PIPELINE
Organizers are looking for volunteers for the Plymouth Township picnic, where Joe Gatzek and Dave Lozier have helped out with the hot dogs.
Help wantedPlymouth Township Trustee
Bob Doroshewitz, who captains the annual Plymouth Township Fourth of July picnic, is looking for help.
According to Doroshewitz, most volunteers for the picnic, scheduled for July 4 at Plymouth Township Park, will work two hours or less, and suitable roles for the volunteers (who should be 13 and older) will be found based on age. Students can earn service credits, and volunteers get a free T-shirt and food. Those who volunteer for four or more hours get special access to the VIP Viewing area at the July 3 township fireworks.
Volunteers are also needed July 3, to help prepare food.
"With apologies to Mark Twain, it's far more fun to work the picnic than to merely sit in the shade eating ice cream," Doroshewitz said. “It's a good family activity to teach kids the importance of community service."
Volunteers can call Doroshewitz at (734) 459-8473 or e-mail bdoroshewitz@plym- outhtwp.org.

'Fresh food, friendly service, good conversation, great value'
BY JILL HALPINCORRESPONDENT
It has been said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Nutritionists even claim that eating a good breakfast starts the day off right by providing fuel and energy for your body.
Many Plymouth residents seem to agree, but for many of them, however, the breakfast ritual is about much more than healthy eating. It is about community, fellowship and friends.
Lucky for them, Plymouth is home to a host of restaurants and coffee shops, many independently owned, offering a wide assortment of delicious, fresh food in addition to friendly service, good conversation and great value. From busy drive-through windows to cozy cafes to elaborate buffets, most local breakfast hot spots boast a regular and growing customer base.
Some are new, hidden jewels, tucked along side streets throughout town. Others have been Plymouth landmarks since the turn of the century. Either way, there is no doubt about it breakfast in Plymouth is a serious and fun business.
A recent Friday morning at Bode’s Corned Beef House in downtown Plymouth found the restaurant’s back room crowded with women eating fresh pancakes and waffles while talking across the room about the Britain’s Royal Wedding. The mood was

Laura Compton got involved with Plymouth’s Relay for Life in 2007, the same year she lost her father, Henry Wayne, to colon cancer.
“That was my motivation, to put my emotions to a positive energy and do something about it,” said Compton, the chairwoman of the local Relay for Life committee. “Hopefully, a family can avoid going through what we did.”
It was the inaugural year for a solo Plymouth Relay — the fundraiser had previ
ously been combined with one in Canton Township — and Luann Andes, owner of the Defining Image Salon in Plymouth, jumped in to organize it. Andes lobbied her customers for their help.
“I got a whole lot of yeses,” said Andes on Friday, recalling how the Plymouth Relay got started in 2007- “We all did it.”
The cause unites people of all ages and backgrounds whose lives have been affected by cancer.
“It’s hard to find someone who isn’t touched by it,” said Compton.

BY MATT JACHMANOBSERVER STAFF WRITER
Don Massey, whose folksy radio commercials helped propel his Plymouth Township dealership to become one of the top Cadillac dealers in the country, died early Friday at the age of 83.
Massey, reportedly in declining health for several years, lived in Northville. No cause of death could be confirmed.
Massey was remembered as a savvy businessman and a friend to the Plymouth area.
“He was a strong busi
nessperson who had some commitment to the local community, and we were able to accomplish some things,” said Jim Anulewicz, the township’s former public services director.
“He was a great friend to Plymouth Township when he owned the dealership, before he sold it,” said Kay Arnold, an 18-year member of the township Board of Trustees.
Starting out with a used- car lot in Detroit, Massey built a chain of new-car dealerships around the country, including the one in the

N E W R E L A Y L O C A T IO NPlymouth’s 2011 Relay, a
fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, is 10 a.m. Saturday to 10 a.m. Sunday on the grounds at West Middle School. It’s the event’s first year at that location.
The walkathon — the idea is to have at least one member of each participating team walking the grounds for the entire 24 hours — will also feature entertainment, refreshments, games, tips on preventing and fighting cancer, and ceremonies to honor those battling cancer and those whose lives it has claimed. The public is invited to walk laps, participate in the memorials, offer moral support to team walkers and enjoy the festival atmosphere.This year’s local Relay has a fundraising goal of more than $78,000. Last year, it netted nearly $75,000, according to Compton.
“It’s going to be a challenge this year but we’re hoping we can make it,” Compton said.Much of the fundraising
takes place ahead of the walking event; there are 19 teams participating this year, ranging in size from just a few members to more than 20.
For Andes, the cause couldn’t be more personal. A cancer survivor herself, Andes lost both parents to cancer, plus two cousins, her father- in-law and her best friend (at age 37). Andes said her own cancer is well under control, but that a younger sister is battling it now as well.
She said she’s not shy about asking for help.
“I tell people, ‘This is my crusade, and if you’d like to jump on, great,’” said Andes. “It’s more personal when it’s in your family.”F IG H T IN G B A C K
The event in Plymouth quickly caught on and has grown every year, Andes,said. “Plymouth really likes to embrace their own, help their own,” she said.
Relay highlights will include the survivors lap at 11 a.m. Saturday, followed by a brunch for cancer survivors; a “fight back” event at 3 p.m., during which participants will pledge to urge family
and friends to, for example, give up smoking, get regular mammograms, and adopt healthier lifestyles; and a luminaria ceremony at dusk Saturday. With a silent lap, a bagpiper and dozens of candles lighted to honor those touched by cancer and those lost to it, the luminaria ceremony is particularly moving, Compton said.
Entertainment will include dancers from the Metro Dance Co., a disc jockey who will play tunes and also act as master of ceremonies, and local Zumba instructor Shyam Thakker, who will lead the crowd through some of the Latin-inspired dance and fitness steps at 5 p.m. Saturday.
“This guy has some energy, and he’s just bringing our community together,” said Andes.

township that still bears his name. He sold his chain of 16 dealerships in 2002.
Anulewicz got to know Massey when the two worked on the clock tower behind the Massey dealership, which doubles as a cellular tower. The tower is now a landmark for the township.
“Without his cooperation, without him agreeing to it ... that would not have happened,” Anulewicz said.
Massey “loved to sell,” Anulewicz said.“He loved the business,” he
said. “He had a knack for it.” When he’d arrive at the
dealership for a meeting regarding the tower project, Anulewicz said, Massey would make a point of tempting him by taking him by the new Cadillacs. “Both of us knew ... that was not going to happen,” Anulewicz said with a chuckle.
Massey also donated money for the baseball field on Plymouth Road at Haggerty, which was named after him, and sold land at Haggerty and
Ann Arbor Road to the township for its new township hall, which opened in 2006.
Masgey’s local radio spots urged listeners to visit his dealership and told them he was “selling Cadilliacs and very, very happy to be doing so.”

Hope for Hunter: Fundraiser to help family struggling with cancer
Hunter Donegan, 10, faces amputation of her left leg after a tumor was detected following a playground fall.
BY BRAD KADRICHOBSERVER STAFF WRITER
When Dale and Pat Bennett took their 10-year-old granddaughter, Hunter Donegan, to urgent care that March Sunday morning, they were sure Hunter’s left leg was still bothering her because of a playground fall she’d suffered two days earlier.But when the doctor came out with the X-ray of Hunter’s leg and said, “We’ve set you up with an appointment at Mott Children’s Hospital,” they knew they were wrong.
When doctors X-rayed Hunter’s leg, they found a large cancerous tumor that was eating away at the bone and urged the family to get to Mott straight away.“(The doctor) didn’t do anything (medically) except an X-ray,” Pat Bennett said. “We couldn’t believe it.”
Pat Bennett made the drive to Ann Arbor that afternoon, and Hunter was diagnosed with bone cancer in her left tibia. A 10-week course of chemotherapy didn’t do much to stem the tide, and left the Bennetts, retirees living on a fixed income, and their 10- year-old granddaughter with a horrible decision: They could insert a tube into the bone and stabilize the leg, or they could amputate from the knee down
and fit Hunter for a prosthetic.The Bennetts, who became legal guardians for Hunter and her 12-year-old brother,
Dominic, gave the facts to their bright, active granddaughter.AW FUL CHOICE
For the little girl who loves to play soccer, ride her bike and swim, the decision was easy after doctors told her soccer wouldn’t be possible with the tube. She decided to let them amputate.
“I really like soccer ... if I had chosen (the tube), I couldn’t do it,” said Hunter, an effervescent Hulsing
Elementary School student. “It was a really easy decision.”Not everything about it has been easy. Hunter sat with her Hulsing classmates and talked about the decision, answering as many questions as classmates needed to ask. And then there was the little girl who bumped into Hunter, causing the fall that eventually led to the diagnosis.
On a card written by her classmates, that little girl wrote, “Hunter, I’m sorry I made you fall and gave you cancer.”
The inscription drove a knife into Pat Bennett’s heart.
“Can you imagine the guilt

that poor little girl was feeling, and (the fall) actually probably saved Hunter’s life,” Pat Bennett said. “We made sure
to talk to that little girl right away.”
It hasn’t been easy for the Bennetts, retirees with medical problems of their own — Pat Bennett has a bad back problem, among other things — living on a fixed income. Their Canton home will need extensive remodeling to accommodate Hunter’s new life. They’ll need a new car, because the one they’ve got isn’t conducive to transporting a wheelchair.A N G E L AM ONG US .
The Bennetts have already sunk pretty much all of their life’s savings into their grandchildren, and money has become a concern.
Lisa Misenko saw that, and decided to help. Misenko’s daughter, Devon, is a classmate of Hunter’s and the youngsters are good friends. Devon Misenko even went so far as to cut off her long red hair to donate to charity to be made into wigs for children with cancer, in honor of Hunter.
Misenko, meanwhile, has organized a fundraiser Thursday at The Crow’s Nest in Canton. The Crow’s Nest
will donate 10 percent of their profits from food and drink that night. There will be T- shirts and wrist-hands — in Hunter’s favorite lime-green and adorned with Hunter’s name — for sale.
A silent auction will also include autographed Red Wing and Detroit Tiger paraphernalia, and a variety of baskets with goodies from places like Zap Zone, Emagine Theater and other local businesses. A 50-50 raffle will also be held.
“They need it, and it’s something I can do,” Misenko said. “Patty and Dale took Hunter and Dominic in seven years ago, and they provided a warm, loving environment. They have a lot on their plate. You have to give back to those in need. It’s what you do.”Misenko’s fundraiser is expecting to be a godsend to the family, and Dale Bennett thinks that’s exactly where Misenko came from.
“Every once in awhile, God dumps an angel in your lap,” Dale Bennett said. “That’s what God did for us with Lisa.”[email protected](313)222-8899

Retirement beckons for PCA chiefBY BRAD KADRICH
OBSERVER STAFF WRITER
This time, it’s for good.David Butler, the head of school at Plymouth Christian Academy, announced he’ll retire with the close of the school year, the second time Butler, who served a total of 13 years at the school, has left.
Butler and his wife, Gail, who has taught at the school for 23 years (most of it as a fourth-grade teacher), decided the time has come.“You know when it’s time,” said Butler, who taught for more than 30 years in the Southfield district before coming to PCA. “It has run its course.”
Butler had been the secondary principal at PCA for nine years before leaving seven years ago when the school’s board decided to “go in a different direction.” That decision didn’t work out as well as officials had hoped and, three years later, Butler came back.
Butler said he left because the “philosophy of the school” had shifted and changes were made. He said the intervening years before his return weren’t easy.
“It was a hard three years... we weren’t ready for retirement at that point,” he said. “Gail and I came back to help stabilize the school, and we did that. Now (the school) is at a point where they can bring someone in, and they have.”
The last 13 years of his career have been different from the first 30. In one graduating class at Southfield, some 1,100 students graduated. PCA, meanwhile, has a total enrollment of some 620 students.
The pupil-student ratio at PCA is a very cozy 14:1.“(Southfield) was very impersonal, more dispens
ing knowledge than actual learning because there were just too many kids,” Butler said. “There’s a lot more personal interest in the kids here. It’s a different world.”
Some of the challenges, though, are the same.PCA has had tough budgetary times, like most schools, In Michigan’s tough economy, many students who wish to go to PCA simply can’t afford it. And PCA teachers, like many public school teachers, end up reaching into their own pockets to help with things like supplies.
“There are a lot of people who want to come here, but they can’t because they’ve lost their job or whatever,” Butler said. “This is a place where their kids are safe.”
It’s also a place where their kids excel. According to Butler, 75 percent of the entire student body is

on the honor roll, and a whopping 88 percent of the junior class is on the honor roll.
“We have a great, very loving staff, and they want to take these high-quality kids and have an impact for eternity,” Butler said. “And the kids themselves have high expectations.”
With all that, the couple looks forward to retirement this time.
“I love the kids, and I love the staff, but it has to stop sometime, and it’s time,” Gail Butler said. “We’re a team. When my husband said he was retiring, I said, ‘So am I.’”
The Butlers aren’t sure what they’ll do with their new retirement.“We’re people of faith, and we trust in God,”
Butler said. “We see how God has worked things out in our lives, so we know it’ll be OK. He’ll have something for us.”bkadrichiShometownlife.com | (313) 222-8899

The last day of school for seniors at the Plymouth-Canton Educational Park could end up being a costly one, though apparently not for any seniors.
As many as 10 or more students — according to district administrators all of them underclassmen — face potential disciplinary actions, which could include a trip to 35th District Court, after a series of incidents that included a food fight in the Salem High School cafeteria Wednesday.The pranks started with students getting into the library and rearranging all the furniture, then escalated into what appeared to be an organized food fight in the cafeteria, before spilling out onto park grounds, where a variety of items — including what appeared to be full plastic bottles of drinking water — started flying across the sky.
Ironically, although it was the last day of school for the seniors, park Principal Bill Zolkowski said none were involved in any part of the fracas.“We’ve identified some of (students) involved, and they’ve been dealt with,” Zolkowski said. “No seniors were involved at all. They were exemplary in every way.”
Many of the others weren’t, and Canton Police who were on hand, as they are every year near the end of school, said the ones who weren’t face stiff penalties. Lt. Scott Hilden, the Canton Police lieutenant charged with overseeing the operation at the park as school nears its end, said there’s an ordinance that specifically prohibits behavior that disrupts the school environment.
Students whose behavior rises to the level of violating that ordinance, once they’re identified by district officials, could face issuance of an appearance ticket that will require them to report to court. Hilden said parents should take note.
“We’ve had some incidents the last few days of food fights, water-bottle throwing, fire alarm activation, etc.,” Hilden said. “We are taking a zero-tolerance approach, and parents need to understand if their child is involved in any way... he or she not only faces significant suspension from the administration, but could also be charged criminally.”
Videos of the food fight and the bottlethrowing turned up quickly on YouTube. In the videos, hundreds of students can be seen milling around outside the school, with the bottles flying through the air. Some students can be heard screaming, others laughing.
Zolkowski said the trouble can be traced to newer students who haven’t yet found their place in the park community.
“We’ll deal with the egregious behavior swiftly and severely,” he said. “We’ve got students who are new to our community. We’ve got to make them feel that this is their home.”
Hilden, who has organized the police supervision at the park the last few years, said the vast majority of the park’s 6,400 students are well-behaved. However, he said, there is a “group of kids who have no respect for authority, for the administration and staff.” The problem, Hilden said, is with that number of children, things can get out of hand.
“The kids seem to think it’s fun and games,” Hilden said. “When you have thousands of people moving around that campus, it becomes dangerous to have this irresponsible behavior.
“We’re dealing with it with the administration, and it’ll come to an end,” Hilden added. “Unfortunately, a lot of kids are going to get in a lot of trouble if parents don’t get them to behave properly. You have a handful of kids making it difficult for the rest of the people up there. Those kids are going to eventually end up with some pretty heavy consequences.”[email protected] | (313) 222-8899

OBSERVER STAFF WRITER
U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, whose recent complaint about the Republican presidential field sparked talk about his own possible White House bid, appeared at a Plymouth factory Wednesday with criticisms of GOP front-runner Mitt Romney.
The remarks came just ahead of Thursday’s campaign appearance by Romney, a Michigan native and the former governor of Massachusetts, at the Senate Coney Island in Livonia.
McCotter told reporters he sees little difference, in some areas, between Romney and President Barack Obama, a Democrat whom Romney hopes to oppose in the fall 2012 presidential campaign. Romney is one of more than a half- dozen contenders and possible con
tenders for the Republican presidential nomination.
“President Obama and Mr. Romney are less rivals than running mates,” McCotter quipped.
Particularly in the areas of health care reform and support for so-called cap-and-trade legislation to combat global warming, McCotter said, the president and Romney have similar views.
But he was coy about his own presidential ambitions when a reporter asked directly about them.
“I’m not here as a potential or current politician, I’m here as a resident of the United States,” McCotter said.NO 2012 DECISION
Later, speaking about a possible presidential run, he added: “I don’t worry about what I will or will not do until I decide to do it.” After a brief press conference, McCotter said he expects
to reach a decision about a presidential run “relatively soon.”
“There’s still time but the window is closing,” he said.
McCotter, a Livonia Republican whose district includes Plymouth and Plymouth and Canton townships, appeared at automotive supplier E&E Manufacturing Co., flanked by Wes Smith, the company’s chief executive officer, and Dr. David Janda, an orthopedic surgeon and health care policy analyst.Smith, whose company makes parts for General Motors Corp. said the domestic automakers’ troubles in 2008 and 2009 “would’ve taken down the whole industry,” because of the its interconnectedness, had the government not intervened.
“Wall Street businesses and their attitude toward manufacturing have destroyed the middle class,” said Smith. If GM and Chrysler Corp. had shut down, Smith said, an estimated 1.4 million jobs would have been lost, on top of the six million manufacturing jobs lost since the year 2000.Romney, a businessman before entering politics and a son of the late George Romney, once the chairman of American Motors Corp. and a former Michigan governor, had advocated for no government intervention as GM and Chrysler Corp. faced bankruptcy.IN TR A -PAR TY RIVALRY
McCotter took issue with recent statements by Romney that suggested that the let-them-go-bankrupt approach was vindicated with the turnaround of GM and Chrysler.
“What you see is a rewriting of history,” McCotter said. Romney didn’t favor the type of structured bankruptcy that GM and Chrysler went through, he said.
When a reporter asked if McCotter would attend Romney’s Thursday event with the same message, McCotter said he wouldn’t, but added: “I suspect that some time we will have a little face time, and I will say the same thing.”
Representatives of the Romney cam
paign could not be reached Thursday or Friday for a response. Two e-mails were not answered, and the voice mailbox for the phone number of a campaign spokesman said it was full and not accepting messages.Janda said he advocates a free-mar- ket approach to fixing the health-care system, and complimented McCotter by saying he’s the only member of Congress he knows of who consults people who work on the “front lines” of the industry.He blasted Romney for the Massachusetts health-care reform law he signed while governor, comparing it to the national health-care reform approved last year. “Whether it’s Obamacare or Romneycare, they’re both cancer,” Janda said.
McCotter, 45, was first elected to the U.S. House in 2002. He is a former member of the Wayne County Board of Commissioners and a former state senator.TURNAROUND 'FRAGILE'
After the event, Smith elaborated on the struggles in recent years of automakers and their suppliers. While 2008 and 2009 were “awful” years for the business, he said, last year was a turnaround year, and he’s optimistic.
However, “The industry is still very fragile,” he warned.
The decline has been dramatic since the year 2000, Smith said. To illustrate, Smith said that between 1962, when E&E was founded, and 2000, just one of its customer businesses went bankrupt. Since 2000, however, 32 customer businesses have gone bankrupt.
“You’ve seen too many people just close up,” he said.
E&E employs about 250 in Plymouth, where it is headquartered, and also has a factory in Athens, Tenn.
Smith said manufacturers need a bigger voice in Washington, and that McCotter is a politician who “understands the importance of manufacturing.”[email protected] | (313)222-2405

Daddy plays doctor inson's delivery drama
BY BRAD KADRICHOBSERVER STAFF WRITER
Yale Yee is not a doctor.But after Thursday’s early
morning trip to the University of Michigan Hospital with his pregnant wife, Michelle Friend, which was interrupted long enough for Yee to deliver the Canton couple’s baby, he just may be able to play one on television.
By Thursday afternoon Mom, Dad and baby Rylan were all resting comfortably. But the day didn’t start that way.
The adventure began when Friend woke Yee around 3:30 a.m. with the words every expectant couple longs to hear: “It’s time.”
Yee woke Friend’s 10-year- old son, Matthew, to let him know his grandmother would be there to take care of him and his 2-year-old sister, Evangeline.
“(Michelle) called the hospital, I called my mom, and woke my son up,” said Yee, a computer technician at the Plymouth-Canton Educational Park.
Then Yee and Friend got into the car and headed for the hospital. Yee heard his wife listening to music, trying to stay calm, counting down from 100.
“I heard her get to 97, and then I heard, ‘Uh-oh,’” Yee said. “She said, ‘Pull over now.’ I was like, ‘Where?’”
But pull over he did. When he checked his wife’s progress, he could see the baby’s head.
After ascertaining the umbilical cord was not wrapped around Rylan’s neck, Yee finished the delivery.
“We had some towels and blankets in the car, thank God,” Yee said. “We wrapped the baby up and put him in his mother’s arms, then drove to the hospital.”
Friend, pregnant with her third child, knew quickly the couple wasn’t going to make it to the hospital — “You just know,” she said — and said her husband was “great” when it came to the delivery.
“Evangeline came fast, in about three hours, so we knew this one would be faster, but I didn’t know it was going to be that fast,” Friend said. “We had run through the (daddy delivery) scenario just in case, and (Yee) was great.”
They made it to the hospital — eventually — but not before the 8-pound, 10-ounce Rylan, who checked in at 20 inches in length, was safely in his mother’s arms.
Did the experience unnerve the new father?
“It happened so fast, there wasn’t time to be scared,” Yee said. “It was an adrenaline rush ... fear didn’t enter my head.”
He paused, then added, “I did notice I was shaking a little bit afterward.”
By Thursday afternoon, the couple was just happy it all turned out well.
“He’s here, and he’s healthy,” Yee said of Rylan. “It’s amazing.”[email protected] | (313) 222-8899

Michigan rains bring leaky basements. But what if this unwelcome harbinger of spring easily could be repaired, without breaking the bank? Mr. Sponge Waterproofing in Novi, an owner- operated company whose roots go back to a family business founded in 1969, offers that alternative.
While many waterproofing efforts are ^eared toward installing drain tiles, most eaks can be fixed using the high-pressure injection waterproofing method that Mr. Sponge specializes in, according to Dean Teaster, one of three company owner- operators who provide all basement repair services.
Things To Know■ Mr. Sponge Waterproofing, based in Novi,
is an owner-operated company that serves all of southeastern Michigan.
■ The Company offers a patented TRX Compressed Swell Plug for do-it-yourselfers with rod-hole Leaks. The product and tutorial videos are available at www.trxplug.com.
■ For more information, visitwww.mrsponge.com or call 800-491-4686."This makes us unique because we don't
try to offer every type of repair," Teaster says. "We offer repairs for the most common leak situations in poured foundation walls." The company developed SP-3, its own unique water- activated polyurethane, in 1996.
"Our specialty is stopping all types of poured wall leaks from cracks, roa holes [holes left after the concrete-forming mechanism is removed by the foundation contractor] and honeycombs [formed pockets of excessive aggregate]. This is where 90 percent of basement leaks occur,"
he says. Most leaks can be fixed in a matter of hours.For do-it- yourselfers,Mr. Sponge now is offering its patented TRX Compressed Swell Plug,which is Mr. Sponge Waterproofing specializes in high-injection waterproofing to fix basementavailable online. i g ^ . a method that repairs 90% of leaks quickly and more cost-efficiently than the drain
tile methods many companies offer, say the owners.Delivering Quality Service
Though they easily could have expanded, Teaster says remaining anowner-operated business with no additional employees - he and business partner Keith Potts do all on-site jobs while Shelley Kunz handles office and administrative duties - is a means of having complete control over the of services delivered. "When we do a repair for a private home-owner, we have to warranty it for a 20-year period," Teaster says. "Doing it ourselves gives us self-assurance that everything is done correctly."
Because many customers begin with phone or online consultations, Teaster says it's important to use experience and care to develop rapport with them.
"It takes many years of education in the business to know now to explain things," he says. "You need to be warm, friendly, have expertise, and take the time to explain the problem properly."Staying Vital
Teaster says the company has stayed vital by developing new products and embracing the latest technology in an effort to make life easy for the customer. Some of
Teaster's insights on good customer service include:• If a solution doesn't exist, invent it.Mr. Sponge offers its patented TRX Compressed Swell Plug to homewoners who want to fix rod-hole leaks themselves. "The new TRX delivers a quick, user- friendly, cost-effective solution and gives the homeowner the best state-of-the art waterproof product available for this rod- hole leak problem," Teaster says.• Make it easy. Mr. Sponge operators offer over-the-pnone consultations and online inspections, requiring the customer to do nothing more than submit photos to its website. If a customer has further questions, Kunz, who handles these inquiries, can call the other owners out in the field.• Sell solutions in addition to services."You have to go above and beyond the norm of today's service industry in order to set yourself apart," Teaster says. "You have to provide a solution. It's outside the scope of your company, then refer them to the appropriate contractor. Be honest, and give the customer not only value for their dollar, but save them money where possible."

Unique menu items include the Bistecca Benedict made with pan-seared beef tenderloin medallions and hollandaise sauce, served with potatoes, a Maryland Crab Cake melt and a “design-your-own” frittata.
•Although Sean O’Callaghan’s, 821 Penniman Ave., Plymouth, (734) 459-6666, only offers its special Sunday brunch three times a year (Easter, Mother’s Day and Christmas) it has become a holiday mainstay for many Plymouth families. The diverse buffet selections range from a smoked salmon platter surrounded by onion, pickled asparagus and capers to a make-your-own bloody Mary bar. Along with the usual breakfast standards, the buffet also features a chocolate fountain as well an extensive pastry table featuring a variety of cheesecakes, mousses and danishes.

light and jovial as jokes with comments on “Royal fashion” were exchanged between tables as customers traded comments on the wedding ceremony.
It was exactly this combination of a comfortable atmosphere and good food that drew Plymouth resident Linda Coughlin and her nieces,Kate Fortunata of New York City and Susan Coughlin of Orlando. Linda Coughlin and her husband, Jay, have lived in Plymouth for over 20 years and visit Bode’s regularly.
“It’s a good place to get together and talk about ‘stuff,’” said Susan Coughlin, a former Plymouth resident in town to visit her aunt and her father. Gazing out the bright window as a train rumbled by, she commented, “It’s a cool place with comforting food.”‘ GOOD FO O D , GOOD P E O P LE ’
Brace cites the homey atmosphere with “good food and good people,” as one of the restaurants winning attributes.
“Rick and his crew are fabulous people to deal with. The workers are happy and seem to like what they do. They treat the customers really well,” Brace said, adding that owner Rick Meacham and his wife, Pam, are “really tuned into the customers.”
Although the Meachams have owned Bode’s for the 40 years, the restaurant has long been a Plymouth landmark dating back some 140 years. Originally built as a hotel in 1868, Bode’s has served as a personal residence and a rooming and revival house prior to becoming a restaurant in 1959.Around the block and down the street in Plymouth’s Old Village sits Crawford’s Kitchen, another husband- and-wife owned restaurant that has also built up a large following of morning regulars. Customers clamoring for distinct breakfast offerings such as chocolate or vanilla custard-stuffed French Toast or the “Old Village Breakfast” featuring eggs, sausage, bacon, ham, home-style potatoes and toast have become a familiar sight for owners Jeff and Ania Crawford of Canton. The Crawfords have owned the restaurant for five years and focus on using in-season local ingredients, Ania Crawford said.
“Our new apple, pecan and blueberry pancakes will be made with buttermilk from the Guernsey Dairy in Novi,” Crawford said. “We make everything right on site,” she said.
Customer Dee Martin of Plymouth visits Crawford’s twice a week for breakfast, and is a big fan of chef Jeff Crawford’s cooking. “The home-style potatoes are wonderful ... everything is always cooked fresh,” she said over a plate of poached eggs and toast, “the usual.”‘ LIK E FAM ILY'
“These people are like family. I feel like I ‘grew up’ with the waiters and waitresses. They’re all so nice,” she said. Just up the street from Crawford’s in Old Village on North Main Street is the Grecian Cafe, a family restaurant with its own loyal following. Many customers note the heavy table settings and thick, bound menu that differentiate the Grecian Cafe.
“It feels like you’re having a really nice meal,” said Rick Brace, who also appreciates the extensive menu selections.
Longtime friends Alice Makara and Nancy Operhall, both of Plymouth, meet frequently for breakfast at the Grecian Cafe and appreciate the friendly service and good food.
“It’s nice and bright and close to home... a great meeting place,” Operhall said. The big portions are always very good, she added.
Extensive menu selections at the Grecian Cafe range from steak and eggs to buttermilk apple pancake to the “kitchen sink omelette,” made with bacon, sausage, ham, green peppers, onions mushrooms, tomatoes, hash browns and three different kinds of cheese.”
Across town off Forest Avenue sits another local favorite, the Omelette and Waffle Cafe, under new ownership. The Omelette and
Waffle Cafe’s easy-to-reach downtown location is popular with locals, as evidenced by the tandem bicycle and stroller on the sidewalk outside the restaurant.
Owners Martin Amin and Jeff Alexander had worked together in restaurants for years and were looking for a place with a “great neighborhood vibe,” when they stumbled across the Omelette and Waffle Cafe.
The pair took over in November 2010, and have made some changes in the restaurant that are garnering attention from customers and
staff alike, said Lisa Yarosz, a waitress that drives in to work daily from Jackson, some 50 miles away.
“It is really worth the drive. These are by far the friendliest people I have ever met, just excellent to work with. You can tell how much they love what they are doing,” said Yarosz.
Just down Wing Street, tucked right off Main Street is one of the newest additions to Plymouth’s restaurant scene, Nico & Vali Italian Eatery. Celebrating their third anniversary in June, this pleasant spot with outside seating also has already developed a
loyal local following due both in part to the great food and pleasant service, said diner Elizabeth Moore, a Plymouth resident.
Moore, who works nearby, frequents Nico & Vali a few times a week, sometimes alone, and other times with co-workers.‘ BES T-K EPT SECRET'
“It’s Plymouth’s best-kept secret. They treat you like family here. I just love it,” Moore said while chatting with waitress Christine McMullen over a plate of eggs and hash brown potatoes.
In addition to standard breakfast favorites such as eggs, bacon and potato pancakes, Nico & Vali offers a few eclectic items that have become fast favorites among patrons.
The breakfast panzerotti, similar to a deep-fried cal- zone, is filled with scrambled eggs, ham and mozzarella cheese. “The dough is much lighted than a typical calzone,” said McMullen.
Breakfast is available 24 hours a day at Zack’s of Plymouth and has long been a morning habit for Plymouth friends Joyce Stevenson and June Karker.
Stevenson and Karker visit the Main Street restaurant at least once a week and appreciate the special senior citizens menu.
“The prices are good and it’s just enough food, especially for a senior,” Karker said. Both she and Stevenson favor the around-the-world breakfast skillets, especially the Polish skillet, which features kiel- basa, potatoes, green peppers and cheese with an egg on top.
“It’s such a relaxed, family atmosphere. They don’t rush you and you don’t feel pressured to hurry up and leave,” said Stevenson. “And they always come around with more coffee,” she added. Both Karker and Stevenson enjoy the staff as mush much as the food, the two agreed.
Arta’s Coney Island Restaurant has been a destination for Plymouth residents Dorcas and Michael Smith for 12 years.
“They make my breakfast the way I like it and it’s fresh,” said Dorcas Smith, adding,“It’s also a great value.”
The Smiths visit Arta’s just about “five out of seven” days a week, citing the friendly, family environment as a plus.“It’s family-run here, and we’ve gotten to know the family. We celebrate all of their babies and graduations right along with them,” she said of the staff. “And the food is delicious, too.”Arta’s menu offers a wide variety of specialty omelets including the “Irish Omelette” featuring corned beef and swiss cheese and the “Hawaiian Omelet” with pineapple, ham and cheese. The restaurant also offers ’’Hungry Man Specials” with eggs, hash browns, toast and meat choices ranging from ham, sausage or bacon.
Across a busy parking lot from Arta’s sits a familiar site to longtime Plymouth residents: Big Boy Restaurant, a Plymouth fixture for the past 35 years.
Big Boy may be a restaurant chain, but managers at the Plymouth location have taken care to personalize the popular breakfast buffet to meet the demands of its regular customers. Many people may be familiar with the traditional Big Boy breakfast buffet, but they will probably be surprised to see some of the unique breakfast additions.
For 25 years, the Cozy Cafe has been a part of the Plymouth restaurant scene, offering a relaxed, homey setting for customers to enjoy a freshly cooked meal, said Jerome Chapman.
Chapman has worked at Cozy Cafe, at Ann Arbor Trail and Forest, for the past five years and said that owners Doug and Beverly Read have created a comfortable environment for diners to “take a break from the hurried lifestyle” while they dine.
“We get a lot of regulars for breakfast,” Chapman said, adding that cinnamon rolls area favorite of many.
The Cozy Cafe’s Cinnamon Roll is legendary around Plymouth: fresh baked giant rolls made with cinnamon, walnuts, raisins and honey about twice the size of regular cinnamon rolls. They are available daily at this downtown
breakfast spot, along with a whole host of other breakfast items including egg specialties such as eggs benedict and eggs florentine, made with fresh spinach and hollandaise sauce.
The Cozy Cafe, on Ann Arbor Trail and Forest Place, offers many other breakfast specials that are popular with regulars including the “Cozy” breakfast, made up of two eggs, three pieces of meat, toast and hash browns and the “Cozy Cafe Special” of two eggs, corned beef hash and the famed cinnamon roll. A variety of omelets including veggie, western and southwest-style round out this breakfast menu.C O FFE E BEAN
The Plymouth Coffee Bean, which bills itself as a “Michigan’s Longest Running Independent Coffee Shop,” has been around since 1993. The unique menu features made- to-order crepes, pancakes, bagels, eggs and other sweets. In addition to coffee and tea, the Coffee Bean also offers a long list of specialty drinks including the popular “Kerry’s Nutty Irishman Latte with Hazelnut and Irish Creme.” Other beverage favorites include the “Honey Luv Latte” made with espresso, milk, and honey and the Goji Glory, a raspberry soy tea latte with extra raspberry flavor.
A longtime favorite meeting place for local music and poetry lovers, the Coffee Bean also has a stage for nightly concerts and poetry readings. Two comfortable patios offer additional outdoor seating in warm weather.
Other breakfast options in Plymouth include both Leo’s Coney Island Plymouth locations, Steve’s Family Dining in the Lake Pointe area and the Red Olive with two restaurants in Plymouth.The Red Olive Restaurant is a relative newcomer to the area and has already developed a solid customer base, said waitress Lynn Amato.
Menu items include originals such as the breakfast burrito, a tortilla filled with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, grilled green peppers, onions, sausage and ham. Other customer favorites include a banana Nutella crepe and the spinach florentine crepe, Amato said.
Customers also seem to appreciate the well-deco- rated, spacious dining room that makes it very accessible for wheelchairs, Amato said. Plans are under way to open an adjoining space for a banquet room to accommodate large parties, she added.
The wide variety of pancakes makes Leo’s Coney Island a morning destination for many in the Plymouth area. Leo’s long breakfast menu features specialty pancakes including banana pancakes, walnut pancakes and chocolate chips among others, each served with ham, bacon or sausage. Patrons mention the warm service and wide, comfortable space at the Ann Arbor Road location.
Over in Plymouth’s Lake Pointe area, Steve’s Family Dining draws a large afterchurch crowd on Sunday mornings in addition to their weekday morning regulars. Breakfasts offering include omelets, French toast and pancakes as well as a daily breakfast special of two eggs, hash brown potatoes, toast and jelly and a choice of bacon, sausage or ham.
Early morning diners in search of a more luxurious twist in breakfast might enjoy 5ive Restaurant, located inside the Inn at St. John’s. They offer both a regular breakfast menu as well as a breakfast buffet seven days a week. Standard buffet items including scrambled eggs, pancakes, French toast are available throughout the week, but the weekend menu is enhanced by the addition of Belgian waffle and omelet stations.

Two Mitt Romneys barnstormed in Livonia today, according to the estimated 200 vocal partisans who turned out for the early front-runner in the Republican presidential primary race.
One Mitt Romney was the savvy businessman whose policies could get set the country on the right economic path, according to Chris Thompson of Farmington Hills. “I hope he makes it,” said the self- described fiscal conservative. “We need him.”
The other Mitt Romney was the man who wanted the auto industry “to die” when Chrysler and General Motors turned to the government for help avoiding insolvency, said Richard Eberhart, of Westland.“Now he comes here looking for votes and cash,” the Ford Motor Co. retiree said.
Michigan Democrats helped organize the protest, state party Chair Mark Brewer said: “We won’t let voters forget he wanted to let Detroit go bankrupt.” Romney didn’t seem to mind the protesters when his entourage arrived at about 8:15 a.m. in a Chrysler 300. “It’s good to be back in Michigan,’ he shouted, plunging into the crowd to sign autographs and shake hands.
“Livonia’s a great Republican city,” he said.“It helped carry my dad into the governor’s office.”
Some protesters carried signs proclaiming, “M itt’s

Six year old Nash McDaniel and his sister Abigail McDaniel, 8 years old, are pretty excited about Mitt Romney's appearance at Senate Coney Island. They were there with their mom, Ronna McDaniel. They live in Northville.

not for the middle class” or “He wanted to let the Big Three go bankrupt.” But an equal number of supporters countered with signs reading, “Michigan loves Romney” and “Michigan needs Romney.”
Romney seemed upbeat, as if buoyed by recent polls showing him seemingly leading his GOP rivals. At least one poll showed him in a statistical tie with President Barack Obama, whose approval ratings recently dropped.
But the son of one-time

Michigan Gov. George Romney continues to draw criticism — from Republicans as well as Democrats. U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter of Livonia, for example, recently criticized Romney for the health care law he
helped pass when governor of Massachusetts.
Some other Republicans say they have misgivings because of Romney’s Mormon religion.
But that criticism hasn’t registered with people like Helen Hall of Livonia. “You parked my car when I attended a tea your mother held in Livonia,” she said, proudly showing the 1962
invitation sent and signed by Lenore Romney. “I liked you then, but I didn’t realize you’d be so successful.”
Her brother-in-law Neal Hall expressed confidence about Romney’s future. “The next time we see him,” the Livonia resident said, “he will be President Romney.”
But Romney needs to get a little tougher on the cam
paign trail, said Hall’s wife Mary. “He needs to he like Donald Trump and go after Obama,” she said.
Not everyone at the Senate Coney Island had a strong opinion of Romney. One patron sat back, drank coffee and observed. “If he’s any good, he’ll win,” said Bob Mills of Livonia. “But I’m pessimistic. I don’t trust any politician.”

The children at the Capuchin Soup Kitchen especially touched Anthony Rugiero Jr. as they waited in line. He had volunteered to serve meals at one of two locations in Detroit after last year’s fundraiser at Antonio’s Cucina Italiana restaurants in Canton, Farmington and Dearborn Heights. Proceeds from the event went to feed the men, women and families.
Anthony, or Antonio as he’s known around his family’s res' taurants, has four “little ones” of his own.
“It was heart wrenching to see the kids come through. They’re so innocent. I don’t

Rita Rugiero and her son, Anthony, Jr., with a statue of St. Antonio.
This year, more than ever, the Rugiero family is determined to make the June 13 fundraiser a success. For the last 18 years, they have celebrated the Feast Day of St. Anthony de Padua by donating proceeds from their restaurants to various charities.
This Monday, the Capuchin Soup Kitchen is the sole recipient.
From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., supporters choose from a lunch buffet of pastas, pizza and authentic Italian dishes for a donation, or order from the regular menu (11 a.m. to 10 p.m.) knowing that a portion of the proceeds help feed the hungry.“We even added soup in recognition of the good work the Capuchins do at the kitchen,” Rugiero said. “We will have items like pizza, a variety of pastas like mostaccioli and covatelli and gnocchi with Rita, my mom’s sauce, stuffed shells, meatballs, mini cannolis, salad and bread, and also vegetarian.”FULL HOUSE
Last year’s celebration drew a full house to the restaurant named after his father and St. Antonio. Anthony Sr. and Rita grew up in Italy hearing about the saint as Catholics. They later passed their strong faith and beliefs on to their children.
Today, Rita and sons Anthony Jr., Patrick, Mark and Robert not only continue to serve authentic Italian food, but support the community. The family has a long history of giving back. In the last 18 years, they have donated money to PIME Missionaries (Pontifical Institute for
Foreign Missions), diabetes research at the University of Michigan, Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, leukemia and lymphoma and shelters.
“We had a lot of people calling and say we love the Capuchins,” Rugiero said.“St. Antonio is my favorite saint and a Franciscan and known for feeding the poor. Capuchins are Franciscans. It only makes sense we support them.”
Brother Jerry Smith, executive director of the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, will once again be on hand to thank patrons for their support. He spent the entire day at the Canton location last year.
The money goes to support programs of the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, including two soup kitchens, food pantry and programs that treat substance abuse, provide work opportunities for adults, tutoring for children and fresh produce for families through the Earthworks Urban Farm.
“Were best known for feeding people, but do so much more,” Smith said. “Were trying to move people beyond the need for the kitchen, training people in urban farming and at the bakery to become more self-sufficient.”
Last year, Smith said he felt a special bond with the celebration to honor St. Anthony.
“St. Anthony is a Franciscan saint, keeping in line with our Franciscan tradition which has always been to work with poor people, hungry people,” Smith said. “We have a history of walking with common ordinary people.”
Smith is grateful for the generosity of the Rugiero family and their patrons.
“We were very pleased last year. We have very faithful supporters, the people who live in the areas of Antonio’s restaurants,” Smith said. “We’re proud of the fact our budget is $7-5 million every year and none comes from government. We’re extremely grateful to benefactors who make that
possible.”To encourage the success
of the fundraiser, Rugiero has decided to add dates for organizations that shared the proceeds with the Capuchin Soup Kitchen last year. On Oct. 6, the restaurant will donate $2 for every pizza sold to Shades of Pink, a nonprofit to help survivors of breast cancer. On Nov. 5, the family holds Rugiero Casino Royale to benefit diabetes research at the University of Michigan. Anthony Sr. died of the disease in October 2008. In his memory, his sons established the Antonio Rugiero Sr. Diabetes Research Fund.
“We want to help find a cure,” the younger Rugiero said. “It’s going to be a very lively and elegant night with strolling food stations at the Italian American Club in Livonia with different restaurants and businesses coming like Cantoro’s Italian Market.”
A July 1-3 weekend Salutes Our Heroes and was Robert’s idea. Members of the U.S. armed forces receive 50 percent off entrees when they present military ID. The Gelato Festival July 5-10 rewards all patrons with free gelato. The family brought machines from Italy to make the authentic ice cream.
“In these times, people need to know there’s good and hope,” Rugiero said.The St. Antonio fundraiser runs from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. with the buffet from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, June 13. The restaurant offers three locations: 2220 N. Canton Center Road, (734) 981-9800:37646 W. 12 Mile, Farmington Hills (248) 994-4000; and 26356 Ford, Dearborn Heights (313) 278-6000.

Many people are wrongly rejected when they apply for Social Security Disability benefits.Money was taken out of their paychecks for Social Security taxes to ensure that they would receive disability benefits if they could no longer work full-time. Sadly, the government denies approximately 60% of those who apply for disability benefits.
Attorneys J.B. Bieske and Jennifer Alfonsi have 42 years combined experience representing only Social Security disability clients. And they personally meet with all clients and appear themself at all court hearings. Many large firms assign inexperienced attorneys to your case. And some of these firms are located thousands of miles away and only fly the attorney in the day of the court hearing. Attorneys Bieske and Alfonsi have vast experience before local Michigan judges.Attorneys Bieske and Alfonsi can often make a winning difference at the application stage. And, if
an appeal is necessary they have won several hundred cases before a court date is even set.
Those denied can appeal on their own but statistics for many years reveal that those represented by attorneys win a much higher percentage of appeals. And attorneys who specialize in Social Security Disability cases win a much higher percentage yet.
In addition to practicing only Social Security disability law
attorney Bieske has written a book for attorneys about the subject and has been interviewed on various television programs. Both attorney Bieske and Alfonsi have also been interviewed on radio programs and have given speeches to many groups.
Attorneys Bieske and Alfonsi offer free phone or office consultation.If they represent you, there will be no fee charged until after the case is won. The fee is a percentage of retroactive benefits.
Bieske and Alfonsi represent clients from all over the state of Michigan. Their Livonia office is on Six Mile Road just west of I- 275. Their Novi office is located on Haggerty Road just north of 12 Mile Road. Call them at 1 -BOO- 331 -3530 for a free consultation if you have been denied, or if you are thinking of possibly applying for Social Security benefits.

Calling all karaoke gurus and all of you singing-in- the-shower wanna-be’s — it’s Farmington Idol, coming to you live, from the Family Stage at this summer’s Downtown Farmington Founders Festival.
Auditions are open this year to anyone in Metro Detroit who is at least 14 years of age and they’ll be taking place starting at 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 14 at Zap Zone Fun Factory on Grand River at Orchard Lake in Farmington. Those who make it to the final round will perform on the Family Stage at the Founders Festival, starting at 6 p.m. on Friday, July 15.
Those who audition will receive a T-shirt and will sing a 90-second acapella piece in front of a panel of judges. The top 10 will move on to Friday’s final round. All contestants must be amateurs. Finalists must submit a prerecorded tape or CD, no longer than three minutes in length, to the sound crew one hour prior to Friday’s competition.
A new panel of judges will be on hand for the final round to pick the 2011 Farmington Idol winner, who will walk away with a basket of goodies from the downtown merchants, along with a hotel stay and dinner for two, plus other gifts. The audience will select the People’s Choice winner

by casting their $1 votes in the container of their favorite singer. The People’s Choice gets to keep the cash that’s in his or her container and all other proceeds will go to the festival.
To apply, stop by Zap Zone, 31506 Grand River, to pick up an application or visit www. zap-zone.com to download one, then return it to Zap Zone. The deadline to apply is July 10.Community event
Mary Johnston, group events coordinator at Zap Zone, said they’re happy to be involved in Farmington Idol again this year.“It’s a community event,” she said. “I like to be able to foster the musical talent in the community. It’s a perfect fit to be a host of an event like this.”
Jenny Fernandez, 18, a 2011 graduate of Harrison High School, won the 2010
Farmington Idol competition with her rendition of Beautiful Disaster by Kelly Clarkson.
Fernandez, who will major in vocal performance at Baldwin-Wallace College, near Cleveland, said she likes that the Farmington Idol competition is held during the Founders Festival.“It’s a hometown thing,” she said. “And, it’s a really great chance to showcase the talent here in Farmington.”
Fernandez will not compete this year. She’ll be staying busy with projects such as recording with a Christian techno dance group called God’s DJs.
Angelica Payne, 17, of Farmington Hills, who won last year’s People’s Choice, will enter Idol for the third time.“I just love to perform,” she said. “That rush that you feel
when you’re up on stage. You’re singing a story for everybody.”
Payne, a 2011 Farmington High School graduate, sang in her school’s choir and she competed in Miss Oakland County Outstanding Teen and the
Miss Farmington pageants.Michelle Vennix, who grew
up in Farmington and now lives in Wixom, will run this year’s Farmington Idol. She’s learning from the best — Ginny Morris, who brought
the event to Farmington and has run the show each year.
“Ginny’s always helping people, so I thought I’d help her out,” said [email protected]|(313) 222-2369

Wednesday’s Division 1 girls soccer regional semifinal between Canton and Grosse Pointe South essentially was a tale of two corner kicks.
Both went against the Chiefs, as the Blue Devils won 1-0 at Dearborn Edsel Ford to advance to Saturday’s Dl regional final against Ann Arbor Pioneer.
Canton had a glorious scoring chance just six minutes into the contest. Senior forward Liz Ferrill sent a corner kick from the right corner across the Blue Devils’ goal box where junior midfielder-defender Robyn Mack was ready.
Mack’s header clearly had Grosse Pointe South goalkeeper Joanna Manos beat, but the ball clanked off the left post.
Just three minutes later, with about 31:30 to go in the first half, Blue Devils senior Sarah Ventimiglia chipped in the rebound of Claire Deboer’s comer kick and that goal stood up the rest of the night.
“We always struggle with defending corner kicks, free kicks, anything,” Mack said. “We need to communicate better on those. She kicked it in, we got it out, but we didn’t stay on our marks the second time and the girl was just wide open and hit it in.
“We kind of waited for it and didn’t go to the ball and didn’t get the clear.”
According to Ventimiglia, she was able to get into an open area behind Canton defenders to volley home her shot past

Fast-trackingNew leader board giving athletes unique Park ‘place’
BY TIM SMITHOBSERVER STAFF WRITER
The three high schools at the Park have enjoyed top-level rivalries in track and field ever since Plymouth joined the campus nearly a decade ago.
And now, they’re upping the ante thanks to spiffy new Plymouth-Canton Educational Park leader boards for the six boys and girls track and field programs.
The separate boards for boys and girls adorn the back side of the varsity football scoreboard.
Posted in red (Canton), blue (Salem) and silver (Plymouth) are names and their corresponding record-setting times and distances.
“I would like to get some of the
blue off there, that’s for sure,” joked Plymouth junior Reagan Engstrom, on the leader board for her 10-foot, Si- inch mark in the pole vault set in 2010. “There’s a little bit too much up there, I think we (Wildcats) can do it.”
Salem senior Dan Martin, whose time of 48.3 seconds in the 400 dash just eclipsed the Park record held by Canton junior Kevin Buford (48.6), likes having all schools represented on the new boards.
“Each school still has their own record boards in their school,” Martin said. “I was up on that one four times, I was happy about that, too.
“But this is the real board, here at the Park, so everyone knows what’s going on.”
THE PLACE TO BEThe leader boards, which were fund
ed by all six Park track programs and their corresponding booster clubs, definitely are located in a high-traffic area.
All spectators going to high school football games this fall will walk right past the roll call of excellence.
“It really gives the community a visual thing,” said Canton veteran boys track and field coach Bob Richardson, “so kids can look at it and say ‘I want my name on there before I get out of here.’”
“All three schools... red lettering if a Canton record, blue lettering if a Salem record and silver lettering if a Plymouth record ...

'Cats back in Dl finals
BY TIM SMITHOBSERVER STAFF WRITER
At the beginning of this season, Plymouth’s varsity boys golf team began taking aim at one goal — to again compete at the state finals.
The Wildcats hit the target beautifully, finishing second at Thursday’s Division 1 regional at University of Michigan Golf Course in Ann Arbor.
Plymouth tied for the second spot with 330 pins, trailing regional champion Ann Arbor Huron’s 316 cumulative card.
Also fin-ishing with BOYS GOLF330 strokeswere Saline and Livonia Churchill, but the Wildcats won the tie-breaker, said head coach Chris Moore.
According to Moore, it was a total team effort and he knew it would have to be for the Wildcats to make it to their second straight state finals.
“In our team meeting prior to teeing off,” Moore recalled, “I stressed to each one of the kids how important each shot is and the likelihood that it will probably come down to our fifth man.”
That really was the case because of how the afternoon went.
“The course played very tough today.” Moore noted. “It was windy, tough pin positions, fast greens and it was long.”
Leading Plymouth with an 18-hole score of 80 strokes was junior Josh Heinze, followed by senior Justin Bauer (82), sophomore Ryan Rieckhoff (83), sophomore Kyle Rodes (85) and

Canton Cup 'team' deserves medal for nettlearryl Noel’s first year as director of the huge undertaking known as the Canton Cup
soccer tournament seemingly had enough mud-covered pitfalls to last
the next decade.But the Canton
resident takes great solace in knpwing he and his devoted tournament staff survived the Great Endless Rain of 2011 relatively unscathed and ready to get right back to work on the
2012 event.“I feel like I’ve been tempered
through all the tough decisions,” said Noel.
In essence, navigating through this spring’s choppy waters can only ensure smooth sailing next time around.
A soccer-loving community certainly hopes so.
Noel’s first crack at the Canton
Cup steering wheel tested his resolve from the start — and he came through steady and undeterred.
For anybody scoring at home, the May 27-29 tournament was hindered by bad weather even before the opening games started all across the township.
On the eve of the Canton Soccer Club’s 29th annual tournament, Noel’s team of volunteers found out 13 of the 68 fields were unplayable.
Add to that mess the loss of major chunks of parking and the fact about 781 teams from the Midwest and Canada were coming to Canton expecting to get their money’s worth (namely three games each).
The Canton Cup team completely
revamped the schedule, allowing for the loss of viable fields. Shuttle buses were brought in to help move people to and from Independence Park.
And finals originally set for Sunday were pushed back to Memorial Day.
“We’ve had a really good opportunity for our team to come together and honestly, to a person, they’ve amazed me,” said Noel before the first day of games began, about the new-look schedule.NO CHOICE
But then the rain kept falling and well-manicured grass fields morphed into slippery mud.
By Sunday evening, May 29, there were reports of fast-approaching thunderstorms and even tornados.
Knowing how far some teams had traveled to compete in the largest club-based soccer tournament in Michigan (Ndel later said he found

out this year’s Canton Cup was the biggest in the U.S.), the director wanted to keep the games going.
Noel huddled with his staff about halting remaining Sunday evening games and resuming play on Monday,May 30 (the tourney rain date).
Unfortunately, a player slipped and broke his hip right around the time those weather reports were getting nastier.
At that point, it was time to pull the plug and cancel the rest of the tournament. It was the only call to make.
“It comes down to the experience,” Noel emphasized. “We didn’t want to have people coming away injured from the Canton Cup.”
He said most folks did leave happy, to a certain degree considering finals were wiped out.
“We got in 1,050 games played to completion,” Noel stressed. “Another 140 games were halted and were not completed or not played Sunday.
“... It was amazing that we were able to play all those games, with a 100-year rain and it being the largest tournament in the nation.”
Over the past couple weeks, Noel and his crew have been busy tying up any loose ends:
• There have been $25 refunds sent to 166 teams that did not get the full, three- game experience promised at the time of registration — as well as a $50 discount for the

Services fields damaged during the tournament (such as those at Heritage, Freedom and Independence) have been repaired and rolled.
• Common grounds within neighborhoods near Independence have had landscaping done with all costs picked up by the Canton Cup tournament.
“The feedback has been 98 percent positive about how we’ve handled the tournament,” Noel said.CLEAN SLATE
As tough as things got, because of what one coach called “an act of God,” Noel' and his team undoubtedly now want to jump right back into

the fray.And why wouldn’t they?
Anybody connected with the 2011 Canton Cup anticipate the 2012 tourney being bigger, better and much drier.
That would mean championships would be decided on the field instead of the way winners and finalists were decided this year — from a statistical breakdown of head-to-head action, pool play and other tiebreakers.
But first- and second-place finishers were indeed decided. There is hardware.
Noel said trophies for bracket winners and finalists are available for pickup at the Canton Soccer Club office inside High Velocity, located at 46245 Michigan Ave. Trophies not picked up will be shipped to teams. (Most teams have collected those trophies as of Friday, but more need to be picked up.)
Meanwhile, there should be a leftover trophy somewhere for Noel and his team.

CHIEFSFROM P A G E B1
MARTYSCHENDEL
Celebrates their district soccer win over Salem on May 31 are Canton sophomore Natalie Schmidt (No. 18), seniors Melanie Pickert (No. 14), goalkeeper Kayla Bridges (orange jersey), Rachel Rohrbach (No. 2, right) and junior Kalyn Berinti (No. 11) after Berinti scored the game-winning goal. The Chiefs season ended Wednesday night in the regionals.
T h e y c a n 't b e lie v e it 's all o v e r
Chiefs senior goalkeeper Kayla Bridges.“She (Bridges) got a hand on it, but it
went in,” Ventimiglia said. “It was good positioning on all our parts.”
Ventimiglia added that it was the first time during her four seasons with the Blue Devils that the team got past the regional opener.
“We’ve been this far but we’ve never won this game in my four years,” she said. “So this is exciting.”UNABLE TO FINISH
It wasn’t so much for the Chiefs (12- 6-2), who could not sustain the strong play shown during district victories over Salem, Plymouth and Northville.
The Chiefs did play better in the final 40 minutes, to no avail.
With about 20 minutes left in the second half, junior Alexandra Bryden moved the ball up the middle and sent a pass over to Ferrill along the right side of the 18-yard box.
Ferrill then delivered a perfect crossing pass over to junior forward Gabby Malec who headed the ball at the left post. But Malec’s attempt barely missed the goal, bouncing wide of the net.
“Other than that, everything was over or wide or right to her.” Canton head coach Jeannine Reddy said. “The first half we didn’t possess the ball, they did.
“Second half we did possess the ball, we just did not shoot. You can’t score if you don’t shoot.”
Injuries might have played a role in the defeat, with senior standout defender Melanie Pickert playing despite a badly sprained left ankle.
Also, junior forward and offensive sparkplug Allyson Krause missed about eight minutes of the second half after being felled by leg cramps.
But when Krause was on the field, the Blue Devils repeatedly impeded her path in their zone.
“(Deboer) got her every single time,” Reddy said. “They knew to mark her, and every single team’s the same way.
“But it frustrated her and we never really challenged their goalie.”[email protected]

Melanie Pickert sat in a golf cart next to the soccer field following Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to Grosse Pointe South in the Division 1 district semifinals.
Pickert peeled off layers of tape from her injured ankles and sometime this week will hand over her red and white uniform, signalling the close of her four-year varsity career at Canton High School.
“I want to say thanks to all the girls,” said Pickert, who will play soccer at Iowa next season. “I feel like I should be playing tomorrow (Thursday). Now I have to turn this stuff in for the last time.”
Pickert, also an outstanding player for Canton’s varsity girls basketball program — which reached the state semifinals in 2010 and 2011 — again showed why Iowa recruited her.
She is an obvious gamer, playing at what appeared to be close to full speed despite the sprained left ankle she suffered in Saturday’s district championship win over Northville. Canton first-year head coach
Jeannine Reddy estimated that Pickert played all 80 minutes on a hot, humid evening despite only being about 75 percent physically.
The coach added that it will be tough to say so long to a group of accomplished senior athletes, including goalkeeper Kayla Bridges, Rachel Rohrbach, Madelyn McLean, Liz Ferrill, Janine Kozlowski and Jennifer Learst.
“I coached most of them at the JV level and I got them back as seniors,” Reddy said. “And they’re a great group of kids. I really wanted them to go further, for them. They deserved it, Mel and Kayla and all of them.”
One key player who will be back in 2012, junior defender Robyn Mack, talked quietly about the end of an era.
“They made this team what it is,” Mack said. “Next year we’re going to struggle without them. Hopefully, we’ll be just as good. But Melanie, Maddie, Rachel, Kayla ... all of them have been some part of this team and it’s going to (stink) not having them on the team next year.”[email protected]
FAST-TRACKFROM P A G E B1
“All I know is we’re happy that we have recognition for all athletes on campus.”
The unique boards were up for public perusal last month, when Plymouth-Canton Educational Park hosted the Division 1 regionals.
Among those spearheading the project was Plymouth girls track and field coach Ricky Styes, who said he posted photos of all three individual school’s leader boards in 2010 on his team’s website. Those boards are located in gymnasiums.
“Then we (coaches) started talking about how we have a unique situation here,” Styes explained. “That we have three schools that compete and practice on the same facilities.
“And while we are three different schools we kind of function as one, and it’s kind of unique that we can have all three schools represented on one record board.”
On Thesday, a handiul of PCEP athletes — who either already are on the board or soon will be — gathered to talk about having such a special place, literally, in the district’s track and field heritage.MEASURE OF EXCELLENCE
“It’s nice to know that you’re going to be remembered,” said Canton senior All-Stater Nick Alaniva, “because your name’s going to be up there and people are going to be walking by it and they can look up and see ‘Oh, Nick Alaniva has the pole vault record.’”
Alaniva’s mark of 15-feet, 1- inch broke the record held since 1979 by Salem alum Dennis Ogden (14-10).
“It’s been there for a while and it’s a great record,” said Alaniva, who graduates Sunday. “But it feels good to kind of have your school record and then have kind of a community record because the whole community recognizes you then.”
Salem freshman Kayla Kavulich will be going up on the board for establishing a new standard in the 1,600-meter run (5:08.6).
That time eclipsed the 1993 record of 5:13.8 set by Canton’s Lana Boroditsch.
With three more seasons to go, the 14-year-old Kavulich realizes she cannot rest on her laurels.
“I love that it’s more to build on as I continue throughout the rest of my three years in high school,” Kavulich emphasized. “That I have something to go for.”
Kavulich also spoke like a senior when discussing what the leader board represents.
“It means so much more, it’s between three schools, it’s 6,000 kids,” she said. “And it’s more than that because of all the years that have gone on here.
“Basically, it shows that you beat this record that so many kids have had the opportunity to get and you finally got it.”VERIFICATION
Plymouth sophomore Madi Lewis already had a spot on the board for setting a record in the 200 dash in 2010, with a time of 25.7 seconds. She re-broke her own record this spring with a 25.6 finish.
Meanwhile, Lewis shares co- billing in the 100 hurdles, with her 2010 time of 15.1 seconds equaling the original record set in 1990 by Salem’s Jennifer Harris.
And Lewis, with a recent time
of 12.0 in the 100 dash, shattered the former mark of 12.1 set in 2002 by Canton’s Christina Redd.
“It’s pretty cool that you see other people’s names and some of the records are like from 1993 and I wasn’t even born yet,” Lewis said. “So it’s kind of crazy to think that I broke a record that had been there for that long.”
What’s not so crazy is how accomplished a two-sport athlete she is.
Her best sport, in her own estimation, is soccer. But she chose to do track this year while still playing for the Livonia- based Michigan Hawks club soccer team.
“It means a lot because my first sport isn’t even track, it’s soccer,” Lewis said. “So to be able to show I can be this strong in two sports is a big thing for me.”ROOM AT THE TOP
Her Plymouth teammate, Engstrom, said it means more for athletes from the newest school on campus to share top billing with those from Canton and Salem — both schools around since the 1970s.
“I think it’s a really big accomplishment because Salem and Canton have both been around for a really long time,” Engstrom said. “There’s records up there from the ’80s so I think it’s a really big accomplishment to break a record from that long ago.”
She laughed about making sure her name stays up for at least as long.
“I would love to get into the 11s next year and that’s definitely my goal,” Engstrom said. “I think that would be pretty hard to break.”
That kind of brashness and school pride is what coach Styes likes to hear.
“For us, being a younger school, our discus record just got broken this year and it’s 45-feet shorter than the Park record,” Styes said. “So for Madi and Reagan and even Kelly Hahn (2007 record, 3,200 run) to be up there it gives a little bit of legitimacy to their records.
“Reagan can say it’s not eight years of history that I represent, it’s 45 years of history that I represent.”BUILT-IN MOTIVATOR
Having a high-profile barometer also could raise the bar when athletes set personal goals.
“It’s a great motivator,” Styes said. “We can come out here during practice and say ‘Let’s forget about the school records, we want to go for the Park records.’”
Board or no board, bragging rights always have been part of the equation at PCEP, however.
Salem’s Martin already was on the Park board in the 800 run and 1,600 relay. Now, his name will replace Buford’s for the No. 1 spot in the 400 dash.
“Yeah, I have (talked to Buford about it),” Martin said. ‘We’re friends off the track. He knows but he respects me. We were cool with each other off the track.“He knows me, and we’re both fast guys. The fastest guy wins.”
Indeed, Martin is soaking in his latest accomplishment.But he knows full well that his Canton friend has one more year to grab the top spot back from him. Keeping tabs on that kind of jockeying for position could become the latest spectator sport at Plymouth-Canton Educational [email protected]

FIRST-TEAM INDIVIDUALTrisha Jordan, Jr., N.
Farmington, (shot put): Jordan won the OAA White Division crown with an area-best throw of 36-7, which puts her fourth on the North Farmington list of all-time bests. She is the OAA White champion in the discus and was fourth at the regional. She ranks ninth all-time in the discus (107-5). Jordan is the city champion in both events.
“With some hard work, conditioning and weight training, Trisha should have another big year next year,” coach Bill Pinnell said. “Next year, she will not fall short of her goal of qualifying for the state meet.”
Teresa Wojnarowski, Sr., Liv. Ladywood (discus): The senior uncorked the area’s top throw (118-7) at the Stevenson Invitational, breaking a 14- year-old school record.
Wojnarowski was also Catholic League A-B Division champion, runner-up at the Division 2 regional and placed 11th at the state finals.
She also went the state finals as a junior in the 4 x 400 relay, which placed runner-up and earned first-team All-Observer honors.
“Teresa could really compete in any of the track events,” Ladywood coach Alice Ahearn said of the team MVP. “She is an excellent overall athlete.She is most valuable because of her leadership skills, work ethic, not to mention the points she contributes to the team. She has been an absolute pleasure to coach for the past three years and I will miss her.”
Aaron Howell, Soph., Farmington (high jump): In her first year of track and field, Howell placed third in the high jump (5-6) at the state meet and was first-team, all-state. She also qualified in both hurdle events and placed seventh in the 100 hurdles. At the regional, Howell won the high jump and was second in both hurdles. Some have already compared her potential to that of former Farmington all-stater and University of Michigan hep- tathlete Bettie Wade.
“Aaron enjoyed one of the best sophomore seasons in FHS track and field history,” coach Charles Bridges said. “She was a key team member, competing in four events in almost every meet. Aaron had a great day at the state meet. For a first-year hurdler to advance all the way to the finals, that was awesome.”
Lindsay Lipa, Sr., Canton (long jump): The senior capped a stellar high school career with a fourth-place finish in the long jump at the Division 1 state meet at Rockford High School, with a mark of 17-feet, 4.25- inches.
What made the accomplishment even more stunning was Lipa never competing in the long jump until late during this season. Her debut in that event was at the KLAA meet, where she placed second with a 17-2 mark.
“She was able to pick up long jump so quickly because she is a tremendous athlete and a fast learner,” said Canton cocoach Brad Waidmann. “She is one of the rare athletes that you can teach any event and she instantly does it exactly how you taught her.”
The co-captain, who will run at Cornerstone University next year, also was an outstanding performer in the high jump at 400-meter relay this season.
Alex Kitz, Jr., Liv. Stevenson (pole vault): The junior earned eighth-place honors at the Division 1 state finals and achieved the area’s top mark at 10-9.
Kitz, the team leader in points and MVP, also was Kensington Conference, regional, West Bloomfield and Spartan Invitational champion.
“Alex is a special person,” Stevenson assistant coach Mike Brubaker said. “It is not very often that an athlete comes along with the drive and determination she displays. Her ability to master the small things has led her to some great achievements. It was a lot of fun to watch her compete this year and I am anxious to see just how good she is going to be in her senior season.”

COACH O F T H E Y E A R Mark Babcock, Farmington Harrison
(100 hurdles): Sims is the Division 1 state champion in the 100-meter hurdles with a 14.1 time, and she also placed seventh in the 300 hurdles.She is the OAA White and regional champion in the 100 and 300 hurdles. Sims was first and third in Oakland County, respectively.
“Laticia and Tiera (Parker) are two of the best Harrison has to offer,” coach Mark Babcock said. “They’re humble and hard working. They represent what everybody would want to look up to. They’re two of Harrison’s finest. It’s a privilege to have kids like that. They showed this year you can build a team around kids like that.”
Pia Klein, Sr., Liv. Franklin (300 hurdles): The senior exchange student from Neunkirchen Germany did it all this season for Patriots as she finished eight in Division 1 state meet in the long jump and earned the area’s top jump (school- record 17-6.5).
“She was a big point scorer on a team that really needed another impact person to step up this season,” Franklin coach Dave Bjorklund said. “Whenever the team needed her, she always came through. She set a goal of being all-state this season and accomplished that goal.”
Klein also had the area’s second best time in the 300 hurdles (school-record 46.02) and was a state qualifier in the high jump (5-4).
Klein was the regional champ in the 300 hurdles and high jump, along with conference and PSL champion in the high jump and long jump.
“Pia is a terrific young lady,” Bjorklund added. “I had the good fortune of having her in my AP Calculus class, on the regional champion cross country team and on the track team.
“She is one of the fiercest competitor’s I have ever encountered, and really knows how to ‘bring it’ to a field or running event.”
Madi Lewis, Soph., Plymouth (100 dash): It hasn’t taken Lewis long to make a big impact at Plymouth.
The sophomore already owns the PCEP mark in the 100 dash with a time of 12.0 seconds and school records in the 200 (25.6), 400 (57-5), and
-800 relay (1:54.4).Determined to surpass her
personal bests each time out, Lewis also was stellar all season as anchor of the Wildcats’ 1,600-meter relay team —which finished first at the KLAA and regional meets.
Lewis earned a conference championship in the mile run as well as regional championships in the 400, 800 relay and 1,600 relay.
“Her most impressive attribute as a runner is that she ‘hawks’ down other runners like no athlete that I have ever seen, boy or girl,” Plymouth coach Ricky Styes. “ In the 4 x 400 at the conference, regional, and state meets, Madi got the baton anywhere from 20 to 70 meters behind
the leaders of the race, and in every occasion she ran down the team in first place to win the race.
“That is something that cannot be coached, it is simply her desire to compete that allows her to do that.”
The 1,600 relay team placed 14th at the state meet with a 4:03.28 finish.
Tiera Parker, Jr., Farm. Harrison (200): Parker scored at the Division 1 state meet for the second straight year, finishing sixth in the 200. She placed in the 100 last year and qualified again this year. Parker was the OAA White and regional runner-up in the 200, and she was fourth in Oakland County. She owns the school record of 24.3.
Including sprint relays, Parker is accustomed to running multiple races and “prepares herself for it,” Babcock said. “To be honest, she wouldn’t have it any other way. If you ask Tiera: ‘Do you want to run all of them?’ ‘Yep.’ There’s no question about it, whether she can or wants to; she just does. She’s a great track athlete and a great team athlete as well. Both she and Laticia are.”
Cherie Gaines, Sr., N.Farmington (400): Gaines finished eighth at the D-l state meet for the second year in a row. She ran faster (57-20) and broke the school record she set last year (57.92). Officially, her adjusted FAT at state drops to 56.8. She was second in the OAA White and regional, and she was third in Oakland County. Gaines, who also excelled in the 200 dash and relays, has a full ride to Indiana Tech.
“Cherie was hampered with different physical ailments throughout the season,” coach Pinnell said. “It was great to see her finally drop under 60 and qualify for the state meet.
“Our goal this year was to move up to the top places. Looking back at all she has overcome this season, it was quite an accomplishment to finish eighth and run a career best time.”
Gabby DeFlorio, Jr., Farmington (800): DeFlorio was a state qualifier in the 800, running her best time and a school record in that meet (2:17). The junior was a regional champion in the 1,600 and 800 runs, and she also helped the ■ second-place Falcons win the3.200 and 1,600 relays.
“Gabby had another remarkable season, garnering school records in five events — the3.200 relay, 1,600 relay, 3,200, 1,600 and 800,” coach Bridges said. “Gabby has the two qualities that all great runners share — speed and work ethic. In this year’s state meet, she competed in three events, all of which broke school records.”
Megan McPherson, Sr., Liv. Franklin (1,600): The most decorated distance runner in school history posted the area’s top time in the 1,600 (5:04.91) at the Ypsilanti Invitational and placed 14th in the state finals.
McPherson, headed to Adrian College, also clocked a 11:30.2 in the 3,200.
She was regional champion in both the 1,600 and3.200, along with Kensington Conference champion in the3.200. She was also Public Schools of Livonia champ in the 1,600 and 3,200
McPherson competed for Team Michigan in Saturday’s Midwest Meet of Champions held in Fort Wayne, Ind.
“I am glad she was selected as I think she really deserves it after the career she has had at Franklin,” Bjorklund said. “She has every distance record (4 x 800, 800,1,600, 3,200 and 5K), qualified for the state finals in both sports three years in a row, and has been all-state in both track (2010) and cross country (2010).
“For four years, she was our hardest worker and was always someone her teammates could count on. She puts others before herself and wants only the best for her team. One of the best things I can say about her is she has outstanding character.”
Kayla Kavulich, Fr., Salem (3,200): All you need to know about Salem freshman Kayla Kavulich is she ran on the treadmill during a cruise with her family during spring break.
That penchant for self- motivation already is lifting Kavulich to the top of the charts at Salem, where she set a new school record early in the season (5:15.8) only to break it again at the conference meet (5:13.17) and Dl regionals (5:07.8).
The conference and regional times were good for firsts while the latter stands as the best ever among athletes at all three PCEP schools.
“She’s the best we’ve seen here, the best we’ve had here in a long time,” Salem head coach Dale Maskill said. “As freshmen, or any runners period.”
FIRST-TEAM RELAYSLivonia Churchill, 400
(Demi Crossman, Soph.; Leah Heinzelman, Jr.; Molly Jarvis, Soph.; Latisha Smalls, Soph):This quartet earned a berth in the Division 1 state finals and placed 17th overall (school record 49.5).
The Chargers also captured the regional and was runner- up in the Kensington Lakes Activities Association meet.
“Great group of girls,” Churchill coach Pat Daugherty said. “Demi and Leah are our two best sprinters in both the
100 and 200. Molly is our best 300 hurdler. And Smalls, who is new to the team this year as a senior, did a great job finishing both sprint relays. At the end of the year both Molly and Leah were on the 400, 800 and 1600 relay teams.”
Farmington Harrison, 800 (Laticia Sims, Jr.; Whitney Fields, Soph.; Talia Shuford, Sr.; Tiera Parker, Jr.): The Hawks set a school record and ran an area- best time of 1:43.9 to win the West Bloomfield regional. Harrison was second in the OAA White and fourth in Oakland County.
“We kept those four girls together for a reason,”Babcock said. “We thought they were good enough to go to state and they did. All of those girls are high-caliber track athletes and good kids. They grew together, learned to trust each other more and the times started coming down until it was a school record. They did a great job all year.”
Farmington, 1,600 (Josephine Zolynsky, Sr.; Jacquelyne Zolynsky, Sr.; Sydney Sterling, Soph.; Gabby DeFlorio, Jr.): The Falcons set a school record and just missed scoring (ninth place) when they ran 3:58.75 at the state meet.
“These four young ladies began the season with two goals in mind, breaking four minutes and scoring at the state meet,” coach Bridges said. “They became the fastest Division 1 team in MHSAA finals history not to score in 4 x 400 relay. The girls had a tremendous season individually and as a relay. The Zolynskys have had wonderful careers at Farmington, and we look forward to their continued success at U-D Mercy.”
Salem, 3,200 (Adrianna Beltran, Sr.; Victoria Tripp, Sr.; Kathryn Binsfeld, Fr.; Kayla Kavulich,Fr.): This team came out firing on all cylinders from the beginning of the season and were consistent performers throughout.
They placed first at several key meets and earned a trip to the Dl state finals at Rockford.
The quartet won the KLAA meet with a mark of 9:48.68 and topped that a week later at the PCEP-hosted regionals, with a time o f9:33.80.
At the state meet during prelims, the Rocks came in 27th with a time of 9:49.78..
COACH OF THE YEARMark Babcock, Farm. Harrison:
Babcock’s 31st year was one of the most successful and enjoyable during his long tenure as the Harrison girls coach.
The Hawks were undefeated in dual meets and won the OAA White Division crown. They also won their first Division 1 regional at West Bloomfield after having won four in D-2. Harrison got on a late-season roll after winning the Muskrat Relays in Algonac, outscoring the defending state champion, Rochester.
“For me, that solidified things in my mind,” Babcock said. “There were some good teams there. We felt it legitimized who we were and formed a better opinion of who we are. We sort of found our identity.
“It was a good thing to happen a week before the division meet. It gave us confidence going into the league championships and the regional from there.”
Harrison also finished third in the Oakland County meet behind Novi and Division 2 state champion Country Day.
“These sort of seasons energize you,” Babcock said. “It’s a big boost for myself. Some years are more work and less fun. This year was the other way around. It was a lot of fun, watching our team grow, develop and believe in themselves. That never gets old.”
Babcock, who also teaches at Harrison, knew he wanted to be a track coach when he started out, but he hadn’t considered the possibility of coaching girls.
“The job opened up and someone said: ‘Hey, there’s an opening for a girls track coach.’ I definitely was up for the challenge,” he said. “That was 31 years ago. I’ve had chances to go elsewhere and do other things, but I think we have a good thing going at Harrison and our kids have benefitted.”

in women with triple negative breast cancer. Their form of breast cancer can be aggressive and more likely to recur and m etastasize than other kinds, although it does respond to chemotherapy.
Huyck is thankful she and her doctors discovered the disease in its early stage.She said it underscores the im portance of getting an annual physical exam, including a mammogram, and making healthy lifestyle choices.
“It was a complete shock for me because I did everyth ing in life to avoid this.At least I caught it early enough.”
Huyck suspects her personal experience with breast cancer may lead her back into oncology work in the future. She also recently formed Pink Fight X3, an organization designed to help triple negative breast cancer patients shoulder drug deductible costs, copays and other expenses.
“I am blessed with great health care insurance, but th a t’s not the same for everyone. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be diagnosed with breast cancer and not have available funds. My goal in the future is to help cover those expenses.”
A life-long Catholic and a member of Our Lady of Loretto in Redford,Huyck also plans to form a Christian support group for breast cancer patients.
“My faith gives guidance and it always has. I believe God opened this door for me for a reason — and he has carried me through.”Huyck's Web site is www.pinkfightX3. org. E-mail her at Mary@pinkfightX3. org.
Mary Huyck plans to ride a tandem bike with husband Gary Huyck during the 'Ride for the Cure' in August. Her cycling team includes John Carey and Amy Van Eck (background). Other team members (not shown) are Alanea Van Eck, Murray Muscat and Krystle Price.
BY SHARON DARGAY0&E STAFF WRITER
Mary Huyck plans to party after her Mary’s Pink Fight Golf Outing on June 25.
“I have a DJ that’s coming and we’re going to celebrate. We’re going to have some dancing, everyone’s going to dance,” said Huyck, 54, of Livonia.
The celebration will mark the end of her chemotherapy and the start of training for a 27-mile “Ride for the Cure,” bike ride on Aug. 6 in Ann Arbor. She hopes to pedal a tandem bike with her husband, Gary, alongside friends and family members on her cycling team. The golf outing this month will raise money to pay for entry fees and donations to the August ride, which is organized by the Mid- Michigan Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Next month, sandwiched between the two big events, she’ll also undergo surgery for the aggressive breast cancer that was diagnosed last December.
But right now, she’s just happy to kick up her heels.
“I ’ve always been of the deep philosophy to keep moving, not to sit around. I always tell people to get out in the sunshine and fresh air. That can be a natural healer for you. What I tell my patients I practice myself.”ATTENTION TO HEALTH
Huyck, a physician’s assistant, has always taken a proactive approach to good health. When she was a single mom, raising two daughters and a son 30 years ago, she became a vegetarian and began eating organic foods. Exercise has always been a priority and over the past five years has included cycling in long-distance bike tours, some which have raised funds for diabetes and obesity research.

take vitamins and eat well.I had a mammogram in late August last year and it was clear. Then after one of my exercise classes I developed a swelling under my arm.”
Huyck worked for an oncologist before she began practicing medicine in Pontiac for the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department, where she sees everything from diabetes to psychiatric cases at the clinic in the Oakland County jail.
She knew what to ask her doctor when the swelling failed to respond to hot showers and over-the-counter antiinflammatory medicine.
“I called the Ob-Gyn and said ‘I think I need an ultrasound.’”
A biopsy and ultrasound confirmed what seemed impossible.
“Dec. 17 is the day they called me and told me I had breast cancer. It was wild.I had no family history of breast cancer. It was a fluke.”
She started six months of chemotherapy, administered every other week, to combat the “triple negative breast cancer.”

e a r n t o p a w a r d sThree girls from Canton
received the Girl Scout Gold Award at a ceremony held last month at the Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center, in Ypsilanti. The girls were honored by Girl Scouts H eart of Michigan for their leadership and dedication to community service.
The Girl Scout Gold Award, awarded by Girl Scouts of the USA, is earned by only three percent of Girl Scouts, ages 14- 18, across the country. The highest achievement in Girl Scouting, it calls upon each girl to put her leadership skills into action and develop a service learning project. The Girl Scout Gold Award is the equivalent of the Eagle Scout Award in Boy Scouting.
Elizabeth Ann Otto, of Troop 40870, with help from friends, family and fellow Girl Scouts, built and painted a bookcase with Disney characters on it for the Wayne Family Center, in Wayne. She also organized a book drive, collecting 670 donated books for children. She also created three colorful paintings to decorate the walls of the center’s day care. She is the daughter of Marlene McCrate and Michael Otto.
Ishani Shah, a Girl Scout Juliette, started a social group for young children with disabilities in the Infant/Preschool Special Education Program (IPSEP) at Tanger Elementary School, in Plymouth. She made weekly visits to the school with friends, playing with students to improve their social skills. She also obtained training to work with the children on their sensory and motor skills. Her parents are Yaksha and Mayur Shah.
Maria Wellman, of Troop 40870, organized a blood drive for the American Red Cross Donor Center that resulted in the collection of 32 units of blood. She recruited donors by setting up booths at St. John Neumann Church and Bob Evan’s Restaurant, distributing fliers to neighbors, creating a Facebook event, posting ads at local businesses and extending personal invitations. She
Wellman
also made a video promoting blood donation showing the process, benefits and personal stories about giving blood. The video will be used for blood drive recruitment at St. John Neumann Parish. Maria is the daughter of Kathryn and Mark Wellman.
Through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, girls discover their strengths, connect with others and take action to make the world a better place. To learn more, call (800) 49-SCOUT or visit www.gshom.org.

Tour five rain gardens for free 9 a.m.- noon, Saturday, July 16, in Lathrup Village. The tour, which is self-guided, will feature rain gardens with native wild- flowers in bloom. Rain garden owners will be at their gardens to share tips with visitors. Rain gardens trap runoff from roads, driveways, sidewalks and rooftops, reducing the volume of runoff flushed into
storm drains and waterways, such as the Rouge River. When planted with native wildflowers selected for their height and bloom time, streetside rain gardens add to neighborhood pride and community identity, typically attracting butterflies. The tour originates at the Lathrup Village Municipal Park, 27400 Southfield Road, three blocks north o fI-696 . Tour orientation is scheduled for every 15 minutes at the registration desk. Native wildflowers suitable for rain gardens will be available for purchase. Advance registration is required (no charge).

VIRUSES AND ARTHRITISViruses can cause arthritis; the arthritis associated with a virus usually looks like
rheumatoid arthritis. The joints involved are in the hands and feet, the fingers are swollen, the arthritis is symmetrical, that is, on both the right and left side of the body. In addition, the individual with viral arthritis notes stiffness in the morning and undue fatigue during the day.
Clues that the person does not have rheumatoid arthritis include that the arthritis came on after a fever or sore throat, or that someone in the family, usually a child, had a viral influenza shortly before the adult’s arthritis appeared.
The best studied viral arthritis is caused by Parovirus B19. The virus, in children is called the “Slapped Cheek Syndrome." The slapped cheeks refer to the bright red appearance of the child’s face when the virus begins. The child’s illness is accompanied by a fever, and lasts 1-3 days.
An adult, usually a grandparent babysitting for a young child, is the usual target for the virus. Instead of a fever or sore throat, the person presents with a sudden arthritis of the hands and feet that mimics rheumatoid arthritis.
The doctor can confirm his suspicion of Parovirus B19 by a blood test that shows evidence of a recent B19 infection.
Treatment consists of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication such as aspirin or ibuprofen. The arthritis may last up to 6 months, but starts improving when the patient begins therapy. A repeat episode is rare.

CORRESPONDENTThe Father’s Day Jazz Brunch is a good way
to support America’s gift of this music to the world, according to Midge Ellis. At nearly 88, she’s been promoting jazz with the hope it continues to thrive for generations to come.
On Sunday, June 19, the Livonia woman along with the Michigan Jazz Festival Committee will hold the brunch benefit to raise funds for the annual showcase of southeast Michigan jazz musicians at Schoolcraft College in July. The daylong festival is free to the public, but a costly production at $40,000 a year.
The Father’s Day brunch will include a concert featuring the Pete Siers Quartet, with Siers on drums, Brian McMillen, organ, and Keith Kaminski and Ben Jansson on saxophones.
“It’s always exciting because the food is so wonderful. Schoolcraft has a reputation for its food. There’s something for everybody. If you happen to be a vegetarian you can eat until you’re stuffed,” said Ellis.
Seating at tables of eight stimulates conversation. Last year 300 people were talking music.
“It’s good for meeting other jazz lovers,” said
Ellis. “People love it and meet other people and wouldn’t be there if they didn’t love jazz.” ,
Ellis promises audience members will have a lot to talk about when the quartet takes to the stage with their straight-ahead jazz. Siers has toured Europe several times and played with musicians such as Russell Malone, Marian McPartland, the late David “Fathead” Newman, and Mulgrew Miller, to name a few. His orchestral pops show ventures include Marcus Belgrave’s Louis Armstrong Tribute and Dave Bennett’s Salute to Benny Goodman.
Siers is an educator as well. He has taught at University of Michigan, Purdue University and Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, and served as Artist-in-Residence at Interlochen School of the Arts.
“Pete is such a good musician, a very good drummer,” said Ellis. “This is a unique group. There’s no bass. The organ plays the bass and there’s two saxophones.”
The Father’s Day Jazz Brunch runs noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, June 19, in the VisTaTech Center at Schoolcraft College, 18600 Haggerty, Livonia. Tickets are $27.50, and include a brunch and concert. Call Midge Ellis at (248) 474-2720 or send a check with self-addressed stamped envelope to 20457 Maplewood, Livonia, MI 48152-2022. Be sure to include last four digits of zip code to speed delivery. The Pete Siers Quartet will perform at a Father's Day Brunch benefit for the annual Michigan Jazz Festival.

Theresa Fischer knelt on the concrete sidewalk Tuesday and planted impa- tiens in the landscape bed surrounding Valley Hill Therapy Center in Redford.
While she gardened in the record high tem perature, the Farm ington Hills woman — who has Chronic obstructive pulm onary disease (COPD)— barely seemed to break a sweat.
After three years in pulmonary rehab, Fischer is better equipped to climb stairs, swing a golf club and plant flowers during Valley H ill’s annual “Gardening Day” event.
“On a whole I would not be as active w ithout it,” she said, referring to the physical therapy she receives at the Center, home to Botsford H ospital’s outpatient pulm onary rehab program . “I look forward to coming here. I feel it has helped me.
“I tell you a big plus. It improved my golf game. It was am azing to me because I didn’t expect it. But I kept thinking, gosh th a t ball is going farther.”
Gardening, like golf, gives Fischer an opportunity to apply breathing and energy conservation techniques learned at the Center to everyday activities.
During Gardening Day, patients plant flowers around the facility as a part of their supervised exercise treatm ent. Valley Hill offers a m ultidisciplinary treatm ent plan under m edical direction. Therapy is designed to improve quality of life for individuals with chronic asthm a, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulm onary disease and other lung conditions. Respiratory therapists work with patients on controlling symptoms, slowing their disease’s progression, increasing their ability to live independently and building endurance. Physical th erapists help patients improve strength, balance, and m uscle function.DIFFERENT APPROACH
Dorothy Lehner of Farmington Hills plants flowers as a part of the fifth annual Gardening Day at Valley Hill Therapy Center in Redford.
Bernard Smith of Detroit, his oxygen tank at his side, digs holes for flowers during Valley Hill's annual gardening day.
“We teach them to cope w ith their lung disease. Instead of stopping activities, we teach them to do it differently,” said Cindy Bailo, therap ist. “W hen we
interview them , th a t’s one of th e ir m ajor com plaints — th a t they can’t work in the yard and garden any more. So we try to teach them th a t yes, you can. You ju s t
have to do it differently.“You have to learn to
breathe when you do it and do it slowly.”
Purse lip breath ing is among the techniques they
use while tack ling everyday activities such as gardening. Therapy patien ts learn to breathe in for a few second and then purse th e ir lips to lengthen the tim e it takes to exhale.
“W hen they take longer, it keeps th e ir lower airways open long enough for them to exhale carbon dioxide. We teach them to take their breath in before they exert them selves,” Bailo said.
W orking on treadm ills and stationery bikes at the Center helps streng then muscles. Bailo teaches patien ts th a t a “stronger muscle uses less oxygen then a weak m uscle.”
“W hen you become short of b reath by doing simple th ings, you avoid doing those simple th ings and then your muscles tend to atrophy more. So we work tb e ir h eart, legs, d ia

“One of the reasons I ’ve stuck w ith th is exercise program is th a t they take your vitals when you come in,” Cherry said. “They t ake your blood pressure. listen to vour lungs, m easure vour oxygen levels. You don’t get th a t in ju st any exercise setting .”
She likes the cam araderie th a t has developed d u ring sessions. Patients have become friends w ith each other and w ith the th e ra pists.

Male Urinary Incontinence: An
Embarrassing Problem (No Longer)
Springtime has many men thinking about golf. Consistent errant golf shots on the course may not be the only reason some men hang up the clubs. Many men may silently experience the frustration and embarrassment of leaking urine upon exertion with simple activities such as laughing, coughing, walking, swinging a golf club, etc.The inability to control urine is a common problem affecting many men in America. When looking specifically at men over 60,17% reported having an incontinent episode. There are many potential causes of incontinence in men but most stem from the gland associated with the male reproductive system—the prostate. As many as 30% of men who have undergone treatments for prostate cancer report some incontinenceThe positive news- male urinary incontinence is a treatable problem.Although pads to collect urine are an option, some medications or a rninimally-invasive procedure can provide a permanent resolution to most individual's problems.Now's the time to seek the answers and treatment you need.Believe it or not, an active summer is right around the comer!C all A nd S ch e d u le Your F re e C o n su lta tio n .

‘‘There’s no place like hom e,
b u t w hen th a t can't be,
Four Seasons is the next best
thing,"Dr. Thomas Selznick, Four Seasons' Medical Director
Rehabilitation and nursing centers have changed dramatically since Dr. Selznick went
into practice 25 years ago after a residency at Wayne State University. Back then, physicians
visited patients once a month as required by law. Selznick and Dr. Jerry Wilburn, his partner
at Livonia Family Physicians, changed that practice. For rehabilitation outside the hospital,
Four Seasons utilizes a team approach — physicians make rounds 7 days a week, and
physical and occupational therapists work with patients 5 days a week to ensure a quick
recovery and return home.“Four Seasons provides outstanding intense therapy if patients don't have the means of
caring for themselves at home or their spouse is working — all in a pristine,
home-like setting.”Drop in for a Visit

Fun By The NumbersLike puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!
Level: Beginner
Here’s How It Works:Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure, out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Q On the Food Network's
Cupcake Wars, what happens to the 1,000 cupcakes baked by the loser?Jean Casey, P e n fie ld , N.Y.
We got the scoop on what happens after the dust — er, flour — set
tles on the weekly dessert dustup, whose third season starts Tuesday. “All the fresh ingredients that are still usable are kept for the next challenge, while the completed cupcakes left over are delivered to nearby charitable organizations, or given to our hardworking cast and crew,” a Food Network and Cooking Channel rep tells us. “The set is a great place to work — especially if you have a sweet tooth.” Yum — sounds as if there are no real losers!
Q The things Joan Rivers says on Fashion Police are hilarious. Do
celebrities contact her to retaliate or ask for an apology?
Jared Scott Tesler, R o cheste r, N.Y.
“Very few,” Rivers tells us. “The big ones always know it’s in fun. No one who is making $20 million cares that I didn’t like her dress.” That does not mean she hasn’t gotten nastygrams (from Edie Falco and Kathy Bates, to name two).
Hollywood is a small town, and when Rivers and her targets collide, it’s awkward, she says. “We had ju st done a thing on Sandra Bullock’s bangs, and we ran into her
on a plane on the way home. You feel terrible, but my job is to be a critic. That’s why people tune in.” Catch F a sh io n P o lice Fridays on E! a t 10:30 p.m. ET.
W h o ’ s h o t i n H o l l y w o o dA n d re w R ann e lls scored one o f a w hopp ing 14
Tony nom inations for the h it Broadway musical
The Book o f M ormon by South Park creators M att
Stone and Trey Parker. Their subversive cartoon
was a staple for Rannells w hen he was grow ing up
in O m aha. "W ho w ould have thought, w atching
Sou th Park in high school, those are the guys w ho
w ould change m y life one day?" See if Rannells, 32,
wins the best-actor Tony Sunday on CBS. . . . A lfre W o o d a rd
seems to have spent m ore tim e on the road than a t hom e. "I’ve
never been a suburban type. I like the circus life," says W oodard,
58. But her children. Mavis, 19, and Duncan, 17, (w ith husband
Roderick Spencer) always cam e first. "W herever w e w ere, they
becam e kids in th a t city. Then w hen th e y started playing
organized sports, they said, 'M om , w e don 't w ant to go to
Z im babw e. We have soccer g am es.'" Catch W oodard on TNT's
M em phis Beat, which returns for its second season Tuesday.
Q Who puts together
Bonnie Bedelia's Boho chic outfits on NBC show P aren thood?
Camille Thompson Son R a m o n , C a lif.
That is costume designer Diane Crooke, who also has dressed the stars on F rien d s and C ro ssin g J o r d a n . To dress P a ren th o o d matriarch
Camille Braverman as “a more current version of a past
hippie life,” Crooke skips the hemp and starts
with skinny black jeans (“She has great legs”), then adds staple tanks from Eileen Fisher and “flowy,
colorful tops” from Citron and Harari.
Like Camille’s jewelry collection? Buy from local arts and crafts fairs, as Crooke does. “Bonnie is an artist and a painter in her real life, so she wanted to have that feeling influenced in her clothes now,” says Crooke,
who keeps a closet busting
with pitch-perfect clothes for
each character.

LiveSmart Helpful tips for your everyday life
R e a d e r t i p o f t h e
For a busy family, trying to get children to finish their dinner can be quite the struggle. Jo Gunn of Crystal River, Fla., is a fan of her parents' strategy."When we were little, we always had dessert after supper. However, we couldn't have it unless we ate what was on our plate, and then we had to turn the plate over so we could eat the dessert off the bottom of the plate! Also, it was less dishes to wash and we didn't waste food."W hat do you say? Share your helpful tips for everyday life with us. Select tips will appear here each week.

You may be included in a class action lawsuit about whether Akavar 20/50 (“Akavar") is sold as a proven weight loss product and whether there is clinical and scientific support for the manufacturer’s claim that users of Akavar can “Eat all you want and still lose weight.” The case in the United States District Court for the District of Utah is called Miller v. Basic Research, LLC, et al., No. 2:07-CV-871.The Court decided this should be a class action on behalf of a “Class,” or group of people, that could include you. This notice summarizes your rights and options. More information is available in a detailed notice. There is no money available now and no guarantee that there will be.Who is included?The Court decided that the Class includes any person who purchased Akavar after seeing or hearing the marketing slogan “Eat all you want and still lose weight."
What is this case about?The case is about whether the manufacturer and other defendants engaged in fraudulent and deceptive advertising and marketing. The lawsuit says that Akavar has not undergone “scientific evaluation” by a “team of doctors ” has not been tested in controlled random clinical trials and that there is no scientific evidence that users of Akavar can “Eat all you want and still lose weight.” The lawsuit seeks money and other benefits for the Class. Defendants deny the claims and allegations in the lawsuit. The Court has not decided who is right. The lawyers for the Class will have to prove their claims at a trial set to begin on September 10, 2012.
Who represents you?The Court appointed the law firms of Anderson & Karrenberg; Wilentz. Goldman & Spitzer, P.A.; and Shepherd, Finkelman, Miller & Shah, LLP. to represent you as “Class Counsel.” If Class Counsel obtains money or benefits for the Class, they may ask the Court for attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses. You don't have to pay any of these fees, costs and expenses. If the Court grants their request, the fees, costs and expenses would be deducted from any money obtained for the Class, or paid separately by Defendants. You may hire your own lawyer to appear in Court for you. If you do, you have to pay that lawyer.What are your options?You have a choice of whether to stay in the Class or not. and you must decide this now. To stay in the Class, you do not have to do anything. If money or benefits are obtained, you will be notified about how to ask for a share. You will be legally bound by all orders and judgments of the Court, and you won’t be able to sue, or continue to sue about the legal claims in this case.If you exclude yourself, you cannot get money or benefits from this lawsuit if any are awarded, but you will keep any rights to sue about these claims and will not be bound by any orders or judgments in this case. The detailed notice explains how to exclude yourself. The deadline for exclusions is August 15,2011.

Is your arthritis pain medicine putting you at risk for stomach issues?
Ask your doctor about VIMOVO.ViMOVO is a prescription medicine that combines a proven arthritis pain reliever with built-in medication that can help protect you from stomach issues common to NSAIDs.NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) can effectively reduce the pain of osteoarthritis. But they may also lead to stomach issues, which may keep you from taking the medicine you need.
Medicine on the outside of VIMOVO helps reduce the risk of stomach ulcers.
VIMOVO combines a prescription arthritis pain medication with a built-in medicine that has been proven to reduce the risk of developing stomach (gastric) ulcers*
So if you’re worried about potential stomach issues with your arthritis pain medication, ask your doctor about VIMOVO.
Medicine on the inside of VIMOVO helps relieve arthritis pain.
* In 6-month clinical studies, compared with entenc-coated naproxen.

Low point: The infamous video from last May that appears to show Ferguson selling a businessman access to her former husband, Prince Andrew. Ferguson says the press “twisted” and “sensationalized” the story, and what she was really doing was offering the man an opportunity “to invest in a start-up company.”
Before Oprah's in tervention: She was at rock- bottom — “a place where you sit bolt-upright on a12-hour flight to Los Angeles with an eye mask on with your eyes wide open.”
Family ties: ‘W e have a good relationship,” Ferguson says about her ex, to whom she was married for 10 years and with whom she still shares a home. “He is my most special person I ’ve ever met. The best day in my life was when I went down that aisle. We’re a family unit, the four of us.” (They have two daughters, Beatrice, 22, and Eugenie, 21.)
The new est royal couple: “She’s learned about life in the royal family,” she says of Prince William’s bride, Catherine. “Diana and I [each] met and married very quickly. I hope and pray the mistakes we made can help William and Catherine with their future. Diana would be so proud.”
Her princesses: “They both looked utterly beautiful, and to be called ‘the ugly sisters’ is outrageous,” says Ferguson, referring to the drumming her daughters got in the press for their royal-wedding attire. “I t’s one thing to have a go at me, but keep away from young people who are trying their best in a very, very difficult environment.”
The queen of England: “One of the greatest ladies I’ve ever met in my life is my mother-in-law, and I ’m ju st very lucky to even be able to say that,” she says. “I love her.” □
