SQUEEZE THE DAY

again, Mom, Dad-I-Am’I love children’s books From the

timeless G o o d n ig h t M o o n picture book to the now classic H a r r y P o t

te r a n d th e S o rc e re r s S to n e It all begins with sing-song repeti

tion and bright, colorful illustrations to inspire awestruck toddlers to develop a lifelong love o f reading

“Brown Bear, brown bear, what do you see9 1 see a red bird looking at me

99

My 2-year-old daughter is not old enough to read, but every night after story time she lays m bed turning the pages of books m the quiet shadows of the night light

While I tell her she can look at one book before she goes to sleep, it s not unusual to find a dozen picture books piled on top of her when I check on her 30 minutes later

“In an old house m P an s that was covered with vines lived 12 little girls in two straight lines ”

I remember being so addicted to books m grade school that I would have reading “races” w ith my neighbor Jimmy

We’d bet on who could read a book from cover to cover the fastest, or how many books we could read m a week I read books at night under the cov ers, and for a long time, I walked home from school w ith m y nose in a book

R e a d t o y o u r k i d sA passion for reading - and for

learning - begins when parents read to their kids even as they grow older And so m honor of National Reading Month, and with apologies to Dr Seuss

Books are a bother, books are a bore I don t w ant to look at them any

moreI do not like them, Mom and Dad-I

AmI do not like books, I m m a real

jam

W hat9 You do not like to read, you say9

Sit next to me, I'll read to you anyway

You might be surprised, your love for books may grow

When I take the time to show you what I know

Books can take you anywhere you want to go

Give them a chance, ju st don't say no

Fairy tales, mysteries, biographies to o

Anything you want, it s up to you

I can read books to you in a chair I can read to you with bad hair I can read to you when you re in

bedI can read to you, or you can read to

me instead

We can read books together in a tree

We can read them together quietly We can read them m a library We can read them - ju st turn off

tne i v

Let s read them by taking turns Then we can talk about w hat we've

learnedYou choose the books you like,

you 11 seeHow reading is the key to all that

you can dream or be

We can read them in a car We can read them near or far We can read books night or day Yes, we will read them until I hear

you say

Let s read that book again, Mom and Dad-I-Am*

B y the way, can we read about green eggs and ham9

m e m o r a b l eIt w as a season to remember for the

Schoolcraft College men’s basketball team, one which may be hard to duplicate

When a team wins 35 of 36 games, takes on all challengers and wins tough gam es on the road, you have to sit back m amazement

Only one bad seven-minute stretch separated the Ocelots from a National Junior College Athletic Association Division I title last w eek m Hutchinson, Kan

After building a13-pomt second-half lead in the semifinals Friday night against eventual national champion Dixie (Utah), the Ocelots found themselves m ja il — all five starters on the bench m foul trouble

Schoolcraft’s top player, Mike Williams, picked up his fourth on a dubious call w ith 13 07 to go And the team’s heart-and-soul, point-guard Rulon H am s, fouled out with 3 17 left Still, the Ocelots had a chance to tie, but tournament M VP Jaime Lloreda, a 6-foot-9 center headed to LSU, blocked Javon Clark’s three- point attem pt from the dead comer as time expired

Dixie escaped with a 72-69 win and went on to rally m the second h alf to beat homestate favorite Coffeyville (Kan ) for the national championship the next night before 7,000 in the Hutchinson Sports Arena, 82-81

Schoolcraft and defending champion W abash Valley (111) were left to play for third place And to the Ocelots’ credit, they bounced back from their only blemish on the year with a resounding 111-86 win

The N JCA A Tournament is like no other It brings 16 high caliber teams from across the country into one venue

And it ’s quite an extravaganza First it draws a Jew of coaches

scouring for talent Big i ame coaches seen last week

included Roy Williams (Kansas)Steve Alfoid (Iowa), Jim O’Brien (Ohio State), Steve McClain (Wyoming), Rod Barnes (Mississippi) and G ary Waters (Rutgers)

The list of current and former NBA players who have played in “Hutch” is impressive as well

The community of Hutchinson gets totally behind the event with a network of volunteers, m any of whom are w ar veterans associated w ith the local VFW and American Legion

So w hat were coaches and fans saying this year about Schoolcraft9

There m ay have been more athletic teams, but not many were smarter, more disciplined or better defensively

A ll five Ocelot starters averaged m double figures for the tournament, as well as a key reserve

This team brought their ‘A ’ game to the table most nights

Who could forget the three tournament wins at Southern Idaho, the ripping of F lint Mott, followed by the impressive run through the conference, state and region tourneys9

Not to be forgotten was the 13-hour odyssey to Wahpeton, N D and a 92- 82 victory before 4,000 fans at North Dakota State College of Science

The opening round NJCAA Tournament overtime victory over Allegany (Md ) w as another highlight followed by a lopsided win m the quarterfinals over Itawam ba (M iss)

The 12 Schoolcraft players who traveled to Hutchinson all brought something unique different to the table

Tromrnllv rmly twn ntayprsreturned from last year’s 32-4 team which qualified for Hutchinson — guard Javon Clark and North Farmington's Em ir Medunjanm

Here’s a brief look at the pieces of the puzzle, which resulted in a remarkable fit and the most successful basketball season in school history

T h e S t a r t e r sM ik e W illiam s, 6-7 fo rw ard :

Made the All-Tournament squad while averaging a double-double Despite weighing about 190, Williams an uncanny rebounder who can score and pass High majors are looking at him, but he may be suited better for a good mid-major We haven’t heard the last of him Had he not sat out last year because o f grades, Schoolcraft might have won the national title in 2 0 0 1

Their dreams shattered by foul trouble in Friday’s NJCAA Division I semifinals, the Schoolcraft College men’s basketball team was determined not to let their glorious season end on a sour note

In S a tu r d a y ’s co n so latio n f in a l, Schoolcraft finished its banner year 35- 1 with a convincing 111-86 victory over defending cham pion W abash V a lley (111) at the Hutchinson (Kan ) Sports Arena

Dixie (Utah), which ousted Schoolcraft from the winner’s bracket Friday, 72-69, ralhed late in the second half to w in th e n a tio n al t it le a g a in st C o ffeyville (K an ), 82-81, before 7,000 fans m Hutchinson

The Ocelots also had some mcentive a g a in s t W ab a sh , led b y K e n tu c k y signee and last year’s tournament M VP Antwam Barbour

The W arriors ousted Schoolcraft m overtim e during last year's quarterfinals and w ent on to w in the coveted crown

Schoolcraft shot 67 percent m the first h alf (19 of 28) to take a 48-39 halftim e le a d a s 6-foot-8 c e n te r Y a k u Moton-Spruill (Westland John Glenn) and 6-foot guard Javon C lark (Detroit Cass Tech) each scored 12 points

The Ocelots m aintained th eir lead th ro u g h o u t th e second h a lf, b u t Wabash pulled to within six, 76-70, on a three-pointer by Barbour with 10 19 to go

Schoolcraft then went on a 41-16 run to end the game in grand fashion

All five Ocelot starters scored on double figures as C lark fin ish ed w ith a team-high 21, hitting five o f 11 from three-pomt range

Moton-Spruill added 18 points and seven rebounds, while M ike Williams, a 6-7 forward from Detroit C ity High, added his third double-double of the to u rn e y w ith 17 p o in ts and 1 1 rebounds

Emir Medujanm (North Farmington) contributed 15 points and five assists, w h ile p o in t-g u ard R u lo n H a rris (D etroit Mumford) added 12 points, including four of seven shots beyond the arc H arris also d ished out five assists

The Observer & Eccentric/ THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 2002 (CP)D3

E m o n s from page D1

R u lon H arris, 6-1 guard:The transfer from Flint Mott was overlooked for the Small Man Award in Hutchinson He was simply outstanding in the tournament opener against Allegany, scoring a game-high 29 points His play reminds you of Maurice Cheeks, the prototype point-guard University of Detroit Mercy is getting a steal A very efficient player

J avo n C la rk , 6-0 guard: The team’s top 3-point marksman and second-leading scorer was hounded defensively by taller guards throughout the post-season tourney, but he acquitted himself quite well He’s a team player who doesn’t make mistakes and plays solid defense His shooting alone will garner him serious Division I looks

Y a k u M oton-Spruill, 6-8 center: The Westland John Glenn grad, who also doubles as the team comedian, found a home on Haggerty Road after stmts at Pans JC (Tex) and Mount Zion Christian Academy (N C ) He has the size, bulk (260 pounds), footwork and touch around the basket to contribute to a mid-major or low mid-major school I f he improves his rebounding skills, watch out

E m ir M edunjanin, 6-6 fo rw ard: A solid role player who got tougher as the season wore on He often guarded the opposing team’s top player He scored 19 and 15 in his final two games as an Ocelot and proved he could grab rebounds and loose balls He should find a home at a low major and will not disappoint

The ReservesD e lv ar B a rre tt, 6-7 cen ter:

Great hands, good passer and great touch around the hoop for a man who tips the scales close to 290 His play in “Hutch” drew plenty of interest from Division I schools The Detroit Cooley graduate was taught well by coach Ben Kelso

R on ald D orsey, 6-5 fo rw ard: By far the team’s most athletic player, the freshman from Detroit Pershing is already on the list of Division I coaches He could throw down dunks with the best and his outside shooting this season improved by leaps and bounds

J u liu s A ustin , 6-4 g u a rd : Aninteresting story The Baldwin native went three semesters to the University of Michigan majoring in engineering before dropping out to undergo back surgery He landed at Schoolcraft where he gave the Ocelots valuable minutes both as a shooter and defender Very athletic, Austin should make some Division II school happy

G ary Joh n son , 6-1 gu ard : The freshman Could be following m the footsteps of fellow Wayne and Schoolcraft grad Brian Williams, who started for two years at Division I Western Illinois Johnson learned a lot playing behind Harris He has all the skills — ball-handling, quickness and shooting W hat he needs to do is get in the weight room and take the point-guard spot next year by the throat He handled himself beautifully late m the game against Dixie State

C a rl M uham m ad, 6-6 fo r w ard: When you’re from Detroit Redford, you’re tough Muhammad was never afraid to mix it up on the boards The sophomore would have played more minutes on most other teams, but he’ll l&nd somewhere in the Division II ranks

R yan C e le sk e y , 6-1 guard:The former All-Observer guard from Redford Catholic Central got limited minutes this season, but he showed patience The coaching staff saw marked improvement in the freshman’s game He onngs tougnness to the table and now understands what it takes to get to the Division II level, and perhaps even Division I level i f he can work on his footwork defensively and create his shot off the dribble Always plays hard

N ick C ab au atan , 5-9 gu ard : The freshman from Plymouth Canton accepted his role as 12th man and you could tell he enjoyed the nde He’s a guy who just loves to play and is not hung up on going Division I, II or even II He’ll do whatever is asked

The StaffC arlo s B rig g s, h ead coach :

R e a d

O b s e r v e r

S p o r t s

His five-year record of 141-24 speaks at Schoolcraft speaks for itself He learned a lot from his first experience in Hutchinson He put this team together virtually from scratch You wonder how much longer he’ll be m Livonia because Division I assistant jobs will be offered The former Schoolcraft All-America relates well to his players and gets them to buy into his system He is also a relentless recruiter

S teve N o rgro ve, a ss is ta n t coach: Nobody prepares harder or pays attention to detail like

this guy He’s and X-and-0 guy who juggles an elementary school teaching job, not to men tion a w ife and two children He has an eye for talent and has the respect of the players

C a r o l D err, aca d em ic assista n ce: W ears a variety of hats She runs the study table, serves as travel coordinator and works behind the scenes, while keeping the coaches on an even keel She takes a lot of good natured kidding and needling from the players and coaches, but they respect

the job she does for the programE d K a va n a u g h , A th le tic

D irecto r: Made the trip to “Hutch” for the first tim e He’s the guy who hired B nggs and women’s coach Karen Lafata when the programs were way down He knows basketball He won a pair of state championships at Livonia Ladywood

No. 1 FanR ic h a rd D eV ries, sch o o l

tru ste e : There’s no more loyal or bigger backer of the men’s basketball program He supports

the team home and away The retired school teacher and coach often travels to see former Schoolcraft players He made a trip this year to Alabama to see Auburn’s Derrick Bird and U N LV’s Lam ar Bigby He also caught ex-SC players Brian W illiams and Quentin Mitchell at the Mid-Continent Tourney this year in Fort Wayne, Ind

My perspectiveIt was thnil to cover this team

throughout the year They played the game of basketball

the w ay it should be played I was able to spend some time with this group and m y only wish is that they finish school, earn their associate degrees and go on to be successful at a four- year school It w as a nde I never expected It w as a season 111 fondly remember to remember

Schoolcraft had 26 fouls to Dixie’s 16 Tournament MVP Jaim e Lloreda, a 6-9 center

“T hat game is behind us,” Briggs said “Refs don’t wm or lose games We tell our guys they always control their own destiny

“They (Dixie) executed better down the stretch and there was a minute stretch for us where we didn’t execute and we may have lost our composure

“I t w as k ind of h a rd to come back (ag a in st Wabash), but we play hard every game we step on the court We might not play well every night, but we play hard ”

N in e ty p e rc e n t o f Franklin's work involves conducting food service inspections This inclu des mobile units and public facilities like schools that serve food The 85-year-old m o th e r o f tw o also takes com plaints about problems such as backed-up sewers

In sp ectio n s a re u n a n nounced A routine inspection can take from 40 minutes up to five hours In an average m onth sh e'll do 30 routin e visits with 25 additional follow-up inspections and complaint reviews

To cut down on paper, she uses a small data recording d evice about th e s ize of a hardcover book to record her findings The information can then be p rin ted out on the

spot for the restaurant owner and later, back at the office, th e data downloaded into a computer

While Franklin stresses the m ajority of her inspections involve minor violations, she has learned that places with a wide variety of menu items can be a concern "In places like that, the staff is trying to do a lot of things at once," she explains, "and the potential fo r cro ss-co n tam in atio n is th ere For exam ple, a cook m ay be cracking an egg and touching a sandwich with the sam e hands T h eir controls have to be tigh ter"

It would more than likely depend on your condom inium documents

T h e re is a g re a t d e a l o f case law around the country th a t su g g e sts th a t w hen a person purchases a condominium, they take it subje c t to the e x istin g docu m en ts w h ich

R O B E R T M . provisions may, more M E ISN E R th an likely, contain

the right of the association to amend the

condominium documents M an y courts around the country

have ta k e n the v iew th a t one who purchases a condominium takes subject to the n sk that certain rights to lease, for example, may be eliminated by w ay o f amendment to the condominium documents '

T h a t is n ’t to sa y you can not a tte m p t to se e k le g a l red ress m regard to this issue, but you may have an uphill battle You may have better recourse through the political process m terms of changing the minds of coowners who m ay some day wish to lease their units

It’s time again for another edition of real estate follies

Step right up, yes, step right up and read about the bizarre, the hilarious and the dangerous

These are personal accounts of actual events - unusual m scope - that happened in th e fie ld r ig h t fro m th e mouths of the participants

So step right up Hurry, hurry, hurry Truth is stranger than fiction You truly will be amazed And maybe even learn a thing or two

■ Roy W ilson , a sso c ia te broker, Remenca Heritage, Farmington Hills

“This w as m any years ago, back in the ’70s Nothing tops it A guy had a house for sale m Birmingham His wife was an invalid, ill, in a bedroom and you couldn’t get in to show it ”

Both were quite elderly, Wilson said“She died, but he couldn’t part with

h er I t m u st h ave been a coup le o f weeks before the smell got so bad, we alerted the police

“I had a couple who were interested in it (house) and visited a couple of times, but then they didn’t w ant anything to do with i t ”

Lesson learned - “Any tim e anyone tells you you can’t show a room, at least get your nose m it and find out why,” Wilson said

■ Tina McNeal-O’Bnen, Real Estate One, Lathrup

“I was brand new m the business, just weeks I got a buyer on a floor call (walk-m ) and we w ent to preview a property m Southfield It was vacant

“I can handle anything, but I can’t do mice,” McNeal-O’Bnen said “When we

a aIa a <m A<a 4 **f a 1 J «%4*a aV^VMVU VAAV U W * U1AM ftliving room, about eight mice scattered everywhere

“I jumped on the client and wrapped my legs around his waist I was screaming at the top of my lungs He has to

physically can y me off the property He locks up

“He doesn t call for a week and 1 m m angst she said He eventually calls back - said he was in a seminar - and I finally placed him in a home ”

McNeai-0 Bnen puts the expenence into perspective “We’re m a hum an business and frailty comes with the job, sometimes You have people (clients) who understand that ”

■ Tony Seagraves, associate broker, RE/MAX100, Commerce

“I w alked in on a lady nude in the bathroom She w asn’t answering the door and I w as show ing She didn’t hear me and I didn’t hear her

“She w as more embarrassed than I w as We scam pered out o f there We breezed through the rest of the house It distracted us, sort o f”

W hat did Seagraves take away other than an eyeful9 “I guess you knock on every door before you open it,” he said

■ Patti Balint, Realtor, Quality Properties GMAC, Plymouth

“The clients called me and asked me to look up a multi-listing number I told them it was right across from a graveyard They said, That’s OK, we want peace and quiet and not have to worry about neighbors ’

“They didn’t like that one (house) I showed at least four or five across the street from a cemetery, next to, down the street,” Balint said “I kept sending them things and finally they bought one not near a graveyard I didn’t ask w hy”

B u t she did learn from the experience “Never underestimate the power o f th e h um an s p ir it ,” B a lin t said “That’s a p u n ”

“We m et a t the office to go v isit a house He was w ell dressed, nothing

abnormal He asked if h e could drive because he had all h is papers and a phone m the car Wade said

T said OK and after we got into the car, I noticed there was no handle on the passenger door I thought, ‘Oh my God ’ I didn’t ask many questions about anything,” she said.

Especially the missing door handle “Actually, it turned out fine Nothing hap

pened,” Wade added. T made an excuse and called my husband to pick me up ”

Wade never heard from the would-be buyer again. “Strange9 Absolutely” she said.

A good lesson accompanied the scare “I always drive iff my car I don’t take

customers who aren’t referred or preapproved by a lending officer so someone knows who they are,” Wade said

■ Henry Hogan, Realtor, M ax Broock, Clarkston

“I was showing an old farmhouse, 100- years-old, and th e ow ner w an ted to escort m y client, a woman He took her into the Michigan basement (dirt floor) where a salamander ran across her foot

“She yelped, was up the stairs, out of the house and back in th e car in seconds,” Hogan recalled “She w as fast We w ere supposed to see tw o oth er homes th at day, but she decided she had seen enough

“I never saw her again,” he added “I tried to reach her several times, but she never returned my calls ”

And w hat did Hogan learn from the encounter9

“Always make sure the seller is out of the house and not the tour guide When they’re around, tours always take longer”

Left unsaid - shorter tours are less lik e ly to in terrupt w ild creatures in their space■ Barb Carreon, Realtor, Century 2 1 ,

The F H A ’s 203b p ro gra m includes a 1 5 percent U p-Front Mortgage Insurance Prem ium on each mortgage (except for condos) to help keep the buyers m onthly payments low However, the FH A also allows borrowers to finance that Up Front Mortgage Insurance Premium back into the mortgage The net impact of doing so increases the monthly payment about $10 depending on the loan size and interest rate I f the borrowers refinance out of their FH A loan or sell their property after only a couple years, they get a prorated refund from HUD of the unused Up-Front Mortgage Insurance Premium

Let's see now, pay $10 a month for a y e a r or tw o, th en re ce iv e m any hundreds o f d o llars from U ncle Sam w hen you a re done with the loan Not bad A fter 5 years, you get nothing back, but your FH A loan remains assumable for qualified buyers
