excited and confused at the same time. You trust the agent who helped you lind it and leel lhat the advice you receive is solid. Bui you also want to gel opinions aboul the house Irom your besl friend, your parents, and your Uncle Chuck, who has an inactive real estate license.
If you get too much input, you could lind yoursell even more confused than you already are. Your best friend can provide moral support, but probably doesn'l know the market. Your parents may go into shock because they feel lhat they gol so much more house for their money 30 years ago-and it cost them a fraction ol the price you are going to pay. Uncle Chuck may have passed Ihe real estate exam a lew years ago, bul his insights are not as crucial as those ol a professional who is currently working Ihe market.

ByWENDY PIERMAN MITZEL Stall Writer
Jo Polisaiio was a mall atloatl of his time.
As owilci' aiifl broker for J.P. Really Co. in the 1970s and early 80s. Polisano foresaw the Grand r<lver Avenue corridor as a hot colnlnodtty. Unlbrtunately, the recession got in his way. And lalld deals and development planned for the area were slowed or stopped,
"I was coming down Grand River today aild saw a couple of parcels I had on the market are sold," Polisano said, sitting in one of his many Novi hangouts, Vic's coffee llar, 'Things you couldn't give away Ijecause of the flood plain are built on .,. I couldn't give that stuff away."
Diagnosed with cancer last year. Polisano was "forced" into retire-nient and makes his way through each week on a routine of breakfasts at Coney Island and Guernsey's, dinners at China Cafe and Saturday's at Vic's Market,
lie chats often with other longtime residents and newcomers aboul life when Novi began taking shape.
In 1982, on property about where he sat earlier this week, Polisano began negotiating a deal for a major headquarters for Starr Cutter Tool at Grand River and Novi Road. But the deal fell through 'because of high Interest rates an(i other recession problems.
"1 was too early, ahead of my time." he said.
Now, however, a strong economy and location, location, location is puttillg the corridor on the map as ripe for redevelopment.
In fact, the corridor is seeing so much development Novi city offi
cials met last month to talk about creating a new image that could Include wrought-iron lampposts, iilcreased landscaping and maybe a widening of the road.
Polisano said Grand River looks now aboul the way he imagined.
"This area is (icvclopc([ pretty much like I envisioned it. although 1 was thinking a lillle more office." he said.
The traffic doesn't surprise him either.
'They didn't want a main thoroughfare," he explained. "The clly wanted to control the traffic, bul 1 couldn't see how they could do lhal."
Novi Cily Manager Ed Kricwa'll said Polisano was inslruineillal In helping the city get the land for the Grand I ver Avenue fire station property. "He worked with me to gel that property gifled fi-onl the longtime owner," Kriewall said. "He was active around town."
Polisano said he worketi ofteil wilh city officials lo help plan the city, bring wanted development lo the area and "direct undesirables lo another location."
For instance, he recalls a time wheil a prospective buyer wanted to build a junkyard in Novi with 700 cars and he directed hint to another town.
"Could you imagine if I had come into the planning boaixl or cily council and asked them to put that in?" Polisano said.
"There was a little lying and cheating going on to keep people out of here," he added.

It begins without symptoms. There is no pain. And by
the time vision loss is severe enough to be noticed,
treatment can be very difficult or even impossible. Each
year over 25,000 diabetics lose their vision as a result of
damage to blood vessels in the retina, a condition
known as diabetic retinopathy. Nearly half of all diabet
ics will develop some degree of diabetic retinopathy
during their lifetime.
For our next Health Night Out, the University of Mich
igan Health System will present Diabei\c Eye Disease:
What you need to know. Leading the presentation will
be University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center compre
hensive ophthalmologists Jerome I. Finkelstein, M.D.,
and Susan S. Thorns, M.D., both of whom treat patients
at the University of Michigan Center for Specialty Care
in Livonia.
During the presentation you'll learn how the normal
eye functions.. .how doctors diagnose and treat the two
types of diabetic retinopathy...why diabetic patients are
more likely to develop cataracts and glaucoma...who is
at risk for a vitreous hemorrhage...what surgical
options are available...what every person with diabetes
can do to help prevent eye problems...and more.
Join us on Thursday, June 25 for otir next Health
Night Out at the Holiday Inn - Livonia West. Find out
what people with diabetes can do to lower their risk for
eye disease and to preserve good vision for a lifetime.

It will look good on Senate candidates' literature to say "no tax hikes without a 60 percent vote of the I-eglslature," but in practice It's unlikely to happen.
The Republican-run state Senate June 11 approved four bills that would require a three-flfths vote of each chamber to raise the income, sales, use and single business taxes. They're doomed in the Democrat-run House.
The bills don't give taxpayers any protection," said Democrat Gary Peters of Bloomfield Township, summing up the opposition. T o override (the 60 percent requirement], all you need is a majority vote."
Republicans, led by Gov. John EngleL want to amend the Michigan Constitution to require a 60 percent vote instead of a simple majority on tax increases. But to put it on the ballot, they need a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and House, and so far they have been unable to get it even In the Senate, where the GOP has 22-15 control.
So Sen. Bill Bullard Jr., R-Mll-ford, reported four bills from the Finance Committee that would amend laws to require a 60 percent yes vote - 23 out of 38 in the Senate, 66 out of 110 In the House.
'This Is so a future Legislature cannot undo the gains we've made," said Bullard, citing 24 tax cuts during the Engler years.
But Republicans suffered two major defections - John Schwan of Battle Creek and Jon Clsky of Saginaw - who Voted no. TTie GOP passed the bills 21-14 when two
Democrats defected to the yes column - George Z. Hart of Dearborn and Ken DeBeaussaert of Macomb County.
Here's how area senators voted: YES - Republicans Mike
Bouchard of Birmingham, Bill Bullard Jn of Mllford, Mat Dunaskiss of Lake Orion, Loren Bennett of Canton, Bob Geake of Nort;hvilIe, Mike Rogers of Biighton and Democrat George Z. Hart of Dearborn.
NO - Democrats Gary Peters of Bloomfield Township, John Cherry of Clio, Alma Smith of Salem, and Republican John Schwarz of Battle Creek.
The usual conversational buzz on the Senate floor halted when Schwarz, who is president pro tern, denounced the bills as "Ill-advised. They put power in the hands of 15 (a minority that would vote no) instead of 20 (a simple majority voting yes].
"I can't think ofa tax increase I'd support, but that's not the point. We denigrate ourselves, we denigrate the chamber." He said supporters are "blind to anything but their own machinations. This is a mere gesture, it's unconstitutional," Schwarz finished, predicted the bills win die in the House.
Several Democrats, Including Alma Smith of Salem and Art Miller of Warren, sought to embarrass Republican leader Dick Posthumus by prinUng Schwarz's remarks in the permanent Senate Journal as their reasons for voting no.
Sen. Mike Bouchard, R-Birmlng-ham, replied to Democratic criticisms by saying the tax cuts of the 1990s are endangered because "a future Legislature could overturn
this decision. We are not afraid at all of today. It's tomorrow ...
•This (the bills) Is not to look good In ads. This is our heartfelt view," Bouchard said.
Sen. Alma Smith, D-Salem, warned that it's difficult enough to get a simple majority for a tax increase. "It took the governor many weeks to put together a gas tax increase," she said, noting Engler got only 19 of 22 Republican votes in 1997 to do it.
Sen. Chris Dlngell, D-Trenton, said the Legislature, far from being tough on taxs, has voted 70 tax and fee increases and doubled the state debt In the last eight years.
The package voted by the Senate would affect only Income and single business taxes, even If approved by the House. The sales and use taxes could not be raised beyond 6 percent unless voters first approved a constitutional amendment; only then could the Legislature raise rates.
The Senate bills would have no effect on the unemployment compensation tax, gas and oil severance taxes, foreign Insurance company retallatoiy tax, and tobacco products taxes; beer, wine and liquor taxes; gasoline, diesel fuel, liquefied petroleum, aviation, marine vessel and motor carrier fuel taxes; lnotor vehicle weight and aircraft weight taxes; water-craft registration taxes; or any license fees.
Refer to Senate Bills 1163 (single business tax), 1164 (use tax), 1165 (income) and 1166 (sales tax) when writing to your state representative. Slate Capitol, PO Box 30014, Unslng 48909.

11 all came down to the fence. Back with a iTsubinlssion for
preliminary approval. Children's World Daycare cenler, almost recelveil Ihe ^recn llj^lil, June 10, unlil Ihe Novi Plailrliilf; Commission realizetl pari of a vmyi (<reen, chain-link fence could he visible from Ten Mile Road.
It was only after designers aflreed In replace ii with a "tubular steel" fence that ajiproval was granted.
"We're down lo a minor detail," said avehileel John Finmore. "If there's sonielhlil)< we can do here... I'll af<ree to the tubular fence if we can (.Jet this passed."
The 8.850 square fool center, proposed for the north side of Ten Mile Road west of T'aft Road, Is lo be built with a perimeter of fenciiij^ for the cliildren's safety while on the piavf^round. But when first proposed in January, comniissioners were unhappy aboul tile use of a si.x-foof hifih eliain-link fence.
It would detract from the residential cilaracler of Ihe area and look unsi(;litly Irom the road.
liislead. they re(piested a wroiif<lit-iron type fence be installed, and the dcsifjncrs com-jilled.
IIowe\'er, last week, when Chi l dren's World needed to arid another 300 square feet of space, the eoniinissloners noticed (he chain link fence alonj; tile western edf e of tlie property coukl be seen from the road, althoiif^ll II would be heavily screened.
"We were very si)eeinc aboul not seeinf^ that chain link I'ence," said Commissioner Pete Tloadley.
"Wc were veiy adamant aboiil what that would look like," pointed out Commissioner Brent Canup. It should blend inlo the residential properties around it and "a chain link fence, especially six loot hifjh doesn't do that."
Commissioners also impo.sed a i-estriclion that the center cannot rent out the facllily to parents for birthday parlies or other uses, because il wouldn't be compatible to the area.
Children's World is expected lo serve 158 children.

Tile effects of El Nino are e.xpecleil lo brinf< a hot summer and a high demand for electricity in Southeastern Michifjail, bul [3elroit Edison says customers can keep cool and control their energy costs by following some energy-saving tips.
Closing blinds, shades and draperies keeps Ihe sun ou l and helps fans and air eondilioncrs cool more efficiently. If you use a window fan. make sure draperies are secured for better air circulation and safely.
Set the thermostat for the central air conditioner at the highest coiilforlable setting, but when leaving for five hours or more, raise the setting five to 10 degrees.
Raising the temperature just two degrees will reduce cooling costs by 5 percent.
Refrigerators work harder to keep food cold In warm weather.
If you have an extra refrigerator in your garage, consider unplugging it or using it only when necessal3'. A refrigerator in an uncooled space uses more energy.
Insulation not only keeps cold winds outside
but also prevents warm outside air from entering spaces you cool in the summer.
Check weatber-slripi)ing and caulking around doors and windows, and (dose storm windows and rioors to keej) liol air out and cold air in.
Other lips include: • Regular maintenance will help air condition
ers last longer and work belter But before doing any maintenance work, remember to disconnect the electrical power. Keep the outside of air conditioners free of dust and debris, clean fan blades annually and clean or change air filters evciy 90 days during the cooling season. Seal any leaks in air duels ami basement registers.
• When using a window air conditioner, close doors leading lo uncooled parts of your home for more efficient cooling. Eliillinale air leaks between the air conditioner and the window with foam insulation or wealher-slripping.
• if you use fans for cooling, blades should rotate clockwise in the summer months. Most celling fans have a switch that controls the
direction of the blades. Use fans lo draw cooler air Inside during the nif^lil and circulate air during the (lay.
• Control humidity in your liome by doing chores that produce moisture - like dish washing and laundiy - early in tile morning or late in the evening,
• On hot days, minimize the use of appliances that generate heal such as stoves and clothes dryers.
Detroit Edison customers use more energy in the summer months lhan during other times of the year.
Detroit Edison encourages customers who foresee bill-payment problems to contact the utility al 1-800-477-4747.
The utility will help cuslomers make payment arrangements and may be able lo direct low-income customers to sources of bill-paying assistance.

Ben Lyon and Bebe Daniels signed this photo for Jean McLain.
Continued from l
Incliidiilg lllclr visit to IJctroit. As their local secretary, McLiln
would take dictation In .shorthand and transcribe it by typewriter Inlo a roliflh copy, Daillels or Lyon then corrected the rough copies and kepi Ihe polished orifjlnals,
"1 was hackstafie all the tinle, 1 knew all the fellows in the orchestra. 'I'hey were all so nice to me," McLain sakl,
Mcl-ain still has the rough copies of a radio sciipt for a Detroil broadcast and a letter Daniels sent to her mother on the statloiiary of her hotel, the Book Cadillac,
Mere's whal Daniels had to say about her tour al The Michigan Theater:
"Mother Darling, Opened in Detroit Friday to great business, Audieilces have been simply marvelous. Newspapers have been exceptionally conipllmenlaiy."
Much of the letter concerns qucsllons about the couple's baby daughter and the slock at the dress stores Daniels and her mother owned. She also asked her mother lo send her two bottles of ilall polish, blood (color), two large jars of cold cream aild two bottles of ilair clcaiiiiig Ihiid.
"She had a lot of clothes. She was attractive. She looked real good In her clothes," McLilin said,
"He was very, very nice, very gentle-
Daniels had a friend who traveled with her to do her hair aild make-up. One evening, McLean took the assistant lo a blind pig in Detroit located near the site of the present Michigan Opera Theater, McLean spent the night in the stars' suite.
'The next morning, we got up early and were sitting n the living room talking and who walks In but DeBe, She put her hand over her face. She didn't have her illake-up on aild she didn't look loo good," McLean recalled.
Daillels and Lyon were typically billed as "Hollywood's Happiest Couple" and the script Ihcy crafted in advance for their Deiroit radio interview features a playful series of mock disputes.
Lyon briefly refers to owning a Stinson plane. Stinson Aircraft Company was founded In Nortllvllle by aviator Eddie Stinson.
McLean has sevei-al photos, autogi'aphed by the Hollywood couple and dedicated to her. The largest has several fold lines
because fronl 1942 lo 1946 Mckan virtually lived out of a suitcase.
"it's a wonder they didn't entice her lo Hollywood," her friend Florence Fatt said last week.
Well, they did, in a way, 111 an era when not nlany women
took to the road, McLiiil and a girlfriend drove across counliy in a 1941 Duick lo Porilaild, Oregon.
'That was really somelliing. all the people were saying how do you do it. 1 wouldn't even do that today," she said.
She spent a year In Sealtle, working as a secretary' to the U,S, Na\7. She headed to Hollywood and married her late husband, Clarence in 1944,
McUiil believes her brief brush with the movie stars had an inlpact on her future life,
"Wlien you're lhat youilg and in the limelight, it makes you feel good. It gives you ambition to go on," she said,
"My son Michael says, "Mom, that's why you got as far as you did being an office manager.' You have lo have the Inspiration In your person to make It."
As for BeBe Daniels and Ben Lyon, after their brief stint In
W
Detroil, they would continue to lead interestUlg lives. In 1935, the two Anlericans fled the U,S, for England after their children's nuise was implicated In a kidnapping plot.
When World War II broke out in 1939, the coliple remained in London, entertaining troops and clvil-iails during the blllz, Daiilels premiered the soilg "White Cliffs of Dover" oil their radio show.
Alter the U.S. entered the war, Lyon enlisted in the Army Air Corps and Daniels performed on Ihc froilt lines, landing In Normandy 14 days after D-Day.
In peacetime, Lyon became casting dliector at 20th Centuiy Fox and discovered a starlet named Norma Jean Dougherty in 1947, He encouraged her In her career and created a new name for her, Marilyn Monroe,
Bebe Daniels was crippled by a stroke In 1963 aild died in 1971. Lyon remarried and lived until 1979.

There simply aren't e l lougi l hours in Ihe day lo tell all of the stories lhat ,ijo on in this sehool distriel. Eduea l i on encompasses so many things. Politics, budj^els. eui-riculums. faillilies, humall development, entertainment, un ions and ever}' aeadeillie subject under the sun. Dur ing my first year repol-ling on Ille eduealion heal. I have covered slories as personal as how a suspension affeeled one stlideilt 's hopes for a sports
scllolarship, and as broad as how President Cl in ton proposed to i-eduee classroom sizes across the l i a l i o l l .
Now, finals are over and sui l l l l ler vacation has begun and I realize there's one Norlhville school I didn't \'isit a single tlnlc.
Perhaps that's because it's located outside Noi-thville's boundaries, or pci-haps it's because the students there don ' l use tradit ional lllelhods of eolllnluuication.
In either case. I met some of the teachers and students froill the Blyant Center for the first tillle when Ihey presented their program at the Ju l i e 8 school board nleeting.
The center is run by Nortllville Public Schools, b i l l due to space constraints, it's physically located on Mer-riman Road in Livonia.
Many of the enlotionally and mentally impaired students at the Bryant Center can't verbalize their feelings.
They aren't the s ludenis who bring home national academic awards or instrumental music honors. They don't attend prom at the Dearborn Hyatt or become stars on the h igh school football team.
Bu t 17 Bryan t Center students who make up the
school's "Signsations" group got l-ecognition of an equally important sort a l the recent meeting.
'I'hey received a standing ovation aftel- they performed a rendition of Michael Bolton's sollg "Going the Distance" i n sign language.
Under the direction of teachel-s Anne O'Donnell, J a n Nagle and Kathy Brady, the group practiced signing the song from the Disney movie Hercules Ibr two months before perfornling it for Ihc board.
O'Donnell said l h a l by s igning tile lyrics that l-elate to their personal struggles, the s ludenis leai-ned new vocabulaly, like the words "embrace" and "fate." They also learned to foeus their attention on a task and l-elate to concepts like fast and slow, big and small , near and far.
Some of them, O'Donnell said, improved their fine motor ski l l s and gained a better understanding of their owll body inlage.
Fronl the teary-eyed ovation of the full house at the sehool board lneeting, I th ink the students also learned that they have Ihe power to embrace olhel-s with their message of hope a l ld achievement against the odds of fate.
The silent grace of sign language allowed their voices to be heard above the soundtrack that played behind their performance.
In the fall of 2000. after Northville's new high sehool is buil t and Cooke Middle School takes over the old site on the h i l l , the Blyant Center wil l move into Cooke and be housed i n the district for the first time in its histoly.
Maybe then people in our comlllunity wil l learn about the wonderful programs and people a l the center.
Though sti l l located outside our boundaries it's not too soon to start. Bryant's heartfelt stories make up an important part of the Northville public educational sys-teln.

Second only to i-ool-i i lg Ibr the Red Wings Iloekiw team. Miehi-.lian'seiirrenl I'avorilc parlor sport is bashing Northwest Ai r lines.
There's piciitv to basil : • Innumerable fiigbls delayed, often without explanation or any clear informa-lion aboul when jias-seilgers can expect to he oil their way.
• Many nights canceled outright, some under circumstances thai lead rea.sonable peojlle lo conclude that the airiiiu's simply has decided the kiad lac-tor on a i lar l ic i i lar fiighl is loo low lo bother wi lh llyiug.
• Persistently poor labor rclalion.s. accom-Ilanied by the usual positional barassmenl associated w i l h labor dis i luU's . such as mechanics' working to rule and pnllini^ the plug on llifihls lor want of batleries on a llashlight.

When llyiilf^ lo the Washington. U . C . area, for instance. I had the option ol' buying a round trip ticket on Northwesi to Reagan National Airporl for $788 or Hying

Cl i iys ler and G M are negotiating cheap fares wi lh upstart ProAir. which has been struggling to eoiiipele with Northwest's predatory priciun praeliees. Norll iwesl 's stock is way down. I'or a company in the semee industry, the long-ler i i i damage lo Norll iwesl 's re|lulalion could be iucaleulahle.
Hut Ilefore we let ourselves get carried away i l l a h-iMizy of Northwest basiling, we should pause lo rcneet that Ihe long-lenii health of soutlleasU'rn Michigan's major air carrier is of considerable inlilortance In Ille economic l i ca l l l i o l t he regon . A lerniiiially diminislied Norihwesl Airlines is in nobody's long-leriii in leresl . because much of the forward economic progress ol' our region depends on hc-altlly. eineient. cost-effective air Iransil.
Some of Norll iwesl 's problems ai'c rclati\'e-ly sl lorl- terin.

As late as 1885. Nof-thville had only one lawyer i l l town and his nanle was Elias S. Woodman. The son of Dr. Joseph and Sa l ly Wright Woodman, El ias was born in Rodman, N.Y. in 1816. He traveled wcsl with his family the sanle year Mich i gan became a slate, in 1837.
They .setlled i n Novi, bul his father died the next year, nlaking young Elias head of the lai-ge falliily. At age 22, Elias Woodman was suddenly the soul supporter of a family of five younger bl-olhel-s. one sister, and their mother.
Shortly after his father's death. Elias bor-l-owed $ 1 from a neighbor lo use for legal services lo sellle his lather's estate. The neal-esi attorney was F . J . Drake of Pontiac. Drake
was so impressed by the determined young man, he waived his legal fee and helped h im settle his affairs thus enabling Woodman to repay Ihe dollar lo his neighbor on his return.
The lawyer ha(l much inlluence on young Wcodl l lan . and the study of law became Woodnlan's pa.ssion. Noled in bis obiluaiy as "a n lan of greal force and delerniinalioil ." Woodman was successful in gaining admil -lance lo the Michigal l Sla le Bar wil l ioul ewer having attended law school.
El ias Woodman was olle of Ihe youngest melllbers to .seiVe on Ihe slale Consl i lu l ional Coi ivenl ion of 1850. working with the Honorable J . D . Pierce and Isaac E . Craiy. advocates and authors of the homestead Exemp-l ion U l w and the free public .school system.
Woodillan had nlarried Mary llungcrford of Plymouth in 1840. Tlley raised four sons and one daughter hel'ore M a i y died in 1868. Two ycal-s later. Elias nlarried his sister-in-law. Lavina.
Woodnlan's obi lua iy in 1894 praised l i im as "frank, open-hearted and genial, bul firm in his convictions."
Part of these convictions pf-ompted Woodman lo give the firsl speech in Michigan urging participation in Ihc War of the Rebellion, later known as the Civi l War
According lo an 1890 his loiy of Wayne Counly:
"When Ihc news of Ihc al lack on Fori Sl imier by Ille Sou l l l c r i l Confederacy in 1861 reached Novi. a meeling of citizens being held al the schoolhouse. M r Woodman was called oul and made a short specH-ll on the si lua-tion. pledging himself lo do all in his jlower to put down Ihe rebellion...lie kepi Ills promi.se well, enlisted his own son and went Iwice lo Ihe seal of war and sjienl his lime in camp and hospital, nursing sick and wounded soldiers."
His soil 's life was - forlnnalely -- spared, and l l icy both reluri ied home lo Novi.
Elias S. Woodman died in Norlhville in October 1894 al the age of 78. an honored and well-respecled citizen of the communily.

George Romney. the former governor now dead Iwoyeai-s, testified in courl against ineumbenl J o h n Engler the olher day. It tells you why the issue of Engler 's effort to emasculate the Slate Board of Educalion is so hot. and why it probably will l-equire the state Supreme Cour l lo seUle it. Engler actually
would like to abolish the Slate Board of E d u cation, an eighl-nlelllber body elected by us voters. It contains (ugh!) lour Democrats. Worse, its majority is pro-public schools. Engler wants to create dozells more "charter" schools, which al'c basically special-interest private schools i-corganizing to feed al the lax t rough. No wonder so many people say "Engler hates public schools."
In 1996 Engler issued two executive orders (EOs) transferring many powers of the Slate B o a r d to the superintendent of publ ic instl-uetion. who ju s t happens to be an Engler loyalist, fonller Commerce director Art El l is . The EOs are as du l l as the Drain Code, but a key elemenl is that they shift supervision of chal-ter schools from the Slate Board to El l i s .
Engler must have grinned with delight as he signed the E O s because he pointedly rescinded an order signed years before by the hated moderate. Gov. B i l l Mil l iken, Romney's successor.
Well , Kathleen Straus and the other three state Board Democrats weren't about to take
that, so they sued Engler in Ingham Circui l Cour t where Judge Carolyn Slell issued i i l j i inel ions against the govei-nor's EOs.
Engler went lo the Court of Appeals, which on J u n e 9 ruled 2-1 in his favor Bu l one can tell it wasn't a strong win because of the fervent dissenting o])iilioil of Judge E. Thomas Fitzgerald of Owosso. Cleal-ly. the final decision will be up lo the Supl-emes.
In Engler's defense. let it be .said thai most -Miehigan governors have bemoaned Ihcir lack of power lo do w l l a l they think tlie public wants. J i m Blanchard . Romney himself Soapy Wi l l i ams . Alex Groesbeck. Chase Osborn. Fred Warner - most governors in the 201h C e n l u i y and many in the 19lb had the same complaint. Engler is no worse lhan anyone else. Jus t s l icker
The Michigan Consti tution of 1963 got rid of the elected superintendent of public instruction; set up a more powerful Sla le Boal-d of Educal ion lhat had constitutional powel-s. nol merely s la lu to ly jjowers: and made the superintendent a hired man.
Judge Fibcgerald. allegedly a Democrat in his private polifies, dipped into the deliberations of the 1961-2 Constitutional Convention, quoting heavily from an Oakland County delegate nallled George Romney. who said:
'The thii'd thing it does is lo enlarge the funcUon of the board. The new board of education is given leadership and supeivision over eduealion other lhan colleges and universities ... (It) gives this board overall planning and eoordinaling responsibility for all education. This we have no l had ...
"(T)his enlargement of the board's aclivilies does not increase the authority of the board beyond that ilow granted in the present con-s l i l uUon lo the superintendent ... The pre
sent (1908) const i lul ion gives the superinlen-dcnl . . .veiy broad authority over eduealion. but he is nol properly ecpiipped either from the stand|)oiiit of slaff and dcpari ineil l ... This (new board) provides a more snilablc means of discharging these imporlani fiine-lions."
Romney was followcci l^y D. Hale Brake, former slale Ireasul-er and as crusty a conservative as Gratiot County ever produced:
"My first premise is that the 8 members of the board sl iould lay down the jlolicy ... They .should make the decisions. They know what the problems are. They should be the dominant force.
"II seems lo me that while M r Itonlney didn't say so. one of the principal objeclives ... is lhal of moving Ihe dc])arlmenl of educalion a little further away from the political arena." by which Brake meant the governor. Brake concluded:
"My first premise is thai Ihe board ought to run the show."
The opinions run 20 pages of small type, and they're hard lo summarize. The majority opinion by Judge Peter O 'Connel l says Engler's E O s don't infringe on the board's constitutional powers, and lhal the board s l i l l employs the superintendent.
That's not politically accurate, as both Engler and former Gov. J i m Blanchard were able lo maneuver their pals into the superin-tendeney.
The olltcome? 1 would wager the Slate Board, Geol-ge Ronliley and D. Hale Bl-ake will prevail in the Supreme Court in a 4-3 decision.

)G9 ycir.s of llfelliiic was jiackt'd Into the
,Soiin; 4
Novi Senior Ceiilcr last week, as 5,5 people age 80 or older got together last wi.'ck lor a hirlhday hash.
The society's an e.xckislve one, hill of those who have sun'ived the odds and achieved longevity,
"It's inspiring lo the younger ones to .see all the people who are 80 and over and how aciive Ihey are," .said Novi Parks and Recreation Coordinator Katliy Crawford,
"Years ago In Novi, jieople who were ovi t 80, you didn't see tlieiii outside. Tlif-y stayed In the lioine. Now, they're everjavliere. Howling, diiiiclng, they're doing everj'llilng."
Piirty-goers brought a speetnini of life's adventures to the celcljra-tioii - phis an appetite for pork chops, scalloped potatoes and wlille-frosled birthday cake.
They came from Detroit, they ciiine from Cleveland, they came from Oiltjirlo and even from China lo live in Novi aiirl Ihe surrounding area. They did their bit for the population boom, most have children, grandchildren and great-graiidelill-dren.
Hefof-e retiring these representatives of the older generation had careers ranging from featherweight l)o,\er lo mining engineer
Walt Cheaney w;is only 16 when he came up north fronl Kentucky because he heard Henry Ford was paying workers good money.
A nurse hy profession, Caroline Glese won a Civil Air Patrol contest lhat enabled her to get her pilot's license. She flew the plane while pregnant.
"Were you pregnant when you gol ill the plane?." Crawford wondered,
"It could have been a long lllght." Jean Mcl,aln, now 82, worked as
an office manager a I Ihe J, ke llackett Company until she was 68.
"When 1 started lo work, I look five years off my age, so when I retired. Illcy said, why don't you stay until you're 65," McLiln said.
"1 really enjoyed my life.- I stay very active all the time."
Everyone was all dressed up and a photographer took their pictures. The last time Ihe Novi Senior Center held an 80-plus birthday bash was In 1996. This one was co-sponsored by Providence Hospltal-Provldencf; Park,
"When you figure In their lifetimes, all the things that have happened, all the discoveries, appliances, television and automobile. There's hardly anything we use today that hasn't been Invented In
Iheir liietimes," Crawford said. Kach probably has his or own
theory about how lo live a long life. McClalii suggests staying busy.
"I'm a Canadian, good genes. My mother was 93 when she died," said Calherlne Liliey.
Several couples were among those honored, including Charles and Mildred llnltsberiy, who have been married (i.'i years. "Give or lake. It's aboul forgiveness." is what he calls the secrel to slaying married.
"I don'l know. I guess we jusl worked al il. We were born in the Depression. \VV couldn't afford a divorce." Mildred llollsberry chlpiied In.
Afler rellreiiienl. many of the seniors have developed new skills. Take Chuck Burke, who plays the fal.se leelli In the Novi Senior Center hand. Iliirke wasn't performing ai the party - he needed Ihc leelli for the luncheon.
"You'd be surprised at how mtliiy women you can get with those false teeth," Crawford .said.

Coutliiued from l to wall(. 1 just wanted soiiiclhiiifr to ride," Scolly said
"It worlds i l i i ic l l better lllnn 1 tlioiij^llt."
Scotly's fatller. Bill Russell, was dcli^li lcd with (lie (^o-carl.
"He hiid a stroller made up with Red Winj;s thiiifis, but he feels like he's too old for stroller," Russell said.
Based in Mount Clemens, The Raillbow Connection grants one wish each lo some 130 crilically ill children between the aj es of three and 18 annually, said Wish Director Chris Abratowski. The averafje wlstl CDsls llle non-profit loiinda-iinn abolil $3,000.
"Scotty's wish is unique. That's the first >;o-carl jeep. It's Just so cool, it's awesome," Abratowski said.
"1 get a lot of the Disneys, when 1
jjet soiilcthiilf; different, 1 just ijet so excited."
It didn't take lon(< for Scotty to learn to drive, as he cruised around Couji^ar's parking lot with his seal belt orl.
"lie's a fast learner. He's a siilarl lilllc guy," his dad explained.
Scolly has met Ihe entire Red Wings team and visited their locker room. While he was in the hospital, Chris Draper and Darren McCarty dropped by to see him.
"(Red Wings trainer] John Wharton called our honle one day and asked to speak to Scotty. 1 said, •who is this?," Bill Russell said.
Cougar and the company's owners, Marty Schniilt and Al Whitheld donated the labor needed to customize the $3,000 go-cart, said Rick f^ingley, parts and ser\'lce llianager for the lAvclve Mile Road business. Technician John Rogala
did the work. Nol many kids have a toy of this
caliber. "Grown-ups buy these for camp
sites up north," Blilgley said, Scotty said he plans to lake his
brother and sisters, as well as his best friend, for a spin. His brother Billy, 13, was there for one of the test drives.
Scotty had a big hug for Biilglcy after he got out of the lidle Jeep, while Bingley had a driver's manual and a few pointers for Scotty.
"Reilleiliber. no more lhan one girl al a tlille and no drinkiilg and driving, unless it's pop," Bingley teased him.
"This will go anywhere. You can ride this in the snow. You are going lo be the boss."
The Rainbow Connection was contacted by one of Scotty's doctors four months ago. Children
i-eferred to the organization must have a refereilre from their doctor. Abratowski said only one wish per child can be granted because "there are so many sick kids out there."
Other kids typically ask for computers, shoppiilg sprees, vacalions or their bedrooms redecorated.
Not Scolly. "He was thrilled, 11 looks pretty

The company's new il,"),000 sii. ft, complex will be imi'i-valed in the Detroit area—and sei'ves iis an example of how dilif^'cnlly they cari-y out their mission.

"Many of our menlbers Ilave children and we want those childi-eii to feel welconlc," says Mark Zaebst, Vice Pi-csident of Development.
The fi'ee childcare center is staffeil seven days a week hy certified professionals and fea-tui-es a variety of fun, educational activities for children aged 12 and undei-. Toddlei-s aro entertained by special games and (levelopmeiltdl toys. I^reschoolevs enjoy space mazes, ball pits and junior spoil courts. And older children can e.xercise their minds thi'ough the use of kid-friendly computers and a reading lihi'ary. There's even a special surround-sound theatre for yoling nlembei's who would like to watch educational shows or family movies.
Another dimension of the company's focus on the family is its Life Time Kids educational pi-ogram. Designed to provide young menlbers with structui'cd activities and safe instruction, Life Time Kids courses cover everything from swimming and tumbling to karate and I'ock climbing.
"We're eonlinitted to the well-being of the entii-e lilnlily," asseils Zaebst. "The Life Time Kids pi'ogi'aills are one moi'e way in which we help kids inakc early lifestyle choices and develop important skills."

"I']ducalion is the single most inlpoi'tant element in creating a healthier lifestyle and a key element in our commitment to members," adds Life Time Fitness University director, Michael Brown. "If you'll learn more about how your body works, you'll get illoi'e results from your workouts and stay a member much longel-. That's why we discount our enrollment fee for new members who'll attend one of our free fitness and llutrition seminars. We want to make a meaningful diffei'eilce in the quality of people's lives."

S u p e r i o r amenit ies a n d
services The Life Time Fitness
appi-oach to health, sports and fitness facilities I'cselllbles that of a high-end department stoi'c: Everything you could need or want under one i-oof A wide aiTay of anlenities includes state-of-the-art cardiovascular and resistance ti'aining machines, the coinpa-ny's tl-adenlarked lai'ge-screen entertainment systelll, indooi'/outdoor swimming pools, exciting watei-slides, lllultiple indoor I'ock climbing walls, basketball/volleyball courts, racquotbail/squash courts, aerobics and cycling
studios, extensive free weight centei—plus special family lockei- rooms that provide added privacy and convenience for parents with opposite sex children.
And that's just the beginning, because very lew boundaries are placed on the array of services pi'ovided by Life Time Fitiless, as well. Members enjoy free childcare services, fix'e educational seminai's, free lockel-s, fi'eo towel service and free aerobic instruction. T'nnniilg, therapeutic massage and certified personal tl'aiilcrs are al.so available.
Furthermore, Life Time Fitness clubs are open 24-houi's a day, seven days a week to accoinillodate the busiest schedule. Adding to the superior level of service are a unique health food cafe and a full-service salon that offers a variety of hair, nail and spa services.
Thei-e is truly soilietlling for everyone witll everything under one I'onf
F i ' i e n d l y a n d i n v i t i n g Life Time Fitiless takes
cvei-y step necessary to ensui'e that all aspects of evei-y club ci'eate an envii'onment that is friendly alld inviting.
Eaeh inch of the physical facility I'cceives special consideration and the effect is evident the lnoment guests enter Color psychology, illulti-level lighting and el'gonomic design ai-e all employed to ci-eate an environlnent of uncompromising quality.
The colnpany also believes that for any cnvironlllent to be truly inviting, it must also be clean. As a result. Life Tilne Fitness has invested in unique technology that helps maintain immaculate facilities. Custolil-designed airflow systems carefully monitor coillposition and exchange air content up to four times pel' Iloui-. Automated sanitizing systellis l'elease a pi-essurized spray to keep shower rooins safe and spotless.
On a more personal level, every employee is required to complete a comprehensive ti'aining prograill—through the colllpany's Life Time Fitness University—in order to ensure friendly, professional conduct and superior service.
Another example of the company's dedication to creating an inviting environment is their policy of elilninating
long-term contracts and allowing menlbers to cancel a l any time.
"It kcejls ii.s on our toes," remarks ai'ea manager, Kevin Stegen, "It rejilly forces us lo deliver and earn your nleniber-shi|) every tinle you visit."

program wltll no long-tel'in coiltract and a low, one-tinle enrollnienl fee. "A one, two, or three year contract does nothing to protect the customer It just protects the company," claims y\kradi. "Most coilipa-nies with long-term contl-acts don't have any confidence in their jlroduct. At Life Time F'itness, quality is our conti'act. We make sure evei'y employee will make evei-y visit a jjlea-sure and earn your business every day that you're with us."
The company is so confident
in its commitment to customer sei-vice that they also offer a 30-day money-back guai'antee. This allows new membei's to fully experience the sports and fitness cent.ni' to make sui'e it fits their life.

Ash Gear will nlove the headquarters from Southfield to a new building in Novi. Conslrucllon is expected lo begin next month.
Ash Gear warehouses and distributes snlall gear parts and also performs some machine maintenance,
The company received final approval for a new 3.5,000 square fool office and warehouse from the Novi Planning Comnllssion June 10. The vote was unanimous. Commissioners Kim Capello, Robert Churella and Arthur Vrellas were absent,
"We looked around and wanted a good cily such as Novi and found a place that we liked," said Brad Jer-ris one of Ash Gear's owners.
The building is planned for 3.5-acres on the north side of Nine Nile Road, between Novi and Meadowbrook Roads and east of the railroad tracks. The size is double what they have in Southfield, Jerri s said,
"We need more room and everything that goes with il," he explained.
Ash Gear now has 25 employees, but Jerrls expects the numbers will grow once company moves to Novi.

Ihe lowiiship has no Icfjal rifilit Id slop Ihe school dislricl from bulkliii); Ihc new Noi-lhvllle High School, accui-dinf; lo a |ndge III Thiid Di'itrlet Wayne County Clr-(nil (>)ll)1.
.iiirlp' Kuthlccn MaeDoiiald (li'iiii'd Ihe lowiishlp's rpr|ii''' l for an in|iiin'tioii on the grounds lhat building Ihe school would not cause "Itiimediatc and irreparable Imriii."
•||ir case hinged on whether Ihe school sile had to be built aeeonl-lug lo local or stale zoning ordinances.
"V.'c'ie glad to have It behind us and giatilied thai the judge spoke about the school dislricl having a .' lioiig case," said school board l'icsi'!"iit -Joan Wadsworlli. "We're really h.uklng fonvard lo building Itic bnlldini; and finding ways lo
hack 1)11 Inick with Ihe Icnvn-•diip."
I.isl iiioiith, the seven-member i.'iiidivilh' Township Hoard voted imaiiiiiiously to give attorney Jim laiiim aulhoiily lo do "whalever u'.'s necessary" to make sure the (lislilcl I'ollov.'ed lownshi|) ordl-iiaiii IS when building the sciiool.
lie tiled a molion for a prellmi-iiaiy injtiiielloii lo stop eonslrtic-lion ol the rt50 million building.
l.lcloic the hearing dune 12 rese ilcnis of Ihe abulling stib(livl.sion Woeils of Kdciideny hired altorney !'nisan rtiedlaender to Join the suit.
OificialH I'or Ihe dislricl's arehi-Iccltiial hrni fanning & llowey, which h,is overseen some 700 school conslruelion projects Ihfotigliout Michigan and the Mid-wesl, said Ihey designed the school \mvi\ on slate re(|ulrements, as ie(|ulred by state law,
llowi^'ei, residents and township oltli iais disputed a soccer stadium slaked out wllhin 10 feel of nelgh-boniig backyard lot lines despite Ihe lownship's requirement of a :m loot setback. Also at odds with lo! .al rcr|uiremeilts was the slope of ;t slonii water detention pond and iciiioval of tree.s from the 48 acre |)ar( el loe.'lted on the north side of .Si.\ Mile Road between Sheldon and Heek.
School officials maintained they needed the athletic facility and thai nieeling township woodlands ordl-iKinces would cost too much money. They said tlley did eompro-nii.se otl many other issues with the township.
I They said the state regulates all aspects of the site plan of schools btiill in the state of Michigan,
diidge MacDonald agreed, "It Is clear that the sole and
e;;elusive Jurisdiction goes to the slate superintendent of schools. Based on that fact alone, yoilr rcrjuest for iiljunction Is denied," she said,
MacDonald oiled a recent opinion by state attorney general Frank Kelley that was based on the state's Revised School Code,
"The superintendent of public inslruetlon has sole and exclusive Jurisdiction over the review and approval of plans and speeiflca-lions for the eonstrucdon, reeon-slriielion, or reillodeling of school buildings used for instructional or non-liistruellonal school purposes and of site plails for those school buildings," tile school code slates,
Northville schools superinten-denl Leonard Reziniel\ski said he was pleased with MacDonald's dcelsioti.
"The eolirt has accepted the dls-Irlel's positioil," he said. "We should be seeing bulldozei-s and clear eutliiig this week."
Although the Judge said the wotditig of the ordinance leaves little room for another interpretation, the ease isn't necessarily over.
Tile township has the option to appeal. Officials will meet in a elosed-door session tonight to deckle on their next illove,
"My first reaction was let's talk as a board and see where we want to go with this. Either we control zoning or we don't. We Just need to know," said township trustee Mark Abbo. "We have an opportunity to decide wheth(;r to appeal or not. Regardless of that I hope the school board Is still willing to talk to some extent about the setback,"
Attorney Tamm maintained that the wording of the school code applies to the school building, but not the grounds around it,
"I would say that we're disappointed," Tamm said, "In our view there's a distJnctlon between construction and zoning and that's what we tried to impress upon the court. Judge MacDonald disagreed. 1 disagree with her decision,"
\nd Friedlaender said she will nleet with her clients from the Woods of Edenderry to discuss the ease. Because of governmental linmunity, it is unlikely that the residents could win any monetary compensation from the school district,
"I'm still stearailig over this." Friedlaender said. "The schools clearly aren't subject to the construction code. To say it also means the schools aren't subject to zoning laws means they could do anything.
"It could be your house next." The school is set to open in Ihe
fall of 2000.
Get pampered at Northville's Pamplemousse By WEf SDY WHITE Stall Wriler
Shameless indulgence has wafted Ils way Ink) Norlhville.
PampleiiiousBe al 116 E. Main Street, carries bath products from around the world.
"We really like people to come In and play, tiy everything, rela.x. We've created a real welcoming environment so peoi)le can enjoy themselves," said .Jane Williams, 27, who opened Ihe shop with her iiiolhen Ulura,
"We're really going for a spa-like atmosphere,"
The jjrodurts. like While Mulber-r\' hand cream ISIH] or Linn ilow-ei shaiiii.'on (.' 12..r'0! iih.v lu.- i a
few dollars more than drug store hrantLs "but It's really worth II lo splurge." Jane said,
For kids, Pamplemousse fthe French word Ibr 'graiK-fruit') carries soaps shaped like teddy bears, ducks, frogs and alligators imported fronl New Zealand,
There are plenty of things on Ihc shelves for men as well, like a Portuguese shaving set, heavenly almond shaving soap in a modern silver bowl or a trio of soaps eteat-et' f-;r pa t presidenls by Caswell-Massey, the third oldest eomi)any in America.
Pamplemousse also carries Oprah Winhey's favorite prodticis, lite lllornbuiy line from New
Zealand, wliich creates Tanlarlllo bathgel for SIO or grapefruit soap for $7,75.
Most of the products Pamplemousse carries can't be found anywhere else in Metro Detroil, they said, like the quirky Dcmeter sprays.
The fragrances mimic things found in nature, like Linden, Grass and Dirt,
"We thought it would be a fun thing, an attcnlion-getter, hut people ate really getting into it. It's Just a single note fragrance, evocalivc, scent being the nlosl evocative sense," Jane said.
The owners modeled the store after similar shops In New York
City, where Jane has lived for the last ten years,
"She approached me with the Idea last fall. In Februaiy, we went to trade shows aild I got excited too, 1 think It was destiny," Ulura said, "1 came hoilie from New York City and we went to lunch al Genitti's and saw the 'for lease' sign. Everything came together so well that we thought it was meant to he so we went for It."
For the past two monlhs. the mother-daughter team has worked non-stop to tear up carpel that was glued lo the lloor and replace It with llnlshed hardwood. Tlley also painted the walls while and designed a counter out of glass
bricks and marble. Fresh flowers arch toward the
celling from a clear glass vase and two yellow chairs offer a place for eustoiners to relax to the French rap or world nlusic filling the shop.
At the rear Is a door leading to a snlall room where the Willlarlls plan to lnake available $1-per-mlnute hand massages and pedicures,
"It's an excuse to take time out of your day Just to take eve of yourself I love to shop for these |hlngs. You take a half hour to think about what you might like," Jane said, "It'sjusl a personal liixun', But It's addictive."

One of the featured gai'dens on the nilh annual Gardens of Northville garden walk is Wendy Gutowski's Northville garden.Gutowski is a gardener fronl way back. Her nlnthcr was a gardener. Her fatller was a gardeiler. And her grandparents owned a farm in New HanliJshire.
Her childhood gardening experience didn't amount to a whole lot but it was a si art for the yard that came with the house she nloved into 12 years ago.
"I refer to my garden as a working garden." Gutowski said. "There's always work to be done."
She describes the yard she saw a dozen years ago "as an overgrown Jumble of Maple seedlings, Goldenrod and indescribable weeds,"
Over the course of clearing her yard to make way for gardens, Gutowski discovei-cd wonderful treasures.
"At one point someone had cared enough to planl Peonies, Tiger Lily, I rimrose and Spider-wort which have been illoved to happier homes in the yard," she said.
The rest, was practically a blank canvas. "I think it is in my blood," she said. "During the
course of working in my yard here I probably learned the most and had the opportunity to experiment the most."
Similar to a grandmother's backyard, Gutowski considers it a collector's garden.
"1 want one of each," she said. Gutowski started a spread sheet and discov
ered that she has over 200 species of plants. The more unusual include a Tulip from the 1620s, Hepatica, Rusty Foxglove, Wooly Foxglove, White Sage, variegated Jacob's Ladder and a Japanese Toad Lily. She also has a Jeffersonia Diphylla which she purchased from Monticello, in Virginia.
"(Jefferson) is one of my gardening idols," she said. "I think he was a collector as well because he wanted one of everything too."
Gutowski said her husband Bob, and their two children, Sarah, 17, and Phil, 15, are extremely tolerant of her obsession. She spends aboul 15 lo 20 hours a week in the garden beginning as soon as llle ground is thawed nlaybe in March, taking July and August off. and returning again in Septemher and October to clean things up and figure out what to do next year.
"It's kind of my spiritual connection." she said. Over 40 people have given Gutowski jjlants for
the yard over the years including friends and relatives. A few cherished items are cast concrete critters. Ailolher is her grandfather's 100 year old sprinkler from the New Hampshire farm she knew as a child.
"It is hypnotizing," she said. "It is wonderful." She also llas an authentic 19th century gazing
ball from Austria.
"11 channels the energy of the universe into ray liUle point on the globe," she said.
Although Gutowski considers her garden a work in progress, it has been included in the Country Garden Club of Northville's Fifth Annual Garden Walk which will be on Wednesday, July 15, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.ln.
Gutowski's garden is one of six on the tour. This year's selection includes a pool-side garden which illcorporates both shady and sunny conditions. East meets west in another garden influenced by Japanese landscaping and artifacts. Also included this year is an English cottage garden which has a hidden cove and a waterfall. Another garden has a shady brook which is a perfect setting for the wlldflowers that flourish there. Original birdhouses are scattered throughout another garden and Impeccably maintained lawiis and lush borders is the outstanding feature in a garden selected for this year's walk.
Tickets are $8 and may be purchased after June 15 from gardenviews, 202 Main Street, The Northville Chamber of Commerce, 195 Main Street, and Brainer's Greenhouse, 51701 Grand River in Wixom.

Grandparents go back to school A GroiA/ing Place in Novi presented the sixth annual Grand
parent's Tea in April. As each grandparent arrived, they
were given a tea pot shaped name tag made by the

grandparent, sat down with the children for storytime which
included "Five Little Monkeys with Nothing to Do." The
preschoolers put on a short show with songs, poems and a
show and tell. The preschoolers baked little tea cal(es which

Is this a film set or a party? W r i t e r / d i r e c t o r s Deborah
Kaplan and Harly Elfont sit eross-legf ed oi l the grass signlii(< a fletl-lious Huntiilglon Hills High yearbook featuring eharaclers fronl "Can't Hardly Walt,"
Uugh te r fills the eool night air as each erew member 'signs' the book and recalls his or her own angs t - f i l l ed adoleseence, when entire reputations hinged on eool clothes, clear sk in , and being a part of the right crowd. They reiili-nlsce about ilionientous parties like the one depicted in "Can't Hardly Wait"— a no-hoMs-barred bash l h a l brings the popularity kings and queens to their knees, illetamorphoses geeks into class heros, and proves, with the help of a litlle twist of fate, that nice guys don't always finish last, , ,all In a single, memorable night.
"Can't Hardly Wait" is the first production for Tall Trees Productions, headed by fllmtllakers Jenno
' Topping (executive producer of the upcoming "Doctor Dollllle" and co-producer of "The Brady B u n c h Movie") and Betty Thomas (director of "The Brady Bunch Movie," "Private Parts," and the upcoming "Doctor Dollllle"), Tall Trees prod u c t i o n s Joins forces wi th Columbia Pictures for "Can't Hardly Wai l , " written and direeled by first-time helniers Deborah Kaplan and Har iy Elfonl,
T h i s clever comedic drama—echoing such teen classics as "Say Anyth ing , " "Dazed and Confused ," and "Fast Times a l Ridgemonl High" —stars and energetic ensemble east i n c l u d i n g Ethan Erabry ("Thai T h i n g You Dol"), Charlie Korsmo ("Men Don't I.eave," "Hook"), Lauren Ambrosse ("In & Out"), Peter F a e i n e l l i ("Dancer," "Texas," "Pop, 81"), Selh Green ("Bufly The Vampire Slayer," "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery") and Jenn i fe r Love Hewitt ("Party of Five," "1 Know What You Did Last Summer"), with appearances by J e n n a El fn lan ("Dharma & Greg"), Jerry O'Con-nell ("Jerry Maguire," "Scream 2"), and Mel i s sa Joan Hart ("Sabrina The Teenage Witch"),
Now that the graduation ceremony is over a l Huntington Hills High, it's time for the real festlvi-
N o w that g r adua t i on ce remonies are over at H u n t i n g t o n H i l l s H i g h , the real fun b e g i n s for t h e s e teens at the g r a d u a t i o n party in the C o l u m b i a P i c t u r e s presenta t ion , "Can ' t Hardly Wait."
ties lo begin at the graduat ion party, where an assor tment of jocks, geeks, prom queens, bimbos, headbangers and misfits will unload four years' worth of emotional baggage.
Aspiring writer Preston Meyers (Embry) has been i n love wi th beautiful class knockout Amanda Becket t (Hewitt) s i n c e the first tinle he laid eyes on her during their freshman year.
His tormented infatuation with Amanda has Intensified throughout high school and culminates al the par ly , where Pres ton must now seize this final opportunity to proclaim his love for her before he leaves town for Bos ton the next day, Preston decided to make his move at some point du r ing the parly, a par t icular ly auspicious occasion since Amanda has just been dumped by her super-jock boyfriend, Mike Dexter (Faeinelli),
Mike broke up with his sweet Amanda so he could be free to pursue his leslosterone-eharged fantasies wilh college women.
Cringing a l this ludicrous love triangle Is Preston's introverted pal and confidante, Denise Fleming (Ambro,se), who stumbles into an unlikely romantic situation wi lh ex-childhood friend lurned "home-boy" Kenny Fisher (Green).
M e a n w h i l e , W i l l i a m L i c h t e r (Korsmo), a sci-fl lo\'ing, honor-roll geek, has genius plans to ru in Mike 's stud reputation and publicly humiliate him and his meat-head buddies—sweet revenge for four years of agony.
Also milling aboul are Yearbook Gir l (Hart), who desperately pleads with each guest lo sign her cherished volume of memories, and Gi r l Whose Party It Is, who must bear common hostess headaches like carpel stains, petty theft, and
lewd graffiti on the family portrait. Drawing from in f luences as
diverse as "The X Files" and Bar iy Manilow, these teenagers struggle lo make a slatemenl aboul their past,,,and plot their next irlove in an uncertain future,
"In the past several years, teen filirls have become so dark and angst-ridden," says Kap lan and Elfonl, who felt fortunate to have movies such as "Say A n y t h i n g " and "Fast T imes at R i d g e m o n l High"-both of which used humor as a key elenlent in portraying the true perils of growing up— to lnir-ror their real-life experiences when they were teens,
"Although this is a reali ty for some kids, i l 's not true for all of them. We wanted to deal w i l h something more t i n i v e r s a l i n "Can't Hardly Wall," because leen-themed films are changing,"

"That's del'inilely going lo help theiii ," Hanson said. "II lakes more than one or two years lo develop a player and we've had a strong J V progranl. I think lllal's whal has separated us froni Brighton. Millbrd and Hartland."
This year's llonieTown all-area firsl team e.xeiilpli-fies just how good iheseJV programs have become. Norlliville doiiiinales Ihc Icaiii with si.x lliglils while
Novi picks up Ihe olher Iwo. Here's a look al llonicTown's firsl team.

"I almost luid lo give him the most improved award ;igain," coach I)ick Norton sa id . "He has improved so iiuieli and he is looked upon by his leaillniales as being the most valuable player lo this team."
Matthias Eggel Northville senior E.ggel (lid evciylhing a coach could ask a player lo
do. except win a slale championship. Eggel linished the season 22-1. with his only loss coming lo Division II stale champion Rob Shump of Battle Creek
l.akeview. He was Ihe WLAA and regional champion and
defeated Novi's Glenn Gabriel Iwice. He shared the MVP awaixl with teainmale Thomson.
"He i ind Thoilison Ibrnied a greal 1-2 punch." Norton said. "He has a very solid game and is a veiy intense player. He went Ibr everj' hall thai was hit. He was a valuable addition to the team."
Dean Conway Northville freshtnan Conway provided solirl play and shiulcs of bril
liance ill his hrsl season at Nortllville, The freshman finished 19-6 and won a regional championship, avenging early-scasoil losses lo North i^ariiiingtoii's Steve Krieger. He made it to the finals of l l ieTroy-Alliens Invile and was a WLAA .seniil'inalisl.

By Julfe Kempainen If your scorecard needs a boost and the
pockelhonk needs a break, head lo Salem Township's Fo.x Mills Golf Club.
Fo.x Mills features three nines of vaiying degrees of dil'liciilly and llleme. The Woods soullds worse than it is and is the easiest of Ille three. The Hills is of moderate dil'li-eulty and Ihe Lakes is the most challenging of the three nines.
Fox Mills Golf Dii-ector said Ihe course is popular because it's playable for any level golfer.
"II is ver)' playable." Keller sai(i. "One ol' the reasons we have a lol of women come oul is because of Uie playnbilily and Ihe variety too. A lot of Ihe groups and leagues are out here because of the three ilines."
HomeTown Newspapers' golf course reviewers played Ihe Woods and the Lakes at Fox Hills and didn't meet any trouble until the fourth hole oil the Woods.
The 375-yard, par-4 is Ille tougllesi hole the Woods has to offer. Golfers hit blindly onto a dogleg left. To show how blindly, hitters are asked lo ring Ille bell on the
fairway lo signal when eveiyone has hit llieir second shot, alerting those teeing off it is .safe to do so.
Golfers can reach, and see. Ihe green with Iheir second shot. The green is at the bottom of a sloping hill aiicj is one of lew greens on the Woods that isn't guarrlcd by large biinkei's.
Many of the nine holes are guarded by deep bunkers, prodding most of Hie trouble on the course.
The bikes is a dilferent sloiy. providing sev'cral challenging holes.
The par-.3. 150-yarcl second hole is more like a day at the beach lhan the golf course. A small jlond must be cleared from the lee and you want lo be sure to hit Ihe green w i l h l h a l lee shot. Four large bunkers are scattered between the tee and the green and if your Ice shot isn't a good one, you'll pay for i l .
The si.xlh hole on Ihe Lakes is a 428-yard. par-4. The hole is quite lengthy and water comes into play just before Ihc green. A large pond is located left-center of the fairway, abou l GO-yards from Ihe greeil.
Saving the best for last, Ihe final two holes are the longest. Eight is a 47]-yard. par-5. The right sitie of the fainvay is lined wilh dense woods. 11' thal's nol enough, there is a large bunker that follows lo woods for 25-or-so yards.
The green is also heavily guarded by two large, deep bunkers, leaving a small opening lo the green. A front pin placement leaves a (liflicult shot as the hunkers have
high backs. After making il Ihrough the eighth
hole you're rewarded with another par-5. this one measuring 493 yards.
To the left of the klirway is a long row of lowering pines. To Ihe right, a large water hazard about 200 yards from the tee. Driws play uphill and the hole descends around the 150-yard marker.
Once again, Iwo deep bunkers protect the front of the green, which slopes uphill.
"II's a course lhat can be very enjoyable because of the playabilily." Keller said. "We have soille pretty good amenities too. 1 think a lol of people just really enjoy the variety too. I think that's why people coille back. The condition of Ule course is good for its class of course too."
Amenities include a full clubhouse and pro shop, as well as new earls for the 1998 season. Keller said rounds play fast at Fox Hills too.
"We watch the rates and we're pretty coillparable to Salem 1-fills, Brae-burn, Hilltop," Keller said. "We have the best senior rate you're probably going to find wilh a carl."
A senior can play !8 holes with a cart Ibr S l 8 before 12:30 p.m. Walking rales are $8 and $10 for nine and 18 holes, respectively.
There are changes in store for Fox Hills beginning this fall. Starting wilh one of the Ihr'ce nines at a l i i l le , the tees wil l he

bl-oughl up to dale. Nine holes will be done Iler }'car. "We're planning lo start renovation on the course in the fall," Keller said. "We'll work on Ille tees to bring them fronl the '203 lo the year 2000. We'll make the
tee positions a little more varied and bigger lo accommodate all of the use,"
The project is sel lo begin in tile fall and shouldn't interrupt play on the course. Cart path renovatloil is also in store.

We have had the honor of contributing to this health column for some t i i l le now, but the response for I n f o r m a t i o n and advire on the topic of F i b r o m y a l g i a over-whclmecl us, and far o u t w e i g h e d the response lo all of our other columns com-billed. So let us elaborate further on this very impor tan t and often misunderstood
condition. First of all, let us state clearly, we arc not
medical personnel and certainly do not pretend to be. We are, however, a person who has struggled with F i b r o m y a l g i a and Chron ic Fatigue Syndrome for over seven years, and now arthritis. And another who is a certified personal fitness instructor who has been in the fitness field for over 17 years and struggles with how to help his spouse and other people with this frustrating and painful syndrome. Wc have struggled through the books, seminars, doctor appointments, misdiagnosis, emotional and depression battles, pain, and the latest v i tamin , mineral and herbal super cures. Sometimes through the course of all this, like any other illness, you feel like you've become an expert.
A n estimated three to six million Americans may have symptonls of this Increasingly common Fibromyalgia Syndrome (PS), a chronic pa in disorder character ized by widespread musculoskeletal aches, stiffness and general fatigue (Krsnich-Shrlwise 1997). Mostly women a l an approximate Ratio of 20 to one are effected, wi lh a median age from 29 to 37 years, whereas the age of formal diagnosis is 34 to 54 years, (indicating that most patients endure symptoiils for several years before
receiving an appropriate diagnosis).. The stiffness and fatigue associated with FS has often been confused with rheumatoid arthritis [RA] and chronic fatigue immune deficient syndrome (CFIDS) i-espectivcly. In fad, according to Wolfe (1993). the current definition may not be Ihe best one because many pnlienis who meet the criteria for CFlDS only differ from the F S patient in the degree of pa in . (Gregory Welch MS. Fibromyalgia. What is it? Mow do we deal with it?)
Symptoms range fi'om aches and paints, stiffness, swelling of soft tissue, lender points, and muscle spasni or nodules to those relatiilg lo the nen'ous system, such as mood swings and depression. Concentration and even performance of sinlple nlenliil tasks can be difficult. Aboul 90 percent of those with FS also report moderate to severe fatigue with lack of energy, decreased exercise endurai lce , the kind of exhaustion associated with the llu or lack of sleep. Other related problems include migraine headaches, temporomandibular Joint dysfunct ion syndrome (TMJ), sleep disturbances, bowel and bladder irritability, among others.
The exact cause of FS is unknown, primarily due to the multifactorial features of this disease. While the most significant factors coil-t r ibu t ing to FS are loo involved to include here, they are as follows:
• sleep and pain disorders; • hormonal considerations: • traumatic occurrence and viral,onset; • sympathetic nervous system involvement
and histologic abnormalities; and • psychological factors. Unfortunately, there are no blood tests or x-
rays that can lead physicians to a clinical diagnosis of FS. In 1990. the American College of Rheumatoloty established the diagnosis as a his tory of widespread pain present in both sides of the body and above and below the waist, occurring for longer than three months in a combination with pain in 11 or more out
of 18 specified, tender points in muscular tissue ( F a n & B l a n t o n 1992).
Where to go with all this is certainly confusing. Obviously , a proper nledical (jlagnosis would be critical, more to rule out other possible conditions than to verify what most people already feci. A s varied as "the tecllnic|ues for treating the condition are, one variable, that in our research across the board has shown, is the proper activity, sleep, eating habits and positive altitude. As one client with FS staled. "Once the pain sets in and you succumb to the tendency to just sit, eventually wilh the muscle atrophy and weight gain, the condition becomes much more than FS."
Inability to sleep, often due to pain associated with FS. and interrupted sleep pallerns can cause a depletion in serotonin. When serotonin is depleted, there is a decrease in restorative R E M sleep and an increase in sonlatic conl-plaints, depression and perceived pain. (13ois-sevain 1991.) Talk to your physician regarding this c ruc ia l piece of the puzzle . Regarding activity, there are no set programs or routines for FS clients, but rather an understanding of what it is along with a few guidelines to apply. First, find exercise and health professionals thai have a good understanding of this condition, then follow these simple guidelines which include proper stretching and proper aerobic and anaerobic activity. Startiilg with as little as 3 lo 5 minutes of low impact activity a day and the proper strength training, again starling with a very light load and few repctilions. an individual prograill can be established. The bottom line is constant professional monitoring of the intensity necessary to achieve some Improvement without exacerbating the symptoms.

With the approach of warmer I weather, conscientious mothers
are beginning to r each for the sunscreen to protect their c h i l d ren from the s u n ' s damag ing ultraviolet rays. However, according to Kenneth Zaremski D.O. , a Botsford phys ic i an , p ro tec t ing your skin from the harmful effects of the sun is a lifelong challenge that should be part of the health routine for Individuals of all ages.
"In the short term, people need to guard against sunburn," says Dr, Zaremski. "Just as important, in the long term, protection fronl the sun will help you avoid sk in damage and even skin cancer."
Dr. Zaremski says that protecting s k i n from the s u n s h o u l d begin with a good sunscreen. The precise sun proteclion facior (or
SPF) depends on the individual's sun sensitivity since some people will burn in 20 minutes and others in 60 minu te s or longer. A sunscreen with SPF 4 allows four limes more s u n exposure before the skin burns, while SPF 15 theoretically mul t ip l i es "burn-free" time by 15. "Most people need at leas t a S P F 20 but a da rke r -skinned person may be able lo get by with SPF 12. Most at risk are individuals wi th fair sk in , blue eyes and light or red hair. They could need a higher SPF," Zaremski says. Use of drugs inc luding sulfa, tetracyclines, amoxicillin or oral contraceptives increase the skin's sensitivity lo the sun.
"Select a sunscreen that offers both UV-A and U V - B protection and reapply i t every couple of
hours based on your susceptibility to sunbulm and your level of aetiv-
. i l y , " Dr. Z a r e m s k i says. Heavy exercise, sweat and swimming can cu l a sunscreen's effectiveness. Dr. Zare l i l sk i recommends that consumers look for new products on the market that make us ing sunscreen easier and more effective. For instance, a spray-on sunscreen can be used lo protect the scalp. "This is helpful for babies, chi ldren w i l h fine ha i r and for older adults as the hair begins to thin," he says.
'The ears and the face generally receive the most sun exposure and sun protection should s l a r l there. Those are also the most frequent sites for skin cancer." says Dr. Zaremski . He notes that the back of the neck is another vul
nerable location that people often forget.
By far, the most serious effect of sun damage is sk in cancer. "Both
, the lolal amount of sun received over the years and overexposure tha t resu l t s i n s u n b u r n can increase the risk of skin cancer." says Dr. Zaremski. He emphasizes that there is no such thing as "a liltle sunburn" since each time the skin burns, the risk of developing cancer goes up. Young people can avoid lifelong cumulative effects of the sun by developillg good sun protection habits a l an early age.
