Grub Crawl delights Canton restaurants and participants The 15 Canton restaurants a n d their m a n a g e r s who participated "were thrilled" with t h e g r u b crawl Tuesday evening according to Canton chamber director Diane dojei. The C h a m b e r sold about 5 6 0 tickets t o t h e event. Everyone received a bright green T-shirt as a n admissions ID and participants got on buses a n d w e n t f r o m place to place to sample a variety of foods. "We t h i n k it went very well. The m a n a g e r at Chili's was h a p p y because some Tuesday night customers were hack the next day to buy gift certificates. One group even p a ^ e d on the buses and went everywhere in their own limo," Cojei said. Participating Canton restaurants included: 4 Friends Restaurant, Ashoka Indian Cuisine, Bailey's Pub & Grille, Carrabba's Italian Grill, Chili's Bar & Grill, Crow's Nest, Damon's, LaShish, Mexican Fiesta II, Palermo's Pizzeria, R o m a n Forum, Rusty Nail, Shark's Club, T.C. Gator's, a n d T.G.I. Friday's. "It was a really f u n event, a good change of pace for the Chamber. We can't always b e talking a b o u t business," Cojei said.

Condos, apartments lead Canton building The n u m b e r of building permits issued by Canton Township is up 3.2 percent overall for the first six m o n t h s o f 2 0 0 4 . Favorable interest rates are among the factors leading to the j u m p . The biggest increase came in the apartment and condominium sector. Permits were issued for a total of 336 units compared to 3 0 3 a year ago — an increase of 10.9 percent. Canton Building Official J o h n Weyer isn't surprised by the numbers. "That's where we've been strong the past few years," h e said. Permits issued for single-family homes fell by 8.5 percent, from 201 units for the first six m o n t h s o f 2 0 0 3 t o 184 this year. Weyer thinks t h a t sector of the market will change dramatically in the final two quarters of this year and continue with fast growth in 2005. "Overall, I think we'll be u p 15 to 2 0 percent next year," h e said. The type of units developers seek permits for depends greatly on economic conditions and the availability of lots within a community, Weyer added. Interest rates, labor costs and the price of building materials also influence development. Currently; Weyer said, interest rates are good, while labor costs are steady. The price of building materials has gone up with wood products

leading the way. Despite that increased cost, Weyer said permits issued for single-family homes are about t o take off in Canton because of increased lot availability. H e points to several new subdivisions leading the way. Heron Ridge North sits in Cantons northwest corner, while Antique Forrest is more centrally located at Ford and Beck roads. Cherry Hill Village, a neo-traditional mixture of single-family homes, condominiums and commercial facilities, is moving into phase three of development In-fill development is also picking up, Weyer said. "There's a lot of re-development going on along Saltz Road f r o m Canton Center past Beck Road in the west, h e added. 'These types of developments can range from a half-dozen h o m e s to 25 or 3 0 homes."

Daycare intruder Township man may have had death wish BY TONY BRUSCATO STAFF WRITER

A Plymouth Township man, w h o may have had a death wish, was shot arid killed w h e n h e scuffled with police after barging into t h e daycare center Friday morning at the Church of the Nazarene o n A n n Arbor Road. Plymouth Township Police Chief Tom Tiderington said 35-year-old Robert Van Buren was shot and killed by police after two law enforcement officers tried unsuccessfully t o subdue the suspect with a Taser gun. Tiderington said there were a b o u t 10 children and three female workers at N e w Horizons daycare when Van Buren — who reportedly was talking incoherently — entered t h e building shortly before the 8:13 a.m. emergency call to t h e 9-1-1 dispatch center. "He was m e t by a school administrator, and she attempted to keep h i m from coming into the building," Tiderington said. "At the same time, she notified a co-worker to call police.

chard looking forward o another crazy convention

y

im Blanchard r e m e m b e r s how h a r d h e f o u g h t to get to his first Democratic National Convention. He drove to United Auto Workers' h e a d q u a r t e r s in Detroit, slipped past a security guard, and sat for hours in t h e outer office of Millie Jeffries, a UAW vice president in charge of hiring pages. That was 1064, the year of Lyndon Baines Johnson's famous coronation in Atlantic City. ?I really wanted to get to t h a t convention," Said t h e f u t u r e governor, w h o was in t h e midst Of getting ready for this week's gathering of the Democratic clans in Boston. When she finally showed up, she n o t e d that h e was a little old to be a page, b u t was impressed by his eagerness. "She asked me if I supported civil rights. I was amazed. 'Of course — doesn't every Democrat?'" he said. The elfin Millie smiled. Well, he h a d a lot to learn . But he got in, a n d the experience helped hook him on politics for life. "One night Bernie Klein and I were going for a walk and we saw Jack Adlai Stevenson. Adlai Stevenson! I had h a n d e d out leaflets f o r him in f o u r t h grade." He ran u p to h i m a n d i n t r o d u c e d himself to his hero, who a d d r e s s e d him gravely as "old man." College a n d law school k e p t Blanchard away f r o m t h e next two conventions, which were two of t h e party's m o s t disastrous. But he's been going ever since, as congressman, governor, leader of t h e Bill Clinton forces in t h e state and, finally, as sort of an elder statesman. And he still loves every m i n u t e of th em, as his wife J a n e t noted with some amusement. "He'll be swinging f r o m t h e rafters next week," she chuckled. "The conventions have changed," Blanchard said, noting that national conventions once actually chose the party candidates and that, until recently, delegates arrived having no idea who their vice presidential candidate would be. Conventions past have seen titanic struggles over the party's positions — the so-called "platform" — with roll call debates on issues ranging f r o m civil rights to Vietnam to whether to seat a state delegation deemed to be insufficiently diverse or improperly chosen. "Now, they are all sort of coronations," said Blanchard, who says h e is nevertheless excited, in part because h e t h i n k s his party's ticket of John Kerry and J o h n Edwards "is maybe the strongest we've h a d in 4 0 years." That may be debatable; w h a t is not is t h a t for many of the delegates (and the press)

national conventions these days are in m a n y respects much more like high school reunions t h a n anything else. Politicians and reporters see old friends they haven't seen in four years; relive old battles; open new bottles. "You have to pace yourself," Blanchard said. You can easily spend all day talking politics and listening to speeches on the convention floor, and all night going f r o m hotel to hotel and party to party. Conventions are still politically worthwhile, he notes, because they serve two other key purposes: To introduce the party's candidates to the American people, m a n y of w h o m have, until now, been paying scant attention to t h e process, and also to fire u p the delegates to work h a r d for the ticket. The best recent example of that was probably 1992, when Bill Clinton arrived at the convention trailing both President Bush a n d H. Ross Perot, and left the clear front-runner. Four years ago, the convention was duller, b u t delegates still talk about the startlingly passionate kiss between A1 a n d Tipper Gore. Most conventions produce some memorable moments; Mario Cuomo's famous speech in 1984; Clinton's famously long and boring speech in 1988; and the bizarre scene in 1980 when Jimmy Carter seemed to be chasing Ted Kennedy around the platform, trying futilely for the traditional victory embrace. Democrats, who tend to be a more unruly lot than Republicans, have also h a d their presidential campaigns ruined by conventions. The worst of all time was the 1924 convention in New York City, when a deadlocked convention continued for three weeks and 104 ballots, until the nomination itself was worthless. The ultimate modern horrors were 1968 in Chicago, when out-of-control cops tear-gassed and clubbed demonstrators and delegates, a n d 1972, when anarchy prevailed; vice presidential votes w^re actually cast for Mao Tse-tung, and the nominee didn't get to speak till 3 a.m. — prime time only on Guam. Back then, networks prided themselves on so-called "gavel-to-gavel" coverage. Sadly, that's now a thing of the past. The m a j o r networks plan to show only three hours of coverage all week. That won't present many opportunities for the 155 Michigan delegates to see themselves in prime time. Yet questions remain. Will John Kerry finally electrify people? Will A1 Sharpton behave? Will Michigan's two party chairmen, who loathe each other, make nice for the cameras? Despite all the pre-packaging, something fascinating or bizarre is b o u n d to happen. W i t h Democrats, it nearly always does. Jack Lessenberry is editorial vice president of HomeTown Communications. He can be reached by phone at (248) 9012561 or by e-mail at [email protected].

Plan to protect the Great Lakes shouldn't be derailed by politics

T

his weekend my wife and I will be enjoying the beaches, bikeways and small towns along Lake Michigan. It is an annual ritual with suburban Detroit residents dating from the late 1800s, when trains ran regular schedules from Detroit to Traverse City, Petoskey and the Mackinac Straits. The sandy beaches of Lake Michigan, the rocky shores of Lake Huron and the wilderness reaches of Lake Superior are a welcome respite from everyday (S. & J MeBut we don t have to travel that far to appreciate the real value of our special position at the center of the Great Lakes. We need only drive over to the Detroit River and down to Lake Erie to see how we depend on these lakes for water to drink, to irrigate fields, generate power, transport raw materials, provide for a rich diversity of fish and as a playground for boaters. These lakes are our treasure. They are the reason that every suggestion for the state's quarter included Michigan's unique outline of two peninsulas defined by the lakes and why Gov. Jennifer Granholm chose the design which included all five Great Lakes. Even if we never boat or fish or own property along these lakes, they are a vital part of who we are. This past Monday, the Council of Great Lakes Governors and Canadian Premiers agreed on a draft proposal to protect Great Lakes waters from being siphoned away to other parts of the country or the world. The agreement requires that all eight Great Lakes ^states — Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York — must agree to any out-of-basin diversions of more than 1 million gallons of water per day. The agreement also would allow three states to veto any in-basin use of more than 5 million gallons a day. The premiers of Ontario and Quebec have agreed to the pact. Hearings are scheduled throughout the state to explain the agreement, which requires the approval all the state Legislatures and Congress. The nearest is 2 p.m. Sept. 14 at the Michigan Library in Lansing. The Great Lakes Charter was formed in 1985 to protect Great Lakes waters from diversion by the parched southwest and plains states. It was a minor issue during the last presidential election, when George W. Bush mused that such a diversion might be necessary someday. This year, it was candidate Sen. John Kerry who was caught off-guard and mused similarly. Last week on a visit to the

Only Michigan has failed to act. state, Vice President Dick Cheney promised that the president would "never" allow the diversion of Great Lakes water, showing that , some lessons do get learned. Water diversion has become a bit of a politi* cal football in Michigan. ; Since 1985, seven of the Great Lakes states and Ontario and Quebec have drawn up legislation to regulate large withdrawals of water. Only Michigan has failed to a c t Granholm not moving on a number of bills introduced earlier this year to protect the state's waters. GOP leaders respond that Granholm hasn't been working with them to get the bills moved and they are critical of some items that they feel will have a negative impact on business. What is clear is that our current laws do not adequately protect our water supply. Legal questions have been raised about whether a governor has the power to restrict diversion of water. T h e Great Lakes Charter draft proposal would make it difficult to nearly impossible to. divert water, while at the same time provide a | legal process that would probably pass muster. This should not be an issue that divides on party lines. Republican Majority Leader Ken Sikkma has been sensitive to envrionmental « issues. It's definitely time for the governor and the opposition to quit spitting and take u p a comprehensive program to protect the state's surface and groundwater supply and to sign on quickly to the draft proposal to prevent diversion from the Great Lakes.

M u c h like eight-track tapes, t h e Bee Gees and the video game "Pong," modified-pitch softball thrived in t h e Observerland area d u r i n g the late-70s a n d early-80s. But now, 25 years later, the sport is facing t h e same unfortun a t e demise as t h e previously m e n t i o n e d attractions. Modified-pitch softball is best described as slow-pitch softball with some spice. Pitchers cannot use a windmill delivery like in fast-pitch softball, b u t they can still generate 7 0 - m p h pitches with the straight-back and straight-forward style that is allowed. "I like modified because it's a lot more like regular baseball t h a n slow-pitch softball," said Livonia resident Rick Williamson, w h o h a s played modified for t h e past 33 years. "You can b u n t , steal bases, hit a n d r u n , a lot of things t h a t aren't allowed in slow-pitch softball. The g a m e is a lot quicker, too. It takes a b o u t a n h o u r a n d 10 minutes to play seven innings in modified." Judging by t h e steadily decreasing n u m b e r of active teams playing in t h e area, modified-pitch softball is a dying sport. Just 2 0 years ago, t h e r e were 16 t e a m s playing in the Plymouth league and over 3 0 competing in Livonia. Currently, there are 13 t e a m s playing i n b o t h leagues combined (four in Plymouth a n d nine in Livonia). "Unfortunately, t h e Plymouth league is in danger of getting canceled altogether," said J o h n Cunningham, a veteran of 36 modified seasons. "The rec d e p a r t m e n t h a s an eight-team slowpitch league t h a t would like t o take over Massey Field next year. If we can't find m o r e teams, modified will probably b e eliminate, which w o u l d b e a terrible thing." Why is modified-pitch softball fading from the sports landscape? "I think t h e n u m b e r one reason is because younger kids aren't playing baseball as m u c h as they used to," Williamson said. "There are m o r e a n d m o r e kids playing sports like soccer and golf, so they're steering away from sports like modified. Then w h e n they get older and they w a n t t o play softball, it's much easier t o hit t h e ball in slow-pitch t h a n it is in our sport."

Detroit Lions strength-a nd-conditioning coach Jason Arapoff offered the following tips for high school footbali players who are gearing up for practices beginning Aug. 9: • Hydration - "Staying p r o p e r l y hydrated is very important. Drink a lot of water before, during and after practices." • frequently - "Get m o r e rest t h a n you think you need. Get off your feet after practice." • Eat right - "Eat three square meals a day w i t h healthy snacks in between. You should eat at least five pieces of fruit a day and t h r e e t o four servings of vegetables." • Sleep is vital - "Once practice starts, t r y t o go t o bed at t h e same t i m e every night, the earlier the better. Try t o develop a regular sleep routine." '

"Look at Boss Bailey over there," Arapoff said, gesturing in the direction of the Lions' second-year linebacker. "It's the middle of July and he's in here working his tail off. My job is to maximize the players' ability, but their dedication to getting better makes my job easier." Each of the lions players has a specific workout plan developed by Arapoff.

Whether you want to immerse yourself in the hubbub of everyday activity in the kitchen, or close the bathroom door to get away from it all, new homes offer a plethora of options from which to choose. Today, the kitchen might double as your family's office/study room, party room or conversation area, in addition to the place where mom or dad cooks dinner. Areas designated for computer workspace are included in all Delcor homes and we find that many customers prefer that these "Learning Centers" be in the kitchen/family room area to make it easier for parents to oversee their children's computer usage. As its household role has expanded, kitchens have increased in size, while becoming more inviting and convenient Kitchens today are usually open to the family room, have a wide view of the outdoors and arefilledwith lots of natural light. Increasingly, kitchens are large enough to accommodate small parties, having ample space to prepare meals, serve guests and be conducive to mingling.

Customers are demanding more interesting architectural features in their kitchens. For example, demand is increasing for higher ceilings for added storage space and to make rooms appear more spacious. All Delcor homes have a minimum of 9-foot ceilings on the first floor, and many include cathedral ceilings in the rooms on the second floor. Customers use the extra space above cabinets in the kitchen to enhance decor with plantings or display items. The homes in our Estates of Metamora development in Metamora have 42-inch cabinets, which allow for additional storage space. Decorative beams and moldings; large, unusual-shaped windows; chandeliers and accent lighting; and ornate cabinetry are also popular additions to today's kitchens. To beautify the kitchen even more, the newest decor incorporates materials such as granite, marble, metals and even concrete. Painted and glazed cabinets are b e c o m i n g popular; experts predict that hot color choices for 2 0 0 4 will include celery green, creamery yellow

LUXURIOUS SPACE In contrast to the busy kitchen, when the party is over and the kids have gone to bed, homeowners frequently retreat to what is fast becoming one of the most luxurious spaces in today's new homes — the bathroom. According to industry experts, today's consumer expects warmth, comfort, convenience and luxury in bathrooms at every price point. Baths are growing in size and are increasingly geared to relaxation as well as efficiency. Emerging trends include "his and hers" master baths, large showers with multiple

heads, heated floor tiles and the use of furniture for vanities instead of pedestal sinks and cabinets. Also, more consumers are seeking universal designs for their bathrooms that address health, safety and welfare issues. As the baby boom generation nears retirement, features designed for older homeowners and their guests (e.g. aging parents) are becoming popular. These features include such things as doorways at least three feet wide, lever handles in place of knobs, grab bars that look like towel racks and adjustable shower heads. Like the kitchen, the bath not only is becoming more comfortable, but more aesthetically pleasing as well. New homes frequently feature luxurious touches like granite tiles and glass block

partitioning between the bath and the ;> toilet. v For more information on trends and design in every room of your home, visit: the National Association of Home j Builders' Web site at www.nahb.org.

at the heart of Tudor style Ascot Brick walls and half-timbering in the gables would be enough to establish the Ascot's Tudor styling. But massive medieval chimneys, ribbons of small paned windows, and an bay window at center on the second floor complete the image. A large kitchen packed with modern conveniences is at the heart of the Ascot. Features include double ovens, microwave, dishwasher, walkin pantry, and an island with a cook top and grill. Breakfasting in the sunny octagonal nook starts your day on a cheerful note. Formal dining takes place in the spacious vaulted dining room. A second floor balcony overlooks this bright space, and French doors open onto a dining deck. The elegant lobby is also vaulted. Stairs here lead to a second floor landing with a railed balcony facing the entrance. A small den or office is to the left, and a stately vaulted living room with fireplace is to the right. Stairs in the lobby are not

Husbands, wives and income stream WORKWISE

Do you ever wonder why work skills never leave the office? A recent article in the New York Times featured a man by whose wife, an attorney, had Mildred L decided to stop working and stay Gulp home with their children. The man complained of"bait-andswitch" because he thought he'd married a professional woman who'd be contributing handsomely to family finances. He also complained that now, the sole wageearner in his 40s, he grabs all of the work he can, even on weekends, and returns homefromwork to face a long list of household chores. The partnership the couple had formed seems to have evaporated. The man's surprise at this development in his marriage is amazing; his failure to use his well-honed experience negotiating at work, equally so. Where has he been during the last 15 years? Men have been encountering this situation for a very long time. Didn't he hear about it at work, observe it in the neighborhood or tune into it in the media? I'm not discounting his right to be angry. He should be. I'm just wondering what he and his wife didn't do that might have led to a different outcome. He didn't and doesn't have to respond helplessly, joining the ranks of male victims. "Just Enough: Tools for Creating Success in Your Work and Life," a book by Laura Nash and Howard Stevenson (Harvard Business School Press, $24.95), would suggest that the couple might well have been expecting too much of their dual-income lifestyle, that it might have become a treadmill. It would seem that, if one member of the partnership felt driven to shift gears, both members of the couple needed to get real about the adjustments everyone was going to have to make. I'm reminded of the man who responded to his wife's Help W a n t e d - G e n e r a l

desire to leave the work force by pointing out what they'd no longer have, beginning with two cars. Shifting to one income, many couples become do-it-yourself-er5s staving off housecleaning, landscaping and restaurant entertainment bills. Clothing budgets plummet — or should. Everything gets a little tighter. Does this downshifting to a simpler lifestyle sound appealing? Is there a way to live other than by all or nothing? "Just Enough" says there is. Many men and women would criticize the wife for her about-face, particularly given times of economic uncertainty. I can't help wondering what transpired in the marriage that created a chasm between the two. The couple may well have become so caught up in their upscale, two-career, two-income lifestyle that they didn't renegotiate their partnership. Don't you hear, in tiie man's comment that he "thought he had it made" by marrying an attorney something like the "good catch" some women think they've made when marriage promises them upscale luxuries to which they have been, or want to become, accustomed? Partnerships are just that ~ relationships that need constant nurturing to accommodate the inevitable forces of change in our sped-up world. Nash and Stevenson point out that people subscribing to "Mefirst"have a problem: "not an inability to imagine the good life in terms larger than money, but knowing how to go after it.. .. Our core message is that success is not just about one thing nor an infinite number of things; it is about 'just enough'" across several spheres. "It's the parent," they write, "who cuts back on career for the sake of children but does not become lost in the mom role or dad role to forsake all other aspects of his or her identity." I confess to irritation toward women (and men) at parties who have nothing to discuss but their children. I've watched relationships fall apart when sisters, with

. l u l l s has a strong foundation, the couple and their children will survive this crisis. The burden of facing years as a sole provider when the foundation of the relationship was a work-based partnership ought to spur the man to action. Personal and )usiness partnerships are dynamic. Throwing up your lands and giving up when one of the partners changes places the objective of "just enough" in another galaxy.
