A new 'factory' in Canton Township is
getting a lot of help fromfriends.
Local restaurants and merchants, along
with one of the most popular bands in the
area, have teamed up to raise funds for the
development of The Village Arts Factory, a
regional visual arts complex stretching
across 14 acres, that will provide special
programming options. This arts complex
will also feature the preservation and reha-
bilitation of the Henry Ford Village
Industry, including the World War II
Veteran's Dormitory and Cherry Hill
Factory. Additional details about The
Village Arts Factory are available at:
www.partnershipforarts.org.
Your Generation in Concert featuring
Fifty AmpFuse, will take to the stage at The
Village Theater at Cherry Hill for two per-
formances, at 2 and 8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 11
to benefit the Partnership for the Arts and
Humanities efforts to fund The Village Arts
Factory.
Founded by local rockers Remy
Lambert, David Eversole and Billy
Kamalay, Your Generation in Concert fea-
turing Fifty Amp Fuse has built up a large
following locally by transporting audiences
on a musical journey through the sound-
track of their lives.
Doors will open for the evening perform-
ance at 6:30 p.m., which includes awelcome
reception with appetizers from Compari's
on the Park, Karl's Cabin, La Bistecca
Italian Grille, The Post Local Bistro and
desserts from Main Street Catering. Every
8 p.m. ticket will also include two compli-
mentary beverages and patrons will receive
a gift from Showroom of Elegance and
IndigoSalon&Day Spa.
Tickets to the concerts are $30 per per-
son for the 2 p.m. matinee and $75 per per-
son for the 8 p.m. evening performance and
reception. Tickets are available at

Members of the Canton Township
Board of Trustees approved a pay raise
for about 86 percent of the township
Leisure Services Department workforce
lastmonth.
The pay increase came in response to
the raise in the minimum wage in
Michigan to $8.15 per hour by the state
Legislature. The majority of employees in
the township Leisure Services depart-
ment are part-time and receive no health-
care or pension benefits. These employees
have also been subject to a pay freeze that
went into effect in the township in 2011.
The new rate is an increase of about
5.43 percent of the average hourly rate for
the 368 affected employees. Those who
were earning more than the new mini-
mum wage requirement will also see an
increase of the same percentage amount.
Leisure Service Director Debbie Bilbrey-
Honsowetz told the board members that
the raises would be retroactive to Sept. 1
for employees who will now be paid $8.15
to $20.63 per hour. The higher end of the
scale is for those employees who have spe-
cial certifications like those teaching pri-
vate and group swimming classes.
Bilbrey-Honsowetz said the wage
increases were within the department
budget.
The state minimum wage will continue
to increase through January 2018 when it
will reach $9.25.
