Greene means go BY JACK GLADDEN STAFF WRITER jgladden@oe.homecomm.net

When Greg Greene and his wife. Debi, decided that their residence in Farmington Hills was too small, they started looking for a new place to live! Debi found an apartment she liked at Fordham Green in Canton

"She said 'I found this place in Canton,'" Greg recalled. "I'm going Canton? Why Canton? She could have said Timbuktu. I didn't know anything about Canton."

Now, 13 years later, Greene is a self-proclaimed Canton Booster and there's not much he doesn't

know about t h e town-ship.

The 50-y e a r - o l d sales agent for AAA Michigan is an active

member of the Canton Chamber of Commerce, serves on about 10 committees (chamber and non-chamber) and this month was appointed to the newly formed Council for Community Excel-lence, Par tnership for the Arts and Humani t i e s and Canton Recreation Advisory Committee.

"Greg is a professional, hard-working guy," said Township Supervisor Tom Yack. "He and his wife love the community and vol-unteer in a variety of capacities. He's the kind of guy you wish there were 150 of."

And t h a t k ind of "volunteer spirit" is part of what Greene likes about the township.

"Canton res iden t s a re very active," he said. "There's a very large volunteers spirit here, which to me is very important for any community to have."

Yack calls governor 'clueless' on issue • Gov. John Engler's veto of a bill to give townships more control over speed limits on local roads has drawn the ire of Canton Supervisor Tom Yack.

BY JACK GLADDEN STAFF WRITER jgladden@oe.homecomm.Het

A bill that would have allowed townships a voice in setting speed limits on local roads was vetoed by Gov. John Engler earlier this month and Canton Township Supervisor Tom Yack is hopping mad.

In a written statement Yack said "the gover-nor's action is a slap in the face of Canton resi-dents and their elected officials."

Under current law cities have the right to establish speed limits on most roads in their communities, but in townships those limits are set by county road commissions or departments and the Michigan State Police. Township offi-cials have no voice in the process.

House Bill 4022 would have allowed township officials to join with the road commission and state police in determining safe speeds on local roads. At least two agencies would have to agree on the speed limit

Hie bill passed in the Michigan House late last year on a vote of 101 to 4. It passed in the Senate in February of this year 33 to 1 and was sent to the governor on March 5.

Last week Engler vetoed the bill and sent it back to the House with a letter explaining his action.

"I am concerned that, under this legislation, objective facts will be will be ignored in the face of emotional appeals to alter speed limits," Engler wrote. "This bill could result in decisions made not on objective fact but by two of the par-ties in agreement with the third dissenting."

In his written statement, Yack said, "This clearly shows the continuing contempt the gover-, nor has for townships and their residents. Town-ship officials are called upon routinely to make difficult decisions regarding zoning and other governmental mat te r s based upon objective data. ;

Wall of Courage' is tribute to '69 graduate BY TONY BRUSCATO STAFF WRITER tbruscato@oe.homecomm.net

When Sandra Sagear attended Ply-mouth High School in the 1960s, it was a daily showing of courage as the teen stricken with polio navigated the halls of what is now Central Middle School.

Sagear, afflicted with polio at an early age, couldn't climb stairs with her heavy crutches and braces. And, she didn't have the easy task of taking an elevator to the upper floors because there wasn't one in those days.

Instead, in order to attend classes, Sandra sat and lifted herself up each step, one-by-one, with her arms and hands, every school day for three years without complaining or asking for before graduating in 1969.

At 16 years old, Sandra spokesperson for the Plymouth Com-munity Fund, the forerunner to the United Way. And, after graduation in 1969, Sagear became an office manager

and executive secretary. Her motto, "Can't never did any-

thing. Can did it all." She lived every day like that until her death nearly 10 years ago.

To honor her resolve, the Sandra Sagear Memorial Wall, is being con-structed in the front hallway of the new Plymouth High School, which will open in the fall.

"The 'Wall of Courage' will honor those students who have demonstrated courage and perseverance in the face of extraordinary adversity," said commit-tee member Debra Madonna of Ply-mouth Township. "The theme of the wall is 'Imagine.' In order to overcome obstacles, she had to imagine she could. And, she did."

The wall is being designed and con-structed by Plymouth Township artist Dennis Jones. It will be a multi-media presentation which will integrate the

Discovery Middle School student Val Miller figured it's never too early to s t a r t t h ink ing about a career , so Wednesday night she went "Career Cruising" at career night at Salem High School.

Some 50 booths were set up advertis-ing careers ranging from commercial pilot to journalist, along with a keynote address by a pair of Schoolcraft College career counselors.

She's only an eighth-grader and isn't sure what she wants to do with her life, but Miller found plenty of information from a variety of sources.

"My counselors thought it might be

cool to check it out," Miller said of the career night. "I'm still not sure what I'm going to do when I grow up, but it helps sort it out."

Which is exactly what the program was designed to do. Donna Nordman and Julie Puggini-Denhof of School-craft College tag-teamed the keynote address, telling the hundreds of stu-dents in at tendance what the work force of the future would look like, and what kinds of skills they'd need to be successful in it. Technology is going to play a key role, Denhof told them.

"It took radio 38 years to reach 50 million listeners, and it took only four years for 50 million people to hit the Internet," she said. "Work is becoming un t e the r ed by t ime or t rave l and replaced by technology."

Of the top 50 highest-paying jobs in this country, Denhof said, 48 require a degree. By 2010, she pointed out, the most-sought-after jobs are going to be in teaching, computers, biotechnology, nanotechnology, government and health care.

According to the National Associa-

tion of Colleges and Employers, the top career and life skills workers entering the work force are going to need include communication, creativity, crit-ical thinking, leadership and personal management.

While career nights such as the one at Salem don't necessarily help fill openings for companies, they're an excellent vehicle for dispensing infor-mation. For instance, there's a nation-wide need for nurses, which was one of the reasons Bonnie Kalous was a t Salem High School Wednesday night.

"I think it gets the information out," said Kalous, manager of endoscopy and minor surgery for the North Oakland

Shortly after 9 p.m. another call was received saying "There's

a bomb in the building." Employees left the building

Women's Club alters scholarship focus

Keeping the faith Love of God, people motivates area pastor

Some 20 years after the first Scholarship Invitational Ball, t he P lymouth Women's Club mus t change the focus of i t s annual scholarship program.

Af te r award ing some 600 scholarsh ips to h igh school seniors over the years , t he Women's Club will now offer them to women enrolling in col-lege-degree courses, according to K.C. Mueller, the scholarship awards chairman.

• The change is requi red because of an IBS ruling, which says because scholarships make up.more than 15 percent of the t o t a l budget , the club i s . no longer a 501(c)3 organization.

"The government has chosen to consider us a social organiza-

tion as opposed to a civic organi-zation," Mueller said. "Therefore, we do not qualify."

According to Mueller, a limited number of scholarships will be awarded to women looking to advance their education. "Once again, we would be looking at the individual's involvement in the community," she said.

Hie application ask for infor-mation about education, reasons for applying for specific classes or courses of study, and a list of community involvement. A short essay is also required. Applica-tions are due by April 15 and can be picked up at the Plymouth Observer office, 794 S. Main, (734) 459-2700, Applicants can also call Mueller, (734) 455-0075.

The Rev. Kenneth D. Lister has seen changes in his more than 40 years in the ministry, but some things stay the same.

"Churches have personalities just like people do," said Lister, interim pastor of Garden City Presbyterian Church. He's been at the church for about a year and a half, and has served one-10th of the churches in the Detroit presbytery.

Lister, former interim pastor at Canton's Geneva Presbyteri-an Church, felt the call to the ministry while in college at Iowa State. He'd grown up in Eagle Grove, Iowa, and was studying business when he felt the call.

"I finally made the decision. It was a difficult decision," the minister, now 67, said.

Lister earned a bachelor's degree in speech and philoso-phy from Monmouth College in Illinois, followed by a master of divinity degree from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and a doctor of ministry degree from tha t seminary. His ministry has taken bim all over.

"It began in 1960 here in Detroit at St. James Church on Six Mile Road." That Redford Township congregation was his

On the grow: The Rev. Kenneth D. Lister hopes to fill the pews with more, younger families.

His min is t ry took h im to Zanesvil le and t h e n Solon, Ohio, then to Lower Burrell, Pa. He came back to Michigan for n ine years as pas tor of Lakeshore Presbyterian in the 11 Mile and Jefferson area.

Later, Lister, decided to do interim positions, and is on his 10th such assignment. Nearly all have been in the Detroit presbytery.

An in te r im ass ignment is short-term; Lister analyzes the situation and prepares the con-gregation for i ts next called pastor. ,

The downside is having to say goodbye to good friends.

Lister said things that have worked in the past in mainline churches don't necessar i ly

today. "It's quite a revolution-ary time for the church."

The changes under way are scary but also exciting, he said. He sees the church as becoming more like apostolic times, going back to Scripture and prayer to bring people in.

"It's a new time." Churches that struggle with change are having a tough time, he said.

Reaching out to young adults is essential. "We've got to try new things."

Garden City Presbyter ian has raised $100,000 to refur-bish the church. The church, on Middlebelt one block south of Ford, has about 300 members. Lister , has enjoyed his t ime with the church and communi-ty.

"I find the community to be very warm. I have nothing but positive vibes."

He does have a long daily commute, from St . Clair Shores. His wife, Mari lyn, teaches.fifth, grade at Monteith Elementary in Grosse Points. They have four grown children

and eight grandkids. "I love to fish," Lister said.

"Most of my fishing is done in Lake of t he Woods, Minn. , where I have a cottage."

He's also been on three cruis-es for Holland American Lines where he served as the Protes-tant chaplain. "It's a great way to see the world." The Baltic and Med i t e r r anean cruises have t aken h im to 17 or 18 countries. He was responsible for Protestant worship services on board.

Liste? re t i red a few years ago, but came back. "I just keep on going. I feel good, so why not?"

He loves preaching, bu t working wi th people is h i s favorite part of his ministry. "People are what gives life." The work with boards and com-mittees is rewarding.

Lis ter believes the world needs all the Christian disci-ples it can get, and tha t the church is losing its influence. "We've got to get recentered."

He wouldn't do anything dif-

ferently if he had his life to live over. One change he's seen and approves of is women in the ministry.

"Oh, def ini te ly . Tha t has enriched the church profound-ly." „

Lister is remembered fondly at Geneva Presbyterian. Den-nis Delezenne of Canton was clerk of session and brought Lis te r in dur ing the early 1990s. ' " I hired him to be the interim pastor when Ken Gruebel left," Delezenne said. He's impressed with Lister's ability to step into different situations and bring peace.

"And he's done that so many times. He's been all over the place. He's very warm, very

Delezenne recalled a sermon in which Lister dressed as John the Baptist. "I think he itched all the way through.

"He always preached from the word of God," he added. "He's just a wonderful man."

"The governor's comments also "imply that elected city officials lire more capable of dealing with speed limits than elected town-ship officials. After all, cities have total control over setting

- speed limits on most roads with-. in their community."

State Rep. Bruce Patterson (R-Canton) agreed with Yack on that point.

"That s tatement was an affront to certain townships in

: particular," Pat terson said. 7 "Canton Township has a popula-, tion of 77,000 people. Canton,

Plymouth and Northville town-' .ships all have very sophisticated

governing units." Census data show that nearly

50 percent of the state's popula-tion now live in townships. And

it is local officials who field com-plaints about traffic safety and

"It's a slap ih the face to say that we can't be objective," Yack said.

"We deal with objective mat-ters all the time. Zoning is a good example. We sit in front of a hundred people where we say 'Sorry, you can't do that.'"

The bill was supported by the Michigan Townships Association but opposed by the Department of State Police and the County Road Association of Michigan.

Yack said it seemed to him to be another local control issue.

"I don't think he (Engler) has a clue what goes on in local gov-ernment," he said. "He has no local government experience. I

don't think he can understand the services we offer."

Yack said that over the last 10 years revenue sharing funds for local governments have dropped by half a billion dollars.

"We just had a big discussion at.a staff meeting last week as to how much longer we should con-tr ibute sizable amounts of money to road improvement pro-jects due to revenue sharing cut-backs," he said.

In addition to the drop in rev-enue sharing money, Yack said the governor has added responsi-bilities to local government with-out adequate funding and has taken away local control.

"In the context I put it (the speed limit issue)," Yack said, "it's not about local elected offi-

Yack was also upset that the legislature did not act to over-ride the veto.

"We want to incorporate a sculpture with multiple figures, to represent other people who have gone through life with adversity and succeeded," said Jones. "The wall will address Sandra's personality, how she related to others, and how she dealt with her handicap.

"The alabaster stone will signi-fy her strength and purity, and sense of her agility," he added. "The white mural also brings out a calm strength in its overall appearance, and I think that's how she approached life."

Jerry Trumpka, a Plymouth A.M. Rotary Club member who is a also on the fund-raising com-mittee, can understand the importance of the memorial. Trumpka, like Sagear, suffered childhood polio.

"After gett ing to know her story, there were a lot of similar-ities and ways I could relate to her," Trumpka said. "In many ways, it's my story, too, and obvi-ously it's the life story of thou-

Trumpka said the "Wall of Courage" will cost $40,000. Of

the total, $10,000 in donation's were in-kind contributions. So, the committee needs to raise $30,000.

"So far, we're at about $8,500 in actual funds," he said. "After we finish funding the wall, we'll start a scholarship fund for kids who have overcome adversity, not just physical handicaps."

Plymouth High School Princi-pal Michael Bee said the wall will signify one of the first tradi-tions for the new school, and help connect the new school with the history of the old high school.

"I like the inspirational mes-sage as you walk in, that any-thing can happen if you believe it," Bee said. "Because a freshman class coming in we're asking them to t it's an extremely important mes-sage we want to give them."

Charitable contributions can be made through the Educational Excellence Foundation in the name of the Sagear Project. Call (734) 420-7010 for more informa-tion. The Prom Fashion Show, a fundraiser for the Sagear Wall, will be held at Salem High School on Wednesday, April 10.

Easter is the central holiday for Christian believers BY HUGH GALLAGHER AND KEELY KALESKI WYGONIK STAFF WRITERS hgallagher@oe.homecomm.riet kwygonik@oe.homecomm.net

Without Easter, there is no Christianity.

"Without Easter, our faith is nothing," said Lucas Parks, youth and worship pastor at the Solid Rock Bible Church in Ply-mouth. "We celebrate the death and more importantly the resur-rection of Jesus Christ.

"Without dying on the cross for our sins and rising again, our faith would be nothing. The sig-nificance of Easter is the founda-tion of our faith."

The Rev. Thomas Balzak of St. Valentine's Catholic Church in Redford Township said that without Easter, Jesus would be jus t another holy man or

prophet. "This is the proof that he was

the Messiah and the son of God and that we would live beyond the grave, too," Balzak said.

Parks said a lot of emphasis is often put on celebrating Christ-mas, but Christians recognize that as important as that day is, it is not as significant as Easter.

Many Christians only attend church on the two major holi-days.

"My feelings about that are two-fold," Parks said. "We're glad that people who don't come to church do come of those days and give us a chance to share our faith with them. Church is more a tradition for those people. For our church it's not about tra-dition but about a relationship with God and his son Jesus Christ."

Balzak said that "most people are faith filled" and those who come only on Christmas and Easter are trying to find a con-nection to something greater and higher.

"I always welcome them and make them feel a part of the community," Balzak said. "I try to use a little humor. I tell them it's great to see so many here and we'll here next Sunday."

The Catholic Easter Vigil on Saturday night is rich with sym-bolism, Balzak said. The ceremo-ny starts in darkness. Balzak said a Pascal candle is lit.

"Christ has risen, Christ is the light of the world," Balzak said. "Everyone is even a taper and the flame is passed from person to person and the church that was in darkness is brightly glow-ing."

Balzak said the church is also decorated with spring flowers representing renewal and a new cycle of life.

Parks said his church would have special services today to mark Palm Sunday. On Easter, the church will invite worship-pers to bring in Easter lilies in remembrance of someone who has died.

There are many tradit ions associated with the Easter sea-son, some directly related to the day's religious significance and some predating Christianity and associated with celebrations of spring.

Easter bunny Germans brought us the

Christmas tree, and the Easter bunny. Easter 's origins as a Christian holiday date back to

325 A.D. but it was not widely celebrated in the U.S. until after the Civil War.

The Anglo-Saxons were the first to welcome spring. Their pagan festival was called Eastre, and the goddess Eastre was wor-shipped through her earthly symbol, the rabbit.

Easter lily Lilies were found growing in

the Garden of Gethsemane after Jesus was crucified. According to tradition, the lilies sprung up where drops of Jesus' sweat fell to the ground in his final hours. Churches continue this tradition at Easter time by banking their alters and surrounding their crosses with masses of Easter

Lilies, to commemorate the res-urrection of Jesus Christ and hope of life everlasting.

Easter eggs Eggs are a symbol of rebirth in

many cultures. The exchange of colored eggs during the spring is a centuries old custom first cele-brated by Christians.

Polish traditions The Polish Easter celebration

begins with a procession during mass on Palm Sunday. Holy Thursday and Good Friday are solemn days of prayer, in between there is much cleaning and shopping to do. On holy Sat-

Passover is celebration of freedom BY HUGH GALLAGHER STAFF WRITER hgallagher@oe.homeeomm.net

Rabbi Daniel Nevins of Adat Shalom Synagogue in Farming-ton Hills calls Passover, which begins Wednesday night, a cele-bration of freedom.

"It goes back to the origins of our religion and the exodus from Egypt," Nevins said.

The Israelites were enslaved in Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II. Moses pleaded for the freedom of his people but was ignored by the Pharaoh. According to the Bible,

God unleashed a series of plagues upon the people of Egypt.

The final plague was the slay-ing of the first born. To protect themselves and to have the angel of the lord "pass over," the Israelites marked their doors with the blood of a lamb.

The Pharaoh finally relented but, after giving Moses' people their freedom, he sent his army in pursui t . According to the Bible, Moses parted the Red Sea to allow his people to pass and then closed the waters on the Pharaoh's army,

Nevins said the eight day

Passover celebration is marked by many symbolic rituals. Mat-zoh, an unleavened bread, is eaten to mark the fact that the Israelites had no time to prepare bread with yeast when they fled the Pharaoh.

On Wednesday and Thursday, Jews will have special meals called seders. Nevins said these are home-based r i tuals and every family has their own tradi-tions but that everyone is careful to avoid leavened breads during this time.

The meal includes certain foods such as horseradish to reflect the bitter affliction of

slavery. "And we dip parsley in salt

water to represent the tears of the slaves.

"We also drink four cups of wine in the course of the dinner," Nevins said. "This commemo-rates the four phases of Exodus."

These phases are freedom, deliverance, redemption and release.

"God said I will take you out and redeem you," Nevins said.

In addition to home-based rit-uals, there are also prayer ser-vices at synagogues with special prayers of thanksgiving.

Symbolic beauty: Easter eggs represent fertility and new life. Different cultures decorate eggs in a variety of ways. Poles, Ukrainians and Russians create elaborately decorated eggs for Easter.

Easter from page A5

'urday, the day before Easter, Poles take baskets of food to

' church to be blessed. The food -traditionally ham, kielbasa, hard boiled eggs, sweet bread, and butter in the shape of a lamb -will be eaten on Easter Sunday after

Swedish traditions In Sweden, as in many other

countries, Easter week starts .•with Palm Sunday, commemo-

rat ing Jesus ' journey to jgjJerusalem. Certain superstitions 5 were attached to Easter. People

believed witches were active and gjtheir black magic especially pow-

erful during this week. Even in modern times people have believed that women who prac-tice black magic ("Easter hags") were out practicing their craft. On Maundy Thursday they were thought to fly off on brooms to consort with the devil at some place called "bl&kulla," returning the following Saturday.

On Easter morning people hes-itated before starting a fire in the fireplace. The one who first got smoke up the chimney was believed to be one of the Easter

This superstition has evolved into something fun. On Maunday

Thursday or Easter Eve Swedish girls and boys dress up as hags and visit neighbors. Some leave an Easter letter hoping for a piece of candy or coin in return.

Easter bonfires are customary in the western provinces of Swe-den where villages vie to see who can make the biggest one.

Eggs are the most common Easter food, and hard boiled eggs are traditionally eaten the evening before Easter Sunday.

Bulgarian traditions The bright red colored egg is

the symbol of Easter (or Pascha) for Orthodox Christians all over

/ s a -

the world. Eggs are colored on Holy Thursday after mass.

Easter breads are also a tradi-tion. They are big and small and decorated. The bread is called "kolache" or "kozunak." One of these Easter breads is specially decorated with one or more (but an odd number) of red eggs. This bread is taken to church on Holy Saturday to be blessed.

The eggs are cracked after the midnight service and during the next day. One egg is cracked on the wall of the church (and this is the first egg eaten after the Lenten fast). The ritual of crack-ing the eggs takes place before

/ • »

Easter lunch. Each person selects his/her egg.

Then people take turns tap-ping their egg against the eggs of others, and the person who ends up with the last unbroken egg is believed to have a year of good luck.

The tradit ional Orthodox Paschal greeting is: "Christ is Risen!" The answer is: "Indeed He is Risen."

This is the greeting during 40 days after Pascha. Also, These greetings are exchanged during the tapping of the eggs, men-tioned above: They are repeated 3 times and the actual tapping is

after that. Our family has adopted this

custom. My father-in-law, the oldest in

the family, offers a slice of blessed egg to each guest at Easter brunch and says "Christ is risen," to which the person answers, "he is risen."

Finnish traditions It's still winter in Finland dur-

ing Easter. Children plant rye-grass seeds in little pots as a sign. Pussy willows are ancient Easter decorations, and birch twigs are placed in vases, where they soon start budding.

volunteering came about when they became friends with the apartment manager of Fordham Green.

"She was a chamber'member and she invited me to one of the chamber breakfasts," Greene

' said. "I got to meet a few people and they were forming a volun-teer community advisory com-mittee when they were planning to build fire station Number 1."

He and Debi both volunteered for and served on that commit-tee.

"The members were kind of ambassadors for the fire depart-ment to let people know what was going on with it and to dis-pel some of the fears like increased taxes and what not."

They also served on the com-mittee working on bringing the archery tournament to Canton.

A board member of the Down-town Development Authority, Greene also serves on the cham-

•ber's education committee, gov-ernment relations committee

building committee. A participant in Leadership

Canton, he serves on a subcom-mittee of that organization that is working as a cultural exchange group.

"We looking into a potential ; addition to the township's Web

site," he said. "It would focus on the cultural needs of diversified users. If someone comes here from another country and they have a language problem but know how to use a computer, we can help direct them to things that are culturally geared."

would deal with such things as "geographical considerations -where the people come from -

and other ethnic breakdowns." In 1999 the Greenes built a

new home in River Meadows subdivision. And when elections come around, Greene works as a precinct inspector at Precinct 20, where Debi is precinct chair-woman.

"Then he works for me," she said teasingly.

Attorney Bryan Amann calls Greene "a tireless volunteer in a lot of different areas in the com-munity.

"He's involved in the fabric of the community," Amann said. "He not only gives us the benefit of his thoughts and insight, but he pitches in and does the work,"

And for Greene it's that pitch-in spirit that he likes about Can-ton.

"Tom Yack is so involved in every aspect of the community, but he's not the only one," Greene said. "The township trustees really work at making Canton better. They don't just sit at meetings. They have a dream and a desire to make Canton work and we saw that. That's probably what made us look at staying here."

Not only is high speed Internet access already available here -making the effort by the gover-nor and Michigan's Economic Development Corporation to encourage broadband develop-ment unnecessary — the push is actually doing the state damage, according to some in the indus-

• The plan is being criticized as one that would 'pick winners and losers' in the Industry, based on who wins loans from that authority.

"The MEDC, the very organi-zation who is supposed to be pro-moting Michigan and encourag-ing economic development throughout the state, has done our state a great disservice by saying repeatedly that broad-band is not available, when clearly it is. I believe this may already be impacting local eco-nomic development organiza-tions and hindering their ability to market Michigan and encour-

evelopment across said Charles Scot of Gaslight Media of

Petoskey, before the House Tech-nology and Energy Committee.

The committee is reviewing three proposed new laws, Senate Bills 880, 881 and 999, which would implement Gov. John

Engler's proposals to encourage development of high speed Inter-net access, including the creation of a Michigan Broadband Devel-opment Authority.

The plan is being criticized as one that would "pick winners and losers" in the industry, based on who wins loans from that authority. Those borrowers are more likely to be larger, bet-ter financed firms, rather than smaller start up companies.

Scott's Gaslight Media is such a small firm in the business of providing Internet service hookups, and he contends the state 's information on the amount of Internet service avail-able in Michigan "shows only a very small portion of the Inter-net distribution capacity."

The MEDC's map of broad-band "backbone" services "does include any of the numerous pri-vately owned and operated net-works," he said.

He said that a Romulus corn-featured in news stories

and state press releases in February as being unable to get Internet access for less than $1,800 per month, has since been able to obtain access for less than $250. Other areas cited by the MEDC as lacking services actually already have them, he contended.

"What these stories have in common is a simple solution that doesn't require a new s ta te authority," Scott told lawmakers. "Simply pick up the local Yellow Pages and look under Internet. If, rather than portraying 'broad-band' as some new type of ani-mal that's only available over DSL and cable, the state would find ways to put customers in touch with providers, this prob-lem would be solved."

Lawmakers have also heard from officials representing the "satellite Internet industry." With only 10 percent of Ameri-can, households getting DSL or cable modem lines, StarBand president David Trachtenberg

said he believes satellite Inter-net access is "ready for prime time." His company is targeting 50 million households across the country, including many in rural Michigan. He estimates the cost of residential service will be $60 to $70 per month. Dish and installation will likely run under $700. . .

Lawmakers are not convinced such services eliminate the need for state action or a state author-ity. Rep. Jim Howell (R-St. Charles) said the authority's purpose would be to make loans to companies that are developing broadband infrastructure.

"When they first started build-ing cars, there were winners and losers then, too, but we didn't pick them by building the roads," he said.

The senate bills would imple-ment Engler's plan, known as LinkMichigan. Along with creat-ing an authority, it would coordi-nate used of municipal rights-of-way by broadband providers.

The Technology and Energy Committee is taking testimony on the proposal before it sends the package to the House floor for a vote. State senators have already approved the

Sheriff: Increase in online'" crime requires new efforts-B Y JULIE BROWN STAFF WRITER jbrown@oe.homecomm.net

Internet sex predators garner plenty of publicity, but Wayne County's sheriff knows tha t ' s only a small part of online crime.

Robert Ficano, speaking Tues-day to a Westland Chamber of Commerce audience a t Joy Manor, said identity theft is also a major problem.

"Most hackers are of average intelligence," he said, disputing the notion of the supersmar t teen boy as the typical hacker. Internet crimes, such as identity theft, tend to mirror those on the street, he said.

"These things are issues of the future." Metro Airport makes this area a natural for high-tech development, Ficano said. It 's important that government get on board to keep up with e-com-merce.

Ficano, a potential candidate for county commission, talked about how members of the sher-i f f s department became "cyber sheriffs." That came about when his daugh te r , t h e n 16, was

online in a chat room with some-' , one her dad was concerned^" about.

Not providing protect ion , against high-tech crimes is fool-' ish, he said. He urged parents p resen t to t a lk to the i r kids ' ' about Internet use. '?

"A lot of parents don't realize' -how much this is going on," he _ said of sexual p reda tors . He ~ thought the initial arrests would discourage such predators. ' 1

"We are now 55 arrests later* in a two-year period. There's * really no profile of such preda-tors, he said. ' '*

Ficano said government needs -3 to make real estate and other j public records available online. ~ His luncheon speech, sponsored * by the West land Community I Foundation, was well-received. '

"I thought it was very informa-1 tive," said Dennis Weese of'-!! RE MAX Hometeam. He didn't know Internet predators were | such a problem. •*

Weese has four chi ldren, % including a 16-year-old son, and ? will use an Internet safety pam- 2 phlet distributed Tuesday. *

Engler put a capper on that quick action by appointing William Rosenberg Thursday to

Sept. 11 spurs work on training center BY DAN WEST STAFF WRITER dwest@homecomm.aet

Oakland Community College is building a premier training

./center to enhance the skills of police, fire and ambulance per-

^ sonnel throughout the Midwest. The $14.5 million Combined

Regional Emergency Services Training center (CREST) will provide a simulated city on 22 acres of OCC's Auburn Hills campus. This area will have homes, playgrounds, businesses, a gas station, store, school and appropriate infrastructure to provide real-life rescue situa-tions and quality training oppor-tunities for thousands of emer-gency professionals in and around Michigan.

OCC is in the midst of a fund-raising campaign that enables the CREST project to be com-pleted this year.

The project's concept surfaced long before Sept. 11, but the ter-rorist attacks escalated the need -for tighter working relationships among all law enforcement, investigative and emergency

...agencies. It also escalated the urgency and scope of the CREST project.

"September's tragic events sig-naled that emergency prepared-ness should not be taken for granted, and that cooperative training among police, fire, EMS and other agencies are impera-tive," said OCC Chancellor Richard T. Thompson.

CREST construction, OCC offi-

cials said, can be complete by December if fund-raising goals are met.

Through private, public and corporate donations, OCC needs to raise $7.5 million this year to complete the project. An initial $7 million was raised last year,, thanks in part to a $2 million state grant,

Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson has lined up donations from business, politi-cal and community leaders, and Farmington Hills Police Chief William Dwyer is working to solicit public and private dona-tions from neighboring police departments.

Others can contribute and buy raffle tickets for a 2002 Dodge Ram truck, donated by TAKA-TA, a global manufacturer of custom automotive safety sys-

Up to 1,500 tickets will be sold at $100 each. If all tickets are sold, that ' s $150,000 toward CREST. The winning ticket will be pulled Thursday, April 11, at the CREST site.

Additional' donations can be made by purchasing commemo-rative bricks that will be placed at the CREST site. These bricks include space for engraved trib-utes to loved ones. Depending on size, the bricks sell for $100 or $250 each.

Tickets and bricks can be pur-chased by calling OCC Founda-tion Director Jill Dunphy at

"The fast lane to new jobs, new investment and new opportuni-ties is now open," he said.

The package also creates an authority to oversee the use of public rights of way by telecom-munications providers.

It sets a fee for use at 2 cents per foot the first year, 5 cents in

later years, and the companies will get a tax credit to offset the cost of those fees.

Lawmakers also created a fund to encourage small telecom-munications providers to partici-pate in development.

The state will sell bonds to make the loans available.

The three bills — Senate Bills 880, 881 and 999 — were spon-sored by Sens. Joe Schwarz (R-Battle Creek), Leon Stille (R-

FOCUS ON WINE

RAY & ELEANOR HEALD

It's rare that we devote an entire

column to a single newly-published . book. But we're doing that with A

Zinfandel Odyssey by Ehoda Stewart, published by PWV, Inc., 2002, $60, ISBN 0-9715820-0-9.

Have you ever developed fondness for a wine because you've met the winemaker at a tasting or visited a winery and learned the story behind passionate winemaking? If you have, then essentially, you don't care what wine critics think about the wine. These are your wines, personal finds with which you identify. They are treasured each time you pour, them ' into a wine glass. \ , Stewart's book is like that. She's not a wine critic, nor does she pre-tend to be one. In her book, you will not find wines rated by numbers. There are no lists of "the best" any-where in the book. Stewafrt uses words to entice you while she tells California's zinfandel story through the passionate eyes of its producers.

Over her years living in San Fran-cisco and driving to north coast Cali-. fornia wine country, Stewart devel-oped a passion for zinfandel and a personal attachment to the wineries

. that produce it. She has been a pro-, feasor of English at Napa Valley Col-lege sine^" 1978 and along with her love of words, she honed a photogra-pher's eye. All photos in her book

. serve to enhance her "romance with zinfandel," as she calls it. A romance, she reveals that began in autumn 1977. • A passion unfolds

"Inspired by the beauty of thevine-yards," Stewart writes, "i Began'to' sample maiiy Miies. More and more often, I would ask for zinflindel (the red stuff) in tasting rooms...Vet the more zinfandels I sampled and zin-fandel winemakers I talked to, the more aware I became of symptoms that a deep ambivalence toward zin-fandel had developed in the market-place."

The late 1970s is the time frame for those remarks. Wine critics of the era considered most zinfandels to be alcoholic monsters and tannic wines that weye very out of balance. Critic dislike depressed sales. Old vines were saved for today's zin lovers because Sut ter Home "invented" white zinfandel.

In the last few years, zinfandel has exploded on the wine scene. Growers are bent on preserving old vines and a zinfandel that boasts "old vines" on the label, literally runs out the door in the arms of zin lovers around the country. ,. " . ' Get to know the producers

In case you haven' t guessed already, we too, are passionate about zinfandel. So rather than tackling Steward's book from beginning to end, we started with the producers we like. Since the Amador area is

Wine has long played a part in Jewish ritual. Teal Lake wines, like other kosher foods, are made under strict rabbinical supervision and according to Jewish religious and dietary laws. After the grapes were picked, only strictly Sahbath-obierved Jews handled the wine afcd the winemaking equipment. The wine is flash-pasteurized making it mevushal. .

New mom tackles 1st Easter dinner

BY SANDRA DALKA-PRYSBY SPECIAL WETTER

Why did we agree to have Easter dinner for the whole family1?

"Christmas wasn't like I had planned," Pasternak said. "I was going to decorate a cake and make some new food dishes for the family celebration at my aunt's house. Instead, I spent the day giving birth to my son." Because she missed this holiday with family, she offered to have Easter dinner.

A Martha Stewart devotee, Pasternak likes to do a multitude of crafts, including painting per-sonalized children chairs, and enjoys cooking and baking. The latter two interests are the other reasons that led to Easter invitations to 12/amily members.

"I'm excited, but I'm also nervous. This is my first experience in entertaining such a large group! I want everyone to enjoy the day, espe-cially the food."

New traditions According to Pasternak, she is especially

excited about the fact that since she and her husband are the hosts, they can establish their

own Easter food traditions. "We can serve whatever we want!"

Pasternak has chosen to serve some Polish dishes to honor her husband's her-itage. Also on the menu is a colorful, layered gelatin salad to mark the traditional dish that her grandmother, who passed away two years ago, always made for Easter.

"But the main dish - apricot glazed pork tenderloin - is my addition to the meal. I wanted to get away from ham and try something different. And the recipe I found is really easy to make."

Also different this year is the dessert the young mother has planned. "Usually someone in the family brings the dessert. This year, howev-er, I am going to decorate a cake for Nicholas' first Easter and make this a yearly tradition."

Pasternak is a self-taught cake decorator who has garnished rave reviews for her creations. "This hobby, for me, is more fun than work. I like turning a plain frosted cake into a work of art."

Bunnies, flowers and other symbols of spring will find their way onto Pasternak's Easter cake.

"I like to use candies, colored frostings and other sweets in my cake decorating, I like every-thing to be edible." She admits, however, that there have been times when she had had to used plastic figures to create certain cake

themes.

All about family Pasternak' has discovered that caring for a

baby and preparing for the Eastern celebration may be a little more difficult than she anticipat-ed. "I thought I could clean, cook, bake and dec-orate the cake when Nicholas takes his long naps," she says. "But now he's into little catnaps and I can't seem to get anything done."

Pasternak said she's isn't too worried about this. "The baby's grandmothers - Pam Paster-nak of Sterling Heights, and Kathy Barton of Troy - have agreed to help me make this a great Eastern celebration. And, luckily, they both love to baby sit for Nicholas."

Everything will turn out just fine, she keeps telling herself. "How could it not? I have a great baby, a helpful husband, and a wonderful fami-l y ! " • i . ; : '

where and when you can do it. Simple - You don't need

fancy equipment, unless you want it, to get daily exercise. While it is better to do some-thing than nothing, don't avoid physical activity because you don't have all the accou-trements.

Convenient — Joining a health club is a great idea, unless the health club is far away or requires major sched-ule juggling to get there . There is some benefit to exer-cising with others, but if you must choose a solitary activity because it fits into your sched-ule, you'll still get the benefits.

Personalize the Food Guide Pyramid as your roadmap toward eating a variety of foods, using moderation when selecting portion sizes, and balancing your choices over time. Pay attention to how food is affecting you. Listen to your body's internal signals ra ther than eating "by the clock." Be mindful of the won-derful flavors and textures of foods and enjoy every bite. Remember that food is not the enemy; make peace with your refrigerator.

Taking the first step toward making healthful choices can be easy if you enlist help from friends and family. Some-times we use food to fill up more than our stomachs. Food fills in the empty spaces in other parts of our lives. The association between food,, love

and intimacy is ihextricable. Notice a mother feeding her baby and you can see how powerful food is at nourishing both the body and the soul. The people around you play an important role in helping you stay healthy. Here are some techniques for including others in your health plans:

• Ask for what you want praise, feedback, cooperation, rewards, etc.

• Teach family and friends the concepts of eating a vari-ety of foods and enjoying them in moderation.

• Request that affection and sharing not be in terms of food. Ask for non-food treats and gifts.

You can star t today for a healthy tomorrow.

Ham for Easter - consider the tasty choices BY TOMMY C. SIMMONS FOR AP WEEKLY FEATURES

BATON ROUGE, La. - Any way you slice it, cured ham with its smoky, sweet flavor is a favorite Easter menu meat choice. Now is the time to start shopping for a ham and thinking about how you want to season and garnish it.

Banish any idea that ham is a complicated meat to cook. It's easy.

In fact, if you get in a rush on Easter morning and don't do any-thing more than stick a cured, smoked or "city" ham in a 325 F oven for about 1 1/2 hours, you'll still get a moist and tasty meat to slice and serve.

Ham can be glazed, sauced or frosted to fit your family's taste preferences and your desire to prepare a dazzling entree for the Easter table.

If this is the first time you've bought ham, other than sliced ham at the deli, you are likely to be baffled at the choices you'll find in the supermarket meat case.

Not only will you find hams labeled "ham with natural juices," and "ham with water added," you might also sefe an economically priced ham called a "ham and water product."

There were hams at a local supermarket recently ranging in price from $1.59 per pound to $3.98 per pound, and a similar price range will probably be avail-able in many markets.

Which ham should you buy? Generally, the "ham and water

product"' is recommended as a slicing ham for sandwiches. The ham is injected with a high per-centage of water and brine solu-tion during the curing process, which means that the meat will dry as the water cooks out during baking.

This isn't a problem if you keep the ham basted or glazed during the baking so that the meat retains some moisture and doesn't get too tough.

I baked a "ham and water prod-uct" that was labeled as having 23 percent of its weight in added water and brining ingredients. It turned out moist, flavorful and just fine for slicing and serving with vegetables. The key was keeping it basted during the cook-ing so it didn't dry out.

You'll also need to decide if you want a boneless or bone-in ham. While the boneless ham is easier to slice, the bone-in ham has more

In fact, almost all the "gourmet" hams, the popular spiral-cut and honey-crusted hams sold at spe-cialty shops, are bone-in hams. Nutrients in the bone flavor the meat as it cooks.

Hams usually come either par-tially cooked or fully cooked. Even the fully cooked ham's taste and texture improves with additional cooking at home •_ the additional baking firms the meat.

Some hams are closely trimmed, meaning almost all the fat has been removed from the

outside surface of the ham. The closely trimmed ham can be bast-ed with juices or seasonings or glazed 30 minutes before the end of cooking time, but it shouldn't be scored before baking.

Scoring is when you cut dia-mond-pattern shallow slices through the layer of fat, 3/4-inch to 1-indh wide, all over the ham's surface. Scoring enables the fat to melt off the surface of the ham as it bakes and opens up surface areas for the flavors and spices from a glaze to penetrate the meat.

If you scored a closely trimmed ham, the juices of the ham would flow out too quickly as the ham cooks, and the meat would dry out.

Hams come from the rear leg of the pork carcass, though a ham, called a picnic ham, is from the lower portion of the front leg.

Picnic hams are usually boiled to tenderize them. The picnic ham has plenty of flavor and is inex-pensive, but it doesn't make a pretty Easter ham.

Since whole hams are quite large, much too large for most families, you'll often want to buy a half or portioned ham. These cute will be labeled rump or butt half; shank half; rump or butt portion, and shank portion. The half size is larger than the portion size.

Hams should be refrigerated before cooking and after cooking. And, though most cooks claim that freezing; a ham affects the

texture of the meat, I haven't found that the texture change is that noticeable or objectionable.

Trust me: If you have a small family, freeze leftover ham after the second day or you'll be sick of it by the third and end up throw-ing away perfectly good pieces simply because you are tired of the taste. Frozen ham will main-tain quality for up to two months.

There are dozens of recipes for baking hams. Following are two

mometer reaches 140 F. Place on warm, large platter. Let stand 15 minutes; keep warm.

Slice and serve with vegetables of choice (brussels sprouts and sweet

PEACH-GLAZED SMOKED HAM

1 half, fuiiy cooked, smoked bone-In ham {7 pounds)

1 / 2 cup peach jam 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 / 2 teaspoon ground ginger Rosemary sprigs for garnish

Preheat oven to 325 F. Remove skin and trim all but 1/4 inch of the fat from ham. Score fat, just through to the meat, into 3/4- to 1-inch diamonds. Place ham on rack in medium roasting pan.

Insert meat thermometer into center of ham, being careful that pointed end does not touch bone. Bake 11/2 hours.

Meanwhile, prepare glaze: In cup, mix jam, mustard and ginger until blended.

Serves 12. Cook's note: You may bake the

ham ahead of time, store up to 2 days in the refrigerator, then reheat for 1 hour in a 325 F oven.

MONTE'S HAM

One 15-pound smoked (partial-ly cooked), bone-in ham

1 1 / 2 cups orange marmalade 1 cup Dijon mustard 1 1 / 2 cups firmly packed

brown sugar 1 tablespoon whole cloves

Trim tough outer skin and fat from the ham. Place ham, meat side down, in a large roasting pan and score, making crosshatch inci-sions with a sharp knife. Insert meat thermometer into center of ham, being careful to not hit the

Brush glaze over ham. Bake ham 30 minutes longer, or until ther-

Roast at 300 F for 2 hours. Remove ham from oven and increase heat to 350 F.

For glaze, combine orange mar-malade, Dijon mustard and brown sugar in a medium bowl.

Stud ham with cloves, sticking 1 clove at the intersection of each

.crosshatch, then brush with glaze, and return to oven.

Cook ham about another 11/2 hours, or until thermometer reach-es 160 F, brushing with glaze at least 3 times.

Transfer to a cutting board or platter and allow to rest for about 30 minutes. Carve and serve warm or at room temperature.

Serves about 30. (Recipe from It's Always Christ-

mas," Food Focus booklet, Octo-ber 1998).

Tips for baked ham Read package label instructions

to check whether ham is partially or fully cooked. This information determines cooking time. A par-tially cooked ham must be baked to reach an internal temperature of 160 F. A fully cooked ham can be baked to an internal tempera-ture of 140 to 150 F.

If ham has a covering of a layers of fat, score it before baking. If the ham does not have a fat cover-ing, do not score it. Baste it as cooks and glaze it during the fin 30 minutes of baking. *'

Bake hams uncovered on a rack*;* in a foil-lined pan in the oven at;i 325 F unless recipe indicates oth-jl erwise. <

As the ham bakes, turn it overvj in the pan at least once so t ha>& the brine in the meat doesn t sink|< to the bottom and make the bot-jt torn quarter of the ham too salty >3 tasting. l\

Easter meal is talk topic at seminary Why do some churches bless

Easter baskets? That's one of the questions

that will be answered during a seminar on "The Easter Meal in the Polish American Home" at 7 p.m. Monday, March 25, in the Dombrowski Fieldhouse at SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary, 3535 Indian Trail, Orchard Lake. Admission is free. For more information:

(248)683-0310. Father Czeslaw Krysa,

seminary's director of liturgy, will also probe other aspects of the holiday custom such as social justice and the Easter basket, ancient creation myths, what 's really in an Easter egg, and the Polish roots of swieconka ("blessed Easter meal"). , The liturgy as celebrated in

the Polish American home is Krysa's area of specialization. The Easter Sunday meal was the topic of his doctoral disser-tation that he defended last summer at St. Anselm Pontifi-cal Liturgical Ins t i tu te in Rome, Italy, Krysa has also authored a book, A Polish Christmas Eve, dealing with that season's Polish holiday customs and traditions.

A.M. opportunities morning is

FOCUS ON ver wonder when

I the is

To begin with, there's usually an absence of wind and breeze

time o1 p h o t o g r ; It 's the morning...with-out doubt!

Early morning has always been my favorite time of day to get the

shots, 's a still-

ness in the air, ja calmness in the lighting and a •jjiood in the sky that is available £10 other time of the day.

Here are some reasons why I cecommend photographing iri the morning.

meaning that tali grasses tree branches will hold still for your camera. This means you can take full advantage of depth-of-field by placing foliage in the foreground of your composition and know that everything will come out sharp and in focus.

Early morning light and wispy clouds combine to help me get the dramatic cactus photograph shown here. Another time of day wouldn't have produced the same result.

Flowers, often covered with dew, are also very still in the morning and, if you're lucky, you'll find one with a butterfly. Because a butterfly's

weighted down with moisture in the early morning making it dif-ficult for them to fly away, you should be able to move in close with your camera for an impact-filled shot.

Another reason for pho-tographing in the morning is that you'll often find fog and mist. Low lying mist over the lake or layers of fog in the coun-tryside will give your photos an element of mood no other time of day will offer.

And keep on the lookout for cloud patterns. Clouds in the early morning will often have a

dramatic mood that 's easy to capture on film and could turn your picture into a winner.

Because of the low angle of the sun, morning light produces shadows, textures and tonal con-trasts just not available under a noon sun.

So remember the expression: "early to bed, early to rise, makes someone healthy, wealthy and wise...and gives them a ter-rific opportunity to get early morning shots, too!"

Monte Nagler is a fine art pho-tographer based in Farmington Hills. You can leave him a mes-sage by dialing (734) 953-2047 on a touch-tone phone. His fax number is (248) 644-1314.

A Multitude of Sins, by Richard Ford (Alfred A. Knopf, $25).

espite its title, ithis collection of

W sterling short stories by Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Ford {Independence Day) centers mostly around the transgres-sion of infidelity in the opening days of this fast-paced 21st centu-ry-

VICTORIA In spots as diverse DIAZ as a Mich igan s k i

; resort, a muddy Louisiana duck blind, a dark Connecti-cut road, and the lip of the Grand Canyon, Ford's characters are painted in colors both familiar and strange.

Familiar in that we recognize parts of ourselves in them; strange in that they have about them a touch of some-thing akin to ghostliness - a kind of removed, shadowy quality.

Sometimes they are hard to figure. Often, they are "blind" and out-of-touch. What they "see" isn't really what is there at all. They don't really mean anyone harm, but they are seek-ing rather desperately to come alive, it would seem. And, in so doing, pain and suffering can often be the order of the day for those around them.

The lead-off story, Privacy, offers a brief, but indelible, view of a young married man involved in a kind of dis-tant voyeurism, as his wife sleeps nearby. ("This was at a time when my marriage was still happy," the story begins.) Trouble is, when he encoun-ters up close what he has been gazing at from afar, he realizes he hasn't been "seeing" the truth at all.

BOOK REVIEW

In Quality Time, a writer named Wales and a married woman named Jena rendezvous at The Drake Hotel in Chicago on a snowy night, after he has witnessed the death of a woman in a traffic mishap.

When they meet, the couple talk, make love, take a walk, have dinner, say good-bye in the "amber light" of the sumptuous Drake. (He never tells her of the woman's death.)

Somewhere in all this, a mysterious fellow named Jim recognizes Wales in the hotel lobby, but Wales fails to rec-ognize him. At another time, Jena asks Wales if he would be willing to kill her husband. (His answer is " 'No, I guess I wouldn't.'")

The only "real" aspect of this world ) be their strong physical desire

other. But, in that isn't lasting.

Creche is a Christmas tale set in northern Michigan, where a non-nucle-ar family has gone to spend a non-tra-ditional holiday together at a cheesy little ski resort.

The family is made up of Faith (a "motion-picture lawyer"); her chubby mother, Esther; Roger ("Faith's sister Daisy's estranged husband"); and Faith's small nieces, Jane and Mar-jorie. Daisy is "a presence" here, but always an offstage one. As the little group "celebrates," it gradually becomes clear that Roger's interest in Faith goes far bgyond familial.

Ford's characters in this story are probably the most vividly and subtly etched of any in this collection, and therefore, among the most memorable.

From the concluding story, Abyss, in which an illicit affair concludes with a death; to a strange tale titled Puppy, in

Orleans couple find a strange canine abandoned in their lush garden; to Under the Radar, a story about a young Connecticut couple and the effect of adultery on their "idyllic" relationship; this fiction will prove to be disturbing and unsettling to many

But there's not a dull story in the bunch. And each tale is enhanced by Ford's dazzling way with words, plus his thought-provoking "take" on our crowded world that leaves us, ironical-ly, so very isolated from one another.

Once upon a time, The New York Times Book Review said about Richard Ford, "Nobody now writing looks more like an American classic."

Read this collection. See if you agree.

'History of Hockeytown' captures Wings moments

As a member of the Originial Six, the Detroit Red Wings have endured a rich and celebrated history.

In honor of the team's longevi-ty in the city of Detroit, the Red Wings have released History of Hockeytown, a 374-page, hard-cover, collector's book featuring the complete history of Detroit's hockey franchise.

Writ ten by Windsor Star columnist Bob Duff, History of Hockeytown provides the quintessent ia l story of how

History of Hockeytown traces the roots of Detroit's proud hock-ey history with an in-depth look at each of its first 75 years -from the purchase of the Detroit franchise on Sept. 25, 1926, to the stunning off-season acquisi-tions of future Hall of Famers Dominik Hasek, Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille in the summer of 2001.

Filled with never-before-seen photos, a full statistical record and features on all of Detroit's greates t players, History of Hockeytown is a must-read for any Red Wings fan.

Sweet books for kids are Easter treats BY S A M A N T H A C R I T C H E L L ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

Wacky Witzy, the duck from Little Suzy's Zoo, and his pals find Easter eggs, chocolate bunnies and bonnets in Witzy *s Backyard Easter Hunt (Scholastic, ages 2-4, $5.99) by Suzy Spafford.

Witzy invites young readers to help in their search, asking "Can you find Easter baskets?" and so on. He also encourages kids to count clouds in the sky and find the baby bunnies hid-ing under a bush.

And Witzy's board-book back-yard is a colorful wonderland chock-full of blooming flowers, plush grasses and plenty of garden friends. It's ah ideal place to spend Easter morning.

Friendly bunny Bunny, the simply drawn

star of Pat the Bunny, is back -and in the bath.

The soft white bunny gathers fr iends Tickle the pig and Squeak the mouse for a good

time in the tub in Bunny's Bath Time (Golden Books, up to age 3, $9.99) by Edith Kun-hardt, the daughter of Dorothy Kunhardt who wrote the origi-nal Bunny book in 1940.

Once Bunny and Squeak find Tickle, who is hiding in the laundry basket, they all enjoy splashing around and playing with enough toys that must make the tub a little crowded.

Illustrations are done in the soft colors that fans of this series expect to see.

Happy mouse Little Owen is a happy

mouse from the moment he opens ins eyes Jbaster morning to find a basket full of candy in Owen's Marshmallow Chick (HarperFestival, ages 2 and older, $6,95). .

The jelly beans are his favorite - until he eats the gumdrops. The buttercream eggs are even better than the gumdrops, and a big chocolate bunny is the best. But in the

end, it's the marshmallow chick that wins Owen over.

Owen, in a series of simple but bright drawings by author-i l lustrator Kevin Henkes, learns that there's more to a "favorite" candy than sugar in this sweet story.

Just joking The natural - and quick -

proliferation of rabbits is the punch line to many jokes, but in Leo Lionni's board book Let's Make Rabbits (Knopf, up to age 4, $6.99), two bunnies are born using a little imagination.

Scissors, a pencil and some colored paper come together to make the best-buddy bunnies.

They live out the journey from being two-dimensional characters to real rabbits.

A warning to parents , though: This book is also a child's first tutorial in how to make rabbit-ear shadows. :

Biblical story Easter (HarperCollins, ages

4-8, $15.95) uses stained-glass illustrations to complement Fiona French's telling of the Easter story, from Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, through Last Supper, and ending his ascension into heaven.

from King James Bible, yet the com-plicated story should be under-standable to children. The illustrations also explain the action described in the text.

Easter story is told as that - a story. It is not

oversimplified into a kiddie book but it also is not preachy, making it a good introduction for children of all backgrounds in families who use and prac-tice religion differently.

Gabblers, proud-parent invite all their forest-

dwelling neighbors to see their first egg, .But amid all the cele-bration, which Gabbier calls a "forest-fest," the egg disap-

TRAVEL

BY JUDITH DONER BERNE SPECIAL WRITER

I wonder if we are the only Americans who ever went to Turkey who didn't buy a Turkish

We didn't - only because we had no place for one - but it was-n't easy. It doesn't matter what kind of shop you enter - jewelry, leather, ceramics - there's a rug connection somewhere. Further-more, you absolutely can't walk down the street in Istanbul with-out being verbally pummeled by rug salesmen.

It's a game, yes, but it's also their livelihood. And with infla-tion rising 65 percent per year, what Turkey produces and sells is both a bargain for you and a necessity for them. Turks are a naturally hospitable people, as well as born to sell. Expect to be offered a glass of apple tea at every turn.

Istanbul is an exotic city. Vir-tual ly hovering on the edge between West and East, it is at once cosmopoli tan and Old World.

One of my fondest remem-brances is three Muslim women, heads covered, and wear ing baggy ha rem pan t s , jogging together along the Bosporus. Another is hearing the Muslim call to prayer each morning and evening through the open win-dows of my hotel room.

Sights and shops You could spend weeks wan-

der ing the various neighbor? hoods, but in five days you can visit most of the major sights and get a real feel for the city.

We deliberately chose the Four Seasons Hotel, a former Turkish prison, for its reputation - it 's often a t t he pinnacle of t he world's top hotels - and its loca-tion - in the heart of Istanbul's Sultanahmet area, also known as the Old City.

But since it was just a month after the tragedies of Sept. 11, it was only a quarter full. Friends stayed nearby at the San a tiny, more reasonably pric alternative with its own charm and good father-and-son man-agement. It too was relatively empty.

From both hotels, you have

1 Turkey's Grand Bazaar, originated In the 1450s, made me wonder why it took us until the 1950s to build Northland, the United States' first covered shopping mall. The bazaar's winding streets host 4,000 storefronts, reportedly the most under a single roof In the world. But don't overlook the fine shops along Nuruos-manlye Caddesi, a major street leading to the Grand Bazaar.

close-up views of two of Istan-bul's most famous edifices: the Blue Mosque and the Hag ia Sophia, which face one another across a small park.

You are also within easy walk-ing distance of Topkapi Palace and the very interesting Basilica Cistern, part of an underground waterway system from the 4th to 6th century that has been con-verted into artistic space.

Turkey's Grand Bazaar, origi-nated in the 1450s, made me wonder why it took us until the 1950s to build Northland, the Uni ted S ta t e s ' f i rs t covered shopping mall . The bazaa r ' s winding streets host 4,000 store-f ron t s , reportedly the most under a single roof in the world.

But don't overlook the f ine shops along Nuruosmaniye Cad-desi, a major street leading to the Grand Bazaar. I got a but-tery soft leather jacket at Rima Leder (Leather) at an amazing price from the sweetest Turkish shopkeeper I encountered.

You can't really window shop, because shopkeepers are on you immediately. He was the excep-tion. He told me that they send a lot of their coats without labels to Italy, which the Italians sell as theirs. But even he wanted to take me around the corner to a carpet shop!

The Spice Bazaar is smaller

Beautiful view: A visit to Hagia Sophia is one of the highlights of a trip to Istanbul.

even more exotic with its bins of spices and nuts, as well as other foods and merchandise. They have yards of the confec-tion known as Turkish Delight, which in truth is not a delight, even to a sweet lover like myself. It's also where, unlike the Grand Bazaar, you'll see more Turks than visitors.

Food The food in Turkey is fantas-

tic. The friends we traveled with, Bill and Ellen Sachs of West Bloomfield, agreed. So when we came home we gave a Turkish dinner party.

The Turks begin the meal with a group of appet izers called mezes. We served, eggplant puree flavored with garlic and lemon; yogurt salad that com-bined plain yogurt with cucum-bers; and shepherd's salad that is chunks of seedless tomato, cucumber, onion, green, pepper, radish and parsley in a vinai-grette dressing.

Turkish soups are fabulous.

This one, a cream of vegetable soup, contained no cream at all. The soup was pureed to acquire its thick texture.

Kebaps (Turkish spell ing) encompass much more t h a n what we think of meat and/or vegetables on a skewer. In fact neither of the kebaps we served was on a skewer at all. Ellen made kofte kebaps - meatballs made of minced lamb mixed with rice or bread crumbs.

I was able to fashion a resem-blance to my favorite Iskander kebap - t ha t usually is sliced lamb (I used gril led chicken strips), awash in tomato sauce, yogurt and melted butter - all on a bed of pita bread. Fresh Turk-ish yogurt is incredible, but we made do.

We actual ly never had in Turkey the amazing glazed apri-cots filled with creme fralche t h a t El len made for desser t straight out of the Turkish cook-book she brought back.

For its place in the world, its sights, people and, yes, food, I'd have to rank Istanbul No. 3, just back of New York and Par is , among the cities to which I've been. Like all world-class cities, you see so much and there's so much left to see.

Whalers open playoffs with win over London BY C . J . R I S A K S P O R T S E D I T O R cjrisak@oe.homecomm.net

It took awhile — about a period, to be exact — for the Plymouth Whalers to adjust to the kind of game their first-round opponent in the Ontario Hockey League playoffs, the London Knights, planned on playing.

Very chippy. A bit of reorganization between peri-

ods did wonders for the Whalers. Trail-ing 1-0 after a period, they tied it a minute into the second and then scored twice more before the period ended, enough to gain a 3-2 victory in the first game of the best-of-seven series which opened at Plymouth's Compuware

Arena Friday. Game Two is at 2 p.m. today in Lon-

don, with Game Three returning to Compuware at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Stephen Weiss, the Whalers' leading scorer during the season, scored what proved to be the game-winning goal and assisted on another. Chad LaRose and John Mitchell also scored for Plymouth.

"It got a little bit carried away in the first period," said Weiss. "There were too many penalties, both ways. If we keep taking penalties, they're going to score."

And even though during the season London had converted on just l-of-40 power-play chances against them, Ply-mouth could not afford to keep giving

OHL PLAYOFFS

the Knights man-advantage opportuni-ties. They did in that opening period; the Whalers had 11 penalties, the Knights had eight.

"That's the way they play," said Ply-mouth coach Mike Vellucci. "We have to play more disciplined. We talked about it all week long. They're the most penal-ized team in the league."

When LaRose went off with teammate Damian Surma already in the box with 3:45 left in the first, it gave London a two-man advantage for :25. It took the Knights just :13 to capitalize, with Mike

Stathopulos jamming the puck past Whaler goalie Jason Bacashihua on the left side of the goal. Rick Nash and Bryan Thompson assisted.

A penalty to Nash with five seconds left in the first allowed the Whalers to open the second period with a man-advantage, and they pounced on the chance. Weiss triggered it, taking a pass from Cole Jarrett near the top of the right circle and threading the puck through to LaRose on the left side for the tap in.

By then, the Whalers' dominance was beginning to emerge. Their 11-7 shot advantage after one period had grown to 22-9 with 8:00 left in the second, which meant they had outshot London

11-2 in the period. And worse was en route, at least for:

the Knights. . With 2:22 left in the second, John

Mitchell got loose down the right wing and beat London goalie Chris Houle with a shot to the far side, giving the Whalers a 2-1 lead. Jonas Fiedler and James Wisniewski (from Canton) assist-ed.

The boost to Plymouth — and con-versely, the deflating of London — was evident. When Weiss dug the puck out of a scramble in front of the net and slapped it past Houle 43 seconds later, the Whalers' lead had grown to 3-1

End of a dream Title hopes end for SC with loss in semis

BY THE OBSERVER STAFF There will be no national

championship for the School-craft College men's basketball team this year.

The top-ranked Ocelots had their 34-game winning strea^ and title dreams shattered Fri-day night in the semifinals of

. the National Junior College Ath-letic Association Division I tour-nament in Hutchinson, Kan.

Behind a 30-point effort by Jaime Lloreda, No. 4-rated Dixie State of St. George, Utah, pulled off the upset with a 72-69 win over Schoolcraft.

"I give Dixie credit," Ocelots coach Carlos Briggs said. "They kept fighting and fighting and eventually won the game.

"But I think the officiating took us out of our game. They let you play at one end but not at the other end."

The Rebels (33-3) benefited from an advantageous foul situ-

NJCAA BASKETBALL TOURNEY

ation. The Ocelots (34-1) were called for 26 fouls while the Rebels had 16.

With 10 minutes to go in the game, Schoolcraft's five starters were on the bench in foul trou-ble until six minutes were left. Rulon Harris later fouled out with 3:17 remaining.

Dixie was 18-of-32 at the line and Schoolcraft, which had a 48-34 rebounding advantage, 12-of-16.

"It changed our whole style of play," Briggs said of the officiat-ing. "It was a competitive game, but the officiating was not that good.

"Early in both halves, we had 10 fouls to their four. They were playing man-to-man; we were playing half zone and traps.

"Even despite that, we had a

chance to win the game." The Ocelots led at halftime,

31-23. Their biggest lead was 41-29 on a basket by Yaku Moton-Spruill with 15:24 left.

Mike Williams, who led Schoolcraft with 18 points, got his fourth foul right after that, and the game began to tu rn around.

Dixie took the lead with 7:26 left. Kevin Woodberry's basket with 20 seconds to play gave the Rebels a 71-67 lead.

Schoolcraft's Javon Clark hit two free throws to make it a two-point game, and Woodberry hit one of two for Dixie with 9.8

The Ocelots rushed the ball down the floor and got it to Clark in the corner for an attempted three with 3.3 sec-

onds remaining. But the shot was blocked by

Lloreda, who grabbed the ball in the air and called timeout as he was falling out of bounds. The Rebels kept possession, threw a long pass and ran out the clock.

"In the second half, we got our press in," Dixie coach Jeff Kid-der said. "We wanted to get them playing faster, because Schoolcraft did a great job in their half-court sets.

"When they-got in foul trouble, we wanted to keep pounding it inside, and Jaime did a great job of recognizing the double teams."

Moton-Spruill and Harris had 10 points apiece, Clark and Del-var Barrett eight each. Williams also had 15 rebounds, Clark and Barrett five apiece. Harris had six assists.

i John Fenbert took about 10 years off coaching in the 1980s. But since he returned to the sidelines, his Redford St. Agatha program has seen many more wins than losses.

Fenbert was named the 2002 Observerland Coach of the Year after guiding the Aggies to Catholic League C-D Division and district champi-onships as part of a 17-6 campaign in boys basket-ball.

Completing his ninth season with the Aggies, and arguably the most successful, Fenbert said the different parts of his team fit together extremely well in the second half of the season after a tough start that was marked with several close losses.

"This team knew it had a lot of heat on them to win, and they responded," Fenbert said. "We had to realize that Dan (Boulter) and Chris (Mayers) couldn't do it all themselves, then we had different guys every night stepping up." : Fenbert has racked up eight straight winning seasons at St. Agatha, and has captured two straight district championships.

ALL-AREA FIRST TEAM ; David Hoskins, Salem: Some first-rate players have come out of coach Bob Brodie's program at Plymouth Salem, and Hoskins rates with the best of them. His numbers certainly are impressive: He led the Western Lakes Activities Association champs in scoring (19,4 points per game}, rebounding (9.8), steals (2.2) and blocks (2.0) and was second in assists. ; "He's a very complete player," said Brodie of his all-confer-ence player. - But his greatest development, the Rocks' coach thought, was mental. "This season we saw some maturity In him. some leadership," Brodie said. "We knew he had physical ability.

but we wanted him to take charge more and he did."

Several NCAA Division I schools have shown interest in Hoskins, including Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, University of Detroit Mercy, Michigan State, Iowa and Drake.

Darnell Wilson, John Glenn: The 6-foot-5 Wilson averaged 20 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks per game for the WLAA playoff champion Rockets, who finished 15-7,

Over the final 12 games, the All-West-ern Lakes selection averaged 22 points per game.

"One of Darnell's greatest assets is his work ethic and his att itude," Glenn coach Joel Lloyd said. "His pract ice habits and his games don't vary. He's a hard worker day-ln and day-out."

Darien Bynum, Bishop Borgess: The only thing more impressive than senior Darien Bynum's numbers was his consis-tency.

At 6-foot-8, 2 5 0 lbs. Bynum was a load inside for Borgess th is season, averaging 22 points and 12 rebounds per game. His season-high in scoring was j u s t 30 , showing how o f ten he scored close to his season's average, and he had jus t one game with fewer than 10 rebounds. He has ali the physi-cal tools to someday compete at the Division I college level, according to his coach Lloyd Praedel.

" H e is a very well-rounded player," Praedel said. "He can pi ay with his back to the basket, and he's quick enough to guard players on the perimeter. He has. the full game."

Chris Mayers, St. Agatha: When it counted the most, senior guard Chris Mayers delivered.

Mayers, a four-year starter for the Aggies, turned in a terrific senior sea-son, averag ing 1 8 . 2 po in t s , 3 . 4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.9 steals per game in leading St. Agatha to a 17-6 record. He also led the team in f ield goals made (158) and 3-pointers made (51).

"We s t r ugg led ear ly , and i t was because of the leadership of our seniors that we turned it around," said Aggies coach John Fenbert.

Andrew Meagrow, Canton: The imp rovemen t in M e a g r o w ' s game between hi? junior and senior seasons was phenomenal, certainly leaving some college coaches thinking the best is yet to come.

An ail-WLAA selection, Meagrow led the Chiefs in scoring (13 .0 points a game) and rebounding (6.0) while mak-ing 45 percent of his shots. Perhaps his most impressive ability was his range; left unguarded, Meagrow would often hit three-pointers from well behind the arc.

"He really, improved from his junior year," said his coach, Jeremy Rheault, " to come out and lead us in scoring, make all-conference and now all-Observ-er. He worked at it, and he worked at his inside game, too. We needed him to pick up his rebounding and he did."

SECOND TEAM Matt Bartnick, Stevenson: The 5-9

senior point-guard was Mr. Clutch for the 14-9 Spartans.

The All-Lakes Division pick averaged 12 points and six ass is ts per game, while shooting 75 percent from the free throw line (45 of 60) and 42 percent from the field (85 of 203).

"Matt has been our leader the last

couple of years," Stevenson coach Bill Dyer said. "He showed a lot of character when the game was on the line. He took care of the ball and made free throws down the stretch. In big games he made the big basket."

Dan Boulter, St. Agatha: Mr. Every-thing for St. Agatha turned in a senior season that lived up to everyone's high expectations.

Senior forward Dan Boulter led the Aggies to the C / D Cathol ic League championship as well as a district title. He averaged 18 points, 9 .8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3.9 steals per game, and had a season-high of 43 points. He also shot 45 percent from the field and 76 from the line, and provided excellent leadership to the team.

"These guys knew, with all the expe-rience Dan and Chris had, that there was a lot of pressure on them to win," Fenbert said. "Once we relaxed, things came easier for us."

Mike Leach, N. Farmington: being an under-sized post player, Leach was successful battling and competing against bigger players in the paint. »;

He averaged 15 points per game to lead the Raiders, shooting 69 percent on free throws (116-of-168) and almost 45 percent from the f ield (103-230).-The ail-WLAA player also averaged five rebounds.

Coach Tom Negoshian c i ted " thS great effort and att i tude he brings to practice every day. He leads by exam-ple. He missed two pract ices in two' years, and both of those we had to get him to say home. . .r<

"He consistently was able to demand double teams and score in the post . Through hard work and dedication, he learned the skills and fundamentals to be able to overcome his lack of size."

Tim Shaw, Clarencevllle: The football standout, bound for Penn State, also made his presence known en route -to All-Metro Conference honors.

Shaw, a four-year varsity player and three-year starter, was his team's lead-ing scorer wi th an average of 18.2' points per game. •

He is second in career scoring over the last decade with 730 points, second only to Scott Wion's 986 . Shaw also averaged 9.2 rebounds and 3.5 steals' He was Clarenceville's best defended too.

"He's just an all-around natural ath-lete," coach Kevin Murphy said. "Ahy time you're 6-2 and can do a 360-degree dunk, that 's pretty impressive.

"He told me, when the season was over, he wished he had worked harder in the off-season, because he could have been really good. He put most of hts time into football and it paid off. But W3 numbers are pretty darn good."

Ryan Clark, Catholic Central: On„a team full of pinpoint outside shooters and ballhandiers, someone had to do tKd dirty work for Catholic Central, and that someone was senior center Ryan Clark.-I

Clark and the Shamrocks came within a few seconds of defeat ing Classes state semifinaiist Detroit Redford in tHfc f irst round of districts, culminating an excellent season for CC. Clark averaged 11.3 points and 1 1 rebounds per game, providing the tough interior defense that any successful team needs.

"Ryan was our best rebounder arid best defensive player," said coach Rick Coratti.

Heart from page C9 Center from page CQ

Threats -Many hear t patients have a

prescr ipt ion to t ake aspi r in , Coumadin (warfarin) or Plavix (clopidogrel), to thin their blood, prevent clott ing, and reduce their risk of heart attack, stroke or other problems. But dietary supplements like gingko biloba, ginseng, garlic, vitamin E, fish oil or coenzyme Q10 can also cause blood-thinning (anticoagu-lant) effects, and doses aren ' t carefully studied and controlled like those for medicines. The total anti-clotting effect from taking both at once, or other interactions between drugs and supplements, are what worry experts.

Other complementary or alter-native medicine (CAM) t reat-ment approaches, from prayer, meditation and yoga to chiro-pract ic and acupuncture ses-sions, do not pose a specific haz-ard when combined with conven-tional heart treatments. Many patients find them to be benefi-cial at reducing stress or increas-ing body function. They were also included in the U-M study.

The survey gave some surpris-ing results. "Of the 145 patients surveyed, 74 percent reported using some sort of CAM thera-py," says Kline-Rogers. "Sixty percent of the surveyed patients used supplements, vitamins or herbs , while 43 percent used mind-body or body techniques. Many patients used both."

Even when multivitamins and prayer , two widely used and accepted "alternative" approach-es, were subtracted, 60 percent of all the patients used at least one remaining CAM technique.

Among all the pat ients who used CAM techniques, 31.8 per-

cent used at least one blood-thin-ning prescription medication and one diet supplement that could reduce clotting. This particular statistic troubles Kline-Rogers and her colleagues most. In the study they're now conducting, they're asking hear t pat ients about their use of prescription medicat ions and CAM tech-niques, their intake of beverages such as green tea and red wine that can also interfere with clot-t ing , and the i r incidence of minor bleeding symptoms.

Informing the doctor The vast majority - 75 per-

cent - of people who chose food supplements, vitamins or herbs told their doctor what they were taking. The rest said they didn't think it was necessary, or didn't care to discuss it, or that their doctor didn't ask. Kline-Rogers and her colleagues were pleased by the high percentage of those who told their doctors. But they note t h a t both clinicians and pat ients need more education about the importance of talking to one another about CAM use, due to the potential risks of bad interactions between CAM tech-niques and conventional ones.

When asked about their great-est concerns about CAM tech-niques, a majority of CAM users said they were worried their cho-sen approaches wouldn't work, or were a waste of money. On average, using prices from local stores and practitioners, patients spen t about $10 a month on dietary CAM approaches, and $98 a month on body-based or mind-body approaches per-formed by practitioners such as chiropractors, acupuncturists, Reiki masters and yoga instruc-tors.

human contact or connection. That's your soul brain," Weissman said. "We try to address the five parts of the whole self: thinking self, the creative self, the physical, loving and spiritual self. Unless you can address all, you've missed the boat."

The Reflection Spa, which Weissman said is the soul of the building, addresses patients who respond best with their soul brains. The spa serves as a calming refuge to patients.

Sculpture and artwork depict the stages and complex emotions of the soul's journey, from wholeness, to loss and sorrow, to redemption, and a return to wholeness.

In the center of the spa, a still reflection pool reminds those who gaze into it that whatever else is raging in their lives around them, there is a place of serenity in the cen-ter. A singe drop of water disturbs the perfect palm in the pool, a reminder that even in the midst of peace, there is always change.

The spa serves as a place for patients to meditate, relax or just sit. "Some people just come in and read the paper," Weissman said.

Every week the spa, with its heated tile floor, is the site for yoga classes, music thera-py and support groups.

The offerings at the center are so unique, Providence developed a monthly program

known as Boost Camp, The camp is an all-day introduction to everything the center offers and is open to all cancer patients, whether they are being treated at Providence or not.

"It's kind of like our own version of a Whit-man Sampler," said Weissman. "Patients

come in and we give them an empty wooden ^ toolbox. Throughout the day they are intro-duced to nutrition therapy and meditation ^ and massage therapy. And everywhere they go, we give them something to put in the box.r. They are the 'tools' for survival."

Although Weissman and the center's staff -[ know the camp and the center's programs ^ help patients and families, Weissman said ^ the program needs more statistical credibili- *-ty. So Providence sought, and was awarded a $300,000 grant from the National Institute'of'T

Health to conduct studies and collect empiri-X M

cal data on the program's effectiveness. -"This is the largest grant we have ever

won, and it gives this center a lot of credibili- ,T ty. A lot of doctors are still hesitant to recom-V mend massage or meditation for their .-v patients," Weissman said. "But we're looking _ to do the research and to meet the same standards as other evidence-based medicine. We want our programs to be evidence-based as well so they need to meet the same rigor- t-ous standards."

Marshall from p age C9

I learned to speak up, live in the moment, take a few risks, collect kisses along the way, and always remember that what makes time on Earth so precious is that none of us gets out of here alive, so I had better learn to live,

A lot has changed since then. I sold my skis. The kisses that keep me going are from a gor-geous 4-yearrold,. the son I didn't think I'd have.

And today, my surgeon's phi-losophy may not be so uncom-

mon. I would be able to find a network of support, as I learned at the Center. I could throw pot-tery. I could attend yoga and nutrition classes, and find sup-port groups. There are a host of options and opportunities and help for people who want them.

Success isn't always measured in months or years or survival or death. The process is as impor-tant as the results. Still, my trip to wholeness was a success. I prove it every time my wee one asks me to pick up that qld gui-

Ask the Orthodontist "Cosmetic Braces for the Teeth "

Perhaps the most significant esthetic advance in orthodontics over the past decade involves bonding brackets directly onto patient's teeth. Brackets are tiny devices that are used to attach the main wire known as the archwire. In the past, individual stainless steel rings, known as bands, were wrapped around and cemented to each tooth. Although this method was effective, it made for a mouth of metal that was often referred to as a "tin grin". Today, use of bands is usually limited to the posterior or back teeth, where they can sustain greater forces and serve as anchors to the wire. The front teeth are treated with tiny brackets, which can be available in dear, silver, gold or even titanium. These less visible brackets all but eliminate the self-condousness that used to be associated with the larger metal braces.

The small brackets allow for lighter and more comfortable forces to be applied to the teeth in addition to the benefit of easier oral hygiene for the patient. Even the brackets can be extra small in size depending upon the orthodontist's selection, usually based on his dexterity and size of his hands.

The n e w bracketing system can make placement of the orthodontic appliance quicker and more comfortable. For many it can be made fun with the different color rubber rings that hold the wire to the bracket. These colors are changed each month and helps make orthodontics fun!

Parents with any orthodontic concerns for their children should consult an orthodontist concerning the need for orthodontic treatment. As dental specialists, an orthodontist has elected to limit his practice to this specific area of expertise and has received additional training by an accredited dental school for advanced education. Our office is located at 35200 Schoolcraft Rd. in Livonia. (734-261-8860).

What Is a Donor-Advised Fundi

A donor-advised fund is a char i tab le giving product th rough which an individual makes irrevocable contributions to a non-profit organization that administers the program. The donor advises the non-profit how to invest the money in designat-ed pools of mutual funds with different levels of risk.

The donor can then advise the non-profit to make grants from the account to qualified chari-ties. The contributions are tax-deductible in the year the non-profit receives the assets, and growth in the account is tax-free.

, A donor-advised fund is differ-ent from a foundation.

With a donor-advised fund, donors can immediately deduct contributions of up to 50 percent of their adjusted gross income for cash donations in the year the fund receives the donation and up to 30 percent of adjusted gross income for gifts of appreci-a ted asse ts . By comparison, deductions for cash and appreci-ated assets given to private foun-dations are 30 percent and 20 percent, respectively. Unused contribution deductions can be accrued for up to five years.

Unlike the requirements for forming a private foundation, creating a donor-advised fund does not entail start-up costs, excise taxes or annua l tax-reporting obligations. And annu-al expenses, which are often sub-stantial with a private founda-tion:, typically range from 1.3

percent to 3 percent wi th a donor-advised fund.

Once an account is funded, any potential asset growth in the account is tax-free, enabling the donor to make potentially larger future charitable gifts. Donors can make charitable gifts from the account anonymously, if they wish, and can name successors and counselors to the account who would be able to make grants from the account after the original donor(s) death.

Choosing a Donor-Advised Fund

Because they require donors to make an irrevocable gift, donor-advised funds typically request that a donor has the demonstrat-ed means to fund an account, with common ini t ia l funding requirements set at $10,000 or more. However, that amount is typically far less than the assets required to start a private foun-dation.

comparing donor-Brimhall recom-advised

mends potential donors pay par-ticular attention to a fund's:

• Inves tmen t options. Are the re mul t ip le inves tment options and do they seem com-patible with your goals for asset growth? Are you able to recom-mend how your account assets are invested?

• Expenses. Do annual admin-istrative expenses and fees seem reasonable?

• Report ing process. What type of records will you receive and how often?

• Donation process. How sim-ple is it to recommend a charita-ble donation from your account? Who can assist you?

Funding a Donor-Advised Fund

Donor-advised funds can be ideal for individuals who have recently received a large amount of cash, such as through an inheritance or the sale of a busi-ness, or for those with substan-tial appreciated securities.

Individuals who don't have

sufficient assets to start a donor-advised fund, but who want to establish a chari table legacy, may wish to pool the i r funds with family members or friends to create a suff ic ient ly large account.

Even with the recent fluctua-tions in the stock market, mil-lions of Americans hold appreci-ated securities, making them potential candidates for opening a donor-advised fund. And phi-lanthropy continues to grow. According to Giving USA, a lead-ing source on national charitable giving, individual Americans gave 5 percent more to charity in 2000 than they did in 1999: An astonishing $152.07 billion.

"Americans are very generous in their charitable giving, as-evi-denced by the outpouring of gen-erosity following the Sept. 11 attacks as well as their continual commitment to local and nation-al causes and organizat ions , Brimhall says. "Donor-advised funds are an excellent option for

those looking to incorpora te charitable giving into their com-prehensive financial plan."

To learn more about the tax advantages of donor-advised funds, check with your tax advi= sor. If you'd like to determine if a donor-advised fund is potentially appropriate to your charitable and financial goals, work with a knowledgeable financial advisory

Contributions to the American Express Charitable Giving Pro-gram are irrevocable gifts made to the National Philanthropic Trust, a public charity. Individu-als considering contributions to the Program should consult their legal or tax advisors. Informal tion about fees and expenses is available from your American Express financial advisor.

"This is a natural move-up for people on the Adams Road corridor," said Frank Moceri. "People who have the notion they can't afford this don't realize how affordable we are."

Base prices range from $650,000 for a story-and-a-half of 3,602 square feet to $700,000 for a colonial of 4,064 square feet.

Four floor plans - all with four bedrooms, three full baths and two half baths - are available.

"Some people want to add a room, a fireplace, a clos-et," Moceri said. "We have the ability to do that as custom builders,"

Stairs, one going up to the loft, the other down to the basement are conveniently tucked "out of the way.

The master suite has large windows on two sides and sliding patio doors facing the rear. The master bath has an oversized, shower, dual sinks and a large walk-in closet.

The loft is vaulted and could be used for an office, sewing room, den or library. It would be great to use as a computer room or study area for the kids, as it is easily accessible from the

main part of the home. Two other bedrooms and a second

full bath are to the left of the entry. A large linen closet and walk-in storage closet are just outside the bath.

The living and dining rooms form a large great room, completely open and spacious. There is a wood stove in the corner of the vaulted room with three patio doors, side-by-side, opening to the rear of the home.

If this were a walk-out basement, a deck over the basement could be formed. A deck to the back yard if the basement is underground would make these three doors invaluable.

The left rear corner of the Con-queror is dedicated to the kitchen and nook. The L-shaped kitchen has a large window over the sink, an

island in the center and a Lazy Suzan in the corner. Across from the sink is a large wall pantry. The nook has three big windows to pro-vide natural light. There is a door opening to the side yard. The utility between the nook and : two-car garage has a sink and folding table.

Elderly parents sometimes move into that new home as, permanent guests.

When that kind of reverse relocation happens, adult chil-dren become part-time care-givers, landlords and compan-ions as well as full-time chil-dren.

It's not an easy situation, but it can be dealt with.

According to a firm that over-sees remodeling projects neces-sary to ready homes for live-in parents , adult children can undertake a number of projects to provide a safe and secure environment while assuring the least interruption to family life.

the case today. A two bedroom has much greater demand than ever before. Here are some of the reasons:

M o r e S i n g l e H o m e o w n e r s There has been a significant trend toward increased home ownership by single people. As we all know, it is more difficult to save money. Yet, home ownership provides one of the few tax shelters that remain. Coupled with the natural inflation in home values, more and more single people are turning to home ownership. Of course, a two bedroom home is usually adequate for the needs of most single buyers.

S i n g l e P a r e n t s As single parents become an increasing percentage of our population, they too drive the demand for two bedrooms. This increase in demand drives the prices of two bedroom homes higher as well as the price of condominiums. Remember, real estate values always reflect only one factor, demand.

T h e E l d e r l y As people are living longer, they are remaining in their two boH-v >om homes, thus shrinking the number of tw~ Irooms available. With a shrinking supply and increasing demand, it doesn't tak< great mathematician to understand why two bedroom homes have become a player.

- A D V I C E . " ' . If you are in the market to buy your next home, and you don't need more than two bedrooms, you may want to consider a two bedroom home as a good choice and a good investment.

a com B Y DIANE GALE ANDREASSI SPECIAL WRITER

The next 12 months should be better than the last couple of years for people looking for jobs in bank-ing and finance, according to local

The need for bank employees in metropolitan Detroit rose at nearly f one-fifth the rate of other indus- i tries. The experts point to three major reasons, which include the purchases of local banks by out of state companies, increased technol-ogy and Michigan tax laws.

From 1991 to 2000 there was a 3.9 percent increase in the num-bers of people employed in finance and banking in the Detroit metro-politan area that includes Wayne, Oakland, Monroe, Macomb, St. Clair and Lapeer counties, accord-ing to Jim Rhein, Michigan Department of Career Develop-ment labor market analyst.

However, in Michigan overall, there was a 7 percent increase in banking and finance during that same time period. The state has nearly double the employment in banking and finance compared to metropolitan Detroit, because Grand Rapids and communities on the west side of the state have seen an increase in bank jobs deal-ing with loans as a result of resi-dential growth in those areas, accord-ing to David Littmann, senior vice-president and chief economist of Com-erica Bank.

Nationally, Michigan is lagging in terms of employment growth, because it isn't known to offer comparatively low tax rates for businesses looking to build or relocate, Littmann said.

"It's not often the first choice for cor-porations looking to expand," Littmann said. "We used to offset things, like weather and being off the beaten track, by having no income tax to give busi-nesses a chance to compete effectively. We're above average for

Slow growth The banking and finance industries

have grown at a much slower rate than in other occupational fields.

Sunday M a r c h 24 . 2 0 0 2

Total employment for the Detroit metropolitan area increased 19.5 per-cent from 1991 to 2000. Littmann explained that the increase was largely driven by the auto industry and its suppliers during a time when auto sales broke all time records.

Prom 2000 to 2001 the employment rate in banking and finance was flat with no significant increase or decline. The stable figure is significant, howev-er, considering that from 2000 to 2001 there was a 1 percent decrease in over-all employment,

"Obviously 2000 to 2001 was a fairly poor year for wage and salary employ-ment, while there was fairly strong growth from 1991 to 2000," Rhein said. "In the banking category you're seeing less growth, but on a good note, with the downturn during the recession, the

banking industry stayed flat and you didn't see the decrease. There was no change as opposed to the state decreas-ing in wage and salary slightly."

Acquisitions The lower growth rate in finance and

banking in the metropolitan area was also caused by acquisitions of local banks by out of state banks, Littmann said. These purchases led to cost cut-ting rounds that trimmed most depart-ments, but significantly in accounting areas, lending functions and data pro-cessing to eliminate redundancies.

The local banks that were bought out, however, caused an increase in employment for cities, like Chicago, Raleigh and New York, which are l i e headquarters for many of the purchas-ing companies.

"The winners were headquar-tered elsewhere," Littmann said. "Those cities gained considerably, especially in management employ-ment"

Also, the recession locally affects the financial institutions that are forced to trim staff to correspond to the reduced growth rates of loans and other assets in order to maintain efficiency, Littmann added.

Meanwhile, Comerica, the largest bank with headquarters in Michigan, has expanded. Comeri-ca has made considerable bank acquisitions in California and is the fourth largest bank in that state. These purchases in Califor-nia have also caused more activity at the Comerica headquarters in Detroit, said Littmann adding that the future employment status in the banking and finance industries win improve, but will come at a slow pace.

"I suspect as the economy recov-ers we will see a 2 percent growth in employment statewide in bank-ing," he explained. "I know well be expanding in employment, but I don't know how much. It reflects the growth in the economy. Eco-nomic growth, nationally, will be , 2,4 percent and the banks should be picking up on that."

Some of the decline in the banking and finance employment can be attrib-uted to a relaxation in interstate bank-ing restrictions in 1994, according to Anjan Thakor, University of Michigan Edward J, Frey, professor of banking and finance and chairperson of the finance department at the U-M busi-ness school.

"Now we can have out of state banks acquiring local banks " Thakor said. "The other reason is that financial ser-vices in general have been consolidat-ing around the globe." 1

Increased technology has also low-ered the need for employees, he added.

"More and more banks are cutting back on how many tellers they have," Thakor said. "They're going to ATMs and remote banking and they need fewer people."

o f J W d i l d ! There is an old advertising saying that claims Babies and Puppies are the two cutest things imaginable. We at The Observer & Eccentric Newspapers disagree. We feel that Babies and BUNNIES are much cuter!

Send in a picture of your infant with the Easter Bunny, and a short message to the Observer & Eccentric Newspapers. We will put the picture and your message in all of our 16 papers throughout Wayne and Oakland Counties. If you don't have a picture

of your child with die Easter bunny, another picture will do, We would still

like to see their smiling faces in the paper for this special holiday.

-)

KELLY age 5 You make being a Grandparent fun! Have a special Easter and don't eat

too many jelly beans! Love Grandma & Grandpa

The cost is $25 for a 1x2 (2 inches x 2 inches)

Or $50 for a 2x2 (4.25 inches x 2 inches)

So, just send in that picture and don't forget to place your special message next to the picture.

The deadline for this promotion will be on Wednesday, March 27th at 6:00 p.m. The actual run date will be on Easter Sunday, March 31st. You will be able to see the children on Easter Sunday in one of our editorial sections.

Below is information on how to send in your special message with payment, or you can call 7 3 4 - 9 5 3 - 2 0 7 3 with any questions.

Folks take time to look for that special item advertised by a neighbor who sold his cottage or the woman who can't have a dog in her new apartment. They spend time shopping our friendly ciassified marketplace.

So, if you have something you're not using, or if you're looking for an item and want to buy it close to home, pick up your Observer & Eccentric Classifieds.

It's all about RESULTS!
