shred day for all residents of
both communities from 9 a.m.
until noon (or trucks are filled)
Saturday, June 24 at the
Plymouth Cultural Center
located at 525 Farmer in down-
townPlymouth.
Shred Legal will be provid-
ing the onsite shredding servic-
es. Plymouth Township will
host another joint shred event
in the fall.
Township Supervisor Kurt
Heise welcomed the chance to
partner with the City of
Plymouth in this popular event.
“In the past each community
hosted a single event in their
respective community for their
residents only. We're providing
an expanded service and saving
taxpayer dollars through
regional cooperation,” said
Heise.
City of Plymouth Mayor Dan
Dwyer added, “This is another
example of our two organiza-
tions working together for the
entirePlymouth community.”
Paper to be shredded will be
limited to five banker boxes on
each trip. Residents can make
multiple trips throughout the
morning, however. Documents
can be in paper bags or boxes
when brought to shredding.
Documents in plastic bags must
be removed fromthe plastic.
Residents participating must
also provide proof of city or
township residency with a dri-
ver's license, voter ID card,
water bill, or property tax bill.
Michigan Mobile Hard Drive

securely dispose of old and
unusedharddrives.
According to Al Cox,
Plymouth director of public
safety, “With the increase of
identity theft, this free service is
a great opportunity for resi-
dents to ensure their data is
properly destroyed to avoid any
potential problems.”

hunger with the annual All ABout Children
Food Drive, a community-based fundraiser
where food and dollars raised in specific
cities, stays in those cities. The drive will
continue through Wednesday, May 17 at all
Busch's locations.
“Since 2009, the ABC Food Drive has
raised over $850,000 in cash and food dona-
tions to help local families in need,” said
Doug Busch, community development
director. “This is a community-based effort
and we wouldn't be able to do it without the
generosity of our guests.”
Guests will have the opportunity to
donate five different ways, which include
$5 towards produce, $10 in bakery, recy-
cling slips, any cash amount, or a $10 ready-
to-go bag. Busch'swill also be hosting aGrill

pany opened its doors. Local charities that
benefit from this program are Forgotten

“Many children rely on schools or other
day programs to get the food they need,”

fresh, nutritious food for our children to eat
during the summermonths.”
tions.”
Firefighters spoke candidly of their
concerns about staffing, the problems
associated with the differing radio fre-
quencies now in use, and safety for the
firefighters during fire and ambulance
runs. They said Station 2 is not conducive
to accommodating four firefighters as it
contains only one bunkroom.
Trustee Bob Doroshewitz said during
the study session that he is fully support-
ive of opening Station 2 and increasing
staffing levels but said he also has con-
cerns wants to be sure the reopening is
completed in amanner that is sustainable.
“There's not a lot of support here to
hire three firefighters,” he said.
Doroshewitz reminded the boardmem-
bers that Northville Township has a sepa-
rate dispatch department and operates on
a different radio frequency from the one
inPlymouthTownship.
“I'm fully committed to opening the sta-
tion but only in a way it will be open for
years to come. I want to know what's the
road map and how is it going to be paid
for,”Doroshewitz said.
Trustee Jack Dempsey said he sup-
ports the plan and is in favor of reopening
Station 2 as soon as possible.
“We need a long-term plan,” Dempsey
said, “one that is sustainable.”
Trustee Chuck Curmi asked for a
detailed written financial plan of opera-
tion to “secure sustainable operations
going into the future.”
“There's no commitment from
Northville Township. What's the budget?”
Curmi demanded.
“Sorry, I want to get on this, I think the
public demands it and this is what the
public wants. We've got the money to do
it,”Heise said.
Lake Pointe, the neighborhood located
in the Station 2 response area, has 900 res-
idences. The total township population of
28,000 grows to 38,000 during working
hours and adds to the primary responsi-
bility for the fire department that must
also handle emergency calls for twomajor
expressways. Station 2 was built expressly
to serve Lake Pointe residents, according
to township records.
