Even though public schools must remain secular they can still teach moral values. One

such value - acceptance - when modeled by a staff and an

administration willing to allow for a free exchange of ideas and unwilling to allow discrimination

of any kind, meets the highest ideals of democracy.

A i r p o r t s a y s i t h a s e n o u g h c o n c e s s i o n s d e s p i t e d e l a y sBY KURT KUBAN S ta ff Wr it e rkkuban@oe.homecomm.net

I n th e sam e w eek D e tro it M etropolitan Wayne County Air­p o rt opened a m ajor new ru n ­way, officials confirmed a num ­ber of shops planned for the air­p o r t ’s new m idfield te rm in a l won’t open when the term inal is unveiled m February

According to Metro spokesman Len Singer, the delay h as come about because New York conces­sionaire Select Service P artners w ithdrew from the midfield te r­m inal project in late September S e lec t Service w as to open 15 sh o p s a n d re s ta u ra n ts in th e M cNam ara Midfield Terminal

Despite th e delay, Sm ger said Metro passengers will still have plenty of options to eat, d n n k or shop w hen the te rm in a l opens Feb 24 H e said the te rm inal’s o th e r 65 v en d o rs a r e a ll on schedule to open on time

“W hen th e te rm in a l opens, th e re w ill be p len ty o f re s ta u ­r a n t s , sh o p s an d b e v e rag e p ro v id e rs a v a ila b le fo r c u s ­tomers,” Singer said

A ccord ing to S inger, W ayne County officials have split Select Service’s space into five different

bids, which went o u t to the pub­lic in la te November He said the num ber of shops is dependent on w hat kind of proposals come in from vendors

“We have sep a ra ted th is into five separate bids, so local busi­n e s s e s w o u ld h a v e a b e t te r oppo rtu n ity to provide conces­sions in th e new te rm in a l,” he said

“W e w o u ld l ik e tw o C oney Island-like concepts, and a t least one sit-down re s ta u ra n t, which could be a national chain such as

a TGIF Fridays O ther th an th a t we are open to all ideas We just w an t to m ake sure th a t th e con­cept is appropriate for the avail­able space ”

S inger sa id all th e proposals shou ld be in by F ebruary , and th e hope is some of th e shops w ill be open fo r b u sin ess th is sum m er

“If everything goes absolutely perfec t, an d we get th ese p ro ­je c ts on th e f a s t tra c k , e a r ly sum m er is a real possibility for some of these places,” he said

N e w r u n w a yThe news of the delay th re a t­

ened to overshadow the Tuesday o p e n in g o f t h e a i r p o r t ’s new10,000-foot, $225 m illion r u n ­way, which gives Metro a to tal of six runways

According to Metro spokesper­son M ichael C onw ay, th e new runway, officially commissioned as R unw ay 4L/22R, w ill m ean le s s d e la y s fo r p a s s e n g e rs , because th re e p lan es can now land simultaneously

“For passengers, th is new ru n ­w ay m e a n s le s s d e lay s , m ore opportun ities for m ore d estin a­tions, and more frequent flights to curren t destinations,” Conway said “W hat an advantage for our community ”

The new runw ay was unveiled Tuesday at a ceremony attended by W ayne County Executive Ed M cN am ara and several Federal A v ia tio n A d m in is tra tio n offi­cials, including Jan e F Garvey Garvey said the new runw ay will g iv e M etro a d v a n ta g e s o v er

some of the nation’s o ther m ajor airports

“Nationwide la s t year, a large n u m b e r o f com m ercia l flig h ts were delayed or canceled While m uch of th a t w as due to weathr e r , m an y o f th e n a tio n ’s la rg e airports have h a d trouble m eet­ing a ir traffic dem ands,” Garvey said

“The sam e p eo p le l is te n in g to audio books, given th e opportunity, are buying audio theater,” Zizza said “We are finding more interest on th e national level for the a r t of audio th e a te r and for tra in in g m th e art

“There is a g row ing audience for th is I t’s a m atter of education - not educating th e consum er, b u t educating th e people w ho m ake a d v e r t is in g a n d m a rk e tin g decisions th a t th e re is in fact an audience for this ”

In the Section, Gary Lightbody is accom panied by J o h n C u m ­m ings (M ogwai, g u ita r), Jen n y Reeve (Eva, violin and vocals), Colin M acintyre (Mull H istorical Society , vocals), A iden M offat (A rab S tr a p , v o ca ls), Jo n n y Q u in n (S now P a tro l, d ru m s), Mick Cooke (Belle and Sebastian, trum pet), Richard Colburn (Belle and S eb as tian , v a rio u s in s tru m ents), G ill M ills (BBC Radio, v o ca ls) , M ich ea l B a n n is te r (piano), Willy Campbell (A stnd, g u i ta r a n d vo ca ls), C h a r l ie C larke (Mogwai, guitar), G areth Russel (Astnd, bass), Bob Kildea (B elle an d S e b as tian , V-Twm , guitar) and Roy Kerr (drums)

Live, th e band m ight no t have it a ll together Lightbody admits “we w ere a b it sham bolic to be honest ” He descnbes the shows to-date as “good fun,” though, and isn’t th a t the point7

I t s ta rted w ith an inexpensive gu itar he received a t C hnstm as tim e , age 12 Now, L igh tbody said , “I don t know w h a t I ’d do w ithout it - listening to it, play m g it I love everything ”

“Music is more im portant than any th ing else,” he said "Every­thing else is secondary I f you’re gonna be passionate about some­thing, you’ve gotta do it ”

The big question rem ains, will The Reindeer Section ever make it over the pond for an American tour7

Accent your home with outdoor greeneryBy Diane Gale AndreassiSPECIAL WRITER

If you re thinking of dragging out the sam e old decora tions and displaying them th e way you always do then take the advice of David McKmght

Bring the outdoors mMcKmght owner of Fm erald City Design in Plymouth

recommends a simple style th a t can lead to a breath tak ing look McKmght suggests grouping th ree evergreens ranging m height from three foot to nine foot then deco ra te them with white lights and snow

“Less is more McKmght said ‘ I t brings together the whole thought of the holiday tune It’s an accent and it s not like you look a t it and say Whoa - th a t ’s too much

Carole Nefe a designer w ith Thrifty F lorist in West land likes the na tu ra l look for h e r own C hristm as tree The tree m her home features bark birds, cork screw wil low twigs b e rn ts and very little else

“I like trees w ith a natu ra l look opposed to ones with too many ornam ents ” Nefe said

McKmght advises th a t decorators trim branches from spruce evergreen and holly trees and add th a t greenery to create a festive look to any m antle or em pty space

Collect a few branches snip them to th e size you want and tie them together w ith a special ribbon Add a few ornam ents or pine cones if the look is too sparse for you

Lay the arrangem ent on a coffee tab le among framed fam ily p ictures and you ve in co rp o ra ted th e glorious beauty of nature w ith a homey family touch

F r u it is d e c o ra tiv eFollowing th a t natu i al them e Carolyn Russo owner of

Flowers from Joe s in Livonia says fru it ornam ents in all kinds of sizes and m aterials are popular

“F ruit is huge th is year she said “Not only do you see fru it motifs m decorating righ t now of course b u t for Christm as i ts big Crystallized fruit, sugared fru it and gold fru it are prevalent “You re seeing i t on trees and centerpieces ” Russo said It s kind of an older southern tradition and it s coming back very strong ”

Holiday decorating J o c s n t have to stop m the front room s Add seasonal ch eer to bedroom s by s tack ing wrapped gift boxes and pi icmg them inconspicuously m a corner If the thought of w rapping em pty boxes seems like a w aste of tim e and m oney use th e gifts you ve already purchased

There s no rule thta t gifts have to sit u n d er the tree until they re undressed on the bfg day

‘ We re all about clustering different th ings and bringing things together ’ said McKmght who has won several awards a t the Fes tival of Trees display a t Cobo C enter in D etroit

Every nook — What child wouldn’t love a little holiday tree m their play area * With a “Curious George" theme sur­rounding the tree, it ’s obvious this special corner is for kids only

While he stresses the beauty m simplicity for holiday decorat m g McKmght also has a tas te for the spectacular - if it s done right L ast year Emerald City Design awed spectators a t the Fes tival of Trees with a 6 foot, lifelike G nnch w ith a decorated tree below it s arms

While a 6-foot Grinch m ight not be righ t for youi home, there are some ways to en tertain your guests w ith unusual table se t­

tin g s L ike, a r ra n g in g th e top of th e ta b le w ith greens crystallized snow, ribbon and any o ther fla t decoration Top the a rra n g e m e n t w ith a sh ee r or organza fabric The effect is confusing a t firs t, b u t th a t’s the idea

Avoid oversized centerpieces th a t will dom inate a table and ultim ately ru in the d inner party because th e re isn ’t enough room for th e p lates “And m ake sure th a t you can see and ta lk to the people across from you,” McKmght said

If you re m aking your own centerpiece, th in k about grouping candles of various sizes and arranging them on a serving dish or wooden board and adding green ery

Choosing the unusual in everything you decorate will elicit the excitement you w ant

In s te a d of trim m in g o u t a w indow w ith w hite lights, there s so m any o ther opportunities, like trim ming a door w ith gift boxes, McKmght said

Decorating ideas to stay aw ay from include trim ­ming the roof line of a house and tak ing lights to a window six feet away And a t a ll costs, he added, avoid tack y C h ris tm a s tre e s k ir ts t h a t d on’t fit around the tree

“A sk irt can be created w ith a piece of fabric or a tab le cloth th a t ’s bunched aro u n d th e tre e tru n k , instead of som ething th a t goes h a lf way around the tree McKmght said

If you’re buying fabric for a tree sk irt you 11 need about four yard s of m ateria l to create th e d rap ing effect Standby colors, like red, green or gold m aterial are popular O r pick an accent color th a t will m atch the hues of the tree ornam ents

A lot of people think th a t cer ta in colors don’t mix like silvers w ith go lds a n d c re a m s w ith w hites But, they actually look good together if they’re accented r ig h t , M cK m g h t s a id F or instance th e silvers and golds look s p e c ta c u la r on a t r e e if th e y ’re g ro u p e d w ith sm a ll white lights creating a sparkling scene, he added

A new er tre n d in decorating tree s is to mix and lay er ligh t sizes and blend those th a t tw in­k le w ith those th a t don’t The key is to m ak e su re t h a t th e en tire tree h a s all v a rie tie s of the lights a t all levels

D ecorating C h ris tm a s tre e s w ith a re d , w h ite a n d b lu e them e is extremely popular th is y ea r explained Je r ry B aker, a designer w ith Thrifty F lorist m

Westland‘ I’ve seen a lot of trees w ith a

p a tr io t ic look go ing on s in ce w h a t h a p p e n e d S ep t 11,” he

STAFF PHOTOS BY PttJL HOKSCOMANNUnique: David McKmght, owner of Emerald City Design m Plymouth, freshens traditional holiday decor by bring­ing the outdoors indoors

said “They’re taking little flags and buying red and blue orna­m ents w ith white lights or using red, w hite and blue lights ”

The burgundy pom settia is ano ther new item th is year I t joins the rose pomsettia, th a t came onto th e p lan t seen a few years ago They join the traditional red and th e less common pink, yellow, peach and peppermint flecked choices of the C hristm as p lan t

Hom em ade ornam ents th a t th e k ids have m ade an d cherish m ight no t have the best craftsm ansh ip o r m onetary w orth , b u t they’re packed w ith sentim ental value and shouldn’t be forgotten ju st because you’ve chosen to have a tree w ith a them e, or because you th in k it might m ake a n elegant tree look folksy

“P u t them on another tree,” M cKmght said “They really create a holiday atmosphere ”

A lot of families le t each child p u t up a small C hristm as tree th a t reflects their individual sty les and in terests O ften tim es the tree is sm all and can fit on a tabletop in th e ir bedrooms

Homeowners are decorating w ith a passion th a t Russo said she hasn’t seen m past years They’re filling every space, from powder rooms to guest rooms and m ost im portan tly the foyer, which pro­vides every visitor’s first im pression A lo t more people a re s ta r t­ing to decorate earlier too - by mid-November th an they h ad in the past, Russo said adding th a t she h a s seen a big in te re s t in whimsical ornaments and figurines

“People love snowmen ” Russo said “I t ’s kind of a trad itional thing th a t has exploded Even if they have a real e legan t house they still have a couple of snowm en here and there We found th a t th a t is bigger this year th an the S an ta figurines ”

A lot of homeowners are buying simple, bu t elegant fresh flow­ers, like a dozen red roses w ith fresh greens, to fill th e ir rooms, she added ’

After you ve tried to incorporate th e unusual, some of th e trad i­tional, m the season of traditions, are necessary, too Ju s t as every little girl can’t leave the house on C hristm as day w ithout h e r new holiday tights, every house needs g a rla n d and o th e r g reenery packed w ith fresh bernes to create a festive look

If all th e decorating is done and you still d o n t have the holiday spirit, McKmght recommends looking outside our hom es and our-

H i p , h i p , h o o r a y f o r r o s e h i p s“T hat which we call a rose/By

any other name would sm ell as s w e e t,” from S h a k e s p e a re ’s Rom eo a n d Ju lie t, is a well- known phrase

A n o th e r of S h a k e s p e a re ’s p h r a s e s , from Tim on o f A th e n s , n o t o ften h e a rd , is, “T h e o ak b e a r m a s t, th e b r ie r s s c a r l e t hips,” so we do find th a t h e knew a b o u t th e f r u i t o f th e rose

T h o s e w onderfully re d seed

re c e iv e th e atten tion that roses do, so per­haps if we share some in terest­ing facts about them we will all le a r n a b o u t ro se h ip s an d appreciate them more

Rose hips contain m uch vita­m in C D uring World W ar II, syrup was made from rose hips to supplem ent th e d ie t of sol­diers because rose hips have a m uch h ig h e r co n ten t o f th a t v i ta m in th a n c i t ru s f r u i t B ritish volunteers gathered the

h ips from hedgerow s to make th e syrup

H ips are still prized as food a n d m ed ic in e T oday we can g a th e r our own hips (or heps, as th ey w ere called long ago) and m ake our own concoction

T he flav o r of h ip s is tangy yet sweet, and they can be used fresh , d ried or p reserved The m ost prevalen t use today is to s teep th e m for te a R ose hip s y ru p , p u re e , ja m , je l ly and sauce can be used as is or as a flavoring in o ther recipes

D ry th e h ip s by sp re ad in g tile halves in a single layer on screens or trays and place m a dehydrator, an oven on the low­est setting, or a dark, dry, well- ven tilated place Store in glass ja rs m a cool, dark place

I f you wish to try a recipe for soup, here’s one th a t is adapted fro m A H erb C ookbook by Painter, published m Auckland

v e n tu re by W hirlpoo l w ill be staggering I certainly hope th a t every one of the 1 8 million con­su m ers w ho own th is p roduc t will be notified of the problem

It will tak e months - perhaps y e a rs - u n t i l ev e ry u n i t is repaired During th a t time, some fires m ight occur Whirlpool has offered to reim burse custom ers for an inexpensive microwave at $100 or less, a countertop model you can use until they come out and fix yours The company will sen d you a check fo r th e fu ll am ount w hen you send in your invoice "Whirlpool is also going to give you a new w arranty for one y ea r s ta r t in g th e day they fix your product This is also anQth- er expensive p a rt of th is venture

I m u s t g ive W hirlpool a n A plus in customer satisfaction

Think of how many millions of microwave ovens have been pro­duced and sold since 1970 Why would th is happen on th is partic­u lar brand and model’ An accu­m ulation of steam and oil vapors m an d a round th e w ave-guide opening can lead to overheating and fire, which could cause per­sonal in ju ry and property dam ­age W ith th is s ta tem en t m ade by W hirlpool le t me give you a few words th a t I wrote in a past column

Clean the ceiling“If you don’t clean the ceiling

in your microwave oven, th e food splatters will cook over and over again u n til they become a rock- hard substance These areas can cause a sparking affect, which in tu rn can ignite whatever m ateri­al is near the spark ” Those of us who fix microwave ovens see th is all the tim e because consum ers miss the ceiling part w hen they are cleaning M aybe th e m an u ­factu rers of these ovens should pu t a little warm ng label where it is easily viewed th a t s ta te s “Your warranty is void i f you do not clean the ceiling ”

I c r ie d l a s t y e a r w h e n a woman told me of h e r daughter, fresh out of college, who moved into h er own apartm ent and died a s h o r t tim e l a t e r T he m icrowave caught fire an d she died in the fire Her lawyer can’t even get an opinion on why the microwave oven caught fire

There are 15,000 house fires a year m th is country caused by the clothes dryers and yet most people ju s t tu rn i t on and walk away

Celebrate life by celebrating your birthday

It w a sn t until late la s t night th a t I realized it was one my friend’s birth days Then it occurred to me - every

one has a birthday w hether he or she chooses to acknowledge it or not I s tarted to wonder when birthdays are no longer fun When do they cross the line of being just another day in the year9

Recently, I watched my younger cousin mesmerized a t the glow of the two candles on her b irthday cake I thought of how I celebrated my birth days as a kid Passing out cupcakes to my classm ates was the highlight of my birthday I remember counting down weeks, days even m onths till my birthday I am only 16 years old now, b u t the idea of b irthdays has lost some of tha t magic, it s ju s t not the same anymore I go to school, go to swim practice come home do my homework, and then go to bed It s practically a normal day - no big hur rahs for me

■ ‘B irthdays are a lso a celebration of life, and after the recent trag ed ies th at the United S ta te s has undergone, the value of th o se sp ecia l m om ents are p rice less

I t doesn’t really bother me th a t th a t’s w hat happens on my birthday I’m not a celebrity, my birthday isn t a national holiday I was ju s t won denng where has the fun gone9 I have often heard adults talk ing about their birthdays as if they were a chore or a depressing day True, w ith each birth day, another year is added to your age, b u t isn’t it worth it9

I encourage you to celebrate your special day If not only to add anoth er year to your age, bu t to remember and celebrate everything good th a t has happened over the las t 12 months - or your life m general for th a t m at ter

My friend, whose birthday I almost forgot, is 12 years older th an me She’s m arried, has a family and is someone I’ve relied on to give me excellent advice She’s been through more th an I have, but a t th e same tim e is young enough to help w ith the problems I face We have drifted ap a rt in recent months only commu m catm g occasionally which is why I almost forgot her birthday

I w ent to the Web site of our favorite band and sent her an e mail card A little impersonal, I know, but give me credit - I remembered before it was too late I checked m y e mail the next morning to find th a t she had w ritten me back She complained of getting “old” (at the age of 29) and thanked me for sending the card Evi dently she has been having a rough past few weeks and she said th is card really cheered her up I t doesn t take much to brighten someone’s day and help them feel special

Not everyone becomes an ti b irth day ” Children have fun on their birthdays, and then there are also people like my Nana, who have fun everyday and enjoy life My N ana is 84 years old and is proud of each one of those 84 years

As people get older and have their own families they tend to do more for the ir children s birthdays, and cele bra te those over their own But birth days are also a celebration of life, and after the recent tragedies th a t the United S tates has undergone the value of those special moments are priceless

Celebrate your birthday and cele bra te your life it’s som ething th a t everyone should take tim e to do To celebrate each year and w hat you have gained from it, ra th e r th an gripe .about getting “older ”

*The words “grace” and gratitude both come from the Latin word gratus” which means favorable or pleasing, and from which we get the expression gratis which means a gift or favor that is freely given We see the connection between God s grace and our gratitude m saying grace” which is expressing our gratitude for God’s freely given gift of food How easy it is to forget and thus to be unwittingly ungrateful for all the wonderful things in our lives that come to us freely by the grace of God Our families and friends our health and wellbeing indeed our very lives and the world we inhabit are truly gifts from our heavenly father These are given freely to us and our Lord expects nothing m return except our love and gratitude Surely this is a testimony to God s overflowing and abundant love for all of us We do well to remember the ultimate source of this great bounty our loving and gracious God In turn we should imitate his love through our chanty to others

never visualized I could w rite a book but I did ”

A licensed occupational thera­p is t a t Providence Hospital, the P ly m o u th re s id e n t took th re e m onths leave of absence m 1999 to dedicate h e r tim e to writing The resu lt, she says, was some­th in g b ig g e r th a n sh e ev e r e x p e c te d J o u rn e y o f a S o u l takes the hand of the reader and g u id es th e m th ro u g h a b e tte r u n d e rs ta n d in g of a h ig h er self th a n the one they tru s t physical­ly

“I a lw ays h a d th is in tu itiv e feeling th a t there was something bigger ou t there th a n myself It took me tim e to g e t used to it and now I know where it comes from and how to m ake sense of i t I always struggled w ith th a t an d w en t th e o th e r w ay to an e x te n t ,” s a id F e a th e r s who d e s c r ib e s h e r u p b r in g in g as “s t r i c t C a th o lic ” in a fam ily w here she Was one of 12 siblings

A lthough h e r childhood was happy she says m h er book th a t h t times it was h ard for her par­e n ts to s h a r e “sp ec ia l t im e s ” individually when th e ir were so m an y ch ild re n to d iv ide th e ir a tten tio n between As an adult, £he m arried into a relationship t h a t w as “h ap p y a n d b lissfu l” b u t ended due to a lack of n u r­tu ring She goes on to say th a t a se v e re m ed ica l co n d itio n su f­fe re d b y h e r h u s b a n d added additional stress and pressure to th e ir relationship — eventually leading to divorce

T urning pointThe catalyst for th e change m

h e r life em otionally, physically an d sp iritu a lly cam e when she f in a lly succum bed to th e pain she felt for years and cried out fo r h e lp S h e sa y s “H e ,” answ ered h er th rough the voice of a friend who was teaching an extended learning class She was g iv en th e assig n m en t to w rite very honest and straightforward letters to all the people she h a r­bored an g er tow ard , then b u rn them so nothing rem ained

The exercise opened the flood g a tes to F ea th ers emotions To th is day she says know one could know th e power of th e exercise unless they do it themselves She sa id she cam e to feel a strong ^ en se o f re lie f , p eace , pow er,

omfort and maybe most lmpor- antly, forgiveness

F rom th a t po in t on, th e P ly­m o u th w o m an ’s life h a s been dram atically different The jour­ney she has taken has lead her to a b e tte r grasp of th e healing p o w ers she p o ssess in c lu d in g clairvoyancy and th e use of Reiki (hands-on technique for spiritual healing)

“H ealin g is no t ju s t done on one level bu t is multi-dimension- al,” said Feathers who has since r e s ig n e d from h e r OT job a t Providence H ospital “You have to give yourself over to a higher s p ir i t w h e th e r you call i t God, A llah o r M other S p ir it I help guide people to a h igher spiritual aw aren ess once th ey open th a t door to u n d e rs ta n d th e deeper m eaning in life ”

T h e P ly m o u th a u th o r describes her healing process in th e book through chapters th a t <?over “lea rn in g , h ea lin g ways, love, dim eiisionality, simplicity, reality and commitment ”

Feathers is in a fa r different place m h er life th an she was a d e c a d e ago S h e say s sh e ’s le am ed by doing, w hat direction h e r life is going

“T here are days w hen I have w o k en u p a n d th o u g h t I w as going to do th is and th is and this b u t o ther things occurred and I realized it wasn’t th e right time fo.p th em to h ap p en T hat took sojne getting used to You have to | be patien t during the process thb u g h and le t th ings unfold as thjey w ill,” sa id F e a th e rs who credits m editation to bringing a -calm and focus to h e r life

Bob B rodie described i t b est “I t ’s hard to stop everything ”

In its basketball home opener Tues day, Plym outh Salem could stop very little of w hat Belleville offered — p ar­ticularly in th e second q u arte r when the Tigers outscored Salem 21-5 in tak m g a 40-22 halftime lead

T hat was more th an the Rocks could overcom e T he f in a l w as 64-49 , B ellev ille im p ro v in g to 3-0 S a lem slipped to 0-2

“T hey h a d m an y w e a p o n s ,” s a id Brodie “They h i t th ree s , they could fast-break , they scored off th e glass They don’t w aste any tim e (shooting) b e c au se th e y know th e y ’ll g e t th e rebound

“We didn’t take our time (offensively) in the first half, and th a t h u rt us We did a better job of th a t m the second h a lf”

Salem kept pace w ith the Tigers and th e i r up-tem po s ty le for a q u a r te r , th a n k s to eigh t f irs t-q u a rte r po in ts from Dave Hoskins Still, Belleville led 19-17 after one

W hat h u rt th e Rocks most was the T igers in side-ou tside gam e, w ith 6 foot-2 sen io r g u a rd J a m e s H olm es doing m ost of th e dam age H olm es, shooting alm ost exclusively from the right-hand side a t the top of the three- pom t circle, drilled five triples m the first h a lf He had 19 points before half time, finishing w ith 23 for the game

“We knew their quickness would get to us,” said Brodie “I f you go outside to stop them , they tak e you to the bas ket ”

Which is w hat m ade Holmes’ penm e te r shooting so effective “When we got h im on th e floor, w e knew we h a d som eth ing spec ia l,” B elleville coach Mike Krogel said “The nice th ing is, he’s not the only card m the deck

Bryan F innerty is tak ing a year off from soccer — well, sort of

A t least the “Goose”, his long-time nickname, won’t be playing pro indoor soccer th is season To say he’s out of soccer, however, would be very wrong

This weekend,F innerty and his partners will open the High Velocity Sports Center, locat­ed on Michigan in front of the Canton Softball Center I t is a 110,000-square-foot facility th a t will fea­tu re three full-size indoor soccer fields, two mini soccer fields and a roller hockey n n k

“This has been a long time m coming,” said Finnerty “The city’s buzzing, get­ting excited ”

I t should be These

indoor fields won’t be anything like those of th e past, which were nothing more th an concrete covered w ith artifi­cial tu rf Those surfaces weren’t much different th an playing on concrete, except falling on tu rf left nasty rug bum s

The indoor fields a t High Velocity are covered w ith a rubber- based, grass-like tu rf th a t is fa r more cushioned th an its predecessor and has more give On artifi­cial turf, a player’s foot often stuck to the surface which led to an abun­dance of ankle and knee in ju ries

Deciding to go w ith this type field w asn’t an easy decision, b u t m th e end it gave the Canton location som ething no other indoor field in southeast Michigan had

MU clipped in consolationWell, at least it was closerBut just like the Lions, it was

another loss for Madonna Uni­versity’s men’s basketball team S a tu rday in the consolation finals of the Bethel College Tour­nam ent Indiana-South Bend held off the Fighting Crusaders to post a 91-87 victory in South Bend, Ind

The loss was the seventh straight for Madonna, dropping them to 3 8 for the season Indi­ana-South Bend improved to 7 3

The game was close through­out, the Crusaders trailing 38-35 at the half Their shooting was certain ly no detrim ent They converted 34-of-68 from the field (50 percent), better than South Bend’s 29 of-65 (44 6 percent) And although Madonna was hardly sharp from three point range (5 of-16, 29 4 percent), South Bend was worse (l-of-16, 6 25 percent)

said Fmnerty These surfaces certainly cost more — “more than twice as much” — but there will be fewer injuries, which should lead to lower insurance premiums since the possibility of litigation will decrease

The facility will offer a lot more (more on tha t later), but most important may be Fmnerty’s name attached to it Unlike another sports organization that didn’t rec­ognize the value of name recognition — the now-defunct Detroit Rockers dumped Fmnerty, their keeper for a decade, ju st as they moved into the Plymouth-Canton area, where Fmnerty is well known — this one has a great chance to succeed

And not just because of its location, although that can’t be discounted According to Fmnerty’s studies, located within a 20 mile radius of High Velocity are more than31.000 youth (5-19 years) soccer players playing for 2,100 teams There are also27.000 adults (20-and-over) playing for more than 1,700 competitive and recreational teams

These are figures he’s well acquainted with Fmnerty has been the director of coaching for the Canton Soccer Club, and its 157 coaches and teams, since 1995 Being associated with that many youth teams can be extremely beneficial when you’re opening a soccer facility (the kind of association the Rockers failed to recognize)

Fmnerty is smart enough to capitalize on these connections He will have his own offices m the new building, but there will be additional office space available Fmnerty

has already made available one of the offices — free of charge — to the Canton Soccer Club, which previously had no permanent location He is negotiating with other local soccer clubs with a similar offer

All of this started when Fm nerty was m his first year with the CSC At the time, the Canton Softball Center was offering indoor soccer in a temporary dome set up in the parking lot That, however, was discontin­ued

“We were trying to get set up with the dome,” said Fmnerty When it closed, “we were sending kids up to Novi to play ”

That left a soccer void tha t Fmnerty want­ed to fill When the city, which purchased the softball center, offered 11 acres of the center’s property for w hat they paid for it ($110,000 per acre), Fm nerty started making contact with possible investors

“This is w hat I envisioned,” he said “It’s a perfect training area for local soccer clubs ”

As for what else High Velocity will offer, the three regulation fields (175 feet by 80 feet) will be joined by a roller hockey n nk the same size W hat adds to the facility’s uniqueness is the seating, which will be on the mezzanine 15 feet over the arenas

The two smaller fields will also be on the mezzanine level, they, too, will have the same prescnption-turf fields Each field will have sound and video systems, with televi­sions that will allow parents to watch what’s going on m other areas — such as a son play mg video games m the arcade while the par­ent watches his/her daughter’s game

In addition to the arcade and video games, there will be a full-service concession area, four locker rooms and four meeting/party rooms

“We want to be, not only the best facility m Michigan, but the best m the midwest,” said Tony Collard, one of Finnerty’s partners

League play with the season’s next eight- week session, which begins Jan 2 There will be a 6 v 6 Christmas Cup Tournament, with youth teams (ages seven years through high school) and adult teams Dec 26 30

As for Fmnerty, his playing days are again linked to the Rockers organization, which folded prior to the current season and has a doubtful future “If the team came back here — I’ve heard some grumblings about a new ownership group — I’d play,” he said “But I wouldn’t like to move to another city again ”

After the Rockers dropped him, Fmnerty signed with Buffalo It was a different expe­rience, considering he had played m Detroit for the previous 10 seasons In Buffalo, he had no public appearance obligations, which allowed him to spend more time with hi3 wife, Denise, who at the time was pregnant with their twin sons, Joshua and Owen, now 10 months old

“From a player’s point of view, it was awe­some,” said Fmnerty

Yet he couldn’t wait to return to his adopt­ed state, Michigan — an odd statement com­ing from a native Californian And it appears Fmnerty intends to stay this time

C a n t o n fro m p a g e D 1

Pat Sharrow’s 18 points paced Monroe Mike Leach contributed 16

The C an ton defense forced 25 T ro jan turnovers (the Chiefs had 16), and Canton had a 27-24 rebounding advantage

Redford CC 84, King 69 : Four players scored in double figures Saturday as Redford Catholic Central (1 0) opened its season with a win over Detroit King m the Beverly Hills-Detroit Coun­try Day Classic

Ryan Clark led the Shamrocks with 19 points, while Steve Wasil and Ryan Wroblewski each added 10 Jeff Niemiec contributed 14

Shamrocks head coach Rick Coratti said con­sidering the team h ad only been p ractic ing together for one week, he was “very pleased” with the outcome Six members of his 12 man team w ere football p layers and th re e were starters

"We did fairly well,” said Coratti of the win “It was 38 all at the half and we had nine three’s in the game It was split up fairly well ”

Canton opens withThanks to a strong finish by

the 400-yard freesty le relay team and three state-qualifying swims by Matt Wisniewski, Ply mouth Canton slipped past Dex ter 94 92 m its season-opening dual meet Tuesday at Dexter

“In the first half of the meet they outscored us big, by 16 points,” said Canton coach Ed Weber “That 400 relay pretty much determined winning or los mg the meet ”

Wisniewski reached state cuts by w inning the 200 freestyle (1 49 29} and 100 butterfly (55 27) He also led off Canton’s victorious 200 free relay team in a state-qualifying 22 64 for the 50 free

■ S W I M M I N G

Joe Le also won individual two events for Canton, the 50 free (23 37) and the 100 free (51 09)

Will the Rocks withstand the challenge and m ake it 10- straight WLAA titles’ Olson did­n’t answer the question directly, but did say this “I sleep well at night ”

He should The Rocks have lost some key contributors m Aaron Shelton (breaststroke, sprint freestyle), Brian Mertens (ind iv idual medley, distance free) and Jim Ross (free)

B ut everyone else is back, including three of the four mem­bers m all three of their relays, relays that finished first in the state in the 200-yard and 400- yard freestyle and fourth m the 200 medley

At last season’s state finals, Olson opted to load up his relays, asking some of his best swimmers to sacrifice possible individual honors for the good of the team I t w orked Salem enjoyed its best-ever perfor­mance at the state finals, finish­ing third overall

Much of the nucleus of that team returns, led by five seniors Eric Lynn and Mike Johnson were both members of all three relay teams at state, Lynn also placing third in the 100 free and Johnson taking third in the 50 free At the WLAA finals, Lynn won the 100 free and was second

in the 200 IM, while Johnson won the 50 free and placed third m the 100 free

They will share the team’s cap­taincy with Kevin Schopieray, who scored at league in the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke Other seniors are Ben Mellis (back/free) and Jim F ranks (free)

The third returning member of the state relay teams is junior Ben Dzialo, who won the 200 free and placed second in the 100 fly at league Illness kept Dzialo from perform ing his best a t state, he was 14th in the 100 fly

Once again, quality depth won’t be a problem for the Rocks And there’s plenty of talented freestylers, which has long been a Salem staple

Key jun io rs who re tu rn include Mike Horgan, ninth m both the 100 fly and 500 free at the WLAAs, M att Showalter, fifth in the 100 breast and 14th in the 200 IM a t league, Je ff Nevi, fifth m the 100 back and 10th m the 200 IM at league, Adam Sonnanstme, who scored m both the 200 and 500 free at conference, and Joe Aumiller, a breaststroker/IMer

The top member of the sopho­more class is Casey Johnson, who could fill the gap in breast-

stroke created by Shelton’s grad­uation

Now for the newcomers — the freshmen Two made an immedi­ate impression on Olson Nick Dixon, a strong sprint freestyler who, like Lynn and Dzialo, could excel m any stroke, and Penn Chou, a swimmer who “has got all the strokes — he!s got a lot of ta le n t ,” p a rticu la rly m the breast, according to Olson

There are also three freshmen divers the Salem coach is hoping will garner some points along the way

Indeed, diving could be one of the weaknesses on th is team, and there aren’t many As Olson rep lied when asked w hat his team’s strength was “Flexibility We’ve got a lot of guys who can swim the 50 or 500 (free), and we’ve got state-qualifiers in the IM and free

“And we have three All-Ameri­cas back m Lynn, Johnson and Dzialo That makes making a lineup a lot easier ”

T alen t som etim es shrivels when faced with adversity Olson doesn’t believe tha t could hap­pen to this team

“Their attitude (is a strength),” he said “They’ve got some expe nence It’s tough to put them m a situation they haven’t been m They swam well everywhere ”

If Dixon lives up to Olson’s expectations, the Rocks could perform even better a t state

“T hat depends on w hat the rest of the state does,” the Rocks’ coach said “We could swim even better than last year and not do as well ”

Then he added, “I would be disappointed if we don’t go faster than 3 09 (at state), if we stay healthy ”

The best indication of what to expect at state could be revealed at the Rock-Kilgore Invitational Jan 12, when the s ta te ’s top three teams from last season — Rockford, Ann Arbor Pioneer and Salem — together with Can­ton, D earborn and Livonia Stevenson will collide “I’d pay to see that,” said Olson

That week, which includes the Canton-vs -Salem dual meet two days earlier, should more clearly define both Canton’s and Salem’s chances Olson believes Canton could fin ish m the top 10 a t state

Not th a t he’s willing to give anything in to the Chiefs The Rocks are still No 1 in the area, and they plan to stay there

Time varies to redeem foreclosureDue to an error m a

recent column, we repeat the question with the cor­rect legal conclusion

I sold using a land contract. The buyer owes me 60 percent of the purchase price, plus back taxes and insurance. How long will he get to pay me off if I get a judgm ent?

After a default, you may terminate the land con­tract by forfeiture and obtain a judgment of pos-

The buyer has 90 days, if he has paid less than half the purchase price (six months if he’s paid half) to get current and to reimburse your court costs

The term purchase price doesn’t include unpaid taxes or insurance premiums Your buyer must pay everything due, plus court costs, within 90 days after judgment

You instead may sue to foreclose the land contract, sell the property and obtain a judgment for any deficiency

Although the purchaser will have six months after the date of public sale in which to redeem the property, he will have to pay the amount bid at sale, which usual­ly is the full balance of the purchase price, plus interest, court costs and the costs of sale

It helps to understand the nuances of the language, if you want to participate in the activity And real estate has a lingo all its own

Agency - The relationship between a Realtor and others m the negotiation process A Realtor can represent the buyer, seller or both The law here requires Realtors to disclose exactly whom they represent

Closing - The meeting m which all the papers are signed, fees paid and the home legally changes hands

Closing costs - Fees usually paid by the buyer to obtain a mortgage and process paperwork relating to a property transfer They include title insurance, appraisal, credit report, document preparation fees and recording fees

C om m ission - A negotiable fee, about 6 percent, paid by the seller, divid­ed among all Realtors involved

Down paym ent - A cash deposit, usually 20 percent of purchase price paid at closing that becomes the buyer’s immediate equityiruthe home

E a rn e s t m oney - A cash deposit, usually 3 percent of a purchase offer accompanying tha t document, from a buyer to show a sincerity of purpose

E q u ity - Ownership in terest in a home Equity equals sales price (and later, appreciation m value) less mort­gage owed

Escrow Account - A fund set up for the purchaser of a home by the mort­gage lender to mclude the property tax and sometimes the homeowners insur­ance portion of the monthly payment The lender then pays those bills directly when due

Homeowners Insurance -r An annu­al insurance policy that repairs dam­ages to a home resulting from weather events, fires, criminal activity or person­al injuries to visitors

Home W arranty Insurance - A pol icy usually paid by the seller to entice buyers covering breakdowns m major mechanical or structural systems for the year after sale Cost ranges $375 $425

Inspection - Usually included as a condition of sale by purchaser to get a third-party overview on the condition of a house and its systems

P riv a te M ortgage In su rance - A monthly fee required by a mortgage lender to borrowers who make a down

PMI can be costly On a 30-year, $150,000 mortgage, the monthly cost is $90 with 5 percent down, $65 with 10 percent down and $36 with 15 percent down

PMI is no longer required when an owner’s equity reaches 20 percent

Have you have ever been faced w ith a daunting task that you know is su re to sap your tim e, effort and energy, but you know it must be done?

Too often that formi­dable task keeps slip ping to the bottom of your prioritized stack Most us would rather knock out 10 simpler list items than tackle “the monster’

Your mortgage loam officer is really no different than you are m that regard In light of the current mortgage refinance market, you should take every effort to make sure your fife gets a high priority on your loan officer’s list An easy way to get your file off to a good start is to prepare to complete a bulletproof loan application

Initially, your lender will need the complete name, current address and social security number for each borrow­er to pull their credit histories For most of my clients, I check credit dur­ing our very first phone conversation If your credit report is a bit bruised up, your loan officer may immediately give you specific tasks - I call them home work assignments ~ tha t will help him either clear up those blemishes, or at least mitigate their impact

Some of these credit-related tasks may include supplying copies of divorce or bankruptcy papers proof of paid col lections or copies of previously dis charged mortgages These requests may seem tnvial (or even painful) but leaving them undone may resu lt in your loan being left undone Do these things right away

During this pre application phase, plan on also digging out some other documents, including your past two pay stubs, your most recent banking and investment statements, and your past two years W2s or tax returns if you are self employed

Renters should also compile their landlord information for the previous two years, and real estate investors should list property and hen mforma tion on each of their properties

Getting your mortgage approved effi ciently requires a team effort between you and your loan officer You will usu ally receive priority service from your mortgage loan officer if you give the same energy m return

Home equity loan can pay for holidays

Interest rates are close to what they were 40 years ago This is an opportunity for new buyers and homeowners who w ant to turn equity into cash to pay off bills or buy gifts for the holidays

“As the end of the y ear approaches, th is is a perfect opportunity to use some of the equity in your home for extra holiday cash,” said Jeff Jannett, vice president of sales, Shore Mortgage “Given today’s low mortgage interest rates, credit card purchases should certainly be avoided However, before you make a move it is a good idea to study your situation thoroughly”

Make a list of your debts, total your m onthly paym ents and determine what you can accom­plish with some extra cash

For example an individual who has a m onthly paym ent including principal and interest

of $1,230 on a home with an ini­tial mortgage of $160,000 and a current balance of $144,000 His current interest rate is 8 5 per­cent John also pays $400 a m onth on a second mortgage with a balance of $30,000 for a com bined m onth ly m ortgage payment of $1,630

The homeowner was quoted an interest rate of 6 5 percent on a 30-year mortgage of $174,000 - a loan large enough to pay both^ mortgages He refinanced and his new monthly payment is now $1,099 - a combined savings of more th a n $500 a m onth % money to pay off c red it card debts and/or buy holiday items

Shore employs dozens of loan officers who speak languages including Spanish, Slovak, Rus­sian, Hungarian, Japanese, Chi-' nese, G reek and a num ber of Arabic languages

M ilestone R ea lty S erv ices mRoyal Oak acted as mortgage broker and procured permanent loan financ­ing for an office building at 32270 Telegraph, Bingham Farms

The $6 1 million, 10-year loan for the two-story, 58,000-square-foot, Class A office building was arranged by M artin West, Milstone president, and Jacqueline Paul, its chief oper­ating officer

GE Capital was the lender The building, constructed in 1984, is owned by an unidentified Michigan limited partnership

Remodeling calls for good decisionsB Y K E V IN B R EN N ER AND K A T E K E L L Y T o d a y ’s H o m e o w n e r O n l in e

“Decision fatigue” is a common reaction m homeowners new to the remodeling process who underesti­mate the pace and sheer number of decisions required of them m the design and product-selection stages

Any building or remodeling job requires dozens of crucial decisions that set the pace for a small army of workers and craftsmen Slacken the pace, and you lose momentum and end up paying for downtime Make snap decisions, and you could live with expensive mistakes for years to come The key to avoiding decision fatigue is knowing which decisions you need to make and when to make them Then coordinate as many of those decisions as possible with your project m anager and the various subcontractors before the remodel starts

Know what’s comingEarly in the planning stage, ask

your contractor or architect to work up a complete room-by-room, ltem- by-item list of decisions your project involves You’ll notice the list breaks out into two general categories design and products

Design decisions include appli­ance location, skylight and window placement, heating duct or base­board locations, door placement and

■ Any building or remodel­ing job requires dozens of cru cia l decision s that se t the p ace for a sm all army o f w orkers and craftsm en.

swing direction, the number and location of ou tle ts and ligh ting plans Product decisions concern the type and size of items such as cabi­nets, kitchen and bath sinks, shower stalls, toilets, appliances, flooring, tile, windows, doors and electrical fixtures, along with their features

Even la te installations demand early decisions on design and prod­uct For instance, while a shower stall is one of the last fixtures to go into a bathroom, which you choose affects plumbing rough-m locations and the framing plan, both of which affect the floor-tile pattern and how much drywall is needed The same goes for electrical fixtures, which a re supp lied by hidden w iring roughed m before the drywall goes up A late location change for a ceil­ing fan can mean having to remove and reinstall wallboard And while adding a garbage disposer in the kitchen m ight seem like a minor detail, i t could require an extra 20- amp circuit that’s tough to rough in a fte r dryw all and cabinets have

been insta lled The re su lt is an expensive change order

Create a calendarOnce you have your list of deci­

sions, work w ith your builder to organize them procedurally around the steps of the job

For each decision on your lis t, assign a date by which you’ll give the builder your final choices and deci­sions But be realistic Leave enough time before each due date to do some research m magazines and show­rooms

Use a loose-leaf binder with sub­ject dividers for each major decision area Fill it w ith notes, business cards, brochures, paint chips, fabric swatches and other information And organize each decision area accord­ing to its due date Then stick to those dates

Any remodeling project is a three- dimensional chess game where each step affects all the others Seemingly minor decisions like cabinet trim and backsplash tile can be as impor­tant as major ones like window and tub placement

Keep your promises, and you’ll find it easier to insist your contrac­tor does, too Timely decision-making puts the performance onus on him and reduces the chance of error Best of all, you won’t hear the contractor say he could have done a better job if only he had had more time
