Council sells State Wayne for overdue fees
Tattan Park reopens in city
Wayne JROTC cadets attend 3-day leadership challenge
Former city council candidate faces 6 felony charges
Members of the Wayne City Council
have agreed to sell the historic State
Wayne Theater on Michigan Avenue for
$60,000 inpast-duemanagement fees.
The new owner of the movie house is
an affiliate company of Phoenix Theaters,
the company which operates and man-
ages the theater under a contract with the
city. Wayne acquired the theater in 1991
and has spent more than $1.4 million in
operating subsidies and capital improve-
ments since that time. Costs for maintain-
ing the theater were projected at $140,000
annually while closing it would have left
the city liable for $333,600 in existing
equipment leases and management fees.
The city has subsidized the operation of
the theater at about $100,000 annually.
The operating fees due Phoenix since
April 1 will remain an obligation of the
city, according to the sales agreement.
Phoenix owner Cory Jacobson said that
owning the theater will allow the compa-
ny to secure financing for the installation
of new luxury seats, comparable to those
at theMonroePhoenixTheater.
He estimated the cost of the new seat-
ing in Wayne would be $230,000--$250,000
and that he was hoping the installation
would be complete by September.
Jacobson said there would also be new
carpeting installed at the State Wayne in
an effort to “dramatically change the
movie–going experience.”
Language in the sales documents
allows the city an easement to maintain
the large mural on the side of the theater
building and the option to make an offer
to the Phoenix company should a decision
bemade to sell the theater in the future.
Westland residents celebrated the open-
ing of the new and improved Tattan Park
last Thursday.
Improvements to H20 Zone Spray Park
were funded through the Downtown
Development Authority, explained Mayor
WilliamWild and the nearly $4million cap-
ital investment features several new park
pavilions with electricity that are available
for rental by the public.
Also on site is a 1,000 square foot conces-
sion areawhichwill be available beginning
mid-July, Wild said in a prepared release.
Family friendly restrooms will replace the
Porta-johns at the park this month, along
with new park benches and improved
shade areas in the largest park inWestland.
The park is located behind city hall at Ford
andCarlson roads.
Residents are encouraged to enjoy the
park and spray zone free of charge until
Aug. 1 at which time the city will begin col-
lecting a $3 fee fromWestland residents for
access to the H20 Zone Spray Park, accord-
ing to the release from Wild's office. Fees
will be earmarked to offset costs associated
with park maintenance and rangers who
will be on site. Admission to the spray zone
will be $10 for non–Westland residents.
“I'm thrilled that the long-awaited
reopening of the park is here;” commented
Wild. “Tattan Park, home to Play Planet,
one of the largest play structures anywhere
in the United States, and the H20 Zone
Spray Park are among the city's finest
amenities,” Wild continued. “Residents
love these parks and for those enjoying
their summer in our All American City, I
can think of no better place in which to
enjoy awarm, lazy summer afternoon.”
Cadets from the Wayne
Memorial High School Junior
Reserve Officer Training Corps
took their training seriously this
summer.
When the annual JROTC
Cadet Leadership Challenge was
canceled due to budget cuts, the
cadets contacted the Michigan
National Guard for help with
their anticipated training. With
the help of the National Guard,
the students were able to partici-
pate in a self-organized training
challenge at Fort Custer in Battle
Creek.
The students experienced
three days and two nights of
training, including a Field
Leader Reaction Course when
the cadets were put in charge of
a group that had to completemis-
sions with only limited supplies
requiring them to use their criti-
cal thinking skills, according to
First Lt. DennisDean.
Cadets also were trained on
the use of military maps and uti-
lized that training to find points
in thewoods with only amap and
a compass. While on the course
they faced an incoming thunder-
stormand they quickly had to use
land navigation skills to find
theirway out, Dean said.
Cadets also completed a confi-
dence course where they used
their abilities to conquer the
obstacles in front of them includ-
ing crawling under a low wire or
climbing over inclinedwalls.
One of the cadets last exercis-
es was an hour-long road march
with 35-pound rucksacks on their
backs, Dean said.
Wayne resident and communi-
ty activist Christopher Sanders,
45, was arraigned Tuesday at the
29th District Court on charges of
embezzlement, larceny, forgery,
uttering and publishing and iden-
tity theft.
Sanders appeared before
Judge Laura Mack who set a pre-
liminary hearing on the charges
for 8:30 a.m. July 22.
Sanders, who had recently
applied for the vacancy on the
Wayne City Council withdrew that
letter of interest sometime “over
the weekend,” he said. Sanders
was defeated in his bid for elec-
tion to the council three years ago
following allegations of criminal
conduct.
Sanders said that he was
unaware of the impending
charges until “last Friday” and
that he would make no comment
on the situation on the advice of
his attorney, Ron Ruark of Canton
Township.
Mack released Sanders on a
$1,000 personal bond.
The charges include Larceny
by Conversion of $1,000 or more
but less than $20,000 and
Embezzlement by an Agent or
Trustee, both felonies which
carry a prison term of 5 years and
or a $10,000 fine upon conviction,
or a fine of three times the embez-
zled amount, whichever is greater.
The third count, Embezzlement
from a Non-profit or Charitable
Organization carries a penalty of
3-10 years imprisonment and/or a
$15,000 fine. The Forgery and
Uttering and Publishing felonies
each carry penalties of up to 14
years upon conviction and the
charge of Identity Theft carries a
5-year prison term and or a
$25,000 fine, upon conviction.
The charges stem from
Sanders' involvement with the
non-profit Destination Wayne
group, organizers of the Hallo-
Wayne event last year. The com-
plaining witnesses were listed in
court documents as Beverly
Campbell, Paul Strom and Mike
Spence. It is alleged that Sanders
forged Spence's endorsement on
a $1,000 check written to Spence
by Campbell, a signer on the
Destination Wayne account. It is
alleged that Sanders deposited
the check into his personal check-
ing account after forging Spence's
signature as an endorsement.
The offense allegedly took
place Oct. 30, 2013, following the
Hallo-Wayne event in the city.
Sanders is currently involved in a
lawsuit with Wayne City
Councilman Skip Monit claiming
defamation regarding remarks
Monit made at a public meeting
following theHallo-Wayne event.
