Police defend marijuana stopPlymouth Township police issued a report defending the handling of a controversial traffic stop of a Wayne County judge who was allegedly smoking marijuana while driving to a local restaurant for dinner.

B y Ke v in B r o w nStaff Whiter

A police call on a possible break-in apparently helped save a local judge from the embarrassment of a posses­sion of marijuana charge.

That’s what’s suggested in written reports filed by two Plymouth Town­ship police officers on the Jan. 15

traffic stop of Wayne County Circuit Judge Richard C Kaufman

At about 6:30 p.m., patrol Officer David Hayes was responding to a breaking and entering alarm when he spotted the driver of a car who appeared to be smoking a "joint."

After pulling the driver over on Ann Arbor Trail just east of Sheldon, the

driver identified himself as Judge Kaufman.

Hayes wrote that upon approaching the car Kaufman was driving — the judge, his wife and two friends were on their way to Ernesto's for dinner — Hayes noticed “a strong odor of what appeared to be burning marijua na emitting from the vehicle.”

Soon after, “Mr. Kaufman looked to the ground and said, 'You got me, 1 made a mistake,’ ” Hayes continued in his report.

"1 asked him if he had any more dope in his vehicle, he stated, “No, that was all we had,' " the report con­

tinuedSgt. James Jarvis, driving a second

patrol vehicle which responded to the scene, also wrote a report on the inci dent. After arriving at the scene, Jarvis wrote that he asked Kaufman, “How would this look9"

“Mr Kaufman’s reply was, I don't know what to say ' ’’

The Wayne County prosecutor’s office and the Michigan State Police are investigating the traffic stop, sparked by a telephone call about the incident placed to the prosecutor’s office.

Driver apologizes for killing young manB y J o a n n e M a l isz e w sk i Staff Warre*

With tears in his eyes and a trem bling voice, Dennis Spears of Canton apologized for killing a 22-year-old Plymouth rollerblader with his car on Beck Road in August 1993.

“I’m sorry. 1 don’t know what else to say,” said Spears, who was crying as he stood before Detroit Recorder’s Court Judge Leonard Townsend for sentencing Tuesday morning on one count of negligent homicide.

Spears, who worked at Gil-Mar Manufacturing for almost five years, pleaded no contest to the charge in connection with the death of David Kavalhuna as he skated on south­

bound Beck Road, shortly after 9 p.m. on Aug. 23, 1993.

According to witness accounts in Canton police reports, Spears gunned the car engine — he was testing the car after installing a rebuilt carbure­tor — as he traveled down Beck Road. It is believed he likely reached up to 70 mph, if not at least 100 mph, be­fore he hit Kavalhuna with his 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle.

Townsend sentenced Spears, 24, to one year in Wayne County Jail, allow­ing participation in a work-release program if available, as well as five years probation and suspension of driving privileges for three years.

“It’s easy to sentence an habitual

criminal. This gentleman isn’t,” Townsend said, as he sentenced Spears, who pleaded no contest to the charge Dec. 17. A civil suit cannot be filed when someone pleads no con­test. John Stewart, the Kavalhunas’ attorney, confirmed there will be no civil suit for damages.

According to witnesses who saw the young man on Beck Road, Kavalhuna was not wearing reflective items and was difficult to see. Another witness said she saw Spears brake the car to avoid hitting Kavalhuna, who was de­capitated.

Despite a plea from Spears’ attor­

ney, William Montgomery of Plym­outh, to reduce the sentence, Town­send refused. "This is an extreme case,” Townsend said, adding that any less of a sentence would send the wrong message.

The victim’s father, Sergio Ka­valhuna, told the court that he and his family forgive Spears He also spoke of his son’s achievements, in­cluding acceptance as a graduate stu­dent in film studies at New York Uni­versity.

“In my heart, I can't believe that Dennis Spears intended to hurt any­one. But, according to the police re­port, apparently Mr. Spears was driv­ing too fast shortly before impact. Mr Spears’ statement to the police was that he knew his headlights pointed down and he couldn't see more than three or four feet ahead of the car,” Kavalhuna said, reading from a pre­pared statement.

Attorney Montgomery asked Town send not to give Spears jail time "There’s absolutely no intention here on anybody’s part for what occurred. I think we have to look at that," Mont­gomery said.

With the birth of two twin boys to Spears and his live-in girlfriend since the accident, jail time would only ere ate yet another tragedy, Montgomery said. “He’s had quite a bit of difficul­ty," he continued, adding that Spears has been in counseling

Spears' girlfriend, Jennifer Green, also spoke "I just had two babies and I need him to be home to help me, she said. "He’s a good kid He never did anything wrong “

But Wayne County Assistant Pro­secutor Kevin Simowski asked for jail time. “He's using a public road as a drag strip," he said "We re urging a period of incarceration and suspen- sion of driving privileges for as long as you can do it."

Kavalhuna didn’t ask for a specific sentence. "Unfortunately, there is

Freeze-thaw cycle makes for a bumpy rideB y K e v in B r o w nStaff W rittr

The frigid weather last week, cou­pled with the recent thaw, is creating more potholes and other bumpy road conditions than usual, motorists and road maintenance crews are discover ing

“When the pavement was bitter cold, 20 below, you didn’t see many potholes,” said Earl Oil i la. road maintenance engineer with Wayne County

"But now you're seeing moisture It's the freeze thaw cycle," Ollila said, that contributes to potholes and other bumpy road conditions.

"The pavements are moving. You’ve got frozen moisture in a crack

in the pavement, it expands and breaks it up, when the frozen water turns to a liquid it releases pressure A car drives over it and chunks get thrown out, and that’s called a pothole," Ollila said

“We have not had a real nasty pothole problem so far," Ollila said, but added that when the frost that penetrated deeper into the aoil during frigid cold begins to thaw, more mois ture and pressure than usual will be released

This could cause problems, espe cially on gravel roads "There is a deeper penetration of frost especially on a flexible based road If there’s not concrete in it, that road will move," he said.

“Say the frost penetrates down to 36 inches On a gravel road, the frost starts coming out and it just becomes a quagmire The possibility exists that the gravel roads are going to be a real problem because of the cold," Ol­lila said

Yet, gravel roads in Plymouth and north Canton likely won't be as bad as gravel roads in the southeast sec tion of the county, where there is much clay, he said

“In the north section of the county, you have hard gravel and a lot of sand. There's good vertical drainage, those gravel roads don't fall apart as readily," he said.

Ollila said county crews are work

ing to cold patch holes that have popped up

“You put cold mix in the pothole ^nd try to compact it with the tire of the truck or at least hit it with a sho vel The traffic will beat it down from that point,” he said, so the patch will stay

Paul Sincock, city of Plymouth de­partment of public works director, said the freeze thaw has created sev­eral potholes around the city

"You want to try to fill these up as quickly as possible, you don't want more water in there," he said.

In the spring. Sincock said the city DPW plans to do roadway joint seal­ing and crack sealing to repair and head off damage

School cutbacks create a cloud of controversyBy M.B. D il l o n Staff W arm

A controversy ia brewing as Plymouth Canton Community School* begin budgeting for next yeer in the wake of the etate’e reetructuring of school finance*.

Whether voters approve the ballot plan to in creeae the salee tax and lower the income tax, or the statutory plan to increase the income tax take# effect, Plymouth-Canton school officials project a deficit of at least tl.8 million.

Getting a clear view of the financial picture hae been difficult, even for Ray Hoadal, associate superintendent for buaineea. "We've been Strug gling the last few weeks trying to determine what

our revenue base is for next year," he said. "We do know we will be short of cash on hand.”

Superintendent John Hoben is recommending S2.3 million in cute to cover expenses and restore Ihi district's rainy day fond. He's suggesting that the board of education close Lowell Middle School, Gallimore Elementary, and Tanger and Starkweather, former elementariae that house special programs. Also recommended is the opening of Tonde and Bentley, newly-construct­ed elementsries boarded up after the lest mi I lag* request failed, and relocating the Talented end Gifted program.

Public hearings to discuss his proposals are set for upcoming Mondays.

The first will be at 7 p.m Monday, Jan. 31, at the Canton Little Theater at Plymouth Canton Educational Park.

Next will be a 7 p.m. public hearing Monday, Feb. 7, at Lowell Middle School to discuss mid­dle school reconfiguration. The Monday, Feb. 14, meeting is canceled.

At 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 21, a public hearing on the elementary school reconfiguration will take place at Pioneer Middle School. A budget work­shop is scheduled for 8 a m Saturday, Feb. 26, in the board meeting room. 454 S. Harvey in the downtown Plymouth administration building.

Last look: Ice sculptures at Kellogg Park got a bit drippy as temperatures warmed on Monday and Tuesday, and city department of public works crews carted them to a final resting place near Riverside Cemetery, to stockpile them with snow collected from city streets.

Festival a success

Students help Salvation Army

Close Up government stu- denU from Plymouth Canton Community School* and Went cheater Square Mall merchants teamed up to help the Selva tion Army and at the same time, serve up treats for visi tors to the recent Plymouth In temational Ice Sculpture Spec­tacular

The merchants furnished an old-fashioned popcorn ma chine and popcorn, while the students did the popping and selling, said Hilda Bokos of Unique Accessories. “ We asked 25 cents or more per bag donation, and 100 percent of the proceeds went to the Salva­tion Army,” she said. A total of

$166 was raisedBoko* praised the student*,

saying that not only were they great salesmen and women, but that they were terrific kida. 'They really came out and worked," she said. "They were really hawking the popcorn. Unfortunately, they were very very cold standing outside, with steam coming out of their mouths.

“People today talk about how bad kids are these days. These were really great kids.”

The high school students earned credit hours toward community service and their upcoming trip to Washington, DC.

CLARIFICATIONMichael Gutowski of Plymouth

was nominated to the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, not for

the Air Force Academy at Colora­do Springs, Colo.

This year’s Plymouth Interna­tional Ice Sculpture Spectacular wasn’t a moneymaker, but it ap­pears that the 12th annual event broke even.

“ U n til all th e m oney’s promised and the bills are in, it’ll be too early to tell where we are financially, but I believe we’re able to cover all our expenses,” said Mike Watts of Watts-Up, inc., festival organizer.

“I think we’re OK, despite the temperature. Even though in this case it was too cold, it’s better than having it too warm.”

Crowds, expected to reach the

half-million mark, were down due to the arctic blast that sent tem­peratures plummeting to record lows.

“We estimated about 300,000 people were here,” said Watts. “It’s tough to guesstimate. A lot of people came through in their cars who maybe didn’t walk around. Still, there were a lot of people who came through during the week. We spoke with retailers and were told business Wednes­day and Thursday was up over the usual. People knew the cold weather was coming.”

Police and fire chiefs and finance officers representing local governments in Plymouth, Can­ton and Northville are continuing a study on merging police and fire dispatch, records and jail opera­tions.

The fire and police chiefs are part of a subcommittee, reporting to a larger committee on shared government services.

That larger committee is made up of the elected leaders of Can­ton, Plymouth Township, Plym­outh, Northville Township and Northville.

Plymouth Township Supervi­sor Kathleen Keen-McCarthy said, “The subcommittee is work ing out details at how this would work."

Among factors they're trying to determine is the cost to each com­munity to continue operating fire and police dispatch, records and jail as they do currently. Each community could then compare

that cost figure to the costs toward a joint operation.

“They’re looking at what the or­ganizational structure would look like, how many people they’d need,” said McCarthy, spokes­woman for the intergovernment subcommittee.

“Then they can go back to the finance people and get ideas on equitable cost sharing, and they can cast out a five-year budget for combined operations," McCarthy said.

She said the fire and police chiefs are putting together a list of pros and cons for making joint operations happen.

The intergovemment commit­tee, after receiving a report from a consulting firm on how to tackle the merging of police and fire ser vices, decided to study for now only merging records, dispatch and jail services

“They agreed it made better sense to do the smaller project firat, to see if it would work before trying to go further," McCarthy said.

Task force to examine ways to keep Ford Road thrivingB y J o a n n e M a u b z e w b k iS taff Warnta

By any other name, Ford Road is the heart of Canton.

"Ford Road, like it or not, is our main street. We need to pay at tention to it to be sure it stays at tractive and vital,” said Town­ship Supervisor Tom Yack.

He is organising s task force of township staff and, later, commu­nity members to study not only traffic problems on the corridor, but also its appearance and mix of retail business. The group's ul­timate goal is to provide a series of recommendations designed to improve the high-traffic commer­cial corridor

Engineering, planning and com m unications sta ff met Wednesday to organise the task force, establish a mission, and determine tasks to be acoom pllfth+d.

“The second task will be to identify the groups and Individu­als to serve. And it will be opened to the public,” Yack said.

Problems Yack sees with Ford Road are the lack of design con­sistency among the buildings, in­cluding landscaping and signs; entrances and exits from the strip malls; problems at intersections; and concerns about aesthetics, in­cluding utilities.

The mix of retail businesses is also of concern "We have some deficiencies. We need to identify what the needs are in the commu­nity. Once we have established the needs, we can market to those who can satisfy the needs,” Yack said.

He also pointed to the lack of continuous sidewalks along the corridor as well as the need for improved stacking lanes for turn­ing cars. The strip malls also arc not linked together to provide traffic flow from one to another, and many of the centers have only one access point

Many currant ordinances can’t force developers to put In more than one eooooe from a center or

to provide consistency along the corridor. "There are some limita­tions," Yack said.

But the township engineering department will soon have a new computerized tool to help deter­mine what impact development will have on surrounding areas. “Then there will be greater ability to say ’no’ ,”Yack said.

The plan is to create subcom­mittees to handle the various as­pects, such as traffic, in the Ford Road study. Each of the subcom­mittees will receive help from township staff. Yack said he ex­pects letters will be sent to exist­ing businesses on Ford Road, ask­ing for their participation

"We will share information with everybody," Yack said.

Some of the information to be shared before work begins include progress of the downtown deval opment authority, aa wall aa son ing and planning, vacant parcels and the strengths and weaknesses of the existing corridor.

Call of wild takes producer up to AlaskaB y J l u e B rown Staff Wetttb

The Alaska John Zimmerle has come to know and love isn't like anything you’d see on TV’s “Northern Exposure."

"I did get a chance to spend an incredible 40 days and 40 nights in Alaska," said Zimmerle, a Pe- toskey resident who owns the Wolverine Outdoor Education Center in northern Michigan. He traveled with filmmaker Steve Kroschel, a Minnesota resident, to Alaska in the spring of 1993 to work on a film project.

Zimmerle, who spent part of his growing-up yea™ in the Plymouth area, attending local schools for kindergarten through ninth grade, was executive producer for the project. Kroschel was director/ producer of the film, which they named “One Paw."

Zimmerle discussed the joys and frustrations of working on the project during a Thursday, Jan. 20, session at the Plymouth Dis­trict Library. The Focus program was sponsored by the Friends of the Library.

“It was carefully planned so that you would be in the mood for A laska,” Jackie T routm an, Friends program chairwoman, said of the week’s bone-chilling weather.

Small crewZimmerle and Kroschel worked

with a small film crew, doing their filming in the wilderness outside of Anchorage. The crew worked with two live wolverines, Skippy and One Paw, and a stuffed wolverine, used during dangerous scenes.

The film, which has not yet been released, tells the story of a boy’s relationship with One Paw.

The boy starts out rather bratty, but learns valuable lessons from the wolverine.

“We hope that it’s test market ed,” Zimmerle said of the film, which is approximately 98 min­utes long. "Well certainly try to keep you posted.

"It’s a buyer’s market for the distributor right now. You may never see it, believe it or not,” he said of the t2.3 million project.

Zimmerle’s not sure how welt it will do in theate™, but knows there will be a video. This was the fi™t film done by Kroschel, a Hinkley, Minn., resident in his early 30s.

Zimmerle showed “Behind the Scenes of One Paw" to his audi­ence of approximately 50 people at the library in downtown Plym­outh. Zimmerle answered many questions about Alaska, wolve­rines and filmmaking.

The video included scenes of avalanches being set off for the production. The movie also in­cludes a plane crash; it was diffi­cult for the crew, working on a tight budget, to watch the expen­sive plane crash.

The movie called for different backgrounds, some with snow and some in warmer weather without much snow. The crew simply moved to different altitudes, de­pending on what was needed.

Alaska has a population of only about 500,000, centered in the Anchorage area, he said. He was in Alaska during the time of year when it’s still light out at mid­night. “You just never seem to get tired.”

Zimmerle prepared for his trip north by reading such books as James Michener's "Alaska” and Charles Brower’s “50 Yeare Below Zero.”

Shared services committeestudies details of merger

The intergovemment commit­tee is trying to see if costs to run these operations could be reduced by sharing services, or if service could be increased at the same cost.

In one example where combin­ing operations could save money, McCarthy said an average of 17 prisoners are locked up each day in jails in all five communities. The communities could possibly save staff costs by using just the Canton jail, where dispatch em­ployees are able to observe locked-up prisoners from their dispatch post.

To get ideas, the committee is looking at other communities that have initiated some joint opera­tions, including Midland.

On Monday, the subcommittee “discussed the minimum we would need for radio communica­tion equipment," McCarthy said.

The committee is scheduled to meet again the second week in February

Memories: John Zimmerle shares mementos of his trip to Alaska with an attentive audience during the library program in Plymouth. The movie he worked on, not yet released, tells the story of a wolverine with one white- tipped paw. •

“After reading those two books, I was really eager to get to Alas­ka," said Zimmerle, who did re­search on the film industry and did the fund-raising for the mov­ie.

Family filmHe and othe™ are hoping the

film will get a PG rating, and will be seen by a number of families. Its name could be changed to “White Paw” or something else.

"People want to be able to go to

the movies and not have all this other stuff that’s going on,” he said of the family film market.

Zimmerle has plenty of experi­ence working with children. He and his wife own the outdoor edu­cation center in Wolverine, Mich., which is visited by a number of students each year, including those from such Plymouth schools as Our Lady of Good Counsel and St. Peter’s Lutheran.

“Nellie Bird was my principal,” Zimmerle said of his own child­

hood. “Ruth Eriksson could tell stories, what a storyteller.” Many believed it was a shame when the edqcgtor left the classroom to be­come a principal, he told his audi­ence. Both women had Plymouth- Canton elem entary schools named for them.

Zimmerle moved to Howell as a teenager. These days, he and his wife, who have three grown chil­dren, live in Petoskey. They’re planning a move to Wolverine, to be closer to the education center,

where students learn about the great outdoore

The outdoor education camp is directed by Plymouth native Don Pocklington, whose mother, Hel­en Hopkins, is a Friends of the Library member. The Friends group offered a film program in the past, and it was well-received, said Troutman, the program — chairwoman.

"We try to aim at different 1groups of the community,” she ;said.

The board is elated to vote on • preliminary budget at ita 7:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 28 meeting

On Wednesday, Feb 2. at 454S. Harvey, a public hearing will be held on the superintendent search.

The board's finance subcom­mittee, with input from invited members of the public, brain­stormed on ways to save money. Among their ideas: closing Lowell, Tanger and Starkweather, not opening the new elementaries; computerizing accounting; offer­ing early retirement; reducing the number of bus stops; making co- curricular activities self-sustain­ing; privatizing prin ting , warehousing, building operations, purchasing and maintenance; combining school elections with governmental elections; increas­ing community fees; and stream­lining the curriculum.

In an impassioned plea to the board applauded by the audience, longtime school supporter and PTO president Peggy Kalis Mon­day criticized officials for seeking

a “quick fix" at children's ex- p en M .

She found fault with the ad­ministration and the subcommit­tee for not seeking input from staff.

“Doesn't it make sense to run it by the people involved? These are the people who can give you mon­ey-saving ideas. Learn to commu­nicate with your overworked, ded­icated staff," she said.

Kalis also criticised the board for resigning itself to "living with the hand that was dealt us. What if Ford Motor Company said to its employees and customers, ‘Sorry, we have to live with the hand that’s dealt us’? Look at alterna­tives; then make your decision.”

She to0k issue with the conten­tion that students and the class­room won’t be affected. “There al­ready are complaints about over­crowding at the high schools. Now it will be the same at the middle schools, affecting classroom situ­ations that already are taxed.

“Before we need a bond for a new middle school, which we will, I wish you’d just say so.

Judge from page 1A

Kaufman livea in Plymouth Townahip.

Kaufman declined to comment end did not return several calls placed to hia office by the Obeerv er on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday

In hia report to Plymouth Township police Chief Carl Berry, Hayee said that while he has been involved in several drug investiga tions leading to convictions, "I was dispatched to a B&E (break­ing and entering) of a residence which could have led to the arreet of a felon, and the recovery of per­sonal property.”

“I feel very comfortable with my decision regarding this inci­dent I was not influenced by the fact that Mr. Kaufman is a judge.

Sentence

Due to the small quantity of mar ijuana, 1 felt a warning was war­ranted in this case,” Hayes con tinued.

Berry said that while the car could have been searched, officers used their discretion, and that the judge was not given special treat­ment

Hayes has been a police officer for seven years, and has served as a detective for the laat two years.

“Anybody involved in a traffic stop is treated like any other citi­zen,” Berry said.

"We do not have a policy,” he said, on such stops to require a routine search when an odor of marguana is detected.

“We do have training tech­

niques and officers are allowed to use some discretion on the road — And I’m not about to second guess my officers on the street,” Berry said.

Richard Padzieski, chief of op­erations of the Wayne County prosecutor’s office, said hia office was made aware of the incident when "an assistant got a phone call on it.”

“There have been allegations and we’re conducting an investi­gation,” Padzieski said, adding it should be completed “probably next week.”

Asked if his office would con­tact Kaufman on the matter, Pad­zieski said, “That’s going to be up to him but he has an attorney.”

Kaufman, 42, recently < eight-year stint as chief judge of the Wayne County Circuit Court.

He was in the national news last fall, alter handing down a rul­ing favorable to suicide doctor Jack Kevorkian.

Over the weekend, Berry com piled a report on the incident and submitted it Monday to the pro •ecutor's office.

“I think this whole thing is get­ting far more attention than it de­serves,” he added, as metro De­troit TV, newspapers and radio stations are also reporting the in­cident

"There are many crime issues deserving far more attention,” Berry said.

Ford’s departure breaks open 13th District race3EY 8L HA.N KoultK

Iajt

Candida lea from both mayor parties are lining up to tost the political waters in the wake of U.S. Rep. Bill Ford’s announce­ment Tuesday that he will not seek re-election later this year.

Ford, a Democrat, whose dis­trict includes Garden City, West land, Plymouth, Plymouth Town­ship, part of Livonia and eastern Washtenaw County, has been in the U.8. House of Representa­tives for 30 years.

Democrats reportedly eyeing the seat include Wayne County Commissioner and former Ford staffer Bryan Amann and state Rep. Kirk Profit, D-Ypsilanti.

Northville resident Tom Wat­kins, special assistant to Wayne State University President David A daman y, has also been men tinned as a possible Democratic contender.

State Sen. Lana Pollack, D- Ann Arbor, has reportedly stated that she's staying in the race for U.S. Senate. However, several Democratic leaders contacted said PolUck would be the front runner if she jumped into thisrace.

Former Livonian, John Schall, a Republican who now lives in Ann Arbor, announced his candi­dacy in September. Schall served on the White House staff for 2Vi years as deputy of the Domestic

Policy Council under George Bush. He was also chief at staff to the U.S. Department of Labor from 1991 to 1993.

“Repreeentative Ford's retire­ment really doesn't change the race that much. I've been running ae a new voice for the people of the 13th district. This campaign is about the future — about get­ting the economy moving and cre­ating jobs. Ill be talking about the issues that matter for the fu­ture: crime, health care, education and jobs,” Schall stated in a press release late Tuesday.

Cynthia Hudgins Wilbanks, former aide to Puraell who now heads Michigan’s Children, a pri­vate non-profit multi-advocacy group, said she “is in the process of talking to people” close to her about running.

Wilbanks bolds a degree in po­litical science from the University of Michigan. She worked for Con­gressman Marvin Each for four years then ran U.S. Rep. Carl Purnell's three district offices for 16 years.

Wilbanks had considered a run in the district two years ago but backed away when State Sen. Robert Geake, a Northville Re­

publican, announced. She haa been active in the Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce, Ann Ar­bor Rotary and served as govern­ment relations chair of the Michi- gan Technology Council. She Uvea in YpaUanti and grew up in Detroit.

“This will be a dynamic race on both sides,” said Wilbanks.

Other Republicans mentioned as possible candidates are School­craft College Board President Steve Ragan and Suaie Heintz, former Wayne County commis­sioner and currently head of Gov. John Engler’s southeast Michi­gan office.

Geake, who ran against Ford in 1992, said he decided “months

ago that I would run for my seat.” Ha said Schall haa an excellent chance, but be ia not supporting him at hia time.

Geake said there ere others who have helped him on paat'cam­paigns who may get into the race but he declined to elaborate.

Ragan, who works in fund-rais­ing for Eastern Michigan Univer­sity, didn’t rule out the poesibili- ty but added that he’s happy working for EMU and being presi­dent of the Schoolcraft board.

Amann, a graduate of John Glenn High School, the Universi­ty of Michigan and the University of Detroit Law School, worked as an intern in Ford’s Washington office in the summer of 1978. He’s

Labor launches campaign to defeat Proposal ABig Labor is opposing Proposal

A, tbs March 16 ballot plan on school finance reform.

Both the General Board of the Michigan State AFL-CIO and the Executive committee of the Unit­ed Auto Worker* community ac­tion program called for voter, against Proposal A, whose key feature is a 2-cent increase in the state sale tax.

“The statutory plan was best for the men and women we repre

sent,” aaid Michigan State AFL CIO President Frank Garrison. The statutory plan, which fee tures a 1.4 percent hike in the in­come tax rate, will go into effect if voter* reject the sales tax plan.

“The board decided to oppose the ballot proposal because its impact on middle- and low-in come families, senior dtiiens and renter* would be worse than that of the statutory back-up plan,” said Garrison.

“Generally, the state AFL-CIO has opposed increases in the sales tax (aa the ballot plan would do) because middle- and low-income persons spend a higher percentage of their incomes on items subject to the ealee tax than do high-in­come persons."

While the statutory plan in­creases the state income rate from 4 6 to 6 percent, the plan also In­creases the personal exemption

from 12,100 to 63,000 (and up to 63.900 for senior dtisena). lessen ing the impact on low- and mid­dle-income individuals and (ami bee.

UAW-CAP said Proposal A would place an unfair burden on senior dtisena living on a fixed income.

“The ballot plan would raise a projected 6425 million from the

reel estate transfer lax But the highly cyclical nature of the rani estate market makes auch a tax an unstable source of funding for Michigan's schools." aaid UAW vice president Ernest Lofton.

Both labor groups objected that Proposal A would send 6300 mil­lion or more to the federal govern­ment because the sales tax isn't deductible from taxable income under the federal income tax.

s a l e s t a xB y T im R i c h a r dStaff Writer

Q. Gov. Engier keeps talking about the March IS ballot pro­posal as If only increasing the sales tax were involved. What else are we voting on?

A. Lots — Proposal A has more than 900 words and affects six sections of the Michigan Consti­tution.

Even if you read all the fine print, you won’t see many changes because they are in laws “tied barred” to passage of Proposal A.

Proposal A will:■ Raise the sales tax rate from 4 percent, where it has been since the 19608, to 6 percent.■ Constitutionally earmark the extra 2 cents for the school aid fund. The statutory plan ear­marks an income tax increase for the school aid fund, but Engier will argue that a future Legisla­ture could tamper with that. If Proposal A is passed, only voters may change the earmarking.■ Cap property assessment in­creases at the rate of inflation or 5 percent, whichever is less.■ Raise the real estate transfer tax to $2.11 per $1,000 of valua­tion. The Legislature passed a law raising it to $1.11 from the current 11 cents.■ Nullify a law raising the in­come tax rate to 6 percent from the current 4.6 percent, and lower that rate to 4.4 percent.■ Nullify the law raising the per­sonal exemption to $3,000 and keep it at $2,100.■ Nullify a law raising the single business tax rate to 2.75 percent and keep it at 2.35 percent.■ Roll down property taxes on homesteads from 12 mills under the statutory plan to 6 mills. Businesses and second homes would pay 24 mills under either plan. Under Proposal A, it takes a three-fourths vote of all legisla­tors to alter those rates.

Q. I live in one of those so- called “ rich” school districts that spends far more than 66.SOO per pupil. The state would reimburse us only to $6,500. To get the rest, we’d have to vote a “hold harmless” millage. Would Proposal A af­fect us?

A. Yes, quite a bit. Under the statutory plan, you could levy a supplemental property tax on both business and homestead property.

Proposal A would limit your district to a supplemental tax

• only on homestead property — until you reached 18 mills. After that point, the local tax would ap­ply to both kinds of property.

Q. When do all these tax changes take effect?

A. Most tax changes, under both the statutory and ballot plans, take effect May 1. Excep­tion: the real estate transfer tax would take effect next Jan. 1, 1995.

Q. I'm going to be In Florida March 15. When can I get an absentee ballot?

A. Right now, according to Sec­retary of State Richard Austin.

You may obtain an absentee ballot from your city or township clerk if you plan to be out of town on election day, if you are age 60 or older, or if you’re unable to vote without assistance.

; If you’re not registered, dead­line for registering is Monday, Feb. 14.

- him?A. You need an appointment

To make a play equipment project happen at the Plymouth Township Park, volunteers are needed.

"This project will benefit the entire communi­ty and the help of every citizen is needed,” said a project organizer, Marybeth Yanik.

A meeting to organize volunteers for the 15,000-square-foot wooden playscape project is scheduled for 8 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 1, at the town­ship annex building, Lilley and Ann Arbor roads.

Volunteers are needed to serve on the follow­ing committees: donated material, purchased material, children, public relations, fund-raising, tools, volunteers for building days, food for build­ing days, child care for building days, and special needs.

Those interested who can’t attend should call Kim Mizzi at 454-4829 or Yanik at 454-9614.

Hot s tu ffStore in Canton smokes the competition

Smoking store: Chuck Bross is bucking the trend toward non-smoking by operating a smok- ers-only store in Canton. He says there are plenty of customers.

■ A local m erch an t, h im ­self a non-sm oker, o p e r­a te s a S m oker’s E xpress s to re in C an ton to c a te r to sm okers. Sm oking, how ever, isn ’t a llow ed in the store .

By J o a n n e Ma l isz e w sk i S t a f f W h i t e r

Smokers, you know how it feels: isolation, stares, “no smoking” signs everywhere, and of course tha t feel­ing th a t you ju s t don’t count any ­more.

But take h ea rt. Now th e re ’s a place in Canton where you can feel a bit more at home. “We cater to the smoker. We are smoker-friendly. We won’t hassle you,” said Chuck Bross, co-owner of the Sm oker’s Express store on Ford Road, ju s t east of Canton Center Road.

The Canton store is one of three in the metropolitan area th a t caters expressly to the needs and habits of smokers, including cigarettes, cigars and pipes.

The store opened on Ford Road in August but has been in Canton since February 1993 at another location. “There’s definitely a niche for these type of stores,” Bross said. “What we are is a promotion store.”

That m eans Bross, who operates on volume, can pass along manufac­turers’ promotions - reduced prices - to smokers. “A lot of m anufacturers are giving gifts. It’s very competitive today because smokers are a minori­ty,” Bross said.

Smoker's Express offers smokers

not only a place where they a ren ’t the only ones asking for cigarettes, but a variety of domestic and foreign brands, as well as novelty cigarettes, some called “Go to Hell.” T hat’s not m entioning the chocolate cigars to be given when a baby is bom.

Bross is in the process of in ­stalling walk-in humidors for cigars. The store also ofTers all foreign and domestic cigarettes as well as smok­

ing paraphernalia, including cheV- ing tobaccos.

“Am erican-m ade c igare ttes are the most popular,” Bross said. “They say Phillip Morris has 50 percent of the market.”

But if th ere are c igare ttes th a t someone w ants and Bross doesn’t have, he’ll find them . Selection is the one thing Bross is determined to offer. “We’ve got the selection. Salem

m akes five d ifferen t kinds. Most stores don’t carry all of them.”

Believe it or not, Michigan is one of the top s ta tes for the num ber of residen ts who smoke, followed by sou thern s ta te s where tobacco is grown “A lot of people come in here and say they really enjoy cigarette smoking,” Bross said.

of students to Washington, O.C., each year, thanked Joyner and the foundation “for helping ua make possible ooe of our prime goals. This gives students a good sense of civics and government educa­tion.”

Retail business isn’t anything new for Bross. “It was an oppor­tunity that came along. It made sense. It was a niche no one had done.”

The idea of an outlet store for smokers began in Florida. Bross’ Canton store is now the oldest in the area, followed by one in Utica and Clinton Township. Canton was chosen because of the grow­ing population. “Our success is that we offer the customer a good price,” Bross said.

But Bross is also looking at the

state effort to increase cigarette taxes to help finance education. It definitely will have an effect on smokers and the cigarette busi­ness. A luxury habit is what smoking will become.

“The smoker is tired of being picked on. Why should they pay for it?” said Bross, a non-smoker.

Bross says some of his custom­ers say they will quit smoking. Others — no matter what the price — will continue. “If taxes go in effect, you’ll see a lot of stores go out of business. If they aren’t

selling on volume, they are sitting on expensive goods. The tobacco companies are powerful. But I think it will become very expen­sive to smoke."

Bross is convinced that with all the anti-smoking sentiments, in­cluding increased taxes, smokers need to get organized. “The smok­ing population needs to form some kind of group where have a voice,” Gross said.

He is certain that today’s younger smokers are more courte­ous than the older generation. “I

Boosters eye ways to expand funding for state parksgeneral fund support of state parks.

MUCC’. idea « u shoved said*

tug permits have gone from $2 to 16 a night to 16 to $14.

■ Last year, DNR officially ahut down 23 state forest (rustic) campgrounds, many of which had been unused because they were so weed grown. The campgrounds had contaminated walla or needed new outhouses, access roads, bridgsa or camper pads.

By Tut Richardn trr W arras

Politically. Cans of the state parks have their team together.

Financially, they have yet to map out how to build a $700 mil­lion endowment fond that will free state parks from depending on the legislative budget process ' “1 am heartened that our Legis­lature is providing the necessary leadership in this state parks ini­tiative,” Joey M. Spano, a mem­ber of the state Natural Resources Commission, said at a State Capi­tol news conference recently.

Spano, the West Bloomfield Township parks and recreation director, has been on the NRC for two years as an appointee of Gov. John Engler.

2 groups push itMichigan United Conservation

Clubs started the push in Janu­ary 1993 for better financial und­erpinning for the 100 state parks.

MUCC’s plan: a penny hike in the sales tax for one year to set up an endowment fond whose inter­est earnings would replace tax money from the general fond.

Spano said MUCC and Michi­gan Recreation and Parks Associ­ation, of which she is a member, “raised awareness of the fact that our state parks were deteriorating. But we were not going to be able to do this on our own.”

MUCC’s plan would have pro­duced $15 million a year in inter­est revenue, more than double the

state parks should be funded only by user foee or sold off.

Alley stated the prevailing view in Lansing — state parks have been financially and physically neglected.

Nevertheless, parks attendance has been on an up trend from 20million to 26 million over the past 18 years, with some variation due to weather.

Examples of deterioration:■ Park staffing Is down from 700 in 1976 to a bit more than 600 currently. Some managers have been assigned two or more parks.■ The Legislature has increased user foes faster than inflation. Daily vehicle permits have gone from $2 in 1960 to $3.60 last year and $4 this year. Annual parmita have gone from $7 to $18. Camp-

Former Gov. James Blanchard budgeted part of the land truat money for water pollution projects under the strategic fond, his pet economic development plan. Sen­ate Joint Resolution E, sponsored by Paul Wartner, R Portage, would end that “diversion.”

If approved by voters next No­vember, SJR E would send $10 million back to the land trust, put $6 million into the endowment fond and send $5 million into the parks budget for repairs and in­frastructure improvements.

Speakers at the news confer­ence were unclear how the endow­ment goal of $700 million would be reached after the first $45 mil­lion shot.

Other bills would:■ Create a State Parks Founda­tion for parks projects (SB 952 — Ehlers). It would be similar to college foundations and the Oak­land Parks Foundation.■ Allow income taxpayers to use part of their refunds to buy annu­al state park vehicle entry permits (SB 951 — Ehlers).■ Start an adopt a park program in which businesses and civic groups could volunteer to work on projects at parks they select (no bill number yet). It would be sim­ilar to the Transportation Depart­ment’s adopt a highway program.■ Provide liability protection for volunteers (no number yet).Deterioration

A handful of libertarians say

preoccupation with school fond ing and property taxes. With the Dec. 24 agreement on school tax­es, lawmakers are free to take on — and take over — the parks ini­tiative.

It’s a crucial year because 1994 is the 75th anniversary of the founding of the State Parks Com­mission. It is also an election year. MUCC has been harshly critical of Engler on parks fund­ing and reorganization of the Nat­ural Resources Commission.

Plan unveiledLawmakers unveiled a 12-part

legislative package to improve state parks.

The key measure is taking $40 million from sale of the Accident Fund, a state-owned workers com­pensation insurance business for 80 years. Engler won a bruising battle last year to sell it. His 1995 budget message in December pro­posed that $40 million would be the first step toward the $700 mil­lion endowment fond. House Bill 5064, sponsored by Alley, would do that.

Next would be a constitutional amendment to stop a $20 million “diversion” of Michigan Land Trust revenues into the Michigan Strategic Fund. Voters approved the land trust in the 1980s, send­ing revenues from oil and gas

Praise pours in for retiring representative8J51KS B. Ecmtduw

Union man: Here Ford is shown with then-Michigan Gov. James Blanchard (at left) and United Auto Workers President Douglas Fraser (at right). Ford, whose father was killed in an auto plant, has been a strong supporter of labor.

Aim officials and residents arc reminded of a lot of food things that U.S Rep William Ford. D- Ypeilanti Township, has done in the last 30 years.

Ford, who ia chairman of the powerful Committee on Educa­tion and Labor, announced hie re­tirement from Congress Tuesday on the House floor.

“To my colleagues, thank you for your friendship, pour support and the opportunity to realise the goal of my freshman year chair­manship of the committee I love.”

Jim Plakss served on Ford's staff in 1966 and later worked with Ford as the Garden City mayor. “1 say this real respectful­ly. He’s a true liberal,” Plakas said. “He has always fought hard for the working man. I disagreed with him on some issues, but overall he has done a good job. Whether you agreed with him or not. Bill always did his home­work.”

Ford has served in Congress since 1965, working his way up to the chairmanships of the Com­mittee on Post Office and Civil Service (1981-91) and the Com­mittee on Education and Labor

reer with the presidency of Lyn­don Johnson, and I am proud to have been bare during the enact­ment of many ambitious Great Society programs. 1 will leave dur­ing the presidency of Bill Clinton, whose proposals renew the John­son legacy. Truly, I have seen the pendulum awing,” Ford said.

Ford’s 13th Congressional Dis­trict includes the Observer com­munities of Canton and Plym­outh townships, Plymouth, West- land, Garden City and the southeast quadrant of Livonia.

In announcing his retirement. Ford aaid: “Time has anuck up on me. As 1 approach my 67th birth­day, it ia time for me to focus on my remaining years. I want to spend more time doing the things I enjoy and concentrating on my family, whoae sacrifices, because of my career, have been immense and often painful.”

Always a friend of the United Auto Workers union. Ford drew praise from UAW President Owen Bieber, who issued a press release saying; “On all the tough issues over the years, ordinary working people could count on Bill Ford fighting on their side, no matter what the odds. His commitment, perseverance, and effective leader­ship will definitely be missed in the U.S. House next year.”

Michigan State AFL-CIO Pres­

ident Frank Garrison said: “Billy Ford's retirement ia and news far Michigan workers He is the beet congressman that workers ia this state have aver had.”

Bill Joyner, director of the Can­ton Community Foundation, for­mer county commissioner and Democratic party activist in Plymouth Township, aaid Ford has sacrificed a lot to serve his constituents and should be hon­ored for the great job he's done.

“I’m going to miss Congress­man Bill Ford, and I think we should take a look at the success of anyone who has been able to survive the political wars, and we should be grateful for the support (that Ford) has given this district. Whether you agreed or disagreed with him, you knew where be stood.”

U.S. Sen. Carl Levin called Ford’s retirement “a stunning loss for the state of Michigan. The people of Michigan and the na­tion have loet a great leader in the fight to give workers a fair shake in the labor market and improve education. He was a tough negoti­ator who wouldn’t sacrifice princi­ples for short-term gains.”

Gary Corbin, Michigan chair­man of the Democratic party, said Ford’s retirement “is a loss that will be experienced in very reel terms by every resident of Michi­gan’s 13th Congressional District, the state of Michigan and, indeed.

Said Retch; “(Ford) has dedi­cated his career to protecting the people who often get overlooked in our society. Him never-ending advocacy on their behalf will not easily be replicated.”

Before Ford entered the Con­gress in 1966, he was Taylor Township justice of the panes from 1965 to 1967, Melvindale city attorney from 1967 to 1969, Taylor Township attorney from 1967 to 1963, and state senator from 1963 to 1965. Ford was also a delegate to the 1960 Michigan constitutional convention.

Historic districtCreation would help businesses

P lymouth city and township residents should support the creation of an his­toric district in downtown Plymouth.

Such a designation would help en­hance property values not only in downtown Plymouth, but also in surrounding areas. Also, it would help the downtown area retain its char­acter.

To show their support, residents should a t­tend a public hearing at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 2, in Plymouth City Hall. At the meeting, the city’s seven-member historic district review committee will present a draft report on the plan.

The committee report tries to address the po­tential concerns of some downtown building owners over restrictions on improvements. Such concerns are valid. Creation of an historical dis­trict should set a direction, not put unrealistic restrictions on projects.

As Plymouth Mayor Doug Miller said: “The purpose of the historic district commission won't be to dictate the design specifications.The intent is to work with property owners to ensure that work that’s done fits in with the historic character of the district, to benefit all property owners.”

To us the best that can come out of the public hearing is a common direction in which busi­ness owners and nearby residents can go. Es­tablishing that direction early on can aid busi­ness and home owners in making plans for the future.

Also, historic designation could attract busi­ness people to create new businesses in the

downtown area. One local businessman has had plans for years to remodel a business office into an old-fashioned ice cream parlor. Historic des­ignation could help.

However, an historic district isn’t the only answer for downtown Plymouth. Prompt elimi­nation of the city’s parking credit system also would be a much-needed boost for business.

The parking credit system forces new busi­nesses trying to locate in Plymouth to buy park­ing spaces that often don’t exist. The system has kept new restaurants from locating in thecity.

Historic designation would attract the atten­tion of restaurant operators, but the parking credit system will need to change before there would be any move to open a business.

Creating an historic district is an important part of encouraging business growth and devel­opment in the city of Plymouth, but it’s not the only factor.

Residents and business owners should attend the Feb. 2 public hearing and have their voices heard about the direction of downtown.

School can alter attitudesT hey say education is the answer.

So why, at Cranbrook-Kingswood — a nationally renowned private school in

Bloomfield Hills that prides itself on its college preparatory program in literature, science and the arts — were four black students subjected to snowballs and racial epithets?

Why? Because racism begins at home and the seeds of prejudice are sown long before children go off to school — Cranbrook-Kingswood or elsewhere.

Cran brook prides itself on being multicultur­al and ethnically diverse. Racism isn’t tolerat­ed, officials say, and the black co-president of the senior class agrees: “(Racism) is probably less prevalent here than anywhere.”

But Cranbrook is an insular, secluded com­munity, despite including students from 20 countries, other states and many of our subur­ban communities, and despite the fact that it has an exemplary, longstanding minority schol­arship program — Horizons Upward Bound.

And maybe that is where it is making its mis­take. Racism can and does occur everywhere — in the suburbs and in the city. Despite its excel­lent intentions, Cranbrook is no exception.

Why? Because racism begins at home.In a letter sent to parents Jan. 17, a school

official talked of disappointment and “a strong desire to want to have everything return to nor­mal.”

Cranbrook officials, as well as parents and students, must ask what normal means to them. We hope it doesn’t mean they are willing to tolerate underground hurtful, harmful atti­tudes for the sake of a false sense of peace.

That's why the announced disciplining of students involved in the incident — a week’s

suspension, probation and counseling — doesn’t go far enough.

These students should also perform commu­nity service in a situation where they are able to put aside the myths and stereotypes they learned, yes, at home.

In addition, student leaders should now work with administrators to produce the fundamen­tal, even if slow, changes needed in suburban attitudes.

Multicultural commissions have formed in Farmington, Birmingham, Livonia and South- field.

Cranbrook — unzip your cocoon. Let your students — perhaps led by their existing Afri­can-American Awareness Association — work with those commissions.

It is a privilege to attend a school like Cran­brook that has turned out graduates who have contributed to the leadership of this region, and in some cases the wider world.

Students who attend schools like this have a duty to contribute to the betterment of society. And schools like this have a duty to show them how.

Because education is the answer.

Tough teaching

O ne of my family’s favorite sayings is from Benjamin Franklin: “Criticism is a form of autobiography.”

Last week I was fortunate to review a recent survey of Michigan high school students, con­ducted by the Michigan Department of Educa­tion with Dr. James Phelps, deputy superin­tendent of the education department.

The purpose of my letter is to ask everyone who possibly thinks that “teaching is easy” to consider the following survey results:■ Almost 45 percent of the students questioned admitted to riding in a car when they knew the driver was alcohol-impaired during the previous month.■ 23 percent said they had carried a gun, knife or club to school in the preceding 30 days.■ 29 percent claimed they have seriously con­sidered suicide in the past year.■ 38.5 percent reported having five or more con­secutive drinks of alcohol in the previous month, including 29.3 percent of ninth graders and 53.3 percent of high-school seniors.■ 63.3 percent of students surveyed have had sex, including 45.8 percent of ninth graders and 81 percent of high-school seniors. Twenty-six percent of the students have had sex with four or more partners in their lifetime.

The next time we hear someone criticize pub­lic education or teachers, let’s remember the re­sults of thiB survey.

Complaint questioned

I had to write to you to express my utter dis­belief of the complaint lodged against the Canton Police department because of their

response to the two 17-year-old boys that volun­tarily left home.

The parents’ criticism of the police — for treating their sons as adults (which by law they are) — is an example of blaming others for the actions of their kids.

They should be angry, but their anger should focus on the people that were truly responsible for their kids disappearing - and that was the direct and sole responsibility of the two young men.

I have yet to read in any of the published stories in your paper and other accounts that the parents are holding their kids responsible for putting their families, friends, classmates and the community as a whole through a terri­ble ordeal. .

I've yet to see that the kids have expressed any remorse or acknowledged the fact that many people donated time and energy to look for them because those people were worried ano concerned for their safety.

What I do see is parents teaching their kids that they don’t have to be responsible for their choices as long as you can find other people to blame it on, no matter how ridiculous it may seem.

The parents are saying, “don’t look at your own choices or even consider the effect of your choices on others. Just do what you want to do and if it doesn't work out, find someone to blame.”

Prison no answor

I n the Detroit News/Free Press Sunday edi­tion, January 16, a front page article caught my attention. The article was titled “En-

gler: End parole for most violent criminals.”The article began by stating more money

would be needed to build and run prisons. To paraphrase, crime, serious crime, is out of con­trol, and in order to correct this ill of our soci­ety, Gov. John Engler and perhaps the state leg­islature has decided to really punish habitual and serious criminals.

It would seem to me that Engler would realize that the $23,000 dollars we spend now on each inmate, a year, in our state penal system might be enough. During Engler’s tenure as governor, the state of Michigan has built six new prisons. Six new prisons have not deterred people from being unkind. Why does the governor think building some more prisons will work?

Just maybe, Engler, there is another way. A way that is good over the long term. Perhaps money could be designated to communities to establish programs that address the issues of crime, conflict and violence in a preventative manner. President Bill Clinton is attempting to establish economic empowerment zones in the country. Why not peacekeeping zones? Teach a community about peacekeeping, especially our children. Give our children the tools they need to be kind and thoughtful human beings. Teach them about conflict, and ways to solve it peace­fully.

Before you make more prisons, Gov. Engler, think of children. Think of the future, not just the next election. Help children become peacemakers, not with more prisons, but with money and programs that will help to rid our world of crime.

More prisons hasn't worked yet. Maybe it's time to try something else.

P.S. If anyone is interested in discussing the concept of Peacekeeping Zones, let me know. It can be a lot more productive and satisfying than just complaining about how violent our world has become.

PONfTS OF VKW

Economic realities add up toL ike Iota of folke stuck home with

the flu, I was seduced by day­time television. Yes, I admit it, I

fill victim to Oprah. Sally, Vicki. Joan. Phil, Montel, even Paula Poundstone.

Forgetting talk show sensationalism for a minute, and the fact that some of the gueets might be actors or impost­ers, I tuned into a Montel Williams segment — the day's controversial sub­ject: female exotic dancers. I was hooked!

The cast of characters was colorful indeed: one topless exotic dancer, kind of a Heidi Fleiss look-alike; one peep show performer, complete with mask; the club owner, a suave-looking grand- fatherly type and proud sponsor of the young ladies in their “careers." Then there were two 50-some year-old ladies, who represented the moral right and who harshly judged the entertainers and labeled the club owner a "pimp.”

And to provide insight, the requisite psychologist, who viewed the dancers as victims of circumstances and em­pathized. Montel, hip guy that he is, saw nothing wrong with the career choices of the entertainers. The masked lady was merely trying to eke out a living and put herself through

law school. The exotic dancer was mar­ried but had an understanding hus­band who did not mind her job one bit. Both women claimed to “eryoy” their work and felt that it was harmless. H- m m m . . •

There was no resolution, of course, as per TV talk shows. But lots of emo­tion and anger were roused and the two older ladies were adamantly ticked off and called prudes by some of the more enlightened folks. The word “moral” was thrown around a lot.

Being an engaged and critical viewer, I felt a major hidden point was missed while the guests pointed fingers and preached about morality. It's really an economic battle, not a moral one. And fear, precisely fear of abandonment, both economic and emotional, are the real reasons the older women were ex­pressing moral outrage.

What people do not realize is that pom upholds the patriarchal structure. Where does morality go when a woman is poor or economically deprived? Out the window. Statistics tell us that about 90 percent of women today are in dead-end jobs. So, “career” is a mis­nomer, whether you are a secretary or an exotic dancer.

----

P at McNamara

Lots of women are in servile jobs where a man is telling them what to do and gets a cut of her pay and/or makes 20 times what she does. Does that make most women prostitutes in some form? Maybe. Women are kept eco­nomically deprived and that inevitably keeps the pom industry going. If wom­en were paid a living wage, the pom/ exotic dimeer/prostitution industry might wane.

Another reason for fear of these en­tertainers is that voyeurism is frighten­ing to women. A man can be “sexual” and yet avoid romance and intimacy with a woman whose job it is to be an

object. He doeen't have to keep her pro­tected and in his heart, or knew her in­timately. Take a ride down Bight Mile and look at the proliferation of toping bars in the Detroit area — a guy doesn't need a wife. He can eat Cast food and have a sexual outlet at a top­less joint and avoid the financial com­mitment and intimacy altogether.

Sadly, there are even shuttles to transport men from dub to club. Natu­rally, any dependent woman, young or old, fears losing her man to this form of temptation and does not want it avail­able for him to be exposed to.

The year 2000 is both the turn of the century and a new millennium. Same as when we moved to the industrial age in 1900, there is much turmoil and warring between the sexes. Obsessive violent behavior is rampant. Men and women are failing to connect. Crazy stories abound: The sags of the Bob- bits; the young woman mutilated and in a wheelchair because her boyfriend ran her down with his van.

And look at the personal ads these days — there’s more men seeking wom­en and what they want is a fantasy that is perpetuated by media and pom im­ages, not what nature has to offer.There is a refusal to accept what wom­

Uon of grave danger. Taka a look atwhat's happening: Gun sales to i are booming A company la I cisco is doing a brisk business Belling sexual aids to women. There is even afemale version of a blow up doll — ex­cept this one is in the form of a mala that rides alongside a woman in her oar so she appears not to be alone.

Pull it all together and what does it mean? Could there be an undeclared war against women, as Susan Faludi suggests? Have women made progress, or is there a backlash? Read Moll Flanders sometime and figure if any­thing has changed drastically from 18th century London.

Women are fending for themselves for a reason. Many are unprotected, underpaid, used, unloved, in no one’s heart. What else would you call a group of people behaving in this paranoid way? War refugees? Victims, maybe?

Nuisance suits make unnecessary work for courtsBefore the anti-government lobby

screams for an across-the-board tax cut, I have five words of ad­

vice:Tell it to the courts.Gov. John Engler boasts he has

squeezed $2 billion out of state spend­ing — turning a $1.8 billion deficit into a $300 million surplus. He pared or hacked at natural resources, commerce, labor, the ombudsman, social services, state police, regulators of professions

Everything but the courts.We’re getting more judges this year

on the Court of Appeals, allegedly the most overworked body of its type in the republic.

Consider three true stories:

Ray and Chris set fire one night to a neighbor’s bam. There was evidence they intended to rescue the horses in­side to look like heroes, but numerous horses were destroyed.

Ray’s parents sued Auto-Owners and Chris’ parents sued Pioneer State Mu­tual, their respective homeowners' in­surers, for defense costs. You and I

might laugh the case out of court, but not the lawyers.

The policies had similar language that excludes liability for injury or damage “expected or intended” by the insured. The lawyers hassled over whether the boys expected to hurt any livestock inside the bam.

Tuscola Circuit Judge Patrick Reed Joslyn and appellate Judges John Shepherd, Gary McDonald and Janet Neff all arrived at “the only reasonable conclusion . . . both also must have expected that whatever was inside of the bam would be burned.”

The courts ruled in favor of the in­surance companies.

The losers are the taxpayers who pay for the courts. (Mallak v. Auto-Owners CA 141596 and 142824 decided in Oc­tober 1993).

Inez drove her pickup truck to a coin-operated self-serve car wash in Harrison. Walking to the change ma­chine for coins, she slipped and fell on a patch of ice and was injured.

ing out of “ownership, operation, main­tenance or use of a motor vehicle” (ital­ics added).

Clare Circuit Judge Kurt Hansen and appellate Judges John Shepherd and Donald Holbrook Jr. agreed the

term “maintenance” was to be liberally construed and that Inez was entitled to no-fault personal injury benefits be­cause she was injured while attempting to wash her vehicle. (Gendron v. State Farm, CA 152060, decided October 1993)

Joe pleaded guilty to a drug delivery charge. For pleading guilty, he got a year in jail, five years on probation and an order to pay restitution of $20 which the undercover cop spent on Joe’s drugs. Get that: The guy pleaded guilty.

So Joe appeals with the argument that “government does not qualify as a victim to whom restitution may be or­dered to be paid" under the Crime Vic­tims Rights Act.

Appellate Judges Janet Neff, Gary McDonald and William Murphy up­held Berrien Circuit Judge Casper

G rath wold's order of restitution, saying he “had broad discretion in imposing appropriate conditions (of probation) under the particular circumstances of

this case.” (People v. Thompson, CA 151815, decided October 1993)

Losers: state taxpayers who have to pay the appellate judges and Berrien County taxpayers, whose prosecutor had to research and submit a 35-page brief.

These cases drive home the other­wise humdrum press release of the Professional Insurance Agents of Michigan. “Legal expenses are driving up the cost of auto insurance” and, I would add, homeowners insurance and appellate costs for prosecutors.

Even with reforms (cuts) in the auto insurance law due to take effect in April, 1 doubt we’ll see a dent in the taxpayers’ court costs.

Or in our overall taxes.

Anxious legislators muddle state diploma requirements PLAY THE EA$Y MONEY GAME

T his year’s MEAP test scores are causing a big stir.

Why? This time around, they count for something.

Starting with the class of 1994. students must achieve specific levels on the Michigan Educa­tional Assessment Program test in order to receive a state-endorsed diploma when they leave high school. Up to now, the only specific content that could be validated by a graduation certificate was that a student was docile enough to have stuck it out in school for 12 years.

But beginning this year, employers can dis­tinguish between ordinary (meaningless) diplo­mas and state-endorsed ones. Originally, to qualify for a state-endorsed diploma, students had to score at least 60 on the math test, at least 300 on one of two passages in the reading test, and at least reach 16 specific objectives on the 11th grade science test.

That seems tough, but fair enough, if one takes into consideration that the law offers kids multiple chances to pass the test and requires their teachers to identify deficiencies and offer additional help.

But our legislative leaders, ever anxious not to offend, have watered down even those mini­mal standards in a little-noticed law signed by Gov. John Engler in September.

Graduates in 1994.1996 and 1996 who are un­able to meet state requirements on all three test subjects will receive, instead of a state sticker on the diploma, one ribbon for each area of achievement. So if a student fails the MEA P standard in math but passes in reading and sci- snee, the graduate gets two ribbons attached to the state medallion sticker. Under the previous rules, the same student would not have received any diploma endorsement from the state.

Of course, our masters in Lansing can t even eater down education standards without caus­ing bureaucraticconfiision. . . . . . . .

Schools now must keep lists of each student s accomplishments in each area fe te d by MBAP to order the stickers and ribbons from the corn-

elected by the e ta f to supply such

And after 1997, the basis for the diploma en­dorsements will not be the MEAP (which has been around since 1970) but an entirely | test now being developed by the state Depart­ment of Education. Instead of all multiple- choice questions, the test will involve questions requiring written responses.

So the graduates of 1997 can look forward to showing prospective employers their diplomas, complete with one state endorsement medallion and up to four — count ’em, four — ribbons, one each for math, science, reading and writing.

I suppose now the big question being debated in Lansing is how to make the sticker and the ribbons so they can’t be counterfeited. But these days, even that counts as progress.

Livonia Boxing Club: Is it down for the count? J. The Livonia Boxing Chib, long i tuple in the aroa for amateur and profees ional fighter*. la about to be left out in the cold.

Mounting financial burden* may put the LBC’e newly reno­vated 5,000-square-foot gym, lo­cated off Middlebelt just north of Plymouth Road, down for the count

LBC director Paul Soucy ia hoping local bueineaeee or a “George Steinbrenner-type do­nor” can atep into the ring and help eraae nearly $11,000 owed in back-rent and utility bills.

“Our back la to the rupee,” Soucy aaid. “And I’m juat aick over it becauae I’ve apent count- lets hours taking kids to shows and tournament* all over the country. We’ve been in exiatence 15 yean and we’ve put so much work into the program that it would be a shame if this thing doesn’t stay open.”

According to Soucy, R.D. Man­agement of New York, which leases the back side of the build­ing (formerly Duffs Cafeteria) to the LBC, is threatening to pro­ceed with an eviction notice by the end of the month.

“We’re classified a 501(c) non­profit organization, but it may be too far gone to renegotiate our lease,” Soucy said. “Our lease

runs about $2^00 par month. Than thee? are the utilities like electricity ($460 par month), gaa ($600 par month), liability insur­ance ($600) and tha phone bill from Michigan Ball ($66-60 par month).

Bingo not enoughTo keep tha facility afloat, tha

LBC and Soucy derive expenaes from a weakly bingo night, which runs 6:30-10:30 p.m. each Tues­day at the GLA Hall, at Merri- man and Cherry Hill in Weed and.

Other income to help defray costs cornea from amateur boxing or kick-boxing ahowa Soucy elag- ea periodically at the LBC.

“Our take-in from the bingo ia down from laat year,” Soucy said. “It was $31,000 last year, but now it’s around $26,000.”

Soucy began the LBC program with the help of the city of Livo­nia.

The LBC initially rooted at the Jackson and Jefferson community centers. The city of Livonia then offered Soucy the opportunity to relocate his gym in the basement of Fire Station Houae No. 5, on Middlebelt just south of Seven Mile.

Not purely local“It was a city building, so it was

rent-free and we had no liability,” Soucy said. “The problem was

that wa had to have 60 percent residents to constitute it aa a community program."

After a cool recaption from fire­fighters, duo to traffic by boxers in and out Station House No. 6, Soucy decided to atari hie own gym.

“We’ve moved four times and I was hoping this would be tha laat move,” ha said. “11m program la open to anyone and anybody in the community. Wa taka people from all over the metro area.

“I believe we took a lot of kids off tha street. Boxing builds aelf- confidence. We aent three kids to the Olympic Triala. And we’ve had one surgeon, two dentists and a couple of attorneys come through our program.”

Soucy’s program produced Olympic Triala competitors Mike Dardini and Craig Payne, along with the late Kermit Fitzpatrick, the state trooper who waa gunned down in the line of duty in 1991.

Laat summer, Soucy realized his personal dream by moving into the new facility at Middle- belt and Plymouth.

Nearly $20,000 in renovations were made through volunteer work and independent contracta paid out by Soucy.

“We painted, rewired and in­stalled new lights. We did the cement work for the floor and put in new carpeting. We put in doors and windows. The place didn’t have a bathroom. We’d alao like to finish off the locker rooms some day.”

Steve Bond, 24, of Westland ia a regular at Soucy’s gym.

“If this wasn’t around. I’d have a lot more tima oo my hands,** Bond said. “I’d rather bo in thagym instead of being In front of a TV. It kaapa you in shape and keeps you out of trouble.

“I’ve put a lot of time and hard work into this gym. We hit the streets for months getting money to start this place. 1 was here when we poured the concrete.”

Open to publicThe LBC is open to the public

6:30-9:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, aa well as 9 a m. to noon on Saturdays. (Tha gym ia closed on Sundays.)

Membership dues for young­sters ages 10-16 are $10 (month­ly), $60 (semi-annually) and $90 (annually). Adults pay $16 per month, $80 semi-annually or $150 per year. Non-member profession­al boxers can work out for $5 dai­ly-

“It’s a very reasonable fee for a gym,” aaid Chuck Fecay, an ex­boxer and trainer, who now judges amateur and professional fighta. “I’ve been to Kronk Gym in the city many times, and I’ve been to Jackie Kallen’s gym in Redford. But those gyms have only a cou­ple of heavy bags, but this place has several. The equipment they have here is outstanding.”

His son, Donald Fecay, 33, drives in weekly with his three sons and twin brother all the way from New Boston to work out at the LBC. Hia twin brother, Ran­dy, is also a regular.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve

It’s better than any gym I’ve been around.

“I bring my three boys in be­cause it’s good for confidence. It keeps you in shape and hopefully

U gives you tha discipline to ways work out. Thare are just

‘couch potatoes’ out thar Fecay, who works tor a

“Places like McDonald’s, small business in the area, become a sponsor,” Fecay “They could buy a spot on wall and advertise their business.

“I think it would be smart. This program takas kids off tha.' streets. If you don’t want kids top break into your business, you need to support this.”

Laat Thursday, Soucy had more than 20 fighter* sparring and training in the gym.

We had 30 to 40 Wednesday night of all different ages. We’ve been pretty foil lately. When It gets colder for some reason, we get a lot more interest.”

But if the program ahuU down, boxers like Bond, who works aa e warehouseman, will feel a huge void.

Salem shines

T heir team score w u far from their beet — in fact, it waa the lowest recorded by the Plymouth Salem Rocks this season (130.6

points). But they won easily enough Friday in a non-league gymnastics meet at Brighton, and they did it with a revamped lineup.

Zoe Yockey won the all-around for Salem, total­ing 34.36. Kristen Kosik was second (33.8).

Yockey won the balance beam (8.45), was sec­ond in the vault (8.3) and uneven parallel bars (8.6), and third in the floor exercise (9.25). Kosik captured the vault (8.85) and tied Melissa Hopson for first in the floor exercise (9.3). Hopson was also third in the bars (8.3).

Sarah Makins was the Rocks’ other winner, in the bars (8.75). She finished fourth in the floor(9.15).

nine each, with Gundry leading with seven ace serves. Johnston had seven kills and Kim Sheldon contributed four aces. Koch had 26 assists to kills.

“This was a big victory for us,” said Gilles. Asked if his team is playing as well as he had hoped, he answered, “I think it’s better. We’re hitting better than I thought we would."

With preseason predictions crum­bling, Gilles faced another — perhaps more difficult — question. Can Salem do what it has never done before? Can the Rocks win the WLAA, tourna­ment and all?

The answer would have to be yes, for now. But there are a lot of teams gunning for you, aren’t they Brian? “I think they are," he answered, relish­ing the thought a bit.

The choice* had been made in preaeaaon, by thoce who should know. Most who knew Western Lakes Activi­ties Association volleyball figured Farmington Harri­son to be the team to beat. Among the challengers was Plymouth Salem.

B y C .J . RisakS t a f f W r it e r

At least Farmington Harrison made a statement.

The Hawks didn’t win Wednesday night’s volleyball showdown at Plym­outh Salem. But they at least dammed the swelling tide that was threatening to flood, swallowing ev­erything in its path.

That’s how good Salem had been playing. Since being upset in the final of the Plymouth Festival Tourna­ment Jan. 15, the Rocks had not lost. And we’re not talking matches here; we mean games.

When they swept past Harrison in Wednesday’s first two games (15-3, 15-4 were the scores), it ran their con­secutive-game win streak to 20.

They had the chance to keep it going. The Hawks were playing much tougher in the third game, but Salem had used a five-point serve from Erin Koch to pull out to a 9-5 lead. The Rocks eventually built that to a 13-8 advantage.

Then Harrison’s co-captain, Aman­da Ault, stepped up to serve. Seven- straight points followed, including a couple of aces and some Ault kills, and the Hawks had won a game, 15- 13.

It didn’t make a difference in the victory. Salem reassumed its domi­nant mode in the fourth game, with newcomer Kelly Johnston — a junior transfer from Livonia Ladywood — serving the final eight points in a 15-4 triumph that gave the Rocks a three- games-to-one Western Lakes Activi­ties Association victory.

Harrison had been the choice to win the WLAA prior to the season. No more. It was the Hawks' second-

straight loss to Salem; last Saturday the Rocks played what their coach, Brian Gilles, called “the best match a Salem team’s ever played” in routing Harrison 15-2, 15-2 in the Plymouth Varsity Tournament semifinals.

Wednesday’s victory improved the Rocks’ record to 21-4-2 overall and to 3-0 in the WLAA. Harrison is 21-3-4 overall, 2-1 in the WLAA.

“These are the best we’ve seen in the Western Lakes,” said Harrison coach Ron Shortt of a Salem team that played without its best big play­er, Paula Dombrowski, who was out with the flu. “Then there are four of us in a group right behind them."

Asked what led to their downfall, Shortt was blunt: “I think our kids were kind of intimidated. They’re not used to seeing the quick attack (Sa­lem uses).

“We weren’t moving to their hits very well, and if you stand and wait against them, they’ll mash you.”

Although Ault is considered their top player, her effectiveness was neu­tralized most of the match. “We didn't get the ball to Amanda the way we want to,” admitted Shortt. “But it was because of what they were doing. They wouldn’t let us.”

What Salem was doing started with some very formidable serving. “We have tough servers,” said Gilles. “And they don’t only serve it hard, but they’ll serve it into the short mid­dle, for example. They’re smart.”

It certainly made a difference. The Rocks had 17 service aces in the match and did not make a service er­ror in the first two games.

Jamey Viau, the team’s captain and only senior, led with 10 kills. Karen Gundry and Shellye Sills had

Rocks rip H awks in showdown

Canton can’t stop RocketsB y N kal Zipser S t a f f W r it e r

Tony Goins scored eight of Westland John Glenn's final 12 points Tuesday, lifting the host Rockets to a 66-56 boys basket­ball win.

Goins’ outburst in the final three minutes broke open a 54-52 game and helped Glenn stay tied with Plymouth Salem atop the Western Lakes Activities Associ­ation with a 4-0 record.

The Rockets are 8-1 overall.Goins, a 6-foot-4 senior for­

ward, spent most of the night con­centrating on shutting down Can­ton forward Matt Paupore. His of­fense suffered as a result, but came alive in the game’s deciding moments.

“I knew my game would even­tually come around,” he said. “Coach (Mike Schuette) wanted me to keep Paupore down, and that's what I planned to do.”

Goins held Paupore to 12 points — nine under his average — as Paupore made five of his 15 shots. Goins finished with a game-high 20 points, nine re­bounds and five blocked shots.

"Tony did a nice job tonight,” Schuette said. “His focus all week was on shutting down Matt, and he held him in check.”

The Chiefs (6-5 overall and 2-2 in the WLAA) weren’t pushovers, however, as they rallied from an 11 -point, second-quarter deficit to

■ BASKETBALLtake the lead in the third quarter.

Trailing 32-25 entering the third, Canton opened the half on a 10-2 tear and took a 37-34 ad­vantage behind consecutive bas­kets from Ron Hunter. The soph­omore finished with a team-high 16 points off the bench.

“We wanted to come out in the third and pick up our defense and take better shots,” said senior guard Ted Docks, who finished with 15 points and had four steals in the third.

The key to the turn of events was Canton’s swarming full-court pressure, which resulted in seven Glenn turnovers.

“Our full-court pressure de­fense really bothered them and turned the game in our favor for a while,” said Canton coach Dave Van Wagoner.

Another factor to Canton's comeback was the Chiefs' work on the boards. After being outre- bounded 14-6 in the first half, Canton held a 17-16 advantage in the second half.

“I don't think there was much difference in the way we were playing in the third, as much as Canton coming out and forcing us into mistakes,” Schuette said. “I knew they would be tough and scrappy, and they were hustling

everywhere. They also started doing a good job boxing out and doing a better job on the boards.”

Leading 40-37 with 42 seconds remaining in the third, the Chiefs got sloppy and committed three consecutive turnovers, which al­lowed the Rockets to tie the game at 40-40 heading into the final quarter.

Glenn took control early in the fourth and took a 52-46 lead after tip-ins by Guy Rucker and Savon Hubbard. Two short jumpers by Hunter closed the margin to 52- 50.

The lead was extended to four after two Tariq Home free throws. The Rockets converted eight of 10 free throws in the fourth and 15 of 24 for the game. The Chiefs were six of 11 at the line.

After Canton narrowed the gap to 54-52 with 3:11 left, Goins came alive.

First, Goins tipped in a missed shot, then scored on a breakaway slam. The senior forward then stole a Canton pass and fed Hub­bard, who scored on an uncontest­ed layup to give Glenn a 60-62 lead with 2:02 remaining.

Goins added a basket in be­tween two Paupore driving layups and later finished the scoring on a monster slam.

Rucker added 15 points and 13 rebounds for Glenn, which also got 12 points from Hubbard and 11 from Brent Washington.

Rocks record 8th-consecutive winFor the second-straight game,

Plymouth Salem turned in a less than-spectacular performance.

But the Rocks keep winning, running their streak to eight- straight with Tuesday’s 66-61 homecourt basketball victory over Livonia Franklin. The win pushed their record to 8-1 overall, 4-0 in the Western Lakes Activi­ties Association; Franklin la 4-4 overall, 2-2 in the WLAA.

“We didn’t have anybody who could match up with f if amts? Head,” said Patriot coach Larry Jackson. "But the kids played hard.”

That they did. With under a minute left, it waa a one-point

But the Pats missed a and turned the ball over

down the stretch, and that deaaaed them.

Selem did its part to keep Franklin in the game, converting just U-of-23 free throws (48 per­cent). The Pate were l7-of-23 from the line (74 percent).

The second quarter was the dif­ference for the Rocks. They trailed 22-20 after one period, but an 18-6 second-quarter surge put them ahead 38-30 at the half. They were still up by eight (51- 43) entering the last quarter.

Head ecored his points — he had 26 — when needed most, get­ting nine in the first quarter and nine In the fourth. Adam Ham­mons added 11.

Four Pate reached double-fig­ures: Jason Mashka and Mark Bahtk (14 apiece), Paul Kruschka (13) and Greg Maple (10). Matt Bauman end each grab­bed 10 rebounds.

■ OAKLAND CHRIST. 7 8 , PCA *3 :Plymouth Christian Academy could not recover from a 19-6 first-quarter splurge by visiting Auburn Hills Oakland Christian Tuesday.

The Bagiee trailed 37-24 at the half and 58-39 after three quar­ters. Oakland Christian, which improved to 4-0 in the Michigan Independent Athletic Conference and to 7-2 overall, helped its cause by making 26-of-27 free throws (93 peroent); PCA (2-3 in the MIAC, 6 5 overall) was 6-of- 12 (60 percent) at the lino.

Aaron Joneo’ 18 points paced the Baglea. Mike Roooe had 10. Dan House chipped in with all re­bounds and six steals, and Ryan Thomason dished out nine as-

Bannon hurt, lostAfter a couple of wooka of

pood news, of wine end the ever-growing belief that more were on their way, the anvil fell on Madonna University's women’s basketball team last

It started in Thursday’s game at Concordia College. The Lady Crusaders were on their way to a 73-58 triumph, but en route they lost their best player and leading scorer — point guard Shawn Bannon, who injured her knee late in the first half.

On Monday, Bannon un­derwent arthroscopic surgery to determine the severity of the injury. Madonna coach Bill Potter learned late Monday that Bannon would miss the remainder of the season.

Her loss will require some major adjustments by the Crusaders, adjustments they clearly were unable to make Saturday in a 54-44 loss to Grand Rapids Baptist at Ma­donna. Their defense in the first half was exceptional; they held the Comets to just 19 points.

Unfortunately, they failed to take advantage of it, scoring just 20 themselves. And while Baptist upgraded its offense in the second half — after shoot­ing 28 percent (7-of-25) over the first 20 minutes, it im­proved to 40 percent (12-of-30) in the second half — Madonna did not.

The Crusaders were 10-of-27 in the first half (37 percent) and 9-of-24 in the second (37.5 percent). They also made just 6-of-12 free throws (50 percent) to Baptist’s 15-of-24 (62.5 per­cent), were outrebounded 41- 37, and committed 27 turn­overs to 20 for the Comets.

“We really missed her lead­ership,” said Potter.

Stephanie Crelley led Ma­donna with 26 points on 10-of- 16 floor shooting. She also made three steals. No one else reached double figures in scor­ing for the Crusaders; next highest was Rachel Emery

with six (aha also had four

Baptist got 22 points from Marcy Ball and 12 from Laura Donker.

The loss ended Madonna's three-game winning streak, which had evened its record at 8-8. The Crusaders are now 8-9.■ G.R. BAPTIST 144, MADONNA (MEN) 114: One needn’t tell the Fighting Crusaders it's been a difficult year. Just get­ting in a position to win can be a chore.

Often, to reach such a posi­tion you must command re­spect. With Madonna laboring under a 2-20 record, respect is lacking. It showed Saturday at Grand Rapids Baptist.

What coach Bill Sharpe must now teach his young team (all but two are fresh­men) is to play over such dis­respect. They couldn’t do it against Baptist — officials took control of the game, and Madonna could not adapt.

The result was 42 free throws by the Comets (they made 31, 74 percent) to 28 by Madonna (23 converted, 82 percent).

“I think our kids made (the officials) a part of the game,” said Sharpe. “They called an extremely close game on the fouls, and that hurt us. It took us out of our game.”

It also put some Crusaders on the bench. Center Sam Kuehn and forward Kurt Car­los, both starters, fouled out, and two other starters, J. Dimes and Mike Slone, had four fouls apiece. In fact, all but two of the 10 Crusaders who played had at least three fouls.

“I think our kids got dis­couraged,” said Sharpe.

Baptist didn’t. The Comets roared out to a 64-46 halftime lead and kept pulling away. They dominat'd the boards (65-30).

Ocelot comeback ends too earlyThe winning atreak didn't last

very long.Two gamee, to be exact. Not

that Schoolcraft College’s men’s basketball team didn’t have the opportunity to extend it another game. But the Ocelots surren­dered down the stretch, scoring just 10 points - while giving up 25 — in the final 7W minutes to lose 93-73 to St. Clair CC Satur­day at SC.

The loss left SC at 7-12 overall. 1-8 in the Eastern Conference. St. Clair is 7-11 overall, 4-5 in the conference.

“We couldn’t score, we couldn’t rebound — I called time out to see if everyone had their shorts on right,” said SC coach Dave Boga-

SC SPORTStaj of the game-ending cold streak.

Intensity was lacking, he add­ed. “We lost by *20 after being down by five? I don’t like th a t”

The intensity deficit was evi­dent in the rebounding. The Skippers had a 20-rebound edge overall and an 18-7 advantage on the offensive boards.

Still, the Ocelots did rally after falling behind 51-37 at the half. It didn’t help that they were without sophomore forward Steve Whitlow, the team’s second-lead­ing scorer and rebounder, who missed his second-straight game due to illness.

His absence was noticeable in

the scoring ststa: Todd McNeil had 29 points (and 11 rebounds), but the only other Ocelot in dou­ble figures was Dan Perttula, with 13.

In contrast, St. Clair had four in double figures: Kip Jones (26), Clair Volker (19), Chris Clark (18) and Jamie Schafer (12, on four three-pointers).

■ IT. CUM 17. IC (WOMEN) 57:The Lady Ocelots were faced with playing the Eastern Conference’s beet team on its home court Sat­urday. They knew to win they’d need their best performance.

They didn’t get i tWhat they turned in was “the

worst half we’ve had this year, according to coach Jack Grenan.

"We couldn’t do anything right, and they couldn't do anything wrong.”

The end result: a lopsided loss r* that left SC at 3-6 in the confer •; ence, 7-7 overall. S t Clair is 8-0 in conference play.

Two Ocelots reached double »• figures in scoring: Tricia Kazyaka . and Cindy Muha, each with 12 y points.

The game was really decided r early: By halftime, the Lady Skippers had a 47-19 lead, thanks in great part to SC's 15 first-half . turnovers.

After that, it came down to free throws. St. Clair converted 26-of- 38 (68 percent) to SC’s 7-of-11 (63 . percent).

Birmingham Brother Rico, ranked Ant in Claaa A, won the meet. Milan, No. 2 in Claaa B, waa second, followed by Monroe, Erie-Maaon, Canton, Adrian and Dearborn Edael Ford.

Jeff Clark continued to excel in the aprint freestyle events for the Chiefo. Clark won the 60-yard free (22.41) and the 100 free (49.92). Mike Orvia placed aecond in the 200 free (1:48.76) and Jason Fowler waa aecond in diving (228.66 points). The 200 free relay team of Clark, Fowler, Jaaon Ster­ling and Orris was fourth (1:35.70).

“(Clark) has a good shot at being a state champ, and an All- American.” said Canton coach Hooker Wellman. He was also plaaaad with Orris’ swimming, al­though he has not been as domi­nant as Clark. “He's going aa fast now as he was last year at the conference meet, and faster,” said Wellman.

“He’s not real comfortable with himself right now. I have to keep reminding him that last year at this time, he wasn’t even with

187: A re­vamped lineup in a meter, rather than yards, pool did not handicap Plymouth Salem Tuesday.

The Rocks woo 10 of 12 events to capture their third dual-meet win in four attempts this season at Brighton.

Salem's depth was once again evident. There was only one dou­ble-winner in individual events: Rodolfo Palma, who was first in the 200- meter individual medley (2:29.43) and in the 100 breaststroke (1:19.29).

Other individual winners for Salem were Eric Seidelman in the 200 freestyle (2:10.25); Woodie Thomas in diving (242.43 points); Marc Levitt in the 50 free (27.96); Fred Locke in the 100 free (56.89); and Aaron Berlin in the 500 free (5:41.31).

John McLenaghan, Palma,Berlin aad Pat [ to win the 200(2:03.34); Levitt, man and Locke teamed far a firstin the 200 free relay (1:47.56); and Seidelman, Berlin, Ryan Petros- key and Locks were the winners in the 400 free relay (3:59.03)

“With no meet in two weeks, we were a little rusty and showed it in spots,” said Salem coach Chuck Olson. “We have a couple of good meets coming up. We need to be focused.”

The Rocks face Dearborn Tues­day and North Farmington next Thursday. Both meets are at Sa­lem.

The Plymouth Cant on-v*.- Ptymouth Salem dual meet, sched­uled for last Thursday, was can­celed due to the weather. It has not yet been rescheduled.

Rocks struggle, but still keep improvingWith nearly half the team miss­

ing, Plymouth Salem wrestling coach Ron Krueger didn’t expect all that much Saturday at the Romulus Invitational.

What he got were some pretty solid performances. “All seven (of the Salem wrestlers at the invita­tional) won at least one match,” said Krueger.

Bay City Western finished first with 210 points, followed by Pon­tiac Central with 171%. Rounding out the top six in the 16-team tournament were East Detroit (121), Belleville (113%), Pontiac Northern (108) and Flint North-

WRESTLINGem (95). Salem finished ninth with 68 points.

John Svech, a senior, was Sa­lem’s best finisher. Wrestling up a weight class at 171, Svech won his first three matches — the last two on pins — to reach the final. There he was pinned by Jeremy Amrhein of Belleville in 1:38. Svech was 3-1 for the tournament.

Several Rocks were missing be­cause of injury, and younger team members were sent to the Temperance-Bedford freshman

and junior varsity tournament to gain experience.

“We’ve still got a whole lot of growing up to do, and not a lot of time to do it,” said Krueger. “I think some of our objectives may not be reached until next year.”

Scott Hughes, wrestling at 119, had the best record for the day among the Rocks. Hughes went 4- 1; he won his first match but lost his second before winning his next three to finish fifth.

Steve Hughes, at 152, was 3-1 and finished third, beating An­thony Adamo of East Detroit on an injury default in his last

m atch. Sophom ore Jerem y Breithaupt was also impressive, placing sixth at 145. Breithaupt also won his first match before losing his second; after winning his next two, he was pinned while leading the match to decide fifth by East Detroit’s Mark Perrone.

Aaron Lapinski (130), also moving up a weight, won his first match but lost his second. After pinning his third foe, he lost his fourth match to finish 2-2 for the day.

David Craig (140) and Jeff Richard (160) each won a match and lost two for Salem.

handily. 16-116-1

On Monday, Salem collected its second-consecutive West­ern lakes Activities Associa­tion triumph with a 16-1 15-6, 15-4 win at North Farmington.

“I think they carried things over from the weekend,” said co-coach Allis Suffety. It seemed so; last weekend, Sa­lem won its 12-team Plymouth Vanity Invitational without losing a single game in throe best-of-three matches and three pool-play two-game sets.

There certainly was no lack of concentration against North. The Rocks had just one serving error as a team in the match.

Sophomore Shellye Sills led Salem with 10 kills and two blocks. Junior Karen Gundry had seven kills and eight digs; senior Jamey Viau had six kills, 13 digs and throe service aces; junior Paula Dombrowski had five kills; junior Erin Koch had 17 assists to kills and sev­en digs; and Kim Sheldon, a sophomore, and Wendy Graves, a junior, had 12 and 11 digs respectively.

“The scores don’t indicate how well our team played,” said North coach Sandy Lu- bienicki, whose team slipped to 3-10-5 overall, 1-3 in the WLAA. “Salem’s just an out­standing team.”

Ali Lord led North with six kills; she and Becky Thursam each had eight digs.

At Saturday’s invitational, Salem topped Livonia Frank­lin 15-8, 15-5 in the final. But the biggest match for the Rocks may have come in the semis, when they took on Farmington Harrison — the team most felt would beat Sa­lem for the WLAA title.

The Hawks may yet, but they didn't look up to the chal-

Hazel Path (16-4. 16-8), Novi (16-10, 16-7) and Fans- ington (16-7,16-3).

“It was the boat match I’ve ever seen a Salem teem play,” Suffety said at the Harriaoa clash. "They dug everything up, there i and their

Dombrowaki paced the Rocks’ attack for the day with 32 kills — 10 coming against Harrison. She also had nine blocks in the tournament. Sills had 21 kills and nine blocks, Koch and Viau each had 16 kills — Koch aleo had 92 as­sists and Viau collected nine aces — Gundry totaled 18 kills, 48 digs and 14 aces, and Julie McGurrin finished with 39 digs and 16 aces.

Salem resumes WLAA play with a home match against Livonia Stevenson today at 7 p.m. The two teams were sup­posed to meet Jan. 19, but it waa canceled due to cold weather.

Plymouth CantonCanton’s youth was dis­

played on Monday’s trip to Farmington, which ended in a throe-straight Falcon sweep, 15-7, 15-8, 15-7. The defeat dropped the Chiefo to 1-2 in WLAA dual matches.

“Our kids just didn’t play well at all,” said Canton coach Melinda Cain. “Our serve re­ception hurt us — it kind of fell apart on ua. We couldn't return their serves.

“And our youth hurt us again. Mentally, I don’t think we showed up.”

There were few bright spots. Janet Zabivnik led the Chiefo with eight kills; Ndo Okuma- bua had seven. And Amy Price came off the bench for the aec­ond and third games and “did real well for us. Her passing’s come along tremendously in the past two weeks.”

LOOKING AHEAPW hat to watch for In Entertainm ent next week:■ Find out what’s new at the movies.■ Village Players of Birmingham present “The Music Man.”

Classic comedy has timeless appeal■ “Our American Cousin” la unforgettable because of Us hilarious script, and the fatal shooting that occurred at a performance In 1869.

B ritish and American customs clash with comic results in “Our American Cousin," the 19th century

classic that opens Friday, Jan. 28, at at Henry Ford Museum Theatre in Dearborn.

A favorite among theatrical audi­ences for more than a century, this 1858 comedy by Tom Taylor was the first professional play performed at Henry Ford Museum Theatre in 1964. Its last revival by the Green­field Village Theatre Company was in 1983.

The cast of the current production includes Dan C. Bar of Plymouth and Stephanie Nicols of Troy. Elaine Kaiser of Livonia is assistant producer, and costumer is Berna- dine Vida of Redford Township.

In “Our American Cousin,” the title “cousin” is Asa Trenchard, an American backwoodsman whose character and colorful speech were inspired by Davy Crockett As heir to a family fortune, Asa travels to England to meet his very proper but eccentric relatives.

The British Trenchard* welcome their rustic relation with mixed emotions. They are overwhelmed by his manners, clothes and way with words, but eager to win his good will because of the inheritance.

Among the historic fans of Asa Trenchard was President Abraham Lincoln, who was watching the play at Ford’s Theatre on April 14, 1865, when he was shot by John Wilkes Booth.

But long before its link with the assassination, “Our American Cous­in” was significant for being the first major American play produced

“Our Ameri­can Cousin” returns to the stage at Hen­ry Ford M u­seum Theatre beginning Jan. 28. Di­rector Henry Bennett as "cousin” Asa Trenchard and Mar Riehl in a scene from the play

Hrnrv r o n e M uscim

by a woman — actress and theatri­cal manager Laura Keene. She also starred in the production.

The Ford’s Theatre production, which starred Keene, had opened on April 3. Lincoln and his wife had received invitations to attend two different plays that evening, but de­cided to accept theater owner John Ford’s offer to view the actress’ clos­ing show.

Stagehands created a special box for the presidential party. The presi­dent had not arrived at the theater

at curtain time, but the show pro­ceeded. When Lincoln’s party ar­rived at 8:30 p.m., the action on stage paused while the audience greeted the president and the or­chestra played “Hail to the Chief.”

The play was nearly finished when Booth, a well-known actor, slipped into the presidential box and fired the fatal shot. The next of­fering at Henry Ford Museum The­atre will be “Purlie Victorious,” a 1961 comedy by Ossie Davis. Perfor­mances are March 25 to April 30.

Families get into the act for ‘Music Man’Living in harmony is not just an

act for two local families who have provided six of the cast members in Village Players of Birmingham’s pro­duction of “The Music Man,” which opens Jan. 28.

Patrick Lynch, who plays Prof. Harold Hill, is joined by his daughter Caitlin, 13, who plays Pick-a-Little Lady, and his son, Patrick Jr., 10, who plays a Boy’s Band member.

Celia Keenan-Bolger, 16, is playing Zaneeta, while her sister Maggie, 10, plays Amaryllis, and brother, An­drew, 8, plays Wintrop.

A veteran Village Player, Patrick Lynch is combining two of his great loves — family and music for a great personal experience.

“I was so thrilled when Village Players decided to do this show,” he said. ‘Tve had this role before, but neither of the children where the right age to play a part. This is something I’ll treasure probably more than the children will.”

Celia Keenan-Bolger is “the lead­er" for her younger sister and brother. “It’s fun acting together,” Andrew said. “We get along well, but some­times we argue about who gets the parts.”

The three Keenan-Bolgers have performed together before in “Peter Pan,” “The Wizard of Oz” and “Sun­ny Side Up.” They are members of the Screen Actors Guild as a result of acting in commercials.

Another cast member, Diedrich Stelljes, 13, performed on Broadway for eight months in “The Secret Gar­den,” as Collin. “It was a tough show to do because there were eight shows per week, and I had to go to school, too," Diedrich recalled. He is also a member of the Screen Actors Guild and is performing through the cour­tesy of the Actor’s Equity Associa­tion.

“The children in this show have been remarkably well behaved,” Pa­trick Lynch said. “They know their lines and their music, and they've known for a long time. These are very bright kids. I’m sure they do very well in school.”

iTale of love weaves mystery, intrigue, revengeAs a young

braah agent freahout of law achool in 1952, FBI agent Kevin Walker (M att

'Dillon) along with hia partner Ron Pirelli (Bruno Kirby), ia as- aigned to Chinatown to ferret out suspected subversives during the height of America's communist witchhut. At Broadway Nathan’s, a local hangout, Walker meets Cynthia (Teri Polo), a tall strik­ing blond, who poses a simple question to the young agent — does he believe in law or justice? This question resonates through­out the rest of his life in “Golden Gate,” opening Friday at metro Detroit movie theaters.

The agents ensnare a local laundryman Chen Jung Song (Tzi Ma), who has organized an inno­cent campaign to forward money to the community’s impoverished families in “Red” China. Walker frames Song, who is prosecuted

and sentenced to 10 years in pris­on.

Upon his release from prison, Song is once again investigated, now with reservation, by Agent Walker, which forces the alredy broken man over the edge. Song invokes a curse on Walker — that he “become a Chinaman,” and in­herit all the pain and suffering his naive actions have inflicted.

Song’s daughter Marilyn (Joan Chen), a child during her father’s ordeal, now attends a local law school. She has no true memory of her father or the real circum­stances that led to his misfortune.

Kevin, in an attempt to as- suaage his guilt, befriends Mari­lyn. She has no notion of Kevin’s complicity in destroying her fa­ther. Kevin introduces himself as a public defender who knew her father during his period of incar­ceration. In time, they fall in love. Kevin’s moment of bliss ends abruptly when Marilyn discovers his true identity.

Promising revenge, she invokes the name of the goddess Fa Mu Lan, the Woman Warrior, “the one who takes her father’s place in battle.” Marilyn’s avowed de­sire for revenge and Kevin’s quest for redemption climax poignantly against the backdrop of the Bay Area’s civil disobedience of 1968.

The Samuel Goldwyn Company presents “Golden Gate” in associ­ation with American Playhouse Theatrical Films. It is directed by John Madden from an original screenplay by David Henry Hwang. The film is produced by Michael Brand man.

David Henry Hwang came upon the inspiration for “Golden Gate" in a New York City bar in conver­sation with a friend from New York’s Chinese community. The friend recounted the story of the false prosecution of Chinese- Americans in the early 1950s for

sending money home to their im­poverished families.

Hwang’s penchant for taking historical footnotes and turning them into multi-layered dramas is not limited to “Golden Gate” and his smash Broadway hit “M. Butterfly.” His first award-win­ning play, produced exclusively for the New York stage, “The Dance and the Railroad,” is, ac­cording to Hwang, “a story about people who are shut out of the mainstream cultures and how they manage to create their own rites.”

“America,” Hwang continues, “at least in principal, subscribes to the notion that whoever takes residence on these shores may call it home. This is a relatively new concept in the history of ide­as, and I think people of color grapple with it in a particularly vital fashion. One of the particu­lar burdens of my minority is that we are never completely accepted as Americans.”

Lolita Davidovich bright light in ‘Intersection’AP — Mark Rydell’s last mov­

ie, “For the Boys,” was a critical bomb that never really grabbed a significant audience. With “Inter­section,” now playing at metro Detroit movie theaters, it looks like Rydell — who distinguished himself with such movies as “On Golden Pond,” “The River” and “The Rose” — is on a downward spiral.

Rydell can’t take all the blame for “Intersection.” The movie has an excellent concept — a success­ful but emotionally crippled man who’s uruebte to make a commit­ment — but gets bogged down by a trite screenplay and inferior per­formances by Sharon Stone and Richard Gere.

Gere certainly was miscast as Vincent Eastman, an award-win­

ning architect married to his business partner, Sally (Stone). The carefree, sexy spark that leaves some marriages early on has fizzled. Sally has become a workaholic whose ambitions and enthusiasm are more tied to the firm than to her marriage. Bored and confused, Vincent leaves Sal­ly and their daughter, Meghan (Jenny Morrison), for a vivacious and sexy magazine writer Olivia (Lolita Davidovich).

But Vincent is incapable of making a commitment to Olivia. Part of him is still attached to SaflyTATmosr is a symbol of his indecision, he leaves his car parked at his wife’s home and must go there in order to drive. It also doesn't help that Sally is in the office with him. And when it

■ REVIEW

comes to company social events, he excludes Olivia.

Caught in the middle of course is the 13-year-old Meghan, who nevertheless manages to balance Daddy’s girlfriend and Mommy’s natural hostilities.

It all comes to a head for Vin­cent when Olivia, heady on too much wine, crashes the opening of a n i^ muSeum lhal fliie firm lias designed. Sally is there. The two women meet, and Vincent erupts in fury at Olivia. After dropping her off in the rain, he drives around for the rest of the night,

winding up sleeping in his car outside a diner.

He’s written Olivia a goodbye letter and is about to mail it when he meets a little girl who has the same flashing red hair as Olivia. He tucks the letter into his jacket (it would have been prudent to simply rip it up and throw it away) and leave the message on Olivia’s answering machine to meet him at a romantic country hotel. He gushes excitedly that he loves her and wants to marry her.

Exhilarated by his decision and in a rush to meet Olivia, Vincent speeds along the mountainous two-lane road and breaks too late when he sees a stalled van. He does a 360 just as a tractor-trailer roars into view in the other lane.

This is how the movie opens —

with the accident. Even if you fall asleep during this movie, which is pretty easy to do, you still know how it’s going to end.

And little things, such as the letter and the telephone message, are indeed telescoped.

If “Intersection” has one bright hope, it’s Davidovich. She’s a joy and a natural; and when she’s on screen, you realize just how thin the acting abilities of Stone and Gere really are.

Gere comes across more so as a cad than a tortured man at a crossroads in his life. He offers littleemotional confusionf the in­ner frustration is complicated but eludes Gere in his one-note per­formance.

Martin Landau doesn’t have much to do, but manages to put

in an able supporting perform­ance as Neal, a close family friend and partner in the architectural firm. Morrison is fine as the daughter.

But Stone fans are in for a dis­appointment: She doesn’t take off her clothes. There are no hot moments here. Instead, Stone is required to — emote.

The screenplay was written by David Rayfiel and Marshall Brickman. Bud Yorkin produced with Rydell, Frederic Golchan was executive producer. And Ray Hartwick co-producer.

Friedman, Bruce A. Young and Laurie Metcalf. The film was pro­duced by David Blocker and di­rected by Michael Apted from an original screenplay by Dana Ste­vens.

For the character’s musical prowess, Stowe came to the pro­duction with the benefit of having studied classical piano as an ado­lescent. To learn the fiddle for her place as a fictional member of the real-life group The Drovers, the actress first met with Los Angeles violin instructor Cait Reid, who is versed in Celtic violin. On loca­tion in Chicago, Stow got addi­tional tips from The Drover’s founder Sean Cleland.

"Madeleine is much better than she gives herself credit for,” said Cleland of Stowe's sight weeks of fiddle training. “In a few group re­hearsals, she actually played the pieces. She mastered all the dif­ferent things that go into playing the violin — the bowing, the fingering, the rhythm, trying to make it look natural while at the same time trying to make it look like she’e blind.”

Family Lo t ‘Glad* tidings

Great sums: Tots can do m athem aticsT oddlers explore their environment with

such vitality - touching, smelling and even tasting. Toddlers are probably the best

“taste testers” you can find, if you’re fortunate enough to have a playful toddler at home or in day care.

Since toddlers are hands-on exploring type of folks, parents and caregivers can respond to their hands-on nature by offering activities which can help foster mathematical thinking.

Mathematical concepts should and can be in­troduced to toddlers - before numbers. Matching, sorting, patterning, classifying and estimating are all concepts parents and caregivers can in­troduce age-appropriately - interestingly enough to keep busy toddlers on their toes.

Adults can offer activities to toddlers infor­mally, being sensitive to toddlers’ limited atten­tion spans and need to “keep it moving.” The same and different concept is a beginning to teaching toddlers mathematics. Different words to compare, contrast and show similarities be­tween objects help toddlers focus on characteris­tics of objects, label and develop an awareness of their environment.

You might say, “Let’s feel the soil or dirt in the plant aquarium. It feels wet, sticky. But the plants really feel smooth and dry.” Or you can say, “Rhonda has a big ball with stripes; Jean has a small one with circles.”

Most toddlers are not quite ready to sort ob- ' jw ts into-categories-, but they sure-can genera l- •

ize. For example, “Let’s put away the toys in the toy box. Put all the dolls in this basket.” These types of activities encourage children to think in terms of groups and sets of objects.

Toddlers can understand the basic concept of “twoness." To foster this concept, p>oint out many things in pairs - two shoes, two feet, two arms or two eyes. Then informally you can say, “I see two cups the same color . . two plates on the table.”

Begin to mention when you see two of any­thing at home or while walking in the neighbor­hood or riding in the car to grandma and grandpa’s house. Tots will soon pick up the con­cept and start pointing to and/or telling you about things they see in twos.

There’s early estimating - “Andrea, do you think your hand can fit into your mittens? Do you think daddy’s hand will? Walter, do you think I can fit in the baby crib? Do you think I can fit in the big bed?” Making comparisons and simple predictions helps toddlers make deduc­tions about size and shape.

Through these and similar activities, adults can help toddlers build on nature and master their un­derstanding of basic mathematical concepts.

Pow er play: “American Gladiators” Steve Henneberry (at left), better known as Tower, and Lazer, also known as Jim Starr (at right), had plenty to talk about to fans like 3-year-old Justin O’Hara, when they appeared at Livonia Mall Jan. 15.

G ladiators ta lk fitn ess w ith fansTo fans they’re known as Tower and Lazer, “American Gladiators” who use their strength to slow down com petitors on the popular TV show. But in their spare time, they’re teaching kids about the importance of physical fitness.

_ B y Sue Bu c k ______________S t a f f W r i t e r

Some wanted to be just like them. O thers wanted fitness information. Whatever their reasons, 12 kids got a t re a t recently - lunch w ith two American Gladiators, Jim S tarr and Steve Henneberry.

The youngsters were the winners of a contest, sponsored by Livonia Mall, in which they were invited to write in with their reasons why they wanted to dine with the duo, known on the in te rn a tio n a lly syndicated television show as Lazer (Starr) and Tower (H enneberry). M embers of the Livonia Mall M erchants Association selected the winners.

The chance to lunch with the two G ladiators was a th rill for Jerem y Conenwett, who with brother Dale, was among the lucky winners. The Redford residen t wrote th a t he wanted to meet Lazer “because he is good at sports and so am I.”

M atthew N orred, who lives in Livonia, w anted to use the get-to ­gether to find out “how much weight they work out w ith.” He had a good

reason T orasku tg . hesjvorkuiiLO.a his Cub Scout fitness badge.

Those of the fem ale persuasion had different reasons for wanting to meet the Gladiators. Winner Sarah Davis of Livonia w anted “to learn more about how to keep h ea lth y ,” while Nicole M cGahan, also of Livonia, was interested because she w ants to “be like you guys,” when she grows up.

Also jo in ing the G lad iato rs for lunch were Brian, Lisa and Andrea Waldo, G a rre tt and B rett M ette, B rett W anam aker and Richard Stoddart.

Role modelsS tarr and Henneberry were a big

hit with the kids and they both ad­mit they value their celebrity status as well as th e ir positions as role models for kids.

During the show’s hiatus, the two men devote a lot of their spare time to teaching children and adolescents the im portance of physical fitness. They have developed a program , “U ltim ate Challenge,” th a t offers a

learning experience and physical ac­tivity for children.

Close friends, they take pride in their interaction with fans who range in age from five to 65 - “We don’t do bars or nightclubs,” S tarr said.

The Gladiators also have “four af- firmations” th%y stress to their fans: be a leader not a follower, ju s t say no (to drugs); speak up and speak out (against sexual abuse), and re ­spect yourself.

“American G ladiators” pits con­te s ta n ts ag a in st each o ther and a troupe of body-building men and women whose aim is to slow them down during a v arie ty of tim ed physical challenges. In its fifth year, it’s seen in more than 50 countries.

“We’ve been in the D etroit area two years,” Henneberry said. Named Mr. America in 1989, H enneberry earned his nicknam e through his body-building career.

"Muscle magazines called me the Tower of Power,’ ” said Henneberry, who weighs 275 pounds and stands 6 feet, 4 inches tall.

With Arnold Schwarzenegger as his inspiration, the Wisconsin native set out in 1979 to become body building's Mr. America in 10 years' tim e. On the way there , he won Ju n io r Mr. M ilwaukee, Mr. W isconsin, Mr. M id-E astern America and in 1989, Mr. America.

He also em barked on an acting career and landed several national and international commercials and appearances on popular TV shows before being tapped as a G ladiator in 1991.

Fast and strong__ . -S tarr’s fans often misspelled His

nickname so he ended up adopting the spelling which he considers more | forceful, anyway.

“A lazer is fast, strong and ex­tremely hard to beat, ju st like me,” said S tarr, who weighs 225 pounds and is 6 feet, 1 inch tall.

An all-American football player from Montana State University, his professional career included playing for NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams and with the Canadian Football League’s Toronto Argonauts. i

His football career was cut short by a severe back injury and after a stint doing commercials, he was se­lected in 1989 to be a member of the “American Gladiators.”

The dynamic duo also is looking forward to starting a line of athletic line and a talk show for kids as well as publishing a drug awareness book for children ages 5-7 to cover life sit­uations they will need to overcome.

Collection gives insight into Lincoln’s heritageS— rafartad atory, 3C

By Su e Mason S t a f f W r i t e r

Think you’re good at American history? Here’s a little test;

Which president’s young son, upset with the lack of snow in the nation's capital, used calling cards he found in the attic of the White House as snow on the stairs so he could try out his new sled?

President Harry S. Truman’s ancestors were among those who helped fire bricks for a church reconstructed on the site of the grave and cabin of the grandfather of this president.

Which president got cold feet on his wedding day, leaving his bride-to-be, the guests and minis­ter waiting at the church, only to be reconciled with his true love and married a year later?

You’ll find the answer - it’s the same for all three questions - in books, but not quite history books . . . a biography, yes; a history book. nah. They’re bits of the family history Dr. Weldon Pets has researched and collected about our 16th pres­ident, Abraham Lincoln.

Pets highlighted the third installment of the 1993-94 Livonia Town Hall aeriea that attracted a smaller than uaual crowd because of the bone- chilling w inter weather. A fourth-generation Detroiter, Pets has been interested in Lincoln

since he was a child, crediting a book his parents gave him and his great Uncle Will. His personal Lincoln collection includes 5,000 books and more than 40,000 artifacts, including his great uncle’s horn.

“Uncle Will was with the Fifth New York Battery Band; it was one of four that played for the Gettysburg address,” Pets explained. “He al­ways told me he stood right in front of Lincoln and the bell of his horn reflected his face. I’ve re­searched it and found out it was true.”

Lincoln’s lifePets chose the Town Hall gathering to take a

look at the Lincoln family tree and brought along a few of his artifacts as well as a wealth of infor­mation about a man once believed to have risen above poverty to become president of the United States. •

T here was very little information on his back­ground when he died, so the writers had to invent a background,” Pets said. “It wasn’t until the 1930s when the WPA (Work Projects Administration) waa going through records that his real life came out.”

For 1V4 hours. Pets entertained his audience with tidbits about Lincoln and his ancestors, but it waa hia artifacts that attracted a lot of attention.

Is it now ‘The 10 Suggestions’?

Gladiators fro m p a g e 1 C

The book will feature pull tab selections — “Kids like appara­tus things,” Henneberry said.

Henneberry especially eqjoys working with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a group which strives to grant the wishes of terminally ill children.

His most touching memory is of a six-year-old North Carolina boy named Chase, who had liver can­cer. His last wish was to meet an “American Gladiator.”

“He died the afternoon I left,” Henneberry said. The boy’s

mother dressed him in the T-shirt Henneberry gave him. Henneber- ry’s photo was close by.

“There should be no quota on granting children wishes,” Hen­neberry said.

The men will also be on board the Lazer and Tower Cruise spon­sored by Carnival Cruises and the Ronald McDonald House in Aug­ust.

“Without the kids and the fans, we wouldn’t have a job.” Henne- berry said.

about all of the Ten Command­ments more than ever before. The contemporary moral attitude does not strongly support the obser­vance of these time-hallowed pre­cepts.

Up until modern times, there was little controversy about the validity of the Divine commands. True, there were those who reject­ed God’s dictates, but they were prepared to accept the conse­quences. Because the Almighty was regarded as the Absolute Au­thority, He had the right to com­mand that we abide by His moral code.

St. Vincent de Paul is the larg­est recycler of its kind in the met­ropolitan Detroit area. Detroit- based, the nonprofit organization employs more than 100 people. It has 16 retail outlets and 29 trucks that answer calls daily to pick up donated items, traveling from Monroe to Ann Arbor to Port Huron.

It prides itself on prompt ser­vice and recycling ability. It also is known as a “collector’s para­dise.” It has one store devoted to books and records and another will soon be directed toward frames, oil paintings and prints.

St. Vincent de Paul contributes more than $1.5 million in goods through social service and parish organizations. It also gives away, at no charge, more than $3.5 mil­lion worth of food, appliances, furniture and clothing to families in need throughout southeastern Michigan.

In addition to the main ware­house and the stores on Grand River and in Port Huron and Flat Rock, St. Vincent de Paul stores can be found at 5200 E. McNi- chols, 5840 W. Fort, 14074 E.

Than the mood of modern man changKl rMa traditional concep­tion. Sophisticated and educated, people questioned whether God or anyone, for that matter, could is sue commands without our veto. They preferred to replace the Ten Commandments with 10 auON- tiona. Let the individual decide for himeelf if he wants to follow the biblical code, or any code for that matter.

These modernists brought up their children in the same atmos­phere of relativism. They would not command them to do any­thing. They would only employ gentle persuasion at best. These elders remembered only too well that when they were told that God commanded, or when their par­ents imposed prescribed behavior, they resented the restrictions and promised themselves they would do nothing more than suggest without being authoritative. They would want their children to enjoy freedom and latitude in making up their own minds on moral is­sues. This, they believed, is how true respect is gained.

Unfortunately, the results have not been altogether encouraging. Those who grow up without clear­ly defined rules and respect for authority encounter great difficul­ty. Some become delinquent, oth­ers do not internalize standards of right and wrong. Many are

confused, lacking dearly defined goals and a sense of discipline.

Meanwhile, the statistics on crime and violence continue to mount in all the countries of the free world. The streets of our ma­jor dtiss are no longer considered safe as night falls. Fear has be­come a way of life for thoea who live in the deteriorating sections of America’s urban centers.

In recent months, I have found myself nonplussed as I listen to friends and neighbors talk ani­matedly about the comparative merits of various alarm systems, particularly when the speaker cli­maxes hia conversation by rueful­ly telling how he was raiding his refrigerator when the police raid­ed his house. He had forgotten to turn off a motion detector device before he came downstairs.

To live in constant dread of au­thority and its demand can crip­ple the mind and stunt the spirit. By the same token, to live without fear of external authority, to ig­nore the consequences of disobe­dience and normlessness, to es­tablish oneself and one’s desires as the sole arbiter for right and wrong can be equally destructive.

I offer a parable of our times:It seems that in the year 2100,

the world was still in a state of war, violence in the streets, in­creased crime and widespread so­cial upheaval. The greatest scien­tists of the world met at the Unit­

ed Nations. They were enthralledwith a new computer recently era- eted that could answer any ques­tion submitted to it, even quee- tions relating to complex human problems.

These scientists were sum­moned to request an answer from this giant computer on how to find a solution for peace, for a de­crease of violence, for the elimina­tion of corruption, stealing and murder.

After days of assembling the proper material to feed the com­puter, the moment had come to receive an answer which would bring stability to the world. Sci­entists carefully programmed the information into the computer and waited for the answer.

The vast machine began to sputter and smoke and the tape gradually emerged. All the scien­tists gathered around and began to read the print-out message to the assembled world leaders: “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the Land of Egypt. . . Thou shalt not murder . . . Thou shalt not steal . . . Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”

Lincoln fro m page 1 C A few Lincoln factsProminent among them were

were copies of casta made of the president's face and hands by sculptor Leonard Bolk in early 1860. The copies were one of 11 sets made of the original molds in 1929. The originals, kept at the Smithsonian, were then broken, Petz said.

As the story goes, Bolk, at his wife’s behest, did sketches of Ste­phen Douglas for a sculpture that now stands before the State Capi­tol in Springfield, 111. He also did sketches of Lincoln, but had trou­ble with the president’s angular features and asked if he could make a plaster cast of his face.

Lincoln agreed although later said it was “most disagreeable.” Petz placed pieces of quills in Lincoln’s nose so he could breath and placed cotton on his eyes be­fore encasing his face back to his ears in plaster.

“He had to sit there for one hour and when the time was up Bolk asked the president to gently remove the mold,” Petz said. “It was said the president had tears in his eyes when he took it off. It had taken the hair off his right temple.”

Bolk also got the president to agreed to casts of his large hands, asking that he would hold some­thing in his one hand to show grip of the maul he used to split wood. The president used a portion of hfe«rtfeMafy*B broom. ———

“The knuckles on his right hand were swollen,” Petz said. “He had received representatives of the Republican Party Commit­tee the day before who had come to tell him he was the Republican nomination for president. The townspeople were proud of that fact and that night 800 came to his home.

“The house wasn’t big enough to receive them, so they filed through the front door and out the back and Lincoln shook hands with all of them.”

Gifts to cherishPetz acquired the copies from

his mentor, Thomas Starr, who had worked on the telephone ex­hibit at Greenfield Village. He was given the set by Henry Ford in appreciation for his work. Ford had order two copies of the masks and had them shipped separately to avoid the risk of both seta being damaged. Both arrived in Detroit intact

Petz also showed off two pic­tures of Lincoln taken within a five-year time span. The first was a copy of an original ambrotype, a

form of photography in which a glass negative was backed by a dark surface to make it appear to be a positive.

The photo ia a one of a kind, the original ambrotype, much small than the reproduction, is locked away in a bank vault It was given to Petz by the son of Henry Leland of the Lincoln Car Co. fame. The older Leland had known Petz’s great-grandfather.

The photo was taken when the then clean-shaven Lincoln was 51, prior to his becoming presi­dent The second photograph was one of six copies of an original print taken four days before he was assassinated. The photo shows a bearded Lincoln with a slight smile. It was the last photo taken of him.

“He looked 30 years older when there only was 5Vi years difference between the photos,” Petz said.

A close friend of Carl Sandberg, Petz also showed off one book of a six-volume work the author had done on Lincoln. Sandberg had given him the volume covering the war years and while he thought it odd, he discovered leafing through it that only the first 28 pages con­tained type. The remainder of the pages were blank.

“I couldn’t figure out why he gave an unfinished book; what he gave me was the original printer’s dummy for the work,” Petz ex- plahtedr^And I cherish i t " - -

Another of his treasures is a bi­ography of Lincoln that is less than an inch in size. The book is fully bound, with gilt edges. The letters are one-sixty-fourth of an inch high and each page contains 90 words. Only 25 copies of the book were made.

“The printer cast all the letters in metal, cut them apart and put them in a frame and printed the book page by page,” Petz ex­plained.

The book isn't the smallest in the world. One even smaller waa done and sold for 36,000. Petz didn’t get it for his collection “be­cause my wife likes things like washers and dryers.”

At 72, Petz has begun deciding what will be done with his mas­sive collection. He told the Town Hall crowd he is working on the sale of his collection. Some of his treasures will stay with the fami­ly, but the rest “should be used by young people.”

“Kids today don’t even know when Lincoln or Washington's birthdays are,” Pete lamented, “because now we have President’s Day so stores can have sales.”

Connie Be res ford of Livonia poses a ques­tion about Lincoln to Dr. Weldon Petz.

J im J agdtbld/Staff Photograph kr

To say Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of tbs United States doesn’t quite say enough about the family. Here are a few things you might not have known about “honest Abe” and hia rela­tives.a Lincoln’s genealogy has been traced back 10 generations to Hingham, England, a small town northeast of London. It was Sam­uel Lincoln who brought the name to the United States, arriv­ing as an indentured servant in Hingham, Mass. Abraham Lin­coln’s side of the family waa pros­perous by pioneer standards with doctors, lawyers, inventors, statesmen and generals.■ Lincoln’s grandmother, named Bethsheba, was “an old pioneer woman when Washington became president” wbo lived almost long enough to see her grandson be­come the 16th president She was 109 when she died.

■ Lincoln’sBush Johnson, whom hs his other mothsr, saw him for ths last time whan he was on his way to Washington for his tion. She predicted that would be their last visit “he would die in office.”■ It was during his " '" p « i|« for the presidency that he grew his beard because of the the sugges­tion of UVt-year-old Grace Bedell. The youngster wrote Lin­coln, suggesting he grow whiskers after seeing a campaign photo­graph. He wrote back, saying the people might think It a “silly af­fectation” if he grew a beard, but when his train to Washington stopped in her hometown, hs had a chance to ask her how she liked the whiskers.■ Lincoln waa asked to speak atGettysburg just three weeks be­fore the tee consecration of the battlefield.

Kudos comes homeCounty parks officials, friends group win honors

Tha Wayne County Pufc Sym t*m, headed by Huriay J. Cole­man Jr., baa been tingled out for three special awards at the Michi­gan Recreation and Parka Associ­ation statewide meeting next month.

Wayne County Park System di­rector Coleman and the Friends of Wayne County Parka are the re­cipients of top state awards, while recreation manager Anastasia “Tessie" Pitaes has been named

to the MRPA board.Coleman will be honored with a

fellowship award from the Michi­gan Recreation and Park Associa­tion.

The award is presented to an active member of MRPA for sig­nificant, longstanding contribu­tions toward the betterment of parks, forestry and recreation.

It is considered the highest honor for recreation and parks professionals in Michigan.

The Friends of Wayne County Parka will receive the MRPA’a community service award.

The honor is given to organisa­tions that have made outstanding contributions to the community.

job with our parks system and de- ssrves thia level of recognition," said Wayne County Executive Edward McNamara.

“When we hired him in 1968, families used to be afraid to come to places like Hines Park. This year we had mote than 200,000 people use that park just to see the Festival of Lights display.

“He has brought a new profes­

sionalism to Wayne County’s parks and given them back to the familiea,” McNamara said.

Coleman was named Wayne County parks director in 1969.

The friends group Drill be hon­ored at a celebrity luncheon on Tuesday, Feb. 8.

'iring of BB gun prompts expulsion of ninth-grader

l » T D / U U U J X C L A M

I A Stevenson Junior High I School student has been expelled I for bringing to school a loaded BB I gun that was fired in the lunch- I room, officials said. No injuries

— I reported.Ninth-grader Michael Pearce

permanently kicked out of | the Wayne-Westland district Monday night during a 7-0 school board vote that followed a closed- door expulsion hearing. The dis­trict serves a small part of south­ern Canton.

The decision stirred little dis­cussion and reinforced an earlier warning that district officials won’t tolerate weapons being brought to school. Several guns have been confiscated from stu­dents in recent years.

The BB gun was brought to school on Dec. 2. Another student who handled it also faces possible expulsion, though the school board hasn’t yet decided his fate, said Greg Baracy, assistant su­perintendent for general adminis­tration.

In December, school officials

said the boy who brought the gun to school gave it to another stu­dent who waved it around.

On Monday. Baracy confirmed that the gun was pointed at some students, but he said it didn’t ap­pear anyone was singled out for any thieats.

The gun was discharged in the school lunchroom; fortunately, the BB only hit a hamburger, Baracy said.

“But the potential for bodily iqjury is there with any weapon," he told reporters after Monday’s meeting.

The incident resulted in a due process hearing in December, af­ter which a hearing officer recom­mended that Pearce be expelled from the district. The boy’s par­ents appealed the decision, but the school board upheld it Mon­day.

Board member Laurel Ra- isanen indicated that expulsions are among the moot regrettabledecisions she makes, but she commended her colleagues for their “ get-tough approach’’ toward weapons in schools.

Pupils each year are given cop­

ies of the Student Code of Con- duct tb it out I in— unacceptable behavior, Raiaanen said.

“I hope that they reed that thoroughly and that they under­stand it,” she said Monday.

Before Monday’s expulsion, the Stevenson student had bean on suspension since the incident.

In other developments to com­bat weapons, officials used walk­through metal detectors for pa­trons entering the Jan. 18 basket­ball game between John Glenn High School and Wayne Memori­al High School. No guns were found, Baracy said.

The district also has received some of the hand-held detectors, or wands, that are to be used to detect possible weapons in sec­ondary schools. Officials have said the wands will be used to search students only if there’s a strong suspicion of weapons.

The latest measures come as of­ficials continue to grapple with increasing incidents of weapons in schools. An armed police offi­cer has been placed at Wayne Me­morial, and officials also are mov­ing to beef up security at John Glenn.

Generally, robins, bluebirds, warblers, catbirds, loons, towhees and others are not seen here dur­ing winter. But in any large popu­lation there are going to be indi­viduals that do not follow the

During tba Detroit Audubon Society Chriatxnae Bird Count this past December, some of thoee nonmigratory migrants were found. Common loons, for exam­ple, typically migrate to tba At­lantic Ocean and the Baat Coast. Salt water doea not freexe thus enabling birds to capture fish.

At the time of the count, some of the bigger lakes in northwest­ern Oakland County were not completely frozen. In one of those areas two common loons were identified. Undoubtedly when the lakes did freeze over, these two birds flew south to the next avail­able area of open water.

Those birds that rely on insects as their main diet are most likely to migrate — since insects are very rare in winter. But this year a Carolina wren was seen. Though

grate, Carolina wrens have readily to our oust foadere. H is­

torically. Carolina wrens were more common in winter, but se­vere winters in the mid-1970s re­duced their populations in the state. The recent record low tem ­perature probably took its toll on this species and others.

Though most robins and blue­birds migrate, a small number are typically seen during most winters. They subsist on berries from dogwood trees and other bushes. Several bluebirds will of­ten rest together in the hollow of a tree at nijtfit to conserve heat. Bent tail feathers are a tall “tail” sign of this behavior.

Seed eating birds have a better chance of surviving Michigan winters, but even many of them

migrate. Rufous-sided towheee are a good example Though a fairly common bird in summer, they have only been seen during 10 counts, [hiring any one of those years only a handful (maxi­mum 6) were seen.

lt*s difficult to determine why some of these birds stay around when food is scarce. One possible reason could be that if they sur­vive until spring, they will have first choice of the prime breeding areas. But surviving is the critical part.

Tim Nowicki is a naturalist at In­dependence Oaks County Park in Oakland County. He lives in Livo­nia. You can leave him a message using a Touch-Tone phone at 963- 2047, mailbox 1874.

S««d eater The rufous-sided towhee, although a fairly common bird in summer, makes itself scarce in winter. Few have been seen during 10 recent bird counts. During any one of those years, only a handful (maximum six) were seen.

Area representatives of Nacel Cultural Exchanges are offering a $50 discount to teens who sign up for a European vacation before Jan. 31.

The four-week “homestays” are available in France, the Ivory Coast, Spain, Mexico and Germa­

ny during the summer. Partici­pants will live with families in their chosen countries.

“I feel I learned more during those weeks abroad about France’s language and culture than (in) all of my school classes

combined,” said Rebecca Vol- lenweider. “I had a lot of fun and am looking forward to going back.”

The cost for these homestays range from $1,125 for Mexico to $2,110 for the Ivory Coast, which includes airline tickets and insur­

ance. Spending money is the only additional expense. Meals will be provided by host families.

Hit the heights with our sunflower contest

S unflower*! They make tall exclamation point* in garden* and add a ray of •unahine even on cloudy day*. There are many varieties of these flowers, some

with the traditional yellow ray*, while others have been bred for color — banded gold, orange, bur­gundy, bronxe and white.

Many varieties of annual sunflower* are suit­able for our gardens. This year, the Observer A Eccentric Newspaper* are having a contest to see who can grow the tallest sunflower plant from seed. So get out your catalogs and peruse the seed packets in the stores so that you can join in the fun.

BackgroundSunflowers originated in South America and the

American Southwest. The Incas used them exten­sively and put their likeness on their a rt They were used by American Indians as food, as dye plants and in poultices. Colonists learned from the Indians and also found other uses for this plant — food for cattle, a coffee substitute and “tobacco.” The oil was used in cooking, soap and candlemaking

Today, sunflower oil is used as a cooking oil and in industry. The seeds are eaten raw or roasted by humans, and used in birdseed and poultry mix­tures. Some cultures still use them as our forefa­thers did.

As Europeans came to America, they took the seeds back to their countries where they were cul­tivated with much success. As a result, many new cultivars were developed. Plants originally from America were hybridised so well in the Soviet Union that even today, these same cultivars are grown here for commercial purposes.

There was a sort of one-upmanship about grow­ing sunflowers in Europe. Gerard reported growing one 14 feet tall. It was reported that one in the Royal Garden in Madrid reached 24 feet The Ital­ians boasted that one in Padua topped out at 40 feet So our contest can be a little continuation of something that happened long ago.

Sunflowers are in the Compositae family (in­cludes daisy, chamomile, dandelion), and the best-known genus is Helianthus (from the Greek htliot for sun, and anthot for flower), which con­tains 160 species. Some of the annus! species that can range from five to 16 feet in height are Mam­moth Russian, Pull Sun, Giant Grey Stripe, Sunbeam, Mammoth, Russian Giant, Inca Jewels, Evening Star and Evening Sun.

Although the rays provide the beauty to these flowers, the achenee (the parts in the center) con­tain the little seeds that are so loved. The entire flower is called the head.

W estland (irtist to teach pastel portraiture*

B y L in d a An n Ch o m in SraaAL Warm

Learn the finer points of rendering a portrait of your favorite sports ce­lebrity in a aeries of workshops on dry media at The Art Gallery, 30116 Ford Road, Garden City.

Known for her drawings of star ath­letes, award-winning artist Laurel , Raisanen of Westland will teach the pastel portraiture sessions for six weeks beginning Feb. 3. Cost is $8 per week. Classes are scheduled Thurs­days 10 a.m. to noon, 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m.

“I would encourage people to give it a try because they could create some­thing very beautiftil. It’s vary relax­ing drawing and painting and you learn to take a look and see things, to study them,” said Nonna McQueen, gallery director.

During the pastel classes, Raisanen will cover construction of the face, how to apply pastel to the basic

sketch and add detail to the eyes, noee and mouth.

“The goal is to help them develop their eye to break the fees down with space relationships and to get a good likeness to learn how to draw faces,” Raisanen said.

Students should bring any pastels and paper they may already have to the first class. At that time, Raisanen will talk about paper and supplies, of­fering them at cost to any who wish to buy them.

“W ell start with five or six basic colors to keep costs down because pastels can run 860 to 860 a sat,” she Mdd.

Stave Yserman, Cecil Fielder, Sec­retariat, Seattle Blew— Raisanen seas all these star athletes as chal­lenges; that’s why she spends hun­dreds of hours drawing them. “They’re all winners because of all the years they put in practicing and striving to be the beat they can be,”

she said.Raisanen’* love of horses shows in

her portraits of the thoroughbred rac­ing dynamos. The time she spent working as a groom at the Detroit Race Course in Livonia, coupled with intense studies, gave Raisanen the knowledge to portray the beautiftil animals’ muscle and bom structure. It’s not getting the musculature right so much as getting down the correct proportions, she says. ,

plants last year. Both bad tall sunflower* after the second year of soaring seed.

B.F. Landuyt of Beverly Hills found three volunteer sunflower* where some had grown the year before. One had reached the lofty height of 6Vh feet, another was catching up, while the third was cut down, probably by a squirrel. Landuyt had planted “just the common one” and fertilised them with water-soluble Rapid Gro (23- 19-17) when he fed hi* other plants.

Alexandra Ravitsky of West Bloomfield also had sown seeds two years ago that produced “just regular-sited p lan ts.” Last spring, two seedlings came up and when they were about two inches tall, she transplanted them to an­other area of the garden, where they developed huge leaves and grew more than 10 feet tall. She planted the seedlings where she had applied topsoil but used no fertilizer.

Both Landuyt and Ravitsky have saved seeds — so the race ison!

Plans for plantingSeeds can be sown outside up

to two weeks before the last frost date — generally April 25 in this area. They like a well-drained soil, rich in nutrients with neutral pH (6.0-7.5), lots of sun and extra water especially during dry spells.

We want many of our Observer A Eccentric readers to participate in this contest and ask that you keep us posted about your suc­cesses.

Jim Taylorago. He became a dealer 26 •*, after running out of to state priceless piece*

of history. Ho and wife DeDa have •old their waive for nearly a dec­ade In the 18-dealer antique mall, Troy Corner*. Housed in the old­est (1840) church In Troy, the space provides plenty of atmos­phere, right down to the original stained glass vindowa.

The Taylors, who specialise in decorative accessories and prima­rily early American country ftirni- tura, buy their antiques “in Maine and out East,” said Jim Taylor, a teacher at Seaholm High School in Birmingham. “We buy from ‘pickers,’ who go knock­ing door to door, the farmhouses, searching for antiques that may have been in families for genera­tions."

The Taylora’ booth will include a collection of inkwells, spool cab­inets used in country stores to hold thraad, an 1850 step-back pine cupboard from Maine, a turn-of-the-century bride’s trunk, end tables, one-drawer stands, deacon’s benches, blanket cheste, silver, jars and perfumes, tea sets, Oriental porcelain, including Tmari, Rose Medallion and Can­ton, Flow-Blue china, early Amer­ican country furniture, brass, cop­per, small wooden boxes, lamps, candlesticks, and accessories.

“We’ll have a lot of ‘smalls,’ a lot of‘tabletops,’ ” said Taylor.

There are many advantages to buying antiques, the least of which ia owning a piece of history like a rocking chair that made it through the Civil War era.

“Antiques are a good invest­ment, something you can enjoy. No two are alike,” said Jim Tay­lor.

Besides those reasons, DeDe Taylor added, “antiques tell a story, a history.”

And along with that, it’s be­coming trendy, she said: “It’s not just people who decorate their homes in antiques buying from them. A lot of people who de­corate with contemporary are buying brass and copper accents now.”

t i M y g l V N I lt M N M .Y N C M M .

Peggy Blaisdeil

Blaisdell, who with husband John owns Blaisdell Antiques, has her own set of reasons for lov­ing antiques. “Having things of the past around us takes us back to better times. Antiques warm, they give a personality to a home. 'You can express yourself through collectibles.”

The Blaisdell* are surrounded with the past in their contempo­rary colonial home in Plymouth.

Blaisdell'* booth will offer a collection of pitchers; an oak dresser and commode, aaeorte.d furniture in a mixture of woods, a turn-of-the-century child’s desk, plant stands, a late 1800s bowl and pitcher set, an ironstone Tea Leaf, Stafforshire, glass, lamps, and shades in country plaids and designs. If people want to order custom shades, Blaisdell reminds them to bring their swatches.

Blaisdell finds that of late, she’s been buying more and more glass and china. When asked what trends she sees in other’s antique purchases right now, Blaisdell says, “The country look ia still in but people are getting away from the primitives, the things that look beat up, and moving toward Victorian and pretty things.”

The Taylors have done the Plymouth show at least a dozen years.

“The Plymouth show is a good show with a nice mix of an­tiques,” aaid Jim Taylor. “It has a variety, with something for ev­eryone, from young couples to ad­vanced collectors and it’s for a good cause, the Plymouth Sym­phony.”

at you wbo live ld or for thooo who live in the

but travel to m o w country, winter [ rmphy can reward you with (abuloua shots for your photo album.

But cold weathar photography can prea- ant you w ith aoma prohlama that make •hooting more d ifficu lt than during fa ir weather.

W hile photographer* who live in a vary cold clim ate are accuetomed to auch con­dition*, anyone uaed to more temperate weather can get caught unprepared.

Before setting off to take photographe in cold condititiona, you ahould a pend

gome time preparing your equipment and your own cloth­ing. Almoat any camera can be operated norm ally to about xero degrees, but at temperatures lower than th is , d ifficu l­ties may start to occur.

Why do cameras function leas efficiently in the cold? The most common reason ia loss of battery power. Batteries not only operate the metering system , but also operate the •butter on most newer cameras. Batteries work by chem ical reactions that always proceed more slowly at lower tem­peratures. Solution: Keep the battery in your pocket un til ju st ready to shoot. Take your shots, then place the battery back in your pocket to keep it warm.

There are precautions you should take, too, for photo­graphing in very cold weather. Dress warm ly, in layers, and make sure your clothing allows easy access to cameras and lenses. Wear two pairs of gloves — a heavy outer pair and a thin inner pair. Remove the outer gloves when you’re ready to shoot. The thin pair w ill keep your hands warm yet w ill enable you to work a ll camera controls.

In cold weather, you must take special care w ith your film . Because it can become b rittle , advance it carefu lly and slowly as you run through the ro ll (turn off your power winder) and rewind it carefully, too.

Besides the physical problems of working in low tem­peratures, there are other considerations.

A major one is exposure. Snow-covered scenery is quite different from the average scene and the meter can be fooled. Remember that a ll meters are programmed to read average gray, so w ith snow scenes, be sure to overexpose a stop or two in order to produce a good negative.

When you come in out of the cold, pay special attention to your camera. W ater vapor in a heated room condenses on cold metal and glass surfaces and your camera w ill become covered with m oisture. No damage w ill be done, ju s t be sure to wipe off your camera.

There you have it . During the next cold snap, get out and snap some prize-winning shots.

Undertaking home remodeling project! may offer you more than ju st personal satisfaction. Some home im ­provement projects also may be bring tax advantages, according to the Farmington H ills-based M ichigan Association of C PA s.

C PA s urge you to keep receipts ant records that can substantiate you home improvement expenses Eatab lish a home improvement file Cor cancelled checks, credit card b ills , signed contracts and loan agreements , and contractor invoices.

Doris Bead, associate broker with Max Broock Inc. in Birm ingham , ob­ta ined the Lead ersh ip T ra in in g G rad uate designation at the Women's Coun

Tax implicationCapita) improvements, such as re­

placing a roof, landscaping a yard and updating a bathroom, can be added to the basis of your home and decrease your taxable project when you se ll it.

Be aware that some home projects are merely repairs that do not add to the basis of your residence. A capital improvement m ust add to your home’s value, prolong its life or adapt part of your home to a new use.

When deciding which home im ­provement to make, also look at the trends in home sales and consider the features most im portant to home buyers in your area. For example, adding an outside deck may give you a better return on your investm ent than installing oak trim and han­d ra ils throughout your house.

When making your improvements, consider home prices in your neigh­borhood. I f you want to recover your costs when you sell your home, don’t undertake projects that elevate your property value above the neighbor­hood norm.

How will you pay?T ry not to borrow money for sm all

projects — 13,000 or less. Instead, pay w ith cash. I f your home improve­ment is larger in scope, there are a number of financing alternatives to consider.

I f you’ve lived in your home for a while and have b u ilt up equity in it , you may be able to obtain a home- equity line of credit. The benefit of using home-equity loans is that, un­like consumer interest, home-equity interest is fu lly deductible, except for certain high-income ind ividuals who

itemized deductions.Home-equity debt may not exceed

the home’s value or $100,000 ($60,000 in the case of a married ind ividual f il­ing separately).

You also may finance a large re­modeling project by refinancing your home at a lower interest rate. T h is may enable you to keep your m onthly payments about the same, even if you take out a larger mortgage to finance a home improvement.

Another financing alternative is a home-improvement loan. Although you may be able to obtain the funding you need in a matter of weeks, the terms of the loan can be expensive. Home improvement loans generally have short repayment terms.

In most cases, it ’s wise to aovid f i­nancing a home im provem ent through credit cards. The interst rate on these cards is like ly to be higher than on the loans mentioned above and the interest also in nondeducti­ble.

Be wary about allowing a contrac­tor or remodeling company to provide the financing. Since there has been a great deal of fraud in th is area, it ’s wise to check out the company’s repu­tation with regulatory authorities be­fore making a com mitment

Selecting a contractorOnce you’ve decided on a project

and have determined how it w ill be financed, look for a contractor. Ob­tain recommendations from people who have hired ind ividuals for sim i­lar projects and be sure to obtain three bids.

A lso, remember to check the refer-

and be sure the contractor is licensed and bonded. You also may want someone who is accredited in remod­eling. The National Aaaociaiton of Home Builders ( 1-800-368-5242) may help you find a contractor w ith

cil of Realtors convention in November in Miami.

Candidates must meet Jspecific experience require ments and obtain designs tion credits a three pan process including required courses, elective credits and an oral review.

project. However, the statute requires the developer to pay a ll coats related* to the condominium units or common elements while owned by the develop­er and to restore the facilities to hab­itable status upon term ination of its use.

To the extent you have any prob-1 lems w ith the developer, you should, obviously attempt to seek a ieaolu-.< tion of them, after having bear* advised of your legal rights as it re­lates to the developer’s maintenance of these facilities.

Is there any au­thority in the con­dominium statute giving a developer the right to main­tain an office In a model or unit or other facilities on the condominium premises. Our de­veloper, we believe, is abusing his priv­ileges In this re­gard.

Keating’s Home Tbwn includes nine full-sized modular houses inside a 93,000- square-fbot warehouse in Farmington Hills.

Modular homes sold from ‘town square

Howard T. Keating III is an ex­peditor now, not a builder. But he has built an unusual new home.

“This is Dream Street,” he said pointing to seven models arranged in a square. And with the house lights dimmed amid the sights and sounds of a babbling fountain and artificial landscaping, it actually looks like a piece of small-town America.

“We were astonished at how many people came just to see our houses,” he said. ‘There was a 20- minute wait just to get into the first home. We walked out with 1,306 appointments and 8,000 written inquiries.

Teamwork with suburbs a must: new mayorBy Doug FunksSt aft W arm

It was almost a love-in when Mayor Dennis Archer told a group of predominantly suburban contractors what he would try to do for them and what they could do for Detroit and their own cause.

-Let’s talk about what it is that wa perhaps can do together," the mayor said, outling both long-term and immediate action plans.

MI will name two task forces,” Archer said. “I want them to look at all the documents gathering dust called master plans.

“What should ws do about the world’s greatest undeveloped water­front? Where should ws have a new industrial park? Where should wa have a mall? The east side or west ■ids? Strip canters - wa need them all.

“Detroit ia an ideal lab for growth and development,' Archer continued. "Ninety percent of the vacant land In the city is free at environmental prob­lems. Ws hav* enough land in this

city to accomplish anything.*The mayor, who draw two stand­

ing ovations from soma 230 contrac­tors and their guests, mentioned a couple other goals.

“I think you will find our pension fund will bo involved in now projects in the city of Detroit,” Archer said.

“We’re going to cut rod tape. If you want inspec­tions, you’ll get them. And we’ll pay our bills on time.”

The mayor also asked for the con­tractors'help.

“In April, my wife, sons and I are going to load a beautification

clean-up of our city,” Archer said. “If you’ve got big trucks or dumpsters you can 1st us use . . .that would be a big help to us.

’nis mayor suggested that con- tractors hire school kids at minimum

wage c few hours per week to teach work values and provide soma spending money.

“Show them what to do, to be at work on time, to bo drsacsd properly, the importance of good mannora,” the mayor acid. “Whan wa do that, we give our children opportunity to see hope.

"The days of the designated devel­oper are gone,” Archer continued. “Let me suggest that those of you with the capacity go from contractor to developer. If you have a good idea, bring it to the table yourself.

“Lot’s come together so wo can make opportunities for everyone to be successful,' he said. "There’s go­ing to be a lot for everyone to do. It's in everybody’s interest for Detroit to

a-warahouaa concept. He tu a lly found a half-dosen investors.

They laaaad a large ware­house in Farmington H ills — “the ceiling height, it ’s 2 7 * feet, and it ’s a good location for ua“ — and spent about threw months setting up. The official grand opening was Jan . 16.

Whan completely finished, Keating’s Horn* Town w ill fea­ture a child-care room, a na­ture center, and a vending/eat- ing area where suppliers like Carrier, Honeywell and Detroit Edison can exhib it their goods and conduct demonstrations, Keating said .

There is no adm ission charge and visitors w ill be tak­en on guided tours through the models.

“ Our m ission is to educate people,” Keating said. “ People who want $200,000 can go fend for themselves. People who want to buy for $76,000, $80,000 need help.

“We have special financing. We have employment agencies here for people who need sup­plemental income. We have credit counselors here if people need help w ith that.

“ We are not builders here, we’re coordinators,” he empha­sized.

W hile Keating designs the models, the un its actually are bu ilt in Ind iana or M arietta, M ich ., and purchased by ind i­vidual buyers through the builders who reassemble the units on lots.

The nine models ranging from a 1,093-square-foot ranch to a 2,104-square-foot, two-sto­ry country home a ll are priced at le u than $100,000, even w ith upgraded options.

The models can be con­

structed over a basement or crawl space. Garages are stan­dard on some models, extra on others.

Keating expects two models to be especially popular.

Exp reu io ns, a ranch of 1,203 square feet, has an option of three bedrooms or two bed­rooms and a study. The base price with basement is $73,600, crawl space $70,200.

“ People love it when kids can be on one side of the house, parents on the other,” he said.

Then there’s the Freedom, a 1,093-square-foot, barrier-free ranch priced at $80,200 with basement, $75,400 w ith crawl space.

“ Look at the large thermo­stat, (e lectrical) plugs are off the floor, wide hallw ays, space for a wheelchair under the kitchen aink, a wheel-in show­er,” Keating said.

Lots cost extra.Buyers of the models can ar­

range their own financing and find their own building site or use the services provided by Michigan Lot Exchange, a Keating subaidiary, or Nation­wide Mortgage at Home Town.

M odular homes have the same building codes as stick- b u ilt. site construction. Keat­

ing said. H is prices include a 16-yaar warranty and one-year layoff insurance policy to pay the mortgage, u tilitie s and medical insurance and child cars as part of ths baas price.

Gordon B lake la spokesma n for ths n « jo r investors of Homs Town.

“ My confidante in thia con cept, the people involved and the opportunity to get a return on my investment — and to give back to society — prompt­ed my involvem ent,” he said .

Raymond Anderson is an eras builder who w ill lin k up w ith Keating.

“ I th ink it ’s nice you can •how people what their house is going to look lik e ,” Anderson •aid . “ People ere amazed. The quality of the houses is fine. There’* nothing wrong w ith that at a ll.”

Joe S lav ik , owner of a Farm ­ington H ills building company, serves as an advisor to K eat­ing

“The key in th is is you m ar­ket housing like you m arket autom obiles,” S la v ik sa id . “ You have a big showroom with a ll the models and styles where people can come and have a ll their questions an­swered.”

Keating figures he can get customers into a house w ithin 90 days if there’s no hold-up on m unicipally issued building perm its.

“ Really , th is is the least risky of a ll (m arketing strate­gies),” Keating said. “ I have six markets under one roof. In a subdivision, you only have one market and if you’re wrong, you’re in trouble.

“T h is is a fun experience and a learning experience. T h is w ill attract the public.”

viding employment opportunities for city residents.The crime problem has been addressed in areas

of the city that have experienced a renaissance — Harbortown, V icto ria Place and R iverfront, Landry said . He’s alee im pressed w ith Archer’s com mit­ment to education. “ Q uality of life ia a concern of everybody, obviously,” Landry ra id . "You need a trickle before it can pour. Th a t’s what’s happen­ing.”

A rt Shm ina, chairm an of A .Z . Shm ina in Livon ia , is a past president of the Detroit chapter. “ The new mayor is non-confrontational,” Shm ina said. “ He has a sp irit of cooperation. He’s of the type who invites people in . Very defin itely he can make a d if­ference.

“ I don’t th ink Archer should be looked upon as an entity of Detroit. He’s quality a ll the way and seta a tone for the area. At that point, there must be encouragement of private enterprise through laws about anything that restricts our activ ity .

“Taxes, I th in k , have got to be lowered,” Shm ina added.

B ill M cCarthy, president of M cCarthy & Sm ith in Redford Tow nship, sees a need to attract new business and then better efforts to expedite the con­

struction process once it starts.“ You’ve got to go out looking for industry to lo­

cate in the area,” M cCarthy said . “ It won’t be auto­motive. They won’t spend in the c ity .”_ Apd[about the paperwork process? ____‘T h e whole attitude here was very poor,’^M cCar­

thy recalled. “ It was tough to get perm its. Inspec­tions? Im possible. You’re probably going to have to do something about taxes in the c ity , too. Income and property taxes are out of touch.”

“ It ’s going to take time and patience. Don’t get your expectations so high you’ll be disappointed. It takes year to cu ltivate an environment. Investors perceive hosp itality, a good investm ent

“ A city has to be safe, clean, well managed. I f he can get the garbage picked up, buses run on time, crime is better, education — that’s what it ’s going to take,” Sm ith said . “Can one man make a d iffer­ence? You better believe i t ”

Frank Sm ith, president of the Greater Detroit Chamber of Commerce, said: “ We have 11,200 com­panies as members, only 25 percent in the city. We’re regional. Our whole perspective is th is m ar­ketplace.

Cut to core when window shoppingWindows are not ju st windows anymore. Energy-

raving inert gas fills the gap between panes, special coatings let in light but not heat and window blinds can operate between the penee to keep clear of dust and damage.

“ I f energy savings are im portant don’t stop with how a window looks,” says Paul M artin , territory •ales manager, Pella Window and Door Co., L ivo ­nia. “The decision should include the frame m ateri­a l.

“ Because moat window performance characteris­

tics depend on the frame to work properly, it ’s a critica l place to start. The greatest difference in windows is s t ill the product it ’s made of — solid wood, vinyl p lastic or hollow m etal.”

Wood and vinyl frames have a stronghold on the window m arket in large part due to the energy-effi­ciency problems of alum inum frames. Wood, a nat­ural Insulator, has more than 1,500 items th* ther­mal resistance of metal.

Simple, honest, straightforward. How else would you expect to lease a Saturn?By now, you've probably heard

about the Saturn buying experi­ence. No hassles, no pressure, no fuss, just common courtesy, along with a pretty great car.

Well, the way we see it, your experience shouldn't be any differ­ent if you want to lease a Saturn. After all, what could we possibly gain by making things any less straightforward than they have to be?
