Judge set to retire
29th District Court Judge Laura Mack will be retiring effective March 1, 2020. Judge Mack has served the City of Wayne since 2004. Because Judge Mack is still at the beginning of her time, her replacement will be appointed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Her replacement must be a lawyer in good standing who lives in Wayne at the time of the appointment and who has at least five years of experience as a lawyer. The replacement will have to run on a upcoming ballot to be affirmed by the voters. If affirmed, that person would serve until the end of Judge Mack’s current term which ends in 2024.

Step back in time
Inspire Theatre, 33455 Warren Rd, Westland presents “Suite Surrender” January 10-26.
In the play, it’s 1942 and two of Hollywood’s biggest divas have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel — assistants, luggage, and legendary feud with one another in tow. Everything seems to be in order for their wartime performance…that is, until they are somehow assigned to the same suite. Mistaken identities, overblown egos, double entendres, and a lap dog named Mr. Boodles round out this hilarious riot of a love note to the classic farces of the 30’s and 40’s.
