"I strongly believe these positions are

Two township employees also 

expressed their thanks for the job postings. 

Mark Lewis, deputy building official, 

said the present electrical inspector, 

Bob Schuelke, not only performs 

electrical inspections but also handles 

sign ordinance violations. 

"I think (an additional electrical 

inspector) has been needed for quite a

The new electrical inspector will also

Ridge, stating that traffic studies did 

not warrant putting in a signal and 

that another traffic study could not be 

conducted until 2002. MDOT denied 

requests in March and in October. 

But Ross Bremer, metro region traffic 

signal specialist with MDOT's 

Southfield office, said that decision is 

not etched in stone. 

"We're conducting a new traffic study 

because of the opening of Canton Char- 

ter Academy," Bremer said. 

The National Heritage Academies 

charter school opened this fall at the 

northeast corner of Ford and Ridge and 

has a projected enrollment of about 400 

students. 

The traffic study will be performed 

the week of Dec. 4 and will involve a 

"hose count" of vehicles driving over a 

hose stretched over the road, and a 

manual count involving a person counting 

the number of vehicles making 

turns. 

Ridge Road is unpaved north of Ford, 

and would have to be paved at the 

approaches in order to get a signal 

installed. Wayne County would be 

responsible for the paving, because 

Ridge is a county road. But MDOT 

would be responsible for installing the 

signal, because Ford is a state road, 

according to Bromer. 

John Santomauro, Canton's director 

of public safety, said the charter school 

is what initially prompted them to 

request a traffic signal at Ford and 

Ridge. 

"It's still a reasonably rural area," 

Santomauro said. "But it's transforming 

seemingly overnight from a rural 

road to a suburban road."

As one TV news show put it, it's 

"Gutenberg to gigabytes" for books.

STAFF WRITER 

For years, the 

Plymouth/Canton community 

has been known as home to 

doctors, lawyers and business 

executives. As it turns out, 

another distinctive group calls 

the area home. 

According to Mike Gerou, 

president of the Western 

Wayne Chapter of the Eastern 

Michigan Alumni Association, 

about 5,000 EMU graduates 

live in the Plymouth/Canton 

area. 

"I think that is something to 

be proud of," said the 1979 

EMU graduate. "Plymouth- 

Canton schools is the largest 

EMU-feeder district." 

He attributes the close EMU- 

Plymouth/Canton relationship 

to several factors: the low cost 

of education, a quality education 

and proximity. 

Gerou, a Plymouth attorney, 

says EMU is "a working class 

school" that turns out lawyers, 

teachers, politicians and business 

leaders, among many others. 

• About 5,000 EMU 

graduates live in the 

Plymouth/Canton 

ar@s. 

"It's a pretty wide mix," he 

admitted. 

He attended the Ypsilanti 

school while working 50 hours a 

week at Plymouth Stamping. 

He explained that commuting 

or living off campus was not out 

of the ordinary since many of 

the students did hold jobs. He 

speculated that many students 

were attracted to EMU because 

of schedules that accommodated 

working students. 

Richard Cundiff of Plymouth 

agrees. 

"At Eastern, a lot of us 

worked. We were first-generation 

college students, compared 

to the University of Michigan 

where the students were second 

and third-generation college 

students. They didn't have to 

work."

Park plan: Buzz Rivera of Canton, left, watches with other veterans as Plymouth 

Mayor David McDonald unveils the plan for a proposed new Veterans Memorial 

Park, to be located in the park in front of Central Middle School in Plymouth. 

Veterans Memorial Park

Plans for a 300,000 Veteran's 

-Mfeftiorial Park in downtown Ply- 

•mouth were unveiled during a 

ceremony last Saturday, Veterans 

Day. 

Plymouth Mayor David 

McDonald told a small group of 

veterans that the committee for 

the establishment of the park 

began its work more than eight 

years ago, and in 1994 the city 

commission adopted a resolution 

supporting the establishment of 

Veterans' Memorial Park. 

"I believe there are sound reasons 

why this project should 

move forward after lying dormant 

for over six years," said 

McDonald. "Without meaningful 

action, it remains only a dream. 

Our veterans deserve more. 

"The men and women who 

have lived in the Plymouth area 

ha v e 'i: oil our nn: ion. ••• 

al» scattered about the city, it's 

difficult for our citizens to be 

reminded of the sacrifice of these 

veterans. Visibility goes a lfmg 

way to stimulate the memories 

of those brave and historic deeds 

of those who have served, and 

gave their last full measure, to 

protect this great republic." 

McDonald said the Civil War 

monument at Riverside Cemetery 

known as "The Lady," and 

the Spanish-American War monument, 

the canon in Canon Park,

Canton, color guard

president of the Plymouth-Canton

will be among the current city 

monuments moved to the new 

location. 

The present World War II and 

Korean/ Vietnam Veteran's 

memorials will remain on city 

property in front of the Wilcox 

House, as requested by those 

groups. However, there will be 

new monuments honoring those 

veterans constructed in the proposed 

park.

"The committee will announce 

within 60 days the plans regarding 

fund-raising efforts to raise 

approximately $300,000 that will 

be needed to complete the project," 

he said. "We strongly 

believe that with a strong fundraising 

effort and an adopt-amonument 

program, this project 

can be completed by the eleventh 

hour of the eleventh day of the 

eleventh month of 2001." 

Representatives of the commit-

tee and veteran's groups in Plymouth 

and Canton seemed 

pleased the effort is finally coming 

to fruition. 

"It's a really nice park and will 

be great for the community." 

said Buzz Rivera of Canton, color 

guard commander and vice president 

of the Plymouth-Canton

"We have a lot of memorials that 

are hidden throughout the city, 

and nobody sees them."

"The big thing now is to make

"I may not live Jong enough to

time they said there was n lot of 

money behind the project. Now 

they don't seem to have any 

money." 

McDonald said he believes the 

project will be eomuietelv paid 

for with donations from corporations, 

civic groups and individuals.

Join Community Federal Credit Union And 

District increases pay to 

attract more sub teachers 

BY HEATHER NEEDHAM 

STAFF WRITER 

hneedham@oe.homeconun.net 

The Van Buren school district 

is looking for people with at least 

90 college credit hours to help 

out with what district officials 

are describing as a substitute 

teacher crisis. 

The Van Buren school board 

Monday approved 7-0 increasing 

substitute teacher pay from $80 

to $90 per day. This increase 

puts Van Buren's substitute pay 

rate higher than several area 

districts. 

Retired Van Buren teachers 

wishing to substitute will get 

$115 a day. All substitutes get 

lump-sum bonuses of $150 after 

50 and $150 after 100 days. 

Louise Williamson, director of 

personnel, said there are a number 

of factors causing the substitute 

teacher crunch. In order to 

cope, the district uses current 

staff teachers on their preparation 

hours and specialty teachers 

such as music and art teachers 

to fill the gaps. 

"The substitute pool for all 

areas - the school district and 

perhaps even statewide is much, 

much smaller this year," 

Williamson said. "There simply 

aren't enough qualified subs to 

go around." 

A comparison of substitute ply 

rates from neighboring school 

districts showed that in many 

instances, Van Buren's rate was 

comparable if not higher. 

For example, Ann Arbor, Plymouth-Canton 

and Saline substi- 

• , VAN BUREN 

SCHOOLS 

tute teachers get $75 a day. 

Dearborn, Lincoln Park Melvindale 

and Ypsilanti subs get $80 a 

day. Romulus substitutes receive 

$90 per day. 

Early teacher retirements in 

the 1998-99 and 1999-00 school 

years, a strong economy, 

increased numbers of charter 

schools, limited availability of 

current substitutes and a high 

number of teachers taking 

maternity leaves have all contributed 

to the demand for substitutes. 

Required training and in-service 

sessions also take regular 

teachers out of the classrooms. 

And last but not least, teachers - 

and their children - get sick. 

Van Buren employs 69 substitute 

teachers. The Michigan 

Department of Education 

requires that a substitute teacher 

have completed at least 90 

college credit hours. 

Here's a breakdown of current 

substitutes: 

• Fifteen are certified teachers. 

Ji Fifty-four have 90 or more 

credit hours and have substitute 

teaching permits. 

• Twelve are available to substitute 

on a daily basis. 

• Eleven are retired from professions 

besides teaching. 

• Seven are retired Van Buren 

teachers. 

T 

Trie board also approved nearly 

doubling the stipend of the £ 

district's substitute arrapger, 

Candy Froman, from $6,o50 to 

$12,500. She is classified as selfemployed 

and works from her 

home. 

Her job is to arise at 4 a.m. 

and call the district's substitute 

teachers, filling elementary 

openings first, then secondary 

and high school. The job takes 

up about 35 hours weekly, 

encompassing early morning and 

evening hours. 

She must .also monitor a 

answering/fax machine, which 

accommodates approximately 60 

calls daily. ® 

"It% pre'tty tiring," Froman, 

said. She said a recent morning 

left her scrambling for substitutes 

as late as 7:30 a.m. and 

covering a couple of last minute 

cancellations. She's worked as 

the district's substitute arranger 

for six years. 

"My kids are in the school district, 

so I have a vested interest 

in the welfare of the classroom 

and making things run smoothly," 

she said. Her two children 

attend Belleville High. 

Board Treasurer Martha Toth 

said Froman was very deserving 

of the pay increase. ' , 

"It's not a job people are crying £ 

to take," she said, "It's really cut 1 

into her life." . s

Township will help schools develop recreation areas 

BYTONYBRUSCATO 

STAFF WRITER 

tbruscato@oe.homecomm.net 

In what is being termed a pilot 

program, Plymouth Township 

officials will spend nearly 

• $20,000 worth of time to develop 

a master recreation plan for the 

property surrounding Pioneer 

Middle School. 

And, if the initial project 

works, township trustees may 

spend up to $350,000 to improve 

recreational facilities at seven 

Plymouth-Canton schools located 

within the township. It's part of 

kn effort to help bolster recreation 

opportunities for township 

residents by improving existing 

playgrounds. 

"The partnership is a wonderful 

opportunity to show taxpayers 

we can partner and maxi- 

mize tax dollars," said Jim 

Anulewicz, the township's director 

of public services. "If we can 

develop the property and maximize 

the public investment by 

incorporating activities for the 

neighborhood and youth sports 

during non-school hour^, then 

we are maximizing it one step 

further." 

Anulewicz said he dusted off a 

township recreation plan developed, 

but unused, since 1986. 

"The plan calls for coordination 

with the school district, and 

providing the district with technical 

assistance to upgrade the 

environmental quality of school 

sites within Plymouth Township," 

said Anulewicz. 

Anulewicz said the Pioneer 

property is 19.29 acres, with 

about 10 acres on the site still 

undeveloped. 

"I haven't looked at the site, 

and I don't have any preconceived 

ideas on what to put 

there, but I think you're going to 

find a lot of potential," he said. 

"If you arrange the fields properly 

you might be able to add four 

or five fields." 

Pioneer^ Principal Tom Owens 

said the school currently has 

three ballfields and a couple of 

pickup basketball courts. 

"I think it's a great idea," said 

Owens of pending improvements 

to his school. "It's a wonderful 

opportunity to improve the fields 

for both the community and 

school district. We would love to 

have cardiovascular trails and 

tennis courts. Whether or not 

it's feasible, or there's money 

available, I don't know." 

School board members, in a 

joint meeting with township 

trustees last Tuesday, applauded 

the plan. 

"I believe a collaborative effort 

is where we need to be," said 

school board vice president 

Susan Davis. "I think this is 

what our community woulfl 

expect of us." 

"I want to know what kids 

want," added Roland Thomas, 

school board trustee. "We need 

to be creative, think outside the 

box, and ask young people what 

they want." 

Part of knowing what to construct 

will come from committee 

meetings designed to hear all 

segments of the community. 

"I will work with a committee 

consisting of the principal, teachers, 

two members of the parent- 

teacher group, and periodically 

bring in representatives from 

youth soccer and baseball to see 

what kinds of issues they might 

have," said Anulewicz. 

"Kids beg me daily about 

skateboarding, their scooters 

and hockey," said Farrand Principal 

Ann Kuhn. "Our homeowners 

association, as well as the 

PTO, has contributed a massive 

amount of money to get the exterior 

facilities fixed up. Farrand 

is highly used by the neighborhood." 

Anulewicz said the pilot program 

at Pioneer "will see if the 

process is going to work and 

bring us to a point where we now 

have a master plan to determine 

costs." 

Superintendent Kathleen 

Booher has made it clear the dis- 

trict doesn't have the money to 

develop the properties. She 

believes in-kind contributions, 

like maintenance of the fields 

and lining them for games, 

would be the type of contribution 

the district could make. 

"We have some money set 

aside for a pilot program," sa^d 

Chuck Curmi, township trustee. 

"I don't see funds being a htirdle." 

Anulewicz said the total project 

could encompass as many as 

90 acres at the seven school 

sites. Besides Pioneer, the-sites 

include West Middle School,' as 

well as Allen, Bird, Farrand, 

Fiegel and Isbister elementary 

schools.Booher has said spending 

could range between $30- 

$50,000 per site, depending on 

what is needed at each location. 

Davis replaces Flanagan at RESA DESIGNER SABLE SAL 

BY MARY MCDONOUGH 

AND RICHARD PEARL 

STAFF WRITERS 

* 

Southfield Schools Superintendent 

Marlene E. Davis 

announced this week that she 

will leave the district in January 

to become the superintendent of 

Wayne. RESA. 

Davib, 53, who has been with 

the-Southfield district since 

1991, will replace Michael 

Flanagan of Plymouth, who has 

been chief of the Wayne County 

r ; Regional Educational Service 

,^'Agency (RESA) the last seven 

''.year's. 

He is leaving to become executive 

director of the Michigan 

Association of School Administrators. 

Davis said of her resignation, 

"I've been here a while and I 

pretty much decide^ that after 

almost 10 years, this was the 

year I needed to look for a job," 

Jim Petrie, president of the 

Wayne RESA board, said, "We 

are very excited by the prospect 

of Dr. Davis joining us ... She 

brings a wealth of experience as 

a local school district superintendent 

and has demonstrated herself 

as an educational leader for 

many years. 

"We fully intend to offer Dr. 

Davis a contract at our regularly 

scheduled board meeting on Dec. 

13," Petrie said. 

Davis informed the Southfield 

board of her intention to seek 

other employment this summer, 

she said. "I had planned to leave 

in June, after this school year, 

but sometimes timelines don't 

work out the way we plan." 

Although Davis said she was 

not asked to resign, some district 

board members, including Pat 

Wiley and Gerald Holcomb, said 

its TOO Good to Miss !!

Davis has faced pressure to 

leave in recent months. 

"I think there were some who 

felt like that, but not the majority 

of the board," said Holcomb. 

In June, the board gave Davis 

a favorable performance evaluation 

and extended her contract 

until 2002. 

This week, however, board 

members expressed disappointment 

with the incident involving 

^-year-employee Thomas Duffy, 

a teacher a Thompson Middle 

School whose prior criminal 

record was discovered when he 

was convicted of indecent exposure 

in July. 

"We were all unhappy with the 

Duffy affair," said Holcomb. "I 

think Marlene handled it the 

best she could with what she 

knew." 

Davis was named Superintendent 

of the Year by the Michigan 

Association of School Administrators 

in 1998. 

Holcomb praised Davis at that 

time as being instrumental in 

keeping standards and expectations 

high during the years the 

district transformed from mostly 

white to nearly 85 percent 

minority students. 

During her tenure, she emphasized 

hiring minority teachers 

and administrators to reflect the 

student population and 

employed outside consultants to 

run cultural diversity programs 

in all grades. 

In 1999, board members also 

gave Davis a favorable evaluation 

but cautioned her that her 

no-nonsense, direct manner can 

be intimidating. 

"One of my greatest strengths 

is my candor. It's also one of my 

greatest weaknesses," agreed 

Davis at the time. 

Prior to coming to Southfield, 

Davis held several district supervisory 

positions in California. 

She is a former Peace Corps 

member and guidance counselor 

in Michigan and Illinois.

A Canton juvenile was cited for possession of 

marijuana and exceeding the speed limit Saturday, 

Nov. 12 near the intersection of Warren and

traffic stop because the juvenile was traveling 64 

in a 45 mile-per-hour zone. While the juvenile was 

searching for documents in the glove compartment, 

the police officer reportedly saw a plastic 

bag of marijuana inside the compartment. 

A subsequent search yielded another bag of marijuana 

tucked inside a cigarette carton box. A 

package of rolling papers was found inside a 

cigarette box. One of the marijuana bags contained 

2.5 grams, and the other 5 grams. 

The juvenile was released into his parent's custody.

causing $300 and dented a window frame, causing 

$400 damage to a vehicle parked in the 6400 block

been caused by a rock. Police have no suspects. 

Someone reportedly damaged the rear window

Nankin Mills Center celebrates Rouge River history 

BY RICHARD PEARL 

STAFF WRITER 

ipearI@oe.homecomm.net 

Thanks mainly to the Wayne 

County parks millage, visitors to 

the Nankin Mills Interpretive 

Center in Westland soon will be 

able to take a trip through time 

along the Rouge River. 

A $l-million-plus< interactive 

educational exhibit about the 

river, its habitat and its importance 

- past, present and future 

- to the peoples of Wayne County 

is being installed in the historic 

former grain mill on Ann 

Arbor Trail. 

Project funding is mainly from 

the county parks' 1/4-mill property 

tax, although Ford Motor 

Co> and a couple of public organizations 

also contributed. 

When it opens in mid-January, 

the new center will tell - 

through dioramas, live and 

stuffed-animal exhibits, interactive 

computer stations and a 

video - the Rouge's history, how 

it helped the county develop and 

the public's responsibility toward 

reclaiming the river from pollution. 

An invitation-only premiere 

and fund-raiser at the Center is 

scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 11, 

by the Friends of Nankin Mill, a 

non-profit citizens' group working 

since 1988 to preserve the 

mill and area history. The Center 

will open to the public Friday,! 

according to Margie Rose of 

Parks Director Hurley Coleman's 

office. 

Coleman said the project's 

funding is "primarily millage." 

Bill would 

cj* ack down 

: 

on porn 

The state government would 

join any lawsuit brought against 

local governments by adult 

entertainment establishments - 

pornographic bookstores or strip 

clubs - under .legislation 

approved by the state Senate 

Judiciary Committee. 

That approach is the Senate's 

m^wer tc proposals made in the 

House to crack down on porn 

shops by setting up a licensing 

svstem. Senators feared the 

licensing scheme would be tantamount 

to approving of adult 

entertainment. 

-tAs a compromise, the senators 

put together a four-bill package 

giving local government the 

authority to regulate adult 

entertainment and requiring 

that any lawsuits brought 

against such regulations would 

have to name the state treasurer 

as well as the local municipalities. 

Senate Bills 1293, 1295-97, 

aj|e sponsored by Sens. Thadcflus 

McCotter, R-Liv.onia, Bill 

Ipillard, R-Highland, Ken Sikkeilta, 

R-Grandville, and Dale 

Shugars, R-Portage. 

The package is a substitute for 

a seven-bill package sponsored 

in part by Rep. Mike Bishop, R- 

Rochester, Eileen DeHart, D- 

Westland, and Laura Toy, R- 

Livonia, and already approved 

% the House. The package had 

proposed licensing as a way to 

g5ve local governments added 

leverage in dealing with porn 

The Senate version limits the 

hours of operation for adult 

establishments to between 6 

a.m. and midnight, requires 

employees and customers be at 

least 21 years of age, and 

requires dancers to maintain at 

least a 6-foot distance from customers.

Coleman said the millage's 

renewal "gives us confidence we 

can finish (the Center) out." 

He said public support of the 

millage "means we're on the

Coleman also thanked Westland 

residents and particularly 

the Friends of Nankin Mill, 

which has raised thousands of 

dollars and donated much time 

to renovations and the center.

Vote reform 

Clerks agree on call for change 

BY RICHARD PEARL 

STAFF WRITER 

rpearI@oe.homecomm.net 

By and large, the city and 

township clerks in western 

Wayne County agree with Michigan 

Secretary of State Candice 

Miller's ideas on voting reform, 

but one feels they don't go far 

enough. 

"There does need to be voter 

reform," said Canton Township 

Clerk Terry Bennett, "but I 

think we need to look at evaluating 

not just the pieces of the process, 

but to comprehensively look 

at what kind of changes are 

needed ... in election law process." 

Miller said Wednesday she 

will ask state lawmakers to 

enact changes in how and when 

Michigan conducts state elections 

and to create a state election 

holiday to encourage voter 

participation. 

Miller, a Republican, said she 

supports a state election holiday 

so registered voters will not have 

to choose between work and voting. 

She also wants the state to 

adopt a uniform voting system 

for all 5,376 precincts statewide 

and to consolidate elections to 

four dates per year. 

"The presidential election has 

demonstrated how important a 

single vote can be," Miller said. 

"One vote can make a difference 

and that's why we should make 

it easier for people to cast their 

ballot on election day." 

According to the Wayne County 

election clerk's office, the Nov. 

8 election saw five different voting 

systems used in the county: 

Optical scanner, lever system, 

paper, touch-screen and punchcard. 

4 use scanners 

In western Wayne, the Optech 

optical scanner was used in Livonia 

and the city of Plymouth; 

Canton and Garden City used 

Accuvote optical scanners; and 

Westland and Plymouth Township 

used touch-screen systems. 

With both Optech and Accuvote, 

voters use a pencil or marker 

to fill in an area next to candidates' 

names or "yes" or "no" 

beside proposals. 

Livonia Clerk Joan McCotter, 

a member of Miller's special 

advisory committee on elections 

1995-97 which recommended use 

of a uniform voting system, said 

the only problem with it is "no 

one is willing to finance it. 

"But maybe the fiasco in Florida 

will show how important it 

is," she said, referring to the 

presidential recount battle. 

Marilyn Heldenbrand, who is 

retiring after 12 years as Redford 

Township clerk, said Wayne 

County election clerks told her 

optical scanning countywide 

wasn't feasible because "there 

are too many cities and townships 

that couldn't afford it." 

A lot of voters are saying "go to 

absentee ballots entirely," 

according to Linda Langmesser, 

Plymouth city clerk, although 

that would increase postage 

costs, she said. It might save 

money because no poll workers 

would be needed, but municipalities 

still would have to hire 

counting boards. 

Waive the postage 

Heldenbrand said the federal 

government should waive election 

postage both for municipalities 

and absentee voters: "A husband 

and wife shouldn't have to 

pay to vote." 

McCotter said she likes the 

idea of only four elections annually, 

particularly since Livonia 

had five this year. "In an emergency 

situation" special elections 

still could be scheduled, she said. 

Westland Clerk Joann 

Seaberg. noting that four elections 

are still "quite a number," 

said Miller's idea "still leaves 

unanswered" whether school 

elections will be included and 

whether clerks will administer 

them. 

The Livonia clerk wasn't too 

enthused about a holiday for voters: 

"I would support Saturday 

or Sunday voting, however. 

"I don't believe as (a matter of), 

policy you should be negotiating 

employment matters," she said. 

Creating a day off is "intrusive 

in employer-employee relations." 

But Garden City Clerk Allyson 

Bettis begged to differ. "I think 

(a voter holiday) is an excellent. 

"If voting is important to 

America, what our democracy is 

based on. it's important everybody 

be accommodated so they 

can vote." She said weekend voting 

also would be OK. 

And while Gov. John Engler 

wasn't happy with the paid voting 

holiday negotiated by United 

Auto Workers, Plymouth's 

Langmesser said, "A lot of auto 

workers I talked to thought it 

was a great idea." 

Glitches in Miller's Qualified 

Voter Verification system is a 

problem, the clerks said.

Casting a vote: Poll worker Jim Miller helps voter Miss Garrett tally her vote in 

Farmington Hills. Farmington Hills is one of the communities using an optical sedft 

system. 

Not on state list 

"We had a number of voters 

that did not show up on the 

state's list," said Seaberg. Her 

office's five incoming telephone 

lines were clogged Nov. 8 with 

precinct officials trying to verify 

registrations. "Some had to wait 

on hold a half-hour to 45 minutes," 

she said. 

But "Our deputies like it," said 

Marilyn Massengill, Plymouth 

Township clerk. "It means we 

don't have to keep all these cards 

on file. It's a more efficient system."

BY PAUL BEAUDRY 

STAFF WRITER 

pbeaudry@oe.homecomm.net 

In his 28 years of coaching 

boys cross country at Catholic 

Central, Tony Magni has won 

three state titles, had several 

more All-State runners and been 

picked as Observerland coach of 

the year plenty of times. 

But he's never had a season 

like this one. 

His Shamrocks finished third 

in the state for the second time 

in three years. However, it was 

the way his team finished third 

which still leaves his amazed. 

"We had four all-staters and 

finished third," said Magni. "I've 

had three runners on before and 

finished second and finished first 

with two all-staters, but never 

had four before." 

But CC's depth might be testament 

to its coach. All six Shamrocks 

on this year's All- 

Observerland team have made 

All-State at least once in their 

career. 

"Even though we've won the 

states with different teams, this 

is the best depth of any team I've 

ever had," said Magni. "This 

group is quite amazing." 

Here's the all-Observerland 

team: 

Matt Daly, Sr., Catholic Central: Daly 

capped off a fantastic career by finishing 

sixth overall (15:22) for the secondstraight 

year at the Division I state 

meet. 

Daly is a three-time All-Observerland 

selection, won the regional, Detroit 

Catholic League and Operation Friendship 

meets, all for the second-straight 

year, is a two-time Ali-State and threetime 

All-City and Ail-Catholic selection. 

He aiso won the Sturgis Invitational' 

and West Bloomfieid Invitational, was 

second at the Holly Invitational and 

third at the CC invite. 

fn two seasons, Daly — a National 

Merit Finalist with a 4.3 GPA — has 

never lost a dual meet. 

''He ran like the true champion that 

he is," said Magni. "This soft-spoken 

young man has been a true leader 

thrbughout the season, He is an accomplished 

runner and his mental toughness 

and preparation are his strengths."

Krawiec's first year on the varsity, he's 

made quite an impression. 

Krawiec won All-State, Ail-Catholic 

and All-City honors, finishing 13th at the 

Division I state meet in 15:46, fourth at 

the regional, second at Operation 

Friendship and third, at the Catholic. 

League Championships and Sturgis invitational. 

He was also fourth in the 

Haslett and CC invites. 

"He was 'Mr. Consistency' this year," 

said Magni. "He would not let the pressure 

of an important race hinder his performance. 

He takes nothing for granted 

and is foremost a dedicated and enduring 

athiete." 

Donnle Warner, Sr., Ply. Salem: The 

senior set some objectives for himself 

prior to the season and, as his coach 

Geoff Baker tells it, "He was very 

focused on his goals." 

Warner, a two-time ail-Western Lakes 

Activities Association selection, wanted 

to make the Saiem record board: he 

wanted to run under 16 minutes: and he 

wanted to make all-state. He managed 

to accompiish all three, finishing 17th 

at the Division I meet in 15:47.4 to earn 

all-state honors. 

He was the WLAA champion and took 

ninth at the regional meet. 

"He was a hard worker," said Baker, 

"it will be hard to fill his spot next year. 

He's been a very good leader for this 

team."

"He seems to have a very high toierance 

for pain." 

Doug Gibbons, Sr.* Catholic Central: 

Gibbons battled mononucleosis for most 

of the season, but it didn't keep him 

from making the All-Observerland team 

and All-Catholic squad for the secondstraight 

season.; 

He came in 43rd at the state meet 

(16:20) and 16th at the regional and 

was 10th in the Catholic League, 13th 

at Operation Friendship and 14th at the 

CC Invite. 

"Gibbons was one;of our top runner 

last year and we had great expectations 

of what his talent would bring to the 

team this year/ said Magni. "Despite 

contracting mono, he never lost his 

desire to get himself back on the varsity 

level. When he joined the team at the 

end of the season, he saved his best 

race for the state final, when it counted 

the most." 

Ryan Gall, Jr., Liv. Churchill: The 

llth-grader finished 67th at the state 

meet (16:22),• 11th at the regional 

(16:40) and 16th at the Western Lakes 

meet. 

He also took firsts at the Livonia Public 

Schools and Monroe-Jefferson meets, 

a fourth at New Boston Huron, and 16th 

at both the Brother Rice and Ann Arbor 

Gabriel Richard invitationals. 

Gall was first on the team in six of 

seven dual meets. 

An honors program' student, Gall also 

carries a 4.3 GPA on a 4.0 scale. He is 

student council;class treasurer and copresident 

of the' spirifrclub, along with a 

member of SADD and the National Honor 

Society. 

"Ryan has fine athletic ability, but 

most of his success can be credited to 

his work ethic," Stevenson coach John 

McGreevy said. "He has tremendous 

drive and works- hard both during the 

season and in the off season. 

"At times I have had to get on him to 

back off on his workouts. He loves to 

run and compete. I'm looking forward to 

next year and seeing his continual 

improvement." 

Erik Travis, Sr.; Liv. Stevenson: The 

senior co-captain, finished 76th at the 

state meet with a time of 16:25 after 

placing sixth at the regional. 

Travis also took fifth in the Western 

Lakes meet. Ironically, Travis migrated 

from the soccer team to run cross country 

this fall. 

"Erik is a determined runner," Gores 

said. "He establishes his goals, then

! "Amber has stepped up her level of

.Ândrea Gorski said. "She's gone in the 

downs Southfield for district title 

last few weeks from being good in certain 

situations to understanding and 

controlling the tempo of a game. 

"She's not afraid of anything. I told 

her before the game that she's not a 

freshman any more, she's a sophomore. 

"She made some big free throws at 

the end of the game." 

Willoughby made three of four free 

throws at a time when Southfield had 

cut Ladywood's lead down to 37-33. 

After Liz Obrecht put in a rebound and 

Willoughby made her foul shots, the 

Blazers held a 42-36 lead with 2:23 to

Obrecht led Ladywood with 16 points,

lineup, her shooting was off. She 

failed to score a point until converting 

l-of-2 free throws with 

1:40 left. It was her only point of 

the game. 

"We had (Amanda) Lentz and 

(Angie) Neu on her," said Blohm, 

adding that they were forced to 

alternate when Lentz drew her 

second foul in the first quarter. 

"And they did a real good job." 

Canton's intensity grew in the 

second quarter and the result 

was a 16-7 lead with 3:54 left in 

the half. Eight of those first-half 

points came courtesy of Janine 

Guastella, the only player on 

either team to reach double figures 

in scoring for the game — 

she finished with 15. 

Salem's best scoring spurt followed. 

The Rocks scored sixstraight 

points to narrow the gap 

to 16-13, but two turnovers in 

the final minute prevented them 

from getting even closer. 

As tough defensively as the 

Chiefs were in the first half, they 

were even tougher in the second. 

They limited Salem to two baskets 

and 2-of-15 shooting from 

10 in the third quarter, and also had 12 

rebounds. Michelle Harakas scored 10 

points and Willoughby contributed 

eight. 

Southfield left Willoughby open at the 

start of the game. It must have been 

looking at the '5-2, freshman' after her 

name on the program. Mistake. 

The young point guard buried a triple 

on her first shot to get the Blazers off to 

a 3-0 start. Michelle Harakas put in a 

rebound and Willoughby followed with a 

pair of free throws as Ladywood took a 

7-0 lead before Southfield scored. 

She did a nice job of teaming with 

Melissa Harakas to run the offense and 

the two of them plus Michelle Harakas 

worked a nice triangle delay in the final 

few minutes to protect the victory. 

the floor. 

The final 80 seconds of the 

third quarter proved pivotal. 

After Canton had gone up by 

eight, two free throws by Shannon 

Miller allowed Salem to narrow 

the gap to 23-17 with 1:40 

left. But a free throw by Anne 

Morrell, a Salem turnover and a 

basket by Christina Kiessel at 

the buzzer pushed Canton's lead 

to 26-17. • 

It never got closer than the 

final margin in the fourth quarter. 

Guastella's three-point play 

with 2:04 remaining increased 

the Chiefs' lead to 32-22, icing 

the victory. 

Morrell was next best in scoring 

for Canton with eight points. 

Salem got nine from Miller and 

eight from Dawn Allen. 

"This team has played great 

team defense for us all year," 

said Blohm. "The problem was 

we couldn't offset it with any 

consistent scoring." 

On Friday, they found a way 

— at Salem's expense.

"They have outstanding size and

won't take so many penalties." 

Makes sense. Surely better defense can 

only help the Rocks. "I think we'll show a big 

improvement defensively," Feiler added. "We 

want to get our goals-against average way 

down." 

And by so doing, take a reverse course in 

the standings. 

There certainly are players who can only 

aid in that quest. Returning from last season's 

squad are five seniors who saw extensive 

action last season: defenseman Mike 

Thackaberry, the team's captain last year 

and an honorable mention all-WLAA selection 

last season; left wing Steve Nagel, 

another honorable mention all-WLAA pick; 

defenseman Scott Morrison; right wing/center 

David Bida; and senior center Drew 

Styles. 

Goalie James Dogonski, also a senior, 

joined the team at mid-season last year and 

will be No. 1 at that position, with sophomore 

Scott Stukel and freshman Shane 

Breest backing him up. 

The Observer & Eccentric/ SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2000 

Dan Stiver, another senior, is new to the 

team and his debut will be delayed four-tosix 

weeks by a fractured hand. 

Leading the rest of the returnees is Mark 

Nagel, a sophomore center who was named 

to the all-WLAA Lakes Division team, and 

junior right wing Dan Valentine, an honorable 

mention all-WLAA choice a year ago. 

Then there's junior defenseman Brad 

Proodian, who missed a large part of last 

year with a broken wrist; sophomore Eric 

Culps, a 5-foot, 105-pound right wing who 

saw a great deal of action last season; and 

Michael Maurer, a sophomore defender who 

also played as a freshman. 

There's plenty of subsequent talent, too, 

like Chadd Schlamb, a junior defenseman; 

David Gill, a sophomore forward; and Steve 

Jacobs, a junior defenseman who transferred 

from Redford Catholic Central. 

What Feiler is happy to have is experience. 

"Last year's team was pretty inexperienced," 

he said. "We had three kids on the team that 

hadn't played (organized hockey) before." 

Canton preview from page B1

Association champion Livonia 

Stevenson at 6 p.m. Nov. 29 

at Livonia's Edgar Arena. 

"There's not an easy team on 

there," said Abraham. "A team 

could easily start 0-8. I don't 

plan on us doing that. I want us 

to start 8-0." 

Which means that, even 

though Canton is muchimproved 

over last season, its 

record may not reflect it. 

"The Western Lakes is 

extremely competitive," Abraham 

added. "To fare well in the 

league would be OK." 

The Chiefs do have the talent 

to move up in the WLAA, but 

just as importantly Abraham 

believes they've put in the work 

to make a difference. 

"We're really hoping to reap 

the benefits of the extra work 

we've put in," he said. "When a 

sophomore becomes a junior, you 

expect him to play like it. They 

are." 

Canton returns two goalies 

from last season in Brad 

Arsznov, a senior, and Charles 

Kemp, a sophomore. They'll be 

joined by freshman Chris Garrett. 

Arsznov, who was honorable 

mention all-WLAA last season, 

figures to be the No. 1 goalie. 

The Chiefs still figure to be a 

$5.00 per person includes: 

young team, but they are more 

experienced thanks to last season. 

And they do have four other 

seniors to provide leadership. 

The leading returnee is senior 

forward Brad Wolfe, the team's 

leading scorer and an all-WLAA 

all-Western Division selection. 

He is joined by John Bockstanz 

(honorable mention all-WLAA), 

Andrew Plagens and Sean Depp; 

all are seniors. 

"As I said, the players have to 

be better and they are," said 

Abraham. "They're smarter and 

stronger. 

"Last year at this time, we 

were working on individual 

skills as well as team strategy. 

Right now, we're ready for just 

team strategy." 

Canton played two pre-season 

scrimmages and won them both. 

Also, the Chiefs played in summer 

and fall leagues to stay in 

condition. 

"We do have a lot of guys back, 

but we do have some new faces," 

Abraham said. "We have some 

good talent." 

Among the returnees are 

seven juniors: Jack Ware, Mike 

Carson, Brian Marsh, Ryan 

McCabe, Matt Ringer, Nick 

Norville and John Talarczyk.

NATURE NOTES 

TIM NOWICKI 

Antler stump 

may be result 

• r 

of an injury 

id November is the time of 

year I am most likely to see 

bucks, or male white-tailed 

deer in the park. It is the peak of the 

rut and males are following females 

out into open fields where they feed. 

Most of the time males are very secretive 

and are seldom seen. 

The biggest buck I saw this year 

had four points on one antler, butonly 

had a stump for the left antler. While 

looking at the deer through binoculars 

I noticed the 2-3 inch high stump that 

was dark in coloration. Unfortunately 

I could not see much more detail that 

the darkened stump. 

A missing antler does not affect the 

survival of the animal since it is not 

crucial for life. It may make it vulnerable 

if it should get into a pushing; 

match with another buck. A single 

antler probably would not give the 

deer as much leverage and push to 

counter the opposing deer, especially if 

they were evenly matched otherwise. 

It is also interesting to speculate 

why the antler is missing. Did it break 

off in a fight? I spotted the deer before 

gun season started, so I don't think it 

could have been broken off by a bullet. 

Maybe the antler did not grow completely. 

Growing antlers are very delicate 

and can be damaged easilv. As the 

bone of the antler is growing, the velvet 

covering of the antler is nourishing 

the bone with blood. Blood brings all 

the necessary nutrients to the growing 

bone. If the blood supply should be; cut 

off for some reason, the antler would 

not be able to grow. Maybe the velvet 

of the left antler was scored around 

the base like a, tree is girdled. Thi§ 

would have prevented any nutrients 

from getting to the upper part of the 

Sntler. Without nutrients the antler 

would not have been able to grow. K 

- Antler growth can also be affected 

fey an injury to the body. Generally an 

injury to the right side of the body 

would cause damage to the left antler. 

Maybe the animal was injured during 

the growth of the antler, but the injury 

has since healed and is no longer visible. 

; Without closer examination I can 

only speculate on why the antler did 

Hot grow, but it should not affect the 

buck's survival. Many injuries to animals 

do affect their survival. House 

finches afflicted with the bacteria: that 

causes an eye to swell shut is at a disadvantage. 

If an individual cannot see 

out of one eye it will not be able tofsee 

a predator approaching from the direction 

of the injured eye. A fast 

approaching hawk would be able to 

exploit this disadvantage. 

One day we found a blind mouse in 

our basement. It was a young individual 

based on its size, so when it rail 

and did not seem to know where it was 

going I did not think much about it. 

But as I watched it a little longer I 

realized that it had no direction 

because it could not see. A mouse with 

this kind of disability would not survive 

long in the wild. There wouldjbe 

no siblings to help it get food, no parents 

to ward off predators and it would 

not be able to see food or physical dangers. 

t 

Most injuries ultimately result in 

the death of an animal, but injuries to 

non-essential areas can permit them 

to survive.

GUEST 

COLUMNIST B: 

y this time of 

year, many 

anglers have ; 

put away their ro$s in 

favor of shotguns knd 

rifles. : 15':"" 

The dedicatedffiy 

fisher who is wiling, 

to brave cold wat^r, 

however, has many 

JEFF fishing opportunities 

MCGOWAN jn store. Thanks to 

new trout regulations, 

all "flies only" water in the State of 

Michigan is now open to year-round 

fishing. 

Trout streams that are normally 

crowded with fishermen and canoes 

are deserted this time of year. 

Anglers who truly crave solitude 

should try fishing during deer season 

— but be sure to wear some blaze. 

orange clothing to avoid being mistaken for a deer. 

The biggest attractions on the rivers now are steelhead 

and salmon. Salmon entered the rivers in September at 

the beginning of their spawning runs. Salmon die after 

breeding, so most of those fish are already dead and gone. 

Steelhead don't spawn until spiring but have followed 

the salmon into the rivers to feed'on eggs. These giant ; 

lake-run rainbow trout will continue to trickle in over the 

winter until it's time to breed. 

Anglers who know the excitement of fighting a steelie 

from a Great Lakes charterboat should try fishing for 

them in the rivers. 

Flyfishers enter the water to fight the fish face-to-face 

with light rods. Reels should have a good drag system to 

prevent the light leader from breaking when the fish 

runs. 

Occasionally, a steelhead will leap into the air and 

dance on its tail before crashing back into the river. When 

this happens, the fish can land oh the leader, breaking it. 

To avoid losing a fish, anglers are advised to "bow 

before a rising fish." By lowering the rod tip, slack is put . 

into the line to prevent breakage.. 1 

The flies used for steelhead fishing are very simple. ; 

One of the most effective patterns is the egg fly, which 

can be little more than a piece of yarn tied to a hook. 

Another simple pattern is the : green caiddis nymph. 

Both of these patterns are easy for beginners to learn how 

to tie.

ave Sill j^jack 

in town. He 

had moved to 

Chicago, the land of 

"Da Bears" and 

cement beaches. - 

Seven years oftrying 

be a Cubs fan can 

wear thin, so with the 

opportunity to open a 

new pro shop at Novi 

Bowl, here he is. 

Some of the area 

bowlers might remember him from 

the pro shop at Westland Bowl, 

which he operated before he moved 

three hundred miles west. The surname 

of Sill is well known in bowling 

circles, as Dave had been married to 

Aleta for many years. It was Dave 

who recognized the talent and developed 

her game to a higher level as 

she was getting started on the ladies 

pro tour. 

In the early days, prize money wasskimpy 

and even as she was winning 

tournaments, the tour was not very 

profitable. Dave had been on the, 

PBA men's tour himself, but gave 

that up to open the pro shop and . 

keep on coaching Aleta. 

Things change in life for various 

reasons, and Dave even today does 

not know what caused the split, But' 

they divorced and went their separate 

ways. 

Note: Aleta Sill was on ESPN-TV 

last Monday with a third place -finish 

at Sam's Town in Las Vegas. It was 

one of the "Triple Crown" events, and 

even though she performed very well 

with a 243 game, she still lost; her 

only match. Dave eventually remarried 

and is now raising a family. He 

has settled into the new shop at "Novi 

Bowl and is also the day manager in 

addition to running the pro shop. 

Dave Sill brings a lot of expertise 

in fitting and proper selection of 

equipment. He is available for 

lessons during the day and is able to

ability. She will be available for

PWBA ladies tour. DavidJ it's nice to 

have you back in town. Good luck in 

business, and Go Lions! :j| 

The pro shop, is the important link 

between the bowlers and the manufacturers. 

Not only do pro shop operators 

fit and drill the proper equipment, 

they make sure yoia are getting 

-the right, ball for your ability and 

that it fits your hand corjfectly. The 

pro shop will help you with the best 

advice on how to improve! your game 

•whether it is equipment or lane play, 

analyze your delivery an4 help in 

every way they can, for you are their 

livelihood. 

Fitting is a lot more than drilling. 

The pro shop will set up tjhe balance 

jaoints and pitches to work best for 

are only slightly more complicated. All are available in 

flyshops at home or near the river. 

The flies should be fished as close to the bottom of the 

river as possible. Some flyfishers use monofilament or 

running line with split-shot attached to a long leader. 

Other anglers use sink-tip flyline with a short leader. 

No matter which method is used to get the fly down, it is 

important that the fly drifts naturally at the same speed 

as the current. 

Steelhead can be found all over the state. Some of the 

: best rivers, like the Pere Marquette or the Manistee, are 

found on the western side of Michigan. The Rifle River 

and lower AuSable on the "sunrise side" also provide good 

; fishing. 

These rivers are close to grouse and deer hunting 

opportunities on nearby state land. 

Anglers who cannot make the drive up north can find 

Smaller runs on local streams like the Huron and Clinton 

rivers, which peak in late November. 

' To learn more about steelhead fishing, consider joining 

the Michigan Fly Fishing Club. Meetings are at 7:30 p.m. 

on the first and third Wednesdays of the month at 

Clarenceville Middle School in Livonia.

your particular style. If you are a 

happy bowler, you will return from 

time to time to buy whatever you 

need from your local pro shop. You 

can buy a cheap ball at the chain 

stores and not get proper fitting, or 

do it right and get to the pro shop. 

You can even buy on the Internet, 

but are you getting a full quality 

product? Perhaps, but it is an unfinished 

product. It still has to be fitted 

and drilled. Most pro shop operators 

are also expert coaches and are able 

to give lessons, usually by appointment. 

An interested spectator was present 

at the Cloverlanes All-Star 

Bowlerettes league last Monday 

night in the person of Michelle Feldman, 

a PWBA champion from 

Skaneateles, N.Y. She is often seen 

on the televised finals of the PWBA 

tour. She and Kim Terrell share the 

distinction of having bowled the only 

300-300 tie match game in the history 

of both the WIBC and the ladies 

pro tour. It took place at Don Carter 

University Lanes in Davie, Fla. on 

Sept. 13. 

This Saturday the seventh annual 

Strike Out Child Abuse Bowl-A-Thon 

took place at Cloverlanes in Livonia. 

There was an excellent turnout and a 

good time was had by all in this notap

Madonna claims WHAC title; SC ousted 

So who do you trust? 

Madonna University's volleyball 

team had answers to that 

question long ago. The Lady 

Crusaders knew who could be 

counted on for what. At last 

weekend's Wolverine-Hoosier 

Athletic Conference Tournament, 

hosted by Cornerstone 

University in Grand Rapids, that 

was proven once again. 

Senior middle hitter Brandy 

Malewski (from Redford 

Thurston) powered through both 

Siena Heights and regular-season 

co-champ Cornerstone, collecting 

a total of 59 kills in the 

two matches to help propel 

Madonna to the tournament 

title. 

The Crusaders, now 36-6 overall 

(and also the WHAC cochamp), 

advance to the fourteam 

NAIA Region VIII Tournament 

this weekend at Grace College 

(Winona Lake, Ind.). 

Madonna faces Indiana Wesleyan 

at 10 a.m. Saturday. Cornerstone 

goes against Grace at 

noon, with the championship 

match at 5 p.m. Saturday. 

The win over Cornerstone Saturday 

could be considered a sur- 

prise, since the two teams have 

owned the rest of the WHAC 

during the season and split their 

regular-season matches, each 

winning convincingly on their 

home court. 

But the Golden Eagles held no 

home-court advantage this time. 

Madonna struggled for the first 

two games, winning the opening 

set 15-13 but losing the second 

15-7. The Crusaders then took 

command, winning the next two 

games 15-9, 15-8. 

Malewski finished with 25 

kills with an exceptional .611 

kill percentage. She also had 

team highs in in digs with 24 

and in blocks with six. 

It was hardly a one-player performance, 

however. Kelly Artymovich 

collected 20 kills (.405), 

with 15 digs, four blocks and two 

service aces, and Erin Cunningham 

had 13 kills (.522), 13 digs 

and four aces. 

As a team, Madonna hit an 

impressive .434.

that distinction. 

With Schoolcraft College, Iowa 

West and Kankakee (111.) CC 

competing for the right to 

advance in the NJCAA Tournament, 

the pivotal match proved 

to be that between SC and Iowa 

West. Unfortunately for the 

Lady Ocelots, Iowa West proved 

to be the better team, beating SC 

15-10, 9-15, 15-7,15-11. 

The Ocelots did rebound to 

upend Kankakee in straight 

sets, 15-11, 15-10, 17-15, but 

when Iowa West also bettered 

Kankakee it didn't matter. The 

team with the best record 

advanced, and that was Iowa 

West. 

Leading the Ocelots in the loss 

to Iowa West were Amy Kiefer 

with 15 kills and five blocks; 

Nicole Boyd (Westland/Livonia 

Franklin) with nine kills; Fran 

Hamilton with eight kills, two 

service aces, eight digs and six 

blocks; Andrea Kmet (Westland/Franklin) 

with six kills, five 

digs and four blocks; and Jana 

Nitschke with three kills, five 

aces, 12 digs, three blocks and 27 

set assists. 

In the win over Kankakee, 

Hamilton had 13 kills, three 

aces, seven digs and three 

blocks; Boyd had 10 kills (.312 

kill average), five digs and four 

blocks; Kmet totaled 10 kills 

(.267), 12 digs and three blocks; 

Rebekah Thornton (Livonia

three blocks; and Nitschke with 

five kills (.364), 16 digs and 28 

set assists. 

SC, which played the final 

month without one of its top 

players in Lauren Ruprecht 

(Livonia Churchill), who was 

sidelined with a bad back, concludes 

its season with a 24-13

as well. I worked with Matt 

daily. He's one of the greatest 

musicians living. What a kick to 

play with him and the trio in 

such an intimate setting (as 

Ron's Fireside Inn). It's a thrill 

and a music lesson all rolled into 

one." 

Those are just some of the reasons 

Cooper hand-picked 

Michaels for his debut recording 

Watching for Watchung Plaza 

featuring Michaels, a Southfield 

pianist and director of jazz studies 

at Wayne State University, 

on keyboard; Chris Collins, tenor 

saxophonist and a WSU faculty 

member who toured with the 

Phil Collins Big Band, Dave Taylor, 

an adjunct instructor at 

Wayne State, and Jeff Halsey, 

director of jazz studies at Bowling 

Green State University, on 

bass. The disc was recorded over 

two days. 

'"I booked two, five-hour sessions 

and got most of it down in 

one or two takes," said Cooper. 

"Matt is the best prepared musician 

I've ever met. He's the 

musician's musician." 

Best student 

Michaels remembers Cooper 

as his "best theory student." He 

heard some of the material for 

the CD when Cooper played with 

his trio last year. Michaels' 

favorite is Pocono Serenade 

because of its traditional feel. 

"John's a very good composer," 

said Michaels. "When I brought

The result of Eisendrath's latest 

creative surge is on display 

at the Kerrytown Concert House. 

Hand carved vessels masquerade 

&s sculptural objects. In school, 

Eisendrath worked in clay but 

when he couldn't find "kiln space 

he turned to wood, all varieties 

of it from cherry to ash and oak. 

Lyrical, almost totem-like structures, 

vie for the viewer's attention 

alongside mixed media 

works on paper.

a lot of resources. I try 

to write music from the

Musician 

him down last year and he was 

working on some of the material, 

I said keep doing it. His music is 

very good, very authentic sounding 

jazz. He's attacked a few 

styles effectively." 

Cooper describes his music as 

eclectic, a document recording 

"what I was thinking about at 

the time." He began writing 

music at Wayne State in the mid 

1980s when he was playing with 

Trudell as well as The Temptations, 

Four Tops and Lou Rawls. 

The title track was written during 

a 30-minute bus trip from 

New York City to New Jersey 

while Cooper was waiting to get 

off at Watchung Plaza. He 

admits he writes best when on 

deadline. Given too much time, 

he tends to overscrutinize. 

"This is how I think and talk*" 

said Eisendrath. "I continue 

challenging myself. Working in 

wood has been informative to the 

paintings. They really finish 

themselves. They come from 

squiggfes and doodles that begin 

on paper. Once I begin working 

with the wood they take on a 

shape of their own." 

Inspired by driftwood and 

found objects, Eisendrath defines

write music from the aspect of

Latin or rock - primarily 

because I want that to be a point

they can relate to the album." 

One of the compositions on the 

CD, Thadish, is a tribute to Flint 

native Thad Jones. It not only 

speaks to Cooper's abilities as a 

musician and composer but to 

his devotion to teaching. 

"I remember writing this tune 

after I'd been talking to Matt 

Michaels about how much we 

loved Thad Jones' music because 

it had a lot of import for students. 

Thad Jones is one of my 

favorite jazz composers. He has 

this hard-driving swing feel 

that's perfect for teaching students." 

Vehicle for teaching 

Watching for Watchung Plaza 

will undoubtedly become the perfect 

vehicle for teaching students 

about "authentic sounding" jazz 

as well.

Web site www.johncoopermusic.com

sculpture, Hey Look What 1 

Found, by combining different 

colors of wood. 

In the mixed media works, he 

frequently builds up acrylic and 

oil paints to create texture. 

Defining Eisendrath's palette 

isn't easy. His colors range from 

vibrant red and blue to rust and 

sepia. 

What is apparent by looking at 

the sculptures' lyrical lines and 

the paintings' geometric shapes 

and hieroglyphic-like imagery is 

that Eisendrath has transformed 

admiration for the work of Paul 

Klee and Henri Moore into his 

own style. It will be interesting 

ne re. 

which flew apart and came back 

together, remained as popular in 

1890 as 1940. Although for 

awhile, the future of puppetry 

seemed dim. 

Theater movement 

In the early part of the 20th 

century the little theater movement 

was born after the arrival 

of moving pictures. Theater died 

out for a while until dozens of little 

facilities, including the DIA's, 

sprang up around the country. 

"Puppetry was a natural for 

these," said Baranski. "It blends 

live theater, the three-dimensional 

and literature. 

Puppeteers began producing 

Shakespeare and Dickens and 

characters from Faust. Goethe 

got the inspiration from Faust 

from a puppet show. Well produced 

puppetry was done with 

live musicians to operettas from 

Mozart." 

Once visitors have taken in all 

of the puppets, including the 

cakewalkers of Vaudeville, jazz 

singer Josephine Baker and a 

silver screen star Greta Garbo 

on roller skates, they can try 

their hand at pulling a few 

strings. 

Although they won't be able to 

handle the Uncle Sam puppet, 

labor leader John L. Lewis or the 

two-faced politician which were 

used to create satire while entertaining 

troops in Europe during 

the World War II, visitors can 

handle a puppet created just for 

the occasion. 

Well designed puppet 

"With a well designed puppet 

you don't need a lot of skill," said 

Baranski. "If you pick it up it 

will stand with grace." 

The ability to transport life 

into an inanimate object is what 

originally attracted Alva 

Dworkin to puppetry and Detroit 

PuppetArt based at the Detroit 

Puppet Theater. The troupe is 

one of nearly a dozen performing 

in the puppetry festival beginning 

3 p.m. today with Sgt. 

Stone and running through the 

exhibition. Chicago's Redmoon 

Theatre closes the festival with 

The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Love at first sight 

"It was love at first sight," said 

Dworkin, a Southfield resident 

and managing director of Detroit 

PuppetArt. "In The Crane Maid- 

en, the puppeteers become part 

of the show themselves. Puppets 

have such a magical quality. 

They come to life with the person 

operating them and have their 

personality. Children and adults 

love them. Even if children don't 

understand the story, they love 

the color and movement."

STAFF WRITER 

kwygonik@oe.homecomm.net 

Many people have written, and 

sung about "the power of love," 

but few have been able to 

explain how you tap into it. Bestselling 

author Lama Surya Das 

who spent more than 30 years 

studying with the great spiritual 

masters of Asia, including the 

Dalai Lama, helps readers 

embrace "the power of love," in 

his newest book, Awakening The 

Buddhist Heart: Integrating 

Love, Meaning, and Connection 

into Every Part of Your Life. 

If you're dreading getting 

together with family over the 

holidays because of unhealed 

hurts, this book will help you forgive, 

accept and love people as 

they are. 

Surya Das combines ancient 

wisdom, Buddhist principles, 

and humor to explain how to let 

go of negative energy and emotions, 

live with passion and compassion, 

develop self-esteem and 

confidence, and make spiritual 

connections. Each of the 10 chapters 

includes meditations, 

prayers and exercises to help you 

practice what he preaches. 

"Learning to love is the first 

lesson in Spirituality 101," said 

Surya Das. "The connections we 

make as we live our incredible 

lives offer us the opportunity to 

acknowledge and connect to the 

divine in ourselves as well as 

others." 

It doesn't matter "whether we 

are Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, 

Hindu, Muslim, or a non-believer," 

he said. "We all have spiritual 

DNA; that graceful, radiant 

inner spiral that connects us."

BYSUESUCHYTA 

SPECIAL WRITER 

The Player's Guild of Dearborn's 

production of Baby will 

appeal to parents and potential 

parents with its lighthearted 

humor and heartfelt songs. 

The story follows three couples 

facing paternity. Lizzie and 

Danny are college students 

whose impending parenthood 

catches them totally off guard. 

Pam and Nick are a thirtysomething 

couple anxious to conceive 

a child, and trying to maintain 

their sense of humor despite 

the strain it puts on their relationship. 

Arlene and Alan send their 

last child off to college only to 

find out their 20th anniversary 

celebration has started the process 

all over again. 

Director Valerie Haas has 

brought together a talented cast 

witlj strong chemistry between 

the on-stage couples. The men 

and women interact well, too, 

whether they're sirring about 

the challenges of impending parenthood 

or their confusion about 

the dramatic changes about to 

take place in their lives. 

There's an especially funny 

scene where the women can't 

keep their hands off Lizzie's 

belly and begin the all too familiar 

refrain of labor "war stories!" 

Endearing 

Lizzie, played by Emily Tyrybon, 

creates a character with an 

endearing mixture of stubborn 

bravado and uncertainty. We 

• Nancy Valentini of 

Livonia, herself the 

mother of three young 

children, created a 

believable and poignant 

character in Pam, the 

over-eager gym teacher 

who, after years of trying, 

is anxious to conceive 

a child. 

watch her try to rationalize with 

Danny why she feels marriage 

would ruin.vtheir relationship, 

and we feel "Danny's frustration 

as he tries to change her mind. 

Veteran parents laugh ruefully 

as they hear Lizzie .boldly vow to 

"have it all" - career, success 

and a fulfilled life even if she is 

going to become a parent. Those 

in the trenches know she'll be 

lucky to get enough sleep and 

keep up with the laundry. 

Jeff Ostrowski wears his heart 

on his sleeve as Danny, the former 

science turned music major 

who wrestles with how to support 

his new family and convince 

Lizzie to become his wife. He 

ruefully joins a punk rock band 

on a summer tour to create cash 

flow, a decision that takes him 

away from Lizzie. His punk rock 

costume is hysterical, complete 

with a Rod Stewart-like wig and 

lots of leather and chains. 

Nancy Valentini of Livonia, 

herself the mother of three 

young children created a believable 

and poignant character in 

Pam, the over-eager gym teacher 

who, after years of trying, is very 

anxious to conceive a child. Her 

energy is contagious, and she 

draws the initially reluctant 

Lizzie and Arlene in the highspirited 

song, I Want It All. 

Valentini is paired with an 

equally talented Dean Vendal, 

who handles the role of the thirtyish 

husband with an effective 

blend of anxiety and anticipation. 

He rises to the difficult 

challenge of presenting the 

anguish of a father without making 

us feel uncomfortable about 

his masculinity. 

Delightful 

Sally Goodman is delightful as 

the fortyish mom poised on the 

brink of empty nesthood who 

realizes with considerable chagrin 

that she once more must 

start from square one. While 

Mark Byers of Garden City, as 

Alan, is thrilled to have his virility 

reaffirmed, he quickly realizes 

that he no longer has the 

vigor and stamina he did when 

he first started his family. The 

two create a good balance of the 

give and take between a couple 

trying to decide whether they 

could handle parenthood at a 

time when they were expecting 

to be grandparents. They also 

face each other as a couple, having 

always interacted more as a 

parenting team than as a twosome. 

Strong singing 

The singing is strong, thanks 

to musical director Ken Pletzer, 

and Mary C alder's costumes are 

clever. Lizzie and Arlene's pregnant 

profiles seem true-to-life 

and they moved like they should 

when thus encumbered. Calder's 

costumes reinforced the characters' 

personality traits and 

added color and versatility to the 

chorus, from the surgical scrubs 

to campus casuals. The set 

pieces facilitated quick and effective 

scene changes. 

The second act was more serious 

than the first, but it carried 

the warm feelings engendered by 

the funnier, lighter first act. 

Baby is a well-written look at 

parenthood, and will delight 

both parents and the non-initiated 

alike.

DISCOVERING the winter 

BEAUTY months, plus the 

holidays, it's a 

good time to talk 

about skin. 

The best — 

and perhaps 

worst — thing 

about your skin 

is that what you 

see today won't 

MARY ANNE be there in 28 

TOCCAUNO day's time. Any 

s spots or dry 

:! patches will 

trave disappeared — but that 

isecent binge of late night partying 

will start to show depressingly 

soon. 

In order to keep skin looking 

great, you have to play by the 

rules, and then you won't have to 

-.resort to emergency measures 

when you break them. 

-- - They say you are what you eat 

and I'm sure it's partly true. But 

when I spoke to experts, I heard 

..'Afferent opinions. Some say you 

have to abstain from all the 

things that make you happy 

"--fgweets, alcohol, smoking) just to 

look good, while others claim it's 

all pure genetics in the end. 

Even though nutritional therapy 

is used to diagnose and treat 

sjkin disorders, such as acne and 

e s czema, there are doubts as to 

just how great food's impact on 

the skin is. 

A professor of dermatology, 

^.Nicholas Lowe, says in his book 

%" •Skincare Secrets (a great holiday 

* - gift for teenagers) that skin may 

be the last organ to benefit from 

whaS we i'cit According It: i.owe. 

.about one percent of the vitamins 

and minerals that are digested 

:become available to the skin. This 

is why we need to supplement our 

1 

interior and exterior diet with

'-proper vitamins. 

f .When it comes to overall 

' health, skin may not be the most 

* ^vital organ, but its health and 

^ appearance are fundamental to 

" iioth our mental and physical 

well-being. 

Since diet does have an effect, 

. we need to be cognizant of what 

foods are good for our skin. We 

' < feeed to eat more dark green, leafy 

vegetables, citrus fruits, strawber- 

Xiies, bananas and avocados, all of 

. which contain vitamin C, in addi- 

' ; '^tion to antioxidants and other 

j^gainerals which help combat the 

Negative effects of smoking, taking 

birth control pills, antibiotics

Step back in time with a visit to historic 

BY THE THREEOLBAGS 

SPECIAL WRITERS 

Feeling a need to get away 

from it all? Whether it's 

just for the day or a restful 

weekend, you can step back in 

time and be transported into 

19th century small town America, 

well preserved in historical 

Marshall, Mich., less than 90 

miles west of Detroit. 

Here, you can walk through 

leaded glass entry doors that 

belong to another era, into a parlor 

warmed by a fireplace, filled 

with details of everyday life - 

from more than a century ago 

that is. 

You can creak up an elegant 

winding staircase to stay in a 

room where homemade cookies 

and fresh fruit wait for you on a 

doily covered night stand, as 

they did long ago when travelers 

stayed at this halfway stop 

(between Detroit and Chicago) of 

the Michigan Central Railroad. 

You can tour the town to view its 

more than 850 historic homes 

and businesses displaying architecture 

ranging from Classic 

Greek Revival to Queen Anne, 

and actually go inside some of 

them. 

Preservation 

^ In fact, the US Department of 

the Interior has designated Marshall 

a National Historic Landmark 

District because of its 

architectural preservation efforts 

and its important part in American 

History. 

The physical preservation of 

Marshall and its historical heritage 

serve as the backdrop to 

what we found most appealing. 

What stood out to us was the 

warm personal touch that seems 

to be disappearing in our hectic 

hvp« People in Marshall 

seemed to be in a time warp. 

Our first glimpse into this people-friendly 

lifestyle was when 

we decided to stay at The Joy 

House, a bed and breakfast 

north of the landmark fountain 

in the center of town. When we 

called to make our reservations, 

hostess Marcille (Mickie)

special dietary needs, or food 

allergies. She was concerned 

about preparing a breakfast that 

would agree with her "house 

guests." 

That put our expectations on 

high alert, and we weren't disappointed. 

Mickie and her husband, Ed 

Hulscher, met us in the drive as 

we climbed out of our vehicle, 

and helped us get settled in their 

Greek Revival, Italianate bed 

and breakfast. As it turned out 

Mickie was in charge of the bed 

part, and Ed majored on breakfast. 

The Hulscher's have operated 

the B&B for three years, and 

look forward to many more. 

Mickie learned the ins and outs 

ot the bed and breakfast business 

from close friends who operate 

the Heather House in Marine 

City, Michigan. 

Ed must come by it naturally, 

because he certainly made the 

guests feel welcome while we 

were there. The couple agrees 

their favorite part of running the 

B&B is meeting the interesting 

people who come to stay. 

We happened to nose through 

a guest book, and found interesting 

tidbits, including one young 

man who wrote that he proposed 

marriage in our room. The 

future bride wrote, "I said yes," 

under his entry. Now, isn't that 

sweet? 

From the Joy House, we drove 

the few blocks to the Chamber of 

Commerce where we found various 

brochures highlighting 

places of interest in Marshall, 

and met another Marshall resident, 

eager to make our visit 

enjoyable. 

With many museums to choose 

from, the ThreeOlBags decided 

to visit the Honolulu House near 

the center of town. Originally 

built by Judge Abner Pratt in 

1860 to resemble the Executive 

Mansion he occupied in Honolulu, 

Hawaii, where he served as 

U.S. Consul to the Sandwich 

(Hawaiian) Islands. We took the 

tour hosted by an enthusiastic 

member of the Marshall Historical 

Society, whose headquarters 

are in the Honolulu House.

Any trip to Marshall is incomplete

about 15 minutes north of town. 

Turkeyville is home to a huge

FOCUS ON WINE 

RAY & ELEANOR HEALD 

Talkin turkey 

'bout wines 

In a restaurant, we generally scour 

the wine list to find a fabulous wine 

that may be underpriced or one that 

we have not tasted. Then, we look at 

the menu to choose the best dish with 

that wine. 

That's all turned around when 

selecting wines for a Thanksgiving 

feast. 

Generally, the American Thanksgiving 

menu is set by tradition, The varied 

flavor profile of dishes limits the 

number of best matches, but an old 

rule works well, serve the driest wines 

first. 

Since this is the first Thanksgiving 

in the new millennium, you might 

want to play on the 2000 theme. Scattered 

among our recommendations, 

youll find Chilean wines, one of the 

first countries to have vintage 2000 in 

the market. There's also 2000 Beaujolais 

Nouveau from France. 

Best bets and WOW whites 

Sauvignon blanc is a good bet first 

wine. Its citrusy nature gets the palate 

primed for good eats to follow. Getting 

top nod is 1999 Chateau St. Jean 

Fume Blanc $13, followed closely 

behind by 1999 Robert Mondavi 

Coastal, $9, 2000 Undurraga, $7, and 

2000 Santa Rita 120, $7. 

If you want the WOW factor, the 

1999 Tablas Creek Blanc, $33, is the 

best California imitation of a French 

wine around. A blend of Marsanne, 

Viognier, and Roussanne, grapes with 

origins in the Rhone Valley, it's our 

top pick among white wines. Fruitier 

and very exciting is 199S EXP Viogrr.e-r 

Chardonnay is the preferred white 

wine with turkey and all the trimmings. 

You can judge this varietal by price. 

Big fruit, more oak, a higher price. 

Simpler, little or no oak aging, 

under $10 or just slightly over. Our 

chardonnay picks listed by price: 1998 

Robert Mondavi Reserve, unfiltered, 

$36; 1997 Byron Estate, $32; 1998 

Kunde Reserve, $32; 1999 Errazuriz 

Wild Ferment, $22; 1998 Gundlach- 

Buncschu Rhinefarm Vineyard, $18; 

1998 Fetzer Barrel Select, $12; 1998 

Bogle, $9; 2000 Undurraga, $7; and 

2000 Santa Rita 120, $7. 

Mellow reds 

OK, so you prefer reds. To have the 

best taste matches, save those big, 

rich reds for beef, lamb or game at 

another time. Turkey, mashed potatoes, 

gravy, yams, and cranberry sauce 

cry out for mellow reds, such as pinot 

noir, merlot, syrah, lighter cabernet 

sauvignon, but especially Zinfandel. 

Prices here are all over the board. The 

fullest-flavored are $10 and up. 

Winner in the Zin category this 

Thanksgiving is 1998 Dry Creek Vineyard 

Old Vines, $19, followed closely 

by 1998 Murphy-Goode Liars Dice, 

$19,1997 Haywood Rocky Terrace 

Vineyard, $35, and new-comer 1997 

Mariah, $27, from the Mendocino 

Ridge appellation. Best buys Zins: 

1997 Fetzer Barrel Select, $14; 1998 

Chateau Souverain, $13; and 1998 

Bogle Old Vine Cuvee, $10. 

With its superb spice and peppery 

notes, the 1998 Sanford Pinot Noir, 

$35, won this category hands down. 

Subtler, charming versions include: 

1998 Domaine Carneros, $33; 1997 

Byron Sierra Madre Vineyards, $32; 

and 1998 Robert Mondavi Carneros 

$35. 

Cabernet sauvignon does not work 

well with turkey unless it's very 

fruity. So, the lower-priced wines 

with little oak aging are generally best 

matches. We found 2000 Undurraga, 

$7, and 1998 Bogle, $J1, fit this bill. 

Beaujolais Nouveau 2000 comes 

from a great vintage full of bright, 

ripe, savory fruit. You can't miss with 

the King of Beaujolais Georges 

Duboeuf at $9.

Surely Chef Craig Common's

take the family name. 

You might say the word 'common 5 

is an important one in the self-taught 

chefs life. 

There's his Chelsea restaurant 

- The Common Grill. And there's his 

new cookbook - The Common Grill 

Cookbook - due out in late November. 

But there's also Common's cooking

"Go for it," Common declares,

bling good-tasting meals. "As long as 

it makes sense." 

Not surprisingly, common sense 

informs the former Chuck Muer 

chefs cookbook. The 161-recipe book 

begins with recipes for sauces and 

other culinary building blocks. All of 

the recipes have been or are being 

served at The Common Grill. In addition 

to the traditional cookbook sections 

(appetizers, desserts, poultry 

and so on), there's a chapter devoted 

to brunch and another to pizza and 

"If you understand the basics, you 

can not only use my recipes, but 

do much, much more," says Common, 

who opened 15 restaurants! 

and oversaw 16 as a corporate 

chef at the C. A. Muer Corp. 

Common, who grew up in 

Dearborn Heights, started in : 

the restaurant business at 

age 14 as a dishwasher. "My :

However, Common, now 46, knew

where he wanted to hang his hat. 

There was something about the chaos 

and work pace that appealed to him, 

he recalls.

I always told my buddies Tra going to

For many people, Thanksgiving is 

not about plump drumsticks and 

umpteen slices of succulent white 

meat. It's about great gobs of glorious 

stuffing, redolent with savory spices 

and moist with turkey broth. 

"I love stuffing. I just love stuffing. I 

like it before it's cooked, after it's 

cooked and cold from the refngerator," 

said Janet Wysocki of Livonia, who 

plans to host this Thanksgiving's family 

dinner. "Ill make tons of stuffing, 

double what I need." 

Wysocki, who works at Williams- 

Sonoma at Laurel Park Place in Livonia, 

was tempted to try the wellknown 

food and kitchen emporium's 

recipe for stuffing made with bosc 

pears and chestnuts, but... 

"I'll probably make my grandma's 

recipe," she said. 

Alyce and Richard Humphrey of Plymouth 

wait all year for her mothers 

turkey stuffing, made with toasted: 

Italian bread (only from Maria's Italian 

Bakery in Westland) and broth., 

brewed with real turkey feet (only 

from Roperti's Turkey Farm in Livo-: 

nia). 

Perfect stuffing 

"Part of its charm is that we only 

have the real stuffing, I mean the real 

stuffing, once a year," said Alyce. "You, 

have your real giblets and a rich, thicks 

turkey broth make from turkey feet.; 

It's unique because you just don't haveturkey 

feet hanging around the 1 

house." 

The goal in making delicious stuffing 

is to achieve a pleasing balance 

between tastes and textures, says food 

writer and consultant. Holly Garrison 

in "The Thanksgiving Cookbook," 

(MacMillan, 1991, $14.95). She recommends 

using the outer stalks of celery 

(more flavor) and yellow onions 

(select those that are hard with dry, 

papery skin). If you use parsely, use 

only fresh. And if you add nuts - a 

wonderful addition - make sure you 

toast them to bring out their full flavor. 

Turkey, especially the white meat, 

tends to be dry and benefits from a 

very moist stuffing. Moisture can be in 

the form of water, broth, fruit juice, 

milk or wine - or a combination of the 

liquids. Some people add eggs for rich-

GOOD CUISINE 

GROWS OUT OF 

COMMON SENSE 

Ken Abramczyk, Editor 734-953-2112 kabiamezyk@oe. 

and cal't it Common's Castle "* 

Publishing a cookbook, though, was 

never part of the picture. 

- -True, Common has? received national 

attention as a chef; in 1997, he was 

invited to be a guest chef at the prestigious 

James Beard House in New 

Ybrk City. In the same year and in 

1998, a Gourmet magazine readers' 

poll voted The Common Grill one of 

. the top 20 restaurants in the Detroit 

area. 

Still, Common is a bit bashful, even 

a little incredulous, he's about to publish 

a cookbook. 

In fact, Sleeping Bear Press had to 

propose the idea to him several 

times. Then last spring, "I said, what 

the heck, yes, I might as well attempt 

it." 

Then again, Common's cooking philosophy 

- use your head - is probably 

his way of talking down his own culinary 

genius. His other mottos are: 

%eep it simple" and make "darn good 

food with lots of flavor." 

Perhaps that's why many describe 

The Common Grill's cuisine as comfort 

food. While there's plenty of feelgood 

food on the menu and special 

boards - not to mention, the homey 

decor - Common doesn't view comfort 

food as a viable category. 

' "Comfort food is not grandmother's 

meatloaf. It's when you're eating and 

-everything makes sense - the accompaniments, 

the flavors.... All food is 

coimfort food." 

• £rhen again, it onlymakes good 

common sense: there's nothing like 

good food to soothe the soul.

Break from traditional stuffing with these variations 

SYLVIA GRAYE'S STUFFING 

Turkey broth made from turkey feet, giblets and 

neck simmered with celery, carrots, onion, 

bay leaf, a few allspice balls and a pinch of 

sugar 

2 loaves Italian bread, toasted and cubed 

1 roll Bob Evans sausage, regular or sage 

2 large sweet Spanish onions, chopped, 

1/2 bunch ceiery, chopped (enough for 2 or more 

cups) 

1 tablespoon (about 2-3 cloves) garlic, minced 

Small bunch of parsley, chopped 

2 tablespoons dried marjoram (about 1 "palmful") 

rubbed between palms to release flavor 

Salt and pepper 

Pinch of cayenne pepper 

Prepare broth with enough water to yield approximately 

5-6 cups. Set aside. 

In large pan, fry sausage, breaking it into small 

pieces. Drain, reserving 2-3 tablespoons fat. Saute 

onion, celery and garlic in reserved fat until tender. 

Add four cups of broth and the seasonings (save the 

rest for gravy). Dip one bread cube into broth for a 

taste test. If seasoned to your liking, add the remaining 

bread cubes, tossing gently. 

Lightly stuff turkey cavity. Put remaining stuffing 

in greased baking pan and drizzle with melted butter 

for a "crisp" crust. Sylvia Graye is Alyce Humphrey's 

mother. 

FRESH SAGE, SAUSAGE AND APPLE STUFFING 

1 pound bulk pork sausage 

8 slices whole-wheat bread, dried and broken into 

postage stamp-size pieces 

2 or 3 celery ribs, finely chopped (1 cup) 

1 large onion, finely chopped (1 cup) 

2 to 3 tablespoons minced fresh sage or 1 tablespoon 

dried leaves, crumbled. 

1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds, optional 

1 teaspoon salt 

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 

2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and cut 

into cubes (about 2 cups) 

1/2 cup toasted coarsely chopped walnuts 

2 large eggs, beaten 

1/4 pound (1 stick) butter, melted 

1/2 cup half-and-half or chicken broth 

In a large skillet, cook the sausage over mediumhigh 

heat, breaking it up until no pink remains. 

Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and drain 

on paper towels. 

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together the 

sausage, bread, celery, onion, sage, caraway seeds, 

salt, pepper, apples and Walnuts. Drizzle the eggs and 

melted butter of the mixture and toss to combine. 

Slowly add the half-and-half, a little at a time, tossing 

until the mixture is very moist. 

Yield: About 10 cups, enough to fill a 12- to 14pound 

turkey with 3-4 cups left over to bake separately.

CALVADOS RYE STUFFING 

The Calvados provides an absolutely heady aroma 

when the stuffing is spooned from the cavity. 

1/4 pound (1 stick) butter 

4-6 celery ribs, finely chopped (2 cups) 


6 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored and 

chopped (about 6 cups) 

18 slices dark or light seedless rye bread, dried 

and broken into postage stamp-size pieces 

(about 18 cups) 

2 teaspoons dried sage leaves, crumbled 



2/3 cup light cream or half-and-half 

1/3 to 1/2 cup Calvados or other apple brandy 

Heat the butter in a large skillet until molted. Pour 

off 1/4 cup and set aside. Add the celery, onion and 

apples to the remaining butter and cook over medium-high 

heat, stirring frequently until crisp tendercrisp. 

Combine the skillet mixture, bread, sage, salt 

and pepper in a large bowl and toss gently until wellmixed. 

Drizzle the cream over the ingredients and 

toss again. Add the reserved 1/4 cup melted butter 

and 1/3 cup Calvados. Toss gently until well-blended. 

If the mixture seems dry, add more Calvados or 

warm water, a little at a time, until the mixture is 

moist and holds together when lightly pressed 

between the palms of your hands. Yield: 12 cups, or 

enough to fill a 14-16-pound turkey with 4-5 cups 

left over. Recipe from The Thanksgiving Cookbook.

The first American Thanksgiving was celebrated in 

1621 by the English Pilgrims who had founded the 

Plymouth Colony, now in the state of Massachusetts. 

their Native American guests- members of the 

Wampanoag tribe- who brought gifts of food as a 

gesture of goodwill Although this event was an 

important part of American colonial history, there 

is no evidence that any of the participants thought 

of the feast as a thanksgiving celebration. Two years 

later, during a period of drought, a day of fasting and 

prayer was changed to one of thanksgiving because 

rains came during the prayers, gradually the custom 

prevailed among New Englanders to annually 

celebrate Thanksgiving after the harvest.

groan over leftovers; Fix an enchilada casserole 

V A big holiday decision, if you come from a small 

family, as I do, is whether to have turkey with all 

: the trimmings for Thanksgiving or settle for a lesser 

main course. My family usually went for the 

;< turkey - and lots of leftovers. This meant getting 

, good at using up the extra turkey without getting 

, fed up with it. 

Since we all liked dark meat, our leftovers were 

mostly breast meat, which is a lot easier to recycle 

than drumsticks. The first thing my mother did 

\ was strip this meat off the carcass, using the rest 

; to make soup, which provided a flavorful partner 

to go with the leftovers. 

Looking at how we used these leftovers, you can 

' see how eating habits have changed. Our favorite 

was turkey sandwiches on white toast, slathered 

• A with mayonnaise and sometimes bacon as well. 

;• Now, I use whole-grain bread, a great slab of toma- 

; to, some lettuce and a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette 

in place of the mayo. 

A vegetable- and fruit-filled curry is another contemporary 

choice. For this, saute a whole, chopped 

Spanish onion and a diced apple in one tablespoon 

of butter. Simmer them with curry powder to 

: taste, plus a cup of broth, until they turn very soft. 

Add a large, diced potato, cook until it's tender and

then mix in diced turkey at the end. 

Tex-Mex dishes are another way to use up 

turkey leftovers. For fajitas, I brush sliced turkey 

with a flick of oil. Toss on a very hot grill just until 

warm. Then roll the turkey in a flour tortilla, 

along with grilled onions, green peppers and salsa. 

Try Turkey Enchilada Casserole. The turkey 

goes so well with the corn tortillas, and everyone 

loves the tangy green salsa and creamy cheese in 

this cozy dish.

SYLVIA GRAVE'S STUFFING 

Turkey broth made from turkey feet, giblets and 

neck simmered with celery, carrots, onion, 

bay leaf, a few allspice balls and a pinch of 

sugar 

2 loaves Italian bread, toasted and cubed 

1 roll Bob Evans sausage, regular or sage 

2 large sweet Spanish onions, chopped, 

1/2 bunch celery, chopped (enough for 2 or more 

cups) 

1 tablespoon (about 2-3 cloves) garlic, minced 

Small bunch of parsley, chopped 

2 tablespoons dried marjoram (about 1 "palmfur') 

rubbed between palms to release flavor 

Salt and pepper 

Pinch of cayenne pepper 

Prepare broth with enough water to yield approximately 

5-6 cups. Set aside. 

In large pan, fry sausage, breaking it into small 

pieces. Drain, reserving 2-3 tablespoons fat. Saute 

onion, celery and garlic in reserved fat until tender. 

Add four cups of broth and the seasonings (save the 

rest for gravy). Dip one bread cube into broth for a 

taste test. If seasoned to your liking, add the remaining 

bread cubes, tossing gently. 

Lightly stuff turkey cavity. Put remaining stuffing 

in greased baking pan and drizzle with melted butter 

for a "crisp" crust. Sylvia Graye is Alyce Humphrey's 

mother. 

FRESH SAGE, SAUSAGE AND APPLE STUFFING 

1 pound bulk pork sausage 

8 slices whole-wheat bread, dried and broken into 

postage stamp-size pieces

dried leaves, crumbled. 

1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds, optional 



2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and cut 

into cubes (about 2 cups) 

1/2 cup toasted coarsely chopped walnuts 


1/4 pound (1 stick) butter, melted 

1/2 cup half-and-half or chicken broth 

In a large skillet, cook the sausage over mediumhigh 

heat, breaking it up until no pink remains. 

Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and drain 

on paper towels. 

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix together the 

sausage, bread, celery, onion, sage, caraway seeds, 

salt, pepper, apples and Walnuts. Drizzle the eggs and 

melted butter of the mixture and toss to combine. 

Slowly add the half-and-half, a little at a time, tossing 

until the mixture is very moist. 

Yield: About 10 cups, enough to fill a 12- to 14pound 

turkey with 3-4 cups left over to bake separately.

Soften and warm tortillas. On a gas burner, place 

one at a time directly on the burner grid, over a medium 

flame, until warm and flat, 20 to 30 seconds, 

turning once. Repeat until all the tortillas are warm. 

If using an electric stove, use a dry, cast-iron skillet 

over medium heat. Place one tortilla at a time in the 

skillet and heat on both sides, about 45 seconds in 

total. To keep tortillas warm during this process, 

stack them on a plate and cover with a dish towel. 

Spread half the salsa over the bottom of an 8-inch 

square baking dish. Cover with two tortillas, tearing 

the second one in half to fit. 

Spread half the turkey mixture over tortillas. Cover 

with half the corn mixture. Lay four slices of cheese 

over corn. Add another layer of tortillas. Cover with 

remaining salsa, turkey and corn mixtures. Lay rest 

of tortillas on top. Spread remaining sour cream over 

tortillas. Top with remaining cheese. 

Bake uncovered until casserole is bubbly and heated
