THE BEST TREATMENT FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHRlflSlWhat is the best treatment for rheumatoid arthr tis? The answer to R

that question s unclear a number of new drugs are available to m docto s w th nsuff c ent t me hav ng passed to eva uate the r merits

At the moment your docto has the choce of u sn g methotrexate enb el remcade azulf d ne p aquen! eye Ospo n k neret pen c amine mmuran a ava and m nocyc me The quest on of cho ce of d ug becomes more compl cated because of comb nations of these drugs s the prefered way to proceed Often methotrexate is combned with enbrel methotrexate with remicade is the recommended way to start remicade therapy In Europe the combmat on of methotrexate azulfidme and plaqueml is very popular Combining methotrexate wth enbrel and kmeret is considered quite acceptable Doctors have used almost every drug comb nation possibe on one or more patients

The d fficulty of f riding the best cho ces arises because none of the combinations of med cat ons used has been available for the length of time needed to make a judgement Clinical trials that wilt give evidence of drug efficacy take years to complete and require large number of patients matched for age and severity of arthritis Such studies while underway have a long time to go for their completion and do not include every drug combination that might prove effective

For now you and your physician must make judgements based on what drugs look like they will work and how able you and your insurance can bear Hie cost

Tea forms are powder loose leaf tea bag and instant Regardless of what form tea should be stored in a sealed package to keep air and moisture out A vacuum-sealed package or a tea caddy made of tin or ceramic is best Keep away from strong spices to prevent flavor contamination Black tea lasts about two years green teas only six months Brewing the perfect pot of tea involves a few simple steps

■ Fill a ke:tie with cold water (not warm) and bring to a bod

Cold water has more oxygen and helps produce a better brew

■ While kettle is beginning to boil warm a teapot with hot water Discard the hot water thats in the teapot when the teapot feels warm to the touch

■ Add tea to the teapot ff using loose tea or tea bags add according to the number of cups being served, plus one more for the pot

■ Add water from the kettle tothe teapot and let the tea steep (soak) for three to five minutes or

according to preferred taste Do not use color to determine readiness as tea may be processed to infuse faster

S T E E P IN G T IM E S :

■ Green - one to three minutes■ Black - up to five minutes (except Darjeeling which should be steeped for three to four minutes)■ Oolong - five to seven minutes■ For strong tea brew more instead of brewing longer Extra brewing time can make tea bitter Instead use twice the quantity of tea as usual and brew for the maximum amount of timeSource www vanwardbccc com

CORRESPONDENT '| |0VG QOIIK) pliySICdlAt first, Anna Fans - the

female lead m T h e H o t C h ic k who grew up d o i n g h e a t e r -

" didn’t want tobe an actress

“I wasn’t sure that I wanted to devote my education - my life - to a career that was so unstable I wanted some

thing I could be a little more secure with My parents, on the other hand, were like, You should major m acting’ That was great on their part, they were very supportive,” said Fans, 26, who ended up graduating with an undergraduate degree in English from the University of Washington m Seattle

Fans, along with comedian Rob Schneider and director Tom Brady, last month was at the Ritz-Carlton m Dearborn, promoting T h e H o t C h ic k The movie is about Jessica Spencer (Rachel McAdams, P e r fe c t P ie) who ends up switching bodies with Clive Maxtone(Schneider, D e u c e B ig a lo w M a le G igo lo ) Fans plays Apnl, Jessica’s best friend, who helps her in her quest to get her original body back

‘ I love doing physical comedy I love doing stunts I love abuse, y’know?’ she said with a laugh ‘ I love fighting, too I love any sort of action sequence ”

Fans first met Schneider at the MTV Movie Awards m 2000 shortly after her break through role in that year’s S c a ry M o v ie It was there Schneider expressed an inter esting m working with her Nearly two years later Fans auditioned for the role ofApril

“I liked the scenes I had alone with (Schneider) and getting to know him as a woman,” Fans said, laughing

“It was great working with h im ”

Fans also said she enjoyed playing Apnl

“It was really fun playing the cheerleader and being popular It was like the high school I never had,” she said

Best known for her role as Cindy Campbell m S ca ry M o v ie , which was a sleeper hit and Dimension’s highest grossing film of all time, Fans confessed the instantaneous fame the movie brought on was intimidating

“Nobody expected it to make (more than) $300 million worldwide That was fantastic But I was also scared out of my mind I had never done anything like this before, I was so out of my element I mean, I did training videos ”

According to Fans, any plans for a third S ca ry M o v ie installment are currently up m the air, despite the Internet rumors However, Fans is keeping busy, her upcoming projects include L o s t m T ra n s la tio n with another SNL alumnus, Bill Murray,(G h o stb u s te rs ) and the independent film, M ay, where she plays a lesbian named Polly

“I tend to get cast m comedic roles Even when I get cast m dramas (such as M ay), I still get cast in a funny role There s not much more of a rewarding feeling than making people laugh ”

The Hot Chick u lt im a t e ly r u n s c o ldBY KURT ANTHONY KRUG

CORRESPONDENT

T h e H o t C h ick is one of those low-brow comedies, chock full of gross-out gags and toilet humor, where you have to check your brain at the door or be m a goofy mood in order to enjoy it

The movie is wntten by firsttime director Tom Brady and S a tu rd a y N ig h t L iv e alumnus Rob Schneider, the same guys who co-wrote 2001’s T h e A n im a l and conceived 1999’s D eu ce B ig a lo w M a le G igo lo While T h e A n im a l w a s an outright flop and D e u c e B ig a lo w was funny m a crude sort of way (and made enough money to warrant a sequel - currently in the planning stages), T h e H o t C h ic k fa lls somewhere m between, leaning more toward T h e A n im a l

The story opens in 50 B C m a very Afummy-esque setting where a servant girl and a princess switch bodies via magical earnngs

Flash forward to present-day California where Jessica Spencer (Rachel McAdams),

C om e dian R o b Sch n e id er says he learned a lo t a bo u t w o m e n by p o rtra yin g o n e , m his n e w c o m e d y, The Hot Chick

the most popular and prettiest girl m her high school - and she knows it - leads her clique of bubble-brained cheerleader friends with an iron fist, grinding those whom she finds beneath her under her heel

While on a shopping spree with her friends, Jessica comes across the magical earrings from the prologue Determined to have the earnngs even when she’s told they’re not for sale,

she switches them with another pair while the proprietor’s back is turned On her way home, she stops at a gas station where she encounters Clive Maxtone (Schneider), an unkempt, unshaven petty thief who just robbed the gas station, unbeknownst to them

Jessica manages to lose one of her magical earnngs, which ends up m Clive’s possession That night, she puts a magical

eamng on just when he does, and the next morning Jessica wakes up only to find herself in 30-somethmg Clive’s body and vice versa Horrified at what she’s become, she manages to convince her best fnend April (Anna Fans) it’s really her

Now Jessica has to adapt to her new body, wm back Billy (the man of her dreams, played by Matthew Lawrence), find a way to prevent her parents from splitting up, and wm the cheerleading competition in a scene very similar to the 2000 sleeper hit, B n n g I t O n — all as a guy Then she has to find a way to get her original body back from Clive, who’s using it to his advantage, earning more money than he could ever imagine as a stripper in some nudie bar

Jessica enlists the help of an overweight girl and a Goth chick to find out how it happened She then realizes how mean she is to others This epiphany is touched on only briefly, as is Jessica’s choice to remain a virgin, because the

Rob Schneider, who was promoting his latest movie, T h e H o t C hick, at the Ritz-Carlton in Dearborn last month, says didn’t want to have a 9-5 job

The real reason I decided on show business was to avoid a dayjob, says Schneider, dressed in a red 19 70 s shirt with a butterfly collar you could cut your hand on That, along with his unruly shock of curly black hair, is his trademark The actor/comedian 39 who hardly clears 5 foot 4 is best known for his work on te le \ l s i o n s

T h e H o t C h ick which opened Dec 13 is about petty thief Clive Maxtone (Schneider) who

switches bodies with beautiful high school cheerleader Jessica Spencer (Rachel McAdams) Now Jessica, alongside her best friend Apnl (Anna Fans), must find a way to get her ongmal body back

‘It’s a chick flick desenbed as a guy’s movie,” he says simply

Schneider co-wrote T h e H o t C h ick with first-time director Tom Brady, his frequent collaborator (they co-wrote 2001’s T h e A n im a l and are working on a D eu ce B ig a lo w sequel tentatively called D eu ce D os) The two met in 1996 on the set of the short-lived senes M e n B e h a v in g B a d ly where Schneider says everyone was

movie T h e A n im a l had some really funny things in it, but, ultimately, I feel it really didn’t work completely,’ Schneider said "This film really works as a film It’s really funny and has good characters If you take all the jokes out, you still have a story ’

Use light as a dramatic photo subjectD id you know there’s a pho

tographic subject of great potential that is often

ignored, frequently taken for granted and yet is used without exception m every photograph we take9

What I’m referring to is plain, old-fashioned, all- important light Isn’t it time we gave it more respect9

Obviously, light is used to

illuminate all our photographic subjects, but now let’s turn the tables and use light as the subject itself If you do, you can produce dramatic and exciting pictures

To begin with, those beautiful sunset/ sunrise photographs we all shoot showing the sun as a brilliant fireball surrounded by a rainbow of clouds are, in reality, photographs of light as the subject

We’ve all been shooting sunsets for years but didn’t realize we’re photographing light itself

In a backlit subject showing a striking silhouette, the lighting is the direct cause of the silhouette and is, therefore,

Focus on Photography

MonteTh e sun its e lf b ec om e s th e su b je c t in M o n te N a g le r's pho to grap h ta k e n m S o u th H a v e n He w a s ca re fu l t o a void lo o k in g d ire c tly a t th e sun

indirectly the subject What about lens flare, the usually unacceptable reflections of sunlight bouncing off the glass elements m the lens9 Of course, in most of your shots, you want to eliminate lens flare by preventing the sun from entering your camera’s lens

But how about deliberately allowing some lens flare in order to add an unusual and exciting effect to your picture9 In doing so, the flare, or light itself, becomes your subject

Here’s an idea to help make “light” of your subject With slow-speed film and a strong foreground subject such as an old gnarled tree, shoot pictures with the sun directly in the viewfinder

But instead of heeding the

meter, use the camera’s smallest aperture and fastest shutter speed In other words, underexpose your shot And, for safety’s sake, don t look at the sun through the viewfinder look alongside the sun

This “underexposing” procedure will produce sensational photographs showing the sun as a star, the foreground subject as a dramatic silhouette, and depending on the lens used and the time of day, some exciting lens flare

What have you really done here9 You’re starting to ‘see the light’ and making it your subject'

specting women at the same time “If the audience didn’t (believe) that I was a girl m the scene (where his and McAdams’ characters first switch bodies and he convinces Fans he’s really a girl), there would be no movie If I was just acting like a flaming fruit throughout the movie, then the movie’s not gonna work. You had to find a balance

“I hung out with all the girls on the set and, hondstly, it was the most fun I ever had making a movie They were very helpful to me Anna would say, ‘Rob, a woman doesn’t do it that way If I was holding a beer bottle, I’d

be peeling the label ’ I would learn from them ”

Schneider says he learned a lot about women dunng this project I really respect how a woman is emotionally faceted,” he said “A woman could cry and laugh in five seconds, and it’s believable But if a guy does that it’s disturbing I really respect the intimacy that women can get to in their conversations that most men, in their conversations, don’t get to They can let their guard down That’s a wonderful human quality more men should have”

W R IT IN G C O M E D Y

Like Fans, Schneider said getting people to laugh is the

best part of his work ‘Any good comedy has to

have drama, and any good drama has to have comedy, otherwise it’s a bore,” he said “Any movie s got to have that People don’t ask Andre Agassi, ‘You’re really good at this tennis thing, have you thought about bowling9 I happen to like the challenge of making a comedy, and it is a challenge

‘It’s an arrogant thing to say, We re gonna make you laugh ’ But through the craft and through the joy of it, we laugh really hard when writing (comedy), especially when we really hit on something, then we’re filming it and we know we got something good We try to hit that mark and raise the bar every time ”

movie has to get back to its raunchy jokes

Granted, there are some funny scenes, but they’re few and far between And many gags are rehashed all too much

The anatomy jokes are overdone again and again You want to scream, Yes, we know she has to adjust to being a man1 We get it' We get it' It was funny the first time'

Some dungs are just in poor taste, like the scene where Jessica as Clive calls Billy and

tearfully declares they should’ve made love when they had the chance A confused Billy responds, “Father Mulchay?”

Schneider’s buddy and fellow SNL castmate Adam Sandler makes a cameo appearance in the movie

But unlike early SNL alumni Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray,Jane Curtin, and Eddie Murphy, this more recent crop of SNL grads can’t carry a Pull- length movie with their sketch character schtick. At least Aykroyd, Murray, Curtin and Murphy branched out m their work SPhneider and Brady need to do that, too They need

to quit making toilet humor the basis of their movies and make it enhance their movies Maybe they’ll do that with the D e u c e B ig a lo w sequel, tentatively titled D e u c e D o s After all, Schneider is pretty funny, something he’s demonstrated on SNL countless times And Brady, who s written for T h e S im p s o n s and S p o r ts N ig h t, is no slouch himself

For the teenage crowd, fans of raunchy humor, and diehard SNL fans only

Rated PG-13 Endless sexual innuendo, brief nudity, profanity, flatulence jokes, gross-out gags, raunchy bathroom humor Rating 3 out of 10

S o u th e rn A rizo n a o ffe rs e ve ry th in g fro m caverns to cactiBY KEN ABRAMCZYK

STAFF WRITER

Travelers to Arizona often visit the popular destinations of the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Scottsdale, Phoenix or Tucson to take in the warmth of the region They enjoy the landscape and scenery from the red rocks of Oak River Valley to the saguaro cacti that almost resemble a welcoming committee waving to you along the highway

For the traveler who wants to hit the dusty trails of the old West, perhaps the slogan should be “go south ” Southern Arizona offers history, geology and nature

My wife, Cheryl, and I visited Arizona in May, just after the winter crowds The temperatures hovered in the high 90s and low 100s, right about the time we had several days of cold rams in Detroit The hotel rates are a little cheaper in May than during the winter months, so visitors looking to save money can catch a little break there

About one hour from Scottsdale and 45 minutes from Mesa, the Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior features a dazzling botanical gaiden Col Boyce Thompson founded the arboretum so visitors could develop an appreciation for plant life m the desert and arid regions of the world Its 323 acres features over 3,000 water-efficient species

The cactus garden features saguaros, a trademark of the Sonoran Desert, the flat prickly pear (which, by the way, makes a tremendous marguenta), the barrel cactus, the hedgehog and the snowman cactus, which sports a white coat

The Arboretum is expectedly and and includes a rocky landscape Visitors walk among

majestic canyon walls along a jagged and craggy walkway, then a quick turn, and the scenery and terrain completely changes The npanan area of Queen Creek contains cottonwood, olive and eucalyptus trees to provide shade and cover, a stnking contrast to the surrounding desert scrublands

It’s probably a gpod idea to wear hiking boots and be sure to bring bottled water Give yourself a couple of hours

Take a dnve to Sierra Vista, which is a good central location if you want to stay m southeastern Arizona for a couple of days Rooms were reasonable - about $80 - at a Best Western hotel there. From that location, you can dnve east to Tombstone or Bisbee, an old mining town, or north to Kartchner Caverns, just south of Benson

Yes, everybody’s heard of Tombstone, and Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday and the Shootout at the OK Corral The “town too tough to die” keeps much of the feel of 1882

I’m not a big gun nut, but this town features the G F Spangenburg shop, a gun shop with a fascinating collection of guns and pistols owned by many of the lawmen of Tombstone, including Earp, Holliday and others Of course, Western gear from cowboy hats to leather boots and saddlery are available, as are colorful Mexican made clothing Performers re-enact the famous shootout at the actual OK Corral, while Boot Hill Cemetery reminds visitors of the towns violent past and rugged life that existed in the late 1800s Stagecoach tours also inform visitors about the towns history

If you’re not into the Old West and cowboy persona, southern Arizona is a bird

The Boyce T hom pso n A rb o re tu m fe a tu re s 323 acres a n d o v e r 3 ,0 0 0 w a te r-e ffic ie n t species o f plants

watcher’s mecca The Ramsey Canyon Preserve, just south of Sierra Vista m the Upper San Pedro River basin, gives visitors a break from the rugged terrain of the desert

Anyone who enjoys hummingbirds - there are 14 different varieties that can be viewed here at different times of year - will enjoy the Preserve

History and mining buffs will enjoy Bisbee We visited the Bisbee Mining and Historical

Museum and learned about the struggles between the workers of Phelps Dodge Corp, and management there, and the brutal, dangerous work in the mines, which is explained m great detail through photos and text displayed throughout the museum The mining industry helped turn Bisbee, at one time, into the largest city between St Louis and San Francisco The town is becoming geared toward tourists with a variety of shops selling everything from contemporary art and pottery to minerals and jewelry

Then there’s Kartchner Caverns, located about six miles south of Benson, which is about 45 minutes southeast of Tucson

Kartchner is awesome, featuring geological formations with names that could be con fused with a greasv spoon diner We admired the stalac tites stalagmites, halactites, columns, shields, soda straws and bacon and eggs (Thats really what they look like, too )

For the past 200,000 years these formations were created and formed after an underground pool of water receded Acidic rainwater flowed through fissures m the earth and through the ceiling of the cave When the rainwater reached the air-filled cave, it

Two rooms in the cavern are 100 yards long, and another room features Kubla Khan, a 58-foot tall column The colors m these marvelous formations - ranging from red created from the iron and minerals to brown from decaying plant and animals - create a fascinating picture of underground life

Only a few hundred visitors are permitted in the caverns each day They must enter the caverns through a progression of sealed rooms to ensure the humidity remains at 99 percent inside the caverns No cameras are allowed Special lights are used inside the cave to ensure even the algae there remains undisturbed Kartchner visitors need to purchase tickets in advance We arrived at 11 a m bought tickets for a 4 p m tour, then drove to Sonoita, Arizona’s wine country That area of Arizona has a climate similar to southern Italy, so grapes can grow there

Livonia Franklin opened Weston Division play m the Western Lakes Activities Association hockey season with a 4-3 victory against host Canton at the Arctic Edge

The win boosted Franklin’s record to 3- 2-2 overall, 1-0 m the division Canton, which lost its fifth straight, is 3-5 overall, 0-2 in the division

Franklin led 4-1 after two periods before Canton mounted a comeback Kyle Tolhson’s second goal on assists from Greg Kubert and Brian Wioncek made at 4-2 with 9 34 left Dave Comminskey’s goal with 5 57 to go from Kubert and Kasey Skrzypek cut the

defiat to one, but the Chiefs couldn’t score the equalizer against Franklin net- mmder Jeremy Peer (23 saves)

Franklin led 1-0 after one period on Ross Robert’s goal from Corey Clearman

Bierley made it 2-0 for the Patriots from Dave McCall with 12 29 to go m the second period, but Tblhson answered for Canton with a power-play goal 2 44 later on assists from Kubert and Wioncek

Bierley then scored a short-handed goal from McCall and Peraino and added a power-play goal from McCall during the same period with 7 15 and 4 10 left, respectively

“We cam out and played a fairly decent

first and second period, but Canton came out like a ball of fire and we let down a bit,” Franklin coach Terry Jobbitt said “When we were playing sloppy in the third period he (Peer) really stepped up

“Canton played an excellent game and Kubert was great defensively (three assists) ”

W L Central 5, Canton t It s down right now and that s

bound to changeThat s the best way Canton can look at it after losing its*

fourth straight game Wednesday at Arttc Edge Arena to

Walled Lake Central

It s been an up and down season s o far said Canton coach Dan Abraham We were 3 D now we re 3 4 We went

up then down real quickThe frustration was evident in the loss to Central We

outskated them for three periods and we outshot them"

said Abraham We just couldn t outscore them We had

defensive breakdownsTpe Chiefs tied the game at 1 all early in the second peri

od when Matt Gabriel scored (assisted by David Commiskey

and Matt Oliver) But the Vikings answered with goals by

Sean McMahon and Adam Griffin to take a 31 lead into the

third periodGreg Kubert s goal at 816 of the third period allowed

Canton to narrow the deficit to 3 2 (from Casey Skrzypek

and Gabriel) but goals by Ryan Lukkan and Dale Wrobel

clinched it for CentralAlthough the losses are somewhat mystifying Abraham

Rocks beat Trojans at their game

Monroe wanted to push the ball Salem was only too happy to oblige

But it wasn’t a matter of being a gracious host The Rocks knew the Trojans were going to pressure, their success would depend on how they handled it

As it turned out, they did well Although Salem never could pull

away, it did stay m control most of Friday’s game, managing to hold off Monroe for a 67-60 victory

The outcome left both teams with 1-1 records

“We played a lot better defensively,” said Salem coach Bob Brodie “We blocked out better, and we handled Monroe’s pressure well

“You look at a game like that, against a team that likes to go up-tempo, and you hold them to 60 points — then you’re playing pretty good defense ”

There was a motivating factor involved m this In their opening 84-58 loss at Belleville Tuesday there wasn t Anything that pleased Brodie — espe cially the defense So he simply gave the Rocks an ultimatum

‘We said if they weren’t guarding their player, they would be playing,” Brodie explained

It seemed to work well enough Salem led 18-13 after one quarter, but Monroe trimmed that to 34-33 by halftime It was still a one-point game entering die fourth quarter, although the Rocks had led by as many as 10 in the third

But the Trojans put together a spurt m the fourth, going up ty three before Salem answered Behind die strong one-two punch of Brad Clark and Dave Hoskins, the Rocks outpointed Monroe 21-15 in the final eight minutes

Here^ a lesson all coaches want their players to memorize Don’t travel the same wrong road twice

In other words, don’t repeat mistakes Learn and move on That’s what Cantons basketball team concentrated on doing during a crowded first week of the season

In the Chiefs opener last Monday, they got creamed by Monroe, committing 42 turnover along the way On Wednesday they hosted Ann Arbor Pioneer losing their offense in the sec ond half of a 16-point loss

Still, Canton coach Jeremy Rheault by his teams overall improvement from Game One to Game Two We were winning, he said after his team built a 31-26 halftime lead against Pioneer “They had to come at us

“We stopped playing the way we had been And they made great adjustments (at halftime) ”

So what would Game Three — at Canton last Friday against a Southfield team that was among the state’s best last year — bring?

The answer More improvement, resulting m a 35-34 victory for the Chiefs

The win gave Canton a 1-2 record

Lose five kids who were all consistent scorers — or as Salem wrestling coach Greg Woochuk described them, “five pomt-getters* — and there’s just one word that can describe what lies ahead

UncertaintyGone from the Rocks’ lineup of

last season are Brandon Sammut (130 pounds), Tony Kennard (145), Adam Schafer (152), Craig Blair (160) and Zach Jensen (215) That leaves five rather large holes in the lineup which must be filled if the Rocks are to experience any success

And that is just what Woochuk is waiting for

The transition hasn’t been easy for first-year coach Casey Randolph The Chiefs are, for the most part, young and inexperienced There are only four seniors on the squad, and only three or four wrestlers who had much varsity experience last season

|But they’re learnings jfWe haw some decent kids,” said

Randolph after Canton lost both ends of its double-dual meet at Dearborn

It wasn’t a real tough decision, actually

While six of the 14 area teams made the playoffs and several others showed solid improvement, when it came time for

our staff to choose an Observerland football coach of the year, the decision was immediate and unanimous Catholic Central’s Tom

Tom Mach MachC oa ch - He would beRadford CC the first to tell

you that hisstatistics don’t matter Actually, they do matter - to just about everyone who’s played for him

Machs career credentials rank him among the state’s best A 244-50 record since 1979, eight state titles - tying him for second m state history - and a finalist for the National Football League’s High School coach o f the year m 1998

But since Mach was last chosen as our coach of the year in 1995, CC has won four Division 1 titles - including the last two

With a 3-3 mark at one point last year and facing the prospect of missing the playoffs, the Shamrocks - the 39th- ranked team in the nation according to Student Sports Fab 50 - have been nearly unstoppable, winning 22 of their last 23 games

While Mach is joined on the All Area first team by six of his players, several of the ai ea s best schools are also well represented, with Canton placing five players on the squad, while Livonia Stevenson and Westland John Glenn have four players each

As the only senior back from last year’s first team, Clarenceville’s Andrew Shaw is the only repeat pick this year More could be m store next year as six underclassmen grace our first team

Here’s the 2002 All-Observer football team

Perhaps the m ost im pressive statis tic regarding Jo y n e r was his num ber o f carries - he did all th a t on a bo u t 120 carries averaging eight yards per He also missed one gam e (against Wayne Memorial) - which means he did near ly all his dam age while playing about half a game

men cruise to easy winPerhaps this was the break

out Madonna University s men’s basketball team needed

The Fighting Crusaders connected on 24-of-38 first- half floor shots (6 3 2 percent) against Andrews University Friday m its opening game of the Bethel College Tournament m Mishawaka, Ind That gave them a 57-36 halftime lead, and from there they coasted past Andrews, 100-72

The victory gave Madonna a 5-4 record The Crusaders opened their season at 4-0, then lost four straight

There was little doubt about this game Dan Kurtmaitis, a senior guard who was held scoreless m a loss to Albion College Wednesday, came through with 21 points and four assists m this game, connecting on 9-of-l5 floor shots (60 percent) Aaron Cox added 17 points, Chris Behms got 13 points and nine rebounds, and John Bennett (from Livonia Churchill) had 11 points

Chad Nadolm and Noel Emenhiser each scored eight, with Nadolm collecting 11 rebounds, four assists and four steals and Emenhiser finishing with eight rebounds and three assists Joe Kofahl scored nine points

Andrews got 22 points from Sheldon James and 15 from Alex Rosario

Albion 85, M adonna 76* Sowhat happened’ Two-and-a- half minutes into the second half of Madonnas game

against visiting Albion College Wednesday, it was a one-point game, Albion leading 44-43

In just over 10 minutes, the Britons outscored the Fighting Crusaders by 22 points Which meant the game was essentially over, Madonna suffered its fourth- straight loss after opening the season with four-consecutive wins

Pat Moultrie, who played just over half the game, sparked Albion’s surge with a near-perfect offensive performance Moultne hit 10-of- 11 floor shots in the game and 2-of-3 free throws for a game- high 22 points

He had 14 of those in a seven-minute stretch, the mam ingredient m the Brits’ 34-12 run that took it from 44-43 to 78-55 with 7 20 left Madonna never got closer than eight points after that

The Crusaders played well in the first half, trailing 40-38 at the intermission after converting 15-of-28 shots (53 6 percent) from the floor Albion was 14-of-30 (46 7 percent) m the first half But while the Britons shooting improved in the second half (l6*of-29,55 2 percent), Madonna’s fell off (ll-of-28,39 3 percent) Madonna was also badly outrebounded m the game, 39-22

Chad Nadolm paced Madonna with 20 points, six rebounds, five steals and three assists, all team highs Noel Emenhiser added 17 points and Joe Kofhal had 16

Joining Moultne m double figures m sconng for Albion were Michael Thomas with 14 points and Brett Quayle and Chns Hawkins with 11 apiece Travis DePree had eight points and 11 rebounds

Wayne State 102, M adonna 73 (women): The Madonna women’s team kept it close at Wayne State Thursday — at least for a half But an abundance of turnovers and a poor performance at the free-throw line doomed the Lady Crusaders, whose record fell to 2-10

Wayne State is 4-4 Point guard Ebony Vincent

ignited WSU, tying the school record with 14 assists She also had 14 points and three steals

Madonna trailed 40-38 at the half, but the Crusaders committed 30 turnovers in the game (WSU had 14) and converted just 3-of-12 free throws (25 percent) while the Warriors made 21-of-25 (84 percent)

Still, Lindsay Simmon had a strong game for the Crusaders with 24 points (ll-of-18 floor shooting), 12 rebounds and three assists

Sarah Thompson had 15 points, seven boards and three assists, and Jackie Pingston chipped in with 12 points and three steals

WSU, which outscored Madonna 62-35 in the second half, got 25 points from Jodi Young, 21 pomts, 13 rebounds and four steals from Keneisha Moss, and 15 pomts and nine boards from Jessica King

Go-kart racer Aaron Hurst s goal some day is to become a Winston Cup driver and race m the Daytona 500

The eighth grader from Stevenson Middle School m Westland rtcenth completed his World Kartmg Association campaign which started last December m Ocala, Fla and included stops in Charlotte,N C , Dousman, W is, South Bend, Ind and Batavia, N Y

Hurst, 13, finished 14th in the Yamaha class and 15th m the Horstman PV class

In the Great Lakes Sprint Series, which ended this fall at the Jackson Speedway, Hurst was runner-up m the Yamaha class and third in the HVP standings

Hurst, who got up to speeds of 62 MPH in his Top Kart, will return to the circuit again this month when the WKA Series kicks off again at Daytona (Fla) International Speedway

“Our season was supposed to be one of learning, but what I learned as a father was my son is a better driver than I

P le a se recycle th is paper

am a chassis or engine tuner,” Kevin Hurst said ‘The kid can flat out drive We still have a long ways to go, but the light is shining at the end of the tunnel

During a WKA event last July in South Bend Aaron Hurst found himself fighting unong 40 dm c i s for 2 f qual if} mg spots m both the Yamaha and HPV classes

I was worried we wouldn t make it said Kevin Hurst, who is employed at Daimler Chrysler Two weeks prior, we raced there and didn’t run as fast as the other kids running in practices I told Aaron,Son, we might be going home 'f we don t make the field ’

‘He put his helmet on and lifted his visor, and said, ‘Dad, the only kids going home are the ones behind me ”

Aaron Hurst came through, qualifying third and starting second for the final race

before being taking out by the leader with six laps to go

Oui team has come a long way from that dusty cool week in Ocala Kevin Hurst said A lot of fine fi lends have helped us out with sponsorship and more is needed to help this kid seek his need to become a Winston L up d im r and win the Daytona 500 o c day

The Hurst crew chief this season was Tom Sampeer of Westland

Among the Hurst sponsors this season included Stoney Creek Motorsports, Westland Beehive, Captain Nemo’s of Inkster and Feister s RV Center of Westland

Those interested m getting into karting, should call Bill Wolters of Stoney Creek Motorsports at (734) 697- 6971

seems certain it won t last longAt no point have we stopped playing hockey he said With 10 new

players on the roster we had to take some time getting our game down They re starting to feel comfortable they re getting it together They re just not finishing right now

I feel like we ve got a lot to show a lot to prove Abraham added Our goaltenders need to keep pace with the rest of

the team if we re going to improve

CC 6, New Trier (III) t It didnt take Catholic Central long to get backinto the win column

A trio of goals in the first and third periods allowed the Shamrocks to end the two game skid and beat New Trier (III) at Western Michigan University s Lawson Arena

It was a lot of fun to play at a college rink said CC co coach Todd Johnson I thought our guys played pretty hard It was the first game all year we had a full lineup and everyone was healthy

I thought we wore them down into the third period and they just ran out of steam

The Shamrocks (3 2) took a 2 0 lead on goals by Bryan Genrich (assisted by Andrew Eggert and Pat Coldren) and Billy Makela (from Nathan Perkovich and Jason Lewarne) before New Trier cut the lead to 21 Lewarne made It 3 1 late m the period from Harrison Niemann and Travis Hamway

After a scoreless second period and New Trier cut the lead to 3 2 early m the third CC shut the door Dave McGrorty (Eric Reinhardt and Makela) Reinhardt (Eric Giosa and Brandon Naurato) and Giosa (Naurato and Jim Blanchard) all scored

The Shamrocks outshot New Trier 3417

ROCKS SALEMFROM PAGE C1 FROM PAGE C1

Clark finished with 22 points Hoskins scored 20 and Dommque Washington netted 10

“Clark had a real nice game for us,” said Brodie “He took care of the ball real well8

Kevin Savitskie, his defense a constant deterrent to the 'IVojans, supplied Salem’s offensive coup de grace m the fourth quarter, scoring all seven of his points in the period

Mike Comstock was best for Monroe with 17 points Nick Notano and Grant Nelson each added 13

Whitmore Lake 69 Agape 60 A fourth quarter rally couidn t save Canton Agape Christian Friday at Whitmore Lake

The Wolverines fell to 1 1 Whitmore Lake is 2 0 The Trojans took an 1815 lead after one quarter and bumped

it up to 40 27 by halftime They kept on building on it in the third quarter increasing their advantage to 58 39 Agape s 2111 fourth quarter surge narrowed the deficit but didn t eliminate it

We didnt do a good job offensively or defensively (in the second quarter) said Agape coach Chuck Henry We had trou ble with their inside game

Alec Tarnowski led the Wolverines with 19 points Jordan Napier had 13 and Charlie Henry and Matt Ratcliff scored 11 apiece

Jared Moore a 6 foot 6 center led Whitmore Lake with 22 points Drew Coker had 13 and Mike Hainen scored 12

ent Leading the returnees is senior Mike Goethe, who finished fourth m the state last season m title 125-pound division Goethe will wrestle at 130 or 135 this year

Other returning seniors include Allen Mlynek, who will be where Goethe isn’t, at 130 or 135, Pete Bobee, who figures to be at 119 or 125, Randy Bearden at 140, Joey Thompson at 145, Kirk Tooley at 152, Randy Epley at 160, and Chris Hansen at 171 Epley, Hansen, Thompson and Tboley wrestled mainly junior varsity last season

Also returning to the lineup is senior Tony Stott, now at 145, who suffered a tom antenor cruciate knee ligament m the first meet of the season a year ago “He was as good as Goethe,” said Woochuk. "He’s a real team leader”

Others who wall be counted

on are junior Mike Dendnnos, who moves from 112 to 119 this season, sophomore Ryan Stump, who’s shown a great deal of promise at 103 thus far (“He should do very well,” Woochuk predicted), sophomore Matt Keffler at 112 ("He should do well by the end of the season ” Woochuk added), junior Jordan Schaefer at 189, junior heavyweight Jeremy Walker, also a returnee, junior Brian Dobson at 215, and freshman Jeremy Henderson at 215

A couple of juniors who have looked good at the 125-135 divisions are Dave Burr and Zack Vaughn Unfortunately for the both of them, that may be Salem’s greatest area of strength

Will Schultz, a junior who replaced Stott m the lineup at 140 a year ago when he was injured, will also be a plus — when he returns from the broken hand he suffered playing football for Salem He’s expected back by mid-season “That

By then, Woochuk should have a handle on just how good his team can be “I m making no predictions (for Salem),” he answered when asked about tile Western Lakes Activities Association

"Livonia Churchill and (Westland) John Glenn look strong And (defending champ) Walled Lake Central, on paper, has a good returning team

‘I ’d say John Glenn has to be the frontrunner, and for the Observerland (Ibumament), too ”

Where will the Rocks, who were fourth in a tight WLAA Tournament — 12 5 points separated the top four teams — figure in all this? “I truly won’t have any idea until the end of December,” Woochuk said “But there’s definite talent there ”

Yes, there is Now it’s just a matter of transforming them into title contenders

CHIEFSFROM PAGE Cl

Southfield is 1-1The game was just what the

score would indicate defensive The Chiefs didn’t lead until the fourth quarter A three-point play by Brad Waidmann tied the game at 30-all with 6 15 left and, after DaJuan Warren hit two free throws for the Blue Jays, Matt Paye gave Canton the lead with a three-pomter with 5 19 to play

Southfield’s best chance to reassume control came during the next two minutes In that span, the Jays twice committed turnovers, only to get the ball back immediately by forcing Canton to turn it over

But they couldn’t score, missing three shots The Chiefs regained possession and, after a timeout, a pass from Steve Thornton that seemed intended for Waidmann instead bounced behind him to D J Bridges for a layup, giving them a 3 5 -3 2 lead with 2 10 left

Josh Bryant got a basket for Southfield to narrow the gap to one with 118 left, but despite the Chiefs help at the free throw line — twice they missed the

front end of a 1-and-l in the last minute — the Jays could not get another basket, missing two shots m the last 12 seconds

Canton’s defense deserves credit for much of that “We played really good defense,” said Rheault “Absolutely We anticipated well and we played proper position ”

What the Chiefs did do, and Southfield didn’t do, was get stronger as the game went on In the first half, Canton had just 12 points (on 5-of-19 floor shooting, O-for-4 at the line) to 18 for the Jays (8-of-17 from the floor, 2- for-2 at the stripe)

In the second half, Southfield hit 5-of-8 from the field m the third quarter to Canton’s 5-of-10, but m the fourth the Jays made just l-of-11 to 3-of-8 for the Chiefs Turnovers were also a problem for the Jays, they had 23 to Canton’s 16

Indeed, it seemed Southfield was determined to work the ball to Warren on offense With good reason He led all scorers with 21 points Next best for the Jays was Bryant with six

“Points did not come easy m the paint tonight,’ Southfield coach Bruce Lenmgton said

If anything altered the games offensive landscape, it was the

Chiefs’ three-point shooting Andy CorteUmi led Canton with nine points, nailing three triples. Paye had two more, scoring six in the contest Bndges finished with seven

“I thought our perimeter game needed to improve,” Rheault said

On this night, it saved the Chiefs Southfield had defended well with a zone in the first half, but after the threes started falling, Lenmgton was forced to switch to a man-to-man

The move couldn’t save the Jays

A A Pioneer 58 Canton 42 What Canton had in the first 16 minutes of Wednesdays game against visiting Ann Arbor Pioneer disappeared in the last 16

The Chiefs led 3126 at the half but managed just tl second half points That wasnt nearly enough to handle Pioneer which put 32 on the board in the final two quarters

They took away some of our strengths said Canton coach Jeremy Rheault We got into a lull where we stopped moving as players We had the opportunities we just didnt complete them

Despite the outcome and seemingly lopsided score Rheault was encouraged by his teams play The score doesnt Indicate how the game went he said We improved sc much from Mondays game This was leaps and bounds

Whitney Davis led Pioneer with 24 points Phi! Batkins added 11 and Kenneth Pankey scored 10

Canton got 10 points from D J Bridges nine from Steve Thornton and seven from Brad Waidmann

Edsel Ford Thursday, 48-24 to tiie Ttactors and 54-23 to Southgate Anderson

“We’re making up ground, we’re getting a lot better I am excited about building the program from the ground up We’ll be much better by the end of the season ”

The losses left Canton with a 2-7 dual-meet record That in itself is hard for Randolph to take, a Hudson HS graduate (1993) who wrestled at Eastern Michigan University, Randolph returned to Hudson after earning his Bachelor’s degree at EMU and coached both football and wrestling for five years He was a co-head coach m wrestling his last few years, the Tigers posting a 34-2 record his final season there

As a senior at Hudson, Randolph played football for current Canton coach Tim Baechler, later returning to coach with him Randolph is presently Baechler’s lineback- ers/defensive line coach

The difference between the

wrestling programs at Hudson Mid Canton is easily discerned a middle school program, which Hudson has and the Plymouth-Canton district lacks

That means just about everyone who comes out for the team has to be taught how to wrestle “Half of our lineup is first-year kids,” noted Randolph

There are bright spots Ryan Webb, a sophomore transfer from Belleville HS, has looted sharp in the135-140 weight classes Dan Bergsma, a senior competing at 130, has been Canton’s most consistent wrestler Steve Hosey, a junior m the 140-145 classes, has limited varsity experience but looks promising

Then there’s Ryan Schnettler, a semor, and Steve Hogg, a junior Both are moving up two divisions, Schnettler from 112 (where he was a regional qualifier last season) to 125 and Hogg from 103 to 112 Such an a d ju s tm e n t is never ea sy and may take time

Much of the lineup is still uncertain, and Randolph doesn’t think that will change for a while ‘It will be probably until after

Christmas,” he said In the meantime, Randolph

and his coaches — Donnie lye, Jeraco Speelman and Gary Hefim — will continue to tutor the 38 members of the team

“They don’t qmte understand how to wrestle at the next level yet,” Randolph said “They’re just starting to learn how to wrestle aggressively and to look to score points

“But they’re still in transition, they’re still learning ”

At the Edsel Ford meet Thursday, Schnettler collected two pm wins at 130, Bergsman got a pair of decisions by 8-1 and 4-1 scores at 135, and Webb picked up two victories at 140, by a 5-4 decision and a technical fall

Rebuilding a program takes patience and commitment, by both coaches and wrestlers And that requires a large dose of optimism, something Randolph believes his team has

‘Our attitudes are very good, he noted

Hopefully, they’ll stay that way until seasons end, by which time the positive attitudes will convert into victories

Dr Lylas MogkVisual Rehabilitation & Research Center o f Michigan

BY PAM FLEMING

CORRESPONDENT

Joseph Sacca, 85, of Warren, was diagnosed with macular degeneration, a disease of the retina, a couple of years ago

“I started noticing blurring m my central vision, he recalled

His doctor suggested that he go to the Visual Rehabilitation & Research Center of Michigan, a special facility that helps the visually impaired with day-to-day activities The facility is part of Eye Care Services at Henry Ford Hospital

Located at 15401E Jefferson in Grosse Pointe, the center was established in January 1997 and plans are under way to open another center early next year in Livonia at 1-96 and Middlebelt

“We expect to open it in February or March,’ said Dr Lylas Mogk, a general ophthalmologist who started the center

The center began as a satellite office of Grosse Pointe Ophthalmology and has a staff of occupational therapists also trained as low-vision therapists

“If we have a place m Livonia, it will be easier for patients m that area to come to the center, Mogk said Patients only come once to the center, which is equipped with a full occupational therapy room, then a therapist is sent to the home for two or three one-hour visits

'WONDERFUL TECHNOLOGY’

“We do some training at the center and then at home, Mogk said We have closed circuit TVs and reading machines that allow people with low vision to read because the letters are enlarged Some patients use their own

TV and turn it into a reading machine,” she explained It s wonderful technology that has revolutionized what people with visual impairments can do ”

Our big thing is training people how to use these machines, Mogk said ‘ We effectively teach people how to maximize the vision they have and use it most effectively, so that they can keep up their activities and their independence despite their loss of vision

We re able to help patients go to Plan B They’re not going to get their vision back, so they have to learn to deal with it Our patients are able to do some remarkable things with our help

The center also has orientation and mobility specialists who teach blind people how to adapt to daily activities

DIFFERENT PERCEPTION

Mogk said more people are suffering from macular degeneration, a disease that affects 13 million people, and they are learning new ways to cope with their vision loss

‘This generation has really changed the expectations of aging,’ she noted 1 There s a different perception of the role of vision as we age now We don t

think people should have to change the way they live I tsnotOKtonotbe able to do the things you enjoy

Mogk noted that this is really the first generation that has lived with pollution, and the theory is that this leads to macular degeneration

That s the leading theory on what causes it Smoking is a definite cause, as is second-hand smoke,” Mogk said

People who are fair-skmned are also more susceptible to acquiring macular degeneration

If you don t have much melanin in your skin, you probably don’t have much melanin under die retina, Mogk said Sunlight and smoke both increase free radicals in the body, which can cause macular degeneration

So, how can you combat the occurrence of this eye disease9 Eat green, leafy vegetables, which are high in antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, according to Mogk

“These include kale, mustard greens and collard greens, she said

She even has recipes using kale m her book, “Macular Degeneration The Complete Guide to Saving and Maximizing Your Sight,” published in 1999, with a second edition due out m January

The center s staff also gives every patient a resource packet that mentions transportation programs, sup port groups and programs like the Library of Congress Talking Books Program

MINOR ADAPTATIONS

“Our philosophy is to learn to do as much as you can with the vision you have to keep the quality of your life,” Mogk said

Occupational and low-vision therapist Anne Riddenng has worked at the center for six years and started the program with Mogk. She is also a certified orientation and mobility specialist

‘Most of the patients need minor adaptations in their life, and for showing them this, you become their heroes It’s the simple things around the house that they want to do - sign their name, prepare meals, adjust their thermostat, and read everything from mail to food boxes to prescription labels One lady asked me to label her hemorrhoid cream for her because she was afraid she was going to mix it up with her toothpaste,” Riddenng said

But it’s all worth it“I can say that I have truly found a

job that I love I can’t imagine doing anything else To see a patient be able to do something they couldn’t do before is so rewarding,” Riddenng said

Therapist Colleen O’Donnell has worked at the center for 2% years

‘I’m always learning something from our patients It’s a true partnership with them They’re excited to know that there’s something that can help them

Hormone replacement therapy: panacea or poison?BY DR JERRY NOSANCHUCK

CORRESPONDENT

Appropriate hormone replacement therapy, known as HRT, remains a viable and important health care option for postmenopausal women

The most significant effects of HRT are increased longevity and a better quality of life This remains true despite a media conflagration generated by the publication of the findings of two studies The Heart and Estrogen/Progestm

A ^ House

f CALLSReplacement Study Follow Up (HERS II) and The Womens Health Initiative Both studies were published in the J o u rn a l o f th e A m e r ic a n M e d ic a l A sso c ia tio n in July The articles seem to question the wisdom of hormone replacement

The media response was explosive While some of the coverage was accurate and representative, much of it pandered to fears of women and health providers alike Although there was no difference in all-cause mortality m either study between hormone-users and non users, many postmenopausal women felt the underlying message was that hormone replacement represented a health risk and discontinued their therapy This impression was reinforced as

scores of physicians informed their menopausal patients - based on the results of the studies, which many had not read - that it was time to discontinue hormone replacement therapy

LEGITIMACY

Are these legitimate responses that reflect the findings of the published studies? It doesn’t seem so

Five key points follow1 It was not clear to many

women that both studies did not

address hormone replacement in general, but was limited to users of Prempro, which is a sub-optimal hormone replacement preparation distributed by Wyeth-Ayerst Prempro is a combination of conjugated equine estrogen (CEE) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and is taken daily as continuous combined therapy It is indicated for use in women who have not had a hysterectomy and require protection of the

HRTFROM PAGE C6

uterine lining with a form of progesterone, m this case MPA.

2 Hormone replacement with Prempro appears to have a less favorable nsk/benefit profile than other replacement preparations, particularly those that are non-oral and those in which a progestin component is not used continuously

Studies completed following the commencement of the HERS II and WHI trials suggest that the specific combination in Prempro demonstrated both a less favorable effect on coronary arteries than other regimens and a small but significant excess of a relatively uncommon form of breast cancer, which has not been associated with use of other form? of hormone replacement

Had this information been available, it is unlikely that HERS II or WHI studies would have been initiated

3 The weight of previous research utilizing other regimens of hormone replacement has suggested a more positive outcome The commentary in the HERS II and WHI studies stated that it was ‘possible’ the unexpected negative findings were due to the combination in Prempro Surprisingly, the researchers included all forms of hormone replacement in their conclusions and recommendations Dr WulfH Utian, executive director and honorary founding president of The North American Menopause Society and a pioneer in menopause research, stated that the financial rela tionship existing between authors of both studies and Wyeth-Ayerst (the manufacturer of Prempro) raised issues of ethics and potential bias

4 Physicians are encouraging women to stop using HRT, without a legitimate rationale This is an irresponsible and potentially life-altering recommendation The director of the WHI study, Dr Jacque E Rossouw, of the National Institutes of Health, said it was his impression that few physicians had actually read the studies or had an m-depth

knowledge of the details or conclusions Rossouw went on to say that appropriate hormone replacement does not cause breast cancer or coronary artery disease and that he is “comfortable” with this type of hormone use “for as long as it is necessary”

5 The big losers are menopausal women who have been deterred from using hormone replacement as a valuable health care and quality-of- hfe-enhancing strategy

Dr TVudy L Bush, who was one of the nation’s preeminent researchers and teachers of issues related to women's health - particularly the effects of hormones and replacement therapy on the cardiovascular and reproductive systems - published a hallmark study in the Journal o f th e A m e r ic a n M e d ic a l A sso c ia tio n in February 1983 The study examined all-cause mortality in estrogen users compared with non-users During the 5 6 years of the study, the risk of death among non-users was twice as high as users of estrogen if they had no gynecological surgery It was three times higher if they had a hysterectomy and eight times higher if both ovaries had been removed Since that time, Bush and a number of other respected authors have published numerous articles confirming the association of estrogen use with lower all-cause mortality

Accordingly, it is reasonable to postulate that the difference in the HERS II and WHI studies was likely due to the specific hormone preparation Therefore, it is not possible to extrapolate any conclusions or recommendations to other forms and types of hormone replacement This was confirmed recently by both the North American Menopause Society Advisory Panel on Postmenopausal Hormone Therapy and the Executive Committee of the International Menopause Society

Sacca said he was very impressed with the program

“I only went there once, then Colleen started coming to my home She helped me very much,” Sacca said “She’s helped me be able to do a little reading, recommended tapes from the Macomb Public Library

and got me a special hand-held magnifying glass with a light on it I also have a special light and magnifying glass mounted on a table, like an easel,” he said

“They have a good system I couldn’t get along without Colleen, and I really appreciate everything they did for me It gave me a different perspective on my life She had a lot of patience with me and really worked wonders with me I’m sorry I didn’t go to them sooner”

Antacids may be more im portant than calcium to protect bone health

The calcium in calcium supplements may not be the primary ingredient responsible for prevention of osteoporosis, according to a study reported by Wayne State University School of Medicine researchers in the February issue of M e d ic in e Sr S c ien ce m S p o r ts & E xercise , the official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine Antacids - taken to neutralize excess digestive acid - may be an overlooked factor in protecting bone health

Wayne State researchers observed that most calcium supplements on the market are composed mainly of antacids - and the calcium benefit may be secondary to the antacid

“If you think about it, your bone is like a stick of chalk If you put it in acid, it’s going to dissolve If you neutralize the acid, the bone stays strong We began to think about the link between dietary acid intake and osteoporosis, or thinning of the bones,’ said Dr Warren Lockette, lead author on the study and professor of neurosurgery at the WSU School of Medicine

While it’s clear that calcium supplements make bones stronger, it isn’t clear why Furthermore, it isn’t clear whether calcium is the przmary preventative force against osteoporosis Based on this study, WSU doctors now believe acid metabolism is just as important as calcium consumption m maintaining strong bones

‘ We think there’s no question that calcium supplementation is beneficial in making bone strong W erejustnotso sure it s the calcium m the supplements that is really important We think it may

be the ability of those calcium supplements to buffer against acid that’s found in the body,” Lockette said

E T H N I C D I F F E R E N C E S

The WSU study, “Ethnic Difference in Titratable Acid Excretion and Bone Mineralization,’ initially sought to explain why black Americans have such a low incidence of osteoporosis, even though they generally consume and absorb less calcium than whites On the other hand, older white women of European descent have the highest rate of osteoporosis, even though they are the largest consumers of dietary and supplemental calcium

The study ultimately found that the ethnic differences in bone density had more to do with acid metabolism than calcium If the body can’t neutralize acid efficiently, calcium benefits may be lost

To test his hypothesis - that the way an individual handles dietary acid affects bone heath - Lockette and his colleagues tested a group of 33 United States Navy SEAL trainees This cohort of highly trained athletes showed a strong relationship between the prevalence of stress fractures and acid excretion Those trainees who had the highest acid output were most likely to have stress fractures during their physical training

Co-author Dr Stephen Farrow, a WSU assistant professor of internal medicine, is a geriatrician who was intrigued by the differences m the incidence of osteoporosis between his African American and European American patients He collaborated on this study to try and

understand the ethnic variables associated with bone density and bone mineralization

“We found that generally, people of European-Amencan descent had higher excretions of calcium and higher excretions of hydrogen ion - or acid - in their urine than did AfriCan-Amencans We don’t know whether this is the reason for the difference m frequency of osteoporosis between these two groups, but we feel it deserves further investigation,” he said

D I E T

Wayne State researchers believe that calcium could be a surrogate marker for something else in the diet That is, diets high m calcium may also be high m acid This link changes the way we view bone health and could help doctors design new prevention plans for people who are at risk for bone deterioration, fractures, or osteoporosis

“This is a whole new area of investigation that has implications for the aging population in the Uhited States It explains or may help explain the differences among ethnic groups in bone mineralization It may have some predictive value at who gets osteoporosis Also, if endogenous acid production or dietary acid intake really does contribute to how well one’s bones mineralize, then we really need to look at our nutritional guidelines, not just in terms of calories, fat content, or sodium intake, but also in terms of acid intake, Lockette said

St. Mary Mercy Hospital opens first phase of cancer centerSt Mary Mercy Hospital in

Livonia opened a new cancer center within the hospital to meet the growing need for convenient cancer treatment for patients m our community The new center, opened Dec 6, is the first phase in a long- range plan to build a full-service, comprehensive cancer center on site

The new St Mary Mercy Cancer Center will provide easy access for outpatient cancer

services, education and resources, as well as outpatient infusion, which includes hemo- therapy and blood products Three exam rooms for multidisciplinary clinics will allow patients to experience one-stop service, and a complete resource center will include educational materials and internet access for patients, families and caregivers

St Mary Mercy Hospital is the only community hospital m

Wayne County accredited by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons (ACOS)

“The cancer program at St Mary Mercy provides our community with a multitude of cancer services, including diagnosis and treatment options, such as chemotherapy, brachytherapy, stereotactic breast biopsy, mammography and radiation oncology,'said Dr HarmeshNaik, medical oncologist

Cancer statistics are alarming Approximately one out of every two American men and one out of every three American women will develop cancer at some point during their lifetime Cancer affects families, not just individuals, and brings with it a host of challenges, issues and concerns

‘ Our goal is to meet the challenges that cancer brings to families, providing appropriate care and treatment m a conven

ient setting for patients,’ said David Spivey, president and CEO

Plans for a full-service, com prehensive cancer center include an extensive fund raising effort to help meet the costs of building such a facility The future cancer center will bring together the latest technology, expertise, and resources available into one convenient area for patients In addition, compassionate, alternative support

ive care integral to cancer patients and their families will be provided

Residents advised to get flu shotsThe Wayne County

Department of Public Health is reminding residents that have not gotten a flu shot to get one

“Our Wayne County health centers have plenty of vaccine to provide to residents that have not received their annual flu shot,” says Dr Donald Lawrenchuk, Medical Director for the Wayne County Department ofPublic Health “Those who have not sought influenza protection are at increased risk of developing serious flu-related complications ”

According to the National Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, influenza results m over 10 0 ,0 0 0 hospitalizations and 20,000 deaths annually The typical flu season begins in November and runs through April

‘Persons aged 50 and over, and those with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, heart or lung diseases should get their influenza shot as soon as possible,” recommends Dr Lawrenchuk

“Also, health care workers and individuals that work with the public should get vaccinated’

Pneumonia vaccine is still available for those individuals 65 years and older A $10 donation for the flu shot and $16 for pneumonia vaccine are being requested, however, no one will be turned away due to inability to pay These shots are also covered services under Medicare County health workers will ask clients to present their Medicare cards so that these services can be billed to Medicare

This year s influenza vaccine protects against theA/New Caledonia/20/99 (HlNl)-like, A/Moscow/10/99 (H3N2)-like, and the B/Hong Kong/33G/2001-like strains For the A/Moscow/10/99 (H3N2)-like antigen, manufactures will use the antigemcally equivalent A/Panama/2007/99 (H3N2) virus

Individuals that are interested m getting flu and pneumococcal shots can get them

at four Wayne County health centers

Wayne Health Center 33030 Van Bom Road Wayne, MI 48184 (734) 727-7100

Sumpter Health Center 19130 Sumpter Road Belleville, MI 48111 (734) 697-9455

When it comes to medication, patients can get too much

The inappropriate use of drugs is a national trend that is causing serious health problems, disabilities, and sometimes even death in patients

Thirty-eight percent of adverse events that occur are preventable, according to one national study Senior citizens, patients with multiple medical disorders or more than one physician, and people who have been recently hospitalized are the highest risk of experiencing an adverse event because of drug misuses

In addition to the health risks involved, the financial costs are enormous For every dollar spent on a drug, $130 is spent managing the complications of drug therapy

So a team at Henry Ford Health System, led by Barbara Zarowitz, vice president of Pharmacy Care Management, has been working to reduce the number of patients who are taking more medicine than they really need

And the work of the team is paying off During a recent six- month period, the number of patients u s in g multiple medications was reduced by 50 percent Results include

■ Five or more continuing

medications dropped from 8 5 to 4 6 per 1,000 patients

■ Two or more benazodi- azepines (e g Valium) decreased from 5 to 1 3 per 1 , 0 0 0

■ Two or more narcotics (e g morphine, codeine) dropped from 18 3 to 3 1 per1.000 patients

■ Three or more oral drugs for diabetes decreased from2 3 to 0 6 per 1,000

■ A potentially dangerous combination of Viagra and a Nitrate (e g nitroglycerin) dropped from 0 4 to 0 01 per1.000 patients

‘It’s been the right message at the right time, Zarowitz said Everyone understands the

importance of patient safetyZarowitz cites the aging of

America, a greater selection of drugs from which to choose, more rapid approvals of medications by die U S Food & Drug Administration, and direct-to- customer advertising as reasons patients are taking too many medications or taking them in potentially harmful combinations

EDUCATION

At Henry Ford, physician and patient education have

been key to the project’s success, said Zarowitz 4

These efforts include using \ specialized computer software [ to identify high-risk Henry Ford patients The information is then shared with physicians through letters, staff meetings or one-on-one meetings tPharmacists review the records with physicians and offer suggestions on how to reduce the number of medications a patient is ta k in g

Team members also are working with nurses and medical assistants, providing tips on how to get the best informa- 1 tion from patients regarding their medication u$e

Patient education materials have included brochures, wal- let-size cards for patients to list their medications and posters m exam rooms Appointment reminder notices are now asking patients to bring all their medications including vitamins and herbal supplements to their doctors appointments

In recognition of its work, Henry Ford recently received a f $50,000 quality improvement , grant sponsored by the Pharmacia/AMGA and the National Committee on Quality Assurance

Q u i t t i n g s m o k in g h a r d , b u t it is n o t im p o s s ib leThe New Year is a time when

many of us make resolutions to change our lives for the better

Unfortunately, the decision to end a tobacco habit is a resolution that some smokers re-use year after year However, with the nght coaching, there’s hope even for smokers who repeatedly try and fail to quit, says Edwin B Fisher, professor of psychology m Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St Louis and director of the Division for Health Behavior Research at the university’s School of Medicine

Fisher, a psychologist who coun

sels patients on smoking cessation, weight control and chronic disease care, has spent more than 20 years researching self-management and self-control He offers tips on quitting and keeping a smoke-free New Years resolution

“There tends to be a lot of chaos m our lives during the holiday season and this chaos can undermine our best efforts to change our lifestyles, said Fisher, who is also a professor of medicine and of pediatrics at the School of Medicine and associate director for cancer prevention and control at the Alvin J Siteman Cancer Center at the medical

school and Barnes-Jewish Hospital m St Louis “So maybe that s a good rea son to think of quitting dunng January rather than quitting on Dec 31

By thinking of the month of January as the time for change, smokers who want to quit can use the momentum of the New Year without forcing themselves to try to quit during the craziness of the holiday season itself Quitting smoking is hard, Fisher says, because nicotine is so addictive and because most smokers have woven the activity of smoking cigarettes into so many aspects of their lives

“It’s a hard thing to do, but if s also very doable,” adds Fisher, who is die author of the American Lung Association’s 7 Steps to a Smoke-Free Life. About 50 percent of all adults who have smoked in this country, have quit smoking As a matter of fact, the average individual who has quit smoking successfully has tried two or three times and felled before

While there is no single formula for quitting, Fisher offers the following suggestions

■ Set a clear “quit date that makes sense for you personally, such as a birthday or some other personal

milestone Choose a Monday morning if you smoke most on the weekends, or a Friday afternoon if you re tempted most at the office

■ Anticipate the situations in which you’re going to be tempted to relapse and have a concrete plan - not a wish and a prayer - but a concrete plan for how you’re going to cope with those temptations

■ Recruit the help of other people No one else can do it for you, but the cooperation and encouragement of those around you can really help you get a hard job done much better

H o w t o e a s e h o l i d a y h a n g o v e r h e a d a c h e sThe onset of the holiday sea

son brings the usual invitations to parties and open houses They offer a chance to visit with valued friends and share in the holiday spirit They also provide the opportunity to eat and drink more than usual

Probably one of the most dreaded aspects of the holiday season is the hangover headache, caused simply by excessive alcohol consumption The discomfort of hangover headache is experienced the morning after because alcohol causes the blood vessels to swell or dilate, which, m turn, triggers headache pam and may cause slight sweating The alcohol also acts as a diuretic, which leads to dehydration

To help avoid of lessen the suffering associated with the hangover headache that often accompanies these annual festivities, the National Headache Foundation offers some common sense advice and a headache-free drink recipe

drinks containing fruit or vegetable juices will probably have less effect than straight alcohol Avoid red wine, which contains naturally occurring chemicals called congeners, Congeners impart the specific characteristic tastes to different types of wine and Other alcoholic beverages Unfortunately, they also may play a role is causing headaches Congeners are more common m red wine than white

E a t so m e h o n e y Honey supplies fructose, a sugar that helps the body metabolize the alcohol ingested, is rich m vitamin B6 and can reduce any hangover symptoms At least one ounce of honey on a cracker or piece of toast, before of after drinking, may prevent a hangover Tomato juice, another good source of fructose, also allows the body to burn alcohol faster The sugar m fruit and fruit juices may also reduce some symptoms of hangover, so

consumption of these products can be beneficial

D n n k flu id s c o n ta in in g m in era ls a n d sa lts Liquids nchm minerals and salts offer relief from the dehydration caused by alcohol consumption A cup of broth or bouillon, for example, will replace fluid and will not cause nausea In general, replacement of fluids with low- acidity beverages, such as sports drinks or water, is helpful

D r in k a c u p o f co ffee Caffeine may provide some relief in alleviating the headache symptoms and decreasing the duration of pam The caffeine acts as a vasoconstrictor and eases the dilated blood vessels

T a ke lb u p ro fe n While aspirin is okay, lbuprofen is typically less irritating to the stomach It also can ease the pain of hangover headache

Alternate non-alcoholic beverages with alcoholic beverages Drinking one non-alcoholic beverage between each alco holic beverage reduces overall

alcohol consumption and helps replenish fluids

Eat greasy food before consuming alcohol While it is wise to be health conscious and avoid too much of these foods m general, this is a situation where eating fatty foods may b^ helpful If consumed prior to drinking alcohol, these foods help line the intestines, which causes alcohol absorption to take longer

While a headache caused by drinking too much may be more common at this time of

year, chronic headaches can be a problem at anytime Headaches are a legitimate biological disease that is treatable If you are experiencing headache pam on a routine basis, make a-specific appointment with your healthcare provider to discuss your headache problem and seek accurate diagnosis and treatment

Study finds porn-firewall software doesn't have to block health info

ANN ARBOR, MI - A comprehensive new study of Internet filtering software finds that libraries, schools and parents can bar access to pornographic Internet sites without necessarily blocking important access to health information

But, the study also finds, setting Internet filters to their most restrictive levels will indeed keep computer users from seeing many health sites - and will only give marginally better protection against pom than the least restrictive setting tested

The findings, published m the Dec 11 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, come from a scientifically-designed study of six filtering packages that was performed for the Kaiser Family Foundation by a University of Michigan team

The researchers tested which health and pornography sites the different filters blocked - or allowed - depending on how software controls were set It compared the filters performance in Internet searches based on 24 health search terms, and in allowing access to 586 pre-selected ‘recommended’ health sites for teens

Believed to be the most rigorous comparative study of its kind, the project holds important implications for libraries, schools and families in the ongoing debate over how to strike a balance between access to the Internet s wealth of information, and the desire to protect children and teens from exposure to electronic pornography

The topic was made even hotter by the U S Supreme Court’s Nov 12 decision to hear a case challenging a federal law requiring libraries to install computer filters “In general, we found that filters were remarkably good at distinguishing between health information and pornography, when set at the least restrictive setting But at highly restrictive settings, almost a quarter of health sites were blocked though there was little improvement m porn bloc king o\ er the lc ist i esti ic tive settings says lead author Caroline R Richardson, M D , a lecturer in the Department of

Family Medicine at the U-M Health System and a research scientist at the Veterans Administration Health Services Research and Development Service in Ann Arbor

Adds co-author Paul J Resnick, Ph D , an associate professor at the U-M School of Information

Much of the polity debate until now has been about whether filters should be installed at all Our study suggests that careful thought and debate should also precede decisions about what settings to choose’

Richardson, Resmck and others from the U-M Health Media Research Laboratory and the Kaiser Family Foundation conducted the study with an eye toward teens, who are likely to turn to the Internet for health and sexuality information

Filters can stnke a good bal ance between protecting kids from pornography while still giving them access to online health information, but only if they’re configured carefully,” said KFF vice president and senior author Vicky Rideout, M A

Previous Kaiser Foundation studies have shown that many teens have used the Internet to look for information on health and sexuality, including topics they may not feel comfortable talking about with parents, teachers or health care providers - from depression to sexual orientation

Three quarters of schools and nearly halt of libraries have installed filtering software on Internet connected computers, to prevent access to certain kinds of information In the mid-1990s there were some reports that such software had blocked access to information on health topics like breast can cer Since then, filter manufac turers have worked to improve their products ability to distinguish between pornography and legitimate health information But until now no publicly available stucK had so thoi ( whH stseed the putoim ancc of the most common fil ters with respect to over block ing of health information

In 2000, Congress passed the Child Internet Protection Act, which required filters on computers at libraries and schools that receive federal funds The portion of the law applying to libraries was struck down m court but an appeal will be heard m the current Supreme Court session

The U-M and Kaiser researchers performed their study with the help of a special-» ly designed JAVA computer *program that conducted |Internet searches and stored the results in a database

The team started with unfiltered searches for 24 health ,and sexuality terms, and six pornographic terms, using six search engines pppular with teens -Yahoo’, Google, America Online (AOL), Microsoft Network (MSN), Ask Jeeves, and Alta Vista.

Some of the health terms were unrelated to sex (for example, diabetes), others involved sexual body parts (such as breast cancer), some were related to sex (for example, birth control), and some controversial health topics (such as abortion)

They then tested whether access to the sites was permitted by seven software packages N2H2, CyberPatrol, Symantec Web Security, SmartFilter, 8e6, and Websense At the least restrictive setting, designed to filter out only pornographic pages, the filter software blocked an average of 14 percent of health information sites and about 87 percent of pom sites At moderate settings, designed to filter pornography, and a few other categories such as nudity and information on drugs and weapons, the filters blocked an average of 5 percent of health sites and 90 percent of pom sites At the most restrictive settings, which barred a broad range of categories, the blocking of health sites reached an average of 24 percent, but pom blocking only increased to about 91 percent

Participants needed for study of child urinary dysfunctionA major pharmaceutical

company is screening children from 1 month throughlS years of age to participate in one of several clinical research studies An investigational medication will be studied for the treatment of neurogenic lower urinary dysfunction in children

These clinical research studies will collect data as a basis for a pediatric dosage recommendation, and evaluate its safety and effectiveness m chil

dren The studies will be conducted at multiple centers throughout the United States, including Children’s Hospital m Detroit, and will involve up to six visits over a period of up to 13 weeks

The investigational medication is classified as an anti- muscanmc drug, a class of drugs that is commonly prescribed for overactive bladder because they reduce the frequency and intensity of con

tractions of the bladder muscle The investigational medication is currently approved for use m adults

The mam control center for bladder function is the brain Nerve signals are routed to the bladder, assisted by communication of nerves in the spinal cord Nerve receptors in the bladder enable unnation to take place by causing a muscle m the bladder wall (detrusor muscle) to contract and the

sphincter muscle to relaxNeurological diseases in

children, such as spina bifida, sacral atresia, cerebral palsy and spinal cord injury, typically result m loss of control over the detrusor muscle The normal control of the bladder is interrupted causing involuntary contraction of the detrusor muscle (detrusor instability or detrusor hyper- reflexia)

The unstable bladder con

traction results m urinary leakage Catheterization may be needed to completely empty the bladder regularly before unstable contractions cause leakage

Children from 1 month through 15 years of age, with neurogenic urinary tract dysfunction due to known neurological disease, who require intermittent catheterization, are being sought to participate in these clinical research

studies Children who qualify to participate will receive study medication, lab screen- H ings that include urodynamic ) studies, and study-related * health exams Compensation * will be provided for time and < travel

Parents or legal guardians should call 1-888-STUDY-96 for a preliminary pre-screening and possible referral to a participating physician for additional information

ANN ARBOR - For many, the holidays are a time to celebrate with friends and family And typically those celebrations aren’t complete without gifts, a big meal with all of the fixings, mountains of desserts, and, often, an over-indulgence in alcoholic beverages

Before you toast the holiday season with a few glasses of champagne or some eggnog, it’s important to know that the consequences of drinking too much maybe more serious than the symptoms of a hangover the next morning In fact, emergency physicians at the University of Michigan Health System say that even moderate dnnking may impair judgment and lead to a number of serious safety and health problems - and m some more extreme cases, alcohol dependence

It is estimated that one m every four patients treated m some emergency departments are treated for reasons related to alcohol intoxication or the consequences of heavy drink* mg

Since alcohol affects the bram and central nervous system, it often impairs people’s ability to function while giving them a feeling of self-confidence or denial that they are being harmed by alcohol Alcohol kills brain cells and causes memory loss, emotional disturbances, loss of coordination and brain damage Longterm alcohol abuse may result in liver cirrhosis and cancers of the throat, mouth, esophagus, stomach and liver

Although alcohol is the United States’ No 1 drug problem, recognizing that a person has become dependent on alcohol may be difficult Even those people who just dnnk on the weekends may be at nsk for becoming dependent on alcohol, says Dr Brian Zink, an

emergency physician m the U- M Health System Emergency Department

“Alcohol dependence is a fairly complex process where the brain adapts to the effect of alcohol so that more and more alcohol is required to produce the same effects,” he said “Even binge drinking (the consumption of more than four or five dnnks on one occasion) can lead to alcoholism the same way it would for a person who dnnks on a daily basis ”

A bmge drinker can be at nsk for alcohol dependence after only three days of heavy alcohol consumption, he said Fora woman, the threshold for problem dnnking with an increased nsk for alcohol dependence is three dnnks per occasion or seven drinks per week. For a man, the threshold is four dnnks per occasion or 14 dnnks per week

Consuming large amounts of alcohol depresses the brain, which reduces bram cell activity over time Then, when the bram is depnved of alcohol, it becomes overactive and irnta- ble Alcohol withdrawal symptoms are the hallmark of dependence on alcohol Common withdrawal symptoms include headaches, restlessness, vomitmg, shaking and nausea

“When that happens, the natural inclination for people is to get rid of those side effects by putting more alcohol in their system

“In some cases, a hangover may be the result of alcohol withdrawal, which would indicate that people may have some dependence on alcohol when they wake up in the morning without any alcohol m their system”

A red flag should go up for anyone who dnnks alcohol to cure a hangover, he said “If a

other places has shown that anyone who is injured m a car accident will have a worse outcome if they have alcohol m their systems compared to someone who is sober In any case, it’s clear that if you have alcohol m your system, the chance of having a senous injury or death is increased ” These findings are directly opposite what most people believe - that being drunk protects a person from serious injury

The best way to prevent serious safety or health risks associated with alcohol is to dnnk m moderation, even if that’s not easy To avoid these nsks, adults should not dnnk more than one dnnk per hour, avoid daily dnnking and dnnking dunng leisure activities

Robotic surgery gives women facing hysterectom y optionsANN ARBOR, MI - Imagine

being a woman and being told you had several tumors on your uterus and the primary surgery to remove them would cause you to loose your fertility

You might think ‘if that s my only option I don’t have much choice In fact, nearly 180,000 women each year m the United States who have fibroid tumors on their uterus make the decision to have a hysterectomy, a procedure that removes the entire uterus

Now, a new procedure at the University of Michigan Health System is changing that It’s called a robotic myomectomy and it allows women to maintain their fertility while surgically removing their fibroid tumors By performing the surgery robotically, the procedure is done minimally mvasively with quicker recovery times for the patient

‘At UMHS, we’ve been fortunate to have the ability to utilize robotic technology in the treatment of some of gynecology s most complex problems, one of which is the treatment of uterine fibroids,” says Dr Arnold Advmcula, clinical assistant professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at UMHS ‘ We now can give women a choice, actually a much better choice m how to treat their tumors ”

Lisa Rudgers knows first hand the choices women are presented with when they have fibroid tumors She found out she had the tumors on her uterus after noticing a mass in her abdomen

‘ I sat down with Dr Advmcula and he was able to really clearly show me the surgical options I faced,’ says Rudgers “I am not yet 40 years old and if I didn’t have to face the idea of having a hysterectomy, I really didn t want to do that So, I choose the minimally invasive robotic myomectomy”

What are uterine fibroids?Uterine fibroids are the most

frequent pelvic tumors seen by gynecologists The> are benign nmois offbrous tissue and

m i x >th uusclc 1 lie fibroids can be found m 1 m 2 African American women and 1 in 4 Caucasian women The highest prevalence occurs m the fourth decade of life

“Fibroid tumors can cause of variety of symptoms,” says Advmcula For some women, they experience pelvic pain and pressure on their bladder because of the size of the tumor In other women they may experience bleeding that becomes a significant disrup tion in their life because their cycles are no longer once a month and for a few days, but can go on for several weeks ”

H o w a r e u te r in e f ib ro id tu m o rs trea ted?

Uterine fibroids can be treat ed m a variety of ways including surgically and non-surgically The first approach is through medications or hormonal therapies The second is with interventional radiology that injects a chemical into die fibroid which blocks the blood supply to the tumor thereby causing it to shrink The third is surgically eithei by a hysterectomy or a myomectomy

‘Myomectomy is the removal of a fibroid tumor from the uterus while leaving the uterus intact,’ notes Advmcula “Traditionally, it’s been done through an open incision on a patient’s abdomen, o r more recently through laparoscopy which allows a surgeon to Operate through small incisions The latter technique is effective with smaller tumors, but for larger tumors that’s where using the robot is highly effective ”

W h a t is a ro b o tic m y o m e c to m y?

Currently, UMHS is the only institution m the world performing robotic myomectomies on a regular basis Instead of performing the surgery by the patient’s side, Advmcula operates from a console a few feet away, viewing a three-dimen-

sional image captured by cameras inside the patient and controlling the surgical instruments Although a second surgeon, nurses, and medical assistants are next to the patient, Advmcula performs the entire surgery by operating the arms of the seven-foot robot remotely A procedure Advmcula thinks benefits both the surgeon and the patient

The robot acts as an extension of the surgeon’s hands,’ Advmcula says ‘The biggest advantage is that I don t have to compromise my approach that I would otherwise do m an open case I can take out a larger tumor of the uterus and

repair it with very little damage to the tissue surrounding the tumor This is very important to women who are choosing this surgery and want to retain their fertility and potentially have children m the future ”

Since the surgery is performed minimally mvasively, patients who undergo a robotic myomectomy have a quicker recovery time than they would with traditional open and laparoscopic surgeries

“I was back up and m the gym and at my desk within a few days, running within a couple of weeks,’ says Rudgers “The recovery time was very minimal because there was no

incision and because there was no hysterectomy

Advmcula says although some women with utenne fibroid tumors have to have a hysterectomy, a robotic myomectomy is providing other women an opportunity to retain their uterus and subsequently, retain their fertility

‘The success that we have been seeing with the robotic myomectomy here at UMHS has been phenomenal,” says Advmcula “It very satisfying to be able to give women a choice in their treatment ”

The UMHS Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is exploring the application of robotic surgery m the use of hysterectomy, as well as complex gynecologic surgery involving cancer staging

The robot joined UMHS’s operatmg team late in 2001, and has successfully assisted m nearly 100 surgeries - including various thoracic procedures, removal of kidneys from living organ donors, gynecological and prostate procedures, and several pediatnc surgenes

Condos at Trillium Park showcase many amenities

Both younger people looking for that first home and empty-nesters looking to downsize might find what they’re searching for at Trillium Park Condominiums

Three-hundred twenty homes will be constructed, four-to-12 per building, at the southeast corner of Maple and Decker roads

Interestingly, the great majority of buildings are in Commerce Township, but three are in Walled Lake The entire Tnllium Park community, however, is within the Walled Lake school boundaries

Prices start at $179,900 for a first-level home of 1,594 square feet, which includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a finished basement

Second-level homes o f1,933 square feet with two beds, two baths and a finished basement start at $189,900, 2,117 square feet with three beds, two baths and finished basement, $197,900

But just about everything is includedAll homes contain at base price two-car garage, air

conditioning, gas fireplace, mam-floor laundry with washer and dryer, plus a range, microwave, refrigerator and range m the kitchen

Ceramic flooring is in the foyer and baths, vinyl in the kitchen and laundry, and carpeting throughout the rest of the home The lighting package includes recessed fixtures

Upper-levels have decks, lower-levels, patios Landscaping is included

“We like to think of this as turn-key,” said James M Galbraith, partner m the project built by MJC Homes “That was our objective ”

‘Three different floor plans appeal to a broad varietyof people,” said

TRILLIUM PARKAlih*southeast comer ofljaptefW md Decker R4 InCommerce Twjs.

Tina Malloy, sales director “People are impressed with the floor plans - very spacious, no wasted space

‘ One of the wow factors is the extenor - they’re thrilled with how they look We get a lot of dnve-by traffic come in and see what we have, she said The other thing

that surprises them is every thing we include ”

The condominiums at Trillium Park present an attractive exterior appearance

‘We enjoy an exceptional location with the opening of the M-5 Haggerty Connector,’ Galbraith said “It’s just marvelous

“And Decker Road south of 14 (Mile) becomes Novi Road and it’s just three miles to Twelve Oaks and the interchange there There’s great accessibility

“We’ve had great market acceptance We were open for about two months and had nearly 50 sold We believe we ve placed a lot of value into the units It’s really the value and location,’ Galbraith said

All of the plans have been built as models The master in all three has a shower, two

vanities and a pair of closets The kitchens in all three have a breakfast bar and onent the sinks toward the dining and living areas All three include volume ceilings

An outdoor swimming pool and cabana will be started next spring, Galbraith said

Tnllium Park is served by city water and sewers The property tax rate is $26 99 per $1,000 of state taxable value m Commerce, $40 88 per $1,000 m Walled Lake

That means the owners of a $180,000 home m the Commerce portion of Tnllium Park would pay $2,450 the first year, m Walled Lake, $3,700 the first year

The monthly association fee of $169 50 includes water and pool operatio is

October home sales show increase here, around U.S.(AP) - Sales of previously owned

homes nationally shot up in October by 61 percent to the third highest monthly level on record

House hunters scrambled to take advantage of low mortgage rates amid an uncertain economic climate

The bigjump pushed sales of existing homes to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5 77 million, according to the National Association of Realtors

That tied with April as the third highest monthly level on record

The performance exceeded analysts’ expectations They were forecasting a small dip m sales of existing homes

Here, sales of houses and condominiums for October - existing and new - mcreased 9 2 percent compared to October 2001, rising to 3,563 from 3,262

The figures were reported by Realcomp II, a multi-listing service, which tracks data for several professional groups including Western Wayne Oakland County Association of Realtors, Metropolitan Consolidated

Association of Realtors and the North Oakland County Board of Realtors

Realcomp II also services real estate boards in Livingston County, Detroit and Dearborn

Through the first 10 months of this year, 33,747 homes have sold within its jurisdiction compared with 32,342 January through October of 2001, Realcomp II reported

That’s an increase of 4 3 percent Sales of existing homes around the

country are on track to post a record this year, the National Association of

Realtors saysHousing is one of the struggling

economy’s few bright spots Home sales have held up well this year and during last year’s recession because mortgage rates are so low

The average rate on a fixed-rate 30- year mortgage was 611 percent in October, up slightly from a record monthly low rate of 6 09 percent in September, and well below the 6 62 percent average rate seen m October 2 0 0 1

The small creep up m mortgage

rates in October probably prompted some people, concerned that mortgage rates might continue to edge up, to jump off the fence and lock in a deal, said David Lereah, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors

Low mortgage rates this year have fed a refinancing boom The extra monthly cash consumers are saving by refinancing their mortgages at lower interest rates is helping to support consumer spending which has been the mam force keeping the economy going this year

Hammy is a two year old Labrador R etriever mix male with a black coat and brown eyes weighing in at 81 lbs He is a shorter pooch for his breed and because of this he is a bit stocky He is very people friendly and enjoys having his tummy rubbed and attention In

addition he is very people orientated and will become attached to you very quickly Due to his energy level he would be best suited for a home without children under eight years of age

To make Hammy your new pet, visit the Michigan Humane Society Westland Shelter

2003 Hummer H2: $53K and worth every pennyA d vertis in g Feature

C A R e p o r t

BY ANNE FRACASSAAVANTI NEWS FEATURES

A n n eF r a c a s s a

Very, very impressed That’s my summation of a week with the Hummer H2

It’s got the creature comforts of a luxury passenger car, the ride and handling of a nimble (and I’m not kidding) sports car and the attributes of a sport utility vehicle

I love this Hummer H2 I didn’t want to give it back I wanted to keep it forever

And, by the way, don’t call it the “baby Hummer” It isn’t It’s taller and longer than the H i The H2 is also taller, wider and shorter in length than the Chevrolet Tahoe But the H2 is just so much more comfortable and better built than anything GM has in production right now You can feel the quality, see the qualify and hear the qualify The engine is quiet, too

I can’t say enough about the comforts of the H2 The seats envelope you like a mother cradles her child The seats have standard eight-way power adjustments and a standard memory feature for the dnver’s seat that lets two drivers have individual settings

Cloth is standard and leather is optional Opt for it - it’s really comfy With the leather seats, you’ll also get heated seat backs and cushions with three temperature settings Second-row passengers also have heated cushions The first thing I noticed about the H2 is just how fast you get heat out of the venting system Less than a minute, and I’m not kidding And that’s in 11 degree weather^ no less Cooling, GM says, is just as fast That’s better than a remote-start aftermarket system, that’s for sure

The heart of the Hummer H2 is the Vortec 6 O liter V8 engine that produces 316 horsepower and 360 lb -ft of torque The standard power tram is made by Bofg- Wamer and is a two-speed electronically controlled fulltime four-wheel-dnve system

There’s nothing real extreme in my area of Michigan, but the H2 is capable of climbing extreme obstacles, much like the H i There’s a 40/60 percent front-to-rear power split when the transfer case differential is locked There are five different selections to the transfer case, including rear axle differential lock

The H2 is capable of going through 20 inches of water and climbing over rocks that are 16 inches m diameter

2003 Hummer H2 is a blast to drive. Vehicle type Large sport utility vehicle. Power* Vortec 6000 V8 engine. Where built* Mishawaka, Ind. Price as tested* $52,870

The ground clearance of the H2 is 10 5 inches And although there are a lot people who have told me over the last week that the H2 is downright ugly, I think they’re way off base It has a strong, aggressive presence Yet it’s not intimidating

I took the H2 to the central part of Michigan and the dnve was enjoyable The whole week in this Hummer was enjoyable I consider the three-and-a half hour drive a chore most times, but because of the comfort of the H2, it was an easy tnp

The H2 has a full welded three-piece ladder-fype frame that promotes strength, stiffness and accuracy You can tell it is built to last It also has independent front suspension with torsion bars and a coil spring rear suspension The traction control system has two different modes

The Hummer H2 sits on 35-mch tires mounted on 17- mch c^st aluminum wheels that are really attractive And there’s a full-size spare in the rear cargo hold There are three rows of seats and the rear-most seat folds down for more cargo room

Actually, that was my major complaint - the lack of cargo room With that full-sized spare back there, along with the rear seat, it’s virtually non-existent But it was my ONLY complaint

Safely and security is all taken care of There are dual front air bags, remote key fobs with panic button, four- wheel disc brakes with anti-lock braking system, those annoying daytime running lamps, auto headlamp con trol passlock theft deterrent syster i, battery rundown

protections, rear door child lockout and OnStarOne system I really enjoyed the dual-zone front heat

ing and cooling controls My better half loves cold, while I love it hot We were able to alternate the setting to our liking, without annoying each other

And, to my children’s delight, the rear seat passengers had their own audio controls

The H2 is also really quiet It’s got triple sealed doors, which makes it quiet on the road When idling, you can barely hear the engine This furthers its reputation as an awesome truck and even at $53K, the H2 is one of the hottest-sellmg trucks in American right now

There are six power outlets strategically placed throughout the cabin The Bose premium AM/FM/CD/cassette audio system has nine speakers and can be heard in Canada from my home in suburban Detroit, I truly believe With a CD in the changer, I cranked it to the second level and it was plenty loud enough

The outside rear-view mirrors are heated and fold m, allowing access into your garage There are inches to spare, but it does fit There’s underbody and rocker panel protection to keep the H2 m good shape

The Hummer H2 is a blast to drive I hadn’t had that much fun since my first time m the Mazda Miata in 1989 And, while at first I thought it was a bit pricey, I’ve changed my mind It’s worth every penny The quality of this vehicle makes it worth it Now go have yourself a blast and dnve one
