A Grand Rapids-tiased oU corpo­ration was given the go ahead Mon­day by the Novi City Council to search for petroJeum deposits under the city's new north-end park.

Wolverine Gas and Oil Co. has

retained Eagle ESqploration to con­duct a three-week seismic survey using a series of dyilamlte charges on both public and private land north of Twelve Mile I^ad. Includ­ing the Novl Tree Farm site.

The council majority agreed to the late February/early March test­ing on city-held land at the recom­mendation of the city administra­

tion and over the protests of Coun­ci l Members Carol Mason and T i m Pope. Wolverine will pay a $25 per­mit fee and an as yet undetermined donation to the city's tree fund for the privilege.

"This is a loss leader. We're going to make it up In gallonage . . . Oil Wells can be a profitable asset," City Manager Edward Krlewall said.

lO-iewall said he Would have to check to see If the city owned the oil rights to the new park land it has re­cently purchased.

The property is zoned for residential-agricultural use. Novi ordinances only per111it oil Wells on land zoned for industrial, but if oil were to be found and i f the council Were to agree to a well, Kriewall said

the well could be located at the site of the city's Waste water treatment plant on Decker Road and then be drilled at an angle to the city park on TNvelve-And-A-Half Mile Road,

This fall, the city turned down a request from another oil company Which sought oil and gas leases for Rotaiy Park on Nine Mile Road.

Council members in support of

tile project reiterated that they were agreeing to a seismic survey only, not an oU well.

"Tills council has an obligation to explore the possible revenue sour­ces, if there is oil and gas possibill-Ues on the clty-owned properties, and to bring that revenue to our clU-

Residents organize to figlit oil survey By J A N J E F F R E S Staff Writer

Residents in the Nine Mile Itoad/ Meadowbrook ftoad area are orga­nizing to fight a possible oil well in their neighborhood.

In September, the NoVl City Council nixed a request from the T1:aVerse City-based Savoy Oi l and Gas Co. to lease the mineral rights to Rotaiy Park. Just off Nine Mile Road.

Since then, Meadowbrook Lake subdivision residents Lora Toth and Lisa Barton have been talking to area businesses and homeow­ners, asking them not to sign any

Sites securred by Wolverine Oil Co. for seismic survey Sites proposed by Wolverine Oil Co. for seismic survey Area of oil lease procurement by Savoy Oil Co. Sites of existing oil wells

''WeVe contacted eveiyone i n the immediate area, either by the phone or by mail. Everyone we've talked to seemed to l)e real nega-UVe." Toth said.

T h e y all realize nobody would get rich but the oi l companies."

Savoy was turned down by the Meadowbrook Lake homeowners association when it sought a lease

on that subdiVlslon's park.-Home­owners i n Deerbrook subdivisiori were also opposed to the Idea.

After the holidays. Barton said they plan to launch a petition drive to seek signatures of residents op­posed to oU and gas drilling, and will also ask to meet wi th other Novl homeowners groups.

The homeowners fear possible environmental contamination and

health l izards-lf-awellHis^p^ near a highly-pdpulatied residential area.

Toth said she opposed the clty council action to allow exploration for oil on Novl parkland.

"I can't believe they're allowing seismic testing When they know how the community feels," she added.

The NoVl Board of Education is hoping state legislators wil l have the school finance riddle figured out before a decision has to be made next week whether to collect half or all of the school district's property taxes in July.

A s lawmakers debated the school flilance plan last Thursday, Novl tloard members voted to hold a public hearing at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 29 to debate the pros and cons of whether they Will collect 50 or 100 percent of their property tax re-Venues on the summer tax b i l l .

Trustee Itobert Schram forced discussion of the Issue Thursday night before he left for a previous

engagement 'We haven't seen any figures

from the state yet, so I'm not sure how it w i l l affect us," he said about the school finance plan that is ex­pected to be handed down by legi­slators Ijefore the Christmas bredc.

Schram left the meeting before the board Voted to post the special meeting, but not before he voiced his opl111on.

'1 hope we wouldn't levy lOO per­cent in the summer and zero per­cent in the winter," he said. "I'd like to maintain the 50-50."

Board President Ray Byers re­minded boa rd members they couldn't vote on changing percen­tages collected on bi-a11nua1 tax bills without first noticing and hold­ing a public hearing.

He said the board could have voted last week to maintain the two tax billings as the district has done In the past, but to levy the full 100 percent on the summer tax btQ w o u l d r e q u i r e i n p u t f rom taxpayers.

Based on the uncertainty of the 1994 millage. James Koster, assis­tant superintendent for business and ope1:atlons, recommended the lloard opt for the full summer tax levy to avoid a cash flow deficiency,

"We have no Idea of what tax Will be levied or how tax dollars wil l be distributed," he told the boand Thursday.

But i f the current House Version of the school finance plan passes.

Three Nov! candidates didn't quite make the early December deadline for filing their post­election campaign reports but did get the paperwork In recently.

They are 111ayoral hopeful and Council Member Joseph Toth, win­ning candidate Counci l Member H u ^ Crawford and candidate Walt JeiSdns.

The deadline for filing the reports was Dec. 2, one month afer the Nov. 2 election. Jenkins turned i n his do­cuments to the county clerk's elec­tion ofllce on Dec. 6; Toth and Crawford submitted their reports

on Dec. 13. The penalty for late filing Is $25

per day. Financial statements for the can­

didates which were turned l n by deadline — mayoral candidates Kathleen McLallen and Nancy Cas­sis and city counci l candidates Oliver Hayman, Rob Mltzel, H m Pope, David Ruyle and Robert Taub — appeared earlier In Tfie Novl News. Wr i t e - i n candidate for mayor, Lee BeGole, was given a waiver because he planned to spend less than $1,000 on the race.

Jenkins dissolved his election committee on Dec. 6, certifying no assets or outstanding debts. Taub was the only other candidate who

has dissolved his committee. The biggest spender in the elec­

tion was M c l ^ l e n , who had ex­penses of $14,338. Mltzel spent the least, $1,760, followed by Jehkln-s, who shelled out $1,829 during the race.

Here are highlights of the reports turned Into the Oakland County Clerk's election office by Toth, Crawford and Jenkins.

J O S E P H TOTH F O R M A Y O R Re­port filed by his treasurer, wife Marsha Toth. His total contribu-tloi1s amounted to $5,636; he spent $5,466. M e r the pre-election re­port, Toth took In $2,586.

They say this is the season for giving, but for one NoVl resident the holidays haVe become the season for giving back.

Lee Mamola, Novl architect, Rot­a iy member and all-around good guy, was out Jogging through down­town Northvllle last Saturday wi th his running club when he ran by Northvllle City Hal l and stumbled across a lost wallet. "I literally kicked the wallet out of the gutter," he said.

Meny Christmas to Novl, espe­cially from 42 families, six homeow­ners groups and six businesses.

They're the folks wi th such an abundance of holiday spirit that they lit up their homes or busines­ses — and our evenings — wi th downright spectacular outdoor decorations.

Such good cheer did not go un ­noticed — these 54 winners of the city's annual contest for best-dressed homes and businesses

were presented Monday with Novi Christmas ornaments and. for the most outstanding, plaques.

"This was Just an Incredible, out-standlngyear for lights In the City of Novi," Mayor Kathleen Mcl,allen said in announcing the winners.

"If you've only got time to drive through one subdivision. Deer-brook is Edison's best customers. If one did it well, the other did it bet­ter. They Just went crazy."

How "crazy?" Willowbrook resi­dent Mike Natzel said he used 1,400 red, white and blue lights to build a huge American flag on the side of

his home — to, say nothing of the other lights and the Christmas train in his front yard.

SUll, what McLallen termed the team of elves evaluating the win­ners gave the "best of all , most spec­tacular" award to Roy and Carolyn Wilson on Sullivan Lane in Cedar Springs. Every window of their home Was decked out with holiday scenes, including reindeer, a sleigh and Santa.

"They're having a power outage up on Sullivan." McLallen quipped.

local school districts would have 16 allocated "11118. Another 2.4 mills could be levied Without a Vote of the people, Koster said.

EitherWaythe 16 mills would keep Novl schools afloat with a positive cash flow In 1994 if the full levy was collected on the summer tax bill .

Currently the district levies 34.2 mills which is divided in half and col­lected on two taxbills.Thlsyear, levy­ing 50 percent In the summer and 50 percent In the Winter allowed Nov! to meet its operational needs without having to borrow money.

That may not be the case in school year 1994-95 if the district's tax re­venues are slashed in half and have

"I hope we wouldn't levy 100 percent in the sum­mer and zero percent in the winter, I'd like to maintain the 50-50."

Robert Schram School board trustee

to be collected on separate bills. " . . . With the proposed millage

structure (16 n1ills). a 50 percent levy of eight mills would place the district injeopardy of a cash flow deficiency," Koster explained in a memo he Wrote to the hioard. "Coupled with the fact that there has bieen no process yet

defined as to how or when the State would make payments to local dis­tricts, the cash flow issue Is totally unpredictable."

Koster was following the Michigan AssociaUon of School Admli11stra-tors' recommendation to levy the full lax In Ju ly .

The dilemma the board faced Thursday Was that a resolution to change the levy amounts would have to pass t y the Ixjard before E)ec. 31. According to state law, the district must have a signed agreement with the city of NoVl In order to collect the summer taxes.

What remal11s to be seen Is if the boa1xi adopts a resolution to change the taxing plan from 50-50 to 100 percent can the resolution be over­ruled If the state's school finance act provides enough revenue to run the

district next year. That Was l:>oard Vice president Ste­

phen Hitchcock's concern. T m concerned that we can't re-

Verse It," he sald. "But If we don't do It then we Will haVe to bonDW money rather than collect the lOO percent if We do11't need to.

"One-hundred percent In J u l y may create some bad feelings." he said about taxpayers' response to paylilg a l l their property taxes at one time.

Koster said other school districts In UVonla and Crosse l\)lnte have al­ready gone to the 100 percent Sum­mer tax collection.

There Were also concerns on the

board about the state's reputation for late payments and the Impact that Woidd have on Novl schools.

"The state has always paid late," said Board TVeasurer Dr. Cralg Fore-beck. "Expect the first payment In October. But without adequate In­come We may have to borrow more than once.

"rd prefer the 100 percent." he said.

But other board members were on tlie fence.

•We are Voting tonight to glVe ourselVes another two weeks," said Byers.

-ze11s," Mcl,allen said, adding that the city has had a "poslUve experi­ence" with Its two existing Wells.

"These Wells have proven to bie very safe and functional Wells."

Mason questioned the impact of the survey on the cuiea's wildlife and environment. North Novi has a num­ber of wetlands near Walled Lake. She called for a public hearing on the Issue before the council made Its decision.

'We can't Just let this slip by us. There's dynanlite charges in the seistnlc survey. It's a serious sltua-Uon. You're talking abou t land owned by the taxpayers. We have a lot of wildlife here, deer and small ani­mals." Mason said.

"I feel this Is too serious a situation for us to be Just drawing out a con­tract. We should have input from the citizens before We agree to this in any way. shape or form."

'What we'lie looking at is a possi­bility of drilling for oil on land that be­

longs to the citizens." Kl-lewall said that Wolverine ap­

proached the city i n September. The fimi plans to do seismic testing in SecUons 1 .3 .4 .9 ,10,11.12 and 15. To use the explosives, a permit from the city fire marshall is needed.

LeonajTd Harrand. president of E:a-gle Exploration, explained that the survey reqlllres trimming trees by machete to create an eight-to-10 foot sight line for the surveyors. This is benellclal to wildlife, providing trails deer will use, he said.

"We cross thousands of miles of state land. The DNR (department of natilral resources) checks us. 1Ve never been called by the DNR for any mishap," H a n ^ d told the council.

"We have people out there. 1 have the utmost concern for the wildlife. 1 also have the utmost concern for our

people." T m not gong to drill in the middle

of the road or people's backyards." The seismic survey uses a series of

five, four ounce chai^ges of dynamite, planted five feet deep and set at

100-foot intervals, to measure the soundwaves bouncing off the rock formations. Experts are then able to determine If petroleum deposits are burled below. The dynamite Is elec-t1x)111cally detonated. •

Eagle expects to fire 50 to 60 pat­terns in the city over the course of a day. Each hole will be accounted for and relllled, Harrand said.

Fire Marshall B i l l Conn has al­ready protilbited the use of explo­sives on South Lake Court, South Lake Drive from BulBngton to Thir­teen Mile, TVelve Mile Road on Satur­days and Sundays during the holiday season, Wellington Drive, within the city's Wastewater treatment plant grounds and in apartment and con­dominium complexes, mobile home parks, high-density subdivisions a n d commerc ia l or i n d u s t r i a l developments.

Wolverine's exploration manager John Vrona said the company, which has been in business for 20 years, has coi11n11ssIoned 11,000 1nlles of seismic testing without "Incident" or

landowner complaint. No potenUal well site in north Novl has yet been deter1111ned, he said.

"We do have private citizens who are Ve1y interested in haVing their properQr evaluated," he add«l.

North Novi is full of wetlands. Vrona said state department of na­tural resources guidelines have strict requirements for oil drilling in wet­lands areas.

"We have people working on seismic lines. The charges are small. They are relatively irmocuous." Vrona told the council,

"I don't want to sound like a barba­rian. People shoot at deer with a shot­gun which is far more hazardous to their health than a seismic survey."

Wolverine operates primarily In Northern Micli lgan and has wells i n a number of count ies , i nc lud ing Ttaverse, Alpena, Bay, Ostego and B a n y . Oakland County Is becoming Increasing attractlVe to firms search­ing for oil and gas.

•We just feel the companies In-

VolVed In oil and gas exploration are flnding it a prospective area." Vrona explained.

Coi1ncll Member Robert Schmid moved that the survey be approved.

"We're not suggesting we're going to allow oil drilling," he said.

Pope's request to delete the testing i n vacant land behind homes on Di ­xon Road and near ShaWood l.ake was not supported by the council.

"Our goal is to stay in the undeve­loped areas for the 1nost part, if that's possible. We have utmost concern for the residents. We would not want to do anything that would bother them" Vrona said.

"Please don't make this so onerous that we can't do anything. You're put-Ung yoiu-selves at a disadvantage to say what's appropriate and what isn't, since 1 would hazard most of you have not been on a seismic line. 1 don't want to be condescending. I'm asking you to give us enough latitude."

A request from the council that

Wolverine give Its test results to the city was termed unusual by Vrona. w h o s a i d the i n f o r m a t i o n is proprietaly.

Mason, later Joined by Counci l Member Joseph Toth, contended that they were not provided with enough InformaUon about the pro­ject and Wolverine.

"Why do you want to do a survey If you didn't ulUmately want to And oil? This is a preliminary to flnding oil to dr i l l on land U1at belongs to the city." Mason said,

"We go crazy here with our author­ity i n tl1e admlnlstj^Uon and in the counci l . We don't th ink things through. If we say no to a well, they (Wolverine) take us to court and get a default Judgment."

The Southern Michigan Oi l Com­pany sued the city afl*r the council turned down Its appUcaUon to dr i l l a well on a Ten Mile Road site. The council agreed to the dril l ing before the case went to trial.

C o m m i s s i o n p l a y s t h r o u g h p r o t e s t T a r d y c a n l d a t e s f i l e

By S H A R O N C O N D R O N Stall Wnlor

• A handful of rrsidents from The Maples of Novl made their displea­sure k11oWn Wednesday night when ihe Novl Plarlning Commission re­vised a golf cart path for their subdivision-

It took commissioners four mo­tions to leach the 4-3 approval needed to divert from the original path plan that was approved b>' ciiy offlciaJs In J988.

A motion to approve the plan as presented and another to grant it with conditions died for lack of sup­port from commissioners. A third to deny the request altogether failed 5-2.

Commissioner Robert Taub was .absent from the meellrlg.

I'iannlng consultant Brandon Ho-; gers and J C K & Associates. Inc.. the city's engineer-s, recommended ap-

, proval of the revised pl.-ui as pre-;srnlcd by the developer. , "We've reviewed the Impact on the ; wetlands and wcVe walked the trails and we didn't see any nlore impact on Uie wetlands than whai's already there," Rogers told the commission.

; Developers were seeking the ^changes lo re-route the path around five of the nine fairways on the goLf :course. Four of the five were minor changes but the developer's plan to Irelocate the path on the ninth fairway Jcaused the biggest stir. I*revlously, the cart path bl-passed the pond to

the north on the flinth fairway. Now developers wanted it to swing south of the ninth hole.

Maples of Novl Developer Larry DelYiest of Classic Cons Uuction sald l i wasn't until the golf course opened this sunlmer that he realized there were glitches In the path plan.

"It's not practical today," DePrlest told the commission about the origi­nal plan which was designed by a golf course architect. "In some cases there is no room between the holes and people's decks."

It Isn't the first time the developer had sought to alter the path plan. I ^ t summer he offered an Interim plan that was denied t>y city officials because It allowed carts to travel on the paved r o a d s i n s i d e the development.

At the recommendaUon of the city's planning and traHlc Consul­tants that plan was denied for safety concerns.

DePrlest said he had to And some way to relocate the path to avoid steep terrains and protected wet­lands without intruding Into the backyards of resldeflts living Inside the development.

And that's what residents Were at the meeting to complain abouL Ap­proval of the plan triggered a sigh from the handful of residents who

cffo

voiced their opposition to changing the path.

Residents argued that DePrlest shouldn't be allowed to alter the golf cart path after homeowners had al­ready selected their units based on tile location of the previous path. Some homeowners claimed they paid a premium price to buy end units or units on certain fairways tiiat over­looked the nine-liole golf course lucked inside the development. They say they never Intended their back­yards and decks to become part of the course.

Some residents were outraged that this was the first Ihey had heard of the pi-oposed changes. Others argued tl-lat construction on the re­vised path had sUirted before the de­veloper had won the planning com­mission's approval.

"My wife and I bought this home and hoped It would be our last." sald Lou Bartlett. "We paid $10,000 extra to be on the r1inth fairway.

". . . Wewereassuredthepathway wouldn't clialige. Sudden^ all of these plans are changing even though they l iad the best arcl11tect In the state. In my case, the cart path Is going right behind the decks of our houses."

Todd Rishell also agrued against the developer's decision to change

the path after homes Were sold. "I paid a piiemlum to purchase an

end uni t It Was a unit that oITered more privacy and a natural setting. For the developer to cut a neW path goes agal11st What I Was promised."

Another problem facing the neigh­borhood is that golfers haven't al­ways followed the path. Both the de-Vcloper and the residents say golfers tend to follow their shots r e a g ^ l e s s of the paved path.

Commissioner Glen Bonaventilra argued that the Whole Issue had Very little to do With golf or golf etiquette. Instead he said the developer should have disclosed all the details sur­rounding the cart path location.

T h i s has nothing to do With golf," he said. "It has to do With disclosure to the people Who bought the homes."

Bu t DePrlest contends there should be no surprises to the people Who bought their homes on the golf course.

"The purchase agreement says the buyer knows that he or she is near the golf course and he or she should expect that balls may come near their homes,"

There was a Wad of $20s and S 10s on the sldewa1k," Mamola re­called. "I didn't count It but Judging by how thick It was, there must have been at least $200 there. . .It

was enough of an amount that I thought It must be Important, espe­cially this time of year."

Mamola picked up the cash and returned to his car. wondering what to do With his And.

"Honestly.Idld think aboutwhat I could do With the money." he said. But realizing that it might be for

Christmas presents and thinking about how he Would feel i f someone Walked oDTWlth his cash, he decided to Wait for Its rightful owner to appear.

Sure enough, a few minutes later a d i s t r a u g h t - l o o k i n g Woman stepped out of the post office and scarmed the sldewedk before rum­maging frantically through her car. Mamola approached and estab­lished that the cash Was hers, and returned it to the grateful Woman. He never learned her name.

Mamola said he still expects to noake one more And.

"People say things happen in threes, and I'm still waiting for that third Wad of money," he said.

While the contract With Novl's fine protection officers is almost six months overdue, both the city and union representatives agree the ne­gotiations went smoothly.

The pact With the Novi Fire Fight­ers Union Local 3232 Was unanim­ously approVed by the NoVl City Council Monday and now awaits a fi­nal okay from the union.

•WeVe had a Very good relation­ship with this union In general. This is a significant contract," Novfs As­sistant City Manager Craig Klaver told the council.

The firefighters ui1ion represents the full-time fire protection ofilcers. the fire marshall. the training olBcer and railklng ofilcers such as the lieutenant and captain. It does not Include the paid-on-call force.

"It isn't ofilcial. We haven't signed the contract," Gordon Ftoyhonen. vice president of Local 3232, said Tues­day, adding that the union has given p r e l i m i n a r y a p p r o v a l to the document.

"It's gone Very smoothly. There were no problems encountered. They didn't agree to everything We had. It Was give and take."

The contract calls for a 4 percent salary Increase in the first year, 3.75 percent In the second year and 3.5 percent in the third year.

A n acclerated bargaining p1-oceess was selected, Klaver explained, i n which both parties pick their three major issues and negotiate them.

"It avoids some of the more rancor­ous horsetrading negotiations and promotes a more harmonious rela­tionship," Klaver added.

The contract Is retroactive to Ju ly 1, 1993, and, if approved, wi l l run until June 30, 1996.

The unions main points Were pay.

retirement and uniforms, Poyhonen said.

In the past, the officers had bieen given an allowance to purchase their own uniforms. The pants cost $30 apiece, the dress shirts $30 and the sweatshirts $20. Now, the uniforms Will l>e provided and maintained by the city and the stafi"Will get a $100 belt and shoe allowance.

The flre protecUon ofilcers work a 12 hour day, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and a 48 hour Work week.

In 1993-94 pay tales forafire pro­tecUon officer start at $23,600 and rise to $38,600 after fouryears on the Job. Those at the lieutenant's rank get the same salary plus 9 percent and those at the captain's ra11k get the same pay plus 18 percent.

In addition to these raises, an of­ficer With over five years of service gets another 2 percent longevity in­crease in pay. That rises to 4 percent after l o years. 6 percent after 15 years and 8 percent after 20 years.

A l l officers hired after 1990 are re­quired to live Within 40 miles of the Novl city limits.

One change in the contract Was that When an emplfjyee retired, he or she Was given his or her unused sick leaVe In pay. The contract noW has a combined time oflf program which pools all Vacation, sick and personal days Into a single benefit bank, wi th no more than five days carried oVer. A union member gets 20 days per year after zero to fouryears seniority, 25 days after five to 10 years seniority and 30 days after 10 years on the force.

Each employee also recieves 13 paid holidays.

Upon retirement after 20 years or more, the fire protection officer gets full medical insurance for h im or her­self and spouse but must co-pay 20 percent.

I SlaK Wnlof ! T11C Novl Pla11nlng Commission

wUi be spending the holidays think­ing about what It Will be asking ciiy councU lo fund this year.

James Wahl. the city's director of plam1ing. said he was given a direc­tive hiy city ofUclals to have an lr11Ual line Item proposed budget prepared by Jan . 10.

The city's pla1111ing and commun­ity development budget Is separate f r o m t h e n i n e - m e m b e r commission's.

Wahl called for the formation of a plajlnlng studies committee to for-inulate any thoughts or Ideas and

brlllg them t>ack to the full commis­sion the first week in January. After Lhe commission reviews the prop­osed budget, the administration will eyeball it and then send It on to city council and public hearings.

Wahl indicated Lhe review process would be finalized in May.

Included In the department's ex­penses are $1,500 expenditures for memberships to professiorial organi­zations. The line Item covers publica­

tions and the seminars many of the city's staff planners attend.

Wahl also Indicated that the de­partment was looking to upgrade Its graphics software capabilities and buy a laptop computer.

T h i s has been an on-going prob­lem." he said atwut the department's inability to produce quality docu­ments for planning purposes. "Even though NoVl Is a fast growing com­munity our presentation and compu -

ter capabilities are back in the 1950s. •Certainly support for that at

budget time would be really helpful," he said.

The laptop computer would be used to send signals to the cable sys-tenls Lo provide graphic presenta­tions at meetings.

The planning director also sug­gested that additional mo111es be allo­cated to fine tune the city's master plan and to discuss a flve-year review

of that document. "We are suggesting that we spend

1994 looking at a five- year plan and atfuLurlng. . . This ls something we really need to talk about."

City planners are also suggesting that the zoning ordinance be updated and reviewed.

City plan111ng consultant Brandon Rogers said the ordinance should be reviewed every 10 years. Next year will mark a decade since the docu­ment was last reviewed.

Seeking to control land? Then pay for it

The couits have been very clear of late—when a murllcipalgovernment be­comes SO restricUve with Its regulations that the Owner of a piece of land can't use It, that constitutes a "taking."

When It happens, the courts have ordered the municipality to pay for the land.

Interestingly, some residents of Novi have recently come to the conclu­sion they have the right to dictate to other owners what they can and cannot do with their land without compensating those owners for the lose of their rights to use the land.

We are referring Of course to the de­bate over the Natural Resources Design Plan trails system. The topic came up again at the Novi City Council meeting last week. Council members were taking up the topic of whether to accept the title to an easement for the installation Of a trail In the Maples Of NOvl subdivision from the developer. The easement lies In the conlmons area of the subdivision, which means of course that deed restric­tions give all homeowners living in the subdivision an equal interest, an equal say in how the common land Is to be used and cared for.

StUl, a number of residents of the subdivision showed up to oppose the land trarlsfer. Lilce previous arguments over Novl's proposed citywide trails sys-em, the residents were concerned about

crime on the paths, disruption to wild-ife, and the loss of their privacy. They felt that since the trail would be closest to

G o v e r n m e n t

residents and learned that 20 percent, mostly those who lived near the com­mons area, opposed the trail. The other 80 percent, tllose with homes located away from the commons area, wanted the traU buUt.

Somehow this should be no sur­prise. A trail would allow residents from the other side of the sutxlivlslon to use the commons area. They too paid for It and they too own a share. Blocking the construction of the trail would keep them out.

The opponents claimed they were not Informed prior to buying their homes. One council member however came up with a sales brochure that spec­ifically mentioned that a nature trail was to be installed. Forget "buyer beware," let's at least have a standard of "buyer read the literature."

Opponents say they are concerned about wildlife, but their homes them­selves took habitat from the wildlife. A nature trail is a good deal less disruptive than a house.

Opponents are concerned about abductions and muggings on the paths,

feet their homes the most. Thus, they soever that nature trails attract a crime should have the most say tn what deci- problem. slon was made. Council was wise to resist the pres-

But that is not how property rights sure and Vote to accept the easement. work. Owners haVe the say, and an equal share in the land Is an equal share.

Mind you, the Issue before council was not whether the trail would actually )e built, lt wasjust a question of whether [le city should accept the land from the eveloper so that a decision on building

the trail could be made at some time in the future.

This time, the argument was more clearly defined than ever before.

Developer Sam Blumenstein in-brmed the council that he'd queried the

We'll suggest again our proposal for a solution to the issue — when 5l per­cent of the subdlVlslon residents who have. Via deed restrictions, an interest in the commons area sign a petition faVor-ing installation, the trail should be constructed.

Otherwise, If residents bordering the commons area want It for themseJVes and want to keep others out, they should buy up all the shares of the land and pay aU the other subdivision owners for their shares of the commons area.

There's bad blood between some of our state representa­tives l n Lansing. I'll Just report it. I won't get Into the fray.

Some troops who have been around awhile — two or more terms—are unhappy that many freshmen voted for S B 1. the $6.9 blQlon sc l lool property lax cut. and against replacement taxes. Thelr theoiy Is that It's Ir­responsible to vote two ways.

R e p . J a n D o l a n . R -Farmlngton Hi l l s , studied the rol l calls. Her chart shows how

everyone Voted on S B 1 and on flVe replacement taxes (In­come tax. single business tax. real estate transfer and two property taxes).

"It's Interesting to see who voted for S B 1 and who voted to keep schools open. ' she said. Of those who voted against the jTeplacement taxes, she said, "They must be­lieve i n the tooth fairy."

T l m Skublck, dean of the Capi to l correspondents, took Dolan 's side, accusing the other side of "profiles l n hypo­crisy." Let's see whom they're taUdng about: • Certalrlly Dan Gustafson. R-Haslet t—for S B 1. against a l l the replacement taxes. • Likely J e n y V o r v a . R-Plymouth — for S B 1. against the Income t a x S B T a n d real estate transfer, for the property taxes. • Maybe Kl rk Front. D-Ypsl lanU — for S B I and the In­come tax. against the S B T a n d real estate transfer, for the property taxes.

O n the other hand, WlUls Bul la rd . R-Mllford. Dolan, andTomMldd le ton , R-Ortonvllle, a l l Voted fo rSB 1 andaU

M o m e n t s

or most of the replacement taxes. Susan Munsel l , R-Howell . missed the S B 1 vote but supported the replace­ment taxes. , .

Before us ing a remark Uke "profiles In hypocrisy, let s listen to the reasons of those who voted against the re­placement taxes.

Gustafson, whose district Includes Western Livingston County, issued a Joint statement with Deborah Whyman, R-Canton. In the House Journa l saying they opposed the real estate transfer l ax because of the part ia l inelnstate-ment of the property t ax They voted against the use tax because It would l ie applied to Interstate telephone calls.

Whylnan and Gustafson also objected to the split rate for homes (16 mills) and business (20 mills). A faml adja­cent to a homesteaci would be taxed at 16 mil ls : a farm not adjacent to a homestead would be taxed at 20 n1ills. "This bi l l has serious problelns consUtuUonalfy and lacks fair­ness," they said.

A n Oakland C o i m t y conservative who voted for S B 1 and against a l l the replacement taxes was Greg Kaza. R-Rochester Hi l l s . K a z a Issued statements on vir tual ly eveiy bi l l , citing a pol l l n his district said Troy-Rochester Hi l l s folks asked for cuts i n overall spending, not doUar-for-dollar replacement.

Most of the dissenters were In their first terms. .As IVe noted In other columns, Vorva. whose district includes Northvilie, Is sore at the way the leadership negoUates de­als without consul t ing them and forces them into a take-It-or-leave It vote.

This Is one fray I won't get Into. At this wriUng, everyone Is on edge a n d desperate In Lansing.

T k l k about taking a beating. I'm s t i l l l icking m y woimds fol­lowing a recent school board meeting whelpe a couple North­vil ie High School students and p r i n c i p a l T h o m a s J o h n s o n came down ha rd on the media.

J o h n s o n s a i d the "media hype" sunroundlng the Issue of rac ia l and cu l tura l Intolerances at the high school threatened to change tlte intent of a cul tural diversity plan already In place at the school T h e p l an Included

u s ing J i m T u m a n , a nat t ional speaker a n d director of the Roya l Oak-based Positive School Suppor t Program.

H i m a n agreed to speak w i t h students i n late October before his ^ e d i I l e d appearance Nov. 5. More than 50 students attended the afternoon session designed to ad­dress rac ia l a n d cultUFEd intolerance.

Things got a little tense at the hour-long meeting where students shouted a n d cried as they r e c a l k d past taimts, rac ia l s l i l r s a n d shoving matches.

Y e t J o h n s o n a n d some students main ta in that the me­d i a M e w the incident out o f proportton. O u r coverage was unfair. It portrayed the h i g h school In a n unflattering l igh t t h ^ said.

I disagree. I th ink the reports were v e i y accurate. S t u ­dents were obviously upset wi th the dMstveness that had taken place In their school a n d were admirably passionate In their pleas to put a n end to I t

I can't recal l anybody criUcizlng NorthvUle H i g h School du r ing the whole o r d e a l In i a c t \ve praised the school edi­torially for addressing the conflicts before things got out of hand .

I don't even believe that the shoving Incident that occurred between a black rMe student a n d a white female student i n a h igh school haUway was a rac ia l confronta-t lonUkeanothernewspapersugges ted . I th lnkl twasJus ta

matter o f two k ids fighting. It was unfortimate. however, that the Incident took place right before Tuman 's address.

M y poljit Is that even If oli ly one student feels Intimi­dated or threatened by going to school, that school has a problem. Eveiyone has a ri^t to a qual i ty public educa­l lon In a safe environment.

If a s tudent gets pushed Into a locker because he's a "freak." o r a group doesn't Include a fellow student In Its activities because his or her s k i n Is dark, those students are going to be turned off of education because they'll dread going to school.

A H M V a r d University study, released Dec. 13. revealed that Amerc ian public schools are becoming more racially segregated n o w than at any time since the late 1960s. The report stated that racial segregation of schools was most llkety to occur In sma l l towns, ru ra l areas, smaller metro­politan areas a n d suburbs of medium-sized cities.

NorthvUle H l ^ School i s not the only school on M a i n Street U . S A that has had a few incidents o f racial and cu l ­tura l tension. I'd be wil l ing to bet that the occurrences of such Incidents Is min ima l compared to most schools.

However. NorthviUe High School Is not i m m i m e to the problem, either, a n d shouldn't pretend that it Is.

Being a teen-age Is stressftjl enough. W h e n you add In-sensltlvlty among your peers to I t growing u p can Just be ovenrfielming.

Unfortunately, labels a n d racism follow teen-agers Into the adult wor ld . It's a problem that wi l l not disappear over­n i g h t The yo imger generation has to be educated that it Isn't al l right to inal t t fun of somebody else because of their s k i n color, beliefs or the way they dress.

If Northvilie schools can continue their quest to teach students bas ic lessons i n humani ty — how to lespect others rrr, it 's not on ly providing its students with a safe educattonal envi ronment It's also contributing to making the world a lltUe better place to live In.

Congrats on Madrigal performance To the E d i t o r

Once again, December found me rush through life, checking tasks off niy list and pla11nlng how to complete others. With blinders on, I Was rush­ing past the days of this season With Intense drive but little enjoyment. Then the NoVI High School Choirs re­scued me from this Grinchy exis­tence. How, you say, did ihis hap­pen? My husband and 1 were IucIq enough to attend The Madrigal Dinner.

The moment We Walked through the front doors We were Whisked to another time and place. Every perfor­mer was In his role for the entire evening. The decorations were beaut­iful and the costumes Were so Well ex­ecuted as to 1nake each character special. The technical deliveiy al­lowed one to really get Into the even­ing. We enjoyed the diimer With its Very efflclent service. However, the Jewels of the evening Were the perfor­mances hy these talented and Well prepared NoVI students.

The number of students involved Was mind boggling i n itself. Each of you performed in several capacities:

- vocal performer, role player, actor, musician or server, You managed to do all this and still appear to he hav­ing fi ln. 1 assure you your audience and gurats sure Were, and pampered guests are What we felt like. The music set me in the mood I Wish to be In for the holidays, one of hope, de­light and anticipation. I Was espe­cially Impressed by the performances of the entire royal court His Royal Hlgliness, M a t t that lively Jester,

John, and the ever-present toWn crier, Keith. All of the performers added to this Very special. Very enjoy­able evening. Which brings me to "SHE WHO MUST B E R E C O G ­NIZED." Paula Jcjyner-Clinard. The exceptional quality of the perfor­mances, the smooth execution and the obvious hard Work behind this evening start and end With you.

Thank you all. My husband and I Intend to make this an a11nual event, a way to remember the Jcjy this sea­son should bring. Congi:atulaUons on a Job Well done.

To the Edi to r As you are aware, last week the

House passed a school finance bil l and forwarded it to the Senate where It is currently being debated. At this point We do not know what the final outcome Will be.

We do know that the State Will fund a good portion of our budget and that there may be a property tax with a fixed millage. We do not know how or When we wil l receive Slate funds or the amount of the millage. We have calculated numerous "what its" and have discovered that be­cause of our new dependency upon the State, the district's cash flow may be deficient This wil l require us to

borrcjw funds, and thereby 111ct1r an unwanted Interest cost

To ellml11ate or lessen this Interest cost i t naay be necessay for the dis­trict to levy all of Its millage In the summer and not levy a1^11ng In the winter. Unforti111ately, c11rrent law stipulates that a district must decide on Its summer levy by Dec. 3 l . There­fore, we are having a public hearing on Dec. 29, seeking community and parent input. Hopefully, by this date, the State Legislature will have final­ized its school finance package and we wi l l be able to make a correct and fair decision.

We invite all interested Novi Com-muility School residents to join the Board of Education at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 29 to discuss the issue.

To the E d i t o r While reading the Police News col­

umn of Dec. 161 Was sUuckby some­thing that was dlfllcult to believe. The stoiy was about two Individuals who Were anested by Novi Police, called, Incidentally, by \ ^ ^ d h a m Hotel per-soimel for drug law violations.

The amazing part of the story was that a 111ght stand and television stand Were both taken by the police as forfeiture Items because the tWo

arrested men had concealed drugs within them. In niy opLnlon, either the police made a mistake, orwe have a law on the books that could make most of us subject to t1rireasonablc conSscaUon of private property. Under this type of reasoning. If yoi l r car Was stolen and the thieves were apprehended in the car, and had duigs In the glove compartment you could kiss your car goodbye. A De­troit radio talk show host Iseglns his program With the statement "I love 1ny countiy but fear n y govememnt," a declaration that seems to gain meaning as time passes.

To the E d i t o r I read with some interest the arti­

cle "Schools flunked by educator." Then I read another article l n

which a school principal, no less, does not know the difference betWeen "Wrought" and "fraught."

Stil l another In which I find a grammatical error ("he save") and a typo ("isloate"); and In the same artl-cle a rather abysmal Ignorance of Scripture proverbs (ffby "Scripture" the Writer Is referring to the Bible).

Top this off With another glarl11g— i n huge type - typo, "leauges," and we have quite a vindication of the educator's thesis as manifested In your paper.

As Santa Claus. a.k.a. Joe l3ommarito, pulled his blackknee-high, rubbier Ixwts over hls red pants, he practiced a hearty "ho, ho, ho."

"The easiest part Is putting on Ihe makeup and the suit," Bom-rnarlto said from his "(Iresslng room." a vacant store located next to Hudson's In TWelVe Oaks Mal l . "Mentally. I haVe to become a little kid. I start sa3^g so111eho, ho. hos and I start to feel the excitement."

But once he's on his tlirone at center court. Waiting for the child­ren to make their Way up the red carpet stretched out before him, Bommarito is fully into his 1xjle as Santa.

' I 'm a k ld at heart ijiyself," the 6-foot-2 Santa confessed. "When 1 see the kids and their excitement, that's the best part of it al l ."

This is Bommarito's second year as a Santa Claus for the Novl ma l l . A full-time s tudent at

Schoolcraft College and a Hud­son's employee, the NorthVi11e re­sident said he InlflaUy toyed With idea of playing Santa because of hls niece and nephew.

"J Wanted to see their express­ion," he said, adding that his 11iece and nephew vlslted h i m twice at the mall last year and didn't realize it Was their uncle underneath the white beard.

But as he continued In his Santa position, Bommarito real­ized he enjoyed not only the reac­tion oflils relatives, but that of the other cJilldren, too.

"It makes me want to have niy own kids," he said.

Single and 26, Bommarito said he does make for an unusual Santa Claus.

"Usually, the guys are older and have their own Idds," he admitted. "They Uke to grab onto memories of their own kids and Santa Claus."

It takes Bommarito between 15 and 20 minutes to prepare himself physically for his role. B l u s h

Ho, ho, ho! Santa, a.k.a. Joe Bommarito, waves to shoppers from his throne at Twelve Oaks Mall in Novl.

"Mentally, I start the second I wake up," he said.

Bommarito Works four-hour shifts, as do most of the other San­tas employed by the mall.

"That way I don't get tired and I still have the energy to see them (the children) all," he said.

Not necessa111y performing the role of Santa for the money, Bom­

marito says he believes In the spirit of Santa Claus in spite of his adulthood.

There ' s nothing really that I don't like about this Job," he said. "I get a lot of cryl11g tiables, but that's to t>e expected."

The i1nage of ciylng babies

sparked a memory of one of Bom­marito's funniest Santa oqjeri-ences. A mother placed her baby on Santa's lap to get a picture. The baby was laughing and giggling, at least until the baby turned around

Left, Santa gets the low-down on 14~month-old Garrett Brady's Christmas list. Above, Santa Claus (Bommarito) prepares for his four-hour shift at Twelve Oaks l\Aali in Novi last Thursday. He, as well as sonne of the other Santas, work only four hours in order to provide full attention to all their "customers." The shorter stints help keep him "excited" about his role, Bommarito says. It takes about 20 minutes to physically prepare for his position as Santa while mental preparation begins as soon as Bommarito wakes up.

"I am sensitized to the needs of se­nior citizens on a fixed budget, and Fm tiylng to make a difference," Is the reason Laura Lorenzo gave for her be­ing a 1nember of the Novl Housing £ind Community Development Advis­ory Committee.

A description of the conimittee, ac­cording to a Ixwklet put out by the city, reads like this:

"The City of Novl annually receives funding from Oakland County called Communi ty Development B l o c k Grant Funds. The Housing and Com­munity Development Advlsoly Com­mittee Was formulated for the pur­pose of reviewing community deve-lopmentneeds of the City l n regard to these funds."

Of the five on the committee, ' threeof us are women, and there are two men plus Dan Davis," who ls chairperson and has a n office In Parks and Recreation, said Ix)renzo.

For the last two years the Commlt-

and $98,000 dollars to spend. A portion, Lorenzo said, "Is given

every year." The I \ ibl ic Services por­tion covers the van for senior citizen transportation and two-thirds of the salary of J a n McAlpin. the senior citi­zen center manager.

The rest is allocated to take care of the needs which senior citizens have reported they can't take care of such as "emergency rehabilitation . . . home repairs . . . things to make thefr homes livable."

"Basically all of these people," Lorenzo said, "live north of 1-96."

"People contact D a n Davis," she said, and then the com11iittee meets to discuss the needs, 'prioritizing them, '" I/irenzo said.

Usually the committee meets twice at the end of the year, and then a public hearing is held, followed by City Council approval. In December application Is made for the funds, and l n the following sprl i lg the funds are available.

'It makes you feel good," t)elng on

The red Sarlta Claus suits, as well as the beards and wigs, worn by Bommarito and the other Santas are provided by Twelve Oal<s Mall. The suit can get warm at times, but overall, isn't that uncomfortable, according to Bommarito. A vacant store next to Hu<l-son's serves as Santa's dressing room.

and saw Santa. "It was Just a look of total fear," he

said. "The baby started screaming." When babies and children do cry,

Bommarito tries to soothe thefr sobs with a gentle voice and rattU11g toys.

When a developmentally disabled child visits him, Bommarito said he likes to give special attenUon by going up to the child himself.

Bommarito said he hasn't had many problems with kids tugging at his i ieard .

"I think they're more Interested in Justvseelng Santa," be pald.,frrhe„ older kids. I,think.they know, but-

they don't spoil it for the yoimger ones."

"Each one (child), to a po in t is a challenge," said Harry Champe, a veteran Santa Who has manned the Santa throne for the last eight years at Twelve Oaks. "You can tell —- If they cUng to M o m you know you're usually in trouble."

Champe WorJcs for four hours Monday through Thursday.

"Seventy-five percent of it is for the fun," he said. "This year, the other part is for finances."

Champe explafrled that he uses . the i 9neK41c j^sikes playing Santa to .pay his W.al1ed Lake property taxes,

Believe it or no t portra)ring Santa Is actually relaxing for Champe. He said he feels satisfied liy sending 111s love out to the children.

The oldest "kid" to sit on Santa Bommarito's lap was a person of ab­out age 50 who asked for money.

"That Was my hardest customer," Bommarito laughed.

One lady even brought her dog to pose with Santa for a photograph.

Another advantage of playing Santa Is that you learn alx)ut a l l the popular ttjys. Topping the children's toy lists this year are B a m ^ the D l -

jjnosatir, Thornas.theTVa^ Teen--iage Mutant NlnJaTurtles for the boys^

and Barbie for the gfrls. "It's unbelievaWe how popular

Barbie is," Bommarito said. The most touching lists come from

children who don't ask for anything for themsehres but request presents for thefr siblings or other people, Bommarito said.

Both Santas agree the best part of the Job is seeing the children's q^es light up when ttley see the beardSd one,

m o r e t h a n a I i o b b y

By MICHELl HARRISON SaH Wntef

When the leaves outside are Just beginning to tumcrlrnson. Betty Ale­xander Is already p lann ing for Christmas.

"1 get so cxdled I start In October," the NoVl resident said.

It takes her awhile to bring out her Christinas 'goodies* — a collection of Hudson Santa Bears. Various other Chr i s tmas decorations and the crefne de la creme, a 242-plecc mini­ature Dickens' Village. Complete with 47 lights and 80 accessory pieces {Ures. lamp posts and Villagers), the collectible village is from Dept. 56. a company located in Minnesota.

"The last few years pieces have be­come highly collectible." said Sonja Lane, a Northvllie resident Who also sets up the Chrlstnlas village scene during the holidays. Tbiey retire cer­tain pieces every year, making them more valuable."

The ceramic replicas of English buildings hiclude several collections such as Cbfislmas in the City, Alpine, A Christmas Carol, OliverTwisU Utile Town of Bethlehem and New Eng­land. Both Alexander and Lane accu­mulate pieces of the Dickens' Village collection.

Lane has 24 of the buildings. Which she collects With her daughter Sharon. Well, at least unti l next year. Her daughter has recently become engaged and Will be taking her collec­tion With her when she marrlei .

This year, the Lanes added a trai.: to their village scene. It took them ab­out 10 hours to complete the display.

The hobby has become so popular that a collector has to get her name on a list to receive any of tile lljrlited editions, which can cost up to S1(X) each. Most of the olher houses cost $35 to $50 a piece.

Lane and her daughter have been collecting the village pieces for about three years. Although Lane had pre­viously collected lighted miniature houses when discounted at depart­ment stores. It Was her daughter who got her Interested In the collectible Dept. 56 series. Sharon got Inter­ested In Dept. 56 while employed during the Christmas season at Heslops.

"It gets In your blood." SonJa Lane said. "It's addicting. You get started and you can't quit. You think you've got enough (buildings) and some­thing new comes out."

l ^ e said her display. Which she built In front of her living room win­dow, keeps getting bigger and bigger each year.

"After last year people thought I Would Just move the furniture right out of the living room." she laughed.

She constructed inountalns out of boxes covered with Si>a111sh moss and used aquarium gravel for the rocks lining the railroad tracks and stream. She Is considering con­structing a real stream for next year's display.

"This Is my favorite holiday." she said. "I get a little carried away."

Alexander's display Is mounted on a 3- by 5!/. -foot table, built by her husband Dick. In the upstairs living room of her condominium. She started collecting the pieces about nine years ago.

Betty Alexander has over 200 pieces In her Dept. 56 Dickens' village collection.

"I saw them In a store and 1 bought the first part of A Christmas Carol' she said,

Alexander said she is lucky be­cause Gretchen, Paul and Evelyn of Margie's Halh11ark at 14 Mlle and

Haggerty alert her to all the new pieces.

"They got one mountain in this year and it was mine," she said.

Making her village complete are a blue bulb In a light fbcture above the

scene, cast inga moon-like hue, and a cassette tape of village sounds. She purchased the tape while In Florida.

Besides working on her village, Alexander keeps busy during the ho­liday season by baking. She made

five batches of toffee and "lots of cookies." The toffee was In tins and ready to give away.

"I don't eat it because it's fatten­ing," she laughed.

Sonja Lane of Northville, left, started collecting her Dept. 56 village about three years ago with her daughter Sharon. Next year she would like to construct a real stream to make the village that more realistic. The carousel, above right, is part of Alexander's collection.

"Gnimpy Old Men." a Warner iBros.' release, is a roUlcking, roman-itic comedy that reuIlites one of the .great screen duos of all time. J Oscar-Winners Jack Ijemmon and ^Walter Matthau once again team up iln the stoiy of a lifetime rivalry that .'only two nercely IndivldualisUc cur--mudgeons could sustain — and the

."'jolt their relationship undergoes When a lovely, romantic and available •widow, played by Ann-Margret. •moves In across tile street. • Filmed on location in Mlimesota. 'Grumpy Old Men" examines the decades-old love-hate relationship between the two nelghtiors. and the

-ways their lives are thrown into total !:upheaval when a lovely, free-spirited •widow moves In across the street

/ f rom them

In Mirmesota. it Is said that there i are three seasons — June, July and IlWlnter. Atid'Toie^'dbhri"Gli^tifisoh ; ( L e m m o n ) a n d Max G o l d m a n •:{Matthau), next-door neighbors in ;;the picture-perfect town of Wabasha, ;;Mlnnesota. it has been one long -:wlnter of their discontent with each .';other - - 56 years to be exact. ;; John's and Max's greatest plea--;sure consists of thii^king up new ,';ways to embarass, ridicule or am-• :bush each other in the course of their •weryday campaign of revenge and ; ;retrlbutlon.

About what? Who knows? Max :and J o h n might recall the shadowy ;begl11nlng of this lifetime love-hate ;relatlonsl11p, but they're not telling. .•They greet each other every morning.

but their greeting usually consists of profanity mixed with insulting one-upsmanshlp.

They're ice-nshlng buddies, to be sure — but they mock each other's catch and hurl Invective and rotting fish when they share a "friendly" chat about their hobby.

Not even John's daughter Melalue (Daryl Hannah) or Max's son Jacob (Kevin Pollak) knows what started their fathers' feud. But with John and Max Wifeless and retired, and the indignities of the "golden years" en­croaching, hating each other's guts has become their greatest pleasure In life.

That changes, as you might ex­pect, when a radiant, free-splrlted and enchaiiUngly eccentric college teacher Ariel TYuax (Arln-Margret) moves In right across the street from them.

The lovely .Ariel gives both grumpy old men new leases on life, as she in­nocently escalates their mutual loathing to new heights of depths with each furiouslyjockeylng for first position in her affections.

The latest phase of the Wabasha War has begun, with John and Max's odd enduring relationship hanging precariously in the balance.

"Grumpy Old Men" is directed by Donald Petrie, whose "Mystic Pizza" Impressed audiences and critics with its humor and humanity.

In addition to Lemmon, Matthau and Ann-Margret, the cast includes Ossle Davis, Burgess Meredith and Buck Henry.

The screenplay for "Grumpy Old Men" was written Ijy Mark Steven Johnson. Not only would his very first script be made into a major fea­ture film, it would be made starring two Immortal actors he'd had In mind when he wrote It.

"It's unbelievable that this Is actu­ally happening." said Johnson, who completed his first draft of "Grumpy Old Men" three years ago at the age of 25 while working a day shift as a sec-retaiy at Orion lectures,

" 'Grumpy Old Men' is a very per­sonal project for me." said the young screenwriter. "It's a valentine to my home stale of Minnesota, and the character of John Gustafson is based on my own grandfather."

Persorral manager/producer Ri­chard C. Berman was persuaded by a relative to look at Johiison's screenp­lay despite the fact that he admits to beingwaiy of such requests. "But on the first reading I knew that Mark was a Very talented writer and that this script would make a terrillc mo-Vle," he said.

The script also captured the Imagi­nation of J o h n Davis, one of film and television's most dynamlcyoung pro­ducers. "It had heart, it had hirmor and it had a real edge," he observed.

The next step was to find a suitable director to shepherd the material into full screen life. Davis said he had al­ways wanted to work with Donald Petrie. "Of all the scripts I sent him.

"Grumpy Old Men' was the one he wanted to do," he noted.

What everyone hoped — but no one dared expect — was for Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau to agree to play J o h n and Max, roles de­signed for their very unique skills and personallUes.

Lemmon and Matthau decided that the script was enticing enough for a fifth teaming. In addition to the five films they have made together, Lemmon directed Mattahu to an Oscar-nonrinated performajice In "Kotch" and the two shared the mar­quee, but had no scenes together, in Oliver Stone's "JFK."

"Lemmon and Matthau are hioth great stars in their own right." said producer Davis. "Together they have a symbiotic on-screen relationship that is nothing short of miraculous."

Selected for the role of .Ariel TVuax was Ann-Margret, who has graced the screen for 30 years in roles Which have increasingly demonstrated her extraordinary range.

Daryl Halmah was thought to be the perfect choice of Melanle Gustaf­son. "She has a warmth, vulnerabil­ity and tieauty that's inreslstlble." said Petrie. "Daryl is the girl next door . . . if the gfrl next door is someone you want to spend the rest of your life with."

Kevin Pollak was everyone's favo­rite for the role of Jacob Goldman.

The coach said the Wildcats are making steady progress.

"I like what I see," said Huss. Clarkston ended up as the

county champion. Kensington Valley Conference rival South Lyon Was third overall.

i s h e d s i x t h o v e r a l l . T h e 103-pounder won all three of his matches Friday then went 1 -3 Sa­turday. His lone win of the finals came on a pin of Rochester's Rich Phillips In 22 seconds.

'Lemiy's a real solid 103," said Huss. There aren't too many kids stronger."

Taka Watai1abe placed eighth in the county at 130 pounds. He went 2- 1 Friday then reeled of two straight pins to start Saturday. He fell in the third round to Jalnie BarUey of Goodrich High.

"That was one t o u ^ weight class." said Huss.

At 140 pounds. Craig Borashko won his first match of the champ­ionship rounds. He beat Clarks-ton's Jeremy Laflerty by a 9-2 de­cision. Borashko was ellnlinated in the next round hy Jason Aiello of Waterford Kettering.

James Clni met a similar fate at 140 pounds. He pirmed Andre Burton in 4:40 to start Saturday

off. C1111 was then dropped from the tournament by Blake Williams of Troy.

"He made a couple of mistakes that really cost him." said Huss.

Mark McBride was Novi's high­est finisher. The 160-pounderwas fourth overall.

The Junior was perfect Friday with a 3-0 record. McBride then lost his flJ-st match Saturday but came back to win three straight. He lost to J o s h Salmon of Berkley on a penalty point in the battle for third place.

"He wrestled very tough." Huss said of McBride.

Ben Weirdt made It Saturday with three straight wins In qualify­ing rounds. He fell toJason Brown of South Lyon 12-3 and then 4-3 to Rochester's Rick Snyder to be eliminated.

"Losing to Jason Brown took a lot out of him." said Huss. "He re­ally wanted to win that one. But 1 think he'll have more than one op-

A thing of beauty lt wasn't. B u t the Wlldcat basketball

team was able to overcome its own poor shooting and pesky Lakeland FHday night 52-49 at home. J o l m Wroe sa11k three c lu tch free tllrows in the final seconds to pre­serve Novi's third straight win.

"I think it was the best thing that could have happened to the kids," said Wildcat coach Pat Schluter. "We needed a game like that."

Novi took easy wins over Walled Lake Western and SouUi Lyon to open the season. The coach said playing a tight game with the E a ­gles will pay off down the line.

T h e rest of the season," said Schluter, "all of our games wfil be close."

It was plenty close ln the late stages of Friday night's game.

Tinalllng 42-36 with Just under six minutes to go, Wroe began Novl's come back. T h e Junior guard hit one of two free throws to cut the margin to five.

The Wildcats then went on an 11-0 run to take charge of the contest.

Chad Dlcken scored on a jump shot and then followed with an e a ^ fast break score to make it 42-41. At the 4:26 mark. Roclty Dunlap gave Novi the lead for good after he rebounded a Shawn Kelfy miss and put it up and In. He then added three from the charity stripe to put his team up 48-42.

Lakeland's Dave Wilklns flnaUy scored with 1:05 left to break the E a s e s ' drought. The vlstors then cut Novl's lead to 48-46 on a pair of free throws from Tom Hartley.

Forced to foul, the Eagles picked on the wrong Wildcat. Wroe sank three of four to make it 51-46.

J a s o n VanBuren dri l led a tliree-pointer with seven seconds left to make it 51-49. but Lakeland cotild come no closer. Scliluter praised the vlstors" effort.

The coach added tllat lils team didn't take the Eagles seriously enough.

"I think the kids took diem too fiightty)," Schluter said. "I thought it was a great game for a learning experience."

Ehlnlap lead Novi wlth 13 points and KeUy added 10. Va11Buren led Lakeland with 11.

If nothing else, the Wildcats might have learned that it's t o u ^ to win wlth cold shooting.

The Wildcat volleyball team dug a hole for Itself Thursday night against BaseUne rival Northvilie and couldn't climb o u t

Novi High started slowly then came on strong but still fell in two games to the Mustangs on the road. Northvilie won the best two out of three match 15-4, 15-13.

"We're getting better each and evely game," sald Wlldcat coach Julie Flsette. "But it seems to take them awhile to get into it. We're al­ways playing fixim behind."

The coach came away im­pressed with Northvilie.

"They didn't let anything hit the floor," said Ftsette. "They were real scrappy.

Mustang coach Laura Murray agreed with that assessment.

"I don't think we had one point against us because of a mental er­ror," she commented. "That's a lot better than we ever played last year."

Novi Is now off for Christmas break. The season resumes J a n . 6 at home agafrist South Lyon.

In the Wildcats match with Northvilie, quickness played a key role. The Mustangs, in fact, were noticeably faster at getting to the ball than Novi.

That fact was illustrated in Lhe opening game.

After falling behind 3-1, North­vilie tied the game behind the serv­ing of senior Kate Woodrich. The Mustangs then reeled off 10 straight points on a combination of aces, blocks and Novi miscues.

Junior Angle Groves served on all 10 of the points and collected an ace during the run. With the game sllppfrig away at 11-3, Novi coach Jul ie Flsette called timeout.

The break seemed to calm the Wildcats, but to no avail. M e r Novl's Nicole Borashko scored a point on her serve, the Mustailgs closed out. Krista Howe got the wlrmer as she drilled a shot in the far back left comer.

Game two wasn't nearly so easy for the Mustangs.

Northvilie Ju11i)ed to a 4-1 lead as Groves ran off three straight points on her serve. But then the Wildcats fought back.

Christine Edwards came on to

serve for Novi and smashed an ace by Northvilie to cut the lead to two. A Kristin Kenr1y block got another point and Edwards served u p another ace to tie the score.

The Wildcats fell behind again by an 8-4 count and again rallied. Ursu la Place served for four straight points to knot the match.

The game went right down to the wire.

Tied at 13, Angle Snyder served an ace for N o r t h ^ e . .After several side outs, Arin Homberger closed the game and match for the Mustangs.

Edwards Was one of the Wild­cats biggest bright spots in game two. The Ju111or served for seven points, including two aces.

Flsette said of her team's overall play. "You can't score points When you're missing serves." FARMINGTON HILLS HARRISON def. NOVI, 15-2, 6-15, 15-6

According to Flsette, friconsis-tency cost her team on Dec. 15. She said her team passed well, played solid ln both firont rows and served well — Just not In the same game.

"We're havl11g problems finding consistency," the coach said.

After failing ln game one, Novl domlnatcd game two.

The Wldcats fell behfr1d 4-2, but then came on strong. Edwards served for nine straight points to put her team u p 11 -4. J u n k o Mat-sunaga dosed the game out wlth points 12 through 15.

H i g h l a n d e r s c o u l d b e c r e a m o f K V C c r o p

' Regarded by many as the (Inesi wrestling league In tile Islale, the Kensington Valley Conference boasts solid ttearns from lop lo bottom. • While Novl High can be counted as one of those solid ^squads, the wadcals face an uphill battle In the league 'race. South Lyon and Howell are picked by some as state championship contenders and will likely head the ICVC 'pack.

This week, the Noui News previews Howell and Hart-land. This two-part preview series will conclude next week with a look at Sotlth Lyon. Milford, Brighton and LakeLuld.

HOWELL They may not have b « a l e n Temperance Bedford, but

Coach Dan Mlnock and his Howell High Wrestlers hope they're on the same road to success as the always-powerful Kicking Mules.

The Highlanders opened the 1993-94 season last Sa-lilrday with a hofne round-robin tournament featuring a handful of tile best varsity teams in the state, Bedford, which has won a record nine state wrestling crowns, pre­vailed In the five-team event with a 4 0 record. Howell, meanwhile, tied E^ton Rapids and Portage Central for second place as each had 2-2 records. Goofirich finished fifth.

Howell started the tourric^ very well with back-lo-back wins over Goodrich (38-27) — a top Class C team — and Portage Central (30-28) — a strong Class A squad. In the third round, then, the Highlanders suffered their first dual defeat when they fell to 1993 Class B champ Eaton Rapids. 41-25.

Tlie Hlghlarldcrs' match of the day then came two rounds later when they squared off with the Kicking Miiles. Though Howell wound up losing, 34-24. the home team was right In the match until the Very end.

"We didn't win. but we were right there with them all the way," Minock said. T h a t match probably could have went either way. I tell you what, this was a huge boost of confidence for our team. To tie able to put up a strong fight with an excellent team like Bedford really says something. This is a good measuring stick about how good our team Is and I think we're pretty doggone good."

The Highlanders, ranked No. 3 In the pre-season coacliing poll, emerged from the tournament with four undefeated wrestlers.

Brad Barron, at 152 pounds, was one of the unbeatens and nearly came away with the tournament F*in Award. Barron racked up three flrst-period pins and one more

midway through the second period. His total mat time was five minutes, 18 seconds, only one second more than Eaton Rapids' 189-pounder.

Howell's other 4-0 finishers were Rob Wendel (119 pounds). Bob McKerlney (171) and heavyweight Joe Adam. One of Wendel's bigger Wins was over Bedford's Jason Buchanan, a state-placer last season. McKenney also beat an Eaton Rapids state-qualifier, while Adam won via three pins and a 19-11 decision.

The Hlglilanders who posted 2-2 records were Craig Trierweiler (103), Pat Esper (125) and Don LeCheveller (2-2). Howell's 189-pounder, Kevin Matie, did not compete.

Minock said that hosting the meet with such a loaded field is something that he pla11s to keep on doing.

"Bedford wrestles in big meets like this all the Ume," Minock said. "That's what helps to make them so good. We want to keep doing the same. WeVe got a lot of other big meets on our schedule this year, so hopefully they'll help us prepare for ol1r ultimate goal: to get back to Battle Creek (the site of the state meet)."

The Highlanders have visited the Class A state team championships each of the last two years. Two seasons ago, they advanced all the Way to the semifinals.

Howell is coming oflT a season ln which it Won the Ve1y competitive Kensington Valley Conference title. The team Ued Brighton and South Lyon with 5- 1 dual records tie-fore coming out on top at the league meet. In this year's pre-season rankings, the Uons were ranked No. 2 in Class A.

"South Lyon's probably the favorite to Win the league," Minock said, "but 1 Wouldn't count out us or (Brighton)."

Though the 1993-94 Highlanders are Without state champion Jason Steinacker — Who has graduated — along with a few other state qualifiers, they return plenty of talent this season.

Seniors Matt Schroeder. Bob McKenney and Barron and Jijniors Matie. Wendel and Adam are among the team's more domlrlant athletes.

Schroeder (135) lost to some liigh-powered foes last weekend, but he returlis afler posting a 27; 13 record as a 125-pounder and afier qualifying for the state finals. He was also last year's KVC champion and iiever Wrestled past the first round at the league flrlals.

McKenney — 40-8 a year ago — attended the indivi­dual state finals two years ago and last year earned the K V C 160-p>ound title. McKeruiey came up short of qual­ifying for the 1993 state meet as he Was in an extremely loaded regional. In fact, three ofthe four 160-pound state

qualifiers from his region Went on to finish 1-2-3 at the state meet.

In addition to Schroeder, Matie is Howell's other re­turning state qualifier. As a heavyweight and oilfy a so­phomore last season, Matie finished as league runner-up and compiled a 4 1 - 1 1 record. He is moving to 1 89 pounds this season and should be in store for another terrific year.

As for Barron and Wendel, both are returning KVC runners-up. Barron (29-9 last year) moves up one divi­sion to 152 pounds, while Wendel (30-18) Jumps from 112 to 119. Wendel won the K V C 103-pound tide as a freshman.

In addition to the above grapplers, heavyweight Adam is another top-notch athlete. At 255 pounds, he's a true heavyweight, but what makes Adam so strong is he moves and wrestles like a 189-pounder. Adam didn't compete for Howell last season.

Others Who Minock figures will help boost the team this season incl ude I^heveLer , Esper, Trierweiler, Steve Solar (125). Kurt Grover (130) and Adam Arnold (145), anvong others.

HARTLAND Tlie roster numbers are down, but the 1993-94 Hart-

land High wrestling team isn't without some top veteran athletes as well as a crew of talented underclassmen. I -oof ofthat was demonstrated last Saturday, when the Eagles successfully defended their Marine Cify Invita­tional Utle.

The Eagles enter the new winter campaign after having ended last year strongfy with a fourth-place showing at the Kensington Valley Conference finals, They also had one league champion and four runners-up, and three Class A state qualifiers.

The leader of that team. 145-pound Brian Morrison, has since graduated afier wi11nlng the KVC Utle and plac­ing fifth at the state finals. .Another state qualifier, 160-pound Rob Dunn, has also graduated.

While those twovalued athletes have departed, the Ea­gles aren't surrendering the upcoming campaign, espe­cially with siich retumiiig talents as co-captains Bran­don Wehner. Coiy Kuzinski ai1d Jason Hultberg and J a ­son Pogrn1ich back in the lineup.

Wehner, Hartland's lone senior who has Jumped from 119 to 125 pounds, had an outstanding Junior year via pins. which saw him finish second in the league and district Hartland's runners-up were heavyweight Chamber-and then qualify for the state finals. In U1e last two years, lain and Hultbeig. Bennett, meanwhile, finished third Wehner has been an All-Uvingston County selecUon and and Hagopian placed fourtt

a K V C runner-up. He capped last season with a 32-8 record.

Kuzi11ski, now 152 pounds, and Pogrmich (103), were also league runners-up last Winter. Pogrmich also be­came the first Eagle freshman to ever win a district championship. Hultberg, meanwhile, may not have gained any league or post-season accolades but he still finished last season with an impressive 18-10 record, considering his tough 11 2-pound diVlsion. He'll be at 119 this year.

After Kuzinski and Hultberg. returning heavyweight Jason Chamberlain ls the only other Junior on the team. The rest of the starting l ineup is composed of underclassmen.

Hartland's sophomore first-line WresUers are Eron Worley (112). Ryan Bennett (145), Drew Gyorkos (160), Brian Hagopian (171) and Branden Harrison (189). Of those, BenneU fought at 135 last season while Gyorkos saw off-ar.d-on Varsity acUon at 152. As for this year's freshmen grapplers, John Graybeal fills the 130-pound slot and BreU Kuzi11skl takes over at 140.

Hartiand coach and former E^agleTodd Cheney, now in his second year of coachilig the team, has only 22 ath­letes to Work W1U1 this Winter, Which means any injuries could prove to be costfy.

Despite injury, though, Cheney said he's pleased with the kids he has.

"AU the freshmen we have this year neVer lost a match in middle school," Cheney said. Tha t ' s encouraging, I guess you could say we're young, bu t We'Ve also got some pretty good experience. I think We'll be able to surprise some people."

The Eagles even surprised themselves at the Marine City touniament, where they racked up 182 points to fin­ish atop the 12-team field. Rosevllle (133 points) took sec­ond and Rfyal Oak Klmball (106.5) -— a 1993 state team qualifier — finished thfrd.

"We 11ad the meet clinched after the semifinals," Che­ney said. "It Was unbelievable. I never thought we Would do as well as last year, but we did even better."

Like last year's tournament, Hartiand was again led by fiVe individual champions. Wehner earned two pins and a 13-3 decision, Coly Kuzinski pi11ned eveiyone at 160 pounds, Worley had three pins, I'ogrmlch held on for a 7-6 Win in the finals and Brett Kuzinski tallied three wins

when It comes to fitness and exeixise, how much ls too much?I've asked my­self thls question many times, espe­cially after finishing a marathon run. Tbo sore to walk down the stairs, I think. "Can this be heal thy? What does this pos­sibly have to do with health and fitness? Is

and Isn't obsession this an obsession, unhealthy?"

I have given this some thought and have come up with my own conclusion which may only be an excuse, so take It with a grain of salt. For me, too little exercise can be more stressful than too much.

After having heart suigeiy last year and at­tempting to enyoy life's activities In moderation, I find that moderation Is stressful. Moderation gives me a middle-of-the-road existence, and the feeling that the real excitement of life Is passing me by. The thought of missing out on sometlSng Is stresshll.

H e a l t h t i p s

Earlier I used the word obsession. Amore ap­propriate word might be passion. When life Is approached with passion, we encounter feel­ings not found In moderation. For example, when I finish a marathon, the sense of accom-pllsJiment Is overwhelming. Taking oneself to the limit, living on the edge and completing a task that seems Insurnloimtable gives an In­tense feeling of personal fulfillment. I can not Imagine finding these feelings In moderation.

Am 1 concluding that all things In life should be approached with this passion, taking every exi>erlence to the limit? Maybe.

I believe the answer has to do with risk and the amount of risk you are personally comfort­able with. Training for amarathon and focusing towanl that one big day, hoping to experience the high that comes wlUl such a great feeling of accomplishment does not come without risk.

You risk the stress you will experience If you do not reach the finish line. For months you have focused your life on that one moment of

glory and personal triumph. Is this stress grea­ter than the stress caused by deciding not to at­tempt such tilings? I believe the answer Is per­sonal We must each decide the level of risk we are comfortable with and live our lives according.

Without risk comes boredom and with bore­dom comes a stress that may be the worse stess Of all. Both mental and physclal health are es­sential to maintain quality of life. Stress manif­ests Itself both mentally and physically.

lhe slogan I saw on the backofa T-shirt of an Ironnlan competitor read, "Get obsessed, stay obsessed." Might these be words to live by? As 1 have said, I telieve the answer Is a personal one.

If you're considering ruiming a marathon as part of your New Year's resolution, I have pack­ets of training information along with a sche­dule. For a free copy, call Running Fit at 347-4949 and leave your name and address. We will send it out.

By S C O T T DANIEL Sports Ecfitof

When you're talklng Mustang ba-sketiaall. Just hoW tall Is tall?

The emergence of 6-foot-11 J o s h Wlllla111s on this year's squad got the-NortbvUle Record Wondering If the se­nior m l ^ t be the biggest player in

.'school hlstoiy. And If he Isn't, who is? Accord ing to Stan Johns ton ,

coach ofthe Mustangs from 1953-60, the Black and Orange has seen l U fair share of Vertically enhanced play­ers, One of the best remembered big men Is Jeff Goodrich.

A 6-foot-10 long drink of Water, he played for Northville High from 1956-59. In an e1Ti Where anyone muchoVer6-footWasconsidered tall, Cioodrich Was Indeed a rare bird.

"When you had somebody that Was 6-5 o r 6-6 you had a big guy," Johnston added.

Perhaps In all of the school's his-to1y, 6-foot-6 Cap Pethers la the most talented big man. Pethers. In fact, was a teammate of Goodrich's, Johnston recalled.

"He Was an outstanding player." he said. "He coiJd Jump, he could shoot theji1mp shot and rebound. He could do afciout anything on the court."

"He Was a pu1t; shooter," said Dave Longridge. who coached NorthVllle from 1961-68. "He Was Just good."

Pethers. Goodrich and 6-foot-4 Bill Yahney led Northville lo the quar­terfinals of the state tournament one year. Johnston's boys met up with one of Lofton G1Teen's great RlVer Rouge squads and lost.

"We Were pretty good size," said J o h n s t o n , "and Won a lot of ballgames."

Longridge said he coached a few tall players himself. He mentioned Da11ny BiDwn. a 6-6 player from the early 196Os, as his best big man.

NorthVaie High had "decent-sized" teams throughout the '60s, Lon­gridge commented. He said 6-foot players or a little taller were common to his l ineup.

A numh>er of other Wildcats wrestled well at Oakland County but failed to place.

At 135 pounds, Chris Young Went 2-2 on the tournament Huss said thejimior wrestler regained his focus an(f should continue to improve the rest of the season.

FYeshman J . J . Balagna got his first varsity win at 112 pounds. Heavyweight E r i c Nonnan and 152-pound Toiqr Place Went 1-2 on the toumamenL

Novl voided at 125 and 171 pounds. Garrett Barrons was ill and Matt Buck vifas out with a sternum ihjuiy.

The Wildcats were scheduled to wrestle at the Trenton Tournament yesterday. Novl is now oIT until Jan . 6.

Both teams were sluggish offen­sively ln the first quarter.

Greg Plerman swished a three-pointer from the right wing less than

; minute Into the game. Jason Fannon hit another trey with 4:12 to put Novi

; up 6-2. The Wildcats led 10-6 by the ; end of the perold, but missed Burner-^ous opportunltes to open a l a 1 ^ jlead.

Lakeland tied the game at 12 mld-,'way through the second. A pair of : Kelly free thixiws with 49 seconds left gave Novl a 22-20 lead at halftime.

The teams traded baskets in the third period unti l the final two mi­nutes, "niree different E a ^ c s scored in the last seconds of the quarter to

'take a 36-31 lead Into the fourth. ' After playing In the annual Novl-INorthvlUe Chr is tmas Basketball Tournament earlier this week the I'Cats are off unti l after the fl13t of the year. The season resumes Jan . 4 on the road with Walled Lake Central.

"Most of the schools we played were about the same way,' Longridge added. "A big man Was 6-4 In those days"

The caliber of big men wasn't q11ite as good 30 years ago, he said.

"In the old da3rs kids were not as shaip with their feet,' Longridge ex­plained. "You see 1norc big tads (now) that are agUe."

Williams Is a prime example. Al ­though he has g1T>wn steadily in his years as a Mustang, 6xm 6-foot-9

last year to 6-11 this season, the se-

nior has maintained his skills. "He's a talented kid," said current

Mustang skipper L a n y Taykjr. "He can run the floor, he's a good shot

blocker and reboilnds very well." Willlanls can dominate at times. In

a recent game against Dearborn E d -sel Ford, he scored 13 points grabbed nine rebounds and blocked seven shots.

"There are things you can't teach," Taylor said, "height and quickness."

This year's squad may be the big­gest in Northville histoly.

Besides Williams, the Mustangs front line features 6-foot-7 John Buser and 6-6 Kieran Wlllla11ls. .Also seeing plenty of playing time are for­wards 6-5 George Lemmon and 6-foot-4 Marc C h ^ s o n .

"Fd say our starters average about 6-5," Taylor commented.

Most college programs would like to have as many big men as Northville has this year. But as tall as the Mus­tangs are, extraordIna1y height is be-comi11g more common-place.

WLAA Western Division rivals Far­

mlngton Hil ls Harr ison, LiVonla Churchill and Livonia FVanklin each txiast one or more players over 6-foot-5, In the Lakes Division, West-land John Glenn features 6-11 Guy Rucker and 6-foot-5 Tony Golns while Salem's 6-6 James Head is a Unlversty of Iowa slgnee.

"I don't know what makes them bigger than they used to be," said Jo1111ston.

As far as big men being more ta­lented, the coach said players didn't concentrate as much on ba-

skethiall. Goodrich and Pethers both played football for Northvllle High as weU as basketball.

"I think they're specializing more now," said Johnston. "Kids today. If they are outstanding in one sport they sUck with It."

"l.oW Interest rates and relatively stable prices are helping builders sell their neW homes despite slow Job growth and considerable con­sumer caution." said David Stew­art. Lomas .senior vice president.

To ta l U . S . home-bui lding per­mits th rough September of this year Were 6.6 percent more than the same period last year, Stewart said. The surge in building actlVltj' was reflected in every region of the countiy.

Only the state of California con­t i n u e d s l u g g i s h — the sloWest home-bu i ld ing year since 1982. H o m e - b u i l d i n g permi ts in that state are off nearly 12 percent from a year ago.

F l o r i d a , Texas and the Rocky M o u n t a i n states are leading the bu i ld ing surge. .Among the most actlVe cities are Chicago, WasJiing-ton D . C . . Las Vegas, DenVer and Phoenix.

H o m e - b u i l d i n g i n L a s Vegas exper ienced the most dramat ic increase during the third quarter

of this year The city's 5,000-plus single-family home bui ld ing per­mits during the quarter represent­ed a 61 percent Jump f rom the same quarter last year. So far this year. Las Vegas home bui lding is 26 p e r c e n t a h e a d of l a s t year. However, construction of rnulufam-l ly b u i l d i n g s in this m a r k e t is down.

"Las Vegas is our No. 1 market for home building activity," SteW-ard said. T h e city auOiorized 17.6 neW dwellings per 1,000 residents during the past four quarters."

F l o r i d a is the m o s t ac t ive ly growing state in new home per­m i t s , re f lec t ing a 2 0 p e r c e n t increase during the third quarter compared With a year ago.

"Last year the southern portions of F l o r i d a Were s t i l l s o r t i n g through the rubble of Hurr icane Andrew," Stewart said. "Consider­ing the current year through the t h £ - d quarter, Florida's permits are up by nearly 20 percent."

The construction of multifamily b u i l d i n g s — condos a n d apart­ments—throughout the coimtiy is picking up, according to the Lomas report. T h i s segment of bui ld ing activity is u p by 4 percent over last year.

You can't see it, you can't hear it, but your pet wiU know it's there.

It's an electronic pet-contal11ment system that uses a warning soimd—followed by a mUd shock—to keep pets within the boimdarles of thefr yards.

Sound cruel? Not according to

vetertaarlan Dr. Christine Lee of Brighton Ail lmal Hospital, who said she is "pretty posi­tive" about tile con­tainment systems.

Like any fence, the containment systems allow dogs more freedom than being tied to a tree and protect the a111malsfrom

t'snlui to be trained and stay in the yard than to get hit by a car," Lee said, "and, u11fortunately, we see a lot ofa1at."

The only system-related Injuries she has eVer treated haVe been neck-rub spots from the collars.

The systems also haVe the endorsement of the Humane Society of LIVlngston Coimty.

President Christine McKuslck belleVes owners too often let thefr dogs Wander. She sees the results at the Humane Soci­ety: a1ilmals that haVe been caught In traps; aillmals shot when they wandered into a neighbor's yard; and animals hit by cars.

"The (pet-contal11ment) systems are for more humane to the a111mal," McKuslck said, addi11g that the shock is not sfrong, "just e n o u ^ to get the animal's atten­tion."

Here's how the systems work: A radio signal is sent by transmittor

through a cable i11stalled In tile ground around the perimeter of the yard. The pet

wears a collar with a receiVeL As the dog or cat approaches the boundaiy, a pulsing beep or hummi11g tone warns the a11imal. If the pet continues across the line, a shock follows.

Laura Brooks, owner of the Invisible Fencing dealership in Brighton, said she has had three of her own dogs on the sys­tem for 111ne years.

"It's just like a fence is there," Brooks said, adding that her home Is on a busy stteet and ti1at she keeps the dogs out all day during the summer

Brooks said two main adVantages of electronic fencing Vs. regular fencing Is that If you move, you can take it with you and that the Initial cost is roughly one tllfrd the cost of a reg11Iar fence.

Installation isn't difficult, eitiier—if owners want to do It themselves. .And it o1ily takes 7-10 days before a dog is con-dltioned and able to run free.

Brooks also seUs an Indoor system for people who want to keep pets from enter­ing rooms or designated areas of the

house.

I What about the shock?

I ll's harmless. Brooks said, much like a staOc-electrlc

I shock people receive tills time of year

" When they Walk across the carpet

and touch ^ metal doorknob. "It's the condition­

ing that makes the system Work," Brooks said.

Owners, again, have the choice of do-it-yourself tral1111ig or having Brooks and her staff train the pet.

"We've never had a dog We couldn't con­dition." Brooks said.

"We have had owners We couldn't condition."

Brooks said that wheti1er or not she installs the system, she always likes to meet the dog before maldng a sale, because there are some vicious dogs

I pr dogs With a histo-' " ryorb i t i i i gU ia tshe

Won't put on a sys­tem.

But. for all other animals—from Yorkles to Great Danes to cats to Pot-Bellied Pigs—the system Works. Brooks said.

Invisible Fencing is a brand name. The co1poration offers dealerships, like Brooks's, around the World.

But much like the trademark Kleenex—Which people use generically to refer to tissue—people use the name Invisible Fencing to refer to pet-contain­ment systems. Brook said.

Probably because I11vlslble Fencing Was first in tiie marketplace, protected by patent When the patent expfred several years ago, other products began appear­ing on the shelVes. like Dog Watch, or Radio Fence, manutactured by Radio Sys­tems Corp. in Knoxvllle, Tenn.

Prices vaiy based on the amount of extras included in a kit. .Area discount stores cany a variety of brand-name kits.

I start my Christmas deco­rating by placing a big wreath (balsam flr because it does not shed) on the front door.

T h e wreath dates b a c k to ancient Greece, where it was worn by brides as a ^ b o l of good luck and happfrless. The cfrcular shape, having neither beglnnfrlg nor end, symbolizes eternity.

The pine cones on a wreath were u s e d by the g u a r d i a n spirits of Babylon for the dafly ritual of sprinkling the tree of l i fe , to keep d e m o n s f r o m a t t a c k i n g . T h e s c e n t of the pine wreath was thought to drive away evil spirits from the house at Christmastime.

Hol ly is another good luck piece of Chr is tmas greenery. The ancient Romans thought lt to have the abUlty to ward off Ilght11l1ig, evil spells and poi­son.

Every Christmas, I get every­one in our house into the spfr-lt by hang ing mlstletoe ln a couple o f doorways. K l s s l n g beneath the mlstietoe is an old custom that dates back to the Druids.

T h e p l a n t was bel ieved to symbolize purity and strength

and to bring happiness, peace and promote romance. E n e ­mies meeti11g beneath a sprig of mist le toe were sa id to become d i s a r m e d a n d kept their t ruce t h r o u g h o u t the day.

Last is our beautiful Christ­mas tree. The tree, always an evergreen, is regarded as a symbol of everlasting life. The lights that are put on a Christ­mas tree were originally meant to help rekindle the sun's light to br ing the family w a r m t h through the holiday season.

K n o w i n g these c u s t o m s gives C h r i s t m a s a s p e c i a l meani1ig to me and my famOy. As we decorate. We have a feel­ing of peace and happ iness and love.

My Christmas dl11ner table is a lways r e d , whi te a n d green—red candles, garlands of greenery a n d bowls o f paper-white narcissus, which have a fragrance out of this World.

cissu.s will la.st tw() weeks if they iire kepi In a cool place.

The ixilnsetUs is the inost popular plant for tile Christmas holidays. It was discov­ered, made (X)pular and named after our first amfxis.sador to Mexico. Joel Poinsett.

If given proper care, your {xiinsettia can bhiom again the following year and for years to come. Tile requirements are not difficult; proiXT watering is most impor­tant. Just keep it moist and not soggy. If you are lucky, it could be blooming until Easter!

When the blooms fade, withhold water and place the plant out of the light. It goes into a dormant .stage and what it really needs is rest! In e;irly May, trim the plant b a c k to two or three nodf.s (smal l swellings on the stem), start watering and [nil in direct sunlight.

When the frost is gone. Just put your

(ilant aiiywhere in your gurdefl that has good s u n ; plunge pot and all into the groiinil. Fertilize ocrasion.'illy and water diiring the hot sliinmer inonths.

Now c o m e s the impor tant p;irt: in September, when the nights get cool, bring your poinsettia indoors. It must get 14 hours of total darkness every night, either by covering or closeting the plant. Be sure there's no light from suntlfnvn to sunup lintil Thanksgiving (not eveil a ray). Any light diiring tha! [>eriod will Intert'ere with its t7cle and it won't bloom.

However, dur ing the daytime, it can have full light; when darkness falls, back to bed again. Come Christmas, yoiir poin­settia should be full of buds.

W h e n J a n u a r y arrives and the New Year's celebration is over, It is time to unwind with a feeling of fatigue and a little sadness. Time to put all the Chr is tmas tree ornaments back in their boxes for another year.

I altvays get a live Christmas tree (the roots balled aiid covered) and immediately after the first of the year 1 plant it in a pre-diig hole. Plan ahead: You can have a great Christmas tree for the holidays and then have a wonderful new tree for your property.

The hole s h o u l d be dug before the ground freezes and should be one-third filled with miilch from yolir fall cleanup. This will keep the bottom of the hole from freezing so that it will be ready to receive your tree.

it gives me great pleasure to be able to plant the tree after the holidays. As with everything in the garden, it means the continiious renewal of life.

Now that the year is over. 1 putter around the greenhouse—everything is resting. It is the quiet time. The seed cata­logs arrive in the mail and 1 start to get exdtei\ thinking and planning for my great new garden next spring. Soon we will start

solving flats.

A BIRD'S CHRISTMAS If you find it Impossible to attract birds

to yoiir feeders because you have no cover (trees or bushes nearby to protect them), create your own shelter by driving three 5-foot steel fence posts Into the ground and tying discarded Christmas trees to them.

If you can fmd long-needled trees, they are best, since they retain the needles throughout the winter. Within a few days, your new "sanctuary" Will become a thriv­ing feeding station.

P R E S E N T S THAT K E E P GIVING For those considering presents of living

p lants for the hol idays, the A m e r i c a n Assoc ia t ion of Nurserymen has advice worth heeding.

Plants inside or outside keep memories of the occasion fresh for years to come. Of coi i rse, like any present, the selection

should be personal, with the recipient's likes, dislikes alid lifestyle in mind.

For example, if the recipient is a begin­ner at caring for iildoor plants, easy-to-maintain plants such as philodendron, ponytail 01-jade plants would be the prop­er choice. On the other haiid, if the pre­sent is going to a "green thumb." some­thing new and exotic w()ul(l be a challenge.

A very busy household with little time for chores will prefer a plant that requires almost no care and infrequent watering, while a person alone at hoine much of the day will enjoy the need to pamper the growing plant.

feeling of uncertainty about the loss of Jobs.

"The Job situation is foremost on people's minds today," said David Selder , chief economist for the N a t i o n a l A s s o c i a t i o n of Home [3ullders,

"The Job outlook has Improved recently but there's been a tremen­dous amount of chiirnlng. There

have been a great deal of Job losses and job gains as well. But the loss­es are highly publicised and weigh heavily on consumers' minds."

9 . Are sales of exlstlitg homes on the upswlng?

A. Yes, sales of previously owned homes were up by 14.1 percent during September, the last month where f igures are avai lable . Nationwide, 324,000 existing sin­gle-family homes were sold during September , c o m p a r e d with

284.000 homes sold one year earli­er, according to the National Asso­ciation of Realtors.

During the third quarter of this year , sa les of exist ing h o m e s increased in 45 states, the NAR report noted. In 35 of those states, the rate of Increase reached dou­ble-digit figures.

T h e mediaIi price of homes is creeping up. During Septembei", the price nationally \vas $107,700,

compared wilh $103,500 during the same month last year.

"We're seeing increased home buying activity in most areas of the country," said William Chee, NAR president. "But most impressive is the turnout in the first-time buyer sector, and that spells good news for those who Want to trade up to bigger, more expens ive h o m e s because they now have takers for their current homes."

9 . W h a t do the eaiperts s a y

about home prices next year? A. According to a recent survey

of real estate industry analysts, most of them believe prices of sin­gle-family and multifamily proper­ties Will increase during the next 12 months. By comparison, only 10 percent of the analysts see rises in (lowntown office property prices, and 20 percent expect prices of s u b u r b a n of f ice p roper t i es to increase.

The survey of l , 700 Industry experts Was conducted by Ernst &

Y o u n g a n d the Na t iona l Real Estate Investor publication. The report also noted that most experts expect the apartment market to strengthen considerably during the next live years as household for­mations grow.

"It works great," Reid said. "When he has that collar on, he Won't go near the Une."

Part German shepherd, part collie. Reid's dog strayed from the yard only once and hasn't done it again. Reid said.

A squirrel tempted him oiIt last fall. When he crossed the line, he yelped, she said, and ran to the neighbor's yard. When he returned, he paced the line trying to figure out how to cross back.

Now, even joggers—most dogs' favorite people to chase—can't lure Bandit from his yard.

"Bandit will go to the hne and bark," Reid said.

By SCOTT DANIEL StaH Writer

It use to be, In the not to dista11t past, that baseball players had no place to keep their skills sha1p once Ihe snow began to fly each Winter.

But. my, how times haVe changed. The Sports Academy, located at

42930 W. Ten MUe Road in NoVl, of­fers baseball enthusiats the perfect

. training facility -— all year around. According to owner Slu Rose, busi ­ness at the Acadeniy has steadily Im­proved since its opening last August.

"It started sloWfy." he said. "But November sales were on the up­swing."

The facility first opened in 1990 as Grand Slam USA. Rose, Who Worked as an instructor at the business, said Grand Slam Was showing a profit.

Previous owners, nonetheless, closed Grand Slam In June of this year. Instead of letting the business die. Rose took over as sole owner.

Since opening the Acadeniy, I?ose said he has b ^ n mending fences with the baseball community and other former Grand Slam customers.

"We're Very encouraged," he commented.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that Sports Acadeniy is begiruiing to prosper. In an area where athiletlc participation is common-place for youngsters and adults alike, the bus­iness proVides an excellent outlet for pracUce and fun.

A total of fiVe batting catches are on hand for perfecUng hitUng skills. Each cage comes with a dilferent speed pitctilng maclitne, from slow to fast.

You can even practicing hitting curveballs at the Academy. Baseball batting leagues are routinely formed as Well.

W h y t h e I R S a u d i t s t a x p a y e r s

Before you beglfi lo Worry that the Internal Revenue Service will come knocking on your door to question you abou t your tax re lum. the Michi­gan Association of Ccrtined Public Accountants recommends that you lake the time to understand who gets audited and why.

WHO GETS AUDrrED? There are more than 100 million

Individual lax returns filed each year and the IRS audits about a million of these armually. The higher your In-conw. the greater the likelihood of your lax return being among the mil -lion that are audltixl.

Your audit risk also varies de­pending on the type of tax relum you file. Although two-thirds of all tax re­turns filed are In the Form 1040 fam­ily, the IRS allocates more of Its re­sources lo lookmgat non-Form 1040 returns, such as those for S corpora-Uons. gift taxes, estates and regular corporaUons. That's because the IRS has found that these groups of tax fil -ers are less likely to in compliance with the lax law than other filers, and are more likely to owe a hefty sum of back taxes.

TARGETED TAXPAYERS Although you can't know with any

certainly which groups Wil l be targeted by the IRS this year, your chances of being audited are likely lo

M o n e y M a n a g e m e n t

be higher If you're in any of the follow­ing groups:

Self-employed — If you don't col­lect your salaIy from an employer, your chances of being audited may Increase significantly- Thai 's be­cause the IRS tradiUonaliy finds a number of Improperly reported de­ductions among the self-employed.

Individuals With cash income — If your type of business traditionally re­ceives cash payments. Uncle Sam may audit your return and ask for ad­ditional substanllaUon of Income and expenses.

Employees Who deduct excessive travel and entertainment business expenses — Since the DRS has de­tected a substantial number of re­turns With Improper business Wrlle-olfs, the level of these deductions on your return may wave a red flag to the IRS, Be sure you can explain and do­cument these deductions.

Individuals Who receive allmoiiy payments — Your former spouse is required lo report your Social Sec­urity number when claiming a de­duction for making alimony pay­ments to you. This may cause the IRS

to take an extra look al your tax re­turn. Failure lo Include your alimony payments as Income may result in an IRS audit.

Charitable contributors — In­flated reports of charitable conU-lbu-tions have prompted the IRS to look more closely at returns with high charitable-contribution deductions.

Individuals who were previously audited — If you had to make large adjustments lo a previous year's tax return as a result of an IRS audit, chances are that you may be hearing from the IRS again in the future. Pay­ing the correct amount of tax. ensur­ing that your tax return is free from even nlinor errors, and Including ex­planations of questionable Items may help to minimize your risk of another audit.

T H E C O M P U T E R S E L E C T I O N PROCESS

Most of the returns selected for au­dit arc chosen as a result of a compu­ter analysis that compares the de­ductions, exemptions and credits you claim with those claii11ed by other taxpayers In your income

categojy. Each tax return is then gi­ven a score. Ten percent of all tax re­turns — those with the highest scores—are then reviewed by IRS ex­aminers who are responsible for de­ciding which returns should actually be audited.

Factors that may aflfecl lhe exa­miner's review of your re lum include the following:

Size of an item relative to other items on the return.

A n item on the return that is out of character for the taxpayer.

An item reported in an Inappropri­ate place on the re lum.

A n Incomplete re lum that fails lo include proper schedules or other irrformatlon.

Inconsistencies in your lax return, such as reporting business Income, but not paying self-employment lax.

T h * bast defense CPAs point out that there are no

sure-fire ways to avoid an IRS audi t of your tax relum. However, you can re­duce your chances of an audit If you report all Income, attach lo your re­turn an explanation about any un­usual items, and review your return and all the schedules to be certain that they are completed properly.

(Prepard by the Michigan Associa­tion of Certifed Pubtic Accountants)

R e s o l u t i o n s f o r y o u r p o c k e t b o o k

Along with your pledge to lose weight in the new year, you should make some financial resolutions. Here's an item the Michigan Associa­tion of CPAs recommends you in­clude on your New Year's resolution list: Put your firrancial house In or­der. The bcginr11ng of the year is a good time to assess your financial si­tuation and needs so you can ensure your financial security now and In the years to con>e. Here's how lo get started.

Take Stock o f T o u r .Ascets Make a list of all yoirr assets, in­

cluding securities, retirement ac­counts, life insurance, real estate and collectibles. Be sure to Include cash in monqr market accounts, cer­tificates of deposit and checking ac­counts. Determine whether your as­sets are allocated in a way that will help you achieve your short- and long-term goals, such as saving for a larger home or providing for a secure retirement. - " '

Also, take a close look at how your Investments fered over the past year and decide whethcryou should real­locate your assets to obtain greater returns.

R i d Yoursel f of Uimecessary Debt

fJeviewallyouroutstanding loans, such as your mortgage, home-equity and car loans. Determine if you should refinance any of these loans lo obtain a lower Interest rate. If lower loan payments will enable you lo re­cover the costs of refinancing in a year or two. chances are you'll be bet­ter off refinancing.

Calculate your current credit card debt. If It's more than 15 percent of your after-tax Income, adopt a sUategy for reducing your debt. One way is to pay off high-interest credit card balances With a lower interest home-equity loan. Also, look at the Interest rate on your credit cards and shop around for those that ofler lower rates.

C h e c k Y o u r H o m e o w n e r ' s Insurance

Victims of such casualties as the Midwest floods learned the hard way that hiadequate homeowners' insur­ance may make it Impossible to re­place your home and Its possessions In the event of a catastrophe. Your home should tie Insured to 100 per-centofthecostofrebulldlnglt. Ifyour coverage falls below 80 percent, you

may not be reimbursed in full for lesser claims.

Review Y o u r Li fe Insurance Needs

Review your life insurance to de­termine if it will adequately meet your family's needs. Factors that influ­ence the amount of life 111suranceyou need are the number of your d e j ^ -dents. how longyou must provide for them, their day-to-day living ex­penses, anticipated bigejqjcnditures (such as college tuition), and amount of other assets and Income that are available to help meet your depen­dents' needs.

Plan for Y o u r Healtl i-Care Needs Escalati11g health-care costs can

eat Into your savings unless your have adequate health-care coverage. Read your policy to review your dc-ducUbles and to determine what the insurance con^jany will pay for spe­cific medical sltuatlo11s. Ifyour poUcy sets limits for certain procedures, compare these ii1nits to the actual costs In your region of the cotintw. it you discover that there Is a big dlifer-ence, you n1ay want to select another policy, even if the premiums are higher.

Save For Yotu Retirement No matter how young you are. it's

wise to sock away money eve1y year into a retirement plan. Take advan­tage of an employer-sponsored prog­ram, such as a 401(k) plan. If your company doesn't offer such a plan, open an Individual Retirement Ac­count. Yourcontributionwflleamin-terest. tax deferred, untfl the time of withdrawal and may also be tax-deducUble.

Make Sure Your WIU is Up to Date

Review your will at least evely three years. Thatway. it wlUstay cur­rent with cha11ges in fa11iily circum­stances, your net worth and tax laws. Also, be sure to review the beneficiaiy designations in your will.

Get Started on Your Tax Return Whether you hire someone to pre-

pare your tax retilm or do it youicself, ' take the^ receipts aifid dbcumttits^that can help you 'claim tax deductions. A loojcflt test year's tax return will get you started.
