The Village Theater at CherryHill will
exhibit “Narrative Quilts: Works by
PaulineParker,” a solo showof wall hang-
ings and watercolors in the Gallery@VT
now throughMarch 31.
Visual storytelling meshes with design
in Parker's exhibition, featuring quilts
and watercolors created between 1987
and 2003. Using a collage style of
appliqué design to delve into epic themes
from biblical narratives to women's tales
to contemporary scenes, Parker portrays
these timeless stories.
Hailing from Alton, IL, this lifelong
painter currently resides in Minneapolis,
MN, and is still a prolific artist working
well into her 90s. As a student of the Art
Institute of Chicago, Parker studied land-
scape painting in the 1930s, and contin-
ued to create plein-air paintings through-
out her life. Several of Parker's paintings
have been shown at the Art Institute of
Chicago; both her paintings and quilts
have also been exhibited around the
Midwest.
Sixteen narrative quilts will be on
exhibit at The Village Theater at Cherry
Hill, as well as six framed watercolor
paintings, which are also available for
purchase, from her range of work span-
ning 50 years.

laboration supports this current exhibi-

Canton Police are cautioning resi-
dents about continued fraudulent tele-
phone calls from individuals claiming to
be a representative of the IRS, INS or
other government agency.
Government agencies and financial
institutions to not ever call residents and
demand information, police said, and
residents need to be aware of this scam
that is being reported across the country.
A police spokesman also said that resi-
dents should be cautious and never give
out financial information over the
phone, particularly Social Security num-
bers, bank account or credit card infor-
mation.
Police suggest that anyone receiving
one of these calls call the agency the
individual claims to represent back at a
number provided on a legitimate finan-
cial document or records. Do not call the
number provided on a caller identifica-
tion device as these individuals are pro-
gramming the caller identification sys-
tems with false information to make it
appear as if they are genuinely calling
fromthe agency they claimto represent
If you believe you have been the vic-
tim of a phone scam, residents should
contact the Canton Police Department at
(734) 394-5400. If you believe you've been
the victim of a fraudulent income tax
return filing you can also contact the IRS
directly at 1-800-829-1040, police said.

Society, Inc. Ott, a Plymouth resident and
retired General Motors Human Resources
executive, is a breast cancer survivor and
longtime volunteer for the organization. As a

provide critical leadership and support for

“Cheri is a passionate advocate who is

cer, Lakeshore Division, American Cancer
Society. “We welcome Cheri's support of our
mission, and the important role she will

Prior to retiring fromGeneral Motors, Ott

National Partner in 2011, the first year the
company raisedmore than $1million for the
effort. The partnership also garnered the
ACS Corporate Impact Award for
Excellence in Philanthropy in 2012 and
2013.
“I know firsthand that the time spent
raising awareness and funds to support the
American Cancer Society is making a differ-
ence in the lives of so many people who are
touched by cancer, and I want to be a part of
history by finishing the fight and ending this
disease,” saidOtt.
The horses may be about two weeks
late crossing the finishing line, but odds

and the expense in light of conditions at
the fire department during public meet-
ings formonths. Reaume also admitted to
multiple false statements on a state grant
application and was integral in a failed
$600,000 land purchase from the City of
Detroit which a judge recently voided.
Reaume's handling of fire department
staffing and union negotiations has also
been the subject of public criticism and
questions from the public during meet-
ings.
Sources close to the situation said that
Reaume's decision may have been has-
tened by a loud altercation between
township Treasurer Ron Edwards and
Police Chief Tom Tiderington which took
place last week in Tiderington's office.
The argument, overheard by several peo-
ple, was apparently about the accounting
procedures Edwards has implemented
regarding the drug forfeiture funding in
the police department, the subject of the
ongoing federal audit. Tiderington did
not respond to requests for comment.
Reaume, vacationing in Florida,
reportedly would have to face another
conflict involving Edwards, who is cur-
rently named in an assault charge by
township resident Mary Ann McLaren.
McLaren said she was accosted by
Edwards when collecting recall signa-
tures at township hall in mid-February.
That incident is part of an ongoing crimi-
nal investigation, which has been turned
over to the state police byTiderington.
In July 2011, Edwards loudly berated a
police 911 dispatcher regarding a traffic
tie up after July 4th fireworks, causing
public criticism. In 2010, Edwards physi-
cally assaulted then Township Clerk Joe
Bridgman in a widely publicized inci-
dent. According to court records,
Edwards has been successfully sued by
female township employees, resulting in
financial settlements.
Edwards did not return calls seeking
comment by press time.
At the meeting Saturday, after the
appointment of a president pro-tem from
the current elected board members, the
board is expected to begin the process of
interviewing individuals interested in
filling Reaume's unexpired term. It is
expected the board will ask any interest-
ed township resident to submit a letter
detailing their interest in the job.
If no successor to Reaume is appoint-
ed 45 days following his resignation, the
Wayne County clerk can call a special
election to fill the post, according to state
law.
Current State Rep. Kurt Heise has
expressed his interest in the $111,384
position and said that he feels “the town-
ship is in crisis.” Heise said that if he is
appointed as township supervisor, hewill
“regretfully” give up his state representa-
tive position, leaving anunexpired term.
Reaume will be prohibited from vot-
ing onhis successor by state election law.

their new position as a Canton police offi-
cer, Mutchler said.
