c OMMUNIT Y FOCUS Is People by Kevin Burke FOCUS is a senior high youth group centered at the First Presbyterian Church of Birmingham, made up primar- ily of students in grades 9 through 12. Although FOCUS has a predominantly Seaholm population, many members come from other areas of the Birming- ham community ranging from Farming- ton High to Cranbrook Academy. It is this diversity that gives FOCUS its flavor. FOCUS is geared specifically to accommodate the differences between peoples. The group being Christian, it obviously centers on the teachings of Christ; however, the philosophy followed by the group is more of an unconditional love. It is the ultimate goal of each person in FOCUS to accept others for what they are regardless of race, color, or creed. Popularity is not a concern and, therefore, much of the pressure is alleviated from the members to maintain an image and reputa- tion. Said sophomore Ann Basile, I feel I can open up and talk to people and be myself. FOCUS has grown from 24 active members just two years ago to about 120 active members to date. FOCUS has provided the students of this community with a place to unwind and just be themselves. Amidst this sea of smiling faces, many Seaholm students can be found- This large gathering of Focus members congregated at Camp Skyline with the common goal of facing the growing problem of world hunger.

Martin c OMMUNIT ry Detroit ' s Newest Attraction by Lance Miller Have you ever had one of those evenings where it seems like there ' s absolutely nothing exciting to do? Well, if this situation has ever happend to you, then consider taking a car ride to one of the newest additions to the city of Detroit, Trappers Alley. Trappers Alley is located on Mon- roe street in downtown Detroit, right in the heart of Greektown. It is a single building consisting of three floors that hold many different and entertaining shops where one can spend hours just looking at the great variety of stores. Besides shopping, there is also a whole collection of small cafes, ready to please an exhausted shopper ' s hunger. The types of restaurants one can try are Greek, Chinese, Italian, and delicates- sens, among others. There are also several ice cream and candy shops to satisfy any sweet tooth. When asked what she liked most about Trappers Alley, sophomore Heidi Hatcher said, It ' s a great place to go and be with your friends. It has all kinds of stores to please just about every- body. Although the location of Trappers Alley is not the most convenient, the new mall is slowly becoming more popular with the students of Seaholm. With its pleasant atmosphere and great diversity of restaurants and shops, Trappers Alley is attracting more and more people to downtown Detroit. Blazing brightly in the evening sky. the Trappers Alley sign entices people of all kinds, including Seaholm students, to enter into it ' s magical world of shops and cafes. pho ' o by J O ' Malies COMMUNITY ADS 267
