There was at least one new
suggestIon offered for
addressmg the MIchIgan
State Pohce budget dunng a
pubhc hearmg held Monday
at Westland CIty Hall
The state pohce have theIr
finger on the pulse of the
commumty - we don t want
an outSIde agency takIng care
of homeland secunty, JIm
Murphy saId 'On the mcome
tax (return), I d hke a box
you could check for $1 to
adopt a state trooper
Most of the other speakers
supported malntammg fundmg for the state pohce Or
urged legIslators to figure out
a way to hve Wlthm theIr
means and not seek any tax
or fee mcreases
More than 25 people
turned out for the hearmg,
WhIChalso took comments
on the Mlhtary and Veterans
AffaIrs budget
Part of the proposed state
pohce budget would ehmInate fundmg for a 50-recruIt
trooper academy and reduce
staffing m an effort to reduce
spendmg by $5 4 mIlhon
Other reductIOns proposed
mclude fewer staff for
ForenSIC SCIence and
Enhsted Command, pOSSIbly
resultmg m post closmgs
I d rather have as many
state polIce as we can They
are well tramed and very
professIOnal" Westland reSIdent Elenor SWIstak saId
Another reSIdent Gerald
Young questIOned the need
for pOSSIblylaymg off 30
state troopers
Is there no place else you
can cut? Its not that much
money when It comes to pubhc safety, Young saId 'You
keep cuttmg and cuttmg
These are professIOnal people
Wlth mtegnty Most ofthese
troopers have Jobs hned up
In other states'
The last state pohce recruIt
school tramed 80 troopers,
he saId, and the proposed
layoffs would send 30 troopers to benefit law enforcement In other states
Some of the hIgher brass
needs to step asIde to save
these Jobs - the ones not on
the road, Young saId It s
beer! done m the auto mdustry I ve done It myself
Acknowledgmg he was
among the top brass bottleneck, state pohce east regIOn
commander MaJ Tony
Gomez reVIewed servIces
provIded across MIChIgan by
the state pohce m traffic,
InvestigatIOns, support servIces and a varIety of cooperatIve task forces superVIsed by
the state pohce
There are already 332
fewer state troopers than In
2001 Gomez saId, addmg
other law enforcement agen
Cles had lost 788 officers due
to fundmg cuts
The Mlhtary and Veterans
AffaIrs budget proposal
would actually mcrease the
budget by nearly $5 mIlhon
due to addItIOnal revenue
from the new MIchIgan
RegIOnal Trammg InstItute
at Fort Custer, expected federal fundIng Increase and
spendIng reductIOns In some

The Idea was floated m

Dayhght-savmg tIme Will
arnve three weeks earher
tillS year and stay arollnd a
httle longer, an energy saVing
plan that has spread fears of
a mmi Y2K-style computer
breakdown
But Just as Y2K (the turnmg of the calendar from
1999 to 2000) proved less
than catastrophic, computer
techws are takmg the problem m stnde and don t
expect any catastrophes
In 2005, PresIdent George
W Bush signed the Energy
Pohey Act of 2005 The act
moves the start of dayhghtsaVing tIme from the first
Sunday of Apnl to the second
Sunday of March DayhghtsaVing tIme Will end on the
first Sunday of November
mstead of the last Sunday of
October
ThiS year m the U mted
States and Canada, we Will
sprmg forward at 2 a m
Sunday, March 11
The Idea ISto save money
by pushmg dayhght later mto
the evenmg, when more people are usmg e1ectnc hghts
than m the early mormng
hours
The ghtch - many computers, computer-operated
alarms, cell phones and other
deVices have been programmed to automatiCally
adjust for dayhght-savmg
tIme, but the old dayhghtsaVlngtlme
A lot of people are not
aware of It, saId Dave
WlsmewskI, owner of Canton
Computer m Canton and
Redford Discount
Computers m Redford If
system clocks are not set,
meetmgs can be missed
There can be some confusIOn
In the first week or so'
But Wismewslu and other
computer experts aren t that
concerned MiCrosoft has
created patches that can be
attached to computers to cor
rect the error Wismewslu
said that With 10 dIfferent
operatmg systems, MIcrosoft
has had to develop a dIfferent patch for each system
There Willbe a lot of
adJustInent If you ve got
Microsoft updates, that should
fix the problem," he sald
Dave Wiltrakis, dIrector of
networlung and secunty at
Schoolcraft College, sald the
college uses the MiCrosoft
update semce He saId the
college does have computers
that don't have the Wmdows
software and other patches
Will have to be found to
adjust them But hes not
overly concerned
'Y2K was more of a big
iSSUe Wl1trakis said "It
causes a httle extra work on
the older machmes Big companies put out the patches
They were on It We address
It as tlme goes on
Charles Allen of PC Replay
m Redford saId It is a prob
lem for computers usmg
older software, Wmdows
2000 and older He sald they
would have to be manually
adjusted
Wismewslu sald there may
be some timmg problems for
deVices hke school bOilers,
hghtmg systems and airlme
systems
'The big concern I see is If
alarm systems don t get
updates Some have alarms
that go on automatiCally," he
sald
He said another problem IS
that MeXICOand Europe Will
not be changmg to dayhght
saVIng at the same time
In the Umted States,
sWitchmg to dayhght savmg
tIme is not a federal mandate ArIzona alld HaWalI do
not observe dayhght-saVIng
For many years, portIOns of
Indiana did not observe dayhght saVing and for parts of
the year the state had three
different tImes, dependmg
where you were
Experts say that cell
phones TlVo's and other dIg
Ital products connected to a
system Will be adjusted
because prOVider compames
are aware of the problem
VCRs, and clocks and other
deVices not connected to a
system Will have to be adJusted manually

Don't panic over stock market correction
here is no questIOn that we
have Just experIenced some
dIfficulty m the market
Whenever thiS happens,
mvestors almost always tend to
overreact It ISthIS overreac
bon that hurts mvestors, caus~
mg them to unnecessarIly lose
money
It has been often said that
there are two emotIOns that
Investors need to conquer
before they can be a successful
mvestor - fear and greed
When mvestors let fear and
greed dictate theIr mvestment
deCISIOns,almost always they
Will end up makmg the wrong
one
In lookmg at the recent market volatIhty, I ve seen many
stones comparmg the drop to
the stock market crash of 1987
However, the recent volatlhty
has nothmg m common With
the crash of'87 FIrst, the 500pomt drop m October 87 represented nearly a 25-percent
drop m the value of the Dow
Jones IndustrIal Average At
the tIme of the crash, the market was valued at a httle over
2,000 The 400-pomt drop
that we recently expenenced
With the Dow valued at over
12,000 represents a 3-percent
drop Therefore, as a percent
age, the drop was mmor compared to what happened m
1987 Investors need to focus
on percentages as opposed to
raw numbers That doesn t
mean that a 400-pomt drop IS
not pamful - It IS However, It
doesn t come close to what
happened m 1987
CorrectlOns are normal
occurrences m the market If
you go back over tIme, you Will
see that retreats m the market
are relatively common There
IS no reason for mvestors to
pamc or feel that they need to
change their portfoho m hght
T
THIN
pened over the last week leads
me to beheve that there has
been a fundamental change m
the long-term prospects for our
economy Yes, It appears that
our economy IS slowmg and
that, consequently, the world
economy Will probably slow
down somewhat That does not
mean, though, that it Will
change the overall strategy of
how I manage money
Many mvestors Will beat
themselves up, saymg that
they Wish they would have
been out of the market or hope
that they could have predicted
the recent downturn First of
all, no one can predict the
market over the short run The
idea that people can look at
different SIgnals m the market
and know when to buy or s~lI
is a fool s game
We ve seen correctlOns
before and one thmg has
always occurred - markets do
recover Patience IS a key element for a successful Investor
Remember, what makes a successful Investor IS not timIng
the market, but rather tIme m
the market Don't pamc and
don t let fear dictate your
Investment deCISl.OnS
Money
Matters
Rick
Bloom
of what happened recently
However, It ISa good tlme
for mvestors to take another
look at their portfohos to make
sure they are diverSified, balanced and well-matched to
your tolerance for nsk
Whenever the market IS gaInmg ground, mvestors forget
about their nsk tolerance level
and tend to add stocks to theIr
portfoho Without concern as to
how they fit mto their overall
portfoho
The success"(l.dmvestor IS
one who has a game plan and
then allocates mvestments
accordmg to theIr plan Withm
a WIde range of mvestment
alternatives A well-balanced
and diverSified portfoho contams not only domestic stocks,
but mternatlOnal stocks as well
as a fixed mcome SIde to the
portfoho Whether the fixed
mcome portIOn of the portfoho
ISmvested m bonds or fixed or
eqUlty-mdexed annUltIes, those
mvestments playa key part m
an overall strategy
I have been asked many
tImes over the last week how I
am changmg the portfohos
that I manage My answer is, I
am not Nothmg that hapSImply

OUR VIEWS
On Sunday, take
time to check
smoke detectors
It s sImple to do and not all that expenSIve, eIther
But WIth dayhght-savmg time commg agam Sunday yes, It'S earher than last year and, hkewlse, It WIll last
longer - It'S a good time to check the smoke detectors m
your dwelhng and, If necessary, change the battenes
Smoke detectors are the smgle most Important means
of preventmg house and
apartment
fire fatahtles
by provldlllg
an early
warmng SIgnal - so famIhes can escape Smoke
alarms are one of the best
safety features you can
buy and mstall to protect
yourself, your famIly and
your home
Install smoke alarms on
every level of your home,
mcludmg the basement
Many fatal fires begm late
at mght or III the early
mornmg For extra safety,
mstall smoke alarms both
Illslde and outSIde the
sleepmg area
The
US
Fire
AdmllllstratlOn
recommends
that smoke alarms be
mstalled on the cellmg or 6-8 mches below the ceJlmg on
SIde walls Slllce smoke and many deadly gases rise,
mstallmg your smoke alarms at the proper level WIll proVIde you WIth the earhest warnmg pOSSIble
Also conSIder the age of smoke detectors m your resIdence If you bought them 8 10 years ago, they should be
replaced LIke most electncal deVIces, smoke alarms wear
out You may want to write the purchase date WIth a
marker on the mSlde of your umt That way, you II know
when to replace It
Most of us WIll never have to deal WIth a house fire yet
all of us, at one tIme or other, have probably left our
smoke detectors moperable, most hkely WIthout even
knOWIng It
FIrefighters say that dayhght-saVlng Sundays are a particularly good time to check detectors They encourage
reSIdents to check their detectors as they go room to
room changmg the time on theIr clocks
That's a good habIt to get mto, and thIS Sunday IS as
good a time to start as any
Install smoke alarms on
every level of your home,
including the basement.
Many fatal fires begin
late at night or in the
early morning. For extra
safety, install smoke
alarms both inside and
outside the sleeping area.

When you go to bed Saturday mght, don't forget to set
y1:!urclocks an hour ahead Dayhght saVIng tIme begms at
l!' a m March 11, three weeks earher than last year And It

'The new change was mstltuted by the Energy Pohcy
kt of 2005 The Idea IS to save energy by puttmg more
dayhght mto the evenmg hours, when people are home
,,'lid hkely to be usmg more electnclty
.The change has created a stir m the computer world As

consequence,
many preset computer
clocks WIll not reset properly Computer clocks have been
set to automatically adjust for changes to and from daylight-saVIng tIme based on the prevIOus start and end
cycle In addItIOn, computer-controlled
systems, cell
phones and other deVICes have been SImIlarly programmed
The problem has been compared to a mml-Y2K, the
concern about computers pOSSIbly confusmg the year
2000 WIth 1900 But computer experts seem to be confident that problems WIll be few because of specIal computer patches and serVIce updates that WIll correct the problem Some older operatmg systems WIll have to be manually readjusted
But most experts beheve that the word
has gone out and that adjustments WIll be made
In a time when concern over energy conservation IS a
top natIOnal prlonty, dayhght-saVlng time seems to be a
senSIble approach to conserVIng some energy In addItion,
we all need to be mmdful of our own personal energy use

ny company m bIg hme trouble has to do
two thmgs FIrst, cut costs to the bone
That s rule one for sumval But uo company
can prosper Wlthout dnvmg up sales of Its
major product hnes
Therefore, the second rule for any strugghng
concern Launch a long-range mvestment program desIgned to strengthen your most compehtlve, durable and propnetary assets Domg that eqmps
you to compete
and maybe
even thnve
The tragedy up to now ISthat
MlChlgan has done neIther
We ve had plenty of chances
Over the years, we could have
radIcally cut costs by restructurPhil
mg state government We could
have closed pnsons and taken a
~~_
hard look at our generous state
penSlOn and health-care benefits We could have slashed wasteful overhead
costs m school dlstncts and overlappmg local
government umts
But we dldn t do It
We could have faced the fact that M,chlgan
led the natlOn m Job losses for the entIre
decade, 1995-2005 Those numbers could have
told us, had we cared to analyze them, that the
long term auto manufacturmg base of our
economy was m desperate trouble
Butwedldnt
We could have taken senous, far reachmg
steps to fix the chromc bllhon dollar-plus structural defic,t m the state's general fund But we
dIdn't do that, eIther
Instead, over the last five years, we adopted a
senes of one time accountmg gImlnicks that
never got to the beart ofthe problem aud merely patched the state s finances together Wlth the
fiscal eqmvalents of cheWlng gum and ballmg
Wlre
And we could have, meanwhlle, taken a hard
look at what kmd of MlChlgan we wanted to
construct over the next decade We could have
IdentIfied our durable, dlstmchve competItIve
assets and launched an mvestment program to
feed those assets and regam our competItIve
ness But agam, we dldn t do that, eIther
Instead, we starved our umverSIty system,
especIally the research umversltles We short
changed the enVironment that sustams our
marvelous qUalIty ofhfe And we cut back on
mvestmg m human capItal - the brams and
skIlls of our people
So when Gov Granholm comes back to
Lansmg from her tour around the state, she
won't find thmgs much dIfferent m Lansmg
than when she left And when House Speaker
Andy DlIlon and Senate MaJonty Leader MIke
BIshop finally SIt down to thrash out what needs
to be done - pronto - to resolve a bllhon-dol
lar hole m the state budget, they won t have
tIme to do much more than apply more chewmg gum and ballmg Wlre to the balance sheet
Its too bad, because all three of our top leaders are smart and sensIble people, trymg to do
theIr best Wlth an ImpossIbly dIfficult sltuatlOn
But they're as locked m as anybody else by a
pervasIve lack oflong term strategIc thmkIng
about our state s future
Yet there IS one thmg that happened last
week WhIChIS cause for a glImmer of optimIsm,
what the three research or constItutlOnal umversltles d,d They ClUlletogether and proposed
that the Umverslty ofMlCh,gan, MlChlgan State
Umverslty and Wayne State Umverslty be separately funded from the other 12 pubhc umverSlties In the state
The bIg three argued that the research umversitIes, In fact, dnve a lot of the state's economIC future They noted, too, that state fundIng for theIr InstItutIOns has expenenced somethmg hke a net 14 percent cut smce 2001

The core of the argument for supportmg
research umversitIes 18 a powerful one
Collechvely, they return $26 to the state for
each dollar of state support 'You find me

gets $21 (she meantto say $26) back U-M

For years and years MlChlgan s leaders have

My name ISDaVld Hebestrelt and I am 35
How does a 35-year-old, 1ll otherWIse good
health, get to that pomt? Good questIon
In 1996, I underwent braln
surgery to repalr an aneurysm In
1997, I had open-heart surgery to
replace heart valves destroyed by
an mfectlOn developed dunng the
bram surgery Most recently,
though, I had a heart transplant
to replace the one that no longer
pumped well enough to sustam

On March 5, 2006, after 88
Hebestrelt
days of walhng as a pallent m the
hOSPItal, the proverbIal hght at
the end of the tunnel seemed as though It would
never agam shme upon my face In and out of the
heart fallure ICU, hooked up to a central hne that
fed hfe-supportmg IV meds to my fallmg heart, I
was at rock bottom
Whatever the reasons, for the better part ofl0
years I dealt Wlth a medIcal condlhon that I could
never have fathomed as a young adult
Remarkably, I dId recover qmcldy after the first
two surgenes For the most pari, I returned to
normal actiVItles After open heart, because I was
left Wlth two mechamcal heart valves, I could not
play contact sports and was m constant fear of
bleedmg to death because of an antI-coagulant
necessary to prevent clottmg of the valves
Over the years, I got used to the changes I even
grew accustomed to the tICkIng of the tltlmmm
valves that could be heard by anyone standmg
next to me III a qmet room
I found the pOSItIves Dogs and cats found It
comfortmg Fnends and famIly found It mterestmg Plus I always had a story to tell But gone
was any chance of my becommg an mternatIonal
spy or poker superstar
Although the valves dId theIr Job the mlhal
damage done to the heart was Irreparable In
2001 I was accepted mto the heart faIlure and

seemg no progress In the aforementIOned pro

The most meamngful moment through all of

The only mIraculous aspect of th,S endeavor was

Six days, six fires, 28 fire deaths! Be prepare~
In the SIXdays between Feb 6
Iand 11,there were SIXfires that
kUled 19 children and mne
adults from across the nation,
mcludmg the nearby ypsilanti
apartlnent fire that kUled three
children That fire started ou a
stovetop 10 the kitchen A Texas
house fire killed three small children and a man who med to
save them In Kentucky house
blaze killed a total of ten people,
SIXof them children A fire broke
out m an upper floor bedroom 10
Tennessee that killed four children
Everyone should sleep in
homes that have smoke
alarms While 96 percent of
U S homes have the Iifesavmg
Tom
Klurskl
replaced after ten years
Children should be taught at
a young age some basiC fire
safety behaVIOrs If their c1othmg catches lire, they should
automatically practice the
Stop, Drop and Roll' behaVIOr
They should also know how to
crawl low (slmulatmg crawlmg
under smoke) to their bedroom
door, and take that path to the
nearest eXit door They should
also know how to crawl from
their bed to their bedroom Win
dow and be able to open It
Without usmg their eyes A real
fire would give off smoke that
would make It difficult to see
through, and It would aggra
vate their eyes, making Sight
nearly Impossible
StatistICs tell us that most
people feel that fire won t happen to them They believe that
It IS usually someone else that
Will be strnck by fire I have
responded to a number of fires
m my years on the fire department, and I haven t found one
family that felt they would
have a fire destroy their lives
Planmng ISkey to personal
safety durmg any emergency
Plan how to get out of your
house by gomg mtu every room
WIth your family and dlS-eussmg the escape Doors are
usually the fastest and easiest
way out If fire ISblocking the
exIt, a secondary escape must
be used In most cases, that
would be a Window Does the
person m the bedroom know
how to open the Window easily,
and can they get out safely m
an emergency? ObViously, an
Infant cannot do thIS, and a
more responsible person who
sleeps nearby should be
asSigned the responsibility of
gettmg the child out
If you have family members
who sleep upstlllrs, take a look
out each Window to see what
the next step IS Some Windows
lead to a lower leyel roof, like a
garage By crawlmg onto the
roof and to a low pomt, the
ground may only be a dozen
feet away A neighbor may get
a ladder to help you off the,.;;
roof, but Jumpmg may be considered Iffire threatens them
The best optIOn IS a box contammg an emergency escape
ladder kept under the bed, and
practice usmg It The ladder
can be purchased for two- and
three-story homes, and hangs ,

the program WIll recognIze former state legIslators ThIs year,
former state Rep DIanne
Byrum and former state Sens
Robert Emerson, ShIrley
Johnson and Ken SIkkema WIll
receIve LeadershIp and ServIce

Though Begala and Watts
have oppOSIng Vlews on most
pohtlCallssues, both share a
strong mterest m the pohtIcal
process Begala and h,s longtime bUSIness partner James
CarvIlle were mstrumental m
BIll Clmton's electIon Watts
has served as the chaIrman of
GOPAC, the Repubhcan
orgamzatIOn that recruIts candIdates
C Watts first gaIned
natIOnal attentIOn as an allstar quarterback for the
Umverslty of Oklahoma
:r
Sooners, leadmg them to BIg
EIght and Orange Bowl champIOnshIps m the late 1970s He
served m the House from 1995
to 2003 before decldmg not to
seek re-electIon He IS a mInISter m the Southern BaptIst
Church, whIch has been a bIg
mfluence on h,s pohtlCal
behefs
Watts was unaVaIlable for an
mtervIew, but Begala shared
some of hIs VIews of the current pohtIcal scene m a phone
mtervIew
The Democrats regaIned
control of Congress m last fall s
electIon, but the war m Iraq IS
proVIng a dIfficult problem
For Begala, the Democrats
have to lUSlst on accountabIlIty
The Democrats have held
more hearmgs and done more
to hold Bush accountable m
seven weeks than the
Repubhcans dId m four years,"
Begala saId But we have to be
reahstIc Its the hardest problem on the planet Earth'
Begala SaId the deCISIOnto
escalate the war was Bushs
over the objectIOns ofmlhtary
leaders and the IraqIS But, he
SaId, It IS a ternble Idea to
WIthdraw fundmg whIle there
are troops m the field
"No one talks about the
practIcal problems of a retreat
George Washmgton was a bnl
hant tactIcal retreat general
He saved hIS men tIme and
time agaIn from supenOf
forces,' Begala saId
But, he saId, Democrats
shouldn't make the mIstake of
Bush and (VICe PreSIdent)
Cheney by expectmg flowers
from the IraqIS for retreatmg
Begala grew up m Texas, m
the dlstnct that Tom DeLay
once represented In Congress,
but he was drawn to the
DemocratIc Party
"I always thought the
Democrats are for the httle guy
and I m a popuhst;' he SaId I
have a lot of confidence m
what BIll Clmton called walkmg around folks'
'We've been In busmess now
for 23 years We ve run campaIgns, wntten books and
never had an argument over
money Over tactICS, but never
over money," he saId
FollOWIng Clmton's successful campaIgn m 1992, Begala
went to work at the WhIte
House He ISsaId to have
msplred the Josh Lyman character m ~st W,ng
He contInues to admIre the
Chntons and supports Sen
HIllary Chnton's candIdacy for
the preSIdency
"The bIggest thmg I learned
from BIll Chnton, you have to
trust people I'm more IdeahstIC today than 23 years ago
Most of the tIme If you trust
the people they get It nght," he
saId
He saId he blames John
Kerry not the people for Bush s
re-electIOn
GOT HIS STARr
He got hIS pohtlCal start
workmg WIth now Texas
Congressman Lloyd Doggett
It was whIle workIng on a campaIgn for Doggett m 1983 that
Begala met James CarvIlle, the
ragm Cajun of Amencan pohtics
"The mam thmg ISthey dIdn't have a message, frammg
what you re for and agaInst
Bush hitd a message - 1m
strong and he's weak He s
French," Begala saId
Tradmg messages IS part of
Begala's pobtIcai role on teleVISIon, where he appeared for
several years as the lIberal on
CNN s Crossfire But he has
been able to separate the pohtICSfrom the peplon on the
other SIde
'Robert Novak IS my frIend,
'lUcker Carlson IS my fnend,
Ohver North IS my fnend,"
Begala saId
As a devout Cathohc, he SaId
he trIes to love those on the
other SIde
"Crossfire helped me a lot m
that I sat across the table from
them When you have to SIt
there, It'S better than lobbmg
press releases at each other, he
saId
When speakmg to the recent
leadershIp graduates, he WIll
draw agaIn on the WIsdom of
BIll Clmton
"Chnton saId a leader must
be a dealer of hope; he saId
Chnton ran dunng a recesSIOn,people had lost hope,
they dIdn't thmk It mattered
Clmton never lost hope He
always beheved m our country

Tuesdaymghts Canton Agape-Lutheran
Westland showdown at Redford Covenant
HIgh School was one of those rare Class D
first-round DIstnct match-ups that prom
ISedto send a very good team to the SIdelInes very early
Alex Edwards made sure It wasn't the
Wamors
Edwards, a 6-foot~6 semor center, came
off the bench to rack up 16 pomts and 18
rebounds and lead Lutheran Westland (137) to a convmcmg 61-44 VIctory The setback derailed what had been a successpacked 'eason for the Wolvermes, whose
15-6 record mcluded a Mlclngan
Independent AthletIc Conference Red
DlVlsIOntItle
WIth the tnumph, the Wamors earned a
tIcket to Thursday's 6 p m senufinal
encounter WIth Wl'Stslde Chnstlan
Aeademy, whIch has stmggled through a
modest 5-10 camprogn
Edwards pounded the glass relentlessly
On a few OccasIOns,he grabbed three or
four consecutive putbacks befure he was
fouled or he converted the shot
AlexdldamceJob,
LWcoachDan
Ramthun srod WIth hISSIZe,hes gomg to
eat up a lot of rebounds He mISSeda few
easy bunmes tomght, but he was one of the
guys who stepped up when we needed It
because some of our top guys dldn't have
theIr best games
"Gomg mto the game, we knew Agape
had a couple of good shooters - No 21
(Jack Aoleltner) and No 12 (1YMaJeskr)
We knew we had to play good man defense
on them and not grve up too many good
shots We re a lIttle bIgger than they are, so
we figured wed control the boards"
Aulertner paced the Wolvennes WIth 16
pomts, however, he connected on Just 7-of
20 field goals MaJeSKI,wno led Agape m
sconng m almost one-thrrd of Its games,
was IInuted to Just five shots and four
pomts Edwards receIved plenty of asSIS
tance from semor forward KyleWIlson (14
pomts and three rebounds), Semorforwmd
Josh Haller (11pomts and tlrree boards)
and semor guard Ryan Vanden Bnnk, who
netted 10 pomts and SIXcaroms
The Wamors used an up-tempo style
that kept the game at a frenetlc pace from
the opemng tIp to the closmg buzzer
The WInners dramed lO-of-15 free
throws (67 percent) Agapewent3-of-6

Canton s Steve Paye (With ball) contributed eight POints and four rebounds In the Chiefs ronvlnclng
61-51 victory over NorthVille Wednesday night Paye IS being defended by NorthVille s AlVin Storrs
(left) and Dan Kirkpatrick
The bad news for NorthVIlle's AlVIn Storrs IS that hIS brIllIant
hIgh school basketball career ended Wednesday mght m Cantons
Phase III gymnasIUm
The good news for Storrs He won t have to square off agamst
Cantons Josh Butler anymore
Led by Butlers ball-hawkmg defense on the Mustangs' 6-foot-2
Grand Valley State Umverslty-bound guard - and several clutc!l
offenSIve performances from Butler s teammates - the Chiefs
advanced to their third consecutive Class A DistrIct final WIth a
61 51 tnumph over NorthVIlle
From the opemng tIp to the final buzzer, It appeared as If Butler
was closer to Storrs than hiS own shadow - and It showed on the
stat sheet as Storrs found net on Just 5 of-18 shots Eight of his •
team-high 22 pomts came at the free-throw Ime
Josh dId an mcredlble Job defenSively agamst Storrs m all four
games we played agamst them thiS year, SaId Canton coach
CharlIe Paye It seems lIke AlVIn gets a lIttle frustrated playmg
agamstJosh
The lO-pomt VIctory ensured the Chiefs (16-6) a spot m Fnday
mght's 7 p m Dlstnct title game agamst NoVI (14-8), whICh elnulnated Plymouth, 66-36, m the mghts first game
The loss capped the Mustangs' second-straIght one-and-done
post-season performance follOWIng stellar regular seasons m
WhIChthey compiled a combmed record of 38-4 Their only three
losses thiS season came at the hands of Canton (twice) and Salem
The Chiefs used a blazmg start and an mspmng stretch run to
hold off the Mustangs before a charged-up crowd m the Jampacked Phase III gymnasIUm The two teams ended up splIttmg
their four-game series that stretched over the past month
WhIle It s unclear who WIll WIn Fnday mght's final, thiS much IS
certam The atmosphere won t be any more electrIC than It was on

The Chiefs weren't the odds-on favontes to WIn the

Supposedly, male baldness ISthe
reswt of too much testosterone,
so m effect, bald men are more,
uh, mawy than those of us WIth
full, thIck, nch heads of haIr
My pomt ISthIS - I am a haIry
guy on top so I do not know what
It wowd be lIke to be non-haIry
So, I cannot relate to how someone feels when they lose then
haIr
What I can relate to ISwhen
those folks attempt to cover up
theIr lack offolllCles WIth a rug
It's th,S whole bad rug thmg that
gets me
Why?
Because It'S lIke dnvmg by a
wreck on the hIghway You have
to slow down to look It ISan urge
you are powerless to resIst
Crumpled fenders and bad rugs
are compellIng m some sort of
SIck,voyeunstlC way that whole
teams of psycholOgISts are unable
to explaIn
You know thIS has happened to
you You re ha"ng a meehng WIth
someone weanng a bad rug and
ALL YOU CAN SEE IS THE
BAD RUG
No matter how hard you try,
you find yourself totally fixated on
the guy's halrlme and why you
can t see the part and why the
haIr m back doesn't match the
haIr on top - to the pomt you
haven t heard a word he or anyone else has SaId
Then you move on to wonder-
mg how thIS guy could leave tile
house and not nohce thIS hImself
(ThIS ISthe same problem that
affects guys who wear plaId
shorts, dark socks and tenms
shoes at the same tIme)
I bnng thIS up not to change
anyone If you are readmg thIS
and are guIlty of wearmg a bad
rug - more power to you You
ob"ously have more self-confidence than I You ob"ously thmk
a bald head ISmore notlCeable
than a bad rug And, you may be
nght (Though I do not find
myself stlltmg at bald heads m
qUIte the same way as bad rugs
DIfferent strokes, I guess)
I'm really lookIng for help How
do you NOT nohce a bad rug?
Are there tncks for 19uonng the
ob"ous? Would It be appropnate
to menhon It? Or, do we all Just
pretend that everythmg ISswell?
I'm sure I wIll be gettmg some
heat for th,S column If not from
the men-WIth-toupees demographIC then from the spokesperson for the Toupee Manufacturers
AsSOCiatIon
In advance - I apologIZe to
them all I cowdn't help myself
Now, If you'll excuse me, I have
to head over to HagopIan to pIck
up a mce lIttle number for my
kItchen

2007 Hyundai Entrourage Is Helping Hyundai To Grow!
Advertzszng Feature
CAReport
By Dale Buss
Up ISdown and down ISup m the auto busmess
these days, aud HyundaJ's new Entourage van ISan
example of why
The 2007 Entourage IShelpmg Hyundal
cement ItS growmg reputatIOn for relIable,
affordable transportatIOn m the Amencan market
It's a worthy first entry m the category that matches
well agamst the best, Honda Odyssey, m areas
mcludmg deSign and dnvabllity And Entourage
actually rates some superlatives It ISthe biggest
and safest vehICle m the entire segment
Yet lromcally - or, perhaps, deliberately -Hyundal has fielded ItSfirst mmlvanJust at the
time wheu GM and Ford essentially have given up
on the segment
There's reason to thmk that Hyundalls the one
makmg the nght bet U S mmlvan sales fell last
year to about 971,000 from about 14 million m
2000, accordmg to Autodata But With fuel
economy mamtaJnmg ItS new positIOn as one of
AmerIcan consumers' most Important CrIterIa In
new car purchases, expect mmlvans lIke Entourage
- With their combmatlOn of good cargo space,
decent road performance and reasonable gas
mileage -to more than hold thelf owu m a market
that has been sounng on big SUVs
First ImpressIOns are tellIng m most vehicles,
and Entourage's are all posItive You hop m, close
the door, look around the cabm, gaze at the
mstrument panel, turn on the IgmtlOn and eveu
dnve a ways, and you d be hard-pressed to tell
yourself you're not m an Odyssey Hyundal has tned
hard to make sure that Entourage redeems Itself
well agamst the few worthy competitors m the
segment
Now, m a vehicle that's meant to get the most
out of a shoebox shape, you can't expect much m
the way of deSign excitement So It doesn't count
agamst Entourage that It strongly resembles the
template created by Chrysler's ongmal mlmvans

There are three seat belts m the thlfd row
Entourage also provrdes plenty of room there for
the legs and feet of actual adults, settmg It apart
from many so-called seven-seaters And when you
need the cargo space mstead, Hyundal came up
With a mfty arraugement It calls the Hideaway, a
slmple-to-use, 60-40-split, fold-mto-the-floor seat
Entourage's trump card may be the lmeup of
safety features that come standard It mcludes SIX
aJrbags, mcludmg Side air curtams for all three
rows of seats Electromc StabilIty Control and an
Antllock Brakmg System are standard as well All of
thiS and more garnered Entourage the federal
government s five-star safety ratmg for front and
rear crashes and the best ratmg ever for a mmlvan
by the Iusurance Institute for Highway Safety And,
of course, Hyundal's mdustry-leadmg, 10-year,
100,000-mlle powertram warranty ISmcluded
Don't be put offby the fact that Entourage
resembles the KIa Sedona, a slblmg vehicle that
went on sale as a mld-2006 model Hyundalls the
leadmg brand here
At prICes between $25,000 and $30,000, It'S
hard to argue that Entourage ISa great buy,
necessarily But for everythmg It offers m an
,
,
Important segment where the chOices have been
o
dWindling lately, It certamly ISa reasonable one

and essentially copied by Odyssey and all others
The biggest deSign difference between Entourage
and Odyssey, for example, ISthat the former's
power Side doors slIde m an exposed slot while
Odyssey's roll m a concealed slot You get the
picture
True to ItSkmd, Entourage doesn't create a lot of
excitement under the hood either Each verSiOn IS
eqUipped With the same 3 8-lIter, Six-cylInder
engme, whICh produces 242 horsepower, and a fivespeed automatic transmiSSiOn With a manual
optIOn Entourage's fuel economy can't escape the
basiC,Wind reslstmg geometry of a mmlVan, and It
IS,after all, the largest entry m the field Yet, at 18
mpg m the Cityand 25 mpg on the highway, It beats
most SUVs Its size
So let's focus where Hyundal put Its focus on the
mSlde of Entourage The nde ISremarkably
comfortable The van's tight turnmg Circle, despite
Its Size,was a pleasant surprise The two-tone cabm
held up well to scrutmy, With good workmanshIp
and Simple, workable deSign throughout
And actually, the further back you go m
Entourage, the better It gets UnlIke Chrysler s
mmlvans With the handy stow-away second-row
seats, Entourage offers only conventiOnal fllp-andfold second-row seats But deSigners smartly made
the most of the rear of the passenger compartment
