Rehab clients exercise while beautifying therapy center

BY SHARON DARGAY O&E STAFF WRITER Theresa Fischer knelt on the concrete sidewalk Tuesday and planted impa- tiens in the landscape bed surrounding Valley Hill Therapy Center in Redford. While she gardened in the record high temperature, the Farmington Hills woman — who has Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) — barely seemed to break a sweat. After three years in pul­ monary rehab, Fischer is better equipped to climb stairs, swing a golf club and plant flowers during Valley Hill’s annual “Gardening Day” event. “On a whole I would not be as active without it,” she said, referring to the physi­ cal therapy she receives at the Center, home to Botsford Hospital’s outpatient pulmo­ nary rehab program. “I look forward to coming here.

Canton L iberty Fest • J u n e 2011 • 2 1 Canton inks five-year fireworks deal with Pa. firm

BY DARRELL CLEM OBSERVER STAFF WRITER

In a w elcom e reprieve from festival budget-cut­ ting, the tow nship board approved a five-year agree­ m ent w ith Pennsylvania- based Zam belli Fireworks to continue providing the festival-crow ning firew orks show that erupts over H eritage Park.

The firew orks show costs about $25,000 a year, b ut o fficials say som e o f the expense w ill be paid w ith a 5-percent pay cut accepted th is year by the seven-m em ber tow nship b o a r d . Zam belli — one o f sev­ eral com panies that bid for the firew orks show — was rated higher based on the num ber and size o f fire ­ w orks shells set o ff during t h e s h o w . Trustee Todd Caccamo noted that an alternate com pany, W olverine Firew orks D isplay Inc., could have saved the tow nship about 7 percent — a savings he said was appealing on the surface. Yet, he voted alongside his colleagues because Zam belli offered a larger firew orks show that o ffi­ cials say residents have com e to expect. “It’s a signature event for C anton,” Treasurer M elissa

M cLaughlin said. Canton Township officials signed a five-year contract with Zambelli Fireworks earlier this year to produce [email protected] | (313) 222-2238 the annual fireworks display for Liberty Festival.
