Library patrons create fashion
By April Scarlett Special Writer
ast week, young tweens and teens got a chance to dive into all things trendy and textile at the Saline District Library. Katie Mitchell set out photos, fabrics and T-shirts as she prepared for Project Runway Saline, a summer class in which students in seventh through Saturday, Aug. 28 12th grades learned about fashion, ■ A Microsoft Publisher from how to up-cycle an old T-shirt, class will be held at Milan Public Library.

The class “Everybody has beauty, general is for people who already styles don’t change, and fashion know computer basics, such as using a mouse and keyboard.

changes within your own style.” Katie covered the season’s trends in the class, as depicted by Teen Vogue magazine. The idea is for the students to look at the runway styles, then find a way to incorporate their own versions of the trend. This fall’s trends are the mod mini, the ski sweater, military classics, leopard print, grunge lux, neo geo, plaid and 1950s chic. Students in the class made weave belts from old T-shirts and pounded out hammered bracelets from spoons. Katie Riffe, 12, came dressed for the class. “I like fashion and stuff, but jewelry is my favorite,” she said. The tween wore a turquoiseand-white beaded necklace in a
flower pattern, with large, stand-out matching earrings. She doesn’t plan to enter the fashion industry, but wouldn’t mind having good fashion sense as she pursues a career in zoology. Maria Bleitz, also 12, thought the class sounded like fun and likes all things fashion, while Marissa Willwerth, 12, was looking for something cool to do as the summer winds down. “I like the colors and designs,” Marissa said, “more clothes than jewelry. I like the colors and designs, and shoes and purses, too.” This was the first year for Project Runway Saline, as presented as part of the library’s “Make A Splash” summer program.

Historical society rents out space at Rentschler By Steven Howard Heritage Newspapers
The weather was warm and sunny and rain was nowhere in sight as the US-12 Heritage Trail Garage Sale kicked off Friday morning. Agnes Dikeman, a member of the Saline Area Historical Society, said the private vendors were already reporting swift sales of their wares, which ranged from old photographs to vintage clothing. “Everybody seems to be happy,” she said of the vendors, which numbered 17 that day. The grounds at Rentschler Farm in Saline were used for a giant yard sale last weekend as part of “We’ve had a steady stream of the US-12 Heritage Trail Garage Sale. PLEASE SEE HIT/3-B

Festival to feature pooch contest Pet owners are invited to participate in the Doggie Days of Summer Pooch Contest at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 28 at the Westgate Shopping Plaza in Ann Arbor. The contest, taking place as part of the Westgate Festival, is open to dogs young or old, large or small. It will be judged in the following categories: cutest dog, ugliest dog, best trick, smallest dog (tail to nose) and largest dog (tail to nose). For the safety of the animal, no cats are allowed. For a $2 registration fee, per category of entry, all par-
ticipants will receive a gift bag compliments of Wags to Wiskers. A grand prize will be awarded in each category, with a special prize donated by sponsors. Interested pet owners are asked to pre-register via email at www.westgatefestival. com. Walk-in registration is welcome, but participants must arrive no later than 1 p.m. Tail Wagger’s 1990, a local nonprofit organization, will be collecting pet food donations as part of their Pet Food Assistance program. All pet
food collected in Washtenaw County directly benefits the animals in the county. Additionally, all monies from the registration fee will be used for local companion animals in need. For more information on Tail Wagger’s 1990 and the programs it offers, visit www. tailwaggers1990.org. The pooch contest is just one event in the Westgate Festival, beginning at noon and offering a variety of things to do for the entire family.
Visitors can go to the Kids Zone for a cupcake walk, extreme bounce and face painting. Adults can get in on the Quarter Bistro BBQ Block Party and a food and beverage tent featuring a W-4 Country live remote from 1 to 3 p.m. Created by local businesses in Westgate as a way to promote Ann Arbor’s west side, the one-day event promises a little something for everyone with a focus on family entertainment and a back to school theme, including sales on educational items.

for it showcases both his killer comic timing and a previously unknown anecdote: This dude can seriously kick some butt as an action hero. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, as Ramona, doesn’t have the meatiest of roles. That said, she demonstrates that she has serious potential as a comedic and actually, dramatic actress. This has a remarkably strong supporting cast. Anna Kendrick, just coming off of her great turn in “Up in the Air,” shows up as Pilgrim’s younger sister, and knocks it out of the park, something she has developed a knack for doing. The actors portraying Ramona’s “Seven Exil Exes” are an absolute blast to watch. Brandon Routh and Jason Schwartzman, in particular, have fantastic comic timing. But Ellen Wong as Scott’s obsessed teenage ex, Knives Chau, delivers an absolute breakout performance, as a girl who absolutely refuses to give up her beloved “Scotty.” It’s pretty astonishing what a great cast has been assembled. But the thing that really, truly and entirely blows my mind about “Scott Pilgrim” is its ability to maintain a ridiculously manic pace, with sight gags and action sequences flying by in seconds, and yet touch me deeply on an emotional
level. There’s something to be said for a movie where one moment a character is pulling a “Power of Self-Respect” energy sword above his chest, and the next touching the audience emotionally without it feeling forced or contrived. The emotional arcs of both Scott and Ramona remain genuinely poignant, transcending the films own tone to become a great love story in its own right. “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” is a giddy, gleeful ode to youth, to love, and to the fixations of geek culture. Few movies have ever stirred up such a profound emotional reaction in me as this. Many people likely will disagree with this review –– for the most part because of a generational gap. And that’s fine by me because similar to the way that nowadays kids watch “Star Wars” or “Back to the Future” and marvel, in 20 years young movie-goers today will look at “Scott Pilgrim” and marvel. Young or old, I know I always will. I give it four out of four stars.

Wellings completes training in D.C. Ariana Wellings of Saline recently completed training at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. As DECA’s District 4 representative, she is ready to lead more than 7,000 Michigan DECA members toward a successful year. Michigan DECA, an association of marketing students, is an organization focused preparing emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management. The 10 student leaders that make up Michigan DECA’s State Executive Council were sworn in at the 65th annual State Career Development Conference March 14. These 10 individuals were selected by their peers after a two-day campaign process that included creating a campaign booth and presenting a speech to more than 2,500 Michigan DECA members that attended the conference. The Michigan DECA State Executive Council is dedicated to providing experiences for each member
that will empower them to achieve personal and professional growth. To achieve this, each year the executive council develops and executes a program of work. This year’s program of work includes goals to increase membership. The state officers are also requested by chapters throughout the state to share their knowledge of leadership and the many benefits that DECA provides to high school students who are working toward a successful future. They also preside over 15 student-oriented conferences throughout the year. Wellings, daughter of Stacey and Doug Wellings of Saline, has attended DECA conferences throughout Michigan and in Louisville, Ky. Wellings says she ran for Michigan DECA State Office because she wants “to become more involved Ariana Wellings of Saline recently completed training at George with DECA.” Washington University in Washington, D.C. as part of DECA, an Wellings will be a senior association of marketing students. at Saline High School.

customers, and we’re having more vendors tomorrow.” Though the Rentschler Farm sale was impressive enough in size to satisfy the average bargain-hunting shopper, Dikeman said she had a few customers tell her of lofty shopping ambitions. “Somebody told me they were going to every single sale from here to the Irish Hills,” she said. The historical society was also celebrating the grand opening of its new gift shop, which is housed in a repurposed farm building recently moved to the property. Dikeman said they were offering a 20 percent off sale on all Saline-related merchandise during the event, including books, DVDs and local goods, but that by far the most purchased item was a certain tasty beverage. “The most popular item we’re selling is the Walker Tavern Root Beer,” she said, mentioning the state park complex west of Clinton along US-12. Roger Julie of Ypsilanti was one of the vendors selling assorted items that day, and he said his booth in front of the farm house was stocked with inventory from a former family antique business. “We had a store in Depot Town up until 1997,” he said, adding that the name of the store originally was Cross Street Antiques. Though he no longer has a physical storefront, Julie said he hosts three or four other shows a year to display his stock. “It’s pretty eclectic odds and ends,” he said. “We’re cleaning out the back room of the garage. It’s across the board.” Though his items were varied, Julie said people were mostly attracted to one particular type of antique he had on hand. “We’ve been selling a lot of these old wooden clamps,” he said. “I sold almost all I brought and I started out with 25.” Each one cost $5. Julie said he does not mind
parting with his inventory because he does not really have a favorite kind of antique or collectable. “We buy things and sometimes keep them for a few years and then sell them,” he said. Behind the Rentschler home was Margaret Lane’s booth, where an assortment of clothing could be seen hanging from a line. “I have Halloween costumes and Boy Scout outfits,” she said. “We have five Scouts in the family.” Lane also had a men’s bike for sale and other knickknacks, but she said a produce item was noticeably her best seller. “My cucumbers are really selling,” she said. “It has been pretty good.” Shopping the event was Michelle Kraft of Milan, who said she brought her daughter, Michelle Kraft, 5, to Rentschler Farm because of the girl’s newfound fondness for garage sales. “This is the first time we’ve done this,” she said of the US12 sale. “She got interested in garage sales pretty much this summer.” Kraft said they really didn’t have a game plan in terms of what kind of items they were looking for, but rather were just keeping their eyes open for things that captured their interest. The Rentschler sale was just the beginning of their bargain hunting, however, Kraft said. “We’re going down Michigan Avenue,” she said. The US-12 Heritage Trail Garage Sale stretched from Detroit to New Buffalo. Steven Howard can be reached at 429-7380 or showard@heritage.com.

Magazine to feature local business Forbes, a business and financial magazine, chose Foresight Capital Management Advisors Inc. of Saline to be featured in a special financial section of the publication’s June 28 issue. FCMA was among six toprated registered Michigan firms selected, based on credentials, performance and measurable results. Laurie Stegenga, founder and president of FCMA, said Michigan firms were located using Lexus Nexus search engine and then further screened on the basis of their credentials before being interviewed for the special Michigan Financial section. FCMA, the most credentialed fee-only independent firm spotlighted, garnered top placement in the publication. “Forbes has committed to run the special financial sections for each state, assisting readers in locating quality investment management firms across the nation,” Stegenga said. Stegenga said FCMA emphasizes a proven investment process that focuses on research-driven strategies and a commitment to individualized customer service. “We take the time to understand our clients’ objectives and strive to develop a plan that suits their needs now and in the future,” Stegenga said. “Our process has proven results worldwide, and our highly personalized retirement system produces cost savings for both the plan participant and the sponsor.” FCMA focuses on small- to medium-sized companies with $500,000 to over $10 million in retirement plan assets. Their largest plan has 80 employees and $5.3 million in assets under management. “We are very pleased with our successes to date,” Stegenga said. “In fact, despite a very volatile economic climate, we are ahead of our growth projections.” Stegenga founded Foresight Capital Management Advisors in 2008 as an independent, fee-only registered investment advisory firm that specializes in individual wealth management and corporate retirement plan services. The FCMA team focuses on three areas: retirement plans, individual wealth management and fiduciary consulting, man-

Kids make bookmarks for Milan anniversary Milan library hosts contest with prizes By Steven Howard Heritage Newspapers
Children in Milan have been creating bookmarks at the Milan Public Library for the past few weeks to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the village charter, and to celebrate the area’s rich local history and heritage. Milan library’s youth services coordinator, Jennifer Perryman, said the bookmarks are being made as part of a contest that will be judged in several age categories. “We have preschool and kindergarten, first and second grade, third through fifth, middle school and high school,” she said. Preschoolers and kindergarteners could be seen in the library’s conference room Friday creating their bookmarkers, selecting from an abundance of markers, papers and other items to compose their artwork. Ethan Fogarty, 5, and Caleb Fogarty, 3, could be seen eagerly drawing their designs on the paper. Though still learning how to read, Ethan said he loves books. “My mom and dad read to me,” he said as he worked. Other children filtered in and out throughout the day, as well as on previous days when different age groups were able to come in. Perryman said the activity has been very popular, generating a large number of contest entries. “We probably have close to 50,” she said of the bookmarks. Perryman said winners were to be chosen Tuesday, when the library was set to host an event to commemorate the end of the summer reading series. “The Friends (of the library) may be judging it,” she said. “If not, the staff. We haven’t decided that yet.” Winning the contest can be a lucrative proposal for those who are selected based on their bookmark, garnering them a McDonald’s gift card, as well as the honor of having their bookmarks printed for distribution at the library. Though the bookmark contest and related celebration mark the end of the “Make a Splash, Read!” summer program, Perryman said the library will continue to have many ways for children to get involved in reading and other activities as the fall approaches.
The toddler and preschool story time program will kick off Sept. 9. The event program describes what kids and parents can expect. “Story time includes stories, music, crafts and related activities,” the program states. “Story time is about 30 minutes for toddlers and 40 minutes for preschoolers.” The library asks those interested to stop in and register. The library will also host activities surrounding this year’s Michigan Reads book selection “The Runaway Garden,” including a group reading. The Halloween season will bring the opportunity to decorate paper mache jack-olanterns, which will be held Oct. 14. Bird lovers likely will enjoy the Birds of Prey program hosted by Karen Young Nov. 20. “See hawks, owls and falcons and learn about their adaptations, habitat requirements, conservation status and hunting and food preferences,” the event program reads. There are also a number of teen and adult programs that will commence around the same time for the fall, and Perryman said those interested can stop by the library and pick up a complete listing. For additional information or to register for any of the classes offered, call 439-1240. General information as well an events calendar can be found at www.milanlibrary.org. Steven Howard can be reached at 429-7380 or Photo by Steven Howard showard@heritage.com. Follow Ethan Fogarty, 5, and Caleb Fogarty, 3, create bookmarks at the Milan Public Library Friday. The bookmark contest was put on by his blog at http://heritagewestlibrary staff to celebrate the city’s 125th anniversary since its village charter was established. staffblog.blogspot.com.

Hangin’ out at MoonWinks Dixboro eatery is perfect fit in old neighborhood By Terry Jacoby Heritage Newspapers
Andy Tankanow jumps out of the cart and rushes up to his golf ball in the middle of the fairway during a recent golf outing for a local charity. The Ann Arbor business owner asks if he can hit first. “I want to try and get into a rhythm,” he says. Tankanow rips a shot that lands on the green. On and off the golf course, Tankanow has been in a rhythm. The 26-year-old Ann Arbor Greenhills and Michigan State graduate is running a successful café in his hometown and also is planning a December wedding to longtime girlfriend Jennifer Schleicher. “Life is pretty good,” Tankanow says with a smile while sitting outside of his family owned MoonWinks Café. “I have always had a competitive nature, whether on the golf course or the soccer field or in business.” In other words, Tankanow doesn’t like to lose. And the MoonWinks Café has been a winner since day one, thanks not only to hard work and determination, but detailed planning and organization. The Tankanow family opened MoonWinks in October 2006 in the remodeled “Dixboro Shops at the Green” building on Plymouth Road in the Village of Dixboro, northeast of Ann Arbor. The building has housed a number of businesses over the years, including an antique store, boat shop, gas station and Michigan Saddlery. The white outside of the building, with its long front porch, is a nice complement to the historic feel of the neighborhood, which includes the Dixboro General Store,

Phone: 734-994-5151 Web: www.moonwinkscafe.com The name: MoonWinks Café is named after Moonwinks Restaurant & Bar in Cuba Lake, N.Y., where owner Andy Tankanow’s grandparents met. “The ‘wink’ symbolizes a significant secret many may keep in the name of love. My grandmother Muriel’s dark secret was her young age (14) at the time she met my grandfather, Oscar (21) in 1941.” Madison Jenkinson (left), Geri Peterman and owner Andy Tankanow help run MoonWinks. Gibbons Antiques and the Freeman one-room schoolhouse. The 1,500 square-foot inside is cozy and inviting — a nice place to “hang out” for a little while. “Dixboro really needed a place for people to just come and hang out,” says Tankanow. “I grew up a quarter mile down the road and was working for the woman who owned the building while I was a freshman in college. I overheard her say one day that she wanted to help develop the area and find someone to put a coffee shop in here. I went home that night and told my parents we should jump at this opportunity.” Tankanow said the planning started that evening and lasted more than three years. “We get people here in the morning who come in and do their crossword puzzles or read the paper and have
we’ve come since that first week.” MoonWinks is more than just a neighborhood coffee shop. While it does sell specialty coffee, tea and smoothies, the menu also includes breakfast bagels, soups, salads and sandwich wraps. The pesto chicken and turkey and gouda are among the more popular sandwiches. And business has been as good as the food. “For the most part, Ann Arbor has done OK during these tough economic times, especially compared to other parts of the country,” Tankanow said. “Our menu is reasonably priced, the food is very good and we make a point of getting to know our customers. I think these things keep people coming back. “Customer service has been the biggest reason for our success. We have a great staff and
which includes his sister, Alyse. “We were planning everything during the years I was going to college,” Tankanow says. “I would come home every weekend during my senior year to oversee the build and my phone was attached to my hip and it was ringing all the time.” The cash register first rang on Oct. 30, 2006, and Tankanow admits that even with all that planning, the first day was a little hectic. “We did a soft opening that first day without even advertising it and we were packed,” he said. “We didn’t even know how to run the cash register. We had a line out the door and around the corner because we didn’t have a good system in place to take the orders. But people were very understanding and luckily gave us a second chance. I still have customers telling me how far
a little something to eat,” Tankanow said. “In the afternoon, we get people in here playing card games or doing work on their laptop or whatever. I think it’s great that people want to come and just hang out.” The café wasn’t a spur-ofthe-moment idea hatched by a family looking to invest some of their hard-earned savings. Years of planning and research took place before the Tankanows ever signed the lease. They visited coffee shops and restaurants not only throughout Michigan but in New York City and other areas. Tankanow’s mother, Roberta Tankanow, is a retired clinical associate professor of pharmacy at the University of Michigan, and his father, Larry, is chief of medicine at St. John Macomb Hospital in Warren. Success runs throughout the family,

I can’t say enough about what an outstanding job they do. Geri Peterman and Madison Jenkinson are the backbone of the business.” For Tankowski, business is also about community. And the MoonWinks staff and ownership believe that it is “our responsibility to give back to our wonderful community.” Organizations such as the Humane Society of Huron Valley, Motor Meals, Musical Societies, Local elementary and high schools, Big Sisters Big Brothers, Children’s theatre (Thurston Players) and the National Kidney Foundation have all been at the receiving end of MoonWinks generosity. “Through the support of these worthy organizations, MoonWinks Cafe is able to affirm our dedication to fostering a great community,” Tankowski says.
