Lane to ease left-turn woes There is relief on the way for Canton residents who travel north on Canton Center Road and need to make a left turn onto Hanford Road. A new passing lane is planned.

BY J O A N N E MALISZEWSKI S T A F F W R I T E H

No doubt some motorists are un-happy they can ' t make left turns onto the new Hanfo rd Road extension, west from Can ton Center.

But Canton Townsh ip officials are doing someth ing about tha t — a pass ing lane.

" T h i s will be a great relief obvious-ly to those folks who travel north on Can ton Center and need to tu rn left a t Hanford . You really can ' t do t h a t at peak hours," said Township Su-pervisor Tom Yack.

T o w n s h i p trustees recently ap-proved the engineering design for a pass ing lane — by Finkbeiner, Pe t t i s

& St rout Ltd., Canton for $11,275. T h e company also designed the Han-ford Road extension.

" T h e board has made a commit-men t to th is ," said townsh ip engineer Tom Casari. "We will have to come u p with the money to bu i ld i t . "

Casari es t imates the pass ing lane, which will begin near Henderson Glass on Canton Center , and run about 75 feet past Hanford Road and taper for 150 feet, will cost about $60,000.

"We would like not to involve the county ," Yack said.

Two new bus inesses . Communi ty Federal Credit Union and an office building, which are not yet construct-ed, are expected to benefi t from the pass ing lane. T h e office building's owners, Casar i said, will be asked to help with some of the costs because it will have an ent rance onto Canton Center Road. T h e credit union will not.

T h e Hanford extension was buil t from Sunflower Village subdivision west to Can ton Center to provide eas-

Business aids Bosnian relief B Y J I L L H A L P I N S T A F F W R I T E R

With the Christmas holiday fast approaching, a Canton busi-nessman has decided to share in the spirit of the season by helping with the Bosnian relief effort.

"Of all of the times of the year, this is certainly the most suitable. The devastation in Bosnia is un-believable," said Robert Gardella, the owner of Midwest Moving and Storage at 8150 Ronda Drive in Canton.

Gardella donated time, space and money in an effort to help de-liver more than 18,000 pounds of new and used clothing to Bosnian refugee camps overseas.

The Canton business owner was first moved to action after speaking with Jane Seymour, a fellow member of a Livingston County Republican group.

Seymour had toured the war-torn countries and told Gardella of the need for a large-scale relief

effort. Aware that Gardella's com pany was an agent for a national trucking firm, she asked if he would be willing to help.

"There is a time for talking and a time for action. I felt this was a very important cause, you have to get involved and that's it," said Gardella.

He responded to Seymour's re-quest by setting aside a ware-house and tables to collect and sort the donations of clothing that were coming in from churches all over metro Detroit. He also donat-ed boxes and tape to help package the clothing, and even handled the loading of the truck. Gardella completed his good deed by pick ing up the tab for the transport of the clothing from Canton to At-lanta, Ga., Seymour said.

"He has been marvelous. He picked up the entire tab for ship-ping these things down to Georg-ia," she said, adding Gardella was instrumental to the success of the

clothing drive. The 450 boxes of clothes, which

included a donation of 20 cartons of new shoes from a Grand Rap-ids-area manufacturer, were to ar-rive in Atlanta and be loaded into a 40-foot overseas transport con-tainer and shipped out from Sa-vannah, Ga. Caritas, a nonprofit organization involved in the relief effort, will pay for the overseas transport of the clothing through donations.

Gardella is hopeful that the clothing will reach the refugees by Christmas.

"I t ' s good to get a chance to help out. The inhumanity that is going on over there is terrible. I hope we never have to go through that in our country," he said.

Although this is Gardella's first experience involving the Bosnian relief effort, he is already plan-ning for the future.

"I would like to see if we can do this twice a year or even more," he said.

Readers share stories of Christmas magic We asked our readers to provide

their memories of those special Christmases of years gone by. These stories are offered for your holiday enjoyment.

Christmas in Florida! No snow! An artificial tree! No way! That was probably

my first thought when my huB-band, Frank, and 1 began discuss-ing the possibility of packing up our two children, Kristen and Ste-phen. and driving down to Florida with Frank's sister, Karen, her husband, Rick, and their two chil-dren, Casey and Cody, to spend the holidays with my in-laws.

Frank's parents had moved to Florida seven to eight years earli-er and had been back to Michigan for one Christmas. They said nev-er again. They had gotten much too used to the warmer climate in Florida.

So it looked like if we wanted our children to spend the Christ-mas holidays with their grand-parents it was going to be up to us to make the plans and go to Flori-da.

Now don't get me wrong. I like Florida and love spending time with grandpa and grandma in Florida (since they had moved down there we averaged a visit there every 18 months). But I've always enjoyed Chris tmas in Michigan. Even when we weren't blessed with snow. I grew up in Canton and my father sold Christmas trees to many of the residents in the Plymouth-Can ton area for as long as I could re-member from various places in Plymouth and finally right out of our front and back yard.

And there's something to be said for waking up i a your own home on Christmas morning and watching the little ones come

down the stairs unable to contain themselves while dad gets the movie camera set up to film their first reaction to all that Santa left them.

But with much excitement and a little apprehension we loaded up our van and Karen and Rick s car with presents and luggage and headed for Florida one early De-cember morning amid the sleet and snow.

The memory of that Christmas is a bittersweet one. In order to spend Chris tmas with my father-in-law and mother-in-law, 1 had to leave behind my mother who was in a nursing home.

This was hard to do as I had never in my 37 years spent Christ-mas without my mother. And grandma had always been around to heap lots of toys upon my chil-dren. This year, however, she barely knew it was Christmas. Little did we all know that this would be the last Christmas for both my mother and my mother-in-law. Mar i lyn . They both passed away within three weeks of each other the following August/ September. My mother's death, not unexpected, was a relief, she was out of her pain from a brain tumor. Marilyn, however, died very unexpectedly in her sleep, at the young age of 62.

As 1 look back and remember that Chr is tmas and all we did to-gether as a family, shopping with grandma, going to the movies (the men took the boys to see "Star Trek" while Grandma. Karen and I took the two girls to see "My Girl." and especially Christmas Eve riding in the van to the Christmas Eve service singing Christmas carols, 1 now realize how blessed we were to be able to spend what turned out to be her last Chris tmas with my mother-

in-law. We could have missed all that

if we had stayed home to have a "White Christmas " Even though we didn't have a white Christmas, that Christmas showed me you can make Christmas whatever you want it to be no matter where you are. To our family, Christmas is being with family and friends, making happy memories and rejo-icing in God's love for us.

May we all look at Christmas each year and rejoice in the bless ings bestowed upon us (even if it means spending Christmas in Florida!)

P S. My father-in-law is coming up from Florida to spend Christ-mas with us this year! 1 suspect he too realizes how previous Christmas memories are since he is braving the cold to spend the holidays with family.

Frr>m Becky Krohn. Canton

Santa's special y favorite Christmas memory was one year when mom and dad told

us we had to go to bed. Dad was going bowling, so mom tucked us into bed. It was dark. Jus t as we were falling asleep my Mom woke us up and said. "Look out the window!" My sister and I went to the window.

There was frost on the window We had to wipe away the frost. We couldn't believe it. The snow was falling all around. Walking down the street was Santa Claus! He was bright as could be. The street light shone behind him He was ringing a bell. "Ho. ho. ho. Merry Christmas, he said.

Next thing we knew. Santa came to our house! We ran down the steps and opened the door He

had presents for each of the four of us. My sister and 1 each received a beautiful dress for church in the morning. Each of us sat on his lap as he asked us what we wanted for Christmas. He said we had been good children all year and that he would come back later in the evening.

We went back to bed. The next morning we went down the steps and saw a Christmas tree all dec-orated with sparkling lights! Un-der the tree was a 4-by-8 platform with a train running around the tree. Presents were everywhere!

It wasn't until years later that we heard the story that it was dad that dressed up as Santa Claus, visiting the neighbors' houses.

From Barbara Secord of Plymouth

Favorite dress

It 's Christmas Day. and all 1 can say . . . , is you made ray day, by again going out of

your way. My beautiful yellow dress is the

present I liked best. I will always remember this particular year. If I didn't get my yellow dress, 1 would have been in tears.

Jus t sitting around Christmas Eve. looking at the beautiful tree. Wondering what our gifts would l>e. hoping the yellow dress was there for me.

I didn't even know that you went out into the cold. Had the owner open the store, so that you could get in the door.

And what a delight to find, that the yellow dress was there and mine. I just have to thank you one more time, for a wonderful Christ-mas. and for you again being so very kind.

Insurance agents donate food to needy The Independent Insurance

Agents of Wayne County have de livered some 200 boxes of food to needy families in the Detroit met-ropolitan area.

More than 20 independent in-surance agencies and companies in Wayne County participated in the food drive. Included with each box of food was a smoke detector and battery.

The boxes of food were dropped off Thur sday and Friday at Timemaster Business Forms Inc. at 13000 Inkster Road in Redford Township.

The filled boxes were then de-livered by insurance agent volun-teers to local charities and dis-tributed to needy families during this week.

A spokesperson for the Inde-

pendent Insurance Agents of Wayne County said the food drive donation presents agents with the opportunity to help those within the community they serve.

"I t 's important that insurance agents demonstrate that their concerns are not limited to selling auto insurance, said Denise McHenry of Cambridge Un-

derwriters in Livonia.

McHenry added that the free smoke detectors are designed to increase the chances of early fire detection during th t holiday sea-son.

Anyone wishing to contribute boxes of non-perishable food items can contact McHenry at 525-2442.

Middle school students have holiday spirit to spare, share

Students at Pioneer Middle School have had the Christmas spirit since September, when they began raising money to make this holiday season a bright one for five families they adopted.

The students raised $2,500 at dances, and through sweat shirt sales, a Santa 's Workshop and "candygrams" sent to fellow stu-dents. They then shopped for toys, clothing, books and food, and organized and wrapped the gifts for delivery to the Salvation Army. Their colorful wrapping paper and bows were handmade.

"This is a Student Council ac-tivity we've done for eight years in a row," said teacher Karen Barks-dale, who worked with fellow teacher Sena Sherman on the project.

"The big thing we are really most proud of is tha t kids get a sense of doing for others in this age of me, me, me," said Barks-dale. "We like to focus on what we can do for others. Th i s really is a long-term project."

Many students have spent their own money on items for the fami-lies. she added. "I t makes them feel real good; and we feel real good." the teacher said. "We tell the kids that we know the stores make it sound like it 's the season for you, but it's the season for others."

Students have perfected the art of bartering and finding the best deal, Barksdale said. "One kid went to the manager and ex plained who the purchases were for, asking if she could do any bet-ter on the price. The manager knocked 10 percent off.

Building inspections part of planned township survey B Y J O A N N E M A L I S Z E W S K I STAFF WRITER

By the year's end, more than 600 residents in the Brookside subdivision will receive surveys asking about Canton Township ' s municipal and building services, and their general experience with township government.

"We're asking more than jus t bui lding ques t ions ," said Casey-Hans , township municipal ser-vices information coordinator.

T h e surveys were prompted at a meeting in October when mem-bers of the Homeowners Advisory Council voiced residents ' con-cerns about the then-proposed property s t anda rds ordinance.

At that t ime, advisory- council secretary J u d y Linna told town-sh ip t rus tees tha t residents in her Brookside subdivision had plenty of compla in ts about township in-spection services and quali ty of building.

"Enforce the ones (bui ld ing re-qu i rements ) we current ly have." said Linna when she offered op-posit ion to the proposed manda -tory pre-sale home inspect ions , which has now been t aken off the drawing board.

Brookside subdivis ion home-owners are the first who will be quest ioned about t ownsh ip ser-vices, par t icular ly m u n i c i p a l , bui lding and inspection services.

T h e survey also will ask resi-den t s their overall percept ions of township government, whether they have had contact with the municipal services d e p a r t m e n t , a n d what type of informat ion they need from the township.

The survey will fu r the r ask res-idents if they wish to par t ic ipa te in a focus group. H a n s sa id .

In the New Year, homeowners in new subdivisions will receive surveys, based on the townsh ip ' s list of certificates of occupancy. " I t will provide a chance to find out how homeowners are doing in the newly constructed subdivi-s ions ," Hans said. " I t will help spot problems with the bui lders and the new subdivis ions ."

Linna spoke u p in October when would-be home buyer J i m Miles of Georgia compla ined about his problems with Uniland Homes Inc. He criticized town-ship inspection services and told t r u s t e e s t h a t t h e i n s p e c t o r s should not be allowed to conduct inspect ions under any type of townsh ip -manda ted program.

"Th i s is ju s t my opinion, if you're going to let people who in-spected my house inspect other people's houses, you might as well let these people go and let an orangutan do it ." Miles said.

In October, Townsh ip Supervi-sor Tom Yack said the proposed mandatory pre-sale house inspec-t ions were on hold. He told trus-tees at the t ime that he wanted to wait to see how Publ ic Act 92, which goes into effect in January , plays out, as well as the effect of a recent Michigan Sup reme Court decision regarding sidewalks.

Public Act 92. known as the sellers disclosure act, requires home sellers to sign an affidavit a t tes t ing to the par t icular condi-tion of the house.

In mid-September , homeown-ers made it clear — through the advisory council Ixiard of direc-tors that they were opposed to the township 's pre-sale proposal.

Smoke detectors boost home safety

If you or members of your family could avoid certain^ dea th for an investment of $20 or less, would you pay the money? Sure, who wouldn ' t?

In 1992, more than 200 peo-ple died in fires. Many of those d e a t h s could have been pre-vented with the early warning of a smoke detector. For in-stance, one Michigan res ident had no way of knowing t h a t his Ch r i s tmas tree lights would overload the electrical out le ts . T h e house had no smoke de-tector to wake his sleeping family, even though a city ordi-nance requires one. As a result , the homeowner, his wife and their three children died of smoke inhalat ion.

Although smoke detectors play a key role in reduct ion of life and property loss, many people choose to ignore the ear-ly warnings that de tec tors can provide, AAA Michigan re-ports .

According to the Depar tment of S t a t e Police. Fire Marshal Division, in 1992 there were no fire detectors present in 62.3 percent of the res iden t ia l s t ruc ture fires which occurred in Michigan.

In an addi t ional 12.7 percent uf those fires, a detector was present , but did not operate.

'A p r o p e r l y m a i n t a i n e d smoke detector is the best pro tection in a home fire because it can give family members

about three m i n u t e s from the sound of the first a l a rm to get out safely before being over-come by smoke and gases," said AAA Michigan C o m m u n i t y Safety Services Manager Jerry Basch

Ba.seh added tha t two-thirds of all residential fires involving a fatalit> occur between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m., when occupan t s are likely to be sleeping.

Both a 1974 s ta te law and lo cal ordinances require smoke detectors in new homes, but usually they don ' t provide fur inspection. In many communi ties, local ord inances also re quire smoke detector checks whenever a home changes own-ership or undergoes a major home i m p r o v e m e n t . Check with your local fire or building depar tment for more specific information in your communi ty.

Fire d e p a r t m e n t s a n d other groups, such as AAA Michi-gan, spend a great deal of t ime and money to help educate people on smoke detectors . Hut unless lire safety inspect ions are made routinely, the instal lation of smoke detectors will not adequately protect home-owners and their famil ies .

Sometimes, tragedy inllu ences the sensi t ivi ty of an en-tire communi ty , according to AAA Michigan.

County car ordinance challenged B Y R A L P H R . E C H T I N A W STAFF WRITER

Wayne County commissioners were mad last Thursday when they learned of a letter from the county a t torney declaring a re-cently enacted county car ordi nance "void and unenforceable."

T h e ordinance, written by com-missioner T h a d d e u s McCotter , K Livonia, and enacted in Octo-ber by u n a n i m o u s vote, forbids fu tu re county elected officials and most senior s taffers from using county cars.

T h e ordinance also m a n d a t e s met iculous record keeping in re gard to county cars and makes it more difficult to buy luxury cars when economy cars will do.

Commiss ioners believe county Executive Edward McNamara is beh ind the opinion and wonder if he's trying to torpedo the ordi

nance. Wri t ten by county attorne> Pa

tricia Irving-Cwiek, the opinion says the car ordinance violates the separa t ion of power between legislative a n d executive branches of county government. Therefore, Irving-Cwiek concludes, the ordi-nance " represen t s an unlawful usurpa t ion of executive authori ty bv the legislative body of Wayne County ."

Commiss ioner Bryan Aniann, D Wayne, said that Irving-Cwiek "really t h i n k s she must be Judge (Richard) K a u f m a n . " the chief judge of Wayne County Circuit Court. A m a n n , who also repre-sents Can ton , noted that only a judge can s t r ike down a county or-dinance.

Commiss ion Vice Chair Kay Heard, D West land . who also rep-resents Garden City, said she

t h i n k s McNamara doesn ' t in tend to obey the ordinance.

"What it looks like to me is t h a t they're jus t going to ignore i t , " she said. "They th ink they're above the law, which is sad. It re-ally i s ."

McNamara , who was unavaila-ble for comment last week, coo-pera ted with McCotter , whose d is t r ic t includes P lymouth and Northvil le, when the ordinance was being written last summer . Two McNamara aides. Dave Katz and Bob Biga, worked directly with McCotter on the ordinance.

"We worked on th i s for about five months with these guys," McCot te r said. "They had input the whole way."

McCot ter stressed, however, tha t he 's not worried. " T h i s changes nothing," he said. "They h a v e to implement the law."

^ C o m m i s s i o n e r M i c h e l l e Plawecki, D-Dearborn Heights , who also represen ts Redford Townsh ip and Livonia east of M i d d l e b e i t , a g r e e d w i t h McCotter . " W e thought th i s o*di-nance was a good example of how t h e b r a n c h e s of g o v e r n m e n t should work together," she said.

M c N a m a r a ' s chief deputy, Mi-chael Duggan, did not return t h e Observer 's phone call regarding th i s issue by press time.

T h e commission decided t h a t an ordinance regarding county cars was needed af ter an aud i t of county cars was completed in June . T h e audi t report concluded t h a t record keeping in regard to county cars was sloppy and t h a t somet imes depar tments bought fancy vehicles when more a u s t e r e models would have done the s a m e job.

Church musicians share sounds of the season B Y J I . ' L I E B R O W N STAFF W U T U

Bright ly-wrapped presents are nice to get, but mus ic ians at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church prefer to offer the gift of music to concert-goers .

" I t ' s our gift to the communi-ty , " sa id Dr. Michele Johns , di-rector of music at the Catholic-c h u r c h in P lymouth . " I t ' s called ' C h r i s t m a s Collage.' It pul ls our own c o m m u n i t y together, working o n a pro jec t . "

T h e a n n u a l concert was pre-sentee! the evening of Thu r sday , Dec . 9, at the church. T h e t radi-t ion s t a r t ed in 1985, with about 50 mus ic i ans performing tha t yea r .

" I t ' s a lways bigger because we keep having more people in-volved. T h i s year, it 's over 200," sa id Johns , who's on the music-facul ty at the University of Mich igan, where she teaches organ a n d

church music. T h e recent concert featured six

bell choirs, two chi ldren 's choirs with a combined membersh ip of more than 100 youngsters, the par i sh folk group and the par ish choir. A choir for men and boys, formed last year with more than 40 current members, also per-formed.

Typical ly, the yule concert at-t rac t s about 500 people, including some from the communi ty who d o n ' t worship at Our Lady of Good Counsel, said Johns , who earned a doctorate in organ music f rom U-M. T h e Rev. J o h n Sulli-van, pastor of the church, narra t -ed the concert, as he did last year.

" H e loves children, so th i s is ju s t right up his alley." T h e con-cert featured a variety of holiday selections.

" I t ' s all pretty familiar Christ-m a s s tuff ," she said. A team of music directors from the par ish met in the summer t ime to d i scuss

possible selections. " W e see the s t rengths of our groups. '

Rehearsals t>egan in earnest in October, with mus ic ians pu t t ing in many hours to polish their hol-iday performance. Solois ts are featured each year; th i s year, four boy sopranos performed a portion of the "Mess iah . '

"They ' re terrific at i t ," J o h n s said of the four s ixth-grade musi-cians.

T h e concert gives audience members a chance to sing such fa-miliar carols as "S i l en t Night each year. In fact, th i s year ' s con-cert ended with aud ience mem-bers lighting candles and singing t h a t song.

" I t ' s real pretty once everybody gets those candles l ighted. We al ways add Chr i s tmas carols and have everybody sing between the numbers the choirs s ing ." J o h n s said. " I t ' s fun to sing Chr i s tmas carols, and people don ' t have very much opportuni ty anymore . "

• Typically, the yule concert attracts about 500 people, including some from the com-munity who don't wor-ship at Our Lady of Good Counsel. The Rev. John Sullivan, pastor of the church, narrated the concert.

In recent years, Omnicom has taped the concert and shown it on local access cable TV. Parish m e m b e r s have gone th rough t ra in ing at Omnicom, so they are able to handle the tap ing dut ies .

Music-lovers have the opportu-nity to see the concert on TV, but lhat doesn ' t mean the parish mu-sicians plan to give u p their holi-

People have it to look forward to t ha t wav," J o h n s said.

Plymouth duo BY S U E B U C K STAFF WRITE*

Wanted: Open-minded, fun-loving famil ies who enjoy teens and internat ional cultures. Per-sons don ' t need to have chi ldren living at home.

Volunteers Lynn and Gideon Levenbach, of Plymouth, art-looking for you.

Host famil ies are needed for high school s tuden t s from foreign countries.

These teenagers, ages 15-17, will be here from mid-January to mid-June and will will a t t end the host fami ly ' s public school.

" T h e y are eager to learn as much as possible in five m o n t h s about life and customs in the

United Sta tes ," said Lynn Leven-bach, a placement coordinator.

" In return, they 'd like to share their cul tures from their home-lands with their host family and American f r iends ." she said.

The Levenbachs dona te t ime to two non-profit agencies: World Learning (formerly Exper iment in Internat ional Learning, which started in the 1960s) and Ameri can Inst i tute for Foreign Studies.

Foreign countr ies represented include Argentina, Peru , Colum-bia, Brazil, Germany and Poland.

The couple e s t ima te they have placed 80 s tuden t s .

For more informat ion, call 453-8562 or 453-6851.

Lynn works as a transcription-

ist for Citizen Insurance in Livo-nia and Gideon is a management consu l tan t .

All of the exchange s tuden t s have s tudied English for at least three years, have full medical and l iabi l i ty i n su rance and have enough money to cover their per-sonal expenses.

S t u d e n t s receive a c a d e m i c credit , on a case by case basis , for s tud ies done in the United Sta tes . Lynn said. S tuden t s from Brazil and Spa in always receive credit, she said.

"Every high school has a quota of how many exchange s tuden t s they will accept into a school," Levenbach said.

In addi t ion to finding host fam-

ilies, the Levenbachs keep track of which high schools have space for more s tuden t s . Some schools don ' t want second semester stu-dents , she said.

Levenbach also strives to clear a w a y s o m e c o m m o n l y he ld misconcept ions . Exchange stu-den t s are also welcome in private schools. T h e s tuden t pays for his own tui t ion. Tu i t ion is not the re-sponsibi l i ty of the host families.

A G e r m a n female s tudent has made a special request to a t tend Ladywood, Levenbach said.

Number of kids killed in fires rises Children younger than 10 ac-

counted for 41 percent of Michi-gan 's fire dea ths in 1992, a 7-per-cent increase from the previous year.

"Chi ldren need to know the sound of a smoke detector and what the proper reactions are for fire emergencies ." said Jerry Basch. AAA Michigan Communi-ty Safety Services manager.

" W e are working with fire de-p a r t m e n t s to reduce casual t ies by conduct ing school safety pro-grams for kindergarten through sixth-grade s tudents , ' he said.

Resu l t s of AAA Michigan-con-ducted research indicated tha t to escape fires children were often crawling under l>eds and hiding in toy b ins instead of independent ly

making their escape. "We realized that we had to

teach children how to help them-selves," Basch said.

So, AAA developed a school as-sembly program that teaches five impor tan t concepts: • Be sure there are two exits from every room. Children need to know how to unlock doors as the first choice, and learn a second emergency exit, as well. • Chi ldren should know to touch a closed bedroom door with the back of the hand and feel for heat to de te rmine if there is a hallway-fire. T h e back of the hand is more sensi t ive t h a n the palm. A burned palm would impede progress. • Crawl low under smoke. Toxic gases -- produced by burning syn-

the t i c s in carpet, counter tops , upho l s t e ry -- rise with smoke. T h e air closer to the floor is less toxic a n d cooler. • Have a pre determined, safe, family meeting place outs ide the home. • S top , drop and roll. In the un-likely event that children find the i r clothes on fire, they are in-s t ruc ted to immediately stop, d rop to the ground and roll to s m o t h e r flames.

T o reinforce these concepts , AAA safety education consu l t an t s visit schools throughout the s la te a n d help children act out the s teps . A smoke chamber s imu lates smoke and f lames triggering a smoke detector. A cot and door recreate a child's bedroom. ( hil

dren have the opportuni ty to rdl! off the cot, crawl under the " s m o k e " (a dark cloth billowed low to the ground with the help of c lassmates) and make it to the door to touch it to determine saf«-exit.

After t h e presentat ion, each s tuden t is given a take-home re-minder for his or her parents . T h e letter describes what was learned and gives valuable suggest ions. For example, parents are asked to hold practice drills with all fami ly members .

It also reminds paren ts to check smoke detectors regularly S tud ies indicate that nearly two-th i rds of battery smoke detec tors are inoperable due to dead or re-moved batteries.

of cases is growing. "1 think that instead of getting better it's get-ting worse. Informally I've heard numbers that say they're not in good shape at all."

Three Observer phone calls to Recorder's Court administrator George Gish in the last three weeks have not been returned. Chief Recorder's Court Judge Dalton Roberson didn't return a phone call Friday.

tating Circuit Court judges who help try criminal cases. In the re-cent experiment, eight additional

circuit judges completed 493 Re-corder's Court cases in less than four months. Talbot said that

Roberson had promised to make administrative changes to speed up the process. It 's unknown if that has occurred.

The circuit judges who heard all these cases are William Caha lan , Michael Ca l lahan , Richard Hathaway, Susan Reike N'eilson, James Rashid, Michael Stacey. Edward Thomas and An-drea Ferrara.

Kaufman said that only the Circuit Court's efficient process-ing of civil cases made it possible

to cut eight judges loose for this special duty.

In 1985 Wayne County Circuit Court had more than 17,000 civil cases that had been pending more than two years, Kaufman said. Recently there were 194.

The adminis t ra t ion system Wayne County Circuit Court uses to process civil cases has been "adopted exactly" by the Wash-ington, D C. Circuit Court and the St. Louis County Circuit Court, Kaufman said.

Reaching out Cheer Club's cheerful givers brighten holiday

Christmas Cheer Club donations this year helped the Salvation Army help needy people in the Plymouth-Canton community. This is the third year for the Ob-server's Cheer Club.

From Monday through Wednesday this week, the Plymouth Salvation Army distributed to the needy items collected by the Plymouth and Can-ton Observer Chris tmas Cheer Club and by other community groups.

Salvation Army corps commander Lt. Jeffrey Beachum said that while the distribution of toys and food — along with coats and mittens — was mainly wrapped up on Wednesday, "On Thursday and Friday we'll be having stragglers who didn't realize what was going on coming in."

Beachum said the number of dona-tions compares well with previous years.

"We're very surprised and pleased with the number of toys, we've got turkeys coming out of our ears and a good supply of coats and canned goods are coming in pretty good," Beachum said.

"I t 's going well especially for the (slow) start we had," he said.

Parents from families getting help from the Salvation Army go to the Plymouth distribution center and pick out items including toys their children might like.

"We try to have the parents give Christmas to their kids, they don't need to know it 's the Salvation Army," Beachum said.

"If they do bring in kids we try to keep them busy in another part of the building," he said.

Plymouth Salvation Army office manager Linda Spilos said that for Plymouth, Canton and Northville — the area they serve — the kettle drive has netted $71,848.

"I t looks like the kettles might fall short," Spilos said, of the amount col-lected last year.

Yet, $94,220 has been collected locally through direct mail appeals. Combined with the kettle collection, "We might make our total goal," Bhe said.

Spilos reported that the Adopt-A-Family program is serving around 400 families, up from about 350 last year.

Last-minute donors can drop off checks by 1 p.m. Christmas Eve at the Salvation Army office, 9451 S. Main across from Silverman's Res-taurant , or put money in kettles until 2 p.m. Christmas Eve.

We at the Observer want to send out a big "Thank You" to the 130 contributors who filled our office with donated toys, canned goods and boxed food. You made the third year of our Christmas Cheer Club the big-gest yet.

Plymouth fights railroad crossing bill B Y K E V I N B R O W N STAFF W a r r e n

City officials a n d Rep. Jerry Vorva, R-Plymouth , are rallying suppor t in hopes of derai l ing an effort by railroad companies to ex-tend the t ime t r a ins can block street crossings.

A bill to increase tha t t ime to seven minutes was debated in the s ta te House on Thu r sday and Fri-day. On Monday, Vorva told city commissioners a vote on the bill could come in the next week or two, or more likely af ter the s ta te Legislature resolves the school fi-nancing issue.

On Thursday , Vorva failed to win enough suppor t for two a m e n d m e n t s to the bill tha t

would benefi t the city of Plym-outh.

T h e first would have kept the maximum t ime t ra ins can block crossings to five minutes . T h e second a m e n d m e n t would have removed a provision sought by the railroads.

T h a t provision requires a mun-icipality tha t fines railroads for blocking crossings to put collect-ed fines in a fund . T h a t fund would be ea rmarked for fu tu re grade improvements . City offi-cials reject t h i s provision, saying the rai lroads shou ldn ' t be allowed to tell the city wha t to do with its money.

T h e a m e n d m e n t to scrap that provision failed by jus t eight

votes. But city officials and Vorva say they'll try to lobby s ta te legis-lators to get the votes necessary to win approval for the a m e n d m e n t — if Vorva is allowed to bring it u p again.

" W e want to str ike the fund idea al together ," said Vorva, who with city a t torney Ron Lowe pre-sented an upda te on the activity in the s ta te House.

Lowe, who testified before the House Transpor ta t ion Commit tee in recent weeks, told city commis-sioners the city was fo r tuna te to win a compromise t h a t extended the t ime the railroad can block a crossing to seven minutes .

T h a t ' s because there was much suppor t for the t ime l imit origi-

nal ly proposed. 10 minutes , he s a i d .

Commiss ioner Robert J o n e s asked what is driving legislators to suppor t the railroads on the is-sue. Vorva said the railroads had won po in t s with the House Re-p u b l i c a n Caucus in saying Michi-gan law is more restrictive on rail-roads t h a n law in other s ta tes , a n d restrictions hurt the rail-road 's abi l i ty to do business.

" R o n and 1 said the rai l roads are a very important service," Vorva said, "bu t it 's i ncumben t on t h e m to be good neighbors a lso."

City commissioners now have a list of legislators who voted no on t h e a m e n d m e n t s proposed by

Vorva. "Look at tha t list of no voters and see if there ' s anyone you know you can contac t , " May-or Doug Miller urged.

Lowe said his a rgumen t — tha t restr ict ions on how a municipal i -ty can earmark railroad fines take away from its home rule autono-my — "is playing well" among some legislators.

T h e action in the s late Legisla-ture follows a 1992 suit by CSX Transpor ta t ion Inc. against the city of Plymouth for levying fines when trains block crossings for more than five minutes .

T h e suit is await ing resolution in federal court.

A n o t h e r a d v a n t a g e is t h a t t h e money would s t ay in t h e c o m m u n i t y whe re d rugs are a prob-lem.

S o m e t roops who have been around awhi le — two or more t e r m s — are un-h a p p y t h a t many f r e s h m e n voted for S B 1. t h e $6.9 bi l l ion school property-tax cu t , a n d aga ins t r ep l acemen t taxes.

Rep . J a n Dolan , R - F a r m i n g t o n Hil ls , s t ud ied t h e roll cal ls . Her chart shows how everyone vo ted on S B 1 and five replacement t axes ( income tax, s ingle b u s i n e s s t ax . real e s t a t e t ransfer a n d two proper ty t axes ) . " I t ' s interest-ing to see who voted for S B 1 a n d wher voted to keep schools o p e n , " she said. Of t h o s e who voted a g a i n s t the replace-m e n t taxes , she sa id , " T h e y mus t be-lieve in the too th fa i ry . "

T i m Skub ick . d e a n of t h e Capitol co r re sponden t s , took D o l a n ' s side, accus ing the o t h e r s ide of "prof i les in hypocr isy ."

sl ide, t he re is no hope t h a t c r ime wili somehow magica l ly go away, or even s u b s i d e .

T h e r e is a n o t h e r s igni f icant aspec t to the ex i s t ence of the u n u s u a l high rate of c r ime wi th in our society.

Maybe t h a t is why for many yea r s now we have been h e a r i n g f rom W a s h i n g t o n pol i t ic ians how they are a g a i n s t c r ime, how they are enac t -ing s u p p o s e d l y an t i -c r ime legis la t ion to show s o m e t h i n g is be ing d o n e b u t , a s we can see, not m u c h good c a m e f rom it all.

W h a t n e e d s to be d o n e is to return t h e society to decen t , o ld - f a sh ioned mora l p r inc ip le s ; above all. not to allow t h e i n d o c t r i n a t i o n of our people in t h e ways of c r ime , pervers ion, a n d o the r i m m o r a l behav io r t h rough l i t e ra tu re , te levis ion, a n d o ther media . However , being realistic, we canno t expect m u c h he lp in t h i s f rom our government , which is n e i t h e r willing, capab le , or even a l lowed by the powerful forces of an t i soc ia l mora l i t y to rectify t h e s i tua -t ion .

I t s e e m s g o v e r n m e n t is ne i t he r will-ing, nor capab le , nor even al lowed by t h e powerfu l forces of an t i - soc ia l mo-r a l i t y to rect ify t h e s i t ua t ion in a m e a n i n g f u l way.

Cha-Ching! Oakland registers record 189-107 victory over Madonna

It was a night to forget for Madonna University and a night to remember for Oakland University. Several scoring records were established as the two teams combined for 296 points in a college men's basketball game.

BY CH R I S MC CO S K Y S T A F F W a r r e a

Here's why a first-year Division 111 basketball team should never, under any circumstances, schedule a game against an established, Division II team: Madonna University scored 10. points Monday against Division II Oakland University — and lost by 82. 189-107.

How bad was it? Check it out: • Oakland scored 91 points in the first half. 98 in the second. It scored in 85 of its 124 possessions. And the team was playing without two of its top three scorers (Tom Eller, 23 points per game, and Ty McGregor. 13). , . . • Eight Pioneers had career-high scoring nights, three of them set their marks by halftime. • Nine of the team's 11 players scored in double figures. • Nine team records were set includ-ing: points in a game, points in a half, victory margin, field goals made (63), 3-pointers made (27) and rebounds (83).

How bad was it? With just four sec-onds remaining in the first half, Oak-land was set to inbound the ball from underneath Madonna's basket The-Madonna gym was silent. Coach Greg Kampe stood up and yelled, •'One to Buza, one to Buza." Everybody in the gym knew the ball was going to No. 22. Dan Buza.

Everyone except the Crusaders. The ball was inbounded and fed in-side to Buza for an uncontested layup.

That was basically the game story. Everything OU did went virtually un-contested. The Pioneers attempted 57 triples, yet throughout the game they were left free on the perimeter. No wonder they hit 27 of them.

"I know a lot of people are going to wonder if we ran up the score," said Kampe. whose team stunned Divi-sion 1 Toledo by 21 points Saturday night. "But I don't think so. They scored 98 points in a half. That s something these kids are going to talk about the rest of their lives. They'll be talking about it at their 50th re-union. 1 subbed as much as I could. The guys that were in there hadn't played much this year, but they work hard in practice. 1 can't tell them not to play. That wouldn't be fair to them."

No, Kampe would have had to re-move his team from the floor to keep the score down. The more relevant question would be, why? Why would Madonna schedule such an opponent in its own gym'1

Madonna coach Bill Sharpe would lie the guy to answer that question, but he wasn't talking.

"We got our butts kicked and 1 don't have anything to say," he said. "I 'm done, I'm not talking.

Kampe said he accepted the game as a favor to Sharpe.

"He's a friend of mine and he was having trouble getting people to play him here," Kampe said. "We just worked it out where I'll play here and

Ocelot calls North Pole home BY C.J. R I S A K S T A F F W R I T K K

You'd think opponents would be * bit nicer to Jennifer Samson, particu-larly at this time of year.

You'd think they'd give her a gift or two . . . a couple of baskets (not the kind filled with fruit, either), a few uncontested rebounds, something like that.

After all. she's in good standing. She must be.

And opponents should realize it can only be advantageous, knowing someone on the inside — right ?

Well, it hasn' t worked out like that at all for Samson. And in the second half of Schoolcraft College's basket-ball season, she'd like nothing more than to deliver, in person, the conse-quences for being naughty instead of nice.

No toys for you, not after the way you treated Samson on the court through SC's first 10 games. And be-lieve me, she's in prime position to make good on her threats.

She is. after all, from the North Pole.

It 's true. Really. Samson can prove it, and has. on more than one occa sion.

""Even in Alaska, people wouldn't believe me," she said. "They just laughed. 1 had to show them my driv-er's license."

Samson graduated from — where e|Se-> _ North Pole High, located in

BILL BRRSI-KK STAI PMOTIK.KAP'HEH

S'no joke: Schoolcraft College basketball player Jennifer Samson is too tall to be an elf but she's from Santa s neigh-borhood: North Pole High School in Alaska.

North Pole, a small town situated (contrary to popular belief) 20 min-utes outside of Fairbanks.

She moved there nine years ago with her family.jHer father, an elec-trical engineer, decided to relocate for a good reason: "He could make more money." said Samson. He now owns his own business.

The differences between Michigan and Alaska are like night and day — at times, quite literally so. Ves, win-ter lasts from October until May, and it is '.-old. Samson said Michigan winters seem so mild to her, she s tempted to unpack her shorts.

But there's also that night and day thing. Because Fairbanks is located

so close to the Arctic Circle, the win ter solstice allows only a few hours of daylight. "When you go to school it's dark, and when you come home it s dark." she said.

But in contrast, the summer sol slice is a joy — nearly 20 hours of sunlight. And, according to Samson, the weather is mild, with tempera tures comparable to Michigan s in summer.

So what led Samson back to Michi-gan and, ultimately, to Schoolcraft's basketball team? "It 's so isolated up there," she said. "You end up seeing the same people, over and over again."

Her grandparents still reside in Brighton, where she lived prior U> Alaska, so she came back here after graduating from North Pole HS. She enrolled at Central Michigan, where she met current teammaU- lândra Hoffman, a Livonia Clarenceville graduate.

At CMU. they shared a common in-terest: "She was the only one who wanted to piay basketball all the time, like me." said Samson. When they came back to the metro-Detroit area last sun- ner, they started mak-ing weekly tr as to the open gym at Schoolcraft. That ' s where SC worn en's coach Jack Grenan spotted them

The rest, as they say, is history'.

Cooley escapes Wayne in OT gem, 72-69 BY BR A D EM O N S STAFF WRJTTK

When Sylvester Dotson's number 52 was detect ed as being omitted from the official score book for Detroit Cooley. referee Angelo Gust was in the pro-cess of awarding a technical free throw to Wayne Memorial

But Wayne coach Chuck Henry, showing the true Christmas spirit, told Guat that he did not want the foul shot. Gust then had Dotson's name en-tered and waived the 6-foot-61^ Cooley sophomore center into the game as a sub without penalty.

The potential point loomed large later on aa the Cardinals beat Wayne in overtime. 72-69

But Henry, who treated hia opponents to a pi**a party afterward, said he would have done it all over again.

"We wanted things to go right tonight, he said. "It 'a something I choae not to do and 1 really don t regret it. I wanted the game to get off right and end right-"

A lot of good things happened in between as fans were treated to a fast-paced game between two of the state 's top 10-ranked teams in Claaa A.

Wayne, which suffered ita first loaa in five games, battled back from a eight-point third quarter defi

cit to send the game into overtime A steal and layup by Courtney Howard with 36

seconds to go in regulation followed with a drive by Gerald Adams with 17 seconds left tied the game at 65-all.

But point-guard Brian Williams, the only senior starter for Cooley, went to work in the three-minute extra session, scoring five of his seven points to secure the victory.

Dotson's block of Lorenzo Guess three-point at-tempt from the corner as time expired sealed the victory for Cooley.

Tramaile Bullock led Cooley (2 1 overall) with a game-high 22 pointa. Dotson added 15, while Dawon Hale and Brian Ponder contribute*! 12 and 11, respectively.

Guess, a 6-3 freshman, led the Zebras with 18

^ A d a m s , the senior point-guard, added 16. Rod Hardiaon. who heated up in the second half, acored 11 of his 13 to help erase a 36-26 deficit at interims sion.

Wayne got back into the game using a full-court

; P "They (Cooley) are a clever basketball team." Henry said. "You're not sure you can be effective,

. - I

but the press was our last option. We were for-tunate because the refs let it go. We were able to bang them and get some steals

Cooley coach Ben Kelso was glad to come away with the victory.

"We've played each other so many times that you can't fool anyone," Cooley coach Ben Kelso sai<f "We were very lucky to get the ball at the end when we did Wayne did a very good job They shot well, and we were doing a pretty good job of guarding them They had a good game plan

Cooley shot 50 percent from the floor (32 of 64). while Wayne was slightly lower at 46.8 percent (30 of 64).

Wayne committed 19 turnovers, while Cooley

had 21. "I 'm disappointed we didn't win. but w e w e

can improve by watching this videotape. Henry said. "It waa a good game for us to p l a y O u r league (Mega Red Division) ia really tough with teams like Belleville, Monroe. Woodhaven and (Dear born) Fordaon coming up. For us to win we have to beat a good basketball team like Cooley.

LOOKING AHEAD

What to watch for in Entertainment next week:

• Meet Charles Busch, star of the musical "Little Me" now playing at the Birmingham Theatre.

• Find out what 's new at the movies

• Put on your dancing shoes, sharpen your skates, gather family, friends for a fun-filled, affordable New Year's Eve at First Night in Birmingham. B Y K E E L Y W Y G O N I K STAFF WRITER

In ancient times, and even now, New Year's Eve is a time of reflection of the year gone by, and re-solve to make the

new year better. Old traditions like sitting around a bonfire telling stories and writing down New Year's resolu-tions, and new traditions like spend-ing an evening with family and friends enjoying top-name local enter-tainment in an alcohol-free setting are what makes First Night in Bir-mingham a New Year's Eve to re-member. This year's headline acts at the fourth annual celebration of the arts, include Carvin and Michael of the Grammy Award-winning Winans.

"You have to come experience it," said First Night producer Jill Riddle. "The weather can be cold, but you forget it, and get caught up in all the wonderful performances. The down-town setting is beautiful, all the trees are lit up, it's a wonderful reprieve."

During the First Night celebration, which begins 4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 31, and concludes at midnight in Shain Park with a countdown to 1994, downtown Birmingham churches, community centers and schools host a variety of entertainment.

"People will start gathering in Shain Park around 11 p.m. At 11:45 p.m Pat Roan Judd will say the fare-well benediction for 1993. We'll her-ald the new year with the Trinidad Steel Band, dancing in the park, spe-cial effects, and a surprise."

Admission is $7 per person, the price of a First Night button, which allows patrons access to all events. Children under 5 are free, and chil-dren 12 and under must be accompa-nied by an adult.

Buttons can be purchased until 3 p.m. New Year's Eve at participating Birmingham/Bloomfield locations in

PREVIEW

eluding Crowleys, Jacobson's Wom-en's Apparel Store, Birmingham Ice Arena and City Hall.

After 3 p.m. on New Year's Eve, First Night buttons can be purchased at the Celebration Center on the cor-ner of Pierce and Merrill, Seaholm High School, 2436 Lincoln; First Presbyterian, 1669 West Maple, and First United Methodist Church, 1589 West Maple.

Helping defray the cost of the cele-bration are over 30 corporate spon-sors. "I t 's so affordable." said Riddle. "Whether you go to one show, or stay all night. If we didn't have corporate sponsors, the cost would be about $45 or $50 per person."

Volunteers are also a critical part of the event's success. Last year, over 300 people volunteered to help with First Night. For more information about becoming a sponsor or volun-teer for First Night, or about button sale locations, call 540-6688.

Free parking will be available for First Night goers in city-owned park-ing garages from 3:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Depending on where you park, you can walk to events, or ride the free shuttle buses which will start at 3 p.m. and run until 2 a.m.

New this year are three outdoor events — the Celtic Stone Circle. The Oracle, and Resolution Wall.

At the Celtic Stone Circle, nation-ally-known mime and story -teller Pat Roan Judd of Birmingham, and Terry Woolen will lie telling stories and leg-ends around a bonfire.

The Oracle is a pyramid shape in which an actor is sitting. "People can go up to the oracle and ask questions about the new year," said Riddle. "It 's all for entertainment. You can write your resolutions for the new year in charcoal on the Resolution Cave Wall."

This year's First Night theme is "Hot Arts for A Cold Winter's Night." There's plenty of entertain ment to choose from theater, clas-sical music, jazz, blue-grass, and dancing.

Carvin and Michael of the Winans

Headline act : Brothers Carvin and Michael of the Grammy Award-win-ning gospel singers, The Winans, will perform at First Night in Birming-ham.

will be performing songs from their newest release "All Out," 8 p.m., 9 p.m and 10 p.m. in the Seaholm High School Auditorium. Born and raised in Detroit, the Winans began their recording career in 1981 with the al-bum "Introducing The Winans." Their major label debut "Let My People Go." was their second of four gospel Grammy Winners.

Here's a sampling of the groups that will be performing: • For children — Sally Rogers and Howie Bursen's, "Big Laughs" ver-sion of "Jack and the Beanstalk," which involves lots of audience par-ticipation.

'Little Me' opens Dec. 29 Birmingham Theatre will

present its third production of the sea»on, "Litt le Me." Dec. 29 to Jan. 30. Worth Gardner returns to direct this musical parody with actor Charles Busch playing the role of Belle Poitrine.

Performances run 8 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays; 7 p.m. Sundays. Matinees are 2 p.m. Wednesdays, Sundays and Thursday, Jan . 27. Special New Year's Eve performances begin at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Ticket prices range from $19.50 to $37.50. Call 644-3353, or Ticketmaster. 645-6666.

Author , Pa t r i ck Dennis (Auntie Mame) wrote the origi-nal book "Little Me" in 1961. One year later, Neil Simon adapted it for the Broadway

stage and Cy Coleman com-posed the score.

"Little Me" comically dram-atizes the life of Belle Poitrine, stage and film star, in her ef-forts to acquire wealth, culture and social status.

Charles Busch has been se-lected to play the female narra-tive role of Belle Poitrine. Fol-lowing in the fashion of Greek and Shakespearean theater in which men played women's roles. Worth Gardener is using the element of non-traditional casting, both men and women exchanging roles, to achieve a more inventive, tongue-in-cheek production.

As an actor, comedian, play-wright and author, Busch is well known for the female char-acters he brings to life on stage.

Oscar-winners -Jack Lem-mon and Wal ter M a t t h a u . in the story of a l ifetime rivalry that only two fiercely individualistic-curmudgeons could sus ta in — and the jolt tha t re la t ionship un-dergoes when a lovely, romantic and available widow, played by Ann-Margaret , moves in across the street .

Filmed on location in Minneso-ta. Warner Bros. ' " G r u m p y Old Men" examines the decades-old love-hate re la t ionship between next door neighbors J o h n Gustai-son (Jack Lemmon) and Max Golden (Wal ter M a t t h a u ) .

J o h n ' s a n d Max 's greatest plea-sure cons is t s of th ink ing u p new ways to embar rass , ridicule or ambush each o ther in the course of their everyday campaign of re-venge and re t r ibut ion.

Max a n d J o h n might recall the shadowy beginning of this life t ime love-hate re la t ionship , but they're not telling. They greet each other every morning, it 's t rue — but their greeting usually con-sists of profani ty mixed with in-sulting o n e - u p s m a n s h i p .

other 's catch and hurl invective when they share a " f r iendly" chat about their hobby.

Not even J o h n ' s daugh te r Melanie (Daryl H a n n a h ) or Max's son Jacob (Kevin Pollak) know what started their fa ther ' s feud. But with J o h n and Max wifeless and retired, and the indignit ies of the "golden years" encroaching, hat ing each other ' s guts has be-come their greatest pleasure in life.

Thei r greatest pleasure, for 56 years, to be exact, unti l radiant, free-spirited and enchant ingly ec-cent r ic college t eacher Ariel Truax (Ann-Margaret) moves in right across the s t reet from them.

Ariel gives both grumpy old men new leases on life, as she in-nocently escala tes their mutua l loathing to new heights (or depths) , with each furiously joc-keying for first posit ion in her af-fections.

"Grumpy Old M e n " is directed by Donald Petrie, whose "Mystic-Pizza" impressed audiences and crit ics with its humor and hu manity. T h e producers are John Davis ("The F i rm") and Richard C. Berman ("December") , with Dan Kolsrud ("Fal l ing Down") as executive producer.

Pointers for planning holiday parties When host ing a holiday party.

AAA Michigan recommends em phasizing food and fun activities to take the focus off of alcohol. Here are some t ips • Schedule only a short cocktail hour and serve measured drinks. Also offer alcohol-free alterna-tives. Don ' t be a "pour" host by forcing d r i n k s on guests. • Stock your buffet table with starchy and protein-rich foods such as pas ta and potatoes to help retard the absorpt ion of alco-hol into the bloodstream. • Encourage "designated drivers" and make sure they don't drink alcohol dur ing the party. Do not allow an intoxicated guest to drive. Call a cab, drive the guest home or make other arrange-ments.

Here are some holiday party pointers from Marjorie Reed-Gor-don, a consul tant to Stouffer Foods. • P lan on 2l/a drinks |>er person. Separa te the drink serving area from the buffet to control traffic flow. Make ice cubes ahead of t ime and store them in plastic-bags in the freezer or in an ice chest . One pound of coffee yields 24 cups . • Allow for six to eight appetizers for each person. • Figure a 6 to 8 ounce entree serving per guest. • Serve fruit and two other des-sert choices. Prepared graj>efruit sections, marinated overnight in crant>erry juice for color and served in a large bowl, is festive and low in calories.

• Add a caterer 's touch with garnishes of frui ts , vegetables, ev-ergreens. flowers or herbs. • For a party of 25. you will need 35 wine glasses, 75 cocktail nap-kins, 32 dinner plates. 32 sets of silverware. 30 d inner napkins . 32 dessert plates, 30 coffee cups, and 30 dessert forks and teaspoons.

To create a dramat ic center-piece for a buffet , float two white lilies in a shallow glass bowl filled with fresh cranberr ies and a l i t t le water. Sur round the bowl with boughs of evergreens and cont in-ue them down the table, along with various size candles for height

Here 's a recipe to try. Submi t t ed by Laura Huzar of Reese, it was a th i rd place winner in the Alpena Regional "Grea t P r e t e n d e r s . " contest sponsored by AAA Michi-gan.

Local governments would have a more difficult time pushing shooting ranges out of business under two controversial bills passed by the state Senate.

" I t ' s totally unregulated. You t an have them open 24 hours a day," protested Sen. George Z. Hart. D-Dearborn. whose home-town had an indoor range jus t a block from a high school.

"Th i s would take away the right of local units to control hours of operation," said Sen. Lana Pollack, D-Ann Arbor, an opponent. "I believe people who live in the neighborhood need to be able to turn to local elected of-ficials for protection."

"These regulations have one p u r p o s e : t o h a r a s s s p o r t shooters," said the bills' sponsor. Sen. Phil Hoffman. R Horton. "I have 60 townships in my district , and they would have 60 different sets of regulations," said the rural Jackson County lawmaker.

"I used to think the National Rifle Association was unreason-able." said Sen. Don Koivisto, D-lronwood. "NRA said there would l»e licenses, taxes and harass-ment. It turned out to be true. T h e NRA was right. You (oppo-nents of Hoffman's bills) want to license, tax and take guns away."

The Senate Tuesday passed. 25 to 11, the key measure declaring

• ' I t ' s t o t a l l y u n r e g u l a t e d . Y o u c a n h a v e ( s h o o t i n g r a n g e s ) o p e n 2 4 h o u r s a day . '

Sen. George Z. Hart D-Dearborn

"a sport shooting range is not a public or private nu isance" if its operation "conforms to generally accepted operation practices." Those practices are defined as standards of NRA, although NRA isn' t named in the bill.

The bill, opposed by the MicM-gan Municipal League and Michi-gan Townships Association, also prohibits local un i t s from restrict-ing shooting ranges already in op-eration but not from writing re-strictions prior to es tabl ishment of a range.

Area lawmakers voting yes: Re-publicans Michael Bouchard of Birmingham, Mat Dunaskiss of Lake Orion, Robert Geake of Northville and David Honigman of West Bloomfield.

Voting no: Democrats Jack Faxon of Farmington Hills, Wil-liam Faust of West land and Hart, whose district includes Garden City.

Faust offered an amendment that would allow local uni ts to impose "impact fees" on target ranges and use the money to buy nearby houses tha t are affected by noise. It drew onlv nine of the

necessary 20 votes. " T h i s says, 'Soak 'em,' " said

Sen. Chris Dingell, D-Trenton. opposing Faust ' s amendment . "This Legislature has expressed strong aversion to impact fees." Dingell said the Dearborn range attacked by Hart has moved out.

The debate turned bitter with religious and ethnic remarks.

Said Pollack: "We can get re-elected even if we're not blessed with the holy water of the NRA."

Added Virgil Smith. D-Detroit: "You white folks may be afraid of them (NRA). I 'm not."

The Senate 's position was the same as it took in prohibiting lo-cal uni ts from having tighter handgun restrictions than the state. It asserts the state 's pre-emption of gun regulation.

Michigan's constitutional pro-tection of gun ownership, stronger than the U.S. Bill of Rights', says: "Every person has a right to keep and bear arms for the defense of himself and the state."

The bills have been sent to the House Refer to Senate Bills 788 and 789 when writing to your state representative.

New area code kicks in Blame it on the fax machines. For the first t ime since 1947.

southeast Michigan has a new area code, 810. which splits the former 313 code area in half along Eight Mile Road.

Wayne County residents, ex-cept for a few Livonia inhabi t -ants , retain 313 for an area code. All Oakland County residents get 810.

Ameritech officials say the new area code is necessary' because new ways to use phone lines keep being invented. "Designers of the original area code plan back in the 1940s could not have antici-pated just how quickly available numbers would be used up by the skyrocketing popularity of per-sonal pagers, cellular mobile tele-

phones, computer modems and fax ma-hines." said Ameritech area code manager Dean Hovey.

More than three million new phone numbers have been created by the new area code for southeast Michigan. Even so, Ameritech ex pects to reach capacity again in 20 years.

Ameritech spokesman Leon Sowell reports tha t some people have had difficulty getting calls to go through when they dial the new area code. But the faul t lies in n o n - A m e r i t e c h p h o n e - l i n e switches that haven' t been pro-grammed to recognize 810 as an area code, Sowell said. T h i s prob-lem is expected to be fixed soon, as the switch owners are notified.

Ameritech is anxious to have it

known that the new area code won't make anyone's phone bill higher. Calling Southfield from Redford will still l>e a local call, even though the caller has to dial 1-810 to do it. No call that was local before will l»e long distance now, Ameritech says.

Also, calls will still go through using 313 until Aug. 10 so that we all might grow accustomed to the change. After that , Wayne County residents calling individuals in Oakland, Sanilac, Lapeer, St. Clair, Genesee and Macomb counties must dial 8»0 to do so. Oakland County residents calling folks in Wayne, Washtenaw and Monroe counties must dial 313.

For additional data on area codes, call (800)831-8989.

At home: Dale Myers used his home computer to create his "Robo Jr.' cartoon.

He 'toons' at home with his Amiga B Y C H R I S T I N A F U O C O

STAFF WRITER

It doesn't t ake mill ions of dol lars or a presti-gious s tud io to produce a n a w a r d - w i n n i n g cartoon.

It could t a k e j u s t an Amiga home computer . Dale Myers of Livonia used t h a t to c rea te the en-

dea r ing story of "Robo J r . , " a mischievous young ro-bot /space alien who causes a l i t t le t rouble while his p a r e n t searches for motor oil. It debu t s on WD IV-TV Channe l 4 a t 8 p.m. C h r i s t m a s Eve.

So far the seven-minute car toon has received rave reviews dur ing the S I G G R A P H (Special In te res t Group on Graphics) 1993convention and in October ea rned a Joey Award a t the San Jose Fi lm & Video Festival for best computer animat ion.

" SeaQues t ' and 'Unsolved Myster ies ' < televi-sion shows) a re us ing the s a m e sof tware . Compared to those th ings , mine was impress ive because it was one guy . . . a s opposed to Amblin E n t e r t a i n m e n t , " Myers expla ined in an edi t ing su i t e a t WDIV-TV.

WDIV vice pres ident of p r o g r a m m i n g and pro-duct ion H e n r y Maldonado agreed . When he saw it for the first t ime, he had big p l a n s for it .

"I showed it to h im and he flipped out and said. 'Let 's m a k e a ha l f -hour special wi th it.' I said, 'OK. Let 's talk," " Myers said wi th a laugh.

T h e hal f -hour special will include the cartoon as well a s a s tep-by-step d e m o n s t r a t i o n of how Myers c rea ted the cha rac te r of Robo J r . The show opens wi th the tuxedo-clad Myers e m e r g i n g from a lim-ous ine to a t t end the "world p remie re" of "Robo J r . " a t the Fox T h e a t r e in Detroi t . ("We>e playing up t h e whole s t a r aspect of i t ," he sa id . >

Kids pile into t h e t h e a t e r following Myers. When the hype dies down, he tel ls t h e m , "Someth ing t h a t ' s more f u n t h a n wa tch ing car-toons is m a k i n g them.**

The story is told th rough flashbacks. He tells the chi ldren t h a t he came u p wi th t h e idea while play-ing Fr isbee with h is dog. Any h u m a n s i tua t ion lends itself to a cartoon s toryl ine , he said.

" Ideas a re all a round; y o u j u s t gotta pick one," he said.

Myers explained t h a t un l ike most a n i m a t e d specials t h a t a r e c rea ted in product ion companies , Robo J r . was done ent i re ly on M y e r s ' h o m e comput-e r sys tem. After conceiving t h e s tory idea, he scr ipted, directed a n d s p e n t close to a yea r an imat -ing the shor t by us ing a myr iad of sophist icated desk top compu te r p rograms .

"The big appea l to the k ids is t h a t they can do it f a t home) and i t doesn' t have to be done a t Disney s tudios or something," h e said.

Myers h a s produced c o m p u t e r graphics for in-dus t r i a l and broadcast films on a freelance basis since 1989. A former WNIC-FM discjockey, he h a s worked a total of 20 yea r s in rad io and video pro-duct ion. He began his ca ree r in compute r graphics as a wr i ter /producer for the Detroi t b ranch of CBS/Fox Video.

When the division t h a t produced indus t r ia l t r a i n i n g f i l m s folded, he bought the Amiga for word processing. In his spare t ime, he s t a r t ed fiddling a round with the g raphics p rograms . He decided to pu r sue it ser iously in 1989

Although t h e 38-year-old would ideally like to see Robo J r . the subject of i ts own TV series, it 's a nice su rp r i se to have WDIV*s in te res t , he said.

"Doing a local b roadcas t is a nice th ing," al-though it wasn ' t his u l t i m a t e goal, he said.

"It came a long the way. It 's one of those si tua-t ions t h a t fall out of t h e sky You g r a b it and run wi th it," h e said. "The World Premiere ofRobo Jr." will air 8-8:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 24, on WDIV-TV Channel 4

Endearing: Robo Jr. is

Myers's mis-chievous

space alien.

M R . . Farmington

Although time does not allow me to answer all the letters 1 receive, 1 do try to select those who have written more than once. I also selected this writing as I feel she is a nice person to feature during Christmas week.

In this handwriting sample is a spirit of orderliness. Her sur-roundings would be neat, tidy and attractive. She has a place for ev-erything.and likes things in their place.

Her daily routine is well-orga-nized. I can see her objective planning and the implementation of it. Her strong desire for accura-cy suggests one who strives for perfection. The small details receive careful attention even

though they may also be a source of annoyance sometimes.

Good concentration is evident here. She can zero in on one thing at a time and lends exclusive at-tention to whatever it is. She probably has a retentive memory also.

Hers is a keen mentality and an innate love of mental activity. In addition, she may have a good mind for figures or money. This is a woman with a strong sense of responsibility. She is efficient, conscientious and disciplined. She is also thorough and works hard. Those who know her best have learned she can be counted upon to fulfill her obligations.

Her foundation was laid in a conservative upbringing and she has not strayed too far from it. Her a t t i tude regarding morality and ethics is rather rigid and her conscience is her guide.

Dignity is much in evidence here. She is a sensitive woman.

She fears criticism and can usual-ly be found conforming to the mores of society.

This is a modest woman. She does not feel the need to be in the limelight to be happy. There is little pretense about her. She is the same personality in public as she is in private life.

At times she feels she has been taken advantage of and has her guard up to prevent this from re-curring. Sarcasm is her defense when she feels threatened. Per-haps this is the reason for a little irritability I see.

Close friends are chosen with care. She tends to keep her own counsel and is reluctant to reveal too much of her inner life. Al-though emotional, she appears to have a strong need to exercise control.

The empathy in her handwrit-ing tells us she is caring, friendly and often helpful. The lessons of life have taught her not to be

wasteful with time, talent or her resources.

With regard to her question: If she writes uphill most o f t h e time and considering the rest of her handwriting, I see a positive per-son with faith in a higher being.

If you would like to have your

handwriting analyzed in this newspaper, write to Lorene C. Green, a certified graphologist, at 36251 Schoolcraft, Livonia 48150 Please use a full sheet of white, unlined paper, writing in the first person singular.

Christmas from page 1C

had made for them, then rinsed out their stockings, hanging them by the chimney to dry. When they were done, they gathered around Papa and he told his Btory.

" 'Twas the night before Christ-mas and all through the house," Sharp said, waving her hands in an all encompassing motion. "Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse . . . "

Her presentation of Moore's poem was a memorable one, but it wasn't until she finished with the "Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night," did she let on why she chose to use it for Papa's story.

"That was written by my great-g r e a t - g r a n d f a t h e r . C l e m e n t Moore, in 1822," she said. "Actu-ally. written is probably the wrong word. I think he must have put down some couplets on the back of an envelope, but it was never written down."

Moore's poem was such a hit that even more relatives came the next year to hear him tell it.

"A cousin came from Yonkers and wrote it down on the back of the envelope," Sharp said. "She

• 'Thomas Nast put Santa Claus at the Korth Pole and had the elves help make the toys, but Mrs. Claus didn't come along until 1927.'

Florence Dinghy Sharp

went home and had it published in the Troy Sentinel. She was so excited she hurried back to show-Papa. He was so furious because she had given away his Chris tmas present that she was banished from the house for many years."

Parts of the published poem re-flect the cousin's lack of knowl-edge of the Danish language. A c -cording to Sharp, Donner and Blitzen should have been "dunder and blitzen," meaning thunder and lightning.

The poem became part of pub-lic domain because of its appear-ance in the newspaper, but in 1848 Moore did an anthology of children's stories and the last one in the book was his beloved "A

Visit from St. Nick," Sharp said. Moore willed his estate to Col-

umbia. which maintained it as a children's museum. "It was kept going by the pennies of New York school children," Sharp noted. Today, what's left of it can be found "on Ninth Avenue between 21st and 22nd Street by the Big Boy and the Gap."

Up in years. Sharp has had to curtail her travels, although she said her holidays will take her to Charlotte, N.C., and San Diego, Calif., with a stop in Chicago — "If you care to come along, just hop on my sleigh."

So, with the help of Visual Spe-cialties of Farmington Hills, Sharp has come up with video presentation about Papa and his poem. The cassettes cost $20 each, plus 4-percent sales tax, payable by check. Visa or Master-Card, and are available in a regu lar version and signed for the hearing-impaired.

To order, write to Visual Speci-alties, 26105 Orchard Lake Road, Suite 100, Farmington Hills 48334. For more information, call 476-5400.

Alzheimer's: More than memory loss Memory loss. Disorientation.

Night wander ing. Tan t rums . These have become the all-too-fa-miliar signs of someone suffering the degenerative effects of Al-zheimer's disease. Recently, how-ever, several other characteristics have been added to the list.

According to research conduct-ed at the University of Michigan School of Nursing, people with Alzheimer's who live at home — even those who are still relatively young and physically fit — are far more susceptible to falling than elderly people who do not have the disease. In many cases, all it takes is one serious injury from a fall to start the downward spiral toward death.

There are two large contribu-tors to the increase in falling in the Alzheimer's population, said Dorothy Booth, assistant profes-sor of nursing. "The cognitive im-pairment caused by the disease has something to do with it. but home safety may also play a criti-cal role."

In a yearlong study, Booth and two graduate nursing students followed 11 people with Al-zheimer's who were living at home with a full-time caregiver. The median age of the patients and the caregivers was 68, although some patients were, as young as 59. In tha t year, 36 percent of the Alzheimer's patients fell at least once, while none of the caregivers fell. One patient even fell 10 times in a month.

• 'These patients don't know where their body is In space. When you ask them to grasp an ob-ject, they may come In way below or above It.'

Dorothy Booth

"These patients don't know where their body is in space," Booth said. "When you ask them to grasp an object, they may come in way below or above it. Tha t ' s why pathway clutter, stairways and poorly lighted areas are par-ticularly hazardous for them."

To protect those with Al-zheimer's from dangerous tum-bles, and in the process keep them living at home as long as possible. Booth urges caregivers to have a health professional skilled in this area conduct a home safety evaluation.

Often, the suggestions will be as simple as switching to a cord-less phone or improving the light-ing. But in other cases, pieces of furniture that emerge as obstacles may have to be removed or relo-cated.

"I t behooves us to preserve the dignity of people afflicted with Al-zheimer's by keeping them active and preventing injury," Booth said. "And safety-proofing the home is a big step caregivers can take in that direction."

A significant but sometimes overlooked reason behind the fall-ing is that Alzheimer's creates ha-

voc with visual-spatial percep-tion. According to Dr. Jonathan Trobe. professor of ophthalmolo-gy and associate professor of neu-rology at the U-M Medical Cen-ter, poor visual judgment is an early warning sign o f the disease.

Common symptoms include difficulty recognizing people, in-terpreting pictures and distin-guishing between objects, espe-cially when their borders are ob-scured or overlap. For example, someone with Alzheimer's may have difficulty identifying a bottle of beer in a crowded refrigerator or a particular article of clothing in a full drawer.

Yet when such people get their eyes checked, the results are nor-mal. This is because the vision problems associated with Al-zheimer's have nothing to do with the eye itself, but with the way the brain interprets the eye's sig-nals.

"It seems as if their problems are visual, but they aren't; they're spatial," Trobe said.

After years of research, Trobe and collaborator Charles Butter, a U-M professor of psychology, have come up with a simple

screening test for the visual-spati-al impairment typical of Al-zheimer's, a lest that may lead to earlier diagnosis of the disease.

It is a user-friendly screening designed to help optometrists and ophthalmologists easily distin-guish between a visual-spatial impairment and a merely visual one.

"Often these patients are told they are crazy, that there's noth-ing wrong with their eyes," Trobe said. "This test allows us to make the diagnosis early and keep them from circling around trying to fig-ure out what the problem is."

Trobe emphasized, however, that the test itself cannot make a diagnosis of Alzheimer's. Rather, it is designed as a screening tool that tells eye-care providers when a patient should be sent for a full neurological evaluation.

Trobe's screening test, de-scribed in a recent issue of "Ar-chives of Ophthalmology." con sists of four exercises. Patients must identify' a simple line draw-ing. a drawing embedded in a grid of lines, drawings that overlap each other, and images that are fragmented and have deleted parts.

Currently. Trobe is sending the test lo selected eye-care providers around the country who will use it on their patients and report back on its effectiveness He eventually hopes to distribute the test to op-tometrists and ophthalmologists nationwide.

Services celebrate spirit of Christmas

On Chr i s tmas Eve 175 years ago. the popular Chr is tmas carol. "Silent N igh t " was first written Franz Gruber . organist of the lit-tle church in the village of Obern-dorf. Austr ia , found that the or-gan was out of order and could not be used for the Chris tmas ser-vice the next day.

Desperate, he thought that per-haps a new song would help. So he asked his fr iend, Josef Mohr, the pastor , to write verses for the song and those verses he set to music.

Hard at work: Sandy Sal-loum (left) and Redemp-ta Quintan sort through the house-hold goods and food col-lected for St. Edith's Christmas outreach.

BILL BKKSLEK STAFF PHOTOGRAPMICH

Reaching out is year-round job B Y S U E M A S O N STAFF WRITER

Maybe Carol Savage was Chr i s tmas Carol in another life. She has dark hair and pixie fea-tures and everywhere you look in her office there are p resen t s . Oh, yeah, and lots of food.

She laughs when told she must be San ta ' s sidekick, but quickly tells you i t 's the giving na ture of others that makes her job so rewarding. Savage is di-rector of the Chris t ian Service Office of St . Edith Catho l ic Church in Livonia, which is helping to make Chr i s tmas a bit brighter tor more than 200 needy famil ies in the communi ty and at its sister Church, Mar tyrs of Uganda in Detroit .

"None of th i s would be possi-ble without the people'"*>f t h i s par i sh ," she said. "They ' r e so giving. We have a budget for Chr is t ian outreach that would be much more l imited if the people weren' t so generous."

T h i s is the 15th year St. Edi th Church has reached out to help those less for tuna te . Ch r i s tmas is the busiest t ime of the year for Savage and her cadre of v olunteers.

T h e shopping is the easiest part of the Chr i s tmas effort . A giving tree in the lobby of the church was decorated with 900 gift tags. T h e tags are a coded shopping list; each con ta ins the gender, size and item needed by the recipient. Par ishioners took a tag, bought the gift and re-tu rned it, with the tag a t t ached , to Savage's office.

Working with cash donat ions and S tan ' s Marke t , which offers the pantry a 10 percent discount year-round, they're able to feed the families, a l though Savage admi t s the pantry "will be emp-ty and donat ions will have dried u p " by the end of the holidays.

"We'll be dry by Chr is tmas , but we were able to do what we needed to do." she said. "After Chr is tmas , we see a real decline in donat ions ."

Some o f t h e famil ies St. Edith helped th is C h r i s t m a s have year-round contact with the off-ice. Some were referrals from Livonia City Hal l and others were referred by f r iends or neighbors.

Savage has seen an increase in requests th i s year a n d attrib-utes it to " t r ickle down, what-ever is going on in the general society affects u s . "

"There"* so m a n y people who are unemployed who didn' t th ink they would be and who need help," Savage said. "I think the more we get known, the more oppor tun i ty there is to get calls for help ."

Planning for the holiday out-reach s tar ted in October, when p l a n s were m a d e for the Thanksgiving deliveries. Once thai holiday was pas t , work started on Chr i s tmas .

Savage has a core group of volunteers who coordina te each phase of the ou t reach . Jeanne Treff and Pat Rash id — "my right hands . " according to Sav-age — and the i r crew have the job of calling rec ip ients and get-

ting information for the gift tags and food orders. T h e coding is used to protect the confidential-ity of the families.

" W e never ask their religion or even if they go to church , " Savage said. "All we care about is to make it nicer for them. We try not to refuse anyone who needs help, bu t we try to make sure we don ' t dupl icate what ' s being done by the Goodfellows."

Also a par t of Savage's holi-day ou t reach commi t t ee is Redempta Quin lan . who with some 20 volunteers sorts and packs the dona t ions for delivery by Anne Pomavil le and her crew of ano the r 20 church members .

"We ' re like a workshop with elves," Savage said. "People en-joy doing it and we're getting more and more efficient. We're good at what we do."

Savage remembers when the Chr i s t i an Service got its s tar t . T h e year was 1979 and the out-reach was on "a very small ba-sis; we s tar ted out with a library and a box of referral cards." It has grown a hundredfold and now reflects the philosophy of St. Ed i th ' s pastor, the Rev J i m Scheick.

" W e have a very similar vi-sion of t h i s , " Savage said. "Fa-ther J i m ' s philosophy is tha t it would be very hard to preach the message of the gospel on Sun-day and dur ing the week say no. It would be so opposed to what we are taught . I guess we're on

the liberal social end of the spectrum with our modern ap-proach to living our fa i th ."

Savage has found support for the outreach from not only the parishioners, who filled most of the 900 requests , but people like the grade school s tuden t s who adopted a family with eight chil-dren. Each grade — there are eight — was responsible for gifts for one of the chi ldren.

S tuden t s in the religious edu-cation program also got in-volved. T h e two fourth garde classes combined to buy a gift for a child, t h e n had a Polaroid picture taken to a t tach to the present. T h e sixth grade class made a huge card to go with their gift.

Even the church youth group helped. It adop ted two children and also held a scavenger hunt that brought in 600 cans of food. Savage said.

Together, the school children and religious education stu-dents raised $285 for the out-reach in addi t ion to buying gifts.

" Jus t to see those faces," Sav-age said of t h e s tuden ts ' help. "They come in as a group and are so en thus ias t i c . I tell them. You may never meet the people

you help, bu t that beauty of making their lives bet ter will be with you the rest of your lives.* "

Savage is always accepting donat ions a n d those interested in helping to restock the pantry should call her at 464-2027.

Natural world provides interesting family portraits NATURE TRAILS

TIMOTHY NOWICKI

Family reunion: Mallards begin pairing in fall. Courtship activities can be seen before ice forms on ponds and lakes. A pair that has bonded together will stay close to each other, demonstrating their attachment.

The ho l idays are a t ime of the year when fami-lies make every effort to get to-gether. S h a r i n g stories, helpi ng with the mea l s and ma in t a in ing that family bond are jus t some of the reasons why p e o p l e e n j o y gathering for the

hol idays .

W h e n you look out your win-dow into the back yard, you are also looking at some family gather ings . Though it is hard for us to recognize the Corvus from the Brachyrhynchos in the crow family gathering, or the Bran t a f rom the Canadensis in the C a n a -da goose reunion, there are fami ly u n i t s mak ing up the group.

No t all birds stay in fami ly u n i t s af ter nesting. Many b i rds ac tua l ly force their young from the area in which they were raised. When the young re turn from migrat ion, or es tabl ish the i r own nes t ing territory next season,

they will return to the general vi-cinity of where they were raised.

Some adult birds, like cardinals for instance, remain close to their mate of the previous season. If tha t season was successful , a n d both birds are alive, they will like-ly mate and raise another brood. Maintaining a bond through win-ter allows early nes t ing in spring.

Mallards begin pair ing in fall. Cour tship activities can be seen before ice forms on ponds and lakes. A pair tha t has bonded to-gether will stay close to each other, demonst ra t ing their a t tach-ment . In winter, when food can be scarce, it has been shown t h a t bonded pairs are d o m i n a n t over pairs that are not bonded. So it is to their advantage to pair early.

A small group of crows seen in our yard is a family un i t made u p of the two adu l t s and their young of the previous nes t ing season. Large groups are composed of two

or three family un i t s . Next nest-ing season the young from the previous season will he lp the adu l t s gather nes t ing mater ia l and feed the young — the i r broth-ers and sisters.

Small groups of C a n a d a geese seen in winter are also family un i t s made up of the adu l t s and surviving young of the year. Adul ts help to protect inexperi-enced young, and if they migrate, the adu l t s show the young where to go. I t was once though t t h a t all animal behavior was inborn, or innate . Behavioral is ts are now recognizing that there is more learning involved in all k inds of animal behavior.

Next t ime you look out your window, you may be f r aming a family portrai t of backyard birds.

Tim Nowicki is a naturalist at Independence Oaks County Park in Oakland County. He lives in Livonia.

MARTY FIGLEY

Book beat's rich with good reads

This ia such a busy t ime of year that once in a while we need to put our feet up and read or study a good book. Following are a few for your consideration:

• "Enjoying Roses" (Ortho Books, $39.95) is a In-autiful and beautifully written account of these popular flowers. The history of the rose is fasci-nating reading and is jus t the beginning of the abundant information. Major classes of roses are presented in very clear terms so that the proper rose can be selected for a particular site. Informa-tion about planting roses in the ground or contain-ers guides the most novice gardener. Nothing has been omitted — from their care, arranging, dis-plays forjudging, propagation and hybridizing, to enjoying them in crafts and recipes and photo-graphic tips. The encyclopedic section o f t h e "most outstanding roses available commercially in the U.S." is icing on the cake.

• In "Designing a Garden" (Camden House, $19.95 paper), author Allen Peterson guides us through the seasons in his one-acre garden in southern Ontario. He explains how the garden is an extension of the home and how and why he combines many kinds of p lan ts for great effect and continuous bloom. Peterson gives design ideas that can easily be adapted to our own gardens. I like t h e way he correlates everything and the na-turalness of his garden. A wealth of information. • "The Living Garden. The 400-year History of an English Garden," by George Ordish (Houghton Mifflin, $10.95 paper), describes a tract of land first cultivated in 1556: the first garden planted by the homemaker, with herbs. We become acquain-ted with and follow the family and the subsequent owners, and learn about the earth and all the in-tricacies of plants and animals (domestic and wild) and their relationships to the ecology and each other. Captivating narrative. • "Invitation to the Garden: A Literary and Pho-tographic Celebration," edited by Ferris Cook (Stewart. Tabori & Chang, $45), contains exquisite photos taken by nine dist inquished garden photo-graphers that artfully illustrate the plants. Cook reminds us that the garden season begins at dif-ferent times of the year for gardeners and there is hope and anticipation whenever that is. The pho-tos are accompanied by poems and essays tha t re-late to the garden and the plants. • Enjoy a section of "The Secret Garden" by F.H. Burnett (when Mary opens the door for the first time); H.G. Wells' account of orchids; a letter by William Morris in 1888 to his daughter; and much more. Th i s is a volume to treasure at any t ime of the year, to reflect upon nature and its meaning. Beautiful. • ' Willows, The Genus Salix," by C. Newsholme (Timber Press, $34.95), may surprise you with the number of these plants suitable for home gardens. Newsholme takes us through the selections by size, which will help in siting them. They have grown throughout the world since before the Ice Age and have been used in medicine, for crafts and as ornamentals and ecological plants in the land-scape. The line drawings show the complexity of the various species. • "Miniature Orchids," by J im and Barbara McQueen (Timber Press. $24.95), is just the book for orchid lovers with limited space. The McQueens operate an orchid nursery in Australia and write from personal experience. The descrip-tions and growing needs of 298 of these small plants are accompanied by color photographs. • "Improving Your Garden Soil" (Ortho, $8.95) gives all the lowdown on how to accomplish this goal and suggests p lants for problem places. Sev-eral public gardens tha t had poor soil and their success in improving conditions are featured. A good basic book on the subject. • "Wild Woodlands: The Old-growth Forests of America," by Bill T h o m a s (Taylor, $36), eloquent-ly tells the story of the native forests from under-water forests and deserts to alpine peaks. Thomas describes the life t ha t exists here — birds, mam-mals and the vegetation — and explains the way they are interrelated; how the forests can re gen erate through natural progression. He shares his personal experiences in these forest*. His photo-grapher's eye takes us on • visual visit with fasci-nating photographs.

A most happy holiday season to you all!

DiBlasi applauded for artistic excellence B Y L I N D A A N N C H O M I N SPECIAL WRITER

Francesco DiBlasi ' s t rombone-playing grandfather started him on cornet at age 3'A, inspiring a lifelong love affair with music.

By age 12, DiBlasi had played the 1939 New York World's Fair. At 19, he made his conducting debut at Town Hall, directing the New York Little Symphony, comprised of 50 New York Philharmonic members.

On Dec. 14, the 66-year-old conduc-tor/music director of the Livonis Symphony Orchestra received recog-nition for a lifetime of musical ac-complishments. He received the Wayne County Artistic Excellence and Community Commitment Award from the Wayne County Council For

T h e Arts at a reception in the Histor-ic Wayne County Building in Detroit.

Wayne County Executive Edward McNamara, a former Livonia mayor, presented the awards to 13 recipients in honor of Italian-American history. Other winners were Joseph Maniscal-co, Tony Spina, Steve Antoniotti, Ed-ward Baker, Florence Maiullo Barnes, Louella Barons, Andrea di Tommaso, Reno Garagiola, John Lobbia, Mary Castelvetere Siciliano, Frank D. Stel-la and Oresto J . Verlardo.

"I t was an honor to be associated with Joseph Maniscalco, Tony Spina, Frank Stella and the other recipi-ents ," said DiBlasi in an interview at his Livonia home of 24 years.

DiBlasi has had a long and illustri ous career as both a musician and

conductor, his training rooted in the most prestigious music schools, in-cluding T h e Juilliard School of Mu-sic, L'Ecole de Pierre Monteux and Detroit Ins t i tu te of Musical Art.

In 1948, he left Juilliard to accept a position conducting and playing with the famed Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo for three seasons.

Over the past 45 years, he has con-ducted the International Symphony of San Diego. Buffalo Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. Detroit Little Symphony, Michigan Opera Com pa

^ny, Philadelphia Orchestra, Pit ts-burgh Symphony, Juilliard Opera, Canton (Ohio) Symphony, St. Cecilia Orchestra (Rome) and Scandinavia Symphony as well ss performed un-der conductors Stravinsky, Copeland,

B e r n s t e i n . Mi t ropo lous , P a r a y , Stokowski, Frit2 Reiner and Ar thur Fiedler.

One of the high points in his career came in 1950 when he "joined the De-troit Symphony Orchestra as assist-ant first t rumpet playing on all the famous 1953-62 recordings at old Or-chestra Hall."

While with the DSO, he organized the Pontiac Symphony, which recent-ly celebrated its 40th season. At the same time, he was music director of the Michigan Opera Company for five years.

In 1964, DiBlasi went to New York for four years to play with the Metro-politan Opera, Stokowski's American

The $1,400 in proceeds from the Livonia His-torical Society's eighth annual progressive din-ner Nov. 13 ia ticketed for the Alexander Blue House restoration project a t Greenmead Histori-cal Village.

Local history buffs envision the 142-year-old, white-clapboard house becoming a self-support-ing setting for receptions, conferences, meetings snd parties. Psriod furni ture will reflect 1880s Livonis Township.

The money will go toward expanding the road house kitchen and living room in the back of the

house into a banquet room tha t seats 150. The eight dinners have raised about $25,000. Overall, more than $65,000 has been raised

toward the $700,000 needed to restore the two-story, 12-room house, once home to a Livonia Townahip civic leader on Middlebeit and Greenmead's only example ot I ta l ianate architec-ture.

T h e house was moved to Greenmead in 1987.

Still gift hunting? Consider a book BOOK

BREAK

• l l

VICTORIA DIAZ

By now, you've p r o b a b l y read and heard more than enough ad-vice about what books to choose for all the avid readers on your holiday list this year.

This won't be m o r e of the same. But it can help with your

holiday shopping. Even if, at this late date, you still can't decide on the perfect book for your favorite book lover, not to worry. Jus t re-lax and remember that the afore-mentioned not only enjoy books. they usually enjoy anything relat-ed to books, too. You really can't go wrong with any of the follow-ing: • To accompany a cozy reading session on a winter night, present your favorite bookworm with a Barnes & Noble Literary Cafe Gift Basket. Each straw basket contains an eight-ounce "author mug" (choose from Anne Tyler, Virginia Woolf, William Shake-speare or James Michener), plus packets of herbal tea (the car-damon cinnamon is as tasty as it sounds), a stainless-steel tea infuser or Gayle's chocolate bars and various flavoring syrups. At Barnes & Noble. Bloomfield Hills; $15. • Consider calendars. You'll find (he best selections in bookstores.

"A Literary Companion" for 1994 is assembled from the collec-tion of the Library of Congress.

Bookmarks

Featuring 12 great black-and-white photos of noted writers like Faulkner, Joyce and Chekhov, the large calendar contains comments by and about each. Pomegranate Calendars and Books; $10.95 at Borders.

For the storybook set: "Chil-dren's Classics" is a lusciously colorful group of illustrations from favorites like "Rapunzel," "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Ugly Duckling." Such noted art-ists as Victoria Lisi, Ruth Sand-erson and Robyn Officer have contributed; an excerpt from each story accompanies the artwork. Andrews & McMeel; $10.95 at Borders. Keepsake quality. • Speaking of the marking of time (and the storybook set), you might want to take a look at the unusual Alice in Wonderland clocks offered at the Livonia Civic Center Library Gift Shop. The faces of the analog timepieces are adorned with pastel scenes from the Lewis Carroll stories, as they were originally illustrated by-John Tenniel. Licensed by Pan MacMillan Children's Books, the batters- powered clocks are priced from $37.95 to $39.50.

• Don't forget puzzles and games. Check out "Burning Evidence," a challenging jigsaw puzzle, com-plete with a secret image that helps players identify the deadly arsonist bent on turning the fic-tional Metro City into an inferno. The puzzle kit contains the short whodunit (written by John Lutz) plus 1,000 puzzle pieces. By be-PUZZLED; at Jacobson's. $20.00. Other mystery puzzles are avail-

able. More for the armchair sleuth:

Try a mystery party game. Each game enables players to assume the roles of characters in a mys-tery story and to solve the who-dunit. Game "packages" include everything from menu suggestions for the party to invitations to se-cret clues to the short mystery story at the center of it all — and much more. Various whodunits are available, all of them starring the clever detective Jock McClew. At Murder Ink, New York; $19.95. Call 1-800-488-8123. • Arrange for a year's subscrip-tion to the New York Times Book Review. Subscription rate is $39. Call 1-800-631-2580. • For $10, enroll a friend in Wal-denbooks Preferred Reader Pro-gram. Preferred Readers are enti-tled to a 10-percent discount on virtually any book purchased; one "bonus point" is earned for each dollar spent. A $5 gift certificate is awarded when 100 points accu-mulate. • Go in a slightly different direc-tion. Take a friend on a leisurely tour of the Main Branch of the Detroit Public Library, 5201 Woodward. Make sure to set aside time for the Rare Book Room, where you'll discover some very special, but little-known Detroit treasures.

While you're in the area, visit John King's Used Book Store, 901 W. Lafayette. Arrange ahead of time to visit the Rare Book Room there, too. Unearth more trea-sures. Call 961-0622. • Drive someone vou love to Ann

Arbor in 1994 to hear noted au-thors speak as part of the Visiting Writers Series, sponsored by Bor-ders and the University of Michi-gan. Admission is usually free, so arrive early. Most events take place at the Rackham Am-phitheatre, 915 E. Washington. Call 764-6296 for a schedule. • And don't forget: bookends, b o o k p l a t e s , b o o k m a r k s , sweatshirts and t's with a literary theme. Ditto posters, postcard collections, even postage stamps.

• Finally, a generous offer to build bookshelves for a disorgan-ized book collector has never been refused. Some of the best gifts simply don't come in glittery, gift-wrapped boxes.

Last words: A copy of longtime Ford publicist John Sattler 's memoir. "Fifty Years Ahead of the News" will be included in a time capsule assembled to com-memorate the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Public Rela-tions Student Society of America. The capsule will be opened in 50 years and the material inside it displayed at Walt Disney World.

Victoria Diaz of Livonia, a long-time member of Detroit Women Writers, tracks the books and lit-erary industry for tbe Observer & Eccentric Newspapers She says she "has a lifelong interest in reading, everything from great novels to cereal boxes. " You can leave a message for her on a touch-tone phone by dialing 953-2047, then her mailbox number, 1854.

years of life experiences, Acerri, as his signature Mad Monk, beckons us to practice the art of contem-plation.

"TJie secret of my heart is that no doors are closed" reads one bookmark; "Love is so powerful, it is frightening. If it is not, look elsewhere" warns another.

"People seem to like what I do. What I write about, everyone's pretty much experienced. I think it reminds people of what hap-pens in their life. It reminds them of their wife, or boyfriend or rela-tionship," said Acerri in an inter-view at his Livonia home.

"I want people to learn to ap-preciate themselves and whoever they're with. I think when some-one is around for a long time, we t ake them for granted. Then when t hey're gone, we realize."

To add a dash of spice to the prose, Acerri renders simple line drawings in ink, accenting them with colored pencil and watercol-or. He spends some 30 hours a week writing and drawing and writing some more.

"I t ' s not a hobby. It 's an inte-gral part of my life," Acerri said. "I think everyone's creative. My parents encouraged creativity."

Although Acerri's father had only a fourth grade education, he instilled in him the love of words by taking him to the library often.

Born and raised on the east side of Detroit, Acerri attended Nativity of Our Lord elementary

and high school. He graduated with a bachelor's of art degree from Wayne State University where he majored in political sci-ence. After four years in the Air Force, he returned to Wayne State to earn a master's in library sci-ence.

Basically self taught as an art-ist, Acerri has taken classes in calligraphy, printmaking and pot-tery at Schoolcraft College in Livonia and Center for Creative Studies in Detroit. He has exhib-ited abstracts, photographs and prose/drawings at the library where he has worked for the last 22 years.

Acerri says he is particularly fond of the Dada school of art with its reliance on text and draw-ings to convey meaning. As an in-formation specialist for the Wayne County Regional Educa-tional Service Agency, where he is head of reference, Acerri searches for meanings.

"When kids ask me what I do for a living, I say I'm an answer man," Acerri said, laughing.

Acerri uses symbols frequently in his work. Hearts and roses dominate. "I use the rose because it means beauty. The swan is fi-delity," Acerri said.

Between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m. is his most creative period; however ideas seemingly spring from nowhere into his thought, some-times at work and other times while driving a car.

Acerri carries a notebook with him so when the muse strikes, he is able to immortalize the words for posterity:

"Cast your heart to the rose. Never mind the thorns. You won't know they're there."

"Do not let anyone steal your dream. It is your breath."

Just who is this Mad Monk re-ally?

"People have ideas of what a monk is, religious. My monk per-son is religious and a bit of a ro-gue. He's kind of like a combina-tion of Zorba the Greek and a monk. Appolonia is his ideal woman."

Appolonia and the Mad Monk appear throughout his work as a graphic symbol: half man, half

woman. "It shows the female side of

man, and the man side of wom-an," Acerri said.

"I think what I've learned (about life) I've learned from women. Women are more honest with their words, with their feel-ings. They might say about my work, it's too idealistic, or not idealistic enough.

"I think I'm a bachelor because I'm an idealist," says Acerri and he's probably right. "The secret of success is not to believe it."

Library hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday-Saturday and 1-5 p.m. Sunday.

Symphony Orchestra. While there, he was a member of the orchestra that gave the first seven concerts at Lincoln Cen-ter under German conductor Herman Scherchen.

In 1969. DiBlasi was ap-pointed assistant conductor and assistant first trumpet with the Buffalo Philharmonic under Lukas Foss. He returned to Michigan in 1973 to organize the Oakway Symphony, later to become the Livonia Symphony Orchestra, now in its 20th sea-son.

DiBlasi, who founded the LSO's Young Artist Competi-tion 15 years ago, serves on the faculty of Madonna University in Livonia. He believes the fu ture of classical music lies in exposing young people at an early age. That ' s why he intro-duced the LSO's popular chil-dren's concerts last season.

In regards to why he founded the Young Artist Competition, he says you can't teach talent. It's inborn and you pick it up with experience. The competi-tion provides aspiring young musicians and vocalists the opportunity to gain just that.

What's next for the man who

earned a bachelor of arts degree at Madonna College and a master's degree in performance from Eastern Michigan Uni-versity?

DiBlasi. who loves nothing more than studying scores in front of his fireplace, was re cently offered two southern orchestras (Shreveport and -Sa-vannah) with budgets near $1 million but turned them down because he "doesn't want to commute that much "

DiBlasi. at age 66, says he "doesn't want to IK- so busy that he doesn't have time for life." Instead, he wants to make the LSO a state and na-tionally respected orchestra.

Since his uncle in Italy lived to lx- 106. DiBlasi figures he has another 40 years of contri butions to make to the world of music. His future plans in elude taking a promising Livo-nia pianist to New York to de but the young artist's award winning piano concerto.

The Wayne County Council For The Arts was formed in 1989. In 1991, the Cir>t year the awards were given, six artists were honored, including Livo-nia photographer Carlos Diaz.

14 at the BBAA. Ellen Phelan, a native Detroiter

with bachelor of fine ar ts and master of fine arts degrees from Wayne State University, will be guest artist and juror for the 1994 competition.

Treasure yuletide photos FOCUS ON

PHOTOGRAPHY

MONTE NAGLER

I've of ten writ-ten about photo-graphing dur ing the holidays be-cause a t no other

• A * M t ime of the year are more pic-

, tures taken to

record t reasured VRWF'*'A family memories .

J y Today, I'd like to review some of t h e i m p o r t a n t pointers for pic-ture tak ing at

C h r i s t m a s t ime and also to give you some new ideas to consider.

T h e best kind of '"people" pic-tu res to take at holiday t ime are casua l ones, even candids. Rather t h a n pose everyone stiffly in a line, have family members and f r i ends sit or s tand casually. Use your self- t imer so tha t you can get in the picture, too.

S n a p the kids as they happily u n w r a p new presents under the tree. In all the excitement, they won't even know you're there and you'l l be able to obta in na tura l .

spon taneous expressions. Fill t he f r ame for impact and watch the background for d is t rac t ions or unwan ted reflections from mir-rors and windows.

Use flash and slow-speed film. T h i s way, your shots will be sharp , clear and fine grain so tha t you can have quali ty enlarge-m e n t s made.

Don' t forget other holiday sub-jec ts that will add variety to your shots . A closeup of a sparkl ing t ree ornament , the wreath on the f ront door or the Chr i s tmas din-ner table all will pay off with fine yule t ide pictures.

For those of you who live in "snow country ," holiday t ime is t h e perfect t ime for cap tur ing dra-mat ic winter scenes on film. Pho-to oppor tuni t ies after a snowfall abound .

Need some gift ideas for the camera buff in the family? How abou t one of the many fine pho-tography books or qual i ty photog-raphy calendars that are avail-able ' ' T h e stores have many selec-t ions and they could be just the

thing to keep an interest in pho-tography s t imula ted throughout the year.

Another unusua l idea is to "give" a photography class or workshop to the aspir ing camera en thus ias t in the family. All met-ropolitan areas offer many class-es. J u s t check your local newspa-per or inquire at your camera shop for schedules.

• Another idea: Buy a gift certifi cate for a family portrai t at one of the local s tudios. T h i s is truly a personal and u n u s u a l gift for those special relatives, f r iends or neighbors.

To all of my readers and friends, please accept best wishes for a happy, healthy, holiday sea-son and a picture-fi l led 1994!

Decorate home with angel dust B Y L I N D A A N N C H O M I N SP»:I IAI WRITER

A sign covered with angel dus t in the win dow of Frame Works in P lymouth ca tches the cur ios i ty of passersby: "Jo in Us For a New C h r i s t m a s Tradi t ion: Introducing Heaven on E a r t h . "

Wi th an invitat ion like tha t , who could re-s is t opening the door to sneak a peak inside"' IA, and behold, what will you find? A host of heavenly angels displayed among gossamer c louds and white sparkl ing lights.

"Angels seem to be a popular t h e m e this year. We would love people to come in and see our angels u p above the c louds," said Al Lar son, owner of Frame Works in P lymouth . Livonia and Can ton Township . " M y staff has o u t d o n e themselves creatively on these piec es . "

Larson and his staff began assembl ing the d i sp lay nearly five m o n t h s ago. If you ' re look ing for decorat ing ideas to add a touch of gold to your home th i s holiday season, there 's s o m e t h i n g here for you.

Innovative f r aming and mat t ing tha t encir-cles only half the print , ant ique-looking gold wood f rames, use of marbleized papers and a sprinkle of glittery angel dus t under the glass (How did tha t get there 7 ) bring the imagina-tion to life

Magnif icent Botticelli angels seem ready to take flight alongside a lone gilded angel by Char les Dwyer J r . who asks, "So what color would you suppose the sky will be tonight ' "

An a n o n y m o u s piece of prose in the mids t of it all con t inues the questioning: "How does an art is t make visible the invisible? Make physical the d iv ine?"

Whether i t 's to find an answer why angels have symbolized divine comfort, protect ion and guidance in cul tures throughout the ages, or simply to enjoy a holiday treat , hurry to see these celestial creatures hy Dec. 22 before they take flight.

Gallery hours are 10 a m tn 5 30 p.m. Mon-day-Friday, till 8 p m Thursday and 10 a m to 4:30 p m Saturday

Offering too much or too l i t t le mon-ey for a house can be one of t h e many pi t fal ls involved in the buying pro-cess.

Obviously, offering too much mon-ey can come back to bite the buyer. No one likes to be taken financially. If the offer is unrealist ically low, how-ever, negotiat ions can be s tymied by an insul ted seller who may refuse to consider fu ture counter offers.

Wi th help from a real es ta te sales associate and a little common sense, a buyer should be able to make a rea-sonable offer that j ump-s t a r t s negoti-a t ions with a seller, said Doug S t r a n a h a n , divisional president for

o Novi-based Century 21 Great Lakes Inc.

Remember , all agents you contact dur ing the buying process legally rep-resent the seller unless they have a specific writ ten agreement to work for you.

A good first s tep in the process is to compare the seller 's asking price with prices actually paid for s imilar homes in the same area within the pas t year.

Using data from local mul t ip le list-ing services, a sales associate can pro-vide a list of selling prices for s imilar homes and help the buyer make meaningful comparisons.

"Typically, a buyer 's first inclina-tion is to make an offer which is com-parable to one of the lowest recently accepted offers for similar houses . " S t r a n a h a n said. "The seller may not be overly en thus ias t ic about th i s type of first offer, but may not reject it ei-ther — as long as i t 's reasonable."

Another place to get information is the assessing depar tment or t reasur-er 's office at the municipal bui ld ing where the house is located. By law. residential properties must be as-sessed at one half of fair marke t val-ue.

An evaluation of selling prices may not be possible in a home tha t doesn ' t really compare with others in the area. In this case, the buyer could have the home's value professionally appraised

• 'Typically, a buyer's first inclination Is to make an offer which is comparable to one of the lowest re-cently accepted offers for similar houses. The seller may not be overly enthusiastic about this type of first offer, but may not reject K either — as long as It's reasonable.'

Doug Stranahan

Century 21 Great Lakes

There is always t h e risk, however, tha t another buyer could make an of-fer and purchase the home before an appraisal is completed.

In any case, researching selling prices of s imilar homes usually pro-vides a good figure t h a t can be used as a s tart ing point for the negotiation

process. An actual offer mus t be made in

writ ing a n d should be accompanied by a depos i t or earnest money. Since a purchase offer is legally binding, it may be wise to consult an at torney before s u b m i t t i n g that document .

" I t should contain a t ime limit for

the seller to accept, reject or negot ia te your offer," S t ranahan said.

Buyers demonstra te their serious-ness by submit t ing deposi ts with wri t ten offers. A deposit of five to 10 percent isn ' t abnormal , but a larger depos i t may be encouraging to the seller.

In a s i tuat ion where two buyers make the same offer, the seller will of ten select the buyer with the bigger deposi t .

" M a k i n g a well-researched offer and applying a reasonable a m o u n t of earnes t money best demons t ra tes a buyer ' s serious interest and en-courages the seller," S t r a n a h a n said. " T h e s e are the best s teps a buyer can t ake towards successful negotia-t ions . "

It is hard to answer your quest ion specifically without knowing exactly what the re la t ionship is between the management company and the attor-ney. Obviously, if the at torney repre-sented the management company or any of i ts principals, t h a t fact should have been disclosed to the association before the at torney was retained, clearly by the attorney, and probably by the managemen t company.

To the extent that the at torney is economically tied in with the man-agement company, which would oth-erwise preclude him for pursuing the m a n a u e m e n t company, arguably tha t fact should have been disclosed to the associat ion, which, presumably , re-

lied on the at torney to advise it in re-gard to its dealings with the manage-men t company, perhaps even in t h e ma t t e r of the management agreement .

T h e association in the f u t u r e should be mindful of retaining an at-torney who does not have any t ie - ins with the managing agent or the m a n -agement company tha t would affect h i s /he r ability to represent the best in teres ts of the association at all t imes .

Breaking ground: Farmington-based Hughes Management Group will convert to steel framing by 1994. The cost of lum-ber is caus-ing builders to look at this building alternative.

Builder lays framework for steel houses The high cost of lumber, partly caused by gov-ernment restrctions limiting the harvest of our forests and dwindling supplies of old-growth trees, has spurred builders nationwide to consider alternatives to wood framing.

Pointe and DADA president. "It was basically created for an auto show that was being put together, a very small show with eight or nine cars."

Seven hundred vehicles will be displayed and upwards of 50 new model introduced Jan. 8-16 at the North American International Auto Show sponsored by DADA at Cobo Center in Detroit.

But the dealers have other goals, too. ,

"An association is a group of businesses with a common bond," Tellier said.

"So many issues are out there from federal legislative regula-tions on emissions to state regula-tions regarding certification of mechanics. The association is a clearinghouse of information so that every member is aware of what's going on," he said.

Following are edited excerpts of a recent interview with Tellier and Alberts:

What do you t h ink your im-age is out t he re?

Tellier: Tha t ' s a tough ques-tion. We're such a high-profile group. We're at different points of a scale. For some people, we're at the bottom. For others, the top.

Alberts: If someone has a bad experience or a problem, they think everyone is like that. Unfor-tunately, things are not always in our control.

Tellier: When something goes wrong in a sales transaction or on a service basis and if a consumer, perhaps, isn't satisfied, if he gets to the media, it becomes a profile issue.

Dealers are now so concerned with customer satisfaction . . . they do everything in their power so that whatever a customer has coming, he gets.

What ' s the s t a t u s of your dis-pute with t h e Federa l T rade C o m m i s s i o n on d e a l e r s h i p hours of ope ra t ions?

Tellier: General terms of agree-

ment are there. We're waiting for final resolution in Washington.

Who was more right? It was ex-pensive litigation on govern-ment 's part and on the dealers' part. We went through three dif-ferent presidencies. The whole is-sue became moot because many dealers, due to market conditions, opened on Saturday.

Alberts: Now a lot of dealers are open on Saturday. All we're look-ing to do is leave it to individual dealers to decide and not let gov-ernment dictate hours.

Tellier: It's a very emotional thing. People who buy cars on Saturday aren't working. From a business standpoint, it (Satur-day) is one more day of overhead. You need a switchboard operator, someone to wash cars, sales staff, management.

What about the t r end to no-haggl ing s t icker pr ices?

Tellier: For every survey that said people are in favor of no-dicker sticker, another says peo-ple want to negotiate a price.

Alberts: That ' s why consumer satisfaction indexes are going into that.

Tellier: Another thing you have is trade-in (on a deal). You can get 20 qualified appraisers and you may get $500, $600 variance on a car. If a majority wants that (no-haggling), I assure you auto dealers will adjust to the trend.

Alberts: When you get into a big-ticket item, people want to ne-gotiate price.

What kind of job opportuni-t ies a re available a t dealer-sh ips?

Tellier: Obviously, you have dif-ferent sized dealers. One statistic I've seen is that the average deal-er hires 60 employees.

1 have 92 employees (total) at my two dealerships. Now, the pri-mary area a dealer needs employ-ees obviously is technician. It 's not like knuckle-busters. Today, technicians working on cars are very high tech.

When I was going through an appenticeship, mechanic was not looked upon as an outstanding career. Today, a well-trained mechanic is an important asset to any dealership.

There's always a need for sales-people. A salesman today has to be a very sophisticated person. Cars are sophisticated. We have anti-lock braking systems. The consumer wants to know what they do, why they're safer. People want to know about airbagB.

A parts counter person has to know how to find parts for repairs in the shop and consumers com-ing in. Everything is getting into computers.

We have consumer satisfaction experts, or whatever you want to call them, to make sure customers are satisfied and, if not, what we have to do.

What ' s the b igges t issue fac-ing your assoc ia t ion today?

Tellier: The immediate concern of dealers obviously is the change of taxes in Michigan, the (poten-tial for increasing) sales tax to a higher figure. We have such a high-priced commodity, an in-crease of one or two percentage points has a big impact on us.

What a r e s o m e of the th ings your m e m b e r s do that people might not know about or don ' t get a lot of a t t en t ion?

Alberts: We raised $1.1 million last year for children's charities with the auto show. Look at the good number of people we employ — 15,000. Tha t ' s a lot of people feeding families.

Tellier: Many are involved in community groups, Rotarians, Li-ons clubs. Members are active selling papers for the Goodfel-lows. We donate Resusci-Anne dolls for people learn to do CPR. Driver's ed cars . . . come from dealers.

In general, I'm very impressed at how many dealers are very in-volved.

"Basically, we've converted a frame house to steel, while taking advantage of the engineering strength of steel. We're not just replacing wood stud by stud. Our goal is to use steel to its greatest advantage, so that we can develop a superior product at an afford-able cost," Hughes said.

His company places steel studs 24 inches on center (wood studs are 16 inches apart), so construc-tion time is shortened and less material is used. Steel also offers greater design flexibility because it can be rolled to any size, while wood comes in specific lengths, Hughes added.

Why an alternative to wood framing?

Lumber prices have increased steadily since July, when the gov-ernment limited the harvest of forests in the Pacific Northwest to 80 percent of last year's yield.

Lumber prices rose about 10 percent from November to De-cember, and industry analysts won't be surprised by a similar increase in January, said Fred Ca-paldi, president of Farmington Hills-based Builders Association of Southeast Michigan and presi-dent of Capaldi Building, Roches-ter Hills.

"I t 's the old economic principle

• 'Basically, we've converted a frame house to steel, while taking advantage of the engineering strength of steel. We're not Just replac-ing wood stud by stud. Our goal is to use steel to Its greatest advantage, so that we can develop a superior product at an afford-able cost.'

of supply and demand," Capaldi said. "Today, we're concerned about our forestry products. For now, we have the supply, but we don't have permission to take it. Assuming we can't harvest as much as we'd like, man's ingenui-ty will come up with innovative ways to do things and steel fram-ing is one way."

Also, unstable lumber prices and uncertainty dbout future sup-ply (90 percent of the country's old-growth timber has been used) make it difficult for builders to price out new const ruct ion .

Meanwhile, steel prices have been unchanged since the early 1980s.

"As lumber prices increase, res-idential steel framing is bound to happen," said David Lubin, ar-chitect and partner in Bloomfield Hills-based Lubin/Tringali Asso-ciates. "I t hasn ' t caught on yet in southeast Michigan, b '.t I'm very impressed with the system. Steel is straight and stable, and it elim-inates many of the problems wood has."

Besides its stability, steel is made of 66-percent recycled mate-rial. something that Hughes and other environmentalists like.

Steel also is fireproof, it doesn't warp, shrink or rot, it resists bug infestation and there's no waste. Builders also say steel sections are more consistent than wood, which has to be checked for warp-ing and knots.

"Everyone in the industry is concerned about rising lumber prices, bu t sometimes these things come as a blessing in dis-guise," Capaldi said. "Remember, necessity is the mother of inven-tion. Sometimes change is diffi-cult, but I'd rather be out in front looking at new ideas than be the caboose trying to catch up."

Simulation focus: customer complaints Human Synergistics Interna-

Eighty percent of North Ameri-can jobs depend on the perform-ance of a service rather than the production of products, yet very

few service providers know how to effectively manage the process of assisting a customer with a com-plaint.

When a o m p l a i n t is properly handled, it offers an opportunity for product or service refinement as well as a chance to redeem a customer. If a complaint is mishandled, however, it could re-sult in both the loss of a customer and lasting damage to a compa-ny's good name, according to the company.

The Customer Complaint Situ-ation was designed to teach par-ticipants a process for effectively receiving a complaint, identifying and resolving the problem, and learning from the experience. The instrument was designed to be easily customized so that it would fit any organization.

Small teams of program partici-

pants are presented with a simu-lated but very realistic customer complaint situation and are asked to rank-order a series of action or activities involved in handling the complaint. In the process, they learn the different steps involved in handling a complaint and how they are interrelated.

The team decisions are then compared with to the customer service expert's ranking and ra-tionale; participants learn why these steps are important. At the same time, individuals learn the value of improved problem solv-ing when working in groups.

The Customer Complaint Situ-ation is the latest addition to Human Synergistics' series of widely used team-based Survival and Business Simulation.
