parcels m NorthvilleTo be considered, all bids for

the various parcels m ust be hand-delivered to the office of the development division of the p lann ing and development department by Nov 14

Plymouth Township officials are watching the bidding process with a great deal of interest In the last two decades, the town ship has received a great deal of revenue from building permits That revenue has dried up, how­ever, as alm ost all the town­ship’s open space has been devel­oped

Two weeks ago, the board of trustees approved the 2002 bud­get, which calculated a 28-per­cent drop m building generated

revenue for next year So the developm ent of the D etro it owned property would generate much-needed revenue

“There are literally hundreds of acres there We don’t have that anywhere else m the town­ship Not even close to it, so we could see some significant devel­opment there,’ said Plymouth Township Supervisor Steve Mann said

The property is cu rren tly zoned for industria l use, but Mann said he would prefer to see the property used for other pur­poses

“I would like to see a mixture of residential, recreational and commercial development,” he said

Former state representative Jerry Law of Plymouth Township has established a campaign committee to run for the newly created 7th Senate D istrict in Wayne County

As a result of redistnctmg, the new 7th District will represent constituents m Northville, Northville Township, P ly­mouth, Plymouth Township, Canton and Van Buren, as well as several downriver communities

In a le tte r seeking support from the Michigan Federation of Teachers, Law states “My former House District of 14 years included Plymouth and Northville, the highest Republican voting communi­ties m the new 7th Senate District This

H T m seriously looking at i t ... B am definitely in terested..’

Gerald Law—Potential Senate candidate

affords me a significant advantage m a Republican Primary ”

“I’m seriously looking at it, though I am definitely interested,” said Law “Right now I’m raising funds to collect financial support and commitments ”

Law said he’s interested m the new Sen­ate seat because there is no incumbent He indicated he would not challenge an incumbent m the 2002 s ta te Senate or House races

Meanwhile, 21st District House Repre­sen ta tive Bruce P a tte rso n , R-Canton

Township, said he’s mulling whether to run for a third term in the House, or move to the Senate

“I’m being encouraged to run for the Sen­ate, but I haven’t made up my mmd,” said Patterson “I plan on establishing an exploratory committee by the first of the year ”

Patterson, who is currently the House majority floor leader, will have to decide if he wants to run for a third and final two- year term in the House, or run for the four- year Senate seat

If he decides to stay m the House and wins, after two years Patterson will be term limited and out of state politics for at least two more years before he could chal­lenge the incumbent m the state Senate If he runs for Senate and wins, Patterson will have the potential of serving eight con­secutive years m the upper chamber

Fan favorites: Nearly a dozen varieties o f apples are available m the retail store at Plymouth Orchards.

Crosses from page A 1

started from scratch We ju s t wanted to plant something, so we chose apples As more and more people came out, we began adding different th ings The market drove us As the expecta­tions grew, so did our reputa­tion,” Mary said

One of the things the couple has added in recent years is a program for school children This year between 25,000 and 30,000 children have participated in the program, which includes a lesson about the importance of bees, a haynde through the orchard where each child picks an apple, and a feast of cider and donuts

Monday was a typical day at Plymouth O rchards, as one group of school children filtered in after another Suzanne Fin­ley, a parent who came with a group of k indergartners from Henry Ruff Elementary m Gar­den City, including her son Shawn, sa id the kids really enjoyed themselves

“This place is very nice The kids had a great tim e They learned a lot, but I think their favorite part was the food They were just screaming for the cider and donuts,” said Finley

B ranching out beyond the retail end of the orchard busi­ness w asn’t alw ays so easy, according to Mary Emmett Back in the mid-1980s, the couple decided to add hayride tours as a way to earn a little extra money, but it didn’t start out as antici­pated

“The first tour didn’t start out well at all I took eight kids out on a tractor As we got out in the orchard it started to ram and didn’t let up By the time we got back to the barn, all the kids were just soaked and freezing It was just a disaster,” she said

W ith a little tw eaking and some luck, the tours now provide much of the annual business The retail end has also increased over the years In fact, each fall Plymouth Orchards sells more th an 30,000 gallons of apple cider and thousands of dozens of apples

According to Mary, the biggest reason for the increase in busi­ness over the years is the Ply­mouth area’s booming popula­tion

“We’re just not off the beaten path anymore When we bought th is place, th is w as a p retty

rural area But the population has come to us,” she said

At the end of the week, the cider mill will close until next September, just as it does every year And the Em m etts are ready for a little peace and quiet

"We’ve been so busy around here I’m kind of looking forward

to a break But we’ll be ready again next year,” Mary said

Plymouth Orchards and Cider Mill is located at 10685 Warren Road, ju s t west o f Napier, m Superior Township It closes for the season Nov 11 Hours are 10 a m to 6 p m For more informa tion call (734) 455 2290

Kathryn Pumphrey “I sent them a notice, letting them know they weren’t m compliance and asked them to go through the proper channels next time ”

Violation of the sign ordinance is a misdemeanor, which carries up to a $500 fine or 90 days m jail

Dana Sanudor, who lives m the Rolling Oaks subdivision at North Territorial and Ridge, is one person who called the town­ship about the display, despite being an OLGC member She drives by the church every day, ^nd is amazed her church would, attempt to “polarize” the commu­nity

“I’m not pleased at all I can’t understand in heaven’s name how they could put the crosses out there A lot of people m our neighborhood are having a diffi­cu lt tim e explaining them to their children,” she said “Per­sonally, I’m extremely offended To have those beliefs shoved down my throat and the throats of everyone who drives by is offensive ”

Sanudor adm its part of the reason she disagrees w ith the display is because she is pro- choice However, she said abor­tion is a divisive issue th a t should be discussed at a more appropriate venue, particularly w ith the nation’s thoughts on the Sept 11 te rro rist attacks and the war in Afghanistan

“Being so close to Sept 11, I

ballots were requested by voters as of Tuesday

Voters can request an absen­tee ballot on Monday a t City Hall, but will be required to vote after being issued the ballot

Dooley said absentee ballots can be pu t in the drop boxes inside City Hall and outside the library They must be turned m by 8 p m Tuesday night, when voting for the election ends

think this is m very bad taste It is ex trem ely bad tim ing for something like this,” she said

The display is actually owned by a Livonia-based nonprofit group called Right to Life-Lifes- pan According to spokesperson Diane Trom bley, the display trav e ls a round to various churches and service organiza­tions, w hen requested She called the display “tasteful” and said she doesn’t understand why there is such opposition to OLGG placing it on its own property

“It seem s everyone has the right to free speech, except reli; gious organizations,” she said «

Trombley said it should be no more d ifficu lt for p a re n ts to explain the display to children than “a dead deer strapped to the hood of a car” during hunti ing season

Ortman said the display was only meant to be up for a week and w ill be tak en down th is evening a f te r the afternoon Mass W hile he u n derstands some people have been offended by it, he suggested it isn’t the only public display that is offen­sive

“The hope was not to offend people, b u t we knew people would be offended However, some of these same people have po litical signs m th e ir fron t yards telling us who to vote for, without thinking it might offend us,” he said

There a re nine cand idates vying for the four seats on the city commission On the ballot are Peter Bunting, David Byers, S te lla G reene, Ron Loiselle, Colleen Pobur, Phil Pursell, Den­nis Shrewsbury and Jerry Vorva Tom Prose, who finished last in the August primary, is conduct­ing a write-m campaign

The three candidates with the highest vote counts will serve four-year terms The candidate with the fourth highest vote total will receive a two-year term

G r o u p a d v o c a t e s ‘ c l e a n m o n e y ’ e l e c t i o n s f o r M i c h i g a nBY MIKE MALOXTHOM ETOW N N EW S S E R V IC E nunalott@homecomm.net

Money has always had an influence on elections, but these days it is out of control, accord­ing to a new group, the Michigan .March for Election Reform Coali­tion

And if M ichigan residen ts want to reform the system that is used to fund election cam­paigns, they’ll have to do it by petition

“The people in power are not going to change the way they got there, ’ said Lynn Hartung, coor­dinator for the organization that hopes to get the reforms needed in state law to produce “clean money elections ”

At least two lawmakers, how­ever, are giving the group a sym­pathetic hearing m L ansing Reps Bruce Patterson, R-Can- ton, and Mike Bishop, R- Jtochester, say they are particu­larly concerned about the role ‘soft money” now plays m state elections

H artung raised the point to them during a hearing of the Flections and Redistricting Com­m ittee, th a t corporations are operating “stealth fashion” to

hold forums and meetings “solely * to promote causes and candi - dates while pretending to inform „ the public in an unbiased man l n e r’

State law allows organizations » to advertise for positions on

issues w ithout having to file campaign finance reports They only have to file reports if their ads endorse a candidate or urge a “yes” or “no” vote on a ballot issue

Some groups, however, are running ads during election time that clearly support one candi-

. date or attack another, but don’t report the expenditure because the ads don’t actually advise vot­ers how to cast their ballots

‘Artful dodgers’“Obviously, th is draws into

question the possibility that elec­tions are actually being manipu­lated by ‘artfu l dodgers’ who choose not to fully adhere with the spirit and intent of Michi gan s campaign finance laws,” Patterson said

‘There appears to be a glaring loophole in Michigan’s campaign finance laws that is being used by certain groups to secretly underm ine our electoral pro­

cess,” Bishop said“Soft money” has been recog­

nized as a problem at the federal level, bu t the Michigan Cam­paign Finance Network issued a report over the past summer stating th a t sim ilar problems exist in Michigan

The Supreme Court election last year was a prime example All candidates together raised about $6 8 million for their cam­paigns That alone was an 83 percent increase from the 1998 election, “but that still seems to be the smaller part of the overall effort ”

The Campaign Finance Net­work estimated that $10 million m ads had been run on behalf of various candidates m that race,

bu t it could not say for sure because spending on such ads doesn’t have to be reported

Changes suggestedThe coalition advocates several

changes m state law to address the concerns, some of which are likely to get a warmer reception from lawmakers than others

■ Enact legislation resulting m “foil public funding” for cam­paigns to the Supreme Court H artung explained candidates would have to collect a small amount of cash from individual donors to qualify, but once they had raised the amount, further funding would come from the state All candidates would have the same amount to campaign with

■ R evising th e cam paign finance reporting system to

require electronic filing and “real time reporting The goal, Har­tung explained, would be to allow state residents to log on to the Secretary of State’s Web site and get up to-minute reports on cam paign fund ra is in g and spending

■ Take action to “ensure every vote is accurately counted” and that every citizen has the oppor­tu n ity to vote P roposals for revising the ballot system have already been unveiled by the Secretary of S tate and several lawmakers

red brick masonry, with lime­stone accent and oval-top win~ dows A red brick wall along Ann Arbor Road and M am Street was also part of the plan

Cops spread safety, helmets at AllenBY KURT KUBANSTAFF WRITERkkuban@oe homecomm.uet

The Plymouth Township Police Department con­tinued its crusade to make sure children m the community practice safety when skateboarding and biking by selling safety helmets for just $4 at an Oct 25 scholastic book fair at Allen Elemen tary

The department was able to sell the helmets at a fraction of their retail cost after receiving a $1,000 grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, which distributed $25,000 to local communities to promote helmet safety The department used the money to buy more than 300 helmets Last month the department sold the helmets at a similar event at Fiegel Elementary

“Rather than just give the helmets away, we

decided to charge residents a minimal cost, so we could purchase more helmets and therefore get them to more kids,” said Officer Jamie Senkbeil

According to Senkbeil the department sold 180 helmets at the Allen book fair Sue Smith from Children’s Hospital trauma center also attended the event to make sure all helmets fit properly Parents who didn’t want to purchase a helmet were encouraged to bring in their current helmets so adjustments could be made for proper fitting

Sinkbeil said they will continue to look for school and community events to sell the remainder of the helmets

Once the supply is gone we will apply for a 2002 grant,” she said

U M -D e a r b o m o p e n s b r ig h t n e w fa c ilityBy Tim Smith Staff Whiter t8mith@oe.homeco0un.net

Last year, University of Michi- gan-D earborn s tu d en t Zeina Hamie worked on her psychology projects in a dimly lit laboratory, located in the science depart­ment based out of U niversity Mall When time came to move from classroom to classroom, it Often meant squeezing past oth­ers along packed, tired-lookmg hallways

Fast forward to October 2001 Hamie - a Livonia resident and 1,998 g rad u a te of Stevenson High School - comfortably sits at a laptop computer, inside a spa­cious psychology lab located on the fourth and top floor of what now is the biggest and best class­room facility on campus

Recalling windowless class­rooms a t U niversity Mall, the View certain ly is an improve­ment Unfolding before her on the other side of plate glass win­dows is a panoramic view of sur­rounding Dearborn and even a glimpse of Detroit’s skyline

Hamie works on an Honors Program project about the rela­tionship between how stress can be reduced by humor Taking a break from her report, she can’t help b u t sm ile w hen ta lk in g about her new learning environ­ment, inside the 167,400-square- foot College of Arts, Sciences, and Letters building

Known as the CASL building, it opened for classes at the start of the current term and will have a formal dedication ceremony 3 p m Thursday, Dec 6 Class­rooms and research laboratories abound m three departments - behavioral sciences, humanities and mathematics and statistics - and those are augm ented by administrative offices and facul­ty “rooms with a view ”

Destination points“I like the set-up,” Hamie said

“Environment plays a big role m learning I know I can concen­trate better when it’s not closed m And here, the re’s so many resources ”

To undersco re h e r point, Chancellor D aniel L ittle and media relations Director Terry Gallagher pointed out several other destination points on the

fourth floor alone during a recent walk-through of the $32 m illion facility - 75 percent funded by state appropriations

■ Anthropology students have a lab where human skulls and other artifacts are available for “hands-on” learning as well as student-faculty interaction, said Nancy Lemkie, director of devel­opment in the CASL building

“We’ve never had room like th is before,” Lemkie said “At University Mall, they were car­ry ing skeletons around on a dolly”

■ Psychology professor Dan Swift wore 3-D goggles as he worked on a s tru c tu re form motion computer program in the psychology faculty research lab located next to his office At Uni­versity Mall, he had to make a 10-minute walk to work with students after class

Such seamless logistics enable easier and more-efficient learn­ing in teraction, a major plus according to Little

■ Northern light basks the art lab, where students paint, work on sculptures or make ceramics Across the hall is a music class­room, stocked with several elec­tric pianos

■ Also on the fourth floor is a research lab for sports psycholo­gy, led by Ines Varela Silva, a visiting researcher from Portu­gal In the lab, experim ents unfold as data is gathered and papers written about topics such as motivation for physical activi­ty

Such varie ty of tools and resources carries over to other floors of the CASL For example, one highlight of the third floor is a m ulti-m edia language lab, where Redford Township’s Kelli Bracken used a Power Mac com­puter to do an interactive Span­ish lesson

With the Power Macs, videos or audio tapes inserted into a nearby electronics system show up on the computer screen to augment lesson materials

The third floor also features a w riting lab, where studen ts working on formulating class­room papers can do so, and even receive some tu toring help if needed

Wide open and basking m nat­ural light and high ceilings, the

Smith Group-designed building is functional and atmospheric S taircases funnel students to each of the four floors from a stunning , cen tra lly located rotunda atrium

“It’s very dramatic,” said Little with pride “We think it will be a great place for receptions and small concerts ”

L ittle also lauded how the CASL facility blends the best m aesthetics, comfort and design, so th a t s tu d en ts and faculty members can’t help but mingle and communicate

OffshootMeanwhile, an 18-month, $11

million recasting of University Mall - which now sports unused classroom facilities a fte r the move to the CASL - is set to begin in Ja n u a ry 2002, G al­lagher said

D uring th a t time, the UM- Dearbom bookstore and food ser­vices fac ilities likely will be housed m trailers When it re­opens, University Mall will boast a one-stop destination for regis­tration, admissions, career ser­vices and include a food court

“You have to break some eggs to have an omelet,” said Gal­lagher, sticking with the food theme “But we’ll have an omelet when we’re done ”

At th a t time, many students will have yet another compelling reason to consider enrolling at UM-Dearborn, which Gallagher said has triple the enrollment of Wayne County residents that the high-profile Ann Arbor campus draws - 6,000 to 2,000, respec­tively Many of those students live m communities served by the Observer Newspapers

County OKs new contract for airport noise abatement;PRN ewsw ire - The Wayne

County Commission, based on a recommendation from its Special Task Force on Noise Mitigation, approved a $9 5 million contract a t its Nov 1 meeting to C & S Engineering of Syracuse, New York, for noise abatement ser­vices to residents in communities adjacent to Metropolitan Airport

The contract begins Nov 1 and continues through Oct 31, 2004,

o with a one-year renewal option It includes community outreach

r services In addition, the Com­

mission approved two one-year $250,000 contracts to Michigan companies Cadieux Construction of Waterford, and Fred Lax Con­struction Co of Femdale, to pro­vide residential construction ser­vices for the residential sound insulation program

The Task Force referred to C & S Engineering as an “experi­enced, national company” quali­fied to revamp the problem-rid­den noise abatement program The program is sponsored by the FAA a n d approximately 80 per­

cent of its funding comes from the federal government

The purpose of the program is to assist homeowners th a t live near the airport by either pur­chasing their property, assisting their move to a location further from the airport, or by perform­ing work on the homes to sound­proof them During phase one of the program, several hundred homes closest to the airport were purchased Then, several years ago, phase two began, w ith sound insulation work beginning

on homes of res id en ts based upon their location and proximi­ty

The sound insulation program generally consists of equipping homes with new, highly rated sound-insulated windows, new doors that block sound, and insu­lation placed m exterior walls Many homes also receive central a ir conditioning units so resi dents need not open windows during sum m er m onths, and some homes have received alu­minum siding over insulation

tha t was installed on the outer wall*

Problems surfaced when resi­dents involved m the program began voicing displeasure with homes not being completed m a satisfactory manner These con­cerns led to the formation of the Commission’s Special Task Force on Noise Mitigation which has been meeting since the begin­ning of the year

The Task Force is made up of Comm issioners Edw ard A Boike, J r , D-Taylor, Chair, John

J Sullivan, D-Wayne, Vieb- Chair, and Commissioner Philip M C avanagh, D-Deafborn Heights

Task Force Vice-Chair John J Sullivan said th a t he has been questioning the program from the tim e he took office as a Wayne County Commissioner nearly th ree y ears ago H e received numerous complaints from residen ts m the C ity of Romulus and m Huron Towm- ship where the program is cur­rently operating

Out of touch: Canton's Chris Smilo (right) and Western's Mike Pisha duel for a pass during Friday's playoff game This one fell incomplete, but Western caught Canton and won this rematch

By Ed Wright staff Writer

Like a pass that barely eludes a div­ing receiver’s outstretched hands, Ply­mouth Canton’s once-soaring football season h it the ground h a rd Friday night m a Division I district final play­off game against Walled Lake Western

Just three weeks after thoroughly stuffing the W arriors’ high-octane offense, Canton saw its dream season come to a nightmarish end, 16-14, in a game played before a large and vocal crowd at the PCEP field

Western (9-2) advanced to Saturday’s quarterfinal game against the winner of yesterday’s Detroit Denby-Detroit Pershing game Canton finished 9-2

“We all feel miserable righ t now,” Canton coach Tim B aechler said, moments after a post-game talk with his team “The mne wins we had this season don’t feel good at all right now Our defense played good enough to wm the game tonight, but our offense and special teams didn’t get the job done I'll take a lot of the blame, too My play-calling wasn’t effective ”

Western coach Mike Zdebski said his team was able to turn the tables on Canton by adjusting its offense at half­time

“We won because we were able to run the ball on C anton,” Zdebski said “Early in the game, we were running our flight offense, trying to run outside and get around the comer At halftime, we decided to try to pound it up the middle, and it worked m the second half”

Canton displayed the heart it relied on all season m the game’s closing min­utes when it put together a potential game-winning drive by marching from its own 33 to the Western 38 However, the drive stalled when a fourth-and- eight pass play from quarterback Bren­dan Murphy to split end Kyle Lasko came up less than one yard short

After failing to score for four quar­ters the last time it visited Canton Oct 5, it took W estern only six plays to

score Friday Three plays into the game, halfback Steve Bell sliced through the Canton front seven before sprinting 76 yards to the Canton 5 Three plays later, Wamor quarterback

Jon Michaud lofted a 5-yard scoring pass to Bryan Kowaleski to give West­ern a 7-0 advantage

The ensuing kickoff was fumbled by Lasko and recovered by Kowaleski at

the Canton 30 The Chiefs’ defense stiffened, forcing a 41-yard field goal by E nk Dean which put the visitors up10-0 less than five m inutes into the game

Canton cut its deficit to 10-7 on the first play of the second quarter when Murphy kept the ball on a fourth-and- goal option play and scored from 4 yards out Dutch Morrell added the extra point

The Chiefs grabbed the lead — and the momentum — for the firs t time with 3 11 left m the first h a lf when Reggie Joyner followed a devastating block by Dane Kobus and high stepped into the end zone from 11 yards out to make it 14-10 Joyner’s TD was set up by a Murphy-to-Bill Gazsi 34-yard pass on the previous play

Canton’s defense was dominating m the first half, limiting the Warriors to just one first down

Western’s game-winning touchdown drive s tarted a t the Canton 47, one play after defensive back Mike Pisha stepped in front of a Murphy pass and returned it 18 yards

On the first play following P isha’s pick, Western running back John Sow- ders rumbled 39 yards to the Canton 8

Two plays la te r , M ichaud rolled around left end and dove mto the end zone to put the Wamors up, 16-14 The extra point was wide right

Canton took over at its own 25 with 5 19 to go, but couldn’t pull off any last- minute heroics like it did the previous week against Novi

The Chiefs outgamed Western, 264- 190, m total yards The Chiefs also had 14 first downs to the Warriors’ six

Kobus was the Chiefs’ top rusher, gaining 113 yards on 17 carries Gazsi finished with 53 yards on 11 carries, and Murphy completed two-of-13 pass­es for 41 yards

Bell’s 82 rushing yards paced the Warriors However, he gained just six yards on 11 carries following his 76- yard b u rs t m the f irs t q u a rte r Michaud was solid, completing five-of- 11 aerials for 57 yards

Chiefs can ’t quite catch H a rr iso nBy Dan O’MearaSTAFF WRITERdomeara@oe homecoram.net

Nobody would have expected Farmington Ham- son to beat Plymouth Canton m girls basketball with only two points coming from senior Ayana Richmond

But th a t’s what happened Thursday as other players stepped forward and picked up the scoring slack m a Western Lakes Activities Association tournament semifinal game

As a lesu lt of its 41-37 victory, H arrison will meet defending champion Plymouth Salem m the final game for the second straigh t year 7 p m Wednesday at Farmington High School

The Rocks defeated the Hawks m last year’s championship game, 47-33

Richmond is Harrison’s leading scorer, averaging 19 points per game, but she was 0-for-9 from the floor and 2-for-4 shooting free throws Thursday

Here’s a stat that reveals just how much Rich-

■ W L A A S E M IF IN A L

mond means to the Hawks They were 0-6 without her, but they’ve won 12 of their last 13 games since she returned from a preseason injury

Harrison needed help from other players Tues­day, however Maggie Condem and Stephanie Zak scored 11 pom ts apiece, and B ryanna P orter knocked down 10 off the bench

“That shows how far we’ve come as a team,” Har­rison coach Pete Mantyla said “People are trying to take Ayana out of the game, but she delivered the ball to Bryanna really well m the first half

“Our team is built around Maggie and Ayana, but we’re getting such good contributions from other people It’s impossible to beat good teams like Can­ton without that ”

Jessica Condem (four pomts) scored the first two baskets of the game, and Hamson raced to a 9-0 lead, which Canton trimmed to 12-6 by the end of

the quarterBut the Hawks continued to be effective around

the basket with Maggie Condem, who scored eight points in the second quarter, and Porter, who had six points m the first half

Richmond still played a key role, handling the ball against pressure and distributing it to her teammates Harrison doubled Canton by halftime, 28-14

“Ayana is an all-conference player, because she does what she needs to do for her team to win the game,” Canton coach Bob Blohm said

“(The Chiefs) were extended out on Ayana and Maggie, and the key was to put somebody (in the low post) who can score,” Mantyla said “That was a huge step for Bryanna to score against a team like that

“To beat (Canton) you need everybody playing hard and a couple people other than Maggie and Ayana to come through for us - and they did ”

Maybe, ju s t maybe, Northville dis­covered a smidgen of hope m the last 12 minutes of its game Thursday at Plymouth Salem Maybe the Mustangs found their offense

After all, they did outscore Salem 19- 16 m those final 12 m inutes Don’t underestimate that — in their first two meetings (both losses) with the Rocks, they never reached 20

Of course, it should be mentioned this game was over by the end of the first quarter Salem, thanks to nine first-quarter points by Kelly Jaskot, had a 15-4 lead by th a t tim e Northville never narrowed the gap to single digits after that, losing 44-29 in a Western Lakes Activities Association Tournament semifinal

The Rocks rem ain the best team record-wise, at least at this stage of the season, m school history w ith a 19-0 mark They will play for their third- straight WLAA Tournament title a t 7 p m Wednesday at Farmington HS. this time against Farmington H arri­son, which defeated Plymouth Canton 41-37 Thursday Hamson is 12-7

“Just like I told you before, they play great defense,” said Northville coach

Pete Wright “They make you s ta r t your offense out farther than you want, and they play g rea t on-the-ball defense They help each other real well

“When you get an opportunity , whether it’s a free throw or whatever, you’ve got to cash in on it We didn’t do that in the first half”

Offensively, the Mustangs didn’t do anything until it was too late They shot a combined 1 for-14 from the field m the opening two quarters, but they got plenty of chances to offset that at the free-throw lme Northville took 14 shots from the line m the first half to Salem’s three, but the Mustangs con­

verted just six of them By the break, the Rocks’ lead was 21-

8 By the midpoint of the third quarter, that advantage had grown to 28-10

“I thought our defense was outstand­ing ,” agreed Salem coach Fred Thom ann “They’re h a rd to play against They’ve got good skill on the perimeter and they go to the basket well”

They may be hard to play against, but the Rocks haven’t had much diffi­culty “Our perimeter skills are very good also,” explained Thomann “And we knocked down a couple of shots early ”

Which brings us back full-circle to Jaskot Any real hope Salem had for an upset was deflated by the senior guard Northville led just once m the game 1- 0 after an Emily Ott free throw with 5 49 left in the opening quarter In the next two minutes Salem outscored the M ustangs 9-1, w ith Jask o t scoring seven of them — including a three- pointer from dead in the comer ■t*

Perhaps Northville’s best shot at a comeback was in the second quarter Salem scored ju s t six points, four of those coming m the final 2 17 But erran t shooting by the Mustangs

In my family, learning is everything.

Books don’t ju st enlighten TJiey empower Our children are growing up knowing this A good education is one of the most important things we can give them And we wifi, with the help of US Savings Bonds

Through the Payroll Savings Plan, we put aside something with every payday And little by little, it will add up to college for our children

U S Savings Bonds helped my parents put me through college And next year, i t’s Michelle’s turn Sure, Savings Bonds have important to our past, but they’ll be even more important to our future That’s what makes our investment so valuable

Ask your employer or banker about saving with U S Savings Bonds- For all the right reasons.

they were 0-for-8 from the field and ju s t 4-of-7 a t the line — made their deficit even larger

Shutting them down required some a tten tiv e defense from Salem No one p layer leads Northville, Kelly Anderson aver­ages about a dozen points, then Ott, Nicole Cauzillo and Maggie Ossola score about eight apiece

“Any of them can put up big numbers,” said Thomann “You have to get players in front of those guys ”

The Rocks did that throughout the game Anderson, hounded by

Amy Szawara most of the game, was lim ited to ju s t two free throws, Cauzzilo scored seven (all in the second half) and Osso­la netted ju st two Ott did the rest of the damage for Northville, scoring 18

Jaskot matched Ott, scoring 18 points as well She had more support, however, with MaryLou Liebau netting 12 and Szawara six

Now comes Harrison, a team Salem beat 47-38 Oct 23 at Har nson That’s the only loss the Hawks have suffered since Ayana Richmond returned to the

C a n t o n h o o p f r o m p a g e B 1

C anton threw a full-court press a t Harrison m the second half, but the Hawks managed to deal with it for the most part H arrison still led by 11 after three quarters, 33-22, and was ahead by 13 with 3 16 left in the game, 37-24

The Chiefs went on an 11-1 run that narrowed the deficit to three, 38-35, when Kristen Lake scored on a putback with 30 sec­onds remaining

“They’re too well coached and they play too hard to ju st roll over,” M antyla said of the Chiefs “We knew it would come down to the last couple minutes of the fourth quarter

“They had a lot of momentum on their side, but we hung on and didn’t let them break us ”

Zak sank th ree of four free

throws to clinch the win with 12 seconds on the clock before Can­ton’s Courtney Jarm an made a basket at the buzzer

Jarman led her team with 10 points, Katie Cezat scored nine and Lake eight for the Chiefs, who also are 12-7 overall

“I like what we did in the sec­ond half,” Blohm said “We came back and challenged them bet­te r Our pressure was pretty good in the second half, but we’re having such a hard time scoring against zones

“Rebounding was a big issue, and we were soft defensively early They defended and rebounded a lot better than we did But we can build off what we did m the second half”

Free throws were the differ-

lineup after her team lost its first six games, all non-league

Thomann described Harrison as a zone-pressing, trapp ing style of team tha t relies on its quickness The Hawks have size, bu t they can’t rebound like Salem does, nor can they match the Rocks’ experience Salem, on the other hand, can match Har­rison’s quickness

The match-up favors the Rocks m their quest for the first perfect regular season in school history Hamson, of course, could have a dissenting opinion

ence Harrison was 13-of-27 at the line and C anton 9-of-20 Each team made 14 field goals (no th rees) w ith the H awks a ttem p ting 44 shots and the Chiefs 43 H arrison m ade 20 turnovers, Canton 16

“We felt the whole key was rebounding, not giving them put- backs and handling pressure, so they couldnt score off th e ir defense,” Mantyla said “We saw they scored 61 against Walled Lake Central on Tuesday To do that, you have to score off your defense and putbacks Those are two th ings they’re capable of doing, because they’re so relent­less on defense

“We did a decent job of only giving up guarded perim eter shots and limiting them to one shot ”

McGraw Hill analyzed the performance of 600 companies from 1980-85,

including the 1980-81 recession. By 1985 those companies that had advertised

aggressively during the recession were, on average, racking up sales increases

256% higher than their conservative competitors In other words, thanks to

advertising, their sales increases were 2Vz times those of their competitors.

The current situation is probably most comparable to 1973-74, when the

country went through a recession, the Arab oil embargo, Watergate, and the

Nixon resignation

The stock market lost 27% of its value before turning around; all of the loss

was gained back within a year

^ I N C R E A S E M A R K E T S H A R E

As far back as the 1930's, advertising during a recession increased market

share. During the Great Depression, Kellogg maintained its advertising while

Post did not Kellogg gained domination of the dry cereal market that has lasted

half a century

Wall Street analysts credited heavier advertising was credited with the

improved performance of Revlon and Phillip Morris during the recession of 1974-

75; while Avon Products and Hershey Foods were set back by advertising cuts

One study after another, over 80 years, proves that reducing advertising

expenditures during a recession decreases market share that takes years to

recover

There are about 60 reasons right here, if you combine the

awards with the people who made them possible. But, read on,

we have more.

Let's talk about the “R” word. They're saying it out loud now,

recession.

..A D V E R T I S I N G D U R I N G A R E C E S S I O N

The Harvard Business Review studied seven recessions that

occurred during the last half of the twentieth century and

regarding advertising, the study concluded1

• Companies that advertised during a recession outsold those

who did not

• Companies that advertised during a recession continued to

outperform their more cautious competitors for years after the

recession ended

This is true on a local level as well Now, more than ever, you have to be out

there offering your best values to our thousands of readers

As the holidays approach, our sales and creative staffs are at your disposal,

ready to help you plan a sound advertising strategy to maximize the effect of

every advertising dollar you spend wittous

Of course, what you do in the coming months must be your decision—after

all, this is a free country.

If it ever does go up for sale, hopefully it’s zoned for recreational and educational use There’s so much more that facility can offer that probably far exceeds the building of another school somewhere else

Would like to see Old Village have a bigger voice in what goes on in Plymouth "Look at what people are doing in Old Village There's a lot of renovation, people are fixing up their homes There are som e good buys in Old Village ”

Bring Old Village into the Downtown Development Authority, charter revision changing the method in which the mayor is elected

Believes the administration has done enough downtown, now it’s time to ‘spread the walth ’ "There’s a common business corridor that links downtown to Old Village There’s nothing that says it can’t be part of the DDA The city can only gam by having more input ’

Yes / think he ’s done a great job I support him 100 percent

Recreation is always an issue I ’d love to see more programs Between the township and the city we could probably have a nice baseball league around here Now, we have to go to Canton, and they have control over it

Dave Byers

Favors retaining Central Middle School a s an educational/recreational facility, and thinks the city should put a moratorium on rezoning the property Thinks the city should work closely with the Plymouth-Canton School District on this issue

It’s public service, that’s what the job is all about I wouuld like to finish the initiatives I started, which Include open government, administrative oversight, recreation and Central Middle School

Bread and butter issues are the capital improvement program, the Sheldon Road underpass project and the transition to our new waste hauler

Believes the city needs a complete review of its zoning ordinances Not pleased with the height of the Wilcox property Looking back, (the Mayflower) is too close to the road, the south side is overpowering and it towers over its neighbors

Paul understands the Individuals that work for the city, he understands the flow of information, how decisions are made, and how to promote the city. He’s a good asset to the city

The greatest variety of recreation services can be offered if they are part of a joint effort There ate inherent cost savings to both the city and township when we work hand-in hand I think we're on the right track

Favors keeping Central Middle School aseducational/recreationalfacility

Stella Greene

At the time I left, there were som e dynamics that stopped some real good progress in mid stream, which left me unfulfilled There are still Issues that need to be addressed Plus,I think there's a lack of historical perspective on the commission

Infrastructure On the surface, things look good But if you don’t have a good infrastructure, the other things aren’t worth much You’ve got to take care of the basics, like water and sewer ”

Construction like the Wilcox and Mayflower will be good for Plymouth in the long run "You can ’t bring the city to a standstill, it’s got to go forward Did we make som e mistakes with the Mayflower? Probably Hopefully we won’t make the same mistakes "

Paul Sm cock “is the best man we could have The city was badly tarnished by the city manager (search) process But the confidence everyone has in Paul, and the comfort level they have with him, m akes all the city functions work better"

H asn ’t seen a lot of progress “M any of the recommendations we made are som e of the sam e things they're moving ahead with today We should be responding to what the needs of the community are, not creating a need ”

Favors maintaining it a s aneducational/recreationalfacility

Ron Loiseile

There’s a point where new blood is good, but there’s room for history on the commission It 's been discouraging to see what’s happened recently We need a positive commission that works together and has the sam e cause

Infrastructure is a main concern ' We dont’ have an action plan for replacing or upgrading the sewer and water system Parking downtown is already starting to be a problem ” Would like cooperation between the city and township

Believes downtown area is progressing well (except for parking) with the help of the Downtown Development Authority We need a new parking deck the city needs to get an overall parking plan and get control of parking spots

Paul has been a loyal, dedicated employee of the city H e ’s a great communicator H e ’ll do a great job

Sixty percent of people who participate in our recreation programs come from the township The city runs a good recreation program, and if the township contributes to som e of the costs, their dollar input would allow an expansion of the program

Colleen Pobur

Doesn t believe it s the Number One issue, since the school district hasn’t decided what to do with it “I'm not in favor of putting a bunch of stores on the property The commission has directed the planning commission to look at zoning so we don t get into trouble in the future

Things are great in the City of Plymouth and I would like to continue the advances the commission has put in place

It’s important to understand we have an aging infrastructure, and we need to work with our engineering firm to build a realistic plan for street repaving and rehabilitation of the sewer system

Doesn t think the Mayflower gr Wilcox developments are “monstrosities " Thinks the city commission should continue working with the planning commission to “create a plan for the future development of Plymouth We want to maintain the small town charm of Plymouth and the only way to do that is to have planning that supports our goals "

We got someone with a proven record The hiring of Paul Smcock has led to a successful budget process, creating an environment where city employees are empowered and a program where our engineering firm is encouraged to build a coordinated street sewer program

The recreation program is “a wonderful gift to residents Our recreation department has done a wonderful job of getting $1 5 million in grants and using it to enhance the programs Communities would die to have the expertise we have in our recreation department ”

Phil Purseil

If the school district is going to sell the property, maybe we coul dkeep part of it for a community pool

The city commission needs to stop the acrimony and move forward with positive decision making “I can bring a strong common sense approach to problem solving, and facilitate bringing people together to solve common problems ’

I'd like to see more work done on the infrastructure, Ann Arbor Road corridor, recreation

A member of the planning commission, he 's “pleased with the work that was accomplished to develop the Wilcox property downtown I m glad they're working on the Mayflower project again We need to have an economically strong downtown "

Paul Sincock was an excellent choice for city manager H e ’ll work to facilitate what the commission wants, with his own input He has an histoncal sense of the community His heart is in the city of Plymouth

The city com mission is doing a better job with recreation, but feels more can be done for the city’s youth I ’d like to see double the efforts It ’s really important what our youth does today ”

.....• > «.......DennisShrewsbury

Not pleased with the way the current commission is handling the issue “I think the master plan should be changed to make it recreational use only, and then if the district decides to sell, it won't affect them at all

I don 't think things have been going well the past couple of years There’s been a lot of acrimony on the commission I see things going on I don’t like

Cutting the city’s expenses “We ve got water problems, street problems and other things that cost money If there are any cuts in the budget to be made, they should start at the top and work their way down ”

Would like the Wilcox property to be an extension of Kellogg Park “I ’m not In favor of rushing into developing the property It would be nice if they'd finish the Mayflower I regret we didn’t make (the developer) post some kind of performance bond ”

Paul has been around for a long time and he ’s well liked, very competent and capable and did a good job with municipal services H e’s the city manager, and l”m not going to say whether he should stay or go

I ’m glad to se e the commission is doing things on recreation They reluctantly p a ssed the youth commission It’s been on the table for two years

nJerry Vorva

Should be kept a s educational or recreational facility

The city needs a watchdog “If people are at least half as concerned as I am about the direction of the city and what's been going on, they should elect me I have an understanding of how government works, and how it should function "

A charter review “The charter is over 50 years old. There needs to be a complete review of practices and policies that go into the day-to-day operations and the accounting practices, to see if the money is being spent properly '

We had a boom that lasted seven or eight years, but it wasn't taken advantage of by downtown We didn’t have the foresight to have good downtown development and redevelopment plans

1 would not have voted for Paul Sincock a s city manager Paul is a nice guy, but I don't think he has the ability to pull it off Call him temporary

4 h o p e f u l s w o u l d g i v e c o m m i s s i o n b l e n d o f e x p e r i e n c e , f r e s h i d e a sAny election is an important one in

the history of a city, and the 2001 race for Plymouth City Commission is no dif­ferent

There are important issues facing the city finding a permanent police chief who will stay on the job longer than six months, an aging infrastructure, contin­ued fiscal success in the face of reces­sionary times, development, recreation, and a review of the charter

There are definitely going to be at least two new faces on the city commis­sion, since Mayor Dave McDonald and Commissioner Sean FitzGerald decided not to seek re-election Since the remaining members — Michele Potter, Dan Dwyer and Bill Graham — were just elected in 1999, it’s possible the commission could have as many as five

people with two or fewer years experi­ence after voters cast their ballots Tues­day

A balance of experience and fresh ideas is necessary, and we think the fol­lowing four candidates would provide that balance <

S tella G reene brings integrity and class to the table, and should be a no- brainer choice for voters She’s a main­stay at the Plymouth Community Arts Council and one of the biggest boosters of the arts in the city

Some of her ideas are, well, idealistic, for instance, the suggestion candidates not use campaign signs But she’s also been one of the strongest voices for not getting bogged down in such minutiae She wants to keep her eye on the ball of fiscal responsibility, in frastruc ture

improvement and management of the city She’s also a team player, and bent on focusing on issues rather than per­sonalities

C olleen P o b u r has served on the commission for four years, including the last two as mayor pro-tem She’s chair of the Plymouth Economic Development Corp , a member of the city-township joint services committee and a graduate of Leadership Plymouth, the chamber of commerce program designed to foster community leaders

Pobur has strong opinions on a vari­ety of topics and isn’t afraid to share them She’s an ambassador for the city, trumpeting its positives whenever she gets the chance

She’s gotten the backing not only of the local police, but also of the Police

Officers Association of Michigan and Michigan Attorney General Jennifer Granholm

P h i l P u r s e i l is a local business owner (Mam Street Atito Wash) getting into the political arena for the first tim e He’s got a good bloodline his father is longtime politician and former U S Rep Carl Purseil

Phil Purseil has been a leader in talk­ing about stopping the acrimony that so often crops up at city meetings and his laid-back, easy-listening style should help

We believe Purseil will listen to a variety of voices, will be a good team player and will bring a fresh approach to a city commission that could use one

Like Greene, Ron Loiseile is a veter­an com missioner whose experience

would be a plus, depending on the mix of candidates elected He’s been the mayor before, and he’s kept up with the issues He acknowledges past commis­sions haven’t paid enough attention to the infrastructure and isn’t afraid to take opposing view points on tough issues

Loiseile has kept up on the issues, and his learning curve would be shorter than a newcomer’s

The Plymouth City Commission needs a balance of experience and fresh blood The selection of S te l la G re e n e , Colleen Pobur, Phil P u rse il and Ron Loiseile would best accomplish that

Latin music moves audience with its message

S an Antonio composer Alice Gomez describes her music as “new Hispanic with Aztec and Mayan rhythms fused with classical

and very rhythmic ” Gomez’s talent as a percussionist is one of the reasons Annette Horn is excited about a drumming workshop Gomez will give Saturday, Nov 10, at Native West gallery while in town to hear the Ply­mouth Symphony Orchestra perform her Homenage a Cesar Chavez for

ferent level of relaxation,” said Horn, who’s co-sponsonng Gomez’s appear­ance with the symphony and the drumming workshop “It can just take you there If you listen to her music it will impact you in a positive sense ”

Horn encourages anyone interested in percussion to pre-register for the workshop In conjunction with the event, she has brought in a variety of instruments including the African agogo and guiro Both are hand held and come with a stick to run along the ridges

“I’ve already tried them out,” said Horn, gallery co-owner “They sound really cool We’re so excited to be host­ing her And for the afterglow after the concert we will offer a sampling of various salsas ”

homage to Cesar Chavez played at the Plymouth Symphony Orchestra all-Latin concert It was one of 27 pieces she wrote as composer-in resi­dence for the San Antonio Symphony m Texas Gomez drew on the area’s ethnicity to compose the haunting work that premiered m 1996

“San Antonio is a large melting pot but primarily Hispanic,” said Gomez, who played drums m her father’s Latin dance band from an early age “I always knew of Cesar Chavez as a famous Hispanic leader I’d been car­rying around a motif in my head for 4-5 years but never wrote it down When I became composer-m-residence I decided to wnte something on the field workers struggle I picked up books on Chavez and started reading about the United Farm Workers Asso­ciation movement and Chavez’s fight to stop the spraying of pesticides over workers in the fields Then I saw a video of spraying pesticides over peo­ple m the fields

“The music portrays the devasta­tion these chemicals did to unborn children and people of all ages It’s a very emotional piece throughout I hope the audience is moved All my music has some kind of message I can’t do anything physically to help so I wnte music I hope it helps people become aware of the subject matter

BY ERVIN MONROE S pecial Writer

The streets of London were empty early Sunday morning, but by the time we left for Wales at noon everyone was out and about and the shops were opemng It started raining again, and our bus driver informed us that a major bridge on our way might be closed due to high winds Fortunately, we made it through to Cardiff, the capi­tal of Wales

Our hotel was positioned directly across from the Cardiff Castle and from our room my wife, Susan, and I could see a tower m the center of the castle

grounds that had once been the prison home as well as death place of the Duke of Normandy, about 800 years ago

Although we were staying in Cardiff, our concert that evening was at the Brangwyn Hall m Swansea, a seashore town We rested a bit and boarded the buses again for our concert about 45 minutes away The rams kept coming, and the winds had picked up tremen­dously The hall was located off a waterfront drive, but we could barely see the waters TTie orchestra was well received by the Welsh, who gave a very folksy reception for the musicians fol­lowing the concert

Our next day was a rest day in Cardiff, where we enjoyed the local sights and were amazed at signs writ­ten m English and the old Gaelic lan­guage of Welsh On Oct 9 we were off to Germany This was the beginning of five concerts in five days, with travel each day Before the concert m Nurem­berg, our thoughts of the world activi­ties seemed distant until police asked

us to exit the stage They brought m bomb-sniffing dogs and combed the auditorium and stage area making sure that all was secure It put a chill on the evening’s activities The next day we were en route to the home city of DaimlerChrysler, Stuttgart, Ger­many The concert was sold out, and needless to say, very pro-DSO

Our next day was spent m Cologne, which has one of the world’s most famous cathedrals adjacent to the con­cert hall The concert hall is beautiful, but m order to avoid any obstruction of view of the cathedral from across the river, the concert hall was built under­ground

Our next destination was Leipzig, formerly part of East Germany Unlike Cologne, we had few security guards in our hotel halls, and the local authori­ties informed us that there was little to no security risk m their city In fact, there were very few ethnic groups here, perhaps due to the many years under

play her clay in this year The Troy a r tis t , who was m the Pewabic Pottery show m Ann Arbor two weeks ago, will bring vases and tiles with abstracted figures drawn into the surface She describes the work as hav­ing a soft, smoked look on the outside with splashes of color This is her f ifth year in the Birmingham Temple Art Show

“It’s a fine art show, they keep the level of work h ig h ,” said Tomas, whose work will be on display at the Washington Street G allery in Ann Arbor for the next two months “There’s good attendance, a loyal following It’s a good place to find fine art and fine craft and special gifts for yourself and someone else ”

K intsis couldn’t agree more She first bought art at the show m 1983 after receiving a check from her aunt to purchase some­thing for her new home in Livo­nia

“I usually buy something every year,” said Kiritsis “I buy a lot of clay This year I carpeted the whole house so I’m looking for a piece of furniture Anyone who comes will be able to find some­thing to purchase and we’re giv­ing away six gift certificates for art There’s ample parking and admission is free

“There is a Friday night gala opening with wine, hors d'oeu- vres, dessert, and a chance to meet the artists It’s a happen­ing”

Toronto festival mirrors life, deathOpens Friday:Mathieu Kassovitz stars in Amehe, a choice pick from the Toronto Film Festival m the­aters Nov 9.

Bruno calvo

By Martin Bandyke AND KIM SILARSKI Special writers

A typically joyous annual cele­bration of new film from around the world was stopped m its tracks, like just about everything and everyone else, when those planes hit the World Trade Cen ter and the Pentagon Suddenly, seeing a film was beyond trivial Enjoying oneself, sacrilegious Watching TV, vital Thinking of all the movies that have present­ed similar acts as entertainment, sickening

At the 2001 Toronto Interna­tional Film Festival, early birds at 8 30 a m screenings were the only ones to see a film on Tues­day, Sept 11 Soon after, offi­cials brought everything to a halt for the day and anguished over whether to cancel the rest of the festival

On W ednesday, screenings resum ed but all festiv ities , including an awards banquet, were cancelled

It’s often said that art reflects our humanness and helps us to make sense of life In an accident of programming, the Toronto fes­tival offered - p rio r to the a ttack s - several film s th a t either reflected the atrocities or underscored what gives meaning to life They also happened to be some of the festival’s best films

Absurdity of warNo Man’s Land, winner of the

best screenplay prize a t th is year’s Cannes Film Festival, deftly exposes the horror and absurdity of war Beginning with th ree soldiers trap p ed in a trench during the conflict that tore Yugoslavia apart, the story expands to include the actions of the United Nations peace-keep­ing force sent to defuse the situa­tion facing one of the soldiers F a r from being a com pletely grim and gory genre picture, director Dams Tanovic’s feature debut relies in p a rt on black humor No prior knowledge of eas te rn European strife is required to appreciate No Man’s Land It has more to say about the existence of conflict misun­

derstanding and hatred m the world than about any one battle or warFamily drama

The influence of western soci­ety throughout the world angers some but Chinese director Zhang Yang’s complex family drama, Q uitting , i l lu s tra te s the inevitability of mixing cultures Though not a docum entary, Q uitting is a rem arkable and harrowing true story where all members of the cast, including patients and staff m a mental institution, portray themselves The pro tagonist is actor J ia Hong-Sheng, a huge film star in la te ’80s China whose career derailed when he became addict­ed to drugs Jia’s parents, mem­bers of a tiny theater troupe m a rural town m Northeast China, pack up their few belongings and move to Beijing to help straight­en out their son Jia could be any young American male, but to see a Chinese man so obsessed with The Beatles, electric guitars and blue jeans is startling Witness­ing his recovery from addiction and reconciliation with his par­ents is enormously satisfying

Mira N air’s exuberant Mon soon Wedding was presented m Toronto just after winning the Golden Lion (grand prize) at this year’s Venice Film Festival Fol­lowing a large group of relatives gathered m New Delhi for the arranged wedding of a beautiful daughter, this visually brilliant and sensual comedy/drama cele­brates life and the affirmation th a t r itu a ls can bring As in Q uitting , N air explores the uncom fortable yet inexorable mix of old and new ways, west ern and eastern cultures Its

equally engaging multiple story­lines involve a secret that threat­ens the betrothed young coupje of the title , the romance of an annoying wedding planner and the host family’s servant and the unmasking of a beloved uncle

The fasc ina ting ceremonies that conclude the film are a lush study m color, motion and sound With a terrific ensemble cast and a hypnotic score, Monsoon Wed ding is a very satisfying film - one that entertains, informs and uplifts

Winning heartsAmehe, winner of the People’s

Choice Award a t Toronto, may well be the next foreign film to win the hearts of a wide audi ence and probably an Oscar or two The lum inous Audrey Tautou inhabits the title role of a seemingly unassuming wait ress who dedicates herself to the happiness of o th e rs Q uietly orchestrating the lives of friends and strangers m her vicinity, Amelie tries to create for them a ju s t and cheerfu l un iverse, un w ittin g ly fueling her own search for love It’s funny, sad, off-kilter, incredibly romantic and filled with manic energy and stunning Parisian visuals Direc to r Jean -P ie rre Jeu n e t (Deli catessen, The City o f Lost Chil dren) has fashioned an enchant­ing film featuring more than 80 locations m the City of Light including Notre-Dame, Le Sacre Coeur and the streets of Mont­martre

Amehe will transport you to a state of total bliss - something we all can use a bit more of these days I t opens in metro area movie theaters Friday, Nov 9

DSO from page C lB O O K H A P P E N IN G S

Iron Curtain ruleThe facilities at the hall were

the most impressive I’ve ever seen There was even a room for each instrument group, and Jef­fery Zook, piccohst, and I enjoyed looking at the posted photos of a flute party held by the Leipzig flutists with clever commentaries under each photo The concert was well received, and we played two encores to an audience that did not want to leave

After the concertThe evening’s activities follow

ing the concert were entertain­ing M aestro Leif Segerstam entertained a crowd at the bar by sitting at the piano and perform­ing some of his own composi tions I t was a nice way to end our v isit to Germany, and we were off to Austria early the next morning

On Saturday, Oct 13, the hotel lobby was buzzing with the latest news Bruce and Linda Smith, violinists w ith the orchestra, would not be traveling with us the rest of the way Bruce had his appendix removed in a Leipzig hospital early that mom mg

We eventually arnved m Vien­na the culture capital of the world We have played Vienna on every tour the DSO has made to Europe, but the one bothersome

thing is the limited backstage facilities at the concert hall We have to dress m our full formal concert a ttire (with tails) and walk down the street from the hotel a block away We pass a few cafes along the way, and onlookers always stare at us m amazement

The next morning we were invited to a brunch It was host ed by the charge d’affaire, but the buses delivered us to the U S am bassador’s home By the time we learned that we were at the wrong place, our buses had already departed We were left to discuss our plight in a little alley that led up to the ambassador’s residence Thank goodness for cell phones After a number of calls, one of the buses was able to return and take us to the charge d’affaire’s Our host thanked us for coming in such difficult times and told us we were not only rep­resenting the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan, bu t the en tire U S Then he added we should also be proud of our per­form ance, he “ra re ly heard a Vienna crowd respond so affir­matively to a concert of a visiting orchestra ”

A number of our board mem­bers joined us in Vienna, includ­ing our chairman of the board, Peter Cummings, and his wife, Julie, as well as former chairman

Alfred Glancy and longtime board member B arbara Van Dusen We spent the rest of our last free day taking in the sights of Vienna, knowing that we had only three concerts left

Winding it upMonday, Oct 15, and we were

on the last leg of our musical journey, m aking our way to Spam We arrived m Murcia m the early afternoon, where the weather was very warm Murcia is a busy, working city There s a lot of pollution The cars smoke a lot, and so do the people We realize we have been spoiled up to now because most people we have encountered on our trip have been able to speak at least some English Not here m Mur cia Leaving a wake up call for my nap became a major event

We played our concert a t the Auditorio y Centro, which was very resonant It was a fun con cert, and the entire orchestra was really in top tour form The maestro spoke in Spanish, dedi eating our encore to the memory of those who died at the World Trade Center Again, it was a moving event, and the audience responded with enthusiasm and support

The next day we traveled to Madrid, where the concert was sold out Emil Kang, our execu

The occasion of m y eigh th-grade studen t aw ards cerem ony was a prophetic one I was named best dressed, or “Mr Saks Fifth Avenue” as the certifi­cate officially declared

Perhaps it was my intense study of The Preppy Hand book and subsequently tak­ing stock of my closet to ensure I ’d pass m uster m even the preppiest of cir­cles0

I s till rem em ber the checklist Red, lime green and light blue cot­ton slacks0 Check Coordinating fabric belts0 Check Madras shorts0 Check The purple and green Polo shirts received as a birthday present and a red Izod Wmdbreaker with its rich plaid lining0 Big check, indeed

In those days, shopping included stops in the boy’s department at Saks or Jacobson’s, plus my favorite of all, Hughes & Hatcher, which was located m downtown Birming­ham, and where once inside, the clothes had to compete with an old-fashioned cage eleva­tor for my attention

Four years at Brother Rice and a part-time job in the credit office at Saks Fifth Avenue that saw me through college and graduate school required a new perspective on dress­ing I quickly developed an affinity for natty sports jackets, patterned dress shirts and vests, and smart-looking ties, while my white bucks were gently cleaned with an emery board when scuffs marred their appearance

My closet also matured thanks to a motor­ized tie rack and my very own shoe shine kit (no more rifling through my father’s closet in search of his)

Working at Saks for nearly a decade cer­tainly sparked an interest in all things retail and undeniably shaped the p a th of my future 9-to-5 life It was a valuable educa­tion, talking with store executives, practicing detente in all m atters of customer service and seeing how department managers dis­played their wares

Rightly so, doodles in my high school and college notebooks took the shape of my own dream emporium, each department carefully placed and cleverly named Similarly, I plot­ted a first rate shopping district for Any- town, USA

No surprise then that my graduate studies essay explored the effectiveness of image advertising campaigns for the then belea guered fur industry Fm sure mine remains

the only master’s paper at Wayne State Urn versity w ith more references to Women’s Wear Daily than traditional scholarly jour­nals

And today, the draw is as strong as ever Display windows never fail to catch my attention, although I’m usually looking with a critical eye rather than searching for some­thing to buy Even when traveling, my itiner­ary includes time wandering through shop­ping areas to identify the good and the bad What stands out0 Which stores merely blend into the background0

These questions apply not just to retail shops but also to each of us Do we have a definable, singular style0 Or, are we merely ju s t one of the crowd0 Do we dress to impress without taking a good long look m the mirror0

Every morning we have the option of either dressing well or being well dressed I opt for the latter And yes, there is a differ­ence

Lots of folks dress well In fact it’s quite easy to do They tu rn out m the hottest names m fashion, wearing labels like badges of honor Or worse, they go overboard and are awash m the season’s “it” colors or pat­terns Yet plaids and stripes, or slim fitting trousers, for that matter, are not for every body

Style, then, is really up to us, about dress­ing to the time and place We can be well dressed on weekend mornings waiting m line at the neighborhood diner without sacri­ficing comfort Just replace the faded work­out T-shirt and well-tread gym shoes with a wrinkle-free henley and Merrell slip-ons Or, go for a 70s inspired tracksuit Plus, there’s no hard and fast rule that says Old Navy cargo pants and a J Crew argyle roll neck can’t be paired with Prada Sport boots when going on a dmner-and a-movie date

Style is amorphous and always evolving It’s confidence and comfort, with a dose of casual coolness It’s having the courage to occasionally wear a tie to the office despite the casual day ls-every day dictum I t ’s never about being a sartorial snob, nor is it simply about what we wear

No, style is much more than that, like let­ting the parent with a squirming child step ahead of you at Starbucks After all, your cel­lular phone fits neatly into your pocket

Devote more than a day trip to visiting the Thumb areaBY THE THREEOLBAGS SPECIAL WRITERS

May we suggest M ichigan’s Thumb area for an interesting road tnp this fall9

When the ThreeOlBags decid­ed to tour the Thumb, we chose to wing it, fly by the seat of our pants, mosey upward to our des­tination m Port Austin, stopping a t w hatever struck our fancy along th e way F rank ly , we weren’t expecting too much

Boy, were we mistaken Our two-day jaunt was full of surpris­es

Sharon Hegwood, photogra­pher and driver for ThreeO l­Bags, headed northeast on US 29 “Follow the shoreline,” was the plan We gave her permis­sion to stop and go at will We decided to board the auto ferry to Harsen’s Island

* “That was the weirdest feeling I’ve ever had,” said Lmda Spark­man, editor for ThreeOlBags “My stomach leapt to my throat and stayed there until I was con­vinced it was just a nice, safe lit­tle ferry nde ”

We spent an enjoyable morn­ing exploring the island, meeting in te re s tin g people who live there, and experiencing a little of the “island life ”

Beautiful homes with spectac­u lar views along the St Clair River drew our attention as we “oohed” and “aahhed” our way along the road leading to shops on the island A former fire sta­tion turned antique store, an old hardware store, a gift shop and a volunteer lib rary peaked our interest We enjoyed a leisurely and delicious lunch while we watched huge barges, and sporty speedboats head south along the St Clair River

About mid-afternoon we made it back to the ferry and contin­ued our journey around the Thumb

The Blue Water Area starts in Algonac and follows the coastline up th rough M arine City, St C la ir, M arysville and Port Huron Watching ships, scuba giving, sailin&^lhit skiing and swimming are$li§|e of the water sports visitors and residents of these shoreline communities enjoy

According to V acationland 2001, an official guide for the Blue W ater Area, Southeastern Michigan has the best walleye fishing in the state

P o rt Sanilac is home to a ^working lighthouse, one of thea-’

Thumb’s many lighthouses that still guide sailors while provid ing picturesque scenes

Our next stop was Port Huron, the boyhood home of Thomas Edison We walked along the water on a beautiful boardwalk, enjoying the warm sunshine

W hile in Port H uron, the ThreeOlBags decided to tour the Huron Lightship Museum, locat ed just south of the Blue Water Bridge, which is the only inter national crossing jointly owned by Michigan and Ontario, and a spectacular sight itself

Our lightship guide gave many interesting facts about lightships used by the U S Coast Guard m a bygone era The Huron Light­ship served fifty years m places where the water was too deep to build a traditional lighthouse The bright light atop her mast, and loud fog horn, helped guide barges along the Great Lakes

She was retired in 1970, and designated as a National His­toric Landm ark in 1989 We loved w alking her decks and looking overboard into the beau tiful crystal-blue waters of Lake Huron

As determined as we were to be spontaneous on this trip we did call ahead for overnight accommodations at Breakers On The Bay beach resort, located just west of Port Austin So, we had to pull ourselves away from beautiful Port Huron and contin­ue north

We also regret the necessity of hurrying past the Huron City Museum, where a view of how people m the area lived 100 years ago is preserved The museum looked like a miniature Greenfield Village from the road as we drove by

We also passed by Harbor Beach, noted as “the world’s largest man-made fresh water harbor” m The Thumb Traveler

Necessary restWe arrived at Breakers a little

tired from our day of exploring After settling into our room and resting a short time, we enjoyed ail excellent dinner in the Break ers’ fine-dming room with a gor geous view of the sunset over the bay It was the perfect ending to a wonderful day

The next morning after a com plimentary continental break fast, we spoke with Diane Ruth, owner of Breakers, and former Bloomfield Hills resident

About three years ago, Ruth bought the former Castaways

Late m the morning of day two we headed back to the road, and around the tip of the Thumb, until we spotted a “Horseback Riding Here” sign, ju s t west of Breakers On The Bay, on M25

Plenty to keep you busyIn addition to horseback rid

ing, Port Austin has many fami ly attractions, including a half mile boardwalk where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll, or fish off the pier Nearby state parks are clean, and beaches are plentiful Camping, charter fishing, and golfing are some of the many other activities for families to enjoy

Only five minutes away from Port Austin is Grindstone City, another point of interest

The general store is just one of eight histone buildings m which you can expenence a taste of the past G rindstone C ity was a bustling town th a t produced grindstones from 1835 to 1938 According to Judy Manon, who heads the H istorical Society there, Grindstone City was the

world’s largest producer of grind stones In addition grindstones made there were the highest quality ever made and were sent all over the world “Bob T albert, formerly w ith the Detroit Free Press used to call this area Michigan s best kept secret ” said Marion

As a visitor, you 11 see many authentic gnndstones laying hel ter skelter on the shores — as if the workers just went home one day and never came back

Our next stop was in Caseville a picture book little fishing town called the perch capitol of Michigan ’ m The Thumb Trav eler In Caseville we discovered a gold mine of Cat Who books at Caseville Books (6600 Mam Street) The popular murder mystery books, are written by Lilian Jackson Braun who used to own a vacation home m Caseville where she worked on her early Cat Who books In her honor, Caseville Books carries the entire senes including a few hard to find volumes like The Cat Who Played Brahms and The Cat Who Ate Danish

On the way down the thumb’s w est side the highw ay goes inland and a quiet scenic land scape helped us wind down We had our pictures taken while sit ting on Ronald McDonald s lap in Sebewaing bought the biggest bluebernes we’ve ever seen at a roadside stand outside Decker and saw the city of Ubly host to

man is Gary Heck, owner of Korbel, a Sonoma County sparkling wine produc­er At a recent tast­ing at Mor­ton’s Steak- house in Southfield, we gained a broader vision of Heck Estates

Kenwood Vineyards

In 1970, brothers Mike and Marty Lee along with their brother- in-law John Sheela, founded Ken wood Vine yards In the heart of Sonoma Val­ley m the town of Ken­wood, they refurbished and modern­ized the for­mer Pagam Brothers Winery, established in 1906 They were off to the races becoming one

of Sonoma County’s premier wineries Heck bought the winery in 1998

The smartest thing he did was to encourage winemaker Mike Lee to stay on board Today, Lee’s wines show the fullest potential of the 22- acre producing estate and grapes sourced from some of Sonoma Coun­ty’s top vineyards

Well-deserving of all the positive reviews, Kenwood Artist Senes is the top-of-the-hne At $75, the 1997 edi­tion with a vibrant landscape label, created by the brush strokes of French painter Rizo, is a crownmg wine achievement Principally, caber­net sauvignon with 3 percent each meriot and cabernet franc, the wme is chock full of everything that’s great about the 1997 vintage

That’s a wine to cellar The “now” wines at more modest pncing include the harmonious 2000 Reserve Sauvi­gnon Blanc $16 and 2000 Chardonnay $17, a classic wme with a significant percentage of grapes from Heck- owned vineyards m the Russian River Valley

Another classicThe 1998 Reserve Olivet Pinot Noir

$30 is another classic from the Rus­sian River Valley With cherry-hke fruit and true Burgundian nuances, it is a brilliant accompaniment to roast duck The mellow-style 1998 Mazzom Zinfandel from Alexander Valley blew us away with its bramble bush, juicy raspberry and dark cherry fruit, com- plexed by lively spice The value- pnced 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon $20 is one of the better 1998s we've tast­ed A notch up is the fuller-bodied, more complex 1998 Jack London

wmmmmmmmm After having dinner with my GOLDEN mother recently, the topic of family

GOURMET and being together was the predominant part of our conversation In light of the recent World Trade Center attack, I would like to make some recipes that can be pro­duced together by family members

This reminds me of the bro^i-es, cakes and pies we used tori

II I IKiL ^ make together when I firstW& 1 cooking

Apple season is upon us and there is nothing better during the

fall harvest than Mieln apple pie Actually going out to pick the apples on a Saturday or Sunday with the family feotald make that plain apple pie a memorable one

Don’t forget to grab a carving pumpkm and several baking pumpkins for soup or pumpkin brql#e* ’¥v&~ included recipes for both y 6 >_

If you are adventurous, Jafl^h&ryast tnhe-in Michi­gan is the best time to get all o f tfse bfard-to-find ingredients like purple potato^, different flavored peppers and Swiss chard - the flavorful green leafy

vegetable that is so underutilized Chard is sort of like a beet green, but not as strong and has a flavor like spinach

Also Michigapjharvest brings squash of all shapes and sizes, from pattypan - the little flying saucer­shaped squash 4- to the big Hubbard squash, which m my opinion, tastes better than most of the other vari­eties of squash out there Although hard to skin and not the easiest to clean, the end result is worth the effort

Be sure to visit roadside staftd$* You may find fresh basil to make a pesto sauce Freeze it to use all winter long Or you can purchase other fresh herbs to make herb oils using olive oil instead of butter for dipping bread

Harvest time is traditionally a time when families pulled together to bring in the crops Today, more than ever, we should take the time to celebrate the bounty of our country’s harvest and enjoy it with m m we love.

A lth o u g h th e o w n e rs tr ie d to gyab the brass ring of premium production, they never quite made it In 1997, they sold to Kenwood Vineyards With the pu rchase of Kenwood, Heck acquired V alley of the Moon Winery and over the last three years, has ramped up quality

Only a handful of producers make pmot blanc, but it is the largest seller at this winery The 2000 Valley of the Moon Pmot Blanc $16 shows why this vari­etal is experiencing a revival The intense 1998 Syrah has the right touches of smoky oak and leather notes over supple fruit The robust 1998 Cuvee de la Lima $25 is 73 percent cabernet with merlot as the balance

___________ POTSTICKERS

Potstickers originated in China and migrated to Japan and the West The Mandarin Chinese name for potstickers is chiaotze and the Cantonese call them gau gee You can see where the Japanese got the word gyoza from they borrowed the name as well as the dumpling*

The Chinese version is larger, has more filling and is folded into almost a shell pattern This Japanese version is what was served at Diamond Head The Chi­nese version is made with a thick er, larger potsticker wrapper, twice as much meat, and requires longer steaming

Like won tons, potstickers can

be made up ahead and frozen for future use Cook them right from the freezer Thawing them makes them too wet and they will never brown properly You can also vary the fillings

1 pound pork ground1 egg1 tablespoon cornstarch2 teaspoons salt1 tablespoon soy sauce3/4 cup water chestnuts

minced1/4 cup fresh cilantro or

green onions chopped fine1 (16 ounce) package gyoza

wrappers

Sauce2 tablespoons soy sauce1 teaspoon chiH oil2 teaspoons sesam e oil1 teaspoon rice vinegar (cider

will do)

In a bowl combine the pork, cornstarch, egg, salt, soy, water chestnuts and cilantro Mix well Scoop a teaspoonful of the filling onto the middle of a wrapper, moisten edges and fold over mto a

semicircle Squeeze to seal Scallop the curved edge of the dumpling by folding it over slightly onto itself m little quarter-inch folds Repeat this about five times along the rounded edge Take care to 1 space the scallops evenly along the * potsticker for aesthetic appeal *

Heat two tablespoons of veg- *etable oil in a large frying pan over * medium high heat Place the pot * stickers in the oil and cook until one side is browned Pour a half cup of water mto the pan and cover Steam the dumplings until the wrapper takes on a translu cent shine about 10 minutes Check them periodically and add more water as necessary Do not allow the water to boil off the dumplings will burn Remove them from the pan with a sharp edged spatula and serve immedi ately with the gyoza sauce

Makes about 70 dumplings 1Vegetarian variation Stuff the -

wrappers with tofu salad instead 1 of pork

If normal cleanliness has become an obsessive fear of germs and daily life is disrupted by uncontrollable compulsive behavior, you may have a mental health condition called obsessive-

compulsive disorder or OCD It often runs in families and is more common

than many people realize, said Dr Gregory L Hanna, director of the Child & Adolescent Psy­chiatry Division for the University of Michigan Health System Hanna and his research team have discovered further evidence that there is a genetic component to OCD

“OCD affects between 1 and 3 percent of the world’s population, which makes it more com­mon than schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or panic disorder,” says Hanna

“It can develop during childhood or adulthood and often changes over time Typical obsessions consist of worries about harm to self or others and excessive concerns about dirt, germs or ill­ness - both of which often trigger repetitive compulsive behaviors ”

Christopher King, an 18-year-old OCD patient from Livonia, developed symptoms a t age 11 after recovering from a bacterial infection “I noticed that I started obsessing about germs If someone sneezed, I had to go into the bathroom and wash for half an hour at a time,” says King “It was like something inside me was telling me I have to do this I couldn’t stop it, even if I wanted to *

People like King who develop OCD during childhood are much more likely to have relatives with the condition than those who develop it

during adulthood Hanna and colleagues at the U-M and the University of Chicago are studying families with OCD to identify genes that make a person vulnerable to developing the disorder

Other factorsHanna emphasizes that not all forms of OCD

are caused by a single genetic variation Like many medical conditions, it develops when peo­

ple who are genetically predisposed are exposed to specific environmental triggers For example, recent studies indicate it may be linked to previ­ous-strep infections or other types of infection

“If we can establish genetic markers for the illness, we may be able to use them for diagnos­tic testing Ultimately, we hope to learn more about how to prevent the illness in people who are at heightened risk for developing the prob lem and how to develop safer and more effective treatments for the disorder ”

Until the 1970s, psychiatrists had few effec­tive treatments for OCD The good news today is that a combmation of medication and behav­ior therapy can help most people with obsessive compulsive disorder

“It was ruining my life,” says King “I was con­stantly m my room, because I was so afraid of germs Dr Hanna helped me find out what my problem was and how to desensitize myself ”

Obsessive-compulsive and tic disorders in children may have origin in strep infection

National Institute of Mental Health researchers report that some children whose symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and tic disorders were worsened by a common strep infection have been successfully treated with plasma exchange and

intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) Dr Susan Swedo and colleagues at the National Institutes of Health reported their findings in the Oct 2 issue of Lancet

In previous studies, Swedo and others observed that m a small number of children suffering from the obsessional thoughts and com­pulsive behaviors typical of OCD and tic disorders, symptoms sud­denly became worse after infection with Group A beta hemolytic streptococci

Evidence pointed to an autoimmune response to the infection, in which antibodies attack healthy as well as infected cells, leading to inflammation m the brain’s basal ganglia, an area involving move­ment and motor control The resulting syndrome typically occurs in young children and is noted fonts dramatic, sudden onset or exacer­

bation of symptoms and episodic course, in which periods of symptom worsening follow strep infections

The investigation shows that plasma exchange and IVIG relieve neuropsychiatnc symptoms in this subgroup of children with tics and obsessive-compulsive disorder

“A few children were even able to discontinue all psychotropic medications after treatment,” said Swedo

Of the 29 children who completed the trial (19 boys, 10 girls), 10 received plasma exchange, mne IVIG, and 10 placebo Both plasma exchange and IVIG produced substantial improvement in obsessive- compulsive symptoms, anxiety, and overall fiinctionmg, plasma exchange also improved tic symptoms

Ratings done one month after treatment revealed that patients m both the plasma exchange and IVIG groups were much improved In contrast, symptoms changed little m children who received placebo The treatment gains of plasma exchange and IVIG remained at one year follow-up, with 14 of 17 subjects “much” or “very much”

improved over baselineHowever, the study does not support using plasma exchange and

IVIG for all cases of tics or OCD Nor does it suggest that all children with untreated strep infections will get OCD, tics, or Tourette syn­drome Strep infections are common, and strep-triggered neuropsy­chiatnc disorders are rare The vast majonty of children with strep infections are not at risk for developing these disorders, particularly with prompt attention and treatment, said Swedo

Although the cause of obsessions, compulsions, and tics is unknown, evidence suggests a common ongin for all of these symp toms, with genetic and nongenetic factors playing a role

HURTING A LL OVERThe experience of hurting all over is one that all of us share Likely you

can recall a time when you exerted yourself too hard for too long and woke up the next day with every muscle aching Guys who haven t played football for years and then get together for a fnendly game of touch football have memories of the profound aching that followed the next day

You know what aching all over is from past episodes of flu You get a viral infection It stays hidden only for a few hours then you know its presence from the aching that takes over your whole body

In such instances the aching comes on quickly has a cause that you can identify and clears after one to several days

Anothe kind of hurting all over is not so easily resolved The features are an aching that is present every day includes both sides of your body and does not change for better or worse whether you rest try to exercise use heat or cold or attempt extra rest In fact rest is difficult because the aching

i become more intense on lying downI you have this type of all body aching you may have times possibly a whole day when you fe’el

.................... i repeat it

may become more intense on lying down li you have this type of all body aching

all nght However you don't know why you were better or how to In instances when the aching is constant or quirky the cause is tension Something usually at the

unconscious level Is upsetting you The muscles of your body are reflecting an emotional conflict 1n most cases the best treatment is not anti anxiety or anti depression medications but a search witfjln yourself for the source of the conflict and your answer as to what you can do about it

New condos make the most of recreationIf water for recreational opportuni­

ties is im portant for your housing needs, Pm ehurst Condominiums m Trenton may be a place tb look

The Detroit River and Wayne Coun­ty’s Elizabeth Park are just two miles away from P m ehurst, 149 units attached three-to-five per building off Fort S treet between Van Horn and Vreeland roads

“Trenton is a very desirable place to live,” said Rex Rosenhaus, vice presi­dent of Urnland, the building company “It’s an older, established community w ith good city services, schools, libraries

“A lot of medical facilities and reli­gious institutions are in the general area, plenty of shopping” Rosenhaus said

“The other thing I think that attracts people m is a certain lifestyle - condo­minium - where the interest is m low or no maintenance,” he added “We like to call it carefree living You don’t have to worry about the lawn, snow”

“Not only the river and Lake Erie are nearby, but plenty of recreational activ­ities are around here,” Rosenhaus said

Angel Pyle, is the sales representa­tive at Pmehurst

River is attractive“People say they’ve been waiting for

something like this,” she said “The river is a big draw There’s a lot of boats out here fishing

“I think the floor plans are a big deal for people They like the size,” Pyle added

A variety of floor plans are available, ranch, townhome and story-and-a-half

They range in price from $172,900 for a story-and-a-half of 1,403 square feet with two bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths to $201,900 for a story-and-a-half of 1,691 square feet with three bedrooms and three baths

All the plans include at base price two-car garage, air conditioning, first- floor laundry, basement (except for 16 homes m a wetlands area), range and dishwasher, carpeting throughout and lots of volume/angled, textured ceilings

All units will be fully landscaped Brick, vinyl siding and dimensional shingles are primary extenor materi als

Sales of homes fall reflecting attacks, layoffsB y J e a n m n e Aversa

A S S O C IA T E D P R E S S W R IT E R

Wary about making big financial commit merits, A mericans pushed sales of new homes in September down to their lowest point in a year

R ising layoffs and new uncertainties raised by the terror attacks darkened the jnood of prospective buyers

New-home sales dropped 1 4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 864,000, the lowest level since August 2000, when a rate of 839,000 homes were sold, the Com­merce Department reported

“Many households were probably very ret­icent m September to make major invest­ment commitments such as buying a new house,” said Lynn Reaser, chief economist for Banc of America Capital Management

“In many instances, households’ attention was focused on the whole chain of events that started on Sept 11, and they were wor­ried about what might happen next,” Reaser added

Last month’s drop came on top of a 2 9 percen t decline m new-home sales m August, according to revised figures The government had previously reported that sales rose 0 6 percent

The housing market has been a pillar of the ailing economy But fallout from the §ept 11 attacks has taken a bite out of sales and is expected to dampen demand m the coming months, economists and builders said

Still, even with slowing sales, analysts hope the housing market, aided by low mort­gage rates, will continue to be stable

The average interest on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage m September was 6 82 per­cent, down from 6 95 percent in August In September 2000, the rate stood at 7 91 per cent

By region, sales in the West declined by 8 2 percent to a rate of 224,000 and m the South they fell by 1 4 percent to a rate of 416,000 But m the Midwest, sales jumped by 21 2 percent to a rate of 177,000

Sales m the Northeast took the biggest hit m September, plunging by 26 6 percent to a rate of 47,000, the lowest level since Jan uary 1996 when sales also were a t tha t level Economists blamed the sharp drop on fallout from the terror attacks

“Builders will be showing a good bit of caution and will be employing incentives to attract buyers to make sure inventories of unsold homes don t get high ” said David Seiders, chief economist a t the National Association of Home Builders
