Police Chief Doug Schaeffer announced Wednesday lhat a.37-year-old San Diego imn living in Redlord confessed lo orchesutiting die series of robberies after being arresled in Allen Park die nighl before. Louis Golemalis, owner of ihe l-azy Lizard Restaurant in 's Main Street development, said he was in the Bank One across Gnuid River from his restaurant about 3 p.m. Tuesday by accident. "Normally 1 don't make the deposit. Usually my cousin or my wife does il on Mondays. Il w.is jusl a coincidence tliat 1 was in Uieie," he said. It was a coincidence dial proved lo be veiy unlucky for die 37-yearold woman standing al tiie window next to Golemalis. Dressed in a floppy hat and sunglasses, she had jusl handed tiie teller a note announcing a holdup. Goleniahs said his teller tried lo tell him what was happening, bul he didn't realize it until after die robber was gone. ".'Ml dieir faces went white and dicy just stopped." lie recalled. After answering questions from Police, Golematis amumcd lo his restaurant where he told his employees what had happened. "I tried 10 make a joke of it," said Golemalis, who admitted the full irnpacf has yet to sink in. - He said when he first came into the restaurant iliere was a nondescript woman sitting at the bar who looked somewhat familiar. The woman, who was liying to call a taxi, ran from die restaunmt when Golemalis started telling his sloiy. Lindsay Ladca, who has worited at die resuiurant as a waiuiess for about a year and is suldying criminology at Schoolcraft College, said she became suspicious "because of die way she was look-- ing. The way she moved her head. The way she jumped oul of her seal when Lou started telling his sloiy." Laika, who has relatives on the Troy, Detroit and Ypsilanti police departments, jumped in a mfck with Golemalis and started searching phone booths in the ana. Eventually they found die woman al the nearby Red Hot and Blue Restaurant and led police dicre. I^ter members of Oakland County's SONIC unit found a ear in Allen Park thai had been tied to bank robberies in Farmington Hills and Plymouth Township and arrested the San Diego man, who is on parole for convicdons lliere.

Police said Valerie Smith, 37, was found in her vehicle al about 10:40 a.m. on Nov. 8 in the park located at Eight Mile and Napier roads. Police and emergency personnel were dispatched to die area after receiving a 911 call from two walkers who said they saw a "suspicious" car. According lo reports, die wimesses said die car was mnning and the driver was "slumped" over the steering wheel. Smidi was transported to Providence Paric Medical Center and pronounced dead al ihe hospital. Emergency medical services were performed on Smith upon arrival, officials said. A report by the Oakland County Medical Examiner's office revealed Smith died from sharp cuts to her neck. ShaelTer said two knives were found in die vehicle. Police said investigations at Uiis point indicate tlie incident was a suicide and not a homicide and expect the case will be concluded willjn a couple of days. This brings 's 2002 publicsuicide total to three, widi all bodies found in common areas in the last sue months. "Suicides are not uncommon," said Police Chief Douglas Shaeffer. "Every community experiences them. " has experienced three in a radier short time span and diat is somewhat high; although, we rourtnely have several a year." Shaetfer said it is not unusual to find suicide victims in a public setting, bul not usually in a public place where there are high concentrations "Suicides are uncommon. community experiences them." Douglas not Every Shaeffer Police Chief of people. Sandy Krahn, coun.selor al the Community Counseling Center in, concumid, saying a suicide taking place in a secluded area is not uncommon. What is uncommon, she said, is a suicide happening in a public place for odiers to watch. "Most people commit suicide alone, by themselves in secluded places," Krahn said. Krahn said people who travel to a different location other than their home geneially don't wiini Uieir cbildien, spouses or otiier loved ones to see, nor do ttiey want someone to have to clean up iheir mess. "Most of tiie dme when someone carries it dirough. alcohol is involved or diey are terribly depressed and have not spoken lo a tiierapist" she said. The chief of police said all police responses to a suicide or any unattended deadi Is to begin die investigation based on the assumption the death is a homicide, as was die case in die Smith Investigation. "That method ensures we are doing eveiyrtiiing possible to ensure a successful conclusion to an investigation," Shaeffer said. "As evidences are uncovered, the investigation will switch to one of the otiier causes of death such as poor healdi or suicide." Shaeffer said probably the best prevention against suicide is paying attention to the mental healdi of tho.se around us. In June, tiie bodies of two men were found dead at two separate locations. police mled botii incidences suicides. On June 5 at about 6:40 a.m.. a 23-year-old male was found hanging fidm a barrier surrounding a dumpsler in the block of Catherine Industrial Drive.

"We definitely did much better tlian what normally occurs during a midterm election," she said. According to statistics compiled by the City Clerk's ofllce, 24.6 percent of residents voted in the primary election, meaning the actual general election turnout more than doubled. In August, after realizing about 23,000 residents did not vote in the primary, Cornelius vowed during her Aug, 26 performance review she would make it her priority to bring more cily voters to the poles.

The Great Gallery Sell-ojfSale C o u n t y t r a i n s l o c a l fire fighters f o r h a z a r d o u s s i t u a t i o n s By Phil Foley STAFF W/RITER Il took the threat of violence from the shadowy world of international terrorism, bul Western Oakland County communities will soon be a litlle safer from the mundane comings and goings of freight trains and delivery trucks. Neariy 60 iire ligiilers from Western Oakland County Communities, including Wi.xom and Walled Lake, are within weeks from completing a y6-liour hazardous materials materials technician course at Oakland Community College's Auburn Hills campus. In the wake of the terrorist attacks on Ihe Worid Trade Center and the Pentagon, Oakland County Administrator L. Brooke Patterson decided to sel aside $1.7 million for training and equipment for fire departments in the county's outlying areas. "This is something we've needed for long time," observed Jerry Walker, director of public safely Coe Rail uses about five miles of what was once Grand Trunk Railroad tracks for the Walled Lake Dinner Train and the rest of Ihe line has been transformed into bike trails. Fire Chief George Spencer said the most serious incident in Wixom during his 40 years wilh the department when ;i tanker carrying molasses jumped the tracks at the CSX crossing at Pontiac Trail and Wixom roads. No material was lost, but, Spencer noted, "Il could have been a real sticky situation." While observing that Wixom has "never had a problem" wilh a hazardous materials situation. Spencer added, "knowiedge means safety." Getting thai knowiedge has been something of a problem for smailer departments in lite county. Spencer noted that prior lo the counly-i'unded training, only three hazmai technicians in his department had received their training through other departiiienls. He added if he had to cover Ihe cost of the three people he has al the county's hazmai school, it would have u.sed up half his training budget for the year "I couldn't afford that," he said. Walker, like Spencer, Oakland County will spend to train the four fire fighters he has in class now along with the two he plans in Walled Lake. Although the county-funded training is intended to prepare local fire fighters lo be prepared for an attack by weapons of mass destruction, Walker noted, "a hazmat incident can happen ai anytime on a daily basis." In May residcnis of the Village on sending in February would of Polterville, near Lansing, had to be evacuated for a week after a Canadian National trail hauling propane derailed there. Closer to home, recalled Mike Loper, project have eaten up three-quarters of his annual training budget. Walker noted that while there's litlle chance of a large scale spill of hazardous materials as the coordinator for Oakland resuit of a train wreck in Walled County Emergency Response and Preparedness, two CN employees Lake, scores of tank trunks cul through his city of 6,700. Those where killed and two more tank trunks carry everything ^injured in a Springfield Township train collision iast Noveinbeir. 1^ Train wrecks don't pose much of a threat in Walled Lake, where from gasoline to poisons and fertilizers used for iawn maintenance. "We aiways knew we had capability to respond to these sorts of things," said Walker, "Bul we knew help had to come from Ihe other side of county." Loper noted that for years when communities along the county's western edge needed a hazinat vehicle, they called on the conimunties lineing Woodward Avenue for mulual aid. However since Sept. II, Ihose vehicles in Central and Eastern Oakland County have been much busier According to Loper, last October along law enforcement agencies in the county responded to more than 2,000 "wliile powder calls" following Ihe Anthrax scare in Florida and Washington. In the prior decade, he.idded, there had been just 900 suspicious package reports. Spencer said il has been just as important for his fire fighters lo learns what's nol dangerous as whal is. The goal, said Loper is to "make sure we are 100 percent covered 100 percenl of the lime." To lhat end, Loper said the county has ordered two $300,000 hazmai vehicles, one of which will likely be biised in Commerce Township and the other somewhere in Northern Oakland County. Loper said that while based in Commerce Township, the vehicle will be rotated among the 10 communities of Southwest Oakland County. That way hazmai technicians in each of the communities will able to slay familiar wilh the vehicle and its equipment, "We'll be light years ahead of where we were, but 1 hope never need it," offered Loper.

The first 45, however, will be in clinging to the southern end of Island Lake. Along with the 5,503 square fool Malvern prototype, seven other.signature Series homes are under construction, pulling the company well on its way lo meeting its goal of building a dozen of these high-end homes a year. Ron Boshaw, Island Lake's senior project manager, said that while Ihe Malvern is ba.sepriced at $979,975 for the standard squarc-foot version of the home, the houses currently under construction are averaging $1.3 million. He said he e.kpects the average home price to increase as the project moves toward build-out. Boshaw said he expects the last of the Signature Series homes al Island Lake to be completed within five years. The prototype, which includes many of the 900 available options as well as an additional 500-square-('cet of living space, was completed for $2 million. Boshaw said Ihal while the showcase home isn'l for sale at ihe moment, "If someone makes the right offer..." Although SEMCOG has reported a drop in housing starts in the Detroit Metro Area, Boshaw said things are "going very well" al Island Lake. He attributed ihe projcci's sirong sales lo the project having the only undeveloped lake in the area and the strength of die School system. He noted the bulk of sales in the project have been to current residenis, "moving up." According to SEMCOG reports, Uie city has issued 36 percent more single-family home permits during the first nine Inomhs of 2002 tliat ii did ' during same time period last year. Boshaw said dial while mosl people who are in the market for a Signature Series home arc somewhat insulated from the ups and downs of die economy, diey're still looking for value. He said one of ihe mosi valuable Ihings people get when buying a Signature Series home is peace of mind. He said thai while most of the buyers could easily afford a home custom designed by an architect, many of them have and are disenchanted wiih the iwo years ii general takes to begin construction and the escalating price tag once construction begins. Boshaw said that even though all the Signature Series homes begin from a few basic designs, die more than 900 options Toll Brothers offers guarantees enough variability that its customers don't have to worry about having the look of expensive tract housing.

Downs was a "tin puncher," making cha.ssis for computer manufacturers. Today his new company, OEM Micro.Solutions, is designing and building niche market computer systems and looking to double ils revenue. Dunng its first 10 monihs of operations OEM Micro Solulions did well enough lo make Entreprenuer magazine's "Hot 100" list for Downs.said he expects company revenue for this year to hit $3 million. "We're never going to be the the GM of,".said Downs. Bul, he added, he can see his company hitting the $20 million to $25 million range in the ncxl five years. Currently OEM Micro Solutions' hoi product is the Mobile Data Center, a purposebuilt eompuler for use in police cars and otiier emergency service vehicles. Downs said OEM Micro Solulions reeenlly signed a contract with the Fort Wayne (Ind.) Police Department to replace the laptop computers in the department's 400 vehicles wiih Mobile Data Center. He added the city's fire department is looking at the system, as is the sheriffs departmeni there and police departments in Indianapolis and Baltimore. Downs said providing police departments with computer equipmeni looks like a solid market since police departments tend to replace everything on a threelo-five-ycar cycle. The company is also building a portable digital imaging system i"or photographing newborns in hospitals and a kiosk for creating custom greeting cards. He said the finn his company is making the kiosk for is in negotiations with Wal Mart and Target, which could eventually lead to OEM Micro Solutions building between 4,000 and 7,000 units. Downs said he doesn't see his firm taking on the Dells and Gateways of this world, but he does see a very viable niche market serving specialized customers who can't quite find what ihey're looking for in a catalog. He said that while OEM Micro Solutions uses a lol of components made by other manufacturers, "we do more than jusl bolt things togclher." He said Ihe Mobile Data Cenier is a perfeci example. He said police in Fort Wayne were complaining lo his company's software partner. Solution Point, that their "ruggedized" laptop computers broke loo often; Iheir screens were hard to read in the daytime; JOIN AMERICA'S MOST RELIABLE NATIONAL WIRELESS NETWORK. P L U S G E T and the docking sialion took up too much space. He said OEM Micro Solulions created a smaller, more flexible mounting system and then equipped an inicgrated CPU with a touchscreen-capable LCD display and a water resistance, backlil keyboiu-d. Downs said he moved the company from ils original home in Ypsilanti, in part because he sees this as a "burgeoning high-tech area" and in part because he believes is more centnilly located to his potential customer M O R E A N Y T I M E M I N U T E S T H A N E V E R B E F O R E.

CORNER OF NEWBURGH ROAO AND SIX MUE ROAD By Phil Foley A Saginaw company's plans to transform old tires into helicopter landing pads and light armor for the military could mean $2.4 million in sales for a Wixom robotics firm in the nexl year. Denlin Corp unveiled two new products at Flow Robotic Systems Oct. 28 a system of inlcrlocking nibber mats call Treadoles and a "ballistic blanket" made from lire crumb and resins thai are currently considered scrap in Ihe industry. The key lo ihe products is wiilcrjet cutting lools produced by Flow Robolic Systems, said Dennis Martin, Dentin's CEO and llie inventor of tlie two products. According to Ed Reisinger, Denlin's operation.s vice president. Flow Robotic allows his company to cut the tread from used tires. Then, after the tread has been bonded to a backing surface made of shreadcd tires and proprietary resins, cut the material into interlocking panels. Reisinger said that while the panels were designed lo creale temporary landing areas for helicopters, he sees a wide range of applications for the material from creating temporary roads to use as a building material in Third World countries. He said his company's two products have the advantage of being lighl-weight and cost-effective. Jennifer Wojikiewicz, ihe company's vice president for public relations, said ballistic blanket is currently undergoing lesls al Eglin Air Force Base in Florida and Treadoles is being tested at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in IVlaryland. However, Denlin hasn't gol a signed contract to produce either material yet. Still, Martin is very optimistic about sales. He said he's been approached by Chiquita Bananas about creating temporary roadways for their banana plantations in Honduras. Martin said he is especially optimistic about Treadoles because unlike the steel mesh cur- Pholo by Phil Foley From the left, Ed Reisinger, Denlin's operalions vice president; Jennifer Wojtkiewicz, the company's vice president for publlc relations; and Dennis lwartin, Denlin's CEO and the inventor of the two products. rcnily used by the mililarty I'or temporary landing pads, his product creates a solid landing surface which would prevent sand jind other materials from being sucked into the turbine engines that power military helicopters. "This product will undoubtedly save lives," declared John Espinosa, a staffer for U.S. Rep. Jiimes Barcia (D-Bay Cily/Saginaw). While Reisinger said he hopes to liave final approval from Ihe military for llie company's products, Duanc Snider, an applications engineer with Flow Robotics, said it lakes about 12 weeks lo complete one of his company's machines. Me noted Flow Robotics is currently building aboul 80 similar machines a year. Jim Fraught, president of Northwest Tire and Service, said he's excited by Ihc potential of Denlin's products because Ihey could help eliiiiinalc the nine million tires scrapped in Michigan alone annually.

What began as the Pere Marquette Railroad Employee Credit in a Detroit railroad depot 65 years ago, today serves people who live and work in from offices on Haggerty Road between Eight and Nine Mile roads. Starting next month, credit union members will be able to take care of business at a new 1,300-square-foot office in McAlughins Shopping Center on Grand River Avenue. "We wanted something a little more centrally located, something a little more accessible for our members," said Anthony Musu, the credit union's sales and marketing manager. Besides, he added, the credit union's Haggcrty Road office has become a little crowded. He noted in the six years since Community Credit Union rechariered and moved from Dearborn, assets have grown from $20 million to $40 million. Musu said along witil moving Ihe credit union's threemember mortgage department to its new branch office, located near The Library Pub, the credit union will be adding between three and four new positions lo keep up with the demands for member services.

Dr. Rita Traynor, assistant superintendent for Instructional Services, presented the report to the board. The report states that the committee will provide the board of education with suggested opiions i'or future kindergarten programming. The study group will address concerns of parent groups that have been brought lo Ihe attention of the board. These concerns include: The feasibility of additional program options for half-day kindergarten students that would augment or support the present half-day kindergarten activities. For instance, it would be more lhan child care, but would be fee supported. Ttlic equity and accessibility of the full-day program at Deerfield. maintaining the program as it is and sustaining the philosophy of the magnet.school option. The budget equity of the fullday program at Deerfield versus the half-day programs in the other elementary buildings, focusing on equity of programming and cost efrectivcness. The organization of feeba.sed, full-d.iy kindergarten options that are aligned with the present half-day kindergarten programs. Academic enrichment programming for half-day at ihe same school as the half-day programming. The transportation issues and other challenges involved with the choices of programs. "The school board will have to go back and discuss the issues and they will have to make a decision," Traynor said. "If I looked at Ihe present budget, I would say that there isn't enough money to fund an all-day kindergarten right now, but that's something that the board will have to deal with in the next year," According to the report, the committee met twice for two hours each. The agenda included a review of the charge, as well as a copy of teacher/supply cost analysis information prepared by Assistant Superintendent for Business Jim Koster, Variations of student populations and teaching staff at each building were noted. The cost differentiation between schools strongly depends upon the teaching staff experience, as well as the number of half-time teachers versus full-timers. Discussion during the firet meeting on Oci. 1 was to provide some background on the present programs, which included half-days in all schools except Deerfield Elementary, which serves as a magnet.scliool for the district and which was designed to have a fullday kindergarten in a multi-age, continuous progress setting. contlnued on 20 'yhn probably didn't expect to find us in a shopping center.

By David Aguilar State Senator-elect Nancy Cassis (R-) will concede the state's political spotlight today, mostly bccau.se llic I'ornier house reprcsenlalivc believes her republican party is backstage stealing the legislative show. "The new governor dellnilely li;is star quality," Cassis said, ihe 15th District's new senator, an area which includes Milford. Highland, While Lake and Comnieicc townships. "But llieie is no queslion voters relunieil republicans lo tlie legislature in greal numliers. They gave us a solid display of confidence." Cassis, who handily won eleelion lasl week despite being icsled within West Bloonifield, will oflicially move from Ihe slate House to the stale Senate this January. There she will he armed wilh a I'our-year term and likely significant leadershi i opportunities, perhaps.senate majority floor leader. Cassis will be one of only seven reluming senators, a reality which oilers both legislative uncertainly and political opportunity. "Many cliailenges lay in I'roiil REMEMBER ONLY YOU of us come January," Cassis said, ciliiig Ui.\ policy, economic leeovery ami education as Inil a lew. fhougli heartened hy Ciovenior-elecl Jennifer Gianholm's pledge lo unite "one Michigan."

During Ihat scrum, slate revenue sharing payments, a considerable source of revenue for local coimiumities, was threatened. Michigan is mandated by stauile to balance its annual budgel. The Icgi.slalure may face similar battles next year. Cassis said. "I believe the people of Ihis stale don't want gridlock," she said.

She said it would be more prudent to instead make budgetary cuts within the stale's 17 bureaucracies, such as the Michigan Department of Transportation. "1 am hoping that the new governor's n'lessage will remain consi.stcnt with her actions," Cassis said, herself part of a legislative contingent which once turned a $1.8 billion budget surplus into a $1.2 billion budgetary deficit last year. Cassi.s said statewide issues mirror those faced increasingly iiy the Oakland County constituents she represents. Among them, she said growth, infrastructure and education issues remain paramount. "When il comes io growth issue, 1 support local deci.sion making and local control," she said. "You cannot prevent growth from happening, but you can work to control it locally with a solid miister plan. Over regulation is not healthy."

So initially he talked amiably bul pointedly about his Michigan roots ;ind values and his experience in state government. That never cut much ice, mostly because it expressed an attitude rather than conveying a program. And an attitude is only pan way ui ".something." Then, seeing persistently low polls and deciding to go into attack mode, Posihumus (or his handlers) sought lo find hard content by choosing to inject wliat can only he iinderslood as laee-bailiiig inlo the campaign.

Since our country's founding, neady 48 million Americans have served in the armed forces, defending the ideals espoused by the Founding Fathers. Veterans Day is a day for justifiable pride, not only in ihe way veterans have protected our country, bul also in how we have kepi the beacon of freedom burning lo illuminate the way for others io find values ot seif-detemiinalion and prosperily. I look forward io Velerans Day to pause, refiecl and salute all who have worn uniforms in defending our nation. With thousands of other Americans. 1 ^ the Livingston County Daily Press Ik Affjtis didn't publicize il the way that paper has for the past three months. And there's been times when I'm siltuif! at my desk with a cell phone in one hand, I he office phone in Ihe other while lypinj^ an iiiessaj^e to somebody (dse.

For those of you unfamiliar wilh him, Branford is (he older brother of jazz Irumpeter Wynlon Marsalis and son of pianist fcllis Marsalis. Branford is a monster tenor and soprano sa.vophonist who will solemnly count my blessings and remember fellow veterans I have known over the years. When ihey served their country, ihe soldiers, suitors, ainncn, nianncs and coast guardsmen have made considerable sacrifices ill Ihe form of separation from loved ones, adverse living conditions, mind-numbing fear, exotic diseases, battle wounds, loss of limiis and ambulation and even the ultimate saerince-loss of life, C'urrently. die nation's leaders arc debating the merits of entering yet another war The 25 million living veterans know that even though American lives are placed in harm's way, sometimes the necessity of defending America's ideals is overwhelming. On this Veterans Day, as the prospect of tulure loss hceonics more likely, il is most appropriiilc lo remember the losses of ihose who served Ihcir couniry-from a loss of innocence, lo a loss of the ability to walk, lo a loss of life. I have been a resident and business owner for jusl over.') years. There were a variety of reasons wc chose to move to this community and we arc very happy with our decision. The idea of a new downtown area is very appealing to us and wc are upsel and saddened by the many setbacks il has suflcred. My family certainly tries lo support Main Street businesses and would further support any future development lo spark its growlh. 1 think a bandshell would be gained iioloi-icty as the musical director of The Toiiiglil Show with Jay Leno and as a sidenian on the first two solo albums by Sting, This is a fundraiser for one of Brighton's eleinentary school's PTOs, hut it's much more than that.

As for funding, there's ihc rub. I and many others have felt overtaxed and under.served by this city. For special interest projecls, such as this, I would propose private funding in crcalive ways. 1 have come up with iwo possible ways lo raise the necessary funds. They could be used independently or in concert with one another. The firsl would involve the sale of commemorative brick pavers lo be installed al the bandshell silc, as is done al many locations such as UM stadium. Disncyworld, even the new Catholic Central High School. Various size bricks could be.sold lo individuals, families, even corpor.ations ranging in price from say,$i0(1 to ilooo. Al an average price of,$.^00 only 500 would have to be sold lo raise Ihe $ 150,000. Those who helped conlribule lo the construction would then be forever memorialized al the site ilsell My kids always gel a huge kick seeing our brick at Michigan Stadium. The second possibilily would be to.solicit Kenneth C. Huber business/corporate sponsorship from local President, Michigan Paralyzed Veterans ofaiverica businesses. Placards, signs or a sponsor wall could he created to iionor/advertise those businesses that contributed. As a more ambitious plan, the right lo name the bandshell itself could be.sold at a sel price (i.e.. Ford Field, Conicrica Park). As a small business Backs the bandshell owner here in, I would certainly conlribule. I would also have lo believe lhal the businesses on and around Main Street would likely conlribule as well, since the bandshell would directly benefit lhem. I hope these ideas are helpful. I am strongly vested in and would like to see this city prosper If I can be of any help, please feel free to call upon me.

I;xcculivc Chef Don Waldeninayer opened the reslauranl lasl October with parlner Mark Coffey and the' South Lyon community has responded with welcoming arms. The menu features steaks, seafood and pasta and changes wilh the seasons, offering Ihc freshest products and produce available al that lime. There's no lasl-food here as eacli o.-der is prepared fresh. Bul ihen again, if you're pres.sed for time al lunch there is the daily luncheon buffet that offers an entree, fresh fruit, salad, a choice of iwo honieiiiadc soups and a beverage for $5.99. Executive Chef Waldenmayer.serves up his homemade nicalloaf on Mondays, homemade lasagna and baked ziti on Wednesdays and there is fresh fish Fridays, which usually includes a well-liked favorite, fresh broiled Boston scrod. All-in-all, for $.1.99 it's a great meal deal. "The buffet changes daily and it gives people an oplion if they're in a hurry," Waldenmayer said. "So for people ill a hurry, llicre arc really two options. In addition to the buffei there arc also homemade soups or salads." There are also three to lour fresh fish specials 10 select from every day that may include popular selections like lobster ravioli with sherry cream sauce; Michigan yellow lake perch saute or Block Island swordfish.

"We don't consider ourselves fine dining although our custoniers do," he said. "We're more about fresh products. Everything we buy is fresh; fresh produce six days a week, fresh fish six days a week, the aged meats from a much respected meat cuttel Reasonable prices and good quality food - that's what the Bistro is al! about - it's not pretentious; it's comforiahle."

Well. 1 don't know if the gairie has ever been called Lingo Bingo. There arc more sinister names out there for tlie game that pits co-workers in a race to mark ofi' cliched phra.ses, buzz words and expressions, u.sed by s[x;akels in nieelings. So, for the sake of a family-friendly column we'll call it Lingo Bingo. In Lingo Bingo you need a.sheet of paper filled with overworked corporate phra.ses, a pen imd a long meeting. When you lliink of overworked phrases, think along the lines of: milestone, ofl" the shelves, core viilues, multi-tasking, paradigm, and out-of-the-l5ox. Every time soineone in the meeting says one of Lingo's Bingo's Don Waldenmayer, co-owner and clief of Bistro 127, has expanded the eatery's wine list. allows Waldenmayer to prepare seasonal di.shes such as his lasle-lempting For the hollilays autumn delight, Fall Squash Soup - a Thanksgiving will find ihe Bistro favorite among diners. - ' open from noon io 6 p.m. sefying a "^ "WS-Tiialce'il with frcsh'ftll stj!bbft*'»fimireatric'f1u for-tho.sc w, using Irwin's apple cider to create a honey and we garnish it wilh sweet potato chips," he said, "That's an example of things we can create." If enjoying a nice bottle of wine with dinner is your style, the Bistro offels a selection that includes over anywhere from $18 to $300 a bottle. The wines are primarily from California but the list also includes wines from such places as Chili, Ausiraiia, Washington, France and Germany. "We started out with a small wine list of about 30 wines," Waldenmayer said. "We now have over 100 on our list because of requests by our regular guests." Waldenmayer will also special order wines for gucsis. Sundays mornings can be a special time for families gathering to enjoy a relaxing breakfast buffet for $8.95. With a self-serve omelei station, French toast, Belgian Waffles, fresh Danish, muffins, coffee and juice there's some-. thing sure to please everyone. n e c e s s a r y the time or the inclination to prepare a big meal. It's the first time for the Bistro to offer a special menu and choices will include a traditional-style roast turkey dinner wiih stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy; prime rib; crab-stuffed lobster and Louisiana Louis salad. "It's a limited menu so il is served a lot quicker," Waldenmayer said. "And il's priced moderately for adults, seniors and kids; kids under 4 are free." Other special occasions where a limited menu will be served include Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Limited menus are reserved for special occasions, allowing the chef to focus on a smiill amount of entrees with time to perfect each one, "It's a lot more fun from a culinary point of view," Waldenmayer said. Waldenmayer is a certified executive chef who graduated from Schoolcraft College and has been in ihe restaurant business all his life. He's no stranger to ihe world of phra.ses cross it off the list. The phrases are set up on a grid, like a real bingo sheet, and when a row is crossed off stand up and yell, "Bingo! You're the winnel Whoopee." Fun game, eh? 1 don't think tliere's a nieeting in the world where X'oplc play this game. If ilierc were, I'd love lo hear about it. You can me at lsk@sbam.org with yoursloiy. Tlie fact this game cxisls rai.ses two important questions aboul meetings. Tlie fimi, someone actually sal down, made up the rules, created the game board and sent il to everyone on an list. That guy needs more to do. A lot more to do. The second, and perhaps tlie most alarming question, is that everyone can relate to being in a meeting where Lingo Bingo would be a welcome change. Wliy is that? These are the meetings where 90 percent of the people didn't need to be there and ihe speaker loves io talk... so he or she just goes on and on... despite the lunch hour... despite the topic is boring... despite ihe hot room... despite the doodles and blank stares... despite... -^noro It's what 1 hate alioui meeiings. I'm on a crusade to change meetings for the better. To do so, we need to invite people who really need to be tliere.

The Wildcats, i«ho received District Medals for their victory, haven't won the District Title since By Sam Eggleston SPORTS WRITER St. George? Is that you? The Wildcat defense loolced like St. George a.s they lowered their lances and charged into Ihe fray against a highly touted Lalcc Orion Dragons team November 8. The 'Cats, ied hy an incredible defense, became giant-killers I'or the second week in a row as they ambushed the Lake Orion.squad with a playoff victory. "We're capable of doing anything we put our minds lo," senior offensive lineman Mall Jezior said of Ihe victory. "Il has been incredible. When 1 heard that hasn't gone Ihis far since 1988,1 realized lhat Ihis Is a great accomplishment on its own. It's a great feeling that no one is going to take away. It's Coach Tab Kellepourey jumps a touchdown. with u.s forever. 1 know I'll always remember that night for the rest of my life." The Wildcats, who have now won eight games this.season, will find Iheiriselvcs in a familiar underdog position when Ihey play the always powerful Detroit Catholic Central Shamrocks Saturday at 1 p.m. at Catholic Central High School. "We've been the underdogs every time, including against Milford the first week," junior Brent Pantaleo said. "No one thought we could be Milford again and no one thought we could beat Lake Orion. We did. Now, no one thinks we can beat Catholic Central. If we go out there and play them hard, we might surpri.se them too." The Wildcats found ihemselve-s down 6-0 in the opening quarter as stellar Lake Orion runningback Roger Allison plunged into the endzone from five yards out before Ti-eni Sisson came through and blocked the point-after atiempt to hold Ihe Dragons' lead. The gridders were quick to shock Ihe Lake Orion faithful in the stands as they marched down the field and put the ball through the uprights from 27- yards out with Mark Angelocci nailing the kick. Trailing 6-.^, the Wildcats weren't willing to let things fall apart on them at lhat point, and look Ihe ball on a march down the field before senior Chase Chandler gave his squad the 10-6 lead as he pounded in Ihe ball from threeyards away with two minutes, 16 seconds remaining on the clock. "We got the ball and we knew what we had to do with it," junior Adam Brandau said. "They were an amazingly talented team, but we knew we could do it after the first half." The Dragons, being the number one team in Oakland County prior to heading into this contest, were not aboul to be behind heading into the locker room on their own field. They looked to Allison again as he hauled the ball in from three yards away with just over one minute remaining in the half before quarterback/kicker Nate Recknagei booted the PAT to pul the Lake Orion team up "When we first got there, I'm nol sure how many of us aetiially thought we could win," Brandau said. "After we were down only three points going into the half, we knew that we were capable of beating them." The third quarter found neither team taking a trip into the endzone, but showed the Dragons what it was the Wildcats brought with them lhat would be their ultimate demise their defense. After the defense stymied multiple run attempts by the Dragons, they dropped back into pass coverage just in lime to find junior Kerry job adjusting to Lake Orion and that is one of the reasons we won. Our defensive coaching has been there all year, but wc knew lhat Lake Orion had a lot of very talented players. We were able to adjust lo whal they showed us in the first half, and it worked." There was no way and their coaches were going to lei this one slip from iheir fingers, and Ihey looked to Ihe plays that brought Ihem ihis far behind their very impressive offensive line thai was out-weighed bul far from out-played. The Wildcats pushed the ball 43 yards on nine plays after the interception. They capped the drive as Chandler look the ball to his right and found the endzone from five yards out with 9:08 left on the clock before Angelocci's extni point sailed through to give the 'Cats a final. "That last score was nice," Jezior said. "We managed to get over the goal line and get the lead. From there, we had to hope our defense held tough, and il did." Just minuies later, Kreutzberg brought yet another Lake Orion drive to an end as he pulled down his second pick of the day allowed the 'Cals to pound very valuable seconds off the clock before eventually turning the ball over on downs to Lake Orion on their own 35 yard line with 5:35 remaining in the contest. That was when llie defense really had to buckle down. With just over a minute and a half left to play, the Dragons pushed the ball to 's 17 yard line before the defense really kicked it up a notch. Forcing three plays lo go for no yards, the 'Cats brought on the rush on fourth and 10. giving pressure to Recknagei before he threw the ball too high for even his star receiver, Joel Malkasian, to catch. The 'Cats counted their lucky stars after the ball his the ground, as Kreutzberg pulling down an Malkasian was wide open on the interception late in the third three yard line. quarter to stall a Dragon offensive "It was a relief," Kellepourey push. said. "If he would have caught "Our defense played a textbook that ball we would probably be game," Coach Tab collecting gear this week instead Kellepourey said. "We made of practicing. He (Recknagei) some adjustments at halftime was overthrowing a little, and it PholobyJOHN HEIDER for joy as his squad gets and we came out better matched then we were in the first half. I was because of a nice tailwind we had going. Thanks to that felt that our coaches did a great play, we are preparing to play a team of some very talented football players. Catholic Central is well coached, very disciplined and very talented. We are just hoping to have a good game against them." Chandler ended the night with 22 carries for 86 yards while he hauled down three Mike Hart passes for 14 yards. The senior, who al.so played defensive back and covered Malkasian on the nighl, recorded a single interception as well. Kreutzberg paced the Wildcats on the defensive side of the ball, pulling down two key picks and nolching seven tackles on the night. Allison led the Dragon offensive attack, gathering 122 yards on 29 carries. "He was a very talented mnncr," Kellepourey said. "We knew going into the game lhat he was the kind of player that could hurl us if we didn't stop him. Our defense worked hard, and it showed." knows thai they will have their hands full come this weekend as they take on a very tough and very potent Catholic Central team for ihe regional final. "Catholic Central is a tough team," Pantaleo said. "1 watched them play Canton Saturday and Ihey have a very complex offense and a very complex defense. We are going to have to watch the tape closely and adjust to them when wc play." Being a squad going up a verj' lough squad isn't a strange situation for the Wildcats. Their fist victory over the Milford Mavericks during the regular season came when the Mavs were ranked fifth in the state by the Michigan Sports Writers and Broadcasters As.sociation. Last week, the Dragons were ranked fifth. For the 'Cats, it doesn't matter who is ranked where, but who plays to Iheir fullest potential in the playoffs. "1 don't think it matters who we are playing or what they are ranked," Brandau said. "We play to win or we go home." And no doubt, diesc Wildcats will play lo win. Sam Egglcsfori is the sports writer for the Northville Record and the News. He can be reached at (248) , ext. 104 or at segglestoni8ht. homecomm. net. IsCC too much? No matter whal otiier writers are saying alxiut 's football learn, I'm still going with llie thought that they are underdogs. Well,tnithbetold they are. This squad is going up against one of the premier football teams in the stale of Michigan when they take a trip 10 Redford to Sam Eggleston play the Shamrocks of Catholic Central in a game that, on paper at least, should be a one-sided affair. What? Sam Eggleston is going against his Wildcats? Ha! 1 think nol. Even though we are the underdogs yet again, heading into a contest that seems to have everyone in the state picking us to lose yet again, 1 am still standing sirong next lo ihis squad. In my opinion, we are bringing one of die top defenses in Ihe state to this game. At one point, Milford was ranked fifth in die slate lhat didn't seem to bother the.se guys eidler time they beal them. And Lake Orion? You got il, ranked fifth in die state when wc went to their house and beat them. Now, we have to look at doing the same to Catholic Central. Last year, I made some very wrong comments about Catholic Central. I said they played dirty and didn't have any class. Well, after watching Iheir game against Canton, 1 have to say that I was wrong about CC. Nol only did this squad play a clean, hard-hitting football game, but also kneeled when the opposing quarterback was on the turf with an injury. Heck, even Canton's own squad didn't kneel when llieir teammate got hurt. Tliough CC is big, strong, talented and well-coached, 1 have to say lliat has die tools to work against them. Yeah, 's biggest guy is something like 235 pounds, and CC has a few big boys on their.squad, but I think die difference is in the alhleticisra. Like one of the Wildcat captains told me, nearly any member of the offensive line could play full- - back, and nearly any member of die defensive line could be a linebacker is going lo continue bringing all of die good diings that have brought diem this far. One tiling diat is in dieir favor is that CC doesn't really play against anyone dial has an optionstyle offense like diat die 'Cats will be bringing against diem. Though Chase Chandler had two touchdowns on the night against Lake Orion, 1 wouldn't be surprised to see a few odier players getting into die endzone diis time around. With Mike Hart being a key player on diis Wddeat offense, I can easily see him hooking up widi a tight-route ranning Evan Rodriguez for a score in diis contest. The Shamrocks are no pushovers diough, and are die favorites heading into diis contest. They are going to be bringing a well-coached offense diat have been repetitious in tlieir running of plays throughout die season while their defense is very quick and very effective at adjusting to what is brought against ihem on their end of Ihe ball. Expect diis to be die toughest team die Wildcats have faced dius far in die season. They didn't win the stale championship last year for nouiing, and diey are no doubt looking to do so again. Though die underdogs, I am picking the 'Cats to once again play the role of-david and CC die role of Gohath as die gridders march to victory and a regional championship. l9,ccl2 G A M E OF T H E W E E K I f S L j m ^ ^ Wildcats Football I Catholic Central I Sunday, Novemtier 17 1:00p.m. at Catholic Central 1 hometowhnewspapers.net Sam Eggleston, Sports Writer seggleston < hthomecomm.net 0

Well, his numliers are pretty much explanation enough. Chandler racked up over a grand in rushing yards this ye;ir, doing wh;it he docs best. Fake the hand-off up the middle and jaunt around the end or off i:ickle lor a nice gain. Or, he would fake up Ihe gut and option around the end, often forcing a linebacker or defensive back lo pull off and lake the pilch man instead, hoping to drive Chandler inside to hold his yards as low as they can. Chandler's selection as a Offensive Captain on the All-KVC team list this year seems like it was a given. With ihe yards he racked u() on the ground, nol even including llie yards he picked up ihrowiiig llie ball or receiving it, he was a shoe-in. Thanks to Chandler and the Wildcats, there I.s still a Kensington Valley squad in the playoffs, and that's.something to cheer about.

Long's selection lo die All-Area Dream Team was never in doubt and we are glad to have him as a memlxt of our stellar b^ieklield. L e t ' s s e t t l e t h i s a p p a r e n t c o n f u s i o n Sam Eggleston There seems lo he some confusion on how Ihe All-Area squads ;ire picked around here and why. Honestly, now that it's been explained lo me what the concerns have been, i understand. Tlie way we view it wlien we pick the squads and the way we hope our readers will view the All-Area te;inis i.s more of a "Dre;ini Team" than anything else. Sometimes, such as the ease of tennis this year, we choose to lake a team from ;iiiother lliglit or a player in another position and name them to the All-Area.squad, h'or tennis, it is best explained by saying that though the fourthdoubles teams in our area were tough, they probably would not have beaten the third-douhles team of Gabi Frask and Megha Vadula in liead-lo-head competition. We believed that if wc were to pick a team to compete wilh by choosing out of the best in our area, that l-'rask and Vadula would be the team we would go wilh. It's much like Ihe football team or the wrestling squad. This year, we have chosen Chase Chandler from to play on the All-Area team as a runningback in.steiid of quarterback. Why'.' Because Chandler has belter ground speed ad vision, in our opinion, then throwing accuracy and power. Last year, for wrestling, we picked Ravi Saran of Northville to the All- Area team in a weight class lower lhan he participated in. Why? Bccau.se Saran ;ictually placed third in the state in a weight class higher than what he actually should have been participating We base a lot of the All-Area selection on statistics, but al.so some on personal opinions. Though a player may have been an aclive part of his/lier squad at a certain position, we may believe he/she would be belter suited for another spot on our "Dream Team" All-Area.squad. 1 hope that clears things up for everyone.

V'l'ith his visitin on the field and his c uick release, LaClair would easily lieciime our starting quarierhack when we needed to go to the ail'. His field presence helped lead his squad lo a KVC title which is nothing lo scolt at. Dennis liccdy Junior Souih I.yon When llic Lions needed lo gel things done, they told Reedy lo throw the ball. This junior was an eltcctivc passer as well as an oilfield player that didn't mind taking the controls ;ind piloting his squad to tough wins. Tliough their sc;lson faltered to and end before its time. Reedy showed the conference why it was he deserved lo gel recognition. He also showed lhal South Lyon ftxitb;ill his here to slay and that it's lime for a new- king in the league. Fxpcci Reedy to jusl continue getting lx;lier come next season as Ihe Lions look to build on a solid ha.se of players and get in the hunt for the conference title and the phiyoffs. Mark.Son-nscn Junior Nortliville Tliough only a junior, Sorensen showed all the accuracy and pose of a second-year senior as he liel[ied liic Musliuigs build a base for Iheir new offensive set-up. A quick release and quick to identify an open receiver, Sorensen had more than one great game as he placed himself multiple times on Ihe Ail-Time Passing list for the Noithville High School record books. No doubt, next year will only bring more things to add to Sorensen's already impressive ciu-eer stats, especially with a.solid core of receivers to work with and a program that is starting to take root in Northville. Sean Hooper Lakeland Any time a qu.irteihack is able to collect over a grand in yards, he's probably going to get mentioned in the conference honors as well as a spot on the All-Area Dream Team, iiooper is no exception. This senior was there to see his program rebuild itself in a single year as it made a run at the playoffs under his guidance and his throwing ability. Going 62-for-l03 in pas.sing this.season. Hooper collected 1,047 yards as he notched 10 TD and only four interceptions through the Lakeland Eagle passing attack. When the pocket collapsed and he had to make a run for it. Hooper managed to collect 206 yards on 33 canries. With the determination ;ind dedication he brought to Ihe field, we don't mind making room for an additional quanerback on this All- Are;: Dream Team. Tight End John SowdciTi VVLW In our opinion, Sowders is like the Tony Gonzalez of high schotil. I'ootball. A tight end ihat is capable-'! of catching the football as well as block the defense for ihc rush and the pass is worth their weight in golf. Sowders is no exception. A favorite target of quiuierback Jon Michaud, Sowders found himself on the receiving end of many passes this year as he bioke tlie coverage and got open wliciievcr he really had to. Even if the ball just glanced olt Sowders' fingers, he always seemed to come up with the catch, A very athletic tight end, Sowders would have no doubt been comfortable as a I'ullback or a guard, hut really found his calling as an end. The Warriors will lie liaid-presscd to replace this All-WLAA selection and all-iiround lop-notch light end come next.season. Jim Rhoad Junior Souih Lyon When quarterback Dennis Reedy needed to coniplclc a pass, ihcie is little doubt in our minds that the first person he looked to wa.s Rhoad. This tight end is fully capable of turning the tide of a game in a single catch, because once he ha.s the ball he is going to fight for every inch of yardage he can gain. Only a junior, Rhoad and Reedy will have the chance to hook up again next year as they look to their squad to help lead South Lyon in the hunt for a KVC title and Ihe playoffs. Expect to sec Rhoad getting more than a couple of calche.s next season ;is the Lions will put togetlier a tough offense to bring against Ihe KVC opponents in Ryan Ilenditiclli LuIicliind Though nol catching the most passes in the history of the All- Area Dream Team, we fell Ihat Benditiclli deserved a place as our third tighl end. Catching l.'i pa.sses and rumbling 286 yards. Benditielli racked up an impressive 19.1 yards per catch average and found lhe endzone twice for the rebuilding Lakeland Eagles. Helping fomi a ba.sc of l:ilent for the Eagles to work witii this season, Benditielli is ;in example for his fellow Eagles to follow as they return next year lo show that they mean business in tiie Kensington Valley Coiiferenee. Ex ieet there to lie a void where Benditielli once lined up though, as Lakeland will have a dihicult time replacing such a slrong player come next yean Receivers Tim lllgkln.'i Northville We just love when they throw Ihe ball in Higgins' direction. Growing up in a household that has plenty of football knowledge and faith in life, Higgins proved lo be a key asset for the Mustangs liiis year as it seemed that pretty much every lime you threw in his direction he would come down with the hall. Out of all of the receivers the Mustangs Co-Offensiue Player Of the was a head Ygyf ;ihove the re.sl. He not only broke Ihe All-Tinie Northville High School Touchdown Receptions record, he al.so earned himself and All-WLAA nod as well as one from HomeTown East. Il'.s hard to imagine whal the Mustangs would.bayg been.papable last sea.son,.if,, they would iiavc had a hcalthy-- Higgins all year long. We arc sure ihat the example he has set for others to follow will be the pattern the Mustangs try to cut ihcir receivers from for years to come. Kyle Plummer Milford Wow, this guy is fast. Plumnier was exactiy what the I'ootball gods thought of when they were writing up their plans for tlie perfect wide receiver/defensive back. His quick first step allowed him plenty of room to make moves against his opponents, while his sure hands and eagle-eyes helped him pull down the ball without as much as a hitch. Wilh Plummer, an All-KVC selection, running routes, we were sure that putting him on our All- Area team would ensure one thing if wc were ever able to play a game against another squad - touchdowns. This guy can change the How of a game in a matter of steps. A tight spiral tow.u-ds him is pretty much a sure thing if you are looking for a reception. Not only are Pluninier's numbers nice, but he also helped pad lhe numbers of his quarterback as well. Sieve Schlllt Soutli l^yon The thing we like most about Schlitt is that if the ball even comes close to him he is going lo make lhe catch. This South Lyon senior showed that he was more than just dependable when it came to receptions this season as he pulled down pass after pass in a very wellplayed South Lyon season. Stepping up as a.senior was nol a problem for this All-Area selection, Schlitt was no surprise this year as he continued to play lo the top of his game and led his team in one heck of a season that found them making it into the playoffs, Schlitt was a no-brainer this season for the All-Area Dream Team as he made his presence fell each and every game. Bryan Dovichi WLC When junior quarterback Brandon Cassise had lo find a receiver down field that was capable of making a lough catch, he threw towards Bryan Dovichi. Dovichi earned the respect of many defenses as lhey learned to keep an extra defensive back cheating in his direction. He wasn't afraid lo venture to the middle of the field nor lo make a dancing calch along the sidelines this.season. Dovichi's ability and tough catches made him an All-WLAA.selection this season as well as one of the top receivers in our coverage area. We were more lhan happy lo find a place for him on lhe All-Area Dream Team. Center Chris Gonzalez... mxii,.,., " Tills"!' guy 'is exactly whal you ' want out of a center. SU'ong as an ox and twice as bull-headed, Gonzalez wouldn't let anyone even close to ihc quarterback as he ate up nose tackles like they were bread and butler. His ability io snap ihe ball under pressure both direct and shotgun helped solidify a Walled Lake Western front five that was in question early this season. Thanks lo Gonzalez, lhey' found a rock lo anchor themselves to and played serious, hard-nosed football. Interior Linemen Marc Mueller Northville An All-Division selection in the WLAA, Mueller was more suited for an All-Conference spot.

C o r n e l i u s, I l k o n a m e d t o A l l - A r e a By Saiti Eggleston and Steve Bell SPORTS WRITER Well, they suy that offense gels the glory but defense wins the game. We have no doubt ihut the saying is true, as the Wildcats have shown this season a tough defense is worth its weight in playoff wins. The All-Areo Dream Team defense is built on the idea that if your opponent can't score, then they can't win. We have full faith that the players we picked for our defensive corps arc capable of shutting out just about any squad in Michigan, and they would be more than happy to do so. Defense LInebaclcers ' Mike Crowe WLC Talk about a dangerous guy in the box. Crowe was they type of player that would read the run and crush the runner. His quick foot speed gave him and advantage over most linemen, as he easily maneuvered around them time and time again, Crowe was the kind of player that never hesitated to step up and meet a runner head on. His dedicanon to slopping the run was pretty much unparalleled in his league, and it was proven time and time again as he helped punch the defense's way ihrongh ihe offeiisive line and take down a runner in the backfield. Thanks to Crowe's leadership and determination, (he Vikings had a solid defense to lead them to the playoffs and almost upset Lake Orion. Jim Presley Milford Wham, bam, thank you ball carrier. Jim Presley is the kind of linebacker that, well, that everyone drools over The University of Michigan is just one of the places that were more than interested in this football prospect, and Milford was lucky enough to have him busting heads at middle linebacker this season. Quick for his size and slrong as a mule, Presley was Ihe kind of player that offensive lines targeted but were never able lo fully slop. He was all over the field this year, taking down runners outside of the box as well as in the backfield, More lhan once he was all over a quarterback trying to find time to throw. Thanks to Presley leading a tough Milford defense this year, they won the KVC title and made it to the playoffs. Malt Cornelius Northville This linebacker may not have been the biggest or the strongest in the Western Lakes this season, but he sure made a lot of noise. Coming into his senior season, Cornelius knew that he would have to be the best player he could be on the defensive side of the ball if he hoped to help his Mustangs to reach some of their goals. Well, though many of the goals may not have been reached, Cornelius was still the best he could be. The Mustangs found the Cornelius was a multi-use tool, able to contain lhe flats as well as blitz the middle to pressure a quarterback. More than once he met a runner at the line of.scrimmage and stopped them cold. Wilh a player like Cornelius in the box, we are certain that our All-Area Dream Team linebacker corps is as solid as any offered up across the stale. Josh Buck Junior This kid is pretty amazing. Watching Josh Buck smash his pads into a runningback or a quarterback and sometimes even a receiver is like watching Hardy Nickerson chew up a backfield runner and spit him oul. A solid base and built like an ox. Buck was and is going to continue to be one of the top linebackers in the Kensington Valley Conference. His leadership ability even as a junior helped solidify the Wildcat defense early in the season and though they suffered three a H H M H n n losses, lhey managed to S ' M o ' n Player or longer than t )B YSSF any of their KVC brothers. Buck is the kind of player that has the ability to charge the eicclricily in lhe air and lead his squad. Before the Lake Orion game, he was heard pumping his team up and they came out with the best defensive effort of their season. We expect ihat if given the chance. Buck would fire up our defense as well, leading them to victory. Offense gets the glory, but our defense wins the games, Eric Downing Lakeland Downing, a 5-foot-ll, 190 pound linebacker, helped the Lakeland Eagles redefine their football program as they started to build a foundation that will hopefully find them playoff bound come next season. This senior was one of the reasons the Eagles were able to turn things around under a new coaching staff and with a newfound energy head into their regular season play with an intensity that has not been seen al Lakeland High School for some lime. His actions spoke louder than words though, as Downing collected 78 tackles and two sacks this season as he blitzed of the end and up the middle, often finding himself face to face with the ball carrier. No flinching here though, unless it was the ball carrier. Downing came to be known as a linebacker that would tackle through a player, instead of just hitting and wrapping up. His speed ami his strength make him an enemy to any offensive lineman as he is often capable of coming so fast and so slrong thai he is around a blocker before lhey have a chance to adjust. A quick tight end to block Ray'.' No mutter, his powerful legs have been able lo push through many big blockers and still find him hunting for u tuckle in the backfield. Ray is11 mulii-purpo.se player, often seeing lime all ever the field. We chose him at defensive line because of his tenacious defense and his inability to learn the word quit. Bryan Phillips WLW This guy is more than capable of burning through a defensive line and eating up the run before it even starts. Though a very talented utility player, Phillips earned a nod on our defensive line because of his ability to pound his way through an offense and chew up the runners in the backfield. We expect thai if we were to play this All-Area Dream team in a sirnighl-out game, that Phillips would record more than just a couple of tackles. His determination and pure talent makes him an offensive tackles nightmare as he can push his way Ihrough you or simply just run around you. MatI Murray Line this guy up at the nose tackle position and let him go to work. Murray hiis been inslrumcntul in destroying running games from the beginning of the season through now. He is a strong lineman with the ability lo force his way through the offensive line wilh leverage and balance on his side. A student of the game, Murray quickly discovers the easiest way to heal an offensive lineman and uses il to his advantage as he tears through the line of scrimmage and stalks his prey in the backfield. Quarterback fear him, runningbacks wish to avoid him and linemen hate him. Murray is a defensive line coach's dream come true, and we are happy to have him al nose tackle for the 2002 All-Area Dream Team. Ken Taylor Lakeland For a defensive lackle, Taylor was incredibly iictive in his.senior season, A quick first-step bcnefiied this 6-foot-5, 235 pound defensive end us he blasted around the end and became a containment unit most backfields didn'i want to run towards, Even with the offensive coordinators often choosing to run away from his position, Taylor managed to collect 47 tackles this season as he plastered more than one runningback as they looked up field. Taylor's quickness and size helped shut down the passing game us well, as he took down two quarterbacks for sacks this yeai'. Jason Granroth Milford A big guy wilh lots of strength : and plenty of surprising speed, Granroth is the itjeal candidate for a defensive end. He is quite contlnued on 4 Linemen Doug Ray Coming off the end like a shot in the dark, Ray is often an unseen attacker on a passing quarterback. N o r t h V i U e g e t s A l l = A r e a D r e a m T e a m n o d s i n continued from 2 though he didn't have the supporting players to earn it. A tough tackle that wasn't afraid to knock heads with the defense, Mueller could be found all over the field, blocking for his trio of quarterbacks or pulling wide to blast a defender as a lead blocker. A solid player that looks more gentle than what he is on the football field, Mueller made his coaches proud as he became a lineman that they knew they could run behind, no matter who was across the line of scrimmage from him. Expect there to be a void on the line for the Mustangs come next season as tliey have a difficult time replacing a shining example of what linemen are supposed to be. Korey Padilla Milford When the Mavericks' coaching staff needed to get some yards on the ground, where did diey run? Right at Padilla's back, that's where. This staple of lhe offensive line helped the Mavericks cam a conference crown as he pushed and shoved his way to Ihe top of the KVC food chain. A lough lineman and a serious blocker, Padilla made It one hard job to get into the backfield. He never let down, even when his squad was ahead, which made him a sure pick to this year's All-Area Dream Team. George Boueri The Wildcats punched their way into the playoffs after losing a tough game to South Lyon to make it their third loss early in the season. After that, lhey knew they would have to turn their game around if they wanted to make it beyond die Northville game listed as the final regular season contest this year. The dream of the playoffs did indeed come true, and it did so on the shoulders of George Boueri. Boueri inay not be the biggest lineman on the All-Area Dream team this year, but he's more than capable of doing his job An alhlelic player, he is capable of being either a lead blocker on a pulling play or a straighl-up blocker that will put a defender on his heels in a matter of steps. Widi the 'Cats still marching in the post-season, expect them lo continue running the ball behind Boueri as they look for the endzone dirough Iheir mshing game. Out of all die players on the team this year, a solid lineman like Boueri may be Ihe toughest to replace come next. Nick Mainclla This guy just never gives up, and you know what? He's a student of the game as well. On more lhan one occasion, Mainella has sprinted to the sideline to tell head coach Tab Kellepourey what kintl of play the Wildcats should run because there is a weakness in the defense. What kind of lineman is that? A valuable one. The Wildcat front five is die type of line that just never gives up, and diey have an example like Mainella to follow if liiey ever come to doubt tliemselves. Mainclla is the kind of player that leaves it all out on the field. He never gives up and he never quits playing to his fullest potential that's why the offensive coaches love him, and die defenses fear him. Ken Taylor Lakeland This big player looks like the kind of lineman that may have trouble getting leverage on an opponent. Standing 6-foot-5 and weighing in at 235 pounds, Taylor has proven time and time again that isn't a problem for him. When the Eagles were building their team diis year, one solid force that stood oul was Taylor as he led die offensive line in one of die best.season's in recent history for the Eagles. It is thanks to Taylor that the Eagles will have a rock-solid example of whal their linemen should strive lo be in years to come. Thanks to his efforts and his dedication to the game, Taylor has earned a spot on this year's All- Area Dream Team. Photo by JOHN HEIDER Jim Presley gives his quarterback an illegal push in the back. Both Presley ancl his quarterback were named to All- Area squad. G l a r i f i c a H o n Bryan Phillips, wearing teammate James Steele's jersey, was making die tackle in the main photo of the Walled Lake Sports Section three weeks ago. Phillips, who was a key member ot the WLW football team this season, was named to the All-Area Dream Team as a deleiisive lineman for his stellar play as a defender this season.

Punter Kill llrown Northville Truth be lold. Hrown has plenty of opportunities this season to kick Ihe football in the punting situations. His leg was so powerful that his coverage unit often found themselves on dead sprints jusl lo keep up wiiii the ball. As Ihe season wore on for the Mustangs, Brown found himself being utilized more often lhal some may have expected, and his kicking game improved as he had the repetitions lo learn from. By the final game of the season against, Brown had his kicking game lo the point lhat he could pieiiy much put Ihe ball where he wanlcd to, which was a huge asset for the Mustangs and their special teams game.

Sublect to penalty Scott Long WLC A tremendous defender wilh the ability to knock a player's block off wilh a single hit. Long is one of a handful of players that have the talent to go both ways on our All-Area Dream Team. A senior with the ability to play some serious defense. Long not only can hit a runner or receiver wilh the force of a linebacker, he can cover the pass wilh the best of them. The key element to our All- Area Dream Team is the ability lo shut down opponents' offenses. Long is the kind of player that can read the play from his position in the secondary and call defensive shifts based on his views. We expecl that if given the chance to play Lake Orion again, Long would have a few things done differently. We also expect that if we could have him as a member of an actual Dream Team, Long would be the fiist to step up and lead our defense in the right direction, Gabe Ilko Northville Though a member of a Mustang squad that had a very lough season, Ilko stood out for us as well as the WLAA, His All-Division honors came from his abiliiy to shut down the top opponent receiver and lo knock down any pass that came his way. If the All-Area Dream Team ever chose to run out of the Nickel or Dime defensive packages, Ilko would be our first pick to step into ihc role as pass defender. His ability and his speed make him a sure bet to nol be beat deep and lo cover the pass as soon as il leaves the quarterback's hand.

It's funny and even romamie at limes, all while reminding each of us why wc celebrate this wonderful holiday in llie firsl place. Tim Allen reprises his role from the original movie as,scott Calvin, better known lo you and luc as Santa Claus. The twisi in this particular movie is lhal there is anolher clause lo bis comracl which is buried in Ihc line print cr, make that llie very fine print. The requirement is a simple one, he must get married before this Christmas begins. Well, Saiila knows that lie can'l leave Ihe North Pole at this lime of year with oul causing havok, so he turns to an elf named Curtis (Spencer Breslin). v<'ho cooks up a human-sized "Toy Santa" that looks somelhing like the real thing bul is made out of plasties. Allen hams il up in this movie in the Toy Santa role, especially when Toy Sanla discovers he has a dark side wilh the help of some toys oldicrs. One of Ihc scpiinl-causing details of this movie is the extrcineinly bright sel. Il uses a variety of candy-colored schemes that may remind a lol of viewers of a store window al the Twelve Oaks Mall righl around Christmas. And.some may raise ;ind eyebrow, but let me assure you that the humorously ridiculous and odd looking reindeer are purposely made 10 look thai way. Most of the movie takes place away from Ihe North Pole as Scott goes back home lo help out his son, Charlie Calvin (Eric Lloyd), You see, Charlie,js normally a good kid, but for some reason he's managed to nail himself on Santa's official "naughty lisl." While in town, Scott figures il shouldn't be too much trouble to find himself a wife. Out of all of ihe possible candidates, the least likely is Carol Newman (Elizabeth Mitchell), who is Charlie's very strict principal. The only problem lhal I really had with this movie was the release dale. November I seems F o o d F o r T h o u g h t 1 don't cook on Thanksgiving anymore. our kitchen is busy cooking ihe traditional fixings for ihose who have ordered the dinner "lo go." This usually means that my crew and I will make dinner for several hundred people. Wc siarlcd offering Ihis service eight or so years ago as an alternative to opening the restaurant on Thanksgiving. Tom and I wanted our staff lo he with Iheir families so this option works for us all. Thanksgiving dinner is a lough one Io pull off if done from scralch. Il entails preparing a slock for gravy, toasting croutons for the dressing, chopping vegetables, peeling and mashing potatoes, baking pies, roiisling the bird and making cranberry sauce, Nol lo mention a nice salad and appciizers. An entire day could be devoted lo the meal. For those who love to cook Ihis likens lo a slint in culinary heaven. For those who don'l, think about a family potluck and let the kids do the dishes! There are other ways to gel around this all-day cooking fesl. Preparing a majority of the meal ihe week before is one of the easiest. Begin on Sunday by making a poultry stock.

Things get a little wacky, but all in good fun in "The Santa Clause 2." like a litlic early for a Christmas movie, as I aiu usually still recovering from Ihe sugar-buzz induced by Halloween. Though a funny-hone tickling comedy, some may ponder if this movie COURTESY PHOTO The Santa Clause 2: The Misses Clause is quite funny and mingles well in both kiddie comedy and adult humor This is a move for the whole family. lurkey necks or chicken backs as the base. Freeze enough ibr Thursday's gravy and u.se the rest for a hearty soup. Scrub, peel (I leave skins on for Ihe nutrition and fiber ihey offer), and dice potatoes. Store in the refrigerator covered in water until ready to cook. A point lo reineniber when boiling potatoes, heavily salt the water and the tubers won't need a touch of additional seasoning after mashing. The salted walcr brings oul the potato flavor wonderfully. Fresh cranberry sauce is so easy and keeps well for a week. A great recipe is on the back of the cranberry b,ag. Since cranberries are abundant now throw a couple of piickagcs in Ihe freezer for use during the year A favorite in my household is a mash of roasted acorn squash, whole cranberries and a touch of maple syrup. For a spectacular stuffing toss day old white bread, crusts removed, cul into half-inch dice wilh melted butler, salt and pepper and a bit of dried thyme. Toast lo golden and store in an airtight container Wednesday night saute a good amount of celery and onions in lots of butter, toss with the croutes adding pinenuts and dried cranberries, moisten wilh a bil of the great Slock you made Sunday and allow lo sil overnight. Il is nol recommended lo stuff your lurkey, as the internal temperature will not be high enough to kill harmful bacteria. I know our Mom's always did it...that was then, food was safer Then there is Tom lurkey. At the bistro we love to rub.iny and all poultry or game birds wilh minced garlic and fresh herbs. Carefully loosen Ihe breast skin from the meat and pat on a mix of rosemary, kosher sail, freshly ground pepper, lemon zest and garlic, 11'the bird is large enough do the same lo the legs. Then place a iiiirpoix of Iwo peeled roughly chopped carrots, celery stalks and a large onion in Ihe cavity of Tommy boy. This too can be done the night before. To cook, preheat the oven to 325, place the bird in a shallow pan breast side up and cover wilh a loose lent of aluminum foil. After the first hour, baste with the pan drippings ahoul every 30 minules or so..allow minutes per pound for birds under 16 pounds'and for those over. Remove the foil the last minutes so the turkey roasts to a golden hrown. After removing from Ihc oven allow at least minules of "resting" lime. This allows the juices to be reabsorbed by the protein and nol lost with the firsl knife cul. Warm your sides, loss Ihc salad and get ready lo carve. Let's remember lhal Thank,sgiving is first and foremost an American holiday which centers around a family feast commemorating the firsl harvest of Ihe Plymouth Colony in The colony had been established Ihe year before and ils 50 members celebrated wilh Native Americans from the Wampanoag tribe which whom they had signed a treaty of peace.

One of Ihc nice things of the original movie was lhal it had a delightful lake on all things Christmas in this day and age, which ils divorced families and ils over worked dads. And, for once, we were able to watch a family film that didn't force the divorced parents lo reunite by the finale, Sanla Clause 2 conliues this, nnders,l3ndi,i)g.that i;a.ising, a kid..in. today's society is a lough job, and that spending mosl of your time al the North Pole wilh a bunch of elves instead of al home with your son isn't going to make things easier But don't gel me wrong. There is plenty of silliness lo make your belly shake like a bowl full of jelly. For instance, Ihere is an end-of-llie-year conference ibr all of the mythical characters. You gel lo see Kevin Pollack as Cupid, Peter Boyle as CRANBERRY SQUASH Father Time, Aisha Tyler as Mother Nature and Art LaFleur as the Tooth Fairy who would rather be called either "The Tooth Guy" or "Roy," Then, there's the Easter Bunny, He can relate lo Santa's troubles with his sone - afterall, he has 30,000 offspring, and they are "all in private school." Capturing some but not all of the first fim's yuletide magic, the belated sequel pitches itself nicely between kiddie comedy and adult humore. UHinialely, the Sanla Clause 2, is a movie that's interested in jingling more than just the loose change in your pocket. So, buy a ticket, grab some popcorn and catch this show.

16 6B NOVI NEWS-Thursday, November 14, 2002 Wildcat football inspiration always in sight on their sidehnes By Sam Eggleston SPORTS WRITER You would never know il by looking ai IBrent I'anialeo ;is lie walclies ihe game from llic sideline with his familiar winter hat pulled over his head but, he has cancer. You see Panialeo and he's pretty much all.smiles all the time as he makes his way along the sideline in the coaches' iio,\ and watches the game play out with keen, knowing eyes. He limps, and when you are around him that's the only indication of wiiy he isn't out on the field in I'ull pads, "I would have probably been watching the game from the sidelines even if 1 were in uniform," Pantaleo said with a slight laugh. "It's not much different than if I were playing right now." About a month and a half ago, Panialeo was what Coach Tab Kellepourey considered a typical junior football player. He had the tools to play the game, just needed the experience to become a starter. "He knows sports," Kellepourey said. "He knows all the college teams and even the pros. He watches them and he knows what they do on a week to week basis." Though Pantaleo isn't suiting up, he's still a huge part of this team. "Brent is an inspiration to all of us," junior Adam Brandau said, "We sec him oul there and it drives us to work that much harder." And every time they take to the Held, the Wildcats take a part of Pantaleo out there with them. Each helmet has a decal with the number two, representing the junior's number. "It makes mc feel good knowing that i help drive them," Pantaleo said. "It makes iiic think they arc out there playing for me. That Ihcy are out there winning because 1 inspire them to win." And they do. Pantaleo, who undergoes bone cancer treatment via chemotherapy at the Children's Hospital of Michigan, has been someone for the Wildcats to look to when they think their season is getting rough. "He helps you put things in perspective," Chase Chandler said before playing Lake Orion. "We know that he's a big part of this football team. We are happy to have him as a member of our team." Though he wasn't able to attend the Milford victory in the first round of the playoffs. Panialeo was a steady figure on the sidelines of the Lake Orion victory and is adamant about being present on ihc sidelines during the game against Catholic Central Saturday at 1 p.m. "I'm going to be there," he said. "1 know if we go out there and play them hard, our defense can wetir them down. We are playing good football right now, but we have to show up. It all matters on how we play, and we have to play our best right now." Pantaleo hasn't been in school for sometime, being homeschooled to keep up with his classmates, but that isn't stopping him from planning a comeback. "I'm hoping to be back in school next semester," he said. 'I'll still be a little behind, but I'll catch up." And when he isn't watching football or being schooled, Pantaleo finds time to pick up the paddle to his Playstation 2, Every now and then, he even gets the old games out of the closet, as during his interview he was playing "Mike Tyson's Punch Out" for the original Nintendo. "1 get sick of games though," he said. "There isn't much to do around here, so you get tired of them pretty fast." According io Pantaleo, the doctors at Children's Hospital have been very encouraging and seem confident in his current treatment - but he's not sure of his chances of returning to the football team as a player. "I don't know if I'll be back next season (to play)," he said. "Hopefully, I can find a way to help out the team next year." Kellepourey said that it wouldn't be a problem. "He's got a lot of things going on right now, but we know football means a lot lo him." he said. "There are other wiiys to get things done, and we'll find a way to get it done with him." And, per chance, playing isn't in his future, would Pantaleo consider taking over Kellepourey's headset? "1 don't know," he said. "That's a much harder job that what it looks. Now and then 1 might disagree with a play that coach calls, but he knows this game better than I do. It would be really cool to coach, but 1 need to learn more about il before I do," Kellepourey noted lhal Pantaleo is the kind of person thai football needs as a coach and a teacher. "He's the kind of guy lhal we need coming into Ihis game as an instructor some day," Kellepourey said. "He watches and studies football. He knows what it takes to win and he knows how to do it." No matter what the final score is against Catholic Cenlral, Pantaleo said that he's proud of his Wildcats. "They are a good team," he said. "They need to keep their heads up, no matter what the score ends up." But don't get him wrong, he knows is capable of victory. "1 think they can (win) if they want lo," he said. "If they wani it bad enough, they are good enough to do it. Catholic Central is good, but Ihcy aren'l perfect." And no matter what else has happened this football season, Pantaleo's been a part of a team that made it further than any other squad since 1988 and he has the District Championship medal to prove it. "He was the first one to get called up for the medal since he's number two," Kellepourey said. "That was really greal to see."

"She might have mild nausea, stomach trouble, a bit of an ulcer. "Occasionally, I'll see really sad situations where women have finally come b.ick when dieir child is in kindergarten and it turns oul Ihey have clinical anemia or low thyroid. Some simple medical intervention could have been done if only they'd shown up for care." Pollycove and her co-authors of Ihe book "Mother Nurture," (Penguin, $1.5) have named Ihis cluster of syniptoins and circumslaiices Depicted Mother Syndrome. It differs from the more weil-recognized postpartum depression in that it's the result of the demands of child-rearing rather dian simply the homional changes of pregnancy. In DMS, lack of sleep, nuhient loss from breast-feeding, poor eating habits and the stress of caring for toddlers combine lo make mothers more at risk for cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, diabetes and depression. "Motherhood itself is not a medical condition, hut the stress and depletion that occurs today can itself be ri.sk factors," for disease, said Rick Hanson, a psychologist and co-author of the book. Ultimately, Pollycove said, she'd like lo see Depleted Mother Syndrome, which sfi^ estimates hits about 10 percent of women widi small kids, treated like premenstmal syndrome and menopause, "Once doctors recognized these were real syndromes and gave women permission to voice dieir concerns and notice how diey were feeling, then we got busy and actually found interventions to help," she said. In the meantime, Ihe authors offer lots of lips and suggestions to help ward off Depleted Mother Syndrome, including making time to exercise, eat right and connect with their partners. Driven men poor husbands make Emotionally unavailable, harddriving men are likely lo have unhappy spouses. So says a sludy conducted at the University of Notre Dame, which found that trails often considered masculine made for marriages in which the wife was dissatislied or even depressed. According to lead author Matthew J. Brciding, men who are focused on financial prowess and competition rather than family, who feci uncomfortabic showing affection toward other men and who have a great difficulty expressing emotion are experiencing genderrole confusion. The greater this problem, the more unhappy the wife, Brciding said. Conversely men with low gendcr-role confusion reported having happier marriages. So did their wives. Sex assignment satisfaction Babies who have dieir gender assigned at birth because they have indeterminate sexual organs most often are satisfied with their sexuality as adult.s, says a study from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Researchers interviewed 39 adults who had been bom with a variety of genital ambiguities dial required parents and doctors to choose the sex in.which they would be raised. Surgery and hormone therapy were used to support the assignment. Of die males, 76 percent were "mainly satisfied" with dieir assignment and 24 percent were dissatisfied, including one who chose to become female. Of die females, 78 percent were mainly satisfied and 22 percent were dissatisfied, including one who was living as a male. - prrrsburgh post-gazette Photos by Dennis Schroeder/». - Marilyn Kunkel is Instructed about the procedure by CT tech Fran Lange at Colorado Heart and Body imaging as she prepares to undergo a heart lung scan.

Doctors debate the wisdom of liigh-tech snapshots By Debra Melani SCRIPPS HOWARD NEWS SERVICE eart disease has a grip on Roger Hcsselltine's family, having killed his' father at age 52 and direatening his brother's life just mondis ago. The nation's No. 1 killer has taken uncles and, indirecuy, his mother, who died on an operating table as doctors worked to unclog her arteries. Hcsseiltine wants to do everydiing he can to loosen die killer's grasp, and thanks to new technology, his options are growing. Hcsseiltine joined thousands of Coloradans who have headed to Colorado Heart and Body Imaging in Denver to have high-lech snapshots taken of their hearts. Many are prodded by fear. After former Colorado Rockies pitcher Darryl Kile died unexpectedly last June of a heart attack at age 33, "We... probably had a couple of hundred people aged 30 to 40 who have visited us...," said Dr. James Ehrlich, the center's medical direclor. Many of them were surprised lo leam lhat diey already had a serious buildup of plaque, or arteriosclerosis, which can lead to heart attacks, Ehriich said. Heart disease affects 7 million Americans and kills more than 500,000 a year, exceeding all cancer deaths combined. Aldiough heart scans are gaining acceptance and headlines tout blood tests diat might help doctors predict who carries potential time bombs in their chests, mosl people still hold dieir fate in dieir hands. "The biggest bang for your buck would be to quit smoking," said Dr Nelson Trujillo, a cardiologist widi Boulder (Colo.) Community Hospital. Smoking boosts the chance of a heart attack as much as fourfold, a risk dial drops to Ihal of a non-smoker's widiin a year of quilting. The next-biggest bang would be lo cut out fast food and pizza and to increase exercise, Trujillo said. If everyone listened to Trujillo, his business would plunge. Yet diere would still be people like Kile, Hessellline and Trajillo himself people widi sirong family histories of die disease. For them, probably about 20 percent of heart patients, the new technology can be mosl useful, many doctors agree. Hessellline, 60, doesn't smoke. He leads a relatively quiet life in Gypsum, Colo., and exercises at least ' five times a week. He patrolled ski slopes for 25 years and did triadilons well into his 50s. He mahied an avid cyclist,'who, because of his heart and her racing schedule, has always insisted on a balanced, low-fat diet. He monitored his cholesterol levels, and four years ago his doctor put him on dmgs to lower die dangerous blood fats.. Hesselltine was doing everything right, yet his heait scan suggested he was doing everything wrong. An average score for a man between 60 and 70 is about 100. Hesselltine's score wss more dian 1,000. "I'm not surprised, with all of my family history," Hesselltine said after learning die scan had indicated severe plaque buildup in his arteries. His older brodier, also a "healdi nut," had suffered a massive heart attack and underwent emergency bypass surgery just two weeks before Hesselltine's visit. "1 feel il's good to know where you're at," he said. Not everyone agrees. Some doctors argue diat the only tiling die test did for Hesselltine was to increase his anxiety not good for someone prone to heart attacks. "The patient should be hying to avoid a heart attack anyway," said Dr. Scott valent of Rocky Mountain Heart Associates, in Wheat Ridge, Colo, valent said a heart scan is largely a psychological test _ and an expensive one. Ehrlich urged Hesselltine not to worry. "We see scores like diese every day," he said. Now Hesselltine and his doctor can treat die disease more aggressive- A cross-section of Marilyn Kunkel's internal organs is shown on a screen as she undergoes a heart/lung scan at Colorado Heart and Body Imaging. Patients must lie still for the non-evasive procedure that only takes a few minutes. ly, Ehriich said. The test takes only minutes. Patients are hooked lo an elecu-ocardiogram (EKG) machine and asked lo hold dieir breadi for a few seconds while the scans are taken. It generally costs al least $400 and frequently is not covered by insurance, aldiough that's beginning to change. Many patients believe die test has saved their lives, because either they or dieir doctors were nol taking dieir risk seriously enough, Ehriich said. Hessellline said he has spent $400 on worse diings and would urge his doctor to follow Ehriich's advice and boost his cholesterol-lowering drug dosage. Doing so could further stabilize his plaque, making it less brittle and unlikely to break. Breakage might lead to a clot, which could block die artery and deprive the heart of oxygen. Recent research indicates diat heart attacks are more dependent on plaque's stabilization tiian on its amount. "You may be as likely lo have a heart attack if you have 90 percent blockage as you would with a 30 percent blockage of unstable plaque," valent said. The drugs dial lower cholesterol levels stabilize ihc fatty buildup. The heart scan, or elecu-on beam tomography measures calcium, a recognized marker of plaque. The American College of Cardiologists has not endorsed die scan, diough it is performed at such prestigious medical facilities as die Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins University, Some doctors afgue against die scan, saying diey can predict patients' risk of heart di.sease and ti-eal diem just as well wjdi standard tests. Critics also contend diat die new test is particulariy bad for diose with no apparent problems. Nevertheless, Ehrlich said of heart scans, "The trend is more and more toward acceptance. We feel die heart scan is die most valuable component," Simple tests provide can answers Many tests are used to predict heart-disease risk, including two relatively new blood tests measuring C- reactive protein, which at high levels indicates inflammation, and homocystine, an amino acid thought to double the risk of heart disease when elevated. C-REACTIVE PROTEIN Pro: Inflammation could be a chief cause of heart attacks, especially those that happen with no warning, studies suggest. Doctors measure levels of C-reactive protein in the blood to determine a patient's amount of inflammation. Many doctors believe it offers great promise in reducing heartdisease deaths with a simple. Inexpensive blood test. Aspirin and cholesterol-lowering drugs reduce inflammation. Con: Any infection, from a cold to a urinary-tract Infection, could boost C- reactive protein levels, causing undue worry. HOMOCYSTINE Pro: Studies continue to suggest a direct link between high homocystine levels, also detected wiih an inexpensive blood test, and heart disease. Levels can be lowered easily and inexpensively wiih folic acid and B-complex. Con: A negative test does not rule out heart disease, as homocystine level is only one factor. CHOLESTEROL Pro; Still considered reliable markers for heart disease, blood-fat levels can be monitored easily. For those at high risk, a more expensive but more specific test can be ordered. Acceptable LdL (bad fat) levels for people al high risk were lowered from 130 to 100. HDL (good lat) should be at least 40, and triglyceride levels should be below 150. Total cholesterol for the general population should be below 200. Con: The average total cholesterol level among emergency-room heartattack patients is 208, considered borderline. STRESS TESTS, EKQs, ANGIOGRAMS Pro; The older tests can help doctors decide who Is in immediate danger (EKG) or has serious artery blockages requiring aggressive treatment (stress test, angiogram). Con: These tests Identify only.those with progressed heart disease. Cosmetic procedures grow more popular with tiie 65 and over set By Steve Schinadeke SCRIPPS HOV/ARD NEWS SERVICE Over time, Mag Oadsby quiedy tucked away $20,000 so she and her husband would be buried respectiibly when diey died. But when her spouse left for a younger woman, Gadsby's reaction was swift and sure she took die funeral money and gol herself a facelift. "Oh my God!" says Gadsby, 67, of Naples, Fla., recalling die days before she had the cosmetic surgery. "My forehead came down at my chin and my turkey neck was in my gut." Al first Gadsby was stung by her husband's desertion. But then, "After 1 gol a hold of myself, 1 cashed diose babies in,".she said. "You know, when we (senior citizens) walk into a restaurant, we want people lo notice us, loo, not jusl the hotties." As the popularity of cosmetic surgery continues to grow, die Social Security crowd is participating in record numbens. Tlie number of people older dian 65 who have cosmetic procedures has more dian tripled over die last five years, from around 120,000 to more dian 425,000 la.st year, according to figures compiled by die American Society for Aesdietic Plastic Surgery. FacelifLs, Botox injections, chemical peels and laser wrinkle removal are among die mosl popular pnx'edures. "People don't view 70 anymore as having to sit in a recliner chair all day.hanqin^ out." -Dr. Mark Prysi Plastic surgeon 'This is a youdi-oricnlcd culture," said James Moiiinier, direclor of Uic Institute on Aging at die University of Souih Florida. "People are more interested in looking young. More Americans dian ever before are living longer, healtiiier lives, continuing to dale and engage in sexual activity for decades after diey retire. And many seniors opt to stay in Ihe work force well into dieir 70s, widi some turning to cosmetic work as a way lo compete widi younger workers. Advances in surgical techniques and in.meslhesia have made procedures like facelifts less intrusive and open lo more [xople. "In die last four or five years, you've really seen die changing age (in clients)," said Dr. Mark Prysi, a Naples plastic surgeon. "People don't view 70 anymore as having lo sit in a recliner chair all day hanging oul." Prysi said he's had five patients older dian 80.so far this year and recently did a breast augmentation surgery for a 70-year-old woman. Among seniors, especially in places like planned communities, die social barriers to cosmetic surgery seems lo be falling, patients and physicians say. Bul that's not Ihe case everywhere. Virginia Moore, 81, had a facelift from Prysi last year. While in Florida, where she spends half die year, il didn't get a lol of attention. Bul il created a minor stir in die small town of Simcoe, Ontario, where she resides Ihe rest of die time. "All my friends are still talking about it," said Moore, a former professional ice skater who sdll plays doubles tennis twice a week. "It's not a common tiling here. I know of one other person who had a facelift and she certainly never spoke of it." While everyone older than 45 gets a complete physical check-up before die surgeon operates, there's slill die possibility of an undetected medical condition causing problems. Some experts also wonder whedier seniors widi at least a low level of depression inight tum loo rcidily to surgery. But in at least a few cases, cosmetic surgery can be a confidencebuilder. It certainly was for Moore, who recendy broke up widi her Porsche-driving boyfriend. "I'll tell you," she says, "it wasn't because of my looks." 1

Marijo had motor oil running through her veins al an early age and seemed dcslincd to one day lake over a business traditionally associated with men. She remembered riding her llrst Harley when she was aboul 10 years old. "Dad said, 'if you can start it, you can ride il,"" she said. She took him up on ihe offer.. Over the years, the Walkers have ridden across much of Ihe country on their beloved llarleys in addition lo minding the store. They understand wliy someone would see the billboard on Iniersuue 20 and pull in, if only to buy a T-shirl with the "oldest dealership in Texas" slogan on it. Walker estimated he sells aboul S500 in shirts every day. He also never fails to sell the eight lo 10 Hurleys the company allots him each month. He is certain he could sell more if not for the Harley-Davidson allotnieni policy that keeps Ihe market from being llootlcd. "They waiil to keep the customers hungry," Walker said. i^or those nol in the market for a new Harley, with a price tag from $5,500 up lo $28,000 for the new gold-tinted Screamin' Eagle Road King, plenty of other merchandise is available.

No one was left at the bankrupt carrier lo make sure die more than 525 IML employees entitled to pension benefits would gel their monthly relirenieni checks. Enter Ihe Pension Benefit Guaranty Coip. (PBGC). The little-known federal agency look over the plan's assets 'and started mailing oul monthly retirement checks. It remains in control. Workers who are counting on traditional companysponsored retirement plans instead of 401 (k) accounts to fund their retirement years may be hearing a lol more aboul the PBGC iri the future because of ils role as Ihe nation's pension'plan safely net. Recent declines in the stock market did more dian just hammer the value of individual 401(k) accounts. They also wreaked havoc on the investment portfolios of corporate pension plans across the counlry. A large number of traditional pension plans also known as defined-benefit plans because they promise retired workers a fixed amouni every mondi are expected lo report they are underi"unded. When a pension plan is underfunded, it means ils assets are insufficient lo meet long term Ihe projected payments promised lo retirees. "It is becoming a huge problem," said Adrian Redlich, an analyst with Merrill Lynch who recently completed a sludy of 346 companies in the Standard & Poors 500 that offer their workers traditional defined-benefit plans. Redlich and co-researcher Rebecca Skilbcck found that of those 346 plans, 82 percent were underfunded at the end of last year While overall the 346 plans were overfunded by $ 1.1 billion, Redlich and Skilbcck nevertheless noted Ihal figure represents a decline of more than $200 billion from the previous year. And they project once corporations start reporting the status of their plans this year, diere will be another "massive swing" to the red as much as $200 billion. As the insurer of die nation's pension plans, the PBGC often steps in when a plan reaches the point where it is,.serip.usly undgrfijnsjed to makg sdrs.dle ""retirees recfeive the bulk of tfieir promised benefits. Most underfunded plans, however, never reach the point where the PBGC needs lo step in. It's not unusual for plans to fluctuate between being under and overfunded, said Jim Jaffee, spokesman for die Employee Benefit Research Institute, a non-profit Washington-based organization that studies pensions and other corporate benefits. "In a lot of cases, underfunded plans don'l have io go to the intensive-care unit. They jusl have to hike some a,spirin," Jaffee said. "What matters is die longterm viability of the fund." Federal law regulates the minimum amount companies must conlribule to their pension plans to keep them healthy. And lhat often can place a burden on corporations dial must divert profits inlo pension plans instead of using that money to fund growth. There's no hard-and-fast rule dictating when the PBGC must step in and lake over a struggling plan, PBGC spokesman Jeffrey Speicher said. "Usually, we'll consider stepping in when it looks like a company's future is in doubt and ils plan doesn't have enough assets to meet ils obligations." The PBGC administers aboul 3,000 pension plans. The PBGC operates much like an insurance company. It collects regular premiums from die sponsors of the nation's pension plans. And like an insurance company, the PBGC anticipates those premiums and the assets dial it takes over when a plan fails will be enough lo take care of Ihe workers in die pension programs it administers. Although a significant portion of the country's workers are still covered by defined-benefit plans, die number of plans insured by the PBGC is shrinking. "Almost no one is starting up defined-benefit plans from scratch," said James Delaplanc, a vice president at die American Benefits Council. "They are highly regulated and die fund rules are extremely restrictive." Such plans may no longer be suitable for die modem, highly mobile work force, Delaplane said. Traditional pension plans reward employees who stay widi one company for a long time, he said. And the benefits are backloaded. Last year, die PBGC insured about 33,500 plans, down from an all-time high of 112,000 plans in In contrast, diere are now more than 325,000 definedcontiibution plans, such as 40I(k)s.

Thieves have been stealing identities, credit card numbers, products and services for just about as long as iho.sc Ihings have existed. The difference now is dial technology is drastically upping the stakes. Hackers who infilutile company systems can steal tens of diou.sands of credit card numbers at a clip and.sell Ihem just as quickly. 1.0SSCS from online fraud arc 83 limes larger than from traditional fraud,.said Tom Kcllemian. a data risk management specialist with the Worid Bank. Between 1989 and die present, identity theft has resulted in losses of S12 billion, and that's only theft that's been uncovered and reported, said Kcllenman, who spoke at a Riskology-spon.sorcd seminar in Denver this fall. Of the 143,505 security breaches reported from 1988 through die second quarter of 2002, 67 percent occuned between January 2001 and June 2002, according to the CERT coordination center at Carnegie Mellon University. CERT, fomierly die Computer Emergency Response Team, worits io educate users on securiij' issues, li also compiles statistics about reported breaches and new security dangers. It's still tough to gel complete statistics on just how mail)' incidents occur and to tally the true cost, experts say. That's because companies, worried aboul harming their reputations, arc oheii afraid to publicly sav they've been hacked. If companies don't pul more of an emphasis on cyber security soon, though, increased insurance rates and liability lawsuits could force Ihem lo. Or force them oul, said panelists at Riskology's seminar At work, management needs lo stress that security is everyone's job it's a business issue, not jusl an IT issue, said Riskology President Demcirios Lazarikos. Riskology offers security audits and helps get companies' systems lo die point where insurance companies will.sell them cyber liability policies. Such policies are still quite expensive and limited in Iheir coverage, and likely lo remain so until companies feci more comfortable reporting breaches. Until insurance underwriters can gel a clearer picture of their potential losses and develop actuarial tables from die experiences of others, it's likely die policies won't gel more aflbrdablc.

In addition, companies dial outsource any of all of dicir network operations to data centers or co-location facilities should make sure lhat service level agieemenui cover the question of who is liable in the event of a breach, Lazarikos said. Widi the advent of wireless data connections and the ability of employees to log on lo die company network remotely from dieir laptops, security becomes even more of a priority. Woricefs who access die company's network using dieir laptop and a wireless card inadvertently give hackers a way around die company firewall. Encryption programs are designed to fight dial but usually don't, said Bob GIay, founder of Boulder Labs Inc. "The majority have no protection," he said. "The ones dial do have encryption turned on, it's so flawed that, in a lot of cases, you can crack it in about 30 seconds." Boulder Labs sells solutions, typically to smaller companies, which are designed to make wireless networks as secure as possible. But some companies and government agencies; have decided to prohibit die use of outside networks until better security measures are devised.

More traditional companies in traditional fields are accepting and requiring prospective employees to send r^sumis via or apply online through company Web sites. Many companies are finding il easier to receive and process job application materials online as well as screen potential employees. Al Covenant Health, owner of several Knoxville, Tenn.-area hospitals and other medical-services businesses, an online application system has been in place for two years. From janitors lo company executives, every applicant files an online application, and even traditional applicalions are scanned into the computer, said Kay Wright, director of employment services for Covenant. "We did il simply for efficiency, just lo be able to handle the volume that we get," Wright said. With recent downsizing of local manufacturing plants, Wright said the number of applicants has increased. This July, her office processed more than 1,600 applicalions, compared with aboul 1,200 in July Wright's office gets each application, does a cursory review to make sure the person's qualifications match the job's basic requirements and forwards the application to the appropriate hiring'maiiagiir. ' Krista Jones, direct-hire search consultant for Staffing Solutions in Knoxville, said applicants who file dieir risumds online lend to get a quicker response. "virtually everything I do is online," she said. "When il (an online r&um^) comes in... I can go back and respond immediately." Jones said applications are easier for her to sort and track dian paper ones. They're also easier to pass on to her clients for review, she said, because busy executives will often pause to read s on die weekend or after business hours, and tiiey can receive them wherever diey are. While Jones mainly deals with management-level hires and filling clerical positions, she said Staffing Solutions has also implemented an online questionnaire for all potential employees. While not an official application, "it helps us know the candidates better," she said. "Then we can look at diem and qualify diem." Given die increased acceptance of electronic job applications, local rfisumfi services are offering new products that focus on new means of digital communication. Most companies will prepare bodi paper and electronic risumiss, formatting traditional hard-copy versions to read easily online. In addition, job seekers can have CD-ROM business cards made, an electi-onic version of die real thing, and one local company offers a digital video introduction lo he ed or sent with a ti-aditional rfisumfi lo potential employers. Robin Stooksbury, who recently launched her risunid development business. Impress Business Solutions in Knoxville, offers die video service. "I think il takes somediing dial can kind of be cold and harsh and puts a litile personality widi it." she said. The video greeting serves as an introduction, she said, and is only a few seconds long. Stooksbury said die service has been attractive for people seeking sales jobs and other employment dial highly depends on personal presentation. While the video shouldn't replace die u-aditional rfisum6, cover letter and thank-you note, it gives jobhunters an extra advantage in an increasingly competitive market, she said. But Michael Cuny, who nms The Career Coach Online in Knoxville, said people need to be careful how diey use r^sumds, CD-ROMs and odier digital methods to apply for jobs. "very few people would use them conectly," he said. "What you really need to do is have a really buttonedup r&umfi, technical skills and people skills.''

"People play (fantasy games) very intensely, like il's their life," said Stewart, a 32-year-old sales manager for Pepsi Bottling Group, and manager of six fantasy football teams. "It's a lot of fun." And easy. Users can manage their teams online al all hours of the day, instantly dropping players who are injured or performing poorly, and compete widi people on the other side of the globe. "The Internet has probably grown the industry 500 percent," said James Mesick, commissioner for the National Fantasy Football 'Center in Sacramento, Calif, formed in 1979 to help manage groups who play. The business of fantasy sports, including football, basketball, baseball and hockey, has matured enough lo warrant its own trade group. The Fantasy Sports Trade Association was, formed in 1999 to help promote die sports while also blunting the negative. "We tiy to keep an eye on all the games that are out there," said Charlie Wiegert, vice president of marketing at CDM Fantasy Sports in St. Louis, which specializes in fantasy games. "It's almost, kind of, police our own industry so nobody does it for us." The sport can be played by groups or individuals who meet in person or online. Groups form leagues, and each person drafts a fantasy team of select players. Early fantasy games were unwieldy because players had lo manually calculate scores using statistics from newspapers. Il would lake hours, even days. The Internet has changed all that, letting players develop more complicated scoring systems, easily handle the draft process and ti-ack their teams' performance minute by minute. "The Internet just has a wealth of information, and fantasy sports is one of those things where die more information you have, the more advantage you have," said Ashley Swadel, a spokeswoman for ESPN.com. ESPN.com, Yahoo! and CBS' Sportsline, which all offer fantasy football leagues and services, are noticing. From 2000 lo 2001, Sportsline alone saw the number of people using its fantasy football features increase to 2 million from 1.3 million. Yahoo and ESPN.com don't disclose their number of users but say diey have seen significant growdi. Sportsline, which runs services for CBS and odier companies, has for the past two years offered features for free. Now it charges $29.95 to $249.95, depending on the service. ESPN's fees start at $29,95 per team and Yahoo!, which slill offers many free leagues, charges for some features and packages. "One interesting thing about the pay sites, people j lake il more seriously," : Stewart said. \ Another attraction of the ; pay sites are the prizes. \ ESP.N.com, for example, ; offers flat-screen TVs and i digital cameras to lop per- ; formers. Sportsline awards cash prizes ranging from $150 to $1,600. : Bul sometimes there are ; Inore compelling reasons lo. take part in fantasy games, ; said Kevin Clark, who lives in Holly Springs, N.C, and works as a Web producer for. the Carolina Hurricanes. "Really, the only reason I to play is to beal your friends," he said. "It's more exciting to play jusl for the right to laugh at somebody." I F A N T A S Y F O O T B A L L 101 i STARTING UP : Once the league Is formed, a I draft is held. The goal Is to get : the best 10 to 20 players pos- I sible. \ WEEKLY LINEUPS I After creating the best starting ; leam, two teams compete In a head-to-head matchup.

W A M E l;l F V I b w s Freekstyle Genre: Extreme Sports Platform! Gamecube Publisher: EA Sports ESRB Rating: Everyone Freekstyle may have a catchy sounding name, but outside the look and feel of Ihe game, not much is to be desired from this title. A personality problem seems to exist here, as this game wants to draw In Ihe fans of extreme sports games, but does not want to stick to what makes those games successful. Instead, Freekstyle takes molocross racing Into the fantasy wodd, and falls short. The setup Is basic: You are a fast rider and you have to race others on different tracks. Fair enough. But there are too many problems with this game to overlook. To start, there are only six tracks. While you can unlock others, It takes an astounding amount of points to do so, and the wait is not worth it. And once you fide the tracks a couple of times, you can win almost every time. Then there is the speed factor. You can really tear it up on the course, so fast that you are literally leaving flames in your wake. While that's good and all, il almost gets to be too much, as you find yourself losing control and running into invisible barriers. Lastly is the A.I, of the game, which could be the most disappointing. No matter how fast you go, your wins or losses will always be close, which is sad. To burn that much trail and still have to fight It out for a chance victory is silly. Extreme G-3 is a better buy and more of what Freekstyle should have avoided trying to imitate. Super Mario Synshine Platform: Gamecube Publisher: Nintendo Genre: Family ESRB Rating: Everyone More than anything, Nintendo puts its efforts Into a Mario-based game. Let's face it, he is the face of Nintendo and If they screwed up his game, ycu would have to harbor doubts about Gamecube's future. But alas, for us Nintendo fans out there. Super Mario Sunshine does not only impress, it gives hope for the other upcoming franchise names like Zelda and Metroid. Sunshine takes place not amongst the palace kingdom like previous games, but on Isle Dellino, a vacation resort that has been littered with graffiti and pollution. An evil Mario-looking menace puts the blame on Mario himself, and hence the game's mission: Clear Mario of this blame. Helping to achieve this is FLUDD, a robotic water cannon lhat allows you to clean surfaces or fly over them, depending on how you use it. The boards are crisp and colorful, keeping with the franchise's basic themes. There are seven levels to Sunshine. The only drawback to the game is that you must constantly enter and re-enter them to achieve certain tasks and challenges to complete the level. The controls are as common as any other Mario game, so the learning curve is pretty short. Many familiar faces are left off this title, though Yoshi does come to your aid later In Ihe game. All-in-all, Sunshine is just another step forward for Nintendo, and shows a sense of promise for other franchise titles to come. - By Chris Campbell S t a r t - u p l a u n c h e s s e r v i c e t h a t l e t s s t u d e n t s s t o r e w o r k O n l i n e By Joyce Gannon PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE Imagine no longer having to root through boxes in die attic or basement for old tenn papers, class projects or examples of die work you've done. Thai's die idea behind iwebfolio, an online service created by Hampton, Pa., start-up Nuventive. The service allows students as well as academic administrators arid faculty to save, chronicle and monitor course work on the Web - a sort of digital portfolio diat uses die Internet to store stuff once squirreled away in forgotten or easylo-misplace folders. Users purchase personal accounts on die system - die fee for individuals is $40 a year - and can fill it with samples dial can range from traditional print documents to audio and visual presentations. The system has a security feature diat makes it accessible on die Internet, but only to odier people the account holder designates, such as teachers, parents or classmates. "People are drowning in data and need a good way to manage il," said David Raney, Nuventive's chief executive officer. "We see it as a lifelong tool for people to collect work samples and control access and dissemination of dio.se diings." Nuventive also is targeting adminisu'alors and faculty who could use iwebfolio lo assign and track class work, monitor students' progress and even assemble data to meet accreditation requirements. TWo colleges - Ihe State University of New York at Oswego and Denison University in Granville, Ohio - have purchased die product so far. Beyond die higher education market, Nuventive believes diere may be interest from K-I2 school systems, where some education experts believe such portfolios could someday replace standard report caixls. Odier potential customers include professionals and job seekers who could use iwebfolio to create multimedia resumes, organize and hack work accomplishments, and human relations departments diat could use it to archive information on employees and job seekers. Raney, 48, a child psychiatrist and former University of Pittsburgh Medical Center faculty member, expects die electronic portfolio to have more moneymaking potential dian die companies' odier products. "It meets many different needs and Uiat's what's fun about ic he said. "It lets students collect work samples for their major, dieir adviser, dieir parents, a particular class or to apply for a job." And because iwebfolio includes features for multimedia samples and attachments, "it's much deeper dian a resume. It gives students documentation beyond dieir grades to present diemselves upon graduation." Though it isn't die first elec- O:onic portfolio to reach die market, Gary Choban, chief technology officer and one of Innervaie's founders, believes iwebfolio's security-access feature gives it an edge. And its design makes It suitable for more dian just siut dents and academics - professionals, executives and administibiors also may find it useful, he said.

Garcia recommends trellis gardening, using twine lo fashion llie trellis, to grow plants vertically so they arc easier lo reach and maintain. "When Ihe season is over and the plants die, jusl snip the siring and everything comes down readily," she says. Raised beds arc good for those who use wheelchairs and others who cannot bend over. The beds can be built waist-high and just wide enough lo accommodate one's reach. Planting also can be done in tall pols or pots placed on lop of crates, bricks or other pots. If you don't need raised planting areas but you have some trouble getting up and down, she advises attaching a grab b.ar or safety bar on the side of the house or on a fence near where you kneel.

Mission-style, buff stucco and red tile building adorned with custom wrought iron work. To the passerby, it appears to be another condominium project or extended- stay hotel, but it's neither. It's an assisted living center. Tucked away on a tree-lined street in Oakland, Calif, is another new building. This one has architectural details in the Craftsman style. Its light green and cream coloring resembles an urban townhouse development. Wrong again. It's a care center for people suffering dementia. These two projects are representative of the new styles, shapes and colors of assisted living. Nursing homes are still around, bul with a growing number of aging people unable to live on their own - because of physical limitations or impaired mental abilities there's a growing demand for something new and different. As with many Ihings new and health care related, these new centers are more expensive for developers to build and more costly (or residenis to rent. Assisted living has become a catch phra.sc for combining hou.sing with personal and health care services. Services vary widely from center to cenier bul almost always include meals, housekeeping, transportation and even help doing the laundry, grooming and managing medications. The low-end monihly cost for assisted living is jusl below $2,000 a inoiilh for a studio-size apartmeni and private bath, according to figures compiled by government and health care experts. When additional.services are factored in, the mondily rale can easily double. While the decision lo move lo an assisted living cenier can be a hard one even tougher when it involves placing a reluctant older family member in such a center there are a number of questions that.should be asked before making a choice. Questions to ask Here are some questions and lips from Ihe California Registry, a stale licensed rcfertal agency for seniors and their families, for.selecting an assisted living center: Make an appointment for your first visit. If you think you might choose that facility, plan lo drop in unannounced at least twice thereafier. The best times are around mealtimes so lhat you can see how meal service is provided. a Speak with some of the residents without staff present. Ask Ihem how they like being there. Try lo gel a feeling for whether your relative would fit in and be comfortable with the type of residents living there. Are they experiencing similar problems and care needs? Observe how residents and staff inleracf. To a large extent, the way staff members treat the residenis will determine the residents' quality of life. B Read the rental contract or patient agreement carefully. Take il home with you if necessary. Whal extra charges are there? Whal items are not covered? If these are not listed, ask the facility to list whal is not covered and what those extra services will cost. B Observe and sample meals. Food is ofien one of the few pleasures thai elderly people can enjoy on a daily basis. Ask if you may eat a meal with the residents. Observe how the meals are ser\'ed.

From chestnut to combread stuffing, we've got recipes to please and lots of advice to ensure that your stuffing is as tasty as it is sale, To lighten up stuffing, u.se egg whites plus a few tablespoons of stock instead of whole eggs. You also can lighten your mixture by moistening with stock of giblet gravy instead of butter As witli all poultry, be safe and saiiitary. First, stuff your turkey just before putting it in the oven. To be fully cooked, ihe stuffing must reach 180 degrees. This will eliminate any harmful bacteria from the bird's juices. If the turkey is done but the stuffing has not reached 180 degrees, remove the turkey, transfer the stuffing to a casserole dish and return the stulfing to the oven io finish cooking. For complete safety, do not stuff your bird at all. Instead, make a traditional dressing which is just like.stuffing, but cooked on the side. Almost anything can go into stuffing. Be creative. Fora New England feel, try including chestnuts, green apple slices and cranberries. Combread and pecans, with a spriiikling of Cajun seasoning or a splash of bourbon, will spice up a Southern-style turkey. Add elegance.with wild rice, mushrooms, dried pears and.orange zest.

PAUL STAR TRIBUNE Call Brussels sprouts what you wish baby cabbages, a nutritious burst of flavor but please, don't call thetn disgusting. Brussels sprouts, along with zucchini, rutabagas and the like, are the Rodney Dangerfield of vegeiables: They get no respect. But if you can look past the days of soggy, overdone sprouts swimming in a bath of buttel you'll see a healthful, versatile vegetable that can find a home in anything from mealballs to stir-fry. On the stem, Brussels sprouts look mighty impressive, but it takes patience to grow them. They have a long growing season more than 90 days but these late bloomers are cold-tolerant, and those widi sprout smarts say they taste even better after a frost or two. Bmssels sprouts do look like little cabbages they are part of the same family but grow differently. Brussels sprouts cling to a large stalk topped wiih a crown of foliage. When selecting sprouts, look for ones that are tightly formed and avoid those that have unfurling leaves or leaves that have started to yellow. Don't pick them too large; ideally, Brussels sprouts should be between 1 and 1-1/2 inches in diameiel You'll also want gjrti io give ihem a sniff lo make sure ihey don't have an "off-putting" odol And no, Brussels sprouts don't always have an offputting odor. If you're growing Brussels sprouts, they are best kept on the stalk until you're ready to cook Ihem they are tolerant enough to stay in the garden through early wintel When you do pick (or buy) them, store them in the refrigerator in a perforated plastic bag and use them within a week. When serving sprouts as a side dish, figure a pound for four to six servings (a pound is about 3-1/2 cups of whole sprouts, 4 cups if quartered or halved). To prepare sprouts for cooking, trim lhe outer le.wes until there's a tight, firm head. It also helps to cut an "x" on the stem, which brings the heat to the center of the sprout more quickly. But here's lhe most important thing: Do not overcook! Brussels sprouts are best when cooked until tender-crisp definitely not to the mushy stage. They should have a little crunch to lheni and be a bright, vibrant green. If you're steaming or blanching the sprouts, 5 minutes should do it. If you saute or slir-fry, 3 to 6 minutes is all you need. Some cooks prefer to slice or quarter Brussels sprouts for quickel more even cooking. At the very least, large sprouts should be cut in half Some people, believe it or not, even separate the leaves before cooking, a tedious task, but a delicious result. A little butter goes a long way when preparing fresh, crisp sprouts, but proper seasoning adds a whole new dimension. When sauteing Brussels sprouts, spice ' things up by adding dill, caraway, cumin, ' basil, poppy seeds or sage leaves. Or add mustard, prepared horseradish, a citrus juice, soy sauce, onions or grated cheese. Feeling saucy? For a finishing touch, add a cream sauce, Hollandaise sauce, cheese sauce or tomato sauce, and you can add cooked sprouts to soups, casseroles, stir-fries and salads. Serving raw vegetables? Don't forget Brussels sprouts. (A tip: Wilt ihe sprouts by pouring boiling water over them. It'll bring out their flavor and colol) Want io add more vitamin C io your diet? Look beyond citrus and head straight to the sprout. A 1/2-cup serving of Brussels.sprouts (about 4 sprouts) has 120 percent of the daily recommendation of vitamin C. And the nutritional benefits don't stop there. Sprouts are a good source of vitamin A, fiber and folate, and they've been shown to have preventive effects against certain types of cancer A study by John Hopkins University found that a diet rich in cmcifcrous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and the like can lower the risk of bowel, stomach and breast cancer The vegetables contain sulforaphane, which helps the body expel cancer-causing toxins. Like many vegetables, sprouts also are low in fat (less than a gram), sodium, carbohydrates and cholesterol. What's not to like? Convinced yet? {

23 P r o p e r m a n n e r s : D o n ' t e v e r C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s, l e a v e h o m e w i t h o u t t h e m By Candy Parent HOMETOWN NEWSPAPERS If manners arc said to make the man, tlien disregarding them would ccitainiy not earn many brownie poinls this holiday season. Since holidays usuaiiy involve festive meals with neighbors, clients and people who may be related by blood but arc basically strangers, nol knowing the proper mealtime procedures could lead to frustration, enibarrassment and uiiiiecessary stress. But it doesn't have io be that way. By following these simple tips, diners can enjoy the conversation_and the food and not stress over the etiquette. Of course, the first rule is to follow the instructions included with the invitation, states Michele Maussion Wilson, an international, etiquette instructor with more than 30 years experience. "Your invitation is for 7 p.m. Do nol arrive early as the host or hostess may not always be ready in advance. If they said 7 p.m. it is lor a reason. Be on time or, at most, a few minutes late. Remember, if you are more than 20 minutes late, you lake the chance of finding everyone seated at the table and eating when you arrive. If you see that you will be late you should call the host or hostess," she said. She also stresses lo only bring along the people addressed on the invitation and not to bring along food. You can bring a bottle of wine or chocolates or send flowers as a thank you. Experts ai Western SilveL a company that offels etiquette inforniation as a service to its silver lliitwarc euslomcrs, agrees that gifts should always be taken when accepting an invitation lo another person's home for a meal. "It can be as simple as a jar of lionieiiiade jam or as elaborate as a fine bottle of wine," states their Web site at "The host/liostess will be grateful that you care about them." Olher tips offered by Western Silver that could save some eiribaitassmcnt include placing the napkin on the lap when sitting down as a protection against spills and waiting for ihe hosi to begin eating before digging in. Western Silver also reminds diners to relax, keep elbows close to the body, and not to rock in the chair. Beepers and cell phones should be turned off. Don't slurp soup or blow on the food. Never talk with food in the mouth and, of course, leave the table before any nose blowing. FINGERS OR FORKS? Use flatware when eating these foods at a formal dinner: asparagus, bananas, strawberries (without the leaves), chicken, clams and oysters, corn on the cob, French fries, melon, watermelon, pastries, shrimp cocktail. H It is OK to use fingers when eating these foods: apples (after cutting with a knife), artichokes, crispy bacon, bread, candy, cherry tomatoes, grapes, nectarines, olives, pizzg, sushi, tacos. wvirw.westemsilvercomyellqubtle.html Both Western Silver and Michele Maussion Wilson shess the importance of sending a thank you note, possibly with a bouquet of flowers or at least a phone call the following day io thank the hostess for ihe meal. c o n t e s t w i n n e r s You only need ihree things for a successful holiday gathering friends, family and food. Although we al HomeTown Newspapers are not able to provide you with family or friends, wc are happy to present you with our first-ever recipe book filled with tasty delicacies submitted by our readers.

To thank each of our readers who took the time io submit an original recipe, we decided to offer three S.'iO gift certificates to the restimranl of the winner's choice; because even award-winning chefs need a day off Since the test kitchen here at HomeTown Neiyspupers consists'of only a refrigenitol microwave and coffee niakel we figured it would be better to simply choose the winners through random drawings, rather than trying to create them ourselves. Each submission was entered in the drawing chefs submitting multiple recipes were entered for each recipe. And the winners are Clara Murphy of Brighton, who submitted Grandma Belle's Raspberry Tart, will enjoy dinner at J.B.'s Brighton House in Brighton; Dolores Tomlin of Fowlerville, who submitted a recipe for Cabbage Slaw, will enjoy dinner at Stillwater Grill in Brighton; and Cindy Politowicz of Northville, who submitted recipes for Chocolate Rum Cake and Rice Balls, will enjoy dinner on us at Red Lobster in.

Since wine is made to eompliiiient specific lypes of food,.serving Ihe wrong variety could leave taste buds longing for.something different. "Ceriain ty(k-s of wine go widi ceriain lypes of food," said Morcy Gergis <if The Vintage Wine Shoppe in i. As a general rule, Gergis said red wines compliment red meal and while wines go belter wiih white meat and fish. "Il all goes back to taste," 'saidgergis. "It's whal kind of taste you have." Gergis recommends beginning wine connoisseurs start with a light, fruity wine. 'As they get tired of that, Ihey Stan exploring" die drier, heavier, red wines, said Gergis, Beginners who start with the heavier wines usually don'l like them. A good bottle of wine for a beginner, costs aboul $.5.99 to SIO. A slightly better.wine generally runs between $10 and $30, said Gergis. Typically these wines are produced in California, Germany, France and Austria. "Those are nice wines for Ihese prices," he said. "The price is great and the product is gckid." Of course, special occasions may call for a higher quality wine like Dofn Perignon Crislal champagne, "the best in the nation," which sells for aboul $129, Gergis said. To make the choice much simpler. Donna Diederich, wine connoisseur for Taorello's Marketplace in Brighton, suggests die following wines to accompany holiday meals: Tlirkcy gewurztraminer, beaujolias, muscat Cornish hens pinot noir, chenin blanc; gewurz- U-aminer Duck or goose' sauvignon blanc, dry riesling Rack of lamb bordeaux Venison syrah, red zinfandel Roast beef or sirloin cabernet saiivignon, barolo, incrlol Corned Beef alsace pi nol gris or riesling Smoked ham sparkling wine,rose' Honey-Baked Ham beaujolias nouveau, riesling Salmon pinol noir cliaidonnay Black-eycd peas barbara, beaujolias Oyster soup chablis, pinol gris Fruit-based desserts ice wine, late harvest riesling, sauiume Chocolate-based desserts port, sparkling For more additional assistance in selecting wine, contact: The Vintage Wine Shoppe, W. 10 Mile Road, al Meadowbrook Road in, (248) Taorello's Marketplace, 1007 E.
