■ Nice weather, children's activities make festival fun for families.
By Rita FischerSpecial Writer
Sunny weather, the prospect of sidewalk sale bargains and activities for children drew people from around the area to Chelsea Friday and Saturday for the 31st annual Summer Fest.
Co-coordinator Sue Lackey said the two- day event was “another in a long line of successful Summer Fests,”
"Crowds throughout both days were good, both downtown and at the Kid Zone,” she said.
C o m m ittee u n v e ils p la n s fo r lib ra ry■ Proposal calls for renovation of Me Kune House and addition.
By Michael RybkaSpecial W riter
The Chelsea D istrict Library’s Building and Planning Committee unveiled its recommendations for renovating the McKune House July 22 at a special meeting.
The committee, chaired by Jane Diesing and Lynn Fox, began its planning efforts in January, following a summer 2002 sjtudy by The Breton Group that found the community wo\ild support a sm aller expansion plan than pro
posed years earlier.As with the lib rary’s last
attem pt at a refu rb ished facility, rejected by voters in October 1999, the expanded facility would see the addition of a new structure attached to the rea r of a renovated McKune House, the form er library building on Main Street.
The building was the site of the library before structural problems forced it to temporarily relocate to the Washington Street Education Center, which the library has been renting from the Chelsea School D istrict at a cost of$120TOOO a year.

Traffic changes on Washington Street
Lackey said the Moon Walk and a new activity — the pie- and watermelon-eating contest sponsored by Chelsea .Recreation Council — were the big hits of the festival.
“Bill Ballagh of State Farm, and Metro Parent Magazine deserve a great deal of credit for taking last year’s popular Kid Zone to a new level,” she said. “And, of course, without McKinley (Associates) and the DDA, there would be no Summer £est.”
The downtown sidewalks were crowded with shoppers laden with loot as they tracked down bargains a t the sidewalk ■ sales, browsed at the used book sale at McKune House, or adm ired cars a t Friday’s classic car show.

■ Police to increase traffic enforcement.
By Gail M. TurluckSpecial W riter
Washington S treetbetween East and Madison streets in C helsea_ has become a temporary two-way street.
C helsea _ Police Chief Lenard McIDougall said the change is in effect until the construction project on Madison S treet , has been completed.
Chelsea Village Council approved the change at its meeting July 22, McDougall said both sides of Washington Street will be posted as no'parking.
“People are going two-way on Washington Street as it is,” he said! “When I check every now and then with the contractors (working on the
Madison Street project), they have said people are doing it all the time anyway.
“If that many people are doing it, then there ’s something wrong with the ordinance,” he said.
McDougall said the village .will deliver notices' to residents on the one-way section of Washington Street to notify them of the change.
T rustee Cheri A lbertson expressed concern for children in the area because of speeders.
“I know they speed as I ’ve almost been hit when I ’m out running there many tim es,” . she said,.
The Chelsea Police D epartm ent plans to increase traffic enforcem ent on side streets as part of its overall effort.

Residents fight to preserve Green Road■ Commissioners have 30 days to act on beauty road designation.
By Paul FletcherStaff Writer
Green Road slowly winds its way through woods and over hills, m eandering easily along like a lazy sum m er afternoon.
The unpaved road runs through land owned by the Michigan D epartm ent of N atural Resources in w estern Jackson County. It clocks in a t just over one m ile ..
The forests and fields along it are home to
several plants and anim als of special concern; .
The road is crossed in several places by hiking and horseback trails.
It’s a serene area, seemingly miles away from .anything, i
And residents of Waterloo Township want it to stay that way.-
About 40 of those'residents gathered at the Waterloo Township Hall last Wednesday to voice their opinions on Green Road to the Jackson County Road Commission.
The residen ts’ mission is to preserve , ' ■ ; ■ ■ See ROAD - Page 6 -A
There are several characteristics a road must have before being designated as a natural beauty road.. Among those are the presence of native trees, shrubs, wildflowers, grasses and ferns; and open areas yrtth scenic or natural vistas.
Usually, a road must be at least one-half mile in length before being considered. A natural beauty road can be paved, d irt or gravel, and norm ally must be used only as an access road.

Families headed to the Kid Zone for a host of activities, including art and crafts activities, magic, music, puppets, a dem onstration by the Chelsea High School flag corps and the pie- and water- melon-eating contest.
While festival-goer David Lange said he missed the music and food court and “the whole festival aspect,” others gave th is year’s Summer Fest a big thumbs up, especially the family-oriented activities!
“The Kid Zone is a great p lace,” Marlene Piasecki Beck said. “We’ll be back again.”
Lori Sober was another parent who found Kid Zone enjoyable.
‘‘The kids a re so excited to see the different things, that I’m left holding everything that they do,” she said.

Generator failure causes outage■ North end o f village and industrial park affected.By Sheila PursgloveAssociate Lditor
About 100 residents at the north end of Chelsea Village found them selves without power for most of the day Saturday.
Chelsea E lectric D epartment Superin tendent Bob Shepherd said Monday that work h-ad been scheduled Saturday morning on the industrial substation located on East Industrial Drive to rep lace a switch on the 46,000-volt line.
“It was an emergency situation,” Shepherd said. “We had to replace the switch or many more people could
have been without power for several days.”
Shepherd said three generators were to provide continuing power to customers during the work but one failed.
Power went out around 8:30 a.m. at Chelsea Milling Co., the Clock Tower complex, the industrial park, parts of Sibley Road and the area north of Lanewood subdivision, Shepherd said.
None of the area devoted to Summer Fest was affected, he said. A different substation supplies the downtown area.
A crew of eight employees from Chelsea' Light and Power, with help from three crew members and a supervisor from Consumers Energy and two engineers from
Novak Engineering, restored power to the industrial subdivision around 6 p.m.
“We apologize for the inconvenience,” Shepherd said. “W.e’re very committed
to service , and pride ou rselves on that. We don’t like anyone to be without power.
“Unfortunately it was an emergency situation that was beyond our control.”

“We are going to finalize with Tetra Tech as it’s the most econom ical,” Rosentre ter said. "It’s not the way I would choose, but it would take a lot of time to bring

“We are using (Fishbeck, Thompson) now for the new m em brane and expect to meet the three to five year life expectancy on it,” he said.

R osentreter said the testing is part of the original design, but Tetra Tech is using a phosphorus-based anti-sealant that cannot be discharged into the stream because of th e phosphorus content.
Council T rustee Cindy M acFarlan noted that waste is going to the treatm ent plant now.
“The eventual plan for waste from the drinking water plant was for direct discharge into the stream ,” Roberts said. “But, the phosphorus prevents us from
to work on the discharge permit.
Roberts said there is currently no piping for d ischarge from the Chelsea Drinking Water Treatm ent Plant.
“The supplier is ready,” Rosentreter said. “We can
get through the DEJQ in a month or two. We can start, monitor hardness in water and other param eters closely, and figure out what to do next.”

Residents, officials discuss fate of Conway RoadOak trees may face
ax if road widened.By Michael RybkaSpecial W riter
A decision on widening a section of Conway Road — and felling several mature oak trees — is set for next month.
Representatives from the W ashtenaw County Road Commission said at a July 22 on-site meeting that a decision to widen a section of the road to improve sight d istance for those exiting Witness Tree Lane would be made Aug. 12.
The recent meeting was held at the request of Dino and Sandra Milazzo, Conway Road residents- whose front yard borders an em bankment tha t would be removed.
The couple opposes^ the project because removal of the -entail uprooting several
of-way and no taking of land is required.
Washtenaw County Road Commission representatives at the m eeting included Norman Kennedy, chairman; Frank DelVecchio, director of rights-of-way; and Roy Townsend, d irector of engineering.
Also in attendance were Washtenaw County Road Commissioner Pam elaByrnes, Sylvan Township Board Trustee Earl Heller and about a dozen residents of Conway Road and Witness Tree Lane.
Sandra Milazzo asked for the reason behind the idea. to lower.the embankment.. H eller said SylvanTownship received a formal, written complaint about the sight-distance problem several years ago from Witness Tree Lane res id en t Brian

DelVecchio said that a lter receiving a copy of the complaint, the county was placed in the same position regarding potential liability.
England said he thought his complaint would lead to a section of Conway Road being lowered, not the removal of the embankment.
Byrnes said the county is required to follow state standards on site-distance visibility, which is 15 feet, and that the Witness Tree Lane egress did not meet the requirem ent.
In addition to the removal of the embankment, the project also calls for Witness Tree Lane to be heightened.
Several people suggested that the Road Commission redirect its energies to the intersection at Sibley and Conway roads, which they said is a much more serious problem than the one at Witness Tree Lane.

“The state wants a four- month and a 12-month (budget), but we’re hopeful that, with the new manager and the right preparation, we can still go with a 16-month budget,” Swartz said.
The village dipped into its reserves th is past year to meet overall expenses.
“Keep an eye on your fund balance.” Olejnik said, “You don’t start collecting funds until four months after your year end."

''Sexual abuse" refers to. unlawful sexual conduct or other kind.s of sexual impropriety between a child and an adult, or a child and a much older child. While a child is still a minor, the child’s parents or guardian must bring a lawsuit on the child’s behalfT'After a child becomes an adult, he or she may bring the lawsuit him- or herself. Many, states, have special rides for lawsuits brought by adults \vho suffered^sexual abuse as children. Sometimes state laws extend the time during which an adult can bring such a lawsuit (called a "statute of limitation’’). It is often difficult to win such cases,-as any evidence of the incidents) and damages has faded over time.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORP eo p le u su a lly h e lp ou t w h en ask ed
Like many, along with my family I spent time at the Summer Fest this year and enjoyed the experience. And like many, I also noticed that the event was not what it has been in years past.
The absence of the big stage, beer tent, live music, and many of the food vendors was a disappointment. .
An article in last week’s Chelsea Standard explained that the sealed-down Summer Fest was the result of a lack of funding and volunteers. A similar story regarding the Chelsea Community Fair also informed readers that this year’s Ladies’ Day has been canceled due to a lack of volunteers.
I think it’s likely that the various organizations that sponsor the Summer Fest and Chelsea Community F a ir experience circumstances we are all familiar with. A small cadre of the same people step forward year after year, helping out behind the scenes, performing the many thankless tasks that need to be done in order to pull off these community-wide events.
And after a time, those good folks sim ply expend their energy and desire and step aside with, seemingly, no one else to fill the void. This is unfortunate a n d , unnecessary because I know there are many people who would be happy to help out if only they are told of the need.
Like others, I would cer-

tainly have been willing to spend a few hours setting up, tearing down, manning a booth, emptying trash barrels, doing whatever needed to be done.
While I’m not in the position (nor have I earned the right) to take on an organizational role, I sure would have been willing to lend a hand. And I think there are a lot of people like me, especially those of us who arasom ew hat newer to the community, who would'see this as an opportunity to make an even stronger connection with others in the town we’ve grown to love.
Maybe there were concerted efforts to recruit volunteers for these events, and I just missed them. But I can’t recall seeing any posters or fliers or calls to the community-at-large for volunteers.
Perhaps the sponsoring organizations didn’t find it appropriate to look beyond their own memberships for assistance.
Yet, I think that the success of the Timber Town project demonstrates that while an on-going, year-round commitment to an organizational board or comm ittee might not be realistic for most people, there are many who are willing to pitch in for a few hours over a Weekend when asked.
I’ll bet that if sponsors and organizers more closely con- ■ sider new ways to “get the word out” that help is needed, many new volunteers will comb forward. Then these community events might be
restored to what they once were, while.reducing the burden on those generous people who already volunteer year-after year.

We enjoyed your article about the Big Brother-Big Sister Program in the July 17 edition. We would like to add this note about our grandson’s Big Brother, who has kept in close touch with him for alm ost 10 years and across hundreds of miles.
Our grandson, Kevin Proctor,'was living in Dallas and was assigned his Big Brother, Ken, while Kevin w as in elem entary school. They spent tim e together, going to ball games and movies, playing golf, and doing o ther fun activities.
Then, when Kevin was 12 years old, he and his mom moved back to Michigan. Ken continued to w rite or call him, always rem em bering him at birthdays and Christmas. They also spent time together a few times during summer vacations.
Ken is a wonderful example p f a Big Brother and a good role model for Kevin. A high point in their relationship came this year when Kevin graduated from Chelsea High School and Ken flew to Chelsea to see Kevin graduate. He wanted to be with him on this important day. What a great gesture.
What a good history they
had because of this program. Kevin and Ken are fortunate to have each other as “brothers” and friends.

This le tte r is in response to Doris Knott’s letter to the editor, “Parents should watch their children closely,” published July 10.
The le tter spoke of litter, such as cigarette boxes, pop caps and chip bags scattered on lawns. What surprised me most was the fact the Doris im m ediately assum ed that the litter was from children, and she continued to write about “kids these days” and how paren ts must be on guard for th e ir littering, smoking children.
While D oris’ conclusion
may hold some merit, I don’t believe it’s fair for her to associate litter and smoking with kids alone. She is only contributing to the false generalization and common misconception that all teens are music-blasting, cigarette- smoking, obnoxious troublemakers, who apparently litter the lawns. If we are, then hopefully we will soon grow out of this stage ju s t as many of the adults tpday once did.
I only ask one thing of Doris, and that is to realize the irony in the situation. Some adults are, in fact, "the kids” she makes us out to be. They are just as capable of. tossing a cigarette box onto someone's lawn as wTe are,
So, please, don’t just assume that all teens are out to.cause destruction. It's your responsibility as the mature adult to realize this.

The Lima Township Board met Monday to discuss its future role as a provider of municipal utilities.
Lima Township, along with the townships of Sylvan and Lyndon, comprise the Sylvan Water and Sewer Authority.
The board agreed to a tim eline outlined by the engineering firm Orchard, Hiltz & McCliment to facilitate its new responsibility.
Among the more important dates is an Aug. 25 joint study
--session—of-
and th e ir consultants that will review proposals specifying w here w ater and/or sewer districts are needed.
Also at the meeting, the group will finalize an invitational list for a public information workshop tentatively scheduled for Oct. 4.-
The workshop will explain the township’s plans for its water and sewer program, and establ ish a date for those in a ttendance to confirm their interest in its continuation.
Also at the meeting, the planning consultant firm of Carlisle-Wortman Associates has been contracted to work on a new master plan for the township. Its first scheduled

The board hesitated to hire the firm at its July 7 meeting when the agency outlined a two-phase plan that would have totaled either $25,000 or $22,000, depending on w hether the phases were done separately or together.
Township Supervisor Ken U nterbrink said at the time that Carlisle/Wortman might have overestimated the township’s needs, and he would contact the firm for a revised proposal.
The request was heeded as Ralph Pasola. a representative of Carlisie-Wortmart, presented an outline covering only the fftst of the two proposed phases for approximately $6,000.
he eliminated
and docum entation of the original proposal that allowed for the second phase to he delayed without increasing expenses.
In another matter, Unterbrink withdrew the recommendation he made July 7 to have Charles Schauer represent the Planning Commission on the Zoning Board of Appeals. The vacancy was a result of the resignation of Planning Commission Chairman Terry Wesner..
The take-back resulted from a legal opinion ren dered by attorneys of the Michigan Township Association,, who said that the commission’s representative on the ZBA had to reside strictly within Lima Township.
U nterbrink said that, because board m em bers bring in refreshm ents for meetings, he did not want the township’s representatives to be seen as overriding rules they impose on other hall users.
In another matter, Frank Modrzejewski, a Jackson County resident who builds hom es in Lima Township, inquired about liab ility issues concerning private roads.
Modrzejewski said tha t Hickory Hollow Lane, w here he owns land and has bu ilt a house, was established before the township adopted an ordinance that made p rivate roads confgrm to standards that allow for emer-

Of the 18.000 square feet. 14.380-square feet will be serv ice space, with McKune House providing another 1.200 square feet of public domain, as well as some 2.400 square feet of usable basement space.
Diesing said that population .statistics provided by the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments, combined with studies done by various library-oriented think-tanks; show that a27.000- square-foot structure is needed. She said that such a large structure is not feasible. however.
Nevertheless. Diesing said the statistics and studies were still given weight by including in the proposal an 8.500-sq u a re-foot. u n fi n i sh ed basement that, when the time is appropriate, could be finished io provide more usable space. The basem ent also will house the library's heating. cooling and electrical system s......... ..........
Diesing said the proposed library would house 46,000 lending items, fewer than the 54.500 estimate of the original proposal but more than the 37,800 its current facility allows it to shelve.
The proposal allows for 91 seats, fewer than .the 147 in the original proposal but more than the 40 in the current facility.
Diesing said the collective, conjoining structures would be called the McKune Memorial Library. Any confusion this might cause by the entity still being referred to as the Chelsea District Library was not addressed.
Diesing said the en tire project would total $9,2 million and includes, along with building costs, all fees, technology. infrastructure, opening day collection, furniture, property needs, site developm ent and other expenses.
With a "conservatively” projected offset of $1 million in private donations..Diesing said a bond levy of 0.75 mills would be required from tax-
payers to complete the project. Residents with homes
^valued at $200,000 would pay a tax of $75 per year.

He then asked if there was any controlling authority that could force everyone who uses the road to contribute to its upgrade if one resident applied for a perm it to do so.
“Not the way our zoning ordinance is written now,” Zoning Officer Joe Wesolowski said.
Trustee Greg McKenzie suggested that a variance could be requested to improve the road to less- tham eurrent standards to reduce the cost and make the idea more palatable to others.
U nterbrink said Modrzejewski brought up interesting issues that the board could not answer at the time.

Diesing said a lot of Creative thinking went into the comm ittee’s proposal and rooms have been reconfigured to be multi-functional. Specialty sections, once considered for distinct areas, were consolidated with related areas of interest. She said it has been done without compromising the essence of the collection or cutting services.
Community Education Director Jeff Rohr asked if the new structure could be maintained by the library’s current operating millage, which is about 1.63 mils. Library Director Metta Lansdale said an increase
Form al action will be taken at the Library Board's Aug. 12 meeting. Once the board approves size and budget param eters, architect Jim Mumby of Fanning- Howey Associates will begin the design process, which will probably conclude in October.
In another matter, the board approved the purchase of six, single-faced and five, double-spaced refurbished shelves for its current facility. They are expected to cost between $8,300 and $9,500.

Children ages 9 through 15 have had the opportunity this summer to enjoy weeklong outdoor activities at Cedar Lake Camp in the Waterloo Recreation Area,
The full utilization of the camp began last fall when the Michigan U nited Conservation Club agreed to a long-te rm lease with the D e p a rtm e n t of N atural Resources.
The Michigan United C onservation Club leased the M ill Lake campground u n t il two years ago, when the upkeep of the facility became too much of a burden tor the organization anc DNR.
The leasing of the Cedar Lake facility has allowed the dub~to continue its popular

Student Council AwardAllison Holmes (left) and Abbey Craft were given the Student Council Leadership Award June 5 at the Dexter High School Honors Convocation. Other award winners were Jacky Bastion, Josh Dillen, Larissa Felice and Melissa Arnett. The honor recognizes four-year participation and outstanding leadership in the organization.
Each week” approximately 75 kids attend the weeklong camps, which begin Sunday and end on Friday.
Michigan U nited Conservation Club wildlife specialist Jason Dinsmore said the success of the summer camp program is the result, in part, of the many outdoor and conservation-oriented clubs, as well as local volunteers.
One such local volunteer is Richard Taylor of Chelsea. He shares his knowledge of archery with the students each Tuesday evening.
“I discuss the evolution of archery to modern-day archery and hunting,” Taylor said.
Taylor is a former professional archer who won the 1998 International Bowhunting Organization World Championships with the lopg bow. He puts on the hourlong presentation to get kids interested in archery at a young age.
After his presentation, Taylor dem onstrates his archery skills.
"They have a b last,” hesaid.
A m ember of the Michigan United Conservation Club, Taylor said the success^jf the- camp and program have put Chelsea on the map.
"The kids really enjoy the camp, and other local people have dedicated a great deal of time to make the camp a special place,” he said.
The camp is divided into two age groups, 9- through 11- year-olds and 12- through 15- year-olds.
Furtherm ore, an advanced

camp for high school-age students is being explored.
Students participate in a mix of counselor and voluntee r instruction in the subjects of environmental education, canoeing, games, w ater and wildlife ecology, and forestry, to name a few.
Dinsmore, the camp director at Cedar Lake this summer, said each eight-week session was filled well in advance.
"On average, we see 25 to 30 percent of the kids come back,” he said.
The Michigan United Conservation Club has more than 500 affiliate clubs that sponsor scholarships for kids attending these camps.
"One-third of our kids come (to camp) from scholarships,” Dinsmore said.
The cost to attend summer camp is $300 a week. The cost covers room and board, and instructional costs for the cam p’s 15. part-tim e staff members.
Dinsmore said that in addition to instructional volunteers such as Taylor, Michig a n U n i t e d Conservation Club Board Trustee Bill Furtaw and Chelsea resident Neil Young Sr., among others,
have put in countless hours to enhance the cam p’s facilities and provide much-needed upgrades.
Furtaw provided plumbing and m aintenance work, while Young, a local excavator, brought sand to the Cedar Lake beach and built a rifle range.
“Neil has been a wealth of knowledge,” Dinsmore said.
Dinsmore and two other of
his part-tim e staff are certified by the state of Michigan to teach hunter safety to the young children while they attend camp.
Dinsm ore said he hopes that the summer camp will continue at Cedar Lake for m an-years to come.

PBy Erin RyderSpecial Writer
icture a horse.Picture a thorough
bred with an undistinguished racing career, but with a golden dispo
sition and an unknown talent for jumping hidden beneath the surface.
His name is Twosie and his career is ending.
Nbw picture a girl.Picture a talented rider, 12 years
old, who has outgrown her childhood mount and is searching for a horse of her own.
Her name is Halley, and with the help of the Communication A lliance to Network Ex- Racehorses, she is about to meet the love of her life in the form of a thoroughbred nam ed Twosie in need of a second chance.
Though the prem ise sounds like vintage Disney material, it’s precisely what happened four years ago, when Lima Township resident Halley Sissom’s life was forever changed by Twosie and the organization that brought them together.
Twosie was one of the first horses placed by CANTER in its founding years. Established in Michigan in
1997, the nonprofit organization now has affiliates in six states and New England. It’s a commission- free service that places unwanted or unsuccessful racehorses in new homes outside of the racing industry.
CANTER horses have gone On to excel in nearly every outlet offered in equestrian sport, from the speed and courage of eventing to the collection, and discipline of western pleasure.
Plymouth residen t Jo Anne Normile, a former racehorse b reed er and trainer, founded CANTER after receiving numerous requests from racing trainers for help in
finding new homes for the ir re tiring horses.
Prior to CANTER’s launch, a retiring racehorse’s prospects off the track were bleak.
“Dealers would come and buy horses by the truckload at meat price to sell at an auction,” Normile said. “Some might have gone to a loving home, but most loving families don’t buy their horses at auction.
“Trainers just knew they were going to auctions* which were attended by meat buyers. You don’t make your living on horses without loving them, but there was just no other outlet.”
Much has changed since then, both for the horses and Normile.
“It got so big from it just being me,” she said.
In 2002 alone, CANTER transitioned 232 Michigan racehorses into new careers. In total more than 1,100 horses have been -p laced
through the program.“In this state, there is a
_ warmth for the retiring thoroughbred racehorse,”
said Normile, who spoke to the state house of representative on behalf of Michigan
racehorses.The-eurrent situa
tion facing Michigan racing is a loss of betting revenue directly linked to
the building of casinos in Detroit and Windsor.
“Racehorses in Michigan are an e n d a n g e r e d species right now,” Normile said.
Legislation is currently pending that would both support curren t racers and provide funds to assist in tran sitioning them into ne,w careers. ;If t h e . legislation passes, Normile said- “We’ll be the catalyst t o - s ta rt thisthroughout the country." -
Twosie and Sissom were first
in tro d u c e d f o u r ,
years ago, when Sissom’s trainer, Sue Moessner oLParagon Farm s in. Ann Arbor, brought 'Twosie back from the track as a project horse.
“My tra iner went to the track, quite often and would bring back' track horses,” Sissom said. “I rode a lot of the horses she brought back to the barn. It looked good to the people in terested in buying the, horse to see a kid riding it. One day. she brought 'Twosie.”
CANTER horses arte>■•offered for sale through two outlets. They may e ither be listed by their racing trainer while still being run, or if they must be taken off the track imm ediately they .may .be pu rchased at m eat price (usually around $500) by CANTER and placed in a foster home.
Foster homes a re farms that agree to take a horse for an undeclared amount of time and care for it until a perm anent homo is found.
The screening process for foster homes is strict, and'consists of an interview with the farm’s veterinarian, and a tour of the farm, as well as several other requirements. There are currently 26 CANTER horses in foster care, spread among willing homes in the state.
Dexter resident Tina Luick has fostered six horses for the group in the past year, all of which have found homes.
“There were times that (Normile) would call and say. she needed a stall and I just happened to have one,” said Luick, owner of Sandhill Farm in Dexter.
At the end of the racing season in 2002, CANTER foster homes were flooded \ with 57 horses with nowhere else to go — the highest num ber in the group’s history.
Once a buyer is found, lie or she is thoroughly screened before purchasing the horse to ensure a suitable match-. Safety for both horse and owner is also a consideration heavily weighted in deciding whether a purchase may be made.
Most CANTER horses sell in 'die $1,000 to $3,000 range, depending on their disposition and soundness for other careers.
“I rem em ber Twosie was ready to go and had lots of energy. AIT he needed was a channel to put it into,” Normile said.
Track horses- p resen t several unique challenges to riders and trainers, Racehorses usually begin serious campaigning at 2 or 3 years old — ages at whigh most horses are just being introduced to the concept of work.
The early strain on young joints and muscles can take its toll in the form of pulled tendons and bone chips, injuries that can be debilitating.
Even Twosie has one minor bone chip, though he was declared sound for jumping.
Beyond physical challenges, racehorses bring special concerns in the retraining process.
As a racer, the horse’s single job is to run counterclockwise, and to stop within half a mile when instructed to slow down. Because the horses only run in one direction, those pursuing other careers must train them, almost from the ground up. to balance themselves when moving to the right.

PAWS FOR THOUGHTWith the recent release of
the horseracing epic “Seabiscuit,” many people may be wondering what happens to horses when the ir racing careers a re over? Unfortunately, for many, a peaceful retirem ent will not be th e ir fate.
Even top-winning race- horses cannot be ensuredthat th e ir lives will not end at a slaughterhouse.
On July 21, the online ver- sion of Bloodhorse magazine ( w w w . b l o o d h o r s e . c o m ) repo rted F erd inand , a
Kentucky Derby winner, Horse of the Year and winner of close to $4 million, was probably slaughtered last year in Japan, where he was sold in 1994.
Sadly, th is end is not unusual, especially for horses sold to other countries where land to house pensioned horses is a t a prem ium or th e ir culture views horses more as a food source than as companion animals. It also happens in the
. United States, where excess and unwanted horses of all kinds a re k illed and processed for pet food and other products.
Luckily, some horse lovers in Michigan have founded a program to help unwanted and retired racehorses find-
in 1997 by Jo Anne Normile and her husband.
They originally raced two of their own hom ebred horses and successfully tran sitioned th e ir most recen t racehorses to the sport of eventing. During th is racing period* Jo Anne served on the board of d irectors of the Michigan H orsem an’s Benevolent and P rotection Association.. This organization re p re sents Michigan’s 1,200 thoroughbred r a cing tra in e rs and owners. CANTER was founded a fte r rep ea ted requests from tra in e rs to help find non-racing homes for the ir horses.
Although CANTER originated in Michigan, there are
-now—affilia tes innew and loving homes. West Virginia, New England
This organization, called and a CANTER is starting in CANTER, which stands for Texas, the Communication Alliance Through th e ir Web s ite , to Network Thoroughbred w w w .canterusa.org, CAN- Ex-Racehorses, was founded TER provides the means for
the public to view horses that a re ending their racing careers and are available for purchase. What makes CANTER so unique is it was conceived, developed and im plem ented by the racing industry itself.
CANTER volunteers have track licenses and walk the shed rows and on the backside of the racetrack, taking listings and photographs for posting on th e ir Web site. There are no commissions paid to these volunteers by e ither the buyer or the seller.
This allows potential buyers to see what the horse looks like and read some basic inform ation on size, age, tem peram ent, contact
sible lim itations for future riding use that might apply.
Armed with this information, anyone seriously in te rested can contact the seller, se tu p an appointm ent to see
the horse in person, and decide if this might be his or her next equine companion.
If a new horse might be in your future and you have the means, time, patience and skill, consider purchasing a racehorse after th e ir time on the track is over. They are not the kind of horse for everyone, but in the right hands th e re is no b e tte r equine athlete than a thoroughbred.
F inancial donations a re always welcomed and CANTER Michigan is a nonprofit organization, meaning donations are tax deductib le . You can donate directly from the Web site or by calling 1-734-455-0639 with your
credit card handy. Checks or money orders may be mailed to CANTER of Michigan, 10801 Last Drive, Plymouth, M I48170
In just the past few days, CANTER has started a special F e rd in an d Fund in memory of a great American racing cham pion whose probable end cam e in a slaughterhouse far away from his birthplace.
Let’s hope,, with our support, th e unnecessary slaugh te r of racehorses with a full life ahead them can be stopped.

HORSESContinued from Page 1-B
“As a track horse, Twosie had only been run to the left, so training him just to walk, trot and canter to the right took a long tim e,” Sissom said.
However, racehorses also have benefits that other young horses do not. As racers, they must be in perfect athletic form. There are few conditioning hurdles to cross before the horse can be shown. They have also had far more life experiences than most other young horses.
Racehorses in general also have excellent grouhd manners, as they are handled so regularly in the course of everyday life at the track.
“All of the horses have been very easy to handle from the ground,” Luick said of her foster charges.
Though only 12 years old at the tim e of purchase, Sissom took on the responsibility,
: with some assistance from her trainer, for Twosie’s con-
; version from racehorse to jumping superstar.
"I d idn’t know he was right ; at first,” Sissom said. “I was ; young and we were both still■ learning things, but I Jike to• think that we learned togeth- ; er. It took a good year for us to• click, but once we did, he was- a dream to ride. He just need- T ed time to switch gears from 1 running to being calm and* collected in the show ring.; “I rem em ber the first time ; I rode him. We laid poles on : the ground and when Twosie I saw them, he started shaking- and would walk over them > shaking. His ta len t devel-■ oped slowly, but once he ; understood what we wanted -V him to do, he was a star.”: His talent has developed to: the point that he and Sissom ; have placed in state champi
onships for two d iscip lines— jumping and dressage — and have won numerous awards in th ree day eventing.
’ Three-day eventing is sport ? which combines dressage — : a sport of quiet harmony and : control —: cross-country
jumping, which is jumping a 1 variety of natural obstacles l such as logs with an empha- ; sis on speed, and stadium* jumping, a sport of precision 7 where downed poles count as v faults and the fastest and ft most flawless ride wins.; The combination of these : events requ ires versatility, !, speed and precision. Last
year, Sissom and Twosie won the ex-racehorse eventing trophy for Michigan. This honor signified that out of all the ex-racers in the state, Twosie accum ulated the most points for the season.
While Sissom and Twosie are winning, the organization that brought them together is suffering from a pronounced lack of funds.
"We just try to limp our
way through and do what we can ,” Norm ile said. “Our funds have not grown along, with the num ber of horses tha t we transition. We’re really doing this out of our own pockets.
“With fall approaching, our intake of horses will wildly escalate. We always need more foster homes, and we have dozens of horses available, just looking for new
careers.”Normile can be contacted
at 1-734-455-0639 or through the group’s Web site, www.canterusa.org.
“CANTER is great program for helping ex-racehorses,” Sissom said. “Thoroughbreds have so much heart and are very willing. Ju st knowing you helped save a horse is a great feeling.”

It hasn’t been easy for M argaret Schick, But, then again, nothing worth earning ever is,
After beginning her softball career at Michigan State University as a little-known freshm an from small-town Chelsea, Schick ended her Spartan years in the spotlight, starting at shortstop in the NCAA regional .finals against eventual national champion UCLA.
— Despite falling 5.-0 to _ traditionally strong Bruins,
MSU, which finished its season ranked No. 19 in the country with a 40-19 overall record, showed itself well.
The same could be said about Schick throughout her Spartan career.
“Margaret is so special,” said Michigan State softball coach Jacquie Joseph. “I never handed her anything. She flat out earned everything she got. She wasn’t anointed anything.”
What Schick earned in her final season at MSU is quite impressive.
Besides being selected a captain, Schick was named third-team All-Big Ten as a shortstop. She batted .275, scoring 35 runs and stealing 27 bases this year. For her career, Schick ended up as the Spartans’ all-time leader in stolen bases with 81. She also holds the single season record for stolen bases, with 28, set last year.
She earned third-team Academic All-American honors, spbrting a 3.9 grade point average in human biology.
Along with MSU football player Joe Tate, the Big Ten Conference named Schick the Outstanding Sportsman- ship Award winner for the Spartans.
“That was a huge honor,” Schick said of h e r award. “I
didn’t know I was up for it. I p ride myself on working hard. I ’m glad people noticed.”
And noticed is what Schick became, after acclimating herself to big-time college softball. The process, however, was a slow one.
“I never imagined I’d have
would pitch to me, and that was a huge help .”
As a left-handed hitter, Schick could take advantage of h e r speed, running out ground balls for base hits.
“I became pretty good at it,” Schick said of batting left-handed. “I would slap
_the_ball to third base or the
7-ranked Georgia and host school Fresno State.
The NCAA tournam ent was a new, but exciting experience for Schick.
“I had never been to the postseason before,” she said. “I had never even been to the Big Ten tourney. When we finished third (in Big Ten),
the success I’ve had,” said Schick, who began her MSU career on a partial scholarship,. but bv the end of hersophomore year had earned a full-ride scholarship. "I rem em ber being very nervous. I struggled a lot my freshman year.My first at-bat,I had an RBI. It was all downhill from there.”
As a freshman, Schick, a r ig h t-h a n d e d batter, played in 41 games, collecting'' She hit in 13 at- bats. As a sophomore, she switched to a left-handed hitting style, and contributed eight hits in 51 plate appearances. -
While playing well in the field for the Spartans, Schick felt she needed to improve as a hitter. After her sophomore season, she sought help from legendary Michigan prep coach Marty DeJong. DeJong’s daughter Keri, was a pitcher on MSU’s team at the time, and a good friend of Schick’s.
DeJong, who helped build a prep softball dynasty at Kalamazoo Christian, winning six state titles from 1996 through 1999 and In 2000 and 2002,, agreed to help Schick out during the off-season.
“I sought him out,” Schick said. “I ’d drive down to Kalamazoo once or twice a week over the summer for an hour or two workout. He
shortstop and beat the throw (to first base).”
Joseph m arveled at Schickjs determ ination and effort to improve as a left- handed hitter.
“It’s unusual to do, espec ia lly a s "late as she did
she said.
“I remember being very nervous. I struggled a lot my freshman year.”

it,” “It
really allowed her to take advantage of her speed. She could drop a bunt down, or slap it. It opened the field up for her."
In her junior season, Schick
batted a crisp .290, recording 45 hits in 152 at-bats. She also scored 33 runs. Her off-season work, and subsequent improved junior year, set the table for her final go-round.
In 2003, the Spartans finished third in the Big Ten, with a 13-6 record. MSU was 3-0 against in-state rival Michigan. Joining Schick on MSU’s squad this season was form er Chelsea standout sophomore Jennifer Diesing.
“That was the first time I ever beat Michigan," Schick said. “The third time we beat them, we sent them home from the Big Ten tournament. That was a great feeling.”
Also a great feeling was being a part of the Spartans’ NCAA run.
P rio r to facing UCLA, Michigan State defeated No.
we knew we were in (NCAA tournament).
“At the NCAA tournam ent we played really well. Everything kind of came together at the right time. Nobody knew anything about us.”
Schick said she’d never forget squaring off against UCLA in the regional finals.
“I definitely tried not to look at the jersey,” she said. “I told myself to play the game, not the jersey.”
Schick took her own advice, breaking up the UCLA pitcher’s no-hitter, getting MSU’s first base hit of the game, midway through the contest.
“That was cool,” Schick said.
Also pretty cool was the way Schick, a 1999 Chelsea High- School graduate who helped lead the Bulldogs to the state final her senior year, improved every season as a Spartan.
“In the beginning, she had some skills,” said Joseph, who recently completed her 10th year as MSU coach. “Then she came to our program and worked hard. She Refused to make excuses. She achieved her goals through hard work, Most kids complain about what they don’t get, Margaret never made an excuse. She would ask me what she needed-to do to get better, and then she’d do it.”

Tallman retired last season after teaching at Chelsea High School for more than 30years.
Ewald, a 1978 Chelsea graduate and a form er Bulldog golfer, said he loves the sport.

Currently, and historically, it is the responsibility o f state and local government to publish public and legal notices here in Michigan's
newspapers. This paper you’re holding right now is a historical document, printed and published with a date on every page. And its pages hold
your right to know what the government is doing in your community.
In fact, it's law, 1
In our democratic society your newspaper fulfills an essential role in
serving your right to know. After all, it shouldn't be your responsibility
to know how to look, where to look or when to look, let alone to know
what you're looking for to be informed. That is why you have, and
read, your newspaper, where public notices are published with
accountable circulation and presented to you on these pages in clear
black and white.

LOSTSTREAM
MAP
The STREAM MAP OF MICHIGAN resembles another map-known to' Pennsylvania anglers as the ‘Lost Stream Wap.* ■The "Steam Map of Pennsylvania’
was completed in 1965 after a thirty-, year effort by Howard Higbee, a former .Penn Slate Professor.
Professor Higbee succeeded in. creating a map ofthe highest detail possible—a map that shows every .stream and lake. He painstakingly: 'plotted by handing location of 45,000 miles of streams onto a 3 by 5 foot mail. ’ : ■ ■ ■ •The map sold extremely well—until it
was lost several years-after it first appeared ip print. Incredibly, the printer . entrusted with the original drawing and printing plates, declared bankruptcy, then carelessly hauled Higbee’s 30 years of work to a landfill, , 1 The lew remaining dog-eared copies
became a prized fisherman’s . ' possession. Prolessor Higbee was offered $400 for one of his last maps.; And state agencies were forced lo keep their copies under lock key.Experts told Professor Higbee thatl
reprints were impossible, because the, maps were printed iii non-photographic blue.Then, in 1991 at the age of 91, '
Howard Hlghee's dream came true. Computers made if possible to reprint the map. Holding an updated map, Howard said.'I never thought I'd live to see this day.’ >Then, by combining Professor
Higbee's knowledge with computer technology—the STREAM MAP OF MICHIGAN was created.

Dexter D oteM iss D exter D azenew toBy Paul FletcherStaff Writer
To win the 2003 Miss Dexter Daze Scholarship Pageant, you don’t have to be rich, famous or even pretty.
But you have to be smart.The pageant was added to this year’s
D exter Daze festival as a way for organizers to give back to the community and promote academics.
Contestants are required to write a 500- 1,000-word essay on the question “How have your community experiences shaped who you are?” There also are two question-answer sessions with judges, one will be in a public forum during the Friday portion of the festival.
Dexter Daze entertainm ent chairwoman Karen Meyer , Bentley explained the birth of the pageant.
“T hat’s a good thing to dtt,” she recalls thinking a fte r a com m ittee m em ber threw out the idea. “We’ll fit the c rite ria around the scholarship program.”
The pageant is lim ited to girls ages 14 through 18, or en tering ninth through 12th grades this school year.
B o d y o f W o r kChildren will finds lots to do at Dexter Daze Aug. 8 and 9. From face painting to magic, activities abound for children during the annual festival. Magician Zeemo the Magnificent will hit the stage 12:30 p.m. Friday in Monument Park, followed by Lisa Hunter, who present “Living Earth,” and the Miss Dexter Daze pageant at 3:30 p.m.
C tu&
ifriatinea.

The w inner will receive a $500 savings bond to use toward higher education.
“The (idea) is to use it toward school,” Bentley said.
Although pageant organizers received only five entries, Bentley isn’t discouraged, and said the event will become an annual part of the festival.
“I was a little panicked at first,” she said.
The pageant will accomplish its original goals to bring something new to the festival and help further the education of a local youth.' “We’re always looking for ways to
give back to the commuhity,” Bentley said.
Miss Dexter Daze will be crowned Aug. 9 after the 10 a.m. parade.
After one contestant dropped out last week, the four rem aining girls are 16-year-old Chelsea Jones, 16-year-old Lisa Featherly, 17-year-old Caitlin Van Steenis and 17-year-old Brittney Eklund.

D ttd w D o c eCenter to m ark 10th ‘birthday’By Paul Fletcher 1 1 7Staff,Writer
It's intergenerational.And it’s working. *Ten years ago, Generations Together
opened in Dexter. The facility was designed specifically as a day-care center for young people as well as the elderly.
But the unique feature of the center is the p lanned activities in which the young and old participate together.
“These two groups have tim e to share ,” said Lee Tracy, executive director of the center.
G enerations Together offers day care for children age 6 weeks to 12 years old. Tracy said i t ’s a learning experience for the kids to spend time with the older folks.
“We believe that improves the quality of life for our kids,” she said.
In turn, she added, the appearance of a child can quickly-light up the face of an elderly person.
G enerations Together opened in Septem ber 1993 at 2801 Baker Road. The staff is planning a 10th birthday celebration at noon Aug. 9 during the Dexter Daze festival.
Tracy is hoping to see some familiar

faces.“We’ve got kids who started here
when they were four years old,” she said. “We’re hoping people will come back and see us.”
Party plans include a barbecue picnic and other activities, including a moon bounce and a dunk tank. Cotton candy, popcorn and balloons also will be available. Events will be held under a ten t on the front lawn.
Generations Together is very near its capacity of 143 kids and 18 adults.
“We’re full,” Tracy said. “We’ve got a waiting list in every room.”
The daily , agenda for kids, Tracy
said, is very sim ilar to pre-school activities, except for the tim e they spend with adults.
The building th a t houses Generations Together was the first one in Michigan designed specifically with separate areas for kids and adults, and with shared areas, Tracy said.
Although kids have a classroom-like setting, staff members strive to make the adults feel like they’re s i t t i n g ^ th e ir own living room at home.
Tracy believes that’s what makes the center popular.
“I think that definitely contributes to the success,” she said.
Two-year-old Landon Harrison (left) and 1-year-old Shane Greenfield are regular visitors to Dexter’s Generations Together. The facility, which offers day care for kids and intergenerational activities for children and adults, w ill celebrate its 10th anniversary during Dexter Daze.
