Trustees approve code enforcement changes BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — During the Oct. 20 meeting of the Clinton Township Board of Trustees, new policies and approaches for the enforcement of township ordnance code violations were given a unanimous first approval. The changes to the code enforcement procedures come after discussions between trustees, Building Department Superintendent Barry Miller
and Chief Judge Sebastian Lucido of the 41B District Court. They intend to bring Clinton Township in line with how other communities handle the severity of such issues. Prior to Oct. 20, Clinton Township handled code violations as criminal misdemeanors similar to Mount Clemens’ approach. Harrison Township, however, handles code violations as civil infractions. “(The ordinance) would convert us from misdemeanors and decrimiSee TRUSTEES on page 14A

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — This November, Chippewa Valley High School is tackling the timeless tale of “Tuck Everlasting” for its fall musical. Set in the 1890s, the show follows the romance between Winnie Foster and Jesse Tuck, the latter an immortal 17-year-old after he and his family drank from a magical spring in 1808. As Winnie and Jesse’s romance blossoms — and
Winne is faced with the prospect of becoming immortal herself — the Tuck family is forced to protect the spring and the secret of their immortality from the opportunistic Man in the Yellow Suit. The show is based on Natalie Babbitt’s 1975 novel, which has become a classic of children’s literature. “Tuck Everlasting” was adapted for the stage by Chris Miller, Nathan Tysen, Claudia Shear and Tim Federle, premiering in Atlanta in 2015 and running for a month on Broadway in 2016.
