bullAugust 3 smack in tlie middle of summer Vacation time may or not be draw a good showing of NoVi Voters to the polls for the mayoral primaiy

Its the million dollar question City Cleric Tonni Bartholomew said

Ntvt week NoVi Voters will have a chance to pick their single faVorite candidate of four Mayor liathleen McLallen who is seeking a fourth term is competing With former city council member Richard Clark Zoning Board of Appeals Member Michael Meyer and recent NoVi High graduate Craig KortlandL

The two highest Vote-getters Will then face-off in the NoVember race

BartholomeW said shes got enough ballots for a 25 percent Voter turn-out but expects to see

far less than that While some 1070 Voters have turned in absentee ballots already as of Monday a total of 1700 voters are on a list to get the ballots for each election mailed to their homes

Is it merely because they get a ballot automatically I believe so BartholomeW said

People stopping by the city clerks office to pick up absentee ballots haVe been few she added

The polls Will be open from 7 am to 8 pm Due to construction at Novi Middle School Voters from Precinct 12 have been shifted to the nearby Novi Meadows caiete ria

Although Irovideiicc Hospital has given up i len-ycir lii^hl to open a 200 berl IlospiLil on ils ovi cTnlpiis thai doeMli mean iis gien up Ilie idea eniirely

Were never noinu lo ive up but were just Hoiiiij lo luive lo find i different way said Hoi) Casalou Chief Executive OlTiecr lor lYovi-dcnce Hospiial

Casalou said lhe hospital has no more desire to fight the business community anri tin- Michigan Depanmeni of Health who both opposed Pro-idenees plan to transshyfer 188 beds from its Southfield facility to a new one at the corner of Grand River -Xvenue and Beck Road

Its more imperative they remain in partnership instead of against odds he said

Wed like to develop a way a creshyative way to brinij inpatient sershyvices (to the area) he explained

So Providence pulled iis CertifI-cate of Need request from the state last week after a decade of denied

appeils mcl a million dollars spent in legal eosls

Still Casilou intends to give Novi sperial attention

bullovi hiis been such a Iremeil-dous partner and supporler he explained Tliis is in no way a sign Ihal were hacking off oil our eom-nlitinenl (to the city)

Novi Mayor Kathleen McLallen expressed disappointment but conshyfidence in ihe future of the medical campus The cost of pursuing this case through the courts over the last ten years has simply become cost prohibitive (for Providence) she explained

Still she added we have a comshymitment from Providence the camshypus will continue lo evolve lo delivshyer health care needs to this comshymunity How to deliver it remains to be seen Theyve been an excel-leni group uying to understand Nois health care needs

Casalou said Providence has invested $40 million so far in the

We have a c o m m i t m e n t f r om Pro 1dence the c a m shy

p u s w i l l c o n t i n u e to evolve to de l i ve r h e a l t h care

n e e d s to th is c o m m u n i t y H o w to de l i ve r it r e m a i n s

to be seen

Kathleen McLallen Novi Mayor

Providence Parl--Novi campus which he calls essenlially a hospishytal without beds Additional sershyvices for the 141-acre site could include senior housing facilities and other specialty medical ccn-(e-s Recently Protideiiee added the new Si6 million Michael and Rose Assarian Cancer Cenier

City Manager Ed Kriewall said with the Novi population approachshying 50000 people a hospital is a real need for the conlmuniiy and

doesnt believe Pi-ovidcnce will give up eniirely

Maybe its lime lo get our slate legislators in action lo see if they can do something about this 1 slill think theres hope for the future Kriewall said

Casalou said finances werent a major factor in the decision In fad with all the infraslnicture completshyed il would have been vei effishycient to open a hospital for less than $20 million Besides he said

iiipalleni rare is beroiiiiiig a snmll-er parl of the cost of doing busishyness

Neither were cuts in Medicare and Medicaid a factor in the decishysion

It was the desire lo work more in cooperation with the business coinmunity plus the continuing emphasis on outpatient care in the health care industr- that changed the plans

The withdrawal of the Certificate of Need request comes alter a ten year pursuit by Providence to move 188 iDcds from its Southfield hospishytal lo a new Noi site ^Vhen first proposed in 1989 critics including some hea1lh care insurance comshypanies complained the move would duplicate senices and result in unnecessai^ cost increases The Michigan Depanmeni of Health which has the power to grant the certificate required lo open inpashytient hospitals denied the request saying there were plenty of hospi-

lils and beds in the area to service I lie coniniunily

Protidenee his speill the years In belween and costs upwards of $ 1 million appealing the ruling but in even instance was rejectee

The hospital was to be another step in the development of the Providence Park Novi campus which now includes medical offices specialty centers and an emergency center

The Economic Alliance For Michigan based in Detroit comshymended Providence on withdrawshying from its plans

There have been many drastic changes in the health arena since Providences application was filed in 1989 said Larry Horowitz president of the statewide busishyness-labor coalition Building another hospital does not make sense for Prondence or the genershyal community after a decade of sharp declines in inpatient utilizashytion and a major shift to outpatient care

Campaign chatter Novl mayor Kiihlccn McLillcn appe-ared lo think the large number of

pcoplf in the iudk-n(t- al Monday nlghls city council meeting was not a coincidfnce

AfiL-r several audience members gave their views on issues ranging from the coildiiion of pirks in Novi lo lhe large lawsuit awarded to a developer on Nons behalf during the audience participation part of the meeting McLallen publicly linked audience members to one of her opponents for mayor Richard Clark

i would like to thank the Clark campaign for a well-orchestrated proshygram she said

After the meeting iVIcLallen said she was impressed with the Clark campaigns organization and commended them on their tactics at the meeting

She said she knew it was his campaign by the nature of some of the speeches and because each had a written statement

McLallen stressed thai she imderstood not everyone who spoke during audience participation was from Clarks campaign

As for her outburst McLallen said it was simply because the speeches had taken almost 90 minutes

It was probably juvenile of me and 1 will probably pay for it in the future she said

R e v y o u r e n g i n e s The ribbon-cutting for the next segment of the Haggerty Connector is

scheduled to take place Monday at 12 noon at M-5 and Twelve Noon The stretch runs north from the interchange and ends at Fourteen Mile Road

Oiilv M Republicans oul of lhe 23 in ilic Senate can return niter the ne-i election she said -nd 1 would be the only one of the si with appropriations experience

So term limits have both hurt and helped her

never supporled term liniils 1 see a lot of problems iri the House because of it On the other hand there are positives The fresh blood is benellcial and theres a new pershyspective Of course ihev dont have a choice WTien you only have sLx -ears you have to net In and make your mark WTien 1 canle in at sL years you were just a kid

Johnson has only been in the senate for about two monihs but has noticed differences from the House

Beinu one of 23 instead of one of so many in the House thats a defshyinite difference Tlieres more decoshyrum Its rowdier in the House Theres inore verbal abuse and debate and for some reason 1 always seemed to be in the middle of it The Senate is more diftnilied

Joliiisoii said because llicriire fewer seriillfjrs shell liki-ly liivi involveriiciil ill i wider virlrly of issues

Ive ilso noticed iliii informashytion moves an awful lot faster The iniormaiion Ir much more readily available and it moves with iiiiich greater speed than it did over in the House where the comniillee chairs would tie il up where lliey would count votes and it would ebb and How as to whether they had the voles or they didnt

In part that speed is because senators work In smaller coininil-tees Senators have larger staffs bull Hencies like ihe Senate Fiscal bullgen(y have fewer people to supply information to she said

As a result the Senate senx-s as a check on some of the legislation that comes out of the House Represhysentatives

Wally Gabler ippointed me and three weeks later he called me into his DlTice and said Now Im anointshying you chairman Get in there and clean it up Johnson said I didshynt know a BOCA rode from a But it was good eNrpcrience ibr me

She was considering running for the county board of commissioners before the house seat opened up Her predecessor left to take a judishycial appointment Her first race was a tough election but she said she spent mostly shoe leather on it walking door to door

If I could tell my colleagues anyshything it would be to knock on doors and not just in an election year That is the one way you realshyly develop a ver- healthy rapport with your constituency Pick up the phone and randoniiy call a few of them and ask them how they feel about a few of the issues It really establishes a wonderful relaiion-

shi]) she said Since gaining a seal on appro

priilioiis one issue has croppcrl up that Johnson will be heavily invohrd in which is Oaklands status as a tax donor county Some Oakland lawmakers arc arguing that the county sends oif to Uinslng far more in ta dolshylars than it receives back in sershyvices

Johnson has requested reports from the Senate Fiscal Agency and the Department of Manageshyment and Budget to determine what the level of donation really is She is concerned that taes paid by large corporations ihrough their headquarters located in Oakland even though the tax liability was generated at outlets elsewhere in the state may skew the numbers to make It look like Oakland donates more thail It actually does

If an ability to see the validity of differing sides of an argument doesnt always get attention or headlines Johnson insists it is necessary to find real solutions up in Lansing

In appropriations you are really negotiatini will all sides and with an administration thai is constantshyly saying no Vou have to be able to see all sides No one can be that certain she said And Ive never gotten good headlines

By Mike Malott HomeTown News Service

Whal Ihcy lack in resources nlcnlbcrs oi ilic Rclbrrn Pariy make up for In cominilnicnl according to Michiftm chapter sccrelar- Shar Johnson

No one draws a paycheck irom the party she said So all members do their work on a volunteer basis and have to cover their own expenses Ibr participating in party actiWties

For example phone bills alone can run upwards of S400 each month according to husband Don Johnson at the couples home in Delia Township near Lansing

And when there is a national convention it means members mdash some coming from as far as Texas and California mdash must pay for their air fare and hotel rooms themshyselves

For Michigan members holding the parts national convention at the Dearborn Hyatt Regency this past weekend meant hours of volshyunteer work organizing the event setting up registering attendees and generally keeping things runshyning

And its an entirely new experishyence for most like Robert Sherman of Pleasant Ridge who just joined the party Sherman put his efforts into setting up the convention hall and helping out wherever he was asked to

Those Who have been with the parly since its inception in 1992 like William and Elejmor Renfrew of Lansing are only a little more experienced WIlIianl Renfrew a chaplain With the LaIlsing Police Department sered as security for ithe event While his Wife Eleanor ran ithe registration desk

Also on the list of new experishyences is running for US Senator Alan Foreman of Fiver1ew may have been a Republican before but now that hes with the Reform Party hes decided to take on Republican Spencer Abraham and jDeniocrat Debbie StabenoW in that Irace neict year He spent his Ume

glad-handing parly menlbers hopshying lo drun1 up support in his bid ibr office

ll makes Don and Shar Johnson senior members since they were involved before it was a parly beginning work in April of 1992 to get Ross Perot on the ballot in his bid back then for president

The Michigan chapter played host to the I eform Partys national convention this past Friday through Sunday Some 450 deleshygates from across the country came to Dearborn to hear speeches from party leaders like Perot and Minshynesota Governor Jesse Ventura On the official agenda for the convenshytion delegates were set to elect the partys national officers and decide on proposals to amend the party platlbrm

Unofficially they came to see if the party can fin(i a viable candishydate for president for next year Perot ranks high on the list Many members said they would support another run by him But Donald Trump is also on the list of conshytenders He had a contingent at the gathering pushing his candidacy Names like General Colin Powell and Republican pundit Pat Buchanan were tossed around Others less Well knowTi like Harvey Carroll Jr of Kentuclqr who said he served as an advisor to George Bush during Operation Desert Storm were there trying to drum up support

The resounding theme among party members is that they are tired of the politics of the major parties They believe the excessive cost of campaigns distorts the best intentions of both Republicans and Democrats They believe the national debt is out of control and trade policy badly needs to be revised

Im fed up With having to choose between bad and worse (in presishydential elecDons) Eleanor Renfrew said Husband William RerlfreW Who once Worked on the staff of a US Congressman as veteran liaishyson said he joined the party

because hes not happy with polishytics as usual and 1 think theres ne-ed for a change

Sherman an imaging specialist at Detroit Edison explained that he joined the party because its ethics matched his

Don Johnson who was not active in politics before joining the party said he doesnt believe govshyernment is looking out for peoples best interests

They are catering to special interests Money talks You need so much money for campaigns they fall right into the hands of special interests that have gobs of money Campaign finance reform is the root of everylhing then I think we can get some positive things for the people he said

Foreman a Republican for most of my life said he had been movshying toward the Reform Party for the last year and a half before he decidshyed to run for the US Senate on the Reform ticket

They (the Reform Party) are putting individuals interests ahead of the partys interests he said Republicans and Democrats are lighting to further their own intershyests rather than the interests of the country Clinton Impeachment trials prime example TTiats what finally made me jump out of the Republican party

Shar Johnson a retired calse decorator said she had never been active in party politics before joinshying the Reform Party because I never felt there was place for me

She believes too much is made of the infighting between Reform Party members

Like every political party in a democracy eveiyone has an opinshyion and Voices it But once a decishysion ii made Well all live With it and move forward Thats what political parties do

Rather that dying Johnson said she believes the party numbers in Michigan are groiving It takes 10 or 15 years to really build a party she said

For niosi kids the ape-old Whal I Did For Summer Vacaiion qucs-lion entails making ihcir lllile brolher or sister cry or visillnft the worlds biflfiest ball of Uvine Howshyever for three local ]ligh school girls things fiot a little more lnter-estinl

Elizabeth Bovair of Novi High School and Annahita ^Vnilreskan-dari and Jessie Mannisto of Northllle High School were chosen along ttith 17 other girls from Michigan to go to Shiga Japan for two weeks

In Septeinber the Shifia students that the girls stayed wilh will be coming to Michigan to stay with them This is the only two-way echange program in the state

However this experience was more than Just the prestige of being chosen for the progranl The girls got the opportunity to kllow what it was like to be a foreigner

American culture Is not how everything is Mannisto said

For two weeks the girls soaked up the Japanese culture and realshyized how (different and how similar they really were Bovair said of this

When vou dive head first into another culture its a big learning eperience Bovair saifj

At first the girls said the biggest challenge was to learn how to comshymunicate Bovairs host sister while she Wrote and read very weli in English could not communicate Verbally much beyond simple senshytences

We usefd a lot of gestures to indishycate things Bovair said A lot of times it was frustrating if I had a more complex thought HoWever it did not keep them from being friends and finding Ways around the communication gap The other girls concurred saying that they remedied the language barrier by Writing down What they Were tiying to say in order to be understood

In Mannistos case she noticed the Japanese students eagerness to learn about the American culshyture and to learn their language She said lhat the Japanese stushydents ofteli Wanted her to help

ihein practice lheir EnglLsh They made me an honorary

member of their English speaking society Mannisto said

Quite often Mannisto said the Japanese llobls would ask her about American pop culture inunshydating her with questions about Jar Jar Binks and whether Obi Wan Kenobi was a robot or not

But not everything American was golden she said

There is a balance she said While they have an interest in stuff that is American they have their own stuff too

Amireskandari said was the fashion guru of her household wilh kids asking her what she thought of their socks and Whether lhey were fashionable where she was from She said the questions forced her to find a polite way to say no in Japanese

Furthermore karaoke seemed to be the shortest distance between two cultures Mannisto said she was queen of the karaoke machine at her going-away party

They couldnt believe that I knew the English songs and some of the Japanese ones Anlireskan-dari said

On the other hand Bovair Was introduced to the music scene of Shiga saying that the band the Kinki Kids was one of the ones that she Was particularly into now

Another adjustment the girls said that they had to make Was their veiy obious difference in color

Bovair referred to a photograph of her With her gym class in Which she stuck out like a sore thumb bullwith her long blonde hair and clear height difference They used to want me to take my hair down even though it Was so hot there so they could touch it Bovair said

The physical differences betWeen American and Japanese students also stood out in Aniireskandarls mind

It Would make me feel Weird to get on a bus because everyone stares she said

But the girls made the distincshytion that they were not judged on the basis of their differences

In this culture if someone didshy

nt like you you wouldnt even know it Bovair said They treat everyone With respect

This respect was even evident In Ihe high schools that the girls attended The girls said they noticed that divisions based on class and musical preference did not seem to exist there

They were a lot more unified at my school Amireskandari said Mannisto added The kids there were so nice and and are much more able to like certain things and not get picked on

Aside from some minor social difshyferences the girls learned that not all the stereotypes about Japan are true While it was true that school and education is very important in their culture the girls said it became much more than Just learning for the students there

(The teachers) are more personshyal with their students even though theres more of them Bovair said She attributed this to the fact that so much of students social life is tied to their education and the teachers spend more time of the day year-round With their stushydents As an example Amireskanshydari related a story in WJllch one of her teachers actually called her student on a cell phone just to chat

The girls also specu1ated that this is a relatively neW thing in education They thought that it may haVe been spurred by the uncommonly high suicide rate among students ln Japan

Overall the trio said they sur-ViVed tWo Weeks of high hunlldity squatter toilets and close quarters but came out of it With a neW understanding of a Very dlferent culture and a better understanding of their oWn

My host family didnt haVe Veiy much BoVair said But What they had they gave to me It made me realize hoW much We take for granted and how much of a culture we really have In a Way feel a lot older than my friends noW

ly of the proposed roadway access and to allow Soave to modify designs to meet the critena the planning commission negotiates

-=-1 the July 21 planning commisshysion meeting Soave presented the same site plan to the commission unihout addressing changes by the residents and separate Issues of commission members

Without enough information from the developen the planning commission tabled Soave s request for approval to the neicl earliest planning commission meeting

Our job is to follow lhe adtlce of consultants the master plan and zoning said Planning Commission Chairman Lou Csordas

We didnt have enough Informashytion to approve it so in fairness to the developer we table il to the next earliest planning commission meeting

Csordas said the commission always tried to follow guifdellnes as closely as possible

We iry- to do the right thing for the citizens and property owners Csordas said

The propert owners are citizens as well and they have an equal right too The planning commisshysion is bound to make hard decishysions but tvhen a plan is in accorshy

dance to our ordinances it gels approved and goes before council

Grays objection to the project had lo do with the sites storm waler which will go through a sil-tatlon basin directly into Morgan Creek which is subsequently sent into Walled Lake

Csordas said the wetlands behind the site are protected and therefore according to ordinance the project was designed accordshyingly

The creek at the site is a large culvert that runs under East Lake and directly into Walled Lake mdash the regional detention basin Gray said

We can protect the wetlands but not the lake

As questions about the proposed project arise more frustration stems from the group as alternashytives to Lhe site are sought

We may not wanl development but we understand that it does happen Gray said

bullVhat we are asking for is what is best for the area We Want the developer to look at alternatives to his designs and do what is best for the quality of wetlands and the lake-

1 feel we as a ciiy need to dlstin-bull^uish between our wants and our needs The residents should vote upon whether or not ve have a golf course I do not fee there should be any lioif course at North Novl Park

I would vote in favor of the charter amendment It seeks simply to make the city keep its word once given K purchase was made a park was promised People must feel confldent that when their government speaks their word is their bond

This is a perfect eample of the lack of communication between city departments and developers We may win on appeal after expending subshystantial taxpayer funds EVen more inexcusable is the fact that we may be without insurance coverage for this loss

As mayor open informative and responsive communlcadons with our residents will be a top priority Resolvshying existing problems and encouraging qualitv development in our city to ensure a proper mix of development (residential commercial etc) is also a priority

Once in office I will request a comshyplete renew of the operation of the ice arena and an audit of Its financial operation NeW management is needshyed 1 do not ex-pect the taxpayers of Novl to finance a loss leader If the ice arena cannot be run properly and profitably it may need to be sold

It is important to have the infrasshytructure hi place to support reasonshyable controlled sustainable quality development Novi must be marketed effectively in order to attract high-tech and light industrial to the appropriateshyly zoned areas of the city We need to develop a city that can afford itself

I do not feel this bond proposal win solve all our problems In order to maintain the residential character of our community extreme care must be taken when deciding which roads will be widened We do need to develop cor-ridor roads in existing commercial areas I will support this proposal

C r a i g K o r t l a n d t

As a citizen of Novl I feel that the residents are adequately served by the existing public and private courses in ihe area Therefore I feel it is not nec-essai^ for the city to become involved in such an endeavor

Ventures that can be left to prishyvate industry to handle like a golf course are nol the place of city gov-ernment I would not vote for the creshyation of a city-owned golf course

Not being involved with the pardcu-lars I can not make a judgment on whether the city was at fault or not That is we have courts for such matshyters What I do know is that the mayor and council should be working with the rest of city officials to do everything in their power to get the judgment reversed so the citizens are not inflictshyed with the costs of the judgment as it stands now

The court judgment that Sandstone Associates has against the city would be one of my top priorities upon entershying office As mayor I woitld like to tiy to reverse the error leam how such an error was made and (discover who if anyone was responsible I Would also like to focus my efforts on ensuring the continuing development of our city sershyvices to keep pace with growing needs

The management of the ice arena shottld re1ew how other local municishypal arenas are run to see how they operate and create revenue It is then the position of the mayor and coilncil to oversee the management of the arena and not to control the day to day aspects of its operation

Novl Is at a crossroads We have to decide If we would like to become the type of city olar neighbors to the east have become or whether to keep our small town feel I would like to retahi what we have now but ensure careful planning through the coining years to keep pace with our growing and changing needs

The cuixent bond issue addresses some of the citys needs for repair and upkeep but falls to address the most urgent need i l l the dty Cross-town t^Sflc concerns need to be addressed now As the proposal stands I would not now Vote for i t

M i c h a e l M e y e r

According to Don Childs amp Associshyates report (9281998 Council meet- ing) there are 74 gold courses within eight miles of the North Novi Park Novi does not need a municipal golf course The park ought to be used for bike paths and walking and bikuig trails as requested by the citizens

K a t h l e e n M c L a l l e n

The citizens of Novi should detershymine If one Novi needs a golf course and two if it belongs at North Novi Park A comprehensive evaluation of economic and environmental issues would be required for citizens to make an informed decision Thats the demoshycratic process

I will vote in opposition to the golf course and in favor of reserving space for kids as well as adults to utilize the park for recreational purposes other than golf that will benefit the health and well-being of the community

I will vote no based solely on proce-dtlral issues Changing the charter is like changing the constitution If the golf course is to be prohibited it should not be via a charter amendshyment There are many other ways to resolve the golf course issue the best of which is reflected in my answer above

Since the council has recently decidshyed to appeal the decision it Would not be appropriate for me to comment at this time on what the city might have done differently m its relationship with the developers If the decision of Judge Howard prevails it will no doubt have a major impact on the financial climate of the city for years to come

1 am legally forbidden to comment on the specScs of the case at this time 1 helieve we do have an excellent legal team which Will prevail based upon strong legal precedence

My first priority as mayor of Novl Woiiid be to represent the citizens of Novi by hearing of their concerns and seekmg to have the city coimcil and the administratiVe agencies of the city address those needs My other priority Would be to advocate a Vigilance on the part of both council and the administration regarding attention to detail in addressing the various issues our growing city faces

The Novi Ice Arena was to reap a $700000 profit in its first year of opershyation histead the taxpayers of Novl ended up paying a $300000 bailout The city of No^ should not be in the business of running an ice arena Once under private ownership it may Very well make a tum-arotmd and make a profit

Infrastructure management transshyportation planning enVlronmental sensitivity prudent land use and Increasing the efficient use of tax dolshylars are zJl important priorities Manshyaging the final stages of NoVis build-out to ensure continued high quality is also critical Attracting and retaining the best city administrators is a third objective And all priorities must be accompllsheij with less taxes not more

We need to be Vety Vigilant regarding commercial development We have more than enough commercial Indusshytrial development and residential development should develop according to the needs of the citizens of Novl For example I recommend that the Buildshying Authority look at least at encourshyaging the development of some new homes in the $150000 range Presentshyly many young couples cannot afford to live in Novl because of the lllgh cost of housing

Whether or not the road bond issue answers citizen concerns regarding local trapoundGlc is up for grabs What I do know is that we need a greater collabshyoration with the county and the state on addressing these issues Present^ I am studying this bond issue and will make an informed decision soon I Just need more input I believe this is one of the qualities 1 wil l bring to the office of mayor mdash namely a willingness to pay close attention to detail and then call the question

A combination of poor commtmlca-tlons management errors and bad luck led to the arenas financial stumshybling The council and I have restrucshytured fines of communication and financial reporthlg requirements to ensure that the new operator vrill orchestrate an efficient turn-around and deliver the long-term profitability inherent In this hivestment

Effecavely balancmg lnfirastructure requirements and world-class developshyment will guarantee that the build-out of Novl vrfll continue to exceed the expectations of our citizens This goal requires aggressively challenging the development community to pay as they go as we successftllly didin the Twelve Mile Read negotiations

I will support the road bond propos-because it Will fund the highest prishy

ority road improvement and mainteshynance projects in our coamiunity Although traffic concerns wiU tindoubtedly continue we must make this ongoing inveistment to maintain our world-class status

PholobyJOHN HEIDER IVIayor Kathleen McLallen at tier home in the south side of Novi

By JEREMY MCBAIN Statt Writer

As Mayor Kathleen McLalltn jices ii tiie city is in fireat shape and she wants to keep it that way

During her time in office McLallen has seen tlie size of the community double Along wilh this she said the city balanced attractive housing for residents with an economy with retail and industl^

I want the city to stay the course It has been very successshyful McLallen said

All of this was done using a minshyimal amount of taes McLallen added

The general fund ax millage in 1999 is actually lower than it was in 1993 she said

To keep up Novis success McLallen said it is critical to make sure quality development Is brought in She said all the facets that make up a good city mdash retail Industry and housing mdash need to be continually studied and placed in areas with good matches

We need to make sure ever-thing has a chance to continue lo

succeed she said It Is going to be pretty tricky lo put in those remaining pieces

To do that McLallen said leadershyship and expertise is needed in the mayors seat Both of which she added she offers to residents

McLallen was born and raised in Washington DC She came to Novi in 1986 when her husband received a job transfer Once here she won a post on the NoW Planshyning Commission and eventually became chair of the cornmission in the early 1990s

The city was then experiencing a major growth that some said was happening too fast

To bring it under control McLallen said the planning comshymission created an updated master plan McLallen said she wanted to step over to the mayors position to keep the master plans ision in place

McLallen was elected mayor of Novi in 1993 She has held three consecutive terms and aiming for a fourth

Im sti11 the same person 1 was in 1993 But Im probably a bit wiser and a bit more understandshy

ing of till coniplexilies of (lit- oliicc- as well IS its linlil-ilions uicl possishybilities slie said

McUillcii said the key to the office is gootl Icadersllip IJsiiig this skill she must lead the council a group elected with indf^idual visions and get theni to ad Ilar-nloniously she said

Wee been elTicientiy working as a team she said

The biggest issue facing Novi is litigation and liability the mayor said She noted that many lawsuits striking the cit actually predate her tenure in office She points to the age in which we live as a cause of tlie proliferation of suits

Anyone can sue us at any one time she said

The biggest of these is the $33 inillIon judgment awarded to Sandshystone Associates which the city is currently appealing McLallen said because the rnatter is still in litigashytion she could not say much about it She did say she is confident the city will prevail in its appeal

The other big issue Is transportashytion In Noti she said and city offishycials are constantly meeting to improve traffic In Novi But

McLillen said slic does nol believe il is really very hard lo navigate Novi

For five hours a day it is conshygested Bui lor 19 hours a day you probably could get iround the cIly pretiv well she said

McLallen said there are improveshyments that can be made One of these could be a monorail system that would link the four quadrants of the city split by 1-96 and Novi Road A system such as this would allow people visiting the city to park In a centralized location but still rapidly travel throughout other areas of the city

Mcl^llen said she also wants to improve the citys cultural life posshysibly through an outdoor performshying arts center in the North Nov i Park

McLallen added that she has found being mayor of Novi a true privilege i_-

It Is exciting to be part of someraquo~-thing that has become dynanucr and well thought out she said

The big picture 1s Do you have a city you are proud of

Novi mayoral candidate Michael Meyer is looking fonvard to the Aug 3 primary

This is democracy at its most beautiful form Meyer said

We have four candidates and the primary is only for mayor This election should really motivate peoshyple to come out and vote

Meyer 53 has been a Novi resishydent for 18 years He and his wife Margaret have been married for 25 years and their son Joe is entershying his senior year at Kettering University

Currently a theology teacher and department head at the Academy of the Sacred Heart in Bloomfield Hills Meyer beheves llis educationshyal background mW play a key role in his success as mayor of Novi

In talldng with many of the citishyzens they have told me that they are not being listened to Meyer said

It appears to me the listening skills I have acquired over the years through teaching and being

on council wiW be very helpful Meyers community experience

includes 12 years as trustee of the Novi Cotrinlunity Schools presishydent of the board of education curshyrent member of the Zoning Board of Appeals current member of the Providence Park Citizen Advisory Board and he is presenUy the treashysurer of the Willowbrook Commushynity Association

He was just 70 votes away from a seat on the council in the 1995 election

Listening and vigilance is what 1 am going to focus on he said

Because of the growth in the city the attitude of the city governshyment seems to be not supportive of vigilance People are concerned with the oversight of the city 1 viill listen and Vigilant in a certain way to communicate to the citizens and represent them in their best intershyests

With a limited mcome Meyer said he look advantage of 1lis sumshymertime Vacation and decided it Was as good as time as eVer to run for the office of mayor

Meyers said his grassroots mayshyoral campaign has him visiting and talking with Novi citizens as he delivers his personal election inforshymation door-to-door

1 love living here in Novi It Is a beautiful place and an exciting community Meyer said

I feel blessed that we were able to gel Into one of the older houses Many people feel that they are being pushed out of the city Young people cant afford to move here and it is a concern of many peo-ple--

As mayor of Novi Meyer said he would expect citizens to hold him accountable for his actions He said his realistic approach to polishytics le11s him that he cant make eveiyone happy but he said he wouid Usten and work his best at improving the quality of 1ife In the city

I truly believe in a balance between moral issues and virtues Meyer said

1 am seeking that Which stands in the middle 1 Wi11 listen carefully to both sides and Will be very aware

of the arguments as I sit at the council table

Coming from a background in plillosophy and theology Meyer is looking towards a logical approach to governing the city of IVovi

People appreciate it when you do Well With small things he said

By paying attention to detail you might do Well with bigger things as well

Meyer said he has always had political ambitions and thought this election Would be the perfect opportunity for him

The citizens are concerned With the fact the city government has not been listening to them he said

I Will shoW them an effort to communicate and a wiUingness to hear there concerns In the 18 years I have lived in Novl 1 have learned a lot about the dty I love I believe I could lead it Well

Pfiolo by JOHN HEiDER Craig Kortlandt is heading for WMU and he iiopes city hall too

By BJ Hammerstein Staff Writer

He may not be old enough to order an alcoholic beverage at the local bar but Craig Kortlandt is confldent he can be an effective mayor for the city of Novi

Kordandt 18 dicint groW up dreci1ning of running for po1itlca1 office but Instead he sees an opportunity to add a fresh take in a position he feeis could use an unbishyased outlook

1 am not looking at tills as a career but the city of Novi needs a change noW Kordandt said

There are three other candishydates Who have had other city affll-iatlons and Worked With governshyment and 1 think the city couid use a fresh look and fresh Ideas

A graduate of NoVl High School Kordandt vrill be attending Western Michigan UniVersity in the fall Although there is substantial dls-tance between his future university and Novi Kortlandt said he W111 be able to balance the position of

mayor and his role as freshman I W111 be ab1e to incorporate both

positions he said The position of mayor is a part-

time job that requfres a lot of attenshytion to the citizens and tile coimcli The city nlanager Is the job that manages the city

Kortiandt Who cunently resides With Ills parents George and Patrishycia said he Is gomg to study aviashytion Willie attending college

Like most odier young adults Kortlandt is Working during the summer in his case as a sWim teacher at the Novi High School pool and a life guard at the Sports Club

I think I am a pretty normal guy Kordandt said

I Would liked to be looked at as an ordina1y guy Who helped to solve a problem

Kortlandt said his brother Scott and his sister Heather along viith the rest of his family have been very supportive and excited during his campaign for mayor

My family has been veiy supshyportive and so have many of the people I have talked with he said

I am talking to people in the subdivisions people on the street and they are willing to talk to me about the Issues that are important to them

The hot issues for Kortlandt are the same issues many of the citishyzens ta Novi Eire concerned with

Kort1andt said the city needs to address the $33 miilion lawsuit it owes to a developer the golf course shou1d be voted on by the people and the citys groWth should be looked at

1 think the city needs to do eVeiythtag dtley can to get the laWshysult appealed Kortlandt said

We need to find out how the judgment occurred and also find out Who is responsible

We also need to focus on the growth of our city We may have to sloW residential groWth and the citys groWth to keep pace with city services We also have look at the

Widening of Grand River Avenue oy^ decide what to do with Ten MUe Road

Although Kortlandt may be yoimg candidate for mayor he sald^ he ImoWs of a mayor betag electecT ta NeW York who was 19-years-o1dpound

Age is not a concern for me Kordandt said

Once the people get to know me and understand what my ideas are the people Will see I am just as Viable candidate as the rest

EVen though many people may consider Kortlantlt a long-shot at Wi1intag the election he Isnt hesi- tant to proVe his disbeUevers Wrong

People Want a change ta the dty goVemment Kortlandt said [-X

If they Want a more practical^-and Well thought of Way of dotag--thtags 1 think the ciUzens of NoVf bull should vote for me 71

While he says Wovi is a great city candidate for mayor Richard Clark said there are serious problems that need to be resolved and it is time for a change in bustaess

As I am gotag around the dty during this campaign I have never seen or felt this much discontent he said

An attorney With Auto Club Clark moved to Novi in 1979 and has lived ta southeast Michigan all of his life Hes spent six years on the KoVl Planning Commission serving as chair for two years He Was appotated to the dty cotmcil in 1995 to finish out deceased coimcil member Tim Popes term then did not seek reelection Hes also a founder of the Novl KlWanls Club and served on the Task Force for Excellence In Education ta the 1980s

Clark said he has learned the biggest problem dty goVemment has is its Inability to communicate With the dUzcns

Residents feel ahnost eveiy year they have to engage in a peUdon drive to get a ballot placed on an election to get their government to -listen to them he said

He aald several of the Issues fac-tog residents ta Novl today are the

result of the lack of communication betWeen the city and resldentsTo fix some of this Clark said he Would make sure citizens quesshytions are answered

As mayor he said he Woi1Id 1i1ake himself- avaUable to the pubhc eveiy Saturday Which Would give Worktag people a chance to speak with him Furthermore Clark said he Would do aWay With the three mtaute speaktag mle for residents dtuing the councils audience par-tldpatlon If a resident asks a question diulng a meettag Clark said he Would require that the tadl-Vldual recdves an ansWer in Writ-ing Wlthta 72 hours A copy of this letter Would then be sent by the dty adtnlnlstratlon to the city cotmcil and mayor so they knoW the matter has been addressed

That Way We have the capablll-ty to see that residents are betag heard and kept Informed and are given the Impression this admlnls-tration does care and Will listen Clark said

As for the Issues Clark said there are three toajor ones that need proper attention Tlie first is the $33 million laWsuit awarded to Sandstone Assodates Clark said he believes Judge Barry Howard made a 1nistake and he hopes it Will be overturned on appejj

But Clark said the real question

ta the dilemma is determintag Who Would be left to pay the bill should the case not be overturned Clark said this Was espedally important stace the citys insurance carriers have lUed a laWsuit contesttag coV-erage

Many residents could end up having to pick up the entire bill for this he said Whoever the next mayor is bull If that judgment is reversed they are gotag to find themselves ta a difflcidt spot of having to go to the taxpayers and say Tou have to pay for this

But the Sandstone lawrsult Was not the only one to strike Novl recently Clark said it seems the dty Is settltag a niunber of cases This he said shows that the dtys departments need to change the Way they deal With residents and contmerdal devdopcrs

He said his next big concern is the Novl Ice Arena Clark said he supported the concept but he added on reflection it probably Would have xea more pmdent to bring it to Voters If any project has this much Impact on the Voter Clark said It should be brought to them to decide

Clark said it Was apparent the arejia needed neW miiagement This neW management should have overall authority to the run it

(It needs) strong management Uiat Will take taput from Commushynity Clubs but Will have overall responsibility and fl11al say Clark said

Continued from I for so long was the search for land

This search was ended when tfle building company Holtzman-Sil-verman donated a large piece of land near the intersection of Meadshyowbrook Road and Grand River Avenue for the project The land is esUmated to be worth $1000000

Construction is slated to begin within tJie nevt 45 to 60 days Kriewall said the complex should be finished in about 2 years

He added portions of the project may be ready by next summer

The project is being paid for by a S 15300000 bond This bond enables the Building Authority to get the same interest rate as the city which further keeps rents down

Kriewall added thanks to the donation of land by Hoitzman-Sil-verman the Building Authority was able to further keep rents low

The lowest rent at the complex is just over $600 a month Kriewall said However some of the ranch units are a little inore pricey and will cost around SlOOO a month

plaints about speeders in the neighborhoods surrounding Center Street so weve spent more time in those particular ai-eas said Jim Petres chief of Northville police

Petres said more tickets were written in the neighborhoods than would have been if the construcshytion was going on

Additionally Petres said his department will continue to monishy

tor couslnietloii zones for speeders iiid reckless dnvcrs induding the intefsectioii of Taft Road and Eight Mile Road which is lo be rcpaved in late summer and fall

But while the construction has led to increases in traffic stops and monitoring in soine areas il has decreased stops in others

For example Lieutenant John Sherman of lhe Northville Townshyship police department said the increased traffic level on Haggerty Road created by drivers trying to bvTiass 1-275 prohibits township police from nialcing as many stops as they can

We do everything we can to stop cars whenever we see violations

Sherman said BiW we have to use a coniinon sense approach Were nol going to do a U-turn in heavy traffic if were driving south and see a violation In traffic going the other way

Addllionally Sherman said there has been an increase in the numshyber of accidents near Haggerty Road

There hasnt been an increase in the number of police units patrolling the area though

Were quite confident the way weve always patrolled works quite wellSherman said

H Y P E R T E N S I O N A N D A G E Hypertension is the nations most common bullchronic health

problem More than SO million adults in the US in 1995 approximately 30 of the population had high blood pressure The guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of hypertension were revised in 1997 which means that some people who were told they had nonnal blood pressure at that time may be classified as having hypertension now

Blood pressure is the force placed on arteiy walls as blood flows through them Hypertension is persistent elevation of systemic arterial blood pressure Older adults due to age-associated increase in systolic blood pressure have higher rates of the disease Usually there are no symptoms until persistent high blood pressure alfects blood supply to major organs leading to organ dainage This is why hypertension is called the Silent Killei

Detection and proper treatment of hypertension are essential for redudng and preventing stioke heart disease and kidney failure Measures such as controlling diabetes weight reductionexercise and low-salt diet are known to lower blood pressure Medications are widely available and selectively chosen depending on other existing medical condiHons Older persons usually have a better response to treatment than younger age groups

City weikinds consultants vvill determine if the land in question meets the criteria

If one of these are found in the wetland the developer is proposing to impact the ordinance does pershymit an appeal The appeal is made to the Novi Planning Commission which may reverse or afiirm the citys iindings

Lorenzo a major force behind this ordinance change said she is happy with the ordinance overall because it lies up some loss ends

in Ihe old ordinance liiider Ihe old ordinance the

planning coniniission wis not required lo mike a developer iniii-gale impacts lo a wetland less than two acres even if the wetland was deemed essential by the ten criteshyria However il was the commisshysions unwritten policy to require the mitigation

This caused problems when Coinmission Kim Thomas Capello went against this unvvTilten policy and pushed for a mitigation wavier for a developer last fall

This new wetlands ordinance is

not a reneclioii on Capellos aclioils ll predates this coiilrovi-r-sy by almost a year

lorenzo added she will be wiicli-ing the planning eonimission verv closely to make sure they are folshylowing this new ordiIiaiice

Louis Csordas chair of the iilaIi-ning commission said he thinks this ordinance is a little extreme

If this ordinance was in place 25 years ago Novi would not exist as it is now he said

H Y P E R T E N S I O N A N D A G E Hypertension is the nations most common bullchronic health

problem More than SO million adults in the US in 1995 approximately 30 of the population had high blood pressure The guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of hypertension were revised in 1997 which means that some people who were told they had nonnal blood pressure at that time may be classified as having hypertension now

Blood pressure is the force placed on arteiy walls as blood flows through them Hypertension is persistent elevation of systemic arterial blood pressure Older adults due to age-associated increase in systolic blood pressure have higher rates of the disease Usually there are no symptoms until persistent high blood pressure alfects blood supply to major organs leading to organ dainage This is why hypertension is called the Silent Killei

Detection and proper treatment of hypertension are essential for redudng and preventing stioke heart disease and kidney failure Measures such as controlling diabetes weight reductionexercise and low-salt diet are known to lower blood pressure Medications are widely available and selectively chosen depending on other existing medical condiHons Older persons usually have a better response to treatment than younger age groups

In the last lew years 1 scr-cd as ediior of The ori Nfws I bcijan to noiice a clistiirDinigt trend mdash Wf were wrjiinlti stories ivIlh iricreising Irecjuency about fund raisins events for people u i l h terniinal illncsscs How sad I ihouiiht When

I health insulance is so common j 4 t some Iblks sijl] have to fio out

mdash mdash 5 H H i]^ stlinlp lo get the cash they need to keep Ironl dyinlaquo I was even more disturbed when I began to realize that in most of these cases the patients actushyally had health insurance

There were two typical causes for this need to raise money One was to cover lneidental expenses For evarn-ple a palieni mi^ht be flnnsi lo a clinic out of slate and air fare and liotel rooms for relatives caused the addition cost burden Fair enough Insurance cant be evpected io cover such costs

The second common cause really bothered me The docshytor determined ihe palieni needed a drug not yet approved by the Federal DaI i i Administration and there-lore still considered eperlinental InsuraIice companies most oiien woni pay for experimental dniraquos WTiile modshyern science is spinning oul new treatments for all manner of ailnlents al a truly da-lini rate the FDA still requires the nlosi arduous testing of new dnlgs to be found anyshywhere in Ihe world

Typiealiy by the tinle pharmaceutical companies reach the point of submitting a protocol the outline of the lInal study to the FD- drug manufacturers have done quite a oil of prelinlinafT testing Doctors keep an eye on such research and it is not unusual for ibem to conclude that some new wonder drug Is the last best hope for their pjitieni The patient can gel the drug by participating in

lhe study but insurance companies usually wont pick up the lab

Somehow that seems ahnost crinlina to me that a patient for whom insurance premiums have been paid and who needs a drug developed io the point iis is being given to humans should have to lace bankruptcy mdash or resort to fund raisers mdash to pay for it

I was exlremelv disappoinied when Congress recently turned dovn a proposal to require health maintenance organizations to pay for experimental drugs It was one of a number of H M O reforms rejected by federal lau-nlakers -Mso on the list were proposals lo allow doctors to make Ihe final call on what treatments a patient needs rather than the H M O and eliminating HMOs immunity froni lawsuits

Ive never understood why HMOs should not have legal liability for Lheir actions Now that Collgress has dropped the ball its time for the second siring to take the fleltj If any nMO reforms are likely to be enacted it will be the stale Legislature that does the job

When Congress rejected President Clintons national health care plan several years back i l was the state legshyislatures look over According to the National Conference of State Legislatures state lawmakers across the country proposed some 26000 health care reform bills and iLU-ned 3400 of them inlo law Much of the national plan was adopted in many states

Dennis Denno spokesman for the Michigan Democrats is mad about Congress most recent failure toact and pointing the finger directly at Republican Senator Spencer Abraham for his no vole on the bills S ia le Senator Shirley Johnson R-Royal Oak said she believes the final call ori a patients treatment should be the doctors not the HMOs

Ils just one more instance in which the state is left to do a job the feds should have taken care of

Perhaps its Ume we stopped looking through these rose-colshyored glasses o f a great econoshymy and realized the sadness of reality Reality Is something We t i y not to look at somethhig We push aside and pretend it doesshynt exist Reality Is the single mother work ing three jobs to nlalte ends meet reality is the 52-year-old man desperately lookshying for work after being downshysized from a company after 20 years of service reality is the

true nature of big corporations that think of only the botshytom line as they put hundreds out of workReallty isnt pretty and recendy I had my eyes forcefully opened lo It

It came suddenly It came from a simple phone call from my wife J u l y 20 informing me she had been downshysized from her White-collar job at Ernst and Young LLP Without Warning Oils corporation told 600 falthftd employees around the count iy they Were no longer employed Sbc himdred employees many who worked 70 to 80 hours a Week for the company many who had to travel for Weeks at a time away from their families many who gave their lives to Erns t and Young discovered they were no longer employed

You probably didnt hear about this mass layoff Media ouUets were too concerned about the deaths of celebrl-flesTo me its islckening the way some corporations classhysify important things

When i t comes down to the bottom line some corporashyt ion think Very lltde of its employees These employee to the corporaUon are the most expendable part of the bus i shyness

The high salaries of the C E O the personal expense accounts of upper management even the greatrtastiilg pastries i n the board room are less expendable than employees in todays thinking

It seems more and more We are hearing stories of corshyporations that quickly fire hundreds o f people without

looking at other cosl-cutUng measures first Or worse after a massive lay-off of staff partners C E O s and other execudves wi th over-Inflated salaries get nice bonuses or raises What these ax-wlelding executives dont see are the hardships they place on faimllies the depression and pain they cause

i

They do not see the families they break up the heal th problems they start the cycle of poverty they create l ( they do they simply blame others never themselves a n d claim its jus t good busfrlesspracdces

In my eyes these execuUves and corporations are verj^ m u c h to blame If someone they have downsized goes into depression takes a gun puts it to their head the corpdj ration must realize they helped pull the trigger Wha^ does this mean to Novi Eiverythlng Novi is primarily d whlte-(ollar community White-collar cuts such as thej latest should help open the communitys eyes to the fact n o j o b i s s a f e

If your corporation thinks its time to look at the bottom line you m a y be nex t Remember its nothing personal jus t business As for corporations that cut employees before batting an eye i f It happens i n m y community be ready to answer a lot of questions from me mdash the reporter

F rom here on out 1 wi l l question the actions of corpo rations that lay ofi^ without thought of the consequeilcesT

I a m not trying to p ick a fight with corporations llkcl E rns t and Young 1 am jus t looking a little closer a t actions made for the benefit of corporate profit I urge every one of u s to do this Instead of looking a t how h i ^ yotlr stock portfolio Is right now consider what human sacrifices might have to be made to get this profit The i f ask Is this worth It

Thkd partys becoming successful A national political convention look plice in Michigan over the weekend No it wasnt the Republicans crowning George W Bush as their presidential nominee Nor was it the Democrats nbrating (slowly) to the electric personali-UesofAl Gore and Bill Bradley It was the Reform Party In con-venlion duly assem-

bled at the Hyatt Regenc i n Dearborn Now before you either snigger or condenln the

Reform Party to the overcrowded graveyard of American third parties consider this

bull What political partys platform called for and J achieved the most substantive political reform i In the last 10 years The Reform Partys plank on term limits

bull What third party rose vtrtually overnight to full-blown national exposure over just two pres-

idential elections The Reform Party led by bil-i lionaire Ross Perot bull bull WT1at po1itical party attracted 336000 Michigan votes for its presidentlai candidate in - the 1996 election The Reform Party Wid1 Ross Perot its candidate for president For folks in Michigan the I^eform Party ought I to have a lot of appeal as an alternative to either of the mainstream parties I To the left are the Deniocrats dominated in general by orgar1ized labor aild in particular by the United Auto Workers and its president

Steve- Yokicll and his chief of slalf Paul Mas-saron

The scope of doinination was laid out tor all to see last week when Frank Garrison the longshytime head of the Michigan State AFL-CIO and one of the few independent thinkers In the parly hierarchy announced his retirenicnt The feud between Garrison and Yokich-Massaron has been an ill-kept secret for years We now know who has the votes

Also powerful in the Michigan Democratic Party are Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer and the various political factions in Detroit as well as Wayne County Eecutive Ed McNamara Excepting followers of McNamara a practical politician of the old school and a centrist theres not much room al the Democratic inn for moderates Mllliken Democrat suburbanites or business and professional people

On the right are the Republicans now domishynated by Gov John Engler a colossus whose reign has obscured the 1cious split between relshyatively practical Main Street Republicans and the rabidly rigid social conservatives

Dont kid yourselves Al l may be sweetness and light on the siirface Republicans regardshyless of ilk are panting to recapture the White House and George W seems the most likely guy to do it But underneath the politics of compasshysionate expediency lurk a bunch of savage ideoshylogues whose past track record demonstrates spectacular efficiency in driving away most moderate folks

So a party that Includes this on its platform mdash We shal1 seek to reform our electoral lobbyshying and campaign practices to ensure that our elected government officials and our candidates owe their allegiance and remain accountable to the people whom they are elected to serve rather

lhan other irlhieiice-sceking agencies mdash should be very allf-actlve lo n lol of iniddle-ol-Ihf-road Michigan voters

Of course lhe Reform lirly arose as lhe roni-poiind of widespread voter fruslf-alion with bolh nilt-1Jor parties generously greased with Mr Perots money and ego I doubt any other person in America could have created a parly that got itself on the ballot in most states literally from scratch

Over the weekend the Reform Party had lo address in convention its own personality strugshygle for leadership between Perot and Minnesota governor and former professional wrestler Jesse Ventura Now that the issue has been ahem pinned down the reformers will have to go fonvard under the cloud that a vote for the Reform Party is like a vote for none of the above in the words of Bill Ballenger editor of Inside Michigan Politics

Its all very sad Since the election last year many many people have told me they feel they have no home in either major political part The prospects for either Democrats or Republishycans reaching out to ordinary middle of the road people seein slim And the Reform Party has limited itself to offering us a billionaire with short mans disease and a TV entertainer

Winston Churchill was right Democracy is the worst system of government except when compared to any other

Does It strike anyone else as totally illogical that We are striving to protect these high quality Wetshylands on the east side of the propshyerty While directly discharging storm Water Into the lake At what point are We the city going to recshyognize the lake as a lake and proshytect it Will We always be address-ing i t as a regional detention basin unless its time for property taxes and assessments

The incredible amount of damage to both ShaWpod and Walled Lake by developments ta the past five to seven years from the large projects mdash Maples of Novl Wexford ToWil Homes and SandstoneVistas mdash has been documented on many occasions HoW many times do We have to come to you complaining because the outlets (Morgan Creek Shawood Canal Into U1e lake) are runntag chocolate from the mud and slltation after a storm J C K Is no help The samples they take have a habit of getttag lost or mis-placed

I guess its Ume we put It on die line either Were lakes and will expect you to fully protect us as such or Were detention basins and will expect our taxes to be loW-ered accordln^y Period

Trash b i n s r a i s e

r e s i d e n t s c o n c e r n

To the editor We have been Involved In the

development of Childrens World since Its Inception We attended meetings With Ms Lemke and the devdoper concemtag Walls berms and plantings The residents did not oppose this devdopment Some residents attended the public hearshyings while others watched on teleshyvision We reviewed all the minutes from the pla11ning commission meetings concemtag this project A l l the d t y consultants recomshymended approval of the site plan to the plan11ing commission The planning commission approved the spedal land use and the site plans for the devdopment based on those recommendations

However about a month ago as the project Was being buUt We realshyized that the schools trash bin Was being placed iapproxlmatdy 45 feet frorh our property line We looked at the site plan and saw that the trash bin Was not identified on the

plan This Was never discussed in any of our resident meetings nor Was it addressed at the planning commission hearings by either the consultants or the planning comshymission We had expected that the city Would ensure that there would be no adverse Impacts on the adjoining residential properties as is required in the special land use ordinances but a mistake Was made that we would like rectified

We are feeUng a great sense of urgency in this matter as Chilshydrens World is working quickly in order to receive their certificate of Occupancy The setback of the trash bin may meet city ordishynances but this location is unacshyceptable as i t clearly violates two pU1er city ordliiances

bull City orfilnancfj 2519|3)requlres that offensive noxious or foul odors shall not be allowed to escape into the atmosphere i n conshycentrations that are offensive (or) that produce a public nuisance

bull City ordinance 2516(2b) requires that the plarmlng com-mlsslonshall consider the followshying factors in exerdslng its discreshytion over site plan approval Whether the location of activities on the site including the arrangement of buildings is such that ac1i-lties may create noise odor or other nuisances that Wo111d be a detrishyment to existing or fijture uses of abutting lands

Consider what Will be placed in this trash bin dirty diapers empty milk cartons leftover food scraps There M be odor eveiy time the trash lid Is opened (or Inadvertentshyly left open) 45 feet away from resshyidents property You may recall that Meadowbrook Lake residents Went to court and recdved a favor-able Judgment regarding the adverse impact that Interlock Would have on thefr neighborhood This situation Is veiy similar as It negatively affects existing residenshytial property Many day cares In the area have located thefr trash bins i n such a way that no residences are affected A list follows

We the residents believe that this situation can be handled very simply The city made a mis-take The planntag commission approved the location of the trash next to our homes therefore the d t y should be responsible for rdocattog the trash on the propshyerty b1 our discussions the plan-ntag department and the city consultants have identified at least three alternative locations wh ich are more suitable and agreeable to the residents Chi l shydrens World has been contacted regardtag the t iashs location and the residents dissatisfaction with this location Childrens World seems amenaible to havtag the trash moved but not at ti1efr expense Time is of the essence as Childrens World Is afrning for an August opentag

We are asking you the city council to take responsibility and rectify this situation We would request Ulat the d t y coun(dl be proactive ta worktog out a solushytion before an ordinarice violation can occur The plamitag departshyment certainly has a budget from wh ich ftmds could be allocated to bull correct this mlstake The city cotmcil could approve any varishyance required Childrens Worid Would not have to delay thefr opentag and tihe residents would be treated with the dignity and respect they deserve This is more than a legal issue it is an ethical one Please d o the right tiitagmdash move the trash

The philosophical antj physical Journey of this master is coming to Novi

Master Yong S Kil whos hoping to share his secrets in Eastern martial arts with Novi residents is bringing Kils Tae Kwan Do Fitness Center to Meadowbrook Road and Ten Mile Road in an anticipated Aug 1 opening

Tae kwan do is a 20OO year-old discipline of hand and foot self-defense It has evolved over time and is considered one of the most highly recognizable systems of martial arts

It is very exciting for me to be able to serve in Novi Kil said

Phoio by JOHN HEiDER Engineer Marian Szczepanski talces a moment to talk about ailother passion of his gardening at his Northville Twp home

R e s i d e n t s w o r k d r i v e n b y

e x p e r i e n c e s i n w a r - t o r n e r a

BY ANDREW DlETDERICH Staff Writer

A man can collect Iilany lhings in 78 years but its what he holds on to that may be the most telling

Take Marian Szczepanski for instance the Northrille resident who has spent the last four years in Poland campaigning against whal he said is an attenlpl by Germans to slowly lake over Poland

Among the things hes collected is an old photocopy of a Nazi con-ceiltralion camp officer about to be hanged for war crimes commitshyted at Auschwitz

Bui perhaps the most imporshytant things he holds on to are his memories

Memories of his times in Poland before his mother woke him up one day screaming that the Gestapo had come

Memories of his days at Auschwitz where he had to wake up next to two corpses one day

Memories of his times the Gershyman guard told him if he ever Went against the Germans he Would go through the chimney of a crematorium

Memories of the times he went against the Germans in the Warshysaw Uprising

Memories from the past four years in Poland during Which time he said hes discovered his country behlg slowly taken over by Germans once more

TlJls time they arent using boilibs and tanks but marks Szczepanski said

He Went to Poland originally in 1994 to pay homage to the 50th anniversary of the WarsaW uprisshying Which he took part in after being saved from Auschwitz

He quickly became disturbed though When he learned of What Was happening to Poland

The Germans are using devishyous methods to buy land in Poland he said

Szcepanskis return to Polanti Was separated by years ofliing In Northville He came to the area In the early 1960s after earning three degrees from the University of London in metallurgy and mechanical engineering

He started his own business International Diamond Tool Co in 1962 and wrote the book The Brittleness of Steel in 1963

He lost his ttlfe of 24 years to cancer in 1975

Hes been to 36 countries and 47 states visiting and given lecshytures on both his War experiences and Ills Work

Since his Wife clied he said notlring has moved him as much as learning What was happening

in Poland Szczepanski said Germans will

invest in Poland by purchasing land from farmers and subseshyquently build a factory on the land the Polish farmer retains 51 percent ownership in the land and building while the Germans own the remaining 49 percent

Because the Polish farmer owns the majority little regulation is imposed by Polands government

The farmer then sells his ownshyership in the company for a stupid sum of 1000 marks (S500 US) he said

Szczepanski said the Germans have had an intershyest for thousands of years In epanding into Poland under drang nach orten or conquest and expansion to the east

When their efforts failed with muscle in World War II he said they turned to other methods namely the latest method of building factories

For the last four years he went from TV shoW to radio station to neWspa-per speaking against the activity

He even asked the current president of Poland how he could let that kind of activity take place

The president told hlra he diiint see any danger in the pracshytice

I told him then that I thought he Was stupid and incompetent he said

What shocked Szczepansld even more than those deals being made between the Germans and Pols and the presidents reaction Was the fact he Was in a minority opposed to such practices

He saiti from the time he startshyed his campaign to the time he left the number of those opposed lo the German deals increased slightly but Was still the minorishyty-

Frustration forced him to head back to Ills home in Northville

I never thought that to fight against domination I Would have to Oght the majority of the PoUsh nation Szczepanski said

And after all these years he said theres no place hed rather be

From nly experience and my convictions I truly believe there is no better place than the United States he said Its the best sysshytem ever deVised

After months of disaisstpn on the project consensus was reached by the majority on the resolutions with Uirtteddiscussians

from the Novi Navs July 271995

By CHRIS C DAVIS SiaflWrlter

Hardly anyone WouM dispute the Idea that cor1structlon a doWntoWn When a city has already odsted for nearly 30 years ls a bltnoveL

And thou^ Novi dty leaders alid developshyers are today stumbling over each other tryshying to get their hands on property along Novls Maiii and Market streets downtown Novi took on an entirely dlfTcrent meaning uptintil1995 When the NoVl c i ^ coundl began inking the deals to create a new downtown

One person who knows a fair amount-about the lookof old Wovl is Barbara Louie -bull local historian and occasional columnist for the NoatJfewsjaoii HorttwOle Record

Graiid Rver Was a vcjy early tralli1 this part of Mldilgan that became a Very early

road Louie said And Nov Road Was originally NorthVllle Road

because it originated ln the Village of Northville

Louie said the practice of naming roads after the point of origination Was a fairly

common practice in early America Grand RlVer AVenue wound its

Way along the general course of the Grand River all the Way out to Grand Rapids she said

Novi Was Just a little famllng community back In the early 1800s Louie said Up tmtll the mid-1970s the central part of NbVi Was that Grand River-NoVI Road intersecshyt ion

Times have changed NoVl public informashytion ofilcer Lou Martin said Monday the dtys population is noW hoVering at around 45000 and that the dty has now turned the comer into being an upscale retaU shopshyping destination for a good portion of the Wayne-Macomb-Oaldand county area

Though much of the earilcst daysof downtown NoVl remains shrouded In mys-toy historians have unearthisd a few facts about the areas early founders The greater Grand River AVenue-NoVl Road area Was first settled in 1830 by John Elmore and later by Apollos CudWorth and-BenJamin Brown Together the families eventually established What became Novi Township r- The Four Corners bullWere also supposedly occupied by a blacksmith-preacher Whose Wife Vivian Would alWays ask permission from her husband to go out on the town

Sangy as he Was the man Would constantly be forced to tell his Wife No Vl This became one in a string of unsubstantiated legends as to how NoVI got its unusual name

The name Issue is probably one of the best stories about the city Louie said No one really knoWs how NoVi got its name but anyone Who could come up With documentshyed evidence aboiit hoW It did Would solve a great mystery

Louie said she personally believed the communitys name probably evolved out of something Involving the Roman numerals for the number six VI but wasnt sure In what capadty

Regardless of name history Louie said What ^ras certain is that the on^tnal doWn-town Novi became home to one of the oldest hotels in Oakland Coimty before It Was torn down In the early 20th century to make Way for a gasoline station The area also conshytained the Novi Inn mdash now Rookies amp Legshyends sports memorabilia shop mdash asWell as ageneral store and a tavern

Through the years and upunlil the time when NoVl dty leailers moved municipal oQices to their present location along Ten Mile near Taft Road the Image held by many Was that NoVi was Grand RiVer AVenue and Novi Road

lhat was the original downtown Louie said A lot of people 1 know still call It the Foiir ComersIt was the center of town for more than 100 years You can tell someone bullWhos lived in the area a long time if they use thctenn Four Comers Main Street Nov then in the early 1900s (top) and now

Tim Van Wagoner

By CHRIS C DAVIS Staff Wriier

It seems the mosl unlikely combination

A basketball-playing buddy and loyal sidekick

woman who raises a boy after the death of his parents

A girl wi lh an electrifyshying per-sonalitv

A c i v i l W ar hero

Yet for-m e r Northville resident now Mi l -w a u k e e Brewers p r o m o shyt i o n s d i rec tor Tim Van Wagoner has managed to intershylace these and other characters successfully Into his first novel In The Long Run

Its a story that flipflops between reality and hallucination as main character Josh Chamshyberlain runs in his first marathon Josh experiences what many real-life runners know about getting into The Zone

Van Wagoner said the idea for the book came about as he began training for his first marathon in Washington DC in October of 1995 He said w-Titing a book was always something he had considshyered but had never taken up seriously until he began racldng up the miles in preparation for the 262 mile test of Will

Van Wagoner finished writing In The Long Run in 1996

All the colors and the exciteshyment of the event blended together When 1 Was out there Van Wagoner said I thougllt it might be a gooii idea to establish a mental outline of the book before I got out there

The book is a sort of stream-of-consciousness writing that togshy

gles between Joshs delusions while he pounds the pavement and the sudden snaps back into reality as his body is tested and tortured by the fnarathon Van Wagoner said the odd chapters speak to llle reader in a present tense while lhe fantasy characshyters make their appearances in the even-numbered chapters

The zone-out allowed Josh the protagonist to get back into the book which is what I was shooting for he said

The hallucinations and flashshybacks experienced by Josh are similar to the sorts of daydreams Van Wafjoner said he encounshytered

I found that if you could put yourself into a runners zone it was a lot easier lo click off the miles he said I dont know that I ever had a lifelong goal to do something like this Il just sort of erolveci over time

Van Wagoner said each one of the characters in the book is based on people hes known and events hes experienced in his own life Including the setting for Joshs training leading up to the event mdash Frankfort a small Lake Michigan community West of Trashyverse City

He said friends and family who have read the book have been able to readily connect characshyters in ttle novel with the people they were modeled after

Van Wagoner said that in real life he put himself in the Runshyners Zone very often While he Was training but avoided doing in when he Was running in the marathon itself in the hopes he could be pulled along by the energy of other runners in the race

You slap yourself back into reality for one of those things Van Wagoner said Its easy to get caugtlt up in a (iaydream and lose your focus

Not only Was In The Long Run Van Wagoners first attempt at publishing the DC marathon Was his first major competition since leaving Michigan StatevUitf-

The cover of former Northville resident Tim Van Wagoners novel In The Long Run Its available at Plymouth bookstores and on Internet sites

versity He said the only other thing hed really Written in his life Were eighth grade book reports

Id always thought running Was just something I could do to stay in shape he said Running in that marathon Was one of my greatest athletic achievements ever What I learned was that so much of Writing is in the obsershyvation of things

Van Wagoner said the writing book permitted him to explore Civil War histoly basketball and of course long-distance running mdash three areas of personal intershyest to him

- Van Wagoner said hes been-pu t xd tlieNjarthViUe area-Jp^^^^

about two years now but said that most of In The Long Run Was conceived While pounding the roads in Northville ToWnship and was mostly written in his Harbour Village apartment

And though Van Wagoner now Works for the Brewers he said his IlQiirt is still in Detroit Tigers baseball

Maybe theyll turn the corner once they get into that neW ballshypark he joked

fn The Long Run is currently on sale at Little Professor Book Store in Plymouth and will soon be offered at amazoncom It can also be ordered by calling (800] 889-0344 bdquo - bdquo - - _ _

Phoio by JOHN HEiDER Engineer Marian Szczepanski talces a moment to talk about ailother passion of his gardening at his Northville Twp home

R e s i d e n t s w o r k d r i v e n b y

e x p e r i e n c e s i n w a r - t o r n e r a

BY ANDREW DlETDERICH Staff Writer

A man can collect Iilany lhings in 78 years but its what he holds on to that may be the most telling

Take Marian Szczepanski for instance the Northrille resident who has spent the last four years in Poland campaigning against whal he said is an attenlpl by Germans to slowly lake over Poland

Among the things hes collected is an old photocopy of a Nazi con-ceiltralion camp officer about to be hanged for war crimes commitshyted at Auschwitz

Bui perhaps the most imporshytant things he holds on to are his memories

Memories of his times in Poland before his mother woke him up one day screaming that the Gestapo had come

Memories of his days at Auschwitz where he had to wake up next to two corpses one day

Memories of his times the Gershyman guard told him if he ever Went against the Germans he Would go through the chimney of a crematorium

Memories of the times he went against the Germans in the Warshysaw Uprising

Memories from the past four years in Poland during Which time he said hes discovered his country behlg slowly taken over by Germans once more

TlJls time they arent using boilibs and tanks but marks Szczepanski said

He Went to Poland originally in 1994 to pay homage to the 50th anniversary of the WarsaW uprisshying Which he took part in after being saved from Auschwitz

He quickly became disturbed though When he learned of What Was happening to Poland

The Germans are using devishyous methods to buy land in Poland he said

Szcepanskis return to Polanti Was separated by years ofliing In Northville He came to the area In the early 1960s after earning three degrees from the University of London in metallurgy and mechanical engineering

He started his own business International Diamond Tool Co in 1962 and wrote the book The Brittleness of Steel in 1963

He lost his ttlfe of 24 years to cancer in 1975

Hes been to 36 countries and 47 states visiting and given lecshytures on both his War experiences and Ills Work

Since his Wife clied he said notlring has moved him as much as learning What was happening

in Poland Szczepanski said Germans will

invest in Poland by purchasing land from farmers and subseshyquently build a factory on the land the Polish farmer retains 51 percent ownership in the land and building while the Germans own the remaining 49 percent

Because the Polish farmer owns the majority little regulation is imposed by Polands government

The farmer then sells his ownshyership in the company for a stupid sum of 1000 marks (S500 US) he said

Szczepanski said the Germans have had an intershyest for thousands of years In epanding into Poland under drang nach orten or conquest and expansion to the east

When their efforts failed with muscle in World War II he said they turned to other methods namely the latest method of building factories

For the last four years he went from TV shoW to radio station to neWspa-per speaking against the activity

He even asked the current president of Poland how he could let that kind of activity take place

The president told hlra he diiint see any danger in the pracshytice

I told him then that I thought he Was stupid and incompetent he said

What shocked Szczepansld even more than those deals being made between the Germans and Pols and the presidents reaction Was the fact he Was in a minority opposed to such practices

He saiti from the time he startshyed his campaign to the time he left the number of those opposed lo the German deals increased slightly but Was still the minorishyty-

Frustration forced him to head back to Ills home in Northville

I never thought that to fight against domination I Would have to Oght the majority of the PoUsh nation Szczepanski said

And after all these years he said theres no place hed rather be

From nly experience and my convictions I truly believe there is no better place than the United States he said Its the best sysshytem ever deVised

The Noui City Council signed ojfona series of contracts needed to make the $50 miSion project at Grand River Averme ard Novi Road a reality Construcshytion on the street itself is expected to begfrt solnetime this year

After months of disaisstpn on the project consensus was reached by the majority on the resolutions with Uirtteddiscussians

from the Novi Navs July 271995

By CHRIS C DAVIS SiaflWrlter

Hardly anyone WouM dispute the Idea that cor1structlon a doWntoWn When a city has already odsted for nearly 30 years ls a bltnoveL

And thou^ Novi dty leaders alid developshyers are today stumbling over each other tryshying to get their hands on property along Novls Maiii and Market streets downtown Novi took on an entirely dlfTcrent meaning uptintil1995 When the NoVl c i ^ coundl began inking the deals to create a new downtown

One person who knows a fair amount-about the lookof old Wovl is Barbara Louie -bull local historian and occasional columnist for the NoatJfewsjaoii HorttwOle Record

Graiid Rver Was a vcjy early tralli1 this part of Mldilgan that became a Very early

road Louie said And Nov Road Was originally NorthVllle Road

because it originated ln the Village of Northville

Louie said the practice of naming roads after the point of origination Was a fairly

common practice in early America Grand RlVer AVenue wound its

Way along the general course of the Grand River all the Way out to Grand Rapids she said

Novi Was Just a little famllng community back In the early 1800s Louie said Up tmtll the mid-1970s the central part of NbVi Was that Grand River-NoVI Road intersecshyt ion

Times have changed NoVl public informashytion ofilcer Lou Martin said Monday the dtys population is noW hoVering at around 45000 and that the dty has now turned the comer into being an upscale retaU shopshyping destination for a good portion of the Wayne-Macomb-Oaldand county area

Though much of the earilcst daysof downtown NoVl remains shrouded In mys-toy historians have unearthisd a few facts about the areas early founders The greater Grand River AVenue-NoVl Road area Was first settled in 1830 by John Elmore and later by Apollos CudWorth and-BenJamin Brown Together the families eventually established What became Novi Township r- The Four Corners bullWere also supposedly occupied by a blacksmith-preacher Whose Wife Vivian Would alWays ask permission from her husband to go out on the town

Sangy as he Was the man Would constantly be forced to tell his Wife No Vl This became one in a string of unsubstantiated legends as to how NoVI got its unusual name

The name Issue is probably one of the best stories about the city Louie said No one really knoWs how NoVi got its name but anyone Who could come up With documentshyed evidence aboiit hoW It did Would solve a great mystery

Louie said she personally believed the communitys name probably evolved out of something Involving the Roman numerals for the number six VI but wasnt sure In what capadty

Regardless of name history Louie said What ^ras certain is that the on^tnal doWn-town Novi became home to one of the oldest hotels in Oakland Coimty before It Was torn down In the early 20th century to make Way for a gasoline station The area also conshytained the Novi Inn mdash now Rookies amp Legshyends sports memorabilia shop mdash asWell as ageneral store and a tavern

Through the years and upunlil the time when NoVl dty leailers moved municipal oQices to their present location along Ten Mile near Taft Road the Image held by many Was that NoVi was Grand RiVer AVenue and Novi Road

lhat was the original downtown Louie said A lot of people 1 know still call It the Foiir ComersIt was the center of town for more than 100 years You can tell someone bullWhos lived in the area a long time if they use thctenn Four Comers Main Street Nov then in the early 1900s (top) and now

Tim Van Wagoner

By CHRIS C DAVIS Staff Wriier

It seems the mosl unlikely combination

A basketball-playing buddy and loyal sidekick

woman who raises a boy after the death of his parents

A girl wi lh an electrifyshying per-sonalitv

A c i v i l W ar hero

Yet for-m e r Northville resident now Mi l -w a u k e e Brewers p r o m o shyt i o n s d i rec tor Tim Van Wagoner has managed to intershylace these and other characters successfully Into his first novel In The Long Run

Its a story that flipflops between reality and hallucination as main character Josh Chamshyberlain runs in his first marathon Josh experiences what many real-life runners know about getting into The Zone

Van Wagoner said the idea for the book came about as he began training for his first marathon in Washington DC in October of 1995 He said w-Titing a book was always something he had considshyered but had never taken up seriously until he began racldng up the miles in preparation for the 262 mile test of Will

Van Wagoner finished writing In The Long Run in 1996

All the colors and the exciteshyment of the event blended together When 1 Was out there Van Wagoner said I thougllt it might be a gooii idea to establish a mental outline of the book before I got out there

The book is a sort of stream-of-consciousness writing that togshy

gles between Joshs delusions while he pounds the pavement and the sudden snaps back into reality as his body is tested and tortured by the fnarathon Van Wagoner said the odd chapters speak to llle reader in a present tense while lhe fantasy characshyters make their appearances in the even-numbered chapters

The zone-out allowed Josh the protagonist to get back into the book which is what I was shooting for he said

The hallucinations and flashshybacks experienced by Josh are similar to the sorts of daydreams Van Wafjoner said he encounshytered

I found that if you could put yourself into a runners zone it was a lot easier lo click off the miles he said I dont know that I ever had a lifelong goal to do something like this Il just sort of erolveci over time

Van Wagoner said each one of the characters in the book is based on people hes known and events hes experienced in his own life Including the setting for Joshs training leading up to the event mdash Frankfort a small Lake Michigan community West of Trashyverse City

He said friends and family who have read the book have been able to readily connect characshyters in ttle novel with the people they were modeled after

Van Wagoner said that in real life he put himself in the Runshyners Zone very often While he Was training but avoided doing in when he Was running in the marathon itself in the hopes he could be pulled along by the energy of other runners in the race

You slap yourself back into reality for one of those things Van Wagoner said Its easy to get caugtlt up in a (iaydream and lose your focus

Not only Was In The Long Run Van Wagoners first attempt at publishing the DC marathon Was his first major competition since leaving Michigan StatevUitf-

The cover of former Northville resident Tim Van Wagoners novel In The Long Run Its available at Plymouth bookstores and on Internet sites

versity He said the only other thing hed really Written in his life Were eighth grade book reports

Id always thought running Was just something I could do to stay in shape he said Running in that marathon Was one of my greatest athletic achievements ever What I learned was that so much of Writing is in the obsershyvation of things

Van Wagoner said the writing book permitted him to explore Civil War histoly basketball and of course long-distance running mdash three areas of personal intershyest to him

- Van Wagoner said hes been-pu t xd tlieNjarthViUe area-Jp^^^^

about two years now but said that most of In The Long Run Was conceived While pounding the roads in Northville ToWnship and was mostly written in his Harbour Village apartment

And though Van Wagoner now Works for the Brewers he said his IlQiirt is still in Detroit Tigers baseball

Maybe theyll turn the corner once they get into that neW ballshypark he joked

fn The Long Run is currently on sale at Little Professor Book Store in Plymouth and will soon be offered at amazoncom It can also be ordered by calling (800] 889-0344 bdquo - bdquo - - _ _

f r o m t h e h e a r t i n h i s f i r s t b o o k

Tim Van Wagoner

By CHRIS C DAVIS Staff Wriier

It seems the mosl unlikely combination

A basketball-playing buddy and loyal sidekick

woman who raises a boy after the death of his parents

A girl wi lh an electrifyshying per-sonalitv

A c i v i l W ar hero

Yet for-m e r Northville resident now Mi l -w a u k e e Brewers p r o m o shyt i o n s d i rec tor Tim Van Wagoner has managed to intershylace these and other characters successfully Into his first novel In The Long Run

Its a story that flipflops between reality and hallucination as main character Josh Chamshyberlain runs in his first marathon Josh experiences what many real-life runners know about getting into The Zone

Van Wagoner said the idea for the book came about as he began training for his first marathon in Washington DC in October of 1995 He said w-Titing a book was always something he had considshyered but had never taken up seriously until he began racldng up the miles in preparation for the 262 mile test of Will

Van Wagoner finished writing In The Long Run in 1996

All the colors and the exciteshyment of the event blended together When 1 Was out there Van Wagoner said I thougllt it might be a gooii idea to establish a mental outline of the book before I got out there

The book is a sort of stream-of-consciousness writing that togshy

gles between Joshs delusions while he pounds the pavement and the sudden snaps back into reality as his body is tested and tortured by the fnarathon Van Wagoner said the odd chapters speak to llle reader in a present tense while lhe fantasy characshyters make their appearances in the even-numbered chapters

The zone-out allowed Josh the protagonist to get back into the book which is what I was shooting for he said

The hallucinations and flashshybacks experienced by Josh are similar to the sorts of daydreams Van Wafjoner said he encounshytered

I found that if you could put yourself into a runners zone it was a lot easier lo click off the miles he said I dont know that I ever had a lifelong goal to do something like this Il just sort of erolveci over time

Van Wagoner said each one of the characters in the book is based on people hes known and events hes experienced in his own life Including the setting for Joshs training leading up to the event mdash Frankfort a small Lake Michigan community West of Trashyverse City

He said friends and family who have read the book have been able to readily connect characshyters in ttle novel with the people they were modeled after

Van Wagoner said that in real life he put himself in the Runshyners Zone very often While he Was training but avoided doing in when he Was running in the marathon itself in the hopes he could be pulled along by the energy of other runners in the race

You slap yourself back into reality for one of those things Van Wagoner said Its easy to get caugtlt up in a (iaydream and lose your focus

Not only Was In The Long Run Van Wagoners first attempt at publishing the DC marathon Was his first major competition since leaving Michigan StatevUitf-

Photo courtesy TIM VAN WAGONER

The cover of former Northville resident Tim Van Wagoners novel In The Long Run Its available at Plymouth bookstores and on Internet sites

versity He said the only other thing hed really Written in his life Were eighth grade book reports

Id always thought running Was just something I could do to stay in shape he said Running in that marathon Was one of my greatest athletic achievements ever What I learned was that so much of Writing is in the obsershyvation of things

Van Wagoner said the writing book permitted him to explore Civil War histoly basketball and of course long-distance running mdash three areas of personal intershyest to him

- Van Wagoner said hes been-pu t xd tlieNjarthViUe area-Jp^^^^

about two years now but said that most of In The Long Run Was conceived While pounding the roads in Northville ToWnship and was mostly written in his Harbour Village apartment

And though Van Wagoner now Works for the Brewers he said his IlQiirt is still in Detroit Tigers baseball

Maybe theyll turn the corner once they get into that neW ballshypark he joked

fn The Long Run is currently on sale at Little Professor Book Store in Plymouth and will soon be offered at amazoncom It can also be ordered by calling (800] 889-0344 bdquo - bdquo - - _ _

If thercs one thing rnennbers of the Redford Roadrunner Club have learned how to do in the past 16 years its how to throw a good party Thats what will draw more than 1200 runners and walkers from tliroughout the meu-opoLlan Deu-oit area to Northville lhe evening of Frishyday July 30 for the 16th celebration of the Roadrunner Classic

This years Classic comprises an eight kilometer race ana a one mile fun run and walk The fun run and walk begins at 6 pm the 8k begins at 630 Both racts start and finish in downtown iNorLhillle but the 8k has a different course than in years past According to Classic Race Director Belinda Lec the race begins on Main Street and ends on Cady Street in NorLhville but much of the course follows Hines Drive out of town and back again e wanted to keep the dowTltown Vorthville involvement but this course reqiiires less bloddilg of neighborhood streets which was an Inconvenience to residents and required large numbers of volunteer course marshals Lee notes

Members of the Redford Roadrunshyner Club a loosely organized group of ruriners who meet eveiy Tuesday to run out of St Johns Seminary in Plyshymouth Township voted to take a back to basics approach to this years Classic Thats why we moved back to holding Just the two races (previous years featured a 5k walk) Lee says She adds that the after-race party will continue to live up to its reputation as one of the running communlts favorite siimmer gathershyings

Members of the community and visitors to Northville have come to anticipate race might as well when the downtown gazebo becomes the source of music (this year there will be a DJ spinning audience favorites) and young and old alike Join in dancshying under the stars Thanks to the Classic s neWest major sponsor BuschsMarkels there will be plenty of food for party-goers Memtiers of the Northville Ftotaiy are pitching in to cook hot dogs for the crowd Other sponsors include the Great Harvest Bread Co and Rain Soft Water Who Will be keeping race participants hydrated and carbo-loaded

The Classic is being held In con-Junction With Northvllles Bargain Bazaar sponsored by the Northville Central Business District so particishypants and specUtors are urged to come early and shop prior to the race Registration Is being held In the Cady Street parking structure fi-om 4-6 pm The 8k costs $15 on race

Runners malte a dash for the finish line in the Northville Roadrunner Classic road race Its slated for this Friday morning day while the fun runwalk is S5 for those imder the age of 14 and S8 for everyone else Those who just want to come for the party can participate for S5 Tanktop T-shirts cost another SB and will be available for sale on race day The Boon Loot store in Northville also is canying the shirts for sale

While the Classic offers no prize money there will be plenty of awards The top finishers in age groups increshymented eveiy five years from age 18 on will be eligible for awards ^Ve like to make the race a rewarding experishyence for runners of all ages We attract a lot of elite runners who like to do the race tiecause its such a fijn evening but the large number of age categories means a lot of area runshyners get to take home some hardshyware Lee says

In addition many area businesses have donated merchandise that will be raffled off at the post-race party

The Classic has long been a labor of love for members of the Redford Roadrunners who use the race as the dubs major fund-raising source and a v^y to bring the running comshymunity together for an evening of fim Most races are hdd in the morning so the Classic remains one of the few evening events It first was held in Livonia In 1984 but in 1993 was moved to Northville Various club members have taken on the bigjob of race director over the years Last Years volunteer director was well-known marathoner Doug Kurtis who since has gone on to act as race director for tl1Is years Detroit Free Press Marathon

By Jon M Gibson GUEST REVIEW

As One of cinemas most heavily guarded fi lms director Stanley Kubricks Eyes Wide Shut stands alone

The films surroundIi lg hype caught the worlds attention overthe past few months fi-om eager movieshygoers to the causal couch potato

Adver t i semen t s flooded the media Trailers were strategically shown in thousands of theaters And the legendal^ directors death on March 7 certainly added to the films intrigue

But what tegan as a quest-to-see for movie fans may ring a beU of disshyappointment for many If not an avid Kubrick fan It might be difficult to throw yourself into this engaging yet highly complicated drama

Surrounded With familiar atmoshysphere from Kubricks impressive portfolio of films the directors whole career seemed to be leading up to something as profound as -Eyes Wide Shut

M O V I E R E V I E W

His most commonly referenced f i lm 2001 A Space Odyssey remains one of the best science-fiction features of all time

A Clockwork Orange managed to raise eyebrows upon its initial release simply because of an X rating Tackling a more frightening subject Kubrick set upon what many f i lmmakers have veered toward to boast the i r careers Stephen King

With The Shining he created the first epic horror picture powshyered by amazing visuals and an excellent performance by J a c k Nicholson

Then In 1989 Fu11 Metal Jackshyet offered audiences a renewed vision of violence and sensibility that conquered the Vietnam War

With the Tom CruiseNicole Kidshyman vehicle Eyes Wide Shut the directors last feature fihn Kubrick

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman star in Stanley Kubricks Eyes Wide Shut

delves into the world of sexual obsession

Thought to be one of the most explicit mainstream movies of al l time this film actually offers a much deeper and tasteful use of

nudity barely living up to its sex festival reputation

It is not an erotic piece of cinema II Is moreover a view of mental anguish -mdash a person plagued with thoughts of his wife cheating on

him From here Kubrick takes the audience Into a world so extremely intoxicating

Eyes Wide Shut may be offenshysive to some of the mass audience that has anticipated Its arr ival

Due to this the directors last feashyture film will recfive less than an impress ive turnout at the box office basically because of word-of-mouth criticism aimed toward Its many confusing sub-themes

Kubricks films have always preshysented layered themes going deepshyer Llian the average Hollywood stoshyryline concentrating more on subshystance than just plain eroticism

Eyes Wide Shut is no excep-tion It actually presents a much more complex and inspired plot than a majority of his other filrns

However the major detour wil l be the films extenslve runn ing time mdash an exhausting 155 m i n shyutes B u t once the films t h i ck framework Is worked through the time Is hardly a consideration

Eyes Wide Shut paints enough mystery and suspense to fuel 50 contemporary movies

Stanley Kubrick has left the film industry with his greatest mastershypiece mdash a lasting exhilarating colshylection of moving Images Eves Wide Shut

Photo by JOHN HHDER Linda DeNeen right leads an impromptu session of Spinning at the Novi Sports Club vi ith Kelley Albrecht Julius Feldbaum and Connie Lcftus matching her efforts

By DAN KITTLE Special writer

When the average reader l akes a glance at the adjacent picture the first tiling that comes lo mind is a boring sesshysion of riding a stationery bike for 20 minutes or so in lhe corner of some hot sweaty rancid-smelling gvm However what e-xercise ecpens have dubbed Spinshyning is quickly becoming one of the hottest group workouts in the world of modem exercise

At the Sports Club of Nori Spinning involves an instructor and up to 20 eager participants who gather themselves in a half-cdrcle in the ewrcise room There all class members perch themselves on a 11igh-tech stationery bicycle and follow a certain path using the resistance linob

At the lx)oming cries of the insiructor the riders increase resistance lo give themselves the feeling of climbing an Incredibly steep h i l l or decrease the resistance in order to create the feel of rapidty pedating down a sharp decline

In addition to the urging words of the intense instructor and the technologicalshyly advanced adjustable bikes the lights are turned off and music blares throughshyout the room further motivating the parshyticipants to push themselves to the limshyits

It can be Very intense says Linda DeNeen one of the Instructors of the Spinning classes Its real muscular interval training and its great cross-training

According to DeNeen the Sports Club Was the first to have actual spinning She says that many clubs offer classes on a stationeiy bike but the Sports Club is one of the few to offer the original Spinshyning

Basically a few years back a man

named Johnny G started a certification company known As Mad Dog Without the certification of t1iis company andor the use of Schwlnn bicycles clubs are not allowed to dub their classes Spinshyning

This is the main tiling that has given the Sports Club the edge over other clubs Using their top-notch instructors and stationery bikes they have been able to create a highly-intense hour-long workout that has grabbed the attention of many of the dubs members

Today the Sports Club of Novi has 21 Schwinn bikes and nearly every one is filled at each class Een at some Spinshyning classes that take place at 6 am the e-xercise room is filled to capacity while other classes offered at the same tinle are basically empty

Its important 1 guess for the people i n the communi ty says DeNeen because its kind of the latest tiling and weve got it

In general many group exercise classshyes through the years have been reserved for females Men have mostly shied away from the World of group exercise prefershyring instead to workout on their own while women aerobicized their way to physical fitness

bulliVilh Spinning however the stereotype that men dont show their faces in group exercise rooms has Virtually been shatshytered Males are stepping up and becomshying a big part of the classes offered at Novis Sports Club

Its bringing a lot more men into the group exercise room comments DeNeen Men like it because theres not a whole lot of choreography to follow like with the other group exercise lessons

Novi stiows it belongs among best -When alTWas said and done NoVl stood

among the elite teams With their two state championships this past school year

A continued high level of competition Was evident in Michigan High school Athletic Association tournaments during the 1998-99 school year

Eighty-five different schools won titles in the recently-completed school year two less than the 87 in 1997-98 The continually high number of schools Winning champishyonships is primarily due to the competitiVe environment for high school teams around the stale created by equal divisions in nine sports including boys and girls LoWer Peninsula golf

The 1998-99 school year saw a total of 113 team champions crowned an all-time high Which is an increase of three from a year ago Begl11nlng next year the minimum number of titles Will decrease to 109 When girls volleyball Will hold a unified tournashyment InvolVing teams from the Upper and LoWer Peninsulas for the first time

The schools Which wfSTtheir first MHSAA titles in any sport Were Detroit Mumford in LoWer Peninsula boys track and field Mor-rice in girls basketball Whittemore-Prescott in team wrestling and Wyoming Rogers in softbail In addition there Were 38 schools that Won tournament titles in a given sport for the first time

For a list of champs-turn to B-2

Sixteen of the 85 schools Winning in 1998-99 took more than one crown Marshyquette Won five titles white Ann Arbor Pioshyneer and East Grand Rapids Won four championships apiece Marquette Ann Arbor Pioneer and East Grand Rapids each Won one unified tournament Marquette claimed girls skiing Ann Arbor Pioneer Won boys basketball and East Grand Rapids Won in boys skiing

FiVe schools Won at least three champishyonships and eight (including NoVi) won at

least two Detroit Catholic Cci1tral~rea~air schools With three championships In unified tournaments and Detroit Country Day claimed tWo unified tournaments Eleven of the MHSAAs 24 championship tournaments are unified involving teams from the Upper and LoWer Peninsulas While separate comshypetition to determine tltllsts in both Peninshysulas is conducted in the other 13 sports

The uniques irl 1998-99 included Marshyquette Won its ninth consecutiVe Upper Peninsula boys swimming and d i V l n g title the longest actlVe streak in any sport there Was no repeat champion in any class In girls competitive cheer for the first time In the six-year hlstoiy of the cVent and Crosse Poirte Woods University Liggett Win111ng its 33rd MHSAA croWn in Lower Peninsula boys tennis surpassing Pickfords mark of total championships in a single sport of 32 in Upper Peninsula boys track and field Llggetts title total is a national record In hoys temils While Pickfords 32 boys track crowns ranks second nationally

Continued from I

They also like it because it call be very very iiIteIlse She says that she was surprised to find lhat at a

recent class 10 out of the 12 participants were male J im Volpi enjoys attending the class because of how

hard the Sports Club works him eveiy Unie he comes in I love Spinning he says Its just addictive You get a great workout Ive been 1o other places but lliey just work you much harder here

Jessica Light agrees saying I love it 1 think its one of the best workouts Ive ever had

DeNeen tells an interesting stor of one male who attended her class who spent his tvlnters winning Stanshyley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings

I had a Red Wing in my class in the first part of June right before they went back to Canada she says I said Its going to be my mission to bring you to your knees And he said Dont do that Linda dont do that About 10 minutes into the class he was fried Its just veiy tough

Its a great class says Michelle FoulTtier a regular member in the Spinning room nearly every day who commutes from Rojal Oak jusl to take the class She Went to other clubs in her area but just couldnt find one that gave her as good of a Workout as the Sports Club Its the first exercise that 1 can actually see the results in my legs Ifs the only Workout where you sweat profusely

Its a lot of fun Everyone kind of encourages each other We all moljvaie t-ach olher and we all kind of compete against each other lo fio faster

With all the great things Spinning llas to offer as well as Its appeal to both genders i l appears as though tills old fitness concept turned new will only grow In popushylarity as time goes by

Photo by JOHN HHDER Linda DeNeen right leads an impromptu session of Spinning at the Novi Sports Club vi ith Kelley Albrecht Julius Feldbaum and Connie Lcftus matching her efforts

By DAN KITTLE Special writer

When the average reader l akes a glance at the adjacent picture the first tiling that comes lo mind is a boring sesshysion of riding a stationery bike for 20 minutes or so in lhe corner of some hot sweaty rancid-smelling gvm However what e-xercise ecpens have dubbed Spinshyning is quickly becoming one of the hottest group workouts in the world of modem exercise

At the Sports Club of Nori Spinning involves an instructor and up to 20 eager participants who gather themselves in a half-cdrcle in the ewrcise room There all class members perch themselves on a 11igh-tech stationery bicycle and follow a certain path using the resistance linob

At the lx)oming cries of the insiructor the riders increase resistance lo give themselves the feeling of climbing an Incredibly steep h i l l or decrease the resistance in order to create the feel of rapidty pedating down a sharp decline

In addition to the urging words of the intense instructor and the technologicalshyly advanced adjustable bikes the lights are turned off and music blares throughshyout the room further motivating the parshyticipants to push themselves to the limshyits

It can be Very intense says Linda DeNeen one of the Instructors of the Spinning classes Its real muscular interval training and its great cross-training

According to DeNeen the Sports Club Was the first to have actual spinning She says that many clubs offer classes on a stationeiy bike but the Sports Club is one of the few to offer the original Spinshyning

Basically a few years back a man

named Johnny G started a certification company known As Mad Dog Without the certification of t1iis company andor the use of Schwlnn bicycles clubs are not allowed to dub their classes Spinshyning

This is the main tiling that has given the Sports Club the edge over other clubs Using their top-notch instructors and stationery bikes they have been able to create a highly-intense hour-long workout that has grabbed the attention of many of the dubs members

Today the Sports Club of Novi has 21 Schwinn bikes and nearly every one is filled at each class Een at some Spinshyning classes that take place at 6 am the e-xercise room is filled to capacity while other classes offered at the same tinle are basically empty

Its important 1 guess for the people i n the communi ty says DeNeen because its kind of the latest tiling and weve got it

In general many group exercise classshyes through the years have been reserved for females Men have mostly shied away from the World of group exercise prefershyring instead to workout on their own while women aerobicized their way to physical fitness

bulliVilh Spinning however the stereotype that men dont show their faces in group exercise rooms has Virtually been shatshytered Males are stepping up and becomshying a big part of the classes offered at Novis Sports Club

Its bringing a lot more men into the group exercise room comments DeNeen Men like it because theres not a whole lot of choreography to follow like with the other group exercise lessons

Novi stiows it belongs among best -When alTWas said and done NoVl stood

among the elite teams With their two state championships this past school year

A continued high level of competition Was evident in Michigan High school Athletic Association tournaments during the 1998-99 school year

Eighty-five different schools won titles in the recently-completed school year two less than the 87 in 1997-98 The continually high number of schools Winning champishyonships is primarily due to the competitiVe environment for high school teams around the stale created by equal divisions in nine sports including boys and girls LoWer Peninsula golf

The 1998-99 school year saw a total of 113 team champions crowned an all-time high Which is an increase of three from a year ago Begl11nlng next year the minimum number of titles Will decrease to 109 When girls volleyball Will hold a unified tournashyment InvolVing teams from the Upper and LoWer Peninsulas for the first time

The schools Which wfSTtheir first MHSAA titles in any sport Were Detroit Mumford in LoWer Peninsula boys track and field Mor-rice in girls basketball Whittemore-Prescott in team wrestling and Wyoming Rogers in softbail In addition there Were 38 schools that Won tournament titles in a given sport for the first time

For a list of champs-turn to B-2

Sixteen of the 85 schools Winning in 1998-99 took more than one crown Marshyquette Won five titles white Ann Arbor Pioshyneer and East Grand Rapids Won four championships apiece Marquette Ann Arbor Pioneer and East Grand Rapids each Won one unified tournament Marquette claimed girls skiing Ann Arbor Pioneer Won boys basketball and East Grand Rapids Won in boys skiing

FiVe schools Won at least three champishyonships and eight (including NoVi) won at

least two Detroit Catholic Cci1tral~rea~air schools With three championships In unified tournaments and Detroit Country Day claimed tWo unified tournaments Eleven of the MHSAAs 24 championship tournaments are unified involving teams from the Upper and LoWer Peninsulas While separate comshypetition to determine tltllsts in both Peninshysulas is conducted in the other 13 sports

The uniques irl 1998-99 included Marshyquette Won its ninth consecutiVe Upper Peninsula boys swimming and d i V l n g title the longest actlVe streak in any sport there Was no repeat champion in any class In girls competitive cheer for the first time In the six-year hlstoiy of the cVent and Crosse Poirte Woods University Liggett Win111ng its 33rd MHSAA croWn in Lower Peninsula boys tennis surpassing Pickfords mark of total championships in a single sport of 32 in Upper Peninsula boys track and field Llggetts title total is a national record In hoys temils While Pickfords 32 boys track crowns ranks second nationally

G o l f c o n t e s t c o m i n g u p

Continued from I

They also like it because it call be very very iiIteIlse She says that she was surprised to find lhat at a

recent class 10 out of the 12 participants were male J im Volpi enjoys attending the class because of how

hard the Sports Club works him eveiy Unie he comes in I love Spinning he says Its just addictive You get a great workout Ive been 1o other places but lliey just work you much harder here

Jessica Light agrees saying I love it 1 think its one of the best workouts Ive ever had

DeNeen tells an interesting stor of one male who attended her class who spent his tvlnters winning Stanshyley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings

I had a Red Wing in my class in the first part of June right before they went back to Canada she says I said Its going to be my mission to bring you to your knees And he said Dont do that Linda dont do that About 10 minutes into the class he was fried Its just veiy tough

Its a great class says Michelle FoulTtier a regular member in the Spinning room nearly every day who commutes from Rojal Oak jusl to take the class She Went to other clubs in her area but just couldnt find one that gave her as good of a Workout as the Sports Club Its the first exercise that 1 can actually see the results in my legs Ifs the only Workout where you sweat profusely

Its a lot of fun Everyone kind of encourages each other We all moljvaie t-ach olher and we all kind of compete against each other lo fio faster

With all the great things Spinning llas to offer as well as Its appeal to both genders i l appears as though tills old fitness concept turned new will only grow In popushylarity as time goes by

They also like it because it call be very very iiIteIlse She says that she was surprised to find lhat at a

recent class 10 out of the 12 participants were male J im Volpi enjoys attending the class because of how

hard the Sports Club works him eveiy Unie he comes in I love Spinning he says Its just addictive You get a great workout Ive been 1o other places but lliey just work you much harder here

Jessica Light agrees saying I love it 1 think its one of the best workouts Ive ever had

DeNeen tells an interesting stor of one male who attended her class who spent his tvlnters winning Stanshyley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings

I had a Red Wing in my class in the first part of June right before they went back to Canada she says I said Its going to be my mission to bring you to your knees And he said Dont do that Linda dont do that About 10 minutes into the class he was fried Its just veiy tough

Its a great class says Michelle FoulTtier a regular member in the Spinning room nearly every day who commutes from Rojal Oak jusl to take the class She Went to other clubs in her area but just couldnt find one that gave her as good of a Workout as the Sports Club Its the first exercise that 1 can actually see the results in my legs Ifs the only Workout where you sweat profusely

Its a lot of fun Everyone kind of encourages each other We all moljvaie t-ach olher and we all kind of compete against each other lo fio faster

With all the great things Spinning llas to offer as well as Its appeal to both genders i l appears as though tills old fitness concept turned new will only grow In popushylarity as time goes by

Throw away those antibiotics The net lime your child gels an ear infecshy

tion or you Stan to sniffle you nlighi want to resist the urge to ask your doc lo r for a i l antibiotic -nd if vou have leftover antibiotics from your last infection throv- ihem away -dont use them for the new flare-iip

By doing so you could be helping to prevent the derelopnleni of a netv superbug bacteria strain one that cant be slopped by anl ibi-otics Health experts from the World Health Organization to the Centers for Disease Cori-lrol are sounding this warning for all to hear

Its nol that you shouldnt use antibiotics if your doctor prescribes ihem experts say Aniibioi ics a e extremely useful drugs for fighting bacterial infection and pharmaceutishycal companies have developed specialized ones for different conditions But its important to use antibiotics more sparingly and approprishyately than in the past because scientists now know ivhat misuse can lead to the evolution of drug-resistanl bacteria

Ever since penIrillin was developed in the 1940s certain bacteria have been able to develop resistance as each new antibiotic was developed In those who take antibiotics some resistant bacteria survive and multiply formshying a resen-olr of resistance that can spread to others

Pharmaceutical companies are constantly developing new ant ibiot ic treatments new weapons to fight resis tance S t i l l doctors around the world fear the rise of superbug strains of bacteria - ones thai cant be conshytrolled by any known drugs

We need to be cautious about when we use antibiotics explains Gary Engleberg M D chief of the DI1sion of Infectious Diseases for the Univers i ty o f Mich igan Heal th System Bugs are very eleven They stay ahead of us and theyre capable of doing that because theyre undergoing a very rapid evolution -

much more rapid than we can keep up with generating new drugs

That means its important to understand when antibiotics are - and arent - the right treatment Engleberg said

Patients lend to view these drugs as mirashycle d rugs and indeed they t ruly are but theyre really only miracle drugs when theyre used for the appropriate indication Engleshyberg sa id There are many indications for which antibiotics are given these days often at the patient s request where theyre not really necessary And those are the situations we need to avoid

For example many parents reflexively ask their pediatricians for antibiotics every time their children develop ear infections The docshytors often comply no matter how frequently the children come back with the same sympshytoms Engleberg said

Now in many cases this is truly justified and in some cases it may not be Engleberg said Theres new evidence to suggest that many ear infections really dont need to be treated u i th antibiotics Engleberg said But as a resul t of the d rug therapy that weve given in llie past the pneumococcus mdash which is a bacteria that causes ear infections as Wel1 as pneumonia in adults mdash has emerged resisshytant And one of the risk factors for having a resistant pneumococcus is a child With multishyple ear infection histories because thats a reservoir in Which this organism call emerge

With that in mind Engleberg said It may be best to ride out the infection

B u i Engleberg also sa id i t s not j u s t ear infections that account for excess antibiotic use The Centers for Disease Control estimatshyed that more than one- third ofthle 150 milshylion antibiotic prescriptions given outside hosshypitals each year are unnecessary

Anotl1er example is patients Who implore

their doctors for antibiotics when ihcy in fact have a disease caused by a virus such as cold or flu Engleberg said Since the drugs wont work the patients wont help themselves get belter and will only help lhe bacteria inside their bodies become resistant

We have bacteria that live on the surface of our sk in we have bacteria that live in our mouth and our throat and all the way through our intes t inal tract Engleberg sa id And when we take an antibiotic vvere killing off a lot of these friendly bacteria So now the resisshytant organism has free reign and it has a wide-open niche to grow in

Also putting themselves and others at risk are those who s tockpi le extra an t ib io t i cs from one Illness and raid the medicine chest for them when another ailment comes along without asking a doctors advice Engleberg said Patients should finish their entire preshyscription as directed to prevent the infection from re turning even after symptoms have gone away

So are we on the verge of seeing bacteria that ou t smar t a l l an t i b io t i c s Not qui te Engleberg said

Were not at the point yet where we have superbugs c i r cu l a t i ng w i t h absolute ly no recourse in terms of treatment B u t were not far from that he cautioned If the use of antibiotics doesnt change and the pharshymaceut ica l i n d u s t r y doesn t keep u p we could arrive there soon

With antibiotics st i l l Very much needed to treat condi t ions l ike s inus i t i s meningi t is and some kinds of sexually transmitted disshyeases a n d skin in fec t ions pub l i c hea l th agencies warn its a risk society cant afford to take
