BY BRAD KADRICH OBSERVER STAFF WRITER

Matt Collingwood has learned in the last few weeks what it’s like to chase the Taliban across the terrain and into the caves of Afghanistan in an effort to win individual battles and, more importantly, the war. And he’s never left Ray Schepansky’s military history classroom at Plymouth High School. Collingwood, a 17-year-old Salem High School senior, is among the students in Schepansky’s military his­ tory class who are taking part in a simulated war as a means of approaching the final exam. Collingwood is commanding the American forces in Schepansky’s simu­ lation. Collingwood said he’s get­ ting more out of the exercise than battle experience. “It’s a lot of strategy and planning, but it’s not just about that,” said Collingwood, a Canton resident. “It’s about wars in the past, and about PHOTOS BY BILL BRESLER | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER weapons used and about » leadership.

Thousands of mourners lined the pews Friday at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church in Plymouth for the funeral of Livonia Police Officer Larry Nehasil. Nehasil, 48, died Monday after he was shot while pursu­ ing a home invasion suspect. Police officers and officials from law enforcement agen­ cies from Michigan and across the country gathered to pay respects to Nehasil, a 20-year veteran of the Livonia Police Department.

Four Seasons Rehabilitation and Nursing Celebrates State o f Michigan Citation-Free Survey

Patricia Lyden is praising her staff for earning the citation- free Certificate of Achievement from the Health Care Association of Michigan. The framed accomplishment will soon be hung in the lobby. Surveyors from the Michigan Department of Community Health showed up unannounced before Thanksgiving for the annual survey. Every nursing home is surveyed annually for licensing and certification. During the four days, six surveyors looked for infractions of federal and Michigan Public Health Code regulations used as guidelines for all aspects of resident care. Throughout the year Four Seasons' Quality Assurance Committee meets with the medical director to address concerns.

“It’s not easy to get through the survey,” said Lyden, Four Seasons’ Pat Lyden, RN, MS, LNHA, LNC Administrator and an RN . “I'm very proud of the staff from admissions to Four Seasons Administrator maintenance, nursing to dietary.
