On or about June 6, 2012 the Charter Township of Canton will submit a request to the US Department of Housing and

ed for the residential home repairs and this information will be kept in a file for documentation purposes.

The activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from National Environmental

Policy Act requirements-- An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this project is

on file at the Finance Department, 1150 Canton Center S, Canton MI 48188 where ERR can be examined. This document may be

jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and

that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD's approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related

The Village Theater at Cherry

Hill will feature “US-12: Now and

Then,” a photo series by

Gwendolyn Day and Gregory

Feight, as the photo exhibit this

month.

Free and open to the public

from now through May 29, “US-12:

Now and Then” highlights the

industrial cities, agricultural towns,

churches, schools, and factories

located along Michigan Avenue-the

iconic stretch of highway connect-

ingDetroit andChicago.

Also known as Michigan Avenue

and the Sauk Trail, US-12 is one of

the primary east-west roads across

the central part of Michigan. Used

throughout history and established

as a federal highway in 1825, this

main road got its start as it cut a

trail from Lake Erie to Lake

Michigan and became a popular

route used by French fur traders as

well as Indians. Early American

settlers who crossed the Erie Canal

often landed inDetroit as they trav-

eled to pointswest, such as Chicago

andbeyond.

Along the roads and water ways,

communities sprung up to meet

the needs of travelers and local res-

idents. Travelers arrived on foot,

horseback, stage coach, automo-

bile, rail, and water. They would

welcome a place to stop and rest,

eat a meal, or share a drink.

Several Underground Railroad

safe havens were also located

along US-12. Many freedom seek-

ers traveled this road on their way

to safety.

“US-12: Now and Then” show-

cases awide variety of architecture

that illustrates how mobility

changed the look of US-12 and

sparked an automobile culture that

we still enjoy. Day and Feight's cof-

fee table book containing photos

from the series will also be avail-

able for purchase during the exhib-

it.

This art exhibit at the

Gallery@VT is free and open to the

public from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Monday - Friday and during public

performances at the theater. The

Gallery@VT is closed onholidays.

Student radio auction planned

Women in Inkster will have a

unique opportunity to learn about

their health and ways to improve

their lives tomorrow and Saturday
