While motorists have beenfuming at the delays caused bytrains blocking various road-ways in both Plymouth andCanton, officials throughout thearea have expressed concernregarding the impact the situa-tion could have on emergencyresponse times.

Last Friday, Plymouth CityManager Paul Sincock said thathe had just sent another emailnotifying the fire department ofa roadway blocked by a train,something that has become afamiliar condition during the

past week. CSX Railroad spokesperson

Gail Lobin said that the compa-ny is aware of the recent block-ages and traffic delays inPlymouth.

“We are indeed aware of theissues in Plymouth,” she saidlast week in response to ques-tions about the inordinate num-ber of complaints receivedregarding blocked crossings in

the Plymouth-Canton communi-ty.

Plymouth city officials, whosay they have no control over therailroad operations, issued sev-eral prepared press releasesduring the past weeks confirm-ing stalled trains and blockedintersections, causing trafficdelays and congestion. Area res-idents say the long delays areunusual, unreasonable and pos-

sibly dangerous considering thehazardous materials that regu-larly traverse the communityutilizing railway transport.

Canton Township EmergencyPlanner Kathy Rich said lastFriday that the crossing atHaggerty Road north of VanBorn was completely closed andwas expected to remain impass-able for at least 24 hours.

“The rail needs repair,” Richsaid.

Delays in Plymouth wereblamed on a change in service.

The Friends of the JohnGlenn Planetarium celebratedtheir successful efforts to reno-vate and upgrade the facilitylast week with a grand re-opening celebration.

The 2016 renovation andreopening of the facility willonce again inspire the wonderof astronomy for students andthe community, a districtspokesperson said. It will alsoopen the door to the explo-ration of career paths in sci-ence, engineering and techni-cal mathematics, she said.

The planetarium, originallyopened in November 1964,was state-of-the-art in con-struction, technology and pro-gramming at that time. Theplanetarium was used asWayne-Westland CommunitySchools educators offered highschool classes in space scienceand astronomy and providedplanetarium presentations tostudents and community mem-bers for nearly a half a centuryuntil the antiquated analogequipment fell into disrepairforcing the closure of the plan-etarium about a decade ago.Parts to keep the planetariumequipment operating and

functional were no longeravailable as technologyadvanced, district officialssaid

The reopening was madepossible by more than $60,000in upgrades, repairs and reno-vations funded by communityorganizations, alumni and pri-vate contributors led by JohnGlenn alumni Steve Koponenand his wife, Sandi, who bothgraduated from the school in1989.

Koponen set up aGoFundMe internet page tohelp pay for the neededrepairs and upgrades to theplanetarium. Koponen, now ascience teacher in theFarmington Public Schools,learned about the dilapidatedcondition of the planetariumlast June when he and his wifewanted to rent the facility for asmall reunion of friends.

He established theGoFundMe site in an effort tobring back one of his bestmemories about his time inthe school district.

One of the most compellingreasons we study astronomy isto satisfy our fundamentalcuriosity about the world in

which we live. The planetari-um allows students to learn inan inspiring, exciting, immer-sive way using current technol-ogy that is familiar to them,educators said.

With the renovations, theJohn Glenn planetarium isnow completely interactive,according to Astronomyteacher David Christiansen.

“We tell it to do somethingand it does it. It is just like acomputer at home, only we

have an entire dome.” Thenew technology also offersmovies in an IMAX-like settingthat aids in teaching a widerange of subjects.

“Not only do we have a newprojector, we've got new light-ing and the new sound is stateof the art,” said PrincipalDavid Ingham.

“It's all digital, web-based.We can do a lot of interactive

during the emergency noting thatHenderson opted to risk his ownlife on the chance he could save achild.

“These are heroes you seestanding before you tonight,”Laurain told the board members,officials and audience members

about the men and womenreceiving awards for theiractions. Laurain also said thatthe fire and police departmentsfrom Belleville and the SumpterFire Department should be rec-ognized for the aid they offeredduring the blaze which knockedout electrical lines and caused agas fire.

tional changes in how we servicelocal customers. During this timewe were, and remain, in contactwith local officials and local busi-nesses,” CSX said in a preparedstatement following inquiriesregarding the traffic impedi-ments.

Lobin said that earlier in theweek the company implementedsome infrastructure improve-ments including the installation

of an air-pump system. She saidthat CSX safety personnel werein Plymouth to “observe firsthand” how the new equipment isoperating, and that the situationappears to be improving.

“While our community andsafety lead was in Plymouth, hespoke with the town manager(sic) who indicated that no newcomplaints from constituentswere received this week. Weattribute this to the improve-ments that were implemented onMonday. We will continue tomonitor the new operation planand systems and will continue

communicating with town offi-cials,” she added.

Contrary to those reports,Sincock denied any contact fromthe railroad officials and statedhe is still very concerned aboutthe ongoing delays and said com-plaints from upset area residentsare still being received.

“One other thing I'm very con-cerned about,” Sincock said, “ispedestrians looking for ways tocross the tracks of the stalledtrains-walking down the tracks.This is very dangerous.”

Sincock said that he hadreceived a phone call from some-

one at the Federal RailroadAdministration who said they“were working with the CSX onthe problem.”

CSX operational policyrequires that trains be brokeninto two parts whenever a block-age is expected to continue formore than 10 minutes. Last week,when an afternoon westboundtrain blocked the Ann ArborTrail-Haggerty Road intersectionat the same time it was blockingsouth Main Street and Farmer,the train stopped beforeapproaching the yard office atthe Plymouth “Y” and cars at the

end of the train were unhitchedand left on a siding.

CSX trains communicate bycomputer and a sophisticatedmonitoring system, both centrallydispatched from Chicago, offi-cials said.

“We apologize for the incon-venience this had caused to thecommunity,” Lobin said in herresponse to the situation.

“The line is important to theentire region to balance the safedelivery of commerce. CSX iscommitted to working towardlimiting the impact of our opera-tions in the area.”

The competitionbegan with the announcementfrom the arts council last fallseeking works from artists andphotographers to become part of

a temporary outdoor public artinstallation in the city.

The artists were asked to inter-pret the words Art in Nature intheir entries.

“When we saw the communitysupport for the DIA's Inside|Outprogram two years ago when itcame to Romulus, we knew wewanted to do something to furthercultivate that enthusiasm for thearts,” said Maria Lambert, chairof the Romulus Arts Council.

More than 150 pieces of art-work were received from artistsin Michigan, New York, NewJersey, Kentucky, Ohio andChicago, Ill. A jury of expertschose 10 to be temporarily dis-played throughout the citybetween June 2016 and June2017.

There will be some changesmade.

Those looking to pay fines,obtain information or evenappear before a judge at the34th District Court in Romuluswill have to find their way to theformer Merriman ElementarySchool beginning late this sum-mer.

Construction on the $11 mil-lion remodeling of the courtbuilding is expected to begin in

August and completion of the15,000 square foot addition andremodeling of the court build-ing will take from 12 to 18months, according to officials.

While the construction isunder way, court operations willmove to the former schoolbuilding at 15303 MerrimanRoad, south of Eureka. The 34thDistrict Court currently servesthe cities of Belleville andRomulus and the townships of

Huron, Van Buren andSumpter, along with LowerHuron Metropark and MetroAirport.

The renovation of the build-ing will be paid for by a $20funding unit fee levied on alltickets in the communitiesserved for about 18 months,along with a bond sale. The Cityof Romulus has approved thebond sale, although the court isexpected to repay all the bonds.

The architect on the projectis the OHM firm and GeorgeAuch as the construction man-ager.

Chief Judge Tina BrooksGreene is expected to presentthe new court budget and reno-vation plans to the servicemunicipalities beginning nextmonth.

In an effort to contain costs,the court has assigned offend-ers from the court work pro-

gram to begin work on makingabout half the school adaptableto the court needs. The court-rooms will be moved to formerclassrooms during the construc-tion interim and the judges andclerks will share a classroom astheir chambers.

The planned renovationsinclude technology upgradesthat will allow for less paper-work at the court and bettercommunication.

Laurain explained that whilepolice were first on the scene,they had been beaten back by theintense heat and flames, althoughthe officers were able to directfirefighters to the general locationof the 2-year-old girl, AmariyanaWells. Henderson, the first fire-fighter to arrive, entered thebuilding and crawled through theburning debris to find the childdespite not having his helmet,which had been forgotten.

Fire Chief Dan Besson alsopraised Henderson's actions.

“It was a split second deci-sion,” he said. Henderson has alsobeen nominated to two nationallife-saving awards for his actions.

After crawling through theburning home, finding the child

and carrying her out of the infer-no, Henderson handed her toparamedics who began life-savingprocedures. He then took off hisburned and debris-embeddedjacket, new only a week before,climbed into the Huron ValleyAmbulance and drove to the hos-pital while two EMTs worked onthe child who had suffered third-degree burns on her back, legsand arms and severe smokeinhalation.

Other awards presentedincluded unit commendations todispatchers Whitney Smolinski,Julie Jones and Rob Martin; cer-tificates of commendation topolice officers Adam Byrd andMark King; a certificate of meritto police officer Eric Dougherty;unit commendations to firefighterDavid Schuler and DavidBrouillette and lifesaving awardsto John Henderson and BronsonCampbell.

Nearly 200 people took part inthe annual Mayor's FitnessChallenge in Romulus this year.

The fitness challenge tookplace from Jan. 11 to March 14,said Andy McKay, who coordi-nates the program at theRomulus Athletic Center. Alltogether, 193 members took partand lost more than 875 pounds,combined.

“It's fun when people are chal-lenged, how they step up and putan excellent effort together andit's all for being fit,” saidRomulus Mayor Leroy Burcroff.

On the men's side, Jeff Conleyfinished in third place, losing 22pounds or 8.12 percent of hisoverall weight. Matt Scully, thefirst-place finisher last year,came in second, losing 28

pounds, or 8.96 percent of hisoverall weight. Josh Bates wasthe top finisher; he lost 25pounds, about 10.1 percent of hisbody weight.

Winners were selected basedon percentage of body weightlost, not the number of pounds.
