The Chelsea Board of Education agreed Monday night to begin formal discussion on the possibility of adding full-day kinder­garten classes.

To offer kindergarten in a full-day setting,

C h e l s e a A r e a

sweeping changes would be needed in the set up of early grade levels, including a pro­posed addition to Pierce Lake Elementary School to accommodate second grade,.

The addition, as proposed, would; add about 10,000 square feet of instructional space at a cost to the district of about $2 mil­lion.

North Creek Elementary School would then house preschool through first-grade pupils.

Ideally, the change would be implemented

as early as the 2007 school year, school offi­cials said. ■

A special committee has been researching full-day kindergarten options for a year and has. come, to the. conclusion that the model proposed best encourages the development of academic skills, while remaining develop- mentally appropriate for young children.

However, this is the first time that the board, has been asked for specific considera­tion of the i s s u e .__

Several board members raised questions

regarding the economic feasibility of the project a t a time when state funding contin­ues to be uncertain.

“Our money is down, our enrollment is down — so will we have the funding to cover the operational costs if we do this?" asked Board Secretary Steve Olsen

Still other questions were raised about the proposed time line: With a goal .of offering full-day instruction in 2007,.public forums. construction and teacher readin e ss wo'u 1 d be ‘ See P K O P O S A I :W - ' A

A proposed budget for fire services calls for a dramatic increase in costs, meaning Chelsea-area taxpayers may be asked to dig deeper into their pockets in the near ftiture.

the Chelsea Area Fire Authority has presented its 2006-2007 fiscal-year budget to the four participating townships, as 'well as the city of Chelsea.

Jamie Bollinger, a Chelsea City Council trustee, said the Fire Authority Board will not adopt the budget until its annual informational meet­ing in January.

The board also is expected to meet either Jan. 12 or 19, Bollinger said, to select new officers for the year.

The Fire Authority servic­es Dexter; Lima, Lyndon and Sylvan townships, as well as the city of Chelsea.

Bollinger said staff costs .are the largest single expense projected for the budget at a total of $498,300, which represents a 22 per­cent increase from the prior year. ’■ -

Contributing to the increase is the number of runs made, he said. The department makes more than1,000 runs a year and expects to total about 1,050 runs by

the end of 2005, he said.“Unfortunately, safety’

costs money,” he said, "The cost of it is driven by the number of runs you make.”

The increased Costs will make an operating millage possible in the near ftiture, he added.

According to the proposed budget, the Fire Authority operates primarily from Con­tributions from participating units of government, Sup­plemental funds come from fees charged for fire and res­cue runs, as well as proceeds from grants.

The Fire Authority esti­mates it will receive $884,100 from the five municipalities it serves. It’s also projected to receive $23,000 in fire and rescue runs, but no grant pro­ceeds.

A small amount of revenue — $1,800 — is received as interest on deposited funds, miscellaneous reimburse­ments and donations.

With projected revenue of $908,900 for the year, the Fire Authority, also expects to spend the same amount in operating expenses.

Bollinger said the depart­ment; has seen increased costs in fuel, insurance, labor and upkeep of the buildings.

According to the proposed budget, staff costs: have also risen as a result of hiring its first full-time fire chief, James Payeur, and increased costs to train firefighters and emergency medical staff.

As the holidays approach; some Chelsea High School band students are hard at work for what could be one of the highlights of their- musical experi­ence. ■■

The Chelsea High School Wind Symphony has been invited to perform

Jan. 20 as part of the 2006 Michigan Music Conferencein Grand Rapids.

Rick Catherman, director of bands at Chelsea High School, said the 72:mem- ber group has been hard at work in preparation for the performance.

‘‘■I’ve shared with the Wind Symphony that our performance is expected to be an example — a model, if you will — for what a high school band should look and sound like,” Catherman said.■ ‘Tve tried to choose literature that will feature the very finest of our stu­dent musicians. They work extremely hard and deserve the opportunity to be recognized, for their efforts,”

The conference, formerly known as the Midwestern Conference on School Vocal and Instrum ental Music, is a- three-day in-service for music teachers froni across the state. >

■ Chelsea’s Wind Symphony was chosen to perform from among many groups that submit an application and audition tape each year for the privilege of per-, forming in front of the many music edu­cators that attend the conference

. “The majority of our audience will be music educators.-' Catherman said. “The concert performance is free and open to the public, and we're planning

• The . Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners sup­ported four-year law-enforce­ment contracts Dec. 7 despite a push from area officials to support two-year contracts.

While members of the County Board stuck to the original contract length, they did approve changes that will give municipalities more time to sign the contracts and voted to; modify overtime costs for 2007.

The board pushed back a Dec. T deadline to Dec. 31 for contracting municipalities to approve the contracts. Commissioners also set a flat rate of $10,000 for overtime in 2007. In 2008. contracting

areas will have to pay the full cost of deputies, supervisors and overtime when the coun­ty implements the incremen­tal-cost model. ;

Official's from Manchester Village, Augusta, Scio and Salem townships pressured commissioners to approve two-year contracts. Some local . representatives are hesitant to sign contracts that are viewed as.open-ended.:

M anchester Village President Pat Valliencourt said the current contracts have too many unknowns.

“We simply need, afford­able police services," she said. “We have all worked so hard as a community after losing over 1,000 jobs and com plete loss of industry over the past few years. If we can’t afford police services, our businesses will wither

he doesn't believe in.“Why can’t we approve two

years and then, work out these issues for the next two years after that*” he s a id ..

Commissioner Jeff Irwin, D-District 11, said he wasn’t comfortable giving up on the four years. .

"I was hoping the county and all of us could move for­ward on this,” he said. “1 think the county position has changed a jot and we have made a lot of concessions (to contracting areas)' arid we voted, in September* and the four-year term was a major part of that.” •'

Commissioner Martha, Kern, D-District 2, supported the longer contract, saying there is nothing wrong with signing open-ended con­tracts.

“I have heard a lot of com­away. “ _

Salem TownshipSupervisor Fred Roperti said he can’t sign a contract

m ents from people saying there is something im proper about entering into contracts w here riot every detail, is

known,” she said. ‘‘Variable- rate mortgages are contracts vvhore you don’t know the exact costs and those , are done all the tim e.”

While Irwin and Kern voiced support for four years, Commissioner ■ Holland Sizemore Jr., D-District .5, saw no reason why the board

' shouldn’t allow a two-year pact.

"I'm haying a problem fig­uring out why we can’t have a two-year," he said. "There are going to be glitches, whether we have two or four years. Why can ’t we just approve two years then work out the glitches?”

Commissioners also asked, questions about the contract deadline, which was pushed back to Dec. 31. Commissioner Conan Smith, D-District 10, asked what happens to areas that don’t sign the contract.

“There seems to be plenty of confusion about what hap­

pens after Dec 31,” he said County Administrator Bob

Guenzel said he expects all of the participating munici­palities to sign the contracts Lodi and Superior townships have already sighed,-hut he recommended a grace period from Jan. 1 to 4 foi’ eommuni- ties that hold out

“We don't mean to provoke a crisis,” Guenzel said. "But I would have to recommend downsizing or eliminating1 forces to-.areas - that do riot

sign after Jan. 5 or at some point.": tn an effort to clear up the confusion, • Commissioner

. Barbara Bergman. D-District' 8, 'proposed eliminating police sendees to- areas that do not sign after Jan. 4. D

After several months of hard work and perseverance, the Save Our Sheriffs Committee had 17,223 signa­tures received arid certified Dec. 7 by the Washtenaw County Board of Com­missioners. '

The grassroots organiza­tion collected more than21.000 signatures from regis­tered voters, but more than3.000 were rejected because they were duplicates or because of other mistakes.

While commissioners voted unanimously to accept, certify and? file the signa­tures, the board made no decision as to what to dp with them. Commissioners plan to revisit the issue Jan. 4.

The SOS Committee collect­ed the signatures to force the county to place g $29.9.million construction bond proposal for court and jajl improve­ments to q public vote. Under Michiganihw, a bond propos­al must be forced to.a public vote if there are at lfeastl5,000 signatures collected from reg­istered voters.

County commissioners have several options, which include holding a public election, rescinding the bond or keeping the petitions on file and essentially ignoring them.

Washtenaw County Clerk Lawrence Kestenbaum, along with Deputy Clerk Derrick Jackson, introduced. the signatures to the board. Kestenbaum said the refer­endum law is vague as to what is legally required from commissioners at this point.

“There is no clear time deadline for the board to make a decision,” he said.

County Administrator Bob Guenzel said the petitions have completely stopped the bond proposal.

“We can’t issue bonds with this potential litigation oyer us,” he said. “It has essential­ly stopped everything.”

Commissioner Ronnie Peterson, D-District 6, urged the board not to ignore the petitions because residents have sent a strong message, he said.

Bergman’s proposal, saying public safety shouldn’t be deeijfeji on a date or a dead- l i n e a r ^ ' *

because of a date?” she said.“It’s about our community.

We desire to be safe. We are working together, to try- and be safe. We need road patrol. Please don’t take away the Very , m eans of doing that because of a date and have {Manchester's) relationship, to the county be shattered;”

Under the current police service unit model, the coun­

ty charges $88,885 per deputy and subsidizes the rest. The full cost, of a PSU is a little more than $181,000. Under the incremental-cost model, patterned after Oakland County, contracting . areas will pay for the true cost of a deputy, including overtime charges.

Washtenaw County plans to use those subsidy funds to

pay . for a $29.9 million con­struction bond for,.county jail andctyurt improvements. The count^'driginally $CM>osed a m iljafe to fond j*U a id court impf<3|?j^ents, b ^ g n e meas­ure was widely rejected by voters in February.

PROPOSALContinued from Page 1-Aput on a fast track, officials said. : ■

The board is planning to add several focused work sessions to discuss the issue further, and architectural plans for the proposed addi­tion are being considered.

"This is a tight schedule. There is no doubt about it,” Superintendent Dave Killips said. "We can always start the process. We may hit a hurdle that we can’t get over, in which case we can always push it back to 2008r

Photo by H eather C onnorStudents in the Chelsea High School Wind Symphony rehearse for their upcoming performance in Grand Rapids. Pictured in the trumpet section are Abe Booth (left), Kelsey Harris, Alex Stacy, Dale Luick, Mike Hankerd and Margy Brill; in the per­cussion section are Chet Hopp (left) and Michael Kundak- Cowall.

BANDContinued from Page 1-Afor some of our band parents; friends and supporters to make the trip for the concert, too."

Students in the band said they look forward to the experience.

“The Grand Rapids trip is really exciting.for me," said percussionist Michael Kundak-Cowail. "I look for­ward to going there. Mr. Catherman is expecting a lot out of us, and I hope we’ll live up to his expectations.”

In addition to the standard repertoire for wind ensem­bles, the symphony will per­form "Fanfare for a Golden Sky,” a composition by Scott Boerma, director of bands at Eastern Michigan University.

Catherman said he chose the piece not only to feature_ a local composer, but as an exciting and challenging m usical work to open the performance.

Boerma is scheduled to work with the band next month before the perform­ance.

“I’ve known Scott Boerma for many years, which makes for a more personal attach­m ent to the music,”. Catherman said. “His musi­cal compositions have been perforated worldwide, and His contributions to the world of band literature and music education are highly respected.”

The Wind Symphony also will have the privilege of hosting a guest conductor — John Whitwell, d irector of bands at Michigan State University.’ Catherman, an MSU gradu­

ate, said Whitwell is a well-

kiiown teacher who taught in the Ann Arbor and Jackson Northwest school districts before moving on to the col­lege level.

"I’ve had the opportunity to work with Mr. Whitwell on previous occasions and I’ve always adm ired his teaching and conducting methods.” Catherman said.

The help of many is making the Wind Symphony’s trip to Grand Rapids possible. The performance is being finan­cially supported by the Chelsea Education Founda­tion, Catherman said, as well as by,contributions from area businesses through a band magnet fund-raising effort.

The Chelsea Music Boosters arid individual stu­dent contributions are also helping with costs, he said.

In addition to performing, students will attend a per­formance of the MSU Wind Symphony, attend sessions and visit music exhibits at the conference.

Catherman said he is grate­ful for all of the support the band has received.------- '

“We are fortunate to live in a community that supports and appreciates music edu­cation in our schools, and we plan to share that pride on stage at the conference,” Catherman said.

The Wind Symphony will perform a pre-conference concert Jan. 9 in Chelsea. For more information about the concert, contact the high school at 433-2201 or visit the Web site www.michiganmus- icconference.org for. more information about the con-t e r P n p p ■

"The question is, w hat does it hurt if we push this back another year? About 180 stu­dents, if we truly believe this is the best option,” Killips said. “As we move in this direction, it’s the children in the forefront of our minds.” Board. OKs Team. Teaching .

In other meeting news, the board approved a team ­teaching schedule for Beach Middle School. The new for­mat will be offered in fall of 2006. with teams of four teachers working together to

instruct students in the basic academic areas, allowing for greater communication and flexibility between teachers.

The new format increases the amount of time spent focusing on academics, with a sacrifice of time spent in electives and passing between classes, school offi­cials said.New Policy Gets Nod’ The board also adopted a new policy specifying the dis­tric t’s handling of hom e- bound students. While the policy is sim ilar to the. sys­tem unofficially used by the district for years, it now spec- ifres'that in-home tutors.must be certified teachers, rather than support staff Board. OKs Bids

In financial news, the hoard accepted bids for Phase 3A of the 2004 bond project, allowing for work to begin at Beach.

—The bids for improvements

to nearly all facets of the building, including windows, drywall, flooring, lockers, plumbing and electric, came in under budget.

Six alternate projects.were also put out to bid, including restroom and locker room

improvements, as well as a ne\v cafeteria . sound system

•and public address system.The Washington Street

Education Center, Phase 3B of the project, is currently in the bidding process for simi­lar improvements.

t o a v o i d f l o o d i n g p r o b l e m sYour basement only has to flood

once,, and you rem ember it for & lifetime. Believe me.

I grew up in southwest Dearborn, five houses off the Dearborn Heights' city limits. The homes were small and simple then, and. remain that way even now- In the 1960s, Dearborn was a tremendous place to grow up, but that’s bettei* ; left to another nostalgia column on another day.

I will say that growing up back then was chock full o f ‘‘predictable.” That included reliable neighbors behind every

K a r lZiomek

his family’s home, sending them up into the hills for safety.

This is why, every spring, I cringe when there’s a flood watch, fearing another rise in the Ecorse Creek dr a backup at a wastewater treatm ent plant will flood basem ents in the area.

A federal court judge ruled that Downriver communities had to pay tens of millions of dollars to create

■ a storage tunnel for such floodwa­ters, while also separating sewer­

age and runoff drains. That d idn’t help in 2000. when homeowners in northern

door, adventures around every corner and floods every spring

Mind you, our basements didn’t flood every spring. No, those floodwaters, as they often-do to this very day, crept from the Ecorse Creek in south Dearborn Heights right out to Dartmouth Street, which was at. the end of my block of Harding.

They always seemed to creep there and stop, hang around for a time and go away. On~ the Dearborn side, the street was dry. On the Heights’ side, it was time to wade. I always felt sorry for the Heights’ side, considering that many of my best friends lived there.

Of course, one spring that all changed. It only happened once, but as I wrote earlier, it only has to happen once.

Some drainage gate malfunctioned, at least that was the rumor. So when the heavy rains and those floodwaters crept down the street toward Dartmouth, we ended up with a basement full of stink.

I don't rem ember exactly how much back­wash we got. It probably was a couple of . inches. But when sewers back up in your basement, 2 or 3 inches seem like 2 or 3 feet.

As for smell and destruction, the situation is immeasurable. You end up throwing everything out and spending a fortune in Lysol.

My mom worked her tail off cleaning up after our flood, and my dad reminisced about his own childhood in Wheeling, W.Va., where the waters of the Ohio River would rise up right through town every spring.

A mere 2 or 3 inches in the basement? That’s nothing. My dad remembered when the Ohio River would fill the first floor of

Downriver areas were hit by backups in their basements as high at 5 feet.

That storm resulted in nearly $13 million in insurance damages. Four years later, some of the same homeowners were flooded again. , • '

Unfortunately, the answer isn’t really in newfangled storm tunnels and drain separa­tions. Instead, when the “enemy” is found, it turns out to be us. — -------

We develop on flood plains. We pave over nature’s filtering processes. We buy homes farther and farther away, sprawling devel- - opments farther and farther into what used to be open land that did its best to suck up every ounce of rainw ater

We are the culprits. We overtax na tu re’s own drainage system, and then wonder why it rebels.

Recently, my son called me at work, telling me that his hockey equipment was floating in the basement. The sump pump line had clogged, and the water backed up the system. It was messy, but nothing cata­strophic.

It was nothing like the sewer water in mom and dad’s basement. It was nothing like the Ohio River cresting at second-floor- levels in grandpa’s house. And it was noth-, ing like what the poor residents in Allen Park faced in 2000 and 2004.

And it will be nothing like what all of us will continue to face unless we start devel­oping land a little more intelligently in the future.

The president is in a free-fall.With approval ratings slipping to 39. percent as reported Oct. 25, this represents the largest separation between government and public approval we have seen throughout the Bush White House years, and one of the largest separations his­torically.

I certainly don’t envy the presi­dent or any White House staff per­son right now. From what I have read, the halls of the White House . •hail back to the dark and brooding times during Nixon’s final days in office.

The terse nature that has befallen the White House was the result of the indict­ment of Vice President Dick Cheney’s now resigned chief of staff, I. Lewis '‘Scooter” Libby, and the near-indictment of policy- shaper and chief political adviser to the president, Karl Rove. .

On top of that mess, administration staffers had to deal with the embarrassment that became of Supreme Court nominee H arriet Miers, the fizzling out of Bush’s pri­mary objective for his second term — Social

Security reform, the mishandled response to Hurricane Katrina and, o f course, the war in Iraq.

These are indeed dark days for the Bush White House, as well as for the American public. But even with all of the negative publicity and illegal shenanigans going on with our president and his adminis­tration, I get the feeling that most people still support the president

^ w i t h a little blind faith and a lot of hope.

That’s reasonable enough. Support is im portant to our troops abroad and for the families still waiting for their loved ones to come home from this complete debacle we call the Iraq War.

It’s important, but I am a journalist. As a journalist, I look at the facts. The facts as we know them include that we were lied to about the war. We were lied to by Republicans and Democrats, and to defend either side would be w orthless..

The fact that one of these teams helped transport our 90-year-old mother from the stands in such a caring, gen­tle and expedited m anner led directly to her quick recovery from overheating.

The good-natured advice aljout drinking more w ater when it’s hot outside has stuck with her and another such incident has been avoided.

Bless you members of Chelsea Area Fire Depart­ment.

The Chelsea S tandard online, I read the artic le “Plans move forward for schedule change,” about changes to the Beach Middle School schedule.

I am a teacher in a middle school that utilizes this method of pedagogy and it has proven to be beneficial for a ll involved.

I graduated from Chelsea High School in 1998 and also attended Beach Middle School. . I g raduated ft:om Eastern Michigan University in 2002, and I am now employed by the Bristol- W arren Regional School District in Rhode Island.

Kickemuit Middle School, the only middle school in our district, like Beach Middle School, uses the team-teach­ing approach. We have 12 teams in our bu ild ing— four at each grade level.

While most of our teams are comprised of four teach­ers^ each teaching one of the core subjects, I am on one of

The idea of a team reminds most of us of sports teams, where a group of people come together to perform at a level which will allow them to be successful, both indi­vidually and cooperatively..

I feel that the team-teach­ing approach allows the same principle to occur in the classroom; Students and teachers come together to

create a positive learning environment in which all stu­dents are able to succeed.

On a daily basis, I see stu­dents in my classes turning to one another for help with an explanation of a concept or perhaps oil a particular math problem. I feel that my stu­dents are also comfortable in presenting information to their peers because they see each other throughout the day in the core subjects.

As a teacher, I am always trying to figure out how I can be a better teacher to a stu­dent who is struggling in my class. Working with a core group of teachers allows me to bounce ideas off of the oth­ers who see the same stu*

Bush administration still has the nerve to tell the entire country that they “thought’’ Iraq was assem­bling a stockpile of weapons. Sorry, I’m not buying it.

This war was created on a mistake. Some would go as far to say the administration intentionally misled the public by information tam­pering and manipulation. That, of course, is not a fact, and it’s something that can easily be denied.

For me, it’s simply enough to know that decision-mak­ers in our government start­ed a_ war based on intelli­gence that was shaky at best

and outright faulty ait worst.Is it not common sense to

gather as much verifiable information as possible before taking any kind of risk?

They created this war without doing that. It’s all in black and white. We know for a fact that they were wrong, We’re talking about wasting human life here, and all President Bush has done is give us excuses.

Iraq contained nothing that even resembled a stock­pile of dangerous weapons. And to make matters worse, the government decided .to spend millions and millions of our tax dollars looking for something that wasn’t there.

Instead of saying, “Oops,

we were wrong,” Congress approved another multi- million dollar project to fund a second Iraqi Survey Group. But, this time, they did it right. They gave these soldiers and researchers the most up-to- date, modern equipment available.

And you know what they accomplished with all this fancy, expensive equip­ment? Nothing. They found the exact same thing the first group found, which is noth­ing,

I understand that people want to support our govern­ment and they have a hard time separating the office of the president from our incredible Soldiers abroad. I have a family member who is

a Marine and who was in the first convoy that stormed into Baghdad. So, I’m famil­iar with that sick, worried feeling, although I just can’t imagine what the parents have been forced to go through.

I understand all of that, but there’s also a little thing called common sense. Right now, I’m finding it hard to give the president and the rest of the policy-makers in Washington, D.C., whether they are Republican or Democrat, much benefit of the doubt knowing what we know and seeing what we have seen,

dents. I can ascertain then if the student is struggling only in my class or if she is having difficulty in other classes, as well.

With common planning time, this communication between teachers is invalu­able. Teachers are able to discuss not only student con­cerns, but also curriculum topics that can be approached through multi-, pie disciplines. We are con­stantly working .together to try to make connections between math, social studies, language arts and science

v You can see I believe that the benefits of team-teaching are so much more than gain­ing five minutes of class time for the core subjects. Unlike other approaches, team teaching not only encourages teamwork from teachers and students, but

We should treateveryone equally

I was born shortly after World War II. Growihg up,. I learned about the horrors of World War II — the Nazi- attempted extermination of categories of people that they thought were inferior and the United States’ drop­ping of nuclear bombs.

I felt relieved that I had not lived then, so that I . was spared having moral qualms about actions of omission and commission that con­tributed to these horrors.

However, now I am an

adult and, unfortunately, our world is facing new horrors, including torture, renditions, disappearances, suggestions for new nuclear weapons, terrorism, killing innocents in order to kill the “suspect­ed” guilty, denying basic humane treatment to non- enemy combatants and ille-

gal immigrants.So, now it's my turn. Now I

am responsible. We all are responsible. We must work to promote and ensure the dig­nity, value and equal treat­ment of all people regardless of their “category.”

Wheii 87-year-old Grace Cote picked up her phone Oct. 26, she was sure the woman on the other end was a telemarketer.

A woman, and later a man who' identified himself as "Bill Peterson,” were calling- on behalf of a security firm organized to protect senior citizens and their financial accounts from fraud.

After much convincing and frightening data about bank scams, Cote was convinced she should give Peterson her National City checking account number so that he could “protect her” from future fraudulent transac­tions:

“If they’re asking for the information, you know right, there there’s something wrong,” said Todd Gustke, Detroit Metro Identity Fraud Task Force manager.

Gustke’s task force, com­prises agents from the FBI and Secret Service, U.S. Postal Service inspectors and Wayne County Sheriffs Department deputies, as well •as Troy and Auburn Hills police. It has been in exis­tence since the late 1990s, when incidents of identity fraud soared.

Gustke said today’s scams have largely moved away from the phone in favor of the Internet,

An increasingly popular identity theft ploy is “Phishing," whereby thieves attempt to gain account information by sending an electronic “information update” request. While these often appear convincing, the sender has no personal infor­mation to update except the recipient’s e-mail address;

Still, telephone scams that attempt to retrieve the vic­

tim’s credit card number are. prevalent. and Gustke warned against giving out any numbers or personal identification over the phone, ■

He added that many fraud rings operate with the help of an insider.

“We’ve had collusive tellers;” he said, referring to bank fraud. “These groups are sending people in to get jobs at financial institutions.

“That is a big. big prob­lem.”

A National City investiga­tor involved in the case said she was not allowed to com­ment on it, and bank spokes­woman Terri Wilson, would not comment on the bank’s" screening procedures for newemployees.

She did say “no bank would ask you for your check­ing account or Social Security num ber over the phone.”

When “Peterson" further probed Cote for information on other accounts, she became alarmed, ended the call, and contacted her bank.

The bank immediately closed her account.

Connie Spada, an employ­ee at Cote’s branch, said; “This is happening a lot the past year. We’ve had a lot of instances this week;”

Photo eourtesy of Andrew Sacks Dave McCarthy, a radio engineer with Team PCS of Jackson, checks oh sight lines and terrain from atop the water tower in Sylvan Township, His company is submitting a proposal to install a high-speed wireless Internet service that would serve the entire 36-square-mile area of Sylvan Township.

The w ater tower in Sylvan Township may soon serve more than one function..

Sylvan Township has issued a request for propos­als for a wireless, high-speed Internet provider after the Township Board formed an ad-hoc committee in September to explore how to provide the opportunity for service to residents.

The township wants to license an Internet provider to mount equipment on the Sylvan- Township Water Tower to provide connectivi­ty at "a reasonable cost to the portions:-of the township, w here 'there is currently no economical access to the technology,” according to the request for bids.

The proposals are due to the township by 11 a.m. Jan.4. They w ill be publicly.

. opened and read at 7 p.m.Andy Sacks, a volunteer

m em ber of the technical committee that wrote the request for proposals, said the township is not.intending to become a provider or licensor Of wireless services but to provide an Opportunity that most people in the area already have.

"We're not in it to make a lot of money,” Sacks said, ‘‘We’re doing this so that peo­ple who live and work in the township can have what the city of Chelsea and other neighboring areas have.”

Sacks said township lead­ers felt Washtenaw County’s proposed Wireless Wash­tenaw initiative was not

going to provide the near- term solution the township was seeking for its Internet needs and went ahead with seeking its own proposals,

Residents living south of Interstate' 94 are currently underserved by high-speed Internet providers, Sacks said. These residents have to use land line dial-up Internet services, but have no cable television or Digital Sub­scriber Line access as they are located too far from the central offices of th e s e . providers. The startup costs for th^se types of services is high, he said.

With 1,200 households in the township, Sacks said it creates a great opportunity for an Internet provider.

According to the docu­ment, the. vendor would be required to cover the entire portion of the township, but would not be limited to the area, provide a bandwidth at least 10 times the dialup speed, and provide free In ternet access to the Township Hall and state police qutpOst located there.

The vendor also would need to pay a lease payment for use of the water tower, but Sacks said , the vendor would not be required to use the water tower. The town­ship is simply offering it as an option, he said.

A crowd of about 100 local residents and government leaders turned out Saturday to officially welcome Chel- sea’shew fire chief,

Jam es Payeur and his wife, Kim, were the guest's of honor at the open house, which was held a t the Chelsea Area Fire Auth­ority's main fire station on West Middle Street'.

Payeur, a former Pittsfield Township Fire marshal who Was among 60 applicants for' the position, said he was happy to be back in Washtenaw County afteb

Payeur has been Chelsea’s

Payeur said he is up for the challenge in Chelsea. So far, he has been, working 10- to13-hour days while trying to get up to.speed. He has been train ing and attending, evening meetings. -

F ire Authority Chair­woman Maryann Noah -said that the board is th rilled to have Payeur at the helm of the fire department.

“I think he is highly quali­

Juliana Nichols has her heart set on the silver screen.

And the Chelsea High School student is already well on her way, having been select­ed to fly in January to California, Where she will try to catch the eye of talent agents.

Juliaha^the daughter of Dexter second- grade teacher Julie Nichols, will participate in the Hooray for Hollywood Convention the week of Jan. 9, It’s the same event that led movie stars Katie Holmes and Ashton Kutcher to fame and fortune.

Juliana got started along this career path at Bates Elementary School in Dexter, where vocal music teacher Louis Gruppen chose her to perform with Gemini, two brothers who sing and record music for children She then performed at Ann Arbor’s Top of the Park summer festival with other elementary school pupils from local schoolf

“I believe this was the start of Juliana’s interest to perform publicly,” her mother said. “She glowed, as she stood between the two brothers while they autographed pro­grams in the lobby after the performance."

Juliana played clarinet with the Dexter band, and enjoyed participating in solos and ensembles.

“Juliana worked hard at playing the instru­ment and was not a natural musician like her brother, Graham,” Julie said. “Dexter’s band directors were always encouraging to Juliana, which made all the difference."

In August 2004; the family moved to Chelsea. Juliana and her sister, Jillian, attended Chelsea schools, where both switched from band to chorus.

“Juliana immediately sensed the quality of the vocal music program in Chelsea,’’ Julie said. ■ ■

Juliana works under the direction of teacher Steven Hinz, and is performing in this year’s Chelsea High School Madrigal Dinner. ■■

During the fall of Juliana’s sophomore year at Chelsea High School, a representative

infrom Barbizon Modeling School passed out information. Although Juliana took a hand­out home to her mother, Julie told her she couldn’t pursue it.

“Weeks passed, and then it was the day for the audition in Southfield to see if you had potential in the area of modeling,” Julie said.

“Juliana was insistent that we go, so we did. They told Juliana they felt she had the potentialto have a career in model­ing.’’

Juliana then attended all-day Barbizon Modeling School sessions on Saturdays in Lansing. During one of these, an audition was announced for the International Model and Talent Association Hollywood Competi­tions.

Juliana auditioned in Southfield with students from across Michigan, and presented a “cold read,” a script handed to a read­er minutes before they step before a camera and perform.

Michigan IMTA representa­tive Sheryl Stokes, as well as a Los Angeles-based talent agent who once rep­resented Angelina Jolie, were impressed.

“They felt Juliana had great poten­tial in the area of commercial print and television," Julie said. “They told Juliana they felt companies would want her to sell their hair products because of her hair.They strongly advised Juliana to goto Hollywood and compete in front of agents.”

Juliana began preparation classes, and attended Barbizon Modeling School and IMTA sessions all day, every weekend.

“It’s so much fun to meet new people and talk about things we’rp all interested in, like makeup, hair, fashion and acting, Juliana said.

Snyder serves as advocate for local youthM i n i s t r y d i r e c t o r c o n n e c t s w i t h k i d s

B y H e a t h e r C o n n o r 'Staff Writer

A sympathetic, ear is often all a teenager needs when he or she is navigating the path of adolescence.

That’s what Todd Snyder does for youth who attend Dexter United Methodist Church and for students at Dexter High School. - -

As director of youth ministries for the church, Snyder works as an advocate for’ young people and their families when it comes to the trials and tribulations they face.

“I like connecting with kids,’’ Snyder said. “I feel like kids can never have , too many fathers or male role models. It’s a good inters action. Kids give a lot of grace. They’re just fun to be around.”

Before becoming youth ministries director in September, students in Dexter schools would know Snyder for his roles as parapro- fessional, substitute teacher and as assistant coach for the boys’ cross country team at Dexter High School.

The. former runner for Pioneer High

School in Ann Arbor said he enjoys working with athletes; The Dexter team has won four consecutive Division II state championships and is ranked sixth in the Midwest.

“That felt like a full-time job,” Snyder said of his assistant coaching role. “I do enjoy running with the guys. It’s usually a big-time .commitment, but worth it to connect with the guys. They’re a lot of fun.”

Snyder, 28, grew up in Ann Arbor and gr'ad-- uated froni the University of Michigan with a degree in English. He had always felt God was a distant being until he broke his foot ( and his theft-girlfriend broke up with him

. when he was 22.“Considering the tragedies of the world, it

was pretty small. But to me, it was a big deal in my own little world,” he said.

The experience may have been what began to lead Snyder down the path he is on. A friend began sharing his faith with Snyder while he was recovering from injuries, both emotional and physical.

“He was very comforting, and one of my friends who was willing to talk to me and lis- — — : gee SNYDER —>4*e

W o t E e s D e e s C r e e s - m a s ?Wot Ees DeesCrees-mas? Dear Friends and Neighbors. ■If someone came to America

at this time of year - someone totally outside our culture, who could communicate just a jittle

.hit in our language but knew nothing about our' customs - what impressions would they get

L of the holiday we call "Christmas"? How long would it take them' to discover what it was really about?

They’d hear songs'about a White Christmas, a Blue Christmas, and a Holly Jolly Christmas. They’.d hear people singing about Wanting their .

I. two front teeth for Christmas, and even wanting a hippopotamus for Christmas.

They’d come into contact with Santa Clauses and elves and flying

livestock. They’d come across the ’ partying concept that Christmas is a time to imbibe very heavily in alco­holic beverages. .. If they finally did discover that Christmas is all about a Baby laid in a manger, would that come as a let­down Tor them after alt the excite- 1 ment our society creates around the Occasion?. Or would they be

impressed by hearing that the Baby in' the manger is God Himself come down to earth, in human form, to live and die as one of us, and to rise again,- in order to provide for us the gift of eternal life?

These are things Faith Lutheran Church will explore in our fifth annual Christmas play, which we pre­sent in our roomy and beautiful' • - church basement (our upstairs has been under'construction for almost 5 months)., ,

We invite.you and your family to attend, either tomorrow, December 16, or Sanirday, (Xcember 17, at 7;30 p.m. The play willlast about 45 minutes. .There will be no- * admission charged, nor any offering taken. Light refreshments will be provided after cach performance,, -

This play is more light-hearted ■ than our others, but we think you’ll get a clear message. -

You are also cordially invited to worship with us any Sunday morning) at 10:CO a.m. <?r Christmas Eye at 7:30 p.m. :

The event, called Christmas on the Farm, is among many attractions that the group puts on each year. It showcases how Christmas would have been celebrated during the late 1800s in a typical Midwestern farm. ^

The dining room was ready for a Christmas party, and both the log cabin and the 10-room farmhouse were decorated with Christmas items to celebrate the holidays. In addition, the kitchen was bustling with activity as a pot roast was cooking and a homemade apple pie was in the making.

Also, a blacksmith was working to showcase the items that would have helped the farm run.

Ducks Will Be Quacking About Bow! Snub; No Worries

for “ Perfect** Contestant in Power Points Contest

Midwest Results. Week IS - Next thing you know Rodney Dangerfield will be, named president of the University of Oregon.

The man who gets no respect would be a perfect fit at the school that went 10:1 on the football field this fall, hoped to captuVe a BCS bid and yet finds itself matched up against a 7-4 team, Oklahoma, in the not-so-lofty Holiday Bowl.

In fact, a total of 25 college football teams with worse records "than Oregon play uv later, more prestigious bowls this holiday season. This, presumably, is the price of being the Ducks land living in a state most Americans couldn't find on a map.

: Getting considerably more respect is Mike Gherardini, of Shattuc, IL. who was among two dozen contestants that tallied perfect scores of 136 points in Week 13 of the Midwest Power Points Cornest, lie emerged as grand prize winner when his Tiebreaker l .guesis; that 34 ’points would -be scored in the St. Louis- Wash ington game, proved to be only one point from the actual total of 33.

Most recently. the Bloomers have, become the first landowners to sell their development rights through the city of Ann Arbor’s Greenbelt program; protect­ing their land in perpetuity. They are reinvesting the funds from that transaction back into their farm to help their farming operation

-thrive and. grow,-according to

a press statement from the Washtenaw Land Trust.

The Bloomers own and operate Bur Oaks Farm in Webster Township,, where they grow, process, and pack­age the soybeans and corn for' their- Rabble Roasters snacks and organic popcorn; sold in stores both locally and across the nation/

"Tom and Rosanne have done so much for our local agricultu ra l..... community.although they themselves are always very modest about their-contributions," Susan Lackey. Washtenaw Land Trust executive direc­tor, said in the statement.;

A group of Beach Middle School pupils with an inter­est in science, technology, engineering and math is making local history.< The Beach Robotics Guild, led by technology teacher Duane Moss, is in its first year. The 10-member team placed fourth overall in pejr formance out of 22 teams at iL recent competition. The state competition was hetd Saturday in Novi.

The Beach club was start­ed to give students an oppor­tunity to experience first­hand what it means to come together in a team setting and rise to a challenge, and to understand that everyone has; something valuable to contribute and that by work­ing together great things can be accomplished, Moss said.

It gives students a hands- on experience with gears, motors, sensors and comput­er programs as they build, create and test various solu­tions.

The team^meets twice a

week after school Sept­ember through mid-Nov- ember.

Beach’s FIRST Legoleague is an offshoot of the high school robotics team. Each September. FIRST, or For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, announces its annual challenge, highlight­ing a current scientific or technological problem fac­ing the world.

The 2005 challenge; Ocean Odyssey, was to find solu­tions that will help sustain the health, bio-diversity and productivity of the world’s oceans for present and future generations.

Using Lego bricks and other elements such as sen­sors, motors and gears, teams gained hands-on experience in engineering and computer programming principles as they construct­ed and programmed their unique robot inventions

Teams competed in tour­naments and presented their solutions to a panel of judges.

The contest looks at design and performance of the

robot to accomplish mis­sions, as well as the presen­tation of research done on a topic related to the ocean.

The Chelsea team picked plastic pollution in the ocean, researching and pre^ senting information in the form of a skit. Each team member had a part in the skit.

As part of the competition, students realize the impor­tance of planning, time man­agement, collaboration and teamwork to achieve goals, Moss said.

The team received finan­cial support this year from DaimlerChrysIer AG and the Chelsea Education Foun­

dation. In addition, mem­bers of the Chelsea High School Robotics Team served as mentors.

FIRST was founded in 1989 by Dean Kamen, inven­tor of the Segway Human Transporter. It operates the FIRST Robotics Comp­etition in which teams of high school students, spon­sored and assisted by local companies and volunteers, design, assemble and test a rpbot capable of performing a specified task in competi­tion with other teams.

Flat-screen monitors, laptops, digital cam eras popular items

By Terry JacobyH e r ita g e N ew sp a p e rs .

Nasser Abunab never wanted to be Santa Claus, but he does have plenty of suggestions when it comes, to the perfect gift for some­one on your list who has caught the “computer” virus.

Abunab, of Southgate Computers, starts off with a simple suggestion: Let them decide what they need or want for their computer.

“Gift cards are always a good way to go,” he said. “If they want something spe­cial, then- give them the card and let them get exact­ly what they want. This wayyou don't do a lot of work only to have them return it for something they really wanted.”

In other words, gift cards are easier on everyone.

But if you want to put something un.der the tree bigger than an envelope, here are a few ideas. Flat-screen monitors ,

Like many computer com­ponents, flat-screen,, moni­tors have come down in price over the past few years. In fact, they are almost standard now with any new system. A 17-inch monitor can be had for as little as $200,

“The 19-inch flat screen monitors are very popular,” Abunab said. “They are bet­ter monitors than the older ones, they use much less desk space and are easier on the eyes. They have a very high resolution."

So what’s not to like?A 19-inch monitor starts

at around $300, The Dell 1905FP 19-inch flat panel

Here are a few q u ick gift ideas for the com ­puter fan In your life a s the holidays approach.

■Thumb drive with at least 512 miilibytes of memory. Great for trans­ferring flies from one PC to another.

■ CD/RW internal or external drive. Great for backing up those impor­tant files.

■ Digital camera. Do­

wnload those pictures to your PC and back them up on disc.

■ RAM for your PC. Upgrade your PC to its potential,

■ What about throwing out that old computer and treating yourself to a new one.

monitor adjustable three-year warranty costs $359 on the Dell Web site.

LaptopsA Compaq Presario note­

book computer with rom/cd- rw drive, 14-inch widescreen, 40GB hard drive and 256MB of memory runs under $750 on Best Buy’s Web site. Deals on laptops are out there if you’re prepared to shop

around.“Sure. 'th e re ‘ are great

deals on laptops and have become very affordable for kids in school, whether it’s college, high school or eVen.younger,” .Abunab said. “If you get a $500 one you might need to add a few things depending on what you

■ plan on using it for.”The average price fqr a

student laptop is right around $800, he said.

Like a desktop computer, it’s important'to make sure the laptop fits your needs, he said. Customizing a lap­top is easy to do and can’ save money in the end and provide the machine thait is right for you.External storage units

A hot item that is certain■ to find its way under plenty of Christmas trees this year is external storage units.

"These; units provide not only external storage space,- but some also come with a screen to watch movies and play music,” Abunab said. An external storage unit with 40 gigabytes of capaci­ty will cost around $220 .depending on the brand. Game cards

Anyone., with -a-teen-ager

"Online players and those that play high-end games want the best' in. their machine-.''; Abunab said! "Playing online w ith the best hardware and software certainly gives that player an advantage "Network digital cameras

A popular camera is the Sony SNCrMl that, incorpo­rates built-in Web servers,, network interfaces and built-in microphones. With a single camera, both video' and audio monitoring can be achieved over a net­work.

These cost about $130: 'Wireless mouse •

Search is ori for couple’s daughter, Sorant Mokede

By Paula Evans NeumanH erita g e N ew sp a p ers

James Saute? has had a shoebox full of love letters since he found them about seven years ago.

The 135 letters were hand­written in. 1944 and '45 by Ernestine Mokede to her groom, Albert. She was 20 years old. He was 25 and serving in the U S. Navy.

Ernestine wrote to him nearly every day, pouring out her love and the details of her days in a flowing script formed with* a~fountain pen filled with blue ink.

The ink that created the more than 60-year-old words has barely faded on the_y&L.lowing sheets of thin paper.

Sauter, 56, found the letters one day at work when they fell out of a car on its way to be recycled.

It was raining, the Browns- town Township resident remembers. He picked them up off the ground, brushing the mud off the envelopes.

“We recycle cars and, a lot of times, things fall out of them,” he said.

At home, he began to read the letters. He was touched by their contents. 7~

“They were just so much in love,” Sauter said. “I can’t imagine being that deeply in love.” .

He and his wife, Carol, have moved three times since he found the letters, which he has stored carefully in date order in a shoebox. Sauter has carried the shoe- box with him each time he changed residences.

Ernestine began writing to her new husband from Belleville, Texas. Then she moved to Hancock Street in Detroit to live with Albert’s mother and await his return.

Albert was stationed at the Navy School; of Music in Washington, D. C., and then

N a t i o n

in.San FranciscoHis bride was a librarian,

and her writing reflects edu­cation, each word spelled correctly, each comma and semicolon in its proper place.

She had a brother named Rowland and several sisters, one of whom was named Margaret.

She always addressed Albert as "my darling," .

In one letter, she wrote of "that. glowing love we now feel” and of wondering how people fall out of love as they get older.

“It seems to me that I could never love you less,” she wrote. “I love you very much, my wonderful darling.”

Using details gleaned from the letters. Sauter has researched Albert andErnestine' through theInternet,

He learned that Albert,born Nov. 8,1917, died in 2002 at the age of 85. Ernestine* born March 29, 1922, died in 1979, at the age of 57.

And they had at least one child, a girl, named Sorant Alexa Mokede.

Ernestine wrote in her let­ters about how much the two wished to have a child, Sauter is glad to know they did.

Sorant would be 58 today, about the same age as Sauter. Like hers, both his parents have died.

“If they were my parents, I would think this (box of let­ters) was such a treasure,” he said. “I won’t be satisfied until I get them to her.”

Via the Internet, he has tracked Sorant through the addresses where the Mokede family lived.

“You can tell she moved to the same addresses they did," Sauter said.

He found her at last — or someone with the same unusual name — in New Orleans. But her address and phone number were unlist­ed, and his search hit a dead end there,

Sauter had a friend who is a police officer try to find a

He called the Times- Picayune newspaper in New Orleans, and was told that finding anyone in the city after Hurricane Katrina is nearly impossible.

Sauter has no way to know if Sorant is still there, or even if she is still alive.

But he has carried Ernestine’s passionate let­ters with him, hoping to give

them to Sorant someday a testament to the life and love of her parents before she was borii.

“I can’t part with them because I know they mean something to somebody,” Sauter said. “It would be such a great Christmas present.”
