Sheldon told the Novi Planning Commission that he is considering developing a 20-unit cluster com- plex at the intersection at their meeting last week (Wednesday, Dec.6). The property is located south of the Yorkshire Place subdivision. Following his presentation, Sheldon asked planners to establish a committee to tour the land with his engineers. "Then we'll go from there," he said. Commissioners voted informally to send Sheldon's proposal to the planning concepts subcommittee. "This parcel of land was omitted frofn development 30 years ago," Sheldon said. "There are reasons why the land has not been developed. The Wetlands and stream on the site do not give enough room for adequate densi- ty." Sheldon said some areas on the parcel will need to be preserved, precluding him from developing a conventional subdivision on the site. He showed planners designs of possible development of the parcel and indicated only nine homes or ll detached condos could be built. Sheldon said a cluster develop- ment could provide the needed den- sity for the project. A cllister pro- ject essentially allows developers to concentrate housing density on one portion of a parcel in exchange for preserving open space in other por- tionsofthesite. "I do have a builder who would tackle this project if he can get enough density," said Sheldon. He said the minimum number of units the builder is willing to accept is 20. "I'm willing to tackle the project, but the multiple density standard of four units per acre is not enou^," Sheldon said, he added that waiving a 75-foot setback rule could provide the needed density to develop 20 units.

It has not yet been determined whether those three individuals are responsible for a rash of similar in- cidents which have plagued the city over the past three weeks. However, Crime Prevention Of- ficer Robert Gatt said Tuesday that police believe the apprehension of the three individuals represents a major breakthirough in the case. "At this point, none of the three suspects is committing to all the crimes, but we feel it was either them or somebody they know," said Gatt. ''Right now we're in the initial stages of our investigation. Hopefully, We'll be able to clean up the whole mess in a very short period of time." Two of the individuals apprehend- ed in the Meadowbrook Glens sub- division last Saturday morning are juveniles who reside in Novi. The third suspect, a l9-year-old Northville resident, has not yet been charged. Police are withholding his identity pending further Investigation and issuance of warrants by the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office. The three were apprehended by officers on routine patrol 4 in Meadowbrook Glens last Saturday at approximately 12:25 a.m. While traveling westbound on Cherry Hill, an officer noticed a shattered Window in a Chevrolet Monte Carlo parked in the street in front of a residence. The officer said he turned around and headed back toward the vehicle to investigate the damage. As he was parking his car alongside the road, the officer was passed by a grey Chevrolet with a very loud ex haust system and occupied by three individuals, according to reports. One of the tips police had been working on came from a witness who reported that the responsible parties had been driving a red Pon- tine Fiero with a loud exhaust system.

Novi Fire Chief Arthur Lenaghan said the department has begun re- questing monthly reports from the company and is also keeping track independently of the reponse times, which reportedly have been as high as 16 minutes on several occasions. "I think we'vie had some concerns on it. We're looking into it. We've set them a criteria schedule," Lenaghan said. "The American House (a senior citizens housing complex in nor- thern Novi) has had some long response times. It's been brought to our attention. We will be monitoring this very closely." , On Dec. 8, Community Emergen- cy Medical Services (OEMS), which maintains corporate head- quarters on Heslip Drive In Novi, opened two new ambulance stations one in the north end of the city at the Thirteen Mile/Novi Road in- tersection and a second in Nor- thville on Center Street, south of Eight Mile. The Northville station will also serve Novi. One am- bulance-with an advance life sup- port unit is kept at each station, said Peter Rogers, CEMS' vice- president of operations. The north end station was opened in part in response to members of the Lakes Area Residents Associa- tion (LARA), Rogers said. The group has been closely scrutinizing the ambulance service. "Our seven-minute response time average has not changed over the past year," Rogers said. "We have been very responsive to the con- cerns expressed to us by the City of Novi. We're going to continue to make an effort to work with the fire department, the police department and any other groups that are ex- pressing concerns." The company, on the advice of its lawyers, declined to release data on its reponse times, Rogers said. "According to what I've been hearing over the past six months there have been some extended reponse times. When we have had extended reponse times, they've been to the very far reaches of the city," Rogers said. "We feel the ex- tended response times are going to improve and We'll see a decrease in extended reponses to the city." Lenaghan said he is awaiting a reponse time report from the com- pany. The city uses as guidelines operating criteria established by the Michigan Department of Public Health which calls for ambulances with advanced life support units to respond Within 10 minutes or less 90 percent of the time.

He noted that Detroit Red Wing jerseys are popular this year even though the team is in last place. Leahy said baseball cards are also a hot item this year. "Baseball cards have become the big- gest investment of the 1980s." But, while sports paraphernalia sales may not be taking off during the holiday season, many stores including those which sell summer-type items report that business is good. "Our sales are up over last year," said Sue Cherry, manager of Sun Vision in the Twelve Oaks Mall. Cherry said sunglasses make good gifts during the Winter "because the sun reflecting off the snow produces more glare than In the summer."

As requested by residents, the Novi City Council agreed Dec. 4 to close Burton Drive at Haggerty Road and open the unpaved road at NUan Drive.

The low-traffic, east-west street, immediately south of Ten Mile, cur­rently dead-ends at NUan Drive.

Some residents of the l4-house street were concerned that it was be­ing used as a short cut to avoid the Ten Mile/Haggerty Road intersec­tion. Thirty residents of the street and adjacent streets signed petitions calling for the revampulg of Burton Drive.

The street currently dead ends at Nilan Drive with a guardrail and a small grassy strip blocking the road-way.

Bruce Jerome, the city's Depart­ment of Public Works superinten­dent, opposed the move on the basis that it would make snow removal more difficult and the area would not be as accessible to police and fire vehicles as it would be if both the Haggerty Road and NUan Drive openings remained mtact.

However, Fire Chief Arthtli*;; Lenaghan reported that his depart-; ment had no objection to the change -if it Would not compromise emergen-:' cy response.

Detective Ralph Fluhart, traffic-staff officer of the Novi Polioe:; Department, recommended thqt )f the road Were closed to Haggerty iV be named Burton Court. .

City Manager Edward Kriewali;; said the street would not be an id at location for a cul-de-sac torn-61'. closure, and might be better blocked • off by berming or barricades. The;cl- ' ty administration was given the task ^ of coming up with a plan ahd^ timetable for closing the road. :.';!

"We're looking at a situation whIcJJ' has existed for years and all we're! doing is reversing the closed end of' the road," said Councllwoman Mar--" tha Hoyer.

The resolution was approved on a' 6-l ballot with Councilman Joseph; Toth voting against the road closing on the grounds it should be left as it -' exists at present.

Following a lengthy discussion on "curb cuts," the Novi Planning Com­mission panted preliminary site plan review to Novi Auto Sales at its Wednesday, Dec. 6, meeting.

Specifically, the commission ap­proved site plans for the renovation of the existing sales office on the west side of Novi Road, north of Grand River.

City Planning Consultant Brandon Rogers said the plan calls for the renovation of an existing auto sales office and a lot for either a "retail sales or office" use on a .54 acre parcel.

Rogers noted no increase in buUding footprint is proposed. An ex­isting shed on the south side of the

1,865 square foot, one-story structure; would be removed. .

Planner Judith Johnson said she: has a problem with the number of < curb cuts in the area. She said future' development wUl only add to the pro­blem.

Commissioner Thomas O'Branovic said he does not think the planning commission can do anything about the number of future curb cuts until nearby properties are developed..

Skip West, architect for Novi Auto Sales, said the site plan was submit-, ted for either retaU or office use; "because no decision on use has been made." ;

Assistant City Planner Johhi; Schlagheck said he would forward the site plan to the Town Centei: Steering Committee. •

ByJANJEFFRES staff writer

A discussion about advisory com-mittees Monday night highlighted a pointed difference in philosophy t)et-ween members of the Novi City Coim-cil.

The purpose of the meeting was to clarify the procedure involved in making appointments to city coun­cil/citizen committees and to establish the tenure of office for each one.

"Every once in awhile the council has to keep up with Its bookkeeping," said Mayor Matthew Quinn.

The .special meeting was scheduled after an Oct. 13 city council session revealed that confusion existed over the committee procedures.

At that time, two contenders for a vacancy on the Town Center Steering Committee - Nancy Covert and Hugh Crawford - were told that the first person to ask for a committee seat, got it. Crawford was the suc­cessful applicant.

Under city charter, the mayor previously only had the right to name appointees to standing committees composed entirely of city council members. Other advisory committee appointments were the perogative of the city council.

However, an unwritten 20-year tradition conceded this privilege to the mayor.

The majority of the council resolv­ed to officially grant the mayor this power to make committee appoint­ments With city council approval.

City Attorney David Fried advised that the council had the right to turn over the responsibility to the mayor. Committee seats which may now be filled by the mayor include the Sidewalk Safety Path and Implemen­tation Committee, the Stormwater

Management Finance Committee and the Housing and Community Development Committee.

"I don't perceive that as giving the mayor added power," Fried said.

Councilpersons Tim Pope and Nan­cy Covert consistently opposed resolutions giving the additional authority to the mayor.

"This is a policy question. It's my position, regardless of who the mayor is, it should be an appoint­ment by council," Pope said. "I think the council should continue its policy and retain the voice of the people Who elected them. 1 do not believe We should abdicate our role in making this appointment.

"I do honesty believe the council has expanded the role of the mayor in making appointments," he added.

Covert agreed. "I'm inclined again to look at the

charter. WitJi all these managerial appointments I think We're increas­ing the influence of an elected per­son," she said.

Councllwoman Martha Hoyer disagreed.

"I don't feel in establishing council policy that I am giving up any of my authority as a council member," she said.

Mayor Pro Tem Edward Leininger agreed.

"You need to have a management philosophy. The fact that the mayor appoints and the council approves gives us a straightforward manage­ment approach," he said.

The council retains its right to veto any appointments made by the mayor.

Quinn said he makes appointments based on criteria such as seniority, concern shown, special knowledge, city involvement and the overall number of committees served on.

In Michigan, a motor vehicle is stolen every eight minutes and more of these thefts are occuiring in outstate areas. It is no longer just a big city Clime, according to Terry Bilckles, president of Michigan Association of Insurance Companies (MAIC).

Tile number of auto thefts decreas­ed 5.7 percent statewide through September of 1989, compared to the same period a year ago. Meanwhile, motor vehicle thefts in the City of Detroit declined 17.7 percent.

However, cities such as Battle Creek, Jackson, Dearborn, Grand Rapids and Saginaw each experienc-ed'fricreases in this type of crime so far in 1989.

"There has been a lot of recent em­phasis placed on the motor vehicle theft problem in southeastern Michigan," Buckles said. "Criminals are responding to increased law en-foix ement there by redirecting more of their activity to other areas.''

Although the number of thefts in Michigan has declined significantly in the past few years, the stale's l988

motor vehicle theft rate of 741 per 100,000 people was considerably higher than the national rate ol 540. The most populated areas of the state still experience the highest theft rates, of course.

According to Michigan Depart­ment of State Police statistics, the value of the 67,211 motor vehicles stolen here in 1988 is estimated at

$472 million, or 70 percent of a11 the property stolen in the state last year.

State motorists typically pay from around $50 to several hundred dollars a year per vehicle for theft Insurance coverage. Rates vary according to factors such as geographic location and value of the vehicle.

Protection against theft losses is included in "comprehensive"

coverage, an optional part of the auto insurance policy. This year, premiums paid by some Michigan consumers for this type of coverage have decreased somewhat due to the success of public and private in­itiatives Which have reduced auto theft in the state.

One such program, HEAT (Help Eliminate Auto Theft), is a statewide tip reward program funded by auto insurers which pays for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of suspected thieves and chop shop operators. Citizens can call the tip line at 80O-242-HEAT with informa­tion on stolen cars and suspected auto theft activities.

Qualified HEAT tips are rewarded with up to $1,000 each for information that leads to the arrest and prosecu­tion of suspected individual auto thieves, or up to $10,000 each for tips that result in the arrest or binding over for trial of chop shop operators.

Also, state legislation enacted in 1986 contained a number of provi­sions which have proved to be beneficial in combating auto theft.

These include 1) permitting insurers to impose large deductibles on claim payments made for vehicles stolen with the keys left in them, 2) requir­ing vehicle owners to file a theft report with the police to recover any claim, and 3) creating the Auto Theft Prevention Authority within the State Police to provide financial sup­port (through a $1 fee on each insured vehicle) to law enforcement agencies and private groups for theft preven­tion programs.

Furthermore, insurers and the Na­tional Automobile Theft Bureau helped establish the Michigan Anti-Car Theft Committee, which is com­prised of numerous manufacturers, insurers, banks, automotive service groups, and law enforcement agen­cies. The committee helps create and provide funding for public awareness campaigns, works closely with law enforcement task forces to develop and implement sting operations, and provides a forum for discussion about problems related to automobile theft.

To reduce the possibility of vehicle theft, MAIC recommends:

1. Park in a lighted spot whenever you can. Thieves prefer vehicles located in darkened areas.

2. Close all windows and lock all doors. Police officers say far too many car ovimers leave their cars unlocked While they run into a store for "just a minute."

3. Keep costly items out of sight and locked up. There's nothing more tempting to a would-be thief that to spot a collection of gift-wrapped packages or newly-cleaned clothes or expensive sporting goods lying in plain sight. Put them in the trunk where they can't be seen.

4. Park With front wheels turned sharply to right or left, making it dif-ficult for the professional to tow your car away.

5. Always activate any theft deter­rent device you may have installed on your car.

6. If you park in a commercial lot or garage, leave only the ignition key with the attendant. Retain all other.

7. Keep license and registration in your wallet or purse.

8. If you have a private garage, use it. Ix)ck both the vehicle and garage.

Aimed with Itnowledge of city or­dinances and a vision (or the future, Tim Gilberg has assumed his seat on the Novi Planning Commission.

Gilberg was nominated by Mayor Matthew Quinn from a field of eight candidates to fill a vacancy on the commission, and the city council gave unanimous approval to the mayor's appointment at its Nov. 20 meeting.

The vacancy was created by the resignation of Enrko Digiralomo last September.

"I believe everyone should give something bacit to the community," said Gilberg, "and this is my way of doing something beneficial for Novi.

A Novi resident (or nearly l2 years, Gilberg said traffic congestion is one of the main issues he would liite to ad­dress while serving on the commis­sion.

"Because of its heavy importance on the comfort and convenience of Novi residents, I think traffic should be a priority,'' he said. Gilberg added that the Haggerty Road Corridor and improvements to Eight Mile rate al the top of the agenda.

Quinn said he was very impressed by the eight individuals who applied for the planning commission vacan­cy. "It's always a tough choice," commented the mayor.

"He (Gilberg) has shown an in­telligent and well-thought out perspective (or his point of view." continued Quinn. "He also has good knowledge of the planning commis­sion's inner workings.

"Tim has good ideas for the growth of the city."

Citing the need for a learning period on any commission, Gilberg said he'll have to familiarize himself quickly with the material because the city is currently dealing with im­portant issues,.

He noted he is especially excited about the city's "Grand Plan" for moving many heavy industrial users

out of the Town Center Area to a heavy industrial park.

"1 like the Town Center concept and the creation of a dovmtown (district in Novi) is very important," Gilberg said. "The 'Grand Plan' is one of the best presentations I have seen.

"It offers a lot to the heavy in­dustrial users as well as downtown people," he noted. "It also separates heavy truck traffic from cars in downtown Novi."

With the possible institution of the "Grand Plan," Gilberg said he believes Novi should have an equitable mix of multiple and single-family housing, commercial and in­dustrial uses.

"1 think all of these uses can func­tion and exist in Novi in an equitable fashion," he said. "We need to raise the chin bar to get the best use of pro­perty to have a good homogeneous mix."

Gilberg said he believes it is impor­tant for Novi to be a proactive rather than reactive planned community. "I think the 'Grand Plan' is a perfect ex-ample of proactive planning. I'm ex­cited to learn about it and work with it."

In commercial districts, Gilberg

said he favors having a "regionalized shopping area. I don't thhlk people want Novi to be the strip mall capital of the world."

As for housing, Gilberg said he believes Novi planning commis­sioners have job an excellent job of residential planning so far.

He said, however, that he will do what he can to continue to protect homeowners from realizing any adverse affect to their property values.

"I think there should be more single-family homes than multiple housing in Novi, though I have no percentages in mind," Gilberg said.

"Stability is my major reason," he added. "Multiple housing involves more moving around and doesn't lend itself to stability. StabUity is im­portant in a community, and we need a solid core of residents to keep it that way."

Ah engineering supervisor at Ford Motor Company, Gilberg has been a members of a number of community groups including Novi Parks and Recreation, the Novi Boy Scouts and theNoviJaycees.

"What's important is that we have the right to express our views and then together devise a plan," he said.

Japensese citizens may be using Novi school facilities for classes on weekends, if details can be worked out.

The Novi school board last week authorized ad­ministrators to negotiate the lease of classroom facilities to a Japanese group for Saturday after­noon and Sunday.

"The Japanese community offers special pro­grams on Saturdays that are currently housed In another district in Oakland County," said Novi Superintendent Robert Piwko. "We've been ap­proached for our facilities for their (the Japanese) school use," he added.

Piwko said if an agreement can be worked work­ed between Novi schools and the Detroit Society of Japanese, it would be on a rental basis for Satur­day afternoons or Sundays.

"We simply have too many activities on Satur­day momings to allow them to use our facilities at that time," he said, adding that it is not known if

the Japanese group would find Saturday after­noons or Sundays appropriate meeting times.

Assistant Superintendent William Barr said the district's current charge for classroom rental is $4 per hour, plus custodial fees.

Barr said about 700 or 80O students attend the Japanese classes, which translates into the use of 25 to 50 classrooms. He added classes are held ap­proximately 49 weeks per year.

Barr said the students are Japanese children who attend public schools throughout Oakland County, but want to maintain an ongoing study of the Japanese culture.

"The families in this program are here a max­imum of five years," Barr added. "This program provides them with some ongoing education in their (Japanese) way of life.

He said two problems - parking and Novi teacher's reaction — could potentiaUy preclude an agreement between the two parties.

"The Japanese group said they park between 400 and 500 cars which presents an obvious pro­blem (or us on Saturdays or Sundays," Barr said.

"The other problem is that teachers are usually very possessive when it comes to the use of their rooms," added Barr. He noted, however, that this has not been a problem in other districts."

Following his presentation, Barr asked board members if they wqould approve the agreement if details can be worked out.

Without formally voting on the proposal, board members Indicated they were very much in favor of working out an agreement between the district and Japanese group.

"I can appreciate the sanctity of a teacher's classroom," commented Trustee Robert Schram, "but this would be a unique opportunity for us to learn about educational programs in Japan.

"I think this is definitely worthwhile in pursu­ing," he added.

Board Treasurer Stephen Hitchcock said he thinks the idea has all kind of opportunities for cultural exchange between the Novi community and the Japanese.

"And we'll have the opportunity to bring in some extra money," he said.

The owner of two nursing homes in Novi has filed for protection under Chapter ll of ttie Federal Bankrupt­cy Code.

"This absolutely will not affect the quality of care. That will continue," said Earle Erman, attorney for Care Centers of Michigan. The company is owned by Dr. Edwin C. Blumberg, a Farmington Hills osteopath.

Blumberg is looking for a buyer for all the nursing homes, including Novi Care Center and Great lakes Care Center, both in Novi. He also owns the Livingston Care Center in Howell.

Other properties are Oak Hill Care Center in Farmington, Williamsburg Care Center in Farmington Hills,

Oakland Care Center in Royal Oak and Lincoln Care Center in Detroit.

Two other centers — Greenbriar in Howell and St. Benedict's in Detroit - have been closed and are being li­quidated through the bankruptcy courts, Erman said.

"We think the homes will continue to operate and be sold," said Erman, a Southfield attorney.

The seven chapter ll cases have been combined for administrataive purposes in the bankruptcy division of U.S. District Court in Detroit under Judge Walter Shapiro. Com­bined, the nursing homes employ about 1,000 and have l,065 beds.

A year ago the company's assets were frozen by the Internal Revenue Service.

The Novi City Council has agreed to give four city employees their dues.

But it appears to have been an empty gesture, as four of six city staffers joining the Optimist Club have indicated they will now pay their own way and two plan to withdraw from the newly-formed service club.

On Dec. 4, the council held back payment on $l20 per person Optimist Club dues for six staff members who

signed up for the service organiza­tion.

Monday, the council decWed to pay 5<) percent of the dues (or four staff members - a total bill of $240.

But Assistant City Manager Craig Klaver, Police Chief Lee BeGole, Special Recreation Coordinator Kathy Crawford and Fire Chief Ar­thur Lenaghan have now decided pay the dues themselves. BeGole had always intended to do so, but the city initiated the dues payment request for him, Klaver reported.

"The other two employees, (Novi Police Department Juvenile Officer)

John Zimmer and (Crime Prevention Officer) Bob Gatt indicated they are resigning from the club because of the concern over the dues and the publicity," Klaver said.

Gatt works with the city's anti­drug abuse program for children, D.A.R.E., which is supported by the Optimist Club as part of its mandate to assist Novi youth.

According to a report prepared by Klaver at the city council's i uest, no written policy exists on the pay­ment of service club dues for city staff members, but it has been the administration's policy to encourage

participation in these orgailizations among upper-management employees.

The city has tried to maintaili at least one staff member in each of the major clubs In an effort to maintain contacts With some of the Novi's most active and concerned residents.

A list prepared by Klaver of 14 city employees belonging to service organizations showed that all paid their own dues except the Optimist members and two other staff members. One employee's member­ship in the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary is paid by the city,

and a second employee belongs to the Jaycees at the city's expense.

Klaver said the six joined without realizing that other Novi employees had also enrolled in the Optimists.

"We have to malntian at least one member in each of the major organizations. If I look through the upper-level staff, we have many peo­ple who are paying their own dues," said Ckluncilwoman Martha Hoyer.

"I don't have a problem with the ci­ty sending a staff member and pay­ing the dues as a government liaison. I do have a problem With the city ex-tending this beyond the upper

management level or by more than one person."

The resolution to pay $60 per per-son dues for the four employees pass­ed on a 4-2 vote. Councilman Hugh Crawford, the husband of Kathy Crawford, abstained. CouncUpersons Martha Hoyer and Joseph Toth cast the dissenting ballots.

"I'm aware of some people who joined this organization paying one-half their dues, assuming that the other half of their dues was going to be paid. If that doesn't happen, that could be detrimental to some ffo-pie, "Crawford said.

Following a lengthy discussion, the Novi Board of Education unanimously approved the hiring of an ac-couting clerk for the district's business office.

"We need additional hands to do the work that we need to get done," said Assistant Superintendent William Barr. "An additional person will allow us to get a great deal of work done that we need to get done."

He said the position pays roughly $22,8(X) with fringe

benefits included. The motion approved by the board allows the district to immediately fill the position.

Along with this new position, Barr said the district ad­ministration will review the responsibilities of three cur-rent positions in the business office - purchasing clerk, payroll clerk and accounting clerk.

He added it is the intention of the business office to re­evaluate all of these responsibilities and their respective assignments, following the board's approval of a new position.

Barr said the actual assignment of responsibilities of

the new person will conform to the auditors' recommen­dations for better handling of money by the district.

In addition, he noted that the new position has been budgeted by the district for the 1989-90 school year. He said three full-time positions were approved by the district for the current budget year.

Apparently two people were hired part-time to fill one position, while one other person earned a full-time posi­tion — leaving one position avaUable.

Before voting on the poslton. Board Member Robert Schram asked Barr whether the district was adding a

fourth person or fourth position. Barr responded that the district Was adding a fourth person to fill three positions.

Schram then asked Barr whether Hiring a new person for the business office would fulfill the concerns of the auditor definitively.

Barr said "yes," with regards to the handling of money in the district. i

Trustee Craig Foreback said he would like to have what the "general responsibilities of the new person will be written up specifically." ;

NoVi High Schfxii's debate alld foi nsics teams will l)e able to match Wits with other schools aclx)ss the state at a tounlament held on Mackinac Island next May.

Novi school board members ap­proved the teams' request to travel to Mackinac Island via a school bus to compete in the Lilac Festival Tour­nament.

However, while board members voted to pay the expenses of the bus, driver and coach, they refused to pay for a chaperone to accompany the teams.

"I think we're setting a dangerous precedent (by paying for the chaperone's expenses)," said Board Member Sandra Thomton. "For Novi Middle School, I know the parents have to pay for the cost of ac­companying children to Cedar Point."

Board Member Robert Schram said he believes it is inappropriate for the district to pay for the debate team chaperone if they don't do it for others.

"The district does not support chaperones for choir or band," said Schram, "so I think it Would be inap­

propriate to do it for this group." Board Treasurer Stephen Hit­

chcock said he supports Schram's concerns and added that he's in favor of the district paying only for the bus, driver and coach of the team.

"The Lilac Festival allows students to compete in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere," said Superintendent Robert Piwko. "It combines excellent cultural and com­petitive experiences."

The Lilac Festival, which is an an­nual event, is the first debate touma-ment on the "l990-l99l" topic. The Novi High School team has attended the Lilac Festival six times in the past.

"Participation in this event helps the team prepare for and anticipate trends concemhlg the topic they will debate all next season," Piwko said.

"This event has been an exceeding-ly good moral builder for the par­ticipants in debate," he added.

Piwko said that because demand for the event is high and the district would like to include Forenslcs, "we request that this year we be allowed to use a school bus for safer travel and supervision."

The trip is set for May 18-20 (Fri-day through Sunday) at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. Students will pay $150 for the cost for the trip.

Site plans for the proposed Novi Medical Center were granted preliminary approval by the Novi Planning Commission at its Wednesday, Dec. 6, meeting.

The medical center is slated to be btiilt adjacent to the Meadowbrook

lens subdivision. The NoVi City Council paved the way for the development last September by rezoning half of the 9.48 acre parcel from a single-family residential classification (R-4) to an Office-Service District (OS-l) classifica-tibn. 'JThe council approved the rezon-ftlg' despite opposition from Meadowbrook Glens residents. More than 200 subdivision residents Sighed petitions opposed to the r zohing and presented them to the

commission in September. Despite that opposition, only two

Meadowbrook Glens residents ap­peared at the commission meeting last week to observe consideration of site plan approval for the Novi Medical Center.

One Meadowbrook Glens residents cited a number of con­cerns related to the medical center project.

"I have a big Interest in this development since it will be built directly adjacent to homes (hl Meadowbrook Glens) and the en­trance of the subdivison," he said.

He then listed concerns associated with the project such as the extension of a sidewalk from the medical center to Cherry HUl Drive and screening of a brick wail at the building's rear.

Cliff Sieber, a representative of Max Sheldon Who is developing the

project, said the group will put in a safety path to Cherry Hill and work to install either a brick wall, berm or a combination of both.

Sieber said Sheldon is planning to phase the development into two por­tions. The first phase would consist of a 59,000 square foot building con-taining 2l medical suites. The se-cond phase would contain a 43,000 square foot building housing l9 medical suites.

On the preliminary site plan, city Planning Consultant Brandon Rogers said the proposed buildings are slated to be two stories in the first phase and IVz stories in the se-cond phase.

He added that 4>4-foot brick-on-brick wall or landscape berm is re-quired along the south and west sides of the site abutting the adjoin-ing residential property.

Sheldon proposes to construct the

medical center on a 9.48 acre parcel bounded by Grand River Avenue, Meadowbrook Road, Cheny HUl Drive and the O'Brien Funeral Home.

Prior to city council rezoning, 4.35 acres of the site were zoned R4. The remablder of the land carries the Non-Center Commercial (NCC) zoning classification, which allows OS-l development.

During discussion of the site plan, commissioners hlqulred about the traffic generated by the medical center. Planner Tim Gilberg said it already takes a long time to turn left from Cherry Hill onto Meadowbrook Road.

City Traffic Consultant Karen Ur-man said the medical center site will produce about 3,420 trips dur­ing a 24-hour period and 394 trips during the p.m. peak hour.

She added the development will

not have an adverse impact on the level of service (LOS) of the Grand River/Meadowbrook Road In­tersection.

However, to improve traffic flow in the area surrounding the medical center, Urman said ri^t turn lanes "are to be constructed next year on each leg of the Grand River/Meadowbrook Road In­tersection.

She said a right-turn lane on east-bound Grand River is to be extend­ed, by the developer, to the propos­ed driveway location.

In addition, Urman said decelera­tion and acceleration lanes Will be constructed at each driveWay or connected to existing by-pass lanes. Also, a three-lane cross-section on Meadowbrook Road will extended to and through the proposed driveway.

GQberg asked Sieber Whether

Sheldon would be Willing to make improvements to Meadowbrook Road near his site.

Sieber said the owner would not be willhlg to make improvements past his frontage or on roads that do not effect his development.

He said the developer proposes to use a temporary driveWay for ac­cess to the site untU the second phase of the project has been com­pleted.

In granting preliminary site plan approval, the commission asked Sheldon to consider makhig the temporary driveway permanent.

With regard to disposal of medical waste generated from the site, Novi Medical Center architect Victor Siroke said the waste will either be incinerated to sterile** waste on-site or be contracted for disposable by a medical waste firm.

The number of people enrolled in Novi Community Education pro->glraihs showed a slight increase in i 1989 over 1988 levels. [ Community Education Coordinator Clara Porter said approximately 2,188 people registered for classes for the 1989 fall session - compared to 2,024 people for the same session last year.

Porter said the community educa­tion brochure was mailed out the Week of Aug. 21, with the registration period beginning Sept. 5.

She reported that two new reglstra-tion-procedures were introduced this fall 'to make it easier for people to register for community education classes.

"The use of credit cards (Visa & MasterCard) and utilizing a Satur­day morning as an additional registration day both proved to be successful," Porter said.

She said that using the Visa & MasterCard registration option eliminated a lot of congestion in the office, "but it caused our phone line to ring off the hook."

However, even with the credit card option, 685 people registered for classes in person - compared to 300 people who used a credit card either by phone, mail or in person.

Of the 2,188 individuals registered in community education classes, 229 are in preschool, 352 are children and 36l are adults.

The number of enrichment classes held by Novi Community Education during the 1989 fall session was 159.

The Novi City Council Monday night chose to Iceep to the agenda first proposed in Augu.st.

In a memo to council dated Aug. 7, City Manager Edward Kriewall sug­gested a revamping of the council's agenda, which traditionally reserved a time before the beginning of the ci­ty council meeting and after its con­clusion for audience participation. A new approach was proposed in repoflse lo protacted audience par­ticipation sessions and to allow coun­cil to get on with council business, Kriewall wrote.

The revised agenda features one audience participation related only to matters scheduled on the first halt of the agenda. This half of the agenda focuses on items requiring the atten-dance of citizens, petitioners and city staff.

A second audience participation is open to all topics, as is a final session at the end of the city council meeting.

The new policy was criticized by

H o y e r : 'I t h i n k w e ' v e m a d e o u r

i n g . '

several citizens when It Was introduc­ed.

The city council tried the revised agenda style out for several months before formally adopting it unanimously Monday. The new agen­da format was endorsed by City Clerk Gerry Stipp and Kriewall.

"The business of the citizen gets done. The business of the council gets done last and that's the way It should be," said Mayor Matthew Quinn.

In a Dec. 7 letter endorsing the new policy, Stipp noted that previous au­dience participations lasted

anywhere from five minutes to two hours.

"1 think the agenda format we've been using is outstandhlg; it's work­ed very Well," said Councilman Joseph Toth.

Toth suggested that people who wanted to address the council fiJI out 3-by-5 cards with their names and ad­dresses and leave it to the mayor's discretion as to who would speak at the first audience participation or when the subject was brought up.

"I've watched everybody. It's as though they have to keep this thing

rolling for some reason," he said. "It -may turn it off so you don't have a lot -of them coming in at the last minute to say something."

But Stipp noted that under the state's Open Meetings Act a person is not required to give his or her name and address as a condition of speak­ing.

Instead, the council opted to keep to the current agenda. "The system seems to be working. It cer­tainly allows for people to be heard. It allows for the business of councU proceed in a timely action," sai| Councilwoman Nancy Covert.

However, the mayor Was given the flexibilty to decide if someone could address the council during the first audience participation on an issue other than that scheduled for the first I'jalf of the meeting.

"I think we've made our audience participation process very successful and now if we can only make our council process equally successful, so we're not in here until 1:30 in the morning," said Councilwoman Mar­tha Hoyer.

LANSING — Petition circulators will have more time to solicit signatures, but candidates for public office Will have shorter filing deadlines, under bills making their Way through the Michigan Legislature.

The Senate last week amended a bill to give peti­tion circulators a full year instead of only six mon­ths to circulate petitions to place proposals on the state ballot.

As written. Senate Bill 44l would have allowed circulators l8 months, but Sen. Jack Faxon, D-

Farmington Hills, objected.

"One and a half years, in my opinion, is way too long. People will probably sign more than once petition. It creates the potential for duplication of signatures," said Faxon.

Senators adopted an amendment to cut the time to 12 months. The bill then Will go to the House.

In other action, the Senate approved bills to shorten the time for candidates in charter townships and community college districts to file

nominating petitions 12 weeks prior lo an election rather than nine weeks.

Other bills will apply to cities, counties and other units of govemment.

The reason, according to one sponsor, is to give local clerks more time to print absentee ballots and mail them overseas to military personnel and others living abroad. Clerks had complained that they were receiving overseas ballots too long after elections.

A Foodland Distributors truck rests on the northwest embankment of Nine Mile and Haggerty Road after the accident Novl News/CHRlS BOY

A Farmington Kills fireman walks past the utility pole that was struck by a truck during an accident at the Nine Mile/Haggerty Road in-tersection last Monday.

M a n l < j l l e d

i n c r a s h

A Union Lalce man was killed when he disobeyed a l ^ light at Nine MUe and Haggerty Road and drove into the path of a tractor-traiJer truck Monday morning, according to Far­mington Hills police.

A utility pole on the northwest cor­ner Was snapped as a result of the crash, toppling power lines and shut­ting (iown Haggerty between Nine anti Ten Mile until early Tuesday morning.

Arthur Lawrence Yacobelli, 33, was pronounced dead at the scene. He died of multiple injuries, the Oakland County Medical Examiner said.

According to reports, Yacobelli was westbound on Nine Mile at lO a.m. in a 1987 Pontiac Sunbird when he disobeyed the l ed light at Hagger­ty. The driver of a northbound Foodland Distributors truck entering the intersection on a green light noticed the car and swerved on the wet pavement, but couldn't avoid crashing into the driver's side of the Sunbird.

continued from Page l The officer proceeded to stop the

suspicious vehicle. In the process of questioning the driver, the officer said he shined his flashlight into the bacK seat and observed several marbles and small stones lying on the'fioor at the feet of the individual occupying the back seat.

The officer subsequently ordered

the three suspects out of the vehicle and proceeded to conduct a search of the interior, according to reports.

As a result of that search, police reportedly discovered a wrist sl­ingshot shoved under the seat and many more marbles.

All thi-ee individuals were subse­quently transported to Novi police headquarters where they were de­

tained for further questioning. The juveniles later were released to the custody of their parents.

Police are hopeful that they have apprehended the individuals respon­sible for a series of vandalism in­cidents which have plagued the city in recent weeks. The initial outbreak occurred Thanksgiving Ev^ (Wednesday, Nov. 23) when vandals

shot out the windows of at last l6 dif­ferent vehicles parked on the street in nine different Novi subdivisions.

All the incidents have occurred in the southern portion of the city.

Since the Thanksgiving Eve in­cidents, there have been several other outbreaks. The windows of at least five vehicles in the Village Oaks. Turtle Creek and Whispering

Meadows subdivisions were shot out on Wednesday, Nov. 29, and there were atiditional incidents on Satur­day, Dec. 2.

"We can't say for sure that We have the people responsible for all the incidents, but We're confident that we're close to clearing up the en­tire situation," said Gatt.

Gatt also commended the officers

responsible for apprehending the trio of suspects in Meadowbrook Glens last Saturday. "It was good police work, and it reflects well on the department," he said. "Extra patrols were out to try to stop these incidents from occurring and the of­ficers caught them. I think the police department has shown its true col-ors."

two vacancies were filled and two members were reappointed to the Novi Community Education Advisory Council (NCEAC) by the Novi Board of Education last Thursday.

Ijjewly-appointed NCEAC members Cheryl Bass and Harl7 Manza were approved by the school board to fill three-year positions.

The positions were previously held by Bill Charles and Ken King, who was senior representative on the NCEA. Both members submitted letters indicating they did not wish to be reappointed.

Helen Stabler and Pat Koneda, whose terms on the NCEAC had also expired, sought reappointment and were granted new three-year terms by the school board.

In finding replacements for Charles and King, Novl Superintendent liobert Piwko said an article was placed in The Novi News notifying residents of NCEAC vacan­cies.

According to advisory council by-laws, current council members interviewed ail interested applicants, then made their recommendations to the Novi school board.

Clara Porter, director of Novi's Adult Community Education Department, said four people applied for the two NCEAC vacancies.

Piwko said four applicants were asked five identical questions at the last advisory council meeting.

School Board Member Robert Schram asked Piwko if current school board proceedure Was followed in terms of advertising and selecting the appointees. Piwko said all district policies were followed.

By TIM RICHARD slallwfiler

The stale L-egislalure would have to Bive a bigger piece of the budget pie lo public schools and property owners would gel a hefty tax cut, if voters approve the Patterson-Afi(lerson "Citizens Tax Limitation" amcndnlenl.

"The combination - high taxes and poor public schools — has frustrated our citizens," economist I'atrick Anderson, one of the leaders, lold an Oakland County Young Republicans (YR) Club meeting .Monday in Farmington Hills.

.Many YR members promised to circulate petitions to get 300,000 signatures to put the proposed con­stitutional amendment on the 1990 slate ballot.

Anderson, an assistant vice presi­dent ol Alexander Hamilton Life In­surance Co., is a close associate of company CEO Richard Headlee, who led the I978 tax limitation amend­ment drive

Brooks Patterson is former Oal<land County prosecutor and the man who "deserves credit for br­inging people together," Anderson .said.

f'elilion forms are available from: Patlenson-Anderson Proposal Comit-tcc, P.O. Box 4721, Troy 48099-9998.

Most of the state's 563 school districts Would see budget increases under their amendment, Anderson said. And property owners in 400 school districts would get tax cuts.

t a x e s . '

Here is how it would work: • In l99l, school operating taxes,

which average 33 mills ($33 per $l,000 of valuation), would be cut to 30 mills and capped there. The gross property tax cut would be $600 million minus $75 million in lost "circuit breaker" income tax rebates. (Those rebates currently go to households whose property taxes exceed 3,5 percent of family income,)

• The Legislature would be re­quired to add $750 mUlion to K-l2 school aid, more than making up for the property tax cuts. That amount is about 10 percent of the entire l990-9l general fund budget of $7 billion.

• Every school district would

receive at least $4,l90 per pupil — the equivalent of 28 mills in property taxes - narrowing the gap between rich and poor districts. School districts levying less than 28 mills would receive a pro-rated share of $4, J90 per pupil.

n Property assessments, rising in many suburban areas at lS percent or more a year, would be capped at the rate of consumer price inflation - about 5 percent a year currently.

To Anderson, it Would be easy for the Legislature to shift 10 percent more of the $7 billion state budget in­to schools.

"The state has cut its contribution to local schools from 45 to 32 percent

of their budgets since 1978," he said, echoing the Michigan State Chamber of Commerce's plea for "new priorities, not new taxes."

Some $75 million of the money would come from property tax rebates that would no longer have to be sent out with income tax refunds, he said.

A major share could come from the so-called "supplemental" budget of $500 million which Gov. James Blan­chard customarily introduces in mid­year.

In an interview, Anderson conced­ed the Legislature may opt to end the entire $600 million program of pro­perty tax rebates, and it might not be a bad idea. "The circuit breaker has functioned as an incentive to raise property taxes," he said.

Michigan politicians often ask tax increases for schools, then divert the money to social services. ''When's the last time you heard a legislator say "we need a tax increase for welfare'?" Anderson asked.

"Michigan has the fourth highest state-local tax burden in the country. You hear (from Blanchard) that We have to 'be competitive' with Korea, Taiwan and Japan. We've gotta be competitive with Tennessee, too. The way to do that is cut taxes," Ander­son said.

Detroit and Pontiac, in particular, would benefit from tax cuts because of their high per-family tax burdens.

"Detroit has a huge number of empty lots and empty houses that people don't pay taxes on," he said.

West Road experienced a number of delays in anlbulance arrivals lor the last year-and-a-haU, said director Stacey McMaster. This has been a worry for sonrle of the 75 seniors Who live there, she added.

McMaster said the drivers fre­quently were unfamiliar with the area and had to be given directions over the phone. Often, ambulances without advance life support systems Answered calls and were not in direct communication with the hospital, she said. ' "When you're dealing with senior citizens, every second counts," McMaster said. "We're talking 12 to l5 minutes tiefore getting an am­bulance here.

"There have been a few times when time is of the essence . . . I've seen residents' families go berserk

because the ambulances hadn't got there and there's nothing you can do but wait."

McMasters says the reponse time has improved over the past few mon­ths and credits the City of Novi for ar­ranging the opening of the new CEMS ambulance station, which is located about V/i miles from The American House.

Sbc-and-a-half years ago, the city entered into an agreement with CEMS, which is owned by Botsford Hospital in Farmington Hills. When 9ll is dialed, the phone caller reaches the city's police department, which in turn may contact the ambulance service. The city's agreement calls for the company to send out am­bulances with advanced life support units.

The city is also concerned that am­bulances without advanced life sup­port systems have answered calls,

Lenaghan said. A basic unit or transfer ambulance

carries bandages, splints. First Aid equipment and oxygen. It is staffed by state licensed basic emergency medical technicians.

In addition to this, an advanced life support unit ambulance carries an electrocardiogram monitor, a medications box, a defibrillator, in-lervenous equipment, advanced air­wave equipment and a biotelemetric commimications unit which allows the paramedic to talk directly to doc­tors at the hospital. An advance life support unit is staffed by licensed paramedics.

Rogers said that because CEMS corporate headquarters is in Novi, at times a transfer ambulance passing through the city may be routed to an emergency call.

"If they were the physically closest ambulance, we would automatically

send them and then follow with an ad­vance life support unit in the majori­ty of cases," he said.

Rogers said the company plans to place identification logos on all ad­vanced life support units to avoid "any confusion on the scene."

Several neighboring communities have recently questioned the level of service provided by CEMS. In September, Plymouth dropped out of an agreement with Northville that called for CEMS to provide advance life emergency services for the two cities. Plymouth instead engaged Huron Valley Ambulance Service.

In a memo on CEMS sent to the Northville police department, Plymouth officials said they were dissatisified with quality of service, the response times, the fact that basic units were sent instead of the agreed-upon advance life support units, and the ambulances were too

long at scene before transporting pa­tients.

Novi, the city and township of Nor­thville, and Farmington Hills all entered into a pact witli CEMS several years ago.

A report on CEMS prepared by the City of Northville Police Department on ambulance runs from May l to September l found reponse times ranging from 3 to 20 minutes, with an average of 8.7 minutes. Thirty per­cent of the runs were over lO minutes.

Medical studies show survival rate of heart attack victims decrease dramatically after eight minutes.

Northville continues to use CEMS's services.

CEMS reponse times have also been closely scrutinized by members of the Lakes Area Residents Associa­tion (LARA).

"It's sometimes 20 to 30 minutes

before an ambulance shows up," said LARA President Sarah Phelps said. "We're not satisfied With the response times."

Keeping tabs on police, fire and ambulance times has been a special assignment for LARA Vice-President Harry Avagian.

"We continue to closely monitor the reponse times. We are happy that they have opened a facility at Thir­teen Mile and Novi Road. We hope it will bring positive results," Avagian said.

Meanwhile, both LARA and the ci­ty plan to continue to keep tabs on the situation.

"I certainly don't Want to make any rash decisions on it. We're not comfortable right now With what we're seeing ri^t now. The manage­ment assures me this Will be cor­rected," Lenaghan said.

Ignorance can be your worst enemy during a Michigan winter.

Your best defense against winter storms is keeping informed about weather conditions, according to Oakland County Emergency Medical Services/Emergency Management personnel.

"A few hours warning can be the difference between being caught in a storm or being safe at home," said Gail Novak, manager of the Oakland County EMS/Emergency Manage­ment. "We urge all Oakland County residents to stay informed about weather conditions in their area."

There are several ways for Oakland County residents to keep up with changing weather developments. The first, and easiest, according to Novak, is to listen to local television and radio forecasts. Also, a tone alerting receiver system is available by purchase through

EMS for businesses and residences. The receiver system is activated

when the National Weather Service issues a severe weather alert. The Oakland County EMS/ Emergency Management's 24-hour personnel then broadcast detailed weather in­formation over the receivers.

The second step to keep informed is to familiarize yourself with terms us­ed by the weather service.

Terms commonly used in winter weather forecasts include:

• Winter Storm Watch - Severe winter Weather conditions may effect your area

O Winter Storm Warning -Severe Winter weather conditions are imminent

• Blizzard — A heavy accumula­tion of snow accompanied by winds of more than 35 miles per hour

For more information about winter survival contact Gail Novak at 858-5300.

NORTHVILLE ~ Norlliville Township Chi(!( of Police Kenneth Hardesty resigned Tuesday in the Wake of an investigation which alleg­ed that he may have violated state and federal laws by selling a township weapon lo Clerk Thomas L.P.Cook

A township official, .speaking on the condition of anonymity, said last week that the township Board of Trustees offered Hardesty a chance to resign, rather than be fired.

Hardesty was a member of the police department for 20 years, and chief for the past eight years.

Township Supervisor Georgina Goss said Tuesday that Hardesty will receive a severance package, and that the township had taken steps to implement a new ethics and conflict of interest policy.

Goss did not reveal the value of the severance package, and said Hardes­ty had not yet signed to accept the plan, although she said that action was expected soon.

Goss al.so said the Board of Trustees had adopted four other

recommendations drafted by township attorney Ernest J. Essad Jr.

Hardesty, contacted at home Tues­day evening, said he would not com­ment on the investigation or his resignation at this time.

Essad conducted the Hardesty in­vestigation, and his findings revealed that the former chief may have il­legally signed a federal tax exemp­tion form when he purchased a Clock 19 semi-automatic handgun for Cook. The form acts as a federal tax waiver for weapons purchased for use by police departments. Cook is not a

member of the Northviile Towrlship Police Department.

Essad's report also indicates that Hardesty avoided state sales taxes with the transactions, and violated another state law which prohibits anyone but the supervisor from sell­ing township property.

The handgiin Hardesty sold to Cook was one of 19 weapons purchased for use by the township police depart­ment. Cook approached Hardesty after the township tward approved the purchase of the Clock Model weapons for $8,ll0, according to the report, and asked the chief to get him

one of the weapons. Hardesty then allegedly attempted

lo get the weapon by overriding ac­cepted departmental policies, in­cluding processing paperwork that is normally handled by a different divi­sion of the police department.

The chief reportedly sold Cook the gun for $320 — the department's cost - and apparently did not pocket any of the money from the sale himself. Cook wrote a check to the township for the full $320.

A police outfitter in Detroit said the retaU price of the Clock l9 is $5ll.l6.

Cook said last week that he asked

the chief to purchase the gun to "cut down on red tape."

Coss said the township has turned over Essad's report to the Michigan State Police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and they will determine if any legal steps are to be taken against Hardesty.

She said the firearm has been returned to the township, and Cook's. check has been returned. ',

Coss said Capt. Phillip Presne|I has been named acting chief, and. that the township would soon begin a search to fill the position.

Consumers Power Company's Winter Protection Plan can take the worry out of winter for senior citizens and low-income customers. The Winter Protection Plan reduces natural gas bills and assures con­tinuous utility service during the heating season.

The Winter Protection Plan allows customers to pay a reduced amount during December, January, February and March and the balance of their actual costs during the re­mainder of the year.

Senior citizens, age 65 and older, can make special monthly payment

arrangements. Low-income customers pay seven percent of their annual bill plus one-twelfth of any amount owed when they enroll in the plan. Participants in the Winter Pro­tection Plan are protected against utility shutoffs.

This customer assistance program

is administered by Consumers Power Company and was initiated by the Michigan Public Service Commis­sion in 1981.

Consumers Power offers several other customer assistance programs including "Third-Party Notifica­tion," where a relative or friend will

be notified before service is discon­tinued, and ''Medical Emergency Protection," which postpones a shutoff where there is a medical emergency.

Customers can learn more about these programs by calling their local Consumers Power office.

ring road at the Trammell Crow Novi Town Center development, a main street in the project Would be lined with primarily two-story buUdings housing a lower commercial level and an upper office or residential level. The main street might include a traffic circle surrounding a monu­ment or park.

The back of the property would in­clude multiple dwelling units such as affordable senior citizen housing, condominiums, apartments and lower density cluster housing, said David Eisenberg, vice-president of Crosswinds Realty in a telephone conversation following the meeting.

The retail development would con­centrate on smaller, higher-end specialty stores similar to those

found in downtown Birmingham. "The retail certainly isn't the type

of retail that wUl compete with the kind of retail already in Novi," Eisenberg said.

The developers have already work­ed in the in the city as the builders ol Crosswinds West Condominiums on Nine Mile. But the style of the town center residential buildings would be "totally different," Eisenberg said.

"I/Ols of brick. The old-time Main Street with brick, brick pavements . . . comfortable for people to walk in, similar to downtown Northviile," Eisenberg said.

"You're not going to find a four-story office building with lots of con­crete in this project."

"They'd (the town center steering committee) like to keep away from the seas of asphalt and get into more

unique types of development. Thai's what interested me when I first came in. I thought it'd be exciting."

A tentative schedule for the project calls for Crosswinds Realty to work out a preliminary site plan with the city from March to June 1990 and to seek zoning and ordinance changes, wetlands and woodlands approvals, roads utilities and taxes. The bulk of the land is currently zoned for multi­ple housing, non-center commercial and business.

The 58-acre site is just south to a proposed redevelopment area along Novi Road, where at least one in­dustrial business — KMH Equipment Company — has been approached about moving to a proposed in­dustrial park, paving the way for redevelopment of the area.

The Town Center Steering Commit­

tee's design district for the southeast quadrant also calls for an office-tech park south of the proposed Main Street. A city park has been proposed for a site to the southeast of the parcel.

The town center committee is also studying the remaining three quadrants surrounding the Grand River/Novi Road intersection.

Site plans for tile district would be approved first by the Town Center Steering Committee, which would pass on its recommendation to the planning commission. The final deci­sion would rest with the city council.

The committee's goal is to create macro- and micro-design perimeters to provide guidelines for developers interested in the area.

lt appears that Novi city officials in general and Fire Chief Arthur LenaghaIi in pai-ticular have made legitimate headway toward solving a major public safety problem in the ci­ty-

What's more, it appears that they have done so without spending an ex­orbitant number of tax dollars.

What we're talking about is the progress that has been made over the past few months in dealing with poor fire-response times.

The issue surfaced earlier this year when representatives of the Lakes Area Residents Association (LARA) made some serious allega­tions regarding the fire department's response time to fire and other emergency calls. LARA Vice presi­dent Harry Avagian, who said he had been monitoring fire department response times for approximately 18 months, told the Novi City Council that he had recorded response times of 23,23 and 25 minutes.

On some occasions, Avagian reported, there had been no response to calls whatsoever.

Avagian's allegations were more or less substantiated by Lenaghan himself. The chief reported in June that there had been eight emergency call^ to Fire Station No. Two (Thir­teen Mile) since January 1 which had gone unanswered. Further, Lenaghan acknowledged that it had taken 15 to 20 minutes to respond to a substantial number of calls.

G o v e r n m e n t

There are now indications that those efforts have been met with some success.

Lenaghan, who has been monitor­ing the effectiveness of the sleep-over )rogram, told the city council recent-y that all calls for emergency service

have been answered since the sleep-over program was initiated.

Average response times at all four city fire stations for the year ranged from a low of 4.7 minutes to a high of 11.6 minutes.

In an attempt to resolve — or at least alleviate — the response time problem, city officials took two primary steps. First, they initiated a sleep-over program and, second, they launched an intensive recruitment program, designed to increase the number of paid on-call staff throughout the city.

The sleep-over program is pro­bably the single largest factor in br­inging about the improved response times. Basically, the program in­volves paying the on-call firefighters for sleeping in the fire stations Mon­day through Saturday nights. The simple premise is that they will be able to respond faster if they are already at the fire station when the call comes in.

Total cost of the sleep-over pro­gram has been $18,200 — far less than what it would cost in salaries and fr­inge benefits to hire one additional full-time firefighter.

City officials are continuing to study means for improving emergen­cy response times in the fire depart­ment. Certainly, there are other alternatives to be explored.

In the meantime, the city deserves good grades for enacting ef­fective measures for dealing with a serious problem.

P a t r o l l i n g t h e s u b s

And while we're handing out pats on the back, a few kind words appear in order for the Novi Police Depart­ment for the apprehension of three, suspects on charges that they smash­ed out car windows in the Meadowbrook Glens subdivison last week.

Crime in the suburbs is different than crime in the cities. Stories which make front-page news in suburbia would be discarded without a second thought in urban areas.

Take the rash of M D O P (malicious destruction of property) complaints in Novi during the past three weeks, for example. Beginning on Thanksgiving Eve, police have log­ged more than 30 reports of unknown individuals shooting out the windows of vehicles parked along the street in the city's residential areas.

"MDOP/vehicle" complaints are not news in Detroit, but they are news

in Novi. For three consecutive weeks, we have carried stories about the vandalism on the front page. Anyone who thinks it's not important news has not been victimized. .Anyone who thinks it's not front-page material has not had to shell out $150 to $200 to have his or her windows repaired.

That's why it's good to know that the Novi Police Department has been vigilant and managed to apprehend three suspects who they believe may be responsible for some of the MDOPs.

Charges have not been filed and the case remains under investigation. At this point it's impossible to know whether the three suspects were responsible for all the incidents... or none of them.

Still, Novi police deserve credit for demonstratmg that they're on the job of protecting the property of local residents.

T a k i n g t i m e t o h e l p

Dodgmg holiday traffic on a cold, windy morning might not be the most enoyable way to spend a Saturday morning in December.

But that's what the Novi Goodfellows were doing last Satur­day. The Goodfellows, who are also members of the Novi Fire Depart­ment, were stationed at the busiest in­tersections In the city for approx­imately four hours on Saturday morn­ing to sell special Goodfdlow editions

provided by The Novi News.

Novi Fire Lt. Don Dominick reported Wednesday that the Goodfellows raised almost $2,500 by selling the Goodfellow editions. T';° group wUI use the funds to meet its stated objective: "No kid without a Christmas."

During one of the busiest seasons ofthe year, it's good to see that people still make time in their schedules to helpothers.

H o w t o b u i l d a d o w n t o w n

C a n y o u m a k e a downtown? I guess I'm skep­tical.

The Town Cerlter Steering Committee put forward a pro-posal to make a new "downtown" Novi in the area southeast of the Novi Road and Grand River intersection. The area which right now does not look a whole iot like a downtown.

City hotshots have spent the better part of the last five years or so trying to convince us that the Town Center was going to be Novi's downtown. When the first Town Center plan was unveiled, long before Mervyn's and F&M were even a glint in Trammell Crow's eye, it was touted as being a pedestrian experience. A place where the people of Novi would gather, sit on benches -and maybe hear outdoor concerts.

Well, as many people know. Town Center is a great shopping area — but it's no pedestrian plaza. Perhaps in the summertime some of the benches will be used, but realistically, not too many people are walking or biking to that intersection these days. It's just too busy a place and we're trained to get in our cars to go shopp­ing.

Even the Town Center Steering Committee has ad­mitted that. They've thrown in the towel on Grand River and Novi Road. They finally realize that no amount of nice words will change the fact that thousands of cars go rushing by on their way to freeways and malls. That's a fact.

So they've got a plan. Build a nice little downtown, they say. Move it away from that intersection. Make it brick and relatively low to the ground. Model it on a suc­cessful downtown - say NorthvUle's. Add some residential zoning. Make sure the commercial is cute, trendy, upscale. That's the plan.

So why am l such a cynic?

I have a feeling that downtown's are bom, not made. That whenever developers and planners come together with a vision in their minds, dollar signs tend to take over.

I also have a feeling that Novi may be attempting to

create by artifice what isn't there, and by doing so it may be taking away from the feeling that is there.

Do people really stand around in their backyards and talk over their fences saying, "Yea, this Novi, it's great and all, but it doesn't have a downtown." "Sure, I plunked down $200,000 for a house here, but I'll tell you, I'd like it a lot more if there was a downtown."

l know what a downtown means to me. It's the place I go to buy another can of paint when I run out while painting the bathroom. It's where I can get my haircut, take my clothes to the cleaners and buy milk. It's the place where I go on summer evenings to get an ice cream cone and talk to neighbors out for the same reason. It's where kids go to buy candy and comic books, and to ride their skateboards until somebody throws them out. That's a downtown.

And in Novi — that downtown has always existed. I used to call the A&P at the comer of Meadowbrook and Ten Mile roads, Novi's downtown. It seemed everytime I went grocery shopping I met someone I knew. Some days it was like a little reunion over in the meat depart-ment.

When I did a story on Jerry's Barber Shop when Jerry Sheridan was running for mayor, I found out that to an awful lot of people Jerry's was downtown Novi. They came in for a trim and to catch up on the latest gossip. For the same reason a bunch of people could make a fairly good case that The Farm (forever called the Goat Farm by those who've been around a few years) is downtown Novi.

What about the Cone Zone? How many little leaguers have celebrated victories at the Cone Zone? How many of us have wiled away a few pleasant hours over hot fudge sundaes there? That spells downtown to me.

Novi is a city of subdivisions, which are entities un­to their own. Some people who don't know Novi think of it as the mall, or crowded roads. Those who live here know better. Beautiful houses on quiet streets. Children playing, neighbors chatting. That's the core of Novi. And no amount of fabrication will enhance or destroy that.

I hope the downtown works. But if it doesn't — that's okay. Because I think Novi has done just fine and doesn't need to copy anyone.

W i n t e r c o u r t y a r d

M e l l o w i n g o u t i n t r a f f i c j a m s

George Bush's call for a "kindler, gentler America" might be having an effect: I base this conclusion on two observations — one, the mellowiDg factor and, two, hassle-free traffic jams.

In temls of the mellowing factor, I have been struck by the number of people who have told me lately that they are mellowing. Bo Schembechler has been saying it for several years now, and it's starting to catch on.

I was talking to the Novi basketball and wrestling coaches over the weekend, and both of them told me quite independently that they've "mellowed" a lot in re­cent years.

But what really grabbed me was the hassle-free

traffic jam. I had done some shopping at Twelve Oaks on Saturday and was headed home around 4 p.m. Needless to say, the roads in and out of the mall were jammed. I didn't check my watch, but I would guess it took 15 minutes to get out to Novi Road for the trip back to Northville-

There's nothing unusual about heavy traffic during the holiday crush. What was unusual was that nobody was upset about it..

I looked at the faces of drivers in other cars. Nobody was upset. Nobody looked angry. Nobody was trymg to zoom in and out of traffic. Everybody was polite and courteous. There were smiles even. It seem­ed like everyone had accepted the fact that it was going to take awhile to get out of that parking lot and had decided not to let it bother them.

Now I'm not saying I could grow to love traffic jams, but the one last Saturday wasn't too bad. Then • again, maybe I'm just mellowing like everybody else.

To the Editor: Throughout the recent controversy

concerning fire department response times, the Novi Firefighters Associa­tion has remained silent preferring our actions and dedication to duty to be our response.

However, the recent statement by the Vice President of the Lakes Area Residents Association (LARA) that Ule fire department only "operates from 8 in the morning to 5 in Uie afternoon Monday through Friday" is a harsh and unwarranted insult to the lnembers of this community who serve as paid-on-call firefighters.

All that changes after 5 p.m. is an increase in average response time, aii inherent factor in the paid-on-call system.

Novi is hardly unique in this regard. According to the National Fjre Protection Association, less than 6 percent of all fire departments in this country are fully-paid career departments, with the vast majority of those departments serving com­munities much larger and With far greater resources than the City of Novi.

In other terms, over 50 percent of the population of this country is serv­ed by mostly .volunteer or all-Volunteer fire departments.

The argument could always l)e made that a fully staffed, full-time fire department would be the ultimate answer in reducing response times. Similarly, it could be said that a fire station on every cor­ner would be much better than four stations, but there are practical and economical realities that must be

L e t t e r s

dealt with. Each year paid-on-call members of

the department devote hundreds of hours in uncompensated time acquir­ing advanced levels of training, for only one purpose — to better serve the citizens of this community.

This dedication was furUler rein­forced with the introduction of Ule se­cond shift (sleep-in) program. Novi was one of the first departments in the area to adopt this innovative pro­gram, and as a result, is able to pro­vide a level of service Ulat is un­surpassed by the many departments in the area that are either totally or mostly volunteer.

This program, which has had a significant positive impact on response times, operates at a total yearly cost considerably less than the cost for salary and benefits for a single full-time firefighter.

While we certainly thank Ule city council and city administration for their support and funding, the simple fact remains Ulat this program would not exist except for the willingness of the paid-on-call firefighters to spend an even greater amount of time away from their homes and families.

The Novi Firefighters Association believes the current combination of full-time and paid-on-call staffing is a highly cost-effective and efficient means of providing quality emergen­

cy services. This position was affirm­ed by the Police/Fire Needs Commit­tee which spent several months carefully assessing the requirements of the community and the alter­natives available.

We would hope that the efforts made by Ulis small group of citizens in protecting and serving their neighbors Would warrant the respect and support of the community.

Robert K. Andrews, president Novi Firefighters Association

Perhaps they should just share these feelings at basketball games or at parent/teacher organizations when they come together.

Perhaps they should talk about It at home and sort it out as a family over the kitchen table.

Perhaps they should try to express their ideas to teachers and ad­ministrators so Ulat some change may be effected. What are the conse­quences of taking this action?

Give some Ulought to these ideas and questions just as I am trying to sort them out for myself.

P.S. Congratulations to the debate teams for a job well done In '89. You are all winners.

To Ule Editor: Do parents have any right to have

an input into the curriculum of their students in the schools?

If they don't, then what do they do when they disagree with the level of academics or have a problem with the values or materials being in­troduced within the classroom?

If they do have a right to have input into the curriculum their student is exposed to, then where do they voice their opinions? What forum do we have to share our thoughts and ideas with the school system?

Perhaps they should be quiet and let it go. It's much easier for all in­volved.

To Ule Editor: Regarding "The Grand Plan" and

Haggerty Road connector. Why doesn't Ule Novi City Council

stop playing games and change the road signs at Novi Road and Grand River to read SouUifield and Green­field Roads? They could also change our civic center to Southfield Civic Center.

That's what Uley want isn't it? A concrete jungle!

While they're at it Uley could sell all Uie land north of Twelve Mile to the City of Walled Lake. Then maybe I could be like the song, "Don't worry, be happy".

Clowns, wild animals, acrobats and death-defying stunts all add up to the greatest show on earth and the ex­citement and thrills of today's circus.

Though most of the circuses seen to­day seat thousands in arenas such as Detroit's Joe Louis

Arena or the Pontiac Silverdome, the ma­jority of circuses in America before the 1950's were performed under large canvas tents.

but tents. The smell of sawdust hangs in the air, and all the circus personnel take on multiple roles, from setting up chairs to juggling under the spot light, from selling popcorn to taming wild animals.

; This may sound like a scene from the p st, but Northville and Novi have both been the sites of the traditional, old-fashioned tent shows in recent years.

' The Franzen Brothers Circus played at Novi's Lakeshore Park in August, 1986. One year later, Northville saw the big top rise at Northville Downs Racetrack, converting an ordinary parking lot into a place of magic ahd enchantment.

; The Great American Circus, like others of times past, made use of their hard­

working elephants to erect and dismantle the tent, as well as for performing elaborate routines during the show.

The circus is an ancient form of enter­tainment, and has been bringing pleasure to audiences for centuries.

When brought to America from Europe in the late 18th century, the circus took on a completely new look. Few cities in the new country were financially able to support the permanent circus theaters still seen in Euro­pean cities today, and a new form was need­ed.

The portable tent show, setting up fairly quickly and moving completely from town to town, proved to be an instant success, and by the I820's the big top was an American in-

-'Stitution.---- ------ -'--- '----«--™- -- '-'-*====- "-™^

While European circuses still perform in one ring, the multi-ring show is unique to America. The second ring was introduced in the I870's, and a prime showman named P.T. Bamum and his partner James Bailey created the three-ring circus 10 years later.

The circus was a popular form of amuse­ment for 19th century Detroit-area residents. Bailey's Circus performed in Detroit ul 1864. Along with equestrian and acrobatic feats, the circus presented a clown named Jimmy Reynolds as the featured performer.

In 1869, a tent show in Plymouth had near-disastrous results when a rainstorm collapsed the huge tent. Though the scene that followed was described as "laughable" by The Northville Record, the paper admit­ted that "Had there been a large crowd.

severe accidents might have been the result."

P.T. Bamum was a show in himself. In 1878, the Northville Record exclaimed gleefully of the impending visit in July of the venerable showman to Detroit and Ann Ar­bor.

The paper raved, "There is only one Bamum and the veteran is coming... Bar-num a greater curiosity than all the wonder­ful objects with which his present 'Greatest Show on Earth' abounds."

Bamum's appearance at each show was guaranteed, and readers were en­thusiastically encouraged to attend.

Ringling Brothers, the current successor JaBamum, performed their last tent show in 1956, and the number of traveling troupes soon dropped significantly throughout the country.

The two circus companies that came to the Novi/Northville areas are in the minori­ty. Today, only a handful of traveling shows still exist, performing to small-town crowds.

Despite television, men in space, com­puters and modem technology, the old-fashioned tent shows are still able to enthrall and mesmerize, as they have for hundreds of years.

Barbara Louie is the local history librarian at the Novi Public Library. She is currently working on two books of history — one on Novi, the other on Northville. Her columns about the history of Novi will appear regularly on the pages of The Novi News.

All the elements were there - a police chief accused of some kind of im­propriety; the top local lawman held prisoner to a swirl­ing, explosive mix-ture of guns and m o n e y , w i t h whispers of a police department coup threatening to blow the top off a boiling.

small-town political cauldron.

: Sources crawling out of the woodwork, eiager to speak off the record. Officials wary ^ d tight-lipped. Grudging confirmation by the township attorney that an investigation was ongoing.

; In short, the type of story reporters dream ^bout.

1 But as I stood in the corridor of Northville Township Hall with Police Chief Ken Hardesty last week, as the high priests of the tpwnship met to ponder his fate, I felt no joy, 110 killer instinct.

: I just felt sorry for a man who was about to lose his career, the only life he had known the past 20 years.

Hardesty, the Northville Township Chief Police, paced restlessly, perhaps hopelessly, as the Board of Trustees decided how to ex­ecute the inevitable. Moments earlier, he had been given the opportunity to tell all, to fefute the charges of an improper gun sale

brought forth by attorney Ernest Essad.

Pale and emotional, the chief represented himself (we all groaned inwardly and felt a bit ashamed when he appeared without an attorney), and he must have felt forever alone as he faced the grtm board. There was to be no quibbling about budgets or man-power shortages here, the talk was based on potential illegalities and termination.

And then he stood with me, both of us banished from the board's chambers, ex­changing embarrassed small talk. I knew he was gone and I got the feeling he did as well.

His words were framed by a pained dismay, and he choked back the tears that must have flowed later that evening, when he told me how the toughest part was having to tell his kids what had happened. I could only nod and offer hollow encouragement.

And after neariy two hours, the board recessed, and the attorneys whisked the chief off to a back room and informed him that as of Dec. 12, he was going to be an ex-chief. Resign or be fired, they told him, and they tossed in a severance pay inducement to keep things from getting any messier than they already were.

And you know the dull ache that had resonated in his head the past few weeks pounded to an unmanageable extreme, and he slipped away and drove home on the bit­terly cold evening, wondering what he was going to do next.

Privately, township officials admitted that

they had no choice but to get nd of Hardesty. It's still foggy as to whether or not he intend­ed to break any laws when he attempted to honor Tom Cook's request to get him one of those flashy new Glock 19 handguns, but the move to dump the chief was apparently spawned in the back rooms of the police department, and ill feelings spread like a killer cancer.

Rumor had it that Hardesty broke a police code of honor, and an insider admitted that while the police hadn't made the snowball, there were plenty of them pushing it downhill once it got rolling.

The township knew the department was in disarray, and to kill the serpent, they had to chop off its head. That's politics, and the board clearly did not enjoy the task, but they knew it had to be done.

Now, the former chief sits at home and thinks about today and worries about tomor­row, and I'll remember talking to him a cou­ple of weeks ago — before the whole affair blew open - as he talked with pride about how his son was determined to get into West Point, how they had planned it for years, and that someday it was going to become a reali­ty.

And I'll think about him having to tell his son that be won't be going back to work for Northville Township, and that once the word gets out, the other kids in school will make it rough on him.

A sorry situation, indeed, but that's life in the public eye.

JAMES R. WAHL

On November 21st, the City of Novi announced a new planning and development initiative, the COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RELOCATION AND ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM. The purpose Of tllis development program is tO provide an opportunity for the Community's existing, non-conforming, industrial uses tO "relocate" to a planned. Stale Certified Indusuial Park. At lhe present time, many long-standing

Novi industries are lOcated in commercial and office disuicts where traffic and land use conflicts have become a problem. The RELOCATION AND ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM would enable these businesses tO expand and modernize iheir facilities while also Opening up acreage for office parks and planned cOmmercial developments.

The RELOCATION AND ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM is a voluntary, pro-active, public/private partnership. The City of Novi is not merely planning and zoning sites for development, but is also participating with local industries, developers, and red estate prOfessionals in implementing tliis initiative. The stale Certified Industrial Park is prOposed to be located on approximately 250 acres in Section 18. The City, prOperty owner and developer, and relocation candidates will be working to construct an iilfrasructure system (roads and utilities), preserve natural resources on the site, and provide suitable buffers, landscaping, signage, and City entryways. In order to accomplish such a high quality project, selected tax abatements, in accordance with PA 198, will be recommended to the City Council.

The City Of NOvi has established an Ad Hoc Committee to manage the RELOCATION AND ENHANCEWMENT PROGRAM. The recommendations of this group have now been presented to the Planning Commission and City Council for formal consideration. Formal Public Hearings on the proposals are scheduled for the Planning Commission Agenda, Wednesday, December 20, 1989 at 7:30 PM, City Council Chambers. Concerned citizens, area residents, business and industflal property owners, and developers arc encouraged lo attend these review sessions. The City of Novi will be considering U1ls input and reviewing the program proposals accordingly.

By CATHERINE BIUEK

; Valente's Gifts & Collectibles may be off the beaten path, but it captures the unique Northviile charm. Iwocated at 2l9 Hutton Street, the .ishop, which opened in September, carries a variety of items that delight avid collectors or customers looking for a one-time special purchase.

"Nobody in town really recognizes a location as being in town if it's not on Main Street or Center Street," said owner Al Valente. But Valente promotes his shop and its unique merchandise in an effort to change that attitude. : "There are no gift shops like this in Northviile that carry these collec­tibles," he emphasized.

Collectibles increase in value rJipidly, providing an interesting way to make money. : Walking through the small shop is an adventure . . . a flight of fantasy.

-You don't know which way to look. .You take a step and are stopped in :your tracks. You turn, and see something that takes your breath iaway. Everyone has a favorite... an image that tweaks a special .'memory. Valente's is a virtual time ;irhachine.

The store carriues unique Jack-in-,'the-boxes with characters from the ;Wizard of Oz - the Tin Man, > rothy, the Cowardly Lion and the .Sti recroW. ;T5'here are a Variety of carousels and music boxes with ballet dancers, skating girls and other familiar

figures on top. The Dickens Village and the

Original Snow Village have a special old-world charm.

There's an assortment of "Gone with the Wind" plates and figurines. The figurines of literature's most romantic couple are not only popular, but very profitable, as are most collectibles.

Other interesting musical figurines include a clown playing the "squeeze box" and another playing the violin, and a cowboy whistling his favorite tune. Norman Rockwell sculptures and collectors plates are also popular.

A treasure trove of collectibles and other specialty items ranging in price from a $2 brass bell to a $3,400 Chilmark pewter stage coach are available at Valente's.

Christmas ornaments, collector's plates and porcelain dolls, are part of the fare. Native Indians and clowns stand along side brides and cherubs. Renowned SWarovski Crystal is featured, as are collectables by Liar-do Hummels, David Winter, Lowell Davis, Ami, Disney, Dickens, Snow Village and Precious Moments. Em-mett Kelly, Jr. can be found, as can characters from the Wizard of Oz, Beatrix Potter and Gone With the Wind.

The Enchanted Kingdoms collec-tion by Ann Arbor-native John Hopkins offers a flight into fantasy. Colorful, magical castles and wizards perform their sorcery on wistful dreamers.

Al Valente straightens a display at his new gift shop near Northville's downtown district

Especially appropriate at Ulis time of year are the Perillo American In­dian nativity sets.

Specially-commissioned "Nor­thviile" T-shirts and sweatshirts are exclusive to Valente's. The colorful shirts depict many of the city's land­marks."

Valente is actively involved in the community. He and John Genitti, owner of Genitti's Hole in the Wall restaurant, purchased a trolly to -transport shoppers and to use on special occasions. The trolley is a non-profit service, supported by

advertising, on the exterior of the vehicle. A box for donations is located inside the trolly.

Valente said that the Merchant's Association and the Northviile Com­munity Chamber of Commerce are also involved.

"I believe m attracthig people to Northviile . . . to experience all the Victorian homes and to see what We have here," he said.

"It's a combined effort of a lot of retailers. It's good for the city and good for the residents," he stressed.

Owning a gift shop is a "relaxing" sideline for Valente, who also owns the neighboring Little Italy restaurant. He has been in the restaurant business since 1973 when he abandoned a 20-year career ?s a record promoter. The career change was motovated by Motown's move to California.

KnoioDyuiihisuuY

Valente opened three carry-out pizzerias and a restaurant. Restorante Di Maria in West Bloom­field still remains in business. A family operation, it is operated by his wife Joyce, who makes the pastries, and his son Jeffrey, Who is the chef.

Little Italy is also a family opera­tion, with nephew John Gallagher as chef. Next summer, outside dining will add to the restaurant's con­siderable charm.

WhUe you're wrapping up your holiday packages, don't forget to wrap up your tax year as well. In the next few weeks, you can take some quick tax-action steps that can result ill a lower tax bill.

Start by reviewing your miscellaneous expenses, suggests the Michigan Association of CPAs. Although miscellaneous expenses are deductible only to the extent they exceed 2 percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI), they can still provide substantial tax benefits. For example, a taxpayer with an AGI of $20,000 can deduct any miscellaneous expenses in excess of $400.

Of course, miscellaneous expenses can help reduce your taxes only if you itemize, so find out now whether you will be able to itemize on your l989 tax return. If some quick calculations indicate that itemizing is in your future, you may be able to vault over the 2-percent threshold by accelerating some of your qualified expenses into this year. To help you get off to a running start, here's a list of miscellaneous expenses taxpayers often overlook.

Attend a Work-Related Seminar. Before the month ends, attend a one-or two-day seminar related to your current job. Educational expenses for courses that maintain or improve your job skills are generally deducti­ble as a miscellaneous expense.

Stock Up On Uniforms. Does your job require you to wear a uniform? If so, December may be a good time to pick up a few extra sets of work clothes. To be deductible, the clothes must be suitable for general wear. The expense may help you reach or pass the 2-percent threshold.

Start Subscribing. You can deduct the subscription cost of any

M o n e y M a n a g e m e n t

newspaper or magazine related to your business. In addition, you can write off subscription fees to invest­ment or tax-related magazines. But the costs have to be reasonable. If you take out a three-year subscrip­tion, you can generally deduct only one-third of the entire cost. The re­maining two-thirds can be deducted in subsequent years.

Buy Tax Books. If you want extra advice this tax season, start purchas­ing tax publications liefore the year ends. Any tax book you buy now will trim your taxes in April.

Join A Professinoal Society or Union. The membership fees or union dues constitute a miscellaneous ex­pense.

Look For A Job. If you are con­templating a job change, start poun­ding the pavement ri^t away. Any job-hunting expenses you incur through the remainder of the year can be written off on your 1989 return. Eligible expenses include phone calls, transportation costs and fees charged by a career counselor. In addition, any cost related to revis­ing your resume — from typesetting fees to xeroxing charges — is deduc­tible.

Get A Safe Deposit Box. Store in­vestment papers or taxable securities in a safe deposit box altd the fees become deductible.

Hire An Appraiser. If you hire an appraiser to evaluate a real estate in­vestment or the value of a charitable

contribution, the appraisal fees In either situation are fully deductible. Remember, too, that If you donate property valued at more than $5,000, an independent appraisal Is not op­tional — it's mandatory.

Give A Holiday Party For Clients or Employees. Here's a great way to score points with clients or employees, and reduce your tax bill at the same time. Hold a legitimate business meeting and follow It up with a holiday gathering and you may be able to deduct 80 percent of the expenses. Be sure to document the purpose and extent of the business meeting, the names of at-tendees and all related expenses.

Buy Flowers For Your Secretary. Or send a get-well bouquet to an employee laid up Ul the hospital. You may deduct the cost of business gifts worth up to $25 presented to any one person In one year.

Deduct Misceilaneous Business Ex­penses. You can also deduct miscellaneous business expenses, such as those incurred by mailing holiday cards to employees or clients, but be ready to prove that the

cards serve a valid business function. Other items that may fall under

this category include buying a poster for your office or a pen and pencil set for your desk.

See A Tax Advisor. You know that tax preparation fees are deductible, but do you know that you can also deduct the cost of consulting a tax ad­visor about the tax implications of a divorce or an employment contract? If you have any questions on these matters remember that a meeting held In 1989 may turn Into a very smart Investment — and a much-needed tax deduction.

Visit your Financial Advisor. If you're worried about the per­formance of your favorite stock or mutual fund, visit your financial ad­visor. If the visit is "ordinary and necessary" and you discuss your In­vestments, the costs of attending the meeting are usually deductible.

Deduct Business Meals. You can generally deduct 80 percent of the cost of a business meal if it Is "direct­ly related to" or "associated with" the active conduct of your trade or business. Just make sure the ex­penses are not lavish or extravagant. If your company does not reimburse your business meal expenses, you must add the 80 percent to your other miscellaneous itemized deductions.

These are just a few of the miscellaneous expenses that you may be able to deduct.

Jf you lilce a little of everything in your Christmas decorating, an area resident can give you a few tips on where to get it.

Try the craft shops in the Smoky Mountai.ns of Tennessee, said Sherry Whiltaker of Oakwood Meadows in Green Oak Township,

The Whittakers - Sherry and hus­band Gary — really love Christmas and enjoy decorating for it the way most people enjoy taking a vacation. It's a total all-out effort to celebrate, always keeping in mind that Jesus is the "heart" of Christmas.

Members of the Calvary Baptist Church in Plymouth, the Whittakers invite their whole congregation, plus friends and relatives in to enjoy the Christmas season with them.

Jlot cider, steaming in a crockpot and filling the air with a delightful aroma, is always ready for guests. Christmas cookies are also close at hand - some purchased from a baKery and some made with loving care in Sherry's kitchen.

"We had 450 guests through herein December last year," Sherry said from the comfort of her Christmas bedecked family room.

And the dining room table is

A shepherd-style Santa is a special

guest at Whittakers

always set for guests in a Christmas theme With lots of red napkins and candy canes, Santa plates and plaid placements. The centerpiece consists of greens and candles. The chandelier above the table is well dressed with greens and a small lighted tree adorns the bay window.

The front "parlor" of the Whit-taker home is the sitting room for ''Grandma and Grandpa," llfesize stuffed figures purchased at a craft shop in the Smokies. An old-time Wociden wagon holds a load of "kids," also ready for Christmas.

From the mantel in the family room hang decorative stockings for the Whittakers' three youngsters — Jamie, l4, Carrie, ll, and Travis, 7. Christmas lights and greens are tastefully displayed everywhere!

The floor-to-ceiling Christmas tree has the old-fashioned flavor of pop­corn and cranberries carefully strung by Sherry and the children. What appears to be comhusk ribbons and bows on the tree are actually a form of "paper twist" which Sherry purchased at a craft shop.

"Real cornhusks take too long to do and this really gives the tree an old-fashioned look, I think," she explain-

I The stocl(ings are hung by the chimney with care

The heart of Christmas for the Whittaker family is Jesus Christ

ed. "We always have a real tree and this is a Fraser fir that holds its needles well."

In the family's eating "nook" where food is served when the dining room table is set for Christmas, another "granny" figure with a bowl of apples on her lap sits by the fireplace. Greens and miniature lights decorate all the hanging lights in the Whittaker home.

"I get a lot of ideas from Country Living magazine," Sherry admitted. "We know a lot of people who make furniture and We have ordered some of our things from them."

The figures in the nativity scene are also attractively carved in a sim­ple folk-art manner by a "girl in the Smokies." More greens and lights give the creche a seasonal backdrop.

While the Inside of the Whittaker home is a delightful setting for celebrating the birth of Christ, the outside is the drawing card which beckons to all Who drive by. Many cars just stop for a few minutes While

the passengers take in the scene. A huge heart, outlined With red

lights, is the centerpiece for the large Nativity scene in the front yard. It enforces the message of Christ as the heart of Christmas.

A large painted plywood Christmas card proclaiming a similar message of Christ sets beside the Whittaker driveway at the north side of their yard and a group of carolers "sing" for company.

On the lifter side of the season, a smiling Santa with his sleigh and prancing reindeer decorate the Whit­takers' roof. A line of toy soldiers lights the driveway for visitors.

A lighted "Merry Christmas" sign welcomes guests and another Santa figure stands on the porch. This year Gary also dressed the backyard and deck with lights that reflect over the small lake in the center of their sub­division.

"Each year we try to add a Santa to our collection (every room has at least one)." Sherry commented.

"We've been putting out some new lights or decorations every year since we were married 15 years ago. We lived in Livonia before moving to the South Lyon area."

The Whittakers' passion for collec­ting Christmas decorations created the almost overwhelming task of where to store everything during the other l l months of the year.

"When We built this house three years ago, we planned it so that there is storage over the garage for all the Christmas things and lots of elec­trical outlets both inside and out," Sherry explained.

"When Gary goes up in the storage space and gets it all down in November, we check all the lights in the garage before putting anything up. It really works out well and it is very handy."

Sherry's advice to other homeowners on Christmas decorating is simple — study the magazines, visit the craft shops and add a little something new each year.

I t ' s s i m p l e t o c h a r t d e s i g n s

By Lois Winston

I'll bel you're thinking, "What? Me chart my own designs?"

Ftclax. It's really quite simple. Like so fnany others things that at first ap­pear frighU'uUy difficillt, it's easy once you know what to do.

RefnelTlber the first piece of counted cross-slllch you ever saw? You probably thoughi, "I could never do that. I'd go blind."

And then, before you knew it, you were hooked on counted cross-sUtch, right?

The same thing can happen with charting. The key, as In all crafls, is to siart simply. Master the technique and then progress to more dinicult pieces.

To get started, you'll need a pad of tracing graph paper. These contain several sheets each of 10-, 14-, 18-and 22counl graphs. You'll also need a pencil, some colored pencils and a simple line drawing like those in children's coloring books. Our practice design has straight vertical and hori/onial lines (easy to chart) plus diagonals and curves (more dilBcull).

Decide what count fabric to work on and how big you want your fin­ished piece to be.

For instance, Lfyour picture is 4 by 4 inches and you want it to he that size When stitched on 14-countAida. choose 14-count graph paper. If you want your stitching to be larger than drawing, choose larger count paper and smaller coilnt fabric.

For example, a 4-by-4-inch draw­ing on 18-count paper gives you 72 by 72 stitches for your design. Stltchcdon 14-count Cabrlcyourde-slgnWillbeabout 5'/» by5'/s Inches.

If you want your stitching to be

smaller than the drawing, choose smaller count paper and larger count fabric.

A simple formula; The size ofthe

original drawing times the number squares per Inch of the graph paper divided by the numbier of stitches per Inch of the fabric equals the finished

size of lhe stitched piece. Remember to allow additional

fabric for background area plus VA inches or so for finishing.

Let's get started. Place the graph paper over the di awlng tape; tape It In place If you lilte. As you Imow, one square of the paper will represent one stitch.

Use pendl to outline around each square that conresponds to a line on the design. For Vertical and horizon­tal lines, this will simply be tracing over existing lines. Where a drawn line falls between two graph lines, choose the line that Will coVer more of the drawing.

Trace diagonal lines in steps. This may mean going up and over one square or several, depending on the angle of the line.

A curve is charted like a diagonal but instead ofgoimUnjvist one direc­tion, you'ii iiiive to change directions as the curve changes. Sometimes you'll have to make slight adjust­ments to maintain syn1met1y. It's more Important that the two sides of the heart be IdenUcal than that the chart exactly follows the drawing.

If there are two areas within one square, choose the square for the area that covers more of that square. If two areas share the square equally, you'll have to make a visual decision as to which Is more appropriate.

When the lines are all mapped out on tlie graph paper, color In the squares With pencil and you're ready to stitch your charted design.

That Wasn't so hard. Was it? Before you know it, you'll be charting de­signs With complicated shaded areas.

Happy charting—happy sUtchlng.

Q: We have an older home with as-bestos shingles. They seem to be In fairly good condition, but they are dis-colored and look dirty.

Can this type of shingle be painted? If so, what type of products should we US89-A.W.

A; You should be able to paint the asbestos shingles. However, I sug­gest that you thoroughly inspect the condltlon ofthe shinies before start­ing. You Want to make sure that they are In good condition, and Worth the InVestment of time and money re-qulred for the new paint Job.

If the shingles are damaged or cracked, you must take precautions. Asbestos is hazardous to your health If Its fihiers become alrlxime and are Inhaled, which can occur If the shin­gles are damaged. It Is best to consult or hire an asbestos-removal profes­sional for advice.

If the shingles are In good condi­tion, clean the siding by using a gar­den hose and a soft-bristle brush. Apply a primer and a coat of either latex- or oU-based paint. A second top coat Will add to the durability of the new finish.

Q: I had my patio enclosed and a parquet wood flooring Installed. My problem Is that rainwater from a cell­ing leak has stained the wood In one comer. This area has turned dark brown, with a few black spots. I called a floor refinishlng expert who Indi­cated that he could not repair this small section without refinishlng the entire floor, at a cost In excess of $1,000.

Do you have any suggestions on how I might repair the damaged sec-tlon and blend the finish with the rest of the floor?—J.D.

A: The solution to this problem varies depending on hoWmuch ofthe stained area penetrates the Wood.

First clean the darkened spots and surrounding area with No. 1 steel Wool and a good floor cleaner or min­eral spirits. If the spots remain, sand With line sandpaper, feathering out 3 to 4 Inches into the surrounding area.

If spots are still present, apply ox­alic acid solution (1 ounce oxalic acid to I quart water). Use rubber gloves and handle the solu tlon carefully. Let this solution stand one hour, then rinse with clear water. A second

treatment may be helpful tf the dark spots refuse to yield.

If the second application of oxalic acid fails, sand area with No. 00 sandpaper.

Oxalic add Is a bleaching agent. Whenever lt is used, the treated floor area probably Will have to be stained and refinlshed to match the orlgi11al color.

This Is also true If more extensive sanding is required. Be sure to feather out the matching finish into the surrounding floor area. Let diy. then buff lightly with No. 00 steel wool. Apply a second coat of finish, let diy anci Wax. If spots still remain visi­ble, the only remaining remedy Is to replace the affected flooring.

Although In production for only 20 years, the toy trains manufacttired by the fuTn LGB have made remark­able Inroads in the model railroading field. sllenUy gliding Into the market that long has been dominated by Lionel and American Flyer.

Indeed, never In the history ofthe hobby has a new gauge and line of equipment developed an interna­tional audience so rapidly.

When the first Lehmann-Gross-Bahn trains rolled off the assembly line of the vulnerable toy factory in Nuremberg. Germany, in 1968, most professionals felt that their large scale (1:22.5) would make them too clumsy to a be a practical or popular toy—especially since the trend had been toward smaller and smaller trains.

But they were almost Immediately proved wrong as collectors were at­tracted to these cleverly designed, brightly colored cars made of a plas­tic fused with fiberglass or rubber that was tough enough to he used outdcxlrs and to a system that Was flexible enough to provide almost In­finite variety.

The Widespread acceptance ofthe LGB trains has been relfected in the dramatic price increase of the late 1960s and early 1970s equipment. At the heart of the system are, of course, the train sets.

Among the most desirable Is a 1971-74 passenger set With green-and-belge Steeple-cab Electric Loco­motive, now valued at $1,200; the 1981, Jubilee or An111versa1y Set Commemorating Lehmaim Paten-werkfs 100th anniversary, with red cars and a stiver-fronted en^ne, which originally retailed in tlie Un­ited States for under $150 and now sells for up to $1,000.

There are also a large number of nostalgic steam locomotives In the Lehmann Inventory, as well as electric locomotives and rail buses, passenger coaches and baggage cars and lively dining cars complete With passengers, Walters, coolos and food.

But passenger cars do not a train set make, and there Is a full comple­ment of flatcars, gondolas, hoppers, circus cars, tank cars, boxcars and refrigerator cars, ready, WiUing and able to transport both toy-scale and Imaginary cargo loads of Pepsi Cola, Chlqulta bananas, Esso oil and elephants.

Recent Reference The second edition of "Greenber s

Guide to LGB TValns" by John R. Ot-tley has just been Issued and Is the first to be published simultaneously In two languages—English and German.

This new guide contains more than 900 major entries. With 235 items fllustrated In full color, as well as a history of the company and cur­rent market values of trains, equip­ment, accessories, paperandrailroa-dlana (134 pages, hardcover, $29,95),

Throughout the holiday season We enjoy ml^ty good eating. We pay our dues, however, with the annual chal­lenge of what to do with the leftovers.

Cold turkey sandwiches only go so far before there is a rebellion. Re­heated buttered brussels sprouts and creamed onions look pretty dis­mal and are greeted With the same enthusiasm.

The real test for the cook, then. Is to give the leftovers a whole new im­age. Ifmashed potatoes aren't served as a blob of mashed potatoes, they can be enthusiastically enjoyed. .All that is needed is some kitchen sleight-of-hand. Here are a few fool-the-eye schemes:

Turkey Into turkey sausage Grind leftover meat, add sauted

onions and mushirooms; even some red pepper. If you like. Season with herbs or spices of your liking, such as tarragon, basil or cumin, plus a good handful of chopped parsley. Beat an egg (or two egg whites) and mix In well, then stir in a discreet amount of bread crumbs. Chill mixture well.

Scoop turkey mixture onto clean dish towel, a few Inches In from the long end, and pat turkey Into a roll. Fold edge of towel over meat and roll up to form turkey sausage. Loosely tie ends of towel allowing some room for expansion of sausage.

Poach in lightly salted water for about 15 to 20 minutes. Mow saus­age to rest for 10 minutes, then unroll and cut Into slices. Serve with a pars­ley or mushroom sauce or warmed mbdure of mustard and yogurt.

Turkey soup becomes aspic No one will recognize tills cool glis­

tening dome as once having been eaten with a soup spoon. The soup becomes an aspic with diced ham and peas encased within.

Measure leftover soup. For clear aspic clarify soup by heating with ll^tly beaten egg white until froth forms on top; then strain through clean dish towel. Add any seasonings you like.

For each 2 cups liquid, soften one package plain gelatin in V* cup wa­ter. Heat soup, add gelatin: stir until gelatin dissolves. Cool, then chill.

When liquid Is syrupy and slightly thick, gently fold in diced ham or shrimp and cooked peas. Spoon into small cups and chill until aspic has set. Serve In cups or ttun mold out onto lettuce.

Mashed potatoes become golden patties

Mix chopped scalIIoi1s and a little flour Into mashed potatoes and sea-son with paprika. Beat one egg for 4 cups mashed potatoes, two for lai er quantity, and throughty mix Into po­tatoes: shlll well.

Spread flour In dish or on waxed paper. Form potatoes Into patUes and dip both sides into flour; pat to remove excess flour. Fry patties In a little oU or a mixture or butter and oil; serve hot.

Creamed onions become pasta sauce

Cut onions Into slices and reheat in cream sauce, adding some milk to thin sauce. Mlxa little ciuiy with wa­ter to make thin paste and stir Into sauce. Add a little Worcestershire sauce and hot red pepper sauce.

If any turk^ meat remains, cut Into pieces and add to sauce. Lacking tirrkey, crumbled crisp bacon woilld be a good addition. Mix with cooked spaghetti and sprinkle with grated cheese.

Broccoli converts to vegetable sauce

Slice cold broccoli. In a little olive oil, fiy sliced onions and red peppers in covered skillet for about five 1ill-nutes. Add chopped tomatoes and garlic and cook one minute more. Slip broccoli into pan. cover and cook an additional minute.

' I J k ^ M *Vhether they'll whistling shrilly from a stoVetop or perched

V / n r delicately upon a silver tray, W W teapots are finding their way

into more and more homes these days. They come in all sizes, shapes, colors and

designs. No longer are homeowners doomed to buying a standard dome-shaped aluminum teakettle from the Sears catalog.

Today they can choose from teakettles made of enamel, porcelain, stoneware, bone china, copper or steel, just to name a few. Geometric designs, cozy holiday scenes, flower bouquets or solid colors may decorate the modeisl teapot's exterior—there's something for every taste and occasion.

Jim Howe, manager of the Coffee Beanery at Novi's Twelve Oaks Mali, said teakettles are in­creasing in popularity as the store expands its line.

"Most people will buy them (teapots) ac­cording to the design and how it fits into the scheme of tlielr kitchens," Howe said.

Big sellers at the Coffee Beanery are enamel ketUes nlade by Copco. White and black are the most popular colors, be added. Sizes range

• i i ^ M M i M i i i l i i i i s ^ H B S f t l i B ^

from two pints to quarts, with the larger sizes being the most preferred, according to Howe. Prices range from $2.99 to $200.

The cream of the crop in teapots is created by Alessi. Designed by architects, this brand of­fers teapots with interesting trademarks. One Alessi teapot, for example, features a bird per­

ched atop the spout of a sUve^plated model. Another exclusive line is offered by Bodum of

Denmark, known for its round, stout teapot equipped vnth tiny peg legs and a removable filter basket inside.

JWarcla Weber, manager at Heslop's In Twelve OaJss Mall, noted that the Novl store

sells a lot of teapots year-round. However, teapots are especially popular for special occa­sions — such as Mother's Day, Christmas and other holidays, she remarked.

"They're popular gifts for moms or wives or grandmas for birtiidays, also," Weber said.

Neither Howe nor Weber recommend a cer­tain type of teapot over another. They both said most of their customers know just what they want when shopping for a teakettle.

"A lot of it has to do with the price range," Weber said. "If a couple is just starting out and they don't have a lot pf nloney to spend, they tend to choose a teapot that isn't really expen-sive.-..

"Once the home is established, entertaining becomes a priority and they have more money to spend, they don't think twice about spending $100 to$200 on a teapot," sheadded.

The traditional teapot—short and squat with a stubby spouL are highest in demand at Heslop's, Weber said. White porcelain or bone china teapots are the big sellers at the store.

Most china companies offer teapots adorned with patterns that coordinate or match the style of their dinnerware,

Whatever the occasion, teapots provide a symbol of tranquility — sipping a cup of tea while the world goes by.

R a n d o m S a m p l e

Do you have a real tree or an artificial one?

Six said: "Real" Four said: "Fake"

"It's something that comes from child­hood memories of Christmas." "We had an artificial one buf the kids wanted a real one."

It's a go-go World, aild Carol Elfr­ing, a Novi housewife and the mother of two girls, lO and 5 years old, has been racing in it for foiu* years as a Volilnteer in two main areas — Village Oaks Elementary School and Girl Scouts.

One morning a Week she helps as needed at the school, and also this year she is co-chairing its Spring Fling money-raiser.

As for Girl Scouts, she is leader of a troop of 12 Junior Girl Scouts -fourth graders — one of whom is her daughter.

"We meet every other week in the girls' homes from 7 to 8:30 in the evening," she said, and she does most .of the planning for the meetings, but she's trying to get other moms involved, too.

The troop meets only every other

week because, typical of this fast-paced world, there are many com­peting after-school activities in­viting children to fit into their schedules

But that isn't all that Carol Elfr­ing does for Girl Scouts. She is also Neighbrhood Service Unit Director for the 350 registered Girl Scouts in Novi. This, she said, "is the highest volunteering position in Girl Scouts," and it puts her into more meetings and interaction with other leaders.

She plans and conducts a monthly meeting in her home with the seven women who coordinate Scout ac­tivities in the Novi schools. She plans and conducts meetings with all of the 60 leaders. And she at­tends a bi-monthly meeting in Detroit of all of the Neighborhood Service Unit Directors in the coun­cil.

It's a lot of involvement, Elfring said, and she likes it because "I like to wori( with people." But she also said she is now learning her limita­tions, and "I know I have to be selective in outside activities."

The up-shot for you is that if you are not involved in either of these areas and would like to be — at a , pace that suits you — why not go to your nearest school and inquire about volunteer opportunities?

The American Red Cross and Total Petroleum announce the kickoff of a statewide campaign entitled "Give a pint, get a gallon."

During the month of December, anyone who donates blood at a Michigan Red Cross donor center or Michigan Community Blood Center will receive a coupon good for a free gallon of Total gasoline.

Blood collections are notoriously low during the months of December and January, sometimes by as much as 15 to 20 percent.

The campaign Was designed to help recruit more blood donors and pre­vent a critical shortage after the new year when many patients schedule elective surgeries.

Some 169 Total gas stations from Detroit to Cheboygan are par­ticipating in the promotion. If dona-tions are increased by an anticipated 20 percent. Total vrill give out about 18,000 gallons for free gasolhle during

; the month of December. Participating Red Cross donor

centers in southeastern Michigan in­clude Livonia, Bloomfield. Dearborn, Southgate, Roseville, Oak Park, the Renaissance Center, Ann Arbor and Port Huron. For an appointment to donate call 494-2800.

Members of the Marquis Theater Children, a newly-formed acting tj-oupe for area youths, rehearse for a special holiday show. The Qliristmas show, featuring dancing, singing and comedy, ic cur­rently playing at Northvllle's Marquis Theater. For performance dates see story at right.

By BRENDA OOOLEY staff writer

Their bodies may be small, but their darlcillg and singing talents are big enough to fill all the space inside Northvllle's Marquis Theater.

An enthusiastic group of 23 children from Novi, Northville and surrounding areas has gathered to form the Marquis Theater Children, a new theater troupe for young per-formers.

"We have all these talented kids and nowhere for them to perform," said Inge Zayti, owner of the Marquis Theater.

The idea for the troupe was developed by Zayti and director David Leidholdt. They wanted to give local children a place to experience live stage and ioiew the talent Was out there.

"There's a professional children's acting group in Royal Oak and we thou t it was about time for one in this area," Leidholdt said. "We have a good group of kids."

A ^aduate of the University of Detroit, Leidholdt has directed several stage productions at the Mar-quis and other arenas, including the theater at Cranbrook. Most of the time he works with young actors, in­cluding his role as director of the Marquis Theater ChUdren.

"I want to keep it fun," he said. "It's amazing to see the kids grow in their abilities." The troupe members range in age from 7 to 14 and most of them have previous acting ex­perience.

Auditions for the group began in late September. Por about sue weeks the young actors have been rehears­ing for a special Christmas show, which opened at the Marquis last Fri­day (Dec. 8) and runs through Dec. 28.

During a recent afternoon rehear­sal some of the children took time out to discuss the troupe.

"It's really fun," said Kori Davis of Novi. The l2-year-old took part in the Marquis Theater summer camp and has performed in "Wizard of Oz" at the Marquis and the Novi Players' production of "Cinderella." She said she enjoys singing and dancing and the group ves her the opportunity to do what she likes best.

Amy Fowkes, 12, of Northville agrees that the troupe is fun. "I like being with my friends and singing," she said.

Northvllle's Amanda Benish, 9, echoes the remarks of her fellow per­formers. "It's great," she said.

Mary Kay Cook of Canton noted that the troupe is different from any acting she has done because it's en­tirely made up of kids. "It's a lot of work, but everybody's putting forth a lot of effort," she remarked.

Anne-Marie Bondy, 11, and Patrick Lokey, 10, both of Northville, said the spirit of working together is the thing they enjoy most about the troupe.

"It's fun because we all get along . . . " added Northvllle's Laura Genit-ti, 11.".. .most of the time."

Another member of the troupe, Er­nie Nolan, 13, is becoming a seasoned performer on the stage at the Mar-quis.

"I auditioned in 'Peter Pan' and that started it," the Northville resi-dent said. "I like being different peo­ple and doing different things."

Following the Christmas show, the future of the Marquis Theater Children is uncertain.

"I want to see how well it goes off," Zayti said about the troupe.

If it's successful, Ceidholdt said he's hoping to work with the troupe on a spring show, which will probably consist of a play.

"It's important that they develop some acting experience — to learn lines and work with a script," he said.

Members of the Marquis Theater Children are Angela Austin, Amanda Benish, Anne-Marie Bondy, Katie Bortell, Mary Kay Cook, Kristi Lyn Darkowski, Kori Davis, Amy Fowkes, Carta Freshwater, Laura Genitti, Sarah Habitz, JUlian Her-rick, Patrick Lokey, Valerie Lonigro, Marissa Megge, Ernie Nolan, Tracey Parker, Janet Patton, Leslie Soran-no, Deidrich Stelljes, Mlssi Surma, Stephanie Unger and (Slris Berzac.

Dates and showtlmes for the Christmas show, a dancing and singing medley of holiday songs, are as follows: Friday, Dec. 15,22 and 29 at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, Dec. 23 at 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.; and Wednes­day, Dec. 27 and Thursday, Dec. 28 at 7:30 p.m.

1989

By PHILIP JEROME managing editor

One win. One loss. That's how the Novi Wildcats opened the 1989-90 season last week.

The Wildcats surprised Livonia Franklin 65-53 in the season opener on Tuesday but dropped a 67-54 decision to Lakeland in the Kens-ington Valley Conference (KVC) opener on Friday.

The results left several impres­sions on Bob Shoemaker, Who has taken over the reins of the Wildcat cage program this year.

"I thought our kids played fairly well considering that We have had so little time together," said Shoemaker who has a career record of 2l7-38 and two state champion­ships to his credit.

"We didn't play particularly Well in either game. I use a lot of multi­ple defenses and have put in some new offensive schemes. And it takes awhile to learn the system.

"Right now, the kids have to think about what they're doing instead of just reacting. And basketball is a game of reactions. Eventually, we're going to be a pretty good team."

The Wildcats have learned Shoemaker's new offensive and defensive schemes well enough to hang a 65-53 defeat on Livonia Frailklin in the season opener on Tuesday.

The big gun in the Novi arsenal was senior forward Mark Fisher who led the offense With 33 poults.

The Wildcats got off to a fast start, outscoring Franklin 15-10 in the first quarter and extending the lead to six points With a 17-16 scor­ing advantage in the second quarter that made it 32-26 at the half.

It was the fourth quarter, however, Which proved decisive. Franklin came out strong at the start of the second half and outscored the WUdcats 17-10 in the third quarter to take a 43-42 lead in­to the final period of play.

With the game on the line, Novi outscored Franklin 23-10 over the final eight minutes to clinch the 65-53 victory.

"We had to make some ad-justments," commented

Shoemaker about tlle decisive 23-point spurt in the final quarter.

"The kids just executed better," he continued. "They did the litUe thin.gs."

The new Novi mentor was quick to cite improved defense and strong shooting from the charity stripe as key factors in the fourth quarter rally.

"Doug Soper turned in a good fourth quarter," said Shoemaker. "He scored five points and had a couple of steals which helped turn the game around."

The Wildcats also took ad­vantages of their free throw op­portunities in the fourth quarter, collecting 13 of, their 23 points from the line. For the game, Novi was 21 of 26 from the charity stripe.

Fisher sparked the offense with his 33 point performance in addition to collecting lO rebounds. Chris Weldon, a senior guard, added l9 points to the Novi attack.

Craig Overaitls paced Franklin with 22 points.

UVKELAND 67, NOVI 54: The highly-touted Lakeland Eagles jumped off to a big lead in the first half and then held on as the Wildcats clawed back to make it close in the second half.

"We were coming back," com­mented Shoemaker. "We just ran out of quarters."

The game looked like it would be a blowout in the early going. Led by Matt Hutchins, the Eagles came out firing from long range in the first quarter and built up a 28-14 lead during the first ei^t minutes of play.

Things quieted down a bit in the second\quarter, but Lakeland still scored twice as many points as Novi, outscoring the 'Cats 14-7 to make it 42-21 at the half.

"They came out shooting," reported Shoemaker of Lakeland's early surge in something of an understatement. Hutchins, who may be the finest player in the KVC this season, led the barrage — per­sonally accounting for 17 of Lakeland's 28 points.

"He (Hutchuis) was 6-for-6 from the floor in the first quarter, and five of them were three-pointers,"

Novi Wildcat forward Steve Lang shuts down Ron Shindorf of Lakeland

marvelled Shoemaker. "It was unbelievable shooting."

Shoemaker said the thing that im­pressed him most about the game was the way the Wildcats battled back in the second half.

"We got bombed in the first quarter and were down by 20 points at the half, but the kids never gave in," he said. "They kept fighting back and they got the lead down to

seven points with about five minutes left.- But that's When we ran out of gas. They (Lakeland) had to keep their starters in the game all the way to the end.

"I'm not the kind of guy who takes kindly toward losing. But I think I was more proud of these kids after this game than I was after their win over Franklin.

"I typically have a really tough

practice after we lose, but I couldn't be angry at the way these kids played. They really gave it their all."

Hutchins finished the game with 28 points - 10 fewer than the 38 points he had in Lakeland's opener against Walled lake Western three days eariier. Keith Butler added 18 for the Eagles.

Fisher once again paced the Novl

Novi News/JANET L,C9jK

attack, hitting for 16 points and hauling in five rebounds. Steve Long also hit in double figures with ll points. Bryan Jacobs added nine points and Jeff Schram tossed in eight more for the 'Cats.

The Wildcats were scheduled to host Walled Lake Western on Tues­day (after The News' deadline) and will travel to Hartland for another KVC contest tomorrow (Friday).

. can't blame the kids. They played awfully well. The thing that hurt us more than anything else Was my own inexperience."

Novi fans got their first glimpse of Shoemaker last week as the Novi

opened the season with a win — • Livonia Franklin on Tuesday before falling to Lakeland in the Kensington Valley Conference (KVC) opener on Friday.

What they saw was a highly-animated man who was In perpetual motion along the Wildcat sideline, questioning officials and exhorting his players on to greater heights.

"Actually, I've mellowed over the last few years," said Shoemaker who brin^ a career record of 217-38 and two state championships to his newpositionatNovi.

Shoemaker blamed himself for the Lakeland loss because he says he just doesn't know his players well eilough yet.

"We Were at a decided disad­vantage because the Lakeland coach knows my players better than I do at this stage of the season.

"One of the nice things about coaching basketball is that you leam something new about your team every game. In my case, I learn something new about my team every quarter.

"It's just going to take time," he added. "Time for them to leam all

Novi News/JANET L. COX Novl Coacti Bob Shoemaker (right) disputes a penalty call against the Wildcats

my offensive and defensive systems. Time for them to leam about me. And time for me to leam about them."

So what did Shoemaker leam about his Wildcats in the loss t6 Lakeland?

"I learned that we're not good enough to play good man-to-man (defense) yet," said Shoemaker, referring to the fact that he had directed his Wildcats to play man-to-man in an effort to combat the long-range shooting of Lakeland stars Matt Hutchins and Keith Butler.

Hutchins burned the 'Cats by hit­ting all six of his shots from the floor in the first quarter — five of them from three-point range. Hut­chins finished the quarter with 17 points and had 28 points for the game.

More importantly. Shoemaker learned about his team's character. Despite trailing by 20 points at the half, the Wildcats batUed back and

actually narrowed the gap to seven points with approximately five minutes left in the final quarter.

"Our kids just refused to quit," Shoemaker observed. "We got bombed in the first half, but they just kept coming back. That showed me a lot."

The new Wildcat mentor also displayed a sense of humor about the results of the first week's games.

Commenting on Hutchins' first-quarter shooting spree. Shoemaker said the game started like the Fourth of July. "I've never seen fireworks so quick in a game in my life," he remarked. "They were throwing up three-pointers when they had us 2-on-l on the fast break."

Shoemaker also said he was pleased that Hutchins finished the game with only 28 points. "He had 38 against Western in their first game and he had 17 against us in the first quarter. The way he was

going, 1 figured we'd be lucky to hold him to68."

Other examples of Shoemaker's sense of humor came out in Novi's 65-53 victory over Franklin in the season opener.

The Wildcats squandered a 32-26 halftime lead and trailed 43-42 heading into the final frame. They pulled out the victory by outscoring Franklin 23-10 during the final quarter.

"I just reminded them of the team rule - 'don't lose,'" said Shoemaker in explaining the decisive surge.

Part of that surge came at the free throw line where the Wildcats collected 13 of their 23 fourth-quarter points.

"We were 21 of 26 (81 percent) from the line for the game," said Shoemaker. "It's the only thing we haven't practiced . . . which tells you something about the kind of coach I am."

It wasn't a victory in the tradi­tional sense, but Amy Rademacher 'was claiming a moral victory despite the fact her Novi Wildcat volleyball team lost to Lakeland in straight games in the season opener last Thursday.

Rademacher's claim of a moral victory was based on improvement.

"We played Lakeland in the open­ing game last year and they beat us 15-0 and 15-l," reported the en­thusiastic young coach of the Ladycat spike squad.

"They beat us again this year, but it wasn't a blow out like it was last year. We played them a lot tougher than we did a season ago."

And how much have the Ladycats improved under Rademacher's tutelage?

23,000 percent... if the Lakeland game is any indication.

After earning just one point in two games against the Eagles in 1988, the Ladycats fell l6-l4 and 15-9 in the 1989 season opener.

What's more, Rademacher believes her Ladycats had a legitimate chance of Winning the match.

"If We could have Won that first game, 1 think we could have pulled it off," commented Rademacher, who is now in her second year at the helm of the Novl volleyball pro­gram.

The fact is that the Ladycats almost did win the opening game. After trailing 7-6 midway through the game, Novi came on strong and actually led 14-12 late in the game.

"Game-point," moaned Rademacher. "We had them game-point, but We couldn't get the decisive point to clinch the victory.

We only missed one serve in the first game, and it came at game-point."

Lakeland fought back to take a 15-l4 lead, and the two squads then ex­changed sides-out before the Eagles scored the point it needed to register the win.

Rademacher reported that Novi's serving was outstanding. "Three out of six kids served 100 percent," she said, citing the efforts of Dean-na Reed, Jenny Fomwald and Stephanie Tolsdorf.

Fomwald sparked the offense with eight hits and six points, while Tolsdorf had three hits and three points.

"We were setting the ball ex­tremely well ," reported Rademacher. "We were staying low on our passes, and the setter (Deanna Reed) Was really setting them high so We were able to run our offense."

Rademacher also cited the efforts of Gina Knight and Andrea Schwandt. A top defensive player. Knight also served for five points and hit 88 percent of her passes.

Schwandt earned the "hustle award," according to Rademacher. "She passed one-third of all the balls that came over the net," noted the Ladycat volleyball coach. ''She played very aggressively in the back row. She's a good all-around player."

The Ladycats are scheduled to play host to Hartland in another Kensington Valley Conference match tonight (Thursday) at 7 p.m. On Saturday, they'll travel to the Farmington Harrison Invitatlijnal, then meet Northville in another away-match next Monday.

Milte Gowans, Rich Heifer and Jeff O'Neill claimed individual championships to lilt the Novi Wildcats to a fourth-place finish in the Gibraltar Carlson Invitational Wrestling Tournament on Saturday.

Brian Paquette and Jason Wladlschkin added second-place finishes, while Randy Thompson and Todd James contributed fourth-place finishes for the Wildcat grapplers.

And even though Tom Fritz is not the type to be satisfied with fourth place in a 10-team tourna­ment, the veteran Novi mat coach let it be known that he wasn't terribly disappointed either.

"I don't feel too bad," admitted Fritz. "We had to forfeit two weight classes. And we were without 'Big Bob' Ahrens at heavyweight. And we've only had two weeks of practice, so I don't feel too bad.

"It's early in the season so it's too early to put a lot of emphasis on what happened Saturday. We're a young team and we're going to get better as the season goes on."

Grosse He won the team championship with 184 points, barely edging out Warren Lincoln which finished seond with 182'; points. Gibraltar Carlson Was third With 168 points, followed by Novi With 140. Rounding out the standings were Mt. Clemens (132', ), Lakewood Lake Odessa l2l), Melvindale (87), Woodhaven (81), Royal Oak Kimball (51) and Riverview(lO).

"It was a pretty good field," commented Fritz. "Mt. Clemens is the defending state champion in Class B. and several other teams are among the

top five teams in the state in their respective classes this year."

Novi's three individual champions came as no surprise. Gowans, Heifer and O'Neill were all top seeds in their respective weight divisions, and all three Won convincingly.

Gowans, Novi's lone state qualifier last year, breezed to the l35-pound title with ease. After dispatching each of his first two opponents with quick pins, Gowans defeated Jim Kerr of Gibraltar Carlson 12-2 in the championship finals.

Heifer, a defending Kenshigton Valley Con­ference (KVC) champion, had almost as much ease in winning the 152-pound division. After pilln-ing his first opponent. Heifer decisioned Royal Oak Kimball's Dave Young 9-3 to move into the finals where he decisioned Mark Mamuscla of Woodhaven 12-2 for the championship.

Even more impressive Was CNelll's march to the 160-pound title. The rugged senior grappler, another KVC champion, pinned his first two op­ponents and then decisioned Jim Updyke of Lakewood Lake Odessa ll-0 in the finals.

"I'm not taking anything away from Mark Gowans," said Fritz. "But if there was a wrestler of the week, it would have to be Jeff... he was awesome out there."

Paquette and Wladlschkin also made it to the finals but had to settle (or runner-up honors in their respective weight divisions.

Paquette needed only 16 seconds to pin his first opponent in the l03-pound division. He also pinned his second-round opponent to move into the finals where he lost to Ed Grace of Mt. Clemens lO-4.

Wladischkin's second-place finish at 171 was a

pleasant surprise because the Wildcat junior is a true leo-pounder. "Jason did a real nice job for us," commented Fritz. "He wasn't even seeded, but he managed to defeat the second and third seeds in his first two matches before losing to Jim Davis of Grosse He in the finals.

"It was a good strong performance," added Fritz.

The Novi mat mentor was just as pleased with his two fourth-place finishers. Todd James, another grappler forced to compete In a higher weight division, took fourth at 189, and Randy Thompson, filling in for Ahrens, did the same at heavyweight.

"James almost had third at 189," said Fritz. "He lost in the final three seconds of the consola­tion finals or he would have had third."

Thompson took over at heavyweight in the absence of Ahrens, who was taking a SAT test, and filled in admirably. He lost lO-6 in the consolation finals to Marty Sciamanlo of Warren Lincoln.

"Big Bob (Ahrens) probably would have won the heavyweight division, but I can't say enough about the job that Randy did for us," commented Fritz. "We would have had to forfeit that weight class if he weren't there, but he filled In and did it well enough to give the team a fourth place finish."

Fritz also lauded the performance of Steve Meyers, who failed to place but still added team points by pinning his opponent in the first round.

"To be a good tournament team, everybody in every weight class had to get points," said Fritz. "Everyone on the teams that finished ahead of us scored points; we have to do the same thing."

Tom Fritz figures the Novi Wildcats will be a team to be reckon­ed with in big wrestling tournaments this season. And he has five big reasons for thinking so.

1. Brian Paquette 2. Mike Gowans 3. Rick Heifer 4. JeffO'NeUI 5. Bob Ahrens Buoyed by the results of the

Gibraltar Carison Invitational Tour­nament on Saturday, Fritz predicted the 1989-90 edition of the Novi mat team will improve as the season pro­gresses and be a strong contender in every tournament it enters.

The Wildcat grapplers finished fourth out of lo teams at Gibraltar Carison last Saturday despite being without the services of Ahrens, their fine heavyweight who Was grappling with a SAT test instead of other

heavyweights during the tourna­ment.

"The bigger the tournament, the better we're going to be," predicted Fritz.

"We're going to be vastly improv­ed over last year."

Fritz' optimism is a tribute to the quality of his top five wrestlers - Pa­quette, Gowans, Heifer, O'Neill and Ahrens.

Basically, what the veteran Novi mat coach is saying is that he believes he has five grapplers who are capable of matching up well with other top grapplers.

Wrestling tournaments are quite different from dual meets. Dual meets pit one school against another, whQe there may be anywhere from eight to 32 or more teams in a tourna­ment.

As a consequence, it's possible for a good team to be very successftll in dual meets. But success in dual meets is no guarantee the same team

will be successful in tournaments. To do well in tournaments, a team

needs to have at least one or two ex­ceptional wrestlers - wrestlers who will rise to the top in a large field.

The situation is not unique to wrestling. It's true in track, swimm­ing and numerous other sports.

Take the state wrestling tourna­ment for example. A team With one exceptional wrestler will earn more points in the state meet than a team with a whole line-up of very good wrestlers.

Obviously, the more exceptional wrestlers you have, the better you're going to be.

And while It may be somewhat premature to hang the "exceptional" label on Paquette, Gowans, Heifer, O'Neill and Ahrens, it's clear that Fritz believes those five individuals have the potential to make Novi a strong tournament team this season.

"Those five are going to stack up pretty Well no matter what tourna­

ment it is," said Fritz. ''Some of them are going to be 'top 5' in just about any tournament and some will be 'top 3' in any tournament. Depen­ding on the tournament, we can ex­pect to have our share of tournament success this year.

Gowans, Heifer and O'Neill won in­dividual championships in the first tournament of the year - the Gilbraltar Carison Invite last Satur­day. Paquette had to settle for a second-place finish.

Gowans and Paquette are both juniors. Heifer, O'Neill and Ahrens are all seniors.

Fritz is also hoping that some addi­tional stalwarts will emerge as the season moves forward. He's hoping that some youngster virili establish himself as a force to be reckoned With — just as Mike Gowans did dur­ing the 1988-89 campaign.

"We've got some candidates," commented Fritz. "We'U just have to see how things deyelop,?,' <

The Novi Christian cagers came back down to earth last week.

After winning their first two games. of the season by margins of 35 and 66 points, the p:agle five had to sttnlggle to get past Bethany Christian 60-53 on Tuesday and then suffered their fiiTJt loss of the year — a heart-breaking 69-G8 sctbacic at the hands of Saline Chri.stianon Friday.

The results dropped Novi's record to 3-1 on the season and 2-l in the Metro Christian Conference.

The Eagles demonstrated that they can play well on the road in the 60-53 conquest of Bethany Christian on Tuesday.

Novi built up a 32-25 lead in the first half, and maintained the seven-point margin throughout the second half en route to the victory.

The Eagles were led by senior for-waid Mark Row who tossed in 18 points and senior guard Dennis Leech who contributed 14 more to the attack. Bethany Christian was led by sophomore forward Mike McManamy who hit for 21.

The Eagles suffered their first loss of the season three days later when Saline Christian used its helghth ad­vantage to record a 69-68 victory.

The Crusaders were led by 6'3" senior center Vince Geddes and 6-3 junior forward Matt Roblnette, each of whom tossed in 22 points over the Eagle defense.

Saline led by as many ll points in the first quarter, but Novi continued to fight back and moved to within one of the Crusaders (50-49) at the end of the third quarter.

The Eagles moved ahead by as many as seven points during the final stanza only to see the lead vanish as a result of foul trouble and turnovers.

With the score knotted at 68-68 and only four seconds left to play, Robinette dr W a foul and stepped up to the charity stripe. He missed the Jirst shot, but hit the second to give the Crusaders a 69-€8 lead and the victory-

Row and Leech again led the Eagles in the scoring department with 19 and 17 points respectively. Senior guard Dave King added ll points, While junior guard Chris Mahn hit for 10.

Randy Perrin, the Novi High School athletic trainer, received the 'Most Outstanding Recent Aluiirmi Award' from Vincennes University (VU) during Homecoming festivities on Nov. 18.

Perrin, a 1982 Vincennes graduate and a certified athletic trainer at the Center for Sports Medicine in Ann Arbor, Was the honored recipient selected by the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Division atVU.

Perrin Was a physical education major during his stay at Vincennes, and received his bachelor's degree from Indiana State University in 1985, specializing in sports medicine. He is currently Working toward a master's degree in kinesiology at the University of Michigan.

At the center for Sports Medicine, Perrin administers physical therapy and rehabilitation to injured athletes. A native of Bluffton, Ind., Perrin said he attended Vincennes because a high school counselor suggested that it would help give him direction in choosing a career goal.

and national junior college champion in the !J00 freestyle who is getting his first chance to coach a high school varsity team this year.

Everybody knows the loss of Jon Cohen will have a major impact on the Novi swim team. The high school All-American and U.S. Olympic hopeful capped his brilliant prep career last year and is now making his mark in Big Ten waters at

Michigan State. But the point that Winter was try­

ing to make is that the Wildcats will be a force to be reckoned with again this year - despite the graduation of the four-time state champion.

The Wildcats have a slew of talented tankers on hand ready to take up the slack created by Cohen's graduation. Not the least of them is

Steve Cohen — Jon's younger brotller and an accomplished tank star in his own right.

Another key performer on the 1989-90 team Will be Rudy Speerschneider - the oldest of three Speerschneider brothers who will make major con­tributions for the Wildcats this year. Joining their older brother on the Novi squad will be Derek Speerschneider, a sophomore, and Mike Speerschneider, only a freshman.

What made Novi's first-place finish in the EMU Invitational last Satur­day all the more remarkable Was that the Wildcats were without the services of Rudy Speerschneider, who is recovering from a bout of mononucleosis and isn't expected to see any serious action until after the start of the new year.

As it Was, the Wildcats were able to

get along just fine, beating Alma for the team championship at EMU by winning two events and finishing se­cond in four others.

Novi's first-place finishes came in the 200 freestyle relay and the 400 in­dividual medley relay.

Steve Strausberg. Jamie May, Mark ChirgWln and Ryan Devereaux combined forces to Win the 200 free relay, while Bob Bates, Jon Mutch, J e f f Leahy and Derek Speerschneider touched the wall first in the 400 individual medley.

The second-place finishes came in the 200 butterfly relay, the 400 freestyle relay and the 1500 (S-by-500) freestyle relay.

Strausberg, Mutch, Leahy and Dan Sveller formed the 200 butterfly relay team. It was Ryan Devereaux, Jamie May, Mark ChirgWln and Steve Cohen in the 400 free relay. And it

was Cohen. Leahy and Sveller in the 1500 free relay.

The other second place finish came in diving where Adam Cox collected 183.75 points to win runner-up honors.

The Wildcats got third-place points in the 200 medley relay (Derek Speerschneider, Bates, Strausberg and Devereaux) and the 200 backstroke relay (Derek Speerschneider, Chris Foreback, Tedd Warthman and Mark Chirgwin).

Fourths came in the 200 breaststroke relay (Mutch, Marc Bolilho, Dennis Suchyta and Bates) and the 800 freestyle relay (Cohen, May, Phil Byers and Sveller).

"It was a very positive way to start the season," commented Winter. "We scored in every event, and our Worst finish in a 13 team invitational was fourth place."

, While headaches are among the most basic and common of all human ailments, no one really knows what initially touches off the complex chain of physiological events that make a head throb.

However, effective remedies are available and no one needs to be plagued by chronic headaches, ac­cording to pain experts at the Univer­sity of Michigan Medical Center in Aim Arbor.

Headaches are triggered by many factors. Stress and muscle tension top the list. Other commonly observ­ed "triggers" are chocolate and cheese, caffeine and alcohol, changes in atmospheric pressure and adop­ting a new lifestyle. Genetics may be Ilehind some chronic migraine condi­tions. \ The key to dealing with the pain is lo classify the type of headache. By recognizing tell-tale cues preceding a headache's onset, people can learn to prevent a potential head-splitter from developing. ; Headaches are classified in two major categories — vascular or mus-jcle tension. Perhaps the most in­famous of the vascular headaches is the migrane — searing agony resulting from dilation or inflamma-lion of blood vessels or irritation in Surrounding areas of the brain. ' The classic migraine is usually preceded by disturbances in vision, ranging from blurriness to blind spots. Aboilt 30 minutes before the pain sets in, migraine sufferers may see flashes of light, squiggly lines or bright zig-zags. They may also ex­perience numbness, tingling or weakness on one side of the body, loss of coherent language function and nausea or vomiting.

In this stage, "blood vessels within the brain are constricting, resulting in symptoms like those of a stroke," said Dr. Douglas Gelb, assistant pro­fessor of neurology at U-M.

Later, migraine sufferers will develop a throbbing pain that varies in intensity, frequency and location in the head.

Only 15 percent of the people who have, migraines have-.the. classic iraigraUle. The rest have a second type known as the common migraine, said Margie Van Meter, clinical nurse specialist at the Coordinated Chronic Pain Program in the U-M

Novi News/CHRIS BOYD

Headaches can be minor annoyances or major pains in the head

department of anesthesiology. The common migraine is also a

vascular headache that occurs in the area around the eyes or on one side of the head, but does not involve neurological, stroke-like symptoms.

"Common migraines are often thought to be sinus headaches because they occur in vascular areas near the eyes and across the forehead where the sinuses are, an(i people often get them around the

time the weather changes," Van Meter said.

In addition to atmospheric pressure fronts, other migraine trig­gers indude getting too little or too much sleep, eating a wide variety of foods, skipping jneals, menstrating and.stress. :..,.; -

Ironically, stress-induced migraines often occiu- in the "let­down" period after a tough time has ended. One variant of this is what

Van Meter calls a "Saturday morn­ing migraine."

"Many people with no regular stress reducton program such as ex­ercise, let the stress build up until Friday and then it catches up with them on the letdown day, so they wake up with a headache on Satur­day morning," she said.

The muscle contraction headache results from sustained tensiorl in the neck and shoulders. These are mark­ed by dull, steady pain in various locations, inciudmg the back of the head. They are triggered by stress, traumatic injuries, disorders of the jaw or neck and depression.

Infrequent vascular type headaches can often be banished with ordinary aspirin or by acetaminophen and ibuprofen, non-aspirin pain relievers that are less ir­ritating to the stomach than aspirbl. An ice pack placed in the area also may help soothe the throbbing of a migraine, while a heating pad across the neck and shoulders is more helpful for the muscle tension headaches.

Some people find relief by lying quietly in a darkened room, while others feel better if the head is elevated. Music helps some people relax; others who are sensitive to noise prefer a shroud of silence.

While excessive caffeine can trig­ger a headache in some, its effect can relieve minor headache pain in others. Many people find relief by taking a couple of aspirin with a cola or a cup of coffee. Van Meter said.

People with bad, chronic headaches that aren't controlled by common pain relievers are treated with stronger prescription drugs, such as codeine. For those with severe vascular-type headaches, physicians may prescribe beta blockers or calcium channel blockers, drugs that stabilize the blood vessels to keep them from dilatuflgorcontractmg.

Muscle-tension headaches can be treated with non-steroidal anti­inflammatory drugs. Anti­depressants are also sometimes used to prevent headaches.

While headaches are sometimes just a minor annoyance, they can be debilitating and should not be ig­nored.

ByOOUGGRAIMBEAU special writer

Christmas is coming The geese are getting fat, Please put a penny w the old man's

'hat. Ifyoubaven'tgotapenny, A ha'penny will do. If you haven 'tgot a ha 'penny. Then God bless you.

Most of us wish that holiday gift-giving was as simple as putting a "penny in the old man's hat." Un­fortunately, when it comes down to it, many of us are hopelessly lost in the commercialized blitz-kri^ known as the shopping season.

It doesn't have to be that way. There are several ideas and alter­natives for gift-giving that will not only help you fmd something for that special person, but can add a "healthy" twist to your offering:

RECIPES: Do you have several favorite recipes that your friends are always raving about? Why not print them neatly on 3-by-5 cards and put them in an attractive recipe box for that friend or relative that visits the local fast-food outlets a little too often.

GIFT CERTIFICATES: Why not design your own gift certificate, of­fering a home-cooked meal for two, redeemable with two weeks' notice anytime in 1989. Or, give a gift cer­tificate from a local sporting goods or health food store. You could give the gift of education by covering the tui­tion for a class at a local community college, or give a massage or facial gift certificate.

BOOKS: Never out of style, books on nutrition, healthy-eating cookbooks or beginning fitness books may motivate someone to commence with a lifestyle change which benefits them.

FOOD: An attractive fruit basket with health snacks (sugar-free jams and jellies, nuts and fruit) is something everyone can enjoy.

FITNESS EQUIPMENT: The ideas here are almost limitless, depending on who you're giving to. Workout clothing, reflective vests, dumbbells, jump-ropes, biking helmets, workout videos, tickets to a local sporting event and a subscription to a health-oriented magazine are all gifts that would be appreciated.

They are the kind of gifts people think about getting for themselves, but never do.

STOCKING STUFFERS: If you like to put small items into those stock­ings hung by the chimney with care, try things like colorful shoelaces, pieces of fruit, toothbrushes, socks, headbands, batteries, lotions or sugarless gum.

Try to think about the person you're getting a gift for. What do they like to do? What are their hobbies?

HOW can a particular gift relate to those hobbies? There is much more to the holiday spirit than just pur­chasing gifts for family and friends. Try to find that "personal" meaning for your offerings.

Often overlooked in the holiday season are those individuals who must rely on others for food and clothing. One of the most appreciated holiday gifs is a donation to a local charity for a special cause or to a church that sponsors one or more families in need. Whatever your choice this holiday season, try and make it one from your heart. ,
