Plymouth-Canton wins national titleBY TONY BRUSCATO

STAFF WRITER

Canton High School senior Natalie Witkowski said she and her teammates were on pins and needles as the judges announced the top prizes m the national culinary competition in Orlando, Fla

The four-member Plymouth-Canton high school team won the state competi­tion in March, earning them the chance to compete against 24 other high school culmary squads from around the coun­try for the national title

“The judges read the third-place win­ner, and then the second,” Witkowski said “We weren’t called and we all held hands They then called our names for first, and we jumped up and down and started crying It was an awesome, awe­some feeling

“Our food looked beautiful, but so did a lot of other teams’,” Witkowski added

“What put us ahead was our teamwork We became so close and relied on each other The judges could tell we knew i t”

The Plymouth-Canton team won by preparing a seasonal garden salad, accented by seared yellow-fin tuna and pecan-crusted goat cheese quenelle, a main course of pan-seared duck breast and mushroom-sage ballotme, and fol­lowed by dessert consisting of a choco­late and strawberry-passion fruit mousse

A gourmet meal prepared with the help of only two small butane flame stoves, an ice chest and no electricity

As members of the winning team, Witkowski, Jeff Sartor, Adam Strong and Jeremy Walker each received $20,000 m college scholarships Team alternate Sara Nickell didn’t earn a scholarship, but did receive a medal for her participation

Township eyes

Local elections officials aren’t too happy about it, but Plymouth Township will be among those communities getting new optical scanning devices for elections by 2006

Michigan Secretary of State Ifern I ynn Land said Thursday the state has placed its initial order for vot­ing machines to replace paper ballots, punchcards and lever-operated machines

That includes the touch-screen devices currently used m Plymouth Township The city of Plymouth alreadj uses optical scanners

I think it s bad for our residents, because they know the touch-screen machines and they trust them,” Plymouth Township Clerk Marilyn Massengill said ‘But it’s mandatory, so there’s no sense fighting it ”

Land said state and federal money would be avail­able, but Massengill said that’s just foi one machine per precinct Additional machines would have to be paid for by the township, she said

The other problem, according to Massengill, is the training that will be involved She said most of her precinct workers are older and already have enough on their plates

‘ It’s a nightmare thinking about having to retrain those precinct workers,” Massengill said “They forget these are largely older people working these precincts, and just keep adding more and more to them Sometime I haw trouble keeping up I don’t know how they expect people who work with it so infrequently to do it

City ballots currently have voters connecting arrows to cast their ballots According to City Clerk Linda Langmesser, the state hasn t yet decided whether it will use that system, or one where the voter colors m owls, which would necessitate a change m die city

A letter from Wayne County Clerk Cathy Garrett indicates the county will delay any purchase of voting equipment until 2005

“The decision was motivated by a desire to act in the best interest of all Wayne County communities and to assure, as much as possible, that the 2004 election cycle proceed with minimum disruptions,” Garrett wrote in the letter, sent to municipal clerks in the countybkadnch@oe homecomm net | (734) 459 2700

Plymouth-Canton Schools will soend $50,000 m federal and state grant money to enhance the capa­bilities of school building admimstratoi s to respond to a terrorist incident, or one involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or explosive weapons

The money will be used to hire Patriot Services Corporation of Clawson to perform a needs assess­ment of each school building, then develop practical applications m case of an emergency

“They will go to each building and perform an m- depth needs assessment to analyze such things as our building locks, fire escapes, everything related to

safety,” said Bob Hayes, director of student services for Plymouth-Canton Schools

Ha\es said part of the assessment will include table-top exercises to plan foi emergency situations

Let’s say a tanker truck rolls over on Main Street,” Hayes said “That would involve Smith, Allen and Hu! smg elementary schools A rollover on 1-275 could involve Fiegel, Allen, Field or Eriksson

“In that perimeter, what do we do? What are the procedures for notifying parents’ Evacuating kids? What are the evacuation sites’” Hayes said “We already have a Code Red drill for emergency situa­tions But the state police, through Homeland Security, is taking it a step further with CB-RNE ”

Hayes said Patriot Services was selected because of its expertise m handling CBRNE situations

Class size , learning priorities in form er principal's board runBY TONY BRUSCATO

STAFF WRITER

Former Huismg Elementary Pnncmal Becky Moore wrote as part of her doctoral pro­gram that someday she wanted to become a school board member

After being encouraged by several people because of her ‘educational background, experience and calm decision- making” demeanor, Moore decided to toss her hat into the ring for one of two Board of Education seats up for grabs m the June 14 election

‘ I know it’s going to be chal­lenging, with the tough deci-

1 \

sions to bemade,” said Moore “But, I enjoy respon­sibility and doing the best I can in different situa tions

‘WeBecky Mooreare in the mode of cutting, which isn’t a pleasant thing to do,” she said ‘But, I think I

can help look at all sides and keep the cats as far away as possible from children

Moore said her first priority, if elected, would be to keep the focus on teaching and learn­ing

I m talking about protecting the classes and the programs we have now, said Moore “The classroom is the heart of the district

Second on Moore s list is sal­vaging co-curncular activities

Research shows us children succeed more if they partici­pate in co-cumcular activities, she said ‘I think people in our community want those activi­ties ’

Moore said she’d like to see the district develop a long- range plan for class size

“When I recently asked about a long-range plan, they said they didn’t have one,” Moore said W ith a long- range plan we can keep class size down

While many are having a hard time seeing the light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to state funding cuts, Moore remains optimistic the ship will right itself

“Its the state’s obligation to fund public schools, and I think at some point it’s going to get bad enough that they’ll look at restructuring, she said

Moore said she favors the cur­rent board’s decision to seek voter approval for a $ 1 0 7 mil­lion bond issue to repair and renovate school buildings, con­struct a new elementary school m Canton, and spend $1 mil­lion for emergency repairs at Central Middle School

As for the future of Central, Moore said she’d like to study the issue more

“I admire that building, it has lots of character,’ she said But, I want to know that if we

put money into it, will it go 10- 15 years and be a quality build­ing I don’t have an answer because I don t have enough information

But, I do believe we need a new m iddle school in Canton, because th a t’s where th e chil­dren are, she said

W hile M oore believes Plym outh-Canton is a solid school district, she does see at least tw o areas for im prove­m ent

“The reading scores are flat across th e board, and I know they are try ing to address th a t,’ she said

“And, we ve no t fo u n d a way to m ake every stakeholder feel valued,’M oore said ‘People feel they aren’t being listened to We need to have open, honest com m unication and look a t all sides ” ~

Fundamental fun at FiegelR e a d i n g n i g h t a c h a n c e

f o r f a m i l i e s t o b o n dThey say reading is funda­

mental, and at Fiegel Elementary School last week more than 150 people turned out m agreement

Fiegel hosted Family Reading Night Feed Your Mind-and Body, was designed to celebrate the joy of reading

“It provided children and their families the opportunity to do something they rarely get a chance to do - sit and read together without interrup­tions,’ said Fiegel principal Jim Johnson

The event began with fami­lies eating a free meal together in the .cafeteria After dinner, families went to one of the building s commons areas to read

How participants chose to read was up to them For some

families, each member had her or his own books and read them silently Others chose to share their books out loud to siblings or parents

“There were no phones to answer and no dishes to clean, Johnson said It was truly a unique family time

The evening concluded wi£h a performance by noted story­teller La’Ron Williams that relied heavily on audience par­ticipation It was fun for the children to see their moms, dads, and classmates up in front of the audience More than 25 books, donated by local booksellers and the Scholastic company, were given away following the story­teller

It was a night to celebrate both reading and family,”

Latisha Thomas and her daughters (from le ft) KaLaya Kaia and Kamryn Sharp, enjoy a hook during Fiegel Elementary s Family Reading Night

Johnson said It was also a night that highlighted the importance of a strong part­nership between school and family”

The event was organized by

Fiegel Learning Specialist Bob Pennock and was staffed by Fiegel staff The Fiegel PTO provided financial support

Mel Bobcean, who along with his wife, Nancy, is a huge sports fan, fills the waiting area of his Forest barber shop with sports memorabilia

B A R B ERFROM PAGE A1

and now they’re married and they bring their kids to me ”

It’s not necessarily the career he imagined for himself when he got out of the Army in the late 1940s He’d traveled with the Army’s special services unit, playing baseball and basketball He got into the habit of cutting hair for the guys he played ball with and found he liked it

His neighbor in Mount Clemens happened to be secre­tary of the barber board She suggested he give it a try and, working mostly construction, figured it was worth a shot

He graduated from a Detroit barber college and came to work for Owen Reed m Plymouth He moved to his current location on Forest Avenue m 1970 and he’s been there ever since After seeing an ad in the paper, Bobcean checked out the town and decided it was to his liking I In addition to the business location, Plymouth had easy access to hospitals, a necessary benefit because Bobcean’s wife, Nancy, has multiple sclerosis

‘ I never thought of going anywhere else,” Bobcean said

Mel’s Golden Razor nurtures an old-fashioned atmosphere Bobcean even has a list of his granddaughters posted on the wall, just m case customers need a baby sitter

Bobcean knows enough about his customers to consider

He moved to his current loca­tion on Forest Avenue in 1970 and he's been there ever since.

them family, and vice versa “I got to know the families

quite well, ’ he said “They all know about my wife, so they’re always asking me about her They’re all really nice people ”

The family atmosphere is one customers find satisfying

“They’re nice people here, and they have fast service, said Dick Sienkiewicz, a customer at

Mel’s for 12 years ‘You don’t wait here and they do good work If I can’t get an appoint­ment, I just wait”

Things haven’t changed much in 45 years Bobcean said when he started, he was doing “a lot of flat-tops and Pnncetons ” In the 1960s and ’70s, long hair became fashion­able Now, he’s right back to doing a lot of flat-tops

In addition to his profession­al gig, Bobcean is also a fixture when it comes to helping out around the community His favonte is collecting toys for kids, something he does every year He also helps with Easter baskets

“I really look forward to doing that,” he said ‘I get enjoyment out of that ”bkadrichfoe homecomm net | (734) 459 2700

For Witkowski, the scholar­ship gives her an opportunity to enroll at the Culinary Institute of America m Hyde Park, N Y, the top culinary arts school m the country

“I’m just thrilled and excited to go and have a wonderful opportunity,” she said I was thinking about going there or Schoolcraft (College in Livonia), but I can’t pass up this opportunity only an hour away from New York City’

Representatives from the Institute, as well as one from Johnson and Wales, another well-respected culinary arts school, will talk with students this week about their programs

Carey Gary, who teaches culi­nary arts at the high school park with Diana Riley and paraprofessional Mary Brackney, said it came down to practice making perfect for the winning team They were judged on safe and sanitary food handling procedures, cre­ative ingredients and artful presentation, as well as efficien­cy, organization and teamwork in the kitchen

“They practice three or four times a week to get prepared ” she said “Sometimes the judges can be so brutal, but this time they were very complimentary because they had a hard time coming up with suggestions on how the team could improve ’ tbruscatofoe fiomecomm net | (734) 459 2700

Students of Centra! City Dance Center have practiced since September for performances during the Canton Relay for Life May 15 in Heritage Park

BY JOANNE MALISZEWSKISTAFF WRITER

More than 100 students will dance their way through the 6th Annual Canton Relay for Life May 15-16 and help raise money for the American Cancer Society

“This gives the children a purpose to perform,” said Tim Smola, who with his wife, Tamara, owns the Central City Dance Center on Canton Center Road

One hundred sixty-six stu­dents will dance their hearts out in four performances fea­turing jazz, hip hop, tap and Hawanan-style ‘ Each show has a variety,” Smola said

“The kids are really excited This will be our biggest per­formance to date,” Smola said “They have been working so hard Some of the children will perform for their moms, who are survivors”

Of the dancers, 20 are relay team members and are collect­ing donations to help the can­cer society In the first year, the dance center raised $500, in its second year m the relay, the kids raised $700 and already, the students have raised $1,700 and they are not done yet The center’s goal is $2,000 this year

Smola is forever thankful to PartyMax who generously donated a snow cone machine, an 18-person tram ride, cow milking contest, and a 24-foot slide for the dance center’s effort at the relay

Michelle Mamkowski, a Salem 10th grader and dance student, has collected $575 so far and is looking forward to the relay

“I spend the whole 24 hours there with all my fnends,” said Michelle, who will dance hip hop for the relay

Michelle’s mom has helped

with the fund raising, asking work colleagues for help She tells of one of her mom’s co ­workers whose wife has cancer “He thanks me every time I see him”

Michelle first got involved m the relay when she had to per­form community service while in the eighth grade “I did it and I liked it ’

Three of Dawn Shrader’s children - Joseph, Emily and Chelsea - will dance in the relay The event hits home for the Shrader family Dawn last October underwent a bilateral mastectomy and is doing fine

We are collecting as a fami­ly,’ said Dawn, who works at Oakwood Hospital and has asked for help from colleagues “They have been very gener­ous’

Laura Jones, a Canton High School student, considers the Relay for Life a great cause “There has been many lives

lost to cancer in my family I also have a friend whose father has cancer ’

Laura is asking family and friends for Small donations, and will do a bottle drive in her neighborhood, as well So many people lose their lives to cancer My biology teacher actually told our class once that if a person lives long enough, that there is a very good chance that they would eventually get some sort of cancer If you think of how many lives that is, it s really hard to imagine ”

Smola and his wife wanted to get involved m the commu­nity and the relay seemed fit­ting “Both grandfathers died of cancer So we wanted to get involved within the communi­ty with something more mean­ingful ’

The Smolas, who taught at Eastern Michigan University, actually were involved in the

relay before they opened the dance center

This is sure to be the biggest Relay that Central City Dance Center has been a part of We are going all out this year’ Smola added

Helen Thomas asked tough For National Bike Month, pedal questions in search of truth your way to fitness, clean air

Ja c kLessenberry

H elen Thomas, the most famous newswoman in America, won’t be happy with something Planned Parenthood of Michigan says about

her m the press release promoting a fund-raising speech she’s giving Wednesday m Troy

They call her a “former Detroit resident ” That’s not what she calls herself “Whenever I run into someone who asks where’s your home, I say Detroit,” she said over lunch in Washington last fall “Even though I came to Washington on what I said was a trip in 1943 and still haven’t got around to coming home ”

But to most of the nation, her home is the White House, where she has been covering presi­dents and presidential press conferences since

John F Kennedy For most of that time, she worked for the once-great wire service UPI In the early years, she always wore red, thinking that would make her stand out, and catch the president’s eye Later, when she became the senior wire service reporter, she was always given the right to ask the first ques­tion

That changed with George W Bush, after she asked him aA couple of questions he had diffi­

culty answering early in his term “They no longer call on me anymore, but

that’s all right,” she chuckled “There are lots of good journalists who can ask the right ques­tions W hat’s important is that they get the chance to ask them No president has had fewer press conferences than this one, and that’s a shame ”

But she still shows up Four years ago, when UPI was sold to the News World Communications, a company founded by the Rev Sun Myung Moon, she decided she could no longer work for UPI She thought her career was over, but to her surprise and delight, Hearst News Service offered her the chance to write a twice-weekly column She’s still at it, but why not9 She won’t be 84 ’til August

“Writing a column has taken some getting used to,” she confided in me For decades, her job was just the facts, ma’am — quizzing the presidents without fear or favor, and reporting via the wires what they had to say

Her skill at getting nght down to the question they wanted to evade was legendary She wasn’t supposed to give her opinion, and that was fine with her

“I still really believe that when people are given the basic facts they don’t need my opinion, really,” she said “I still think that journalism is best when it’s giving the straight story People will never know how difficult it is to get the straight story, to get the facts There’s so much secrecy

endemic in government, in business, in every­thing ”

She should know She was there for Watergate, Iran-Contra, Whitewater and a million lesser scandals Martha Mitchell, the ditzy wife of Richard Nixon’s attorney general, would confide m her in the dead of night

Now, however, she is supposed to give her opinion — and she has become more controver­sial than ever She has been highly critical of the war, of President Bush’s fitness for the job, of this entire administration Her disdain is shared When all the living ex-presidents were asked to be honorary co-chairs of an annual Helen Thomas scholarship event, they (and Nancy Reagan) eagerly agreed President Bush declined

But she shrugs and grins “We aren’t here to be loved, you know”

Once, Fidel Castro told USA Today founder A1 Neuharth that the difference between his government and ours was “that I don’t have to be questioned by Helen Thomas ” That made her proud

“All leaders should be questioned by every­body,” she said stoutly She doesn’t feel the U S press has been adequately critical of the govern­ment since Sept 11 “We’ve just rolled over and played dead,” she said “Who will ask the ques­tions if we don’t9”

These days, she is happy to say that yes, she is a liberal “Absolutely1 In spades* Am I supposed to be ashamed for canng about people, for earing what happens to our country? For canng whether the sick and maimed are taken care of?”

But she said that she has always pressed every president, regardless of party, to be more open with the Amencan people “There is too much secrecy, always has been, though now it is worse than ever”

Whatever you think of her, nobody has seen as much of the Amencan presidency She’ll share some of her best stones and a few of her opinions over lunch at Troy’s Northfield Hilton at noon Wednesday, for those able to donate $75 to Planned Parenthood She’ll also take questions, and answer all of them except the big one

“Retire9 Me? I hope not* I want to die with my boots on1” she said What keeps her going? “I’m self-propelled I care about the news” Bioethics aside, I can’t help think that it would be darned good for journalism if somehow, Helen could be cloned

G asoline prices are creeping (speeding?) toward $2 a gallon The Environmental Protection Agency has announced that 25

Michigan counties (including Wayne and Oakland) do not meet new standards for ground- level ozone Even small automobiles cost more than the first house I bought back m the 1970s Metro Detroit has claimed the title of America’s fattest (not phattest) city from Houston.

These are just some of the reasons to cele­brate May as National Bike Month

When I was a kid, bicycles were for chil­dren Adults rarely ventured out on bicycles and when they did it was only to revive a pleasant memory on junior’s bike

In the 1970s, America expenenced a bicycle boom Bike riding became accept­able for adults, even cool Though it has never threat­ened golf as an adult sport and bike sales have waxed and waned, bicycling has continued to be a popular activity for adults The

Hugh introduction of the stronger I Gallagher mountain bikes made itI'..possible for puncture-shy

men and women to take to highways and dirt paths alike

But National Bike Week isn’t just about the recreational benefits of ndmg a bicycle It is also about promoting the nonpollutmg, less invasive bicycle as an alternative to the automobile

That’s where Bike-to-Work Week, May 17- 21, and Bike-to-Work Day, May 21, come into the picture Instead of throwing the briefcase in the back of your SUV, the League of Amencan Bicyclists wants as many Amencans as possible to throw their papers into a bike pack and pedal to work or school

It’s difficult m Detroit This is a metro area that has sprawled in every direction but up Most people live a considerable distance from work Unlike other urban areas, we do not have a good mass transit system or a single, central business distnct

A few intrepid cyclists do anse early every day —winter, spnng, summer, fall — and nde their bikes to work The rest of us can only envy their fitness and dedication

Still the idea is good and makes us consider how separate our work lives and home lives have become At one time, riding a bike to work would have been easy for most people In much of the world, it still is

The bicycle was not designed to be a toy, but to be a utilitarian vehicle The simple princi­ples of balance and gearing combined to make the bicycle one of the most perfect inventions In fact, the bicycle preceded the automobile

and inspired its invention and the invention of the airplane (by two bike mechanics)

In recent years, the bicycle has become stronger, more finely geared, more comfort­able for non-enthusiasts There are bicycles for every ability and need Gearing makes it easy for everyone to move a bicycle, especially on the flat roadways of Wayne County or the gently rolling hills of Oakland County

Like many young adults, I gave up bicycling m my early 20s. Over the years I kept coming back to cycling, but not as an athlete out to challenge Lance Armstrong (or even the local bicycle dub)I found the time I spent on a bicyde provided the right combination of physical activity, scenic viewing and quiet contemplation

I now nde a recumbent Recumbents are pedaled horizontally with a back support I did it because of a back problem, but I keep getting kids coming up to say what a “cool” bike I have I guess it has that low-nder, ‘ gangsta” look.

Whatever look you adopt — sleek Tbur de (i France racer, dassic cruiser, dirt bike gnnder, suited commuter — the bicyde offers benefits for you and for the community at large

Riding a bicyde is a good cardiovascular work­out without being limited to a recreation center or a short walk around the block (and less dam­aging to knees than running) Bicycling is a good destresser, especially when you get away from heavy traffic areas Except for a drop of lubncant, bicydes consume little of our dwindling oil sup­ply The fuel is provided by leg power

Every summer, Wayne County doses a sec­tion of Edward Hines Drive to automobiles This is a perfect way to get into die biking habit When I started ndmg again, I began with short t tnps along Hmes Dnve, until one day I had »pedaled from Dearborn to Northville and back. » It felt good and I’ve been ndmg ever since *

Another good nde away from auto traffic is * the bikeway that connects Lower Huron, * Willow and Oakwoods Metroparks You might have to slalom around a walker or inline skater, but the park setting is worth it

Once you’ve gotten your bike legs, you can explore Michigan’s wonderful Rails-to-IYails system, from the nearby Paint Creek Trail connecting Rochester to Lake Onon to the creme de la creme Pere Marquette paved trail from Midland to Clare

And, if you can, leave your car in the garage and bicyde to work If it feels good for one week, maybe you can do it another week and then another until it becomes a habit (at least until the snow falls)

Globe trottingChef, adventurer, author and survivor tells his culinary story

BY JOANNE MALISZEWSKISTAFF WRITER

As a youth, his life was tennis‘ Then I discovered girls and

realized girls cost money, so I had to get a job,” chef Keith Famie said

Off to a Chinese restaurant he went and along the way discov­ered a career “I was always a bad student, but I was fascinat­ed with the cooking thing,” he said

And for Famie the rest is his­tory Famie spoke May 4 to guests at the annual Observer Eccentric Newspapers and Fnends of the Libraries Author Luncheon The event was host­ed by die Fnends of the Plymouth, Canton, Northville and Noviiibranes

While recently publishing his second cookbook, You Realty Haven't Been There Until You’ve Eaten the Food, Famie told about his adventures on

Survivor H The Australian Outback

When he arrived for the finals m Los Angeles, he was told that the game was officially under way “It doesn’t feel \ihe a game when you’re playing it,” Famie said

The real game was being dropped into the middle of nowhere and being forced to create a micro society with other people whose profiles were chosen so they wouldn’t get along “It was an amazing experience,” he said

Without food or water, the participants were forced to cre­ate team unity The humorous side of his experience came when he was asked to make nee and it didn’t turn out — an event that was reported in The New York Times Food section

“You go in as a person and come out as a cast member,” Famie said

Recognition is what Survivor

“Every culture has something unique about it,” said Famie, the Chef de Cuisine at Chez Raphael in the 1980s and who later opened his own restau­rant, Les Auteur an American Bistro, in Royal Oak He was also named Chef of the Year a couple of times Famie showed clips of his adventure show and the vanous foods he encoun­tered, such as an egg that was buried m the dirt — an appar­ent delicacy — m Vietnam

“It tasted like ammonia,’ Famie said

That chef who gave Famie the black egg to eat also talked about a particular meat, which Famie thought was duck Finally, the chef corrected him “No, not duck, quack, quack Dog, woof, woof ’

In China, he visited a restau­rant called Snake Island filled with aquariums of snakes — your choice for dinner While filming as he held a python, the snake bit him A language barri­er prevented him from getting a straight answer pronto on whether the snake was poison­ous It wasn’t But Famie had his own style of justice — a python dinner

The Survivor notoriety has allowed Famie to draw atten­tion to charitable causes He is a

longest day of his life, but m the process Famie met youngster Adam Rqse ‘It was the most emotional thing to see my kids pushing him (Adam),” he said. The West Bloomfield resident is father to two children, Joshua and Alicia

The final match of the day in the seven- game event will be between Ypsilanti Lincoln and Grand Haven at 3 30 p m

Of the teams featured, the only division loss Plymouth/Canton has suffered has been to Mattawan

On a play at the plate, Franklin catcher Lisa Garbutt (left) tagged out Canton's Rachel Wade The Chiefs got the better of it, however, beating the Patriots 3-0

Canton tames FranklinTo any rational mind, pitching

four-straight shutouts would seem extremely impressive

But one couldn’t help but think there was a slight bit of disappoint­ment surrounding Molly Conlon’s performance against Livonia Franklin Thursday in Canton’s 3-0 victory

Very slightYes, it was her fourth shutout in a

row Yes, it gave the Chiefs a 3-1 record in the Western Lakes Activities Association’s Western Division, they are 9-5-1 overall Franklin slipped to 7-8 overall, 0-4 in the WLAA’s Western Division

But one must realize, Conlon wasn’t quite as overpowering as she had been in her previous three games After all, this time out she surrendered a hit

After tossing three-consecutive no-hitters, one of them a perfect game, Conlon’s streak was broken by Franklin’s Ashley Bohsall, who doubled with one out in the sixth inning It was the only hit Conlon

allowed, she did not walk a batter and struck out eight

She had not allowed a hit in the last 24 innings prior to Bonsall’s double

Franklins Amanda Morrill was also impressive, she gave up just four hits in taking the loss, with three walks, a hit batter and four strikeouts

The Chiefs scored all of their runs in the fourth, two of them coming home on Stephanie Sadek’s single and the third on a base hit by Erica Perkovich

On Wednesday, Conlon gained her third-straight no-hitter by blanking Wayne Memorial 11-0 m a five-innmg mercy

Conlon faced just 17 batters, she did not walk a hitter and struck out 15

Lauren Delapaz led the 12-hit Canton attack with three hits, including two doubles, with one RBI Brittany Scero, Kelly Baker and Conlon each contributed two hits and a run batted in

Crusaders laudedGet to the top and the

honors are bound to come your way

Madonna University's' softball team finished first in the Wolverine- Hoosier Athletic Conference, one pretty good reason why the Crusaders put three play­ers on the all-WHAC team and their coach, Af White, was named the coach of the year

Singled out for honors were senior shortstop Emiiy Cunningham, sen­ior catcher Ann Fowler and junior pitcher Kelly Nilson t

Cunningham led ;Madonna in hitting w ith a 365 batting average, in hits with 66 and in runsb scored with 39 She totaled 10 doubles, two triples and a home run with 30 runs batted in

Fowler hit 281 with two doubles, two tripies, 25 RBI and 33 runs scored She led the Crusaders with six stolen bases (in six attempts) and had just four errors (a 983 fielding average) in 51 games Nilson was Madonna's ace through­out the season, posting a- 20 9 won-loss record with a 2 80 earned run average She also had one save In her 183l/s innings pitched, she allowed 69 runs (57 earned) on 166 hits and 38 walks, striking out 135 Opponents batted 237 against her Under White's guidance, Madonna finished 35-14t overall, 17-7 in the confet- ence Others who were * singled out for honors were third baseman h Kathy Day, a Livonia O Ladywood graduate, who received honorable me§“ tion all-conference honjf ors, and juniors Day, * Mary Warchuck and lKrystal Shina (from **-Farmington Mercy) for ail-academic all-confer­ence accolades Day posted a 3 44 grade- point average with a major in education/math- ematics, Warchuck had a 3 32 GPA, and Shina recorded a 3 61 GPA with a major m accounting

|hat s the hottest game m ’town’ That’s easy, the Detroit Tigers, of course

Most bowlers are baseball fans and we haven t had much to cheer about for a long time

Right now, through the Greater Detroit Bowling Association, you can obtain a voucher for box seat tickets on certain dates at Comenca Park

for half-off the regular price for up to six upper deck box seat tickets

All games are on Thursdays, mostly day games with a 1 05 pm start

There is one game at 7 05 pm The valid dates

include May 13 vs Oakland A’s, June 3 vs Kansas City Royals, June 10 vs Atlanta Braves, July 1 vs Cleveland Indians, July 22 vs Royals, July 29 vs Chicago White Sox (night game), Aug 5 vs Texas Rangers and Sept 9 vs the Royals

This is all a part of a joint promotion called “League Bowler Appreciation Days" by the GDBA and the Bowling Centers Association of Southeastern Michigan with the cooperation of the Detroit Baseball Club

Vouchers are available on the counters at all participating bowling centers

Go bowling and ‘GO TIGERS”

■ Some record scores are made to be broken, some records cannot be broken It happened a few weeks ago at Mem Bowl Lanes m Livonia

during the Mem Bowl Ladies Doubles League, as Michelle Sterbeng of Brownstown Township and her doubles partner Debbie Hanson of Dearborn Heights each bowled a 300 during the second game of the series

The previous high score for a woman’s doubles team was 59 8

The 600 score is not beat­able and will be the top score nationally even though another pair could possibly match it

This was not a fluke, as both Michelle and Debbie rank right up there with the best women bowlers as indicated by their senes that night —Debbie rolled 256-300-218 (774), while Michelle had 184- 300-289 (773 senes)

The total o f1,547 almost met the nation’s record high senes of 1,561 but still good for sec­ond place Topping it all off, this team also won the league championship for 2003-04

The n$xt day, as Michelle went to her job, she logged on to bowl com and soon realized they had established a set a new Womens International Bowling Congress record

They also received a hand­written letter from the ball manufacturer, Mo-Rich, con­gratulating them

Debbie averages 209, while Michelle cames 227, averages close to the national record for a women’s league bowler (234)

She has a chance to break into second place m that cate­gory as the second high is cur­rently 225

Both of their 300 rings were presented last Monday night at M em Bowl Lanes by Lucille Niemi, the Detroit Women’s Bowling Association house representative for Mern Bowl

Debbie’s mom, Sue McBrayer, was on hand to enjoy the nng presentation

Sue is an all-star bowler herself and says she taught her every­thing she knows, about bowl­ing, that is

Not to be out-done, Cheryl Krause of Livonia, also m the same league, had her very first 300 game two weeks later She had games of 205-300-164 (669 senes) Many bowlers would get nervous or choke up on that 12th ball, but not Cheryl

She merely lit up a cigarette, took a couple of puffs, then calmly rolled that last stnke (not recommended by this wnter or the Amencan Medical Association)

Pnor to going bowling, Cheryl went to visit her dad, Jerry, who was m the hospital

She told him “Dad, I’ll bowl a 300 game for you tonight ”

The rest is history Cheryl had also just bought a

new ball, the Columbia 300 Wicked All she ever used was Columbia equipment, and it really paid off with a perfect game along with fulfilling a prophesy to her dad

■ Fourteen-year-old Andy Jones of Livonia just got more bragging nghts with his second 300 game this year during the Saturday High School League at Country Lanes m Farmington Hills

He also won the Sunday Youth Classic scholarship tour­nament with a 721 score, including a 278 game

Jones is following in the footsteps of older brother,Scott, who is knocking them down at a little higher level

Both boys were raised m a bowling environment with dad Keith and mom, Pam - both fine bowlers themselves Al Harrison is a resident of Livonia and a director of the Greater Detroit Bowling Association He can be reached at (248) 4771839 or e mail at tenpinalleyilsbcglobal net

‘Bridget used the rise, the drop and the curve (ball),” Churchill coach Came Koncan said “I used to call the pitches

when she was a freshman and ihe start of this season, but she s pretty smart and a good athlete so I’ve given her free reign to call her own And since then she’s just taken over”

Churchill scored the game- winning run in the second when Danelle Maxwell singled, advanced to second on a field­er’s choice and scored when Ashli Wesley’s grounder to short was misplayed into an error’

B r o th e r R ic e 3 - 2 , C C 2 -1 :When Birmingham Brother Rice first met Redford Catholic Central this season, the Wamors just routed the Shamrocks

When they met again m a doubleheader on Wednesday, the means had changed drasti­cally, but the end result hadn’t as Rice nipped CC twice — 3-2 in the opener and 2-1 in nine innings m the nightcap

“After they beat us pretty good the first time at our place, we set a goal to get where they were by the end of the season,” said CC coach John Salter after his team lost 12-5 and 10-4 in their first meeting this season “Weve improved a lot m the last two weeks to get here ”

The problem came as the Shamrocks had trouble closing the door In both games, the Warriors (21-2,14-0 Central Division) won m their last at- bat In the second game, CC (12- 7,7-5 Central) was an out away from winning m the seventh before Rice tied the score

The opener went into the sev­enth innmg tied at 2-2 when CC pitcher Bob Henderson hit Doug Pickens with a pitch Pickens then stole second, took third on a passed ball and - after CC intentionally loaded the bases to set up a force play - scored on

going 2-for-3, while Ryan Gallagher was 2-for-4 and Drew Amble had an RBI

Nolen also added a double m the game, while LeMahieu was3-for-5 Erie Simcox went 3-for- 3 with a double, triple and homer for the Shamrocks as well as scoring the team’s only run Erie Jojtkofsky was 2-for-4 with a double while Gallagher and Derek Brooks had the only other hits

' I l o v e y o u '

emg afflicted with some sort of repressive gene in my brain that shrouds

most of my childhood memo­ries m a haze, I don’t remem­ber much about my mother from my younger days

Most of the memories I have are from my teen years and later By then, Mom was­n’t around a whole lot, locked into a life where she strug­gled with two jobs and rela­tionships that ultimately did­n’t do her a whole lot of good

Stall, she was my Mom. I loved her and never doubted she loved me People have their own way of showing love and you have to make allowances for that

That lesson is clearer to me now — as I struggle to make sure my children know how much I love them — than it was before Mom died in November 1986

After she and Dad divorced, Mom worked mul­tiple jobs My grandmother lived with us, which didn’t work out too well for us, because it meant eating things like brussel sprouts and liver But we had a dog, so it wasn’t too bad At least the dog ate well

I remember Mom doing the laundry, going so far as ironing sheets, pillow cases and T-shirts She didn’t do much of the cooking, because her lack of skill was leg­endary She wisely left that to Grandma and, later, to our stepfather

Our relationship improved as I grew, particularly when I joined the Air Force, a move of which she was very proud She cried when I left for Turkey, cried harder when I got back safely I was a news­paper editor then, too, so I was never quite sure what danger she thought I’d face, but she was happy when I got home just the same

She gave me a telephone credit card when I first joined the service so I could keep m touch The first month, my part of the bill was $300, and Mom greeted me at the door with a ream of paper, a box of pens and a book of stamps

Her first three grandchil­dren were girls, and she lamented her sons’ inability to create, well, sons Finally, she got her grandson, my eld­est son Matthew, born in October 1986 We lived m Myrtle Beach, S C , then, and had plans to show him off for Christmas that year

But the call came late one November night Mom was m the hospital, and she was­n’t coming out The Red Cross couldn’t pull strings fast enough to get me home, so I wasn t there when she died I was 26 then, too young to lose my mother There hasn’t been one night in 18 years when I haven’t thought about her, haven’t wished I could have her back

I drive past the cemetery where she’s buried at least twice a week, silently blowing a kiss only my wife under­stands, emotionally cradled in the warmth of the rela­tionship we rescued m the years before she died

You frequently hear people who are frustrated because their mothers are a bit of a nag Every time I hear that, I think, “There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to get one more day with my mom ’

The best way to learn how good something is is to lose it It’s something to think about today, the 18th straight Mother’s Day without mine

I’m sure Mom reads my column on AOL for Angels, so I’ll say what you should say, no matter your relation­ship

Happy Mother’s Day

EDITORIAL INTERN

Relying upon children to clean their rooms can sometimes be difficult for parents Even asking a 10-year old to walk the dog can be a challenge

But when Fnends of the Rouge asked local schools to help monitor the quali­ty of the Rouge River, students jumped at the opportunity

Just over 5,000 students from nearly* 90 schools in metro Detroit participat­ed in die Rouge Educational Project on Wednesday, May 5 Classes left schools and headed out to spend a few hours on the river, performing various tests to deteqnme just how healthy the Rouge is

Students collected water samples, searched for bugs and other critters in the mud, and they measured how wide and fast the nver is

They recorded all of their observa­tions and data, and over the next few weeks will be submitting their results, or Q-Value (a numerical figure which represents the quality of a body of water), to the Fnends of the Rouge, which will send the data to the state of Michigan for annual documentation

FAMILY EVENT

Livonia Franklin students (left to right) Meaghan Brownlee, 14, Alex Asato, 16, and Jessica Funk, 14, look through some sludge from the bottom of the Rouge The Franklin High students were at Plymouth Township Park

Erin Darichuk a volunteer Friend of the Rouge from Canton, talks with Churchill student Amir Bannoura, 17, from a bridge over the Rouge

Cmdy Molnar volunteered to help her 9'~year old son, Austin, and classmates from Canton’s Tonda Elementary test on JHines Drive, just west of Haggerty

"The Rouge River is an important water system m this area,” she said, explaining why she was helping out

Westland’s Edison Elementary School fourth-grader Holly Sutherland’s moth­er, Julie, took a leap straight into the nver, in waders, to help the students discover the types of cntters that live there

“I just hope that the kids learn that they need to keep everything clean,” ' Julie Sutherland said “When I was lit­tle, everyone thought it (the Rouge) was gross, but now, we’re learning that there are things living in it, things we need to protect”

Power Middle School in Farmington has a bit of the Rouge in its front yard This is exactly where science teachers Eric Hammar and Michael Theisen took some of their students to point out just what exactly is in their own yards at home /

“If you don’t have the little creatures, you’re not going to have the big ones,” Hammar told his students, who accord­ing to Theisen, are “willing to expand their knowledge by using science m

Sean Saba, 14, a student at Franklin High m Livonia, takes samples out of the water

everyday situations ”Besides digging around for bugs, stu­

dents performed tests on the nver water to see how safe and healthy it is They tested for a pH level, oxygen level, tem­perature, turbidity (or danty/cloudi- ness), phosphates, nitrates and fecal coliform

Redford’s Pierce Middle School chooses volunteers who demonstrate strong leadership to help classmates conduct the tests

Kelley Kiefer, a 12-year-old student m Jill Davison’s sixth-grade science class, is working hard to understand the importance of testing the water in the Rouge

“People need to know the quality of the nver so they don t dnnk out of it or swim in it unless they know it’s safe,” she said “And we need to know what’s wrong with it to make it better”

WANTING TO HELP

Eleven-year old classmate Pamela Yaacoub agreed completely with Kiefer “Most people only care about them­selves, they don’t care much about the

environment But when they learn a bit about the Rouge River and its prob­lems, they want to help,’ she said

When Livonia Churchill High School

ecology teacher Micki Czach told her husband that she and her colleague Shanan Wheeler were taking three classes of students to the Rouge, he walked straight up to his boss at Ford Motor Co and said that he would use a personal day if necessary, but he was going to help the community

Ford asks that their employees spend two days a year helping within the com­munity and local charities On May 5, 5 several environmental engineers hit the water with Czach and her students

“I wouldn t mmd learning along with the students, said Mark Fishwick, an inventory manager at Ford and a first­time helper with the Rouge project “I’m here because I care about the environ­m ent’

His colleague, Jeannette Poploskie, also was excited to help out This is a good opportunity to help the communi­ty and to get students out to learn a bit more about the environment and its importance, she said

According to Czach, If you can understand something small and at a local level, you can start to think global­ly”

Life Sciences O rchestra draw s together University of Michigan fam ily

Dr Steven Ewer rehearses for a concert with the Life Sciences Orchestra Ewer Is a primary care physician at the U*M Health Center m Livonia

Dr Steven Ewer had a tough choice to make before applying for college He seriously consid­ered attending a music conser­vatory, but opted instead for Cornell University and then medical school at the University of Michigan

Today, he has the best of both worlds working days as a pri­mary care physician at University of Michigan Health Center in Livonia, and rehears­ing nights with the Life Sciences Orchestra on campus

On Wednesday, May 12, he’ll join the rest of the musicians for a free concert at 7 30 p m in Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor The concert salutes the grand

opening of the university’s $100 million Life Sciences Institute dedicated to research The concert is open to the pub­lic and begins with a 6 30 p m lecture by music director Laura Jackson For more information, visit www umich edu/~lsorch or call (734) 963-ARTS

The Life Sciences Orchestra draws together faculty, staff, students and alumni from the medical, health and life sci­ences areas of the university Members include doctors, medical students and residents, staff, nurses, biologists, phar­macists, dentists and family members

‘It was one of the big deci­

sions of my life,” said Ewer, who specializes m internal medicine and is principal violist for the LSO ‘W hat helped me to make that decision was considering I could do medicine with music on the side but not music with medicine on the side

“The orchestra is a wonderful outlet for a lot of us m the med­ical profession from what we’re used to doing in the hospitals and laboratories It’s something we really look forward to doing every week.”

The need to combine music- with science is what originally

Rosedale Community Players Timm Gillette (ieft) and Jamie Frasure rehearse for 'Butterflies Are Free a fund-raiser to benefit the Livonia-based Community Opportunity Center

Denise King thinks Butterflies Are Free is a perfect choice for the Community Opportunity Center s new fund­raiser on May 15 TheLivoma- based nonprofit housing corpo­ration provides services to per­sons with developmental dis­abilities The play focuses on a young blind man attempting to find his way m the world At the centers they’re trying to help people do that everyday The cost is about $2 million a year

The center receives much of its financial support from the Wayne Center or Community Living Services, contract agen­cies of the Detroit-Wayne County Community Mental Health Agency - but this year were $125,000 short They ve managed to raise nearly $25,000 with an appeals letter and hope to raise another $10,000 with the theater event

King is counting on support­ers looking for a special evening to purchase the $75 tickets that include an elegant wine and hors d oeuvres reception 6 30-8 pm followed by Butterflies Are Free at 8 p m For tickets, call (734) 422-1020

The show was originally pre­sented by the Rosedale Community Players for three weekends in February at the

Upstage Theater m Old Redford

“We service nearly 100 people with developmental disabilities m Livonia, Plymouth, Garden City, Redford, and Westland by providing them with homes, apartments, a variety of hous­ing,’ said King, executive direc­tor “We’re hoping to educate and tram people to be as self sufficient as they can We pro­vide every kind of housing from 24-hour supervised to ending up m their own apartment with only a few hours of supervised staffing”

Community Opportunity Center opened its first residence m Plymouth in 1975 King came on board m I960 as a volunteer at Plymouth Opportunity House while going to college

‘We originally opened m the 1960s with work programs and then the first home,” said King “Back then people were still in institutions or at home with mom and dad Then the insti­tutions began closing

W e do feel we need to have two significant fund-raisers each year We look at this as something thats going to grow Our major golf outing (Aug 26 at Fox Hills in Plymouth) attracts a certain group We re

trying to broaden the types of fund-raisers ”

Larry Rink agrees with King that the fund-raiser and play are a perfect fit He originally directed the romantic comedy back in February for Rosedale Community Players Goldie Hawn starred m the 1972 film version of the play by Leonard Gershe

“It s about a young blind man who tries to go out on his own in New York City,’ said Rink, who is also president of the Players “He moved away from an overly protective

mother It’s a coming of age story for him and the young girl he meets in the apartment adjacent to his It shows young people trying to spread their wings and the growth that the mother has to go through She must let her son go and trust he can function! well on his own I

Although wel have taken shows on the road before, we don’t do it as a rule, but we think it’s a real worthwhile organization, helping the men­tally challenged people to live a better life

led to the founding of the orchestra m fall 2000

Dunng Ewers university days, a group of U-M medical students decided to form a group they named the Borodin Society Four times a year they played for a lunch time series put on by the university’s Gifts of Art program

‘The LSO was a grand spin­off from that society founded around 1997, said Ewer, also a member of the Ann Arbor and Flint symphony orchestras ‘ Borodin was an interesting character, a well-known com­poser but also a chemist That s the science and music connec­tion we took from him ’

“We took our orchestra’s name from the Life Sciences Institute because we knew they were an up-and-coming organ­ization It’s a, neat way for each of us to help with publicity of the other The new building opening up will help foster even more relationships They’re kind of doing what we re doing with our orchestra on a smaller scale ’

According to Kara Gavin, science writer for the U-M Health Systems Public Relations Office, the orchestra parallels the Institutes mission to bring together all areas of the life sciences on campus Gavin was one of the founding members of the LSO

We knew of medical stu­dents who wanted to start an orchestra,” said Gavin, a French horn player from Plymouth “Harvard has a doctor’s orches­tra just open to doctors We want everyone to join It’s part of the Life Sciences Initiative (former university) President Lee Bollinger was trying to bring together Different areas of university research — some of the best researchers in medi­cine and dental, biochemistry — didn’t know what was going on across campus The idea was to get the doctors talking to the researchers, to help accelerate the research ”

Fittingly, the concert opens with “Consecration of the House, an overture written by Beethoven to inaugurate a Viennese theater Gavin said its just as suited to the grand opening of the 230 000- square foot scientific research

facility“The concert kicks off the

new building, which has attracted new scientists and concentrated the researchers m all areas m one building,’ said Gavin ‘ It is a symbol of this bringing together The orches­tra has a lot of people in these disciplines who want a creative outlet at the end of their day m the operating room or lab I play because I love to play I love the music and being together with people who have similar interests It s sort of a letting go There are people who can’t afford to make mis­takes when they’re working on a child’s heart the size of a golf ball They can come and let go for a little b it’

Natalie Clark isn’t a doctor yet, but nevertheless enjoys the outlet it provides her as a pre- med student Like Ewer, she grew up loving music but decided she “could be a doctor and play music but not vice versa The orchestra allows her to mix medicine and music

‘I think that’s a pretty com­mon theme throughout the orchestra,’ said Clark, a Plymouth resident who plays flute and piccolo ‘In the past I played in the wind ensemble at Plymouth Salem High School and spent three summers at Interlochen Arts Camp, but when I had to decide between going into pre-med or music, I thought this is a way I can do both I really enjoy the orches­tra This is my second concert^ * with the group I’m very excite «> ed It should be a great con- « cert ”

Cmdy Kamish is especially looking forward to playing Mussorgsky’s Pictures a t an Exhibition, arranged by Ravel The Canton resident and her husband, Frank, a French horn player, have been involved with the orchestra since its incep­tion She is an administrative assistant and program coordi­nator for dermatology at U-M Health System

“I’ve played Pictures before •*. and have grown with it,” said *' Kamish, a trumpet player ‘ I *love music Some people do « sports Music is my sport A Iqf * of people go out and do soft- ? ball I did jazz band, orchestra and marching band The orchestra is fun Even though there’s a lot of intelligence there, there s no ego They re all there to have a good time and express themselves

M o m s t o b eT here’s no question about it

Everywhere you turn these days, there s another adver­

tisement for this or that new pill or over-the-counter medi­cine And the medicine aisle in the local drugstore contains tens of dozens of medicines just waiting to overwhelm the next unsuspecting shopper

Everyone needs to take over- the-counter medications once in a while But I think the aver­age person could probably cut x down on the need for these things with a little effort

For example, if you tend to get heartburn, you can take a good look at the foods you’re putting into your body It’s pos­sible that a better diet can help you reduce your reliance on those antacids Also, if you have allergies, you might want to talk to your doctor about lifestyle changes you can make Who knows9 You might be able to avoid taking another allergy pill

We all want to feel good all the time Tome, it just makes sense to try to do it fau natural” whenever we can

And please remember to take care of your health before it’s lonngggg gone’

Keeping fit is important

during pregnancy

' BY SAN D R A D A LK A -P R Y S B YCORRESPONDENT

In days past, exerase for a woman “with child” was taboo Pregnant women were discouraged from doing any type of physical activity

But times have changed Medical professionals now tout exercise, when done sensibly, as a good way to main­tain fitness during this speaal time in a woman’s life

Dr Donald M T&ylor, a gynecologist and obstetrician practiang in Troy, said that moderation is the key when participating in exercise

‘ If a woman has been active prior to the pregnancy, she can continue her exercise routine with some modifica­tions,” he said “This may not be a time to run a marathon, but she can contin­ue to be active, even rqn, at least up until the last trimester”

He added that any type of exercise that produces bouncing is not recom­mended during the final phase of pregnancy “Also, there is the need, espeaally while exercising, for increased fluid consumption,” he said “Dehydration is not good for pregnan­cy”

According to Taylor, women who have not been physically active should not undertake a strenuous exercise program after they get pregnant Walking, swimming, cycling and other

........ fFOREVER FIT \

low-impact aerobics are recommend­ed as good ways to add exercise I

‘Just about any exercise that keeps the pulse rate under 150 is fine, he said “A woman just has To use com­mon sense to assure that she doesn’t harm herself or the baby during preg­nancy” /

And, Taylor said, it’s important for a woman to check with her physician about what type and how much exer­cise she can participate in during her pregnancy

This doctor added there should be no reason for a healthy woman to sus­pend exerase during pregnancy, espe­cially smce regular exercise offers a number of benefits It helps to build bones and muscles, provides energy and helps assure better sleep It can provide a sense of well-being and good health

“Because of all the benefits exercise offers, it is important to continue this activity when you’re pregnant and your body is changing,’ Taylor said

BENEFITS OF EXERCISE

Julie Calicut, 29, of Farmington Hills, and Zaira Kime, 24, of Livonia, know firsthand the benefits of exercis mg during pregnancy Calicut, the mother of a 19 -month-old son, is expecting her second child m July Kime, who is Calicut’s sister-in-law, is expecting her first child m November

A Small Incision with Big Results!

Dr. Neal Mozen, Dr. Je ff Szczepanski, and Dr. Lori Duncan o f Foot Healthcare Associates would like to announce a new breakthrough in helping to resolve foot pain, the Isogard system Our doctors are the first in the metropolitan Detroit area to offer this ne\y state of the art procedure! W ith this new procedure we utilize special equipment which allows for a very small incision, with one or two stitches “A small incision with big results” 1 The two conditions that this new procedure can be utilized for is Morton’s Neuroma (forefoot pain) and Plantar Faciitis (heel pain). This new minimally invasive procedure has been developed by Koby Surgical The procedure for neuroma pain is called “a nerve decompression” The enlarged nerve is decompressed by isolating and releasing the ligament above the nerve Once the nerve is relieved o f the pressure, the painful symptoms usually resolve The patient's nerve is left intact and does not have to be removed, as is often done for neuroma pain Preserving the nerve can reduce the likelihood of losing sensation m the foot The small incision usually results in a quicker healing time, allowing patients to resume activities in days instead of weeks This procedure is becoming the standard treatment for hundreds o f surgeons throughout the country

Our doctors will always explore non-surgical treatments before considering surgical intervention But for many patients who continue to suffer with neuroma or heel pain this new procedure can offer significant benefit

It's the season for sneezing and snifflingWhile seasonal allergies are

on the nse heading them off early by seeking treatment before the runny nose, conges­tion, sneezing, coughing, wheezing, and watery eyes set in can help keep these uncom­fortable symptoms at bay

“It’s a lot easier to treat the allergic reactions before they start happening than to wait until you’ve had symptoms,” said Dr Andrew Singer, an allergist at University of Michigan Health System “Typically, this means starting a couple weeks before allergy season even begins to get your body ready for the onslaught of allergens Once the allergic reaction happens it takes more medication and it’s much more difficult to calm things down and make you feel better”

Starting early means being ready Depending on what part of the country you live m aller­gy season is likely to begin around March or April and continue right through the first frost in the fall The earliest allergens to pop up are tree pollens, followed by grass pol­lens and then different types of weed pollens Ragweed, one of the most common allergens, usually kicks up around late August or early September

More and more people are affected by seasonal allergies T\venty years ago about 10 per­cent of the population experi­enced seasonal allergies Today that prevalence has doubled to

20 percent to 25 percent Allergists notice this trend m perennial allergies and food allergies as well

Experts suspect the “hygiene hypothesis” is to blame for the upswing in allergies As doc­tors have gotten better at treat­ing infections with antibiotics and vaccines children aren’t exposed to as many infections as they were 20 to 30 years ago

“The immune system literal­ly gets bored,” Singer said “If one part of the immune system isn’t challenged appropriately enough or with the right chal­lenges at the right period of time then it turns into more of an allergic immune system rather than an infection fight­ing immune system”

Allergies are most likely to spring up around age 2 or 3 They’ll get worse as children get older and collect more allergens but by the 20s or 30s symptoms tend to improve As people continue to age, their reactions to allergens tend to lessen That’s little consolation to someone who spends the spring sniffling and sneezing

Many different medications are available to treat seasonal allergies TVaditional over-the- counter antihistamines can treat symptoms well but tend to make you drowsy Newer antihistamines don’t cause the same sort of drowsiness and tend to last 24 hours which means taking a pill once a day

as opposed to every four to six hours Nasal stenod sprays are available by prescription These effectively manage aller­gy symptoms without making you sleepy

If medications don't work allergy injections may be an option Doctors determine exactly what’s causing the allergy and create a cus­tomized injection of allergens based on the individual’s sensi­tivities

For many people seasonal allergies are easily managed with over-the-counter medica­tions If those don’t work for you or if your symptoms are year-round, consider seeing an allergist It’s also advisable to visit a specialist if this is the first year you’re expenencing allergy symptoms Your doctor can determine that it is allergy and not sinusitis or an eye infection

Allergies can also be linked to asthma Among children with allergies, 50 percent to 70 percent may have underlying asthma as well For some peo­ple allergens m the environ­ment specifically trigger asth­ma.

“Certainly when asthma’s involved allergies become a lit­tle bit more dangerous because the asthma can get to the point where a child or adult can have difficulty breathing, may need supplemental oxygen or may need to be seen in the emer­gency room for further treat­

ment,” Singer saidThe best tests for allergies

are a skin scratch or prick test m which the doctor places tiny amounts of suspected allergens under your skm to look for a reaction These tests will help determine the specific sub­stances causing your allergies Blood tests may also be done to look for antibodies to suspect­ed allergens

While allergies can’t be cured, there are things you can do to limit your exposure to allergens Avoid going out­doors during peak times of year for pollen exposure Use air conditioning in your house and car and keep the windows closed Wear a mask when doing lawn or garden work. Shower or bathe at night to remove pollens or other aller­gens from your hair and skin Vacuum your carpets, curtains and soft furniture often, and remove any mold you find m your home.

Calicut exercised regularly during her first pregnancy and currently participates in water aerobics, walking and does a set 30-mmute circuit program at a fitness facility

“Exercise helps me feel stronger and better about myself,’ she said “In addition, it has been a great stress reliev­er”

Calicut added she believes it is the exercise that helped her during her first pregnancy, as it is now, to keep within the rec­ommended guidelines of limit­ing weight gain to 25-35 pounds

Kime has already discovered that remaining active — she walks regularly, does yoga and some weight training — is allowing her to have the energy and stamina, to continue a healthy lifestyle The young mother-to-be grew up m Spam, where being active is a way of life

“Unlike here, m my country we walk everywhere and use public transportation,” she said “We walk to get fresh gro­ceries every day All this activi­ty keeps most of my country­men fairly fit

“For me, health and fitness go together, so I am continuing to be active every day This will help me be more physically prepared when the baby comes ”

Kime, who has a pre-existing shoulder injury from playing tennis, is also working with Mary Ann Koenig, a physical therapist at Complete Therapy in Canton Koenig, like she does for other pregnant clients, has developed an individual­ized program for Kime It takes into account the shoulder problem and concentrates on strengthening the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor to accommodate the added weight of the baby

WEIGHT TRAINING

It’s also important to do some upper body training with weights to strengthen the arms, shoulders and back for good posture,” Koenig said ‘Pregnant women can continue to do weight training, bu t they,, should use smaller weights so problems don’t develop ”

The therapist added that the aim of her program is to assure less back strain, good body mechanics and provide new mothers with the ability to comfortably pick up and hold their babies

‘ Pregnancy is a normal pathological state for a woman’s body to be in,” Koenig said “Because of this, contin­ued exercise is possible as long as precautions are taken ”

She stressed, however, that no exercise program should be undertaken without a doctor’s consent

Calicut got her doctor’s approval before continuing with her exercise program

“I just go a little slower than I did in my pre-pregnancy days,” she said “Also, if I find that an exercise I’m doing is uncomfortable, I stop doing it I try to use good common sense’

Kime also believes that com­mon sense is the best tool to use when it comes to exercise

“I will continue to do what I’ve been doing with the need­ed modifications for pregnan­cy” she said “This, I hope, will keep me healthy and that things will go well for the baby and me ”

Taylor, who has been m prac-* tice for 29 years, said that while participating in moder­ate exercise is normally safe for the majohty of pregnant women, there are times when activity should be terminated These include pain, vaginal bleeding, dizzmess or feeling faint, headache, increased shortness of breath, muscle weakness, rapid heartbeat, calf pain or swelling, difficulty walking, uterine contractions and chest pain, decreased fetal movement, and ammotic fluid leakage

Live and play at HiddenBY NORMAN PRADY

CORRESPONDENT

It’s an old story illustrating positive thinking Two men are working m the excavation for a new church A passer-by asks what they’re doing One man says he’s digging a hole The second man says he’s building a cathedral

Earl LaFave said, yes, he’d be like the second man “There was that moment, he said, when the gravel pit stopped being just a gravel pit and started being the heart of a new community where hundreds would live and play

The Beck Companies, which LaFave operates with his brother, Steven, mined stone and sand from a hill more than 300 feet high and a half-mile to a mile wide near Kensington Road in Brighton

When they got down to ground level, the backhoes, cranes and excavation loaders pulled ton after ton of gravel , from an ever-growing cavity '

Before long, seeping ground water, and underground springs now cleared of ancient blockage, began to fill the cavity The backhoes were parked along what was becoming a shoreline Dredges and underwater vacuums continued the work

TAKING SHAPE

“Yes,” LaFave said, thinking back to that day in the late 1980s when “we no longer were just digging gravel but now were shaping something else ’

‘In winter, we put sand on the ice and when it thawed the sand went under the water.'Earl LaFave *B e c k C o m p a n i e s

That something else was Hidden Lake, now a 110-acre body of spring-fed water, and Hidden Lake, a community LaFave said eventually will be home to a population Of 1,500 to 2,000 who will come for the nature trails, the fishing, a schedule of special events and a style of living usually found only at Michigan’s resorts

Hidden Lake, the lake, is about one mile long at its longest point, LaFave said, and about one-third to one-half mile at its widest About 60 feet at its deepest spot, the lake has a sandy beach and a gradual sandy slope into the water

As the water was filling the lake, we transported sand to the shoreline,” LaFave said “In winter, we put sand on the ice and when it thawed the sand went under the water”

Not connected to another major body of water, there is no outside influence on the water quality LaFave said A piping system captures storm water and filters it before it enters the lake, he said

“This was much more than a fantasy We had a clearly defined reclamation, restoration, and development plan

established from day we bought the property

ONE-OF-A-KIND

“I’m a hopeless romantic It’s a one-of- a-kind development We don’t have a subdivision, we have a community’

Hidden Lake, the community, now is about one-third built, LaFave said

An early resident is Gen Gee who remembers watching the birth of the lake in the days wherfgravel was first being replaced by water “I was in high school in Bnghton and when we gradu­ated in 1986, the whole class came here to swim ”

And now she lives there ‘ I think we were the first on the water” She and her husband, Kevin, had no plans to move from their home on the other side of Bnghton, she said, hut visited Hidden Lake and ‘loved what it looked like ’

Their 4,200-square-foot house is about 30 yards, she said, from the water

Of their 12-year-old son she said, “We were paying to entertain this kid Now hes got so much to do around here, we can t get him to leave the area

Lush gardens and nature preservation areas sur­round the crystal clear waters of spring-fed Hidden Lake which offers swimming, boating fishing and water skiing

(NAPSI) - You don’t have to j spend a fortune renovating your house to get a quick sale at the best price Some of the most effective fix-ups may also be among the least expensive

Just a few hundred dollars of landscaping, for example, can boost your home’s value by $1 ,8 0 0 , according to a survey of real estate agents Cleaning and de-cluttermg your home, the survey found, could add thousands more to the price

Tour your property as if you were a prospective buyer Drive or walk up to your house Ask a friend to help you spot problems you’ve stopped noticing Write everything down

EXTERIOR

■ Prune overgrown bushes and trees so your house is visible from the street Plant colorful flowers Keep the lawn green and trimmed

■ Paint exterior doors and win­dow trim to freshen your home s look without the expense of repaint­ing Replace or remove torn screens or damaged storm windows Make sure extenor lights are working

■ Get rid of anything blocking pathways or cluttenng up yards and patios

■ Clean your windows so your home looks as light and bright as possible (

INTERIOR

Inside, inspect floors, walls, kitchen, bathrooms and closets

■ A deep cleaning is essential for

a good first impression Bathrooms and the kitchen should be spotless

■ Banish bad smells Air out your home daily Don’t cook smelly foods Clean the litter box Bake cookies before buyers visit to give your place a “homey” smell

■ Remove inside clutter Stow away knickknacks and family pic­tures so buyers can picture them ­

selves living in the house Consider renting temporary storage space Tidy closets look bigger and more appealing

■ Fix your floors Real estate agents say buyers really notice the condition of floors Hardwood should be polished, carpets sham­pooed or replaced Repair broken tile or linoleum

■ If you’ve painted or wallpa­

pered in recent years, you may be able to get away with just washing your walls Otherwise, consider repainting m neutral colors

Remember, remodeling is for buyers, not sellers Major renova­tions usually don’t pay but buyers expect your home to be m decent shape Talk with a real estate agent about which projects to tackle before listing your home

Consider hiring your own inspec­tor to alert you to problems you may not realize, so you can fix them before they cost you a sale

Safety at home is no accident(NAPSI) - For every accident in the

workplace, 100 will happen in the home Before you start your next home improve­ment or yard project, consider these safety tips

■ Breathe a little easier When painting, maintaining the pool, working on the lawn and when allergen levels are high, take special care If you can see, smell or taste the substance you’re working with, you probably need respiratory protection

■ Keep your vision clear More than 90 percent of eye injuries can be prevented with the use of safety eyewear Contemporary designs that are both styl­ish and comfortable are available in light­weight styles for prolonged wear and with lenses that are hard-coated to resist scratching Use clear lenses indoors and chemical goggles if working with fine par­ticles or liquids

■ Cover your ears Hearing loss is a common disability in the United States and common household machines such as lawn mowers, leaf blowers and power tools can generate noise loud enough to damage hearing If the noise is so loud you

need to raise your voice to be heard three feet away, your hearing may be at nsk Regular and proper use of earplugs or protective equipment can help prevent hearing damage

■ Be prepared Nearly everyone will need a first-aid kit at some time, making it a necessity at home, at work and m your car Instead of assembling one yourself, consider buying a ready-made kit designed to treat a range of common minor emergencies The most efficient kits are tailored to fit your needs and fea­ture such essential items as antiseptics, antibacterial wipes, adhesive bandages, scissors or tweezers, burn cream and a cold pack

■ Tb be safe, be seen Being aware of your surrounding environment is only one step in being safe, the environment needs to be aware of you Equipment such as reflective vests or safety cones can be life- savers

Following these tips and wearing the proper safety equipment can help protect your health and safety For more informa­tion, log on to www aosafety com

The "voice m a il freeze" - it's happened to everyone a t some p o in t. I t is charac­te rized b y d iffic u lty o r in a b ility to record a clear,

One w ay is to practice by leaving yo u rse lf a voice m a il, then critiq u e the message Is everything clear? W ould you re tu rn your call? People can hear a "sm ile " on th e phone, and they ce rta in ly can hear your a ttitu d e W hen you leave an upbeat message, i t invites people to call you back. I f you m ust leave a long message, indicate th is up fro n t For example "I'm going to be o u t o f the office fo r a few days, so please excuse th is long message" The re c ip ie n t w ill appreci­ate you r candor and your consideration

Because e -m a il is one o f the m ost im m ediate form s o f d ig ita l com m unication, it's im p o rta n t th a t you learn to use i t e ffectively

The message you send may be p rin te d ou t and d is trib u te d to others, so make sure i t looks profes­sional C are fu lly check gram m ar and spelling W h ile w o rd processing program s usua lly include features to he lp you w ith gram m ar and spelling, th is is less lik e ly to be the case w ith e -m ail, so you w an t to be on you r toes

* 2004 marks Chevrolet s 93rd year m the car business* Chevrolet began as a dream of two men — Louis Chevrolet and Billy Durant — in 1911.* Louis Chevrolet was a race-car driver and designer and Billy Durant was a financier They started talking about a car com­pany m 1909* The very first product of die Chevrolet Motor Car Co Inc was the Classic Six. Its debut was on Nov 3,1911* The Classic Six began being produced m 1912 and cost $2,150* Durant and Chevrolet decided to incorporate into two sepa­rate companies — the Little Motor Car Co and the Mason Motor Co Mason would produce the engines and Little would build the bodies for Chevrolet vehicles \* In 1913, Chevrolet had already outgrown its facilities m Detroit because capacity had doubled. The company was moved to Flint* In 1914, the famous Chevrolet bowtie emblem was created and the company introduced its second-generation of automo­biles, beginning with die Model L Light Six.* It wasn t until Chevrolet introduced die H-Senes Chevrolet Fours, the first 4-cyhnder models, that die company’s reputa­tion took off* Chevrolet introduced two distinct models m 1914 -- the Royal Mail Roadster (which cost $750) and the Baby Grand Touring Car ($875 MSRP)* The Royal Mail Roadster and die Baby Grand Touring Car were the first models to use the valve-in-head engine that s still popular today* In 1915, Chevrolet introduced its first luxury model, die Amesbuiy Special* The first Chevrolet dealers were m Oakland, Atlanta and Kansas City, Mo* Chevrolet s price leader, the 490, was introduced in 1915 The name was taken directly from its cost — $490

* The very first V-8 engine m Chevrolet vehicles debuted m die D-Senes cars So popular and functional was this engine that Chevrolet used it exclusively on its cars until 1955, when die next-generation V-8 was bom.* During die height of World War I, General Motors purchased Chevrolet, making it a division of GM* In 1918, Chevrolet introduced its first truck.

designed to make driving easier* In 1933, Chevrolet introduced the first built-in trunk and independent front suspension* It s been more than half a century since Chevrolet first became a Pace Car for the Indianapolis 500 Since that time, tiie honor of the Pace Car and the Chevrolet Bowtie have become synonymous* In 1995, the official Pace Car of the Indy 500 was a convert­ible Corvette. It was driven by former Chevrolet General Manager Jim Perkins That car was outfitted with a 5 7-kter LTl engine capable of300 horsepower at 5,000 rpm The engine was mated to a 4-speed electronically controlled auto­matic transmission Other features included ZR-15-spoke alu­minum wheels and 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes It was a stock model, with no factory performance enhancements The only enhancements - which were mandated by the United States Auto Club (USAC) — were installation of a roll bar, 360

& tr u c k s in 2 0 0 4

* In 1986, Chevrolet was again chosen as a Pace Car for the Indy 500 race and the honor was bestowed on a Corvette con­vertible, which was built at the Bowling Green, Ky plant* The Corvette Pace Car was powered by a 350 cubic mch 5 7- liter V8 that produced 230 horsepower at 4,000 rpm. The engine was mated to a 4-speed manual transmission with computer- controlled overdrive* The bright yellow Corvette had heavy-duty Bosch-designed4-whccl anti-lock brakes* All convertible Corvettes built that year were considered Pace Car replicas and were designated Z51 Corvettes* Behind the wheel that year was retired US Air Ford Brigadier General Chuck Eager, the first pilot to shatter the sound barrier as a test pilot* It wasn t until 1990 that Chevrolet was chosen as a Rice Car again* It was a bright yellow Chevrolet Beretta with a 3 4-liter V6 engine with 245 horses and an electronically controlled auto­matic transmission* It was the first 6-cyiinder Chevrolet to be chosen as an Official Pace Car since the Chevrolet Stylemaster Six-Senes started the tradition m 1948* Chevrolet produced 7,500 replicas for sale to the public.
