existing prior to the project will not be corrected except where said modification is necessary to protect the life
of the road pavement. Existing water problems, such as standing water, etc., outside of the roadway will not be
resolved by this program. It is further understood that this alternate, if permitted by the County of Wayne,

Deer Creek Circle/ Deer Creek Run, then continues to proceed along Deer Creek Circle northeasterly, norther-
ly, northwesterly, and southwesterly around the circle road approximately 2,320 feet to the intersection of Buck
Run Drive, then proceeds southerly and easterly along Deer Creek Run approximately 1,850 feet to the inter-

Plymouth Community United Way
(PCUW) needs volunteers to clean yards
and do light chores in Plymouth, and
Plymouth and Canton townships on
Saturday, April 30 during the RakeNGo
event.
Rake N Go is organized in partner-
ship with Plymouth Community Council

help senior citizens and those with dis-
abilitieswith yard care.
Volunteers will meet on the day of the
event at Plymouth First United
Methodist Church for a continental
breakfast and instructions.

are asked to bring rakes, garden tools
and gloves, and have their own trans-
portation to travel between homes.
United Way will supply the yard waste
bags which will be distributed at the
church.
Leaf blowers are a great help with
larger yards, according to a spokesper-
son.
All ages are welcome, but those
younger than 18 need to be accompa-
niedby an adult.
To volunteer, call Randi Williams at
(734) 453-6879, ext. 7 or e-mail

Plans for a newKellogg Park fountain
in downtown Plymouth were presented
to members of the Downtown
Development Authority (DDA) at a
meeting lastmonth.
According to a spokesman, the DDA
is embarking on a major program to
make upgrades to both the park and the
fountain. "This is aDDA led project with
the hope of having the upgrades com-
pleted by July 2017, in time for the city's
150th anniversary," he said in a pre-
pared statement.
The DDA, in cooperation with the
Wilcox Foundation, is funding the initial
design concepts and has previously
accepted proposals from a number of
firms. Members of the DDA selected the
design team from Russell Designs of
Northville and WESCO Fountains of
Florida to begin the conceptual designs
for the project, which is expected to cost
$1million.
Funding for the improvements and
the new fountain will be raised through
private and community funding, accord-
ing to the statement.
The preliminary designs were
revealed at the Feb. 29 meeting and the
input of the public along with comments
regarding the plans is being sought. The
plans can be found at
plymouth.org/DocumentCenter/View/33

Until final designs are approved, the
Plymouth Downtown Development
Authority and City of Plymouth will con-
tinue to seek public input. Questions or
more information about the project is
available at the DDA office at (734) 455-
1453 or by email at
mouth.mi.us.
Several individuals said Ordinance
Enforcement Ofc. Kathy Pumphrey told
them she had spoken with township treas-
urer Ron Edwards who told her Price was
within his rights as the signs didn't read
“Vote” or “Elect” andwere “Informational
only.”
Price responded to Doroshewitz' com-
ments noting that the newsletter also pro-
moted both the police officer and firefight-
er of the year and other community news.
“You could have done that in two
pages,”Doroshewitz said.
As the boardmeeting adjourned, Price,
obviously upset, abruptly interrupted a
conversation between Doroshewitz and a
reporter as the pair stood in the audience
area. Witnesses said Price was shouting
and used graphic expletives. He invaded
Doroshewitz' personal space, witnesses
said, forcing the trustee to back up several
steps, prompting Doroshewitz to tell the
supervisor to “back off” repeatedly.
Tiderington, alerted by the loud voices
and alarmed audience members,
approached the pair and stepped
between them.
He escorted the two into a back room
and said later that if “a punch had been
thrown” he would “certainly have made
an arrest.”
Doroshewitz said that he did not feel
threatened because the police chief was
on hand but had the altercation occurred
elsewhere, he would have had concerns
for his safety.
Kurt L. Heise, the current state repre-
sentative from the 20th District, has
already formally declared his candidacy
for the supervisor's position.
He said in a prepared statement that
Price's misconduct should result in cen-
sure by the board as soon as possible.
“In my 25 years in local, county, and
state government, I have never seen the
CEO of a municipality engage in such
obscene and thuggish behavior toward
another elected official,” he said.
“Price clearly lacks the temperament
and maturity for this important job, and
has brought more shame and embarrass-
ment to thePlymouth community.”

Honored
Sgt. Mark Hoffman, left, of the Plymouth Township Police Department was hon-
ored as Police Officer of the Year at a recent board of trustees meeting and was
formally promoted to lieutenant by Police Chief Tom Tiderington. Tiderington
praised Hoffman, a township resident, for his distinguished service during the
past 17 years, serving in various assignments, such as evidence technician,
detective and field training officer. Hoffman's wife, Michelle, and their son were
on hand to pin on his bars as were his parents who traveled from upper
Michigan. Hoffman's father served as a police lieutenant for 37 years before
retirement.
