Week in Review: Maple Theater, Bob Seger, Tom Holzer

A lot happened this past week, and we want to make sure you didn't miss a thing. Here are some of the biggest stories:

In exchange for a donation of $250,000 paid over 10 years, Farmington Hills-based  aims to acquire naming rights of the Northville Public Schools' stadium at Eight Mile and Center roads.

The school board approved a contract Tuesday night authorizing the donation. It awaits approval by the car dealership.

The contract between the district and the dealership about the stadium – which is currently undergoing drastic revamping thanks to a combination of district dollars and fundraising monies raised by the Northville Education Foundation – calls for a lump sum payment of $172,600 in the first year and $8,600 for the nine years following. It is used for several of the district's athletic events including high school football games.

Fans of the  will be able to drink alcohol there when it reopens after renovations this fall, but they'll need a movie ticket to do it.

The  on Monday approved a Class C liquor license for the 37-year-old art theater's new ownership, with the caveat that only movie patrons will be served. The provision can be removed by the township after six months of operations. The "probationary" clause was the final issue needed to resolve months of negotiations over site plans, zoning variances and business operations. And it nearly stopped the entire project from moving forward.

A 20-year-old Waterford man was arrested and charged Tuesday with stealing items from the Orchard Lake Village home of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singer Bob Seger.

Among the items stolen from the lakefront home were a pair of tennis shoes autographed by Shaquille O'Neal and an iconic guitar that graced one of Seger's album covers.

Andrew Douglas Thompson was arraigned and charged with larceny from a building, a four-year felony, by  Judge Diane D'Agostini. Thompson was released on bond pending a preliminary conference before Judge Marc Barron.
