The Fall Festival just wouldn’t be the same without the Sunday chicken barbeque dinner. In fact, the Fall Festival wouldn’t exist without the Rotary chicken dinner. The Plymouth Rotary Club, which started the festival back in 1956, will turn out its specially seasoned barbeque chicken from the charcoal pits at the Gathering on Sept. 8. Included with the chicken dinner is corn-on-the-cob, a bag of chips, a roll and a can of pop. Dessert and coffee will also be available. More than 12,000 people will be served in Kellogg Park between noon and 5 p.m. Dinners will also be available "to go” at West Middle School on the southwest corner of Sheldon Road and Ann Arbor Trail. Tickets foT the dinner arc S7 on Sunday but may also be pur­ chased from the Rotarian-manned "dog houses” any time during the festival. Tickets are S6 if bought in advance. Proceeds from the dinner go to the Plymouth Rotary Foun-. dation, which donates the money to various organizations including the Salvation Army, the Boy Scouts, and for vocational scholar­ ships for students at the Centennial Educational Park.

For produce tent

Grab that giant cucumber and cultivate those flowers, because the produce tent at the Fall Festival is looking for entries in its annual exhibition. Bring entries to the festival tent on Sept. 8 between 9 a.m. and noon. . The tent is organized and run by members o f the Trail wood Garden Club. Categories in this year’s produce exhibit are: a dried flower arrangement, fresh flower arrangement, miniature flower arrangement (3” diameter), just marigolds and best single blossom.

BY JIM WHITE For the second year in a row, the Fall Festival Board of Directors President is following in a spouse's footsteps. Zari Kafila holds the president’s post this year for the 36th annual festival. Her husband Gene was president in. 1980, for the festival's silver anniversary. Both are members of the Civilans. In 1985 and 1990, Sue and Larry McElroy, respectively, chaired the board as members of the Plymouth Community Ails Council. "It’s a volunteer board, everyone forgets that," said Gene. “People on the board are very busy, they’re generally very active in their service group.” “They don’t do it for the glory,” added Zan. “The spirit of the citizens and businesses of Plymouth is what has raised the fest to its present level. If it weren’t for contributions made by the local,car dealers. We would not havethe same quality of entertainment” When Gene served, there was no limit to how long board members could serve. Now the limit is two three year terms. “You need to have turnover, you need to have new ideas,” he said. Zan joined Civilans in 1981. The group was instrumental in starting the Wayne County Special Olympics program and continues to do extensive work with Special Olympics as well as with other youth leadership training. “It was the only service group that admitted women as full members at that time,” she sad. Her first three year term on the Fall Festival board began in 1988, when she served on the new ideas committee. "We decided to focus, again on activities for the kids,” she said, adding that some of the games and mini rides for the kids had disappeared over the years. They will all be Ideated on Penniman this year. Another idea the committee had was to have school busses operating as shuttles from school parking lots outside of downtown Plymouth, Zan KafiU follows la her husband Gear's footsteps is Fall Festival Board alleviating the parking jumble that occurs each year in the festival area. of Directors president this year. Gene served as president in 1980. (Crier “I’d still love for somebody to sponsor a shuttle from other parking photo by Ken Voyles) lots,” said Zan. “It would be a wonderful asset to the festival. But the insurance costs are pretty high.” As president, Zan would like to see the board start a program in which one or two of the booths in worst condition are replaced each year. Ideally, she would also like to keep commercialism out of the festival, though with rising insurance costs that becomes harder to do each year. “We run the cleanest festival around, we’d like to keep it that way,” she said. She added that the board would be lost without the help of festival manager Joe Bida. The Kafilas metthrough Civilans and were married in 1986. Gene is a first generation Ukrainian. Zan (which is short for Rozanah) hails from the south. Warm Springs, G A, to be exact. “My daddy and James Roosevelt (FDR’s son) used to sneak out for a drink together,” she said.

For the most part, Fall Festival organizers have decided not to fix something that isn’t broken. They made few changes from last year’s festival. The “ Plymouth Canton Hockey Association’s popular "Hockey Shot Clock” booth and the Knights of Columbus Friday night rib dinner, both of which debuted last year, arc back once again. The rib dinner used to be a festival standby but had been ~cut in previous years. The Knights of Columbus brought it back with great success last year. The Lions Club and the Plymouth Grange, two groups with long connections to the festival, w ill not be involve^ this year. It lias been two years now since the Grange sold home baked pies. Last year they sold cider and doughnuts. These items w ill be sold by the Salem High School Class of ‘93.

They arc once again selling T-shirts, hats, pins and buttons, and ears of com the first three days of the festival, On Sunday, they w ill sell hoagic sandwiches.

"Arid when you restore this new computerized ceramic reconstruction machine (CEREC), they material, it's a cast ceramic material. It’s not porcelain.

"You can use gold and silver, by you wouldn’t want that in front of your mouth. “This allows you to restore the tooth to its original hardness and original shape.

In spite of such phenomenal advancements CEREC has con­ tributed to the field of dentistry, Goldenberg conceded that this procedure may not be for every dental patient. “It’s not applicable for every instance,” he said. "For example, if the tooth is badly broken down on all surfaces, generally it will require a convenient crown.” However, most people who have the option of accepting this new procedure at the McAuley Center wil opt for the newer method, according to Goldenberg. Goldenberg also pointed out that although there arc Other techniques available that produce tooth-color fillings, such sub­ stances tend to wear out a lot faster. "Amalgums, composites, things like that are chcap>cr» but they have to be replaced a little bit more," he said, “so this is a one-time fix in most cases. ” The process of preparing a tooth , for a crown or inlay by the CEREC method begins after the cavity site or filling has been l)r.

Don’t replace concrete if you can lift it. That's the "common sense” credo by which Metro Concrete Lifting, a new Canton business, operates. Since incorporating in March. Metro has been jacking up sunken concrete slabs by pumping a mixture of flume sand and cement underneath them. “It’s neat, it’s cheaper, it’s common sense,” said Jim Jameson, one of the owners of Metro. “There is no downtime involved. You can drive on the slab immediately.” The process is called mudjacking and M«ro has used it to lift sidewalks, driveways, and pool decks. Mudjacking involves drilling a hole pattern in the concrete that needs to be lifted. Then the flume sand (which is 80 per cent sand and 20 per cent day) and cement mixture is pumped under hydraulic pressure through the holes. As the slurry fills the void beneath the slab, the slab is raised to its 963 W. ANN ARBOR RD. (West of Main St.) PLYMOUTH original level.

BY BRIAN ELLIOTT You might call him a carpenter, or you might consider him a bit of a historian. . He has also been called a technician, a salesman and a refiriishcr. Actually, he is all of these and a few more. Pat DeBeliso rebuilds and restores old pianos. Not just any old pianos, but Stein ways, Chickerings, Mason Hamlins and Bechsteins. He and his wife LuAnne, both in their 30s, own Pianocraftcrs, a small but growing business in the City of Plymouth that specializes in the custom restoration; refinishing and repair of grand pianos made between the early 1920s and the late 1940s. Many people assume that this is a skill that can only be passed on j from one generation to the next. But DeBeliso actually went to j school for it. j “1 knew that I wanted to do this when 1 left, high school,” he said. “So I asked the principal of my high school and he referred me to a local piano tuner who told me about a special school." In 1975 DeBeliso earned his degree from Niles Bryant College in Sacramento, CA. He went to work for Smiley Brothers making — Baldwin Pianos. Soon, he began to feel the quality of the product was digressing. “Basically, I got fed up,” DeBeliso sqid. “ I could see that the real quality was built into the old Steinways and a few other pianos and decided to go into business for myself." Starting off in his garage in 1978, DeBeliso got an early break when he bumped into Steven Stills at the Sidestrcct Pub in Plymouth. “1 sent him over a drink and heinvited me to join him,” DeBeliso said. “When he learned that I was restoring an old Chickcring he immediately asked me to show it to him. “I had no idea that he loved Chickerings,” added DeBeliso. “It -was only a matierorminulcs after seeing it^wherThe asked me how Pat DeBetiso polishes a restored piano be has nearly completed.

They know they’re going to get a quality Steinway concert grand that has been perfected to the very last detail”' Detail is something like a religion at Pianocrafters. DcBeliso was trying to find green felt that was identical to the original on a 1901 Bwhstcin he was restoring. Who would know if he just used something similar? " I would,” he said, summing up his philosophy towards his craft.

In 1986, Graco1 bought out Edon’s share and became GRI’s sole owner. Fender said, “Graco is the world’d largest supplier, of paint pumping and regulating and handling equipment. This was the basis of our marriage with them. Graco provided the fluid handling equipment and we provided the application device - the robot arm.” However, competition was tough from Japanese and European companies that were entering the American market. “Graco managed to remain alive and gained the respect and acceptance from our dedication to serve our customers,” said Fender. Before ABB’s acquisition of Graco Robotics, the company was only producing 100 to 150 machines in a good year. “It was difficult to maintain profitability and then to reinvest in the technology. We decided to significantly invest in research and development but we suffered profit-wise,” Fender said. Eventually, Graco decided to sell its robotic subsidiary to ABB.

ABB Robotics, of New Berlin, WI,. is a leading supplier of in­ dustrial robot systems which are used for tasks from welding to painting. Also, ABB Robotics is part of the vast, multi-national Asea Brown Bovcri Corporation. “ABB is a merger of two larger electrical companies, one Swedish and one Swiss,” Rizvi said. “ABB is a world-wide company comparable to General Electric."

BY MICHELLE TREGEMBO WILSON A visitor to this community on the eve of World War II would find Plymouth a bustling center of commercial activity for the farmland that extended for miles in all directions. Businesses prospered, putting the depression behind them. Local. industries began to expand in preparation for the approaching war. Ruth Huston served as Plymouth’s first female mayor. The local A&P advertised onions at 33 cents for 10 pounds, fresh creamery butter at 36 cents per pound and Emperor grapes at eight cents per pound. Double dip ice cream cones cost five cents at Cloverdale’s Dairy on Ann Arbor Trail. The P&A theater on Penniman Avenue charged 25 cents adult admission and 10 cents for children. The structure of downtown Plymouth, centered at Main and Penniman, had many similarities to today’s buildings. Both the Mayflower Hotel, at Main and Ann Arbor Trail, and Schrader’s Belly Pint, above left, is organizing the 50-year reunion f o r Plymouth Funeral Home, on Main north of Penniman, existed in their present High’s Class of ’41. Doris and Bill VVemelt, right, show off a photo of her locations but less expanded than today. family home in Old Village.

Beyer Pharmacy was the drugstore in Lower Town, on Liberty. Owner Otto Beyer had died and his two daughters were running the store. Farming and dairying were the main occupations in Canton. Businesses included several small grocery stores and two dairies. Canton residents divided their commercial and educational patterns between Plymouth, Wayne, Belleville and Ypsilanti. Children o f Canton’s farmers often worked at other jobs such as factory work. Roy Schultz, of Canton, said that “ farmers usuallv had big families. Some kids-had to get other jobs at some time." Also, some farms had hired hands whose wages included room and board. Plymouth also served as a center of entertainment in 1941. Downtown had two bowling alley-pool halls and the P&A theater.

The rest of the staff consists o f aproximately 50 people,' programmers, technical writers, engineers, C A D -C A M operators, system analysts, project managers, and PC support personnel. "The employes wc have are specialists,” Donald Wcrtman said. “ Wc do not hire inexperienced people. We need to give the client exactly what they need, because they need a particular job done. “ The client is willing to pay a good salary for a specialist.” Because this agency is different from its competitors in that it may place temporary and permanent workers, it is also unique in its. salary and benefit program. “ I feel that it is better to work for an agency such as ours as wc will try to get the most money for our employes,” he said. " And a man and a woman will make the same dollar amount for the same job.” "A lot of our good employes will work here for a while, then find a permanent job elsewhere, and then find that they don’t like it there, and end up back here with us,” she added. This agency deals with different size firms. “ Some of our Fortune 500 companies arc Chrysler, Ford, GM , Dow Corning and Consumer Power," he said. “ At the present time Chrysler is our major client.

"Someone starting out temporary may work into permanent. Since they arc on a contract with us through the temporary job, wc will negotiate a fee for the placement.” The Wcrtmans purchased their 100-year-old farmhouse in February, 1990. They arc presently restoring it. The outside of the house shows its elegance with light blue and white trim, along with a bright red barn at the end of the gravel driveway. “ Restorations arc taking place on the inside which has needed work because of its age,” said Virginia Wcrtman. “ We are also buying plants and flowers to put outside that would resemble the era in which it was built," she said. "For example it would be nice to plant roses and lilacs with an old fashioned fence and lamppost.” The Wertmans moved their business To Northville after finding the historic farmhouse. “ As for using it as a residence, we decided not to, because we live in M ilford,” said Virginia Wcrtman. '.'But this is a working far­ mhouse and there is no reason why the next owner could not just move into it like a residence because it is set up that way.

There are 17 million shot in one pound of the smallest size, versus 17,000 shot in a pound of the larger more bb-like shot. “ We work three shifts here around the clock,” said Metaltec president Gary Stevers recently. "But we’re also a drop in the bucket. Something like 265,000 tons of shot arc produced each year in this country. “ We arc an entity that you need,” added Stevers. “ People need it whether they know it or not. Foundries arc something you just can't replace. They will never go away.” Metaltec uses two main furnaces - temperatures- inside them reaches over 3100 degrees -- during the pouring of the shot, em­ ploying about 36 people, mostly in the manufacturing end of things. “ This is a fill-out foundary with the U.S. Bureau of Mines,” Stevers said. “ If we go to war we become a viable part of the government." Founded in 1981 Metaltec mainly supplies shot for the casting industry, .with a client base of about 400 companies across the country.

I&C 62 1991 CRIER SALUTE TO INDUSTRY A COMMERCE Cranks out 50 million pounds Foundry runs around the clock CONTINUED “ The most unique thing about us is that the steel shot wc produce is structurally different than our competitors,” said Stevcrs. The bainitc shot was originated in Germany and Mctaitcc has a license to produce it through MetaltcchnikSchmidt (or GMBH) of Stuggart. There are only two licensed bainitc producers in the world outside of Germany - Mctaitcc in Canton and a South African firm. Don Hunt, Mctaitcc plant manager, Steel shot is mainly used to clean metal castings, such as engine inspects a load of scrap on Its *>a> blocks, and should be as nearly spherical as possible with a into the round-lhf-clock furnaces. minimum of elongated particles, tails, hollows, broken pieces, slag (Crier photo by Eriq Lukasik) and dirt. The shot is also used in “ peening” ballpecn hammers in which a machine “ imparts” the shot onto the surface of the hammer. But the main use is for cleaning a myriad array of casts. The shot is used in a machine that works much like a sand blaster; bbs have a lifetime of three to 300 times through a machine. “ Our niche with bainite is that the bbs retain uniformity and shape and wear at an even rate,” said Stcvcrs. “ Everyone else Mctaitcc also works with Ferrite, a compound of ferric oxide and produces Martensite tempered shot. Our’s typically lasts 30 per cent other oxides, used in pigments, bases, and dyes. Ferrite that is longer.” broken down is captured and put on the backs of cassettes and videotapes. “ We’re still developing this product but we're breaking new ground,” said Stevcrs. • Shot is formed from scrap metals which are mctled down before “ secret” alloys arc added. The hot metal is then poured and cast on a water stream which atomizes it (reduces it to fine partciles or spray). When the molten metal is "dropped” on the water, bbs form.

The machine then “ sweeps" the shot out and it is ready for screening, sorting and packaging. - Inside the plant Don Hunt, plant manager, said scrap metal is fed into the furnace by conveyor belt at one end. When it comes out the other end as molten metal every effort is made to control the stream of superhot metal to be certain of the eventual quality of the bbs. The water used into the process reaches well below ground level (it too has to be cooled in ponds behind the building). And the furnaces themselves often take five hours to cool when not in use. Once the furnace is full and ready to pour, employes in the lab analyze the content of metal using a spectrometer and make the necessary alloy adjustments. “ We do a lot of testing hereof the content,” said Hunt. Hunt points out the bbs which seem to be everywhere -- you get use to walking lightly on the very product Mctaitcc produces. Special bins arc set aside for the non-round shot that also comes out during the process, while large containers hold thousands o f - pounds.

“ From the time wc start a pour to the finish it takes about two hours and 20 minutes,” said Stevcrs, who travels to Germany about once a year. “ This is a field where things can be pretty hush-hush. “ But it’s not hard to figure out what wc do,” he added. “ Wc like where wc are at here in Canton and we’ll do everything wc can to stay here.” Mctaitcc afso has clients overseas in Taiwan, Japan and Germany and its furnaces use to be a “ showpiece” for the company which manufactured the equipment.

Golden Bantam com produced a sweet but small ear , with only eight rows of kernels on it; late Bantam was a longer car, but still only eight rows of kernels.

I-O-Chief was the best and sweetest com of the period. It was so hard to pick that a knife was used to cut it from the stalk. This was dangerous and time ancc consuming. The buyers wouldn't pay more for the extra work and quality, so I-O-Chief faded away. Denver Cockrum got a bit of publicity in the papers for producing com for the Wriglcy Stores. Their ads featured “brcak-a-day-com." The 60s were also a good time for the army surplus stores to dispose of army raincoats. Growers purchased them for their early morning com picking crews.

'Golden era' over but many still produce CONTINUED Cockrum had 17 carbide and propane cannons that would bang intermittcnly sounding like a shotgun. He had one person to tend the cannons carrying a gun, just to keep the birds moving. Okie Hamblin had three workers to tend the inigalion and carry a gun to keep birds on the move. Others did similar things. Ed Kidd ' introduced us to bird traps as well, but they needed more daily attention than most farmers wanted to give them. Also, to keep from smashing down too much com to start a new field, some growers devised a way to push a wagon through the field. This way the rows ahead of the wagon were picked before they were smashed. Some had the tongue tied up to clear the ground. I used a sled that guided the tongue between stalks in the row. Some kind of record might have been set by Bob Schultz and his crew of four. Those five workers picked and,bagged 1,350 bags on com in one day! ' . ' . . The mechanical picker didn’t solve all the problems it was supposed to. Most of the labor saved in the dewy fields was made up in the packing shed because the machine picked up everything. By hand you just pick good com. There were those who had a picker and went back to hand picking and back to a picker again. Anyway, mechanical pickers were coming to stay. Another practice was to cut the tops off the cornstalks just before picking. It was done by using a modified hi-boy sprayer with rotary knives over each row. That made it a lot easier to move around in the com and to toss the ears to the conveyor or wagon Roy Schultz with a rare four-ear stalk of Canton’s finest — com. 1970s helped husk it, repackage it, count it, ice it and deliver it Sunday During the 70s Okie Hamblin and Wilford Bunyea grew com for the mominjg for the chicken barbecue.

How does a city plan and sponsor a truly community event? The answer: put on a city-wide Community Picnic. That is exactly what City o f Plymouth officials set out to do in the summer o f 1938, a time when support o f friends and neighbors was most important. The Plymouth community was proud of its heritage, its business It was,(Sported in the Plymouth Mail that children consumed leadership and the support o f its citizens who were all working 1,320 bottles o f pop, 35 gallons o f ice cream and 2,640 cookies. together in very unstable economic times.

' By 1940, the Community Picnic attracted over 2,500 o f the city’ s residents and featured free food. Highlights included appearances by Detroit Tigers third baseman Pinky Higgens along with several p f his teammates. The picnic concluded With a band concert and a Community Sing. The 1941 picnic finally saw the Kiwanis beat the Rotary in soft- ball. Shoe kicking and peanut balancing contests were a highlight. The band again played in the evening along with the Ford Rangers.

Young team hopes to repeat success

“ The team is relatively young and inexperience but we’ll be competitive with ia good nucleus to work with," said Canton coach Bob Khoenle. “ We have a lot of kids back that.didn't start M last year but got in playing time.” The key spot that has to be filled is that left by three-year starting quar­ terback Karl Wukie, who led the Chiefs to a 9-2 record in his senior year, losing to the eventual state champs Detroit Catholic Central in the regional finals. Sophomore Kevin Shankie and junior Mark'Koziol will fight for the vacant quarterback job this season. Shankie is a natural quarterback who has looked good in practice. He throws well and is a good runner, according to Khoenle. The question is whether he is mentally tough enough at this point to make the transition from freshman football to varsity.

D uel W ith Fire by Erick Came; music by Mike Came

The sun cam e up and broke the daw n, the fire and sm oke w ould soon be on, They banked the coals and lit a spark, the sm oke rolled out of those pits...so dark The sw eat poured out, the flam es grew higher, and they stood ready to duel w ith fire Yeah, duel w ith fire

The coals now glow ed a cherry red, but they knew the fires m ust be fed,

Sm oke bit their eyes as they added fodder, they w iped their faces as it got hotter They added coals to that searing pyre, and they stood ready to duel w ith fire,

Yeah, duel w ith fire

They added coals ’til that sun w ent dow n, they battled sm oke and grit in Plym outh Tow n The faces black, hair reeked of sm oke, their backs w ere sore, but no spirit broke

They took the heat right to the w ire, that day they w on their duel w ith fire Y eah...duel w ith fire. / ...

Editor's note: This song was Written to accompany the full- length video of the 1990 Fall ' Festival Rotary Chicken Barbecue. Rotation Erick Came and his Rotarian-reject/son Mike Came are Plymouth residents, both living within sootfallout distance from the Fall Festival. Erick is a noted local architect: Mike is production director of The Publications Company and former adveriising/arl director of The Community Crier.
