Dad says daughter has mental problem in

The father of a 20-year-old Canton resi-dent charged with drowning her 11-month-old son in the bathtub of her apartment said Friday his daughter has a history of mental health problems.

"I just want the public to be aware that Jennifer has a history of mental health problems," Frank St John of Berkley said following his daughters arraignment "She had been hospitalized for six to eight weeks recently. She was on medication."

Jennifer Ann Aveiy, was arraigned in 35th District Court Friday on

the first degree, one count of felony murder, both of which carry potential life sentences, and first-degree child abuse, a 15-year felony. A plea of not guilty was entered for her and she was remanded to the Wayne County Jail without bond by Magistrate Eric Colthurst

A preliminary exam is scheduled Nov. 7.

Aveiy was arrested on Wednesday after making a 9-1-1 call to Canton Police and telling them that her son, Bryan, had slipped in the bathtub and was not breath-ing. The 9-1-1 operator talked her through performing CPR on the child until police and paramedics arrived.

Bryan was transported to Annapolis Hospital in Wayne where he was pro-nounced dead on arrival.

Avery's husband, Christopher, was not at home at the time of the incident

At Friday's video arraignment Canton Detective Chad Baugh testified that Avery confessed to drowning her son.

Asian Indians bring in the New Year BY JOANNE MAUSZEWSKi

Approximately 5;000 guests made a Ml day celebrating the Asian Indian cul-ture and community.

Scheduled originally 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Oct 18 at the Ford Performing Arts Center in Dearborn, there were so many people and so many things to do and see that doors didn't close until 9:30 p.m., said Anand Kumar, who hosted India Fest 2003.

"Get out and stay out." That was essentially the message a Canadian judge delivered to Canton resident Kirk Jones on Thursday.

State launches new lottery games NEW GAMES BY BRAD KADRICK

:STAFF WRITER •4

Super Bowl in Canton will join £sbme 1,000 Class C liquor license ; establishments that have signed up ; as vendors for Club Keno drawings.

Faced with flattening revenue rates *£nd competition from some 20 casi-n o s in Michigan, the Bureau of State ; Lotteryis turning to local bars and ; restaurants in hopes of generating .more money.

Nearly 1,000 establishments with -Class C liquor licenses — licensed to spll alcohol by the glass — have Signed up as vendors for a pair of James that launch Monday. Club Jteno drawings and pull-tab tickets are expected to bring the state some ' $50 million in revenue, money ; Lottery Commission director Gary ; Peters says is essential with stiff com-> petition from casinos. ! "There are 20 casinos in the state, ' plus Windsor," Peters said. "Our rev-enues have flattened out, principally because of the casinos. Michigan is a competitive market."

Peters hopes the introduction of the new games will jump-start lottery revenues which, after hitting $1.73

billion in 1998-gg, have leveled off to an average of Si.67 billion the last four years. The games will initially be available in about 900 spots around the state, but Peters said the list could grow to as many as 2,000. There are some 7,500 Class C liquor licenses issued in the state, he said.

According to Peters, the new games could be an economic plus in several ways. Not only will it substan-tially increase lottery revenue, it will by law grow the state's education fund, which saw some $600 million from the lottery last year. Lottery ticket sales have deposited some $11 billion in the state education fund since its inception in 1972.

Mike Reffitt, Super Bowl manager, was unavailable for comment.

The new games will also be a boon to business owners, providing them another revenue stream and an addi-tional entertainment option for patrons. Vendors pay a $150 licens-ing fee and $420 to wire the estab-lishment for the game, then realize a 6-percent commission on sales and 2 percent of prize bonuses.

"This is attractive to them as an entertainment option for their cus-tomers," Peters said. "In addition to

the commission, you traditionally see a 10-20 percent bump in food and drink sales."

Club Keno is styled after the Las Vegas game, with drawings every five minutes from 6 a.m, to 1 a.m. Patrons will pick 20 numbers, and win prizes based on how many of those num-bers are among the 20 drawn. The top prize is $1 million if 10 of the numbers are among those picked.

Pull-tab tickets are instant winners if the right sequence of figures appears in the window of the ticket. They also aren't such a newcomer to the lottery scene; according to Peters, the state already sells some $230 million worth of pull-tabs to charita-ble organizations for use as fund-raisers.

While Peters extols the virtues of the games to bars and restaurants, saying they'll keep patrons in estab-lishments longer and raise revenues, critics say the games could exacer-bate the problems of alcoholics and

Here's a list of local loca-tions that will conduct the' new Club Keno and pull-tab ticket lottery games':

Plymouth Plaza Lanes, 42001 Ann Arbor Road, both games, Sheehan's on the Green, 39450 Five Mile Road, both games.

Canton Township Super Bowl, 45100 Ford Road, both games.

Arnold Keller, the executive direc-tor of Psychotherapy and Counseling Services in Northville, has been working with addictive disorders for 28 years, and he is concerned about

the impact such wide-spread availability of these games will have.

"This is very likely to bring new people into the compulsive gam-bling fold," Keller said. "There may be young 21-year-olds who have never been to a casino or racetrack, and now they're facing their first opportunity to become addicted to gambling."

Peters acknowledges the problem, and points out the state already takes steps to help. The state puts out a pamphlet on the dangers of gam-bling, and tickets will include a toll-free hotline where problem gamblers can get immediate help.

"They get a live person, with coun-seling provided regardless of their financial situation," Peters said. "Problem gambling is a problem, and we want to address that. The vast majority (of players) will be playing it for fun."

Keller said that's a good start, but probably won't be enough.

"That's probably the most they can

do, once they proliferate the activity throughout the state,3 Keller said. "On the other hand, it doesn't make up for the fact they may be bringing in tens of thousands of new compul-sive gamblers who require treatment. Most gamblers don't know they need treatment. Denial is tremendous,, so the majority aren't going to call that number." . . ,

Psychotherapy and Counseling Services can . be reached through a 24-hour hotline, (248) 348-1100.

A long-awaited township audit of Comcast cable is soon' to get under way.

Township Supervisor Tom Yack said the audit, which the township routinely conducts of companies with whom it has contracts, has been delayed for several months due to disagreements between the township and the cable provider as to how far back the books should be audited.

"The difficulty is too many people got their fingers in the pie," he said. "Comcast has only had this system about two years and they've gone through a whole change in

He said the township hired an auditing firm that special-izes in cable providers.

"Early on the engagement letter we had with that compa-ny went back to 1995," he said. "Comcast's initial reaction was, 'No, we're not going to do that. It's too far back.'"

Then, he said, the two par-ties started arguing over lan-guage in the contract.

"There's language that says they have to keep three years of records in their local office," he said. "They think that means the audit is limited to three years."

Last week township and Comcast officials got together

to agree on terms of the audit. "They walked in and said,

'Why don't we agree to focus on the last three years and if there's a problem either way we'll go back/" Yack said. "But this company has been sold so many times that the records ' are less than sterling."

"Right now I think we've got it solved," said Mike Ager, resource development manag-er for the township. "They've changed ownership a number of times and often when you change ownership, you change bookkeeping methods."

Mike Gilman, Comcast director of communications for Michigan, said the compa-

ny is working with the town-ship to provide the needed information.

"We're working on it," he said. "It's going to take a little time trying to find the infor-mation they want. It's fairly complicated just checking the rates and fees. I have no infor-mation that there's anything abnormal. It's just a periodic audit of fees"

Gilman said Comcast took over the cable system from AT&T in January 2001. Before that it was MediaOne.

"We've been working on this for eight months," Ager said. "Hopefully we've gotten things resolved." •

BY JOANNE MALISZEWSKI STAFF WRITER

Octoberfest in Heritage Park again drew some 4,000 kids and parents.

"It turned out great!" said Bob Dates, town-ship recreation coordinator, "It's our kids Halloween celebration. It's redly a festival. It is one of our largest events, next to the Liberty Pest."

Sure enough. There was plenty for kids and parents to spend the day in activities, listening to performers, some strolling, others on stage in a large tent, magicians, and of course, enough paints and good artsy stuff to send the kids home with projects of their own.

"Our staff helps them make a craft," Dates said.

Farmer John's Barnyard Express - Ml of all Idnds of farm animals - kept the kids mesmer-ized, as did miniature train rides and inflatable toys.

"The main even was the trick-or-treat trail," Dates said.

Seven stops were set up in the park for kids to make a stop and pick up treats and participate in activities.

Families are also encouraged to bring their pumpkins in for weighing. This year's big one topped 1X2 pounds.

It may not make them inter-national stars, but the Spotlight Players are willing to give them a shot.

A number of local officials will make debut cameo appearances in the theater group's first production - Neil Simon's The Odd Couple -Nov. 7, 8 ,9 and 14,15, and 16 at the Summit on the Park in Canton.

"This is our transition year," said Mary Lynn Kuna, board member for the Spotlight Players, formerly the Plymouth Theater Guild.

The transition is about mov-ing to Canton, specifically the Village Theater at Cherry Hill, when completed in 2004. "Tom Yack has been so sup-portive," Kuna said, referring to the township supervisor. "We asked him to do a cameo role. He asked if he could also get others involved. He lined up the rest of the cameos."

And they are - in no order of importance -Yack (Nov. 7), state Rep. Phil LaJoy (Nov. 8), 35th District Judge Mike Gerou (Nov. 9), Canton Library Board member Dr. Jim Gillig (Nov. 14), Canton Township trustee Karl Zarbo (Nov. 15), and Plymouth-Canton Superintendent Jim Ryan (Nov. 16).

"They say it's brief" said Ryan, about his cameo appear-ance. He hasn't been told whether or not he has lines to memorize. "I can't sing and I certainly can't act."

Ryan said he was asked by Yack to make an appearance. "Our two townships and city are good to us. How could I say no?" But Ryan doesn't plan to switch his career and head for Broadway. He's just hoping he doesn't embarrass himself, but is happy to help the com-munity.

Though renamed Spotlight Players, members are deter-mined to keep their decades-long history in the public eye.

'Tom Yack has been so supportive. We asked him to do a cameo role. He asked if he could also get others involved. He lined up the rest of the cameos.' Mary Lynn Kuna Spotlight Players board member I

When plans were discussed some 10 years ago to build the new performing arts center in Canton, the Players were asked to become the resident theater group. That required a. name change. The group used to perform in Northville and when the Village Theater is complete, it will have a perma-nent home in Canton.

Meanwhile, the Spotlight Players will perform at dinner theaters at the Summit. "It's a nice night out for mom and dad," Kuna said.

Tickets are $30, which C includes dinner and the per-formance. Reservations must be made by calling (734) 394-5460 - charge by phone with Visa or MasterCard only.

"We were looking for some-thing classic, funny and well-known," Kuna said, of the decision to perform The Odd Couple. "We are trying to start a patron base so we wanted something familiar."

The Odd Couple is about neat and fastidious Felix Unger and Oscar Madison, a sloppy sports writer. Divorced, Unger and Madison decide to room together. The play is about their unlikely friendship and their life in a New York apartment.

The play is directed by Barbara Bloom of Canton. She has already directed 65 shows, several for the Spotlight Players. She is a theater gradu-ate from Wayne State University, but moved to the

Minneapolis area where she built up her resume.

"I'm a professional actress -sing, dance, act. I did a lot of road shows, auto shows, mod-eling," Bloom said.

Directing for dinner theater - a first for the Spotlight Players - is different than for a traditional stage.

"For one thing we are work-ing on a portable stage. Set wise there are some constric-tions. And the cast has to be aware that people may be

not," Bloom said. The cast includes Canton

residents Rob Bovitz, Tim Bruch and Jerry Carney; Plymouth resident Karen Southworth; Livonia resident Larry Rajda; Northville resi-dent Marian Fedewa; and Dearborn Heights resident Sean Paraventi.

"Our claim to fame is that we are open to everyone," Kuna said.

That means everyone is wel-come to participate. Joining the Spotlight Players costs $20 a year. But you can join in the fun without being a member, unless you are part of the cast. "Join up. Whatever your inter-est is," Kuna said. Cast or crew, or anything else associated with a production is open.t"We have taken people who don't know a drill from a screwdriv-er and they end up putting up

The Players board is form-ing a recruitment list for direc-tors, who are asked to apply. "We are actively looking for people," Kuna said.

The theater group is plan-ning to debut Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Oct. 8 ,2004 after the Village Theater opens. That will be followed by The Man Who Came to Dinner and Bye-Bye Birdie.

Rev. Winfred A. Koelpin The Rev. Winfred A,

Koelpin, 84, retired pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church (Wisconsin Synod) in Livonia, died Oct. 21 after a brief bat-tle with cancer. He spent v

almost 43 years in the active \ pastoral ministry, serving con-%

gregations in Mosinee, Wis., and Toledo from 1944 to 1956. He then accepted the call to St. Paul's-Livonia, where he spent more than 30 years of ministry until his retirement in 1986.

The Rev; Koelpin had a love for the parish ministry. He especially loved the privilege of preaching and always put a tremendous amount of time into his sermon preparation. He had a passion for souls that showed itself in both his zeal to instruct new people in the message of salvation and in his support for the work of World Missions for the Wisconsin Synod. His inter-est in stewardship also led him into active participation on the Wisconsin Synod's first Board for Information and Stewardship. Missions and stewardship remained pas-sions of his throughout his life.

A voluminous reader of many religious periodicals and magazines, he amassed an extensive file on virtually

- any religious topic imagina-ble, which became an invalu- * able resource in his ministry and also for many other cler-gymen and laymen alike. This reading and filing of religious articleswas often done long after his daily duties to his congregation were done. Other hobbies included gar-dening and barbecuing.

The Rev. Koelpin is sur-vived by his wife of 59 years, Ruth Koelpin, Their marriage was blessed with four chil-dren, the Rev. Daniel Koelpin . of Waukesha, Wis., the Rev. Philip Koelpin of Tucson, Ariz., Barbara Kiepke of Flagstaff, Ariz., and Katherine Schuessler of Livonia.

They also had 15 grandchil-dren and 12 great-grandchil-dren. Seven of their grand-sons and grandsons-in-law are either Wisconsin Synod pastors or preparing for the ministry. A strong family man, Koelpin was both pleased and thankful that so many of his family followed in his footsteps into the ministry.

Funeral services were held on Oct. 24 at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Livonia with burial following at Glen Eden Memorial Parkin Livonia.

Memorial contributions may be made to either St.

\ Paul's or the Wisconsin Synod (WELS) World Missions. Arrangements made by Schrader-Howell Funeral Home.

They thought it was just a big dog at first. When Gary Galloway got out his binocu-lars, he didn't see a dog.

"I said, 'that's definitely a coyote or a fox.'" Immediately the Canton resident got out his digital camera with a tele-photo lens and began clicking away.

"I zoomed in on him," Galloway said. "I was stand-ing here at the back sliding door. That was as close as I could get with the camera"

Galloway and his wife, \ Suzanne, were feeding their x

two-week-old baby boy, Wyatt, when they saw the coy-ote walk up to a nearby pond about 60 yards from his house.

"He stayed at the edge of the water for about two or three minutes. He wanted something in the water, but didn't want to go into the water to get it," Galloway.

The coyote then looked at the pond for a bit, then cir-cled off around it and went through the woods to yet another pond, Galloway said.

"We have a lot of deer back

there," said Galloway's neigh-bor Pat Mullins. "Right now the raccoons are tearing up the lawns looking for grubs."

Galloway got on the Internet to look for informa-tion about coyotes. He learned that they travel alone or with a mate. They do not travel in packs.

"This one had black spots all over him," Galloway said.

He checked that out on the Internet and he didn't come across any information about coyotes with black spots.

Galloway said he is not con-cerned about a coyote in his backyard. As far as his research uncovered, there -have been no reported coyote attacks on humans.

"It doesn't worry us. My' : guess is that they are building the entire area. Even more so lately. Most of the woods have been pushed down because of new subdivisions. They are , just pushing wildlife out everywhere."

Kirk Jones, 40, of Canton, got the world's attention Monday when he made a successful fail over Niagara Falls in Canada.

JUMPER FROM PAGE A1

Cola before the jump. No one answered the tele-

phone at the Jones home on Friday. After being released f rom jail, he was reportedly whisked away in an SUV by a New York City producer for "Inside Edition." Keith Jones told an Observer reporter the day after Kirk went over the falls that he had already been contacted by "Inside Edition."

All of the hoopla sur-rounding the incident was viewed skeptically by Plymouth resident Mary Lynn Kuna, who lived in Niagara Falls, Ontario, for

about a year 18 years ago. "It's a large tourist area,"

she said. "The authorities are very conscientious and try to make it a safe place. To have people ignore safety precautions puts rescuers' lives at risk for stunts."

She said the Canadians are very concerned about people being careless in the falls viewing area.

"People would slip, partic-ularly in the winter," she said.

"To have people doing it deliberately is so unneces-sary. What 's infuriating is that it does endanger inno-cent people. Someone who does it for publicity is endangering other people whose job it is to rescue and protect."

When that came to light more than a year later, it only served to heighten the nation's disillu-sionment with the war - and the world's disillusionment with America.

involved associated such as removing gold fillings from the teeth of corpses. One soldier allegedly cut off a baby's head to get a necklace.

This was at aperiod when most soldiers and civilians still believed we were winning in Vietnam. My Lai came after the terrifying Tet Offensive, which proved to everyone that the notion of speedy victory was an illusion.

When some soldiers finally did get their complaints through, the Army and the U.S. government finally began an investigation years later, found it was all substantially true - and then covered it up. In an irony of ironies, the reports were appar-ently landing on the desk of White House Chief Counsel John Dean, at a time when he had other things on his mind, such as desperately struggling to cover up the Watergate scandal.

The world knows that had Richard Nixon owned up to and apologized for what he later called "a third-rate burglary," he would never have had to resign.

Had someone owned up to Tiger Force earlier - had the Army swooped down; made arrests, performed court-mar-tials, and apologized, experts interviewed for the series said My Lai would certainly never have happened. But nobody knew. 1

What happened to the Tiger Force investigation? When asked about it, Dean said he didn't recall, and added, "The government doesn't like ugly

What Tiger Force did is a stain on the two million decent Americans who went to Vietnam, not because they wanted to but because they had to. Men (and a few women) who died in their thousands, autoworkers and farmers from Livingston County and drag rac-ers from Detroit who dreamed of being somebody.

That dream finally became reality two years ago. For years, Vietnam veterans, have been fighting to prove to society they aren't all crazed psychos.

Now they have to deal with the legacy ofTiger Force, and of the one veteran who cheerfully admitted his role, and added "the only thing I regret is that I didn't kill more."

That the editors of this paper made such a commitment of time and money and space says something very healthy about journalism in a day when too many large chain operations devote their resources to chroni-cling drivel and mindless scan-dal.

Or perhaps its real meaning is that we are still a nation secure enough to allow a free press to expose our worst flaws, and secure enough to face up to

Until we improve city conditions, school problems will continue BY A l CHURCHILL

I n a recent Observer column I concerning Plymouth phi-• lanthropist Bob Thompson

and the political maneuvering surrounding his offer to build 15 charter schools in Detroit, Hugh Gallagher criticized somewhere near 3,000 teach-ers who went to Lansing,

ation of ( Mr, Thompson's concern for

Detroit's schools is a wonderful example for all of us. He is to be given immense respect But perhaps the issue of charters needs to be examined apart from Mr. Thompsons offer.

Ever since "A Nation at Risk" was presented to us during the Reagan administration, there has been a constant drumbeat of negative commentary con-cerning the inoperable cancer embodied in our public schools. They are failing we are told.

Well, I don't know. James Harvey, director of the

staff that aided in constructing the "Risk" report, has recently stated that there were many compromises made in crafting that paper. The positive expres-sions related to our schools have rarely been given public exposure. But they were most certainly there during

Instead, when President Reagan introduced "Risk" to the country, he called for prayer in schools and elimination of the Department of Education. Neither was embodied in the recommendations made by the Commission. Some folks, using international test scores as jus-tification, proposed charters, vouchers and the use of tax credits as a remedy for public schools.

But how well children do on standardized tests is deter-mined by a number of factors, many of which are outside the control of schools and, perhaps more importantly, are not equal from country to country, district to.district, or from child to child. It is not by accident that, year after year, results of MEAP tests show school dis-

ty doing Jess well than districts that are relatively advantaged.

Among the factors that determine a child's perform-ance on standardized tests are parental and community involvement, community val-ues, genetic material, motiva-tion, work ethic, class size, quality of curriculum, instruc-tional resources and quality of teachers.

Standardized tests have valife in their application to individual children and as a tool to evaluate the quality of curriculum, identifying both strengths and weaknesses and allowing appropriate remedy. They cannot be used to com-pare quality across schools when the conditions conducive to learning are inherently dif-ferent

In tiae case of international school systems, neither die sys-tems nor curriculums always have a high degree of correla-tion with American schools. Germany, for example, puts its children on different tracks very early in their schooling. We, on the other hand, give all children an equal chance at success. Some curriculums introduce subjects at a different grade level than we do. Indeed, our values concerning children are different Do we want to expose our children to the stress that Japanese children. experience during their educa-tion?

I suspect that learning is x more readily internalized when it is a pleasant experience.

Whether we like it or not "A Nation at Risk" has been used as part of a political strategy as much as a serious study of America's schools. Unfortunately for those involved, the solutions they offer are flawed.

There is plenty of evidence suggesting that vouchers and charter schools, at best do no better than public schools. For example, contrary to what the Department of Education's Web site suggests, the RAND Corp. says that "Charter schools have comparable or slightly lower test scores than conventional public schools after adjusting for the ethnic

and demographic characteris-tics of the students." Other studies confirm that finding.

There is also plenty of evi-dence that generally, American schools are doing quite nicely, thank you.

Those children and schools that are not doing well are often in urban and rural areas. Clearly, these schools need attention. But if we do not con-cern ourselves with the condi-tion of die communities where these children live, it can be said, without fear of contradic-tion, that efforts aimed at the schools alone will fail

Along with certified teachers capable ofpassing a love of learning onto their students, smaller class size, affordable day care, on-site care with job training, pre-kindergarten schooling and assistance for struggling mothers going back to school, how about working with parents to improve their parenting skills?

There is much that can be done if we have the will to bol-ster institutions that are vital to our democracy.

There is much that we should not do as well.

James Harvey says that we need to rein in a terrible obses-sion with testing, which he calls the latest "weapons of mass instruction." The punitive and absolutely screwy expectations built into the "A Whole Lot of Children Left Behind Act* is a good example.

Nor do we need more char-ters. Those willing to look closely at America's public schools, from kindergarten through college, just might find educational institutions that are die envy of much of the world.

become more energetic in defending their profession. Until they do, they are going to continue being used as punch-ing b a p by people who game the discussion by talking louder and longer, sometimes disin-genuously.

Next time, there will be a retired UAWguy marching in lockstepwith the teachers.

start, Schoolcraft College's volleyball team regrouped and reasserted Itself for a 27-30, 30-18, 33-31, 30-22 victory over Flint Mott CC In a Eastern Conference match Thursday at Mott. Holly Soldenski sparked the comeback win, collecting a team-high 11 kills off the bench, Liz Fredlund had nine kills.

Defensively, Caitlin O'Hara was the Ocelots' leader with 14 digs. Meghan McAuliffe and Stephanie . Koslowskl had two service aces apiece and Kelly Sines con-tributed 28 set assists.

Others coach Tom Teeters singled out for praise were Mayssa Bazzi and Katrlna Napier on defense and Kathleen Knutson (from Westland John Glenn), whose four kills and two blocks "helped turn the fourth game into a rout," Teeters said. The win pushed SC's record to 23-10 overall, 11-1 in the con-ference, with a key match against confer-ence-leader St. Clair County CC set for 7 p.m. Thursday at SC. Firstrhowever, the Ocelots must face Oakland CC at 7 p.m. Tuesday at SC.

Eagles shut down Roeper to gain title

Here's one excuse a coach won't be able to use unfamiliarity.

At least not in the Division IV state soccer p l a y o f f So far, two of the three teams Plymouth Christian Academy has gone up against are teams it knew frotnl Michigan Independent Athletic Conference play.

On Tuesday, the Eagles will probably extend thaK*-streak to three-of-four (depending if Auburn HiUs"^> Oakland Christian advanced out of its district - > ' Saturday, which it was expected to do) in the opening; round of Division IV regional play Utesday.

PCA got that far by blanking MIAC rival 7 Bloomfield Hills Roeper 2-0 in Friday's district final*' at PCA. The win pushes the Eagles' record to 17-2-3*;% overall. ;

Lew Tripp scored both goals for PCA, getting one -; in each half. The first came with an assist credited t d • keeper Matt Saagman.

The second came five minutes into the second half,' withTim Maes earning the assist.

Saagman and the Eagles' defense did the rest, frus-trating the Roughriders' offense by maintaining ball possession.

"Our No. 1 concern was to control the midfield," said PCA coach Terry Bixler, "because we knew ; -(Roeper) don't ever give up. And we got some out- ^ standing play from our midfielders, (Nathan) Bixler," Maes, and both Drew and Steve Gallagher, and Tripp on defense and (Tim) Oswalt on offense." -

If there's a secret to PCAs success, it's in the num--bers — and it's not much of a secret. Oswalt has -Z scored 28 goals this season; Tripp has 18 and Dan ^ Carty has 17. Then there's Steve Gallagher with seven.

"It's hard for (an opponent) to stop us," said Bixler; "That's the secret to our team. They can come out and mark Lew, and we've got Tim and Dan to go to.

"You can't mark one guy and beat us." • Putting the ball in the net clearly has not been a problem for PCA this season. But if the Eagles are to continue their state tournament run, they'll have to continue to control the play in the midfield and use

SC women 1 win from NJCAA trip

The optimism generated by Schoolcraft College women's soccer coach Bill Tolstedt is impenetrable. Which means one must weight his opinions regarding the opposition carefully before drawing any con-

Prior to Wednesday's NJCAA Region 12 showdown at Cincinnati State, Tolstedt was confident He thought his Ocelots, who had beat-en Cincinnati State 2-1 earlier in the season and didn't play well doing it, were capable of doing much better.

"We played well the first time,

1 WOMEN'S SOCCER '

but the girls were more worried about losing than going all out to win" he said.

That, and the impressive per-formances posted by SC since that time, were enough to keep Tolstedt's optimism afloat "I just thought we would dominate and do really well," he said.

Well, he was right. The Ocelots owned Cincinnati State at every level, offensively and defensively, steamrolling their way to a 5-0 tri-umph. The win boosted SC, now ranked second in the NJCAAs Division I, to 13-0-0 overall. Only Lewis and Clark CC (St. Louis), also unbeaten, is ranked ahead of the Ocelots.

SC now advances to the NJCAA Districts against the winner of the Region IV-Region VIII game. Hie district final will be Nov. 8 in Chicago.

"We denied them any shots on our goal," Iblstedt noted. "To deny a team like Cincinnati State any shots on goal at all is just outstand-ing.

"I'm feeling really good about our chances."

In the win at Cincinnati State, Erica Ahrens (from Canton) got things going for the Ocelots, scor-ing two goals. She also set up a goal scored by Sarah Plymale (Canton). Ahrens has 11 goals on the season, seven in the last three games.

The stage is set, and Salem's girls basketball team made certain it would be by thump-ing Livonia Stevenson 48-31 Thursday in a Western lakes Activities Association girls basketball game at Salem.

The win kept the Rocks unbeaten in the WLAA at 9-0 — the same conference record as Canton's. Salem is 11-4 overall. Stevenson fell to 9-7

"One of our goals tonight was to match Canton's win total in the league, and we di that," said Salem coach Fred

Salem and Canton are the WLAA's only unbeaten teams. They play each other at 7 p-m. Tuesday at Canton.

Against Stevenson, the Rocks did not start particular-ly well but they certainly asserted themselves in the • middle two quarters. Salem led 10-7 after one period, then outscored the Spartans 31-18 in the second and third quar-ters to take a 41-25 lead into the fourth.

"We've been playing really solid basketball; said Thomann. "Part of that is

On Hiesday, Stevenson had taken Canton down to the wire before losing by two points. In that game, Lauren TVosell scored 11 points to lead the Spartans. But against doJ€uiy wiui wneauey sna owing her, the junior guard was ineffective.

The Rocks continued to get balanced scoring, with four players scoring between eight and 13 points. Ellen Canale led Salem with 13 points; Teresa Coppiellie contributed 12, Kathy Hammerschmidt scored 10 andAlyssa Guerin had eight

Stevenson got 10 points apiece from Amy Bodnar and Rachel Desentz,

The win was Salem's 10th in a row.

On Hiesday, the Salem-vs.-Canton junior varsity game also promises to be a spectacle worth watching. Each team has lost just once thus far this season. Salem's JV improved

Now it's something special. Canton completed its first-ever

undefeated regular season in foot-ball, and the Chiefs did it by crushing cross-campus rival Salem 55-21 Friday.

Now Canton gets ready for the Division I football playoffs. Pairings will be announced on FOX at 5:30 p.m. Sunday. The Chiefs should have home-field advantage through the first two weeks of the playoffs. Whoever they play in the opening round, that game will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Canton.

"We've got to enjoy being 9-0 for a minute," said Canton coach Tim Baechler after the victory. "This is my first unbeaten season in 12 years of coaching. This is huge for us."

Like any coach, Baechler did

not go into Friday's game believ-ing his team could win without breaking a sweat, even though Salem was 1-7 for the season.

"We were worried," he insisted. "Their offense was just rolling it up on people. That quarterback of theirs, (Chris) Drabicki, is an out-standing player. He's the best in our league.

"They were a challenge for our ' defense."

Perhaps so, but the Rocks' defense hasn't stopped many opponents all season. Although Salem has stayed within striking distance of just about everyone on its schedule — five of the Rocks' eight losses were by a touchdown or less — stopping the opposition has been a season-long problem.

•Knowing that, Salem coach Bob Cummings figured he might as well roll the dice and go for it in certain situations.

"We knew how good their offense was," Cummings said, "We started the second quarter going for broke. We went for first downs a couple of times,"

Salem had trouble from the beginning containing the Chiefs.

After a three-downs-and-out by the Rocks to start the game, Canton's Devin Thomas raced 53 yards for a touchdown and, with Dutch Morrell's kick, the Chiefs led 7-0 just 1:37 into the game.

The Rocks marched right back and scored with 8:18 left in the first period on a 14-yard pass from Drabicki to Jayson Wurtzbacher. The point-after

was good and the game i tied at 7-all.

A nine-play, 63-yard drive ^ Canton followed,

Thomas scoring from 9 yards out to make it 14-7 with 4:17 left. A TYavis McKinney punt return to the Salem 28-yard line set up another Canton TD, this one scored by McKinney on a 6-yard pass from quarterback Shawn Little with 9:08 left in the second quarter.

The Rocks trimmed Canton's lead to 21-13 on Drabicki's 1-yard plunge with 6:07 to go in the second quar-ter, but after that the bottom fell out for Salem.

The Chiefs scored three touchdowns in those final six minutes of the half, McKinney getting two of them, on a 2? yard run with 4:22 left and on a 16-yard run with 1:53 to go. His first score was set up by a 17-yard Little-to-Jake Powers pass that put the ball inside the Salem 20; his second came after a Little-to-Thomas pass covering 20 yards to the Salem 16.

In between McKinney's scoring plays Thomas rumbled in from 15 yards out after a

turnover deep in its own end. When halftime final-ly came, Canton's lead was 42-13.

And the Chiefs started with the ball in the second half. They didn't waste any time, scoring on their first two pos-sessions of the second half, Julian Smith going in from 2 yards out to cap a 10-play, 63-yard drive with 6:58 left in the third quarter and then Chuck Schumacher bouncing up the middle on a 32-yard run after a McKinney punt return put the ball at the Salem 32. With 3:47 left in the third, Canton had expanded its lead to 55-13.

The Rocks weren't done, however. They mounted two fourth-quarter drives, Mike Kerul diving in from 4 yards out with 11:00 left in the game f o r a T D (Drabicki's two-point conversion pass to Jeff Lake made it 55-21). Their second march began at their own 9 and ended when Drabicki's pass to Brian Bradley was fumbled into the Canton end

zone. The Chiefs' Brandon Reeves

scooped it up and took it 63 yards to the Salem 39 with 2:24 left, ending the Rocks' chances.

Canton finished the game with 318 rushing yards, McKinney leading the way with 103 yards on 13 attempts, scoring twice. He also had two catches for 13 yards and aTD.

Thomas finished with eight carries for 79 yards and two TDs and one catch for 20 yards, while Schumacher had 81 yards on 10 tries. Little completed 4-of-5 passes for 52 yards and a touchdown with one interception.

On defense, Bryon Sieferd had seven solo tackles and one pass breakup, while Powers had four solos and two assists. Jeff Hudson got two solos, two assists and an interception (returned for 20 yards) and Eric O'Shaughnessy got five solos and one assist

Salem totaled 333 yards in offense, with Drabicki doing much of the damage, complet-

ing 26-of-41 passes for 310 yards, with one TD and one interception. Kerul was the Rocks' leading ground-gainer with 17 yards on seven carries.

Bradley did grab 11 pass receptions for 204 yards, and Dave Scherbaty had nine catches for 72 yards.

The game provided both coaches with some useful information. "Teams that move on teams in the playoffs are teams that execute on third down," said Baechler. "That and turnovers are the key (to playoff success)."

As for Salem, Cummings could only wish his team had another half-dozen touch-downs to spread throughout the season. That could have

> turned a 1-8 team into a play-off contender.

"This team has improved tremendously," Cummings said. "A few bounces here or there could have turned (our season) around."

The story's different for Canton. For the Chiefs, the beat goes on.

Nicole Dalicandro started in goal for the Ocelots; Andrea Dunn (Garden City) replaced her in the second half. SC led 3-0 at halftime.

"In all candor," Tolstedt said, "from an overall talent stand-point, I think this is the best team I've had here. It's also one of the youngest teams I've had,"

SC hosts Albion College's JV team in a non-regional match at 3 p.m. Wednesday.

Madonna 4, Indiana Tech 1: Sarah Pack scored two goals, Emily Jackson assisted on two goals, and Madonna University stayed in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference race with a convincing victory over Indiana Tech Wednesday at Livonia's Greenmead Park.

Pack netted her second goal , at that point to give Madonna a two-god cushion. Lacey Cattarino's goal (from Jackson) five minutes later clinched the win.

Diana Kaip was in goal for the Crusaders; she had two saves. Catherine Olson was in the net for Tech; she made nine stops.

Early goals propel Ocelots to victory

A couple of close losses t h e previous weekend didn't leave Schoolcraft College's men's soc-cer t eam languishing for long.

The Ocelots scored twice in the first 10 minutes Tuesday and held on to beat Macomb CC 2-1, a victory tha t kept SC unbeaten in the state at 6 -0 and 10-4-1 overall.

Wesley Fan (from Livonia Stevenson) and Dan Curmi ( f rom Redford Catholic Central) scored SC's goals, bo th coming on assists f rom Will Friend. The Monarchs nar-rowed the gap to 2-1 with a goal midway through the sec-

MEN'S SOCCER ond half, b u t Ocelots' keeper Shon Washington (Canton) was unbeatable after that .

The victory assures SC the top spot f rom Michigan in the four- team regional playoff, with Cincinnati State and Cuyahoga the qualifiers from Ohio and Macomb the second t eam from Michigan.

SC faced Cuyahoga in Toledo in Saturday's opening round. The opening-round winners meet in Toledo for the regional championship today.

tha t to create scoring chances. "Our s trong midfield play

and our senior leadership have been very important," said Bixler.

As for t h e Division IV region-al tournament , which will be hosted by Sterling Heights Bethesda Christian beginning at 3 p.m. Hiesday: PCA will go up against the winner of t h e Oakland Christian-Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes winner. The Eagles have played bo th teams this season, splitting with Oakland Christian (losing 2-0 and winning 5-0) and beat -ing Lady of the Lakes 8-2.

The regional final will b e a t 2 p .m. Saturday at Bethesda Christian. There's a possibility the t eam advancing on the other side of the regional bracket could be another MIAC squad — Allen Park Inter-City Baptist, a squad PCA lost t o (2-0) and t ied with (2-2).

But the Eagles can't afford t o worry about wha t might be down the road without first taking care of what 's at hand . Tha t would be Oakland Christian.

A win over the Lancers would carry PCA as far as it's ever gone in the state tourna-ment .

Tha t should be incentive enough.

Long had just showed me how to tie a new knot so I cut off the chartreuse shad and replaced it with one identical to his. I didn't have to wait long to see if I tied the polomar knot correctly.

Before the crank made it to the bottom of the 8-foot flat a beefy smallmouth decided it looked irresistible and inhaled the lure. -

"Here's a nice one," I hissed through grinning lips as the four-pound fish broke the sur-face and leapt into the air in an effort to shake the hook.

"Keep your rod tip down," cautioned Long. "Don't let him come out of the water."

After an exciting battle Long slipped the landing net under the golden bronzeback and lift-ed him into the boat. We took

a couple of pictures and slipped the fish back into the cooling waters of Lake Erie.

Before you start scratching your head in wonder, let me explain. I realize archery deer season is open. I know grouse and woodcock seasons are underway, that squirrels and rabbits are fair prey and that duck season started down here on Saturday.

I realize all that. But I also realize that some of the best fishing of the season is taking place right now. That's why I jumped at the chance to join Long for a day on the waters of Lake Erie-chasing smallmouth

Another cool thing about this phenomenal bite is that no one else seems to care. There was only one other boat at the ramp Tuesday morning at Lake Erie Metropark. We literally had the whole fishery to our-selves.

"As soon as the water gets, below 60 degrees they'll start feeding up for winter in their earlyfall pattern," explained Long. "They'll move up onto the flats, usually during the warmest part of the day, to feed on baitfish. They do it on the Great Lakes, but they'll be in the same pattern on inland lakes like Cass and Union in Oakland County."

We started the morning casting cranks on top of the flats in 8-feet of water. After an hour without much success, we moved to the drop-off on the edge of the flat and started dragging tube jigs along the break in about 12 feet of water. It wasn't long before my host was reeling in the first small-mouth of the day. After a cou-ple more fish on tubejigs the pattern cooled off and we switched back to cranks and moved back on top of the flats. The fish were turned on now and the action kept us warm, despite the wet, windy weath-er.

By the end of the trip we had boated nine smallmouth bass, all between three and five pounds. What impressed me most was how fat all of the fish were.

They certainly haven't been missing any meals lately.

Another enticing aspect of this early fall bite is that you don't have to be on the water at sunrise. The best action is actually later in the day after the water warms up.

"They won't be up there on the flats feeding all day," says Long, who fishes the Northern Bass Masters Tournament "frail and runs Longcast Guide Service (888) 536-3474. "Typically, later in the day, dur-

ing the warmest part of the day is when they'll be feeding the heaviest." '

Long says this early fall pat-tern mil last until the water temperature drops into the low 50s and high 40s.

"Then they'll move up onto the flats only on warm, sunny days," he says. "You'll have to fish the breaks."

Take a break from the rigors of hunting and get in on the fall smallmouth bite. You won't be disappointed.

FERGUSON EYES CLASSIC

Rochester native Art Ferguson II needed a top-40 finish in the final event in the CITGO Bassmaster Northern Division Tournament Trail to ensure a top-three finish in the point standings and earn a berth in the prestigious Bassmaster Classic.

Ferguson did better than tha t Much better.

. 1 The seasoned bass pro formed to the top of the field in the final event, w i n n i n g the Bassmaster Northern Open on Lake Oneida in Syracuse, New York. Ferguson, who led the event wire to wire, took the $50,000 top prize with a two-day combined weight of 32 pounds, 9 ounces. The final

day of the three-day tourna-ment was canceled due to dan-gerous weather conditions.

"I'm kind of in awe right now," Ferguson said in a press release."... I just caught a bunch of fish. They stayed there for me all week, and if we would have gone out today, I'm quite confident that I could have had what I had the last two days.

"I was fishing a spot that they're moving into. They aren't leaving it, they're mov-ing in," he said.

With the victory in Syracuse, Ferguson clinched the top spot in the Bassmaster Northern Division point standings and an automatic berth in the Classic.

"I was coming here, really, to try to re-qualify for the (Bassmaster) Tour because I had a bad season," admitted Ferguson. "I set a goal early on to make the Bassmaster Classic early on through this so that I could have an easy season this winter."

Cathy

Standish

We looked in the basement I think our house is haunt-

ed. Or maybe it's a conspir-acy, Dark and hushed, we

suspect our appliances gather together like toys in a Disney movie, plotting, planning,

Methodically killing each other off, they hold secret midnight meetings and then laugh maniacally as they watch the humans trying to muddle through without them.

The fiends killed the com-puter first We found the dying hard drive gasping, grinding, coughing, sputter-ing, and then, silence.

Next to meet an awful fate was our clothes dryer. Dying for this machine wasn't pret-ty. Loud, agonized rumbling shook the foundation of our house as the threatened appliance pleaded for mercy. Armed with a laundry basket and a spray can of stain remover we headed gingerly for the world below.

We looked in the base-ment. The aftermath lay around us. In the air the acrid smell of day-old fabric softener forced us to stifle a gag. The dryer sat, dead, around it lay chewed pieces of towel, regurgitated socks and the decapitated sleeve of a dress shirt.

Grabbing a chain saw, my husband prepared for the massacre that was still to come.

Below the concrete of the basement floor I thought I heard a beating, the throb-bing of a heart. Slowly we inched our way back up the stairs, to the daylight It was my "morbid acuteness of senses" that allowed me to hear the hissing, to smell the gas.

A monster had blown the pilot light of our self cleaning gas range. Preheating left

carbon monoxide. The house now tried to control our behavior, our actions. Fighting, we ran to the win-dow and allowed the fresh air to flood the room before a wild explosion of great pro-portion could blow through our neighborhood.

Neither my husband nor I was mad! We were sane, very sane indeed.

Grabbing the phone, gasp-ing for breath, we called for help. The stranger answered. The appointment was made.

Appliance repairman and part time exorcist, Father Damian Chucky Poirot Lechter, knocked somberly on our door.

The end of our horror was near, the healing had finally come.

Carefully our repairman examined the remains of the hard drive. He helped us gen-tly box the corpse and send it back to the manufacturer. Four days later the replace-ment arrived and the com-puter began to breathe life anew. The dryer was resur-rected next with the trans-plant of a fresh belt and a new motor.

Sadly, the stove could not be saved.

Life in our house was ush-ered back to normal. No longer do we hear the mid-night whispers, my acuteness of senses has vanished.

Around us lie the ashes of our memory, the scars of our struggle, of our life without a hard drive, life without a dryer, life without a gas range. Somehow we had sur-vived it all and had lived to tell the story. Cathy Standish is a Plymouth resi-dent and a regular contr ibutor to the Observer. She can be reached via e-mail at Cate1956@aol.com

Hijinks and hauntings, ghosts and goblins delight and terrify

In late 1800s Livonia, Halloween was a time for pranks like turning over outhouses, cutting clothes lines and placing wagons on barn roofs, according to Dominic P. Paris's Footpaths to Freeways, a book on the history of the then- sparsely settled farmland.

Today, youngsters and adults look for fun in different ways to celebrate the holiday brought to this country by the Irish in the 1840s.

Kevin Eyster plans on taking daughter Kayla, 10, and son Tyler, 5, trick or treating while his wife passes out candy at home.

American traditions have changed ever so slightly since Halloween became a night pri-marily for young children in the 1950s.

The Madonna University English professor studied the phenomena and folklore sur-rounding what's become the second largest holiday in terms of spending.

"Halloween started as far as Oct. 31, as being a day historically referred to as the eve of the Christian feast of All Saints, Nov. 1, which was re-established by Pope Gregory III. It was referred to as the Eve of All Hallow's or All Hallow's Even," said Eyster, who teaches workshops on American folklore.

"Around 1006 A.D., the church declared . Nov. 2 as All Souls Day. They were respond-ing to different pagan traditions. A lot goes back to Ireland. The church wanted to count-er the rituals of pagan believers which they saw as evil."

The Celts celebrated the ancient festival of Samhain or New Year on Nov. 1. The day marked the end of summer and the harvest, and the beginning of winter. The night pre-ceding the new year was thought to be a time when boundaries between the dead and living was obscured. Some folklore says the Celts extinguished the lights in their homes and dressed up in scary costumes and paraded through the streets trying to scare the spirits away.

"Fairies and witches have been associated with Halloween over the centuries," said Eyster. "Tam Lin is a British ballad that we could go to today that talks about the belief of fairy rides on Halloween. There's still an asso-ciation with Halloween and the souls of the dead. It's from fairies, witches you get the frightening stories"

GHOST STORIES

Janet Langlois has studied and taught stu-dents about the history of ghost stories in classes at Wayne State University.

"Ghost stories seem to be universal," said Langlois, an associate professor of English at Wayne State. "People have given reports on the dead returning from ancient times. During the war between Catholic and ' Protestants in l6-17th century England, if you believed you were Catholic. Whether you believe in ghosts or haunted places all depends on your belief system. In almost all major religions there is a strong statement that there is an afterlife."

Still the question remains unanswered. Some feel the dead do return. Others feel peo-ple who see gliosis are hallucinating. Yet they continue to appear in popular culture and lit-erature. Scrooge in The Christmas Caroiwon-ders if he ate something to bring on ghosts of the past, present and future.

"There's been a big increase of interest in films like The Sixth Sense, and The Others, and TV shows," said Langlois. "There's an interest in psychic phenomena that's related to an ancient question about life after death."

UNEXPLAINED MYSTERIES

There are several active ghost hunting soci-eties in the state that can be found on the Web. Stories about them discovering spirits at Eloise, a former mental hospital and poor house in Westland, are recorded in books such as Ghost Stories of Michigan by Dan Asfar. Haunts andHauntings by the late Marion Kuclo, the Green Witch Gundella, tells of a woman in white visiting Butler/Ganong Cemetery on Henry Ruff road where fatal accidents have occurred on a dan-gerous curve.

Langlois relays stories about a lady in white that was popular in 1940s and 1950s Detroit j on Belle Isle.

"On Tanglewood Drive you were suppose to drive over the bridge and honk three times and see the lady in white who was killed there," said Langlois. "Another is on a street in Detroit where a girl had been riding a bike and was killed. She was dragged and tried to knock on the door and the story became known as Knock Knock Street.

"The stories appeal to young people on Halloween who like to go to cemeteries, to Northville - the last state mental institu-tion, and Blood Road in Lapeer. It's a fas-cination particularly shared by young peo-ple. But many people tell ghost stories, often on Halloween."

Most children can think only of trick or treating. The tradition can be traced back to a ninth century European tradition where beggars would go from house to , house asking for soul cakes on All Souls Day Nov. 2. In exchange they would offer to say prayers for dead relatives of the giver.

Bobbing for apples is thought to have originated with the Romans who con-quered the Celts around 40 A.D. Gradually the Celtic New Year festival became one with two Roman observances commemo-rating the dead and Pomona, the goddess of fruit and trees. The apple is the symbol of Pomona.

The Jack-o'-lantern comes from Irish folklore about a man who tricked the devil into climbing a tree. After dying, Jack was denied entry to heaven because of his evil ways and to hell for tricking the devil. The

way through the darkness. Jack placed it : inside a hollowed-out turnip. When the Irish came to America they used pump-kins, which were more plentiful, to hold the ember for their Jack's lanterns.

"Halloween's been tied to seasonal changes," said Eyster. "In the past it was a more agrarian mindset. There was a belief that by Halloween crops should be har-vested and livestock brought in, and there's, the referencing to,apples, nuts and pump-kins during Halloween. Today it's still a celebration similar to Nutcrack Night in parts of Ireland. It's a rural'phenomena related to harvesting of fruits and nuts."

In the U.S. Halloween is probably, other than Christmas, the most celebrated holi-day with kids of all ages taking part.

"Going door to door for trick or treat is like performance, an acting out," said Eyster. "There's the commercial side of it with people decorating their yards and houses. Adults go to Halloween parties.

"It's a positive healthy tradition. Even though they've forgotten the meaning, they're coming together as a community."

Chiropractor cracks neck, back problems BY CHIP KARNiSH CORRESPONDENT

It shouldn't be . neck to see a chiropractor. Or the head. Or lower back.

Dr. Tina Maruszewski advises that everyone, regardless of age, health or lifestyle, should have a spinal examination.

"The spine contains your nervous system with all major organs functioning from it." she said from her newly renovated Plymouth Township clinic. "It's important to maintain a healthy spine to avoid pain and ill

Family Chiropractic - in Plymouth for what she sees as a growing community that's main-tained a small town feel. That, "and the fact that there are two Starbucks close by. I'm here for the long run. My goal is to get the word out about spinal health and maintenance."

As an established chiropractor specializing in pediatric and geriatric care she advises an ini-tial consultation and examina-

, Maruszewski said she chose to set up her practice - Lakepointe

"My job is to educate the patient. I'll only help those that I know I can," she pointed out. "A chiropractor provides natural healing. If it's not chiropractic care you need, I can refer you to

another professional who can help."

Dr. Tina, as patients call her, may appear petite in size but stresses that she knows a variety of adjusting methods using gen-tle, yet specific techniques to achieve corrective care.

"It's not about how hard you adjust a patient," Maruszewski said, "but how specific and accu-rate the adjustment is." The proof of the effectiveness comes with the gradual improvement of a patient's posture and the relief of pain, she said.

"You can cause more harm than good doing so," she said. I'm a trained chiropractor and

I don't ever do my own correc-

Maruszewski also offers other preventative measures to avoid spinal injuries:

• Don't overload your back-pack. "I see kids walking to school hunched over due to heavy backpacks. October is National Backpack Awareness Month. Distribute the weight by carrying some books in front of you in your arms"

your back pocket. "If you have a desk job, your posture will be unbalanced because you won't be sitting on an even surface."

• If you sit in front of a com-puter all day, "T&ke breaks to raise your head up and look to

the ceiling regularly. This can prevent neck and back pain."

"Seeing a chiropractor can benefit your life in every aspect," she said. "I've seen my own health enhanced and would recommend it to every-one."

Boulders features family atmosphere BY CHIP KARNISH CORRESPONDENT

Boulders has been a popular Plymouth restaurant and entertainment destination for the past five years. Now they're sporting a new menu as vast as the Colorado Rockies pictured along their walls.

"We went for Western style with a real kick to it," owner Dave Daugherty said of the newest entrees. He and his wife, Michelle, collaborated with some of their Coloradan customers to achieve the authenticity and Rocky Mountain flavor. Two new chefs at the Cooker dish it all out.

Some of the eatery's favorites include the Boulder Baby Back Ribs, slow roasted and cooked in cola for three hours, then basted with their Uncle Lester's Special Sauce. "Get a side of the BBQ, Chicken Pizza covered with jack cheese, Wed peppers and red onion to go with it," Daugherty recom-mends. "Great combo!"

Big beef eaters will go for the Cowboy Steak, a char-grilled 22-ounce bone-on ribeye laced with Boulder's own natural Demi Glas. There's also the Grilled Provimi Liver with onions and bacon, and a Rack of Iamb Chops seared with rosemary and slow roasted with caramello sauce.

Diners with guts who are prepared to enlarge them can take a stab at "The Boulderizer," a 40-ounce Porterhouse char-grilled steak that takes up to thirty minutes to cook to order. Eaters who finish it earn a T-shirt.

"And yes," Daugherty said, "we've had some customers eat the entire steak."

The Boulders menu goes

"South of the Boulder-with the chicken chimichanga melted with white Mexican sauce, their classic Chicken Quesadilla, or the trio of Seasoned Chicken Enchiladas. Diners will also get a full plate of hot stuff with The One Pound Beef or Chicken Burrito filled with refried beans, onions and cheese.

"We had a big demand for more seafood," Daugherty said.

Now Boulders offers every-thing from fish-and-chips to Surf and Turf. There's the Atlantic Salmon marinated in maple syrup with a hint of orange and lemon, or the Stuffed Flounder with crab- %

meat laced with their Chablis Dill Sauce. They also offer Swordfish with pineapple salsa and Baked White Fish with their tangy roasted red pepper Aioli sauce.

And all the customer favorites are back, too, includ-ing the Turkey Reuben voted "Best Sandwich in Plymouth" and the half-pound Blue Mountain Burger smothered with gorgonzola and sauteed mushrooms.

Just finished that great Boulder's meal... now what?

"Why drive to one place for dinner and another for enter-tainment. We've got it all right here," Daugherty said. ' Boulders offers nightly music bands from The Ride, featur-* ing the best of the big 80s cover songs to Rusty Lunchbox cranking out all the Top 40 hits.

The restaurant also hosts the popular Karaoke nights every Wednesday karaoke

- nights. From those singing sessions camethe idea for. a take on a popular current tele-vision show.

waterfall also filters out the smoking section and cleans the air."

Boulders is also family friendly with half-off pizza every Monday featuring a magician with balloons and card tricks for the kids. And here's a meal deal every parent should take advantage of: Every Sunday kids under 12 eat for free.

There's something for every-one and always something going on. It's an atmosphere of "really great food in a casual, fun atmosphere." Daugherty said.

All that under one roof, and you don't have to mountain climb to get there.

Star Stud . By Dennis Fairchild'

ARIES (March 21-April 20) Many Rams have an almost childlike belief that "every-th ing wil l turn out all right in the end" and, sometimes, it does:- It's now t ime to plan, plot 'and push ahead to. ensure that

. you're making the most of resources. Redefine what you wil l about "next gig" and don't relate to roadblocks! ! .

TAURUS (April 21-May 21) Even if something you have your heart set on isn't working the way you expected now, don't give up! Your horoscope hints that you may be seeing problems where none exist. A breakthrough is imminent, but f irst you must stop,looking for things to go wrong.- .. - . .

(May 22-June 21) Speak your mind, especially where,financial matters are concerned. But make sure your assumptions are backed up by facts or you run the risk of alienating loved ones and colleagues. Those wedded to outdated outlooks may soon experience a messy divorce f rom dolfars or darl ings..

CANCER (June 22-July 23) An economic opportuni ty wil l catch you by surprise this.week, but don't let it lead to more than you can handle. Money isn't everything. All that matters now is making the t ime to pursue whatever or whomever interests you most. Focus on "behave," not "bucks."

(July 24-Aiig 23) . it 's been said that enlightened individuals realize that events cast their shadows beforehand. If you are having

to cope wi th intr igue in your personal l ife now, t he golden rule is this: Hear one side and you will be. in the dark; j hear both sides and all wil l be clear

! /VIRGO (Aug 24-Sept 23) } You are not the type to suffer dumb-ness gladly, and anyone who imagines that you will is in for a surprise. I Although it may be a while before you're in a posit ion to call all the shots, that doesn't mean you should be I ! taken for granted. Push! Do! Don't be a fool!

! L I B R A (Sept 24-0ct 23) j Change your tactics and focus on possibil it ies rather than peri ls, . } Generosity is a wonderful thing, but there are t imes when it pays to be a litt le bit selfish. If you give too much j away over the next few days, you'll regret i t by the end of the week. Don't blab or crab! Be still.

I SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22) { __ Out of every crisis comes the chance to be reborn. Reflect on the romantic or family problems you had to

resolve around your last birthday, and it should be apparent that you have come full circle. The help you gave so wil l ingly then is now yours for the asking.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23-Dec 21) • Your routine has been thrown into disarray by unexpected circumstances, making you feel that you cannot plan for th? future wi th any degree of certainty. The th ings that really count are not those held in the hand, but . what one cherishes in the heart.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 21) . j ' You now have potential to make fr iends out of enemies and enemies out of friends. Mercury retrograde urges

que you to stand back and take a more support ive role, especially where money and business matters are con-^ cerned. Smooze, don't booze!

AQUARIUS (Jan 22-Feb 19) Keep travel plans to an absolute minimum and allow for delays when on the move. This is very much a t ime when the winds of change begin to blow ful l force on the home front. Allow partners to express their opinions and their anger..

PISCES (Feb 20-March 20) The moment has come to make loved ones and colleagues aware that you have had enough of idle promises and now demand guarantees or assurances. Even i f the atmosphere becomes tense or explosive, on no account backdown. Stick to your guns!

• Halloween nutrition Candy is part of the

Halloween tradit ion. It's O.K. for kids and adults to enjoy. The key is to f i t i t into an overall healthy eating plan. Here's some tips f rom the Michigan Dietetic Association to make good choices:

Eat healthy foods before going t r ick or treating. You'll be less likely to overindulge.

Apples and pumpkins aren't only icons fo r the holi-day and fall. Try muffins, bread, and pies, made f rom them or toasted pumpkin seeds.

Eat candy in moderation. Choose miniature sizes so port ions are small and con-trolled.

Expand treat opt ions to include small boxes of raisins, cereal treats, frui t , breakfast bars or crackers.

Balance your choice between sugar and choco-late. Chocolate is higher in fat but contains good phyto-chemicals. Sugary candy is lower in fat but can lead to too th decay so encourage children to brush well af ter eating.

Consider passing out non-food treats such as fancy pencils, bracelets, rings, just be sure not to pass out chok-ing hazards to very young children.

Beat pound-producing cravings New book links food to opiates in the brain

If your cravings for sugary treats, cheese, chocolate and thick juicy steaks are adding inches to your

waistline, chances are it's not your fault, at least according to Dr. Neil Barnard, the author of a new book on food addic-tions.

Dr. Barnard comes from a long line of cattle ranchers in North Dakota, It was-n't until he was in medical school that he began questioning his eating habits.

Several years later, he's still searching for answers in studies conducted by Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a nonprofit organization founded in 1985 to promote preventive medicine, good nutrition and higher standards in research. Dr. Barnard's new book, Breaking the Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons Behind Food Cravings —and 7Steps to End Them Naturally, reveals findings that link cer-tain foods to the release of opiates in the brain.

Meat, cheese and chocolate seem" to be the most addicting.

"It depends on the person, but for women as a group, cheese and chocolate are the most addicting; for men, the savories, meat and cheese," said Dr. Barnard, an adjunct professor at Georgetown University and founder and president of Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

"We did a research study, Georgetown and the Physicians Committee, where we put 59 women with chronic weight problems on a vegan diet (no meat, fish or dairy products), or chicken and fish to compare their effects on weight," he added. "The vegan did great. At the end we asked them which food you missed the most. It was not chocolate ice cream. It was cheese. They were dream-ing of cheese pizza,"

Those results started Dr. Barnard on a journey to discover the reasons for

Dr. Barnard

food cravings, not just for the participants but himself. As a kid, he had an intense sweet tooth. He loved chocolate chip cookies, ice cream — and meat.

. cattle ranch, it Growing up only natural that meat was the cen-ter of his diet. When he changed his diet in the late 1970s in medical school and became a vegetarian, he didn't understand why he had trouble leaving cheese behind.

"There's quite a literature on opiates such as cheese," Dr. Barnard said. "Cheese has opiates in it, unlike choco-late that releases opiates in your brain. Nature built opiates into milk to make the nursing infant feel comforted. It behaves very much like an addiction."

Dr. Barnard's advice to anyone trapped in their biochemistry is to "stop thinking willpower alone." In Breaking the Food Seduction, he talks about seven simples steps to break the craving cycles in addition to giving a three-week kick-start program complete with recipes. The detailed eating plan resets taste- . buds by eliminating addicting food, such as chocolate, cheese, meat and sugar. Dr. Barnard says once you return to eating them, you'll find cravings reduced,

C H A N G E O F L I F E S T Y L E

This isn't a calorie-cutting diet as much as a way of changing eating habits for life. Forget the Atkins diet. Dr. Barnard says "it's extreme" and goes into detail in the Web site www.atkinsdi-etalert.org.

Dr. Barnard recommends people eat at least 10 calories per day for each pound of their ideal body weight. Eat too little and the body stops making lep-tin, an appetite controlling hormone.

Start with a good breakfast. Choose foods to steady blood sugar — beans, green vegetables, fruits and whole

grains prevent blood sugar dips that • lead to cravings. • -

Stop craving cycles by eating a low-fat, vegetarian diet. Exercise and rest 5

are also important parts of being *; healthy. Barnard says he focuses on food in the book because it can be the most ; toxic. •

"It's very much like an alcoholic who starts to get cirrhosis," Dr. Barnard said. "It all leads back to one substance. People hear the danger, but ignore the message' At 15,1 had a good friend in high school' who was smoking cigarettes. In 1968-6&, we knew cigarettes would give you can*5

cer. It's an addiction, 7

"With the seven steps it's important to know why you wish to change. Yofl can lose weight in an easy way. Stop " beating yourself up. Realize you can-cut your chances of getting cancer, ff you have diabetes or high blood :

pressure, you can reduce or come '' off medication."

For a first step, Dr. Barnard rec-p' ommends learning about alterna-:'

tives to replace addictive foods. Mix 1

cocoa butter (which has no fat) with soy milk and a sweetener to create a fudgy,i;

chocolate-like sauce for dipping straws berries. Meat lovers should give soy hot1

dogs and bologna a try. "• "People will do anything for three '

weeks, but won't do it for rest of their • * lives," Dr. Barnard said. "Switch from ;!

whole milk to skim milk. If you're a cheese addict, use nutritional yeast -instead. *•-

"Expect to fall off the wagon. It's not ' temporary in the sense of breaking any" addiction. Breaking the food seduction2

has an added benefit. What changes fo? you also can change for your whole fam-ily. Kids today are the most out of shapfe generation. They have onset adult dia- f betes, arteriosclerosis, before they're out of high school." 1

'Dallas' star rides into .

town for lecture series

COMMUNITY LIFE www.lwmetownlife.cam

- r 4 v *'

Larry Hagman wasn't quite what the audience was except-ing when they bought tickets for the Livonia Town Hall lec-ture series at St. Mary's Cultural Center Wednesday, Oct. 15.

While Hagman looked every bit like J.R., the character he played on "Dallas," the native Texan was the exact opposite of the villainous oilman. A down-to-earth gentleman, Hagman's modesty escaped him only briefly when talking about the series that followed the exploits of the wealthy Ewing family. ,

"We were royalty for a long time," said Hagman. "It was phenomenal lasting 13 sea-sons. When they aired the

_ /Who Shot J.R,' episode, things stopped in Europe, South Africa, Turkey and Greece."

"I Dream of Jeannie Hagman's first hit, hasn't been off the air for 40 years. So why

' is he trying to promote a , speaking career instead of act-

ing? "I was bored," said Hagman.

"I don't like to do violent films and play a bad guy. The work wasn't something I wanted to do. There aren't many parts for aging actors so I thought why not go out and tell my story."

Hagman did write about his life, the high points and low, in the autobiography "Hello, Darlin'." But as in show biz, timing is everything. Released three weeks after the terrorists attacks on Sept. 11,2001, the book struggled to reach the charts in America but sold well in England, Germany and France.

At age 72, Hagman doesn't

worry about staying in the public eye with record-break-ing book sales or films. He says, everyday is a highlight since receiving a liver trans-plant in 1995. It was then doc-tors told him he had two months to live because of years of abusing alcohol. Almost los-ing his life has made Hagman appreciate viewing a sunset over the ocean outside his California home or just being with his wife of 49-years, Maj. Until the right script comes along he'll keep talking about "Dallas," his early years, and working with his mother, Broadway star Mary Martin. During the lecture he showed several photographs of Martin in various productions includ-ing "Peter Pan." Hagman acted with her in "South Pacific" for a year in London.

"My early years on the soap 'Edge of Night' were great training," said Hagman. 'You didn't have tape. It was all live. It was a great learning experi-ence to get to know how to use the camera and the camera to use you."

Once Hagman mastered the art, it was on to Hollywood. Before leaving New York, one of the highlights of his career, he says, was playing roles in four Broadway shows in one season. Having four shows close on an actor isn't a good thing but in all fairness one opened during a newspaper strike.

"Something told me to go west, young man," said Hagman. "I borrowed $3,000 for my wife to be able to live in New York while I was gone and acted in my first film

—

I

about practicing Satanic sacri-fice. The Network saw it and said we can't put this one out. That's when I auditioned for Jeannie tod landed the role of Major Nelson, the straight man to Barbara Eden."

"Dallas" followed shortly, but that's all history. He's living for today - seeing friends from the series like Linda Gray (his wife on the series), hunting with Patrick Duffy (who played brother Bobby), riding his Harley motorcycle, and para-flying.

Hagman was truly excited to be speaking to the sold-out

crowd of more than 440 fans at the Livonia Town Hall series. He was extremely proud to show video of his 25,000 square foot home with five pools north of Los Angeles, and the white Stetson hat he wore. Emblazoned in the head-band, was his name followed by the words A Texas TVeasure, a declaration made two years ago by the Texas legislature.

But it was "Dallas" that the audience would remember him for. Gertrude Steele of Livonia never missed an

"I just loved Dallas. We'd always hook up with our

friends in Irish Hills to watch 'Dallas' and have pizza on Friday nights," said Steele who'd come to the lecture with Ruth Bozian of Novi. • "They always have interest-ing speakers" added Bozian. "It's a chance to learn about people."

"It was fan," added Bob Bennett, who was accepting a $5,000 check from the Town Hall series on behalf of the Livonia Symphony Orchestra. Livonia Town Hall president Dee Dee Ditmar presented two checks, one to Bennett, anoth-er for $500 to Debra Bonde for

before matrimony works well for some — After living together for

several years, Margaret Readio and Marc Schubmehl were ready for the next step. So, like many who had taken the plunge before them, they decided to go for it: They bought a house.

Mortgages last longer than many marriages these days. As more cou-ples live together before saying "I do" arid interest rates stay low, buying a home before walking down the aisle is a common story.

"Getting married, to me, is a huge commitment - way bigger than buy-mg> house," said Readio, 24. "Getting married costs a lot of money, and you don't get a lot of payback."

fteadio said she and Schubmehl were tired of "throwing rent away."

They bought a home in Broomfield, where their monthly mortgage pay-ment is $100 more than the rent they paid for their Boulder apartment.

"We are planning on getting mar-ried," said Readio, a chemical engi-

neer. Schubmehl is still in school, though, so they will wait. Readio said buying a house hasn't caused any major changes for the couple.

"Our relationship is the same, maybe even better," she said, "because we have this investment together"

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of unmarried couples sharing a household rose from 500,000 in 1970 to 4.9 million in 2000. And more than'40 percent of American adults younger than 35 are now homeowners, according to a 2002 study by the Harvard University Joint Center for Housing Studies.

The study shows that 56 percent of single women and 45 percent of sin-gle men own their own homes.

George Masnick, a demographer with the Harvard center, said more people are delaying marriage and homeownership is up.

"We know it's happening, but it's hard to track," Masnick said of cou-ples buying homes before marriage.

Matt and Amanda Wetzel bought a

Longmont home in 2000. At the

time, the pair was living together

but not engaged or married.

Boulder real estate agent Susan Plage said it's a trend happening all over the country.

"This is not just a Boulder phenom-enon - 1 don't even think it's a Colorado phenomenon," said Plage, a RE/MAX of Boulder agent. Plage said people are simply realizing that buy-ing property is a smart move.

Historically low interest rates are encouraging many to make the investment. Boulder real estate agent

Rich Galdieri said many of his clients are young, unmarried couples.

"No one is really rushing into mar-riage these days," said Galdieri, 33. "I think buying a house is sort of a test" A few years ago, Galdieri purchased a Boulder condominium with his girl-friend. They are now married. Even smart investments can raise complex questions. :

Matt and Amanda Wetzel bought a Longmont home in 2000. At the time, the pair was living together but not engaged or married.

"Once that happened, a lot of out-

pushy," said Matt Wetzel, 34. "They kept saying: 'When are you getting married?'"

Wetzel said that although he knew he and Amanda would get married, he's "not a fast mover in that depart-ment."

"We were solidifying our economics before we were solidifying our rela-tionship," he said.

But what happens if the relation-ship dissolves? Sandy Shannon moved to Boulder with her boyfriend in 1998. The couple bought a condo together. They then used that invest-ment to finance more purchases. At one point, the pair owned six units.

Recently, they ended the eight-year relationship.

"We still own three properties together," said Shannon, 30.

Although working out the details has been a "hassle," Shannon doesn't have any regrets.

"If you're not ready to get married, it just makes sense," she said. "It's a stronger investment than the stock market."

Plage said a lot of couples buy as "tenants in common" before they get married, "so if something were to go sour in the relationship or in the properly, the proceeds can be divid-ed."

President James Madison's ances-tral home was always a bit frustrat-ing for history buffs.

Families who took over Montpelier after Dolley Madison sold it in 1844 built dozens of new rooms, rearranged the staircases and pounded new doorways and windows into the wall. The library where Madison planned for the Constitutional Convention is now gone. Dolley's bedroom became a

very good reason • over time, that's history," Montpelier Foundation President Michael

But the confusion will soon < In a massive renovation, the non-profit group that supervises the property will spend $20 million to strip away two centuries of addi-tions, removing about 60 percent of the house and returning the insides to their appearance when the nation's fourth president roamed the halls.

"Some practitioners in the preser-vation field feel that you should not remove later additions without a

"But this house is kind of an exception. There is one period that's more important."

The five-year project was the dying wish ofMontpelier's last resi-dent, Marion duPont Scott, who turned the property over to the National TVust for Historic Preservation in 1983. The estate of the late philanthropist Paul Mellon agreed to finance the project in 2002.

Montpelier sits along a quiet country road about 25 miles from Thomas Jefferson's hilltop estate at Monticello. Madison often spoke of the pleasure ofbeing home," said historian Ralph Ketcham. "He was comfortable there."

When Madison moved into the home with his family at the age of 9, the house was a mere eight rooms. He spent his entire life there, build-ing on his own quarters after marry-ing Dolley.

The five-year project was the

dying wish ofMontpelier's last resident, Marion duPont Scott,

w h o turned the property over to

the National Trust for Historic

Preservation in 1983. The estate

of the late philanthropist Paul

Mellon agreed to finance the proj-

ect in 2002.

For the past two years, researchers have been working on an 1820s-era blueprint of the house. They scraped back the plaster in hundreds of places uncovering old wallpaper,

doorways and fireplaces. Historians scoured journals of Madison's visi-tors to find out what kind of furni-ture the family used and where it sat. Archaeologists brushed back the soil outside to look for pathways and landscaping.

Quinn said crews will begin removing rooms, bride by brick, at the end of this year.

When complete, the house should look as it did in the 1820s. Outside, the mango-colored plaster will be stripped off, revealing the original red brick exterior.

Ann Thornton, a Madison descendant and president of a 700-member family organization, is lending Montpelier china and a wal-nut book case that once belonged to Madison. Other descendants are also looking for heirlooms for the house.

"We want to see it stand alongside the other great presidential homes," Thornton said.

(AP) - A trade association expects the demand for U.S. lumber to drop next year as new home construction !

decreases and people spend less on remodeling and repair. The Western Wood Products Association, which repre-

sents lumber manufacturers in Montana and 11 other Western states, said lumber consumption next year will be 55.7 billion board feet, a drop of 1.8 percent from this year's expected record volume of 56.7 billion board feet.

Higher interest rates are expected to slow home construc-tion somewhat, reducing housing starts slightly to 1.69 mil-lion units in 2004. That will reduce the volume of lumber used in the segment by 3.6 percent, to 22.4 billion feet. Repair and remodeling usage also is expected to decline by 3.3 percent.

Despite the pullback, 2004 volume is expected to be the third highest on record, the Portland, Ore.,-based associa-tion said.

"The housing sector has been a bright spot of the U.S. economy the past few years, fueling unprecedented demand for lumber products," said Michael O'Halloran, association president. "It's clear that wood remains the top choice for building and remodeling homes for American families. While activity will be slower in 2004, we foresee another year of strong demand for Western lumber products."

The association compiles lumber industry statistics, pro-vides business information to mills and delivers quality standards and technical support to the industry.

The T-trap - new entry in drain world

Expanded' -how'section Home Depot site

(AP) - The Home Depot has redesigned its Web site to serve as an online store and research tool for customers planning a home improve-ment project.

Atlanta-based Home Depot said Monday the revamped site makes it easier for cus-tomers to search for, research

''and buy products online. The nation's largest home

improvement state chain did not disclose how much it spent on the Web site upgrades, which follow a store remodeling plan and improve-ments to in-store customer service as Home Depot seeks to regain a solid footing over rival Lowe's. :

The company said the site includes an expanded "know-how" section, which combines project and product informa-

tion, design tools and vendor content into a one-stop-shop.

The site features step-by-step projects with tips, shop-ping lists and project calcula-tors.

"We recognize that the Internet plays a key role in the home improvement project experience and are committed to serving our online cus-tomers," said Shelley Nandkeolyar, vice president, interactive marketing and e-business for The Home Depot.

The site also includes changes to its checkout sec-tion, customer service section and adds a new online gift center. The installation servic-es section provides expanded content as well as the ability to sign up for free, in-home consultations. The Web site is: http://homedepot.com.

You read the headline cor-rectly. We're discussing the T-trap not the P-trap.

First, a little Plumbing 101. The P-trap is that P-shaped curl in the drain below the sink (and other plumbing fix-tures) that acts as a water door -preventing sewer gasses from escaping into your home. A no-odor device, ifyou will. The curved portion holds water and traps sewer gas. Water and waste travel downward through the P-trap with no problem, while sewer gases stay where they belong - in the sewer - below the P-trap. The P-trap also can be a valuables-saving device.

Have you ever dropped a piece of jewelry down the drain thinking it to be lost forever? The P-trap could save the day. The same loop that holds back sewer gasses could save your ring as well Unfortunately, the P-trap can also be a problem. Hair and soap scum can build and cause the drain to clog at the curve. There are however, high-end P-traps that have access ports at the bottom. This feature makes cleaning quick and easy.

Place a bowl under the trap with the water off, then loosen

s the nut on the base of the trap. What's inside can be cleaned and-or removed without going

With the T-trap, you open the trap, pull out the filter and

anything that might be stuck

in it. At this point, you can clean the existing i t e r or replace it if it has become

damaged.

through a complete trap removal. Jewelry and other valuables, or hair Mid grease, can all be extracted through this opening.

Now, someone has come up with something better than the P-trap - the T-trap. Where the P-trap is shaped like the letter P, the new T-trap is shaped -unsurprisingly - like the letter T. The T-trap does the same thing as the P-trap, only a little better. Where an upscale P-trap has an access hole, the T-trap has an access hole and a removable (and replaceable) filter.

Nothing can get past this improved trap. Jewelry, money, and other valuables can't be lost. The filter is intended to trap hair and soap scum as well - reducing clogs down the line that could be very difficult

to clean and clear. The removable filter also

eliminates the need for chemi-cal drain cleaners (who wants poisonous drain-cleaning chemicals around, anyway?). By the way, when you aren't using strong drain cleaners you are helping to reduce envi-ronmental pollution. And, who wouldn't want to easily remove drain sediment and buildup before it can clog?

With the T-trap, you open the trap, pull out the filter and anything that might be stuck in it. At this point, you can clean the existing filter or replace it if it has become damaged. It's that easy. Another helpful aspect of the T-trap is the see-through inspection window. You can . view what's in the drain basket.

Tools are not required to install the T-trap, although a pipe wrench might be needed to remove the old drain com-ponents. The cost is only about $9.95. Make sure you have all of the parts for assembly:

• drain T-trap • retrieval basket • flanged slip nut with win-

dow and rubber gasket • 21-1/2-inch slip nuts • 21-1/2-inch washers • 21-1/2-inch x 1-1/4-inch

reducing washers Making the change is simple.

Place a bucket or pan under the old trap to catch any water that might reside therein. Remove the old slip nuts and

i \ ;1 i ,

washers and replace them with new ones. Install the T-trap in, place of the old drain trap ani-tighten the slip nuts "hand-tight."

Next, run some water to check for leaks at the new . drain connections. Finally, if leaks exist, slightly tighten th£ slip nuts. If a wrench is used, it'; is important to employ a gentle ; touch. Slip nuts can be easily ' ; over-tightened. This is one case where less is more. r '

are at $600 million and growing (AP) - Most homeowners

don't hide their feelings when it comes to maintaining a wood fence.

Homeowners despise the annual ordeal that forces them to repaint, replace or shore up cracked or rotted timbers.

But now, fence fans can kiss dreaded maintenance goodbye. New vinyl fences are seeing to that.

The vinyl fence industry accounts for $600 million in annual residential fence sales, up from $10 million as recent-ly 1990. And those numbers will only rise, rise, rise as homeowners get a taste of free

weekends away from fence upkeep.

"We don't see any slowdown in vinyl fence sales in the next five to seven years," said John Harsch of Kroy, a vinyl fence manufacturer and a supplier to The Home Service Store. "We'll grow at least 25 percent a year as we have for the last seven or eight years."

Harsch said non-wood fenc-ing is gaining rapidly on mar-ket leader, wood, because once a vinyl fence is in place, there is virtually no maintenance aside from an annual hosing off of dirt and grime.

Homeowners should pay particular attention to the amount of protective com-pounds and longer warranty that come with better grades of vinyl. Quality vinyls have high-er concentrations of impact modifiers and Ultraviolet (UV) inhibitors. Impact modi-fiers provide strength, while UV inhibitors protect against brittleness.

Top-grade fencing will have a lifetime warranty and adhere to American Society of Testing and Materials '(ASTM) guide-lines. The warranty for lower grade vinyls may be limited to

a few years, if that. !' ~ The average installed fence]; =1

in North America is 200 feet |n,; total length. Consumers should} expect to pay $25 to $55 per j j j running foot for a vinyl fence,,* i including installation. I Variables include the height of I the fence and the number of'; 1 le-gates. Vinyl comes in tradition-1 al white as well as tan, gray \A and khaki. Newer vinyls even J; * mimic a wood grain. ; 1:

'S (AP) - Terry Wells has a

drug dealer to thank for the steal he got on his new home.

; Wells is buying a house val-ued at $500,000 for only $230,000.

It was one of two area homes previously owned by a convict-ed drug dealer that were auc-tioned off Thursday with the proceeds going to help law enforcement. ^ Wells made the winning bid

right after checking with his Wife by phone. : "She's at work " he said. "I

just had to get the find OK" : Wells' new house backs to

Carter Lake. The other house that was auctioned off is in west Omaha and also valued at nearly $500,000. It sold for $347,000.

;"A11 the proceeds of the sales go... to help victims of crime and also to help out in further law enforcement operations like stings and stuff like that," said Mike Lewis of the U.S.

Treasury Department. The homes, complete with

hot tubs, fireplaces and walk-in closets, had been owned by Gary A. Storey, 34, of Omaha.

He pleaded guilty last October to dealing marijuana and laundering money and he forfeited more than $2 million in cash and property, including the homes, a boat, a truck, a sports utility vehicle and a motorcycle.

Storey was sentenced to eight years and one month in prison.

Ray and Kathy Bundy pur-chased Storey's west Omaha

"I'm counting on the fact that there's $10,000 in the rafters," Ray Bundy quipped.

"How are we going to get it?" his wife asked.

"You're going up," he replied. On the Net: U.S.

across the country to Louisiana (AP) - Looking for jazz, Cajun-Creole

food, the Mississippi Delta and people who like to throw beads at the slightest provocation? You've come to the wrong place.

This is the Louisiana with antebellum homes and Victorian buildings just blocks from the Mississippi River, many of them undergoing intense restoration by buyers from across the country inter-ested in historic properties that need love and attention. They have come here because of the vast potential of this "Land of the Golden Hills" as early French explorers named the place when they settled here in 1808.

Already, the town has seen a signifi-cant boom. Preservation efforts have surged in the last six months. An out-door mural project, with 14 giant paint-ings, adds an artistic flair to the land-scape. And a 20-acre sculpture park, featuring works by internationally known artists, opened just a few weeks ago.

This is the Louisiana that wants a future even as it remembers its past.

One thing more: This spunky little town with a population of slightly more than 3,800 is less than 90 minutes from St. Louis.

One recent afternoon, Mayor Jim Yokem sat down to talk after attending a Rotary meeting at the Eagle's Nest bistro. He spoke of John Brooks Henderson, the U.S. senator from

- Missouri who wrote the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, and of Lloyd C. Stark, governor of Missouri from 1937 to 1941. Both were residents of Louisiana.

Yokem also talked about his hopes of eventually re-routing big truck traffic from Highway 79, which runs right through town.

The mayor also gave the nod to new-comer Tim Conley, vice chairman of Missouri's advisory council on preserva-tion and a member of the Louisiana Preservation Commission.

"Tim definitely has been a sparkplug for us," Yokem said when Conley left the table for a few minutes. "He knew what had to be done to meet state and nation-al standards for getting our properties historic status, and he pointed the way."

JUMP START

Conley, a bank recruiter who grew up in Ladue, jump-started restoration in Lafayette Square and Ste. Genevieve. In April, he moved to Louisiana, and by August, the town had been recognized as a certified local government. Conley said only 1,200 towns in the country have this status, which mandates that at least 10 percent of all federal grant monies coming into a state go to these towns.

"What we're doing here is trying to beef up towns along the Great River Road," said Conley, "so Missouri can take advantage of the tourism bucks avail-

doctor," said Doris Greene. Built in 1890, the Greenes' home sits high above the river, and the Greenes spend a lot of time on their enclosed back porch, which has windows on three sides.

SPACIOUS

The McClure family, originally from Illinois, now lives in a mansion on Main Street, built in 1856 and boasting 12

Conley and the mayor also are asking the government to establish part of Louisiana as a historic district so the state can provide tax credits for people who rehabilitate homes according to his-toric standards.

"My goal is to get as many people eli-gible (as possible) for the tax program on it," said Conley; adding that he is spending his own money on the house he bought. "You get 25 percent back as long as you spend half of what you paid for the house. Some here need just roof repair or cornice work, but others need a lot more. Still, it's the difference between tearing down a house or keeping it for generations to come."

This is a project dear to Gov. Bob Holden's heart, said Conley. Through a spokesman, Holden said, "The Missouri communities lining the Big Muddy have played an important role in the history of this state. The restoration efforts that are currently taking place will preserve the rich cultural heritage that exists in these areas."

While living in Los Angeles, Doug Towne spent a lot of time looking on the Internet for available historic homes. "I flew around the country looking at a lot of them, but few of them lived up to the advertising," said Towne, a technical designer for films and part-time actor.

A year ago in August, Towne bought a home on Louisiana's Georgia Street. Built in 1895 by a lumber baron, the ' spacious home has 15 rooms. Each room has a different variety of wood, including cypress, red oak, cherry, curly red birch, sycamore, bird's eye maple and white oak. Every inch of woodwork - and there is a great deal - was in perfect con-dition, something Conley said is rare anywhere in the country.

In September, a family from Iowa bought a home built in 1857 by Julius Jackson, a relative of Andrew Jackson. Another family moved to Louisiana from New York.

"My husband is a surgeon, and he jumped at the chance to be a small-town

"Things definitely are beginning to stir," said Betty Allen, a native of the town who works as a real estate agent. "A woman from Texas recently bought the old schoolhouse, and I just sold two properties to a woman from the -Washington, D.C., area. We also have people coming from St. Charles and TVoy, discovering just how beautiful Pike County is."

Allen said homes in Louisiana sell for anywhere from $12,500 to $250,000. She also mentioned a 5,000-square-foot home on 20 acres, just out of town, that is available for $795,000.

Karen and John Stoeckley moved to Louisiana from Chicago 18 years ago. A former business executive, John pursued his dream and became an artist, special-izing in detailed pen and ink drawings of scenes and historic sites in Missouri and elsewhere. His studio in town is on Ninth Street, adjacent to a building said to be an old stagecoach depot. (Stoeckley also has a shop on Main Street in St. Charles.) One door down is a florist, in a building that was a cooperage, where barrels were made.

Two years ago, the Stoeckleys opened the Eagle's Nest, a bistro downtown that features fine dining and serves as a pop-ular gathering place. Karen, who once worked for Le Creuset and whose grand-father was a chef, runs the restaurant. Above the Eagle's Nest is abed and breakfast, including a room with a hot tub. A few doors away, they have opened a winery.

"The town is changing," said Karen. "My husband and I sat down and talked about what makes a town become a des-tination, and we decided a winery could make a difference." She paused, laughed and then added, "In a moment of lunacy, we bought four buildings."

Just behind those buildings, they found a 100-year-old wine garden, sit-ting unused for decades. Eventually, the Stoeckleys plan to produce a port named for Dr. Elijah Bartlet, who came to Louisiana in 1859 and built the row structures the couple now own.

The Stoeckleys want to turn one of their buildings into a boutique confer-ence center, hoping to attract corporate retreats and other groups, and another building will one day hold a European-style cooking school.

"These kinds of businesses will help people see Louisiana through different eyes," said Karen Stoeckley, "and they will bring people to town."

Let's Talk About Real Estate

£€DO PAST SAUES P R E D I C T FUTUME VALUE?"

Let's assume that two identical sisters build two identical homes next to each other at the same time. They decorate, furnish and maintain them in an identical manner. In June of the year after they are built, one of the sisters sells her home for $100,000. The following September, the other sister puts her home on the' market. It is necessarily true that the second home will also sell for $100,000? If not, why not? You may respond by saying that the conditions may be different in September than they were in June. You would be right. Interest rates may be higher or lower. The economy may be stronger or weaker. The differences in weather may be a factor. The most important factor, however, is the fact that the law of supply and demand for homes of this type may be dramatically different in September than in June. It is possible that the red estate market in June had fewer competing homes for buyers to see and many more to choose 'from in September. Recent sale prices do not necessarily predict future value. Each market has a different supply demand relationship than any previous market. Present value will be determined by the number of buyers in the market and the number of available properties for sale at the same time. Because the dynamics of the real estate market are constantly changing, you can be informed by using the professional services Realtor when planning to buy or sell a home.

2004 Toyota Camry LE makes the grade Advertising Feature

eport

% BY ANNE FRACASSA AVANTI NEWS FEATURES

. Anne I Fracassa

ORLANDO - It seems like Toyota Camry has been around forev-er. Introduced for the 1983 model year, the Camry has been chugging along for 21 years now, and during that time it's become one of America's best-selling fam-ily sedans. Not because it's flashy, hip or particularly powerful, but because it does enough things reasonably well at a cost that won't break the average family's wal-let. The 2004 Camry LE continues in this tradition and is worth looking at, if you're looking for a solid family sedan.

The Camry looks like an average family sedan. That's not a bad thing; it's an attractive enough look - just not the kind of look that wil get you ooh's and aah's from the neighbors. The sideways-almond-shaped multi-reflector headlamps feature an "auto off" mode, as do the Daytime Running Lights. The Camry also comes with dual power color-keyed mir-rors, color-keyed moldings and bumpers and 15" steel wheels.

There's a deceptive amount of room on the inside of the Camry LE. Leg and shoulder room is no problem, even for tall drivers, and you can actually fit adult-type people in the rear seating area. The trunk is roomy for a car of this size and it does have a foil-size spare. The rear seats fold down (60/40) for more cargo space. The power seats are cloth (leather is not avail-able on the LE), are comfortable and adjust to a good driving position. There's a

center console with cup hold-ers and stor-age.

Toyota has given the Camry a good list of stan-dard features that families seem to use most often. Air condition-ing, cruise control, remote keyless entry, power windows and door locks, rear window

digital clock come stan-dard. The standard audio system is an AM/FM/CD/Cassette system with six speakers; you can upgrade to a JBL system that includes a six-disc changer and more speakers. That package also includes a rear sunshade, cargo net and power moonroof.

The standard double overhead cam 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is rated at 157 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 162 lb.-ft. of torque and 4000 rpm - plenty of power to get around town and merge onto the free-way. And it's rated at 23/32 mpg on regu-lar fuel. There are two optional six-cylin-der engines, a 3.0 liter and a 3.3 liter. The 3.0 will give you 210 hp and the 3.3 liter rates out at 225 hp (with a dip of a few mpg's, plus they require premium fuel).

The four-speed automatic transmission (a five-speed manual is also available) has been outfitted with "grade logic" that

2004 Toyota Camry i £ Vehicle class: Mid-size. Power: Comes in 4- and 6-cylinder engine sizes. Mileage: 23 city/32 highway. Where Built: Toyota City, Japan, and Georgetown, VI.

selects the proper gear for uphill and : downhill driving. The shifts are smooth and the engine and transmission work well together.

The Camry rides fairly well; the inde-pendent suspension system and the rack-and-pinion steering/smooth out the bumps and make the Camry easy to maneuver. One caution; Toyota has not made anti-lock brakes standard on the Camry LE - it's a $300 option. Make sure you get it.

The 2004 Toyota Camry LE starts at slightly under $20,000. Add the ABS, and the upgraded sound/moonroof option and you're at about $22,000. There's a lot of family value in the 2004 Camry. It's not flashy, but it is a solid family sedan.
