Honored
Inkster dedicates space to honor
centenarian community residents
Inkster residents are making
history.
Recently, members of Inkster
Citizens Who Care hosted an
unveiling of photos of the histo-
ry-making centenarians of the
community at city hall. The old-
est of the residents being hon-
ored for longevity, Nobie Hill,
105, attended the presentation
in the council chambers.
Mayor Byron Nolen officially
dedicated a special section in
city hall as The Centenarians
Wall reserved for photographs of
Inkster residents who reach
their 100thbirthdaymilestone.
Inkster Citizens Who Care is
an organization that also spon-
sors the annual Coats for Kids
drive, led by Ruth Williams.
Williams, a life-long advocate for
children, leads the group mem-
bers who reach out to help chil-
dren of all ages in the city.
Last year, members of the
group moved forward with an
effort to honor residents of the
city who have reached the cen-
tury mark or beyond. At that
time, according to a spokesper-
son, only five names were sub-
mitted to the group as honorees.
The members hosted a lunch-
eon to honor the oldest residents
of the community, but only the
Rev. Chester Washington was
physically able to attend at that
time.
Shortly after the luncheon
celebration, three more names
were submitted to the commit-
tee members who realized that
there were eight residents of
Inkster who had marked or sur-
passed their 100thbirthday.
Inkster was also the home of
Jeralean Talley, who was named
the oldest person in the world in
2015, just prior toher death.
Currently honored as the old-
est residents of the city are
Nobie Hill, who was born Oct.
19, 1912; Maxine Kinney, born
Oct. 22, 1914; Nora Scott, born
May 16, 1915; Ora Ree Williams,
born Sept. 17, 1917 and Luke
Lampkin, born Jan. 15, 1916.
Deceased honorees who have
photos on the wall are Deacon
Lomas Shaw, Dec. 15, 1915-Feb.
18, 2017; the Rev. Chester
Washington, Oct. 19, 1916-Oct. 13,
2017 and Son Hargrave, Dec. 25,
1915-Sept. 25, 2017.

City of Plymouth Police Ofc.
David Edwards was named as
Officer of theYear in a recent cer-
emony at PlymouthCityHall.
Ten officers were recognized
at the event which began with a
welcome by Mayor Oliver
Wolcott.
“Each and every one of these
officers is deserving of our
thanks,” he said. “They are a
large part of what makes
Plymouth the great community it
is.”
Police Chief Al Cox comment-
ed that in a recent incident when
Edwards was the officer in
charge (OIC) during his shift, he
needed to take steps to secure the
scene of a possible crime and
coordinate the work of a number
of other departments that were
called in to assist.
“His cool head and knowledge
of protocol were critical in this
situation and he performed
admirably,” said Cox. Edwards,
who could not attend the event,
fulfills multiple roles in the
department, Cox added. Edwards
works as a departmental road
instructor, a specialist in
impaired driving enforcement
and a community resource offi-
cer. His next assignment will be a
three-year stint as a detective
with the department.
Officers Jonathan Hiemstra
and Mark Farhat received life-
saving citations for prolonged
and successful CPR on a resident
who had no pulse when they
arrived on the scene. Hiemstra
also received an individual com-
mendation for, “the outstanding
performance of general duties
over an extendedperiod of time.”
Cox noted that Hiemstra, who
has been on the force for four
years, actually climbed “into a
filthy Dumpster” to retrieve a
stolen purse, credit cards and
identification after pursuing the
suspect. Cox said that Hiemstra
viewed a videotape of the perpe-
trator and then went looking for
the suspect. When he located and
confronted the man, he retrieved
the victim's cash and determined
the rest of her property had been
thrown into the Dumpster. The
officer was able to return the
cash and stolen purse to the vic-
tim after his “dive” into the con-
tainer.
Sgt. Christopher Lahtinen was
given the Chief's Recognition
Award for providing leadership
in the department and Lt. Jamie
Grabowski, Sgt. Justin Bulmer,
Ofc. Tony Angelosanto and Ofc.
Jeff Jones received Continued
ServiceAwards.
The final award of the evening
was the Certificate of Merit for,
“Outstanding performance of
duty under unusual or difficult
conditions involving unusual
thoroughness, conscientiousness,
determination and initiative.
Officers James Baber and
David Cowell, along with
Plymouth Township Sgt. Mark
Hoffman were chosen to receive
the honor.
“These officers go out there
every day and risk life and limb
for us,” said Mayor Pro Tem
Colleen Pobur. “We owe all of
thema debt of gratitude.”
Inkster Mayor Byron Nolen escorts Nobie Hill, 105, into the City
Council chambers for the dedication of The Centenarians Wall
recently.

tion letter addressed to
Township Supervisor Kurt
Heise, DTE said they were tak-
ing steps to replace equipment
in the township substation,
install new equipment to better
isolate damage and re-route
power around trouble spots,
upgrade utility pole-top equip-
ment and trimming trees along
power lines.
“As a customer-focused com-
pany, DTE Energy sets a high
standard when it comes to pro-
viding
safe,
reliable
service…Recently, we have not
met our customers' expectations
in the Plymouth Township com-
munity, causing frustration for
residents. We want (residents) to
know we're taking action to fix
the problems,” the October 2017
invitation read.
Last month, township
Trustee Jack Dempsey, who is
also an attorney, urged the
Michigan Public Safety
Commission to take action
regarding the numerous DTE
outages and the conditions that
have been allowed to deterio-
rate at both the city and town-
ship substation locations.
Dempsey, who blasted DTE
in his written comments, said
the utility has failed to ensure
the systems are safe, reliable
and resilient.
“Allowing these important
parts of its (DTE) distribution
system to reach such a state was
not a prudent or best practice,”
Dempsey said.
DTE
spokeswoman
RoNeisha Mullen said while
township residents may come to
the June 15 meeting if they
choose, the focus and informa-
tion they will provide is “specif-
ic for city residents.”
Heise said he was not sur-
prised the invitation was not
addressed to township residents
because DTE conducted a simi-
lar townhall last year.
The invitation provides for a
