bench and ordered to pay $81,188.88 in costs
after Mattson's ruling in a report issued last
week. The report cited Mattson's findings
and included a finding that she made inten-
tional misrepresentations in the course of
her judicial duties and hired a magistrate at
the court who was unqualified for the job.
That report was sent to the Michigan
Supreme Court which has the final authority
in determining any consequences James will
face.
A statement from Morganroth indicated
that James will contest the findings of the
recommendation.
“Here's a judge that handles the work of
two judges and has 25,000 cases come in
front of her and instead of complaining, she
works hard and volunteers with charities on
her own time,” Morganroth said. “Why she's
going through this ismind-boggling tome.”
“She never took a penny.”
During James' suspension, Judge Richard
Hammer of the Garden City Court has been
adjudicating the caseload at the 22ndDistrict
Court. He, and the 21st District Court, are
being sued by James' former court adminis-
trator and magistrate at the 22nd District
Court, Pamela Anderson, as a result of her
firing. In those court filings, Anderson claims
her involvement and testimony in James'
casewere a factor inher termination.
James' name is currently registered with
the Wayne County Election Commission as
the incumbent in a field of six candidates
seeking the judicial term in Inkster in the
Aug. 6 primary election. Should she be pro-
hibited from serving by the court, her name
will be omitted from the November general
electionballot.

p.m. through Saturday, and at the

The guest emcee will be actor
and writer best known for his work
with Ed Helms and John C. Reilly
in the hit comedy CedarRapids.
As part of the Northville Art and
Acts festival, the Tipping Point
Theatre is planning a Sandbox Play
Festival which will feature 10-
minute Sandbox performances.
Tickets, which are $10 and $12 are
currently on sale for the four per-
formances, which include, Playing
Basketball by Lori Eaton; The
Men's Room by Matthew Gwynn;
The Last Egg by Ron Burch and
Last Scene byVladimir Zelevinsky.
Due to limited seating, reserva-
tions are suggested by the theater
officials, who received more than
50 submissions from playwrights
across the state hoping to be part of
the event. A committee from
Tipping Point chose the top four
plays to perform. Following each
show, audience members will be
able to cast a vote for their favorite
play. The audience favorite will be
announced along with first and sec-
ond place awards after the 2 p.m.
Sunday show.
The four plays will be presented
at 8 p.m. tomorrow, June 22 and
Saturday, June 23 and again at 2
p.m. onSunday, June 24.
The Tipping Point box office is
open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.
Tuesday through Friday and 90
minutes prior to performances.
For more information, or to
reserve seating for the Sandbox
Play Festival, visit www.tipping-
pointtheatre.com, (248) 347-0003.
A sharp eye for art will pay off
during the festival, too.
During the event, The Northville
Central Business Association is
sponsoring the 2nd annual
Northville Miniature Art Hunt. The
event was started last year by artist
William Hessian, and features
miniature works of art that will be
hidden “inplain sight” inside sever-
al businesses in downtown
Northville. Families as well as indi-
viduals can search the stores and
find thework of art.
The art is left in place when
found but finders get their
NorthvilleMiniature Art Hunt play-
ing card stamped at each business.
When a participant finds all of the
pieces of art, the playing card can
be turned into the Art in the Sun
Information Booth at Main and
Center and redeemed for a prize.
More information and the free
NorthvilleMiniature Art Hunt play-
ing cards will be at the Information
Booth at Art in the Sun on Friday
and Saturday. The Art Hunt will
take place from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.
on Saturday. Visitors to the
Information Booth will also be
invited to “Meet, Greet & Draw”
with Hessian, throughout the week-
end.
The Northville Central Business
Association is also sponsoring
Letterboxing: Historic Northville, a
new scavenger hunt that leads visi-
tors to historic sites throughout
town. This ongoing event will begin
at 10 a.m. Saturday.
Similar to the worldwide craze
called “geo-caching”, letterboxing is
a phenomenon that has swept
across the United States. Nine
plastic boxes have been carefully
hidden in specific sites in
Northville. Clues to the location of
each box can be found at
www.northvillearts.org or at the
Information Booth at Art in the Sun
throughout the festival weekend.
Each box contains historic photos
and information about that site, and
a rubber stamp that participants
use to stamp their own notebooks to
prove they have found the box.
Once found, the boxes are carefully
returned to their hiding place for
the next participant to discover
later.
The letterboxes will be hidden
throughout the summer and fall, so
school groups, families and individ-
uals can participate in the hunt
beyond theArts andActsweekend.
The first clues are available at
the Arts and Acts Information
Booth at Main and Center streets in
downtownNorthville.

STATE OF MICHIGAN, COUNTY OF WAYNE, CHAR-
TER TOWNSHIP OF CANTON, CHAPTER 46, AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE TO PROHIBIT THE POSSESSION, USE,
AND TRAFFICKING IN, SYNTHETIC MARIJUANA, SYNTHETIC HALLUCINOGENS, AND OTHER PRODUCTS OR
MATERIALS THAT ARE IN A FORM THAT ALLOWS FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION BY INHALATION OF SMOKE OR
VAPORS, INGESTION, INJECTION ORAPPLICATION, AND THAT CONTAIN CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES, COMPOUNDS,
OR AGENTS THAT CAUSE OR MAY CAUSE AN INTOXICANT, NARCOTIC, STIMULANT, DEPRESSANT AND/OR HAL-
LUCINOGENIC EFFECT AND AN IMMINENT THREAT TO THE SAFETY OF PERSONS THAT CONSUME SUCH PROD-
UCTS OR MATERIALS AND/OR PERSONS THEY COME IN CONTACTWITH. THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF CANTON
ORDAINS: SECTION 1 OF ORDINANCE
An Ordinance to amend Chapter 46, Offenses and Miscellaneous, Article IV, Offenses
Involving Public Safety, by adding a new Division 4 entitled, “Synthetic Marijuana and Other Synthetic Hallucinogenic Drugs,” to read
as following.
Division 4. – Synthetic Marijuana and Other Synthetic Hallucinogenic Drugs Sec. 46-70. Findings, Intent and
Purpose.
(a) The township finds that synthetic marijuana, consisting of plant or other material treated with chemicals or other substances
that have not been approved for human consumption is being marketed and sold as herbal incense and is being used in the same manner
and for the same purposes as marijuana, with that use having becoming increasingly popular, particularly among teens and young adults.
(b) The township further finds that other synthetic hallucinogenic drugs, including but not limited to substituted cathinones or synthetic
cocaine, consisting of a crystallized power treated with chemicals or other substances that have not been approved for human consump-
tion are being marketed and sold as bath salts, plant food, and other similar products are being used in the same manner and for the same
purposes as cocaine. (c) The township further finds based on information and reports from poison control centers, emergency room doc-
tors, and police agencies, that individuals who use synthetic marijuana and other synthetic hallucinogenic drugs experience dangerous side
effects, including convulsions, tremors, seizures, hallucinations, unconsciousness, anxiety attacks, dangerously elevated heart rates,
increased blood pressure, vomiting, and disorientation, evidencing that these herbal incense products are harmful if consumed and pres-
ent an imminent and significant public health danger to persons consuming such products and other persons coming in contact with them.
(d) The township further finds that, notwithstanding the high potential for abuse, and lack of any accepted medical use, the ability of the
state to prohibit all forms of synthetic marijuana and other synthetic hallucinogenic drugs as controlled substance has been frustrated due
to the changing nature of the chemicals used in the manufacturing process. (e) The township further find that in addition to synthetic mar-
ijuana and other synthetic hallucinogenic drugs, there may be other products or materials containing chemicals or substances, that while
not approved for human consumption, are or may be marketed and sold in a form that allows for such consumption and which, upon con-
sumption, may result in the same serious side effects and public health dangers as synthetic marijuana and other synthetic hallucinogenic
drugs. (f) Based on these findings, this ordinance is adopted for the purpose and with the intent to protect the public health and safety of
the township and its residents from the threat posed by the availability and use of synthetic marijuana and other dangerous products by
prohibiting persons from trafficking in, possessing, and using them in the township. Sec. 46-71. – Definitions. As used in this division, the
