Coffee With A Cop served
Lifesavers are honored
On the job
Canton Township Deputy Fire Chief Chris Stoecklein, left, welcomed new fire-
fighter/paramedics Samuel Wieland and Gregory Derby to the department after
they took their oaths of office from Township Clerk Terry Bennett last week. Fire
Chief Josh Meier, right, congratulated the new firefighters who be required to
successfully complete three months of mentored orientation and training prior
to being on an assigned shift. The new firefighters will be on probation for one
year while they complete an extensive training program, Stoecklein said.
Canton Township residents can enjoy
Coffee with a Cop from 10 a.m. until noon
June 5 at Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline
Park.
The Coffee with a Cop sessions are
open to the public and provide a unique
opportunity for community members to
ask questions and questions and learn
more about the police department work
in Canton neighborhoods and business
districts.
The majority of contacts law enforce-
ment has with the public happen during
emergencies or stressful situations and
those are not the most effective times for
relationship building, a spokesperson
said. Coffee with a Cop breaks down bar-
riers and allows for relaxed one-on-one
interaction, he added.
The Canton Police Department will
host multiple sessions throughout the
community this year. Any business or
organization interested in hosting a 2-
hour session of Coffee with a Cop contact
the police department at (734) 394-5401.
Requirements to host a session of
Coffee with a Cop include having a
Canton location that is open to the public
and providing coffee for those who
attend.
Sky Zone is located at 42550 Executive
Dr. Childrenwill be permitted to jump on
the trampolines under staff supervision
during the event for $5.
The Canton Board of Trustees recog-
nized several Canton Leisure Services
staff members at the May 12 board meet-
ing for their recent life-saving rescues at
theSummit on thePark.
Canton Supervisor Phil LaJoy pre-
sented 20 Canton Leisure Services staff
with official board resolutions that recog-
nized their dedication to duty, outstand-
ing service, life-saving actions and com-
mendable contribution to the Canton
community.
Three groups of responders were hon-
ored for performing life-saving measures
for incidents that occurred in early 2015:
On Jan. 31, lifeguard Collin Hurley
observed a patron in the water of the lap
pool not moving and in obvious distress.
Hurley immediately responded by blow-
ing his whistle which activated the emer-
gency action plan, then jumped into the
water to begin the rescue.
Working together, the lifeguard team
of Sorin Oprican, Jordan Anheuser,
Nathan Hall, Hurley, Grant Kurili, Lilly
Lepper, Levi Lowder, Alex Petrarca, and
Elizabeth Wiessner dialed 911, assessed
the victim's condition, evacuated all
pools, provided emergency equipment,
and performed two and a half cycles of
CPR on the victim who regained con-
sciousness prior to Canton Fire EMS
arriving on the scene.
Because of the team's quick actions
and ability to apply their lifesaving skills,
the life of the Summit guest was saved,
according to township reports of the inci-
dent.
On Feb.10, Lifeguard Lindsey
Bessinger observed a patron in thewater
at the Summit Aquatics north river area
who appeared to be losing consciousness
and in obvious distress.
Bessinger immediately responded by
activating the emergency action plan,
then jumped into the water to begin the
rescue. The team of Sorin Oprican,
Lindsey Bessinger, Kaylin Huber, John
Kukulka, Connor Osborn, and Lisa Ryan
simultaneously pulled the victim out of
the water and dialed 911. They then
assessed the victim's condition and
observed the guest was breathing and
had a pulse. Additionally, they evacuat-
ed all pools and provided emergency
equipment per established department
protocol until the Canton Fire EMS
arrived and took over.
On March 27, Summit Building
Attendant Stephen Robb responded to
the Arts II Room for a guest in need of
medical attention, and he initiated the
emergency actionplan.
Simultaneously a 911 call was made,
lifeguard assistance was requested, and
all pool areas were evacuated. Upon
arrival of the lifeguards, the victim was
slumped over a table with no detectable
pulse. Working together, the team of
Sorin Oprican, Avalon Dewaele, Rachel
Hughesdon, Charles Joyce, Hannah
Maxam, David Rowe, and Lisa Ryan per-
formed CPR and applied the Automatic
External Defibrillator, which indicated a
shock was necessary. The shock was
administered and CPR was resumed
until the victim began breathing on his
own prior to the arrival of the Canton
Fire EMS. Because of this team's quick
actions, ability to assess the need for
CPR and an AED, and performance of
their lifesaving skills, the life of the
Summit guest was saved, according to
township reports of the incident.
“I am proud of these dedicated staff
members who uphold ourmission of pro-
viding a safe environment for all of our
guests in all of our facilities” said Debra
Bilbrey-Honsowetz, director of Canton

represent the best in public service and I

es fromour staff.”
