Ice bag a(ter twisting an ankle or experi­encing olher lypos oi sprains, many are nol aware that ice should only be applied to the injury site for a limited period ol lime. According to researchefs at the University of Chicago's Orthopedic Surgery and Rehabilitation Medicine Center, icing an injury lor exactly 25 minutes is 'the optimum time lor quickest healing. When researchers applied ice to the knees ol volunteers tor various amounts ol tiine, they found that the healing effect began at 5 minutes and reached a peak at 25 minutes. During this lime, there was a decrease in blood flow, which reduces swelling. Icing longer than 30 minutes posed the danger ol damage lo tissue and nerves. At Norlhville Physical Therapy &

Nonprolll organizations' volun­teer directors and ofllcers arc pro­tected fronl lawsuits under legisla­tion signed Into law Uils week.

Public Act 397. sponsored by slate Rep. Jan Dolan. allows non­profit organlzaUons lo assume Uie ilability of volunteer officers and directors, "nie new statute extends existing law which protects non director volunteers from liahilily.

"Volunteers are thc lifehlood of most nonprofit groups," said Dolan, F-Farmlnglon Hills. "Those

who help such causes as neighbor­hood organizations, charitable InslltuUons or scouUng should not have lo live In fear of being sued."

Ihe law permits nonprofit orga­nizations to Include in Ihelr arti­cles of Incorporations a provision to assume liability for all acts or omissions of volunteers. It does not exUngulsh a volunteer's IlablU-ty, hut merely transfers it to the corporation. Volunteers remain liable if they acted outside the scope of their duUes.

A 1995 Incident In Farmlngton Hills prompted tlie bill. An unin­corporated homeowners associa­tion of residents living on a natural beauty road sought and received a zoning change to prevent threat­ened overdevelopment. A developer sued Uie city and each member of the neighborhood associalion.

"The suit was voluntarily dis­missed against die residents, but only after they lost tlmc and money and suffered great emoUon-al dlshess," Dolan said.

The opening of ihe seat for ihe fali i i ie sess ion is the result of a vacancy caused when Wjll is Bullard was elected to the stale Senate earl ier this year. The winner in Ihese two races

C o m m i t t e e s on which one or two loglslailvo committees would you like most to

Given niy h.ickirrouiid as an elected Nhvl ofllclal and In response to my district's Interests. I would seek nlenlbershlp on the transportation and tax policy eomniltlees. Oakland Counly had a strong voice' wllh fornier Rep. Dill Dullard as chair of the Tax Policy Commltiee. but now that lie Is our stale senator. We need to replace Ills lalcnl with someone who already Is an experienced Icical legislator

Gary Johnson

Emironinenlal. hxxatlon.

GARY JOHNSON DEMOCRAT Gary Johnson Is a Village of IMIIford Planning Commission- ., er, a Democrailc Party precinci delegate and a biuegrass musi-clan. Johnson ran tor a seat on the Mllford Village Council but did not win. An army veteran, he has a job in manufacturing in Highland Township and Is the elected labor representative with the UAW Local 1742.

O p e n g o v e r m e n t should penalties be tougher for public olilclals who violaie the Open

Meetings Act? e.g., Si ,500 fines Instead cf $500; removal from oiilce for a second offense?

Yes, penalties should bc louglier; S 1.500 Is approprlale. 1 think that the names of violalors sliould be puhllshed In their lionictoivn newspa­pers .-Ind 1 would support a review process wltli niiproprlale conse­quences for those that commit a second offense.

Yes and yes, but .sonic l^llford Village ofllclals were recently erroneous­ly accused of violating the open niccttngs act. There should he stringent safeguards against erroneous accusations.,

S c h o o l q u a l i t y Is Michigan on Ihe right path In dropping cerilllcation (or superlntcn-

dents and principals, and eliminating a mandatory core curriculum?

R o a d * Are Michigan's state and local roads In bad enough shape to warrant

Increasing the fuel tax? Should Ihe manner In which revenues are split between the state, counties and munlclpalliles also be revised? How?

T r i a l c o u r t s Should Michigan move In ihe direcilon oi a single trial court Instead ol

circuit, probate, district and recorder's courts? Should Detrclt continue to be (he only county seat In the slate with a separate criminal court

• (recorder's court)?

A IB s i s t e d s u i c i d e which should ihe Legislature do: a) ban and punish assisting a suicide?

b) allow doctor-asslsled suicide after a screening procedure? c) or make no law on assisting a suicide? Why?

No. As an educator. I know tliat professional standards, proper certlfl-calion/accreditatioil. and upgrading of educational credit hours are reiiuircd now of the educational slaff. I think parents and the public In general want to know lhat adnilnislralors of public schools are qualilled and have the necessary educational background lo manage their local school districts. 1 also believe in local control that is decided upon hy parents working \villi their school boartl. teachers and administration.

Oakland County is not getting Ils fair share of dollars to Improve roads. As a •donor county." Oakland gels only 63 cents returned for each dollar il sends to Lansing. We want a fair stiake for our growing dis­trict. Rather than rush to a new gas tax. a mectianism that ensures equitable redistrihution should be developed to ensure that a fair share of the funding formula is comniitted lo local road iniprovenicnts. 1 sug­gest a caucus that coiikl meet regularly to Jointly flghl for Oakland.

(a) Yes. Michigan should move toward a single trial court hecause It Is Yes. No. more cfficlent/econonilcal and would allow Judges to hear any case and place Judges where they are needed. Currently there are four ongoing experiments In four counties regarding a single court and the prelimi­nary results appear to Ije good, (b) I support overall court reform. Under a unified trial bench, elimination of Detrolfs Recorders CtiuVt'is llkclji'td lie suslainect because there would bc no si'Pdratl''l.'olmL'^;-" - •-'-I

No. Cerlifieaiion is assurance of qualification. No. only core curriculum ivill assure conipctitlvc Ic.irniiig.

I do not hellcve citizens of Michigan will accept a fuel tax. Reform of revenue disbursement should be sturlicd.

U r b a n s p r a liv I In the last decade, Michigan has lost the equivalent oi 37 townships

T u i t i o n r a t e s Are high tuition rates a problem? If so, what would you advocate?

A r t .s f u n d i n g : Michigan has funded large arts organizations (Detroit insiliuie of Arts, symphonies, Cranbrook, zoos) wiih state grants. Some bills propose voter-

(a) Violent crime among Juveniles is increasing a) an alarming rate and 1 supporl adult lliiic for committing adult violent crime as a strong deter­rent.

Ih) 1 support the existing "650-lifer" l.iw because drugs are a serious threat to our eoiiiniunltles, We ought to catch and prosecute drug rlealcrs anrI carriers to the fullest extent of the law. (c) Prison space should meet the need lo prolect our families and children.

Tile market place has responded to people's desire to move to areas that are less populated, have open spaces, and provide certain quality of life amenities. As a locally-cleeled Novl counellwonian. i have heen on thc forefronl of addressing this issue. Local master planning and local control are imporlant here to ensure that the necessary Infrastructure (i.e.. roads, sewer, water, schools, etc.) to support growth is in place, •hnpacf legislation has heen Introduced to address this concern.

The 1996-1997 state budget allocates more slate funding to environ-mehtal cleanups ('orphan share") when the responsible parly cannot be found. Certainly, environmental health is a mandatory public function ^ and all attempts lo locale polluters should continue. Responslhle. rea-"' sonabic and practical solutions need to prevail and Ihe DNR should be held accountable for working \vith private property owners treating them wllh respect and cooperation ivlthout signs of arrogance.

The fact lhal tuition rates continue to rise are a problem and I believe legislators should take steps to make higher education at state unlverel-tles affordable. Tax credits for families and for corporations which pro­vide endowments would be a start.

Importantly, ivtlh a strong Michigan economy, the state was able lo reverse Ihe deficit and help universities \vtth their capital needs. This Is an Important trend.

While 1 favor the people voting on this Issue. 1 personally'have reserva­tions about an "arts tax".beeause:

(a) This would represent a new property tax on homes when cutdng taxes strengthens the economy and provides more discretionary ("In pocket") funds lo families to choose their own forms of recreation. • '.-.

(h) Of the tack of public accountability by a board that would be set up lo dispense the taxpayers dollars for arts funding.

Yes. 1 supporl modincatton to Michigan's no-faull divorce lavvs requir­ing proof of fault where there are minor children and a plan for earing for children after the divorce In the Interests of families and children.

la) Children should nol be tried or sentenced as adults. • (b) I strongly support the 650-llfer lavv. . ' ' (c) In the interest of frugality, we should do things like research exist­

The real shooting match was over In August.

That's when Novi City Council Member Nancy Cassis edged out two competitors lo win the Rcpub-lican nonilnatlon for the 38th Dis­trict Michigan House of Represen­tatives seat. Now. In a traditionally GOP district, she's facing Demo­crat Car)-Johnson.

Tills has hcoome what eould be called, a quiet, mannerly race, ivilh neither candidate taking pot­shots al the other.

Bul there Isl a big dash of eonfu-sloii thrown In. Thai's hecause vot­ers are asked to vole livice. Once is for the tag end of former state rep­resentative and now Slate Sen. Bill Bollard's term, which runs from November to the year's end. The second vole Is lo fill the ofllce for a new term, two years beginning In January 1997.

Whoever wins will e.irn S50.000 annually lo represent the commu­nities of Novi. a portion of Northville. Walled Lake, Wlxom, Mllford, Novi Township, South l.yon and Lyon Tmvnship.

One of Ihc planks of Johnson's campaign is Ihc "Engler revolution ... it's nol for everybody." The Unit­ed Auloworkers local trustee said he Is skeptical of the "so-called economic recovery that the Repub­licans lout."

"There has heen no such recov­ery for the middle class or the working class. Over Ihe last decade, wages have stagnated and earned benefits have been reduced, while real cost of living has gone up and buying power has gone down." Johnson said. "The stale can try and help and supporl unions and the things they do."

Johnson Is calling for an Eco­nomic Bill of Rights for the middle and working classes, which would include the right lo: a Job al a liv­ing wage: adequate health care; a decent home; compensated leave lime during a cataslrophle family event, care for newborns and 111 family members; protection from economic fears of illness, old age. disability, accident and unemploy­ment.

Cassis, a long-time Republican Party activist, is an Engler sup­porter who says she is aiming for the maximum three terms In the state house.

In her campaigning. Cassis Is emphasizing some of the points she said she heard from area resi­dents while working door-to-door in the coinmunlties prior to the primary: Improve Oakland Counly roads, reduce crime and protect the sehool systems. She's done less canvassing since the start of ttie school year: Cassis works for Novl schools as a psychologist.

Johnson classifies himself as a conservative Democrat, one of the few from his party lo win an endorsement from the National Rifle Association. He's also anil-abortion, bul favors assisted sui­cide as a personal choice.

Cassis is adamantly against either. In place of assisted suicide, she backs access to pain manage­ment and hospice care. She Is a former hospice center volunteer.

"I saw how that environment ean support someone who Is very III and help the family, so that the person really doesn't have pain. It's a very, very humane and warm environment." Cassis said.

"I have concerns that this all may lead to us into euthanasia. I've got greal concern about a soci­ety lhal Is accepting of these prac­tices."

RoAi>S Neither candidate favors an

increase In the gas lax to fund road Improvements.

Instead. Johnson said he backed eliminating discounts on truck dlesei fuel.

"You've got to find money to repair our roads and bridges ... We have lo come up with some way lo gel started. Every day that goes by, the roads are going lo cosl more lo repair," he said

"We need to consider new and innovative ways such as develop­ers' fees and new super lottery sales for road enhancement ... Using money from the stale gener­al fund would be anolher viable kick-start. We can argue about replacing il later."

Cassis said she'd like to see an Oakland Counly Republican cau­cus In the state house that would unite to bring back a bigger share of the lax dollars to Michigan's richest counly.

"We can build some consensus and get our fair share of dollars back to our region," she added.

DBvEI.OI>MENT ISSUES Both Cassis and Johnson said

they favor Impact fees, lo he paid by developers to help fund Infras­tructure required hy a communi­ty's growth.

"In going to Lansing, I will he very supportive of that concept. 1 would Uke lo see enabling legisla­

tion that \vlll allow local communi­ties to impose their own fees." Cas­sis said,

"Florida has used these tools raiher successfully. B u l that always has lo be weighed around what wtll that do, will that stimu­late the growth or will It deter It?"

Most of the communlUes within the 38111 District are experiencing the stress of fast gromh. Johnson said.

"It's like the old saying, it's like trying to pul eight pounds of seed into a nve pound bag," he said.

"Our schools are Just bulging. We're going to have to have some very, very good planning in order lo assess how the schools wtll have the capacity for all those new chil­dren who are going to be coming In."

ON TEACHING MORALITY Both Johnson and Cassis

oppose using the Bible in public schools to leach values.

"I'm a practicing Christtan, but i dont think the state has any busi­ness pushing that Ithe Bible) on people. They would Jusl feel the government Is pushing religion on them." Johnson said.

"I would rather have lhat be taught In church."

To Cassis, it should be up to the parents to provide for a child's reli­gious education, although she added that she prohably differed from some members of the Repub­lican Party in hcr belief that the Bible should not be used in the classroom.

"1 believe In character educalion. That is taught not in the curricu­lum but through modeling and encouraging citizens to respect each other and tell the truth. The purpose of public education Is to provide the finest educalion for our students so Ihey can be com-petitlve when they graduate." Cas­sis said.

WELFARE Cassis sees adult education and

affordable day care as a way to get people off welfare and Into the world of work. Possthly parents moving from welfare to work could have a credit or supplement to finance day care, she suggested.

"I believe In offering people help to get them started but, nct a epn-llnuous handout," she said.

"You should be able lo provide for the number of children you are going lo have."

Johnson favors requiring those on welfare to also work.

"I want lo he sure that people who are really, sincerely and truly In need, not the professional wel­fare collector, that they are not Just cast aside, that Ihcy don'l fall Into the cracks," he explained.

Incumbent Judge Brian MacKenz ie is running unop-posed to retain his seat o n

the 52-1 District Court bench. Nonetheless, The

Novi News asked him to put his v iews on various court i ssues on the record in the fol lowing grid. MacKenzie,

running for the non-partisan post, will win a six-year term

in the Nov. 5 election. The 52-1 District Court covers Nov i , South Lyon, Walled Lal<e, Wixom, Commerce,

Highland and Milford.

A c h i e v e r What one or iwo deeds - deeds,

not just offices held - do you con­sider your outstanding civic accom-pllshments that make you (It for office?

BRIAN MacKENZIE INCUMBENT MacKenzie, 47, was first appointed to the judgeship In March of 1938. He ran for elec-tlon later that year and has been reelected twice since. He Is a former Wayne County assistant prosecutor and past state Assistant Attorney Gener-al. MacKenzie Is married and has one daughter, a son and a step-daughter.

Brian MacKenzie

n e n t s The two things that I am most proud of In my time as a Judge are the

creation and Implementation of: a program lo prevent domestic violence and a literacy program designed to prevent recldlvlstic heh.ivior on the part of individual defendants, Thc domestic violence program has reduced serious domestic assaults, in jusl three years, hy 57 perceni and has received numerous awards. 1 am hopeful lhat the literacy pro­gram while still new ivlll achieve similar results.

T a r g e t e d The S2nd District Court has

launched several programs to specifically address particular prob­lem areas such as domestic vio-lenc^, llllteraoy and drunk driving. Do such programs work? How elfectlve are they for the resources dedicated to Ihem? Are Ihere addl-tlonal crime categories for which you would propose a targeted pro-gram?

C o n v i c t i o n

p r o g r a m s I believe these programs do work. No additional tax dollars were

required for these programs. By way of example, the domestic \1olence program has signincantly reduced serious domestic assaull. and Ihe alcohol sentencing program know as the Impact weekend has reduced alcohol recidivism to Just under 4 percent. They work by using existing court resources more effleiently.

Currently, the court is working on a targeted program to deal \vlth the Illegal use of tobacco, alcohol and other Illicit drugs by Individuals under the age of 21.

Do targeted programs alter con-victlon rates In the categories of crimes lor which they are used? How can the couris assure thai deiendanis' rights are protected in such targeted programs and that guilt Is not simply assumed?

r a t e s The only program adopted by this court that changed convlcUon rates

W.1S the domestic assaull program. It did so largely by eliminating dis­missals a l the request of the victim. Refusal lo dismiss a case at the request of the victim does not Implicate a defendant's conslltulional rights nor should any program in which the court is a parUcIpant affect a defendant's rights under the ConstituUon. Every project starts with the consideration of the defendant's constitutional rights. As an example, the domestic assault program implemented fast-tracking. In part, lo assure defendant's right to speedy trial In circumstances where a defendant charged \vllh a crime Is not allowed lo return to his/her home. This can bc especially burdensome if it takes six months to try llie ciise.

T r i a l c o u r t s Should Michigan move In the

direction oi a single trial court Instead oi separate circuit, probate and district courts? Why or why not?

I believe Michigan should move in the direction of a single trial court Instead of separale circuit, probate and district courts. 1 believe that we should go In this direction lo more effectively use our Judicial resources.

If Nancy Cassis moves her politi­cal career lo Lansing, her local address will remain the same.

Bul she will be packing up al two places that have been central to her life. If elected, she'll resign as school psychologist, a position she's held with Ihe Novl School DIstriel for 17 years. And she'll be off of the Novt City Council, where she's served for nine years, with one two-year break when she was defeated In a hid for mayor.

"In cityigovernment, you're clos­est to the people. If you go lo the drugstore shopping or the movies or a restaurant, you're likely lo meel someone who knows you," Cassis said. "I'll miss having your hand In local government, right where you live."

The quest for the capltol Is an expensive one for Cassis. She said her expenditures for hoth the pri­mary and the general election will run to aboul $27,000.

As a psychologist rotating dally from school lo school within the

Novl system, Cassis deals with children with learning disabilities, emotional difficulties, attitude problems and difficulties such as suhstance abuse.

"I like working with a young per­son and giving them the resulls of their testing and showing them they really have skills and abilities they didn't know they have and to utilize those skills wllh school work and vocationally," she said. Today society being what Is, often times children are drifting. They are trying to find some meaning, some purpose. The school's responsibly Is to try and hring the parents in."

If elecled. Cassis said she'll con­tinue to concentrate on areas such as education, transportation needs, mental health and the appropriation of stale money. She also would set up a round table discussion group with people In the 38th District to discuss "mutu­al interests."

"There's more we can be doing lo involve local people with the dis­l r le l . In government, more and

more of these voices can be heard." she said. "1 intend to he very accessible, whenever two or more people want nie for some­thing, 111 be there."

Cassis got her start in polities at the grassroots level. In the early 1980s, during a downturn In the economy, builders were putting up lower-priced homes next to exist­ing houses in some Novl subdivi­sions. Cassis was a leader of a res­idents' revolt that led lo a local ordinance banning the practice.

She's been manled for six years to Novi community activist Victor Cassis. Cassis has two children of her own and five step-children, scattered from New York to Califor­nia.

Organizations endorsing her are the Michigan Townships Associa­tion, the Novl Chamber of Com­merce, Police Officers Association of Michigan. Michigan Nurses Association, Michigan Association of Realtors. Michigan Milk Produc­ers Association.

The disirici courts have the heav­iest ivork load of Ihe various courts, because Ihey deal with lesser felonies and misdemeanors, smaller civil cases and traffic matters? What can be done by the local court lo handle Ihe work load and more quickly process Ihe cases coming before It?

S e n t e n c i The state legislature has In some

cases mandated minimum sen­tences for certain types of crimes. The state supreme court has Issued sentencing guidelines In other areas. How much discretion should a judge have when sentencing an Individual? Why?

Every case must be considered In context. Will our community be safer? Will criminals he prevented from furlher crimes and encouraged to change their behavior? Can citizens he confident that a fair resolution can he had in the courl? Justice must he done in each indlMdual case. In 1995. tiiere were 55.000 cases filed In the 52nd District Court. 1st Division. In order ensure that each of these cases are treated appropri­ately the court musl be efficient. We have tried to design and Implement systems that more quickly process cases. We have brought In outside agencies such as thc slate court administrator's office and the Center for state Courts In order to assist us In designing these approaches.

n g Someone must sentence a person who lias conimilled a crime. That

.decision can he made hy some bureaucrat in Lansing, an assistant pros­ecuting attorney who may have only graduated from law school three months eariier. or a Judge elected by the citizens and subject to public scrutiny. I believe this lasl approach Is the besl. it is the current approach to sentencing in district court. Any aclion I lake is a public acUon \vith my reasons for doing so on the record. This Is the best way. 1 hclleve, to Insure Justice.

C o u r t h o u s e When the S2nd District Courl

moved lo Novl, other communities within the Jurisdiction were con­cerned about problems thai might create (or ihem in terms ol drive time and time spent at the court­house. What can be done lo ease ilme constraints for officers and officials irom the outlying communl-lies?

The besl way lo ease lime constraints for officers and officials from the out-lying communities'is to give the 52nd Dislriet Court additional mag­istrates. These magistrates could then go lo the different coinmunlties and handle arraignments, small claims and informal hearings. That would greatly ease the burden for bolh the officers and the officials.

Additionally, I strongly favor faxing search warrants, video arraign­ments and other uses of technology that ivlll alloiv us to handle matters in a more expeditious fashion.

Whether he's elected state repre­sentative for the 38th District. Mll­ford resident Gary Johnson Is cer­tain about one thing - the Demo­cratic Party needs a voice In south­west Oakland Counly.

"I want the Democrats to be a presence oul here. 1 think there

. should be a balance for the good of the people. 1 think Ihey should gel the besl of both philosophies." he said.

His hometown, as well as Novl, Is typically, lo use a phrase John­son doesn't care for. a "Republican stronghold." Johnson said he plans to organize a Democratic club for southwest Oakland Coun­ty-

This Is his Uilrd race for elected office. He ran for Milford's Village Council In March 1996 and In 1994;. In, (he August primary, Johnson was unopposed.,, . . .

:; • iri February, i He "was' appoiiiied toSe Plaiiiilng Cornmlsslon there,

'dealing with growth and develop-: ment Issues nol unlike those.expe-

rienced in Novl. "I love It. Jusl seeing how the

masler plan of communities work. I'm like a lot of people, when I start something. I like to he good at It." he said.

Johnson Is a manufacturer's technician at Pneumatics Ine. and a hustee for his United Aulowork­ers Local 174. He expects to spend aboul $3,000 on his campaign.

Endorsements for Johnson came from the National Rifle Associa­tion, the UAW, bolh the Detroit Melro and State AFL-CIO, the Iron Workers, the Michigan Teamsters Joint Council 43 and the United TransportaUon Dlshlcl.

"Labor has taken a bad rap. Before the unions came, there were no paid holiday, no Insur­ance, no overtime pay, all those benefits," he said, "i think the union did get excessive for a while, in the sixties and sevenues .,.1 want logo to thejcgisiatiire to Kelp"''middle'-6ras's wisrldng peopie ' because 1 believe they're the back­bone of the country.;. l want them lb have the Hgiiis and quality of

life thai the generations before them had."

Drafted into the army during the Vietnam war, Johnson served as a cook at Fort Hood, Texas. He was headed for Southeast Asia when his company got a last-mlnute reprieve. At the time, Johnson was rather disappointed he didn't make it to Uie hatUefront,

He's been married lo Suellen for three years, a second marriage for both. They met through a classi­fied ad.

"I don't like lo go bars. 1 read ads, bul I thought Uiey were weird people. I read one and it caught my eye. It said country music is a must." he said.

As It happens. Johnson and his twin sisters have formed their own Biuegrass hand, the Lee Counly ConnecUon, He plays the guitar.

"It wasn't very long before 1 knew she was Uie right girl. We're going on our third year of marriage and we're closer all the Ume." Johnson said.

When the stale legislature approved Ihe Open Meetings Act, the state supreme court concluded that It did not epply to administra­tive meetings oi the courts. Would you support opening administrative meetings of the courts to the pub­lic?

J u d i c I a I What, In your opinion. Is the most

important personal quality - com­passion, fairness, a willingness to listen, toughness, good knowledge of the law, etc. - that a judge should have? Why?

v'v;. ' G O a''l s What single goal would you most

like to see accomplished In your term on the District Court bench?

When the legislature and executive decide issues of public policy they do so In a group meeUngs or hearings. The open meetings act prevents these important mecllngs from occurring outside puhlic scrutiny. When memhers of the judicial branch act. they do so In a courtroom. Tills is the essenUal difference between the judicial branch of government and the executive and legislative branches. Everything a Judge does in a courtroom, \vlth very few excepUons. Is open to the puhllc.

t e m p e r a m e n t A Judge must first he fair. Each case must be decided only on its mer­

its \vithout bias. I believe honesty is required as well. In order to be fair, ajudge musl be honest. Experience Is another,critical asset. After all. In order to be fair, one musl be able to comprehend the Issues. Administra-Uve ability Is also a necessity. In order to get to each case, one must have the ability to administer cases so that each case can be heard fairly on Its merits. The ability to work hard Is another quality for a good Judge. A Judge musl have common sense. A first offender caught shoplifting Is different from a violent repeat offender. One may be required to make restlluUon and perform community service. The other belongs In Jail. Finally, commitment to public service Is necessary.

1 would like to work towards the goal of reducing thc number of teenagers who find themselves in trouble due to the consumption of alcohol or other illicit drugs. 1 believe alcohol and marijuana are gateway drugs that lead not only to drug addiction and heallh problems but also to olher crimes. We in Uie dlsUlcl court have a special ohllgallon lo do i something and I hope In my next lerm to be able to start a process that : wtll attack Uils problem In a new and slgntneanl way. I

How oflen cnn_a homeowner spend $6.50 a year and fix n leak)-crack, a poor vcntHatlon system nnd rennlsh a jail faclllly?

The Cily of Novl Is asking resi­dents to vote In a $2.5 million hond issue Nov. 5 lhal would go toward fl,\lnfi structural and design prohlcnis al l.ee C, BcGole Police Hradqliarlers.

For thc owner of a $100,000 home, lhal would bc $6.50 a year In c,\tra taxes for (he 0.13 mill rale.

Police Chief Doujjlns Shaeffer said thc pollcc deparlmcnl Is In dire need of Ihc e.xlra funding to fix a series of problems he sees in thc building. No money will go toward slnfllng.

Since the hulUlIng was con-slnicled 18 years ago. changes In the cominunily and problems with the construction arc forcing the deparlmcnl lo take aellon. he explained.

"Wc Ihink we can have II lasl until 2030 but we have lo do some things nrsl," said Shaeffcr,

Three years ago thc oily commis­sioned Ihe architccliiral firm of Coqulllard, Diindon, Peterson and Argcnla to study the needs of the

building. What thcy found was a grocery list of prohlems, according to Ihe chief.

The hulldmg Is out of touch wllh 1995 federally mandated slail­dards sel for the Americans wilh DIsahllltlcs Ael.

"Wc have a compulsion to iiieel Ihosc. It's a legal requirement." said Shaeffcr.

The changes would Include a ivldcr and automallc entrance tloor lo Ihe building, handlcappetl halh-rooms and jail cell faeillllcs. a handicapped lelcphone oulskic Ihc building and new fire alarms.

The building Is also oul of touch wjth the changing needs of Ihe comniunlly. he snId.

When the building was con-struelcd. there werc no female cops. Although the locker rooms > have been altered lo accommodate the five female officers and thc nine female dispalcliers who also \vear uniforms, the locker rooms aren't big enough.

In order lo llx the problem, walls wiil have to be kicked oul and the rooms redesigned arid some moved elsewhere In thc building.

Wllh Ihe growth of the conmiu-

nlly, criiiic has Increased and now 15 prisoners on average arc housed n day ll) Uic only four cells In Ihe structure. Oil some days all 15 or even 20 could be sequestered due to Ihe .52-1 Dls­lr ld Courl In Novl. according lo police.

When the building was llrsl con-slriicletl a portion of Ihe hiillding was left unnnlslicd. save the elec-Irlcal .ind plumbing work, lo be finished hUer as addlUonal jail cells.

Thai tlirie'has come, said Shaef­fer.

Other changes need lo be niade In llle jail Including an infectious diseases cell and an Isolallon cell. Currently, evldcni-c ami records are stored In the unllnished room and will need lo be moved to a newly conslructcd area.

Olher cultural changes Is the need lo Irain officers In a new way lhal requires classroom and larger training space, something the coii-slructiorl of an addition would change.

'"There is nolhing Ihnl causes a greater liahilily lod.iy than Ihc lack of Iralnlng of officers." said Shaef­

fcr. Bi l l wilhoul major changes lo

Ihc slruclural soundness of the hulldlng Itself. Shacffer's plans mean Utile.

He said the building was cared for but cracks have appeared In walls, walcr seeps In from thc hill­side and sand creeps In through llie iloor.

"Thcy IcU us If lhat condition continues, those walls will fall." said Shaeffer, explaining the archi­tect Indicated excavation of the wall would he needed to find the prohleni.

Inlcrnally, Ihe building needs a better vcnlUallon system lo adjust lo the ejcctroulc systems In the offices, a funic hood for when detectives process fingerprints, a second holler should he added to the biilldliig so the two can alter­nate use and lasl longer, Ihe cmer-geney generalor needs lo be replaced.

The bond would pay for addi­tional nialnlenancc bays In the building. The current two bays aren't enough for the 33 police vehicles and 45 olher city owned vehicles all repaired there.

If ihcrc's any single gripe you hear from pcopic who live In Novi. It's the roads.

City officials say a new $17.1 iiulllon roarl bond proposal will help move traffic through town. Voters arc asked to accelerate the repairs hy placing a 0.86 mill tax on tlicmsclvcs.

"People tell mc all the time; you'd better do soraetlilng ahout die roads.

"We're going to solve the norUi-south problem. The casl-west prohiem Is going to remain," City Manager Ed Krtcwall said.

Tlic cornerstone of the project list. Puhilc Works Director Tony Nowlckl said, Is creating more nortli-soulh routes for h-afllc. Part of die burden on Novfs roads are commuters heading to and from the Commerce Township area and those traveling to elites further west. Novi's position on interstate 06. as development moves west, makes congestion Inevitable.

"Wc really arc to a large extent loday taking responsibility with the roads. We don't have any choice. We arc one of the commu­nities along the expressway. Motoring Is going lo be more pleas­ant In the city once diis is done," Krtcwall said.

The last time Novl had a road bond issue was In 1990. At that lime, an $18.8 million package was adopted. One of die new pro­jects will pick up where dial left off wlUi the huUdhig of the Taft itoad extension.

First Included In die 1990 road bond, the new Taft Road became too expensive to achieve and Is now on the 1996 road bond project list.

Soulh Lake Drive. The joh Includes pavement

reconstruction of West Road and new consuucUon of Taft. Road as a three-to-two-lane road, with some sidewalks. Price tag for Taft, $6,281 mlUlon.

The accompanying West Road resurfacing and Improvement would cosl $1,288 million.

While designing the extension for Uie 1990 road bond project was underway, it was discovered thai the construction Is more expensive than originally anticipated. One reason Is that a hrldge will need to he hum over the CSX railroad u-acks, hiking die cosls.

"We have really been hying to do on Uic west side what Decker Ifead has done on the east side and return dial area lo a more residen­tial area." Krtcwall.

MEADOWBROOK ROAD Possibly the most scenic stretch

of roadway hi Novi Is the winding, dirt Meadowbrook Road connect­ing Twelve Mile wlUi TWrtecn Mile. It's also popular with commuters u-aveiing north-south In Novl. City engineers say the road conditions pose a safety hazard. Traffic hi Uie area will pick up even more, when a massive new development. The vistas. Is completed on the west side of the road.

Nowlckl said every attempt In deslgnhig die project wUl bc made lo keep Meadowbrook a lovely stretch of road. Drake Road In Farmlngton Hills, with Us plc-lurcsquc stone embankments, could he a model.

This paving and widening pro­ject. Including sidewalks, would cost $2,724 million and Include curbs, gutters, a hike path and sidewalk.

"Englneerlng-wlsc, this will he a challenge. This will be one of the most InlercsUng projects, to craft a road Uiat maintains the character of Uie hUls and weUands," Nowlckl said.

"Now, If you need new parts for your car, you can go through there any day and ilnd mirrors lying In the road."

CRESCENT BOUIEVARD The city already won state

grants for portions of a ring road on the northwest corner of Novi Road and Grand River Avenue. Tlic road leads from the Novl Expo Center to Novl Road and die sec­

ond segment runs from Progrcs-slve Tool, to Grand River Avenue. The bond money would united the pavement hy running a bridge over Uie Rouge i-aver.

The csUraatcd cosl for this pro­ject Is Si.51 million.

The new rmg road would bc an Ideal truck'route for the busy downtown area. Kriewail said.

"At Grand River and Novi Road, ll's difficult for uiicks lo turn. All larger hucks have to do more Uian a 90 degree turn lo go west," he said. "From a traffic movement standpoint, Uie greatest bencllt Is In Uic riorUiwest quadrant."

it's long been a city planning goal to have a ring road encircling the enllre Grand River and Novl Road Intcrseclton. To the south-east. Main Street will accomplish that. To the northeast, the Novl Town Center road system lUls Uiat role.

The Expo Center owners mdlcat-ed that they would donate the needed rights-of.way, worth from $200,000 to $300,000, Kriewail added.

in addlUon, to accommodate the extension. Progressive Tool will spend about $200,000 for a new driveway.

mTERSECTIONS Additional lanes on the north

and south IntersecUon approaches win be added, to permit Ihrough and right.turning vehicles to bypass lefl-lumlng ones. T\irnlng lanes wlU be Installed al CotUsford Drive at Uie Brookland Farms sub­division hi Novi Township.

In addlUon, Irafllc signals will bc upgraded.

Til ls project will be coordinate

with Ihc Oakland County Road Commission plans lo widen Nine MUe Road lo live lanes In Uils area.

"Tlie ulllmale goal Is to be able to move u-afllc along Eight Mile to Fourteen MUe Road, all along Novl Road." Nowlckl said.

SUBDivJSiON ROADS Because Novi's charter will not

allow special assessment districts to be placed on residents for local road repairs, the city is seeking $2.5 million to do Uic work.

-It's critical to keep repairing our roadways,"' Nowlckl said, adding that preventative mainte­nance will help ward off further street deterioraUon within Novl neighborhoods.

SiONAUZATlON Tlie road bond wouid place new

trafnc lights ot a variety of Inter-sccUons Uiroughout town.

• Ten Mile and Wbiom roads, for $158,000.

• Nine Mile and Beck roads, for $770,000.

• Nine MUe and Taft roads, for $143,000.

• Eleven MUe and Beck roads, for $306,000. . )

STREET UGHTINC Of the road, bond money,

$68,000 would be designated to brighten up major roadway Inter-secUons with more sheet lighls.

Sireet lighting seems like a good Idea to Novl Fire Chief Art i.enaghan.

"As one who travels around town at 2 or 3 a.m., I'd like to see sheet, lighls. It Is really dark at Ten MUe and Napier Road al 2 a.m.," he said.

ByJANJEFFRES / 'Stall Writer J

Back In 1979, ,>Jovi's master plan for land use clllcd for live fire stations, and 11 vas anllcipatcd .lhe cily would soincday hcconie Home lo 85,000 rsidenls.

.'• Now, almost 30years later, wlillc ,Novi remains a boom town, the population proiccllon has gone dmvn to 05,000-j'0,000. • And voters arf asked lo approve a $2.25 million fire bond proposal that will scratd lhal older slrate-'gy-

Instead, aftir a year of study, the Citizens Police and Fire Needs Committee recommends that Novl slay wllh four stations, hut build a new, improved Station Four

A second .component of the pro­posal Is a training center, wllh a Ihree-lo-four slory-lall tower, a burn pit fff extinguisher practice, classrooms for fircflghlcrs and a building ivherc firefighters can walk through sniokc-niled rooms. It would be a place where pald-on-call, part-time firefighters who might joh the department lacking famlliarlly with basic power tools could learn how lo handle major equipment such as the Jaws of Life.

"We don'l burn down old houses (for training), ll's a little bit dlfll-cult to tell people you can'l burn your leaves and we're going to go oul and burn houses down," Fire Chief /Whur Lenagh'an said. "The most cenlra'l component lo our . operations Is training,"

If the fire building bond Issue passes, a mlllage rate of 0.11 will

jklck in an annual lax of $5.50 for the oivncr of a $100,000 house.

Staffing remains a concern for the Novl Fire Department. Lenaghan said it Is uncertain If the cily could recruit a large enough paid-on-call firefighters lo mn Ave nre stations. The pald-on-call force nils in on evenings and weekends, while full-Ume (Ire prottctlon offi­cers take the Monday through Fri­day day shWts.

Recently, wilh 2 l pald-on-call vacancies to fill, the departmeni mailed oul l 1,000 advertising fiy­ers to lure In new reerults and 40 applicants responded

Could we staff a fifth station? I think it would be rather difflcull," Lenaghan said. "The old Norman

Rockwell idea of the guy running oul of the barber shop and the grocer running out of the store and getting on the fire engine Isn't there any more."

The citizens committee conclud­ed Ihat Ihc current Fire Slatlon Number Four Is Inadequate. The building, constructed in 1984. Is located at 25804 Beck Road, near Eleven Mile Road.

Al 2,445 square feel. Station No. Four is considerably smaller than the olher three. At the time, it cost the cily $210,000 10 build.

Stations No. Two and No. Three arc 3,500 square feet, while the main department headquarters. Fire Station No. One Is 10.200 square fed.

The idea is that nol only will bc a new nre slatlon in the Ten Mile and Wlxom Road area to hetter serve west Novl. but In the long run it could provide a cosl savings by cllniinatlng the operating costs ofa fifth station. In building a new station, the clly would also need lo acquire the land lo pul It on.

What won't be needed Is addi­tional fire equipment. The clly \vlll only need the slaff and trappings for four, rather lhan five fire sta­tions. A fifth station, if buUt, would require an additional fire engine and rescue truck for $300,000.

Al present, on weekdays two fire protection officers work al Fire Slatlon Four.

"It was never Intended for stafilng. We had to Install lockers and showers. There are no female (firefighter) facilities." Lenaghan said.

CurTenlly, Novl uses a training tower in Farmlngton to help edu­cate the firefighters. But to do so, a fire station must he shut down while the crew Is In the neighbor­ing communily.

"That has not been the besl annngemenl," Lenaghan said.

If voters approve lhe plan for a new Slatlon Four, the training cen­ter might he Uiere, or it could be in the city's Department of Public Works yard on Delwal Drive, near Eleven MUe Road.

If voters approve the bond, the old fire station four would likely he used as a maintenance buiiding for the city's Parks and Re:realloii Departmeni, City Manager Ed Krtcwall said.

State representatives In Michi­gan were more polarized this year than usual, according to ratings from three organlzaUons.

This was parlicularly true of western Oakland County and Liv­ingston- County lawmakers. Republicans scored low on liberal scales. Democrats high.

The most comprehensive ratliig was done by Inside Michigan Poll-

.;fics. a Lansing poUUcal newsletter "'cdlted/by former Republican legls-. '.lator BiU Ballenger. In Its systein. a perfect conservative voting record received a zero, a perfect liberal 100.

IMP considered 29 roll call votes on eveiythlng from hills to confer­ence reports to amendments. For example, it considered a hill to tighten requirements for written consent for payroll deductions to unions - favored by liberals, opposed by conservatives. A vote to lower the minimum age for waiving juveniles to adult courts was considered conservative; a vote against, liberal..

Ballenger said state representa­tives were more polarized than usual Uifs year because of Repub­licans' razor-Uiln (56-541 conhol of the House for the first time In ttirce decades. IMP made the same finding as this newspaper did In the school reform hills - that freshmen hi each party were elUier more conservaUve or more Uheral Uian senior members.

IMP said Democrats had an overall score of'69. Republicans 9. Here is how area lawmakers were rated:

Willis Bullard (now a senator), R-Mllford, zero.

Dan Gustafson, R-Wllllamston, 3.

Gerald Law. R-PlyniouUi. 15. Tom MIddlcton, R-OrtonvlUe, 11. Susan Munsell. R-Howell. 12.5. Kirk Profit. D-VpsilanU, 67. on thc Michigan Chamber of

Commerce's Index. 100 was a per­fect pro-business score.

The chamber used 23 roll calls. Uu-ec of Uicm on Senate BIU 344, a reform of product liability laws that, in general, would make It tougher to sue manufacturers. Hie chamber also Included cuts Iri the • single huslness tax and repeal of Uie Intangibles lax.

Area lawmakers' rankings: Bullard. 95; Gustafson. 91; Law. 86; Middleton. 91; Munsdl, 95; and Profit, 30.

Clean Water AcUon. a Democrat­ic-leaning environmental group, generally deplored the Legisla­ture's performance. CWA also noted the House was "dramaUcally spUt along party fines," Democrats averagmg 81 percenL Republicans 4.

The results "emphasize huslness Interest over environmental protec-tlon,,allow state environmental agencies ,to conduct business behind closed doors without publlc accountability, dump cieaiiup costs for pollution caused by kriown polluters on die state's tax­payers, and encourage poUu'teis to. keep secret from communities Information about environmental crimes U i ^ have committed."

Here Is how it ranked area law­makers: -'-

BuUard and Munsell, 13. . Gustafson, Law and Middleton,

zero. FYoilt, 75

p e a t h , p l e a s ,By TIM RICHARD .Stall Wrter '; As Oakland County prosecutor, Rcpuhllcan Dave Gorcyca would ;ccasc trying to prosecute Dr. Jack Kevorkian for assisting suicides bntli the Legislature pa,sscd a netv law. Democrat Steve Kaplan also •would quit chasing "Dr. Death' but ijrefcrs to regulate raUicr lhan out­law asslsUng suicide. . Doth would do more plca-har-gaining lhan outgoing prosecutor iUchard Thompson, hut Gorcyca would would refuse to bargain a longer list of offenses Uian Kaplan. i Kaplan, 43, of West Bloomfleld, says he has belter credentials -- 10 years lu the Macomb prosecutor's office versus Gorcyca's three In Oakland: 160 jury trials versus Gorcyca's six; longer service In local government; 40 articles In icgi-jl Journals and 14 homicide hl-iils versus none for Gorcyca.

But II was Gorcyca who In die Aug. 6 Rcpuhllcan primary toppled Tlioinpson after eight contentious years as a hard-nosed prosecutor. Gorcyca Is seeking lo dress himself 111 the "vlcllm's advocate" cloak that L. Brooks Patterson wore In 1373-88. • They were Interviewed Sunday on Channel 7's "Spotlight on News" program. A condensed Iran script:

• Gorcyca (R): "ll's a leglslallve Issue, nol a prosecutorial Issuc.^ '• g. That's interesting hecauie Brooks Patterson (now county executive) said Thompson 'shouid have asked for a better law. . Woidd you want a better iaw to prosecute assisted suicide, or Just iegaiize and regulate it? . Gorcyca (R): "Cm not going to take a poslllon on It. It's the prose­cutor's function to enforce the law. not make It. There arc two Icglsla-'Uvc hills pending - one to make It a four-year felony, lo ban assisted suicide: the other lo place It on the ballot or legalize It. 1 wlli enforce jwhatevcr-lnwvthe-Legislature, enacts"'

Kaplan (D): "Since Juries will not convict Dr. Kevorkian, Us fuule to have such a law making assisted suicide iitcgai.

Bv TIM RICHARD Stall Writer

Candidates for lhe Michigan Supreme Court can't campaign much, hut this year other poliUcal interests are doing the DghUng for them.

The result Is a scries of attack ads as savage as in a congression­al race. The Issues are liability lawsuits and money.

The Supreme Court Ilself. In 1974. wrote highly restrictive canons of conduct. Says Canon 7: 'A candidale. Including an Incuin-henl Judge, for a Judicial office ... should nol make pledges or promises of conduct In ofllce olher than the faithful and Impartial performance of the duties of ofllce.'

The result has been wooden campaigns between candidates in black suits or robes, all stressing fairness and experience. Voicrs arc so poorly Informed thai one-third

• never bother voting for Supreme Court, and only aboul 7 percent can even Identify a Justice In a non-election year.

This year the Michigan Chanlhcr of Commerce, aided by defendant corporations, is doing Its best to help Republican nominees. Chief JusUcc James Drlckley, 67, of Tra­verse Clly, and Oakland Circuit Judge Hilda Gage. 57.

The Michigan Association of Trial Lawyers and organized labor

help DcmociaUc hopefuls, William Murphy, 51. of Grand Rapids, and Marilyn J . Kelly, 58. of Bloomfleld mils, both Judges on the Court of Appeals, die second highest court.

Meanwhile, a couple of other candidates could be spoilers for the mtijor party nominees, Jessica Cooper, an Oakland circuit Judge who Irled but failed to get support In Democratic circles. Is running an independent campaign. Jeriy J . Kaufman, a Libertarian, Is making his third bid for Ihe Supreme Court after running fourth (ahead ofa Democratic nomhice) in 1988.

Under Michigan's quirky law. most candidalcs are nominated by pollUcal parties but run on a non­partisan ballot.

THE TORT ISSUE Tlie chamber started it. President James Barrett wrote in

its magazine that business was tired of seeing tort reforms passed by a pro-business (read; Republi­can! governor and Legislature hut Junked hy appellate courts.

lis complaint Is that appellate courts are too free wiUl other folks' money In allowing plaintiffs lo sue for injuries, with "greedy" trial lawyers collecting onc-UiIrd of die awards.

Its ads attack Murphy and Kelly without mentioning Brlekley and Gage. One ad features the case of a hockey player who sued die Icc

rink for a puck Injury and a woman who complained of sexual abuse 41 years after lhe evenl. Murphy and Kelly favored letting the eases go to trial.

"Let the Jury decide.' say trial lawyers, who resist any effort lo cap "pain and suffering" awards, the khid of "expert" wiuiesses who can bc used and limits on their fees. "Walt 'til you arc Injured some day," Uiey add.

Democratic chair Mark Brewer replied Uiat tlie chamber, through Ils Justice for Michigan Cilizens pohUcal action committee. Is trying lo "huy control of lhe Michigan Supreme Court."

Murphy, the first Democratic nominee, Is a former president of Uie Michigan Trial Lawyers Associ­ation, the hobgoblins of business and health care providers. HIS 1996 litcralure, however, buries Uiat fact, instead, Murphy's cam­paign pushes better management of Uie criminal docket

In his acceptance speech. Mur­phy departed from his text to remind Democratic delegates his sisler 'Is a proud member of the MEA (Michigan EducaUon .Assocla-Uon).'

Kelly's quest for the nomination su-esscd her lalwr support.

THE MONET ISSUE Both side have made an Issue of

how die oUiergels Its money.

The chambers' PAC. justice for Michigan's Citizens, says "more than 88 percent of all Uic\nioncy raised so far hy Murphy .,. has come from Ulal laivyers." ^ \ .

it singles out Son'|mers, Schwartz. Silver and Schwartz, a SouUiDcld law (Irm, for raising 33 percent of Murphy's money as of Labor Day and personal injury lawyer Ue Slcinherg (as in "Call Lee for Free') for donating up lo llie llnill.

"More lhan 90 percent of the contributions lo his (Murphy's) campaign are.from trial lawyers." added GOP chair Betsy DoVos on Ocl. 11.

Democrallc chair Mark Brewer says the chamber Is dodging the campaign finance law and dou-hllng lis contrihuUoiis by creating die second PAC. Jusllce for Michi­gan's ClUzens. • ,

In a fornL-d complaint to the Sec­retary of State, Brewer said the chamber is largely In control of Uic second PAC.

Brlekley, Gage. Murphy and Kelly remain quietly above the fray, letting the special Inleresis and parUsans do Uie heavy work.

Because one-third of Michigan voters fail to vote for Supreme Court justices, an Independent candidale has ample opportunity lo challenge a major parly nomi­nee.

Here is an outline of tlie state Ixjilof proposals on (he Wou. 5 bal-lof;

PROPoSALA; P0Lrr1CALBIl<tK) A "yes" vote wiii: I^ohlblt poUl-

Ical parUcs and candidates from conducting Bingo games as fundraisers. (Churches and chari­table groups would still be allowed io conduct games.)

Sought by! Democrats, who seek a "no" vote to overturn a 1994 Republican-passed bUI In the Legislature. Party organizations, inosily Democratic, have been raising $30 million io $40 million a year. Democrats argue that politi­cal activity Is a perfectly proper use for Bingo proceeds, lessening the parties' dependence on lobby­ists and corporate backers.

oppenenta say: IBlngo players are duped Into supporting Demo­cratic organlzaUons. Partisan Bin-gos divert money from churches and chariUes. The numher of Bln-gos would be little affected hecause political organizations account for only 5 percent of the take:

PROPOSAL B: QUALIFIED JUDGES A "yes" vote wlii: Amend the

Michigan Conslftution to require lhat Judicial candidates be licensed attorneys for at least live years. Currcntly, thc ConsUtutlon requires only that diey he licensed and may not run after reaching age 70.

Sought by: Thc Legislature, which put thc proposal on thc bal­lot by a two-thirds vote of each chamber. Purpose is to assure Judges have legal experience before deciding others' cases. Supporters say inexperienced "name" candi­dates, fresh from law school, have been winning Judicial elecUons on bedsheet ballots, notably In Wayne Counly.

Opponents say: Thc proposal doesn't guarantee experienced because It says a candidate need only be "licensed" five yciirs. A smart candidaie wiUi four years of experience In major l l l lgatlon would be excluded from die ballot. No group, however, has openly opposed Uie proposals.

PROPOSAL C: VETS' TRUST FUND A "yes" vole wiii: Amend the

Michigan Constitution to prohibit Uie fund from being used for any-Uilng but emergency grants to mil­itary veterans, their widows or

dependents. Sought by: The Legislature,

which established the fund at $50 million in 1946 but has bon-owed from It during thc economic down­turns of 1959:and l976.

Opponents say: No known opposlUon has developed. Inlellec-tually. It can bc argued that thc Legislature Is tytag its own hands and making tax increases more necessary during economic down-turns. Most of the fund that was borrowed was used for veterans' programs anyivay.

PROPOSAL D: BEAR RESTR1CT10NS ISee also Proposal C Ixhw.) A "yes" vote wiU: Prohibit the

useofbaitpUes and dogs for hunt-hig black bear In Michigan. It also will shorten thc bear season to Uiree weeks hi September.

Sought by: CUB (ClUzens Unit­ed for Bear), mainly Upper Penin­sula landowners who sec It as a method of stopping trespassing. They contend hunters hatlhig dogs wllh radio collars Ignore "posted" signs and tlireaten those who tell Uicm to leave. AnU-hunUng animal rights groups also are backing ft.

(>pponentf My: See i^oposal 0 below.

PROPOSAL E: DETROIT CASiI«OS A "yes" vote wiii: Amend state

law to allow casino gamblhig other than on Indian reservaUons. The legal delhiltlon Ills only thc city of Detroit, which would hc allowed diree casinos. Tlie proposal would set up a Ilve-memher State Gam­ing Commission appointed by the governor, l i would end whal is in effect an Indian monopoly on casi­nos.

Sought by: Dchoit, where voters rejected casino proposals four times between 1976 and 1993. Backers say Casino Windsor, in Ontario, Is attracting 19,000 cus­tomers a day, 76 percent from Uie U,S. An 18 percent hut on casinos' gross wouid be split iviUi 55 per­cent going to Uic cily, 45 percent lo Uie school aid fund. The propos­al was placed on Uie ballot by Uie

Legislature. Opponents say: (Jambllng pro­

duces no useful products, lures Uie weak Inlo debt and bankrupt­cy, and robs society of moral fiber. The bill is written lo give preferen-Ual heatmenl lo Uiose who already have applied for casino licenses.

PROPOSAL G: GAME lAANAGEMENT (The opposKe of Proposal D.

atxjtx] A "yes" vole WiU: Anicnd stale

law lo designate Uic slate Natural Resources Commission as Uie sole authority to regulate all hunUng, including bear - called "sclentUlc management" by supporters.

Sought by: The Legislature, which passed PA 377 of 1996 as a counter-measure to Proposal D, and supported by Michigan United ConservaUon Clubs. They say Uie ballot box Is a poor way to manage

wildlife populaUons, Michigan has iO,000 hearstihe stale receives-26,000 appiicalions for licenses and issues about 6,400 licenses. Actual kil l : 1,500. Of these, 95 percent are taken Uirough die use of bait piles and/or dogs. That's a 33 percent success rale compared to only 10 percent among hunters who stalk. Supporters fear Uiat if Proposal D becomes law, the "anUs" will seek to ouUaw all hunt-tag hi Michigan.

Opponenti My: See Proposal D above. In addiUon. opponents say the claims Uiat bears are danger-ous lo human beings is wildly exaggerated.

D versus G If voters say yes to boUi, Uie pro-;

posal with the most yes votes becomes law. If voters reject hoUi, then Uic director of Uie DNR con-Unues lo regulate bear hunUng.

E l e c t i o n s e a s o n a l m o s t o v e r

Cassis the best choice for state House post The toughest part of the choice In

selecting among thc candldalcs for Ihe 38lh s ta le Mouse of i?eprescntativcs dislriet is remembering to vote twice ... that's right vole twice.

The scat Is up once for the coming two-year ie r in , as Is Ihe no rm. B u l there Is also a race wilh Ihe same can­didates for the lame ducit session of the ieglslature this fall. Tlie situation arose because of Ihe promotion of 13111 Bullard from the House district to the slate Senate In a special election earli­er this year. To fil l (he scat for the Imporlant two months af lcr Ihe elec­tion ni ls year, before tlic new lawmak­ers are sworn In Ihls January, the sec­ond election is on the baiiot. Ofeourse, that race i nc ludes the same cand i ­dates.

Fac ing o f f for th is t w o - y c a r - p i u s ierni in the IVIIchigan House of Rcpre-scnlal ives Is polltfcai newcomer Gary Johnson of Mllford and Nancy Cassis, veteran Novi City Counci l member.

Ciear iy the choice goes to N A N C Y CASSIS.

Cassis has been active In iocai poil-tlcs a long time. Siie ran for Novl City Council in 1985 and served two terms. Site l i ien ran for Novl mayor, but was defeated. A n d then she was reelected lo cl ly counci l is 1995, There can be illlie doubt slie knows the iocai Issues, She Is well aware of what the district needs. Cass is has thc best command of the iocai issues. She knows the peo-pie here; and she knows their views.

C a s s i s h a s a lso been invo ivcd in regionai po i i l l c s . through her work wilh the Soulheast Michigan Counc i i of Governments. She has deait there w i th r e g i o n a i p i a n n i n g a n d road issues. S h e has experience dea i ing with educat ion Ihrough her employ­ment as a school psychologist for the Novl Communi ty School District.

She's well-connected with state party

E L E C T I O N

ofllclais, connections she'll need when slie gets lo l.anslng If slie Is to be effec­tive. Frankly, sonic of llie key Issues for the coinmunilies of the 38t l i state tlouse dlstrlcl - sucl i as road upkeep and development, as well as lax policy - will require use of those conneclions. She'll no l only liave lo be in contact \vllh lop stale officials, she'll have to wield some Iniiuence ivitli theni.

Again, we'll make a pilch lo Cassis, urging her to recruit local residents to apply for appointive positions al the stale level, and then lo campaign for them up in Lansing, Cel l ing people In posillons of power there Is one of Ihe bes l ways thc city can Increase its Influence on stale and regional pol l -lies.

Finally, wc believe her views match most consis lenl iy wit i i those held i iy the majority of voters in this district. She tends lo be conserv'alive.

We've had our differences with Cas­sis over time, of course. Even so. Cas­sis has a lways worked to keep the lines of communication open with her political opponents. Site works i iard at taking input, an important trait for a s late representa t ive who serves in L a n s i n g where c o n s t i t u e n t s don ' t always have the ready access to pubiic officials that tliey do at the locai level.

Cass is Is Ihe best choice here. She lias Ihe experience. She's proven her­self over time. And she's ready to take on the state legislature.

A lew random notes from thc editor's desk ...

IT 'S A L M O S T O V E R : By compar i son , cover ing tlie actual eiccl lon Is aliuost a cake walk. it 's, pre-election coverage lhat wears us news­paper people dovvn.

Few t i l ings a newspaper can do are more Important, .so vie Journalist types don'l mind a llltle extra efforl cov­ering campaigns. St i l l . It Is nice when Il's finished.

We tried some new tilings liere al llle paper, improvemenls we hope to thc way we nonnaily cover elections. For one. we concenlrat-ed on llle locai races, whicli Include the congres­sional (iislricl. Ihc slate liouse .seat, cnunty comniis-sloncr and the local ballot questions. By empiiasiz-iiig these over coiinty-wific offices and slate ballot questions - exlcjislveiy covered In oilier media - wc hoped lo give better local coverage.

Among Ihc clilfcrences were bigger. Iieller election grids and stories that attempted to spell out for renders what tiie gist of liie race was. That allowed us lo bc a bit more pointed about the way we wrote ahout Ihe races, iiopefully lielping voters lo undcr­sland their choices better.

I Ihougiil I saw an Improvement in Ihe election covei-iige nils yeai'. but that's froiu my viewpoint. Iteidcrs inlghl have ;i dllfcieiil take... and of course Iheir comments and suggestions are welcomed. Hopefully, we can get even better the next l ime arouiid.

NO BYES: You may-have noticed an unusual grid

and story about District Court Judge Br ian MacKcn-zte's unopposeti bid for rcclccllon. Usually newspa­pers Ignore the uncontested seats s ince li won't make any difference anyivay. Bu l Executive Editor Phil Jerome siiggesled we should put unchallenged candidates on the record regarding l i ieir views nny-wiiy. Oppo.scd or not. Ihey should have to answer lo the pubiic anyway. They sliould have lo give Ihelr positions on the Issues. And who knows, the scruti­ny might Just lead lo fulure challenges hi elections d o ™ thc road. Periiaps a reader will see something In lhat coverage he or slie disagrees wit l i . Iii any case, readers wi l l l ikely sec more of this in the future. Again, feedback Is welcome.

F L A G C O N T R o V E R S y : Is Ihc Amer i can flag beeoining a controversial symbol? It certaliily seems to be. Planners decided recently lo add restrictions on the size and how many flags businesses could lly at tlieir buildings, and the reaction from some lias become absolutely venomous.

Keep in niind why the plamiers have done this. Businesses in other eoinmimitics. faced wilh reslrlc: lions on Ihc types of signs they could put up. have decided lo attract attention to their locations by fly­ing treincndous numbers of American flags, or flying really big Hags.

I doubt any of thc members of the planning com- • mission really want to curtail the flying of the Ameri­can flag. And I hardly see it as patriotic for a busi­ness lo coopt l l ie American flag for i ts own crass commercial purposes.

Three bond proposals on ballot for general election When Novl voters go to the polls

Nov. 5 to m a k e dec is ions about presidential arid congressional can­didates, they'l l also be confronted with three city bondli ig proposals -bonding proposals that .wiii equate to a totai o f i . l new mi i i s to be paid based on the vaiue of i h c i r homes. '

The bonds are designed to pay for construct ion and signaiization on Novi area roads , renovat ion and e x p a n s i o n of the Nov i P o i l c e Depariment bu i id ing. and reioca-tion of Novi's F;ire Station No. 4.

if Novi voters approve ai i three mliiages it would cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $55 bucks per year. S ince most homeowners these days pay their taxes through escrow accounts attached to their mortgages, the resul t ing Increase would be see as a Jump of $4.58 In their payment each month.

R O A D B O N D At 0.86 mil ls.- i ts the most costiy

o f t h e three; But the most c o m -peiiing need in Novi for infrastruc-ture improvements is the need f o r . more, and better roads. Novi roads can get backed up pretty heavi iy during rush hour as Nov) residents leave town i n the m o r n i n g a n d return home at night. " '^And- l f there 's any doubt; about that. ' ta l tei note of the f iasco that oc( iu r red:^when9Nov i R o a d w a s

Ibsed- for r e c o n s t r u c t i o n acfew

short weeks ago. Surrounding area roads were v i r tua i i y g r id iocked. ineiuding Haggerty. Meadowbrook and Beck. The closure of a singie roadway Just shouid not have had that kind of impact.

Fortunatciy, several, of the pro­jects in the iist of improvements to be made f r om t h i s b o n d i s s u e addressed the need for north-south roadways through the Wailed Lake area; the extension of Taft Road north of Tweive Miie aiong with the reconstruction of West Road, and the paving of Meadowbrook Road from Tweive to Thirteen Miie,

; Tliose two improvements coupied wi th the fi irther extension of M-5 w i l l finaiiy provide nor thern Novi with the necessary traffic capacity.

For years the Waiied Lake area of Novi has suffered inadequate road­ways. Frankiy , t h c i a c k of north-south thoroughfares has pushed tremendous traffic loads unto what were originaiiy intended to be resi­dent ia l roadways l ike E a s t Lake Drive and South Lake Drive. Resi­dents there have .suffered long \vith heavy traffic ioads and have heard

. a number of proposals for address­ing the probieiii, but nothing short of providing aiternatlve routes wiii truly resoive the IsSue.

Also on the l ist o f road projects Is a sect ion o f thc Crescent Boule­v a r d , t h e . r i n g road a r o u n d the Tmvn Center area. Speclllcally this

portion of the project would provide a bypass for the Novi Road-Grand River in tersect ion, one of Novi 's worst. The project would provide a second route in and out of the Novi Expo Center, which can get pretty congested at times, it would also provide large trucks with a better way of west on Grand River from southbound Novi Road. Currently, that corner is hard to negotiate for large trucks, which further balls up the trafllc at that Intersection,

Addit ional ly the bond will pro­v ide much needed s igna i i za t ion in te rsec t ion improvements at a number of other iocations. It wi i i pay for pavement work on a num­ber of subdivision roads.

We th ink th i s is a wor thwhi ie p r o p o s a l . Nov i voters have expressed time and again the need for improvements to Novl's roads. The county Road Commission and the state Depa r tmen t of T r a n s ­portat ion are prov id ing no help. Road bonds have worked in the past and we expect this wiii too.

The big quest ion Is whether or not these are the correct roads to be inciuded in the iist. According to the city manager, Ed Kriewaii, the road projects included were specifi­cal ly chosen because they are not likely to be eligibie for stale or fed­e r a l g ran t m o n e y . It p u t s . t h e emphasis on locai roads/

Therefore, ive urge a 'YES vote.

P o U C E D E P A R T M E N T BOND Our p r ima iy gripe with the two

remain ing bond Issues has to do with how they ivere placed on thc ballot. D ie Wotii News has asked for a h e a r i n g be fo re i h e p u b l i c to decide what bond issues shouid be the priorities for placement on the ballot. And there are many projects tha t po ten t ia l l y c o u l d . S t i l l , no s u c h hear ing has been he ld . We sti l l think one should be before any more bonds are sought.

Nonetheless, there are real needs for repa i r a n d e x p a n s i o n of the police department bui id ing. if not addressed now. wi i i Ihey wii i have lo be sometime In the future. '

THE NOVI NEWS-Ttiursday, Oclober 31,1996-21A

Process infested by special interests As th is year ' s

po l l l l ca l . season comes down to the last few 20-second spot-Infested days, lny own t h i n k i n g keeps circling back to one th ing ; Money, the moth­er's milk ofpoihics.

I've never seen so much money spent on so many differ­ent races.

It's the millions being poured into the U.S. Senate and congressional contests throughout Michigan. It's Ihc hundreds of thousands of dollars being spent in Michi­gan on the various stale and local ballot proposals. Nationally, best estimates are that something like $1 bi l l ion Is being spent on the presidential race alone.

Numbers like lhal tend to bring out the cynic In me.

Frankly. 1 doubt thai much money is being spent solely for Idealism or In pas­sionate conviction that paragraph 2(b) in the party platform Is really worth It. Big money Is going to be put up by smart peo­ple only if they see a big payoff quite clear­ly In the near future.

We certainly have succeeded In creating the ulllmately efficient political system. Shorn of the inconvenience of polit ical parlies pulling ordinary people into loose coalitions, we have erected a politics in which wealthy interest groups - whether labor unions or trial lawyers, whether developers or conservationists - conlend

directly Ibr the Iniiuence and wealth that arise as the result of governmental acts.

As evidence, conshler this year's con­tests to nil thc two posts on thc Michigan Supreme Courl.

T ime was. Judicial campaigns rotated around a m].\ture of name ID (in Ihese parts, Irish helps.) and judicial pliilosophy (whatever lhat means and juridical tem­perament.

No longer. Four of the candidates for l l ic court - all sane and sciislble people - find themselves sadly positioned as pawns for conflicting Interest groups.

The Michigan Trial Lawyers Association has thrown Its cons iderab le muscle behind one of Its own. Court of Appeals Judge Wi l l iam Murphy, a Democrat ic nominee. As of Ihe most recent campaign finance report. Murpliy had raised some $375,000 for Ihls campaign. Of this, niore than $100,000 eame from donations from members of one Southfield law firm. Som-niers. Schwartz. Silver and Schwartz.

This despite the nalve-sounding advice on campaign fundralslng put out by the State Bar of Michigan; "a (candidate) com­mittee may accept unsolicited contribu­tions ... provided lhat the contributions are not so large as to give an appearance of attempting to bias the candidate In the contributor's favor."

Ignoring the slightly contrary- lo-faci qualities Inherent In the adjective "unso­licited. Just which law firm Is entitled to the presumpt ion of b ias before thc Supreme Court If Judge Murpliy were to be elected?

To be sure, bolh Rcpubiican-nomlnalecl

candidates. Chief Justice James Brlckley and Oakland Circuit Judge, Hilda Gage, hai'c also raised money from political com­mittees. The Michigan Bankers Associa­tion ($10,000 per caiidldate). the Michigan Chamber of Commerce ($5,000 each) and a coalit ion of hospital groups (SlO.OOO each) are hardly in the business of tossing big checks around with no expect[illon of a benign outcome.

Wllh all of this stuff going on. a cynic miglil suggest thai our legal system could reach hitherto unlmagined efficiency if each legal brief submitted to our Judges also were to include an indication of how much special interest PACs and which lawyers and law firms contributed to their campaigns . Then at least the donors would bc belter able to correlate the provi­sion of justice to the extent of campaign contributions.

Obviously, that's a low blow. I've known Justice Brickley and Appeals Judge Mari­lyn Jean Kelly (the olher Democratic nomi­nee) for years and respect enormously tlieir thoughtfulness and Integrity. Judge Murphy and,Judge Gage, too, have fine reputations.

But their abll l ly to convince ordinary people that llie application of the law is Impartial and fair Is being sorely Jeopar­d ized by our po l l l l ca l system that is Increasingly - and sadly - infesled with Ihe taint of special Interest money.

Phil Power is chairman oJ the compantj lhal owns this newspaper. His Touch-Tone voice mail number is (313) 953-2047 ext. 1880.

Bond proposal lacilitating' developer ; To Iheedltor: : Well, you haven't "heard" from ; me lln print) in some time. Mr. '• IWalotl chooses not to print tlie

numerous letters 1 send to him. I : haven't gone anywhere, and 7 as ; hefore - nobody wants to listen.

Let mc address the proposed ' Road Bond Program '96. These arc : my comments and thoughts as a , 26-year resident of this illustrious ; city. West Raid shouki have heen

redone or at least slightly improved through the past several years. Suddenly ... someone has noticed a 231-honie subdivision (Bristol Corners) Is heing huilt and ... we have to help the developer "facilitate" his monetary goal.

Taft Road "extension" - What a Joke. Wasn't this approved in the last"roa'd"bond Issue'whch"the Lakes Area was told we "... would stand-to gQin.more than any other area in the city ..." I didn't realize Eleven Mile was considered in thc "north" end. We were assured at that time by the powers that he that if we supported the last road bond issue - via signing a peiltion - it would be a \vln/win situation for us. Thc only thing wc got was the existing Decker Road widened between Thirteen and Fourteen Mile, and we had to fight, fight, bitch, and tight to get what was promised us.

Crescent Boulevard; Why are we paying for the benefit of develop­ers? I would hope someday to have a developer that says to us. "We can do this for you." Not. what are you going to do for me?

Now let's take a quick jog over to Meadowbrook. Our "dedicated, scenlcally beautiful road" - If the Novl Road widening to five lanes that ties-in with tire developer's paid for five lane Decker Road works, and If the M-5 continua­tion, north to at least Fourteen Mtle. is to do whai everyone has told us it will do. to relieve trafllc. then vvhy are vve even considering paving Meadowbrook between Tivelve and Thirteen Mile, to the tune of $2,750 million? We have fought for so many years to try to preserve this stretch of road; to now allow JCK & Associates to clear-cut. destroy, and "eemcnt-clty" a valued treasure Is a shame. The paving of Meadowbrook at this time is a little premature or does the "Old Boy Network" consider Meadowbrook another Eleven Mile Road?

I think the,-kicker" in this whole scenario has to do with the "suhdi- .

L e t t e r s

vision {ieneral" estimale of S2.5 million for road repairs, rehabilita­tion, ond resurfacing of roads "yd to be determined." We alrea<ly pay a dedicalcd one mill to the "illajor" slreet fund which historically cov­ers these same "gencrar issues. If the Charter mliiages on road issues need to be addressed, so be it. And ... we will have to correct charter Issues to ensure cnoufjh money Is on hand to control gener­al maintenance and reconstruc­tion. To me, this S2.5 million is a "slush" fund lo control the Inade-

..quacies of .whoever the roali bond estimates. If the aljocadon has no

.direction, it may be used as the city sees fit. Sad ... and scary ... isn't It?

To you, the Ten Mile "fluerrilias," I don't see anything in this bond Issue to address any of your prob­lems in your pari of the "Jungle." You did such a lovely presentation on thc Ten Mile corridor - why isn't the city listening lo your peti­tion? I would think your sugges­tions, regarding major corridors, should be addressed In this bond Issue.

It appears lO nie that the bond issues proposed at this point In time do not specifically address any of the concerns and needs brought forward by any group of citizens In the past several years, with the exception of Taft Road. And my only comment to that Is. our lllustrioils city cannot give us - the lakcs-enders - Taft road where It is actually needed, but prefers to give us, the hxvpayers, a golf course.

I don't think It will surprise any­one that I am voting "no" on Road Bond 1996. and suggest you do the same. Don't Just take my word for It. Take the time to review tile materials, and ask the city admin­istration how it will benefit John g. Public? Then, make your own decision.

To the editor: Organizations like thc Michigan

United Conservation Clubs are screaming about ballot ProposaJ

D. the effort of anti-hunting groups to restrict bear hunting melhods by banning the use of radio-coll a red dogs and baiting. To defeat thc proposal in the Novem­ber election, sportsmen's groups are appealing lo the eiilollons of Mlchlganders by asking theill to vote "no" to "preserve our wildlife heritage." They claim, if Proposal D passes, thc existence of a Domino Thcoiy: first restrict bear huntilig. then deer hunling. then Ice fisll-Ing, and so on.

So what? says the average . metropolitan Delroiter who.Only

Joins Ihe Up North Exodus twice a year for a weekend of water skiing and flidge shopping. It would he more convincing for sportsmen's clubs to outline how Proposal D. If passed, would damage the Michi­gan economy.

Although bear hunters only con­stitute a small percentage of Michigan's total hunting popula­tion, they do lcpresent a portion of Michigan's Ihlivllig tourism Indus--try. Their presence In small upper Michigan towns is fell economical­ly. By restricting bear huntfiig methods, hunters have less of a chance d( harvesting their quarry. Thai lneans less people will hunt bears, and less hunters means a decline In business for towns In Michigan's Ijear hunting regions.

Hunters rent cabins and motel rooms and go out to eat. They sometimes pay regional guides to lead their hunt. They buy necessi­ties like gas and food as well as balteries, ammunition, clothes, dog food, firewood, and so forth. The money hunters spend directly contributes to the livelihood of many llpper Michigan residents. If Proposal D were passed, tlic num­ber of Micliigan families receiving general assistance from Lansing would doLlbtlessly Increase. Michi­gan taxpayers all over (he state, hunters and non-hunters, would be affected.

A reslrlclion of bear hunting methods also means an increase in the bear population. An adull male beal-'s natural range can bc as large as GO miles. Thc finite amount of natural available food would force bears into areas Inhabited by humans. The number of unfriendly human/bear encoun­

ters would escalate, as would bear related auto accidents.- This could translate Into an increase in insur­ance rales which would also affect all Michiganders.

Ustly. the salary and training of conser\'allon officers is paid with taxpayer money. The stale wollld need to hire more ofllces to control a larger bear population and deal with unfriendly encounters, and lhat means more money would need Id be spcnh

The Department of Natural Resources scientifically manages Michigan's bear population. In 1990. It began a hunting permit system that allows a fixed number of people lo obtain bear hunting penults. If the nulnbcr of hunters applying for permits exceeds thc DNR'sflxed number, a'lottery Is held to determine who gels them. The DNR also relies on hunters to contribute lo ongoing bear research and to help control thc population. For instance, thc results of .the 1996 bear hunting season will help to determine thc number of permits that will bc Issued in 1997.

Besides bears, the effective wildlife management system has been used to Increase and protect the state populations of elk. moose, salmon, turkeys, and pfne martens. Citizens United for Bears, People for the Elhical Treat­ment of Animals and other anti-hunting groups seek to remove bear managemenl* from the proven and capable offices of the DNR. Il Is doubtful they considered the stale's economy while attempting to advance lllelr private agenda.

Hunling. fishing, and olher out-door sports are nol matters of ethics, but of economy. They are an integral part of Michigan's tourism industry. Regulations within the outdoor sports will fiuc-tuate with the populations of vari­ous species, but the sports them­selves will remain. PETA and CUB members need to get used lo it.

There is anolher proposal con­cerning wildlife management on November's ballot. Proposal G is called the Wildlife Act. and it sim­ply asks voters to keep wildlife management in the hands of the DNR. II does nol tinker with a sys­tem that works, and it does not threaten Michigan's economy. Vote no on D. yes on G. Wlielher or not you hunt bears, Proposal D endangers your economy.

Bonds will keep city premiere status ; To the editor; I Novl voters \vtll be deciding the • direction of three important bond : issues this coming Tuesday. The : three general obligation bond • Issues represent investments in : Infrastructure. Forlunalely. the ; residents' of Novi have continued ; to support communily needs that - have been demonstrated as impor-: tant to our quality of life. The three ; bond Issues that will he decided ' upon next week have met thc test '• of scrutiny by either the Police and : Fire CItlzeri Needs Committee or : the City Couneil. : , TTie first'bond Issue lo be decld-- cd relates;to our continual chal-- lenge of keeping up with the devel-: opment and improvement of trans-: portatton corridors. Novt presently - leads thc state In population I growth and It will he important ; Uiat'we conUnue to address trans-;.portaUon needs.. Our quality cf life i is obviously desirable lo everyone i that Is moving to our line city. In

order to assure that wc ivill he ahlc to get to our homes In reasonable time frames means that we have to meet the traffic ciiallenge head-on. We have heen very successful, as of late, in securing federal funding for roadway Improvements. Some of our roads will not qualify for federal funds and musl supported by our community. Those projects that are in thc proposed bond issue need to be funded locally.

The second bond Issue to be. decided is for the renovation and repair of the Novt police station. The Novt police staUon was huilt in i 930. when our population was 22.525. Since dial time, our popu­lation has nearly douhled. Fortu- _ nately. the police station was designed for expansion. The pro­posed bond Issue will complete the unfinished area of the building. In • addition, necessaiy repairs will be made. A training facility will be attached to the existing building and the repair garage ivtll receive

additional bays to handle the growlh of the department. This capital investment, in thc Novl Police Department shouid extend the life of the huilding through community build-out. in other words, there should not be any need to modify and expand this facility beyond what is before the voters. This is a necessaiy invest­ment that we must make.

The third bond issue to be decided next Tuesday Is the com­pletion of tlie capital building pro­gram for the Novl Fire Department. Thc prior fire department master plan called for a five-station com-'muntty service conflguralion. Based on changing standards and current community zoning config­urations, the follce and Fire Citi­zen Needs Committee has deter­mined that we can operate with a revised four-station plan: The, newly proposed fourth station wtll service an area In western Novt that originally was planned for five

stations. The older Station No. 4 will be turned over to the Parks and Recreation Department for Use as a badly needed repair and storage facility. The other compo­nent of the bond issue is to build a training facility. Our fire depart­ment has been utilizing the old City Hall on Novi Road as a train­ing facility. This building is sched­uled to he demolished \vithtn the next 30 days to provide a develop­ment site for thc new Main Street project. Both of these projects are necessary and wtll round out and complete our capital building plan Ihrough community build-out and ulUmate development.

Support of the above bond issues will assure that Novi wtll continue to be Michigan's premiere community.

Figgins has been doing this type of thing all his life. He grew up Just north ofFlint wllh a dad who always had a pulley system or air compressors with hoses set up for different scenes at Halloween.

When Figgins and his fiancee, Sue Lehnert, moved to Northville two yeai-s ago they saw the Northville Parks and Recreation Departnient fund-raiser as an oppor­tunity to meet people.

"We moved down here from up north, we didn't really know anyone and wanted to get involved in thc community," Fig­gins said, "Northville Parks and Rec was the Wily to go for us."

Lehnert had two sets at the Haunted Forest, an electric chair scene, which came in fourth place, and a Dr. Death

• Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein after creating the Idea during a ghost story telling competition between friends. Shelley, her husband Periiy, Lord Byron and Dr. John Polldori were on the shores of Lake Geneva, holed up In a home due to two weeks ol torrenfial rains. The group of wrrlers began a competition to

see who could tell the best ghost story. The Ilrst ideas lor vampire novels were born during these sessions and the llrsl vampire novel was wrilten by Polldori. It. is also believed these discussions led lo the creation of the more famous Bram Stoker's Dracula. How many know Frankenstein Is the name ol the doctor, not the name ol the monster?

• Alfred Hitchcock decided to film Psycho in black and white so that the blood • would not look so gory and one story goes he even thought about lilming in color except lor the 45 second shower scene, which would be shot in a more

A King's Eye View Modern day horror writer, Stephen King, says horror stories can be divided into two types; tales ol horror that result from an acl ol tree and conscious will - a con­sciousness lo do evil - and those where, while Ihe horror is predestinate, come from Ihe outside like a stroke ol lightening. There are three ways. King says, to express those horrors. One is the "gross out." The other Is a "dance" to push soci­ety's phobic pressure points. Writers and filmmakers can feed oil the nation's tears or a person's internal nightmares. King says he believes most ol Ihe attrac­tion lor horror is that it allows people to

express "antisocial" emotions and feelings that society demands be kept in check for e'./erybody's own good. For example, everyone feels anger and frustration bul can't go ahead and douse people with acid lor the sake oi revenge. The wriier also says horror lilms, especial­ly those which have a "happy" ending, can be calharlic, it's a way ol lariing a fear and seeing the fear conquered 'The answer seems to be that we make up honors to help us cope wilh real ones," writes King in Danse Macabre, his book on the history and altracllon of horror.

• times it is their only contact with the outside world,"

Karoub takes time to chat for a minute with each senior on his route. If they need a letter mailed or want the garbage taken out, he

is happy to oblige. "The meals are hot, so you caht

stay long," he said. "If you can do something quick and easily they really appreciate It.

"I am so glad I am doing it. It i makes my life busier," he said.. ;' "It's only an hour and a half out ' of the week. It is no big deal."

Pholo by HAL GOULD Harriet Berg dressed as Madame Cadillac for her talk to the Norlhville Woman's Club.

W o m e n l e a r n a b i t o f h i s t o r y

By CAROL WORKENS Slatf Writer

Harriet Berj - dancer, leacllcr. choreographer was the guesl speaker at tlic Norlllvilic Woman's Club on Oct. 18.

Berg received a grant from the Michigan Council for the Arts to reconstruct llic dances of thc early French settlers. In 1982 she founded thc Mine. Cadillac Dancers and Musicians of Detroit.

Along with Iler research on the dances, she began to Investigate who was Marie Therese Guyon Cadillac, known as Detroit's First Lady.

"We hear about Cadillac all the time, they named a car for him. We know hc founded Fort Ponlchar-traln. But who was Madame Cadil­lac?" said Berg, who came appro­priately atl/rcd (ii clothing similar to that worn by Madame Cadillac.

In the 17th century the French began the exploration of thc entire interior of what would later become the United States of America. Tiie English were on the Atlantic coast, the Spaniards were In thc Soulh.

Marie Therese Guyon Cadillac was born in 1671 just outside Quebec City, Her father, a wealthy merchant, and her mother, who was also from a wealthy-fiiInlly, were some of the first settfers to

" cometplhe;npwworld'iW*r643.'''''" "Little girls were dressed exactly

as adulls in those days and expected to be adults at a very early age," Berg said.

When Madame Cadillac's par­ents died, she became a ward of her uncle.

Her uncle told her that if she wasn't married by thc time she was 18 she would go back lo the convent where she had received her schooling.

"That's the way It was," Berg said, "Girls were married young, and very oflcn died in childbirth-Men had two or three wives."

Madame Cadillac was an inde­pendently wealthy young woman. She had been well bred with al! the skills of a fine French lady nnd knew how to cook. sing, and sew.

Madame Cadillac met her future husband. Antolne Launay dci^tMothe Cadillac, when she was IG or 17. Cadillac was an explorer, navigator, and founder of Fort Ponlchartrain du Detl-oit in 1701. Cadillac was an officer sent over by Louis XIV lo protect the French interests in the new world.

'Many say he was the model for the Three Musketeers, quick (em-pered. excellent swordsman, adventurous man. who calnc to seek his fortune In the new world," Berg said.

Madame Cadillac left to join her husband in Detroit In,October. She came In huge 35 foot long, four foot wide canoes wl thher two sons, ages 9 and 7. Her two daughters, 13 and 11, stayed at the convent. Two other children had already died. She had natives for guides and soldiers for protec­

tion. She hit the worst winter storm that area had seen and had to winter at Niagara Falls.

Artlsls have depicted Madame Cadillac In a ball goww In a canoe and also with two of her sons standing up in a canoe. Both scenes arc probably inaccurate, according to Bcr^!. She probably wore native clothing, something that was waterproof and designed for ease In getting In and out of a ranoc. They slept underneath their canoes at night.

In the spring of 1702, the canons of Fort Ponlchartrain boomed across thc lake to welcome thc first French woman and other women whom she had convinced IO join her.

Madame Cadillac had six more children in the 10 years she was at Fort Ponlchartrain.

"Thcy loved each other." Berg said.

Thc Cadil lacs wcnl back to France In 1715, shortly afler Ixluis XIV caught Cadillac running an illegal fur and brandy trade. Madame Cadillac died when she was 75.

Berg Is continuing her research on Madame Cadillac and hopes to eventually (Ind the letters Detj-olfs First Udy wrotetto herdaVlghlers;

•Nicked at Night," the third place finisher, was the hralii child of David Schmidt.

'This Is a way lo bloiv off steam and have some fun," said Schmidt who does serious high-tech nianu-facluring advertising.

Schmidt and his group have all done some theater in liigh school and college and the sets in "Nicked at Nighl" were gruesome versions of three television sitcoms - f f-oce Lucy, The Brady Buncli and ffome Iniprouement.

Schmidt designed the sets lo entertain, hut added a few surpris­es for a llllle shock value.

"What's greal about it is it's community service,^ Schmidt said, •It's a lot more fun than regular community service."

If these award-winning sets return next year, don'l get overly conHdent that jusl because you've been there, done that, you are safe.

; In IrclaiKl, where nalional piklc is a passion akin to rctfj^loii aiifi roniaillic love, one man Ilccanic a \egciu\ for his ner cc devolion lo his • land and Its Independence. [,Ialn Neeson stars as Michael Collins In a slory about the rcal-IIfe patriot whose bravery and linswervinf^ dedication lo thc Irish people changed hlsior>' as It made hlnl into a Icffend.

Collins' quest would brlnj* a man raised on war Into an even

• more dangerous balllc for peace. It woidd cost Ilini Iiis life but would make Iilnl a hero for nil a; cs.

Collins' cflorts lo create a free and peaceful country, like thc epic history Of Ireland Itself, would encompass romance and violence, valor and rage, biirnlnj; hope and fiery tragedy, i l would leslilt in both the triumph of a free Irl.sh Republic and ilie terror in North­ern Irclajid lhat continues lo jiiake bloody headlines today. And it

would forever change the ways people wage wars of independence.

Academy Award-wlnner Neil Jor­dan writes and directs Gcffcii Pic-lures" "Michael Collins,' tcaminf{ with Academy Awanl-nominees Liam Neeson and Julia Roberts and producer Stephen Wooliey. 'i'hc ftlni Is an historical epic about an c.straordlnaiT,' Individual whose example Inspired tile stru/.l| lcs fiar freedonl of small nations around the world.

Aidan Qulnn portrays Harry Uoland, Collins' best friend and rival for the love of Kilty Klernan. played'by Jul ia Roberls; Alan I^lckinan Is Kamoii De Valera. leader of the Irish nationalists and Collins' mentor, until a plorlal rlfl orcins between them: Slcplien Rea plays Collins' niosl vital informant, Ned Uroy: and Charles Dallce is the British commander, Soailles.

Born in a stone cottage in Ihc late iSOOs, Michael Collins cmne

of age in Ihe early 20lh cenUiry, when a monuiiienlal iiistory of oppl-esslon and bloodshed had divided Ireland and its people, making hatred and d ls l rus l a nalional heritaj e and a way of life. Collins vowed lo bring Ireland's slaverj' lo England lo an end.

Collins threw himself into tile political and military slrugfjle af^ainsl British rule, traveling Ihe country and galherlnff followers with his powerful speeches and magnetic personality.

So massive In commitment and passion that hc was knowil as "Ihe Big I'ella," Collins became tlie mili­tary genius of the republican movement — a living nlghlniare lo the British and a dream come true to his countiymcn.

for the first llnle. the Irish were takiuf control of thc countries-old situation Or so they thought, l^espitc Collins* l)esl efforts for peace, civil war erupled. Agalnsi

all advice, Collins sel off lo try to negotiate a cease-fire in Cork, the last bastion of thc anti-Treaty forces, where he was shot and killed Ily an impassioned young hfihicr.

Collins is one of the Irue tragic heroes of our tumultuous centuiy. Ills powerful gifts sparked Ihe llcrce battles lhat led to thc Irish [Republic lilat exists today, bul his unshaken confltlence in those gifts led hill) to become a victim of the very men he inspired lo i'lglll by his side.

Despite thc qlieslions surround­ing his life, Collins' mark on histo­ry is undeniable. Without his effort a free Ireland may never have come lo reality.

Michael Collins remains so con-Iroverstal In Ireland today that his name lias been stripped from his­tory books and even Ihe signpost lo his place of birih Is frequently vandalized.

ALADDIN & THE KING OF THIEVES BY HEATHER WAOOVi/SKI NORTHVILLE

After thc very cllsappointing "Return of Jafar." I wasn't exactly looking fonvard to Disney's third nnd final installmcnl In the "Aladdin" trilogy. I mean, why cheapen thc greatness of "AladcHn" with these dlrcct-lo-vidco wanna­bes?

But what "The Return of Jaiar" lacked In. "Aladdin and tlic King of Thieves" made up for.

In the final installment, viewers find Aladdin and Jasmine about lo get married when sonleone crash-

. es the reception. Ijhat, sonleone.

. viewers sqon discovcy. 'is'A'lad(lIn*s long-lost father ali'd ihe''King of Thieves.

Of course, Aladdin has to go out and nlcct his father In order lo dis­cover who he really Is and wliy he left Aladdill alone as a child.

And that's wllcn the adventure ; begins!

"Aladdin and Ihc King of Thieves" reunites the cast of "Aladdin" including l^obin Williams as Ihe voice of the Genie, for an ending as good as Iho beginning of the "Aladdin" trilogy.

"Aladdill" ail'd-Ahiddlnaml tile King of Thieves" receive five stars out of five, and represents Disney movies at their best.

"The Return of Jafar" on the other hand, represents Disney movies at their worst.

The Aladdin Trllogj- is now ava: able on video cassette.

It's the first t ime the sta le compet i t i on has been held a l lllc race track. Some 1,900 runners f rom ac ross Ihc s t a te a re expected to compe te t l icrc that day.

Uist Saturday, at the rcfi lonals. N o v i ' s J e n n y I l an ip lon l ed the Novl squad by placll lg fifth in the race wi l l l a time of 19:44.

Brooke Albr ight came In slxt l l with a l ime of 19:45. 'i'hlrd for the Novi squad was Lorna Camp, who placed l 9 l h with a linlc of 20:25. Angel Roo l came In 21st. wi th a l ime of 20 :32. Fi f lh for Nov l was Audra Wolowiec wlio placed 25th In lhe race, at 20:36. F reshman Cat Wal ler, s ix th on the s q u a d , was 29 th overal l with a t in lc of 21:08.

N o r g r c n s a i d the v a r s i t y squad's per formance was excel­lent, espec ia l l y co i l s lder ing the leam did it without one of i ts top

ru i l i l c rs . Kendra Malhe i ley , who has been oul for a Ih i rd of the .season with a stress fracture.

Overall , lhe girls cross coimtrj' squad finished l l ie season 8-0 In dua l meet competi t ion, ci lnci i lng the conference title.

The K V C is a part icular ly tough conference In which to compelc in cross county. Norgrcn said, not­i n g l h a l m a n y t e a m s rank slatew'kle.

None the less , o n l y two teams have previously captured confer­ence t i t les for t h ree years In a row. Br igh ton a n d Mi l ford each have mai laged s u c l i a s t r ing of winning seasons In a conference wh ich first started cross country compel i l ion in 1979.

Avenius heads to state; team misses by 'a whisper' Novi r l inncr Kevin Avenius led the race

almost start lo f in ish Saturday dur ing l l ie boys cross country regionals a l Ann Arbor Pioneer High School , l ie finished s e v e n t h w i th a t i m e o f 16 :50 , good enough to send him to state level compe­tition this Saturday.

J u s l a s o p h o m o r e . A v e n i u s was refeiTed lo as a "gifted runl lcr " by Novi coach Bob Smi th . The coach explained he is one of those few runners wlio can with a n "oxygen debt." That is. he r ims a l a pace that is too fast, able to tolerate the bu i ld up of lact ic ac id i n his muscles, even us ing it as an oxygen carrier.

"He's got plenty of Improvement left in h im." Smith said, " l ie 's nol like a lot of

k ids wllo have a five oc lock shadow hy two In l l i c a f t e r n o o n , l ie has a very bright future. On ly a few Novi runners have compiled the s ta l is t lcs he has in Iheir sophomore year, and (Iioy are run ­ning at the collegiate level. Kevin's ahead of some of those stats."

Avejii i is's run led l l ic Novi cross coui i -tly team lo "wi lhi i l a whisper" of (pialify-Ing for Saturday 's stale championsh ip , missing by only seven poinls.

A n n A rho r H u r o n won the reg iona l lneet wl lh 89 poil i ta, Ann Arbor Plornecr took second with 102: and Jackson fiil-i shed w i th 143 p o i n t s . Novl came In fourth with 150 points, but only the top three teams get to head off to the slate

finals. Smith ci-e<I!ted (Ills year 's runners with

" tak ing t l i c team lo ano the r level." In f a c l . he desc r ibed the team's pcrfor-mimcc overall as "the bes l week for Novi High in ci'oss country i n many years."

"Wc had five l i n d c r c l a s s m e l i at the regionals. The Juniors saw how close we were alid are already se l l ing their sights for next year," Smi lh sa id .

"The legacy of th is year ' s seniors is lhal Ihey sliowcd us w l i a l can bc done. If this leam goes lo the state next year, the sen iors c a n lake s o m e o w n e i s h l p for (liat, for turn ing this program around," Si i i i th said. "This team had a stump for a couple of years, but lhe seniors this year

guided Ihe team to this near miss." With the results of last week's perfor­

mance, the cross count iy leali l finished the season 3-3 overall. A n d that is in the p a r t i c u l a r l y tough K e n s i n g t o n Val ley C o n f e r e n c e . Of the 12 t e a m s i n the reg ion , 10 r a n k i n l o p twenty In (he slate.

F in i sh ing second for lhe team at lhe regionals was Chr is Duprey. who placed 30th In the race wi lh a tii l le of 17:30, 15 seconds off the pace for qualifying for Ihc slate finals individually.

Jason Sabol finished 31s l w i lh a lime of 17:32. ScoU Shepley was 39 l l i in (he race, runn ing 17:47. B r i a n Fischer was 43rd, at 17:51. John Mlone finished 48th

•Wc took tt to them right off the bat." said Varsity Coach Brian O'Leary.

About ten minutes Into the game. Novfs Alan Lyskaw crossed the hall to fellow teammate Bil l Galloway who took the shot hut instead hit thc crossbar.

"We played pretty well, i^ohably the best we played all year." said O'Leaiy. "They're the number four ranked team in the slate so we had our task cut out for us before­hand. It was the best we played as a team the entire year without a doubt."

O'Leary said the game was a good match, and despite the score. Novt players had more chances for scoring than the Plymouth players. However, thc Wildcats just couldn't connect.

"They were really pumped up

and confident ive could ivin." said O'Leary. "We had \vorkcd on some things in practice."

The team had moved onto the second level of playoffs after win­ning a home match against Soulh Lyon. Oct. 23.

The score. 2-1 was generated hy sophomore Derek Ornekian. who netted both goals with assists from Junior Nobuto Mori.

"We played pretty well, pretty even overall." said O'Leary. "We limited their changes and capital­ized on ours."

Coach O'Leary said he vvas pleased with his first season as Varsity coach for the team.

"It was super. 1 was very pleased." he said. "As a first year coach, there were a lol of changes. The kids adapted pretty well."

Novi finished second in the Kensington Valley Conference at 9-2-1 with both losses to the Brighlon Bulldogs.

The full season ended wllh thc Wildcat tally at 15 wins, four loss­es and a Ue.

O'Leary said with a group full of

young talent, thc team should gel more next year.

Currently the team consists of ten sophomores, five of which are starters and one freshman.

"Probably the biggest thing is teamwork." O'Leary explained."What happens wllh soccer Is Ihese kids come from dif­ferent teams and they all want to accomplish something Individually ... The biggest thing we have to do next year is play as a team. Trust each other. Rely on each other."

"It doesn't matter what cither team has done during the season, this Is thc game bolh leams want lo win."

Kickoff for the annual classic is

scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Novl won last year's battle 21-14, but has only managed to win the jug twice oul ofthe last seven years.

Both teams are coming off loses. Norlhvllle losi a hearthrcaker lo Plynloulh-Salcni 28-14, and Novi ended up on Ihe short side of a 28-14 score against Brighton.

Osborne said his leain needs to throw away the record book and Just play hard, lough football.

"Norlliville always plays wllh a lol of pride and I don'l think this week will be any dilferenl," he said. "They'll definitely show up to play and we need to play our best football lo Iiave a chance at win­ning."

steps so that success can build on . success . A l s o , the more spec i f i c . our goals are, the more defined the

path helphig us to keep our reso-luUons In sight and achievable. To do this, our goals need to be mea­surable and time-dated. Instead of saying, T want to lose weight" - a vague goal -- decide spccincally on

; how m u c h we igh t s u c h as t e n ; pounds. Add i t i ona l l y , th is in i t ia l

statement means you theoretically ; have as m u c h time as you want -• lOwceks , l o months, lOyears l

Instead, " i wi l l lose one pound a week over 10 weeks" Is more spe­cll lc, thne-daled and wi l l serve as

: an attainable goal and help keep ; you on track.

Frequently evaluate i f a parUcu-

lar approach Is or Is not he lp fu l hut rememher to be flexible. C i r ­cums tances c h a n g e a n d evolve over t ime. Adaptab i l i t y is one of the most helpfu l assets y o u can have that wi l l keep you on y o u r course. If you d id not lose weight this week, s t udy a n d def ine the p rob lem. The p r o b l e m m a y be , " E v e r y t ime 1 go o u t to ea t , 1 overeat." L is t a l l the th ings you can do about It s u c h a s : o r d e r smaller portions, share your meal, eat slower, cat w i t h i n d i v i d u a l s who have s imi lar goals, etc. Then take action and reevaluate If i t 's working for you.

O b s e r v e o t h e r s , r e a d a n d research unti l you Ilnd approaches that wi l l help y o u ma in ta in you r resolve. Evaluate al l the pros and cons of the change and anticipate prob lems. Maybe y o u r goa l was unrea l i s t i c , or there may be a n obstacle you must deal w i l h Hrst. Possibly losing one pound a week beginning with the upcoming hol i ­days may be unreal ist ic.

Too much change al l at once Is not good or effect ive. Se lec t the change wh i ch Is mos t e s s e n t i a l and say no to the rest. Also, pr ior i ­

tize a n d regulate the amount of change you are a l ready work ing on. Are you changlngjobs. quilting s m o k i n g , a n d t r y i n g to lose weight? Select one and really focus your energies and beliefs In 11.

Fo r examp le , weight loss can be a very slow process. If you w a l l un t i l y o u achieve your goal, you might have a very long wait and become discouraged dur­ing the process.

Ho ld ing off and not rewarding yourself may serve as a reminder that you have not succeeded or are not mak ing good progress. A more positive motivating approach is to reward yourself for positive behav­iors s u c h as fa i th fu l l y fo l lowing y o u r s p e c i a l m e a l p l a n for one week or exerc is ing three times a week for the last two weeks.
