The Farmington Hills police
have released this sketch of the
man sought in the brutal attack
on a 42-year-old woman earlier
this month. The same man is
suspected in the attack, the same
day, on a 69-year-old Northville
woman outside her Lake Street
home. The Northville woman
was beaten unconscious in her
driveway and robbed. The
Farmington Hills woman was
struck with a club-like weapon
in the inside entrance to her
condominium. Police are seek-
ing information regarding the
incidents or the suspect. He is
described as a black male,
approximately 35 years old, with
a medium build, about 5-foot, 10-
inches to 6-feet-2-inches tall. He
was reportedly driving a light
brown, late 1990s model Ford
Taurus. Information should be

operational systems become more
costly than replacement. We've sur-
passed the life expectancy of most
of these building systems, so these
scheduled upgrades will help us
avoid long-term shutdowns due to
unexpected equipment failure.”
He said that areas in the aquat-
ics center, fitness center, gym and
dance studio will be unusable dur-
ing designated construction times.
Due to safety regulations, these
areas cannot be occupied during
the crane installation of large air-
handling rooftop units, which
weigh approximately 25,000
pounds and are about the size of a
railroad freight car, he said.
All of these equipment
upgrades are being financed by
annual cost savings over a 15-year
period, as a result of an Energy
Savings Performance Contract
between Canton Township and
Chevron Energy Solutions, Sharp
explained. No Canton Township
operating funds are being used to
pay for any of the improvements,
including the already completed
installation of new lights, boilers,
andwater fixtures.
“These building upgrades sig-
nal a forwardmove toward stream-
lining operating expenses in order
to better serve the growing needs
of our residents,” said Sharp. “Our
Summit staff is committed to mak-
ing this process a positive experi-
ence for everyone and we will
make every attempt to re-open
earlier, if possible.”
Last year, butterfly masks added to the enchantment at the annual
Daddy-Daughter Butterfly Ball in Canton Township.
