Dakota cross-country finds confidence in redemption season

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

MACOMB TOWNSHIP — It’s been all about redemption for Macomb Dakota boys and girls cross-country this season.

For the girls, they were eager to reestablish themselves in the Macomb Area Conference Red and improve on their 16thplace finish at the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 1 state finals.

CMPL Main Library turns 20 CLINTON TOWNSHIP — In the words of Clinton-Macomb Public Library Director Larry Neal, where did the time go?

The multi-township library’s main building at Romeo Plank and Canal roads turns 20 years old this October.

“Overall, it’s definitely a reason to celebrate,” said Neal, who came to the CMPL system as the main library was being designed. “We are now, with 20 years under our belt for the main building, seeing generations of

families come to the library, so that’s one of our great joys for many of the staff members who have also been here for most if not all of that time.”

Beginning in 1992 as a partnership between Clinton Township and Chippewa Valley Schools, today’s CMPL formed when Macomb Township replaced Chippewa Valley as a partner in 1997. Throughout its first decade, the library was based in a shopping center at Garfield and 19 Mile roads.

Everything changed for the CMPL in 1998 when voters approved a proposal to create a permanent, purpose-built library and establish satellite branches in See CMPL on page 6A

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 for recent Macomb graduates and practicing associate degree See NURSING on page 4A

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.

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 See NURSING on page 6A

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.

well, there was still a chip left on the team’s shoulders from their fourth-place finish at regionals, which meant they missed the cut for qualifying for states.

“That was a pretty big driving force for our kids that they were not going to let things be up to chance,” Dakota boys coach Michael Timpa said. “I think that was probably the most motivating factor. Just

Macomb Township and southern Clinton Township. The Library Board began touring the country for libraries to base the new building on, picking up Rochester Hills library director Christine Hage (who previously led that library’s construction) to lead the CMPL’s new start.

One feature planners wanted for the new building was an automated material handling system.

“That is a conveyor belt system that allows people to return items … and have them go down a conveyor belt, get checked in and then rough-sorted depending on the area of the library that they belong to,” Neal said. “We had gone to a couple of libraries around the county, because there were none in Michigan (with the system) at the time, to have a look at the systems and see how they work.”

One member of the library board that was key to outfitting the new facility was Donald Green, whose connections with local figures through his Rotary Club membership brought numerous gifts to the library. Such gifts include the mural, globe, puppet theater, Pewabic tile fountain and the fireplace.

“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

seeing their seniors fall short as a team, I think that left a bad taste in their mouth and has been on their mind since.”

This season, neither side is leaving a shadow of doubt as regionals sit just three weeks away.

Boys

It’s about rewriting the regionals finish from last season, and you can guarantee that’s every runner’s goal on the Dakota boys side this year.

“Team states for sure,” senior Carter Opening day on Oct. 26, 2003, largely went off without a hitch, save for having to move $1 million of new materials with a lift due to a water leak in the elevator shaft. Crowds poured into the new library and kicked off two decades of reading and research in Clinton Township.

As times changed, so did the CMPL. Both satellite locations would eventually find permanent buildings, and the Main Library would evolve to match two decades of technological developments. A major casualty from the rise of the digital world is the library’s reference book collection, but the space once held by encyclopedias is now home to the library of things.

“We have all sorts of things from tools to slide converters (to) jewelry making starter kits so that this can be your starting point to try something out,” Neal said. “If you want to try a GoPro, you don’t have to buy it. Borrow it from the library, see if you like it.”

Next year, the Main Library will undergo its first major refresh. The changes will mostly be limited to quality-of-life updates such as replacing worn-out carpet, installing LED lights and implementing a geothermal heating system similar to the North Branch’s system, but one change will finally realize a design feature that was meant

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.

Fox said. “Last year, we barely missed it by seven points. That was a really hard thing for us to not hit last year, so we want to do it this year.”

Fox and company took a massive step forward this year when they captured first at the MAC Red Jamboree at Stony Creek Metropark on Sept. 12, winning the MAC Red dual meet championship this year.

Fox finished in third while senior Simon Davis (6th) and junior Colton Howell (8th) each tallied a top-10 finish.

It was as tight of a race as it could get with the top-three teams being separated

by eight points, but Dakota’s 51 points just edged Romeo’s 56.

Junior Lucas LaMilza, who’s shown vast improvements this season, finished 11th, and Timpa said he’s been one of the bright spots of the team this year.

“He’s really taken a big leap for us,” Timpa said. “We kind of started to see some of it last year in winter track and during outdoor track and field, but from last year’s cross year to this year, he’s probably the biggest leap.”

to be there from the start: a drive-up book return window.

“We had initially planned for an automated machine to deliver items on hold to make it convenient for people,” Neal said. “The company that developed the automated check-in systems had developed a prototype for us here that unfortunately did not end up having enough capacity, so they took their prototype back.”

The CMPL will have several events and activities on Thursday, Oct. 26, to celebrate the milestone.

“Anyone who visits the Main Library on the 26th will get a free cookie just for

stopping by,” said Jamie Morris, CMPL head of communications and strategy. “In addition to that, we’re hosting a scavenger hunt throughout the library. We’re going to have pictures of things that have happened at the Main Library over the last 20 years, and they’ll be scattered throughout the building so people can go on a scavenger hunt. If they find all 20 pictures and get them in the correct order, they’ll get their choice of CMPL swag.”

There will also be a birthday storytime and crafts at 11 a.m. for kids.

Cookies and prizes will be available while supplies last.

Approximately 70 tons of logs have been removed from the Clinton River in Macomb County under a project directed by the Macomb County Public Works Office.

MACOMB COUNTY — Approximately 70 tons of logs were removed from the Clinton River in six different locations by the Macomb County Public Works Office over the summer and early fall.

Funded with $100,000 from the Macomb County Board of Commissioners, removing the logs helps reduce erosion and prevent localized flooding. Since June, logs have been removed from locations in Clinton Township (George George Park, Budd Park, Canal Park and the Moravian Road bridge) and Mount Clemens (Shadyside Park and the Grand Trunk Railroad bridge).

Deputies from the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office Marine Division helped remove logs near the mouth of the Clinton River.

“Working to remove this debris will make a large impact on our people in the community — less flooding, more people being able to get out on the river and enjoy it,” said Macomb County Commissioner Antoinette Wallace in a statement from the public works office. “Stuff like this has to come out, so everyone and everything can enjoy the river, and we have to keep it from getting to Lake St. Clair. This is very important work.”

Following their win, Dakota posted an impressive showing at the Jackson Invitational at Ella Sharp Park in Jackson on Sept. 23, finishing fifth in a field of 29 teams.

Dakota finished behind Clarkston, White Lake Lakeland, Troy and Ann Arbor Pioneer, which are all currently ranked in the top 15 in Division 1, according to MHSAA. Fox said it was another confidence boost the squad needed before regionals.

“We’ve been kind of the underdogs in every meet and every race, and we’re just proving them all wrong,” Fox said.

Fox and Davis will look to end their senior seasons on a strong note with the Macomb County championship (Oct 14) and regionals (Oct 27) still to come.

Both four-year varsity cross-country runners, Timpa said Fox and Davis have been the veteran leaders the team needed them to be this season.

“Those guys have been with us since freshman year, and they’re really putting their stamp on the team and the culture they want to create,” Timpa said. “They’ve been motivating each other and making our job easy for sure.”

Girls

Qualifying for states was a great sign for the girls cross-country team, and they’ve built off that confidence this season.

It’s all started with seniors Jayden Harberts and Mariah Belmont, who have been a dominant duo this season for Dakota.

Leading Dakota to second in the MAC Red Jamboree at Stony Creek Metropark on

Sept. 12, Harberts and Belmont claimed the top-two spots in the race as Harberts was the MAC Red Jamboree champion.

Harberts, who finished seventh overall at the state finals last year, had yet to lose a single race all season until the Jackson Invitational where her second-place finish helped Dakota earn eighth.

Harberts said the top-10 finish at Jackson was a step in the right direction for the young Dakota squad.

“I think we underestimate ourselves sometimes because our team is really young and we got rid of some of our good girls last year, but we’re a lot better than we think we are and we’re still finding that confidence,” Harberts said.

Harberts and Belmont’s veteran leadership was much needed this season with the number of underclassmen on the girls side, but the young Dakota runners have been shining.

Sophomore Lidia Clancy finished 11th at the MAC Red Jamboree while sophomore Ryann Smitka took 20th and junior Julia Timpa took 21st. Freshman twins Aubrey and Kaitlyn Rizzo have been consistent contributors this year alongside freshman Jenna Billings.

There’s a lot of youth to this Dakota team, but they’re fighting every step of the way, and coach Thomas Zarzycki said the support of Harberts and Belmont played a vital role.

“We had one girl who had to come to practice late on Monday, so she was doing her practice on the track,” Zarzycki said.

“They both stuck around a half hour after their practice was done just to be there and cheer the girl through her workout.”

Dakota will look to qualify for states as a team for the third consecutive year and improve on their 2022 states finish.

e c a l P y p p Your Ha EVERY DAY!

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 hundredplus 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,” Kredell 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.

PACKARD PROVING GROUNDS TO HOST ARCHAEOLOGY EVENTS

BY KARA SZYMANSKI kszymanski@candgnews.com

The Packard Proving Grounds has several archaeology programs coming up later this month.

Items found at the historic site include a 1936 penny, near left and a fence attachment, far left.

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — International Archaeology Day falls annually on the third Saturday in October, and the Packard Proving Grounds will be hosting archaeology related events in honor of this day, though not on the day itself.

The archaeology activities will take place Oct. 14-16. They include “archaeology dig project training” from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Oct. 14; “What has the PPG archaeology team found?” from 1 to 2 p.m. Oct. 14; and “Meet the state archeologist, Sarah Surface-Evans” from noon to 1 p.m. Oct. 16. The Packard Proving Grounds’ annual open house, with free admission, will take place 1-5 p.m. Oct. 15. Those at the open house can also learn about what the archeologists have discovered.

The dig project training costs $15 for Packard Proving Grounds members and $20 for nonmembers. The program on what has been found is free to members and $5 for nonmembers. The program with the state archeologist also is free to members and $5 for nonmembers. Register for the programs at packardprovinggrounds.org/lets-dig.

Debbie Remer and Gary Shelburne are working on the archeological digging at the Packard Proving Grounds. Remer said the Packard Proving Grounds is a nationally registered historic site and is also registered as an See ARCHAEOLOGY on page 16A

“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 said.

“But also, I do understand the conversation about why it’s interesting to have and why people might not get the point because it is really hard to understand unless you (are), like, in it or you understand it.”

Kredell is worried about the strikes for a few different reasons. One of those worries has to do with “what this means for the long-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 weren’t even a part of this conversation really the last time that this happened.”

This creates further uncertainty about the outcome of the strikes.

“We don’t know, I think, what to expect because the business models of those companies are completely different than those of the mainline entertainment companies,” Kredell said.

‘Making the paranormal more normal’

BY ALYSSA OCHSS

aochss@candgnews.com

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 See PARANORMAL on page 15A

On assignment at Dragon’s Landing with Mystic Mitten Paranormal 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 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 Ochss 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?

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 See OCHSS on page 17A

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 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.

archaeological site with the state.

“For the class we are looking for more volunteers to dig, help record, and to research items found. For the lecture on Monday, that would be important for anyone in a historic property, historic district, part of a local government, or just for general information,” she said via email.

Shelburne said he feels good about the archeological celebration.

“I hope it brings a lot of awareness to the proving grounds. People in the area should know what went on. People attending will enjoy seeing what we have found so far. They

will also have a chance to join us,” he said.

Surface-Evans will speak on Michigan’s archaeological history, which includes 25,000 sites. Participants will learn about the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office and federal laws that protect the country’s archaeological sites. Surface-Evans also will discuss the State Historic Preservation Office’s archaeology program.

Shelburne said he would like to remind people that the dig site is on private property.

No one can come onto the property and metal detect and start digging. All artifacts belong to the Packard Proving Grounds.

The Packard Proving Grounds is located at 49965 Van Dyke in Shelby Township.

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 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 See OCHSS on page 22A

Finally, Full Body MRI Screenings Available Locally, Delivers Peace of Mind To Michigan Families A Glimpse Inside the State’s Premier Full Body MRI Screening Center

SOUTHFIELD- Full body MRI clinics have gained national attention lately, as TV personalities publicly share their personal full body scan experiences. One actress credits the scan for saving her life after doctors dismissed her unexplained pain for months. After various tests, including a CT scan, had “unremarkable” results, the pregnant actress became her own advocate, searched out a full body MRI clinic and discovered she had pancreatic cancer. Thanks to early detection the tumor was removed successfully.

As a general rule, when symptoms occur related to cancer, it usually has progressed to stage three or four. Even with annual physicals, there are limitations. Most screenings only cover about 29% of cancers with 71% occur-

ring outside of where doctors are able to screen. However, full body MRI scans can detect cancer in every organ from the top of the head through the genitals and can detect it very early.

For a long time, full body MRI scans were available only in select areas outside of Michigan, requiring expensive flights like in Vancouver or California.

However, this changed when a clinic opened in Southfield, making these scans available to Metro Detroit residents.

“Our advanced MRI screening can detect cancers very early when they are as small as a pencil eraser and are more easily treatable. If cancer goes undetected, however, it can grow into stage three or stage four with difficult treatments. We can also identify conditions

such as brain, abdominal, chest, and groin aneurysms,” stated the founder of the Southfield clinic called Bionicc Body Screening.

The primary focus of Bionicc Body Screening is to deliver peace of mind, offering a comprehensive and detailed imaging of the body’s internal structures. The ultimate hope is for excellent health. However, in the event that something is detected, the advanced screening aims to catch any potential issues at their earliest stages. This approach offers the best opportunity for successful treatment outcomes, should the need arise.

Robert B., age 50, opted for a full body scan from Bionicc Body Screening and a very small tumor was detected. He said, “It saved my

MRI machines use magnets and emit no radiation.

life. Their MRI found a kidney tumor that had been missed by a recent CT scan. I cannot recommend this service more.”

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 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 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

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.”

TRAFFIC JAM AT THE ‘JUNCTION’ BRINGS OUT CAR BUFFS

TM

& © 1957, 2023 DR. SEUSS ENTERPRISES, LP.

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 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.”

HANDLING BULLIES AT SCHOOL AS A PARENT

BY MARY GENSON

mgenson@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — When parents find out that their kid is being bullied, or that their kid is the bully, it can be a shock.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one in five high schoolers have reported being bullied at school.

There are signs victims may show that parents should look out for, as well as

strategies to help rebuild their self-confidence.

Jodee Blanco is a survivor-turned activist and the author of the New York Times bestseller “Please stop laughing at me: One woman’s inspirational story.” She recently spoke at Brother Rice High School, and while she was there, she observed the challenging yet nurturing culture that the school has achieved.

“It was one of the most powerful experiences at a school I’ve ever had,” she said.

Blanco shared that while bullying has not changed since she was in school, bullies now have new ways to carry out this behavior against their victims. With social media, kids no longer have to spread rumors in person. Now, they can do the damage hiding behind a screen.

“The weaponry to perpetrate bullying cuts a wider and deeper swath, but the impulse of what creates that kind of cruelty remains the same,” Blanco said.

Lisa Khoury is a school psychologist in the Grosse Pointe Public School System and is in private practice at Associated Psychologists in St. Clair Shores.

Khoury said that sometimes the first sign parents may notice in their child who is being bullied is social isolation. Changes in friends or social activity may be due to a child wanting to avoid the bullies, or it could

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

be because they were not invited.

Blanco said that it is important to understand that sometimes the more subtle kind of bullying can be the most hurtful.

“Bullying isn’t just the mean things we do. It’s all the kinds of things we never do,” Blanco said.

She explains that bullies can attack in more ways than physical.

“The moment a child starts asking themselves what’s wrong with me is the moment that potential long-term damage from bullying has taken root,” Blanco said.

“If you are a parent, you have to be aware that, if your child is lonely or feeling isolated or left out, the potential damage of that can be severe.”

Blanco said the first thing a parent should do to help their child is help them find a brand-new social outlet separate from school. She suggests looking into programs offered by park districts, museums, camps and libraries.

“While you want to work with the school institutionally on the bullying itself, the first thing you need is to perform triage on your lonely child and give them hope that

if they are not fitting in at school, there are still other places where they will fit in and can make friends,” Blanco said.

Khoury said a parent should sit down with their child and talk to them about what is happening. She suggested parents ask their child how they think they can solve this problem, helping them along the way.

“The concept behind that is to empower the students to take charge of the situation,” Khoury said.

Blanco added that working in partnership with the school is essential.

She said one of the most common mistakes people tend to make is focusing solely on punishing the bully.

forgive,” Blanco said.

Blanco said that parents should engage in compassionate forms of discipline if they find out their child is the bully. For example, a bully may benefit from doing random acts of kindness for a different person each day and recording how that person responded to that act and how that response made them feel.

Punishing the bully

When parents find out their child is a bully, Khoury said, they should treat it like a “teachable moment” and practice “restorative justice approaches.” For example, she suggests asking a child who is a bully to write an apology letter to the student they are bullying.

“The most effective way to diminish bullying in a school is to treat the bullies with compassion and engage in restorative practices when it comes to discipline and to help their target to become more socially confident and also to deepen their ability to

“If you have a kid who’s mean at school, your child is crying out for help,” Blanco said. “Do everything you can to find out what’s causing this hunger and what is causing this cry for help, and work backward from there.”

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 happened, 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.

Local Girl Scout chooses Charlotte’s Wings as Gold Award beneficiary ROCHESTER HILLS — When working on her Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award that a Girl Scout can attain, Rochester Hills Stoney Creek High School graduate Katelyn Kohn was looking for a project that would provide a real solution to an issue in her community.

Kohn observed that children who are frequently forced to spend time in the hospital don’t get the same normalcy as healthy kids. Even simple things like going to visit the library and find a book that captivates them might not be possible for them.

She explained she “wanted to give children a library experience while in the hospital, allowing them to choose a book safely off portable carts” and “wanted to provide normalcy for children during their stay.”

She worked with Charlotte’s Wings to create five portable libraries for the five floors of the in-patient unit of Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit. She worked on gaining sponsors of $500 for each of the five carts, and also raised $300 through fundraising endeavors such as water and snow cone sales.

Founded in March 2008, Charlotte’s Wings has been dedicated to helping children and families throughout Michigan cope with the challenges of serious illness and health crises by donating new books. Charlotte’s Wings has donated over 140,000 books to their partner hospitals and hospices throughout Michigan. With this donation, Charlotte’s Wings was able to create book carts with themes such as princesses and superheroes.

“We were so moved by Katelyn’s connection with our mission and with her project’s ambitions. Her Gold award provided a wonderful opportunity for Katelyn and Charlotte’s Wings to work together to make a real difference to children and their families spending time at Children’s Hospital in Detroit,” Jennifer Buck, the executive director of Charlotte’s Wings, said in a press release.

EASTPOINTE — According to a police report, officers were dispatched to a local business sometime on Sept. 23 in response to a fight and theft that had taken place there. The business is a salon located in the area of 10 Mile Road.

A 19-year-old woman reportedly had an eyelash appointment and had paid a $20 deposit. Once the technician realized the business did not have the requested eyelash color, the client allegedly asked for her deposit back. The technician reportedly told the client that the deposit was nonrefundable, reminding her that she had been advised of this when she signed up for the appointment.

That’s when the client allegedly left the establishment and returned a short time later with her 41-year-old mother, who demanded that her daughter’s deposit be returned. When the employees at the salon refused to comply, the mother reportedly went to the display rack and started to grab perfume and candle boxes that were for sale. She allegedly told the employees that she was getting her daughter’s money back.

The suspect also took an employee’s cell phone, which had been sitting on the salon counter. When the salon employees tried to stop both customers from leaving the store, a fight took place, during which a standup mirror was broken. Both suspects then fled the scene prior to officers arriving.

The suspects were identified, police said, and a detective was assigned to the case.

Catalytic converters stolen from SMART buses

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 8:10 a.m. on Sept. 18, a report was made about a larceny that occurred between Sept. 15 and Sept. 18 at the St. Clair Shores Civic Arena, located at 20000 Stephens St. Upon arrival, an officer made contact with the complainant, a 35-year-old man who stated the catalytic converters of two Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation buses parked in the lots over the weekend were stolen. The man stated the vehicles were last seen on Sept. 15 around 4 p.m. and it was discovered that the catalytic converters were stolen on Sept. 18 around 6:45 a.m.

The man was provided with a report number, and he stated he would contact SMART to inform them of the theft. He said the third SMART bus was diesel and nothing was stolen from it.

A 9-inch Diablo Sawzall blade was found on the ground between the two SMART buses. Pictures were taken of the buses and the blade. The blade was taken as evidence.

Man reports home break-in

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Officers were dispatched to the 14000 block of Silent Woods Drive, near 23 Mile

and Schoenherr roads, for a breaking and entering report at 4:31 p.m. Sept. 8. Upon arrival, officers spoke to the caller, who stated that he believed that his house had been broken into after finding his patio door had been taken off, and the lock on his sliding door had been punched out. A K-9 dog at the scene attempted to track a suspect but was unsuccessful.

The house appeared to have been rummaged through, according to officers, and some valuables were missing. The detective bureau was investigating.

Student caught with vape

STERLING HEIGHTS — A student at Stevenson High School, 39701 Dodge Park Road, reportedly smelled like marijuana Sept. 15. Police reportedly watched the student and suspected that a suspicious object was in his pants pocket. It reportedly turned out to be a Breeze Prime vape, though no cannabis was reportedly found. The student was cited for having a vape as a minor, police said.

Ex-employee goes on destructive tirade

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — A 20-year-old Detroit man is facing multiple possible charges after he reportedly went on a destructive rampage at a store where he used to work when he learned he was being fired.

According to a police report, at around 4:07 p.m. Sept. 17, the suspect was at his former place of employment — a store in the 18000 block of Mack Avenue — when he started yelling insults at a male former co-worker. The suspect is then said by his former co-workers to have grabbed a bottle of wine worth $18 from the sales floor and thrown it on the ground, causing it to shatter. The suspect is said to have verbally threatened and harassed a female cashier and swung a plastic shopping basket around, causing an estimated $20 worth of damage to two ornamental flower arrangements.

The report states that the suspect continued to lash out at a co-worker near the store entrance, and once the suspect and the co-worker were outside, the suspect is alleged to have taken a fighting stance and balled his fists and raised them as if he were about to hit the co-worker. The suspect is said to have spat in the face of his co-worker as this point.

The suspect was arrested walking nearby and is facing possible charges including assault and battery, malicious destruction of property and disorderly person. The suspect was also permanently banned from store property, or he would face trespassing charges.

Police said the suspect was “highly agitated.”

After he was put in an ambulance to be taken to the hospital for bleeding wounds on his hands, he reportedly demanded sexual acts from emergency medical personnel. Given the suspect’s state and demeanor, the paramedic on the ambulance said he would be seeking a mental health evaluation at the hospital for the suspect.
