all around.

• Run 3 1/2- inch sc rews th rough the h inge p la tes and jamb into the rough frame at the shim locations. (The traditional way to fasten a door is using 16d finish nails on the lock side, but I l ike us ing s c r e w s because adjustment is easier.)

P lace sh ims a t t h e midd le hinge and lock location and fas-ten as above. Ver i fy t h a t t he door ope ra t e s p r o p e r l y a n d adjust if necessary.

Gent ly s t u f f i n s u l a t i o n between the j a m b and f r ame . Replace the lockset , deadbolt and molding, pu t t y the screw holes and finish.

And most i m p o r t a n t , don ' t leave home without your keys.

ing occurred in 57 percent, and i m p r o p e r cooling of l e f tovers occurred in 29 percent of house-holds with an average of almost three per home. Major violations w e r e observed , such as foods s tored wi thout covers or were imprope r ly t h a w e d . Ki tchen cooks who smoked while prepar-ing food also were observed. In the end, only one house received an acceptable rating. None rated excellent.

Maintaining it The p e r s o n in your home

knows how well they prepare for a safe meal, bu t do they know what the temperature is in the refrigerator section. Very few of you can tell me what the temper-ature is inside the pickle jar sit-t ing on t h a t shelf. Is it impor-tant? You bet it is.

Take care of the refr igerator maintenance and you will have a more eff icient uni t . Have you cleaned the condenser coil under t he r e f r i g e r a t o r la te ly? Only when it is cleaned can you get the maximum cold temperatures in a refrigerator. Are the doors sealing good and t ight? When did you last check them out?

I'm sorry folks, I can' t come over to your house and check out how you prepare a meal. I can write a column that I hope will make you u n d e r s t a n d how important the temperature is in the refrigerator. I can continue to mee t w i t h t h e conce rned members of National Sanitation Foundation in their endeavors to get manufac ture rs to redesign t h e i r p roduc t s to make t h e m colder.

The stamps of approval from

t e s t i n g l abo ra to r i e s a r e very important to all of us as a con-suming public. We all know how i m p o r t a n t proper ly opera t ing . res taurant equipment can be to ;

good hea l th . From the s tudies already , done, it is proven tha t m o s t of t h e m a re s a f e r t h a n some homes-in regards to food p r e p a r a t i o n s . Please t h i n k of = your ref r igera tor th is summer " and keep it running cool. Stay tuned.

Learn about slow release fertilizers GARDEN SPOT

MARTY FIGLEY

We hear more and more about slow-release f e r t i l i z e r s , and many people may wonder jus t wha t th is term means.

L i l l i a n

Dean, coordi-nator of the Southeastern O a k l a n d

C o u n t y

R e s o u r c e Recovery Authori ty Heal thy Lawn and Garden Program, and Greg Patchen, Oakland County Michigan Sta te Univers i ty Extension horticultural agent, explain it this way:

Nitrogen fertilizers are classi-fied as either quick- or slow-release products.

The response from quick-release sources occurs within days after application and is vis-ible through increased growth and greener color.

Disadvantages of quick-release nitrogen include its high-burn potential , short residual and increased potential for leaching, volatility and runoff. The nitro-gen sources in them also have a relat ive high-salt index. The flush of growth lasts a relatively short time with the effects of the nitrogen wearing off within four weeks.

In contrast , slow-release sources discharge nitrogen over an extended period of time.

The major advantages of these products are low-burn potential, lower risk of nitrogen loss, fewer applications and more uniform growth response. Disadvantages include slow in i t ia l p lant response and the need to apply the product in granular form.

Fertilizers with 40 to 50 per-cent slow-release nitrogen are recommended to be labeled as

"slow-release." There are several types:

• Natural organic fertilizers — nitrogen is released through microbial action (microbes are tiny germs in the soil)

• Timed-released, coated fer-tilizers — nitrogen is released as the coating dissolves

• Fertilizers with significant quant i t ies of water-insoluble nitrogen — nitrogen slowly dis-solves in water.

Natural organic materials and some synthetic organic materials depend on microbial decomposi-tion alone. Other syn the t i c organic materials and coated ni trogen products depend on physical and/or chemical pro-cesses in combinat ion wi th microbial activity.

Natural organic fertilizers are derived from remains or by-prod-ucts of plant and animal process-ing industries.

Organic fertilizers require a g rea te r volume of ma te r i a l s because of their low nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus (N-P-K) analysis, but do contribute organic mat te r tha t supports healthy biological activity in the soil system. All organic fertiliz-ers are slow-release.

Suggestions The question: Is fertil izer a

source of lake, river and ground-water pollution?

After much research , "The answer 'It depends' is all tha t can be said," Dean said.

"When used at recommended rates under managed conditions at test plots, there is no evidence tha t nitrogen fer t i l izers con-tribute to water quality prob-lems," she said.

"However, field studies com-pleted in the last several years have documented lawn fertilizer as a source of nutrient in storm water runoff. Nitrogen and phos-phorus, especially, can affect lakes and streams by stimulat-

ing excess algae which depletes, oxygen from the water, thus a degradation of the aquatic habi-ta t for small invertebrate ani-mals and fish."

The Healthy Lawn Program, sponsored by SOCRRA, recom-mends the following:

1. Cut the grass high, leaving 3 inches on the blade after cut-ting, if possible.

2. Water the lawn frequently but lightly — enough so water reaches the roots but without over-watering.

3. Use slow-release fertilizer in accordance with the results of a soil test . Two to four annua l applications are recommended by MSU Extension personnel.

4. Avoid weed-and-feed. Dig weeds by hand, and/or spot treat problem areas. Practice integrat-

e d pest management and search for the least toxic approach.

By following these sugges-tions, the lawn will be healthy and thick, so that it naturally resists insect and disease dam-age.

Roots will also help hold soil in place, reducing soil erosion into s torm sewers , lakes and streams.

Good garden tips R A seedl ing is ready for

planting when its root base is as wide as the plant is high. If the plant's height is greater than the width of the root base, increase its planting depth.

• Want to grow elephant igar-lic? Plant separated cloves base down 2 inches deep as soon as the soil is warm. Fertilize two or three times during the groi season. It needs full sun and of water to develop the cloves.

SANDRA CAMPBELL

Night out with the girls

"Cover your eyes ... now don't peek!", she instructed.

"1 won't," I promised. With my head buried into the old oak tree I began to count slowly. "One, two, three, four..." I could hear everyone scurrying around. Their footsteps faded away and then I was alone.

Forty years later, my writing group, "ThreeOlBags" was getting ready to celebrate summer. We're all from Garden City — Linda Sparkman, edi-tor of "ThreeOlBags," and me (Sandra Campbel l ) the bag 's rough d ra f t writer — were planning to hold down the fort in Michigan and work on get-t i ng our f i r s t a r t ic le publ ished. Sharon Hegwood, the bag's photogra-pher, was heading off to spend sum-mer vacation at her childhood home in Crescent City, Ca., with a side-trip to Alaska!

To ce lebra te Sha ron ' s sendoff, Linda planned a surprise going-away activity for our group. Big secret. Sharon and Linda picked me up about 6 p.m. I was the only one who was clueless about where we were going because Sharon was driving so she already knew our final destination.

"Now cover your eyes," said Sharon as we approached Westland Shopping Center.

"Don't peek," added Linda. Final ly our vehicle stopped and

they said, "OK, now you can look." When my eyes finally focused I saw

a neon sign that read, "Laser Quest." Sharon was a little chagrined at the

idea, but I was totally ecstatic. "Don't you think we're a little old to be run-ning around shooting each other?" Sharon asked.

"No way!" I shouted. "I've been wanting to do this forever!"

For the past few years, I'd listened to my teenagers announce, "See ya later, Mom. We're going to play laser tag."

Breaking the mold Laser tag is Generation X's answer

to the Baby Boomer's hide and seek. It's a high-tech, fast-paced version ... in the dark! I always envied them and now it was finally my turn.

"Ea t your hea r t s out, boys! I t 's Mama's time to rock! Let's go!" I said.

We arrived at Laser Quest in West-land and stood in line with a bunch of 10-year-old boys. We each had to choose a secret code name. Mine was Waldo. Get it? Where's Waldo? Oh you get it. Sharon's was Drizzt and Linda's was "Mudda" (she's mother to six wonderful children).

We were led into the briefing room where we were required to shout out the "code of honor" (rules of play) to our leader, the "Marshal." "I WILL NOT RUN, JUMP OR CLIMB", the Marshal yelled. Our group replied in military-style unison, "I WILL NOT RUN, J U M P OR CLIMB. I WILL NOT USE OFFENSIVE LAN-GUAGE," to which we replied ... oh you get the idea. Then, we went into the "airlock" where we were assigned our gear: Flashing helmet, flashing vest, and best of all, laser guns.

I could hardly wait. The Marshall gave us instructions and let us each have a 10 second head start into the blackened maze. The hunt was on!

I began by inching my way across the floor, up the ramp, and onto the overlook. I zapped everyone right and left from my hidden perch above the main floor. I never did see Linda or Sharon, but I was having a "blast" zapping those 10-year-old boy sol-diers. This was exhilarating. Fastest 20 minutes I've spent in a long time.

It seems Linda got worried because she couldn't find me. She began call-ing out my name and even went to ask the Marshal if anyone had left the area. "No one went out the door," he assured her.

When the buzzer sounded, we made our way back to the "Exit" sign. Sharon was exhausted. Linda was a basket case, overcome with anxiety fearing the worst for her lost friend, and I was pumped! The ThreeOlBags had a riot. We compared score sheets with our opponents, (those wicked 10-year-olds) and agreed we needed more practice.

After our spirited game of laser tag we headed to Mancino's in Westland where we laughed our way through a large pizza and wondered why we had waited so long to some fun!

Ladies, we'd like to suggest you leave the guys at home, get the girls together, and go get 'em!

HOMETOWN LIFE

WRC bids goodbye to longtime staffers

New arrivals

BY KIMBERLY A. MORTSON STAFF WRITER kmortson@oe.homecomm.net

Not only is the Women's Resource Center a value to the students of Schoolcraft College, it's been a priceless resource for two staff members who

have not only found careers there, but friendship as well.

"I have received so much encouragement in this office. I am finding it hard to think about leaving," said Elaine Tomalty, who retired last week from her position as WRC secretary.

Women's Resource Center director Nancy Swan-borg was faced with having two longtime staff mem-bers retire this spring as Barbara Campau also announced her plans to retire in June.

"There has been and will be lots of tears," said Swanborg.

Tomalty, a Northville resident, said an ad in the Observer in 1987 prompted her to apply for the posi-tion of secretary. She took the job when her children became of age to at tend college for "some extra money."

"I could have left about five or six years ago, but I found it too hard to even think about leaving," said Tomalty, whose husband also retired from School-craft College in 2000 after 30 years of service. "It's my time now to join him."

Mixed feelings As if the announcement tha t one longtime staff

member was leaving wasn't enough, Campau said she told Swanborg in March she'd be retiring from her position as coordinator of volunteer services of the WRC. Campau said she was hired for the job in August 1987 having previously served as a volunteer there since 1984. "I had been a stay-at-home mom, and I eventually reached the point where I felt confi-dent to look in the community to find something else to do," said Campau. "I have a background in educa-tion and social work, and this job seemed to feed into that."

Having worked closely with both women since she came to Schoolcraft College five years ago, Swanborg said their departure will be a tremendous loss to the Women's Resource Center and the college.

"I can't even begin to tell you what a sense of loss this is," said Swanborg. "Whoever steps in will bring their own gifts, and we can't discount what they bring because that will be a gift in itself, but the accumulated knowledge and experience both these women possess totals more than 30 years."

Tomalty said while her retiring leaves her heavy-hearted, she's looking forward to traveling with her husband. Her colleague, whose last day is June 29, is also looking forward to traveling, spending more time with her family and of the upcoming birth of twin

grandchildren. "I'll have a lot to keep me busy. There's a lot of pro-

jects that I'm looking forward to getting done, too," said Campau a Livonia resident. "But I look at this place as a gift. The clients that come here have been a gift in my life. It's a great place to work ... it's like no other place."

Valued employees John Tomey, dean of Student Services at School-

craft College, said he's had the pleasure of working with both Tomalty and Campau throughout the years. "Elaine is the consummate professional," said Tomey. "She's the glue that keeps that office together and has always been a friendly and knowledgeable resource for the staff and s tudents who use the Women's Resource Center."

He went on to note that Campau's retirement will be a great void for the volunteers she works with on a

daily basis. "The growth of the Women's Resource Center and

the number of clients they are able to serve speaks to Barb's commitment to the department and the people she coordinates. She has a personal connection with each of the volunteers, and that's been of great value to the staff and clients."

Swanborg said a special Schoolcraft College tea will be held in the women's honor later this month to recognize their accomplishments and honor their retirement.

"Change is the one thing that is constant in our lives. It's really important for us to recognize that the only thing we can do about change is embrace it. I could go on and on about Barb and Elaine leaving, but I'm truly happy for them and will genuinely miss them as colleagues and friends. I do have to say though, the door is always open if they want to come back," said Swanborg.

Organization passionate about cause BY KIMBERLY A . MORTSON STAFF WRITER kmortson@oe.homecomm.net

Greg Adair believes in divine inter-vention. He is sure there was a rea-son he sat next to the Rev. Edward H. Einem at a dinner party last spring.

Adair said he noticed Einem carry-ing around a severely impaired young person and later found himself sitting down next to them at the only avail-able seat in the room.

"We started talking about our pro-fessions and he told me he ran an organization called Project Compas-sion," recalled Adair. "It was at that very moment that I knew why I was there, sitting next to him, and not someone else. To be honest I didn't real ly know anybody t he r e and I found myself si t t ing next to Rev. Einem. There was a reason for that."

The Detroit minister is the founder of an organization tha t meets the needs of nursing home pat ients by providing one-on-one volunteer visita-tions from chaplains/volunteers, one-day patient outings through a pro-gram called God's Love Bus and three-day respite trips for long-term nursing home residents.

Adair , a Livonia b u s i n e s s m a n , founded Affordable Home Care in 1989 a f te r having been a nu r s ing home administrator for 10 years. His company provides day and night , basic needs care (personal care, cook-ing, housekeeping) for clients who aren ' t ready to enter the nu r s ing home setting.

"If we can keep an individual in their home their quali ty of life is much more improved," said Adair, a Novi resident.

Knowing the needs of nursing home patients from more than a decade of experience in the field, Adair sees the value a program like Project Compas-sion can provide to men and women who are often forgotten once they enter an extended care facility.

"This is an awesome cause. We all may be faced with relying on someone to care for us or be in a wheelchair one day and that's something people don't want to talk about," said Adair. "Project Compassion serves to break the monotony and depression elder people often feel in a nursing home."

After exchanging business cards, Adair pledged he'd do what he could to become involved with t h e Rev. Einem's organization. Over the last year Adair has done just that. Project Compassion program coordinator Jen-

nie Boyd refers to Adair as a "one-man committee."

"He's just amazing. He came in and wanted to know how he could help and he's never stopped asking," said Boyd. "He's a member of our board of directors, he is our planning commit-tee and he's helped us to identify additional funding resources."

Since 1972, the spiritually based organization Project Compassion, has expanded from promoting spiritual support , encouragement and hope within nursing homes to a three-day vacation program offered to nursing home facilities throughout southeast-ern Michigan.

Adair is now serving to revitalize the vacation program that was dis-continued due to a lack of funding.

" Jenn ie has been doing a lot of grant writing in hopes of breathing new l ife into the program," said Adair. "We really count on fund-rais-ing and donations to keep a program like this going." Project Compassion depends upon public contributions and grants for approximately half of its operating revenue.

The three-day vacation program involves two nights and three days away from an institutional setting — something says Adair — many people have not been able to enjoy for years.

The camp program was offered at Camp Cavell, a r e t r ea t center on Lake Huron north of Port Huron for

six years. "I know how depressing it is for

people who reside in a nursing home," stated Adair. "That's why Affordable Home Care offers live-in services as a way to keep people home. But for those who must reside in nurs ing homes, even three days away from the facility makes such a big impact."

Beginning in June and runn ing through September, Boyd has been able to reschedule three-day camps for the summer. Transportat ion is provided by Project Compassion as well a program director and certified camp health officer.

While Project Compassion coordina-tors would like to see everyone take advantage of the three-day respite it's not always possible. That's why God's Love Bus program was created to pro-vide one-day outings to places like baseball games, picnics, and shopping centers.

"I do this because it's all worth it when I realize the profound uplifting effect being in na tu re has on the campers. My only regret is tha t we don't have enough in contributions for the thousands of indigent pat ients who would benefit from this experi-ence," said Adair.

For information about donations and endowments as well as volunteer opportunities call Project Compassion, (313) 832-7850.

Montessori plans reunion BY KIMBERLY A. MORTSON STAFF WRITER kmortson@oeJbomecomm.net

Sister Mary Pauli ta wanted to do something special to mark the 25th anniversary of The Montessori Center of Our Lady in Livonia.

"It will be really exciting to see all our former students. I'm sure many of them are married and have their own children now," said Sister Paulita who came to live in the Felician Mother House in 1948 as a postulate.

The Livonia school was founded^ in January of 1976 by Sister Paulita with just five children in the first class. "I was the only teacher. By June of th^t year there were 14 students in class and the following school year we were up to 24 students." *

The 25th anniversary picnic on Ju|ie 3 is being organized by Sister Pa\ and co-chairwomen/parents Mich< Carrier and Rita McCotter. The school is hoping former and current students and their families will attend as well as past faculty members. I

"Hopefully we'll have quite a few peo-ple come out. I know there are a lot of different families that we are looking forward to seeing," said Carrier a Livo-nia resident.

Light refreshments (hot dogs, pop, ice cream) will be served under a tent on the school grounds. Shiranthi DeSil-va, a Montessori teacher will provide music.

History Before starting the Livonia school,

Sister Paulita attended Xavier Univer-sity in Cincinnati where she received; a bachelor's degree in education with a concentration in Montessori in 1975.

"I spent the next eight months gath-ering materials and furniture to start the school on the campus of the Feji-cian Sisters," said Sister Paulita who now serves as director/administrator.®

Today, the Montessori operates a t capacity with a long waiting list. "We have 80 students in the morning and 80 students in the afternoon clas£," said Sister Paulita. '

"The basic foundation of the school; is the same, the philosophy is the same and we are still carrying on Maria Montessori's methods of teaching," said Sister Paulita.

The Montessori Center of Our Lady (36800 Schoolcraft) in Livonia will hold the picnic from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, June 3. Please RSVP if $pu would like to attend by calling (734) 591-1599.

Do you ever realize that when you awake each morning, God has given you another wonderful day to rejoice and celebrate the gift of life? Rather than thinking about all the things we want to get done, spending a moment "counting our blessings" before we face the day might help us be more mindful of how good God has been to us! We all have an occasional tendency \ to be overly concerned about inconsequential things instead of focusing on what is really important in our lives and each new day gives us the opportunity to change that.

For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to ail generations. R.S.V. Psalm 100:5

PLYMOUTH ORATORIO SOCIETY REGROUPS MOZART 'REQUIEM §-

!

STAFF PHOTOS BY PAUL HUBSCHMANN

Three's a charm: The Plymouth Oratorio Society will perform Mozart's Requiem for a third time this season. They first sang the work earlier this year at Orchestra Hall.

BY LINDA ANN CHOMIN STAFF WRITER lchomin@oe.homecomm.net

If it's true that the third time's the charm, Leonard Riccinto expects the Plymouth Orato-rio's Society's May 5 performance of Mozart's

Requiem to be as thrilling as when the group first sang the haunting and uplifting work at Orches-tra Hall in March.

The move to a religious venue with its particu-lar set of acoustics, a different configuration of vocalists and accompaniment by the Michigan Sinfonietta Orchestra, is certain to lead to the resurrection of a moving, polished version of the piece originally commissioned in the middle of the night by a mysterious stranger.

The Plymouth Oratorio Society originally pre-sented Mozart's final work with the Detroit Sym-phony Civic Orchestra, under director Charles Burke, and the Eastern Michigan University Choir, then reinvented it with the EMU Choir on Palm Sunday. On Saturday evening the glorious sound will fill the sanctuary of First United Methodist Church in Plymouth, an appropriate space for the composition based on the Mass for the Dead.

Beeper insight "Anytime you repeat a work you have insight

into the music, the compositional style," said Ric-cinto, who directs choral activities at Eastern Michigan University. "For the singers it's an opportunity to attain another level of under-standing. You can only increase the quality of performance because the more you do it, the bet-ter you get at it.

"The Requiem always challenges. To come alive under each circumstance: acoustics, musicians ~ choral and orchestral, it's a challenge to bring it all together."

Carol Briner cut her vacation short just to per-form the Requiem at Orchestra Hall.

"It was the ultimate thrill," said Briner, a Can- • ton resident who began singing with the Ply-mouth Oratorio Society 10 years ago. "I came back a day early from vacation and I was so tired but when I got up on stage, just being there with that many singers and the acoustics, it was unbe-lievable."

"You could hear the blending of voices so well and it sounded like one voice," added Jane Sauchak at a rehearsal in Plymouth on April 30. "Everyone agreed it was a once in a lifetime experience."

Delightful was the word George Mozurkewich used to describe that first con-cert.

"The acoustics were won-derful," said Mozurkewich of Plymouth, "and the con-ductor wa» fiui."

Measure for measure Stewart Work thought

every measure of the work as exciting as Briner and

Sauchak even though he's sung at Carnegie Hall. A chemistry teacher at Eastern Michigan Univer-sity, Work sings with the all-male choir Measure for Measure, based in Ann Arbor under the direc-tion of Riccinto. He and his wife Carolyn joined the Plymouth Oratorio Society just to sing Mozart's Requiem.

"We wanted to do it because we listened to it for years," said Work. "It's some of the greatest music ever written. And it was very exciting to have that many people and to have things togeth-er the night of the concert."

"It was fun working with the kids in the orchestra," added Carolyn, "and it was exciting because of the history of the hall and the fight to save it."

Anticipation Don Prat t never tires of the opportunity to sing

a great work whether it's at Orchestra Hall or First United Methodist Church in Plymouth. The Canton tenor originally joined the Plymouth Ora-torio Society simply for the sake of performing choral masterworks. In addition to singing the Mozart Requiem, Prat t is looking forward to opening the May 5 program with J.S. Bach's Motet #3. Composed for the funeral of the widow of a head postmaster in Leipzig, Germany in

1723,the work was usu-ally per-formed with-out instru-mental accom-paniment until research over the last 25 years proved it was not always done a cappel-la. The Ply-mouth Orato-rio Society will use strings and organ as sup-port for the chorale stan-zas intermin-gled with fugue like sec-tions.

i

Spiritual work: Conductor Leonard Riccinto looks

Orches- over the score before a Ply-mouth Oratorio Society rehearsal.

tra Hall con-cert was a great program with 185 in a combined chorus," said Pratt , a math teacher at Huron High School in Ann Arbor. "One of my for-mer students was a bassoon player in the orches-tra and another a soprano in the Eastern Michi-gan University Choir. We had a good time. My mom and dad were there. (Robert Pra t t founded the Plymouth Oratorio Society and conducted it for many years). The concert was terrific.

"When you do Mozart's Requiem it's all a high-light. You have to do the Requiem a whole lot of times to get tired of it."

Riccinto is hoping his singers feel the same way about Beethoven's Ninth Symphony next seasoji. Burke has invited the group back to Orchestra Hall next March. The week before, they'll join the Plymouth Symphony Orchestra to perform the same work. By the time, they sing the Beethoven in May at First United Methodist, practice will have made perfect.

art wind up behind CPOP's doors Feeling 7-feet tali: Shepard Fairey's coinciding exhibition, "Destroyer features a body of work based on images of propaganda such as this one, often featuring the likeness of the late pro-wrestler Andre The Giant.

BY STEPHANIE ANGELYN CASOLA STAFF WRITER scasola@oe.homecomm.net

Shepard Fairey never met Andre The Giant. He wasn't even a fan of the World Wrest l ing Federation's most famous face. But the 31-year-old San Diego street artist made a name for himself by spreading the l a t e wres t l e r ' s image across the globe.

"A friend cf mine wanted to learn how to do stencils," said Fairey, dur-ing a phone interview from his California-based BLK/MRKT design agency. "I was look-ing through the paper and came across this ad with Andre The Giant in it."

Pet project Fairey created the first version of this image

and made sticker copies of it at a local Kinko's. He declared to his skate board buddies what would lead to a wor ld-wide phenomenon "Andre The Giant has a Posse." What started' out as a joke among friends about the 7-foot-4, 520 pound pro wrestler manifested into some-thing beyond his imagination.

Strong performances captivate audience in 'Stalag 17' Farmington Players present

"Stalag 17," 8 p.m. Friday-Sat-urday, through May 19 at Barnes & Noble, West Bloomfield. Tick-ets $12, call (248) 553-2955. BY BOB WEIBEL SPECIAL WRITER

The Farmington Players pro-duction of Stalag 17 dramatical-ly brings to life the story of men who lived a less well-known World War II experience than those popular ized in Tom Brokaw's highly acclaimed The Greatest Generation. In case you missed the hit 1953 movie ver-sion, Stalag 17 is the story of air-men in a German POW camp.

Playwrights Donald Bevan

and Edmund Trzcinski were two of those prisoners. They portray the struggle for survival in a brutal environment - and the never-ending dreams of escape -against the dark comedy that men engage in to get through another day. Though the small talk is sometimes a bit forced and not spontaneous, the cast humorously gripe about the rot-ten food, lack of showers, mail, women, etcetera. What carries the play, however, is the sus-pense of learning who among these men is a snitch - an Amer-ican who would sell out to the Nazis!

Two prisoners have been shot attempting to escape, and some-

one in the barracks must have t ipped off the Germans . The most likely suspect appears to be Sefton (Kirk Haas) who openly trades cigarettes for small favors from the guards.

Haas, in voice and manner-isms, creates a sympathe t ic loner from the working class sec-tion of Boston. Not educated, but street-smart, he will play what-ever games it takes to make it (Isn't tha t the way the world works?)

Who's the traitor? But whatever else he may be,

Sefton is no traitor. And one has the impression that he has expe-rienced the terror of war, some-

thing tha t is lacking in some other characters. Ross Gross-man, t h a n k f u l l y has t h a t demeanor, and he effectively plays Dunbar (from a wealthy and connected Boston family). A class s t ruggle develops wi th Sefton, but when the Germans put Dunbar on trial for sabotage, Sefton and others plan his escape (of course, Sefton has. his own ulterior motives).

Jeff Miller , very ta l l , very blond, very American-looking, and very good as Price the air-man in charge of barracks secu-ri ty couldn' t possibly be the agent , could he? What about John'Boufford, as Stosh, who provides most of the comedy?

Then, there is John Yono, as the wise-cracking Marko, who deliv-ers prison news. Could it even be the ba r racks leader , Hoffy, played in a no-nonsense style by Fred Karn? By the end of act one it is clear who the culprit is. The only question is how will the oth-ers react, including the Ger-mans. Bob Liegle (S.S. Guard), Darko Martinowsky (S.S. Offi-cer) and Alan Madeleine (guard Shultz) create a terrific ensem-ble for the others to play off. Madeleine gives Shultz a very human quality, and little of the sil l iness associated wi th the Shultz character in the dopey sitcom Hogan's Hero's. In stark contrast to the underbelly of war

comes "The Geneva Man" a civil-ian inspector, all dressed in fine clothes and played superbly by Brett Mlinek. He underscores the p re tense and charade of international politics.

Director Hank Bennett does a fine job in marshaling a large cast of 17 men (he even plays a small role himself) and getting s trong performance from key roles. Others in the play include Joe Wachowski, Matt Yanke, Joe Marzka , Aaron Brown, J im Jernigan and Bruce Madsen.

Player Guild's 'Forum' laugh until you cry funny CPOP from page B1

Players Guild of Dearborn pre-sents "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum' through Saturday, May 19. Per-formances 8 p.m. Friday-Satur-day, and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, May 6, May 13, at the theater, 21730 Madison, southeast corner of Monroe and Outer Drive, in Dearborn. Tickets, $14, call (313) 561-TKTS. BY SUE SUCHYTA SPECIAL WRITER

If laughter is t ruly the best medicine, the Players Guild of Dearborn 's product ion of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum will cure wha tever ails you. Forum is "laugh until you cry" funny and a definite "must see" production.

Director Lisa Andres of Livo-nia has made the most of an a l ready funny show with a superb cast, clever site gags, physical humor, and a fast-paced and lively production.

Pseudolus, a clever but frus-trated slave, longs for his free-dom. When his master, Hero, falls in love with a beautiful but

dim-witted virgin courtesan, Philia, Pseudolus offers to win her for Hero in exchange for his freedom. All that stands in Pseu-dolus' way are the Captain to whom Phil ia has been sold, Hero's lecherous father and over-bearing mother, a reluctant fel-low slave and accomplice, and a host of courtesans and proteans ready to engage in fast-paced comedy and burlesque-style humor.

Great timing Brian Townsend of Plymouth

brings energy, talent and a great sense of t iming to the role of Pseudolus, the original con man. As his deceptions begin to pile up and the plot thickens, the laughter reaches a frantic pace as well. Townsend is the juggler that keeps it going from one sub-terfuge to another with ease and comic skill. A consummate showman, he sings as well as he acts, and his animated expres-sions alone can precipi tate laughter.

The ta len ted team of Ron Williams Jr. of Redford as Hero

and Brooke Andres of Livonia as Philia are well-matched pair of starry-eyed innocents falling in love for the first time. Andres is as talented a singer as she is an actress, as she demonstrates in her strong solo, "That'll Show Him."

Senex, .Hero 's lascivious father, is played with canny tim-ing and comic finesse by Joe Donovan of Farmington Hills. His duet "Impossible," sung with his son Hero while both are spec-ulating about a romantic ren-dezvous with Philia, is an amus-ing ode to the generation gap.

Senex's comic foil, his over-bearing wife Domina, is played with rapacious delight by Denise Kowalski-Albright.

Getting laughs Bob Jones holds the prize for

evoking the most laughter as Hysterium, the nervous servant caught up in Pseudolus ' schemes. When he attempts to masquerade as the courtesan Philia to help her evade the cap-tain, the laughter reaches its zenith. Imagine Jack Benny in a

white gown, Farrah Fawcett wig and holding a lily and you begin to get the picture. Jones' expres-sions are priceless, and his tim-ing superb.

Mark Byars of Garden City played Miles Gloriosus with nar-cissist ic aplomb. He's the Roman version of Arnold Swartzenager with three protean stooges nipping at his heels. Bob Walker of Westland plays the small but crucial role of Erronius wi th the t a l en ted touch of a straight man.

The entire ensemble of courte-sans and proteans provide many of the sight gags and much of the slapstick. Their strength as a chorus made the show complete.

Musical Director Bob Ballard pulled toge ther a show so smooth he made it seem easy. Jane Ripper's costumes brought the show to life. Steve Gau t reau ' s wizardry in the lights and sound deck added to the comic humor.

- J imi Hendrix, Kiss - I'd do Andre as Sid Vicious, Andre as Gene" Simmons, in Neil Arm-strong's first moon landing," he said. "When he died I wrote 'Wrest in Peace.'"

Not everyone embraced this art, essentially a form of graffiti. But Fairey has always main-tained his work is a resul t of "phenomenology" - the process of letting something manifest itself.

Sure, he's gotten into trouble. "I've been arrested eight times," he said. "I don't do anything on private property. I defini tely have ethics about where I'll put my stuff."

The CPOP exhibition will offer more exposure for Fairey and the images that are making him an industry giant. "For a lot of people, my stuff is still mysteri-ous," he said.

'Hitching* on David Williams, the post-pop

a r t i s t behind The David Williams Variety Show will pre-sent work along with Fairey this May. His show also comes under a veil of mystery. Born in the small town of Ashland, Ky. and now a cr i t ical ly-acclaimed painter living in St. Petersburg, Fla., Williams has never shown his work in the Detroit area.

"We put shows together with-out any kind of matching," said CPOP's artistic director Carrie Hazel, a native of West Bloom-field. "They always seem to have some common bond. Here I think its commercialism and the con-stant reproduction of images."

It is j u s t one of abou£ 36 pieces. His collection also con-sists of 20 works on paper. "It frees me up a little bit," said Williams. "It's just paper. If I don't like it I can tear it up and use it somewhere else."

Like Fairey, Williams got an early start. Thanks to an influ-ential elementary school teacher, he was guided to an apprentice-ship with a local ar t i s t , Fred Rigsby, which proved invaluable.

He enrolled at Ashland Com-munity College with the inten-tions to study architecture, but soon joined his art school friends at Eastern Kentucky University

where he earned a degree in painting and illustration. After graduation, Williams was hired as a full time illustrator, a posi-t ion t h a t calmed his parents fears he might become "a starr-ing artist." The job led him to work as a graphic illustrator at the St. Petersburg Times, where continues to work today.

"Almost seven years ago I real-ized I hadn't painted anything for myself," he said. "I got side-tracked." At 34, Williams set up his studio and went to work. But the print medium left an indeli-ble m a r k on his work. The decade he'd spent as an illustra-tor served as constant inspira-tion for the art he would create.

As a boy Williams spent sum-. mers at his grandfather's farm. On ra iny days, when he was stuck inside, he sorted through magazine ads in Woman's Day and Popular Mechanics and copied the images. The essence of those kitschy ads flow through . his paintings and are present in an entirely new way.

His paintings are read like a. pictogram, piecing together ele-ments. The work in this show is derived from about five different series, hence the "variety" title, and was created from 1999 to; the present, Several paintings' reflect his tendency to rethink _ the familiar. Re-Packaged Toy Car, Re-Packaged Frozen Treat and Re-Packaged Fighter Game take Hot Wheels toy cars, Popsi-; cles and Rock 'em, Sock 'em; Robots to a whole other level. ;

Instead of aiming the advertis-ing of toys for children, Williams covers them in bar codes, alter-, ing the relationship between the; packaging and i ts ideal con-, sumer. ;

That's perhaps .the universal' l ink between Williams and> Fairey. They use ar t to show! something brand-new. They force us to seek out our own meanings in imagery we once thought familiar. They leave our minds forever marked with these new discoveries. Both Destroyer and The David Williams Variety Show run through May 28 at CPOP Gallery.

BY MIKE MURPHY SPECIAL WRITER

The Trinity House production of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew begs the questions: Will she or won't she? Should she or shouldn't she?

Be tamed, that is. At the onset of the play the

answer is "no" by a long shot. The shrew in question, Katheri-na, played by Susan Merenda, h i t s the stage biting, kicking

and screaming at the men who attempt to handle her. Her rage extends even to her sister Bian-ca (Whitney Green). The con-forming Bianca, for whom suit-ors are lined up, is t ied and whipped by her savage sister.

The catch is that the father of both women has ru led t h a t Ka ther ina be wed f i r s t , and that 's the device that sets the play off on its route of comedy and deception. If Bianca is the prize, then what fool, or what devil, will dare to marry Kathe-rina?

It is then t h a t Petruchio, played loudly and proudly by Justin Caesar, shows up on the scene. Every bit a b r u t e as Katherina is a shrew, Petruchio is the answer - "the fool as to be married to hell."

Against a 1960s setting aug-

mented by the music of The Bea-tles, Donovan, Paul Revere and the Ra iders and the Roll ing Stones, the Trinity House cast of 21 actors exuberantly wends its way through the classic Shake-speare comedy.

Much of the original Shake-spearean dialogue is preserved in the Trinity House production and the 1960s e lements a re reserved to music, stage trap-pings and costumes of the char-acters.

Written centuries before the notion of women's l ibera t ion became a mass movement, the play expounds upon the rank of women in Shakespeare's time.

They're fine if kept in the i r place and a scourge on polite society if not.

Servants fa re no be t te r , as they're also kicked and swatted

into submission. Apart from the central story

t h a t p i t s Pe t ruchio aga ins t Katherina is the tale of sister Bianca, who is offered up like chattel to the highest bidding suitor. Joe Wisniewski as Lucen-tio, Kurt Fretwell as Hortensio arid Guy Snyder as Gremio are the bidders. Lucentio even goes so far as trade places with his servant in order to get closer to the fair Bianca.

Also there are the antics of the servants in the play, who are subject to the treatment meted out to the "taming" of Katherina on a regular basis.

Just for laughs But The Taming of the Shrew

is after all a comedy, and all the rants and raves and slapstick fisticuffs are there for laughs.

April Line, as Petruchio's ser-

vant Grumio, provides a good portion of those laughs with her an imated facial expressions. After a particularly brutal jour-ney accompanying Pet ruchio and his wild bride to Petruchio's home, or the "taming school," she dryly says, "It was not a good trip."

As Petruchio, Jus t in Caesar plays a villainous, egocentric brute with gusto.

Ceaser's Petruchio is blind to the notion tha t he will fail to refine his wife and willing to wager on it . Wi th h i s cocky stance and his bellowing voice, Caesar plays the villain well. He's the character you love to hate.

Merenda is also good at acting the transformation tha t takes place from Katherina the wild-cat hellion at the play's begin-

ning to the submissive Kate that advises fellow women to suc-cumb to their husbands' will at the play's end.

The production itself may end in a party scene where audience members are urged to "Twist and Shout" along with the cast, but director Laura Gumina does not sacrif ice the content of Shakespeare's play in order to make it modern.

As in most of Shakespeare's work, the play's message stands up and is relevant to today. It is more than just a comedy and the audience is lef t to wonder whether Katherina was better off before or after she was sent to the "taming school."

Christine Lavin does her best to remain anonymous B Y SHARON DARGAY STAFF WRITER

Folk singer Christine Lavin is rushing through her last day in New York City before heading on tour to California, Oregon and Michigan.

She's r esponding to e-mail messages from fans. She has a voice lesson in an hour. And she has t i cke ts to an af ternoon Broadway show.

But she's bubbly and funny, talkative and unguarded as she makes t ime to chat with the reporter calling from Michigan.

Lavin says she^has made a conscious decision to "pay atten-tion and be interested in" the people she meets.

"Because that's the way people should be treated. It shouldn't be that they can do something for you or you are impressed with them. It's really made me aware because I get into these situa-tions all the time."

At a recent awards party -where she received honors as a "singer of the year" - Lavin rubbed elbows with "Broadway type people" who didn't recognize her.

"Then when they heard my name, and because they knew my work, it was a wh-ooo-le dif-

ferent ball game." She wrote the song, Trying to

Trade Up, after spending a mis-erable evening at a party where fans snubbed her unt i l they found out who she was.

"I remember going through th is sea of people and would make eye contact. They'd look at me and look away because they didn ' t know who I was. You know, it's such a New York thing to want to talk with the most important people there.

"Halfway through the party, the host stops everything and says, 'Everybody, this is Chris-tine Lavin, the person I wanted you to meet.'"

When the fans fawned, Lavin wanted to scream "No! I tried to talk to you and you wouldn't give me the time of day."

Instead, she wrote it all into lyrics.

The 49-year-old folk singer does her best to remain anony-mous.

"I feel that to be a good song writer you need to observe peo-ple, and if they know what you look like, you can't do t h a t anonymously. You have to be able to observe from an anony-mous point of view," she explains.

She even excluded her photo-

graph from CD covers during the last decade.

If you want to see Lavin as well as hear her witty and touch-ing songs, you've got to catch her in concert. She'll perform on Fri-day at the Lafayette Grande in Pontiac and on Saturday at The Ark in Ann Arbor.

She may even work a l i t t le baton twirling and palm reading into the act. You never know what to expect at Lavin's perfor-mances.

Eccentric:*You're still baton twirling during the show, but your Web site said you've quit painting fans' nails with sparkle polish at intermission?

L a v i n : "I developed an odd allergy and I still can't shake it. My whole refrigerator has been filled with hundreds of bottles of nail polish for three years. But I bought a book on palm reading and I decided I could do t h a t

instead." Eccentric: Do you spend much

t ime on the Web site, (www, christinelavin.com), keep-ing in touch with fans?

L a v i n : "I'm kind of errat ic about it. It depends on what my touring and writing schedule is. When I'm deep into the writing process I can't look at anything else. I can ' t control it . And believe me, when it wants me to write, I'll interrupt whatever I'm doing and it will take over. It's a mysterious process...like The Invasion of the Body SnatchersV

Eccentric: Do you constantly jot down observations and lyrics?

Lavin: "No, but I make mental notes. There are songs I've writ-ten that are about things that happened 20 years ago. I have a song about an unhappy couple, where the wife staked out the upstairs and the husband has the downstairs. That came from 1971 when I worked in a string bean canning factory with a girl who told me her parents hadn't spoken to each other in 30 years. I never forgot that, and it ended up in a song."

Eccentric: Is it t r ue you've seen the Dame Edna show sever-al t imes and tha t you may be headed for your own cabaret-style show?

Lavin : "I went 25 times and learned something every single time. There's no one I can think of in the English-speaking world who works an audience like this man does. He's at the top of his game.

"I feel that anything that you do that entertains people is legit-

imate to put on stage. I came from folk music and have no for-mal theatrical training. But I'm following where the work is lead-. ing me. Ill be three weeks on the Jersey shore this summer. We've had a couple of meetings, but we don't know what kind of show it's going to be. It's an interest-ing process. I'm holding on for dear life."

Eccentric: Fans don't know what to expect at your concerts, do they?

L a v i n : "That's true. I don't know what to expect half the time."

Eccentric: Your Web si te adver t ises a Chris t ine Lavin cruise?

L a v i n : "The t ravel agent started this thing called fan club cruises and thought I'd be a good one to have fun with it. I did one in November. I t ' s a four-day cruise this year. It's really a nice vacation for people who like this music."

i Chopper' reveals a dark side of life BY ANTHONY BREZNICAN A P ENTERTAINMENT WRITER

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Our hero is lovelorn. Rejected by his sweetheart , a scrawny, heroin-addicted prostitute, Mark "Chop-per" Read paces furiously on her front porch, mulling his options and lamenting his broken heart.

Inspiration strikes! The front door explodes inward and Chop-per charges inside to chase his beloved into a bathroom, where he crushes the frail woman's face with several rapid-fire punches.

Her mother tries to intervene in the spat. Chopper headbutts h e r w i th a sound l ike melon tearing open.

Our man wails sadly and sin-cerely to the unconscious prosti-t u t e : Look w h a t you've done! You've made your mom upset!

So goes one of the more dis-t u r b i n g scenes in Chopper, a comedic look at an Aust ra l ian criminal renowned for his pover-ty of intellect as well as his bru-tality.

The real Chopper rose to fame in his homeland after a high-pro-file murder trial and exaggerat-ing h i s c r imina l exploi ts in a b e s t - s e l l i n g a u t o b i o g r a p h y , despite, he proudly notes, being semiliterate.

He confesses to fictionalizing much of his story, so it's forgiv-ab le t h a t t he movie does the

same. Although Chopper is beautiful-

ly photographed, cleverly written and well-acted, the violence is so ex t reme t h a t it could only be enjoyed by those with a sense of humor that is darker than mid-night in a mine shaft.

The na ive m u r d e r e r is l ike a deranged, gun-toting version of Forrest Gump.

Cons ide r t h i s scene, w h e n Chopper, jai led af ter t rying to kidnap a judge, ends a disagree-ment with a fellow prisoner by puncturing the man's neck with a shank:

The v ic t im, Ke i th George (David Field) falls to his knees, eyes wide and dark blood spurt-ing between the fingers he has clenched to his throat.

Brow fu r rowed wi th regre t , Chopper mentally berates him-self for going too far . "You all right, Keith?" he asks nervously, t rying to make peace with the offer of a cigarette.

The gagging, mortally wound-ed man fails to accept the gift.

"You don't much like me, do you, Keith?" Chopper concludes, sadly.

His self-absorption is so total tha t he's sure Keith rejects the cigarette as a symbolic rejection of him ~ it can't have anything to do with t he fac t t h a t Kei th is s imply too busy dying on the blood-covered tile.

This scenario is repeated sev-e ra l t imes in Chopper, as h e commits an unreasonable act of extreme violence and then sin-cerely apologizes to his baffled victim. At one point, he shoots a man in the belly and then offers to drive him to the hosjfital.

Chopper is, after all, a polite maniac.

It 's to B ana 's credit tha t t he audience identifies so strongly with Chopper, a kind of revolting thug most people would prefer to avoid.

He plays the small-time crook as both disarmingly charming and dangerously unpredictable. The entire performance recalls Joe Pesci's "funny how?" speech from Martin Scorsese's gangster epic Goodfellas.

In that film, Pesci's character wen t f rom c rack ing j o k e s to cracking skulls. Provoked by an innocent remark, he seems ready to blow his top until reveal ing that he's only fooling. Moments later he sha t te rs a bottle over the head of a restaurant worker over a perceived insult.

Chopper is t h a t s c e n e stretched into a feature-length movie. The excitement and ten-sion comes from never knowing when Chopper is really going to lose it. The humor arises from his guilty apologies over unfor-givable savagery.

Chopper may freak over imag-

ined slights but he is willing to overlook an attempt on his life, as long as the would-be ki l ler doesn't mean it.

He greets repeated stabbings ; f r o m " f r i e n d " a n d c e l l m a t e J immy Loughnan (Simon Lyn- ; don) with a curious look. "What's got into you?" he asks, innocent-ly-

Later, he refuses to implicate Jimmy in the attack. "It's like if your m u m s t a b b e d y o u , " he explains.

D i r e c t o r A n d r e w D o m i n i k maintains a frenetic energy until -t o w a r d t h e end of t h e movie when the running gags s ta r t to grow a little old.

In the climax, Chopper shoots a man in the eye with a shotgun;.. r e g r e t s it , and a s k s t h e s t i l l " ' s t a n d i n g dead body, "Are you-' OK?"

At t h i s po in t , t h e a u d i e n c e sees the remark coming from so far away they could ask it in uni-son.

'Harry' is a worthy successor to the best Hitchcock B Y DAVID GERMAIN A P MOVIE WRITER

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Of all his films, Alfred Hitchcock pre-ferred Shadow of a Doubt, star-r i ng J o s e p h Cot ten as a psy-chopath who enters a small-town family's life as a savior before gradually revealing himself as a monster.

The F r e n c h t h r i l l e r With a Friend Like Harry... is a wicked-ly delightful modern successor to that 1943 classic and such other Hi tchcock s u s p e n s e t a l e s as Strangers on a Train, Psycho and Rear Window.

As with Hitchcock at his best, Harry director Dominik Moll cre-ates a dark sense of voyeurism, with the audience always a clue or two ahead of the characters yet totally in the dark over how events will unfold.

Harry's d ro l l black comedy even is reminiscent, appropriate-ly, of Hitchcock's The Trouble With Harry.

The movie ul t imately leaves behind so m a n y uncer ta in t ies about motive, consequence and the real vs. the imagined, that it might f r u s t r a t e filmgoers who like tidy endings. But for those who enjoy mulling and debating a good puzzle , Harry's a f ine exercise in ambiguity.

The story opens on Michel and

Cla i re ( L a u r e n t Lucas a n d Mathilde Seigner) rattling along in their wheezy car wi th the i r three young daughters causing havoc in the back seat. The over-stressed, cash-strapped family is heading for the rundown money pi t t h a t Michel and C l a i r e bought as a summer home.

They need a quiet ge taway . But with the pressures of chil-dren, finances and the specter of a visit from Michel's overbearing parents, this clearly will not be a kick-back-and-relax vacation.

Enter Harry (Sergi Lopez), an old c l a s s m a t e who fond ly remembers Michel. But w h e n the two bump into each other in a rest-stop men's room, Michel can't recollect Harry at all.

A man of leisure because of a big inheritance, Harry and his beaut i fu l but dopey g i r l f r iend Plum (Sophie Guillemin) insinu-ate themselves into the family vacation, securing an invitation to Michel's summer home.

Harry dazes and a l a rms the family with an extravagant gift and by reciting verbatim a poem that Michel published in a school journal 20 years earlier.

U n d e r t h e gu ise of c a s u a l benefactor, Harry begins a mer-ciless rampage to remove obsta-cles to t h e c r e a t i v e - w r i t i n g ca r ee r h e w a n t s Michel to

resume." Suspicions and violence escalate to a startling act of both c o n f r o n t a t i o n a n d complic i ty between Harry and Michel.

The grea t unanswered ques-tion is what drives Harry. Homo-erotic passion? Resentment over the everyday struggles tha t have stifled Michel's "art"? An unhap-py childhood tha t ' s resul ted in loathing of family ties?

Or is H a r r y a p ro jec t ion of Michel's mind, conjured to shake up a dreary home life?

The performances are excel-l en t , w i t h Lopez c r a f t i n g a Hitchcock-worthy villain who's simultaneously likable and omi-nous.

Moll, who co-wrote the screen-play with Gilles Marchand, also sticks for the most pa r t to the Hi tchcock p recep t t h a t w h a t viewers don't see is scarier than what they do.

Even David Sinclair Whittak* e r ' s m u s i c h a r k s back to t h e alternating lyricism and discord of Bernard Her rmann ' s Hitch?-cock scores.

In Shadow of a Doubt, Hitch! cock loved the idea of introduce ing a character of absolute men* ace into a bland, benign family setting. In Harry, Moll has fash-ioned a capt ivat ing stepson to Shadow's well-mannered mani-ac.

S T R E E T S C E N E

BRMC asks 'What ever happened to my rock & roll?'

STEPHANIE A. CASOLA

Robert Turner sounds s leepy. It's 11:30 a.m. in Los Angeles , w h e r e he ' l l be holed up for much of the day a t t h e Vi rg in Records offices doing p r e s s i n t e r v i e w s to p romote h i s band's upcoming

tour - a tour which features the f i r s t De t ro i t show for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

It just so happens I'm the first call on his list.

Still tired, Turner musters up avbit of en thus i a sm about t he Gold Dollar appearance May 9 where he and bandmates Peter Hayes and Nick Jago will per-form along wi th local openers P a i k and co -head l in ing w i t h Matador's Couch. You see, this is just they wanted - a small club tour keeping fans only an arms-length away from the stage. For BRMC, that's the essence of rock and roll.

If you've never heard of th is band - named for Marlon Bran-do's motorcycle gang in the clas-sic f i lm The Wild One - get r eady for an ea r fu l . The very first description I heard about BRMC's dis t inct ly myster ious sound came from a friend in the form of "Whoa Mama." With one

listen to the new self-titled Vir-gin Records release, I knew why. Melding psychedelia with unre-fined rock ala The Rolling Stones and The Stone Roses and blend-ing in undertones of Brit pop, BRMC touches on the coveted and familiar. With its crunching g u i t a r s and fuzzy vocals the music stretches to places deeply personal and sometimes sinister.

The story begins in a posh San Francisco high school, a t ime when Turne r and Hayes were more like castmembers of The Outsiders than The Wild Ones. "You find your niche, or end up outside of it," said Turner, 22. "We all h u n g out together. He played guitar."

T u r n e r picked up a g u i t a r around the same time and the two began " learning off each other." "We found our own sound together. We wrote songs for a couple of years and kept trying to push it forward."

About four years l a t e r , a r t school grad and drummer Nick Jago came into view. "We were living in the East Bay in San Francisco and he had recently moved f rom England ." They were always running into one another, on the street, at guitar shops, in record stores. Saying a word or two eventually evolved into a conversation. And it just so happened , a d rummer was just what they needed.

"It became profoundly obvious we couldn't do it j u s t us two," said Turner with a quiet laugh.

Growing up on a musical diet of Joy Division, The Clash and Bob Dylan, Turner can't recall a time when music didn't matter. He also happens to be the son of The Call 's Michael Been. But BRMC doesn't need any special t r e a t m e n t . They 've a l r e a d y earned quite vocal support from Oasis' Noel Gallagher and The Smith ' s J o h n n y Marr . BRMC recently toured with The Dandy Warhols and played the Sun-dance Film Festival - all thanks to a re lent less a t t i t u d e about performing.

Half of the band's debut record was derived from an indepen-dently-produced 13-song demo recorded in 1999. Songs like the u n f o r g e t t a b l e Red Eyes and Tears have endured and become bu i ld ing blocks for t h e band t ha t ' s won count less compar-isons to the likes of the Jesus and Mary Chain.

"It's the song that everything else revolves around," said Turn-er of Red Eyes and Tears. "The record, when I listen to it, that definitely feels like the song at the center of it."

Despite the major record label support, the band still revels in playing a small club tour. "They don't real ly quite get why we

would w a n t to p l ay (smal le r rooms) ," he sa id . "To me, i t makes complete sense. There's something you don't get in big

Carrying on with Couch's Jiirgen Soder BY STEPHANIE ANGELYN CASOLA STAFF WRITER scasola@oe.homecomm.net

Few musicians could get away with collectively calling themselves a rock band when they toss in instruments like the violin, choose a band name that conjures images of plush furniture, and tend to avoid lyrics altogether. But German-based instrumental indie rockers Couch don't question their allegiance to the genre of bombast and bro-ken rules. Instead, keyboardist Stefanie Bohm, drummer Thomas Geltinger, bassist Michael Heilrath and guitarist Jiirgen Soder walk the minimalist line between subtle jazz grooves and unrefined

With the release of the band's fourth album, "Pro-fane" (Matador Records, 2001), Couch takes it on tour - coming to a town near you for the first time. The fol-low-up to last year's "Fanta-sy", the first Couch record to make it across the ocean, "Pro-fane" takes those bass-drum-guitar beginnings to a whole new

Couch level. Soder took

some time out from his packing on May 1 to talk about this, the band's first tour to the U.S.:

Observer & Eccentric: I'd like to start out by talking about your own musical background and when you started playing music, play-ing guitar.

Jiirgen Soder: "I started playing guitar like in my teens, when I was 14 or 13 years old. I listened to heavy metal. I chose to start gui-tar. Every one of us listened to heavy metal in our teens. That's something that unites us.

"Other things came up, different music, pop music. In the late '80s some of us were into hardcore bands. Beginning in the '90s some of us started listening to jazz and New York noise, more experimental. In 1993, with Couch, we were less experimental." - O&E: When Couch started out, did you know right away you want-

ed to be an instrumental band? JS: "The bass player, Michael and I were also playing in another

band. This was more loose instrumental jazz noise. Then in 1990-93, we decided we wanted to have not-that-loose a project." .. O&E: Though Profane is your fourth album, it is only the second released in the States. Do you still feel new to American audiences? . JS; "Yeah, I think so. I'm sure we will learn when we get there. It's

a really big country. We've toured a lot in Germany and after Fanta-sy (was released) we also toured Europe, the U.K., France, Italy and Poland... It's also quite an advantage being an instrumental band, there are no real borders." ,.s O&E: How do you approach writing and creating music? How long did it take to Write and record Profane?

HYSTERICAL F U N FOR THE W H O L E FAMILY ! "

JS: "It took a year and a half... three weeks in the studio ajid we did a lot of home recording. We're not at all like a jam band. Michael, the bass player, (comes up with) most of the ideas. Then we all get together in the rehearsal space."

O&E: You used some new instrumentation on this record - a dou-ble bass, horns. How did that come about?

JS: "We are rather slow in integrating new things. It always takes us quite long. Our bass player started to play double bass. We didn't want to limit ourselves. The horn player was also a friend of ours, and the violin player also. We started to integrate them. It was more like an organic approach."

O&E: Who or what inspires you when working on new material? JS? "It's not like we listen to a lot of blues or electronic music, we

listen to all kinds of music. We also all come from a rock background. That's the language we speak the best, I think. It's not like we want to imitate style. People really should do what they do best."

REAL ESTATE QUERIES

ROBERT M. MEISNER

After a recent storm, I not iced water on my carpet from my doorwall. When I pulled up my carpet, I found the subfiooring rotten by water damage.

Apparently, the damage has been going on for years.

The board of directors refuses to notify the insur-ance carrier and

told me that it i s my responsibili-ty because my deck boards run towards my door allowing water to drain towards my doorwall.

A contractor said there i s no way the deck i s the problem since J-channel is being caulked and the water is pouring in on verti-cal sides of the doorwall.

Who's responsible? Even though the area in question is

a common element, it may not neces-sarily be the association's responsibil-ity.

Exterior walls, including windows and doors and basement foundations are a general common element and usually are the responsibility of the association. However, that isn't nec-essarily the case, depending on your condo documents.

Have a lawyer review your master deed, then write a letter to the associ-ation demanding that repairs be made if the association refuses to take care of the problem.

You may want to notify your own insurance company to determine whether there is any coverage from your own carrier and/or whether your carrier will assist in pursuing a claim against the association.

What turns on buyers? B Y D O U G F U N K E STAFF WRITER d f u n k e @ o e . h o m e c o m m . n e t

It used to be that kitchens and baths we re hot b u t t o n s for home buyers . They're still important.

B u t people in sea rch of a new address apparently have turned on to other things, also.

"What really comes to mind is houses with the master bedroom on the main level," said Tricia Garner, an associate broker with Coldwell Banker Preferred in Canton. "We don't have enough of those houses, even new builds.

"Ranches are always sought after for people who can't do steps, who don't want to do steps. Everything is on one level," she said.

"People are looking for recreation in their houses - a pool, patio - so they don't have to go far," Garner added.

"I think, r ight now, it's basements a n d g a r a g e s , de f in i t e ly two-car garages," said Beverly Bartus, associ-ate broker and manager of Prudential Chamberlain Stiehl in Ciarkston. "A home office is a very popular thing now for buyers."

"Def in i te ly home offices," G a r n e r said. "No doubt about that. My hus-band and I fight over ours."

"First-floor bedroom would be one, basements, a two-car garage or a larger g a r a g e , poss ibly three ," said Doug Hessler , a Real tor with Century 21 Associates in Rochester.

Some like newer "A lot of people are looking for some-

thing newer," said Pat Murphy, an asso-ciate broker with RE/MAX Classic in Livonia. "A lot of people like houses on big lots tha t back up to a wooded area. They want privacy if they can get it, but it's hard to find."

Steve Leibhan, associate broker and

• 'What really comes to mind is houses with the master bedroom on the main level.'

Tricia Game associate broke,

Coldwell Banker Preferred in Canton

manager of Real Estate One in West Bloomfield, also sees a trend to buyers w a n t i n g newer, upda t ing not wi th-standing.

"Especially, t ransferees are getting advice to buy houses 5-to-10 years old," he said. "Just like cars, newer is nicer. Some people are saying don't show me anything after a certain date."

"People don't want to spend a quarter million dollars then s tar t on a rehab project," Leibhan said.

But not everybody thinks along those lines.

Pam Stoler, an associate broker with Max Broock in Birmingham, was the only one of six Realtors contacted for this article who mentioned kitchen and baths as hot buttons one and two.

Most of her work is in the Birming-ham/Bloomfield area where major ren-ovations of older homes are highly pop-ular.

"They're looking for the mas te r to have a Jacuzzi tub and separate show-er, the ki tchen grani te counters, big cabinets, stainless steel sinks. Hard-wood floors are still big," Stoler said.

"New windows are still a big issue if t h e y ' r e older," B a r t u s s a id . "If i t (house) is older, fine, as long as the fur-nace is updated, a newer roof."

First-timers limited Move-up buyers insist more on get-

ting what they really want than first-

Interest rates baffle borrowers

timers, who often have to settle for less due to f inancial constraints , Bar tus said.

"A first-time buyer is still excited, but price range is more important to them, terms of financing," she said.

But everyone has to start somewhere and it's usually not at the top. Histori-cally, it's a gradual climb to the ulti-mate home.

"First-time buyers, at least they're not throwing money away (by renting)," Garner said. "They're gaining some equity here. They look at they'll be able to change in about three years and get what they really want."

"It 's our job to show people about (tax) deductibility and take into consid-eration appreciation to see where they might be if they buy a house or not buy," Murphy said.

"For o the r s , " B a r t u s sa id , "more square footage is the main reason for a move up and sometimes it's location -it may be lakefront or acreage."

Equity sparks moves Equity built through ownership and

a bet ter wage through experience in the workplace provide the means for a relocation to more of the must-haves.

T h e r e a r e o t h e r i s sues for home selection.

• "Families really like the kitchen to open up to the family room," Stoler said. "Nobody likes to be isolated any more."

• "Another f e a t u r e is a walk-out basement," Leibhan said. "We didn't see that as much 10 years ago."

• "Many people are concerned about schools whether, they have children or for resale," Murphy said.

• "The distance from work is impor-tant ," Hessler said. "In many cases, people don't want to travel through all the traffic to get where they're going."

MORTGAGE BITS

PHILLIPS

Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan recently surprised the country with another 1/2-per-cent decrease in short-term interest rates.

This most recent reduction brings the annual total to five and nearly matches the total number of increases he imposed . during the previous 14. months. Yet, after his ; announcement, mort-

gage rates went up about 1/4-percent. Why?

Many borrowers expected to see an immediate and significant drop in home mortgage rates. Some are frus-trated and some even angry.

My message to all of you is to be patient and to be thankful. Our coun-try's economy and the free market are functioning as they have been designed. As much as I would love to see home mortgage interest rates drop ; even lower, I am thankful that they are. not falling as a direct result of Greenspan's actions. Why? Because I want to keep our market system free from the influence or control of a single entity.

When the Fed drops short-term interest rates, it's a break for its mem-ber banks, but not necessarily for bor-rowers. It often takes time for rate changes to "trickle-down" to consumers. Lenders are often reluctant to make hasty rate reductions for long-term commitments - such as 30-year mort-gages - based on short-term interest rates.

As with other commodities, the increased demand for mortgage prod-ucts has created a "glut" for most banks' processing centers. Lenders keep rates slightly higher to moderate surging demand. When the refinance market begins to soften, we may see mortgage lenders lowering rates to encourage homeowners to borrow again.

Unfortunately, there is no evidence • to suggest tha t the demaiid for mort-gages will slow soon. Even additional Fed rate cuts may not quickly drive long-term mortgage rates down much more. It's great news that the rates are as low as they are. IJowever, if you are waiting for "the bottom", you may have quite a wait ahead of you.

Here's a comparison of average 30-year fixed rates and adjustable rate mortgages

for U.S. Figures include about 1 point.

Extracurricular activities: Intra-mura l basketball championship team member, two varsity letters in tennis, St. Fabian Parish Council representative, at tended three years of Christ ian work camps, American Legion boys' s ta te delegate, Dwight Rich Citizenship Award, finalist for Boys' Nation.

Influential teacher: Biology teach-er Virginia Lambert 's "relaxed, yet efficient, teaching style and ability to make (complex) subjects seem very comprehensible are her great-est attributes. A good portion of my success and interest in biology should be accredited to Mrs. Lam-bert. Without her, my intentions for a college major may very well be undecided."

To improve public education, Doughty would "try to get s tudents to take greater advantage of the opportunities offered to them. Too often I hear s tudents saying they ha te school, they're bored, or they wish there was something to do in this school, this town, etc. I would try to get these students to open their eyes and get involved. Con-t rary to popular belief, high school does not need to be drudgery and can actually be enjoyable as long as s tudents realize what's out there."

His passion for teaching, coupled with his immense knowledge of American literature, really sparked my interest in English and school in general. Although he did not always look kindly on my essays, I believe tha t he helped me become a bet ter writer, too."

To improve public education, Gansen would "allow teachers more flexibility in setting their own cur-riculum. Teachers frequently cannot teach wha t they deem is necessary because the standard curriculum does not allow time for it. By allow-ing teachers to teach wha t they want to, they can expose s tudents to a wider variety of materials and pro-vide for more in-depth learning."

He is the son of Robert and Car-olyn Gansen and brother of Andrew, 12.

They also got me out of reading all the t ime and into actually interacting wi th others. Sharon Wenzel, my m a t h teacher in n in th and 11th grades, influenced my love of mathe-matics by let t ing me do my elaborate diagrams in color on the chalkboard. And finally, Lynne Elsesser, my Spanish teacher for the past th ree years, helped me grow in all a rea and ha s prepared me for the 'real world' more t h a n anyone else."

To improve public education, Brayman would "make high school more like college schedule-wise, overall. Other improvements could be made by having curriculum more apti tude-based for t he students. (And) have the teachers take classes when there are new developments in teaching, technology and other such things tha t are re la ted to education."

She is the daughte r of Timothy and Elizabeth Brayman and sister of William, 15, Karen, 14, Alexander, 12, and Francesca, 8.

Principals teamed up to rank the All-Stars Five principals from Observer area

high schools met April 5 in Livonia to select this year's Academic All-Stars.

"It's an excellent idea to honor these students," said Sister Joan Charnley, p r i n c i p a l of B i shop Borgess H igh School.

"There are students who excel in a lot of d i f fe ren t th ings , and recognizing them is always a positive," said Joan Sedik, principal of John Glenn High School.

"Whenever we can recognize the tal-ent of our students, whatever they are, it 's important ," said Patricia Pat ton, principal of Canton High School.

"I'm extremely impressed with the h igh qual i ty of the s tudents in th i s pool," said Dan Willenbore, principal of Franklin High School.

The committee was chaired by Rod Hosman, principal of Churchill High School.

Committee members sorted through 47 a p p l i c a t i o n s r e p r e s e n t i n g h igh schools in Fa rming ton , Fa rming ton Hills, Livonia, Redford, Westland, Gar-den City, Plymouth and Canton.

1,000. Next the student's SAT score is divid-

ed by 1.6, or the ACT score is multi-plied by 27.778. That's another 1,000

possible points. The highest possible total score is

2,000. Personnel at each of the partici-pating high schools did these calcula-

tions and reported the scores. Our committee double checked the

numbers to verify accuracy. All of the winners had total scores in

excess of 1,900.

"The Observer is happy to have the coop-eration of the education community to rec-ognize these young scholars. The time that they take away -from their busy schedules is appreciated," said Hugh Gallagher, man-aging editor of the Observer Newspapers.

Gallagher also expressed satisfaction about the quality and range of students who submitted applications.

"These outstanding students deserve special recognition. The Observer regularly recognizes athletic achievement, and we feel that academic achievement deserves the same recognition," Gallagher said. "The Academic All-Stars is a way to recognize both the schools and their students."

This marks the 16th anniversary of the Observer's Academic All-Stars program.

It s ta r ted in 1985 when Robert Schramke, the Redford Union High School principal at the time, approached a news-paper executive with the idea of honoring students for academic achievement.

Each All-Star will receive a certifi-cate of recognition and the latest edi-tion of Webster's New World Dictio-nary.

Additionally, they, along wi th t he runners-up, are honored in this special section.

helps s tudents to excel academically but teaches them about life. Her class was exciting, her methods were cre-ative and unconventional, and learn-ing was neve r a chore. Also, she exposed her s tudents to some of the greatest literature ever written, which sparked my interest in reading as well as my quest to gain all the knowledge I could in order to be successful."

To improve public education, Mamo would " e n s u r e t h a t each school received the same amount of spending per pupil. I believe that it is not right tha t some schools have far less state money to work wi th . Also, I would establish new programs to involve par-ents in their children's education. One of t he problems wi th our society is tha t the parents are not as informed or involved with their students' lives as t h e y should be. Addi t ional ly , I would increase the difficulty of classes and raise the expectations that should be demanded of the students because I am a firm believer that students will rise to the challenge if they know that their community believes in them."

Madonna University Selected For Japan Project Only eight U.S. colleges and univer-

sities have been chosen to participate in a year-long faculty-development seminar on Japan. Madonna University has been selected by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) for this seminar program which assists colleges and universities in their efforts to become more global in their orientation and programs. This is the second time Madonna has been provided this opportunity.

A total of 24 faculty were chosen f rom compet i t ively-selected institutions, comprised in. teams of three members from varying disciplines. Faculty representing Madonna University are: Cecilia Donohue, Ph.D., assistant professor, English and communicat ion arts; Anita Herman, Ph.D., associate profes-sor and chair, gerontology; and Douglas Semivan, associate professor and chair, art.

In preparation for a three-week visit to Japan in July, these Madonna University facul ty members will meet weekly

upcoming academic year, including the creation of a new humanities course

focusing on Japanese culture.

"Japan is undergoing signifi-cant changes due to her rapidly aging population," said Herman. "As a result of this study and travel, I expect to develop a couple of units on Japan for the courses I teach to infuse more diversity into our gerontology curriculum."

While in Japan, these faculty members will be engaged in intensively scheduled activities at important historical and cultural centers such as Tokyo, Kyoto, Takayama, Hiroshima and Kurashiki. There they will attend programs and presentations and will meet with experts on various aspects of Japanese culture and society.

"The Japan Seminar project will add new, important and relevant dimensions to existing courses offered at Madonna Univers i ty ," said Donohue.

Semivan "Given the ever-increasing interaction be tween Japanese and American companies, especially in the Detroit area, the material brought into these classrooms will benefit our students as they enter or advance in the world of work."

Nursing Program Addresses Healfhcare Demands ( f A Jith an average of 96 percent of

V Kits nursing graduates passing the nursing board examinations on the first attempt over the past 13 years, Madonna University carries on its tradition of excellence in nursing education.

In preparing students for a profession in which caring, competence and quality are

hallmarks, Madonna's n u r s i n g p r o g r a m

\ 'tO-

has maintained its commitment to society by responding to the needs of the community, providing quality curriculum, and receiving continued accreditation by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission.

Anticipating the future career needs of nurses and to address the health care needs of society both now

and in the future (the U. S. Department of Labor indicates that employment for registered nurses will grow faster than the average for all other occupations in the U.S. through 2008), Madonna University offers: a bachelor of science in nursing degree (BSN) for beginning nurses and a BSN completion degree for licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and registered nurses (RNs) from associate's degree and diploma programs. The University also offers a master of science in nursing (MSN) degree with majors in nursing administration, adult health: chronic health conditions, adult health nurse practitioner, a dual degree MSN/ MSBA (business administration) and MS in hospice education.

Madonna University began a curriculum redesign more than six years ago, recognizing that nursing job growth will occur outside of hospitals and acute care facilities. With a focus to enhance preparation of graduating students for expanded nursing roles within the community, students in this new curriculum are given a longitudinal community-based experience in the same community for all four terms of the nursing program.

"The nursing profession is driven by need," said Mary Wawrzynski, Ph.D., dean, College of Nursing and Health. "We, at Madonna University, have maintained a commitment to educational quality, program improvement and accountability and have taken the appropriate steps to serve society more effectively."

Madonna Value at an Affordable Price SiJAjd&nih Oqtesi VYladontw lAjiwfzA&ity. Ifl&anA Quality

'Where Jour Success Is Our greatest Achievement!

Arriving in the States from China just one year ago, Ying Li Fu had her mind set on

attending a private university. As she studied numerous college bulletins, she was pleased what she found out about Madonna University.

"There is a wide range of programs," Fu said. "I 'm not sure exactly what my major will be, but of the areas I 'm considering - accounting, bus iness administrat ion or computer science -Madonna offers them all."

YFNGTJ

Fu said that when com- - • • * paring costs of a private university to a public university, she also looked at the benefits. "Because of the small classes at Madonna, the professors have more time to give me attention. Also, the admission

and registration processes are ' much more efficient,

therefore, it saves me a ' lot of time."

W ^ Bernie Rice i t , just completed his

bachelor's degree in December and is extremely proud of earning his

degree at Madonna.

As a transfer student from School-

craft College, Rice re-searched several universities

before choosing Madonna. "I felt at ease here the minute I came in the door. There is a sense of unity and spirituality. Having attended Catholic schools while growing up, I appreciated the fact that there are religious courses included'in the programs."

After 15 years in business, Jennifer Jewett decided on a total career change. "I wanted to go into teaching, and did a lot of shopping for the university where I would earn my teaching certifi-cation."

f i r

« »

Jewett ex-plained that her reasons for com-ing to Madonna were that many of her credits transferred and that the teacher education program was a

.mune

quality program "There are no teaching assistants and the professors are leaders in their field," she stated.

Nursing major Stacey Randall agrees that Madonna has a reputation for excellence. Now in her senior year, she proudly boasts that nearly 100 percent of Madonna's nursing gradu-ates pass the nursing board examina-tions on the first attempt. She also is most appreciative that she has received financial aid which has enabled her to

Hitth Tech Meets HIah Touch Madonna University's Technology Enhanced learning Environment Centers Around Students

Although throughout the history of

educational technology the onset of any new delivery system is met with apprehen-sion, Madonna University has taken the necessary steps to create a learner-centered environment which enhances both teaching and learning. Of particular importance, the University will maintain a strong dimension of its mission, which includes respect for each person's talents and needs.

Providing support for the intellectual, spiritual and personal growth of all of its members - students, faculty and staff -remains at the heart of Madonna University. When developing its strategic plan, which is to be implemented over the next five years, great emphasis was placed on these values, particularly as they relate to teaching and learning technologies.

As a means to accomplish the goals outlined in the planning document, a newly constructed instructional technology wing project is nearing completion, owing its start to a $1.6 million Title III grant awarded to Madonna University from the United States Department of Education. The wing, known as the WRITE Center, (Writing and Research Integrated Technology Environ-ment), will provide multimedia opportunities

for faculty, staff and students. It will serve as a physical and virtual space where students and faculty members collaborate and work

independent ly to enhance learning in and beyond the classroom.

M A D O N N A

University's Chief Information Officer John Fosselman is overseeing the project and has the responsi-bility of ensuring the effective use of the new technologies

across the University. He refers to Madonna's technological advances as e2College, which encompasses its extended and electronic capabilities.

"The planning goals provide support for our vision of the e2College and involves academic departments and student support systems to make it happen," Fosselman said. "The University is moving in the right direction, providing a rich learning environment supported through technology. The students will be trained to use the tools of the new millennium."

To improve public education, "vouchers should be provided to intelligent students who cannot afford private education, and corpo-rate charter schools tha t have a lower tuition should be set up. The families of children not in the public system should not have to pay taxes 'to support the public schools.

I assure you, nothing motivates public schools more than money. As a result of this then, public education would signifi-cantly improve."
