Cvs ina EA ol id Ll ag i A at VOLUMEI, NUMBER 15 * MAY 14-28, 1981 ven before the sun peeks over the murals adorning the 90-year-old sheds at the Eastern Farmers Market, farmers and produce dealers unload their trucks. Some carefully arrange produce and post the day s - prices around their stalls, while others are lured away by the smells of breakfast drifting from the concession stand, and the hope that one more cup of coffee might be all they need to really awaken.
Though the market has been in operation fornearly a century, surprisingly little has changed, according to numerous second and third generation vendors like Virginia Messina, who, along with her father, has been selling produce for over 50 years.
Says Messina, I ve seen it all. People still like to haggle. Prices are still negotiable. Suburban sprawl, and decades of changes in people s buying habits have not seemed to affect this Detroit institution. Though numerous fruit, vegetable and farmers markets have opened up, none has come close to offering the variety available at Eastern Market. Continiied on page 8

TOM.A.C.O.FIGHT PLANT CLOSINGS
Fighting for traffic lights, rat control and abandoned housing demolition is tough enough. But when you take on General Motors Corporation, youre really going big time.
That was part of the message delivered to 300 southwest community residents who attended a kick-off meeting of the Campaign for Jobs of the Michigan Avenue Community Organization (MACO) at St. Stephen s Hall on April 30.
The issue confronting the community is no longer simply the quality of life, or even simply jobs but survival. The community s very existence is threatened by the planned closing of General Motors _Clark Avenue Cadillac plant and the Fisher Body Fleetwood plant.
Fleetwood alone eadne 3,500 jobs. The ripple effects of these plant closings especially the effect on small parts and steel supplier plants on the southwest side would turn one of Detroit s oldest culturally richest and most racially integrated areas into a wasteland.
By way of compensation, a fraction of the jobs lost would be replaced by the high-technology GM plant on the East Side to make room for which, the wreckers balls are demolishing Poletown.
This is a community known throughout. the nation for its tenacity, noted Father Cunningham of Focus: Hope in his opening benediction., That tenacity will now face its severest test.
Other guest speakers included Ira Arlook of the Ohio Public Interest Campaign (OPIC) and outgoing Detroit Councilman Ken Cockrel. The strategy and schedule for MACO s campaign to save jobs were outlined by chairperson Virginia Davidson, Joe Estrada, Mary Bridges and Louise De La Rosa, representing some of MACO s constituent neighborhood organizations,
On May 22, several hundred MACO members will attend the GM Annual Shareholders Meeting at the Fisher Theatre to demand that GM s executives:
1. Reinvest to save and create jobs at the Cadillac Clark Avenue Plant and Fisher Body Fleetwood plant.
2. Provide incentives for automotive parts suppliers to remain in Detroit, or move to, Detroit to produce new plants.
For further information, contact MACO at 8985000.

IRISH CALL BRITISH TRAVEL BOYCOTT
Irish nationalist organizations across America called this week for a worldwide boycott of British Airways and all tourism in Britain, including Scot-land and Wales, until. peace with justice and national self-determination are realized for the Irish. people. The announcement was made in simultaneous press conferences around the country on Tuesday (May 5) following the death in Ireland of Bobby Sands, after a 66-day hunger strike. Sands, a member of the outlawed Irish Republican Army, as well as a recently elected member of the British Parliament, was protesting Britain s
refusal to grant political prisoner status to himself and other members of the IRA. Sands was serving a 14-year term in Maze Prison for illegal possession of a firearm.
In Detroit, Michael Kerwin, local president of the Irish National Caucus (INC), one of the groups promoting the boycott, explained, We believe the British will not get out of Ireland until it is more uncomfortable for them to stay than to leave. The boycott gives a way for individuals to act without having to wait for the government, INC is an American lobbying organization that includes 161 members of the U.S. Congress.
British Airways is a state- owned corporation. According to an article that appeared in Business Week earlier this year (Feb. 2, 1981), the airline has suffered from Britain s deepening recession and was expecting a $96 million revenue shortfall for the year ending March 31 and a pre-tax loss of $240 million on $5 billion in annual sales, a reversal of last year s $46.8 million profit.
Public relations person John Lample, however, downplays the significance of BA s financial picture. How does that compare to Pan Am, who lost $115 million in three months? he asked. We're having no harder a time than the rest of the industry.
According to Lample, BA supplies over a million - visitors to the United Kingdom from the United States each year. J don t think there really will be an effective boycott, he said. Just because a few Irish get upset..

MARCH IN D.C.
WASHINGTON, D.C.
As usual, thepolice underestimated the count and the organizers inflated the numbers. Whatever the reality independent estimates put it at- about 70,000 the May 3 March on the Pentagon was the most significant protest demonstration in adecade.
Called to protest the growing U.S. involvement in the El Salvador civil war and the Reagan military build up at the expense of social programs, thedemonstration s turnout surprised even the march organizers whose original permit predicted just 3,000 to 10,000 would show up.
Although there was not the pop-festival air of some of the anti-nuke demonstrations, the mood of the crowd was both relaxed and celebratory. Even the appearance.of several hundred Moonie (Unification Church) counter-demonstrators provoked only mild shouting and chants of CIA, go home.
The crowd seemed to pay little attention to the speakers most of whom appeared on similar platforms in the 1960s perhaps reflecting a need for this 80s crowd to develop its own recognizable national leadership. Receiving the loudest ovation of the day was the entrance of a group of veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Americans who fought in the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s.
While one protest demonstration will have little effect on the Reagan administration, the commitment of the crowd and the unexpected, turnout clearly encouraged the fledgling anti-war.aovement, which is already organizing future local and national actions.
On Sunday, May 17, Ronald Reagan will receive an honorary degree and address the 1981 graduates of Notre Dame. The Chicago Religious Task Force on El Salvador invites concerned people to join in a protest and rally. For further information contact Detroit CISPES at'593-1222..

In the face of stepped-up Ku Klux Klan activity nationwide and in Michigan, NAACP officials called for Klan Watch program at a statewide meeting in Battle Creek on March 30. In early and mid-April, the Detroit NAACP chapter received two separate letters claiming to be from the Detroit and Michigan _chapters of the Klan, respectively, calling for the creation of an NAACP Watch and Alert. Program.
The first letter prompted a bomb check of Cobo Hall just prior to the NAACP s annual Fight for Freedom dinner. The Flint and Lansing chapters of the NAACP.also received letters.
The communications said the NAACP Watch program was being formed to observe any suspected or known members of the NAACP, because it is suspected that the NAACP is conducting training classes for young black males in the art of assault, rape and mayhem upon elderly white citizens. The letter further stated that the NAACP is inflaming race relations more than any other group in this land, and urged anyone having knowledge of NAACP members being involved in illegal activities and conspiracies to immediately report such incidents to their local

The national administrator of the NAACP s Klan Alert, Joe Madison, says the Klan will have its work cut out for it if it plans on watching members of the NAACP. They re going to have to watch almost half a million people, Madison told Detroit Metro Times.
Asked if he sees the formation of the Klan s NAACP Watch and Alert Program as an attempt to intimidate the civil rights organization, Madison responded, They can t intimidate us. really don t know what their reason is behind that kind of propaganda other than just reflecting their stupidity.
To underline the fact that the Klan cannot intimidate _ the NAACP, Madison points to the group s efforts to stem the tide of increasing incidents of Klan activity and violence. He says the -NAACP. has launched: a campaign to get each state inthe U.S. to enact laws which would outlaw Klan paramilitary training

We are trying to get legislation passed in every single state outlawing paramilitary camps for the purpose of teaching people how to terrorize folks based on racism, asserts Madison. These camps are designed purposely for teaching people how to use explosives, how to shoot automatic weapons and teach race hate. He says such an effort on the part of state legislatures would have a substantial impact on Klan activity.
Beginning with the MontgomeryBus Boycott in 1955-56, every American has been confronted with the fundamental question of what should be the relationship between human beings. Accepting our legacy of 25 years of struggle for the advancement of humankind, we are now at a crossroads.

We've got to have a presidential commission that would immediately go around _ this country and investigate domestic racism terrorism, and then classify the Ku Klux Klan as terrorists so the federal government can take action against them. Before we can go around telling the rest of the world that we can handle terrorism in their country, we better be able to

WASHINGTON
irst-term congressmen are usually a docile breed. The lowest in seniority, they're expected to stay in the background, avoid stepping on the toes of other congressmen, confine their floor speeches to short, preferably humorous accounts of local issues or characters, establish a rapport with politicians of both parties, and if they manage to be re-elected enough times, gradually work their way into positions of power.
Try telling that to George Crockett. On May 1, the firstterm Detroit Democrat sued President Reagan, Secretary of State Alexander Haig and Defense Secretary Caspar Wein-. berger in an effort to end U.S. military involvement in El Salvador,
Its not the kind of oo designed to endear one to the Reagan administration. But for Crockett, El Salvador is.an issue too vital to wait for accumulated seniority or for a Congress to act that has become increasingly paralyzed and frightened by Reagan s seeming popularity.
In a statement announcing the suit, Crockett said the Reagan administration is making the American people accomplices to terror, brutalization of civilians. and numerous forms of inhuman practices which violate international law as codified in the Universal Declaration of Human «Rights, the American Convention on Human Rights and the Geneva Convention.
Ten other Democratic congressmen have joined Crockett as co-plaintiffs in the suit, and legal help is being provided by former Representative -Robert -Drinan and the Center for Constitutional Rights.
The suit asks the court to declare that the Reagan administration has violated U.S. and international law and to direct Reagan to immediately withdraw all troops, weapons and military supplies from El Salvador.
New Concept In Home Parties
CROCKETT SUE! REAGAN, HAIG
by Michael Mariotte
Specifically, Crockett charges Reagan with violating the U.S. Constitution by usurping the power to declare war which is granted solely to Congress; three violations of the War Power Resolution, including a provision that requires the President to withdraw armed forces in an area of hostilities within 62 days unless Congress has declared war; and disregarding human rights provisions of the Foreign Assistance Act, which forbids the supply of military aid to governments that grossly violate human rights.
Documents filed on behalf of Crockett and the other congressmen in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. provide massive evidence of the allegations. According to the documents, the 56 U.S. military personnel currently in E] Salvador are heavily involved with coordinating planning and operationsamong the five regional commands of the junta and its armed forces and also advise and coordinate the junta s armed forces in respect to particular missions and counterinsurgency _ techniques. :
The documents note that the American military personnel are armed, wear American military uniforms, and many work in and around. areas where there is heavy combat. To date, the court papers continue, there have been at least two armed attacks on locations where United States military personnel are stationed.
In considerable detail, the documents accuse the E] Salvador government of a consistent pattern of gross violations of human rights, including political assassinations, the toleration of non-governmental death squads and torture.
For example, a report prepared by the Legal Department of the Archdiocese of San Salvador and submitted with the court documents, declares that 80% of the 5,303 assassinations which occured from January through September, 1980; were committed by the El Salvador army and military police.
In stark terms, the court papers portray a goverment that rules by terror.
The killing of large numbers of people. .has also extended to churchpeople who have shown sympathy for downtrodden Sal-
vadoreans. On March 24, 1980, Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero of the Roman Catholic Church of El Salvador was assas- _ sinated while celebrating mass at his cathedral. Whén 80,000 people attended the funeral of the Archbishop, government attacks on the crowd resulted in the death of 40 people.
Union members have been special targets of government forces: The day after the present government took power, a large and heavily armed contingent of combined forces, accompanied by armored vehicles, broke into a meeting of striking miners in the capital city of San Salvador, killing Seven persons, wounding and beating an undetermined number, and detaining 90.
tn March, 35 union leaders who were attending the wake of a dead worker were killed; and: in
MEDICAL CENTER
August, 15 persons, the entire leadership of the electrical workers union at a major plant, were killed.\
The Reagan administration surely will try to delay the suit as long as possible, and should it lose in the District Court, certainly will appeal the decision. The final outcome could be months, if not years, away. But the suit is an indication that congressional opposition to Reagan s El Salvador policy is growing both stronger and bolder. And for Congressman Crockett, the suit is a clear demonstration that the. old congressional maxim to get along, go along just doesn t apply anymore.

Continued from cover
Arriving at the market on a cool spring morning, there s an appealing sense of timelessness that greets you along with the sounds and smells of people, produce andplants. A wave of the wand could change the costumes of the cast, of characters and turn the cars and trucks to horses and carts.
NEWS FEATURE
A couple argue over the price of eggs ina tongue indistinguishable to your ear. A gray-haired woman tells her grandson where to place the carrots and sassafras in order to move them quickly. A welldressed family strolls alongside one less prosperous. A kid goat appears at one stall, offered for sale to an amazed group of shoppers. If Farmer Jack could offer all this, the market might be doomed fortunately, there s little chance of that.
There have been some basic structural problems to overcome in this market which was designed to accommodate horses and carts. The city is looking into ways to combat the traffic problems that have plagued both vendors and shoppers. When the new parking structure opens on Riopelle St. next September, the constant battle for spaces should ease.
One new development is slated to open at the 14th Annual Flower Day on May 17 a year-round enclosed shed that will make winter shopping and selling more bearable and practical. Mayor Young will cut the ribbon and open the modern facility at 11 am on that Sunday morning. kk ok Ok Ok
Flower Day itself has changed. While 50,000 to 100,000 people will flood the, market in search of plants for their gardens this year, an arts and crafts fair will also vie for their attentions. Sponsored by the Eastern Market Development Corporation, the fair will feature local artisans work and be located on Winder Street.
Some visionaries see Eastern Market as a prime opportunity for tourist development. As San Francisco has attracted visitors to its Fisherman s Wharf and Ghiradelli Square, so would the market continue
what the Ren Cen and relia Ace begun.
Donna Green of the Eastern Market Development Corporation told Detroit Metro Times that the eventual goal is to move wholesale-only business away from the center of the market. Russell St. would become entirely retail, and Winder closed to traffic, she explained.
While Federal renovation grants have
helped refurbish area buildings, some private money is also involved the old E & B Brewery building on the corner of Orleans and Winder will open in the next few months as the French Quarter, a retail venture that will feature antiques and arts and crafts. If Boston s Faneuil Market-place can succeed, it seems likely that such financial risks, even in hard times, are well worth taking here in Detroit.
MARKET WHOLESALERS: WATCH PRICES CAREFULLY
The stores that surround the market sheds are a week-long source of bargains for the discriminating shopper. Many of the wholesalers either allow individuals to buy in bulk lots or offer wholesale prices on individual items.
A caveat emptor isin order, though, for those who think all prices are roughly equal at these outlets. Although its true that they do usually beat your average supermarket prices, there are some impressive differences between stores on some items.

Though these prices are subject to fluctuation, they do reflect the value of comparative shopping in the market.
HOW THE EXPERTS SHOP THE EAS TERN MARKET
Fer: and produce retailers are only in the market sheds on Saturday from 6 am until 6 pm. It doesn t make a whole lot of difference price-wise what time you come. We found surprisingly little difference in prices checked at 8 am and 4 pm on a recent Saturday. Supplies of special items may run out however, if you come late. Bring a large shopping bag with you to hold all the little bags you accumulate. It is a:good idea to walk through the market once and take note of prices, then do your buying on the way out. Prices can fluctuate greatly, and the best price on lettuce may be just a few stalls away.
The Detroit Farmers Market Report is printed three times weekly by the Bureau of Markets to serve as a guide to current prices They are available in the center of both sheds. General Provisions Ralph Brumer, the unofficial Mayor of the Market, recommends that neighbors pool their money and go inon cases, which is how you save the most. It doesn t pay to come down to buy two grapefruit. Your gas costs too much.
Cass Corridor Food Co-op buyers Tim Knoll and Tim Kalleen suggest buying from the same people every time and building up a trust rela-
tionship. This advice is reiterated by Merry Miller, a buyer for her neighborhood food club who adds that over time the relationship will pay off in the form of good advice and possible price breaks.
Riley Albritton, the ioigerie market master, says the best savings are had on produce bought in season. Knowing the seasons can mean the difference between bargains and paying as much as double for some things. He also said that if you re interested in buying as much as possible from the growers who come from the 250-mile radius area, they are mostly to be found along the north-south corridor of the sheds. The farmers are given preferential treatment in stall assignment over the dealers who buy from the wholesale produce terminal. Albritton s department, the Bureau of Markets, will take complaints from angered consumers, though he says these are rare.
Finally, dealers Sal Vultaggio and Carlo Ciaramitaro -told us that market prices aren t necessarily the absolute cheapest they charge the same-for the fruit they sell at their Almont, Michigan, store. Pricing depends on the current market levels and, of course, supply and demand.

GUIDE FOR BUYING VEGETABLES: SQUEEZE A VEGETABLE TODAY!
Artichokes: Buy them dark green with tightly closed leaves.
Asparagus: Should have firm green stalks with smooth, tight tips.
Beets: Fresh leaves are usually an indicator of quality.
Broccoli: Its pretty hard to buy bad broccoli. Pick heads with tight buds and short stems.
Bell pepper: Green or red, they should be firm and smooth. Avoid waxed ones.
Brussel sprouts: Should be green, not yellow, and should be tightly closed.
Carrots: You know they re fresh when they aren t sprouting white fur.
Cauliflower: Choose a head without brown spots.
Cucumbers: Choose dark green ones,, with no soft spots or wrinkles. It s common for markets to wax them so that they will look shiny
and therefore supposedly more attractive to. naive consumers. In this case they should be peeled, since it is almost impossible to remove this wax simply by scrubbing with soap.
Eggplant: Should be satiny smooth and firm. This is another one that you may find waxed, so beware.
Mushrooms: In a class by themselves. Theyhave been around for ages and were once thought to be the food of the Gods. During Caesars reign, there was a law pertaining to their grading and sale. There are so many varieties that it is hard to say what they should look like when you buy (or pick) them, but generally they should be firm, with tightly closed caps and no brown spots.
Onions: Buy firm ones with no sprouts on top. Susan Stone

Parthenon Cake comes from afamily recipe that Tom Peristeris mother used to make in his childhood in Mouzakion, Greece. Peristeris now serves the multi-layered delicacy at his Old Parthenon Restaurant, with pineapple instead of the original apple, but otherwise the heirloom is intact and splendid. Peristeris declined to explain the ingredients of the heavenly topping which tasted like rich, stiff whipped cream (perhaps with egg whites added? He'll never tell...) and was sprinkled with cinnamon. Successive layers feature a mellow custard, more cinnamon, the aforementioned fruit and moist sponge cake (which Peristeris again declined to explain). What he did tell us is that when New York Magazine asked, he didn't tell them either. At 95¢ the piece, the super strata should definitely become a part of your gastronomic tour of Greektown. (Old Parthenon Restaurant, 579 Monroe, 961-5111, S-Th, 11-3 am; F-Sa, 11-4 am.)

(x**W)- boule Malle DAYS
remarkably perceptive vision of the bulldozing of an older, romantic way of life and the erection of new, sanitized, heartless, corporatecasino existence is pleasingly entertaining, sometimes Altman-like, tour de force. Using the destruction and rebirth of Atlantic City as backdrop and metaphor, John Guare s story examines what happens when 30s gangster groupie and small-time numbers runner (Burt Lancaster) gets mixed up with an aspiring legal blackjack dealer (Susan Sarandon), her cosmically insipid young sister (Hollis McLaren), and their jointly owned husband Dave, a luckless cocaine dealer from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Must viewing for anyone considering bringing casino gambling to Detroit, Atlantic City is frightening and entertaining all at once. It's richly interwoven, flawlessly executed story that says more than any movie in memory about what is really happening to American culture in an era where what was once sinful is now practiced by nuns and Boy Scouts, and the state skims off fixed percentage of everyone's lives while giving the citizenry the illusion of being participants in the game. A movie like the movies which they don t make movies like anymore.

HEAVEN. (x**xZWW) Terrence
Malik's stunning imagery of the American prairies dwarfs everything else in his eloquent film about love and work in the real West.Brooke Adams and Richard Gere are the lovelorn principals, but the real star is cinematographer Nestor Almenros. Days of Heaven is a cinematic poem of great lushness and epic scope, accompanied by free-verse narration read by teenage sister Linda Manz, who puts ynese in Montana. (Encore Cinema

(*+) pervasive and refreshing feminist perspective gently guides this story about the emotional separation and - reconciliation of an aging pair of Jewish immigrants from Russia (Melvyn Douglas and Lila Kedrova). Lee Grant makes her directorial debut in this adaptation ofa Tillie Olsen novella, and the result in film produced and edited - by women as well speaks volumes about the need for more woman-made films. So accustomed have we become to the bang-bang male style of film exposition that the quiet, simple style of the opening frames is totally disarming. The film does not flinch from depicting the severe isolation and loneliness that old age can bring, andit is deeply disturbing and exhilirating all at once, raising the Beatles question
Ahere are flaws: Brooke Adams, as the hip WestCoast granddaughter, is a hopelessly stereotyped prop; Kedrova's lines and delivery are. often over-theatrical, though her face is a marvel of emotions; and there are occasional lapses into the land of cliches. Still in all, it's like breath of fresh airin stuffy theatre poisoned by the sex and violence

BLUEGRASS BASH BECKONS
by Katy Rose O Donnellan
Now that warm weather is here, many folks are thinking about outdoor music festivals. Here in the Detroit area, thousands of people come out every weekend for Hart Plaza s ethnic festivals. All summer long, people will drive north to sit on Pine Knob s lawn for an evening concert. And last year, over 6,000 people attended WDET's First Annual Motor City Bluegrass Festival during Memorial Day weekend.
As people get tired of listening to one kind of music all the time and look for other music, many folks discover bluegrass. 2 -
That s why there are so many new bluegrass bands. A lot of em used to play in rock n roll bands and they're sick of it. So they get together and play bluegrass, he says.
ging to anyone who wants to learn, says McDaniel.
The lineup includes Dave Evans and River Bend, the Hotmud Family, Wendy Smith and Blue Velvet, the Reel World String Band, Stoney Creek, Footloose, John Hunley s Kentuckians and the Lost World String Band.
It holds 240 people and its packed every weekend, says Fay McGinnis. She believes a large part of their success is that Roy likes to bring musicians from the audience on stage to play. We welcome people with instruments, she added.
Out in Pontiac, Griffs Grill presents a good variety of musicians every weekend. Owners Al and Diane Winkler have booked local, state and outstate bands of different musical backgrounds.
Southeastern Michigan has seen the arrival of many Southerners in the past years coming north for jobs. Bringing their traditions and music with them, it was natural to eventually organize bluegrass festivals here, gathering groups of food.
McDaniel, with WDET, produced the successful festival last yeat and is excited about this year.
It'll be at Meadow Brook again, and we're featuring eight bands plus the Costabella Cloggers, who will teach clog-
Bluegrass fans don't have to wait for festivals to enjoy live music, however. Several area bars feature live bluegrass music every Friday and Saturday night.
Little Caesar's on Eureka and Dix in Southgate has hosted Roy McGinnis and the Sunnysiders since 1974.

A unique feature of bluegrass feativals is that musicians are encouraged to bring their mandolins, fiddles, banjoes, etc. and pick together under the trees or in the parking lot. Impromptu dancing, singing and playing bring people together and create an air of excitement.
Organized bluegrass festivals began in the South around 1965. The United States now has over 600 festivals between May and October every year. Here in Michigan, Roy and Fay McGinnis hosted their first festival in 1969 in a town called Onstead, located near the Irish Hills.
Local interest in bluegrass music has mushroomed in the last few years, according to Larry McDaniel, host of WDET's Arkansas Traveler program.

Robert Gordon Are You Gonna Be The One? RCA Records
I used to be of the opinion that Robert Gordon was a solid rockabilly performer (some of his shows have Se nectar some extremely high energy), but little else. A couple of DMT issues ago, when talking about the new Joe Ely album, I compared Ely and Gordon to Gordon's detriment, which was unfair and a little overblown, of course.
My opinion has changed somewhat with the release of this new album. When reading some interviews that he'd given during his last big tour, came away with the impression that he was impatient with people who typecast him with such camp acts as ShaNaNa and the multitude of Elvis impersonators. He really is serious about his craft, and he is creating something new from an old form.
With his new album, Are You Gonna Be The One? he actually demonstrates a strong sense for pop on some tunes, and he reaffirms his grasp of the rock/ country aspects of rockabilly on others. Robert Gordon really does a good job when he s redoing a standard like Look Who's Blue, but he also is good enough to communicate with fans of Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds when he does songs like Someday, Someway. The title tune and Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die are propulsive rockers, while Drivin
Wheel is more in the country time warp style, sort of like Sun Records, New York branch. With his LP, Rockabilly Boogie, he added guitar ace Chris Spedding to his crew in place of rockabilly legend Link Wray. As a result, the guitar playing still rocked but it had some pop elements in it. Gordon's band, the Wildcats, is pretty lean sounding, and the guitar players fit the music at least as well as the nowdeparted Spedding. In. some tunes, the guitars are what make the song pop.
- On May 23 at the Vanity Ballroom, Detroiters have a chance
to get a live taste of Gordon's music. Also on the bill are local circuit favorites Steve Nardella and the Rockabilly Cats. All told, this could be your chance to drag those blue suede shoes out of the closet and put them to good use.
Robert Gordon's shows are notorious for the energy generated both on the stage and off of it. He also has himself a powerful set of lungs to push a strong voice. Nardella, who also includes some fine harmonica playing in his sets, and the Rockabilly Cats should make for a rockin good night.

Chaka Khan
What Cha Gonna Do For Me
Warner Brothers
Misuse can be
Her many imitators notwithstanding and they are becoming legion Chaka Khan stands alone in many respects. Her voice is like so much dynamite and must be handled with care. hazardous. Khan, essentially a free spirit musically (and perhaps otherwise), soars like an eagle with that voice but can tone down to levels of tenderness.
One key to her effectiveness is knowing when to soar and when to be tender. So, kudos to Chaka and her latest producer, Arif Mardin, for their work and good judgment on What Cha Gonna Do For Me, her third solo album and easily her best.
This LP is a listener s delight, with gems seemingly tumbling out one after the other (at times) like, for example, I Know You, Live You, Heed'the Warning, Any Old Sunday, the title cut and the adventurous reworking of the Beatles We Can Work It Out, which adds several new dimensions to that classic song. But the real showpiece was pulled from a long time ago in the '40s (to quote Chaka), an exciting new rendition of And the Melody Still Lingers On (Night In Tunisia), the Dizzy Gillespie classic- Diz himself is featured on this cut, playing the trumpet like the master he is, but there is yet another surprise. Blending in ever so smoothly is a four-bar alto sax solo by Charlie Parker, pulled from the late legend's 1946 recording of the same song.. Some might wonder whether or not Chaka Khan is ready or qualified for such endeavors as And the Melody Still Lingers On. You bet she is.

DETROIT ON WAX
When Ron Williams contacted me about writing an occa sional column on local records, was more than flattered, but rather hesitant about the idea. am more than just a little prejudiced in favor of the local music and recording scene, having been involved in a substantial number of area projects over the last few years. I told Ron that I wouldn't review records (I just enjoy them) but would be more than happy to inform the public about them as they are released.
Although Iam very eclectic in my musical taste, have a chip. on my shoulder when it comes to Michigan music and regional independent recording in general, and go to bat for such efforts often. The Detroit/Ann Arbor area has a wellspring of talented people who have been plying their skills in a wide variety of styles from blues to new wave, in clubs and listening rooms for years.
A sizable number have put down a piece of themselves on record (I've personally logged over 200 releases since 1976).
As we begin the 80s, this process is continuing at an astonishing rate (35 listings in this column), as many previously unrecorded artists and groups are either entering the studio for the first time or readying material for release very soon
now on tour with Garland Jeffreys.
a veritable vinyl explosion is upon us! When this many people take matters into their own hands and choose to do it themselves, especially with something like making records, it becomes apparent that all is not well within the established or accepted mainstream of the industry. Today the major labels are running scared. Sales are down andthe Salad Days are over. Through some twisted logic or some accountant s, advice, they consistently go for the platinum banana, with artists who have a proven track record. They are cutting loose most marginal or cult status musicians. This leaves the young or struggling (hungry) local artist very few options but to get his/her/their music out any way they can. Enter, independent recording and self-promotion.
Chances are good that most of the recordings listed in this column won't be emanating from the speakers of your radio (with the exception of WDET!). Local radio, contrary to what they tell you, is about as innovative and open as their big brothers in the majors are in spotting new trends and worthy artists to develop.
(Lt. Columbo's Big Time Radio Tip No. 1: If you are a recognized act, who is afraid of falling off the cocain train, how
MUSIC
about recording a live album at Cobo Hall? Don't forget to tell your rapt audience, Detroit We Love You. Not only will Detroit radio play it to death, but every other head-banger within a 50 mile radius will buy it and the rest will tape it!)
Most Detroiters have had a long-standing problem of not recognizing what they have in their own backyard until the rest of the world says it's acceptable. As a good friend of mine says, Detroit is a lunch-box town with a lunch mentality. I'd like to see area record buyers prove him wrong!
For you audiophiles out there who read the word independent as inferior, or for those who need 36 tracks to assuage your two ears: to be quite frank, it's your loss. We are now witnessing an independent recording renaissance like nothing since the end of World War II and the fifties.
Not so very long ago in England, labels such as Virgin and Stiff were tiny backroom operations. In the case of Stiff, Jake Rivera literally worked out ofthe trunk of his car distributing his label, and as we know now his instincts were right. Under his guidance and care (when no one else gave a damn), Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe are now on their way to becoming household words.

URBAN GARDENING
by Nancy E. Smith and J. Lee Taylor
From the Cooperative Extension Service of Michigan State University and the 4-H Growing Roots Program.
Think of a lush green patch of lettuce and collards, a lacy row of carrots or plump red tomatoes and peppers waiting to be picked. No one is likely to eat better than the home gardener who has a well-planned: and cared for garden. A garden also provides recreation an evening in your green patch can be relaxing after a long day at work.
Locate the garden near your home so you can work it when you have a few spare minutes. Sunny level land is best, but gentle slopes will do. South-facing slopes are the sunnrifest.
Plan your garden on paper first. Your plan should include arrangement of crops, length-of rows, spacing of rows and between plants, varieties to be planted and a planting timetable.
Don't worry if you don t have much space. An area as small as acompact car can be more fun and fruitful than a large garden several blocks or miles away. If you don't have a car, use your imagination. ~
Use containers on a balcony. The best containers may be lying around the house or garage. Dented pails, tubs, barrels and plastic wastebaskets are fine for container gardening.
The right container depends on the size of the vegetable. Six-inch pots are fine for small plants likes chives. A tomato plant needs at least a five-gallon container or the soil will dry out too fast.
Lettuce, turnips, greens, pole or snap beans, onions, radishes, bush squash and tomatoes produce a lot in a small space: Vine crops like cucumbers can be trained to climb a cage or pole.
Successive and companion cropping can also increase your yield. Grow two -crops in the same space one after another. A late cfop like beets can be grown in the same space as an earlier crop like lettuce. Companion cropping means growing two crops in the same space at the same time. Early harvested

Plants in containers need to Be fertilized often. If you are working a conventional plot, you should also fertilize when you prepare the soil.
When you buy seed, look for recommended varieties packaged by companies located in states with climates like Michigan's. Or buy quality transplants, selecting short stocky plants. Buy the seedlings about a week before planting, using the week to harden them off by setting them outside for afew hours each day. Transplant in the evening or on a cloudy day:
You can plant warm season crops within the next two weeks: eggplant, lima beans, muskmelon, okra, peppers, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, watermelon, squash and cucumbers. All of these will be available at Flower Day this Sunday at Eastern Market.

Two programs tailored to assist the urban gardener are currently underway in Detroit: 4-H Growing Roots and FarmA-Lot. Though you may have heard that Farm-A-Lot was offering free seeds to would-be farmers, you've missed your chance supplies ran out last week. Still, you can enroll and/or get a permit to cultivate a vacant lot in your neighborhood from any of the neighborhood city halls. Call 224-3098 for information. Farm-A-Lot farmers will also be able to compete in a city-wide judging in midsummer, a special category at the State Fair and a Harvest Festival August 22 at the Belle Isle Bandshell. Growing Roots will provide a gardener with ongoing information like the above, provide midtion and even give you recipes with which to enjoy your produce. Call 9215080 or 921-8800 to enroll.

ROZEMA FINDS THE by Tom Walker STRIKE ZONE. 22s

The rain was coming down pretty hard. Tuesday evening s contest between the Yankees and Tigers was in danger of being called off completely. It was the eve of the Tigers ninth consecutive loss, and the mood ofthe team could be compared to that of the recreation director on the Titanic.
Dave Rozema held court with a group of anxious fans outside the clubhouse door. He tried his best to conduct himself with restraint, but the irrepressible Dave Rozema would probably find it difficult to remain subdued at a funeral.
I'm more serious now because | really realize in my mind that I got a job and want to keep it I don t want to mess it up, he explained, dismissing his entourage. I can keep everybody loose around the clubhouse, but as of right mow, I do that when we're going good, but lately we've lost eight in a row and you tryto be quiet and just go about your - own business. 2
Dave cannot forget that not long ago he was voted Least Likely to Succeed by the Tiger brain trust. Most of last season found him struggling to get out of Manager Sparky Anderson's doghouse. It was last season when demoted from the starting rotation to the bullpen as a reliefer that Dave began to force himself to change.
Two years had been lost to the righthander from the severe soreness in his arm. His fall from grace, maddeningly similar to his good friend and fellow free. spirit Mark Fidrych s own misfortune, seemed complete. Not only couldn't he manage to keep his pitches down, Sparky was none too pleased. with his layed-back attitude toward Sparky's rules.
It was in the bullpen and the doghouse that Rozema made his peace with Sparky and tried to make the best of
relief pitching. His outings became consistently effective, establishing a 2 and 4 record, but also knocking his earned-run average down to a respectable 2.59. After an appropriate length of penance, he was given the chance to redeem himself as a starter this year. Rozema was ready.
There was a game we pitched against LA, Bird and I, where we shut em out and it seemed like started to throw really good at that point, Rozema told Detroit Metro Times. I kept the ball down and my slider was breaking good, _ and it just carried on within the whole season after that. Ijust really seemedlike concentrating more on the target, keeping the ball down, and things started working out.
T had a few shutout innings in spring training, and Sparky told me I made the team, and was going to come up asa long reliever. Before you know it, he told me I was a starter.
That, as they say on Broadway, was the start of something big.
The young man who showed sé much promise when he broke in the league with the Tigers in 1977 is once again on the League champion Royals in Kansas City under his belt, Rozema was the one to stop the Tiger losing streak in Seattle two days later with another shutout.

Even his often stormy relationship.with Sparky Anderson appears to be at the height of pleasantness. I'm pitching good for him and he can't complain about what I m doing, Rozema reaon time and that s his rules.
Success is a heady sensation. For Dave Rozema it is particularly sweet. Never a fireballer, his victories have: always depended upon his ability to finesse his pitches beyond danger.
Te always had good concentration or a good strike zone anyway, Rozema said. They get a lot of hits.off me, and 1. don't walk too many people. If walk a few then the basehits come up and the guys are on third and first, and can't have that.
