inability to handle the work them-
selves, due to either financial or
health reasons. The Friends com-
mittee coordinates with willing
volunteers to complete the 'curb
appeal'.

bor, donate or volunteer; please

Department at (734) 419-0118.

appreciated, organizers said.

Heise said he is going to
launch a voter education cam-
paign and is preparing instruc-
tional flyers to tell voters
exactly how to fill out the bal-
lot. “Voters are smart and they
are motivated,” Heise, now
term-limited in the House of
Representatives said. “We are
going to take this back to the
people.”
Heise added that he feels
people are “fed-up” with the
political maneuverings of
Price, appointed to the job in
April of 2015 over the protests
of many residents. He said that
he anticipates voter backlash
to these tactics “and there is
going to be serious change.”
A Facebook page indicated
last week that Schnettler, one
of 10 candidates seeking four
trustee positions, will also
attempt awrite-in campaign.
The candidates are all
scheduled to speak at a forum
sponsored by the League of
Women voters of Northwest
Wayne County at 6:30 p.m.
Thursday, June 30, at the
PlymouthDistrict Library.
A league moderator will
present written questions from
the audience to the candidates
for trustee, treasurer, clerk
and supervisor who will then
have a minute to answer and a
minute to summarize their
candidacy at the close of the
session.
