Warren elections PARADE to include several OF TITANS write-in candidates BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com

WARREN — Being a write-in candidate is another path to potential election without being on the ballot or winning the primary. A write-in candidate is a person who seeks nomination to office after the official filing deadline for that office has passed. A write-in candidate’s name will not appear on the ballot. However, once a declaration of intent is filed, a candidate may accumulate valid write-in votes, according to the Warren city clerk’s office.

Become a write-in candidate

In order to become a valid write-in candidate, an individual must file a declaration of intent with the appropriate filling official by 4 p.m. on the second Friday preceding the election. This year, that date is Oct. 27 for the Nov. 7 general election. In the event a candidate appearing on the ballot dies or is disqualified on or after the Wednesday directly preceding the election, the declaration of intent is waived. Under these circumstances, all write-in votes cast will be counted, according to the clerk’s office. Barring the death of a candidate on the ballot, if a voter wants to write-in someone’s name that is not a valid or declared write-in candidate or put a candidate’s name under an office for which they are not running, that vote will not be counted.

WARREN WEEKLY • OCTOBER 11, 2023

Hello, Friends & Neighbors! I’m running for Mayor because I know that Warren’s best days lie ahead. I believe in civility in Government. The hard-working residents of Warren deserve a calm, stable City Hall where the Mayor and City Council work as an experienced team to protect your neighborhoods, improve your streets, parks and city services, and offer opportunities for both residents and businesses to thrive. You also deserve a Mayor who works to support every resident, no matter their current circumstances. If elected your next mayor, I’m looking forward to supporting organizations and services like the City of Warren Animal Control to offer free dog licensing and micro-chipping clinics for Warren's dog owners, and with The Macomb County Rotating Emergency Shelter Team (MCREST) in their efforts to help our neighbors experiencing homelessness AND their pets find safe shelter. These organizations are doing such important work, and it’s been a pleasure to lend my support to their efforts. Warren’s future is bright. Great things are happening in our city, and I hope to have the opportunity to support every citizen of Warren as your next mayor. You’ll always know where I stand. And I’ll always stand with you. –George L. Dimas DimasForMayor.com • www.facebook.com/DimasForMayor Paid for by CTE George L. Dimas

MCC AND UDM PARTNER TO OFFER NURSING COMPLETION PROGRAM BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Macomb Community College is expanding its nursing program through a partnership with University of Detroit Mercy. On Oct. 2, a ceremony was held on the Center Campus of Macomb Community College to announce the two schools are partnering to offer a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, or BSN, program in Macomb County. Macomb Community College President James Sawyer and Detroit Mercy President Donald Taylor both signed the partnership agreement at the ceremony, with several college faculty and local members of the medical field in attendance. The new BSN program is designed to expand nursing education opportunities See NURSING on page 8A

WARREN — Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer is running for a seat on the Farmington Hills City Council. Dwyer recently discussed his candidacy and what it means for him as police commissioner if elected. “Most people that are City Council people have another job,” Dwyer said. “It is not a full-time job. I have the drive and the initiative (to do both). “I’ve been blessed with good health. I get up at 3:30

in the morning. I’m in the office (at) 5:30, 6:00 every morning. I’m on the phone many times at night until two, three, four o’clock in the morning,” said Dwyer. “I obviously have the strength and the will to continue in law enforcement.” Dwyer addressed the relationship he has built with the residents of Warren. “Now, I think I have a good reputation with the residents of Warren. And I would just say, whoever is elected as mayor, I am an at-will employee. So if they say, ‘It’s time for you to leave,’ then obviously, I’m leaving,” See DWYER on page 12A

‘MAKING THE PARANORMAL MORE NORMAL’ BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com

ST. CLAIR SHORES — A lot goes into a paranormal investigation, including capturing evidence and listening to recordings. For Jessica Krutell, founder and lead investigator of Mystic Mitten Paranormal, it’s all about “making the paranormal more normal.” Before an investigation, Krutell chats with the residents or business owners to get background information about what’s going on there. “Sometimes, there’s natural causes and explanations as to why they might be feeling or experiencing certain things, too,” Krutell said. “So we try to get all of that sorted out first before actually doing the investigation.” As soon as she and the others get to the house, they turn on the recorder to capture “electronic voice phenomenon.” Krutell later explained in an email that EVPs are any voices that are captured with an electronic device. “Electronic voice phenomenons, or EVPS, are something that do happen somewhat often, not like constantly. But the second that we get See PARANORMAL on page 16A

ST. CLAIR SHORES — I’ve always believed in the paranormal. Living in a state like Michigan where the lakes are treacherous and ships go missing in the night, it’s hard not to. Ghost stories were passed around by volunteers at lighthouses, sprinkled in with the long history of the guiding lights. Some of them chilled me to the bone and some of them stick Ochss with me today. Going into this investigation, I was nervous and a little bit scared. Questions skated around in my mind about what we would actually see and hear that night. What if something comes through that we don’t want to meet? What if something personal comes through speaking to me? See ASSIGNMENT on page 11A

Come Join the Fun! When:

BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com

MADISON HEIGHTS — A local woman is thanking the stranger who rushed to her husband’s aid after the 81-year-old man got in a car accident that left him hospitalized with a brain injury from which he’s still recovering. “We really want to show our appreciation,” said the man’s wife, Maria Fields. “She really went above and beyond.” The incident happened at 11:30 a.m. Sept. 11. Maria’s husband of 55 years, Fredrick Fields, was driving by himself on Wolverine Street, between Lincoln and Greig avenues. He was scheduled for a doctor’s appointment for his arthritis, a simple routine where they massage different muscles. That’s when he plowed into a utility truck for a tree-trimming service, one of two that had been parked on the side of the road where vehicles can’t normally park — a temporary measure while they cut down branches. Maria said it’s unclear how Fredrick crashed into the vehicle. She said her husband is an exceedingly careful driver, always traveling below the speed limit. They know the area well, too, having lived in Madison Heights over two stretches of time, including at least 20 years since moving back. “He must have blacked out and hit the

accelerator, which threw him into the truck,” Maria said. However it happened, the violent collision caused Fredrick’s Jeep Compass to spin around, facing the opposite direction in the roadway. A woman with the tree-cutting service was first at the scene and called 911. She was followed by Deborah Monroe, a resident across the street who has lived in Madison Heights since 2011. “I was sitting at my desk, which faces the window on that side of the house. I was working when I heard a loud boom,” Monroe recalled. “I looked out the window, and at first, I didn’t realize what I was looking at, since the truck was there but the car was sideways, and it looked like it was coming out of a driveway. Then it registered that something had happened.” She said she went outside and helped pull Fredrick out of the vehicle, carrying him to the curb where another neighbor had arrived with a chair from her porch. Monroe began asking Fredrick questions while he rested in the chair. “When we sat him down, he started vomiting. He had road rash-like burns on his arms from the airbag. He kept saying he knew he wasn’t speeding, and that he didn’t know what happened. And he tried to give me his daughter’s number, but he couldn’t remember due to the impact. He was pretty See THANKS on page 25A

for recent Macomb graduates and practicing associate degree nurses. The program will be headquartered at the Macomb University Center on the Center Campus of Macomb Community College. “It’s going to create a real seamless pathway for our associate degree nursing graduates to earn a bachelor’s degree,” Sawyer said. “We listened to our partners in terms of just how important it is to get more BSN graduates out there in the work world. We’re pleased to be able to play a part in trying to do that.” The program’s first cohort of students will begin in January 2024 and the second cohort in August 2024. College officials expect to include between 12-25 students per cohort. According to Sawyer, the first two cohorts will have their tuition and fees paid through a $2 million grant from the State of Michigan. “It’s specifically designed to speed up or promote those pathways from associate degree nursing to Bachelor of Science in Nursing,” Sawyer said. “We’re very excited that the grant will pay for their cost of education.” In-person classes will be held on campus at the University Center, and staff will be on-site to offer advising, career services, financial aid and mental health counseling. For those who attend full-time, the program will provide ADNs with an accelerated pathway to earning a BSN in 12 months. The coursework will consist of seven-week classes in 15-week semesters, with classes in face-to-face, online and hybrid formats. According to Sawyer, students who attend part-

time can finish the program in two years. “I’m really pleased at how collaborative it has been between administration, faculty staff and the two institutions that work together,” Taylor said. “As Jim said, the grant pays for the first two cohorts. After that, you can earn your bachelor’s degree here in nursing for $13,000. One year if you go full-time, and two years if you go part-time. I think you’re going to have a lot of your alumni who are going to be interested in this program with ADNs coming back and getting their BSN.” The signing ceremony was held in one of the college’s current nursing classrooms that was designed to represent a hospital setting. On the main floor, there are mannequins in hospital beds that serve as patients. There’s also a geriatric room and a pediatric room on the floor. “It allows us to mimic (an) acute care facility with private hospital rooms as well as an ER set up. We have two control rooms in this particular setting where two very independent scenarios can run at the same time,” said Narine Mirijanian, the dean of health and public service at Macomb. “This space is primarily used for our nursing students, but it’s also for our respiratory care students, our (occupational therapy assistant), (physical therapist assistant) students as well as our paramedic students.” Students interested in participating in the BSN program need to apply for admission to Detroit Mercy and meet the university’s requirements. Those include having a 2.5 GPA, an ADN and an unencumbered nursing license from the state of Michigan. For more information or to apply to the BSN program, contact Donna Gormely, Detroit Mercy admission counselor, at gormel dm@udmercy.edu.

Warren Symphony Orchestra begins 50th season Nov. 19 WARREN — The Warren Symphony Orchestra will celebrate its 50th season with a new music director and conductor, with performances at the Warren Woods Community Theatre beginning Nov. 19. Andrew Neer is the fourth music director and conductor for the 50-year-old orchestra. Neer, a Georgia native, has lived the majority of his life in Macomb County. He is known for his dynamic and expressive style of conducting and creative passion on and off the podium, according to Joyce Russell, the executive director of the Warren Symphony Orchestra. An active conductor in the Detroit metropolitan area since 2013, Neer’s international conducting career extends from Romania to Bulgaria. He recently earned a doctorate in musical arts from the University of Michigan’s orchestral conducting program. The Warren Symphony Orchestra’s first performance of the season will be Nov. 19. They will perform Dvorak’s Symphony No. 8 at the Warren Woods Community Theater, in the city where it began five decades ago, through a new partnership. Last year, performances were at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts in Clinton Township. “We are very excited about this partnership,” said Russell. The Warren Symphony Orchestra has been named the Outstanding Community Orchestra seven times at the Detroit Music Awards. The orchestra reaches 2,000 elementary students each year through its youth engagement concerts.

It’s also interesting going into an investigation as a person who doesn’t have any connection to the location and who doesn’t have the knowledge a paranormal investigator would have. I wasn’t someone who experienced paranormal activity daily nor did I have the expertise to tell someone why they were experiencing these phenomena. I was just an observer. The air in Dragon’s Landing brew pub was hot as I walked in the back door of the kitchen and into the main dining room area. Employees as well as the owner greeted me, welcoming me to the place where they work every day. Jessica Krutell, founder and lead investigator of Mystic Mitten Paranormal, and Mystic Mitten Paranormal investigator and technician Michael Miller arrived shortly afterward. The investigation and the interviews officially started when she placed her recorder in the center of a chair in the middle of our circle. The owner, Spencer Channel, told a little bit about the history of the building and how it used to be an old social club. A lot of people died here, he said. Maybe the folks that used to enjoy the building back when it was a social club still enjoy it to this day? The employees shared their experiences, with some overall similar experiences between those that were there and others that seemed specific to a couple of people. One of the shared experiences was seeing a tall, dark, shadowy figure somewhere near the back storage rooms. When I first got a look at the storage room, it felt a little eerie, but I didn’t know whether it was because my nerves were kicking in or if it really was as creepy as it sounded. The most shocking thing was when a bartender and manager, Gary Elson, said he and another employee heard Elson’s name called in the restaurant. He dubbed the spirit that he thinks follows him from job to job “Frank.” I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to be in a mostly empty building and hear my name called by someone who was not there. What would I do? Words would come out of my mouth not suitable for publication, that’s for sure. I have had haunted experiences before

THE ONLINE HOME FOR ALL C & G NEWSPAPERS

and all I did was give the area I saw something in a blank stare and stand there frozen to my spot; a deer in the headlights, if you will. I would definitely die first in a horror film. Cortez Sealie, a cook, said he’s been dealing with the paranormal throughout his whole life. He said he can see the spirits and hear the disembodied voices. He also said he knew there was the presence of a little girl and a woman in the building. Multiple employees said they’ve never tried to call out the spirits or have conversations with them for fear of opening “Pandora’s Box.” That’s what we were going to do that night. The first part of the investigation was held at the bar using a device called a KII meter. This device detects electromagnetic fields, according to an email by Krutell. It lights up whenever it detects a change in fields. The recorder was still going and Krutell asked multiple questions as we went. Long periods of silence passed after each question to allow any spirits to speak if they wanted to. With every passing moment, I was getting more comfortable in the space we were in. I stopped breathing so hard, and I felt more relaxed than I did when we started. We moved into the main dining room, being careful not to trip over any of the wiring set up for the cameras. Krutell moved the KII meter and another device, a REM pod, closer to us. A REM pod, Krutell said in an email, was invented for paranormal investigations. The device emits an energy field and will alert if anything enters that space. It also detects temperature changes. Again, Krutell asked questions and we waited patiently for responses. Then Krutell brought out a device called a spirit box. This device sweeps rapidly through multiple different radio stations, Krutell said in an email, and it’s believed spirits can control these devices to put together audible responses. Words came through the spirit box, including some names like “Dylan.” But the one we held onto and the one that seemed to garner the most responses from the spirits was “Emily.” I didn’t know if Emily was a person who partook in the social club or from somewhere else. Was the little girl spoken about earlier Emily? Krutell then asked Emily to speak to us through the recorder and to touch the areas around the KII meter and REM pod. Something did happen to the KII meter where it lit up, but I had my head turned when it hap-

pened, and I couldn’t quite find the device in the darkness. The gasps from the rest of those with me alerted me to what was going on and I finally found where the device was. The green light on the device was slowly blinking and Krutell asked the spirit to activate the red light on it with little to no response. One of the funnier responses we thought we heard from the spirit box was “pound it.” Was there something residual at the restaurant of previous patrons and guests drinking merrily with each other? It was interesting and felt like we were getting a small glimpse of a conversation from decades ago. Before we left the area, Krutell told the spirits multiple times that we were leaving. They seemed to encourage us to move to another area by saying “go for it” through the spirit box. We then moved to the back storage rooms. It was as creepy as some of the employees said, especially in the dark. A red light in one of the rooms gave it an eerie vibe and the pitch blackness made things such as a blinking soap dispenser seem creepier. Krutell set the REM pod down in the back room where Elson and Sealie stood in the far back in the darkness. The rest of us stood in the conjoining hallway in front of another one of the storage rooms. There was one thing I was certain of: It was hot in that back area. Multiple times, the REM pod went off, indicating temperature fluctuations. Krutell used a thermometer to read the temperatures in real time. The people in that small hallway could see as it went from 82 degrees Fahrenheit to 79 degrees and back up again. It was amazing and kind of thrilling to see the evidence right before my eyes.

Some of the employees standing around me as well as myself felt small cold spots around us and rushes of cold air pass by as if someone was walking in and out of the area. A couple employees sat in a chair in the far back room, saying it felt heavier while sitting in that chair. In this area, I remembered that the building might have been an old German club, so I suggested we speak to the spirits in German. After a while, we left the area to go back to the front by the bar. So far, I thought the investigation was going well and my nerves had completely left my body. I was enjoying seeing all the evidence we were documenting. In the bar area, one of the employees poured a beer to see if that would encourage the spirits to speak to us or move something. The last investigation device Krutell pulled out were dowsing rods. In her email, she said these items have a deep-rooted history where people would use a Y shaped tree branch to search for water. Modern day dowsing rods are made of copper and often have free-floating handles so they can’t be controlled unconsciously by the user, the email said. The person holding them also has to stay as still as possible and really concentrate. Krutell said in the email these are best used for yes and no questions. Three different people used the dowsing rods and each time the rods moved in response to questions or commands issued by the user or Krutell. At the end of the investigation, we filed into the dining room to talk about our findings. I went home tired and very hungry, but also excited for more. It left me wondering when I can do this again.

“Write-in votes are only recorded for declared write-in candidates and must be recorded by the voter under the proper office and political party, if applicable, as indicated on the Declaration of Intent submitted by the candidate. If the name of a write-in candidate is recorded by the voter under an office or political party that differs from the office and/or political party listed on the Declaration of Intent, the write-in vote is not recorded,” the clerk’s office stated in a written explanation.

Voting for a write-in candidate

To vote for a person whose name is not printed on the ballot, voters must write the name of that person in the blank space provided and darken the voting target box. They should not cast a write-in vote for a person whose name is already printed on the ballot for that office. According to the clerk’s office, a writein candidate is elected or nominated if they receive more votes than any other candidate seeking the office. A minimum number of votes is not required.

Recording write-in votes

According to a statement from the

Dwyer from page 3A

Dwyer said. “If they ask me to stay, then I’ll stay for a period of time and do both jobs. I’m not planning on retiring at this point.” Dwyer did double duty before as Warren’s police commissioner and a member of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, and he believes he can take on added responsibilities now. He has served a total of nine years as the Warren police commissioner, including three years from 2008 until the end of 2010. “Then I left to become a county commissioner because the mayor (James Fouts) didn’t want me to do both jobs,” Dwyer said. “Around 2017, when I came back, the mayor had called me several times and asked me to come back. So I took the position as police commissioner again in 2017 and stayed as county commissioner for a year and a half

clerk’s office, “Election inspectors must record all write-in votes exactly as cast. The record should reflect the candidate’s name with any name variations or misspellings preserved; the office; and the political party (if a partisan primary).” Once the polls are closed, the write-in votes are tallied. All valid write-in votes are recorded exactly as they were cast. Election inspectors completing this process are creating a record for the board of canvassers to use when certifying votes for official write-in candidates, according to the clerk’s office.

The write-ins

At press time Oct. 6, there were five Warren write-in candidates, according to the clerk’s office. Michelle Nard filed as a declared write-in candidate for mayor. There were four write-in candidates for Warren City Council: Jocelyn Howard, running atlarge; Mo Islam, in District 1; and Randy Hall and Eddie Kabacinski, in District 5. Nard ran for mayor and came in fourth in the Aug. 8 primary election. “Residents were not pleased with the two choices they had (for mayor). They were thinking about not voting. I encouraged them to vote. They said, ‘Is it possible you could do a write-in, so we can have a better choice?’” said Nard. “I found out from the clerk’s office I could. I thought about it, prayed about it and did it, just to give

doing both jobs.” The Warren police commissioner calls Farmington Hills home. “Farmington Hills has been my home for 38 years, and I was the police chief there for 23 years, so I care about Farmington Hills. I have lifelong relationships in Farmington Hills, and I am committed to Farmington Hills,” Dwyer said. Dwyer’s ties to Farmington Hills are complemented by his more than 60-year career in law enforcement and public service. “I’ve had a great career, I believe,” Dwyer said. “Twenty-three years with the Detroit Police Department, in charge of the narcotics division for seven (years), 23 years as police chief in Farmington Hills, nine years as (Warren) police commissioner, eight years as (Oakland) county commissioner, so I’m driven. I enjoy public service. We’ll just have to see what happens.” Call Staff Writer Gena Johnson at (586) 498-1069.

people a second chance to write-in the right person.” Islam’s campaign manager, Ron Papandrea, explained Islam’s write-in candidacy. “He’s got a shot. It’s hard to win as a write-in candidate but he’s got a shot of coming in first in the general election,” Papandrea said. “He did very well in the primary. All kinds of people voted for him in the primary, not just Bangladeshi. But there were two other Bangladeshis (on the ballot) and they split the Bangladeshi vote. If he had been the only Bangladeshi candidate, he would have won the primary by far.” Papandrea said. Howard came in fifth in the at-large

Warren City Council primary where the top four vote-getters moved on to the November election. It was 262 votes that separated Howard from the fourth-place finisher. “I have heard from so many residents, ‘You have to keep going,’” Howard said. “We can’t be the city of the past.” “If you look at Warren from four years ago until now, do you see anything that has changed?” Howard asked. “If you don’t see changes in development and progress, you have to vote differently.” Hall and Kabacinski were unavailable for comment at press time.

Zoey Wright, an employee at Dragon’s Landing, uses dowsing rods to capture paranormal activity. think about it, the more you learn and experience and talk to people who have experiences,” Miller said. “It’s definitely an interesting thing to follow.” Krutell offers her services for free and a lot of times the residents or business owners join her on an investigation. She said she thinks it works better that way because the spirits are more comfortable with the people Krutell helps. People can also feel more comfortable in their own space by participating in the investigation as well. “My slogan is ‘making the paranormal more normal’ because I want people to feel comfortable with these spirits and kind of live side by side with them rather than just assuming that it’s something maleficent and evil, dark and scary. Because usually, like 9.99 times out of 10, it’s not scary,” Krutell said. Krutell tries not to research any history about a location before going into an investigation. If they get any paranormal activity, they start to find the history tied to the location. “I try to do the research after the fact just because I don’t want to go in anticipating to hear from ‘Sandra, Sally’ or whoever,” Krutell said. Miller said he and Krutell have never had any experiences that made them feel they were in danger. “Never been in danger,” Miller said. “Never felt like I was in danger.” Krutell said a person doesn’t have to be of a certain religion to be a paranormal See PARANORMAL on page 17A

into a place, we want to have something recording at all times,” Krutell said. A device Krutell also talked about is the KII meter that detects electromagnetic fields, which is an important part of the process. She said her brother’s aquarium was emitting high amounts of electromagnetic fields at one point. “If you’re around that constantly, it can cause paranoia. It can cause you to feel uncomfortable and, in some extreme cases, can cause hallucinations,” Krutell said. Once they arrive, the investigators get to tour locations and find any hot spots. The amount of activity experienced varies from house to house, Krutell said. Sometimes, activity starts as soon as they start the investigation; other times, nothing happens. “I would like to think that the spirits just don’t know us, you know what I mean? They’re not familiar,” Krutell said. “It would be like somebody just walks into your house and starts asking you all sorts of questions. You don’t know who they are. You’re not going to want to talk to that person.” She added she’s a firm believer in being approachable and friendly during investigations instead of yelling orders. “I wouldn’t listen or respect that,” Krutell said about being aggressive. “But if I see people that are having fun and it’s a good conversation and people are enjoying themselves on that experience, and it’s comfortable and it’s an inviting environment, I would want to be a part of it.” Michael Miller is a Mystic Mitten Paranormal investigator and technician. He is also Krutell’s husband. Miller said you can’t say for certain whether a haunting is residual or intelligent. He said residual hauntings tend to have spirits who don’t respond when asked and the people who live and work in a space have repetitive experiences with the paranormal. “Where you can go to a place and there’s reports of someone walking down a hallway,” Miller said. “You go down there (and ask), ‘Can you walk down this hallway for us?’ And it never happens. But then, they call us a week later and they go, ‘Yeah, it happened again and it’s the same exact thing every single time.’ That could be a sign of a residual haunting.” Miller has been accompanying Krutell on investigations for approximately a year. He said he got into the paranormal by watching paranormal shows and because of Krutell. “It was something I didn’t plan on but the more you’re around it, the more you

investigator. Sometimes, people involved in the paranormal field are religious and use various religious practices and tools to bless the house or pray over the area they are investigating. Krutell said she doesn’t associate with any religion and doesn’t see anything wrong with it either way. “I don’t think that you have to have, you know, some sort of belief in a higher power to understand that energy is still energy,” Krutell said. “There’s definitely science behind it all.” She went on to explain that people have their physical forms, and they also have personalities, opinions and other things that are a part of the spirit and soul. “Your spirit and your soul is the energy behind our body which is just a vessel,” Krutell said. “So when our bodies pass, our bodies just, you know, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Our bodies are just empty vessels at that point, but energy never dies. It just transfers.” When it comes to TV shows, Krutell said for the investigators to get enough material to fill a full run time, it would take multiple nights of investigating. “A lot of times, (on) the TV shows, they’re actually going to be wearing the same clothes and they’re going to be pretending like it’s the same day when it actually isn’t,” Krutell said. She also said it depends on the show how dramatized it is for TV. Krutell has met some TV investigators in person and she said it’s easy to tell whether they’re an honest person or not just by talking with them. “I would say there’s a good portion that’s dramatized,” Krutell said. “Sometimes, they just have to make it entertaining. Sometimes, they just have to capture the audience.” The network running the TV show often has full say, Krutell said.

“The network has control and sometimes that leads to a lot of disruptions in paranormal TV because it goes against what that paranormal investigator feels is right,” Krutell said. It’s important to go into an investigation with a good, clean headspace, Krutell said. She added that if you’re negative, it’s going to be easier for something to latch onto you. “You attract more flies with honey if you’re sweeter and you’re kinder,” Krutell said. “And if you have, you know, a better head on your shoulders, I think you’re going to be safer going into those investigations.” Miller said it’s important for those who are afraid of their residence or business being haunted to remember that whatever else is there is probably also afraid. “Sometimes it’s just best to speak to it with an open mind and be welcoming and sometimes you might feel a change and a change in that environment,” Miller said. For those wishing to venture into the paranormal field, Miller said to find a professional and get information and advice from them on how to start. “Every single person in this field wants nothing more than to have other people have a better understanding of it and acceptance of it,” Miller said. “It doesn’t matter who it is. If you ask them for help into understanding how to go about doing things and how to get started, every paranormal investigator will always be 100% (supportive) in helping that person understand and get started.” Miller said you don’t need anything special but a cellphone and a free voice recording app. “You just need to have the willingness to go out and be open to what you’re feeling, hearing and seeing and to experience it and know that whatever you’re experiencing is true to whatever you feel,” Miller said. “Not to whatever anyone says you might have seen or heard or felt.” Call Staff Writer Alyssa Ochss at (586) 498-1103.

BLOOD DONORS NEEDED AS SHORTAGE CONTINUES AMERICAN RED CROSS OFFERS INCENTIVES TO RECRUIT DONORS BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — On Oct. 4, the American Red Cross issued a news release stating there is a national blood shortage, and donors are urgently needed. According to Red Cross officials, in order for the blood supply to recover, the nonprofit organization must collect 10,000 additional blood products each week over the next month to meet the needs of hospitals and patients in Michigan and across the country. Barry Siegfried, M.D., medical director of the Red Cross Michigan Region, said donors of all blood types are urgently needed, especially platelet donors and Type O blood donors. “When blood and platelet supplies drop to critical levels, it makes hospitals and their patients vulnerable, especially if there is a major accident or an emergency medical procedure that requires large quantities of blood,” Siegfried said in a prepared statement. “We’re asking donors across Michigan to help us keep hospital shelves stocked with blood products and help ensure patients have access to the timely care they deserve.” To encourage members of the public to donate blood, incentives are being offered. Those who donate by Oct. 20 will receive a $15 Amazon. com gift card by email. Details are available at RedCrossBlood.org/Together. See BLOOD on page 25A

SHUT DOWN DRAFTS TO CONSERVE A HOME’S COMFORT

METRO DETROIT — You don’t have to look out the window to know that the seasons are changing. But as the days gradually grow darker and colder, sometimes it’s easy to feel that change if chilly drafts sneak through a home’s doors and windows. Shlome BenEzra, vice president of WeatherGard, said drafts can cause several problems to a home. While they can affect a resident’s comfort level, they also can open a path for bugs or even small rodents to enter. And then there is the energy inefficiency. “It definitely has a pretty drastic effect on heating costs,” BenEzra added. According to WeatherGard, drafts can happen when there is an imbalance of pressure in the home. And a key entryway for drafts is faulty windows. BenEzra said improper window installation can create drafts, and he added that “certain builder-grade windows warp after five to 10 years.” The solution to fixing an old, deteriorating window is typically replacement, he said. Amy Pilarski, Detroit-area general manager from Renewal by Andersen, explained that window drafts can have multiple causes. For instance, she said, a draft may result from a window track getting clogged with debris, which means that it won’t shut or lock properly. “I think one of the biggest things that we see is that people don’t clean their windows on a regular basis,” she said. “Oftentimes if the lock won’t line up, they just need to clean out the track debris.” Some window frame types or materials, such as vinyl, are also more draft-prone, Pilarski said. “Vinyl is going to expand and contract with the seasons in Michigan,” she said. “When it’s hot and it’s cold, a lot of time, the vinyl will get warped.” Pilarski said most window companies, including hers, will come out and do a free inspection of a customer’s windows. But she said homeowners can also do their part to examine windows for drafts by checking for colder air, condensation, whistling noises, or by looking at the outside of the windows for signs. “If they see any kind of gap where the caulking will go, that might indicate water leakage or shrinkage of the window,” she

said. “Or there will be gaps in the window, so it’ll start to sag. You’ll actually see a smile effect. That’s called the ‘vinyl smile.’” Pilarski said wood and fiberglass window frames need to be painted every couple of years in order to prevent rot. In terms of more long-term solutions, she said Renewal by Andersen offers a composite window frame material made of thermoplastic polymer and wood fiber that resists seasonal wear and tear. “When you mix those two products together, the wood can’t rot,” she said. “The polymer can expand or retract with the seasons.” Pilarski added that there are lots of choices out there in terms of energy-efficient windows, from double panes to triple panes and coatings. “Now a lot of the windows out there come with some kind of coating on the inside that will help reflect or deflect heat,” she explained. “Glass has come a long way in the last 10 years.” Pilarski said preventing door drafts is, in many ways, going to involve the same issues. The age of the door comes into play, as both solid and hollow doors tend to warp over time, especially with Michigan’s seasonal weather, she said. “Depending on what it is, some things can start going bad after seven to 10 years,” she said. “It’s mostly due to the seasons here because we have such extremes. One minute, it’s hot; the next minute, it’s cold.” Other possible fixes for door drafts include adjusting the door so that it hinges properly, as well as fixing the caulking or weather stripping around the door if necessary, she said. “After time, the weather stripping can really start to show wear and tear,” Pilarski said. BenEzra also said the wood components of doors can be prone to rot and swelling over time. “The door doesn’t shut properly. The weather strips don’t hit exactly where they’re supposed to,” he said. “Sometimes you can repair a door depending on the condition it’s in with new weather strips. But more often than not, if it’s deteriorated, it’s time to replace the door.” Find out more about WeatherGard in Farmington by visiting weathergard.com or by calling (800) 377-8886.

WARREN WEEKLY • OCTOBER 11, 2023

Professor, students weigh in on SAG-AFTRA strike METRO DETROIT — With the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists on strike, young future media professionals have had a lot to think about. Students at Oakland University were generally supportive of the strike. Brendan Kredell, an Oakland University professor and the director of the university’s film studies and production program, said the SAG-AFTRA strike was brought up on the first day of class in a course about the history of silent film. “So you might think, we’re looking at a time period that took place a hundred-plus years ago and that seems (as) far from relevant as possible,” Kredell said. He went on to say that when film was invented there was a lot that was unsettled and that many things needed to be invented so they could have the film and media industry they have today. “A large part of that was trying to understand what the relationship between capital and labor was,” Kredell said. “And that was a long and sometimes very conflictdriven relationship.” According to their website, SAG-AFTRA “represents approximately 160,000 actors, announcers, broadcast journalists, dancers, DJs, news writers, news editors, program hosts, recording artists, singers, stunt performers, voice over artists and other media professionals.” “SAG-AFTRA members are the faces and voices that entertain and inform America and the world,” their mission states. According to their website, the strike was ordered by SAG-AFTRA on July 13 and started at 12:01 a.m. on July 14. At press time Oct. 5, they were still on strike. As of press time, negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers were ongoing and were expected to proceed on Friday, Oct. 9. According to the Writer’s Guild of America West, both the WGAW and the Writer’s Guild of America East went on strike at 12:01 a.m. on May 2 of this year. That strike ended on Sept. 27. Kredell said he thinks the film and media industry is facing a similar upheaval that the inventors of cinema were facing. “Which is the challenges and the opportunities presented by generative AI,” Kre-

dell said. “And in the face of that, it should be hardly surprising that labor is responding the same that labor did during the silent era. Which is to organize and to try to assert its own power against capital in an effort to try and ensure it can carve out a living.” The students in the class, Kredell said, came to see the historical significance as well. In his classes, the students have been generally supportive. “I’m teaching today the students that will have those union jobs in a couple of years, ideally,” Kredell said. “And those are the very people who should be the most concerned whether or not the adoption of artificial intelligence and other various efficiency generating technologies is going to make it such that the total number of opportunities available in the media industries are lower in the future.” In his film programming class, the students gave their opinions about the SAGAFTRA strikes. The students in the class were from all different fields of study. Zach Andrew, an acting major, said he’s excited the strikes are happening now rather than when he’s entered the industry. “I support them because if I talk to some people that don’t know as much and they take that these are millionaires complaining that they don’t get an extra five, ten million (dollars),” Andrew said. “But these are average people who are just like us, who are just trying to make a living doing what they love.” Shane Strong, a film production major, said that he hopes the VFX artists go on strike next. He recalled later on a video essay that stated if the AI precedent set up by the higher ups at the studios goes through, the higher ups are next because there would be programs that know what movies to greenlight. “I feel like if I was on a board and I’m paying millions, $20 million a year to some guy to greenlight movies and such, you know, I’m either going to get rid of him or pay less,” Strong said. Falon Harris, a social work major, said she likes the fact that they are on strike. She said those that support the strike have to understand the confusion when it comes to people who might not understand that the actors on strike aren’t celebrities, and they feel strongly about the opposite. “I like that they’re on strike,” Harris See STRIKE on page 34A

‘Michigan Moonshot’ Aims To Improve Access To High-Speed Internet For All for going after federal funds that will help us build this infrastructure. That way, it addresses the quality-of-life issues, like the economic development issues for our county, and it makes us all the more competitive.” The initiative will address socioeconomic issues that became apparent over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, when students attended classes virtually and many people were tasked with working from home. Data derived from the 20-question survey will be used to better position the region for available grant funding designated for improving broadband internet access, and providing access to it where it currently doesn’t exist. Phase 2 is an educational component designed to help users connect to the best broadband service available at a price they can afford. Completing the survey at home takes less than five minutes. Those without any internet access can request a paper survey by calling (313) 625-0029. All survey participants are eligible for a $100 Meijer gift card raffle.

Improved access to high-speed internet for everyone is in the crosshairs of the Michigan Moonshot initiative. The availability of high-speed internet connectivity in the community, or lack thereof, affects nearly every dimension of life in the 21st century, from education and work productivity to telemedicine and socioeconomic equity. Through the Michigan Moonshot, mapping and improving broadband network access is a team effort that brings together county government, researchers and everyday residents. “Citizen scientists” are being recruited in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties, and their participation is critical to the success of this collective call to action. The mission is simple: to complete a survey that will provide accurate data about the connectivity, speed, reliability and affordability of broadband internet service across southeast Michigan. “We’re trying to assess the level of service that people have, how reliable it is, accessibility, affordability, all these different aspects of broadband, and if they don’t have service, where those locations are,” said John Culcasi, project manager in the community planning group at the Macomb County Department of Planning and Economic Development. “As we better understand the environmental landscape that we have within our county, that will prepare us

Blood from page 20A

Donors who give blood between Oct. 21 and Nov. 9 will receive a $10 e-gift card to a restaurant merchant of their choice. They also will be entered to win a $5,000 gift card in which three winners will be chosen. For more information, visit RedCrossBlood.org/lunch. The Red Cross offers three ways to make an appointment to donate. Donors can download the Red Cross blood donor app on their cellphones, apply at RedCrossBlood.org, or call 800-RED CROSS, which in numeral form is 800-733-2767. According to the news release, the Red Cross national blood supply dropped by approximately 25% “on the heels of one of the busiest travel seasons and the beginning of back-to-school activities.” Another challenge for the Red Cross is that since many employees continue to work

from home or in a hybrid capacity since the COVID-19 pandemic, that reduces the number of opportunities to give blood at business-sponsored blood drives. “These factors, coupled with an active disaster season, are creating a perfect ‘storm’ and challenging the organization’s ability to collect a sufficient amount of blood products to meet the needs of hospitals and patients,” the news release states. There are eligibility requirements to donate blood. Donors must be at least 16 years old in most states, must be in good health and feeling well, and must weigh at least 110 pounds. Blood can be donated every 56 days. The donated blood is used in a variety of ways, including for accident and burn victims, and for trauma, heart surgery, organ transplant and cancer patients. Patients with chronic diseases also receive blood when needed. Call Staff Writer Maria Allard at (586) 498-1045.

shook up,” Monroe said. “The paneling on his car was gone, exposing the frame and tire.” Monroe deduced he had been traveling to the doctor. She was able to find out which doctor and contacted the office. Putting Fredrick on speakerphone, he gave the office permission to share his family’s contact information with Monroe. She then called Fredrick’s daughter, Ronni Majewski, and informed her of the crash. “I just kept thinking that if he was my parent, I’d want to know right away what happened,” Monroe said. “I just wanted to let someone know. It was important for me to get ahold of the family, who could take it from there.” At press time, Fredrick was still recovering at Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital. “He’s on a feeding tube, refusing to eat. He cannot communicate coherently,” Maria said. “He’s basically bedridden. They’re just trying to get him now into physical therapy.” Maria, her daughter Ronni and her son Rod have been taking turns keeping Fredrick company throughout the day. Maria said they’re so thankful to Monroe’s efforts to look out for Fredrick, and to help connect him with his family. Monroe is no stranger to helping people. She started a nonprofit respite called Hope 365, “like a bed and breakfast for mental health,” she said, with activities and a peer

Everyone’s needs are different.” Hope 365’s website is hope365wellness. org. Coincidentally, Monroe has been visiting the same hospital as Fredrick, since her mom was there for a procedure.

State Champs! W launches recruiting hub for female athletes METRO DETROIT — A dream scenario for a high school athlete is to play on the collegiate level and to continue playing the sport they fell in love with when they were a child. Unfortunately for some sports, there’s just not enough eyes at each game or meet to help a student-athlete garner collegiate attention, and State Champs! Sports Network social media manager Danielle Seaman said she faced the same adversity when bowling at New Baltimore Anchor Bay High School. “As a bowler, you don’t have many options to get recruited or be seen,” Seaman said. “There was one national tournament that I was lucky enough to go to and my family could afford to, so that’s how I got

recruited. Some families can’t afford to go to this national tournament because it’s in a different location every year, and you have to qualify for it, which is more money to pay for other tournaments you have to go to qualify.” Seaman went on to bowl collegiately at Monmouth University from 2018-2022. Now — nine months in at State Champs! W, a women-only branch of State Champs! Sports Network — Seaman and a team of all women have created the nation’s first recruiting hub, which launched Sept. 1, made for women by women. Along with Seaman, Kara Liles, Elizabeth Coon, Amanda Mooradian, Madison Hool and Riley Spurgess, who all played sports in some capacity, helped build the recruiting platform for female athletes in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. State Champs! W, which started in

2021, will offer female athletes the opportunity to create an account on the recruiting platform, with multiple membership options available. Recruitment can be difficult for any coach or athlete to handle, so Seaman said the team felt the platform was an essential tool for athletes. “A lot of programs don’t have funding to go and travel around the country and see

athletes, so this makes it easy for them,” Seaman said. “Some athletes just don’t have experience or their coaches don’t know how to get them recruited, so this is a place where they can go, make a profile and possibly get recruited.” Membership packages range from $9.99-$49.99 a month, with the starter package allowing an athlete to make a proSee ATHLETES on page 34A

TRAFFIC JAM AT THE ‘JUNCTION’ BRINGS OUT CAR BUFFS BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

ABOVE: Fraser resident Robert Reece, in his 1965 Ford Mustang convertible, was among the car buffs who displayed classic cars at the annual Jammin’ at the Junction Sept. 23 in Roseville. RIGHT: Jamie Victory, of St. Clair Shores, brought his Dodge 2013 Grand Caravan “White Lightening KITT” to Jammin’ at the Junction. Victory, of St. Clair Shores, is writing a book about his experiences with the van.

ROSEVILLE — Under a bright sun and across from DJ Chuck and DJ Marek spinning tunes, Robert Reece sat next to the 1965 Ford Mustang convertible he owns with his wife, Carol Reece. Reece, of Fraser, was among the 60 classic car owners who displayed their hot rods, muscle cars and pickup trucks during the annual Jammin’ at the Junction car show held Sept. 23. The event, on Utica Road between 12 Mile Road and Gratiot Avenue, was presented by the Roseville Downtown Development Authority. The show gave car buffs the chance to mingle with each other, as spectators checked out the souped-up vehicles on display. Carol Reece usually accompanies her husband to car shows and cruises, but he did Jammin’ at the Junction solo. But not for long, as many visitors stopped by to ask him about his light blue Mustang with its 289 engine, fuzzy dice and luggage rack he bought in Nashville. “We bought the car in 1984. The original color was midnight blue,” Reece said. “It’s got the original ashtray, door handle, radio and horse emblem in front of it. My wife and I both drive it. Carol is the one who picked out the color.” When they bought the car nearly 40 years ago, it came with some problems. “We found out the frame was shot,” Reece said. “We didn’t know we bought a piece of junk then.” The couple took it to a local collision shop, which went out of business. Therefore, the Mustang sat quiet for a long time. “We shoved it away for 10 years,” Reece said. “We didn’t know what we were going to do with it. We had a lot of money invested in it. We didn’t know if we could get anything out of it.” The couple eventually found two men who made the Mustang’s engine rev again. “Jerry did all the mechanical work on it,” Reece said. “Kevin brought it back from the scrapyard. He did the restoration from the frame up. Most of this car is all new.” The Reeces take the Mustang to all kinds of car shows and even have brought it to nursing homes for people to view it. “One lady, when we pulled up, she said, ‘Stop that car. That’s a Mustang,’” Reece said. “People come along, blow their horns and yell, ‘Hey, nice car.’ It’s nice that people do enjoy See JUNCTION on page 33A

it. That’s what this is all about.” Reece believes there are different reasons people enjoy vintage cars. “The way they look, how they were built. You can just look at a car and know the different ages,” Reece said. “The ’57 Chevy had one look. The ’58 Chevy had a distinctive look. The ’59 Chevy had one look.” Not far away from Reece, Jamie Victory was “Jammin’ at the Junction.” Victory — well-known in St. Clair Shores for his disc jockey skills and fashionable Detroit Tigers uniform — displayed his Dodge 2013 Grand Caravan he calls White Lightning KITT. It’s written on the front window, high enough so he can see when driving. He got the “KITT” nickname from the 1980s television show “Knight Rider,” starring David Hasselhoff. Victory has owned three different vehicles he has called “White Lightning,” named after a “bad storm.” “I was looking out my back door, and it looked like white lightning,” Victory said. Victory has decorated his van with fuzzy dice and two stuffed animal tigers that

pay homage to his favorite sports team. He also has a large teddy bear that fits snugly into the passenger seat. It keeps the memory of his mother alive. “I got this teddy bear from a biker picnic,” he said. “I named it after my mom, Teddy.” Victory plans to share his stories about White Lightning with others. He’s in the process of writing a book called “Adventures of Jamie Victory and White Lightening III KITT.” “I’m almost there. It should be out soon, hopefully,” he said. “I asked my grandmother, ‘Can you help me to write a book?’ She started helping me. She got sick. She passed away. When I got White Lightning II, I started writing again.” One fun experience was participating in this year’s St. Clair Shores Memorial Day parade. “I had people on both sides of the street yelling, ‘White Lightning. Hey, Jamie!’” Victory said. “I never had so much fun.” Victory has a daily ritual with the vehicle. “I keep him clean and shiny. I wipe him down every day,” Victory said. “Every night before I go to bed, I hug and kiss him. He’s my buddy.”

term sustainability of the industry.” He also said it’s a different kind of worry than it has been in the past. “Because the players around the table are not the same,” Kredell said. He went on to say that the players were the same in the 1920s as they were in the 2000s. “What’s different today is that it’s not only Paramount and Warner’s (Warner Bros.) and Universal, but it’s also Apple and Amazon and Netflix,” Kredell said. “They

The recruiting platform is available for athletes in any sport, with fencing, volleyball, soccer, softball, bowling and others included. State Champs!
