Poole said the child was injured after
she fell over a second-story balcony during a game of "whirlybird."
Under cross examination, Dev admitted that the force sustained in the fall
could have created Allison's injuries.
Defense attorney Mark Satawa further
highlighted the toddler.'s absence of fractures in various stages of healing.
In making her determination about the
child's injuries, Dev said she examined
Allison as well as reviewed reports. One

The worst kept secret in Canton is no longer a
secret.
State Rep. Phil LaJoy ended all the speculation that he would enter the race
to replace Canton Supervisor
Tom Yack, who recently
announced he will not run for
re-election in the fall. LaJoy
officially entered the race on
Friday.
The Republican lawmaker has
a long history of public service
in Canton. In addition to servLaJoy
ing his third term in the State
House, LaJoy previously served 13 years as a
Canton trustee.
Although LaJoy says he has enjoyed serving
in Lansing, he will be term-limited and won't be
able to run for re-election in the fall.
"The reality is I'm term-limited, so the timing
is pretty good," said LaJoy, 63, who has lived in
Canton since 1976.
LaJoy, who praised the job Yack has done during the last two decades as supervisor, said he is
committed to the community and has a desire
to maintain and build on the exceptional quality
of life Canton offers its residents.
"I'm not the kind of guy who is going to come
in and blow things up. Still I will bring my own
ideas to the table," he said.
During his time in Canton, he was instrumental in the creation of the Canton Soccer
Club and was the founder andfirstdirector of
the Canton Soccer Tournament. He served on
the board of Canton Chamber of Commerce,
on the Community Advisory Council for the St.
Joseph Mercy Medical Center, and as a member
of the Michigan Higher Education Assistance
Authority. LaJoy is also a member of the Lions
Club, St. John Neumann Catholic Church, the
Canton Township Hall of Fame, and is responsible for starting the Leadership Canton program.
"I love Canton. I have tried to serve Canton
the best I could both on the board of trustees
and in Lansing. With all the things I've done, I
feel I know the community very well," he said.
LaJoy said the town, like the rest of the state,
faces some economic challenges. He believes
his experience in Lansing will benefit him as
supervisor.
LaJoy also promised he would not run for
the state senate seat currently held by Bruce
Patterson, when Patterson is term-limited in
two years.
"If I'm lucky enough to get elected supervisor,
I'll end my career as supervisor," he said.
The LaJoy family is well known in Canton. He
and wife of 40 years, Jean, are active. Both of
their sons, Chris and Todd, also live in Canton.
Todd LaJoy currently serves on the board of
trustees and is rumored to be interested in running for his father's state House seat.

In addition, they are not mutually
exclusive..You can use both if you
choose.
The MET is a pre-paid tuition
program. Basically, you buy a
contract for tuition in the future
based upon today's rates.
You can buy as little as one
semester of tuition or you can buy
four years. The MET applies only to
undergrad education.
There are different MET contracts
based upon where the student goes
to school. For example, you can
purchase a contract for community
college o f for a four-year university.
There is a different rate structure
for different universities throughout
the state. Tuition is more expensive
at University of Michigan and
Michigan State, so contracts for
those universities are more expensive

it is a matter of personal preference
which one you choose. However, one
thing to keep in mind is that the
initial contribution is much lower in
the MESP. You can open an account

used for any qualified education

The North American
International Auto Show and
winning are synonymous for
Steve Paulsen. He's lost track
of how many consecutive years
students in his graphic design
class at the William D. Ford
Career Technical Center have
won awards in the auto show*s
annual high school poster contest.
And this year is no exception,
with three students — Emily
Browne of Westland, Jesse
English of Wayne and Brittany
Flora of Canton — walking
away with $1,250 in prize
money for their designs.
"We found out we won
just before Christmas," said
Browne, a junior at John Glenn
High School. "My parents, they
were excited, it was like 'Oh,
my God!'"
"I got to stop asking for
gas money," added English, a
sophomore at Wayne Memorial
High School.
Browne received $500 in
prize money and two awards

I'm glad I made the changes."
Flora did only two drafts.
Her poster is two raffle tickets
with the auto show name on
them and a car in the middle.
Her only change was scaling
down the size of the car.
The prize money will come in
handy for Browne, who plans
to use it to buy a computer
to do design work at home.
Taking Paulsen's course has
led her to plan for a career in
graphic design.
English plans to spend some
of his winnings and put the
rest in savings. He said what he
has learned in Paulsen's class
has a lot to do with his future
career plans.
"I want to be a video game
designer. I love video games,"
he said.
Flora plans to save her
money. She and her sister have
just started saving money to
get their own apartment.
Paulsen's students have a
winning record with the contest. The first year, five or six
students entered and almost
all of them won because there
were so few entries.
"This is the best contest for
kids this age that I've found,"
said Paulsen, adding that he
tries to teach the students how
to be good designers. The reason is simple: "I know we've
got a chance of winning, if

they have professional designers judge it. That's helps us out
because I stress professionalism."
In addition to the prize
money, the three students
received tickets to the auto
show and plan to attend to
see their posters. All winning
entries are on display at the
auto show and on its official
Web site, www.naias.com.
The poster entries were
judged by an independent
panel of recognized members
from the local art community,
along with auto show staff.

By Elena Lombari
Most of us take things
like reading, watching TV
or playing cards for
granted. But poor vision
from conditions like
macular degeneration,
glaucoma, diabetes or
cataracts makes these
tasks difficult or even
impossible. When, people
have insufficient vision to
do the things they want to
do, they have low vision.
Today Michigan
Optometrist Dr. Sheldon
Smith has the answers
many of these people have
been seeking. Dr. Smith, a
Low Vision Specialist,
helps people with these
types of eye diseases see
better. A Fellow of the
International Academy of
Low Vision Specialists, Dr.
Smith is one of a select
group of doctors serving
the visually impaired.
"People don't know that
there are experienced
doctors who can help them
with specialized low vision
care," says Dr. Smith.
"Many people are told
by their own doctors
that nothing more can
be done for their eye
condition, but there are
ways to improve vision"
says Dr. Smith. "We fit
special devices to help
patients meet their
various visual goals."
Patients often end up
using weak, clumsy

Dr Smith prescribes hands

says Dr. Smith. "That's
how powerful and
convenient they are.
Special prismatic
reading glasses and
microscopes help make
reading a little easier.
Telescopic glasses
primarily focus on
distance objects like TV,
passing neighbors or
scenery. Telescopes can
also be adapted to closer
tasks like playing cards or
computers. "Telescopes
can even help people meet
the vision requirement for
driving" Dr. Smith
explained. Michigan is one
of the 46 states that allow
bioptic telescopic glasses
for driving.
Mr. Charles Willim, age
81, of Taylor came to get
his driver license restored
after macular degeneration reduced his vision to
20/70. Dr. Smith fit him
with special driving
telescopes that improved
his vision to 20/40. A few
weeks later Charles
passed his road test and is
now a licensed driver
again. "Those telescopic
glasses are pretty darn
good" he said.

Dr. Smith also advises
patients on using sun
filters and nutritional
supplements to prevent
further vision loss. Special
glasses and telescopes
range in price from $600 to
$2,500. "Every patient is
unique, with different
amounts of vision and
individual goals," says Dr.
Smith. "I strive to help
patients resume doing
what matters most to
them. Meeting patient
goals with suitable
solutions ultimately
improves independence
and quality of life."

Recent research links elderly
tooth loss with more than a threefold greater risk for memory
problems and dementia. This may
best be explained by the
possibility that people with
cognitive impairment take worse
care of their teeth. On the other
hand, it is also possible that
dental disease causes prolonged
inflammation and infection in the
mouth, which may altar some
factors in the blood that could
cause problems in the brain, in
addition, lost teeth may lead to
altered diets, which could cause
vitamin deficiencies and other
problems that affect the brain.
Until the exact cause and effect

elderly individuals receive proper

Several girls had stayed at Woodcrest

The never-say-die Rocks cut

Glenn closed it out by scoring
the final six points.
Earl Hardison paced the winners with 20 points. Keshawn

Marken hit just 3-of-10 field

came during crunch time.
Stone had a stellar night for
the Rocks, netting 23 points

12 points and eight rebounds;
Posler netted nine points and

contributed eight points.
John Glenn drained 22-of26 free throw attempts (84.6

"We knew Glenn wasn't
going to lie down once we got
the big lead * said Salem coach
Bob Brodie. "The first time we
played them they had a 17-0 run
over a seven-minute span, so we
knew what they were capable of
doing. You have to sustain your
composure against good teams
like Glenn. We did for the most
part, but it got away from us
in the middle of the game and
toward the end.
"I told the kids after the game
that I was very proud of the way
they hung in there. John Glenn
knew it was in a game tonight."
The game was tied as late as
the 3:46 mark when Salem's
Joe Posler canned a pair of free
throws to make it 56-aU.
The Rockets took the lead for
good on their next possession

Frank from Madison Heights e-mails saying
7 ,
It's an age old tradition to talk
about the weather, but when gray
skies and cold temperatures affect
sleep and energy levels it's time
to take action. Seasonal Affective
Disorder (SAD) is a pattern of
depression for which treatment may
be as simple as sitting in front of a
light box depending on whether the
person has a severe or mild case of
the blues.
Experts from the University of
Michigan Depression Center discuss the disorder and answer questions about the latest research and
treatments 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 29,
at the Plymouth District Library
The presentation is
part of the center's
Bright Nights series
of public forums
on depression continuing through
April 22, at the
Ann Arbor District
Library's downtown
branch. For more

information, visit
www.depressioncenter.org.
The Jan. 29 program in Plymouth
offers an overview of SAD by Dr.
Melvin Mclnnis followed by a panel
discussion with Dr. J. Todd Arnedt,
a psychologist and director of the
University of Michigan Behavioral
Sleep Medicine program, and Dr.
Neera Ghaziuddin, an assistant professor of psychiatry. Mclnnis directs
the Depression Specialty Clinic
at the U-M Depression Center
and the Heinz C. Preehter Bipolar
Research, group, and is the Thomas
and Nancy Upjohn Woodworth
Professor of Bipolar Disorder and
Depression.
Mclnnis would like to see other
physicians become involved in the
panels to raise awareness about
SAD and mood disorders in general.
"Seasonal Affective Disorder is
the same as symptoms of depression
- people feel sad, in a low mood. It's
difficult to concentrate. There's an
inability to enjoy yourself, a preoccupation with death or suicide,"
said Dr. Melvin Mclnnis. "With
less severe forms symptoms include
diminished energy, low interest.
People take longer to get thenwork done. One of the symptoms is
people sleep longer. If individuals
suspect they have a depressed mood
they should talk to their primary
care doctor, go to different Web
sites and learn about depression and

doctors reading the results of blood tests
may be fooled into thinking obese men are
disease-free. Researchers studied more
than 14,000 men who had undergone
treatment for prostate cancer. They found
those with a high body mass index had
a higher blood volume and iower PSA
concentrations, which is
used to detect prostate
cancer. The concern is
some men could have
a total amount of PSA
in their blood to signal
prostate cancer, but since
obese men have so much
more blood, doctors are

Tom, you may want to add some fish
to your menu! Researchers studied more
than 2,000 men and women. They found
those who frequently ate fish scored
better on memory, visual conception,
motor skills, attention, orientation and
verbal fluency tests. Experts say the
more fish the study participants ate,
the bigger the benefit. They believe it is
the omega 3 fatty acids in the fish that
are good for the brain. But they are now
doing more research to see if there are
other nutrients, in fish which are helpful.

The Michigan State Medical Society
is urging homeowners to make sure the
only thing coming out of their heating
ducts this winter is warm air.
Many common household appliances
can produce excess carbon monoxide
(CO). Appliances that are potentially CO
sources include furnaces, gas dryers, gas
water heaters, space heaters, gas ranges,
and any other fuel-burning appliance.
CO is a potentially deadly colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. Winter
months are the most common time for
CO poisoning. Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea,
vomiting, chest pain, and confusion.
Unfortunately, CO is completely undetectable without a properly installed CO
detector. CO poisoning mirrors symptoms
of several other disorders and is therefore
difficult to detect without a CO detector.
Carbon monoxide detectors range in price .
from $20 to $60 and can be purchased
from most hardware and home improvement stores. The detector alarm goes off
when the level of CO reaches specific levels
in various time increments.
"More than 15,000 trips to the emergency room could be prevented each year
in the U.S. by simply installing a carbon
monoxide detector," said Dr. AppaRao
Mukkamala, a Flint radiologist and
president of the Michigan State Medical
Society, In addition to the ER visits, more
than 100 people die from unintentional
CO poisoning each year in the U.S.
Inspecting theflamein gas burning
appliances is the quickest way to detect a
problem. Blue flames indicate normal gas
emissions. Orange flames indicate a problem. In addition to the orange color, several other warning signs could be present.
Moisture on the windows, loose masonry
on chimneys, rusting or water streaking
on a vent or chimney, and loose or missing
furnace panels are all signs that a carbon
monoxide risk could be present.
To prevent CO poisoning check all
fuel-burning appliances, install CO
detectors throughout the house near
each sleeping area, never use charcoal
in the house, and never use a gas range,
oven or dryer for heating. Following
these simple steps can help keep your
family safer this winter.

BY DAVID HOPPER
TEEN JOURNALIST
Dick Clark has returned to a state
of hibernation, Santa's back to playing euchre (or whatever he does during
ten months out of the year,) and 100.3
WNIC has returned to its usual programming. That means the holiday season (previously known as
Christmastime) is over.
Aren't you glad that a
conglomerated radio station is there to remind
you when it's OK to celebrate the birth of Jesus
Christ? That's just as
good as going to church!
david hopper
But personally, I'm
thrilled to see the holidays come to a close.
The season to be jolly is over and now
it's timeto post multitudes of unwanted
products on eBay. Nothing puts me more
in the spirit of Christmas than browsing
unwanted gifts on eBay!
Be sure to check out my posting of
mud flap scrubbers—because important people will always judge you by the
underside of your car.
Of course, I have better reasons to see
the holidays end.
As a young, Christian man, I'm simply elated to see my local retail stores
take down those, "Happy Holidays!"
and "Season's Greetings!" signs. Now I
know that Jesus warned his followers
that Christians would be persecuted. But
when stores don't recognize my religious
conviction, that's just too much for my
fragile faith.
Think about it. If I can't count on my
local Mac/s or Nordstrom's to affirm my
faith in the Almighty, where do you suggest I turn? Family? Friends? Church?
Don't be ridiculous.
That's one reason to be glad the "holidays" (I shudder to even say the word)
are over.
I also think that it's wonderful that all
the poor and starving people went back,
into hibernation (or wherever they go.)
I'm not sure why, but it seems to me that
the needy get extra hungry near the end
of the year. Why else would the Salvation
Army incessantly ring those bells for
money?
And why else would clothing and can
drives become so popular in December?
Surely, poor people don't need to eat
the entire year! Otherwise, one would
think people would.be charitable enough
to give the entire year—even if it meant
cutting back on Starbucks. Clearly, people aren't this confused.
I'm also glad that I don't have to feel
obligated to be nice anymore. During
November and December, I always
feel obligated to be kind. The other ten
months out of the year, I can be a jerk!
Why just last week, I was driving through downtown Plymouth
when I saw an elderly couple going to
cross the street. If it had been during
Christmastime, an inexplicable spirit of
niceness would have compelled me to let
them cross.
But the month is January, and that
gives me permission to run over their
frail toes as I try to beat the red light., I
think the Jesus bobblehead that I keep
on my dashboard was even nodding with
approval.
However, the best part of this new year
and the end of Christmastime is obvious:
we can prepare for Christmas: 2008 ©
(sponsorships are going fast!) You can
never start preparing too early.
And this way, you don't even have to
take your Christmas lights down.
Though maybe Dick Clark would do
it. He's probably looking for something
to do.

As the Christmas season drew
to a close, P-CEP teachers and
staff took down their evergreens,
Santas and stockings that previously adorned their rooms.
Many students loved the
Christmas atmosphere leading up
to the holiday, but
some students said
they felt uncomfortable with the
non-secular deco-.
rations.
A Muslim junior
molly fessler
at Salem High
School, who did
not want her name
published, feels that traditional
Christmas trimmings have no
place in public schools. .
"It makes me mad," she said,.
"Putting up Christian decorations
is disrespectful to everyone. I go
to a public school. I shouldn't have
Christmas stuff or even Jewish
things shoved in my face."
The teen says there should be no
decorations during this year's holiday season.
"There is a separation between
church and state in this country
for a reason," she said.
On the other side of the coin,
some students said they weren't
bothered by the decor.
"I didn't really mind them " said
Lydia Rund, a Jewish sophomore
at Canton High School. "It was a
nice feeling leading up to winter
break."

then being a Thespian is a step in

If you enjoy reading, the Great
Books Club provides literature and
conversation.
And, for the simple joy of helping
others, the Key Club fits the bill.
The Key Club, which stands for
"Kiwanis Educating Youth", is a
organization that focuses on charity work. It is an off-shoot of the
Kiwanis organization.
If you visit the official Kiwanis
Web siê, www.kiwanis.org, you'll
see that the name "Kiwanis" means
"we trade" or "we share our talents."
It was coined from an American
Indian expression, Nunc Keewanis. Kiwanians are volunteers

There are no current guidelines

either don't care or have no outlet
to express their frustrations, especially without appearing to be a
grinch to their Christmas-celebrating peers.
Although every student,

This past year, Christmas spirit
was certainly not lacking anywhere

a few scattered menorahs could be

The issue is whether religious

holidays and beliefs be fairly represented?

to children and communities.
The Key Club uses it's wealth of
teenage volunteers to do a variety
of things, such as volunteering at
nursing homes, bellringingduring
the holidays and cleaning up parks.
"Key Club is a great club to join,
if you want to be satisfied with
the feeling of helping others,"
said Plymouth sophomore Valerie
Clanton.
About 50 people are currently in
the club and so far this year they
have collected money for UNICEF,
packaged food for the homeless and
suppliedfoodto adoptable pets at
the Humane Society.
While they occasionally receive
thank you cards, that's not the
main goal of their efforts, said Key
0ub treasurer BreAnn Martin.
"We don't expect thank yous,"
she said, adding that she joined the
club because she "wanted to help
the less fortunate."
In their meetings every other
Thursday,. Club president Gillian
Reily discusses the different types
of charities and events to sign up
for.
Martin said there never seems
to be a shortage of willing of teens
signing upforeach activity.
This club, she said, is a great testament to the power of volunteering, the power of positivity and the
power of teenagers and that is Key.

People who are most vulnerable to becoming addicted to
role playing games are isolated, prone to boredom or are
lonely. Sometimes addicts are
socially awjcward because of
feelings of being unattractive.
These games provide an
opportunity for people to
reinvent themselves in a way
that boosts their confidence.
Gaming addiction can began
as early as 8 years old.
Signs of addiction include
playing for extensive periods
of time (over 4 hours); limiting
social activities and becoming restless or irritable when
the game is unavailable. Other
signs may include lying about
game use and disobedience of
time limits.
There are many ways to deal
with addictions such as counseling. There are also Web sites
that focus on web gaming and
how it has affected the friends
and family of gaming addicts.

a feeling of pride. To be able
to look a the result of something positive that they have
made possible is an unparalleled thrill. But it also makes
teens think, if these people
need help, if this environment
needs cleaning, who else in
the world needs help? And
what else can they as teens
do to provide it? It's teens
that volunteer who will be the
leaders of tomorrow. And it
isn't just teenagers getting in
on the act either, the K Kids
(Also Kiwanis sponsored) at
the elementary schools are as
big a help as their older counterparts.
Kristi Marshall, a junior
at Garden City High School,
goes to Burger School twice a
week to play with the students
and says, "I like to see all the
kids every week and it's great
to know that they look forward
to seeing me too. I feel like I'm
really making a difference to
someone."
Be it helping people, animals, or the environment,
teen volunteers make a big
difference. There are millions

hard in everything, not just
their sports or other after
school activities. This displays
a soundness of personality
and, in most cases a genuine
concern for their community
and the people that live in it.
This makes them much more
appealing in the eyes of boards
of admission for universities.
It looks good to everyone,
potential employers, colleges,
scholarship programs etc.
Teens who volunteer are seen
as a potential asset to any
organization. But more then
that, volunteering gives many
teens a sense that they are
doing something important.
That sense of accomplishment
drives them to achieve more.
Seeing teens doing good for
others also seems to dispel
some of the stigma surrounding today's teens.
The archetypal teenager, full
of angst and causing trouble
is one slowly but surely being
replaced by a new view of teenagers. One that is hopefully
much more positive then in
recent years past.
Volunteering can serve a
dual purpose, helping other
people and helping oneself at
the same time. Seeing a look of
gratitude on the face of someone you've helped. Or the smile
of a kid you've spent a half an
hour playing games with, gives

story agreed to speak o n the condition of anonymity.
BY RYAN BRIDGES
TEEN JOURNALIST
As teenagers progressively make their way
through adolescence, they
are continuously faced with
challenges and disturbing
confrontations, one of them
being alcohol abuse.
Along with this recurring abuse throughout the
generations comes varying
explanations. These include
psychiatric problems, lack
of parental/adult influence
and intangibles, such as
peer pressure and rebellion.
Teen drinking includes
some shocking statistics.
According to a survey
by the National Institute
on Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism, teens that have
been drinking prior to age
15 are four times more likely to develop alcohol problems than those who began
drinking at age 21.
One teenager agreed with
the results of the study.

How long and how hard do you treat arthritis? The answer rests on determining the reasons for
the pain in your joints and the limits of your activities. Are these changes the result of previous
damage or from ongoing inflammation?
If your arthritis is burned out and you hurt because the joints are permanently impaired, then
further therapy is not in your best interest. In contrast, if inflammation isflaring,then intense therapy
is the best response.
Your doctor uses several approaches to determine if your joint problem is impairment or
inflammation. First comes examination of the joints. If the joint is impaired, then signs of swelling will
be absent, and other joints will remain unchangedfrompast examinations. This finding is important
as inflammation usually involves several joints, and in the case of the knees and shoulders includes
the light and left side.
Laboratory studies are often helpful. Instances of inflammation, certain makers such as the
sedimentation rate and C- Reactive Protein showrisingnumbers. This change along with multiple
swollen joints would confirm that inflammation is the source of pain.
Based on a review of additional information, the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services has determined that Life-Alysis

At times, even after evaluation, your doctor may remain uncertain if impairment or inflammation
is dominant. In that case, he may undertake a therapeutic trial. That means he would add
medication, treat you vigorously and closely monitor your response. A failure to respond would call
for pulling back from therapy rather than adding more medication.

control balance. The majority of hearing problems results
from damage to the cochlea. Typical causes are genetics,
excessive exposure to noise, the natural aging process,
head injuries and the side effect of some medications.

When the Subaru B9 Tribeca made its debut two
years ago, critics bashed its awkward-looking
three-point grille and odd B9 prefix.
So for 2008, Subaru redesigned thefrontend .
and dropped the B9 designation with hopes to sell
more units of the midsized crossover.
Now known simply as the Tribeca, a few other
changes come with the rechristening, such as a
larger engine and new rear styling to match the
Chrysler Pacifica-esquefrontend.
The 2008 Subaru Tribeca is available in base
and Limited trims. The $29,995 base model come
with 18-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, a tilt
steering wheel, powerfrontseats, full power
accessories, cruise control, a CD/MP3 player with
auxiliary input jack, a 7-inch display screen and
keyless entry.
Opting for the Limited, which comes with a
$37,795 MSRP, gets you a moonroof, roof rails,
leather seating, upgraded speakers, an in-dash CD
changer, HomeLink,frontseat heaters and
memory for the driver seat.
Standalone options include satellite radio, a
remote-start system, a navigation system with rear
parking camera and on seven-passenger models
only, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system.
An optional 50/50-split third-row seat increases
the Tribeca's occupant capacityfromfiveto seven.
Five-person Tribecas have 38 cubic feet of cargo
room, and folding the back seatflatraises the total
to 74 cubic feet. The seven-seat Tribeca has only 8
cubic feet of space behind the third row, which can
foldflatinto thefloorwhen not in use.
With the split backrest you can carry long items
like skis with two people sitting on either side of
the cargo.
As for comfort, the second-row seats slide
forward and backward nearly 8 inches, but lack
the legroom needed by taller adults. The third row
is just for show. It is way too cramped for anyone
but small children, or girls who order nothings but
The Subaru Tribeca has a revised grille and more powerful engine for 2008.
water and salads with no dressing at fancy
restaurants.
Upfront,the cabin features a wraparound
cockpit decked out in metallicfinish.This is
complemented by the electroluminescent gauges
and center-mounted information display that lights
up well at night.
The Tribeca is the only SUV on the planet with a
horizontally opposed engine, which is a V6 spread
flat. This design is intended to lower the Tribeca's
center of gravity, translating to improved stability in
fast cornering.
The engine is a 3.6-liter 6-cylinder that produces
256 horsepower — an increase of 11 horsepower
over 2007. The sole transmission is a 5-speed
automatic with a manual shift mode.
The tandem allows the crossover to tow up to
3,500 pounds when properly equipped and that
makes it competitive for its class.
The gas mileage ratings are low compared to
competitors at only 16 miles per gallon in the city
and 21 on the highway. But the Tribeca is smaller
than most other midsized crossovers, allowing it to
maneuver around town with ease. Subaru's
standard all-wheel-drive is another strong point,
especially in Michigan weather.
However, the Tribeca's soft rear suspension
allows a fair amount of body roll around corners.
On the safetyfront,every 2008 Subaru Tribeca
comes with anti-lock brakes with brake assist,
traction control, stability control, front-seat side
airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and active
front head restraints.
A rollover-sensing program that redirects power
and braking if a rollover is imminent provides
added safety.
In National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration tests, the Tribeca scored a perfect
five-star rating for bothfront-and side-impact
protection. It also received the top rating of "good"
infrontal-offsetand side-impact crash tests
conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway
Safety.
Overall, the 2008 Subaru Tribeca remains a solid
performer in the crossover segment.
But for larger families who need a third row that
people can actually sit in, comparable vehicles to
test for yourself to see whether they're better for you
include the Mazda CX-9 and Toyota Highlander.

Nestled within tall trees sits
this 2,877-square-foot country
ranch home. The Elliott (40519) presents a covered porch
area with many windows and
skylights around the home.
The dormer over the living
room has a beautiful half
moon window.
Upon entering the Elliott,
there is no obstruction of view,
only open spaces. The family
room is directly in front of the
door, the dining room on the
right, and the Irving room on
the left. Both the living room
and family room is vaulted
with the two skylights. The

family room also has a seethrough fireplace into the dining room.
A skylight near the fireplace
provides the dining room with
extra light during the winter
months. The kitchen area is
off the dining room. To the left
is a deep walk-in pantry, ideal
for holding those extras a family needs. The cooking area
has convenience of appliances
around the wall area, and an
island bar in the center. A
breakfast nook with a skylight
completes the kitchen.
The utility room, between
the kitchen and garage,
includes a sink, freezer, folding
counter, and an areaforthe
forced air unit and the water
heater. Two bedrooms with
wall closets are separated from
the family room by a storage
closet. Between the rooms are
a full bath, with two vanity
sinks, and a linen closet.
The master suite has been
thoughtfully provided with
a number of extra amenities. Light pours through the
French doors that lead onto
the deck, while skylights
brighten the main part of the
suite, and the bath area. The
walk-in closet has cabinets
as well as hanging area. An
oval tub and a walk-in shower
a
b
u
n

a

share one wall of the full bath,
while opposite are two vanity
sinks.
Near the bath is the finest luxury the Elliott offers,
a green room with a spa.
Also accessible to the family room, the green room has
four skylights and five large
windows. The light and spa
makes this ideal as a greenhouse. Plants would thrive on
the atmosphere of light and
moisture.

This home emits a feeling
of graciousness and welcome.
It would make an ideal home
for the retired couple, the
couple whose children come
to visit, or a family with
children at home. The green
room would be ideal for club
meetings or the teen party.
