Airport runway shift shot down Township officials have told the state to take its Mettetal runway shift and shove it in the wake of news that state officials knew the air-port was out of compliance with federal guide-lines when it was purchased in 1994.

Also weighing heavily in the vote was the board's hostility about false-hoods reported to them when the state bought the airport in 1994.

The Canton Township Board of Trustees grounded plans to shift the Mettetal Airport runway when it unan-imously voted down the action Tues-day.

At the heart of the denial to shift the runway 240 feet to the south was the

are supposed to look after our safety and welfare ... intentionally lied to the people who are involved," said Trustee Melissa McLaughlin. "They lied about FAA standards they are now trying to enforce."

The Michigan Department of Trans-portation Bureau of Aeronautics and the Airport Advisory Board brought the proposal to the board earlier this year, s t a t ing new FAA s t anda rds would require a shift.

Representatives from MDOT told the board pilots had grown concerned over pilot and motorist safety, and the run-way's proximity to Joy Road.

The runway is 50 feet south of Joy,

east of Lilley. Supervis ing Engineer Mark Noel

Noel said the proposal is a shift, not an expansion, and the pavement at the north of the runway could be torn up or left in place to provide a paved buffer between the runway and the road.

By contract, the 2,500-foot runway cannot be modified without a resolu-tion from Canton and the state.

However, the board recently learned

Toast to Canton wine tasting event set BY CAROL MARSHALL STAFF WRITER cmarshal l@oe.homecomm.net

Canton wine aficionados and amateurs alike will gather for a Toast to Canton next week.

Leadership Canton Alumni, the Canton Chamber of Commerce and Holiday Market will co-sponsor the event, which will be held at Yazaki North America.

Leadersh ip Canton Alumni P r e s i d e n t P a u l Schrauben said the event not only raises money for local community groups, but offers Canton's wine connoisseurs and wine-curious the opportunity to do something new.

The Toast to Canton will feature a wide variety of hors d'oeuvres and about 150 wines, and for the first time will also offer beers to sample. As usual, non-drinkers as well as drivers will not have to miss out on the fun, and there will be a table of sparkling and non-alcoholic beverages for tasting as well.

Another change will be the location. In the past,

t he wine t a s t i n g was held at the Summit , but Schrauben said Yazaki North America offered to host in its new building on Haggerty Road, and Leader-ship Canton couldn't pass on the offer.

KA lot of people are curious about Yazaki, and we thought this would be a unique opportunity for peo-ple to go inside and check it out," he said.

Last year's Toast was Schrauben's wine tasting debut. He said that, although he's not an experienced wine drinker, he wasn't intimidated by the event.

"You see a lot of people that obviously know wine," Schrauben said. "And the distributors are there. But then there are a lot of people like me that say 'Huh. Besides color, what's the difference between red and white?"'

Nancy Williams, Leadership Canton alumni, said the wine tasting has been a good time and a great education.

For two years, Williams and her husband, Pat -also Leadership Canton alumni - have paid extra for

the privilege of being volunteer wine pourers. "It's a blast," Williams said, adding she plans on

being a pourer again this year. "Of course drinking the wine's not so bad, either."

Wi l l i ams sai-d t h e educat ion about wine she receives while pouring is the reason she loves volun-teering at the event.

"You don't have to know a thing about wine," she said. "But you come away with a little more knowl-edge and have more of an appreciation for it."

The event has raised $12,000 during its two years, and Schrauben said he hopes it will bring in more than last year's $7,000.

Schrauben said proceeds from the third annual wine tasting gala will benefit the Canton Historical Society, Leadership Canton Alumni Scholarship and the Canton Firefighters Charity Foundation.

Schrauben said Leadership Canton chooses differ-ent community groups annually and they're chosen

SIMPLY ELEGANT If lilies were movie stars, they

would be Audrey Hepburn. Few, if any, flowers can match the sheer elegance of lilies. White longiflorum lilies, in particular, s e e m to b e dressed for a black tie affair. Their graceful form fairly trumpets classical appeal . Thus, lilies require scarcely more than a clear glass or crystal vase for a simple monochromat ic arrangement. The t ransparency of the vase allows the deep green, elongated leaves and graceful s tems to play their valued supporting role. In addition, white longiflorum lilies are long-lasting a n d exude a wonderful scent . E a c h bud opens slowly, and the lower ones can b e removed a s they fade. This flower with star quality puts on a wonderful per formance .

Like spring's social butterfly, lilies can attend both elegant and informal affairs with ease . At HEIDE'S FLOWERS & GIFTS, w e would be happy to help you decorate for your occasions. Located at 9 9 5 W. Ann Arbor Trail, Plymouth, we provide excellent service and the most knowledgeable staff.

Jacket ID's thief A Garden City man on proba-

A store security officer said he

saw the man stuff a bottle of vodka into his j acke t , t hen attempt to leave the store. Two security officers approached the man, and he started to run out into the parking lot.

One of the officers grabbed the man's black leather jacket. The suspect wriggled out of it and ran away, leaving his j acke t behind.

When Canton police searched his jacket, they found a bottle of vodka, a package of cheese and two cans of cat food. They also found his cell phone and the let-ter from the 18th District Court in West land, which not only identified him, but also indicated he had a meeting with probation the following day.

According to police reports, the man was on intensive weekly report ing probation for retail fraud.

when the state bought the air-port in 1994, the FAA standards requiring longer safety zones at the end |>f the runway were already i s place and had been since 19®). The board alleged the bureafi lied in order to push through tlie state purchase of the airport.

McLaughlin quoted a 1990 memo from Wendell Proudfoot, manager wi th the B u r e a u of Aeronautics, to Pe ter Ser in i , manager with the FAA.

Proudfoot stated, "The draw-ing (of the runway) does not depict any future development, land acquisition or obstruction removal. ... We have intentional-ly omitted Runway Safety Areas, Object Free Areas, and similar FAA s tandards , because we believe depiction of those areas would diminish and obscure the objective of converting this pri-vate airport to one owned' and operate^ by a public agency. Once weihave a public sponsor serving the 120 or so aircraft at this facility, we will then evalu-ate steps, required to make the airport meet standards."

Safety standards Plymouth res ident Car l

Schultz approached the board, asking it to reconsider the denial.

"I would like to suggest that your .goal of killing the airport needn' t be (accomplished) by jeopardizing public safety," he said. "I don't know how any

politician can come down against safety."

Township Supervisor Tom Yack said the resolution to deny the request suggested the state seek a more appropr ia te and safer location for an airport.

Schultz , who serves on the advisory board and whose son is a student pilot said, "Vote your conscience because it may come back to haunt you."

Canton pilot Henry Moore asked the board whether it had considered what to do in the event of a Joy Road accident between a pilot and a motorist.

"Are you clear legally for a lawsuit?" Moore asked.

"We would defend ourselves, naturally. The entity that really has to worry about th i s is MDOT," Yack said. "They only have deceived us and lied."

Trustee Philip LaJoy said if the board denies the request, the township should send a letter to the; FAA and MDOT addressing the safety concerns the bureau brought forward in requesting the shift.

"They really need to remedy that situation," he said.

Former U.S. Navy avia tor Greg Pappas of Plymouth sug-gested if MDOT and FAA are "really interested in making the a i rpor t safer. ... They should either restrict the airport to only those ai rcraf t t ha t can easily take off and land with 2,200 feet of runway or close the airport."

Canton man writes book on making organizations work BY CAROL MARSHALL STAFF WRITER c m a r s h a l l @ o e . h o m e c o m m . n e t

Scared out of his wits, Ron Koller looked out at the 250 people in the audience. They came to the Catholic Relief Services World Summit in October, clad in nearly every ethnic and cultural dress in the world, and outfitted with headphones to hear their interpreters.

"I was sort of f reaked out," Koller said. "It reminded me of the United Nations. And there I was, little old me from Metro Detroit."

Koller was called away from his Canton home to address the summit in Tampa because its atten-dees were planning a major change in how they respond to disastrous events around the globe. And Koller, a consultant, had earned a reputation for facilitating change.

Just one Koller said that experience was just one of the

many that preceded the release of the book enti-tled Whole-Scale Change: Unleashing the Magic in Organizations he co-authored.

For eight years he's worked with senior leaders from Catholic Relief Services, Sun Microsystems, United Airlines, BASF, City of Boston, NASA and other large organizations.

The book was a collaborative effort, with 15 peo-ple working on it in the beginning, back in 1996.

"By the end, there weren't so many of us," Koller said. The book came off the presses early this year.

Koller said Whole-Scale Change was written by him and his former colleagues at Dannemiller Tyson Associates. He said he and some of his col-leagues had been teaching and consulting for some large firms, including Ford Motor Co. and even for other large consulting firms.

"A lot of people told us we should take the infor-mation in the class and put it in a book, so here we are," Koller said.

Helps organize Koller said the book helps organizations uncover

and combine the knowledge and wisdom of their employees to dramatically increase business per-formance. The process, he said, empowers employ-ees and leaders to change their workplaces and communities.

Koller said he believes the untapped wisdom within organizations is the key to success. Very often, he explained, a company will call in consul-tants and trainers to tell its managers how to address problems or run a better business, when the best solutions would likely come from the orga-nization's own employees.

By the time the consultant plops a fat report on the desks of a handful of top managers, any good ideas that may be contained in the plan will be met with resistance.

Where his philosophy differs from that of other consultants is his belief in inclusion.

"Trainers come in and begin by telling. We come in and begin by asking," Koller said. And he asks questions of everyone in an organization from

A Plymouth Township man was injured when the car he was driving collided with a pickup truck at the intersection of Joy and Sheldon roads Mon-day afternoon.

Peter Warne, 64, reportedly had the green light when he entered the intersection, but was hit by a Livonia man who failed to stop for the red light.

"The driver of the car (Warne) was traveling westbound on Joy Road and had the green light when the pickup, which was going north on Shel-don, came through the red light... and boom," said Scott Dugan, 17, of Canton, who witnessed the accident from his car. "The truck spun around and the car stopped on the corner. I called 9-1-1 with my cell phone."

Q and A Q: How did Gatorade origi-

nate? As Gatorade originated in 1965

when researchers at the Univer-sity of Florida in Tampa decided that their football team needed to replace the minerals and flu-ids lost through strenuous exer-cise. The drink was developed to provide water (to prevent dehy-dration), sugar (energy), salt (fluid balance) and potassium (nerve transmission). In 1983 Quaker Oats purchased the brand name and sells the drink in different flavors. More than 423 million gallons of Gatorade are sold every day.

Joe Koontz, 32, of Livonia was driving the F-150 Ford pickup that hit the front quarter panel of the Dodge Stratus.

"I was looking down, playing with the radio, and looked up and saw the red light," he said. "By then, it was too late. Luckily the man wasn't seriously injured."

Warne was transported to St. Joseph Mercy Hos-pital in Ypsilanti, complaining of chest and rib injuries. Koontz refused treatment for head lacera-tions.

"We gave the pickup driver (Koontz) a ticket for disobeying a traffic signal," said Eric Anderson, Plymouth Township police officer. "It would have been much worse had he hit the car in the door."

New business runs errands so you don't have to do it B Y SUE BUCK STAFF WRITER s b u c k @ o e . h o m e c o m m . n e t

Call them baby boomers or the sandwich genera-tion.

Kathryn Dolecki knows they are busy and stressed out.

These harried overachievers need an Errand Runner.

Voila. Dolecki's business by the same name. Dolecki, a former Canton Township resident,

designed different types of packages which fit into almost everyone's busy work schedule.

"Our goal is to allow you more time for your fam-ily, church, friends, fitness and hobbies," Dolecki said.

She began her business April 1, tapping into a client base she developed during the three years she was a manager of Premier Travel at Ford Road

and Lilley in Canton Township. Packages start at $22.25 weekly and clients

must commit to a month of services. There's a package for senior citizens who need

some help getting out of the house to go to church or doctor's appointments, laundry, grocery shop-ping or need someone to talk to.

Dolecki, who personally enjoys running errands received encouragement from her mother who said, "You do this for me and you do this for grand-ma.'"

Now she does it for others. While her clients work, her team of four runners

are available to do things like wait at the house for deliveries and repairmen, do appointment schedul-ing and reminding, gift wrap, go grocery shopping, serve as a personal assistant, go to the veterinari-an and groomer and do a multitude of other things.

Custom packages are available. For more information, call (734) 306-6577.

Unsolved Mysteries TV show features Plymouth murder BY TONY BRU8CATO STAFF WRITER tbrusca to@oe.homecomm.ne t

Acting Plymouth Police Chief Wayne Carroll put in hundreds of hours to solve a murder case involving the dismembered body of f o r m e r P l y m o u t h r e s i d e n t Tracy Islam.

Last Oct. 3, a Wayne County Circuit Court jury convicted her e s t r a n g e d h u s b a n d , Azizul Islam, of killing his estranged wife, mut i la t ing he r body, and dumping the body parts in Dear-born and Ohio. ' In the end, the jury 's verdict

came down to f r e sh paint and blood stains found in the base-m e n t of Azizul I s l a m ' s Roe Street home.

The case was widely publ i -cized. So much so, that when the network program Unsolved Mys-teries heard about it, producers knew it would be a hit.

Carroll and Dearborn police Det. Paul Keiper met this past week with crew members of the show, who f lew in f rom Los Angeles to film the segment in P l y m o u t h . They t a p e d i n t e r -views and re-created scenes at a

v a c a n t house on Sou th M a i n Street with the star.

No, not actor Robert S t ack , who is the host of the program. And, i t w a s n ' t Car ro l l . Top billing went to Eagle, a German shorthair-Doberman cross who helped solidify Carroll's murder case when he sniffed out blood and human remains inside the Islam home.

"I was skeptical in the begin-ning," admitted Carroll. "I didn't think Eagle would be so valu-able. But, he did a damn good job."

It's Eagle who is being docu-mented on Unsolved Mysteries, for his work in finding evidence in a Lapeer mis s ing pe r son ' s case, and his work dur ing t h e Islam investigation in Plymouth.

"Even t h o u g h t h i s case is solved, there's still a mystery," said Dan Gomez, d i rec tor fo r Unsolved Mysteries. "How does this dog do what he does? He can spot bones u n d e r 150 f ee t of water. I think that 's a mystery."

T h a t ' s w h a t Eag le d id in Lapeer. While film crews were recreating a murder scene, Eagle motioned in the water . Divers

found more human remains. <• "I've seen drug dogs, and bomb

dogs, but Eagle is really some-thing special," Carroll confessed.

As for h is par t , Carroll said stardom hasn't gone to his head;

"I didn't mind doing the inter-view, but I wasn't in my element with the re-creations, so I was a bit uncomfortable" said Carroll. "I'm geared to be a cop."

Plymouth police officer A1 Cox was used as a stand-in, as was Paul Schulz of Motor City Ent., who owns the production compa-ny based in Plymouth.

"When a production company comes from out of town, they're u n a w a r e w h a t ' s a v a i l a b l e to t h e m , " he. s a id . "They h a d a crime scene and they needed a house wi th a b a s e m e n t to re-enact the crime, and the exterior of a home like the Islam's. That's w h e r e I come in , f i n d i n g t h e locations."

Schulz said an effort was made to film inside the Islam house; however, he was told it wasn ' t available.

The Unsolved Mysteries seg-ment is expected to be broadcast sometime in September.

Club stages cultural heritage show

mVersary • 75th Anniversary • 75th Anniversary

Members of the Asian Pacific American Club at the Plymouth Canton Educational Park will host their third annual cultural heritage show Friday and Saturday in Canton High School's Dubois Lit-tle Theater at 8415 Canton Center Road. !

The show begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $3 for stu-dents and $5 for adults.

This year's theme for the show is "Back from the Mountain." According to club officials, some of the first generations of Asian Pacific Americans immi-grated across the Pacific seeking a "Gold Moun-tain," referring to America, the symbol of freedom and opportunity.

These Asian Pacific Americans faced a new iden-tity struggle: How do we preserve the traditional and embrace the new? Newer generations of Asian Pacific Americans have defined themselves as not simply "Asian" or "American" but have created a whole new experience — the experience of an Asian Pacific American. This show allpws the members of the Asian Pacific American CJub to go "from the mountain" back to some of the - cultural aspects of the life that earlier generations experi-enced in Asia, the club said.

The APAC members dedicate the show to their parents, for "their love and support . They have made us who we are, and we thank them for allow-ing us to explore our ident i fy as Asian Pacific Americans and for giving us the opportunity to revisit our heritage," a club member said.

Back from the Mountain will feature traditional dances and songs representing Filipino, Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese cultures. A fashion shqw will display traditional as well as modern forms of dress. Guess speakers include Roland Hwang, an attorney for the state of Michigan on Friday night and Marcella Lee-Kuo, Channel 4 reporter, on Sat-urday night.

The la test census figures reported tha t Asian Pacific Americans now comprise 9 percent of Can-ton's population and 4 percent of Plymouth Town-ship's population. This growth is reflected both in Michigan, where Asian Pacific American popula-tion grew by 71 percent, and across the nation, where the Asian Pacific American population has increased Joy 43 percent . These f igures do not include households t h a t checked more than dtie racial category.

Zero tolerance in schools is trying on the patience

A 6-year-old s tudent was suspended from school for passing out some lemon cough drops to other students. In another school district, a seventh grader was sus-pended for three days for giving a cough drop to a c l a s s m a t e . And in a n o t h e r school, a 14-year-old was suspended for 10 days for handing out some Certs.

These a re but a few of the incidents t h a t h a v e b rough t u n d e r f i re t he so-called "zero tolerance" school policy in place at many, if not all, school districts across the country.

Zero tolerance is a policy that at best does little good and at worst subjects stu-dents, parents and staff to some of the most wretched and ridiculous examples of discipline in the country.

Fortunately, none of the local districts has shown bad judgment in their han-dling of zero tolerance — yet. But so long as they have such policies, they are risk-ing embarrassing themselves while tragi-cally jeopardizing their students' acade-mic careers.

Zero tolerance is a deceptively straight-forward program. In essence, it says that no infraction of school policy forbidding such things as guns, drugs, disruptive behavior, dress code or conduct, however minor , wi l l be t o l e r a t e d . S t u d e n t s charged wi th such infractions are rou-tinely suspended and expelled.

In light of the recefit school shootings, few would argue against a zero-tolerance view toward guns in school. Guns should not be allowed except in those extremely troubled districts tha t have to resort to having police patrol the halls.

But dec lar ing the s h a r i n g of cough drops as a violation of a school's prohibi-tion agains t "chemical substances," as happened in Colorado Springs in 1997, is absurd.

Increasingly, school distr icts are re-evaluating the wisdom of zero tolerance. In fact, all school districts should re-eval-uate this principle and discard it in favor of a more sensible approach to discipline.

Zero to lerance in schools is an out-growth of t he federal d rug policy t h a t was created in the early 1980s. At tha t time, the federal government began con-fiscating boats, cars and even bicycles owned by persons caught possessing even tiny amounts of illegal drugs. This raised a growing tide of protest from people who lost substantial pieces of property over traces of illegal drugs.

By 1990, t he U.S. Cus toms Service dropped its zero tolerance policy. But by then two schools districts, Orange Coun-ty, Calif., and Louisville, Ky., adopted their own form of zero tolerance, tailored for the schools.

The distr icts basically told the kids: Break any of t h e ru les , and you r i sk being thrown out on the street. Period.

Soon, school boards across the country were adopt ing zero tolerance policies, which became educationally fashionable. But, as wi th many simple solutions to complicated problems, zero tolerance has

• Zero tolerance is a decep-tively straight-forward pro-gram. In essence, it says that no infraction of school policy forbidding such things as guns, drugs, disruptive behav-ior, dress code or conduct, however minor, will be toler-ated. Students charged with such infractions are routinely suspended and expelled.

proven to be wrong. There are numerous stories — even

entire Web sites on the Internet — devot-ed to zero tolerance horror s tor ies in which school administrations have seem-ingly gone mad, crushing students and staff alike for the slightest infraction of school rules.

Proponents of zero tolerance can point to the recent school shootings as support that the policies are needed. But in fact, the numbers don't support the emotional argument. The National Center for Edu-cation Statistics in Washington, D.C., for example, rated student tardiness as the most serious discipline issue reported by school p r inc ipa l s in 1996-97. Absen-teeism followed, along with fighting and use of tobacco. According to the NESC, violent crimes occurred at a r a te of 53 incidents per 100,000 students.

Only 2 percent of principals reported gun possess ion and sale of d rugs on school grounds as a serious issue. These are not to be minimized, nor is a single shooting less of a tragedy because it is a rare incident, considering the thousands of school bui ldings across t h e na t ion where no one has ever been shot. But in reality, as horrific as school shootings are, they occur rarely.

Other factors come into play as well. The Department of Education Office for Civil Rights surveyed 3,000 school dis-tricts and found that African-American students consistently are suspended at a r a te higher t h a n other s tuden t s . And then there is the question of what hap-pens to students who are expelled. Most end up on the streets, where they can become a larger problem.

The numbers — and simple logic — should br ing into focus t he fac t t h a t every case of student discipline needs to be treated on an individual basis with its own specific circumstances to consider.

Some school boards — just i f iably -r-have brought heaps of scorn upon them-selves for such wrong-headed rulings as the suspension of a 6-year-old who was charged with "sexual ha rassment" for kissing a classmate.

Let common sense — not zero tolerance — prevail.

Intelligent design Talk about folly! On Thursday, March

29, Phil Power wrote an editorial discred-iting state Rep. Robert Gosselin, R-Troy, and his efforts to amend the science stan-dards in the state model school code.

As someone who is supposedly interest-ed in disseminating t ruth in the public media and education, Mr. Power is woe-fully off course in publicly condemning a legitimate scientific theory and encourag-ing others to join in.

Intelligent design has always been a credible scientific theory. This theory is finally Receiving the respect it deserves in the scjpntific community.

The theory of evolution, however, is currently being challenged by many sci-entists. Two powerful arguments against it are probability and irreducible com-plexity. The scope of this letter can allow only the briefest of explanations, but for those who seriously desire to pursue the t ruth about the origins of the universe, there are many good books including Darwin's Black Box by Michael Behe.

Probability argues against the theory of evolution. Since astronomers have determined that the universe is has a finite age, there simply has not been enough time for all the necessary muta-tions to have occurred. Scientists calcu-lated the length of tirrie required for the

average random genetic mutation to take place. Then, they multiplied it by the number of mutations necessary to acquire some high level life form.

Even with the most conservative num-bers, the mathematical probability that humans could have evolved by random mutation is a statistical impossibility. The argument of irreducible complexity from microbiology argues convincingly that cells, organs and biological systems cannot have been created by the process of evolution. They cannot have been formed one mutation, or genetic change, at a time. If even one part of the whole is missing or different, the entire thing can-not function in any capacity and no evo-lutionary path could, therefore, have led to it.

There are many other serious problems with the theory of evolution, such as the apparent extreme proliferation of com-plex species in fossil form in the Cambri-an era, and the question of how life can evolve from nonliving substances a t all.

This is why evolution remains a theory, which by definition, is unproven. It should be presented along with other competing scientific theories of our ori-gins, such as the plausible and elegant one of intelligent design.

• Ruling troubling I am disappointed in the recent rul-

ing by U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman against the University of Michigan's Law School admissions pol-icy. What Judge Friedman seems to be saying is that a well-intended effort to remedy past societal and educational discrimination is insufficient unless particular acts of discrimination against specific individuals are being remedied by the law school's policy.

Unfortunately an unintended conse-quence of the ruling, if upheld, likely will be another future court scenario that drags the law school back into court when a specific minority student is not admitted, sues, wins, and the court rules that a well-balanced admissions policy (similar to the cur-rent one) should be implemented.

When major Fortune 500 corpora-tions submitted amicus briefs in sup-port of the law school's position, they were arguing from a similar position, i.e., past discrimination is wrong; cul-tural diversity is a business asset and important for employees and cus-tomers; therefore, including cultural diversity as one criteria with regard to either a pool of qualified employees or vendors is a rational road upon which to proceed?

This common sense reasoning is why the business community is making much more progress than the criminal justice system in developing an inclu-sive society. For example, if one exam-ines the criminal justice system, profil-ing and warehousing of prisoners (a disproportionate number of whom are cultural minorities) are major prob-lems. Clearly, with regard to those issues, the state does have a com-pelling state interest - and would ben-efit from a more diverse pool of candi-dates for judgeships and other legal positions. Currently, most criminal justice institutions reflect primarily the white community and show little representation from communities of color.

Judge Friedman, despite the ruling, did have one excellent suggestion: reducing the reliance on LSAT scores, which research has shown are not a reliable predictor of either law student or law graduate success. The primary message, however, in this federal court decision is that diversity among stu-dent populations is not important and can be ignored as a major educational objective.

I hope that a better-reasoned and more thoughtful ruling will occur dur-ing the appeal process. Unless diversi-ty initiatives such as the law school's admissions procedure are accepted, institutions will never become inclu-

sive. Our institutions and communities

need to mirror more closely, not just some of us, but all of America's people.

• Give peace a chance In writing, my hope is that we will

all unite in taking action to bring peace to our communities. I, like you, have seen the effects of a world at unrest. We have seen wars, hatred and much death. This death is not only upon foreign lands, but also right in our schools and homes. On April 20,1999, the tragedy of Columbine High School occurred. On March 6, 2001, almost two years later, we had another horror in a school in Santee, Calif. This shows that we have done nothing to change the hearts and minds of the students to make sure this does not occur again. Unless we get to the cause of these tragedies, unless we stop trying to put a Band-Aid on the symptoms of a sick society, we will continue to mourn without hope of change. My hope is that you will see there is a "Peaceful Solution" and a positive way to change the way our society is heading.

On Feb. 23-25 the Third Global Con-ference on Peace was hosted by The House of Yahweh in Abilene, Texas. It was co-convened by Dr. Yisrayl Hawkins, from Abilene and Dr. Orye-ma Johnson from Canada. There were 16 countries represented there, includ-ing men and women from China, Rus-sia, Israel and Nigeria. Representa-tives from various peace organizations across the United States were also in attendance.

Though the people came from many nations, the problems all stemmed from the same cause: a lack of educa-tion in the laws of moral principles. It was agreed upon by all, that with proper education, starting at a very young age, all forms of the negative effects that we see in modern day soci-ety would be eliminated. "The only way to stop hate and killing is through education, taught through the laws in the Peaceful Solution," said the repre-sentative from Israel. The representa-tive from Armenia totally agreed with this statement. These two men have seen the devastating effects of their countries at war, because only war is taught there. Now they will be taking back with them hope, through the teaching of the Peaceful Solution.

What is the Peaceful Solution? The Peaceful Solution is a set of moral principles that can be taught to all people. Everyone who is taught and practices The Peaceful Solution will greatly benefit from these principles.

Box 2442, Abilene, Texas 79604; or e-mail: info@peacefulsolution.coni and request the Peaceful Solution program which was offered at the Third Global conference on Peace in Abilene, Texas.

You have the opportunity and the responsibility to do something to make a change.

Tragic mistake?

it

The fact that Russia presently has an inventory of 6,000 nuclear war- . heads on 2,300 missiles, thanks to our ^. aid, still poses a definitive threat but • worse than tha t is the armament and j personnel being maintained and increased by China. V

It presently maintains the world's ' * largest standing army with 2.5 million troops under arms. It has a Navy with 260,000 sailors, 60 conventional subs, six nuclear submarines and a surface fleet of 40 frigates, and 20 destroyers, all of which carry anti-ship cruise mis- ' siles. ' ;

Keep in mind that those missiles were useless a few years ago. They could shoot them into the air at any time and they never knew where the missiles would land. Today, they have the technology to pinpoint their tar-gets accurately thanks to having unde-niably purchased the technology from Bill Clinton and the National Democ-ratic Party.

In addition, China has 50 amphibi-ous landing ships and a massive ship-building program. Its air force has 5,300 combat aircraft, 650 transport aircraft and more than 400,000 per- : sonnel. With the additional aid of U.S. technology this despotic nation has ; built 18 silos for CSS-4 ICBMs capable presently of hitting the United States.

Archer's accomplishment was to end city-suburb feud

Phil Power

A lot of newsprint got consumed last week in printing all the commentary — most of it "on the one'hand, on the other" variety — that followed Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer's surprise decision not-to run for a third term.

©n the plus side, Archer contributed substan-tially to economic development in his city. Comer-icaPark, Ford Field, the casinos (love 'em or hate

'em), and the Campus Martius redevelopment featuring the Compuware headquarters would not have happened with-out Archer's quiet and persua-sive work with the business com-munity.

On the minus side, there are still terrible problems in the neighborhoods and in getting

the city bureaucracy to function properly. There arS still thousands of vacant homes waiting to be torn down. The streetlights (not to mention the city-owned power plant) don't work all the time. Deep-seated problems remain with both the fire department and the police. Archer never seemed to get around to confronting the powerful and entrenched municipal unions, and he had to be dragged by Gov. John Engler and the Legislature into facing up to the mess in Detroit public schools.

But any fair-minded assessment of Dennis Archer's tenure as mayor must begin — and, in my view, end — with the reality that his election ended the petty and increasingly nasty estrange-ment between Detroit and the rest of the state that was the primary sad legacy of Coleman A. Young's too-long term in office.

It was a terrible time for anybody who believes that Michigan simply cannot stand to let its largest city float off into the Detroit River. On the surface, Young pitted the city against the sub-urbs; underneath lurked worsening race relations and naked racial politics. Repeatedly ignored and occasionally insulted, the business community basically picked up its briefcase (and checkbook) and went home. The news media, initially entranced with Young's tough-talking (read: "pro-fane") style, soon began to ask tough questions about how things were really going in Detroit.

Things were very bad. And nobody could see a way out until there was a new mayor.

When Archer decided to,run for mayor in 1992, early on he called Nellie Varner, then my col-league on the U-M's board of regents, and me. He needed expert academic help, he said, in develop-ing a program for the city. But he couldn't rely on

the folks at Wayne State, who were probably in Coleman Young's pocket. So, he asked, could we pull some experts together to help him think through Detroit's problems.

For months, we met every couple of weeks in my office in Livonia, ironically at that time one of Mayor Young's main targets in the "all-white suburbs."

Watching Archer in those meetings was a reve-lation. We all knew he was smart, well educated, a distinguished lawyer. But he showed us an open curiosity, a willingness to learn, a capacity to put together seemingly unrelated things into a coherent political package.

When Archer was elected in 1993, most people

Archer brought hack Detroit back into the mainstream of Michigan.

were enthused. Here was an honest, intelligent, well-meaning man with the political skills to sur-vive a tough election and a stated intention to bring the city and the state back together.

By and large, that's what Dennis Archer has accomplished during his eight years in office. Sure he can be criticized for not being a detail-oriented, kick-butt manager, and he can be blamed for being unwilling to hire somebody who was. His style — fair-minded, even juridical, always seeking to build consensus — sometimes seemed more well suited to a court or boardroom than to the rough-and-tumble politics of a blue collar city.

But these criticisms pale, at least in my mind, next to his great achievement — an achievement that is necessarily linked to precisely the digni-fied, well meaning and honest person he is: He brought Detroit back into the mainstream of Michigan.

Other succeeding mayors may be tougher man-agers or better street fighters. Maybe they'll be able to face down the unions, restore the neigh-borhoods, change the nonchalant bureaucratic culture. But at least they won't have to figure out how to reconnect Detroit with the civil society of our state..

Dennis Archer is a fine man, a man of integrity and good will. As Mayor of Detroit, he performed an enormously valuable service to his city and his state. And, possibly most of all, he displayed uncommonly good judgment in knowing when to step down without overstaying his welcome.

As a city celebrates 300, we can hope for a new tomorrow

Hugh Gallagher

Several years ago on a trip to DisneyWorld, we caught the act at the comedy club on Paradise Island. The MC asked people in the audience where they were from. One young woman said

she was from Farmington Hills.

"What's that near?" the MC asked.

"Oh, it's, um, a suburb of Ann Arbor," she replied.

Quite a stretch. But maybe the woman felt that being linked to the athletic prowess and acad-emic pretensions of the city on the Huron was prefer-able to being

linked to the decaying, crime-infested city on the Detroit River. Maybe she was part of that grow-ing group in western Oakland and Wayne coun-ties who think of downtown Ann Arbor as "Down-town," and rarely venture into Detroit except for a baseball game now and then.

Her response was not typical, of course. For most of us when we're out of Michigan and some-one asks where we're from, we say, "We're from Detroit," meaning not the city but the wider area that includes at its hub the city and then the towns fanning out in three directions. The stigma is a bit less than it was when the woman decided to link up with the university town. A new base-ball park and the Fox Theatre have given the city a little boost. The crime rate is down. The mayor doesn't snar l -

But, the fundamental divide remains. The racial and economic divisions and presumptions i are still in place.

This is a good year to reassess both the city of Detroit and the wider region that is identified by its name. This year WE celebrate an anniversary.

In July Detroit celebrates its 300th anniver-sary. Antoine Laumet de Lamothe Cadillac creat-ed a settlement on the north shore at the narrows of the river connecting what are now Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie. That settlement was named Tort Ponchartrain du Detroit. From this small >eginning an industrial giant would one day rise, The Arsenal of Democracy," "The City of Cham-ions," "Motown." And its story is our story,

because this celebration marks not just the begin-ning of the city but of the metro area itself. We are an outgrowth of that founding, of that distant French outpost.

The ribbon farms of the French settlers were the first "suburban" settlements, away from the central fort. And the city has been growing out ever since.

Our suburbs grew in different ways to meet changing needs, but each began with settlers who first landed in Detroit. Plymouth and Farmington began as farm towns. Garden City was created to provide affordable housing for young workers. Livonia began as a farm community but grew into the archetype of the modern suburb, a bed-room community with an industrial core, as both workers and their jobs moved out of the central city.

While we celebrate and chronicle life in the suburbs, we also honor the mother city that gave birth to these suburbs and with which these sub-urbs are forever linked. Detroit has a vibrant past, famous for its auto industry, its storied sports teams, its soulful music. For decades its downtown stores were a magnet for city and sub-urban shoppers alike. Its theaters and nightclubs kept things going to the wee hours of the morn-ing. For many out of towners, Detroit was a "hot" place to be.

Detroit's promise of jobs brought people from distant places. My family left the coal mines of Pennsylvania to find a brighter future in the auto industry. Black and white sharecroppers left fal-low Southern fields for the same reason. Poles and Syrians brought their relatives from the old country to share in their prosperity. Detroit was a beacon of opportunity, a chance for a new and better life.

We owe it more than a shrug. We need to join together in its renewal.

Detroit has taken severe blows since the devas-tating riot of 1967. The abandonment of the busi-ness community and the middle class (black and white) have furthered the deterioration.

But, when the tall ships sail past the RenCen this summer, it will be the perfect opportunity to rededicate ourselves to rebuilding that once great city on the bend in the river.

Are Americans disconnecting from neighbors?

Mike Malott

The neighborhood I grew up in the 1960s was, by today's standards, no great shakes - just rows of cracker box houses in northwest Flint. I wouldn't buy that house today, or one like it.

But we knew all the neighbors for half a block around. And it wasn't just because I was a kid. My parents made several lifelong friends before they packed their bags for suburban pastures.

My wife and I bought our first house in Pontiac in the '80s. After living there five years, I'd gotten to know only three neighbors. And in my last neighborhood, I moved out after nine years with-out having had so much as a single conversation with another resident more extensive than "Hey, how are ya."

Maybe I'm just not a very social guy. But if that's true, I've got a lot of company.

"That's not unusual," said Mariam Noland, pres-ident of the Community Foundation for Southeast-ern Michigan. "A lot of people tell us they have a similar experience."

In fact, Harvard Professor Robert Putnam began noticing that Americans are increasingly discon-necting from their neighbors and communities -resulting in a "decline in our social capital," as he puts it - back in 1995. He wrote an article on the declining attendance of bowling leagues across the country, despite the fact the sport overall appeared to be more popular than ever. Eventual-ly, he authored a book about the phenomena called "Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community."

In it, Putnam concluded from his research that Americans spend about 35 percent less time with friends than they did 30 years ago. Families have dinner together roughly two-thirds as often as they used to. Club attendance over the past 30 years had dropped by almost 60 percent. Further-more, Americans entertained in their homes only about half as often as they used to.

Why is it happening? It seems to have every-thing to do with how we live. Instead of residing in tightly packed rows of homes, we prefer spacious subdivisions so well designed to preserve our pri-vacy they don't even feature sidewalks.

"Every 10 minutes of commuting time cuts all forms of social involvement by 10 percent," Noland said. In a region where almost everybody spends a half hour to an hour on the road to get to the office each day, that's a substantial cut in the time and energy people have to chum with friends.

Then there's television. "Television is the only social activity that actually produces a reduction

in social capital," Noland contended. Things aren't quite as bad as they sound. The

Community Foundation for Southeastern Michi-gan pitched in with 36 similar organizations earli-er this year for a Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey of 11 categories of socializing.

Americans spend about 35 per-cent less time with friends than they did 30 years ago. Families

have dinner together roughly two-thirds as often as they used to.

The seven-county region turned out to have some real strengths. In fact, every community included in the survey turned out to have strengths. Very few fell below the national averages in all 11 cate-gories.

Southeast Michigan has strong religious affilia-tions, ranking three points above the national average. The region did well in categories of giving and volunteering and involvement in politics. But it got its highest scores in membership in groups, 18 points over the national average, and informal socializing, 21 points over.

One area that surprised Noland was that area residents spend more time than the average socializing with their colleagues from work, a trend she believes will help to reduce workplace violence.

The survey, Noland explained, will serve as the benchmark against which future studies are com-pared. There are plans to continue to the survey in future years to track any improvements or declines.

And the Community Foundation will also be looking for programs it can sponsor to "invest* in social capital. The foundation supports nonprofit organizations through grants, so it will seek pro-grams that can increase socializing in the region.

Of course, we can all contribute, even without money. Pick up a phone, or have friends over for a chat. It turns out that it's your civic duty.

Patterson proposes sewer upgrade bonds BY MIKE MALOTT

HOMETOWN NEWS SERVICE

m m a l o t t @ h o m e c o m m . n e t

"I picked a n u m b e r for th i s bond that is staggeringly large, but if you look at the numbers of what it will take to fix this prob-lem, it may not be staggeringly large enough," said s ta te Rep. Bruce Patterson, R-Canton.

He has introduced legislation, House Bill 4625, to issue general obligation bonds worth $1 billion for upgrading municipal sewer systems across the s ta te in the hopes of eliminating overflows.

But estimates for what is need go much higher, he pointed out. In t h e s o u t h e a s t Mich igan

'This is a legacy item. This is something that we could do for our grandchildren, something that would still be here long after I'm gone.'

Rep. Bruce Patterson R-Canton

reg ion , r e p a i r s necessary to sewer lines and plants have been estimated at a cost of $13 billion to $15 bill ion. Statewide, t he numbers may get closer to $50 billion.

If approved by the Legislature, the $1 billion bond issue would go on t h e ba l lo t in 2002 for

approval by voters. If they too give a go-ahead, the state would issue bonds, essentially taking a loan, to make funds available to municipalities. The money could be handed out as grants, aid or loans to be paid back to the state at low interest rates.

For the bond, Pat terson said

the s ta te can get interest rates as low as 4.5 percent. "That's not bad," he said. Over the 40 year life of the bond, the state would have to pay some $667 million in interest.

"This is a legacy item. This is something tha t we could do for our grandchi ldren , something t h a t would s t i l l be he r e long after I'm gone," Patterson said.

He said he is proposing the bond in conjunction with a pro-posal already under considera-tion in the Senate to make $25 million available each year, for 5 years, from the state's rainy day fund for sewer upgrades. Pro-posed by Sen. Ken Sikkema, R-Grandville, the bill would make

money available to match federal grants for sewer work.

After s t a te regula tors found extensive problems wi th sewer overflows in Macomb Coun ty last year, they surveyed commu-nities to find out how many had experience sewer overflows in the past five years. An overflow occurs in a sani tary sewer sys-tem was wastewater overwhelms sewer lines or t reatment plants and r e s u l t in a r e l e a s e of untreated sewage into rivers or streams.

In t h e su rvey , Mich igan Depar tment of Envi ronmenta l Quality learned more t h a n 200 communit ies had experienced previously unknown sewer over-flows during-that time.

House proposes to simplify Michigan tax filing process .1 I J _ i- i. _ i V n ^ n n ft 1 / /S A Y1

BY MIKE MALOTT HOMETOWN NEWS SERVICE m m a l o t t @ h o m e c o m m . n e t

Tax cutting may be seen as a rich man's game, bu t those a t lower income levels a re more likely to be the ones who overpay because of missed deduct ions and credits, according to Michi-gan House Tax Pol icy C h a i r Nancy Cassis, R-Novi.

"The complexity of filling out state and federal tax forms has a tendency to produce inequity," she explained. "Those with the

• means can get more understand-. ing of their deductions by seek-' ing outside help. Residents with

less m e a n s m i g h t no t t a k e • advantage of the i r due deduc-

tions and end up overpaying." Cas s i s r e c e n t l y a s s i g n e d a

f ive-member subcommi t t ee to the task of studying the state's tax filing process and coming up with recommendations this Octo-

ber for simplification. The subcommittee, chaired by

Rep. Steve Vear , R-Hillsdale, will hold hear ings in Lansing throughout the summer to take input from citizens, professional tax-preparers and accountants, as well as t h e s t a t e ' s own D e p a r t m e n t of T rea su ry , al l aimed at making it easier to fill out tax forms. Also on the com-m i t t e e a r e Reps. Randy Richa rdv i l l e , R-Monroe, Bob Brown, D-Dearborn Heigh t s , Leon Drole t , D-Macomb, and Paul Wojno, D-Warren.

The s u b c o m m i t t e e is also assigned to the job of eliminating dupl ica t ion , combining forms and making increasing use of e-filing, tele-filing and fax filing.

"As an accountant who helps prepare tax re turns , I am well aware of the complexity of figur-ing out income taxes. It 's j u s t wrong," Vear said. "As the old

saying goes, 'There's nothing cer-ta in but dea th and taxes. ' We can't do anyth ing about dea th but we can and must make sure our tax system is fair and easy to understand."

Mich igan t a x f o r m s m i g h t already seem simple compared to those used by the federal gov-ernment, but that is not true of all state taxes, Cassis said.

"The S ingle B u s i n e s s Tax almost always requires the busi-nessperson to have to hire some-one else to fill out those forms," she said.

And even s t a t e income t a x forms are not as simple as they could or should be, she said. "We had a goal of putting everything on a post card t h a t you could mail back, but we didn' t quite make that," she said of an earli-er effort at tax simplification.

Cass i s sa id a r e c e n t p a p e r studying federal tax filings sup-

ports her position that it is those a t the lower income levels that most often miss their deductions and credits and wind up over-paying on their taxes.

Of course, that would suggest the tax simplification task force could end up cu t t ing t ax rev-

enues to t he s t a t e to some degree, but how much is not yet known. Sti l l , Cass i s sa id t h e potential for a revenue cut won't slow down her push for simplifi-cation, even if the economy does moderate or go into a recession.

"Absolutely not," she said. "It's

a m a t t e r of f a i r n e s s . People should only pay as much as they owe. Besides, when an individu-al can keep some money in his wallet and not have to send it off to Lansing, they can use it arid spend it in ways tha t boost the economy."

Work begins on Haggerty construction

H a g g e r t y Road was closed Tuesday between Hines Drive and Plymouth Road in Plymouth Township for road and bridge reconstruction. The start date on I t h i s one ha s k i n d of bounced a round because of a p rob lem with availability of material for ! the new bridge.

This Wayne Coun ty pro jec t should last un t i l ear ly or mid August, depending on weather, etc. The posted detour will be via Lilley to the west, accessible v ia P l y m o u t h Road f rom t h e north or Ann Arbor Road to the south.

The construction crew will be raising the elevation of the road at t h e bo t tom of t h e h i l l to r educe the c u r r e n t l y s t eep incline. This should make travel there much safer, especially in the winter.

The new road will be a two-l ane steel re inforced concrete p a v e m e n t bu i l t to l a s t 30-35 y e a r s . The b r i d g e over t h e Rouge River will be a four-lane structure (to anticipate possible f u t u r e w i d e n i n g of H a g g e r t y Road) and should last at least 50 years.

Finally, for anyone who may be participating with the March of Dimes walk t h i s S a t u r d a y , a r rangements a re being made with the organizers of the event to allow them access to shuttle participants down the hill from a parking area to the walk site so no changes in those plans will be necessary.

Sen. Smith will speak at UM-D May 6

S t a t e Sen . A l m a W h e e l e r Smith will be the main speaker a t the Universi ty of Michigan-Dearborn commencement cere-mony on May 6.

Approximately 800 s tuden t s will receive bachelor's and mas-ter 's degrees a t the ceremony, which will be h e l d in Cr i s le r Arena on the Ann Arbor campus. The ceremony was moved to Ann Arbor for this year because the F ie ldhouse on t h e D e a r b o r n

Lewandowski and the rest of the vaudevillians desper-

ately need someone to open the show. Maxie, the dog in the

Mack and Maxie act, has died and the vaudevillians are trying

every trick they know to lure Kitty (played by Mandy Pascas of Plymouth)

into singing and dancing a number even though she's never been on stage before.

Mademoiselle Yvette, played by Lewandowski of Canton, will stop at noth-ing. When the song and dance routine does-n't work, she pulls a dog suit out of her trunk and convinces Kitty to try it on. What next?

Keep 'em guessing Only the audience at the Plymouth The-

atre Guild's production of "Vaudeville: A Play with Music" will learn if Kitty will or won't go on when the show opens Friday, May 4 at the Water Tower Theatre in Northville.

Set in Philadelphia in 1919, the play was written by Laurence Carr. It premiered at The Attic Theater in Detroit in 1986.

"It's a slice of life of vaudevillian people boarding at this time in Kit Turner's house," said director Barbara Bloom who grew up in Farmington Hills. "There's a British singer, an Irish tenor, a Jewish straight man in a comedy team, an African American song and dance man, each have their story. It's just before the roaring 20s

and women still wore the Gibsons and corsets. Vaudeville was one of the few arenas where women were equals.

"If I could have picked an era to be born in this was it. You played a week here, a week there. There were different circuits you

might travel on. To play the Orpheum in New York was saying to the world I made

Interesting music Music director C.J.

Nodus remembers many of the songs from the years he worked as a piano player in a New York Burlesque house. He was 13 and recently arrived from the Soviet Union.

"What's interesting about the music is that it is not ' all recognizable," said Nodus of Livonia. 'By the Beautiful Sea,' 'Shine on Harvest Moon' and 'Hello, My Baby,' many genera-tions will remember these but at different times total-ly obscure songs are thrown in that fit the peri-

od. What's interesting with each character he tried to

create a signature piece like Yiddish Cowboy.' Many of the roots were Yiddish theater from the, turn of the century. You have to remember the past to under-stand what you're doing now. Vaudeville is the roots of musical theater. There are definite lines of continuation. Jack Benny, Bob Hope, George Burns and Gracie Allen were all vaudeville come-dians.

"But it's a play as opposed to a musical, or a vaudeville show with the routines and patter. This is the back stage. This is a vaudeville house where they lived."

Like Bloom, Barbara Mathers loves the era. The Walled Lake resident plays Kit Turner, owner of the boarding house and moth-er of 16-year-old Kitty.

"I love it because it's a period piece," said Mathers who's worked with the Rosedale Community Players for 23 years. "It can teach us about where theater came from. The whole show from beginning to end is fun."

There won't be a dry eye in the place, though, when Jim Christianson takes the stage as Mack Maxwell. This is only the third production for the Livonia resident who's been offstage for 35 years.

"Mack is in his 60s and of Eastern European background," said Christianson. "His dog has been his partner for 15 years and he dies in the second act. It's the first time I've ever had an emotional

MUSICAL

'Phantom' characters take off masks to talk about show BY KEELY WYGONIK STAFF WRITER kwygonik@oe.homecomm.net

When Rebecca Pitcher first heard the music from "The Phantom of the Opera" she fell in love with the Phantom not Raoul.

"Why is Christine in love with Raoul. I thought he was a weenie," said Pitcher, who portrays Christine in the touring production of "The Phan-tom of the Opera" now playing at the Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit.

To her the Phantom seemed more masculine, more romantic. But af ter she saw the show, Pitcher saw his dark side and understood why Christine falls in love with Raoul.

She's happy with her leading man. "John Cudia who plays Raoul is very attractive, and has a beautiful voice," said Pitcher. "He brings a lot of energy to the role."

First impressions Talking about first impressions is fun. Can you

imagine making your living as Christine or the Phantom?

"He's just a nice man to work with," said Pitch-er recalling the moment the Phantom, portrayed by Ted Keegan, grabbed her from behind for a hug. "Here he was just wearing shorts and full

make-up." The man whom the audience perceives as a myster ious, dark, romantic character has a real face behind t h a t mask.

"Ted's great," said Pitch-er. "All the Phantoms I've worked with have been cool. They're not snotty, Broadway people."

Keegan has portrayed the Phantom both on Broadway and with the tour ing company of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera."

"It's a great role to do," he said. "He's not just a

mean person, or just mad. He goes from A to Z. You have to play so many emotions. I have a great time doing it, I'm having a blast with the role."

"The Phantom of the Opera," based on Gaston Leroux's novel "Le Fantome de l'Opera," tells the

The audience won't be in tears for long if David Thompson is anything like his character, Tim O'Reilly. The 30-something Irish tenor will have them in stitches.

"I like the role because it's not a stereotype," said Thompson of Fairhaven. "It's a brand new character. And it's a simpler but harder time but they didn't know it because they didn't have cell phones back then."

Wild Swan Theatre in "Along the Tracks." He has also acted with Detroit Repertory Theatre.

"He's one of the better acts," said Johnson. "I like that he's the underdog. It's a pivotal part. He doesn't go on until the final act so he's one of the better acts. He says things like what went wrong with your wedding? The marriage."

Bloom expects a lot of the lines to bring out groans in the audi-ence.

"The Phantom is a misunder-stood character," said Keegan. "He has his own concept of right and wrong, and is never accepted by society."

"There is human i ty in the show that touches people," said Keegan. "It's very clearly written and easy to understand."

Winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, "The Phantom of the Opera" has mes-merized U.S. audiences since it opened in New York on Jan. 26, 1988.

"I think it's the mystery of the story," said Pitcher. "It's full of love, growth, it 's just magical, it's a spectacle, people see it, and

want to be a part of it." That's certainly the case for

Keegan and Pitcher, who both saw the play while they were in college and decided then that the Phantom and Chris t ine were roles they wanted to play.

"It was a dream," said Pitcher. "I remember saying, 'Man this

is a show I would love to do and six years later I was doing it,'" recalled Keegan.

"The story itself is amazing; you'll fall in love with the char-acters," said Pitcher. "The Phan-tom is trying to capture and hold Christine. It's kind of like when

your parents don't want to let go of you. Christine is really con-fused."

In addition to his work as the Phan tom, Keegan recent ly recorded a CD "Ted Keegan Sings" f ea tu r ing some of h is favorite songs, including "Music of the Night." To find out more about it, v is i t www.tedkeegan.com

"Phantom of the Opera" is directed by Harold Prince, and p resen ted by The Cameron Mackintosh/Really Useful The-atre Company.

Enjoy a night out to help Gilda's Club BY SHARON DARGAY STAFF WRITER

Gilda's Club, the cancer sup-port group named after the late comedian, Gilda Radner, will t rade s tand-up for Motown sounds at its annual fund-raiser on May 3.

The club, based in Royal Oak, will keep the mood upbeat with food, dancing, and music by KGB with Karen Harris, from 6:30 p.m., to 10 p.m., at Andiamo Banquet Center, in Warren.

"We looked at what we had done for the last two years and felt we wanted to take a differ-ent approach. The organization is young and doesn't want to feel locked into any one format," said Lisa Barrie, development direc-tor.

"We talked about wanting to hold a big party, where people could come to enjoy good food and music.

Gilda's Big Night Out evolved from a comedy fund-raiser start-ed in 1994 by the la te Alyce Faye, a comedian and Farming-ton resident.

"It began with Alyce and a bunch of vo lunteers , buil t around comedy. It morphed into the f i r s t Gilda's n ight out in 1999," Barrie said.

"When Gilda's Big Night Out was created, it was clear it would be a special party. It was unclear what the format would be. It was comedy the first two years but we left our selves open to discover other kinds of par-ties."

T i c k e t s Tickets to the event are $150

and will include food wi th a Motown flavor — Coney Island hot dogs, s l iders, Greektown favorites — as well as canapes and Andiamo specialties.

April is

"It's an eclectic mix - fun junk food and I ta l ian r e s t a u r a n t foods. There's an open bar."

General Motors Corporation is sponsoring the event and i ts chief Envi ronmenta l Officer Denny Minano and his wife, Marty, will serve as honorary ch&irs

The club will ra f f le a 2002 Buick Rendezvous, donated by General Motors, dur ing the party. Raffle tickets are $100 each. Six hundred will be sold.

Gilda's Big Night Out is one of two major fund-raisers that gen-erate revenue for the club's pro-gram.

"This is responsible for almost a quarter of our budget. Our pro-gram is free, so all fund-raising is geared toward paying the bills."

Cancer patients, their friends and family members, may attend weekly wellness group sessions, monthly networking groups, lec-tures and workshops, as well as

social events, such as monthly potluck par t i es , for f ree a t Gilda's Club.

"Today we've got pencil draw-ing, a guided imagery workshop and journal workshops," Barrie described a programming at the club. "It 's also our month ly potluck party today. We did a Sound of Music party once and we all dressed up as nuns.

"It 's all r a t h e r kooky and funny and that is the essence of Gilda's House. The idea is to laugh through it all. Cancer is unfunny."

Members also come together for lectures and classes in more serious topics, such as develop-ments in breast cancer t rea t -ment.

Admission t ickets to Gilda's Big Night Out and car ra f f le tickets are available by calling Gilda's Club Metro Detroit a t (248) 577-0800.

Trinity House arms itself for battle of the sexes BY KEELY WYGONIK STAFF WRITER kwygonik@oe.homecomm.net

William Shakespeare's way of speaking isn't something you'd hear on a street corner, but his stories are just as relevant today as they were when he wrote them.

Men and women still fall in and out of love, play hard to get, and parents interfere creating madcap chaos.

Trinity House Theatre is giv-ing "The Taming of the Shrew" Shakespeare's classic tale about a battle between the sexes, a 1960s makeover in a production opening this Friday.

"It's kind of over the top come-dy," said Scot Martin of Redford who portrays Vincentio. "You could see Charlie Chaplin doing it - it's very physical - it's got charm, and it's funny."

Vincentio is the fa ther who goes to visit his son Lucentio and finds that his son and servant have been up to some trouble. Kind of the equivalent of discov-ering your child had maxed out your Visa card.

"Shakespeare is for everyone," said Martin who teaches English and history to high schoolers at Pearson Education Center in Redford. "This is one of those plays that ages 12 and up can get something out of. It's about the way men and women act and relate to each other."

Guy Snyder has been wanting to do Shakespeare at Trinity House Theat re ever since he

What: Trinity House Theatre p resen ts Wi l l i am Shake-speare's "The Taming of the Shrew" When: Friday, April 27 to Sun-day, May 20. Performances 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 3 p.m. Sunday. Where: At the theater, 38840 W. Six Mile Road (between Haggerty and 1-275) Livonia T ickets: $10 general admis-sion, discount for groups of e ight people or more , cal l (734) 464-6302

made a couple of trips to Eng-land and saw the Royal Shake-speare Company in action;

Can we get actors, overcome a natural reluctance to the anti-quated language? - these were some of the questions Snyder, a member of the theater's board of directors, pondered before sug-gesting they do "The Taming of the Shrew."

"It's a good first play," he said. "It's Shakespeare at his finest in terms of entertainment. Come for a very good laugh. It's a very good farce, a comedic look at the marital relationship. We're talk-ing about the stirrings of femi-nism. What is the role of mar-riage - it's a partnership. Love within a marriage was a radical concept in Elizabethan times."

Snyder, a Livonia resident, assistant directs and portrays Gremio, an elderly suitor to one of the women in the play.

Set t ing Laura Gumina of Farmington

Hills is directing, and decided to set the play in the 1960s.

Here's a brief plot summary, compliments of the theater.

Katharina the Shrew matches wits with a "mad brained bride-groom" to create "such a mar-riage that never was before."

The feminis t , Kate, has to make peace with a real "macho guy," Petruchio. "It's a batt le royale tha t t r i umphs in a "Groovy Kind of Love" as modern today as it was in Shakespeare's time.

"It's so much fun," said Gumi-na about the play. "I did research on the Elizabethan era. There was an expectation for women to be demure, soft-spo-ken, unseen. Katharina is reject-ed by her dad because she was so self-confident. Her sister Bianca is every man's dream. She gig-gles a lot, plays up to men.

"If Kate had lived in the 1960s she would have been one of many young women asking for equality, to be taken seriously, and be allowed to make her own choices. There was a social revo-lution going on in England when Shakespeare wrote this play much like the 1960s."

Gumina likes the bat t le of words tha t goes on between characters in the play. "It's real-ly funny, clever," she said. "I have good actors, I jus t got lucky. They're all young. There's a number under 25. They're full of mischief and energy."

Don't be turned off by the idea of an evening of Shakespeare. "The characters are fun, familiar to us, we know people like them, tha t ' s why they're enduring," said Gumina. "There's music between every scene tha t fi ts well."

Int imate space Trinity is an intimate theater

space where you'll feel part of the action, just the way Shake-speare intended.

'Bridget Jones' Diary' is better in book form B Y MATT WOLF

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

London (AP) - For a f i lm whose heroine obsesses over her weight, it's a shame that Bridget Jones's Diary should be such a slim affair.

That ' s unl ikely to ma t t e r to the hordes of readers who turned Helen Fielding's 1996 chronicle of the lovesick Londoner into an international best seller.

Go for it, girl!

Which is exact ly w h a t t h e Bridget of Fielding's delightfully larky book does, aided no end by her suppor t ive t r io of f r i ends Shazza, Jude and Tom and some good luck in the romance sweep-

stakes.

The novel even boasts an end-ing that manages to revel in the same swoony romantic literature - complete wi th a four-poster bed - t h a t it gently sends up. Relationships are indeed possi-ble, Fielding suggests, especially if you can manage not to judge a

In th is age of the emaciated female star, Renee Zellweger dis-plays real courage for someone in her thespian prime by parad-ing thighs as fleshy as those that get mercilessly scrut inized by director Sharon Maguire's cam-era.

And the accent will prove no obstacle to those in the United States. Britons may quibble, but in a class-conscious country the accent m e a n s so much more about where you're f rom and what your background is.

More problematic is the fact -at least to an American observer r e s i d e n t in London - t h a t although her vowel sounds are accurate ly pi tched, Zellweger never really seems British.

Partly, that's to do with a lot of "face ac t ing" ( s c r u n c h e d - u p cheeks , a d o w n t u r n e d mouth and the like) t h a t a di f ferent , more seasoned director might have toned down.

And Zellweger h a s n ' t qui te managed to forsake the over-ingra t i a t ion so much used by Amer ican p e r f o r m e r s and so scorned by t h e i r B r i t i s h col-leagues.

I t ' s as if no one t ru s t ed the very rea l cha rm of t he book, whose 32-year-old he ro ine is sure she'll die "fat and alone" only to end up wi th the dishy Mark Darcy (played by Colin Firth). Zellweger projects eager-ness in a most un-Bridget l ike way, insofar as this is a woman who imagines railway announce-ments blaring to all and sundry the state of her thighs.

The aim, presumably, was to make Bridget Jones a lovable Brit-blockbuster on the order of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill and with Hugh Grant once again on hand as the co-star.

But the new film isn't as well written or directed as the earlier ones, and it's silly and not a lit-tle bit crude where those previ-ous movies were b l i t he and

Novel to screen: Helen Fielding's popular story about a 30-something singleton named Bridget Jones has made it to the silver screen and stars actress Renee Zellweger in the coveted title role.

F i r t h ' s d o u r n e s s h a s n e v e r been seen to such del iciously comic effect, and admirers of this actor will smile a t his presence as another screen Darcy having a l ready played J a n e Aus t en ' s Mr. Darcy in the BBC's Pride and Prejudice.

Gran t is in t e r r i f i c form as Br idge t ' s boss and s o m e t i m e bedmate, Daniel Cleaver. He is first seen to the s t ra ins on the soundtrack of Respect, looking as

if he is suppressing a burp, and he ends up battling the bottled- : up Darcy for Bridget's affections. ,

The parental roles are particu-larly well filled by J im Broad-bent, with his comically bemused ' countenance as Bridget's father*-• and Gemma Jones as his flighty :

"daft cow" of a wife.

No less crucial are the loca- ' tions of a London where it seems forever to be snowing. So what if • it the real London almost never sees the powdery stuff?

Bridget Jones's Diary i s n ' t ' meant to be t aken l i teral ly or even all that seriously. The film is like a dus t ing of snow t h a t melts in the mind the minute it's over.

'Josie' barely scratches out a plot on screen B Y DAVID GERMAIN

A P MOVIE WRITER

LOS ANGELES (AP) - It 's a bad sign when a reviewer gets in to see a movie for free, yet still wants his money back.

People who plunk down nine bucks or so for Josie and the Pussycats will really have some-thing to yowl about.

Though the movie ha s a few mildly funny moments and its three band-mate principals are cute as kittens, Josie is one of the emptiest films imaginable.

T h e r e ' s ba re ly a w h i s k e r ' s wor th of plot, and w h a t does transpire is so shallow it's like watching a bunch of defanged, declawed felines try to get at the c a t n i p ins ide a toy mouse . They'll bat it around a bit, but they won ' t accompl i sh much beyond coating the mouse in cat spit.

Adapted from the comic book and 1970s cartoon series, the movie stars Rachael Leigh Cook as determined singer-guitarist Josie, Rosario Dawson as brassy bass player Val and Tara Reid as ditzy drummer Melody.

Their band is s tuck playing bowling alleys in t he i r home-town of Riverdale unt i l they're spotted by cunning record exec Wyatt Frame (Alan Cumming), who needs a new group in a hurry. No matter that he's never heard them play - Wyatt signs t he Pus syca t s because all he needs are fresh faces to foist off on the passive youth of America.

Under the guidance of label CEO Fiona (Parker Posey), the Pussycats get a hasty makeover, are hurled into the studio and land their first single atop the record charts. Screaming teen-agers chase them and declare Josie and the Pussycats the best band ever.

"Does anyone t h i n k i t ' s strange that all this happened in a week?" Josie asks.

Turns out the Pussycats are pawns in a scheme to implant subliminal messages in music t h a t t u r n l i s t e n e r s in to con-

Cat Scratch Fever: Tara Reid, Rachael Leigh Cook and Rosario are Melody, Josie and Val - better known to the Archie Comic world as uJosie and the Pussycats."

lie film is still purring in metro area theaters. T i

sumer zombies. Snooze. Josie and the Pussycats is col-

o r fu l and busy w i t h p r e t t y images. But co-writers and direc-tors Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont seem content to toss in a bit of music-video style and only trace elements of wit.

The movie t r ies to spoof the marke t ing and packaging and force-feeding of music and mer-chandise. Only it does so on such little cat's feet tha t those huck-sters who do all tha t marketing and packag ing come t h r o u g h without a scratch.

Good thing for the movie, too, since under the guise of light-h e a r t e d s a t i r e , Josie and the Pussycats is itself the worst sort of p r o d u c t - p l a c e m e n t whore .

There's barely a scene that isn't sh i l l ing for a sof t d r i n k or a. brand of toothpaste or a music channel Web site.

And of course the movie itself, is a long-form video promoting i ts soundt rack (now in s tores-and selling like hotcake, singu-lar). Like the film, the songs are. pleasantly benign and thorough-ly forgettable.

This was a questionable movie project from the outset. Other^ cartoons and comic-book adapts- i t ions such as The Flintstone'S and X-men had sizable f o l l o w * ings. While many people remem?: ber t he Josie c a r toons and* comics fondly, it's doubtful any»* one was h y p e r v e n t i l a t i n g in ! anticipation of a live-action vet** sion.

Rainer Maria serves up 'A Better Version of Me' Some might

say Kyle Fischer got more t h a n an educat ion while going to college. He got a rock band too.

Kyle Fischer (guitar/ vocals),

mPHANIE a l 0 n S w i t h

X c W O L A C a i t h l i n D e Marrais (bass,

• vocals) and William Kuehn (drums) a re Rainer Maria, a rock trio tha t toQk its name from 19th Century Aust r ian Poet, Rainer Mar ia Rijke. "The three of us met at the University of Wisconsin," said Fischer, during a recent ph!one conversation. "Bill, our driummer and I actually met go£ng to punk rock shows in Madison, Wisconsin."

Kuehn convinced him to join a punk rock band and Fischer began playing guitar. But the two soon wandered into creating a new sound — music that didn't

quite fit the punk rock mold. "I'd s tar ted writing stuff, t ha t we weren't using," recalled Fischer. "I decided, this is more interest-ing to me."

Enter the missing link, the lovely Caithlin De Marrais. "I met Caithlin at a University of Wisconsin Poetry Workshop," said Fischer. "We were sort of becoming friends." He organized extra sessions for his classmates to meet and discuss poetry - but had an ulterior motive in mind. "I really hoped Caithlin would show up, which of course she did. I was like 'Score!' She moved into my place July or August of that year."

That year was 1995 and by September, Rainer Maria had come into form. "She hadn't even sung before," he remembered. "She picked it up for the band."

Poetic past The lyrical and rhythmic influ-

ence of its poetic past has flowed through Rainer Maria's sound

from the start. The trio began by transforming poetry into song. "We had this like great sort of well. Every week a poem was due in class. You get in the habit of writing that stuff."

Far from the poetry classroom these days, the New York City transplants released their sev-enth effort, appropriately titled A Better Version of Me, on Polyvinyl Records in February. Rainer Maria proved once again to be the kids at the head of the indie rock class, weaving visions of love, heartache and beauty through some familiar quest to search out meaning in life. De Marrais' fragile voice resonates above the shush of Kuehn 's drums and clatter of Fischer's guitar, sharing a depth not easi-ly or often achieved.Songs like Ceremony, Artificial Light and The Contents of Lincoln's Pockets leave you feeling ra t t led and above all, like a good poem, make you think.

"It's a very different experi-

ence, listening to a song or read-ing a poem," admi ts Fischer. "For a really effective song, I think it helps if the song commu-nicates most of what it has to offer (the first time), even in a live setting. You get everything in the first listen. On one hand the song asks for a certain level of more simplicity. The music helps you along. In some ways you don't have to be as dense with the subject matter."

For this album, the band again worked with producer/engineer Mark Haines and Elliot Dicks at Smar t Studios in Wisconsin. Like a re turn home to where they first created this distinct mix of emotion and instrumenta-tion, Fischer said he wasn't look-ing for a new sound or another producer. "People started really paying attention after Look Now Look Again." Af te r the las t record made Spin's Top 20 Albums of 1999, Rainer Maria didn ' t want "to r i sk it" with someone new.

As with any project, t he re were a few surprises. For Fisch-er it was the sheer evolution of the album's opening track. "I never ever thought that Artifi-cial Light would be the first song on the album. It 's the second song we wrote for the album. When we were playing it in New York it was like it was going over people's heads...We weren't ever going to record it."

But Mark Haines did get the tune. He knew just how to mix it and where to put it. "Low and behold, Artificial Light is my favorite song," said Fischer. "I would put it up agains t any other song."

The band approaches its work openly. "We're always all-for-one, one-for-all. Everyone has parts they have they do. We're

three parts of a triangle." The system works well. Fischer is perfectly content with the fin-ished product. "It's so exactly the way we sound as a band. It is a better version of us."

So what does Kyle Fischer do when he's not writing? Write of course. He is working on songs for a solo project. Call it a non-stop cycle for the utterly dedicat-ed. "It's mostly acoustic guitar. It's what I do on my days off"

i New eatery adds to Franklin Village charm BY ELEANOR HEALD SPECIAL WRITER

Around noon about six years ago, while on duty as a Franklin village volunteer

firefighter, Lori Grundy wished there was some place close she could go for lunch.

She made her wish come true. When the business owner of

The Village Barn gift shop in F rank l in w a n t e d to re t i re , Grundy, a 10-year Franklin resi-dent, bought it.

"Exactly one year, 18 days and 16 hours after taking occupancy of the building, I opened for busi-ness as the Franklin Grill in late February," she said.

Grundy had never been in the restaurant business. "I had a vision," she explained.

"I knew what I wanted and I launched it with gut instincts."

At the outset, there were many challenging hurdles. The village of F rank l in h a d not had a restaurant in a quarter century. To preserve uniqueness, historic downtowns have bui lding restrictions and sign ordinances.

"It was all new to me," Grundy continued. "I learned as I went along, but that was the business side. What I learned personally was that if you don't have guts,

you'll never make it. You can't let anything stop you from fulfill-ing a vision."

People element A Franklin Grill patron can't

miss that this eatery is all about people.

Its roots created it as such. While the res taurant vision

was just that, Grundy had the good fortune of hiring Chef Keith Dysarczyk of It's Ready catering in Troy for a party in her home. She shared her vision with Chef Keith, who literally waited two years for its fulfillment.

"I knew in an instant that Lori was a different kind of person," Chef Keith maintained. "When you know it's right — it's right."

Amid the frustration of finding a contractor, Mike Hyde, owner of MJT Contracting in Plymouth, re-entered Grundy's life. Twenty years ear l ier they were high school c lassmates . With h is experience in contracting work for other small eateries, Hyde guided Grundy through all the permits and licensing paperwork in addition to remodeling the gift shop into a classic old-fashioned diner gone modern.

table. Look around at the taste-ful renovation of an old building, now a charming historic fit with bared t imbers and barnwood walls. What's the OPEN sign doing behind the bar? By village ordinance, it can't be placed in a front window, but it's reflection to passersby is OK.

Menu offerings at breakfast and lunch are the joint inspira-tion of Grundy and Chef Keith who learned to cook from his grandmother and mother.

After apprenticing in a num-ber of area restaurants and at a country club, Chef Keith began his private catering business.

Now his catering and Franklin Grill are a single enterpr ise . Because the restaurant is closed in the evening and on Sunday, it is available for private parties. Catered events outs ide the restaurant can also be arranged.

Every menu item is also avail-able for carry-out.

No. 1 at breakfast is Chefs Ultimate Omelette. Portobello mushrooms, onions, spinach, roasted red peppers and Canadi-an bacon are stuffed into a three-egg omelet filled with goat cheese and served with hash browns and toast. At $6.95, this is a tummy filler for the day.

Be creative If you want to be creative you

can also build your own omelet with six or more fillings from a list of suggested meats, vegeta-bles and cheeses. All omelets can also be made with your choice of egg whites or egg beaters.

Make an entire lunch from the appetizer section. Most favored to date is the Grilled Portobello Mushroom, mar ina ted and served over spinach leaves and topped with roasted red peppers and goat cheese.

Soup of the day may include Canadian cheese or Creamy Por-tobello Mushroom. A Crock of

Homestyle French Onion Soup and a salad will be more than satisfying at lunch. Actually, lunch salads are so large, they can be shared.

In addition to a variety of deli-style, sandwiches, two lunch entrees have risen to most-popu-lar status. Sesame Chicken is a boneless breast half dipped in a sesame batter, served with veg-

e tables and choice of potato., Chicken Piccata is a sauteed boneless b reas t with mushr; rooms, capers, artichoke hearts^; lemon and white wine, served'; with rice and vegetables.

A grand opening: Kathy and Kevin Renas have completed a spe-cialized renovation that included a bedroom addition (at left of door, above) and also widened the hallways so it would be easier to care for their children, Lydia and Nathan, who use wheelchairs. Kevin created a new walkway with stone pavers that allows acces-sibility to the front door,; eliminating the need for a wooden ramp.

Couple tackles specialized renovation for their children BY KEN ABRAMCZYK STAFF WRITER kabramczyk@oe.homecomm.ne t

Bk | ine years ago Kathy and Kevin Renas j % i moved to Farmington Hills because they 1 % wanted better schools for their children and they liked the sense of community.

But the 1,600 square-foot ranch home didn't suit their family's needs.

"The old homes don't really accommodate for wheelchairs," Kevin said.

Their two children, Lydia, 12, and Nathan, 14, sit in wheelchairs. Lydia, a student at Warner Middle School, has cerebral palsy, Nathan, 14, who is considered severely multi-ply impaired, attends Cloverdale Development Center in Farmington Hills.

Kevin and Kathy expanded their home to make it easier to care for Lydia and Nathan. "You just don't want obstacles in the way," said Kevin.

Accessible; The bathrooms enlarged shower area folding shower doors so Kathy and Kevin Renas can remain outside and dry when assisting their chil-dren during showers.

They did their research, and found that with a little persistence, and elbow grease, you can tackle a specialized renovation, and stay within a budget.

Getting started First they received three estimates from con-

tractors, ranging from $85,000 to $96,000. "We just didn't have that much to spend on

it," Kevin said. So in December 1998, Kevin and Kathy rolled

up their sleeves. They drew up plans, then vis-ited Farmington Hills architect Carl Gaiser. "He was very helpful," Kevin said. "He laid out the bathroom a little differently with a second door."

Kevin contracted the work to subcontractors and completed some of the work himself with assistance from co-workers and Kathy's father, Huston Prall, a retired Ford engineer. After notifying neighbors of his intentions, and

obtaining variances from the city to expand the home toward the street, Kevin went to work.

Renas removed a brick wall from the south side of the house, and two trees, poured a concrete foundation in front of the house, opened up the hall-ways, enlarged the bathrooms and added two new bedrooms.

Meanwhile, the family of four "relocated" within the house. Lydia's room was to become an accessible bathroom, so Lydia slept in the living room. Nathan remained in his old bedroom (today that's a computer/office room) and Kevin and Karen slept in the family room. The renovations presented some inconveniences. Nathan was sometimes bothered by project noise, Kathy said.

They expanded an adjacent hallway by moving the south wall. They widened several doorways from the standard 36 inches to 42 inches. Renas also installed four solid core doors, including three interior ones.

Easy and accessible The bathroom can be charac-

terized as a textbook example of how a bathroom can be creat-

Ulill Hi ! f ° r wheelchair-bound indi-lll l l l §111 viduals while keeping the addi-Wmm gill tional open space aesthetically l i K 1111 pleasing. i ' The sink has no cabinet 9 S E m UI1der it and is lower in height HSHc' M l than usual so Lydia can sit

close to wash or use a mirror. Drawers line the left side of the sink for convenience. (Lydia is left-handed).

Ceiling tracks in the bath-room allow the parents to lift

their children out of their wheelchairs. Prefab-ricated shower doors fold open on two different levels.

"We can open the top and leave the bottom closed so we don't get wet (during showers for the children)," said Kevin.

Of course, plumbing was required on the con-verted bedroom, a job that also was contracted out. Kevin installed "blocking" or 2-by-8 or 2-by-10 pieces cut to fit in between the studs.

"Walls always have 16 inches between studs, but when you want to put in grab bars, they don't come in a 16-inch length (for installation purposes)," Kevin said. That blocking was installed around the bathroom to allow them to place the grab bars m a n y location they want-ed.

Kevin tiled the bathroom himself using infor-mation from The Tile Shop in Farmington Hills.

Lydia and Nathan's new bedrooms on the south side of the street are designed for easy wheelchair access. Kevin and Kathy's bedroom sits just beyond the expanded bathroom. Nathan's new room is about 18 1/2 feet by 14 feet. That additional room helps the Renases and a nurse they hired to care for Nathan.

Added support Light switches were lowered, and

wall outlets raised during installation for Lydia's convenience.

Lydia's wheelchair weighs between 325 to 350 pounds. "I was concerned about the support of the floor," Kevin said. But he worked with the rough car-penter in doubling every other floor joist for added support.

The Renases purchased commercial grade nylon carpeting with no pad for Lydia's room, similar to what they had installed in the family room. "With a pad, my daughter's wheelchair would have torn it up bad," Kevin said.

They hired subcontractors to com-plete rough carpentry, electrical, plumb-ing, heating and roofing, concrete and drywall jobs. Kevin did some finish car-pentry himself, such as moldings and baseboards, along with the bathroom tile work and landscaping and pavers outside.

The finishing touches included tum-bled stone brick pavers laid by Kevin for a natural flowing wheelchair access - eliminating the need for a wooden ramp - to enter the front door.

The Renases experienced little frus-tration, Kevin said, which was "amaz-ing." He kept a list of projects, subcon-tractors and costs, checking them off as they were completed. "I was hoping to have a builder, so I wouldn't have the headaches," said Kevin. "But I didn't have a significant number of problems. I was astounded."

Kevin appreciates the help he received from Kathy's father and Tom Martin, a friend of Kevin's, who helped install the solid core doors.

When the Renases finished, the total cost was $62,000. Not a small chunk of change, but when compared to the bids, a significant savings.

"I knew some of the basics on how a house went together," Kevin said. "It was a lot of work and a lot of time but we saved a lot of money."

Many of the contractors were gracious and helpful, knowing that they were helping chil-dren with disabilities, Kevin said.

"We had to get a variance to be closer to the lot line, and the city was very good about that," said Kevin. Neighbors were notified, and Kevin put stakes in the yard to show them what they were doing. "The neighbors were terrific," Kevin said.

Life is a little easier for them with the wide open apace.

"It makes a big difference with the right lay-out," Kevin said. "(Lydia) likes the big room and her own space.

"For us, it makes the care incredibly easy."

Down the hall: Kathy Renas stands in the widened doorway of daughter Lydia's room adjacent to a hallway built wider than the standard 36 inches.

Budget Bathtub Liners Company offers solutions for tub troubles

When was the last time you did a fantastic job cleaning your bathroom, only to realize the tub still looked less than stellar?

If the finish on your bathtub is chipped, peel-ing, faded or permanently stained no amount of cleanser and scrubbing will do the job. The bathtub needs to be fixed.

Reglazing is an option, but only a temporary one. There's no guarantee the finish won't go bad again, and the reglazing process is difficult and involves many dangerous chemicals.

The bathtub could be replaced, but there is even more mess involved, not to mention the cost.

There is another solution, though, and Budget Bathtub Liners Co., with showrooms in Lincoln Park and Madison Heights, has the answer: a new bathtub liner or total complete system consisting of Bathtub Liner and Wall Surround system.

One of the hottest trends in bathroom remod-eling, bathtub liners and wall systems fit over not only existing bathtubs, but also ceramic waifs in your bathroom. That means less mess and less time between what your bathroom looks like now and a completely new appearance.

For a limited time only, bathtub liners are on sale from $389 installed. Complete systems, which include bathtub liner and wali surround, are on sale from $1295. That's about M> the cost of replacing an old tub and ceramic tiles.

Budget Bathtub Liner is able to offer the low prices, according to Dean Hartley, because of the large volume of business it does.

"We're the largest distributor of Acrylic Bathtub Liners and Wall Surround Systems in the country," Hartley said. "I'm proud of that."

When a homeowner places an order for a new liner, employees take 15 different measure-ments and several photographs of the existing bathtub. The measurements and photos are then sent to the company's factory, where a cus-

torn liner is made using one of 750 molds in stock.

In addition, seven colors and faux marbles fin-ishes are available along with a complete line of matching accessories which includes a full line of Delta and Kohler fixtures. These are options Hartley said many customers opt for even if their current fixtures are working fine.

"If you buy a new car, you wouldn't ask them to put used tires on it," he said.

All Bathtub Liners and Wall Surround Systems are made of DR/ABS Owens Corning High Impact Acrylic and carry a Lifetime Warranty. This is the same material football hel-mets are made from and the liners are about

all gardeners , novice or more experienced.

Lavender: The Grower's Guide, Virginia McNaughton (Timber Press , $29.95), includes more than 200 lavender species and cultivars.

McNaughton explains how to recognize the many plants in the genus as she describes each cul-tivar. Growing instructions and garden placement as well as the botanical history are featured. Photos and line drawings help with identification.

Tea-riffic Two small books from Storey

will delight tea lovers. Herbal Tea Gardens: 22 Plans

for Your Enjoyment and Well-being, Marietta Marshall Martin ($16.95), shares the beverage's history and directions for mak-ing a perfect cuppa.

Line d r a w i n g s accompany each of 93 h e r b s descr ibed; included are recipes for specific a i l m e n t s . Among t h e garden t i t les are "Arthritis Care" and "Aphrodisiac." A quick reference chart and list of resources are nice additions.

Tea With Friends, Elizabeth Knight ($14.95), is filled with delightful ideas for every month. Some are related to events with which we are familiar, such as St. Patrick's Day; others such as Hogmanay High Tea will need a little explaining.

Each tea has been carefully planned with clever invitations, centerpieces, music and special activity. The history of tea and descriptions of the various types, brewing t ime and serving sug-gestions are helpful.

Malcolm Hill ier h a s done it again with Flowers: The Book of Floral Design (DK, $40), which features more than 150 display ideas for all seasons tha t will keep m a n y f lower a r r a n g e r s inspired for years.

The first, Aroids: Plants of the Arum Family, Deni Brown ($34.95), is the updated version of h e r e a r l i e r book. She h a s brought the classification of the plants up to date, due to the dis-covery of many new species.

Did you know tha t skunk cab-bage, some orchids, calla lily and phi lodendron, voodoo lily and taro are all related? You'll learn about them as well as about the many other plants in the family, and how well t h e y reproduce (some by lur ing pollinators by their structure and scent). Most interesting.

The second, Mosses and Other Bryophytes, Bill and Nancy Mal-colm (published by Micro-Optics Press and distributed by Timber, $39.95), has fascinating magni-fied photos. They reveal amazing details and surprising beauty of t h e near ly 400 mosses , l iver-worts and hornworts.

Energy efficiencies may work against consumers APPLIANCE DOCTOR

JOE GAGNON

A f ew months ago, a new U.S. Depar tment

of E n e r g y m i n i m u m e n e r g y - e f f i -c iency s t an -d a r d fo r clothes wash-ers was final-ized, s e t t i n g new t a r g e t s

' f o r w a s h e r s manufactured after January 2004 , and

inc r ea s ed e f f i c i ency aga in for uni ts made after Jan. 1, 2007.

A coalition of environmental organizations, state and regional energy officials, wa she r manu-f a c t u r e r s and many consumer groups, supported the rule.

W a s h e r s m a n u f a c t u r e d to meet the 2004 s tandard will be 22 percent more ef f ic ient than today's baseline clothes washer. Un i t s t h a t mee t the 2007 requirements will be 35 percent more efficient.

• Never before have we had such an escala-tion in the price of a simple toilet.

about 6 months ago has come true. Yes, the government has finally taken their hands out of the toilet and put them into the wa s h i n g mach ine . They h a v e spent the i r e f f o r t s the se p a s t several years making sure that toilets use less water . You can ask millions of Americans what they th ink of the i r new toi let today. Never before in the histo-r y of mank i n d h a s the po t ty been the focus of so many dinner conversations. That won't stop until the new mandate on water consumption is reversed.

Never b e f o r e h a v e we h a d such an escalation in the price of a simple toilet. They j u s t keep going up and up. I wonder what is next on the agenda that might boost the price of a normal prod-uct. We could end up seeing a new l aw t h a t r e q u i r e s e v e r y home owner to build a new out-house.

new r e qu i r emen t s i t is hoped consumers will save energy and water but one day washers wil l probably cost you so much more than what you pay for one today. The young couple getting started in life today can spend as litt le a s $ 269 f o r a w a s h e r . T h a t washer will be removed from the marke t a l together . Tomorrow's unit might be priced at a "low" price of $600, but use less ener-gy. I j u s t can't f igure all this out un l e s s the manu f a c t u r e r s a r e j u m p i n g w i t h j o y over t h e s e upcoming increased prices.

You could say tha t appliance m a n u f a c t u r e r s a r e go ing to make a real kill ing on all of this energy efficiency. Weren't they a part of the coalition group tha t pushed the U.S. Energy Depart-ment to mandate this new stan-dard?

Price gouging? I j u s t recently read an article

in Business Week magazine that May t a g pr i ced the i r Nep tune front load washer at $800 when it was f i rs t introduced and then w i th in a f ew day s changed to $1,000 the purchase price. The Reason stated by the then chief operat ing officer wa s that con-sumers would pay extra to save energy. That may ve ry wel l be

true, but what about the subject of gouging? I bel ieve tha t wa s the case and will be again when these new washe r s are created with all their little tricks.

I am going to live to be an old man be fo re you can make me believe that a washer using less water does a better job than the one I have in my basement. They h a v e w a s h i n g mach i n e s out the re today wi thout ag i t a to r s and they tell me they out-clean what I have.

F i r s t of all, le t me g i ve you some old-fashioned facts. Except for those people who work in cer-tain f ie lds, the major i ty of my clothes and yours are not dirty to begin with. What, sweat that is in our clothes is not consid-ered d i r t , i t ' s moi s tu re . I can wa s h t h a t out by s w i s h i n g a shi r t near the shore of a lake. But if a manufacturer can make you bel ieve that the i r product out-washes another, you will buy it.

Look at Fr ig idai re ' s up-and-down agi tator of 30 yea r s ago. They bo a s t e d of i t s c l e an in g action that was so much better than anyone else's and yes, they sold millions. If it was so good, why didn't anyone else copy it when it went out of production?

CREATIVE LIVING

Take on a new attitude when you decide to take photographs FOCUS ON PHOTOGRAPHY

MONTE NAGLER

We all know tha t a cham-pion a th le t e has to mental-ly p repare himself for the challenge of what will, it is hoped, be a peak perfor-mance.

In photogra-phy, th is same theory appl ies . We have to emo-tionally pre-

pare ourselves, too. And a large part of this is getting into the state of mind that you are no longer going to be taking snap-shots; rather, from now on you will be making photographs.

Here's how you can go about making this shift and developing a new attitude about your pho-tography.

First, slow down. Don't rush into snapping your shu t t e r . Leave your camera in its case as you begin to study your subject.

Ask yourself how best you can portray the subject. Should you move in tight or keep your dis-tance? Is one camera angle bet-ter than another? Is early morn-ing or late afternoon light better to enhance your image? Perhaps a greater focal length lens will add greater impact.

Are you beginning to see what is happening? You are starting to go th rough a conscious, planned-out thought process to produce a photograph that says it all about the subject. You see, you're s ta r t ing to make pho-tographs, not take snapshots.

Let's go further . Use all the depth-of-field available to you.

Did you know that your nor-mal 50mm lens will give you a depth-of-field of 7 feet to infini-ty? So next time you're shooting scenery, take advantage of this.

R a t h e r t h a n snap jus t the mountain in the distance, care-fully study the scene for fore-ground objects, such as that pile of boulders t h a t will give a "foundation" to your composition or those tree branches that act

as a perfect "frame." How about the stream or fence that "leads" you into the scene? These tech-niques will shif t you into the "making photographs" mode.

You'll often want to place the subject off-center to add a dynamic dimension to your pho-tograph. Consider the use of fil-ters to enhance a blue sky, add some color to a dramatic sunset or add a "starburst" of excite-ment.

Once again, the planned out, well-executed thought process is at work — you are making pho-tographs, not taking snapshots. See how it works?

Remember, also, that you are an art is t creating a beaut i fu l image. "See" with your feelings and emotions and keep in mind that it is you making the pho-tographs, not the camera.

Monte Nagler is a fine art pho-tographer based in Farmington Hills. You can leave him a mes-sage by dialing (734) 953-2047 on a touch-tone phone. His fax number is (248) 644-1314.

Dramatic composition: Monte Nagler had "making a photograph" in mind in this image from Telford, England. Careful composition and the right time of day pro-duced a photograph full of impact and drama.

STEPHANIE ANGELYN CASOLA

Survivors, supporters focus on cure Celebrating a decade-long commit-

ment to breast cancer research, The Race for The Cure didn ' t slow down "this year, despite t he gloomy gray skies and intermittent rain that loomed above.

The unpredictable Michigan weath-er wouldn't dampen the mood of the more than 28,000 part icipants tha t flooded the area surrounding Comeri-ca Park in downtown Detroit on April 21. As one of that massive group, I've never been surrounded by such emo-tion and positive energy. This was my second year in the race and I left feel-ing even more touched by the out-come.

Growing strong The 5K race/walk usually held a t

the Detroit Zoo in Royal Oak found a new h o m e t h i s yea r , o f f e r i n g an opportunity for runners to make their way up Woodward Avenue and back, around the new baseball stadium. "I t h i n k i t w e n t r ea l ly wel l ," sa id Martha Button, spokesperson for the event. "We outgrew the Zoo. Last year at the Zoo, it was really congested. They just didn't have enough room."

Much has changed in the past 10 years since the Ba rba ra Ann Kar-manos Cancer Institute has served as local sponsor for the event. For one thing, the number of participants has grown exponentially. "The first year they expected a few h u n d r e d and 3,500 showed up," said Button. "To go from 3,500 to 28,000 is pretty good."

Seventy-five percent of the proceeds are donated locally for cancer screen-ing, educa t iona l p r o g r a m s and to assis t women with low incomes in obtaining addit ional t es t s a f te r an abnormal mammogram. The remain-ing 25 percent of the funds are donat-ed to The Susan G. Komen Breas t Cancer Foundation to fund national research, education, screenings and treatment.

Accord ing to K a r m a n o s Cance r Institute information, last year more than 6,300 women in Michigan were diagnosed with breast cancer.

Hometown help Plymouth res ident Shar i Franko

and her team, Salon Connection, are likely to be the largest contributors to this year 's total, expected to reach about $1 million.

In 1997, she gathered organized a group to attend the Race for the Cure. Her team, Salon Connection, turned out to be the fourth largest at the race t h a t y e a r . By 2001, t h e y h a v e changed the focus to rais ing money for the Friends of the Cure.

Calling it "50 for the Cure," Salon Connection focused on finding 50 peo-ple to each raise $500 for the Race. The team exceeded its own expecta-tions by bringing in $30,000 so far, and the deadline is May 15.

Beaching out Franko is also a breast cancer sur-

vivor. This year marked something special for the team. "This was our f i f t h y e a r and i t ' s a spec ia l yea r because it was my fifth year of being cancer free," she said.

Franko was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1996 after she discovered a lump dur ing a self-examination. "I was 35 at the time and had no family history. I led a very heal thy life. It came as a very big surprise."

Franko found comfort in education. By learning about breast cancer, she was better able to discuss care with her physicians.

"I was very positive right from the beginning," she said . She 's main-tained that healthy attitude and has had the opportuni ty to spread her message about early detection on a very personal level. As the owner of Variations Salon in Dearborn, Franko reaches out to women each day with her message.

Like the thousands donning pink hats who raced, jogged and walked the COPA course, Franko is an inspi-ration to others. "It was exciting and emotional, in a good way," she said. "I was happy to be there. It was a great new location."

Do you ever realize that when you awake each morning, God has given you another wonderful day to rejoice and celebrate the gift of life? Rather than thinking about all the things we want to get done, spending a moment "counting our blessings" before we face the day might help us be more mindful of how good God has been to us! We all have an occasional tendency to be overly concerned about inconsequential things instead of focusing on what is really important in our lives and each new day gives us the opportunity to change that.

For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations. R . S . V . P s a l m 1 0 0 : 5

Hard to beat: Erie goalie J.F. Perras (above) gave up an early goal to Chad Wiseman, but after that he continually frustrated the Whalers, often stop-ping scoring chances with the puck in the crease. Per-ras' efforts were certainly the difference in the game, although there were plenty of hard hits applied by both sides, as indicated by the Whalers George Nistas (10, at right) and the Otters' Scott Dobben.

This wasn't the way it was supposed to be. Hey, Plymouth Canton had nearly everyone back

from a soccer team that reached the state champi-onship game last year. It only figured the Chiefs would be hungrier than ever this season, after com-ing so close—isn't tha t right?

To say things aren't going exactly as hoped would be an understatement. On Monday, Canton lost its second-straight game, 3-1 at Northville.

That makes the Chiefs 2-2-1 on the season (they

PREP SOCCER lost to Livonia Stevenson and tied Birmingham Seaholm), but more importantly they are 0-1 in the Western Lakes Activities Association's 'Western Division.

"I don't know (what the problem is)," said Canton coach Don Smith. "We're going to have to change some things around.

"We started out well against (Northville). We had them ducking and oil their heels defensively. But then they scored and got the momentum."

Kara Marsh gave Canton a 1-0 lead, early in the match, with an assist from Anne Morreil. But the Mustangs retaliated with two first-half goals, then clinched i t with a third marker with about eight .minutes left.

Lindsey Dunmead paced Northville with, a goal and an assist. Larisa Fill and Lindsay Miglio also scored goals, wi th ass is t s goign to Emily Cabott and Maggie Ossola.

All four goals scored in the match came off mis-handled balls by the keepers, which resul ted in rebound opportunities for the opposition. Briana

Neino's 1-hitter keeps Chiefs perfect in WLAA; Rocks stall

Greg Neino improved his personal record to 3-1 and was instrumental in improving the record of Plymouth Canton's baseball team to 7-3 with his one-hit pitching per-formance in the Chiefs' 12-2 victory Mon-day at Canton.

The mercy-rule game, stopped after 4 1/2 innings, made the Chiefs 2-0 in the West-ern Lakes Activities Association. Churchill is 4-5 overall, 0-2 in the WLAA.

Canton scored twice in the first inning, then added six runs in the second. Every-one in the lineup got a hit as the Chiefs collected 10 of them.

Nick Musselman was the only one with two hits; he also had a run batted in. Jay Sofen had one hit, scored two runs and drove in three, while Brent Kwiatkowski had a hit and three runs scored. Russ Caid

also had a hit and three RBI, Oliver Wol-cott had a double and two RBI, Jon Loos had one hit and scored twice, and Mark H a n s o n , Mike T o m a s a i t i s and B r i a n Rossow each had a hit and an RBI.

Although Neino allowed just one hit, he walked five and hit two batters. Only one of the r u n s he gave up was earned; he struck out seven.

Less than a minute remained and there was James Wisniewski, lying in his own crease, at tha t particular moment in time feeling very, very alone.

Wisniewski, a junior at Plymouth Canton HS and a first-year defenseman with the Ply-mou th Wha le r s , had misp layed t h e puck whi l e t r y i n g to c lear i t a w a y f rom t h e W h a l e r s ' u n g u a r d e d ne t . Wi th P lymouth-goalie Rob Zepp already pulled for an extra at tacker , Wisniewski retrieved the puck in t he crease bu t mishi t i t . The Erie Ot ters ' Brandon Cullen pounced and knocked it into the empty net.

In t ru th , the goal meant next to nothing. Instead of losing by two, the Whalers lost by three, falling 4-1 on Tuesday to the team that recorded the best regular-season record in the Ontario Hockey League.

W h a t t h e loss did m e a n w a s t h i s : The Whalers would not waltz through the playoffs undefeated — not that they ever expected to r

but going into Tuesday's game they had won nine straight — and very little of what could commonly be expected would occur in th is series.

Example No. 1: Home-ice advantage. "I'm not sure there is a home-ice advan-

tage," Ot ters ' coach Dave MacQueen said, then added, "Once you get to th is point, it doesn't mean a whole lot."

But when these teams meet, it never means much. Although the Otters were the OHL's best team this season, Plymouth had a 3-2-1 record aga ins t them. In fact , the Whalers were unbeaten against Erie in Erie (2-0-1).

By the same token, t he Ot t e r s were 2-1 against the Whalers at Compuware Arena.

That was during the regular season, but the f irst two games of the Western Conference f inals haven ' t a l tered anyth ing . Plymouth blanked Erie 3-0 in Saturday's opening game, in Erie. And the Otters won by three goals over the Whalers Tuesday at Compuware.

Example No. 2: The power play. A team like Erie, with a 40-goal scorer (Joe Guenther), two with more than 30 (Brad Boyes, 36, and Cory Pecker, 33) and two more with more than 20 (Jason Baird, 26, and Nikita Alexeev, 24) figures to have a potent power play.

But only one goal has been scored in two games when the Otters have had the extra player — and tha t was by Plymouth's Tomas Kurka. Erie is 0-for-l l thus far in this series (at l-for-9, Plymouth isn't much better).

"I thought we got some pretty good chances on our power plays," said MacQueen. "It's eventually going to come."

What's going to come in this series is any-body's guess. It 's a best-of-five-games show-down now, with Game Three tonight in Erie. The Whalers host Game Four a t 7:30 p.m. Saturday, with a return trip to Erie for Game Five at 7:30 p.m. Sunday.

Plymouth did wha t they wanted to once again Tuesday, striking early with .a power-

Churchill's Misiak no-hits the Chiefs BY BRAD EMON8 S P O R T S W R I T E R

bemons@oe.homecomm.net

Plymouth Can ton so f tba l l coach J im Arnold couldn ' t remember the last time his team was no-hit.

"It's been a long time," said Canton assistant Larry Bober.

But on Monday, Livonia Churchi l l ' s Meghan Mis iak refreshed their memory.

The junior hur ler , throwing under windy conditions, came up with an 11-strikeout gem, allow-ing just one ball to reach the out-field as the Chargers <fbwned Canton, 4-1, in an early season Western Division showdown in the Western Lakes Activi t ies Association.

Churchill is now 6-0 overall and 2-0 in the division, while Canton, the defending division champion, dropped to 2-2-1 and 1-1.

Misiak allowed just three Can-ton bat ters to reach base, two coming on walks and the other on a strikeout coming off a wild pitch.

Churchi l l second b a s e m a n Sarah Carter , who was also a hitting hero, snagged a line drive off the bat of Canton shortstop Danielle Webber to preserve the no-hitter.

Carter had a two-run single in t he second inn ing to s t a k e Churchill to a 2-0 lead. She then scored from third on a Canton infield error.

In the bottom of the four th , Carter came back with a double and scored on J e n n y Long 's groundout to make it 4-1.

The Chargers had a total of seven hits off Canton sophomore hurler Michelle Roelofs, who was making her varsity debut.

"I'm proud of how we hit the ball, especially in the middle of the order," Churchill coach Dana Hardwidge said. "We had a lot of people contribute. That 's going to be the key to our season.

"Today S a r a h (Car t e r ) h a d some big hits. Last year she was a courtesy r u n n e r for us, bu t worked hard dur ing the sum-mer."

Misiak and right fielder Ash-ley Crawley also collected a pair of hits for the Chargers

Canton scored its only run in the top of the fourth when Pam Hudson drew a walk, went to second on wild pitch and scored all the way f rom second on a fielders choice by Weber.

"Our game plan was to do a lot of b u n t i n g , s l app ing and be aggressive on the basepaths — like we did when when scored t h a t r u n f rom second on t h e bunt," Arnold said. "It's unfortu-nate, but we didn't get a lot of runners on base to make things happen.

Credit Misiak's pi tching for keeping the Chiefs off balance.

"She (Misiak) keeps it low and it works, then she goes high on the ba t te r s and t h a t makes it tough," Arnold said.

Canton was somewhat short-h a n d e d , p l ay ing w i thou t i t s start ing outfield, shortstop and pitcher.

"We had some seniors who left for Easter break and the girls that stayed and practiced played today," Arnold said. "We brought up a couple of JV players and I t hough t our p i tcher (Roelofs) didn't do a bad job at all.

Roelofs s truck out four, fan-n ing Church i l l h a r d - h i t t i n g catcher Sheila Gillies twice. She hit one batter.

The Chargers made jus t one error.

"We were well p repared for w h a t they were going to do," Hardwidge said. "We knew they had a lot of team speed. We did-n't want to buy into their aggres-sive lead-offs. We tightened up our infield and for the most part we played pretty good defense."

The early win over the Chiefs p u t s Church i l l in posi t ion to challenge for the Western Divi-sion title.

"Any time you beat a time like Canton, it's a plus because you know they're going to be well-coached, well-disciplined and have heads-up players. They've won several division titles."

Rocks get a split with River Rats

BRIGHTON, CANTON, LIVONIA STORES OPEN DAILY 10A1V1-8:30P1V1 • BRIGHTON & UVONIA STORES OPEN SUNDAY 1 2 P M - 5 P M

The wait was worth it for Ply-mouth Salem's softball team.

Salem worked 12 i n n i n g s Tuesday to de f ea t host A n n Arbor Huron, 4-2, in the second game of a doubleheader after the River Rats blanked the Rocks, 2-0, in the opener.

Salem scored two in the second to grab a brief lead in the second game. Dawn Allen doubled, Rachel Heide singled her home, Mandy Bradley s ingled a n d Janesse Chapman followed with an RBI single.

Huron tied the score with sin-gle runs in the second and third and the game remained that way until the 12th.

Dawn Allen star ted the win-ning rally with a walk, Jen Allen advance her with a groundout, Maggie Tudor followed with an RBI double and Rachel Heide made it 4-2 with an RBI single.

Kristen Miller went the dis-tance to earn the win for t he Rocks. She gave up five h i t s , walked four and struck out four.

Heide went 4-for-6 in the game while Bradley w e n t 3-for-6. Chapman and Jen Allen had two hits each. Dawn Allen had a dou-ble as Salem pounded out 14 hits.

"We played another nice defen-sive game," Coach Bonnie Southerland said. "I thought we hit well, too.

"The girls came along at the end of the game and didn't give up. That's why we got a win."

They didn't get a win in the opener because they didn't have many baserunners and they did-n't get a clutch hit.

Liz Bergs t rom baf f led t h e Rocks with a 12-strikeout, four-hit performance.

Jaskot had two singles, Kelly doubled and Chapman singled to account for all the Salem hits.

Jill Posler took the loss. "But she pitched a good game,"

Sou the r l and sa id . "She only

allowed five h i t s , didn ' t wa lk anybody and struck out one."

The River Rats picked up their runs in the third. Val Giysson's RBI single got one in and the other scored on a fielder's choice.

The split left Salem with a 3-1 record.

Miller p i tched a f ive -h i t t e r Monday for Salem's first victory of the season. The host Rocks defeated Livonia Stevenson, 6-1.

Salem was lef t at 1-1 in the Western Lakes Activities Associ-a t ion whi le S t e v e n s o n (2-2) dropped to 0-2 in league play.

Bradley had a triple and single to lead the Rocks, while Chap-man contributed a two-run sin-gle. Allen also collected two hits.

Canton took the lead with a f i rs t- inning run , Allen gett ing Katie Kelly in with an RBI sin-gle.

The Chiefs made it 3-0 in the th i rd on an Allen sacrifice fly t h a t scored Kelly again. Kelly Jasko t singled and eventually scored on Jen Allen's RBI single.

Brad ley in t h e f o u r t h and scored on a safety squeeze by Amandie Bilkie.

Canton tacked on two more in the sixth. Chapman singled to score Amy Szawara and Bradley.

"Defensively, they played real-ly well ," S o u t h e r l a n d sa id . "Miller p i tched a rea l ly good game."

Stevenson's only run came in t he s ixth inn ing when Nicole Dwojak singled, stoled second base and scored on Emily Camp-bell's single.

Soccer from page D1

Wolcott was in goal for t h e Chiefs.

"We didn't quit," said Smith. "The girls played hard down to the last second. But Northville was fired up.

"We're not going to give up. It is (frustrating). But when you do this for a while, sometimes you can see something like this com-ing, but you don't know how to stop it."

Overconf idence? Could be. Whatever t h e problem is, the Chiefs better come to grips with it quickly. On Sa turday , they have a non-league game at home — a g a i n s t d e f e n d i n g s t a t e champ Troy Athens, and on the same field the two teams met in the state final.

Saiem 6, Fa rm ing ton 0: P l y -mouth Salem opened its WLAA

Lakes Division season the same way it played four of its previous five opponents — by shutting out its opponent.

In th i s ins tance , it was the Farmington Falcons tha t were on the low end of the score. Six different players scored for the Rocks, who led by just 1-0 at the half.

Salem improves to 4-1 overall, 2-0 in the WLAA and 1-0 in the

WLAA's Lakes Division. M a r i s s a S a r k e s i a n and

Danielle Portelli each had a goal and an a s s i s t for t h e Rocks. Stephanie Baron, Janae Bucks, S h a r a H u g g i n s and Kel lee Mullin added a goal apiece. Sara Schupra also had an assist.

For keeper Jil l Dombrowski, the shutout was her fourth of the season.

Bat power carries Madonna to a sweep Madonna University's softball

CHARTER TOWNSHIP O F CANTON BOARD P R O C E E D I N G S - APRIL 17,2001

A regular study session of the Board of Trustees of the Charter Township of Canton held Tuesday, April 17,2001. Supervisor Yack at 7:00 p.m. called the meeting to order.

Members Present: Bennett, Burdziak, Kirchgatter, LaJoy, McLaughlin, Shefferly, Yack

Members Absent: None Staff Present: Director Durack, Kathleen Salla, Nancy Fogarty, David

• Medley Adoption of Agenda Motion by Bennett , supported by Shefferly to adopt the agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

Kathleen Salla and Donna Wegryn (Michigan Economic Development Corporation) explained tha t recent legislation amended Public Act 198 - Industrial Property Tax Abatement Law to allow abatement for high technology companies. The definition of "industrial property" eligible for tax abatement consideration has been expanded to include high-technology activity as defined in the MEGA Act:

Advanced Computing, Advanced Materials, Biotechnology, Electronic Device Technology, Engineer or Laboratory Testing, Medical Device Technology, Product Research and Development, Advanced Vehicles Technology

The change in P.A. 198 is a part of the State's endeavors to diversify the industrial base. At the current time, the Tax Abatement Guidelines for the Charter Township of Canton only address manufacturing. In December 2000, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation reported that Michigan is ranked n in th as a start-up s ta te for Information Technology (IT) companies. Also, the MEDC is implementing an extensive advertising campaign with emphasis on marketing the State for new business and workers, especially in the field of information technology. In light of the this information, the Township Board may wish to review the Tax Abatement Guidelines, discuss its philosophy on tax abatements, and consider whether or not any revisions to the Guidelines are appropriate at this time. Canton Township is currently one of the few communities tha t only grants tax abatements on new facilities and on expansions. Supervisor Yack stated tha t the Board of Trustees will compose a draft for the tax abatement policy tha t could then be reviewed before final approval is given. A policy could then be considered to include the high-tech/bio-tech and on existing builders. Other Discussions Other discussions were regarding the following: • A letter received in the Supervisor's office from Greg Pappas that

included a copy of a document obtained under the Freedom of Information Act concerning Mettetal Airport.

• A letter received from Nancy Spencer concerning the policy of collecting funds from Canton Township streets for charitable organizations.

• Director Durack, along with Craig Pickard (Merit Commission) explained tha t thirty-four (34) requests for proposals to perform a Classification and Compensation Study for the Non-Union employee group were sent with ten (10) received. Of those received, the four (4) companies to be interviewed are: Plante Moran; Fox Lawson & Associates; Organizational Improvement Systems, Inc.; and Management Resource Center, Inc.

The above are items which will require board approval a t a future meeting. Adjourn Motion by Bennett, supported by LaJoy at 9:35 p.m. to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. The above is a synopsis of the regular study session of the Board of Trustees of the Charter Township of Canton. The full text of the approved minutes will be available following the next regular board meeting of April 24,2001.

Crusaders get a split with Tech A four- run s ixth inn ing

enabled Madonna University's baseball team to pull out a 6-3 victory in the opening game of its Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference double-header against Indiana Tech Sunday at Madonna Park.

But the Crusaders had no such

magic in the second game, suf-fering an 11-5 defeat. The split left Madonna at 11-22 overall, 8-12 in the WHAC; Tech is 29-16 overall, 16-4 in the WHAC.

play goal from Chad Wiseman at 5:47 of the opening period. Stephen Weiss set up the play, getting the puck from Kurka and skating into position to the left ?f Erie goalie J.F. Perras. Weiss couldn't score, but Wiseman buried the rebound.

That lead lasted less than half-a-minute. Guenther tied it at 1-1 27> seconds later, scoring on what appeared to be a Zepp misplay. Brad Yeo assisted.

*We lost some momentum after their first goal," admitted Plymouth coach Pete DeBoer. "This is a game of momentum. When you have two qual i ty teams like this, you don't want to get down two goals."

With 3:33 of the second period elapsed, the Otters took the lead for good, Yeo knocking home a loose puck that several Whalers failed to clear. Assists went to Guenther and Pecker.

Brad Boyes made it 3-1 at 7:01 of the second period, carrying the puck into the Whaler end on a 2-on-l break. With Plymouth's defenders charging back to get into the play, Boyes opted to shoot instead of pass, and he beat Zepp. Baird and Carlo Cola-iacovo assisted.

After that, it was the Whalers scrambling to get something going, but unable to do so. They were either a step behind the Ot ters , or the i r passes were slightly off-target, or they just couldn't quite finish the play against Perras.

"You've got to give their goalie credit, he made a lot of good saves," said DeBoer. "When their goalie is the No. 1 star in the game, you know you're in for a long night."

It was a good night for the Otters, who knew it was a must-win situation. "We had a couple of meetings with our guys (after Sa turday ' s debacle) and told them if we're going to compete with these guys, we can't stand around and just watch," Mac-Queen said.

"We've got guys in that room who are better hockey players than they showed. They took it upon themselves."

Now it's the Whalers turn to do the same.

Good start The first game of the OHL's

Western Conference finals was expected to set a tone for the remainder of the series. If that's the case, then Plymouth got the

The Whalers got a goal in each period and solid goal tending throughout from Rob Zepp, who turned away 21 shots to record the win, his first shutout of the playoffs.

Damian Surma got Plymouth started early with an unassisted goal 3:07 into the game. At 3:42 of the second, defenseman Cole J a r r e t t powered a shot pas t Otter goalie Adam Munro to make it 2-0. Chad LaRose assist-ed.

be — from the third inning on. The S p a r t a n s blanked Ply-

mouth Salem over the final five innings Monday and came back from a 5-1 deficit to post a 7-5 WLAA-Lakes Division win.

Stevenson (5-1, 2-0) got a three-run home run from win-ning pitcher Gary Zielke in the fourth-run third inning to tie the score and added the winning runs in the next inning.

Dan Wilson nailed down the victory with a scoreless seventh a f te r Zielke s t ruck out seven Rocks and walked four over the first six. The two combined on a four hitter.

Both teams committed three errors but only one of visiting Salem's runs was earned.

Chris Trott went 2-for-4 with a double for Salem (2-4, 0-2), whose Kevin O'Bierne took the loss.

Brian Campbell went 2-for-3 with an RBI for Stevenson, as did Bill Marsack. Stevenson had a 10-hit attack.

CC 5-6, DeLaSalle 6-0: To say Sunday's De La Salle-Catholic Centra l doubleheader was a pitchers duel would be an under-statement.

The Pilots and Shamrocks split their twinbill - with De La Salle taking the opener, 6-5 and CC coming back in the nightcap for a 6-0 win - with the winning pitchers in the two games com-bined for 33 strikeouts.

"We needed to get the split to keep pace with U-D Jesuit," said CC coach John Salter. "There was good pitching on both sides."

In the opener, the Pilots' Mike Moljewski gave up five hits and walked seven, but struck out 18 to earn a 6-5 win. Even with his pi tching, the Pi lots had to scratch for a run in the bottom of the seventh to win.

After trailing 5-1 though four innings, CC (8-3, 4-2 Centra l Division) got a run back in the fifth on a bases-loaded walk by Anthony Coratti, then two more in the s ixth when Char l ie

Haeger doubled home Dave Tovey and Kyle Crapeau.

Mike Wadowski led off the sev-enth with a solo homer to tie the game at 5-5, but Moljewski then struck out the side and the Pilots (4-2 Central) used a single, a walk and two wild pitches to win. the game.

Haeger (4-0) was the strikeout king in Game Two as he fanned 15 batters and gave up just four hi ts and three walks for a 6-0 win.

"Charlie was really dominant in the second game," said Salter. "He mixed his pitches up real well."

CC led 2-0 through six, but kicked in for four runs in the seventh to ice the win. Mike Wadowski had sacrifice flies in the f i r s t and f i f th innings to score Crepeau and Kevin Entsminger, respectively. Phil Marrone was 2-for-2 in the game wi th a walk and a sacrifice, while Crepeau also had two hits.

The dock may be yours

REAL ESTATE QUERIES

ROBERT M. MEISNER

We bought prop* erty on a lake where there is a dock we've used for years. Other people have also used this area of the property.

Our next-door neighbor claims we have not had exclusive use of that property, which, I under-stand, is one of the requirements for

adverse possession. For adverse possession to be

obtained, that is, the right of a person to acquire title to a property even though it didn't achieve a deed to it, a person must show possession that is actual, visible, open, notorious, exclu-sive, hostile, under cover of claim of rights, and continuous and uninter-rupted for a 15-year statutory period.

The Michigan Court said "exclusiv-ity," had not been defined in previous decisions.

The court in citing a previous deci-sion of the Supreme Court of Michi-gan and an out-of-state case recog-nized that the "exclusivity," required for adverse possession doesn't extend so far that a someone claiming adverse possession must be the only one to have used the land for the 15-year statutory period.

If you have, by way of example, cleared the land of underbrush and used the dock on the property, even though other people use the dock, you may still be able to establish adverse possession if the other facts required for adverse possession fall into place.

You should, of course, consult a real estate lawyer to examine the particu-lar facts of your case.

It takes a heap o' cash

to make a house a home

B Y D O U G F U N K E STAFF WRITER dfuake@oe.homecomm.net

Buyers face a host of ongoing expens-es besides the monthly mortgage pay-ment when acquiring a home.

Consider property taxes to support municipal and educational services and homeowners insurance to repair dam-ages from weather, fire or vandalism.

Then there's operational expenses -electricity, gas and water. Those bills depend on specific use, vary widely in scope and usually arrive monthly, every other month or quarterly.

You have telephone, cable TV and Internet access fees which, while not essential, usually are considered indis-pensable in this day and age.

Condominium owners pay a monthly association/ maintenance fee that can run a couple hundred dollars depend-ing on the services offered.

Buyers of homes in brand new devel-opments often pay an annual associa-tion fee of several hundred dollars to maintain and beautify entrances and common areas.

F i r s t - t ime buyers coming out of apartments often need a refrigerator,

MORTGAGE BITS

range, microwave, washer, dryer and lawnmower for their new castles.

Parts periodically require replace-ment. Roofs, water heaters, carpeting and appliances don't last forever.

In spite of all this, millions of people choose to own homes, and Realtors tout the advantages of ownership.

"It 's the largest tax wri te off we have," said Lynn Baker, an associate broker with Hall & Hunter in Birming-ham. "For individuals, it's the largest i nves tmen t they ' re going to have unless they own a business."

Home buyers can glean information on costs from a variety of sources.

"We try to keep them informed about all real estate costs - mortgage, proper-ty taxes and insurance - so they're not surpr ised in tha t area," said Carol Mountain, an associate broker with Century 21 Hallmark West in Water-ford.

"A lot of these questions come up in home inspections that 99 to 100 per-cent of people have. They kind of learn about their house," she added.

Also, many tenants-turned-owners are aware of utility costs through the renting experience, Mountain said.

Jack and Virginia Tornga of Ply-

mouth recently moved into their fourth house since 1954.

"I t h ink it 's t h e one of the best investments a person can make," Jack said. "Pride of ownership, I guess, goes with that scenario."

Tornga said he doesn't think first-time buyers give much thought to all t he expenses associated with home ownership because ownership has become so ingrained.

"The mindset of people today is my folks had a house, I'm going to have a house, too. They had a house. I'm going to have a bigger house."

Bryan Rizzo, a single, bought his first house in Livonia last September. Pre-viously, he lived with his parents.

"I think it's a good investment," he said. "I never wanted to rent. I see it as throwing money away and not get-ting something out of it."

Surprises? "I was a little stunned when I got my

first heating bill," Rizzo said. He also had to repa i r some minor damage caused by ice damming last winter.

"It's nice to be on your own," Rizzo said. "I'm happy I made the decision. But it is a lot of work."

Loans can be too good to be true

A very frustrated ; * home buyer recently . 2 phoned me because -her loan officer would not get her the mort-gage he had promised. Almost crying, the bor-rower explained that ... she was supposed to get a no-cost, no-point, no-fee mortgage at an interest rate about 1/2-percent better than I , had seen in months. ;

I silently thought, "If something sounds too ;~

good to be true, it probably is not true?K" Every mortgage has expenses that ?

must be covered. Lenders will not >> commit money unless they know all about the subject property and the prospective borrower. Appraisals, sur-veys, credit reports and title searches are customary.

Borrowers also usually incur pro-cessing or underwriting fees, a closing fee, a document preparation charge, and a filing fee to make the transac-tion accurate and legally binding. ;

Lenders may refer to these costs by other names, but these expenses are real and they must be paid.

- Since it is the buyer - not the seller or the lender - who requires a mort-„ .; gage, the loan's costs belong to the b o r -rower. -!

If a lender tells you that you have a t "no-cost" loan, you need to figure out ^ ~ who is paying your loan's costs. ~; -

Just as a magician shuffles a marble under three cups, lenders can manipu-late how a borrower pays for a mort-gage's costs. Borrowers normally cover their mortgage costs with cash from their pockets, with money from the seller, out of equity in their current home, by paying a higher interest rate, or by some combination of these.

In the above scenario, the loan offi-cer made a promise he could have never delivered. He quoted this client a wholesale interest rate, then offered to cover her mortgage costs, too. •;

The loan was not possible under • 1; those terms and market conditions. It; -was no surprise (to me anyway) that > -her loan officer let her loan die. His -: only course was to pay a thousand dol-lars for the opportunity to work for free.

Does that make sense in any busi-ness?
