Patriotic: The Field Elementary Ensemble sings "America" at the schools "Silver Jubilee' re-dedication celebration last Thursday night.

Field, celebrates a silver anniversary BY DOUG JOHNSON STAFF W R I T E R

Staff and students at Field Elementary (1000 S. Hag-gerty, Canton) celebrated

the school's silver anniversary Wednesday evening.

From 6:30 to 8 p.m. a "reded-ication" of the Mildred Field Elementary School was held, and included a program in the gym and displays in the halls and elp.ssrof.r;!1-' i'n*" sct"1.; was first dedicated on Dec. 12 in 1976, and so that very day was picked for this party.

"We tried to mirror our cele-bration program to the original dedication ceremony. They had 20 Girl Scouts and Boy Scout, we had 20. The fifth grade sang, our fifth grade sang," said Principal David Farquhar-

son. Farquharson began his

career as a first-year teacher at Field, and was pleased to see Field students who were nine or ten years old when he first met them come back Wednesday night as adults.

"It was really heart-warming to see so many former stu-dents, parents and staff," he said. One highlight was a visit P'on, ih-.- Fu -s• Field prfiripy] Larry Miller, now retired and living in Traverse City. Anoth-er faculty member came from as far away as North Carolina.

Sheldon Place answers due soon BY DOUG JOHNSON STAFF WRITER

Senior residents who lost their apartments in the now-abandoned Sheldon Place building may get some definitive news sometime next week.

Patrick Higgins, spokesman for the National Ohurch Resi-1

d e * Ohio, • owners of t h e a p a r t m e i i t !

building, said the company; hope^s ,to have some answers ' by Thursday. 1

Bottom line? They think the 1 building can be repaired, Hig-; gins; said. Substantiai l e a k s ;

and cracks in the structure drove the seniors residents out in mid-August. This senior hous-ing building, and another, Canton Place, are near Ford and Sheldon roads.

"We have never h&d a situation like this in 40 years," Higgins said Thursday . ; • B B ' S S S S S S T B S "We have 215 of • U D 9 B K V B N these facilities all • i n n • • y r over the country UPPATE• and this has never happened . I t is ; regrettable ... beyond regrettable. We are not taking it lightly."

Higgins said the problem had cost the com-pany more than $250,000 so far. The 56-unit," $4.4 million building is only three years old. ^

Canton resident Sue Merchant's mother was the first person to move in three years ago.

"When the repairs didn't start, we had a lot' of questions. They (the former residents) are waiting for something ~ just some answers. It b:- . . etting. They are wondering: Can wt" f.-v'c-i gel back home, or should we find something else, somewhere else to live?"

Residents were moved to a hotel short term but have since found other places toJive, or are staying with family. ;

NCR's focus has been determining who is at -fault, Higgins said, primarily through discus- • sions with the contractor. The building was; built by DeMaria Building Co. of Novi, and; they have been coopera t ing . They have '

Former board president won't be charged BY TONY BRUSCATO STAFF W R I T E R t b rusca to@oe .homecomm.ne t

A police investigation has deter-mined there won't be any criminal charges filed against former Plymouth-Canton school board president Mike Maloney in a case involving alleged false identity.

Dearborn police Det. Sgt. Neil Myers, who conducted the investigation, said "the evidence to substantiate suspicion just wasn't there and we couldn't pro-ceed."

Maloney had been investigated for using a false name in order to obtain confidential employment information about Supe r in t enden t Kath leen

Booher. The district's attorney, Kari Shay,

had asked the prosecutor's office to look into 18 telephone calls that were made from Maloney's office at Lear Corporation in Dearborn to Berkley Schools, Booher's former district.

One of the telephone calls was about 30 minutes in length. However, Myers said tha t call, which was the main stimulus for the investigation, was not made from Lear or Maloney's cell phone. Myers said he didn't talk to Maloney because without direct link-age to the call, there wasn't enough evidence.

"I've done nothing wrong, and I've certainly not done anything illegal —

period," said Maloiley. "The impact tha t this has had on my family has been terrible.

"In my opinion, the school district went out of its way to smear me as a way of deflecting criticism for budget deficits and an ill-conceived master plan which closes Miller School, repur-poses Central Middle School and elimi-nates the Talented and Gifted pro-gram," he added. "I feel it is a real shame that four months have passed and the district now has bigger prob-lems than ever."

Booher, who returned to work mid-. week af te r a t t end ing her brother ' s funeral, had not heard details of the > police investigation and declined com-ment. \ ~ !

Meanwhile, the attorney general's office high cringes unit is investigating a bogus e-mail t ha t was sent to 40 administrators, and made to look as if it were sent by Booher with a signature • of "K." r

While Shay-was confident of who . made the telephone calls to Berkley, she said there axe no suspects in the e-mail case. \

The Canton Fire Depart-m e n t will conduct a "live b u r n " t r a i n i n g

on Lotz Road south of Palmer will be used, according to Canton Fire Chief Mike Rorabacher. The bui ldings were acquired via a donation from a local developer, Robertson Brothers.

"These training burns provide a unique opportunity for realistic

The d e p a r t m e n t will follow safety guidelines for live burns established by the National Fire Protection Association. Two fire engines will be on stand-by in case of any problems, Rorabach-er added.

While a good portion of depart-ment personnel will be involved in the training, Rorabacher said normal staffing and services at both Canton Fire stations will be maintained.

Residents in the area will be receiving a correspondence from t h e F i r e Chief d e t a i l i n g t h e nature of this training and will be advised to call fire adminis-tration with any questions.

NCR was recently awarded five grants totaling $18,508,600 for t he construction of five affordable senior housing facili-ties in four states.

The grant will allow NCR to construct a total of 238 apart-ment units. Construction on all facilit ies is expected to begin within two years.

In November, the U.S. Depart-ment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced t h a t NCR had been granted funding through the HUD 202 (affordable senior housing) pro-gram to construct the facilities.

NCR is a not-for-profit housing organization; their Web site is NCR.org.

Dog bites Canton police officer; truck taken A Canton police officer became

the victim Wednesday afternoon when he was dispatched on a report of a dog running loose.

A woman called police to report that she was almost bit-ten by a boxer while walking along the sidewalk in the 39000 block of Cather,

When the officer arrived at the scene, the woman pointed out the house where the dog lived. According to his report, as the officer was knocking on the door of the house he saw the dog out of the corner of his eye coming toward him. He reached for something on his belt to defend himself, but the dog lunged and bit him on his left thigh.

A resident of the house said she had let the dog out in the back yard about 20 minutes ear-lier and he apparently jumped the fence.

The owner of the house said the dog belonged to someone

Complex has new name: Victory Park It was a victory of sorts for

the Canton Softball Complex at Tuesday night's Board of Trustees meeting.

The board voted unanimous-ly to change the name of the complex to Victory Park.

Ann Conklin, director of Leisure Services, said the soft-ball center now houses more than softball fields and it's appropriate that the name

reflect its many uses. In addition, she said, the

name Victory Park follows a tradition established with other parks in the township, such as Freedom, Indepen-dence and Heritage.

She said the addition of indoor soccer and ice have expanded the uses of the prop-erty far beyond softball fields.

"We now refer to the ice

arena as Arctic Edge at the Softball Center, which doesn't make a lot of sense," she said.

A new entry sign is being designed and will be placed at the main entrance to the park Each individual facility will have its own sign, which will follow the color and design scheme of the main sign.

School district OKs 7 buses; director says more needed B Y T O N Y B R U S C A T O STAFF W R I T E R • tbruscato@oe.homecomm.uiei

The Plymouth-Canton school board has approved the purchase of seven new school buses.; How-ever, t ha t ' s only a f rac t ion of wha t t r a n s p o r t a t i o n d i rec tor Melvin Latnie feels is needed to replenish an aging fleet. ; J

"At l e a s t 60. pe rcen t of our buses are at or near the 'end of their life expectancy," said Lat-nie in a report to the Bo£rd of Education and Superintendent Kathleen Booher. "Presently, we need to replace a minimum of 44 buses now to get us on a 10-year replacement program wi thout addressing fu ture community

needs." The seven buses will be pur-

chased with $535,000 in interest earned from the 1998 Discovery Middle School bond issue. Lat-nie is h o p i n g t h e b o a r d will approve another 15 buses in the near fu ture with $1.1 million in interest earned from 1998 and 1999 bond issues.

Latnie told t rustees a t Tues-day's board meeting the district needs to discontinue the process of using bond money to purchase buses, and instead develop a line item in the general fund budget to begin a yearly replacement schedule.

"We despera te ly need a line item to purchase buses each and

every year," Latnie said.. "To get on a 10-year replacement, pro-gram, and to address community growth and service, we would have to purchase an initial 52 buses. After the init ial phase, we would have to average buying 6-15 buses each and every year.

"It's a big commitment, but a necessary one needed to provide the kind of sendee the, communi-ty wants and'deserves," he said.

l a t n i e said to factor in com-muni ty 'needs and growth, the district must increase the size of the fleet from 114 buses to rl21.

"The bus i s s u e h a s been a r o u n d a long t ime , " sa id Trustee Susan Davis. "I think you need a line ittem in the bud-get each year for t he replace-ment of some buses. My recom-m e n d a t i o n is th 'at we need a serious conversation about that."

Las t month , b u s dr iver Del Templeton warned board mem-bers about- the extremely poor condition of buses; some of which have more than 200,000 miles on them.

"The PlymouthrCanton school bus fleet is currently in a state of disrepair," said Templeton. "The overall integrity of the bus fleet is in question."

Latnie has come up with sug-

gestions as to how district trans-portation costs can be reduced, wi th t he savings used to pur -chase buses.

• Latnie would like to see the number of field t r ips reduced. He sa id t h e t r a n s p o r t a t i o n d e p a r t m e n t p rov ided a l m o s t 3,000 field t r ips and extended day services l a s t school year , which resulted in 94,772 addi-tional miles on the fleet. Accord-ing to Latnie, this year alone the school d i s t r i c t will s p e n d $591,227 for jus t the basic field trip costs. Athletic field trips for the 2001-02 are projected to be a t least $159,772.

• Latnie told the board he 's b e g u n to p u r s u e co l l a t e r a l a r r a n g e m e n t s on shared pu r -chases of fuel with neighboring school districts. Latnie said last year the district spent $385,664 on diesel fuel costs. By working w i t h n e i g h b o r i n g school d is -tr icts , Latnie said the dis t r ic t

could buy fuel in large volumes, saving literally thousands of dol-lars each year.

Bill approving 3rd judge goes to governor's desk BY BRAD KADRICH STAFF WRITER bkadrich@oe.homeconim.net

It looks like the 35th District Court is finally going to get what most observers feel it has need-ed for years — a third judge.

House Bill 4788, sponsored by State Rep. Bruce Patterson, (R-Canton), made its way through both the Senate (on a 20-12 vote) and the House of Representa-tives (89-9). late Thursday night, meaning the only thing standing between the 35th District Court and a th i rd judgesh ip is Gov. John Engler's signature.

"I'm glad to fulfill a promise I made to the communities," Pat-terson said. "It was a long time-line, but I was committed. We have to make sure (Engler) signs it into law. Our local legislators have had lengthy conversations with the l i eu t enan t governor, and I'm very optimistic."

For nearly a decade, 35th Dis-t r ic t Cour t j u d g e s h a v e been seeking a third judgeship. Fig-

ures released by the court show judges John MacDonald and Ron Lowe h a n d l e an ave rage of 22,389 cases a year. That com-pares to the statewide average case load of 12,7635. To help with the caseload, 35th District Court has been using a visiting judge and part-time magistrate to handle some of the cases.

So the news was welcome to MacDonald, chief judge of the court.

"Obviously we thought this was necessary years ago," Mac-Donald said. "We're thrilled."

A s s u m i n g Engler s igns the bill, the judgeship would be on the ballot in the 2002 election cycle. The bill calls for the newly elected judge to s t a r t a te rm b e g i n n i n g J a n . 1, 2003. The interest ing thing, according to Patterson, is the eight-year term that will be up for grabs.

"It'll be quite an interest ing judgeship, because it's an eight-year term," Patterson said. "It's not just a short term, so I'm sure

• 35TH COURT lots of people will be interested."

Pat terson will not be among them, contrary to rumors tha t occasionally pop up.

"I filed a senate exploratory committee, and my expectation is I'll either serve in the s ta te house or the state senate start-ing in 2003, not on the bench," Patterson said. "That would be a g r e a t honor , bu t i t ' s not my intention."

Though the bill was sponsored by Patterson, the Canton repre-sentative was quick to point out it was more of a team effort.

"The over-arching principle is that these things never happen because of one person's efforts," Patterson said. "Senators Loren Bennet t (R-Canton) and Thad-deus McCotter (R-Livonia) did some heavy lifting in the senate, and it all came toge the r la te (Thursday) night."

UM-D garners recognition for its Natural Areas The Natural Areas on the cam-

pus of the University of Michi-gan-Dearborn has been recog-nized fo r i t s wi ld l i fe h a b i t a t management and environmental education efforts by the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC), a non-profit, non-lobbying organization dedicated to increasing the qual-ity and amount of wildlife habi-t a t on corpora te , p r iva t e and

public lands. The Natural Areas is now one

of 288 sites worldwide certified by the WHC's corporate wildlife habitat certification/internation-al accreditation program.

"Having the campus's Natural Areas certified by the Wildlife Habitat Council is a fine recogni-tion for the efforts of many peo-ple on our campus and in our

communi ty who recognize the t r e a s u r e we h a v e on a u r b a n campus," according to biology Professor Orin Gelderloos, direc-tor of the Natural Areas.

"Some very significant habi-tats , such as forests and fields, a r e p r e s e r v e d in p e r p e t u i t y thanks to the efforts of persons s u c h as H e n r y Ford , J e n s Jensen, and a few of the first fac-

ulty members on this campus," Gelderloos said. "It is an honor to join with the other organiza-tions around the world who are involved in p re se rva t ion and environmental education."

AAA: Holiday travel will increase 16 percent An e s t i m a t e d 1.68 mil l ion

Michiganians — 17 percent of s t a t e r e s i d e n t s - have t ravel plans for the upcoming Christ-mas/ New Year's holiday period, according to a AAA Michigan su rvey . T h a t ' s a 16-percent increase over last year, when an estimated 1.4 million planned a Yuletide car, train or plane ride.

The estimated number of trav-elers for Christmas 2001 ties the record for this time period set in 1999. AAA Michigan has been t rack ing holiday t ravel inten-tions since 1996.

The majority of Michiganians - 87 percent - will travel at least 100 mi l e s f rom home , an increase of 7 percentage points over last year. Nearly two-thirds of those t ravel ing (64 percent) will be leaving the state, and the number of people intending to fly is up over last year. In 2000, 68 percent traveled by car, truck or van and 25 percent flew. This year, 64 percent said they will travel by car and 30 percent will fly.

Based on projected requests for TripTik rout ings and AAA Travel air reservations, the most p o p u l a r d e s t i n a t i o n s ou ts ide Mich igan are : By a i r : 1) Las Vegas, 2) Orlando, 3) Tampa, 4)

Ft. Myers, 5) Phoenix. By land: 1) Orlando, 2) Myrtle Beach, 3) Washington, D.C., 4) Atlanta, 5) Nashville. The average planned length for a holiday trip is nine days, compared with seven last year.

"We believe this signals a posi-tive change in consumer a t t i -tudes toward travel - air travel in particular," said Larry Dick-ens, Director of Vendor Relations and T r a v e l S u p p o r t for AAA Michigan.

Other survey findings: • The average amount travel-

ers expect to spend is more than $2,000, double last year's aver-age cost of $1,000. (The increase in cost was due to three respon-d e n t s who p l a n on s p e n d i n g $17,000, $30,000 and $35,000 respectively. When these individ-uals are removed from the sam-ple, the average cost of Christ-mas vacation 2001 is $874.)

• F lo r ida (40 pe rcen t ) and Ohio (10 percent) are the most popular out-of-state destinations cited by respondents, followed by California (8 percent) and Illi-nois (6 percent).

• Upon arrival at the destina-tion, plans for accommodations are: With relatives (53 percent);

Canton can't keep pace with Stevenson Tommy Zagata scored a pair of goals

and had one assist, while Jared Gaudet contributed three assists as Livonia Stevenson routed Plymouth Canton 8-2 in a Western Lakes Activities Associa-tion hockey encounter Wednesday at Edgar Arena in Livonia.

The Spartans improved to 3-1 over-all', 3-0 in the WLAA. Canton is 3-5 overall, 2-4 in the conference.

Mike McCray contributed one goal and two assists for the Spartans, who led 2-0 after one period and 5-1 after 30 minutes.

"We probably could have kept it clos-er," said Canton coach Dan Abraham, whose team has endured injuries to several key players all season. "These are th ings we've been dealing with. And things are getting better.

"It's tough to have those injuries, but I'm encouraged. I'm optimistic. By the same token, Stevenson is one of the best h igh school hockey teams I've every seen."

The Chiefs have been hampered by injuries to Ryan McCabe (separated shoulder), Nick Norville (ankle sprain), Mike Carson (knee injury) and Ryan McKendry (broken wrist) all season long. All of them are getting close to 100 percent.

"We're 3-5 right now, but we've been in most of the games we've played," said Abraham. "I think that now that we're nearly healthy, we'll have some more success."

In the Stevenson game, Matt Calus, Jonny O'Neill, Josh Latzman and Jeff Kraemer contributed one goal and one assist each. Stu Miller also scored for

had three goals and two assists Friday as host Plymouth Salem (6-0-1 overall, 5-0-1 in the conference) toppled Livo-nia Franklin in a WLAA game at the Plymouth Cultural Center.

Salem outshot the Patriots 14-6 in the opening period and took a 4-0 lead.

"Salem is real fast, they go 100 per-cent and they keep their feet moving," F r a n k l i n coach Terry Jobbit t said. "They caught us totally and completely

f l a t in t h e f i r s t per iod . We stood around and watched."

Br ian Young, Mike Crowley and John Schul tz each scored goals for Salem. B r a d Prood ian added two assists.

The start to the season Plymouth Salem's gymnastics team put together last year drew attention, to be sure.

The Rocks' finish did not. "We peaked early in the season and never went above

that," said Salem coach Melissa Hopson, now in her fifth season as head coach. "We never got any better."

"We did really well at the regionals," Hopson said. "We placed fourth, just .05 behind Ann Arbor Huron for third."

Perhaps it was just as well. That finish should provide the Rocks with plenty of incentive.

"They're very motivated," said Hopson of her team. Certainly there's plenty of talent and experience. Gone,

from last season's squad are Ashley Heard and Kristen Miller, both solid gymnasts.

However, they might have trouble breaking into the cur-rent lineup. Five seniors return: April Aquinto, Melissa Drake, Staci Schmedding, Kara Dendrinos and Stefanie Olli. Aquinto and Drake are the most experienced and should compete in the all-around.

Canton gymnasts seek better season BY C. J. RISAK SPORTS EDITOR cjrisak@oe.homecomm.net

Optimism has never been a problem for Plymouth Can-ton gymnastics coach John Cunningham. But that quality • may be tested this season.

The Chiefs struggled through a sub-par season last-year, finishing 17th out of 19 teams at their own Canton. Invitational, eighth in an nine-team field at the Western" Lakes Activities Association Finals, and ninth out of 15 t e a m s a t t h e s t a t e r e g i o n a l meet. T h e i r h i g h e s t t e a m

score at any of those events was 132.325. If Cunningham had been rebuilding, if last season's

team was young and inexperienced, then maybe an off-year could be expected. But tha t wasn' t the case, not exactly.

Four of his top five gymnasts from last season's team won't be back this year. Amy Driscoll, Kristin Schilk and Jessica Krueger have all graduated; Jackie Bennington has opted not to participate this year.

Considering last season's squad rarely reached the mid-1308, what can Cunningham — recently inducted into the Michigan High School Coaches Athletic Association Hall of Fame — expect as he tries to rebuild again?

"This is a better team than last year's," Cunningham promised. "Even with the loss of Driscoll, Schilk, Krueger and Bennington. We have a bit more depth.

"It's just not going to show in the beginning." In the Chiefs ' season-opener aga ins t WLAA rival

Walled Lake Wednesday a t Canton, they did come up short, losing 133.0-129.25. It was not a good omen for Canton.

Morrell sparkles for NCAA power North Carolina

Imagine winning a state champi-onship and an NCAA title in a five-month span, and playing a pivotal

role on both teams. For Anne Morrell, such perfection

evaded her by just one game — indeed, by one goal.

The Canton native who was named. Miss Soccer in both her junior and senior years at Plymouth Canton HS, leading the Chiefs to the state title last June, joined a team that is, by any col-legiate standard, legendary.

Morrell signed with the University of North Carolina when she was a junior at Canton. Upon graduation last June, after scoring all three of the Chiefs' goals in a 3-1 win over Troy in the state final, she didn't rest on her lau-rels.

If you're headed to a program like North Carolina's, you'd better be ready.

This is a school that has thoroughly dominated this sport. No team has a track record like the one Anson Dor-rance has compiled at North Carolina, where he has won 17 national champi-onships in the 24 years of women's soc-cer competition. In the Atlantic Coast .. Conference, North Carolina has 14 championships in 15 seasons.

So how did Anne Morrell approach 1

her first year at such a prestigious i school? With determination and resolve, of course. ' 1

It's the only way for Morrell, one of the greatest female athletes ever at Canton HS and, for that matter, from Observerland. She's the only Chief to have her jersey number retired.

\ C.J. RISAK

But in addition to her on-field suc-cess — she scored 40 goals as a senior — Morrell was an honor-roll student. She was smart enough to realize none of it would matter at the collegiate level.

"It was definitely a major difference," Morrell said of the transition. "The competitiveness, the intensity . . . Hardly anything was the same."

Of course, it was exactly the kind of atmosphere Morrell relished. The more competitive, the bigger the challenge, the more she likes it.

"When I got there I did work hard through the preseason," Morrell said. "I just earned my spot.*

That she did. On a team that advanced to the NCAA Championship, Morrell was a starter at forward. And she was a starter for nearly the entire ? season.

Twenty-three of 25 games — that's how many she started. She finished with eight goals and eight assists, tying for fourth on the team in scoring.

Her biggest collegiate moment came in the Tar Heels' NCAA Tournament match against Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights scored in the 12th minute and kept that 1-0 lead until, 18:55 into the second half, Morrell gathered in a pass from Jena Kluegel, pivoted and drib-bled twice, then unleashed a shot that beat Rutgers' keeper Christine Cald-well to the left to knot it at 1-all.

Jordan Walker got the game-winner for North Carolina with eight minutes to play, giving the Tar Heels a 2-1 win and a spot in the NCAA quarterfinals.

North Carolina went on to defeat both Penn State and Portland in the quarterfinals and semis, respectively, by identical 2-1 scores. Which set up last Sunday's NCAA final opposite Santa Clara.

Which is where that one goal comes in. The Broncos' Aly Wagner scored with four minutes left in the first half, and that proved to be all her team would need as it shutout the Heels 1-0 in Dallas.

Santa Clara earned its first-ever NCAA title in women's soccer. A shock maybe, but no more shocking than North Carolina's not winning.

The Tar Heels had won their 33 pre-vious games going into the NCAA title match. They were bidding to become the first team since 1993 to go through a season unbeaten (that was North Carolina).

For, Morrell, it was a setback. A dis-appointment. But such adversity is not a stranger to her.

She labored through three years at

Star is rising: Anne Morrell of Canton went from the best player in the state to a starter with perennial NCAA champ. North Carolina.

Canton with superior teams that could never manage to win their final game. Her fortunes, and Canton's, changed last June when the Chiefs finally claimed that elusive state crown.

Morrell will get three more shots at1

an NCAA title at North Carolina. Already she's planning what she must do better to make it happen.

"You can always get better," she said.

The loss left Madonna at 7-5 overall. WSU is 8-2.

The Crusaders, who trailed 34-32 at the half, led just once in the second half, 44-43 on a three-pointer by Carissa Gizicki at 15:24. But although the War-r iors s tayed in f ront , i t was never by much: Their biggest lead of the second half, and of the game, was eight (58-50 with 10:13 to play).

Three times in the final three

minutes Madonna crept to with-in a single point, the last at 1:51 on two free throws by Nikki Blaszak, which made it 73-72. WSU, however, scored the game's final six points to insure the win.

Lindsay Simmon led the Cru-saders with 24 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the floor and 10-of-13 from the free-throw line. Kathy Panganis added 15 points, eight rebounds and four assists, Blaszak had 12 points and five steals, and Gizicki finished with eight points, six assists and two steals.

Williams leads SC rout His game is as smooth as silk,

shades former UCLA Bruin Keith Wilkes.

Schoolcraft College's Mike Williams put on a dazzling dis-play Wednesday with a career-high 42 points, 12 rebounds and six steals as the host Ocelots routed Delta Community Col-lege, 126-56.

Schoolcraft, ranked No. 10 in the l a t e s t NJCAA Division I men's basketball poll, improved to 9-0 overall.

Williams, the wirey 6-foot-7 forward from Detroit City High, hit 18-of-22 shots from the floor while impressing a slew of col-lege scouts including representa-tives from Oklahoma, Central Michigan, University of Detroit Mercy and Oakland University.

"It was a nice performance because Mike played within him-self and the guys did a good job of getting him the ball in scoring position," Schoolcraft coach Car-los Briggs. "We also did a good job defensively. We were able to score off their turnovers."

• M E N ' S H O O P

The Ocelots jumped out to a 56-33 ha l f t ime lead aga ins t Delta, which slipped to 3-4 over-all.

Yaku Moton-Spruill, a 6-8 cen-ter from Westland John Glenn, added 25 points and n ine rebounds. Point-guard Rulon Harris, a signee with U-D Mercy, added 13 points and seven assists.

Ron Dorsey also scored 13. Schoolcraft hit 64 percent of

its shots from the field (52-of-81) and 17-of-25 from the free throw

WSU pounds Madonna It just wasn't pretty. Wayne State University took a

15-point lead at the half and kept pulling away to earn an 80-44 victory over Madonna Univer-sity Wednesday at WSU.

For the Fighting Crusaders, the loss was the i r e ighth-

House finches suffer from new disease

Bird feeders close to the house allow easy viewing of the many species that use it.

If it's too fa r away, the fine details of each individual cannot be appreciated. Most of the time that fine detail is the beauty of feather color and texture, but sometimes it involves deformi-ties.,

I have a male house finch vis-i t ing our feeder with one eye completely covered because of a swollen eyelid.

This swelling is caused by a bacteria t h a t began infecting house finches near Washington, D.C. in 1994. The bacter ia ' s technical name is Mycoplasm gallisepticum.

It's not new to the U.S., poul-try farms are familiar'with this disease, but it was not noticed in house finch before 1994.

Upon its discovery, the Feeder-Watch program sponsored by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, initi-ated a study to document the spread and extent of the disease.

By November of 1994 reports from Virginia, southern Ontario and southern New Hampshire outlined a t r i angu la r shaped range for the disease.

In 1995, t he disease had spread to Georgia, Illinois, Que-bec, and Missouri , Iowa and Minnesota. By 1997, the disease had been observed in the Dako-tas. This was a remarkable docu-mentation demonstrating how fast a disease could spread in the avian world. *

Juveni le house finch have been shown to be long distance travelers. They disperse great distances to search for unoccu-pied t e r r i to r i es and to avoid extreme weather. This habit con-t r ibuted to the spread of Mycoplasmal conjunctivitis.

House finch also tend to flock more than other species. Close contact with infected birds helps spread the disease within a local population.

Today, nine western s ta tes have documented the disease, along with Colorado and New Mexico. These states are close to the original population of house finches that were used to intro-duce this species to the eastern states in 1940.

Myco]?] asmal conjunctivitis is more common today in the mid-

Atlantic s ta tes than in other regions,, but as the house finch at my feeders will attest to, its still evident. ;

Has this disease affected the overall populat ion of house finch?

In short, yes. Populations of house finch in

the east have declined notice-ably.

In Oakland County, according to the Detroit Audubon Society Christmas Bird Count data, the population has shown some fluc-tuation.

House finch were f i r s t observed in 1984. Their numbers rose to a peak in 1993. Since 1993, their numbers have aver-aged a little more than half of the 1993 peak number of 440 individuals. In 2000, the number counted was similar to t h a t reported for 1991.

I am impressed with how well this, essentially, one-eyed bird can fly and land without difficul-ty.

A one eyed bird does not have depth perception like birds with normal vision. Yet when I watched this individual, it land-ed on a perch without hesitation and did not have trouble gather-ing food.

I did notice that when he fed at the feeder, he usually kept the good eye looking away from the feeder. Spotting predators will be difficult for this bird.

He has avoided death over the several weeks since I f i r s t noticed him, but based on the decline in house finch popula-tions, its likely this bird will become a victim before too long.

U.S. Open brings out the best Last Sunday was a special

t rea t ' for bowling fans as both the men 's and women's U.S. Open events were televised on ESPN. It was a solid three hours of televised pro bowling at it's best.

On the men's side, it was the f irst t ime tha t a foreign-born bowler had won, as Mika Koivu-niemi of Finland took the honors and the $100,000 f i rs t -place purse. Koivuniemi is currently a resident of Ann Arbor, so he was representing the Detroit area as well as his native land.

As for the female circuit , Belleville's Lisa Bishop gave it a valiant effort but came up a little short of making it to the tele-vised finals. At mid-week, Bish-op held f irst place among the qualifiers, but then slipped to tenth.

Kim Terrell emerged victori-ous, beating everyone including leading qual i f ier , Wendy McPherson. Terrell was nicely locked-in, and proved to be unbeatable.

The Ladies top pr ize was $45,000, which is not as much as the men ' s prize, bu t much greater than past tournament

The board of directors will be

planning for the American Bowl-ing Congress convention in March at Billings, Mont.

These conventions are basic to the way the sport of bowling will be guided in the years to come. The hot topic these days is the possibility of a unified Single Membership Organization, an idea whose time has come.

The big question is how best to go about this vast undertaking without negative results? The board has decided to put .off a vote on the i ssue un t i l some more studies can be done.

Old Timers results The Old Timers Bowling Tour-

nament has come and gone. The winners were all announced and awards were given out.

Something new was added this year, however, as two young men were chosen to receive the tour-n a m e n t ' s f i r s t scholarship awards in the amount of $500 each, which will help fu r the r t h e i r educat ion beyond high school.

Jeff Sosnowski of Westland, a recent graduate of John Glenn High School, was one of t he scholarship recipients.

He is now attending School-

craft College and aims to pursue a career as an electrical engi-neer. He accepted his award during the opening ceremonies and made a big h i t wi th t h e elders when he took the mike in hand and said, "I look forward to bowling here . . . later in life, see you in about 40 years."

m Clothing fits the sport By Mickey MacWilliams Executive Director of the Michigan Ski Industries Association

Free ride - skiing anywhere on the mountain, in all conditions and at all speeds - is also commonly used to describe some of the new looks in clothing. Free ride outerwear is cutting-edge clothing technology designed to be water resistant, warm and breathable. The look has influences from snowboard garb, but is truly utilitarian. "Many of the new styles we're showing can easily cross over from skiing to snowboarding and then to street wear," says Griffin. The free ride style borrows the roomy look of snowboard outerwear but the jackets are cropped shorter for a clean silhouette and greater freedom of movement.

Designer skiwear is showing up on slopes across the state. Fashion designers such as Prada, Versace, Post Card and Bogner have skiwear lines tha t easily go from the slopes to the grocery store to dinner on the town. "The designers are featuring beautiful, rich colors including pumpkin, rust, navy and brown, with a flash of a bright color like red. They're very sophisticated yet technological advances have also made them warm and comfortable," says Deb Sigmann of Don Thomas Sporthaus. Griffin says the hot new color for men is burnt orange, for ladies it's apricot. However, if your tastes lean to earth tones or pastels, you'll find all colors and combinations on the racks of your local ski shop.

For kids, anything tha t has a snowboarding influence is big - especially with girls. This year's styles are lighter and brighter than in years past and slightly more tailored. The big, baggy look tha t snowboarding made popular has become more refined and more comfortable. "Still, anything Burton is big," says Rodger Jabara of Schuss Village Ski Shop at Shanty Creek in Bellaire.

Lightweight, microfiber is very popular this year with cross-country skiers. "They are wonderful for layering," says Lynn Frye of Cross Country Ski Headquarters. Microfiber is very tightly knit polyester that is highly wind and water resistant while still breathable. "Columbia just came out with a light stretch fabric for the back and sleeves of their cross-country jackets. The comfort is great and the stretch fabric allows for a clean, smooth fit," she adds. Colors for this season include sapphire blue, celery, sage, berry and brighter yellows and oranges.

Safety is another issue tha t is being addressed by skiwear and ski equipment manufacturers. Sales of helmets are continuing to increase. No longer are they just for children and racers; many adults are purchasing them today. "The new helmets are lightweight, comfortable, warmer than a hat and come in many color combinations and styles," says Dawn Noblett-Griffin of Boyne Country Sports. Today's helmets come in just about any color. "There are also helmet covers for kids. The manufacturers are going to great lengths to make helmet wearing fun and fashionable," she adds. Regardless of whether you "ride" (snowboard), "slide" (downhill ski) or "glide" (cross-country ski), retailers predict tha t it will be a fun, colorful year on Michigan' slopes and trails.

Those six should provide the nucleus of Canton 's t eam, bu t t h a t doesn ' t mean i t won' t be changing. This is def ini te ly a work in progress.

Fitzgerald is a good example. After taking a year-and-a-half off from gymnastics, she re turned — but only sifter the band's sea-son was over (she's a member). Graham was another who start-ed late due to the band season.

What the Chiefs will need is "patience. J u s t wai t . We'll be good. We jus t won't round into shape until mid-January.

Morrell from page B1

"I really want to work on my fit-ness and my shooting."

Whatever the outcome of that final match, there's little doubt Morrell had a superb year, one that also included her selection to the National Team. Mind you,

that 's not the under-21 national team — this is the top squad.

After a moment of reflection on all that's transpired, Morrell said, "You know, me and my brother Dennis (Dameron) were talking about that and he said

what a great year I had. I said 11 guess so." j

Then she added, with typical 2 Anne Morrell determination, -"But I don't ever want to lose again." °

ARTISTIC IMPRESSIONS

LINDA CHOMIN

Help brighten the holidays for the needy

Over the last 11 years that I've worked as an arts reporter for the Observer & Eccentric

Newspapers, I've met many wonder-ful people who've touched my life. In addition to the artists, musicians and members of community theaters, orchestras and arts councils, chair-persons for annual fundraisers, including a mask auction for COTS homeless shelter in Detroit and a Web site auction of photographs for the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, taught me that we all need to pitch in to help the hungry and homeless survive.

I've discovered in talking to non-profits such as COTS and the Capuchins that donations are down. No one wants to come out and say that's it's due to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, subsequent war in Afghanistan and the recession, but they suspect many individuals and corporations are cutting back and cautiously taking a wait-and-see posi-tion.

That's sad especially for the chil-dren who look forward to receiving a toy for Christmas. Brother Vincent Reyes, pastoral director of the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, is doing everything he can to see the children get their wish. He began the Visions of the Sacred Web site auction of pho-tographs by photojournalists from around the world last year. It helps raise money to feed more than 2,000 people a day but now he needs every-one's help to make a child smile. Of course, all of us will be able to help with everyday needs in January when lh" 'A;eh 11f- wi.-i o-ice again offW pho-tographs to the highest bidder.

"We need toys and gift certificates for supermarkets," said Brother Reyes. "We have families who come in and need formula or diapers.

To donate or for more information about the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, call (313) 579-2100, ext. 203.

COTS Like Reyes, Beth McKeown is wor-

ried about providing enough toys for the Santa Shop at COTS (Coalition on Temporary Shelter). More than 30 children reside in the main shelter on Peterboro and Woodward just a little ways down from the Detroit Institute of Arts.

"We have the Santa Shop so par-ents at COTS can go in and shop for a child," said McKeown. "We allow them to take two toys and an outfit. We need clothing items for children from infants to 14-year-olds. It's the one time of the year we ask for new."

COTS helps 400 people a day by providing not only shelter and food for residents but classes in computers, parenting, budgeting and recovering from debt. Right now, they especially need disposable diapers, tube socks and underwear for adults in their transitional program which permits residents to stay for up to 24-months while looking or training for a job, or going to school for a GED. That's why their annual MaskorAide auction is so important. Last year, artists from all over Oakland and Wayne counties created masks for the auction which will be held Saturday, March 9 at the Detroit Yacht Club. Tickets are $125. For more information about the event or COTS, call (313) 831-3777.

"We help homeless help themselves. Our role is to get them stabilized and on their feet," said McKeown. "We've recently been turning as many as 60 people away every night. There are 5,300 homeless in the city of Detroit, only 2,000 shelter beds so we do what we can to find them some place to go when we don't have room."

And when no one has room, the Ja'Noah house helps. Run by Audrey and Carl Mattson out of their Livonia home, the nonprofit urgently needs warm winter clothing, especially socks and gloves, for the men on the streets of Detroit. If you can help, call (734) 522-5077.

"You hold their hands and they're like ice," said Audrey Mattson. "We started Ja'Noah House 12-years ago during the recession and we just keep on because of the need. We also help families in the Brightmoor and Nor-

Potters travel different roads BY LINDA ANN CHOMIN STAFF WRITER lchomin@oe.homecomm.net

It seemed only natural that when Debbie Liberman, Nancy Chevalier-Guido, Margaret Nowak, and Donna Williams decided to exhibit their clay together, they would create

a joint work celebrating their love of the medi-um.

As you enter the gallery, the focal point of Four Women, Four Directions in Clay draws viewers to it? earthen-color and size. Composed of four sections, the sculpture represents ele-ments necessary to making pottery - earth, wind, fire, and water. Individual artist styles contrast yet commune with one another. Three of the potters specialize in tiles so there are plen-ty of flat surfaces in the work greeting visitors to the Fine Arts Gallery at the Livonia Civic Center Library. Each concentrates on different imagery. Two of the artists, Liberman and Chevalier-Guido, also bring their definitive work to Pewabic Pottery's Antique & Contemporary Art Tile Fair Sunday, March 10, at St. George's Cul-tural Center in Bloomfield Hills. Call (313) 822-0954 for details.

Four Women, Four Directions in Clay illustrates differences in the artists working in tile, sculp-ture and vessel formats.

part of the joint piece is about the movement of water, the mosaic is a waterfall.

"I've never done a sculptural piece. I enjoyed working it out, the design and glaze to get the colors but I like staying with the tile aspect of clay."

Liberman usually incorporates beads and wire into the baskets she crafts at the Village Potters Guild in Plymouth. That's where the concept for the Livonia exhibit was born. All four potters were members at the Guild when Nowak approached them about the exhibit 18 months ago. She'd been part of a similar project while working on her master's degree in art therapy from Wayne State University.

"T wmt to the Guild and asked who's interest-ed, said Nowak, a Canton resident who until recently lived in Livonia. "Even though we didn't do the clay work together it got us communicat-ing. Each kept her own style. For mine I did

quite a bit of research looking at symbolism around fire and goddesses, the divine feminine spirit. Thousands of years ago all religions were matriarchal. We've lost that connection to the divine feminine."

Wind of creativity Carved in bas relief, Nowak's figurative

Guardians of the Fire flicker like so many flames while Chevalier-Guido captures the wind of cre-ativity by portraying a god with abstracted wings and feathers.

"For me the piece was real educational," said Chevalier-Guido whose decorative tile work can be found in kitchens in Birmingham. The Livo-nia potter will offer her architectural-theme tiles at the Pewabic fair March 10 in Bloomfield Hills. "It was inspiring."

Williams couldn't agree more. The Plymouth potter mixed 25 percent paper in with the clay she used to create her statement about Mother Earth. The terraced mountains of China inspired a major portion of the work.

"Doing this piece pushed me further than I would have pushed myself," said Williams. "I experimented with oxides for glazes and surface texture. I asked myself what the earth means to me. I feel we're connected to the earth, the per-manence of it and impermanence. But I like peo-ple to come up with their own ideas. A youngster was here and he imagined being an ant and crawling in ?,nd out of there."

Four Vyoinen, Four Directions in Clay effects each viewer differently as it mirrors four artists who've taken different paths in creating the ves-sels, tiles and sculpture.

Collabora-tion: Nancy Chevalier-Guido (left), Donna Williams, Margaret Nowak and Debbie Liberman created this joint sculp-ture based on the four elements necessary to work in clay.

Golden oldies move singers as well as crowd

Live a capella: elmoTHUMM sings oldies music on their new CD.

BY UNDA ANN CHOMIN STAFF WRITER lchomin@oe.homecomm.net

Adam Westmoreland isn't about to quit his day job at Interior Dynamics in Troy even though elmoTHUMM is tak-ing off. The a capella group already has more than 40 dates booked for 2002. That's quite a feat for a group of guys who got together only a year ago because they love to sing.

Westmoreland and Greg Vaden originally met while per-forming with the vocal ensemble at Milford High School in the early 1980s but each went their separate ways musically until a year ago. That's when they decided to regroup for a performance at Arts, Eats & Beats in Pontiac on Labor Day weekend. The crowd loved their version of golden oldies from Motown and later hits like Still the One. Before long the

quintet found itself recording its concerts and releasing its first CD — elmoTHUMM LiveI

"I love it," said Westmoreland of Oxford. "We're starting to make money but we're putting it back into the group. The CD started out as a demo that we could hand to people hir-ing us so they know what we sound like."

Once they do, elmoTHUMM is invited to perform again and again. After singing at the Bologna Festival in Yale, they were asked to entertain the crowd waiting for the small town's Christmas parade to begin. But crowds aren't the only ones who appreciate their musicianship. In March, the group won third place in the Harmony Sweepstakes, an a capella competition for groups from the midwest region.

Putting your best face forward STYLE &

SENSIBILITIES E

ED NAKFOOR

ach morning, we make some pretty tough calls even be fore our f i r s t

jolt of caffeine and well in advance of p l a y i n g back voice mai l : Tie or no t ie , loafers or lace-ups, shave or not to shave?

Let's face it (pardon the pun, please), while women bemoan the i r daily beauty regimen, us guys have it pret-ty easy, save for the few min-utes we spend scraping our faces with a sharp steel blade.

But come the weekend, I take a pass on this drudgery. I have a pretty heavy beard. In fact, my five o'clock shadow shows up before lunch. And if headed out after work, I must take another pass with the shaver lest I look like a fugitive. So any opportunity to leave the electric razor in its case is most welcome.

I've always favored electric. I'm not glued to the mirror, can take a call without mak-ing a mess of the phone, fix a cup of coffee or check e-mail.

Even though I may not get the closest of shaves, I appreciate the freedom and conve-nience of those hand-held, purring blades.

So when this died-in-wool electric "shaver" found himself looking in the mirror, dispos-able Bic at the ready thanks to a malfunc-tioning Braun, you can bet the subsequent b a t t l e s c a r s - and t h e r e we re m a n y -matched the in tens i ty of t he f igh t for a clean, close shave.

However, just about the time I replaced my shaver's broken foil, I got the hang of swiping with a blade and understanding the subtleties of my face.

Plus, I became fascinated with the vast array of pre- and post-shaving products at bo th cha in s to res and s p e c i a l t y shops . Indeed, there ' s def ini te ly someth ing for everyone. Correction: for every face.

Lori Karba l , owner of h e r eponymous Birmingham beauty and pampering shop, doesn't forget men's grooming needs. And while gal pals stop by to chat and see what's riew, the menfolk find plenty for themselves. Prom pre-shave washes and beard lubri-cants to a f t e r - shave hea l i ng ba lms , t he sielection includes familiar faces and those w i th more of a cu l t - l ike fo l lowing l ike Kiehl's, and The Art of Shaving.

Also in the mix are the liber-masculine Jack Black for Men and Anthony Logistics for Men. The latter was developed by Oak-land Coun ty ' s A n t h o n y Sosn ick , who >ionates a portion of proceeds f rom t h e salp

of each product to prostate cancer treatment and research programs.

La te r , whi le at Targe t looking for a replacement foil for my shaver, I took a quick inventory of the store's shaving selections for men, from the ubiquitous Gillette lineup to new entries from Nivea. There's even the for-merly hard-to-find Brit ish brand King of Shaves.

Naturally though, being partial to electric, I checked in with Mike Bauby, owner of the Shaver Shop in Pontiac. After all, who bet-ter to know how to handle a moving blade than Bauby, whose family has been repair-ing and selling electric shavers for 30 years?

"People are married to one or the other," he says of the electric versus blade conun-drum, adding that he favors Norelco.

His tips for a great electric shave are pretty basic, such as shaving with the grain of the hair, cleaning the blade regularly and replac-ing it, along with the foil, at least once a year.

Plus, he says to make sure the face is dry, which on muggy days can be difficult. In that case, Bauby gives a nod to Remington's scent-free powder stick to quickly dry up excess moisture.

Good advice, but how can I prevent the occas ional n icks t h a t I ge t a r o u n d my Adam's apple? Unfortunately, Bauby goes silent except to say he can't remember the last time he cut himself.

Fine for him, but I'm still left holding the bandage. So I sought the help of Dr. Lori Haddad of Birmingham Dermatology. She ul t imately delivered a l i tany of pros and cons that pretty much make the great shave debate a moot point.

For example, electric shavers, because of the added friction they create, cause more razor bumps, irritation and redness, and thus, more ingrown hairs.

But, if you use a blade and don't dry it completely before storing it, or leave it in the shower, it becomes a breeding ground for funguses , even the v i rus tha t causes warts, which ultimately would be removed by freezing with liquid nitrogen - ouch!

That being said, Haddad advises softening the hairs as a way to prevent some of these side effects, telling her male clients to use gels, such as Aveno Shaving Gel, r a the r t h a n creams, as the latter can take longer to prep hairs. She also encourages using only after-shave moisturizers free of both alcohol and oil.

As for after-shave colognes, thumbs down, as many are alcohol-based and simply cause more irritation.

Chasing toys XBox tough to get in local stores

BY NICOLE STAFFORD S T A F F W R I T E R nstafford@oe.homecomm.net

Without f a i l , ' t he re ' s a mus t -have, hard-to-get children's gift that makes parents scramble dur-ing the holiday shopping season.

This year , the l a t e s t in video game systems; Microsoft's XBox and Nintendo's GameCube, are causing all the fuss . Both were launched - that is, made available to the public «r in mid-November and feature realistic graphics that a re a t t imes diff icult to dist in-guish f rom the r ea l t h i n g on a, television set.

A h a n d f u l of weeks since t h e launch of XBox, as well as before Christmas, Sain Goody at North-l a n d C e n t e r in Sou th f i e ld h a s received a second shipment of four systems from Microsoft.

The game system is particularly popular and seems to be selling out more rapidly than GameCube in s tores t h roughou t s u b u r b a n Detroit. Sam Goody in Southfield sold out of the uni t s a few days a f t e r t he l aunch and h a s been f i e ld ing p h o n e and i n - p e r s o n requests - approximately 40 per day - from anxious parents ever since.

"They've been coming in the last couple weeks and we were out," said the store's manager, Darrell Peterson.

At the momient, t he four units sit on a shelf in wait of parents who want to nab the gift for a son or daughter.

"If this was the weekend, they definitely would be gone. It's just tha t we haven' t had the normal adult flow of traffic yet. They're s t i l l a t work , " sa id . P e t e r s o n . "Once t h e wotd ge ts out , those will be gone." ;

With only four units to sell, sell-ing out is easy to do, thus the dif-ficulty many parents have trying to get t h e i r h a n d s on t h e toy. Peterson does have a healthy sup-ply of GameCube systems and a

But substitutes don't fly in the realm of video game systems for Christmas, said Peterson.

Many children with an XBox on their Christmas list already have a n o t h e r game sys t em and a r e looking to upgrade. Others a re looking for a par t icular system because of the games they run . The XBox r u n s more s p o r t s games , while the GameCube is heavy on Mario Bros, games.

Not to mention, the children, not t he parents, are calling the shots.

"The k ids have p r e t t y much clued their parents into all that . Their job is to go out and buy it," said Peterson.

And parents don't tend to ques-tion their children's requests and choices.

"There's no ,'Can you explain to me why I should buy i t? ' or 'Wha t ' s so good about it? ' I t ' s , more or less, 'If you've got it, I want i t , '" said Peterson.

"The n i g h t b e f o r e t h e XBox came out, I closed (the store). And when I came out, I went out and saw two of our guests waiting in line. They asked: 'So, do you think we're crazy?' So I asked, 'Why are you doing th i s? 'And t h e y sa id , 'Because I have a 9-year-old, ' " recalled Krakowiak.

"But there's also the simple fact t h a t (the XBox and GameCube) are new systems," said Peterson at Sam Goody. "It was the same w a y w i t h P l a y S t a t i o n I I l a s t year."

And though both new systems' improved graphics and resolution were h ighly tou ted , youths and parents alike seem impressed by the technology.

"It 's l ived u p to t he expec ta-tions," said Peterson. "It has lived up to the hype."

"People are always looking for something a little bit differ-ent and we're family oriented," said Paul Ellinger, a Canton resident who works as an independent insurance agent in Farmington Hills. Ellinger was last to join the group com-posed of Westmoreland, Vaden, Ed Pendelton, Jason Miller and himself.

"It's one of the most difficult styles of music because you're singing unaccompanied. It puts a lot more pressure on per-forming. You can't rely on an instrument for pitch.

"It's not, 'okay follow the drummer.' It takes more communi-cation, working together as a group. There 's more cama-raderie. It takes commitment. One person cannot do it on their own."

Vaden loves that aspect of a capella singing. He knew when he heard a tape of The Nylons in 1982 that

he wanted to start an a capella group. After high school Vaden went on to form The Four Neet

Guys with Westmoreland and sing in an ensemble at Western Michigan University.

After graduation he moved to Chicago where he joined The Sound, a vocal group who opened for top national acts like The Beach Boys.

"We do it because we love the music and we love being invit-

ed to people's home towns to perform," said Vaden, a substi-tute teacher in the Huron Valley Schools in Oakland County. "I love small towns. We get to see Michigan now — every-where from Sault Ste. Marie to Lewiston — by performing at fairs and festivals, family-oriented events which we bring our wives and children to.

"We're strolling and performing without a sound system, waiting for the parade to start or tractor races or demolition derby. We also do stage shows and are frequently asked to sing the national anthem.

"When we started we thought our target market was going to be age 25 to 45 and were so wrong. We realized how cross generational this music is. It's everyone from children to peo-ple 70 to 75. Everyone age 5 to 95 knows the lyrics to the songs. It's contemporary style, not barbershop but pop music, old Motown hits like Under the Boardwalk and Ain't That Peculiar to The Lion Sleeps Tonight, also originals," like Vaden and Westmoreland 's Bye-Bye, and Vaden's Broken Hearted and I Want U.

wayne areas that are poor, the Brewster projects, and Cass Corridor hotels, where the stench and cockroaches are so bad. We take our motorhome and go up and down the street wherever the need."

On Thanksgiving, Ja'Noah House pro-vided 60 meals and 150 sandwiches thanks to a helping hand from generous individuals, members of St. John's Lutheran Church in Redford, and Janet and Ruth at Entemann's in Livonia, which donates baked goods two to three times a week all year long. Because of them, the Mattsons will make sure that more than 250 children and adults have a Christmas this year. And for those men on the streets, they'll make up fruit bags.

"It's the clothing, food and furniture donated from caring people in the com-munity that made it possible for us to give out 37 turkeys last year. These are miracles. They really are."

Judy Ellis is looking for a lot of mira-cles this holiday season at First Step, a Plymouth-based nonprofit helping vic-tims of domestic violence. Under her direction, First Step assisted more than 7,200 people this year

"We've sustained budget cuts at the state level and it's a bigger challenge this year raising funds," said Ellis. "We've also seen steady increases in phone calls from women looking for help since Sept. 11. There is increased vio-lence in the homes. Holidays are diffi-cult for families and children. There are mixed emotions for many families. There's the hope and love for the holi-days but there is increased alcohol or drug consumption which is an influence on the escalation of violence.

"We saw some women get out of an abusive situation and then the economy changed and now they're out of work. We find ways to keep their families

together." In addition to pillows, towels, pots and

pans, and wash cloths, First Step needs baby items such as bottles and diapers, slippers for children, and new socks and underwear.

"We have families in the shelter for the holidays. We want them to have a good holiday," said Ellis. "We could also use money. We have programs for chil-dren to teach them how not to get in the middle of violence and call and get help."

It doesn't matter which group you choose to help. There are organizations all over the area who need us to get involved. Hopefully, even more people will touch my life next year so I can pass their stories on to you.

BY VICTORIA DIAZ S P E C I A L W R I T E R

Point Deception by Marcia Muller ' (Mysterious Press I Warner Books,

$23.95). "Things look different when you're

scared." Thus begins this new mystery novel

by former Ann Arborite Marcia Muller, creator of the popular series characters Sharon McCone, J o a n n a S t a r k and Elena Oliverez.

Don't expect to meet up with any of these in "Point Deception," however. On its pages, we are introduced, instead, to Nor the rn Ca l i fo rn ia sher i f f depu ty Rhoda Swift, who lives and works in a s t r a n g e spot h a u n t e d by i t s p a s t . Rhoda, a native of the place, is haunted as well — although she's trying hard to make a "normal" life for herself when the story opens.

In Soledad County, exactly 13 years earlier, six people (including two chil-dren) were massacred, and the crime remains unsolved — thanks, in part, to snafus committed by Rhoda herself . Now it appears tha t perhaps a serial ki l ler h a s begun to s t r i k e aga in . A beautiful s t randed motorist is found strangled, and shortly thereafter , two longtime citizens of the area are found dead in r e m o t e p a r t s of C a s c a d a Canyon, the same place where the orig-inal murders took place. As Rhoda tries to unravel varied threads of the mys-tery, it looks more and more as if the killer is no stranger passing through. The residents of the fictional county entertain "fears and suspicions tha t a monster ... (lives) among them." And so do we.

Enter a New York journalist named Guy Newberry, who comes to Soledad County in order to write of the earlier massacres. Wouldn't you jus t know it, Guy is haunted in his own way? Also,

wouldn' t you j u s t know it, he 's soon involved in solving the murders? Final-

. ly, wouldn't you just know it, he b e g i n s ^ to develop more than just friendly feel-ings for Rhoda?

Suspects seem to emerge from behind every rock or tangled stand of pampas g r a s s along th i s sect ion of t h e fog-shrouded coast. As readers, we begin to look a skance a t a lmos t everybody, inc luding the v io lent - tempered cop,-^ Wayne Gilardi, abalone poacher Ales£|# Ngo, the eccentric Basque named Gre- , gory Cordova, and even Rhoda's reclu--1

sive father, Jack Antolini. Muller does her usual bang-up job of

keeping us enthralled with her story of a community that has been scarred and' c h a n g e d by t e r r i b l e v io lence a n d tragedy. She imparts a strange feeling 1

of ghos t l i ne s s to t h e p lace a n d i t s inhabitants, illustrating how evil might affect the behavior of everyone it touch-es—even the innocent. This not only adds punch to the impact of the story overall , but is u l t imate ly t he book's main, thought-provoking strength.

Though not highly dimensional yet (maybe this will develop in future nov-els), Rhoda is empathetic and likable enough, with her mixed feelings toward he r hard-drinking fa ther and he r co-w o r k e r s , he r devo t ion t o w a r d h e r " canine pal, and her bravery in the face of hideous terror. * i

If the same can be said for the haunt- . ed and lonely, but ever-capable and tal-ented, Guy Newberry, therein lies one of the problems with the novel. It's as if Muller neyer quite makes up her mind who has t he lead role he re . Conse-quently, the effectiveness of each char-acter seems really less than it might have been.

This is certainly not enough to write things off, however. "Point Deception" will leave many readers hoping they'll see more of this pair in the future.

State's ski slopes ready for season The earliest snowfalls in mem-

ory hit northern Michigan this fall, and skiers hope that's a sign of good things to come as they head to the slopes to try out new equipment, runs and improve-ments reported by more than two-thirds of the state's 41 pub-lic ski areas, said AAA Michigan.

The National Weather Service predicts this winter will be simi-lar to last year, with normal or above-normal snowfall. That's good news for downhill and cross-country enthusiasts, who enjoyed one of the best snow sea-sons in years in 2000-2001 sea-son. Many ski resor ts also reported great seasons at the cash register, and this season 28 are responding with many improvements.

In addition, one west Michigan ski area has reopened, while two have closed. More fun for the fast-growing snowboarding seg-ment has been added to 16 resorts, while major improve-ments from runs and snowmak-ing to new base facilities have been announced by the res t . Nearly all also offer senior citi-zen discounts - some for people as young as 50 - to lure skiers back to the slopes.

• In west Michigan, Sugar Loaf, near Cedar, is reopening under new management. Chil-dren younger than 6 sleep and ski free, and people 65 and older ski free. Unlimited-use ski pass-es also are available along with snow tubing and cross-country ski trails. Nearby Mount Holi-day, near Traverse City, has closed. Near Farwell , Silver

S K I I N G I N

Mi*uti Ridge's ski slopes are closed, but its restaurant remains open.

• At Boyne Mountain, comple-tion of the new multi-million-dol-lar Mountain Grand Lodge has been pushed back to 2005, but it expects to have several new slopeside log cabin condos avail-able to rent this season. The ter-rain park has been doubled in size and the tubing park relocat-ed to a gentler slope, served by a rope tow. Boyne has increased snowmaking capability.

• Sister resort Boyne High-lands, near Harbor Springs, is offering new trailside condos for rent plus guided cross-country and snowshoe tours customized to experience levels, with lunch included. Nordic trails are now groomed for classic and skate skiing.

• Crys ta l Mounta in , near Thompsonville, announced a 10-year plan to build a three-story main lodge, add a dozen ski slopes and addit ional lodging along with a Nordic center and golf course.

Crystal has also expanded its snowmaking, lighted two more slopes for night skiing (now 27 of 34 slopes) and improved lighting

on two more. • Nub's Nob, nea r Harbor

Springs, added a double-black-diamond, gladed rlun that's the resort's steepest, along with one beginner trail. Additional snow-making, another groomer and high-performance demo skis were added to rentals along with women-specific boots and step-in snowboards.

• Shanty Creek, jiear Bellaire, doubled the amount of snow-board rental equipment, added performance s k b r e n t a l s and announced a learnlto-Sinowboard program for children 6-12 years old. Caberfae, near Cadillac, moved 14,000 cubic .yards of earth to add 10 vertieal feet to North Peak, widened other runs 33 to 50 percent, increased snow-making capability 'and added to its ski rentals. ;

• The Homestead, near Glen Arbor, replaced one-third of its ski rentals. Parents can watch kids learn through picture win-dows at the Snowdrop Observa-tory at the beginn^ohly area. Hickory Hills, near Traverse City, increased snowmaking cov-erage 20 percent.

In northeast Michigan, Sky-line, near Grayling, built a ski and snowboard t e r ra in park, added three cross-country ski t r a i l s on its golf course and added snowmobile parking. Treetops Resort, near Gaylord, doubled its snowmaking capabil-ity, bui l t a new tub ing- run warming hut, added more rental snowblades, snowboards and skis and bought a terrain park groomer. Snowsnake, near Har-

rison, added to i ts snowboard ren ta l s , including some with step-in bindings.

• Hanson Hills, .near Grayling, is adding a tubing hill served by a rope tow, and Apple Mounta in , nea r Free land , increased shaped ski rentals by 25 percent.

Southwest Michigan's Bit-tersweet, near Otsego, doubled the length of its terra in park served by its own triple chair lift. It increased snowmaking capa-bility and new rentals include snowboards with step-in bind-ings. Cannonsburg, near Can-nonsburg, added ski rentals, and Swiss Valley, nea r Jones , expanded i t s t e r r a in park , improved snowmaking and rental equipment and bought a groomer. Timber Ridge, nea r Gobies, improved its snowmak-ing capability, added a tubing hill and expanded its t e r ra in park.

In s o u t h e a s t M i c h i g a n , Alpine Valley, nea r Milford, increased its snowmaking capac-ity. Mount Brighton, nea r Brighton, bought 300 step-in rental snowboards along with shaped skis and boots. I t enlarged the half-pipe and upped snowmaking capability 15 per-cent. Mount Holly, near Holly, increased its snowmaking capa-bility and snowboard rental fleet 20 percent and reduced its snow-board rental rates by $10. Pine Knob, near Clarkston, added 10 percent more snowmaking capa-bility, doubled dining area seat-ing and bought a snowboard park groomer.

FOCUS ON WINE

Add spirit to your holidays Afine bottle of spirits adds distinct

'spirit' to the holidays. Several new products top our list as the best

; this year. Glenmorangie has been the creative

leader in finishing the aging of its sin-gle malts in a variety of different casks from Oloroso and Fino Sherries to Portuguese Ruby Port Pipes, First

• Growth Claret wood, and Malmsey '! Madeira drums. Recently introduced

is Glenmorangie Cote de Nuits Fin-ish, $300, a single malt aged in Grand Cru Burgundy barrels.

For 25 years, this single malt was matured in American Mountain Oak casks, including a finishing period in air-seasoned French Troncais oak barrels, which were previously filled, once only, with the rarest Cote de Nuits Grand Cru Burgundy. The Bur-gundy barrels add, in addition to a distinctly woody note, a unique sweet-ness of dried apricots and peaches. An appealing beeswax aroma uplifts wine-like flavors with hints of choco-late.

An amazing pour for the connois-seur of single malts who is also a lover of great Burgundy wine. Peerless single malt

The Macallan 25 Year-Old Anniver-sary Malt, $225, is peerless, refined, and elegant. The Macallan signature sherry character (from 100 percent sherry cask aging) is enhanced by dried citrus peel and slightly peaty, smoky wood notes. The Macallan has a cult following. Yet, the very picky tasters at the Beverage Testing Insti-tute gave The Macallan 25 Year-Old a score of 100 out of a possible 100 points, the highest score the BTI ever

a r c i i V . w k ; ~ k y

Armagnac From the Gascony region in south-

west France, armagnac is the oldest French spirit. While cognac, often compared to armagnac, is better known, Americans are slowly discov-ering continuously distilled armagnac. In fact, the U.S. is the fourth largest of 130 armagnac mar-kets worldwide.

The round and well-balanced Samalens Reserve Imperiale XO, $85, will delight both a brandy connois-seur and provide a smooth and ele-gant introduction to a fine Bas-Armagnac for a novice.

We dislike descriptors that read like wild dreams, but truly, this Samalens XO smells like carameliz-ing sugar atop a Creme Brulee as it's being torched. This aromatic sensa-tion enhances the smooth, creamy character of the spirit, which is deli-cious with any chocolate dessert. Serve it in a brandy glass, warmed only with the heat of your hands, never with a candle warmer appara-tus or in a microwave. These latter methods destroy pleasurable aromas.

Cognac New from Remy Martin is XO

Excellence Fine Champagne Cognac, $120. For the holidays, it comes in special packaging with two "proper" glasses in which it can be served neat. The new product differs from the tra-ditional Remy XO in that it contains a higher, at 85 percent, Grand Cham-pagne grape component as well as an older cognac of 37 years.

Very floral aromas lead to candied orange peel and a melange of sweet brown spices, such as cinnamon. Although Americans tend to drink

- cognac after a meal, it can be enjoyed on the rocks before dinner and to

, accompany Asian-influenced foods. It • is especially good with steamed

dumplings and a plum sauce.

On the fruitier side Creme Boulard $19 is a new apple-

cream liqueur. It's a blend of Calva-dos, the renowned apple brandy from Normandy, France and a rich, smooth cream. Some Irish creams come across sharp from the Irish whiskey that forms their base. Creme Boulard is smooth with an elegant finish and the refined, pleasant taste of ripe apples.

Orange is in, not only in flavored vodkas, but now in rum. "Bacardi O" $13 obtains its orange and tangerine

Sweet treats Local chef gives tasty dessert

ideas to enjoy this season BY KEN ABRAMCZYK STAFF WRITER kabramczyk@oe.homecomm.net

Christmas holiday desserts. They're sweet, enjoyable and a great encore to a wonderfully warm meal.

For Joe Decker it's a chance for his children to ask "What's this, Dad?"

"It really generates interaction and an interest in what I do," Decker said. (Well, yes, but not every father instructs a pastry or chocolate class to college students, either.)

As a master chef instructor at Schoolcraft College in Livonia, Decker enjoys creating fancy treats to end the meal, but he also likes traditional desserts with an added wrinkle or two.

"You can have real traditional ethnic holiday cookies, like lebkuchen or pfeffernuss. You can have a Yule Log, desserts with marzipan and chocolates." Then Decker is asked about chocolate and what chocolate makes a good mousse and suddenly discusses briefly the science and technology of chocolate. But that's another story...

"I like to make a comfort-type dessert, such as a Dutch apple pie or a Yule Log, and do something a little different with it."

For instance, he'll add heavy cream to the apple filling, then top with a brown sugar streusel. Then there's his key lime pie with a toasted coconut crust, rather than the traditional graham cracker version. "When you have one in Florida, they don't put whipped heavy cream on it," Decker said.

Other popular choices for Decker are cherry pie at Thanksgiv-ing, yes, you read that correctly, and pumpkin cheesecake, a favorite among the chef entourage at Schoolcraft.

To vary his traditional recipes, he'll use a traditional item, such as eggnog and create an eggnog cream or Bavarian and layer it with a light sponge or chiffon cake.

See recipes inside on page D2.

New Year's Eve hors d'oeuvres add zest to celebration Celebrating the New Year is not

something new. In the early days, the ancient Romans would trade gifts of t ree branches they believed to be sacred. Years later the trend was to trade gold covered coins and nuts with pictures of Janus.

January came from the name Janus, the god with two faces that could see forward and backward at the same time. Before the New Year day was the first day of January it was 6HSF the first day of March and before tha t the f i rs t day of the new harvest.

Religious beliefs or cultural background are the dominating factors for which day you celebrate New '8gj> «• Year's day. The Jew- RANDY ish New Year called EMERT Rosh HashWhah is observed in September or early October. The Muslim calendar has 354 days as opposed to the 365 days of the American calendar, or the Gregorian calendar. This is the calen-dar most of the world uses. In Japan, the New Year celebration is a four-day one. The final day people dress as drag-ons to scare and entertain the children. In the United States New Year's Eve is celebrated by making noise, gathering, eating and drinking with friends and family. New Year's Day is usually spent in church, with family, watching

football or going to parades. What ever your favorite past time

this holiday, I have put together a few easy and delicious hors d'oeuvres for you to whip up and share with your guests. (Robert J. Myers, New Year's Day, World Book Online America Edi-tion)

Wild Mushroom Turnovers ( a hot hors d'oeuvres)

Place mushrooms, shallots and sher-ry in a stainless pan, uncovered over medium heat until most of the liquid has reduced from the mushroom. Sift in the floor and mix well. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Pull from heat and add cream cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Let cool completely. Once cool, spread out phyllo. Sprinkle a thin layer of breadcrumbs on top. Place the next piece of dough on top and repeat until the dough is used. Cut into twelve equal strips. Place 1 tablespoon mush-room mixture on each piece. Fold like a flag, seam on the bottom. Brush with butter. Bake at 400 degrees until gold-en brown. Serve immediately.

The Observer & Eccentric! SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2001 * D 3

Curl up on the couch with these cups of coffee America's love-affair with cof-

fee continues to brew and nearly svery gourmet shop offers some type of holiday java concoction.

At Marshall Field's, our coffee and sugar dependency can be quenched in a candy. Frango chocolates newest flavor is coffee and is expected to be as popular as Frango's Creme Brulee choco-lates.

"Coffee has become an impor-tant par t of our daily r i tual ," Lynn Hempe, Marshal l Field's merchand i se m a n a g e r sa id . 'Chocolate is an old favorite ... aow b e t t e r to m a r r y two favorites — chocolates and cof-fee?"

Leave it to Frango's to create a i;hick sweet ho l iday creme accented with coffee, see recipe aelow. And let's ignore the calo-ries, okay?

We also scoured the Internet for interesting coffee recipes spe-cial enough to serve to your fam-ily this season. The following are served Caffe Americano style — meaning the size of an American ;up of coffee ra ther than those ;iny and elegant European sin-gle espresso sizes.

Try these marvelous recipes — and you don't have to be a Darista (the coffee bar employee who makes your latte) to make ;hem.

The f i r s t rec ipe is a coffee iessert from Frango, the others lorae from the del ightful site: Wired J a v a F a n a t i c a t www.nwlink.com

COFFEE FRANGO POTS A

CREME

1 c whole milk (or soymilk) 6 ounces coffee Frangos,

chopped 6 egg yolks

2 / 3 c granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Boil milk in a medium saucepan )ver medium-high heat. Stir in Frangos chocolates. Remove from leat and whisk in the cream. Blend well and cool slightly.

Coffee culture

• Daily consumption of gourmet coffee has tripled since 1998

• Gourmet coffee eon-sumption was up 59 per-cent last year

• The average Ameri-can consumes three cups of coffee each day

• Coffee ranka as the number one beverage, above tea, beer, juice and even sodas.

• 50 percent of coffee is consumed at break-fast, 18 percent during the morning, 17 percent in mid afternoon and only 8 percent in the evening

Combine egg yolks and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Whisk thor-oughly. Slowly pour chocolate mix into the egg yolk mixture, stir con-stantly. Strain and let rest few minutes at room temperature.

Divide the custard among six 6-ounce ramekins. Set the ramekins in a baking dish and add boiling water to the dish to reach half-way up the sides. Cover loosely with foil. Bake on center rack of the oven until creams are just set at the edges but still trembling in the center — 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven. Refrigerate loosely covered for at least 2 hours. Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream.

Ornamental trees and plants need some winter care v

Like it or not, the shortening days signal that fall is here and winter is coming. Soon gardeners will pu t the i r tools away and retreat indoors to await the com-ing of next year's seed catalogs.

Landscape ornamentals, how-ever, have to stay out there and take whatever winter throws at them, be it low tempera tures , snow, ice, drying wind, gnawing rodents or deicing salt.

"You can't do much about the weather, but you can reduce the chances of w i n t e r i n j u r y to plants ," says Mary McLellan, Extension Master Gardener pro-gram coordinator a t Michigan State University. "The first step is choosing plants that are hardy in your a rea - t h a t is, p l an t s tha t have shown they can sur-

vive the average low tempera-ture there. A second is to main-tain plants properly. Make sure evergreens go into winter well watered, for instance, and that ornamentals aren't stressed dur-ing t h e g rowing season by d r o u g h t , o v e r w a t e r i n g , poor nutrition, mechanical injury and insect attack." Some other sug-gestions:

• Plants that are healthy and dormant when winter weather arrives have a better chance of coming through winter in good shape, she adds. This means no late-season fertilization or avoid-able late summer pruning that might promote a f lush of late growth tha t wouldn't have time to harden off before winter.

• Somet imes cold tempera-

tures kill only certain parts of a plant, she observes. Flower buds are often the most susceptible. Forsythia shrubs, for instance, will to le ra te t e m p e r a t u r e s of minus-25 degrees F but will lose t h e f lower buds- on exposed s t ems . Buds p ro t ec t ed by an insulating layer of snow will sur-vive.

• Smooth-barked trees such as young maples may suffer bark sp l i t t i ng . This i n j u r y , cal led southwest disease, even though it isn ' t a disease, occurs when the winter sun heats the tree on the southwest side. After the sun sets, the outer bark cools faster than the tissues beneath it. As it cools, it contracts, and when it can't contract any more, it splits. This injury usually occurs on the sou th or wes t s ides of t r ee s , McLellan notes, because that ' s where the sun strikes them. To protect young maples and frui t t r e e s and o the r t h i n - b a r k e d

trees, wrap them with tree wrap or shade them on the south and west sides.

• Desiccation, or drying out, is a common problem of evergreen p lan ts , pa r t i cu l a r ly broadleaf evergreens. It occurs when win-te r sun and dry wind ex t r ac t mois tu re f rom the needles or leaves when the soil is f rozen and roots can no t r ep l ace i t , McLellan exp la ins . Shie ld ing exposed p lants wi th bur lap or canvas fas tened to s takes will protect them. Regular watering u n t i l t he soil f r e e z e s a n d mulching to prevent deep freez-ing of the soil a re also recom-mended.

• Gnawing mice and rabbits can girdle and kil l l andscape plants. McLellan advises placing cylinders of mesh hardware cloth around plants.

The barrier must reach from a few inches in to the. soil to a t least 18 inches above the usual

snow line to keep rodents away f rom t r ee t r u n k s and s t e m s . Repellents may give some pro-tection, she notes, but they may need to be reapplied in midwin-ter, and they may not be effec-t ive if o the r food sources a r e scarce.

• Landscape plants near busy s t r e e t s may need p r o t e c t i o n against deicing salt. Both sa l t sp r ay and s a l t y runo f f m a y injure plants, she points out.

Some plants - such as whi te pine, oaks and sugar maple - are more sensitive than others and shou ldn ' t be p l a n t e d w h e r e they'll be exposed to deicing salt. For p l a n t s a l r e a d y in p lace , splash guards of burlap or can-vas will keep spray off foliage. Shoveling salt-laden snow away from plants and watering heavi-ly in the spring to move accumu-lated salt out of the root zone will help prevent root damage.

Quick-growing, soft-wooded trees > such as Siberian elm, willow and > silver maple are especially prons to b reakage . Bending under a load of snow or ice can damage : the water-conducting vessels in t r e e s a n d s h r u b s , she n o t e s .

"Prun ing t rees when they ' re young to e l i m i n a t e w e a k , V-s h a p e d ang l e s of a t t a c h m e n t between branches or limbs and t runks will help prevent break-1 age," McLe l l an says . "Right -angle or U-shaped at tachments , are much stronger and less like- L

ly to break." Shrubs and hedges that could

be crushed by a load of snow can be w r a p p e d wi th c a n v a s or burlap and tied so they have less su r f ace a r e a to hold snow or supported by chicken wire and stakes so snow and ice can't flat-ten them.

• When ice storms strike, try-ing to r e m o v e t h e ice can do more d a m a g e t h a n l eav ing p l an t s alone, M c L e l l a n n o t e s .

the shoe fits.. Put some

heart and

'sole' into

the

purchase

¥ f

By lauhie Humphrey S p e c i a l \ Y b i t e r

If donning a good pair of shoes is not a routine part of your holiday hustle, maybe it should be, warn local podiatrists. The following are some

helpful tips to achieve shoe nirvana. Dr. Lawrence Tyner of St. Joseph Mercy Hospital

admits t h a t too many people buy shoes based on how they look rather than how they feel. This prac-tice can result in sore or even damaged feet for peo-ple who: spend a lot of time on their feet. (Holiday shoppers take note.)

"Nobody looks at shoes from the bottom. They look from the top," said the Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor-based podiatrist.

While most people at least try to match up the length and width of the shoe to their foot, few people take into account the "last" of the shoe, Tyner said. The "last" of a shoe is the form on which the shoe is made. It may be straight or curved, and it dictates the overall shape of the shoe.

To determine the shape of the last, according to information from PodiatryNetwork.com, tu rn the shoe overand look a t the sole.. Imagine a line that goes through the center of the heel and then out the center of the toe area. In; curved-lasted shoes - and this is especially true in athletic shoes - this imagi-nary line is in the shape of a curve, usually curving inward. In straight-lasted shoes, the line will be straight from heel to toe.

Is your foot form straight, slightly curved, or very curved? If you don't know, Tyner recommends that you use a mirror to look at the bottom of your feet. These results, combined with the profile of your feet, should dictate which type of shoes you buy. Straight-footed people should choose straight-lasted shoes.

Keep in mind that curve-lasted shoes can cause problems, such as excessive amounts of pressure oh the outside of the foot. This can lead to bone spurs in the fifth toe, soft corns between fourth and fifth toe and tailors bunions.

Doctor's recommendation People with flat feet should look for a shoe with

good support. For athletic shoe shoppers, Tyner rec-ommends iBrooks or New Balance. For those with a high arch,: he suggests athletic shoe shoppers look at Nike Air.

"This is a cushioned .shoe, very shock absorbing," he said. :

Dr. Murray Kahn, a Henry Ford Hospital podia-trist based in Livonia, goes one step fur ther when advising his pat ients . He suggests br inging the appropriate type of sock when shoe shopping, walk-ing around in the shoes for 10 minutes, shopping in

the afternoon because feet are thinner in the morn-ing, and keeping in mind you'll likely get what you pay for.

"The $20 (athletic) shoes tend to be vinyl, hard and t rap moisture and heat, which will make the wearer susceptible to athletes foot," Kahn said. "You want to get leather or mesh material."

PodiatryNetwork.com offers the following sugges-tions when selecting an athletic shoe:

• If your foot is fairly straight, choose a straight-lasted athletic shoe.

H Choose a shoe with a rigid heel for stability. • Look for a shoe that is fairly flexible in the fore-

foot. If the shoe does not easily flex in the forefront then as the heel comes off the ground during walk-

ir.able to flex proper ch irx£ and running the big toe l y -

6 Place the shoe on a flat surface. The heel should be relatively perpendicular to the surface. If the back of the shoe is angled in either direction it could indicate a defect in manufacturer of the shoe.

Go for comfort Many of Kahn's female patients are in their mid-

to-late 40s. "They have gone through the high-heel, stylish period of the life. Now they want something that is comfortable and looks good," he said.

When it comes to dress shoes, Tyner suggests men look at Johnson & Murphy while women look at Naturalizer.

Rules to shoe shop by M Don't buy fiats* • Shop in the afternoon when feet

tend to expand. • Bring appropriate socks. • For flat feet, buy athletic shoes

with good heel support. • For high arches, buy athletic!

shoes with shock absorbers. • People with diabetes should buy

shoes with extra depth, such as

• People with bunions and-calluses should buy shoes with a wide and high toe box, such as Free Time.

"For the money, they (Naturalizer) have the best," he said.

Consumer-turned-employee Geraldine Branford, a sa leswoman a t N a t u r a l i z e r in W e s t l a n d Mall , agrees. Her opinion is not based solely on her job but also on the circumstances tha t led to her getting the job.

"I was out looking for comfortable shoes because I had just had foot surgery," said Branford, a three-year employee. She got along so well with the Natu-ralizer salesman helping her, who happened to be the manager, that he asked her to sell the product she felt confident buying.

Naturalizer shoes reflect the philosophy of podia-trists in their design. Heels are 1" to 1 1/2" high,

a n d a bio vers:; t i l e r n i u r e , i n a n y

-tto ind unstable. Fur des igns come wi th removab le

orthotics or extra width for women with corns or bunions, a common problem for women who wear heels.

"Some people walk in, try the shoes on and jus t want to walk out in them," said Branford, who has been trained to measure feet and help customers find shoes based upon their medical needs and fash-ion preferences.

It 's up to consumers to keep the i r feet- in good shape, not shoe makers, said Kahn.

"They have to make shoes for millions of people, and no two feet are the same. Even the left foot is different than the right foot."

Wear patterns Aside from comfort levels, wear pat terns provide

another way to determine whether the shoes people are wearing are right for them. The underside of the shoe should reflect a proper foot roll.

"If you hit on the outside of the heel and wear off the big toe, that 's good. If you hit on the inside of the heel or forefoot, that can cause calluses or pinched nerves."

For Tyner, it's jus t common sense. "You go with what feels comfortable and r ight , not wi th wha t looks good." i

Before buying anything, he suggests shoe shop-pers check a shoe's stability in three places: 1) torsi-nal (use the two ends to twist the shoe back and forth,) 2) the middle, and 3) the heel counter (use thumb and forefinger to check heel.) Since shoes that are completely flat often fail to offer the needed stabil i ty in al l t h ree a reas , both doctors advise women stay away from those fashion shoes known as "flats."

Although "flats" tend to be cheaper, Tyner said "if you try to get away with cheap shoes, it'll cost you more in the long run."

Higher blood pressure in youth means thicker arteries Teenagers with the highest blood pressure and

extra pounds had thicker arteries by age 30, accord-ing to the: American Heart Association.

Hypertension is one of the main risk factors for atherosclerosis in adults , but because obesity is strongly related to hypertension, researchers also studied the impact of body mass index (a height-to-weight ratio) on the relationship between adolescent blood pressure and artery thickness in young adult-hood.

"Prevention of early atherosclerosis in ar te ry walls may depend on keeping boys and girls from becoming overweight as adolescents, or helping them lose excess weight if they are already obese," said Dr. Lydia E. Vos, a research fell'ow in the department of clinical epidemiology at University Medical Center in. Utrecht, Netherlands.

Using blood pressure readings obtained from pub-lic school health records< in the city of Utrecht, the researchers tracked 245 healthy men and women and examined their carotid arteries (the main blood vessels supplying the brain). Initial blood pressure

measurements were taken when participants were about 13 years old.

Age, body size and the degree of sexual matura-tion determine blood pressure levels in adolescence. Heavier and more sexually mature teenagers had higher blood pressure.

Researchers examined the par t ic ipants again when they were age 27-30 years old and measured the innermost layers of their carotid arteries called the int ima and media. The measurement , called carotid intima media thickness, reflects the severity of a person's atherosclerosis. The average CIMT was 0.51 millimeters. Researchers wanted to determine if there was a link between blood pressures in youth and atherosclerosis in young adulthood.

Findings An increase of 10 millimeters of mercury in sys-

tolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pres-sure reading) was associated with a 7.7-micrometer increase in CIMT, suggesting tha t healthy young adolescents" with a higher blood pressure develop thicker vessel walls by young adulthood.

www.obscrverandeccentric.com Sharon Dargay, Editor 734-953-2054

However, when body mass index at adolescence was taken into account, the effect of teen blood pres-sure on the ar ter ies was not as strong: The 10-mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure was asso-ciated with only a 2.9-micrometer increase in CIMT.

This finding shows that high body mass index at adolescence had the strongest impact on the blood pressure-CIMT association, said Vos. The prelimi-nary results showed tha t the correlation was the same among both male and female study subjects.

"This shows a clear relat ionship between over-weight and higher blood pressure in adolescents and CIMT in young adulthood," she said.

Thus, maintaining a lower or normal body mass index during adolescence may improve children's future cardiovascular health, Vos concluded.

The teenagers ' average systolic blood pressure was 110 mmHg, and the average diastolic blood pressure was 65 mmHg. Their average height was 1.63 meters (about 5 feet 4 inches), and the. average weight was 50.3 kilograms (about 110 pounds).

rheumatoid arthritis occurs because the joints need i_r(creaSe&re8t,.and do so by restricting movement at night. The results are an ifi$fcii| i |y.tojnc^ freely in the morning; most affected are the hands and feet. '

Other columns have considered the stiffness of polymyalgia rheumatics. In such instances, the problem resides in the shoulders and thighs; movement-is difficult almost agonizing until mid day.

This column will focus on the stiffness you feel when, yoif first arise after sitting for a time, as short as 20 minutes or as long as an hour or more. You find stprting;moticto te difficult, and your initial steps are unsteady, slow and awkward. You move In half bent over posture.

What is happening is that the tendons in your legs, mainly, the quadriceps and hamstring muscles, •act.'Ttie reasons are twofold: 1) while sitting you i unable to respond to the sudden command to contract.*

have not moved in your chair, and 2) your leg muscles are not able to respond with a smooth coordinated contraction. You are not developing arthrj^Si incomplete physical conditioning.

Ratlier, you are showing evidence of

As we grow older, we limit our physical activity and con f i i on ing foan exte.nt we do not realize. Sitting in'the chair without moving is a way to gain extra rest th^ t w e need because our stamina is not at a proper level. The difficulty with initial steps reflects the same-Jack o f conditioning.

;When you experience stiffness getting up from a chair,^on-l bnng the problem to the doctor's office,

take it to a gym. www.drjweiss.yoijrmd.com

Quit smoking with the Web

For smokers, a new calendar year provides a f r e sh s t a r t in at tempting to quit smoking for good.

"It takes more than just sheer will to overcome nicotine addic-tion," said Jeff Williams, Tobacco Programs manager , American Lung Association of Michigan. "To successfully quit, support is needed both physically and emo-tionally. It is important to make qui t t ing smoking a priority in one's life in order for a smoker to combat nicotine addiction. Nico-t ine rep lacement the rapy and prescr ipt ion t he r apy can help wi th the ini t ia l nicotine crav-ings, but addit ional support is needed to help smokers develop positive behavioral changes."

F r e e d o m F r o m Smoking® (FFS) is a six-week, facilitator-led smoking cessation program offered th rough the American Lung Association. FS® is avail-able both in a s t a f fed se t t i ng much like a elassroom and also online. The program has helped thousands of smokers quit for good because it offers support physically, menta l ly and emo-tionally.Freedom From Smoking Onl ine® is ava i l ab l e on t h e Internet 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Web-based program mirrors the classroom set t ing and provides the same support materials.

"Smokers should never qui t quitting," said Williams. "It may take three or more times to suc-cessfully combat smoking, but i t 's a fight wor th waging. The p a y off is t h a t y e a r s wil l be added to the lifetime of an ex-smoker."

Ask the Orthodontist Frequently asked Questions about

Invisible Braces (Invisalign) Q. WHAT IS INVISALIGN?

Invisalign is a way to straighten teeth using; a ser ies of clear, removable , a lmost ; invisible plastic appliances called "aligners'^ "Aligners" a ren ' t c lear b racke t s or retainers, they are much thinner, m o r e -comfortable , less noticeable t rea tment ; : option than anything we have used before.

Q: IS THIS A NEW WAY TO STRAIGHTEN • TEETH?

. Removable appliances have been used for a while now for very limited types of ^ 'treatment. Now that Align Technology has • 'applied 3-D c o m p u t e r t echno logy , invisalign treats a much broader range of s causes with added benefits other than just being removable. :» : in Q. WHAT ARE THE PRIMARY BENEFITS'

OF INVISALIGN? First, Invisalign is nearly invisible-y oil can straighten your teeth without 'anyone knowing. Second, Invisalign is removable-you can eat and drink what you want . Third, Invisalign offers better,oral feygiene-you can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth to help prevent gum disease. Plus, "aligners" are comfortable-there are mb wires, metal or brackets so there is less abrasion in the mouth . Finally, 'a l igners ' are less parts that can break, so emergencies are fewer.

Space limits the amount of questions that! we can cover in this article, so look for more information: about invisalign in two weeks.

©utters are like moat around a castle B Y 3 M O R R I S A N D J A M E S C A R E Y F O R A P W E E K L Y F E A T U R E S

Maintaining a home can be a chore and especially burdensome if you a t tempt a task without the proper tools and equipment.

'Also, a lack of p revent ive home m a i n t e n a n c e u s u a l l y m a k e s an already tough task tougher and more costly. We call it the "pay now or pay more later" scenario.

One of t he biggest t h r e a t s to a home is water. Broken pipes, leaking dra ins and cracks in shower walls ate a few of the m e a n s by which water can damage your home from the inside.

A leaking roof, poorly flashed win-dows and doors, poorly maintained siding and bad drainage are the most common means of damage by water frdm the exterior. Damp basements o r crawl spaces, cracks in concrete and/or foundations, sticking windows and doors, and rotted f raming and siding are some of the most common water-related problems.

Caulk ing , grout , valve gaske ts , clean drains and good plumbing are your best defense against water dam-age t h a t o r i g ina t e s w i t h i n your home. Well-cared-for roofing, siding, gutters and downspouts, and proper grading and drainage can prevent

your home from becoming a casualty during inclement weather.

It's easy to see how a damp base-ment or rotted siding is caused by water. However, people often fail to see the role of water in sticking win-dows and doors, or a cracked founda-tion.

Too much water can make a foun-dation sink or rise depending upon the type of soil and the specific condi-t ions. For example , when wet , "expansive soil" can cause a concrete pier under your home to rise. This, in turn, can cause a hump in the floor. This movement often causes doors and windows to stick. It also can result in cracks over windows and doors.

Another potent ia l hazard of too much w a t e r a round (or under ) a house is rot. The moisture in a con-stantly damp crawl space can con-dense on the floor framing and the underside of the subfloor ensuring their early demise.

A means of preventing water from collecting around the perimeter of a home is a g u t t e r system. If your home doesn't have gutters and down-spouts, install them. If it does, make sure that they're in good shape (not leaking), wel l -anchored and kept clean.

A dirty gu t te r is worse than not

having gutters at all because it can act as a dam t h a t allows water to back up causing roof leaks and rotten rafters and sheathing. Gutter screens will help prevent leaves from collect-ing within a gutter, but are no substi-tute for periodic gutter cleaning.

Airborne dirt, runoff from the roof and deteriorating organic mater ial (leaves, twigs, etc.) turn the inside of a gutter into a mulch pit. This mate-rial must be removed in order for the gutters to function properly.

Gutter cleaning doesn't rank high on the list of how most people would like to spend a weekend, but it pays big dividends. S ta r t wi th a s turdy ladder planted firmly on the ground. When us ing an ex tens ion ladder , avoid placing it against an unsup-ported section of gutter. Failure to do so can cause the gut ter to collapse and result in serious injury.

Having clean gut te rs and down-spouts isn ' t enough. The mi s t ake that many people make is to permit downspouts to discharge at the foun-dations edge. This results in the con-dition discussed earlier.

A good rainwater collection system doesn ' t end a t t he bo t tom of t h e downspout. At a minimum, a precast (concrete or plastic) diverter should be placed below each downspout to direct water away from the house.

Let's Talk About Real Estate

"PRE-APPROVALS ARE A MUST" Many changes have taken place in the real estate business in the last few years. One of these is called a pre-approval. Mortgage lenders now offer a service that allows a potential home buyer to know how much financing he or she can afford before the buyer is committed to purchasing a certain house. After a brief application, the buyer is usually notified quickly as to the amount of money that can be borrowed. Here are the benefits:

Buyer Understands Affordability The buyer gets a document stating how much financing he or she can afford. This takes the guesswork out of home buying. Prior to pre-approvals, buyers would make an offer on a house without really knowing whether the lender would allow them to borrow the amount of money needed to complete the purchase.

Realtors Know The Proper Price Range Buyers would often ask Realtors to show them homes in certain price ranges that were actually more than the buyer could afford. After all the effort of showing homes and negotiating an offer, the buyer would be rejected by the lender and the house they had their hearts set on would be out of reach. Now, the Realtor can arrange showings with the knowledge that the buyer can purchase $ny home being shown.

Offers Are More Easily Accepted The seller wins too. Before pre-approvals, sellers would agree to take their house off the market while their buyer arranged for financing. Sometimes, the buyers would not be able to obtain the amount needed. This would either involve lowering their sales price to accommodate the

.buyer or lost market time trying to attract another buyer who could afford the house.

ADVICE; Ask your Realtor to recommend a mortgage lender who can give you a pre-approval.

This handsome male Golden Retriever is Captain. He is a mature pooch who was brought to the shelter as a stray, who was desperately trying to find a place to call home. Although he never found a home, he hasn't given up hope! He is still hoping that he will soon meet his new owners and be taken to Ms new home in time for the holidays. Due to his friendly personality, this pooch would make a great family, pet or a wonderful companion for anyone who is in need of a lifelong friend. Although he is a little on the heavy side, with a little help from his new owner and some regular exercise, he will be a very healthy pooch who will share many happy years to come with his new owner.

I f you would like to welcome Captain into your family, visit the Michigan Humane Society Westland Shelter.
