OUR VIEWS Plymouth's loss is Canton's gain

The bad news, for the Plymouth arts community, is the loss of Jennifer Tobm, who is leaving her post as director of the Plymouth Community Arts Council after five years to lead the new performing arts center in Canton The good news is twofold Tobin gets to live out a child­ hood dream by having her own theater with a stage, and she’s only moving across the city/township line, where she’ll likely remain a key influence on the arts in both communities That’s great news because the PCAC has been leading an effort recently to become more involved with the sur­ rounding communities, forming a sort of triad of arts offi­ cials that basically works on the premise multiple heads work better than one Tobm has had a great run at the PCAC She started nearly 10 years ago, founding one of the best programs around for kids, the Whistle Stop Players When she got there, the center had only a small office space, not much money and had to find venues all over the community to host the programs it had Now, the PCAC is entrenched in its own home at Junction and Sheldon, and its programming continues to PAUL HURSCHMANNI STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER offer some of the best arts rewards in the area Of course, Tobm hasn’t done it all by herself There is Lauren Campeau, left, and Christine Defray interview one another as they build skills to act as student tutors in the Writing Center during fourth hour English teacher Jan Carney said the tutoring program is going very well Plymouth High School has sailed through its first semester smoothly For inter­ the quiet, anonymous donor who recently helped the views with students and staff, as well as PHS pictures, see today's Life pages in the At Home section PCAC pay off the mortgage on its new residence, right Observer behind the PCAC And the arts aficionados m this com­ munity are among the most generous anywhere Tobin’s infectious smile, boundless enthusiasm and LETTERS endless energy will be missed in Plymouth, but who bet­ Veterans say thank you Dinner Dance and Auction for the benefit This is the first time I have ever in my ter to run the $10 million arts and education center9 of Rotary International’s Polio life contacted my state representative Tobm has devoted her life to the arts, starting with the A thank you letter was received from Eradication program (yes folks, unfortu­ What a wonderfol experience I have had plays she performed in her basement as a child Her our contact representative, on behalf of nately, polio stall exists in many corners of with my dealings with Mr Stewart He is efforts to educate children in the arts, constantly pushing the veterans at the Ann Arbor Veterans our world). a man who really does care I had officials m Plymouth-Canton schools to fund and support Hospital The American Legion Auxiliary For all that they do, they are the kind­ nowhere else to turn My entire life had arts programs, have been tireless Units of the 17th District recently were est, gentlest, most caring people you will been turned upside down but, thanks to And it’s not like she’s leaving the PCAC m a bad way part of a Chnstmas Shop program at the ever encounter.

^ ik e Som eone's Day!

When is the fast time you told someone that they made your day? When we give someone an honest well deserved compliment such as this it is also a blessing to us It makes us aware of those who have been a positive influence in our daily lives ironically the best way to make someone 3 day* is to tell them how helpful they have been to you and that you appreciate their friendship It seems we often forget to tell those who are closest to us that we value and enjoy their company When it comes to praising people there is usually nothing wrong with doing it in the presence of others People don t usually like to "toot their own horn u so if we can do it for them by praising their actions It usually will give them encouragement Conversely if you must criticize someone it is almost always best to do that in private making sure that the other person knows that you still value them despite your criticism God wants us to use kind words which validate our fellow human beings and to practice His Golden Rule of doing for others what you want them to do for you There Is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings h e a lin g .
