Advisory group has 37 suggestions for school

B Y T O N Y BRUSCATOSTAFF WRITER

Elim in atin g all employee overtim e, increasing lunch prices b y 5 percent, and deleting busing fo r high school students are three o f 3 7 budget consider­ations to be given the Plym o u th - Canton Board o f Edu catio n , w hich is faced w ith cutting m il­lions o f dollars fro m the 2003- 04 budget b y Ju n e 30

T h e Budget Advisory Com m ittee, m ade Up o f trustees and district residents, came up w ith the ideas in an effort to expand die list o f alternatives the seven-mem ber school board w ill be discussing as possible cuts

“I hope the ideas w ill give the administration some added ideas, things to th in k about, when decid­ing cuts,” said Ju<fy M ardigian, the school board treasurer w ho heads the advisory committee. “The object was to get more ideas to help the board thin k through lots o f different issues.”

O th e r suggested areas fo r the board to consider include

■ H irin g a consultant on a

com m ission basis to seek cor­porate sponsorships

■ Pay-to-participate extracurricular activities

■ A freeze on textbook p u r­chases

■ Across-the-board cuts m supplies and purchases

■ D e vising a sinking fu n d fo r m a jo r m aintenance and repair­in g buses

■ N e g o tia tin g price reduc­tio n s fro m vendors

■ P u ttin g a freeze on n onin- structional sta ff h irin g

■ D ia lin g dow n the therm o­stats m all buildings

■ C u ttin g the school week to fo u r days to save transportation costs

■ H o ld in g large scale fu n d ­raisers fo r the district through th e Ed u ca tio n a l Excellence Fo u n d a tio n

dents th a n anticipated, Ryan said the increased foundation grant m oney ($ 7,0 2 5 per stu­dent) could push dow n the defiat to about $3 m illion

A n d , there’s the thre at by G o v Je n n ife r G ran h o lm to cut this year’s foundation gran t, which could cost P lym o u th - C an ton nearly a m illio n dollars and reduce its foundation p a n t next fiscal year

“I f we’re going to leave as much m oney as possible m d ie classroom , we’re going to have to look a t other areas to cut,” said M ard igian

Ryan has already said there will be layoffs as part of the budget cut­ting process, which committee member Bill Pratt said is inevitable.

“I f w e need to cut $5 m illion fro m the budget, there’s only one w a y to get it i f 87 percent o f the budget is people, said Pratt

F o r six generations, D o m in ic M altese’s fa m ily has had its hands in the construction business in one w ay o r another

N o w those hands, and his com pany’s roots, are planted firm ly in Plym outh

M altese, w h o m oved his D J M altese Construction/Services firm to its M a m Street address m Novem ber, recognized th a t a lo t o f his clientele base — and his com pany’s grow th area — had m oved o u t this w ay, so his com pany ju s t followed it fro m its fo rm e r D e arbo rn location

Maltese designs and m anages the construction o f projects ranging fro m residential rem odeling to m ajor industrial projects, w ith a prim ary focus on whole-house renovation

“It ’s a niche I like to do,” said M altese “It ’s fu n , it’s interesting and it ’s challenging A n d it’s an area where n o t a w hole lo t o f people kn o w how to do it rig h t I do ”

I f there’s anything to the adage “practice makes perfect,” he should be doin g it rig h t, hav­ing come fro m a long line o f construction w hizzes H is father, D o m in ic M altese, S r , start­ed out m the fa m ily busmess in 19 4 6 , w o rking out o f the fa m ily hom e

O ve r the next 20 years o r so, th e com pany grew to about 100 employees and plastered some 2 5 ,0 0 0 hom es and hundreds o f com m er­cial buildings B u t, according to M altese, the advent o f dryw all to o k its to ll on the plastering busmess, and D o m in ic Senior started a general contracting firm in 1965

In the late 1970s, sons D o m m ic and Jo e jo in e d him and to o k the firm in a new direction Construction m anagem ent R a th e r than doing the general contracting w o rk them selves, the com pany began organizing and m anaging con­struction teams

“ I like it better because it gives us a chance to w o rk w ith ow ners as a team player, rather th a n being m an adversarial relationship as a contrac­tor,” M altese said

T h e com pany has evolved as the business has changed In the old days, M altese said, contrac­tors could get an architect to do some sketches* then p u t a deal together w ith a handshake fro m the owner

In today’s high-tech and highly litigious w o rld , though, th a t m ethod is n o longer good enough N o w , m uch m ore detail is needed

“Today you can’t d o it th a t w ay because it’s sor ‘legal,’” he said “You have to have detailed draw ­ings and everything has to be covered, because everyone is ‘sue’ happy”

T h e other benefit to the w ay busmess is done

Dominic and Dawn Maltese, with sons Andrew and Christopher, have moved their construction management firm from Dearborn to Plym outh's Mam Street

today is cost-efficiency, M altese said In the old days, contractors w ould come up w ith a lu m p ­sum fee, and th e n charge extra fo r added costs Tbd ay, estim ates are done a t the outset, so th a t neither ow ners n o r contractors are faced w ith a n y big surprises

“M y goal n o w is to com plete a project as soon as possible because it ’s cost-effective fo r m e,” M altese said “T h e old w ay was the contractors an d the ow ners pre tty m uch ham m ered each o the r T h is w ay is m uch b e tte r”

B u t the econom ic d ow n tu rn has taken its bite In 1999 , M altese d id five huge hom es — some as large as 2 4 ,0 0 0 square feet — fo r abo u t $24 m il­lio n

“Today, th a t m arket has k in d o f d ried up,” M altese said “There’s still som e o f th a t w o rk out th e re , b u t n o t like it was ”

T h e com pany n ow focuses on design-and- b u ild projects w here M altese has th e m designed, th e n hires and manages the contractors to b u ild them

“I t ’s a tre n d th a t’s grow ing, he said “ It sim pli­fies the project, and it lets you b n n g projects in o n tigh ter budgets”

W hen M altese noticed a percentage o f his com pany’s grow th — not to m ention his clientele — was m oving out this w ay, he packed up his D e arbo rn offices and m oved them to Plym outh H e ’s lookin g to b u ild a com plex dow ntow n sim i­la r to the q u a lity digs he had in D e arb o rn , b u t fo r now is leasing space on M a in Street near W in g

I t ’s a com pany Jo e and his brother, D o m m ic , started as a s p in -o ff o f th e ir construction com pany nearly 20 years ago W h ite R O C K m oved to Plym ou th m N ovem ber

“W e do all kinds o f im p n n te d products,” Jo e M altese said “It ranges fro m busmess to prom o­tion al ”

W h ite R O C K essentially spun o ff p f the construction com pany Jo e runs w ith his b ro the r T h e siblings fou n d themselves using m an y o f the im p n n te d prod­ucts — pens, shirts, rulers, etc W h e n d ie construction busi­ness h it a d ry spell, th e y started looking fo r alternate sources o f r e v e n u e

b it and looking fo r ways to sup­plem ent o u r incom e,” Joe M altese said “W e’d always bought this type o f th in g , so we decided to get in to the business ourselves ”

W hile Jo e M altese is still in the construction busmess w ith his brother, his m ain focus is W h ite R O C K

W h e n we were b o th doing construction som etimes it can be difficu lt w o rk in g w ith fam ily, because everyone has his ow n ideas about h o w things

should be done,” Jo e said w ith a sm ile “ W h e n w e decided to open (W h ite R O C K ) it w orked o u t b e tte r fo r b o th o f us ”

W h ile the com pany distrib­utes a w ide range o f products, the three m o st p o p u lar seem to be pens, cloth in g and mugs

W h ite R O C K is a d istrib u tor o f its im p n n te d products Joe and R ita take orders fro m their clients, then shop aro u n d for the best possible pn ce T h e actual im p n n tm g is done at the fa c to ry w here the in d ivid u al products are m ad e , an d then W h ite R O C K m akes sure they get to the custom er

W h ile th e y have one national custom er, m ost o f W h ite R O C K ’s business is regional, com ing fro m the I n ­state area o f M ic h ig a n , O h io an d In d ia n a .

building, she began commiser­ating'v^ith tiie Hulls

And a campaign coordinator was bom

“This was sent by God,” Zmudczynski said “Everyjob I thought I was going to get fell through Then I come here and Jackie said they needed help It was a case of right place, right tim e”

If she wanted the job (and she did), Zmudczynski had to jum p right in Her first day was the Kettle Kickoff ceremony, at which the Army was taking its first list o f volunteers signing up to nng bells at the Army’s 23 kettle locations in Plymouth, Canton, Northville and Belleville

At first it was hectic, but Zmudczynski quickly got tilings m order

“She really had to hit the ground running,” Steve Hull said “Her organizational ability was evident from the start If she hadn’t had that, I doubt seriously she would have been able to handle all the things that get thrown at you in that situa­tion”

The job entails coordinating nearly 700 volunteers, The first bell-ringers of the day pick up their kettles a t around 8 30 a.m , and the kettles aren’t col­lected until around 9 30 p m. Volunteers are scattered throughout the four communi­ties, and difficulties such as no- shows or kettle problems fre­quently occur

With most of the Army’s employees working 60-70 hours a week during the campaign, it was a situation not for tile faint of heart Filling 23 sites for 12 hours a day is a lot of organiz­ing.

But Zmudczynski thrived on

it“It was the most challenging,

yet the most rewarding, work I Ve ever done,” she said “I couldn’t believe the number of residents who called to say, ‘When I was a little kid, the Salvation Army helped us, so

now I want to help you ’” Judging by the results,

Zmudczynski’s first Red Kettle campaign was obviously a suc­cessful one The campaign raised some $129,000, about $8,000 more than its 2002 goal Somehow, even with last-

minute cancellations and orga­nizational problems, it all got done

And, typically, Zmudczynski is quick to point out she didn’t do it alone Hundreds of volun­teers helped, for hundreds of reasons, and the campaign couldn’t have been a success without them

Case m point Cheryl and Aldan Yee The Plymouth mom and son spent 31 hours ringing bells at kettle locations all around the area, including two stints at both the Little Book Shoppe on the Park and the post office

The Yee family dedicated their ringing to Cheryl’s hus­band, who died m March 2001 The Yee family had always made chanty work a staple — helping the Capuchins, Gleaner’s Food Bank and the Salvation Army, among others

“It makes us feel closer to my husband,” Cheryl Yee said

“It’s something he would have done”

Then there were volunteers like Kathy Lake, a Plymouth woman who happened into the Army building on Main Street to drop off a check and was sur- pnsed to find Zmudczynski teanng her hair out because she was so busy

Out of the blue, Lake volun­teered to help and wound up being a key cog in the success of the campaign

Then there’s Wes Kappler Here on a winter visit, Kappler volunteered so often he pretty much ended up running things in the Belleville area, where the Salvation Army is trying to establish a foothold

“We absolutely could not have done it without them,” Zmudczynski said of the volun­teers

Zmudczynski so impressed the Salvation Army leadership that Hull decided to push to make the campaign coordinator

a full-time, year-round position Approval for that move came from district headquarters Tuesday

“The way we’re looking at it is, even as successful as it was, we still had some large gaps when we still needed volun­teers, particularly m Belleville,” Steve Hull said

“Being relatively new there, we haven’t developed the volun­teer base we have in this area. We’ll focus on school group®, churches and any other groups we can think of to try and devel

op that ”Zmudczynski agrees it’s a full-

tim e job, year-round And the Hulls definitely feel like they’ve got the right woman for the job

“She did an outstandmgjob, particularly with the challenges she had coming in late m the game, with all of this being new,” Hull said ‘Now that she’s got a season under her belt and a better idea of what’s involved, that can set us up to improve even m ore”

CLUB| F R O M P A G E A1

several communities, the Plymouth, Plymouth A M and Canton Rotary clubs have banded together to sponsor the high school group, encouraging students m the lessons of serv­ice above self

It’s a way of getting the youth started m a leadership role at the high school,” said Howard Oldford, a member of the Plymouth Rotary and one of seven advisers to the Interact Club “We try to show them how important it is to serve the community, and that when you work together it’s a great feel­ing”

The Plymouth Cantoii Interact Club was formed at the end of the 2001-02 school year with a handful of students, but has since grown to about 35 active members The group for­mally received its charter Jan 22 during a celebration at Fox Hills Country Club, with more than 100 Rotanans, club mem­bers and their parents joifnng the festivities

H AR D AT WORK

However, while the Interact Club was formally introduced only last week, its members have already been working hard to make a difference They’ve sponsored several car washes and bake sales while raising $800 for the Sandra Saeger Wall of Courage at Plymouth High School

The club has been involved in Plymouth Rotary’s chicken bar­becue, the A M club’s summer breakfasts and the Canton Rotary’s garage sale, among other activities

The Interact Club is an idea that lhvolves commitment, leadership, responsibility, ambition and hard work,” said

Brandon Bunt, the group’s first president “Interact helps give us social skills, leadership skills and makes us more comfort able speaking with community leaders, working m the commu­nity and learning about the community

“We don t want to lose sight of the community service aspect There are a lot of important experiences we can gain from it,” he added “Communities sometimes have a negative stereotype of youth, and we need to reverse that by promoting the positive ”

Larry Lewis of Plymouth Township, whose daughter Brittany, 15, is a member of the Interact Club, views it as an opportunity for her to learn about the community they call

Nicole DeVnese, 15, of Canton said she joined the Interact Club through a friend

It’s fun, and we get to help other people,” DeVnese said “Its good to help other people It’s not selfish This group can do a lot of good because there are a lot of us willing to help out ”

Bunt said one goal of the Interact Club is to set up a mentonng program in the ele­mentary schools

“We would be there for pri­vate tutoring, or just talk to them,” he said “We want to make it a comfortable environ­ment so they can just talk, if they want ’

Laura Whichello, president of the Canton Rotary Club, said she would have liked to have had an Interact Club m her high school, and looks forward to working with the young peo­ple m the new group

“I can’t think of a better way to learn to serve the community than being an Interact Club member and a future Rotanan ”

Collector has affection for ‘Tried and True’ recipesBY U N A MINISTAFF WRITER

There’s an old saying Behind every person lies a story

Sandy Fercho has three One She helped create a cookbook for her

churchTwo She owns more than 350 histone

Michigan-related cookbooks

Three She’s a recipe whiz

Fercho, a Canton resident, reads cook­books like they’re novels and fell in love with culinary arts as a child.

“I can read a reape and tell if it’s going to work or what’s missing,’Fercho said

She was ju st 10 when she won a blue nbbon for sweet bread entered m a 4- H fair H er affection for farm reapes and cooking grew

Fercho s favorite reapes are from small, old, defunct Michigan farms, developed by wives who ran kitchens while their husbands tended fields H er love of farm reapes, like puffy sugar cookies, prom pted this real estate agent and mother of two sons to work with parishioners at her church, First United Methodist of Plymouth, to develop a cookbook.

Fercho approved and edited every reape submitted by fellow parishioners m T r ie d & T ru e A C o lle c tio n o f R e a p e s b y F ir s t U n ite d M e t h o d i s t C h u rc h

'The recipes have basic ingredients that everyone has m their kitchens today — or ingredients th a t are at least inexpensive,” Fercho said "We d idn t include recipes that called for an expensive spice th a t you’ll only use m one dish and never again ”

T r ie d & T r u e is a collection o f simple, com­forting dishes along with some updated ver­sions o f American classics, Fercho said, such as apple or peach ensp, broccoli salad with cheese and bacon, pretzel Jell-o, molasses cookies, sweet and sour meatballs, cheese-stuffed

Joy Coyle, a parishioner at die church, pitched m to help with the cookbook and is a fan

I use this book a lot and every time I do it bnngs back memories of the women who helped create it, Coyle said ‘This book celebrates our heritage and the wom en and past staff of the church

First United M ethod Church put out a cookbook in the 1940s, Coyle said, and some o f those recipes are included m the new version

neer m growing and prom oting this variety

In the 1990s, the Terlato W me Group o f Illinois becam e the U S marketer o f R utherford Hill wines In 1996, th e partnership th a t owned the w inery decided to sell The Terlato family pu r­chased the winery w ith file goal o f improving th e b rand

As owners of internationally- recognized Patem o Im ports also, th e Terlato family is associated w ith some o f the world’s renowned producers This has given them insight into the best m th e world of wme, which is spelled out as, “quality first” Thus it was that once the Terlatos owned Rutherford Hill, they chose to reduce production by 14,000 cases to elevate quali­ty This sacrifice in th e 1995 vin­tage has been rewarded hand­somely with recognition now as a first-rate Napa Valley winery on th e move

Together with a host o f con­trac ted grape growers,

Rutherford Hill uses grapes from its 60-acre estate-owned vine­yard m the Rutherford appella­tion and another 110 acres under long-term controlling lease In 2000 , the winery upgraded equipm ent and began produc­tion of a reserve tie r o f wines which age, as do all th e red wines, m a milelong cave system containing over 8 ,000, princi­pally French, oak barrels

In 2001, winem aker Dave Dobson came on board Together w ith the well-respected wine­m aker Doug Fletcher, who earned his stnpes a t Chimney Rock winery, and is now director o f winemaking for th e Terlato

Don’t you sometimes think you're the only hum an among monsters at work9

For Melody Johnson, who plays Jenny, the new music teacher m the Vee Corp production of S esam e S tre e t L iv e , that is, quite literally, the case

“I’m the only live character on stage The rest are monsters,” says Johnson, a Washington D C native who will visit Detroit for the first tim e when Sesam e S tre e t L iv e E v e ry o n e M a k e s M u s ic hits the Fox Theatre Feb 5-16

“W hen we had our first full dress rehearsal, I was a little thrown back by the fact that all my friends were now Muppets,” says Johnson, who graduated from Northwestern University and landed right into this role

“All the kids like the monsters, so I have to m ake my gestures very big for children to read from the stage ”

Now 22, Johnson was raised on a steady diet of music and Sesame S tre e t

Her m other was a singer and actress m Washington D C and directed children’s theater

And like most kids her age, Johnson watched the Emmy Award-winning PBS show every morning with her breakfast cereal

“I liked Grover and the Count I thought he was very dram atic file way he counted,” Johnson said

S esam e S tre e t L iv e has become a winter mainstay m Detroit and, for the second year in a row, the first night is a benefit for WTVS, Detroit’s public television station

“We get a lot of new members and last year we came dose to a sellout ” said Michelle Gaisser, special events manager of WTVS (Channel 56)

Last year, the event raised nearly $100,000 for the public television station, and a generous anonymous donor bought up the rest of the opening night tickets to give to children from his favorite chanties For the exclusive premiere night on Feb 5 , every child gets a goodie bag

Tickets for this night can only be pur­chased through Detroit Public TV at (313) 876-8195

At 23 years, S esam e S tre e t L iv e is the longest-running childrens tour in history

Big Bird and a friend sing together in Sesame Street Uve Everybody Makes Music

And just like the television show, the Broadway-style production features tim e­less lessons where children learn about patience, cooperation and teamwork.

In E v e ry b o d y M a k e s M u s ic , Jenny’s musical in s tru m en ts are all lost during her move to Sesame Street

But Elmo, The Count, Cookie Monster, Big Bud,. Bert & Ernie and all their furry friends come to the rescue and discover new ways to make music Rubber duckies, trash can kds and even laps become instru­ments in what could be considered a pee- wee version of S to m p 1

“What’s great about this show is that it uses all styles of music —■ rumba, disco, rap, hif>-hop and country western, too,” Johnson said “It exposes kids to different kinds of music.”

And adults can appreciate the high-tech stagecraft while getting reluctantly nostal­gic over music like T h e H u s tle , Y ou S h o u ld be D a n c in g and R o ckm ’ R o b in

opportunity to hone her skills "Yes, I know the audience is under 5, but

I’m learning so much about being an adaptable, flexible solid performer, and how to keep my voice healthy and gam strength,” she said

This is one of Michigan's many scenic waterfalls Monte Nagler used a % second exposure to put the water m "motion."

T h e s e t i p s w i l l h e l p a d d

m o v e m e n t t o y o u r p h o t o sI ’m a stickler for getting

photographs as sharp as possible But there may be

times you want to break the rules, to deviate from what you re used to doing, and make your pictures appear as if they have motion After all,

using your imagination and experi­menting with a new idea could be just the thing for addmg a new dimen-

Focuson Sion to yourPhAtAfiranhv photographyPhotography There are

several ways Monte toarfdmove-M . i m ent to your

i r IIT f shots First, you can pho­

tograph something m motion and make it look like a blur m the finished shot, Fo? example, try shooting a waterfall at a shutter speed of about1/* to 1 second and see how the water will appear ‘ milky” and will seem to ‘flow Everything else will be sharp and in focus because you’re using a tripod

Try photographing a mov­ing automobile or tram in a similar way at perhaps1/* to1/*

second and you’ll get excitmg “motion” in your shot

Expanding your creativity even further, shoot a sporting event slower than you nor­mally would, say1/*! to1/® sec­ond and you’ll pick up a “ghostmg” of movement m the charging soccer player or the slam-ducking basketball star

Another way to add move­ment to your photographs is to move the camera as you depress the shutter release. Yes, move the whole camera during a1/* or1/* second expo­sure A field of flowers will appear as blurs of color or your friends face may come out looking like a space alien. Experiment and seewhaf fou produce In the photograph shown here taken at one of Michigan’s many spectacular waterfalls, I wanted to sho\y motion by giving die water ja “milky” appearance All it | took was a steady tnpod and a shutter speed of/a second |

Use your imagination an<jl you’ll come up with other ideas that will put motion m your photographs, too t

TRAPPED: THE 1909 CHERRY MINE DISASTER

by Karen Tmtori (Simon & Schuster $2500)

T his harrowing account of one of America’s worst mine disasters will appeal

to all readers with a strong interest in United States histo­ry, and especially to those who want to learn more about the history of labor and industrial

capitalism On Nov 13,

1909, near an air shaft m the second vein of the prosperous Illinois mine that was con­sidered the safest m the country, two men left a mule-driven hay cart near

a kerosene torch Though the mine was usually

lit by electricity, some wiring ordered earlier was late m arriving, forcing the miners to revert to the use of the old- fashioned torches Exactly how the torch ignited the hay is not known W hat is known is that, eventually, around 200 men and boys lost their lives in the worst coal mine fire m U S his­tory More than 150 widows were left behind (most with no means of support), and 470 children

The mind-numbing tragedy motivated the formation m 1910 of the US Bureau of Mines, and the passage of national child labor laws (many of those lost a t Cherry were underage)

In the State of Illinois, stronger regulations were sub­sequently imposed on all mine owners And, m 1911, the State

legislature led the country m establishing what would evolve into today’s worker’s compen­sation laws

The author, a granddaughter of a survivor who left the mmes to eventually become a Michigan autoworker, has gathered together diaries, notes written within the mine as men struggled to live, testi­mony from the coroner’s inquest, photos, maps, work lists, and other mformation to write her story

She has also visited the remains of the now-sealed mine and interviewed people at the site, located about 100 miles southwest of Chicago

Tmtori provides readers with an extensive assemblage of data here, as all historians should, and also does a fine job of plac­ing this story m the context of its time But this book becomes memorable m her gripping, up- close scene-making, her word- pictures of the incredible human suffering and courage that were central to this his­toric event

For instance, in her words, a descnption of the ghastly moment when 13 miners were finally brought to the surface via a hoisting cage “John Bundy, Alex Norberg and the other eleven men were human torches Nine of them were on the floor, heaped together m a macabre mass of smoldering limbs Most stared out from gaping sockets where their eye­balls had been burned away or ruptured blood dripped down their faces, hissing as it hit the red-hot cage ”

Tmtori also takes us below the surface and the frantic (often misguided) rescue attempts, to the mine itself, where a group of 20-plus min­ers hover on the brink of death for days, scribbling notes to

Tintori provides readers with an extensive assemblage of data here, as all historians should, and also does a fine job of placing this story in the context of its time.

their loved ones As we read we can almost feel the dank walk of the sooty mine, hear the lonely cries of the desolate men smell the putrefied carcasses of the mules trapped in the infer­no, taste the grimy drops of water the men are forced to drink in order to stay alive

They have no food They chew on their belts or gnaw at their shoe leather for suste­nance Finally, they are even without light

But, incredibly, they persist m fighting to live, in maintain­ing a kind of civility among themselves (with a single exception)

One of them even holds onto a mischievous sense of humor, playing occasional practical jokes on his comrades to dis­tract them from their suffering

Now and then, it’s a bit ham to keep straight Tmton s large dramatis personae*

And some o f us may wish r that Tmton had chosen to show some of these men and their families in more up-close detail

Ultimately, though, T rap p ed is an eye-opening, highly informative book a gripping human drama that will stay with most of us for a long, long time, maybe forever

The “Enchanting Italy” tour oiler travelers an opportunity to spend 12 days tasting some of Italy’s finest cheese, wine, balsamic vinegar, pasta and olive oil m the facilities where they have been produced for many generations They also enjoy history, art and culture in the cities of Genoa, Parma, Bologna, Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Orvieto and Rome

The highlight of this tnp is a visit to an authentic 15th centu­ry villa located on top of wind­ing Tuscan hills surrounded by olive groves This is a unique chance to descend into the vast cellars beneath the villa to view the equipment, both ancient and modem, for producing and storing olive oil Everyone has the chance for “hands on” expe­rience in preparing a Tuscan dinner, later served with wine m the villa’s charming dining room

Travelers visit a local Parmesan cheese facility in Parma and learn that cheeses are aged for at least 18 months Nothing is wasted, ricotta cheese is a by-product and pigs raised on the farm eat the whey, making the meat ideal for Parma ham, the true proscuit- to

Parma, m the agricultural

region of Emilia-Romagna, is the home of conductor Arturo Toscanini and the National Gallery, containing paintings from the 13th to 16th centuries The ducal gardens contain the Fountain of the Thanon, given to the people of Parma by M aria Luisa, second wife of Napoleon

In Modena, tourists discover the secret of the unusual taste and rich flavor of traditional balsamic vinegar, called the “condiment of kings ” It’s fer­mented m wooden casks under controlled conditions for a min­imum of 12 years The most expensive balsamic vinegar is aged 25 years and sells for more than $70 for 100 ml (3 4

ounce) This is not the type commonly used for cooking or in salads, although it is made fiom the same grapes

UNIVERSITY TOWN

En route to Montecatmi Terme, the tour stops in Bologna, site of one of the old­est universities m the world and known the world over for the gastronomic specialties that originated there, including tortellim, lasagna, fettucini and mortadella. Attractions include the Fountain of Neptune, the Town Hall, clocktower and two tall leaning towers from the Middle Ages

In Montecatmi Terme, pasta- makers at a family-owned shop demonstrate making pasta dough Their specialty is Ravioli Michelangelo which has chopped French ham added to the classic ravioli filling (spinach, ricotta and Parmesan cheese)

Since the Middle Ages, the mineral springs of Montecatmi Terme have made it one of the most frequented and fashion* able thermal spas in Italy From there it’s a short ride to Florence, Siena and San Gimignano, all in the Tuscany region, and Orvieto, which bor­ders the area

Florence is the capital of the arts from Roman and Renaissance times Few people leave here untouched by its beauty Highlights include the

Cheese is saturated m brine for 20-24 days

MEDIEVAL CITY

Siena is Tuscany’s most fasci­nating crty after Florence

because of its medieval atmos­phere It was a major city m Europe m the 12th and 13th Centuries

The city is built on three red clay hills (from which the color “burnt sienna” is named) Its narrow Gothic streets converge on the Piazza del Campo, a shell-shaped square, paved with brick

The focal point is the elegant Gothic Town Hall with ab $ l- tower that offers a superb panorama of Siena’s rooftops and countryside

No visit to Italy is complete without seemg Rome, the “Eternal City* There are rem­nants of die Roman Empire

everywhere Christian Rome features the Basilica of St John Lateran, St Peter’s in Chains, (which houses the famous stat­ue o f Moses by Michelangelo), Vatican City (highlighted by the Sistme Chapel ceiling and the Last Judgment) and St Peter’s Basilica (with the great Pieta sculpture)

The restoration of the ceiling of the Sistme Chapel and Last Judgm ent were completecLm 1994 to reveal their brilliant colors

Quick-striking Rocks pull awayYou just don't want to give a

hockey team like Salem an opening

Any kind of opemng The high-scormg Rocks usual­

ly take full advantage of such opportunities Casein point ^Against Walled Lake Western Friday aft the Plymouth Cultural Center, Salem was mired in a 1-1 deadlock midway through the second penod

Then, m a span of just over three minutes, the game was decided

1 PREP HOCKEYi

The Rocks got three goals in that stretch and, combined with a solid defensive effort by goalie Shane Breest, it was enough to propel them to a 5-2 victory

Salem improves to 15-2-1 overall, 9-2-1 m the Western Lakes Activities Association Western is 1-14-1 overall, 0-8 m the conference

Andy Thackaberry scored two goals for the Rocks, both on the

power play The first came m the opening period, with 7 43 remaining, Mark Nagel and John Schultz, the WLAAs top two point-scorers, assisted

The Warriors knotted it at 9 43 of the second penod on a goal by Ruben Adery, with assists from Steven Snopkowski and Scott Wietechia.

That’s when the Salem flurry started It began with a goal by Bryan Young at 6 45 (assisted by Mike Barr and Aaron Cheesman), Nagel, who collect-

in win over Westerned two goals and an assist in the game, made it 3-1 at 5 19 of the penod (assisted by Adam Gillikm and Schultz), and Thaekaberry’s second power- play score increased that to 4-1 at 3 37 of the second (assisted by Schultz and Young)

Western’s Reid Skory got a goal a few seconds after Salem had lulled a penalty (assisted by Steven Modic), but the Rocks got that one back with 6 09 to play when Nagel scored short- handed (from John Maurer)

Salem, which had some prob­lems with its special teams when it lost twice in eight days, had no such trouble against Western, sconng twice on file power play and once shorthanded, while not surrendenng a power-play goal

“Yeah, it clicked pretty good,” said Salem coach Fred Feiler

On Friday, file Rocks host Stevenson m their final Lakes Division game Both teams are 3-1-1 m the division, Friday’s winner will clinch the title

There’s only so much a basketball coach can do.

He can put his team in a zone defense and dare his opponent to win it from the perimeter Or he can put his team in a tight man-to-man and challenge his opponent to go inside and score

He can even use both, switching bade and forth in an effort to confuse the opposition and force some turnovers.

Yes, a coach can try all df those things And yet, even if his team man­ages to execute his strategy expertly, if may not be good enough

Salem was hardly superb defensive­ly against Wayne Memorial Friday But certainly the Zebras made the

N'ville comeback overtakes CantonB Y C J R IS AKs t a f f Wr i t e r

The game had been over for 15 minutes, and Canton coach Jeremy Rheault was still trying to figure out what had happened

“The first time we played them, we outrebounded them, we shot well and we only had something like 13 turnovers,” he said “That’s good enough to win

“Tbmght we shot well, we hit ll-of-12 free throws, and their leading scorer had what — seven points, and we stilllose”

The final score was 45-42, in Northville’s favor, and there were no answers

Canton trailed 12-9 after one quarter but overcame that to lead 24-22 at the half A nearly offensiveless third quarter resulted in the Chiefs holding a 31-26 advantage entering the final period

If there was a difference, Rheault could only point to the Mustangs’ senior leadership

“There were a couple o f turnovers and they had the bounces go in their favor,” the Canton coach said “Their seniors don’t let them lose They took it from us again — give them credit”

NorthviUe made it a one-pomt game in the first two minutes of the fourth quarter, forcing Rheault to take a timeout The Chiefs, who lost starting point guard Andy Cortellim for the season with a lacerated spleen suffered Jan 7, thought they had found an answer in Dave

lead m the confer-

‘ MEN'S BASKETBALL 1 S S tCounty CC

Schoolcraft first-year guard James Holmes (Belleville) came off the bench to lead Schoolcrat with 22 points

“James came in a gave us a lot of energy, he shot the ball well,” Schoolcraft coach Carlos Bnggs said

Torvoris Baker, a 6-foot-6 center, added 22 points and 12 rebounds Marcus Bennett had 16 points and four steals, while back-up point-guard Aaron Squirewell dished out seven assists

Delta’s Cedric Pnos led all scorers with 27 points Jay Royster added 13

The Ocelots were only 21 of 33 from the foul line (63 6 percent) and only 5-of-19 from three-point range (26 3 percent)

But what really rankled Briggs were the turnovers (Delta had 30)

“We have trouble with teams who are smaller and who press us,’ Bnggs said “We’ve got to get better at attacking pressure ’

Central Wednesday m a lay WLAA match

Canton crushes WesternThere would be no repeat of

Monday’s start Canton, which started

sluggishly m its WLAA match against Northville Monday and ended up losing the first game, did not repeat its mistake Wednesday at W alled Lake W estern The Chiefs made quick work o f the W arriors, winning 15-5,15-1

“We Came out strong,” said Canton coach Steve Anderson “We didn’t le t up the whole way out

“It was a nice change of pace after Monday It was really a dominating thing from us ”

The first game lasted 12 service rotations, the Chiefs were even more economical in the second game, taking just five rotations

Kristen Lake was instru­mental in the quick work of Game Two, serving eight

straight points She finished the match with three aces

Colleen O’Bnen contributed five kills to lead the attack — of which there was little need, since Western self-destructed on several occasions, surren­dering points to Canton Cindy Rotramel added eight digs and defensive specialist Annie Rosales had seven digs

Knsten Lillie finished with nine set assists

The Chiefs play at Westland John Glenn Monday, then host Lavoma Franklin Wednesday

Agape sweeps Franklin RoadCanton Agape Christian col­

lected yet another straight-set victory Thursday, sweeping Novi Franklin Road Christian 15-7,15-3 Thursday at Franklin Road

SALEMF R O M P A G E C1

Rocks look even worse than they were, riddling them from long range m rolling to a 69-63 victory

Wayne improves to 9-4 over­all, 4-1 in the Western Lakes Activities Association’s Lakes Division Salem is 9-5 overall, 2-3 m the Lakes

“They were hitting threes, they were scoring m transition, they were scoring off their defense,” said Salem coach Bob Brodie after the loss, his team’s second to Wayne this season “They played up-tempo and they played slow-down

“We played zone (defense) and man both, but they shot the lights out tonight ”

That die Zebras did, making 28-of-59 shots (47.5 percent), including eight three-pointers In the opening quarter they started slowly, missing six of their first seven shots Then Jonathan Raspberry found his range

The 6-foot-3 senior forward hit four three-pointers — in the first quarter while shooting over Salem’s zone He had 17 points in the period to carry Wayne to a 23-18 lead after one

Raspberry finished with 29 points, connecting on six triples

The Rocks never did catch Wayne, despite a heroic effort by Dave Hoskins, who led all scorers with 34 points

However, while Raspberry was just one of four Zebras to score m double figures, Hoskins was the only Rock to do so Next best for Salem was Dominique Washington with seven

Still, Wayne was not allowed to just walk away with an easy win A Terrance McClain dnve- and-jam — he was fouled on die play and converted the free throw — in the final seconds of the third quarter boosted the Zebra lead to 61-43

They were still up by 18 two minutes into the fourth period,

a defiat which would have demoralized most adversaries

But the Rocks kept battling In a litde over five minutes, they outscored Wayne 18-4 to make it a four-point game — 67-63 — with 43 still remain­ing It was the only time in the game Hoskins wasn’t the entire offensive show for Salem — he had just six points m that span

Two Genois Safford free throws with 39 5 to play sealed Salem’s fate

“I told you they’re not going to quit,” said Wayne coach Wayne Woodard of the Rocks’ rally “They may not come back and win, but they won’t give up

“At times we’ve struggled against a zone (defense) this year But if you shoot the ball good, you probably look better than you are”

Wayne did all of that Safford, a 5-2 junior point guard, con­tributed two triples and 16 points to the Zebra attack, while Derre’ Johnson and McClain added 10 points apiece

“I’m proud of them,” Brodie said of his players “They turned a blowout into a ball game ”

But, asked if there was any­thing he could have done differ­ently to alter the outcome, he replied, “No Player for player, they had more athletes And they played better m all aspects of die game ”

Wayne has three division games remaining, its two biggest against Westland John Glenn and Livonia Stevenson — both at home Wayne and Glenn are tied for first m the Lakes

So does this put them in the driver’s seat’ When asked that question, Woodard was appalled

“Heck no,” he answered vehe­mently “Not even close We’re not in any dnver’s seat yet, not until we go to Walled Lake Central for that last (division) game of the year

“And maybe not even then ” The message is, a lot can still

happen

J ohn and Rose LaLonde of W estland don’t like driving expressways, so getting cancer care

for John at St Mary Mercy Hospital’s Cancer Center in Livonia has been a real convenience

“When our kids had to take us to Henry Ford Hospital that was an incon­venience because they had to get out of work. Now it just takes us 10 minutes to get here,” said Rose

John, 72, who was diagnosed with leukemia last year, also appreciates the short drive back home after treatments, which can take several hours A long drive would simply add to his exhaus­tion

“I think it’s marvelous,” he said about the center “It’s great, and the help should be commended ”

The oncology staff and hospital administrators at St Mary Mercy are bursting with pnde over die fledgling center, which opened late last year Visually defined from the rest of the hos­pital by an entranceway of gleaming two-toned hardwood floors, the 2,700- square-foot center contains three exami­nation rooms, an ujfusion room, and a resource center with Internet access that can double as a family meeting place

And this is just the beginning When medical oncologist Dr Harmesh Naik, one of the center’s visionaries, looks five years into the future, he sees a free-stand­ing building housing a multi-disaplinaxy cancer center. He sees patients meeting with their medical team - surgeons, med­ical oncologists and radiation oncologists - within the same day He also envisions physicians coming to the clinic to see a patient m a series of successive appoint­ments, joint meetings with other doctors, and a concluding informational meeting with family members

“We had everything here, but those services were not integrated, not user friendly,” he said of past practices in cancer care There are approximately 50 specialists in the hospital’s Manon Building, he added

Service and convenience are bonuses, but most important is quality of treat­ment Cancer patients can expect the same high-quality treatment available at larger centers, such as the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center or Karmanos Cancer Institute, said Naik, who was associated with Karmanos until joining St Mary Mercy m 1997

University hospitals have a different mandate to do research and cutting edge therapy, said Naik

“Each type of hospital has a different role to play Yes, we are a small hospital, but we’re using it to our advantage Here I can call the chief of radiology and say my patient can’t wait for a CAT scan Also, change can be implemented quick­er is a smaller organization "You come to St Mary Mercy and the care is second to none,” he said, adding that there is com­petition among hospitals “We are meas­ured by the same yardstick as any other hospital We don’t do the 2 percent care that is applicable to one m a million patients, but for the rest, we will assure them our care is second to none ”

S t Maiy Mercy Hospital is file only com­munity hospital m Wayne County accredit­ed by the Commission on Cancer of file American College of Surgeons, said Naik

S TAN D A R D S

W hen it comes to cancer treatment, it’s all about standards of care, said

PHOTOS BY ST MARY MERCY HOSPITAL

John LaLonde of Westland has chemotherapy administered by Linda MacDonald, a nurse a t St. Mary Mercy's new cancer center John's wife, Rose, sits by his side

Medical oncologist Dr Harmesh Naik has long- range plans for the St Mary Mercy Cancer Center, which opened last December.

Sarah Gilbert, director of Cancer Services at St Mary Mercy Such stan­dards are universal

“In terms of standards of care, treat­ment can be done at a local level,” she said It’s levels of research that differen­tiate a local cancer center from metro­politan centers like University of

Michigan and Karmanos, she addedBut local doesn’t exclude consulting

physicians at the bigger cancer centers, Gilbert stressed “If you’re diagnosed at St Mary Mercy, you can still go for a second opinion at the University of Michigan And the opposite is true We want you to get a second opinion ”

Major cancer centers work hard to define standards of care, said Dr Max Wicha, director of the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center Centers like U-M and Karmanos belong to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, which host panels to define state-of-the-art treatm ents Members of the NCCN meet every two to three months

Major cancer centers benefit commu­nity cancer centers m two ways, said Wicha First, they develop the standards of care based on cutting-edge research and application erf new treatments Research and treatments that look promising m the initial stage are shared with community centers Second, cases that are not standard can be referred to a major cancer center Major centers have specialized experts m breast, colon and prostate cancers, for cample, as opposed to cancer generalists, who usu­ally staff community cancer centers

“Working in partnership with a com­munity cancer center, we can provide an expert m a particular cancer and come up with a recommendation for treat­ment, then send the patient back to the community center,” said Wicha

C O N V E N IE N C E

The convenience of being treated within your own community cannot be discounted, said Wicha.

“Not having to travel away from fami­

ly and community is im portant, especially for the very ill who need frequent therapy And if there are com­plications, it’s very reassuring to know you can meet quickly with your doctors and nurses,” he said

In addition, community cancer cen­ters play a strong role m the fight against cancer by offering early cancer detection programs, W icha added

The first phase of St Mary Mercy’s cancer center, mostly cosmetic remodel­ing changes, cost approximately $200,000 The cost of the second phase - Naik’s vision - has not been estab­lished

“The cancer center will be funded through community donations and internal support of physicians, manage­m ent and other hospital supporters,” said David Spivey, president and CEO “The community is showing consider­able interest and support for a cancer center to be available close to home ”

Meanwhile, file new “phase 1” center is going ahead with plans to make it as comprehensive as possible

“We’re planning to establish specific clime days for lung cancer and prostate cancer patients The implementation phase will start within the next few months,” said Gilbert

LaLonde is pleased th a t others in his community will receive file kind Of care he’s getting a t the St M ary Mercy Cancer Center

T d recommend i t to anyone, highly,” he said

Early-warning procedure can help more melanoma patientsANN ARBOR - Patients who develop

melanoma on their face, head or neck can have the same early-diagnosis surgical pro­cedure to see if their cancer might spread as patients whose cancer is on less delicate areas of file body, a new study finds

The report, from a team at the University o f Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, opens the door for many more melanoma patients to benefit from a potentially life-saving technique called sentinel lymph node mapping The results will be published m the A rch ives o f O to la ryn g o lo g y , a journal of the American Medical Association

Many hospitals already use sentinel lymph node mapping to assess the threat of melanoma in patients with lesions on their arms, trunk or legs The technique shows whether cancer cells have entered

nearby lymph nodes and might spread fur­ther, and helps doctors and patients decide how aggressive treatment should be

But fear of damaging the delicate nerves and blood vessels concentrated m the head and neck has kept many physi­cians from using the technique on patients with cancer on their scalp, face or neck ~i nearly one-fifth of the 87900 melanoma patients diagnosed each year As a result, many maybe receiving inade­quate treatm ent

The new results, from 80 patients treat­ed through the U-M’s noted melanoma program and followed for at least a year after mapping, show that the technique can be performed safety and yield the same information m these patients as in others

More than 96 percent of patients were successfully mapped, and 18 percent

were shown to have melanoma that had spread to a lymph node - giving them a diagnosis much sooner than a standard routine examination would have The false-negative rate was 4 5 percent

“These results clearly show that patients with melanoma of the head and neck can be accurately staged through sentinel lymph node mapping, allowing very early detection of even minimal dis­ease m the lymph nodes,” says author Dr Carol Bradford, who directs the U-M Head and Neck Oncology Program “Although the technique is the m ost chal­lenging in these patients, we now know it can be done, and done safety”

The authors hope the technique will become standard for all appropriate melanoma patients But they caution that to be accurate, the procedure

requires a great deal o f expenence and expertise on the part of the team o f sur­geons, nuclear medicine specialists and pathologists required to carry it out

LYM PH ATIC SYSTEM

The technique focuses o n the lymphat­ic system, an interlaced network of ves­sels, ducts, nodes and glands that carries disease-fightmg immune system compo­nents throughout the body

But th e lymphatic system can also act as a highway for melanoma cells, giving them a direct route from the original skin tum or to the bloodstream, which can carry them to othersites where they can form new tumors The rest stops on this

MELANOMAFROM PAGE C6

highway are tmy bean-shaped structures called lymph nodes, which gather and filter the lymph fluid that carries foreign objects like bacteria, viruses and cancer cells

Studies have shown that patients whose cancer cells have entered their lymph nodes have a much worse potential for sur­vival Melanoma kills 7,400 Americans each year, more than one person each hour The aver­age five-year survival rate for melanoma patients is about 89 percent But once the cancer Spreads to the lymph nodes, die survival rate drops to a range of 13 percent to 70 percent, depending on how many lymph nodes contain melanoma cells

For years, surgeons removed entire sections o f the lymphatic system of many patients with melanoma, just m case the can­cer had spread But only about 10 to 20 percent of these patients actually tum ed out to have cancer cells in their lymph nodes - so many had under­gone the invasive and poten­tially dangerous surgery for no real reason As a result, studies of patients who had a node dis­section, as the operation is called, didn’t have abetter chance of survival

AC C UR ATE M AP P IN G

Sentinel lymph node map­ping can determine exactly which patients need node dis­section and further treatm ent such as interferon and radia­tion It allows doctors to see which lymph nodes dram the cancerous region, and to deter­mine if cancer has entered the lymph system yet

The approach starts with an injection of a radioactive tracer and blue dye near the melanoma site After giving the injection time to collect m the lymph node, a handheld radia­tion sensor leads the team to the region where the radioac­tivity has concentrated The surgeon can then make a tiny incision there, and look for signs of blue dye entering the first lymph node or nodes This helps locate the nodes that should be removed and tested for the presence of cancer Because such nodes are the first stop for traveling cancer cells, they’re called “sentinel” nodes

The lymphatic system m the head and neck is especially complex, with nodes and ducts interlaced with the crucial nerves and blood vessels th a t allow muscles and organs to function Lymph fluidfrom the scalp may dram to hard-to-find nodes a foot below, deep in the neck And one false move with a scalpel could paralyze parts of the face or shoulders

The new results show it can be done safely by an experienced team, and still be effective

The U-M team found that in 80 patients with melanoma on their heads or necks who had the procedure between 1998 and 2000, at least one sentinel lymph node was successfully found m 7 7 (96 3 percent). The average number of nodes iden­tified was 218, and three quar­ters o f them Were m the neck The rest were near die ears, in what’s called the parotid region

In all, 17 5 percent of the patients who underwent map­ping were found by patholo­gists to have cancer cells m their nodes All had node dis­sections, and were followed for at least a year

The remaining patients, whose nodes were cancer-free, were also followed for at least a year twelve percent of them developed recurrent disease, but only three patients had a recurrence in the area that had been mapped, giving a “false

live rates from th e U-M head and nfick study are com parable to those from o th er studies where head and neck m elanom a patients were included along w ith others, says Bradford, who is an associ­ate professor an d division chief of head and neck surgery m th e D epartm ent o f Otolaryngology at file U-M Medical School

“Based o n these results and other studies, w e hope th a t sen­tinel lym ph node m apping becomes p art o f standard prac­tice f$r all patients w ith a., m elanoma m ore than jf dlim e t|r in depth,” she says, no t­ing th a t she and h e r colleagues will continue to follow th e ^studyjparticrpants for several more-years to determ ine th e ir „ long-range experience

flu vaccine protects against many strains of the virus and it is not too late to protect yourself this season,” says Dr Paul LaCasse, Botsford’s chief medical officer “The statistics tell us that nearly a third of older adults don’t get their shots even though they are free under Medicare

Hie Centers for Disease Control and Prevention strongly recommends the shots annually for all people 65

and older, for people m nursmg homes and for those with chronic heart, lung or kidney disease, dia­betes, immunosuppression or severe forms of anemia

“Even someone in excellent health should receive the vaccine,” said LaCasse “Our flu season generally does not peak until January or later, so it is still worthwhile to get your shot”

Annually, about 110,000 Americans are hospitalized and up to 20,000 deaths each year are attrib­uted to file flu or its complications

LaCasse recommends that anyone who has not yet received a flu shot this season contact his or her primary care physician For help in locating a primary care physician, contact the Botsford Physician Referral Service toll-free at (877) 442-7900
