About 60 years ago, six small
factories lined the middle branch

Wayne County; m a k i n g everything from valves to drill bits.
One of those Ford Motor Co.

housed a screw machine shop,
t h e n after 1937, a stencil and
engraving facility.
Wayne County parks officials
are looking for people who once

small factories along the Rouge

brand new efficient building. The project in the TIFA district to allcrw the city to
construct and equip the building debtcould be funded through the sale of

bonds.
In order for strip malls and small shop
ping centers to be successful, the developer, the local business person and the
city must all realize a fair return on their
investment. We cannot dhange the past
but have the ability to steer the future.
Sites and malls could be modified to fit
our city's needs and attract new businesses to complement our city's future
growth. I would like to see additional private bealltxare facilities.
The fact that I'm not a teacher or an
expert on city government, it would be
very difficult for me to assign a tetter
grade on how the city is being run. As a
citizen, however, I am qualified to issue
a pass or fail grade. In the north end the
city was very proactive in handling the
flood issues and in the south end very
committed to the building of the police
and fire wihi-station.
As a city council member, my top priority would be to build a new City Hall to
allow Westland and Us residents to
move forward with the necessary
resources for the next century.
Secondly; I would like to see a new rec
building. Today s families and kids need
positive places and activities to spend
their free time. Finally, I would like more
involvement and accountability with the
beautification and maintenance of our
business district.
I favor providing our citizens with dramatically improved recreational facilities
provided they can be constructed and
operated without increasing taxes ...
TIFA affords Westland an excellent ..opportunity, to partner with other taxing
jurisdictions (to build and open a facility)
with no increase in taxes, (much like the
library)..Though such a facility would be
larger than the current Bailey Center,
souare foot-wise it would be much
cheaper to maintain so the costs to
operate would be very close to equaling
out... Modern facilities offering an array
of activities actually create revenue.
Quite frankly, the exceptional economy
helped to create those vacancies. The
trend in commercial development today
is in consolidated spaces. Examples of
this can be seen.in the way Standard Oil
& McDonald's and Church's Chicken &
White Castle got together, the same
idea exists in retail business, as is the
case with the Best Buy move. These
consolidations mean smaller retail
spaces become less marketable. We
need to continue to promote this type of
development so older malls can be torn
down to make way for modern, more
marketable facilities.
I think Westland deserves a 8+. Our citizens have always been very active and
aware ... This has gone a long way
toward creating a city government .that
is responsive-to the people and I think is
part of the reason our city enjoys the
success it does, I think our mayor has
proven he has the best interest of the
community at heart, and he isn't afraid
to be bold and discuss new ways to
ser\e citizens. He has assembled a team
of very capable administrators. There is
more work to be done, but by continuing
to work together and cooperating, we
can keep-making it better in Westland.
1) To keep my pledge not to vote for, or
support in any way, an increase 'in tates
to our residents.
2) To identityan acceptable solution to
the problems of limited, space and environmental concerns associated with our
current City Hall.
3) To work toward the creation of a
state-of-the-art recreational facility and
outdoor water park that sustains itself
by generating revenues in the same way
privately owned facilities do.
( wholeheartedly support the building of
a new City Hall. The present City Hall
has deteriorated to the point that Financially it would be more costly to keep
repairing the old hall instead of building
a new hall. I would be in favor of the new
City Hall to be built on a TIFA site even
though that would mean moving from
the present Site. The area by the newlibrary is beautiful and would make a
great setting for a city building. I would
be supportive of trying to reach an
agreement with the present owners to
purchase that land.
I am also in favor of building a new
recreation/community center. The
Bailey Center has sened the residents
of Westland for a number of years and
has lived out its usefulness. A city rec
center should be a more modern facility
with upto-date equipment and be accessible to more individuals^ I would be in
favor of tearing down the Bailey Center
and building a new one on the same site,
and since it would be much larger it
would possibly extend over onto the old
Westland needs to become more 'small
business' friendly. We tend to cater to
the larger business. I would like to see
the city work with the property wners
and chamber of commerce to develop
programs to market to the small business such as a reduced leasing agreement in turn for moving into one of the
vacant sites.
B. The present city administration is
doing an adequate job but there is
always room for improvement. More
atteniion needs to be paid to what is
good for the city and its residents as
opposed to how politically correct the
decision or issue would be.
First priority would be to make a decision on the City Hall/Bailey Center
issue. Enough time and discussion have
been spent on the issue. Secondly, to
identify and resurface problem city
streets and, thirdly, to continue to maintain fiscal prudence and positive city
relations with the community.
•
I do support building a new City Hall.
The current building Is undersized and in
such poor structural and mechanical
condition that a new City Hall is necessary. I believe that keeping City Hall on
the existing site makes the most sense.
I know using TIFA funds would be easier
financially, but our 'campus-like' City
complex with City Hall, the Bailey
Center, police, fire, court and park needs
to remain as the focal point of our city
government.
As much as I'd love to see a new recreation center, t think a renovation and
expansion of Bailey Ceriter makes more
sense. The property that has been discussed in the TIFA district is overpriced.
Taking valuable real estate property that
could generate income from taxes if
developed doesn't make sense when we
already own enough property. The proposed site was originally promised to be
residential when both the Kroger and
library sites were approved.
The new. ODA was established to-help
improve the look along the Ford Road
and Wayne Road area. Other commercial
areas of the city can also use a facelift
or cleanup. We need to do more to work
with and encourage small business owners to improve and utilize existing
space. Westland residents own many of
the businesses in the stnptype shopping
centers. Many feel the current Sign ordinance has hurt their business.
O . City administration, department
heads and staff need to have a good
working relationship with the council.
Council's duty is to ensure that the
health, safely and welfare of the citizens
are looked out for. Council provides the
same check and balance system with
the administration that Congress provides to the executive branch of government. A councilperson needs to be the •
citizen's voice in city government.
Fiscal responsibility - the city needs to
look beyond current budget and develop
a rolling long-term financial plan.
Public safety - the new fire station is a
muchneeded addition to provide our citizens with proper response. Our existing
fire stations also need maintenance and
improvementsCommunication - the city needs to find
new ways to effectively communicate
with the citizens such as a Westland
Web site, e-mail and a regularly scheduled cable call-in shcrw.

I support building a new City Hall
because the current building has flaws
which are a detriment to our employees'
health. Further, City Hal! Is too small for
the current needsof Our city.
'.
We should construct a new City Hall on
the site of the current building only if we
can pay for it through current tax dollars. 1 am opposed to a tax increase to
, build a new City Hall and would look at
Other alternatives if the construction of
a new City Hall requires a tax increase.
I favor building anew recreation center
with TIFA dollars. It makessense to use
other taxing units'money to build our
recreation center. We would then own it
free and clear as we did with the
Westland library. The new recreation .
center should be built in the TIFA district next to the new library.
The following have recently be'en redeveloped in the downtown district: Hand/
Andy - Best Buy will be moving in; PharMor ~ JoAnn Fabrics will be moving in;
Source Club- iovve's will be moving in.
We need to keep our downtown viable by
maintaining infrastructure which will
attract new.consumers. We need to
widen Warren Road to four lanes into
Canton to increase access. We need to
maintain aesthetics in the district and
continue to use TIFA funds to maintain
Central City Parkway and other areas in
the district as it becomes necessity.
I believe the city is well-run. We have
maintained a balanced budget with a
million-dollar general fund equity, while
delivering good city services. This is the
mark of a well run city and it is what the
city charter calls for from our local public officials. I will let the citizens give
their letter grade for our performance in
office through the electoral process.
My top three priorities are as follows:
Maintain a balanced city budget with a
reasonable general fund equity while
holding the line on taxes.
Maintain current city services at their
present level, based on the city's economic growth.
Initiate and pass a rental inspection ordinance.

explained.
"We believe t h a t , clearly, to
vote in the Democratic primary
you should be a Democrat and to
vote in the Republican primary
you should be a Republican," he
said.
Currently, presidential primary elections are "open," meaning
voters c a n cast ballots for any
party's nominee. Republicans
have opted to participate in t h e
open p r i m a r y . Democrats l a s t
participated in the presidential
p r i m a r y in 1992, when v o t e r s ,
were required to declare a party
preference before entering t h e
polls. But the elimination of that
r e q u i r e m e n t a l s o led t h e
Democrats to drop out and hold
their own caucuses.
It also means that the Republican primary is paid for by state
government funds, while t h e
Democratic party's caucus has to
be paid for by t h e party itself.
Brewer said the cost of operating
the caucuses varies from election
to election, so he is still working
up t h e e s t i m a t e s of the cost of
next year's vote.

Do parents
really matter?
S
tuart and Emily thought they
were good parents. They taught
their two-children the Golden
Rule along with values of generosity,
kindness, compassion, forgiveness,
responsibility and more. There was
good news and bad news at the end of
their parenting years as they looked
at their two "products."
Son Peter.became a lawyer and a
fine altruistic citizen, but their .
daughter turned out to be a rather
delinquent adult \vho stole from others to get drug money, lied regularly
and had was mean-spirited.
Crestfallen, Stuart and Emily
couldn't understand what they had
done wrong.
In her new book, 'The Nurture
Assumption,'" Judith Harris poses the
question, "If you encourage good
liabits in your child, will that ensure
that your child will grow up with the
same good hahits you hare?'
Harris thinks not. She theorizes
that children are more influenced by
their peers than by their parents.
Harris would suggest that these
parents were not responsible for the
way their daughter turned out
because the girl's peers had more
power over her than they did.
Well, as you would guess, tjbis

have done with hundreds of pre-adolescents and teens. Parents often

My neighbors have exquisite flowers. Their impati'ciis bubble 'over.the/

around the bushes. My flowers, on the
other hand, look as though they were
planted yesterday. You don't have to
be brilliant to know t h a t mine lacked
water and fertilizer.
I admit it. I didn't take care of them
consistently week after week and I
am now paying the price.; As I stood

sessions address the legal, financial and emotional concerns that
arise during the divorce process.

law firm of Woll and Woll will
present an overview of the process of filing for divorce and
what to expect. The firm special-.
izes in women's.and children's
cases. . ' ' • ' • , . ' . "
On Nov. 9, Stacey Block will

God as much as I do," said Trent,m
one of about 75 young people
who attended a recent youth service at Impact. "And it's cool to
socialize with people."
Transforming a house which
once held the YMCA, Paletta is
making his d r e a m a reality.
With free video games (violencefree, of course), billiards and live
music, Impact Student Union is
beginning to establish its roots.
Impact Youth Group; the ministry for high school students for which the center is named focuses on giving youth a deeper
understanding of their relationship with God, Paletta said.
Beginning in October', t h e
Junior High- Only (JHO) youth
m i n i s t r y will, meet Sunday
evenings at Impact for more
activity-oriented sessions.
The IiOft, a college ministry for
ages, 18 to 25, will meet Wednesday evenings. The format is a
coffeehouse setting and includes
poetry readings and a forum for
religious discussion.
But activities are not confined
to the Impaet house. Paletta
schedules canoe trips, games of
laser tag and paint ball, and visits to Cedar Point for interested
youth. Anyone can join.
"One of the main goals is to
reach out into the community,"
he said.
Paletta hopes to have extended
hours for Impact Student Union .
eaa
in the future. He said it will be
open with special activities
planned .oh a few weekend
nights each month.
Bree March, 19, is one of the
youth leaders involved with
Impact who has high hopes for
the organization's success.
"It's very cool," said March.
"There are so may kids who walk
by ... I want to see it open on the
weekends. I want to hear kids
say 'I'm going to the Student
Union.'
"Parents will know it's a safe
place for students to come."
Aaron Morgan, an 18-year-old
Plymouth resident, said he
would like to see more sportsrelated events organized through
Impact in the future.
"I think one way really to connect to teenagers is through
sports," he said, suggesting a
communityrwide softball or flagfootball league.
March said by. being in a separate location.from the church.
Impact is bound to draw more
attention.
"I think coming up to t h e
church for teenagers is kind of
intimidating," she said. "Here
there are things they like."
Jill Manos, 15 of Garden City,
said she hangs out at Impact
because her friends are there.
"It's our own place," she said.

pool party for 80 some fifth

night I went to be at 8 o'clock."
Like Dubois, Basile was no

who had kept in touch over the
years, she asked Basile for a

new business. And when she
heard about t h e specialized

said Johnson. "I had some Ann

NOTICE TO BIDDERS

trips for out-of-town guests?
"I Can DoThatl"can do it.
The idea has been "rolling
around" in Basile's head for two
years. Encouraged by friends
and her boyfriend, she set up the
framework for her business
before quitting her sales job at
Mobile Ed Productions in Redford.
"A lot of people a r e single,
divorced or two-career families
and run out of time to do things,"
she said. "Some people try to do
things during their lunch hour,
others hate doing things on Saturday. That's their rest time and
they h a t e haying to dp those
nasty chores then.
"It's like I have 30 minutes for
a haircut, period."
Since starting her business,
Basile h a s handled Dubois's
party, cleaned Johnson's kitchen,
did specialized grocery shopping
for a single man whose parents
were visiting from England and
took them on some day trips. .
She's helping a bride plan her
wedding and just got a call from
someone needing transportation
to and from the University of.
Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor.
"I really, really like it," she
said. "In every job I've had, I've
dealt with people. I enjoy working with people and meeting different people."
Calls are trickling in and
Basile thinks it's "neat" because
people ask her if she "can do this
or do t h a t . " She generally
responds with her pat "I can do
that" reply. Her literature points
out t h a t "If it's not illegal,
immoral or unethical, 'I Can Do
That!'can do that."

The members of Faith Lutheran Church in Livonia are looking
forward to the installation of the
Rev. Robert D. Carr as pastor.
The Rev. Robert A. Rimbo,
bishop of the Southeast Michigan Synod of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America,
will be preside at the 10:45 aim.
worship service and at a rite of
installation Sunday, Sept. 19,
at the church, 30000 Five Mile
Road, Livonia,
Carr, who served as associate
pastor and cantor (pastoral
musician) at the University
Lutheran Church and Campus
Center in Gainesville, Fla.,
began his work at Faith Lutheran on July 12.
A minister for 21 years, he is a
graduate of Concordia Senior
College in Ft. Wayne, Ind., and
has a master of divinity degree
from Christ Seminary-Seminex
in St. Louis, Mo.
A gifted preacher who is not
afraid of "tackling the thorny
issues" in his preaching, he
brings an extensive experience
and knowledge in the area of
church music. He is an accomplished organist, choral director
and composer.
Carr also brings an -extensive

daughters Aimee and Amanda.
background in ecumenical work
to Faith Lutheran, a parish of
the ELCA. He was a participant
in the Lutheran-Anglican-
Roman Catholic Dialogue, sponsored jointly by the FloridaBahamas Synod (Lutheran), the
Diocese of Florida (Anglican) and
the Diocese of St. Augustine
(Roman Catholic).
He alsq was involved in the
planning for the LARC Dialogue's annual Pre-Lenten Ecumenical Day of Prayer.
Of the challenges before him
as pastor of Faith Lutheran,
Carr said he "is.aware that Faith
Church has an identity born of
its rich history under the leadership " of his predecessors.
Two significant traits of that
identity are that members, as an
outgrowth of their gathering
around the Word and Sacrament, have lived a credible -witness in Christian service to their
respective communities.
Together, as pastor and people of the parish, we can fashion
vital ministries for the 21st cen?
tury built on the firm foundations which have been placed,"
he said.
Married, Carr and his wife
Alexis have two children, Aimee,
10, and Amanda, 8.

The
Observer
& Eccentric/
Lady Ocelots eye reversal
Six players from Schoolcraft College's 1998 volleyball team, including three of the best, are gone.
But when you're talking about a team that posted
a 12-27 overall record, that news isn't exactly all
bad,
However, replacing Megan McGinty (from Livon i a Churchill), who is now playing at Lincoln
Memorial University (Harrogate.Tenn.); Donna
Logsdon, who's at University of Michigan-Dearborn; and Melissa Plave won't be easy.
B u t SC coach Tom Teeters believes he has all
t h e proper pieces; p u t t i n g them in their proper
p l a c e s will be t h e key in t u r n i n g t h a t record
around.
"We d o n ' t h a v e a n easy s c h e d u l e , " T e e t e r s
explained, "and I don't plan on changing it, What
we want to do is improve our record and our standing in the league,"
Simple enough goals. Realizing them may not be
so simple.
Teeters does have the tools for this reconstruction job, starting with an expanded coaching staff.
Alisha Love, who played for Teeters and coached at
Livonia Clarenceville, joins longtime a s s i s t a n t
Dale Hartzell. Also on the staff is J i m Maloof.
Three players who filled key positions on last
season's team return: Danielle Wensing, Jennifer
Laidlaw and Cindy Maloof. Wensing, who was the
Lady Ocelots' primary setter, will move to outside
hitter and back-row setter.
Laidlaw, who s h a r e d the s e t t i n g d u t i e s w i t h
Wensing last season, will do more of it this year.
Maloof r e m a i n s a middle blocker a n d p r i m a r y
passer.
•
The seven recruits signed by Teeters make this
t e a m promising. It s t a r t s with A m a n d a Yaklin
(Walled Lake Central), a 5-foot-5 setter/defensive
specialist who is a "great hustler, and-she has a
great serve." Her play for the Vikings last winter
was a major factor in their two victories over Plymouth Salem, a team Teeters also coaches.
Rebekah Thornton (Livonia Ladywood) is a 5-8
left-hander who is capable of "doing a bit of everyt h i n g — s e t t i n g , p a s s i n g , h i t t i n g and m i d d l e
block." Teeters plans on using her as a primary
passer and right-side hitter.
L a u r e n R u p r e c h t (Livonia C h u r c h i l l ) , who
stands 6-foot, adds size up front, something the
Ocelots lacked last season. A middle h i t t e r ,
Teeters said Ruprecht "always played hard" and
that she "runs good quicks in the middle."
Kristina Chavez (Farmington Harrison) didn't
play her final year in high school, but did play for
Teeters' SOVA squad. A left-side attacker, primary
passer and setter, the 5-4 Chavez h a s great arm
speed w h i c h should help make her an effective
back-row hitter.
The 5-10 Nicole Boyd (Livonia Franklin) joins
Ruprecht and Maloof in strengthening SC's blocking. "She could start for us on the left side, but she
could also play in the middle and on theright,too,"
Teeters said. g She can play anywhere on the front
row."
Toni Forynski (Dearborn Heights Crestwood) is
in her second year at SC but her first playing volleyball. She serves as the junior varsity coach at
Crestwood, where she played under varsity coach
John Groves. A 5-9 middle blocker/right-side hitter, Forynski has great athletic ability.
Allison Luczak (Southfield Franklin Road Christian) lacks overall playing experience b u t h a s
shown considerable improvement. At 5-9, she'll be
utilized as a right-side hitter and in blocking.
Defense at t h e net isn't t h e only concern for
Teeters. ttWe have to improve our ball control, particularly passing and setting," he said. "Those1 first
two touches are keys for us. •
"I think our attack has a lot of potential, b u t you
have to get them the ball. If you can pass, you can
pound."
Better serving is also on the agenda. "That will
be a major factor for us," Teeters said.

stant, the prediction race will
not change.
Yours truly finished strong
last year, correctly picking 27 of
the final 28 games to beat the
downtrodden Irishman, better
known as Dan O'Meara (no relation to the golfer Mark; that's for
sure).
The final totals for 1998 if you
hadn't forgotten — Emons, 10327; O'Meara, 100-30.
What's in store for Week No. 1
of 1999?
Let's give it a go and roll the

Detroit East Catholic 40-12 a year ago.
PICKS: Borgess wins the opener.

(9-1), 7 p.m. at Kraft Field: The Panthers
were bigger, faster and stronger than nine
of their 10 opponents a year ago. reaching the playoffs for the first time ever.
Several key.players were lost, but senior
Mike Macek (6-1. 214), who rushed for
1.389'yards, and new quarterback Dave
8rown could give Churchitl more
headaches. The Chargers will put 31
seniors on the field, led by lineman Mike
Gaura (6-3, 326) and QB John Bennett.
PICKS: Macek gives RU the edge.
Uncoln Park (4-5) at Uv. Franklin (1-8),
7 p.m.: The Railsplifters downed the
Patriots 190 in' last year's opener, but
this coutd be a more even matchup.
Franklin quarterback Joe Ruggiero can
put zip on the ball, the key question is
whether he'll get enough protection.
PICKS: Lincoln Park squeezes out a win,

The Zebras started out hot in 1998, winning four of their first five before dropping
their final four. .It will be a young Wayne
team for sure. So it's good that Romulus,
a Class A regional finalist a year ago,
graduated All-State running back Freddie
Russell. PICKS: Romulus grounds the
Zehras.
D.H. Crestwood (0-9) at Garden City (27), 7 p.m.: The Cougars clobbered winless
Crestwood in last year's season opener,

will give GC a more diversified attack.
The primary runner is tailback Josh Fee,
PICKS: The Cougars Start out 1999 feel

Red. Thurston (S4) at WKlow Run (27), 7 p.m.: The Eagles do not have Scott
Genord (Indiana) to carry the load and
they don't have a home field this season
either. The Class B Flyers have only 18
players, but they have a.good one in tailback Josh Allison (6 1, 185). The Eagles

which could benefit SG.
Last year t h e Ocelots were in a' district
in St. I<ouis w i t h three other nationallyranked t e a m s . Only one could qualify for

Teams from Iowa, Oklahoma^ Wisconsin,
Indiana, Minnesota, northern Illinois and
Ohio will compete in it.
. "We're really pointing toward w i n n i n g

won't be so concerned."
The early-season concerns include home

At the inaugural Montreux Detroit Jazz Festival in 1979 —
a transitory time from disco to punk and new wave — the concern among organizers wasn't just whether there was widespread appeal for jazz, but if people would cross Eight Mile
Road, and find their way to the Detroit riverfront.

and listened to legendary jazz artists such as Miles Davis, Ella

Sense of place
"Our mission was to create a great cultural event for the
city," said Dulzo.
'
"We've been a r o u n d for a generation," he said. "That
means there are now people who are bringing their kids,
and we're increasing the number of people being reached
by the music and t h e message."
The message, according to Dulzo, is not only.about coming together across racial, ethnic and class boundaries.
It's about celebrating the uniqueness of what he refers
to'as the "Detroit attitude."
Among the notable performers with Detroit roots
and "attitude" are: , . . •
• Yusef Lateef& Eternal Wind '
The Elvin Jones (who played drums for John
Coltrane) Jazz Machine
• The Charles McPherson Quartet
• The Tommy Flanagan Trio
• The Bob James Quartet with Alexander Zonjic
• The Kenny Garrett Quartet.
A special tribute to Marcus Belgrave will also
feature Garret, Geri Allen and Bob Hurst.
Perhaps more than any other musical style,
jazz creates a sense of place and mood. In a
town whereby home-grown music is usually
associated with either the legendary Motown
sound or rock,-a question begs to be asked:
. "Is there a particular Detroit sound?"
"It's hot necessarily a sound, but an attitude;'said Dulzo.
^Detroit musicians play h a r d , t h a t ' s
their reputation."
Perhaps the greatest legacy of Montreux, said
Dulzo, is that people ho longer think twice about crossing Eight Mile Road and heading to the riverfront.
.
"We've found a way to bring" the community together and celebi ate our musical legacy./"

"We got involved with the festival through our association
with the Detroit Music Awards,"
he said. "After winning 'Outstanding Urban Artist' this year
we've received more attention
from t h e Detroit area,-which
we're very happy about. I think
that got the attention of the festival organizer who then set; it
up with our booking agent."
Moehle said the band does
make considerations when performing in a. festival environment.
"Generally, playing a festival
means playing a shorter set," he
said. "When we do this we tend
tb add more up-tempo tunes to
help get the crowd into what
we're doirig...We might even
throw a cover song into the set
so t h a t new people will have
. something they recognize."
Chances are Detroit-area clubhoppers will recognize more than
j u s t a cover song. Knee Deep
Shag performs regularly atjthe
Magic Bag in Ferndale and The
Alley in Rochester. This is the
band s first experience with Arts,
Beats and Eats.
"We were hot involved last
year although I heard a lot about
it," said Moehle. "We were very
glad when we were asked to do it
this year."
- A Pontiac native, Moehje said
the festival is just one example
q£ the change that's occurred in
Hie city over t h e p a s t eight
years.
, "I used to work a t Church's
Lumber right downtown when 1
was in high school and that area
was not nearly as nice as it is
now," he Said. "When I came back
to play shows in Pontiac after
moving tb Kalamazoo I was
floored by t h e d r a s t i c 180
(degree change). Now they have
art museums, coffee houses, nice
with kids
eirjoy in
Festival frompageEl
r e s t a u r a n t s , even Nick's looks
great. I think this festival is a
great opportunity to keep t h e
city moving in a positive direction."
Sheila Landis has also noticed
the boom in downtown Pontiac. A
jazz vocalist and Rochester Hills
resident, she's performed at several spots in the area, including
Bo's Brewery, Phoenix Plaza
Amphitheatre, and Gargoyles
Coffeehouse. At 4 p.m. Saturday,
Sept. 4, Landis will be performing on the Heineken Stage as
part of a, trio at Arts, Beats and
Eats. She couldn't be more excited.
"I love festivals," she said.
"They are really exciting. All
eyes are on you. You can really
do your best- There's a wonderful
vibe in the air"
Contributing to that vibe Landis, along with her guitarist Rick
Matle and drummer Jason "Bo
Bo" Gittinger, will appeal to a
festival crowd filled with people
of all ages. She described the
music as a combination of genres; from samba to swing, from
blues to improvisatiohal jazz set
to poetry.
"There's more variety in One
set," said Landis. "We'll t u r n
amazing corners. It keeps us all
interested. It keeps the audience
on their toes...We really like
keeping a wide repertory."
Like the other entertainers on
the extensive line-up this year,
Landis is hoping for favorable
weather and crowds of people.
She said she'd like to see similar
festivals in other cities.
"It brings people together and
it's good for the arts," said Landis. "I'm hoping a lot of people
come out and support the festival. We're certainly glad to be
part of it."

Marc Thomas has released
three children's albums, b u t
when kids see him around town,
they instantly remember him as
"that moose guy."
. :
Known best for his live ventriloquist performances s t a r r i n g
"Max the Moose," Thomas is one
of the performers who will provide family-style.entertainment
on the Kids' Stage at Arts, Beats
and Eats in Pontiac.
x
T h e key thing is the puppet,
Max the Moose," said Thomas, a
Farmington resident. "That's
how people know me. I play guitar and sing. It's a really interactive kids show."
Thomas will have little ones
joining him on stage, playing
instruments and participating
from their seats during the festival. He welcomes everyone to
sing along, and laugh along, with
Max. Thomas, who performed
last summer at the first-ever
Arts, Beats and Eats festival,
said he was amazed at how organized it was. He's ready for more
fun this year.
Another performer returning
to the festival stage, Donna
Novack, said she hopes the event
is as good this year, as it was last
year.
Novack, a Ypsilanti resident
and member of the ciuo Harpbeat, promised an interactive
experience for youngsters. Harpbeat, which also features Maria
Flurry, uses percussion and a
h a r p to create music from
around the world to teach audiences about foreign cultures. The
show in Pontiac will differ from
programs Harpbeat does in area
schools.
"In a festival environment, you
need to do more of a concert,"
said Novack. "Sometimes you
don't have the same audience for
the entire show."
Paula Kreuter,, owner of Performing Artists Management in
Troy, is responsible for organizing entertainers like Novack and
Thomas and all of t h e acts a t
Arts, Beats and E a t s . She
describes the performers as "gentle spirits," who are all dedicated
to children.
"What we're doing, we're making the time shorter but the
options greater," she said. "Last
year,
shows
were 45
minutesL.We've made the 6hows
30 minutes so (families) can
catch music, magic and juggling."
All the performers are from
Michigan, said Kreuter. She said
children and parents will recognize these acts from last year, as
well as from programs held within elementary schools around
Oakland County.
Kreuter is hoping to surpass
last year's phenomenal turnout.
The children's tent, located at
the Saginaw Street parking lot,
will hold 200 people at a time.
She describes the shows as "family entertainment for all ages."

he spends in this quest will jeopardize Crowe's marriage and

"The Sixth Sense" sounds like
a lot of movies you'ye either seen
or avoided, depending on your
t a s t e , like "The Exorcist,"
"Poltergeist," a n d "Carrie."
Again, we emphasize that while
things do go bump in the night,
this film is not about monsters.
It's about friendship. The friendship between the boy and his
doctor, between the boy and his
mom, between the boy and — yes
— the ghosts.
We should add out of fairness
that this isn't cutesy "Beetlejuice" or smart-alecky "Ghostbusters" either. You will jump out
of your seat more than once. And
you will bite your lip to avoid
spilling the wonderfully logical
but totally startling ending...as
we are doing now.
We can, though, talk freely and
gleefully about 11-year-old Haley
Joel Osment. You may have seen
him as the dying boy on "Ally
McBeal" or as Forrest Gump, Jr.
He is a wondrous revelation as
Cole. It's been written that his
audition reduced writer-director
M. Night Shymalan to tears, and
having seen the final product, we
can't just write that off as studio
hype.
As his mom, Australian Toni
Collette is every mom who has
tried to knock down the wall
between herself and her child
a
RON PRllilK.
Drama: Bruce Willis (right) stars as child psychologist
DrMalcolm Crowe, an emotionally shattered man
haunted by his past and the misdiagnosis of a child
suffering from visual hallucinations. When he meets
Cole (Haley Joel Osment, left) a young man with simi- •
lar symptoms, client and therapist are awakened to
something astonishing in "The Sixth Sense."
while straining to understand
why it exists at all.
And what about Bruce? Well,,
he whispers a lot. But a t the
same time, he conveys the kind
of genuine empathy and warmth
not seen since thtrtlad in "Leave
It to Beaver." Despite his rep as
an asteroid-bashing superhero,
we're hard-pressed to imagine
anyone else in this tender role.
Jon.Katz is a free-lance

I can still hear
the
jingling
s o u n d t h a t my
first s e t of car
k e y s m a d e as
my
mother
slipped
them
into my delicate
hands the day I
turned 16.

Despite the
A. CASOLA
v i r t u a l blizzard
brewing outside,
I couldn't wait to hop into the
d r i v e r ' s s e a t , pile my closest
friends inside and just take off to
places unknown — Freedom at
its purist.
But times have changed since
my p a r e n t s and even my older
sisters started to drive. The stor i e s I h e a r d a b o u t my s i s t e r
Michelle cruising around town in
h e r j e t black c l a s s i c '66 Ford
Mustang convertible sounded so
far from my own r e a l i t y . T h e
tame suburbs of Rochester Hills
weren't much of a place for cruising during my teenage years, but
for so many other metro Detroiters cruising defined a time in
their lives.
Songs for thproad
In Detroit — where the automobile is s o m e t h i n g sacred —
what would cruising be without
Highway One, w i t h o u t classic
'convertibles, and without the
radio cranked to 10?
A group, of local musicians recognized that connection
ated "Crmsinl-STnTg^From the.
•ity," a compilation of 14
classics t h a t m a y i n d u c e t h e
• 'It's unbelievable and It all sounds like Detroit/
.said Brian Pastoria. He considers Detroit to be a
'melting pot of a lot of different music: R & B,
blues, gospel, rock and pop' all with a blue collar
energy and a constant groove. Most of the artists
were people he knew who not only showed interest in the project, but those who would 'deliver
great songs/
temptation to speed. The compact disc, available a t all Harmony H o u s e l o c a t i o n s , w a s p r o duced by Mark and Brian Pastoria of Harmonic P a r k Creative
Group in Detroit. It was released
last week during the Woodward
Dream Cruise.
"I d i d n ' t believe they d i d n ' t
have a sort of soundtrack for (the
Dream Cruise)," said Brian Pastoria. So he and his brother created one. Choosing from an A-li'st
of tunes, which all relate to cars,
local artists recorded their own
versions of hits like The Beatles.
"Drive Mv Car," and Alice Cooper's " U n d e r My W h e e l s . " T h e
s o n g s cover d i v e r s e m u s i c a l
g r o u n d , from rock to b l u e s to
swing, and even hip-hop.
The-Betrort^Vitfe
"It's u n b e l i e v a b l e and it all
sounds 4ike Detroit," said Pastoria. He considers Detroit to be a
"melting pot of a lot of different
music:,R & B, blues, gospel, rock
and pop" all with a blue collar
energy and a c o n s t a n t groove.
Most of the a r t i s t s were people
he knew who not only showed
interest in t h e project, but those
who would "deliver great songs,"
said Brian Pastoria.
One of them, Liz Larin found
out about t h e p r o j e c t s h o r t l y
after returning from Los Angeles. After c u t t i n g two r e c o r d s
with a major label, Larin
returned to the Detroit area and
was "wowed by all t h e t a l e n t "
she came a c r o s s in t h e a r e a ,
L a r i n took T r a c y C h a p m a n ' s
always fabulous hit "Fast Car" to
new levels by t r a n s f o r m i n g it
into her own techno version.
"Everyone c a m e and worked
for free," said Larin. "Everyone
was into p l a y i n g o n i t for fun."
Chris McCall happened to be
working on her.own-CD in the
studio when the o p p o r t u n i t y
arose to work on the compilation.
" B r i a n s u g g e s t e d I do 'Mercedes Benz,'" McCall explained.
"I love ' M e r c e d e s Benz' a n d I
love J a n i s J o p l i n b u t I d i d n ' t
w a n t to do it. It's a s i g n a t u r e
song. It's usually a good idea to
avoid them."
After s h e was talked into it,
McCall brought family members
into the studio to sing the song's
c h o r u s . S h e a d m i t s t h a t now,
she's quite happy with the
result.
"It w a s g r e a t to h a v e t h i s
excuse to work with all these tale n t e d people," she s a i d . L i k e
Larin, McCall agreed that "it's a
nice time to. be hanging out in
Detroit"
More to come
The project began in May and
it took about six weeks to comp l e t e t h e C D . L a r i n c a l l e d it
"genuine" work by some of t h e .
best local artists.
Leonard Moon, of Bon Temps
Roulle, said the CD is something
you could have in your car all
year that will let you "drift back
to summer" every time you play
it. He envisions several versions
of "Cruisin' Songs" in y e a r s to

DIN
BY ELEANOR & SAY HEALD
SPECIAL WRITERS
Since 1982, Phoenicia's owner
Sameer Eid has delighted diners
with his Lebanese cuisine, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean
dishes. Such success does n o t
come without daily dedication.
Eid is up a t 5 a . m . six d a y s
each week. Like t h e best European chefs he's off to personally
select cuts of l a m b a n d o t h e r
meat at Wolverine Packing Company in Detroit's E a s t e r n Market. F r e q u e n t l y a i d e d by h i s
; b r o t h e r Walid, S a m e e r is n o t
!
<only h e a d t o q u e - i n h i s o w n
kitchen, but Maitre d' greeting
diners like they were members of
his private club.
How d i d S a m e e r b e g i n h i s
restaurateur career? "In 1970 by
mistake/ 7 he explained. "I was in
• the custom drapery business, b u t
liked to e a t a t a L e b a n e s e
r e s t a u r a n t in H i g h l a n d P a r k .
The owner was from my mother's
h o m e t o w n in L e b a n o n . S h e
wanted to close t h e r e s t a u r a n t
. and move out of t h e area. She
suggested that I buy it. I did for
$5,700."
Since 1982 a n d relocation to
Birmingham, Sameer h a s created a n u m b e r of new d i s h e s to
blend Lebanese-style with American t a s t e s . Salmon in G r a p e
Leaves is one example. For this
dish, fresh salmon fillet is topped
with slices of fresh lime, fresh
coriander and a slice of beefsteak
tomato, 1 then wrapped in grape
leaves and broiled.
Others
examples a r e Sauteed S h r i m p ,
Swordfish K a b o b , Frog L e g s ,
Scallops, a Mixed Grill (swordfish, scallops and shrimp marinated and char-broiled) a n d
Whitefish Fillet, baked over a
bed of fresh p e p p e r s , o n i o n s ,
beefsteak tomatoes and -spinach,
then seasoned with herbs a n d
olive oil.
At lunch, t h e non-traditional
Pasta with Pesto Sauce is very
popular.
•.'.'."
"And believe it or not, we're
known for our baby back ribs,"
S a m e e r n o t e d . "They a r e t h e
Monday night special." Phoenicia's version marinates the whole
slab, seasons it then takes it to
t h e broiler. Twice d u r i n g t h e
broiling, slabs a r e removed a n d
ve-introduced to t h e m a r i n a d e
and returned to the broiler. They
are moist, b u t served "dry," t h e
best way to enjoy them. A sauce
is offered on the side.
Phoenicia's extensive d i n n e r
appetizer list appeals a s a
superb grazing menu, ideal for a
large group to order several
selections a n d share. N u m b e r
one, most popular is homemade
Sausages.
Veal, l a m b a n d
