Caught in the WebCriminal records on the Internet raise privacy concerns

By Eric FreedmanJournal Lansing Bureau

LANSING - Plans by state prison officials to open a Web site that will give detailed information on present and former prisoners are raising ques­tions over the privacy rights of ex­offenders who have completed their punishment.

When the Department of Correc­

tions Web site is up and running, and that could be as early as November, information on the identity, age, sex and criminal history of some 42,000 prison inmates and alumni will be accessible to everyone from employers to elementary school students to prospective dates.

And that bothers some civil liberties advocates.

“They’ve done their time and served their sentences,” said Dorean Koenig, a professor a t Lansing’s Thomas Cooley Law School and a board mem­ber of the local American Civil Liberties Union chapter.

While Koenig sees a distinction between current inmates - “who are on very public turf” - and those who

Activists cheer incinerator endBy Robin FornoffJournal S ta ff W riter

Michigan’s most sinister trash incinerator is about to wheeze its last poisonous puff of smoke and that has set a fire under some envi­ronmentalists.

“We’re ecstatic,” long­time incinerator foe Ed McArdle said after learning the Grosse Pointe-Clinton Refuse Disposal Authority plans to shut down its plant near 14 Mile and I- 94.

“This decision has to affect others.”

As chairman of the Southeast Michigan Sierra Club’s conservation com­mittee, McArdle has spent years fighting incinerators as outdated, costly and just plain dangerous. And he is hoping the Grosse Pointe- Clinton’s demise is a sign of the times.

The Grosse Pointe- Clinton was recently cited

by one major scientific study as the No. 1 source of dioxin pollution in all five Great Lakes.

No. 2 is the Central Wayne Incinerator in Dear­born Heights, a facility McArdle and his group have spent months trying to put out of business through a campaign called “Stop the Bum.”

McArdle said there are already preliminary signs of political fallout from clos­ing the Grosse Pointe- Clinton.

Westland City Council recently decided to meet in executive session to recon­sider its 35-year contract with the Central Wayne authority.

McArdle sees the move as a prelude to Westland withdrawing as one of the major players the Central Wayne incinerator needs to

Just join the flock with unruffled feathersL ike millions before them, Bill

and Hillary Clinton are going through the change of life. They just sent their first

and only child off to college.As departure day neared, Mama

Clinton publicly wondered why she ever allowed Chelsea to skip the third grade.

Papa Clinton, a man who talked his way into the White House and finagled his way out of more briar patches than Brer Rabbit, could only stammer that he was happy and sad at the same time.

Poor babies.Even if you spend your life prepar­

ing the little snot-nosed brat for col­lege, it’s hard to let go. The empty nest seems like a cruel joke by a cos­mic prankster who punishes you for being good parents.

But the Clintons, and others in their shoes, should take heart.

The empty nest ain’t half bad.It’s quiet, clean, unrestricted and

conducive to a good night’s sleep.During the first few days or weeks,

new empty nesters will miss the con­stant noise that traveled with their child. The phone. The radio. The floor moaning under the strain of his foot­steps. The sound of the refrigerator popping open and the constant com­plaint that there’s no decent food in the house.

But pretty soon, you get accustomed to the quiet. You rediscover the sweet sound of your own words spoken at a normal decibel level. On Saturday mornings, instead of being assaulted by an explosion of noise from a gaggle of kids running through the house, you can actually hear birds singing

outside your window.And then there’s the matter of

cleanliness. It will hurt the first few times you look into your kid’s room and see how neat it is. Not a shoe out of place. No candy wrappers on the floor. No unmade bed. When the kid’s room is so neat that no one could con­fuse it with a pigsty, you will feel a terrible longing as if something is missing.

Well, it is. It’s called filth. Rejoice in its departure.

There are more benefits to the empty nest. The clock on the wall gets a new attitude. It’s calmer, more laid back. With the kids gone, you don’t have to worry about getting home in time to go to a soccer game or make a costume for the church play. If you want to have dinner at midnight, you can. No one will call the next day to ask why little Sally keeps falling asleep in class.

The best thing about having an empty nest is that you sleep better.

When the child living under your roof is old enough to go out alone at night, you don’t fall asleep until the kid gets home. In truth, you don’t rest until you hear his key in the door.

But when that same child is living away from home, you sleep like a baby. It’s not that you care any less. It’s just that you no longer can con­trol his comings and goings. Unless you are dumb enough to call his dorm room every night, you don’t even know if he’s out partying or home studying.

Ignorance is not only blissful, it’s better than Nytol.

I can think of only one real problem with the empty nest. When you final­ly get used to it, the kid wants to move back in.

If that happens, just remember the real reason why those little birdies are singing outside your window. It’s because they moved and left no for­warding address after kicking their babies out of the nest.

Future of DIA at stake as fight heats upBy Ann S w een eyJournal S taff Writer

The decision over who should run the Detroit Institu te of Arts hangs on a pair of documents not yet released to the public. And while the contents of both rem ain secret, the battle for con­trol of the DIA is heating up in the face of cutbacks in state funding.

The fight is between the city of Detroit, owner of the museum, and the m useum ’s Founders Society. Both have a hand in DIA operations.

On the side favoring a transfer of power to the Founders Society is Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer, Joseph Bianco Jr., executive vice president of the Founders, and some wealthy a rt patrons. They say the Founders Society is better equipped to raise the $8 million needed to make up for a shortfall in state funding th a t will hit next July.

On the other side is Detroit City Council President M aryann Mahaffey, other City Council members and the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees, which rep­resents city workers. This group sees any transfer of power as “privatiza­tion.”

At the crux of the dispute over how the DIA would be best served, is one question: Can the Founders Society manage the DIA better without over­sight and monitoring from the city, which owns the artw ork and con­

LANSING — Money for education and transportation top the agenda when the Legislature returns to the Capitol this week.

But the undercurrent for the fall session th a t starts Tuesday will be politics as m any lawmakers weigh their own futures in the age of term limits.

Their immediate concerns, however, include the need to find $1 billion in additional aid for local schools.

E arlier th is year the M ichigan Supreme Court ruled the state had inadequately funded special education programs. As a result, local districts had been forced to pay too big a share of the cost of the state-m andated pro­grams, violating the state Constitu­tion.

The Supreme Court ordered the state to pay $211 million to 84 dis­tricts th a t sued. However, it will cost up to $1 billion to reimburse all dis­tricts.

“W hat th a t m eans is a significant chunk of money,” House Speaker Curtis Hertel, D-Detroit, said.

In an interview with Capital News Service, H ertel also said the Democratic-controlled House will try to override Gov. John Engler’s veto of

tributes heavily to the DIA’s upkeep?Already in the pipeline is a prelimi­

nary proposal from the Founders Society tha t Archer received in August and has not yet shown to the City Council, and an independent manage­m ent audit of the DIA by City Auditor General Joseph Harris to be conclud­ed in October.

W hat is known about the proposal is th a t it calls for an initial management term of 20 years, with two 10-year renewals.

And what is known about Harris’ audit is th a t a perceived duplication of city and Founders’ Society manage­m ent initially reported to be costly enough to favor Founders’ control is, in his words, “not much of a problem.”

“The problem is more organization­al - who answers to whom,” Harris said.

And no m atter who controls the DIA, the city’s contributions - some $400,000 annually and an annual payment of $3 to $4 million in bonds th a t upgraded and m aintain the building - continue.

The DIA began as a private enter­prise in 1885. By 1919 the Founders Society sought a partnership with the city in order to obtain financial sup­port which included various building projects through the years. In return, the city received ownership.

H arris said the city picked up the tab in good times and bad. By 1985,

part of the school aid budget and to restore money for programs th a t ben­efit children a t risk.

As for transporta ­tion, the Legislature m ust still pass a trans­portation budget before the fiscal year opens Oct. 1. Contentious is­sues include how much money to provide for public transit and allo­cation of federal high­way aid between the state and local govern­ments.

In addition, Hertel said the House will continue to press for a $30 mil- lion-a-year tax increase on diesel fuel to m atch the recent increase in the gasoline tax.

“It’s a real equity issue here,” he said.

This fall’s debate over policy issues comes with elections little more than a year away. A number of House mem­bers who have already served a t least six years will be ineligible to run again due to term limits, and some lame ducks are eyeing other political opportunities including the state Senate, Congress, judgeships and local offices.

Hertel, a critic of term limits, pre­

the state began to assist in funding when both the city and the museum fell on hard times.

Mahaffey recalled tha t in 1983 for­m er Mayor Coleman Young was alarmed a t perceived irregularities at the museum, and sent in the auditor general and police to collect the records.

“The records were never seen again, but after tha t the contract was rew rit­ten to give the city more oversight. In light of that, the group a t the museum is already exceeding its authority - doing more than the contract with the city allows,” she said.

Mahaffey said she is opposed to any shift in control because she opposes privatization of the city’s assets.

She also said the Founders Society has given no guarantees of doing a better job outside the current arrange­ment.

“They say they can do a better job raising money,” she said.

“When I ask if they will guarantee to provide the missing $8 million in state funding, they say no.

“They tell us patrons won’t donate their a rt collections to the museum if the city owns the art. But when I ask if people are still giving a rt, the answer is yes.

‘They say they can do better finan­cially without city oversight but there is no documentation. Remember, these are the people who lost museum funds

diets the departure of experienced representatives will strengthen the power of bureaucrats, the executive department, the Senate, whose mem­bers can serve eight years, and lobby­ists.

Term limits change the dynamics of legislative campaigns as well, he said, as the two major parties compete for vacant seats. In some instances, tha t may give Democrats and Republicans a chance to win districts now held by popular incumbents of the opposite party.

“There are a number of seats on both sides of the aisle th a t should have been hotly contested” before but weren’t because popular incumbents “transcend partisanship.”

For example, Republican Rep. Lyn Bankes of Redford Township, a trad i­tionally Democratic area, can’t run again. Nor can Democrat Michael Griffin who comes from a GOP area in Jackson County.

Hertel, who m ust give his seat up as well, said he hasn’t decided on his future plans but is unlikely to become a lobbyist.

He hinted a t running for office in Detroit or Wayne County. “I suspect I’ll remain involved in government,” he said. “I enjoy public service, per­haps a t the local level.”

a couple of years ago in an investment scam.”

Mahaffey said th a t union jobs also raise another issue. “They tell us that any city worker who wishes can trans­fer to another city job. But those who choose to stay under their proposal, will work ‘a t the will of the employer’,” she said.

“That’s a pretty clear indication that the unions would be out along with job protection and benefits. And there is no evidence the place will be better managed without city workers.”

H arris said the DIA needs endow­m ents to run smoothly, and that one interesting proposal for funding is a regional tax to benefit the arts.

Bianco could not be reached for com­ment.

Mahaffey said th a t funding the arts is a national problem faced by muse­ums everywhere, due to government cutbacks, a change in the tax struc­ture th a t no longer favors a r t bequests and private foundations which have refocused their grants to education.

“There is no doubt th a t the DIA needs money,” Mahaffey said.

“We have to find new and creative methods of financing. I’d like to see an analysis of well-run city museums in places like Baltim ore and Los Angeles.

“They don’t have these financial upheavals. And I think we need to know how they do it.”

Criminal records on-line raise privacy concernsCRIMINAL, From Page 1

are released, she also sees a public trend toward disclosing personal information about ex-offenders.

For example, a num ber of states have passed so-called “Megan’s laws” tha t require convicted but released sex offenders to register with police and make public their addresses.

“I know it’s popular, but it raises issues of when a person pays a debt to society,” she said. “There are so many of these coming down the pike and people are frightened” about crime.

M att Davis, the departm ent’s public information administrator, was quick to point out th a t a num ber of states already have sim ilar websites.

“This isn’t like Big Brother. It’s already public information, but will be in a format where you can get it faster and for the price of a local phone call.”

Those who escape custody will find their mug shots on the In ternet as well.

The Corrections D epartm ent Web site will be accessible by computer modem. Many public libraries now provide computer access, making it easy to tap in even if you don’t own a computer.

“As taxpayers, they’ve already paid for the information,” said Davis.

The records of current inmates will be the first items entered into the Web site. Records of parolees and proba­tioners will be added later.

W hat will be available? Inm ates’ height, weight, date of birth, race, gen­der, each crime for which they were convicted, sentence and county of con­viction.

Social Security num bers and the names of their nearest relatives will remain confidential, however.

As for escapees from prison or prison camp, the ir photos can be placed on-line within a half hour or so,

available for immediate broadcast by television stations and for publication by newspapers.

More than likely, those who will use the site most will be journalists researching news stories and employ­ers reviewing job applicants, though there’s nothing to prevent its use, say, to check on a potential mate. “Bill says he’s never been in prison; let’s find out,” Davis said.

Detroit attorney Kenneth Hylton Jr. is concerned th a t such Web sites foster a “sense of distrust in society. It sug­gests we ought to check up on our neighbors and see what they’ve been up to in past lives.”

“The next thing,” he said, “is that once you get out of prison, you are assumed from that point on to be a "bad’ person, someone everyone needs to keep tabs on, like an animal tagged with a microchip. W hat’s the next step? Following or tagging people you deem undesirable?”

And because it is so easy to copy photographs off a Web site, what’s to prevent the face of one of Michigan’s most notorious from showing up on the cover of a neighborhood flyer? A Michigan convict could even find his face plastered in the pages of a com­puter-generated grade-school project on crime.

Davis said the public will be able to use the Corrections Department Web site for other purposes as well, includ­ing:■ Announcing each month the names of inmates who have completed their sentences or have been released on parole.■ Asking policy-related questions - such as why Michigan doesn’t have chain gangs - and getting answers.■ Reading departm ent new sletters and publications.■ And linking to Internet sites main­tained by other state prison systems.

Appeals court upholds sentenceBy Eric Freedm anJournal Lansing Bureau

A federal appeals court unanim ous­ly upheld the felony conviction and 30- month prison term of the former asso­ciate director of Michigan’s scandal- plagued House Fiscal Agency.

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati rejected an effort by Warren Gregory to overturn his con­victions for filing false income tax returns and for in terstate transporta­tion of stolen property.

Gregory was one of 10 state officials, employees and consultants for the agency convicted in a corruption investigation.

The agency advises the Legislature on tax and budget issues.

On appeal Gregory unsuccessfully

argued tha t his cooperation with state investigators gave him immunity from federal charges.

The three-judge panel rejected that argum ent and also found the sentence appropriate.

In an opinion written by visiting Judge Avern Cohn of Detroit, the court turned down a series of argu­ments.

It also said Gregory is not entitled to a new trial despite possibly prejudicial references to his involvement in an aborted scheme to sell weapons to Croatia.

Some of the money embezzled from the House Fiscal Agency was used to hire a lobbyist to help Gregory and his associates get federal government approval for the weapons deal.

An Open Letter To Union Members:

1 have received a memorandum from the AFL-CIO regarding their withdrawal o f support for my re-election to City Council. 1 would like to state that I have always supported the unions and at times been their only voice on City Council. It is a sad commentary when you are castigated for one decision. Although the decision was non-binding, it was made on the basis o f content and not support.

Prior to the resolution that is in question, the Detroit City Council approved a resolution in support o f both sides working together towards a peaceful solution. A few weeks later, other Council Members wanted to replace the aforementioned resolution with a more negative and inflammatory resolution. I disagreed with the resolution because I believed that inflaming the issue further would only polarize both sides. My vote against the inflammatory resolution was just that, a vote against the resolution not against the strikers! I cancelled both my subscriptions to the dailies and declined an interview with the editorial board for endorsement. 1 will continue to support the union’s right to strike.

During my six-year tenure on Council, 1 have supported many o f the union’s efforts. For example, I pledged my support on prevailing wages for major city contracts to Mr. Scribner and various unions when they came to me during my initial year on Council, and it prevailed. 1 have fought for support and brought issues to the City Council that concerned the D.O.T. bus drivers, the EMS union members, Housing Commission Workers and union members at the DIA. I also voted to support the sale o f the Veteran Memorial Building for a Ford-UAW Training Center. When the jobs o f the union employees working for the Home Weatherization program were threatened, I brought the issue to Council and the situation was resolved.

I have not and will not waiver in my support. My job is to secure a good quality o f life in this City for workers within the unions and the citizenry at large. It is a commitment I take seriously. It is unfortu­nate that the selection panel feels that one non-binding resolu­tion can dissolve years worth o f support.However, I leave the support issue to those o f you who are fully aware o f my record o f working with you and for you! My job is to serve the citizens o f this great city one and all.

Sincerely, Kay EverettDetroit C ity

With the newspaper strike/lockout now 26 m onths old, new audited fig­ures for The Detroit News and Free Press make it official: Relatively few readers are returning to the papers.

The new num bers show th a t on average almost one out of three sub­scribers to the daily Detroit News and Free Press has stopped taking the papers over the last two years.

Specifically, the Detroit News’ aver­age daily circulation was reported as 239,853, down from the 351,366 reported in the prestrike audit of March 1995. Free Press circulation was 365,790, down from 537,353.

Sunday circulation for the combined editions followed the same trend. It dropped 28.5 percent, falling from 1,113,773 to 796,468.

The figures were received Monday from the Audit Bureau of Circula­tions, an independent company in Schaumburg, 111., th a t certifies circula­

tion figures for advertisers.As of Friday, neither Detroit paper

had reported the new figures, accord­ing to Kris McKean, Detroit News­papers m arketing research director. She said she understood the results would be published Oct. 1.

The results were not what newspa­per executives had predicted. For example, last Nov. 3 The Detroit News reported its Sunday sales had risen to 833,736 during the first two weeks of October. Robert Giles, then the News publisher, said: ‘W e’ve known all along th a t our circulation was going to build and continue to build. You will see this trend continue for quite some time.”

The recently released figures did indicate some slight progress over fig­ures released last year. From March 1996 to March 1997, the News’ aver­age daily circulation inched up from 225,260 to 239,853. Free Press daily circulation rose from 351,438 to 365,790. And the combined Sunday edition went from 769,594 to 796,468.

But even with tha t slight bump, the numbers remained far below the ones reported a few m onths before the strike.

And newspaper observers said it could be many years before the papers regain their prestrike levels.

Jack Howe, president of Graphic Communications International Union Local 13N, said the audited figures are “representative of what we’ve been saying right along. The News and Free Press have never regained their circu­lation - nowhere near it.”

For potential advertisers, there is cause for alarm in the recent num ­bers.

Home delivery in the lucrative city and retail trading zone, which approx­im ates the m etropolitan area, remained depressed. For the Sunday paper, the March 1997 figure was down 37 percent from the 1995 pre­strike figure. The figures for the daily Free Press were down 39 per­cent. And the daily Detroit News was

down 40 percent.Ed Scribner, president of the Metro

D etroit AFL-CIO, said he doubted many people would believe the news­papers had gained circulation in the 12 m onths after M arch 1996.

“It is almost like these folks came out of the cave two years ago,” said Scribner of newspaper management. “There is getting to be a culture, and it is this - th a t neither the News or the Free Press is part of this community. I th ink it is going to be a long stretch before they get back the loyalty of this community.”

The papers have made a massive effort to regain circulation lost during the strike. They have advertised heav­ily. Distribution through stores may be wider than before the strike. There have been numerous joint promotions. And telem arketers have probably called m ost homes in southeast Michigan repeatedly.

Union circulation boycotts, demon­strations and other activities continue.

State mediator looks in vain for bargain

By A lan ForsythJournal S ta ff W riter

The parties have continued to bar­gain throughout the strike and rem ain unable to agree on hun­dreds of issues,” wrote U.S. District Judge John Corbett O’M eara in his Aug. 14

decision denying an injunction th a t would have sent most locked-out workers back to their jobs a t the newspapers.

He was right - if you consider being in the same building bargaining.

State mediator Ed Philips called Detroit Newspapers and Detroit Typographical Union Local 18 to the State of Michigan Building downtown last Tuesday.

The two sides sat in separate rooms.“The mediator asked us w hat we wanted,”

said union president Sam Attard. “We said we want a contract, and we want our jobs back. Then he went to them. They did not receive it well. Somehow the conversation turned to buyouts. They wanted us to tell them w hat it would take to buy us out. They didn’t want it to be as lucrative as last time. We said no to that. We said we want our jobs back.”

So the parties continued to bargain, as the judge would say.

It lasted about 35 minutes.

Trickling backThe pace of worker recalls is going even

slower than bargaining. Since February, when the six striking union locals made unconditional offers to re tu rn to work, 316 workers have gone back. Thirty-eight were

recalled between Aug. 6 and Sept. 17.Of the hundreds of home-delivery district

m anagers and warehouse workers in Teamsters Local 372, not one has been asked to return.

Hearings crank upThe reinstatem ent of nearly 80 discharged

newspaper strikers will be a t issue when an NLRB trial resumes before Administrative Law Judge Richard Scully a t 11 a.m.Monday a t the NLRB offices in the McNamara Federal Building, Michigan and Cass, in Detroit. The papers have fired about 190 workers for alleged picket-line miscon­duct. This hearing is for an initial group of 78 firings tha t the NLRB says are illegal, according to Lou Mleczko, president of Newspaper Guild Local 22.

The hearings are open to the public.On Tuesday, pretrial hearings are sched­

uled for U.S. Rep. David Bonior and five oth­ers charged with trespassing on July 11 after refusing to leave the Detroit News building, where they’d gone to demand rein­statem ent of locked-out workers.

Also arrested were Gloria Cobbin, secre- tary-treasury of the Metro Detroit AFL-CIO; Bob King, executive director of UAW Region 1A; Brad Markell, instructor a t the Wayne State University School of Labor Studies; the Rev. John Nowlan of St. Hilary’s Catholic Church, Redford, and Vanessa Sylvester, organizing director for Local 951 of the United Food and Commercial Workers union.

State mental hospitals to stay open, judge rulesBy Sunday Journal staff

A Wayne County Circuit Court judge issued a permanent injunction Friday blocking the closing of three state mental hospitals: Detroit Psychiatric Institute, Clinton Valley Center in Pontiac and Pheasant Ridge Chil­dren’s Center in Kalamazoo.

In issuing the ruling, Wayne County Circuit Court Judge J.W. Callahan said the state’s policy on the closings violates the Michigan Constitution.

“The defendant State of Michigan has a policy against the continuation of fostering or supporting of ‘institu­tions ... for the care, treatment, educa­tion, or rehabilitation of those inhabi­tants who are ... mentally or other­wise seriously handicapped,’ ” he said.

The state is expected to appeal the

decision to the Michigan Court of Appeals.

The Alliance for the Mentally 111 of Michigan and UAW Local 6000 are among plaintiffs in the case. Local 6000 represents state workers.

If the closing had taken place, Hawthorn Center in Northville would be the only long-term psychiatric-care facility for children in the state, said Local 6000 president Lynda Taylor- Lewis.

“The people of Michigan made a promise that mentally ill people would be taken care of in this state,” Taylor- Lewis said. “Then Engler’s crew came into office, arrogantly thinking they could alter that fundamental decision by the people of Michigan and leave people to fend for themselves.”

survive financially. And money prob­lems figured significantly in the Grosse Pointe-Clinton’s demise.

Not that the dismantling of the Grosse Pointe-Clinton comes as any surprise. It has been in trouble at least a year.

They were losing about $100,000 a month. There was growing political pressure to close it down from several of the eight east-side communities it served, including some very public grumbling by Clinton Township and Mt. Clemens.

Still, the authority’s decision to shut down the incinerator sometime later this fall was a shocker.

The plant’s operators had brain­stormed several creative solutions to solve burgeoning money woes. They built an experimental road of inciner­ator ash and concrete, hoping tests would show it safe and they could use the ash rather than pay a landfill to accept it.

But they failed to secure permits to build the road and were forced to tear it up by Clinton Township and Michigan’s Department of Environ­mental Quality.

A court decision limiting the amount the incinerator could charge its eight east-side communities played a part in the Grosse Pointe-Clinton’s money problems.

Extensive community recycling efforts and nose-diving rates at area landfills were what finally forced it out of business.

McArdle believes the Grosse Pointe- Clinton’s problems ought to serve as ample warning for Dearborn Heights, Westland and three other Wayne County communities that have signed on with the Central Wayne facility.

Though all have signed contracts with the facility’s private operator, Constellation Power Inc., the state DEQ is still deciding whether to grant a license to expand the plant.

The DEQ is expected to decide sometime before Jan. 1.

1920s mystery gets Detroit details rightBy Susan W hitallJournal S ta ff W riter

“WAR HERO KILLS BOLSHEVIK: A four-word headline in the morning edition of the Detroit Journal. Four words, stark and black. And three of them wrong.”

Oops - can’t be our Journal. No, in his latest Mickey Rawlings baseball mystery, “Hunting a Detroit Tiger” (Kensington Publishing Corp., $18.95, 343 pages), author Troy Soos has Rawlings playing for the 1920 Detroit Tigers, and for historical accuracy he cites newspapers of the era such as the ’20s-vintage Journal.

“I used the Detroit Journal because it was something that people might remember but didn’t think of as being currently published,” says Soos, by phone from his Florida home. “Of course, that was when I first started writing the book, which was before the newspaper strike, before you guys started up.”

Soos came here to research the streets, hotels and restaurants of post- World War I Detroit, a town just on the verge of boom times, with the automobile business surging and new buildings going up all around.

So thanks to his research at the Detroit Public Library, the historically correct Rawlings lives in a walk-up on Grand River, not too far from Navin Field (now Tiger Stadium); he meets a man at the Hotel Tuller on Park; he has dinner over in Windsor, where he can enjoy a legal Labatt’s (Prohibition was in full swing in 1920), and catch­es a Detroit S tars (of the Negro League) game at Mack Park (at Fairview).

Rawlings, a fictional Tigers player and World War I vet, is wrongly blamed for the death of a union orga­nizer. He has both union busters and union agitators chasing him, so he explores Detroit’s labor underground in order to find a motive for the real killer.

There are all sorts of details about 1920s baseball; Soos particularly likes to describe the clash between the old- fashioned game, which required more strategy, and the (at the time) newer, flashier, home run-driven sport. His sympathies obviously lie more with a scrapper like Rawlings, a utility inflelder. Rawlings had fo be smarter than the average player.

“I had to make him as plausible an amateur detective as I could,” says Soos. “And it’s kind of tough to do; if you’ve ever seen Roger Clemens give an interview, you wonder how he ever could find his way to the ballpark. This isn’t someone you want investi­gating a murder case!

“But someone like Mickey Rawlings has to play with his head, he has to use strategy, he has to be watching the opposition to see if he can lay down a bunt, maybe steal their signs. Those qualities of observation and strategy and tenacity are the same things that

make a good amateur detective.”But almost as important as the

baseball lore is the social history Soos weaves into his narrative. The book in the Rawlings series before “Detroit Tiger” was “Murder at Wrigley Field,” set in 1918. In it Soos details many of the atrocities that were going on back on the homefront during World War I.

“The conductor of the Boston Symphony was put in jail for playing German composers like Mozart,” says Soos. “And a number of people in these ultrapatriotic organizations like the Klan started moving against foreign­ers and union agitators and things like that. That was a lot of the momen­tum for the Palmer Raids and things, it was sort of a carryover from World War I.”

The Palmer Raids were carried out against suspected “Reds,” a catch-all term that included unionists, Wob- blies (members of the International Workers of the World union, or IWW), anarchists, foreigners, communists and anyone else U.S. Attorney General Mitchell Palmer was annoyed with at the time. Palmer lost the 1920 presi­dential primary in Michigan, and he blamed it on the Red element, citing Detroit as a “hotbed” of radicals.

“Knowing about the Palmer Raids and what had been happening at that

time,” Soos continues, “I knew I want­ed to have labor issues incorporated into the plot. I thought Detroit would be a great place to do it, with such a good union history there. And with the automobile industry growing at that time, I thought I’d include some things people are familiar with.”

Some of those familiar things include a character, Hub Dobson, based on Harry Bennett, the infamous head of Ford Motor Co.’s private secu­rity force. Bennett’s job had more to do with quashing union organizing in the plants than “security.”

In the book Dobson moonlights from his Ford job, plying his union-busting trade for the American League, which was trying to discourage a players’ union.

In another true-life detail, Soos has a member of the IWW, who’d been fired from Ford for union organizing, demonstrate the “Ford Whisper” to Rawlings.

“Ford had spotters to watch people and make sure they weren’t talking on the assembly line,” explains Soos, “and so people would talk to each other without moving their lips - that’s the Ford Whisper.”

Soos also did research in the archives of the Justice Department where he found, in a file written by an

Thanks to research by author Troy Soos, above, at the Detroit Public Library, the historically correct Mickey Rawlings in the book “Hunting a Detroit Tiger" lives in a walk-up on Grand River, not too far from Navin Field (now Tiger Stadium); he meets a man at the Hotel Tuller on Park; he has dinner over in Windsor, where he can enjoy a legal Labatt’s (Prohibition was in full swing in 1920), and he catches a Detroit Stars (of the Negro League) game at Mack Park (at Fairview).

informant, the location of the IWW’s meeting hall in Detroit.

“A lot of the things I have the IWW doing were true, too,” says Soos. “The way workers would put mustard seed into the concrete that would then start to grow and crumble the con­crete. These are issues that are still being debated now; to what extent do you go for the cause? Do you use sabo­tage or not?”

Rawlings s tarts out ambivalent about the players’ union but comes to realize its importance, and to admire the idealism of many of his new union agitator friends.

Soos’ love of old-time baseball was partly inspired by what he calls “the greatest baseball book ever written,” Lawrence Ritter’s, “The Glory of Their Times,” which includes interviews with players from around the turn of the century. Ritter shared many of his tapes with Soos, for research purpos­es.

So it isn’t too hard to guess how the author feels about the destruction of classic ballparks.

“I think it’s a shame to tear down the old parks like Tiger Stadium,” he says. “I can see the reason to build parks like Coors Field (in Denver) and Jacobs Field in Cleveland. But I’d love to see some of the old ballparks kept, at least for exhibitions. I believe that’s the plan in Boston; the Red Sox are going to leave Fenway Park, but the park itself is going to stay there and be used for other purposes.”

36th District Court, 421 Madison, Detroit.

How to abuse workersDid you ever want to know “how to

fire employees with attitude prob­lems legally”? How about “avoiding claims for unpaid overtime”?

Those were among the advertised topics for a daylong seminar by the law firm Butzel Long, which has long represented Detroit Newspapers.

About 80 union activists turned out to picket the seminar at the Dear­born Inn Thursday and found a siz­able number of Dearborn police guarding the inn. More officers were at police headquarters, decked out in riot attire.

Police said there were no problems.Another DN attorney, formerly

with Butzel Long, weighed in on “the rights of strikers, replacement work­ers and management” at the State Bar of Michigan’s annual convention last week.

Replacements should have the same rights as strikers but have none, said Robert Vercruysse. As they try to go to work, they are intimidat­ed by strikers.

The rights of strikers, said UAW lawyer Leonard Page, include the “right” to be forced out on strike, to be locked out and then to wait for

National Labor Relations Board action so long it does no good.Friendly Monterey

Five locked-out workers from Detroit have found people in Monterey, Calif., concerned about Knight-Ridder Inc.’s treatment of workers at the Monterey County Herald. In three hours there, the Detroiters collected 300 pledges to cancel subscriptions or not buy the paper in the event of a strike.

After Knight-Ridder obtained the paper in a swap, the company announced it wouldn’t accept con­tracts of three unions, fired all the union members, then rehired all but about 25 workers, most of whom are older than 40.

In one bargaining session with the San Jose Newspaper Guild, which represents most of the Herald’s unionized workers, a K-R lawyer unveiled proposals unlikely ever to lead to an agreement.

In the meantime, “we are building our support. That takes some time,” said Newspaper Guild administra­tive Officer Luther Jackson, a former Free Press reporter.

“The key thing we are doing is get­ting power in the community. We have a very active speakers’ bureau. We have a group that is modeled after Readers United that is meeting and giving us ideas about actions.”

Readers United is a Detroit-area citizens’ group that was formed in support of the newspaper workers.

Guilty pleasThree people pleaded guilty in fed­

eral court in New York last week and agreed to work with prosecutors investigating contributions to Teamsters President Ron Carey’s re- election campaign.

The three are Jere Nash, Carey’s former campaign manager; Martin Davis, a Washington political consul­tant, and Michael Ansara, who owns a Massachusetts telemarketing firm.

A new election was ordered last month by federal election monitor Barbara Zack Quindel, who over­turned Carey’s victory over James P. Hoffa but did not implicate Carey.

Last week she said she is reviewing that decision, in light of new evi­dence.

NotesAfter Journal staff writer Eric

There was only one such card, he said. ... A Detroit Newspapers newsletter for circulation workers reports 23,196 phone calls were received in the week ending Aug. 24. The O’Meara decision denying the injunction to return locked-out work­ers was announced Aug. 14. The next day extra workers were brought in to deal with cancellation orders from people who had believed the labor dispute was settled but learned oth­erwise from news reports about the injunction.

Proposal A—Fact vs FictionProposal A has pre t ty m uch lived up to our ex­

pectations.

We never expected the four-year-old school funding system would result in equity or a quality education for all children.

And it h a sn ’t.Rich, poor, suburban , u rban and rural

school d is tric ts alike are struggling with m any of the sam e p roblem s they struggled with before Pro­posal A passed.

H un d red s of school d is tr ic ts ac ross Michigan still have too few reso u rces to fix c ru m ­bling build ings, u p d a te techno logy or offer all ou r public school ch ild ren the kind of educa tion necessa ry to succeed in the w orkplace of the next century .

Doyle Disbrow, su p e r in te n d e n t of Kalkas­ka Public Schools and an early critic of Proposal A sum s it up best: “The poor school d is tr ic ts are still poor and the rich are still rich. We are not a p ­preciably be tte r in Kalkaska now than we were b e ­fore Proposal A.”

Neither are troubled u rban districts. They have seen virtually no relief u n d e r Proposal A, and they were s tung by the governor’s recent veto of millions in aid for at-risk s tuden ts .

Neither are high-growth districts. They are struggling to keep up with the cost of repairing old facilities and building new ones.

Even affluent districts are losing ground be­cause their funding has not kept pace with inflation.

No doubt some school distric ts—especially poor rural ones—have more m oney under Proposal A. But many of them are worried, too. They know that today’s boom could become tom orrow ’s d isas­

ter because school funding is now tied to the sales tax, which is less stable than property taxes and more vulnerable to economic dow nturns.

And they know that un less the Legislature p u m p s far more m oney into ou r public schools, they will always be poor.

An illusion o f su ccessYet som e politicians are touting Proposal A

as a great public school reform. They’re saying it has given every child in Michigan the o p portun ity for a “world class education .”

That is an illusion.Kalkaska, a 2 ,000-student rural district

near Traverse City, should be a w inner u n d e r Pro­posal A. It has seen a significant increase in its per pupil allowance. But it w asn ’t enough to offset the $2.2 million the district lost this year because of a decline in enrollm ent, the loss of funding for at- risk children and the expiration of a one-time, so- called enhancem en t millage.

The district still canno t afford busing for the 1,200 s tu d en ts who need it. And it has elimi­nated adm inis tra tors , teachers and cus tod ians to make ends meet.

Kalkaska m ade headlines nationally in 1993 when educa to rs there decided to close schools early because they had run out of money to operate the kind of high quality program they believed s tu d en ts deserved.

“Our kids deserved calculus and French ju s t like kids in wealthier d is tr ic ts ,” Disbrow said.“I w asn ’t going to decim ate those program s ju s t so we could make it a full 180 days.”

Some politicians promised that there would be no more Kalkaskas under Proposal A.

Julius A. Maddox MEA president

“No op tion s”But Proposal A

robbed local com m unit ie s of the chance to im prove the ir lot.

Most school officials do not miss the countless hours they used to spend on millage elections. They do, however, miss having that option.

Proposal A cut p ro p e r ­ty taxes and m ade the bulk of school funding d ep en d en t on an increased sales tax that is controlled entirely by the Legislature. School d is tric ts can jo in forces and seek county- wide millages, but tha t has proven to be even more time consum ing and difficult than the old system.

“We have no real o p tions ,” Disbrow said. “We are com pletely u n d e r the th u m b s of the politi­cians in Lansing. T ha t’s scary.”

That’s why we m ust sha tte r the illusion that Proposal A has solved the equity problem and reform ed public education.

Proposal A has for m ost of us done little more than shift taxes.

So as we near Election ’98, public school em ­ployees, administrators, parents and business and community leaders should find out what Proposal A has really done for their local school district.

Then help us move from illusion to reality by electing lawmakers who are willing to pay the full price for a world class education.

Only then will all of ou r children have an equal o p portun ity to succeed.

Bad roads batter wallets of motorists

It ’s true; there are roads worse than those in Michigan. For example, Iowa has more roads in worse need of repair. So does

Illinois. Oklahoma. Arkansas. Even Florida has worse roads, and it doesn’t have radical temperature shifts to worry about. Who woulda thunk it.

Hallelujah ...? Well, maybe not quite yet. Out of 38 states surveyed for road conditions in urban areas - as compared to the suburbs - Michigan ranks 16th on a list of tol­erably bad to headshakingly pathet­ic, which is pretty much dead center. Could be better, could be worse, but it’s a little premature for the cham­pagne.

Here’s how bad the situation is: According to a study released by two public in terest groups, the Surface Transportation Policy Project and the Environmental Working Group, Americans spend at least four times as much money trying to repair road-battered vehi­cles as state highway departments spend on repairing the roads that did the battering. Just bought a new car, eh? You might want to consider buying a new baseball bat to break it in ahead of time. Freeing yourself from th a t love-of-shiny-new-car syndrome is important in a city with pothole disease, and the sooner the better.

To be more specific, the report claims tha t we drivers spend $4.77 billion collectively on an annual basis trying to fix cars tha t have been beaten up by thuggish roads. Comparatively, state highway departments spend $1.3 billion fix­ing those roads according to the report, which studied 38 states with more than 100 miles of urban high­ways.

Bad roads also damage 18-wheel­ers and th a t increases shipping costs. And tha t increases retail costs to consumers. But, it’s heavy big rigs that, combined with winter freezing, do the most damage to roads. In the end, it’s average con­sumers and taxpayers who pay the bills.

More than 25 percent of the most heavily traveled urban roads in the United States are in poor or mediocre condition and require immediate attention. Meanwhile, money for suburban roads seems to

be registering on full. Go figure.The state Senate voted early last

month to impose a 4-cent gasoline tax increase to help pay for improv­ing the conditions of the state’s shell-shocked roads. The proposal is strongly supported by Gov. John Engler as part of his Build Michigan II initiative.

According to Engler, the 4-penny hike, which raises the state gas tax from 15 cents to 19 cents, will pro­vide an additional $200 million in revenue. When combined with other proposed reforms offered by Build Michigan II, which among other things includes getting a larger share of federal government dollars, the sum total is a much-needed $570 million each year - over and above the current available amount - to invest in repairing, resurfacing and repaving Michigan roads, plus new construction.

Over the next five years, the gov­ernor claims that Build Michigan II represents a $2.8 billion increase in state transportation spending. As a comparative note, less than 50 per­cent of all money available to state transportation departments in the 38 states surveyed was actually spent according to the report.

That’s not all.Michigan’s competition isn’t just

states like Indiana that are aggres­sive in wooing new businesses. Our competition in the global economy includes whole nations like Germany, Japan, China and Southeast Asia.

Anything the state can do to give Michigan businesses an advantage, like lowered transportation costs, will be a boost to the state’s econo­my. So, investing in good roads is wise policy, in the short run and over the long haul.

The proof is in the potholes.

•secoiCongress could reform campaign financing by simply restricting pres­idential campaigns to no longer than 90 days. Make that 10 days.

Wages move backward

The most recent government figures show that the wage gap between men and women, after narrowing for several years, has widened again.

This is disturbing news for several reasons.

First, some background. Until about 15 years ago, women on aver­age earned only about 60 cents for every dollar that men earned. The reasons were complex. Discrimi­nation played a part. So did the fact that women tended to be lumped in lower-paid service jobs while men held the higher-paid, unionized, industrial jobs. Also, many women lost out on years of training and pay increases when they took time to raise their families.

Since the early ’80s, the wage gap has shrunk. By the mid-’90s, women were earning 77 percent of what men earned. Better training, a lessening of discrimination and a tendency to delay their child-rearing years let many women move up the pay scale.

However, the most recent govern­ment figures, released a few days ago, show the gap has widened to about 75 percent again. Economists argue over the meaning of this. But a few things seem clear.

First, both liberal and conservative economists cite the large number of welfare recipients re-entering the work force under “workfare” schemes as a factor. Vast numbers of single mothers, many of whom are relative­ly unskilled, are being forced into a job market that is not ready for them.

The result is a swelling of the labor force a t the lower end of the pay

scale. With so many new workers, wages are depressed. Surely our wel­fare “reformers” in Washington didn’t intend their handiwork to result in a dogfight among minimum wage earners for the few jobs that are left. Yet tha t is what seems to be taking place.

Another disturbing piece of news reflects what is happening to men in our work force. One reason the wage gap narrowed so dramatically in recent years was not that women were moving up the scale so quickly but tha t men were moving down. High-wage union jobs were being lost as greedy corporations shifted more and more work overseas.

The decline in men’s wages has moderated, even reversed, a bit thanks to the booming economy. But the long-range problem hasn’t gone away. Companies are still seeking every dodge they can find to lower workers’ pay.

This, then, is the meaning of the new wage-gap figures. Both for poor­er women and unionized men - two huge groups of Americans - the wage battle has become an uneven contest between American values and the forces of greed.

Surely what would be best for us all is for employers to pay an American wage to everyone. That would be a wage that permits work­ers to marry, raise families, live in houses of their own and take modest vacations each year.

That shouldn’t be too much for American workers to ask for. Yet, as the latest government figures show, even th a t is too much for many employers.

Countdown to a new millenium adds up to hype, hysteriaBy M ike B est

Are you ready for the big bash? It’s just around the corner.

We’re talking third millennium, when we bid farewell to the past thousand-year period (second millennium) and greet the next thousand.

Who’s invited? The majority of the world’s popula­tion, those who include a “BC” or an “AD” in their dates.

Before Star Wars, we had little use for “millenni­um” in our day-to-day vocabulary. But once we’d seen tha t three-part space opera, we became famil­iar with Han Solo’s (Harrison Ford) faster-than-light space ship, the Millennium Falcon.

Today, most people recognize the word “millenni­um” as meaning thousand.

Remember the adage, “you can only count on death and taxes”? You can add: “Kooks crawl out of the woodwork whenever the word millennium is used.”

Plan on being barraged by warnings of cata­clysmic events coming from those who will seek profit and notoriety during the countdown to the millennium. They’ll probably preach about the end of the world. Case in point - the Branch Davidian cult in Waco.

Steel yourselves for an onslaught of books, lec­tures and articles on doom and gloom. Note that these very same authors and lecturers are often

involved in protestation that the Earth is flat, we really didn’t go to the moon, the Holocaust didn’t happen and space aliens are walking among us.

Invariably the kooks will offer as evidence the dis­astrous floods, earthquakes, tidal waves, hurricanes, tornadoes and volcanic activity we’ve recently been experiencing. Inasmuch as the word “disaster” comes from the Latin, “bad star,” they’ll probably throw in comets Shoemake-Levy (it struck the planet Jupiter), Hykutake and Hale-Bopp.

Is there any tru th to all this nonsense? Are there disasters lurking just around the millennium cor­ner?

In a word, no. Earth has endured countless thou­sands disastrous events over the past 4.5 billion years. Seldom did nations crumble, monarchs die or political systems collapse. But you might have diffi­culty convincing a dinosaur how safe it will be.

An asteroid struck the Gulf of Mexico and wiped out the dinosaurs and about 70 percent of all life on Earth 65 million years ago. So the doom and gloom crowd does have that argument going for them.

Here’s some information the kooks may not have caught onto yet. Seven months prior to the third mil­lennium, a spectacular celestial event will take place.

On May 5, 2000, five planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) will be roughly aligned on the far side of the Sun. You won’t notice the event unless you read the tabloids.

You should be aware tha t the sun is always one million miles closer to Earth in January than it is in July. Honest! The reason it’s hotter in July is because the sun’s rays h it us straight on. In January, although the Sun is closer, its rays hit us a t a low angle.

This means that in January 2000, the Sun’s grav­ity will attract Earth with greater force than it will five months later on May 5, even though there will be an additional, although minuscule, gravitational effect from those planets being in alignment.

There is something you must watch out for.Just about 99.9 percent of us will pop champagne

corks to greet the new millennium a t midnight, Dec. 31, 1999. Unfortunately, the event doesn’t occur until midnight Dec. 31, 2000.

That’s because our BC-AD calendar has never taken into account the year 0 (zero).

Roman numerals don’t have a zero and the Roman Catholic Church used Roman numerals for the mod­ern calendar. So our calendar has always been one year behind. The year +1 is the same as 1 AD. The year 0 is the same as 1 BC. Likewise, the year -1 is 2 BC, etc.

So just relax and enjoy the big bash. But make sure you party on the correct date.

Diana column in bad tasteThe column by Susan Hall-Balduf

was in such bad taste, I am surprised you would print it. Princess Di is dead and you should let her rest in peace. She certainly didn’t have any peace from the media while she was alive.

It’s good to see so many people in the United States “carrying on,” as Susan puts it, for someone other than an athlete or rock star. At least Diana was a hum anitarian who helped needy people. When was the last time you saw so many people saying the Lord’s Prayer together?

Lou W heelerRoseville

Poor journalismDear Susan Hall-Balduf: Your per­

sonal scathing of Princess Di is poor journalism, to say the least.

If you meant to, through this col­umn, lament your own fate, it is gross­ly poor journalism.

Diana essay upsettingThis woman Susan Hall-Balduf had

no right to vent her feelings about her marriage problems on anyone other than herself - attack a person who’s not to blame because her marriage broke up.

Princess Di, to my knowledge, never hurt anyone. I’m also a member of the middle dass, but I don’t blame Di because I’m not rich. You come across as a very jealous person who should keep her thoughts to herself. It’s

letterswrong to slam a lady who tried to help so many.

Someone didn’t read this essay very well before putting it in the paper. I’m a very upset reader.

Asleep at the wheelHow can there possibly be any cor­

ruption or fraud in the election of International Brotherhood of Team­sters general president Ron Carey?

After all, didn’t the federal govern­ment root out all corruption? Were they asleep at the wheel? Is it possible that calling for another election along with the added threat of not allowing Carey to be in the election, is his pun­ishment for daring to win a decent set­tlement in the United Parcel Service strike?

Chi-chi slugs pick white wine over lo-cal beer

By D iane H ofsess

W hile weeding in my garden the other day, I noticed a school of slugs feast­

ing on my peonies. They were clustered around the stem a t exactly the point where it meets the earth.

I remembered some sage advice about beer and slugs from my sister, Debra Gaunt, who is a horticulturalist. She says placing a pie tin of beer near the infested area will attract the slugs, who will drown in the beer.

I had tried the tactic the previ­ous summer and it worked beau­tifully. So again I followed her directions.

Into the silver tin I poured a cup of Miller Lite and drank the rest myself in celebration of hav­ing done something about pests. The next morning, I triumphant­ly strolled out to the pie tin, expecting to see it full of drowned slugs.

To my surprise, there were none. And I had no more beer in the house.

So I changed strategies.I pulled a half-empty bottle of

1996 Villa Antinori white wine out of the fridge and poured that in the tin.

It's a dry, elegant Italian wine produced in the heart of Tuscany that retails for about $8.50 a boh tie.

I put the wine where the beer had been and waited. I found 10 slugs in permanent slumber inside the pie tin the next day.

What did I learn?First, north Oakland County

slugs seem to prefer white wine to beer.

Secondly, tastes change. What you or your slug friends used to like may not please you anymore. And ones tha t you didn't used to like, you may like now.

Finally, killing slugs is some­how easier when mercy seasons justice. Knowing tha t they died surrounded by a delightful Italian wine made it less diffi­cult.

Channel surfers get waves of new showsTo steal the line CBS is using to promote its new show “Dellaventura”:

This is the big week for television’s fall season, so let’s get right down to cases. Returning series with new episodes include “The

Simpsons” (in New York!), “King of the Hill,” “Touched by an Angel,” “Everybody Loves Raymond,” NBC’s Monday “Must She TV” lineup of “Suddenly Susan,” “Fired Up,” “Caroline in the City” and “The Naked Truth,” “The Drew Carey Show” (on Tuesday and Wednesday night), “Frasier,” “Mad About You” (naming the Buchman baby), “JAG,” “Home Improvement,” “NewsRadio,” “Just Shoot Me,” “Spin City,” “Ellen,” “3rd Rock from the Sun” (guest-starring Roseanne as Dick’s wife in a one-hour premiere), Emmy-winning “Law & Order” (I got one prediction right), “Friends,” “Promised Land,” “Seinfeld,” “ER” (live!) and “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.”

Hold on, let me catch my breath. (Heavy breathing here.) OK, now here are the new shows making their entrances this week. Happy viewing havoc. Oh, by the way, the annual Country Music Association Awards are also buried in this jumble, airing at 8 p.m. Wednesday on CBS (Channel 62 in Detroit).

A rela­tively unknown seven-member cast (led by frequent “Frasier” guest Harriet Sansom Harris) powers this comedy about dreamers who meet regularly at a Manhattan diner to

reassure and insult each other.Maybe it’s more like “Cheers” alcohol- free.■ “Veronica’s Closet,” 9:30 p.m. Thursday, NBC - The “Friends” cre­ative team of M arta Kauffman and David Crane put together this come­dy vehicle for Kirstie Alley, setting her as America’s neurotic “Queen of Romance” noted for her mail-order catalogs of sexy lingerie. If they really want to get my attention, put Kirstie in the lingerie.■ “Teen Angel,” 9:30 p.m. Friday, ABC - A fine supporting cast, includ­ing John Amos, Conchata Ferrell and “Brady Bunch” alum Maureen McCormick as Mom, boosts this new fantasy kid-com from ex-”Simpsons” producers A1 Jean and Mike Reiss. After accepting a dare to eat a six- month-old hamburger - and dying as a result - a teenage joker (Mike Damus) returns to Earth as the guardian angel for his best friend (Corbin Allred).■ “C-16,” 8 p.m. Saturday, ABC - “This is not your father’s FBI!” the ads for this new action hour keep promising. Trendy, high-tech, good looking young feds, led by D.B. Sweeney, Morris Chestnut and a scruffy Eric Roberts. You may end up longing for Efrem Zimbalist Jr.

■ “Total Security,” 9 p.m. Saturday, ABC - Jim Belushi and James Remar lead one of Steven Bochco’s customarily mismatched ensembles as odd-couple pals - one cop, one kook - who run a private security firm. Breezy Saturday night escapism.

Planning for winter gets on a roll now

Journal photo by GEORGE WALDMAN

Nick Todd at Jake’s Automotive in Troy uses a scanner to check the sensors on a car.

Check this list of tips

By M artha H indesJournal Automotive Writer

A good w inter checkup takes the chill out of repair bills.

W hat’s the most im portant thing to do to prepare your car for winter?

“Give it a physical,” says automo­tive repair specialist Joe Jacob.

Owners who don’t listen to their vehicle’s complaints are simply ask­ing for trouble, says Jacob, who owns Jak e ’s Automotive in Troy. Neglecting a car is like neglecting an illness: You could wind up having to pay for major trea tm ent in an em er­gency room when the initial problem could have been solved by a quick visit to the doctor’s office.

If a vehicle runs badly or the “check engine” light comes on or a noise keeps growing louder, the car is giving a signal th a t something’s awry. And the old rules about a checklist of seasonal vehicle repairs aren’t sufficient in the age of com­puter-aided autos.

A vehicle built during the late 1990s can have a major computer system th a t monitors as many as 140 different trouble codes for every­thing from an oxygen sensor for pol­lution control to the transm ission’s overdrive not kicking in, says Chris Maciag.

Maciag is m anager of service and training a t AC Delco, p art of General Motors Service P arts O perations th a t m ake afte rm arket parts for m any U.S. and import vehicles.

A screwdriver and shop light ju s t don’t cut it in an age when anti-lock brakes or other systems require com­puter checks to find problems.

Maciag and Jacob agree th a t the first crucial checklist for any vehicle is the owner’s m anual. I t contains a specific repair schedule for the par­ticular vehicle.

W hat can go wrong if a vehicle isn’t properly m aintained? Take your pick.

Neglecting t h e / s t r u t s , shock absorbers or tire alignm ent can cause suspension parts to wear out prematurely. A missed or improperly done tune-up can plug up a catalytic converter. Refilling an unflushed rad ia to r w ith fresh antifreeze /coolant can cause a leak.

Bad batteries present some of the biggest problems to w inter driving, according to Maciag. Frayed battery cables, cracked b a tte ries or acid build-up around the term inals can interfere with the flow of electricity and m ake it harder to s ta rt a vehicle.

“Every time you s ta rt a car you are discharging th a t battery some,” says Maciag. “The alternator charges it back up. T hat’s called a battery cycle. But each battery cycle takes some life away from your battery.”

W hereas a seasonal m aintenance check on a car not covered by a war­

ran ty m ight run about $100, letting things go can cost a lot more.

According to Jacob, replacing a bad converter could cost $200 to $300, while faulty brakes could run in the $500 to $600 range. Other neglected repairs could push the repair bill much higher.

Both experts recommended oil and oil filter changes a t least every 3,000 miles to protect the engine, but they note th a t driving patterns affect the condition of the oil. Freeway driving tends to destroy the oil less since the engine gets hot enough to burn off contam inants, says Maciag. W ith short trips, a vehicle doesn’t get hot enough to bum them off.

After checking the vehicle manual, w hat should a car owner expect to get in a w inter checkup?

“A good shop is going to look a t those things such as the electrical system,” says Maciag. They’re going to look a t the oil change and filter and also check all the fluids. They’re going to make sure the coolant has the proper tem perature rating and do a visual check on belts and hoses to make sure they are not cracked or worn. And they’re going to visually check the tires and tire pressure.”

Maciag offers one final low-tech winterizing suggestion to make sure a vehicle can survive damage from road salt and grime: a good wash and wax job.

By Martha H indesJournal Automotive Writer

The N ational In stitu te for Automotive Service Excellence has a checklist of winter car care tips :

A good mechanic will follow a 10- point list developed by ASE, accord­ing to institute spokesman Richard White. They are:

1. Electrical system. Electrical fail­ures from faulty batteries or spark plugs are responsible for the greatest number of road service calls.

2. Ignition system. It can take as much as 40,000 volts of electricity to ignite the fuel-air mix to s tart a vehi­cle. A basic tune-up covers ignition, fuel system and emission control components.

3. Emissions control system. Today’s on-board vehicle computers responsible for eliminating pollution are extremely complex and sensitive. When they work improperly, car per­formance suffers.

4. Fuel system. W hether carburetor or electronic fuel injection, dirt is an engine’s worst enemy. Clean fuel fil­ters and good fuel lines can keep this system working and delay the need for an overhaul.

5. Cooling system. A vehicle’s radi­ator depends on good coolant/anti­

freeze which protects the engine from locking up. Thermostats, water pump and on newer vehicles an elec­trically driven fan and switches, are other components th a t should be checked.

6. Below the car systems. Tires, brakes, steering and suspension in good condition can provide the trac­tion, steering and ride control th a t keeps a car on the road during bad weather. Wheel balancing and align­m ent and sufficient tire tread are vital.

7. Fluids and filters. These include the basic oil change and filter, and a check of filters for fuel and air. For automatic transm ission vehicles, a good rule is to change the fluid and filter a t least every two years or 25,000 miles.

8. Seeing and being seen. Defrosters, lights, wipers and wash­ers need to be in good working order. T hat’s especially im portant a t night when visibility is poorer.

9. Outside stuff. I t m ight not make the driving any easier, but keeping a vehicle clean and waxed could pro­tect it from rust or corrosion.

10. Emergencies. Besides a good working jack, a good emergency kit is a m ust for bad weather.

Prepare for the worst, and you’ll be coolBy Martha HindesJournal Automotive Writer

W inter driving in states like Michigan, where the weather can turn nasty faster than a teenager can change moods, requires some addi­tional precautions.

One is a well-stocked kit of emer­gency supplies to make sure you can get yourself out of trouble. But besides a cup of hot coffee to warm the fingers and a candy bar for ener­gy when changing a tire, there are some basic items tha t can make the difference between distress and safe arrival at your destination.

Here’s what driving safety experts say you need:■ Emergency flares or reflectors to warn oncoming traffic. If you are sit­ting helplessly a t the edge of the road and traffic is zooming by, you want to

If you break down, clear any snow out of the exhaust pipe

and periodically turn on the engine to warm the inside until help arrives.

alert drivers to your presence.■ A cell phone or a CB radio to call for help.■ Your owner’s manual. It might have emergency numbers or tips on what to do if you’re stalled or stuck.■ Jumper cables and the know-how to use them. Just about any car with a decent battery can be used to

recharge a dead one, but drivers need to remember tha t the red clamps are attached to the positive - or “hot” - terminals on both batteries and the black ones to the negative ones. If you aren’t sure how to use them, ask your local mechanic or road service professional to give you a demonstration. An improperly con­nected battery could explode.■ A basic tool kit containing a vari­ety of screwdrivers, wrenches and other items to aid with elementary repairs. For example, a tire often can’t be changed until a rusty wheel cover has been pried loose.■ A good flashlight and an extra set of fresh flashlight batteries.■ An extra gallon of windshield washer fluid. Reservoirs are quickly depleted from cleaning off salty road spray.■ A can of compressed air to inflate a flat tire so you can get to a service station for repair. Tire sealant that temporarily plugs a leak is also available.■ A shovel, chains and sand or other abrasive material. These are espe­cially helpful in remote areas with deep snow.■ A large “HELP” sign written in big,

bright letters to stick on your car if you’re out of cell phone range.■ Some experts suggest carrying tape or even a length of rope or fabric to seal a leak. For example, taping a break in a water hose could give you enough time to reach a repair facility if no other help is available.■ Boots, warm socks and a blanket. If you can’t get your car going, plan to bundle up. Clear any snow out of the exhaust pipe and periodically turn on the engine to warm the inside with­out running out of fuel until help arrives.■ An extra set of windshield wiper blades. If you have your wipers checked every month or two for signs of wear, you won’t need to carry them.

Some other items tha t can make winter driving easier:■ Disposable gloves to protect your hands if you need to make a repair.■ A can of lock lubricant to thaw a frozen lock. If you don’t have any lubricant, heating your door key with a match might do the trick.■ And safety experts suggest that a small “center punch” found at hard­ware stores and kept handy in the passenger compartment can be used to break out a side window if needed.

A good mechanic makes a differenceBy Martha HindesJournal Automotive Writer

Most drivers can tell if something’s not quite righ t w ith the car or truck they are driving. There’s th a t unnerv­ing “clunk,” or a constant rattling sound, or the futile “r r r r r r r r r r r r ” when the engine won’t catch on a cold morning.

B ut finding someone dependable to fix it can be a challenge.

Beyond having a long-tim e mechanic w ith a proven ability, or the recommendation of a tru sted friend, how does one find a dependable worker w ith the skills to fix a vehicle without resorting to the trial-and- error method.

O rganizations such as the C ar Care Council of Port Clinton, Ohio, th ink they have the answer.

According to council spokeswoman Donna Wagner, a National Institu te for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) recommendation is one of the best ways to ensure a mechanic is properly trained because of the way it tests and certifies mechanics in the la test repair techniques.

“They are actually technician certi­fied,” says Wagner. “You can see if they are certified in the type of repair

The best time to find a good mechanic is before you need one. Start to look while the weather

is still good and plan on having winter prepping done by September or October.

you are looking for. They all carry credentials th a t should be up-to- date.”

Those with advanced certification credentials voluntarily have taken and passed eight critical areas of vehicle repair, according to Wagner. T hat m eans eight M aster Auto Technician exams covering engines, brakes, heating and air-conditioning, transm issions and every other part of a vehicle.

ASE is ju s t one nonprofit group raising the standards for those who work in the vehicle service industry. O ther specialties have the ir own organizations th a t can provide con­sum er information, such as the Tire Industry Safety Council in W ashington, D.C. and N ational Automotive R adiator Service Association in E ast Greenville, Pa.

In addition to checking w ith friends and business associates for recommendations, the ASE suggests th a t shopping for a good repair busi­ness include a reference check with local consumer organizations.

The best tim e to find a good mechanic is before you need one, says Wagner. S ta rt to look while the weather is still good and plan on hav­ing w inter prepping done by September or October before serious cold sets in.

“Go in and talk to the service m an­ager,” she suggests. “Talk to the per­son a t the counter. Look around and see w hat vehicles they are working on. If they’re working on a car like yours, you’re probably O.K.”

Also, look a t the condition of the repair shop, she adds. If a waiting room is clean and pleasant instead of

dingy and messy, th a t’s a pretty good indication your car will be treated the same way.

And potential service customers shouldn’t feel shy about getting information in advance, she says. A reputable station should take the time to answ er customer questions.

Customers can help the mechanic, according to the ASE. They should follow the m anufactu rer’s service schedule and keep all repair records. When there’s a problem, it helps to catalog anything unusual such as odors, noises or changes in how a vehicle drives so the mechanic can diagnose the symptoms.

“It’s kind of like shopping for a doc­tor,” says Wagner. “Once you find a good (service center), stick w ith them. They will know your car’s his­tory. You m ay not decide on the cheapest one in town, bu t you want to get a good quality repair.”

You can check the C ar Care Council on the In ternet a t www.car- carecouncil.org For a copy of ASE’s “How to Communicate for B etter Automotive Service” booklet, send a self-addressed, stam ped envelope to: ASE Communication Brochure, Dept CCC-R97, Utica, N.Y. 13505.

(O see it now )

Cops make streets mean in ’50s LABy M ichelle B anksJournal Special Writer

“L.A. Confidential” has been the most talked-about film of 1997. It’s good to know that the film is deserving of all its attention - and more.

Using detailed costumes and set design, a lounge lizard soundtrack and complex char­acters, director Curtis Hanson - adapting Jam es Ellroy’s dense, pulpy novel — tran s­ports us into Los Angeles of the ’50s, where an underbelly of perversion and m urder lurks beneath the sun and beaches and Hollywood glitz. Police commissioners and elected city officials are trying to sell utopia to its citizens, but they pay no heed to the corruption and mindless vio­lence th a t plague its much- touted police force.

“L.A. Confidential” gives us three cops who have one thing in common - being LA police officers. But the similarities

Shorelines of the Great LakesBy F. Erick Carne Thunder Bay Press (Holt, Mich.), $24.95 (softcover), 127 pages

By Earl FaunaJournal Special Writer

W hen popular Plymouth architect Erick Carne

died last year a t age 68, he left a loving family, a huge coterie of friends, the legacy of a life well lived and a bit of unfin­ished business.

The rem aining busi­ness was in the form of a m anuscript th a t Carne had been preparing for publication. That m anuscript, a 127-page softcover book, “Shorelines of the Great Lakes,” became a reality recently and is hitting Detroit-area bookstores.

It is a compilation of almost 80 vibrant water- colors and several pen- and-ink sketches th a t depict a lifetime of camping in and around each of the five Great Lakes. Accompanying the artwork is a text comprised of the folksy wit and wisdom th a t m arked C am e’s exis­tence.

The book had its gene­sis in a sim ilar work on photographs of U.S. shorelines th a t Carne examined in 1994.

“It was one of those inspiration things,” says C am e’s son, Michael.“He said, ‘I want to do that. I’ve been knocking around the G reat Lakes since I was 7 years old.’ Then he ju st kind of went nuts and started painting.

How to order well-behaved childrenIast week, I had dinner at a

restaurant that has one of i the most gallant front desk

wJk management operations in the metropolitan area.

They excelled that night because of the presence of the most annoying, inconsiderate, rude and rowdy type of customer a restaurant could have. They dealt with a problem that has become all too common in metro Detroit restaurants, and they did it spectacularly well.

This type of customer thinks abso­lutely nothing of disturbing entire restaurants, bothering other diners with noise and raucous behavior, trashing tables, chairs and floors and ruining other people’s evenings. These customers have no sense of space and privacy in public places.

I’m not talking about common bar drunks or football rowdies. I’m talk­ing about parents with young, misbe­having children.

The restaurant that gets my plau­dits is the Common Grill in Chelsea, west of Ann Arbor.

Let me tell you the story of that night.

After a long, difficult week of 12- hour days, we decided that we were too tired to cook at home and that we deserved a break. We also decided not to eat in our hometown, Ann Arbor, because we have been plagued too many times by parents bringing their disruptive children to restaurants. We wanted peace and quiet.

So we chose the Common Grill, a 30-minute drive.

After five minutes at the bar, we were taken to a table. Next to us was a couple with a newborn infant. Two elderly women sat with them. Next to them, and not in any way connected, was a round table of nine, three cou­ples with three children about 6 years old or under.

Within five minutes we had to ask

Ch r is Co o kRestaurants

to be moved. The infant started crying - not once, but every two or three minutes. When the wail started, the loving father looked down at his new little sweetie and just smiled at the sound of that lovely music. The moth­er, seemingly wanting to enjoy her rare night out, ignored it.

At the round table, the “mature” table, the three youngsters decided it was fun to stand on their chairs. Then they started a game of child-tele- phone: loud, nonlinguistic screams exchanged as some form of primal call and response. I prefer the jazz version myself.

Meanwhile, as the kids dispatched their food and smeared it on the table and the chair, their mommies and daddies remained blissfully ignorant of the behavior and engaged one another in serious conversation about child-rearing.

We couldn’t believe it. We moved to the opposite end of the restaurant.

But it didn’t end there. About 20 minutes later, the table with the infant could no longer keep the child silent. It wailed and wailed. Did one of the parents get up and take the child outside and walk it around? No.

Finally one of the two women on the front desk went over and offered politely to help. She picked up the baby and walked it around bouncing it for about 15 minutes, stroking its head until it went back to sleep.

Now, folks, that is management above and beyond the call of duty. She saw a bad situation and solved it without offending the parents while appeasing other customers in the restaurant.

Restaurants aren’t going to tell you

horoscopeAries (March 21 - April 20)If you are feeling argumentative, go for a

walk and cool down a bit. You will feel differ­ent after a short time.

Taurus (April 21 - May 20)Stay focused on the task at hand. After you

have accomplished your goals, make time to reward yourself for all the effort.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)It is important to keep a positive attitude,

no m atter what happens. Some quick thinking helps you through a business crisis.

Cancer (June 21 - July 20)Talk frankly with a financial expert. There’s

a good chance you may be overlooking some­thing. Start planning for the future.

Leo (July 21 • Aug. 21)A passionate love affair is on the way or you

may be rekindling the fires with a former love. Don’t get too carried away.

Virgo (Aug. 22 - Sept. 22)It’s time to get healthy. Go through your

pantry and refrigerator and dump all that nasty, toxic junk you’ve been eating.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)Get all your facts straight and then stand

back and look a t things from another perspec­tive. Your life isn’t nearly as bad as you make it out to be.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 • Nov. 22)Be confident and stand your ground for a

cause you believe in. A friend will introduce you to someone new and exciting.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 20)It is important to set ground rules in the

household, especially where children are involved. A domestic project will be therapeu­tic.

Capricorn (Dec. 21 - Jan. 19)Be brief when discussing business plans for

the future. You may want to take another look at your financial records.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 * Feb. 18)Check out some nontraditional medical

therapies to treat a friend or yourself. Hold off on making a major purchase a t this time.

Pisces (Feb. 19 - Match 20)If you’ve been afraid of making a commit­

ment, something will happen to change your mind. Don’t take shortcuts with important financial matters.

this, parents. So I will. If your chil­dren cannot sit quietly and behave for an hour or so, then you have no busi­ness taking them out. They do not belong in a restaurant. Period. There is something called a baby-sitter.

McDonald’s is fine. Burger King is fine. But not the Common Grill, Gratzi, Le Metro, Morels, Stelline, the Rattlesnake Club, Forte or other restaurants that cater to an adult audience looking for a peaceful dining experience.

I once watched two couples at a cor­ner booth in Kerrytown Bistro in Ann Arbor blithely ignore their two chil­dren as they actually got up and walked on the table. The only response was the firm hand of one of the mothers moving a child because it was blocking her view of the man to whom she was speaking. The children then started throwing rolls at each other.

This kind of behavior has become all too common, yet nobody seems to

say anything about it.Well, I have. When I see well-

behaved children in a restaurant, I now go out of my way to compliment the parents and the children directly. But I also tell parents who don’t see what they are inflicting on others that they have no business bringing their kids to a restaurant. Perhaps embar­rassment will make them think twice.

The first time my wife approached a woman on this topic was at Gratzi, also in Ann Arbor. The woman became furious and huffed, “Obviously, you don’t have children.”

Yes, she has, but he flew the coop when he turned 18, and when he was a child he used to be told that he was going somewhere special. We took the time to go over what was expected of him and how he needed to behave. Then he dressed up a little, and we went out.

It was always a thrill for him to be included in this very adult world, and we never had a problem.

end there. Motivated by different objectives, these three cops’ paths cross while investigating a massacre in a neighborhood cafe. As the inves­tigation digs deeper, it becomes clear that the culprits are hardly drug dealers and street punks but, rather, reside closer to home.

Kevin Spacey plays Det. Jack Vincennes, who lives for the spotlight and moonlights as a technical adviser on a popular TV show called “Badge of Honor.” He also earns side money as a mole for tabloid sleaze writer Syd Hudgeons (Danny DeVito), giv­ing him the inside scoop on criminal activities for Hudgeons’ magazine Hush, Hush. Bud White (Russell Crowe) is a hot-tempered brute whose means of justice turns him

into judge, jury and executioner. Ed Exley (Guy Pearce) is the young cop who is so willing and capable of cleaning up the corrupt police force that he risks his career and life to uphold the law.

Spacey, an actor whose face can say more than any three lines of dia­logue, is ever so smooth in a part he may have been born to play. Australian unknowns Crowe and Pearce are electric on the screen; they’ve created dimensional charac­ters to care and root for.

But director/screenwriter Hanson is the real star here, weaving all the characters and subplots into a mes­merizing treat for the senses. With solid support from James Cromwell and Kim Basinger, “L.A. Confiden­tial” is a great ride to take us into the fall season. Rated R.

Shooting gets film off to good start“Gravesend” OBy Matt BlackSpecial to the Journal

Salvatore Stabile is more than a 23-year-old novice filmmaker. The making of his movie, “Gravesend,” and what happened to him after­ward are hot-wired to pop-culture myth.

He shot the film about four guys, three bodies, two fights and one night in Brooklyn with a $5,000 inheritance and electricity obtained by tapping into a New York City power line. The gritty result crack­les with energy and urgency as the guys with one gun and no brains carelessly shoot the brother of one of them in the latter’s basement, then methodically push things from bad to worse as they lurch down one m ean street after another in a bor­rowed car with the corpse stuffed in the trunk as Louis Armstrong sings “W hat a Wonderful World” on the car radio.

With Tony Tucci’s hotheaded Zane, who started all the trouble, making them all nervous, the film’s blackly comic dimension is revealed as they display more talent for body acquisition than body disposal. You know it can’t end well, and it doesn’t - a t least not for most of them. But the film’s edge is convincing, the semi-improvisatory flavor is high- energy and it rightly avoids any hint of arty self-consciousness.

“Gravesend” has ended very well for Stabile. After hauling it around to festivals in film cans stashed in black plastic garbage bags, it attracted the attention of Oliver Stone, who liked its edge and got it a commercial release. Now Stabile has a two-film deal with Dream­works. The dark, jumpy “Gravesend” is ju st the beginning for him. R.

“In & Out” i“In & Out” is full of laughs, but

it’s also full of compromise as a com­edy th a t begins by attacking gay stereotypes and ends up reinforcing them. It’s launched when an Oscar- winning actor (Matt Dillon, in a hilarious send-up of Brad Pitt) tells the world his inspiration was his

gay teacher back in Indiana. Kevin Kline, as the teacher, and Joan Cusack, as the colleague he’s set to m arry th a t weekend, suffer as peo­ple they’ve known all their lives suddenly begin to view with suspi­cion his intelligence, neat dress and ability to use a napkin.

The film is a t its best when it kids the Oscars and the god-like status of celebrities. It’s rather less suc­cessful a t defending sexual differ­ences, although it surprises us by turning into more than a single-joke comedy. It also surprises us with a performance by Tom Selleck as a trouble-making tabloid TV journal­ist who would steal the film if Kline and Cusack weren’t virtuosic.

But it naively underestim ates the reality-based pragmatism of the Midwest, where being gay isn’t the horrifying phenomenon the film seems to think it is. And it needless­ly panders to m ainstream moviego­ers who would have embraced it without its placating. PG-13. - M.B.

“A Thousand Acres” O“A Thousand Acres” is based on

Jane Smiley’s Pulitzer Prize-win­ning novel, which in tu rn is based on Shakespeare’s “King Lear.” In transferring the tale from old England to an Iowa farm, the film means to rehabilitate the reputa­tions of Lear’s daughters, Goneril

and Regan, who are synonymous with heartlessness for throwing their father off the land he gave them. The result is more melodra­matic than tragic. Jacely Moor- house’s film is choppy. While it lacks the stature of “Lear,” it is no less intense. It also gives Jessica Lange and Michelle Pfeiffer the chance to uncork a powerhouse sister act.

Lange’s Goneril (called Ginny) and Pfeiffer’s Regan (named Rose) take turns being friends, romantic rivals and then friends again. W hat unites them is the childhood of abuse they suffered under Jason Robards’ tyrannical Lear (Larry). The older sister, Ginny, is a slow and wistful woman who softens painful memories by denying them. But she’s also a woman of business who won’t tu rn back once she makes her mind up.

Pfeiffer is fierce and uncompro­mising as the angry sister who refuses to forgive. “A Thousand Acres” may miss some of w hat’s in the book, bu t it’s never stingy about emblazoning those big survivors’ memories across the screen.

riences camping in the Great Lakes. Whenever he would see what he perceived as God and nature, he would just stop. He believed that it was almost prayerlike to be someplace beautiful,” Michael Carne says.

He says his father made a specific point to include paintings - almost all of which are landscapes - of all five Great Lakes in the book.

“The words are a folksy ramble with a lit­tle history thrown in - what you might hear on a tour bus,” Carne says.

The book will live on as a testament to the founder and owner of the Plymouth architec­tural firm Carne and Associates. It is a rep­resentation but not an encapsulation of his life, says Came.

“Painting was his avocation, one of many,” he says. “He was always looking for stuff to do to make other people laugh and he just had this absolute insistence on fairness. I think his life was a sense of the whole joy of nature.”

“Shorelines o f the Great Lakes” is available in bookstores or by calling the Plymouth Community Arts Council, 313-416-4278.

Bragg boasts of bold strikers

e’s coming baaaack! Word is tha t our pal, British singer Billy Bragg, has offered to do another benefit for locked-out Detroit news­paper workers this fall. Bragg has been

regaling audiences at shows around the world with the story of the two strikers who chased a scab fan out of his show at the Majestic Theatre last year. At this rate, to repay his kindness, we’re all going to have to become card-carrying socialists. Oh, we are already? Sorry!Yee-haw, Mr. Sting

Sting, who did a version of his hit, “Every Breath You Take,” with rapper Puff Daddy at the recent MTV awards, will go country at the 31st annual Country Music Association Awards Wednesday in Nashville. At the gig, Sting and country crooner Toby Keith will join a band made up of nominees for musician of the year to play “I’m So Happy I Can’t Stop Crying.” The song appears on both Sting’s album “Mercury Falling” and Keith’s “Dream Walkin’.”Artist tees off on chaw

Artist Mark Heckman is giving travelers on U.S.131 in western Michigan a piece of his mind with a bill­board that addresses the dangers of smokeless tobacco. The billboard shows a man loading up from a pouch of Dead Man Chewing Tobacco and carries the headline, “Don’t Be a Dip.” It includes the special offer of “Free Oral Cancer.” Kudos to Heckman! Too many kids (and adults) are chewing up their futures with this danger­ous habit.Chew on this

When longtime restaurant critic Molly Abraham was called back to the Free Press, she was assigned to the 3-11 p.m. shift on the city desk while line-crosser Patty LaNoue Stearns continued to eat out for pay. Recently the Freep decided to add a second restaurant critic and it picked another line-crosser, John Tanasychuk. If a striking/locked-out worker can be fired multiple times from one job, then by the same twisted logic we guess a worker can be replaced multi­ple times. For the record, Abraham has been reviewing restaurants for 30 years; the seventh edition of her restaurant guide was a sellout for the Freep prestrike.Love those guys

OK, sisters (and brothers, too), here’s a good cause.

Astronaut and Eastpointe native Jerry Linenger was back in Michigan recently, first to return lots of Michigan paraphernalia that he took with him to space station Mir, then to speak at the dedication of Beck Centennial Elementary School in Macomb Township.

Is it wise than STREET CRIMESare considered a real threat to society — but not CORPORATE CRIMES?_____________________ACOSS would like to thank Michael Moore and everyone who responded for the premiere show­ing of “The Big One”. A special thank you to everyone that gave an extra hand in making this evening a huge success.________________Have you sent your note of “love and appreciation” for the incredible wis­dom of “Judge” O’Meara. Let him know just what his corporate favoritism, and how his lack of con­science, winking at the unethical, illegal ULP behavior of these giant corporations in ignoring the collec­tive bargaining process and stepping on the rights of workers everywhere, will allow and encourage such behavior to proliferate elsewhere. Dear “Judge”, Most of us have no respect for your title or for your position, and certainly no respect for your decision making capabili­ties. Apparently you don’t repre­sent the interests of those of us suffering at the hands of these criminal corporations at all! Who do you really “work” for?

If this country ever loses its interest in fishing, we’re in big trouble. George Bush said that. That’s just one of the few fun fishing facts found by Biff over the years. Did you know for example, that it is illegal to fish in pajamas on Chicago’s breakwater? Or that it’s against the law to give liquor to fish in Oklahoma? Nor can you carry fishing tackle into a ceme­tery in Muncie, Indiana. And you do not need a license to fish for rats in New York’s Central Park, though its flies-only terrain.

Pistons retain bad bunny MahornHe just keeps going and going and going ...Rick Mahorn compared himself to the Energizer

Bunny as he re-signed with the Pistons for another season. It will be the 17th NBA season for the bad- dest of the 1989 NBA champion Bad Boys.

“(People) are probably asking, ‘Isn’t that pink bun­ny dead yet?’ ” said Mahorn at Wednesday’s news conference. “That pink bunny is still alive in me and Fm having a ball when I get back out there. But I don’t wear pink.”

Surgery to repair ligament damage and insert screws into his right foot on Jan. 2 cut short Mahorn’s return to the Pistons’ last season. Mahorn will make $480,000 this season.

With Mike Vernon gone, Chris Osgood is the main man in the Wings' goal this season.

Ozzie’s shot at No. 1 job finally comesBy Paul H arrisJournal Sports Writer

The carrot is now in front of Chris Osgood. All he has to do is grab it.

With Mike Vernon gone to San Jose, Osgood, 24, has the opportunity to be the team ’s undisputed No. 1 goal- tender. But it won’t be ju st handed to him.

He’ll have to outplay Kevin Hodson, 25, who might play as many games as Osgood this season, according to coach Scotty Bowman. Hodson played in ju st six games last season.

“I have to earn my play. I have to play well,” said Osgood, who is begin­ning his fifth NHL season. “And I have full intention of doing tha t.”

Osgood and Bowman were a t odds for part of last season. It was tough for Osgood, who was the s ta rte r for much of the season, to watch Vernon play in the playoffs. But Osgood’s name will be on the Stanley Cup.

Osgood said he doesn’t expect any­thing to change in the relationship between him and Bowman. By now, he’s accustomed to the aloof, some­times abrasive Hall of Famer.

“I think he wants me to play the best I can and he’ll do anything to (get me to) do it,” said Osgood.

He has proved he can be an out­standing goaltender in the regular season. But the big question: Can he become a goaltender who can back­stop a team deep in the playoffs?

Wings minusHARRIS, From Page 36

ov socialized with on a regular basis away from the arena.

That association with the respect­ed, warrior-like Kostantinov helped Fedorov feel more a part of a team where the players didn’t (and still don’t) understand him. It also elevat­ed Fedorov in the eyes of his other teammates.

Konstantinov (30) served as a buffer between Larionov (36) and Fetisov (39) and Fedorov (27). The two older Russians both finally became fed up with Fedorov because he doesn’t have the same kind of work ethic and desire they do. Older players often complain younger ones don’t work hard enough.

Konstantinov struck a balance between the older Russians and Fedorov. Though much younger than Larionov and Fetisov, he had the same work ethic and warrior m ental­ity. Because he’s closer to Fedorov’s age, he also understood where his younger team m ate was coming from.

W ithout Konstantinov, Fedorov

That question was put to ESPN analyst and former NHL goaltender D arren Pang.

“I th ink we’re overlooking some­thing. Take two years ago against Colorado,” said Pang. “Momentum is a funny thing. Patrick Roy and Colorado overshadowed the fact tha t Osgood played great.

“He’s proven he’s a No. 1 guy. Now he’s got to prove th a t he can beat Patrick Roy in a seven-game series.”

Kozlov signsAfter being close to an agreement on

a couple of occasions, the Wings and Slava K ozlov finally came to terms Thursday on a three-year deal worth

really has no friends in the Wings’ locker room. This wouldn’t m atter if Fedorov had enough self-assurance and m aturity th a t he didn’t care what other people thought. But he does care. Despite the fact tha t he doesn’t work hard on the ice all of the time, he desperately wants the approval of his teammates.

An example came in Game 6 of last season’s Western Conference Finals against Colorado. With Detroit up 1- 0, Fedorov irritated previous damage to his ribs and put his diaphragm into spasms when he went into the boards in an awkward m anner in the second period.

It has been well documented that Steve Yzerman told Fedorov, “We need you back on the ice,” as Fedorov was taken to the locker room by tra iner John Wharton. But it was Konstantinov’s comments between the second and third period which had a t least as much impact on Fedorov as Yzerman’s.

Konstantinov told Fedorov he had to return - not only to help Detroit win the game but also to finally put

$5.6 million.Kozlov, 25, will make $1.6 million

this season, $1.9 million next season and $2.1 million in the third year. He has bonus clauses for 35 goals and team performances.

Last season, Kozlov had 23 goals and 45 points in 75 games during the regular season and eight goals and 13 points in the playoffs.

“First they offer me five-year deal, then two-year deal and we agreed on three-year deal,” said Kozlov, who reported to the team Friday morning and took part in the Friday workout. “It was a tough time for me.”

He also put on 10-15 pounds of mus­cle over the summer.

to rest the idea tha t Russians didn’t have the heart to be big factors on a Stanley-Cup winning team. One of the things Konstantinov said was, “Don’t do anything tha t would embarrass us!”

Fedorov returned for the third peri­od and eventually scored the winning goal, which clinched the series and sent the Wings into the Finals.

The shame of the situation is tha t there’s an easy way for Fedorov to put every other Red Wing on his side. That would be to work and play as hard as he could every time he’s on the ice.

Yes, he has legitimate feelings about missing Konstantinov, which the other players share. But life and the game goes on. Even if he’s traded, Konstantinov still won’t be there.

If he does eventually re-sign with the Wings, maximum effort would put his teammates in Fedorov’s cor­ner. It would also be a fitting way to honor Konstantinov.

But Fedorov might not be m ature enough to realize these things.

That’s a pity.

makes him so rare. And the vision, of course. That’s why he is what he is.”

Tackle Ray Roberts said the offen­sive line took Sanders’ slow s ta rt per­sonally.

“It was like a slap in the face,” said Roberts. “There was no lack of effort the first two weeks, but we dedicated ourselves to coming off the line hard and hitting the right people.

“Our system isn’t hard to pick up, but it is hard to execute well.”

“It’s a good feeling to get the run ­ning game going,” said center Kevin Glover. “We took a lot of heat the first two weeks for that. We did a lot of soul-searching as a unit and a lot of talking among ourselves. We all wanted to do what we had to do to get things together.”

T hat’s something different from the days of Wayne Fontes. Instead of pan­icking because something isn’t work­ing, the Ross philosophy is to stick with the game plan until you get it right.

“When the game plan works and you do w hat you’re supposed to do, it gives you an extra level of confi­dence,” said H erm an Moore, who caught seven passes for 98 yards and a touchdown.

Sanders’ big game benefited Scott Mitchell, who threw for 215 yards and two scores against the Bears. Chicago’s lack of a pass rush also helped Mitchell, bu t it was his best game of the season by far.

“I feel good for our quarterback,” said Glover. “He’s taken a lot of heat over the first two weeks and we felt bad for him. He hung in there and made all the correct decisions.”

“The first two games we didn’t fin­ish our plays and we weren’t sustain­ing our blocks,” Mitchell said. “But we didn’t change the offense and we did­n’t panic. We ju st went back to basics.

“I think everyone dug a little deep­er during the week, pulled together and circled the wagons. It was nice to have a good rhythm and keep it up for the entire game.”

If the Lions win today, and they are a five-point favorite, th a t sets up a showdown with Green Bay, the defending Super Bowl champions, next Sunday a t the Silverdome.

It’s likely the Lions’ victims will have a combined record of 0-12 by th a t time, but the Lions don’t care.

“A lot of people will say, ‘Let’s see w hat they do next week,’ ” Moore said. “It doesn’t end with one good game. This is the kind of offense we need to have every week.”

It was only one victory, over a win- less team, but th a t doesn’t matter. All of a sudden, the team ’s outlook is much brighter than it was coming off the loss to Tampa.

Barry’s back, and life is good.

Nevin, Nieves likely draftees

Journal photo by REBECCA COOK

Detroit likely won’t protect Frank Catalanatto in the expansion draft.

By Joe AdamsJournal Sports Editor

It’s safe to say next year’s Tigers will be dif­ferent from the current edition. The expansion draft will see to that.

The Tigers will lose a couple of players to newcomers Arizona and Tampa Bay in the draft, scheduled for Nov. 18. Detroit didn’t fare badly five years ago, losing pitchers Kevin Ritz and Scott Aldred, both to the Colorado Rockies. The losses might be more severe this time, but tha t’s because the Tigers have more talent in their system than they did five years ago.

“Everything we have done since we came here has been with the expansion draft in mind,” said Tigers General Manager Randy Smith, who was the Rockies’ assistant general m anag­er when the last expansion draft was held. “It will be an interesting time. You can make a lot of deals.”

The Tigers will be allowed to protect 15 play­ers. Any player who has less than three years of pro experience and has not played in the majors is exempt from the draft. That means the Tigers don’t have to protect former No. 1 pick Seth Greisinger. Anyone is exempt who has less than four years of experience (none in the majors) and was signed at age 18. That means prized pitching prospect David Borkowski is safe.

After each round, the Tigers can put three more players on the protected list. They can either lose two or three players in the three- round draft.

The Tigers have a good idea who will be on their list now, but a couple of spots are up for grabs. Here’s one guess on what their list might look like.■ No-brainers: Outfielders Brian H unter and Bobby Higginson; first baseman Tony Clark; second basem an Damion Easley, shortstop Deivi Cruz; third baseman Travis Fryman; pitchers Justin Thompson, Brian Moehler and Todd Jones.

The only way this could change is if Fryman, who will be on the final year of his contract in 1998, is traded before the draft. The chances of tha t aren’t as great as some think.■ Prospects: Outfielder Juan Encarnacion; pitchers Francisco Cordero, M att Drews, Mike

Drum right and Roberto Duran.Encarnacion had a great season a t Double-A

Jacksonville and was impressive with the Tigers before he was lost for the season with a broken bone in his left hand. Cordero began developing into a dom inant reliever a t Class A West Michigan (35 saves, 0.99 ERA). Smith said D uran will be protected, even though he was wild during his stin t w ith the Tigers. Drews and D rum right make th is list based on potential, not performance. Both struggled in the minors.■ Free agents: Pitchers Willie Blair.

If the Tigers sign Blair before the draft, he m ust be protected. His 16-win season might m ean he’ll get offers of $4 million a year, out of the Tigers’ price range.■No factor: Pitchers Glenn Dishman, Eddie Gaillard, Greg Keagle, Kevin Jarvis, Dan Miceli, Mike Myers and A.J. Sager; designated h itter Bob Hamelin; catchers Marcus Jensen and M att Walbeck; second basem an Frank Catalanatto; shortstop Orlando Miller; outfield­er Jim m y Hurst.

None of these players will be protected but, for various reasons, it’s unlikely the Devil Rays or Diamondbacks would want any of them.■ S w eatin g it out: Pitchers Doug Brocail and Scott Sanders; catcher Raul Casanova and out­fielder Kimera Bartee. These four are battling for one spot. The guess is it will go to Sanders. In his last two starts, he has shown why Smith traded for him. Casanova faltered in the second half of the season and some th ink the Tigers should leave all of their catchers unprotected.■ Bait: Outfielders Melvin Nieves and Bubba Trammell; infielder Phil Nevin. Nieves is arbi­tration-eligible and the Tigers are tired of his strikeouts. With Encarnacion on the horizon, there’s no room for Nieves or Trammell in the outfield. Nevin hit poorly when he had his big chance in August and Catalanatto is a viable alternative as a utilityman.■ Prediction: The Tigers get their wish - Nevin and Nieves will be selected. After the first round, Detroit will likely protect Bartee, Brocail and Casanova. Jarvis, Jensen and Double-A pitcher Willis Roberts could be pulled back after the second round. Miceli and Trammell should also receive consideration.

Schumacher leaves Villeneuve behind in Formula One chaseBy Christopher M. SingerJournal S taff Writer

W ith ju st four races left on the Formula One schedule, Jacques Vil- leneuve’s chances of claiming the world driving cham pionship are shrinking to slim and none.

Going into today’s Grand Prix of Austria a t Osterreichring in Spiel- burg, Austria, (7:45 a.m., ESPN2) two- tim e champ Michael Schum acher leads the French Canadian, 67-57.

The technology in Formula One is so advanced and so costly th a t the driver with the best car is usually the driver who wins. Drivers, however good, can’t carry an outclassed car.

According to Schumacher, his own Team Ferrari, along with some other teams, have stepped up and been able to catch up with Villeneuve’s former­ly superior W illiams-Renault team.

If Villeneuve, an Indianapolis 500 winner and PPG Cup champion, can

return to the winning form he had at the beginning of the season - and Schumacher suffers some incredibly bad racing luck - Villeneuve might still be able to win the title.

Breedlove brokeFact of fast life: Speed rises in direct

proportion to the amount of money spent, and when you want to drive a car through the sound barrier, you need money by the 18 wheeler full.

After installing a new J-49 je t engine from an F-4 Phantom fighter je t in his Spirit of America, Craig B reedlove ran out of funds and was stranded in his headquarters in Rio Vista, Calif., near Sacramento. A new je t engine was needed after the old one swallowed a foreign object.

Unable to return to the Black Rock Desert in Gerlach, Nev., north of Reno, Breedlove found help in the form of $50,000 from primary sponsor Shell

Oil and $50,000 from Auto Zone stores, an associate sponsor.

Back a t Black Rock, testing resumed Tuesday a t 343 m.p.h. but had to be canceled Wednesday and Thursday due to high winds.

Breedlove, 60, wants to break the current world land speed record of 633 m.p.h., set in 1983 by Englishman Richard Noble, and then break the sound barrier, estimated to be about 755 miles an hour.

But Noble also has a new record car a t Black Rock, Thrust SSC, and it has two je t engines.

Remember the equation: speed equals money.

Gordon’s lead growsWith seven races to go, Jeff Gor­

don’s victory a t Loudon, N.H., last week in his Chevrolet Monte Carlo increased his Winston Cup points lead over second-place Mark M artin to

139. The battle will resume with the MBNA 400 today on the one-mile oval a t Dover Downs International Speed­way in Dover, Del. (Noon, TNN).

M artin finished 10th in his Ford Thunderbird on the slippery Loudon track.

King’s record in sightGordon and his Rainbow Warriors

have won 10 Winston Cup races so far. If they can claim three more victories, the team will tie a record for most wins in a season during the modern era tha t was set by “The King” him­self, R ichard Petty. (When NASCAR says “modem era,” it m eans since RJR Nabisco came on the scene and the old Grand National division was renamed Winston Cup.)

Fans are booing Gordon now because he wins so often. How will they react if he eclipses a record set by the King?

Surprising Tigers start winning fans backHENNING, From Page 36

long odds with the Red Sox and Yankees on tap this week, Detroit has a shot a t finishing .500 - 81 wins, 81 losses. Remarkable, really.

But look a t how the club changed its character, its ability to perform, its very baseball nature in 1997, and you begin to see the authentic way in which the Tigers won back some of their fans and followers.

Take something as basic as a ground ball.

Those of us who thought the Tigers would extend Trammell-W hitaker withdrawl into the next century got a surprise - a big one. We saw instant­ly tha t Deivi Cruz was a shortstop with great range, hands, and with a bazooka for an arm.

As the season wore on, we saw the bonus - what all along we had want­ed to see from a guy who played last year a t the Single A level of minor league ball. We saw a h itter evolve. A tough hitter who, even with two strikes on him, could rip a fastball, often with m en in scoring position.

We saw a second baseman, Damion Easley, define th a t underappreciated description: good baseball player. Not flashy or spectacular, Easley is sim­ply good, in the best application of the word. He plays second base pro­fessionally. He is a serious h itter with strength and RBI punch. He was as much fun to watch as any person on the team in ‘97.

Bobby H igginson: Admittedly, it took a long time to believe th a t here was an upper-tier big leaguer. There was a perception th a t he got by in the early going more on scrap metal than on any enduring baseball skills.

Now, though, there is respect for his talent, and for w hat he gets out of th a t talent. Watching him tear into a left-handed pitcher is inspiring. Watching him field his position, like

some kind of territorial creature, and throw out a runner a t third, is what in part defined the ‘97 Tigers.

Tony Clark: Detroit is fortunate to have in Clark its baseball version of G rant Hill. He is a budding superstar who will enhance the Detroit sports community. He has a deep intellect. He’s a gentleman. He gives back. He’s a nice antidote to the kind of pro sports star fans complain about.

Brian Hunter: There is minimum regard, in the book, for his hitting skills. He steps away from the pitch - a serious flaw. But there’s apprecia­tion for the way he played center field, and for the rate a t which he stole bases, a fantastic offensive weapon for Detroit.

Juan E ncam acion: A shame he broke his hand a few days into his September call-up. Here is the thor­oughbred, the outfielder with All-Star skills, th a t Detroit m ust have to make itself a contender in the coming seasons. This kid, very possibly, will become a franchise-level player.

W illie Blair: A testam ent to the front office tha t Detroit has with Randy Smith, the team ’s general manager, who has put together a team th a t looks as if it’s only a couple of seasons from getting into a wild­card playoff race - or better.

Ju stin Thompson: Not smart, betting against this kid some day winning a Cy Young Award.

Todd Jones: A late-inning game could actually be turned over to a pitcher minus expectations that things would soon blow sky high.

Buddy Bell: Some of us forecast tha t Detroit would miss Sparky Anderson. That the next manager would run into troubles, incidents, internal strife.

The team became a mirror image of its manager: solid, low-key, appealing.

It’s going to be a long offseason.

Satisfying season ends too soon for surprising Tigers

Baseball season - a t least in Detroit - comes to an end next weekend and, for a change, nobody’s celebrating.

In fact, it seems strange, and a tad ado­lescent, this feeling that the Tigers will be missed for the next six months. But that’s what happens when a team grabs a hard­core baseball community and won’t let go.

The 1997 club had a kind of irresistible nature to it that only now is coming into focus.

Going it all aloneSergei misseshis buddy a

Sergei Fedorov’s reluctance to return to the Red Wings is more involved than just his unhappi­ness over the way he was used by Scotty Bowman last season.

Barry’s back in top form, and so is Lions’ offense

Now what was that about a Barry Sanders slump?

Sanders proved there’s as much life in his legs as

ever last Sunday, and the Chicago Bears paid the price. Sanders ran for 161 yards in 19 carries and the Lions put it to the pitiful Bears, 32-7. Sanders’ reawakening gives the equally pitiful New Orleans Saints something to think about for their game with the Lions today at the Superdome (1 p.m., Channel 2;

WXYT, 1270 AM).“Our guys really controlled the line

of scrimmage,” said Sanders, refer­ring to the Lions’ offensive line. “We

knew we hadn’t played as well as we can, and it wasn’t just in the statis­tics. There was not a lot of fire and passion in the first two games. But I felt we gave our all (against the Bears).”

Sanders ran for 25 yards in his first two carries against the Bears, more than he gained in the entire game in the previous week’s 24-17 loss to Tampa Bay. He had 102 yards by halftime.

He only needs 61 today to hit the

12,000 mark for his career, and he is closing in on Franco Harris (12,120) for fifth place on the NFL’s all-time rushing list.

“Boy, it’s nice to have him on your side when he’s hot like that,” said Lions coach Bobby Ross, who saw Sanders at his best for the first time. “I didn’t realize he was as fast as he is.

“His acceleration is very special once he hits the hole. That’s what

The Tigers became impossible not to fol­low - closely - as the second half of the year wore on. They played well, they won surprisingly often and, because they had this certain spirit to match their rising skills, they got back into the town’s blood­stream.

Important habits changed along the way. WJR broadcasts took on a certain crackle. The PASS and Channel 50 tele­casts were absorbing. The trips to Tiger Stadium increased.

A look at the numbers would explain some of it, sure. The Tigers have been baseball’s biggest comeback story in 1997 - its most improved team. They finished 53-109 a year ago, as dead as it gets for a major league team. Now, although it’s

According to team sources, Fedorov, a restricted free agent, is feeling uneasy about the prospect of being on a Wings team which doesn’t include Vladmir Konstantinov. Not only had the pair been teammates, with the Central Red Army team and Red Wings, for 10 of the past 11 seasons, but Konstantinov was also an important conduit between Fedorov and the other Russian players, and between Fedorov and the other Wings.

Though Konstantinov regularly joined Igor Larionov and Slava Fetisov in verbal­ly dressing down Fedorov when they felt he didn’t work hard enough at key times (during the 1996 Stanley Cup Playoffs, for example), Konstantinov was still always respectful and accepting of Fedorov. He was also the only teammate who Fedor-
