A Plymouth Township soldier marched as part of the elite Old Guard military platoon that led President Reagan’s flag-draped casket in a horse-drawn caisson down Constitution Avenue to the US Capitol Rotunda for viewing m Washington, D C , Wednesday

Ibm Zeisser, 21, was selected in December by the Army to become a mem­ber of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, the Army’s oldest active unit, to stand guard at

military funerals for fdlen ser­vicemen

‘You can’t apply for the Old Guard, you have to be picked,” said Zeisser’s mother, Cathleen "I talked to him Monday and he said he practiced three days at Andrews Air Force Base for this ”

The Old Guard consists of representatives from each branch of the military They marched m blue wool dress uni­forms for the funeral procession

‘I called hun Saturday when I heard about the death of President Reagan, and he already knew he \ras going,” said Zeisser “It looks like it’s just sol­diers standing still or marching at a slow pace, but it’s extremely hard work because everybody is in such precision And, on a hot day with those uniforms it can be very hard on them ”

Zeisser said her son joined the Army in October 2002 after graduating from Catholic Central H i^ School in Redford

“He felt strongly he should join after 9/11 happened,” she

Locals remember former president as man of humor

Former U S Congressman Carl Pursell of Plymouth Township shared a moment with President Ronald Reagan, who donned a Detroit Tigers cap for the occasion

said “Thatshis way of giving back He had planned on going into the Rangers, but then the Old Guard selected him ”

According to Zeisser, her son’s primary duty as part of the Old Guard is to stand guard at funerals for fallen soldiers He attends as many as four funer­als a day at Arlington National Cemetery, many for World War II and Vietnam War vets who have waited years to be buned there

Zeisser said her son is gener­ally on Old Guard duty for two

weeks at a time, and when he’s not attending funerals spends time training as a machine gun operator with his squad

Zeisser was front-and-center watching television Wednesday as the procession marched toward the Capitol, trying to get glimpses of her son

“Joining the military was a good deasion for Tom, she said Tm so proud that he’s a part of history”

Former Michigan Congressman Carl Purseii of Plymouth Ibwiiship said when Ronald Reagan was elected president, there were many doubts the cowboy from California could lead the coun­try

“At first I wasn’t sure of him because he didn t seem to be focused on the issues,’ said Pursell, who spent 16 years in Congress “But we found out that he looked at the bigger world picture and national scene

“Compared to some other presidents, he’ll rate pretty high,” he added “He certainly was the great communicator I enjoyed working with him ”

As the country mourns the death of Reagan, Pursell remembers some personal times he spent wifli the 40th president of the United States

“There was a couple of us in the Oval Office with him and he tapped me on the shoulder,” Pursell said “Ilie president took me up to his pnvate quar­ters, which was very rare, and gave me his TKE fraternity pins

“We were both members of that fraternity, and I think it was a way for him to communi­cate with me,” Pursell added “It

'Compared to some othern i >A» Sk Al ' i l nmUiipresidsnts, ne ii ratB prsny high. He certainly was the great communicator. I enjoyed working with him.'Carl Pursed ,Former Michigan congressman j

was a nice gesture ”Pursell said he also flew with

Reagan aboard Air Force One to a Detroit Tigers World Senes game

“He was really a comfnon man, very fhendly and warm,” Pursell said “He also had a great sense of humor

“One time we had a meeting in the Roosevelt Room and I sat across from him A jar of jelly beans was in the middle and he pushed them toward me and said‘have some It was those unexpected kinds of things that made him very congenial,” Pursell said

As for his politics, Pursell said Reagan will always be remem­bered for the fall of communism and turning flie nation’s econo­my around

“He stuck by his guns,”Pursell said of the famous

Plan could shorten new hall time frame

BY BRASI iCADRICH STAFF WRITER

The Plymouth Township board hired the architect to design its new township hall as expected Thesday night, but the hiring came with a twist that could get the project start­ed as much as four months sooner than ongmally planned

Board members voted unan­imously to hire A3C of Ann Arbor to do the design work for $500,000 after township officials negotiated a second bid with the architect A3C’s ongmal bid was for some $550,000, but its resubmitted bid came down after board members narrowed the se^ch to two competitors A3C and THA of Flint

But m the process of rebid- dmg the project, A3C pro­posed breaking the process into multiple bid sets that would allow whatevei con­struction manager the town­ship hires to bid out items sooner According to A3C

spokesman Dan Jacobs, that would allow the township to bid out the site and structural work early enough to get pre- hmmary grading and founda­tion work prior to winter

Jacobs predicted the idea would not only save the town­ship money — he estimated between $100,000 and $250,000 — it would allow ffie rest of the work on the project to start early m 2005, rather than m mid-year

“The construction industry IS poised for a substantially larger increase (in costs),” Jacobs told the board “By prepanng multiple bid pack­ages even the rest of the work will get started closer to early 2005 aUowmg contractors to have more confidence costs will not change substantially”

Jacobs said A3C discussed the strategy with at least two construction managers m developing the plan But that wasn’t enough to convince all the board members it was the

Commission OKs 10.6% water rate hikeBY TONY BRUSCATO

STAFF WRITER

City commissioners pa^ed a water and sewer rate mcrease of 10 6 percent Monday night ffiat takes effect July 1 According to figures supphed by the aly, the a v e r^ cus­tomer - one who uses 18,000 om per quarter - will see an mcrease of $15 48 every three months

The commission approved the rate hike after voting down an 18 3 percent increase last month, calling It too steep

Monday night, Mayor Pro Tern Dan Dwyer voted against the

mcrease, saying it was still too much for customers to absorb

“We’re killing people with water rates,’ said Dwyer “Rates have increased 80 percent since I’ve been on the commission

“I thmk we could have gone with a lower percentage and used Bathey proceeds to build the water and sewer fund,” Dwyer said “Then, you don’t do it on the backs of the residents ’

The city is m negotiations to sell die Bathey property on Mill Street for $4 5 million However, City Manager Paul Sincock said “it would be premature to count on

those proceeds coming in dunng the upcoming fiscal year ‘

Auditors have suggested the water and sewer fund should have $15 million in unrestricted cash City offiaals say it would take a 40 percent rate hike to generate rev­enues of only half that amount

On July 1, the end of the current fiscal yeax, Finance Director Mark Christiansen expects to have $500,000 m the water and sewer fund The water rate hike IS expect­ed to generate another $150,000, which will be used toward the Ross Street reconstruction project that will cost $900,000

A new mode for women's styleDowntown

store focuses on ladies' fashions

BY BRAD KADRICHSTAFF WR TER

Beverly Whitby had been running a small company from her Canton home, consulting with clients about women’s style, fashion and accessories

When the company began to get too big for its britches, metaphorically speaking, Whitby began thinking how best to expand

And GiGi s Mode was born GiGi s Mode is a downtown

Plymouth boutique specializ­ing in ladies jeans, tops, shoes and accessones targeting young mothers with teenage daughters as well as the teenage daughters themselves

“It’s definitely a girl thing,’ Whitby said “The business exploded, and I needed to move it to a retail spot ”

When she decided to open her store, Whitby thought bringing in her daughter, Amanda Bntcher, into the business felt natural Bntcher, who works at Elite Eye Care in Canton, said she’s always had an interest in womens style issues

‘ I always got to see the new styles in eyewear, said Bntcher, who does the books and handles purchasing for the store W hen Mom started her consulting business, my inter­est just blossomed

GiGis Mode focuses on women’s style and features designer jeans and designer evening accessones, indudmg jewelry, purses, shoes, jackets, pants and ponchos There are also home goods such as mir­rors, candles, etc

One glance shows, though, that men’s items are not avail­able

“No mens stuff,” Bntcher said with a smile “Men are welcome to have a seat on the couch or come in and shop for

The store obviously caters to women, including the presence of a Diva Wall,’ a portion of one wall where customers can sign their names with each purchase

We have women from all over the place on that wall, from as far away as Sweden,’ Whitby pointed out ‘It gives them a sense of ownership, and it makes things a lot more fun’

The store also came along at a perfect time for Ryanne Arecheja, an Eastern Michigan University graduate who went

to work for Whitby‘It s perfect for me, said

Arecheja, who got her degree m merchandising W ith the economy being the way it is, there s not much going on This was an answer to my prayers

And to those of Whitby, who said the store, since its May 24 opening, has been doing solid business

“It’s going extremely well,” Whitby said “It’s fun because the younger girls come m and shop, then go home and tell their moms, and then you see the moms coming back m with them All the ladies are excit­ed”

Lotus Arts Gallery opens its doors Friday with a grand opening set for July 23-24

G a l l e r y p u t s i t s p r i n t d o w n t o w nAfter much buzz and several

months of renovations, Lotus Arts Gallery makes its debut on Mam Street Friday

The 2,500 square foot gallery just outside the center of town IS the result of months of renovations spearheaded by longtime Plymouth resident and businessman, Walter Menard Menard is a long-time art enthusiast who has a diverse, eirtensive personal col­lection

Featuring originals and lim­ited edition artwork and sculp­ture, Lotus Arts Gallery ‘ may well have something for every­one, Menard said, from the whimsical and festive brush­strokes of Anne Aderman to the

bold and surprisingly realistic oil strokes of Thomas Arvid to the soft and sentimental charm of Fabienne Delacroix’

Other internationally acclaimed artists represented by Lotus Arts include Jann Harrison, Yuroz, Edna Hibel, Erte and others

Menard said the project is a labor of passion for him

“Art needs to be shared,” Menard said What better way to share my favonte artists with my town than this^ I can’t think of one ”

The grand opening show takes place July 23-24 For more information, visit wwwlotusartsgallerj'^com or call (734) 453-5400

“We’re not ready for that,” he said “That decision will be made after we ve gotten into the design stage a little bit.

Mann did give a preview of his position, th o u ^ , by point­ing out the township would watch its dollars closely on the $12 million project

It appears if we go that route there could be a signifi­cant savings,’Mann said “If that s true, we’ll probably go m that direction ”

$6 million in municipal bonds it will use to pay half the cost of the project, even though the funds won’t really be needed until later m the process

TVustee Chuck Curmi point­ed out selling bonds before you actually need the money is unusual, but Michael McGee of Miller Canfield, the tovm- ships bond counsel, said the idea was a sound one m this case

“It’s going to result in lower debt service, most likely,” McGee said

“The Fed has indicated they’re going to raise interest rates, some people think as much as half-a-pomt If you apply that to a $6 million debt over 20 years, it’s a significant amount of money”

Carl Berry of Plymouth Township, who’s had his picture taken with every president but two since Dwight Eisenhower, met Reagan with a group of fel­low Republicans who were campaigning in Michigan to elect Reagan to his first term m office

‘ To me he was always down to earth, very open to people,’ Berry said “He was a very impressive guy, and loved humor”

Berry, a conservative, said the conservative Reagan was an excellent president

“He was a man of his word, and did what he said he was going to do,” Berry said “He was the great communicator

"He tried to get people back to work, and used private enterprise and not the govern­ment to get it done,” he added “He’s going to be missed, and has been, for a long time ”

Education, plantings key parts of 'Rescue' effort Home checks partof online servicesBY KHRISTOPHER J BROOKS

STAFF WRITER

Across Wa3rne County, Rouge Rescue 2004 brought out more volunteers this year and their annual cleanup effort went well beyond trash removal in the Rouge River

In Livonia, residents reminded the community not to dump waste into sewer drains

“What youVe looking for is the square grates all along the driveways here,” Livonia’s Rouge Rescue site coordinator Sharon Sabat explained to par­ticipants

Participants used stencils to spray paint remainders over sewer drams

“So when people go down there with their motor oil they

'just drained, I hope they 11 see that stencil,” Sabat said

At Redford’s cleanup site, the township’s Water and Sewer Department Supt Ronald J Caryl gave instruc­tions to volunteers

“Anything man-made that we can find and can get out of there,” he said “They don’t take die logs out and stuff

because thats counter-produc­tive”

Redford Township had a dozen Boy Scouts among the local groups volunteer at its cleanup site

‘“rhey wanted to find more,” said Elizabeth Staley of Redford, explaining how enthusiastic the Scouts were

Participants said they found almost everything

“Chip bags, wrappers, bro­ken glass, pizza box, condom wrappers, a two-by-four,” said Inkster resident Mary Martain “And then there’s a package way down there that said ‘Big Mama’s pickled sausage’”

Redford Water and Sewer Department general foreman Bill Wing said the volunteers filled eight to 10 trash bags Scouts and a group called the Southeast Michigan Pagan Association were among the workers

“The majority is paper and bottles and lots of Styrofoam out there,” said Renee Blankenship, 45, of Garden City

'Ibnquish Bank was spruced up by Plymouth residents who planted more than 35 different

types of plants that are native to Michigan

“'They act as a soil-holding mass to help stabilize and help hold the soil m place,” said Plymouth resident Karen Gorman

'The volunteers planted wil­lows, red twigs, dogwoods, but- tonbushes, waterbemes and service bushes

‘ If you come back here m three years that creek will be totally different, it’ll be more woodsy,” Gorman said

Fnends of the Rouge board member Sam Lovall said nabve planting helps the nver’s ecosystem

“It enhances the land and aquatic habitat — everything that wants to live m there will have a watershed now,” he said

In Westland, Nankin Mills Interpretative Center educated children on the importance of water preservation

‘TTou guys are part of a big­ger project,” said Matt Noble- Richardson, Nankin Mills assistant interpreter

Nobie-Richardson also took the youngsters on a mission to remove invasive species

“What we’re going to do

today is attack the garlic mus­tard,’ he said, referring to a plant that kills other vegeta­tion “We’re going to hand pull because I don’t want you guys near chemicals ”

Prior to pulling garlic mus tard from the Rouge River around Nankin Mills, the chil­dren sat outside the center while Noble-Richardson explained water pollution and the significance of the Rouge River

We need to save it It takes energy to clean it, so we need to take care of it,” Noble- Richardson said

Farmington Hills residents worked on prevention to pro­tect the Rouge River

'The ram garden they planted will hold storm water in a small bank filled with inses, cup plants, swamp milk weed, cardinal flower goldenrod and cow parsnip

The bank will absorb water and help prevent the Rouge from flooding

“Just the planting took an hour today, the hole was dug up about a week ago, said Joe Derek, Farmington Hills city naturalist

City residents going on vaca­tion can now go online to ask Plymouth police to check their homes while they re gone

Police Chief Wayne Carroll said the vacation check infor­mation has been “very helpful in finding residents who were away, but whose homes expen- enced emergency situations such as broken water pipes

“The vacation check service is something our ofiicers per­form on a time-available basis, and it helps us located the owner in the event of an

emergency,” Carroll saidCity residents can now log

onto the city’s Web site and submit a vacation check request form Residents can find the forms at www ci ply- mouth mi us/onlinedocs html and go to police department forms ”

Carroll said the department offers other on-line documents and forms, such as Notice of Bad Chedcs for the busmess sector, new on-street parking permit applications and forms needed to qualify to purchase a pistol

It was the combination of her clients, her employees and a friend that led Roberta Lang to decide to celebrate her third year in business at the Lasting Impressions Salon in Garden City with a different kind of sale

Lang will be holding a craft show 10 a m to 6 p m Saturday m the parking lot of her salon on Ford east of Harrison to raise money for the Burger Center for Students with Autism

‘ My goal IS to raise enough money for an outing for the students,’ said Lang ‘ I have quite a few clients who work there and a few of my employ­ees work there I hdve a very dear friend whose daughter is severely autistic and attends

Burger, and it hit home with me You just don’t hear a lot about funding for autism ”

'The craft show will feature scarves and jewelry, col­lectibles, embroidered T-shirts, pet clothes and pillows, flow­ers, purses, gourmet foods, flo­ral arrangements, holiday crafts and tie-dyed items Also there will be the Pampered Chef, Avon, Party-Lite and the Red Hat Society

The tents will be set up in the parking lot behind the business, and vendors can get still can get involved

“WVre still accepting crafters up until that day, we 11 make room for them,” she said

In addition to the crafts, Lang plans on having a bake sale, face painting, a band, air­brush tattoos and limo ndes and services like massages for a donation

There also will be 50/50 raf­fles and raffles of items donat­ed by the vendors Raffle tick­ets 1^ 1 be priced at $1 each or several for $5

And people who stop by and make a future appointment will receive a ticket making them eligible for a drawing for a $250 day spa package

In the shop, 20 percent of every service done that day will go to the fund-raiser and a like amount will come from the concession stand Even the crafters are helping out

Some are giving a percent­age of their sales, some have donated items for the raffles, and some are doing it all,” she said ‘ Every crafter has given above and beyond the $25 fee ’

'This isn’t the first time Lang has done something like this She has done fund-raisers for breast cancer and Sudden

' OUR VIEWS

Mardigian and Simescu worthy

The Plymouth-Canton Board of Education faces a myr­iad of real challenges, both in the short-term and long- range

We believe incumbent board President Judy Mardigian and trustee hopeful Barry Simescu are best equipped among the four candidates m the June 14 election to han­dle the challenge

The re-election of Mardigian, a six-year trustee, is espe- aally cntical The board is populated with relatively inex­perienced board members, so the return of its longest- tenured member is an essential element for the board to

implement plans for the district’s future Mardigian has been an excellent school

board member since first being appointed in 1998 She has long been a dhampion of low-class sizes, and she’s been a leading proponent of holding legislators’ feet to the fire m terms of state funding equily

She also helped the board weather the trying times surrounding the hiring and su b se q u e n t d e p a r tu re o f fo rm er Supenntendent Kathleen Booher

In the last couple of years, M ardigian has been instrumental in establishing sub­committees th a t have helped the board and th e d is tr ic t analyze financial and instructional issues as it figures out the direction it wishes to follow in trying eco­nomic and educational times

Perhaps m ost im portantly, M ardigian has played a key role in forming a collabo­ra tive re la tio n s h ip w ith c u rre n t

Superintendent Jim Ryan, rather th an the combative atm osphere which existed betw een Booher and m ost board members The more serene ambiance has allowed the board to keep its eye on the ball - educating children

We believe Simescu is the best choice for the other open seat, created by Liz Givens’ decision not to seek re-elec­tion

In interviews suid forum appearances leading up to the election, Simescu - a m em ber of the votiferous band boosters - has displayed a keen grasp o f the issues, partic­ularly the financial ones, facing the district

He’s developed definite, well-reasoned opinions on the budget, the future of Central Middle School and the pos­sibility of building new schools in Canton, but he’s also shown he’s willing to listen to others His engineering background should also come in handy when the district gets around to erecting new schools

Judy Mardigian bnngs an experienced, well-rounded attitude to the board Barry Simescu offers new energy and reasoned thought to the proceedings We believe they should get your votes in the Juhe 14 election

Hold school leaders accountable at polls

Why is It that so few people show up to cast the most important votes^

We’re not talking about this November’s presidential election, although that’s pretly senous business No, our target is Monday’s school board elections, which typically draw fewer than 15 percent of eligible voters to the polls

School districts throughout the Observer & Eccentric coverage area face multi-million dollar deficits and the prospect of laying off teachers, increasing class sizes and other drastic measures to balance their budgets

A ccording to the M ichigan A ssociation o f School Boards, a survey of all 524 state school districts showed that from January 2003 through January 2004, 70 per­cent of districts did not fill open positions, nearly 60 percent laid off staff and more than half increased class sizes

Additional funding reductions this year, distncts said, would force more than 70 percent to cut spending on supplies and ser\ices, delay or reduce the purchase of textbooks and reduce educational programs

Are people truly unaware of m id-year elections'^ Are they happy with A e way their distncts are being run or simply unaware of the problems they face?

The answers to those questions are probably complex, perhaps even impossible to find But there’s a simple way for you to combat the problem of low voter turnout Go to the polls and make sure you bnng a few fnends with you

Remember Casting a ballot is your best opportunity to hold school officials accountable for their actions and to ensure strong, positive leadership in the years to come

Vote for MooreWhen my wife, Phyllis, and I got mar-

ned, we chose to live in the Plymouth- Canton community We wanted to have a family We wanted to raise our children in this community That was nearly 30 years ago

A factor that weighed heavily on our minds while considenng our decision was the reputation of the public school tystem I believe to this day, young cou­ples looking to buy a home follow a simi­lar decision-makmg process

On June 14, another election will take place m our community The election will lack the glitz and glamour of a presi­dential election, but it won t be just anofiier election it will be an impor­tant election

Everyone in our community who cares about children, our reputation as a car mg community, the fiscal integrity of our district, the level of in-classroom expen­diture of entrusted revenues and the degree of tax increases sought by the school board and administrators in ensu­ing years had better pay attention, or surely we will pay dearly in the future

This election is important enough that ail responsible citizens should vote' As fi'ee people we have a right to vote, but even more significantly, each of us has a duty to cast an informed vote Only then IS the democratic process truly honored and legitimate

After considering the situation we face as a community, the respective duties and responsibilities of the position of school board trustee, the consequence of errors for failing to exercise the appro­priate due diligence and independence and the training and experience of the individual candidates, I will be casting one of my two votes for Becity Moore

Even a quick review of her credentials and commitment to our community and its schools IS impressive Becky Moore has a bachelor of arts and a master s degree in teaching from Michigan State University, as well as a doctor of educa­tion m leadership from Eastern Michigan University

Moreover, she has 27 years of expen- ence in the education field Real, hands- on, practical experience, and that is mvsduablc for a school board trustee, something we haven’t had on the dis­trict s board for a long time

Becity Moore was a principal for more than a decade at Hulsing Elementary School Her service would make both Esther and Ken Hulsing, after whom the school was named, proud As someone who reads to students every year during “March is Reading Month” and who was a member of the Educational Excellence Foundation for more than 10 years, I know first-hand the type of person Becky Moore really is — well-qualified

It IS my considered opinion voters will search in vain for a comparable, let alone better, candidate

Canton

Pro Mardigian, SimescuOver the years we have had the pleas­

ure of working with Judy Mardigian

LEHERSand Barry Simescu on a number of school activities They both bring the leadership qualities we need to address the issues we presently face as a school district They have continually demon­strated through their actions that the students growth and education is the top prionty

Judy Mardigians record on the school board speaks for itself She is the most senior of the school board members and understands the issues and our district We cannot afford to lose her expenence and leadership as we address the chal­lenges ahead

Barry Simescu has demonstrated to us that he his well reasoned, calm, approachable and open He brings a bal­ance to listen and evaluate all sides of an issue with an ability to create innovative and collaborative solutions

We have witnessed both candidates’ tireless efforts on behalf of our students and general community

We urge you to vote for Barry Simescu and Judy Mardigian for our school board

Bee owes women apologyI was leafing through my daughter’s

copy of the latest yearbook for her school. Canton High She pointed out the mam picture of the Plymouth High principal, Mike Bee, and made a sour face He was dressed up like a woman with huge breasts, a long dress and a wig with face makeup He was on a stage before parents, students and visitors

As a woman, I was deeply offended at this gross display and insult to all women I thought this kind of unwel­comed, inappropriate behavior was outlawed by the hard-fought passage of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act As a parent, I was shocked to see a man in his position display such sexism before young boys and girls m a public school

I ask that Pnncipal Bee apologize to all women for this offensive behavior

Board President Judy Mardigian first became involved with the schools back in the mid-’90s As a parent of two young children just beginning their education, Judy was very concerned elementary class sizes w ere too large for effective instruction

Never one to sit on the sidelines, Judy took action and organized the Class-Size Action Partnership Through the years, CAP has worked to make and keep class sizes smaller, especially in the primary grades

I served with Judy on the Long Range Planning Committee m the latter part of the ’90s Judy was vocal and steadfast in her determination smaller class sizes should always be a top pnonty of the dis­trict Through her leadership, smaller learning communities were also imple­mented at the high schools as part of

High School Renewal In addition to her leadership skills,

Mardigian has brought other strong assets to the PCCS board during the six years she has served, including this past year as its president

As co-owner of Health Decisions, Inc , Judy has put her savvy business expertise to w’ork along with common sense to make sound financial decisions regard­ing the schools During her six-year tenure on the board, Dodson Elementary, Discovery Middle School and Plymouth High School were built — all on time and under budget

Judy is very well-informed on school funding issues and she continually com­municates with our elected officials in Lai^mg on this matter She was a found­ing member of Michigan Citizens for Fairness m Public School Funding and an organizer of three statewide summits on improving school funding, the last of which drew more than 1,000 from across the state

M ardigian has always taken her responsibilities to the children of the PCCS com m unities very seriously, as exemplified by h e r hard work, her devotion to excellence and accessi­bility

It is time to vote to re-elect Judy Mardigian to the Pljnnouth-Canton Community Schools Board on Monday, June 14

OUOTABLE"I'm excited about it, and I'm looking forward to working with the guys to make the department grow and prosper, think it's going to be an exciting challenge."- Capt Randy Maycock, new fire chief, on accepting the challenge of leadership

w w w .h o m eto w n Iife .co m OTHER OPINIONS Observer & Eccentric 1 Thursday June 10 2004 (P) A9

It's time to include voters in process of redistrictingTo me, the most telling part of the commen­

tary on the death of former President Ronald Reagan had to do with his personal warmth

^and grace and his ability to work effectively ‘across partisan lines* His relationship with then-Speaker of the House ‘Thomas P ‘ Tip” O’Nedl offers a striking example ‘ O’Neill was as partisan a Massadhusetts Democrat ‘as you could imagine, fiercely at odds with •President Reagan’s conservative ideology But the •two established a warm fhendship diat enabled ; them to find ways to cooperatively disagree with- • out being disagreeable

What a contrast to the fierce­ly partisan and venomous atmosphere that pervades our politics today, b o ^ in Lansing and m Washington I recall a recent conversation with Michigan’s John Dingell, D- Dearborn, who has served in the US House of Representatives since 1955, longer than any other member now there

e ‘Inlheolddaysjwemi^tdis-( agree on matters of politics ort policy, but after we got through with all that, we’d e go out and have a beer together,” he said “Our good 6 personal relationships m ^ e it possible to strike I compromises that served the nation well But those * were the old days Nothing like that now exists”6 How come? Surely it cannot be that the per­sonalities of our politicians have radically Shanged over the past 20 years Nor have dis- sputes between Republicans and Democrats been »mysteriously heightened so as to be utterly unlike Sthose of past years

What has changed is the skill and sophistica­tion the politiaans of both parties are now apply- m gto the process of drawing distnct lines for congressional and state legislative seats In theo­ry, the process of redistnctmg is supposed to fol­low the Census, which maps population changes from region to region In order to meet the prin­ciple of “one man, one vote,” legislative distnct lines are adjusted to reflect population changes measured by the census each decade

But politiaans — for whom drawing distnct lines is often the single m ost cruaal act of their careers — are getting extraordinanly skilled at the fine arts of genymandermg, i e “dividing a geo­graphical area into voting distncts so as to give u n ^ r advantage to one party m elections ” (The term “gerrymander’ was named after Elbndge Gerry, an early 19th century governor of Massachusetts, who approved a legislative distnct

' that looked much like a salamander) The folks who draw distncts these days have a whole battery of computer-assisted technologies at their com­

mand, enabling them to draw distncts to favor one party over another with amazing preasion

The net effect has been to draw voting distncts across the country that are either solidly Republican or overwhelmingly Democratic Dmgell (who knows a lot about redistnctmg, hav­ing been thrown into a distnct with an incum­bent Democratic representative, Lynn Rivers, m 2002) says he thinks there are no more than 40 truly competitive congressional distncts across the country And Bill Ballenger, former state sen­ator and publisher of the neivsletter Inside Mtchigati Politics, lists only 11 state representa­tive distncts out of 110 as ‘i:ossups”

So the real selection of candidates happens only m pnmmy elections, m which voter turnout is almost always dominated by title most extreme partisans of ather party, ultra-liberals for the Dems and n^t-wingers for the GOP In such dis­tncts, there is no political incentive for candidates to appeal to the moderate middle And as a result, the very process of drawing election distncts tends to “partisanize” the sort of people who are elected

And this leaves most voters, who are relative moderate partisans or outnght independents, feeling that their representatives m the Congress or the state Legislature are largely out of sync with their own vieivs The result is simple Alienated voters and poor voter turnout With no real choice of candidates in general elections, we appear to be moving toward a political system that IS democratic m name only

What to do about it’ To expect politiaans to control their mstmcts to tilt Ae partisan balance to one side or the other would be absurd When the Republicans controlled the governorship and both houses of the Michigan Legislature, they rammed through redistnctmg plans tailored to their party’s advantage Should the Democrats be in the same position, they surely would do the same

So I offei: a modest suggestion Let both parties come up with their particular redistnctmg plans every 10 years and submit both plans to the vot­ers Of course, most voters won’t know much about the details of either plan But there will be informed (or, to be realistic, semi-mformed) cov­erage of both in the news media, and the public will get a general idea of whether one^plan or another is outrageously partisan Botii parties will have a politick incentive to offer plans featunng competitive distncts that will encourage candi­dates to appeal to middle-of-the-road voters

Cynics and political experts may pooh-pooh my suggestion But folks, it would be far better than what we have now

* mptying out tiie notebook

■ When elections roll around, people tend to get all c a u ^ t up m extollmg the virtues of tiiose who are running, which is fine. T h ^ also like to pomt out the n a tiv e s of opposing pomts of view, which is also fine, as long as it stays fair and dean

The one thing tiiat frequently gets lost m all the pre-election rhetoric js tiie person who deades he or she isn’t going to run again, partic­ularly when they’ve given everjihing th q r^ had to give for a long time

So It’s appropnate, with the school board elec­tion mere days away, to stop for a mmute and tiunk about what Liz Givens has done for the board

Givens, a Canton resident completing her eightib year on the board, deoded early on she wouldn’t run again. She leaves as the longest-tenured member of the l^ard, a title she now bequeatiis to Judy Mardigian. On a relatively mexpenenc«d board, her pas­sion and her leadersfop will be missed

But, witii her children long graduated iiom Plymouth-Canton Sdiools, Givem; said it’s time to move on after serving as a PTO president m 1981, the president of the school counai fiom 1991-95, and on tiie Board of Education since 1906, including two years as president

“I got mvolved because my kids were mvolved m the school,” said Givens “I love education It’s one area of commumty service where I could make a stronger contribution tiian many other areas”

Among her accomplishments, Givens lists spearheading the labor-management team, being part of the high school renewal plan, and estabhshing the supenntendent’s evaluation to juidude major goals

Among her accximplKhments, we will list this Showmg that you don’t have to actually have kids m toe distnct to have a stake m the distnct

■ I know I’m supposed to cover Plymouth and keep my opimons about what’s going on m Canton to myself, but is this Big Boy tomg really such a huge issue? I mean, have you taken a look at Ford Road m its entirety lately? Aside from Michigan Avenue, it’s toe busiest street I think I’ve ever seen m terms of signage

I know Canton Tbwnship offiaals are trying to do something about it I know toe Downtown Dewlopment Association hired a Flonda-based consultant. But was the first recommendation really to get nd of toe Big Boy statue’

Surely, Canton Township offiaals hav« some- thmg more important than tins to worry about

Big Boy is an icon (and not just because I’m bmltjust like him) Aren’t toere bigger fish to fiy m making Ford Road look toe way officials want it to look’

■ I like toe litde foimtam toe arty put back m place after toe real one fell a couple of weeks ago I’d like it even better if I had never seen toe one Charlotte Perry and her husband, Calvin, donated

Perhaps we’ve been spoiled After all, toere aren’t that many downtowns, particularly m a 2 2^uare-mile aty, that have fountains at all We toould be happy with this one Plus, you really have to give it to aty employees, who got it b ^ m workmg order fairty qmckly

Fersomlfy, I’ll be glad when t i ^ get anotoer fountammplac^ assuming th ^ do CityMan£^

Sinoock said he’s already heard fix>m peoj^ wanting to help, but that aiiy pemianent replace­ment is probabfy five-six months aw ^

In the meantime^ enj(ty toe one we’ve got It’s a umque part of Kellogg ParK whidi i ts ^ is a umque and valuable part of a umque aty

■ Ihketoef Commission 1 meetings m toe vanous aty parks It’s a neat way to take toe aty government to the people it r^resents, and people tend to take advantage of I t Those meetings generally draw more of an audience than the ones Conducted m toe com­mission chambers

Maybe toe Plymouto Ibwiitoip board should copy toe aty (they’ll hate readmg that) and move toeir meeting outdoors over toe summer The board only conducts one meeting each m July and August So t o ^ could rotate their final June meeting and toeir July-August meetings between Miller Park, Plymouth Ibwntoip Farit and Lake Pomte Soccer Park.

Memo to the township board Just because it was toe aty^s idea doesn’t mal% it a bad idea.

■ If I h ^ e to hear Bill O’Reilly bash toe media for its “liberal bias” one more tune, I’m going to scream at my television

I’ve taken to watdung as much of his show. The (XReiUy Factor, as I can stomach, because occasionally he makes a vahd pomt and has guests on with whom I agree He even lets them speak toeir mmd, although he basically humfli- ates toem with his own rhetoric at toe same tune

The thing he does that bugs me, though, is bashing “The Press,” hke ifs a whole separate entity Doesn’t he realize he wntes a newspaper column, pubhshes an onhne Web site, does a radio show and a television show?

How much more “The Press” can you be’

Township board members (from left) Dan Hernman, Kay Arnold, Steve Mann, Marilyn Massengill, Ron Edwards and Trustee Chuck CurmI take to the field at the new Lake Polnte Soccer Park, officially opened during a rlbbon-cuttlng ceremony Tuesday

Township kicks off soccer parkBY BRAD KAORICH

STAFF WRITER

Sandi Cummins’ son, James, is an avid soccer player, so 'Riesday’s nbbon-cuttmg ceremony at Plymouth Township’s new Lake Pomte Soccer Park held special interest for her

She’s a resident of Lake Pomte, and she and James will now be within walking distance of the new fields

“I hope a lot of his games are played here, because we won’t have to worry about traffic,” Cummins said “We can just walk here”

The nbbon-cuttmg marked the openmg of the $12 million park, which includes two soccer fields, a pavilion available for rental for gather­ings, parties and the like, afid a small playscape for children

T h o u ^ the 14-acre park, located on Haggerty near M-14, is now officially open, organized play won’t begin on the fields until the fall

The land for the park came m pieces Supervisor Steve Mann likened to a jigsaw puz­zle The township already owned seven acres of the land, but it was land-locked When Marcello Scappatticci developed the Ereckenndge condo­miniums, Mann said, he dedicated 16 acres just north of the township’s parcel

The township then purchased a five-acre par­cel east of the land-lo^ed piece, which gave the park access to Haggerty The final land was acquired when the township bought a portion of an adjoining parcel Township officials then worked with officials at New Morning School, which abuts the park, to widen and improve

Matt Edwards (in head band), 12 of Plymouth, practices on the new field with the O'Connor brothers (from left to right) Andrew, 9, Peter, 5, and Scott. 12, all from Plymouth Township

access from Lake Pomte subdivision“Through these partnerships the township

was able to make fins the best park possible,” Mann said “We have captured, through the cre­ation of the park, an open space with long views and vistas within a rather developed area that will be a training ground for our youth ”

Cummins, the soccer mom, agreed the park was beautiful

“I fiiink it’s magnificent the way they devel­oped the land, because it was useless before,” Cummins said “1 love the rolling hills and ^ the grass It’s gorgeous”

the Schoolcraft College Board of Trustees for 11 years - was noticeably absent Monday at South Lyon’s Walnut Creek (jolf Course for

a fund-raiser to benefit a sdiol- arship fund for the Schoolcraft College Foundation

That’s when friends became concerned

“He just wouldn’t plunk down the money to play and not show up,” said Mary Breen, DeVnes’ longtime friend, col­league at Livonia Public Schools and fellow Sdioolcraft board member “When he did­n’t show up, then no one could get a hold of him, we thought something was up ”

About'24 hours later, there was still no sign of DeVnes, so Schoolcraft College dispatched a public safety officer to the On The Pond Condominiums, located on Eight Mile just east of Gill Road The officer opened the door to DeVnes’

^Ua iii»( timiiM*''* nliinif finmniiv jusi Wviiiuii i piiini% uuwn the money to play and not show up. When he didn't show up, then no one could get a hold of him, we thought something was up.'Mary Breenlongtime friend

three-1and made a gnsly discovery shortly after 2 p m

DeVnes, 64, was found stabbed to death, a victim of “multiple wounds” inflicted by a knife, said Livonia Police Lt Ben McDermott

Investigators continue to interview people who knew the lon^ime Livonia res­ident m search of possible sus­pects and reasons for his slay­ing

“All indications are that this was not a random act of vio­lence,” McDermott said “We’re still examining multiple theo- nes and motives, but it appears he probably knew his attacker”

An autopsy on DeVnes’ bocty was conducted Wednesday in

search of more clues McDermott said the autopsy’s findings should give investiga­tors a better indication of when DeVnes died

“This could have happened sometime over the weekend,” McDermott said “We’re still trying to ascertain whether he was last seen alive on Thursday or Fnday”

Breen, who chairs the seven- person Schoolcraft board, had to call board colleagues and other college officios Hiesday evening to pass the tragic news

“We’re all in shock,” Breen said “Everjfoody can’t believe It and we all want to know what happened”

The investigation is further complicated ty the fact he has no family m the area

He was never mamed and has no children

Most of his family - includ­ing his 90-year-old mother - lives in Texas

“It’s hard finding people who were dose to him,” McDermott said “Ako, he kept to himself, so fins all presents a challenge for u s”

Anyone with information to assist the investigation is asked to call the Livonia Police Department at (734)466 2470

Canton's Rachel Wade gets set to try and complete a double play as South Lyon's Lindsay Noren slides in The Chiefs beat South Lyon, then defeated Salem in the finals

C a n t o n t o n s S a le m f o r t i t leJust what a pitcher doesn’t need Salem scored two runs in the bottom

of the sixth inning and beat Novi, 2-0, m their Division 1 state distnct semifinal at Salem Saturday

Canton got a couple of runs early and held ofiF South Lyon to record a 2-1 victo­ry in the second semifinal Saturday

Which put the two cross-campus rivals against each other m Saturday’s final

So what happens’ Two of the areas best pitchers, Canton’s Molly Conlon and Salem’s Kelli Szczepanski, get locked in a l6-inning duel that is ulti­mately won by Canton, 4-3 That after each of them pitched, and won, their

team’s first game on Saturday The Chieft advance to the state region­

al tournament at Temperance Bedford They play Adrian at 10 a m

“It was a very exciting game on both sides,” said Canton coach Jim Arnold of the final “Both teams played well after the first inning

I t was (nerve-wracking) Both teams wanted it real bad’

The first innmg hardly indicated what kind of game it would end up being Canton scored twice in the top of Ae first, Bnttney Scero starting it with a triple With one out, Heather Richardson tnpled to dnve m Scero,

then scored on a ground out by Lauren Delapaz to make it 2-0

Salem, however, responded with three runs m the bottom of the inning Kait McKinley reached base when her pop up fell in front of Conlon Sarah Amann walked and Cortney Edwards singled, scoring one run After All Proodian hit into a force out, Maureen Bohr was safe on a second error by Conlon, which scored a run to tie it at 2-2 Natalie Szawara hit into a force to deliver the go- diead run

Which is the way it stayed until the

Canton boys make mark at state meet

Figuring a way to gauge Canton’s performance at Saturday’s Boys State Track and Field Fmal, hosted by Rockford HS, ivill lead one into a dilemma

It wasn’t exactly overpowering Finishing 19th can hardly be referred to as such

Then again, the Chiefs did score 12 5 more points than they did last year, when they didn’t score at all

In fact, Canton coach^ob / Richardson could not remember k/ Chiefs’ team scoring that many points at state Certainly not in the time he’s been coaching them, since 1989

“As far as I can remember, we’ve never had this many kids score and vnn medals at state,” he said “We had tons of fun And the kids did ver}' well ”

Brad Waidmann had the best finish for Canton, tying for fourth place in the high jump Waidmann cleared 6 feet, 4 inches

Devm Thomas scored in two events, placing fifth in the 200 meters in 22 2 Thomas also teamed with Andy Rossow, Brandon Reeves and Dave Calille in breaking the school record in the 4x200 relay Their 1 30 00 placed them eighth

Julian Smith also scored for the Chiefs in the long jump with a career-best leap of 21-9% Smith, Brandon Reeves, Calille and Thomas combined to tie the school-record time of 43 3 in the ngn-scormg 4x100 relay

Another school record fell in the 300 hurdles, with Rodney Preston clocking 39 8 but not making the finals Preston set the record earli­er this season at 39 9

Preston also went 151 in the HO hurdles but could not clear the semifinals

The 4x400 relay team of Cyrus Azizi, D’Angelo Pitts, Preston and Rossow came with 7 of its best time, clocking 3 25 6 Rossow, a sophomore, ran the 400 as well and was timed at 52 1

Salem sparkles at stateFor a first trip, Salem’s performance at the

Division 1 state golf finals was a good one The Rocks experienced some trouble on

file Forest Akers West course on the first day, but who didn’t ’ Just one golfer broke 80 and, m a field featunng 15 schools and 79 golfers, only 16 others shot better than 90

For the ^ c k s , who were making their first appearance at the state tournament, they managed to survive the opening round wiA a 399 team score That was good enough to qualify them for Saturdays sec­ond round, which was much better for the Rocks

They improved their score substmitiaUy, shooting 373 — a 26-stroke drop — for a two-day total of772 Salem finished ninth m the state, 10 strokes behind Lavoma Stevenson

Grand Blanc won the state championship With a 685 total NorfiiviUe was second at 714, with Ann Arbor Pioneer third at 722

“We were real pleased,” said Salem coach Rick Wilson “We came back the second day and did improve

“Our goal was to make the cut and play the second ds^, and we did The scores were high across the board — it’s just a diflBcult golf course It’s a very stem test of golf”

One golfer who did manage to put a cou­ple of solid scores together for Salem was Ashley Smith The sophomore followed an 87 opemng round wiA an 83 in the second for a two-day total of 170

STATE GOLF

That allowed Smith to tie for eighth place overall and earned her a medal

Four of Salem’s five golfers saw their scores improve on the second day Jamie Siedlaczek had a 97-89/186, Amyrose Mitchell put up a 105-103/208, and Danielle Powers followed a 112 opener with a 98 for a 210 Knsten Schwan had a 110- 111/221

■The Forest Akers West course, the to u re r of the two courses near the M i^igan State campus m East Lansing, was made even more difficult to play “The tees were not m generous places,” said Wilson T h ^ played from the white tees, which made the course p l^ longer than a typical ladies championship course

“And there’s a lot of undulation m the greens and they cut them closer than usual, which made them play even faster ’

Still, the Rocks adjusted All in all, it was a good weekend for us,” said Wilson “I would have liked to move up a couple of places, but our goal was to make the cut on the first day and improve our score on the second, and we did ”

With only two of the five golfers compet­ing at state lost to graduation, and both Siedlaczek (ajumor) and Smith returmng, Salem’s prospects for an even better year in 2005 are lookmg good

Salem grad Hoskins leaving CMU, will play for Ocelots next season

Salem's Scott Holka (right) couldn't hang on to the ball after Novi's Steve Gawronski ran into him at third base The Rocks held onto enough, however, to upset the Wildcats in the district semifinals

Rocks toppled in finalFTom the heights to the depths —

that’s where Salem’s baseball t e ^ traveled in just a few hours time Saturday at the Division 1 distnct tournament hosted by Salem

The Rocks turned m their best per­formance of the season m their first game of the distncts, shodangNo 3- ranked Novi 8-3

But t h ^ couldn’t sustam that kind of elevated effort Northville, whidbi outscored Canton 14-8 m the other distnct semifinal, kept pushmg runs across the plate against Salem, scor­ing six times m the first en route to a 12-2 five-mnmg mercy win

The Rocks finish fiieir season at 19- 14 Northville advances to the baseball regional Saturday at Ifemperance B ^ o rd

In the win over Novi, the difference was the pitching of Nic England, who allowed three runs on nine hits and two walks, with five strikeouts, and timely hitting England finished the season with a 7-3-1 record

The Wildcats scored two runs in the first to take the early lead, but Salem answered with three runs m the third

It started with a lead-off sin^e by Mitc^ Hosch, a sacrifice bunt and a sin^e ly Steve Cox, sconng Hosch An infield hit by Drew Parling put two runners aboard and, vwth two out, Andy Thackabeny slugged a two-run double to make it 3-2

Novi tied it with a run m the bot­tom of the third, but Salem got two m file fourth on a sm^e by Scott Holka, a walk to Bnan Bradl^, a sacrifice and a two-run single by Cox, making It 5-3

The Rocks iced it with a three-run seventh. Holka and Bradl^ singled to start the rally, Dave Cardenas singled one run in and Cox — who finished file game wifii three hits and five runs batted in — tnpled in two more

It wasn’t the same for Salem against Northville The Mustangs took the same gamble Novi did m the opener, saving their No 1 pitcher for the sec­ond game For Northville, It worked, for Novi, It didn’t

In the five-mmng mercy loss, Dave Cardenas provided all file offense for the Rocks with two hits in two tnps, with two RBI

Racing resultsHarold Fair, J r , had the

fastest time heading into Friday's Late Model fea­ture at Toledo Speedway, but couldn't carry it over into the mam

When Salines lacrosse team found itself down 5-1 at halftime of its match against the Plymouth/Canton Warnors in a Division 4 state tournament quarterfin^, it should have known

A comeback would be very, very difficult In fact, It proved impossible The Warnors

depth, combined with the 90-degree weather, was too much to overcome

Plymouth/Canton advanced to the state semi­finals with an 11-3 tnumph at Canton’s Heritage Park The Warnors meet the winner of the Hartland-Northville game at 6 p m today at Hentage Park.

Plymouth/Canton improved to 15-4 overall, 10-1 in Division 4 Saline finishes at 11-8 over^l, 9-3 m the division

In the end, the top-ranked Warnors — No 1 in their division — ihad more depth than Saline could handle Which meant that even though Saline kept Plymouth/Canton’s leading scorer, John Moylan, under control (he scored “only” two goals), there was a lot more offense to pick up the slack

“We’re deep,” said coadi Mike Costello “We can keep rotating people in We can run three lines

‘With other teams, we can concentrate our defense on stopping one or two guys With us, it’s pick your poison ”

In other words, focus on stopping a scorer of Moylan’s caliber and another will step up Against Saline, that was Bobby Groat, who poured in five goals

Along with Moylan, Jared Ruark had tw’o goals and Phil Lake and Chns Gould got one apiece Moylan and Tim Schroeter each had two assists, Lake, Ruark, Groat and Tim Farrow added one assist apiece

Chns Sorenson was m goal for Plymouth/Canton

STATE LACROSSE

Saline’s goals were scored by Ben Donahue, Grant Phillips and Bnan Borne Adam Wilcox had three assists

Whatever the reason, lOth-ranked Saline never did get mto any type of offensive flow The Warnors’ lead was never threatened, they out- shot Saline 44-15

“We played pretty well all-around,” said Costello “Our defense was very good We had 11 goals, which is OK I ’d like to have a little more ”

As for Thursday’s opponent, the outlook is good for Plymoufe/Canton The Warriors played Northville twice and won, and played Hartland once and won

“So we’re 3-0 against those two,” Costello said, not knowing which one his team would face ‘That’s a good sign

“We’re happy We’re looking forward to play­ing Thursday”

A win in the semifinals will put the Warnors into the Division 4 state final Saturday at TVoy Athens

Plymouth/Canton 13, Grand Blane 2: TheWarnors opened up a 7-0 lead by halftime and coasted to an easy win over Grand Blanc in a first-round Division 4 playoff match Friday at Heritage Park.

John Moylan led the Warner attack with four goals and two assists Phil Lake had two goals and an assist, so did Tim Farrow Bobby Groat added two goals, Jared Ruark contnbuted a goal and an assist, and Austin Gubert and Jeff Brandt each scored a goal

Jeff Samuels and Mike Gregson scored for Grand Blanc

CC pair Snyder-Beydoun net state title in doubles

When It comes to boys ten­nis this season, feere’s Ann Arbor Pioneer and everyone else I

That’s why Bedford Catholic Central tennis coach Joe Stafford said his team would need a miracle to win the state title, but knew that his Shamrocks had a realistic shot at second place in Division 1

And the shot worked Saturday m Midland as CC sent five flights into the finals and wound up tied for second with with Ann Arbor Huron

“I felt that if we played the best we could, we could get second,” Stafford said “We had a very good weekend A lot of guys came through and played big We accomplished all of our goals — winning the Catholic League, the regional and sec­ond m the state

“We have six semors who played well and it ended on a

positive note to be proud of”The Pioneers won with 36

pomts, while CC and Huron had 23 and Grosse Pomte South and Brother Rice had 20

The Shamrocks had one winner and it came in perhaps the best match in the two days as Ryan Snyder and Jason Beydoun beat Pioneer’s Eddie Fornell and Jason Hitchcock in a pair of7-6 (8-6) sets at No 2 doubles

One other Bedford athlete managed to win a state title as well

Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook’s Kyle McNeally teamed with Andrew Fretter for a 6-3,6-3 win over Jeff Taxe and Alex Kahn of Bloomfield Hills Andover to take the No 3 dou­bles title in Division 3

CC also had two flights as runner-up as Kevin Gardner and Chns Atallah lost to Matt

TENNIS

Globerson and Adam Markovitz of Pioneer, 6-4,6-2 Manuel Bartolo and Victor Ansara lost to Pioneer’s WiU Darwall and Devin Lhlbert at No 4 doubles, 6-0, 6-3

The toughest loss came in the semis at No 3 singles

After losing the first set to Huron s Tim Wu, 7-6 (7-3), Kevin Bender trailed in the second set, 5-3 and was faang match point at 40-30 But Bender dawdled too long m preparing to receive the serve and was called on It Since he’d already been warned, he lost the point and the match

CC’s other semifinahst was Nick Carroll at No 4 singles as he lost to Rice’s Billy Gardner, 6- 3,6-4 Andrew Lulek got to fee quarterfinals at No 2smgles, as did Bntton Stede at No 1

CC escapes Falcons Shamrocks secure spot in regionaiin semifinal test, 2-1

It was a battle of wills as much as it was a battle of pitchers in Saturday s district baseball semifinal between Farmington and Catholic Central

And once the Shamrocks made a key defensive stop, they started to do the job at the plate and wound up with a 2-1 win over the Falcons in eight innings

‘Both kids pitched well,’ Farmington coach Pete Finn said of his own pitcher, Jeff Fischer, and CC’s Mike Monterey ‘ But CC did a great job at the short game Against a team like that, you have to play almost flawless baseball ’

The pitchers did a fine job, helped m part by a generous stnke zone that gave them a low pitch to the right part of the plate

Fischer never gave up more than a hit an inning and struck out 12 with two walks Monterey gave up five hits with six strikeouts and one walk

That was the best game between two pitchers we’ve seen all year, CC coach John Salter said “Fischer threw great and so did Mike

But CC’s defense played like the girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead — when it was good it was very good, but when it was bad it was horrid

In the first inning, Farmington’s David Justice reached base on an error and had worked around to third with two out Justice tried stealing home, but catcher Eric Vojtkofsky took the pitchout and was ruled to have the tag in before Justice touched the plate

The Falcons (23-9) did score their only run in the fourth as Tom Scott reached on a fielder’s choice and scored on a single by Steve Kish CC, on the other hand, struggled through the first five innings and managed a hit an inning, but only two runners got as far as second

CC s lift came in the sixth as Farmington s Burny Mitchem reached on a single and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt

Kish then got out and hit a single to center field Anthony Sabo fielded the ball on one hop, threw a pea to Vojtkofsky at the plate to nail Mitchell

The Shamrocks got one

back in the sixth as Ryan Gallagher reached on an error and scored on another They could have had more, with runners on second and third and ju st one out, but Fischer got a strikeout and groundout to end the inning

After stranding runners at first and second with no outs m the seventh inning, CC got the game-winner in the eighth as Vojtkofsky walked and courtesy runner John Carrier took second on a sin­gle

Sabo dropped a bunt down the third base line that Fischer fielded and threw to second baseman Matt Cummings covering first The ball, Cummings and Sabo arrived at the same time Cummings and Sabo stopped at the base, but the ball kept going into foul territory and Carrier scored the game-win­ner

Derek Brooks was 2-for-3 for CC, while Rzeppa was 2- for-4 Kish also had a 2-for-3 day for the Falcons

RU tops SpartansThe first semifinal on the

day was also a 2-1 game as Bedford Union beat Livonia Stevenson for the third time this season

“Everything we hit, we hit right at them, Stevenson coach Harvey Weingarden said after his team finished7-22-1 For example, Kyle Thom is hitting 430 on the year and must have 35 sin­gles and doubles But he hit the ball on the screws four times today — right at peo­ple That s how our day went

Kurtis Fortin scored Stevenson s lone run as he reached on a single and wound up scoring on a single from Brad Schmitz

RU got both Its runs in the third With the bases loaded, David Hillson was hit by a pitch to score Adam Pelc, then Tom Sweeney scored on a groundout

Clayton Pack took the loss for Stevenson, allowing two earned runs, five hits, two walks and two strikeouts, but hit three batters Mike Kuczewski got the win for RU with a six-hitter, a walk and a strikeout

David Van Dusen was 2- for 3 to lead RU, while Mike Evenson and Portm were both 2-for-3 for the Spartans

BASEBALL DISTRICTS

After a pair of 2-1 games in the Division 1 distnct baseball semifinals at Bedford Catholic Central this past Saturday, it could be expected that the final between Redford Union and CC wouldn t live up to the games before it

As far as the final score, that might have been true as the Shamrocks avenged a 2003 semifinal loss to RU with a 5-1 to advance to Saturdays regional against host Allen Park.

But it was as exating as a 5-1 win can be — with rallies? outstanding pitching and a good, old-fashioned in-your-face argument

It’s nice to get the win We haven’t been worried about handling paperwork for regionals in four years,’ CC coach John Salter said after being given an envelope addressed to the c o a ^ of the winning team “But we got a couple of key hits And we only gave up two runs all day, so I was pleased with the pitching’

The win — CCs first distnct crown since it was state runner up m 2000 — was set up by a 2 1 eight inning win over Farmington in the semifinals Redford Union (8-22) advanced with an identical 2-1 win over Livonia Stevenson

The Shamrocks (22-9) provided the fire­works all around m tiie finals — at the plate, on the mound and on die bases m an madent that caused the ejection of one RU coach and banishment of another to die bench

By the second inning, CC had all of the runs it would need Drew Amble led off the game with a single and wound up scoring on what would be the first of six RU errors Derek Brooks proved to be the winning run in the second as he had a one-out double and scored on Ambles triple

CC made it 4-0 m the third as Enc Vojtkofsl^ reached on a fielder’s choice and courtesy runner Anthony Sabo wound up scoring on a single and error Rzeppa then scored on a single by Mike Monterey

Meanwhile, CC pitcher Bobby Henderson set down the Panthers in order in the first three innings But in the bot­tom of the fourth, RU second baseman Mike Kuczewski led off with a double, went to third on a sacrifice and scored on a single by David Van Dusen

But m the next at-bat, CC made the Panthers pay for the run — literally With one out and runners on first and second Monterey hit a ground ball to Meyers at short The throw pulled Kuczewski off the

CC's Nate Rzeppa is tagged out at second by Farmington s Matt Cummings on a steal attempt in Saturday s district semifinal

bag at second, just as Joe Dudzmski slid near second, but well out of the basepath, to break up the double play

Kuczewski crumpled to the ground (and eventually left the game with what proved to be a fractured ankle and ligament dam­age in his knee), but umpire Bob Czech ruled that the slide was legal and refused to call interference In the ensuing argu­ment, one RU assistant coach was ejected and another banished to the bench

They should have had a warning (in the third inning), said RU coach Mike Taylor who wound up having to have a player coach first base for the remainder of the game (Dudzmski) took off and caught him m the ribs

The slide also took the wind out of RU s sails CC got a run back in the sixth as Mike McDonald reached on a fielders

choice and scored on a groundout RU ’ managed only one hit in the next three innings — a seventh-mnmg single by ' David Hillson — while Henderson man- aged five of his seven strikeouts in that stretch

“We never got into an offensive flow and* we had some bobbles on defense,’ Thylor said The kids battled hard to put the sea-^' son behind them and get to the finals

Amble was 3-for-3 with a run scored and ' an RBI, Rzeppa was 2-for-3 with two RBI ‘ Henderson wound up walking one batter, ’ while Jason Halliday allowed eight hits and two walks with two strikeouts for RU ^

“We had a couple of defensive lapses on the day, but we got over it, said Salter, whose team will play host Allen Park at 1 p m in Saturday s regional opener “We scored a couple of runs when we needed ’ ^

Don't let summer drag your bowling game downSummertime, and the bowl­

ing IS easyIs that how the old song

goes’Oh well, summer is a fine

time to tune up your skills The line rates are dieaper, it’s easi­er to find open lanes and the bowlmg centers appreciate your business

Did j^u struggle to make certain spares last season’

I sure did, as the ten pmdrove me up

the wall and I lost confi­dence in my comer shot

There is nothing that will drag your average down more than

t '

Ten-PinAlley

Al

missing spares Thke the extra time in the sum­mer to prac­tice malung your most difficult shots, what­

ever they may be You w ll be glad when the next season rolls around

We are inclined to work at our physical game the most — the approach, the timing, the release and follow-through This IS good and it should help you score better in league play when the pressure is on

John Jowdy is one of the finest coaches in the nation, even the top pros seek his advice

He knows bowlmg back­ward, forward, mside-and-out

An American Bowling Congress and Pro Bowlers Association hall-of-famer, Jowdy has wntten many arti­cles and books on the sport One of his most recent articles deals with “The Power of Positive Bowling ”

He calls it an element m a bowlers’ game that requires proper execution together with bowlmg smarts This is the

area that rewards a thinking player

Professionals are afforded the services of bowling ball representatives These special­ists have made saentific stud­ies of ball surfaces, pm place­ments and sophisticated weight blocks

Amateurs who do not have access to ball reps have the alternative choice of seeking advice from their pro shop operators or competent coach­es

Take it from Jowdy as gospel, competency is the k^^ here Bowling is overstocked with wannabe experts Serious play­ers should seek out qualified coaches m order to absorb accurate information m proper execution, as well as the men­tal aspect of the game

All of the bool^, manuals and tapes as good as they may be cannot inject the essential ingredients into any individu­als mental game Possessing the power of positive bowling IS the principal ingredient for bowling success

Many star bowlers on the PBA Tbur have struggled on certain aspects of the game, but have become successful by learning all about varying lanes conditions, the right equip­ment for vanous lanes and all of the knowledge that they can put into attaining better results on tour

"Winning is a proper blend of proper execution and men­tal ability,’ Jowdy said

The world-renowned bowl­ing coach, Dick Ritger, had mastered the power of positive bowlmg m his competitive career m which he won 20 PBA titles and would have won many more had he chosen to stay on tour

He elected to devote his efforts to a teaching career that has taken him everywhere across the globe He became one of bowling’s most respect­ed instructors

These great mentors, Jowdy

and Ritger, have infused their knowledge to many of the top professionals of today who are making it big on the pro tour I would also state that the emo­tional part of the game is important to master as well

I have seen very good bowlers m big money tourna­ments “lose it” after a bad break and never get back on track

The message here is simply put, learn everything you can about your equipment, lane conditions and your own abili­ty to concentrate on your game That is the power of pos­itive bowlmg

There was not sufficient funding for the Professional Women’s Bowling Assoaation to go on tour this season There was simply not enough to secure a spot on TV

No no tour Some of the women are

expected to try out for the reg­ular (PBA) men’s tour which will be televised It is a shame that not enough sponsors would step up and help sup­port the ladies, they silways put on a good show

A few of the women have already made their bids to qualify for the show, too early yet to tell, lets hope some of them are going to make it to the televised finals That would go a long way to get their own show back on the tube

There are those negative thinkers who will say, “Women don’t have the stamina to keep up with the men ”

Not true lady professionals have bowled a ngorous sched­ule while on tour, very compa­rable to the men s routine

Just give them a fair chance to compete on an even basis, that’s all they ask

sixth inning Scero started Canton’s rally with a base hit, she was sacrificed to second by Rachel Wade Scero was forced at third on Richardson’s ground ball, but Richardson managed to take second dunng the rundown A single by Delapaz scored her to make it3-3

In the nine innings that fol­lowed, “We had some chances,’ Arnold said, but the Chiefs could not score — until the l6th A walk to Richardson got things started, Delapaz sacn- ficed her to second Then with two out, Molly Przybylski came through with the big hit that had eluded the Chiefs for much of the game, her single to nght field sconng Richardson

Conlon got Salem in order in the bottom half of the inning to give the Chiefs the victory

and the distnct championship Canton takes a 26-8-1 record into the regionals Salem fin­ishes at 22-10

Conlon was outstanding after the opening inning For the game, she allowed three runs (one earned) on eight hits and one walk, striking out 18 Szczepanski gave up four runs on 12 hits and one walk in 16 innings, fanning seven

Scero and Ridiardson each had a single and a tnple for the Chiefs, and Delapaz and Przybylski had a single and a double apiece, Delapaz driving in two runs Szawara led the Rocks with two hits and an RBI

Salem Z, Novi 0: In the dis­tnct semis, the Rocks scored twice in the bottom of the sixth inning to edge Novi Saturday at Salem

A single by Sarah Amann started the Rocks’ game-wm- nmg rally Cortney Edwards followed with a grounder to shortstop, but the throw on the

attempted force out at second was high and both runners were safe All Proodian walked to load the bases with none out, and Maureen Bohr made the Wildcats pay with a single to nght-center field, sconng two runs

“Our defense looked great,” said Salem coach Bonnie Southerland “I’d still like to see our bats going a bit better

Szczepanski earned the shutout with a superb pitch­ing performance She tossed a one-hitter, walking three and sinking out five The loss went to Alyssa Wagner She gave up two runs on three hits and three walks, striking out five

"We had a couple of unforced errors, and it \ras just an untimely hit,” said Novi coach Kevm Sutherland “And we couldn’t get a timely hit ”

Indeed, Novi’s oiUy hit came from Sarah Thelen, afourth- inmng single fhat put two Wildcat runners aboard and was their only real sconng threat

Patrick O'Neill and Holly Dapollto stand m the lower level of their home, an Irish pub, which also features a sports theme and game room The home will be one of five featured on the 2004 Plymouth Symphony Spring Home Tour on Sunday

Home tour benefits Plym outh Sym phony

The 2004 Plymouth Symphony Spnng Home Tour is expected to live up to its name

“The Bold and the Beautiful” in design and space is this year’s iheme for the tour, a fund-raising event to benefit the Plymouth Symphony Orchestra And if you like bold styles incorporated into a variety of homes, you’ll find it on this year’s tour Sunday (See related chart)

K C Mueller, co-chair of the tour and member of the Plymouth Symphony League, described the homes as “super” ‘T he homes were chosen for their archi­tectural designs and historical signifi­cance,” Mueller said “We like to choose homes that are totally different, so we have lots of variety and you can get lots of ideas”

While this year’s tour features modem design and decor in the five homes (four m Plymouth, one in Northville), it ^so features some rooms Mueller believes the men will enjoy, whether it is sports para­phernalia, ari^itectural design or land­scaping

“Pat O’Neill’s entire lower level is an Irish pub with a sports theme,” Mueller said **Hc has jerseys on display, created a game and TV room ”

The 5,400-square-foot home features a rustic-colored reverse staircase made of wrought iron, created with a combination of four colors The great room gives a beautifiil view of the yard, the den fea­tures more sports memorabilia, while the foyer features a chandelier from the old Crowl^s Department store in Detroit, found at an antique shop in '^silanti The m ^te r suite also has a beautiful view of the waterfalls and the yard

Kevin and Karen O’Keefe’s home faced major renovations after the couple pur­chased It m March 1999 They removed walls to the living room and dinmg room, added tresses and created a two-story foyer, and more space upstairs Hardwood floors were installed through­out the first floor

The sun room is a converted screened- m porch Wainscoting, custom tnm, crown molding and newel posts add ele­gant touches roughout the home

Renovations were difficult because intenor walls were made of concrete, Mueller said “They really did a stupen­dous job on the house,” Mueller said “He’s very creative and she helped him with the design ” Karen used a nautical theme in the home, as Kevin loves boat­ing

Jim and Connie Adams’ “Nantucket cottage” features hickoiy- wood floors, high ceilings and crown moldings and many lake-tihemed pieces Jim’s desk fea­tures replicas of antique cars he owns

A second-story window adds light to the dmmg room area and great room atmosphere The great room contains a fireplace replicated by Vita Homes from a magazine, an oak wardrobe closet and antique books in a pine chest

The master suite has stepped ceilings, wide soffits and a “bumped-out” sitting area The master bath features a white claw-footed tub, two pedestal sinks and a sl^^light

Brent and TUmmy Gephart updated their classic coloni^ after moving into the home in 2002, painting the extenor of the home different colors and updating the landscaping

The home features a glass and oil lamp collection The family room has a Spanish chest, and ongmal paintings by Robert Lebron Upstairs the couple remodeled

The yard of Larry and Jane Jenkins features plenty of ins

G ardens beckon as tou rs beginIn 1997, Larry and Jane

Jenkins moved to a new subdivision in

PlymouthAs with landscapes in

new subdivisions, the couple was left with hard clay and no vegetation in their yard

“It was all clay,” Larry remembers

Evergreens were plant­ed on ffie berm and they added sod, shrubs and flowers Sooninses, daylilies, roses, peonies, phlox, honeysuckles and hostas dotted the land­scape Clematis now grows along the wall

“It was hit or miss,’*Jenkins said of his gar­den

“If we didn’t like it, we dug it up”

But they eventually got it the way they liked it Organizers of the Ninth Annual Flowers are Forever Garden Walk m Plymouth liked it, too, as the Jenkinses’ garden is one of SIX stops on the walk on Tuesday, June 22 (See related chart)

Organized by the IVailwood Garden Club, ffiis year’s garden tour stops at a poolside, a pond, a French countrj^ide, a park and even some meditation and prayer gardens

This walk consists of five pn- vate gardens and the gardens at St John’s Conference Center at Five Mile and Sheldon

MARKET PLACE

Brick walks wander around both sides of the home

Among the garden elements featured will be an m-ground pool, terracing, waterfalls and a labynnth, according to Georgia Randinitis, president of the Trailwood Garden Club

But It isn’t all about blooms, either, to get a garden on the tour Designs are probably more impor­tant, Randmitis said “People are always trying to do new things,” she said

“You might hear from somebody that somebody else has a wonderful gar­den, or you’ll jiist drive by and knock on their door,” Randmitis said ‘We try to get gardeners who have worked on their own yard, though some have had pro­fessional landscaping done”

*We like to have a vanety of features and we try to get water features T li^ love ponds and we have an in-ground pool this year” Terracing in another yard helps break up a flat level field

Among the TVailwood Garden Qub’s projects are plantings in downtown Plymouth, a bird feeder and planting at West TVail Nursing Home, the Plymouth Fall Festival perenmal exchange, Chnstmas decorations at the Plymouth Historical Museum, Michigan 4-H and Detroit Agncultural Network

The Jenkinses also have bird feeders attract goldfinch, cardinals, nut hatches, woodpeckers, wrens, doves and sparrows (too many sparrows, they add)

“We relax on the palao and watch the wildlife and birds that feed in our small paradise,” the couple wrote in their descrip­tion

The Salvation Army provides approximately 1.8 million meals a year for individuals and fami­lies in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.

Tony V s will reward its regular shoppers who donate with a $400 voucher toward any spa, and free furniture with any sunroom bought dur­ing the food drive Both vouchers can be trans­ferred to a friend or fami­ly member

Also, Tony V s will donate $100 for every spa and $500 for every sunroom sold during that period

Hours are 10 am to 7.30 p.m June 10-11,10 a m to 6 p m June 12, and 11am t o 4 p m June 13.

i am the queen of clutter. I have piles of laundry, cluttered counters, stuffed closets, and lots

of miscellaneous Junh. I cannot find anything and lamembarrassed when people come to visit Is there any hope for me?

DomesticPlanner

Clutter IS a common prob­lem in most households You are not alone m your

struggle with clutter Clutter accumulates m a

house for several reasons First, there are a lot of things available to buy therefore there IS a lot of stuff to organize in your house

Secondly, it takes time and discipline to put things back where they belong

Too much Stuff and lack of time and discipline are the No 1 enemies that cause clut­ter

Everyone must (feal with clutter m his or heiTife, even th e ‘organized person’ The minute you walk to the mail­

box and bnng in the mail, you have the beginning of clutter You can prevent clutter accu­mulation by dealing with the mail immediately and finding a home for all pieces of paper

The mail only becomes a major problem when you do not act on it and allow it to stack on the counter

Most people avoid dealing with moMntams of mail there­fore the stack continues to grow

The bigger the stack, the less likely you are to deal with it The secret to maintaining organization is to do it now and not procrastinate You can be the leader of an organized castle

CONQUERING THE CLUTTER

GIANT

Schedule time each day tp deal with clutter

Find a place for every item in your house

Enlist the help of your family and do not try to do everythmg yourself

Go through every room clos­et, cabinet, and drawer Remove items you do not want

or need Donate these items to a chanty You will have a gen­erous tax deduction and less clutter *

Avoid the “packrat syn­drome ’

Be patient with yourself The city of Rome was not built m a day and a cluttered house will not be clean in a day

Give yourself a daily pep talk

Create empty shelf and drawer space so there is room for future growth

Drawers and closet doors should close easily without items being crammed into lim­ited space

CLUTTER CONTROL

Assign daily tasks for each family member

This would include things like folding laundry, loading and unloading the dishwasher, taking out the trash, making the bed, and cleaning die bath­room

Shop conservatively IVy not to fill your house with needless items Buy items you need and will definitely use

Routinely purge Donate or discard items you never or

infrequently use If you have six cookie sheets and you use four, share the other two with someone else

Be ruthless when it comes to keeping counters and floors free of clutter

Items that are not being used should be returned to their home

Your house is your casfleIt IS a place to relax and reju­

venateIt should not be a battle­

ground of defeat and stress First, conquer the clutter giant, and then daily maintain clutter control

You will claim victory and rule your castle with order and control

CREEK CONVERSION

Marv and BCaren Morans garden is also on the tour The couple converted an old creek bed into an area with hostas and astilbes

More than 100 hostas decorate the yard They grow so well in the hill side area, Marv said The creek is a damp shaded area, while the yard area closer to the house gets more sun

Our place is a do it yourself yard,” Moran said Because it is an informal layout plants are moved and beds are reconfigured every year to accommo date the changing sizes of larger shrubs and trees Black eyed Susans, bee balm and columbine also add beauty to the yard

Marv is the one with the green thumb” and began sculpting the yard after the couple bought their home in 1988

With its unique topography, both sun and shade gardens thrive A foun tain and small^ponds relax visitors with their sounds A park bench gives a different view of the yard

Local shelters overfill with mixed breeds

rAboutAnimals

Dr. Brad

Puggles Doxeagles Labradoodles They sound like creatures

from The Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, or maybe read like e names of bar league

softball teams Nope These

are ‘breeds ’ I’ve seen at my clinic recently

No, no, no, they’re not real breeds They’re mixed breed dogs with two breeds’ names merged togeth­er

Most of the dogs seen in my practice are

mixed breed, and certainly make wonderful pets

Everyone who has a place in their home and in their heart should go to a shel­ter and get themselves great friend that fits their lifestyle, be it a champion full blooded pedigree or a Kmnardly (as in ‘ Kmnardly tell what itIS ’)

Shelters overfill with mix breeds, and most of them end up not getting a home, a case of too many pets hunting for too few homes

‘TSTational statistics indicate that an average o f20,000 ani­mals are euthanized in shelters across the U S every day,” said Nancy Gunmgle, spokesperson for the Michigan Humane Society

‘W ith an estimated 75 per­cent of animals m shelters being mixed breeds, that’s about 15,000 who are eutha­nized for lack of available homes, daily

“The Michigan Humane Society’s three shelters care for over 48,000 stray and unwant­

ed animals each year Because of pet overpopulation, it is a challenge to place them all in new homes ”

Lately I ve seen these dogs come in not from the shelters, but from “breeders People have purchased mixed breeds from pet shops and from indi- viduds for serious amounts of money

Again, the pooches have been great dogs No question about that at d l With the overcrowding at shelteis, though, we really don’t need people purposely making more mixed breed dogs'

“The MHS is not opposed to the responsible, professional breeding of purebreds as opposed to bacly^ard breeders’ who breed animus primarily to make money,” Gunmgle said

“Purposeful breeding of new mixes could create more home­less and ultimately more euth­anized animals, which is counter to the efforts of animal welfare organizations ”

For years, people have told me about their full-blooded cockapoos, even to the point of asking me where to get them registered

They seem disappointed, angered, or just m denial when I explain that cockapoos are cocker spaniel/poodle crosses, or the offspring of that cross

Does this mean they can’t be great pets’ Of course it doesn’t It merely means these dogs should not be sold as full breds

“Purebred dogs aren’t neces- sanly‘better pets,’Gunmgle said

“Purebred dogs are no less likely than mixes to lose their homes due to behavioral rea­sons or for reasons that have nothing to do with the pet, such

as an owner’s illness or financial problems that can lead to a move to no pet housing

‘Approximately 25 percent of pets m shelters like the Michigan Humane Society are purebreds awaiting new, loving homes And they’re right next to mixed breeds who are equal­ly well behaved, healthy and affectionate ”

Of course the bottom line would be, so what?” If some­one wants a labradoodle, or a shepweiiler, or a westiepoo, best of luck

One problem is people spend large amounts of money to get a dog they could be getting from a shelter for a nominal fee

When looking for a puppy, first do all the research Check on breeds/mixes that fit your lifestyle Go to a dog show, or a shelter Don’tju st buy impul­sively

When buying a pup from a breeder, meet the pup’s par­ents, and ask about guarantees on the pup, and health of the parents

Don’t forget the Michigan Humane Society new faends there need you If you end up with a yorkiepoo, a labrachow, or even a Goldbrador Pitnever, they should fit in happily with the family

Just try to make the decision to get one good for you, your family, and for society’s situa­tion in general

I l ’ s E asy To C ritic ize • • •Offering constructive criticism to others can be beneficial but only if the other person is receptive to our comments In teaching situations or during on-the job training constructive criticism is usually necessary to

instruct and help a person develop a trade or vocation However correcting someone even in a kind or skillful manner can be very challenging since we are never sure how the individual may react Many friendships and families have been destroyed because someone has been overly critical of another person s words or actions Knowing when we should offer our comments can also be difficult and we should be fairly certain that our comments are truthful and necessary It often seems so easy to criticize others because We mistakenly believe that we are without fault or are such experts on most everything The Bible tells us that we look at the speck in our brother s eye but we pay no attention to the log in our own (Luke 6 41) Faultfinding and being overly critical of others especially behind their backs are wrong and can become habit forming However kind words are good for the soul and help to build a person up

The w ay of a fool is right in his ow n eyes, but a w i$e m an ttstens to advice, R S V Proverbs 12 15

Here are tips to use around the homeBY JAMES AND MORRIS CAREY

FOR AP WEEKLY FEATURES

Although we usually tackle a specific project or subject, this time we’re sharing some usefiil tips with you

DECK SAFETY CHECK

Despite good plans, building permits, inspections and build­ing codes, as decks age they can become unsafe

Boards rot, insects destroy wood integrity, and fasteners and railings consequently loosen The result a weakened structure

The bigger and higher (and older) the deck, pordi or bal­cony, the greater is the need for doing things right and for fre­quent checkups

DRILLING CERAMIC TILE

If you’re installing a towel bar, shelf or paper holder, dnll straight and true - and prevent dnll-tip slip and slide Heres how

Make an X by placing two strips of masking tape over your mark Then drill through it, using a carbide tip bit The tape will keep the bit from traveling as it grinds through the surface glazing and on, into and through the softer ceramic back

Ease up toward the end to avoid pushing out the back­side of the drywall or backer board

The cleaner the hole, both through the tile and inside the wall, the better hollow-wall fasteners will grip and hold

CONCRETE PAINTING

Whether you’re adding a touch of color on a concrete bench or table, or paintmg an entire garage or basement floor, here’s a preparafton that retards - if not eliminates - peeling

First wash with warm water, nnse and let dry thoroughly, at

least a dayThen, using a clean pamt-

brush, apply a generous coat of white vinegar as a pre-pamt pnmer Once dry, it will increase the bond, and paints will hold and last much longer

White vinegar pre-wash works well on metal, wood and plastic surfaces, too

CANDLE WAX ON CARPETS

One of the toughest carpet cleanups is melted candle wax

Cover drips with a brown paper grocery bag and gently run a warm iron over the spot

Start with a low tempera­ture, and keep checking and increasing the temperature as you go The heat will liquefy the wax and the paper bag will absorb it

Keep checking and reposi­tioning the bag until all wax is absorbed

Caution Too much heat can damage your carpet Start low and increase heat gradually

HOLLOW-WALL STUD HELPERS

When you open a wall or build new, and have exposed framing, take time to think ahead concemmg things you might want to install in the future

Atop windows, add extra lumber nailed flush between the studs just below the top plate at each end of the header Later on, you’ll have solid backing for any curtains, valences and accessories you want to install

Add backup blocking any­where you might need extra support later on (for grab bars, shelves or wall-mounted acces­sories)

Not building or opening up a wall’ Add strength and sup­port with surface-mounted half-inch-plus lumber

For a spiffier look, use a pre­fab shelf instead with plastic laminate on all six sides and matching snap-in screw head covers

RUG CORNERS THAT CURL

Got rug comers that won t stay put and curl and lift up’

All you need is a piece of peel-and-stick floor tile at least a foot square

With a pair of scissors or a utility knife, tnm off each of the corners to form four large triangles Then peel the back mg and stick each one to the underside of the rug, where corners are curling

The tile will straighten the unsightly curl and the extra weight \^1 help keep them flat and in place

BARBECUE TUNE-UP

Ready for summer cookouts, but your gnil isn’t’

Here’s a quick refresher course

Wrap gnll racks loaded with crusty barbecue sauce with aluminum foil (all around with the shiny side in), close the lid and cook on high for 15 min­utes

If the lava rocks below are grease-laden, don t replace them Just turn them over and ‘ cook” them as well

Later, grill racks can be rinsed and brushed to look like new, and grease will have cooked nght out of the lava rocks

Spray high-heat glass windows with glass cleaner, and dab some fine gray fire­place ash on a dampened soft cloth

Rub, and the ash will perme­ate the microscopic pores and reduce surface tension, making cleanmg easier

Oven cleaner adds horse­power, too

The pros and cons of media-center PCs

Rick

For the last few weeks I ve been testing the Gateway 610XL, an

all m one PC built around Microsoft’s IWindows XP Media

Center Edition

In case you re not familiar with it,MCE runs all the same software as regular Windows, but also has a specialremote-based interface for things like

watching TV, playing DVD movies, and listening to music

Its pretty cool In fact, the 610XL is proba­

bly the coolest all-in-one I ve ever seen

It has a 17-inch widescreen LCD, a wireless mouse and keyboard, a built-m speaker system with subwoofer - and a carrying handle so you can move it easily from room to room

Needless to say, the 610 won t take the place of your family-room TV

Its screen is just too small But it’s ideal for a den, dorm room, or small apart­ment

The baseline 610S model is just $799 99, an unbelievably good deal

But consider the top-end 610XL, which for $1,699 99 includes a state-of-the-art processor, huge hard drive, DVD burner, and built-in \vire- less networking

All the models have TV tuners, meaning you can plug in your cable box and watch live TV

Guess what?A 17-inch Samsung LCD

TV - which IS just a TV, mind you - sells for $800 all by itself

The 610 can also record

The Gateway 610 media-center PC starts at just $799 99, an amazing deal for such a versatile system

shows nght to its hard dnve, TiVo-slyle

And It has an interactive program guide thats included free, no subscnption required An 80-hour TiVo costs $300, plus $299 for a lifetime sub­scnption

Every Gateway 6l0 includes a DVD-ROM dnve for watch­ing movies, only the 610XL adds a DVD burner for making permanent copies of recorded shows A basic standalone DVD recorder would cost you about $300

See where I’m going with this‘!>

For less money than you d spend on equivalent stand­alone components, a Media Center Edition PC gives you everything m one compact package

Oh, and lest you forget - its a computer, too'

On the other hand, that is also Its downfall

A TV doesn’t take two min­utes to boot up A DVD player doesn’t crash Excuse me for sounding epical, but when you hand Microsoft Windows

the keys to your entertainment center, problems are bound to arise

Like they did the other day I figured the 610XL would be perfect m front of our elliptical exercise machine, as we could use it to watch live TV, record­ed shows, or DVDs

I left it in standby mode so it would start up more quickly

When my vnfe came in for her workout, she pressed the power button - and the system promptly crashed

Well, that’s Windows for you

But even so, you’d be crazy not to consider a machine like the Gateway 610 for your next PC

Itsjust that cool

temperatures naturally make most homeowners think about the summer season ahead

This spnng, don’t just think about It Use the milder weath­er to get your property in tip­top shape so you can relax once the sunny days amve

“Spnng IS the perfect time to tackle the little fe-up projects you don’t want to hassle with

when the weather is nice,” says Keith Hahn of Handyman Connection, one of the nation’s largest home-improvement companies

“Plus, you’ll have your home looking great before you and your friends head outside for those bacl^ard get-togethers ”

Start with the deck or patio Clean weathered deck boards with a biodegradable deck

cleaner Replace worn boards Check railings for looseness

or wear, and repair them if needed

Then ensure your deck looks great all summer by protecting It from mildew and water damage with a high-quality finish and preservative

Once the deck is done, Hahn suggests inspecting the exteri­or of your home for signs of

mold or mildew growing on wood, vinyl or aluminum sid­ing Ihere are many effective and easy-to-use EPA-regis- tered products for killing mildew, cleaning away ihe discoloration and protect­ing surfaces from future growth While you’re checking the outside of your house for mildew, also be on the lookout for cracfe or holes in siding or

Homeowners warm to tankless heatersBY DAVID BRADLEY

FOR AP WEEKLY FEATURES

Americans love their hot water Lots of it * And while tankless water heater^ deliver unquenchable supplies of on-demand hot

i water, many homeowners are warming to other benefits of these appliances big energy and water savings

According to a water heater expert, tanWess versions can lop 30 percent to 50 percent off water heating costs com­pared to traditional water heaters On-demand heating doesn’t waste water by allow­ing the flow to run until warm enough for use

“A typical 40-gallon heater is like running your car all night in the garage until you drive It,” said Peter LaRose of Nelson and Small, a Northeastern U S distributor of top-rated Rmnai tankless ^eaters“ W hy have a water heater ^running when you don’t need ;jt? A tankless system uses no

energy until you turn on the faucet ”

Tank systems guzzle energy nearly all day to maintain a preset temperature As water cools, the system kicks on to reheat water The cycle repeats day and n i ^ t whether anyone is home or not

And as many morning bathers who are last m line for a shower can attest, a tank water heater often can’t keep up with high-volume demand for showers, spa-like tubs and whirlpools LaRose says only about 30 percent of a tank is drawn off before water must be heated again

“It’s an illogical way to heat w ater”

European homes use two or more tankless heaters to off­set energy costs several times higher 1han in North America But the demand for hot water - and lots of it - makes the U S marketdiffer- ent

unit better suited to Amencan homes and Amencan appetites for hot water

The compact natural gas unit IS wall mounted inside or outside a home Sensors detect when a faucet is turned on, forcing water over a thin copper plate heated by 32 smdl burners The unit is vented outside

The compactness of the heater - 18 inches wide by 27 inches high - makes it a space saver No mechanical room is necessary

Homeowners use digital keypads to preset water tem­peratures to various rooms

Control pads are typically installed in laundry rooms, master baths or kitchens

The keypads resolve safety issues, too

Scalding water is a danger to small children or older adults Tank systems heat water 130 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, well above the 120 degrees Fahrenheit comfort zone for most showers Once

and out of the way by the time those warmth lovers are start­ing to spread and need more room

At the other end of the grow­ing season, lettuce transplants can be popped into the ground as soon as space becomes avail­able, such as where you have cleared away spent bush bean and corn plants

Cabbage, broccoli, endive and Chinese cabbage take longer to mature than does let­tuce, but can similarly be fitted into either end of the growing season You can even do this with vegetables that you direct- seed, rather than transplant

Such vegetables include quick-maturing ones like spinach, radish, turnip and cress Beets, carrots, peas and bush beans stay in the ground longer - for about two months - but the growing season is still long enough to make the ground on which they grew yield tw’o or more crops

d o o r d ile m m a sBr JAMES AW MORRIS CAREY

FOR AP WEEKLY FEATURES

As Winter turns to spring, wet weather diminishes and the soil around your home begins to dry out

Often within a few weeks after beautiful weaftier begins, ugly things occur mside your home

Doors that once worked smoothly begin to rub and grab, won’t close or no longer are aligned at the latdi - pre- ventmg the door from being properly latched or locked

As the soil dnes out, it shnnks and shifts and, as a result, your home’s underpin­ning also moves This results in house movement that can radi­cally tweak and twist one or more of your home’s door frames

D o o rs that rub can be quick­ly fixed w ith a sm all block plane o r a pad Sander

Keep in mind that this con­dition will most likely reverse itself as winter rams return, so be careftil not to overdo the remo^^ of what will again become precious door material So, plane or sand sparingly

FIXING ALIGNMENT

Once the door operates smoothly, you m i^ t encounter anoftier problem The hard­ware may no longer be in alignment This is indicated when the door is closed and the bolt in the door latch doesn’t interlock with the hole in the m et^ strike plate on the door frame This also is an easy repair First, find out how severe the problem is - usually diere’s not a great amount of misalignment

A tube of lipstick will make diagnosis quick and easy Ib determine alignment, rub the face of the bolt with lipstick Make sure the lipstick fully cov­ers the curved end of the bolt iTien, close the door Once the door IS reopened, the lipstick fix>m the end of Ae bolt will have been transferred to die stnke plate, and the prease extent of the misalignment will be visible Then, either move the stnke plate (up or down to realign), or file the upper or lower portion of the opemng in the plate - dependmg on winch side IS preventing the bolt from entering the opening

We prefer the filing method, whenever possible Filing is easier than expanding the mor­tise, relocating the strike plate (not to mention the stnke plate screw holes), and puttying up the resultant gap that exists once the plate has been relocat­ed And even a rough file job won't be noticed Don't use a wood rasp It won’t do the tnck Also, if you first remove die stnke plate and place it m a vise, you will be able to use full, even file strokes, and the result will be neater and more even Long, even file strokes are easi­er to make than the short, scratchy ones that have to be made when the plate is left in

placeSome minor wood removal

may have to be done once the plate opemng 18 enlarged A lit­tle chiseling here is aB that will be needed

Safety note An extra-sharp chisel IS always s^er dian a dull one So be sure to pull out the oil stone and hone the chis­el’s tip before using it

When a wood ciusel has been property sharpened, it often can be used effectively without the ass^tance of a hammer Simply place die tip where you want It, and apply pressure

You don’t have to be very strong This assumes your door frames are made of a soft wood, such as pine You will need to use a hammer when altering most hardwoods, such as oak or ash

FIXING HOLES

If the strike plate is flopping around on the door frame - and tightening the screws won't work because the screw holes are stopped - here’s an easy repair

Don’t waste time at the hard­ware store looking for longer, fatter screws Instead, reuse die screws you have after repainng the worn-out screw holes with simple household products

■ First, gather your tools andmatenals Go to the pantry and grab a few toothpicks You will also need some white glue or carpenter’s glue and a screw- dnver

■ Tb begm the repair, use die screwdriver to remove the loose screws and the stnke plate, and set them aside

■ Dip the tips of the tooth­picks in the glue (about a half­inch or so) and insert as many of them into the screw hole as will fit Usually two or three will do the tnck Hand pres­sure IS ail that will be needed here

■ Let die glue dry for at least 12 hours This project won’t work unless the glue is com­pletely dry Attempting to replace the screws before the glue dnes will pull the tooth­picks out of the hole, and you’ll have to start over

■ Next, break off the exposed portions of the tooth­picks and reinstall the stnke plate The screws will mount as if they are going into the wood for the first time YouwiUbe amazed at how easy this repair IS, and how well it works

The puppy promptly gnawed off an area around the com er of two wooden windowsills in the bedroom.How can I repair these without replacing the whole s ill? They are wood with a stain finish.A Growing puppies will chew- on anything in sight They especi^y like doors, carpet and the legs of fine fomiture Sometimes the easiest and

most cost-effective means of repair is to remove the existing damaged material and replace it with new material This is usually the case if the damage is extensive and the material m question can be easily replacedRemoving a wood windowsill can be a major undertaking, so we suggest that you try rebuilding it with an epoxy or two-part wood filler That the windowsill IS stained, rather than painted, makes the repair a little more challenging, but not something that can’t be

accomplished with patience Start by removing any loose materid with a file and sandpaper The surface must be clean, dry and free of grease and oilUse a small drill bit (3/32 or so) to drill multiple holes in the face of the damaged windowsill The holes will help the wood filler bond to the wood Mix the two parts (filler and hardener) according to the directions, and immediately apply the paste to the repair area with a putty knife Apply more matenal than is

needed, and use the putty knife to tool the matenal to match the profile of the windowsill You’ll need to work quiddy, as the filler will be wori^ble for only about 10 inmutes After about 20 to 30 minutes, the repair will be sufficiently hard for you to be able to shape the profile using a sharp modehng knife, plane, file and sandpaper Since epoity wood fillers can’t be stained, we suggest that you use paint to “faux finish” the repaired area TVy to have it blend in with the existing stain

Nancy Hirsh of Rochester Hills,

an artist and friend of the

Wilkins' family, drew this canca*

ture of John Wood III

Dad rules the roost at the Sunday picniclake most daughters, Lisa Wilkins looked up to her

fether with respect while she was growing up in TVoy Her father, John Wood III, loved to barbecue He

spent his adult career m die restaurant business and had die food busmess in him all his life

“I alwa)^ pbserved him,” Wilkms said ‘When he bar­becued, he never left it, and he basted the chickens every 15 mmutes The door (to the j^rd) was like a revolving door, because everyone gathered there It was a place where we made fenuly decisions

“He’s alwajs been a rpaster at food, and we learned that early on” ]

Indeed, a love and appreciation of food has passed on to the children

Tod^ Ijsa and her husband. Tun Wilkms, of Addison Tbwnship, own the White Horse Inn m Metamora, a few mmutes north of Oxford and Lake Onon

And guess who helps out’ Wood, also of Addison, came out of retuement to not only help them wifti the restaurant as a consultant, but he also revived a culinary tradition that began years ago with Wood and his father mOhio

Wood cooks barbecued chicken over a charcoal fire pit, basted with a secret sauce (It remains a secret today, as even Lisa and 'Rm don’t know what it is)

Wood grew up on a in Elmore, Ohio, just southof Toledo When John was about 12, he raised turkej^ on his femily’s farm for a 4-H project with the help of his father John Wood II, who owned an insurance com­pany The firet batch of 50 t u r k ^ died, but father and son went to Zeeland, Mich, and b o u ^ t 50 more for the project

And h a t project eventually evolved mto a femily busmess John Wood II and his son sold turkeys to mar­kets m norhera Ohio

A traditional barbecue chicken dinner fills this plate

One d ^ for a femily picnic, they cooked young turkeys from a reape his fether had obtamecL “T h ^ came out imbehevabfy dehaous,” Wood said And Sund^ dinner ‘Svas a lw ^ chicdcen or turkeys,” Wocxi said

The fenufycookouts led to church picnics Wbodbuilt pits m avocahonal agncultural dass he had mhigh school “When I was ready to graduato, we were doing more and mor^” Wood said That led to afew cookouts with corpo­rate firms in Toledo and even h e summer outing for h e Cedar Pomt employees T h ^ all oijoyed Wood’s feher’s fomouschickoi Wood said his feherw ^ known as h e Barbecue Chicken Man

When Wood went to college. Wood’s foher had the busmess roHmg at lUjon’s lUrkey Farm and Hijon’s Barbecue. Wood helped when he returned m h e summer

T h in k p in k f o r M e d i t e r r a n e a n d i s h e sDry Ros^ (pink) wines have

less resiciual sugar than some California chardon-

nays, and a good deal more depth of flavor and character'

Served chilled, they are versa­tile accompaniments to many flavorful foods and are refresh­ing during warm summer months In fact, most Europeans make dry Ros^ h e ir wine of choice during h e sum­mer

Don’t be hung up by fear of pink wines, as any avid wine drinker will doubtlessly be impressed by your choice of something pink served during h e summer

FOODS THAT WORK WITH ROS^

WINES

Focus on Wine

Spicy foods served m warm weather call for chillable wine w ih more flavor h a n a white, yet a lighter finish than most reds Ros6 contributes mineral and earth impressions as well as fruit to complement the herbed piquancy of popular Mediterranean dishes Ros6 is the wine to drink when it’s hot outside and the food is nch

Pink wines work with Euro- Asian Pacific style food in much the same way they do with

Provencal and Ligunan-influ- enced foods along h e Riviera Because they are strong, vivid and frequently seafood oriented, Caribbean, Hawaiian or Flondian-styie dishes also work well

The “flesh” of pink wines, as opposed to the sharper edge of white wines, and the harder tex­ture of reds, makes Roses ideal with strongly-flavored cuisines of h e sun

Cajun and Mexican-influ­enced dishes are also made more enjoyable with a dry Rose

RECIPE SUGGESTIONS

When choosing recipes to complement Roses, include

Try "3 for 3"It only takes three

weeks to form a new habit, according to the book The Power of Positive Habits by Dan Robey.

The organization 3-A- Day of Dairy is encourag­ing families to "Try 3 for 3" - three servings of dairy a day for three weeks - for stronger bones, better bodies and healthier eating habits. The campaign will recognize the month of June as National Dairy Month

The 3-A-Day of Dairy nutrition-based market­ing and consumer educa­tion campaign was launched by the American Dairy Association/Nationai Dairy Council In January 2003.

During the month of June, 3-A-Day of Dairy will give money back-ta families who purchase milk, cheese and yogurt every week for three con­secutive weeks

And, since 90 percent of mothers find it chai* / lengmg for them and their families to eat healthy snacks,3-A-Day will offer nutri­tious snacking sugges­tions.

Visitors to 3aday.org can use an interactive online tool - the 3- A-Day of Dairy "Snackulator" - which suggests recipes from chefs to match the family's snacking style

Families who purchase a minimum of milk (1 gal­lon), cheese (16 ounces)^ and yogurt (three 6- or 8-ounce cups) every week for three consecutive weeks can get a $5 check to use toward future dairy pur­chases.

“I think the thing he taught me was to alwaj^ take care of the customer,” Wood said of his father (John Wood II died five years ago ) “He delivered all over three different counties, and he always took care of his customers ”

Wood graduated from Ohio State University with a degree in business and home econom­ics, then worked for Greenfield Mills in Columbus

Machus Restaurants opened an eatery at Northland Shopping Center, where Wood was hired and worked as a manager for eight years Then the Machus Adams Square opened in Birmingham Wood worked there John and Lisa’s mother, Lorraine, mamed m 1966, creating a blended fami­ly, with seven children Lorraine’s father died when she was young, while John was divorced

Wood spent the next 30 years with Machus Restaurants (the Red Fox, Sly Fox, Machus Pastry Shops), retiring as vice president (Lisa, who graduated from Lahser, and Tim, who gradu­ated from Seaholm, also met at Machus Adams Square when both were employed there in 1976)

After retinng, Wood did some consulting work, but soon Lisa and Tim tapped him to help them with their busi­ness Wood had made his bar­becue chicken for a family event Lisa and Tim begged him to cook it for customers at the restaurant on Sundays

And that has taken off That led to catered picnics, gradua­tion parties and Metamora Country Days (this year’s is Aug 27-29) One loyal cus­tomer even built huge portable grills to cater to baclyard summer barbecues, gradua­tions, family reunions and weddings

It’s o^y appropriate that this Barbecue Chicken King fires up the charcoal again Sunday — Father’s Day — at the White Horse Inn It will continue through the summer on Sundays

“I guess It’s the pleasure that people get We’ve got this thing here (Wood points to the charcoal pit) and they drive by and say, W hat is it that I smell?’” Wood said

Even today, that basting sauce remains a secret (But Wood provided other barbecue recipes in today’s Thste sec­tion)

Three years ago, Tim and Lisa WilLns bought the White Horse Inn and they appreciate Lisa’s father’s help

The restaurant allowed them to “get away from the fax machines and meetings,” Tim said Wilkins once was a gen­eral manager for Machus Management Services, which operated food service for The Palace of Auburn Hills, Pine Knob, Meadowbrook and Guardian Industries, general manager at Foig^s by Machus in Rodiester, Foxy’s at the Mill in Clarkston, an assistant manager at Machus Red Fox and cook at Machus Adams Square

“What was really wonderful IS that we could make it a fam­ily business,” Tim Wilkins said “I really couldn’t ask for any­thing more with the help and knowledge he has

“He’s really saved us from mistakes from our lack of expe­rience And it’s not often that

Chicken cooks over fhe burning coals on a fire pit John Wood Ill's recipe for the chicken remains a secret, but he shared other recipes for chicken and pork

you can get grandkids workmg side by side with their grandfa­ther

“Knowledge is everything, experience is everything You don’t want to make a mistake ”

Daughter Lisa also appreci­ates her father s help Tim and John work on menu selections and operations, while Lisa works on training, marketing and promotions 'The couple has two daughters, Jennifer and Ashley

The Wilkins aren’t the only ones in the family in the food business Other Wood sib­lings are Kim Osborne, who works as a suite server fOr Palace Sports and Entertainment, Ted, chef and

sales rep for Mama Mucci Pasta Co , and Dean, manag­ing partner for PF Chang’s Troy at Somerset Collection John IS a police officer, Jimmy is a corporate executive who lives in Texas and LuAnn Katko, a homemaker, lives m Ohio Lisa also is executive director of Pheasant Ring, a nonprofit organization to help families with children with autism

It seems the food business — and barbecuing — runs in the family The Sunday meals are further proof of that

‘ It’s something he’s passmg on to his children, grand<±ildren and sons-in-law, Lisa said “It’s a way for everyone to bond

aise your glass, a glass of milk that is, to honor

® ® National Dairy Month Milk is a smart dieting tool An eight ounce glass of skim milk is only 80 calories but it

is chocked full of essen­tial nutrients to strength­en your bones and provide other health benefits Milk has cal­cium, vita­min A, vita mm D, phos phorus, mag­nesium,

riboflavin and protein Calcium IS as important to

adults as it is to children for bone growth and good health Eating or drinking adequate amounts of calcium nch foods throughout life may delay or minimize age related bone loss and decrease the risk of osteopCMTOsis

Ongoing research is show-

Lois

Thieleke

mg that increased calcium protects against hypertension and will lower blood pressure Also this research suggests that a calcium rich diet may reduce the risk of colon can­cer Osteoporosis and low bone mass affect over 43 mil­lion Americans age 50 and over (In Michigan it is esti­mated to affect one and a half million men and women age 50 and over)

If you feel you are at risk, talk to your health care provider Don t rely on a sup­plement to provide your calci­um Drink a glass of milk instead as it offers you much more

All milk has the same nutri­ents, the difference is the calories and fat Skim milk is fat free A change from whole milk to skim saves 24 grams of fat per day if you consume the recommended three cups a day If you think skim milk is too watery tasting, try the following ideas

SerVe milk with a little ‘ piz­zazz”

■ Pour milk into a wine or chilled champagne glass and add a few drops of vanilla, almond, maple or rum extract

■ Make a blender dnnk with milk and fresh or frozen strawbernes, bananas, blue­berries, or any other fruit

■ Add a tablespoon of chocolate and a dash or stick of cinnamon or a vanilla bean

■ Heat skim milk and grate chocolate or grated nutmeg to the top when you serve

■ For real comfort, put a little warm milk m a mug and stir m a little honey

■ Have a lot of milk with your coffee when making cap­puccino

■ Add about a tablespoon of ice cream topping or fla­vored syrup such as hazelnut, French vanilla or amaretto to a glass of hot or cold milk

■ Don t forget the marsh­mallow for a streaming cup of hot chocolate

■ Use milk instead of water when preparing hot cereals or

canned creamed soups or chowders

■ Make a milk/orange juice combination and freeze as cubes, this makes a great nutritious hot day snack for the kids

■ Freeze skim milk in a small bowl until small ice crystals form and then whip Use as a whipped cream alter­native to decorate pies, cakes or other desserts

All fresh dairy products should be kept refrigerated They last longer and taste better when kept cold When shopping on a hot day, buy the milk last and take it straight home Fresh milk will take on flavors or odors from other foods, so keep m a closed, sealed, covered milk container m the refrigerator Canned evaporated or dry milk can be stored at room temperature

When heating milk, don t let it boil or it gets a scum on the top and may scorch Instead heat milk over low heat stirring constantly

When you simmer milk, some of the water evaporates and the milk will taste richer If ' you want the milk to curdle for a recipe, use one table- ’ spoon of vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk and let stand for five minutes to thicken and use instead of buttermilk or sour milk Lighten up recipes that call for whole milk by substituting 1 percent or skim, you 11 get the flavor without the calories and fat

W hat could be simpler than drinking a glass of milk’ It is ready to pour and use Diet soda offer little ^ more than water and artifi- cial sweeteners Milk fills you up, not out, and is a great tide you over or in-

between snack So put down those cookies, doughnuts and Danish, and drink a glass of “ milk for your snack

Grill halibut for a healthy Father's Day meaFor Fathers Day, give dad a

trip to the Mediterranean with­out leavmg the back yard Take over the gnll and cook him a classic Mediterranean meal, con­sidered one of the world’s most healthful cuismes

The staples of Mediterranean cooking are fish, f i^ h \’egetables andfhnt, grams, legumes, toma­toes, garlic and ohve oil - a diet recommended for both w ei^ t management and healfii protec­tion

After decade of study, scien­tists have found a low incidence of heart disease in Mediteiranean countries Cancer researchers have also found that the collective impact of various elements m the Mediterranean diet have dis­ease-protective powers

The Mediterranean diet mcludes daily servmgs of grains, vegetables, fruits, beans, with nuts, cheese, yogurt and ohve oil bemg the mam source of added fet The monounsaturated fats m ohve oil, as well as omega-3 fets m certam fish, are important to

have m file diet for health rea­sons Red meat is eaten only a few times a month, usually on hohdays and ceremonial occa­sions Mediterranean cuisine fea­tures much more fish than meat

There have been a number of warnings lately about impurities m certam types offish The risks are not a concern for most people as long as they do not «cceed the recommended limit two serv­mgs per week, with no more than 12 ounces in total But keep in mmd that many fish are consid­ered completely safe, like hahbut, cod, pollack, mahi-mahi, sar dines, haddock and monkfisli And th ^ contain file healfiiful omega-3 fatty acids that boost healfii protection

Halibut is a meaty, white flat­fish with lean flesh that sta} firm but tender when properly cooked. It has a mild, slightly sweet taste Fresh hahbut is avail­able year-round but is most plen­tiful fiom March through the felL

Along with the marinated fish, whidh cooks quickly and tastes dehaous, gnll some vegetables

Book h igh ligh ts a year 's worth of vegetarian recipesB Y J M HiRSCH

ASSOCIATED PRESS

For Jack Bishop’s family, eating season­ally and locally is simple thanks to a com­munity-supported farm they joined four years ago

Now from June through November the cookbook author, his wife and their two daughters eat what they pick from fields not far from their Sag Harbor, N Y, home

But the message in Bishop’s recent book, A Year in a Vegetarian Kitchen (Houghton Mifflin, 2004, $35), is that you need not live on or even near a farm to appreciate the pleasures of produce at Its prime

“ e r e s no reason why you have to be present when the food is removed from the soil,” he said in a recent telephone interview “But I do believe there are sorts of rhythms that people have gotten out of the habit of

“There’s a reason why you have hearty bean and chili dishes in January,” said Bishop, executive editor of Cook's lUmtrated voajgxzme and one of die stars of

the publications pubhc television show, Americas Ifest Kitdien

Bishop, who describes himself as a“v^- etable nut,” said the experience of preparing and eating foods tied so dosdy to the seasons implied Inm to write a book t walks the home cook throu^ an entire year of meals

There are many reasom to let season dic­tate die menu, he explamed Not die least is taste

“There’s no pomt m buying a tomato grown diousands of miles away m January that has no flavor, and dien spend hours (m the kitchen) trying to hide the fact that it has no flavor,’ he said

Of course die seasonal-local mantra has been echoed by restaurateurs for years, and for good reason But Bishop isn’t pushmg a fancy food agenda He favors simple recipes easily made after a long day of work

I’m just not going to m ^e too many two- or three-hour recipes,’he said Tmnot attempting to do really comphcated or mtn- cate dishes, and that s not what people should be trying to do at home

For people who don’t have access to ferms

such as the one Bishop buys fiom, he said formers’markets are A e b ^ bet Everyweek th ^ offer food fiesh fiom die field, and the ch^ce to get to know where and fiom whom one’s food comes

Bishop’s book is intuitively set out hy sea­son, makmg it easy to select from a vanety of reapes suited for whichever time of year f you happen to be cooking

In summer he offers plenty for the grill, fiom a

Mediterranean-inspired sandwich stu:^d with grilled vegetables, ohves and capers to Cheddar-stuffed poblano chilies with grilled com and tomato salad

In winter and feu he has suggestions for using up the harvest bounty m heartier dish­es, mduding fried green-tomato salads with goat cheese, and comforting pasta dishes, such as an Itahan-slj^e macmora mid cheese

For a satisfying sprmg dish, try Bishops tostadas with garliclty spinach, grape toma­toes and goat cheese, a deceptivefy simple dish that packs plenty of flavor Vegans could leave off the cheese and substitute avocado shces (after baking)

T o s t a d a s W ith G a r l ic k y S p in a c h , G r a p e T o m a t o e s a n d G o a t C h e e s e

Heat the remaining table­spoon of oil and the garlic in a large skillet over a medium flame Cook until the garlic is fragrant and golden, 1 to 2 minutes

Add the spinach and salt to taste, and cook, stirring con­stantly, until the spinach wilts, 1 to 2 minutes

Divide the spinach evenly among the tortillas Top the spinach with a portion of the tomato mixture, then sprinkle with goat cheese

Bake until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese softens, about 8 minutes Serve imme­diately Makes 2 servingsRecipe from Jack B ishops 4 Year in a Vegetarian Kitchen Houghton Mifflin 2004 $35)

C h i l l o u t t h i s s u m m e r w i t h g a z p a c h oJune heralds the time to

focus on fruits and vegetables in the kitchen Summer pro­duce offers a cornucopia of variety, color and flavor And It’s National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month If these aren’t reason enough to start getting creative with produce in the kitchen, firuits and veg­etables are critical to good health

A diet high in fruit and veg­etables can help reduce the risk of chronic disease like stroTce, diabetes and heart dis­ease According to the American Institute for Cancer Research, eating at least five servings for vegetables and fhiit per day can reduce cancer nsk by 20 percent and, com­bined with physical activity and weight management, rais­es ^ a t figure tb'30 to 40 per­cent

Scientists believe there are thousands of phytochemicals, with names like lycopene and

lutein, and found only in plant foods, that are vital to our health They help prevent or interrupt many different dis­eases and other health prob­lems Each plant food has its own unique array of phyto- chemicals that differ from those found m other foods

The interaction between one plant food’s phytochemicals and another’s creates a powerful, synergistic e^ c t, providing “more bang for the buck” Scientists, therefore, advise us to eat a variety of vegetables and fruits m order to maximize the health benefits we receive

The US Department of Agriculture recommends five or more servings of vegetables and fhiit each day Smce a standard serving of vegetables or fiuit is gener^ly one-half cup, this goal is not difficult to achieve

Many nutntion experts advise choosing vegetables and ihiits m deep colors - dark green, yel­low, orange and red Smce dif­

ferent colors often indicate the presence of different phyto- chemicals, eating a rainbow of colors IS a good way to bolster your health defenses

The following recipe for gaz­pacho is quick to fix and full of healthful vegetables Its a great way to celebrate June

Grilling in America almost always bnngs to mind burg­ers, the classic kind made with ground beef But don’t overlook the more healthful veggie burgers, which have so immensely improved in taste and texture that they will amaze you if it’s been years since you tried one

(aone are the bland, mushy tofu patties studded with sun­flower seeds and grated car­rots, the kind only a hard­core vegetarian could love In less than ten years, this so- called “strictly health food ’ fare has become a major supermarket category You can select from a “classic” patty that looks, tastes and even chews like a basic beef or cheeseburger, black bean burgers with spicy bite, fiill- flavored mushroom burgers and more With ingredients like wheat or soy protein and egg white, depending on the brand and “flavor” you select, nearly all of them are choles­terol-free and most are low m fat

So why make veggie burgers from scratch if there are so many good-tasting commer­cial versions’ Because freshly made, with the ideal combina­tion of ingredients, is always supenor

The classic ingredients in a great home-made veggie burger - a freshly cooked grain, canned beans, vegeta­bles and nuts - create a per­fect balance of textures and flavor Served on a toasted whole-wheat bun spread with ffiustard, and with a lettuce leaf and onion slice slipped inside, this veggie burger makes for such pure pleasure the fact that it’s incredibly healthy will almost seem irrel­evant

A good combination of ingredients might include bulgur, mushrooms, onions, walnuts, and pinto beans The earthy-tasting wheat provides body, the mush­rooms, meaty flavor, and the nuts, richness, and the mashed pintos give some heft Cookmg the vegetables and beans together intensi­fies their flavor, especially with a kick of chile pepper

tossed in Egg white and a modest amount of bread­crumbs bind the burgers and help hold in their moisture so they stay juicy as they cook

Homeowners can restrict phone towersI heard about a recent case concerning a single family use restriction being enforceable against a telecommunications company. Do you have any information?

In a recent case out of the State of New York, a single family use restriction covenant among homeowners was deemed enforceable against the telecommunications company that built a cell phone tower on the one of the lots The h ip e s t court of New York held that the public polity underlying the federal Telecommumcations Act of 1996 does not pre­empt pnvate covenants preserving the residential character of a neighborhood As a result, the court held that the tower owner must remove it

We own a property where there was an easement granted prior to our purchase to give ingress and egress to the w ater's edge of the lake. The person who holds the easement over our property thinks that it has the right to construct a deck extending into the water or permanently more a boat there. We have hiught that question and they are threatening litigation. Do you have any comment?

It would appear from the facts that the plain and unambiguous language of the easement in question does not grant the holder of the easement npanan nghts and as such, does not grant them the nghts enjoyed by npanan owners ITie language of the easement appears not to suggest that the right to maintain a boat is within the scope of the easement Nor do the terms of ingress and egress to the water’s edge evidence an intent to grant a nght to construct and maintain a deck which is a nght typically reserved to npanan owners Generally, the courts will not expand an easement that was created for access or ingress and egress to the lake You are well advised to consult with an a tto rn^ to wnte a letter confirming this position

hasten rent vs. buy decisionBY DAVID BRADLEYASSOCIATED PRESS

It’s sweaty palm time for apartment and home renters

Nearly 60 million non-owners likely fret about the same thing Do I contin­ue to rent or leap into the housing mar­ket'll

This inner debate takes on added urgency as interest rates inch upward Every moment straddling the do-I-or don’t-I fence adds to the costs of buy­ing Even a quarter of a percentage point increase tacks extra dollars to monthly mortgage costs

Still, there seems little reason to equivocate Even with a slight uptick, rates remain low enough to keep home ownership within reach of renters whose collective billions in rent checks build zero equity But a surplus of mis­information blocl^ the path toward the American dream, according to one banking insider

“Fear of the unknown makes people not move,” said Gene Morris, a mort­gage lending expert for Bank of Amenca “We Imow half of renters are intimidated by the home-finance process or are worried about large down payments The mortgage process IS a lot simpler and easier than it used to be”

FIRST STEP

He suggests renters take a logical first step Sit down with a financial adviser you trust to separate fact from fiction when it comes to real estate and mortgages

Misnomer No 1 is the assumption borrowers must scrape together a huge chunk of m on^ -15 percent or more - as a down payment Not so, said Moms

Three percent to 5 percent ~ and in some cases no down payment - is com­monplace

But the supposed enormity of down-pay­

ment amounts has taken on urban legend status All the more reason, said Moms, to ask someone who knows the ms and outs of down payments "It doesn’t cost a dime to ask questions,” he said

There’s a big upside to calling a home your own For one, interest on mortgage payments IS tax-deductible Some states and cities tack on added inducements or tax credits reserved for homeowners And even if home val­ues grow by sm- ^ e digits each year, owners reap that gravy when the time comes to

sell

'For most of us, home ownership is a great way to build personal wealth, and you can't do that with monthly rent checks.’Gene MomsBank of America

“People worry about mterest rates, but they should be equally concerned with what happens to home values,” said Morns “Real estate values tend to go up, and It’s all the more reason to ven­ture into the market ”

Some die-hard holdouts are less con­cerned with rates but overcome by fears of making a mistake m their first home Others worry th ^ U be forced to settle on a home below their expectations It may boil down to a matter of dollars and cents

BUILD WEALTH

“For most of us, home ownership is a great way to build personal w^ealth, and you can’t do that with monthly rent checks,” said Moms By his estimate, $1,000 plowed into monthly rent is

equivdent to a mortgage payment on a $130,000 home That includes taxes

and insuranceBuying that first home may represent

a leap of faith but it’s usually just the first of at least several homes for most consumers “The reality of real estate IS that as values grow, you move

onward and upward,” said Moms “But you have to start somewhere, and mort­gage payments beat paying rent 1^ a long shot”

Get azero down mortgageBorrowers often ask me,

“Can you get me a ‘zero down’ mortgage’” The

answer is almost always “yes,” but with as many dif­ferent ways to get there, their question really ought to be, “What are my mort­gage choices for 100 percent financing?”

My favorite true “zero down” mortgage is the VA loan I used it m 1986 to buy

first home I had a steady income, but barely a dollar to my name IVo years later, I was transferred and sold the property for a sizable profit all with no downpayment

Borrowers without VA pnvileges can get a “nothing down” deal with a willing seller Sellers who own their home free and dear may offer worthy buyers a land contract which makes them the “bankers” for the buyers These are rare, but valuable

Depending on the type of loan and the lender, buyers can often use gifted monies to cover closing costs and down payments to affect a “zero down” purchase

Another favorite of mine Combine an FHA mortgage with one of many popular down payment assistance programs With seller coop­eration, borrowers can get very close to a no-cest deal, get an assumable loan with a great rate, and not get “beat­en up” with mortgage insur­ance

Borrowers with good credit scores can often get to 100 percent without gifts or seller assistance In fact, with exceptional credit they can get such loans without even having to verify their income

Buyers seeking 100 per­cent financing - especially those in the “ umbo loan” category - sometimes “piggy back” mortgages, patting one loan on top of another This mortgage structure allows them to pay for the majonly of their purchase witii one loan at a better mterest rate and terms, and the balance with a smaller, higher-rate loan

Need 100 percent financ­ing, but have bruised credit’ Even borrowers with credit scores slightly below 600 may qualify for 100 percent financing with some non- conforming lenders

Regardless of the means, if you have desire and patience you can usually find a “zero down” deal that suits your needs A well-sea­soned lender can get you started on your way Timothy Phillips 1$ a mortgage banker and newspaper columnist You may access his Wealth Academy archives at WWW PhillipsHQ com or phone him toll free at (866)369 4516 Homebuyers should always consult a professional for guidance specif ic to their situation

Rates on 30-year BRIEFS

BY JEANNINE AVERSA

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Rates on 30-year and 15-year mortgages dipped but are up sharply from where they stood a year ago, a main reason behind the slowdown m home-mortgage refi- nanangs

Freddie Mac reported Thursday that rates on benchmark 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages declined to 6 28 percent, down from 6 32 per­cent a week ago, according to the mortgage giant’s nationwide sur­vey of rates This time a year ago, however, rates on 30-year mort­gages averaged 5 26 percent

Rates for l5-year, fixed-rate mortgages fell to 5 63 percent, compared with 5 69 percent last week A year ago, rates on 15-year mortgages averaged 4 66 percent

For one-year, adjustable-rate mortgages, rates rose to 3 98 per­cent, from 3 87 percent last week At this time last year, rates on one-year ARMs were at 3 59 per­cent

W ith long-term mortgage rates higher than last year, those still looking to refinance for lower rates may want to take a look at ARMs and hybrid products as they continue to offer terms that are low and attractive,’ said Freddie

Mac’s chief economist Frank Nothaft ‘Currently, for new mort­gages, all ARM products make up about one-third of the market”

The averages for mortgage rates do not include add-on fees known as points Thiiiy-year and 15-year mortgages each earned an average fee of 0 7 point this week, while one year ARMs earned an average fee of 0 6 point

With the economy moving ahead, economists predict mort­gage rates vnll slowly nse in the coming months Rates on 30-j'ear mortgages could reach 6 4 percent or 6 6 percent by the final quarter of this year

Big screen

'Azkaban' better than first two Harry Potter filmsBY CHRISTY LEMiRE

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Harry Potter is 13 now, an awkward age for anyone - even a boy wizard armed with magical powers

But Harry Potter and the Prisoner o f Azkaban the third film m the senes, couldn t be more self-assured

Alfonso Cuaron, best known for making

the gntty commg-of-age film Y Tu Mama Tambien, has taken over directing duties and taken the tale in a dzirker direction

Much of that comes from author J K Rowling s source matenal itself - Azkaban IS heavier thematically than its predeces­sors, as Harry learns more about how his parents died and begins to understand who he reahy is ’

Visually, though, Azkaban isn’t as glossy

T H l F U T U R E H A S

A f l D U T I N B D U A N C E

T T J H C H R O N I C L, E S O F

or whimsical as the first two films ~ Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Harry P o tte re d the Chamber of Secrets - both ofwhichChns Columbus directed Cuaron has completely reinvented the senes with a bleakly beautiful style that resembles German expressionism, using cold shades of gray, a generous amount of black and off-Wter camera angles

The skies are constantly cloudy over the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and even a game of Quidditdi, the young wizards' beloved sport, takes place m a dnvmg ram storm

SCARY FOR YOUNG KIDS

It’s a danng move, one that makes Azkaban more stimulating for adults but may have resulted in a film that s too scary for young kids

'Ihe Dementors - hooded creatures who guard the Azkaban pnson and suck the souls from their victims - are sent to Hogwarts to protect the students from escaped wizard Sinus Black, but that doesn't make them any less ommous

Azkaban has some wondrous moments, too A scene in which Harry (Daniel RadclifFe) takes a nde on a hippognfF - a flying animal that s half horse, half eagle - has a soaring, I m-the-kmg-of-the-world energy about it, only without the bombas­tic Celine Dion music

The supporting cast is more fabulous than ever

Besides the returning actors - including Alan Rickman as the snippy Professor Snape and Robbie Coltrane as the lovable

Rupert Gnnt (left to right) as Ron Weasley, Emma Watson as Hermione Granger and Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter m Warner Bros Pictures' fantasy 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'

giant Hagnd - there are some wonderful additions

David Thewhs plaj^ the supportive Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who helps Harry face his fears, and Emma Thompson is a scene stealer as a hippie-chick divination professor, a showy role that s a great contrast with the prim parts for which she's best known

As the mystenous, misunderstood Sinus Black, Gary Oldman infuses his character with great heart and sympathy

Punsts may balk that this is an art- house version of Harry Potter - and with any revered pop culture phenomenon, fans are likely to get nled about some­thing But Azkaban is by far the meatiest, most magical film m the senes thus far

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban a Warner Bros release is rated PG for frightening moments creature violence and mild language

fe are sissies People cnnge at the thought of the cica­

da invasion that is aris­ing throughout the east­ern part of the country

Phooey on cicadas' They are wimpy, harm­less creatures If you really want to see some bugs in action, there is a host of movies that have played on our pnmal fears

Big bug movies arose

E4 (**) • Observer & Eccemr c | Thursday June 10 2004

in the 1950s along with the Atomic Age Once it was realized that radiation caus­es mutation, the films makers got busy crafting big bug stories There is the classic Them' (ants), Beginning o f the End (grasshoppers), Tarantula and The Spider (tarantula and a spider), Monster from Green HeU (giant wasps, sort of) and Cosmic Monsters (a whole garden of giant bugs), among others

Even today, bugs are popular Worned about West Nile virus? It could be worse

PLEASE SEE BUGS, E5

WWW hometownitfe com

BUGSFROM PAGE E4

Giant skeeters attack in Sheeter Mosquito offers more monstrous mos­quitoes In both cases, they are big and bloodthirsty, but Mosquito is way better than Skeeter Just don’t confuse it with a 1975 Swiss movie of the same name, which IS far different and far more dis­turbing, and which I can t review here because it is strictly for adults

And who doesn’t love roaches’The late semi-great actor E G

Marshall burst forth with the creepy crawlies in Creepshow

SPIDER COMEBACKLately, giant spiders have made a big

comeback Eight Legged Freaks, Sp id^s and Spiders IIo^exs some squirmy moments In the old days, every big spi­der movie relied on tarantulas because they are fairly easygoing sorts and don t mind acting in movies But in these days of computer-generated effects and life­like ammatronics, some really nifty spi­ders are being produced for the movies

These have the big, shiny bodies like the kind of spider that is probably under your chair nght now

Arachnophobia had its skin-crawling moments, especially m the beginning when the research crew gasses the South American jungle and is rained upon by bugs

But I still like the old films the best, even though they don’t have any of the gore of their current counterparts

Beginning o/the E nd IS sublime in its awfulness

In this 1957 mess of a movie, giant grasshoppers climb cardboard buildings

that don’t look even slightly authentic And The Deadly Mantis sports a dandy giant praying mantis that likes to eat Eskimos

But perhaps the dl-time favonte is Mothra, the giant Japanese moth who battled Godzilla and terrorized Tokyo W hat devastation can a moth inflict? Plenty

It’s those flapping wings

Kids can design a T-shirt while you shop at fair

BY JENNA KLOECKNERSTAFF WRITER

Although you may enjoy browsing art fairs for that one-of-a-kind mug to sip your morning latte from^ or that perfect painting to hang over the couch in your living room, your children may be bored to tears

But with activities to keep them busy, your children may be smiling more and complaining less while you shop 'til you drop at Art in the Village in Livonia’s Greenmead Histoncal Village June 12-13

rOR THE KIDSAt the children’s activity tent, your

kids can get their faces painted, make suncatchers, trivets, or create a T-shirt

“The activity tent gives kids some­thing to do,” said Carrie Spurlmg, Livonia Arts Commissioner “It gives them something to take with them so they are happier to be there shop­ping”

Kids will create T-shirts using crayons to color a black and white predesigned picture that will be ironed onto a white shirt Spurlmg said kids can put the shirt on right after ironing or take it home

Lauren Favazza, a fourth-grader at Kennedy Elementary School m Livonia, created the T-shirt design She was one of 60 fourth-graders at Kennedy to submit a picture based on the theme Let There Be Art

‘The kids were given no direc­tion, Spurlmg said We just told them the theme and let them use their imagination ’

FOR VOU - SHOPPING AND MORENow that your kids are happy, you

vyon’t feel so bad spending hours scouring each and every booth at your leisure

And there are plenty of booths to keep you busy — over 160 o f them, including ceramics and pottery, glass, jewelry, wood, fiber, m etd, glass, fine arts and photography

Oil and pastel paintings, wooden furniture and toys are popular with fair browsers, said Livonia Arts Commissioner Andrea Taylor Some artists work while visitors shop People like to see how artists make

the things they buy, she said You can also enter your name m a

drawing every hour to win free gifts donated by participating artisans They are very generous, Ihylor said As many as eight items will be given away every hour The only stipula­tion is you have to be present to win

And when you make a purchase you don t have to carry it around with you all day, a new package pick-up service is being offered this year After you ve made a purchase, a Cub Scout will come to the booth to pick up the purchase and take it to a package pick-up area

They will give you half a ticket and put the other half on the pack­age so you can easily pick up your purchase when you’re ready to go home

First-, second- and third-place prizes will be awarded to the best booths, Taylor said

Two artists will jury the booth contest Throughout the day they’ll walk around the festival, browsing and judging booths

In addition to shopping, you can enjoy live entertamnient including the rock ‘n’ roll band Persuaders Iced cappuccino and other food and drinks will be available for pur­chase

Graffiti and d e sign pop at C -PO PIn graffiti circles, Leon Bedore is known

as Tes OneBut just because the Thmpa-based artist

IS taking the gallery route and working as a graphic designer these days doesn’t mean that he’s tummg a blind eye to the work that launched his career

“I’m not one or the odier, I’m both One isn’t less tihan the other,” said the 26-year- old Bedore, whose work is on display dirough Sunday, June 27, at C-POP Gallery in downtown Detroit

The eidiibit, titled Invitation Circus, also features work by another leading graf­fiti artist He’s known as Books IIII

TAKING RISKSTb be sure, graffiti art has gained a rela­

tive amount of mainstream acceptance of late Though such an interest smells super trendy, Bedore dunks it has to do with graffiti’s purity

“There’s a certain e of honesty that you can’t deny about street art It’s some­thing that people take risks to conv^”

Although B ^ore’s street sensibihty is a

STREET SCENEWhat: Invitation Circus,' featuring work of graffiti artists Tes One and Books III When: Through Sunday, June 27 Gallery hours are noon to 6 p m Thursday 2-8 p m Friday Saturday, noon to 5 p m Sunday, and by appointment Where: C-POP Gallery, 4160 Woodward Ave, DetroitAdmission: No charge Call (313) 833 9901 or visit wwwcpop com for more information

large part of his fine art - he painted on the street for about 13 years - it’s not the total picture His graphic design work and interest m tedmology is the odier half His work is just like the artist

“For me, I was having a very difficult time coming out with my art work because

you can’t be both, you’re supposed to be one or the other I’m the line m between and so IS my work’

Likewise, Bedore views the graffiti ele­ment as representing natural artistic abili­ty on the one hand and the graphic influ­ence as a symbol of technology and the digital world on the other

One IS raw, the other is refined Bedore also pits nature against tedmology m his worli, often featurmg trees, birds, and human figures, each within a larger matrix of digital-feelmg hnes or images

Books IIII blurs the line between past and present, and frequently mcorporates the structure of s te n ts into his aerosol arsenal

Both are part of a tightly kmt group of South Florida artists, but the show tracks graffiti, design emd pop art

So what’s up with the name Tes One’“I wish I had an mterestmg story,” said

Bedore “Commg up as a graffiti artist, you develop a tag But ffiere’s nothmg behind it other than it’s a name that I liked to wnte ”

Hey, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar Even in art

Australian installation performance artists, Strange Fruit, on 13-foot- high flexible poles, will be featured Friday Sunda/at the Detroit Festival of the Arts

t ’s the summer festival expenence gone urban

But liiat’s always the deal at the Detroit Festival of the Alls It’s just that this year, the event is coming sooner than later

Ihkmg place Fnday to Sunday m Detroit’s cultural district and the Wayne State University campus, the fine and per- formmg arts festival, now m its 18th year, used to sweep up the city m September

“We’re very excited about the new time slot,” said Maureen Riley, special events director, Umversity Cultur^ Center Association, the festival’s host. “We wanted to have the festival at a time when people are eager for this kmd of activity”

Apparently, organizers had been mulling over an earlier date as it was But with the Ryder Cup taking place m September, this year emerged as the best time to move up the date

“In September, we were finding that families were occupied with school and sportmg activities”

STUFF FOR KIDSAnd kids’ stuff really is big stuff at the

festival Its DaimlerChrysler Children’s Fair, for instance, boasts about 150 acluvi- ties, from puppet shows to crafts projects Many e^lore the theme of “eco-arts,” or

nature and the artsHighlights include “Box City,” where kida

can create their own “box” budding and add It to atyscape of Detroit, and ftie Youth Artist Market, a display £uid sale of young artists’ wares

There’s also the David Ihylor Dance Theatre performing A Children’s Rainforest Odyssey, which eiqilores the eco-i^tem th ro u ^ dance, narrative and music. Performances are set for 3 p m and 5 p m Saturday and Sunday

Returning for a second yfear is the “Go Read Garden,” a book and storytelling pro­gram hosted by Marshall Field’s on the Detroit Public Library’s front lawn This year, Birmingham’s own Elmore Leonard visits to read from his new children’s book, A Coyote's in the House, 4 45 p m Saturday

ers and exhibits representing our world of nations

Seriously, this is world-beat heaven Here’s a sampling The outrageous Brazilian percussion of Cyro Baptista & Beat the Donkey (7 30 p m Fnday), the graceful songs of India and Pakistan per­formed by Kiran Ahluwalia (5 30 pm Saturday), and the poetry and song of South African national treasure Vusi Mahlasela (2 30 p m Sunday)

From Australia there’s something quite literally strange - a group of dancers who perform atop 13-foot poles The group is called Strange Fruit, and performances

run 5pm and 8 p m Fnday, and 4 p m and 8pm Saturday

“They sway a lot,” Riley said of the poles and dancers Every year the festival has some kind of spectacle performance, something that you would never see any­where else

Strange Fruit sounds like just that Another highlight is WDET s Samba

Street Party, w h i^ is slated 4-9 p m Fnday and features free dance lessons and a samba dance competition

All in aH, more than 100 performances are scheduled on 10 stages Punctuating the performance landscape are festival favontes artist markets, including stu­dent works, Italian street-painting, food vendors, street performers and an enor­mous sand sculpture

So, we nowoflfer a daily soul food.”

Coleman and chef John share the same passion for south­ern cuisine “We grew up m Detroit with the same kind of food,” Coleman explained “Our mothers cooked a family dinner daily jmd infused food with love

“It’s the mfused love element that makes great southern cuisine special John appreciates and respects food He also knows that consistency is important He’s a great mentor for tile promising young cooking talent in his kitchen ”

PASSION, SOUL AND LOVEAfter nearly seven years of bemg a hands-on owner of

Beans & Cornbread, Coleman said, “I have greater respect for the Matt Prentices of the restaurant business They pro­duce consistent product on a daily basis It’s difficult to do that

“I love food and the restaurant business is in my veins I’m still enthused when people compliment the dishes we serve”

Coleman claims that he is a “proponent of free enter- pnse ” Yet he opened and still maintains his restaurant as a smoke-free environment “I don’t have a bar,” he said “Instead of smoke dictatmg aromas at Beans & Cornbread, It’s the aromas of flavorfol food People love it ”

LAST BITESLacking a liquor license, Beans & Cornbread offers tiiree

options in a flavorful Mimosa or Bellini, both made with non-alcoholic spju:kling wine, or the non-alcoholic sparkhng wme on its own

Server-presented housemade desserts include both peach and apple cobbler and banana pudding Any choice here sends you away happy

Not to be left out is the co-name of Beans & Cornbread - a Soulful Bistro Given the statistics that 18 months is the average life of an independent restaurant and only 10 per­cent last five years, Coleman has beaten the restaurant odds

No wonder he’s still doing a soulful strut'

Take tedium out of mixologyBY ELEANOR & RAY HEALD

CORRESPONDENTS

No fancy home bar at which to mix and serve cocktails'?Ready-to-dnnk, single-serving size Jack Daniel’s Country

Cocktails to the rescueSporting packaging with the Old No 7 Jack Daniel’s

stamp on the label and bottle cap and packaged m 10-ounce four packs at $5, Jack Daniel’s Country Cocktails challenge other such pre-mixed products m both taste and conven­ience

Available flavors include Lynchburg Lemonade,Wildberry Jack, Downhome Punch, Watermelon Spike,Hurncane Punch and Blackberry Jack

Downhome Punch and Lynchburg Lemonade are the cur­rent neck-and-neck market favontes but give Wildberry Jack a try With its deep burgundy color and palate-pleasing mix of blueberries, blackbemes and black raspberries, com­plemented by the flavor of Jack Daniel’s Whiskey, it’s a crowd pleaser

Blackberry Jack bnngs together Jack Daniel’s Whiskej^ flavors of blackberry brandy with a grenadine splash Interesting

Just like a Hurncane found m New Orleans bars,Hurricane Pundi delivers the flavor of dark rum and Jack Daniel’s Whiskey, complemented by cherries and oranges

Comedian has a way of mouthing offBY JENNA KLOECKNER

STAFF WRITER

Wacky is an understatement when descnbing Jim Moutiti

Known for his wild and crazy show, often called “The Crazy One Man Group,” he’s a comedian and musician who puts his mouth to good use He can likely elicit laughter from even the driest of comedic wells using any of his 30 voice imperson­ations to brmg to life his unusually charismatic onstage characters

He calls his alter egos — his life-size puppets and onstage characters — “good friends " He has even voluntarily shoved 159 cigarettes m his mouth at one time

And now. Mouth, who said his show is “very unique and very different,” is com­ing back to Michigan to touch base with old friends and perform

The “self-prodaimed” world record holder of the most world records will be at Ramey’s Lounge m Garden City, June 11-12 and at Baker’s of Milford, June 18- 19

It has been almost four years since Mouth took the stage for Michigancrowd that supported him before he took his show to Cdifornia in 1986

Bom and raised on the west side of

Detroit and a Livonia resident for 30 years. Mouth said he misses the people in

Michigan because they are more lik­able and down-to- earth than people in California.

Mouth used to come back to Michigan every year But after 9/11 it became too hard to travel on air­planes with the 600-700 pounds of equipment he needs for ms show

The life-size pup­pets, referred to by Mouth as his alter egos and members

of his band, add to the hundreds of pounds of equipment and are k ^ compo­nents in his comedy routine

Mouth’s two favorite band members are Sheet, a Redneck bigot who s m a perpet­ual bad mood, and Lyonel, a Motovm sax­ophone playerwho likes to flirt with beautiful ladies

The other three members of the band include Thelma Thighs, a socialite that

Jim Mouth stuffed 159 cigarettes into his mouth live on the Discovery Channel's 'More Than Human' TV show m 2003

hits on men with money, Thelma’s sister Alota Thighs, who just sits on stage and looks pretty, and Thelma’s son Kickstand, a very short bass player with a very low voice

ALTER EGOS“My alter egos pick on people,” he said “If I’m going to attack an audience

member, it’s better to let the alter ego do It because if the audience gets offended by the comment, I can just blame the puppet,” Mouth said

Some people get really mad at the pup­pet and start having a verbal confronta­tion with it, Mouth said “It’s like, who’s the dummy now?”

Eadi band member has their own per­sonality and voice, he said And the audi­ence always want to make them talk, so Mouth has a photo session at his shows so people can get pictures taken with them

His other alter egos, the characters he portrays on stage, include Baby Elvis, who runs around dressed like a baby whining m a high-pitched voice, John Per Vert, a pervert, and Melvin Nerdmen, a nerd who tnes to be cool

Although it seems as if Mouth is an

^ ro v e rt, he says he’s not “I’m actually a quiets introverted guy

until I get onstage,” he said “I h^ve so much energy on stage ”

Good comedians aren’t loud all ftie time. Mouth said “They know when to turn it on and when to shut it off They don’t go overboard ”

Mouth, who gets his comedy material from everyday bfe, uses a different rou­tine for almost every show

“A lot of stuff IS off the cuff,” he said “Just witty stuff I come up with ”

Mouth’s been performing for 36 years, but says he still gets nervous before every show

“It keeps me on my toes,” he said

F u n k e dKlezmer gets unruly at

Jewish MusicFestLots of leather Cat suijs The

simple sounds of traditional Jewish music

There seems to be something wrong with this on-stage musical portrait

But the truth is Jewish culture has gone punk with bands like Golem

Theoretically a klezmer ensem­ble, Gk>lem is set to perform dur­ing the Jewish MusicFest,Sunday, June 20, to Thursday, June 24, and Sunday, June 27 at three local venues

Golem isn t the only band to experiment with the harmonic klezmer sound, and the music festival explores that evolution as well as other traditional Jewish musical styles

‘It could be that klezmer can be easily adapted and has been adapted into all kinds of forms,” said Martin Hollander, chair of the event, which is sponsored by the Jewish Community Center “In other words, you can hear it as jazz, and you can hear it as classical ’

Golem describes itself as Shtetl Punk and looks to both

Eastern European traditions and the edgy Greenwich Village sound

The group, along with Frank London, are slated to perform at 7 3 0 p m Sunday, June 27 A companion event, a multi-media

journey through the history of klezmer music led by nationally known Jewish music authority Seth Rogovoy, is at 2 p m Tuesday, June 22

HIGHLIGHTS

Other highlights of the festival which IS m its first year, include

■ the Jewjsh-bop stylings of Shira Klein a New York City musician set to perform m a spe­cial Fathers Day concert (1 pm Sunday, June 20)
