Canton Township officials are taking a strong stand against domestic violence in their community. Members of the board of trustees are expected to approve the amendment of an ordinance that would assign prosecution of misdemeanor domestic violence complaints to the local prosecutor, Greg Demopolous. The cases would be adjudicated in the 35th District Court which serves Canton, Northville and Plymouth. Currently, the cases are handled by the office of Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy who is not in favor of the move by township officials. Worthy said last week that she received no notification of the plan, based, according to Canton Township Public Safety Director Todd Mutchler, on the inaction on complaints submitted to Worthy's office. Mutchler ” They have no idea what they are getting into when they take over these DV (domestic violence) cases. told the board members at a meeting last month that about 40 such requests for warrants received no response and no action was forthcoming from the prosecutor. Mutchler said the move is an effort to ensure that domestic violence cases are prosecuted as quickly as possible. Worthy said that she received an email from township officials, but has not received a list of any cases or warrant requests. She said she is unable to determine the status of the cases without more information and that her office was not notified of any missing warrant requests from Canton. Worthy said she felt the reas- signment of these cases was a public complaint about the efficiency of her office before ever notifying her of the problem. She said the township action was unprofessional and that she should have been spoken to or notified of the situation before any such public criticism. She also cautioned the township officials regarding the intricacy of these cases. “They have no idea what they are getting into when they take over these DV (domestic violence) cases,” she said. “These are very delicate cases that a prosecutor should not be handling unless they are specially trained to do them.” Worthy's office currently han- dles about 6,000 to 8,000 domestic violence cases from throughout the county each year. Worthy agreed it was a heavy workload and that more attorneys were needed in her office. “I have nothing but the utmost respect for Kym Worthy and the job she is doing as Wayne County prosecutor,” Mutchler said, adding his department will continue to work cooperatively with the prosecutor's office.”We've just got to take care of the people's needs in Canton,” he added. Domestic violence cases punishable by 93 days in jail and $500 fines which are misdemeanors will be handled by Demopoulous if the amendment is approved. Costs for those services are estimated at about $120 an hour for warrant reviews and about $750 for a day-long jury trial. Felony cases will be referred to Worthy's office. Rolling along 70-year-old alleys reopened by family A drive down Huron River Drive in Romulus was a trip back in time for Stephanie Wagel and her mother, Sylvia Parecki, during the past decade or so. The pair would travel past Romulus Lanes and remember when Parecki's father first built the lanes as an addition to his neighborhood bar more than 70 years ago. Walter Parecki originally owned a small store in Romulus which he sold to buy the bar. In 1945, he built the bowling alley. Upon his death in 1956, his wife, Helen and son, Eugene Parecki continued operating the business. When Helen died in 1980, Eugene and his wife, Sylvia, kept the bowling alley open. Helen died in 1980 and Sylvia and her husband continued operating the business until 2001 when they reluctantly sold the flourishing family business. During the past decade or so, however, driving past the building became more and more troubling for both Wagel and her mother as they witnessed the deterioration of the building and saw the effects of time erode the façade, until, eventually, the business was shuttered. In May, the business came back to the family and they made the decision to take on the costly and extensive repairs necessary to reopen Romulus Lanes. Parecki, now 77, and Wagel, 52, along with the rest of the family are operating the historic alley, making repairs as they go along. Working at restoring Romulus Lanes is a family affair for Sylvia Parecki, left whose father built the alleys, her son-in-law and daughter Rob and Stephanie Wagel and her grandchildren, Amanda and Matthew Wagel. At right is a photo of Walter and Helen Parecki, original owners. “My grandfather bought the bar in 1943 and built the bowling alley as an addition in 1945,” Wagel said. “We recently came across some photos of the first leagues who bowled here.” She said there are many photos of bowlers from decades ago that are being processed which will soon be hung in the alley. The renovations and clean up haven't been easy, Wagel admitted. No matter how simple a task seems, it always leads to something far more complicated and expensive. “We thought, hey, we can just replace these few floor tiles, only to find out there were problems with the sub-floor,” she said. The family has painted and cleaned, repaired the awning and roof along with the outside of the building and made plans for more renovations as time allows. “League bowling just began, and it's difficult to get these things done when they See Family, page 4 Restaurant Week promoted on new show Frank Agostini of E.G. Nick's in Plymouth was one of the first guests on Live in the D, an all new morning program on WDIV hosted by Northville resident Chuck Gaidica and new co-host Tati Amare. Agostini, with his pumpkin mousse, bourbon salmon and grilled meat loaf among other menu items, was on the new show to promote the third annual Restaurant Week in downtown Plymouth. During the nine-day event, which continues through Saturday, local participating restaurants will feature three-course lunches and dinners priced at $15, $25 or $35 per person. He challenged Amare to slice mushrooms for the sauce for his ” Being part of Live in the D was an unexpected but happy opportunity for me to connect with the people of Detroit... meat loaf while Gaidica worked on adding port wine to the hot, buttery reduction which was then poured over the entree. Agostini gave both hosts an A for their culinary efforts. Amare, a former television host and producer from New York where her award-winning local lifestyle, food and travel programs were aired, confessed to Agostini that she may have cheated a bit on the mushroom slicing as she grew up in a restaurant. The new morning show debuted at 10 a.m. Monday and has been gaining viewers all week. “The show is a relentlessly positive look at Detroit and really all of southeast Michigan,” Gaidica said. “Being part of Live in the D was an unexpected but happy opportunity for me to connect with the people of Detroit in a new way and still have time to serve our community.” Gaidica left the daily weather forecast at Channel 4 last year to For home delivery of The Eagle call 734-467-1900. pursue his calling to the ministry.

PAGE 2 ASSOCIATED NEWSPAPERS OF MICHIGAN October 1, 2015 PLYMOUTH - WESTLAND Lions Club awards annual scholarships For the 17th year, the Plymouth Lions Club awarded four scholarships to students from the Plymouth Canton Community Schools at a meeting this summer. The Plymouth Lions Club scholarship program is a four-year award of $2,000 each year. Students receive the application for ongoing scholarships from their respective district high schools and their applications are sent to the Lions Club. A committee of members then chooses the recipient for that year using criteria including financial status, academic achievement and community service. At the June Plymouth Lions Club scholarship meeting, Kyle Robertson, a graduate of Plymouth High School, who is attending the University of Michigan majoring in Environmental Engineering, was named the awardee for this year. Continuing scholarships of $2,000 yearly were awarded to: 2012 awardee John Chadwick, a Salem High School graduate who is attending Grand Valley State University majoring in Nursing; 2013 awardee Ellen Grimes, a Canton High School graduate who is attending Michigan State University majoring in Communications and the 2014 awardee Abby Wampler, a Canton High School graduate who is attending Michigan State University majoring in Industrial Engineering The Plymouth Lions Club was chartered by Lions Club international in 1947 and the first meeting took place in January of 1948. The club is dedicated to serving the Plymouth communities but also supports many organizations outside the local area. The club raises funds throughout the year dedicating 100 percent of all funds collected to the organizations it supports. Among the many projects and organizations that receive support are: Penrickton Center for Blind Children, Leader Dog, Michigan Eye Bank, Beaumont Silent Kyle Robinson, left, Abby Wampler, Lion Bob McCaffrey, Ellen Grimes and John Chadwick were on hand at the recent awards ceremony when the Plymouth Lions presented the annual scholarships.

Uniform effort Applebee’s helps cheerleaders collect funds for new outfits The John Glenn High School cheerleaders are responsible for promoting team spirit through their infectious chants and up-beat attitude, but their attire is no laughing matter. In fact, their uniforms barely pass muster. “They're worn, discolored, and falling apart at the seams,” said John Glenn High School Cheer Coach Veronica Chambers. “The girls are piecing together uniforms that are up to15 years old.” Enter TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants (TSFR). The Michigan-based family-owned restaurant group - with an expansive portfolio of casual, quick service and family dining restaurants throughout the state - is partnering with former Detroit Lions offensive lineman Scott Conover and NFL alumni to host a Dine to Donate to raise money for the cheerleaders from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 4, at Westland Applebee's restaurant located at 36475 Warren Road. During the event, 15 percent of all guests' food sales will be donated to the John Glenn High School cheerleaders. The funds collected will assist in the purchase of new uniforms for all 48 team members who make up the varsity, junior varsity and freshman squads. “It was a no-brainer because cheerleaders are often overlooked but make a sizeable contribution to the overall high school football experience,” said Conover, who played for Lions from 1991-1996 and currently serves as the secretary of the Detroit Chapter of the NFL Alumni Association. Several NFL alumni, including former Detroit Lions Lomas Brown and Ron Rice, will join Conover in meeting and interacting with guests. Courtney Conover, Scott's wife, who served as deputy mayor of the City of Former Detroit Lions offensive lineman Scott Conover, far left, and his wife, Courtney, second from left, their children, Kennedy and Scotty, along with the girls' head cheer coach, Veronica Chambers, and all 48 cheer team members celebrate the first John Glenn High School varsity game this year. Westland from 2007-2009 and is a John Glenn graduate and former junior varsity cheerleader, will also attend. The fundraiser will also include prizes and a raffle boasting Detroit Lions memorabilia. “A longtime supporter of our local schools, TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants is proud to partner with the Swim classes offered at PARC The Plymouth Arts and Recreation Complex at 650 Church St. in Plymouth is accepting registrations for swimming classes for all ages.

Library awards readers Teens and youngsters who participated in the Summer Reading Program at the Romulus Library read for a combined 646 hours this summer. A total of 260 readers participated in the program this year, including 185 children, 33 teens and 42 adults, according to Library Director Patty Braden. In addition, she said, the youngsters completed 170 activities. "Summer Reading is important to the learning development of children/teens because it keeps them engaged in reading while school is not in session. Summer Reading Programs are a significant factor in improving reading skills and prevent the loss of learning during the summer months," Braden said. According to schoollibraryjournal.com, "…children who read at least six books during the summer maintained or improved their reading skills, while children who didn't read any saw their skills slip by as much as an entire grade level". Studies show that children who participate in Summer Reading Programs also have higher test scores than those who do not participate, she added. Performers at the library this summer included: Storyteller Rosie Chapman; Doug Scheer performed his "Superhero Stunt Show; A2 Magic; Joel Tacey and his Extreme Duct Tape Workshop; Bill and Jessi from Warrior 3 Comics and Games; Reptile, Inc., and Alex Thomas and his Stop-Motion Animation program. Braden said that Skatin' Station and the Chapatwala family (owners of several local McDonald's) provided bookmarks that allowed young readers a free Happy Meal and a free skate. Emagine Movie Theater, the Henry Ford, Warrior 3 Comics and Games, Wings Financial, Midway Sports and Entertainment, and Sportway each donated prizes for the summer reading finales, Braden added. Donations from the Romulus Rotary Club and the Friends of the Library helped fund the purchase of giveaways and bring in performers. Braden said she also wanted to thank the Romulus Police and Fire departments, the many volunteers who helped make the Summer Reading Kickoff Carnival a success, and the Romulus Athletic Center for hosting the finale party. Flu shots offered in Canton Family FROM PAGE 1 are bowling” Wagel said, “but when they break next summer we plan to do the bathrooms and other repairs.” She said the community is responding to their efforts and the reopening has been welcomed by many loyal bowlers. Wagel grew up in Romulus and was a teacher in the Romulus schools for 10 years before making the decision to devote herself full-time to restoring the bowling alley and bar. She and her family moved to Ypsilanti a few years ago to have more room to raise their few head of cattle and some chickens. Her mother still has a Romulus address while her father died in 2002, a year after the bowling alley was sold. Wagel said the liquor license at the bar remains in court, because of the circumstances surrounding the return of the business, but they hope to have that situation in hand very soon. “The bar is going back to my grandfather's name, it will be Walt's Bar,” she said. “I have to say, the city has been wonder- ful to us, helping us get our permits and get situated,” she said. In addition to her mother, Wagel's son, Matthew, is also working at the establishment, acting as chief engineer, while her two daughters remain in college, one pursuing a medical degree and the other studying nursing, she said. “My husband, Rob, is a nurse at St. Joe's and he talks to so many people there who have stories about bowling here or being here,” she said. “It really is a part of the history of the city.” “We always say, the building may belong to us, but it really is the community's bowling alley,” she added. “We've all made the decision, as a family, to stay here and stick it out,” she said. “We're going to make it work. After all,” she said with a smile, “this is the oldest bowling alley in Romulus.” CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF CANTON ACCESS TO PUBLIC MEETINGS The Charter Township of Canton will provide necessary, reasonable auxiliary aids and services to individuals with disabilities at the meeting/hearing upon a two week notice to the Charter Township of Canton.

Northville Community Foundation Director Jessica Striegle said that this year, the maze is 10-acres of “thick, lush corn that is very tall.” She said that a bell sounds to let visitors know the hayride to the corn maze will begin. They are dropped off at the entrance to the maze and then are on their own to weave their way through the tricky pathways of head-high corn plants. “The challenge,” Striegle said, “is finding all eight of the wooden animals hidden throughout the maze as you are trying to find your way through. “If you complete the maze and find the location of the animals, you can enter to win four tickets to Disney On Ice or the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus,” she said When visitors complete the maze, another hayride takes them back to the farm where cider, donuts and snacks are available. Striegle said that the bigger challenge comes to those intrepid visitors who attempt to solve the maze in the dark, when it gets just a little spooky. The Maybury Farm Corn Maze is open until 10 Friday and Saturday nights for those who are brave enough to find their way through with just the stars to light their way, Striegle said. The maze is open from 6-10 p.m. Fridays, from noon until 10 p.m. Saturdays and from noon until 7 p.m. on Sundays through Nov. 1. The last wagon leaves for the maze one hour prior to close. Group tours and bonfires for 15 or more are available. To reserve a date, call (248)3740200. Cost to visit the corn maze is $7 per person and includes the hayride and admission to Maybury Farm. As always, children 2 and under are free. All proceeds from the maze are used to pay for the winter feed bills for the farm animals.

October 1, 2015 ASSOCIATED NEWSPAPERS OF MICHIGAN PAGE 5 INKSTER - WAYNE Family health clinic moves to new building ” Western Wayne Family Health Centers, open since 2006 moved to a larger center in Inkster last month. The health center was formerly housed in less than 10,000 square feet where primary medical care for all ages, OB/GYN, general dentistry and integrated behavioral health were provided. Space at the new center, located just a few hundred feet down the street from original location, has been tripled to 29,000 square feet. The new facility, located at 2700 Hamlin Blvd. in Inkster, has 39 examination rooms, up from the former 12, and six dental operatories, up from two at the previous location. More adults and children in the community can access services and wait time at the center is reduced, as each medical provider has three examination rooms, rather than sharing just a few, a spokesperson noted. Behavioral health staff has dedicated office space for the first time, offering more timely response and more privacy, she added. “We have recognized for a long time that we needed to expand both our physical space and bring on more providers to meet the health and wellness needs of families in the Inkster area,” said Linda Atkins, CEO. “That was impossible in our old Our goal is to offer high-quality care with little to no wait for an appointment... center, but now we have already hired more dentists as we finally have space for them to work and started collaboration with Garden City Hospital to bring in more OB/GYN doctors and a nurse midwife so that we can offer more prenatal care than we could before.” The center will also offer more internal medicine and pediatric care as there are more rooms to use, she said. Atkins said a part time pedia- Shadow cast performs with Rocky Horror Show movie The only place in Michigan to be a part of Rockytober this year is the classic State Wayne Theatre. The State -Wayne Phoenix Theatre will feature the Rocky Horror Show Preservation Society shadow-cast presentation along with the original film, The Rocky Horror Picture Show during October. The 40-year-old movie has been showing on the big screen at the theater for two and half years. This month, the show will include the shadow-cast experience of the Michigan Rocky Horror Preservation Society on Oct. 3, 10, 27 and 24 with a very special show on Devil's Night, Oct. 30. “The Rocky Horror Picture Show Experience is something we pride ourselves on offering to our audience,” said co-executive producer Faith Duede. “The movie is full of great songs and great dialogue, but to truly appreciate it, you really have to be a part of the entire experience. We are very fortunate to be able to provide that with a full shadow cast performing along with the movie, and the use of the props you all remember, like throwing toast, cards, toilet paper, and using squirt guns. We also have pre-film videos and a pre-show dance party, it's an amazing atmosphere!” The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a cult classic and is the longest continuously running film in cinematic history since first being released in the mid1970s. Phoenix Theatres and the Michigan Rocky Horror Preservation Society are excited to have been able to continue a 40-year tradition by presenting the true Rocky Horror Experience year-round at the State Wayne, explained Cory Jacobson, owner of Phoenix Theatres. “Rocky Horror and the enthusiastic shadow cast truly make this show the most unique, fun and memorable night you can spend at the movies,” Jacobson added. “We had a crazy idea to try to recapture this classic movie-going experience over two years ago. More than 7,000 patrons have descended on Wayne for twice-monthly special showings from throughout Michigan and as far away as Chicago to relive a film from their youth or discover it for the very first time. “The Michigan Shadow Cast and crew have truly developed into one of the finest and most professionally staged shows around the world, and is just great fun to be an audience participant,” Jacobson said. “The idea that film has been showing in cinemas continuously for 40 years and is sold out for every performance at State-Wayne has been simply amazing.” The classic theatre was built in 1946 and after serving millions of mover-goers in Wayne County, went through a digital overhaul late in 2012 and was purchased by Phoenix Theatres in 2014. The theater is located at 35310 West Michigan Ave. For information and show times, visit www.phoenixmovies.net. trician has also been added to the medical staff and other partnerships with area graduate medical education programs will bring on more adult medicine providers in the near future. “Our goal is to offer high-quality care with little to no wait for an appointment…people need access to appointments that fit their schedule and their needs…we want to see them as soon as we can, which is possible in our new Inkster center.” Other services will be offered at the new facility in the months to come including a pharmacy, tele-psychiatry with Wayne State University School of Medicine faculty, a community room and a teaching kitchen. The National Kidney Foundation will have an office in the building as well. The new address is 2700 Hamlin Blvd., which is immediately behind the Inkster post office. The phone number remains (313) 561-5100. More information can be found at www.WWFHC.org or on Facebook at Western Wayne Family Health Centers.
