Annual Camp Fair
set for next Saturday
From sports to space adventures, the best
camp options available this summer for chil-
dren of all ages can be found during Canton
Leisure Services annual CampFair. The free
event is scheduled to take place from 10 a.m.
until noon on Saturday, March 8 at the
Summit on the Park, located at 46000
Summit Parkway.
This historically well-attended annual
Camp Fair will provide busy parents with
valuable information regarding camp avail-
ability, daily and weekly activities, cost and
more. Whether parents are looking for day
camps or camps with special themes, they'll
be able to talk directly with camp organizers
and register their children for plenty of sum-
mer fun, according to Jennifer Girard, a
recreation specialist with the township.
Registration for most Canton Leisure
Services summer camps begins at the Camp
Fair and online at 10 a.m. on Saturday,
March 8. Early registration is the best way to
avoid spending the summer on a lengthy
waitlist, Girard said.
Some of the summer camps offered this
season include: Camp Canton - Award-win-
ning Youth Summer Camp Leisure Services
Preschool Camps - Princess Camp,
Grossology Mini Camp, Kindergarten Boot
Camp Therapeutic Recreation - Special
Needs Camps for both youth and adults

Volleyball, Basketball, and Tennis Camps

retrieve sunken treasure The BLOCK - Road
trips and summer hang-outs for teens.
There will also be face painting, a bounce
house, and other games and activities to
keep children occupied. Representatives
from 25 different camps will be onsite to
answer questions. Take advantage of the
early BirdPricing for CampCanton - register
for nine weeks and get the 10th week free.
The offer is only available in-person at the
CampFair or online onMarch 8.

tonfun.org or call (734) 394-5460.
groups of the current school into an arts
and sports center as a viable and ongoing
project demonstrating the consolidation of
services required as a condition of the
grant.
We cannot help but recall the virulent
and saliva-fueled shouts of Township
Treasurer Ron Edwards at a meeting in
January complaining about the PARC plan
and the vote to ban any joint agreement
with the city of Plymouth until 2016.
According to the grant application, howev-
er, the city and township currently share a
fire department which hasn't been the situ-
ation for more than two years. The town-
ship also claims to have eliminated a
recreation director in an effort to consoli-
date expenses, too. That must have been
easy, since they didn't have such an
employee. The grant application doesn't
mention the nearly $100,000 township offi-
cials set aside to start a new recreation
department, something that is the opposite
of the stated grant criteria.
Maybe a clerk prepared the application
and simply copied an old one…but in that
case, shouldn't someone have reviewed it
for accuracy? We don't know who pre-
pared it and suspect that there will be sev-
eral conflicting answers to that question,
but whoever did, andwhoever allowed it to
go to the state in that form deserves some
serious censure, despite the claims of
allowable updating.
If Reaume, or any other official knew
this application was faulty and included
these falsehoods, the word fraud comes
immediately tomind.
If Reaume didn't knowor only found out
later, the terms that spring immediately to
mind are mismanagement and malfea-
sance.
But apparently, only to lay people like
us. Officials at the state level appear to
have no problem being handed applica-
tions like these and there seems to be no
plan or procedure to disallow the tax
money that will flow into Plymouth
Township based on this misinformation
and lack of accuracy.
Or perhaps, enforcing the rules as stat-
ed on the application is simply too much
work for the overburdened folks in the
state treasury department. Perhaps, like
whomever prepared this latest work of fic-
tion that is the Plymouth Township appli-
cation, they are just way too busy to be bur-
denedwith accuracy.
After all, it isn't theirmoney. It's yours.
