The Northville Art House will exhibit
Unsettled: The Printmaking of Robin
Gibson, featuring lithographs, intaglios
and relief prints by Associate Professor of
Art at Penn State University Robin
Gibson.
"I am interested in images that suggest
rather than define; a landscape view that
remains anonymous, devoid of identifying
details that might reveal any particular
place or viewpoint," Gibson said.
Gibson received her M.F.A. in
Printmaking from the University of
Wisconsin - Madison. Her prints have
been exhibited widely in solo, group and
juried exhibitions and are in numerous
corporate, museum, and university collec-
tions including the Achenbach
Foundation, San Francisco Museum of
Fine Arts; the National Museum of
American Art, Smithsonian Institution
and theBostonMuseumof FineArts.
Unsettled: The Printmaking of Robin
Gibson will continue through Jan. 28 dur-
ing Art House hours, noon until 5 p.m.
Tuesday-Friday and noon until 4 p.m. on
Saturday.
The Art House is located at 215W. Cady
Street, Northville, MI 48167. Admission is
always free. For more information, call

Pay raises for some elected
officials prompted three of the
sevenmembers of the Van Buren
Township Board of Trustees to
vote no on the 2017 budget.
Included in the extensive
budget were wage schedules
which included a $3,500 annual
raise for Township Clerk Leon
Wright and a $4,000 raise for
SupervisorKevinMcNamara.
Voting no on the budget provi-
sions were trustees Reggie
Miller, Sherry Frazier and Paul
White. McNamara, Wright, Kevin
Martin and Treasurer Sharry
Budd voted yes.
During discussion of the
motion to approve the budget,
Miller said she would not
approve the wage increases
which she said were given
unfairly. She also stated that the
budget was not the proper venue
for awarding employee raises.
She noted that the 3 percent
raises included formany employ-
ees were not the issue, but rather
the manner in which the process
was handled. Frazier agreedwith
Miller and said the raise for the
clerk was an effort to allow him
parity with the treasurer without
the seniority or experience the
treasurer brings to the position.
She stated that Wright was
being paid “for something he did-
n't work for.”
“It's like they can decide what-
ever pay theywant,”Frazier said.
Wright took umbrage with the
remarks and said the dialogue
was improper.
White, a former supervisor,
claimed that the proposed budg-
et includes $4.875 million in
deficit spending necessitating a
transfer of $4.257 million from
the landfill fund and another
$617,970 from the current fund
balance.
“There is $4 million too much
in this budget. “I'll be voting no
on this,”White said.
McNamara, who presented
the budget prepared by the pre-
vious administration, told the dis-
senting trustees that there was
only a few thousand dollars
betweenhis ideas and theirs.
He added that the budget was
a living document that could be
amended as necessary.
According to the budget pres-
entation, expenditures at $15.5
million and revenue $10.6 mil-
lion.
The four yes votes carried the
motion and the budget was
approved as presented.
project to move immediately from the
concept phase to the detailed site plan
and engineering reviewphase.
“The developer worked diligently to
develop a concept plan in response to
township and resident concerns. The
developer has an excellent reputation
as a top of class community-based devel-
oper and we look forward to a continu-
ing collaboration to realize the common
goal of creating a safe, attractive and
high-quality development reflecting the
NorthvilleTownship image.”
Northville Township acquired the
property in 2013 from the State of
Michigan and demolished the former
Scott Correctional Facility for $1. The
proceeds from the sale will be divided
on a 60/40 basis with the state of
Michigan, according to the statement.
The township will receive nearly $5 mil-
lion from the sale which is earmarked
for the continued demolition/remedia-
tion of the former state psychiatric facil-
ity located on Seven Mile Road west of
Haggerty.
“With these funds we can take a
meaningful step toward the long-await-
ed demolition of the main seven-story
building,” Nix said. “This is a true
win/win for the community by redevel-
oping the Scott property, creating need-
ed tax revenue, and demolishing the
main psychiatric hospital building.” Nix
said he credits both Gov. Rick Snyder
and Wayne County Executive Warren
Evans and their respective staffs in
assistingwith theScott transaction.
The Village at Northville project is
expected to break ground in 2017 and to
be fully built out in approximately four
years. When complete, the development
will generate at least $2 million annual-
ly in property taxes, according to town-
ship estimates.
