School boardbegins figuring outwhat's in a name

Salem High School Principal Jerry Ostoin has grand-children who live near the new Plymouth-Canton ele-mentary school being constructed in Canton Township'sCherry Hill Village. And, while assignments have yet tobe made, there's a good chance they will attend cllUlses atthe as-of-yet unnamed schooL

The Board of Education is currently in the process ofaccepting nominations for what to call the new school,and, coincidentally, Ostoin's name is on the list.

"It is very pattering to be recognized in this, fasl,1ionfur thishonor;' said Ostoin, 61. "When you think oftQ,e other peopleI respect who have names on some of bur p",",ent, buildings,like the Hobens and Isbisters, it's a great honor~ '

Ostoin - who was hired as an assistant principal in1974 and became principal in 19B6 - is one of morethan a dozen people who have been submitted to theschool board for consideration.

"Elementary schools are named for past or present sig-nificant educational contributors to the district," saidFrank Ruggirello, director of community relations."That includes employees, board members and commu-nity members who have made significant contributionsto the education of children in this district."

Another on the list is Superintendent Jim Ryan, who was

When the Canton Township Board of Trustees meetsnext week to review the 2006 budget, one of the capitalimprovements will be $45 million in sewer improve-ments.

The improvements, recommended earlier this year byTim Faas, Municipal Services director, include $18 mil-lion in local sewer improvements, and $27 million inregional improvements.

The regional improvements include doubling thecapacity at the Western Townships Utilities Authority'sLower Rouge equalization basin at Michigan Avenueand 1-275. The basin currently holds 5.5 million gallonsof wastewater, and will hold 11million gallons after the'project's completion.

WTUA will perform the design and construction work,and Canton Township will foot the bill, Faas said. Thedesign portion will cost $4 million and is scheduled tobe done in 2006, and the $23 million constructionphase will begin in 2007, and will be completed in 2008or 2009, if the township approves it.

The local improvements include the addition andexpansion oflocal sewer relief pipes along Morton Thylorand Denton, as well as other locations in the township.

Although the township board has not approved theregional expenditures, WTUA is starting the process ofrequesting proposals for the design phase of the project,Faas said. The township has done the same in the localimprovement projects.

Earlier this month, the township board of trustees dis-Ul:,;:,cJ Ju(inb d ;-,tuu) ::)\.....:J~i()llr'0s:;ii.Jk ;In l,--a>~C[' 1;:. tb. ...water and sewer rates, in order to maintain an adequatewater and sewer fund balance.

"The rate increases were very much tied to theimprovement projects," Faas said, though the projectsare not the sole cause of the proposed increase.

''We were looking at the rate increases before we werethinking of making these improvements," he said. "It was

TO}VI1ship,Garden City, Wayne,Westland and Inkster.

"We never really have drawn shop-pers from places like Dearborn andDearborn Heights, Garden City andInkster;' Amann said. "We drawfrom Plymouth, Northville, placesnorth and south of Canton.Households in those communitieshave an average of $20,000 morediscretionary spending than thoseeast ofI-275."

It's the consumers' increasing num-bers, and their relative aJ!Iuence, whichhave put Canton on the map, at least inthe eyes of developers.

.It's not just the growth in Cantonresidential development that haslaunched the massive interest fromretailers. It's also the growth occur-ring in Van Buren Township, just tothe south of Canton.

"You're starting to see morerooftops in Van Buren Township,and the nature of that community ischanging. You're starting to seehouseholds with more discretionaryincome:' Amann said.

, As more business interest devel-ops in Canton's southern businessdistrict, so will the natjlre of thetownship and its traffic patterns,according to Public Safety DirectorJohn Santomauto., "If you go back about six years, we

looked at Michigan Avenue, andwhat was occuITIng and what couldpotentially happen as buildingdemographics changed;' he said.

As some of the smaller businessesand little hotels have begun to disap- .pear, there's room for big business toenter the picture.

"Michigan Avenue was mostly aneast-west highway, with plenty ofcars traveling on it, but Ford Roadwas where most of the commercialactivity was," Santomauro said. "Ascommercial has started to developthere (along Michigan Avenue),we've had an increased police pres-ence, in order to respond to thechanging building demographics:'

The demographics are expected toincrease the frequency of trafficissues and possibly traffic accidents,but are not likely to increase crime,he said.

''When you start bringing in ananchor like Costco, that spurs fur-ther development. The misconcep-tion is that you end up with a Iptmore crime, but that's not true.What is true is that you have anincrease in calls for services. Costcoand Sam's Club typically do not havea lot of shoplifting, like you wouldwith your normal-level big store,"Santomauro said.

TRAFFIC CHANGES

Businesses are also getting a betterand more accurate picture of whoshops in Canton, thanks to updatedinformation from Canton'sDowntown Development Authority.

Before the information was updat-ed, it was believed that Canton wasattracting most shoppers from a 10-mile radius, a circle which drewshoppers from Plymouth, Van Buren

FROM PAGE Alber can be deceiving because muchof Michigan Avenue's traffic is gener-ated by people who are breezmgthrough the area between Ann Arborand Dearborn or Detroit.

Though much ofit is yet undevel-oped, there are tentative plans andstrong interest in most of what'savailable along Michigan Avenue.

"It's really the last area oflarge tractparcels still available inCanton. It'shard - sometimes impossible - to findthose anywhere else in the township,"Amann said. "Literally all of the prop-ertyfrom Beck to 1-275 is under con-tract right now:'

That's good news to Floyd."We just can't help but do even

better than we are now," she said.Warehouse retailer Costeo, with

its target market of upper middle-income households, is moving aheadwith tentative plans to build atMichigan Avenue and BellevilleRoad. And several stores with loca-tions currently on Ford Road areseeking property along MichiganAvenue, in order to "bookend" thecommunity, Amann said.

In addition to restaurants andretail, Amann believes that there willbe more car dealerships cropping upalong Michigan Avenue. Tuesdaynight, the township board of trnsteesapproved a site plan for a newVictory Toyota car dealership onMichigan Avenue, and Amannexpects more will follow.

"BMW has been sniffing aroundfor a long time," he said, adding thatcar dealerships today are not neces-sarily what they once Were - a vastsea of asphalt parking with a large,nondescript building on the site.Instead, they tend to be smaller, par-ticularly when they are businesseswhich sell high-end automobiles."They are smaller and much moresuccinct:'

The residential growth in Cantonsparked the interest of retailers, andcontinued growth - three developersare submitting plans to build some2,000 additional homes in thesouthern portion of the township - isadding to the confidence of bus i-nesses who've been eyeing the area.

Canton resident JasonKaye is leading the part-nership to construct thefacility, and said at thetime ofthe approval thathe feels the facility is anexample of a win-win forhim, as well as the com-munity.

Because Canton residentsput a premium on theirleisure activities, his busi-ness will be a welcome addi-tion to the existing sportsfacilities. In return, he said,he'll draw people from near-by communities, and possi-bly regional communities,to Canton's MichiganAvenue.

On the south side ofMichigan Avenue, just westof Belleville Road, sportsteams from around thestate, and even the region,suit up every weekend (andmost weeknights during thesummer) and play ball. Andfootball. And cricket. Theactivities in Canton'sVictory Park on MichiganAvenue aren't just fun andgames, though. They alsobring a significant numberof visitors - and their cash -to Canton Township.

Victory Park is home tothe township-ownedCanton Sports Center's 12baseball and softball dia-monds, and three privatelyowned or operated busi-nesses: Diamond's restau-rant, which is operated by aprivate enterprise; ArcticEdge indoor ice arena,which leases land in thepark for $1 per year fromthe township, and is pri-vately owned and operated;and High Velocity, a private-ly owned and operatedindoor soccer facility.

"There is a tremendouseconomic impact on otherbusinesses, especially busi-nesses along MichiganAvenue. Much of the growththat's gone on alongMichigan Avenue has beenbrought on by what hap-pens at Victory Park;' saidAnn Conklin, Canton'sleisure services director.

A formula from theInternational Conventionand Visitors Bureau proj-ects what the average sport-ing event means in terms ofeconomic impact on a com-munity, and using that for-mula Conklin estimates thatmajor events which bringvisitors for four days meanthat $1 million will be spentin the area by the sportsteams.

Moritz said most of the dis-placed victims ended up inMichigan1because they havefamily in Canton Township.

"1\v() Of the families - a total ofeight jleople - drove up in ",mini"van, which was also crowdedwith a wheelchair for one of thekids; said Moritz. "They left witha week's worth of clothingbecause they thought they'd heable to go back.

"However, Shreveport wasleveled and the National Guardwon't let them back in," he said."They literally lost everything."

Boguslawa Gatarek, adjunctassociate professor of TeachingEnglish to Speakers of OtherLanguages, was recoguizedwith the Adjunct FacultyMember Award. She has beenteaching at the Universitysince 2000 and resides inEtobicoke, Ontario, Canada.

The Faculty Award fromGraduating Seniors went totherese Jamison, associateprofessor of Nursing and aFarmington Hills resident. Allgraduating seniors were sentnomination forms and asked toidentifY faculty members who .best personified the mission ofMadonna University.

"It is an honor and privilegeto receive this award fromgraduating seniors;' saidJamison. 'We have many bless-ings in our life - family, friendsand professions. To be a nursehas greatly enriched my life.MU is another blessing:'

A coalition of student organi-zations, working through theStudent Activities'Office willuse a famous New Orleans tra-dition to raise money to helpvictims of Hurricane Katrina .This is one of number of pro-grams the college is initiatingto help Katrina victims.

Although the fall semesteropened Sept. 1, there are morethan 100 courses that start inSeptember or October.

IJ,

Frank H. Wu of Canton is dean of Wayne State UniversityLaw SChool. He testified in the trial of the Grutter vs.Bollinger affirmative action case.

That is ouly the beginning of the process, nQtthe end. There are many other measures, suclias background and life experiences, that have:proven useful in predicting a student's drive, tcommitment, civic engagement and other tr,*"vital to the success oflawyers and law school",

Ignoring other factors, Sanders states :there is a "powerful" correlation between :LSAT(GPA and bar exam performance. Ju~tas a statistical matter, aside from the polic:\'implications, his analysis is flawed.According to the data he relies on, LSATscores and GPA account for less than 10 per-cent of the disparity in bar exam results. Inother words, he ignores the 90 percent of'the difference that cannot be explained. ,

He also uses old data. His 2001 data suggestthat without affirmative aCtion, there would bea 14 percent decline in African American ,admittees. The 2002-03 data show that there,would be a 35 to 45 percent decline and, inci-:dentally, a 25 percent increase in white admit.tees. :

Racial disparities have long existed and ,unfortunately continue to persist - for a :complex range of reasons, including the ves-tiges of past discrimination. It isn't clear :why anyone who, like Sander, insists he •wishes to help Mrican American students •would want to abolish a proven means of :doing so. .

Writing for the majority of her colleagues,Justice Sandra Day O'Connor articulated .:principle which since the civil rights move-ment Americans of all races have consistent-ly said they believe in: "In order to cultivatea set ofleaders with legitimacy in the eyes ofthe citizenry, it is necessary that the path ofleadership be visibly open to talented and 'qualified" individuals of every race and eth-,nicity." ,

Affirmative action is not ouly necessary but'also effective.

Affirmative action necessary, ;~effective in advancing opportunity'}'

, ,, i

Law schools, which enjoy an abundance of;lterrific applicants for every open seat, loliiat many criteria in determining how to bes\

"serve the myriad aspects of an academic :::mission.

Although the Supreme Court upheld theconstitutionality of affirmative actionand scholarly studies such as that by

former Princeton President William Bowenand former Harvard President Derek Bokhave shown the benefits of enrolling adiverse range of qualified students, oppo-nents ofthe programs continue to makemisleading arguments.

Even as universities in California andFlorida report trdublingdeclines in the number ofAfrican American, LatinQand Native American stu-dents, UCLA law professorRichard Sander is attractingpublicity with the argumentthat it is African Americansthemselves - not whites -who are harmed by raciallyconscious admissions poli-cies. His claims are neithernew nor persuasive.

Sander asserts that affirma-tive action leads to African Americans attend-

, ing law schools where they cannot compete.According to him, they either flunk out or dropout. Those who graduate aren't likely to passthe bar. He concludes that "a race-blind sys-tem" will produce more black lawyers - a goalhe says he shares.

Iflaw schools - and by extension otherprofessional and graduate programs - wereto adopt the system Sander advances, thereis little doubt that these institutions wouldquickly become re-segregated. There wouldbe schools that were virtually all white, witha handful of Asian Americans; there wouldbe other schools that could boast a modestraoial mix; and there also ,y.rould be manyAfrican American students who would loseaccess to higher education. The top lawschools, those that are the beginning of thepipeline to lucrative jobs with prestigiousfirms, powerful positions in the judiciary, aswell as business opportunities and influen-tial roles in academe, would be largelydrained of African American students.

After a year that saw countless celebrationsof the 50th anniversary of school desegrega-tion, ordered in the profound case of Brown VB.

Board of Education, such an outcome would beas ironic as tragic.

Leaders in higher education recognize thatconsidering race as a fact,or in high-stakes deci-sion making alters the composition of the class-room, Law schools, which enjoy an abundance

Iof terrific applicants for every open seat, look atmany criteria in determining how to best servethe myriad aspects of an academic mission.

Gulf Coast, on Aug. 30 the Census Bureau releaseda report showing that in 2004 Detroit was the poor-est city in America with one-third of its residentsliving below the poverty line. The report alsoshowed that child poverty in Michigan increasedfrom 15percent in 2003 to about 18 percent in2004. But in Oakland County those living in pover-ty actually declined from 8 percent in 2003 to 5percent in 2004, while in Wayne County itincreased from 17percent to 20 percent.

Perhaps in answer to this, the Republicanleadership in the state legislature proposed eas-ing Michigan's financial burden by shifting it onto the poor (maybe because there are so manymore of them now). They proposed droppingfamilies from welfare after four years, reducingthe payment from the lavish $499 a month to$409 and cutting Medicaid benefits. They set-tled for a review of the Medicaid and welfarerolls to track down those who could be cut.

On Thursday President Bush gave a remarksblespeech in which he conceded that, yes, all levels ofgovernment had failed in Katrina but that, "Thesystem at every level of government was not wellcoordinated and was overwhelmed in the first fewdays. It is now clear that a challenge of this scalerequires greater federal authority and a broader rolefor the armed forces. Americans have every right toexpect a more effective response:'

But it isn't just the destruction of NewOrleans that we witnessed, but its ongoing suf-fering made visible. To that Bush acknowledged,"As all of us saw on television, there is also somedeep, persistent poverty in this region as well.And that poverty has roots in a history of racialdiscrimination, which cut off generations fromthe opportunity of America.

IlWehave a duty to confront this poverty withbold action. So let us restore all that we havecherished from yesterday, and let us rise abovethe legacy of inequality:'

It shouldn't take a storm to suggest that weneed to address these same problems here in .Michigan at the local, state, federal and personallevel.

Perhaps in answer to this, the Republicanleadership in the state legislature proposedeasing Michigan's financial burden byshifting it on to the poor (maybe becausethere are so many more of them now).

Marshall McLuhan ouce wrote that electron-ic media was creatiug a "global village." InUnderstanding Media, he wrote, "Today,

after more,than a century of electric technology,we have extended our central nervous system ina global embrace, abolishing both space andtime as far as our planet is concerned:'

As the world watched over the last couple ofweeks, the tragic story of the Gulf Coast confirmedhow right McLuhan was. Day after day,we've

watched poor people pleadingfrom roof tops, slogging throughchest-deep fetid waters, crowd-ing into steamy convention hallsand sprawling on steps waitinginfear and danger for food andbuses that took forever to arrive.We watched small-town resi-dents walking shell-shockedthrough the ruins of what hadonce been ''home:' Over theshoulders of postoring cablereporters, we could see theunbearable agony of people who

had lost what little they had to lose.We watched and we responded. Private chari-

ties have raised millions for relief. Thousandshave volunteered their services, their schools,their homes to those whose lives have beenchanged forever by Hurricane Katrina and theflood left in its wake. Congress passed what willbe the first of several emergency spendiug bills.

Yet, those images showed us how little weknow and how little we care.

Long before Katrina sent waves crashing into \its levees, ~ew Orleans was a poor city. Itwaspoor, black, crime-ridden, surrounded by whitemiddle-class suburbs. When visitors went to thefamous New Orleans, the Bourbon Street NewOrleans, they were always warned not to wandertoo far from the French Quarter. New Orleanshad the nation's highest murder rate last year.

It came as a shock when suddenly homelessresidents took the opportunity to loot stores andyoung gangs fired on rescuers and committedheinous acts against fellow flood victims. Itcame as a shock that people didn't just get intheir cars and get out ot there. Itcame as ashock that New Orleans wasn't exactly the funcity that the tourist board had portrayed.

And when some evacuees were moved toHouston, former first lady Barbara Bush lookedabout and said, ''What I'm hearing, which is sortof scary, is they all want to stay in Texas.Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.And so many of the people in the arena here,you know, were underprivileged anyway, so thisis working very well for them:'

How nice, and scary.And some arch conservative Web sites, anoth-

er connection in the global village, are sayingKatrina is God's way of "purifYing" America.

Evans did come away with arenewed respect for his ownofficers.

"The thing that stands outfor me is that they were allexcited to help;' he said. "Therewas no sniping. They wouldgive the shirts off their backsfor New Orleans police offi-cers. _..

SURREAL CITYAfter stops in Mobile, Ala.,

for Grace Temple and BatonRouge, the deputies arrived atGonzales, La., the staging areafor New Orleans relief. Evanssaid everything seemed to beunder control and well organ-ized. His deputies were swornin and immediately deployedto the ravaged city.

Their first job was to relievetired and shell-shocked NewOrleans police officers. Therewas still sniper fire which pro-hibited night patrols. ,

"National media did a goodjob of showing it, but whatthey couldn't show was thesmell. It couldn't show the lackofinfrastrncture - no hospi-tals, no jails. When you raninto something you had toingenious," Evans said.

The flood waters actuallyhelped mask the smell of bod-ies floating in the water.Emergency medical care hadto be given on the spot.

"It was kind of surreal;'Evans said.

The sheriff said bureaucracywas a major problem inresponding to the disaster. Toomany levels of governmentwere ,'vaiting for somebody'sauthority.

On Wednesday Wayne "County Sheriff Warren Evans"and a contingent of deputies,arrived back in Westland afternearly two weeks ofhelpingthe Hurricane Katrina reliefeffort in New Orleans., Evans' quick, and officially,unauthorized, response to an,SOSfor help, won him favor-able mention in last Sunday'sNew York Times but, moreimportantly, gave him arenewed respect for the officersunder his command.

On Aug. 31, Sheriff EdmundM. Sexton ofThscaloosaCounty, l\Ia., and president ofthe National Sheriffs'Association, sent out a~ al~rtasking for members to help.

"Like everyone, we'd beenwatching national media cov-erage a,nd getting a good ideathat it wasn't good," Evans said ,Friday.

Evans said he realized that'the effort needed more thanjust added police presence. Hebegao to orgaoize a convoy totake needed supplies down tothe Gulf Coast.

'We started the planpingprocess and wanted to leave in24 hours from the time westarted and to call all the con-tacts we had to get the thingswe needed to go down there,the donations of Water and toi-let paper and all those essen-tial items," he said.

The Thamsters Union supplieddrivers and six tractor-trailers.Big Boy restaurants set up collec-tion sites and the word went outfur people to drop off items.Greater Grace Thmple in Detroitwas gathering items for its ownmission to an Alabama churchand joined the convoy.SteveRadden of Steve'sSoul Food alsojoined with his restaurant onwheels as did an ambulance fromHart Medical and a big rig fromBoulevard and Thnnbull Towing.Walt Michaels RVsupplied livingquarters fur the 33 deputies whovolunteered to make the trip.

The deputies agreed to bepaid for eight hours of straighttime for the time they werethere.

"Most would have gone withno pay," Evans said. "They werecommitted to do something."

Evans said he hopes to bereimbursed through theFederal Emergency¥anagement Agency but isconcerned that there might beaproblem because he leftwithout authorization fromGov. Jennifer Granholm.

< "From my perspective wehad a request from anotherpolice agency or group ofpolice agencies," he said."When we were gearing up, wewere in constant contact withthem. We knew there would besome kind of coordination thatwould make sense. We starteddoWn based on that."

Corporate band finalist in competition

Lead guitarist Bryan Stapp knew from the first band practiceeight months ago that he'd hooked up with some of the finestmusicians around. Stapp together with Brian Macias on leadvocals and rhythm goitar, Brian Jeffery on drums, and EricRowland, bass, definitely rock - and they're not the only onesthat think so.

In mid-July, The Loaners took the top spot in the FOR-TUNE Battle of the Corporate Bands regionals in Columbus,Ohio, and plan to sweep the finals Oct. 8, at the Rock ""d RollHall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland.

They're not quite ready to quit their day jobs at QJlickenLoans and Rock Financial in Livonia, but who knows what thefuture holds for the band. All have played instruments frOIl)anearly age but were more intent on climbing the corporate lad-der in recent years. Stapp picked up the goitar to play RollingStones and Chuck Berry songs in seventh grade while livingin Co.sta Rica. Thday the 43-year-old Northville resident ischief marketing officer for the finance company. Over thepast 25 years, he's collected 11guitars including his favoriteFender Thlecaster.

Definingmentalhealth

Leonard J. McCullochis a Dipiomateof TheAmericanPsychotherapyAssociation. Hecan be reached at(248) 474-2763, Ext. 22.

Several years ago I wasasked to consult with acompany called

Psychodynamic Research,Inc.

They were developing aspecial battery of interviewsand tests to assess upper levelmanagement positions beingconsidered for executive pro-motions in a large ne~papercompany. They were lookingfor indications of mentalhealth, not mental illness.When I asked, "Well, justwhat is mental health?" theother researchers answered,"Well, it's the absence ofmental mness."

More recently one of myreaders pointed out that thearticles in the "Our MentalHealth" column are veryhelpful in learning about themany variations which men~tal illness can take. He hadread the papers on depres-sion and anxiety disorders,posttraumatic stress disorder,learning disabilities, trau-matic brain injury, and soforth.

He said, "If your columnwas to have an article on"mental health", what wouldyou write about?" I answered,"I'd only be able to say it's theabsence of mental illness."

But after reflecting I cameto the conclusion that there is .much more to it. After all,physical health is more thanthe absence of disease andinjury. It requires mainte-nance and safe keepingthrough good living and pre-vention. So too with mentalhealth. It requires mentalhygiene, psychological mind-fulness, and preventionstrategies.

Dr. Sigmund Freud was thefirst to be asked to definemental health. His answerwas, "To do well in the worldof work and love." Dr. CarlMenninger, founder of theMenninger Institute, haswritten the following indefining mental health: theability to deal with reality, thecapacity to adapt to change,the capacity to find more sat-isfaction in giving thanreceiving, the capacity torelate to other people consis-tently, and the capacity tolove.

Furthermore, experts atJohn Hopkins MedicalSchool of Psychiatry pointout the following mentalhealth "ingredients": reducedstress with techniques suchas meditation and exercise,challenge your mind bylearning new skills, and culti-vate satisfying relationships.

The concept of "resilience"is being talked about more inthe mental health field.According to thePsychological Association,resilience is described as theprocess of adapting well inthe face of tragedy, healthcrises, and problems in thework place and at home.Resilience means, "Bouncingback from difficult experi-ences."

A healthy ability toendure and overcome andlearn from tragedy bliildsresilience - and scar tissue issaid to be the strongest type:physically and emotionally.

Steps one can take to buildresilience include: acceptingchange as a part ofliving,nurturing a positive view ofyourself, and tsking care ofyourself physically - ahealthy body can onlyenhance health of the mind.

I think that Dr. Freudoriginally hit the nail on thehead. But we can add to hisconclusion by consideringwhat others since him havesaid. For now, the positionwill be taken that mentalhealth means to be relativelysuccessful in the worlds oflove, work, recreation, spiri~tuality, resilieney, and, toenjoy the journey.

BARNUM OF THEREVOLUTION

But Carson's book is mostinteresting in describing therock scene that revolved 'around Detroit's "HippieKing;' John Sinclair. It wasSinclair, a revolutionary witha taste for marijuana, beatpoetry and modern jazz, whotook over managmeut of thehard-rocking MC5.

"The MC5 was the quintes-sential Detroit band, rhythmand blues-influenced rockand roll," Carson said. "Theywere part of the late '60s, butalso a tribute to the past.When you put a wild bandlike that up there, Sinclairwas the P.T. Barnum of therevolution."

And an entrepreneurialDearborn teacher providedthe perfect venue.• When Russ Gibb returned

from a visit to San Francisco ;and the Fillmore Auditorium,he wanted to start a similarclub in Detroit. When he <-----.'needed talent, he was told hehad to talk with Sinclair.

The MC5 became the houseband at the Grande Ballroom,which became the place to befor young Detroiters and thebest local and national bands.

"He (Russ Glbb) moved ~'.everything up a notch," "Carson said. .:

In addition to operating the ~Grande, Gibb also became a ";radio celebrity on WKNR- ,>FM, a rival to Detroit's first ~,

"underground station WABX.As Uoele Russ, he dissected ~:the clues in the "Paul .... ~McCartney is dead" riddle. ;~on tells som", lively sto- ';ries about Detroit's rock mag- "azine Creem, hard ro~ker Ted ~-Nugent, flamboyant AliceCooper, sock hops and headshops, Plum Street and theFifth Estate. The bookincludes an excellent galleryof photos that capture theshifting look of popular musicfrom.the early '50s to 1972,Detroit style.

But it was Motown thatgave Detroit its first nationalidentity. 'Carson devotes achapter to Motown, more toacknowledge the setting forthat other Detroit sound, ablend of rock and rhythm andblues beginning with enter-tainers like Jamie Coe and theGigilos., "He was loaded with talent,"

Carson said of Coe. "At thetime he came along, he couldswing like Bobby Darin orSinatra, but he could alsorock.

He was the first Detroitband that was successful withthe over 21 bar scene."

Coe had several local hits,but he could never break outof the Midwest. Bad recorddistribution and poor man-agement decisions left Coebehind to operate severallocal restaurants.

The first breakout act wasMitch Ryder and the DetroitWheels.

"This was the band thatchanged things," Carson said."Originally as Billy Lee andthe Rivieras, they were thefirst band'to click. Theysigned with Bob Crewe. Theywere the first band to have bighits with Jenny Take a Ride,Devil WithA Blue Dress.There was that heavy rhythmand blues influence in theirrock and roll."

Ryder was a charismatic,handsome rock star backed bya dynamite band with innova-tive lead guitarist JimMcCarty. Carson quotessomeone as saying they mighthave become an AmericanRolling Stones. But managerBob Crewe, who had made ,stars of the New Jersey bandthe Four Seasons, began sepa-rating Ryder from his band.

"He wanted to make Mitcha nightclub star," Carson said."That was the mindset thatCrewe had. He broke theband up."

Ryder never achieved thesame kind of success again. Itis a story that repeats itself

Eric Rowland firmly believesall of the work will payoff onOct. 8 when the winner receivesthe honor of having their nameposted for one year in the Hallof Fame along with beiugfea-tored in a special section ofFortune Magazine's Dec. 12issue.

Randi Schreiber found yoga sorelaxing to do with her infant twinsthat two years later the FarmingtonHills mother signed up for a classwith Beverly Price at CongregationBeth Shalom in Oak Park.

Even though the session is calledYoga for Mom and Baby, a fathercould benefit as well from learningposes to de-stress and bond withchildren. In addition to quietingparents, yoga calms babies and inolder children encourages develop-ment of healthy habits, confidenceand creativity, <

"I've done yoga even when preg-nant;' said Randi Schreiber. "It'sgood to start young because kids aresuch sponges and it's a good learn-ing experience. When they werebabies they just laid there, but didgreat. They really enjoyed it as I diddifferent stretches with them."

Price's classes follow the teachingsof Helen Garabedian's book ItsyBitsy Yoga which includes morethan 75 poses and techniques forbabies from three weeks to 24months. Two one~time sessions atescheduled 10:30-11:30 a.m ..Wednesday, Sept. 21, (for 6-12months) and 10:30-11:30 a.m.Wednesday, Sept. 28 (13-30months). The cost is $25.

USING STEROIDSIN ARTHRITIS

In treating JOintand muscle conditions, sterOids play an Integral role. Because of the abuse ofsterOids by athletes, and the expose of lacing patent mediCines With cortisone, thiS type ofmedicatIOn often carries a connotation of bl'ing dangerous for long term use and carrYing a heavyhazard even If taken for a short time.

ThiS reputation for cortisone contains a grain of truth, but for the most part is wrong Theattitude toward steroids IS more harmful than the nsks that accompany the medication.

Steroids are excellent anti-inflammatory drugs When correctly used, they cannot be equaled byany substitute therapy. A part of nearly every physIcian's training focuses on the indications forsteroids, their proper dosage, and when to stop their use

You should also know that steroids come m oral and Injectable forms. Concern about cortisoneneeds to be greater when you are takmg steroids by mouth. In thIs form the medicine reaches thewhole body and can cause Side effects that affect the eyes, lungs, stomach and skm. However,steroids by injection do not have thiS effect as Injectable sterOids are formulated to act locally InJomts, tendons or muscles

Furthermore, It1jeetable forms, If used agam, usually follow a pattern of months betweeninjections Such a length between lt1]ectlons means that even traces of prevIous steroids are longout of the body, making a cumulative effect Impossible

It is a great feeling to seechil-dren complete their homeworkall on their own. Yet, some-times, they need a little help.Keep working toward expand-ing their independence. Whenyou get involved with home-work, help without hovering. Awatched pot takes forever toboil. Instead of sitting right nextto your child, give yourself aproject close by. Roll coins, bal-ance your checkbook, or cleansomething.

By having an alternate focus,you give your kids breathingroom to think, struggle andcome up with solutions of theirown. By keeping your aware-ness on helping your childrenhelp themselves, you'll sidestephostility and establish a moreproductive learning environ-ment at home.

llisha's mom was tired of thedisrespect, so she did her emo-tional homework. She decidedwhat actions she could take toproduce better results. Now sheonly helps with homeworkwhen llisha remains respectful.She said, "Trisha, I hear howfrustrated you are feeling withthis assignment. I cannot behelpful to you when I'm treatedwith disrespect.

Theyneed someone who will believein their ability to pull it togetherin the long run. They need aparent who allows them to feellike they still belong even whenthey aren't doing well at school.They need a parent who focuseson any attempts at improve-ment.

Section E

Chelten said the homeowner will have $31,000 in equity in thehome at time of buyback.

Out of 55 clients, only one has been evicted or failed to com-plete the buyback transaction, Chelten said.

For more information on Marketplace Homes, LLC visit itsWeb site at www.marketplace.com.

As a cautionary measure, Brown advises homeowners to checkwith the Better Business Bureau Office of Financial andInsurance Services to ensure the mortgage lender they have cho-sen is legitimate.

The office can be reached at (877) 999-6442. .,

does not get disrupted:Chelten offered the following scenario on how the program

works: The owner of a house appraised at $200,000 is in foreclo-sure and owes $160,000 to a lending institution. Marketplacewill tack on an estimated $5,000 for closing costs and purchasethe home for $165,000. Once the now-lessee clears his/her creditand is approved for a mortgage, Marketplace will sell the homeback for $189,000 and net a $24,000 investment fee or profit.

In the meantime. the lessee pays $1,850 a month for the first12 months and $1,924 a month for the remaining 12 months tolease the home.

Accounting for an estimated 5 percent annual appreciation,

The belief"bad things happen to good people" is what got DickChelten thinking how to give people in danger oflosing theirhomes another chance.

His company, Marketplace Homes LLC, purchases "nice homesin nice ueighborhoods" in foreclosure and leases them back to theowner. Once the now-lessee's credit is repaired with the help ofMarketplace's credit repair specialists, they can buy it back with-in 24 months.

There is, however, a price to pay. The owner is responsible forclosing costs, a 6 percent real estate fee, a 3 percent "acquisitionfee" and a 15 percent investor fee - on top of the monthly leasepayment. And, the lessee is responsible for all repairs and main-tenance to the home during the lease period.

"This is not Christmas. This is not a gift. This is a working rela-tionship where we both get what we want," Chelten, a licensedRealtor, said of the sale/leaseback program.

However, there are others in the mortgage business that ques-tion sale/leaseback programs that are now being offered by sever-al companies statewide.

"Those kinds of transactions are fraught with a lot of risks forthe homeowner; there are unscrupulous operators that are takingadvantage of homeowners;' said Murray BroWIl, director ofdevelopment for the Michigan Mortgage Lenders Association.

Brown said the association has been discussing sale/leasebackprograms and confirmed there is nothing "illegal" about them.However, they question if companies offering these programs areoffering full disclosure. .

"The concern of the association is that people who are enteringsuch agreements do not know in some cases they have sold theirhouse to the company that is offering this service," he said. 'Wewant to make sure that people in foreclosure - who are verystressed to begin with - are reading the documents carefullyenough:'

Chelten said Marketplace thoroughly explains the process topotential clients and does not offer the service to everyone seek-ing help. Some people, he said, do not have the required 20 per-cent equity in their homes, the income to make lease payment orthe desire to stay m theIr homes.

"Wl' need to see <;nnweqmty in the deal to make it n."d.<:.onablefor them to say it's worth being in the house," he said, adding theprocess is all confidential.

erty is sold "as is."However,you still have a right to do aninspection. If you take thisoption, yon can still normallyget out of the purchase agree-ment if a problem during theinspection pops up. What thismeans to you, is that even ifthere is something wrong inthe honse, which you find dur-ing an inspection, thatalthough the purchase agree-ment says that the property issold "as is" it is still negotiable.Yon can llSk for the property tobe fixed by the bank or you canrequest a repair allowance.

Is it worth all the trouble?You need to determine whatthe market value is of the prop-erty you are interested in. Haveyour Realtor do a marketanaly~is. Factor in the costsinvolved if you have to pay forsignificant repair.The views expressed in this columnare SOlely those of the author,

The number of bank-ownedhomes for sale haveincreased significantly in

Michigan. Here are factors toconsider if you wish to buy one.

Keep in mind that banksdon't want to give away theirproperties. If a house/condo isbelow market value there usu-ally is a reason why. If you buya foreclosed home you canoften get a good deal, but thereare usually more hurdles thatyou need to go through than ifyou buy a non-bank-ownedhome.

Here are some possible pit-falls to watch for:

• When buying a bank-owned home often the earnestmoney deposit is held by thelisting office, rather than theselling office. Normally, thedeposit is held by the sellingoffice, which is the office thatrepresents the buyer. If theoffice that represents the bankholds the buyers' deposit. itmeans that buyers have lesscontrol getting their moneyback if something bad hap-pens. .

• Usually when your find a:property that you make anoffer on, the purchase agree-ment that you will use will.favor you. However, when youmake an offer on a bank ownedproperty you :will, most likely,use the bank's purchase agree-ment, which will favor them.Keep in mind that no matterwhat the purchase agreementsays almost everything is negn-tiable. .

• The purchase agreementwill normally say that the prop-

2006 Lexus RX 400h is a wise investment

~OEoe3703't6

Write Dave Menard at avantil054@aol.com.

headlights, programmable garage door opener, are allstandard. Also standard is an integrated navigationsystem with rear back up camera (which should bestandard on every car), Bluetooth, voice activation,and the above mentioned energy use meters for thehybrid engine.

The standard audio system is six-disc CD system,combined with an AM/FM tuner and six speakers.An upgraded Mark Levinson system (Mark Levinsonis a company that produces high-end audio-videoequipment for the home tlieater market) is availableand it sounds wonderfuL A rear-seat DVD entertain-ment system is available for when the kids are drivingyou bonkers.

Even thoJlght the kids may be driving you bonkers,you still might want to protect them, and there are somesolid safety features on the RX 400h. It comes with dri-ver's knee airbag, front seat mounted side impactairba-gs, and front and rear side curtain shield airbags.You'll alsp get a theft deterrent system, and a full-sizedspare tire.

Saving the environment in this kind of style doesn'tcome cheap - the RX 400h starts at about $48,500.Add the rear DVD system, upgraded audio and,the heat-ed se.ats and you're a little over $50,000. But this is aLexus, and you're getting great mileage with an suv.And maybe that tax credit will help.

<,

2006 Lex~s 400h. Vehicle class: Special purpose. Where built: Kyushu, Japan. Mileage: 31/27. Base price:;';',$48, 535. Price as tested: $52, 703 "

setup performs very well.The ride is smooth and quiet, as you would expect

from a Lexus. The suspension system consists of aMcPhersdn strut system with coil springs up front, anddual link struts With coil springs in the rear. Lexus hasgiven the RX 400h what it calls a Vehicle DynamicsIntegrated Management System (\jDIM) to handle andcoordinate stability, traction mana*e.ment and brakingfunctions. The Electronically Cont~olled Brake system(EBS) controls the others and wJ1lcorrect vehicle behav-ior before it becomes unstable (now how do we get thefunction for people?). The system functions very well;braking is excellent and the vehicle handles quite welL

Power rack-and-pinion steering is standard. Theturning circle is a bit large, but this is, after all, stillandSUV.

:Being an SUV; there's plenty of room for cargo, bothhumau and otherwise. With the rear seats folded down,you can get almost 85 cu.ft.of cargo room. Leg, head andshoulder room are plentiful. The power leather seatsadjust 10 ways, for the driver, and eight ways for thepassenger, and '\re quite comfortable; it's easy to getgood driving position. Heated front seats are an option.There are plenty of cupholders and a center consolestorage box.

The RX 400h is full ofluxury features, so you'recomfortable while you save the environment. Dual cli-mate control system, power windows and locks, powertilt-steering wheel, moonroof, cruise control, automatic

Auto columnist Anne FraclUlsa is at Henry FordHospital in Detroit. This week's column is written byDave Menard, her colleague at Avanti NewsFeatures, '

Here's a news flash: gasoline prices are sky high andshow no signs of dropping any time soon. That meansyou might have to ditch your SUV in favor of somethingsmaller, right? Not necessarily, friend. You can get goodmileage in an SUV, plus get a tax credit, with the 2006Lexus RX 400h.

The RX 400h is a gasoline-electric engine hybrid(hence the "h" after the 400 model number) and assuch, qualifies for a tax credit under the WorkingFamilies Relief Aet of 2004. I'm not going to play taxadvisor here, but ifyou're interested in the RX 400h,you might want to speak to your tax man about whetheryou can get that $2,000 credit.

Tax issues taken care of, let's get to the RX 400hitself. The RX 400h is a midsized SUV and has a sharp,clean look. It comes with HID headlamps with auto lev-eling, fog lamps integrated into the front bumper, powerliftgate, an integrated rear spoiler, privacy glass, roofrack and graphite polished aluminum alloy wheels.

The hybrid' engine is a combination of a 3.3-Iiter V6gasoline engine and a pair of electronically-drivenmotors, and delivers a combined horsepower of 268 and212 lb.-ft. of torque at 4400 rpm, while still EPA ratedat 31/27 mpg. The batteries that charge the electric partof the engine are recharged during normal driving, andyou can monitor the engine status on a screen in thedash. The RX400h comes with a electronically-con-trolled continuously variable transmission, with plane-tary gear unit for gear reduction and power splitting,and electronic all-wheel drive control. There's just theslightest hesitation if you mash the accelerator, anddownshifting back into the lower gears is slightly morenoticeable, but for normal driving and passing, the
