The Plymouth Community
Arts Council Holiday Art Sale
exceeded expectations this year
despite the early morning ice
storm the day of the event,
explained Arts Council Director
Lisa Howard. Fourteen local
artists soldhandcrafted and orig-
inal art pieces while theWestern
Michigan Ceramics Guild sold
more than $1,000 worth of
unique student pottery.
IllustratorNickBair took custom
orders for his designs that sold
out earlier in the morning, she
said.
Fourth grade student
Beatrice Savage sold almost all
of her colorful hand-knit hats
while high school jewelry
designer Heather Graham sold
two dozen of her hand-painted
watercolor pendants and origi-
nal bracelet designs, she added.
As a result of her experience at
the arts council, she was invited
to sell at a private home party
gift sale in Northville. Other hot
items were felted Nana's knits
gloves and mittens, along with
Christina Evans photographic
jewelry and Lori Barry's fused
glass trays and night lights. For
additional information visit
www.plymoutharts.com.
The sale featured one-of-a-
kind art pieces with the dual
goal of promoting local artists
and bringing in funds for art pro-
gramming.
“We don't charge for tables as
many art fairs do, but work with
artists on a 70/30 split on their
sales for the day. It is an arrange-
ment that benefits the artists,
who don't have to put out any ini-
tial money, but only pay on their
actual sales,” said Howard.
Students from the Plymouth
Canton Educational Park
National Honor Society served
as volunteers for the event, help-
ing with customer checkout, car-
rying customer packages, work-
ing the bake sale and making
sure the Holiday music kept
playing. All proceeds from the
Bake Sale went directly to the
National Honor Society, she
noted.
There are still a few pieces of
pottery available for sale on site,
along with gift-able art block
prints by Tony Roko and Brian
Rizza, Howard said. “Gift certifi-
cates can also be purchased in
our office or over the phone, and
sent directly to the recipient,”
she added.
For more information, call
(734) 416-4278 from 9 a.m. until 4
p.m. Monday throughThursday.
The arts council is located at
774 SheldonRoad, Plymouth.
The Belleville Police
Department may soon have some
cutting edge equipment that pro-
tects both officers and the public.
To make that a reality, however,
the department will need a little
help fromcitizens.
The department is eligible for
a grant of $2,750 to fund 10 body
cameras for patrol officers
through Michigan Municipal
Risk Management Authority. The
cameras and supporting equip-
ment, however, cost $5,500 and
the local community or depart-
ment must match the grant
funds. That leaves the depart-
ment short $2,750 for the pur-
chase of the equipment, nowcon-
sidered by many to be crucial to
policework.
According to Police Chief Hall
Berriman, the department has
until April to match the grant
funds.
He recently told members of
the Belleville City Council that
he was confident the community
would help with donations to
ensure the officers had the body
cameras.
The total cost for the 10 cam-
eras is $4,000 while the support-
ing equipment is $1,500.
Berriman said the grant appli-
cation was originally submitted
by former Police Chief Gene
Taylor. Because of the lack of
matching funds, the application
went dormant, he said. Berriman
said he reapplied recently for the
funding.
There was no specific plan for
solicitation of donations
announced.

Belleville police need matching funds for body cameras
Arts group still hopes to buy school
Negotiations to sell Central Middle
School in downtown Plymouth to the
Plymouth Area Recreation Complex
(PARC) groupwill continue.
Members of the Plymouth Canton
Board of Education agreed to continue
negotiating with the group, which plans to
renovate the school into a regional com-
munity center. All seven members of the
board agreed to continue the negotiations
last week, the district will also entertain
other offers for the building and property
located on Main Street near downtown
Plymouth.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Michael
Meissen said the resolution will help in
finalizing a sale, if a potential agreement
is negotiated for the Central property
which include 4.25 acres occupied by the
Plymouth Cultural Center, 1.15 acres uti-
lized by the Miracle League of Plymouth
special-needs baseball field and nearly 10
acres of athletic field. The school occupies
about 6½acres of land.
“For me (the resolution) makes clear
we recognize there has been an ongoing
negotiation, and we don't want that
momentum to stop,” Meissen said. “If
there's a deal to be done there, we want to
do what we need to do to bring it to
fruition.”
Neither the cultural center or the
Miracle League field would be included
in any sale, according to appraisers who
claim the value to buyers would be dimin-
ishedby the long-termleases inplace.
The board of education opted to close
the historic middle school at the end of
the next school year in June of 2015. A
new middle school, located at Canton
Center and Cherry Hill roads in Canton
Township is expected to open in
September, housing the majority of mid-
dle school students who are Canton resi-
dents, according to a population survey
the district executed.
Organizers of the PARC group said they
were not ready to discuss the status of any
negotiations for the purchase of the prop-
erty at this time.
from the State Tax Commission, that for-
bids the foreclosure of publicly-owned
land.
In November 2013 attorneys for the
City of Detroit were forced to withdraw
their request for a hearing in Wayne
County Circuit Court regarding the law-
suit filed against Plymouth Township and
Wayne County demanding the return of
the land. The withdrawal was based on
the relationship of Plymouth Township
with the law firm Miller-Canfield, the
same firm chosen by the City of Detroit
officials to represent the municipality in
the city bankruptcy filing.
“The case is moving along and is on
track,” said attorney John Nader, who is
representing Detroit in the matter. “We're
going tounwind this in court.”
The case is in the court of Wayne
County Circuit Judge Robert J. Colombo,
Jr.
Last Friday a court motion hearing was
cancelled after when township attorney
Kevin Bennett filed for a delay. Attorneys
for both Detroit and the township are
each seeking a Summary Disposition in
their respective favor and are working to
coordinate a hearing date in early 2015
according to informed sources. A
Summary Disposition allows parties to a
civil action to submit an agreed-upon stip-
ulation of facts to enable the court to ren-
der judgment rather than engage in a trial.
The land in question was on the tax
rolls valued at more than $15 million sev-
eral years ago, but that value was
decreased markedly by assessors in the
years immediately preceding the sale to
the township. The prison farm property
involved in the Detroit vs. Plymouth
Township lawsuit is not part of the 126-
acre plot owned by the state east of Ridge;
an area littered with abandoned cellblock
buildings. The highly-contaminated prop-
erty, once used as a dump, has been
moved by state legislators into the Fast
Track Land Bank Authority with hopes
the state can find a buyer for clean-up and
sale.
