They met by accident By Margaret Meobecher Staff writer Two Frenchmen riding their bikes around the world stopped in Canton by accident last week Before landing here, the cycling duo had plowed their way through Africa s steamy jungles, negotiated passes in South America s Andes Mountains and traveled, unscathed, through war zones In El Salvador and Nicaragua Their journey c a m e to a halt in Can ton, when cyclist Francois Gobillot, 24 was knocked off his 10-speed bike by a c a r driven by a man later charged with drunk driving Gobillot and best friend Yves Baunex, 23, were pedaling through Canton about 7:30 p.m. Memorial Day. They were heading west on Michigan Avenue with plans to spend the night in Ann Arbor Just west of Hannan Road. Gobillot was hit from behind by a westbound car traveling in the lane closest to the shoulder Gobillot's head hit the car's windshield and he landed on the shoulder of the road He was treated for cuts and bruises Witnesses told police the driver of the car, a 24-year-old Canton man walked away f r o m the scene of the ac cident He later was apprehended by police and charged with drunk driving when

Breathalyzer?results showed his blood alcohol level to be above the legal lim it The driver is presently f r e e on $300 bond and will appear before 35th Dis t n c t Judge James C.arber In 35th District Court July 3 GOBILLOT was down but not out of luck in Canton Residents went out of their way for the next three days to help the sidelined Frenchmen The Canton Fire Department transported Gobillot to Oakwood Canton Center Hospital Another driver went ahead to catch Gooillot's friend Baunez, who had been ruling a couple miles farther up the road Someone else lent Gobillot a coat. THE HUNT family, in front of whose Michigan Avenue residence the accident had occurred, gave the cyclists a home for the next few days "They showed me on the globe where they had been It's unreal how far they've traveled." 21-year-old E m m e t t Hunt said. Firefighter Claude Gersky admits be had his doubts when Gobillot told him he was riding his bike around the world But those doubts were quickly erased "When the squadman found Gobillot's passport, it had been stamped in places all over the world," Gersky said After leaving Gobillot at the hospital, firefighters started looking a new

rim for Gobillot's badly damaged front wheel The owner of the Easy Rider Bike Shop on North Sheldon Road. Gordon Wrenbeck, was spending a quiet day at borne Memorial Day when the firefighters called "They said s o m e Italian bikers had an accident, and one needed a new rim for his bike." Wrenbeck recalls "I told my wife Sue about it. and she told me to call the fire department back to make sure it wasn't a joke "I called back and sure enough it was true Next thing I know there's a fire truck in my driveway," Wrenbeck said But the rim didn't fit Gobillot's bike The next day. Hunt, their host, took the cyclists over to Wrenbeck's shop. "This is weird," Wrenbeck said, "today two F r e n c h m e n need a wheel, yesterday it was two Italians Wrenbeck quickly put together that these were the "Italians" the firefighters had tried to help the night before After taking one look at the damaged bike, he opened his workshop for the cyclists GOBILLOT r e f e r s to his bike as his wife, and although it's evident she's loved, she's now well past her prime "We wanted to replace the front axle, but Gobillot wouldn't let us, beP t e a s e turn t o P a g e 5

Peace nears An attorney representing Loe Merit Commission in its battle with Treasur er Maria Sterlini over unspecified allegations of wrong doing in Canton Township, recommends investigation of the incident be closed Several months ago, Sterlini accused unnamed township officials of committing serious violations of the law " Despite being subpoenaed, the treasurer refused to detail or document the charge In a letter to the commission. Detroit attorney Aloys ins Suchy said. "After careful review of the letter dated May 1. sent to the Canton Township Merit Commission by (attorney) J a m e s Canham on behalf of Maria Sterlini. I suggest that the investigation be closed." Merit Commissioner Bruce Patterson said. "I think It (the letter f r o m Suchy) will conclude the incident " Patterson will be resigning f r o m the commission soon to run for 35th District judge The Merit Commission has jurisdiction over matters relating to wage scales and fringe benefits for the township's approximately 120 classified employees Its next monthly meeting is scheduled for June 27 Merit Commission Chairman Phil LaJoy said classified employees were the m a j o r concern in this incident 'We wanted to know that there were no violations by classified employees."
