Northville to request street repair taxVoters in Northville will be

asked to approve a 2.25 millincrease to fund street repairs inthe city on the Aug. 4 ballot.

Officials said expectedrepairs to the streets will costabout $1,337,000 during the nextdecade. The cost of the millage, ifapproved would be about $270per year for a home with a truecash value of $240,000 or an

assessed value of $120,000.Currently, officials said, the

budget includes about $584,000for street repairs, requiring anadditional annual input of$753,000, which would be gener-ated by the new millage, ifapproved by voters. The ballotlanguage specified that the newmillage will be used exclusivelyto provide funds for road and

street improvements. The ballot millage question

required an amendment frommembers of the city council toallow an override of the HeadleeAmendment. The HeadleeAmendment restricts tax increas-es without voter approval. In theCity of Northville, the HeadleeAmendment reduced the taxlimit in Northville to 15.8845

mills. The override would allowfor a levy of up to 20 mills, if vot-ers approve the question, butwould not allow the city to specif-ically designate street repair asthe exclusive use of the funds.

Members of the city councilhave adopted the necessary offi-cial ordinance requiring the useof the 2.25 mills be designated forstreet repair in the city.

TRAIN of successLocal chef continues friendship with band

As 15,000 screaming fanscheered the encore perform-ance of Train last week at DTEMusic Theater, Frank Agostinistood at the edge of the stagesmiling, remembering just howfar the band has come.

Agostini said he couldn'thelp but reminisce about hisexperiences with what was afledgling band two decades agowhen he spent many longhours driving them from radiostation to radio station acrossthe Metro area trying to con-vince program directors to playtheir music on the air.

“When we would go early inthe morning to some stations, Iwould cook breakfast for every-body who worked at the stationwhile the band members wouldtalk to the DJs and radio peo-ple,” he said. “I remember, Ihad a chocolatier I workedwith who would make choco-late records to hand out. Whenwe went at lunch time, I madesandwiches and sometimeswould cook an entire mealright at the station on burnerswe loaded into the van.”

He was with his friendDavid Shaw who worked, backthen, for Columbia Recordsand whose job it was to pro-mote and get air time for Train.Shaw figured a good mealmade an impression on radio

d e c i s i o nmakers, sohe hiredAgostini, bythen atrained pro-fessionalchef, to daz-zle theradio station employees.

“Anything to get those guysto play the band's record,”Agostini said. “To see them sosuccessful after all this time, allthose cheering fans, it broughtback a lot of memories.”

Train is now a multi-plat-inum record, Grammy-winningband and while some of theoriginal members have gone onto other pursuits, Agostiniremains close to the bandmembers. He has adopted oneof the band's pet projects and isfeaturing new wines from theSave Me San Francisco WineCo. named for some of theband's hit songs at E. G. Nick'srestaurant on Forest Street inPlymouth. He and Tony Bellihave been operating E.G.Nick's for about 15 years andhave become a mainstay in thecommunity.

“This is just another greatthing these guys (Train) aredoing. Not a dime of the profitfrom the wine goes to them. Itall goes back to a children's

charity they are working within San Francisco, to providehousing for families of childrenbeing treated at the Universityof California Children'sHospital,” Agostini said.

“And it is very good wine.” Train founded the Save Me,

San Francisco Wine Co. in 2011.With a partnership with ACMEWine Movers, the business sellswine that is named after thegroup's various hits, whichinclude: Drops of JupiterCalifornia Red, Calling AllAngels Chardonnay, Soul SisterPinot Noir, California 37Cabernet Sauvignon and BulletProof Sauvignon Blanc. A por-tion of the proceeds go to theFamily House of SanFrancisco, which supports fam-ilies of children with cancerand other life-threatening ill-nesses.

Train isn't Agostini's onlycelebrity connection. He's fedjust about everybody in themusic business and gotten toknow quite a few big namespersonally during his career asa professional chef.

Last week, he was preparingfood to serve on the RollingStones private plane and near-ly every week there is at leastone team of professional ath-letes enjoying food prepared inthe E.G. Nick's kitchen as theyfly out of Metro Airport.

“We do a lot of catering forthe celebrity planes,” Agostinisaid.

Food catered on the planesis often subject to the same“riders” and conditions as thebackstage and dressing roomcatering. The basketball teams,

Frank Agostini, left, Train lead singer Patrick Monahan, ChrisAgostini, Jennifer Amman and Emily Hiser, both from GreatLakes Wine, and Train lead guitarist Jimmy Stafford were allsmiles after the band concert at DTE Theater last week.

Frank Agostini from E.G. Nick's in Plymouth has catered planesfor nearly every music, sports and political celebrity departingMetro Airport for several years. See Chef, page 4

While Van Buren Townshipofficials have agreed to place amillage question on theNovember ballot to fund the pub-lic safety department, they havenot agreed on the amount of thenew tax or the length of time itwill be effective.

The millage placed before vot-ers would fund a full-time firedepartment, rather than the sys-tem of paid-on-call system now inuse. If approved by voters, thenew tax would also eliminate theblended rate employee compen-sation now in place in the town-ship.

A 4-mill levy currently in placewill expire in December of nextyear and officials agree that thisis not enough to fund a full-timefire department. Discussion hasincluded placing language on theballot asking for a levy of 6.25 or6.5 mills or placing two separatequestions before voters, one theapproval of the expiring 4 millsand another asking for an addi-tional 2.25 or 2.5 mills.

A decision on the questionswas expected last week after lan-guage for both proposals was pre-pared for review by members ofthe board of trustees. The

trustees face an Aug. 11 deadlinefrom Wayne County for ballot lan-guage for the Nov. 3 election.

The current 4 mill levy gener-ates about $3.4 million and paidless than 50 percent of the VanBuren Township Public SafetyBudget of $9 million last year.That budget includes all police,fire, dispatch and animal controlin the township.

Trustees expressed concernregarding the costs in the on-callfire department, noting that thetownship pays about $13,295 totrain and equip each firefighterand than many of them have left

Van Buren for full-time jobs inother communities.

Township Clerk Leon Wrightand Fire Chief Dan Besson dis-agreed about the amount suchtraining has cost the township.Wright asserted that at the $13,295figure, 28 fire fighters had left thetownship after being trained. Hesaid it cost the township $345,675for those fire fighters who did notstay with the department.

Besson disputed that, however,noting that many fire fighterscome to the township with cre-dentials and do not cost the town-ship training fees.

Besson has proposed a full-time department of 15 fire fight-ers at a cost of $622,050 annuallyalong with 16 part-time fire fight-ers at an annual cost of $284,361as part of a $1.9 million budget.The new department would elim-inate full-time police officers orordinance department employ-ees working as on-call fire fight-ers.

Wright said that if the millageis not approved by voters, drasticcuts could be made including lay-ing off two police officers and atotally volunteer fire departmentin the township.

The Northville Board ofEducation ratified a two-yearcontract with the NorthvilleEducation Association (NEA) lastweek.

Two-year agreements with sixother employee groups also wereapproved by board members atan earlier meeting, including theNorthville Association of SchoolAdministrators (building princi-pals, assistant principals, the ath-letic director, and program super-visors); Central OfficeAdministration; Teamsters Local214 (maintenance, food service,and educational technology);Office Support Personnel fromacross the district; EarlyChildhood Education andExtended Day program employ-ees and K-12 Paraprofessionals.In addition, the evaluation andcontract for Superintendent ofSchools Mary Kay Gallagher for2015-17 was approved.

The agreements, which coverthe 2015-16 and 2016-17 schoolyears, include wage increases forall employee groups, the same

self-funded health care coverageand contributions as the previouscontract, and the continuation oftwo unpaid furlough days forthose employee groups, includingthe NEA, that were subject to fur-lough days in the previous con-tract. The NEA agreement, whichcovers the 435 district teachers,also reflects minor changes in theschool year calendars for the2015-16 and 2016-17 school years,modifications to the NorthvilleHigh School (NHS) block sched-ule, and continuation of the 75-minute Extended Time model forteacher professional develop-ment.

“Despite more than a decadeof challenging economic times,Northville Public Schools hascontinued to offer outstandingeducational experiences for allstudents due to the collectiveeffort and sacrifice of our talent-ed teachers and staff at all lev-els,” said Northville Board ofEducation President CyndyJankowski.

“Largely a result of this shared

sacrifice, the district's financialstability has improved markedlyover the past four years. Theseagreements with our employeegroups reflect a true collabora-tion, balancing the desire toincrease pay for employees - whoaccepted significant concessionsfour years ago - against the harshreality of flat and uncertain rev-enues from the state, a possibledecline in enrollment, and unpre-dictable employee retirementcosts.”

Under the agreementsreached with district supportstaff groups (Teamsters, EarlyChildhood, Office SupportPersonnel andParaprofessionals), employeeswill receive a guaranteed 2 per-cent wage increase in each of thetwo contract years.

The NEA, along with the dis-trict administrators, have optedfor guaranteed wage and stepincreases for the first year of thecontract, with any increases inthe second year tied to the dis-trict's financial standing. Under

the first year of the agreements,eligible employees will receive afull step wage increase and thosenot eligible for a step will receivea 2 percent “off schedule” wageincrease. In the second year ofthe contract, any wage increasesfor these employee groups will belinked to formula-based triggersrelated to the district's GeneralFund Balance as a percentage ofbudgeted General Fund expendi-tures for 2016-17.

In addition, as established intheir previous contracts, anywage increases for teaching andadministrative staff will continueto be linked to the districtPerformance Evaluation System,with those rated as “ineffective”or “minimally effective” for the2014-15 school year not eligible inthe 2015-16 school year for wageincreases, steps or other adjust-ments based on degree status thatmay be provided going forward.

Also critical in the agreementbetween the district and the NEAare modifications to theNorthville High School block

schedule beginning with the2015-16 school year

Information will go out soonto Northville High Schools fami-lies with more details about themodified block schedule, includ-ing dates and times in mid-Augustwhen Principal Tony Koski willhost information sessions for par-ents and students to sharespecifics about the new scheduleand answer any questions.

“On behalf of the entire boardof education and district leader-ship team, I want to express oursincere appreciation to all of thedistrict's employee groups fortheir continued willingness totake action to protect the finan-cial stability of our district duringthese challenging and unpre-dictable times for public educa-tion,” Jankowski said. “We arepleased to be able to reach fair,competitive and sustainableemployment agreements withour employee groups that focuson providing the best possibleeducational programs for our stu-dents.”

Area residents have been cheerfullywelcomed to the Northville Meijer storeby Roxann Zimmerman for the past twoyears.

Her smile and pleasant manner wererewarded recently when she was namedEmployee of the Year at a ceremony host-ed by JVS, an employment service helpingindividuals with disabilities. More than700 business and community leadersattended the Strictly Business Networkingand Awards Luncheon.

Zimmerman, who has a disability thataffects her fine and gross motor skills, wasrecognized for her exceptional work ethic

and positive attitude“Roxi is determined not to let her phys-

ical disability define her,” said ShirleyViviano, JVS job placement specialist.“Her personality shines as she offers awarm smile and cheerful greeting at theentrance of the Meijer store inNorthville.”

Through the JVS supported job searchprogram, Viviano helped Zimmermanidentify her interests, talents and abilitiesand find a good job match.

“I was able to do the applications andinterviews,” Zimmerman recalls. “It wasjust hard for me to get the jobs. I didn't

want (employers) to judge me because ofmy disability, I just wanted them to seethat I could be a good employee.”

Zimmerman was first hired as a greeterat a Meijer store in Southfield, then shetransferred to the Northville location.

“Roxann is the kind of employee youwant,” said Jeffery Miller, manager of theNorthville store. “She comes to workevery day with smile on her face and isexcited to be here. That attitude rubs offon everyone else. She's a huge asset to thestore.”

In a video prepared for the awardsevent, Zimmerman said she is especially

proud ofthe inde-pendencethat she'sachievedt h r o u g hwork.

“What Iwant people to understand about having adisability is that you're just like anyoneelse,” she explained. “You can still do allthe same things other people can, just alittle bit differently.”

JVS serves more than 14,000 peopleannually.

however, nearly always ask for one of thesame menu items: peanut butter and jellysandwiches.

“We give them what they want,”Agostini said, “no matter how simple orhow elaborate.”

Catering the planes is a bit furtherremoved from the food services Agostiniformerly provided to many celebrities.He's shared vegetarian cooking tips overlunch with Paul McCartney (a very niceman), cooked breakfast and dinner forMadonna, often while watching her sun-bathe (she keeps to herself) and fed his all-time favorite band Chicago (they are thegreatest) on the road. He shared a beer atthe end of the work day with Robert Plant(just a regular guy, really down to earth)and was responsible for feeding Bon Jovion the road (really great guys).

He takes credit for teaching a veryyoung and personable Kelly Clarkston howto play euchre right after she wonAmerican Idol along with many, manymore recognizable names, all of whomprompt an anecdote or two that Agostiniusually doesn't discuss.

“The Train performance just brought alot of memories back,” Agostini said,“things I don't talk about much, but when Iactually think about it, it's been quite alife.”

He's taken his son to lunch with AliceCooper, among others, and his daughtermet her favorite group, Destiny's Child. Hewas sitting across the table from StevenTyler in a dressing room as he sang alongto a newly-released single he was hearingfor the first time. Agostini was the mancharged with producing a Thanksgivingmeal, complete with turkey and all thetrimmings for Peter, Paul and Mary whilethey were on the road.

“Everything but the salad. Either Peteror Paul had a salad recipe and had tomake their own salad for the meal,” herecalled with a laugh. “I got it done forthem. Wednesday night, after the show,they had Thanksgiving dinner.”

His favorite recollection, however, has

to be introducing his late father to TonyBennett.

“My father looked a little like TonyBennett, who is just the nicest man youcould ever meet. I got my family ticketsand after the show, I was going to intro-duce them to Tony, thinking that he wouldjust say hello and move on.

“He and my Dad hit it off and startedspeaking in Italian and the rest of us justsort of sat around while they made anevening of it,” Agostini said. “To do that formy Dad, because it meant so much to him,that was great. And for my kids. Being ableto introduce them to people, I loved that,”he said.

He's also catered planes for nearlyevery major political figure and candidateto land and leave from Detroit Metro dur-ing the past 15 years or so.

Cleaning out his desk at home recentlyhe found a photo of Tina Turner shesigned to him (Frank, You're Simply TheBest) that may join the collection in thelobby at the restaurant.

“It's just a head shot and some of those Ido put up,” he said. “The others that areme with the bands or the celebrities, thoseare personal. I keep those to myself,” hesaid.

He's very enthusiastic about the newwines from Train and said it is one of thefew times he has tried to help market aproduct for a celebrity.

“This is just such a good cause andthese guys, well, I know I really helpedthem on the way up. I've always believed inthem, and like I said, this is really goodwine.”

He's a guy who would know.

Despite multiple internet and socialmedia accounts, police reports show onlythat Plymouth Township Treasurer RonEdwards was involved in a vehicle acci-dent outside township park last week inpreparation for the annual fireworks dis-play and have no record of a reported con-frontation with the new parks director.

Police reports detail an incident thatoccurred at about 11:55 a.m. July 3 atMcClumpha Park where township work-ers were frantically setting up for theannual fireworks display and a privateinvitation- only VIP party for sponsors andspecial guests.

According to a police case report, amotorist flagged down a patrolling policecar in the area of Ann Arbor Trail andBeck Road to report a man "yelling andscreaming" inside the park. The manurged the patrol officer to hurriedlyrespond to the scene, according to thepolice report, due to the man's extremeagitation.

"The male told me he was drivingdown Ann Arbor Trail near PlymouthTownship Park when he saw a white maleget out of gray Ford Explorer and begin toyell and scream," the police report states.

"As I was pulling up to the park, Iobserved the Plymouth TownshipTreasurer Ron Edwards standing near hisgray Ford Escape with obvious dam-age…Mr. Edwards said he tried to park hiscar on the side of the road so he could yell

at one of 'his employees,' but mistakenlyput the car in reverse and not park," thepolice report continues.

Edwards' vehicle apparently struck alandscaper's trailer truck stopped on thepath. Edwards told the responding officerthat the driver of the trailer left the scenebefore the officer arrived. Edwards toldthe officer he did not want to documentthe crash, after the officer explained tohim that he was at fault in the incident,according to the police report.

Rumors continue to flourish of an alter-cation immediately following the incidentthat reportedly involved Edwards andrecently-appointed Parks and GrantsDirector Mike Mitchell. Witnesses report-edly said that Edwards approachedMitchell in the park and expressed his dis-pleasure with Mitchell's placement of No-Parking signs. Mitchell told Fox-2 Newsreporter Ingrid Kelley on Tuesday therewas no altercation and denied any con-frontation with Edwards.

Edwards, who did not want to go onrecord, denied any confrontation,although witnesses claimed that he wasshouting at Mitchell, brandished a ham-mer in a threatening manner at the newparks director, and that Mitchell pickedup one of the stakes he was using for theNo Parking signs in what appeared to bean effort to fend off Edwards.

There is no police report of the alterca-tion and both Edwards and Mitchell havedenied the incident which was widelyreported throughout social media sitesdedicated to events in the township.

The American ProgressiveAssociation will celebrate the 74th annu-al Romulus Community Festival July 24,25 and 26.

The three-day event also known as theJones Sub Festival, will take place at theThomas J. Coleman Community Center,35351 Beverly Road in Romulus.Included in the planned activities is aCommunity Talent Show in which all
