New home blues Family struggles waiting for builder to finish job B Y S C O T T D A N I E L STAFF WRITER [email protected]
Building a house can be a t ry ing experience under the best of circum-stances.
Financing, overseeing construction and selling the old home are just a few of the usual hurdles. Norm and Cindy Mackay have an added responsibility -namely, the care of their 20-year-old disabled daughter.
The Canton family has been living out of hotels for the pas t few weeks while the i r 2,000-square-foot condo-minium at Cherry Hill Pointe is being completed. According to Norm, the unit was supposed to be done by the end of June.
"It's like a bad situation-comedy," he said. "They said they had specific pro-jects to get specific things done by cer-tain dates. But tha t day would come and things wouldn't get done. There was no explanation."
It has made caring for his daughter, Jessica, much more difficult. The 20-year-old, who endures daily seizures

Only an estimated 3.2 percent of Michigan residents are unemployed, forcing employers to come up with creative ways to make sure some of the remaining 96.8 percent of the people a re working for t hem. In Canton, the 1999 unemployment rate was slimmer still - an estimat-ed 1.5 percent of a township work-force of nearly 34,000 was unem-ployed, according to f igures com-piled by the Sou theas t Michigan Council of Governments.
Canton Township, the township's sixth-largest employer, is looking at wha t other governmental entit ies are paying seasonal employees, vital
for traditional summer jobs such as groundskeeping, golf course and park maintenance. The township is also looking at raising pay to attract more workers.
"We f ind t h a t we have a h i g h turnover with seasonal employees," said Julie Morse, personnel analyst wi th Canton Township. "It 's j u s t rea l hard to find responsible and committed people to fill temporary positions."

an automobile accident on 1-96 in Livonia. Wayne County Cir- ' cui t Cour t J u d g e Geoage W. Crockett III passed sentence Fri-day at the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice in Detroit:
"What you did was foolish," he told Cappuccitti. "You were the senior of all four persons in that vehicle. In many ways, you con-t r i b u t e d to t he i r c o n t i n u i n g abuse of mind a l t e r i n g sub-stances."
S t a n Roberson , t he t een ' s f a t h e r , w a s " sa t i s f i ed" w i t h Crockett's sentence.
"All I wanted was for Sarah to have one full year to think about w h a t she ha s done," he sa id; "The biggest thing she could do to make restitution to me, per-sonally, would be to find God."
Cappuccitti was found guilty of negligent homicide by Crock-ett in May. She was behind the wheel of a 1988 Ford Tempo dur-ing the accident.

The Can ton r e s iden t apolo-gized to Roberson's family Fri-day.
"I know w h a t I d id was stupid," said Cappuccitti. "Alisha shou ld be he r e r i g h t now. I shouldn't."
She said Roberson was a true friend.
"Her h e a r t was bigger t h a n her body," Cappuccitti said. "She was a caring person."
Cappuccitti, Natalie Reynolds, Sa rah Vitto and Roberson, all Canton residents, were headed eastbound on 1-96 in Livonia at about 7:45 p.m. on Sept. 20.
Cappuccitti lost control near Newburgh Road a f t e r pass ing out. According to circuit court
testimony, all four of the young women were inhaling "Dust Off," a chemical used in cleaning com-puters, prior to the accident.
The Tempo crossed four lanes of traffic, went up the southern embankment of 1-96, through a fence, across the service drive and hit a tree broadside.
Roberson s u f f e r e d m a s s i v e i n t e r n a l i n ju r i e s and died en route to the University of Michi-gan Hospital in Ann Arbor. Cap-puccitti, Vitto and Reynolds suf-fered lesser in jur ies and have since made full recoveries.
Roberson's mother, father and sister addressed Crockett before sentence was passed on Cappuc-citti.
"Sarah killed t he best f r iend she ever h a d , " sa id Den i se Roberson, h e r mother . "She is st i l l l iving a l ife of pa r t y and d r u g s . H e r l i f e s t y l e h a s n ' t changed."
Alisha's sister said she never knew such pain existed.
"I Can't i m a g i n e f ac ing a greater loss in my life than los-ing Al i sha , " A m b e r Roberson added.
C a p p u c c i t t i could h a v e received as much as two years behind bars . Crocket t said he imposed p roba t ion so t h a t he might keep a closer eye on her.
"I plan to exercise control over you r b e h a v i o r , " he sa id . "As much as the law permits."
Cappucc i t t i wil l spend n ine m o n t h s in a w o m e n ' s j a i l in Hamtramck. She was assessed court costs and financial restitu-tion to the Robersons.

Theater plan moving1
forward, officials say B Y S C O T T D A N I E L STAFF WRITER [email protected]
The parameters of a "Partner-ship for the Arts" center in Can-ton are becoming clearer.
Indications are that a theater of 400-450 sea t s a t a cost of approximately $6 million could be built in Canton's Cherry Hill Village. Supervisor Tom Yack said the theater is far from being a done deal, however.
"Until the board sees the num-bers," he commented, "I'm not assuming there will be a com-mitment."
A f ea s ib i l i t y /bus ines s p lan s t u d y for t he center , which would include drama, music and other cultural activities, is in the process of being completed.
The s tudy was in i t ia l ly fin-ished in May, but was sent back for "tweaking" when a potential main user for the center pulled out , P a r t n e r s h i p for t he Ar ts s t e e r i n g commit tee m e m b e r Joan Noricks said. Final deci-sions about the size and scope of the center will be de termined
when the study is completed. "We knew it would be a long
process ," Nor icks sa id of t h e studies. "But we want to create a lovely theater for the community that won't be a white elephant."
It wasn't the center's first fea-sibility study. A 1998 work con-cluded that proper funding exists for a 500-800 seat center. It also gauged potential donors' interest in such a facility.
L a s t Ju ly , C a n t o n t r u s t e e s approved a second study. Its aim was to pinpoint potential users and establish a business plan.
The Plymouth Theater Guild has stepped forward as Partner-ship's main user. Yack said sev-eral profit and nonprofit organi-zations would likely use the cen-ter.
Initially, the Plymouth Sym-phony Orchest ra was going to s h a r e t he b u i l d i n g w i th t h e Guild. But Yack said it became clear that a theater large enough to accommodate both would sim-ply be too expensive.
"It was going to cost $9 to $11.5 million for 700 seats," he said. "We decided to go back to
something that was more afFofd* able." ?
Thus far , about $4 million is committed to the project. Canton has pledged half t h a t amount while $2 million more will come from local developers. The towi> s h i p is also p u r s i n g a s t a t e Depar tmen t of Commerce and Indus t ry grant , perhaps for as much as $750,000, said Yack.
He. t h i n k s a n y r e m a i n i n g funds needed to finish the center could be r a i s e d w i t h i n s ix months. Canton t rus tees must f irst sign off on the plan, Yacfe said. That could come sometime next month. £
The s u p e r v i s o r hopes t h e board will support the idea of a theater.
"The question is if the board is willing to look at cultural pro-g ramming the same way they look at rec rea t iona l program-ming," Yack said. "I hope they see it as an important part of the community. It's another element of the community you'd be pro-viding services for."

Sentencing from page Al
arranged marriage. In a d i s t r i c t court hear ing ,
C a n t o n police Detect ive Lew S t e v e n s t e s t i f i e d t h a t four kn ives we re used in Ramesh Sutariya's murder.
J(3ne was found on the apart-ment 's t i le foyer. Stevens said the." knife was bent at about a 90-degree angle.
'A% second knife was found in th6 living room next to a metal chair wi th rope tied to it. The knife, Stevens said, was broken with the blade adjacent to the
chair and the handle a few feet away.
A third bloody knife was found in the kitchen sink and a fourth shoved to the back of a utensil drawer, Stevens testified.
Dur ing t h a t s ame hea r ing , Wayne County Assistant Medi-cal Examiner Leigh Hlavaty told the court that Sutariya was cut and stabbed a total of 22 times.
Several blows were delivered to the 28-year-old's head, back, chest and abdomen. Sutariya 's lung had been punctured as well
as his bowel. Raj Sutar iya told Morrow he
was one of the first people to see Ramesh after the stabbing.
"The condition I saw my broth-er in," he said, "that memory is a t t he top of my mind. I can't focus on anything any more."
Lyon provided Morrow a long list of "mitigating factors" in the murder.
She wrote tha t Kinnari didn't want to marry Ramesh Sutariya, b u t w a s forced to because of Indian customs and traditions.
Lyon f u r t h e r s t a t e d t h a t t h e young woman was in love with a man in India but couldn't marry him because of her family's wish-es.
She wrote that Ramesh began applying extreme sexual pres-sure on, Kinnari as. soon as she arrived in the states.
Lyon stated, finally, that all of those circumstances caused the 20-year-old to commit an ac t entirely out of character for her.
"This is an aberration from her n o r m a l behav io r , " Lyon told
Morrow. S u t a r i y a ' apologized to
Ramesh's family. "I wish I could turn back and
change tha t day," she said crying and trembling. "I know I made a mistake."
Assistant Wayne County Pros-ecutor D a n Less a r g u e d t h a t Kinnari Sutariya simply wanted out of her marriage.
"Her i n t e n t w a s c l ea r , " h e added. "She wanted him dead."
In handing down his sentence,
Morrow told S u t a r i y a h e r actions were not "acceptable." P r o b a t i o n gu ide l i ne s recom-mended a sentence of 7% to llVa years.
Yash Su ta r iya , a cousin of Ramesh's, said Kinnari took his best friend away from him.
"He 's no t he r e b e c a u s e of someone t h a t was self ish," he told Morrow. "She didn ' t care about anybody but herself.
"It t akes a di f ferent k ind of person to do what she did."

Incumbent Robert A. Ficano and at least five of the six other candida tes seeking to become Democratic Par ty nominee for Wayne County sheriff have a c o m m o n concern: the depa r t -ment's future.
But the similarity ends there: Ficano, an attorney by training, believes the future must contin-ue innovative programs like his In te rne t "cybercop" uni t while the other candidates - four of whom are deputy sheriffs - want a return to more traditional law enforcement, with one of their own heading the department.
T h a t ' s w h a t su r faced in Observer i n t e r v i e w s wi th Ficano, who is seeking a f i f th consecutive four-year t e rm as sheriff, and five of the others in the Aug. 8 primary election.
Ficano, sher i f f since be ing appointed in April 1983 to fill a vacancy, faces Deputies Brian Keating, Richard LeGreair, Dar-ron McKinney and Marvin Tay-lor, plus private security special-ist Darren T. Yarbrough and a sixth candidate, Ronald Smith of Detroit, in the primary. All but Smith responded to interview requests.
The Democratic field is second largest in the last 10 years: In 1996, eight ran in the primary.
If Ficano wins Aug. 8, he will face Republican challenger Tim-othy Beck, a Detroit business-man, in the November general election.
Citing county budgetary prob-lems - the county has a nearly $ l l - m i l l i o n def ic i t and al l departmental budgets are tight -F icano says he is concerned "whe ther law enforcement is going to be a priority."
Ficano says his department —
« 1
Robert Ficano
which among other things oper-ates the three county jails, pro-tec t s t h e cour t s , p a t r o l s sec-ondary roads and county parks and assists municipal police as needed - can't function properly on the proposed budget.
The $6 mi l l ion t h e coun ty would add to h i s p r e v i o u s $105.5-million budget "is mis-leading," Ficano says, because it only covers the contractual pay raises for the 900 deputies and civilian staff.
'Core issue* "It does ngt address the core
i ssue" of t h e c o u r t - o r d e r e d staffing levels at the county jail, which his department lacks the funds to meet and which is cost-ing about $2 million a year in overtime, Ficano says. He says only t r a i n e d d e p u t i e s can be used there.
The proposed budget would cut ^ n a r c o t i c s deputies, he says. "You can ' t t a l k abou t closing down crack houses w h e n t h e
Brian Keating
people t h a t make the arres ts" are being eliminated, he says.
He's concerned that "some real innovat ive programs we have launched out on" may not contin-ue.
These include the I n t e r n e t Cr ime Task Force; t h e High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program involving churches and local enforcement agencies in conjunction with the federal gov-ernment ; the Juveni le Reality program which shows teenagers the possible results of misbehav-ing by taking them through the j a i l and morgue and even an
Darron McKinney
experimental program that gets jailed "deadbeat dads" into jobs after their release.
Defends 'cybercop' Ficano defends his I n t e r n e t
"cybercop" program, noting it not only goes after sexual predators and pedophiles, prostitutes, drug traffickers, online gamblers and the spread of the date-rape drug GHB, but also visits area schools to educate children, teachers and parents about protecting them-selves.
He says the "cybersex" un i t costs "a pit tance - $300,000 a
year ." It ha s a r r e s t ed 20 and seen four convicted.
Ficano says his re la t ionship w i th his deput ies is "actually very good" but warns the depart-ment will monitor their "appear-ance, attendance and actions ... We're not a lways going to be your fr iend" when i t comes to " the i n t eg r i t y of t h e d e p a r t -ment."
Deputy Brian Keating of Dear-born Heights, who works in the jail booking area, says the jails a r e so overcrowded t h a t 15 i n m a t e s a r e r e l e a s e d da i ly . "They're out there laughing at the system," he says.
He suggests t u r n i n g empty hospitals into minimum security detention centers. Ficano says r emode l ing expenses a re too h igh , but Kea t ing says, "You can't put a price tag on people's safety."
If elected sheriff, the 15-year depar tment veteran would put inmates on cont inual c leanup around Detroit and have them tear down crack houses.
He'd also have more deputies go a f te r burglars , car thieves, robbers and drug dealers instead of increasing cyber patrols.
Morale low He says department morale is
low and needs a sheriff trained in law e n f o r c e m e n t who wil l "stand up" for deputies and work to r e t a i n t hem. He also fee ls
Ficano's administration is "top-heavy" w i t h a p p o i n t e e s who ^ could be cut to save money. * ^
Deputy Dar ron McKinney p£ ' Detroit, who works in the courts ! t
and recently received a commen-i?
dation for catching, while of^- j', du ty , a p u r s e - s n a t c h e r w h o " attacked two nuns, agrees with-, v
Keating on the morale issue. / He says only deputies graduat- •
ing in t h e t o p f ive a t police^., academies get on road patrol; t h e ' o thers "go back to t he ja i l" toss work.
He says the administration is-top-heavy, with appointees who;%
have "no police'experience" giv-." ing orders to deputies.
He suppor ts an enforcement focus : "We n e e d to m e e t t h e ' (state) manda te " for basic enforcement, he says. If elected,,' "I will ge t pu t and do pol ice . work," he vows. , v
McKinney a l so be l i eves in* being proactive: He founded the Brown Bears, a volunteer mus i - ' cal act t h a t v i s i t e d s c h o o l s , . bringing children a message q f , r e s p e c t fo r e l d e r s and good behavior, and he wants to se$. the GED program brought back,, for those on short sentences.

After several tries, he finally got JAC to give him a completion date. When Mackay learned tha t it was the end of June, he was able to accept a bid on his cur-rent residence. He closed on May 10.
"I told them we had 60 days to vacate," Norm said.
When the end of June arrived and work w a s n ' t f in ished, he explained his circumstances to JAC.
"They told me they were doing the best they could," Mackay commented. "I said, ' that 's not good enough.'"
By July 10, he was forced to move Cindy and Jessica into a hotel. If delays continue, the 20-
year-old will ^ not be able to attend special classes. Cindy sa id J e s s i c a m u s t h a v e a p e r m a n e n t a d d r e s s for the Plymouth-C a n t o n School Dis-t r i c t to pick her up for the class s tar t ing July 23.
"We c a n ' t s tand on the side of 1-275 and h a v e them pick her up," the moth-er said angri-ly-
Cindy sa id Jessica hasn't been the same since t h e y were forced to move into the hotel.
"She's a lot more bored," she comment-ed. "She's not e a t i n g as much. There's also been some regres -sion in h e r behavior."
M a c k a y said she feels helpless.
"I feel l ike I 'm banging my head against a brick wall," she added. "I could do it if I didn't have to take Jessica into account for everything/'

The 11th District encompasses tiie townships of Canton, Van Buren, Huron and Sumpter as well as the cities of Belleville, Romulus and Wayne.
Bovitz, a newlywed, works as a certified public accountant. He thinks that know-how will be an invaluable tool on the commis-sion.
"The county needs someone l ike me who b r i n g s f inanc ia l expertise and audit experience," said Bovitz.
The commission* which watch-es over the budget process in Wayne County, currently lacks members wi th f inancia l back-grounds, he added. He plans to si t on t h e commission 's audi t committee if elected.
Wi th t he back ing of former 11th District and current state Rep. Bruce Patterson, R-Canton, Bovitz t h i n k s h e h a s a solid chance of beat ing both Bolden and Sullivan.
"The last two years Sullivan ha s sa t in meet ings," he said, "But he never s p e a k s up. He doesn't vote on key issues."
• 'The last two years (Commissioner John) Sullivan has sat in meetings. But he never speaks up. He doesn't vote on key issues.'

The Democrat, Bovitz adds , has not been accessible or visible in t he communit ies he repre -s e n t s . Su l l ivan a lso h a s n ' t worked with state legislators, he adds.
"Why hasn't he been a bridge between the state and county?" Bovitz asked.
He t h inks he h a s the r i g h t ideas for county government.
Bovitz said he sees "plenty of opportunities" to reduce the size of government. Organizational efficiency is the key, he adds, not higher taxes.
"I 'm by n a t u r e a n t i - t a x . I think there are alternative ways of funding.
"You can lower taxes and have the same services. I'm not out to
s h a k e - u p t h e county , b u t if" there's waste I'm out to find it."
Besides governmental efficien-cy, Bovitz sees Metro Airport as-another key issue. •.
"It's not world class in t e rms" of image or operations." -
He t h inks the addi t ion of a" new Northwest Airlines termi-nal will help. Bovitz said it will' increase revenues at the airport,' which should in tu rn allow for-further improvements.
"The money will be t h e r e . I' think the midfield terminal is a" step in the right direction."
He also be l i eves economic,; d e v e l o p m e n t is on t h e r i g h t track in the 11th District. Bovitz thinks development, which has exploded in Canton, will move to' Van Buren , Belleville, among other communities. He sees his, role as a facilitator. ,
"If I can help I will. If you'rev
pro-business, you're not neces-. sarily anti-worker."
Bovitz is a Trenton'native. He-said he's already familiar with-. much of the district.
"Canton and Wayne are the only new (areas) in the district ' for me."
Problems: The Mackays have moved to two different hotels since selling their house and have a $40,000 construction loan tied up in their yet-to-be-completed condominium.
The Mackays were schedule to close on the condo Friday, but were left in the dark when JAC r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s d idn ' t show. Norm Mackay said he was con-s ider ing canceling t h e en t i r e deal.

County launches senior drug card B Y R I C H A R D P E A R L STAFF WRITER [email protected]
Wayne County has begun mailing enrollment forms for its new, free County Card prescrip-tion drug discount program to the county's 400,000 senior citi-zen residents.
Forms also are available at county libraries, senior centers and at all CVS pharmacies in metropolitan Detroit. CVS is the national drugstore chain partici-pating in the program, which is scheduled to begin Sept. 1.
Modeled after a similar senior d iscount drug program in Macomb County, Wayne Coun-ty's County Card will offer resi-dent seniors 60 and over from 5 to 30 percent off on prescription medications.
Average savings are estimated at 20 to 30 percent and "unlike other programs, every single purchase will receive a discount of at least 5 percent," said Trisha Ste in , executive director of Wayne County HealthChoice, which is administering the card program.
All seniors need to do is sign and return the enrollment forms
1 'I'm pleased that the County Card program has come together. It will make a big differ-ence to thousands of seniors in Wayne Coun-ty/
Ed McNamara County Executive
and the county will mail them their County Card, according to Stein.
The cards are good at the more than 250 CVS pharmacies statewide and also will be hon-ored by the chain's 4,100 phar-macies nationwide.
In addition, seniors will be able to receive prescription dis-counts through some mail-order services. Such discounts are expected to be even greater than in-store discounts, according to Stein.
Seniors can call 1-800-777-1023 for answers to enrollment and prescription questions. The telephone service operates 24

"I'm pleased that the County Card program has come togeth-er," said County Executive Edward H. McNamara in announcing the program Wednesday. "It will make a big difference to thousands of seniors in Wayne County."

but it got no support from the sheriff and disbanded after four years, McKinney says.
Deputy Richard LeGreair of Detroi t , also assigned to the courts, calls for "more visibility" by s h e r i f f s deput ies on the streets and says he doesn't think enough effort is spent in protect-ing the elderly and seniors.
Deputy Marvin Taylor of Detroit, a former radio disc jock-ey who ran for Detroit city coun-cil in 1993, says more officers on
the road would reduce road rage. The department is "not visible enough as a deterrent."
Darren T. Yarbrough, the non-deputy, is a former Army Special Forces weapons officer who works with deputies in his role as supervisor for the tactical enforcement group of Hunters International. The firm contracts with Wayne County to assist in finding those who fail to appear in court and also provides per-sonal protection teams.
He calls for, among other things, a step up in patrols to stop drug and firearms traffick-ers and would develop a juvenile boot camp s imi lar to tha t in Oakland County.
He also says the s h e r i f f s department lacks official accredi-tation and would get it through the Commission for Accrediting Law Enforcement Agencies, which he says recently granted accreditation to the Ann Arbor Police Department.

McNamara, concerned about the high cost of prescript ion drugs, especially for seniors liv-ing on fixed incomes, had asked Deputy County Executive Michael Duggan earlier this year to develop a program to ease the burden.
Skyrocketing prescription drug costs, up to $2,000 a month in some cases, has created a huge demand from seniors across the country for help.
"Big health care companies get huge discounts from pharma-cies," said Duggan. "By banding together, we're going to get the same discount for our senior citi-zens."
Duggan is credited with initi-ating the HealthChoice and the PlusCare programs, which pro-vide health insurance to low-income families and indigents.
HealthChoice, the county-run small-business medical insur-ance program, pays an annual $8 per member fee to Pharma-Care of Rhode Island, which is coordinating the program with CVS, according to Stein.
PharmaCare, a pharmaceuti-cal benefits manager, has con-tracts with health maintenance organizations nationwide and also with the Depar tment of Defense.
HealthChoice is maintained by funding from Urban Hospital Care Plus, a nonprofit which arranges health care benefits for the uninsured in Wayne County.
Engler signs bill cutting phone rates; Ameritech may sue BY MIKE MALOTT HOMETOWN NEWS SERVICE [email protected]
Michigan te lephone cus-tomers are in for a break on ra tes now t h a t Gov. John Engler has signed a bill intend-ed to spur local phone company competition into law.
The cut in fees will include elimination of the $3.28 access fee, or "end user line charge," and a new requirement tha t the phone company consider calls to adjacent calling areas as "local" calls r a t h e r t h a n "local toll" calls.
The breaks should show up on bills in September, unless Ameritech files suit. Company officials have indicated to the Michigan Public Service Com-mission that they are consider-ing legal action. The company estimates the cost of the elimi-nation of the access fee alone at $157 million annually.
Lawmakers did away with it when they passed House Bill 5721 on the grounds it mir-rored a fee already assessed Under federal law, essentially
double dipping Michigan cus-tomers. The bill also eliminates a similar access charge of $3.50 assessed to GTE customers.
"The main goal of this legis-lation is to increase competi-tion for local phone services, which will provi^ more choic-es for consumers," said Rep. Mary Ann Middaugh, R-Paw Paw, a t the signing of bill Monday, July 17. Middaugh along with Rep. Marc Shul-man, R-West Bloomfield. craft-ed the bill.
Shulman initiated the pro-posal because previous a t tempts to deregulate locaJ phone service in Michigan failed to produce real competi-tion.
Along with eliminating the $3.28 charge and the require-ment for free calls to adjacent a reas , the bill res tores the authority of the PSC -to oversee' telephone service providers. It will make the PSC the "compe-tition cop," according to propo-nents, to encourage competi-t ion against Ameritech and GTE by upstart companies.

Gasoline prices fall in state
Prices at gas pumps across Michigan have declined for a fourth straight week - down 42 cents per gallon since June 19, according to AAA Michigan's weekly "Fuel Gauge" survey. The statewide average for self-serve unleaded is currently $1,658.
This week's average is 12.9 cents lower than a week ago ($1,787). The per-gallon price is now the lowest it has been since the first week in June, but still 46.4 cents per gallon higher than a year ago at this time.
In the metro Detroit area, the average for self-serve unleaded is $1,721 per gallon, down 13.3 cents from a week ago, but 55.6 cents higher than a year ago. The metro Detroit average has fallen 42.4 cents in the last four weeks.
Statewide, the Auto Club sur-vey found per-gallon prices rang-ing from $1,459 to $1,839.
Michigan's boaters also will find some relief at the pumps. The statewide average for no-lead gas dropped 6.6 cents from last week to an average of $2,253 per gallon, and the average diesel price is down 3.2 cents at $1,654. Those averages are up from last year 66.3 cents and 34.4 cents respectively.
Metro-Detroit-area marinas are reporting averages of $2,262 for no-lead gas, down 11.8 cents from last week, and $1,736 for diesel, down 1.5 cents from a week ago. A year ago, the no-lead average in Metro Detroit was $1;555 and the diesel aver-age was $1,341.

Center takes applications
The Learning Center a t Madonna University in Livonia is currently accepting applica-tions for its fall term, which begins Monday, Sept. 18. Since enrol lment is l imited, parents/guardians must submit an application form before Mon-day, Aug. 7. Early applications will allow sufficient time for an assessment of each s tuden t before classes begin.
The tu tor ia l sessions are designed for students from the first through 12th grades who are experiencing difficulty in reading and its related skills. Individual or group instruction (two students) is available.
Classes run from Monday, Sept. 18, through Thursday, Dec. 7.

appointed by the governor, serve without compensation the length of that governor's term and be required to maintain a Michigan residence.
Hie state's bard would serve in a host of ceremonial occasions, McCotter says, and also help facilitate a deeper appreciation of poetry throughout the state.
The senator, who got strongly into l i terature as a collegian, waxes both poetic and political about his proposal.
"Poets live to reveal and con-vey the rich t a p e s t r y of our human experience," he explains. "As a conservative who believes
people must always apply a rea-soned understanding of human na ture and history to govern-mental issues, I believe it is time (that) we legislators give (poet Percy Byshhe) Shelley's 'unac-knowledged legislators' the i r due."
Br inging up Seger, says McCotter, "made a lot of people think about the role of poetry" in the i r everyday lives, "a lot of people who never thought about it" before.
"Song lyrics are verse," notes McCotter, citing as proof the lyricism of 19th century English poet Samuel ("Rhyme of the
Ancient Mariner") Coleridge. "When it 's a t i ts best, i t is
poetic," McCotter says. "Seger's songs describe a way of life of many people. Many people can relate to his lyrics."
McCotter cites Seger's "Feel Like a Number" protest song and says he's incl ined to put the lyrics on the desks of his fellow legislators when they enact a law.
"People feel like cattle," he says. "Anything we can do to stress the primacy of the individ-ual over government, we want to do. By emphasizing poetry, we stress the primacy.
'The qual i t ies of sympathy and empathy in this society can always be enhanced," McCotter says. "Also, we can get govern-ment officials to know there 's more to life than jus t passing laws."
But why Seger? "All we did was just show the
range of poetry we have from Michiganders," says McCotter, who also suggests Jim Harrison, the best-selling Lelanau author ("Legends of the Fall") and Ypsi-lanti-born bard James Oster-burg, along with Ann Arbor's famous rock 'n' roller.

Encore performance National tournament returns after a year away
Top shots: Among those who will compete at the National Target Champi-onships in Canton are Olympic team members Butch Johnson (above) and Denise Parker (right) w, ch has Olympic team experience; indeed, both have won medals. Johnson was an integral part of the U.S. gold-medal winning team in 1996, and Parker won a bronze medal as a 14-year-old member of the 1988 team.
After a year's absence, the National Target Champi-> onships are returning to Heritage Park in Canton. -
In 1997 and 1998, the National Archery Association" of the United States visited Canton for the week-long event and thoroughly enjoyed the visit* according t(* Bill Kellick, NAA communications and media relations" manager. But then their contract wasn't renewed. I
"They didn't want to last year," Kellick said. The NAA took i ts t o u r n a m e n t to Miami Univers i ty i n Oxford, Ohio, for last year's target shoot.
Whatever t he reasons were for not br inging the archers back in 1999 were reconsidered this year. The. NAA and the township have signed a three-year deal' that will extend through 2002.
Which means some of t he br ightes t s t a r s of the archery world — and one whose fame generates from sC different medium — will be on hand next Sunday when the 116th version of these championships get underway.
More than 550 archers are expected to compete for honors, including both the men's and women's U.S.' Olympic teams, which will use the event as one of their,, final tune-ups for the Sydney Olympics.
Returning for the women's team is Janet Dykman, a(. -national team member since 1990 and winner .at the; national target meet two years ago. The top qualifier; at the U.S. Olympic Trials, Dykman was ranked 17th-in the world and third in the nation entering July. *
Also back is Denise Parker, who earned an Olympic: team bronze medal at 14 in 1988 and who ranks as a five-time nat ional outdoor and seven-time national indoor champion. Parker was 26th in the world and-fourth in the nation (through June).
The^third women's team member lacks the experi-ence ,fe.uts;ftot the talent . It 's Karen Scavotto, an 18--year-ol$";S$m Enfield, Conn., whose impressive resume

;pionfeM|is^and holder of five junior national outdoor records one national junior indoor record. Scavotto jg r&nk6ii|':fifth in the world and first in the nation.
^ got potential," said Kellick of the women's-Ol^npic team. "They have an outside shot (to medal a t the "Myinpics). They won the (Golden Arrow) Grand-Prix of Turkey in April." >
The U.S. men 's t eam, which won the t eam gold medal at the '96 Olympics, is led by three-time mem--ber Butch Johnson. Johnson won the U.S. Nat ional . Outdoor t i t le in 1996 and 1997, and was the U.S. National Indoor champ six times, including 1995-99.; Johnson holds the world records for an 18-arrow match" (179), a 36-arrow finals total (344) and an indoor 12-;
arrow match (120); he is ranked 11th in the world and first in the country. ,
Joining Johnson is Rod White, another returnee from the. '96 gold medal-winning squad and a two-time winner of the* intermediate division title both indoors and outdoors. White? is 76th internationally and tied for 16th nationally.
The third team member is Vic Wunderle, winner of the 19S8 National Target title and twice the National Outdoor champ. Wunderle was the U.S. Intercollegiate champion three times, won four Junior National Outdoor t i t les and three Junior National Indoor crowns. Wunderle is ranked sec-, ond in the nation and 15th in the world.
This t o u r n a m e n t will be t h e f ina l even t p r io r to t h e Olympics for the women's team. The men will compete at the-Grand Prix of Poland before leaving for Sydney.
Heritage Park will be open for practices Friday and Satur-day. The Clout Tournament, in which archers shoot a t a circle on the ground from great distances (men's compound, 185 meters; men's recurve and women's compound, 165 meters; women's recurve, 125 meters; youth, 110 meters), will be next Sunday (July 30) beginning at 2:30 p.m.
The premier event, the U.S. Open, will begin a t 8:45 a.m.-' Friday, Aug. 4.

'Dogs can't catch Huskies What a finish! The Bulldogs trailed by four goals
with less than a minute left in the sec-ond period. Even af ter Jason Basile scored to narrow tha t deficit against the Wolverines to 5-2 with 46 seconds left, the promise seemed short-lived when the Wolves' Jason Lawmaster (from Westland) answered with nine seconds r e m a i n i n g in t he per iod, restoring that four-goal lead.
But the 'Dogs weren't ready to sur-render yet. Basile scored again with four seconds left in the second period to make it 6-3 and ignite his teammates, who went on to outscore the Wolves 6-1 in the third period for a 9-7 victory in their Metro Summer Hockey League regular-season finale Thursday at the Plymouth Cultural Center.
Alas , it wasn ' t enough to l if t the Bulldogs into the top spot. They fin-ished the season second at 9-1-1 (19 points), just behind the regular-season champion Huskies (11-1, 22 points).
The result finalizes the MSHL post-season playoffs. The Huskies , who played 12 regular-season games (the other six teams played 11 each), has an opening-round bye.
The Bulldogs meet t he last-place (and winless) Broncos at 7 p.m. Mon-
day; on Tuesday, the third-place Spar-tans face the sixth-place Wolverines at 6:30 p.m. and the fourth-place Lakers go against the fifth-place Wildcats at 8 p.m. All games will be played at the Cultural Center.
The Huskies meet the winner of the Lake r s -Wi ldca t s game a t 8 p .m. Wednesday in one semifinal; the Bull-dogs-Broncos winner plays the Spar-t ans -Wolve r ine s w i n n e r a t 8 p .m. Thursday in the other semi.
The MSHL championship game is at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at the Cultural Cen-ter.
Brian Grant and Matt Grant (both from Livonia) each scored two goals in the decisive third period for the 'Dogs. Br i an W i s h a r t (Can ton) and Troy Milam also had goals in the period; Ian Smith accounted for the Bulldogs' first goal of the game, midway through the second period after the Wolverines had taken a 4-0 lead.
Lawmaster finished with three goals. to lead the Wolves; Chris Powroznik (Redford) and Wes Blevins added two goals apiece.
Karl Kliemann was in goal for the 'Dogs; Rick Marnon (Canton) was in the net for the Wolverines.
Wolverines 13, Broncos 5: A three-goal flurry in a five-minute span of the second period gave the Wolverines the cushion they needed Thursday against the winless Broncos.
A six-goal third period ensured they would keep it.
Dave Street, Chris Powroznik, Kyle McNeilance and Nick Lewarne each scored two goals for the winners. Other scorers included F r a n k Bourbonais, Jason Lawmaster, Joe Jones, Joe Kus-tra and Jeremy Motz.
The Broncos got goals from Matt Van Heest, Nick Anselm, Jason Asadoorian, Ryan McCabe and Erik Hawkins.
Mark Lavender and Rick Marnon split time in goal for the Wolves. Bran-don Hothem and Brenden McMahon divided time in goal for the Broncos.
Bulldogs 14, Spartans 9: The Bull-dogs broke loose in the last five min-utes of the second period, outscoring the Spartans 4-1 in that span to break out of a 6-6 tie and cruise to the victory

Regaining form Fusion keeper trying to battle his way back B Y BRAD EMONS SPORTS WRITER [email protected]
• There's no place like home to cure w h a t a i l s you. J u s t ask Miami Fus ion goalkeeper Jeff Cassar. . The former Livonia Churchill High product will have a ra re opportunity to play in his home s ta te when his t eam faces off aga ins t t he Premier Develop-m e n t L e a g u e Mid-Mich igan Bucks , 7:30 p .m. T u e s d a y at "VVhite Pine Stadium in Saginaw Township.
The Bucks, a group of college and post-college amateur play-ers, are t ry ing to move up the soccer ladder. They are co-owned by Livonia natives Dan and Jim Duggan.
What's a t stake is a berth in the quar te r f ina l s of the oldest running national soccer tourna-m e n t , t h e L a m a r H u n t U.S. Open Cup. • "I came in over the winter and played with my friends and we had a lot of fun a t t h a t indoor place in Wixom (Total Soccer)," (passar s a i d . "We j u s t h a d a blast.
"I'm excited about coming here because I'll be seeing my family and friends. I still have a lot of
mm
fr iends in Livonia. I 'm looking forward to it and going out with my fami ly and f r i e n d s af ter -wards."
The 26-year-old Cassar, who s ta r red collegiately a t Florida In t e rna t i ona l , h a s endured a roller coaster career in the MLS, the country's premier profession-al league.
Injuries have taken their toll on Cassar, considered during his early years as one of the coun-try's most promising keepers.
After starting the first seven games th i s season for t he Fusion, Cassar injured his groin and lost his starting job to back-up Nick Rimando.
C a s s a r ha s p layed in n ine games, sporting a record of 2-2-4 with two shutouts and a goals against average of 1.16.
Meanwhile, Rimando has gone 5-6-1 in 12 games with a goals against average of 1.83 with a pair of shutouts.
Cassar also got caught in the crossfire of a coaching change when Ray Hudson took over for Ivo Wortmann.
"This season has been a major up-and-down," said Cassar, who
played 15 games for the Fusion in 1999 and 21 in 1998 a f t e r coming over f rom the Da l l a s Burn. "Due to injury I've lost my spot and it's left a bitter taste in my mouth.
"I w a n t to be t h e s t a r t i n g goal ie , b u t t he i n j u r y h a s enabled him (Rimando) to come in and t a k e the job, and he ' s done well."
Cassar ha s endured nothing but injuries since he turned pro-fessional in 1996 when Dallas selected him in the first round (eighth overall) in the MLS col-lege draft.
In 1997, i n j u r i e s kep t h i m from playing a single game with t h e B u r n . In 1998 wi th t h e Fus ion , Cas sa r f in i shed 12-9 with a 1.95 goals-against aver-age, but he was sidelined by a s t r a ined r igh t quad for t h r e e g a m e s and missed six more games at the end of the season wi th a par t ia l ly to rn anter ior c ruc i a t e l i g a m e n t (which required post-season surgery).
Last season, Cassar started 12 games, but had his season cut short when he needed surgery again to remove a screw from his left knee.
"Right now I'm healthy, but I could be hurt by tomorrow," Cas-sar laments. "It's disheartening.

"That part of my life (family) couldn't be better," Cassar said. "This is my home away f rom home. The players we have here are top class. We have some fab-ulous players, some of the best in the MLS. I love Miami, but the situation is I've got to be playing.

The Bucks recently clinched the Great Lakes Division cham-pionship of the PDL for the fifth consecutive year.

"I'd get there early," Dan Dug-gan said. "If we win, t h a t will give us $10,000 in prize money and get us to the quarterfinals.
"We should be p r e t t y confi-dent, especially after what hap-pened in Foxboro, but you really don't expect a team like ours to keep beating MLS teams.
"I'm sure the Fusion are going to take this game seriously. Our crowd is going to be wild and we hope t h a t ' s an i n t i m i d a t i n g advantage."
Duggan also looks forward to seeing Cassar play.
"He is a money goalie and I think he'll play," the Bucks co-owner said. "I certainly hope so. If he's healthy, he's world-class." .

Art Ferguson is hop-ing the third time is the charm. He'll know for sure by Saturday after-noon.
Ferguson, a native of Rochester Hills, is com-pet ing today th rough Saturday in his th i rd BASS Masters Classic. Largely considered to be the Super Bowl of compet i t ive f i sh ing , th i s year ' s Classic is being contested out of
Chicago, 111., on Lake Michigan and con-necting waters.
With 46 of the world's best bass fish-ermen - including last year's champ, Davey Hite - going head-to-head, win-n i n g t h e Class ic and the $100,000 stipend that goes with it is certainly no easy feat.
But w h e n Fe rguson says he 's approaching the tournament with every intention of winning it, he's not making
BILL PARKER
the statement in jest. Ferguson's first tas te of the Classic
came in 1990 when he qualified through the BASS Federation. He was basically an ama teu r , competing aga ins t sea-soned veterans.
"I remember that first tournament. I was just shaking," Ferguson/said Tues-day night, from his hotel room in Chica-go. "I didn't know what to do from one minute to the next. They keep you very busy here with press''conferences, auto-g r a p h sess ions , m e e t i n g s , s p o n s o r appearances, things like that. There's a lot more going on than just fishing and it can be overwhelming at times.
"But it's a lot different this year. That was the 20th anniversary of the Classic and this is the 30th. Now I'm at peace with everything and my confidence is up."
Ferguson attributes that peacefulness and a big portion of his success to a strong religious belief, something lack-ing in his life unti l a year ago. When asked what the biggest difference was
between his first berth in the Classic and t h i s one he quickly responded , "Jesus Christ."
While his newfound spirituality has calmed his nerves and brought h im peace of mind and confidence, hours and hours of fishing, through competition and guide services on Lake St. Clair during the summer and Florida's Lake Okeechobee in the winter, have refined his fishing ability.
Since that first Classic appearance 10 years ago Ferguson has logged bet ter than 2,200 days on the water.
Ferguson placed 18th in last year 's Classic, held on the Mississippi Delta in Louisiana, and is enjoying the best sea-son of his career this year.
He finished fifth in the season point standings in the prestigious BASSMAS-TER Top 150 to ea rn a ber th in t he Classic. Not only that, but he's coming off his first professional victory, having won the final Top 150 event of the sea-son in May on Alabama's Lake Wheeler.
"I feel pretty confident," he said.
Tuesday offered pa r t i c i pan t s the i r final day of practice and 25 mph winds kept the anglers off Lake Michigan.
Most concentrated their efforts on the Calgag River, which F e r g u s o n feels could prove to be an advantage.
"It wasn't a real productive practice day for anyone, but t h a t could be an advantage for nfe," he said. "It didn't allow the rest of the guys a chance to go out and find fish. Because I'm from up here, I probably fish the Great Lakes more than most so tha t a benefit.."
Three other Michigan anglers - Kevin Van Dam, of Kalamazoo, Kim Strieker of Howell, and Phillip Jones of Holland - have also qua l i f ied for t h i s year ' s Classic, giving Michigan it's largest rep-resentation ever.
The bass fishery in the waters around Chicago isn't anything like tha t of Lake St. Clair, according to Ferguson.
"They probably have less t h a n one-percent of the fish t h a t we have," he sa id . "They don ' t h a v e n e a r l y t h e amount of (bass habitat) tha t we do."
Because of t h a t lack of f i sh , don^t expect any record-breaking catches'Tto win the tournament. "
"We've been ta lking about tha t (tfcte winning weight) and everyone feel&Tjt will probably take between 32 and '36 pounds to win it. I don't think it will be a tournament anyone will dominate" I t will be close." ^
With things going his way, Ferguson is a solid contender for the top spot; rm this year's tournament. If the third ti£?e really is the charm, Michigan might ju^t get it's first BASS Master Classic cham-pion.

Old-timer? This senior has scores anyone would want B Y P A U L B E A U D R Y STAFF WRITER [email protected]
At 74, J i m Briegel says the only time he plays tournament golf any more is for sentimental reasons. . It 's been a pret ty good week
for s en t imen t for the Redford Township resident.
Last weekend, Briegel, a four-t ime winner of the Ann Arbor Men ' s City Golf Tournament , came in s ix th in the champi-onsh ip f l igh t , j u s t four shots b e h i n d w i n n e r David P ing — ;young enough to be his grand-son.
On Monday, Briegel teed off in the Detroit Newspapers Tourna-m e n t of Champions a t Boyne 'Mountain 's Monument Course,
made Tuesday's cut and wound up winn ing the Super Senior f l igh t by the comple t ion of Wednesday's round.
"My wife keeps thinking that I punish myself for playing," said Briegel, a retiree from Brown-Brumf i e ld P r i n t i n g in Ann Arbor. "But I love it. I still hit the ball pretty long for my age."
The three-handicap does pret-ty well, too. Playing most of his golf out of Glenhurst Golf Course on Six Mile, he's shot his age 20 times this year and 37 times last year.
"Glenhurst is a short course, but I feel I'm playing poorly if I play there and don't shoot my age," sa id Briegel , who is a s t a r t e r a t t he U n i v e r s i t y of Michigan Golf Course two days a
week. "I've only played two tour-neys this year — both in the last week. I love the Tournament of Champions. I play more for the sentimentality of it."
Sentiment found him entering the Ann Arbor City Tournament a t Les l ie P a r k as he won the tourney in 1957, 59, 60 and 63. He shot a 79 on Friday, but the rain washed out the first round. Briegel came back with an 80 on the second day, but came back with 75 on the final day to finish sixth.
"If I 'd have pa r red the f inal ho le , I 'd h a v e shot my age," l a m e n t e d Briegel , who didn ' t know until Thursday where he'd f inished. "I had no illusions of winn ing it, so I took off r ight a f t e r I f inished my round and

Monday found him in the first round of the T of C — an invita-tional run by the Michigan Sec-tion of the Professional Golfers of Amer ica . The t o u r n e y br ings t o g e t h e r w i n n e r s of some 50 tournaments in the state — such as t he Mich igan Open, t he Michigan Men's and Women's A m a t e u r , t h e Michigan High School Athletic Association indi-vidual medalists.
The exemptions for the win-ners range from one or two years up to a l i f e t ime one. Br iegel
e a r n e d h i s spo t by v i r t u e of Michigan Publinx Senior titles in 1979, 82 and 88.
"The f i r s t d a y I sho t a 76, which I t h o u g h t was a p r e t t y good round, considering it was extremely windy for about t he last 10-12 holes I played and the fact I didn't get to get a practice r o u n d in a t t h e course ," sa id Briegel, who was tied for 38th. "I was very fortunate to come in as well as I did."
Things changed on Tuesday a bit. Briegel golfed the first day from the white tees, but Super Seniors (age 70 and over) were supposed to golf from the shorter red tees.
"It hurt me a bit," said Briegel. "I still hit the ball fairly long arid I didn't know where to h i t the shots. I got myself in trouble and that was a whole new experience for me."
Still, his round of 78 left Mm tied for 68th overall and allowed h im to m a k e t h e cu t i n t o Wednesday's f inal round. And even though he carded an the final day, it was enougfr-$o win the Super Seniors division^
"I'd played for s ix th-s t ra ight days and on the fifth day, J s t a t -ed f ee l ing t h e f a t i g u e , Briegel. "I know by the final <fa > I was flat out tired." •>*-!

a dip net and begin sampling the lake or s t ream bottom, they are always amazed at the things they find. Many times I am amazed, too.
Most recently I . enjoyed the reactions of the stu-. dents trying to catch some small . fish along the shore and their wrin-, kled noses when they probed their
fingers through the bottom debris to , find some of the small "unknown"
critters. V J:"A neat bug
One student discovered a large mayfly nymph. It was about two inches long with a dark fringe of gills on both sides of the abdomen. This was the first t ime someone had captured one of these nymphs dur-ing a pond study.
It was a burrowing mayfly nymph tha t fishermen often call a wiggler. They serve as a nice tasty morsel for a fish.
Trout fishermen wait anxiously for the Hex hatch, which is when a large mayfly nymph t ransforms into a winged adult. During this trans-formation the adults rise from the nymph's burrows in t remendous numbers, providing a feast for wait-ing fish.
Many people recognize a mayfly adult, but because people don't spend much time dipping in the
- water with a net, they do not recog-• nize these insects in their immature
stage. That is the excitement of explor-
ing the underwater world. New dis-coveries of something common also intrigues people.
They have gills Burrowing mayflies have gills
tha t wave and create a current tha t draws water into the burrow. New supplies of water are needed to bring in dissolved oxygen. They also have branched tails tha t probably help to anchor them in their bur-row.
Burrowing mayflies position themselves vertically in the mud or bottom debris. Their head is pointed upward. Well-developed tusks are designed to grasp food t h a t comes
; within their reach. - T In streams, the current brings a ; constant supply of food pas t the * burrow. Those species in a lake
•; must rely on prey happening within % reach or prey being funneled into ; ' t h e burrow by their manufactured 1t current. ', •C Not all mayfly nymphs are found ; in burrows. Many nymphs are ' crawlers. Their well-developed legs
allow them to hunt under and between rocks for suitable prey of smaller animals. Some are plant eaters, but most are predators.
There are some stream-inhabit-ing mayflies tha t have little attach-ment discs tha t allow the nymph to cling to a rock without being washed away by the current .
Mayflies tha t live in s t reams are often flat shaped. A flat shape allows them to be streamlined and allows the current to push them against the bottom debris. They have developed a body s t ructure tha t requires the least amount of
. energy to survive.
< Better at swimming Other mayfly species are bet ter
a t swimming. Their bodies produce a wave-like action tha t propels them through the water . There are even armored mayfly nymphs. A broad hardened shell protects the
- f lattened body.
Looking into an environment . tha t we often overlook can reveal ; some interesting discoveries, if t ime . is taken, to really look carefully. , Then, once the initial discovery has been made, learning more
.. about the animal, or discovery, is even more satisfying.

veryone is always looking for t h a t special
club t h a t will allow them to h i t t he ball farther.
What everyone for-gets about is scoring. Many people come to me and say, "I need help with my driver," or "I can't hi t my long irons." What every-
one forgets is t h a t chipping and put t ing is where you score.
If you spend one hour a week prac-ticing on the driving range, then you shoxlld spend two hours a week chip-ping and putt ing.
When you practice chipping, work with the 7-iron through sand wedge or lob wedge. Most people make the mistake of us ing jus t their sand wedge.
One of the keys to chipping is get-ting the ball on the ground as soon as possible. If you have to carry a bunker, you will probably have your best success us ing a lob or sand wedge.
Other t h a n tha t type of situation, you wan t the ball to roll to the flag-stick. This is why I recommend the 'flight to roll' ratio, invented by Mike Adams.
The flight to roll ratio keys itself on the golf ball landing one s tep on the put t ing green every time. You determine w h a t club to hit by using the following formula:
1. Firs t you pace off how many steps it t akes from where your ball is to one s tep on the green.
2. Then you pace off how many steps it t akes from tha t one s tep on the green to t he hole.
3. You then take the number of steps to the hole and divide i t by the number of s teps from your ball to one step on the green. For example, if it takes four steps from the ball to the spot on the green, then 20 more to the hole, divide four into 20 to get five.
4. The final step is to subtrac t tha t number from 12 to determine which club to use. For example, 12 minus five equals seven so you would use the 7-iron.
What this makes is an easier way to chip. If you are always landing the ball one s tep on the green, you must t rus t the club selection on the shot.
Some keys to work on to chip the ball better are: • Open your stance slightly, aiming left of the target • Your weight should be mainly on your left foot. • Your h a n d s should be in line with your left thigh,

and the ball should be back in your stance off your right toe.
S The motion should be with your arms and shoulders, not with your wrists.
Remember to get the ball on t he ground as soon as pos-sible and apply the flight to ball ratio.
If you're having problems, remember to seek out your local PGA professional for instruction.

Metro Detroit bowlers make good showing in U.S. Open
TEN PIN ALLEY

AL HARRISON
id anyone hap-pen to see the $375,000 U.S.
Open bowling tourna-ment on Fox Sports Net last Saturday?
If you did hot see it J j s fy ' on TV, you would not
have read about it in ^ the Detroit dailies.
That is a shame, for this is the most high-ly esteemed bowling
event anywhere, and the prized jewel in the Triple Crown of bowling. None of the local TV channels showed it on the news or sports finals. They were all too busy wi th golf. Where is bowl-ing? I am not talking about field hockey or quoits. This game of ten-pins is the leading part icipant sport in the world.
The U.S. Open took place a week ago at Phoenix, Ariz., and many of our local shooters, were right up there with the finest competitors from Austral ia to Finland and points between.
Lisa Bishop of Belleville, Cheryl Daniels of West Bloomfield and Mari-anne DiRupo of Dearborn lasted well into the match play final round, with Bishop finishing 15th, Daniels 18th and DiRupo 19th.
Two-time U.S. Open winner Aleta Sill of Dearborn finished out of match play. On the men's side, an equal number of local participated, but only Finlander Mika Koivuniemi,
who has taken up residence in this area, made it to match play.
All the televised matches were -exciting. On the women's side, Ten-nelle Grijalva of Orange, Calif., a for-mer Team USA member, beat ama-teur s ta r Kelly Kulick of New Jersey for the championship and $35,000. In the men's competition, Robert Smith of California defeated veteran Norm Duke of Florida, 202-201 for the title and $25,000.

BUILDING A BETTER WORLD
Picture perfect weather draws crowds to fairs
The artists and crowds couldn't have asked for better weather when the Ann Arbor Art Fairs
opened 10 a.m. Wednesday. With tem-peratures in the low 70s, painter Tom LeGault was painting fast and furi-ous. By 3 p.m., all the finished works in the Plymouth artist's booth were already tagged with red sold signs. If you missed him in Ann Arbor, LeGault still has a full schedule of shows in the area including the Sug-arloaf Art Fair at the Novi Expo Cen-ter Friday-Sunday, Oct. 27-29, and Art on the Lake 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 27, at Northfield Hills, Coolidge at Long Lake Road, Troy. Call (248) 641-9070 for information.
"This is some of the nicest weather we've had in a long time," said LeGault, his brush laying down the first few lines of a northern Michigan landscape.
Further down Main Street Livonia ceramists Barbara and Alan Gibson were taking time to straighten the abstract wall hangings filling their booth. Once the fair was over, the mother and son duo would begin working on commissions similar to the ones they had displayed in a photo album on the table.
Slaving away "I've been slaving away to get ready
for Ann Arbor," said Alan Gibson, who will exhibit his work along with more than 150 other artists 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday-Sunday, Aug. 5-6 at the Novi Town Center. Admission is free. For more information, call (248) 347-3830 or visit the Web site at www.Art-Festival.com.
Irish music A block down the street, the
enchanting sound of Irish music could be heard as the young musicians known as Grupai Ceol played. Their

performance included part of the set they'll play at the All-Ireland Compe-tition the third week of August.
The hat sitting in front of them was filling up fast. Flutist Sean Gavin, fid-dlers Jeremy Kittel and Megan MacLeod, harpist Colleen Burke, piper Tyler Duncan and Colleen Shanks (tin whistle) will use the money to help pay for their trip to Ire-land. Last year, they placed second in the competition.
"Don't they sound great?" asked Mick Gavin, a Redford fiddler. Stand-ing on the sidelines, Gavin beamed proudly as he watched his son, Sean, play.
New experience This was the first time Judy and
Leonard Poger visited the fair on opening day. In previous years, the Westland residents were working so they couldn't get to Ann Arbor until Saturday.
"I just love it," said Leonard Poger, a student at the University of Michi-gan-Dearborn and Garden City Observer editor before he retired.
"It's most pleasurable," added Judy. "It's a different experience coming on a Wednesday. You can tell by watching the people, they're very serious about buying."

osh White Jr. believes m peacc, equality and freedom just as much today as he did when singer/songwriters like himself
revived folk music to bring about social and political changes in the 1960s.
He learned the importance of these values at the knees of his father, the legendary Josh White Sr., and mother Carol Born in 1940 in New York City, young Josh was quick to pick up on the racial and economic struggles his father sang and wrote about in the 30* and 40?.
In the late 1960s, he and a new generation of musicians, which included the British group, The Animals, discovered and popular-ized his father's - "House of the Rising Sun"-a classic tale about a young girl dying in a place of ill-repute.
White Jr. had sung the song many times with his father since joining him in a perfor-mance on a live Armed Forces Radio Show at age 4. By 1961, Josh Jr. was playing solo at the Cafe Gallery down the street from Baker's Keyboard Lounge, but never forgot his father's songs.
He took them with him to The Raven, first located in Birmingham and then Southfield, and onto the road where he performed them at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D. C. and in 12 countries during a 26 day tour of Europe with Richie Havens. But his most important gig was yet to come. In 1991, White Jr. would become an integral part of StoryLiving, the Detroit Historical Museum's educational outreach program that teaches youth about subjects such as the Under-ground Railroad. It became a mission for him to perform concerts for families and children in an effort to help build a better world.

Arbor Tra'l Plymouth For information, call (734) 416-42/8
• Josh White Jr. will kick off the Members First Senes of conce^s 8 o.m Friday, Sept 8 at the Plymouth Comrrumty Arts Council. Tickets are stiti available, call number l isted above.
Haiidin^ a hotter world In addition to singing the songs of his
father, White Jr. will encourage audiences to cultivate friendships and read more when he plays the Music in the Park concert series sponsored by the Plymouth Community Arts Council Wednesday, July 26, and the Water-ford Cultural Council's SummerFest 1:30-2:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 5. White returns to Plymouth Friday, Sept. 8 to kick off the arts council's Members First Series of concerts. He will perform at The Ark in Ann Arbor on Friday, Oct. 6.
Life lesson "The greatest lesson I learned not only
from my father but my mother was how you look at and treat another human being," said White Jr. who sang his father's blues songs on the acoustic stage at Montreal Jazz Festi-val during Fourth of July weekend. "Look at them as individual human souls, no head higher or lower than yours. If a particular person did you wrong, it wasn't the race that did you wrong. Speak of equality in your music to remind people we're all the same. After everything my dad had been through in his life, he could have instilled a lot of hatred but he did not. And you can't just say some-thing. You have to do it. They walked the walk."
Much of what he knows about his father
today, White Jr. learned after his father^ ii» .Ub i l0» of M in 0 \c i ihi years, he's spoken to legendary blues men and spent hours with Elijah Wald whose " book, Josh White Society Blues, is scheduled for release in September He realized when the U.S. Postal Service put his father on a stamp in 1998 that many people know noth-ing about these historical figures so White Jr. began making the circuit of schools to speak about his father.
Discovering history "I learned a lot more about my dad after
talking to Wald and it led to me discovering an old blues album of a black street singer he used to lead around," he said. "It's Josh White at 14 playing and singing with Blind Joel Taggert, so now I've heard my father in his early years. To me, that's a treasure. Growing up, there were not a lot of stories but I do remember visiting Leadbelly just before he died. I met Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee for the first time after my dad died even though they saw me for the first time when I was born. There's some things I wish I could remember like a photo that shows me sitting on Paul Robeson's knee.
"It's our history. When I go to the schools it's because my father is one more person people should know about. There's recordings of my father standing up for human rights in the 30s and 40s. He and Paul Robeson stood up for it. It's never easy to stand up."
White Jr. is not about to let anyone forget that his father was blacklisted during the McCarthy era or that he was the first blues/folk artist to headline America's first integrated club, the Cafe Society in the vil-lage in New York. His recent recording, House of the Rising Son, by Silverwolf Records, keeps his father's music alive. His

The hours are long, the mosquitos biting like it's mid August, and the sun's burning their skin but local actors performing in the Michigan Shakespeare Festival are loving every minute.
Set among the trees of Ella Sharp Park in Jackson, the festival treats Shakespeare lovers to A Midsummer Night's Dream and Richard III in addition to The Toby Story, a zany ver-sion of Cinderella. The shows contin-ue afternoons and evenings to Sun-day, Aug. 6.
"When I first went out and saw the sight I thought it was just a stage in a field," said Casey Murphy, an Ann Arbor res ident and g radua te of Rochester High School. This is Mur-phy's second summer performing out-doors. Last year, he was an intern at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center in Connecticut. .
"Then I got a little sunburn. The mosquitos are bad here and we're always covering up in suntan lotion and bug spray but there's a nice back-drop of trees all around. There's some-
thing about being in an outside the-ater. There's sort of a puri ty to it. There's nothing else besides the audi-ence and stage, not an ornate house, just the trees and sky."

agree with him more. They love the new stage designed like an Eliza-bethan courtyard theater. Like Mur-phy, the husband and wife acting duo perform in both Shakespeare produc-tions. Murphy plays Lysander, one of the lovers romping through the woods in A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Lord Grey in Richard III.
"It's been less of a challenge and more of a joy," said Keith Prusak, a Livonia resident. "I don't want to say it's been easy but our director, John Neville-Andrews in A Midsummer Night's Dream, makes it easy. He's done Shakespeare around America and Europe. I always had an interest in Shakespeare even in high school at St. Agatha's in Redford. I thought Shakespeare had his finger on every-body's pulse. It's writ ten in such a way that it can apply to anybody."
Ariana fell in love wi th Shake-
speare while a s tuden t at Lutheran High School in West-land.
"My teacher was so on f i re about Shake-speare it sparked us and rubbed off on us," said Ari-ana , "but the oppor tun i t i e s around here to be in Shake-speare are few and f a r between. That's why we travel 70 miles one way, happily to Jackson for e i g h t - h o u r rehearsa ls six days a week."
Of course, Ariana and Keith wotild travel just about any distance to keep from playing parts where they kill each other. It seems, no matter what

the play, (guess which parts they played in the SRO production of Dracula and Wait until Dark at the Plymouth Theatre Guild.) Keith is always trying to get rid of Ariana. Married three years ago, the two f i r s t met while doing Arsenic and Old Lace at Eastern Michigan University.
In A Midsummer Night's Dream, she plays Hippolyta. He plays Phi los t ra te . She's betrothed to Theseus, who she eventual ly marr ies , but i t 's Phi los t ra te ' s job to keep her entertained.
"This time I get to be on the stage and not kill my wife but make her smile," said Keith. "It's a small but fun part . I'm just excited to be a part of it and to be surrounded by all this great excitement. Everyone puts their heart into it."

Keith Prusak Actor
Richard III. Directed by David Blixt, Richard III follows the Duke's bloody trail to attain the throne of England.
"We spent a lot of time on the final fight scene," said Prusak. "It has the look of a bat t le between all the male cast mem-bers, the forces of Richard against the crown's challenger Richmond. I learned so much, the physicality of it and to do it safely but make it look like you're trying to kill each other."
Murphy likes t h a t scene as well. He plays Lord Grey, a good guy who comes back to f ight Richard.
"It's fun but one interesting thing I've never done before is working on two shows at the same time," said Murphy, who's studying thea te r and Renais-sance literature at the Universi-ty of Michigan. He acted in "Much Ado About Nothing" at the Mendelssohn Theater in Ann Arbor in November. 'You have to shift gears. "It's a big jump to make from a history play to a light comedy where you're run-ning around the woods. It makes you grow as an actor. And I love live theater. There's an energy in theater that you don't have in related art forms."

pottery. Both Livonia residents are veteran fairgoers.
"The first time I went 20 years ago I bought a ceramic colander," said Chwalek. "I still have the first piece I bought. Going to the Ann Arbor fairs is like going to a museum. I like going back to the same exhibitors and just enjoy looking even if I can't afford their work."
"There's something for every-one and, if you can't find some-thing, you shouldn't be here," added Myers enthusiastically. "We really like pottery. I didn't walk 10 steps and the first two booths I bought something."
By the end of the day, every-one, including myself, went
home tired but looking forward to next year's fairs. There was plenty to see from lathe-turned wood vessels to pas te l land-scapes and beautiful glass bowls by Johanthan Philip Andersson of,England.
As in every year, there were some gaudy and tacky things for sale, but the majority of tiles, paintings, sculpture, pottery, photography, jewelry, glass, and fiber were creative, one-of-a-kind artworks.

next recording, Josh White Jr. -Cortelia Clark, to be released in September by Silverwolf Records, recalls the era when his father, dressed in rags and shoe-less, led blind singers through the streets as he panhandled for his next meal.
"It's a wonderful story about a young boy going out into the world for the first time with a black street singer," said White Jr. "That's how my father grew up. That was an incredible con-nection.
"My old man used to tell us five kids make sure you believe what you're singing. When you believe what you're singing it comes to life."
Stella Greene thinks that abil-ity to reach audiences through
his music is what makes White J r . so popular in Plymouth. When the 60-year old singer isn't entertaining audiences at the a r t s council, he 's in the Ply-mouth-Canton schools telling stories about the past.
Green and the rest of the arts council provide the grants to make it all possible. Earlier this spring, he spoke to 5, four th grade classes at Miller School.
"It's part of the council's Cul-tural Diversity programming," said Greene, arts council director of development.
"He has a following - people who know who he is and appreci-ate his style. We value him and think of him as our jewel. He's performed for all age groups and everybody loved him."

Third day's a charm for Art in the Park B Y LINDA A N N CHOMIN STAFF WRITER [email protected]
It looks like the decision to extend Art in the Park to three days was a hi t with art ists as well as the crowd Friday, July 14 in Plymouth. By noon, the offi-cial opening time, parking spots were few and far between as streams of people wove their way in and out of the more than 400 booths.
"People started coming at 10 o'clock and haven ' t s topped since," said Mary Taros, a Bloomfield Hills artist who was displaying her whimsical, full-size papier mache sculptures of people and an imals on Main Street.
Over on Ann Arbor Trail and Forres t , t h e Village Po t t e r s Guild booth had customers wait-ing in line to pay for their tiles, bowls and vessels.
"I think it's great," said Ruth Price, one of the potters. 'We've been selling already."
Unfortunately, Friday's hours had to be cut short due to an approaching storm, but that did-n't bother print maker Michael McCuliough who said he would
ra the r be safely inside when lightning could strike. .
He does several outdoor shows during the summer. Look for McCuliough at Art on the Lake, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 27 at Northfield Hills, Coolidge and Long Lake Road, Troy, call (248) 641-9070 for more informa-tion.
"Moral was up and I did really good," said McCuliough, a Farm-ington artist oh Saturday.
Looking back on the three day event after she had a chance to rest and catch her breath, Art in the Park founder Diane Quinn couldn't have been happier about making the decision to extend the fair to three days. It was a great way to celebrate Art in the Park's 20th anniversary.
"Pm hearing lots of positive responses," said Quinn. "The whole weekend was crazy. We had great crowds. And we think the city commissioners will vote to have the fair open again on Friday next year."
Quinn has her fingers crossed. She's already inked in Friday-Sunday, July 13-15, 2001 on her calendar.

'Bodies in Motion and at Rest' enchanting collection of essays

VICTORIA DIAZ
"People some-t i m e s a sk me why I wr i t e , " s a y s T h o m a s Lynch in a n in t roduct ion tp these 20 essays. "Because, I tell t h e m , I don ' t golf."
How lucky we a r e t h a t Mil-
ford's l i te rary mortician ("The Undertaking - Life Studies from the Dismal Trade") is more con-cerned wi th poet ry and prose t h a n w i t h w h a t ' s pa r for t he course. Jus t how lucky is often apparent in this, his second vol-ume of non-fiction.
Begin with the title piece, in which he mulls the question of "why we ... cease to be."
In considering this vast gener-. ality, he looks a t the particular death of one George Horton, Mil-ford cemetery sexton and long-t ime acqua in tance of t he poet himself.
As Lynch and his young assis-tant bundle up old George's body (he h a s died peaceful ly in h i s own bed) and bear it downstairs to t h e w a i t i n g h e a r s e , no a n s w e r s a r e d iscovered , of course. Bu t , t h r o u g h Lynch ' s succinct prose, we feel as if can grasp the essence of George and his loving daughter, Nancy. And without being in the least pon-derous, Lynch gives us much to ponder.
"Wombs," p e r h a p s t he most contentious piece in the collec-t ion , d i s c u s s e s Lynch ' s pro-choice s tance on abortion, bu t adds a twist. If we have legally granted our daughters the right to t e r m i n a t e m o t h e r h o o d
th rough abor t ion , he a rgues , shouldn't our sons also be grant-ed the right to terminate pater-nal responsibility?
"If most of us are, as we are f r e q u e n t l y to ld , pro-choice , oughtn ' t t he courts to uphold this choice as well?" he writes. "Is Choice good for one and all or only one and half of the popula-tion?'
Startling essay In a f r a n k , even s t a r t l i n g
essay titled "The Way We Are," the writer explores his family's tendencies toward alcoholism.
We learn of one grandfather's early death, and of another who finally made a pact with God to s top d r i n k i n g if h i s only son returned safely from the second world w a r . The son r e t u r n e d and, Lynch tells us, his f a the r never drank anything stronger than Vernor's ginger ale again.
Lynch's own father dealt suc-cessful ly w i t h h is a lcohol ism through Alcoholics Anonymous, as h a s Lynch h imse l f . As he writes this essay, however, his son, who began drinking at 14, s t r u g g l e s w i t h t h e d i s e a s e . Repeated s t in t s in detox un i t s and t r e a t m e n t c e n t e r s h a v e yielded few hoped-for resu l t s . Now in his 20s, he appears to be "dying by doses."
Still, though, Lynch holds out hope, in facing the t ruth rather t h a n h i d i n g f rom i t , and in r e m e m b e r i n g t h a t , a l t h o u g h most, of Lynch's eight siblings suffer from alcoholism, each one has achieved sobriety.
Varied collection The collection is nothing if not
varied, and runs the gamut from deeply serious to murderously funny.
In this la t ter category, Lynch reveals his t rue feelings about his ex-wife's cat, who somehow
ends up living (and living, and living) with him after the mar-riage fal ls apar t . Even a f te r a rather smug Lynch has ordered up a tombstone in eager antici-p a t i o n of t h e ag ing fe l ine ' s demise, the old cat latches onto l ife, n u m b e r 9, and h a n g s in there.
"The re is n o t h i n g l ike t he sight of a dead human body to ass is t t he living in separa t ing t h e good days f rom t h e bad ones," the wri ter assures us in "Sweeney Revisited," a wry and sepulchral commentary on how his friend and fellow poet found re l i e f f r o m t h e p a n g s of hypochondr ia . The "cure," we will find, has really nothing to do with medicine, and almost every-thing to do with Bill Gates.
Other topics Other topics include Lynch's
take on the Garden of Eden; how to deal with writer's block; "The American Way of Death"; fishing (especially in Michigan); funeral home conglomerates (leading to what Lynch calls "the McFuner-al"); longer living through chem-istry; the writer 's Irish cousin, Nora (of whom we would like to r ead much more); mor t ic ians ' conventions; book tours; and an end note on the millennium.
For some readers, the appeal of this collection may lie more in how the message is being deliv-ered t h a n the. message i tself . And, while the words here may not seem to soar with quite the s a m e s p i r i t as t h o s e in "The U n d e r t a k i n g , " t h e y r e m a i n a k i n d of t r u e e n c h a n t m e n t in themselves.

STORYTELLING RETREAT Plymouth storyteller Debra Christian is one of the perform-ers and presenters at the annual Storytellers Retreat Friday-Sun-day, Sept. 8-10 in Howell.
The goal of the re t rea t is to provide an opportunity for story-tellers, aspiring tellers, or any-one i n t e r e s t ed in s torytel l ing and has a love of stories to gath-er t o g e t h e r for a weekend of relaxation and sharing.
De t ro i t I n s t i t u t e of A r t s a r e beginning to resemble weekly briefings.
On Wednesday, DIA Director Graham Beal accepted a $5-mil-. lion donation to the museum's ongoing c a p i t a l f u n d - r a i s i n g campaign from General Motors. The money is des igna ted to establish a new curatorial and r e source cen t e r ded ica ted to African-American art.
"This wil l d i f f e r en t i a t e t he DIA from o ther ins t i tu t ions , " said Beal. "It's not enough to be a great encyclopedic arts institu-tion. It's also about serving one of our m a i n c o n s t i t u e n t s , African-Americans."
At a p r e s s conference two weeks ago, Beal was on hand to accept a $7 million grant from the Kresge Foundation, and to reveal design plans for a 35,000-square-feet expansion. The DIA is approximately one-third of the way to i ts goal of raising $331 million by 2010.
In recent years, there has been a growing interest among muse-ums to collect African-American art. The DIA - with a collection of 265 pieces, mostly works on paper - is considered among the leading museums in the country exhibiting African-American art.
The General Motors Center for African American Art will focus on scholarship and enhancing the DIA's collection.
Beal compared the new DIA department to the renown Yale Center for Bri t ish Art in New Haven, Conn., in terms of spe-cialized scholarship and poten-tial for leading exhibits in the field.
The ac tua l number of s taf f , resources and acquisitions bud-get for the center won't be deter-mined until a curator is named to head the department.
A national search will proba-bly take 6-12 months, said Beal.
"It's only fitting to have this a t the DIA," said George N'Namdi, owner /d i r ec to r of t he G. R. N'namdi Gallery in Birmingham, one of longest established gal-leries dedicated to the exhibition of art created by African-Ameri-cans.
Works of well-known African-American a r t i s t s like Romare Bearden and Jacob Lawrence are included in the DIA collec-tion.
"Now we'll be able to take a b roader look at lesser known African-American artists like Al Loving a n d Ed Clark ," sa id N'Namdi.
The GM donation provides the f i r s t evidence of Beal's vision and follow-through. Shortly after he assumed the role of director in October, Beal cited as a top priority the development of the museum's African-American ar t collection.
All are welcome to attend the workshops, discussion groups, and on-si te pe r fo rmances . In addition to Christian, performers and presenters include Detroit blues performer Robert Jones, J u d y Sima, J o a n n Ladd , and Yvonne Healy.

Sound appealing? For h u n d r e d s of
Metro Detroiters like me, heaven is a th roa t -b l i s t e r ing , tongue-stinging bottle of hot sauce or salsa.
We splash the devilish condiments on everything from omelets to tacos, hamburgers to corn chips. We love the taste, the texture and danger of test-ing substances with such names as "Capi ta l P u n i s h m e n t , " " S a t a n ' s Revenge," and "Last Rites."
And- many of us find our scorching paradise in Ann Arbor at Tios Restau-rant's monthly hot sauce tasting.
It's a perfect way to start a Sunday afternoon shopping trip in Wolverine territory.
Tios owners , Tim and H a r r i e t Seaver, open 80 or so bottles of hot sauce, relish, mustard and jelly, add baskets of corn chips and platters of palette-cleansing crackers with crab dip.
Depending on the season, a few dozen to more t h a n 100 loyal hot sauce fans drift into the free four-hour t a s t i n g t h e f i r s t Sunday of every month. The eatery — which is open for regular business during the ses-sion — fills up fast. Tasters stand or crouch near the tables loaded with bottles, chips and sauce dribbles, as they jot down favorites.
I downed my 202nd hot sauce in June.
Purgatory Pepper Sauce. The bottle's label assured tha t the
thin, brownish liquid inside would reward any "garlic-a-holic" wi th a "hellishly hot, heavenly flavor."
I preferred the chili pepper theme socks I chose from a big box of prizes and wrote "slight bite, vinegary taste," in my little red booklet. The Seavers supply each sauce aficionado with a t a s t i n g d ia ry t ha t ' s s to red in the restaurant between sessions. My jour-nal dates back three years to my first sampling session.
The written record is a good way to keep track of favorites for future pur-chase. And it 's a m u s t for logging saucy milestones. The Seavers award prizes, s t a r t ing with a T-shirt , for every 100 sauces tasted. Each succes-sive grouping earns a choice of socks, apron, boxer shorts or hat — all with a chili pepper theme — and a place of honor on t h e Wall of Flame, t he restaurant's shrine to gustatory valor.
Two chili peppers, made of poster board and sporting my name, hang with hundreds of others on the wall.
Ready to earn yours? Here are a few hints:
• Arrive at the start of the tasting and ask for a booklet.
• Buy a milkshake to help extin-guish the heat . Water and soda pop tend to spread the burning sensation.
• Save the hottest sauces for the end of your session. Taste those spar-ingly.
Tios is located at 333 East Huron. (734) 761-6650. The couple opened a second restaurant last week in Ypsi-lanti.
After the hot sauce tasting, cool off with a walk around town and a stop at these- favori te Ann Arbor stores which are open on Sundays:
U r b a n Out f i t t e r s , noon to 6 p.m., 231 South State. Cool clothing, hip accessories and got-to-have-it chairs, glassware, bath products and more.

B Y J A N E T SUGAMELI STAFF WRITER
The lunch crowd in historic down-t o w n F r a n k l i n a l r e a d y knows the changes tha t have taken place inside one of the city's oldest markets.
People wai t in line a t the Market Basket for their triple-decker, reuben or roast beef sandwiches and for the prepared food. And soon they'll be able to watch the hand-tossing of pizzas and the spinning of rotisserie chicken.
"Frankl in is definitely an upscale town now and this market is changing with the times," said Barry Sherwood, a customer who recalled going to the store as a youth.
In April, the Hakim family took over t he Market Basket and changed the look, expanded the food line and added catering service as well as more pre-pared food and take-out.
"The market was tired, so we put in a new energy to get it rolling again," said Hakim sister Pat McCracken of Farm-ington Hills.
The cu l inary family of e ight also focuses its attention on catering, which ha s been the family business for the past 20 years
The new owners have added hand-scooped ice cream, gourmet prepared foods, pastr ies and sushi. "We stress fresh," McCracken said.
They have also expanded the hours of operation from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mon-day through Saturday.
"Since the family has taken over the store, we put a lot of TLC (tender, love and care) into it," Hakim said.
Cus tomer Deloris Weinste in Hall said she enjoys the service and warm, f a m i l y e n v i r o n m e n t of t h e newly revamped store.
"If you want something and it's not in the store, they'll order it for you,"
Weins te in Ha l l sa id . "They ' re he r e totally to please you."
Weinstein Hall said she even had the new owners prepare Passover dinner.
Among the market's specialty dishes are rotisserie chicken, raspberry chicks en breast , kebabs and soups. It also sells such dishes as pasta , egg salacl. and s p e c i a l t y b r e a d s , l iquors and • wines.
The future also will bring more addi-tions to the food selection. Chef Carl Hakim, formerly of the Market Square in Bloomfield, said he plans to add the s
"Franklin Grill to Go" into the market's line up. "There is going to be hand toss-ing of pizzas in the windows along with" the rotisserie chicken spinning in t he ' windows," he said. ,•
In J a n u a r y t h e H a k i m s p l a n to--remodel the s tore to make the floor1! p l a n more m o d e r n a n d open. The ' future plan also includes turning the to old stone-walled basement into a wine-cellar.
Most of their catered and prepared foods are done at their partner store,.; Rudy's marke t , in Clarkston. Hakim> plans to add more cooking facilities at' the Market Basket after it's remodeled. I
And there are a few tables outside = the market to encourage a downtown-^ a tmosphere . "We're got night life inv;
Franklin now," he added. "Or come in-for lunch and eat outside on our cafe tables." :

Southern Indiana towns take you back to yesteryear B Y L I Z J O S S S P E C I A L WRITER
High gas pr ices and the thought of long car tr ips are enough to make many
people look for getaways closer to home this summer.
Whether you're looking for an action-packed family vacation or a peaceful retreat, you can find it in t h e s ide-by-s ide towns of F rench Lick and West Baden Springs in southern Indiana.
You can tour the Eighth Won-der of t h e World, l inger over afternoon tea, splash in a pool, r i de h o r s e s , p lay golf on a na t iona l ly recognized course, indulge in a mud bath or ride the rails through some of the state's most beautiful countryside.
Tourists have flocked to this par t of Indiana since the mid-18008, when the two communi-t i e s of t h e S p r i n g s Valley a t t r a c t e d people to " take the waters" from the area's natural mineral springs and gamble in fancy, illegal casinos. Eventual-ly, more t h a n 20 hotels flour-ished in the valley.
The F r e n c h Lick Spr ings Resort and West Baden Springs Hotel were the top draws, known for t h e i r l u x u r i o u s appoin t -ments, celebrity guests, accom-modat ing staff and fine foods. The. D e p r e s s i o n b r o u g h t an abrupt end to the boom. Though tKe French Lick Springs Resort stayed in operation, daily life in the Springs Valley grew quieter with the closure of many hotels and the conversion of the grand West Baden Springs Hotel into a college.
Today, however, French Lick and West Baden Spr ings a re en joy ing a rev iva l t h a t has attracted national media atten-tion,
'The mos t a t t en t i on -ge t t i ng -development in the Springs Val-ley in the last few years has been the s tunning restoration of the f o r m e r Wes t Baden Spr ings Hotel. Its justified claim to fame is an elegant domed atrium, 600 feet in circumference and 100 feet tal l , t h a t earned the title "Eighth Wonder of the World" when it opened in 1902.

At 8 p.m. on the first Saturday of each month (April through October). "Twi-l igh t Tour s " give v i s i to r s a glimpse of the dramatic look the place takes on at night, with the dome b a t h e d in an a r t f u l sequence of changing colored light. A jazz ensemble will enter-ta in tour- takers on occasional weekends this summer and fall.
Live like a hotel baron The man who owned the West
Baden Springs Hotel in its hey-day was Char l e s Ed Bal la rd , who built his imposing French Lick home in 1915 high on a hill with a view of his beloved hotel. Today, you can enjoy Ballard's ba lcony view d u r i n g an overnight s tay a t his restored home, Beechwood Inn, One of Ind iana ' s most e legant bed & breakfast inns, Beechwood offers
six g u e s t rooms f u r n i s h e d in antiques, with modern comforts - telephones, cable TV, private baths - discreetly added.
Beechwood 's owne r s also t r ans fo rmed Bal la rd ' s l ibrary, dining room, and solarium into an e l e g a n t r e s t a u r a n t for overnight guests as well as other visitors to the historic valley. In addition to lunch and dinner, the restaurant offers a seven-course t e a ( i nc lud ing t h r e e d e s s e r t courses!) a t 2:30 p.m. and high tea in the Br i t i sh t radi t ion a t 5:30 p.m. (Call ahead, because reservat ions are recommended for lunch and dinner, and hours change seasonally.)
Downstairs is the French Lick W i n e r y & Coffee Company , where you can tour the cellars and see how wine is made, par-t a k e in f ree wine t a s t i n g and select a souvenir.
When Ed Bal la rd wanted to escape the hust le and bustle of the thriving resort business, he retreated to his private hunting lodge on the edge of the Springs Valley between Paoli and West Baden Springs. Now known as Wilstem Guest Ranch, Ballard's r e t r e a t ha s been t r ans fo rmed

into Indiana's only "dude ranch." Ballard's 1919 lodge now has
10 guest rooms plus a kitchen, bar, living room and hot tub; and two- and three-bedroom cabins also dot the 1,100-acre grounds. Though the ranch is a working ca t t l e o p e r a t i o n , t he s ta f f emphasizes relaxation amid the peace and quiet. You can watch-ing the grass grow from a rocker, spot a quai l whi le h ik ing the grounds, play in the pool or ride horses - your own or one provid-ed by the ranch - on the 36 miles of trails.
Resort living The view from Beechwood also
takes in Ballard's biggest com-petitor, the French Lick Springs Resort, which has been in contin-uous opera t ion since 1834. A long, wide verandah lined with dozens of rocking chairs is your f i r s t e n t i c e m e n t to leave the everyday world behind.
The resort's renowned spa and golf courses have remained a popular draw since early in the 20th Century. Spend an hour or a day being pampered with mas-sages, mineral bath, facials and more, de l ivered by s ta f f who learned their techniques from parents and grandparents who worked at the resort.
A g r e a t way to work up a sweat before hitting the spa is a round of golf on the Valley Links Course or the more demanding Hill Course , des igned by the famed Donald Ross and site of the 1924 PGA championship.
Meanwhile, the kids can spend the day splashing in the pool,
HISTORIC LANDMARKS FOUNDATION OF INDIANA

All aboard! Both the casually curious and
serious students of railroad his-tory will enjoy the Indiana Rail-way Museum in French Lick's 1907 Monon Railroad passenger station. The historic depot hous-es t he m u s e u m ' s col lec t ion , including diesel and steam loco-mot ives , a r a r e r a i l w a y pos t office car and a 1951 dining car.

Inaugural release Of all the Caceras wines, it is the
recent inaugural release of 1994 Gaudium $80 that propels the winery into the 21st century. Bearing the Bacchus head from Chateau Camen-sac on the label, the wine was made from Rioja's older-vine tempranillo (75 percent) and cabernet sauvignon (25 percent) with limited yield and superb concentration.
"We've been aiming to create an ele-gant wine with power and structure for several years," Christine noted. "In 1994, efforts came together with one of Rioja's most remarkable vin-

A blend of 90 percent tempranillo, five percent cabernet sauvignon and five percent graciano, it has complex layers of fla-vor intensity and a superbly rich fin-ish.
Since Finca Valpiedra may be hard to find, we also recommend the 1994 Conde de Valdemar Reserva $15 from an outstanding vintage, with its splendid fruit profile, complexity from extended aging, multi-faceted finish, and good quality/price ratio.
Bodegas Breton is bent on showcas-ing a single, steep, terraced vineyard and Rioja Alta characteristics with its Dominio de Conte. The 1995, $35, a blend of 90 percent tempranillo and 10 percent graciano, spent 30 months in American oak barrels. It is hall-marked by dark plummy fruit and

In July, tomato plants are laden with the harvest. Low in calories, tomatoes are rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, beta-carotene, potassium and iron. They also contain significant amounts of lycopene, a potent antioxidant that, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research, has been linked to lower cancer inci-dence in a number of scientific studies. Cooking tomatoes enhances the lycopene content by breaking down cell walls and making the phyto-chemical more available
There are many ways to enjoy tomatoes -cooked in sauces, juice or soup, or raw in sandwiches and salads. If you're looking for new ways to use all those tantalizing toma-toes, here are some ideas from the American Institute for Cancer Research:
£ For a simple and quick side dish, saute a pint of cherry tomatoes in a tablespoon of olive oil until just soft; remove from heat and toss with two tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley and a pinch cf salt.
B For a novel appetizer hollow out the top 1/4-inch of tomato halves, fill with pesto and thin onion slices, and grill in a foil pan. Sprinkle each with a bit of shredded Mon-terey jack cheese, chopped almonds and snipped fresh parsley.
B Make a colorful salad with diced cucum-ber, tomato, yellow bell pepper, peeled jica-ma, bok choy (white part only) and chopped red onion. Add chopped fresh parsley, cilantro or coriander. Toss with a mixture of olive oil. lemon juice, freshly ground pepper and hot pepper sauce to taste (optional).
For light a summer meal, consider Beefy Steak House Salad, a recipe from the Nation-al Cattleman's Beef Association. Skewers of grilled top sirloin steak, red bell peppers and bread cubes - all seasoned with a zesty Ital-ian dressing mixture that doubles as both a marinade and a salad dressing - are teamed with romaine lettuce to make a complete meal. In this recipe, adding lemon juice, gar-lic, Parmesan cheese and Worcestershire sauce to the Italian dressing results in a taste reminiscent of Caesar salad.
If you're looking for something light and easy to make for dinner, that makes use of fresh picked vegetables, youH enjoy these recipes.

Tina Plush fixes a quick and easy recipe to what she described as the "perfect ending" to any meal, especially when family members get together.
"It's quick, easy and very, very delicious," she said. "My mother used to make it when I was younger and she got it from my grandmother. I helped her make it when I was a kid.
"Everybody brings something (to our family din-ners), and that's what I bring."

Physicals will be done from 9 a.m. to noon and 1:30-5 p.m. Appointments are not necessary. The charge for a physical examination is $30 for the first child and $20 for the second. (Children must be from the same fami-' ly.) No insurance accepted for physical examinations. Immunizations are included in the cost.

Grief support "Bridges," a new support group for
adults experiencing a loss through death, will be held the fourth Thurs-day of the month at Community Hos-pice & Home Care Services of West-land. Due to community need, the sup-port group will be ongoing so a person may join the group as needed without having to wait for a new series to begin.
"Our experience with grief support groups pointed out the need for a place for grieving persons to have access to a support group as their need arises rather than living through months of grief until a new series starts," said Jan Hendricks, bereavement coordina-tor.
The group meets from 6:30- 8 p.m. in the CHHCS Plymouth office, 127 South Main Street. For more informa-tion, call (734) 522-4244.

McDowell, a physiatrist with the University of Michigan's Department of Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation, saw five patients with diving-relat-ed spinal cord injuries.
"People can go out drinking on their boat and dive off not knowing the water is shallow. They wake up in the hospital and can't move their hands and legs."
It is estimated 850 spinal cord injuries occur each year as the result of diving accidents, with nearly 300 happening at home in above- or below-ground pools.
According to the Michigan-based Foundation for Aquatic Injury Pre-vention, most of the nation's 100 million average recreational swimmers do not know the definition of "shallow" water. Inter-views of hundreds of these swimmers by aquatic experts indi-cate the perception of shallow water is any-thing from 18 inches to four feet. Very few consider a depth of five feet shallow water.
Predictably, most diving accidents occur during, the summer months of June, July and August when tem-peratures are warmer and daylight lasts longer. Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day, usually
claim the most diving-related spinal cord injuries. These are the "quad days of summer," says
Ronald Gilbert, chairman of the FAIP. In Michigan, lakes claim more spinal cord
injuries than pools. People often believe that a sandy bottom means a soft landing, said McDowell. Not true.
"Youll hit it with force. You snap your spinal cord and can't get up again."
However, people in Michigan do have above- or below-ground pools, and these pools pose as much threat as diving off the side of a boat into shallow water. Statistics show that the majority of pool-related spinal cord injuries result in the paralysis of all four limbs. Comprehensive study
In 1997, the University of Alabama at Birming-ham Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabili-tation undertook a comprehensive study of pool-
Approximately 850 spinal cord injuries occur each year as the result of diving accidents. About 300 hap-pen at home in above- and below-ground pools.

related spinal cord injuries in the United States. The study was sponsored by the American Spinal Injury Association and the Orthopaedic Research & Education Foundation as an injury pre-vention effort.
According to the study, authored by Michael J. DeVivo, Ph.D., since 1973, diving'mishaps account-ed for 8.5 percent of spinal cord injuries in the Unit-ed States, making it the fourth leading cause of such injuries. Diving accidents were outranked only by motor vehicle crashes, gunshot wounds and falls.
DeVivo developed statistics from a sample of 341 people enrolled in the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center database whose injuries were identified as resulting from swimming pool mishaps. (Of the original 1,106 diving injuries recorded by the NSCISC, 631, or 57.1 percent, occurred in natural aquatic environments.)
A profile emerged of swimming pool-related spinal cord injuries: '
• The victims were almost always males between the ages of 15 and 25.
• The neurological level of injury was almost always in the C4-C6 range. (These cervical disks are located above the prominent ridge - C7 - on the back of the neck.)
• The injury was usually complete, meaning no sensory or motor function below the level of the lesion.
In addition: • Most injuries, 64 percent, occurred in below-
ground swimming pools, while 36 percent occurred in above-ground pools.
• Most injuries, 57.2 percent, occurred when div-ing into less than four feet of water, while an addi-tional 38 percent occurred in water depths between four and eight feet.
• Depth indicators were not present in 75 percent of the cases, and no Warning signs were posted in 87 percent of cases. No lifeguard was on duty in 93.8 percent of the cases.
• Alcohol use was involved in 48.9 percent of cases, but drugs were involved just 2.2 percent of the time.
• In 44 percent of the cases, the injury occurred during a person's first visit to the pool, and in 27 percent of the cases, the injuries resulted1 from the person's first dive.
• Ordinary dives accounted for 69.7 percent of injuries, followed by "unusual" dives at 16.8 per-cent, unintentional pushes at 6 percent, arid other circumstances at 7 percent. Just 0.5 percent of .injuries were caused intentionally.
• Almost half of all injuries, 46.1 percent, occurred during parties. Fortunately, other people are present 97.4 percent of the time; otherwise, these diving accidents would result most of the time in the victim's death by drowning.
Brain injury According to DeVivo's study, swimming pool div-
ing accidents - unlike motor vehicle crashes and other causes of spinal cord injury - do not usually

result in head injuries, nonvertebral broken bones or traumatic pulmonary injuries.
However, brain injury can occur, said McDowell. A bruise can be transmitted to the brain at the point of contact resulting in a "cou^tercoup" effect wherein the brain continues to move forward, creat-ing a vacuum in the back of the head. The brain then rebounds and hits the back of the skull.
The victim's head can also torque upon impact, causing the brain to twist and shear the fibers that connect the pieces of the brain, Blood fills the space between the brain and the skull, as well as inside the brain.
"The bleedings, as well as the bruising, can give you swelling and cause you to lose consciousness," she said.
Diving accidents can also result in minor or mild brain injuries, said Dr. Owen A. Perlman, depart-ment head, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Saint Joseph Mercy Health System. Such injuries • may result in no specific loss of consciousness, a loss of consciousness that does not exceed 30 min-utes, or a post-trauma amnesia that occurs at the onset of injury until the person regains consistent reorientation of their short-term memory, usually within 24 hours.
Minor or mild brain injuries often result in non-obvious effects:
• Decreased attention span; • Processing ability impairment; • Irritability; • Inability to cope with social situations or relate
to or get along with people. "There is a higher divorce rate after minor brain
injury," Said Perlman. "People say, 'Why don't you shape up and do what you have to do.'"
Safe depth Make sure the water is deep enough before enter-
ing head-first. The American Red Cross advocates a feet-first entry. A depth of 5 feet is considered safe for diving by most aquatic safety experts; however, small children, ages 4 to 8, are often taught to dive in shallow water less than 5 feet.
This presents a potential problem for Gilbert, who says children, as they grow older and bigger, may continue to believe that diving in shallow water is safe.
The practice of "steering up," a maneuver using the hands and back to avoid hitting the bottom in shallow water, is dangerous, said Gilbert. Inter-views with hundreds of quadriplegics from diving accidents indicate the average recreational swim-mer is unable to comprehend and execute this tac-tic.
"I'm totally against steering up," he said. Sadly, a myth about diving accidents prevails: "People say it can't happen to me," said Gilbert. "I
say go to my Web page and look at the picture of Doug Heir. He was a lifeguard, and he dove into shallow water."

The do's and don'ts of diving The National Swimming Pool Foundation offers the fo l lowing safe diving tips:
M Do' know the water depth before you dive. • Do "'plan your dive path. • Do be sure there are no submerged
obstacles or surface obstacles. • Do hold your head up, arms up, and
steer up with your hands. • Do keep arms extended and head and
hands.up during the dive. -• Do practice carefully before you dive in. • Do swim and dive with a "buddy.* , • Do test the diving board for its spring
before using. • Do remember that when you dive down,
yotl must steer up. • Do keep your dtves simple.
D o n ' i s • Don't dive into an above-ground pool or v
into the shallow end of a pooh Nine of 10 diving injuries occur in six feet of water or less.
• Don't dive off the side of a diving board Dive straight ahead.
• Don't dive' from the edge across the nar-row part of a pool without having at least 25 feet of clear dive path in front of you.
• Don't run and dive. That can give you the same impact as a dive from a board.
• Don't do a back dive. • Don't try fancy dives "or dives with a .
straight vertical entry. • Don't dive at or through objects such as
inner tubes.
Don't put diving equipment on a pool that wasn't designed for it. Done dive from retaining walls, ladders,-slides or other pool equipment, Don't dive from rooftops, balconies, ledge or fences. Don't dive from racing start blocks wit-out direct supervision and'the training o a. qualified coach. Don't dive into unfamiliar bodiub of water. Remember, three of four diving accidents happen in natural bodies of water like lakes and rivers J Don't swim and dive alone. Don't drink and dive. The slowing effects of alcohol or drugs on reaction time can " . be'extremely dangerous in diving.

St. Mary Mercy offers 'Safe Haven' for newborns . St. Mary Mercy Hospital of
Livonia recently joined the list of Wayne County hospitals desig-nated as a Safe Haven for indi-viduals who abandon their babies.
The Safe Haven for Newborns program gives a mother anonymity and immunity from prosecution if the child is left in
the hands of emergency person-nel at a hospital or police/fire department. The baby then can receive medical care and place-ment in a foster home for future adoption.
It is estimated that 57 children are abandoned across the country each day. The number of aban-donments in the Wayne County
area is on the rise, according to the Michigan League for Human Services. The number of aban-doned children in Michigan has increased 48 percent over five years, reaching 1,136 in 1998 (the latest figures available).
The Safe Haven program pro-vides a safety net in the interim. Call is (800) 552-1183. .

Take complaints about gas prices and vent them on the Web PC

rou can vent your anger over
high gas-pump prices on a cou-ple of new Web sites.•
GreenCar. org targets the Big Three automak-ers for the i r being ignorant of the need for f u e l - e f f i c i e n t "green" vehi-
cles. Anyone logging onto the site can send e-mails to Ford, DaimlerChrysler and General Motors and express outrage over American dependence on oil -and the more-acute problem of having to pay so much for a gal-lon of gasoline. ' The group behind the Web site says the average fuel efficiency of 1999 model cars is just 23.8 miles per gallon, the lowest since 1980, reflecting the recent love
a f fa i r many buyers have for large sport utility vehicles and trucks.
Says the Web site: "In the 21st century, our automobiles are still running on 19th-century technology - technology that pol-lutes our air, harms our health and t h r ea t ens our children's future."
Another Web site, gasoline-protest. com, lets you see how bad Michigan is getting stung compared to other states. Also on this site, you can sign an online pe t i t ion p ro tes t ing the high costs.
Crackdown overdue Better late than never. Final-
ly, a coalition of federa l and state consumer protection agen-cies, helped by similar groups in a half dozen other countries, are cracking down on the thousands of Web sites that have been run-ning phony get-rich-quick schemes, work-at-home scams,

dubious online shopping mall "investment opportunities" and a whole slew of other multi-level marketing come-ons and rip-offs.
In all, about 1,600 fraud sites have been identified by the coali-tion so far. About 40 percent of them reportedly shut down or changed their pitches after being warned by the consumer agen-cies.
The ones that are still running are now being investigated for possible criminal charges. It's a start, I suppose. But I'd guess there are 5,000 other rip-off sites out there in cyberspace that are still trying to trick unsuspecting 'Net users into sending them money to make "fabulous returns" that inevitably turn out to be nothing.
Typical of the phony offers you can find on the 'Net are promises of income of $20,000 a month through vending machine busi-ness, $1,000 an hour from Web surfing, and $1 million through variations of pyramid schemes. Most such sites target stay-at-home moms, elderly people, dis-abled people and students who want to earn money from home.
Maybe the consumer agencies cracking down on f raud sites should have also looked at auto-
motive Web sites. An independent study by CNW
Marketing/ Research says auto-related Web sites often overstate the price of a new cars by thou-sands of dollars and that some sites allow consumers to config-ure cars and options t h a t automakers are unable to deliv-er.
The national study measured what eight Web sites claimed were the manufacturer ' s sug-gested retail prices and dealer invoice prices for 86 models against actual manufacturer 's data. "Considering that nearly 40 percent of new car buyers use the I n t e r n e t as pa r t of t he i r shopping process, such misinfor-mation is horribly misleading," the study said.
Internet drug bust There 's a major crackdown
under way aga ins t overseas pharmacies tha t are illegally using the Internet to sell power-ful drugs - mostly tranquilizers, steroids and the sex potency drug Viagra - without a doctor's prescription.
Nearly two dozen people have been a r r e s t ed in Tha i land , another six in the U.S. The charges involve illegal exporta-tion of drugs and marks the first
time U.S. customs agents have succeeded in busting overseas drug peddlers. ^
These arrests are only a start. Dozens of other online pharma-cies are still in business, as are lots of U.S.-based sites that use a doctor to read an online consul-tation form e-mailed by would-be "pat ients ." Based on the e-mailed form, and, of course, a valid credit card, the doctor then writes a prescription which is then sent by snail mail to the "patient."
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is trying to put a halt this practice ... but so far without much luck. Michigan a t torney general J e n n i f e r Granholm is among many state law enforcement officials also trying to halt the sale of danger-ous drugs online.
Free PC not a deal Before you jump on the free
PC bandwagon, be aware there have been a lot of complaints about some companies that bill your credit card and then don't deliver PCs for weeks or months. And if th ings go wrong with, these freebie PCs, customer sup-port is usually impossible to find. But what should we expect?
Free service with free PCs? Right now, I wouldn't recom-
mend any of these so-called these freebie systems if it is to be your only computer. Most have only limited expansion capabili-ties. But as a second system, hey ... free is good. Just don't expect too much. I've been throwing cold water on these deals for more t h a n a year now, and every th ing I hea r f rom con-sumers here in sou theas te rn Michigan has convinced me that I'm right in urging you to ignore the temptation.
Same goes with the free DSL service being offered around Detroit these days. The catch with this is you have to give your name to scads of advertisers who will bombard you with come-ons and sales pitches. Remember, as my Daddy used to say, you get what you pay for.

Plymouth Financial Corp. initiates stock offering The Western Wayne County
area is one step closer to gaining a community-owned bank -something missing from the local banking landscape for nearly 50 years.
That ' s because Plymouth Financial Corporation (PFC) has received preliminary approval from the s t a t e of Michigan's Financial and Insurance Ser-vices division to proceed with a stock offering for New Liberty Bank of Plymouth.
PFC, also of Plymouth, is the parent company for New Liberty Bank. It is currently offering approximately 800,000 shares of common stock exclusively to
Michigan res idents , with the bulk of sales being targeted to residents of the Plymouth/Can-ton/Northville area. The new bank is expected to begin opera-tion this fall.
The hallmark of New Liberty Bank will be its one-on-one per-sonal service approach to full-service, retail banking.
"In an area of mass banking mergers, bigger was thought to be be t te r , " . said Michael D. Weaver, chairman of Plymouth Financial Corporation and presi-dent and CEO of New Liberty Bank.
"New Liberty Bank is in a unique position to fill that niche.

Arthritis Today JOSEPH J . WEISS, M.D. RHEUMATOLOGY
Some day you may experience knee pain and swelling but x-rays show nothing wrong. In such instances, the last recommendation your doctor wiil make is to give you a prescription for pain and assure you that everything is ail right.
Actually, the opposite is true. Knee pain£ that are not explained as arthritis often have causes that are difficult to identify and hard to treat. The common culprits of such a problem are internal derangement of the knee and aseptic necrosis.
Internal derangement of the knee refers to a fray in the meniscal cartilage or a tear in the ligaments within and around the knee. You may have suffered an injury years ago but the effect of the damage may take lime, even years, to make itself known.
Aseptic necrosis is a condition in which a small blood vessel to bone near the joint, becomes clogged or cioses oft. The result of death of that bone, and loss of support for the knee joint. Often the reason why this occlusion of the artery occurs is unclear, though oral cortisone, heavy drinking and recent injury are known as predisposing causes.
The pain and swelling from either aseptic necrosis or internal derangement can come suddenly, and from your view, seemingly with a cause. Standard x-rays may not reveal the diagnosis, instead you need imagining by MRl to definitively confirm or deny the presence of either of these conditions.
In both, neither rest, joint aspiration, or physical therapy will suffice, resolution requires knee surgery.

overwhelmed by the noise, dust, and debris of a remodel-ing project, you have to plan ahead in two areas.
One is handling the construction project; the other is your altered family life.
Remove dust-sensi-tive items, everything
from CD players to antiques. Set up a temporary kitchen elsewhere, possibly in the laundry area. Stop dust: seal off doorways, vents and stairways. Put in temporary floor coverings and door-mats to protect the remaining floors and carpets. Be prepared to turn off your heat or A/C during any sanding. If you can, set aside a safe haven for yourself away from the commotion.
At a pre-construction meeting, set such parameters as where workers will park, their start and stop times, their use (or not) of your telephone or bathroom, and any presence of smok-ing or radios on the job. What areas of your home will be off limits to work-ers? How will security be handled? How will you assure that your chil-dren and pets stay out of the work areas and away from debris? Where will the trash container or, better yet, a t rash trailer be kept? Will the access to your garage be blocked? How much clean-up will you pay for: pick-up, sweep-up or vacuum. Will your utilities be interrupted? How far ahea:d will you be warned?
Communication between you and your contractor is important. Who will be the contact people for daily deci-sions or emergencies? Who are the back-ups? Make a place in the house for a securely anchored notebook or clipboard where the contacts can leave messages for one another.
With such forethought, remodeling can be an adventure with a reward you'll love for years to come.
John F. Moloney has been a remod-eler for 18 years, is owner of Boa Con-struction in Beverly Hills and is vice chairman for the Remodelers Council of the Building Industry Association.
Rolling, treed land will be home to sub The land, itself, is beautiful. And with 2-1/2 dozen different floor
plans offered by the three builders at Heron Ridge South in Canton com-bined, t h e r e are more t h a n enough choices to satisfy almost any want or need.
Lenwal Building, A&H Builders and Lewiston-Crescentini Homes each will build 30 detached-site condominiums off Warren just west of Ridge in the ini-tial phase of the development.
"It's a magnificent piece of land," said Jeffrey Brown, the developer. "It has a tremendous amount of roll to it, 11,000 t r ees on site. Tree removal is very selective.
"We've added to the n a t u r a l land-scape w i th day lilies, dogwood," he added. "There's five detention ponds with boulder walls. Lots for the Can-ton market are larger, a half-acre and up.
"It's in a very picturesque part of the township, a very quiet part of the town-ship. The goal was to develop the site w i th as l i t t l e impac t a s possible," Brown said.
"It's very tucked away," said Alvin Rubin, pa r t ne r with A&H Building. "Lots are secluded. From inside, you can't see any major streets."
"It's well-located at the end of the township, not heavily trafficked," said Jason Lewiston. "You can get to com-mercial areas quickly and retreat to a very p ic turesque , a lmost Up-North feel."
Heron Ridge is close to but not on top of the M-14/1-275 interchange.
"Br ia rwood is 20 m i n u t e s away, Twelve Oaks 25 minutes, 15 minutes to Metro Airport," said S tua r t Cykiert, partner a t Lenwal.
"Laurel Park is within 15 minutes, Ann Arbor is 20-25 m i n u t e s away, downtown Detroit is 35 minutes away" said Rubin , adding t h a t the qua in t downtowns of Plymouth and Northviile are also close.
Heron Ridge is within the Plymouth-C a n t o n school b o u n d a r i e s - "good MEAP scores," Cykiert added.
Lenwal offers 10 floor plans ranging in price from $360,900 for a ranch of 2,450 square feet with three bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths to $464,900 for a colo-nial of 3,900 square feet with four bed-rooms and 3-1/2 baths.
A&H Builders presents eight plans r ang ing from $369,000 for a 2,442-square-foot ranch with three bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths to $439,000 for a colo-nial of 3,832 square feet with four beds and 3-1/2 baths.

Lenwal has constructed two models. The Wellington II, a colonial, features
a dining room, living room, library, family room wi th ca thedra l ceiling, kitchen/ nook/ sitting room with pass-through wall and two half baths on the
, main floor. The master has two walk-in closets
and a two-sink vanity. A second bath upstairs has its own shower. Two other bedrooms and a full bath are up.

Two-way fireplace lights both great, dining rooms
The gazebo-styled front porch a d d s a specia l accent to t h e S t e r l i n g (G24-718). Curved windows in the garage, along wi th the o rna te dormer t r im and the trim along the roof line, have excellent eye appeal from the street.
A covered back porch with two skylights and stairs going down in to the backyard adds more room and comfort outside.
There are two entries found off the front porch - one leading to the kitchen area (which is the formal entry) or to the wash-room a r e a loca ted by t h e garage.
This helps with diminishing traffic for the expanded family and gives you more options to negate unnecessary runaround.
Located inside the entry bay is a closet large enough to keep all of the outdoor wear needed for your family.
To the left you'll find a fairly large nook with plenty of win-dows, which is p rac t i ca l for extra light on the inside.
• The kitchen area is large and open, located next to the nook.
The kitchen area is large and open, located next to the nook. You can reach the kitchen area from the washroom, the g rea t room or front entry way.
There is also a pass-thru pro-vided in th i s k i t chen located n e a r t he g r e a t room. T h i s makes the k i tchen accessible from more than one room and is very convenient for the medium-to large-sized family.
A f i r ep lace is be tween t h e great room and the dining »oom. This fireplace is neatly tucked out of the way but not so t h a t you cannot enjoy the firelight in bo th t h e d i n i n g a n d g r e a t rooms.
On the left side of the home you'll find the master suite with a large walk-in closet, a bath-room with a spa tub and dual sinks.
Bedrooms 2 and 3 both have" large walk-in closets and a batht-room with a linen closet outside its door for more convenience to" the average family.
There is a ledge seat found int Bedroom 3. This ledge isn't; large enough to sit on but perk fee t fo r some f avo red col£ lectibles, or may be used as £ poet's book ledge. r'

Thomas Ervin
Let's Talk About Real Estate
"CHANGING FROM A LOOKER TO A BUYER"
Do you consider yourself to be actively in search of a home to purchase, or are you just looking? Most buyers were once people who thought of themselves as casual shoppers until the right house came along. This process of change can happen over night or after a long and careful study of the real estate market. Here are some of the situations that prompt people to convert to motivated buyers:
E X I S T I N G H O M E N O L O N G E R T O L E R A B L E Some buyers don't want to move but they feel tha t their
present housing is not suitable. Perhaps the kids have moved out or the family has become too large for the room available. Maybe the location is not as convenient for present needs as it was before. Sometimes a move will occur because the existing house lacks an extra bathroom or bedroom that has become very necessary.
A C E R T A I N H O U S E B E C O M E S A V A I L A B L E It is not unusual for someone to buy another home only a
few blocks from their present property. Many present homeowners have their eye on a home they would love to own tha t they already have seen. Perhaps a friend's residence goes on the market in another area. There are, in fact, people who will move only if certain properties become available.
E M O T I O N A L I M P U L S E I am a big believer in buying with your heart. Maybe the
house has everything that suits a buyer's need. The question remains, however, do you like the place? Would you want to live there? Although a home purchase is a large ticket item, people do buy them on impulse. There are many examples of someone out for a Sunday drive who happens to notice an open house. Even though they had no intention of buying a home that day, they are committed to purchase Sunday evening.
ADVICE: Is it the time for you to become a homebuyer? You may not know how to answer this question because you don't have all the information you need. The best source of current data is your local Realtor®. He or she knows availability, values and financing. Ask him or her to look at your situation.

Job training's great, but my child's going to
college
S u n d a y jlily- 2 3 , 2 0 0 0 ;
£
BY DIANE GALE ANDREASSI SPECIAL WRITER
Some parents have dreams of their babies graduating Harvard Med-ical School. But the reality is that
not everyone will. So before high school graduation,
some students should be steered toward high-tech and health-related jobs that are going unfilled, some folks maintain.
Parents of Michigan seventh through 12th graders who were recently sur-veyed believe job training programs are beneficial, but they expect their chil-dren to have higher goals.
Learning how college-age students choose careers is the goal of the Part-nership for Career Decision-Making in Technologies and Health Sciences, launched in January by Ferris State University in cooperation with govern-ment leaders; as well as people in high-er education, health science, technology and industry fields throughout Michi-gan.
"We're particularly interested in why health science and high-tech industries have so many open positions," explained Jim Thorp, communications specialist and Ferris State partnership coordinator.
Unrealistic career goals must be addressed before students become seniors, explained study volunteer Anne Rosewarne, president of the Michigan Health Council, a non-profit organiza-tion dedicated to health career work issues.
"I have seniors who who say they want to be trauma surgeons and they have 'C' averages, poor attendance and little science and math," Rosewarne said. "We don't want to discourage young people, but there is some place where realistic skill assessments have got to come into play. They're not going to jobs where there are good opportuni-ties, longevity and good pay."
She also supports the idea of industry working closely with students.
"We're sending a large body of our students off to college with no idea of " what they want to do for some wasted years," she said.
In the health field, Thorp said, the types of jobs that most often go unfilled are nursing, radiology, physicians' assistants and lab technicians. Employ-ers are also looking for people in robot-ics, welding, lasers and computer inten-sive kinds of jobs. . Most of the randomly chosen 450 par-
ents who were surveyed said two to three years of post-high school educa-tion is enough for career success. Sev-enty-seven percent said it was impor-tant children be willing to consider a two- or three-year job training pro-gram. More than half also said they didn't believe there was embarrassment associated with job-training programs when compared to four-year college degrees.
But, the story changed when these parents applied this logic to their chil-dren. In fact, 91 percent said their chil-dren needed to have a degree from a
four-year college or university to begin a career, with 74 percent saying that while job training programs were important for children who need them, their children have the potential to achieve more.
Another important point that was learned from the survey was that par-ents play an important role in the deci-sion-making process. About half saw

Teachers bring many to the table
Dear Mr. Hayes: I have been an elementary school
teacher for many years and am interested in changing careers. When looking at job advertise-ments, I find it difficult to assess * what transferable skills I have and how to write a resume. Any sugges-tions?

GEORGE HAYES
Dear Carol: Teaching elemen-
tary school entails a number of skills that could be of interest to private sector employers, including: training, supervision, admin-istration, event organization, public speaking, sales, pro-ject management and many others. It certainly requires creative problem solv-ing, an ability to -respond quickly and accurately to situa-tions of varying types and skill in adjusting speech patterns to effectively convey concepts.
Years ago, I worked with a lady who had taken a sabbatical from convention-al work to raise kids for a few years. When she came back, her resume was packed with the new skills she had acquired: purchasing, inventory control, scheduling, budgeting and conciliation. She landed a job in the materials man-agement field.
This is do-able, but the best avenue , for you will be networking rather than the 'Visible" job market (ads and agen- „; cies). Employers are likely to pitch resumes that come in through conven-tional channels if they do not meet a ,r-. narrow set of job specifications. But

m cs themselves as the single strongest influence.
This was the most surprising result of the study to Rosewarne, who stressed the impor-tance of developing kid-friendly Inter-net programs that would give families more information about the job mar-ket.
"There are an incredible number
of job training and associate degree jobs that are secure and they pay more than the liber-al arts jobs," Rosewarne said. ' •"While parents play an important role, it all
centers around the students. ^Another part of the study surveyed 17- and
18-year-olds. Sixty-seven percent said they planned to attend a four-year college. rn-Most said they believed there were good
high-tech jobs available to people with less
jlta Thorp
than four-years of post-high school education. A whopping 79 percent said they wanted to be educated in a variety of careers and that job training would be Confining.
"Students are looking for flexibility with a four-year degree that they don't think they can achieve with less," Thorp said.
Some 93 percent said they planned to pur-sue post secondary education and 67 percent indicated they would attend a four-year col-lege or university.
"Everywhere you go you're being influ-enced to look into college," Thorp said. "When you flip through magazines there are ads for loans for college. No one ever says: 'Do you need money for job training or technical training?'
Not that college is a bad thing, of course, but there's a definite mindset that's perva-sive."
A final survey, due later this summer, will get input from middle school teachers, coun-selors, coaches and paraprofessionals.
All three surveys will be assessed and con-crete ideas about changing perceptions about job training and technical fields are expected by August.
networking contacts tend to be more imaginative about where you might fit, either within their own organiza-tions or in someone else's.
You might also consider some form of vocational testing to help identify areas of real interest and thereby develop a target field or industry.
One of the problems facing bright people is that they can be successful at almost anything. This is a "prob-lem" in that the subject of passion or interest is frequently subordinated to ability. It's why the kid voted most likely to succeed can end up miserable.
Dear George: Why doesn't everyone else real-
ize the incredible skills used in teaching young children? I am not sure I understand your com-ment about the "problem" that bright people have. Please explain. In my case, you are cor-rect about myriad interests and the high level of success at most-
things I try. I don't want to be miserable! Where do I get voca-tional testing?
Carol D.
Dear Carol: Here's the problem often experi-
enced by smart folks:
1.1 can be successful at virtually anything I choose (because I'm real smart). If I don't already have the skills required to do a job, I can cer-tainly acquire them quickly. There-fore, I can pick almost anything on the career menu.
2. Lots of things are of interest to me (smart people usually have a broad range of interests). I could get a lot of pleasure out of several differ-ent, but totally unrelated careers. Of course, I am operating on impres-sions and don't have a lot of first hand knowledge about what many jobs entail on a daily basis.
3. Dang! If I decide to become an accountant, I will forego becoming a veterinarian. And if I decide to become a veterinarian, I will never know how cool being an architect might have been. What the heck am I supposed to do?
Many college placement offices provide vocational testing. Some-times, you don't even have to be an alumna. No test will tell you exactly what you should be doing and every test should be taken with a grain of salt. But tests can be helpful in pointing out some general directions and possible areas to explore. There are many good ones, but the Strong Interest Inventory, Jackson Vocation-al Interest Survey and Kuder Prefer-ence Record come to mind.

Hamster saved from disastro dashboa death
BY EILEEN MCCARVILLE STAFF WRITER
Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stir-ring, not even a . . . hamster. That's because
the hamster was running around behind the dashboard of Dana Fortinberry's minivan.
Let's back up a few miles. As Fortinberry tells it, she was en route to a
babysitter's house to hide the future family addi-tion until the big day. The hamster's "equipment," the cage, toys, etc., were stashed away at Clark-ston Chrysler Jeep, a dealership owned by her husband, Chuck.
The rest of the story, as they say, made history — at least in the Clarkston family's home — where it has become a "treasured" holiday memo-ry.
For obvious reasons, Fortinberry had already nicknamed the rodent "Squeaky," and was chat-
%

ting with him while he scritch-scratched in a box, resembling a Chinese take-out container, in the front seat.
"I headed toward the house. All of a sudden, I didn't hear this scritch, scratch, scrich anymore." Panicking, Fortinberry pulled off the road and. opened the box. Horrified, she found the hamster had chewed a hole through the bottom and escaped.
But to where? "He was nowhere to be found — so I began
searching the car. I was also looking for a squished hamster," she added.
Exasperated, Fortinberry pulled into the Chrysler service bay to check out the problem. It was important because it was the last hamster at the pet store and Christmas was right around the corner.
The service men surrounded the car. At one point there was a breakthrough. Fortinberry
pulled out her CD player and a pair of beady eyes peeked out. She tried "to lure (the hamster) out with treats."
After several tries, she realized it was futile and the service men "ended up detaching the whole piece (of dashboard). When they pulled it off, we saw the little thing."
Fortunately, Fortinberry caught "Squeaky" just before he was about to high-tail it through an air vent. Victorious, she hoisted him high in the air.
By now there was a crowd gathering. "Every-body in the service bay erupted. The customers started yelling." Meanwhile, her boys were wait-ing at school to be picked up by their mother. She called Chuck, who arrived instead, explaining their mother's absence with a great punch line:
"Oh, she's got a squeak in her dashboard. She's getting it fixed at the dealership."
Service employees say this is a common occur-

Hamster from page HI
reace at dealerships. Except, most of the time, the rodent isn't a pet, b u j a common field mouse. They've helped many a customer solve this "knock" in their engines.
Jack Demmer dispatcher Mike Lapum agreed. "We do find vajniints often under the hood quite a bit, especially in the spring ami fall. It's mostly the people who live in the outer suburban areas," he* said.
p i e mice find "a warm place for nesting" inside. Lapum refers to it asofree room and board "People keep their dog food and bird seed in th£ garage. The mice have a place to live. Now they've got a place to ea|."
Sometimes people s tar t their cars-, "and (the mice) get sucked into the exhaust. It can cause (the car) not to run," he added.
b the r times, mice are found in the air filters. "They get in through th£ wheel well," said Rob Robinson, service advisor for Red Holman Pcjjitiac/Toyota in Westland. "We once had a gentlemen bring his car infthree times." After every repair and cleaning, the little critter would return.
^Finally, he got smart and put some mouse traps down," Robinson
said. A mouse nested in fuel injection wires "caused a misfire in the sys-
tem," said Kendall Hensler, service advisor at Al Dittrich Oldsmo-bile-GMC-Aurora in Waterford. "The wires were functioning, but it was shorting out."
Field mice stories aren't the only tales told. Other strange and unusual incidents follow.
"One time a customer came in for a little rattle in the dash. It turned out to be these huge black walnuts inside the air vent," Hensler said.
Lapum reports foul odors. One time a customer "forgot" about the gallon of milk she bought at the grocery store.
It spilled in her Windstar. "It had a really bad smell." The vehicle had to be replaced with all-new carpeting. "We also took all the seats out and power washed the minivan. There was actually (spoiled) milk underneath the carpeting, between the carpeting and the metal."
Still, the smell remained. "She ended up trading it in," Lapum said, laughing. He urges customers to "check all groceries" before exiting.
Steve Glazer, assistant service manager at Al Dittrich, remembers a bird that "flew in and bumped his head on the dashboard. We found him under the carpeting," which left "a dead animal smell."
Then, there are careless incidents, like the customer whose kids turned on some power spotlights in the vehicle. "They burned a whole in his carpeting, an eight-inch circle," Glazer said. "(Their father) found it an hour later. He was lucky on that one." *
He also mentioned people who "live in their cars," including a man -who decided to fry breakfast on top of his engine.
"He was out cooking eggs on his motor in a little pan or piece of tin foil," Glazer said. However, tha t wasn't what burned the car. "He had his space heater plugged into the cigarette lighter and it tipped over. The car caught fire. It was totaled."
The odor was so foul the dealership have to replace the pad under the carpeting. "We also put the car on an ozone machine for four hours. It kills all the foul molecules in the vent." Glazer said the process also aids in eliminating the smell of smoke.
Lapum can't forget the time a customer brought in a car in which someone had vomited. Some of the substance worked its way into the air vents. "Every time they turned the heat on . . . , " Lapum said with a pause.
Well, you get the picture. Customers have also been known to leave their babies' diapers on
the dash, he added. "It produced a smell t h a t . . . " he said, searching for the right
word," . . . isn't very good."
