CANTON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
www.homelownlife. com
Foundation awards grants, scholarships
and growing. Last year the foundation contributed $80,000 back to
the community in grants to nonprofits and scholarships to individuals.
Noricks attributes much of the
foundation's grant and scholarship
giving to contributors in the Canton
and Plymouth communities. "I
think people recognize the value of
being a part of the programs."
In fact, new scholarships are in
place as applications are now available for 2004'. Among the new are
a $500 from the Canton Garden
Club; $500 from the Elizabeth
Durack Memorial Scholarship (in
memory of Dan Durack, Canton
administrative services director's
sister); Canton Community
Foundation/Youth Leadership
Scholarship and $500 from th€

STAFF WRITER
The economy may be sluggish,
but the Canton Community
Foundation efforts in the community show few signs of i t
"I would say perhaps our donations have been down, but our two
special events - annual golf outing
and the "Winter Ball - have been
successful," said Joan Noricks,
foundation president. "I think it is
the trust factor - 1 would hope. We
work hard for that credibility."
In November, the foundation
reached the $1 million in assets, a
major achievement for the 14-yearold organization, which serves residents of Canton and Plymouth. Of
the $1 million, $800,000 is
endowed in an investment account
Jack Demmer Ford Scholarship.
The Kiwanis Club of Plymouth
Canton Breakfast also increased
their grant from $500 to $1,000.
In addition to the new the scholarships and grants, another 30 are
available to Plymouth and Canton
residents. Applications are available
at high school guidance offices, the
Canton Public Library and
Plymouth District Library, and on
the foundation's Web site,
www.cantonfoundation.org
Deadline for submitted applications is Feb. 21,2004. Donations to
the foundation are eligible for a
Michigan Income Tax Credit
Checks should be made to Canton
Community Foundation and
mailed to the foundation at 50430

STAFF WRITER

When Mike Duran took his
wife and kids to Cedar Point,
he couldn't always join them
on the rides. He just didn't fit.
"I've was always heavy my
whole life," said the Canton
resident, a Churchill High
School graduate who works at
the Kroger Distribution
Warehouse in Livonia.
In the last 10 years, however,
Duran says he got even heavier
- up to 366 pounds. Dieting
was a part of Duran's life.
Sports and physical activity
were not. He just couldn't
physically participate.
Today, the six-foot Duran
weighs 209 pounds and works
out daily at lifetime Fitness in ,
Canton. "I wish I hacLdone this
five years ago."
The "this" in Duran's life is
the much-discussed and sometimes controversial gastric
bypass surgery, which he had
July 1,2002. That was the start
of a whole new life for Duran.
might be the answer after
watching 20/20 and learned
about an entire family whose
members each underwent
bariatric surgery. That prompted him to do some research.
He joined support groups on
the Internet and finally went to
a seminar conducted by Dr.
Michael Wood, who eventually
operated on Duran at BiCounty Hospital. Dr. Wood did
not respond to the Observer's
inquiries.
Poor health is what finally
prompted Duran to take
action. He had become a diabetic with high blood pressure
and high cholesterol, and sleep
apnea. And he just wasn't
happy with himself.
"We Saw him change quite a
lot," said Duran's wife, Ronda.
"Things that weren't a problem, suddenly were."
Made famous by the likes of
singer Carnie Wilson and

Bariatric surgery isn't for
everyone, yet can be a lifesaver for those who qualify.
Known as gastric bypass
surgery or stomach stapling,
attaches a piece of the small
intestine higher up on the
stomach and compartmentalizes the rest, leaving only
a small portion of the stomach, about the size of an egg.
According to the National
Institutes of Health guidelines, patients who are 100
pounds overweight may be
considered for surgery.
Patients who are less than
100 pounds overweight may
be considered if there is a
life-threatening risk, such as
diabetes. In 2003, approximately 103,000 American
underwent the surgery,
according to the American
Society for Bariatric Surgery.
The surgery can result in
complications including a
leak in where the intestine is
attached to the stomach, as
well as blood clots, blood
infections, pneumonia,
bowel obstruction and
injuries to the esophagus.
Yet some physicians say
these complications would
affect severely obese
patients who have any type
of
surgery.
This is Canton resident Mike Duran at
366 pounds, before his bariatric
surgery in July 2002.
wasn't made lightly, not that
the doctor or the insurance
company would allow that.
"They flood you with information. They want you to know
exactly what you're getting
into."
He was put through tests,
including psychological, before
he got the word that he indeed
was a candidate. Two days
before surgery he went on a
liquid diet. Surgery lasted only •
two hours.
Duran was afraid after surgery. He had so much learn
about his new life. "You still
have to watch what you eat."
His life is now about high proteins, low carbohydrates and
limited, if any, sugar, which
metabolizes quickly. "You can't
eat a hot fudge sundae, but you
can have a scoop of ice cream."
A significant effect of the
bariatric surgery, which is not
widely publicized, is how small
a piece of food must be - and
how well chewed. "The intestine's opening to a smaller
stomach is the width of a pencil." Something can get stuck
and it's back to the operating
room.
Following surgery, Duran
lived on liquids and introduced
food slowly back into his life.
He joined a support group to
give and get help to other

particularly the amount of food.
, bariatric surgery patients.
Exercise became his friend and
ally. Vitamins are also a necessity.
"I think this has been wonderful for him," Ronda said.
"We try to eat healthy and be
aware of the size of portions."
The Durans also watch what
their kids, Kelsey, 10, and
TVevor, 7, eat and how much
activity they get >
When Duran has a burger it's without the bun and french
fries. Three breadsticks and a
salad and he's full. Watching
what he eats will remain part
of is life. But it is worth the
The Mike Duran who was overweight couldn't enjoy rides at amusement parks
because he couldn't fit in the seats. After his surgery, Duran enjoyed a visit to
Disney World with his wife, Ronda, and children, Kelsey, 10, and Trevor, 7.
"I'm in good health. I have
self-confidence now and more
self esteem."

DePentu handles the musical
lives of some 160 students.
The two groups pulled
together Tuesday to perform
their annual holiday concert, a
light-hearted affair the musicians approached with a gentle
touch.
;
And they played the holiday
fare t o throngs of people,
"We had a huge crowd this
year; they seem to get bigger
the bigger and better the
orchestra gets," DePentu said.
"It was cheerful and happy, like
holiday pops. And the kids did
beautifully."
That's the important part to
DePentu, who likes that she's
passing on her love of music to
eager and willing youngsters.
She's especially impressed with
the middle school musicians,
who have to add an hour to
their already long day because
music isn't offered for them
during the regular school day.
. "Those kids are so special,"
DePentu said. "Hie fact those
middle school kids put u p with
so much to be part of the
group is amazing. No other
students have to go outside
their school day to get the
experience."
The attrition rate among
middle schoolers is low,
DePentu said, which means
they already are familiar with
the program — and with the
other students in it — by the
time they get to high school.
; "When they come to the high
school, they know they're going
to walk in the door and there
are their orchestra friends,"
pePentu said. "They have a
home."
' That's the atmosphere
bePentu and Zurbuchen foster, and it's one the kids enjoy.
There are 80 kids in the middle school string orchestras,
and another 50 strings at the
high school. Some 3 3 symphonic musicians make u p the
balance of what is a large
musical family at the p a r k
I It's an atmosphere parents
Respect for theif children,
j "(DePentu) really puts her
heart and soul into it, and
(Zurbuchen) is just as great,"
said Debra Madonna, whose
£on John graduated from the
program last year. "I don't
know which is C a t h y . & m l •
which is the music. She really
made orchestra the spot kids
could call home at the high
school — a small place in a big
place."
It's important to DePentu,
who plays the oboe with the
Plymouth Community Band,
to pass on her love for music.
It's a love she's been developing
her whole life. She remembers
the exact moment when she
knew music was going to be
her life.
Playing with the Central
Kentucky Youth Orchestra at
thoiMideast Conference,
DePentu recalls perfectly the
feeling that engulfed her when
the group played Debussy's
Afternoon of a Faun.
"I can still capture the feeling that this was the most per-,
feet thing I'd ever done * she
recalled with a smile. "Every so
often, you connect with a
piece. What I like most about
teaching is that I can help a
kid just one time get that feeling."
She makes sure her students
know that, though they may
never be part of a musical
group again, they should have
great pride and passion in
what they're doing now.
After moving with her husband, Jon, to Michigan in
1991, DePentu started teaching
at Lessenger Middle School in
Detroit before moving to
Plymouth-Canton. At
Lessenger, she showed th@
kind of dedication to her craft
for which she's become famous
here.
Ivy Custard, a secretary at
Lessenger, remembers her
daughter playing for DePentu.
She recalls DePentu working
deep into a pregnancy to get a
holiday concert on the stage.
"She worked so hard with
the kids," Custard recalled.
"The music was very good. She
was very dedicated."
Wearing her musical heart
on her sleeve is one of the
things that impresses her stu"She knows so much about
music," said junior Brendan
Kraeger, who has been with
DePentu for five years. "She
always uses 'nonsense' words
to tell us what we need to do,
b u t she reminds us she has a
master's degree so she can
make up words if she heeds to.
"She's the epitome of
teacher," Krueger added. "She
looks after her students as if

feedback, and she actually listens to us and takes it into
account. She's fantastic."
Pretty good testimony for a
woman who has always found
ways to put her talents to use.
DePentu was a clarinetist and
learned to play the oboe in seventh grade. When she was getting ready to move to the high
school, she didn't feel like she
could beat the first-chair clarinetist, so she volunteered to

"I didn't want to be a second
chairf she said simply. "They
didn't have an oboe, so I started taking lessons."
DePentu looks at her career
with a self-deprecating eye, but
her students feel she's earned
the respect she gets. Want to
know how they feel about her?
Listen to Kraeger.
"She puts so much work into
the high school and middle
school," the junior said. "She
makes orchestra, more like a
second family than a class.
Fourth hour is something
every student looks forward to
every day."

Duhl honored
It's been quite a year
for Salem graduate Scott
Duhl.
A senior at Western
Michigan, Duhl led the
Broncos' soccer team to
its first-ever NCAA
Tournament berth,
thanks to a 5-0 win over
Bowling Green State in
the Mid-American
Conference Tournament
final. \
WMU's season ended
with a 4-1 Toss to
University of WisconsinMilwaukee in its NCAA
Tournament opener, but
Duhl keeps reaping honors.
The Broncos' first-ever
four-time all-conference
selection, Duhl was also
named to the National Soccer Coaches
Association of America
Great takes Region third
team.
He is the first WMU
player so honored since
Steve Blbi in 1997. Duhl
was second among the
Broncos in goals scored
with five; he also had
three assists. WMU finished with a 12-7-2 overall record, 3-2-1 in the
MAC.
Another former Salem
player - Giusseppe lanni,
also a senior at WMU had a solid season as
well, collecting four goals
and seven assists.
Clarenceville, coming off a 41-29 loss Tuesday to •
Redford S t Katharine Drexel, stayed close for nearly :
three quarters before the Eagles went on a 28-13 run
over the final 10 minutes and five seconds to put the
game out of reach.
"We were so excited about the first game that we
missed so many shots — I think it's because we had
the butterflies, but overall I thought we took care of
the basketball pretty well for the first game," PCA
seventh-year coach Doug T&ylor said. "In the third
quarter we remembered how to play. We were able to!

P C A J S anchor in the middle, 6-foot-3 junior center Aaron Ciborowski, scored 14 of his 20 points in the
second half to spark the Eagles' spurt.
Dan Carty, a 6-foot guard-forward, chipped in with
12 points and played a solid floor game as the Eagles'
primary set-up man.
"We asked him (Carty) to turn it u p in the third -:
quarter," Tkylor said. "He's like a point-forward. He
was our third leading rebound and he handles the
"And I though Aaron played well in the pivot the
second half. He started at our school, played one
semester last year at Salem and then he came back
second semester. We're happy to have him back."
Meanwhile, senior guard Ben Baloga chipped in
with 10, while Lew Tripp, a 6-2 pogo stick who gets
plenty of lift off the floor, finished with nine. Tripp
would have had 11, but he came up short on a firsthalf dunk attempt.
"He (Tripp) missed a dunk early and I think it got \
into his head because he usually makes it with no
problem," Taylor said.
Clarenceville shot 19-of-66 from the floor (28.7
percent) and went to the line only five times (making
two).
Jason Robinson, a 6-2 senior guard, was
Clarenceville's leading scorer with a game-high 24
points, but he had to shoot the ball 27 times (making
10, including a pair of 3-pointers). Jemere Gainer, a
6-3 sophomore center, contributed nine off the
bench.
The Trojans trailed 13-10 after one quarter and 27<24 at halftime thanks to a Robinson deuce just before
the buzzer sounded.

Block earns
as top coach
As supervisor going on 30 years at
CSX's Dearborn facility, Rich Block's
day job is to repair freight cars.
The 49-year-old Block also doubles as Lutheran High Westiand
boys soccer coach, where in 13 seasons, he has put together an impressive 139-92-21 record.
Block, selected Observerland
Coach of the Year, guided the 16-4-4
Warriors to their most successful
state tourney run in school history,
winning his first-ever regional
crown before finally being derailed
in the Division IV state championship game by Muskegon Western
Michigan Christian, 4-1.
"The final game didn't go the way
we wanted, but I told the guys to
have fun and enjoy the experience,"
Block said. "I don't want them to
forget that,
"It was a dream season because
we had never won a regional game.
Then we win our first regional, go
on and win a state semifinal game,
and get to the find."
Block, a 1972 Livonia Franklin
High graduate, credits his six seniors, led by All-Staters Brandon
Noble, John Hilden, Jake DeVries
and Jake Sliva, along with Kris
Buczek and Adam Fisher, for showing the way.
"One of the main reasons we did
as well as we did was because of the
leadership of our six seniors," Block
said. "Our freshman and sophomores fed off those six guys.
Mentally, they taught them how to
win."
Block, ably assisted on the coaching sidelines the past six years by
former Lutheran Westiand player
Ken Shingledecker, has now won
four districts, one Metro Conference
and one regional title.

\ What a start. Too bad Canton's basketball team couldn't sustain it. .
The Chiefs bolted out to a 10-0 lead
Friday at Novi, then went 10 minutes
without sparing. The Wildcats, scoreless
until the final minute of the first quarter,
got going in the second, outscoring
Canton 16-3 to take a six-point halftime
m
the second half, leading to a 46-33 nonleague defeat. Canton dropped to 1-1;
Novi is 2-0.
"We played tough defense, they played
tough defense," said Canton coach
PREP BASKETBALL
Charlie Paye. "That's Pat's (Schuette, the
Novi coach) style. Offensively, we just
couldn't score. And it wasn't any one •
player — nobody could score.
"But give Novi credit. They did a good
job inside, collapsing down low."
The Chiefs continued to stumble offensively in the third quarter, the Wildcats
outscoring them 12-7 to take a 31-20 lead
into the fourth period. Canton made a
run in that last quarter, but could get no
closer than seven. -
Paye paced the Chiefs with eight
points, including two 3-pointers. Brad ;
Waidmann had seven points and five
rebounds. D.J. Bridges grabbed nine
boards, but was limited to four points.
Novi got 11 points from TVevor Hoover,
nine from Brad Simpson and eight from
Anthony Harden.
! ;
"We really concentrated defensively on;
(Simpson), and I thought we did a really
good job," said Paye.
TheXhiefs return home this week for *
games against Ann Arbor Huron at 7
p.m. Tuesday and against Brighton at 7
p.m. Thursday.
It was a tough week for Canton's hockey team.
When the Chiefs lost 3-1 to a good Livonia Churchill
team Dec. 5, their coach, Jim Wheaton, was encouraged.
"We proved we can play with anybody," Wheaton said at
the time.
After Friday's 8-3 loss to Livonia Franklin at the
Arctic Edge, Canton's home arena, it didn't look that
The Chiefs' loss was their fourth-straight, . in
Western Lakes Activities Association play. They are 1
overall. Franklin improved to 4-0-1.
On Wednesday, in a WLAA game also played at the
Arctic Edge, Canton was pummeled by Walled Lake
Central, 10-1.
"The defense is hurting us," said Wheaton. "Obviously,
we're giving up goals like crazy. But we're working, we're
still working hard."
It didn't help when the Chiefs lost their No. 1 goalie,
Tony Hylko, to a suspected concussion midway through
the third period of Friday's game against Franklin.
Hylko will probably be out of action until after the first
of the year.
"It was a rough night all around," said Wheaton, who
had another player —. Garrett Hyman — slice his hand
open on a skate in a freakish lockerroom accident after
Friday's game.
The Patriots took command early, scoring three times
in the first period and adding four more goals in the sec..

"Tom has tremendous quickness"
said Salem coach Ed McCarthy, "he's
intelligent on the field and he covers
a lot of ground.
"But his best attribute is his quickness. There's no d o u b t in my m i n d
he's the quickest goalkeeper in the
state."
John Hiiden, GK, Luth. Westiand:
The senior goalkeeper posted a 0,91
save percentage and a goals-against
average of just over one per game.
Hiiden had a total of nine shutouts
en r o u t e to f i r s t - t e a m Ail-Metro

Sterling Heights Bethesda Christian.
.
"We were outshot many times and
John helped us very much w i t h his
strong goaikeeping to keep us in the
game," Lutheran Westiand coach Rich
Block said. "He's a complete player, a
superb keeper, and he distributes the
bail well. We executed many of our
plays based on John and his playmaking abilities."

A senior, Hess was named all-WLAA
and was honorable mention all-state.
"He was a key part of our defense,
an outstanding marking back who was
an offensive threat as welf," said his
coach, George Tomasso. "He got forward a lot and helped the attack. He
was a bit of a playmaker for me on
the outside."
Indeed Hess did help on the attack,
scoring three goals and adding three
assists.

Coaches Association.
"Pat has, been'a four-year starter,
which is pretty rare in our program,"
Stevenson coach Lars Richters said.
"He will play college soccer somewhere. He was an absolute pleasure to
coach because of his ability, leadership, unselfishness and passion for
the game."
Chris Conlisk, MF, Salem: Conlisk

A senior, Conlisk was second-team
Division I all-state and was an all-conference selection. It was his secondstraight season making all-WLAA; last
year, he was selected as a defender.
"He has a tremendous balance of
size, speed and skill," said McCarthy,
his coach. "He's very well-rounded, a
tremendous athlete. He can shoot the
ball with his left or right foot and is
very strong. There's no doubt in my
mind he's one of the most dominating
players in the state."

number of big goals for us. He scored
for us in important moments."
Mike Donaldson, MF, Redford Union:
Donaldson was the best player on a
solid RU team that finished 12-2-3. He's
a four-year member of the varsity and
a t h r e e - y e a r t e a m c a p t a i n . His 19
goals led the team and he also added
13.assists, in becoming an all-Mega

"Those are huge numbers for a guy
who was basically a defensive player,"
said RU coach John Jazwinski. "He's a
good athlete and a strong player. He'd
find ways to score. And he had a great
a t t i t u d e . He pulled our guys in the
right direction."
Tim Oswalt, F, Ply. Christian: A senior, Oswalt led Plymouth Christian into
the Division IV regionals by scoring 28
goals. He added 14 assists (70 p o i n t s '
total), earning Division IV first team
all-state and all-MichiganJndependent
Athletic Conference accolades.
• "The thing about Tim, he showed
great leadership on the field and
never gave up," said his coach, Terry
Bixler. " W h e n y o u s c o r e 28 goals,
you're a marked man. He was often

MU's Suder ends career as
Four Madonna University
volleyball players were named
to the NAIA!s Ail-American
team Friday after the
Crusaders rolled to one of the
best records in school history
and reached the NAIA
Tournament quarterfinals.
Amanda Suder, a senior and
a Salem HS graduate; Laura
Lesko, a junior from
Wyandotte (Roosevelt);
Natalja Tinina, a sophomore
from Riga, Latvia; and Ashley
Frost, a sophomore from Lake
Odessa, were all honorable
mention All-American.
It was the first time each was
so honored.
For Suder, who has played in
every match in her four years
at Madonna, it is a fitting end
to a superb career. For the past
two seasons, Suder has filled
the newly-created libera — or
defensive specialist — position
for the Crusaders.
She did it well enough to
earn Wolveririe-Hoosier
Athletic Conference player of
the year honors this season.
"In volleyball, passing is the
key," said Madonna coach Jerry
Abraham. "You have to have

Going 44-4 — it's the fewest
losses in a season posted by a
Madonna team — would make
a season a lot of fun indeed.
The other three Crusaders,
given All-American honors
enjoyed it, to be sure.
Tinina, a 6-foot outside hitter, led Madonna in kills with
784, kills-per-game average
with 4.8, and service aces with

Lesko, a middle hitter, was

digs with 492. And Frost, the
team's setter, collected 2,255
set assists, an average of 13.42
per game, the second-best single-season total ever at
Madonna.
It was a good season allaround. "You're always disappointed when you lose," summarized Abraham. "But we
could not have played better
up until that third game of our
last match (against Biola
University)."

Scriggia and Jeff Paison each
scored two goals for Franklin,
with Robert getting three
assists and Scriggia two. Dave
McCall added a goal and three
assists, Matt Vicini had a goal
and Joe Kozlowski had three
assists.
"We played fairly well," said
Franklin coach Terry Jobbitt.
"We haven't played up to our
potential yet.
"Canton's a young team with
a new coach and they're learning. They tried to play their two
lines against our four, and
that's going to take its toll"
The Chiefs' offense got going
in the second period, Bryan
Wioncek narrowing the gap to
4-i with a goal at 12:46 (Pat
Davidson assisting) and, after
Vicina's goal, making it 5-2
with a score by Reece McCabe
(from Mike Olandese) at 9:14.
But Paison scored twice
before the period was over to
re-establish Franklin's dominance. McCabe got another
goal for Canton at 13:43 in the
third period.
Sam Burrows was in goal for
Franklin; he had 39 saves.
Wednesday's loss to Central
was no better for Canton.
McCabe scored the only goal.
The Chiefs have two more
games this week before the holiday break, during which
Wheaton hopes several things

Crusaders snap 6-game skid Here's
It took a while, but Madonna University's
men's basketball team found the range in the
second half Friday in the opening round of the
Gates Automotive Classic at Bethel (Ind.)
College, and the result was a 74-64 victory over
Trinity International (111.).
The win snapped a six-game losing streak for
Madonna, boosting its record to 4-7. Trinity
slipped to 2-13.
The Crusaders connected on just ll-of-31
(35.5 percent) first-half shots and trailed the
Trojans, 39-35. But the second half was different; Madonna made 15-of-23 from the floor
(65.2 percent), including 3-of-4 three-pointers.
Noel Emenhiser, who scored a career-high 36
points in an overtime loss to University of
Michigan-Dearborn last Hiesday, continued his
hot shooting with 23 points (7-of-13 from the
field, 8-fot-8 from the free-throw line). He also
had three assists and two steals.

Kids ask
darndest
questions
k
sking questions is something kids do naturally.
Ever}' day my kids ask me
questions, and I love hearing
them because it gives me an
opportunity to see what they
happen to be thinking about.
This time of year, especially, I
find myself being bombarded
with endless questions.
"Mom, does Santa always
wear that red and white
suit?" my 7-year-old daughter
asks me. "I mean, does he
ever wear anything different?"
Like I said, I love when my
children ask questions. It's
the answers I have a bit of a
problem with, I try to answer
these Santa questions as best
I can. Either I give a brief
answer or simply say, "I don't
know." Sometimes, when I'm
really at a loss, I take the ultimate copout and simply say:
"Well, that's a good question
honey. What do you think?"
"Do you think Santa went
to school Mom?" she presses
me.
1, he certainly knows
how to read because he has
to read all those letters from
kids. And he probably is good
at math because he has to
count all those presents."
Eileen nods her head and
seems to accept this hypothesis. As I get peppered with all
these questions, I start asking
myself questions. Like, why
did she ask me that? Did I
answer it as well as I could
have?
"You know, some kids don't
believe in Santa," she suddenly blurts out. "They think
their parents bring all the
presents or something."
I pause, trying to act natural. "Really. Who do you
know who thinks that? Do
any of your friends think
that?"
"No," she said. "Me and
Rachel were just talking
about it."
"I see. Well, what do you
believe?"
She looks at me as though I
just fell off the chimney.
"Mom. You know I believe in
Santa. So does Rachel."
I breathe a sigh of relief.
My 4-year-old believes in
Santa, too, of course. But she
hasn't begun to ask questions
yet. She just accepts and
loves him for all she hears he
is. Her initial fear of Santa
has transformed into
awestruck wonder.
On the other hand, her
older sister is beginning to
show signs of critical thinking. Her questions don't yet
reflect any cynicism or doubt,
just a keen desire to know the
answers.
Eileen told me that one of
the things she wants for
Christmas this year is a dictionary. Not just any dictionary, but a kid's dictionary, she
emphasized. One that has big
print and lots of pictures.
The more I thought about
it, the more I realized what a
wonderful gift it would be.
After all, kids think we
grown-ups have all the
answers. And even though I
want to hold on to that little
girl and all of her questions
forever, I know she has to
start finding some answers
on her own.
"I have thousands of questions about lots of things,"
she told me one night while I
was putting her to bed.
"I know, honey. That's
good. That's how you learn
things, by asking questions.
It's good to have a curious
mind."

steps back in time
Luminaries light the way for visitors in search of an old-fashioned
Christmas. Here at Greenmead
Historical Village, time stopped about
a century ago.
Visitors will have the opportunity
to learn about lifestyles of families living in the farming community then
known as Livonia Township during
Candlelight Tours which begin at 6
p.m. (last tour at 8 p.m.) FridaySaturday, Dec. 26-27. Tickets are $5,

Candlelight Tours provide a
glimpse into Christmases past. Last
year a blanket of snow made for an
even more spectacular walk along the
dirt roads leading to Newburg School
(c. 1861), Newburg Methodist Church
(1848), the Bungalow (1913), A.J.
Geer General Store (1908) and
Kingsley and Shaw houses built in
At each location presenters, some
dressed in Civil War-era costumes,
relay how holidays were celebrated
amidst decorations made from natural items such as greenery and nuts.
On Dec. 26, violinist Diane Dignan
performs classical music in the
church followed by Ward
Presbyterian Bell Choir on Dec. 27. In
between buildings, visitors can warm
up with hot cocoa and cookies while
listening to several members of the
Livonia Civic Chorus sing carols at
the Friends Meeting House (1846).
'The Shaw and Kingsley houses are
the prettiest because they're all lit
with candles," said Linda Wiacek,
recreation supervisor.
History is alive in the village owned
by the city of Livonia and operated by
the Livonia Historical Commission.
Research on decorations surrounding
holiday celebrations began in the
mid-1980s, according to commission
chairman Suzanne Daniel.
"In 1850, Christmas wasn't a legal
holiday in Michigan," Daniel said.
"How they celebrated depended on
religious backgrounds. The Catholics
and Episcopalians had a good old
time, but Puritans made it illegal. In
New England, people worked on
Christmas and children went to
school. As German and Irish moved
in, that began to change. By the Civil
War, they'd made it a legal holiday."
TWO CHRISTMAS TIMES
The village is divided into two time
periods. The west end illustrates mid19th century life. The east end of the
village reconstructs the intersection
of Ann Arbor Trail and Newburgh, c.
1910-1925.
"By then Christmas was legal, but

not everyone had a Christmas tree,"
Daniel said. "There were public trees
in church and school, but they didn't
truck trees all over like today. If you
lived in an area where you were able
to cut one down, you might have had
a tree. They had homemade decorations of natural items. If you were
wealthy, you could purchase store
bought. This was a farm community,
which means we're behind times. We
try to portray what it was really like
100 to 125 years ago." '
Maureen Casey, her husband
Michael, and daughters Shannon, 19,
and Annie, 18, used paper stars and
pine cones to decorate Newburg
Church. Built in 1858, the building's
decorations recall the 1915-25 time
Maureen Casey and her family decorated the church. For more on Greenmead, please see

"It's definitely old-fashioned."
And most definitely fun. Livonia
resident Edward Vitez plays a Civil
War-era Santa. Dressed in striped
pants, he carries a sack full of candy
canes and licorice that looks like
chunks of coal.
"In the 1860s, Santa would have
worn a red stocldng knit cap," Vitez

Garage sale success leads to establishing business
BY BRAD KADRICH
STAFF WRITER
It was actually the people who would shop at Doug
and Michele Schiftar's garage sales who noticed it
first.
The sales, which did quite well for the Schiftars,

were actually drawing buyers from resale stores and
consignment shops, and their other patrons were
noticing.
Since the couple was looking for a new line of work
anyway, the idea seemed a natural to them,,and
Consignment Outlet was born.
"W7e always had a lot of toys, a lot of items," said
Michele Schiftar, who opened the store next to the
CVS at Sheldon and Ann Arbor Road. "We'd always
been pretty' successful at garage sales, and we were
looking for a new business. So we thought we'd give it
a try."
The couple partnered in a fitness business, It
Figures, that had previously occupied the space next
to CVS. When It Figures closed, there was still the
leased space, and the Schiftars decided the time was
right.
They looked around at what the area needed and
"noticed the closest store like this is in Northviile"
Michele Schiftar said. There's also a similar store in
Canton, but Schiftar said it's mainly for children and
sells mostly clothing.
Consignment Outlet takes a vast array of items,
including men's and women's clothing, maternity
wear, kids clothes and accessories. There are toys and
fiirniture, furs and decorative household items.
The store also accepts what it calls "unique" items
by special appointment. Schiftar said the most unique
thing she's taken in so far is a crossbow, complete
with a $500 scope. Price for the package at
Consignment Outlet: S675.
"It's been going really good," Schiftar said. "People
are telling us, 'We're glad you're here.'"
The Schiftars take in items on consignment, decide
the sale price, then split the price with the owner. The
idea, Michele Schiftar said, is to find the right price.
Too high, and no one buys. Too low, and neither the
consignor nor the store makes any money.
"Its making the consignor and the buyer happy," Schiftar said. "You have to get enough money for the
consignor, but the buyer still has to get a good deal."
Many of Schiftar's consignors had tried other shops
and been turned down. Schiftar took their items and
managed to sell them. That's a product of the
Schiftars' insistence on customer service.
"A lot of shops they don't say hello, there's no goodbye, no thank you," she said. "We try to greet every
person. Then, the consignor is happy because we sold
their item, and the buyer is happy he got a good deaf*

The approach has caused
some confusion when Hall sent
copies of the self-published

BY HUGH GALLAGHER

When John Hall decided he
wanted to break awayfromhis
usual writing chores as an editor for The Air Conditioning,
Heating S* Refrigeration News,
he chose an unusual approach.
In the short novel, Hall tells
the story of the couple's
"I thought of an emotional
subject, which is usually a good courtship and marriage in their
30s. They have a strong bond
starting point for a story," he
The emotional subject was
the death of his wife, Janetj
who is still very much alive.
"It became a double-edged
tiling," Hall said. "I started to
write a book, but I also started
to do a little self-analysis. My
wife, I consulted her throughout the project. If she didn't
like what I was doing, I wouldn't have done i t "
Angels Working Overtime is
a sentimental ghost story that
deals with the trauma of losing
a wife and mother. The twist is
that Hall of Livonia tells the
story in the first person, using
the names, and photos, of his
wife, Janet, daughter*
McKenna, now 8, and son
Ryan, now 10.
"As I was going along it was
more realistic if I used our
names, it was almost autobiography. Every other name I use
except the family is fictitious,"
with each other and with their
two children, whose activities
become the center of i
life. Son Ryan is an avid;
lete. Daughter McKenna is a
talented young dancer.
The book is structured
around McKenna's special
dance number, Angels Working
Overtime, in which she is featured as the smallest angel. The
dance music, and title of the
book, is taken from Deanna
Carter's popular country song.

Desperate women and children
flee the abuse in the middle of

BlueHealthConnection® gives Blues' members a wealth of resources, including
access to professional nurses who can offer advice, tips—and hope. 99
When a health condition suddenly changes your life, sometimes it's hard to know just where
to turn or what to do. That's why we introduced BlueHealthConnection—our personalized
health management program that offers members a variety of ways to help them take charge
of their health care. It gives Blues' members the resources they need to navigate through
health problems and lead better lives.
My friend Charlie was having so much trouble with his diabetes, he wasn't able to get
his regular walks in. One thing led to another, and Charlie's health got worse and worse.
But as a member of the Blue Cross Blue Shield family, Charlie learned about
%
BlueHealthConnection. Charlie got a call from a nurse named Hope. True
her name, she taught Charlie how to take better care of himself. The Blues
gave Charlie hope—and Hope gave Charlie some health tips, so he could
stay at work, keep off the operating table and start walking again.
Isn't it great to know that we have a company here in Michigan
that can save us money while they're helping others save lives!

"We found four primary hazards," said
Owens. "Choking is No. l causing the
most injuries and deaths. There are a lot
of toys with small parts that children
could choke on."
Owens pulls out the Fisher-Price Pony
Parade for 5 to 6 year olds.
"If a younger child gets a hold ofthe
carrot that comes with the pony, they
could choke on it. It should have a warning label," said Owens. "A 1-3/4 inch ball
can completely seal off a child's throat.
There's a toilet paper roll guide we tell
PIRGIM field director Megan Owens released the consumer group's annual toy safety report during a press conference with Beaumont Hospital emergency room physician Frank McGeorge.
parents to use. If it fits inside the toilet '
paper roll, a child can choke on it."
Loud toys present another danger.
Last month, the American Society for
Testing and Materials came up with newstandards for toys to protect children's
"It should create noise no louder than
9 0 decibels when held at 25 centimeters,
about a child's arm length," said Owens.
"A Hello Kitty cell phone was 102 decibels. Some toys you'd expect to be noisy
like a Battle Blaster gun, which at 25
centimeters was 94 decibels.
"It's common sense. If it's next to your
ear and seems too loud, it is too loud for
a child."
Common sense seems to be key to
buying safely. The survey contains pictures of hazardous toys along with an
explanation of the problem. Yo-Yo Water
Bails, banned in several countries,
bounce back very easily and have the
potential to wrap tightly around chil- •
dren's necks and restrict circulation as
well as cause injuries to eyes, faces and
TOXIC TOYS
The Fisher-Price Pony Parade (center) is among the toys on PIRGIM's unsafe list this holiday season.
According to Owens some of the most
shocking findings in the report were •
toxic hazards in toys. Owens pulls a little
yellow rubber ducky from a shopping
bag.
"It's 67 percent phthalates by weight,"
she said. "Phthalates make toys soft and
chewy. They're used in everything from
teethers to books. With phthalates
linked to disease, we don't want children
chewing on them. Look for labels that
say PVC free.
"The majority of manufacturers are
making safety a priority but there are .
still some dangerous toys out there. One
death is too many because these deaths
are preventable."
Dr. Jodi Galdes knows first hand that
toys don't always bring joy to children
during the holidays. A doctor in the
emergency center at St. Mary Mercy
Hospital in Livonia, she's seen frantic L
parents who bring in little ones choking on small parts.
^
"Anything with small parts can harm a'
young child," said Dr. Galdes who grew
up in Redford. "If a child inhales a toy, •
puts it up their nose, we have to remove
them. Kids less than 3 try to pull apart ; !
things. They explore the world with their'
mouth. These are accidents where parr
ents are right there. Children pick up
things so quickly. It seems as soon as you '
;
come near them the instinct is to put
whatever it is in their mouths."
Older siblings should make sure toys
are put away so younger children don't |
get into them. The same for marbles.
;
Hazards seem to lurk everywhere.
Crib toys with cords have strangled chil- i
dren. Older kids can sustain injuries
!
from anything on wheels including
!
skateboards and Rollerblades.
;
Even with the safest toys, there's no
I
substitute for an alert parent Be cau'
tious. Make sure to reduce the risks and S
keep an eye on children and how they're "
using toys.

.
"Without helmets or wrist protection,
they risk fractures and head injuries. We *
see these children all year round so it
J
isn't just the holidays. Medication is one *•
thing though that concerns us during
2
this time of year. Grandparents leave
J
medication in their purses and the chil- t

Many homeowners around
the country may be the victims
of sticker shock when they
open their heating bills this
winter.
In fact, the U.S. Energy
Information Administration is
predicting that heating bills this
year are likely to be much higher
than last year due to projected
increases in natural gas prices, i
With the majority of homes in
North America using natural
i as the primary source of
, the reality of the high cost
of heating may burn a hole m
many homeowners' pockets.
• "However, homeowners may
be surprised to learn that mak-;
ing a few simple energy-saving
home improvements can help
trim energy expenses - allowing
them to spend their money elsewhere," said Tim Grether,
Technical Services Manager at
Owens Corning.
On the heels of an expensive
winter heating seasontestyear,
it's importantforhomeowners to
understand how to keep these
costsfromeating into their wallets. According to the U.S.
Department of Energy, checking
a home's insulating system is one
of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to help save energy and,
therefore, reduce energy costs.
R-VALUE
Understanding the R-value of
the insulation is very'important
R-value referstoinsulation's
resistance to heatflow.The higher the insulation's R-value, the
One of the best ways to lower energy bills and keep homes warmer is to make sure there's enough Insulation in the attic.
The thicker the insulation is in the attic, the less likely it is that heat will be able to escape through the top of the home.
greater its insulating power. Tiny
air pockets trapped in the insulatheat - heat gain in the warm
summer months, and heat loss in
the colderfelland winter seasons.
R-value recommendations
vary by location. Homeowners
can look into the recommended
R-values for their geographic
area and make sure that their
home's insulating system meets
the standards by visiting
www.owenscoraing.com.
Not only does insulation help
keep the house warm by reducing the escape of interior heat,
it also helps slow the process of
summer heat entering the
home, which helps keep the
inside cool and lessens the need
for continuous air-conditioning.
"One of the best ways to keep
heated or cooled air from escaping the home is by making sure
it is properly insulated," said
John Pagano, Vice President
and General Manager of
Residential Insulation at Owens
Corning. "A properly insulated
and weatherized home can
lower heating and cooling bills
by as much as 30 percent. Over
the lifetime of a home, that
money can mean substantial
savings for the homeowner."
TAKE ACTION
Adding insulation is just one
way to significantly reduce
heating bills. There are also
do to keep their utility bills

thermostat - A programmable thermostat can automatically •
lower and raise a home's air *
temperature when homeowners
are at work or sleeping. If used
appropriately, the energy savings can help offset the costs for

• Plug drafts - The exterior of
the house is thefirstline of
•;
defense against drafts - so caulking, sealing and weather-stripping around all seams, cracks f
and openings is important. Pay
special attention around win- :
dows and where siding or bricks
and wood trim meet
Homeowners can also reduce
drafts from the inside by sealing
areas near electrical boxes and
plumbing penetrations.
"Air that escapes through ceilings, walls and floors can
account for over 10 percent of
your energy bill, so making sure
that the drafts are plugged and
the insulation is adequate is
essential to keeping your home
comfortable and your money in
your wallet," said Grether.

Shopping different brands and models, comparing prices and
options and negotiating your best deal are cardinal rules to follow when
buying a car. It's all'about shopping smart and spending wisely. The
same is true when leasing a vehicle, and with Christmas approaching,
this is a good time of year to do it for a loved one - or yourself.
You probably know a lot about leasing if any of your friends, coworkers or family have taken the plunge and raved about the advantages, But do you know what happens at the end of the lease? Did you
know you could actually owe the company more than what the car is
worth at the end of the lease? Leasing will be a positive experience if
you know the rules.
There are several lease-end options to choose from, depending on
the leasing company you choose. The safest choices, of course, are the
lease companies connected to the major.
The first option is to return your leased vehicle and then just lease
another new vehicle. If you've met all the obligations of your lease at its
end - which include any charges for excess mileage and wear and tear
- and you want a new vehicle to drive, just return it to the leasing dealership, That's all there is to it. End of story. •
Within minutes of chosing the next vehicle you want to drive, you
can start the paperwork on another lease. Another lease can be perfect,
expeciaUy if the vehicle's actual value is lower than your purchase
option amount.
The second option is to buy the vehicle you've leased and keep i t In
this case, your lease agreement must have a clause allowing a "purchase
option" - and most do. So if you really like your vehicle, it's still a good
value against your purchase option price, you can buy your leased vehicle and keep i t Many people purchase that vehicle as a second vehicle
for the family or their children because they have personal knowledge
of the vehicle's background Hid want a reliable car.
Some people will find at the end of the lease that their car is worth
more than the purchase option amount In that case, you could purchase the car for the purchase option price, sell the car and then pocket the profit
We've all known someone this has happened to: A person finances a
vehicle, then decides to sell or trade it in before the end of the finance
contract - and then finds out he owes more on the loan than the car is
worth. What's happened here is that the loan interest and depreciation
of the vehicle have accelerated beyond what you owe.
With a lease, you don't have to worry about owing more on the vehicle than what it's worth at the end of the lease. The lease company
determines what your vehicle will be worth at the start of the lease.
So if it's worth less than the purchase option price, your best bet is to
just turn it in to the leasing dealer and walk away from the car. You're

very pleasant experience - one you're likely to repeat for decades to
come. Thousands of Americans do.
Then there's the issue of what advantages leasing can bring. Many
automakers and their dealers are offering inviting lease options on the
cars and trucks they sell.
Leasing is ad attractive alternative to buying or renting a vehicle,
especially for business owners who can deduct most of the expenses on
their tax returns.
But is leasing a viable option for the average car owner? It sometimes can be, especially if you're counting pennies. It redly all depends
on how much you can afford to spend.
If you have a monthly income that allows you to make regular payments and don't want to put any money down on a car, leasing is a good
Leasing also is especially attractive if:
1 You only need a car for a limited amount of time.
5 You generally purchase a new car eveiy three or four years.
1 like to know your monthly car costs in advance during those three
or four years.
• Feel you will obtain a good return on the money that you would likely use for a down payment
id hagWant the general relief 1from the hassles of shopping
Irine it
gling over the price of a vehicle, insuring it, maintaining i t repairing
and eventually selling it
Leasing a car means the lessor will retain full ownership to the vehicle. Your monthly payments allow you only to use the car; you build no.
You will pay a specific payment every month, with the first and last
payment due on the day you pick up the car. That first payment usually includes license and registration fees, along with a security deposit
Wore and more people prefer leasing a vehicle, rath>
j i buying
one,today.But that may not mean there's a cost savings in the long run.
In some cases, leasing could cost you more than owning a car.
If you decide to lease, you need to have a good credit rating, an average income, a steady job and good driving record.
There are several advantages to leasing, including:
9 The down payment on a leased vehicle is generally much lower than
if you purchase a car.
• The monthly payment is usually significantly lower than when you
finance a vehicle.
1 The lessor is generally responsible for all registration, inspection,
paperwork, arrangement of insurance and most maintenance and
repairs on the vehicle.
• You won't have to pay the sales tax on the vehicle you lease.
The wisest thing to do is sit down and analyze and compare the total
cost of purchasing a car against the total costs, of leasing, taking into
account the difference in monthly payment costs.
There are differenttypesof leases. It pays to shop around for the best
program, just as it pays to shop for the best financial arrangement
Make sure the company is reputable. Try to talk to people who have
leased a vehicle from that company. Ask if the company has been good
with delivery and promises made. Call your local Better Business
Bureau and ask for a reliability report on the company.
If it is allowed, negotiate the lease terms. Because the monthly payment is determined by the resale value of the car at the end of the lease,
you may be able to get a lower payment if the car has a low depreciation
rate. But that also means you've got to have that car in excellent condition when you return i t
Finally, read the contract from top to bottom, and if possible, have a
legal expert take a look at it. Sometimes the fine print will include a
clause you can't live with later.
Don't be afraid to ask questions, especially these:
• How much will my monthly payments total at the term of the lease?
• Will I be penalized if I go over the mileage limit? Will there be a
credit if I'm under the limit?
1 Am I responsible for any maintenance costs to the vehicle? Which
ones?
1 What is the exact criteria used on "normal wear and tear" on the
vehicle I'm leasing?
• If I am forced to break the lease, what are the penalties?
9 Do I have any choices at the end of the lease, like purchase of the
vehicle? .
B Can I choose my own insurance company for coverage on the vehicle?
Leasing a vehicle can often mean you can get a much more expensive
car to drive on what it would cost you if you financed a less-expensive
car.
Again, shop carefully for your lease. It could save you money. Or it
could cost
cos you more. So be careful.
