DETROIT/GROSSE POINTES — The Detroit Institute of Arts is home to masterpieces from the past and present, and now they can say future as well. Dozens of students from across Wayne County were selected for the fourth annual Wayne County High School Art Exhibition. On view at the museum through July 20, the display features four works by Grosse Pointe South High School students — recent graduates Brody Fitzgibbon, Jack Martin and Kalliope Tsagaratos, and Lily Frey, a junior who’ll be starting her senior year this fall. “I’m very thrilled to celebrate the creativity of the students from more than 30 schools who are all represented here in the exhibition and that

WOODS — The Grosse Pointe Woods Public Safety Department is investigating after two people were found dead in a Woods home. Police were called to the home — in the 2000 block of Brys Drive — for a welfare check at around 12:30 p.m. June 29. When they arrived, they discovered the bodies of an adult male and an adult female inside. Public Safety Director John Kosanke said at press time that he was unable to say who made the call to police. Because this is an ongoing investigation, police aren’t releasing much information yet, until they can make their findings. “This is real early in the investigation,” Kosanke said in the early afternoon of June 30. A press release states that the Woods Public Safety Department is working with the Michigan State Police Forensic Unit and the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office. “There is no threat to the public,” the press release states. Kosanke said police are not looking for tips from the public at this time. He said it could be a few weeks before they’re able to issue more details on what happened to the people at that home.
