corps officers Dan and Jolene Mull can be called a variety of things attached to their ministry, but "captain" is no longer one of them.

The Hulls, who arrived at the Plymouth corps two years ago, have been promoted to the rank of major. The promo-tion was effective June 9.

"You are to be commended for this accomplishment," wrote divisional commander Maj. Norman Shaw in a letter announcing the promotion. "We are honored to take this opportunity to recognize you. There is no doubt that you have been called to fulfill God's calling. We are blessed to have you as a part of our team here in the Eastern Michigan Division."

Thousands expected as festival opens BY DARREUCLEM

OBSERVER STAFf WRITER

Tens of thousands of people from Canton and beyond are expected to con-verge on Heritage Park today ( Thursday) through Saturday for the 20th Liberty Fest — a milestone, patriotic event fea-turing the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall, the U.S. Marine Silent Drill Platoon, a broadened International Festival celebrating the community's diversity, a Michigan Philharmonic con-cert and a festival-crowning fireworks show.

"We're hoping for 40,000 people this year," Jon LaFever, Canton recreation coordinator, said. "I'd be shocked if we don't have our biggest crowd ever."

Though crowd estimates are difficult to gauge, organizers expect a potentially record turnout as special events and fes-

tival favorites draw crowds looking for outdoor fun without busting a budget, including carnival rides, a classic car show, Motown to alternative rock con-certs, savory cuisine and a Friday movie-under-the-stars showing of Shrek Forever After.

Even a decision by Canton officials to trim spending by abandoning a festival parade along Ford Road hasn't damp-ened the enthusiasm for Liberty Fest — an event local leaders say has come to represent a celebration of community.

Greg Welsh, manager of the Florida-based Vietnam TYaveling Memorial Wall, has said the visit to Liberty Fest marks the first trip to Michigan for a V-shaped wall that,stands 6 feet tall, stretches 288 feet and contains more than 58,200 names of troops who died in Vietnam. It is three-fifths the size of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.

"We're very excited," said John Spencer, a Vietnam veteran and member of groups such as Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 528. "This is a big thing for the 20th Liberty Fest. We're excited about having the wall and the U.S. Marine (Silent Drill) Platoon."

The patriotic events are expected to draw people from across Michigan and likely from other states, Spencer said. One group of Vietnam veterans from Downriver plans to board a bus and travel to Canton.

Spectators may view the wall 2-9 p.m. today, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday and — one day beyond Liberty Fest — 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. An open-ing ceremony is scheduled for 6 p.m. today, while a closing ceremony has been set for 5 p.m. Sunday.

Canton, Westland to share water system operation

BY DARRELLCLEM

OBSERVER STAFF WRITER

In what's touted as "a win-win situation" for two com-munities, Canton has reached a contractual agreement with Westland to provide the neighboring city with a state-mandated water system operator.

The accord comes after Gov. Rick Snyder made shared ser-vices one of the touchstones of his administration, say-ing communities that share resources potentially could benefit by receiving statutory state-shared revenue that has declined amid Lansing's bud-get woes.

"In these difficult economic times, it is very important to share services whenever and wherever we can," township Supervisor Phil LaJoy said. "Not only is this agreement

right in line with what the governor is requesting of communities, it is a win-win situation for both of our com-munities."

Canton will provide an employee to assist Westland in monitoring its water dis-tribution system and oversee-ing state compliance issues. The agreement adheres to the Michigan Safe Water Drinking Act and provides Westland with a prop-erly licensed S-l operator-in-charge to perform site visits, collaborate on reports and assist in other water-system matters.

Westland, which has no such employee due to retire-ments, has approved an agreement to pay Canton $101.12 an hour. Westland Mayor William Wild has said the operator likely will be needed only a few hours a

week for routine matters, but possibly more if the city has a significant issue with its water system.

LaJoy confirmed the mutu-al agreement on Monday, say-ing it benefits both commu-nities and potentially could become a stepping stone for scarce statutory state-shared revenue.

However, Wild has said the city has "a couple of employ-ees" who will take a state-licensing test late this year and who, at some point, could possibly take over the duties. As of now, Westland has indi-cated the contract would be in effect through mid-January, though either community could terminate it with 30 days notice.

In another effort to share services, LaJoy said Canton

Kroger scraps gas station

BY OARRELL CLEM

OBSERVER STAFF WRITER

Under fire from its neigh-bors, Kroger has scrapped a proposal to add a gas station to the east side of its store near Michigan Avenue and Canton Center, adjacent to the Kimberly Meadows subdivision where residents feared potential health threats such as airborne ben-zene.

"We are all extremely relieved because that would have had a big impact on us," Kay Lazarowicz, a mother of two, said. "This is something we were all very worried and nervous about."

Bryan Amann, a local attorney representing Kroger, confirmed the com-pany's intent to withdraw its special land use request in a letter he sent Monday to two township officials. Supervisor Phil LaJoy and Planner Angela Woloseiwicz.

The latest develop-ment came one week after the Canton Planning Commission deadlocked 3-3 after revisiting the issue, amid strong opposition from residents who mounted a petition drive against a sta-tion that would have been just over 100 feet from the edge of their neighborhood.

"Kroger does not intend to

pursue a possible fuel facil-ity in the location previously identified at the Premiere (Shopping) Center," Amann wrote. "However, Kroger is exploring other locations at the Premiere Center and intends to undertake an extensive review of the various possibilities before requesting any additional consideration by Canton Township of such a pro-posal."

The decision means the Canton Township Board of Trustees will not consider the initial proposal.

Residents had indicated they wouldn't oppose a Kroger station farther from their homes, perhaps closer to Michigan Avenue. With their children in tow, they had packed the planning commission's June 6 session to oppose a gas station adja-cent to their neighborhood.

"We really do support Kroger (as shoppers)," Lazarowicz said. "We just want them to be responsible about where they put that (station)."

She commended planning commissioners and Canton Township trustees who had indicated support for the neighbors.

As a former hospital and nonprofit administrator, Joe Wald knows too well the strug-gle charitable organizations face in a challenging and ever-changing economy.

"We aren't saying this is a negative. But it is a reality," said Wald, a Michigan State University professor of philan-thropy and advertising.

Waid will present "The Realities of 2011" — a discus-sion of how nonprofit orga-nizations can continue to fulfill their missions in a lag-ging economy — at the third "Lunch & Learn" educational program for nonprofits, hosted by the Canton Community Foundation.

The event is scheduled for noon Wednesday, June 22, at the foundations offices in the Canton Human Services Center, on Ridge Road north of Cherry Hill, in Canton, foundation President Joan Noricks has announced.

SPACE AVAILABLE Electronic invitations are on

their way to nonprofit organi-zations that have participated in the educational forums. But space is available for nonprofit representatives and their guests to attend. Registration, which is open to all nonprofits in western Wayne County, is available on the foundation's website at www.cantonfounda-tion.org.

Consistent among most nonprofits is the lack of financial resources, busi-ness and fundraising plans, and effective communica-tions and marketing. The

public's demand for services is increasing as government pulls the financial plug, and the public's charitable con-tributions decrease, Wald said.

"Every one of these organi-zations has a need for resourc-es. We are going to identify how to find the resources that empower nonprofits to do their jobs," Wald said.

The professor's graduate philanthropy students worked with a number of area non-profit organizations to develop fundraising and marketing plans earlier this year.

"Nonprofits can't pay what this service costs in the mar-ketplace. It's too expensive. We are talking $5,000 to $7,000 or more a month," Wald said.

NONPROFIT STRUGGLES That's why the focus of the

June "Lunch & Learn" will highlight the business of run-ning a nonprofit. "Nonprofits are struggling with ideas for resources," Noricks said. "We at least need to think strategi-cally. In the new economy, how do we continue to survive? We have to think in a different way."

Nonprofit representa-tives will learn how to find resources to sustain their organizations well into the future, as well as the need to pool resources and to find cost-effective ways to get the work done.

"We're going to learn how to move forward," Wald said.

In an economy defined by cuts in government funding.

and donors who are less likely to contribute as freely as in the past, nonprofits, particularly smaller ones, require business and fundraising plans and goals, and excellent compiuni-cations.

"Nonprofits must focus on their impact. When you are fundraising you have to tell your donors and potential donors what impact you have had," Noricks said.

The Canton foundation initiated the "Lunch & Learn" programs to support area nonprofits, as well as to pro-mote networking among the organizations' leaders, and a sharing of resources and ideas. Planned giving programs that can sustain nonprofits for the long term were discussed at the January program. Starfish Family Services presented its community assessment report of western Wayne County communities at the March program.

"When we first thought of these programs, I didn't think that the networking would develop as much as it has. It is an added bonus," Noricks said.

The networking has also incorporated Wald, who was introduced at the foundation's January "Lunch & Learn" to generate interest in working with his graduate students. The MSU students worked with the Detroit Area Diaper Bank, the Plymouth Fife & Drum Corps., the Michigan Philharmonic, Personalized Nursing LIGHT House, and the Plymouth Canton Citizens for Diversity.

If You are African American and Suffered Farm Loan Discrimination

by the USDA between 1981 and 1996,

You may be eligible for money from a $1.25 billion class action Settlement Fund

(Heirs/Kin may be included)

There is a proposed class action Settlement with the U.S. Department ot Agriculture

(USDA) involving racial discrimination against African American farmers between 1981 and 1996. This Settlement is only for certain people who tried to file a late claim in

the original Pigford case, or their heirs (kin) and legal representatives. The current

Settlement (sometimes called Pigford 11) provides benefits to some ot those late tilers

Am I included?

You may be included if you: • Between 1981 and 1996, were discouraged or prevented from applying for or were

denied a USDA farm loan or other benefit, or you were given a loan with unfair terms

because of racial discrimination,

• Were eligible for a payment in the original Pigford case, and

• Submitted a late-filing request that was denied or never considered because it was late.

If you are the heir or kin of someone who died who fits this description, you may file a

claim for a payment that would become part of the deceased person s estate. It you are not

sure if you (or someone for whom you are the legal representative) are included, please

call 1-877-810-8110. You are not included if you received a payment in the original

Pigford case.

What does the Settlement provide?

You may be eligible for a substantial cash payment and USDA loan torgiveness from

the Settlement. You will need to file a claim to be eligible for these benefits. The claims

deadline may be as early as February 28, 2012. The Court has appointed lawyers to help

you file a claim under the Settlement. You do not have to pay them or anyone else to help

you with the claims process. These attorneys will ask the Court tor fees and expenses ot

between 4.1 % and 7.4% of the Settlement Fund, and the Court will decide how much they

are paid. You may hire your own lawyer, if you wish, at your own expense. If you have

questions or need more information, call 1-877-810-8110.

What else should I know?

The Court will hold a hearing on September I, 2011 to consider whether to approve the

Settlement and a request for attorneys' fees and expenses. If you want to object to or

comment on the Settlement or appear at the hearing, you need to file a letter with the Court by August 12, 2011. If the Court approves the Settlement, you will not be able to sue the

USDA about your farm loan discrimination claims in the future.

School district brings back 195 laid-off teachers BY BRAD KAORICH

OBSERVER SUfP WRITER

The Plymouth-Canton Board of Education's decision not to hike class sizes at all three levels of the district paid dividends Tuesday for nearly 200 of the district's 1,100 teachers'.

In a consent-agenda move, the board unanimously approved the recall of 195 of the 269 teachers pink-slipped in April as the district consid-

ered cost-cutting moves to deal with an $18 million deficit.

Of the 7+ teachers not recalled TWsday, some 35-40 are expected to be recalled by the end of the month, human resources chief Ray Bihun told board members IViesday night.

"We're still waiting on staffing," Bihun said. "We're still waiting to see what openings there are at the (Plymouth-Canton Educational) Park."

The layoff notices were handed out in April while the board con-sidered increasing class sizes by about two students at the elemen-tary level, by nearly five at middle schools and nearly four at the high school level. The move would have saved the district some $4 million, but the board — after first consid-ering making the cut — backed off on the idea.

The move would have cost some 80

teachers their jobs. Bihun told board members at the

time he expected only about 80 of the layoffs to take effect. The district's contract with its teachers union requires 60-day notice of potential layoffs, in a procedure done every year.

"We had to take this step to give us the flexibility we need," Bihun said at the lime. "We expect to lay off about 80 teachers, and the rest will

be brought back#depending on their certification.'

That process has now started, and Bihun said Hiesday he was wait-ing on staffing decisions at the high school park before bringing back another 35-40 teachers.

When all the moves have been made, only about 30-40 teachers will have been laid off.

Cancer benefit raises cash, awareness BY BRAD KAORICH

OBSERVER STAFF WRITER

Linda McMaster would have liked to have seen more kids there, but the ones who did show up for the second BLAST fundraiser to beat neuroblas-toma and other childhood can-cers reminded her — not that she needed reminding — why she started doing this last year in the first place.

For the kids. Some 200 children took

part in the fundraiser, held for the second straight year at Mettetal Airport (on the Plymouth-Canton border), and many of them were the children McMaster, whose daughter Lisa is battling neu-roblastoma, likes to call "our cancer warriors."

"As I watched those chil-dren have fun, the reason I do BLAST crystallized," McMaster said. "I do it because there is strength in numbers. 1 do it because knowledge is power and the more people we can educate on what it is like to live with can-cer, the more people we have working to help find a cure. I do it to help build support and awareness so cancer warriors and their families don't feel like they have to walk alone."

Donations were still being counted, but McMaster said she's confident she'll have a check for between $5,000 and $6,000 to divide between Mott Children's Hospital, the Rainbow Connection and the other chari-ties who benefit from BLAST.

The event, she said, went "very

smoothly." Mark Rosenthal and Animal Magic was on hand and, at one point, had "some of the girls ready to run" by pull-ing out a tarantula, McMaster said. Lisa's godfather and fam-ily friend. Matt Holowicki, built a kind of dunk tank, and McMaster hersell raised about $100 by being the dunkee.

Many staffers from Mott Children's Hospital actually ma^de an appearance, and one nurse's niece arranged for some sheep, chickens and a rabbit to provide a small pet-ting farm for children to enjoy.

Volunteers from Lisa's school, Hulsmg Elementary, helped out. Becky King solic-ited baked goods from other Hulsing parents and raised nearly $450. Chef John Cortez and Chefs Against Cancer pro-

vided the food. And, while McMaster orga-

nized the event, she is very-quick to point out how much help she got getting it off the ground.

"Many people are willing to lend a hand, give a shoulder to cry on and share stories of their own experiences in order to provide support and offer hope," McMaster said. "I was reminded, once again, how blessed we.are. Many, many people stepped up to help with this event and did their share with a smile on their face and love in their heart."

Youth center gets Wayne County grant BY DARRELLCLEM

OBSERVER STAFF WRITER

A popular Canton youth center that strives to keep youngsters off the street and out of potential trouble has received a $15,000 grant from Wayne County to buy equipment such as comput-ers, video gaming systems and televisions.

The B.L.O.C.K. Youth and Teen Center — an acronym for Building Leaders Out of Canton's Kids — has been chosen as a recipient of dol-lars intended to reduce youth crime by providing summer and after-school prevention programs.

The $15,000 comes from the Wayne County Children and Family Services PASS — or Prevention Action Service System — program. It arrives as Canton continu-ally looks for ways to pro-vide top-tier services amid shrinking revenues.

"It certainly helps pro-vide for a fair amount of equipment that will really enhance the experiences of the kids," Canton Leisure Services Director Debbie Bilbrey-Honsowetz said.

Wayne County Commissioner Kevin

McNamara helped secure the grant for The B.L.O.C.K., which provides a vast num-ber of after-school activities ranging from tutoring to rec-reation 2:30-8:30 Monday through Friday, though sum-mer camp hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. start Monday, June 20.

The center is located at 44237 Michigan Ave. at Sheldon.

The latest grant comes as Canton has reached out for any grant dollars possible to help pay for the center, which provides supervised activities and programs for youths ages 11 to 17, though the summer program focuses on ages 11 to 15.

The grant will help The B.L.O.C.K. buy equipment it needs to continue its mission of helping youngsters despite shrinking township tax rev-enues.

"We just don't have the dollars we need to invest in those things these days," Bilbrey-Honsowetz.

McNamara has repeatedly said he has made youth ser-vices one of his top priorities, saying it costs less to invest in youngsters now than to pay the price tag if they get into serious trouble.

The B.L.O.C.K. in 2010 served 4,199 youngsters who accumulated 17,216 visits, Bilbrey-Honsowetz said. She said structured youth programs are a critical com-ponent to combating juvenile crime.

To that end. The B.L.O.C.K. also has out-reach programs that bring activities to certain at-risk neighborhoods, and it pro-vides trips to places such as Summit on the Park and the Canton Public Library.

Bilbrey-Honsowetz said youth services have become increasingly important as more youngsters lack at-home supervision, especially if they live in single-par-ent households where the money-earner can be forced to work long hours "to put food on the table."

The B.L.O.C.K. provides programs such as after-school recreation and tutor-ing, facility membership, teen-night-out events, lock-ins and camps.

For more information, call (734) 398-5570 or go to www.canton-mi.org and look under the "Visiting" tab for recreation facilities.

C R I M E W A T C H Not a clay bird Joy Rd, Joy Rd

1 A Canton man accused of shooting a pigeon out-

side his home on Riverside Court, northwest of Geddes and Canton Center, was cited by police for reckless discharge of a firearm and cruelty to animals, accord-ing to a police report.

A neighbor contacted police Saturday afternoon after he said he saw the suspect shoot a pigeon, say-ing he had witnessed simi-lar incidents in the past. A police officer who went to the scene saw a bleeding pigeon that was having dif-ficulty trying to fly because its wing had been injured.

The suspect told police he only uses a cap pistol to try to scare pigeons away from his bird feeders, and he denied shooting the injured bird. He indicated maybe someone else shot it.

However, the suspect's neighbor indicated to police he would be willing to be a wit-ness against the accused pigeon assailant. Based on that, police issued the citations.

Home invasion

2A woman who lives on Emerald Pines, northwest of Lotz and Palmer, contact-

ed police and reported that money and items amounting to $50,000 had been stolen from her home Friday afternoon.

She told police she had gone to Sam's Club to shop and returned home to find her house had been ransacked. She called 9-1-1.

It appeared a door of the home had been pried open. She said a suitcase taken from a master bedroom closet had $4,000 in it. She also said items stolen included a laptop computer and numerous items of Indian/Hindu jewelry.

second time without paying after putting gas in his vehicle, a police report said.

The latest incident happened about 7:15 a.m. Friday.

The station owner said a white male with a ponytail put $21.03 in gas in a black Saturn and then drove westbound on Warren without paying. He reported a similar incident involving $17 in fuel just four days earlier.

The owner gave police a license plate number, and police contacted a man who told officers he and his common-law wife live on Social Security benefits and had no way to pay for the gas until next month.

Moreover, he told police he has medi-cal conditions that make him forgetful, adding that he didn't mean to steal the fuel. He said he had $13 to live on until July 3.

A police report indicated the station owner was willing to accept a partial pay-ment until the man could pay the rest on July 3. The police report indicated the sta-

tion owner didn't want to prosecute the man.

Booze bust

4Canton police arrested two males following a

traffic stop that occurred about 1 a.m.Sunday in the area of Michigan Avenue and Beck Road.

Police spotted a white Lincoln Town Car with an expired temporary plate on eastbound Mott west of Denton, and trailed it to the area where it was stopped.

Police smelled intoxi-cants on the driver, who said he was headed to Ypsilanti to drop off two female passengers. The driver, who didn't have a valid driver's license, was arrested. Another male in the car was taken into custody for numerous traffic violations in places such as Ypsilanti and Inkster.

Lane crosser

5Canton police arrested a male driver about 5:50 p.m. Saturday after seeing

a vehicle cross lanes on Michigan Avenue near Canton Center without signaling.

Police trailed the vehicle to the Walmart store on Michigan Avenue and took the driver into custody after learning that he was wanted on a felony warrant out if Inkster.

Police said the vehicle smelled of mari-juana but none was found.

Saw swiped

6A resident of Brookview, northeast of Palmer and Lilley, contacted police

after he said someone stole a Craftsman miter saw from his garage sometime prior to 9 p.m. Friday.

Police had taken a report of a similar larceny from a shed in the same neighbor-hood just a few days earlier.

Safety week spotlights dangers of lightning

While lightning can be fas-cinating to watch, it is also extremely dangerous, which is why June 19-26 has been des-ignated "National Lightning Safety Awareness Week."

During the past 30 years, lightning killed an average of 55 people per year in the United States based on documented cases. However, because light-ning usually claims only one or two victims at a time, and because lightning does not cause the mass destruction left in the wake of tornadoes or hurricanes, lightning gener-ally receives much less atten-tion than the more destructive weather-related killers.

While documented lightning injuries in the United States average about 300 per year, undocumented injuries caused by lightning are likely much higher.

Between 1959 and 2009, the state of Michigan ranks 14th among all states in the number of lightning deaths, with 104 people known to be killed by lightning. During that same time period, Michigan ranks second only behind Florida in lightning injuries, with 731 peo-ple known to have been injured by a lightning strike in the state.

Just this year, on April 26, nine people were injured when lightning struck a soc-cer field at Westfield Park in Portage. The injured were a mix of adults and students who ranged in age from 12 to 41. Seven people were transported to area hospitals and two sought treatment on their own.

Fortunately, it has been many years since Michigan has had a lightning fatality, thanks in part to campaigns such as the

Lightning Safety Awareness Week. The last lightning fatali-ties in Michigan were in 2006 and 2007 when a total of four people were killed by lightning.

During a thunderstorm, each flash of cloud-to-ground light-ning is a potential killer. It's only a question of whether a person is in the path of the lightning discharge. Lightning deaths can be prevented only if people are aware of the dangers and seek shelter in a building or car.

Lightning can strike as much as 10 miles away from the rain area in a thunder-storm, which is about the dis-tance that you are able to hear the thunder from the storm. That is why we stress: IF YOU CAN HEAR THE THUNDER FROM A STORM, YOU ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO BE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. "If thunder roars, go indoors."

Where organized sports activ-ities are taking place, coaches, umpires, referees, or camp counselors must protect the safety of the participants and viewers by stopping the activi-ties sooner, so that the partici-pants and spectators can get to a safe place before the lightning threat becomes significant

We encourage everyone to take advantage of Lightning Safety Awareness Week to review their plans and discuss with their children the dangers of lightning. Simply moving indoors when you see lightning or hear thunder can save lives.

Orlewicz won't get new trial in beheading case BY BRAD KADRICH

OBSERVER STAFF WRITER

If Jean Pierre Orlewicz is going to get a new trial after all, the Michigan Supreme Court is going to have to give it to him.

The Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled the convic-tion of Orlewicz, the Plymouth Township teenager serv ing a life sentence for the 2007 murder of 26-year-old Daniel Sorensen, stands and decided he won't get a new trial.

The ruling reverses the one made by Wayne County Circuit Judge Bruce Morrow,

KROGER FROM PAGE A1

WATER FROM PAGE A1

who ruled in December 2009 that Orlewicz's attorneys were correct in say-ing the con-victed killer's rights were violated when original trial

judge Annette Berry didn't allow psychiatric testimony in the original trial.

Morrow agreed, say-ing Berry's decision denied Orlewicz his right to effective counsel by not allowing psy-chiatrists to testify. According

Orlewicz

to Orlewicz's lawyers, psy-chiatrists would have told the jury about Orlewicz's mental condition at the time of the November 2007 killing.

Orlewicz's lawyer, Elizabeth Jacobs, said the case will be appealed to the Michigan Supreme Court next month.

"I'm very disappointed as a lawyer, and the family is very disappointed," Jacobs said. "We believe strongly in these issues and will be tak-ing them to the Michigan Supreme Court."

The case was actually heard by a pair of three-judge Court of Appeals panels.

However, the first panel, which heard the arguments in September, was reduced to two members after Gov. Rick Snyder appointed Brian Zahra to the Michigan Supreme Court in January. The two remaining members couldn't agree on a decision.

A new panel reviewed tapes of the original September arguments, then heard addi-tional oral arguments June 8. The second panel published its opinion Tuesday. In ren-dering their opinion, judges said, in part, "(Morrow) erred in granting defendant's new trial, and we reverse that

action," Lazarowicz said. "This is actually how it should work. When the people speak, they should be heard. It's not always about the almighty dollar."

Amann has said Kroger want-ed to build the gas station to remain competitive and expand services to its customers. He and an environmental firm hired by the grocery chain have said the project wouldn't pose health risks to neighbors and that the proposal met all local, state and federal guidelines.

Still, Kroger opted to aban-don the proposal and possibly seek an alternate plan.

"It was the right decision for a lot of reasons — mainly for the environmental impact, and I just thought it was an unnec-essary development there," said township board Trustee John Anthony, who drew accolades for visiting Kimberly Meadows on Monday to notify residents of Kroger s decision. "There may be other options to benefit Kroger and the community. I just don't think this was a good fit for the community."

Neighborhood resident Lisa Tams had raised concerns that airborne benzene could poten-tially place residents at risk of health issues such as childhood leukemia, though Kroger rep-resentatives said on-site design safeguards would eliminate such risks.

Saying there were "too many unknowns" about the proposed gas station, Tams lauded local officials for revisiting the issue, which once had planning com-mission support, and for decid-ing to "err on the side of caution."

Numerous people and organiza-tions contributed to bringing the wall to Canton.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Marine Silent Drill Platoon is set to per-form at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Heritage Park Amphitheater, dazzling crowds with a series of calculated drill movements and the precise handling of their hand-polished rifles and fixed bayonets. The Michigan Philharmonic will perform at the amphitheater after the drill platoon.

LaFever has called the U.S. Marine Silent Drill Platoon "a national treasure" and said "it is a great accomplishment to get them to perform in Canton." Crowds are encouraged to arrive early.

Meanwhile, the Canton Commission for Culture, Arts and Heritage plans to sponsor a special International Festival 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, near the Canton LIVE! Stage, featuring an interac-tive multicultural booth celebrating Canton's diversity.

Festival goers are encouraged to wear clothing representing their culture and traditions and to stop by a cultural commission booth for a keepsake photo, available through Flickr. The theme of this year's International Festival is "Canton Wears Your Heritage" — chosen as a way to showcase the global cul-tures that coexist in Canton.

"The International Festival has really picked up over the years," said ReGina Shamberger, who chairs the Canton Commission for Culture, Arts and Heritage. "It's a little world of its own ."

The Vietnam Memorial Traveling Wall comes to Canton's Liberty Fest today (Thursday).

expects to enter into a second agreement with Westland for GIS, or Geographic Information Systems, work. Canton would provide the expertise to update Westland s maps for a special taxing TIFA, or Tax Increment Finance Authority, district, sidewalks, roads and census tracts, among other possible areas.

Under that expected agree-ment, Canton would provide database management that would be accessible through a secure, virtual private network.

In separate statements, LaJoy and Wild called the shared ser-vices "win-win situations" for Canton and Westland.

LaJoy called it yet another way the two communities can become partners and potentially reap benefits from state-shared revenue. He also said the agreement will bring in additional revenue to offset Canton's employee costs.

grant." "Defendant has not pre-

sented to us any errors or infringements of his rights that warrant reversal, and he waived his public trial issue," the panel ruled. "We there-fore aff irm defendant's con-victions and sentences."

The panel did, however, remand for the administra-

tive task of correcting defen-dant's judgment of sentence to show that he is convicted of a single count of first-degree murder supported by two theories.

Jacobs said she was glad the panel ruled so quickly.

Tips to save broken electronics S YOUR BUSINESS O&A BY JONGUNNELLS

GUEST COLUMNIST

i'm the type of person who never puts his phone in the same pocket which also

means I'm the kind of guy who always drops his phone and them blames it on poorly designed pockets.

During a golf outing earlier this month. 1 placed my phone in one of those faulty pockets and by the 13th green — the golf balls weren't the only things I had lost on the course.

By the time 1 located my phone it had already been run over by a golf cart (can't blame that on bad pockets). The cart smashed the phone into the wet fairway. The unit and the bat ten had significant water damage and even after 1 dried them both off with a towel — they still wouldn't work.

When I returned home a few hours later I tried a last ditch effort to get the water out of my phone. Remembering something I read on the Internet a few years earlier, I took the battery out of my phone and placed it in a plas-tic storage container full of uncooked rice.

Within three hours, the LED indicator at the top of the phone started lighting up. In six hours, the screen began lighting up. After eight hours.

Tech Savvy

Jon Gunnells

the audio capa-bilities on my phone were back to nor-mal. Because I had previously linked my phone with my car's hand-free calling system via Bluetooth I was even able to access my

contacts and make calls. Although my phones water

damage was too significant to overcome, the moisture the dry rice absorbed helped my phone enough to let me call my service provider and have a new phone mailed to me.

The ability to dial out with my half-broken device was essential, because like many people, my cell phone is the only phone I own.

If your cell phone, MP3 play-er or other handheld device has a run in with liquid, follow these steps to try and bring it back to life.

• Take the item apart. Remove batteries, memory cards, SIM cards and anything else than can be taken off the device.

• Place the phone face up in a warm area like a closet, or better yet, place it in a plastic container full of uncooked rice. It may take up to a day

for your phone to slowly dry out.

• You can try placing your device in front of a fan, or even under a hair dryer but make sure the unit is not exposed to extreme heat.

• Most importantly don't put your phone in a pocket it is likely to fall out of and you won't drop it and end up run-ning it over with a golf cart. Seriously though — purchase insurance for your device if it is available because accidents happen and electronics are expensive — especially cell phones.

Cell phone providers often times hand out new phones for free or discounted rates and offset the phone cost with a commitment for a monthly phone plan. But when you break your phone, those deals aren't available and a smart phone could cost $300-$400 more than you paid for it when you signed your contract.

Jon Gunnells, a Northville Township resident, is a social media planner at a Detroit-based advertising agency. A 2007 graduate of Michigan State University, he holds a B A in journal-ism. When he's not working, Gunnells enjoys college sports, social media and playing basketball. He can be reached at jonathan.gunnells^ gmail.com. Follow him on Twitter @ GunnShOw.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Fitness concept

A national franchise with over 400 loca-tions around the country star ted pre-sales June 6 for a new location in Canton.

The club is conveniently located at the northwest corner of Canton Center Road and Hanford. The premier fitness center is over 15,000 square feet and combines three unique factors; environment, people and phi-losophy to create its "Judgment Free Zone," which includes the famous "Lunk Alarm" that sounds when loud banging and grunting occur as a friendly reminder to members to keep the noise level down.

Chris Klebba, an Owner and Operator states, "The Judgment Free Zone really cre-ates a non-intimidating, friendly environ-ment unlike any health club today," owner Chris Klebba said. "We are reaching a much broader population, many of our members have been away from a health club or some-what put off by the traditional definition of a gym; plus we offer memberships start ing as low as $10 a month on a month to month basis."

The club, scheduled to open in July, is Chris and Ellen Klebba's sixth in the Michigan area. Chris has over 25 years' expe-rience in the health club industry and is a fit-ness expert, regular columnist and speaker. "We searched a broad area for our sixth loca-tion and we are proud to bring this unique fitness option to the Canton area where peo-ple can relax and be themselves while achiev-ing the results they desire," he said.

The co-ed facility is open and staffed 24 hours a day during the week and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekends and includes unlimited fitness instruction, a 30-minute express workout, 12-minute abdominal circuit, over $700,000 in the latest cardio, toning and f irming equipment, 46-inch flat screen TV cardio entertainment systems, massage chairs and extensive tanning facilities along

with the new red light therapy, anti-aging Beauty Angel.

For more information, call Chris Klebba at (248) 808-4365 or check www.planetfitness. com

Patient wellness hallmark of local chiropractic clinic

Observer Tell us about your business, Including the types of services and/or products you feature?

Gerou: We provide short-term chiropractic care, as well as wellness care for our patients. We treat athletes, seniors, and kids. Our latest offering, non-surgical decompression, can often allow our patients to receive a successful treatment alternative to surgery for their low back/sciatica condition. Observer: How did you f irst decide to open your business?

Gerou: While attending EMU, I was working two jobs, at UPS and Kroger, while also running. A low back injury stopped me in my tracks. 1 went to a Chiropractor who corrected my problem and eliminated my back pain and allowed me to resume my running. I discovered that if I got a Chiropractic adjustment before my running races, I performed better! This excited me, and lead to me pursuing Chiropractic as a career. Observer: Why did you choose Canton?

Gerou: Canton was a fast-growing community, easily accessible from other places, and a younger population that were establishing their families here. Observer: What makes your business unique?

Gerou: We are the only Chiropractic office in the Canton-Plymouth area that offers non-surgical spinal decompression for treating acute, severe low back pain and sciatica.

Observer: How has It changed since you opened?

Gerou: The average patient understands Chiropractic

Gerou better, and they are also more

in tune with their body and desire health & wellness more. Observer: How has the recent economy affected your business?

Gerou: It has affected all businesses; we are not immune to that. Many patients have lost their jobs, or had their insurance coverage changed or cut out. As a result, it has made it more difficult for patients to receive the health care they need. We try our best to make it as affordable for them to come in for care as needed. Observer: Do you have a funny t idbit or story to share with our readers about your experience so far as a small business owner?

Gerou: On the day I first opened my practice, a dentist next door told me to be sure and buy a newspaper the next day, because something "extraordinary occurred today." I was too busy making sure everything was going right in my practice, so I did NOT pay any attention to any "happenings" on that day. Well, I discovered that my opening day was "Black Monday," the day the stock market almost crashed. Observer: Any advice for other business owners?

Gerou: Plan your work, and

Carnival rides, along with food and entertainment, make the Canton Liberty Festival a can't-miss event.

Can't miss it Liberty Festival one of those must-see events

A f t e r 19 yea r s of p u t t i n g on t he a n n u a l L iber ty Festival, one would think it would seem "old hat" by now.

But every year, the folks at Canton Leisure Services put together an outs tanding festival, with jus t enough different to keep it fresh, and always interesting.

This year is no different. With some help f rom local veterans groups, the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall will be in town, opening Thursday and remaining avail-able for visitors through Sunday. The presence of the wall probably helped the U.S. Marines decide to send their silent drill team here, a must-see precision team that will leave visitors speechless.

There's the s tandard festival fare — en te r t a inment , food, the carnival and, of course, the festival's signature event — the Saturday night fireworks.

There's a lot of o ther s tuff going on — the char i ty spaghetti dinner hosted by the Canton firefighters, the pancake b reakfas t sponsored by t he Lions Club, the international festival.

And while local officials scrapped the annual parade due to budget cuts, they still expect a strong response to myriad events that include a U2 tribute band (among a p le thora of e n t e r t a i n m e n t ) and a p e r f o r m a n c e by the Michigan Ph i lha rmon ic (formerly the P lymouth Symphony Orchestra).

Liberty Fest, anchored in Heritage Park off Canton Center be tween Cher ry Hill and Pa lmer roads , has become increasingly popular since organizers rolled out the first festival two decades ago as a way to celebrate community.

As Canton Township Supervisor Phil LaJoy is fond of pointing out, the festival is "part of our history ... par t of our community." It really is a way of bringing fami-lies together and having an opportunity to enjoy enter-tainment . It's par t of the local quality of life for which Canton has become known.

With a stubborn economy that has caused many fami-lies to scale back out-of- town vacations. Liberty Fest has also come to play an even more crucial role as local residents seek ways to enjoy their leisure t ime closer to home.

The fun s ta r t s today (Thursday) and continues 1-11 p.m. Friday and 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday.

Canton's Liberty Fest celebrates its l andmark 20 th year s t a r t i ng today, wi th project ions it will d raw as many as 40 ,000 people.

Make sure to be one of them.

Stop cutting education I am writing as a parent of a student in the

Wayne-Westland Community Schools district in response to the cuts in K-12 education.

Our school district has faced cuts the last several years in funding from the state. To deal with this decrease in revenue, the school board closed elementary schools and reconfigured the grade levels in the remain-ing buildings to utilize them more efficiently. They also redrew the bus routes to maximize the number of students on every bus.

Our district purchases natural gas, fuel and electricity as part of a consortium with other districts to save by "buying in bulk." Wayne-Westland has created the l-SAVE Program to teach students and staff about the impor-tance of saving energy and the planet, which has saved additional money in util ity costs.

Many school employees have lost their jobs due to cutbacks. Building and depart-mental staff are working hard to keep up with the same amount of work with less people. Supply budgets have been cut: purchases have been put "on hold."

My neighborhood school has closed My children get home later than before because of the new bus routes. Every year I watch the school district struggle with budget concerns due to issues with state funding. In spite of all that, Wayne-Westland continues to provide a guality education for my children - a founda-tion for lifelong learning.

I implore you to stop cutting funds to K-12 education for the future of my children, yours and the State of Michigan's. The backbone of a great society is educated people: education is an investment with an excellent return.

Could this be you? This letter is a plea to all people who have

lost someone close and dear to them. My parents passed in 2008 and I have had a very difficult time in coping with their loss. They are buried at Parkview Memorial Gardens in Livonia but my reguest is to everyone who regularly visits any cemetery to remember

those who are gone. I, like many others, find comfort in bringing

flowers and checking on the gravesite to say a prayer and remember times past However, on May 231 stopped by to check on the gor-geous pink geranium basket that 1 had put there a couple of weeks ago with a beautiful firefly shepherd hook and it was gone My hook was still there but the beautiful plant was gone. I went to the front office with tears in my eyes and talked to the ladies at Parkview in total misbelief that people would steal flowers from a cemetery. They told me there was nothing they could do and it hap-pens all over.

What kind of person can steal from a ceme-tery, steal from my heart? 1 believe that what goes around comes around and whoever you are who did this will answer for it when life on earth is over. 1 will still continue to visit my parents' gravesite and 1 will not let the evil in this world get me down, but I will be watching as will heaven above so please think twice before stealing any flowers again.

He was a killer Jack Kevorkian was a post-industrial serial

killer protected by the fog of a Byzantine legal system which he exploited to serve his twisted agenda. It is surreal observing a human being engaged in this behavior and then promote it as a progressive movement Of course. Jack would never entertain the notion of using his "killing machine" on him-self.

When all the smoke clears and the cheer-leading is over, many will come to realize how harmful he was for those who value life and death with dignity.

Opposition to health care reform confusing

No pre-presidential maneuvering by Mitt Romney and Thaddeus McCotter would be complete without a lively round of health care reform bashing As many times as I've heard the arguments, 1 remain utterly confused.

• Why are Americans content to see fellow citizens disappear in a deluge of debt due to illnesses that could happen to any of us at any time7

• Why don't we care that people who work full-time plus at low-paying jobs and who struggle to put food on the table are not entitled to take care of their families' health care needs?

• Since when is it the mark of a good American to let our fellow citizens deplete a lifetime of savings and declare bankruptcy, and then think of them as free-loaders?

• Why do politicians insist that we can rely on private enterprise to regulate health care when the market has done such a spectacu-larly dismal )ob of it so far?

• What kind of American feels that as long as I and my family are protected, it's OK to let other Americans twist in the wind?

Here's a challenge - find me a person with diabetes and/or a sick child who has no health insurance and no trust fund who wants the new health care law repealed Mr McCotter? Anyone?

Promoting Michigan as a great state begins with us The best form of advertising is

word of mouth. While sitting on a flight to

South Florida, my seatmate and I got talking about the beauty of Michigan.

He's lived in Florida a good part of his life and only

^ ^ thought of Michigan as a frozen wasteland or the old rust belt — until he moved to the beautiful town of

Chelsea, Mich. Now he and his fam-ily enjoy the bounty of our stunning peninsulas.

My seatmate told me that when he can coax/encourage his Florida friends to venture north (summer only!), they are amazed by the vast-

Tom Watkins

ness and glory of Michigan and return for vacations here, again and again.

That's when it hit me — those of us who call Michigan home often forget what our mitten state has to offer, taking our state for granted.

Perhaps we have let the woes fol-lowing the Great Recession and our imploding economy and auto indus-try that once buoyed us for many decades weigh us down.

Perhaps it is time to revisit our state motto: "If you seek a beautiful peninsula, look about you."

Look about us indeed. 1 shared the idea of turning all

Michiganians into state promoters with Mike Finney, president and CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, asking that his job development and tourism

agency consider providing us all with the tools to invite family and friends to enjoy/promote/explore Michigan.

What if we made it easy for individ-uals and families to "sell Michigan"? Could we put packages together con-taining discount coupons, maps, vid-eos and other Michigan goodies and give them to Michiganians, thereby encouraging us all to share with relatives and out-of-state friends? It could help us make the beauty of Pure Michigan more attractive — and give our tourism industry a boost!

What about using social media net-works to promote Michigan?

How about making those spec-tacular Pure Michigan commercials available to everyone and encourage them to load them on to Facebook, MySpace, and TWitter feeds, thereby promoting Michigan to family and

friends, and making ourselves self-promoters of our state?

GREAT M I N D S As it turns out, the crew at MEDC,

under the leadership of the governor and Finney, has just finished the beginnings of such a word-of-mouth campaign to promote Michigan.

As Joseph J. Serwach, manag-ing director of communications for MEDC, stated in an e-mail to me: "in communications and marketing, we've continually learned that a simple con-versation is the best way to educate, to influence, to make a case and change minds."

Word of mouth works! Joe informed me the MEDC just

completed a video, "Why Michigan.' The goal is to promote Michigan via social networking and are encour-

N V A I R T R R ' J M M M H M M H M M B B M B V B B V M V

aging everyone to share "Why Michigan?" widely (http://www.you-tube.com/watch?v=cWyZl BnX YLg&f eature=channel_video_title).

Take the time to download and watch, shiire and save; it is as inviting as it is stunning.

Michiganians, here's a tool for us to tweet and post to Facebook, MySpace and your favorite social networking outlets, informing families and friends about our great state.

Each and every one of us can Uirn into a Michigan-family promotional arm for "Pure Michigan — too good to keep to ourselves."

Philharmonic kicks off patriotic summer The Michigan Philharmonic

will kick off the summer season and its new name by presenting a free pops concert 6:+5 p.m. Saturday at Cantons Liberty Fest.

Those who can't make it to the June 18 fireworks spec-tacular have other chances to hear the former Plymouth Symphony Orchestra in a casual summer atmosphere. A Friday, June 24 Pop's Plus Concert is set for Kensington Metropark in Milford and on Saturday, July 2, The Michigan Philharmonic will salute America with a special concert in Plymouth's Kellogg Park.

This Saturday's concert in Cantons Heritage Park is a family friendly program featuring American favor-

ites "Yankee Doodle Dandy," "This Land is Your Land," "America the Beautiful," and more. Guests are invited to enjoy the music which starts at 6:45 p.m. at the Amphitheater Stage. The Liberty Fest fire-works will cap off the evening and light up the sky at dusk.

• The Friday. June 24, "Pops Plus" program at Kensington Metropark starts at 8 p.m. and features music from films such as "An American in Paris," "West Side Story"and "Bridge on the River Kwai." In addi-tion the Philharmonic, under the direction of music director and conductor Nan Washburn, will perform John Phillip Sousa's march, "Stars and Stripes Forever."

The concert is free and open to the public; however,

a $5 daily park entry fee is required.

• The July 2 program, "An American Salute,' celebrates the nation's birthday with a fun, family-friendly free con-cert at 7:30 p.m. that showcas-es popular American compos-ers Richard Rodgers, Aaron Copeland, George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein. The big brass, cannons and church bells of Tchaikovsky's spectacular "1812 Overture" provide a sensational grand finale to this summer concert, sponsored by the Observer 6) Eccentric and Hometown Neivspapers, in partnership with the Plymouth Downtown Development Authority, I H A and the Grand Traverse Pie Company.

Bring a lawn chair, relax,

eat a slice of pie and celebrate the holiday close to home in Plymouth's Kellogg Park.

Bank fees can add up, so consider options It seems o\tr the last few veare

consumers have gotten used to fees. Whether it's airlines chain-

ing to check bags, or hotels adding resort fees to the cost of the room

Generally , when it comes to fees consumers dont have many ahernathes. In some situations, they just ha^ to grin and bear it However, there are certain situations where consumers have choices and it Money Matters pays to be proac-tive. Some of the Rick Bloom fees are small, however, when they are recurring, they add up. One area in particular where consumers can save money and where there are options is banks.

Banks haw a history of chain-ing various fees — whether it's the outrageous amounts they charge for bounced checks or even just to print checks. I recently read an article about the new fees that some banks around the country are charging. Thev include fees for:

•Talking to a teller •Cashing in coins •Receiving an incoming wire

transfer of money •Redeeming points •Account closing fees To be fair to banks, they are

in business to make money and profits for their shareholders. Therefore, in this tough and difficult economy, banks are no different than any other orga-nization pursuing new ways to produce revenue. There is no doubt that in the past, because of some of their procedures, they've incurred costs and have not received any revenue. I rec-ognize that. What I don't like is how difficult some banks make it to determine what their fees are. They offer different types of accounts and services, each with its own fee structure. When they implement a new fee or raise an existing one, banks have a ten-dency to bury the information, making it difficult for the cus-tomer to stay informed.

That being said, whether banks are justified in charg-ing the fees or not, I'm not sure. However, consumers have options.

FEES DIFFER Not all banks charge the

same fees. In addition, not all accounts at a bank pay the same fees. Depending upon the type of customer you are and the type of account, you may pay different fees.

The key is to focus not only on what fees banks charge, but rather, whether the fees are for services you need. If you choose not to receive paper statements and like receiving them online, the fact the bank charges for paper statements is irrelevant to you. On the other hand, if your bank is charging you for incoming wire transfers and you receive incoming transfers, then the fee is important.

Look at your bank statement over the last few months and see what fees you are paying. If there are recurring fees, it may make sense to consider a change.

Chiefs hit wall in D1 quarters

BY TIM SMITH

OBSCRVER STAFF WRITER

Until Uiesday s game at Michigan State University, all the Canton varsity Softball team knew about Mattawan was its top bill-ing.

It didn't take long during the Division 1 state quarterfinal at Secchia Stadium for the Chiefs to find out the No. 1 ranking was accu-rate.

Mattawan senior pitcher Lauren Gevaart gave up a leadofif single to sophomore catcher Catherine Porter and that was it as the Wildcats cruised to a 12-0 victory. The game was shortened to six innings due to the mercy rule.

Need any more proof that Canton ran into a buzzsaw? Gevaart struck out 11 batters

and the Wildcats (34-P R E P SOFTBALL 5) clubbed 15 hits and

three home runs — one hitting a tree located some 20 feet behind the center-field fence.

"They're a real good team," Canton head coach Jim Arnold said. "We just had an off-day. We can play with them tomorrow, but today just wasn't our day.

"Nobody's held us to one hit in a ballgame. Give credit to their pitcher. She did an out-standing job. moved the ball around a lot."

Canton senior shortstop and co-captain CarolAnn Se.xauer tried to give her team-mates a primer on what to expect playing in a big state tournament game.

Central Michigan-bound Sexauer was on Canton's back-to-back Dl state semifinalists in girls basketball.

"We talked about it and it's really easy to let this atmosphere get to you," Sexauer said. "It's something that's really hard to master."

Canton wasn't able to do so TXiesday as Saturday's doubleheader romp in the region-a l quickly seemed like a distant memory.

'There's nothing else you can say," Sexauer said. "We've come so far. It's just a bummer when we don't play to our potential."

BAD OMEN Things didn't go well from the start. In

the top of the first against Chiefs freshman pitcher Hanna Warren, leadoff batter Alyssa McBride reached on a single and was sacri-ficed over by Sara Johnson.

But the throw back across the diamond to try to cut down McBride heading for third

Canton powers to regional title

OBSERVER STAFF WRITER

A mighty display of early offense started Canton on its way to a regional championship in softball Saturday afternoon.

The Chiefs enjoyed an 8-0 lead after three at-bats in the tourna-ment final at Novi, and they rolled to an eventual, 11-1 victory over North Farmington.

"We came up and just hit the ball," Canton coach Jim Arnold said. "We hit the ball all day today, and that's the key at this level.

"We're scoring runs; we're hit-ting the ball. (Lauren) Leskovitz hit two home runs today; (CarolAnn) Sexauer also hit a home run and played great defense at shortstop. We were just pounding the ball." The Chiefs, who had 11 hits in the final game, scored six runs in the third inning on just three hits, two

walks and three errors. But the Canton hits were big ones.

Kaitlyn Mattson hit a two-run sin-gle, and the next batter, Leskovitz, greeted North relief pitcher Katy Severson with a two-run homer.

"Knowing North Farmington, you can score six runs, but you can't be comfortable with that," Arnold said. "They've come from behind twice (in district tournament games to beat Northville and Mercy).

"We told the kids: "You can't be comfortable with this many runs. You have to keep putting pressure on them,' They listened and they did that. It was awesome."

Canton (34-6) added a run in the sixth inning when Sarah Wagner walked and scored from first base on a dropped fly ball in the outfield.

The Chiefs tacked on two more in the seventh. Mattson had an RBI single, and Wagner walked with the bases loaded.

UNSTOPPABLE "I tried everything — change-up,

screwball, riseball, drops, fastballs, everything," North coach Dave Brubaker said. "I tried it all, and they just hit it all.

"They were on and we weren't that game. We hit the ball right at people. (North had the) bases loaded, and we didn't come through.

"It was one of those games they did everything right, and it seemed everything went wrong for us. But that's the game, and I'm all right with that."

While seniors Mattson (3-for-5), Leskovitz (3-for-4) and Sexauer were instrumental in the victory, Arnold marveled at the play of his younger players, too.

The Nos. 8 and 9 hitters, freshmen outfielders Paige Aresco and Kendyl Richter, both recently elevated from

Missed opportunities and a couple calls that didn't go their way cost the Canton Chiefs in Saturday's Division 1 baseball regional semifinal against Birmingham Brother Rice.

The Warriors avenged los-ing to Canton in the 2010 regionals with a 4-2 victory at Novi High School and advanced to the regional final against Novi-Detroit Catholic Central which the Shamrocks won, 7-4.

O h , sister! Soccer sibs get most out of rare opportunity

BY TIM SMITH

OBSERVER STAFF WRITER

Varsity soccer and siblings is a winning combination — something happily vouched for by the Babcocks and Kayes.

Although their respective high school sea-sons just ended, the experience of senior and freshman sisters being together on the same team won't ever be forgotten. That goes for the sisters and their soccer moms.

And two PCEP varsity girls soccer squads had the same sister-sister thing going on:

• Senior Jennifer Babcock, 18 and fresh-man sister Lauren, 14, teamed up with the Plymouth Wildcats.

• With the Salem Rocks were senior Victoria Kaye, 18 and freshman sister Olivia, 15.

In both households, there was something about varsity soccer somehow changing the family dynamic.

"Cleaning their room and fighting it out over clothes is one thing," Nora Kaye said. "But when you have an odd-man rush charg-ing your net, you better communicate effec-tively and figure things out quickly if you want to be successful."

"Sports transcends the drama of sisterhood. It equalizes the sibling rivalry factor."

TWICE AS NICE According to Shelly Babcock, this season

proved twice as gratifying and unforgettable, for obvious reasons.

"The first time they called the Plymouth lineup and I heard both their names called I was choked up. Shelly said. "During one game, Marissa (Williams) the goalie yelled, 'Jen, send it to your sister!' The parent section chuckled and I loved it."

BASEBALL REGIONALS

lamented the tough-luck loss, he praised his senior-laden ballclub (27-7) — winners of four straight districts.

"They have a lot to be proud of," Blomshield said. "Before they stepped foot on our campus. Canton hadn't won a district since 1989.

"A lot of those kids were part of four districts ... they won a lot of ballgames, they have nothing to be ashamed of."

Chiefs win big despite injury 9 BY TIM SMITH

OBSERVER STAFF WRITER

When Canton senior co-captain and starting second baseman Samantha Partain broke her left foot during Saturday's Division 1 softball regional semifinal, the Chiefs merely shuffled the deck and continued on their merry, win-ning way.

Canton head coach Jim Arnold moved starting right fielder Sarah Wagner to take over for Partain at second and all Wagner did was start a 4-6-3 double play to end the Chiefs' 8-0 victory over Birmingham Groves.

Wagner fielded the ball and calmly flipped it to senior shortstop CarolAnn Sexauer to

begin the double play. "We all practice in different

positions so I had complete confidence in her (Wagner)," Sexauer said. "Nothing felt out of whack or anything because we've been practicing like that, just in case something like that happens."

Partain — a .450 hitter — singled in Canton's sixth run in the fifth. She then sustained her injury trying to steal sec-ond base.

Although teammates hoped she would be OK to play the regional final against North Farmington, X-rays deter-mined the break.

The Chiefs were in total control of the opener, with junior pitcher Alyssa Boucher giving up just four hits while

tossing her second shutout of the year.

"It felt really good," Boucher said. "I just wanted to win for my seniors, we had our ban-quet the other day.

"So I just wanted to win for them, and having them back me up ... it just felt really good."

Canton jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first and never looked back.

Junior left fielder Jesse Lamer walked and scored on a double by Sexauer (4-for-4, three runs, three RBI).

Following up with her first of two run-scoring doubles was senior first baseman Kaitlyn Mattson.

The big blow of the game was senior center fielder

Lauren Leskovitz' three-run homer in the third to make it a 5-0 game.

Sexauer singled and Mattson and Leskovitz ripped a two-out liner down the left-field line.

The ball hit the foul pole and bounced back onto the field, Leskovitz stopped at second thinking it was a double.

"I saw it back on the field so I just kept running to third," Leskovitz said. "Then he was like 'Home run,' and I said Are you sure?'"

Wrapping up Canton's scor-ing was Sexauer's two-run home run to left-center in the seventh, plating Larner (who had walked).

REGIONAL FROM PAGE B1

the jayvee, hit back-to-back RBI doubles in the second inning. Sophomore catcher Catherine Porter was 2-for-4.

The winning pitcher was freshman Hanna Warren, who scattered five hits, struck out four and walked two in a com-plete game.

"We worked all week on low and outside, getting the screw-ball on the inside, trying to get them on the handle," Arnold said.

"She listened and did as we asked her to do. For a fresh-man to come out and pitch like that in a regional champion-ship game is pretty darn good."

Aside from two errors in the bottom of the third that led to North's only run, the Canton defense was outstanding, espe-cially the play of Sexauer. She made three putouts and had seven assists on 6-to-3 plays.

"(The Raiders) hit the ball real well; they bunt and play the short game," Arnold said. "We actually put in a defense for that just prior to this game.

"We call it a double-two where the shortstop and sec-ond baseman are up, and it worked out extremely well. We took it away from them."

CONFIDENT FEELING The early lead and good

defense helped to put Warren in a comfortable situation and allowed her to pitch with con-fidence.

"I knew my team could back me up," she said. "We're a very good infield team. Even when I'm down, they make me laugh and make sure I keep going and have to be tough. I was scared but I knew, by the third inning, we had it.

"Les' home run helped a lot; even our jayvee players helped us. (Sexauer) called me off a lot, and I needed that help after I overthrew the first one. She's spot-on and a great shortstop, and we're going to miss her next year."

Nikki Wald scored the lone North run on a single and a throwing error, a sacrifice and another miscue. The Raiders (34-4) committed five errors.

"That team I did not know," Brubaker said. "That's not our kind of game. No way!"

Makenzie Coulter started for North, worked two innings and faced the first three bat-ters in the third. Severson finished the game. The duo allowed six walks had five strikeouts.

INJURED SENIOR: Senior second baseman Samantha Partain suffered a broken foot and season-ending injury while sliding into a base in Canton's semifinal win over Groves.

Partain, a four-year starter for the Chiefs, stayed on the bench for the final game, how-

ever. She was unable to walk to

the third-base line for the medals and trophy presenta-tion. Coach Jim Arnold and another player helped her as she hopped on one foot to the chalk to be with her team-mates.

Partain sat in a chair for the awards ceremony. Afterward, her teammates gathered around her, making her the centerpiece for the post-game pictures.

Sophomore outfielder Sarah Wagner replaced Partain at second base. She was 0-for-2 in the final game, but she walked three times, scored two runs and had one RBI.

PITCHING COMBO: Junior Alyssa Boucher and freshman Hanna Warren have shared the pitching duties for the Chiefs this year.

Boucher pitched the semifi-nal game, and Warren was the intended starter for the final. Arnold had Boucher ready to go just in case she was needed.

"We have two different kinds of pitchers, two different kinds of speeds," he said. "If I had to, I could take (Warren) out and put the dropball pitcher in there."

A pitching change was unnecessary as Warren gave the Chiefs what they needed in the way of solid pitching, lim-iting the Raiders to five hits.

"I thought I did pretty well," Warren said. "They're

a very good hitting team. I had to pitch inside and get my change-up working. They could hit anything I threw at them, so I knew they had to be off balance. They had to be pitched inside."

In the bottom of the third. North had a run in and the bases loaded with two outs. The inning ended with a fly ball to shortstop CarolAnn Sexauer.

"There was only one time in the game I had talk to her," Arnold said. "That one inning she got a little nervous. Other than that, she started bearing down and throwing the ball.

"No, she didn't (have any reason to be nervous with an 8-0 lead) but she's a freshman. She's going to get better. If she keeps working hard, she'll be fine. We're happy to have her."

HUGE COMPLIMENT; Arnold told players at the start of the season: "Position by posi-tion, this is the best, most talented team we've had here at Canton. We just have to stay together.' That was the whole focus of this year."

That was high praise for the 2011 Chiefs, considering the great teams Canton had (and Arnold coached) in the early 1990s. The Chiefs were state finalists in 1992.

"We had three or four good ballplayers and an exceptional pitcher (Kelly Holmes)," Arnold said. "Position by position, this is the best team we've had."

But even the sisters couldn't help but get a charge out of hav-ing the unique opportunity to be varsity teammates, despite being three grades apart.

"We definitely bonded a lot more than if we would have been on two different teams," said Lauren Babcock, who played defense for the 'Cats. "We drove together to all the games with music blasting to get us pumped up and ready to play.

"Jennifer and I both wanted to be on the varsity teams together. I worked very hard to make the team and it has been one of my greatest soccer expe-riences so far."

According to Jennifer Babcock, a forward-midfielder and co-captain who was part of Plymouth's 2010 state final-ists, this season marked the first time she and Lauren were teammates — except for games played just for recreation.

"Being on the same team was very different because we have such an age gap," Jennifer said. "The only time we have played together in the past was for fun in pick-up games.

"(But) what better way to bond than to play the sport we both love together."

PUSHING EACH OTHER You'd get no argument from

the Kaye sisters, either. "Being on the same team

definitely helped Victoria and me bond more and become closer than we ever have before," said Olivia Kaye.

But the sisters, both defend-ers, helped each other out from a competitive standpoint, too.

To put it mildly, they used sibling rivalry as a motiva-tional tool.

"This year was my best year yet, and I believe it is because the two of us pushed each other every game and practice," emphasized Victoria Kaye, a Salem co-captain. "When she made an amazing play, I tried my best to make an even better one.

"That is what you need in a team, people to push you to work your best, and Olivia and 1 truly did that for each other, which I loved."

As for Olivia, having her older sister on the varsity helped her ease into the world of varsity athletics.

"Going onto a team full of older girls as a freshman was

scary at times," Olivia stressed. "And it helped a lot to know that Victoria was always there for me.

"She is an all-around amazing player and 1 enjoyed playing in the back with her. I think we both learned a lot from each other."

LESSONS LEARNED Rest assured, their moms

also got a lot out of the season. For one thing they could see the way the girls interacted away from the soccer field.

"Through competition and the excitement of playing on the same team," Nora Kaye said, 'Victoria and Olivia strengthened their relation-ship, had an opportunity to learn from one another, and built respect and trust."

"We talked about the games at dinner," Shelly Babcock added. "It was always nice to hear Jennifer say, Lauren, you played well today.' It warms my heart."

Indeed, those kinds of com-pliments were genuine.

Jennifer Babcock said seeing her sister improve with every practice and game was some-thing she was glad to have been a part of. That meant her own efforts to be a positive role model and mentor were paying off

"Me being a senior captain and her a freshman was more of a leading factor for me and a learn-ing factor for her," she explained. " I played my best for her and taught her everything I could.

"I pushed myself everyday to be better just knowing she was watching."

Lauren was doing just that. "She (Jennifer) really helped me become a better player. I'm going to miss her very much next year."

LIFELONG TRUST There is the same sentiment

with the Kayes. "Being on the same team as

my younger sister was such a different, but great, experience," Victoria said. "It was even better since we both play defense, and we know how each other play.

"She (Olivia) was my outside defender, and every game she made me feel very comfortable because I knew no one was getting past her."

That kind of trust between young teammates now will be carried over beyond the boundaries of a soccer field, for decades to come.

Their parents still will be cheering them on, albeit much more quietly. Of that you can rest assured.

QUARTERFINAL FROM PAGE B1

sailed over Heidi Lucke's head and Mattawan was on the scoreboard.

The second was uglier for the Chiefs, with an error, bases-loaded walk and wild pitch accounting for two more runs.

It could have been worse. With the bases loaded and the Wildcats looking for more, Sexauer ranged far to her right to snag a low liner that kept the score at 3-0.

Canton (36-7) settled down a bit, playing a good defensive inning in the fourth thanks to a diving force by Sexauer and a heads-up play by Canton junior right fielder Jesse Larner. The latter stopped a rally by fielding a would-be single and throwing out Emily McCarty at first.

Canton's offense, mean-while, could not get untracked against Gevaart.

The only well-struck balls by the Chiefs were Porter's sharp single to center and a smash off the bat of senior first base-man Kaitlyn Mattson in the fourth that bounced off the shortstop and was ruled an

error. Mattawan then scored four

times in the fifth inning and five in the sixth to complete the rout and earn a trip to Battle Creek's Bailey Park for Friday's Dl semifinal. It marks the first time in school history that Mattawan goes that far into the postseason.

Junior catcher Loren Nagy and Gevaart clubbed back-to-back homers against Warren to end her day in the circle.

Nagy's was a liner over the fence in the left-field corner, while Gevaart golfed a low pitch high far over the fence in center.

'Usually it's us getting those long balls," Arnold said.

Junior pitcher Alyssa Boucher took over at that point, but the Wildcats kept on ripping the ball.

In the sixth, Nagy (3-for-4, two runs, three RBI) homered again to make it a 9-0 game and McBride singled in two more.

Mattawan head coach Alicia Smith said the way her team played against Canton fol-lowed the season's script.

"We're just very prepared and our eyes are set on the goal," Smith said. "They've been preparing for this all week. They knew it was a killer

game. "They did everything we

asked them to do, come out hitting, put pressure on them by scoring first."

NO STORYBOOK ENDING Watching helplessly from

the sidelines was Canton senior second baseman Samantha Partain, who sustained a broken left foot against Birmingham Groves in the regionals.

Playing well in her place at second was sophomore Sarah Wagner.

"1 worked four years to make it this far and not being able to play, it crushed me," said Partain, a co-captain who hit in the .450 range. "I had so much fun with all these girls, they're my best friends. It was just a fun experience alto-gether."

But Partain said the injury-made it more challenging to walk across the stage dur-ing Sunday"s graduation at Eastern Michigan University.

"It was a little rough, Partain said with a smile. "Thankfully they had ramps for you to walk up, but it was all right. I was the only girl on crutches, but it's fine.

BASEBALL FROM PAGE B1

Bob Riker said his team didn'l necessarily have any extra incentive to beat Canton just because the Chiefs ousted the Warriors in 2010.

"Half of these guys didn't play against Canton lasL year," he said.

UNLUCKY CALLS The Chiefs also were very

close to winning the regionals a second straight season, but it wasn't to be.

Canton starting pitcher Mike Stafford and Brother Rice start-er Nick Linnen were hooked up in a scoreless game until the top of the third. The Warriors loaded the bases with two outs when Linnen hil a hard smash down to Chiefs first baseman Robby Golematis.

Linnen scampered down the base line while Stafford hur-ried over to take the flip from Golematis.

It appeared that Stafford applied a tag to Linnen's chest before the Warrior could touch first, but Linnen was ruled safe — allowing freshman Sammy Stevens (who led off with a double) to score the game's first run.

Canton appeared to tie the game in the bottom of the fourth on what would have been a sacrifice fly by Stafford (who suffered a tough-luck loss, having given up just one run).

With one out, junior Ryan Bazner reached on an error and courtesy runner James Hall moved to third on a double down the left-field line by senior shortstop Chris Perkovich.

Stafford then lofted a fly ball to right field that Brother Rice junior Will Schwartz caught. Schwartz threw a one-hop laser to Warriors' senior catcher Jimmy Pickens, who blocked the plate and tagged out Hall for the inning-ending double play.

But it was a bang-bang play that also could have gone in Canton's favor, especially since it looked to some as though Pickens tagged the runner with an empty glove.

"In any game, when you get

to the regionals,... you are always going to get a break here or there or you're not going to get a break here or there," Riker said. "It's one of these things you can't worry about those things you can't control, you just got to keep playing the game."

BATTLING TO THE END Somewhat demoralized, the

Chiefs went down in order in the fifth and sixth against Brother Rice fireballing senior reliever Andrew Sohn.

Meanwhile, the Warriors padded their lead to 4-0 in the sixth on a pinch hit homer by freshman Bobby Cross off Canton reliever Vaughn Birchler.

Cross smacked a towering drive over the fence in left.

His round-tripper drove in Tommy Lentz (a courtesy runner for Stevens, who col-lected his third hit of the game) and Sohn, who reached when Canton left fielder Mark Main could not hang on to a low liner after making a valiant effort.

"He's been swinging the bat the last three or four weeks about as good as anybody in batting practice," Riker said. "And it was just an opportu-nity for him."

But true to form, the Chiefs — with the end of stellar careers of several longtime

Canton players hanging in the balance (namely catcher Seth Tschetter, Braden Price, Perkovich, Main, Bernabe Salinas and Garrett Bryden) — scratched out a couple runs in their last at-bat to at least go out fighting.

Bazner and Perkovich singled and both moved up on a groundout. After Tschetter walked to load the bases, a wild throw on a potential game-ending double play brought home both Bazner and Perkovich.

But that's where the rally stopped and the Warriors pre-vailed.

"It's tough, it seemed like everything was going against us," Perkovich said. "Everything we were hitting were just line drives and they were catching them all. Mark Main hit a great shot down the line (an excellent catch by left fielder Travis Ferguson)

"And that play at home plate where they got the runner at home plate, if we would have got that that would have been a game changer right there. We were just inches away from winning that game."

Earning the win was Linnen, who escaped an early jam in the first that could have changed the flavor of the ball-game.

Canton senior leadoff bat-

ter Price stroked a line-drive double over the center fielder's head. But Bryden missed on an attempted sacrifice bunt and Pickens threw down to second to nail Price, who had strayed a bit too far toward third base.

"That's been a problem for us," Blomshield said. "We've been getting picked off left and right. We've just got to make better choices than that."

CHANGING OF THE GUARD After the game, both

Perkovich and Tschetter talk-ed about how tough the loss was to close out their Canton careers.

"It stings a little more," Perkovich said. "It's the last game I'm ever going to play in a Canton Chiefs uniform.

"It's hard to leave my family and my team here at Canton."

Concurring was Tschetter, the starting catcher for much of the 2008-11 run that garnered Blomshield 102 victories.

"It was a privilege being with all those guys," said Tschetter, adding that the suc-cessful program the Class of 2011 helped build should keep on rolling. "I think they'll win another district, they've got a lot of good talent coming in and they already got the pitch-ing staff"

Livonia Ladywood's S o f t b a l l

team is breaking out the Rice Krispie TYeats once again.

And that means the Blazers are headed back to Battle Creek for the second time in three years following a con-vincing 6-0 Division 2 quar-terfinal victory IXiesday over Armada in a game played at Novi.

The Blazers, 37-3 overall, advance to the Final Four to face defending state champ Stevensville Lakeshore in a matchup of the No. 1- and 2-ranked teams beginning at 3:30 p.m. Friday at Battle Creek's Bailey Park.

Two years ago Ladywood rode the right-handed arm of freshman Briana Combs all the way to state championship game before losing to Niles.

Combs is now a seasoned junior and she continued her

Justin Verlander-like stretch by throwing her third straight perfect game.

She's now retired 54 straight batters without any reach-ing base going back to last Saturday's regional.

"She's worked real hard and I got to say it: She's the best conditioned athlete probably in the state," said proud father and Ladywood coach Scott Combs. "I've never seen any-body in all my years work as hard as that to be conditioned to throw seven or 14 innings. And that's what you need. As you get tired - the last 10 pitches that you throw flatten out - you can't have that. It's all conditioning and it's con-centration. And that's what we work on every day in practice."

Briana Combs struck out nine of the minimum 21 bat-ters she faced against Armada, which reached the Final Four last year and finished 25-7 this season.

Tourney winners The 12U Canton Storm baseball team recently won the Pmckney Pirate Classic with an 8-7 win over the Pinckney Pirates Red in the title game on June 6. The Storm includes (front row, from left) Josh Janovsky, Nick Sprosek, Erich Payne, Josh Rubis, Jake O'Donnell and Justin Raylean; (middle row, from left) Chase Timko, Jake Dattilio, Matt Brooks. Noah Haran, Matt Lessel and Robert Barnes; (back row, from left) assistant coach Scott Payne, head coach Rob Brooks, assistant coach Keith Rubis and assistant coach Steve Barnes.

Church summer event offers family fun, food, worship

Memorial Church of Christ plans several family activities in lieu of a traditional Vacation Bible School this year.

"Hopefully we can get peo-ple interested to come out for a free night to have fun together and make a connection with others," said Angie Schultz, event coordinator.

The series of four "Family Experience" events will start with Family Fun Night, 6-8 p.m. Friday, June 17, in the

gym at the church, located at 35475 Five Mile, just east of Levan, Livonia. The free pro-gram will include a cook-out dinner, drama performances, giveaways, a worship service and families activities.

"We wanted to try a more relevant way to reach the families in our commu-nity," said Schultz. "It can be expensive for a family to go out for an evening together. We wanted to create an envi-

ronment where they could come and have fun as a fam-ily for free. We are also creat-ing an environment where parents can see what their children are learning and walk away with tools to help them apply what they learned at home."

Free supervised child care will be available for children, ages 2 and under. No advance registration is required.

Round Trip: Plymouth musician sings about his life, wife, and hometown on new CD BY SHARON DARGAY

O S E STAFF WRITER

Its easy to see why Paul Warren titled his third album Round Trip.

The autobiographical songs on the CD describe a life that has gone full circle.

"It has several meanings. One, I fly all the time so I'm always round-trip-ping," said Warren, a guitarist and songwriter who has toured with Rod Stewart since 1999- "And it's coming back to my roots."

Although he performs his own music at clubs and jam nights when he's not on tour or in the studio with Stewart, the Plymouth native says he didn't intend to produce another CD. But moving from California back to his hometown in 2008 after 25 years on the West Coast, got creative juices flowing.

"Everything just felt like a fresh start. I was relatively newly married and sud-denly there was a new group of musi-cians I had never worked with before. 1 got real inspired just being back here in Plymouth. Being in the Detroit area brought back a lot of memories."

Motown one of the songs on the CD, pays homage to the city and its music with such lyrics as "We would go to the Grande, So we could listen to the MC5, California had peace and love. But we were keeping Rock n Roll alive." She Can't Go Home was inspired by his wife, Melanie, who left New Zealand to live with him in California. And Back Where I Belong references Warren's journey back to his Michigan roots.

"There's something personal about all of them. There are some that are tongue in cheek, but that's part of who I am, too. I feel like I put mvself into this record."

WARREN FROM PAGE B5

fortunate. I still put a guitar around my neck and someone pays me to do it. I couldn't ask for more."

Warren said he fell in love with music as soon as he could think. He was the kid on the kindergarten bus crooning to the other kids. In third grade he gathered his first a capella group together. He beat card-board "drums" with coat hanger sticks and begged his mom for a real drum set. Instead, she gave him a guitar when he was 12.

He won a talent show in junior high at 13 and started playing at basement parties and at school dances. He performed at the Plymouth Fall Festival when he was 14 and a year later joined a band that opened for groups such as TYaffic and Jethro "Rill at the Eastown Theatre in Detroit and the Birmingham Palladium.

"I was 15 when I opened for Rod (Stewart) and the band, the Faces. I've never been star struck. I have people I've admired — and Rod was one of them — but I was never afraid of anyone. The night we opened for him he was talking to some girl after the show and I went up behind him and poked him in the back and introduced myself," Warren recalled. "I didn't look at people as my idols. I was one of their peers. I've worked with rock and roll royalty and I always felt I as on the same level musically."

O N A M I S S I O N The ambitious and confident

teenager, who dropped out of high school at 16, often would "show up places" with his guitar and talk band members into listening. That's how he earned his first overseas tour with a band called the Pacific Gas and Electric. He told the group's bass player that he was better than the band's guitarist and talked the group into letting him play the last song in their second show in Detroit.

"Three days later they called me," he said, adding that the band toured both North America and Europe.

GET OUT!

Paul Warren of Plymouth, singer, songwriter and guitarist, will release his third album Saturday, June 17 at Callahansin Auburn Hills.

He was playing a club called Jimmy's Lounge when Motown Records bassist Bob Babbitt heard him and suggested recording a few of his songs. The recording eventually caught Norman Whitfield's atten-tion and the Motown producer hired Warren for studio work at Hitsville.

"Suddenly I was doing every record and every jingle. Anything in Detroit I was on it. It really opened things up for me."

Over the years he has played on albums by The Temptations, Gladys Knight and the Pips, The Undisputed TYuth, Rare • Earth, Parliament Funkadelic, and Jefferson Starship, to name a few. He has written songs for his own bands and for other artists and has toured with Joe Cocker, The Ventures, Tina "Rimer, and others in addition to Stewart. He even played with the late operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti.

"That was a bit surreal. I remember thinking How did a farm boy from Michigan end up backing up Pavarotti?'" said Warren, who lived in both rural Canton and in Plymouth as a boy. "This is a really interesting job that takes me to some really interesting places and some really interesting situations."

TOP 5 TIPS FOR PERFECT GRILLING

1. Clean and pre-heat your qrill on high.

2. Lightly oil and season food before you

put it on the grill. This helps the searing

process and prevents sticking.

3. Sear the outside of steaks when grilling,

using tongs or a spatula to turn the meat.

Cover the grill as much as possible dur-

ing the grilling process to help lock in the

great flavor and to prevent flare-ups.

4. Use the 60/40 grilling method. Grill for

60 percent of the time on the first side,

then gril l 40 percent of the time after you

turn over the food. This will give you an

evenly cooked product.

5. Place your cooked food on a clean plate

and allow to rest for five minutes before

serving to retain moisture and juiciness.

1. In a small mixing bowl, add minced shii-take mushrooms and Worcestershire sauce, mixing well until liquid is all soaked up by dried mushrooms. Add butter, garlic, salt and pepper to mushroom mixture. Mix well until smooth.

2. Place the butter mixture in the middle of a large piece of plastic wrap. Form into a log and wrap tightly. Store butter in the refrigera-tor; it will keep for several weeks.

3. To use, unwrap butter and cut into coin shaped slices.

COUNT STRIP LOIN WITH PARMESAN CRUSTED CROWN Serves 4

\ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

'A cup aged Parmesan cheese, finely grated

tard, using your hands. 3. Sprinkle both sides of steaks with salt and

black pepper. 4. Sprinkle both sides of steaks with 1 table-

spoon grated Parmesan cheese and pat down well to ensure it sticks.

5. Sprinkle both sides of steaks with tea-spoon parsley.

6. Steaks can be grilled, broiled or pan-sau-teed in a non-stick pan to desired doneness.

Tip: Steaks may be prepared one day ahead of time and stored in refrigerator until ready to cook.

Know your rights when hiring moving company m\m Following a few simple rules

when selecting a mover will go a long way toward protecting yourself from being victimized by scams this summer, accord-ing to Better Business Bureau and the American Moving & Storage Association. Chief among them; make sure you know who you're hiring and know your rights.

May was National Moving Month, the start of the busiest time of the year for changing residences. More than 37 mil-lion Americans — or about 13 percent — move to a different home every year, according4o the latest U.S. Census Bureau statistics.

Every year, however, both BBB and AMSA receive com-plaints from consumers who have fallen prey to dishonest and often unlicensed moving companies. BBB received more than 8,900 complaints against movers in 2010 — a 5 percent increase over the previous year — primarily about damaged or lost goods and final prices in excess of original estimates. In a too-frequent worst-case scenario, the moving company holds the customer s belongings "hostage" and requires poten-tially thousands of dollars to unload the van.

One particularly-egregious complaint last year involved a consumer who hired a moving company found on Craigslist. A-l-A Jay's Way Moving quoted a reasonable price of $80 per hour. It wasn't until they arrived at the new apartment that A-l-A Jay's Way Moving upped the price to $800 — practically doubling the quoted price. Demanding the pay-ment in cash, A-l-A Jay's Way Moving refused to unload the belongings and threatened that the furniture would be taken to storage, leaving the consumer no choice but to pay the drastic differ-ence in price.

BBB discovered that the company did not have its required licensing as a household mover with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). A-l-A Jay's Way Moving did not respond to the complaint.

"Because anyone with a truck and a website can claim to be a mover, our industry is plagued by con artists who don't adhere to standards for honesty and ethical conduct," said AMSA President and CEO Linda Bauer Darr. "When it comes to such an impor-tant decision, you can prevent a lot of headaches by checking on a ,com-pany in advance to identify which put

customer service and integrity first. For interstate moves, that means an AMSA-certified ProMover."

"Checking a mover's credentials is critical and easy. Last year alone, con-sumers relied on BBB more than one million times for finding a trustwor-thy mover," said Melanie Duquesnel, president and CEO of Better Business Bureau Serving Eastern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. "When mak-ing the final choice, go with a BBB Accredited Businesses or, at the very least, choose a business that has a good rating with BBB."

BBB and AMSA offer the following checklist for finding a trustworthy moving company:

•Research the company thoroughly. While state regulations vary, all inter-state movers must, at minimum, be licensed by the federal government and are assigned a motor carrier number you can verify on FMCSA's website, www.protectyourmove.gov. Also check the company's rating with your BBB, which maintains more than 17,000 Business Reviews on movers across North America. Having at least a satisfactory BBB rating is one of seven screenings AMSA relies on when authorizing its interstate mover mem-bers to display the ProMover logo, the sign of a quality, professional mover which has pledged to abide by the organization's Code of Ethics.

•Get at least three written in-home estimates. No legitimate mover will offer to give you a firm price online or over the phone. Also keep in mind that the lowest estimate can sometimes be an unrealistic low-ball offer which can cost you more in the end.

•Know your rights. Research your rights as a consumer with either FMCSA for interstate moves or the state in which you reside for moves

within that state. Also, enlist the help of BBB or local law enforcement if the moving company fails to live up to its promises or threatens to hold your belongings hostage. FMCSA requires interstate movers to offer arbitration to help settle disputed claims.

•Consider getting full value protec-tion. It may cost a few dollars more up front, but it can provide some peace of mind and eliminate a headache after your move. Investing in full (replace-ment) value protection means any lost or damaged articles will be repaired or replaced, or a cash settlement will be made to repair the item or to replace it at its current market value, regard-less of age. It's important to note that the required minimum coverage of 60 cents per pound would not cover the replacement cost, for example, of a flat panel TV if damaged in t ransi t

Keep business dealings

on up and up

0: Our managing agent f inal ly admi t ted upon Inquiry that our a t to rney has done work for him on a personal basis and never disclosed that to the board unti l specific questions were asked. The agent vehement ly

stands behind our a t torney as someone who can do a good Job. What do you think?

A : Tha t may well

Robert Meisner ^ case, — — — — but the

managing agent should disclose any relat ionships of a business or personal nature with any persons with whom the association does business including this attorney. Query whether if there is a problem between the association managing agent and the at torney tha t the a t torney will be willing to pursue the managing agent on behalf of the association or, for tha t mat ter , even "spill the beans" on the managing agent because of their relat ionship. Perhaps you need a new a t torney and new management company.

0: The president of our association has been charged with a felony. It occurred In the parking lot of our condominium. The vict im Is a member of our community and has signed an Intent to prosecute. We have also had other problems with the president as far as confl ict of In terest , Improper bids, and other cr iminal charges current ly on f i le . Can our community and/or board be sued for his act ions, and, If the v ict im is awarded damages and medical costs, can the members' proper ty be a t tached for payment?

A; This is, of course, a diff icul t quest ion which is very fact intensive, but if the other directors were aware of the president 's problems and they did nothing, then they may be a par t of the problem and potential ly liable.

In a sense, responsibil i ty could also be placed on the members in tha t they elected him as a director. However, whether they have personal liability as members is another mat ter . Since the other d i rec tors elected him as president and did not control the si tuation, they could become liable. In any event, you are best advised to consult with your a t torney and your insurance carr ier as soon as possible.

He also wrote Condo Living; A Survival Guide to Buying. Owning and Selling a Condominium, available for $24 95 plus $5 shipping and handling.

Fun By The Numbers

Like puzzles? Then you'll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku s a w y to the testl

Level Beginner

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 gnd, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
