The contest, championed by the YMCA of the USA is designed to teach youngsters about the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibil ity. Viewing their award-winning creations are, left to right, Kristen Bur ton, 8,ofLivonia; Jessica Michael, 9, of Livonia, and Casaundra, 7, of Can ton Township. Each' metro area branch was challenged to produce pictures demonstrating the four values. Judging — done by the Metro Y corporate staff — was based on creativity and use of color. "The kids and staff were very enthusiastic about the contest," said Denise Felix, senior program direc tor at the Livonia branch. "The parents of the day campers were very excited and proud of their kids. They like the fact that the kids were learning about these values. It was fun and the counselors made it fun for the kids." A spe cial banner pronouncing the branch champs will be on display soon in the lobby of the local branch on Stark, just north of Schoolcraft. At AutoNation USA9, we thoroughly inspect all our cars.
