Organizers try to pair t eams of similar abilities in each division. Ability va r i e s q u i t e a lot f rom player to player on each team, Foust said.

Public •ducMkxi. None at tiw R«cublican candidates support public school* as much as I do. No public money into prvate achools. 2 Environment. My «as at-Meybury Slate Parti recently The 0rinking water was brown and I ha leaders found It was high in bacteria 3. Long range jXannwf. instead ol gotng from crises to crises.

Improve the environment lor businesses !n Michigan. The small business ta* needs to be revised to alleviate its burdensomeness Communities currently compete with one another to attract larger businesses by giving ta* abatements. I would introduce legislation prohibiting ta* abatements Employees with seniority ot 5 or more years deserve greater job security than Michigan's at-will employment provides.

Government is too big. too inefficient and too intrusive in Our lives. I will dq the hard work and the homework, and worfc with res»dents. local officials and Republican leaders to cut taxes, reduce government: improve our aging infrastructure: and protect and promote educational opportunities and excellence

My overriding legislative priority is to guard against excessive, unnecessary Intrusion ot government into the family, educational and business lives of the people of Michigan. Government must reserve the rights and authority of individuals tb make the proper and approonate decisions in their lives. 1 hope to add to my record rn defense of individual rights end limited, effective government

My legislative priorities will continue to be: ending minority preference programs, further reducing the state ta* burden, and assuring that western Wayne County receives its fair share of road repair dollars. I plan to achieve these goals using the same Ingredient I use in Ml my projects: hard work.

Men an* Friends lead* I have «6r*ed really hard seven days a week on the proposal to allow mentally competent terminally ill adults, the right to initiate and end unbearable pain and suffering through self-administered physic lanprescnbed medication.

Assisted a cituens group in Canton in a successful attempt to obtain a reduced speed limit on their residential street from 40 mph to 25 mpiv.Represented a citizens group to obtain an increased criminal sentence for individuals responsible for killing Vincent Chin. The effort resulted in the adoption of sentencing .guidelines by Michigan courts.

Yea, I support the arts. I do not support the bills on suparm*orit, I believe It will be found uncomtkutlwul. I believe m one-person, one-vote It s a campaign strategy thai looks good, no one wants to pay taxes

I do not believe in public funding of the arts via property taxes. Homeowners already pay*enough taxes The « t i should be funded via subscriptions and donations. Public funding leads to censorship If the public finances tha arts. H has the right to decide what will be subsidized.

I oppose reaming supermaiorities for selective issues It is anti-democratic. Why didn't the Republicans require a superma»ority to amend the PERA, an amendment aimed at eroding the collective bargaining rights of teachers They only support supermaiorities for measures that preserve the status quo for their special .nterests

I've done everything I pledged to do I put anti-tax supermaiority legislation on voters ballots: demolished and developed the county 's abandoned Northville property: allowed communities to avoid the transit tax. stopped the Willow Run Tradeport; cut the commission s budget and perks and co-wrote the toughest county ethics ordinance in the country

Author and pnncipal sponsor of Michigan laws that permanently increase the personal tax exemption, allow the trial of 14 and 15 year olds as adults in violent crimes, ban partial birth abortions and several other landmark laws.

I led the fight to abolish Detroit's Recorder Court, giving voters in western Wayne County the right to vote for all circuit judges who preside over them I also initiated two historic lawsuits against the University of Michigan, for its discriminatory admissions policies In an attempt to keep neighborhoods safe from sexual predators. I have posted the convicted sex offender list for western Wayne County on my Web page

I oppose tax Increases to fund anything. Government already has enough of our money to provide necessary services. If government doesn't appropriately prioritize spending, it is a failure of political will for which the taxpayers must not be made to foot the bill.

I don t believe so. Government's track record in evaluating appropnate arts project funding has been questionable — as is the idea that government should evaluate art at all. Foundations and private sources do a better job: if government can help them do so. It should.

Absolutely not. All citizens have Afferent tastes in music, art and culture Government should not use state tax dollars to favor one form of cultural entertainment over another

Super io r i ty legislation protects your paycheck from tax-hungry politicians Michigan s constitution mandates a majority to raise taxes This is a Hoor. not a ceiling. You retain the right to decide how bag a maiority,is required to raise taxes, If supermajorities weren t constitutional. Democrats wouidn t be fighting to keep them off the ballot

A case can be made that taxation is a structural question of government, and many such questions require more than a simple maionty for passage — including veto overrides and immediate effect Such requirements have long stood the test of "one man, one vote' as has the U S Senate

I support measures that make it harder to raise taxes

DEMOCRATS:

Fred B olden 43 Canton Township Protect manager with AT&T Received bachelor of science degree m criminal justice and master of science in computer information science from the University of Detroit.

Thomas Harxnett 52 Canton Township Special assistant prosecuting attorney. Wayne County Friend of the Court Received bachelor of arts degree from Wayne State University and a juris doctor. Detroit College of Law

David Parrot t 38 Van Buren Township Attorney representing public employee retirement systems Bachelor in general studies degree from the University of Michigan and juris doctor from Wayne State University Law School

John Sullivan Wayne Practicing attorney in Wayne, in process of leaving job with UAW Legal Services. Received bachelor of arts from University of Michigan in health care administration and juns doctor from University of Detroit.

Crime: We need to increase community Involvement to reduce crime in tome erf Detroit $ neighborhoods t would after youth prevention programs, including social responsibility courses from K-12. mandatory self-esteem training and more recreational outlets. Affordable medical care: Coordinate financial support for prevention programs to avoid duplication of services and increased support for health education.

The biggest single problem facing Wayne County is the number of children living in poverty or near poverty in single-parent families. I intend to support the new family court and the merger of Juvenile Court with the family court. I will focus on collecting all due child support and safeguarding custodial and noncustodial parents rights.

Without question, infrastructure and services. It's no secret that Wayne County roads are afnong the worst m the nation. In many cases, repairs simply aren't enough. Long-term thinking requires that we break the cycle of temporary repairs and rebuild roads where necessary. Maintenance of our drains needs to be emphasized to prevent further deterioration.

Two of the biggest problems at this time are the conditions of the roads and the status of the airport. As a commissioner. I would push for the immediate repair of our roads and I would push for more weekend^nd evening repairs.

I feel 11 would be my responsibility to work with the county executive and with all the commissioners to move forward protects in the development and implementation stage forward. I would participate in related activities and try to show my leadership skills.

I expect to make constructive demands on the time of the County Executive and his administration, and I will be accessible to him. I will be issue-oriemed and try to avoid namecaiimg and turf wars. I will be specific In requests for his efforts on bettaif of the people in the 11th District

I expect to work closely with the county executive, but I also expect the county executive to work closely with the commission toward the common betterment of Wayne County. Effective action is accomplished only through cooperation among the branches of government. The county executive, who proposed policy, has the duty of faithfully implementing policies that are established by the commission.

I will do whatever is necessary as a commissioner to work with the executive in a manner that would be most beneficial to Wayne County. I foresee no problems In working with the county executive since we will both be working towards the same goals of improving our county.

Yas. because we are still in need ot a new Juvenile justice faculty and programs for the adult prison population. I would make sure that the monies that are asked for on Aug 4 will be used for building a modem Juvenile just ice-facility with programs that will foster self motivation and improvement.

Yes, I support the millage renewals for the jails. It was necessary to build a new jail (Dickerson facility in Hamtramck) to relieve severe overcrowding in the Wayne County Jail. Judge Richard Kaufman had determined that overcrowding In the Wayne County Jail violated prisoners rights Thus, it is necessary for us to pay the ongoing maintenance costs for more tail space

Yes. provide^ the renewal is property applied to its stated purpose. Vigorous enforcement of laws and prosecution of criminals by the Sheriff's Department and the Prosecutor s Office has resulted in the decrease in crime, making Wayne County a better and safer place to live To house and rehabilitate Criminals, and ultimately deter crime, the necessary facilities must be built and maintained.

Yes. We need to expar-d the Wayne County Jails and detention facilities so that criminals are no longer set free due to inadequate jail space

At this time I would not want to cut taxes, but I would want to know where all the money is being spent, this can be done by an audit. We are in need to keep the airport protect moving forward, the roads need m*or work and justice system are in need of monies. I support the supermaiority tax increase If it's passed by voters.

I think the amount of tax levied by Wayne County is adequate and should not be cut. I do not think the ngttt people are paying them. Developers and businesses need to pay more of their fair share and residential property owners less or the same Oakland County may levy a smaller rate, but the assessed value of the property Is higher and Oakland County has less people. , . „

*

Let's analyze this issue: Oakland County assesses " four mills on an SEV of $35.2 billion to serve 1.1 • » million residents Wayne not quile twice as much ' on a smaller SEV of $31.5 billion to provide for roughly twice as many residents. Macomb County 's SEV Is about half of Wayne County's. but Its population is oftly about a third as large.

I have no problem with the county 's current tax levy Wayne County has much more to offer as well as a larger population than Oakland or Macomo counties, therefore requiring the higher tax, I believe that the county should improve on parks and recreation services and create more programs for children.

REPUBLICAN:

Melissa McLaughlin 41 Canton Coordinator of constituent services for Commissioner Bmce Patterson Canton trustee since 1992 Received a bachelor of science degree in education-special education from Eastern Michigan University.

Certainly the tax rate (7.9 mills, plus one for Jails. 1 /4 for parks for a total of 9.15) Is a countywide concern Roads also are at the forefront of everyone's concern. Cities and townships alike are not Included in the present policy. A formula should be developed which determines the annual road dollar allocations for communities, and where the communities participate in the prioritization of road improvement planning.

As It won't be determined who the county executive is until after Nov. 3.1 have no preconceived ideas about my working relationship I as a county commissioner will have with the county executive. I expect an atmosphere of mutual respect and cooperation, but such an atmosphere does not mean that I won't ask the hard questions and that any abuses I observe won t be identified and brought to light

No. I do not support the renewal. Communities, after paying this millage. are required to pay yet again a per diem rate to house their prisoners The administration has ^ r e e d to work wrth local police departments to fund prisoner housing outcounty at a •volume rate," but rt remains a quest ion if the citizens of Wayne County have gotten then money 's worth from this millage

I think the millage rates are too high The county can improve services, with or without budget cuts, Satellite offices for clerk, treasurer and registrar of deeds located in a western suburb would be a small step toward providing better customer service to the taxpayers. Merging of departments should be examined All bids/contracts should be awarded on the best job for the best value basis without any bias concerning race, location, sex or creed

Reps discuss road money, tobacco tax, foreign policy - A suburban audience usually hears one U.S. representative at • time.

So the l i s tening becomes all the more interesting when you hear two.

The first was Rep. Joe Knol-lenberg, R-Bloomfield Township, S third-term member who serves en the Appropriations Commit-tee tha t wri tes spending bills. H e ta lked in h i s F a r m i n g t o n Hills office. H i s 11th Dis t r ic t covers sou thwes te rn Oak land /County and Redford Township and threerfourths of Livonia in Wayne County. He had been in the insurance business.

Rep. Lynn Rive r s , D - A n n Arbor, also is a third-term mem-ber who serves on the Budget, Science and Corrections commit-tees. She spoke from her Con-gressional office in Washington D.C. Her 13th District contains portions of Wayne and Washte-naw count ies , i nc lud ing one-fourth of Livonia, Garden City, P lymou th and W e s t l a n d , a n d C a n t o n and P l y m o u t h t o w n -ships.

K n o l l e n b e r g : "A lot of hard work by a lot of people. In 1997 I voted against taking transporta-tion out of the budget and was c r i t i c i zed for v o t i n g a g a i n s t money for Michigan roadB. I did tha t because it would have killed the balanced budget agreement

we had just signed, "There was a consor t ium of

midwes t s t a t e s t h a t h u n g together. We said we don't have rail or underground transit. But we have bridges, and we drive. Massachusetts had been getting $2, $3 or $4 for every $1 paid in ." He g a v e m u c h c red i t to Engler as well a s represen ta -t ives and s e n a t o r s from both parties.

R ive r s : "We didn't get lucky relative to the other states. We didn't get rid of the equity for-mula.

"While M i c h i g a n got more money, we d i d n ' t ge t more money in relat ion to the other states. It was a victory because Congress got more money, and everybody got more money."

Q. E v e r y d a y o n t h e T V n e w s , t o b a c c o c o m p a n i e s h a v e c o m m e r c i a l s s a y i n g , "Write to y o u r c o n g r e s s m a n " t o o p p o s e b i l l i o n s in p r o -p o s e d t o b a c c o t a x e s . A r e y o u r c o n s t i t u e n t s w r i t i n g ? And w h a t is y o u r view?

K n o l l e n b e r g : "I can tell you how I feel, and my constituents say the same thing. I oppose tax increases, period, whether it's on

beer or cigarettes. I've been look-ing to reduce taxes.

"This tobacco bill was sup-posed to have been a done deal last year, a t $368 billion. Then the poli t icians got hold of it -S e n . J o h n McCain (R-Ariz . ) . They kicked it up from 368 to $516 billion. Tha t ' s p u r e tax . Here's the hypocrisy of it: These people were s a l i va t i ng a t t h e money. They said i t ' s for the children; we want to keep them f r o m s m o k i n g . C h i l d r e n will smoke if you charge $10 a pack.

"You don ' t get any r e v e n u e unless people smoke. They want people to 8moke. They're raising taxes on the lowest percentile of workers . Something should be done about curbing teen smok-ing. I t (new revenue) iB in the administrat ion's budget, not in ours (Congress').

" W h e n ' s t h e l a s t t i m e you h e a r d C l in ton say a n y t h i n g about drugs? ..."

Rivers : "Yes. A lot of them are responding to the tobacco ads and saying, '1 can ' t afford the taxes.*

"We don't know what the bill is go ing to look l ike in t h e H o u s e . I imag ine we'l l know more w h e n we r e t u r n in

Riven

August... "I don't have a problem with

the tobacco companies paying for the liabilities and costs associat-ed with their activities. If we ask the tobacco companies to change its advertising strategy, I don't have a problem with that either.

"What I have a problem with is a genera l tax on c igare t tes and the money is spent on pro-g rams directed to the general populat ion, such as child care

p r o g r a m s or a n e d u c a t i o n a l building. I'm not very comfort-a b l e when a s m o k e r — who tends to be a low income person — is famnring something direct-ed to a higher income person. I have problem with tobacco rev-enue becoming another revenue s t ream for government. I don't think that's correct.

"What costs a re imposed on tobacco companies will be 'pass-through ' costs onto consumers, whether it is taxes, losses or civil l iabili ty. Tha t will be paid for with price increases on tobacco products."

Q. At any t ime , p e o p l e a r e f l o a t i n g a d o z e n i d e a s f o r c o n s t i t u t i o n a l a m e n d m e n t s . In March 1992 Gov.

Area code change 734 goes into effect Saturday

Starting Saturday, people out-side the 734 area must dial 1 + 734 before entering the sevens digit telephone phone number.

Telephones in western Wayne County, Washtenaw County and Monroe County now are included under the 734 area code.

G r e a t e r Detroit r e t a i n s t h e 313 area code. This area includes H a m t r a m c k , Highland P a r k , Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, the d t y of Detroit, Redford, Melvin-dale, Allen Park, Lincoln Park, Ecorse , River Rouge, H a r p e r Woods, the Grosse Pointes and p o r t i o n s of Inks t e r , T a y l o r . Romulus and Westland.

Dialing 734 has been optional a ince t h e 734 a r ea code w a s placed in service Dec. 13. Begin-ning July 25, callers who do not u se the 734 a rea fcode w h e n

required will h e a r a recording telling them they need to dial the call again using 734.

B u s i n e s s c u s t o m e r s a r e encouraged to test their internal phone system to determine if it recognizes the new area code. Older business phone sys tems may not be e q u i p p e d or pro-grammed to accept the newer a rea codes. Unt i l 1995, a r ea codes always had a "1" or "0" as the middle digit. But because the supply of old codes has been depleted, new area codes have middle digits that use the num-bers "2" through "9."

To tes t the i r sys tems , busi-nesses can call 1 (734) 253-9717. Ca l l e r s will h e a r a m e s s a g e telling them their call has been completed successfully. Failure to reach t h e m e s s a g e m e a n s

phone equipment may need to be reprogrammed, upgraded or replaced. In tha t event, busi-ness owners shou ld c o n t a c t their phone equipment suppli-er for more information.

The 734 area code was added because southeast Michigan is r u n n i n g ou t of t e l e p h o n e exchanges, the telephone com-pany sa id . The explosion of telecommunicat ions services, i nc lud ing p a g e r s , c e l l u l a r phones, fax machines and com-puter modems, has created the need for additional area codes across the country. More than 95 area codes have been intro-duced in the U.S. since 1995.

For in format ion abou t the new area code, customers can call 1(800)831-8989.

On the court: Ben Maibach HI, chairman of the board of the YMCA of Metro Detroit, is a Redford Township native and 20-yeqr-resi-dent o){Farm-ington Hills. He has been a YMCA mem-ber for the past quarter century, and he still still plays rac-quetball weekly at the Farmington YMCA.

Maibach eyes strong role for Metro Y As in his professional life as

p res iden t and CEO of Bar ton Malow, Ben Maibach III, chair-man of the board of the YMCA of Metro Detroit, has a master plan for tha t organizat ion, but he's keeping the pa r t i cu la r s under wraps.

"I do have ideas, but I'm using d i sc re t ion p u t t i n g t o g e t h e r a s t ra teg ic p lan ," said Maibach d u r i n g an i n t e r v i e w in h i s Southfield office in the American Center Building.

B a r t o n Malow, one of t h e biggest construction contractors in the country, generated $750 mil l ion wor th of b u s i n e s s in more than 20 states last year. Its impr in t locally is eve rywhere f rom the Joe Louis A r e n a in downtown Detroit to Royal Oak's William Beaumont Hospital.

One gets the impression tha t big things are also in store for t h e me t ro YMCA d u r i n g Maibach's tenure as board chair-man, a | M

• 'Many people still equate the Y to swimming and athletics. It's so much more now. Our pro-grams have expanded for youth, teens, and in the daycare area. It's really a community-driven orga-nization.'

Ben Maibach, chairman , YMCA Metro Board of Directors

T

last April.

" 'Strong kids, strong families, and strong communities,' That's the motto of the YMCA," said Maibach, a Redford native and 20-year-resident of Farmington Hills.

A member of the YMCA Board of Trustees for 15 years and vari-ous execut ive commit tees the last half dozen years, Maibach has been a YMCA member for the past quarter century.

He s t i l l p l a y s r a c q u e t b a l l weekly a t t h e F a r m i n g t o n YMCA, often with Kevin Bush,

X he executive d i r e c t o r of t h e b r a n c h on Farmington Road north of 12

Mile . And Maibach l ikes the Wellness Center there.

"When I first got on the board, I got insight on what was going on at tha t time. The "Y" is 145 years old nationally, and always has been fairly strong in Detroit. In t h e pas t few years , a lot of positive things have happened.

"Many people still equate the "Y" to sh imming and athletics. It's so much more now. Our pro-grams have expanded for youth, teens, and in the daycare area. It 's really a community driven organization."

The Metro Detroit YMCA is

growing. This past yea r , two i n d e p e n d e n t o p e r a t i o n s , t h e North Oakland (Rochester) and t h e Mt . C l e m e n s b r a n c h e s , joined the metro group.

"Independents don't have the resources we do," said Maibach, adding tha t the metro consor-tium now includes 18 operations in t h r e e coun t ies : O a k l a n d . Macomb and Wayne.

The old downtown De t ro i t YMCA bu i ld ing b r o u g h t t h e organization $5 million in a sale to make way for the new Tiger Stadium. A new building will be erected somewhere downtown.

"We will be work ing w i t h (Detroit) Mayor Dennis Archer and (Wayne) County Executive Ed McNamara once the casino issue is settled," Maibach said. The YMCA board of d i rec tors doesn ' t wan t to be ne ighbors with a gambling institution, he said.

tive of all the hospitality and the volunteers last year," she said. "We want to keep our reputation of being good hosts.*

L a s t y e a r t h e r e w a s some rescheduling of assignments due to help shortages early on, she said, but by the end, "we had enough local volunteers."

As a resu l t , more e m p h a s i s h a s been placed t h i s y e a r on recruit ing ful l-shif t volunteers for the event, which runs 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through T h u r s d a y and 8:30 a .m. to 1 p.m. for Friday's concluding ses-sions.

"But we try to be as flexible as possible," she said. "If a person can only work part of a day, we try to be accommodating."

For example, eight slots still are open for either scorekeepera or scorerunners the morning of Wednesday , Aug. 5, she said, because the young people who volunteered can only work the afternoon.

Also being s o u g h t a re mer-chandise-sel lers to ass is t with sales of T-shir ts and NAA logo merchandise du r ing the lunch break, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. each day and "floaters," one per day, to fill in on other activities as needed.

There's also a need for score-runners (30 volunteers per day) and score-keepers and day camp assistants. «.

al Archery Association (NAA), which runs the tournament.

All vo lun teers get a compli-mentary NAA T-shirt.

"Some of these positions are p a r t i c u l a r l y a t t r a c t i v e to teenagers," Salla said. For exam-ple, by working the tourney, they are performing community ser-vice hours for future class credit.

" I t ' s been a p p r o v e d by t h e Close-Up c o o r d i n a t o r s a t the schools," Salla said.

Also, those planning to attend college can list their participa-tion as volunteer activity on col-lege and s cho l a r sh ip appl ica-tions.

Of course, they can do it just to have fun - which is what at least

two senior citizens did last year and are volunteering to do again this year.

Sharon Chain and Ruth Moyer of C a n t o n , both P lymou th natives who are longtime friends and former co-workers who hap-pened to r e t i r e the same year (1996) f rom NBD Bank, sa id they looked forward to volun-teering again for the tourney.

In fact, both already work as volunteers a t the Summit on The P a r k , and C h a i n was a s k i n g Salla, the volunteer coordinator, about it two months before the invitations to last year's volun-teers even went out.

Because both like to walk for exercise, t hey volunteered for

one day as score r u n n e r s l as t year "and wound up working the entire week," she said.

Both made f r i e n d s f rom around the country and volun-teered to work regis t ra t ion on Sunday partially so they could see them again.

They recommend volunteering at the tourney to other seniors "because it'« not strenuous," said Moyer. "You can have a ait-down job, you can have a walking job r

there are all kinds of jobs seniors can do."

Besides, "It's fun. We felt real-ly proud tha t Canton hosted a national event, with people here from all over the world."

T h e road would be very, very uphill because, with the budget balanced, there's reduced reason for i t . As long a s t h e r e ' s a Republican-led Congress, you'll see it balanced.

"Of all the amendments, a bal-anced budge t is my f a v o r i t e , knowing full well tha t amending the Constitution is very difficult.

"Clinton, the lamest of lame-ducks, wants to increase taxes by $150 bi l l ion, s p e n d i n g by $125 billion and add 85 new pro-grams. That's the here and now."

R i v e r s : "I voted fo r t h e s ta tute to see if it would stand up in court...

"Actual ly I am exceeding ly conservative with the Constitu-t ion . . . I t h i n k our f o u n d i n g fathers got it right, there would have to be a real compelling rea-son to go into this sacred docu-ment."

K n o l l e n b e r g : "Well, we did. (The House-passed bill is in the Senate.) It was Vern Ehlers' (R-Grand Rapids) bill."

Rivers : "I serve on the Science Committee and heard some tes-timony from the National Ethics Committee. Given the propensi-ty for abuse, we need govern-ment guidelines...

"I don't have a problem with a ban. I was concerned tha t a ban may stop other research...I have a s t a f f e r in a whee l cha i r who heard testimony on a ban for any tissue-related research. He was flabbergasted...

"It should be a s t a t e issue. Fifty s ta tes have a lower BAC level right now. They ought to enforce the laws they've got."

Rivers : "If I was in the state Legislature, I would support it. We should leave it to the states and we shouldn't deprive states from doing it."

Kno l l enbe rg : "It's been going on for some time. The Irish thing is more recent. What do you do about the India-Pakistan thing?

"In this community we have a huge number of ethnic groups, a lot of diversity. They tend to be affluent, well educated, and they have links to home. As a presi-dent, you have to appeal to their Americanism first.

"Clinton has tried to appeal to everybody. His foreign policy. I think, is flawed ... He's trying to be seen as a peacemaker -

R i v e r s : "I h a v e n ' t felt any undue pressure from any ethnic group. I'm not s u r e what the U.S News article was about, but there is an interest in Northern Ireland across the country and what spi l lover it might have. Any t ime t h e r e is a poli t ical hotspot, you have people paying attention "

y e a r in r e v e n u e s , " Ma ibach added. "We've seen good growth, a n d t h e r e will be m o r e wi th expansion of programs. Things are going very well for tfWk"Y." We have bridged the t r ans l i on from multiple issues to one key issue. I t ' s t ru ly a community-driven organization."

What started out as the Young Men's Christian Association was primarily known for providing hotels for transient young men in stately downtown buildings across America during the 1920s aj\d 1930s. The YMCA has meta-morphosed into an active force of communi ty life in t h e 1990s? emphasizing activities for men, women and children in every age g roup . Many p r o g r a m s are o f fe red of f - s i t e . The YMCA works with many agencies, such as the Police Athlet ic League and community parks and recre-ation departments.

"We have strong behind-the-scenes par tnersh ips . Our mis-sion is d i f ferent today than it was years ago when we had the large residential facilities which would be costly to run. Today we

serve our communities bet ter . We are now in a position to move strongly forward."

In a joint effort with Chrysler Corp. , a new YMCA building will be constructed in Rochester t h i s yea r . The city of Milford also has plans to build a YMCA facility soon.

Overseeing Barton-Malow con-s t ruc t ion projects in fields as va r i ed as automot ive , h e a l t h c a r e , s p o r t s and educa t ion r e q u i r e s a grea t deal of fore-

thought and planning. Maibach brings that same dedication to his service to the YMCA board.

"It's hard to switch gears and not be yourself," he said.

In addi t ion to t h e YMCA, Maibach is a d i r ec to r of t h e Amer i can Red Cross and a

trustee of New Detroit, Inc. The f a the r of Ryan. 24, a Bar ton-Malow project e n g i n e e r , Maibach has received a w a r d s from the Boy Scouts of America, t h e E n g i n e e r i n g Soc ie ty of Detroit, and an honorary doctor-a t e of e n g i n e e r i n g f rom Lawrence Technological Univer-sity in Southfield.

County executive McNamara, Scott our choices

Arkie Hudkins

On Aug. 4 voters will nomina te candi-dates in the Democratic and Republican races for Wayne County executive.

Given the cur ren t political demographics in < Wayne County, t h e Democratic pr imary is t an tamount to election.

The Democratic race features incumbent E d w a r d H. M c N a m a r a , former mayor of Livonia, and challenger Sharon McPhail, an attorney and unsuccessful candida te for Detroit mayor in 1993. Also on t h e Democratic

ballot is Wallace Serylo of Detroit.

In the Democratic race, we recommend t h a t voters r e tu rn McNamara to a fourth term to finish the job he started near ly 12 years ago.

The McNamara Adminis-trat ion has been the engine for economic growth and fis-cal responsibility in Wayne

Edward McNamara c o u n t y . ft has improved the parks system (western Wayne County tax-payers need only to travel along Hines Drive to see the results), been an advocate for a cleaner environment (Rouge River cleanup and Newburgh Lake restoration) and a cham-pion of public t ransportat ion.

McNamara offers voters a proven track record of get t ing the job done. Unemployment is a t a record low, and crime is down. He has put the county on a solid financial track. He has surrounded himself with, and delegated responsibility to, a diverse, dedicated, hard-working group of people.

He has, however, some unfinished business with airport expansion and renovations and

deserves to be returned to office to finish what he s ta r ted . What happens in the next four years will be his political legacy, and we're confident t h a t he won't disappoint .

McPhail, McNamara 's most viable oppo-nent, is critical of his management or lack thereof a t t h e airport, jail and morgue. Her criticisms may have a certain r ing of well-researched fact. However, it's not hard to find fault with someone who has been in office for 12 years. Although well-spoken and intelli-gent, McPhail falls far short of making the

case for herself as a vision-ary executive. She has nei-ther the broad-based sup-port nor the political experi-ence to get the job done in Wayne County.

McNamara has the expe-rience , vitality and vision to lead Wayne County.

In the Republican race, the Observer recommends Herb Scott of Canton Town-ship. Scott, vice president of

Major Pharmaceut icals of Livonia, serves as t r ea su re r for the GOP in the 13th Congres-sional District.

Scott knows the issues and offers Republi-can voters a credible, intelligent candidate for county executive.

County government is no longer a stuffy courthouse downtown but a v ibrant player in the economy (Metro Airport) and the environ-ment (Hines Park/Rouge River/Newburgh Lake' .

Be a player; don't get left on the sidelines. Take t ime to vote on Tuesday, Aug. 4.

Herbert Scott

Jail millage should be renewed Observer area voters will decide on Aug. 4

whether to renew 1-mill for Wayne Coun-ty jail operations, juvenile detention facilities and youth assistance programs for four years.

The millage renewal is a key to continuing the fight against crime in Wayne County and meri ts voter support .

The mill costs the owner of a $100,000 home with a $50,000 taxable value $48 annu-ally.

Over the last year, the millage received a lot of at tention from the Conference of West-ern Wayne, a legislative consortium of elected officials from 18 communities, including Can-ton, Garden City, Livonia, Redford. Plymouth, Plymouth Township and Westland.

In February 1996. police chiefs from Gar-den City and Westland complained misde-meanor prisoners were often released early from the Wayne County jail facilities. They reported to the CWW that communities were not receiving what they believed was a proper re turn in prisoner bousing on the millions sent down by communities each yea r through the millage.

In fact, it was costing communit ies more money to send misdemeanor pr isoners out-county, because the county had no room for them and because county jail facilities were housing a larger numbers of felons.

The chiefs went so far as to oppose the 10-year millage unless the county would help them cut their prisoner housing costs.

Last year, many communities also com-plained because a new juvenile facility had not been built. Since then, the facility has been finished and is scheduled to open in the fall.

County officials also have compromised somewhat with the chiefs and t h e CWW com-

munities. Wayne County has agreed to act as a central repository for ordinance violators and misdemeanor prisoners and seek a lower outcounty prisoner housing rate.

The county also will examine a tether pro-gram where first-time, non-violent offenders can serve a 60- or 90-day sentence.

While the communities are not getting all their jai l needs fulfilled, the compromise is a good s ta r t .

In weighing the millage question, voters should consider this: The criminals are being locked up. In 1996, the Dickerson Detention Facility in Hamtramck detained 6,033 inmates f rom Wayne County suburban com-munit ies and townships, including 1.115 sen-tenced felons, 3,782 sentenced misdemeanants and 1,098 ordinance violators.

County officials say they have more than delivered on the millage. delivering 2,724 beds in cells for prisoners after promising 1,220.

Although we recommend tha t voters approve the millage, county officials also need to follow u p on promises made to the CWW.

The four-year time period is enough t ime to review prisoner tether programs and decide where pr isoners should be housed. County officials and local police chiefs need to contin-ue discussions with state l awmakers and out-county jai l administrators on how to best house pr isoners and whether non-violent offenders should be tethered, weighing cost efficiency, public safety concerns and whether or not pr isoners can be rehabil i tated.

Public safe ty is key to heal thy, strong, eco-nomically viable communities. The 1-mill renewal will continue to build on the successes in ba t t l ing crime in Wayne County. Vote yes on proposal J .

Road tax is wrong move

Twenty years ago. Canton Township voters

defeated a proposal for a 4-mill tax levy to create a farmland preservation fund which would have purchased development rights in the remaining farm lands of the township. At tha t time, residential values were about 33-40 percent of their present value and farm land predominated in the township.

The idea of the proposal was to slow the rapid residential growth in the township. At tha t time, as it is now. Canton was at or n e a r the top of the list for new building permits every year. By slowing growth, the township would relieve the rapidly increasing demand for government services such as roads, water , sewer, schools and police and fire protection.

Unfortunately, from my point of view both then and now, tha t proposal was defeated. The residents of Canton are now being asked to pass a 2-mill tax for road improvements. Because of the increase in value of homes in the township, this tax will cost more per yea r than the farm land preservation millage.

Over the last severa l years, Canton officials have approved the expenditure of millions of dollars from the general fund to pave new roads in the township. A large number of those paving projects facilitated and has tened the development of residential subdivisions on the former farm land. As a result of that new development, with each new home having at least two vehicles, several trips a day are made by the new residents over Ford, Shel-don, Warren, Cherry Hill, Lilley and the o ther core roads eas t of Canton Center Road. Mean-while. maintenance of those core roads ha s been ignored, or only occurred af ter months or years of protest and pleading. Then only the extremely bad a reas were repaired and the moderately bad a reas were left to a later da te and enntinued to deterioration

As a 25-year resident of Canton Township I intend to vote "NO" on the road millage pro-posal and urge other voters to do the same.

While the existing roads in Canton, without question, require improvement, I would sug-gest that other means of funding be obtained. First of all. if any new roads have been bud-geted for paving, cancel them and apply the money to road maintenance. If new roads a r e necessary for development, use special assess-ment districts or even require the developer to foot the bill. Enact a surcharge for all new res-idential building permits and place these rev-enues in a dedicated road maintenance or improvement fund , restricting the expendi ture to existing paved roadways.

Unfortunately we cannot turn back the clock 20 years and Canton Township will be built solid in the not-too-distant future . There is nothing I, or any other voter, can do about that After the township has spent millions of

tax dollars to promote growth and ignored the long-term effects of t h a t expenditure and growth on the older exist ing areas of the town-ship, I can vote "NO" on the road millage pro-posal and ask tha t some of those tax dollars be spent in other areas of the township. I believe it is t ime to use existing resources for the needs of the existing road system. Stop paving new roads, stop discussing ice rinks, perform-ing ar ts centers, etc. and s t a r t putt ing our money into a reas long ignored.

I urge a "NO" vote on the 2-mill road tax. L a r r y K. B o w e r m a n

Columnist off the mark

Columnist Tim Richard purpor ts to care for Michigan's children, yet he feverishly

opposes any a t t empt to allow parents more options for improving their children's educa-tion. Tim rejects all forms of school choice, from charter schools to vouchers. He erro-neously claims tha t the Mackinac Center "is pushing vouchers, hard."

Tim needs to rent a clue. The Mackinac Center has proposed a tuition tax credit, not a voucher. There is no t rans fe r of public funds to private schools, as Tim maintains; parents and businesses simply get a credit against their own tax liabilities when they pay a child's school tuition with their own money.

Rather than belittl ing parental involve-ment in their children's education, Tim should check his ideological agenda at the door and embrace school choice as a real way to improve education.

Defends deck builder

Iam writing to you about the article I read last Sunday (July 12) defaming

Roy Mason as a business man and as a human being. W h a t a disappoint-ment to Bee such a large portion of a front page taken u p wi th such garbage. I read a lot of shoulds, woulds, coulds, mights and open-ended sentencing. I did not feel informed whatsoever. I got-the feeling one; person with a vengeance is doing his best to try and make Mr. Mason's life a living hell.

Mr. Mason built a deck for me in the past, and I would hire him again. I am a single woman, which puts me in a position to be vulnerable to the kind of con man you tried to portray him as being. I was not taken advan-tage of, lied to or misled in ANY way. He was professional, knowledgeable and buik me a beaut i ful deck. I found his prices to be much more reasonable than any other es t imate I received.

If there was any glitch in our busi-ness together, it was only tha t he was delayed in the actual s ta r t ing of the job. He kept me informed, and I have never known a contractor tha t doesn't fall behind. When I accepted his pro-posal and signed the contract. I gave him a deposit of 30 percent. Mv con-tract stated tha t once the permit was approved and the work was started, theinext 40 percent was due. Because of his delay, Mr. Mason insisted on waiting to collect the next installment until the f raming was completed. I didn't find this necessary, but noble. 1 also thought it was very kind of him to make two flower boxes for the deck. The end result was my complete satis-faction.

I felt t ha t it was my obligation to write in on Mr. Mason's behalf. I truly believe tha t I cannot be the only one satisfied with his work.

S u s a n M. Z a r a t e f o r m e r l y of P l y m o u t h

• Do I know, in detail , wha t the revenue generated will be used for?

• Have the elected officials made a legitimate a t tempt to maximize cur-rent funding?

• How will the end resul t of the tax increase benefit my family and com-munity?

The answers to these questions have left no doubt in my mind tha t the upcoming road millage should be supported;

• Township officials have gone to great lengths to prepare a detailed eight-year plan of road improvements. It is a ra r i ty tha t we have such specif-ic knowledge on how our hard-earned tax dollars will be spent . Also, the generated revenue will only be used for road improvements in Canton Township.

• Elected officials a t the township, county and s ta te level have a t tempted to increase funding from Wayne County and the state. Unfortunately , this increase in funding is still woeful-ly short of wha t we need to fix our roads. Township officials even explored the possibility of taking over our road maintenance from the coun-ty, a l though it was determined t h a t this would be cost-prohibitive.

• The benefits of th is road millage for my family and community are easy to envision; wider, smoother roads t h a t will lower commute t imes and automobile repair bills. Most of all, these improvements will make our roads safer to travel for everyone.

I urge all township residents to take an active roll in improving our roads by Voting "yes" for roads on Aug. 4.

B o b L o v e l a n d C a n t o n

'Yes' to roads

It is sometimes difficult to determine if-a proposed tax increase should be

supported. In such a case. I ask myself the following questions:

Road tax makes sense

Several weeks ago, a group of con-cerned citizens came together to

form a committee. Canton Citizens for Better Roads. We came together because we all share a common con-cern for the current condition of our roads and about the fu tu re of Canton. We need to address th is issue now!

In the Canton community, we suf-fer from congestion, horrible pot holes

and deterioration t h a t certainly cre-a tes unnecessary costs in car repairs, safety issues, and EMS un i t s having possible delays due to road conditions and congestion. We know t h a t Canton will continue to grow and t h e traffic volume and aging roads will continue to be our number one concern. It 's t ime to address these issues. We believe tha t by support ing th is 2-mill road improvement proposal t h a t will benefit all Canton residents , we will significantly improve the qual i ty of life in Canton.

What can residents expect from this 2-mill proposal? Widening of roads, computerized t raff ic lights, paving of many roads, reconfiguration of many intersections, improved right of ways, annual main tenance activi-t ies such as street sweeping, roadside clean-up, additional pot hole repair , replacement of non-regulatory signs and aesthetic mowing. This proposal will enable Canton to cont inue to be one of the best communit ies in west-ern Wayne with a good qual i ty of life and safe roads.

What can the citizens of Canton expect if this proposal does not pass? Much of the same... congestion, con-t inued road deterioration, safety issues and a poor qual i ty of life for all of us. This proposal will give us a choice to decide which direction Can-ton will go. Whether we will be proac-tive and vote to make a positive differ-ence or whether we will be silent. This millage proposal would add 2 mills a year for eight years for each property owner. The reality is t h a t no one wan t s to pay more taxes. However, if we fail to pass this millage, we will still pay. We will pay for increased car repairs, frustrations due to traffic delays, increased risks for au to acci-dents due to poor road conditions, safety issues and delays in emergency vehicles. The people of Canton should consider all the benefi ts t h a t each one of us will receive if we make a positive choice on this millage proposal. I hope you will join this commit tee and your neighbors and vote yes for Canton, yes for safety and yes for the fu ture of Canton on Aug. 4.

Fatyma Is dedicated Vfecently, there have been many letters B ^ i n your paper regarding the upcoming pWtmn inH»irling mention of those run-ning for State Representative for the Can-ton area.

I have received no information and can-not comment an the man running far State Representative, however, I do know Patri-cia Fatyma, the other Republican running for state Representative. I know Patricia Fatyma from all of the hard work and dedi-cation she has shown as the Market Day representative for Bentiey Elementary School. She has helped the Bentiey Ele-mentary PTO raise thousands of dollars over the past two years She has always worked hard and gone above and beyond to give the best customer service possible, a trait that is very difficult to find these days.

Her availability and the dedication she has shown our schooTs Market Day repre-sentative has, Tm sure, impressed all of the parents at Bentiey with whom she has come into contact I know that she would take that Artiratinn and all of her organi-zational skills with her to Lansing, if the voters will give her the chance.

even more information regarding the 2-mill proposal for roads that will be on the Aug. 4 ballot I think the "Road to Quality^ is a good one, however, I think the-"Road to Safety" is also a good slogan. We, obviously, need better quality mads whkh this proposal will give us but it will also give us safer roads for aQ of us and our families

Everyone shouid take a good look at the improvements being proposed and check off the ones that directly affect you in your daily driving in the Canton community . I would think that over 50 percent of these improvements affect all of us and that it would be worth the 2 mills to gain pieoe of mind instead of sitting in traffic at these horrendous intersections fuming every day as another driver pulls out in front of you to try and make the light or a left tu rn .

I urge all Canton residents to vote YES on Aug 4.

Focus:HOPE still going strong

It was 30 years ago. when the ashes of the riots in Detroit were still smoldering and peo-ple were still looking at each other in shock,

that I first s tar ted hear ing the rumors There was this Catholic priest, prematurely

gray but with fire in his eyes and quicksilver on his tongue. And the re was his sidekick, a soft-spoken woman who seemed much, much bigger than her 5-feet-4 height when sL<' s tar ted orga-nizing things.

Together they were supposed to be doing something to rebuild a city that the riots had revealed as a hollow shell. Doing something to bring the races together It had an odd name and odder punctuat ion

I had just s ta r ted the company that owns this newspaper, and even from a suburban perspec-t ive 1 was horrified and dismayed at what was happening to a once-great city So it was only logical a little la ter tha t I should sit down with Father William Cunningham and hleanor Josaitis to talk about what they were doing.

In the beginning. Focus HOPE was little more than its logo, a white hand and a black hand reaching out but not yet touching But Father Bill and Eleanor soon gathered a cadre of earnest and well-intentioned folks, a t t racted by the idea of doing something practical at the grass-roots level t h a t w ould provide some mea-sure of, well, hope

In 1971 they establ ished The Commodity Supplemental Food ProgTam to provide free monthly food ra t ions to pregnant women, post par tum mothers, children up to the age of 6 and seniors more than 60 When I visited FocusrHOPE back then, it was pretty scruffy but effective; lots of s u r p l u s food w as l>eiug gathered and distr ibuted, efficiently and compassionately, to a whole lot of folks who needed it

Time passed I was busy with other thing- I saw Father Bill and Eleanor from time to t ime, always filled with hop*' and optimism, always brimming over with new projects Bv then. Bill was certainly the best salesman in Mulligan, reaping wealth and help from the mighty while Eleanor toiled along in t he background, cleaning up after the messes that great salesmen always leave behind

And then the day came when I was ser\ ing as chair of the Michigan .lob Training Coordinating Council and trying to design a i >b training sys tem that would provide Michigan workers « ith the skills and productivity to get and keep g<*xt paying jobs We had given some grant s to Focus HOPE, and I thought I d better go down to their headqua r t e r s to have a look at * hat

Today the Machinist Tra in ing Inst i tute pro-vides up-to-date t ra ining in precision machining and metal working for more than 300 students. Since it was star ted in 1981, it has a 100 per-cent placement retord for the more than 1,500 graduates whose skills a re in short supply in area businesses

And today's Focus:HOPE has a bewildering variety of offerings ranging from the Center for Advanced Technologies ' g ran t ing accredited degrees in manufactur ing , engineering and technology) to First Step (a four-week program upgrading math, communications and compuU-r skills) so graduates can enter Fast Track ito prepare s tudents to.enter the Machinist Train-ing Institute).

Today's Focus: HOPE is big business, with a $62.5 million budget, one million square feet of

. space on 40 acres. 786 s ta f fers and 49,000 vol-unteers. part icipants and contributors

But last year, Father Bill Cunningham died of cancer, and a tornado roared down Oakland Boulevard, ripping a chunk out of the Focus HOPE campus Eleanor Josaitis-stepped forward into big shoes and s tar ted filling biR holes

This Saturday. Focus HOPE is celebrating its 30th anniversary, just a little bit later than the actual anniversary date of March 8 T h e r e has just l>een too much grieving for Bill." explained Eleanor "But we hope everybody will come on down and see what we've built "

The celebration runs from 10 a m to 6 p m Saturday. .July 25. at 1355 Oakland Boulevard. Detroit

In my view. what they've built is nothing less than a monument to hope

Metro airport gets $1 billion for midfield terminal project ' Wayne County received $1 b i l l ion r e c e n t l y on b e h a l f of Detroit Metro Airport, complet-ing the largest bond sale in the history of U.S. airports. • Proceeds from the sale will be •used p r imar i ly for Metro Air-port 's new 74-gate midfield ter-minal project. • The $1 billion check was pre-sented to Wayne County Execu-tive Ed McNamara by represen-ta t ives of Salomon Smith Bar-Iney, lead u n d e r w r i t e r for t h e }x>nd sale. J The underwri t ing group also included Merrill, Lynch & Co., "<Seibert Brandford Shank & Co., a n d a number of Michigan-based land nat ional financial ins t i tu-t i ons . Several local, minori ty-

owned firms were also principal members of underwr i t ing and selling teams.

The $1 billion bond funding will contribute primarily to the construction of Metro Airport's new midfield terminal , sched-uled to open ^n 2001. Proceeds from the sale will also be used for other airport projects, includ-ing construction of a sixth run-way, a new 12,000-space park-ing ga rage , renovat ion of the exist ing te rminal complex and c o n t i n u a t i o n of t h e a i r p o r t ' s noise program.

The 30-year bonds will return a maximum interest rate of 5.33 pe rcen t t ax- f ree , according to J o h n R e a g a n , d i r ec to r of Salomon Smith Barney. While

most of the bonds were sold to i n s t i t u t i ona l inves tors , abou t $90 million of the issue was sold to ind iv idua ls , most of whom were Michigan residents, Rea-gan said.

The secur i t i es o f fe r ing was r a t e d AAA — t h e r e s u l t of a bond insurance policy provided by Munic ipa l Bond I n v e s t o r s Assurance, Inc. The insurance reduced the interest cost to be paid by Detroit Metro Airport.

The bond issue received an A rat ing from Fitch Investors Ser-v ice , AAA f rom Moody 's Investors Service and A- from Standard & Poors. Two of those r a t i n g s — f rom F i t c h a n d Moody's — were upgrades.

Helping kids reframe envy as admiration

If you pay attention to your subcon-scious thoughts , you w i l l be sur-prised a t w h a t is jus t below the sur-

face. I'm not proud of it, but envy lu rks in my subconscious.

As I walked into the grocery store last week, my thoughts meandered around aimlessly until I spotted HER. She stood in the vegetable aisle. She was a t t ract ively thin and looked like she exercised frequently. Judg ing by the care she took in picking out the fresh produce, she obviously a t e heal thy foods, and it showed.

And wouldn ' t you know, not two minutes la ter , another woman pops into my line of sight, and darn it, if she wasn ' t about the same age as me, dressed in a colorful shor ts and sh i r t s combination, again enviably thin .

I would not say tha t I am a person who spends a great deal of t ime envy-ing o ther people, but HI candidly admit , 1 do envy thin people. The th ing t h a t really ticks me off about them is t h a t permanent ly thin people don't have a n y conception as to how hard o ther people work to stay rea-sonably t h i n .

My problem is I am a medium-sized person wi th a very fat mind. If it weren' t for t h e enormous amoun t of t ime I spend exercising each week, my f a t m i n d would grojj; to&e a 200-pound body. I t is a lwayso imeu l t f5r me to ma in t a in or lose weight, a n d I'll tell you r igh t out - 1 spend way too much t ime th ink ing about it.

A common feeling We've all felt envy at t imes, wishing

we had someone else's qualities, pos-sessions, achievements or luck. But let's face it — envy is destruct ive and, in the wors t case, can be the root cause of o the r destructive behaviors.

I will never have a skinny person's th in - th ink ing mind, so I need to GET OVER IT, be content with wha t I have and t hank fu l that I can control my weight to the degree tha t I can.

So how does envy apply to our chil-dren? Is it n a t u r a l for them to be envious of o thers? Envy is common to the h u m a n race and we mistakenly think t h a t in order to find content-ment , s ignificance and fulf i l lment, we have to act on our envy.

By cont ras t , persons who get con-trol of the i r envy can re f rame it a s admira t ion . Then they a re in a posi-tion to suppor t and encourage other people ins tead of having to work so hard to ga in an edge. They move from selfish to selfless, a much more desir-able t ra i t .

Envy can push children and teens into unhea l t hy behaviors. You've no doubt h e a r d your children talk about other kids. They might talk about a s m a r t e r c lassmate in a d isparaging way, gossip about an at t ract ive fr iend, or t hey might go so far as to vandal i se a schoolmate's new bicycle, destroy the i r sibling's favorite toy, or ta t t le to ge t the i r friend in trouble

Dealing with envy We can he lp our kids with envy in

th ree ways One, acknowledge the i r feelings. If they tell you t h a t they feel mad abou t the i r friend get t ing chosen to the a l l - s ta r team when they didn' t , let t hem know t h a t it is OK to have t h a t feeling - "I know you're feeling bad t h a t you weren' t chosen and Jason w a s because you probably think you were jus t as qualified "

Le t t ing t h e m have the feelings is not the s a m e as allowing them to act on them.

Two, our integrity shows when we'nt down. Remind them tha t it 's eaiiy to b e kind and generous when th ings a r e going your way and you're feeling good, but tha t the t rue test is to be kind a n d admir ing when you're feeling bad - "It's not about Jaeon ' s success t h a t makes you mad, i t 's about you not getting on the team I know you t h i n k tha t Ja son got on the team because the judge is his dad ' s beat friend, bu t to say t h a t makes you look self ish. You're not a fai lure; Ja son w a s j u s t for tunate to get

B est friends, there ' s nothing like them. They h a v e broad shoul-ders , big h e a r t s and unbreak -

able funny bones. They challenge and accept us ... and sometimes annoy us.

Best fr iends listen more than they t a l k , a n d t h e y s e l d o m a s k w h a t ' s wrong. They already know.

"She ' s a lways t h e r e w h e n I need he r , " s a id M a r i l y n G r i f f i t h , 66, of Livonia about her best fr iend, Beverly Hogue, 65. "She's the kind of person who does things for you and wants no credit for it.

"She knows instinctively wha t you need."

T h o s e a r e t h e s a m e s e n t i m e n t s expressed by 33-year-old Lau ra Zain about her best friend, Kristin Senne, 27, of Northville.

The Livonia resident met Senne 13 years ago. Zain 's son had j u s t been born wi th his in tes t ines on the out-side of his body. Kyle, now 13, wasn' t expected to live. Many of he r fr iends

Senne saw Zain through a divorce; ear l ie r th i s year , Senne ' s boyfr iend died.

"Laura was right there by my side," said Senne, a scholarship s tudent at Madonna University.

Both women were born on Aug. 28, and every year they try to outdo each other 's b i r thday surprise. Sometimes they don't wait until their birthdays. This J u n e Senne surprised Zain with two t ickets to t h e final game of the Stanley C u p championship. She also had two air l ine tickets to Washington, D C .

"Oh. she couldn't believe it until I went there and spent the night before we left for the airport," said Senne.

When Senne leaves for Europe this August for a much needed vacation, it will be t h e second t ime in 14 y e a r s they've been apar t on their birthdays.

"Everyth ing about her is like me," said Senne. "It's like we're connected. It 's weird, but it's in a good way."

"Barb is always happy, always has a smile." said Allen.

The two woman met 33 years ago when D e m p k o w s k i ' s f ami ly moved next door to Allen's family in Dear-

Dempkowski and Allen rou t ine ly blow up at each other to let off s team, but they've never had a serious argu-ment .

"I can't imagine gett ing in a fight with Jerr i ," Dempkowski said. "I can't imagine her fighting with anybody."

Allen said they're no re like sisters t h a n f r i e n d s - "We l ike t h e s a m e things. We do the same things."

A while ago, Allen's brotker asked her to move out to Colorado, where he lives. Allen assured Dempkowski she w a s n ' t going to do t h a t "We don ' t want to think about it."

"Jerri truly is a person from God," said Dempkowski "She is more than

Wel l , you can e x p e r i e n c e camp life now as a volunteer for t h e f i f t h a n n u a l C a m p Phoenix, sponsored by Commu-nity Hoapice and Home Care Services and Hospices of Henry Ford Health System.

Some 40 volunteers are need-ed to work with the anticipated 70 children who will attend the three-day camp Friday-Sunday, Aug. 21-23; a t Camp Tamarack in Ortonville.

"We rea l ly need men , and we're looking for teens age 15 and up," said Kathleen Dattolo,

CHHCS director of social work. T h e teens are great. They play wi th t h e y o u n g e r c h i l d r e n when they're not in their aes-sions and are there in the cab-ins . b u t t h e y ' r e not seen as authority figures."

Camp Phoenix is designed to f ac i l i t a t e a h e a l t h y gr ieving process for chi ldren age 5-17 who have experienced a signifi-cant loss due to death in the past 24 months.

The camp staff includes the trained volunteers, social work-ers, counselors and child life specialists. It offer comprehen-sive training and a job stipend r e l a t e d to t h e job du ty at a

c a m p for all volunteers , sa id Dattolo.

T h e r a t i o of v o l u n t e e r s to ch i ld ren depends on t h e age g r o u p . For t h e 5 -8 -yea r -o ld campers, the ratio ia one adult for every two children. For 9-12-year-olds, it 's one adul t to three children and one adult for three to four teens.

T h e camp offers so much to children who are grieving the loss of someone loved," sa id Peggy Nielsen who m a n a g e s t h e "Sand Cast les" chi ldren 's bereavement program for Hos-p i ce s of Hen r y Ford H e a l t h System.

A c t i v i t i e s i nc lude g r o u p

i n t e r a c t i o n s , a r t , music and play act ivi t ies . Ch i ld ren a re assigned to small age-specific groups to encourage the shar-ing of feel ings wi th t h e ul t i -ma t e goal being t h e develop-ment of coping s t ra teg ies for dealing with grief.

T e e n s also work on a h igh rope challenge tha t ' s good for team building and self-esteem, while the 9-12-year-olds work on the low ropes challenge tha t focuses a lot on team work. For the young children, it's hayride to a petting farm.

There also will be skits and a memorial service on Saturday evening, according to Dattolo.

"Giving children an opportu-n i t y to be w i t h theiT p e e r s helps normalize the grief expe-r i e n c e , " said J e a n B u t r i c o Cooper, child life specialist for Hospices of Henry Ford Health Sys t em. T h e chi ld m a y n o t know other children who have experienced a loss, so our pro-gram can help a great deal."

The ch i l d r en ' s p a r e n t s or guardians at tend an informa-tional meeting before the camp and are invited to a family pic-nic on Sunday when they pick up t he i r ch i ldren . L a s t y e a r more t h a n 200 a t t e n d e d t h e picnic.

This is the second year the

two agencies have teamed up to offer Camp Phoenix. By shar-ing resources , t h e c a m p can now sccommoda te u p to 100 children and has expanded the financial commitment.

' Such funding has allowed the agencies to offer the camp free of charge. However, there is a $20 registration fee due a t the t ime of appl ica t ion . Scholar-ships are available.

When Alber t had a h e a r t a t t a c k l a s t Apri l and r ecen t s u r g e r y for skin cance r , t h e Mateers were there, going to the hospital with Boros and bringing Albert home.

I t ' s people like this who help us carry the load that allows us to carry one," said Boros. "It 's exceptional people like this who deserve recognition.

Boros somet imes w o n d e r s about her friend's broad shoul-ders . While Boros was coping w i t h h e r d a u g h t e r ' s d e a t h , Mateer was dealing with her own mother's serious illness.

"While I was crying on h e r shoulder about our daughter, she w a s w a i t i n g for word on h e r mother , who died," said Boros. "I 've a lways said she was my guardian angel, and she truly is."

Abe Barroga of Canton has two best friends who help "keep my fee t on t h e g round" - Mike Smokavitz and Chris Skoglund. All three men are 20 years old and have been friends since mid-dle school.

"Mike is the dreamer, Chris is spontaneous, and I'm the orga-nizer," Barroga said. "I make it possible to do things, to make it flow easily."

In o ther word, Barroga sup-plies the car and cash at times. That's OK with Barroga because best fr iends don't keep tabs on favors or money.

"Just as long as they're going to be there when you need them," he said.

Men the age of Barroga's father have "buddies" who come over and watch football games. But b u d d i e s a r e not best f r i e n d s , according to Barroga.

"A friend and a best friend are two d i f fe ren t things," he said "You don't really share all the

in t imate things you tell a best friend. You don't think about best friends criticizing you."

Carol Napier of Garden City counts Art S t u m p and Lavelle Jenkins. Napier gets a lot of help raising her 8-year-old grandson from them.

"He helps me with my grand-son, Allen, and is always around when I need a helping hand," she said of Stump. "Lavelle is always buying Allen things. She's always here for me."

Redford resident Terry Masek met her best friend Lisa Mausolf more than 10 years ago at Lady-wood High School.

"We had the same personality;

she was just as bubbly as I am," she said. "It s ta r ted the re and slowly grew."

Canton t e e n a g e r s Mal lory Urban and Kate Kerm, both 13, are best friends. Why?

"Because I can t rus t her and tell her everything and rely on her," Mallory said.

"She's always there," Kate said. "She's always helping me when 1 need help. I can tell her secrets. We're ajways doing stuff togeth-er. She's my movie buddy, and we drool over the same men."

Livonia residents Amie Cerullo and Jenny Burgess g r adua t ed from Stevenson High School this year and have been friends since ninth grade.

"Through higl^ school we 've been through eve ry th ing good and bad ... Boyfriends who came be tween us , v a c a t i o n s , " sa id Cerullo. "We have different inter-ests, but we still have t ime for each other.

"When she has a problem, I'm there for her. When I'm having a problem she's there for me."

Lasting friendship Westland resident Bertha Row-

den said Rosa Rupp has been her best friend since they met in the fourth grade more than 60 years ago.

"We talk about things we don't even tell our s is ters ." Rowden said.

P lymouth r e s i d e n t Nancy Chapman has been best friends with Barbara Rydeski of West Bloomfield for more t h a n 40 years.

"When we get together we tell the same stories, laugh a t the same th ings ," C h a p m a n sa id . 'Days go by and weeks go by, but when we talk, we j u s t pick up where we left off."

picked." Three , life is somet imes not

fair. We often don't get what we deserve. All we can find joy in is doing our best - "You know tha t you did your best, and maybe nex t t ime you will be chosen. We'll practice together."

Sometimes we mistakenly play into our child's envy by permit-t ing the child to get away with c o m m e n t s or act ions t h a t a re dest ruct ive . If the child gripes t h a t Jason only got on the all-

star team because of who his dad knows and you play into it by agreeing, you are doing a great disservice to your child.

Your child will never learn "frustration tolerance" and will continue to have to put o thers down in order to feel good about themselves.

J u s t remember tha t children who spend lots of energy resent-ing o ther people's a d v a n t a g e s will be least liked by their peers and most often rejected. As the

following anonymous quote says, "Happiness consists of not long-ing for the things tha t make us happy."

P lymouth r e s i d e n t Susan H e i m b a u g h and bes t f r i end Shelly Manville see each other four times a week.

"We both thought tha t being friends was cheaper than going to the rapy , " H e i m b a u g h said. "I never had a sister, but this is dif-ferent."

RAiford resident Kathy Kitz-mann has been best friends with Nancy Borden since their parents bought homes back-to-back in 1950 when they were born.

"She knows me b e t t e r t h a n anybody," Kitzmann said. "Our lives have taken different paths, but we're a lways able to come back and pick up on our friend-ship."

Redford resident Kathy Lloyd met her best friend Laurie Harris when both were 7 years old and Lloyd's family moved into Harris* neighborhood.

"Mom m a d e me t a k e her a Kool-Aid," Lloyd said. "You don't need to detai l th ings out (with her). We're on the same wave-length."

Livonia resident Pam Caraher met best friend Sharon

on the job six years ago. They went to I re land together three years ago. And Ca rahe r loves Urso's thoughtfulness and gentle-ness.

"I j u s t can ' t expla in what a good friend she is," Caraher ukL "She's so f t - spoken , generous. She's just incredible. She had a sweet smile. I'd go home and say 'Ma, I met the nicest person in the world today.'

"She's just the best friend any-one could d r e a m of hav ing 1 mean it from the bottom of my heart, she's something else."

Close to home But best fr iends can be more

than the kid next door or a school chum. For some, t h e i r bes t friends are as close as a family member or spouse.

"She knows all my secrets ," said Livonia resident Kathy Com-bin about her s i s te r "Bridgett. "Sometimes we buy things at dif-ferent stores and find out later we bought the same thing."

For Nancy Andersen of Canton, he r bes t f r i e n d is h e r f a t h e r , Tedd Grakawski of Auburn Hills

"He is my No. 1 all-star, confi-dant and picker-upper. He is the wisest man I know," said Ander-son. "He insists tha t I call him when I get home a f t e r visiting him. He is a role model, a hero "

Garden City resident Debbie Likeric said her best friend is her husband, J B., whom she met in 10th grade more than 20 years ago.

"He ju s t accepts the ups and downs we go through," she said "I'm never afraid to tell him any-thing We have no secrets from each other Td rather spend time with him than anybody else

Ditto for Mary Beth King of Canton, who's best friend is her husband Jeffrey.

"We just had a baby six months ago and I've had trouble dealing with i t ," she said "He's been unbelievable. It's been unbeliev-able for the past four years "

Canton resident Nancy Phalin and husband Randy Phalin, mar ried for four yean , are best bud-dies on the go

"We go biking, inline skating, scuba diving, church, shopping. Jazzercise and weightlifting." she said "We just have fun together He's t h e bes t f r i e n d anybody could have. We do every th ing together. Buddies should always be together."

Pha l i n sa id they h e s i t a t e d about get t ing marr ied because Randy ia considerably younger than she.

Polish dance instructor has right moves for 'Wedding' S u s a n M a r z e c and h e r

Stoneleigh Village neighbors are about to rename their Livonia neighborhood "The Polish Con-nection."

"There's so many people in the subdivision who are Polish. I've found people who are from my childhood. It's "The Polish Con-nection' now," Marzec said with a chuckle.

Quickly, however, she changed the name.

"It 's going to have to be the 'Famous Stoneleigh Village Pol-ish Connection.' People walk up to me and they say. 'You're not the ...' (She responds) "Yes. I am.' »•

The 44-year-old Marzec, the c h o r e o g r a p h e r for t h e Polish dance troupes Radomianie and Centennial Dancers, has made a name for herself as a choreogra-pher for the movie "Polish Wed-ding."

"Pol i sh Wedding" t e l l s the story of Polish immigrant par-e n t s J a d z i a and Bolek (Lena Ol in and Gabr ie l Byrne) and their rebellious daughter Hala (Cla i re Danes) , a high school dropout who becomes pregnant by a H a m t r a m c k cop named R u s s e l l (Adam Trese ) . The movie, d i rected by Royal Oak Dondero High School graduate Theresa Connelly, opened Fri-day, July 17.

Marzec a l m o s t mi s sed t h e chance to work on the movie. She h a d j u s t r e t u r n e d f rom s tudy ing in Poland, when she heard a message on her answer-ing machine asking if she would per form in "Polish Wedding." Believing it was jus t a n o t h e r w e d d i n g gig, Marzec d idn ' t return the calls.

"Then I got a phone call from a person in our dance troupe who works at the Atheneum (hotel in G r e e k t o w n ) where they werd staying; she said they wanted us to dance in the movie. I had no idea th i s was ent i t led 'Polish Wedding.' I didn't know it was a film," Marzec said.

Marzec walked into her inter-view in an old warehouse "so ove rd res sed . " The c lo th ing of choice for her interviewees was jeans and T-shirts. Three inter-views later, they explained the scene to her and asked her to "Suggest music. Upon suggesting a "real romantic dance," she got the job,

ing. W h a t a fool I was ' "

Teaching others The -first day of her eight-week

job, she walked in and the stars were waiting for her. They lis-t e n e d to Pol i sh music and Marzec began her lessons. When t h e ac to r s and a c t r e s s e s had down time, Marzec was reached via a cell phone or pager to return to the set to teach dance.

Byrne, Olin and other partici-pan ts in "Polish Wedding" also came to the Centennial Dancers' pract ice at St. Paul Lu the ran Church in Livonia.

"Gabriel was very nervous at first." Marzec said. "Toward the end, I asked him 'Do you indulge in any type of alcoholic type of activity? Or work out? I think you need to loosen up.'

"Finally, during the taping I told him to act like you're danc-ing and I'm just going to dance around you. We must have done the shot 20 t imes." she added with a laugh.

Connelly was interested in hir-ing Marzec's sons, Ken, 21, and Jason. 19. former football play-ers for Detroit Catholic Central High School who now play for St. Norber t College in Green Bay, Wis. They said thanks , but no thanks.

"They said, 'We dance for you but don't make us give up foot-

ball for th is . ' They said , 'You being in it and you doing it is good enough for us , ' " s a id Marzec who also has a son, Gre-gory, 4. "Still I make them Pol-ish dance. They went to Poland with me and I'm hoping they go with us in June to perform," said Marzec.

H e r husband. Ken, however, a p p e a r s in the movie dancing with Olin during one of the cli-mactic scenes.

For the movie, Marzec chose adu l t dancers from both of her groups, the Centennial Dancers and Radomianie, including Brad P l a t ek of Livonia, who dances with Olin.

Not only did she introduce the ac tors and ac t resses to Polish dance and her dancers to movies, she made them try some of the cuisine.

"They tried the food. Although Lena and Mili (Avital, who plays Sophie) didn ' t ea t t h a t much, they were very accommodating." she said. "It was like a dream in a sense."

Marzec's friend, actress Nancy K e n d a l l , sa id she cou ldn ' t believe that Marzec made it into a film, to which she responded "I k n e w I d i d n ' t h a v e to go o u t there (west > to make a film. They were going to come to me "

Although she saw the movie on Friday, she returned to the

theater with the dance troupe on S u n d a y w h e r e they c h e e r e d when her name flashed on the screen during the credits.

"It was nice to get this respect from people; It 's a nice way to end everything."

The weekend didn't s t a r t off t ha t well, however. The Polish American Congress asked her to boycott t h e movie b e c a u s e i t bel ieves t h a t the movie is "a deplorable depiction of the Pol-ish-American community." She reserved opinion until she saw the film.

"I waited to see the movie to comment on it." Marzec said. "I would not want to do anything to disgrace my heritage or my fami-ly. I don't know why there's such an outcry from the Polish Ameri-can Congress . Everybody has their opinion. I'm Polish and I'm Catholic and everybody makes mistakes in their family.

"It's like seeing Moonstruck.' The story line is very real. She (Danes' character) is 17 years old. Seventeen-year-olds act like this. There's a lot of peer pres-sure."

Marzec said she ha s gotten phone calls at home from Polish folks commenting on the film. Despite the controversy. Marzec said t h a t she, along wi th her mother and mother-in-law sug-gest that every teenager see this movie.

"Here a re two people who speak the language." she said. "I was kind of embarrassed with some of the scenes, but it doesn't

Local stars top Ocelot recruits It won't be a big team, in size or numbers . But it

will be a Tom Teeters team, which m e a n s it will be competitive th roughout the season.

In his 13 seasons at~Schoolcraft College, Teeters has guided the Lady Ocelots to one NJCAA champi-onship (1988) a n d to four other top-five finishes in the NJCAA Tournament . Can his 1998 t eam match that?

Well . . . Teeters will have a nice blend of experience and

incoming t a l e n t to work with. But h e won' t have much of it, no t in numbers , anyway. H e h a s four r e t u r n e e s — S t a c e y C a m p a i n , M e g a n M c G i n t y (from Livonia Churchill), Melissa Plave and Donna Logsdon (Plymouth Canton).

The Ocelots came on s t rong a f t e r a rough s ta r t last season to post a 19-20 record, going 7-3 in the Eas t e rn Conference and finishing in a t ie for sec-ond.

Can they improve upon t h a t this year? Gone are 6-1 middle h i t t e r Sa ra Gregerson, to E a s t e r n Michi-gan; 5 -6 o u t s i d e h i t t e r Mindy S u l l i v a n (Livonia Churchill), to Universi ty of Michigan-Dearborn; 5-6 outside h i t te r J a n e t Hinz, to Concordia College; 5-5 se t t e r A m b e r Wel l s (P lymouth C a n t o n ) ; a n d 5-5 defensive specialist Jenni fer Smith (West land J o h n Glenn).

Which means Teeters will have to groom at least a few of his newcomers to be s ta r te r s , come Septem-ber. It 's not a new task for the long-time coach, nor an unfami l ia r one.

Sister Smith , however, disput-ed Teeters ' claim.

"Tom recommended those peo-ple. then he didn' t wan t to work with them," the Ladywood prin-cipal said. "He gave us input all those years as f a r a s who would be good fo r t h e p r o g r a m . B u t there were a lways o the r s inter-v i e w e d . b u t w e h a d t h e final say."

Malek s a id h e now is in the process of tak ing applicat ions for the vars i ty post. He said Wyatt and Wel l s h a v e b e e n asked to re turn next season in their same positions.

"It was a tough decision for me because I h a v e a h a r d enough t i m e k e e p i n g g o o d c o a c h e s , " Malek s a i d . "Nobody d i s p u t e s Tom is a great coach. He knows his volleyball a n d is an outstand-ing "Xs and Os' type.

"But due to philosophical rea-soning, we h a d a d i f f e rence on how to run the p rogram 4n gen-era l for t h e s a k e of t h e f resh-m a n , J V a n d v a r s i t y levels. It was best to go our s epa ra t e ways and best for Ladywood And the

The game featured two of the MSHL's top three teams, with the top team in the Eagle Conference fal l ing to the Huskies, second place in the Bakes Conference.

The 'Dogs did have the early advantage, lead ing 2-1 a f t e r one period and 3 - lon Ben Blackwood's second goal of the game with 10:13 left in the second period. But the Huskies rallied, scoring the next four goals (two of them by Hun t ) to go in front, 5-3.

T h e difference this year is tha t

Mr. Gavie is no longer wi th us. From now on. the event will be his living, enduring memorial

John Gavie made his mark in our communi ty in m a n y waVs, and those bowlers who t a k e to the lanes will forever be grateful for t h e m a n y good t h i n g s t h a t occurred under his guidance and leadership.

T h e t o u r n a m e n t i s o p e n to t e a m e n t r i e s w i t h t h r e e d iv i -s i o n s : m e n ' s , w o m e n ' s a n d s e n i o r s . Each d iv i s i on h a s i ts own prizes based on the number of e n t r i e s . All c o n t e s t a n t s will r e c e i v e n ice c o m m e m o r a t i v e g i f t s , wh ich will a l so s e r v e as mementoes of the event.

The ent ry fee is $75 per team (five to a team), prior to Aug. 1 and $80 af ter that date . One out of five entr ies will cash. This is a scratch tournament : t h a t means no h a n d i c a p s . It is s a n c t i o n e d through ABC and WIBC.

For those who have been bowl-ing in past John P Gavie Tour-naments . your ent ry forms have been ma i l ed For newcomers , the ent ry blanks a re available on most bowling c o u n t e r s all over town

T h i s e v e n t is f a r m o r e t h a n jus t a bowling tou rnamen t It is an opportunity for old friends to get together and even rub shoul-d e r s w i t h some of t h e g r e a t bowlers, past and present

It is a good chance to get the competit ive juices flowing again j u s t p r i o r to t h e s e a s o n For t h o s e w h o t r u l y e n j o y good spo r t smansh ip exper ience , it is the place to be.

If y o u r t e a m w o u l d l ike to en t e r the Gavie T o u r n a m e n t , I suggest that you gel the entries in soon, as this one gets booked

U N V k . m l . i g r ( f >

p r e t t y s o l i d , a n d a b o u t 5 5 0 bowlers will be in competition.

In case you d o n ' t know who J o h n P. Gavie was , he was the o r g a n i z e r a n d p r o m o t e r of t h e All-Stars and served as commis-s ione r of t h e A l l - S t a r l e a g u e s unti l he passed away last Octo-ber at the age of 90.

T h e y ca l l ed h i m t h e " N i g h t Mayor" of D e t r o i t back in t h e ear ly days, a n d h e h a d a lot of pull tha t enabled h im to get the job done.

In fact th i s event was a lways s t a r t e d w i t h a p a r a d e d o w n Woodward A v e n u e to the S t a t e Fair Grounds with Gov. "Soapy-Williams in t h e lead car as the g r a n d m a r s h a l l , w i t h t h e M a y o r ' s c a r r i g h t b e h i n d fol-lowed by al l t h e g r ea t bowling teams.

T imes h a v e changed , bu t t h e J o h n P . G a v i e T o u r n a m e n t is pretty much the same. It's jus t a gather ing of the people who are very much involved in the sport to compete on f r iendly terms and enjoy the camarader ie , the com-pet i t ion a n d t h e official begin-ning of the 1998-99 season.

A r e you a l l s e t w i t h y o u r league0 How about your team 0 Is it full a n d r e a d y to go? All too often we seem to wait until t he last momen t to rea l ize t h a t we need ano the r bowler or need to bnng in a few more teams.

This is where the local bowling center can do its job The centers u s u a l l y h a v e n a m e s of people looking for a spot to bowl. I t ' s t i m e to a s k a r o u n d a m o n g f r iends and ne ighbor s or make some calls.

V a l e r i e M a n g r u m ( I n k s t e r i and Brian Townsend (Dearborn) conceived, s taged and perform in this 90-minute non-stop buffet of savory songs . Jo in ing them are Annet te Hissong (Westland), J im M e a d ( A n n A r b o r ) , M e g a n Meade-Higgins (Southfield) and Tom Morgan (Livonia).

Tying the whole thing together is a history lesson of interest ing t r i v i a . E a c h n u m b e r is i n t r o -duced with a brief comment. For example: t he re were two winners in 1960 , " F i o r e l l o " a n d " T h e Sound of Music." The movie "All About Eve" inspired the au thors of the 1970 winne r "Applause "

A n d M o r g a n gives a lovely rendit ions of "The I m p o s s i b l e D r e a m " f r o m T h e Man of La Mancha (1966).

J i m Meade delivers a powerful k n o c k o u t p e r f o r m a n c e of t h e song "Glory* from the 1996 Rock O p e r a w i n n e r R e n t . A n d h i s sa t i r i ca l " O n e L a s t Kiss" f rom Bye, Bye Birdie (1961) is a hoot, especially his Elvis Presley end-ing.

'Sweet, Sassy' is twisted, funny

Conducting: Keith Lockhart leads the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra at Sympho-ny Hall in Boston. They will perform in Detroit Aug. 1 at the Fox Theatre.

West End Productions presents "Sweet, Sassy & Durang," short plays by Christopher Durang, 9 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays, July 24-25 and July 31-Aug. 1, at the Wunderground Theatre, 110 S. Main St., above ACE Hardware, Royal Oak. Tickets $12, call (248) 541-1763 BY BRENDA SMITH SPECIAL WRITER

" S w e e t , S a s s y & D u r a n g " o f f e r s l a u g h s a n d p r o v o k e s thought* t h a t border on homici-d a l . T h e s h o r t p l a y s d o n e by West End Productions are writ-ten by a gifted, yet slightly twist-ed, Chr is topher Durang. Many of t h e t o p i c s c a n be c o n s i d e r e d t o u c h y to s o m e . H i s s e n s e of humor is extraordinary, leaving one laughing a t one of his topics and la ter wondering why it was so f u n n y then , yet so disturbing now.

The humor of Durang seems to t ry to push t h e audience as far as it can go, t hen farther. A more m a t u r e a u d i e n c e would under-s t a n d t h e s u b t l e r e m a r k s for t h e i r fu l l w o r t h i n e s s . To some people, it may be offending. How-ever, not to see the humor in it would be a waste.

C o u p l e d w i t h t h e h i l a r i o u s

institution. Now in his four th season con-

ducting the Pops, Lockhar t who succeeded Wil l iams in the role, says a lot of people say he looks too young to be conductor. "They remember a gray hai red m a n in his 80s," said L o c k h a r t . "They forget A r t h u r F i e d l e r was t h e same age as me. 35, when he got the job."

Although he's following in the f o o t s t e p s of t w o s u p e r s t a r s , Ix»ckhart is cas t ing a shadow of h is own w i t h o u t c h a n g i n g t h e things that audiences love about and expect from the Boston Pops. " I t ' s a s u c c e s s f u l t r a d i t i o n . There 's no reason to go and t ry a n d c h a n g e e v e r y t h i n g . " s a i d Lockhart.

He says he h a s a different per-sona l i ty , s e t of s t r e n g t h s a n d i n t e r e s t s t h a n h i s s u c c e s s o r s , and t h a t m o r e t h a n a n y t h i n g else plays a role in the decisions he makes. Examples are his col-l abo ra t ions w i t h g u e s t a r t i s t s such as Buckwhea t Zvdeco and k d "Lang He snuck a Van Morri-son t u n e i n t o " T h e C e l t i c Album." t h e second of t h r e e he recorded with the Boston Pops.

"The audience for pops is more diverse." he said "There 's a sig-nificant amoun t of younger peo-ple. It 's becoming a d a t e n igh t for college kids, we're seeing cou-ples in the i r 30s. We provide a

significant amount of great sym-phonic music. I cut my tee th in the classical music world, but I l ike be ing involved in a lot of genres - from Mozart piano con-certs and Tchaikovsky to Buck-wheat Zydeco to Motown."

M u s i c a l l y , L o c k h a r t s a i d Fiedler was more contemporary than he is. "Whatever was on the top char ts that month he played. We give a heavy dose of Ameri-c a n c o m p o s e r s a n d m u s i c we t h i n k will excite o u r aud ience . We don' t do much of whatever it takes. I'd rather let U2 do U2."

Part of the problem is arrang-ing the music. It's ha rd to imag-i n e "1 H e a r d I t T h r o u g h t h e G r a p e v i n e , " p e r f o r m e d by a n orches t ra without sound ing like elevator music. "We have a new s ta f f a r ranger , Pat Hol lenbeck. w h o h a s an o r c h e s t r a b a c k -ground. but hip enough to know how to make s o m e t h i n g sound good," said Lockhart.

By playing music people want to hear. Lockhart hopes he teach-es t h e m something too. "Every-t h i n g pap* does i s o u t r e a c h a n d education," he said. "We want to p u s h a b u t t o n , d i c k a l i t t l e switch to get people excited and enjoy what they ' re l i s t en ing to They'll say OK. I'll spend 6 or 7 m i n u t e s wi th S t r a v i n s k y . If 1 don't like it I know the re will be something different next."

Birmingham's Avant Garde specializes in alternative dining BY ELEANOR HEALD SPBCIAL w i m a

O n t h e first fu l l d a y of s u m -mer, a l t e r n a t i v e d in ing e n t e r e d t h e B i r m i n g h a m r e s t a u r a n t scene in t h e location vacated by CHiverio's. Avant Garde borrows flavors of Asian, Indian, I ta l ian , French , Southwest and Mediter-

. r a n e a n foods and c rea tes mea t -' less d i s h e s , p repa red w i t h nei-

ther oils nor dairy.

The a l te rna t ive food idea, con-ceived by Chef Luis C a r t a g e n a and his pa r tne r Elaine Pitzer, is

: a n o u t g r o w t h of t h e i r p e r s o n a l ea t ing hab i t s over the last t h ree years.

¥I h a d t h e confidence to open this s tyle res taurant a f t e r Whole Foods b o u g h t t h e M e r c h a n t of Vino," Car tagena said. "They did my advance marketing.

"Now, I can honestly tell people t h a t I cook with the same good-tas t ing products they can buy a t M e r c h a n t of Vino-Whole Foods. N o n - f a t s a l a d d r e s s i n g i s no longer w i t h o u t good t a s t e . You don't need dairy to make a great sauce."

C h e f L u i s is on a m i s s i o n to t u r n d i n e r s onto h e a l t h i e r e a t -ing. "Avant Garde will give din-e r s s o m e t h i n g they 've n o t h a d before a n d a new way to experi-ence h e a l t h i e r food," C a r t a g e n a said. "The concept will work in the art-friendly, downtown atmo-sphere of Birmingham. It would-n ' t w o r k a s a f r e e - s t a n d i n g r e s t a u r a n t or in a s t r ip mall."

Th is s t a t emen t echoes t h e way avan t garde is dictionary defined as "those, especially in t h e a r t s , w h o c r e a t e , p r o d u c e or a p p l y new. o r i g i n a l or e x p e r i m e n t a l ideas , de s igns and techniques . "

Chef Luis plans to live up to th i s definition.

At A v a n t G a r d e , a l t e r n a t i v e d in ing can be exper ienced in a contemporary environment wi th white tablecloths and flowers on t h e t ab l e .

He d id n e a r l y al l t h e work himselC from stripping and paint ing the walls to cutt ing the g l a s s f o r d e c o r a t i v e c e i l i n g lights.

Thirty-two-year-old Chef Luis l e a r n e d h i s t r a d e on t h e j o b , beginning to work in r e s t au ran t s a t age 15. By age 18, he owned his own pizzeria. He developed his in teres t in a l te rna t ive foods as food and beverage director of Good Food C o m p a n y . B e f o r e s ta r t ing the Avant Garde project, he was food and beverage direc-t o r for Vic's World C l a s s M a r -kets.

Chef Luis pred ic ted the Veg-e tab le Quesadi l la , wi th veggies s a n d w i c h e d b e t w e e n l a w a s h wi th soy Monte rey Jack cheese and f ru i t sa lsa , to be a top-sell-ing appet izer . H e also pointed proudly to the Stuffed Portabella M u s h r o o m s t h a t i n c o r p o r a t e house burr i to mix and peppers.

If you like burr i tos and would

Among entrees , t h e p r e d i c t e d s m a s h hi ts are the ravioli selec-tions. There's salmon, duck, lob-s t e r a n d turkey, each p r e p a r e d w i t h a g r a n d a r r a y of f l a v o r s . The salmon raviolis come wi th a Cointreau cream; duck is f lavored wi th Warre's Port sauce; lobs ter g e t s t u r n e d u p w i t h a m a r e t t o t o m a t o sauce; whi le t h e t u r k e y h a s sun-dried cranberry sauce .

You can create your own pizza w i t h o rgan ic spe l t (low g l u t e n w h e a t flour) crust, tomato sauce, two topp ings a n d a mix of soy cheeses.

While there's not a kid's menu as such, the noodle dishes, harvest burger, chicken selections, raviolis and pizza will appeal to kids.

on a mission of good hea l th and spiri tual harmony.

"Adjusting your diet a t any age wil l m a k e you feel b e t t e r , " he con tended . " I 'm a l so r e a c h i n g out to people wi th cardiac prob-
