"Obviously, we want the study
to be completed as soon as possible," said Turek, *^%ut it could be
six months to a year."
If relocation is the answer, students a n d staff would not be
moved for another five^years or
so. Then they would move into a
newly-constructed facility. The
potential city or township is
unknown at t^his point.
If you pay attention to wore] of
mouth, however, the new site
would be northwest of Redford,
possibly in Novi or Hdwell.
"We g e t asked about t h a t
rumor all the time," Turek joked.
"But the city that we are.supposedly moving to is different all the
time."
Turek h a s already spoken" to
many p a r e n t s who inquired
about a move from the building

"I've been telling parents the

Turekr/*If we do move, it
wouldn't be for five years. We're
not just going to pack up and

There are a number of issues
which would need to be dealt
with prior to any potential move
"- housing for the priests who
teach, potential uses for the 18
acres of property currently used
by CC, transportation and more,
"This would be a huge development for Catho|ic .Central," said
Turek, suggesting it's not something administrators would do"
without considering "the Whole

Today, the majority of CC students travel from Livonia, but a

Rep. Thomas H, Kelly, DWayne, announced Wednesday
he is seeking his party's nomination in the Aug. 8 primary, while
County Commissioner Edna
Bell, D-Detroit, told fellow commission member^, on Thursday
she'U do the same shortly.
Commissioner John J. Sullivan,
D-Romulus, >vho serves'on Bell's
public safety and judiciary committee, said Thursday she
announced at that meeting that it
was her last "and that she will
resign next week from the commission to focue on her campaign."
Youngblood, who has served as
registrar for 28 years, said Friday he will remain in office until
December, when his term ends contrary to a rumor t h a t he
would retire earJy, with Bell
Rep. Thorn** Ketty
being appointed to complete his
term and then run for election as
the incumbent.
"I'm not resigning until the
end 'of my term',", Youngblood
said. 'They'll have to fun for it.'*.*
Bell could not be reached for
comment..
- Youngbiood, noting at least
four candidates ran against him
in 1996, said he expects a large
field again.
A Wayne County sheriffs
deputy 23 years, Youngblood
was elected registrar in 1972k
.succeeding his father, Barney,
who held the office since 1941.
' Kelly, a former Wayne city
councilman who is being termlimited from office in Lansing
after serving six years as state
representative, praised his erstwhile primary opponent.
"We've known each other quite
a while," he said of Bell, describing her as "very, very competent
and a viable candidate for the
position.
"But I wish she would stay in
her position as county commissioner," he said half-jokingly.
Kelly said h e ^ e l i e v e s his
"experience and knowledge of
local, county arid state government* qualify him to succeed
Youngblood. . .
"I hope to augment-the excel-
lent service previously provided
by Mr. Youngblood a* well as to
continue to improve the office for
today's technology," he said.
Seven y e a n
j Youngblood said his office has
worked the past nearly seven
years to scan its 30 million
records into computer files.
"We're still a little bit behind, but
we hope to catch up in two to
three month*,* the registrar said.
Kelly told the Observer on
Thursday if Youngblood werejft
resigning, "1 would not. be running. I respect him very much."
He praised Youngblood for his
51 yifarj* of service to the county,
saying the latter "has done a
great job."
"He's a heck of a nice man,
Very competent," Kelly added.
. Kelly, whose 17th District seat
represents Wayn«, Westland,
Garden City and Inkster, was
elected representative in 1994.

In addition to coordinating and
directing the choir for the Pra'yer
Breakfast, Smith is busy getting
ready for the Easter production at
WardI Presbyterian, where he h a s
been minister of music for the last 27
yeara And that% ho easy task. But
Smith's hard work is what makes
being a musician at Ward Presbyterian rewarding.
Even though Smith jokes it seems
like * hundred years since he : a been
. minister of music at the church, don't
let that fool you. Deep dow> inside, he
love* directing the churchy 200-voica
choir, 38 piece orchestra, 70-yoice
youth choir that tour* the country
every year, two wemeh's choirs, a
male choir, brass ensemble, flute
choir, and handball ringers Last year,
he was able to tout .Switzerland and
England with 60 members of t h e 200vok* choir. This year they'll stay relatively close to home when they sing in
Canada Next year, they're; off to
France. In between his duties a t the
church, Smith continues to practice
his other love - teaching. He instructs
student* jfi the fine points of music
theory as well as chairs t h e music
department at William Tyndale College in Farmington Hills.

Ongoing demonstrations by
Patterson (1-5 p.m. Saturday),
Gerard Panyard, Leon Schoichit
and Elbert Weber (l-o p.m. Sunday) will allow an up-close look
at the process that goea-into creating a work. A member of the
club since 1984, Weber will' show
"semi-abstract and realistic,

it's a Ritter. Unlike bronzes
viewed from the exterior, Ritter's
sculpture lures viewers into the
heart of the piece with imagery.
Ritter began layering crystal
"to incorporate murrini in sculpture after the vessel form left
him cold. A time-consuming process, murrini is formed by stacking colored glass canes into a distinctive pattern inside a ceramic
ring which is later sliced like a
cookie. The family portrait of his
mother, father and sister on a
1976 vessel took dozens of hours
to complete.
"What a t t r a c t e d me to the
murrvrrfis that I can .do these
images that I can't do any other
way," said Ritter. "The technique
for murrini or cane imagery goes
back to Egyptian times."
Murrini, popularized by 19th
century Italian glass artists such,
as Franchini, came naturally to
Ritter since he began his career
as a graphic illustrator for a
Detroit advertising firm. Those
six years and several painting
and sculpture classes at CCS
prepared Ritter to turn hot glass
into fine art. Eventually, Ritter :
would leave Michigan to take a
class' with Mark Peiser at Penland School of Crafts in North
Carolina. After studying^with
Peiser and Richard Marquis, Ritter became *a.rtist-ln-residence
for the next seven years! He's
continued to teach glass at Penland since 1972, :
. "Since Miked pattern and line,
it lent itself to that medium,"
said Ritter. "Initially I was decorating the exteriors with murrini
and felt like I was putting cookies on the side of vessels. While
t h e pieces take.one day, t h e
imagery takes over a month.
Sometimes they're very personal
images! Others are caricatures."

Learning from each other
Founded in I960 by Olive Harrington, the Livonia Artists Club
meets at 7:30 p.m. on the third
Monday of the month in Room C
of the Livonia Civic Center
Library. For more •information,

Saturday, April 8, Ritter will be
at the opening of the 28th International Glass Invitational a t
Habatat Galleries' in Bontiac.
That show will f e a t u r e work
from his newest series.
"Glass is "such'-a. seductive
material," said Ritter in an
interview from his studio in
North Carolina. "Glass is a liquid and flowing. I like that idea.
T think of it as doing a painting."
While Ritter developed, an
interest in glass while teaching
metaUworking and advertising,
design at Center for Creative
Studies, it was the three years
he spent founding t h e glass
blowing program at the Bloomfield Art Association (now the
Birmingham Bloomfield Art
Center) t h a t allowed him to
learn the finer points of creating
works from ho t gl ass;'At. "the
time, he was living in Birming;
'ha^m and teaching metal-'
.smithing at the BBAC, where he
served as artist-in-residence
from 196&1972.:". :
Reflections
"Back then there were only a
handful of us working in glass,"
-said Ritter "Society of Arts St
Crafts was the first school in
Michigan to start a program.; We
were t h e second. Initially, I
wanted to combine glass with
jewelry."
'•
Before long. Ritter was not only
making his own glass and color
.(•something he learned at Society
of Arts & Crafts) but developing
the style for which he's become
known.
Murrini sprinkled
throughout the interior signify
New works
Among tfie newest works'are
the Mandala bowlform. Rkter
suspends lyrical strokes of green,
yellow, "white and red within the
blown vessel. A 1983 pocket vessel with simple interior of
swirling brown canes is engulfed
in translucent topaz glass. A
black and white sandblasted vessel lent by Sosiri is dramatic.
Etching and electroforming copper onto the surfaces-of some of
the newer pieces adds another
dimension to the work, which
curator Marks has followed for
some time! Marks was responsible for ciirating a 20-year retro-
spective of the glass artist's work
10 years ago at the University of
Michigan-Dearborn. He's not
surprised that Center for Creative Studies is bestowing an
honorary doctoral degree upon
the artist in May.
"Ritter creates entire worlds
within glass," said Marks. "His
woskipeks like a painting. I like
the-paihterliness arid the color.'
But what fascinates me is how
were these done x. how did he do
that?" :.
Don Miller agrees the process
is fascinating. A beadmaking
instructor at 0-M Dearborn^
Miller took a workshop with Ritter at Penland..
"
•
"It's an. interesting process to
watch," said Miller, a Livonia
resident. "Richard's work is technically intricate."

Before t h e s t o r y c o n c l u d e s ,
Richard and Theresa venture to
Mexico — which may, on the face
of it, seem a little j a r r i n g in a
narrative so firmly rooted in its
Michigan locale. Zadoorian
somehow manages to make, t h e
segment fit in comfortably with
the, rest of the story, however.
And his depiction of a Mexican
community comsnemorating t h e
Days of t h e Dead is one of t h e
most vivid and alive depictions
o f . t h i s e v e n t I've e v e r come
across. We can practically smell

• Theresa, we will presently discover, deals in cast;offs of another kind. .
She works at the Detroit AntiCruelty Shelter, where she
spends most of her days administering the necessary lethal
injections to unwanted animals.

imagine, could get te you after
awhile,, s h o u l d you h a p p e n t o

a n d T h e r e s a possesses'^much
more t h a n a modicum. By the
time we (and Richard) meet her,
t h e job is g e t t i n g to this " g o n e
chick" in a big way.
Though the romance of the two
j u n k e r s is a t the center of "Second Hand," it's by no means the
whole story, however.
Richard h a s recently lost h i s .
h a r d - w o r k i n g f a t h e r ! ah.d i s
about to lose his mother to cancer. Having few clues as to how
to come t o t e r m s w i t h e i t h e r
event, he seeks a kind of refuge
in t h e d e t r i t u s of his p a r e n t s '
lives. Looking through some of
the "junk" they leave behind in
t h e b a s e m e n t of t h e f a m i l y
home, h e one day makes a surprising discovery that will reveal
something about them and him?
self a s w e l l . T h e e x p e r i e n c e
could be likened to his observations of the estate sales h e frequently attends: "Life and death
were acted out, but you missed
the show and now you're backstage, going through t h e props,
trying to figure out if the production was 'Hamlet' or 'Under the
Yum-YumTree'."

A r e a r e a d e r s -will p r o b a b l y
especially enjoy accompanying
Richard as h e cruises older

Raincoat quest
.After rummaging through the racks
of off-price stores, specialty shops and
department stores to compare prices,
take notes on color and the latest in
waterproof fabrics, I discovered that
'.raincoats all over town, including
those with reasonable price points,
have been made over for the season.
I also tried on different designs,
including A-line cuts and singlebreasted.and double-breasted versions. I realized, if I wanted a vent in
the back or a clean straight line, finding the right rain coat could be hard to
do.
After all, a coat like this needs to
serve many purposes: fit over our
sleek work suits, be practical enough
to survive dashing through puddles
and getting in and out cars and work
with our weekend routine.
Y
(Some styles that dropped past the
knee were stiff and unyielding. I suggest seeking out a nearby chair when_
trying them on.)
Overall, though, Fd have to say area
department stores had the best selection. Saks Fifth Avenue, in particular,
had an« excellent assortment, including one of my favorites, a DKNY
water-repellent, denim trench with

The lustrous gray-colored pearl, in Wachler's ring

faceted, an innovation that adds to the piece's

Eye of the beholder
Not to mention, jewelry's merit is literally reflected in the eye of the beholder, says Wachler.
"Jewelry doesn't have to be beautiful, he explains.
"It just has to pique somebody's interest."
It;can be simple or gaudy, traditional or modern,
or something in between, as long as it suits the
.wearer and his or her lifestyle.
True, jewelry is a matter of aesthetics. But ultimately, it's about purpose and whether someone
will wear and cherish it as a reflection of self, says
Wachler.
Take, for instance, the jewelry that bedecked Hollywood's actresses last week at the Academy
Awards. "It was pretty showy, but it wasn't anymore
showy than the clothing." In other words, all those
flashy jewels suited both the occasion and^the
lifestyle of the wearers. ,
Wachler, of course, tries to be neutral about aesthetics. However, Wachler's own je.weiry - a platinum and.gold ring that pays homage to graffiti and
bears his initials - might be a clue.
On the other hand, Wachler once created an exhibition piece called "Eye of the Beholder," It was a
jeweled mirror trimmed in pearis and diamonds,
"In a way, it was almost a statement on jewelry
itself, In that, it is in the eye of the beholder."

O
ver the last few years, more .
Napa Valley wine brands have
been launched.
..
•
Several are products from vineyard
owners who originally sold grapes.
Considering escalating wine sales,
they couldn't resist the temptation to.
have a brand of their own.
•In many cases, such inaugurals
have brought the market high-priced
wines with little track record. However, this isn't the case with M.
Trinchero (pronounced Trin-care-oh),
Sutter Home's new wine brand, a
tribute to its founder, Mario
Trinchero.
Hearing the story from current generation owners Bob and Roger.
*
Trinchero and winemaker Derek Holstein, we sensed a serious dedication
to grape growing and winemaking,
not just as a business, but as a wholesome way of life - o n e with hardships,
where hard work ultimately paid off.
With all that's new in wine country
today, when one visits modern St/
Helena in the Napa Valley, stories of
its heritage are often missed. We
think this is one you should know.
HECOOKED FOR5 PRESIDENTS
A
President Lyndon B. Johnson .
grabbed strings off the pole beans
on his plate a n d gave them to
Henry Haller, White House executive chef
"If you can't take off the strings, then
don't serve them to me," snapped Johnson in his typical T e x a s •style'1 manner
- direct and on the spot.
'
About J5 years later, Nancy Reagan instructed .Haller to prepare
low-calorie, low-cholesterol meals,
and limited her husband to only
one egg a week; Haller admitted
. sometitjies the pastry chef
"cheated a little.bit" to create
' dessert for the president!
• "Sometimes Mrs. Reagan would
go visit her mother in Phoenix, and. .
the president and I would have a good
time," said Haller.
•With such aneedptes, you might say
Haller cooked on the front burner of
history.
Haller recently appeared at a Town
Hall lecture series in Livonia and
talked about his nearly 22 years as the
White House executive chef for five different presidents, from Johnson to
Ronald Reagan, and their families,
with tastes as varied as their political
dynamics, ranging from simple, Mid-'
western and Southern styled to California. . • ' . ' . - . ' . '
In fact, Haller occupied the kitchen
at the White House nearly three times
longer than Reagan, the longest serving president out of the five.
From 1,965 to 1987, Haller prepared
hundreds of dinners for heads of state
- trom peace talKs at Camp David ana .
the Statue of Liberty centennial to a" •
homecoming for soldiers who fought in
Vietnam and the bicentennial celebration.
It was only fitting tha't Haller visit
Livonia during a presidentialelection
year. Proceeds from the lecture series
are donated to the Livonia Symphony
Society and the Livonia Community
Foundation.
Winery revived
Born over 100 years ago in Italy's
Piedmont,, Mario Trinchero emigrated
in the 1920s and made his.first home
in New York. To join his brother in
joint winery partnership in 1948,
Mario trekked his wife and three children across the U.S. to the then small
town of St. Helena in the Napa VaK
.• ley.
"My mother started crying when
she saw the beat-up old barn t h a t had
been dormant for- 30 years," recalled
Bob Trinchero. "It was covered with
weeds; it had dirt floors; no electricity
or running water. My mother continued to cry for the next three months.''
Crying eventually stopped as she
saw her family begin the revival of
Sutter. Home and the original winery
dating back to 1874,
Now, a little oyer 50 years later,
Bob Trinchero, his brother Roger, and
their sister, Vera Trinchero Torres,
celebrated a golden anniversary with
the introduction of M.Trinehero
Founder's Estate wines, a tribute to
their late father Mario.
With this tribute, the Trincheros
have ft commanding place in the ,
ultra-premium wine segment of Napa
Valley appellation wines. To offer'
popularly-priced wines to a broader
consumer base, they released M.
Tririchero's Family Selection series
including a chardonnay, merlot, and
cabernet sauvignon, all with a California designation, in the $10-15 price
bracket.

Hearing loss halts development of language skills
BY RENEE SKOGLUND

Can't hear, won.'t speak. That's the simple
connection between hearing; loss and language
skills.
"Hearing is the door t h a t needs to be opened
up in order~for language and speech development to occur," said Paul Kilney, an audiolpgist from the University of Michigan Health
System, in a recent press release on how parents can help spot hearing toss in.babies and
toddlers. '
•
"And we all know that those functions are
very closely related t o t h e thought process,
academic function and overall development. If
h e a r i n g loss is not diagnosed early enough,
some of the milestones associated with normal
development just do not occur."
:
. Significant hearing loss in both ears-is present in about 1. to 3 per 1,000 newborn infants
in t h e well-baby n u r s e r y , according, to t h e
American Academy of Pediatrics. In the intensive care nursery, t h e ratio increases to.-2 to 4
per 100.
The National C e n t e r for H e a r i n g Assessment & Management^ an organization a t Utah
State University, promotes the establishment

Fifth child in Michigan family receives cochlear implant
Sixteen-month-old Alivia Anderson of S p a r t a ,
Mich., is the fifth child in her immediate family to
receive the gift of hearing at U-M Hospital through
the use of a cochlear implant. She-and five others
of t h e eigh,t Anderson children were born w i t h
Mondini malformation, a genetic condition t h a t left
them severely-or profoundly deaf.
The condition results in the malformation of the
cochlea, the snail-shaped part of the inner ear that
channels vibrations to the auditory nerve and the
brain; Instead of a hollow spiral for the »*>und to
travel"through,' the cochlea is incomplete; preventing or limiting the ear-to-brain communication
t h a t makes hearing possible.
Alivia was operated on a t 13 1/2 months, one of
t h e youngest p a t i e n t s in t h e nation to undergo
such ajurgery, Of all the Anderson children, Alivia
