Originally scheduled for action by the township board last Tuesday, a. possible contract between the governmental uqils has. now been put over to the township’s Feb. 22 agenda.
Is still at odds on tax collection costI anticipate we will reach -- an

Fireplace ashes start Plymouth Twp. house blazeBY RACHAEL DOLSON
A Plymouth Township house fire Sunday afternoon was apparently started by bag of fireplace ashes placed in the attached garage earlier that. <|ay.
Two township firefighters -sustained minor injuries battling the blaze. Both were treated and released .at Oakland Canton Center. .
Fire chief Larry Groth said the’ owner . of the house at 46730 N. Territorial had. moved hot ashes to the garage about one- half an hour before the 12:26 alarm. .
AH of the family members escaped unharmed, Groth said. The' chief estimated the fire damage to be $98,000. "That includes $80,000 in home damage, $10,000 in contents and $8,000 for an automobile parked in the garage which went up in the blaze,” Groth said.
Two pumper trucks, and rescue unit and 24 fire personnel responded to the alarm. Groth said it took about a half an hour to get the blaze "knocked down” and another 2 ' hours for clean-up and containment. . ' ' ■
"The fire got into the wall on the first floor and went up into the walls of the bedrooms on the,second floor and then' into the attic,” Groth said. v One firemen sustained a knee wound from a glass puncture, Groth said, and a second firefighter was injured when a plaster ceiling fell on his head.

LeBlanc to appeal city building decision
Old Village Inn owner Eugene LeBlanc will go before the Plymouth city building hoard of appeals Friday 3 p.m. to argue that less than half o f his structure was destroyed by fire in January.
LeBlanc is appealing city engineer Kenneth West’s determination that more than half of the replacement value of his structure was damaged in last month’s blaze. If more than one-half of the residential hotel was destroyed, then LeBlanc will have to bring , the entire
Gun fired on - Absopure Corp.
Seven or eight rounds of ammunition were fired in the rear of the Absopure Corp, 9 )35 General Court, on Saturday night, police said.
Three people were in the building at the time of of shooting, but no one was hurt, police said. Plymouth police 'said they had-no suspects as o f Monday.
Lights and fixtures at the back of the building were shot out and 2 bullets, pierced the window and went through several walls, according to the report.
An area of drywall with a bullet hole was retained by police for evidence. The size of the hole indicated the weapon was probably a .22 caliber rifle, the police report said.
The angle of fire was a southwesterly direction, "indicating the southeastern most structure (of Plymouth Manor Apartments) as being a possible point of fire,” the officer’s report said.
building up to BOCA code before an occupancy permit will be issued.
LeBlanc and, his attorney, George Garjs, argue that only about 40 per cent o f the structure was destroyed. They
... contend tHat LeBlanc should be allowed to renovate the portion of the building damaged by fire and then open the Inn without making improvements in the remainder of the.structure.
"In support of his appeal,” Garis said in a letter to the board,"Mr. LeBlanc will. rely on the reports of Pioneer Claim Service and the engineering report.”
West reviewed both reports, plus his own initial determination, before sending LeBlanc a Feb. 8 letter with his final decision. ' .
"Based on my professional knowledge and experience as a registered professional engineery and building
! official o f the city o f Plymouth,’’West’s letter said, "I find that the damage value of reconstruction and-or restoration is in excess of 50 per cent of the structure replacement .value, exclusive o f foundations. '
■ "This means that the entire structure must comply with the BOCA code,” West said in his letter.
West disagreed with figures presented in LeBlanc’js 2 reports. A report from Came architectural f irm, . West said, overestimated the replacement value of the structure. The Pioneer report underestimated the damage in some areas that were damaged by fire, West said.
( The city declared the building an unsafe structure after the Jan. 5 fire. No one is allowed to occupy the building and visitors must sign a form at city hall before entering.

areThe collection of summer school taxes will become reality inLJuly^ with
or without the blessings ofvthe local municipalities.The Plymouth-Canion Board of Education made sure of. that when it
recently passed unanimously a resolution calling for the'collecting of school taxes in the summer!
However, it would be nice if the various units of government could' come to terms with the district as far as the physical collection of the monies. . ' i .
Canton has already-passed a resolution‘refusing to collect the tax money, while Salem Township has'imade it plain they’d like to postpone trying to take in the 6ash for another year. ' *
The City of Plymouth and'Plymouth Township, meanwhile, are in the midst of negotiations with the schools as to how much they’ll charge the district for collecting the money.
And that’s the way it should be. There’s np reason the local governmental bodies shouldn’t collect the taxes, them anything.
It will, however, save the district upwards of $500,000, according to the schools, and, with the tough economic1 times facing Plymouth- Canton educators, that’s what’s important.THE'COMMUNITY CRIER

~ Crier worth only 5C
Too many errors!EDITOR: "Your paper has more) errors in it EVERY week than (lie Plymouth
Observer, which is 10 times the size of your [taper.(At least 14 errors in Jan .26, 12 errors in Jan. (sir) 2 and 15 errors in
Jan. (sic) 9.) .I can overlook a couple of typos now and then, hut your [taper is litll of
them. And you don’t know how to spell. If you’re not sure, look it up.Don’t make tip words like "drem pt” (which appeared in Wendovcr’s
column three weeks ago). It sounds like a first grader spelled it out for you.
Do you have bjind people doing the typesetting?Anyone else would be able to catch all the errors you make. You’re
(sic) paper is*onlY"w6rtlT5 cents, not 25 cents. -UNSIGNED '
PUBLISHER’S NOTE: You’re absolutely right. Even though, hv our count, you’ve obviously missed a number o f errors in spelling and grammar in the last three Crier editions, yo u ’ve got the point.
While we don’t generally run unsigned letters, this letter representedi- a number o f constructive complaints received after last week's paper which mentioned firemen arriving at the "seen," a driver who can "slid” behind the wheel-and a musical "cord.]’
And we don’t take delight in pointing out,three errors in this brief, unsigned letter - nor do we use this as an excuse for our own manslaughter (versus first degree murder) o f the English language.
Let it be sufficient to say that we Crier folks - and i t ’s not the typesetter, fo r the news and editorial matter is fe d into the computer directly by the reporters and Editors - arP equally concerned about a slight problem o f late with quality control. Therels-been tutexcusc fo r it .

How do you explain to your child the reasoning behind someone their age being killed in a car accident? It isn’t easy, especially when we as adults don t always understand these things ourselves.
A fatal abcident is always a shock. No matter how old a person is, it doesn’t seem fair for someone whp is healthy to suddenly loose their life.
We all rbad about accidents from time to time in- the newspapers. Even when'it involves someone we don’t know, we are still interested in finding (out how it happened. Weather conditions many times are a big factor, but carelessness and drunk driving are the main causes of accidents.
When it is an older person and someone we don’t know, we tend to brush it off with,, " a t least they had a chance to live a good life.” ./ However, we don’t feel that way when it.jdoes involve someone we know.> When teenagers are killed in an accident, it’s hard to accept the fact because they had their whole lives ahead of them. ;
Why did it have to happen? It’s easy to ask questions, but it’s a lot. harder to find the answers. In digging for the answers we want to pin the blame on someone or something." How many times have you come close to an accident because you
didn’t se t another car or the street was slipperier than you thought it* was? Usually we are lucky and miss the other car or Have a minor fender bender. ' ‘
While talking to my own teenager who is about to turn 16, and will soon be driving, I tried to point but the responsibility a driver must have everytime he or she gets behind the wheel of a car. Hopefully, as she blinked back a tear for someone else, she learned something from the incident. 1 ;

"I started, looking in the newspapers and came across this place,” he remembered. "I got in contact with Jim (Jabara) and; after looking it. over, decided this was the place for me.

BY CHERYL EBERWEINDianne and Al Tenoff would like to sell
their mobile home.And at least four different families have
wanted to purchase that home, according .to the Tenoffs. ’
But the- Tenoffs insist they haven’t, been able to finalize the sale of their modular unit because of discriminatory practices in their trailer park. These practices, they maintain, have caused them unnecessary financial hardship and frustration.
The Tenoffe own a trailer in the Holiday Estates Trailer Park on Geddes Road in Canton. They have lived in the park for three years. ^
Recently, they decided to sell their home and move to another residence in Canton. According to Dianne Tenoff, that’s when their troubles began..
She said that when they put theirhome up for sale,-they, were not informed by the Park’s owner, Sheldon M. Futernick, the park had adopted a policy regarding where families with children could live in the park.'
"We were not 'told that the Holiday Estates had a policy which designated our lot as being in the adult section.” Tenoff said. "We’ve lost several sales because our interested buyers had children and they were'denied sale due to'this, adult section designation.”
The alleged policy in question divides the mobile home park up into designated childless coiiple and family areas.
David Denn, attorney for Holiday Estates, however, denies that the'park has such a policy.
"Anyone in the park who .is selling their hotne is free to sell it to anyone;” he said. "We used to have an adult’s and children’s section, but now we’re happy to accept anyone into the park. '
"The Tenoffs were told three or four months ago that they, could sell their home to anyone even though they arje in the adult section of the park.” Denn ^aid emphatically.- "Usually if there, are openings in the family section of the park, families with children are asked to move there. But the Tenoffs know they can sell to whoever, they want.
"What the Tenoffs are complaining about is beyond me,” he added.
Tenoff said they have closed on the sale of their other home, and are now financially obligated to pay lot and house payments on two different homes.
"We received an eviction notice ■ because •'we v coiddn’-t afford the , lot
payment on the mobile home and we’re behind in the payments,” she noted. "We’re facing real financial hardships right now.”
Futernick, himself, refused to comment on the situation.
The Tenoffs have filed complaints with the Civil Rights Commission, asking the group to investigate the Park’s policy on families with children. The same charge has been leveled against Holiday Estates by two other families as Well, according to Warren Bonam, field representative for th.e Civil Rights Commission.
Bonam said an investigation of whether or not the mobile home sale has been

Marshall said the- Park dealt with similar complaints two years ago. At that time, he recalled,\he park was closed to families with chidrcn under five years old.

The work force at the Ford Motor Company Plant on Sheldon Road will increase by 300 during the. next 2 years, plant manager Gerald Cania told the Plymouth Chamber^ of Commerce Monday. V
The plant, currently operating with about half of the 1,400 workers it once had, will be redesigned to make Ford's new vacumm braised aluminum radiators, Cania said at the chamber luncheon.
The 700 employes at the Sheldon Road plant have 13 years senority or more, he said. "With the expansion, we hope to gradually add people until we are at around 1,000 employed,” he said.
The plant currently manufactures heaters and air conditioning equipment. Cania said the assembly division, is operating on one shift and the molding division is running two shifts. The new radiators would be manufactured three shifts per day, he said.
Ford plans to invest about $38 mi}lion . on the facility before the manufacturing of the new radiators will be possible. Plymouth Township - has granted the companies request for a property tax abatement on improvements.
Ford’s director of governmental affairs .Horace Sheldon said expansion at the Sheldon Road plant was indicative of the type of cooperation needed to bring back Michigan’s economy.
TJie tax abatement approved by Plymouth Townshjp is a very local

example of the understanding it ti kes to get things iqoving,” Sheldon said.
.."What’s happening at the Sheldon Road plant is part of a nalionWidt and worldwide effort. It’s (the com; any’s) going to be an awful lot different jin the future.’’ I
If Ford is able to sell the new jjk iators to other companies - such as Honda or Nissan - Cania said the company i fill be able to recall more workers over th : next few years. "We will have the capacity to manufacture more of the new rati iators than just Ford can handle. We thi lk we have a quality product for anyone that will buy it,’’ Cania said.' Plymouth Township granted Fore’s tax
abatement request this summer. The company will be exempt from 50 pe ■ cent
I of the taxes on the expansion for 12 years.During the luncheon’s question and
ailswer'sessioh, Cania said the workers at the Sheldon Road plant are participating in Ford’s employe involvement project.
"We started last year and are niw in phase two. We are not real comfortable with it yet, but are confident,’’ he said. "We have a good work force. We wi nt to not just pay people for the work of their hands and bodies but use their ninds also.”

PROGRAMMED AGAINST DECISIONSLike the person in the burning hotel, with the sign reading, DO NOT DISTURB, we make our living selling a need
and we have a good reoson for our work. Someone must do it, since we will all be users at some future dgte. People often ask us, "why ore you calling on me. I'm too young to think of cemetery property."’That may be true, however, we purchase insurance for our automobile, and many people never hove on Occident. We purchase insurance on our home, yet most families never have a fire. We purchase health insurance ond life insurance. NOT WHEN WE ARE SICK, but when we are well.’ We do become sick and often benefit from our health insurance. We die and someone else benefits from our life insurance. INSURANCE MONEY PAYS OFF WITHIN 14 doys after death if the cause of death is normal, but if foul play is evident, or the oge of the deceased does not correspond with the death certificate, SETTLEMENT IS DELAYED AND THE AMOUNT OF THE SETTLEMENT IS OFTEN ADJUSTED.

And he hit the nail right on the head.The Rocks did manage to claim the

"We placed all 13 kids we took and, believe me, we needed all the points,”
Krueger insisted. " I’d said earlier it would be difficult for us to win it all, biit the kids went out and won some matches we had to win to take the title.• "Sometimes you can get by with one of two. kids carrying you, but we couldn’t have done that Saturday and won. And we didn’t. I was very pleased with everyone.”

The older Fletcher had battled his way into the finals in the 201-lb weight class when he got word of his brother’s death. He was to lake on Salem’s Tom Walkley for the 201-lb crown, but he couldn’t continue^nd had to forfeit the match.

Yes, yes, yes, I- know none of the fine institutions I just named actually, go out and recruit star prep athletes. The youngsters just wdnt to play for a school with a winning tradtion and one that is solid academically as well. .
At. least that’s what the coaches and supporters of those schools would like you to believe. Frankly, I’ve never bo.ught that bunk and never will.

Those who emerged victorious for the • Ch efs included Todd Bartlett and Larry Jariga.
Beaudoin in besting the field in the 135 -lb category, ran his season record to • 38-1). He is the defending slate Class A champion at his weight, and he appears headed towards another banner campaign- . ;
Walkley is also having a stellar season thus far and, after setting the school
'record for consecutive pins in a row earlier in the year (12), he’s now closing in on the school record for most pins in a season.
The quick, powerful senior heads into next week’s district competition at Ann Arbor Huron with 28 pins, just two shy of the school record of 30.

"I think we wrestled. well Saturday,” Chrenko noted. "We weren’t quite good -

"I thought we’d have to turn in good performances to challenge for third place, and the kids went out and did just that.”
Salem tuned up for the league affair hy bouncing Walled Lake Central Tuesday at the Vikings’ place, 41 -27: The Rocks concluded the dual meet portiftn of their WLAA schedule with'an unblemished 9-G record.

'half began and the Chargers proceeded to ■ knot the score twice,'once-at, 22-22, and then again at, 24-24.
He continued to calmly watch the action as his charges reeled off 12 straight points to conclude the third and begin the fourth period with a comfoi table, 36-5-1, advantage.
From that point on it wasn t a matter of whether or not the Charger.' could catch up, but by how many wer • the Rocks going to win.
While Mcdallc gets all the ink for putting the ball in the hoop, Marv Zurek and Berry Bell have been a pair of unsung • heroes in recent > Salem victories, according to Thomann.
And, although neither score many | points, their presence is just as important as Medalle’s.Thomann added.
"Marv probably played as fine a quarter of basketball in that third quarter as lie’s ever played for us,” the Salem mentor admitted. "He rebounded extremely well. And, Berry,, he represents consistency out there for us. We are just a better basketball team when he’s out on the court.” 1' Now as the season winds down anil the
league playoffs and the slate tournament approach, Thomann isn’t about to lot his team relax. '
"We’ve still got a ways to go, we’re not satisfied, yet,” he insisted. "We’ve got slime tremendous opportunities ahead ol us, and we plan to go after them.”

Plymouth Christian is affliated with Calvary Baptist Church. The postage-
^stamp size gym DeRenzo and company have to use is attached to the back of the church, and it was never intended to be used by a high school team, according to DeRenzo.
"Our biggest problem is facilities, I mean look at this place, it isn’t big enough for elementary kids let along high school players,” he insisted, looking around the tiny gym, sweat dripping on the floor in front of him.
"We play our home games at Pioneer (Middle School), but practicing here is difficult. And with the MHSAA rule that you have to sit out a semester when you transfer, anyone who decides to come Here has to make sure this is where' they wanttostay.”
DeRenzo’s Eagles compete in the Michigan Independent Athletic Conference (MIAC) along with schools such as Crosse Pointe University Liggett, Southfield Christian and Huron Valley Lutheran, to name a few.
. All the.squads in the league are Class D in size, including Plymouth Christian, although DeRenzo joked in the case of the Eagles it ought to be a lower case "d.”
i r i s t i a n t r y i n g"We’ve only got about 120 kids in the.
. high school, abbbt 50-50 boys and girls,” he said softly, finally catching his breath. "The athletes hdre can’t concentrate on one sport, many of them play them all.
"I guess that’s good for some of them because maybe they wouldn’t play if they went somewhere else. But it’s tough when
' you’re trying to build a winning program.”
This year’s version of the Plymouth Christian boy’s basketball team is a good example of what the lack of numbers can mean to a coach.
DeRenzo only had one player back from the 1981-82 unit that posted a 10-12 mark. And the lone veteran recently broke his ankle, forcing the bearded DeRenzo-
■ to attack clubs in the MIAC with untested, jittery- sophomores and juniors who "have taken their lumps.”
While the boys have encountered problems on the basketball court, the Plymouth Christian girl have . been
- holding their own in volleyball.DeRenzo noted that those are the only
winter sports offered, but in the f«tll the boys can choose from cross country and soccer, while, the distaff Eagles can play basketball. j
When spring rolls around, Plymouth Christian athletes will be' playing baseball, softball and, for the first time, soccer.
Salem volleyball squad dum pedSalem volleyball coach Jeannie Martin
was smiling last Wednesday, but as the week wore on that grin turned into a frown.
The Rocks entertained Western-Lakes Activities Association (WLAA) rival Farmington Harrison last Wednesday and clubbed the visitors, 15-4,15-2.' Then it was oh to the 18-team Howell
Invitational where Martin’s-lroops didn’t even get out of their bracket. In the six- team pool, the Rocks posted a 4-6 mark.
Monday it was on to Livonia Steve.nson, and the powerful Spartans edged the Rocks in three games, losing the first, Ibid, before coming back to take the next two, 15-2,15-10.
Martin and company now sport a 6-3 record, overall, - . ^
Over at. Canton, meanwhile, the Chiefs dumped Northville last Wednesday, 15-8, 15-4. Leading the way for Canton were Kim Braun, Renae Edwards, Missy Aiken and Denise Wright.

. The city. of Plymouth already. has a summer tax collection and charges taxpayers.a one per-cent fee to cover the administrative collection costs.
"They (Plymouth. Township) are still' figuring out what amount they would charge us for the. summer collection,” Hoedel said. "They could charge us on a per parcel basis or an added costs basis or on a percentage basis. ’
Hoedelx said any type of collection contract with Plymouth Township would involve the school district paying directly for the collection service.
"The school board has taken the position against a direct charge to the taxpayer for the summer collection (such as the cUy’s one per cent administrative fee),”Jfe noted. "The summer collection . will be a benefit to the school, we feel we should pay for it.”
The school district estimates that it will save about 9700,000 because of the summer collection. Because the district will receive half its income in July it will not need to borrow and hence will not have interest'eosts to bear.
If Plymouth Township’s offer is not agreeable, Hoedel. saidj the schools plan ( tp approach Wayne County. "We’d see how much they would want to do it. Under, the law, we would then go back tp the local municipality and give them a final opportunity.
"We will also look into having the banks do it, an independent contractor, or
’ even doing it ourselves,” Hoedel said."We would-really like to see the local
municipalities.do it. They’re set up for it. But failing that, we will have to go with one of the other options.”
Plymouth Township is 35.8 per cent of the school district’s tax base, Hoedel said. Other taxing units within the school district are: Canton Township 45.6 per cent, City of Plymouth 14.7 per cent, Northville LI per cent, Salem 2.1 per cent and Superior .7 per cent.
A twice-year collection' means . the district will receive jiis.t under 919 million in the summer and .the same amount again at yearend. Hoedefesaid. ■
portant part) didn’t cost them anything more than their normal share of taxes.
After complaining "so loudly through the years about private schools with phenomenal athletic prowess, it’s difficult for me to take the side pf a private school. But in the case of the Plymouth Christian Academy I believe I must.
The relatively tiny facility off of Joy- Road between Main Street and Lilley in Canton is in the midst of trying to build an athletic program. However, it has been a struggle, to say the least, according to Athletic Director Roland ■ "Butch”
' DeRenzo.Facilities or, to be more precise, (he
lack of facilities has hamped DeRenzo’s drive to turn the Eagles into contenders on the soccer field, the basketball court or the baseball diamond. But he isn’t about ' to abandon his quest. i
He’s also been having! trouble with promising athletes who have learned the' basics of a particular sport, in say fifth, sixth and seventh grade, opting to turn their backs on Plymouth Christian before the start of high school. |
That’s' because of a Michigan High SchoolAthletic Association (MHSAA) rule which states athletes who transfer from one school to another must sit out a
semester before heing able to compete again.
DeRenzo insisted some of the better athletes at Plymouth Christian seriously think about staying around. But,'if they change their minds, perhaps after maybe their sophomore year, they’ll have to sit- out a season and many of them don’t want to chance that.'
Besides, they want to make sure they plav on a team that at least has a hope of
- winning consistently.-However, with a few of those so-called
better athletes around, Plymouth Christian might be able to compete on an even keel with the rest of the squads in the Michigan Independent Athletic Conference.
But how do you convince skeptical 15- and 16-year-olds of that when all they’ve
‘ witnessed for the past two or three years is a high school that does nothing but lose.
I certainly don’t have any answers for DeRenzo, although 1 must admit 1 do feel for him. As I’ve grown older,, and wiser, hopefully, I’ve also come to reajize there is a place for private schools in our society.- And, even though I still don’t like the recruiting- some of the bigger_and better financed ones seem to-get away with, 1 know enough now to at least stop banging my head against a wall because all I’ll get is a headache.
