orphanage has seven lawyers vôrking on the case according to OMeara

71ie last four weeks has put us

into a tailspin Anything we thought we knew about il and any preconceived ideas you have go right out OMeara said Absolutely nothing is sure right now

Casa Quivira is in Antigua a city in the Central American country of Gualen)ila it has been open since i996

Wilh internationai poiitics theres no simple answer Theres no official charges against the oriihanagc but some of the accushy

sations are ludicrous OMeara said

She said the concern her and most of the other soon-to-be adoptive parents iiavo is wilii the health and weil-tieing of iheir children in a counUy struggling to get by

Its such an incredibly poor country If theyre lucky (lan and Oabc) get into an overcrowded orphanage run by a US ciiaiity OMeara said Eighty percent of the population lives in extreme

poverty Theyre indigenous -Mayan - and make just a couple dollars a day In the city or out in the country its profound They live in tin shack homes built on the side of volcanos and have earthquakes and mudslides

With 42 children still unacshycounted for OMeara is ready to pack her bags at the first notice of being able to see and potentially bring htime her new children She would have to stay in Guatemala for four to six weeks to fight for

custody of the children however We wail Thais really all

were doing is waiting Its frusshytrating to have the safety of the children in the middle of a squabshyble for money she said

Starting a family Former residents of Hillsdale

Kathy attended Grand Valley Stale University and Brien attendshyed the University of Michigan After graduating and getting marshyried Brien worked as a certified public accountant and Kathy as an athletic trainer at Woodhaven High School lintil they decided to move to North Carolina for four years Their first child Abby was bom six months before moving to Germany for two years where their son Josh was bom

Now back in Novi they decidshyed about a year and a half ago that they wanted to look into adopfion Neighbors referred them to check out Casa Quivira in Guatemala

It was obvious after talking with people there that their focus was on the children and not willi us not with communicating wiUi parents but with kids They give the best care in Guatemala They can handle a baby that other places cant Kathy OMeara said

They were also impressed with the amount of bilinguil people in Europe specifically the waiters at restaurants that were required to know al least three languages hence a reason for looking at chilshydren from other countries

We had a gut feeling (about Guatemala) OMeara said We wanted oui- current children to be bilingual Our kids are learning Spanish Its important that we provide (lan and Gabe) as much of a link to their original country as possible

With the help of paramedic Franllt Gilbert and EMT Julie Curry Novl Hlgh student Sara Sheeran trles her hand at Intubating - or starting an artificial airway - on a practice dumiriy Gilbert and Curry were visiting Novi High to show some science students what skills are needed for their profession


Siudents at Novi Higii Sciiooi received a llands-on lesson last Thursday as emergency medical technicians visited their class

Emergency medical responshydents Julie Curry and Franic Gilbert visited B i l l Dunbars medshyical careers cxplonition cliiss to tell the 26 students about their career with Concord EMS and show the students how some on-the-scene procedures are run out of an ambulance

bull I get a kiciv out of seeing the excitement on students faces and letting people know what we do and how we do it People dont know what EMS is and how we operate Cuny said

Cuny a manager and basic licensed respondent for the htst 17 years since graduating from Central Michigan University and Gil lwil a field training otTicer and paramedic-licensed respondent for nearly nine years since graduating from Henry Ford Conimuiiily College had plenty of experience lo fish from

1 could kill you and bring you back all at the same time Gilbert joked The more tliey know ihe more we can find out when we get a call

Concord EMS covers western Wayne County downriver and Oaiiiand County

The duo told stories ranging from assisting in the delivery of a child which Curry has done three limes to saving the life of a man who lost the lower half of his face due to a shotgun wound

I think paramedics do a huge part fn saving lives and are not really known about said senior Sara Sheeran 17 Most people dont really get the chance to see things like this

Cuny and Gilberi demonstraled ihe new $25((X) critical care monshyitor which monitors a patients heari rate blood pressure and more

They also showed the students how to deal with a patient with diin aiteries who is rapidly losing

blood Respondents have a small tool that drills an IV receptor into the patients bone below their knee cap of for adults only into the sternum

Sheeran helped the duo demonshystrate how to intubate a patient Respondents have 30 seconds or less to prop i paticnls mouth open wifiioui touching their teeth and guide a breatlling tube down the paticnfs throat so ihey can breathe

Its cool to be actually hands on with the equipment Sheeran said Every biology class Ive taken has been real interesting Jd like to go into a similar field like a physicians assistant or maybe this

Senior Amanda Harden 17 was interested because E M S tahni-cians aie not as dominant in medshyical discussions or entertainment such as television shows E R and Greys Anatomy

It was inieresiing to see what the training is Uke It was signifishycant to see some of the less heard of medical careers she said

Harden signed up for Dunbairs medical careers exploration class because of her interest in nuUitiOn l l i e course connections will allow her to work with a nutritionist at Providence Hospital this semester in addifion to ihe usual class work

The entire class wil l be learning about the various areas of medical health care throughout ttie semesshyter taking weekly trips to Providence Hospital

The kids are to travel to Providence in groups of six to seven (to get a hands-on tour of the different departments each week) Theyll even be putting casis on each other one week said Dunbar who chairs the Science Department and coordishynates the Providence partnership I could tell them all this in class but its more effective for them to see people doing it in ihe real world

PROPOSED

CITY LOGO

A h e r reading the iccciit artishycles on the Proposed City Logo 1 am wondering if the Novi City Council and Nuvi city sUilT live in the same stite of Michigan that I do

With Ihe newspapers and other media full of stories abiuit the Slates ineca-iiiil-

lions in budget deficil numershyous Home niorlgage forecloshysures companies down-sizing and the continuing loss of local jobs in ihe aulomolive big three why are all of these thousands of dollars being spent to change the City Logo

Has anyone in Ihe city gone and submitted i complete cost analysis on what 11 wi l l cosl the laxpaycfs lo htive a l l of the stationary business forms

business cards signage etc changed out for this new scheme Just changing the signage on the police departshyment l i re departnienl and other city veliicles wi l l be lime-consuming andyery cosishyly-

You know if Ihe Novi City Council and Novi city staff have so much lime and money ivailable liiey should just sit down and consider ways of

reducing taxes by reducing such frivolous and expensive make-work projects such as Ihe Proposed City Logo and perhaps reducing staff who have nothing heller to do than waste taxpayer dollars on ridiculous projects and schemes

Freedom Throughout uurld history people have fiiupht and died lor Ihe choice to live free

A movement lo bring the basic concepts of choice freeshydom and autliorily lo people wilh disabilities called Self-determination is Hiking hold in Michigan

Tom Nemey the founder and dxecutive director of Ihe (enler Ior Self-Deleriiiinalion (wvvwself-dclennitialioncoiii) believes everyone deserves to exercise freedoms guaranleed lo citizens by Ihe Conslituliun and Ihe B i l l of Rights and basic human dignity Nerney proshyclaims that Self-Deieirninalion is at its heart iboul the iestortlion of full citishyzenship 10 all individuals wilh disabilities

Ieople with disabilities are still in a struggle for their basic freedoms Over the years often with their supposed best intershyests at heart family members governments and caregivers iiave stripped people wilh disshyabilities of their freedom and often their dignity

1 recall visiting the famous psychiatrist Karl Menningers Mental Health Museum in Topeka Kan in Ihe late 1970s and seeing ice tanks where people with mental illness were dunked lo shock them along with electric shock treatment and odIcr inhumanilics all instishytuted in the name of helping What struck me was the facl Uiat these devices were not meant to be cIuei but rather represented the enlightened diought process at the time to help

W h o Benef i t s F r o m Our Sys t ems Of C a r e

State institutions for people vvith mental illness and developshymental disabilities were often built to be out of sight out of

mind as places of lelugc for the patient and families alike

Michigans history of meeting the needs of persons with menshyial illness is not a pretty picture Ill recent liislory we have led the nation in moving persons with developmental disabilities out of large bairen stale institutions into heller community sellings However too many people wilh developnientil disabilities and mental illness across the nation and the globe have often been given life sentences of confineshyment and of nol making their own decisions about the direc-lioii of their lives

Adult foster care and group homes evolved as the next genshyeration of better care for those afflicted However did anyshyone bother to stop and ask the person wilh a disability i f this is how they chose lo live their life Consider for a moment what your life would have been like if you never left the dorm room where someone decided what you would eat the hours you could eat who you could visit and with whom you were forced to live Sound horrible That is the existence for far too many people trapped for life in group homes that often exist to meet the needs of the system - not the people with disabilities

Are systems of care set to benefit people with disabilities or the institutional self-interest of the professionals within the system This question is not meant to disparage providers or caregivers who work long hours for low wages to assist persons with disabilities but to get us to think about why the systems exist

Community Living Services (wwwcomlivservcom) is a misshysion-driven support organizashytion serving nearly 3000 people with disabilities in coiIIInunity settings ttiroughout Wayne and

Abolit Tom Watkins Tom Watkins is a business and educashy

tion consultant HeseiVed as state supershyintendent of schools from 2001-2005 Read his internationally recognized report The New Education (R)evolution at wwwnacolorg He can be reached at ttlwatkinsaolcom

Oakland Counties Andre Robinson a community develshyopment assistant at Community Living Services slates Self-Dcterniination for people like me with dLsabilities is about freedom - pure and simple Freedom to decide how to live your life Andre who has cereshybral palsy and uses a wheel chair continued Yeah 1 need support with some aspects of my daily life dont you We need to stop funding the sysshytem and so called professionals and start funding people widi disabilities - io nieei their needs

A T A B

A friend with a disability once called me a TAB What is a T A B 1 asked Temporarily Able Bodied he replied He asked me - i f 1 became disshyabled would 1 want to be placed in a group home with no input into what my life would be like from that moment on Wen neither d o l l

The purpose of Self-Determination is to make it posshysible for individuals to craft pershysonally meaningful lives in the communities they choose echoes Jim Dehem the C E O of Community Living Services

This isnt about a cIy for more public money for people with dijabiUties asserts Tom Nemey In fact i f anything

people are given authority to control what supports they want and need in their lives - and our research shows that many want less iniervention not more in their lives

Imagine grealer freedom and better support for tlie same or fewer taxpayer resources Now that is a public policy that should be supported by the political left and right The facf that it is not shows how powershyful the professional interests are in running the system and mainshytaining the status quo that keeps people with disabilities trapped often in child-like conditions for their entire lives For eons freedom-seeking people all over the world have been longshying and fighting to wrest power and control from those who have it

The freedom struggle continshyues bull

The Center for Self Determination is presenting the International Conference on Self-determination May 27-29 2008 at the Detroit Marriott (Renaissance Center) in Detroit Michigan Tlie meetings will feashyture leaders from across disabilshyity and aging service organizashytions and relate the efforts being made across the world to make freedom a reality for individuals with disabilities You can find more information and register at wwwself-determinationcom

P H I L P O W E R

L e a d e r s f i d d l i n g a w a y w h i l e s ta te s l o w l y b u m s That sound you heard last

week was the thin scratchy tune of our elected leaders fiddling away while our state s lowly b u r n s That s not m u c h of an exaggeration It was marked by the abysmal failure of our elected leaders to s imply do their jobs

What we needed from thein was agreement on a p l an to wipe out a projected $175 bi l l ion deficit i n Michigan s budget for the next fiscal year w h i c h starts Oct 1 Instead what we got was jus t the unpleasant background noise of everybody b laming everybody else

Thats why tlie forthcoming pub l i c engagement camshypaign Michigan s Def ining Moment is so important Its a bottom-up effort to find Common ground on a set of y e i y far-reaching reforms that can get our state through the worst financial c r i s i s s ince the Great Depress ion and lay the gtoundwork for oi ir future bullpi-osperity

A n d its a way for ordinary citfzeils to get Involved rather t l ian leawng it to polit icians Some of tlie politicians sad as it may seem are more interested i n their own careers than In our states future

Accordingly mdash beginning i n October more than 100 conimuni ty conversat ions wi l l take place al l a round Michigan mdash citizens gathershying in smal l groups to form a v is ion of what k i n d of Michigan they want and conshysider how best to get there Topping the agenda The goal of transforming Michigan by bui ld ing a talented globally competitive work force For if we dont have that we have no hope

Whether its the good news of Google opening an office i n Ann Arbor to tap into tiie bright kids graduating from the University of Michigan or Volkswagen moving its headshyquarters from A u b u r n Hil ls to Virginia IIi search of talshyented employees the messhysage is the same

If you want a prosperous economy youve got to drasshytically improve the sk i l l s of your work force

SlInple enough mdash but our polit ical masters in I ^ n s i n g haven t been much help Year after year tfieyve dis in-vested In the ins t i tu t ions that bu i ld huIiian capital in

About Phil Power Phil Power is a longtime observer of politics economics and education issues

In Michigan and-was a regent of the University of Michigan from 1987 to 1999 He is also president and founder of The Center for Michigan a moderate think- and-do tank These opinions and others expressed in his columns are his own and do not in any way represent official policy positions of The Center for Michigan Phil would be pleased to hear from readers at ppowerhcnnetcom

M i c h i g a n mdash our schools and our colleges and universities Tha t s proven by a new report out last week from the highly regarded nonpartisan Ci t izens Research Counci l

Tha t s tudy reveals over the las t seven years the growth in appropriations to the state School Aid Fund has averaged a meager 14 percent far less tlian the rate of inflation State spendshying on higher education has been even worse It has decl ined by $275 mill ion -13 percent -mdash over the past four years wit l lout taking inflation Into consideration

We c a n measure the results and they are scary

Ti le M i c h i g a n League for H u m a n Services reports that only 261 percent of M i c h i g a n adults 25 or older have a college degree That means we are worse t l ian al l bu t 14 states

Drop the standard to those who have j u s t a two-year associates degree and st i l l on ly 36 4 percent qualify m a k i n g Mich igan a scarcely better 3 l s t i n the nation

Worse Michigan s educashyt ional pipeline from school to college leaks like a sieve A c c o r d i n g to the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Educat ion the vast majority of Michigan ninth graders fail to graduate and go on to earn a postsec-ondary degree

1 could go on and on with s i m i l a r s tat is t ics but wi l l mercifully stop here B u t the c o n c h i s l o n i s a larmii igly clear We must drastically improve the rate at which our s tudents are learning and complet ing school That i s the only hope for Jump-start ing our economy

Fortunately there are a number of good ideas about how to reinedy the situation One of the best is Ihe Kalamazoo Promise financed b y generous anonymous local donors that guarantees college tui t ion to graduates from the Kalamazoo public schools

A l though i t s early the results so far are mighty encouraging Gradua t ion rates arc way up So are colshylege enro l lments Fami l ies are i i ioving into Uie district because of t l ie program and other c o m m u n i t i e s are exploiing whether sonieUiing similar might work for them One variant the so-called Michigan Promise which provides h igh school gradushyates who enro l l i n college and keep tiieir grades up a grant total ing $ 4 0 0 0 Th i s Is enough to pay for an associshyates degree at a Michigan community college Students can register through their school distr ict or through the Michigan Works Web site

Then there is the No Worker U f t Beh ind program it pays for up to two years of tuition at any Michigan comshymunity college or Job training program A i m e d at older workers who are laid off and need their sk i l l s updated the program is meant to include 100000 people over Uie Iicxt four years Inforii iaUon is available at the Department of Labor a n d Economic Growth web site

Another Important develshyopment T h e rise of regional ski l ls a l l iances an economshyic development tool that bundles together local firms wi th s imi la r s l t i l ls needs for their labor forces The Flint Heal th C a r e Collaborat ive for example br ings together around 20 l l ea l th care firms who then Identify emerging technologies i n the field and arrange t r a i n i n g for local workers There are now more than 30 reg iona l s k i l l s a l l iances i n M i c h i g a n involving about 500 compashynies

Ufhats most important is getting educa t i on beyond high school A n d one of our states biggest problems Is the long-held asisumption that you really dont need to go beyond h igh school to score a good job at the local auto assembly line Nothing could be further from the

t ru th The auto companies i n fac l are laying off or outshysourc ing brawn-based jobs those that are h i r i ng are p ick ing workers wItli post-secondaiy degrees A n d the universities are helping out by l ink ing together commushyn i t y college courses wi th their own prograins

K ids at Alpena Comniuni ty College for example can transfer soine credits to the U - M i n A n n Arbor k ids at Oak land Coinmuni ty College c a n do the same witfi Wayne State

B u t expected changes i n our population- of our state are coming Sadly people discouraged about the future are moviIig out Accord ing the recent Cit izens ReseaIch C o u i i c i l report by 2017 M i c h i g a n w i l l lose a net 41 000 people

The slice of the population likely to go to college (age 18-24) will decline by 84000 (thats 9 percent) whi le the labor force of people 16-64 wil l shrink by 262000 or 4 percent

The simple fact is to keep our economy humming we need more people mdash espeshycial ly ski l led people mdash in Michigan We have internashytional offices in C h i n a J a p a n and Europe t rying to attract companies Why couldn t we have Welcome to Michigan desks at these offices urging the skilled and ambit ious to move here

The fact remains as 1 write these words a fundamental common ground reform idea for M i c h i g a n mdash that our future depends on finding a t t rac t ing n u r t u r i n g and growing talented people in our work force mdash is being he ld hostage to a budget deal In Lansing

Nevertheless these ideas w i l l be an Important part of the M i c h i g a n s Def in ing Moment conversations that start next mont l i

Afnerican Dance Academy dance students are treated to a special Disney Worttshop at Disney World in Orlando Florida

D a n c e h e l p s s t u d e n t s l e a r n w h i l e h a v i n g f u n

By Joiin Mali SPECIAL WRITER

bullôr liie lasi 10 years tlie young peopie of South Lyon have iumed io

ihe American Daiice Academy fqr dance instruction personal growth and goal achievemenis In return the school has devoted itself io giving each student a positive learning experience that Ihey can use for any endeavor in their lives

Learning the various disciplines of dance are imporiani and the American Dance Academy offers a complete schedule of classes for boys and girls from age 3 through adull in both pershyforming arts and recreational venues

But just as important are the lessons thai each student learns about their own personal growth and development Many former students have gone on to successshyful careers in professions including medshyicine and business

Dance is very good as long as it is put into perspective said owner Melva Zavisa What matters is helping chiishydren work up to their potential and improve while having fun

There are many ways that American Dance Academy students have fun Of the approximately 280 students enrolled in the classes 40 students are part of the performing arts team which dances competitively iiround the couniry mdash and sometimes around the world

We performed in the International Youth Festival in Russia in 1985 Melva said It was quite a learning experience Oiir kids came back with a new apprecishyation for the freedoms we enjoy in the United States

The key word is learning The staff of instructors are certified Dance Master and Cecchetti teachers and must attend continuing education programs Not only is it important for students to conshytinue learning and growing Melva insists that her instructors do the same

Some of the programs taught at the

PlionB (248)486-9664

Address 22886 Pontiac Trail

South Lyon Ml (in King Plaza)

Website wwwtheamericandanceacademycom

American Dance Academy include Tiny Tots Pre-Dance and KinderDance for 3-5 year olds ballet and Pointe Russian and Cecchetti jazz and musical theatre tap hip hop and aero just to name a few

In addition to dance classes the school also offers theatrical training including acting and singing

Theatre and dance go together said Melva This type of training rounds out the student

And speaking of rounding out stushydents the American Dance Academy also believcsin helping young people achieve their goals who wouid nol norshymally be able to financially afford a dance educaiion Melva and her staff works with local Youth Enrichment and Youth Assistance programs

When wc have extra spaces in our classes we Invite needy children to parshyticipate she added

Melva also gives special discounts to children of parents currently serving in active duty for the armed forces

The care for the commiInity stretches beyond helping young pe-jple in need mdash it also extends to the community itself and Ihe people who support the school

This holiday season in early December the American Dance Academy wi l l sponsor a special holiday performance to benefit the Active Faith

The young students of the American Dance Academy combine an educational experience with a iot of fun during their classes-

charity and to celebrate ADA s lOth year in South Lyon Melva is inviting all children and adults to come out and pershyform in the show free of charge

Anyone can sign up io be in ihe proshygram she said We will suppiy ihe choreograplty and the costumes The practices will take place at ihe academy in 5-6 lessons with a few practices on weekends

This wil l be an opportunity for kids who wouldnt normally have the chance to get up on stage and perform

During the show Melva hopes that people w i l l bring in toys that ihey wish to donate to the Toys for Tots program

A l l of these community projects are part of the American Dance Academys

overall philosophy of making dance a posshyitive Iciu-ning experience which emphashysizes skill teamwork and dedication

Every experience is an educaiion which IWelva believes is a key to success

Education is just as important as dance she added

She rewards her graduating seniors with college scholarships which are derived from the many fund-raisers that the school puts on

She aiso noted Dance enhances abilshyities of children in many ways throughshyout their lives

Novi wi l l look lo continue the momentum the offense provided last week against 3-0 Howell The game will be played at Parker High School 7 pm Friday

The Wildcats (2-1 1-1) had some offensive struggles in the first two weeks but they saw everything go right in the first half against Pinckney The Wildcats had 34 points on the hoard by lialftime just shy of the 38 points scored in the first two games comshybined

Offensively hopefully its going to continue to grow Novi head coach Tab Kcllepourey said If we continue lo put points up like that its going lo be a fun seashyson obviously

l l i c Highlanders (3-0 2-0) use a run-first offense While Novi will go lo Ihe air at anytime Kcllepourey said the Highlanders have thrown about 20 limes all year

Sometimes we throw the ball 20 times in one half he said bullIhejll line up with two tight ends and come downhill

When Ihey do throw the hall theyre vergt effeclive

The key lo stopping the Highlanders is busting up Ihe blocking and getting penetration in ihe backfield

The two teams share a common opponent in Milford Novi lost 29-21 with a late comeback thai fell short Howell lopped the Mavericks 24-21 last week

Novi Bobcats JV Football played the second game of the regular season last Sunday in front of a sizable crowd at Novi High School under warm sunny conditions

The Bobcats were seeking a victory against the Livonia Blue Jays lo even their record after the lough double-overtime loss in the season opener two weeks earlier

The Bobcats did just that winshyning 8-0 to pull even at 1-1

The J V Bobcats started on defense and after giving up 30 yards lo Livonia Novi took over on downs thanks lo some strong defensive line work Novi quickly marched down the field with a creative in-your-face running attack The drive included several good plays highlighted by a Keith Pravato (2 carries 18 yards) scramble upfield for 14 yards A clipping penalty ended the drive just when i l looked like Novi would score The Blue Jays offense had momentum on their second series however the Bobcats Tommy McMaster made two decisive tackles on third and fourth down to end another danshygerous Livonia drive At the end of the first quarter there was no score

Novis offense staIted their secshyond drive on their own 45 The offensive line opened up the Bobcats running game Phil Ritchie hit a hole on the right side opened up by guard Graham Gaudsen and tight end Charlie Ryan ( l reception 15 yards) made a move and raced 45 yards into the end zone for a T D Ritchie (10 carries 100 yards) quickly caught his breath then kicked the 2-point coiiversion The defense held and the Bobcats took an 8-0 lead mto the second half

scrimmage throughout the second half The defensive leaders were Kyle Malel (9 tackles) Michael Ninkovich Alex Caprara Brett Giiiboux Nick Meadors Milch Pinkerlon and Austin Racicot Each of these players made four or more tackles in ihe game Jaylen Ward reluming the ball on special teams gave Novi good field position Quarterback Bi l ly Ulle ran the Bobcats improved offense throughout the game with Jack Pinkerton (six carries 24 yards) leading the running attack in the second half

The game seemingly in hand got interesting in the final quarter Livonias persistent attack had them threatening to score with three minutes lo go but the Bobcats defense kept hitting hard and Malel buried the Blue Jays on fourth down The Bobcats offense taking over on their own 15 yard line controlled the ball and the clock to end the game

The J V Bobcats next game is at Bentley field in Livonia against the Orioles Saturday Sept 15 l pm Tailgaung gets underway at l 130 am

Novl freshman Bobcats thump Blue Jays

The Freshmen Bobcats played

another impressive game on bodi sides of the ball Sunday against the Livonia Blue Jays winning 38-6

The Bobcats explosive big play offense shredded ihe Livonia defense Tlie offensive line of Alex Tarrant Joshua Ruffing Ryan Watha Ryan Rabinowilz Andrew Hixson Paul OConnor and Colton Neisius were blowing the defense off the ball allowing the running backs lo gain 227 yards of total offense On the Bobcats second possession of the game Andy Mizerowski beat tlie defense to the corner for a 7-yard touchdown On the next possesshysion Andrew Schroeder broke through the first line of defenders and into the open field for a 44-yard touchdown The third Bobcats touchdown of the half was run by Christian Durham on a 45-yard sweep The first half ended with the Bobcats up 19-0

The second half slatted wilh the Bobcats 8-year-old defenders taking the field Mitchell McSweeney and Philip Calhoun combined on the first tackle causing a fumble which McSweeney recovered On the third play from scrimmage Connor Moore turned the comer and broke several tackles on his way to a 30-yard run Later in the game Moore added 20 more yards to his stats and scored the final touchdown of the game Schroeder led all rashers with six carries for 61 yards and a touchshydown followed by Moore wilh two carries for 50 yards and a touchdown and Christian with a 45-yard touchdown run The Bobcats ran 36 offensive plays gained 227 yards and 14 different players had an opportunity to run the football

The Bobcats defense was extremely tough again holding the Blue lays to 40 total yards of

offense no first downs and allowshying only one touchdown late in the 4lh quarter on a fourth and long quarterback keep Ryan iVloore delivered a bone crushing tackle on the Blue Jays first offensive play of the game sendshying a strong message thai the Bobcats know how to hit His teammates took notice too knowshying they had lo slick someone haider i f they wanted to prevent Moore from receiving his second Slick of the Game Award Mitchell Lang and Paul OConnor are both in contention for the award this week after crushing the Blue Jays running backs After holding Ihc Blue Jays 10 4 and oul on their first seven possessions Andrew Schroeder picked up a fumble and relumed the ball 18 yaids for a touchdown giving the Bobcats a 26-0 lead

The Blue Jays recovered an onside kick after their first and only touchdown apparently changing the momentum of the game O n the Blue Jays first play from scrimmage Bobby Fox jumped the pass route interceptshyed the pass and relumed the ball 60 yards for a touchdown killing al l hope for a comeback This was Foxs second interception of the season Schroeder and Lang led all defenders with 6 tackles each Anthony DAnnibale had four solo tackles Colton Neisius liad 5 total tackles and Tarrant had four What is most impresshysive about the Bobcats performshyance is eight starting players had to be pulled in the second quarter because o f the 19-point lead The rest of the team proved they could not only compete but dominate against the Blue Jays first team players

The Bobcats wil l go on the road Saturday to play the Livonia Orioles

odors mdash and brothers mdash Howard and Todd Adelson have foriIied a unique partnership thai

not only has slrengtliened an already experienced and qualified practice Adelson Eye and Laser Center in Northville bui also has given it a special feature thai few if any similar practices in Michigan have

Both of ihe doctors have completed their fellowship iraining in advanced refractive (LASIK) and cataract surgefy through Michigan Slate Universiiy According io Howard it is rare for one doctor in a practice io have the fellowshyship training il is very rare for two docshytors in the same practice lo have thai same iraining mdash and their patienis are the benefactors

1 dont know of any other office that docs this he said It means that if one of us cannot sec a patient for any reason the other is qualified lo diagnose and treat the patient in the same manner

With so many advances in laser-eye-care technology the doctors felt it was important io have all of the up-to-date training and equipment io hindle a growing demand for laser correction surshygery which Howard said is the number one type of surgery in the United States

Some of the other new technology that can be found at Adelson Eye and Laser Center in downtown Northville includes iris registration software mdash a touch-free method of measuring and marking the eye One set of measurements is taken with the patient seated and another set taken with the patient lying down tiie technology finds and unwraps the iris selects prominent and matching refershyence points for each iris calculates the treatment surface angles from multiple matching reference points and automatshyically checks the solution quality

Another technology is the Ex-Press Mini Glaucoma Shunt which provides a simplified method of filtration surgery for patients wilh open angle glaucoma It is ideally performed after cataract surshygery or simultaneously with any type of cataract extraction The procedure involves no tissue removal with minimal infiammation and low complication

Other technologies include laser treatshyment for patients with diabetes Of course Adelson Eye and Laser CeIIter are full-service eye care specialists the practice also works with local opiomelrists to offer the best treatment for all patients

Howard and todd are currently accepting new patients in both their Northville office and their newest locashytion in Warren - supporting a growing base of satisfied patients in metro Detroit

More and more people are turning to LASIK because the pricing has come down said Howard We offer financshying with zero do^n for people with a good credit history

Patients have had many good things to say about their experience with Adelson Eye and Laser Center including Jessica Singer who wrote at their Web site I received Custom LASIK eye surgery in May of 2004 performed by Dr Adelson I was more than satisfied I have made several calls to various centers and DL Adelsons clinic was the only one that took the time to answer all of my ques-

Todd Adelson above and his brother Howard Adelson at rlght^care tor patients Jn their cioiwntown Northville office Howard has spent many years practicing the most up-to-date methods of laser eye correction Todd joined Adelson Eye and Laser Center In mid-2006 and has added a great deal of expertshyise to the practice Both doctors have completed fellowship trainshying In advanced refractive and cataract surgery through MSU

Novi Community Schools has translated many of its elemenshytary school handbooks into Japanese

The translations which are available for download on ihe district Web site htipwwwnovikI2mius were made by Novi parent Emiko Nakashima The Web site offers handbooks for Novi Meadows Orchard Hills Parkview and Village Oaks as well ^ kindershygarten information for Parkview and Village Oaks and Oakland Countys Health Communicable Disease Chart

Our intention is to put the middle school and high school handbooks on there too said

Superintendent Peier Dion He said a Japanese translation

of A Commitment to Excellence the cufrent message from the superintendent is also pending tiansladon

Dion said the reason for the translations is so Japanese-speaking families new to the community or those about to move lo ihe US from Japan will be able to get a preview of the Novi school district

When they get over here we want to make sure they have adequate information about the district Dion said

The citys population was nine percent Asian as of the 2000 censhysus accounting for 4113 of Novis 47579 residents This years certified mid-decade censhysus placed the citys entire popushylation at 52231

orphanage has seven lawyers v^orking on the case according to OMeara

71ie last four weeks has put us

into a tailspin Anything we thought we knew about il and any preconceived ideas you have go right out OMeara said Absolutely nothing is sure right now

Casa Quivira is in Antigua a city in the Central American country of Gualen)ila it has been open since i996

Wilh internationai poiitics theres no simple answer Theres no official charges against the oriihanagc but some of the accushy

sations are ludicrous OMeara said

She said the concern her and most of the other soon-to-be adoptive parents iiavo is wilii the health and weil-tieing of iheir children in a counUy struggling to get by

Its such an incredibly poor country If theyre lucky (lan and Oabc) get into an overcrowded orphanage run by a US ciiaiity OMeara said Eighty percent of the population lives in extreme

poverty Theyre indigenous -Mayan - and make just a couple dollars a day In the city or out in the country its profound They live in tin shack homes built on the side of volcanos and have earthquakes and mudslides

With 42 children still unacshycounted for OMeara is ready to pack her bags at the first notice of being able to see and potentially bring htime her new children She would have to stay in Guatemala for four to six weeks to fight for

custody of the children however We wail Thais really all

were doing is waiting Its frusshytrating to have the safety of the children in the middle of a squabshyble for money she said

Starting a family Former residents of Hillsdale

Kathy attended Grand Valley Stale University and Brien attendshyed the University of Michigan After graduating and getting marshyried Brien worked as a certified public accountant and Kathy as an athletic trainer at Woodhaven High School lintil they decided to move to North Carolina for four years Their first child Abby was bom six months before moving to Germany for two years where their son Josh was bom

Now back in Novi they decidshyed about a year and a half ago that they wanted to look into adopfion Neighbors referred them to check out Casa Quivira in Guatemala

It was obvious after talking with people there that their focus was on the children and not willi us not with communicating wiUi parents but with kids They give the best care in Guatemala They can handle a baby that other places cant Kathy OMeara said

They were also impressed with the amount of bilinguil people in Europe specifically the waiters at restaurants that were required to know al least three languages hence a reason for looking at chilshydren from other countries

We had a gut feeling (about Guatemala) OMeara said We wanted oui- current children to be bilingual Our kids are learning Spanish Its important that we provide (lan and Gabe) as much of a link to their original country as possible

year I m going lo follow the

zoning exactly the way the City of Novi wrote it AdcU said staring he wil l only hold six-themed shows a year

If the Zoning Board o f Appeals chooses to change the previous use decision Adell plans to open the trade center for Its first show this month

According to City Manager Clay Pearson i f Ihe previous decision is upheld Smith on behalf of Adel l wi l l request a use variance

The ongoing debate between Adel l and the Ci ty o f Novi stems from Adell s pershysistence in reopening the building as a trade center business

Adel l began advertising and selling vendor space for the proposed Novi Trade Center in July and said he currently has 4100 people wanring a booth including 100 Novi residenis

At the riine Ade l l began selling vendor space city officials said he did not have permitted use of the facility as a trade center

I dont hope for anything Adell said Either tliey are going to give it to me or they are going to deny me

Adell said i f he is unable to proceed with his business plan he plans lo sue the City for blocking his ability lo conshyduct business al the property
