Canton Township officials
have inked a pact with Nankin
Transit which will allow those
age 55 and up along with dis-
abled people better access to
local transportation. The previ-
ous plan required senior riders
to be at least 62 years old.
Greg Hohenberger, director of
Canton Leisure Services, noted
at the May 22 Board of Trustees
meeting that cost savings of some
$60,000 a year will come follow-
ing first-year capital costs.
“It sounds like a great alterna-
tive. Thanks for getting it done,”
commented Trustee Steven
Sneideman.”
He and other public officials
in Canton said they are pleased
that as many as 15 vehicles will
be in service at a time, based on
maintenance, an improvement
over the five vehicles of the past.
The Canton transit issue arose
some time ago when a contract
with Huron Valley Ambulance
was being discussed.
“HVA basically did not want
to conform to a federal require-
ment,” Supervisor Pat Williams
said, noting that the issue ended
up in a favorable situation for the
township.
The three-year agreement
with Westland-based Nankin
Transit will cover Canton,
Westland, Garden City and
Wayne. A previous section north
of Canton will no longer be cov-
ered, other than the St. Mary
MercyHospital of Livonia area.
Hohenberger noted that about
80 percent of the 22,000 rides
provided each year start in
Canton. The new area will also
include a 1-mile radius beyond
boundaries.
The St. JosephMercyHospital
and other areas of Washtenaw
County are no longer included,
although Ann Arbor Area
Transportation Authority and
other resourceswill be partners.
“The SMART system will also
guarantee the buses,” added
Hohenberger, noting the fleet
will be more flexible. It will con-
nect with SMART routes, allow-
ing access to Detroit and else-
where.
Each Nankin Transit commu-
nity gets two seats on the govern-
ing board. Hohenberger said spe-
cific schedules “will have to be
worked out with the other com-
munities.”
There is only one spot to see baby ani-
mals up close, watch sheep shearing, wool
spinning, blacksmithing, enjoy a square
dance and listen to livemusic.
Farm Fest at Maybury Farm will take
place this weekend featuring games and
activities for children along with all the
other activities and other farming demon-
strations and attractions.
Highlights include live music by The
Flutter &Wow (1:30-3:30 p.m.), square danc-
ing with the Golden Griffon Stringtet (11
a.m.1 p.m.), farming demonstrations includ-
ing sheep shearing, wool spinning with
Michigan Handspinners Guild, black-
smithing, along with wagon rides through
theMayburyFarmfields and forests.
Children will love getting their hands
dirty planting their very own container gar-
den with the Country Garden Club of
Northville and then washing them off while
making bath bombs with Great Lakes
Natural Soap Co. They'll also enjoy games,
beeswax candlemaking, a craft project with
the Northville Art House, face painting, ger-
mination-bracelet making, and a building
workshop with The Home Depot. New this
year is the Farm and Home Safety Passport
challenge in which children can visit vari-
ous stations around the farm to learn about
animal, home, and outdoor safety.
Stage 2 at Farm Fest will feature addi-
tional farming demonstrations on beekeep-
ing, chickens, goat milking, and gardening
as well as story time. Along with conces-
sions, the Naughty Boy's Rolled Ice Cream
Truckwill be in attendance.
Admission to Farm Fest is just $5 per
person, children 2 and younger are admit-
ted at no cost. The event will take place at
Maybury Farm, located at 50165 Eight Mile
Road in Northville. Parking is free at
Maybury Farm. To learn more, visit

The SMART system will
also guarantee the buses.

Canton celebrates MSD
Canton Township will mark National
PublicWorksWeekwith a special recogni-
tion of the men and women who make up
the township Municipal Services
Department (MSD). Instituted as a public
education campaign by the American
Public Works Association in 1960,
National Public Works Week is observed
each year during the third full week of
May to honor the vital contribution public
works employees make to communities
all across North America. This year, the
celebration began on Sunday, May 20 and
continued throughSaturday, May 26.
According to MSD Director Tim Faas,
“This year the recognition is more special
for Canton as we are now accredited with
the American Public Works Association.
The staff in Municipal Services has a
long-standing objective to deliver excep-
tional customer service and it is nice to
have this special day each year to recog-
nize themall.”
Employees from the Canton Township
Municipal Services Department began
working on the accreditation process in
October of 2014. By the end of 2017, they
proudly became the 133rd agency in
North America to be awarded accredita-
tion, and only the second agency in
Michigan to receive this honor.
The Canton Municipal Services
Department comprises four divisions,
Public Works, Planning Services,
Engineering Services and Building and
Inspection Services. All four divisions
provide planning, building and infrastruc-
ture services. The department employees
play a key role in shaping development to
meet the needs of the community and are
committed to exceptional customer serv-
ice.
This year in honor of National Public
Works Week, officials from the American
Public Works Association are asking resi-
dents to take a few minutes to contact
their senators and representatives to tell
them about National Public Works Week
and tell them why their support for this
week is so important. This process will
only take a few minutes and can be at:

Bloom town
Sprucing up downtown
Plymouth recently has includ-
ed some 15 round planters in
Kellogg Park, noted Plymouth
City Manager Paul Sincock.
“It's basically to add some
color, a little more pop to the
park,” he said. The yellow
flowers are from the
Plymouth-Canton Civitan
Club, while members of the
Noon Rotary Club spent a
recent Saturday planting
begonias in the Main Street
median across from the park.
