'-BRUARY 2004 It's pretty easy to see Plymouth-Canton Schools Superintendent Jim Ryan is in a tough spot. He's got millions of dollars worth of work to be done on existing buildings in a growing district crying out for even more space. [ What with schools facing near-certain financial reduc- tions as Gov. Jennifer Granholm tries to pare the state's budget deficit, and with Plymouth-Canton already facing large deficits of its own, the only way the district is going to be able to do what needs to be done is through a bond issue. Which Ryan is fairly certain wouldn't pass in difficult economic times. There is evidence to back him up. The City of Plymouth, facing huge deficits and needing cash to sim- ply provide basic services, last year went to the voters for a tax increase and was turned down flat. In Plymouth Township, voters approved the sale of $6 million in municipal bonds to help pay for a new town- ship hall. Township officials weren't going to seek voter approval until a citizens' group offered a successful peti- tion drive to force it to a vote. Plymouth Township offi- cials were able to sell voters by convincing them they would not seek a tax increase to pay for the bonds. Canton Township officials are expanding their township hall using bonds, but again there is no tax hike involved. The district's bond steering committee outlined some $91 million in needs, but Ryan doesn't think the economic cli- mate is such that voters would be willing to shell out that LETTERS kind of money. Some $14 million of that is in what Ken Jacobs, executive director of support services, termed Teach young drivers Li vonia, in our state and country, I feel he see it now.

TIMOTHY PRESBYTERIAN GENEVA PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (U.S.A.) Pastor Jamas Hoff Saturday - 4:30 p.m. , Offering constructive criticism to others can be beneficial, but only if the other'person is receptive to our It's Easy To Criticize ••• comments. In teaching situations or during on-the-job training, constructive criticism is usually necessary to instruct and ipelp a person develop a trade or vocation. However, correcting someone, even in a kind or skillful manner, can be very'chailenging, since we are never sure how the individual may react. Many friendships and families have been destroyed because someone has been overly critical of another person's words or actions. Knowing when we should offer our comments can also be difficult, and we should be fairly certain that our comments are truthful and necessary, it often seems so easy to criticize others because we mistakenly believe that we are without fault or are such experts on most everything. The Bible tells us that we look at the speck in our brother's eye, but we pay no attention to the fog in our own (Luke 6:41). Faultfinding and being overly critical of others, especially behind their ' backs, are wrong and can become habit-forming. However, kind words are good for the soul and help to build a person up. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes9 but a wise man listens to adviee. R.S.V.

This process addresses problems such as rough idling, poor acceleration, hard starts, weak acceleration or poor fuel economy.

To ensure maximum protection, the rule of thumb for this mixture is 50% water and 50% coolant. If your system has been flushed in the last 24 months, double-check the coolant's freeze protection for the winter season. .
