A special “wish tree” has been
installed in the lobby of the Summit deco-
rated with tags designating items needed
to help the therapeutic recreation pro-
gramat the facility.
The items include stress balls, garden-
ing tools, art and craft supplies, puzzles,
books, gift cards and specialty sensory
integration items, all important to the suc-
cess of the program but not included in
the budget.
The program serves 150 disabled indi-
viduals from throughout western Wayne
County each year and provides help in the
form job-building skills, swimming, holi-
day dances, movies and other activities.
The activities are all designed to help dis-
abled people become more independent
and increase their social skills. The pro-
gram includes activities for those with a
wide range of physical and cognitive dis-
abilities, officials said.
Once again this year, the $75,000Wayne
County grant that funds the program is in
question. Without the funding from the
county, the programwill be reduced or be
forced to increase fees, officials said.
The program serves people ages 15
and older year-round and, during summer
months, it expands to include children 8-
14 years old.
Monetary donations are also welcome
and checks can be made payable to the
Canton Community Foundation with
Camp A.B.L.E. in the memo line, and
mailed to the Canton Community
Foundation, 50430 School House Road,
Suite 200, CantonTownship, MI 48187.

The Village Theater at Cherry Hill will
present "Dream Creatures," a mixed
media solo exhibition featuring the works
of Took Gallagher through Jan. 31 in the
Gallery@VT.
Displayed works include collages, plas-
ter cloth sculptures, and hand-sewn items
turned into dreamlike creatures based on
the images the artist has seen emerge
from the layers of paper, paint, and cloth
that wereused inher pieces.
Gallagher is a self-taught artist whose
inspiration comes from many sources,
including song lyrics, fairy tales, dreams,
and misheard snippets of passing conver-
sations, according to a prepared release.
This self-taught artist allows these influ-
ences to work their way into her art sub-
consciously, which provides the artist with
much surprise at the final results, the
release continued.
This multi-media art exhibit at the
Gallery@VT is free and open to the public
from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Monday - Friday
and during public performances at the
theater. The Gallery@VT is closed on hol-
idays.

The Canton Police Department is
beginning a new program, Partners in
Your Safety, designed to build a partner-
ship with law enforcement and neighbor-
hoods, promoting problem solving and
creating safer neighborhoods.
Partners in Your Safety will empower
individual neighborhoods with the
resources and tools necessary to succeed
in creating a safe community, officials said
in a prepared release. Participating neigh-
borhoods will have the opportunity to
achieve accreditation status upon comple-
tion of the programrequirements.
According to the release, the involve-
ment of individuals residing in each
neighborhood is vital to the success of the
program. As residents become more
involved, they will become aware of inci-
dents and issues occurring in their neigh-
borhoods. In turn, they will be able to
move in a direction of crime reduction
and prevention, with the guidance and
assistance of the Canton Police
Department.
For additional information, or to start
the program in a neighborhood, contact
Community Relations Officer Patty
Esselink at (734)394-5194 or email her at
