GROSSE POINTE PARK — Myron Williams will stand trial for the May murder of Grosse Pointe Park resident Sabrina Gianino.

Judge Carl Jarboe ruled Thursday, Oct. 10, there was enough evi-dence to charge Williams with fi rst degree murder, felony murder and unarmed robbery, and scheduled an arraign-

ment on the charges in Wayne County Circuit Court at 9 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 17. Williams is being held without bond in the Wayne County jail. If con-victed, he faces life in prison without parole.

In binding Williams, 42, over for trial, Jarboe said while there was no direct evidence linking him to the murder, there was strong circumstan-tial evidence, including Williams having in his possession items alleg-

edly taken from the vic-tim’s home.

At the time of the mur-der, Williams, his wife and four children lived in the attic in a house next door to Gianino.

Gianino, 35, was found

dead by her boyfriend shortly after midnight May 16 in a flat they shared on Wayburn. According to testimony from Assistant Wayne C o u n t y M e d i c a l Examiner Francesco

Diaz, Gianino was stran-gled with a ligature “con-sistent with an extension cord” and suffered blunt force trauma to the head.

Crowd rips DTEBy Kathy RyanStaff Writer

GROSSE POINTE WOODS — DTE Energy representatives met with residents Monday night, and while the utility reps brought charts, statistics and maps, they brought few answers to residents plagued by power outages.

In what has become an annual event, engineers and officials from DTE told residents work is progressing on several circuits in the Woods aimed at improving service.

“DTE is committing nearly $4 million to improving service,” Kathy Jordan, a DTE regional manager for corporate and gov-ernment affairs said. “We’re spending $800,000 for line clear-ance, $250,000 for line mainte-nance and nearly $3 million for line upgrades.”

But while that seems impres-sive on paper, many residents told Jordan they have yet to see any work being done on lines and equipment near their houses, and, more importantly, they have not seen any improvement in ser-vice.

“You told us this work would be completed by now, and it has barely begun,” one resident told the DTE reps. “What is taking so long? We’re not convinced any-thing has been fi xed.”

One resident complained of a two-hour outage that had occurred on his street Monday afternoon, which a DTE engineer said was caused by the failure of a piece of hardware.

One area of the Woods, known by DTE as Sector 1481, has been repeatedly hit with power out-ages, oftentimes lasting several days.

City of Grosse Pointe

Bedside illmanner

Beaumont Hospital Grosse Pointe security officers removed a 21-year-old Detroit man from the premises shortly before 10:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 11, for assaulting his girlfriend, a 20-year-old female patient, according to police.

“(She) stated she had a baby and was trying to get back into bed when her boyfriend started arguing with her,” said police.

The woman used a tele-phone to call for assis-tance.

“He got mad, pulled the phone from her hand and smacked her in the face,” police said.

Public safety officers arrested him on Cadieux north of Kercheval.

Grosse Pointe Farms

DisruptiveA drunken, 17-year-old

Grosse Pointe Farms man reportedly hit a fellow teen shortly before 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 11, near a ticket booth at the Grosse Pointe South High School athletic field during a football game with Grosse Pointe North.

The Farms suspect ini-tially refused to take a Breathalyzer test.

“My dad said I don’t have to,” he reportedly told police.

Officers arrested him and put him in handcuffs.

“(He) became upset and began to yell to take him to jail,” said a public safety offi cer.

The suspect agreed to take the test and regis-tered a .14 percent blood alcohol level.

Offi cers cited him for being a minor in posses-sion of alcohol.

They took him home to his mother.

DealingAn 18-year-old Harper

Woods man, arrested on Fisher the night Grosse Pointe South High School won a home football game against Grosse Pointe North, faces charges of possession of marijuana with the intent to sell it in a school zone.

Police on bicycle patrol pulled over the man, opera t ing a 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora, on Fisher near school prop-erty at 9:37 p.m. Friday, Oct. 11.

Offi cers searching the car reported fi nding .85 ounces of marijuana, a scale, a warm pipe and $868 cash.

A 19-year-old male pas-senger in the car lives in

Grosse Pointe Farms.

Air soft greetingAt about 8:30 p.m.

Thursday, Oct. 10, a man living on the fi rst block of Lewiston answered knocking on his front door and was shot at by a 12-year-old neighbor-hood boy with an Airsoft gun.

The man called police, but didn’t press charges.

“The (boy’s) father was advised of the incident and stated he would take care of it. (Case) closed,” said a public safety offi -cer.

Heroin userA 25-year-old Grosse

Pointe Park man didn’t leave much doubt prior to being arrested for posses-sion of narcotic para-phernalia at 5:24 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 10, at a service station at Mack and Moross.

A patrolman was at the station filling his scout car’s gasoline tank when the man staggered into the customer bathroom and didn’t come out.

“I entered the bath-room to fi nd (him) stand-ing in a stupor and mostly incoherent,” said the offi -cer. “He had a small syringe, consistent with heroin use, in his left hand. (He) admitted to having just ‘shot up’ her-oin.”

Medics took the man to St. John Hospital and Medical Center.

Window brokenA passenger-side win-

dow of a 2006 Chrysler

Town & Country van was smashed while parked overnight Wednesday, Oct. 9, in the 200 block of Ridgemont.

The owner said nothing was stolen from the vehi-cle.

CarjackingA man returning to his

maroon 1967 Ford Galaxy 500 four-door was car-jacked 7:38 p.m., Monday, Oct. 7, by two men wait-ing for him in the back seat.

He’d parked his car near a side take-out door of a restaurant in the 18700 block of Mack.

Upon returning and getting behind the wheel, he saw two unknown men sitting in the back-seat.

One man wore a gray hoodie and had a metal object the victim assumed was a weapon. The other suspect had facial hair and wore a baseball cap

“The suspect with the gray hoodie ordered the victim to look forward,” said a public safety offi -cer.

The victim complied.“The suspects ordered

the victim to drive across Mack to Mack and Ashley (in Detroit), where the suspects ordered the vic-tim to stop, exit the vehi-cle and walk away,” police said. “The victim complied. The suspects drove off in the vehicle northbound on Ashley from Mack, to where unknown.”

The victim described the suspects as black males in their 20s.

Fake scriptsWhile arresting a

24-year-old man from Taylor at a Hill drugstore at about 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6, for allegedly pre-senting a fake prescrip-tion, police confiscated four prescription slips written to different peo-ple for a total of 270 pills of Hydrocodone.

One of the prescrip-tions was written for a 25-year- old Grosse Pointe Park woman.

Offi cers recognized her name from a complaint she filed in September about someone at the same pharmacy trying to falsely obtain Vicodin in her name.

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — The judge elected to preside over the Grosse Pointe Farms and Shores municipal courts serves a four-year term and is paid a combined $25,000 annually.

Judicial candidates in the Tuesday, Nov. 5, elec-tion are challenger Matthew Peck and incumbent Matthew Rumora.

Matthew Peck (C)Matthew Peck was

unable to schedule an interview.

Matthew Rumora (I)

For judges, unlike ath-letes, it’s good to spend a lot of time on the bench.

“I’ve been the Farms judge for more than 25 years,” said Matthew Rumora, seeking reelec-tion as Grosse Pointe Farms-Shores municipal judge. “I love the job and I have the same enthusi-asm for it as 25 years ago.”

He said good municipal judges need to listen and be patient.

“Most people coming into court don’t have law-

yers,” Rumora said. “Some are angry, some are scared, some are con-fused. They don’t under-stand the system.

“If you listen to what they say, and if you’re patient with them, hope-fully, when they leave, they’ll have a good feel-ing about the court and of Grosse Pointe Farms and Shores court in particu-lar.”

A common theme while presiding over cases, misdemeanor or felony, is showing respect.

“I tell the staff to always try to treat people in court with dignity,” Rumora said. “I have to make rulings against people that may upset them. But all-in-all, my court has a good reputa-tion.”

A lot of young defen-dants are first-time offenders.

“We get quite a few cases of younger people who have problems with substance abuse or are experimenting with alco-hol or marijuana,” Rumora said. “They’re good people who have good futures ahead of them. A lot of times, good people make a mistake.”

In such cases, Rumora often imposes sentences intended to ensure the defendants are first-

and-only-timers.“I try to get them in an

alcohol education pro-gram or impulse control program that helps them with information about what alcohol or mari-juana can do,” Rumora said. “That way, they’re not saddled with a crimi-nal record that follows them the rest of their life.”

An offense committed during teenage years can hang over a person into adulthood and hurt pros-pects for meaningful employment.

“We try to help them and, at the same time, not give them a slap on the wrist,” Rumora said. “We have very few who come back a second time.”

Serious and violent offenders are another matter.

“If I run across a situa-tion where a person

breaks into a home, as recently happened to a 95-year-old man on Lakeshore, a person like that is a danger to the public,” Rumora said. “I set a high bond to make sure he doesn’t walk out of the courtroom a free man until another judge hears the case if and when it goes downtown to circuit court.”

Rumora grew up in the Farms and has been in private legal practice for 39 years.

GROSSE POINTE PARK — The Red Crown restaurant, the anchor for the re-devel-opment of Kercheval Avenue, will remain open while it undergoes a change in ownership and management.

The Cotton Family, the major developers of the area, have taken over the restaurant from well-known restaura-teur Mindy Lopus.

According to Rob Ermanni, project man-ager for the Kercheval development project, Lopus wanted to spend more time with her fam-ily.

In addition to Red Crown, the Cottons have taken over two other Lopus projects, the Bona Fide Bakery and a coffee shop, which were built on the site of the old Mulier’s Market. The bakery and coffee shop, which were scheduled to open this past summer, remain closed.

According to Jon Cotton, the bakery is ready to open and they are in talks with several people to take over the operation.

“It’s turnkey ready, and we’re ready to have it open as soon as pos-sible,” he said.

But for now, their focus is on Red Crown.

“The last thing I wanted to do was get in the restaurant busi-ness,” Cotton said, “but we’re totally committed to the Red Crown, it’s our anchor. We have

brought back the for-mer manager and we’re looking forward to offering a great dining experience in the Park.”

T h e r e s t a u r a n t remains open for dinner service and lunch ser-vice will resume soon.

“We will have a new menu soon, as well as e x t e n d e d h o u r s , ” Ermani said. “The staff is on board with changes and are anxious to step up the service.”

The Red Crown opened to much fanfare in March. It is located in the historic Standard Oil gas station located at Kercheval and Beaconsfi eld.

The restaurant fea-tures American cuisine, including several barbe-cue-style dishes, dill pickle soup, grits and a full complement of wine and spirits.

Cotton said at least two other restaurants are planned for the area, but nothing has been fi nalized as of yet. He expects new eateries to go in to the former Janet’s Lunch and the building that housed the Full Circle Resale Shop, but declined to provide details.

“We’re in very prelim-inary talks,” he said.

He also said the A twate r Brewery, located in the former Grace Communi ty Church, expects to open in March.

“They plan on holding some special events at the site, but the grand opening, including the brewery and restaurant, is scheduled for March,” he said.

It’s a demon wind that sinks a cargo ship carry-ing good luck charms.

Yet, no talisman could counter the 90-mph storm of November 1913 that blew 12 Great Lakes freighters and more than 250 crew to the bottom.

“The storm of 1913 was the worst storm ever,” said Mac McAdam, a member of the Great Lakes Maritime Institute board of directors from Dearborn.

Not even the 249-foot steamer, Regina, carrying

horseshoes among her mixed cargo, survived intact.

“I added the combined tonnage of ships lost dur-ing the storm,” said Robert McGreevy, a marine artist and author formerly of Grosse Pointe, now living in Port Huron. “It added up to eight freighters the size of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Most of the ships sank in lower Lake Huron.”

The Regina lay undis-covered, upside down in 80 feet of water about 3 1 /2 -mi les o f f shore between Lexington and Port Sanilac until found

by accident in 1986 by commercial diver, Wayne Brusate, of Port Huron.

“I was looking for a tug boat that sank in that area,” Brusate said. “I came across a much big-ger wreck.”

He swam down the bro-ken hull past a large pro-peller and rudder to the nameplate on the stern: Regina.

Spilled cargo on the muddy lakebed included horseshoes.

“Think of the Regina as a general store,” said Brusate, in charge of the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department dive team. “It supplied towns in the Canadian north with barbed wire, fi les, cham-pagne, scotch whisky, soap, medicines, bails of hay and sewer pipe on her deck.”

About 50 artifacts from

Regina are being sold at silent auction during the maritime institute’s din-ner, 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 27, at Blossom Heath Inn, in St. Clair Shores. The dinner commemorates the storm’s centennial.

Tickets cost $40 each.“This is a once-in-a-life-

time thing,” McAdam said.

According to John Polacsek, retired director of Dossin Great Lakes Museum and an institute board member from Detroit, artifacts include:◆ seven-inch white

bowls,◆ wooden thermometer

holders,◆ a gallon jug,◆ the bottom half of the

ship’s compass housing,◆ the brass base for the

ship’s telegraph, the top half of which was torn off in the storm,◆ a large metal block

with a hook attached,◆ a brass door lock

made by J. E. Stewart in Glasgow, Scotland, and◆ parts of oil lamps.The silent auction

includes:◆ glass jars marked

“Chivers” that held ko-sher English preserves,◆ white ceramic lotion

jars,◆ bottles of lotion pro-

duced by the A. S. Hinds Company in Portland, Maine,◆ Heinz 57 ketchup bot-

tles,◆ metal spoons,◆ full bottles of Whyte

& McKay Scotch, Dewars Scotch and bottles of

Mumm’s champagne sold only as artifacts.

Before dinner, artifacts, which Brusate salvaged in accord with a Michigan permit, are exhibited at Gifts Afloat, 24601 Jefferson between Nine and 10 Mile, in St. Clair Shores.

The dinner includes presentations by Brusate and McGreevy about the big storm.

“We’ll discuss the diffi -cult salvage efforts and eventual rewards ,” Brusate said. “The audi-ence will see the wreck as we fi rst found it, before zebra mussels covered everything.”

McGreevy gives a half-hour presentation about the stranded 500-foot freighter, Howard M. Hanna Jr.

“She’s typical of the ships that sank during the storm, but the entire c r e w s u r v i v e d , ” M c G r e e v y s a i d .

“Everyone from the cap-tain to the cook left a written account of what it was like in the storm.”

He read the accounts to piece together reasons the boat fl oundered.

“It is probably what also happened to the other eight ships that sank in lower Lake Huron that same day,” McGreevy said.

The sinkings were due to a series of physical forces coupled with over-confident skippers, McGreevy said.

“There were problems with the design of hatch covers of ships of that period,” he said. “The ships were extremely under-powered.”

“When you can’t keep your bow into the wind, there’s difficulties,” Polacsek said.

Tickets to the Great L a k e s M a r i t i m e Institute’s 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 27, full-course dinner and silent auction of ship-wreck artifacts are avail-able at Gift Afl oat, 25601 Jefferson, St. Clair Shores; by calling (586) 777-8300 or through PayPal by visiting glmi.org.

stand during the prelimi-nary examination in front of Jarboe, ranging from a loss prevention man-ager from Abercrombie & Fitch to a crack dealer who sold $20 in rock cocaine to Williams in exchange for a laptop computer belonging to Gianino’s boyfriend.

The crack dealer, Antonio Mitchell, testi-fied that “sometime between 10 p.m. and mid-night,” the night of May 15, Williams came to his house on Alter and gave him a laptop computer, later identified as one belonging to Gianino’s boyfriend, in exchange for cocaine. Mitchell also testifi ed Williams left an iPhone and an iPod on a table, but there was no discussion between the two of them about the items.

Under questioning by Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Molly Kettler, Mitchell said around 3

a.m. he noticed the phone had been ringing steadily, so he decided to answer it. The caller, a Grosse Pointe Park detective, told him the phone was part of a very serious police investigation and he agreed to meet with police, but later changed his mind.

“I decided not to go because I didn’t want to get involved,” he told Kettler.

He then testified he gave the phone to a friend, telling him to “throw it in the trash.” Later that day the friend told him the phone belonged to a dead per-son, and Mitchell, along with the friend, “encoun-tered police and stopped and talked to them.” Mitchell told police who had left the phone at his house, and was taken into custody. He also said Williams was a steady customer who purchased crack from him “about every other day.” He didn’t know his name or where he lived, saying he only knew him by the name, “TD,” or “Truck

Driver.” Williams had worked as a truck driver, but was unemployed at the time of the murder.

W i l l i a m s w i f e , Quashaunda Williams, 36, testifi ed her husband had used crack cocaine in the past, and she could tell when he was using by his behavior.

“He would become par-anoid and sweaty,” she told Kettler, “and he would accuse me of hav-ing other men in the house.”

She said the night of the murder she had gone to bed early, but heard her husband come in around 9:30 p.m., and he appeared “sober.”

She then testifi ed she heard her husband come in a second time and saw him sitting on the bed, and when she asked where he had been, he told her he had used the bathroom.

“But I had heard the front door open, and I knew the bathroom was not outside,” she said. “He didn’t leave the attic at night to use the bath-room. At night he would pee in a jar in the attic.”

She said she was awak-ened shortly after that by the sound of sirens out-side the house, and it was then she noticed her hus-band “looked like he had been smoking crack. He was sweating and in a daze.”

She then identifi ed sev-eral letters to and from her husband while he was in jail.

It was the contents of

the letters that would link a key piece of evidence in the murder to Williams.

It was brought out in court that Williams had asked his wife and at least one other person to retrieve his wallet, which was being held in the property room at the Wayne County jail. Based on that information, Grosse Pointe Park police obtained a search war-rant and retrieved Williams’ wallet. In the wallet they found a gift card from clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch. Gianino’s mother allowed police to look through her daughter’s clothing, where they found a shirt from Abercrombie & Fitch. It was later determined the shirt had been bought using the gift card Williams had in his pos-session.

Williams’ attorney, Ray Paige, told Jarboe the prosecutor had failed to provide enough evidence to charge his client with murder.

“Even if we were to admit he had possession of these items, the ques-tion is when did he come in possession of them,” Paige told the court. “We don’t know if they were stolen before May 15 and even if he did steal them, it doesn’t equate to mur-der. The evidence pre-sented is woefully inadequate.”

Jarboe ruled otherwise.Gianino’s mother was

in the courtroom, but declined to comment.

TRIAL:Continued from page 1A

Appraiser will hear disputesCITY OF GROSSE POINTE — An outside appraiser is being brought in to resolve dis-putes about the value of three commercial prop-erties.

All three properties are in the Village down-town section of the City of Grosse Pointe.

Municipal officials value them at a total of $3,825,400.

Petitioners counter with a combined value of $1,784,000.

The $2,041,400 differ-ence represents the city’s appraisal being more than twice the value claimed by the petitioners.

“Because of the amounts involved, and the commercial nature of the properties, it is necessary for the city to

retain professional appraisers to prepare the city’s valuation dis-closures,” according to Charles Kennedy III, city attorney.

The properties, their petitioners’ claimed true cash values compared with values claimed by the city, are:

◆ Kay Baum, 16822 Kercheval Place; city: $1,435,800; petitioner: $800,000.

◆ Sunrise, on St. Clair south of Kercheval; city: $903,400; petitioner: $386,000.

◆ RBS Citizens, 63 Notre Dame; city: $1,486,200; petitioner: $598,000.

Each outside appraisal may cost the city up to $5,000 for a total not to exceed $15,000.

GROSSE POINTE SHORES — Upon receipt of 55,000 stainless steel screws at Osius Park, installa-tion begins on new marina decking.

A city administrator dickered down the price of individual screws from 13 cents to 7.8 cents.

Savings totals more than $2,000, Grosse Pointe Shores City Manager Mark Wollenweber said.

New decking is being provided free as part of a settlement for failed planks installed three years ago during marina reconstruction.

“We got $90,000 worth of decking at wholesale,” said Brian Renaud, city attorney. “Retail value is $180,000. We (also) got $16,000 in cash.”

The only thing worse than finding out you have cancer...

is finding out too late.At some point in life, one in eight women will get breast cancer.

Fortunately, when it’s found early, survival rates increase up to 95%. But sometimes, the earliest stages of breast cancer are the hardest to detect. That’s why if you’re over 40, it matters that you get a digital mammogram – every year.

And it also matters where you get it.

At Beaumont our radiologists are experienced, board certified breast cancer specialists. Doctors who have made finding cancer their life’s work.

Maybe that’s why, every year, Beaumont detects and treats more early stage breast cancer than any other hospital in Michigan.

Because the only thing worse than finding out you have cancer is finding out too late.

Schedule your mammogram. Locations throughout the area

8AOP/ED

It comes as no sur-prise to most people that in the year 2013 “inventions” such as air condi-

tioning, computers and cellphones are no longer newfangled fads, but rath-er essential devices in ev-eryday life. Most people don’t even give these de-vices a second thought, just as no one gives it a second thought when they walk into their homes and expect the lights to come on when they fl ick the switch, expect the food in the refrigerator to be cold and expect the television to click on if you can fi nd the remote and press the power switch.

However, if you live in certain sections of Grosse Pointe Woods no one takes electricity for grant-ed, because on any given day, there’s no guarantee certain sections of the city will have power, and if it does, it’s a good bet that some homes will be re-ceiving half the juice nor-mally required to run standard 120 volt appli-ances. Stormy day, sunny day, warm day, cold day, it doesn’t matter. There’s no rhyme or reason as to why the power goes out.

Residents, understand-ably, are fed up and have pressed DTE for answers for the past couple of

years. They have met with representatives and engi-neers from DTE and city offi cials have taken their concerns to the Michigan Public Service Commission. They have placed hundreds of phone calls to....and I’m using the term loosely here....DTE Customer Service. They have heard countless out-rageous excuses. Squirrels have chewed through the wires. There was a thunder storm in Ann Arbor. A tree limb came down in St.Clair Shores. It’s a hot day and too many people have their air conditioning run-ning. It’s a cold day. They have heard it all.

But what they have yet to hear is that their prob-lem is going to be fi xed any time soon.

Several residents came to a meeting Monday night at the Woods city hall, where representa-tives of DTE told them, yet again, they were working on it. As soon as the engineers began the Power Point presenta-tion, one knew the resi-dents were going to be fed a heaping pile of elec-trical bovine excrement.

This was yet another meeting with DTE, ironi-cally on a day when sev-eral residents experi-enced yet another power outage, where residents were told how many pow-er outages they have had to endure, as if they didn’t know already. There was yet another discussion of

line splits in various sec-tors, transformers and ca-bles. And with great fan-fare, DTE reminded resi-dents that the company was pouring millions of dollars into the area to upgrade power grids. One couldn’t help but en-vision the scene from “Oliver,” where the poor orphan holds out his bowl to Fagan and asks, “Please, sir, may I have some more.”

How is it that home-owners who dutifully pay their utility bill every month have been reduced to begging and relying on the largesse of a monopo-ly? DTE shouldn’t be handing out electrical service and upgrades as an elderly aunt would hand out dollar bills to well behaving nieces and nephews. And it shouldn’t be offering lame, often-times inaccurate, excus-es, whether they come from the voice of “cus-tomer service” on a phone or someone with a title who actually faces customers in person at these meetings and says, “We try not to have these meetings because every-one is so upset.”

And with good reason.Residents, in turn, told

DTE the reality of power outages and perpetual brownouts. Flooded basements due to sump pumps being inoperable, spoiled food, damaged appliances. They also spoke of the perpetual run around they receive

from DTE. And while they can’t count on reli-able power, they can count on lame excuses from DTE, a less than re-liable estimate of when power might be restored and a 100 percent denial rate on claims for dam-aged appliances or food loss.

DTE offered little in the way of answers to resi-dents, other than the usu-al clichés of “feeling their frustration,” and “we’ll pass on your concerns.”

Residents want more than clichés. They want reliable electrical service. And that’s not something they “deserve,” some-thing they are “entitled to.” It’s far more than that, it’s something they pay for.

There was talk among residents of a class action suit, perhaps setting up an escrow account where their DTE payments could be sent. Better yet, why aren’t the offi cials of DTE being held account-able?

The simple answer is that residents can’t buy their electricity from an-other supplier other than DTE.

And DTE knows that, and that’s the residents’ real frustration.

As council member Art Bryant said after the meeting, “DTE came to this meeting woefully un-prepared.”

And that appears to be a perennial problem with DTE.

If frustration could be measured in kilowatt hours….

The Good Samaritan Statute en-courages emergency as-

sistance, giving doctors qualifi ed immunity when they voluntarily respond to a life threatening emer-gency situation in a hospi-tal, when the doctor does not have an actual duty to respond.

Qualifi ed immunity means the doctor is not li-able for civil damages as a result of an act or omis-sion in the rendering of emergency care of a non-

patient except for an act or omission amounting to gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct.

The law originally ap-plied only to the rendering of care at the scene of an emergency outside a hos-pital setting. However, the law was amended to ex-tend protection to doctors in a hospital setting when they were not under a du-ty to respond.

The appellate courts have indicated the law was intended to simplify a doctor’s decision whether to come to the aid of a per-

son who is not a patient but requires emergency treatment by removing the fear of a potential mal-practice suit, unless the doctor is guilty of gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct.

The immunity provided by the statute comes into play by the doctor’s deci-sion to respond. Moreover, a doctor’s good faith belief that the situa-tion is a life threatening emergency entitles the doctor to immunity under the Good Samaritan Statute.

This law was enacted to encourage doctors to an-swer calls for assistance in emergency situations in-volving nonpatients, with-out incurring liability un-less they are guilty of gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct in rendering treatment.

Good Samaritan StatuteG U E S T O P I N I O N By Matthew R. Rumora

The residents and business owners of Grosse Pointe Woods deserve more in-formation from DTE Energy. Answers were scarce at a special meeting with DTE offi cials Monday night.

City offi cials again hosted the power company to ask “why?”

Why do residents and business owners have to suffer through unexplained outages? At times for hours. At times for days.

To say it’s been frustrating, is an understatement. Dan Curis, a Woods resident and owner of the Big

Boy at Vernier and Mack, said he carries more insur-ance because of power issues with DTE.

“All we want are answers, but we’re getting the same answers we got a year ago.”

And the year before that.Outages have led to damages at houses and busi-

nesses and those affected have lost hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Major storms will always be an issue with so many mature trees, but a recent day-long outage came on a sunny, hot day.

Maintenance on lines and on an aging system need to move faster. Winter is around the corner and Grosse Pointe Woods deserves better.

Will threats of a lawsuit and another trip to the Michigan Public Service Commission help?

We’ll see. Hopefully after dark, too.

Great supportNot surprising the Cotton family steps up again to

help the Grosse Pointes. Their purchase of the Red Crown restaurant and

others on Kercheval in Grosse Pointe Park came with restaurateur Mindy Lopus saying she wants more time with her family.

The Red Crown, Bona Fide Bakery and a coffee shop, are transferring to the Cottons. Jon Cotton said at least two other restaurants are planned for the area and the Atwater Brewery, slated for the for-mer Grace Community Church, will open next March.

It’s exciting to see the growth and investment in the Pointes. The Cottons have stepped up to the plate again.

Cool placeA nice hometown feel and a great place for meet-

ings is at 15324 Mack in the Park. Higher Grounds Coffee Cafe at the corner of Nottingham and Mack offers great coffee, smoothies, coffee cake, soups and more.

Artwork by local artists is featured and sold, with a portion of sales going to Higher Ground Ministries.

Check it out. Free WiFi and a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for meetings or doing homework.

Planning for futureA forum, “Estate Planning for Today’s Modern

Family,” will take place at 6 p.m. Oct. 23, at the Neighborhood Club. The Club is located at 17150 Waterloo in the City of Grosse Pointe.

The free, hour-long event will feature a profes-sional estate planner and certifi ed fi nancial planner, both from the Grosse Pointes.

Estate planning topics will include second mar-riages, blended families, same-sex couples, large age gaps between children and investing for irre-sponsible or spendthrift children.

No registration is required.

Rotary show“Rotary in the Pointes & Around the World,” a new

cable show sponsored by Grosse Pointe’s morning and afternoon Rotary clubs, debuts Monday, Oct. 21, on WMTV.

The fi rst show was taped on Oct. 10, and airs at 6:30 p.m. and 3:30 a.m. Oct. 21 through 27.

Attempted Pharmacy B&E

At 4:30 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 13, three unknown suspects made their way

into a pharmacy in an offi ce building on Mack through a side door, but fl ed when they were spot-ted by a security guard. They were last seen leav-ing the scene in a full-size tan Ford Econoline van. Grosse Pointe Woods police were later notifi ed by Southfi eld police a van matching the description was involved in a pursuit in that city, but had

crashed and the suspects fl ed on foot. Surveillance video is being reviewed.

Theft from garage

A homeowner on Lennon noticed a garage door ajar around noon, Friday, Oct. 11. Several items were missing, including plumbing sup-plies, lawn equipment

and a bike.— Kathy Ryan

Report information on these or other crimes to Grosse Pointe Woods police, (313) 343-2400.

No reports were avail-able from Grosse Pointe Park this week.

REPORTS:Continued from page 2A

Woods resident Dan Curis, owner of the Big Boy restaurant at Mack and Vernier, told the DTE reps residents had a right to be upset.

“I am forced to pay more insurance for no other reason than DTE,” he said. “All we want are answers, but we’re get-ting the same answers we got a year ago.”

In July 2011 residents met with DTE represen-tatives, and a year later, July 2012, they met with them again. At both meet-

ings, residents were assured the problems would be fi xed.

One area of great con-cern to many residents was the continuing situa-tion of low voltage being delivered to their homes. Many have had to replace or repair appliances that were damaged or destroyed due to not using the proper amount of voltage. Several have used voltage meters to measure the amount of electricity being deliv-ered to their houses, and some have registered as low as 88 to what should be a 120-watt line.

And when one resident asked if DTE could pro-

vide voltage meters the company itself could monitor, an engineer said the company only has 10 such meters for the entire service area.

Councilwoman Vicki Granger told residents voltage meters were available through the Grosse Pointe Public Library.

Several residents left the meeting before it was over, expressing frustra-tion with the lack of answers from the DTE representatives.

Jordan did assure resi-dents she would be in touch with a representa-tive from the DTE claims department to discuss

residents’ concerns over how their inquiries could be handled, and will pro-vide any additional infor-m a t i o n t o c i t y administrator Skip Fincham for distribution to residents.

Following the meeting, Mayor Robert Novitke said the city would follow up with DTE to make cer-tain any plans put forth by DTE are completed.

“I would hope we would not have to go back before the Michigan P u b l i c S e r v i c e Commission, but we will,” he said. “They have made some improve-ments, but obviously not enough.”

Like millions of others around the world, Kathleen White has seen the infamous video of Miley Cyrus. The one of Cyrus stripping and grinding and twerking and tongue-wagging her way through her perfor-mance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.

After hearing all about the media firestorm in the days and weeks that followed the perfor-mance, White, a nun of 25 years and the new principal at St. Paul on the Lake Catholic School, had to see it for herself.

Not surprisingly, her reaction, like many oth-ers, was that of shock and awe. But beyond the initial shock, she had feelings of frustration and disappointment, mostly in knowing the negative repercussions such a video could have on the minds of youths, many of who have grown up idolizing Cyrus from her Disney days as Hannah Montana.

“This is who, at one point, people held up as a good role model for students,” said White, a native eastsider who attended and later

became an administrator at both St. Thecla School and Regina High School — during its Harper Woods years. At St. Paul, she replaces Mary Miller following Miller’s retire-ment after eight years as a Laker.

“I’m not a prude. I like music; I grew up with Madonna,” White said. “I get that. But, at what point do we expose our children and give them the knowledge of what is right and what is wrong? Or what’s make-believe or what is real?”

It’s that moral under-standing of right and wrong that White has strived to instill in her students, both as a teacher and as an admin-istrator. It’s also the most important virtue she wants her students to learn before graduation.

“If anything I could have my students gradu-ate, that’d be it,” White said, adding it’s been her philosophy that every child is born inherently good, and it’s the exam-ples adults set and the values they instill that help shape children into the people they become.

A crowd gathered near the playground outside Mai re E lementary School; students, staff and parents there to pay tribute, as principal Sonja Franchett led a dedication ceremony in honor of the late Sarla Sharma.

Sharma, a crossing guard, p layground supervisor and avid bike rider, had become a sta-ple at Maire during the last eight years, dedicat-ing her time in the morn-ing, afternoon and during lunch hour to ensure students’ safety when crossing the street or at recess. She passed away last May.

Her family also was in attendance at the cere-mony, during which the school community com-memorated her years of

commitment and service with a bike rack sculp-ture and plaque in her memory.

Both items were pur-chased with money col-lected last year from donations courtesy of students, staff and par-ents.

“We feel very strongly that she made a differ-ence in our school com-munity, and we are very grateful to have had her here,” Franchett said.

Several others spoke as well, about Sharma’s kindness, her dry wit and sense of humor, her work ethic and that twinkle in her eye she had every day.

“A l w a y s , ” s a i d Elizabeth Tague. “On the hardest days, on the worst-weather days, she had that twinkle in her eye.”

The ceremony con-cluded with music

teacher Glen Hipple directing students in a performance of “God Bless America.”

“We were very fortu-nate to have her,” said George Flora, building engineer at Maire. “To me, she was a good friend, a very good friend.”

Maire Elementary School Principal Sonja Franchett speaks during the bike rack sculpture and plaque dedication ceremony in honor of Sarla Sharma.

For eight years, Sharma, left, ensured Maire stu-dents’ safety when crossing the street before and af-ter school. She also was a playground supervisor during lunch hours.

With this year’s sixth grade Field Day at Pierce Middle School, physical education teacher Beth Allan decided to experiment with the scheduling, moving the event from its traditional spring date to the fall.

The change in date, she found out, added an element of fun to the stu-dents’ introduction to middle school and provided an avenue for them to get to know each other.

“(Pierce principal) Gary (Buslepp) was able to talk to them; we talked a little bit about the history of (the school) inside,” Allan said. “Some of the groups out here didn’t even know each other before they came out here.”

By day’s end, everyone knew every-

one, and students were cheering each other on in the tug-of-war; running around the Pierce athletic field in groups of three, four, sometimes fi ve students; talking and laughing and having fun together at each of the event’s 19 game stations.

For students, the fall fun and funky Field Day was a fantabulous, swagili-cious, fun time with friends.

“Field Day is awesome,” said sixth grader Delaney Garvey.

For Allan, such positive responses served as validation of her moving the event from spring to fall.

“I kind of like this, as a welcome to Pierce,” Allan said.

Ladies and gentlemen, we bring you “Symphony No. 1,” a piece to be heard for the fi rst time ever Saturday, Oct. 26, when it is performed by the 60-piece symphony orchestra of Grosse Pointe South High School. This new piece is light and lively; a score that should be exhilarating for the lis-tener.

At least, that’s what the teenaged composer is hoping for.

Connor Reinman, a senior at South, has dabbled in composition and mel-ody writing for years. But the seven-minute Symphony No. 1 is his piece de resistance. . .for now.

The double bass player plans to major in music composition at either Rice University in Houston, Texas, or McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He has written pieces for string quar-tets, piano, as well as a piano, violin and cello trio.

His quartet piece was well received last year at the Composers’ Concert of Tri-M, South High School’s Modern Music Masters honor society.

Also, a choral piece Reinman wrote at a 2012 summer camp at Interlochen Academy for the Arts was honored in a competition hosted by the Michigan Music Educators Association.

South’s concert is billed as an OktoberFest event with German refreshments, desserts and beverages.

General admission tickets are $15 for adults; $5 for students. Tickets are available at Posterity: A Gallery, 17005 Kercheval in the Village, or at the door of the South auditorium, 11 Grosse Pointe Blvd.

The concert is at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6 p.m.

“It is a rare feat,” said James Gross, South orchestra director. In the 10 years that Gross has been with South, he’s never had a student compose a complete orchestra. “It is a sophisti-cated and mature piece. He put a great deal of thought and work into it.”

Reinman credits Gross for encour-aging him.

“Mr. Gross is a wonderful man,” he said. “I couldn’t ask for a better person to encourage me as I begin what I hope to be my future career. He has put forth numerous opportunities for me, especially allowing me to conduct var-ious pieces.”

Reinman will conduct the world pre-miere of Symphony No. 1 at the Oct. 26 concert — it’s just two days after the tall, lanky, curly-topped young upper-classmen turns 17 years old.

“It’s a great birthday present,” he said.

Reinman said Gross encouraged him last May “to write something that we can perform for your ‘Senior

Showcase’ next year.” At shocking speed, Reinman was

done with the fi rst movement of the symphony just two months later. He would like for this piece, described as neoclassical by Gross, to eventually have four movements.

“I came home from a family vacation in July, and found in my front door Connor’s score and a note from him asking me to look it over. I am so very proud of him, and each and every one of these kids,” Gross said, sweeping his hand toward the 50-plus student musicians who were tuning up in the school’s band room on a crisp morning in late September.

Gross, a viola player and graduate of the University of Michigan’s music school, offered to mark up Reinman’s score with the bowings and fi ngerings for the string players.

Using Finale music software, Reinman then typed his handwritten score in order to print sheet music that delineated the instrumentation for the 14 different instruments for which he wrote.

For six instruments — violin, clari-net, French horn, bassoon, trumpet and trombone — he wrote both “fi rst” and “second” section parts.

Reinman earned a perfect score on the Advanced Placement Music Theory

exam in May 2012. His aptitude with writing music in

treble, bass and C-clef, as well as transposing the key signatures so that, for example, the B-fl at clarinet, trum-pet and tenor saxophone, and the F-major scale tuned French horn, do not sound discordant to each other, highlights his thorough understanding of music.

He admits that the French horn parts were the toughest.

“There were some wonky transposi-tions for the French horn,” he said. “I’d pause and ask myself, ‘Let’s see, I want the French Horn to play a ‘C’ here, so what note do I write? Oh yeah, a ‘G.’”

“I can hear pitches in my head, so I started jotting down melodies during some of my other classes last May,” he admitted, a little sheepishly.

Ever prudent to do his best, he attended a week-long composition writing workshop at Oberlin College and Conservatory in Ohio last summer to gain additional reviews of his already fi nished draft.

The 336-measure symphony has a 10-measure quote from the second movement of Beethoven’s 7th Symphony.

“It’s one of my favorite symphony pieces,” Reinman said. “It is a gor-

geous funeral march. The counter melody of the fugue in the second movement was something I knew was going to blend nicely with what I was writing. I was excited to include the quote.”

While Reinman’s piece includes the nod to Beethoven, his conducting style has his friends and Gross teasing him that he is in full “Carlos Klieber mode”. Kleiber, the German-born Austrian conductor, who died in 2004, had more than fi ve decades on the podium and was considered one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century.

Reinman rehearsed daily with his string instrument friends, and was joined by brass, woodwind and per-cussion classmates on Wednesday evenings.

He describes his symphony as “very accessible, light and even skippy.” But, that’s not to say, at times, the music didn’t challenge his classmates.

“I know these measures stretch the trumpets,” he said, pointing to his score where the trumpets are asked to hit high-range notes, accomplished with only a fl awlessly stable and fi rm embouchure of the mouth.

Several minutes into rehearsing the middle of the piece, Reinman paused. With clarity — coupled with friendli-ness and respect — he told his fellow musicians, “See where there’s a dotted eighth note followed by a 16th note? Give those 16th notes a snap into the next beat, or else the rhythm sounds like it’s been changed into a triplet.”

Cellist Janey Degnan, a senior, said that rehearsing Reinman’s symphony piece has been really fun, calling the piece upbeat.

“It’s amazing how different it sounds when just the strings alone play it, ver-sus when the full orchestra rehearses it,” she said.

Violist Spencer Korejwo, also a senior, said that it’s been a different adventure to play Reinman’s piece. He, along with violinists Hannah Adams and Chenoa Gachupin, a senior and junior, respectively, explained that usually Gross, with each piece of music he wants to intro-duce them to, plays some of it himself, or he plays a recording of it, or even fi nds a video clip on YouTube for them.

“But, Connor’s piece is original, of course, so there’s no previous record-ing or YouTube video. I remember sight reading it for the fi rst time in September and thinking that this was something special,” Korejwo said.

Like Beethoven’s works, maybe “Symphony No. 1 by great American composer / conduc tor Connor Reinman” will be remembered two centuries later.

Now as a principal, she’s cultivating it and modeling Christ’s values for

about 450 students.“I believe that, by putting forth the

values of Jesus Christ, I’m affecting 450 students and having them learn His ways,” she said. “I try to be a good model.”

On the morning of October 9, 2013, more than 115 students, staff and parents from Poupard Elementary School met at the Harper Woods Fire Department to participate in International Walk to School Day.

While this has become an annual event for Poupard, in support of a healthy lifestyle and healthy earth, they decided to incorporate another initiative as well, joining Pacer’s National Bullying Prevention Center in recognizing the day as Unity Day.

To show their support, Poupard students and staff were encouraged to wear orange, the offi cial color of Unity Day, and classroom discussions were held to inspire students to be united in making Poupard the best school it can be.

Students will be participating in activities through-out October to create their vision of what they want Poupard to be and how everyone can unite together to continue to make Poupard the school it is.

PA S T O R ’ S C O R N E R By Rev. Ben Van Arragon

Seventy years after the fall of Jerusalem, survivors of the exile return to God’s Promised Land. They’re led by Nehemiah, a civic employee of Babylon, whose boss gives him a leave of absence

to go back and rebuild the ruined city of his an-cestors. Nehemiah makes the trip; sets up camp; and one night goes out to inspect the city.

It’s far worse than he imagined. The walls are completely broken down and

overgrown. It looks less like a city than a pile of rubble.

Nehemiah goes back to the camp.And he says to his leaders:“You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies

in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fi re. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.” (Nehemiah 2:17)

But Nehemiah adds that God has miraculously paved the way for them to be right here, right now. And God will not abandon them at this point in the project.

In response, his leaders say, “Let us start re-building.” In spite of the odds against them, they engage the good work. (Nehemiah 2:18)

They don’t do the work alone. A whole crowd of haters appears on day one of the reconstruc-tion.

They stand around all day — not helping, of course — telling the workers how their endeavor is impossible. Telling them they’re fools to be-lieve the ruins can be rebuilt.

But they don’t do the work alone. Nehemiah tells his detractors,

“The God of heaven will give us success. We his servants will start rebuilding, but as for you, you have no share in our city or any claim or his-toric right to it.” (Nehemiah 2:20)

Our God is a God of rebuilding. A God who re-stores ruined hearts; reconciles ruined relation-ships; redeems ruined communities.

When conditions for full human fl ourishing are being rebuilt, God is at work. When we step out in courage to join God in his work, we cannot fail. Don’t stand back and hate. Instead have the courage to jump in.

And if you are engaged in the daunting and dif-fi cult task of rebuilding — a relationship; a com-munity; a city — don’t listen to the haters.

The God of heaven will give us success.

Van Arragon is minister of the First Christian Reformed Church of Detroit, 1444 Maryland, Grosse Pointe Park. The phone number is (313) 824-3511.

God provides the success

This week, we’re driving Hyundai’s up-graded luxury 2014 Equus

Signature sedan, with “Equus” standing for the Latin word horse — base price: $61,000; price as tested: $61,920.

Introduced in 2011 to American markets, Equus extols opulence in a “re-think everything you know about luxury” slogan in hopes of attracting the lux-ury class consumer.

Hyundai is successfully establishing both its core philosophy of lower price cars for buyers of all eco-nomic classes, including the sometimes fi nicky up-per level buyer. To date, Equus is successfully im-pacting the market and looks for future luxury class sales growth.

The Equus exterior is enhanced for 2014, thanks to a new grille and bumper layout, along with the ad-dition HID headlights, LED turn-signal indica-tors, improved fog lights and revised LED tail lamps. Also new for 2014 are BlueLink telematics and blind-spot rear cross-traffi c alert systems. The motif is highlighted by 19-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, making for a luxu-ry and performance state-ment that is both soothing to the eye and exciting when your drive it.

Our Equus had zero op-tions on the window stick-er, meaning when you pay $61K for an Equus, every-thing a luxury consumer demands and then some comes with the deal.

Equus owners will enjoy leather seating, lane depar-

ture warning system, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty, pre-collision warning system, nine air bags, 4-wheel disc ABS traction control brakes, smart cruise control with automatic braking, rear safety back-up camera, wood trim interior, Lexicon 17-speaker 7.1 discrete surround sound DVD/Stereo system with naviga-tion and much more.

Equus now features a larger 5.0 liter, 429 horse V8. An 8-speed automatic replaces the original 6-speed, resulting in 23 miles per gallon highway.

The ride is quiet and sure footed, thanks to an electric air suspension du-

al mode continuous damp-ing control setup that al-lows traction administra-tion via its rear drive setup.

The 5.0 V8 delivers 376 pound-feet of torque, up 43 pound-feet versus the 4.6 engine and is able to motive Equus to 60 mph in less than six seconds.

Important numbers in-clude a wheelbase of 119.9 inches, 16.7 cubic feet of cargo space, 4,553-pound curb weight, 20.3-gallon fuel tank and15 city and 23 highway EPA.

Likes: Power, interior, warranty, looks, amenities.

Dislikes: No all wheel drive, city mpg.

Glen Williams sleeps very well despite a multi-tude of holiday house guests.

Ghosts, pirates, witches with bubbling cauldrons, skeletons rattling chains, mad doctors, screaming prisoners, spiders dan-gling from rafters, Dracula, zombies, rats and just plain creepy characters are gathered in his Grosse Pointe Woods house, garage and yard at 19520 Mack and his parents’ neighboring yard.

For more than 30 years the Grosse Pointe Public Schools elementary phys-ical education teacher has been collecting, deco-rating and, in the past few years, hosting fund-raisers during October in a spirit befitting the month’s major holiday.

“I’m a collector,” he said carrying corn stalks to set beside straw bales in the driveway. “They (Halloween decorations) have become more avail-able. I started purchasing them and it became more of a habit. I have one of a kind animatronics, and a good friend, Gary Lumas, who is a good builder.”

He points to the water wheel, one of the new additions this year.

“Whether we’ll have water is questionable,” said Williams, who esti-mates he and his father each spend more than 400 hours putting the s e a s o n’ s d i s p l a y s together. Beginning in August, Williams has the inside of his 1,300 square foot house completely decorated. While the out-side decorations are set up after school and on w e e k e n d s f r o m September until the last minute before guests arrive. Also just before 300 to 400 guests arrive, Williams takes 45 min-utes to turn on all the lights, sounds, animation motion switches and completes a battery check on all the devices.

Then it’s show time for H a u n t e d G a r a g e Productions, as Williams has dubbed his enter-prise.

He doesn’t do it alone. Williams credits friends Ray and Joan Williams, animatronics builder Lumas, set builder Jim Wieme, ticket takers and

helpers Dawn, Andy and Zachary Magnuson, Liz Fildew, Robby and Jon Whaley and Jacob Malbouef for making the production possible.

This week they are working feverishly for time has arrived for the fundraisers benefitting all the elementary public school PTOs. Ferry and Trombly children were the fi rst group to tour the nearly acre of haunts. Poupard and Mason chil-dren wrap up the month, the early evening of Oct. 27, viewing more than 70 characters in nine differ-ent scenes and being offered cider and freshly-made doughnuts.

Williams said he always liked Halloween and would trick-or-treat with his friends. By the time he was in sixth grade he had grown to more than 6-feet tall and was denied treats because people thought he was older.

“After the fi fth house I went home crying,” he said.

T h a t e x p e r i e n c e resulted in Williams host-

ing Halloween parties for his friends until the guest list topped 100 to 150 guests. More than 40 years later, he is still in the Halloween mood.

As the guests enjoyed the ever-expanding Hal loween scenes , Williams began to won-der what more he could do with his party idea. The Grosse Pointe Public Education Foundation was the fi rst to take him up on a Halloween-themed fundraiser.

“I then decided to do a tour for the Maire chil-dren,” he said. “It raised money for the PTO. For over 30 years I’ve been teaching at Maire; they (the PTO) have been gen-erous to me supplying equipment. This was an easy fundraiser for them. There was not a lot of planning and no money up front. Then two years ago all nine elementaries have been coming.”

Admission is $9. The proceeds are donated to the PTOs.

He emphasizes all actors are sensitive to the children, noting fourth and fifth graders like being scared as do younger children. “This is age appropriate haunt-ing. If they (actors) see a nervous child, they pull their masks off. All the actors are former stu-dents or (their) families. They do a good job see-ing who is nervous,” he said. “We are also putting a blinking light on any child that is nervous this year. Once our ‘entertain-ers’ see this, it becomes a no haunt group.”

Haunting venues have popped up across the metro area and the state. Williams is proud his site is where it is.

“This is family time,” he said. “It’s another fun Grosse Pointe event and (families don’t) have to travel a number of hours and spend a ton of money. We make sure the fami-lies will have a good time. They look forward to it

every year.”And every year,

Williams rearranges, adds and subtracts from the rubber characters

and scenes.Because 2012 October

weather was so bad, the commercial haunting sites did poorly finan-

cially. As a result, Williams was able to pur-

I’m bringing you a special recipe this week called Koulouraki [KOO-LOO-ra-Kia]. A

Grecian butter cookie that traditionally is rolled into logs then into three different shapes (cir-cles, twists and stacked rope) and topped with sesa-me seeds. This not too sweet wafer makes for break-fast fare (or with your afternoon coffee).

Kaulourakia (Greek butter cookies)

1 lb. butter, room temperature1 ½ cups sugar4 eggs2 teaspoons vanilla½ cup Mazola corn oil½ cup orange juice, room temperature7 ½ cups fl our1 tablespoon baking powder4 egg yolks (or more)sesame seeds for garnish

Beat together the butter with the sugar until fl uffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs followed by the va-nilla, corn oil and orange juice.

In another bowl combine the fl our with the baking powder. Working in batches add the fl our mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring well. Turn the dough into an airtight container and chill overnight.

Divide the dough into quarters, working with one at a time (keep the other quarters in the refrigerator un-til ready to roll).

Working on a lightly fl oured surface, cut the dough in half again then cut off a piece at a time.

Roll the dough to create a ½ wide log that’s about 6 inches long. Transfer the log to a greased bake sheet

then form into a circle, twist or stacked rope. (Shaping the cookies was easier on the bake sheet than the rolling surface.)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place the egg yolks in a small bowl and add a small bit of water.

Brush the cookies with the egg yolk then sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

Bake the cookies at 325 degrees for 20 to 25 min-utes. The cookies will be golden on the bottom.

This recipe makes lots and lots of delicious (cake-like) cookies. Over 7 dozen. If making the proper shapes gets to be too much simply bake the dough in 4 inch logs. Great for dunking.

You can purchase these yummy cookies at the Festival of Tables boutique from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 27, at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial.

FOOTBALL

South conquers North, 21-10

By Bob St. JohnSports Editor

University Liggett’s football team welcomed its annual Homecoming in style last weekend, whipping Lutheran Westland 42-20.

“They’re a run-first football team which grinds out possessions,” head coach Dan Cimini said. “We were able to

limit their effectiveness, while our offensive line, for the second straight game, dominated by allowing our offense to run the ball.

“It’s a nice win on Homecoming and guar-anteed us second place in the division. Not bad for such a young team.”

With alumni, faculty and students packing the athletic grounds, the host

Knights put on a show which started with soph-omore Tommy Jackson returning the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown.

Jackson also scored on a 33-yard run in the sec-ond quarter to help the Knights build a 14-0 lead. F r e s h m a n C o n n o r McCarron kicked both extra points.

Lutheran Westland scored right before the fi rst half ended, making it a tight game at the half.

Each team scored a touchdown in the third quarter. The Knights scored on a 70-yard pass from McCarron to wide-open sophomore wide receiver, Nick Gawel. He outran the defensive backs.

The Warriors came right back and used a 13-play, 57-yard drive to score and get within six points, 20-14, with one full quarter left to play.

The Knights put their game into overdrive in the fi nal quarter, scoring three touchdowns.

Senior Darryl Lewis scored on a 3-yard run and added the two-point conversion run, making it 28-14. He scored on the

Knights’ next possession with McCarron’s PAT giv-ing the home team a com-fortable 35-14 advantage.

The final TD was scored on a 25-yard run b y J a c k s o n a n d McCarron’s extra point put the fi nishing touches on the Homecoming game.

Jackson ran for 160 yards on 14 carries with three touchdowns, and Lewis had 31 yards rush-

ing on 11 carries with two touchdowns, plus caught one pass for 12 yards.

McCarron completed 3-of-5 passes for 89 yards with the one TD. Senior Lordanthony Grissom, Gawel and Lewis had the receptions.

With the win, Liggett finished its Michigan Independent Athletic Conference 4-1, second place to 5-0 Southfield Christian. Liggett also

improved to 4-3 overall and now has its sights set on trying to make the state playoffs.

“We have to take it one game at a time and the next one on the schedule is Harper Woods,” Cimini said. “It’s a big game for us and we have to fi nd a way to slow down their explosive offense and continue to do what we have been doing offen-sively.”

Knights win on HomecomingL IGGETT

It was billed as “The Game” and city rivals Grosse Pointe North and host Grosse Pointe South lived up to the hype in last weekend’s division game.

With everything on the line, Grosse Pointe South pulled out a 21-10 win. It is the Blue Devils’ fourth straight win over the Norsemen.

“We had to control the ball and keep it out of their hands because of their explosive offense,” South head coach Tim Brandon said. “We played great defense and were methodical on offense.

“Our kids won this big game and kept on track for achieving our goals of beating North, winning a division title and making the state playoffs.”

Grosse Pointe South improved to 3-1 in the M a c o m b A r e a C o n f e r e n c e B l u e Division, tied with L’Anse Creuse North for the top spot, and 4-3 overall; Grosse Pointe North fell to 2-2 and 4-3.

“Both teams played a good game and I thought we had the momentum at the half after kicking the field goal,” North head coach Frank Sumbera said.

Brad Centala kicked a 34-yard fi eld goal on the last play of the second quarter to give the Norsemen a 10-7 half-time lead.

Each team had a fi rst-quarter touchdown. South scored on an 82-yard pass from quar-terback Richie Kish to wide receiver Jordan Spratt, and North scored on a 74-yard run by quar-terback Dan Robinson.

Both defenses played a strong game and each

benefi ted from quarter-back sacks to keep the game 10-7 after three quarters.

T h e N o r s e m e n’ s defense was stout as they only gave up the one long play. They had momen-tum heading into the fi nal quarter.

The tide turned when the Blue Devils converted a fourth-down fake punt as Sam Blanzy threw a strike to his brother, Brian Blanzy in the fl at. The play covered 19 yards and gave the Blue Devils a fi rst down at the Norsemen 36-yard line.

“We worked on that p lay in pract ice ,” Brandon said. “Sam came in and said No. 42 would either blitz or drop back, leaving the flat open. I picked the right time to use the play and

that was the time.“Sam threw a great

pass to Brian and we fi n-ished off the drive with a score. It was a big play, that is for sure, but our kids still had to executive after that.”

After the successful fake punt, Kish went to work, connecting with wide receiver Tony Moore on a 6-yard gain and with Spratt for another 9-yard gain.

Sam Hunter gained fi ve yards on a run and Kish threw a 7-yard pass to Moore, getting a fi rst-and-goal at the Norsemen 9-yard line.

On the next play, Hunter ran 9 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 8:08 left in the game.

Andrew Fabry kicked the extra point, giving the Blue Devils a 14-10

lead.Tr i s t a n Ru s s a n o

sacked Robinson on a third-down play to force another punt and the Blue Devils used their next possession to ice the game.

Hunter ran 28 yards on fi rst down, getting to the Norsemen 17-yard line, and three plays later the Blue Devils had it on the 3-yard line.

Fullback Ryan Liagre bulldozed through the line to score an insurance touchdown with only 2:55 left. Fabry’s PAT made it 21-10.

Robinson was inter-cepted by defensive back Josh Gray on the ensuing possession, but the Blue Devils were forced to punt with a minute left.

The Norsemen bene-fited from a South 15-yard penalty, but Robinson’s fi nal pass was once again intercepted by Gray to seal the vic-tory.

Kish took a knee on the last play of game and South fans stormed the field, celebrating the

huge victory.Kish played with poise

and finished 7-of-14 passing for 135 yards and one touchdown and one interception, and Hunter did it on the ground, gaining 137 yards on 23 carries with one score.

Spratt had three recep-tions for 101 yards and one touchdown and Moore had four catches for 34 yards.

Sam Blanzy was 1-of-1 for 19 yards and Brian Blanzy had the reception.

The defense limited the Norsemen’s explosive offense to only the one long run by Robinson, who finished 3-of-15 passing for 50 yards and two interceptions and 12 carries for 89 yards with one score.

Tod Long had a couple of big runs early, but the Blue Devils shut him down in the second half and limited him to only 49 yards rushing on 13 carries and two recep-tions for 19 yards.

Lawrence Bryant ran the ball three times for 20 yards.

Both South and North need to win its fi nal two games to automatically qualify for the state play-offs.

South hosts L’Anse Creuse at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18. If the Blue Devils win, they gain at least a share of the MAC Blue Division title and would win it outright if LCN loses to Fraser.

“We know we need two wins to make the play-offs, but our focus is on L’Anse Creuse and trying to win at least a share of the division t i t le,” Brandon said. “This will not be an easy game. L’Anse Creuse will be ready to play.

North hosts Port Huron Northern at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18. It can also gain a share of the title if South and LCN lose, leaving three teams at 3-2 in the MAC Blue.

“We have to focus on Northern and come out ready to play,” Sumbera said “These are tough losses, but we can’t hang our heads because we have a lot to play for.”

LIGGETT

By Bob St. JohnSports Editor

The University Liggett boys’ tennis team won its Division 4 regional tour-nament last week with host Almont taking sec-ond to also qualify for the fi nals.

The Knights finished with a near perfect 23 points and Almont had 12. Sandusky was third with 10 points to also make the fi nals.

Flint Powers was fourth with six points, followed by Algonac with two, Imlay City with two, Burton-Atherton with one and Mount Morris with zero.

Head coach Drew Mascarin guided his Knights through a tough schedule and wanted his players to be at their best at the end of the regular season.

“I like the way the guys are playing as we head into the regionals,” Mascarin said earlier in the week. “We are ready to go.”

Mascarin was right as the Knights won seven fl ights and fi nished sec-

ond in the other to domi-nate the regional tournament featuring Almont , Sandusky, A l g o n a c , B u r t o n -Atherton, Clawson, Flint Powers Catholic, Imlay City and Mount Morris.

At No. 1 singles, T.J. Dulac beat Almont’s Mitchel Bulger in the title match 6-1, 6-2, and Patrick Diaz lost his No. 2 singles championship match to Sandusky’s Tyler Wedge.

Steven Kneiser won the No. 3 singles flight, defeating Sandusky’s Trevor Wedge 6-2, 6-3 in the title match, and at No. 4 singles, Jeffrey Shell won with a win over Almont’s Ben Wright 6-4, 6-1.

The Knights’ No. 1 dou-bles team of James Jurcak and Neil Sekhon won the title, and the No. 2 doubles squad of Alan Jurcak and August Bonacci took care of business, winning the championship match.

James Jurcak and Neil Sekhon won 6-3, 6-1 over Sandusky, and Alan Jurcak and Bonacci crushed their Flint

Powers foe 6-0, 6-0.Almont and Liggett

squared off in the fi nals at No. 3 and No. 4 dou-bles with the Knights capturing both titles.

Jack Ninivaggi and Alex Dow beat Brendan Ecker and James Mitchell 6-2, 6-1 at No. 3, and at No. 4 it was Jackson Benning and Davey S e k h o n d e f e a t i n g Brandon Herman and Tyler Stryker, 6-0, 6-0.

Coming up for Liggett is the Division 4 state fi nals tournament Friday,

Oct. 18, and Saturday, Oct. 19, at two sites, Grand Blanc and Holly high schools.

It will be a battle of No. 1 ranked Ann Arbor Greenhills, which won all eight fl ights in its regional tournament, and Liggett. Greenhills has won the last fi ve state champion-ships and six of the past seven.

The teams met a few w e e k s a g o w i t h Greenhills winning. However, the matches were close.

GROSSE POINTE NORTH

By Bob St. JohnSports Editor

The Grosse Pointe North boys’ tennis team made it to the state fi nals after placing second in last weekend’s Division 2 regional tournament at Lakefront Park.

“We made our goal, which was to make it back to the state fi nals,” head coach John VanAlst said. “I thought the guys played some great tennis, but in the end U-D was better than we were today.

“They’re a good team, but now we have to focus on practicing hard to pre-pare for the state fi nals.”

U-D Jesuit, ranked No. 3 in Division 2, won the

title with 23 points, with Grosse Pointe North earning 17.

St . Clair Shores Lakeview was a distant third with six points, fol-lowed by Port Huron with five, Eastpointe East Detroit with two, Warren Woods-Tower with two and Sterling Heights with one.

The highlight for the Norsemen was the No. 1 doubles team of Connor O l z e m a n d N i c k Cusmano. The duo won the regional champion-ship, beating U-D 6-4, 4-6, 6-1.

The No. 2 doubles team of Mitchell Zacharias and Josh Champney played well, but lost to U-D in the fi nals 6-4, 4-6, 6-2.

The top two teams automatically advanced to the fi nals as Troy won the regional with 28 points and host South was second with 24.

Troy Athens also made it, earning more than the qualifying number of 18 as it ended up with 20.

“The boys did an excel-lent job today and won the matches they were supposed to win and sur-prised some people in a couple of others,” head coach John Willard said.

The Blue Devils had

two flight champions and four runner-ups.

Patrick Willard pulled off a stunning upset as he beat Troy’s Tarun Kalyanaraman 4-6, 7-6, 7-5 in the No. 3 singles championship match. The freshman stayed focused after dropping the fi rst set and never got rattled against the favored Kalyanaraman.

The other champion was the No. 1 doubles team of Victor Flynn and Will Norris. They beat their Troy foes 6-2, 7-5 in the title match.

Nick Paolucci made the fi nals at No. 1 singles before losing 6-3, 6-0 to Athens’ Richard Zang.

Blue Devils drop tough one to DLSBy Bob St. JohnSports Editor

The Grosse Pointe South boys’ soccer team was up against a state juggernaut in its Division 1 district first-round game Monday afternoon, Warren DeLaSalle.

The Pilots entered the game with five state championships under their belt and looking for-ward to a district semifi -nal game two days later against unbeaten Fraser.

However, South head coach Stefan Harris and his players watched game film of the Pilots and practiced a game plan to upset the favored Catholic League foe.

The game plan nearly worked, but in the end South lost 1-0 on a goal scored with 22:05 left in the second half.

In the fi nal 40 seconds,

the Blue Devils had a solid scoring chance, but the ball never made it over the goal line.

“I’m so proud of my players,” Harris said. “We had to play above our best game to win and we almost pulled it out. I know DeLaSalle was looking past us, but we still played hard and played a great game.

“Our seniors laid a solid foundation for this program and now it’s up to the returning players to start working hard to keep it going.”

South fi nished the sea-son 7-8-3 overall.

Knights get lethargicBy Bob St. JohnSports Editor

The University Liggett boys’ soccer team limped to the finish line in its division slate last week.

The Knights, playing three games in a fi ve-day period for the second straight week, finished 0-2-1.

They opened the week with a 2-2 tie with Plymouth Christian, and followed with a 2-1 loss to Southfield Christian and 2-0 loss to Auburn Hills Oakland Christian.

“That game with Allen Park Inter-City Baptist took a lot out of us and it was evident with our play this week,” head coach David Backhurst said. “We didn’t have the energy we needed to win these games.”

In the tie with Plymouth Christian, Warren Purvin scored an unassisted goal to give the Knights a

1-0 lead.With only six minutes

left in regulation, PC scored to send the game to overtime. PC scored the fi rst goal in overtime, but Adante Provenzano tallied later in the extra session to leave it a 2-2 tie.

Provenzano scored on a penalty kick to give the host Knights a 1-0 lead over Southfi eld Christian. However, it went down-hill from that point and the Knights couldn’t sus-tain any momentum in the 2-1 defeat.

The lack of momentum carried over to the Oakland Christian game. I t w a s L i g g e t t ’ s Homecoming, but OC didn’t care as it took the play right at the host Knights.

Liggett ended its regu-lar season 8-5-1 in the Michigan Independent Athletic Conference and 11-6-1 overall.

Hall of Fame inducteesUniversity Liggett

School inducted fi ve peo-ple who made Liggett athletics great over the past century into the school’s Alumni Athletics Hall of Fame. The Alumni Athletics Hall of Fame was created in 2011 to commemorate the long, winning history of athlet-ics at University Liggett School and its predeces-sor schools, and the peo-ple who wrote that story. This year’s inductees include four athletes whose graduation years range from 1906 to 1997 and a beloved former faculty member.

Inducted this year were:

David Rentschler

Rentschler was on the varsity baseball, basket-ball, football and track teams all four years of Upper School. He was president of the Athletic Council and held the H e a d m a s t e r s Scholarship. After gradu-ation he played football for the University of Michigan where he was second string to the great Ron Kramer.

Gene OvertonOverton worked at

University Liggett School for 37 years and during that time he was a tire-less supporter of Liggett athletics. In addition to work in the classroom, he worked 36 of his 37 years teaching as the scoreboard official for both boys and girls home and away games. He was also a starter for the track team. He also recorded University

Liggett School’s wres-tling meets, basketball and girls softball games. He traveled on numerous occasions with the teams to spring training and games in Florida, as well. Overton has continued to fi lm games even after his retirement and filmed this year’s Final Four in Battle Creek and the all-star game.

George PerrinPerrin was on the var-

sity football, basketball and baseball teams at GPUS. He was the school’s starting quarter-back for three years, and led the team to break nine school records. He alone set three school records in football. Perrin was the MVP of the Maumee Valley Invitational Tournament for three years. In bas-ketball, he set the school record for most points scored in a single game (40 points). He also led the GPUS baseball team his senior year with a .405 batting average.

John Neil Patterson

Patterson was a track and field athlete at Det ro i t Un ivers i ty School. Some of his times/marks bettered the winning times in the

1906 Olympics, an event he was not allowed to participate in because of his young age. It wasn’t until 1908 he met the United States age requirement and became, at the time, the youngest Olympian from the United States. He has held numerous Liggett school records since 1904, and set the still-standing Liggett high jump record in 1906. He held state and national records in the hurdles and is still No. 2 on the Liggett Top 10 high hur-dle rankings, even though the hurdle height was 42” tall until 1934 and today it is only 36”. He participated in four of DUS’s five consecutive state Class A champion-ship teams. Patterson is the only high school ath-lete to win an event at the prestigious Penn Relays, which today is still the most famous amateur

track event in the world.

Laura Khelokian

Byron played varsity fi eld hockey, volleyball, lacrosse and soccer at Un ivers i ty L igge t t School. She was captain of the fi eld hockey team her junior and senior year, and was named top scorer and MVP her sophomore year. For vol-leyball, Byron received honorable mention by MIAC her senior year. She was the leading scorer on the soccer team her freshman and sopho-more year, and team cap-tain her senior year.

Byron played varsity field hockey all four years at Dartmouth College. She was team captain her junior and senior year, and held records for most goals in a season and most goals in a career.

Don’t look now, but the University Liggett girls’ volleyball team has its “A” game.

The Knights played well on the road earlier last week, beating Southfi eld Christian, and returned home two nights later and crushed Sterling Heights Parkway Christian 25-16, 25-23, 25-19.

Head coach Joe LaMagno said his team could get on a roll if they focused and that is exactly what the girls did on the court.

Everyone chipped in during the easy win in game one. Junior Olivia Wujek was a hitting machine, collecting sev-eral kills. Junior Courtney deRuiter dished out the assists and the Knights had good outings from juniors Carina Ghafari, Zarine Minwalla and Kacie Wuthrich; senior Natalie Caramagno; and sophomores Emi ly Kanakry and Nycki Eschenburg.

Game two was nip-and-tuck throughout with each team taking a

multi-point lead until late in the game.

It was tied at 22 and 23 before the Knights scored the fi nal two points with Kanakry ending the game with a kill.

In game three, Wujek and Kanakry posted a potent duo at the net. They were an offensive m a c h i n e Pa r k w a y Christian couldn’t stop.

Minwalla served sev-eral points to get the Knights back in the game and when it counted the most, Wujek and Kanakry went to work. Senior

Sarah Edmonds and junior Jacqueline Kopicki played well in the back row, and Caramagno had a couple of good serve receives to keep the Knights in the game.

LaMagno said the Knights still had a shot to win a division title if they stay on course, which they have during their three-game winning streak.

L a s t w e e k , t h e Norsemen blasted Port Huron Northern 25-16, 25-19, 25-18, and Fraser 25-16, 30-28, 25-15.

“The girls played two great matches this week and this is the effort I expect from here on out,” head coach Kim Lockhart said. “The girls were focused in both matches and did the little things it took to win.”

On the road against Northern, junior Christa Raicevich had 15 kills

and three aces to lead the Norsemen.

Other offensive leaders were senior Caitlin Gaitley with eight kills, junior Maddy Bessert with seven and sopho-more Erin Armbruster with seven.

Defensively, junior Vita Aluia had 24 digs, fol-lowed by Raicevich with 16 and senior Colleen Reveley with 11. Reveley also had three aces and 33 assists.

The host Norsemen repeated the three-game sweep against Fraser. It’s the second time this sea-son North took three straight games from the Ramblers.

“We really played the fi rst and third game, but Fraser was on its game in the second game,”

Lockhart said. “Our girls were blocking everything in the second game and I could see our girls hitting the ball hard tonight. They had some nice kills.”

Raicevich once again led the hitting, collecting 22 kills. She was followed by Bessert with eight kills and Armbruster with seven.

Gaitley had an all-around solid game, with six kills, four digs, three assists and two aces.

Junior Katie Roy had 16 digs and junior Kelsey Parafi n had nine. Reveley had eight digs to go along with 24 assists.

Blue Devils splitBy Fletcher SharpeSpecial Writer

The Blue Devils of Grosse Pointe South rebounded from a tough loss against Romeo with a dominant straight set victory over Henry Ford II, 26-24, 25-17, 25-18.

Head coach Kevin Nugent was pleased with his team’s effort, “I was worried about our focus, with the loss at Romeo, and this week being “North vs. South” week, but we managed to get through it.

“Henry Ford is always competitive, but this match wasn’t always pretty.”

Nugent’s comments refer to the fi rst and last sets where the Blue Devils looked a little out of sorts.

Ford jumped out to a 7-6 lead over South until senior Hannah Adams’ received the ball to serve. The Blue Devils scored five straight points, including two service aces by Adams.

South later scored an emphatic kill when junior Carina Bertakis found senior Grace Metry who sent a vicious spike into Ford’s zone.

Ford did lead a come back however, tying the set at 22 all, and then 23 all, before South scored three out of four points to take the fi rst stanza.

Coach Nugent did something a little differ-ent this match, as he inserted some of his younger players into the match, and they began to spark the Blue Devils offense and defense.

Sophomore Kayl i Johnson lead the team in digs with 12, and fresh-man Lexi Kohut lead the team in kills with 15, and blocks with 10, for a dou-ble-double.

Nugent was pleased, “ F r e s h m a n E m m a (Andreasen) was great in service, and Lexi bailed us out a lot. (Senior) Katie Murphy was also great, hitting very well. The exchange between Paige and Lexi was great...they did a lot to shut down the other hit-ters.

The game wasn’t entirely peachy, however, as the Blue Devils came out fl at their last set, get-ting down 11-4 to Ford, behind too many errors.

Grosse Pointe South is 5-1 in the MAC White Division and 21-10-3.

Blue Devils beat MAC foe Mott

The Grosse Pointe South girls’ cross coun-try team raced to a per-fect shutout score (15-50) over MAC rival Warren Mott early last week.

The win earned the Blue Devils a fi nal dual meet mark of 15-0 and a six-year streak of unde-feated seasons.

With the MAC Red Division championship in hand, the Blue Devils now focus on the MAC Championships (racing all 35 MAC schools from all four divisions) and the upcoming (Oct. 25) state regional. Both meets are held at Metro Beach.

Against Mott, South runners took the fi rst 8 positions (a perfect score is when the first seven spots are taken).

South was led by the first place tie of Kelsie Schwartz and Ersula Farrow, posting a time of 20:24.

“Our top eight girls ran a very strategic race and followed our plan well,” head coach Steve Zaranek said. “All eight stayed together and pushed one another until the 2.5 mile mark. They were then on their own to fi nish strong. All eight were very successful.”

Also running under 21 minutes were Alexa Calas, Anna Piccione, Mary Spencer, Megan Sklarski, Sarah O’Neill and Kamryn Leonard.

“We were hoping for a

gap of no more than 30 seconds between our top girls,” Zaranek said. “We were very pleased with our 29 second gap.

“Our practices have been going very well and we are focused on a strong October finish. The MAC Championships will provide an excellent tune-up for the state regional over the next two weeks.

“Our varsity wants to be on the starting line at the state fi nals in early November. I am very confi dent our entire team is ready to race at the highest level and also

achieve personal suc-cess.”

Many South runners raced to season-best times against Mott and included Katie Kuhr, M e g a n D z i e d z i c , Caroline Forster, Lizzy L a n g e n b u r g , E r y n VanDerHoeven, Christy Finkenstaedt, Rachel Martinez, Elise Koelsch, Carmella Goree, Mary Panagos, Vicky Beacham, E l i zabe th Bara t ta , Margaret Sohn, Olivia Baratta, Gretchen Cozad, Alessandra Lai, Gracie Pe l l e g r i n o, J i l l i a n Kouayara and Ashley Nihem.

South Red Barons victorious

The Grosse Pointe South Red Barons defeated the Sterling Heights Mustangs 30-16 last weekend.

The Red Barons opened the game with a 65-yard scoring drive, with multitalented utility back Jhordan Rush car-rying most of the load. Quarterback Davis Graham completed the drive with a 14-yard pass to Brett Thalgott and an 18-yard scoring strike to Rush.

On the fi rst play after the Barons score, Rush defl ected a pass that was intercepted and returned 40 yards by linebacker Wally Kinni-Adebayo.

The offensive line, comprised of tight ends Brennan Zihlman and Armani Williams, as well as interior players Max Cervantes, Evan Bolles, A n t h o n y R a m s e y, Lawson Wohlfarth and Truman McKay, spear-headed both of the Baron’s fi rst half scoring drives.

Running back Darrick Hollowell ran for 15 yards and covered the final 10 yards with a scoring pass to Rush.

The Barons stumbled to open the second half, giving up a series of scrambles by the Mustangs’ outstanding quarterback, culminat-

ing in a score. However, the Barons

offense countered with a third long drive of their own behind the strong run blocking of Ed Kotula, Miles Dearing, Tanner Belanger, Parker McKowen, Lawrence Peavy, Presley Kaleta, Grayson Kennedy and Davon Gaines.

Rush opened the drive with runs of 7, 13, 15 and 8 yards. Hollowell con-nected with Thalgott for an 11-yard pass and Rush took it the fi nal 10 yards for the touchdown.

Two plays later the Mustangs broke a 60-yard scoring run to pull within eight points, 24-16.

But the Baron defense, led by linebackers Cam Sparkman (13 tackles), Max Stricker and Kinni-Adebayo, shut the door on the Mustangs offense in the fi nal stanza.

Defensive backs Joey D i M a m a b r o, J a c k Ratsek, Rush and Hollowell played shut down pass coverage, and quarterback Graham ran for more than 60 yards and a touchdown in the fi nal quarter.

Kicker Cam Shook added 6 points to the Baron’s margin of vic-tory.

The Red Barons play this weekend.

Final 4Members of the Grosse Pointe South girls’ varsity lacrosse team participated in the Brighton Fall Lacrosse Festival Sunday, Oct. 6. The girls made it to the fi nal four in the U17 Varsity High School bracket, which con-sisted of 18 teams. They won four games by scoring more than 50 goals before losing in the semifi nals to Pure Advantage (a travel team out of Grand Rapids). Pictured above are, standing from left, Emma Baer, Ryley Kerik, Elizabeth Rauh, Molly Paddock, Claire Fisher, Renee Soulliere, Shannon Novak and Mia Doyon; and kneeling from left, Tara McClanaghan, Bridgette Champane, Margaret Brennan and Mary Reiber.

FROM THE SPORTS DESK

Verlander: the Tigers’ aceUp until the playoffs,

the question of “What’s wrong with Justin Ver lander?” has appeared often this sea-son, in newspapers, on websites, on talk radio and television, and in daily conversations between fans.

After two dominating years, the Tigers’ ace pitcher had a sub-par regular season, with a record of 13-12 and an ERA greater than 3.5. No consensus has been reached for his drop in performance, with most explanations involving fatigue or advancing age – Verlander turned 30 in May.

But is this fair? It is not unusual for players in any sport to have a down year where certain breaks go against them and they just don’t per-form as well, and in many cases the players return to form the following year.

Verlander might simply not be pitching enough. With a 5-man rotation, the standard for Major League teams of this era, Verlander and every other pitcher are barely getting 33 or 34 starts in a year. All starting pitch-ers are on a 5-day rota-t ion , o f ten t imes described as pitching “on four days rest.”

But off-days, travel days, and rain-outs result in almost half their games being pitched on five days rest – that is, they are starting a large num-ber of games every six days instead of fi ve. One might think more rest is better.

Practically, this is rarely the case. If a pitcher is ready to pitch on one day, waiting another day is not neces-sarily going to make him better, and an altered routine could, in theory, have the opposite effect on some athletes.

So let ’s look at Verlander’s starts this year and ask if he pitches differently on four days of rest compared to fi ve days rest. In 2013, he has started 34 games (count-ing his “relief” appear-ance in the last game).

Taking out opening day, which did not involve a regular season between-

games rest session, he started 33 games. Eighteen of these were on four days rest, and 15 were on five days rest. His record on a four days of rest was 6-7, and his record on fi ve days rest of 6-5. So it’s the same, right?

Not so fast. His ERA on four days of rest was 3.16, and his ERA on fi ve days of rest was 4.00, a difference of 84 ERA points, a little less than one run per game.

He therefore pitched much better on four days of rest than fi ve. Even the won-lost record is deceiv-ing because on four days of rest Verlander had fi ve no-decisions, and in three of those gave up no earned runs, only to leave the game without a lead, or with a lead the relief pitchers gave up.

He also had three wins involving 7-inning stints in which he shut out the other team. So in a third of his 18 games started on four days of rest, he gave up no earned runs. Pitching on fi ve days of rest, Verlander gave up at least one earned run in 14

out of 15 appearances.Looking only at the

games Verlander started on four days of rest, 2013 has not been that bad. He pitched shutout ball in 6-of-18 games, but won only three of them. He lost 5 other games in which he gave up three runs or less.

With reasonable run support and relief pitch-ing, he could have easily had 10-12 wins in those 18 starts. His record in games pl

ayed on five days of rest, on the other hand, is not very impressive, as the 4.00 ERA would indi-cate. Despite winning 6 of those 14 games, he did not shut the other team out until the last game of the season, and he gave up 4 or more runs 5 times.

Is it possible Verlander is not pitching enough, that his physical and mental make up allow him to perform better on less rest than on more?

So both he and the Tigers are aware of this difference, and choose to keep pitching him fre-quently on fi ve days rest regardless. But looking at

this table, I would imag-ine that Tigers opponents might prefer to face a very well rested Justin Verlander.

And FYI, in his game 5 masterpiece against the A’s, he was pitching on regular four-days rest.
