A mistake by an employee of a lawn service company grooming the lawn at Independence Village caused the evac­uation Monday of some 200 residents, sent one resident to the hospital and generally wreaked havoc for most of the day

The lawn service employee backed his lawnmower into a two-inch high- pressure line and ruptured it, causing a gas leak that kept the residents of the senior assisted living facility, located on

Northville Road m Plymouth Township, out of their apartments until 3 p m

The incident occurred shortly before 10 a m , when the Plj-mouth Community Fire Department respond­ed to a 9-1-1 call reporting the gas leak By the time firefighters responded, Independence Village officials were already getting residents out of the building

They were in the process of evacuat­ing when we got there,’ said fire chief Larry Groth, who said help was also sought from the city and township police departments and the Northville Fire Department “They were brought out into the hot sun, and many of them have medical problems ”

Wayne County officials are hoping that a $15 million boost in federal funding IS key to getting the city of Plymouth involved m the $9 6 million Sheldon Road underpass project once again

The city dropped out of the project April 21 because of escalating cost esti­mates, which rose from $503,250 to $719,783

Without Plymouth agreeing to pay its share, the project came to a stand­still

But Wayne County immediately went to woi^k looking for additional sources of funding, said Mike Darga, division design engineer with Wayne County As a result, Plymouth’s share

Police make bank robbery arrestBY HEATHER NEEDHAMSTAFF WRITER

Whether it’s college students cramming for a final or police trying to crack a case, it can pay off big to exchange notes

This proved to be true when Canton, Plymouth Township and Ann Arbor Police all worked

together to nab a suspect thought to be connected with at least five bank robbenes since February

A 40-year-old Ypsilanti man is expected to be arraigned in 35th Distnct Court today on unarmed robbery and/or bank robbery charges in connection with sepa­rate bank robberies in Canton and Plymouth Ibwnship Bank

robbery carries a heftier sentence of up to life m prison, while unarmed robbery carnes a maxi­mum 15-year sentence

The Canton robbery was reported at 2 30 p m Tuesday at the TCF Bank at Canton Center and Ford The Plymouth

PCAC colors leadership 'Greene' with new directorBY BRAD KADRICHSTAFF WRITER

Stella Greene brushed aside most of the talk about her pro­motion last week to executive director of the Plymouth Community Arts Council

Instead, she’s more exated about the direction the PCAC board took when it approved a newly constructed administrative

team she feels is poised to take the arts council m exciting new directions

Greene, who had served as the PCAC’s development director since September 1999, was named executive director effec­tive June 11 She replaces Jennifer Tobin, who left the PCAC earlier this year to head up the arts program m Canton Ibwnship

I t ’s a wonderful opportunity to be involved in one of ihe most dynamic organizations m the community,” said Greene, who also served as president of the PCAC board m 1997-99 “(But) I’m really excited about the board’s gutsy decision to move forward on plaang the arts as a primary force in the community,

MONEYFROM PAGE A1

will likely remain at $503,250, and the township’s share just more than $15 million

“We’re prepared to make (the underpass) a reality,” Darga said “We’ve had the money approved by the federal aid committee and we’re putting together a revised package ”

He said he hopes to bnng the revised proposal to the city within a couple of weeks

Plymouth city officials said they would approach any new underpass proposals cautious­ly

“I would need some assur­ances that the county is m fact moving forward and there weren’t any additional costs that we’re not aware of,” Commissioner Stella Greene said

The city has already commit­ted to moving money previous­ly earmarked for the underpass to local street projects

‘We're going to certainly have to rethink how we come up with (underpass) funding, because we’ve designated that funding for street projects within the aty,” Greene said

"I’ve always been in favor of the underpass and hope we can find a creative solution to see it move forward, but I have reservations about how we c£in come up with money”

Mayor Bill Graham said the coun ts latest move is not sur­prising since he and Commissioner Dan Dwyer have been meeting with couhty engineers about underpass funding

“I would not feel comfortable taking It back to aty commis­sion for any more discussion until (Wayne County) makefe a proposal that will keep costs where t h ^ were ongmally,” Graham said

Committing again to the underpass does not mean that local street projects will be put on hold

W e’ve had (underpass) money sitting around in bond proceeds,” Graham said

The a ty of Plymouth does not have the most to gam from having an underpass

“I’m 60 years old and have dealt with trams all my life — the biggest advantage is for Plymouth Township and for our neighbors in Canton Township,” Graham said

A better option may have been to build an overpass —

instead of an underpass — on Beck Road before the mdustn- al parks went m, said Graham, who pointed out Beck is more of a major artery, extending from Michigan Avenue north to Grand River, while Sheldon ends m Northville

"It may have been less expensive,” the mayor said

Plymouth Ibwnship Supervisor Steve Mann said he hopes Plymouth gets on board again

W e are obviously very pleased, we’ve been committed to the project since the original agreement back in 1999 ”Mann said “Obviously we’re very pleased that it might m turn save us some money, so we can use the money for some other local projects ”

Mann said he did not agree that the underpass wiU not benefit the city as much as it will the township.

“I don’t see how, I think it benefits both of us equally,” he said. “Obviously it provides a safer route for emergency vehi­cles traveling through the city and helps get residents to and from the expressway more quickly”

Foundation hands out $38k in annual scholarshipsB Y T O N Y B R U S C A T OSTAFF WRITER

The Wilcox Foundation has awarded $38,000 m college scholarships to 17 high school seniors who participated in an essay contest designed to teach students about the history of Plymouth

The foundation was estab­lished by Jack Wilcox, a life­long resident of Plymouth, who died in June 2000 He wanted the foundation to benefit the Plymouth and Canton commu­nities and encourage interest in local history while at the same time assisting m the edu­cation of students who reside m Plymouth and Canton

“liie program, unlike many scholarship programs, is not aimed solely at the top aca­demic students, but rather is interested in promoting broad partiapation by Plymouth and Canton youth m learning about the history of Plymouth,” said Win Schrader, a member of the Wilcox Foundation committee Accordingly, the criteria for selecting participants will be centered around the time and effort put into research, resQurcefulness in tracking down sources of information and interest shown by the stu­dent

This year, students were required to interview Plymouth residents who are at least 80 years old and have lived in Plymouth for at least 40 years

Kyle Zink, a senior at Salem High School who received the top $4,000 scholarship, liked the idea “You can go to the his­torical museum and look up information, but unlike a pho­tograph you get opmions and background information from someone with first-hand knowledge,” said Zink of Plymouth Township, who said he will study busmess or law at the University of Michigan ‘I learned that Plymouth history isn t flashy and exciting, but it

has a stoned history”Karen Burba of Canton

To^vnshlp, a senior at Ladywood High School, said she learned about the old Mayflower Hotel and the Plymouth-Canton school dis- tnct while talking with Ralph Held “I learned a lot about the Mayflower Hotel and how it was the center of politics,’ said Burba, who won a $1,500 scholarship and plans to become a psychology ma;|or at theU-M “He also thought It was visionary to buy all fliat land where the high schools now are, with the onginal plan to build four high schools there

“I liked the essay contest because the judges get a better feel for who you are and your abilities, rather than just see­ing an application,” Heid said “A lot of people have great grade point averages, but this shows real abilities

In fact, Held also thought

the essay contest about the his­tory of Plymouth was a good idea ‘ I thought it was a great ideabecause it makes jou go back to your roots,” said Heid, who moved to Plymouth m the 1950s “I told her what the com­munity was like at that time It was just a small community then, but it’s grown a lot’

Especially from its early days as a railroad town

‘The crossing in downtown Plymouth made it a center for commerce, for the Alter Car and the Daisy Rifle Company,’ said Matthew Vivian of Plymouth

Vivian said after graduation from Salem High School, he 11 use his $3,000 scholarship to study engmeenng at the University of Michigan

The Wilcox Foundation scholarships can be used for any form of post high school education, including trade schools

Plymouth police are working with several other law enforce­ment departments to deter­mine if four people caught with a stolen monitor from Dick Scott Dodge belong to a crew believed to be breaking into vehicles at dealerships around metro Detroit

Det Jamie Grabowski said he s had contact with authori­ties in IVoy and Sterling Heights to see if those apprehended May 30 are also responsible for vehicles vandalized in those communi­ties

According to Grabowski, it started when Officer Kevin Chumney stopped a car for running a red light m the early

morning hours‘ He became suspicious and

called in the K-9 unit from Plymouth Ibwnship,” said Grabowski, who noted Officer Steve Cheston and his dog, Hogan, arrived soon afterward “Hogan hit on drugs, and when they opened the trunk the offi­cers found marijuana and a tel­evision screen

“The officers had the sus­pects take off their shoes, where typically drugs are hid­den, and they found a piece of paper with a list of about 10 car dealerships,” said Grabowski

Grabowski said one of the car dealerships listed was Dick Scott Dodge at the corner of Ann Arbor Road and Mam Street When police checked the lot, they found a van had

been vandalized“All four were arrested and

released pending a warrant,” said Grabowski, who said fin­gerprints are being analyzed by Michigan State Police to deter­mine which of the suspects vandalized the van in Plymouth, and if they match those found in other communi­ties

We believe there’s a crew runnmg around the area,” said Grabowki

Grabowski said Lou LaRiche Chevrolet on Plymouth Road m Plymouth Township was hit the same night, and vehicles at Blackwell Ford, down the street from LaRiche, were van­dalized two nights later

LEAKFROM PAGEA1

Plymouth Township municipal services departments respond­ed as did officers from both police departments Officials finm Consumers Energy arrived about 30 minutes later, and told Groth and city man­ager Paul Smcock it would take an underground crew to dig and repair the leak

At that point, the decision was made to move the resi­dents to the Plymouth Cultural Center

Clearly, we were looking for a place to move those folks,” Smcock said “We checked availability and resources, and the Cultural Center seemed like the closest location we could accommodate that num­ber of people

Once at the Cultural Center, Smcock said, the problem became making sure the sen­iors were taken care of

That included lunch, a daunting prospect on a half- hour notice

But the folks at Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken came through

Ttying to gather lunch for 200 on 30 minutes notice is a tough thing to do, Smcock conceded Lee s Chicken was extremely helpful to us

“This was a great example of intergovernmental coopera­tion, and cooperation between public and pnvate, on all lev­els, Smcock said

Without it, you could be writing an entirely different story’

The all-clear came around 3 p m , when officials cleared the building for the residents Vehicles from Plymouth- Canton schools, the Plymouth Salvation Army and the Plymouth senior transporta­tion authonly helped move the residents between Independence Village and die cultural center

In addition to promoting Greene as the full-time direc­tor, the board approved the hiring of

■ An artistic public relations coordinator, who will be responsible for maintaining the programs the PCAC runs

■ An arts education coordi­nator, who would, among other duties, continue the PCAC s efforts with local schools

“Arts education has always been our driving force and pri­mary function, Greene said

■ An administrative manag er to coordinate facility issues and other administrative func tions The position is neces sary Greene said, because of the PCAC s growth, having added another building last year

‘(The board) recognizes we’ve grown significantly, so the administrative manager

will have the opportunity to make sure our facilities are managed professionally,’ Greene said Greene is waiting on approval of the board to offiaally fill the three posi­tions In the meantime, she’s turning her immediate atten­tion to issues such as technolo­gy, including working on the PCAC’s Web site and “keeping the PCAC m touch with the people we serve

She also is happy to serve as the point person ’ the face of the council who will be accountable for all of its pro grams facilities and functions

I ve had the opportunity as development director to estab hsh relationships with a lot of people in the community, and I’m going to maintain and build on those,” Greene said “I m proud to have the oppor­tunity to do that

Township bank robbery was reported June 11 at the Ann Arbor Road Standard Federal

The characteristics in both robberies was reportedly simi­lar, with the undisguised sus­pect approachmg the counter, ordering the teller to put money m a magazine he ear­ned, and walking out with the money tucked inside

Sgt Bob Antal of the Plymouth Ibwnship police said the suspect never produced or implied a weapon in any of these cases

Antal said he was listening to the police radio when he heard about Cantons robbery on Tuesday He noticed the physi­cal descnption of the suspect was similar to the description of the suspect in the Standard Federal bank robbery

Not only that, but the Ann Arbor Police Department were in on the huddle, too, thanks to an anonjmious tipster

‘We compared Canton’s video and positively identified the suspect as being the same one that was mentioned in Ann Arbors tip, Antal said

The suspect was ultimately arrested without incident at a gas station on Michigan Avenue four hours after the Canton bank robbery was reported

‘At this point we have him tied to at least five bank rob­beries,’ Antal said

Plymouth Township Police Chief Tom Tidenngton said the suspeirt apparently had some

heroin ni his possession, and allegedly admitted frequenting Detroit casinos after robberies

The suspect has an extensive criminal record, riddled with charges of larceny, retail fraud, home invasion and more, according to Antal

Basically because of the interagency cooperation between Plymouth, Canton, Ann Arbor and our (Western Wayne) Community Response Team, information was put together and put out to otter agencies fairly quick,” Antal said There was real good interdepartmental cooperation and working together ’

The Western Wayne Community Response Team is a multijunsdiction major crimes unit compnsed of olfi- cers from Canton, Plymoulh Township, Northville Township, Michigan State Police an(i the Wayne County Sheriff s Department

Canton police Sgt Todd Mutchler said he expected he suspect to face a bank robbry charge, which carries a maJJ- mum life sentence

This IS an example of hcv inter agency information aid sharing helps to bring aboia successful resolution m enm- nal investigations, Mutchbsaid Canton has had four ttik robberies this year and all cases have been solved Plymouth has also had sevel robberies, each of which ha ended with an arrest

‘ I guess the moral of the story here is everyone gets arrested,’ Tidenngton said

detection Survive Fight back Hope All these are words that survivors of breast cancer use frequently and they mean them “The sad thing is how many younger women are going to be diagnosed and mis­diagnosed this year,” survivor Pat Hamer of Canton said

When diagnosed, Hamer wasn t surpnsed She was terri­fied, but certainly it didn’t take her by shock “I took HRT (hormone replacement thera­py, used for menopause)and I took It knowing the risks I somehow knew I would get i t”

Pam Popejoy of Canton, who will be a six-year survivor m August, fears for her daughter Popejo/s mom is a 13-year sur­vivor My daughter feels doomed in terms of it will hap­pen to her, too ’

Shan Franko of Plymouth calls herself the perfect exam­ple of someone with no predis­position to the cancer “I was a good example of someone who was younger, no family history and led a good healthy lifestyle,’ she said

Robin Dahlman was absolutely shocked when she got her diagnosis “I was naive to how important self-exami­nation is ”

Survivors offer a unified voice ofhope to women early detection Simply, it saves lives

It IS all about early detec­tion It IS what makes a dififer- ence between life and death,” Franko said

Hamer reminds all women — young, ipiddle-aged and older — one in every eight will be diagnosed with breast can­cer ‘ It IS amazing to me how many women I have met who have had breast cancer,” she said Hamer found her cancer herself with self-examination “I do It monthly” Linda Grube, who is involved in Race for the Cure because of the frieifd she lost, is faithful about self- examination

Self-exams and faithful adherence to mammograms doesn t mean you won’t get breast cancer But the earlier found, the better are your chances

I’m anxious now when I get

tneir own 900a neaitn Uu* sne aiso cs "Don't be afraid It can I

the results,” Grube smu, ucdpitc considenng herself faithfid at self-exam and physiaan visits

Karen Ballelli, who walks with Team Canton, is matter of fact about early detection “If you have it, find out and get it out,” she said

Hamer has additional advice m addition to self-exam If your instincts feel uneasy when a doctor tells you your concern is nothing, find another doctor Insist on a biopsy and then get yet another opinion

“Don’t let a doctor td l you, ‘Oh, it’s nothing’ Chances are it IS nothing But what if it is’ Thke charge of your ovm health,” Hamer said

Dahlman says she isn’t naive anymore "Prevention That’s what’s important This is real and It can happen to you,” she said “Don’t ever think it won’t happen It’s not in my family Only 10 percent with breast cancer have it in their family history”

Joy Mislevi of Team Canton says women can get shower cards that describe how to do a sdf-exam at Garden City

k x x ja y iu x i i t u i u ic o ix u w *er as soon as you get it Not only does it td l you how to do the exam properly, but the card reminds you to do it ei^ery month

Popejoy believes people are truly t^ m g breast cancer seri­ously — as well as early detec­tion “I have been through it,” she said “You don’t want to go through it The treatment is barbaric They cut, poison or bum But they are making headway m terms of a woman’s digmty, in terms of the treat­ments ”

Hamer wishes her mom could have benefitted from all the awareness and fimd-raising and medical strides “The awareness today is amazing,” she said “It’s not my mother’s breast cancer anymore”

Franko urges women to actively pursue their own good health But she also cautions that should the diagnosis come, “Don’t be afraid It can be beat”

OUR VIEWS

Residents must voice ta x choice

After seeing less than 4 percent of registered voters turn out for the annual Plymouth-Canton school election, we’re leery o f telling residents they need to be paying attention

However, if you’re a resident of the city of Plymouth and you don’t give your input to what the city commission IS doing now, you may regret it for a long time to come

Com m issioners last week got very bad news from finance director Mark Christiansen — if projections come true, he told the commission, the city will be facing a deficit of $2 4 million by fiscal 2008 Not might be Not could be Will be

Deficits projected by Christiansen include fairly modest cuts in s ta te revenue sharing, and do not take in to account “future operational concerns or revenues ”

It’s gotten so b ^ commissioners are now contemplating the politically disastrous decision to raise your taxes through a rollback of the Headlee Amendment Not only that, bu t some have suggested trying to push a charter amendment past voters that would let them tax all the way to 20 mills, five more than the charter currently allows

Mayor Pro-Tern Colleen Pobur has been the most vocif­erous in calling for the commission to at least consider a tax hike She wants to avoid layoffs — and the resulting drop in services — if &t all possible She also doesn’t believe Plymouth can count on the state to help out any time soon

“The state isn’t going to come up with some magic solu­tion th a t’s going to solve our $2 4 million problem in 2008,” she said at a meeting of a subcommittee appointed to study the city’s budget mess

She’s nght Plymouth can’t expect any help from Lansing, and therefore must dig out of its own financial hole For now, commissioners have decided to choose one of two roada A tax hike of at least 4 mills, or cuts in city services

Commissioner Michele Potter wants the city adminis­tration to make more budget cuts, including consolidat­ing operations, before going to voters with any kind of tax increase The state, she fears, will use Plymouth as an example should the city hike taxes

“I f Plymouth voters approve a tax increase, the state will then use us as an example to push other communities to do the same, thereby justifying further cuts in revenue shanng,” she said

We don’t know if that’s a valid concern, only because we don’t believe the state is going to be much help anyway But Potter’s point is well-taken The administration should do everything it can before asking voters for more money

In the meantime, commissioners want to find out what residents think There s another subcommittee meeting Monday, and a special meeting of the city commission June 30 If you’re a resident of Plymouth, you are going to either get a tax increase or have services cut

If you have a preference, or an opinion, now is the time to voice it

M ic h ig a n 's s u m m e r w e il w o r t h t h e w a it

Summer officially begins Saturday, but Gov Jennifer Granholm has already taken a whirlwind tn p through Michigan’s summer attractions to encourage state resi­dents to enjoy the season at home and to tem pt others to come here

Michigan is a great summer state On the west side, we have miles and miles of golden sand along the majestic Lake Michigan On the east, we have a ruggedly hand­some shoreline to nval Maine’s along Lake Huron And to the north, we have a wilderness of awe-mspinng beauty along Lake Supenor

But our state is also blessed with hundreds of inland lakes just waiting for anglers, swimmers, boaters, water skiers and deck sitters to enjoy We also have fish-rich nvers and streams that also offer a challenge, or a leisure­ly float, for canoeists and kayakers

While woods, water and lighthouses might be the top attractions for many, southeast Michigan has its own spe­cial appeal

T h is year th e b ig news is th e m ajo r overhau l of Greenfield Village

And every year, each of our communities celebrate the good life here at hom e w ith a festival Farm ington’s Founder’s Fest, Canton’s Liberty Fest and Livonia’s Spree provide chances to rub shoulders with fnends and neigh­bors Enjoy*

Ryan commendableAdditional comment about Dr Ryan’s

performance as Plymouth-Canton school superintendent seems appropriate

His openness, candor, and commit­ment are certainly commendable He is proactive in approach and, unlike a few predecessors, makes an effort to be acces­sible

Suffice it to say that Dr Ryan could become even more effective if voters became more informed about the critical issues facing the district Involvement in the educational process at some level is a worthy goal for anyone who cares about our youth Apathyamongthe voting public is a disgrace at best

Fifteen percent, plus or minus, of the electorate deciding issues is both demor­alizing and counterproductive Education and its direction is everyone’s business and everyone’s responsibility

Unfortunately, segments of the popula­tion who cop out at the polls are often those most vocal in their dissent They tend to beheve that it makes sense to “throw away the baby with the bath water” Hopefully, when the next election or proposition rolls around, additional voters will accept their responsibility as atizens

This often quoted statement might prove to be thought providing I f you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem ” Our young people are our future They deserve and need all the support you can give them

Skoglund rememberedI was so sorry to read about the passing

of your reporter, Renee Skoglund on June 2,2003 I became acquainted with Ms Skoglund about two months ago when she was writing an article about my daughter, Jennifer Carbott

Jennifer was, at the time, training to run the marathon m San Diego to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Michigan with the Team In TVaining in honor of my brother who has leukemia I had several conversations and e-mails with Ms Skoglund and found her to be a quite caring and compassionate woman She did mention to me that she, too, was battling cancer and we promised to exchange prayers with each other

After her artide ran, I contacted Ms Skoglund to thank her for her wonderful article about Jenny and for promoting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Michigan She asked me to let her know how Jenny did and how much money she was able to raise

I regret that I won’t have the chance to do that because Jenny finished the marathon in San Diego on June 1,2003, m just over five hours, and through Jenn/s efforts along with the help of Ms Skoglund’s article, Jenny was able to raise more than $4,000 for the Leukemia and

Lymphoma Society of Michigan *I Imow Renee Skoglund will be greatly

missed and am thankful our paths crossed

Patterson praiseAs a member of the Michigan Senate, I

am writing m recognition of the impor­tant cpntnbutions Sen Bruce Patterson, (R-Canton), made on the contentious issue of beach maintenance

As you may know. House Bill 4257 recently passed the Senate 37-0, and was signed into law by Gov Granholm June 4 as Public Act 14 o f2003 While this bill, which eases beach maintenance regula­tions for shoreline property owners, received unanimous Senate support, it might never have been resolved without the hard work and commitment of Sen Patterson

His legal expertise was essential in ensunng the final version of the bill would not violate existing federal law or produce unforeseen results not intended by the proposed legislation He was a key component m bnngmg the Michigan Senate to a compromise

During committee hearings and count­less hours of Isehmd-the-scenes negotia­tions, Sen Patterson provided a rational, moderate voice in these often times heat­ed debates His willingness to listen to and understand both sides of this issue was key in ironing out a reasonable com­promise that respected both private prop­erty nghts and environment^ protection

In a time of divided government and

QUOTABLE

Katie Councs pretense of a Ph D in economics does provide some humor I laugh

Or is she serious? Has she joined the Hate Amenca crowd of Moyers, Moore, and Glover, or does she prattle and blath­er because she thinks her money, atten­tion and position will shadow and excuse any blame for not knowing

Counc has yet to explain anything eco­nomic, be it downsizing, the junk bond, diminishing utility, a tax cut to attain greater revenues, or flie double payment of taxes on eammgs by owners of a cor­poration She mouths the big govern­ment, Marxist graduated income tax ide­ology excitedly believing she has the eter­nal answer for the distribution of wealth

The lineup of media personalities that expose the complete illiteracy of social thought and ideology grows longer The radio and TV magnates become part of the march to Armageddon when they hire and squire the mane at best, and the Amencan culture demgrator at worst to spread the socialist ‘gospel ’

Those who continually find the corpo­rate endeavors of enlightened Amencans as responsible for the backward economic “solutions ’ of the second, third, and fourth world countnes mean for some perverted reason to reduce Amenca to an equality of very little wealth, no progress, no invention, no creativity, no courage, no accomplishment Socialism will reign supreme

C o n s o lid a tin g e le c tio n s s e e m s r ig h t th in g to doTurns out they had school elections last

Monday School board c^didates were elected and defeated, miUage and bond issues were

resolved and our magnificent structure of local control of education ground on its stately way

Only problem was dmost nobody voted Statewide turnout statevnde was less than 5 per­cent, with some distncts notching less than 1 per­cent Histoncaily, these numbers are not unusual for education elections

In response, Secretary of State Tfern Land, Rep Chns Ward (R-Bnghton) and Sen Beverly Hamerstrom (R- Temperance) have renewed long-stalled efforts to consoli­date elections in Michigan If their nme-bill package makes it into law, elections could be held only on the fourth Ibesday in February and on the first Tbesday after the first Monday m May, August and November Rep Ward is a former township clerk, so he knows what he’s talking about w h ^ he speaks about the “frustration” of voters

not knowing when elections will be held Their arguments are relatively straightfonvard

Consolidating elections onto certain dates overfdl saves money Michigan has 555 K-12 school dis­tricts and 57 intermediate (county-wide) distncts They produce a lot of elections, on the average 600 per year around the state And each election IS expensive It costs the city of Farmington Hills, for instance, $30,000 to run a school election

Moreo\^r, concentrating education elections into certain specified dates reduces voter confu­sion and apa^y and, hopefully, increases turnout Shrewd school folks — board members, supenn- tendents, pnnapals, PTOs, teacher unions, what­ever — have more than once conspired to sched­ule elections at times when a low turnout makes It possible for a dedicated m inon^ to pass things like bond issues More than once. I’ve heard a school supenntendent argue, “We certainly don’t want all those people voting in our election'”

So on the sui^ce, consolidating elections mto spec­ified dates seems 13^ a no-bramer Who can poss&ly argue against something that brings w ^er d^ocra t- ic partiapation? But b ^ r e the L ^^^ture lurches mto action, I’d Wse to edd a couple of thou^ts

Fu:st, be careful about November Our November ballot in Michigan is what the pohtical scientists call a “bed sheet ballot,” whidh means the number of races and propositions on it makes the ballot paper look as long as a bed sheet President U S Senate and House, governor, state senate and hoi:uie, local mayors and city councils, judges, be they local or statewide, and various state and local propositions

With all this stuff on die November ballot ft’s easy for school matters to get lost m the shuffle

Worse, voters are not going to get a lot of news coverage and editorial guidance in November elections Responsible home town newspapers such as this one spend a lot of time covenng all kinds of races and interviewing all the various local candidates But time is not endless and space in the newspaper is linuted Adding school elections to the alre^y-crowded November ballot can only worsen the crunch of trying to provide solid coverage for important locd races.

A better alternative would be to lump together all education races mto one smgle education dection Voters could select members of local sdiool boards, commumty college boards and governing board members of U-M, MSU and WSU C onfu ted with an entire elamon dealing with matters educational, the nevi^ media would actually be obliged to cover the races, to question candidt^es, evaluate qualifica­tions and question policy and positions “Name” candidates would get less of a leg up Citizens would have a chance to '^mk about the totahty of educa­tion pohcy and practice m Michigan — die biggest smgle Item m the state’s Imdget

Interestm^y, this is exactly what we did m Michigan prior to the adoption of the 1963 consti­tution B a ^ then, education races were clustered mto one spnng election held m odd-numbered years I’ve never understood why the constitution­al convention overturned such a sensible system

My second thou^ts about consohdatmg elec­tions are, regrettably, “mutually exdusive andjomdy eifhaustive,” as my old philosophy tutor used to say

Sure, dmng something to mcrease voter turnout IS as Amencan as apple pie H i^ turnout is the best way to prevent a sm ^, ni^y-motivated mmonty from dominating public policy, whether diat mmor- ity be members the t e ^ e r umons p u ^ n g tor more m on^ to go mto schools or nght-wmg bigots trying to s a lto t^ education poluy

But the obvious tollow-up question is In a h i^ - er turnout election, what kind of voter is litely to be tinned out? Do we really want people who have no mterest or knowledge in education to be voting m droves’ What kmd of voting decision is thb mar­ginal (and likefy uninformed) voter likely to make?

In c ^ e r woids, is m creas^ voter participation actua% likely to improve our democracy’ This is a problem a t has been debated for, hterally, cen­turies. And i have to confess that as I get older and grumpier, I’m begmnmg to think that mere democratic p ^ a p a t io n is not necessarily the best solution tor all of our social and pohtical lUs

Business meeting attracted everything but businesses

BradKadnch

Anyone who follows and understands the pohtics behmd the initial meetmg designed to establish a P^nnouth Township Busmess

Association would be hard-pressed to call die meeting a sucxiess, pohtically speakmg

Being the etem d optimist toat I am, I recog­nize every dark doud has its silver limng, and the meeting — held a couple of weeks ago at AdantLS Restaurant — dicl have its upside

A solid dialogue was opened about the kinds of things that make Plymouth Tbwndup an idyllic place to live There were some 25 people there to talk about the posi­

tives of township life There were residential representa­tives and political electeds and appointees galore

About the only thing the imtial meeting lacked was huBiness representation Only four businesses were represented, and one of those wus a c iy business Another owner in atten­dance has busmesses m both the city and township

The letter sent out by meeting organizer Bill Joyner read, m part,“a Plymoulb Township Busmess Association is tatong the first step to get a sense of inter­est m redefining ttie Chamber of Commerce, and failing that to move toward the creation of a new (toamber representing Plymouth Tbwnship interests ”

Joyner, who has been openly cntical of the chamber dating back to his days at Your Community Oner, scarcely mentioned that latter option dunng the hour-long meeting and, afterward, b a ^ e d off it a little bit

“Unless there was open dialogue and dis­cussion, that’s what I’m heanng,” Jojmer said of the township chamber option “None of us want to start one now (But) there is a desire to establish a dialogue with the chamber that has not been there previously”

That may be so, but it vasn’t evident at the Atiantis meetmg The only people who said much of aiythmg cntical of tiie current cham­ber were Jcyner and Plymouth Tbwnship Clerk Marilyn Massengill, who essentially echoed cnticisms Jcyner was making

The rest of the crowd either outnght sup­ported the chamber, or had minor cnticasms to which executive director Prim Tbney said she’s certainly willing to listen

In tile letter he sent to some 200 people mviting them to the meeting, Joyner wrote, “A Plymouth Tbwnship Business Association is necessary to provide, as a start, the foUowmg ”

1 Networlang opportunities However, four of the last eight chamber “mixers” were at

township busmesses Andthediam ber’s largest networking opportunity, the annual Showcase Plymouth, is held at St John’s Golf and Conference Center.

2 Marketing and promotion of restaurants in the township The chamber’s newest "restaurant promotion” is an advertising campaign which includes restaurants from both the city and township

3 Shopping guides The letter criticized the current “ o p Pfymouth” campaign as bcxistmg ontyaty busmesses, and that’s true Itwasacam- paigp directed downtown, however, as several people pomted out, tiiatis v^ere people riiop

4 Marketing tiie township’s mdustnal park and “the benefits of doing busmess m Plymoutii Tbwnship ” The suggestion was made the cham­ber doesn’t reflect township business, current chamber board president Roger Yojc^ pomted out tile nmonty of board membos represent township busmesses.

5 The creation and implementation of a “pnde m Plymouth Tbwnship” program ^ ry o n e agrees this would be a great idea, but is it a chamber responsibihty? Joyner m tic iz^ tiie diamber for, among other things, not hdp- mg publicize the township’s 175tii birthday

You can argue whether that’s the chamber’s responsibility, but the fact remains township officials themselves did precious little to rec­ognize I t There was never any officid cere­mony, only a “birthday cake” served at the annud Fourth of July picnic

No one is absolving e diamber, or sug­gesting it perfectly represents alhnterests Tb be fair, the chamber probably could do a bet­ter job representing township interests, and steps are already being taken to do just that

Despite the relatively low turnout, Joyner ; called the meeting a success “Absolutely,” he said “This was no tju st about commercial or professional, it was about community You had abroad representation.”

But did it go toward reaching Jcyneris gpal of estabhdung a township busmess association?

“I wouldn’t pay to jom a township busmess association unless I was convinced there was value in it,” said Jim Grutza, the owner of Papa Romano’s who is one of this communi­ty’s staunchest advocates. “I didn’t hear any­thing (Wednesday) to make me think that ”

Dialogue is a good thing Sometimes it’s necessary to point out things that are wrong and find ways to fix them. And sometimes such dialogue serves the equally noble pur­pose of dispelling smoke intended to make people think there's fire

Village restoration key ingredient to metro area tourismBY EMORY DANIELSSTAFF WRITER

The newly renovated Greenfield Village has become the latest nsing star to appear m the overall strategy to increase tourism in southeast Michigan

The Henry Ford, the new name for the village and Henry Ford Museum m Dearborn, is one of the tools used m cam­paigns to bnng the Super Bowl to Detroit, the 2005 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, NCAA Final Four basketball finals and NCAA Frozen Four hockey finals

“The Henry Ford is one of the most-visited attractions in our area and certainly is the center- piece for our tourism product,” said Renee Monforton, commu­nications director for the Metro Detroit Convention & Visitors Bureau “We revolve much of our marketing efforts around The Henry Ford, because nationwide it is a very recogniz­able attraction to potential visi­tors and IS a major draw here ’

The renovated Henry Ford is an important element in the bureau s 10-year strategy that, if successful, would increase visi­tor Spending in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties by $3 bil­lion a year and create some 31,000jobs In 2002, the tn- county region attracted 15 7 mil­lion convention, business and leisure visitors who spent $4 3 billion

Bill Connellan, senior vice president m charge of tourism development for the bureau, said It is his job to Took at what we can do in the region to improve southeast Michigan as a destination so that we get more visitors to the region

“Any product we have, like The Henry Ford, diat can be added to or improved helps us with the next step The renova­tion at the village will result m more visitors and that gives us something to build on ’

With the Greenfield Village renovation, bnnging on the Rouge factory tour in 2004, and with the changes to be mtro- duced m the museum’s chang­ing and permanent exhibits, we will be creating a pretty exatmg destination complex that will cause more people to come here and spend more time said Steve Hamp president of Henry Ford Museum/Greenfield Village

We have worked very hard at creating a distinct personality for each of our venues The vil­lage acts and feels differently than the museum, which acts and feels differently than the IMAX which acts differently than the Rouge factory tours

Each of our venues are relat­ed m mission and geographical­ly close, but have distinctive per­sonalities,” he added “People will stay in the area to visit more than one venue, which should create a big magnet for our out- market visitors And that spells nothing but an exatmg benefit for our community”

A NATIONAL DRAW

Hamp’s exatement is echoed by Patnaa Mooradian, chief operating officer of The Henry Ford

We are now the state’s No 1 cultural destination and our goal IS to be the No 1 history attraction m the country,’ Mooradian said

One of the things the renova­tion has done is to create a greater capacity for the village

‘We are now able to comfort­ably accommodate 25,000 visi­tors at day as a peak capaaty,” Mooradian said “And so we have a greater opportunity to fiow th ro u ^ more visitors than in the past

“From last summer to this summer, we ejqiect a 10-percent increase m attendance at the vil­lage,’ she added “That’s impor­tant, because each summer for a three-month period we draw400,000 visitors to the village alone”

DECLINE IN TOURISM

The June 10 opemng of Greenfield Village comes at an opportune time because reports in March 2003 show that tourism statewide is stagnating

Don Holeck, director of MStTs Ibunsm Resource Center, saj^ that while a 2-per- cent increase m travel volume m Michigan is seen for 2003, a 2- percent decline m travel spend­ing is forecast Tourism pumps about $118 billion a year into the state’s economy

This forecast follows back-to back years m which tourists spent less than in the pnor year and the finding that Michigan has a multi-billion dollar defiat m travel trade

‘The decline in tounsts expenditures in 2001 and 2002 are the first back-to-back declines recorded by the indus trj' since at least 1985,’ Holeck said “This came as a total sur­prise, as did news of our large and long-running deficit in trav el trade

Tbunsm spending has dechned as travelers have cut

back because of the threat of more terrorism, fear of a disrup tion m fuel supplies and fear of nsmg gasoline pnces, Holeck said

Long term with all of our attractions and the transforma­tion to The Henry Ford, Mooradian said Sve expect attendance over the next five to seven years to exceed two mil­lion visitors In addition, the opemng of the Ford Rouge fac­tory tour in 2004 will result in an additional 250,000 visitors

We have been working with 36 different hotels to come up

with a Great Escape hotel pack age that we are promoting in neighbonng states m the Midwest that are three to four hours dnve from Dearborn That makes for a very comfort­able long weekend

With the downturn m tounsm and air travel, Mooradian added “we hope to stimulate more dnve in traffic from the Midwest The Great Escape hotel package which fits every pocketbook starting at $69 and going up gives us a great opportunity to do that ”

A UNIQUE DRAW

Because of the major upgrade at the nllage residents of south east Michigan very likely will visit The Henry Ford this sum mer, which they otherwase might not have done Mooradian said A hidden jewel in the region The Henry Ford traditionally draws muA heav ler from out of state travelers than nearby residents

When people travel they are looking for experiences unique to a destination and The Henry Ford IS definitely our claim to

fame said Michelle Fusco, spokesperson for the Detroit Conventon & Visitors Bureau Tliere are few places m the

United States tliat bnng history to life the way The Henry Ford does

When campaigning to secure special events Fusco added, The Henry Ford is a great venue to offer for ancillary activities that always seem to accompany major events And as The Hemy Ford gams prominence m the public psyche, so does metro Detroit as a destination, so we all benefit

Fans from the west side got their first look Saturday night at the Mid-Michigan Bucks, who did not disap­point as they showed both talent and depth in a 2-0 vic­tory over the Ibledo Slayers at Canton High School

The first-place Bucks, who improved to 7-l-l m the Great Lakes Division of the Premier Development League, got goals in the 21st minute from former Oakland University player Paul Snape and in the 5?th minute from Penn State’s Simon Omekanda (from Rochester Adams)

Mychal Turpin (University of Michigan) assisted on both goals, while U-M goalkeeper Peter Dzubay posted the shutout

Snape, in his seventh year with the teams, likes what he sees so far in the 2003 version of the Bucks The reviews have been positive

“This year the boys are young, but they’re hungry,” Snape said “We’re organized and everybody its built into the mentality to succeed as a team ”

Former Bucks goaltender Enc Pogue, now playing for Toledo, is a coach at Oakland University He dso sees a winning formula developmg with the Bucks, who beat the Slayers (1-6-2) for the third time this season

‘ They’re a good all-around team, they’ve got good players at every position,” said the OU assistant “They’re dangerous to contend with and they usually get to us in the second half

“They have a good system and they work together They’re a lot more disaphned and they seem to work together even though individually they have great play- ers

First-year Buclis coach Don Gemmell, who has enjoyed immense success at the youth club level with Vardax, is also beginning to see some seeds being sown

“It’s coming, but we’re a young team and this is a dif­ferent level,” Gemmell said ‘W hat works in college is not necessanly successful in this league We’re talented, but details will determine our success Everything

Barry Patterson has taken teams to th e b r in k o f s ta te ch am p i­onships m the past But this year, his Garden City Cougars got over a hurdle it’s taken them four years to clear — the districts

After getting stopped by Meghan Misiak and Livonia Churchill in the district finals four years run­ning, the Cougars blasted through the first round of postseason play to capture Patterson’s ninth dis- tnct title as coach of the team

Despite a regional finals loss to Farm ington Mercy, Garden City finished the season w ith a 28-7 record in c lu d in g a M ega Red Division championship

These accomplishments helped e a rn P a tte rso n th is y e a r’s Observerland Softball Coach of the Year award

In 17 seasons a t G arden City, Patterson has racked up 395 wins, three regional championships and three appearances in the final four of softball He guided his team to a strong effort this year despite not having a single superstar at any position on the field

“I hate to sound like a prophet, but at the beginning of the season, I said our depth would be one of our strong points, and it turned out to be,” he said “Our pitching was solid and kept us in games, we could produce runs from any spot

“We had opportunities to win league and district titles, so that made this season a lit­tle more successful than the past when we haven’t gotten by districts,” Patterson said “In a way, this was a season of milestones for us We finally got through the district, and won a game at Monroe, which has been a tough place for us to play recently”

She also hit 319 in the leadoff spot with 15 RBI 36 hits a 354 slugging percentage a n d 5 3 2 o n b a s e percentage

She was certainly one of our key play ers said Patterson She wasnt overpow ering but she got th e job done on the mound and as our Isadoff hitter

Jonelie Brown Canton C it might be dif ficult to determine where Brown was more valuable offensively or defensively

Without a doubt she was a force in both Offensively the senior catcher led a Canton team that won 26 games with a 471 batting average collecting seven doubles and driv ing in 24 runs (both also team highs) She walked just four tim es but she did not

strike out all season And for the third straight season Brown was named the team MVP

Defensively she did not commit an error did not have a passed ball charged against her and threw out seven of 10 baserunners Her coach Jim Arnold often praised Browr s ability to call a game from behind the plate

Brown was also all WLAA and for the second straight year all district

Roya St Clair Liv Stevenson C The freshman catcher posted staggering often sive numbers in her inaugural varsity sea son with a 547 batting average (52 for 95) with five homers three triples 14 doubles and 37 RBI

She also scored 23 runs and had an on base percentage of 583 She struck out just three times all year

You can tell by the way she swings the bat and her arm strength she also knows

For some runners out there, it’s been entirely too long since this area had a distance race of its own

That time is over The first-ever Galyan’s Northville

Solstice 5-Kilometer Run will start at 7 45 a m Saturday, in Northville

The run, which also has a walk to go with it and a kids’ fun run, will find such benefits as ChampionChip timing, a telecast race by Comcast, and awards for overall winner, the masters division and for each age group

Doug Kurtis and I wanted to start a new event in Northville,” said iUan Whitehead, the race director “Northville is a beautiful setting for a race, and many runners just love to take part in events m this communi­ty

Whitehead and Livonian Kurtis,

world record holder for the most sub 2 20 marathons, came up with the idea of this particular event, which is co-sponsored by the Observer & Eccentric

“Doug and I actually had the idea about bnnging back a race to Northville about three years ago,” Whitehead said “Later, I told Doug that I was willing to direct it if he agreed to assist me and join the staif”

And Kurtis was just one of many good additions to the staff

“We have added expenenced staff with Mark Cryderman, Jerry Mittman and Craig Meisel,” Whitehead said

The race, which costs $19 to enter prior to the day of the race and $21 on race day, will donate all of the money raised to Northville Parks and Recreation projects and activi­ties

‘Running the race helps the com­

munity,” Whitehead said “It’s really a thank you to Northville for allow­ing us to use the beautiful downtown area to hold this event ”

The race is expected to bring in more than 1,000 runners and walk­ers The run will include such names as Chris Toloff of Michigan State and Kathy Rink, who is an Olympic Tnals Marathon qualifier

Comcast is going to condense the race into a half-hour telecast that will be shown m 59 cities in the Detroit-Metro area as they use four csuneras and a pace car

And in the pace car“P Kurtis, of course

The well-known runner will be doing commentary for the event

Some of the highlights of the race include the 5K run which starts at 8 15 a m with the 5K walk starting five minutes later The kids fun run will start at 7 45 a m over a 1 5-mile course

There will be pnzes awarded for the overall winners with a $100 gift certificate and gold medals going to the winners, $50 gift certificates to the second place finishers and a $50 certificate going to the masters (over-40) winner

The overall winner will also receive the Doug Kurtis Winner Award, while all age group winners will receive a medal award for their accomplishments

The event will also have an enter­tainment venue hosted at Northville’s Ford Field Tommy Vale and the Torpedoes will be playing for four hours throughout the day, while kids can hit the face-painting booth and all participants are welcome to a large food and refreshment buffet

For anyone who has registered before the day of the event, a colorful race T-shirt is also going to be received

“This is going to be a lot of fun>”

Whitehead said “I’m really looking forward to being a part o f this ”

Marco DiMichele saved his best for last

The recent Garden City High School graduate took center stage among the best senior baseball players in the state Monday afternoon DiMichele was named the East MVP m the Michigan High School Baseball Coaches Association All-Star Game at Comenca Park in helping his team to a 3-1 victory over the West

DiMichele pitched three superb innings, stnking out seven of the nine batters he faced m earning the honor He started the game on the mound for die East and set the tone for the game, as it became a rare pitcher’s duel

‘ I wa^ nervous when I was warming up before the game, looking around at the ball­park,” DiMichele said “But once we got started, I put my nerves aside and decided that no one on the other team was better than me I just got into my groove and went from there

DiMichele, a First-Team All State selection, struck out the first four batters he faced Only two West players reached base against DiMichele, with one getting picked off of first and the other thrown out attempt­ing to steal

Garden City coach Steve Herman, who has helped guide DiMichele through his up-and- down high school career, was beaming with pride after he was named MVP of a game that gathered the best high school senior baseball players

ALL-STAR BASEBALL

m the state“This IS just the neatest thing

I ve been to,’Herman said “He could have thrown m the towel and decided all this wasn’t worth it But he came back this year with a chip on his shoul­der and had something to prove And by him being here, you can see he has proved it ’

DiMichele will play at Kent State University next year, and had an outstanding senior sea­son for the Cougars He went 11-2 on the mound with a 101 earned run average He also set a school record with 146 strike­outs, and found time to bat 440 with 31 runs scored at the

plateFour other Observer and

Eccentric area ballplayers were also on the East squad, and each contributed to the team’s win

Derek Ranck represented the Clarkston Wolves, and was joined by his coach Phil Price on the team Dan Lentz from Division 1 state runner-up Birmingham Brother Rice started at shortstop, while Andy Wmgert (Farmington Harnson) and Kevin Lamb (West Bloomfield) also had pitching stints on the m6und m the game

Harnson coach John Herrington said Wmgert used his work ethic and baseball savvy to play m the ultimate high school baseball game Wmgert pitched the top of the fourfii inning for the East team and recorded two stnkeouts in an effective outing

“It’s the culmination of a great career for him,” he said “He started three years for us and was a very steady per­former”

Wmgert is headed to Central Michigan University next year on a combmation baseball and academic scholarship He’s a 3 8 student and went 8-3 with a 199 earned run average

Lentz finished quite a 48- hour roller coaster nde with his participation in the game Saturday, he and his Brother Rice teammates suffered a 5-2 upset loss to Holland West Ottawa in the Division 1 State Finals But he was a catalyst m the East’s victory Monday, stealing two bases and sconng the team’s first run while get­ting the start at shortstop

“It’s nice to really end things on a winning note ” Lentz said after the all star win “Although rd trade this for us winning on Saturday anytime It’s hard not to think about our loss, but this game helped 'This nde has just been the best time of my life ”

Lentz had played at the CoPa three previous times, winning the 2002 Catholic League championship there He will play at the University of Michigan next year

Clarkston was the best-rep- resented of the area schools at the game, with a player and a coach Ranck, who will play at Wayne State University in the fall, finished a career tiiat saw he and his team improve bit by bit over the past Hiree seasons He helped put the Wolves on the baseball map the past two seasons, leading the team to a semifinal berth m 2002 and a league title this year

Price, who just completed his fifth season as varsity coach at Clarkston, said the whole expenence made him feel like a Ibd again

“What a great Father’s Day present,” Price said, referring also to annual banquet held Sunday night for everyone involved in the game “I felt like a kid m a candy store, like it was Christmas m June Us coaches were arguing over who would get to coach third base, and talk about going out to the mound, just so we could say we walked out to the mound here But our pitchers played excel­lent

“I’ve always had a lot of con­fidence in Derek, and he just had a great year He improved his defense, he hit 470 and was a great team leader

Ranck smacked 54 hits in 30 games, stole 16 bases and had 39 RBI in helping the Wolves to their first-ever outright league title

Lamb also saw the comple­tion of a very successful career for himself and his teammates on the Lakers

He pitched the sixth inning and struck out one while issu­ing one walk

A BACKYARD HAVEN

The stairway from the patio area leads down to the swimming pool

BY KEN ABRAMCZYKSTAFF WRITER

k into Antonette and Myrl Mikolon’s garden on the day of a garden walk and you will be

greeted by the statue of an angel And when you leave, another statue

of an angel will see you out Of course, real-life angels (the couple’s grandchil­dren) will be present throughout the yard

You see, Antonette not only loves her grandchildren, but she loves her gar­den, which is why that labor of love will be one of seven gardens featured on the 14th annual Garden Walk presented by the Friends for the Development of Greenmead (Livonia’s Historical Village) Saturday, June 28

The Mikolons are flattered to be on the walk “It’s a good way to give back to the city,” Antonette said Proceeds will help fund the preservation and restora­tion of Greenmead

The Mikolons’ garden is m a ravine, which adds soft sounds of ram flowing through the yard, another dimension of sound along with the yard filled with colorful flowers

“I love being close to the earth,’ she said “I love getting my hands dirty I love beauty I get a sense of peace here, and I’ve had others tell me the same thing”

Have you ever shot a roll of film, begun to rewind it into the cassette and then

you guessed it foimd die

throu^the camera? Don’t feel lonely, it’s happened at some pomt m eveiy photogra­pher’s career

But did you know there’s a way to assure that your film always advances through the camera? In feet,

there are anumber of helpful hmts to keep you out of ajam and improve your photographs Here are some

B To resolve the film advance problem, simply watch the film rewind lever as you advance the film If it turns, everything is OK If not, the film isn’t going through the camera It’s that simple

B Thoroughly read your camera’s owner manual Carry it in your camera bag for quick reference It contains valuable information on your camera as well as useful information on photography

B Use a sliyhght or haze fil­ter on all your lenses They will not only warm up colors and

No problems here m Monte Nagler's picture of the Breakers Mansion in Newport. R

cut through haze, but they will also protect your valuable lens

B Tb be safe, especisdly with electronic cameras, change batteries in your camera once a year, even though it still appears to be functioning

B Thpe the label from your film box on the back of your camera Some cameras have slots for this purpose as a reminder of what kind of film you are shooting If you don’t take many pictures, it’s easy to forget what’s in your camera

B Don’t always use fast films I recommend using the slowest speed film that condi­tions and lighting will permit You’ll get finer gram, more vivid colors and save money on film, too

■ When IS it safe to hand hold your camera? Shoot at the shutter speed that comes clos­est to the focal length of your lens, not slower For example, with your normal 50-mm lens, shoot at 1/60 second or faster With a 135-mm lens, use 1/125 or faster This same rale applies to your zoom lens, too

Business growing strong for 25 years GARDEN WALKS AND TOURS

GardenSp o t

Marty

Twenty-five years ago, a young man, George Papadehs, set up a road­

side stand to sell tiny plants he had started trom seed

The family - Gust and Niki and their two sons, George and Mark - lived on a quiet street in Troy that was a per­fect place for George to “set up shop”

The business was such a suc­cess that It kept George busy through his high school years

He attended the University of Michigan to study biology, but each summer he returned home to work in the flower stand, which by then was a successful business The quiet street had turned into a five- lane highway

As much as he loved provid­ing flowers for Troy residents, George also enjoyed building a business

George had a big decision to make in the summer of 1987 Should he apply to medical sphool, or continue to develop Tellys Greenhouse and Garden Center"!

The garden center won With the support of his parents and encouragement of his friend, Kellie, a fellow student at the U of M, George contin­ued to expand the business and to sell all manner of flowers, vegetables, shrubs, trees, etc to his many loyal customers (Kellie IS now George’s wife and the mother of Iheir three children)

His brother, Mark, began to sell trees and shrubs on the grounds a few years ago, apd now that is another aspect of the business

ON T H E GROW

Tellys Greenhouse and Garden Center is now a thnv-

MARTY FIGLEY

George Papadelis says, 'There is always something new and exciting m the gardening world at Tellys"

mg business that not only offers a full range of plants, but garden art, tools, furniture, accessories and much more It IS at 3301 John R in TVoy, between Big Beaver and Wattles roads (phone (248) 689-S735)

Tellys continues to expand and now is having some reno­vations

Recently we walked around the garden center and George enthusiastically showed me some new plants that are now available

The annual Talinum “Jewels of Opar” has glossj' gold leaves and delicate pink flowers on airy spikes

Another annual, Argyranthemum ‘ Chelsea Girl,’ IS a 12- to 18-foot tall tree with thread-like gray/green foliage to 1 inch, with daisy- like flowers Salvia‘Azurea has deep purple/blue flower spikes, it I S an annual

Euphorbia cotinjblia, exclu­sive to Tellys, sports heart- shaped leaves "^at are maroon with olive green on the back veins This 6-plus-foot tree has soft gray bark

Any hosta lover will be impressed with the variety of hostas, such as “Liberly” and “Praying Hands,” also exclusive here

One hundred different kinds

of annual coleus will knock your socks off ‘ Brillantosia has large leaves and grows 4 feet tall, with delphimum-blue flowers on long spikes ‘Penlla Magilla” IS another winner

Centaana gymnocarpa,‘ Colchester White,” with extra large, coarse foliage, can be trained as a standard Other plants have been trained as standards, and the topiary selection can t be beat

We have all sorts of stuff m topiary that really has no busi­ness being topiary' ” George said

CREATIVE CONTAINERS

George wants customers to know that there are many alternatives to the spike that is so over-used in container plantings All are either annu­als or tender perennials Included in the selection are

■ Phormium - Its leaves are pmk, brown and green with maroon edges The sword-like leaves are arranged as a fan and the tall, lily-like flowers are brownish red or yellow

■ Cordyhne - This has leaves that are long and dark purple/red with a lighter cen­ter vein They radiate perfectly from the center

■ Dianella - This has green and white, or green and gold,

leavesOther choices are Pemsetum

“Purple Majesty* and Sacchrum Sugar Cane, with a bronze leaf

Miniature impatiens stay under control in a mixed pot, George says ( Pretty cool ’) Some unusual veggies are available, such as maroon let­tuce “Merlot’ and striped com

Customers can also buy a metal carrier that contains a variety of mixed plants that is professionally designed This contamer collection can then be transferred to your own pot

Not only does "^is company sell all manner of things to beautify gardens, it reaches out to its community

Tellys IS very involved with helping others raise funds and has several programs to help groups in this endeavor It has donated much time and money through various fund-raisers

Garden clubs are invited to hold meetings on the site George is available as a speaker for group functions and as a group leader for day trips or extended travel to horticultural destinations (For information on customizing a program for your group, e-mail Tellysghs@aol com)

Pre-arranged group tours of the facilities are available Saturday workshops are offered from Apnl to December Be sure to pick up a schedule The staff welcomes suggestions and questions

■y^en you visit Tellys, say “Happy 25th' ’ and enjoy a leisurely trip through the grounds as you make your selections

Rick

When you sit down at the TV to watch the first DVD youVe ever created,

It’s kind of a magical moment After patiently copying hours

of home video to your comput­er, carefully editing the footage into a cohesive movie, and recording it to that shiny blank disc in your spiflfy new DVD burner, you can’t help feeling a bit like Spielberg so this IS what It’s like to make movies

And when your masterpiece appears on the screen upside- down, as mine did, you start feeling more like Alan Funt Am I on Candid Camera?

Upside-down How could a digitally recorded image end up upside-down’ It wasn’t like I threaded the film into the projector backwards I’ve seen plenty of computer weirdness in my day, but this was within arm’s reach of taking the cake

Let me start at the begin­ning Now that so many of us own DVD players, it’s only nat­ural to want to create our own home-movie DVDs What bet­ter way to archive all those old

tapes or share precious moments with distant friends and family’

Of course, it’s nothing new to be able to transfer video to your PC and spruce it up with titles, transitions, and other faux-Hollywood effects But as for actually copying the result to a DVD, one you can view on any DVD player, that’s a fairly recent option Recordable DVD drives (or burners’) have finally become fast and afford­able enough to be practical

Witness the Pioneer DVR- A05(wwwpioneerelectronics com), an internal drive thats not only one of the fastest DVD burners to date, but also one of the least expensive at $299 (less if you shop online) It comes with some great software, most notably a program called MyDVD, which allows you to easily assemble your video clips and produce fancy DVD menus

I decided to take the Pioneer drive and software for a spin, hoping to archive to DVD about 12 hours worth of baby and toddler video

As you already know, the end result wasn’t pretty Of the two movie clips I burned to that fateful first DVD, one played upside-down The other looked fine when played on my PC, but jerl^ on my DVD player

Admittedly, I may have messed things up by generat­ing the wrong video format from my movie-editing pro­gram A subsequent effort with a different clip resulted in a flawless DVD But the whole exercise demonstrated that while DVD creation has come a long way in a short while, it s not yet as easy as it should be And with blank DVDs still sell­ing for about two bucks apiece, mistakes are not only frustrat­ing, but costly as well

1 won’t even bore you with the ridiculous standards war that contmues to plague recordable DVD (it’s like VHS versus Beta all over again)This drive supports DVD-R and DVD-RW, that drive sup­ports DVD+R and DVD+RW - give m^ a break Whittle it down to one or two universally acceptable standards and I’ll break out the checkbook

Until then, I can live without the confusion, frustration, and expense of burning mv own DVDs

Many ot yoithis column can relate to the common consumer

complaint of bait and switch ’ We used to read about these unethical tactics often in our

newspapers and today we seldom see or hardly ever hear a story

When IS the last time you read about the homeowner who sees an advertisement for a dishwash­er on sale for $199, enter an appliance store to purchase it,

only to be told there are no more m stock? At this point the consumer is quickly talked into buying the $400 model Hence we have a bait and switch

I don t think this practice happens anymore, at least not in the appliance sales business It makes me ponder the thought of why it doesn’t and the answer is simple - it’s the education of the American Shopper

Quite simply put, we got much smarter

The old story goes like this - “I saw the ad in the paper and went to the listed store to buy It The salesperson told me they ran out of that particular model and even offered a raincheck, but it would be three months before the store

received their next order from the factory I need a dishw^ash- er now, not in three months, so I paid for a model twice as expensive ’

This story was repeated to me over and over again Consumers read about it, heard it and m some cases lived it We all got smarter from the repeat messages given out by the media This bait and switch violates the Michigan Consumers Protection Act and the Attorney General’s Office was taking action against such retail practices

Not so long ago, every con­sumer over the age of 16 knew where there was an two partic­ular appliance store chains One would give you a pound of coffee if they couldn’t beat your best deal Were these large appliance retail outlets guilty of such behavior? I know they were because I used to call them and try to help con­sumers who came to me with the problem This kind of thing happens only once to 9, shop­per and you can imagine how quickly they became educated in shopping I guess if you bait and switch enough consumers, they just don’t shop at your store anymore By the way, what ever happened to those appliance stores’

Back m those days of appli­ance sales, I used to own a store which sold a major brand of product There was a wash­ing machine which sold real cheap and that’s the one they wanted me to use m my adver­

tising When I ordered a truck- load of the new product from the factory, they would only allocate a few of these inexpen­sive models into the mix I really didn’t have any to sell when people came into my store and that is exactly what I would tell consumers when they came through the door It didn’t take me long to realize that the whole system starting right at the manufacturing level was a set-up job

Show a cheap product in an ad, get them into your store and then sell them another more expensive model In the business, it was called a leader model (I hope this explanation helps you better understand why the bait and switch tactic wag used by so many retailers)

Today in this market we have people selling appliances who are a lot smarter as well They also have learned from the past mistakes of others and they present a much cleaner image than years past Appliance stores are deaner and pleasant to walk into and a learning expenence for many who go shopping, but let’s give credit to consumers who have become smarter and better educated in the world of con­sumer affairs and to those in the media like this newspaper

the walk, said organizers try to get a vanely of gardens, from different areas of the citj’ “We have large lots, ravine lots and small lots, Bennett said We like a variety, and have them drive around tovra, and not just in one place ”

Mikolon loves the accom­plishment of growing plants “I love springtime, and I feel it’s real magical,” she said ‘God created the flowers and they are popping out of the ground

Springtime brings out the crocuses, creeping flox, irises, purple hyacinths and white daffodils What Mikolon expects in bloom that Saturday are clematis, pink and white yarrow, cosmos and cleorae

Arbors stand tall throughout the yard There’s two iron arbors, two wooden ones creat­ed by husband Myrl, another

wood one with ivy and euony- mous made by Mikolon Two arches are on the back of the house

“We have a lot of hanging flowers and ivy to create a New Orleans look on the back porch,’ Mikolon said

The yard contains a pond with a family of ducks, encir­cled by weeping willows The rams just flow through the yard and the ravine, Mikolon said “I love the sound of the water, especially after a rain,”

In the back yard, tbe hammock and a rope swi , , ^dren

Mikolon said It s almost like being on vacation

I call it a welcome garden, because you meet people and the people who garden are the nicest people ’

A P EA C EFU L PLACE

Megan Levise’s garden will also be on this year’s walk Levise shares her home with husband Mitch Ryder (yes, the Mitch Ryder) She jokes that Mitch does the mule work ’ m the garden

For Levise, gardening creat­ed an inner peace and “took her mind off of other things,’ namely a blood disorder The week following this interview, she also was scheduled to undergo a radical mastectomy She’s survived two pulmonary embolisms

When she found she was ill, she planted m the garden plants that may not bloom right away She recites a peren­nial adage "For perennids, the first year they sleep, the second year they creep and the third year they leap,” Levise said

Levise has surrounded her garden with the sound of metaphysical music, helping her with healing meditations She also has a crystal ball from Sedona, A nz, a destination for many because of its healing and metaphysical powers

The garden is a mix of plants

‘ I have a real eclectic taste, something of a structured chaos,’ Levise said “It has a lit­tle bit of everything I like the small little things ^ a t are dif­ferent or unusual ’

Her hostas are like shrubs

A small wall fountain is used as a planter near the front entrance to the home

‘They’re huge,” Levise said

Levise said medicine is important m battling illnesses, but she enjoys what alternative medicine does for her mental­ly She quotes something she’s heard ‘If you put your mind in the nght place, your body has no choice but to follow”

The garden is a focal point of her life and helps her in maintaining her health “It

keeps me hopeful and positive,” Levise said “Being m touch with the earth keeps me grounded ’

TD om ncJ Maltese Jr Builder

"I’m considering renovating my existing kitchen. Where do I start and how much do I budget for this project?"

The first step in planning a kitchen renovation is to locate a good designer to create a quality design in both appearance and function Ask your local chamber of commerce architects and builder associations or friends to recommend a quality builder Many builders offer a design- buiid approach to renovation which I personally believe is a good way to complete this type of project

Budgeting of a kitchen renovation can range from $20 000 to $40 000 These costs can be dramatically changed by the selection of floor materials cab inets appliances etcExample appliances alone can range from $4 OOO(standard) to $20 000 (upscale)

Dominic J Maltese Jr is a 28 year veteran in the construction industry with offices located in Plymouth Michigan Do you have a home renovation question? Contact Dominic at

if we take a close and honest look at our lives we can probably determine what is most important to us That is we should consider whether our primary focus is on people or things We sometimes may get so involved with situations and possessions^ that we can lose perspective as to what should be most meaningful to us The Bible has some insight as to what should be foremost in our lives it tells us that the most important commandment is that we should love the Lord our Cod w ith all our heart w ith all our soul with all our mind and with all our strength The second is this Love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12 29 31) Jesus had few possessions during His life here on earth but He was almost always involved w ith people Today, more than ever possessions are certainly necessary And although there is nothing wrong With owning a nice home or an automobile or anything else that makes our lives more pleasant we should always be aware that God wants us to have good moral values and meaningful interactions w ith family and friends Gods friendship is ours when we share it w ith others

Beverly Hills garden celebrates natureB Y M A R Y K L E M IC^AFF WRITER

The stage is part of the show for the ongoing production of Jim and Alda Mane McCook’s garden m Beverly Hills

There are plenty of good seats - including several benches tucked into the land­scape - from which to enjoy nature, and the audience is welcome

The 1 l/3-acre setting, fea­turing a hill that sweeps down to the Rouge River, draws applause itself Many plants and flowers, and an assort­ment of wildlife, perform along the borders and around the house Statuary and other accents enhance the presenta­tion

“A friend said when she came out here, ‘Either you really love (gardening) or

^ u ’re cra^,’” Alda Mane said with a broad smile and hearty laugh “I don’t know which it is A little of both ”

The site is one of six large and small gardens within Beverly Hills on the first Village Garden Tour, taking place Sunday, June 22 The event is sponsored by the Village Women’s Club of Beverly Hills (see related arti­cle)

“We have a nice variety (of gardens),” Joan Jensen of the VWCBH said of the tour

These include two gardens of professional landscape

designers and two condomini­um gardens

INVITING

The McCooks have lived on the property since 1979 Over the years the garden theme has changed The current color theme is blue and white Blue ceramic spheres dot the land­scape

A first-time visitor to the site is astonished upon going to the back of the house and seeing the garden, which flows 100 yards down to the nver At the top of the hill, behind the house, stands a large maple tree, its graceful trunk resem­bling a lyre “That sets the stage,” Jim said

The McCooks built around the maple, putting in a slate patio Barbecues and garden parties take place here Jim McCook and a daughter installed the stone steps edging one side

When they moved onto the property, the McCooks cleaned out the nver and worked the way up to the house, deanng the site to create the garden Almost every room m the house is onented toward it, including the family room and screened-m porch the family built

Even when the colorful blooms are gone, interest abounds The cast of charac­ters includes hostas in a vanety of textures and shades,

pachysandra, yellow wild lilies and yews

At this time a delicate tncol- or beech, a cluster of magnifi­cent rhododendrons, and groups of azaleas still con­tribute various hues to the scene

The McCooks planted a birch tree on the site, it now towers over part of the area They transplanted small box­wood trees from the front of the house to the garden, the trees exploded into lush growth

Along one side, almost entirely out of view, are private niches a “secret garden,’ where the McCooks’ grandchil­dren look for leprechauns on St Patrick’s Day (and find treats), and a ‘ good witches’ circle” where the youngsters have peanut butter sandwich­es

Also tucked away is a cot- tage-like tool shed built by Jim McCook

A “twig wall ’ runs along the side, held m place by cedar posts This was designed by Alda Mane McCook Instead of carrying tnmmed brandies all the way up the hill to dis­pose of them, she arranges them m the wall

Artistry can be found almost everywhere A Maine sail flag” stands in the center of the gar­den, flapping in the wind, a Frank iJoyd Wright reproduc­tion of one of the Sprites stat ues that were created for the

Midway Gardens m Chicago m 1913, metal trees from a win­dow display at the Burberry store at the Somerset Collection, a topiary from English Gardens, and statues of children, turtles and snails are among other accents

Wildlife on the site includes deer, chipmunks ( by the hun dreds, Jim said), blue heron that perch on almost any tree limb, and carp and minnows m the river A white goose that found a home on the property will take small, polite bites from bread it is offered, tw’o Canada geese act as escorts A pair of foxes has been seen m a dance, each standing on two feet and resting its paws on the other’s shoulders

Alda Mane follows a ‘ live and let live’ philosophy when it comes to gardening While she works hard at deanng around the plants, her advice doesn’t extend beyond “throw milorganite around and ‘ don t fuss

‘ If it lives, it lives If it does

C I O ( * ) ( C 8 ’ R e W G c ) Observer & Eccentric | Thursday June 19 2003 AT HOME W W W h o m e t o iv h U f e c o m

U s e 's h a r k s y s t e m ' t o h e lp k e e p f l o o r c le a nMy family continually leaves their belongings scattered around. My husband comes in from work,

dropping his papers on the counter where I need to prepare dinner. The children leave school bags on the floor and coats anywhere from the front door to the sofa. They do not put clothes or shoes where they belong. I spend too much time

picking up after my family.Most of us hke ev erj^ in g

neatly put away, but we live with o ^ e r people who have their own standards of home organization

DomesticPlanner

Diana Koenig

We need a ^ stem that every­one can agree to live by Training e family is one effective way to keep things picked up in your house This IS not an easy task but the ben­efits are worth the time spent m training

One important rule we have in our home is - “keep things off the floor’ Floor space in your home has the potential to collect clutter It is convenient to stack things on the counter and then the floor One of the best ways to prevent this from happening is to tram j^ur fam­ily

Daily reminders are some­times needed as part of the training program I compare my reminders to maintaining a car I regularly change the oil, check the brakes, and check the air in the tires I do not

require a major engine over­haul because I have main­tained my car

The same is true of my fami­ly I routinely remind them to “use it and put it away’ This prevents the need for a major overhaul in my home The revi^rds o f diligent mainte­nance training are an organ­ized home (and a smooth-run­ning car)

I use a system that has brought me success m this area I use the The Shark System I tell my family our floors are filled with sharks swimming all around An item left on the floor is eaten and gone Sharks are very clever and can devour items on chairs, dressers, and counters If I find an article on the floor or counter it becomes mine for a penod of time They can earn

it back by doing household chores

Different methods are used to tram husbands, older chil­dren and younger children The shark system is a negative and drastic approach Positive reinforcement is also success­ful For instance The pattern ‘ picking things up” is devel­oped when your ^ ild re n are toddlers They can help put toys away when you move to a new activity

Put toys away at lunch time, even if you are going to play with them after you eat At nap time, pu t toj^ away When your toddler wants to play with different toys, pick-up first You can turn cleaning up into a game by clapping, singing songs and giving lots of encouragement

Older children can earn

privileges for maintaining home organization Their rewafd-may be the rental o f a game or movie, or trip to the ice cream shop The best way to motivate my husband is to

explain that I will have more time for him if given the help I need

Tram to fail is what many women do Their motto is Do as I say not as I do’ ’ I have seen many women fnistrated over the condition of their house They complain about their family, yet they have failed in two areas First, \:hey have not set an example in the area of home organization Secondly, they are not consis­tent with their family by enforcing a standard

Every once m a while some­thing happens to remind me how well I have trained my

family One evening our family had gone out to dinner When the meal was over, our son Brian, unnoticed, left the table A few moments later he returned and, seeing our quizzical looks, replied, T for­got I was m a restaurant I was taking my dishes to the kitdien sink He was embarrassed but I was proud of him He had learned an important princi­ple

Today's Refrigerator Bulletin: "Make a list for each family member of what you expect of them to help maintain a clutter free house'"

Learn about your clematis before pruningBY LEE REICHASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

Unpruned, a clematis vine grows increasingly large over tile years, beanng flowers higher and higher until the only thing stanng you m the face is a tangle of bare, woody stems Avoid this by p ru n in g - every year

The pruning method depends on tiie flowering habit of the particular plant Fortunately, all clematis can be lumped into one of three prun­ing groups If you are not sure to which group a plant belongs, le t it grow freely for a year or two and watch how it flowers

Group 1 Clematis m tins

group flower late in the season, toward the ends of new shoots Sweet Autumn clematis and varieties such as Comtess de Bouchaud, Blue Boy, and Margot Koster are in this group

Merely lop all shoots back to within a foot of the ground just before growth begins for th e » season

Group 2 These vines flower CM'ly m the season, on last year’s stems Pamela Jackman, Willy, and Ff-ancis Rivis are in this group Pruning, again, is easy Just cut the whole plant nearly to the ground - in this case, th o u ^ , prune right after the blossoms fade The more vigorous the plant, the more severe pruning is needed

Be a little careful because very old stems don’t always resprout following severe cut­ting Therefore, don’t prune back into very old wood, or prune only some stems, or prune the whole plant back severely and have a young replacement plant ready in case of death

Group 3 These clematis vines flower more or less throughout the season, first on last years stems and then later on new shoots Many of the large-flowered hybrids such as Elsa Spath, Nelly Moser, Haku Ookan, and Henryi are in this group

Pruning Group 3 is a little trickier than pruning the other groups I f you cut a plant back

sharply before growth begins, you miss the earliest flowers, prune severely after the first flush of blooms and you miss the later ones

One option is to cut back the whole plant every few years just before g ro w ^ begins (sac­rificing the earhest blossoms), with little or no pruning in the intervening years Or divide the plant in half, and severely prune an alternate half each year

For the most refined approach, lightly thin out and disentangle stems before growth begins, then go over the plants again, severely shortening stems beanng an early flush o f flowers nght after those early flowers fade

■ fter watching the grocery store flshelves fill with produce import- ” ed from Central Amenca, Chile, South Africa and California all ven­

ter long, it might be a little startling to learn how big agri­culture IS to the state of

MichiganIts the states sec­

ond-largest industry bringing m $37 bil­lion annually accord­ing to the Michigan

Department of Agriculture In fact, Michigan leads

the nation in 10 crops and ranks fifth or higher in 32

crop categoriesEveryone knows about the cherry

production 185 million pounds annually and 75 percent o f the nations ta rt cherries But Michigan also is ranked third in asparagus production nationally with 25 mil­lion pounds grown each year and is third m apple production — and the leading grower of Jonathans and Northern Spys — widi l bilhon pounds

Nearly 43 percent of all cultivat­ed blueberries in the U S come from Michigan

But there are other produce ftiat sprout across the state Michigan is second nationally m celery produce at 85 5 nulhon pounds At 13 2 million pounds o f carrots, Michigan pro­duces the third-highest total Redhaven peaches, developed at Michigan State University m the 1940s, is the most widely plant­ed peach m h e world

is a $31 bi Mi chi gan

The state grows over 125 commodities commercially, making Michigan second nationally in agricultural diversity

Summer takes Its time to arrive, bu t what plenti- fiil bounty is available once the warm weather gets here W hat better goods to buy - you get the nutritional value of the fresh produce, while helping a local farmer and the states economy

Go ahead and stock up on your next road tnp , either north or west­ward, or at your local farmer’s mar­ket

Asparagus has just stepped up to the plate and the strawberry season is on deck The strawberry season for Michigafi starts m early June in the Lower Peninsula and ends in late July in the Upper Peninsula. This year, due to the unusually cold spnng weather and late spring frosts and freezes, the strawberry season will be a little later than usual, according to Michigan State University’s Southeast Michigan distnct horticulture agent Bob 'IVitten on the MDAs Web site

Thanks to numerous frost pro­tection measures, strawberry plants are in full bloom and yields are not expected to decrease, said the MDA

Gov Jennifer Granholm urged consumers to Select a Taste of Michigan’ in a new campaign

GiveThanks

Gerald

have to travel far to experi­ence the amaz­ing diversity of bread During my earlier life as a corporate executive involved in international business, I encountered loaves o f all different types

- often reflecting different cli­mates, cultures and traditions

DELIVERING THE BREAD

But prior to those experi­ences, I remember as a boy growing up m a small village in England how the baker came to our house each week He parked his van at the end of our long driveway and trudged up to our front door with a big basket on his arm, foil of dif­ferent loaves, each one beckon­ing to be bought

He had afloured-top farm­house round, a caraway- encrusted long loaf of pungent rye, a black treacle bread (actually an Irish specialty), a pan loaf of white milk bread with which tea sandwiches (Cucumber, watercress or tomato) were made, and a little loaf o f brown bread with the name Hovis in relief along the side That was my favorite

Later in life, in my teenage years, I spent summer vaca­tions m Germany There I fell in love with a profusion of lye breads

In color, they ranged from light brown to pitch black Many with a crust studded with whole grains We enjoyed them for breakfast with cheese and vanous types of wurst, again at lunch time with a mixed salad, and at dinner with the entree

Each time, bread was central to the meal It was a simple but celebrated component

My favonte German bread was the Schwarzenwalder Bauerbrot, of Black Forest peasant bread

It usually came as a huge seven-pound loaf and we would cut off hunks to eat with hearty Bavanan soup To this day, Germans have a passion for flavorfol breads

The same is true m most of the countries of Europe

And I was amused when I read the other day tha t Darko Mihcic (the Yugoslavian bas­ketball star who may well soon join th e Detroit Pistons) said to a reporter that he loves the idea o f playing in the United States, “but I do miss real bread ”

Speaking of sports, I remem­ber a while ago sportscaster Frank Beckman came by our bakery in downtown Rochester and his eyes lit up when he saw tha t we make authentic vyk o m b ro t Beckman told me tha t when he came hom e from school as a boy, his grandmoth­er m ade little sandwiches with this dark, dense rye bread - sprinkling sugar on the but­tered squares He looked for­ward to re-enacting tha t treas­ured memory (And it should be noted that FVank has grown into a strapping fellow')

WONDERFUL BREADS

In term s of my own expenences, a school trip to

the Loire valley gave m e my first love affair with some of the wonderful breads o f I France -

I still have a photo o f |myself at 14, looking very English in a school blazer and | tie, holding a baguette over my r shoulder like a nfle (unrealisti-s cally thinking I could pass as a Frenchman') *

Later on I would re tu rn to , France on several occasions - | discovenng the awesome array | of shapes, textures and tastes of regional breads In every town, magnificent golden loaves - indigenous to that area - contribute to th e great culinary hentage o f France At^ The Give Thanks Bakery we create some of these, fh>m tim ^ to time, to add to the visual appeal ofthe loaves we make * every day

One o f the most majestic of the regiond breads is the couronne, which originated in the Bordeaux region Noel Black, our head baker, skillfolly makes the couronne by shap- I mg eight or nine equal-sized | rounds of dough, attached to form a ring ®

In the center, a th in collar of 3 dough covers half th e rounds 1 creating a lovely contrast m color s

W hen baked. It’s a beautiful | example ofthe baker’s craft | and snapping It apart yields a ® collection of dinner rolls, guOT-s anteed to win adm iration s

If you’d like to enjoy aa couronne, head for 4Bordeaux. ^

Or downtown Rochester ] Given a little notice, we’ll ? be happy to make one for s you I

Pet and condo rulesBelieve It or not, someone In our condominium wants to maintain a pig In our project claiming It is a pet. My documents Just allow one pet and do not describe the type of pet involved nor do they place a weight limitation on it. Do you have any comments?

It would be difficult to comment on your question without looking m detail at your condominium documents but m a case out of the Hawaii Intermediate Appellate Court, the Court held that a pig betw'een 1 ,2 0 0 -1 ,6 0 0 pounds was deemed a pet This was a zoning case but since it involved a homeowners association, it might still be relevant In any event, it appears that It is time for your association to revise its restnctions

Most folks think residential when the topic IS real estate But don’t forget that we also spend a great deal of time in work environments, entertainment venues and on mfrastructure that gets us from here to there

Good designs, quality construction and landscaping can make a big difference in quality of life

Eight projects this year were selected as construction and design award winners by the Engineering Society o f Detroit

FHA 'secrets'*

save moneyI f you currently have an

FHA-insured loan - or if you have had one m the

past - the information in today’s column could be w o r^ a ton of money to you

There are two little-known aspects of being an FHA bor­rower that can save you money

The first money-saver is called an FHA “streamlined refinance ’ This process allows current FHA borrow­ers to automatically reduce their mortgage interest rate w ithout income or asset veri­fication, without necessarily pulling a credit report, and usually without an appraisal or out-of-pocket closing costs

Typically, even a minimal rate reduction on a $100,000 home will save a borrower $400 annually

Eligible FHA borrowers m ust not have been over 30 days late on their monthly mortgage payments for the past year, and their new interest rate m ust be at least ys-percent better than their current rate

In short, FHA borrowers w ith rates currently greater than 7 percent should be on the phone with a lender immediately to improve the ir rate

The streamline process also allows FHA borrowers in adjustable-rate mortgages to convert to fixed-rate loans

The second money saver I S for ex-FHA borrowers who have either refinanced into conventional m ort­gages, or sold their proper­ties to buy others I f those homeowners were in their FHA mortgages for less than five years when they were paid off, they may be due a refund

This FHA refund is actu­ally money th a t the borrow­er (probably unknowingly) pre-paid to help offset his monthly mortgage insurance premiums

The onginal account may have been several thousand dollars The refund amount due will be prorated based on the amount initially paid and the age of the loan

If your loan was less than a few years old, your refund could be qmte large

However, even a small refund will look better in your bank account than m Uncle Sam’s Ifyou think you may the eligible for a refund, you may phone HUD’s refund line a t (800) 697- 6967, or visit “Industry

Links” on my Web site W W W HomeQuarters BIZ If you Wish to streamline your current FHA loan, any FHA mortgage lender can get you started

The highest of 12 bids was $154,400, only $4,400 above what owners Jim Pruett and Rick Runge paid for the house

“I'm not going to give up after 30 days,” Pruett said

Pruett said the house will agam be listed on the auc­tion site in hopes o f a higher bid

They also may try their luck with a real estate agent

He also will con­tact the city about buying the house, possibly for a muse­um, or the University of Nebraska

Carson attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln before getting his start m broadcast­ing at an Omaha radio station

Pruett and Runge bought the house in March

They put the home on virtual market after it was refurbished

AP - More than a dozen Allegan County tamilies are hammenng, drilling and plastenng their way to home ownership

Hentage Homes, a Holland nonprofit organiza­tion, IS sponsonng a project that allows the families to trade their sweat for a down payment and income- adjusted mterest rate

The prospective home- owners and their relatives and friends have pledged 30 hours o f construction work a week on dieir own and their n e i^b o rs’ houses Tbgedier diey are building all 14 homes m Otsego Township’s Hentage Meadows development

“We can steer e boat, but l h ^ are the ones doing the work,” project manager Greg Chnstophersen said “Tho^ earn every bit of it ”

Few of the participants had construction expenence before they enrolled A U S Department of Agnculture grant paj^ for 10 weeks of dassroom instruction m construction techniques, plus technical assistance and onsite supervision

As they budd homes, the

participants also are forging a strong sense of fhendship and commumty

“We're seemg each others joys and sorrows,” said Willetta Bills, 42, a sin^e mother of four who plans to move into a three-bedroom ranch house “We work side by side, so we find out about e ^ other”

Bills told the Kalamazoo Gazette she first drought the project would be too time- consuming But her co- workers encouraged her to get more information, and she finally decided to sign on

The work hasn't been easy, she said T h ^ a re required to plug away on the project every day after work and every Saturday, so she missed many of her dau^ter's senior year dack meets

But she said realizing her dream of owning a home with ayard has made it w o rth ^ ile

“Tm still in shock. It's just incredible,” she said about seeing her house grow from a sheU to a structure with floors, a roof and siding

The houses vary m size

and design, and the parha- pants were able to choose from several floor plans Each house is worth about $130,000, and most will cany a mortgage of about $110,000, project director Tim Burgess said

Duane Thompson has been donatmg Ins time on thesitefo rafoend He said the hardest part was work­ing through die fhgid Michigan winter

“Tb be honest with you,I'll probably never do any of this stufi' agam,” he said of his newly developed con­struction skills “But I’d say if I can do it, anyone can do it”

Hentage Homes has organized similar projects m Ottawa and Allegan (xiunties for mne years The Hentage Meadovra develop­ment IS its b i ^ s t and fin^ self-help housing project

The agency h ^ decided to shift its focus to support­ive housing for disabled clients, Burgess said The move comes m part because die self-help housing pro­gram IS meant to b r e ^ even, and any d e l ^ make it vulnerable to a loss

TODD DVORAKASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

W hen It comes to dim r^, learning and earning poten­tial and lifestyle appeal for young workers, the Cedar Rapids-Iowa City region is the state’s best place to live, a new s u rv ^ shows

Cedar Bnpids- lowa City out­ranked die compe­tition in categories for health and envi­ronment, career opportunities, life­long learning options and the broad category of f^ i^ r s descnbed as “cool things to do ”

The study used a range o f lifestyle and emplcyment factors and focus group data from six Iowa cities to reflect how their community appeals to workers ages 22- 42, known as Generation X

At a time when most Iowa cities are looking for ways to retain their young

New homes could bring tiope to tragic area

A P -A developer has,fijq>ressed mter­est m building homes on the site of the ele­mentary school diat gamed mtemational notoriety when a fii^-grade student w as^ o tan d k lled by a classmate.

Prakshac Kapoor ofPK. M o r tg ^ and Financing m Okemos has o ^ re d a

proposal to the board of education diat caUs for die construc­tion of 51 homes on die more dian 10- acre Buell H ^ e n ta ry Sckxil property

Buell closed last year as part die school district's efforts to erase a $6 12 ,0 0 0 budget defiat

people, Rebecca Ryan, founder of Next Generation Consulting, said the results should prompt leaders to rethmk hiring prac­tices and tradition­al economic devel­opment and com­munity planning theories

“This IS Iowa's best bet nght now for attracting young talent,” Ryan said of the region known also as the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Te^noiogy corn- dor “As Iowa City and Cedar Rapids go, so goes the state of Iowa for talent attraction ”

Ryan, a wnter and frequent media consultant on Generation X, was commissioned by the Iowa Department of Economic Development to do the study

Communities surveyed included Des Moines, Iowa City-Cedar Rapids, Muscatine, Carroll,

PDF BQE0B0a4OSa

Davenport and FortDodge-WebsterCity

Ryan said the results give each community an inventory of its strengths and weaknesses in cate- gones that appeal to a generation that tends to value what a community has to ofier more than an employer

“Employers have much more to think about today when it comes to attracting and keeping a young work force,” Ryan said

TVends show younger workers prefer communities with a diverse pop­ulation, access to outdoor activities and a wealth of afterwork options, from cafes, bistros, locally owned retail shops and cultural events

“Live first, work second is a compet­itive economic development strat­egy,” she told busi­ness leaders at a seminar here Thursday

Research also shows younger workers have dif­ferent workplace priorities, from forming better rela­tionships with managers to access to the best tools, technology and training

Ryan said it's im portant for lead­ers to view Iowa as a competitor in a global race for a shnnkm g worker talent pool

With the U S Department of Labor predicting a shortage of 10 mil­lion young workers by 2010, d ie stakes will only get higher, she said

Several Iowa communities have undertaken multi- million dollar civic projects to enhance qudity o f life as a way to appeal to companies and workers

Next week, vot­ers in Cedar Rapids will have a chance to determine the fate o f the pro­posed River Run project

Funded by a mix of private and pub­lic money, it fea­tures urban renew­al proposals pnzed by workers and retirees, such as loft apartm ents, retail space, a year-round farmer's market in an area south of downtown

"It's critical for being future-onent- ed inyourthink- mg,” Ryan said of the proposal

B Y D A L E BUSS

W ith the Navigator, Lm coln has accom plished somedung that has become more and more difficult to do in an increasingly crowded luxury-SUV m arket Make a statem ent The 2003 Navigator has some­th ing to say to buyers who m ight be considering domestic competitors such as d ie Cadillac Escalade as well as foreign nvals such as the Lexus 1X470

Navigator’s message is that it has become a highly worthy com petitor m the category, thanks to per­form ance im provem ents, added am enities and an interior redesign that has made the vehicle one o f the most comfortable and cocooning in its dass

Clearly, while Escalade—w im its rakish design and high-proffle, sports-superstar customers — is trymg to capture the media buzz, with Navigator, Ford Motor Co has been content to go after the broader plain of the upscale suburban buyer So the extenor is relative­ly boxy yet still regal, imposing but still approachable The high-end version that I drove, which pnces out at suggested retail of more than $60,000, d so includes h i^ -tensity headlights, a moonroof and 18-inche all- season tires with chrome wheels

And some of the best innovations appear on the ou tside as well A new h ea ted -m irro r design left Navigator w ith w ider glass for better visibility. The power side m irrors also fold inward An integrated tu rn signal is a nice although not unique feature on the mirrors Soft floods light up the area under the mirrors at night Also, the liftgate is power-operated, a feature ladiung even on almost all other luxury SUVs

Niftiest, ^ o u ^ , are ftie power running boards, which may be unique on any vehide They automati­cally, quiddy extend a full four inches when a door is opened, providing the extra step that is absolutely nec­essary for comfortable ingress with Navigator Then they automatically retract when you’ve dosed all the doors, whidi moves the running boards out of harm ’s way in tight spaces The vehicle looks sleeker with the running b o a r^ retracted And here’s an attnbute with

T h e 2 0 0 3 Linco ln N a vig a to r is w o rth a second look.obvious appeal to soccer m om s The boards stay cleaner

The 300-horsepower engine gives this heavy vehi­d e plenty o f locomotion, especidly because Ford has engineered the revised powerplant to provide maxi­m um torque in acceleration, which proceeds smooth­ly Mileage, at 12 a gallon in city dnving, is typically abysmal for vehides this large But Navigator’s han­dling - using a new vanable-ratio, speed-sensing rack- and-pinion system - is responsive and precise, much like Lincoln sedans The overall effect is much closer to th e state-of-the-art nde in a Lexus SUV than the slushier feeling in GM’s biggest and best-equipped vehides

Interior design and amenities, however, are where th e 2003 Navigator really shines I t s breathtaking upon first glance, with a wide band of vrood ringing the entire cabin, and Lmcoln’s tradem ark new satm- nickel finish providing a cnsp sheen to the hard sur- flices while supple leather covers the comfort zones A click-open cover of satin nickel nicely hides the audio controls, and an analog clock in th e center o f the instrum ent panel is a refreshing change from liquid- crystal d ig itd tim e displays A cnsp white light back­lights all controls at night, even those in the rear Of course, the vehicle offers a GPS-controlled navigation system featunng a hqmd-crystal display in the center o f th e in stru m en t panel, b u t overall I don’t th ink Lmcoln’s system architecture or display is up to the

level o f leaders such as LexusThe roominess is overwhelming Second-row cap­

tain’s chairs m ean that tiie vehide’s maximum capaci­ty is only seven, and the console between the second- row seate - while indudm g a storage bm, arm rest and cupholders - seems like underutilization o f space But at one point I pu t three average- to large-sized young and m idd le-aged m en m th e b ack row, a n d each reported a comfortable ndm g esqienence All o f tha t passenger room still left plenty o f space for cargo in the back And m a major nod to suburban buyers who value ease and functionality above all else. Navigator’s third seat is lowerabie with a power switch instead of the manual levers tha t everyone else employs

O ther niceties inside included air-conditioned seats, which really worked quite effectively wifli exten­or tem peratures m the Eighties There’s an in-dash, six-CD changer, a prem ium audio system and side- curtain air bags tha t are set to mflate in an instant if the control system senses that the big vehicle is ready to tip over "ftiere’s also a new low-pressure-tire warn­ing system, w hich is especially useful in a tall and heavy vehicle such as Navigator in a situation in which tire failure could threaten loss o f control

Navigator is a far worthier entry than it was before And that s saying something in this segment

Hot Ticket

Parrotheads flock to Buffet concertBY LANA MINISTAFF WRITER

The Jimmy Buffet and the Coral Reefer Band performance at DTE on June 24 is sold out

Just because Parrotheads nationwide gobbled the tickets doesn t mean you can t celebrate the singers island lifestyle during “Jimmy Buffet week” Events are scheduled all over metro-Detroit

But first, whats a Parrothead"^A Parrothead is someone who

enjoys Buffets island-lifestyle - tropical atmosphere and doing good things for the community,’ said Parrothead Sue Aprea, a past president of the Detroit Parrothead Club “Its more than just liking his music The music IS the common ground for like- minded people ”

Parrotheads are social, light hearted and %villing to do chanty work. And of course, they usually like margantas and beach parties

They’ll often travel to different cities and meet at Buffets con­certs Parrotheads are instant friends and the Parrotheads in Paradise Web site, wwwphip com, connects them

Judy Culbertson has attended countless Buffet concerts She lived the island Parrothead lifestyle for years in the Flonda Keys during the 1970s Years later she and her family re locat­ed to Michigan Initially she felt like the only Parrothead here Today, she’s the president of the Detroit Parrothead Club and spends nights planning chantable and social events for its members

Culbertson said the group will distribute 1,000 litter bags at DTE so fans can clean their mess after the show

You’ve probably seen a Parrothead The unofficial uni form IS shorts, hat with Buffet’s Margantaville restaurant logo and Hawaiian or parrot print shirt They might have a Corona or exotic dnnk in hand

Buffet is known for his Key West inspired music with lyncs that tell stories The big hit of course is Margantaville

Jimmy Buffet week begins June 21 so put on your flip-flops and head for the islands, or at least a local pub to hear island inspired music You can be a Parrothead just for a day but you might get addicted to the fun

Jimmy Buffet is playing a sold out show with his Coral Reefer Band at DTE on June 24 For those missing the show there s an array of bands playing island inspired music m his honor Fans, also known as Parrotheads, have a choice of local events to attend

WANT TO BE A PARROTHEAD?What's a Parrothead: A diehard Jimmy Buffet fan

How to be one: Love Buffet s music subscribe to an

isiand lifestyle Love blended fruity drinks beach parties and burgers Join other Parrotheads with

charitable work

Who is a Parrothead: Anyone Find locals at

WWW detroitparrotheadclub com

DO - Wear shorts or grass skirts whether you re

male or female At Buffet concerts men wear hats

with palm trees or pink balloon hats shaped like flamingos Wear shirts with Hawaiian or flamingo

prints Pin a fake parrot to your shoulder Adopt-a- highway or do other charitable work Find other

DON'T - Hate islands especially the Keys Think blended drinks are for women only Drink while

adopting the highway Be a mean drunk Men don t wear suits to Parrothead events Women don t wear

party Buffets philosophy is Party with Cause Think the only topic of conversation is Jimmy Buffet

Among the films opening this weekend are two by well-respected fhrectors with strong track records

The first is The Hulk, directed by Ang Lee

Lee came up with the concept for this film adaptation of the classic Marvel Comics senes And, the movie has been

Bet your Christmas wasn't like this onePoor Carhtos

All he wants to do the day he gets out of prison is to take a Christmas

gift to his son Instead he ends up meetmg die devil and getting pulled down the toi­let into hell

One Hell o f a Christmas, indeed This ap% named new offenng by Shaky Gonzales, one of the most promising directors out there these days since Wes Craven and John Carpenter have decon­structed, IS a wild nde

The story centers on a talon acquired by an antiquities dealer Through a twisted set of circumstances, the talon comes into the possession of Carhtos’ friend, Mikey

But what a friend. Mikey has been shar­ing mattress space with Canltos’ wife while he was in prison He’s also run afoul of some local bad guys, who attempt to beat the heU out of him outside a bar But M ik^s got the talon and it gives him supernatural strength

After disposing of the bad guys, Mikey and Carhtos get into to a whole other

Beyond Bad

Greg Kowalski

world of trouble when they accidentally (or maybe not) kill a hooker Not at all sat­isfied with that turn of events, the decom­posing lady returns from her baclq^d grave and attempts to tear Carhtos apart

It gets worse The stuffed reindeer Carhtos bought for his son is possessed and also attempts to tear him apart And then the devil appears to reclaim his talon, along with Mikey, whom he drags down to hell And that’s how Carhtos gets pulled dovm the toilet This is better seen than described

Through all of this, Carhtos remains a sympathetic character, which is a main reason the film succeeds

Only the cop-out ending (What it a dream’ ) spoils the ftin Still there's enough action along the way to keep your eyes on the TV screen and finger off the fast forward button of the remote

Howie's backA n d h e ' s r e a d y t o m a k e y o u l a u g h , a l o t

BY LANA MINISTAFF WRITER

Howie Mandel is energetic, quick, unpredictable and endlessly hilarious

A conversation with Mandel, who will be performing June 24-25 at Andiamo’s Celebnty Showroom in Warren, goes like this

Howie when did you realize you were funny? When did you realize you loved comedy?

Howie Probably Tbesday

Are you stilf doing 200 shows each year?

Howie I slowed down a little bit and (silence and then laughter) I don’t know what else to say The readers can finish that sentence Why did Howie slow down? You decide'

Seriously, he reduced his yearly 200 performances nationwide to spend more time with the kids

“But not my kids Other kids He’s acting silly again He lives in Los

Angeles with his wife and three children “To my family I’m not funny, I’m just

embarrassing even when I’m not doing anything,” Mandel said “They don’t even want people to know that they have a dad

Funny againMandel said the Andiamo shows will

nng similar to others - fresh There will be a lot of improvisation and audience participation

“Of course I have jokes to fell back on, but the fun part of comedy is improv, talk mg with the audience and seeing what happens and if I have nothing to say, well that can be fanny too Real humor is in the moment It’s honest, pure and funny”

On-stage Mandel’s wit is breakneck quick

“I love performing It s like a big party with me as the center of attention' ”

Mandel dives into his famous young “Bobby’ characterifthe audience demands It, which IS often He shaved his playful curly hair for a cool-guy style - bald with a goatee and big genuine smile The hairless head, he said, is the result of a whim when he accidentally shaved one sidebum shorter fiian the other He was prepanng for a movie role where he’d play the bad boy and as he tried to even the sideburns “things got worse” So he made the quids decision to shed It afi

The style is boimd to take Mandel mto a new direction as his career is ever-evolvmg His resume mcludes a stamng role m the popular 1980s drama senes St Elsewhere followed by the mammothly successful stand-up tour soon afterward He was also

Mason-Girardot offers exceBY ELEANOR HEALDCORRESPONDENT

It has no imitator on either side of the Detroit River In fact), Mason-Girardot Alan Manor, listed by GQ magazine as one of the 50 finest restaurants in North America is the epitome of unique

That begins with its location m a Victorian house and extends to the owners, chef, menu, service and overall charm Singularity places it among the top metro Detroit area destination dining spots

HISTORIC SETTING

rLocated in Windsors histone Old

Sandwich Towne, developed in the early1860s, the Victorian style house was built in 1892 by George W Mason, an Indiana merchant who became a naturalized Bntish subject and ulti­mately mayor of Sandwich Towne That explains the first of a stnng of names attached to the restaurant

Then Francis Girardot, a local tobacco and cigar merchant who owned a store on the southeast corner of Sandwich and Ouellette in Windsor, bought the house Members of the Girardot family lived there for nearly 72 years

Ownership changed frequently between 1952 and 1979, during which bme the house was allowed to deteriorate It was then bought by the Alan family, its present own ers, who restored it to its original state between 1979 and 1983 and opened it as a restaurant

Following the death of restaurateur Fuad Alan, the house operated as a culinary school, run by the Windsor Board of Education, until his I\irkish-born widow and extraordinary cook Pen Alan reopened it with her daughter, actor/playwnght Misli and son-in-law and actor Dhiren Miyanger who gave up their careers m the U K and moved to Canada to aid m the venture

Dhiren (who prefers using his first name) continues his acting career as Jinnah, a crime reporter who solves murders in the CBC-TV series Jmnah on Crime His acting talents enhance his maitre d style

VINTAGE

A first-time diner at Mason Girardot is awed by the architectural features of the home In warm weather its difficult to ven ture away from the garden with its fresh herbs, grape leaves and vegetables used in some menu preparations

Once inside, however, Dhiren’s presence at your table changes the mood to thoughts of food Go hungry or with a group because

HPNOTIQ ($25) puts a unique taste spin on the trendy blue martini Mix two ounces of HPNOTIQ, one ounce of premi­um vodka and a splash of fresh lemon juice Shake over ice and pour into a chilled martini glass

And the juvenile ban on French products’ Get over it’

Art

Clay artists - and their birds - flock to fairBY LINDA ANN CHOMiNSTAFF WRITER

Donna Beaubien thought artists Mark Chatterley and Richard Salay were rare birds the first time she saw their day work

Chatterley’s larger-than-hfe figures seem almost haunting — his crows and dogs whimsical or deep depending on your perspective

Salay creates humorous birds of a species unknown to science They make any room or garden fun

The two artists are showing their work along with 148 painters, sculptors, ceramists, jewelers, and fiber artists at the third-annual Fine Art at Meadow Brook Saturday-Sunday, June 21-22, m Rochester

Beaubien is bnnging wall art created from handmade paper and paintings on silk and owns some of Chatterley’s work. She knows Salay from coordinating artists for Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center’s Art m the Park

“The show is half new artists, says Beaubien, Meadow Brook art fair chair­man 1 go to great lengths to keep it looking fresh I visit numerous fairs look-

FINE ART AT MEADOW BROOKWhat: 150 artists display a variety of mediums in the show presented by the

Works like Earth Goddess stop viewers m their tracks Smaller male and female figures radiate from the 6-foot sculpture that speaks to the concept no man is an island

On a more whimsical note, Chatterley dresses a 7-foot figure in a blue bird hel met complete with big beak and eyes A towering 5-foot dog illustrates the signifi­cance of animals in daily life

Chatterley s become an internationally known artist for creating such startling work as Seer, a life size figure coveied in eyeballs

The work didn t evolve overnight 1 he Wilhamston artist grew up taking art classes at the Plymouth Community Arts Council then went on to earn bachelors and master’s degrees m fine art from Michigan State Umversiiy Now he shov, s work in places as far away as Taiwan

I want to have them try to figure out what I m trying to say, says Chatterley who s teaching the spring term at Oakland Community College in Royal Oak I’m searching for answers I explore different religions ”

Chatterley has a sense of humor that keeps viewers wondering if he s serious

Tbie answer is yes“Its not pretty stuff, he says Theiesa

sense of time and mystery Salay, on the other hand, is all about

humor The Tboy artist is bringing birds and more birds to Meadow Brook Right now hes up to his elbows m clay in his Pontiac studio Dunng the summer Salay works every day just to keep up with the demand

I used to do ceramic birdhouses and thought I need to do a bird, says Salay What came out is 3- to 4 foot birds Thats when I said, Well, OK 111 show up

today I go to the studio every day and say Hello clay What s m you today’

The birds just kind of emerge Id idnt do 'L inLentionally but they are so fimny, just a stitch, this 4-foot bird on skinny legs ”

His inspiration indirectly comes from the birds in his Troy back yard It’s the perfect testing ground for the clay crea­tures

I test birds outside m winter, says Salay, who has work m gallenes in Toledo, San ^ancisco, Key West and Charlestojti They re basically for indoor nesting, but I

like to see how tliey 11 hold up It helps me to build a better bird

Some of my ideas come from people' People are so funny They come into my booth and pick the one friat looks like them It s sort of like how people look like their dogs They come back the next year and pick out a companion ”

F R O M P A G E Ell

England s National Museum of Photography, Film & Television, takes visi­tors into M s office and Q’s workshop, past a few villains and beautiful women, even through a death-defying stunt, before completing the mission at hand

“It’s very much like what you would have to do in a Bond film Unexpected cir­cumstances arise, and you have to make a decision,” said Greuther “Suffice to say, it’s an exhibit thats not just about looking at things, Its about participating

Nonetheless, the-loofong-at-thmgs expect of the exhibit has its own allure, especially for movie buffs and Bond fans More than 100 two- and three-dimension­al Bond film artifacts, including story boards, costumes, concept drawings and movie prop models are on display There’s also a significant collection of onginal props, from Rosa Klebbs poison-tipped spiked shoe to Oddjob’s lethal steel- nmmed bowler hat

Film clips tie in thematically to enhance visitors’ behind-the-scenes look at the movie-makmg process In the end, the exhibit represents 20 of the 21 films made — all but the latest flick. Die Another Day

TRANSFORMATION

It does demystify Bond a bit, added Greuther Tou come away with a history of things You get a sense of how Bond and the films evolved

From Sean Connery to Roger Moore to Pierce Brosnan, on screen Bond has undergone significant transformation

For instance. Bonds overt sexism has been toned down in recent years, said David MacGregor of Livonia, a screenplay vmter and film expert who teaches at Wayne State University Now its more of a two-way street between Bond and the women, he said “Women were almost like a new kind of accessory or gadget in the early films In the later films, they have more of an identity and character of their own

However, such a change helps explain Bond s longevity, added MacGregor Bond still has legs because he can be “plugged into the sensibility of the times At the same time, Bond and his world always deliver on a tned-and true formula for box office success audience fantasy fulfill­ment

Detroit Film Theatre Director Elliot Wilhelm has a slightly less cynical take on the 007 phenomenon Yes, the world loves Bond’s playground, but they also adore Bond the human being, Wilhelm said, admitting he, too, is a devoted fan

“Bond is kind of a little boy, he’s close to the playboy of the ’50s with the martinis and the women,” said Wilhelm “But, as politically incorrect as James Bond has been, he has always been a good, decent guy Ultimately, Bond is going to do the nght thing”

Martha Reeves & The Vandellas are backBY LiNDA ANN CHOMINSTAFF WRiTER

Martha Reeves is the perfect Motown legend to tell the story of its early years She was a secretary there before going on to fame as leader of Martha Reeves & The Vandellas

Now, 40 years later, shes singing the praises of Motown president Berry Gordy in the Las Vegas style revue “Come and Get These Memories” Thursday-Sunday, June 19-22, at the Detroit Opera House

Come and Get These Memones is a revue of the Motown sound,” said Reeves It s all the songs made famous by Mary

Wells, Marvin Gaye, the Four Tops, Temptations, and Supremes

I’m back with the ongmal Vandellas Rosalind Holmes and Annette Helton plus my sisters Delphme and Lois We sang background on Marvin Gaye’s ‘Hitchhike ’ We can’t have Marvin but we sure can have his music

These are songs about love not destruc> tion It soothes you Marvin Gaye songs were always loving and kind even the ones about the environment We’h also sing Mary Wells When they hear ‘My G u/ the whole audience is going to sing along”

Reeves remembers the 1962 tours with The Supremes, Mary Wells, Little Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Little Stevie Wonder, The Contours, Marvin Gaye, and The Miracles Fourteen Las Vegas entertam ers and a 13-piece orchestra recreate those days by brmging to life songs like “Stop in die Name of Love, Ooh Baby Baby, *My Girl,’’ and "Whafs Going On” Reeves and the Vandellas do hits like ‘ Danang m the Street,” Jimmy Mack,” ‘Nowhere to Run, and (Love IS Like a) Heat Wave’

Were going to do as much as we can to bnng back the sound, said Reeves Berry Gordy was a big part of the Motown sound Berry Gordy made 30 acts famous and accomplished the sound of young America We’re going to do what Berry Gordy set out to do - to sing music that makes you feel like you visited the fountain of youth

MARTHA REEVES S THE VANDELLASWhat: Celebrate the music of Motown in a Las Vegas style show

“People still do the Twist and Hully Gully You hear the music at a party and you get up and you dance The Motown tours are folklore

“I look forward to the party that comes with the show It’s a world premiere That makes it special Its something I always wanted to do ”

The Detroit Opera House performances kicks off a tour to run from September to November m major venues Steve Bryant of Platinum Entertainment says that’s quite an undertaking

Its a quarter of a million dollar pro­duction to fly these people out from Las Vegas where most of the cast is from,” said Bryant These are great entertainers Ron Stevenson and Fair Play have been doing the Four Tops for nine years in Vegas

This IS something they won t be able to see again on a stage like the Detroit Opera House There are about 50 songs - Beechwood 456789, Tracks of My Tears, ‘You Beat Me to the Punch

Martha and The Vandellas sang behind Marvin on Hitchhike, Pnde and Joy and Stubborn Kind of Fellow Martha was out on the road and sang behind Marvin The Four Tops sang background behind her This is the history of what happened back in the ‘60s thats in the Smithsonian

Matt Michaels Trio and friends record CDBY LINDA ANN CHOMINSTAFF WAITER

Matt Michaels just never seemed to get around to recording his own CD In the early years he was too busy playing with legends like Peggy Lee, Al Hirt, Doc Sevennsen, and Barbra Streisand The last 24 years were devoted to teaching at Wayne State University and co-foundmg the jazz studies program with Dennis Tini and Jini Hartway

Matt Michaels Tno and Matt Michaels Tno & Fnends were well worth the wait But hear for yourself Thursday, June 26 when the trio introduce cuts from the CDs at Haimony House in Berkley Vocalists Judie Codiill and April Tim, guitarist Steve Carryer, trombonist Ron Kischuk, and trumpeter Don Swindell join Michaels, bassist Dan Jordan, and drummers Jerry McKenzie and Jim Ryan on stage McKenzie and Ryan alternate laying down the beat just as they do Wednesday nights at Rons Fireside Inn in Garden City The trio’s been perform­ing there for four years

“It was quite spontaneous,’ said Michaels of Southfield For the Fnends CD I asked those who had worked the

club most often then asked them what they ivanted to do We recorded with Jack Brokensha last July after the Michigan Jazz Festival at Schoolcraft College We left some out but maybe on the next CD

Michaels and the tno spent three months in the recording studio at Wayne State University Each of the 13 Fnends tracks spotlight musicians such as vocal ists Barbara Ware and Harvey Thompson, trumpeter John Trudell, saxophonist Larry Nozero, George Benson and Russ Miller, and vibist Jack Brokensha who Michaels played with for many years

I think theres some histoncd signifi­cance to the Fnends CD,” said Michaels There are top flight performers but some

people haven t heard about like Judie Cochill Fnends is for anyone who likes a light type of jazz, standards that are recog­nizable Theres something for everyone

For the trio CD we chose songs that we play the most They’re kind of our favorites and those we receive requests for most often”

Three of the cuts Michaels wrote - the Bossa Nova style In Passing and the beautiful song My Kaye for his wife An Australian tour with Jack Brokensha m 1997 inspired Not Long Enough

Jordan writes m the liner notes he hopes listeners “enjoy heanng as much as we have enjoyed performing Like Michaels hes never recorded a CD of his own even though hes featured on ones with Bess Bonnier, Barbara Ware and Jack Brokensha

Jordans been playing with Brokensha since I960, with Michaels longer than that, and with George Benson and John Trudell nearly as many years

I hope musicians who know what s going on technically will hear some of the nuances We want to interest them as well, said Jordan

For Fnends we wanted to have a bal­ance It couldn t all be fast Some of the guys we play with said I can play any thing What do you want me to play’ so they were rounding out the record stylis ticdly

Like Michaels said ‘ there’s something for eveiyone

Rocker plays Magic BagBY CHRYSTAL UEBOiDSTAFF WRITER

Former Jefferson Airplane and Hot Uma guitarist Jorma Kaukonen is still going strong nearly 40 years after his career began He has a new album and a new sound and hes bnngm’ it to the Magic Bag

“I don t really move m the ‘rock star’world anymore, he said “Occasionally I do large stages at festivals, but the real fun is in smaller venues where you can actually see the people ”

Kaukonen s passion for music is as strong as Its ever been, he says, but his fan base has

changed a bit since the old days‘Its quite heterogeneous now, he said

“There are folks who got to know me in the 60s and 70s, but these days more younger ones are showing up ”

Fans can expect to hear old classics as well as music from new album Blue Country Heart, which has been described as “bluegrass esque ”
