Call it a Halloween practice run Call it another reason to extend the season

Costum ed characters ranging from Frankenstein to Tigger, from princesses to ninja warriors, from Harry Potter to D irty Harry roamed the streets in the city’s biggest costum e party o f the year

Light cityturnoutforecast

Despite the appearance o f a tax increase proposal on Tuesday’s general election ballot, Plymouth Clerk Linda Langmesser said all indications are the voter turnout won’t be any higher than in most elections

“I’m going to say about 25 per­cent,” Langmesser said “It’s unfor­tunate w e don t have a better turnout for local issues ’

Langmesser based her expecta­tions partly on the last five city elections, in which voter turnout ranged from 15 to 31 percent She also noted her office has issued 762 absentee ballots for this election, which is also m the normal range Absentee ballots can be turned m at the clerk’s office through 8 p m Tuesday

Hall election pits tradition, high-techBY BRAD KADRICHSTAFF WRITER

As the campaign to decide the fate o f the township’s abil­ity to sell $6 m illion in munic­ipal bonds to pay h alf the cost o f a new township hall winds down, proponents o f both sides are turning to traditional m ethods to espouse their views

Campaign literature has flowed from both sides, and

the Internet has also been playing a role W hile the “pro” camp - Concerned Citizens for Plymouth Township - is mostly using signs and fliers, those urging a no vote have added a Web site to the battle

The election Thursday will determine whether voters give township officials permission to sell the bonds to help pay the cost o f the $12 m illion project, which would see a 52,000-square-foot complex

built on property the township w ill buy from auto magnate Don M assey Both parties have signed a purchase agree­m ent for som e $1 6 m illion

The “no” position is being espoused by Citizens for a Responsive Government, the group responsible for the ref­erendum which placed the question on Thursday’s ballot The fight has been joined by a Web site called plym outh- facts com A flier w ith a return

Players spotlight Felix, OscarBY JOANNE MALISZEWSKISTAFF WRITER

It may not make them inter­national stars, but the Spotlight Players are w illing to give them a shot

A number o f local officials w ill make debut cameo appear­ances in the theater group’s first production - N eil Simon’s The Odd Couple - Nov 7, 8 ,9 and 14,15, and 16 at the Summit on the Park m 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 mov­ing to Canton, specifically the Village Theater at Cherry Hill, when com pleted m 2004 “Tom Yack has been so sup­portive,” Kuna said, referring to the township supervisor W e asked him to do a cameo role He asked if he could also get others involved He lined up the rest o f the cameos ’

A nd they are - m no order o f importance -Yack (Nov 7), state Rep Phil LaJoy (Nov 8), 35th D istrict Judge Mike Gferou (N ov 9), Canton Library Board member Dr Jim Gillig (Nov 14), Canton Township trustee Karl Zarbo (Nov 15), and Plymouth-Canton Superintendent Jim Ryan (N ov 16)

“They say it’s brie fsa id Ryan, about h is cameo appear­ance 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

Though renamed Spotlight Players, members are deter­mined to keep their decades- long history in the public eye W hen 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 m Northville and when the Village Theater is com­plete, it will have a permanent hom e m Canton

M eanwhile, the Spotlight Players w ill perform at dinner theaters at the Summit “It’s a nice night out for mom and dad,” Kuna said

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

‘W e were looking for som e­thing classic, funny and well- known,” Kuna said, o f the deci­sion to perform The Odd Couple ‘W e are trying to start a patron base so we wanted something fam iliar”

The Odd Couple is about neat and fastidious Felix Unger and

Oscar M adison, a sloppy sports writer Divorced, Unger and Madison decide to room together The play is about their unlikely friendship and their life m a N ew York apart­m ent

The play is directed by Barbara Bloom o f Canton She has already directed 65 shows, several for the Spotlight Players She is a theater gradu­ate from Wayne State University, but m oved to the M inneapolis area where she built up her resume

“I’m a professional actress - sing, dance, act I did a lot o f road shows, auto shows, mod­eling,” Bloom said

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

“For one thing w e are work­ing on a portable stage Set wise there are som e constric­tions And the cast has to be aware that people m aybe clanking glasses and what not,” Bloom said

The cast includes Canton residents Rob Bovitz, Tim Bruch and Jerry Carney, Plymouth resident Karen Southworth, Livonia resident Larry Rajda, Northville resi­dent Marian Fedewa, and Dearborn H eights resident Sean Paraventi

"Our claim to fam e is that we are open to everyone,” Kuna said That means everyone is welcome to participate Joining the Spotlight Players costs $20 a year But you can’t join in the fun without being a member, unless you are part o f the cast “Join up W hatever your inter­est is,” Kuna said Cast or crew, or anything else associated with a production is open W e have taken people who don’t know a drill from a screwdriver and they end up putting up fla ts”

The Players board is form ing a recruitment list for directors

The theater group is plan­ning to debut Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Oct 8 ,2 0 0 4 , after the Village Theater opens That w ill be follow ed by The M an Who Came to Dinner and Bye-Bye Birdie For informa­tion, go to the Web site www spotlightplayers net

Judge boots $100M lawsuitWayne County Circuit Court

Judge W illiam Giovan has d is­m issed the $100 m illion law­suit filed by former Plymouth resident Tom Prose against the City o f Plymouth and eight other defendants

The decision follow s a ruling in U S District Court m Detroit in March 2 0 02 , in which Judge John Corbett O’Meara denied Prose’s m otion for summary judgm ent O’Meara, instead, granted all the defendants summary judg­m ent, which cleared them of any damages

Prose is currently appealing the federal decision in the U S Sixth Circuit Court o f Appeals m Cincinnati

In the lawsuit filed Sept 18, 1999, Prose claimed h is civil rights were violated w hen W Edward Wendover, then pub­lisher o f the Community Cner newspaper, city officials and Plymouth police conspired to

file charges o f disorderly con­duct against Prose during his legal battles with Wendover

In his ruling dated Oct 23, Giovan issued a caveat to his ruling

“On its own motion, the Court dism isses this action Should the decision o f the U S District Court, Eastern District o f M ichigan, be reversed on appeal, plaintiff may move to reinstate this action, and, to that extent, this not a final judgm ent”

Prose said he believes Giovan is sim ply clearing his docket, and that he’ll be back m the state court after w inning his federal appeal

“It’s clear it’s a scheduling thing,” said Prose “Once we hear from th e federal court, it’s going to com e back to the state ”

That may not be far from the truth Attorney Gus Morris o f Cox, Hodgman & Giarmarco m

Troy, who is representing the city, som ewhat agreed

“We suspected we were cor­rect all along, but I was rather surprised by it,’ said M om s ‘My guess is that it was a dock­et m easure for Giovan, since the case dates back to 1999 It gets the case offh is pending list It could still come back, if the federal appeals court rules r in favor o f Dr Prose”

M om s said he filed supple­mental briefs in the federal case a w eek ago, and the next step w ill b e to schedule oral arguments “I was told that could take eight months to a year," said M om s

D efendants include Wendover, h is wife, Sally Repeck, th e City o f Plymouth, former p olice chief Bob Scoggins, L t Ed Ochal, former Cner em ployee Mike Came, former mayors Don Dismuke and Joe Koch and former city manager Steve Walters

McPherson, who returned to his duties at M SU about a m onth ago, gave an inside view as to what occurred in Iraq after the war was officially declared over to more than 150 people who attended the Kiwanis Club o f Colonial Plymouth m eeting Thursday at the Plymouth Historical Museum

“W hen I got there m early May, nothing was open, so we’ve made a quantum leap,” McPherson said “In a period of about four and a half m onths, we got a new curren­cy, got the banks opened, and introduced sweeping econom ic reforms

“The next few m onths are key,” added M cPherson “We have to get the security situa­tion under control If w e do pull this off, it’s going to change the M iddle East forev­er”

danger in all o f this, but it did­n’t seem that way when we were there,” said M cPherson “We just put on our flak jackets and w ent to work.”

M cPherson doesn’t believe Iraq should be asked to pay back the $87 billion approved by Congress to help recon­struct the country And, cer­tainly, not by exchanging m oney for oil

“It’s very im portant to be successful And, frankly, if we aren’t successful, it’s going to cost us more money,” he said ‘The Iraqi people, for the m ost part, don t think we’re there for their oil I f w e do, th is w ill becom e a major political issue in the country It would be a mistake ’

M cPherson, who has been president o f the East Lansmg institution for 10 years, also spoke o f the financial problems

“Our society has before it the question o f whether a col­lege education is a public good, which society should bear a t significant part o f the burden, or w hether it’s a private indi­vidual’s obligation,” he said “I % fear w e w ill lim it the number k o f students that go to college Public education has been the social and econom ic m obility • m our society, and I fear for th at”

Christiansen said if the m illage rate were increased the maxi­mum, it w ould cost the average homeowner $283

W hile the increase could total 3 63 m ills, City Manager Paul Smcock said in public inform ational m eetings he wouldn’t expect the com m is­sion to approve more than 2 25 m ills, or $176 per homeowner, if Proposal 1 is approved by voters That would still leave room for cuts m personnel qr services to com e up w ith a state-m andated balanced budget

In projections put together by Christiansen for the next five years, the city faces budget shortfalls o f more than $11 m illion in the 2004-05 budget year, to $2 4 m illion m fiscal year 2008-09

Voters w ill also decide which four o f the five candidates w ill be elected to the city com m is­sion Incum bents Dan Dwyer and M ichele Potter are seeking re-election Challengers include Peter Bunting, Anthony Guilliom and Dave

WorkmanThe candidates with the top

three vote totals w ill receive four-year terms The fourth- highest total will serve for two years

Mayor Bill Graham is not seeking re-election Mayor-Pro Tem Colleen Pobur is term lim ­ited and can’t run

Meanwhile, Langmesser said her office has downsized the number o f workers on election day to save the city money

“Usually we have 10 workers and two alternates scheduled for each precinct,” Langmesser said “However, because of budget restrictions, we’ll only have eight precinct workers and no alternates ”

Langmesser also noted that salaried personnel in City Hall will perform the setup duties for the election Monday night and Tuesday morning in order to save overtime costs associat­ed w ith M unicipal Services employees, who generally do the work

Precincts 1,2 and 4 are locat­ed at the Cultural Center Precinct 3 is at Central Middle School

The polls are open from 7 am t o 8 p m Tuesday

election law* I f (the flier) takes an advo

cacy position, the law says the "paid for’ information has to be included,” said Ken Silfven, spokesman for the Department of State

The Web site questions how township officials w ill pay for the project, and why other sites weren’t seriously considered Opponents o f the plan have said the M assey property, at Haggerty and Ann Arbor Road, where the hall would be built is ‘prime commercial land ’ that would be better served as a tax­generating property

Breen did not return calls seeking comment

Supervisor Steve M ann has countered that argument by saying the current location at Ann Arbor Road and Lilley, which w ill be sold to help finance the project, w ill also be a prime commercial property

The Concerned Citizens for Plymouth Township have used a campaign featuring bright yellow lawn signs and a senes o f fliers, some o f which went out before the referendum petitions were signed Both the township firefighters and police unions have urged voters to approve the referendum

“I’d like to think it’s going well,” said Harry Jachym, co- chair o f CCPT “We have a lot o f positive response from peo­ple O f course, next Thursday’s going to tell the story”

However, at least one o f the fliers was sent out using a postal permit purchased by Mann when he ran for supervi­sor in 2000 W hile state offi­cials said it’s not a violation o f the law, cntics have said it’s unseemly

Mann disagrees “That was at a point before

the referendum petitions were submitted,” Mann said That was a First Amendment, free speech issue It was a group of residents who wanted to get their information out, and asked me if they could use it

“There comes a tim e when it becom es a political issue, and when that tim e came, it was inappropnate to use my per­sonal permit, and the commit­tee went out and obtained its

township clerk

ownU S postal officials confirm

that the Concerned Citizens for Plymouth Township does have its own permit, assigned to com m ittee treasurer Roy Hart

M eanwhile, absentee ballots have poured m According to township Clerk Marilyn M assengill, the township had issued 2,721 ballots A s o f Friday afternoon, 1,964 had been returned

W hat does that m ean m term s o f turnout for Thursday’s election? M assengill said she couldn’t gauge it

This one, I think, is going to be higher,” she said “We still have a lot o f AVs o u t Some people are upset the election is on a Thursday, and I have to explain to them that I couldn’t get all o f the polling places for a Tuesday election ”

M assengill’s office was also fighting off criticism o f deputy Clerk Joe Bridgman Critics have said Bridgman, perhaps the m ost visible - as the co- chairman - o f Concerned Citizens for Plymouth Township, is going to play too big a role m the counting o f ballots Thursday Bridgman’s car was also reportedly seen parked outside tow nship hall bearing a sign urging people to vote m favor o f the bond sale

Such a situation w ould vio­late state election law, accord­ing to state officials, but M assengill said it isn’t true

“There was another car that had (a sign), but it was taken care of, said M assengill ‘ (Bndgm an) isn’t doing any­thing (with CCPT) on township tim e He s a citizen and he has a right to (campaign) I don’t thm k it’s a conflict ”

Mother charged in baby's drowning

The father o f a 20-year-old Canton resident charged with drowning her 11-month-old son m the bathtub o f her apartment said last week his daughter has a history o f mental health prob­lem s

“I just want the public to be aware that Jennifer has a histo­ry o f m ental health problems,” Prank St John o f Berkley said follow ing his daughter’s arraignment “She had been hospitalized for six to eight weeks recently She was on m edication”

His daughter, Jennifer Ann Avery, was arraigned in 35th District Court on one count o f murder in the first degree, one count o f felony murder, both o f which carry potential life sen­tences, and first-degree child abuse, a 15-year felony A plea o f not guilty was entered for her and she was remanded to the Wayne County Jail without bond by M agistrate Eric Colthurst

A preliminary exam is sched­uled N ov 7

Avery 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 breathing 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 pronounced dead on arrival

Avery’s husband,Christopher, was not at hom e at the tim e o f the incident

A t Friday's video arraignment Canton Detective Chad Baugh testified that Avery confessed to drowning her son

“During an interview the defendant confessed that there was a good person and a bad person inside her,” Baugh testi­fied “She said the bad person told her to hold her son under water until he stopped breath­in g”

St John attempted to address the court dunng the arraignment but was asked whether he wished to address the issue o f bond He said no, he wanted to talk about his daughter’s health problems

Colthurst said her health would be looked after w hile she was m jail, but St John d id speak w ith the magistrate at the bench after the arraign­ment

Bryan would have celebrated his first birthday Nov 13

Integrity questionMany o f you have been writ­

ing and reeding all of the liter­ature about the N ov 6 ,2 0 0 3 special election on the sale o f $6 m illion in bonds to be used to finance partial construction o f the proposed new Plymouth TbwnshipHall The sale o f bonds is the only portion o f this plan that requires your approval or disapproval

Consider the make-up o f som e o f the people who have endorsed the YES stance on the bond sale The “Concerned Citizens for Plymouth Township” is co-chaired by our deputy clerk and a member o f the zoning board o f appeals The treasurer serves on the compensation commission A large number o f people on the literature serve m appointed positions in the township and some don’t even live here

Most troublesome is the number o f people on this list who work at precincts on elec­tion day, the absentee counting board, and the clerk, Deputy Clerk and Administrative Assistant who are in the posi­tion to handle and process bal­lots

I am not accusing any o f the inspectors o f cheating, but election workers should m ain­tain a neutral public stance to avoid questions o f impropriety Of course, in an ideal world this would not be a problem because you w ould trust that integrity exists in the election process

In this case, our deputy clerk, who is appointed by the clerk, has had h is car parked within 25 feet o f the entrance to the clerk’s office with a yel­low “Yes” sign in the back win­dow visible to every person who goes to get an absentee ballot Is that ethical’ This alone should make a case for challenging the outcome o f this election because the damage he has done is unknown Your township clerk has permitted this and she does know better

This same deputy clerk went to the hom e o f at least one citi­zen who signed the petition to question the validity o f h is sig­nature, claim ing there wasn’t one on file Before he left the voter's house, he told the voter that we really need a new township hall Election law contains no provision for the intim idation o f a voter The law is clear If a signature does not match or does not exist, it is rejected

Supervisor Mann has said that officials w ill find another way to finance the project if the bond sale is rejected Perhaps the real issue here is not the sale o f bonds or a new township hall, rather the bla­tant disregard for people who do not agree with this adm inis­tration

I say, as the former deputy clerk m Plymouth Township (I resigned, my choice), and as a taxpayer, that I do not trust the judgm ent o f this administra­tion and I support the right o f the people to make that deci­sion Vote your conscience on Nov 6 M ine says “NO”'

Sandra Groth

Plymouth

Informed voteI’m finding that those m

favor o f building the new township hall are being loose

m their facts At this point in the debate, som e true facts might be helpful to those who wish to make an educated and informed vote on Nov 6

F actl It w ill be paid for with resident’s taxes because that’s where the township gets their m oney One resident said just last Thursday m this news­paper, “it w ill not be paid for by residents taxes ” That state­ment is not true

Fact 2 The cost to the tax­payers o f this township w ill be $466,000 for the next 20 years if this bond issue passes

Fact 3 This new township hall w ill dramatically increase the physical size and scope o f our small, lim ited township government

Fact 4 This special election is not a “sham efiil action” but an attempt to keep our big spending township board m check The real shameful action was when our supervi­sor said that he wofcld give the residents a vote in this matter, only to change his mind and try to do this without allowing u s the right to vote on the mat­ter

Fact 5 Plymouth Township voters have “pride” in that “people are our priority,’ not buildings

Fact 6 This new “pohce/fire and town hall” w ill not improve the quality o f life in this community, m fact it w ill lower it by burdening the tax­payers with $466 ,000 o f debt

Fact 7 Revenue sharing from the state is going to be cut next year, just like it was cut this year, further straining communities throughout the state

Fact 8 The township is going to need to come up w ith $907,000 a year when the City o f Plymouth pulls out o f our joint fire agreement

F acts The township w ill also need to com e up with $215,000 a year when the City o f Plymouth pulls out o f our joint dispatch agreement

Fact 10 Building on 9 39 acres o f prime land along Ann Arbor Road w ill mean that the township w ill be forgoing valu­able property taxes had the land been developed for busi­ness or retail purposes

Alternative uses

An honest person once said “there is nothing more seduc­tive than spending other peo­ple’s money” This is a saying that should be engraved upon the mam entrance of every city hall, township hall, school board office and courthouse m the nation

I have been reflecting upon that observation ever since the township board o f Plymouth discovered a new use for our $6 m illion surplus The prob­lem our elected officials m the township face is the fire w all enshrined m the Michigan Constitution by a truly great citizen, Mr Richard Headlee He knew 6ur human weak­nesses far better than most, weaknesses frequently m ani­fested upon the rest o f us by the very people w e elected to protect us

I visit the township hall reg­ularly, the last tim e, recently, to pay my taxes, some o f which

are undoubtedly represented m the 86 m illion surplus that our elected officials are so anxious to spend for their own comfort and aggrandizement

I didn’t find anything partic­ularly wrong w ith it and the ( other buildings around it In fact, the whole o f th is township property is a m onum ent to fis­cal rectitude, som ething I can’t say for our courthouse over on Plymouth Road

Now, I would like to offer r som e alternate uses for the ’present surplus and other sur- J pluses that w ill continue, Tresulting from the truly exten­sive new hom e and commercial building boom that surrounds us The first suggestion would be truly unique since I haven’t heard even one o f our elected leaders m ention it

1 Let’s reduce taxes T hefirst place to start would be with those poor souls who buy used hom es that don’t enjoy the same protections against confiscatory taxes enjoyed by >the present owner

2 The single most impor- * tant reason why many present homeowners won’t buy a new hom e is the loss o f their tax protection on the hom e they live in now Extending tax pro­tection to all hom es, new and used, w ill go a long way in pre- 9 venting owners from being “prisoners” in their present homes

What really appalls m e is that, m this fiscally conserva­tive community, our elected Republican officials act far more like Dem ocrats than the Republicans they claim to be '

I believe it w as a serious m is­take for the township board to i agitate for the H eadlee over­ride The only thing more seri­ous would be for w e voters to surrender the only real protec- J tion we have in preventing our elected officials, people we trusted, from taking us on a one-way n d e to runaway spending in Plymouth Township

Plymouth

Supports Bunting

I was pleased to see that the Plymouth Observer included Peter Bunting in its list o f Tendorsed candidates for Plymouth City Commission

During th is m onths candi dates debate, Peter demon­strated why he deserves a chance at serving on the next Plymouth City Commission 1H e understands the issues fac- * ing this city as m uch - if not 7 more - than the incumbent candidates

In conversations I have had with Peter, I’ve been not only im pressed w ith h is passion and „ com m itm ent for this commu­nity, but also w ith his honesty, « “can-do ’ attitude, and deep conviction that h is first respond sibility as a public officer is to ~ be an advocate for the citizens o f fins city \

I would encourage all citi- J zens o f Plym outh who have not > had a chance to speak with lPeter to do so prior to the elec- ' tion, as I am sure those who do * will see he has the potential to •' be o f great service to our city

'Y e s' right call on hall voteVoters h ead to th e p o lls N ov 6 to decide

w hether Plym outh Township officials can sell $6 m illion w orth o f m unicipal bonds to pay h a lf th e cost o f a $12 m illion tow nship h all project

We believe voters should say yesTownship officials have put together a cred­

ible plan to build a new tow nship hall nearly everybody agrees they need The current facil­ities are in poor condition, form an inefficient operation and an inconvenience to tow nship residents who m ust try to figure out w hich o f five buildings they’re supposed to visit

More im portantly, police and fire em ploy­ees are cram ped in to spaces that are far too sm all to perform their job s adequately Now, critics m igh t say, “B ut th ey ’ve been m th at sam e space for years and it has worked o u t” That m ay be true, but ‘because we’ve always done it that way” isn’t a reason to keep doing it that way

The tru th o f th e m atter is th e tow n sh ip facilities are antiquated and in efficien t It’s not like th is is a new idea, plans have circulat­ed arou n d th e to w n sh ip fo r m ore th a n a decade In fact, som e o f th e people dow nplay­ing the need for a tow nship hall now are the sam e fo lk s w ho advocated a new one years ago

There are som e questions W e w ould have

lik ed to have seen m ore d etailed review s o f other options, certainly o f the Chrysler prop­erty and perhaps even the idea o f build ing at th e current location

A nd th ere’s th e q u estio n o f w h eth er th e to w n sh ip w ou ld b e n e fit from p rim e reta il d e v e l o p m e n t o n th e M a s s e y p r o p e r ty H owever, Supervisor Steve M ann poin ts out that, once the hall is bu ilt and m oved, th e cur­rent property at A nn Arbor Road and Lilley w ill m ake a fetch ing p iece o f retail land itself

C ritics h ave c o m p la in e d M an n a n d his ad m in istration have n o t properly inform ed residents about the plans, but w e don’t believe th a t’s an accurate p ictu re W hile th e exact num ber o f dollars from each pot hasn’t been p resen ted , officials have la id out th eir plans for paying for th e project

T here w as a public hearing at St K enneth’s C hurch la st fa ll, th ere have been num erous publicized m eetings on th e subject at tow n­sh ip hall and the tow nship new sletter, m ailed to every resid en t in th e tow n sh ip , h as d is­cussed the project ad nauseum

H ave th e y an sw ered every q u estio n 1? O f course not But tow nship officials appear to us to have done their hom ew ork on th e M assey p roperty, and it ’s tim e to m ove on V oters should allow them to do that w ith a yes vote in th e N ov 6 election

City has left itself with little choice but to ask for override

Plymouth City Commissioner M ichele Potter believes the upcoming request for a Headlee rollback, which w ill result in a tax increase for city residents, is unnecessary because the city administration hasn’t looked hard enough at budget areas to cut

Other commissioners believe asking for the rollback, Proposal 1 on your Nov 4 ballot, is the only way out o f a projected $12 m illion budget deficit next year

As usual w ith situations such as these, we believe the truth lies somewhere m between That’s why we support the Headlee rollback, although it is guarded support offered with a ‘W hat choice is there?” hesitation

The rollback w ill allow th e city to raise its tax rate to 15 m ills for each o f the next three years Currently, the city charges just over 11 m ills, meaning a homeowner with an average taxable value o f $ 8 0 ,000 would see an increase o f som e $283 a year, according to numbers put out by the administration

While commissioners have said they wouldn’t necessarily raise the millage rate all the way to 15 mills, voters should really base their decision on the idea the rate w ill go as high as possible in case commissioners decide there’s no other way to erase the debt

And, according to the city’s financial experts, that’s exactly the case City finance director Mark Christiansen said during talks about Proposal 1, that even the rollback wouldn’t erase the deficit Commissioners appear to agree

Cuts in city services are alm ost certain to hap­pen, no matter the fate o f Proposal 1 The unen­viable position m which residents find them ­selves is this Being forced to choose between m assive cuts in services, or more m odest cuts

Since foresight in seeing such a budget bind com ing doesn’t appear to have been a strength in the city, residents are left w ith little choice, unless they want services cut drastically

Potter believes a more detailed, and tougher, look needs to be taken at the city’s budget num­bers She thinks, and we agree, more cuts can - and should - be made Times are tough all over and while no one likes to see jobs being lost, it’s a fact o f life m today’s economy

The city’s precarious financial position is also a fact o f life Some commissioners have admit­ted they dropped the ball and didn’t see the financial crunch coming

It seem s to us the only way to avoid severe cuts m services if for voters to bail the city out, and approve Proposal 1

Democrats' debate offered little in style or substance

Last week, to great fanfare, the nm e-count- ’em -m ne Democratic candidates had what was called a ‘ debate” m D etroit’s swanky Fox Theater There were flashy backdrops' Flag bunting galore' Power ties' A podium for every palate'

Yet every sign indicates that the public paid next to no attention to it The next day, no one outside the political classes w as talking about the so-called debate

The general public wasn’t allowed anywhere near the affair, and m ost “nor-

■ mal” people seemed only

vaguely aware it had happened at all

And sm all wonder The entire thing was largely - although not com pletely - a grotesque waste o f tim e, at least if you expected to get real

.... insight into these candidatesRoger A iles, the former

lessenberry { Reagan “spin doctor” who is now president o f Fox News, called it “a public service so

critical to our democratic process”Fact is that it was anything but frankly, it

couldn’t have been, the number o f candidates and the form at made anything like a reasoned comparison o f views, or even o f temperaments and styles, im possible m an hour and a half

W hat happened was that a candidate was asked a question, and then another candidate would be asked a different question There was no real opportunity to compare views, although some used their questions to take nasty little digs at their com petitors ("Unlike Senator X , I have always been in favor o f jobs and mother­hood”)

Fox News thought so highly o f the m arketabil­ity o f its ‘public service” that it did not broadcast it on its mam over-the-air channel, relegating it instead to the far reaches o f cable Actually, the debate was jointly sponsored by Fox, traditional­ly regarded as the m ost conservative o f net­works, and the Congressional Black Caucus, which is seen as among the m ost liberal o f fac­tions

And w ithin that odd pairing lies the Democratic Party’s fundam ental paradox

Everybody knows that the Democratic nom i­nee w ill get at least 9 0 percent o f the African- American vote for president next year And everybody knows that the Republican candidate - Mr Bush - w ill get a majority o f white votes

This always happens In Detroit, both A1 Gore and Jennifer Granholm got 9 4 percent o f all the votes - about as close to unanimous as you can have in a democracy

Yet at the same tim e, in th is nation where race is still the defining American dilemma, Democrats have to make sure they are not per­ceived as the “black party” The last Democrat who won a majority o f the w hite vote was

Lyndon Johnson in 1964Tbday, Democrats can w in the presidency - or

the governorship of M ichigan - only by getting a large black turnout and a large minority share o f the w hite vote

Democrats fear that if their candidate is per­ceived as being “too pro-black,” he or she w ill be overwhelmed at the polling places o f white America

However, if a Democratic candidate is per­ceived as not being friendly enough to African- American interests, many black voters may ju st stay hom e, which is what happened to then-G ov James Blanchard in 1990

Last week’s debate featured a black m oderator and a local black anchorman Questioners tossed softer-edged questions at the two black candidates, A1 Sharpton and Carol M oseley Braun, neither o f whom has a real chance at the nom ination

Sharpton, in fact, stole the show with lines like “Replace the Christian right with right Christians” and “Why are we told that it is an honor for the poor to die for their country, w hile it is a burden for the rich to pay their taxes to their country?”

U S Rep Dennis Kucmich (D -O hio), the for­mer national joke as mayor o f Cleveland, showed he was still Dennis the M enace w ith h is bizarre assertion that there had been 3 0 0 m ur­ders in D etroit in September The real figure was 33 Kwame Kilpatrick, Detroit's mayor, w as so upset he demanded, and got, a correction during the debate

Possibly the worst news for the Democrats, however, were that the gang o f nine spent m ost o f their tim e conveying a Johnny-One-Note m essage Bush and his policies are bad They managed to score a few points, though the for­mat and the tim e constraints m eant their argu­m ents w ere m ostly reduced to little more than slogans

But they were much less good at offering the voters som ething to be for U S Sen John Edwards did, m an intriguing part o f h is closing statem ent, pledge to make higher education affordable for all W esley Clark, though it w as clear he was new to the political wars, m anaged to convey an im pression o f strength and leader­ship, though it wasn't exactly clear where he wanted to lead us

Eventually, some dem ocrat may emerge from th is process who is able to make a real connec­tion w ith the people The econom y and the morass in Iraq may turn voters so sour that they w ill elect just about any Dem ocrat when they go to vote for president one year from today For now, however, the football seem s the president’s to fum ble

Michigan ranked 9th for small business policy

Gov Jennifer M Granholm announced recently that M ichigan ranks 9th in the nation, up tw o spots from last year, for b est policy environ­m ent for small business and entrepre­

n e u r sh ip , according to the Small JJ Business Survival Com m ittee (SBSC)% o f W ashington, D C % “M ichigan was built on entrepre- £ neunal spirit and sm all business is still

at the heart o f our ongoing econom ic success,” Granholm said "With the many resources M ichigan has avail­able to promote entrepreneurship and help new companies thrive, we can expect to see even m ore sm all busi­nesses growing in the m onths and years to come ”

Granholm cited M ichigan’s i SmartZoneSM business accelerators

•^and Small Business Technology and ^D evelopm ent Centers, working m $ partnership w ith the M ichigan

Economic Developm ent Corporation (MEDC), as examples o f resources

«that are helping entrepreneurs trans­form their ideas and business plans into successful com panies

M ichigan increased its standing from llth overall last year m the Small Business Survival Index, an annual comparative study conducted by the SBSC that analyses 21 major govern­m ent-im posed or governm ent-related costs im pacting sm all business Among them are incom e tax rates,

corporate income tax rates, state and local taxes and health care costs According to the index, the best policy environment for entrepreneurship and small business consists o f low taxes, lim ited government, restrained regu­lation and the government’s ability to m aintain a low crime rate

According to the U S Small Business Administration Office o f Advocacy, businesses with fewer than 500 employees account for 99 7 per­cent o f all employers and create 60 to 80 percent o f net new jobs There were more than 211,000 non-farmmg small businesses operating m M ichigan m 2002, employing a total of over 2 m illion workers

McCotter tours Iraq reconstructionBY HUGH GALLAGHER

STAFF WRITER

U S Rep Thaddeus M cCotter (R-Livonia) is in Iraq th is w eek­end as part o f six-person Congressional tour o f reconstruc­tion m the war torn country com ­ing on the heels o f several rocket attacks and suicide bom bings in Baghdad

The Red Cross and the U nited N ations have both announced reductions o f foreign staff in response to the attacks

M cCotter “was reached by phone at Camp W olf in Kuwait, the em barkation and debarkation site for U S troops, w here he was getting ready for a three-day visit to Baghdad, M osul and other Iraqi sites

M cCotter said w hen th e con­gressional m em bers, four Republicans and tw o Dem ocrats, got m the van to the airport in W ashington an effort was made to dissuade them from taking the trip m light o f the recent attacks, but they decided to proceed

H e said security is an issue ‘ They’re very concerned

Ramadan is a trigger They (ter­rorists) see us as an occupying Am erican force,” M cCotter said

M cCotter is traveling w ith other m embers o f the H ouse Small Business Com m ittee He

McCotter

also serves on House internation­al affairs and budget com m ittees

* The No 1 reason I’m here is my position with the sm all busi­ness com m ittee, assessing recon­struction on the ground,” he said

M cCotter is concerned that Am erican sm all and m edium ­sized businesses have a role m the reconstruction as w ell as m ulti­national corporations

M cCotter said the increased attacks are evidence o f the suc­cess o f Am erican efforts to recon­

struct Iraq’s infrastructure and econom y follow ing major m ilitary actions earlier th is year

“They w in w ith chaos,” he said “The m ore the reconstruction succeeds, the m ore chaos they create They targeted a tank today to slow our reconstruction efforts ’

M cCotter said he is concerned about the reduction o f staff by the International Red Cross and the U nited N ations

“Every day that things go right, they increase their attacks

“You’re always concerned when som eone alters their behavior because m light o f terrorist attacks,” h e said “I f they’re (the Red Cross and U N ) ju st doing it to reassess that’s one th ing, but if they are p u lling out because o f terror that w ill only encourage th em ”

M cCotter said he w ill be tour­ing reconstruction o f schools and businesses over the next three days and then fly to Ram stein Air Base in Germany w here he w ill m eet w ith German and Am erican business officials and U S m ili­tary leaders

It’s a good thing the M ichigan High School Athletic Association had mercy on the Wayne Memorial Zebras Friday night

Because the Canton Chiefs certainly didn’t show them any

The Chiefs scored the first six tim es they touched the ball — including a 70-yard punt return — and routed the Zebras, 49-12, m a Division 1 district playoff win

The Chiefs now face W estland John Glenn, which won a 28-26 thriller over Saline Friday night That game takes place Friday at 7 p m

Senior running back Travis McKinney returned the punt for the game’s first score, and all four backfield starters scored at least once as the Chiefs (10-0) rolled

“Our special team s have been real good, and our defense came out and got after them,” said Canton coach Tim Baechler, who played his reserves much of the second half “Offensively,

Madonna University’s women’s soccer team went through a tough stretch earli­er this year where it lost som f - games Crusader coach Mark Zathey felt it should have won

Particularly troubling to Zathey were losses to Cornerstone and Siena Heights

Madonna eventually righted itself, and on Wednesday got the ultimate revenge, beating Siena Heights 3-1 to capture its third W olvenne-Hoosier Athletic Conference champi­onship

Senior midfielder Christen Shull scored the game-winner 16 m inutes into the second half as the Crusaders earned an automatic berth into regional play

“We were very well-organ­ized, and our m idfielders did a good job o f giving our for­wards a chance to go in and score,” said Zathey,

Madonna earned a first- round bye in the WHAC tour­nament The Crusaders w ill play Wednesday the winner o f Saturday’s game between

Aquinas and Spring Arbor

Junior Sarah Pack, who last year set the school single­season record w ith 29 goals and 63 points, got M adonna on the board first, knocking hom e her 26th goal at the 4 20 mark

Assists came from Lacey Cattarmo and Kelly Japowicz

Siena’s Valerie Gutierrez tied it at 1-1 just 2 14 into the second half

Shull got her seventh goal o f the season on a pass from Emily Jackson at the 61 55 mark, and Jackson closed out the scoring with an unassisted goal, her eighth o f the year, with 59 seconds rem aining in the game

After falling to the Saints 3- 1 the first tim e the tw o team s met, Zathey said it was good to exact som e revenge

Siena Heights goalkeeper Kara McKeon challenges Madonna's Sarah Pack,

but Pack got by her and scored the first goal of the game

‘W e went through a tough stretch, but we resurrected ourselves, Zathey said Its a pretty good rivalry, usually dictated by the w ill o f the players”

Freshman goalkeeper Diana Kaip didn’t get much

work, as the Saints struggled for shots

Siena had only eight shots, just three on net Kaip was credited with two saves

MU women hope to build on success8Y1RAD KADRICHSTAFF WRITER

A year ago, the Madonna University women’s basketball team put together a Cinderella finish to their season, winning their final eight games, coast­ing through the Wolverme- Hbosier A thletic Conference tournament and com ing with­in |hree points o f upsetting the top team in the land m the NAIA nationals

If the Crusaders want to put together another storybook season this year, they’re not going to be able to sneak up on anyone to do it, so coach Marylou Jansen has them focused on the goal right from the start

“We haven’t played a game yet, so it’s hard to tell how (good) we’re going to be,” said Jansen, whose Crusaders open Friday with a non-conference game against visiting Indiana Wesleyan “M ygoalisto liave this team com e together dyer the course o f the season If we can be com petitive in November and December,

Madonna women's basketball coach

Marylou Jansen took the Crusaders

from fifth seed to conference tourna­

ment champion last year

w e’ll do well m January and February”

That’s when they did w ell last year The Crusaders went 8-6 in the WHAC, and won the conference tournam ent despite

being the fifth seed They went into the NAIA tournament and took the top team , Concordia, N e b , to the lim it before falling, 73-70

This year, the Crusaders are ranked fifth m the pre-season poll, in which Spnng Arbor, Cornerstone and Indiana Tech tied for the top ranking The lower ranking isn’t a big deal to Madonna's players, who like com ing in as the underdog

“We had a talented team in the beginning last year, but we had problems playing togeth­er,” said senior center Courtney Rehbine “We got sick o f los­ing, and we came together to play as a team instead o f indi­viduals This year, we’re already playing that way, so I think we can definitely sur­prise some people ”

Rehbine, at 6-foot-2 one o f three players Jansen is count­ing on to play in the post for Madonna, averaged 10 3 points and nearly seven rebounds last year Jansen said she’s picking up where she left o f f

“You have to double-team

her, and that opens up the other people,” Jansen said “She’s had som e knee trouble, and shes still on the mend a little bit, but she’s more refined th is year”

Also in the post for the Crusaders will be 6-foot-l Haley Myer^ a senior who had previously played volleyball and had been unavailable for the Crysaders for the first sev­eral weeks o f the season

This year, for the first time, she’s not playing volleyball, and Jansen said it’s made all the difference

“She focused on pre-season conditioning, and she’s in the best shape ever,” Jansen said “Her strength is her athleti­cism She runs the floor very w ell It’s not unusual to see her get a rebound, make the outlet and be the first one down the floor”

Sophomore Sarah Thomson, an all-rookie choice as a fresh­man, completes the post tri­umvirate for the Crusaders She averaged eight points and five rebounds a gam e, and shot 62 percent from 3-point range in lim ited attempts

“Those three are so inter­changeable,” Jansen said “We don’t miss a beat with (Thomson) on the floor She’s got great hands, so she can pass, and she has an outside gam e”

Madonna has ‘lo ts to choose from” m the backcourt, Jansen said, but those who should see the m ost time include 5-10 junior Marwa Ayoub and 5-6 junior Jackie Pmgston

“(Ayoub) is a cutter and slasher who is a good 3-point shooter,” Jansen said “She’s a weapon m her third year in the program (Pmgston) came over from Wayne State and didn’t have much o f an outside shot, but she worked on it w ith our coaching staff to make it bet­ter”

An intriguing player could be sophomore point guard Lydia Prusmowski, the starter before tearing her ACL a year ago Prusmowski, who aver­aged five points and had 21 assists in nine games, is work­ing her way back

“She’s been cleared to play, and we hope she can work her

way back in,” Jansen said M adonna w ill need all the

weapons it can get in the WHAC, despite the departure o f Tri-State, which applied to becom e a Division III school, according to athletic director Bryan Rizzo

That still leaves Spring Arbor, Cornerstone and Indiana Tech to contend with But the Crusaders proved last year they could hang w ith the big team s in the conference, even beating Cornerstone on its own floor for the first tim e m school history

“We won our last three on the road, ’ Jansen said W e

proved we could not only com pete, but we could beat them ”

Jansen said the Crusaders are still benefittm g from those experiences, and com ­bined w ith what she says is a balanced attack th is year could put Madonna m contention

“To beat us, you’re going to have to shut us down inside, but that w ill open us up m ore outside,’Jansen said ‘W e’ve got a better outside gam e this year I think we’re pretty bal­anced ”

Madonna men's basketball coach Berme Holowicki hopes his Crusaders can

improve on last year’s 14-16 record

Crusader men hope for break-out yearBY BRAD KADRICHSTAFF WRITER

Madonna University m ens basketball coach Berme Holowicki knows his Crusaders are com ing o ff the best season m school history

But when that produces just a 14-16 record, the coach knows there’s room for improvement, and that’s exactly what H olowicki is hoping for from Madonna

The Crusaders, who went 6- 8 in the W olvenne-H oosier A thletic Conference and lost in the first round of the con­ference tournam ent, are hop­ing for solid production from their largest group of return­ing letterm an in history

Five seniors are am ong the 10 players who return for M adonna, w hich opens the season W ednesday at hom e against Rochester College

“Our team chem istry is out­standing, and our work ethic has been good,” Holowicki said o f pre-season workouts “They’ve really been going at it”

W hile the Crusaders lost Aaron Cox, the fourth player in school history to score1,000 points, they hope to turn to the 1-2 punch o f senior Dan Kurtinaitis and junior Noel Emenhiser, the school’s

top two scorers Kurtinaitis, a 6-foot-3

guard who shot nearly 41 per­cent from 3-pom t range and averaged 14 6 points a year ago, was a first-team all-con­ference player, despite m issing tim e w ith an injury Holowicki called him “the fiercest com­petitor I’ve ever coached ”

“He’s the type o f guy who pulls everyone up with him ,’ the coach said “He’s unselfish He doesn’t care about his own points He knows how to wm He’s our engine, no doubt about it ”

Kurtinaitis is excited about his team ’s chances this year H e said the team is ready for a break-out season

“We’ve got a lot of people com ing back and we’ve got good team chemistry,” Kurtinaitis said A lot o f the kids have played with each other for at least a year, so we know what we can do ”

Emenhiser is a 6-foot-5 jun­ior who w ill play the three- spot for the Crusaders He averaged 16 8 points last year, and Holowicki said hes worked on his perimeter game all summer

The coach also said Emenhiser’s basketball instincts have improved, and he’s stronger than he was

H is best asset is his jump

shot,” the coach said “He stretches out the defense, because they have to guard him He’s a good board man, to o ”

W hen they’re not going out­side, the Crusaders w ill turn to 6-foot-5 Chris Behrns, a 235-pound post player Holowicki says is a versatile big man

“He’s very strong inside,” Holowicki said “We can post him up, but he can go out and shoot the three ’

“(Kofahl) has a great first step, and he’s learned to drive and kick the ball out,” Holowicki said We re count­ing on (Nadolni) to make his presence known We’re hoping he blossom s this year If he can raise his game, that’ll

make us very tough ” H olowicki thinks the

Crusaders w ill need to be tough, because he calls the WHAC perhaps d ie best league in the state Madonna starts the season ranked fifth in the pre-season poll

Siena H eights won it last year, but Holowicki also likes the looks o f Cornerstone and Indiana Tech The Crusaders are hoping to improve on their fifth-place finish

“The league is tough as heck, as always,’ Holowicki said “All three are loaded with talent ’ To com pete, the Crusaders have to get out and run, the coach said

“We’ve gotta push the ball, run first and set up second/ Holowicki said “In the half­court, we try to punish people by m aking them play defense on us Defensively, we have to stop people and rebound We’ve put a lot o f tim e in on th a t”

Canton's Devin Thomas comes down w ith the catch in front of Wayne's Absalom Goode during Canton's 49-12 win

over the Zebras Friday

FOOTBALLFROM PAGE B1

I was pretty happy Our offensive line executed, and our backs just exploded ”

After McKinney’s punt return score, senior running back Devin Thomas raced around the right end for a 71- yard score, and sophomore quarterback Shawn Little did Idle same on a 29-yard run w ith 2 54 left in the first quarter

M cKinney got h is second touchdown o f the game on a 7-yard run w ith 3 05 left m the first h alf After a Jake Powers interception set Canton up at Wayne’s 37 yard line, Little found Thomas for a 40-yard touch­down pass to stretch the lead to 35-0

Under MHSAA rules, the gam e operates under a run­ning clock as long as one team holds a 35-pom t lead in the second half

Wayne (6-4) sim ply could­n’t get anything going against the swarming team defense the Chiefs displayed N o Chief dom inated the defensive stat sheet, but nearly all o f them were on it as Canton shut down Wayne’s top runner, senior Tyrone Dillard, who rushed for just 64 yards on 16 car­ries

‘ Our plan was to play team defense,’ said Powers, who was all over the field with, four tackles, two assists, 15

sacks and the pick “As long as everyone did their jobs, we could stop them defensively

The Chiefs erased any doubts on the first play o f the second half, when junior Chuck Schumacher, who rushed for som e 9 0 0 yards this year, broke off a 56-yard touchdown run

Schumacher finished with 115 yards on 10 carries, Thomas added 94 yards on just four carries and McKinney chipped in 55 yards on seven carries

Defensively, Thomas added an interception and junior Jeff Hudson had six tackles and two assists

Backup fullback Joe Zugay finished Canton’s scoring with a 25-yard run with 6 31 left in the game

Wayne scored a pair o f m eaningless touchdowns late — a four-yard pass from Brad W ilson to Jerrelle Borden and a 60-yard run by junior Terrill Ford with 5 54 left — but the big plays the Chiefs got undermanned any defensive effort the Zebras could make

“W hen you play defense against an offense like that, you have to play together, said Wayne coach Craig Hnatuk, who took over a 1-8 team and turned them into a playoff squad

“If a guy isn’t where he belongs, you’re watching them run for a long touch­down ”

W estland John Glenn defen­sive back John Adams had one more play on defense to redeem him self

W ith the host Rockets cling­ing to a two-point advantage and Saline lining up for the gam e-tying two-pointer with only 33 seconds left, Adams w as looking to make amends against receiver Brian Feldkamp, who had just caught a 30-yard touchdown pass

“I saw him (Feldkamp) go m, and then h e cut it right back, I just tried to get out real quick, and I jum ped on it,” said Adams, who batted the pass away near the right side o f the end zone and just inside the goal line, to preserve a thrilling 28-26 first-round football play­off Friday w in over the Hornets You just go out and play your hardest when it com es your way It just felt aw esom e”

Glenn, 9-1 overall, survives to play another day and sets up a rematch against Western Lakes A ctivities Association cham pion Canton, which improved to 10-0 Friday with a 49-12 triumph over Wayne M emorial m the other District 2-Region 3 gam e in Division I Canton won the first meeting against Glenn, 21-6, when the tw o team s m et on Sept 5

“The positive thing to come out o f th is is that we fought — that’s a good football team (Saline) — and we had to fight our guts out to win,” Glenn coach Chuck Gordon said

The Rockets were able to overcome 455 yards in total offense by the Hornets, who ran a hurry-up offense out o f the shotgun

Saline junior quarterback Sean Brown connected on 20- of-38 passes for 280 yards, but was intercepted three tim es

Brown’s 30-yard TD pass to Feldkamp, ironically, eluded th e hands o f Glenn defensive backs Rece Cox and Adams

“The ball got over my head, I thought it was going nght to m e and just misjudged it, said the 5-11,148-pound Adams “W hat made it tough is that they had four or five receivers on any play, whereas in our league we probably see two at the m ost ”

The Rockets countered with total o f337 total yards and once again relied on the potent legs o f 5-foot-8,180-pound senior tailback Matt Smitherman, w ho started slowly — four carries for 3

yards m the first quarter — before catching fire and finish­ing with 220 yards on 33 car­ries and two touchdowns

“He’s been our best player and there’s going to be tim es when it’s going to be tough and not there,’Gordon said “But even when things don’t work out w ell, you ve got to stick with i t ”

Saline drove to the Glenn 28 on its initial dnve o f the game, but came up short on fourth- and-9 After Glenn w ent three- and-out, the Hornets drove the ball 67 yards m nine plays capped by Brown’s 9-yard TD keeper He also drilled the extra point to make it 7-0 with 6 10 left in the first quarter

Glenn tied it, 7-all, on its sec­ond dnve, going 65 yards m seven plays capped by Vinme DeLuca’s 19-yard TD toss to Nathan Beard w ith 2 36 to go m the first penod But the big play occurred on third-and-2 when DeLuca, who was 7-of-15 passing for 74 yards, scrambled out o f file pocket and hurled an 46-yard stnke to Adams, who hauled it m at the Saline 32

“They (Saline) had momen­tum — that was an important pass and score,” Gordon said “We had to get back in the game because things were not going w ell ”

Enc Schambers’ interception — caused by a tip at the line o f scnmmage from pass rusher Josiah Swartz — set up Glenn’s second TD when Smitherman pulled off a scintillating spm -a- rama move, a-la Barry Sanders and ran 30-yards for a score DeLuca’s PAT made it 14-7 w ith 9 56 left m the half

Each team then turned the ball over twice before the half had ended

Beard recovered a Saline fumble near m idfield and line­backer Jake Fairchild’s inter­ception stopped a Saline threat at the 5 with 44 seconds to go

But the Rockets also came up empty at the Saline 11 when Nate Kissell picked off a jum p- ball pass m the end zone and Joe Sheridan pounced on a Glenn fumble at the Rockets’ 39

“Turnovers killed us,” Saline coach Mike Glennie said “We had plenty o f opportunities We get down to the 5-yard line and miss an opportunity M issed opportunities are som etim es the name o f the game ”

In the third quarter, Glenn scored on its first possession, a

2-yard sneak by DeLuca with 9 31 left (the kick was blocked) Smitherman fol­lowed w ith a 5-yard off-tackle run to make it 28-7 (following DeLuca’s tw o-point keeper) w ith 6 46 rem aining in the period That TD was a result o f Brian Peterson’s interception and return to the Saline 26

But the Hornets, who were able to get Paul Dapkus loose in the running gam e during the second half, would not go away

Dapkus, who finished with 154 yards on 20 carries, ripped off a 36-yard run and two plays later, Brown found Feldkamp open for a 23-yard TD toss to make it 28-13 w ith 4 59 still rem aining in the third quarter

The Hornets, however, could not convert the all-important extra point (after a 5-yard delay o f gam e) w hen Brown’s attem pt sailed wide

Saline then marched 77 yards m nine plays capped by Dapkus’ 25-yard TD jaunt with 6 41 rem aining in the game Brown’s extra point kept the H ornets m it, trailing by only eight, 28-20

“We gave up 14 points (to Glenn) in third quarter, but I was proud o f the fact that we were able to fight back,” G lennie £aid “We played well We just made som e mistakes ”

The Rockets got tw o impor­tant first downs to eat up 4 m inutes and 38 seconds o f die clock late m the fourth quarter, but dnve stalled at the Saline 23 after a costly holding penal­ty pushed them 9 yards back.

W ith only 2 03 remaining, but with three tim eouts m hand, Brown cooly directed an 11-play, 76-yard sconng dnve which took just 1 m inute and 30 seconds

Once he converted on third- and-6, w hile oh another occa­sion he converted for the first down on fourth-and-12 to keep the dnve going

‘ He (Brown) has good feet and a good arm, but most im portantly he had a good release,’ Gordon said

Following Feldkamp’s 30- yard TD catch w ith less than a m inute to go to pull the Hornets to w ithin two, Glenn had to w ipe the previous play o f its mind

“W hen you’re a defensive back, you have to have amne­sia,” Gordon said Y ou have to forget the previous play and battle on the next one ”

The Rockets did just that

Longing for sounds of silencee mt, when i t comes to

musid, IV© always

to crank up the vo l­

ume as much as the next guy

But la te ly I ’ve been d riv ing

w ith the rad io tu rned o ff and

the w indows up I long fo r

the pure beauty o f quiet

“Tu rn th a t m usic dow n'” I

ye ll to m y daughter

“B u t Mom , i t ’s no t tha t

Maybe not B u t m y nerves

are so shot the slightest

reverberation gets m y j eardrums th robb ing ai^d m y

head pounding The reason

Tm so on edge? A lita n y o f

acoustic attacks th a t have

assaulted m y aud ito ry

processes fo r some tim e

The latest inc ident

occurred du ring the peaceful,

early m orn ing hours o f a

beautifu l fa ll day I was sud­

denly shocked out o f sleep by the deafening dm o f concrete

being pum m eled open w ith a

large d rill

D irec tly beneath m y bed­

room w indow was an arm y o f

bulldozers, cement trucks

and other vehicles tearing

open the earth

B A M S’B A M ' B A M ' The

whole house shook from the

incessant pounding N o t only

that, bu t I knew I d idn ’t have

much tiin e The c ity was going to tu rn ou r w ate r off

again, so I had to jum p m the

shower fast

M y neighbors and I have

lived w ith th is construction

cacophony fo r m onths now

Road crews began tearing up the street as soon as school

started (tim ing is everything)

to replace aging w ate r mams

me choking in a cloud o f dust M y 4-year-old trie s to

get a closer look a t the gaping

hole next to the curb, b u t I

grab he r hand and pu t her m

Besides being late, I ’m a

little stressed by the fact her

b irthday p a rty is the next day

How could I get the house

cleaned w ith no w ate r9

W ould people be able to

make it to ou r house9 ( It tu rns out on ly tw o people got

stuck in the construction

loud, too I th in k the rea l rea­

People always say to me, ‘‘Oh you w o rk a t hom e That

Nice, yes Q uiet, no A t

The trad ition of giving

Christmas cards dates from the V icto rian era According to an

Inform ation Please Web site, the

practice began m 1843 when a

B ritish businessman commis­

sioned a rtis t John Calcut Horsley

to p rin t Christmas cards About a

thousand black and w hite cards

were printed and then hand-col­

ored. London printers Charles

Goodall & Sons began mass pro­

ducing cards m the 1860s w ith the

saying “M e rry Christmas ” Through the years, Christmas

cards have been a good way to

keep in touch w ith old friends and

distant fam ily members They've

also become a good way fo r chan­

ties to raise money We asked local

chanties to send us examples o f th e ir cards The cards are an

opportunity to send ho liday w ish­

es and support a favorite cause

the liveliness o f the c ity is

attractive

“I love being m the w indow

F ryd l said “Its grow ing and

becoming a more desirable place to live As i t grows, it

needs the salon to grow w ith it,

Fryd l said the education o f

he r employees sets Salon

Awesome apart from some of the others She said her stylists

are tra ined to give the most

current looks, along w ith the

classic styles

The seven-member staff

recently took in a h a ir show at

purchase and install a rock climbmg wall in the gym last spring when his wife, Laura Covintree nominated him fa the award.

"There are so many things that come to mind when you think of that one special teacher who made vour education experience something special, wrote Laura Unfortunately I never thanked my teachers for a ll the hard work and dedication that they invested in my education That is why 1 write regarding Lars.

"Lars has beena teacher for the last eight years and looks at physical education as way not only to stay fit but to build self-esteem and enhance life, stated Laura.

Lars spends the school year teaching his elementary class not only life sports (tennis, volleyball bowling, golf and many more) but he also tries to make it fun for each child no matte- their skiilleveL

In Lars class it doe£ not matter if you are the jock or the spectator he makes theclass and activity fun.

Lars has, over the years, built a portable golf course and bowling alley in addition to the rock climbmg walL

Tie spent many hours last summer paintmg a map of the United States on the wall to teach his students about the states He does this by asking the children to place team logos on the corresponding states and even asks the older children to figure the time it w ill take the teams to travel from state to state. And as a way of promoting higher education he wears sweatshirts and t shirts from colleges (from big to small) from all over the world

Lais is dedicated to giving young athletes the foundation to become stronger and smarter as they grow and develop, wrote Laura.

Lars Covintree is a dedicated and caring teacher and The Observer & Eccentric Newspapers salutes him as a Feature Ifeacher for October

My teacher it tops' wrote Kevin Cunningham last spring when, w ith a little help from his

mother Rosenary, he nominated his former first and second grade teacher Dorothy Richie as an

Outstanding Teacher

The Observer & Eccentric Newspapers thinks Dorothy Richie is just as amazing as Kevin says

and recognizes her as an October Feature Teacher

She taught me how to read and write and I love to read said Kevin, who is now in the third

grade at fisher Elementary School m foe South Redford School District

Mrs. Richie taught Kevin in the first mid second grades That s because Fisher uses what s called a loop program which means that this year she s teaching first grade but next year she 11 teach the

same kids in second grade.

She taught me about famous people math spelling, grammar; science and much more.

Mrs Richie makes leaning fun Sometimes she makes our classroom into a campground We tell stones paint t-shirts and make s mores. We learned how to use a computer She expects us to do our

best and we do wrote Kevin

From a parents point of view Mis Richie is the best says Kevin s mom, Rosemary Cunningham

She is extremely concerned about every child s well being and academic progress She doesn t

hesitate to contact parents, even after hours, on her own time or during summer vacation.

Mrs. Richie wrote a letter to each child about her vacation and asked about their vacation She

salt invitations to the entire class to join her for lunch at McDonald s during summer vacation She has made the learning experience memorial She instills self-confidence and the w ill to achieve excellence Every week, she sends home a summaiy what foe class has accomplished and what w ill

be covered next, wrote Rosemary Cunningham.

Dorothy or Dottie as she s known by her colleagues m South Redford has worked as a teacher ift the district for 20 years Prior to being hired she helped South Redford Schools develop their

preschool program at both Fisher and Vandenberg.

Congratulations to Dorothy Dottie Richie, one of O&E s Outstanding Teachers for October

Kay Renney won’t be caught w ithout

her flu shot Twenty years ago, the

Rochester registered nurse had symp­

toms like fever, headache, body aches,

tiredness, d ry cough, sore th roat, and

nasal congestion from the f lu fo r a week

Since then Renney, who’s manager o f

com m unity programs fo r V is itin g Nurse

Association o f Southeast M ichigan,

makes sure she gets a flu shot every November The V N A Flu-Busters cam­

paign in now in its 11th year o f im m uniz­

ing the com m unity

According to the CDC m the last 30

years, flu outbreaks have occurred m

February b u t sometimes as early as

December“Remember last year s flu vaccine does

not protect you th is year,” said Renney

“People under age 65 are dying from the

flu even though the m a jo rity are 65 and

o lder The new statistic - 36,000 is up

from 20,000 I t ’s a sad statistic when

you consider they could e lim inate th is

w ith a flu shot I w a it t i l l Novem ber

because the flu h is to rica lly is worse in

M ich igan in February I t takes two

weeks to become im m unized once you’ve

had the sho t”

A rs iw a la says statisticsjcould be

increasing due to an agmjg population and more efficient record keeping He

you do get the flu to stay a t home, rest,

wash you r hands, take Tyleno l o r M o trin

unnecessary I f you’re over 65 o r have health problems, see you r doctor

shorten the length o f the illness Its one

drawback is th a t it m ust be started w ith ­

“Last year in M ich igan the flu season

was m ild,” said Renney ‘I ’m wondering

i f people aren’t getting lax in not getting

BEST TREATMENT FOR ARTHRITIS 0FTHE KNEEMore specifically 1 am considering osteoarthniis of the knee

in which Joint cartilage wears away in truth no best treatment

exists

The reason is because for osteoarthntis of the knee how bad it becomes depends on a number of influences What matters is your heredity weight and any past injury to the

knee and if your shoulders back or ankles have arthritis. In addition studies

that attitude and education can influence the pain and Impairment your arthritis

Best treatment begins with trying everything short of medians that is possible That

includes weight loss if appropriate buying the best shoes (not always the most expens ve pairs) and exerase like walking to strengthen your leg muscles

At one time the medical community approved using glucosamine and/or chondrpjtin-

sulfate Newer studies cast doubt on earlier findings and doubts exist over giving

medical support to this supplement The reverse is true on Tylenol Past papers showed that doctors were leaning toward use of non steroid anti inflammatory drugs particularly

the class called COX 2 inhibitors (Celebrex Bextra Vtoxx) Attitude is shtftingjgaiELbaek-

to Tylenol Investigations show no difference in efficacy in any of the non steroidal drugs

many of which are less expensive and have less effects on the heart and blood vessels

than the COX 2 inhibitors

Thus at present your doctor can choose from a variety of approaches tailoring this therapy to your profile

B arg a in s abound in pre-owned 2003 p rog ram veh ic le s

byG Moore Independent ad features

F arm in g to n H ills , M l - A Farmington Hills dealer is selltng 2003 vehicles for one half o f the original manufacturers list price And they’re offering many other 2003 models far below normal market values The 0% financing offered by GM Ford and Daimler Chrysler mesmerized so many buyers tha t fa r fewer shoppers even bothered looking at pre owned 2003 models

How does 0% financing on a new model do in a heads up comparison to a pre-owned 2003 m odel9 In the instance o f the Buick Century financing $21 960 plus tax vs $9995 plus tax the payments on the new car a t 0% interest would be $392 monthly for 60 m onths but on ly $233 monthly at 3 9% for 60 months on the program model With the prime- at a record low todays in te re s t ra te s a re very competitive Many credit unions charge under 6% for auto loans if the applicant has a good credit rating And when purchasing the used 2003 don t forget that you II be saving about an additional $1 000 in sales tax and licensing fees (Taxes estimated a t an average of 6%)

The B ob Sak s Superstore so ld over 150 Buick Centurys in the first 30 daVs of their sale.

A “program’ car is a vehicle th a t has been leased by a premium rental company through a specia l program from the manufacturer Strict maintenance is required, and all vehicles are carefully inspected upon return In many cases these program units receive better maintenance than vehicles owned by private owners

Saks Suick-OldsmobiJe Used Car Superstore in Farmington H ills has iong been known as Michigan’s bargain hunting” dealer Currently they re selling

more 2003 Buick Centurys than any other dealer in the nation (Over 150 Centurys were sold during the first 30 days o f their sa le ) Last year they sold the most pre owned 2002 Chevrolet Lu m in a s and O ld s m o b ile intrigues in the nation from their single location And the year before they set the sales record selling the most off lease GMC Yukons

Todays real bargain can be found at Saks in the pre-owned 2003 vehicles The 0% financing on new 2003 s has left the used m odels unnoticed and over looked So with far fewer dealers purchasing these un its the prices have dropped to record lows

So once again Bob Saks has gone shopping for the vehicles with a huge cart They have just m ade a m ulti m illion do lla r purchase o f these units from

General M otors bring ing in truckload a fte r truckload from across the country in addition to filling their giant used car facility to the brim Bob Saks had to lease additional storage lots to accom m odate th e ir m assive

acquisition of vehicles And they currently s tock the la rges t inventory of 2003 program cars in Michigan

The purpose of 0% financing is to c lea r o u t the rem ain ing new 2003 s In another month or two

these vehicles w ill all be gone along with the incentives In the meantime the 2003 program v e h ic le s a re t ru ly to d a y s sleeping bargain But they II

soo n d is a p p e a r a s sm a rt shoppers begin to ‘wake up and

recognize the rgai deals The Bob Saks Superstore is

located at 35300 Grand River Avenue at Drake Rd Farmington Hills Their used car superstore may be contacted d irectly at(888) 551-6917

A . B u i c kThe 2003 Buick Century was

the highest ranked Premium Midsize Car in J D Powers and Associates 2002 Initial Quality Study This study was based on a total o f over 64 900 consumer responses ind ica ting owner reported problems during the first 90 days of ownership Of those surveyed Buick Century owners reported the fewest problems - An outstanding mark o f exce lle nce fo r sup e rb workmanship and a prelude to the sa tis fac tion ye t to be experienced during the coming years

Equipped with a powerful 175-horsepower V 6 boasting 20mpg city and 29mpg highway fuel economy, this front wheel drive sedan will capture your heart from the moment you slip behind the wheel There won’t be any need for a salesperson to explain how to operate all

the buttons because th is Century w ill g reet you like an old friend or a comfortable pair of s lip p e rs T h e cab in is exceedingly driver friendly with all con tro ls nea tly la id ou t before you like an elegant table setting A nd everything just seems to f it

The Buick Century still retains a trad itional 55/45 split bench seat w ith arm rest and the shift lever on the co lum n ( I t ’s amazing how few cars being produced today o ffe r th is fam iliar yet fast fading option (Does everyone really want the sh ifte r on th e flo o r9) This makes the Century one of the few remaining mid-size vehicles tha t w ill a c tu a lly sea t s ix passengers

The standard features provide evidence tha t the Buick still rem ains ju s t one step down from the Cadillac in G M s lineup

Dual (driver and passenger side) heat and air conditioning controls six position tilt steering wheel cru ise contro l power windows locks and seats remote key fobs operating doors and tru n k re a r w indow defroster plus a stereo system that will blow you away

Children aren t forgotten with the rear seat upper and lower latch system fo r compatible child safety seats and rear door child security locks

Four wheel independent sus­pension p rov ides fo r solid handling and the ride o f a magic carpet

Best of all the new Century requires ju s t a little m ore m a in tenance than a rock garden 100 000 miles between spark plug changes 100 000 m ile tra n s m is s io n service intervals under normal driving conditions Wow

The Bob Saks Superstore is selling pre-owned 2002 Centurys at half their original price.

Its no wonder that Bob Saks o f Farmington H ills considers the pre-owned 2003 Centurys to be the most car they ve ever been able to o ffe r fo r the money And for the past several weeks they ve silently amassed hundreds o f these wonderful u n its from th ro u g h o u t the

country and brought them to Farmington Hills Best o f all today you can purchase a pre­owned 2003 Century program un it from Bob Saks for only $9 99 5 - ha lf o f its orig ina l $21 960 list price new While they last
