LYMOUTH
Plymouth
Township
Treasurer Ron Edwards has a
big job ahead of him.
He is faced with the task of
raising $34,500 for the annual
fireworks display at the township
4th of July display, along with
another $8,000 to $12,000 for the
special viewing party for donors
and special guests.
Despite heated and extensive
criticism of the party from mem-
bers of the audience, boardmem-
bers approved the awarding of
the contract for the show to
Zembelli
Fireworks
Manufacturing Co. of NewCastle,
PA, a company that has provided
the display previously.
This year, the display will take
place July 3 at Hilltop Golf
Course and include more than
4,300 explosive devices. The com-
pany agreed to provide $10 mil-
lion in insurance for the event,
while the low bidder, Great
Lakes Fireworks of Eastpointe
which bid $29,000, could only
provide $5 million in insurance,
at least until June 25.
Trustee Bob Doroshewitz told
the board members and assem-
bled crowd that he did not think
$100 million would be enough
insurance to cover the display,
should there be a serious mishap
or disaster.
The contract was approved 6-
1 vote with the dissenting vote
cast byTrusteeChuckCurmi.
Most of the criticism from
audience members was regard-
ing the special viewing party to
which Edwards invites from 600-
700 donors, sponsors and politi-
cal allies. That event usually
costs from$8,000 to $12,000 and is
a private, invitation only event
which includes a meal and alco-
holic drinks. Both Doroshewitz
and Curmi objected to the pri-
vate party and Doroshewitz, an
attorney, said that serving alcohol
presents a specific liability to the
township. He criticized some of
the spending for party items in
the past that included orchid leis
fromHawaii one year.
Curmi said he would rather
the township not solicit dona-
tions for the fireworks, the pri-
vate party and the Good Old
Fashioned Picnic the township
hosts in the park annually on
July 4. Curmi has suggested
repeatedly that a community
group or service club assume the
sponsorship and organization of
the events.
Edwards said that donors
enjoy the party.
“I don't care what anybody
says, you take the party out of it,
you take the money out of it,”
Edwards said.
The board members also
agreed by a 4-3 vote to allow the
Plymouth-Canton Stars to charge
$5 per vehicle for parking during
the fireworks and party. This will
be the third year the group, affili-
ated with the Special Olympics,
has organized the parking. The
group will split the parking fees,
estimated at $6,000 by Edwards,
with the township.
Doroshewitz, Curmi and
Trustee Mike Kelly opposed the
arrangement, suggesting that the
group be allowed to keep all the
parking revenue rather than split
with the township. Supervisor
Shannon Price, Edwards, Clerk
Nancy Conzelman and Trustee
Steve Mann cast the majority
votes.
Toni Morrison will stay in the
NorthvillePublic Schools.
Despite the protests of several
parents, some who went so far as
to label the 1970s novel, The
Bluest Eye, as “pornographic,”
members of the board of educa-
tion opted to follow the recom-
mendation of a review commit-
tee and continue to use the novel
in the Northville High School
Advanced Placement English
andCompositionCourse.
More than 30 parents, admin-
istrators, teachers and board
members spoke at the meeting
Tuesday night both defending
and criticizing the novel.
The Bluest Eye is set to be
assigned to students in the class
this month. The book has been in
use in the district English course
since the early 1990s, but this
year drew criticism from parents
who questioned the depictions of
racism, incest and child sexual
molestation in the novel.
The book details the life of
Pecola, a young black girl who
feels inferior to whites because
of her skin and eye color.
Parents filled the board meet-
ing room at Hillside Middle
School last week reiterating their
concerns. Those concerns were
recently addressed on the district
website by Superintendent of
Schools Mary Kay Gallagher who
clarified the process the district
follows whenever concerns about
materials being used in class-
rooms are raised.
Because of the imminent
assignment of the novel, and the
concerns of parents, the district
review process was expedited
and moved to the third level of
consideration last month. That
included review by a committee
comprising an administrator
from the high school, the district
media specialist, an elementary
teacher, a parent, two English
teachers, and the district
Director of Instruction. Assistant
Superintendent for Instructional
Services Deanna Barash served
as facilitator for the review of
The Bluest Eye. The conclusion
of the review committee suggest-
ed the continued use of book in
the high school class. In addition,
the committee noted that, as with
all assignments, families with
concerns have the option to
request another literature selec-
tion.
Members of the school board
reiterated the recommendation
of the review committee which
stressed the parental option to
choose another book for students
to complete the course require-
ments.
The other options are The
Sound and the Fury by William
Faulkner or selections from 50
Essays by Samuel Cohen.
Plymouth officials will discuss
a proposed water rate increase at
a study session beginning at 6 p.m.
April 25 at the city Department of
PublicWorks building.
An increase of about 1.5 per-
cent is being considered for all
water customers in the city. The
18 cent increase would boost the
cost to $11.52 for every 1,000 gal-
lons of water used and the aver-
age user in the city would be
billed about $219 every three
months. The proposed increase, if
approved by the members of the
city commission, would become
effective in July.
Water rates were last
increased in the city in 2014.
The increase, officials said, is
in response to anticipated
increases from the Great Lakes
Water Authority, which replaced
the Detroit Water and Sewerage
Department, and will now pro-
vide water to suburban cus-
tomers. Other factors supporting
the proposed increase are an
increase in operating the
Plymouth water system, officials
said.
The public works building is
located at 1231 Goldsmith,
Plymouth, according to the city
website.
I don't care what anybody says,
you take the party out of it,
you take the money out of it.
