The Northville Art House Chalk Festival is back for the third year during the Arts and
Acts Festival. Artists of all ages will transform Center Street into a work of art June 18.
The Northville Art House and the Friends of the Northville Art House will provide each
artist/group one box of artists' chalk. Pre-registration is going on now. There is a $5 reg-
istration/supply fee.
It will now cost groups using Ford
Field in Northville for events $2,200 to
rent the area.
Members of the city council approved
the new fee by unanimous vote last week.
Council members agreed that when
Ford Field is used for events, it often
forces the closure of nearby Mill Race
Villagewhich loses potential revenue.
The new fee schedule and the argu-
ment the citywas protecting the potential
loss at Mill Race Village was opposed by
Dan Ferrara, owner of Northville
Gallery. Ferrara questioned the logic of
the argument asking if a precedent was
being set that would now allow the Art
House to ask for a fee every time a
parade is staged in front of the building.
He suggested that it was inappropriate to
allow one business to ask for a subsidy or
compensation when sales are lower due
to some community or other activity in
the city. He said that the recent flower
sale on Main Street downtown impacted
his business but he was not asking for
compensation.
He said he felt the new rental fee was
inequitable and that the council mem-
bers should have considered the impact
of the newruleswhichwill become effec-
tive in 2017.
The new rule was also opposed by
Toni Genitti of Genitti's Hole-in-the-wall
who suggested that the new fee could
cost the city several major events that
bring crowds to the community when
other venueswouldnot charge.
Mayor Ken Roth told the council
members that surrounding areas charge
for profit making events in their recre-
ation areas. The Plymouth bandshell, he
said, costs $750 per day and Stoney Creek
MetroPark charges $800 per day.
After much discussion, Roth said that
while it might appear the city is favoring
Mill Race Village, he did not think the
city would be able to devise a ruling or
policy that wouldplease everyone.
The council members approved the
new fee taking out language that indicat-
ed it was to offset the closure atMill Race
Village.
Newly appointed Westland Parks and
Recreation Director John Adams submit-
ted his resignation to Mayor William Wild
last Tuesday.
Adams, appointed to the Westland posi-
tion while still the acting fire chief in
Inkster, was arrested on charges of domes-
tic abuse by Canton Township Police last
monthand spent the night ofMay 26 in jail.
He came under criticism during the
appointment process by both city council
members and the public for the dual roles
although his contract with Inkster expired
May 31, about a month following his
Westland appointment.
Adams entered a not guilty plea at his
arraignment on the domestic abuse
charges and is free on bond, awaiting his
next appearance July 1 at 35th District
Court before JudgeMichael Gerou.
The Westland Police Department will
host a 50th Anniversary OpenHouse from
10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Saturday, June 18.
Following an opening ceremony, tours
of the remodeled police station and ride
alongs will begin. There will be a number
of demonstrations including K9, Taser
and motorcycle demonstrations along
with activities for children and police
equipment will be ondisplay.
Refreshmentswill be served.
The police station is located at 36701

June. 19. The festival will be located at
Main and Center streets in downtown
Northville. For more information, contact
theNorthvilleArtHouse, (248) 344-0497.
The Arts & Acts Festival in Northville
will also feature the Sandbox Play Festival
beginning at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday at
theTippingPoint Theatre.
The Sandbox play festival was started
in an effort to create more opportunities
for local playwrights to have their work
produced, for directors to gain experi-
ence, and for actors to work in a profes-
sional theater setting, organizers said. This
year, more than 80 original plays were sub-
mitted to the competition from play-
wrights across the country and the top
four selected to be produced during the
festival.
Audiences can vote for their favorite
play after each show and the audience
choice award, along with Tipping Point
Theater first and second place awards will
be announced after the Saturday perform-
ance.
Tickets for the plays are priced at $15 if
reserved before June 17 and $20 after that
date and are available at theTipping Point
box office, on the theater website or at the
door.
Due to limited seating, organizers said,
reservations are highly encouraged.
Performances will take place at
Genitti's Hole in the Wall, 108 East Main
St. indowntownNorthville.
Plays this year include:
