Canton inducts newest member into Hall of Fame
Children’s safety workshop set
Canton Township Supervisor
Phil LaJoy inducted Herb Scott
into the Canton Hall of Fame
recently noting that Scott is one
of the volunteers who has made
the community of 90,000 resi-
dents the success it is today.
Scott, who moved to the town-
ship from New York in 1974, has
been a volunteer in the commu-
nity nearly since day one. He is
now the executive vice president
of a pharmaceutical company,
and is the father of four daugh-
ters and the grandfather of six.
His volunteer involvement
includes his membership on the
Canton Commission for Culture,
Arts and Heritage, a group
formed in 2004 to promote visual
arts, drama, music, dance, histor-
ical heritage and humanities. He
also served on the Canton
Community Foundation and
established a fund to help non-
profits in the community. He and
his wife, Olivia, recently helped
fund a Michigan Philharmonic
Middle Eastern concert during
the Canton Acts of Culture Week
through their fund.
His favorite effort, right now,
is his involvement with the
Fallen and Wounded Soldier
Fund, an all-volunteer effort to
help injured servicemen and
women pay their expenses while
waiting for their federal benefits.
Scott is a charter member of the
group and said that this effort is a
real concern for himasmany dis-
charged veterans wait years to
receive their benefits and face
serious financial hardships
including foreclosure proceed-
ings on their homes or reposses-
sion of their vehicles during that
time.
Scott also served on the
Governor's Council on Physical
Fitness, Health and Sports,
worked on the formation of the
Canton 100 Days to Health pro-
gram with St. Joseph Mercy
Health System and also served
on the United Home Health
Services, an affiliate of Garden
City Hospital that helps provides
home health services to low-
income residents.
If that work doesn't keep him
busy, he serves as the president
of Western Wayne Habitat for
Humanity and is amember of the
Canton Lions Club. He has trav-
eled to Central America and
Mexico with the club to build
churches and administer med-
ical anddental programs.
Scott told the crowd assem-
bled at the Summit on the Park
during his induction ceremony
that being named to the Canton
Hall of Fame was probably the
best honor he had ever received,
“except for my children.” He also
told the crowd that he didn't
expect to curtail his volunteer
efforts anytime soon.
“I'm sure it's going to contin-
ue,” he said.

Warm welcome

when Bernard Brosnan, center, took his oath of office. Like all new
firefighter/paramedics in Canton, Brosnan successfully completed three months
of mentored orientation and training prior to joining an assigned shift. New fire-
fighters are on probation for one year while they complete an extensive training
program, noted Fire Chief Joshua Meier, left. Deputy Fire Chief Christopher
Stoecklein, right, also congratulated Brosnan.
