.Ire often tre.nted to surface decora­tion cailed engraving, whicli invoives excavation of the surface with a sharp instrument (known as a graver) to make iines, hoies, or trenches. Perhaps the most popuiar of ali engraved objects are cameos and intaglios. The cameo is a design (often a human profile) in flat relief, around which the background has been cut away Jntagiio is just the rpverse - the subject (profile) is cut away to create a negative image tiiat may be used to inake a seai in wax or ciay. intaglios were very popuiar with the ancient Greeks and Romans. O m e o s were partIcuiarlv popular in Bri ta in dur ing the Eiizabethan period, when they were given as gifts.

The important thing to keep in mind when it comes to buying jew­elry and gemstones of all types, is that one should chose a true profes­

sional, one who knows and loves his art. For anyone not totally fa'miliar with pem.stone.s, and fine Jewell^', k n o w i n g .•ind having confi­dence in his or her jeweier is of the utmost importance.

Once exclusively for the wealthy and famous, today

the advantages of above-ground burial are well

within the reach of all families. And for a limited

time, the distinction and convenience of nnausoleum

entombment ore even more affordable.

IViausoleum burial has long been favored because

it is clean, diy and ventilated, and affords year-round

visitation, regordless of the weather.

The cost compares favorably with in-ground burial,

because it eliminates lots, vaults, monuments or

memorials.

Just completed, our Chapel l^ausoleum addition

features a crypt wall of a Michigan scene in cost

bronze, plus skylights, beautiful stained g loss and

the finest marble and granite.

The rccenlly pubiisiicd STREAM MAP OF MiCHlGAN resemble.* linofher niap--linown lo Pennsylvania anglers as the "Losl Stream Map."

The "Stream Map of Pennsylvania" was ceniplelcd in 1965 after a thirty-year clfort by Howard itigbce, a former Penn Slate Professor.

Professor Higbce succeeded in cical-ing a map of tiie highesl detail possi-ble...a map that shows every siream and latic. He painscatcingly plotted by hand. Ihc localion of 45.000 miles of streams onto a .V\ 5 foot map.

Thc map sold extremely well-- unlil it was lost several years al'ier it first appeared in prinl. Incredibly. Ihe primer cnfnisled with the original drawing and printing plates, declared hanivruplcy. then carelessly hauled l-iigbee's .10 yc:irs of woric lo a landliil.

The few remaining dog-eared copies became a prized fisherman's posses-.-iion. Professor Higbee was offered S400 lor one of his ia.st maps. And stale agencies were forced io iccep iheir cop-its under iocic and licy.

Experts ioid Prole-ssor Higbec that icprinLs wen: impossibie. because the maps were printed in non-phoiographic biue. Then, in 199 i . ai ihc age of 91. Howard Higbec's dream came true. Computers made it po.ssibic to reprint the map. iioiding an updated map. Howard said, "1 never thought i'd iivc io .see this day."

Then, by comblniiig Prol'cssor Higbee's Itnowlcdgc wilh compuicr lechnoiogy--ihc STREAM MAP OF MICHIGAN wascicaied.

But it 's a lways fun lo compare . m d a rsue? I moan several of .\o\1's current seniors were part ol"

the proiirani the last time Novi made ihe team trip lo Batt le Creek.

W h a t I'Iii d o i n i i is p a i r i n g Ihe i w o t e a m s u p — match ina ihei r i^eneral s l a r i i n i i l i iu- i ips aya ins i e.ach other (on paper) and letUnq them ao ; i i It based mostly on accon ip l i shmenls as well as a few intan.aibles I've talked w l i h others about.

So wi thout i u r the r ad ieu , here are tile ma tchups , and the hypothetical winners i rom 103 to 275 . Some oi" the records of the 1997 squad may be a little off. but are relatively close to the best of my knowledge.

1 0 3 — D a n J i l g (42-9 i n 1997) v s . J o s l l C l i u r e U a (42-10 i n 2 0 0 0 ]

T h i s i s p r o b a b l y the m a t c h of the m a l c h . so lo speak . i l i e y Y e very s i m i l a r ( a l tho i i j ih J o s h hasn ' t placed at states yet)'. D a n n y was 42-9 . J o s h is 42-10. D a n w a s the Kens ins i ton \ ' a l l cy Conference champ , fifth at O a k l a n d Co . . th i rd at distr icts . J o s h was the K V C c l lan lp , th i rd a l O a k l a n d Co . . second at districts and second at regional.

Close to ca l l , y o u bet. C h u r e l l a Is lac t ica l ly sound wi th t remendous knowledge of the sport. J i l g was a \'ery strong 103 pounder who learned as he went on.

Head to Ilead. they're very close (statistically), but i f y o u pit these two k id s together o n the mat . I th ink D a n n y u i n s on pure s t rength alone. But it's a close match . I i h ink it comes down to a takedown or two. mavbe 6-4 or 5-2.

1 1 2 — R y a n C l u i s t e n s e n (18-17 i n 1997) Vs . C o i y N o b a c h (40-16 i n 2000)

In any other year, i n any other a rea of the slate . Nobach could easi ly be 47-9 or belter. B u t h a \ i n g lo face state qualifiers Tint Braf^g and Brooks Co/a r t in K V C action a coinlj lned live l imes doesn't help. He was a regional qualifier and finished second at t i ie Oakland Coun ty meet.

.-\s m u c h as Bakigna would l ike lo convince mc tha i he could beai Dodds. it's louuh for me lo swallow. B a l ­agna was an imporuml senior leader on lha i leail i . and h i ' had the mer i i s to prove i l . He was nearly a K \ ' C chan lp ion . los ing out lo .Mili'ord's J a s o n .-\mell at the league meet. He was a regionul qualifier and was la ler named lo HomeTomi ' s all-area second learn.

Dodds l ias spent the last four years tangling u i l h D a n J i l g . R y a n C h u r e l l a a n d a slew of other great wrestlers. Tha i has made hint tough his entire senior year, where he has placed second at the KX'C nleel a n d u-;is also a regional qualifier.

I have lo give D o d d s a s l igh t nod i n Ih i s l o u g h matchup. 7-5.

There's not a whole lot to say here. J i l g is the most accomplished wrestler in Novi history, and can wresl le wi th the best in the state. Iji.st year he was n i n n e n i p at 119. and has won every big Ineei he has wrestled i n i l l i s yea r (Oak land Coun ty , conference, d i s t r i c l a n d regional champ).

Re i t e r w a s a b o u t a .500 wres t l e r w h o w o u l d be pinned in this matchup.

C h u r e l l a has paved the w a r lo becoming the most accompl ished wrestler Novi has ever seen. He has w o n two-straight regional titles, one county title a n d w a s runnerup a l the state nleel a year ago. He wins this match , b u l it's closer than m a n y of his 50 wins this season. 9-3.

If the old t imers are going l o n lake a move, i t ' l l have to start here. C h u r e l l a was in his first year of wrest l ing back in 1997. but didn't look like a first-year wrestler. He finished second at the le.igiie nleet, was lhe district champion a n d qualified for l he stale ineet by placing four th at reg ionals . B y the end of the year, he h a d skipped the first few levels of u res t l ing and was ready lo t i ike h is place among the state's best as a senior.

Mi tche l l is i n the same boat as Dodds. ha t i ng wres­tled i n Lhe room with J i l g and Chure l l a for a couple of years now. He becatne a v i l a l par t of lhe teanl's suc­cess this year a n d was able to muster u p a third-place finish at the conference meet. He's tough no matter who he faces. Bu t Chure l l a would pu l l this one o u l 10-2.

Simon's record is in q i i cs l ion . One report has h i m a l 32-12 wii i le nnoiher has him winn ing 35 of 42 match­es at 140. Ei ther way lhe guy's a tough, tough coin-peli tor who may walk aw.iy wi th ; i close decision over Frev to keep ihings interesting. The score. 11-9.

How do y o u pick a winner here. Moore stood in the shadow of F a u l k n e r (a big shadow at that) for three years. He learned from the "Dozer." and played second fiddle on some good Novi teams.

B u t th is is .Moore's sen ior season and he is a bit more comparable (In size) wi th Dozer, thus m a k i n g this a v e r y good m a t c h u p . It 's k i n d of l i k e R o c k y a n d T o m m y G u n n . but n o i . Give Moore a slight adviuntage a n d a close 5-4 win to close things out.

In m y fantasy match , no one gets hur t a n d everyone shakes hands a l the end (ahhhhh). There are no hard feefings because the final score i s indicat ive of what these two teams accompl ished i n their respecuve sea­sons.

I've gotten some lowdowrl from several different peo­ple for this c o l u m n , i n c l u d i n g some tidbits from J . J . Ba lagna . T o m Fritz and B r a d Huss .

A move here, a move there might prove lo be the remedy the 1997 t eam needs to challenge the 2 0 0 0 ' squad . Maybe not.
