Township seeks new developer for ice arena

SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS

O I MM Home Town ('mmui itsUoiu Network, lot

B Y SCOTT D A N I E L S T A F F WBITKH sdaniel@oe.homecomm.net

Canton is back to square one in its search for an ice arena developer/oper-ator.

Owners of P lymouth-based Arctic Pond recently pulled out as the leading candidate to run a township facility at Canton Softbal l Cen te r . Supervisor Tom Yack expects t h e project to go back out for bid by Friday.

"We've got to get cracking if we're going to have the a rena u p for next Sep tember , " he sa id . "We've got to know who these people are."

Potent ia l developer /operators will have 30 days to bid on the project. The township will then narrow the* field and make a decision some t ime this fall, said Yack.

If all goes aB planned, construction would begin next spring, be added.

"It's not a real complicated facility (to design and build)," said Yack. "You can move from a signed agreement to the planning commission quickly."

The township had been negotiating with owners of the Arctic Pond since late May.

Food and beverage rights became a s t icking point early in ta lks . Arctic Pond owners wanted the right to put a r e s t au ran t and/or concessions in the arena.

The township was unwilling to grant those rights, however. Diamonds Bar and Grill has exclusive food and bever-age rights at the softball center.

"We couldn't violate tha t agreement," said Yack.

Arctic Pond o w n e r s a l so w a n t e d financial help in building the arena, he said. Canton's response was a firm no, Yack said.

"That came as a big surpr i se , " he said of Arctic's financial help requests. "We t h o u g h t the only o u t s t a n d i n g issue was the restaurant.

"We were not a willing partner." In a letter to Canton Municipal Ser-

vices Director Aaron Machnik date July 19, Arctic Pond Vice President of Operations John Stansik said the deal didn't make financial sense to his com-pany.

"We are disappointed that we cannot

Agin ian a n n o u n c e d t h a t by mutual agreement Steve Pope has left his position as OAE Oeneral Manager to seek other opportunities.

see the economic feasibility of the pro-posal the way it is structured ^t this point," he wrote.

Stansik declined further comment on the negotiations Friday.

Financial viability will be the key in select ing a new developer/operator , said Yack.

"You don't w a n t to ta lk to people that can't get it done," he added.

The project, which will be located on seven acres at the softball center, will cost be tween $6 and $8 mi l l ion to build.

Besides financial strength, the new operator must also be willing to grant access to i t s fac i l i ty to the Canton Hockey Associa t ion and inc lude at least two ice rinks in the development.

The failed talks with Arctic Pond is the latest chapter in what has become a long, hard effort to get an ice arena built in Canton.

Griffin Properties has helped Canton develop ice and soccer arenas as well as a golf dome at the softball center on Michigan Avenue east of Beck Road.

T r u s t e e s approved a $'25 million agreement between the township and Scott Griffin in early March.

It included moving the project, which was to have been at Michigan and Haggerty roadn, and scaling it down from Gri f f in ' s or iginal $100 million "Sportstown USA" concept. Tha t plan emerged more than a year ago.

In r e t u r n j Griff in got the r ight to purchase a 19.4 acre parcel on Hagger-ty. The parcel will likely be used for research and office development.

But the deal was cont ingent upon Griffin supplying a suitable ice arena operator by late May.

Yack said Griffin has lived up to his end of the deal. Griffin will not play a role in selecting a new ice arena devel-oper/operator, he added.

It is both the best and worst of times at the Golden Gate Shopping Center It's all a matter of perspective.

A January snowstorm that collapsed the roof over the southern half of the center forced almost a dozen business to close or relocate For most business-es tha t stayed, traffic has been slow, real slow

The center is on Lilley just south of Joy Road across from Mettetal Air port.

T h i r t y percent of business has been down since the collapse." said Gary Patel, manager of Discount Beverage "The main draw was Bob's of Canton

Bob's, a large meat and produce mar-ket and the center's anchor store, has s ince relocated to Wes t land on the northeast corner of Warren and Mern-man

"After Bob's left, and the big places closed, business has really cut down," he said "Most people think the whole place is closed. Sometimes the\ call to see if we're still open "

Brendel paused and then said. "And Ted does such good work Everybody likes him."

Nick Tufenkjian, the center's owner. "We're going to make it back to what it was, a com-plete family service center*

Tufenkjian was at the center consulting wrth his contractors the day a reporter visit-ed Most of the structural work on the roof sttoold be completed by Friday, said his car-penter, Gene Brown

"Brown, who lives in Plymouth, said the repair project was delayed two and a half months due to an order of faulty trusses that didnt meet Canton's building code for snow load.

Construction crews installed 8,000 square feet before they realised the trusses were not strong enough. Twenty thousand square feet needed to be replaced.

N E E D A I R

Tufenk j i an said the delay cost him $150,000. "But if he didnt take the trusses out immediately, we would be stuck with a bigger problem.*

Brown said the roof collapse resulted when the original trusses, constructed of a chemi-cally treated fire-retardant lumber, dried out and became brittle. The chemical, which was commonly used 15 years ago, "eats up mois-ture," he added.

Tufenl(jian provided a preview of new businesses, most of which ^ r e still being negotiated. He said another bakery, jewelry store and hair salon are likely tenants, and he hopes the former Basket Kreations loca-tion becomes a family restaurant.

He also offered a teaser to teens: The long-

empty Pogo's, s sports bar and grill, might become a "very classy,- wholesome teen nightclub."

The Canton Coney Island is coming back, and sure bet far a new business is Acclaim Limousine Services. Three white, stretch lipios already are parked behind the mall.

Tufenkjian plans to have a grand opening as cen te r fills with new bus inesses in September.

Meanwhile, those tenants who remained are simply waiting for customers. It's been lonely.

I t ' s kind of like a ghost town," said John Brendel.

Wonderland Mall shows new vitality B Y M A T T J A C H M A N S T A F F W R I T E R

mjachman@oe.homecomm.net

Wonderland Mall, the shop-ping destination in western Wayne County in i ts early years, has taken on a new role as the leader in the redevelop-ment of Plymouth Road.

And with new stores, a new look and an active, energetic new manager, the 40-year-old mall is s ta r t ing to reap the rewards of its own redevelop-ment , shoppers and local observers say.

"We're very, very pleased to see it improve or change, because for a long time there it seemed to be going backward, you know," said Star. Ander-son, who lives about a half-mile from Wonderland and is a member of the Plymouth Road Development Authori ty . "Stores were moving out and the number of shoppers was declining."

"It was kind of going down," said Violet Janowski of West-land. who has shopped at Won-der land regular ly since it opened in 1959 "It was seedy "

'It 's beau t i fu l ' Many say there's a new atti-

tude toward the aging shop-ping center and i t ' s been sparked by a number of changes: A steady campaign of improvements by mall owners Schostak Bros. & Co.; major renovations at anchor stores Target and Montgomery Ward; this week's opening of the Old Navy store; and ef for ts to make the mall available to bus inesses and community groups.

Shoppers, even those who probably wouldn't be drawn by the youth appeal of many mall newcomers, welcome the new stores and the revamped food court and say the mall is noticeably cleaner

"I think it's wonderful It's beautiful," said Shern Reed of Detroit, who said she visits Wonderland three t imes a month or more and has bpen shopping there for about 30 years

Reed said she's seen steady-improvements since the mall was enclosed, which took place in the mid-1980s

"I think it's a big lift." for Plymouth Road's commercial corridor, said Marvann Huhta of Redford Township "1 think it looks great "

Wonderland stores continue to offer goods at prices that are reasonable for middle-income people, said F.ster Labbe of Livonia

"It's good fof people t« find a place they can shr»p at" afford-ably. said Labbe. who, lik<-Janowski. has been visiting Wonderland since the begin-ning

Upscale t r end That affordability. combined

with a brighter, more polished atmosphere, is one of the keys to a Wonderland comeback, said Reinhard Lemke. mall manager since December

"We do not want to be A Somerset Collection here but we do want t<i be^o t less the quality.* sajjMs^mk* a native

tf^vTin clapped, accent English

Wonderland's new look, and new'attitude, contradicts the image that only dumps offer reasonably priced goods, Lemke said. The trend now is for stores with moderate prices to adopt an appealing, upscale look, he said.

Community involvement in the mall, Lemke said, is anoth-er key to its success. Wonder-land has invited businesses and local groups to use its community room, booked local performers to entertain stop-pers and even reached out to the Livonia Symphony Orches-tra. scheduling an LSO fund-raising concert tJiere for Sun-day, Oct. 3. Last fall, af ter Livonia Mall dropped plans for the city's a n n u a l holiday parade. Wonderland hosted the event after a march down Plymouth Road

"Whatever we do should tie in with the community." Lemke said.

Officers ride for local charity BY SCOTT NEINAS S T A F F W R I T E R

What has at least 40 legs. 20 heads and ndes on 50 wheels?

The'Canton Police Department's Charity Bike Ride.

OK, it's a bad joke - but the event, unlike the riddle, will make hundreds of kids smile.

At least 20 police officers from around the state will pedal 32 miles in a round-trip cor. voy from Canton to the Ronald McDonald House of Ann Arbor, the event's beneficiary.

Officer Ed Lang of the Canton Police Department is organizing the effort and plans on making it an annual occasion.

"It's for the kids ... I really enjoy doing things for them." Lang said "I focus a lot of attention on them in my job. that's my moti-vation for doing this."

The Ronald McDonald House, situated »n the shadow of the University of Michigan Medical Center, houses families whose chil-dren are being treated at the hospital.

Executive Director Dave McDowell said the money will go directly to the house s operating budget, adding that it costs $35-40 to put a family up for one night.

Guests pay whatever they can afford, a maximum $8 per night, to stay at the facili-ty-

McDowell said the house accommodates up to 29 families at a time

"We never turn a family away if they're unable to pay," he added.

The sundry assembly of bicycle patrol offi-cers will meet Aug. 14 at Heritage Park behind the Canton Police Department and will depart a t lCfa.m.

The bikers will be led by a motorcycle unit in front and a patrol car will flank the pro-cession's rear as they make the trek down Canton Center road to Geddes Road.

The caravan will then turn right and head west to Ann Arbor. The house is situated in the shadow of the University of Michigan Medical Center.

Once there the riders will lunch on hot dogs, hamburgers and beans donated by Foodland

After a tour of the Ronald McDonald House, the officers will go a block over to Mott Children's hospital and spend some time with the kids

"Well give out police badges and coloring books, that sort of thing," Lang said

Along with more than a dozen Canton cops, Lang recruited bike patrols from Flint, Adrian, Oakland Community College and the University of Michigan.

Each department's team is being asked to obtain a sponsor that will donate a minimum of $500 to the charity. The sponsor can be an individual, a business, or a team's depart-ment or city.

Planet Cycle Bike Shop of Canton has already signed on as a sponsor.

The store and TREK are donating a Trek 6000 bike to the team who raises the most money.

Staff will also be present for maintenance checks and emergency repairs on the bikes, if needed. -•

McDonald's will provide coffee and juie* for breakfast, and will supply the bikers with its own new brand of bottled water for the ride.

Ronald McDonald Houses are celebrating their 25th anniversary of existence. Ther« a re more than 200 centers worldwide, including 140 in the United States.

Detroit and Grand Rapids are the other Michigan sites. A fourth house is unde{ construction now in Lansing. *

'Very dynamic person ' Changes at Wonderland

were long under way before he was hired, but many credit Lemke's enthusiasm for much of the turnaround

Livonia Police Chief Pete Kunst illustrates I^emke's get-it-done attitude with an anec-dote About two days after he passed along to Lemke a senior citizen's concern about a restroom light switch - the man wanted a key-operated switch so the lights couldn't be turned off by just anyone - the job was done.

"He really strikes me as a manager whose heart is really in providing a nice "service to people." Kunst said

"He's just a positive, ener-getic. very dynamic person, and I don't th ink Livonia's seen anybody Hke him," said Gary Bewersdorf. the owner of Livonia Gold & Silver, a mall tenant since 1984

grown fairly rapidly, 700,00 to 1 million square feet of non-resi-dential building a year. Howev-er, residential building - 1,000 units per year for the last five yea r s - has claimed f a r more land, said Goulet.

"When you build 1,000 homes at 2,000 square feet each, it's hard to maintain that balance.

Wes tward expans ion under the township's master plan for

land use is not "leapfrog" devel-opment or sprawl, said Goulet. Tempered by ordinances and zoning laws, it's logical exten-sion.

"To me, sprawl really says you have growth out of control in areas you haven't planned for. Rapid growth does not mean you have sprawl."

Jeff Goulet —Canton Community Planner

at the University of Michigan, sa id "the biggest problem is when logical deve lopment is urban sprawl, when it becomes one and the same."

One way to contain, and even enhance, development is through zoning and o r d i n a n c e s t h a t res t r ic t lot sizes and requi re higher density, said Inam. Build-ing 2,500-square-foot homes on one- and two-acre lots eats up land.

Canton's green acres are being saved by requiring higher densi-ty, said Goulet. For example, the township's planning division is consider ing a zoning change along Lotz Road north and south of Palmer from three homes an acre to four homes an acre.

The ideal Areas of mixed-use zoning,

allowing for commercia l and higher density residential devel-opment , is a way to control sprawl , said Inam. People 'shouldn't have to drive for 15 minutes to get a carton of milk: they should be able to walk to a store.

But t h i s p r e s e n t s i ts own quandary for today's suburban

society, he added. "They want to be able to walk (to conve-niences), but they don't want to have the i r ne ighbors close. Guess what? You can ' t have both"

Cities should provide incen-tives for good development, said Inam, such as lowering taxes for developers who create walkable communities.

Canton may have such a proto-type in the proposed Cherry Hill Village, a 600-acre development of homes and businesses planned for an area centered nerfr Cherry Hill between Denton and Napier.

"Cherry Hill is intended to be built the way communities were built before subdivisions," said Goulet.

The development will have regular street patterns, a com-mons, park areas surrounded by homes, possible alleyways, and a commercial core. Buyers will choose from five or six housing styles on a variety of lot sizes.

Goulet said the township does-n't want to repeat their mistakes of the 1970s, the era of "planned uni t development ," where a developer proposed a m a s t e r plan for residential and commer-cial building within a specific area.

"It resulted in a proliferation of commercial on every corner " r

Potential buyers can avoid sur-prises by looking at the town-ship's master plan for land use in Goulet 's office at township hall

"Just like people who buy next to vacant commercial property then complain when a shopping center comes in."

LAND USE

sometimes singly but often in pairs.

"My wife and I will throw apples to them," he says.

Leasure knows the lifestyle he sough t in sou thwes t Canton when he moved from Wayne last year will soon change. At their r egu la r meet ing July 27, the Can ton Board of T r u s t e e s approved the rezoning of almost 200 acres surrounding Leasure's proper ty from agricul tural to residential.

It's just a matter of time. Some would say Leasu re

should have known development was coming. New subdivisions sprouting museum-size colonials have been pushing"thei r way s o u t h w a r d and westward for years in Canton. Farmers who sell their land are-no longer con sidered traitors to the land

"When I f i r s t moved here I not iced a sign t h a t said 100 acres for sale. I had eo idea I'd be surrounded. I didn't know it would be a subdivision. Nobody wants to farm any more."

Leasure, who works "all the s h i f t s nobody else wants" at Ford's truck plant in Wayne, ha.-, never farmed. He doesn't even have a garden. He does, howev er, let a farmer use some of*his property beyond the fence.

"Of course, this is going to be his last year."

L e a s u r e worr ies about the changes development will bring Will he be forced to hook up to new gewer lines? Will the ease m'ents intrude into his property ' Will they widen Geddes Road17

When Leasure received notice of the rezoning, he decided to wr i t e t he Canton Township Planning Commission a letter He wrote about the vanishing f a r m l a n d , the deer and the peacefulness. He asked them to recons ide r t he rezoning He asked for much, but was willing to settle for a lot less.

"If nothing else, please save the mature tree lines surround-ing these areas. There is a nice creek at the tree line behind m\ p rope r ty , and it would be a shame to fill this in and have m a t u r e t r ee s removed," h«-wrote.

But what if the trees are not to be spared? Leasure doesn't know if he will fight the developers "1 don't know how, really." he says

Leasure said he and his wife. Kathy, have no intention of sell ing. They love their comfortable ranch home with its large patio and s p r i n k l i n g of apple and black walnut trees. They love the i r view of the trees in th«-back and the cornfields in front

And they like having just one next-door neighbor

"We're extremely private right now. It's nice and peaceful."

Ameritech opened a regional specialized billing center in Red-ford Wednesday with a promise of more jobs for area residents and improved customer service in the fight against telephone slamming.

That facility, north of 1-96 and west of Telegraph at 24551 Aca-cia, will hire 70-new customer service representatives to join a staff of 150 to help Ameritech's 13 million customers in Michi-gan, Indiana. Ohio and Wiscon-sin to deal with billing issues, including slamming and cram-ming.

Slamming occurs when a cus-tomer 's local or long-distance company is changed without the customer's knowledge. When a company places a charge on a telephone bill for a service that wasn't ordered, that is known as cramming.

John Rooney, president of con-sumer services for Ameritech,

"In the past, they got slammed and they didn't even realize it,' Rooney said.

Ameri tech President Robert Cooper commended state law-makers for passing legislation and the s tate for the stiff fines meted out by the Michigan Pub-lic Service Commission against slamming companies. "As of this date, no company from Michigan has been fined," Cooper said.

Cooper said the center was located here for the "great busi-ness climate" in Michigan, call-ing the Redford, Detroit and a th i rd b i l l ing center in Port

Huron a "hat trick" for Michigan. "We're adding about 350-pIus jobs t ha t could have gone to other states," Cooper said

Ameritech service representa-tives will receive training to deal with slamming and cramming ques t ions , company officials said. . "(Customers) don't like it when

Customer service representa-tive Sean Elliott said he will answer questions about long-dis-tance service providers, toll calls

and local and long-distance ser-vice charges.

"We will act as a tour guide, and walk them through, step by step, their bill." Elliott said.

TRADITIONAL PICKS While many of today's brides are opting for bold bouquets that are decidedly non-traditional. the preference for dainty, hand-tied bouquets with clear-hued colors remains strong. Those who like the romantic look and feel of a billowy arm bouquet can fulfill their dreams with contrasting delicate white tulips and snowberries. Of course, long-stemmed pale or white roses can also be used for this simple and elegant bouquet, For a sweeter touch, brides may want to resort to the use of an assemblage of pale-colored flowers. For instance, lily of the valley, pink rugosa wild roses, yellow double tulips, and blue delphiniums may be combined to create a heavenly scented

Quick news: Metro Airport has introduced an electronic sign with information on parking availability.

M e t r o h a s n e w e l e c t r o n i c s i g n

P r i v e r s e n t e r i n g De t ro i t Metropolitan Wayne County Air-por t now can get up- to - the-m i n u t e p a r k i n g i n fo rma t ion from a new 30-foot electronic sign.

As they enter the airport onto Rogell Drive from either 1-94 or Merr iman Road, motorists will notice the sign in the median with messages instructing them about parking availability on the lots and the deck.

"We want to tell customers of lot c losures before they reach tha t first t r a f f i c light as they come in to t h e a i r p o r t , s a id E d w a r d M c N a m a r a , Wayne County execut ive. "Instead of driving right up to a closed deck, customers will know that they have to turn left to use the green or red lots.

"We are trying to save them an unnecessary drive around the loop."

The other side of the sign will be used for messages to gree t visitors to Detroit.

In the past year, airport trav-elers have seen:

• Redesigned surface parking lots that added about 400 new spaces;

• A new traffic lane added to Lower Rogell Drive in f ron t of the Davey Terminal;

• An expanded p a s s e p g e r pickup area created by moving the commercial vehicle loading areas away from the terminal;

• Inside lanes opened up to local motorists.

Contrasts create flavor excitement

Big flavor, health-blinded cooking seems to be the tall order of today.

As we are straying from high fats, oils and butters, try exciting the palate by creating contrasts in flavor, temperature and texture.

The first step to cooking greatness is retaining or encasing the essence of the product you're working with. Pro-viding contrast is an essential ele-ment of good cooking. Here are some guidelines to help you:

• Marinades are an awesome method for adding flavor to lean meat choic-es.

• Smoking adds big flavor. Using a dry spice rub adds another layer of flavor complexity to smoked prod-ucts building on the base of great taste.

• Adding natural frui t juices to vinai-grettes will lend an earthy kickvto dressings.

• Cook veggies in fresh stocks, or broths to add flavor, but not fat. Add a little stock to baked or braised meats to keep them moist and flavorful.

• Food harmony is key. It's difficult to enjoy your plate when foods don't go well together or there is too much of one item. A good rule of thumb is a plate should have 60T of grains, pastas and vegetables.

• Use low calorie ingredients in non-traditional ways. For example, use a strong-brewed coffee as part of a gravy base to add a rich flavor to beef dishes. Steep your favorite

• spiced tea and use it in place of water to intensify the flavor in quick breads, cakes and muffins.

Flavor e n h a n c e r s Seasoning is the secret to great

tasting food. Here are some sugges-tions for "Big Flavor" seasoning: Chicken or poultry - Paprika, poultry seasoning, thyme, parsley, sage, fresh mushrooms, basil, marjoram, cran-berry relish, ginger, cranberry sauce . -Lamb - Curry powder, rosemary, gar-lic, mint, onions, parsley, pineapple rings, mint sauce, mint jelly, oregano, basil Pork - Garlic, sage, onions, marjo-ram, applesauce, spiced apples Beef - Bay leaf, green pepper, chives, onions, mustard (dry), sage, thyme, tomatoes, marjoram, mushrooms, nutmeg, garlic Veal - Bay leaf, curry, garlic, ginger, basil, marjoram, mushrooms, oregano, pepper, chervil, summer savory Fish - Bay leaf, dry mustard, paprika, curry, mushrooms, tomatoes, dill, green pepper, lemon juice, marjoram, garlic, basil, thyme E | | i - chives, curry, dry mustard, green pepper, mushrooms, onions, paprika, parsley, tomatoes, basil

Seasoning vege tab le s Vegetable flavors can be intensified

by a pinch of sugar along with other seasoningB. Bay leaf, dill seed and vinegar will improve the flavor of any vegetable. Prepared mustard is high in sodium, but you can add water and vinegar to dry mustard for a spread. Try adding a few of the following to perk up vegetables a t your next meal:

Asparagus - lemon juice and chives Ore on beans - marjoram, lemon juice, nutmeg, rosemary, dill seed, onions, chives, seal lions Bi-occeH - Lemon juice Cabbage - Mustard dressing, dill seed, unsaked margarine with lemon ^nd augajc Carrots - Parsley, mint, or nutmeg; 'glazed with unsalted margarine and sugar; chopped chives, lemon juice. Cauliflower - Nutmeg Cera - Green pepper, tomatoes (fresh or canned without salt), chives, pars-ley, onions, curry Fees - Mint, fresh mushrooms, pars-ley, onions, chives, chervil, lemon juicfe

Fruity main dish salad perks up summer appetites MAIN MStf

MIRACLE

MURIEL WAGNER

Are you into "fusion* cooking? Have you ever considered apply-ing these principles to salads?

No, I'm not talking about blending flavors and ingredients from different ethnic dishes, but rather, mixing fruits and vegetables in the same salad.

The following recipe — is a tasty example of - '

• - flavor contrasts The sweetness of the fruit and tartness of the veggies is accentuated by the smoky, salty taste of Canadian bacon, and a soy-lime dressing. This salad is guaranteed to perk up jaded summer appetites.

The recipe is an updated version of one of my favorites — spinach salad Several ingredient* were changed for smarter eating, flavor enhancement and convenience.

Canadian bacon takes the place of regular bacon, because of its lower fet content, and for cooking convenience. I'm a lazy cook, remember?

Because Canadian bacon comes from the pork tenderloin, the serving portion (2 ounces ) has slightly more fst than 2 ounces of skinned chicken breast. The portion size also puts s lid on sodium

i content. Because Canadian bacon is i already cooked, it requires nothing i more than a short browning time to ' reheat. The warm-up adds an interest-

ing temperature contrast to the other salad ingredients.

Mangoes are in sea&on now They're abundant and inexpensive. Mangoes have a peachy, pineapple taste, lot* of fiber, vitamin C and beta carotene-Choose plump mangoes with no soft spots or wrinkled skin Mangoes will ripen in your kitchen >al rrtom tempera-

• ture out of the sun. When ripe, they have a fragrant aroma, and feel slight ly soft.

To cut up mangoes, score the skin lengthwise into quarters and pull off the peel, holding the fruit over a bowl to catch the juices The pit is wide and thick. Slice each side of the pit into two thick pieces Cut the remaining fruit from the pit and cut into serving size pieces

Besides this salad, I like to serve mangoes with grilled meat or chicken

The soy sauce in thw recipe is one of my Oriental cooking style secrets A> you know, soy sauce is relatively high in sodium. Regular soy sauce has 1.200mg of sodium per tablespoon, salt has 2,300mg per teaspoon Reduced sodium soy sauce is prepared by dilut-ing regular soy sauce with water and adding sweetener*, coloring and

preservatives. In a survey we did for my newsletter "Eating Younger" we found that Kikkoman Lite Soy had the best flavor of the "lite" soy sauces But. we also found that diluting Taman • Japanese soy sauce) with equal parts of dry sherry produced a sauce that was a taste treat with one-third of the sodium and no sweeteners, coloring or added preservatives T"ve included it in my ingredient list, but you can substi-tute your favorite reduced sodium soy

• sauce if you like.. ' * ' - • This salad is a one dish meal that

partners well with warm, toasted whole wheat raisin bread strips Keep the salad cool before serving

Cooking hints

Cheese can be enjoyed in every course f rom a p p e t i z e r s to d e s s e r t s . All c h e e s e d i s h e s should be cooked a t low tempera-tures for short periods of time. Overcooking may cause cheese to separate and result in a stringy, tough product. If using cheese as a casserole topping add it during the last 10 minutes of baking.

In, the microwave, cook eheese-bas&d foods on low sett ings and cook j u s t u n t i l c h e e s e me l t s . Aged cheeses generally melt and blefctd into foods more easily and lend more f l a v o r t h a n young cheeses.

T" p r e p a r i n g s a u c e s , g r a t ed

cheese will melt fas ter and more uniformly than slices or chunks. For" best results, s t i r the cheese into the hot sauce — off the heat —. jus t u n t i l i t m e l t s . H a r d , well-ripened cheeses can tolerate higher t e m p e r a t u r e s t h a n soft cheeses because more of the i r

protein ha s been broken down into small, less easily coagulated

amount of acidity, and even vig-orous stirring, all can cause cur-dling. The key to maintaining a smooth t e x t u r e is gen t l eness . Heat cheese gradually and mod-erately, and stir slowly.

A word of caut ion, imi ta t ion cheeses emit strange odors when mel ted a n d can t u r n rubbery . Add f l o u r or c o r n s t a r c h to reduced-fat cheeBes to help blend t h e m m o r e s m o o t h l y i n t o a sauce.

Serving suggestions

If using cheese as an appetiz-er, remove it from the refrigera-tor a t least 30 minu tes before serving to bring out the fullest flavor. Frui t is a natural part-ner for cheese. Apples pair well w i t h c r e a m y Br ie , d ry J a c k cheese and pistachios. P lums complement a mellow Monterey Jack, creamy Havarti , or tangy ch6vre. Pears go well with May-tag Blue or Roquefort and wal-nuts. Eryoy peaches sliced over

fresh ricotta, sweet Gorgonzola or fresh ch6vre. Among berries,

go well with ripe c reamy B r i e ; ' a n d r a spbe r r i e s pureed with sweet Gorgonzola.

Serve cheese after dinner with wine. Ancient Greeks ate cheese a t the end of a meal to renew t h e i r t h i r s t for wine. B u t remember — Caseus ille bonus quem dat avara manus — from the 11th century School of Saler-no, T h a t cheese is good which is served with a sparing hand."

Cheese is very filling and high in sodium, another reason to eat it sparingly. Red wine is the tra-ditional choiee as an accompani-ment to cheese.*'White wine is more acidic and complements soft cheeses better. The harder the cheese, the more tannins the accompanying wine can^have.

Any way you slice it, cheese is a nutri t ious, versatile, flavorful addition to a healthy diet. Jus t smile and say "cheese.*'

8 leaves Swiss chard

8 pieces Mozzarella cheese, 1 ounce each

2 tablespoons Italian dressing

2 tablespoons onion finely sliced

8 small basil leaves, chopped fine

1 Roma tomato sliced thinly and laid to drain on paper towel

Salt and pepper to taste

Soak cheese in dressing. Choose smaller, whole leaves of Swiss chard

Plunge in salted, boiling water until leaven are pliable but not thoroughly cooked. Remove from water and drain. Spread leaves out, dry with paper towel and lay flat. Cut off tough stem end and shave off the stem on the inner leaf without damaging the leaf.

To assemble: Lay leaf flat with stem side pointing away. Place cheese with drops of dressing on closest third of leaf. Sprinkle with dressing. Pile on a tomato slice and a little onion and pepper. Salt & pepper to taste. Roll up leaf by folding bottom up over cheese "pile," folding in and over consecu-tively until you have a neat bun-dle. Fasten the leaf with a tooth-pick. Spray the outside of the bun-dle with olive oil.

Grill bundles on low heat. If grill is too hot you may lay foil

over the grate to prevent any cheese from leaking out and onto the fire. When slightly brown on the edges, the bundles will be done.

BY KIMBERLY A- MORTSON STAFF WRITER kmortson@oe.homecomm.net

Former Winston cigaret te model Dave Goe r l i t z may be be s t remembered for the "Search and

Rescue" series of print ads he was fea-tured in during the 1980s. The adver-t i s e m e n t s p o r t r a y e d Goerl i tz as a macho, cigarette smoking, tough guy. s ca l i ng m o u n t a i n s and f lying a i r -planes.

Nearly two decades later the New Jersey native finds himself on a very different recovery mission. Today he publicly speaks out against an indus-try tha t he says paid him more than $100,000 a year to "entice, encourage and lure kids to smoke."

Goerlitz's s tand against the multi-. billion dollar tobacco industry started in 1988 when he publicly quit smoking — ending an addiction that led him to smoke 3-1/2 packs a day for more than 20 years.

"I was a professional smoker," said Goerlitz, "who was paid a lot of money to get men smoking ... par t icu la r ly y o u n g boys. The m a r k e t i n g made smoking look good because I looked macho, tough, robust and virile in the ads."

Goerli tz 's f r ank anti-tobacco com-ments were made to an audience of a p p r o x i m a t e l y 200 s t u d e n t s f rom throughout Wayne County at the "My Mind Is Free, No Tobacco For Me!" con-ference sponsored by the Wayne Coun-ty Smoking and Tobacco Intervention Coalition and more than a dozen agen-cies and organizations including Hegi-ra Prevention, St. Mary Hospital, Oak-wood H o s p i t a l , t h e Wayne Coun ty S h e r i f f s D e p a r t m e n t and the Kar -manos Cancer Institute.

Appearing as the keynote speaker at the all-day conference in River Rouge,

b o u t t o b a c c o m :

Goerlitz fast-paced 40 minute presen-ta t ion emphasized t h e manipula t ive role he 'bel ieves he promoted as the Winston Man. "I was paid to create illusions. I'm an actor — I did a good job."

Goer l i t z says his job was to f ind rep lacement smokers for those who either quit or died from a smoking-related illness. "The tobacco i n d u s t r y doesn't sell cigarettes for brand loyalty," said Goer-litz, but for profit. "The ads a r e d e l i b e r a t e l ies abou t t h e real va lue of their product."

During his stint as the Winston Man, he was fea-t u r e d in 42 a d v e r t i s e -m e n t s (more t h a n a n y o t h e r tobacco model including the 'Marlboro Men') during which t ime

Former Winston Man, Dave Goerlitz

R.J. Reynolds brand Winston cigarettes moved from number four to number two in worldwide sales.

Currently Goerlitz makes his living addressing young people and adults at public speaking engagements, confer-ences, smoking cessa t ion programs, through videos and on his Web site by

promoting his anti-tobac-co message. On the road for a p p r o x i m a t e l y 240 days a year, Goerlitz esti-mates he appears at some 400 events annually.

The former model says h is 11 y e a r q u e s t ha s been fueled by his desire to "undo the damage that his ads may have done in addicting young people to a product."

"I'm ashamed of what I did," said Goerlitz as he reflects upon his work for

the R.J. Reynolds company. The 48-year-old f a t h e r and g randfa the r ha s other modeling and movie credits to be p roud of d e s p i t e the u n f a v o r a b l e impression he*B left with as the former Winston Man.

Goerlitz appeared as Harrison Ford's s tand-in in the movie "Witness" and worked on such film productions as "Eddie and the Cruisers," "Rocky II," " S t r i k i n g Back," and "Las t Exi t to Brooklyn." He has been f ea tu red in c o m m e r c i a l s for The Adolph Coors Company, Vanderbilt Swan Perfume, Fayva Shoes and more.

A little help It was his son who motivated him to

kick h i s c iga re t t e hab i t . "Tha t kid meant business ," said Goerlitz, "and my q u i t t i n g re inforced h im to not s t a r t . " T h a t , coupled wi th a minor stroke he suffered while working on "Witness," left him with a lack of feel-ing on the left side of his body and the inabili ty to tas te foods. The medical emergency served as an i m p o r t a n t wake-up call.

Despite the seriousness of his mes-sage, Goe r l i t z couples h u m o r wi th anecdotal stories from his upbringing in an effort to connect wi th the stu-dents about tobacco use whether it's cigarettes, Bidis (flavored cigarettes), chewing tobacco or cigars.

"Tobacco is tobacco. Jus t like garbage is garbage," said Goerlitz. "Advertising of tobacco is a huge problem and it's a bunch of lies. It's not one th ing tha t gets kids to smoke but many things."

Dave Goerlitz recently completed a book titled, 'Behind the Smokescreen," a chronicle of his life beginning with his first smoking experience at the age of 13. For more information visit his Web site at http://davegoerlitz.find-here.com

Knowing how to avoid stings from bees, wasps, "hornets and yellow jackets leads to a more enjoyable summer for everyone The following precautions are suggested by the American College of Allergy, Asth-ma and Immunology:

• Avoid walking barefoot in the grass You might step on a honeybee or bumblebee foraging on white clover, a weed tha t grows in lawns throughout the United States.

• Insect 'repellents do not work against stinging insects.

• Never swat or flail at a flying insect If need be, gently brush it aside «r patiently wait for it to leave.

• ' When eating outdoors, do not drink from open beverage cans and keep food covered at all t imes Stinging insects are fond of the same foods you are

• Garbage cans stored outside should be covered with tight-fitting lids

• Avoid wearing sweet-smelling perfumes, hair-sprays. colognes and deodorants

• Do not wear bright colored clothing Bees may mistake you for a flower.

• If you have had an allergic reaction to an insect stmg, it is important tha t you see an allergist You have a 60-percent chance of having a similar , or worse reaction if stung again.

Wanna see? A webcam is

po in ted out a t

minutes, it uploads the current p i c tu re . J u s t go to www.staykauai.com and click on the l ive camera hype r l i nk . A Sony digital camera, inconspicu-ously mounted in a corner of the ceiling and pointing out between the Venetian blinds, shares my view with the world.

I've sent this link out to many of my fr iends . Ea t your hear t out, I say. Invariably, they, send back nasty little notes telling me what to do with the webcam. But it's all in good fun They're not serious. At least I don't th ink they are.

The webcam is what attracted me to this condo. It's owned by a California couple. Jack and Mar-garet Phillips. And they clearly love gadgets and gizmos. There's a sound system here the likes ef which I 've never see, stocked with dozens of CDs. There are funky mood l ights and fancy dimmer switches that, after four days, we're just starting to figure

"out.

But the Phillips also use the Internet to market their rental units on Kauai. And that attract-ed my at tent ion as I searched out potential vacation spots on

the Internet . The live pictures from the webcams show the little cove outside my door, the ocean out front and even the surfers who ride the waves from sunup to sundown.

There's a l i t t le guest book on the coffee t a b l e in the l iving room. Several guests , between raving about the beauty of this island, clearly note that the way they found t h i s condo was through the Internet webcam.

After I made my booking, the Phillip's m a n a g e r , Ricky Mae Toro. sent me an e-mail confir-mation and a long note on how to find the condo. places to eat and inside information on what to do and see h e r e , comple t e wi th links to local Web site on the island.

Remember when we thought TripTiks were a big deal? Now, with the Internet, information is i n s t a n t a n d m u l t i m e d i a . I t ' s absolute ly a m a z i n g wha t t h e 'Net is doing these days.

But now t h a t we're here, we still miss our kids and grand-kids. We wish we could sha re this vacation with them.

So, we decided to use the "Net to do just t h a t . We set up our own special Web page to chroni-

s p e c t a c u l a r W a i m e a Canyon here, I took along my Sony Mavi-ca digital camera. Same with my Scuba diva tr ip. Zap. There's a picture of a tur t le . A white-tip shark.

The camera came along on a visit to a tropical garden. There we a re s t a n d i n g in f ron t of a huge tree.

We v i s i t e d a s p e c t a c u l a r waterfall. A couple of hours after I s n a p p e d a p ic tu re , i t ' s now posted on the Net.

And so on. Each day, I take digital photos of the highlight of what we saw and did.

At n igh t , I j u s t pop out the disk with t h e digital pictures, load t h e m on my h a r d dr ive , tweak the con t ras t and adjus t the image size and then just post them on a Web page for our fam-ily and friends back home.

Before I flew over, I called the local ISP, www.hawaiian.net , and a r ranged to have a short-t e r m I n t e r n e t accoun t . T h a t gives me unlimited access, with no long-distance phone charges. I send out e-mails to our friends and relatives telling them what's the latest on our vacation Web page.

Artists kiss summer bye-bye with gusto

August is usually the month most people take one last opportunity to enjoy the fleeting days of

summer, but not Observerland artists. They're busy exhibiting their work and performing in concerts around the area.

If you decide to stay in town this month, check out the art local artists ai^-creating. You won't be disappointed.

Final days Artifacts Art Club, is presenting its

first summer multimedia exhibit through Aug. 15 at the Joanne Win-

. kleman Hulce Center for the Arts in Plymouth.

Diane Dunn, Sherry Eid, Peggy Gray, Sara Dick-ens, and Amy and Don Alley are among the Livo-nia residents dis-playing paintings, pastels, tiles and other media.

Not to be missed are Gray's "Blarney Castle" pastel and West-land artist Nancy Janosi's "Silver-back" (pastel/ charcoal). Both works capture beauty. Gray paints a peaceful rendition of the

Irish landmark. Janosi relays the gen-tleness in the face of a Silverback gorilla.

Pa in t ing wi th th read Westland artist Saundra Weed and

Debra Danko of Grand Blanc create wall-warming "Art Quilts and Other Images" through Aug. 27 at Livonia City Hall.

Weed is a well-known area artist and teacher, but not many people have seen the sensual paintings she creates from fabrics. From an Orien-tal landscape to a floral focusing on irises, her works lure the viewer into the image. More recent art quilts mimic windows — stained glass or one that looks out onto a flower gar-den. Whichever you choose, Weed says art quilts are a new way to soften rooms.

"I think people are afraid to use paintings and quilts together on their walls," said Weed. "You just want to keep the colors or subjects consis-tent."

Weed's and Danko's works comple-ment each other. Danko grew up in Livonia and turned her lifelcing love of sewing into self-expression in 1991 when she took up quilting. Four of the quilts in the show are from a series she created with money from a 1999 Creative Artist Grant, supported by ArtServe Michigan in conjunction with the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Aftairs. Danko's gor-geous Georgia OKeefe-like flowers tease the viewer to come closer.

Artifacts exhibit: Amy Alley painted this oil titled "Comfortable Silences."

J im Pujdowski smiled with satis-faction as he watched his s tudents put finishing touches on a mural in the lobby of Community Choices in Redford.

The project was about more than just creating ar t for a building. Puj-dowski. a Redford artist, hoped that during the eight days of laying down t h e v i b r a n t red , yellow, b l u e and green geometric s h a p e s the jun ior and sen ior h i g h school s t u d e n t s would le.arn .coippassion and respect for the disabled persons assisted by Community Choice.

It's a lesson he isn't always able to relay in the ar t classes he teaches at University Liggett School in Grosse Pointe Woods.

"There's t r emendous compassion here a t Community Choices," said Pujdowski. "Everyone's t reated with respect and dignity."

Pujdowski believes in people help-ing people. Since 1988, he and his

Lesson in compass ion Pujdowski knows from experience

tha t extending a helping hand bene-fits volunteers as well. To prove his point, Pujdowski made arrangements with the school for students to earn the 25 hou r s of community service credits necessary to graduate.

John D u r a n t , one of Pujdowski 's painting students, was happy to have

"I saw that the peo-ple h e r e rea l ly ca re about the people who come in," said Durant. "I'd n e v e r r ea l ly

Fishing is like a sacrament 'Walk On

Water,' by Lorian

Hemingway (Harcourt

Brace, $13).

My mother loved fishing. I

VICTORIA don't mean fish-DIAZ , n g merely

pleased her or provided relaxation or injected a bit of excitement into her days. I mean that she l i teral ly loved fishing.

She loved all of its accompa-nying ritual, too. For her, there seemed something almost magi-cal about donning an old straw hat, grabbing some crawly bait, and set t ing out, cane pole in hand, for^he slippery banks of the nearest or dearest watering hole.

Me, I mostly got the creeps if called upon to bait a hook and, once I'd been finned and good-and-bloodied by a desperate cat-fish, the sport pretty much lost all its charm for yours truly. Besides, I never had much "fish luck" — although turt les were often crazy about whatever bait 1 offered.

Now, in this centennial year of Ernest Hemingway's birth comes the paperback version of "Walk On Water," written by his grand-daughter, Lorian Hemingway (hardcover edition was issued last year). A gripping memoir of her owq hard-lived life, it has, at its center, fishing, and a woman who regards the sport not only as a metaphor for her life, but as an amfiiing and saving grace.

Readers who. like my mother, regard fishing as something akin to redemption may very well con-sider "Walk On Water" as the catch of the season.

The rest of us will simply find ourselves irresistibly caught up in Lorian Hemingway's dramatic story and her buoyant prose.

"I take fish personally, like a sacrament." she tells us as we set out with her on this literary journey. And, if we don't share her feelings exactly by journey's

end, we at least have come much closer to understanding them.

The solitary child of a broken home, Lorian Hemingway first learned something about the art of fishing from an elderly black woman who fished "the slow. , .waters of the Arkansas" with a cane pole, fat nightcrawlers nur-tured in compost, and homemade cork bobbers. When the over-eager little girl beside her on the river banks had no luck at land-ing fish, the old woman offered some quiet wisdom: "You edgy. . .You wants fish too bad. They knows it."

"If I had waited forty years. . .to hea r gospel words on any given subject, those would have been the words," Hemingway tel ls us. .as I brea thed deeply, taking in the scenery, my head repeating. . .that one dis-tilled bit of wisdom. . .fish luck, in all its quirky, ritual-bound habits, found me."

When, shortly thereafter^ the eight-year-old girl managed to bring an enormous catfish out of the muddy river (finishing it off with the blunt end of a Coca-Cola bottle), it was clear to Lori-an Hemingway that she was as hooked as the fish.

From these rather modest pis-catorial beginnings in her South-ern childhood, Hemingway, as an, adult , goes on to angle for 500-pound marlin off the coast of Bimini, for trout and salmon in the cold, c lear wa te r s of the Pacific Northwest , for tarpon along the Florida Keys.

Not surprisingly, her fishing adven tu r e s t a k e her to her famous grandfather's old haunts "Up in Michigan," too. Here, near the lakeshore, she would accidenta l ly (myster iously?! meet a recovering alcoholic and fellow angler who would sense Lorian Hemingway's own alco-holism (a legacy shared with her grandfather, father, and moth-er), reach out to her, and, in a very real way. change her life.

Because of her life-threatening battle with alcohol, this story is much more than "fish stories" or tales told around the campfire.

Sometimes "Walk On Water" feels like a trek into the heart of darkness

But it is ultimately illuminat-ed by hope, promise, and even that ra res t of commodities in today's literature - joy

It 's also marked by Lorian Hemingway's disarming humor Her recounting of one of her own book signings is a delight. "For f i r s t - t imers like myself - the unknowns who must carry a s tun gun to get. a t tent ion -(book tours) can be the defini-tive humbling experience." she confides.

Throughout "Walk On Water." . her writing - though it can tend to meander like a lengthy trout s t ream sometimes - remains marvelously vivid.

As readers, our own muscles tend to knot up as she struggles and fights to land the great blue marlin.

We can almost feel the icy shock of the water as she goes after two elusive trout with her bare hands.

We seem to breathe the same mosquito-laden. Gulf Coast air tha t she does on a summer morning.

Concisely-sketched, but indeli ble. characters add texture and nuance to "Walk On Water ." Most notable of these are Ernest Hemingway's lovable brother. Les; Lorian's eccentric father. Greg; and her aunt Freda, who. on her death, left all her rnari juana stash to the writer.

Pincus donates $6 million to DSO in honor of son B Y F R A N K P R O V E N Z A N O

STAFF WRITER

f p r o v e n i a n o @ w . h o m o c o m m . n e t

Bernard and Marilyn Pincus of Bloomfield Hills found the ideal - and profoundly generous - ges-ture to remember their son's love of music.

On Monday they donated $6 million to support the Detroit Symphony Orches t ra ' s 150-square-foot music education cen-ter, to be constructed as part of Phase III of Orchestra Place.

The newly named Jacob Bernard Pincus Music Education Center will be on Woodward Avenue at Selden Street, next to the Detroit High School for the Fine and Performing Arts, cur-rently under construction.

The center will include a rehearsal hall for youth orches-tras. practice studios, meeting rooms, a music library and a technology/listening room

Jacob Pincus died six years ago following open heart surgery He was 26.

Nearly three years ago, Peter Cummings , cha i rman of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, approached the Pincus family when he heard they were consid-ering a way to memorialize their son, who played guitar and had a passion for music.

"When they heard about the Orchestra Place development, they were immediately interest-ed." said Cummings.

"The Pincus gift has been an inspirat ion, not only because they're ho'nqring their son. but for other donors." he said.

The donation continues the impressive momentum that has been building since the DSO ini-tiated its long-term renovation plan, which included physical structure improvements and out-reach programs

In the past few years, the DSO has constructed a new office building, renovated Orchestra Hall, broke ground for the new high school, and expanded public education programs, including founding a Summer Insti tute, which tutors high school music students.

The Pincus donation is the largest donation given to the DSO by an individual or family. Only the Kresge Foundat ion grant of $6 5 million, and the recent state grant of $10 million are larger

"There 's a fee l ing tha t the DSO can be a beacon for the entire region "

"We have the potential to be a model to show how cul tura l institutions enhance the quality of life of the region "

Post-season bargains can update your wardrobe

THE MEAL MEAL

CARI WALDMAN

Once I s t a r t ed looking for them — end of the season bargains, that is — they were every-where.

While some of us are still caught up in our t ank tops, ba th ing su i t s and other carefree, sum-mer garments, oth-ers are in the heart of ser ious fall wardrobe planning.

Regardless of your time horizon and wardrobe needs for fall and summer, there are some post-season bargains out there that are too good to pass up. And, shrewd shoppers are scouring gales racks for steals to pack away for mid-winter vacations and next sum-mer. Tha t high-priced, designer bathing suit you've been eyeing all season is the perfect example of an item you can snag at significant sav-ings.

Furthermore, ingenious shoppers are likely to find wearable items dur-ing the fall t ransi t ion period, the stage between warm summer days and chilly autumn nights.

A sweater set of heavier weight, for exan$le, might be worn in early fall with other apparel pieces. A light-weight wool suit from the summer season, for instance, can he worn through October.

At every price point, we saw a lot of the same apparel trends: Capri pants, f lat-front khakis, strappy sandals, halter tops, sweater sets, pale gray suits and tops with three-quarter-length sleeves.

Luckily for us, there are still plenty of these items hanging on sales racks discounted by 50, and even 75, per-cent.

At these prices, why not indulge in the designer digs you passed up earli-er this year in the name of being practical?

Seriously though, reconsider the word "clearance", and look for pieces you can have fun with now but wear into the fail season.

Here's a look at what's out there: Let us s ta r t with three-quarter-

length sleeve shirts. At The Limited at The Somerset Collection in Troy, $29 will buy you a s i lk-cashmere blend V-neck sweater with three-quarter-length sleeves.

Likewise, at Parisian at Laurel Park Place in Livonia, I spotted three-quarter-length sleeve shirts in white, light blue and pink by Finity. Origi-nally $68, these practical, crisp-tex-tured shir ts were marked down to $23.99. •

Keep your eye out for good quality T-shirts, too. They're always needed and, if you're lucky, you may land a real steal.

Notable finds — all priced under $20 — included fitted boatneck and V-neck s h i r t s at The Gap, Banana Republic and Loehman's in West Bloomfield.

In the category of designer bar-gains, I found a l ightweightFool-Lycra blend suit in cement gray by Calvin Klein on sale at West, Bloom-field boutique Complaisant. Both of these pieces are perfect items for your fall transitional wardrobe. The jacket, originally priced at $385, was marked down to $193. The matching flat-front trousers were reduced from $195 .to $98.

Also marked down 50 percent at Complaisant were unusual cotton sweaters and sweater sets by Calvin Klein, Easel, Pin Up and Icon.

, . .Thfc be»t bargain* I - f t rondin the shoe category turned up at Imelda's Closet in downtown Birmingham. Mezlan'a Italian-made, woven leather fiats in natural and black, originally $150, were priced at $49 and $59.

The s tore a l io has Barleycorn's suede ankle boots at a significant reduction. Available in shades of navy, rock aftd brandy, these funky boota will complement a pair of khakis or dark rinse jeans in the fall just as easily as they do summer garb Origi-nally priced at $155, they're a st&U at $89.

The rest is common sense. Get out there and ecour those satoa racks. And, let me know how 1 can help in your quest for a good bargain

Browse, test, compare New concept beauty retailer changes

the way we shop for cosmetics

• 17

BY NICOLE STAFFORD SPECIAL EDITOR nstafford@oe. homecomm.net

Buyers of designer cosmetics and fragrances know there's no such thing as browsing the beauty counters.

Unless you're immune to the influence of cosmet-ics sales clerks, who work on commission and are trained to sell, your leisurely shopping pace will most likely disappear within minutes of approach-ing the counters.

But new concept beauty retailer Sephora is about to give local buyers of brand name cosmetics and scents a different environment in which to shop.

Founded in France and currently commanding 20 percent of the French beauty market, Sephora is setting up its 30th U.S. store at the Somerset Col-lection in Troy. •

The 5,500-square-foot store will open Aug. 13 at Somerset North near Hudson's. The company opened a store at Lakeside Mall in Sterling Heights in May and plans to open another location at Novi's Twelve Oaks Mall in December.

"It's shopping for cosmetics and fra-grances in a way that has never been done before," said Loretta McCarty, Sephora 's regional director in Michigan. "We're in the business of assist-ing and not insisting.'

McCarty is refer-ring both to how Sephora s tores are physically configured and to the company's insistence tha t cus-tomers be allowed to roam and ' browse freely without being pressured to buy.

While Sephora does separate out designer labels — Calvin Klein. Chanel , Givenchy. Stila, Tony & Tina and Club Monaco, to name a few — they don't use t rad i t iona l beau ty counters to display and present products.

Likewise, sa les clerks a re not assigned to oversee or sell'a particular cos-metic brand.

Designer cosmetics are housed ins ide gondolas set up in a row in the center of the store, a configura-tion t h a t enables shoppers to browse independent ly and easily compare prod-ucts from d i f f e ren t lines.

tl.

Private label: Sephora has its own line of beauty products.

*

New concept: Founded in France and in command of 20 percent of the French beauty market, Sephora sells designer-brand cosmetics and fragrances in a self-serve envi-%

ronment where assistance is available if needed. Sephora opens its 30th U.S. store at the Somerset Collection in Troy on Aug. 13.

Well-being: Sephora sells well-being prod-ucts, like candles, too.

Designer f ragrances are housed together in alphabetical order for easy selection and fast com-parison shopping.

Testers are also provided for each of the store's estimated 13,000 products, which include Sephora's own beauty line — about 10 percent of the store's merchandise — and more unique goods with limit-ed availability.

"I suspect that the purpose is to make it easier for those (shoppers* who want to make their own decisions," said R. Mohan Pisharodi, associate pro-fessor of marketing at Oakland University's School of Business.

Sephora also seems to target consumers who like to do comparison shopping, a style of purchase deci-sion-making on the rise, said Pisharodi.

"Lots of consumers today want to compare, com-pare, compare," said Pisharodi. The same type of shopper also worries more about sales clerks' influ-ence on their purchase decisions, he said.

While Sephora shoppers are encouraged to freely explore store merchandise and test and compare products, the company does provide customer ser-vice. Tailored to meet the needs of individual shop-pers, customer service ranges from assistance locat-ing a particular item to full-blown makeovers, said. McCarty.

Another feature distinguishing the store from cosmetic counters is the well-being library, where hair care goods and products typically sold only by dermatologists and beauty salons will be available.

The store's appearance, sleek and futuristic, is also radically different from the conventional cos metic counter Dramatic black walls and display areas contrast with the store's ruby red carpeting Sales clerks don white gloves and wear all-black clothing.

"It's so intriguing." said McCarty of the overall environment. "You can't help but feel that way."

Mode du Concours show is sporty and chic BY NICOLE STAFFORD SPECIAL EDITOR , • •-> nstafford@oe.homecomm.net •

Sophisticated and sporty can coexist in fashion. That's the message Ellen Tracy's Fall 1999 Collection sent at the annual Mode

du Concours fashion show July 30 at Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills. One of many events making up the Concours d' Elegance weekend, the show

was organized by Saks Fifth Avenue and "Mirabella" and "Elle" magazines. Sporty elements showed up in styling and color. Tracy, for example, gave

cropped, tailored jackets and luxurious sweaters sporty, sweatshirt-style hoods She also showed a slew of cozy, funnelform turtlenecks that were styled loosely, rather than folded under neatly.

Casual zip-front jackets and snap-button shirt jackets had a formal look by virtue of fabric choice. One shirt jacket, cut much like a man's flannel shirt, was made of rich, rusty brown leather. Zip-front jackets were made elegant with soft;

felted wool and an elaborate paisley fabric Color also lent a playful, sporty air to Tracy's fall clothing collection. While the

designer certainly tapped classic colors like dark blue, winter-white, gray, taupe and an array of brown tones, she interjected a large dose of both pastel and bright colors. .

Plaid, for example, showed up in hues of lilac and mint green A tailored. Shet-land wool, outer coat reminiscent of Jackie O. showed up in Halloween pumpkin orange Lemon yellow gave an elegant, shearling-leather and fur jacket a wear-it-with-jeans look.

Other playful colors included hot pink, ice blur and bright hunter green Most of Tracy's evening wear, however, came down the runway in midnight blue with classic black, red and other jewel tones conspicuously missing

Trousers, with the exception of Tracy's tab pants, fell on the slimmer slide rel-ative to other designers' fall collections But her skirts, just above and at the knee, were true to expected season trends

What to m

B Y D O U G J O H N S O N 8TAFT W B J T E B

The long w e e k e n d in New York City is a t once both cliche and unique experience.

It has been the subject of sev-eral movies, most notably "The Ou t -o f -Towner s " w i t h S a n d y Denn i s a n d J a c k L e m m o n , recently redone by Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn.

Their experience is awful as a variety of big-city mishaps befall the couple.

Our weekend was much bet-ter.

We decided on a stay stretch-ing from S a t u r d a y noon unt i l Tuesday noon. Our companions were our son, Mark J o h n s o n , who works for West Bloomfield Schools, and his wife, Trista.

Saturday, after checking into lovely rooms at the Omni Berk-shire Place hotel, we took a cab to Central Park for an early din-ner a t Tavern on the Green. The l a n d m a r k r e s t a u r a n t is of ten f ea tu red in movies ( including Mart in ' s recent "Out-of-Town-ers) , e s p e c i a l l y t h e C r y s t a l Room.

It may seem like hyperbole, but this museum's collections of

Opting to walk the few blocks b a c k to t h e Omni , we f i r s t strolled the lobby of The Plaza, hoping to see the ghosts of F. Scott Fitzgerald or John Lennon. Desser t and coffee at midnight a t the Omni was $47 and provid-ed o u r f i r s t t r u e dose of Big Apple sticker shock.

S u n d a y a f t e r n o o n was s e t a s ide for "Ragt ime." an ideal play to see in New York. It is really a New York story captur-ing the wonderful fictional and historical aspects of E.L. Doc-torow's novel about the tumul-tuous turn of the century melt-ing pot that was NYC The mas-

sive set c rea ted for the scene with Henry Ford and the Model T production line especially res-onates with Detroit visitors.

Clive Barnes glowing review of "Ragtime" says it well: "It's a show that takes the heartbeat of a legendary New York, half-real, ha l f -hoped and to t a l ly imag-ined."

pie of other firms offer tours ii} vans, but these are booked in advance. Guides are of uneven quality. One was an ex-cop with a great voice and an encyclopedic knowledge of the city; another was a radio dj-wannabe with a bad Don Imus imitation.

The tour took all day wi th "hopping ofT at Battery Park for a look at street performers and the Statue of Liberty.

We had a late lunch at a no-name store-front eatery in Chi-natown. The menu consisted of a 10-page mimeographed pane-gyric to Chairman Mao stapled in front of the meal offerings I don't know which was more fun: the wonderful food or the discus-sion of how much Mao l iked spicy pork.

Monday night we had a won-derful meal a t a mid-town Ital-ian restaurant, "50 Restaurant." (C inquan ta R i s t o r a n t e ) a t 50 East 50th Street.

Tuesday morning before the plane ride home was spen t a t MoMA and the wonderful works there (like van Gogh's "Star ry Night"), and a quick peak into Tiffany's.

Everyone had something they wished they had done: T r i s t a would have liked to visit a jazz club; Mark would have liked to go into the Guggenheim. I would have liked to see the photogra-phy galleries in SoHo; my wife would have liked a boat tr ip in the harbor.

Aluminum bats produce higher scores BY STEVE KOWALSK1

S«uSSMJhMMO«M Put wooden bats in the hands of colle-

giate-aged baseball players and you can take away the long home run fences at Livonia's Ford Field and the 2-hour. 15-mihute time limit for games.

That's the consensus in the second year wooden bats were used exclusively for the Collegiate Division of the Adray Metro Basebal l Associat ion, whose home diamond is Ford Field. Aluminum bats are used when the collegiate teams played against the unlimited age teams in the Can/Am Division.

Run production was down consider-ably for two. of the four Collegiate Divi-sion teams when wooden bats were used instead of aluminum, but even more noticeable was the lack of the long ball and games played in a shorter time for all four teams.

Hines Park Lincoln Mercury, made up mostly of Henry Ford Community Col-lege players, and Livonia Adray seemed to.be the most effected by the change in ttfilny.

In 21 games (12 with wood and nine wi th a l u m i n u m ) compiled by the Observer, Hines Park averaged 9.2 runs per game with aluminum bats and 2-7

per game with wood. Hines Park, which finished last in the Collegiate Division, was 2-9-1 in games played with wooden bats, 5-4 in aluminumrbat games.

Livonia Adray scored 34. runs in 12 games with wooden bats tracked by the Observer, an average of 2.9 per game. Adray averaged 5.4 runs in the 11 alu-minum bat games tracked.

Adray, third in the Collegiate Divi-sion, was 5-7 in wooden bat games, 4-7 in aluminum bat games.

Hines Park coach Stu Rose, who also coaches Henry Ford CC, said Dan Fairehild, a 1998 Garden City graduate, was one of his few players not hindered by the wooden bat.

The Collegiate Division teams elected to use wooden bats for a second-straight season in a preseason vote among the four coaches. Michigan Lake Area Rams coach Rick Berryman, Livonia Decision Consultants coach Mike George and Livonia Adray coach John Morait is voted in favor of wooden bats and Rose voted for aluminum.

Majority ruled. The league decided to go to wooden

bats last year in order to attract Quality players who were choosing to go out of state to play in wooden bat leagues. Rose isn't sure it's a good idea, and not just because his team struggled.

Omar Diaz hit the team's only two home nans with wood, Rose said. Hines Park hit all sorts of homers with alu-minum bats, scoring in double digits several times with the bats they've been swinging since they were kids.

"I didn't want to go to wood," Rose said. "I'm. an aluminum fan because that's what colleges use. It made sense to me to swing what they use during the season. My team batted seventh (among junior colleges) in the country with alu-minum. It's a whole different team with wood.

"If the 'top' player wants to show a pro scout who'se not convinced he can hit with wood, the Cape Cod League is a great place to play. Marginal players, suspects, are much better off using alu-minum and let the scouts guess "

Moraitis said he's indifferent about which bats his team uses.

"I'm just like a sheep, went along with' what everyone else did," Moraitis said. "They hit (with wooden bats) all right, just can't hit it as far. The bat's a little heavier and they don't get it around as

quick." In contrast to Hines Parks and Livo-

nia Adray's struggles, the Rams and Collegiate Division champion DC I aver-aged slightly more runs per game with wooden bats than aluminum. '

The Observer compiled all of t h e Rams' scores and they averaged of 4.3 runs with wooden bats (64 in 15 games), compared to 4.09 with aluminum (45 in 11 games). The Rama were 8-7 with wood, 4-7 with aluminum, finishing sec-ond in the Collegiate Division.

Berryman said the Rams had more hits with aluminum bats but couldn't seem to get the clutch hit often, keeping scores lower in those games.

He was surpr i sed tha t the Rams scored more per game with wooden bats than aluminum. .

"I'm shocked by it," he said. "But we hit pretty decent pitching this year."

Berryman still is a believer in using wooden bats will make the players bet-ter h i t te rs when they return to alu-minum in the collegiate season.

"It makes them realize what they have to work on to be better hitters." he said.

All of DCI's scores were compiled, also. DCI averaged 5.5 runs per game

with wooden bats (83 in 15 games) and 5.4 with aluminum (54 in 10).

DCI was 11-3-1 with wood and 4-5-1 with aluminum.

George, the DCI coach, thinks using wood makes a player a bet ter hitter once he goes back to aluminum in the collegiate season. He said his. teams at Madonna University, where he formerly coached, used to take batting practice with wooden bats and it helped once they used aluminum-in games.

"I like the concept of the wooden bat," George said. "It makes for a quicker game and is a great teaching tool for kids. You get away with a lot with an aluminum bat that you don't get with wood. I would vote for i t to stay."

The Can/Am Division, an unlimited age division made up of Troy Jet Box and three teams from Canada, is in favor of continuing to use aluminum bats in all of its games, including those with the collegiate teams.

"We are alt senior players, not going pro anywehpre so why spend extra money on wooden bats when there's no advantage to you anyway," said Chris Soulliere, a former coach in the league. "I can see over there (in the Collegiate Division), they're trying to attract better college players with wooden bats."

PCHA membership The Plymouth-Canton Hockey

Association will be accepting applications for membership from 10 a.m.-noon Sunday, Aug. 15 at the Plymouth Cul tura l Center. The lack of ice time pre-vents the PCHA from expanding, so there are few openings.

Which is why the application process will be in the form of a wait-list drawing, which will be at 12:15 p.m. Aug 15. Residents of Plymouth and Canton are-asked to bring proof of residency, because they will be given first priority in the drawing. There are few openings, so most appli-cants will be placed on a waiting list.

Ferguson could be a bass star NATURE

NOTES

BILL PARKER

With the new millennium approaching Art Ferguson is rapidly gaining momentum on t h e professiona-1 b a s s fishing circuits. Could he be the next supers ta r of bass f i s h i n g 7 Will t h e f i r s t 10 years of the new millennium be the decade of the "Art of Fishing?"

Time will tell, but if I'm Davy Hite. Roland Mart in, Kevin VanDam or any of the o t h e r big n a m e s in t h e industry I'd be looking over

my shoulder There's a new kid in town, he's capable, he 's hungry , and he's proven he belongs fishing side-by-side with the best bass anglers in the world

If there were any doubts about Ferguson's ability he's erasecTthem over the past year

On t h e rise Fresh off a carew-best third-place showing

- and a $50.000-pay day - in the Wal-Mart FLW Forrest Wood Open last month on Lake St. Clair. Ferguson, of Rochester, wrapped up an impressive 18th-plaee finish over the weekend in the granddaddy of all bass fish-ing tournaments , the prestigious B.A.S.S. Mas t e r Classic Held on the Miss iss ippi River Delta in Louisiana. Ferguson got off to a sluggish start in the tournament but fin-ished with a flurry - >

"I feel real good about it." Ferguson said of his top-20 finish. "I would have liked to have done better, you go in to win not-finish 18th, but overaU I'm pret ty happy I s t ruggled early, but finally found some bigger fish It was nice to come back like that."

Ferguson was 18th a f t e r the f i rs t day, w e i g h i n g a f ive- f i sh l imi t t h a t w e n t 9 pounds, 11 ounces. He again caught a limit on day two. but it weighed just 8 pounds, 1 ounce, which dropped him to 23rd place.

Helping hand "A buddy of mine. Randy Howell , from

Arkansas, did real well on the last two days doing into the last day he gave me a pump-

kin jig-n-pig and t h a t ' s what I ended up catching the bigger fish on," Ferguson said. "I caught my limit on a seven-inch Gambler red shad worm, but the bigger fish seemed to hit the jig better."

The final weigh-in was held before some 25,000 f ans a t t h e S u p e r d o m e in New Orleans. Ferguson jumped back into 18th place by weighing another limit on the final day that tipped the scale at a respectable 13 pounds, 9 ounces."

"The (final) weigh-in was pretty awesome. It was mind-blowing," Ferguson said. "I had a nice limit on the last day so it was pretty exciting to go up in front of that many peo-ple."

Ferguson started fishing professionally in 1990. but didn't fa re well out of the gate. Although he qualif ied for the Classic that, year by placing third in the B.A.S.S. Nation-al Federation Championship, he lacked ade-quate sponsorship and nearly went broke fishing the BP Top 100 circuit. The fish did-n't cooperate much either.

He continued to fish in lecal and pro tour-naments and also started a guide service -summers on Lake S t . Clair and Saginaw Bay. winters on Florida's Lake Okeechobee.

Gaining conf idence Ferguson's success and confidence steadily

i nc reased as h e g a i n e d more and more knowledge about the lakes he was fishing, the habits of the fish in those lakes, and the int ricacies and rigors of tournament fishing. This year the "Art of Fishing" has arrived

At age 34 and wi th a ton of experience under his belt, not to mention some big name sponsors including Marathon. Chevy Trucks. Triton Boats and Mercury, he returned to the pro circuit this year and turned in top 30 finishes on the B.A.S.S. Master Top 150 Pro-Am He was third in the Forrest Wood Open and qualified for t h e FLW Championship next month on Fort Gibson Lake in Okla-homa. He was a l so tops in the Nor the rn Division and seventh overall in the B.A.S.S. Wrang le r F e d e r a t i o n Nat iona l C h a m p i -onships, which qualified him for the Classic.

Ferguson also requalif ied for "the 1999-

2000 B.A.S.S. Top 150 and begins fishing in that circuit Aug. -25-28 with a tournament on Lake St. Clair.

Back at home "I'm excited about that one. It's going to be

a great tournament." Ferguson said. "It will be noi.ee to start the 1999-2000 circuit on my home water.

"I th ink it will be better t h a n the FLW because there will be more big-name pros there and there's a lot more open water to fish now," he said. "The Canadian side (of Lake St. Clair) was closed until the last day of the FLW and not many people fished it because we couldn't get out there and find the fish in pre-fishing."

Ferguson expects the smallmouth to be in a late summer pattern when the Top 150 rolls into Metro Beach Metropark . which means they ' l l be schooling up in deeper water and in moving water.

They ' re harder to find late in the summer, but when you do find them they're schooled up tighter," Ferguson said-

Fishing f ans can meet some of the big name pros d u r i n g the"Chevy Pro Night . Wednesday Aug. 25, at Hamilton Chevrolet, located at 14 Mile Road and Mound Road in Warren. Joining Ferguson at the event will be such nationally renown pros as Roland Mar t in . J i m m y Houston. Denny Brauer , David Fritts. Tommy BifHe, and Kim Striek-er. among others.

While mainstream America considers the ramif ica t ions of the Y2K t h r e a t top bass ang le r s a re ponder ing the impac t of the arrival of the Art of Fishing

A fish story; Wally Christensen was surprised to see a big sturgeon look directly into his viewfinder.

Rare photo gets noticed Wally Christensen of Farming

ton was su rpr i sed by what he saw th rough the camera lens, but quickly took the picture.

What he saw was a large stur-geon poke i ts head out of the w a t e r , as if to have a look around and see what was hap-pening

C h r i s t e n s e n took the photo earlier this year at Alverno Dam on the Black River, seven miles south of Cheboygan in the north-ern lower peninsula.

"We knew the guy who operat-ed the dam, and we went to see the sturgeon spawning," f h r i s -

' t ensen sa id , add ing the land-locked fish swim from Mullett Lake to the dam for tha t pur-pose.

C h r i s t e n s e n e s t i m a t e d t h e sturgeon to be nearly 5 1/2 feet

irt length and weighing nearly 80 pounds

"I was awed when he looked at me like that." Christensen said "Never in my life (had he seen a fish do that! . He just stuck hjs head up and looked right at u&."

Christensen's young grandson took that and his other sturgeon pictures to school the next week to use during show and tell.

"He was a hero for the day." he said.

Christensen has had fun wi<h the photos, too. showing them to people and asking them to guess what it is.

Some were fooled by the pro-jecting snout, a characteristic-of sturgeon, and thought it was a porpoise, he said

Sturgeon also are valuable as a source of caviar

So just what is it?

TIM NOWICKI

N a t u r a l i s t s of ten get some unusua l gifts, or t h i n g s to identify. Don't m i s t a k e t h i s s t a t e m e n t as n e g a t i v e ; actually, they a r e g r e a t l e a r n i n g opportunities.

J u s t t h e o t h e r day I was in South

Lyon conducting a nature pro-gram scheduled by the library when I was asked a question.

After the regular program, a mom and her two sons came up to me wi th a m e d i u m - s i z e d McDonald's bag.

"We knew you were coming today and would be ab le to identify what we found in the woods of nor the rn Michigan.* the mother said.

I never r e a l l y know wha t migh t be in b a g s , boxes or closed containers.

I t turned out to be several bones from a porcupine. Fortu-n a t e l y , they h a d t h e sku l l , which is the only pa r t of the skeleton I would have been able to identify.

Porcupines have a very char-ac ter i s t ic skul l , which has a

large infraorbital foramina. Or, if you look into the nose of the skull, the re are two large cir-cles on each side o f the skull.

On the same day, the super-v isor of I n d e p e n d e n c e O a k s Coun ty P a r k , Ray Delasko , b r o u g h t in a huge pel le t he found in the park.

At first glance, it looked too big to be an owl pellet, but after I took it out of the bag it was as big as the largest owl pellet I've seen. It undoubtedly came from a great, horned owl based on its 6tze.

This pellet was interesting, not just because of its size, but because i t is composed mostly of skunk remains.

Owls canno t digest t h e fur and bones of i ts prey, so j u s t above the stomach all the hair and bones collect Into a com-pact pellet.

Before the owl eats again, the pellet is coughed up. The long.

, course ha i r s of the skunk are very v is ib le in this five-inch long, 1 1/2 -inch diameter pellet of fur and bones

Skunk have a very effective means of protection, but it is not infallible

According to Roland Baker's "Michigan Mammals," coyote, red fox. gray fox, fisher, badger, bobcat and lynx are all known

to eat skunk. Birds of prog r a v e n s , golden eagle an course, the great horned owl,;-also prey on skunk.

Ft's -a general rule that birds; have a poor sense of smell, so I« can understand why they might-ea t a s k u n k . But mammals!) h a v e a k e e n s e n s e of s m e l l y Why would they take a skunk0

Maybe they were REAL hun-gry-

S k u n k s a n d g r e a t h o r d e d owls remind me of another gift tha t came to the nature center |

«

A res iden t watched a grea'H ho rned owl e a p t u r e a s k u n k ! and take it to a perch. Unfortu-natelv. the owl misjudged the ] distance between its wings and t h e a d j a c e n t e lec t r ica l wires" and was electrocuted.

So t h e r e s i d e n t w a n t e d to know if we wanted an owl with a skunk clenched in its talons. It was a curiosity, so we said ' yes.

When we saw the. two con-nected and evaluated the situa-tion. we decided it wasn't worth it; so we buried them.

Skulls, spiders, snakes, scat i poop i and pellets are just some of the gifts and presents to the na tura l i s t . This is not a com-plaint . I'm glad to see people are curious about things they find in the outdoors
