The Plymouth-Canton school board has given Superintendent Jim Ryan the go-ahead to move ahead with $5.6 million in cuts to balance the 2003- 04 budget, including teacher and staff layoffs, increases in breakfast and lunch prices, as well as an end to Sunday activities at the high school complex.

Ryan’s list of proposed cuts is predicated on Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s projected state budget that calls for keeping the current level of state foundation grant for schools, which for Plymouth-Canton is $7,025 per student.

Among the cuts: 20 teachers, which are expected to save the district $686,000. Ryan said he’s hopeful that with a $10,000 incentive to encourage eligible teachers to retire or leave the district, most of those to be given layoff notices April 15 could be rehired.

“We’re hoping the severance incentive gets some folks to declare, and we can work at trying to take back the most senior of the cuts,” said Ryan. “I would like to get them all hired back by the time the school year ends.”

Plymouth-Canton Education Association President Chuck Portelli said he’s not surprised at the number of teacher layoffs.

“The district saves $50,000 every time a teacher is laid off,” he said. “The more people who take the sev­erance and leave the district, the more it will save jobs for people that could be laid off.”

Among other staff cuts will be one administrator, who has yet to be named, two secretaries, five para- professionals, and a number of aides.

Additional budget reduction recommendations include cutting major projects, $400,000; ordering fewer instructional supplies, $100,000; administra­tive building reductions, $300,000; and a 10-percent cut in the athletic budget, $200,000.

Township cops make drug bustBY BRAD KADRICHS T A F F W R IT E R

Plymouth Township’s participa­tion in the Western Wayne Community Response Team is starting to pay off.

In a combined effort between the CRT, township patrol officers and the Western Wayne Narcotics Enforcement Team, Plymouth Township police arrested a town­ship man for distribution of drugs out of his home in the 9000 block of Northern Street.

When police searched his home, they found additional narcotics, counterfeit money and equipment designed to distribute narcotics.

Matthew Hernandez was arraigned March 6 on five felony counts of delivery and manufac­ture of drugs. One count was for methamphetamine, which carries a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison and a $25,000 fine.

OLGC principal removal angers parentsBY BRAD KADRICHS T A F F W R ITER

Anyone from the Our Lady of Good Counsel parish who showed up at Monday’s parish council meeting expecting answers as to why longtime principal Tedd Behn is being let go walked away largely unhappy.

The Rev. John Sullivan, the OLGC pastor, made the deci­

sion in February not to bring back Behn, the principal at OLGC School for 17 years. The school educates more than 600 students in grades K-8.

Sullivan has, to this point, been very quiet about the decision not to renew Behn’s contract. On the administra­tive intent form the principal filed in January, Behn indicat­ed his plan to return to the role. However, when he got it

back from Sullivan, the pastor had written, “I feel it is time for an administrative change.”

That’s the only thing Behn has heard to this day. Behn said he hasn’t spoken to or met with Sullivan since the decision was made.

“I was shocked,” Behn said Tuesday. “I’ve been here 17 years, and I thought I’d retire from here. And I’m not ready to retire.”

SHOCK A N D SURPRISE

Apparently, Behn wasn’t the only one surprised by the deci­sion, which is Sullivan’s to make as the pastor of the parish under Archdiocese of Detroit rules. According to Richard Laskos, public rela­tions associate for the Archdiocese of Detroit, the

G raffiti alters mural messageBY T O N Y BRUSCATOS T A F F W R IT E R

Two years ago, Jay Densmore had a giant flag painted on the outside of his Plymouth Furniture Refinishing building on Main Street.

“I put it there to make people think about our veterans, to thank them for what they’ve done for us,” said Densmore. “They (World War II-era veterans) are dying off at a thousand a day, and soon no one will be around to tell the story. If they’re not remembered... we all owe them a lot.”

Despite the words “Remember Our Veterans” around the flag, vandals appar­

ently took the message differently, spray­painting “So Let’s Go To War” on the lower part of the building, apparently in refer­ence to a possible conflict with Iraq.

Densmore said Plymouth police told him they noticed the graffiti early Saturday morning.

“It was pretty upsetting,” said Densmore. “The flag has been up there for a few years and it has no connection with the war. I think whoever did it thought I was sup­porting going to war, but it wasn’t that at all.”

Concert master takes final bow as career moves forward

PHOTO BY DONALD J . A L L E Y

The Plymouth Symphony's Concert Master of the past 5 years, Juliana Athayde, performs Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto O p .3 5 ., her last performance as a member of the Plymouth Symphony. She plans a move to Cleveland to pursue her Master's Degree.

BY BRAD KADRICHS T A F F W R IT E R

It was a night of excitement and bittersweet moments as the Plymouth Symphony took the stage Saturday at Our Lady of Good Counsel.

While the symphony was welcoming an art exhibit fea­turing Russian artist Felix Braslavsky, members were also bidding farewell to Concert Master Juliana Athayde, who is leaving the symphony after five years to continue her education in Cleveland.

To celebrate her final per­formance, Athayde performed Prokofiev’s Troika! from Lieutenant Kije, Shostokovich’s Symphony No. 5 in D minor and Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto Op. 35.

“It was bittersweet,” Athayde said. “I spent five years there; that’s a good chunk of time. I joined them as a college fresh­man and now I’m a grad stu­dent.

“It was definitely great to be playing with people who have been so supportive and have been there for me all the time. I felt like everyone wanted me to play well, and that’s always a nice feeling.”

Athayde’s accomplishments belie her youth. At age 21, she’s already played the violin for some 19 years. She has studied with masters such as Zoya Leybin of the San Francisco Symphony, University of

Michigan School of Music Professor Paul Kantor and vir­tuoso Pinchas Zuckerman.

She has performed with the Young People’s Symphony Orchestra, the Diablo Symphony and the San Francisco Symphony, where she was a featured soloist during 11 performances of its “Concerts for Kids” series.

A Bay Area native, Athayde was concert master with the San Francisco Orchestra for three years before moving east to study music at U-of-M. She earned her bachelor’s degree last year. She had a chance to return to the Bay Area when she recently won a job with the San Francisco orchestra, but she turned it down to stay in Cleveland.

She will be the only student in a class with Cleveland con­cert master Bill Preucil, learn­ing how to be a concert master for a major orchestra.

Athayde said it was a good time to turn down such an offer, even with a potential six- figure salary, to do what she really wants.

“It would make total sense to take this great (San Francisco) job, but I’m going to stay in Cleveland,” Athayde said. “(Preucil) is going to teach me how to do what I really want to do. I figured this is the only time I’m going to be 22, single and able to turn away from one great opportunity to take another great opportunity that will, in the long-run, hopefully serve me well.”

City gets 'good amount' of interest in Bathey site

PAUL HURSCHM ANN | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

T h e B M C p r o p e r t y o n M ill is fo r s a le , a n d c it y m a n a g e r Paul S in c o c k s a id it is d ra w in g c o n s id e ra b le in te r e s t.

BY TONY BRUSCATOS T A F F W R ITER

Plymouth city officials are receiving a fairly good amount of interest in nearly 16 acres of property along Mill Street once owned by A&E Holdings, otherwise known as Bathey Manufacturing.

The city gained ownership * of the property in January as the result of a negotiated set­tlement with former owner Wendell Flynn, after a 20-year battle in which Flynn failed to pay $3 million in back taxes, interest and penalties.

City Manager Paul Sincock said interest has been growing in the largest tract of land available in the city.

“We have a list of nine peo­ple who have expressed inter­est in the property,” Sincock said. “We’ve taken a couple of groups through so they can get a perspective on it.”

City planners are currently working on a land use for the site, which is expected to be revealed to the city commis­sion in the near future. However, there appears to be little interest in the industrial and office segments, leading to speculation residential will eventually be constructed on

the site.“I’ve not heard of any inter­

est for manufacturing, which is probably welcome news for some of the neighbors in the area,” said Sincock. “Some of the groups have expressed interest in some type of con­dominium development, and perhaps single family homes as well.”

Mayor Bill Graham believes Plymouth is still a hot market for developers.

“The city is still a hot area to be when it comes to residen­tial,” Graham said. “The large piece of property will certainly afford for some significant development in the city’s boundaries.”

While the list of interested parties is being kept quiet, one reportedly intrigued by the property is Joseph Freed & Associates from Wheeling, 111., which is developing a 163- unit residential project at the former Daisy BB Gun factory on Union Street. The Bathey property is located just across the railroad tracks from the 11-acre Daisy site.

One of the pluses for the city owning the property is being able to have a say in how it’s developed.

“We’re able to call the shots,

and we’re rarely in that posi­tion,” said Commissioner Stella Greene. “We, as a city bought the property so we could make the best use of it, and have some say in deter­mining how it’s used.

“Personally, my first choice is to see additional residential, but I’m not ruling out any other type of configuration,” she said. “I’m open to seeing what developers can submit to the city.”

After chasing down back taxes for 20 years, Sincock is certain of what he’d like to see on the site.

“I’d like to see a taxpayer; somebody who pays their taxes in a timely manner,

somebody who pays their water bills in a timely man­ner,” he said. “That’s what we’re interested in.”

Assault suspect could be tied to similar Plymouth investigationBY JACK GLADDENS T A F F W R ITER

A 21-year-old Canton man has been charged with third- degree criminal sexual conduct in connection with an alleged assault on a 15-year-old girl.

Jody Preston Yanez was arraigned on Saturday, March 8, in 34th District Court. A plea of not guilty was entered in his behalf and he was remanded to the Wayne County Jail. Apre- liminary exam is scheduled for Friday, March 21, at 35th District Court in Plymouth.

He could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

Yanez, who was scheduled to stand trial in Oakland County on Tuesday in a similar case, is also a suspect in an incident in Plymouth Township.

Canton Police Sgt. Todd Mutchler said the Canton girl told police she met a friend at a coffee shop in Plymouth where she was introduced to a man known as “JD.” She said they went for a walk and she gave him her telephone number.

The man called her the fol­

lowing day and asked her to meet him at Westland Mall. When they met at the mall, she told police, he asked her if she wanted to go to a movie and they returned to Canton.

He began to make sexual advances during the movie, then took her to an apartment complex on Haggerty Road where he sexually assaulted her in a sauna room, she said.

She did not report the assault immediately, Mutchler said, because she was afraid and embarrassed. Her mother found a note the girl had writ­ten to a friend and she and her daughter went to the police.

Police were able to identify the suspect, Mutchler said, and Yanez was arrested. Based upon information obtained during the investigation, police got a search warrant to seize Yanez’ computer for forensic evalua­tion.

“We’re looking for specific evidence to use in our case,” Mutchler said. “Apparently he was sending instant messages to her.”

Mutchler said Yanez is also a

suspect in at least one other CSC case in Plymouth .Township.

Tom Tiderington, Plymouth Township Police Chief, con­firmed that his department was looking into a similar case but said it was too early in the investigation to discuss details.

Meanwhile, in Oakland County, officials asked for a delay of the trial set for Tuesday due to the new developments in Canton.

In the Oakland County cake, Yanez was charged with assaulting a 15-year-old Wolverine Lake girl who subse­quently became pregnant, according to assistant prosecu­tor Paul Walton.

Yanez entered a plea in that case on Nov. 25, Walton said, but then withdrew it to seek probation under the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act. He was not given probation but was released on a $10,000 personal bond.

He was still out on bond when he was arrested in the Canton incident.jg la d d e n @ o e h o m e c o m m .n e t | (7 3 4 ) 4 5 9 -270 0

Township to pursue new hallBY BRAD KADRICHS T A F F W R ITER

Plymouth Township Supervisor Steve Mann remains undaunted in his plans to build a new township hall complex, despite the fourth cut to state revenue sharing in two years and the nagging feeling that more will come.

The budget revealed last week by Gov. Jennifer Granholm took another 3-per­cent bite out of the state rev­enue sharing apple, meaning another $73,000 out of the township’s budget. In the four cuts, according to township treasurer Ron Edwards, Plymouth Township has lost some $250,000.

Still, Mann appears commit­ted to pushing forward on the $10 million-plus project, which would see a new complex built on land the township will pur­chase from auto magnate Don

Massey at Ann Arbor Road and Haggerty.

The Plymouth Township Board of Trustees met Tuesday night in a closed ses­sion to discuss the purchase, although no decisions were actually made. Mann has pre­viously indicated Massey is seeking some $1.7 million for the nine-acre parcel; the township has had it appraised at $1.6 million, while a Massey appraisal has its worth set at $1.8 million. ,

“In this economy, construc­tion costs are never going to be cheaper,” Mann said. “We saw that with the WTUA expansion project in Ypjsilanti. We got almost twice as many bidders as we expected. We’re never going to get lower interest rates, and that saves the taxpay­ers money.”

Since Mann’s plan is to pay for the township complex through bonds, he knows he’s

going to have to sell it to resi-’ dents who will foot the bill. The issue will be put to voters and, if they approve it, the estab­lished millage will be dedicated to paying off the bonds.

When those are paid off, the millage is removed from resi­dents’ taxes. “If voters approye it, we have a set stream of rev­enue that can go only for that,” Mann said.

He also knows it might be a tough sell in tough economic times, but he feels it’s still a necessary expense, and he’s confident he can sell it to vot­ers.

“It’s not the time to be asking (residents) for more money,” Mann acknowledged. “But you have to look at the need. It’s something we need to do; we’ve put it off for too long. But we have the lowest tax rate in Wayne County, and that’s going to remain true, even if this passes.”

Cause still unknown in Maybury Park farm fire

BY PAU LINE LUPERCIOC O R R E S P O N D E N T

The incident happened a month ago and there are still no official answers regarding the deadly fire at the Maybury State Park living farm.

John Burn, specialist ser­geant with the state police fire marshall’s division, said the cause of the fire is still under investigation. Arson, he said, is not likely.

“The actual scene examina­tion has been completed and has been for some time. The scene was turned back to the DNR for their disposal,” said Bum. “That is why the debris has been cleared [from the site.]”

But the actual cause of the deadly fire is still yet to be determined. A full 30 days have passed since the barn was burned to the ground, but Burn said it is not unusual for an investigation of this nature to “drag on for some time.”

“We are still waiting for

some results and some other things that we are looking at,” he said. “Once we have those details, then hopefully we be able to issue a statement as to what we believe happened out there.”

Northville Township fire­fighters received the call on Feb. 12 at approximately 9:45 p.m. and arrived at the Eight Mile and Beck location to find the barn in flames. Fire departments from the cities of Northville and Novi assisted in the firefighting effort.

With no water supply on the scene, and not enough water brought in by the tanker truck to fight the barn fire, township firefighters made the executive decision to use the water supply to save the surrounding build­ings.

Fifty animals died as a result of the fire.

Donations pouring in for Maybury fundBY PAULINE LUPERCIOC O R R E S P O N D E N T

Donations continue to come in for the Northville Community Foundation's Maybury Farm Endowment Fund and Foundation director Shari Peters said she is keeping tabs on where the money is coming from, as well as what the donations are for.

According to Peters, more than $7,500 was collected by press time by the state certified, 501(c)(3) organization. The group's goal, said Peters, is to raise $1 million dollars to help rebuild the barn, replenish the animals, and fund the basic upkeep of the farm.

"Were far short of the million dollars, and that is what we absolutely need," said Peters-. "Although we have received a fair amount of donations, we still need a considerable amount. Our next step is to contact our corporate friends."

But for now, Peters said the envelopes containing five, $10,

and $20 donations - from indi­viduals from Northville to Grosse Pointe Woods to Clinton township - are "touching."

"There's no rhyme or reason to where the donations come from," said Peters. "Everyone wants to help. The fire sure did touch the hearts of a lot of peo­ple."

After thank-you cards are written to each and every donor, Peters said the money is deposited into an account at Northville's Community Federal Credit Union before being placed into the endow­ment fiind by local investors. Copies of all checks received and all deposits made are kept an file.

"Very accurate records are being kept on every dollar received," said Peters. "We have crossed every "T" and dotted every "I" and kept incredibly accurate books so as to avoid any intimation of fund mis­management."

Hernandez also faces a possi­ble seven years in prison on one charge involving keta­mine, and four years in prison on each of three marijuana charges.

Hernandez is being held in the Wayne County Jail on a $50,000 cash bond. He’s scheduled for a pre-trial hear­ing March 21 at 35th District Court in Plymouth.

“It was a combined effort from our patrol officers, our NET, our CRT and the Western Wayne narcotics

team,” Plymouth Township Police Chief Tom Tiderington said, “We received information that Hernandez was selling various drugs from his moth­er’s residence an d ... he was selling to kids as young as 15 and 16 years old. With that information, we initiated a concerted effort to investigate him, arrest him and put him out of business.”

Police say Hernandez was supplying, among other things, ketamine to teenagers. According to Tiderington, ket­amine is an animal tranquiliz­er that is becoming a very pop­ular drug among teenagers and young adults. “He wasn’t

just selling a little marijuana,” Tiderington said. “Ketamine is cheap, and it’s viewed at least by the kids as a somewhat non-risky type of drug. But there have been deaths associ­ated with it.”

This is the third drug arrest in Plymouth Township in the last month.

In late February, police raided a township apartment complex and arrested two peo­ple, one for possession of mar­ijuana with intent to deliver, the other for possession and loitering in a place where drugs are sold. In mid- February, township police arrested a Plymouth Township

man, Joe Young, after a search warrant turned up about 1.6 pounds of marijuana in his Parkhurst home.

Tiderington credits teams like the CRT for the successful arrests of late.

“With the cooperative effort we’ve created the last six or seven months, it’s given us the opportunity to follow up on leads that might not have - developed in the past,” the chief said. “It gives us a much more comprehensive ability to address what’s going on in the community.”

Township, stopped in to thank Densmore for his support of veterans.

“I just came over to thank you for respecting our veter­ans and not promoting a war, for remembering what we did,” Phillips told Densmore.“I was a Vietnam War-era vet­eran, and we weren’t treated all that well when we came home. In fact, we were told not to go home in our uni­forms.”

As for a possible war with Iraq, Phillips supports the

U.S. military, saying President Bush should complete the job that wasn’t concluded in 1991.

“I think we should go back and finish it,” he said. “We can’t wait for this guy (Saddam Hussein) to pull the trigger.”

Meanwhile, Densmore said he’ll paint over the graffiti when the weather gets warmer, and hopes word of his support for veterans will keep other pranksters from doing the same thing.

Cost savings and revenue generating recommendations, designed to add money to the general fund, include eliminat­ing Sunday activities at The Park, $22,000; increasing breakfast and lunch prices, $100,000; preschool and extended day fee increases, $85,000.

“For the most part, what we’ve tried to do is to have as little impact on students in the classroom, and look into

In planning the $5.6 million in cuts, the district increased its prediction of the number of students that will attend Plymouth-Canton Schools next year.

administrative and noninstruc- tional areas,” said board mem­ber Judy Mardigian. “You can’t make cuts of this magnitude and not touch students, but I think to the greatest extent pos­sible that has been the goal.”

Trustee Tom Wysocki agreed. “We’ve done a lot of talking in workshops and study sessions, so we’re prepared on what needs to be done,” he said. “There’s been a lot of work and thought to not affect kids and their education, and the things we’re cutting are not things that tug at parent heart strings.”

There were areas the board listed as “untouchable” while arriving at places to cut the budget. They included class size in kindergarten through second grade, the elementary Talented and Gifted program, no double sessions or four-day school weeks, keeping bus transportation and middle school athletic programs.

In planning the $5.6 million in cuts, the district increased its prediction of the number of students that will attend Plymouth-Canton Schools next year, thereby increasing the expected amount of foundation money from the state. The plan also calls for approval from the Board of Education to use $2 million of the projected June 30,2003, fund balance of $11.1 million.

“While we look at the painful future, we’ve done the best we can with the scenario we can control,” said Patricia Brand, executive director of business services. “We’re now walking into a time where our future is being determined by the state, with level revenue and expendi­tures that are sometimes beyond our ability to control.”

With last week’s announce­ment by the governor that the foundation grant will remain stable, the district’s refigured budget deficit dropped from an expected $9 million to $5.6 million.

“It’s not as unpleasant as we thought, but it’s still painfully unpleasant,” added Brand.

Board President Elizabeth Givens said the district will eventually need to change the way it thinks to avoid more drastic cuts in the future.

“We still need to look long­term at some new ways of thinking in public education because the issues aren’t going to go away,” she said. “We’re going to have to behave more like private education in think­ing about how to pay for every­thing. I don’t think miracles happen in Lansing.”

archdiocese has no standing in the decision.

“He may call the Archdiocese for input,” Laskos said. “But that decision is the pastor’s.”

However, Sullivan hasn’t explained the decision to any­one in the parish, and parents, angered by the lack of com­munication, showed up in droves Monday for the parish council meeting.

The majority of parents on hand thought they were com­ing to’hear Sullivan explain the decision. However,Sullivan declined to do so in anything more than vague general terms.

“I will not, I cannot divulge all of those (reasons),” Sullivan told the gathering. “That’s not your position to know. If someone loses a job, he knows why. If he doesn’t want to tell you, that’s up to him.

“(Behn) was a good princi­pal, and he did a lot of good things over the years,” Sullivan added. “Now, there’s an administrative period and there needs to be a change.”

The lack of explanation fur­ther fueled some anger among those in attendance, many of whom were upset about being left out of the decision-making process to begin with.

Maureen Callahan, who has been a member of the parish for some three years, was one of those upset about the lack of information.

“When we don’t understand why decisions are being made, and we feel that we are being shut out from the decision­making process, we become fearful of what these changes may mean,” Callahan said. “With no explanation given as to the reasons for the recent changes, we are left to specu­late, which is enormously unfair to Mr. Behn, to our pas­tor, and to our school’s fine reputation.”

SOME SUPPORT

Not everyone at Monday’s parish council meeting was angered by the decision to let Behn go. A few people expressed willingness to accept the decision as Sullivan’s to make, and tried to move forward in replacing Behn.

“I don’t know if all of the anger will be gone (after the meeting), but it’s a start,” said

Stan Olszewski, a member of OLGC since 1977- “People who are concerned about the school are concerned about a portion of their kids’ lives. Father had to make an admin­istrative decision to move us forward.”

Much of the discussion dur­ing Monday’s meeting cen­tered around communication, leading some to believe that was Behn’s downfall. When asked why the problems weren’t addressed in a per­formance review, Sullivan responded, “Who says they weren’t?”

But Behn said no such per­formance review has ever taken place.

“If he has a review he says was signed by and discussed by both of us, I’d like to see it,” said Behn, who is currently looking at other employment opportunities. “He’s never given me a job review.”

Sullivan said the decision to let Behn go was not “a whim of mine,” but rather had been

one three years in the making. But Behn said Sullivan has never expressed any dissatis­faction with his administra­tion.

Sullivan, who has been the pastor for some 10 years, called teachers at the school “exceptional” and said he had no doubt they would stay on. Also staying, according to Sullivan, is assistant principal Jack Curry.

According to Sullivan, a search committee to find Behn’s replacement will be formed at April’s parish coun­cil meeting. The committee, he said, would be comprised of teachers, staff", the parent- advisory board and the parish council.

“Hopefully, we’U be able to start interviewing in May,” Sullivan told the assemblage. “Hopefully, we’ll be able to announce a new principal before the end of the school year.”bkadrich@oe.homecomm.net |(734)459-2700

* OUR VIEWS

Bond request should be made clear to residents

The b u d g e t revea led la s t w eek by Gov. Je n n ife r Granholm took another 3-percent bite out of the state revenue sharing apple that is a large part of the financial meal in Plymouth and Plymouth Township.

While a 3-percent cut doesn’t amount to a lot of dollars for either community ($73,000 in the township, $30,000 in the city), the fact tha t revenue sharing has been cut several times in the last couple of years ought to be a red flag big enough to make officials in both governments leery about spending a lot of money until the budget ship rights itself.

In Plymouth Township, Supervisor Steve Mann is push­ing ahead with plans to build a $10 million township hall complex at the corner of Haggerty and Ann Arbor Road, on land the township will purchase from Don Massey.

We don’t dispute tlie need for a new complex, what with the township offices now lodged in five cramped buildings at Ann Arbor Road and Lilley. W ith mainte­nance costs and safety issues abounding, a new complex should definitely be a top priority.

There are a lot of advantages to the plan. The township is likely to get more than enough in the sale of its current location to purchase the Massey property. The economy, in terms of construction costs and interest rates, makes this a good time to bid such a contract.

For instance, nearly a dozen contractors b id on the Western Townships Utilities Authority’s expansion proj­ect at its Ypsilanti plant, nearly double the num ber of expected bidders, according to Mann.

But that’s a double-edged sword, because the same lull in the economy that has interest rates low and a bevy of construction firms underbidding each other makes it tougher on th e taxpayers w ho will have to bear the expense.

Township residents will have to approve the millage for the bonds, and it’s a request they can expect to see from their government before the year is out. As Mann correct­ly points out, board members aren’t likely to be daring enough to ask for a tax increase in an election year.

With another $73,000 disappearing from the general fund, and more cuts likely if the governor can’t find rev­enue elsewhere, we believe the township board should be focusing hard on maintaining its general fund budget.

While we reserve judgment on the township hall bond issue until such time as the request actually comes, we have this piece of advice for board members: Remember the failed millage request of the late 1990s, and make things clear to residents before you go to them hat in hand.

Legislature must act on budget challenge

As Jennifer Granholm traveled the campaign trail, and then again as she toured various town meetings at which she sold her budget message, the state’s first woman gov­ernor promised to make K-12 education a top priority.

At the same time, legislators on both sides of the aisle agreed the state’s budget was in such bad shape tha t nothing but a bipartisan effort would solve it, and they promised to deliver just such an effort.

In unveiling her budget in an unusual personal appear­ance before the House and Senate appropriations com­mittees, Granholm kept her promise.

Now it’s time for legislators to do the same.Granholm’s budget pretty much preserved K-12 fund­

ing, if you don’t count a 25-percent reduction for items such as adult education and talented-and-gifted pro­grams and an 80-percent slash to MEAP scholarships.

Her solution for the rest of the $1.9 billion budget mess is about equal parts aggressive slashing o f w hat she thinks is governm ent w aste and am bitious optim ism about what she thinks the state can generate in revenue.

The biggest losers in her budget are the state-funded universities and the students who wish to attend them, who will likely be hit with double-digit tuition increases; and patrons of the arts, who saw their favorite destination for state money cut by 50 percent.

Granholm campaigned on the idea of a ‘lean, not mean” government that reduces waste and lives within its means. She believes the budget she delivered does exactly that. And, unless they have a better plan, it’s incuftibent upon legislators to finally mean it when they say they’ll deliver a bipartisan effort to solve the state’s financial problems.

LETTERSGreat women

March is National Women’s History Month. It was established to recognize and celebrate women’s accomplishments. And I would like to tell you about four great women who live and work here:

Jennifer Tobin shares her energy and devotion to the arts with all of us, but especially children. Many, many children have been a part of the Plymouth Community Arts .Council’s Children’s Theater over the years. My oldest son, Andrew, 20, now a college student, was part of the first group of Whistle Stop Players. Jennifer shares her love of per­forming with kids, not so they will become great actors, but because she knows the arts are magic. She knows that when children are involved in the arts, it helps them become the best children they can be.

Jennifer’s last official act as director of the arts council was to write a letter of recommendation for my middle son,John.

Christina Deininger is one of the newer teachers at Central Middle School. She’s also a new mother. In addition to teach­ing math and science, she’s taken on extra duties as a coach for the Math Counts team, which my youngest son, Mark, is a part of. She spent the first day of winter break at a Math Counts Regional Competition with her students at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.

Jenny Melkvik is a math teacher and Math Counts coach at East Middle School. She also spent the first day of winter break at the Math Counts Regional Competition. Jenny proudly sat in the first row with her students during the competition. More than 100 students from a dozen schools participated, and six of Jenny Melkvik’s students finished in the top 10.

Cathy Sobie is a parent of two teenage girl and does day care for Plymouth- Canton teachers, including Mrs. Deininger’s little girl - which means that Mrs. Deininger and other teachers can spend time helping other people’s kids, like my son.

These women have many things in common, but their greatest accomplish­ment is their dedication and willingness to share their talents and time with chil­dren every day. They do so because they know it’s important.

Welcome new PTOIn response to Tony Bruscato’s article,

“Fiegel PTO resigns in clash with princi­pal,” the Fiegel staff looks forward to wel­coming and working with a new PTO board, that as the bylaws state, “shall cooperate with the school to support the improvement of education in ways that will not interfere with the administration of the school and shall not seek to control their policies.”

We are anxious to begin the rebuilding and healing process supported by our new PTO board’s child-centered focus.

According to the PTO bylaws, “The children are the reason this organization was formed.” This is also the desire of the Fiegel staff. Our administrator’s focus is on what is best for children and their learning. Mr. Johnson has supported the staff in implementing policies that have

provided positive student learning expe­riences and their safety.

Our goals cannot be met when a few vocal individuals attempt to break down and publicly criticize our school and per­sonnel rather than working together to come to a mutual consensus that would benefit and build our learning communi­ty

Fiegel is an exciting and enjoyable place to learn and work, due to the lead­ership and example set by our adminis­trator, Mr. James Johnson, and the dedi­cation of our highly trained staff.

Obnoxious announcerOn Feb. 20,2003, Lwas a spectator at

the PCS Penguins-University Liggett girls’ hockey game at Arctic Edge. The public address announcer introduced the incorrect team as the opponent. It only spiraled downward from here.

In the countless youth hockey games I have attended over the years, I have never witnessed such a display of unsportsman­like conduct as exhibited by this announcer. He stumbled to introduce the visiting team’s starting line and he then went into his “obnoxious act” when intro­ducing the home team. This childish behavior continued throughout the game, when announcing the home team’s goals and when they won the game.

Regardless if this is a paid position or that of a volunteer, such one-sidedness is not a good example for any of the stu­dents and parents in attendance. In addition, on at least two occasions music was played while play was in progress instead of jceasing once the puck is dropped. Op a positive note, as an away team spectator I only have to endure these antics once this season while the home team fans have 10 games to experience this classless and unprofessional demeanor.

Important lessonI read with interest your article on

Miller Elementary School’s talent show. I have some personal experience with this, because my son attends Miller and tried out for the show this year and last. I think it is unrealistic to expect that the show can accommodate every act.

My son (who plays piano) did not make the show last year, but he still enthusias­tically attended the performance.Hearing the performances of the'kids who were chosen gave him something to work toward in the ensuing year.

He practiced extremely hard (dedica­tion to a task is unusual for him) and was accepted into the show this year. My experience has been that Mrs. Zabowski is very, very fair. The pianists who were chosen last year were more skilled than my son, and their performances were something to emulate. I think that he learned an important life lesson through the tryout experience.

Diplomacy firstThe League of Women Voters urges

President George W. Bush to continue

working with the United Nations to resolve the situation with Iraq. International cooperation is essential in guarding against terrorism and protect­ing all nations from attack, particularly those involving nuclear, chemical or bio­logical weapons.

Working with the United Nations pro­vides the United States with many for­eign and domestic policy advantages:

■ It ensures a fall and exhaustive debate of a range of alternative policies and actions

■ It builds unity of purpose by clearly defining the objectives to be fulfilled

■ It assures the world that the United States is not acting solely for its own ben­efit, while reassuring the American peo­ple that the United States is not acting alone

■ It provides the legitimacy of interna­tional law

■ It increases the chances of long-term success through international peacekeep­ing and nation-building efforts

The United Nations should be an important component of U.S. foreign pol­icy. Resolution of past crises has shown the effectiveness of multilateral action.

Parental responsibilityMy son, a third-grader at Miller, took

the Cognitive Abilities Test in January. This test is used as an entrance test to the TAG (talented and gifted) program.

Although he had scored above aver­age, he was not invited for the phase II of testing. He was disappointed. There are 200 third-graders vying for 26 spots in next year’s fourth-grade class. These children too must learn to cope with disappointment if they do not qualify.

’ I am sure that the kids at the variety show competition were never led to believe that they “weren’t good enough” if they didn’t qualify.

However, it seems that children should do the best they can do and just be happy giving their best effort. Parents should recognize, encourage and support their children in their endeavors and not apply too much pressure or express disappoint­ment if their own expectations are not met.

G r a n h o lm c a r v e s n e w g r o u n d f o r D e m o c r a tLast week, Gov. Jennifer Granholm delivered

the most painful budget message heard in Michigan in many, many years.

She proposed balancing the estimated $1.7 bil­lion budget deficit for the fiscal year that begins in October by cutting $937 million in state spending and proposing around $400 million each in new revenues (increasing the tax on diesel fuel, for example) and accounting maneu-

The big winners: Public schools (the $6,700 per-pupil foundation grant will be retained) and early childhood education. The big losers: universities and community colleges (a 6.5-percent cut), graduating high school sen­iors ($2,500 college merit scholarships for those who did well on the MEAP test will be cut to $500) and state

■‘employees ($250 million in negotiated wage and benefit increases were zeroed out of

Legislative and media reaction was generally admiring. Granholm did the run-up to her budg­et message in a spectacularly effective series of show-and-tell performances around the state. And her overall tough approach — “The days of spending beyond our means are over,” she said in an unusual personal appearance before the House and Senate appropriations committees — won praise from Democrats and Republicans alike.

Upon reflection, three things stand out.First, Granholm may wind up carving entirely

new ground for a Democratic politician.Her predecessor, Republican John Engler,

had an entirely different style — aggressively blunt and determinedly non-inclusive. And during the last years in office, Engler tried to - do an impossible balancing act, simultaneously cutting taxes, increasing spending and finding all kinds of accounting gimmicks to balance the budget.

Granholm wants to “build a government that is lean, not mean.” She says that at times of budget crisis a government cannot be or do everything for everybody and that tough-minded decisions must be made about spending priorities. For a Democrat to be a budget hawk is a new approach. Perhaps Granholm’s is dictated by the stringency of the times, but I wouldn’t be sur­prised if it really works.

Second, nobody should assume this budget is going to solve all our problems. It’s based on lots

of assumptions — attitudes of state employee unions, saving money by diverting some prison­ers to less expensive drug treatment plans, clos­ing loopholes like transfer taxes on property sales — that may not pan out. The economy could fall into full-blown recession. The inevitable legisla­tive and lobbying arm-twisting has yet to take place.

Moreover, the fact is that the state faces some­thing like a $1 billion “structural budget deficit” that will dominate budget discussions for years to come. As the widely respected Citizen’s Research Council pointed out in a report issued last year, the combination of tax cuts over the past decade and relatively high expectations for state services have resulted in budgets that are intrinsically unbalanced unless something fundamental is done. This debate has yet to take place, but it surely will.

Third, Granholm is coming awfully close to inflicting real, long-term damage to one of Michigan’s greatest long-term competitive advantages — our high-quality state universi­ties and the research and development efforts they support. Support for higher education has now been cut by something like 10 per­cent over the past two budget years. This is the biggest cut since the recession in the early 1980s.

To her credit, Granholm said the higher edu­cation cuts were the most painful part of her budget. But she also said quite clearly that, “Higher education is not as critical as making sure a child is ready to go to college in the first place.”

The fact remains that massive budget cuts for universities can do an awful lot o f damage in a very short time, damage that takes many years to repair. Students and families will inevitably get hit with big tuition increases, not to mention the loss of $2,500 college scholarships. Universities will have to cut courses, increase class sizes, reduce library and computer facilities and do all the things that save money but likely cut quality.

What keeps Michigan distinctive and fuels our economy and the prosperity of our citizens is the aggregate excellence of our investments in human and intellectual capital.

Gov. Granholm and the Legislature need to be especially thoughtful about the long-term conse­quences as they come to closure on this part of the budget.

Stolen Pen Caper never should have gotten as far as it wentThere have been basically two descriptions

of 18-year-old Charles Savino going around since the Stolen Pen Caper came

to light last week.One comes from those who believe things

went too far, that Savino and his friends were teenagers playing a harmless prank. The other comes from Plymouth police, who portray Savino as a braggadocious, smart-aleck kid who was disrespectful of the local constabulary.

No matter which is true, one thing is clear, at least from reaction to the story that appeared in the March 9 Observer. In the court of public opinion, at least, the cops lost this one.

The incident happened in August, when Savino, a Canton Township resident, borrowed a pen from Plymouth police Officer Sam Poules. When Poules went to use it later that shift, he found the pen’s innards miss­ing. Savino swears one of the other kids took the ink car­tridge out; the cops insist Savino is responsible because he borrowed the pen.

Savino said he went looking for the cop to apologize and

arrange to get him a new pen, but instead they arrested him. The police say Savino was ‘brag­ging” about the incident on the street, a show of disrespect that led to charges being brought.

A report was written, and Savino pleaded guilty two weeks ago to a charge of disorderly conduct

Last year was a tough one for Savino. On New Year’s Day, he was the passenger in a car driven by best friend Eric Dodsworth that was hit by an off-duty Wayne County Sheriff’s employee. The off-duty employee was later con­victed of drunken driving. Dodsworth died in the crash, and Savino was badly hurt. He spent time alternating between the hospital and doc­tor visits and testifying against the driver.

It was May before Savino, the eldest of four sons, was cleared by doctors to resume normal activity. Three months later, he was on the other side, folding himself in trouble with the police.

The penalty for pilfering a cop’s pen? A $300 fine (which includes court costs) and a year’s probation. If Savino stays out of trouble for the year, it’ll be like nothing ever happened.

Except it did happen, and the reputation police have with the youth in town took another hit, whether they want to admit it or not. This is a town that isn’t always perceived as kid-friend­ly, and that reputation was enhanced.

“I look at the (police) report and I see a kid trying to say ‘I’m sorry’ and make amends,” said Kathleen Savino, Charles’ mom. “To me, this was a cop with a bruised ego trying to make an example of someone.”

That’s from Savino’s side. From the police perspective, it’s a matter of getting respect on the street. If the theft of a pen valued, by the officer’s own admission, at $1 seems trivial, Police Chief Wayne Carroll begs to differ.

“It’s not the amount of what he took; it’s his actions that are brought before the court,” Carroll said. “He took his chance and laughed about it up and down Main Street I think we would have lost respect if we had taken any other action.”

I have a lot of respect for Wayne Carroll and his department. But I think he’s got it backward. Here’s a kid who spoke glowingly of Poules and the other young officers in Plymouth, who now vows never to set foot downtown again.

The Stolen Pen Caper is exactly the kind of incident that makes people, particularly youngsters, distrustful of cops. One local law enforcement official told us he would have handled the situation much more differently.

“I would have chased him down and chewed his a— out,” the cop said.

But that’s not what happened here, and Carroll said once the report was filled out, everything else simply followed the normal judicial course. The complaint was written, the prosecutor decid­ed to proceed and the probation department made its recommendation. Judge Mike Gerou, whose job was created because the court docket at the 35th District Court had swollen so badfy, sentenced Savino after he entered his plea.

“You might think it was a joke, but it wasn’t a joke,” Carroll said. “The man had his day in court”

All true enough. Savino certainly could have taken his chances with a trial, but his lawyer advised him not to. As it ends up, his mom is out $300 and, in a year, Savino’s record is cleared of the incident. No harm, no foul, right?

Maybe not. It’s pretty easy to believe Savino and/or his friends were laughing it up, enjoy­ing the joke at the expense of a cop, a claim Savino denies. They certainly wouldn’t be the first kids to do that, and they won’t be the last.

If the idea was to teach the kids a lesson, to show them they can’t “dis” a cop, this case cer­tainly accomplished that. It’s highly unlikely youngsters hanging out in downtown Plymouth will feel comfortable enough with police to interact with them, at least for awhile.

But maybe this should be about more than that. Maybe it should be about justice, about the punishment fitting the crime. A lot of smart people - Poules, Carroll, Gerou, even the kids - were involved in handling this case.

Surely one of them should have realized cases like these are why court dockets are so clogged to begin with.

Menomonee Falls, Wis., - More children would volunteer if more opportunities were cre­ated for them and they were asked, according to a ground­breaking youth volunteerism survey that is the first to poll both volunteering and non-vol­unteering youth on the subject.

Nearly half of children who do not currently volunteer cited the same reason for not doing so; no one asked.Almost seven out of 10 youth who currently do not volunteer would likely do so if opportu­nities were created for them by schools or other organizations, according to the survey, which was conducted on behalf of Kohl’s Department Stores by Teenage Research Unlimited (TRU), one of the country’s leading research firms special­izing in youth.

“The findings of the study demonstrate the importance of creating opportunities and inviting young people to get involved,” said Steven A. Culbertson, president and CEO of Washington D.C.- based Youth Service America, a resource center committed to making youth service the com­mon experience for all youth in America.

‘Today’s youth recognize the benefits of volunteering for their communities as well as themselves, and we can help plant the seeds of lifelong community service by intro­ducing them to volunteer opportunities when they are young,” said Culbertson.

According to the survey, 70 percent of the youth who vol­unteered began doing so before the age of 12, prior to their schedules filling up with other activities. Having the time to volunteer becomes much more of a factor among 15 to 18 year olds than it is among 10 to 14 year olds who do not volunteer.

The survey findings come as Kohl’s Department Stores announces its third annual

Kohl’s Kids Who Care™ vol­unteer recognition program. The program recognizes youth, ages 6-18, for outstanding service to the community with national finalists receiving $5,000 for their post-second- ary education. This is the first year that Kids Who Care™ commissioned a survey that polled young people directly.

‘The Kids Who Care™ pro­gram provides the kind of recognition that encourages even more young people to make a difference in the com­munity,” Culbertson said.

Julie Gardner, senior vice president of marketing at Kohl’s said, “We know that kids volunteer because they want to help someone. Kids Who Care™ is about encour­aging young people to make a difference and have doing it.”

The survey also found that 81 percent of young volunteers started with an activity organ­ized by their school, a club or religious organization.Through their experience, these young volunteers felt they really helped someone else while having fun. They felt better about themselves and planned to continue in volunteer activities. In fact, 85 percent of this year’s young volunteers plan to volunteer next year.

“Creating opportunities for kids to volunteer is key to rais­ing the levels of youth service and spreading the benefits of volunteering,” Culbertson said. “The Kohl’s study quantifies the benefits of creating volun­teer opportunities, which is that more kids will volunteer.”

Kids Who Care™ recog­nizes and rewards kids who volunteer in their communi­ties. Nominees must be between the ages of 6 and 18. Nominees will be judged in two age groups: 6-11 and 12- 18. Nominations forms can be obtained at Kohl’s stores and at www.kohlscorporation.com. The deadline for entries is

March 15, 2003. Kohl’s California stores, which open in March, will accept nomina­tions between March 23 and May 3. National winners will be announced in August.

Two winners will be select­ed at each store — one from each age range — to receive a $50 gift card. Those winners will go on to compete for one of 94 regional scholarships worth $1,000 each. Regional winners will compete for one of the 10 national scholarships worth $5,000 each. In addi­tion, Kohl’s will contribute $1,000 to a non-profit organi­zation on behalf of each national winner.

S h e r i f f i n s t i t u t e s ' d o s e*

O f r e a l i t y ' t e e n p r o g r a m* Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans today announced the cre­ation of a new high-powered program designed to keep at- $sk youth from getting into trouble with the drugs, alcohol and the law.

To help illustrate the conse­quences of this type of behavior, Evans has teamed up with sev­eral prominent local victims groups, each of which will give graphic presentations to tour participants.

“When a juvenile, or even an adult, is heading down the wrong path, often the only thing that will wake them up is a dose of reality,” Evans said. “That’s exactly what we’re calling this new program.”

Using experience from his days turning around the once- trouble - but now nationally accredited - Wayne County Juvenile Detention Facility, Sheriff Evans has assembled a program that speaks to the many temptations youth face today and the potential conse­quences of their decisions.

The daylong program will operate every Thesday- Thursday and include a full spectrum of experiences, including a tour of the County jail, supervised interaction with inmates, time spent in criminal courtrooms and hard-hitting presentations given by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and the anti-violence group, Save Our Sons and Daughters (SOSAD.)

Evans said that this type of nearly intervention is the key to keeping kids out of trouble, or from getting into trouble again.

“By focusing more on effective guidance and training and less on punishment, we have dra­matically reduced juvenile crime in Wayne County over the past several years,” Evans said. “The Dose of Reality Tour should help us cut those numbers even fur­ther by getting kids back on

track before they get too deep into the criminal justice system.”

A powerful way of waking people up to the consequences of their actions is meet face-to- face the victims of crime, or the family members left behind, said SOSAD founder and presi­dent, Clementine Barfield.

“Children know the cruel real­ity of violence and death because they deal with it every day,” said Barfield, “They often times act out with anger and our goal is to guide them safely through their challenging and traumatic time to teach them the embrace peace as their way of life.”

The program also will feature sessions with members of True Life Crusaders and Pioneers for Peace. These individuals suffer from physical and mental impairment as a result of their own criminal behavior or the criminal activity of others.

Participants also will have the opportunity to witness sen­tences being handed down in a courtroom to people who have been convicted of a crime. Thirty-sixth District Court Judge Leona Lloyd said this is a critical - and effective - part of the tour.

“For years I have included reality tours as part of my sen­tencing regiment. In doing so I feel we have saved hundreds of live,” Judge Lloyd said. “It has brought parents closer to their children and helped them to make life-altering decisions.”

The Dose of Reality program accepts individuals from ages 13 through adult. Each class can accommodate up to 30 partici­pants and varies slightly from day to day. The tour accepts class tours orindividual refer­rals from parents or interested teenagers.

SEMCOG suggests RideShare to save on gasAs gas prices rise in

Southeast Michigan, SEMCOG, the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments, sug­gests sharing a ride to work as one way for consumers to keep their commuting costs low.

Can consumers save money by sharing a ride? Absolutely, says SEMCOG. To find out how much, visit SEMCOG’s Web site - www.semcog.org - where a RideShare Cost Savings Calculator is available to calcu­late savings. Locate the calcula­tor under the RideShare logo on the home page.

The calculator asks five sim­ple questions:

1. What is your daily round trip commute distance?

2. How many days per month do you normally work?

3. How many miles per gal­lon does your vehicle average?

4. How much per gallon do you normally pay for gasoline?

5. How much do you pay for monthly parking?

Once these questions are answered, the calculator calcu­lates the savings. And savings are significant. Sharing a ride with one person (assuming a commute of just 20 miles and gas at $1.75 per gallon), annual savings amount to nearly $1,500 per year. Sharing a ride

with three people increases the savings to nearly $2,200 per year. Commuting with a nine- passenger vanpool further increase savings to $2,600 per year.

SEMCOG’s RideShare pro­gram is free, computerized service that matches car and vanpool partners for the daily work commute. Users will be matched with others who share common neighborhoods, work locations and hours. Those who register as earpool or vanpool participants are also eligible for RideShare’s Guaranteed Ride Home Program, which offers taxi fare reimbursement should

an emergency arise during the workday and there is a need to get home in a hurry.

Other benefits of RideShare include reducing congestion, air pollution and energy con­sumption. To find out if the RideShare program will work for you, call (866)510-POOL or complete an application online at www.semcog.org.

The 2000 Census revealed that 84 percent (or 1.9 million) of Southeast Michigan workers age 16 or older drive to work alone.

Nine percent (or 20,000) commute to work via earpool or vanpool.

Red Cross launches ‘ Together We Prepare'The Southeastern Michigan Chapter of

the American Red Cross is celebrating Red Cross Month this March by launching a new campaign called “Together We Prepare Michigan.”

The Southeastern Michigan Chapter joins more than 1,000 American Red Cross chap­ters, Blood Services regions and Armed Forces Emergency Services stations nation­wide in working to make the United States safer from disaster.

The Southeastern Michigan Chapter is encouraging local residents to join a grass­

roots effort to make sure southeast Michigan is better prepared should disaster strike by doing five simple things: make a plan, build a kit, get trained, volunteer and give blood.

“With the possibility of war, terrorist attacks, natural disasters and everyday emer­gencies, being prepared can help save lives,” says Jim Laverty, CEO of the Southeastern Michigan Chapter.

“These five actions of‘Together We Prepare’ will help metro Detroit residents make their homes, schools, workplaces and communities safer.”

“The Red Cross is in nearly eveiy commu­nity across the country, so we are well-posi­tioned to organize preparedness activities,” says Laverty.

“Every individual has the opportunity to play an important role. When we come together we become something bigger than us all ” For more information on “Together We Prepare,” including how to make a plan, build a kit, get trained, volunteer and give blood, visit www.semredcross.org.

Unparalleled athleticism and a particularly famous piece of choreography are headed to town.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, known for its unsurpassed physical verve, is set to perform its epony­mous founder’s signature work Revelations, as well as other pieces, March 13-16 at the Detroit Opera House.

Revelations, which now- deceased Alvin Ailey choreo­graphed in I960, is an American classic, the Swan Lake of modern dance, if you will.

“Revelations is one of my all-time favorites,” said Ann Bak, company manager of Eisenhower Dance Ensemble in Rochester and a former member of the troupe. “It is just a wonderful historic work, and I am so glad they still perform it.”

Set to traditional black spirituals, Revelations explores themes of religion and spirituality, translating transcendence into move-

Mick Gavin says traditionally St. Patrick’s Day has been a time for boozin’ in America, but he’s changing that. Every year crowds have grown at his celebration of Irish music and dance. This weekend the Redford fiddler has organized two separate events — Sunday, March 16, at The Ark in Ann Arbor, and his annual St. Patrick’s Day Irish Fest Monday, March 17, at Hellenic Cultural Center in Westland. Both feature live music and beautifully costumed step dancers.

“If you can’t make it on St. Patrick’s Day on Monday, you can catch us on Sunday at The Ark,” said Gavin, who will play traditional Irish music with sons Mike and Sean. Gavin immigrated to the U.S. in 1974 and several years later patterned the Irish Fest after St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in his native land. “On Monday, we’re going to

went on to influence all the painters, sculp­tors, draftsmen. Michelangelo had a great impact on art the next 100 years”

Lush oils, magnificent porcelains and sculpture illustrate the significant contri­butions as well of the first four Grand Dukes, who ruled Tuscany from 1537 to 1631. Cosimo I, his sons Francesco I and Ferdinando I, and grandson Cosimo II recognized the ability of the arts to paint a picture of power. Originally a family of bankers and merchants, the Medici knew in order to maintain control over the citi­zens of Tuscany they must be seen as patrons of the arts. Commissions for new buildings and the treasures to fill them kept artists and architects profitably engaged. At the same time, opulent por­traits of duchesses such as Eleonora of Toledo, Cosimo I’s wife, symbolized the wealth and dominance of the Medici dynasty.

PATRONAGE

“Even though the Medici reign began in the 1400s and lasted into the 17th century, we wanted to narrow it down, to show the birth of their patronage and through the most impressive period of the Medici dynasty supporting the arts,” Darr said. “We anchored the show with Michelangelo. There are three sculptures including a crucifix, one of his last works. Michelangelo was elevated in his lifetime to a place of respect. He was celebrated as divine and teacher of all artists.”

As Darr walks through the 17 galleries one by one, the story of Late Renaissance Florence evolves. Bronzino, Vasari, Giambologna and Cellini were all major

artists of the period. The first dramati­cally showcases the DIA’s own magnifi­cent painting of Eleonora of Toledo against a burgundy wall. Nine works from the collection are shown in the exhibit. One of the most impressive is a porcelain Ewer purchased in 2000.

“Bronzino’s Young Man with a Lute on the catalog cover shows influence of Michelangelo,” Darr said. “There are 180 works. Drawings rotate each venue. We’ve got wonderful drawings.”

Darr has arranged the galleries to cover subjects such as Cosimo I and his support of the arts, a form of propaganda he used to legitimize the family’s rule. The sig- nange in Gallery One tells the interesting story of his rise to power from the young age of 17-

Each of the galleries focuses on a specif­

ic area -- sculptors and painters at the Medici Court, tapestry production, the waning of the Renaissance and rise of Baroque, and followers of Michelangelo.

FIRSTS

“Cosimo I and Michelangelo co-founded the First Academy of Art, where students were instructed to study drawings of Michelangelo,” Darr said. “The Medici reign saw a number of firsts. They were the first in Europe to refine techniques for porcelain production, the first to establish a major tapestry manufactory in Italy.”

Paintings on copper, inlay work includ­ing a cabinet with drawer fronts featuring animals crafted from stone, and a moving painting of St. George and the Dragon are among the treasures created under the patronage of the Medici. During the Late Renaissance in Florence the family spent a fortune on paintings for the Studiolo of Francesco I — a vaulted room filled with art, and stunning sculptures of Hercules and Venus for the gardens at Medici Villa. Darr covers them all in the exhibition.

Gallery 13 focuses on the story of Christine and Ferdinando. Here paintings tell of soccer games where teams wore his and her colors, and a wedding celebration that lasted two weeks. A mock sea battle in a flooded street and a variety of banquets, balls and theatrical events brought costs for the royal nuptials to $7 million in today’s money.

Magnificenza! showcases marvelous works too numerous to mention, includ­ing Michelangelo’s recently discovered drawing of a candelabra thought to be designed for a royal tomb. It will be unveiled Sunday, March 16, when the exhibit opens in Detroit. Until then, Darr’s keeping the fragile work hidden from light.

Behind the scenes of Magnificenza

B Y L IN D A A N N CH0M INSTAFF WRITER

Visitors to Magnificenza might not realize the years of planning and work that goes into organizing an exhibit of this scope.

Eleven days before the open­ing, couriers streamed in one by one with pieces for the exhibit at the Detroit Institute of Arts. In the galleries crews installed sculpture and paint­ings amidst works waiting to be unpacked from large crates.

Project director Alan Darr seemed calm in the midst of all the preparations. He’d begun planning for this moment in 1995 with Marco Chiarini, former director of the Pitti Gallery in Florence. Together they approached the Art Institute of Chicago and Larry Feinberg, curator of European painting, who agreed to join the project to present Magnificenza! The Medici, Michelangelo and The A rt o f Late Renaissance Florence in Florence, Italy, Chicago and Detroit.

An exhibit of this scope requires an enormous amount of funding. Grants from the National Endowment for the

Humanities and National Endowment for the Arts made the exhibit possible, along with major sponsorship from Bank One Foundation, a natural fit since the Medici were bankers before coming to power.

“Particularly at this time with budget cuts, this a relevant exhibit. The Medici’s patronage of the arts kept them alive,” said Darr, who fell in love with many of the exhibit’s works while studying for his doctorate in Europe. Darr joined the staff of the DIA in 1978.

“We wanted to do something that hasn’t been done before, focus on a period that’s not been studied much in English literature. Detroit has a long­standing relationship with Florence since the 1966 flood when Detroit sent aid. The DIA ' also has one of the best Italian art collections outside of Europe.

“The Italians wanted to focus on a narrower period of time, but I didn’t want it to be too scholarly. You don’t have to be a scholar to appreciate the beauty and power represented by these artists.”

Copperfield says show is about fantasy and aweBY LANA MINISTAFF WRITER

Life for David Copperfield right now is about dreams that come true.

Fantasy is his theme in perform­ances David Copperfield: An Intimate Evening o f Grand Illusion coming to the Fox Theatre March 14-16.

On his cell phone from a Las Vegas restaurant, the popular magician said the dreamy idea for his current tour makes sense to him.

“A good dream isn’t about Jialf of your fantasies coming true, it’s about perfection,” Copperfield said. “Everyone has dreams of finding the perfect love, driving the perfect car, winning the lottery...this show is about what it would look like if those dreams came true.”

He said the strongest reaction from audiences currently is the car

sequence of the show. He won’t give away further details, but he will talk about the emotion he wants audi­ences to experience from his per­formance.

“Laughter, tears, joy, excitement - it’s all in this show. It’s about telling stories...in one segment an audience member will be reconciled with a long lost loved one.”

But there’s more. Reunion, he said, is one of the most startling illu­sions he’s created.

While standing on the arm of a crane Copperfield will be suspended over the audience. The participating audience member will disappear and then will reappear moments later in the selected location of their dreams - be it Honolulu or Hackensack.

And in typical Copperfield pizzazz, the show will have sex appeal.

In the segment called

Shortchange Copperfield will

W t 111' dive into thedreams of men across America -

C o p p e rfie ld where he’ll magi­cally remove a per­

sonal piece of clothing from two women in the audience.

The illusion isn’t too risque, it’s OK to bring the kids.

“My shows are always suitable for the whole family but it’s not white­washed to the point of being uncool,” Copperfield said. “It has a sexiness to it in a VHl or MTV sort of way.”

Another segment titled Killer involves his magic with a black African scorpion. This illusion is the most dangerous he’s ever performed he said.

With today’s technology it takes a lot impress an audience, he said.

Floating through the air, and through steel and making 13 audi­ence members vanish are other highlights. But does the magician ever long for the days when pulling a rabbit from a hat was impressive?

“Not at all,” Copperfield said. “In some ways today’s technology can make things easier, but in more oth­ers it’s more challenging.

“I’ve loved magic since I was a kid, I’m always looking for the most exciting illusions.”

And is he a magician or an illu­sionist?

“If you say you’re an illusionist you get paid 20 percent more,” he said. “And it brings me to places like the Fox Theatre...it’s a beautiful venuefor a show.”\

have a half a dozen pipers from the Windsor Police Band led by Bill Baird, and a mixture of Scottish and Irish music.

“We’re going to celebrate on St. Patrick’s Day itself just like we have for the last 18 years. There’s something for everyone. It’s really for families, but we have seniors, everybody. Children are welcome and we don’t charge for children. We, bring in a lot of musicians, dancers. The children can watch the dancing and then dance themselves. Mom and dad can have corned beef and cabbage and sit back and listen to the music.”

When they’re done eating, they might want to burn off the calories by kicking up their heels. Carolyn Brazzil makes Irish step dancing sound sim­ple. She’ll be on hand to show guests how it’s done. And les­sons are free with admission.

‘All you have to be able to do is count to three and seven,” said Brazzil, a Windsor resident who grew up in Redford. Brazzil began dancing 15 years ago. By day she works in administration for Berkley Public Schools.

“Step dancing is Irish folk dancing ” she said. “In Ireland

it’s what people did on Saturday nights for entertain­ment. Different counties — Clare, Kerry — had different sets. It’s the origin of American square dancing, changing part­ners, swinging. It’s lots of ftm.If you mess up, we just laugh.”

Brazzil says if she could learn to step dance, anyone can. She didn’t start until after years of shuttling her daughters to les­sons with Michael and Tim O’Hare at their Irish dance school, then located in Plymouth. They now have loca­tions in Birmingham and Westland.

After learning the basics, Brazzil traveled to Ireland to study at the Willie Clancey School in County Clare. Later she learned authentic steps during a tour of Ireland with San Francisco dancer Larry Lynch. Thursday nights she teaches dancing to ages 4 to 70 at the White Heather Club in Ferndale, where she often shares a little history about the most celebrated Irish holiday.

“I equate St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland to our Thanksgiving,” Brazzil said. “People go to church and there are family cel­ebrations. Growing up in my house, St. Patrick’s Day was a big holiday. You had to be dressed head to toe in green and shamrocks. I was raised proud to be an Irish American.

I’m 100 percent Irish American, fourth generation, and proud of it.”

BRASS BAND

Deb Koepele is one-quarter Irish, and just as proud. The Canton resident plays flugel- horn with the Motor City Brass Band Sunday, March 16, at Southfield Centre for the Arts. The annual Irish Spectacular features songs like Molly on the Shore, The Girl I Left Behind, Annie Laurie, Irish Blessing and an Irish medley including Cockles and Mussels, Irish Washerwoman, Danny Boy and Wearin’ of the Green. Guesting on the program is the five-piece traditional Irish band Modesty Forbids.

Motor City Brass Band plays 20 to 30 concerts a year, including a series of four at the Southfield Center for the Arts. Members include lawyers, engi­neers, businessmen, a dentist, veterinarian and college stu­dents. Several members are music educators and retired band directors. Koepele is a music therapist.

“It’s become a tradition,” Koepele said. “It’s neat to cele­brate. It’s our most well-attend­ed concert and appeals to all ages. There’s music there for everybody.”

REVELATIONSFROM PAGE B1

ment in a way that gets audi­ences caught up in the ascen­sion. Indeed, it’s not unusual for audience members to respond with calls and shouts during the piece.

“It’s very engaging,” Bak said. “It’s one of those pieces that you always want to see.”

Revelations is slated for all but Thursday evening’s Detroit performances. Alvin Ailey Dance Theater has several newer works set for its Detroit shows, too.

Apex, a one-act piece planned for Thursday evening’s program, addresses the plight of refugees and topical themes like violence in society. Words are projected on to surfaces during the performance, and there’s also a vocal tract. The piece unquestionably has a

dark tone with a finger pointed at corruption in society.

Prayers from the Edge, a Romeo and Juliet story with a tribalistic tone, is slated for Wednesday and Saturday evening shows. Dancers don red or gold costumes, denot­ing group membership. And, while the piece begins with a “Prayer for Power,” it ends optimistically with a “Prayer for Peace.” The choreography by Lynne Taylor-Corbett is set to music from Peter Gabriel’s album Passion, befitting a company known for tapping the full spectrum of musical genres, from jazz to gospel to rock.

Such virtuosity is one of the reasons audiences embrace the company with such excitement, said David DiChiera, general director at Michigan Opera Theatre, which hosted the troupe two years ago.

“The response is almost hys­

terical,” he said. “I think it’s the combination of how they build on such a great tradition of dance and bring together such an array of musical styles.”

The Winter in Lisbon, planned for several Detroit performances, is yet another example of the company’s fer­vor for music. The 1992 work by choreographer Billy Wilson pays tribute to jazz great Dizzy Gillespie and is set to his music. Colorful costumes and sassy dancing make Lisbon a crowd favorite.

“It’s a sweet, fun piece, very high-energy,” Bak said of Lisbon.

Then again, everything Alvin Ailey Dance Theater does could be described as high-energy, considering its technical skill and passion, Bak added. “They really pull some­thing out of the choreography.”

Brahms' German Requiem center of Livonia Symphony concert

Conductor Volodymyr Shesiuk leads a rehearsal of the Livonia Symphony Orchestra.

The Livonia Symphony Orchestra’s final concert of the season will be a big one as it teams up with 80 voices of the Ward Presbyterian Church choir on Saturday, March 15. The 80 voice choir under the direction of Carole Halmekangas has a reputation for performing excellent liturgi­cal music.

The concert titled O f Kings and Resurrection features A German Requiem by Johannes Brahms which is considered the first major success of the com­poser’s career. It is ranked by many “as the loftiest music ever given to the world.”

In addition to the orchestra and choir conducted by Volodymyr Shesick, the concert showcases the magnificent Ward organ with choir director Carole Halmekangas at the console and soloists Yvonne Walsh, soprano and Ken Casey, baritone.

Robert Bennett, president of the LSO anticipates “this con­cert to be magnificent with the combined affect of orchestra, choir, and organ coupled with the beauty and marvelous acoustics of the church nave” - “to say nothing about the Brahms music,” he declares.

Also on the concert program are works from two other giant composers; the Overture to King Stephen by Ludwig Von

the goal is to provide a functional, desirable and memorable living space,Teich Davis Interiors accomplishes th a t with the three models a t Links at Fellows Creek, attached condominiums in Canton.

Consider th a t Teich Davis provides the icing on the cake - the homes - built by Robertson Brothers Group.

“You w ant it to have qual­ity things,” said Rick Anthony Bonner, the interi­or designer who spearhead­ed the project for the Ferndale-based firm. “It’s a reflection on the builder.

“The ultim ate goal is to make the environment such so people feel they want to live there - a place they could live - and they remem ber it. There’s so many model homes out th e re ... sometimes it gets blurry. We like to do unique things so people remember,”Bonner said.

At Fellows Creek, peoplewill rem em ber the king-sized beds piled high w ith pillows in the m aster suites. They will rem em ber formal dining room tables set with fancy goblets and plates containing real and sim ulated food stuff.

EXTRA TOUCH«■

They will rem em ber oils, spices, vegetables, noodles and canned goods, again real and simulated, perched on kitchen counters, sinks and ranges.

They will rem em ber inviting b a th ­rooms with large towels, brushes, soaps and shampoos.

And candles - “they give a w arm feeling,” Bonner said - everywhere.

Each of the th ree ranch models a t the Links at Fellows Creek has a slightly different them e - casual trad i­tional, Asian and formal.

The casual features an en terta in­m ent center cabinet, two sofas and several chairs in the living room. The same drapery pattern unifies the liv­ing room and dining area.

The second bedroom is decorated as

an office with two chairs on opposite sides o f a desk, a sim ulated TV opposite.

The casual home includes painted walls in th e living room, grass cloth wall covering in the library and wallpaper in the laundry and baths.

M atching end tables and lam ps are on either side o f a king-sized bed in the master.

Bonner’s philosophy: “In the bedroom, I really like it to feel sum ptuous with a bed you w ant to go into. We really like to acces­sorize baths quite a bit, give alm ost a spa quality.”

The Asian influence model includes artw ork and a decorative kimono on the walls of the m ain living areas, reed shoots in vases, chopsticks on the dining room table and silk bedding in th e m aster.

INVITING LOOK

This hom e also showcases a large, bronze-tinted m irror in the dining area, black-and-white appliances and cabinets in the kitchen, a small dry bar in the living room and a com bination guest bedroom /com puter room.

Dual-use spaces are especially appropriate for smaller hom es and condominiums, Bonner said.

The closet is often targeted - sometimes with sighs or shud­ders - w hen thoughts o f spring cleaning appear, or when “to do” lists are compiled.

But a visit to Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills could change that.

A new tour, Out of the Closet, debuts this week at Meadow Brook Hall. The tour will grant access to many areas of the m ansion th a t had been off lim­its to the public, such as closets, bathroom s, secret vaults and staircases.

M eadow Brook Hall’s magnif­icent artworks and furnishings have been on view for tourists

since 1971.But O ut of the Closet is an

opportunity for visitors to see more personal, everyday details of the Dodge and Wilson family life.

“It’s a lot o f fun,” said Sally Victor, interim director of Meadow Brook Hall.

To celebrate the new tour, and officially launch Meadow Brook Hall’s local featured artist series, a gallery opening and reception will take place Thursday, M arch 13 (see related article).

Victor said the new tou r came about when a group of M eadow Brook Hall staffers walked

through th e mansion, looking in closets and opening doors. Some o f the areas hadn’t been opened in 10 or 15 years.

‘W e started to really get talk­ing about th e idea th a t w hat people are m ost interested in is to see how (the residents) lived,” Victor said.

M eadow Brook Hall was the hom e o f M atilda Dodge Wilson, widow o f autom obile pioneer John Dodge, and her second husband, lum ber broker Alfred W ilson. I t was built between 1926 and 1929.

ARTIST SERIES

The series will showcase the works o f local artists in M eadow Brook Hall’s Cafe Cappuccino and Fountain Room.

All o f the displayed works will be available for purchase.A new artist will be featured every th ree m onths.

Lorraine Leigh will be the first featured artist, as h er pho­

tographs o f M eadow Brook Hall are exhibited.

“M atilda Dodge W ilson was a huge patron o f the arts, and especially interested in discov­ering and supporting local artists,” V ictor said.

“I t is only fitting th a t as we kick off our new O ut o f the Closet tours, ou r first featured artist, Lorraine Leigh, focuses her w ork on Meadow Brook Hall - unveiling the secrets and stories o f th e past.”

“I w anted to focus attention on th e stunning detail and craftsm anship th a t m ight be otherwise overshadowed by th e sheer im m ensity o f the Hall,” said Leigh, a Rochester Hills resident. “I especially w anted to help others see the intim ate qualities th a t m ade th is a warm, livable home.

“Once you move beyond the initial awe o f th e size and scale, you realize th a t this is no t an austere place - it’s a cozy, fam i­ly-oriented dwelling th a t pays tribu te to th e artisan’s skill.”

“We buy everything directly from furniture manufacturers,”

Bonner said. “Some accessories we get locally.”

Some furniture - coffee/dis- play tables in th e middle o f a living room, for instance - are custom designed and built, he added.

“We don’t like to dum b down models,” Bonner said. “We w ant to show people w hat can be w ithout being too crazy.

“They (prospective buyers) come in and say, W e could move th a t couch from here to there.’ They really do use it as a visual tool.”

Bonner offers a couple of general decorating tips from his experiences.

“Plan ahead. W hat’s the rule about cutting wood - m easure twice. M ake sure furniture fits the space. A m ajor th ing to th ink about is lighting, too - lamps, built-ins.”

S oon it will be tim e to fu r­nish our gardens with suit­able pieces so we can have a

restful place to sit while adm ir­ing our beautiful gardens.

Garden furniture comes in many colors - black, gray, blue, pink, red, green, lavender, white and m any more.

It also is made o f many dif­ferent materials, from logs to the newest m anm ade products. O ther materials in use include wrought iron, tubing, cast iron,

alum inum, wood, wicker, resins and poly. Plastics such as m ilk containers are recycled into furniture.

Styles range from rustic to very sleek, and there is som e­th ing for every garden situa­tion no m atter w hat the size of the area.

Before you buy anything, take a stroll around your property to see where a table and chairs, o r a single chair or bench, will be placed.

As you shop, th ink of the pros and cons for each type and consider style, size, color, and how much care it will need.

Fabric cushions, if they aren’t waterproof, may need to be taken indoors in inclem ent weather and a storage space will need to be found. If furni­ture is to be taken indoors for the winter, space will also be needed. You may wish to cover it for protection.

Wooden pieces need to be painted or stained regularly, and when w rought-iron furni­ture needs repainting, it can be a costly project, especially if done by a professional.

Sling chairs, captain’s chairs and old-fashioned deck chairs will eventually need to have the fabric replaced. They do fold easily for storage, as do those made of alum inum. A new chair on the m arket is the Catskill Sling Adirondack by GPI Casual. I t has a UV-resist- an t material sling back and seat

as opposed to wood.Poly and resin furniture will

need to be washed often, some­times scrubbed if they aren’t cleaned regularly. They can be left out all year round. Redwood, teak and white cedar are durable and last for years, and can be protected with a sealant, stained or painted. Redwood turns brownish and teak and cedar tu rn gray when left to weather naturally.

Aluminum furniture is light in weight and can be left out all winter. Care is minimal, other than needing an occasional wash.

No m atter w hat type of furni­tu re you choose, look for well- constructed and sturdy pieces. It’s no fun to sit in a chair and have it collapse!

FINDING THE SITE

Let your imagination guide you as you choose where the new (or refurbished) furniture will fit in your garden.

Color is such a personal choice, you m ight w ant to paint the furniture to m atch the col­ors in the flowers.

You won’t need a lot of space for a pretty bistro table and two chairs. This will provide ample room to visit w ith a friend or to have lunch on a sunny day.

I saw two purple Adirondack chairs placed on the lawn at Chanticleer in Pennsylvania - w hat a pleasant surprise! We had our boring, cream wrought-iron furniture painted a soft W illiamsburg blue and enjoy it often. The flowers in the umbrella match.

Tuck a chair or two near a

trellis where afternoon shade provides a cool retreat. Make several areas around the garden into places where furniture will allow you to enjoy each differ­ent part of the garden.

The benches we see in the front gardens or on porches are so inviting and also provide a place to set container gardens for a bright touch.

I t’s im portant to place furni­ture on a level surface. A small area can be paved in many ways. Brick, pavers, flat stones, cement, cement formed and colored to represent bricks or stones, a large slab o f granite, or wood chips are all suitable.

Finish the edges o f the area with low plants or another attractive material so the sur­face blends with the surround­ing edges such as grass.

Measure so the size is right, or actually set the furniture in the spot before constructing the base.

W hat a treat it would be to walk around the garden and come upon a welcome place to sit and enjoy. This may be ju s t the spot to encourage visitors as well as the gardener to “take tim e to smell the roses.”

GOOD GARDEN TIP

Prune fruit trees - apple, peach and pear - now before the sap starts to move. Wait until early summer to prune ornamental trees.

yf ' everal million refrigerators are sold every year in this country.

A small 30-m inute job may prevent you from having to add to th a t statistic by dishing out your hard earned m oney to purchase a new refrigerator or go through a very expensive

repair. You don’t need to be a trained appliance repair techni­cian to do th is job. In fact, m ost consumers can do the job them ­selves.

A dirty condenser or compressor area can cause the unit to ru n under extrem e high

hea t tem peratures and eventu­ally b u rn out the compressor. A replacem ent com pressor installed on your beautiful refrigerator can exceed $500. Q uite often a dirty condenser is th e prim e cause for such fail­ure.

W hat do you th ink about m aking sure it doesn’t happen to you? The following neces­sary step in refrigerator m ain­tenance should be done three tim es a year and all you need is a little muscle.

The first step is moving the refrigerator out away from the wall, using care no t to damage the floor surface. If there is a w ater line hooked up to the back side for the ice m aker and w ater dispenser, m ake sure there is plenty o f slack line to allow movement w ithout snap­ping the line.

Once the product is moved and you have plenty o f room to

kneel down behind it, get out the vacuum cleaner and a long handle condenser brush avail­able from your local hardw are store. Remove the cardboard backing piece at the bottom rear section which is held in place by clips or screws.

Pull the electrical plug out o f the wall and get on th e back side or underneath the refrig­erator.

Using the vacuum attach­m ent and the long condenser brush, clean it out as clean as you can. Make sure you don’t bend or h it the fan blade and bend it, bu t do m ake sure the blade surface is free from lin t or hair buildup.

Remove the front toe plate and clean from the front area as well. I f the drain pan is removable, take it out to the kitchen sink and wash it w ith soap and detergent and sprin­kle some peroxide in it before you put it back into place.

Remember th a t the cleaner the underside o f your refrigera­to r is, the less the com pressor runs, thereby saving you costs in energy consumption. The refrigerator will keep m uch better tem peratures and the compressor will last a lot longer.

The cardboard cover you removed may look quite a b it dingy, but please p u t it back on when you are finished clean­ing. It was installed to deflect the air in a certain direction and you do not w ant to d isturb th a t air flow.

W ithout proper air flow and an overheated compressor, the cost of operating the refrigera­tor can increase by as m uch a $10 extra per m onth. I f you have linoleum and you discov­er a brown spot on it under the refrigerator, do not be con­cerned.

This is due to the oil in the

Without proper air flow and an overheated compressor, the cost of operating the refrigerator can increase by as much a $10 extra per month.

linoleum being draw n to the surface. I t is not a fire hazard.

A fter you have the jo b done, slide the refrigerator back into place. A djust the front legs so th a t th e front o f the box is 1/2- inch higher than the rear. This will allow the doors to close by themselves and give you a bet­te r door seal.

This wasn’t such a big job after all, was it? You can con­sider how you m ay have ju s t added several m ore years o f life to your product and feel pretty darn good about doing it. We have h ad a cold hard w inter b u t i t won’t be long before the refrigerator compressor has to com pete with it’s w orst deadly enemy, high kitchen heat.

Keep th a t refrigerator ru n ­ning a t optimal levels by keep­ing th e condenser clean. Just th ink about how m any people in th is country who don’t know w hat you do right now.

T hat half hour didn’t really cost you anything, it saved you a lo t o f money so take ou t th a t special person for d inner and tell them how sm art you are. Stay tuned.

AFCIs add protection against electrical fires

K n o w w h i c h r e c e i p t s y o u s h o u l d k e e p

Harry

H omeowners now have a new defense against elec­trical fires beyond con­

ventional fuses and circuit breakers. Arc fault circuit

interrupters are now avail­able to home- owners looking for more pro­tection from fires.

The 1999 National Electric Code requires AFCIs on all branch circuits servic­ing bedrooms in new con­struction after Jan. 1,2001, but it’s been

my experience tha t many local communities still don’t require them yet.

HOW AFCI WORKS

AFCIs replace regular circuit breakers in your home’s elec­tric panel. They have a com­puter chip th a t monitors the electrical flow. W hen the AFCI recognizes an arc fault, it shuts down the flow in a fraction of a second.

W here a ground fault inter­rupter (GFI) protects you from a shock, an AFCI protects your house from a fire.

Normally, when a hot wire

makes contact with ground or a neutral wire, there is enough current draw in the circuit to trip the breaker or blow a fuse. Problems can arise when this contact is not solid or in ter­m ittent, and then, an arc (or spark) develops which could cause a fire.

Arcs m ost often occur when the insulation on wires breaks down. This allows a wire to be exposed to another wire o r a ground source.

Sometimes this will happen when a heavy object is set on a cord in such a way th a t it dam ­ages the insulation. More often wire insulation is com­promised between walls or floors, often by animals chew­ing on the wires or other physi­cal damage. These out-of sight arcs are the most dangerous.

MANY FIRES BEGIN

Do you need them ?According to the National

Fire Protection Association, about 40 percent of home fires are caused by eroded wire insu­lation. The protection normally afforded by traditional fuses, cir­cuit breakers or GFIs will not protect against arc induced fires. This amounts to numerous injuries, lost property and more important, lives.

Can you install one?I’ll answer this with a very

qualified yes, but only if you’re

Q.: I try to keep m y receipts from purchases, b u t am am azed a t how m uch paper th a t is. W hat do I need to keep and w hat can I toss?

A: Paper clutter accum u­lates faster than dust bu n ­nies! Your goat is to keep receipts for item s you may need to re turn , m ajor pu r­

chases, and purchases you charged.

The im por­ta n t th ing to rem em ber is to set up a system th a t works for you and then w ork a t it.

■ Receipts for item s you may need to return:

Keep these receipts in your billfold until you are

sure you don’t have to re tu rn any o f the objects. This works well for clothing receipts and household items.

Periodically go through your billfold and discard receipts you no longer need. I f you accum ulate too m any for your billfold, use an envelope labeled R eturn Receipts.

■ Receipts for item s rarely returned:

Keep receipts for things like groceries and dry cleaning for a short period o f time. You may need to re tu rn a grocery item or take back dry cleaning th a t wasn’t properly cleaned.

Tales of an infrequent flierY ou could almost see the

luggage rack tied to the top o f the airplane.

Our family headed out for vacation, a long weekend in Florida. Though we were accustomed to traveling, those occasions had always been reserved for business, sport o r family, and we had always traveled by autom o­bile.

This family trip would m ark my first airline flight in four years.

Unlike me, my husband is a frequent flier. He calmly held th e family together as we boarded our luxury air­liner, found our seats in coach and prepared for our departure.

O ur daughter im mediate­ly found her window seat; our sons were too excited with the anticipation of sunny w arm weather and a Yankees training camp base­ball game to worry about anything.

Everyone in my family was calm and excited. Everyone, th a t is, except me.

There hasn’t been a legal sedative formulated th a t would calm me down.Jittery and nervous, I scanned the cabin. The plane looked well pu t together, the flight atten­dants stood happily, wel­coming other passengers on board.

They seemed like they did this th ing called flying every day!

As the airplane rose into the air, every little noise heightened my awareness.

Sitting next to my hus­band, I hear a roar.

“W hat’s th a t noise?” Y clutch my seat in a m om ent o f panic.

My husband, engrossed in his book, looked up calmly. “That noise would be engines,” he replied.

I gasp. “Is tha t a good sound?” I now see th a t fear had locked up my brain and the synapse of logic was fail­ing.

I know m y husband w ould have been entitled to laugh a t tha t question, bu t he d id­n’t.

“Yeess,” he slowly answered. “I would say th a t hearing th e engines would be a good sound.”

Then came the bumps, our plane hopping and dropping through the air. I clutched my husband’s arm ;I mopped the sweat from m y brow.

“W hat was that?” I asked. “Is th a t norm al?” The drop came again. My daughter sat calmly across the aisle, lis­tening to her CD, doodling in her notebook, scrawling “I Love Gymnastics” as the unsettled a ir banged us around.

Next to me, my son chewed on his fourth serv­ing o f Airheads. One row back, our oldest engrossed in a Vonnegut novel.

The plane continued to buinp. I wiped my sweaty palms on m y jeans.

The flight attendants calmly grilled steaks and boiled lobster for the first- class passengers. Back in coach, passengers enjoyed cold drinks and a bag o f pretzels.

As the plane calmed down, as the captain assured us we were less than 20 minutes from our destina­tion, I began to relax. I began to th ink more logical­ly-

I began to understand that engine sounds were a good thing, I began to real­ize th a t if the flight a tten­dants could give first-class passengers a foot massage and uncork a wine bottle, all while bum ping through th e air I, too, could enjoy the flight.

Home service delivers grocery goodiesBusiness built on bringing necessities to its clientsBY KIMBERLY M0RTS0NSTAFF WRITER

W hen Bill Ansara made visits to his g randfather’s W estland apartm ent, he never went em pty-handed. M ost occasions, he would bring an armful o f groceries for the elderly m an who is rem em bered as “strong- minded,” b u t was lim ited in his ability to shop for him self due to his age.

I t wasn’t long before his grandfather’s elderly neighbors started asking Bill if he would do the sam e for them . Twenty- one years later, the Redford resident is president o f Residential Grocery Service Inc., a Livonia-based business to which Bill, his wife, Norma, and three children, Billy Jr., Jim m y and Steve, devote their lives.

RGS has worked w ith Value Center Food M arket on Six Mile for th e past four years where it operates a personal­ized shopping/delivery service for individuals, families and senior citizens.

Their custom er-driven busi­ness stream lines the grocery shopping process through a 50 ,000-item (nam e brand and Spartan brand) selection o f * fresh produce, meats, deli, baked goods, canned foods, dairy, prepared foods, cleaning products, personal hygiene products and paper/household goods. They also offer a 1,000 products for people with spe­cial dietary needs, including sugar-free, low-sodium and low-calorie items.

“This is a very emotional sub­jec t to me,” said Bill, who start­ed a sim ilar business m ore than two decades ago, bu t had little success. “I t has taken me a long tim e to find a grocery supplier to w ork w ith me, to get the com puter software together and to prove to people tha t we’re reliable and honest and genuinely real.”

After his initial attem pt a t the delivery service, Bill and his five brothers operated Som ething Different, a W estland party store th a t lived up to its nam e. The store fea­tu red traditional convenience store products as well as a deli goods and a line o f jewelry.

“They were pretty lim ited in w hat they could offer in a party store so it was always my dad’s goal to branch out and get involved m ore w ith people,” said Billy A nsara Jr. “He’s back a t square one now and has finally found the right combi­nation w ith the store and loca­tion to m ake it work.”

The process was designed to be as convenient for clients as possible, shifting the responsi­bility onto RGS staff to fill

orders, complete paperwork and deliver goods.

According to Billy Jr., a cus­tomer (there are no eligibility requirements to use this serv­ice) calls RGS and makes an appointm ent for a hom e visit. Potential clients are given an extensive “grocery list” divided into 27 product categories. Clients check off the items they want, including size and quan­tity.

Value Center M arket is a Spartan brand store so person­al shoppers then choose the products a t the best price unless otherwise noted by the client.

“If someone wants m acaroni and cheese and Spartan brand is four for $1 we’ll buy those unless the custom er specifically asks for K raft’s brand,” said Billy Jr.

ORDER, P LEA S E

After RGS receives the gro­cery list, N orm a Ansara, Bill’s wife of 25 years, enters the order into the com puter and then a personal shopper does all the legwork in the store to fill the order. According to Bill, the same person processes the order each week, so shoppers become fam iliar w ith the pref­erences and brands custom ers like and want. W ithin two- three days, the order is deliv­ered in refrigerated trucks by uniform ed drivers who bring the o rder in bags stored in plas­tic totes.

“H alf the truck is 20 degrees below zero and the refrigerated side is 35 degrees so frozen foods stay frozen and produce and meats keep cool and fresh,” added Billy Jr., 21, who over­

sees m arketing and delivery.A m inim um $75 order m ust

be placed and the delivery charge is $20.

“I’ll never grocery shop again since I found this service,” said Sharon Yesh o f Plymouth.

The 46-year-old suffers from a physical handicap th a t cur­rently limits her ability to get out and do things for herself, things she says at one tim e she was accustomed to doing.

“I used to work in the theate r as a designer. I worked 20 hours a day and would have loved this service even before I couldn’t get around,” said Yesh. “I have tried for the last two years to find a grocery store to deliver and couldn’t.”

Yesh said her 80-year-old m other brought her a local newspaper where she read an article about Residential Grocery Service.

“Everyone I have talked to has been so nice on the phone. They’ll look for the best price for you because they have Spartan brands or buy brand names, if you have specific ones you like, like I do for coffee.”

Yesh said she also has to m aintain a low-sodium diet because o f her limited activities and found the dietary selection outstanding.

“How can you beat this?They do all the work for you, deliver it and carry it into your house for $20,” said Yesh. “I can’t believe more people won’t take advantage of this service once they hear about it.”

PROUD O F CHILDREN

Bill said he’s proud of his

children’s involvement w ith the family business. Billy Jr. said his brother, Jimmy, 16, has been working on the businesses com puter system since he was in the fifth grade. The Thurston H igh School student also designed th e company’s Web site. B rother Steve, 14, also a T hurston student, works as a processing assistant and deliv­ery person.

“We are a close family w ith strong values,” said Billy Jr., who attends Davenport College and produces music in his free tim e.

“I love working with people and get a lot o f reward from knowing we are doing som e­th ing positive for the com m u­nity,” he said. “I know all m y clients’ nam es and spend a lot o f tim e learning about who

Community Literacy Council reading positive signs

PAUL HURSCHMANN | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Community Literacy Council Tutor Program Coordinator Fran Relyea (le ft) and Carol Saunders, president of the council's board o f directors, are happy with the success the council is seeing.

BY BRAD KADRICHSTAFF WRITER

W hen Carol Saunders retired from years o f teaching children and directing the program s at th e Starkweather Education Center, it didn’t figure to take h er long to get back into the game.

And it didn’t.First, Saunders ran for - and

won - a seat on the Plymouth- Canton Board of Education. Then, in Septem ber 2001, she jo ined the board o f directors o f the Community Literacy Council, m em bers o f which had been nagging her to jo in for some time.

By January 2002, she was president o f th a t board, and heavily involved in the council’s evolution.

Formed - as its nam e sug­gests - to help alleviate literacy problems, the Community Literacy Council is as busy now as it has been since its incep­tion. W ith 20 active students being tu tored in reading and

English, and another 31 on the waiting list, business has never been better.

“We know there are people who for various reasons haven’t learned to read or write,” said Saunders. “T hat’s why we’re here, to provide one-on-one tutoring to help them become

better contributing citizens.”

GOOD NEWS

W ith M arch being National Reading M onth, the num bers for the Community Literacy Council are particularly gratify­ing to Saunders and to Fran

Relyea, the council’s tu to r coor­dinator. The council recently completed one tutoring class, training people to become tutors, and will soon complete another.

Completion of th a t class will, for the first time, bring the sup­ply of tutors into line with the dem and for them.

It’s a sign the council is mov­ing forward, after a period which Saunders characterized as disinterest.

“The council, for various rea­sons, got to a point where interest and involvement was decreasing,” Saunders said. “Leadership was a little unde­cided.”

Relyea was brought on as the tu to r coordinator, and she’s been busy trying to set a course for the council to follow, one she hopes will bring renewed public interest.

For example, she’s joined the Plymouth Community Chamber of Commerce. She’s applied for grants from the Wilcox Foundation to help

publicize the council.“W hat I’ve done is really

exploited every possible m eans o f publicity I could find,” said Relyea. “We d id a lot o f b rain­storm ing on how we could get the w ord out.”

The Wilcox Foundation, nam ed for the late Jack Wilcox, provided a g ran t so the council could pu t out brochures. Some new blood was brought onto the board o f directors. Saunders, in addition to her school board seat, jo ined the Canton Cham ber o f Commerce, heightening h e r visibility.

“We w ant as much exposure as possible,” said Relyea. “I t has brought in traffic, phone calls.It has brought in interest.”

Nestled in fairly cram ped quarters a t th e Starkweather building on Holbrook, the CLC is essentially self-funded. There are some grants, and they also get some m oney during,their “Friends o f Literacy” drive. And the Plym outh-Canton school

board funds them with some $ l,l6 o a m onth in federal money funneled through the state. T hat buffer from state money is w hat has Saunders and Relyea hoping the coun­cil can dodge the budget ax wielded last week by Gov. Jennifer Granholm.

The biggest fund-raiser of the year, though, is the CLC’s Spelling Bee, held in October every year to prom ote litera­cy and the council. And the council is trying to get service groups, such as Rotary and Kiwanis, to “adopt” it.

“Literacy is a great service project for everyone,” Saunders-said. “Service

groups w ant to see the com­munity m ade better. How better to do th a t than helping them all be able to read and write?”

GOING TO WORK

As word of m outh brings in more business, the CLC is preparing to handle the load. Another tu to r class is wind­ing down, and soon there will be enough tu tors to cover the need. For the council, which has often seen more need than it could handle, th a t’s good news.

“There’ll be tutors on a waiting list, which isn’t a bad thing,” Relyea said with a smile. “T hat’s a nice problem to have.”

And then, another whir. “W hat’s th a t sound?” I asked

my husband. Patient and kind, he patted m y hand.

“It’s the landing gear coming down, and yes, th a t is a very good thing.”

Boy, was he right! That was THE BEST THING that could happen.

O f course we arrived in Florida safely, and of course, we arrived hom e with no problem.I learned a lot on th a t family vacation, during th a t two-hour flight to Florida.

I learned whenever possible to fly first class.

I learned sounds o f engine noise and landing gear are good things.

I learned tha t flying to Florida in a few hours is better than driving to

Florida during a few days.On my next flight I will

remem ber all those things I learned on th is trip. I will rem em ber all o f the flights th a t come and go, every day.

I will rem ind m yself o f all that, on the next flight I make, sometime in 2007. Maybe.

they are and about their lives.There is no extra charge to

have item s such as lottery tick­ets, cigarettes, beer/wine and money orders included in the grocery delivery. RGS accepts coupons and also returns cans and bottles - cashing them out on-site.

In addition to accepting cash and personal checks, drivers also carry hand-held cordless credit card machines to process charges from MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express and the Bridge card (food stamps).

“I have lived and worked in the area for 25 years and people have come to know me and know how I’m trying to help,” said Bill. “This service is a vehi­cle for many people who don’t have the tim e or the ability to

grocery shop for themselves.”Dorothy Balia says the con­

venience and affordability of the service isn’t the biggest appeal.

“My three children are great, bu t I hate to have to depend on them to take me shopping,” said the 79-year-old W estland resi­dent.

“Now I can enjoy breakfast or going shopping with my daugh­te r instead o f spending the tim e grocery shopping then drag­ging the bags around. That really ties you down.”

Balia has received four deliv­eries since she first learned o f the service in November from a neighbor who also uses RGS.

“They have been so pleasant and personable. Everything is very fresh and ju st as I ordered it,” she said.

Once the initial grocery order is processed from the m aster list, a m ore modified list is mailed to clients th a t features

the brands and products they requested w ith room for changes and additions to size, quantity and brand nam e. A self-addressed stam ped enve­lope is provided so they can drop their next order in the mail free o f charge.

S t e p h e n M i n i s t r y g r o w s a t H o l y T r i n i t y L u t h e r a nThe Christian caregiving

ministry at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Livonia welcomed four new Stephen ministers, who were commis­sioned Sunday, M arch 9, at the 11 a.m. service. A new Stephen leader also will be commis­sioned. These new lay and pas­toral caregivers jo in 12 Stephen ministers and four Stephen leaders already serving at Holy Trinity.

Stephen ministers offer care

and support for people experi­encing life difficulties such as death o f a loved one, job crisis, aging, separation or divorce, long-term illness, or needing th e support of a Christian friend. They have received 50 hours o f intensive training cov­ering such topics as effective listening, confidentiality, the stress o f hospitalization, feel­ings, and utilizing community resources.

Citing his reason for becom­

ing a Stephen minister, George Lemieux said, “I t’s tim e to th ink of myself less and other people more.”

Stephen M inistry is a confi­dential m inistry; those receiv­ing care can be sure tha t their identity and concerns will remain private. In addition to the training, Stephen ministers will continue to receive twice- monthly continuing education and supervision support ses­sions as they strive to offer the

highest quality C hristian care­giving.

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church is one o f m ore than 8,000 congregations through­out the U nited States, Canada and 18 other countries - repre­senting m ore th an 100 different denom inations - th a t have im plem ented th is program o f lay Christian caregiving. The Stephen Series was developed by Stephen M inistries in St. Louis. Holy Trinity has been

p art o f the Stephen Series since 2000. Clergy and lay persons are trained in a seven-day Leader’s Training Course to re turn to their local congrega­tions to recruit and train other lay people.

Linda Grillis, another o f the trainees, explained: “The tra in ­ing not only prepares us for the care we will be giving b u t it also helps us in m any other rela­tionships in our lives as we have become m ore em pathetic

an d better listeners. Becoming a Stephen m inister has been a wonderful experience.”

I f you are interested or have m ore questions about the Stephen M inistry a t Holy Trinity, or if you know someone w hom needs care and support a t th is time, call Pastor Linda G olden a t (734) 464-0211. For additional inform ation about starting a Stephen M inistry at your church visit www.stephen- m inistries.org.

3 £ h K e S o m e o n e ' s D a y !When is the last time you told someone that they made your day? When we give someone an honest, weli-deserved compliment such as this, it is also

a blessing to us. it makes us aware of those who have been a positive influence in our daily lives. Ironicaliy, the best way to "make someone's day" is to tel! them how helpful they have been to you and that you appreciate their friendship, it .seems we often forget to tel! those who are closest to us that we value and enjoy their company. When it comes to praising people, there is usually nothing wrong with doing it in the presence of others. Peopie don't usually like to "toot their own horn," so if we can do it for them by praising their actions, it usually will give them encouragement. Conversely, if you must criticize someone, it is almost always best to do that in private, making sure that the other person knows that you still vaiue them despite your criticism. God wants us to use kind words which validate our fellow human beings, and to practice His Golden Rule of doing for others what you want them to do for you.

Rheault gives up hoop coach position11 Jeremy Rheault wanted to do was coach.

I t wasn’t the money. Ask any high school coach if that’s why he’s doing it, and it’s guaran­teed such a bizarre sug­gestion will be greeted with laughter.

A buck an hour. Maybe. That’s what they make.

Rheault had coached

the last 12 years at the school he graduated from two years prior to that: Canton HS. He has spent the past three seasons as the varsity basketball coach.

But now, that’s come to an end. On Monday, Rheault resigned.

It was his choice. “He was not asked to resign:,” insisted Canton athletic director Sue Heinzman.

Rheault later retorted, “I was supposed to have an evaluation in a couple o f weeks. I wasn’t going to wait for that.”

Why? Because he felt certain it wouldn’t be a positive one.

This is the story o f a young coach who was driven from a job he loved, not because he couldn’t handle what hap­pened on the court, bu t by those around him.

In Rheault’s letter of resignation, which he submitted to Heinzman Monday, he states bluntly: “I am resigning due to the lack o f administrative support and lack of communication th a t I have experienced.”

That, quite obviously, leads to Heinzman. I t doesn’t end there, however.

“I’m sorry Jeremy feels that way,” Heinzman said Wednesday. “I feel badly. I

wish that wasn’t his decision.“I told him (Monday) I’d hold his letter

o f resignation.”N ot any more. Rheault’s m ade his deci­

sion. He had problems this season, bu t nothing any coach doesn’t experience.Like players and their parents complain­ing about playing time, to both the coach and, if they felt tha t didn’t work, to his boss. Heinzman said she would not talk to players’ parents or anyone else about play­ing tim e or similar m atters regarding a

No, coaching isn’t rocket science, b u t there are all sorts o f factors to fac­tor, contingencies to consider. Salem swim coach Chuck Olson has been around long enough to know how to m anage a m eet, how to give his team and his swimmers th e best chance at winning.

He proved it again a t last Saturday’s Division I swim finals a t Eastern M ichigan University. The Rocks fin­ished sixth overall w ith 109.5 points, scoring points on all th ree relays and in four o f the ir eight individual entries.

a g a i n s t C o n c o r d i aTwice Marylou Jansen has guided M adonna University’s wom en’s

basketball team to the NAIA Tournament. A nd twice, her squads have come very close to pulling off a miracle.

On Wednesday in Sioux City, Iowa, M adonna came within a sin­gle shot o f shocking No. 1-seed Concordia (Neb.) University, bu t the Bulldogs held on to get a 62-59 victory in the opening round of the NAIA Tournament.

Concordia takes a 34-1 record into Friday’s second round, facing either William Jewell (Mo.) or Ohio Dominican. M adonna ends its season at 13-20.

This was certainly a game o f cham pionship caliber. Neither squad led by more than seven points, and th e biggest advantage of the second half was four. M adonna was up 29-28 at the half.

The Bulldogs opened up a 58-55 lead w ith 1:57 rem aining in the game on a basket by Kayla Luehm ann, bu t M adonna answered with two free throws by Nikki Blaszak 15 seconds later, making it a one-point game.

Concordia’s Elizabeth Rhoden also h it two free throws with :56 to play, b u t Courtney Rehbine’s short basket w ith :26 rem aining again trim m ed the deficit to one, 60-59.

Forced to foul to gain possession, the Crusaders sent Concordia’s Dani Adams to the line w ith :23 left, and Adams h it both shots. Callie Gizicki’s three-point attem pt a t the buzzer missed, allowing the Bulldogs to escape w ith the win.

Lindsay Simmon led M adonna w ith 23 points on 8-of-15 floor shooting. She also had seven rebounds. Rehbine had 13 points and M arwa Ayoub netted nine points, seven boards, th ree assists, three steals and two blocks.

Rhoden’s 19 points paced Concordia. Sarah H arrison contributed 16 points and nine rebounds and Adams finished w ith nine points and five steals.

Catholic Central hockey players celebrate Saturday night at Compuware Arena after winning their school's fifth consecutive state championship by defeating Clarkston in the Division I title game, 4-0.

BY P AU L BEAUDRYSTAFF WRITER

As the seconds ticked off the clock in the th ird period, Redford Catholic Central goalie Jim m y Blanchard s ta rt­ed getting excited.

F irst, he bunny-hopped dow n the ice on th e toes o f his skates, then he th rew his stick in th e air, then h is blocker and his trapper.

A nd as th e final buzzer sounded, Blanchard tore off th e straps to his helm et, ripped it off his head and th rew it high in th e a ir - all w hile continuing to hop down th e ice.

H is enthusiasm was under­standable; his eighth shutout o f th e year proved to be the b est as B lanchard and the Sham rocks h ung a 4-0 shutout on gutty Clarkston to win their fifth-straight state cham pi­onship and sixth in th e last seven years.

“H e gives the o ther team fits,” said CC coach Gordie St. Jo h n - the coach for all seven o f CC’s state titles - either in Class A or Division 1, bu t all since 1994. “He’s been there all year long and as long as there’s a breakaway through the defense, we’re confident he can m ake the save.”

C larkston coach Bryan Krygier knew too well w hat he was up against w ith Blanchard, let alone the Shamrocks.

“I coached J im six o r seven years ago on a Little Caesar’s AAA squirt team ,” said Krygier. “I t’s good to see him do so well. I ’m happy for him.”

W hile B lanchard played a solid game in goal, CC’s offense kept th e pressure on the Wolves (17-9-4) by keeping the puck in th e ir end. I t wasn’t always easy getting th e puck in th e Clarkston zone, thanks to a soft version o f a pressure defense. But held play in the Wolves end for long stretches o f th e game - and even when CC (26-3) d idn’t score, it proved to be th e difference.

“We were able to go four- lines deep to th e ir th ree and I

th ink th a t wore them down a bit,” said St. John. “I thought they played hard.”

The Wolves could have been a b it tired, having played the late game against East Kentwood in the semifinals.

But even with the Shamrocks h itting a couple of posts and some big saves by Clarkston goalie A aron Catanese, th e Wolves held their own in a scoreless first period.

“We did good a t first, bu t after a while we started getting tired,” said Catanese, who w ound up stopping 26 shots on the night to 16 for Blanchard. “They were strong, b u t I th ink they also got a cou­ple o f lucky bounces here and a weak goal there.”

The second period m ight have been the m ost com plete 15 m inutes pu t together by any team this season.

CC, which outshot Clarkston 9-0 in the first h a lf o f the sec­ond period, finally solved Catanese on the 10th shot. Tommy M ullen - who had

m issed th e sem ifinal because o f an autom atic disqualifica­tion for intentionally runn ing into Brighton goalie A aron Gidcomb in the quarterfinal - knocked in th e puck to Catanese’s left before he could slide over. Jason Lew arne got th e assist.

The Sham rocks m ade it 2 -0 w ith 4:19 left in th e period as B randon N aurato took the puck in the slot and slid it past Catanese on the stick side w ith Eric Giosa and Travis Hamway getting the assists.

The backbreaker cam e w ith 20 seconds left in th e period as Giosa jam m ed th e puck past Catanese during a p ileup in fron t o f the net, w ith N aurato and Hamway getting the assists.

“We knew our shots would go in eventually,” said Giosa. “We ju s t had to keep w orking hard . We didn’t play ou r best in the first period, b u t the sec­ond period was one o f our best o f the year.”

Clarkston kep t struggling on offense. The Wolves m ustered

ju s t four shots on goal in the period and were outshot, 23- 10, through two periods.

They had their chances. C larkston was on the power play for a decent chunk o f the gam e - and had a 5-on-3 advantage in the first period, b u t could no t convert.

CC started the th ird period a m an down with H arrison N iem ann going off a t th e end o f th e second period for elbow­ing. Then N aurato w ent off for interference a t 4 :03, then D rew Kahle w ent off a t 7:48.

Each tim e CC beat back the opportunity - and for good m easure added one m ore goal w ith 2:46 left as N athan Perkovich banged the puck in th e goal to Catanese’s stick side, w ith Lewarne and Billy B urns getting the assists.

“O ur m ain goal in June was to w in this game,” said Giosa. “We were going for the state record and three o f us have never lost in the finals in the four years we’ve been here.”

Eggert

Redford Catholic Central’s Andrew Eggert has had a pretty good senior year.

For starters, he was nam ed a M ichigan H igh •School Athletic Association Scholar- A thlete last m onth, jug­gling his tim e play­ing hockeyw ith his 4.6 grade poin t average.

Saturday night, he capped off four years on the varsity hockey team with his fourth- straight state cham pionship as th e Shamrocks won their fifth-straight crown w ith a 4-0 win over Clarkston.

D uring the on-ice celebra­tion, Eggert’s day got even better.

“We were celebrating and (CC co-coach Todd Johnson) tu rned to m e and said ‘Four titles in four years is special, huh? The only th ing be tte r would be being nam ed Mr. Hockey,” said Eggert. “I looked at him and he said ‘Yup, you won it.’ I was ju s t stunned.”

Regardless if he was stunned or pleased or excit­ed, being nam ed the fourth CC player to be nam ed by the state’s hockey coaches as the state’s best hockey player was an honor for the Livonia senior.

“I t’s a great honor,” said Eggert, who now jo ins Jared Ross (2001), Keith Rowe (1999) and M ark C urtin (1997) in w hat seems to be CC’s award in odd years.

“I th ink winning th e state cham pionships are a greater thrill because it’s a team goal. But this is great.”

Eggert - on the small side a t 5-feet-9 and 175 pounds - had six goals and 30 assists th is season, and also carries a 4.6 grade-point average. H e’s been accepted academ i­cally to M ichigan, b u t is still

w aiting to hear from other schools.

B ut hockey is still very m uch in Eggert’s future, and he’s shooting to go the Jun io r Hockey route, per­haps to follow form er team m ates Dave Moss and B randon Kaleniecki on the Wolverines.

“But I ’ll have to w ait and see w hat happens after the (USAHL) d raft this year,” said Eggert. “I w ant to keep playing hockey.”

As a freshm an, he was- by his own admission- lost a little bit. But he kept im proving and improving, w orking on the team con­cept m ore and m ore and becom ing a m ore-rounded defensem an.“Now, I’m offensive and defensive minded,” said Eggert. “I ’ll take care of m y . defensive duties first and try ing to keep the puck out o f th e net. But I have no problem s moving the puck up o r trying to get the chance to score.”

Mr. Hockey earned him a spot on th e coaches associa­tion D ream Team, where he was jo ined by CC goalie Jim m y Blanchard.

Team mates Brandon N aurato, Eric R einhardt and Eric Giosa also m ade the Division 1 all-state team as forw ards, as did Farm ington’s Keith Hay, Salem’s M ark Nagel and Livonia Churchill’s Jim Krygowski.

D efensem an Billy Bum s also m ade the first-team Division 1 list.

For Ashley Aquinto, things could not have gone m uch better.

For her Salem team m ate, Bethany Bartlett, perhaps the same could be said.

Aquinto, a sophom ore com peting in Division II at last Saturday’s State Individual Gymnastics Final at Plymouth HS, tu rned in a solid per­formance, w inning one event and tying for second in th e all-around.

Bartlett, a Division I gymnast, was facing tougher com petition and was a t less than M l strength. Despite her

GYMNASTICS

assorted ailm ents, however, she still m anaged a 15th in the all-around.

“I t was a very good day,” summa­rized Rocks’ coach Dana Driscoll. “They were excited and I was excited.”

Aquinto sort o f reversed her state perform ance o f a year ago. “She didn’t qualify (for state) on the balance beam last year,” said Driscoll.

But after a spectacular showing at the W estern Lakes Activities Association m eet last m onth — Aquinto won three of the four individ­

ual events, placing second on beam — it seemed she was poised to m ake a run a t th e state all-around title.

Always strong in floor exercise, Aquinto concentrated on improving her vault and beam routines. W ith Driscoll able to focus her coaching efforts on the three individual state qualifiers, Aquinto resurrected a “new skill, som ething we had worked on a little b it a t the beginning o f the year, then dropped it.”

The skill, a “no-handed cartwheel” for the beam, was reincorporated into her routine during practice last week. Putting som ething new in ju s t before the state final may have been risky, bu t

as Driscoll pointed out, “I t’s hard for beam to be anyone’s best event, bu t she was prejfy confident.”

W ith good reason, apparently. Aquinto scored a 9.3 to finish first.

She added a seventh in the vault, a device for which she had also pu t together a new routine and scored 9.25, and tied for n in th in bo th the uneven parallel bars (8.75) and floor exercise (9.1). H er all-around score of 36.4 tied w ith Shelia Orosey o f Rochester Adams for second. Amy Schm idt o f G rand Ledge was first w ith a 37.225.

For Bartlett, it wasn’t an easy season to endure. “None o f h er scores were

too bad,” Driscoll said of her perform ­ance Saturday. “She did pretty well considering th e injuries she’s had all season.”

H er injuries s ta rt w ith stress frac­tures in her back, which m ay have led to the knee an d h ip problem s th a t have plagued her.

Still, B artlett did well in the all- around, scoring 36.225. H er best indi­vidual finish cam e in the floor exer­cise; she was sixth w ith a 9.45.

The Division I cham pion in th e all- around was B reanne W orkman o f G rand Ledge, totaling 38.425.

Goethe’s success was a “surprise, b u t no t out-of-the-blue surprise” to his coach, Greg Woochuk. “He worked hard last summer. He cer­tainly worked hard enough to be a t states.

“Mike did everything he was sup­posed to do, w hat he was capable o f doing.”

W hile W oochuk m ay have though t Goethe was proficient enough to w in a state cham pionship, he wasn’t con­vinced the w restler felt th a t way — despite the huge strides he m ade throughout a career th a t began w ith a 22-22 record as a freshm en.

As a sophomore, h e im proved to 38-12. His 157 career victories pu ts him in Salem’s top 10 for wins.

“I th ink (winning a state title) was one o f his goals,” W oochuk said. “B ut I don’t th ink he felt capable o f it, a t least not until ab o u t mid-season.”

Beating some o f th e top w restlers in Division II and Division III at th e W illiam ston Tournam ent Jan . 18 got Goethe believing he was, indeed, capable.

“I th ink he started to realize, ‘I can do this,”’ W oochuk said.

H is first win over M ajed, in the regional final, gave h im a bigger boost in confidence.

For Stum p, the good news is he’ll be back next season, m ore experi­enced and m ore confident. He fin­ished his sophom ore season a t 42-9 after going 21-11 as a freshm an. Biondo, the Chippewa Valley w restler who beat Stum p in the final, is ju s t a freshm an. He finished42-4.

“He’s been there w ith the best kids in the state,” said W oochuk o f

As far as Stum p’s fixture, Woochuk was optim istic. “He could be one of the best we’ve ever had, num bers- wise,” he said.

S tein trager finished the season w ith a 52-2 m ark. S tew art was 43-1.

ROCKSFROM PAGE D1

Dzialo, who was second in the 50-yard freestyle in 21.53 and tied for second with Mattawan’s Ben Tansey in the 100-yard butterfly in 50.64.

Canton scored in one event, Joe Le placing seventh in the 100 freestyle in 47.86, and narrowly missed in a couple o f others.

Although the Rocks didn’t m atch theirlast two finishes at state, Olson could not have been more pleased with their performance.

“The third was very nice two years ago, and the fifth last year,” he said. “But when you take two swimmers like (Eric) Lynn and (Mike) Johnson off the team and finish sixth, then this team has nothing to hang its head about.”

Lynn took a first in the 200 individual medley and a sec­ond in the 100 backstroke at last year’s state, while Johnson was top 10 in the 50 and 100 freestyle.

In 2001, the Rocks enjoyed their best-ever performance at the Class A (that’s what it was called then) state finals, plac­ing th ird because Olson and his top swimmers came to the conclusion tha t loading up their relays — at the expense o f individual glory — would be best for the team.

T hat conclusion proved cor­rect. The gamble paid off.

All the right movesAt last Saturday’s Division I

(that’s w hat it’s called now) finals a t EMU’s Jones Natatorium, Olson and h is top swimmer — Dzialo — faced similar alternatives.

“We had to make some deci­sions,” Olson said. “He had some options. But he w anted to do as well as he could in the (butter)fly.”

Dzialo was part o f all th ree state-qualified relay team s. He had also qualified in the 2 00 IM and the 5 0 ,1 0 0 ,2 0 0 and 500 freestyle, as well as the 100 fly.

Swimming the fly would leave him three o ther events to choose from. He could be part o f all th ree relays, for the team ’s sake; Olson, however, believed putting Dzialo in two individual events and two relays would score more points for the team.

So which relays? And w hat other individual event?

The 200 free had long been considered the odds-on favorite for his other individ­ual entry. He’d have plenty o f tim e to recover for a shot a t the 100 fly state title.

But when Olson saw w ho else from around the state was entered in the 200 free, h e changed his mind. And he convinced Dzialo to change his.

“I thought the 50 (free) would be best,” Olson said. “I didn’t see anyone in the 50 he couldn’t swim with.”

Still, the 50 free was m ore of a gamble. In such a short event, a single mistake can be the difference between a first and a sixth. O r even worse.

“There’s always a risk,” adm itted Olson. “All it takes is one little slip.

“But w hen we looked a t the lists, who was swimming here (in the 50) and who was swimming there (in the 200), it m ade sense.”

T hat’s w hen Olson’s coach­ing experience showed. “We talked it over,” he said. He knew in an event like this, his swimmer m ust be supremely confident. “They have to feel real good about it going in,” he added.

Dzialo’s competitive nature came through after that. He ju st m issed capturing the title in the 50, finishing .07 behind Troy’s Jo n Thomas. Then he tied for second in the 100 fly with his season’s best time.

Relays score wellIn the relays, Olson replaced

Dzialo w ith Mike Horgan in the butterfly leg o f the 200 medley.

“He needed to get it done, and he d id it,” the Salem coach said o f Horgan. Together with Nick Dixon, M att Showalter and M att Vivian, the Rocks placed seventh in the medley relay in 1:40.09.

In the 2 0 0 free relay, Vivian, Bill Clark, Horgan and Dzialo finished eighth in 1:29.36, and in the 4 0 0 free relay Dzialo, M att Jurcak, Joe Aumiller and Dixon were 12th in 3:18.09.

Dixon, a sophomore, was the Rocks other big point-pro­ducer. H e placed 10th in the 200 IM in 1:59.51, missing a spot in th e championship (top eight) hea t by .01, and was

sixth in the 500 free in 4:49.06.

“He swam great,” said Olson of Dixon. “H e went from 2:02 to 1:58 in the IM (1:58.84 in prelims), and his 4:45 in the 500 free (4:45.81 in the pre­lims) was six seconds faster than he went at last year’s state meet.”

For Canton, near-miss was the descriptive term . Le’s pre­liminary tim e in the 50 free was 22.32, tying him with Portage Central’s M att Kamm an for 18th, .01 out of 17th and .09 out o f 16th, the final qualifying (and scoring) position.

T hat was nothing compared to w hat happened to Yuhei Uno in the 100 fly. H e tied Birmingham Brother Rice’s Mike A rm our for 16th, both clocked at 54.45, forcing a swim-off for the final spot. A rm our won.

It didn’t get any better for Uno in the 100 backstroke. He tied again, this time for 21st, in 57.01.

Salem’s other qualifiers were Jurcak in the 200 free (he placed 31st in 1:51.90); Aumiller in the 200 IM (he was 26th in 2:06.19); Vivian in the 50 free (he was 25th in 22.59); and Horgan in the 100 fly (he was 34th in 56.48).

Ann Arbor Pioneer won the team title for the second- straight year, scoring 282 points. Holland was second with 240 and Brother Rice placed th ird with 239. (See statistical summary)

Crusaders win final 8 on tripBY GEORGE STEPHENS

STAFF WRITER

I t doesn’t m atter how you start, it’s how you finish. The M adonna University softball team took those words to heart in Ft. Myers (Fla.) last week, winning their last eight games to leave the sunshine state w ith a 10-3 record.

The Crusaders showed some o f tha t w inter rust during their first five games o f the trip. They won their first game against Dominican College (N.Y.) 7-0, bu t lost three o f their next four games. M adonna dropped a game to St. M ary o f the Woods 4-0, bounced back with a 3-0 win over Saint Anselm College (N.H.), then lost its next two games, to A nna M aria College (Mass.) and Missouri Valley College by scores o f 3-2 and 12-5, respectively.

It was at this point th a t we began to see a different team.

The Crusaders started the streak with a 1-0 victoiy over W ingate University (N.C.). Jennifer Tenyer pitched a bril­liant game, striking out six bat­ters, while giving up no runs in the complete game shutout.

After that, M adonna scored more than five runs in the last seven games o f the trip.

The Crusaders went on to beat

Ursuline College (Pa.) 7-3; Kenyon College (OH) 5-0; Mercyhurst College (Pa.) 7-5; St. Mary o f the Woods 5-3; Point Park College (Pa.) 5-0; Ursuline College again 12-1; and Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference rival Cornerstone University 6-3.

Over the last eight games, the offensive charge was led by Arin Fowler who batted .571 and accounted for eight runs batted in. Major contributions were also made by Stacy Sexsmith (.455 batting average with three RBIs) and Jam ie Bobrowski (.375 with nine RBIs). Tenyer’s dom inating mound performances earned her Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference Pitcher-of-the-Week accolades.

A year ago, Madonna University’s softball team was a mystery. Even the Crusaders’ coach, A1 White, wasn’t sure what he had.

“We started seven freshmen a lot of times last year,” he said.

All that uncertainty turned into a winning season, a 25-24 record with a 15-12 mark in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference.

The good news this season is nearly all of last season’s team returns. Which means the doubt of last year has been replaced by a torrent of optimism.

“I don’t w ant to brag,” said White, now entering his fifth season as head coach, “but at the same time, I want to brag, know what I mean?

“This is by far our best team ever.”

It might not have been if White didn’t get his Christmas wish. Asked what he wanted for the holiday in mid-December, he replied, “A pitcher walking through that door.”

W hat W hite needed was to fill the one hole in his lineup, due to

SOFTBALL OUTLOOK

the graduation of pitcher Missy VanDoorn, who was 15-11 last season with a 1.24 earned run average.

So w hat happens? He gets a phone call from Sarah Golob, a 5-foot-ll hurler from Gilbert, Ariz., who pitched at Mesa (Ariz.) CC two years ago but sat out last year with a sore shoul­der.

She had been recruited by sev­eral Pac-10 teams, according to White, b u t she was interested in studying sign language — some­thing M adonna offers. W hich led her to W hite.

“I’m going, ‘Here’s my Christmas present,”’ W hite said. Golob will have three years of eli­gibility remaining.

W hen not pitching — Jenny Tenyer, M adonna’s only senior on the roster who was 10-13 with a 2.41 ERA last season, also returns — Golob will be at third base. She’ll be part of a lineup that will be strong everywhere.

Starting at catcher, with the return o f jun ior Arin Fowler. “A lot of people think she’s the best

in the league,” said White, a dis­tinction she earned last year. H er numbers would validate that: Fowler played every game last year, and all bu t three innings behind the plate, batting .283 with one homer, 20 runs batted in and just five errors.

The infield consists of sopho­more Krystle Shina (from Farmington Mercy), who hit .236 with two homers and 15 RBI, at first base; sophomore Tara Turner, who batted .207 with two homers and 13 RBI, at second; junior Emily Cunningham, who hit .325 with one homer and 15 RBI, at short; and sophomore Kathy Day (Livonia Ladywood), with 14 RBI, at third.

Outfielder Autumn Batyik has graduated, bu t Jamie Bobrowski and Mary Warchuck return. Bobrowski, a junior, was ail- WHAC last season, batting .302 with a team-leading seven homers and 39 RBI.

Warchuck, a sophomore, hit .267 with one homer and 14 RBI. Allison Luczak, a junior from Livonia, and M arquita Cook, a sophomore, also saw playing time in the outfield last season.

A key bat will belong to

Tenyer, who h it anywhere from third to fifth in the lineup last season. She had a .294 average with two homers and 10 RBI, and she’ll be the designated h it­ter when not pitching this year.

One newcomer who figures to see playing time is Stacey Sexsmith, a freshman from Southgate (Riverview Gabriel Richard HS) who can play any infield position and some out­field. “She’ll see some time,” pre­dicted White, “but she won’t be pushed into starting.”

In the WHAC, Cornerstone should again be very tough, with Aquinas and Spring Arbor up there as well. But again, W hite believes M adonna will be promi­nent.

“In my mind, we can definitely go to nationals,” he said. “After the first two-and-a-half weeks, we should know where we stand.

“One one hand, I’m so excited about this season. Expectations are way up there. On the other hand, I’m scared because it may not come together.”

If things do come together, this team could indeed be some­thing special.

After months of practicing in a gym, Florida was probably the best place to kick off the season for the M adonna University baseball team.

The Crusaders did not disap­point, going 10-3 for the week in Homestead, hopefully setting the tone for the rest of the year.

M adonna started out strong, going 4-0 to start off the week by beating the Northwood University (Fla,) Seahawks, 5-2, the Lewis University (111.) Flyers, 4-3. They also went on to beat the Seahawks again, 4-3, and the King’s College (Pa.) Monarchs, 10-1.

Through the first four games, Sterling Mintzer led the charge,

going 4-7 w ith a pair of homers and seven RBI.

The Crusaders’ play slipped a b it the next couple of games, as they lost two of their next three matchups.

A 22-3 thrashing of the Dominican (N.Y.) Chargers was sandwiched between two sub- par outings, an 11-0 defeat against Indiana Wesleyan and 13-7 setback to the Muhlenberg (Pa.) Mules.

In the win over Dominican, Chris W oodruff went 3-for-3 with seven RBI and two runs scored.

M adonna picked up the pace however, going on a three-game winning streak, picking up victo­ries against the Flyers, 7-1, the Monarchs, 10-4, and Indiana Wesleyan, 5-2.

coach’s job. “That’s why we hired him — to coach,” she said. “I don’t talk about that with par­ents. That’s in our handbook.

“Now I’m not saying they don’t try to m ask it and go around it.”

Problem is, some of those issues do sneak through. And when they do, they can damage a team’s chemistry.

Rheault believed he had answered all such questions. He believed he had his team, which had endured injuries to one key starter after another, headed in the right direction as the state tournam ent approached.

And the way the Chiefs played in their final regular-season game, a win over Livonia Stevenson, would justify that. But then, at w hat should have been a m om ent of triumph, came disaster.

As the final seconds ticked away in Canton’s 54-48 win, D.J. Bridges fielded a long pass and headed toward the Stevenson basket, trying to deliver one last in-your-face slam dunk. The Spartans’ Brandon Chitwood intervened, however, blocking Bridges shot as the buzzer sounded and sending Bridges crashing to the court.

Rheault rushed out to check on the well-being ofhis shaken player and, some in the crowd thought (in particular,Stevenson assistant principal Diane Burke), to confront Chitwood. As he sped past the Stevenson player, he took hold ofhis arms — a gesture that last­ed one, perhaps two seconds.

It was similar to what a per­son in a crowded mall would do, brushing past a stranger. Chitwood thought so little o f it, he didn’t even glance at Rheault.

That “incident” snowballed into something that never should have happened.

Heinzman said the school’s

rule is clear: “A coach cannot touch an opposing player. It’s hands-off.”

H er decision: suspension. For the next game, which happened to be Canton’s first state tourna­m ent game.

Rheault was incensed by the action. He had taken other steps, apologizing to the Stevenson team , to Chitwood and their coach, Bill Dyer. He had sent a letter to that effect.

Didn’t matter. Asked if any other action was considered, Heinzman said yes, but: “I believe I made the best decision I could make.”

No appeal process was avail­able to Rheault. He was forced to watch his team lose to Novi in their first state district game from the overhead track above the South Lyon court.

T hat was m ore than Rheault could take. Instead o f support­ing their coach, the Canton administration had abandoned him. I t wasn’t the first time this has happened. Rheault took the varsity job at Canton when Dan Young abruptly resigned due, at least in part, to a similar ‘lack of administrative support.” Young is now an assistant coach with Catholic Central.

So why is this happening? Even though anyone who has seen the tape o f “the incident” believes it too trivial to warrant any kind o f action, Heinzman sticks to her “no-touch” ruling.

Some suggest Rheault may have overreacted. Perhaps. But his belief that there was “a lack o f administrative support and communication” apparently left him feeling like a blind boxer:H e wanted to fight back, but he didn’t know who he was fight­ing. That’s a shame. Heinzman said coaches are paid to coach and answer questions about per­sonnel, playing time, etc.

Okay. Then administrators are paid to handle problems like this — not cause them.Sports Editor C .J. Risak can be reached at (734) 953-2108.

Open houses.Some Realtors tolerate them ,

others see the exercise as a colossal waste of time. Few adm it to enjoying the activity.

Would-be buyers may use them to gauge the marketplace, curious neighbors to see how folks across th e street or on the other side o f the property line really live.

Sellers frequently get stuck in the middle. They wonder, especially when things aren’t moving, why the heck not have one?

During an open house, sell­ers spiff up their homes, then leave a Realtor in charge, usu­ally for several hours on a Sunday afternoon, to guide people who arrive without an appointm ent.

Advertisements in newspa­pers or cable TV, directional signs along m ajor mile roads, and open-house signs atop the for-salle sign a t the properties in question all bring people in. Balloons and decorative flags often let visitors know th a t this is the place.

“The percentage o f open houses th a t sell as open houses is very low - 1 or 2 percent,” said Lee Douglas, Realtor with Century 21 H artford N orth in Livonia. “If open houses worked and worked well, you wouldn’t need a Realtor. Everyone could do their own.

“W hen I do it, I always tell the seller ahead o f tim e the percentage th a t sells is very low,” she said. “Because I feel I w ant to touch every single base, I do it anyway. I try to do it as soon as I list. I like to see people come through and get their reaction.”

Especially on price, Douglas said.

“In 12 years, I’ve sold three or four,” she said. “To me, the m ost valuable thing is to get feedback. And you never know - so why not try every avenue?

“Serious buyers (however) usually are working with an agent who can give them up- to-date information,” Douglas said o f available houses and prices.

Those don’t need open hous­es. But people new to the process can use them to get a feel for a particular m arket before focusing a search with the assistance of a Realtor.

“To professionally m arket a property, you have to m arket it to Realtors and online,” said Gary Newville, broker with Hall & H unter in Birmingham. “I don’t personally th ink th a t open houses are that effective. I

think we can m arket m uch more effectively than standing there for four hours saying, ‘Gosh, I hope someone comes in.’”

Saying that, Newville added that he will host open houses, if the seller so requests. But m ore and m ore sellers are wary, he added.

“They don’t know who’s walking in,” he said. “They want appointm ents. They w ant to make sure people are finan­cially qualified when they come in.”

“The biggest problem is someone doesn’t see the ad and they don’t have the (financial) qualifications,” said Louise Herrgott, broker/ow ner o f Red Carpet Keim in Oxford.

“The big positive is property exposure for your seller. I t’s a

good way to introduce yourself to new prospects,” she added.

Most visitors who stop by open houses aren’t serious buy­ers, Newville said.

“Some people like going through open houses to get decorating tips. Generally, we get neighbors who say, ‘I always wanted to come through.’ People see ah open house sign and stop saying they always w anted to look in the neighbor­hood. About one in 10 come in w ith a Realtor,” Newville said.

Mike Pelto, associate broker w ith Coldwell Banker Schweitzer in Troy, however, suspects th a t m ost people wouldn’t spend a lot of tim e going through houses unless they were serious.

Perhaps not making the m ost productive use o f their time,

but serious, he said. “I’m of the opinion you can’t do better than a Realtor who takes th e legwork, tim e and frustration out o f the process.”

W ho’s best served by open hodses?

“People new to the area who can come in and get a sense for style and other amenities,”Pelto said.

Realtors — new to the busi­ness, or veterans when things get slow — can farm clients, folks who stop by not already working w ith an agent.

“I can’t say they never work,” Pelto said. “Sometimes, when there’s nothing left to do, you do it. It satisfies sellers in so far as they th ink there’s activity on it.”

m o r t g a g el j j y fellow Air Force pilots P l ! and I used to grimace g ® when the Top Brass

told us, “flexibility is the key to Air Power.” That usually m eant th a t somebody in Operations screwed up, and it was up to us to compen­sate for their errors to make our missions happen.

Over tim e, I have learned th a t flexibility truly is an adm irable attribute. I have learned to appreciate flexi­bility w hen I see it in other parts o f my world, in my friends, and even in my m ortgage business.

Hom eowners often strug­gle w hen choosing between a standard 30-year fixed- rate m ortgage and other mortgage options. Shorter term loans build up equity m ore quickly, bu t longer term s m ean lower monthly payments.

The problem is th a t using a shorter te rm mortgage results in a higher monthly m ortgage obligation tha t can be a b it unnerving. It's tough to voluntarily make a higher paym ent. O ther bor­rowers get frustrated with the notion o f “restarting” the 30-year clock from the very beginning.

M any borrowers are opt­ing into a new family of flex- term m ortgages th a t offer them m ore latitude and con­trol. Participating borrowers may choose their mortgage term s no t ju s t once at the beginning o f their loan, bu t on a m onthly basis.

The m ost innovative flex- term m ortgage lenders will let you pick your own m onthly paym ent by allow­ing you to choose between m aking a 15-year payment, a 30-year payment, an in ter­est-only payment, or a less- than-in terest payment. For a $200 ,000 mortgage, your resulting paym ent could range from $1,600 to as low as $600 per m onth. You can control your paym ent schedule every month, and your loan will be am ortized to be p aid off in 23 to 25 years.

This new breed of m ort­gage certainly piques the in terest o f all types o f bor­rowers because it allows borrow ers to better inte­grate the ir m ortgage into the ir overall financial plan­ning. Self-employed bor­rowers and commissioned salespeople can now opt to m ake a lower mortgage pay­m ent if they have a slow m onth, and a higher pay­m ent when business picks up.

As w ith our military, em bracing flexibility may be ju s t the key to you reaching your goals.

H o w t o s e t s t a g e f o r s u c c e s s a t o p e n h o u s e sFew purchase offers result directly from

opening hom es to walk-in traffic on a weekend afternoon, Realtors say.

T hat doesn’t mean they’re meaningless. Here’s a compilation o f practical steps and realistic expectations to executive produce a resoundingly successful open house, according to those who host them :

■ Advertise. Place an open house sign atop the for-saie sign in front o f the prop­erty the M onday preceding th e Sunday event.

T hat way, neighbors who have friends, work associates or family members who may be interested in moving to the area can give them a heads-up. Drive-bys also will be alerted.

Some Realtors even mail post cards to neighbors and e-mail or telephone their

pool of buyer-clients advising of the upcom ing open house and asking them to pass the word.

■ Reinforce the for-sale sign w ith news­paper advertisem ents heralding th e event an d directional signs on the big day, itself.

■ M ake sure th e sellers are gone d u r­ing the open house so visitors can be free to m ake com m ents and ask questions w ithou t the w orry o f offending o r being followed around.

■ Ask your sellers to take kids, pets, valuables, collectibles, cash, guns and prescrip tion m edications w ith them out o f th e home.

■ Never show an open house alone or allow visitors to w alk through unescort­ed. Bring along a colleague or family

m em ber to help w ith the showing.■ Visitors should be honest w ith host

Realtors about their m otivation for stop­ping; they should also indicate w hether they’re already working w ith an agent.

■ Realize th a t success can be m easured on a lot o f different levels, even w ith no sale.

Feedback gleaned by sellers from visi­tors on price and condition o f the house can be used to better m arket the p roper­ty. Buyers who may no t select th a t house can use th e walk-through to better focus their search. Host Realtors may connect w ith new clients.

Then, too, some open houses do sell as open houses.

L a n d t r u s t s p r e s e r v e n a t u r a l a r e a s(AP) - All over the Northwest and

across the country, a growing num ber of conservation groups are joining forces and scraping together money to keep undevel­oped land from being gobbled up by subur­ban development.

But it’s not always a battle between developers and tree-huggers.

“Businesses understand th a t people live in a community because of the natural beauty in it, and they’re really heartbroken when they see their community becoming nothing bu t a patchwork o f strip malls and cookie cutter subdivisions,” said M artha Nudel, spokeswoman for the Land Trust Alliance, a W ashington, D.C.-based non­profit

Founded in 1982, the Land Trust Alliance gives money, training and other help to more than 1,200 land trusts nationwide, which have preserved about 6.2 million acres o f open space nationally in the past two decades.

Most of the groups were formed in the m id- to late-1980s, after Congress m ade it easier for people and businesses to get tax breaks for donating land.

Their fund-raising tactics vary from gov­ernm ent grants, private donations, low- interest loans, voter-approved bonds, membership dues, even back yard garden tours.

In areas like the Puget Sound region of Seattle, population growth makes residen­tial development an inevitability. T hat

could p it open-space advocates against the real-estate industry, bu t in m any cases, land tru sts say head-butting between con­servationists and developers is rare.

“They see it the sam e w a y ... m aintaining and increasing the value o f a com m unity So there is a unity there,” said Russ Shay, public policy director for th e Land Trust Alliance.

Preserving open space m ay not make sense for many sm aller developers, said Peter Orser, executive vice president of Q uadrant, a real estate developer and hom e builder based in th e Seattle area.

But it can reap huge rew ards for those who can afford it, said Orser, who sits on the board o f one o f the state’s largest land trusts, th e Cascade Land Conservancy.

“W hat people have come to acknowledge is th a t the quality o f the com m unity and the contribution back to th e community is as im portan t as ju s t the development itself,” O rser said.

Some land deals are huge, like the pro­posed Evergreen Forest T rust - a plan the Cascade Land Conservancy drew up with tim ber g iant W eyerhaeuser Co. to preserve more th an 100,000 acres in the foothills o f W ashington state’s Cascade M ountains east o f Seattle.

Setting aside part o f th e land for tim ber harvesting would set up a revenue source to pay off tax-free bonds to buy the land, recently valued a t $185 million.

Rep. Jennifer D unn (R-Wash.) said the

deal “will p ro tect vital hab itats and w ater­shed, it will allow the a rea to be u sed for recreation and it will keep th e mills work­ing so th a t tim ber w orkers can re ta in their jobs.”

O n the sm aller end o f th e scale, the Vashon-M aury Island Land Trust has set aside 376 acres in the past 12 years.

“O ur island is betw een the m etropolitan areas of Seattle and Tacoma, so there 's an intense pressure for developm ent in a real­ly wonderful island setting,” said Julie Burman, th e group’s executive director.

In 2001, the 470-m em ber group worked w ith the A udubon Society to acquire 30 acres near a tree-ringed pond th a t falls w ithin the northern m igration route for neotropical songbirds. Its biggest deal to date was the $2.5 m illion 155-acre Shinglemill Salm on Preserve com pleted last year.

The Vashon-M aury Island L and Trust gets most o f its m oney from federal, state and local grants. I t also relies on private donations, dues from its 470 m em bers, and various com m unity fund-raisers, like tours o f back yard gardens.

W hat’s driving the land tru s t movement?Burm an’s theory is th a t “it’s a recogni­

tion th a t the pressure from developm ent is strong and if we’re going to save special places, the tim e is now.”

M em orial s ty m ie s sale(AP) - Town officials near

Indianapolis may have to settle a dispute between a grieving family and a property owner who wants to remove a road­side memorial for a teenager who died in a traffic crash.

Leaders in Fishers, Ind., are weighing w hether town work­ers should remove a shrine for Bryce Mitchell from a yard.

Over objections from M itchell’s family, property qwn- ers Bob and Tammi H em an

have asked m unicipal officials to take away a basketball back- board and o ther items, claim­ing th a t they are hindering attem pts to sell their home.

Since th e house in the Indianapolis suburb w ent up for sale last summer, several potential buyers have indicated they were deterred by the m emorial, said Duane Trinkle, Tammi H em an’s real estate agent.

F i x e d m o r t g a g e r a t e s r e a c h r e c o r d l o w(AP) - M ortgage rates dropped to a new

low again last week, providing good news for people th inking about buying a home or refinancing the one they already own.

The average interest rate on 30-year fixed-rate m ortgages fell to 5.67 percent for the week ending M arch 7, Freddie Mac, the mortgage company, reported in its weekly nationw ide survey.

T hat surpassed the record low rate o f 5.79 percent set the previous week and m arked th e fourth tim e this year th a t rates on the benchm ark m ortgage dipped to a new weekly low.

Last week’s rate was the lowest since Freddie M ac began tracking 30-year m ort­gage rates in 1971. Records th a t reach back earlier th a n Freddie Macs indicate tha t fate is th e lowest since the early 1960s.

Rates for 15-year fixed-rate mortgages, a popular option for refinancing, plunged last week to 5.01 percent, com pared With 5.14 percent. T hat new rate is the lowest since Freddie M ac began tracking 15-year mortgages in 1991.

Recent m ortgage rate declines were spurred by falling rates in th e Treasury bond m arket, influenced by concerns

Recent mortgage rate declines were spurred by falling rates in the Treasury bond market, influenced by concerns about a war with Iraq.

about a war w ith Iraq, economists said.“The political and economic uncertainty

of a war with Iraq is wearing on the confi­dence o f consumers and restraining busi­ness expansion,” said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “That, in turn, translates into a weaker economy, which places downward pressure on inter­est and mortgage rates.”

Rates for one-year adjustable rate m ort­gages dipped last week to 3.76 percent, down from the previous week’s 3.83 per­cent.

Low mortgage rates propelled hom e sales and home-mortgage refinancing activity to record levels last year.

As consum ers swap higher-interest rate hom e loans for low er-interest rate ones, the extra cash has helped to support con­sum er spending. So have rising hom e val­ues.

Earlier last week, Federal Reserve Chairm an Alan Greenspan said the high­flying housing m arket is likely to lose a bit o f altitude this year. T hat could slow con­sum er spending, one o f the economy's few brigh t spots, he cautioned.

Greenspan said a slowing in the hom e- mortgage refinancing boom and in hom e prices could tu rn hom eowners into more cautious consumers.

Refinancing activity has accounted for about 75 percent o f recent m ortgage appli­cations, the M ortgage Bankers Association reports.

Last week’s m ortgage rates don’t include add-on fees know n as points. Each loan type carried an average fee o f 0.6 point this week. A point is 1 percent o f the loan am ount.

A year ago, rates on 30-year mortgages averaged 6.87 percent, 15-year mortgages were 6.37 percent and one-year adjustable m ortgages stood a t 5.07 percent.

The Silver Birch body color of the model I drove was com plem ented nicely by the d a rk vanes of the chromed, signature Lincoln grill and large halogen headlamps that dominate Aviator’s face. There is just enough chrome - also including the roof rack, the win­dow-belt molding and the rear-license-plate surround to remind you that it's a Lincoln. And the overall styling is just rounded enough to suggest slipperiness without making you worry that you're sacrificing interi­or space.

A couple of particularly nice exterior features: The door handles can be grasped from either top or bottom, and the hood-release lever inside the cabin trips a sec­ondary latch "presenter" that slides out from between the grill vanes to show clearly how to open the hood. However, the system for unlatching the two-part rear door was difficult for me to operate and not at all intu­itive: The upper portion opened OK with the button on the key fob, but the full door would unlatch only inter­mittently in the model I drove. And when it did, it was too difficult for me to nudge the rear door open to a point where the hydraulic lifting mechanism would take over.
