Sterling woman becomes weight-loss queen BY ERIC CZARNIK eczarnik@candgnews.com

BY ERIC CZARNIK

It is good to be queen. And for Sterling Heights resident Mary Daniels, it is even better to be queen while being over 130 pounds lighter. Daniels, 64, has lost 138 pounds via the TOPS Club Inc. program. TOPS, which stands for Take Off Pounds Sensibly, is a nonprofit weight-loss organization that advocates lifestyle changes beyond mere dieting. Daniels’ success in losing so much weight meant that she became the 2022 TOPS Michigan Queen. She fondly recalled the experience, which took place this past May in Port Huron. “It meant a lot to me. They were really encouraging to me, and my daughter

Sterling Heights has acquired a new partner in its quest to be more environmentally responsible with its greenhouse gas emissions. During an Oct. 3 meeting, the Sterling Heights City Council unanimously approved via its consent agenda to become a member of ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability USA, and to have the organization do inventories of Sterling Heights’ community and municipal greenhouse gases. ICLEI is a network of many local governments, and its programming aims to reduce greenhouse gases and protect the environment. According to city officials, Michigan governments that belong to ICLEI include Ferndale, Royal Oak, Birmingham, Oakland County and Ann Arbor. During a presentation, Sterling Heights City Planner II Alexis Richards said ICLEI gives member municipalities access to software, such as the ClearPath emissions management tool, which handles greenhouse gas inventories, forecasting, tracking progress in emission reductions and more. ICLEI members can use the group’s software to do their own inventories, or they can pay ICLEI to use its expertise to do them

Velan Manivannan, a 2021 Stevenson High School graduate, is the recent recipient of a U.S. Army Health Professions Scholarship Program scholarship. Manivannan expects to attend the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Erie, Pennsylvania, in July 2024 upon his expected graduation with an undergrad degree in pre medicine from the University of Akron in May 2024. When Manivannan joins the medical school, he will reportedly be a second lieutenant, and he will go through officer training and also do his medical rotation there. His goal is to become a captain upon completing the program and then serve at least four years in Velan Manivannan an Army hospital. The U.S. Army Medical Recruiting Station in Akron, Ohio, reportedly sponsored Manivannan for the application and selection process.

Clerk confronts suspect over condom theft

A woman allegedly tried to conceal and steal a Trojan Magnum condom in her purse Oct. 6 at the 7-Eleven at 4191 15 Mile Road, police said. This allegedly prompted the store clerk to confront the suspect in the parking lot, and that reportedly led to the suspect’s purse strap breaking. Police reviewed surveillance footage and said the store didn’t want to press charges but wanted the stolen item back or paid for. The suspect reportedly purchased the condom, and her purse was returned.

Road rage incident blamed for vehicle dent

Police learned Oct. 6 that a road rage incident reportedly happened along northbound Schoenherr Road, south of Hall Road. According to the driver of a Toyota Highlander, a white Kia Soul cut him off, prompting a road rage incident. Then he reportedly heard something hit his vehicle from behind, so he drove into a parking lot. Police said they saw a dent on the Highlander’s rear left side. According to police, the complainant said he believes that the Soul’s driver tossed an object at the Highlander, though he reportedly didn’t actually see it happen.

Man’s self-touching blamed on rash

A man was accused of putting his hand down his pants and fondling himself while strolling around in Walmart at 44575 Mound Road Oct. 8. The caller reportedly worked in another store and said the man had allegedly exposed himself before. Police said they talked to the man, who reportedly said he had jock itch, and police told him to be considerate of other nearby people if he needs to scratch. Police added that store staff kept an eye on the man but “had no issues with him.”

UNIQUE “ONE OF A KIND”

Ironing board blamed for jammed door scare

After midnight Oct. 8, a resident along Schoenherr Road, south of 19 Mile Road, told police he suspected something suspicious after he tried to open his mother’s bedroom door but couldn’t get inside due to it reportedly being “forcefully pushed shut.” The mother was reportedly away, and nobody was supposed to be staying there. Police used a K-9 to investigate, and the dog reportedly detected a human odor by the bedroom door. But once police managed to make their way inside, all they reportedly found was an ironing board that had fallen off the door. Officers concluded that nothing suspicious had happened.

Ofrenda from page 3A

Rodriguez’s work, an altar called an ofrenda, is featured in this year’s edition of the Detroit Institute of Arts’ “Ofrendas: Celebrating el Día de Muertos” exhibition. The exhibit, which lasts until Nov. 5, is the fruit of a partnership among the DIA, the Mexican Consulate of Detroit, the Mexicantown Community Development Corp., and the Southwest Detroit Business Association. Julie McFarland, the DIA’s executive director of public affairs and community engagement, said in a statement that the “Ofrendas” exhibition shows how the museum works with local artists. The occasion also promotes awareness of Día de los Muertos, known as the Day of the Dead in English. The festival is a tradition common to Mexico, as well as some parts of the United States and Latin America, and it remembers and celebrates departed dear ones. “This exhibition builds a sense of community as visitors identify with the reasons and ways people honor the deceased while collectively taking part in the act of remembering,” McFarland explained.

According to the DIA, Día de los Muertos lasts from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 and is based on the premise that the dead spend time with the living during the season. Skeletons, marigolds and food like sweet bread and sugar skulls are common motifs. Ofrendas are another key part of Día de los Muertos. They are customized altars that reflect the lives and likes of the people they are dedicated to. According to the DIA, over a dozen ofrendas are on display at the exhibit. Rodriguez and Martin’s ofrenda, titled “Empty Chairs,” has an umbrella-like canopy that resembles the sky. A skull-shaped container opens up into two hemispheres: One hemisphere remembers Greg Martin, Rodriguez’s uncle and Mari Martin’s husband. The other hemisphere is dedicated to Rodriguez’s mother, Paula Cecilia Rodriguez, who passed away in 2017. The lower part of the ofrenda has 10 perches for pictures and mementos to honor other deceased family members, Rodriguez said. Rodriguez, 53, said the ofrenda took around two months to build, and he started when he heard on social media about the DIA’s call for entries. “I was aware of the exhibition at the

“I’m very keen on leading a viewer’s eye around,” he added. “I pride myself on being able to capture someone’s attention from across the room.” Rodriguez added that making the ofrenda was a form of therapy in a time of great pain. “This is all about love and remembering these people,” he said. The Detroit Institute of Arts, 5200 Woodward Ave. in Detroit, is holding its 11th annual “Ofrendas: Celebrating el Día de Muertos” exhibition until Nov. 5.

DIA because I’ve been going there for some time,” he said. “The reason that I decided to try and get in there is, last year, my family lost three family members.” Those three family members were Greg Martin; along with Jason Rodriguez, Ronald Rodriguez’s cousin; and Wanda Martin, Mary Martin’s mother-in-law. Rodriguez credited Martin as a “very craftsy person,” and he said his own artistic background came in handy when picking colors that work together. He added that he has artistic experience doing multimedia work in a broad range of materials, including polycarbonate sheeting, wood and papiermache.

Sterling gets fired up over new fire department strategic plan The plan has four main strategic initiatives: communications, staffing, resource deployment, and apparatuses and equipment. Among the goals for each category, communications included possibly creating

a public information officer job, as well as forging stronger ties between the Fire Department and City Hall. Staffing included making sure that dedicated crews exist for all See PLAN on page 17A

0042-2343

The Sterling Heights Fire Department is aiming high in its new multiyear strategic plan, which contains a vision to make it “the premier provider of emergency services in the country.” During the Oct. 16 Sterling Heights City Council meeting, Stuart McCutcheon, from Dynamix Consulting Group, spoke about the strategic plan for the department, which handles firefighting and emergency medical services. McCutcheon revealed stats related to coverage, service response times and more, and he added that the Fire Department “may have to start looking at additional units.” “Service demand is going up year over year,” McCutcheon said. “You know, I tell you that at five stations and 16,000 calls, your folks are busy; they’re really busy. “And, you know, there’s only two problems in the fire service: either you can’t get there from here, which means there’s no station around, or you don’t have enough units to service demand. And so that’s something

just to keep track of.” The strategic planning process also included a SWOT analysis that asked Fire Department staff and the community about the SHFD’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats — the last of which were labeled as “challenges.” Both staff and community members agreed that the Fire Department’s personnel is a strength, staffing numbers is a weakness, and increased staffing and increased call volume are challenges. City/community support was classified as a weakness, an opportunity and a challenge. Mary-Ellen Harper, also from Dynamix, clarified that the city/community support listing means that “they felt that there could be more involvement and support from the community for the Fire Department.” The strategic plan contains a vision of the department becoming “the premier provider of emergency services in the country” and resolves to exceed its diverse community’s expectations “through high quality progressive service, professionalism, and continuous improvement.”

and summarize the findings in a report. Richards said Sterling Heights is choosing the latter option. “The bulk of our request here tonight is to allow ICLEI to conduct a greenhouse gas emissions inventory of our city operations, a communitywide greenhouse gas emissions inventory, and lastly to write a narrative report outlining the findings of the two inventories,” Richards said. Richards said the emissions inventories will help the city understand where it’s at so it can progressively curb its emissions via future policies. “There’s a common saying that you cannot manage what you don’t measure, which is particularly true in the case of greenhouse gases,” she said. “As Sterling Heights continues its journey to become a more sustainable community, it is important to ensure the city staff have the resources and capacity necessary to undertake the work required.” According to city officials, the city previously allocated $25,000 in the 2023-24 budget toward taking stock of its city operations’ carbon footprint and greenhouse

gases. A city document said the city will pay $7,200 for a four-year ICLEI membership, and the inventories with the accompanying report will cost $11,750. Sterling Heights City Manager Mark Vanderpool said he expects the process to take place over the rest of the 2023-24 fiscal year. He added that the Sustainability Commission will also be involved, and he thanked Councilman Henry Yanez for initially bringing up the idea. “I think this is far more robust than what we initially talked about at the budget hearing, so I’m pleased about that,” Vanderpool said.

METRO DETROIT — As the holidays are approaching many places are looking for extra help, particularly from seniors. Places such as Meadow Brook and the Detroit Institute of Arts are in need of volunteers to fill a vast array of positions this holiday season and beyond. Meadow Brook estate, in Rochester Hills, has an active and robust volunteer program, according to Katie Higgins, Meadow Brook marketing and communications manager. The volunteer cohort at Meadow Brook consists of around 300 people who volunteer their time to help make things happen at the estate. According to Connor Newton, who oversees the volunteer program at Meadow Brook, volunteers at the estate range in age from high school students to senior citizens, with the majority of their volunteers being of senior stature. “The bulk of our cohort are senior citizens, and the opportunities are really quite ranging,” said Newton. “I have a series of volunteer opportunities from the gardens into the house that really engages with many different areas of interests and proficiencies.” Volunteer positions at Meadow Brook

include gardeners, who maintain the various gardens throughout the property. The Garden Club meets on Tuesdays during the garden season. Newton said every Tuesday, approximately 16 members of the club come out to maintain the gardens on the grounds. There are also naturalists who volunteer to fight the invasive plants in the woodlands, Newton said. There are also squires, a group that is made up predominantly of men. The squires help with various maintenance tasks throughout the property, such as untangling and hanging Christmas lights, and painting doors. Volunteers with an interest in curating are able to get involved by assisting Meadow Brook curators with special projects. Curatorial volunteers help with the staging of exhibits, and assist the curator with moving of sensitive artifacts and fragile furniture. Curatorial volunteers receive special training to be able to handle historical artifacts. The estate also has opportunities for volunteers to digitize imagery and many other projects that are overseen by the estate curators. “On the interpretive side, which I closely oversee, I have hosts and docents who are really tasked with sharing the story of Meadow Brook with the general public and with private touring guests,” said Newton. “So, volunteers who are interested in See VOLUNTEERS on page 15A

WUJEK-CALCATERRA & SONS: Round-the-Clock Compassion since 1913

With 15 licensed funeral directors, totaling 350 years of combined experience, Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons is uniquely qualified to bring peace and comfort to grieving families in their time of need. And these aren’t ordinary funeral directors. Each one was specifically sought out by the Wujek and Calcaterra families based on their individual talents and expertise. Licensed funeral director Dominick Astorino, managing director at Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons, is honored to be a part of this exceptional team. “My colleagues and I are career professionals,” stated Astorino. “Most of us have been with Wujek-Calcaterra for over 20 years. We are dedicated to our career in a long-standing way. “We also have an excellent collection of younger funeral directors. As the embalming professor at Wayne State University School of Mortuary Science, I have taught many of them. I see their potential from the first day I meet them and watch them develop.” These devoted individuals represent a variety of religious and cultural backgrounds. They have formed enduring relationships with local families and the community. They are familiar with the neighborhood churches and have worked alongside their pastors. This allows them to connect with all types of families, putting them at

ease at a most difficult and overwhelming time. Furthermore, their compassion isn’t strictly confined to business hours. Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons is one of the few funeral homes in the area where there is someone present 24/7. According to Astorino, “We have never taken a day off since opening our original location in Detroit back in 1913. Christmas, holidays, brownouts, the worst snow storms – there has always been someone here to pick up the phone. We treat our families the way we would like to be treated. They never have to talk to an answering machine, and they know their loved one is never left unattended.” In addition to the 15 funeral directors, there is a support staff of 35 capable and compassionate individuals to complete the team at Wujek-Cacaterra & Sons. “We can serve all of our families, giving them everything they need – much like a personalized concierge.” From preplanning to aftercare services, Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons is available seven days a week, 365 days a year. They offer two welcoming locations: 36900 Schoenherr Road in Sterling Heights, phone (586) 588-9117; and 54880 Van Dyke Avenue in Shelby Township, phone (586) 217-3316.

communicating. They’re generous in their approach with folks from all over the world all over the country, because Meadow Brook attracts those kind of visitors who are interested in building connections and rapport with strangers and friends alike. They find a great place here. Although I work here, I often tell people that, for me, in a lot of ways, Meadow Brook is somewhat of a third place — a place that’s not home, a place that’s not work, where you can come together with like-minded individuals and find fulfillment and satisfaction, and for many people — well, for hundreds of people — Meadow Brook serves as that kind of place.” However, with the holidays approaching, Newton said the greatest need at the estate is for volunteers to provide assistance with hosted and self-guided touring. This is also needed throughout the year for both self-guided touring and for private events, such as weddings and evening programs. “This is an opportunity where folks with a love of history and a knack for interpersonal communication can engage with external visitors here at Meadow Brook and

sort of bring our history alive,” said Newton. “And also protect our collections, right? Eyes are really important to ensure that our artifacts are being appropriately interacted with by visitors. Newton said the programs offered by Meadow Brook for volunteers are ever growing. In a calendar year, the estate has approximately 300 active volunteers. He said that if they could get another dozen or two volunteers in the next calendar year, that would be “fantastic.” “We are always eager for more hands,” said Newton. “Volunteers are essential to our mission. Not only do they contribute to the culture of this space, (and) with their knowledge and their passion bring Meadow Brook to life for the general public, they also represent a really important source of manpower and hours. So with their talent and with the time that they give us, it would be a big challenge to hire that many people to come in (to) help us with those kind of projects and with the kind of work they do, so they are really crucial to a nonprofit like us.” The DIA is currently seeking volunteers for positions such as ushers at the Detroit Film Theater, gallery information and gallery service voluntary positions, as well as in the museum shop committees.

the DIA are required to commit to 50 hours of service per year, which equates to four hours a month. Volunteers are also required to attend scheduled training, meetings and enrichments. The DIA offers flexible schedules, with two to four shifts available every day. Shifts are available in one- to four- hour increments. “Volunteers are welcome to volunteer as often as they like. We have volunteers who come in weekly, monthly, or just as their schedules allow,” said Phil Rivera, the director of volunteer services for the DIA. “There are no educational requirements to volunteer — simply an interest in art and service to the community.” DIA volunteers are required to become members of the DIA at any level and to pay annual committee dues ranging from $5$50, which go toward defraying the cost of committee activities. This includes off-site enrichments, guest speakers, supplies, etc. Volunteering is open to people age 18 or older. Currently, just over 500 people volunteer at the DIA. Of those, approximately 85% are age 55 or older, and 65% are over age 65. On an average day, 15-25 volunteers are needed to facilitate operations, depending on what is going on at the museum. “While we do not exclusively recruit se-

nior volunteers, we have found that seniors tend to volunteer more actively at the DIA due to greater availability and flexibility. Volunteering at the DIA provides opportunities for our volunteers to learn and grow their love of art, develop lasting friendships, and find fulfillment in our mission to help visitors find personal meaning in art, individually and with each other,” said Rivera. DIA volunteers primarily work onsite at the DIA. The only exception is for “Behind-the-Seen” art talks conducted at libraries, community centers, senior residences, etc., and occasionally, community engagement at art fairs and similar events. Meadow Brook and the DIA are accepting applicants for those who wish to volunteer at their facilities this holiday season through Oct. 31. Applications received after that date will be reviewed in late January or early February. For more information about volunteering at Meadow Brook call (248) 364-6210 or email MBGCmembers@gmail.com. For more information about volunteering at the DIA, contact their Volunteer Services Department at diavol@dia.org or (313) 8331382.

was with me, and she took pictures,” Daniels said. “I got flowers, roses that were artificial, but they were really pretty. It looked like a real bouquet of flowers. I got a sash; I still have it.” But before Daniels earned the crown, she had to gather the conviction and tools to lose weight. She said she started the TOPS program at around 280 pounds. “I have an illness and have been on medication that caused me to gain a bunch of weight,” she explained. “I got so big that I just couldn’t take it anymore.” At one point, Daniels had considered undergoing bariatric surgery. But upon her doctor’s advice, she decided instead to try the TOPS program, starting in 2010, she said. Daniels discussed how TOPS helped her. “They’re very encouraging,” she said. “I made a lot of friends right away.” Daniels said she lost around 50 pounds via the TOPS program at first, though depression caused her to gain back over 70 pounds at one point, bringing her to her highest weight at 304 pounds. She said she considered surgery once more, but ended up deciding to instead stick with her TOPS program. She said she then started hitting her goals. She first reached 170 pounds, and then after the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020, she hit a key milestone of 160. She continued to hit her next goal of 145, and now she is aiming for 135,

she said. Daniels discussed the role food played in her transformation. She said that while she used to eat “a lot of junk food,” she learned to like salads and fresh vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and carrots, as well as fish and chicken. “Now I’m getting off the frozen meals,” she said. “I feel less depressed right now.” Exercise also plays a role, and Daniels said she regularly walks around the court on her street. She said she started out taking one lap around and then gradually increased the duration. “It got up to seven times around my court,” she said. Daniels recommended that anyone else who wants to lose weight join a TOPS group. “They always take a picture of the new people when they started, and then they take pictures when they get to their goal,” she said. “And that really helps. That’s how I got a handle on my weight and started losing. I carried around excess weight for so long.” Rick Danforth, the president of the TOPS Club Inc., commented on Daniels’ feat. “With her success and other members’ across the United States and Canada, they act like our own walking billboard,” Danforth said. “They show folks that we are very successful in helping our members lose weight and get a healthier lifestyle.” Learn more about TOPS Club Inc. by visiting tops.org.

front-line apparatuses for every shift, as well as improving the recruitment program. Resource deployment included observing data, coming up with performance objectives and making sure that the right resources are allocated for service runs. Lastly, the apparatus and equipment plank stressed the need for safe, functional vehicles, highquality fire stations and updated gear. When the council commented on the plan, multiple council members recalled a presented map in which the northeastern quadrant of the city — where Lakeside Mall is — showed a high demand for services. They discussed options to better accommodate that area, especially once the Lakeside Mall area is eventually redeveloped into a mixed-use district full of new residents. Councilwoman Deanna Koski pondered the possibility of a sixth fire station, though some other members said that staffing could be adjusted instead. Sterling Heights City Manager Mark Vanderpool said some of the plan’s action items can be achieved over a period of months, while others will take years to implement.

Sterling Heights High School counselors, left to right, Debbie Duffey, Holly Reese, Roselie Ruebelman and Areej Meengs work with students on a variety of issues, including mental health needs.

WCS PROVIDES MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS WITH ‘CARE’ BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

WARREN/STERLING HEIGHTS — Educators in Warren Consolidated Schools see it every day. They observe students dealing with anxiety, depression and trauma, which can lead to destructive behaviors that impact their mental health, academics and life skills. In an effort to further provide mental health services, the district recently partnered with Care Solace. The social purpose organization works with businesses, other groups and school districts to help people find access to mental health care. Determined to break the stigma surrounding mental health, Care Solace offers educational prevention resources, provides support and builds resilience for long-term stability and health. Warren Consolidated Schools and Care Solace have entered into a three-year contract to ensure accessible mental health care to the district’s students, staff and families. While the district will pay a fee for the service, there is no cost to the district’s families. The four counselors at Sterling Heights High School — Areej Meengs, Debbie Duffey, Holly Reese and Roselie Ruebelman — have already started using the resource. “The mental health crisis in the United States is real,” Reese said. “I think this is a great program. It’s awesome to have a service that can set up resources. It allows us to help more students. It was definitely a resource we needed for a long time.” The district will utilize Care Solace’s

“Warm Handoff ” referral process to connect students with mental health professionals. With special software, the program works when a school counselor inputs a student’s information into the computer system. From there, Care Solace navigates the mental health care network to connect students and staff with referrals and appropriate levels of care. “I’m super excited about it. They have so many connections in the community. It gives them information for the student and parent in a timely manner,” Reese said. “Within the same day, they start providing the resources.” Care Solace does not provide therapy services but provides resources. Those seeking mental health services can choose virtual appointments or face-to-face sessions. Students can make certain requests, such as if they prefer a male or female counselor. Students can either attend therapy sessions once a week or once a month, depending on the need. “We are providing them with services they need,” Meengs said. “I am ecstatic we have this.” Meengs said students seek out counseling for many different reasons. Sometimes they are dealing with anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorders while others are battling low self-esteem issues, perfectionism or depression. In some cases, there are family problems at home. There are also students who need help facing trauma after being physically, sexually or emotionally abused.

Trick or treat:

‘THE ANGRY PUMPKIN’ IS A SPOOKY RIDE BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — With his 1972 Pontiac Ventura, David Balkevitch celebrates Halloween all year long. Whether he’s displaying the vintage model at the weekly Sandbaggers Bar & Grill car show in Center Line or speeding down the Lapeer International Dragway, the spooky holiday follows him. Balkevitch and his wife, Annette, purchased the sunset-orange car when they married in 2012. “The guy I got the car from called it ‘The Pumpkin’ because it’s orange,” Balkevitch said. Balkevitch renamed it “The Angry Pumpkin” because of his early days with the car. “I bought used parts for it,” the Center Line resident said. “They didn’t work with the car, so I called it ‘The Angry Pumpkin.’” The moniker stuck, and a boo-tiful Halloweenmobile was created. Not only is the car orange — Halloween’s signature color — but Balkevitch displays the car as if it’s Oct. 31 every day. Whenever he and Annette take the muscle car to a show or cruise, they add several creepy fixtures, including orange lights in the interior. Skeletons with jack-o’lantern faces in the front and back seats look like they are ready for a “Monster Mash” up. The ghoulish mannequin in the driver’s seat even wears a racing jacket.

Also surrounding the ’72 Pontiac are more jacko’-lantern skeletons, including one dressed as an angel with a halo and another in a devil outfit with horns. Another monster can be seen torquing lug nuts on a tire. When checking out the car, watch out for the giant spider before grabbing a piece of candy. The Balkevitches take the car to local car shows, including Leason’s Dairy Bar and Grille in Warren and Autorama at Detroit’s Huntington Place. It’s also been a hit at many trunk-or-treat events. “People honk and wave. There are more people that love Halloween than I thought. People know the car because it’s been on TV and in magazines. Anytime it’s on TV, I get phone calls and text messages,” Balkevitch said. “Kids don’t always like to go to car shows, but they’re drawn to (the Ventura). They love it. They ask about the year and if it’s a race car.” And the classic car owner always lets parents and kids sit inside the car and take photos. “It’s just a fun car. I’ve always been doing it for the kids. A lot of kids love the smallest little details,” Balkevitch said. “The smiles on their faces mean more than anything. It makes you feel like you’re doing the right thing. Hopefully they’ll keep the classic cars alive.” Balkevitch also shows up at charity events with the car in an effort to help different organizations. He likes to share the car with others because of his own experiences with his children when they were young. See ANGRY PUMPKIN on page 21A

“My kids both had head surgeries,” he said. “The Ronald Ronald McDonald House (Charities) helped me out a lot.” The vintage vehicle features a hydraulic roller cam, Mad Dog Headers and a fourwheel disc brake conversion. It’s received recognition at different car events. One year, the Ventura was deemed the fastest street car at the Pontiac Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio, giving Balkevitch “bragging rights.” The Ventura was victorious as the 2019 All Out Live Lapeer Dragway Street Car Class winner. One of the best track times was driving 129 mph in the quarter mile at 10.18 seconds.

Balkevitch is also grateful to two people who have helped him. “Thank you to David Pemberton. I got the car and motor from him,” Balkevitch said. “Keith Domijan, he helped me troubleshoot it.” Domijan has since died. Balkevitch continuously works on the car to keep it in tip-top shape. He knows cars pretty well. “My dad was a mechanic. I always helped him work on cars,” said Balkevitch, who inspects the Ventura every week. “You never know what could go loose or break.” He takes the Ventura out every week. “It’s a good stress reliever,” Balkevitch said. “If you have a bad day at work, you can get in your car and go for a ride.”

Dr. Tina Marshall and Dr. Marisa Oleski, the owners of these two revolutionary dental offices, have made it their priority to offer their patients an all-around great encounter at the dentist’s

office. Dr. Tina, having three daughters of her own, was more than aware of the challenges a parent faces when trying to get her kids to take care of their teeth. Like many other parents, the typical resistance from her daughters in going to the dentist was an obstacle she had to overcome each time they were due for a cleaning or a checkup. Understanding this common dilemma most parents face, as she herself remembered her own resistance as a young girl to going to the dentist, she set out to find a way to make it easier for not only parents, but also the kids. The first step was to get a fresh, outside point of view. Tina recruited a medical consultant who had a reputation for turning medical offices into fun and family-friendly environments without sacrificing a great level of care. Upon bringing in this new perspective, the present-day Tina

Marshall, D.D.S., was born. The new philosophy was simple: Treat patients like people, not just like patients! The office was given a fun and exciting facelift with rooms decorated in Marvel and sports themes, among others; complimentary snacks and beverages were made available to everyone; and great toys and prizes were given away each visit to kids (and some young-at-heart adults). The doctors also fully invested in state-of-the-art technology to give the greatest level of care, and prices were lowered to make dental care truly affordable! These are just a few of the things that make Tina Marshall, D.D.S., the great dental offices that they are, and people should come and experience the offices for themselves!

Tina Marshall, D.D.S., is open 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays at two locations: 2951 S. Baldwin Road in Lake Orion and 40340 Hayes Road in Clinton Township. Call the Lake Orion location at (248) 391-1200 and call the Clinton Township location at (586) 630-0252. Find more information at drtinadds.com. 0122-2343

ing factor to the mental health crisis is the COVID-19 pandemic, which left many people feeling isolated. Social media also can leave a negative effect on young people. Talking to a trained professional can help a student in many ways. “Therapy provides coping skills and builds their self-confidence. It helps (people) heal from the past and figures out ways to resolve some of their trauma,” Meengs said. “It gives them a set of tools when faced with challenges.” “When they start therapy, their academics will improve,” Reese said. “They’ll be able to focus because they’re not carrying their burdens alone. I would love to see them happier, well-adjusted and working through their issues. That’s a good indicator they are on the right track.” District staff members also can use the service for themselves or their own families. “Some have issues with their own children,” Meengs said. Through the Warm Handoff process, Care Solace will determine which health insurances are accepted by each mental health facility.

Gasoline Alley took place Aug. 12, and Utica recently presented the Fowler family with checks totaling over $30,000 from the show’s fundraising efforts.

ATTORNEY GENERAL WARNS AGAINST SMISHING SCAM

METRO DETROIT — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is warning residents about fraudulent smishing text messages with an alleged delivery notification and tracking link, purporting to be from the U.S. Postal Service. Smishing is when the scammer entices the victim by claiming a victim must provide them with a password, account number, or even Social Security number to stop an alleged fraudulent transaction. Once this information is provided, the scammer can gain access to the device and any personal information stored on it, including email, bank, credit card, or other types of accounts including social media. Her office shared some advice to not be victimized in this way including to never share a phone number unless the person or organization is personally known; never assume a text is legitimate because it comes from a familiar phone number or area code, since spammers can use caller ID spoofing to make it appear the text is from a trusted or local source; never click on links in a suspicious text; and to never provide personal or financial information in response to the unsolicited text or a website linked to the message. To file a complaint with the Department of Attorney General, call (517) 335-7599.

Police search for missing person

EASTPOINTE — The Eastpointe Police Department was asking for the public’s help in locating Matthew Krent. He hadn’t been seen since Sept. 26, when he was dropped off at Eastland Motel on Gratiot Avenue, north of Eight Mile Road. Krent does not have a phone and has not been heard from since he disappeared, police said.

Stolen car recovered

EASTPOINTE — According to a police report, officers observed a Hyundai Accent at a gas station on Nine Mile Road at Kelly Road Sept. 27, and checked the plate since that type of car is commonly stolen. Police confirmed the car was stolen. The vehicle was parked at the gas pumps and appeared to be abandoned. The clerk at the gas station told police that the driver had entered the store asking for free gasoline, and then left the car once he was denied. Upon watching security footage, officers obtained a description of the suspect that led them to a 25-year-old man, who was found in the area and taken into custody without incident. Police were continuing to investigate.

Break-in at T-Mobile

EASTPOINTE — According to a police report, two unknown suspects broke into the T-Mobile store in the area of Eight Mile Road and Gratiot Avenue at around 10:20 p.m. Sept. 27, gaining entry by throwing a hammer through the glass door and then stealing numerous phone cases and headphones before fleeing a short time later. No vehicle was seen on security footage.

Caller reports attempted break-in

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 2:36 a.m. Sept. 23, Shelby Township police officers were dispatched to the 5000 block of Celestial Court, near 25 Mile and Mound roads, on a possible attempted breaking and entering that had occurred. The caller stated that a male subject had attempted to open or unlock the front door of the residence. The suspect then ran off to a nearby car after the homeowner woke up and turned on the lights. Police searched the area and were unable to locate the suspect or the vehicle. The Shelby Township Police Department’s detective bureau was investigating.

Woman receives threat

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 4:56 p.m. Sept. 24, a woman came into the Police Department to file a fraud report. The woman stated that she was using a job locator app on her phone, and the person

she was communicating with on the app tried to convince her to give her credit card information. When the woman refused to give the requested credit card information, the subject stated that she would “blackmail” her to get her personal credit card information. The detective bureau was investigating.

Stolen boat reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 2:14 p.m. on Sept. 27, a report was made about a theft of property that occurred between the dates of Aug. 28 and Sept. 11 in the 24000 block of Jefferson Avenue. At the listed time and date, the victim, a 28-year-old man, came into the station and stated his boat was stolen from a marina. He stated his boat was parked in a slip and taken between Aug. 28 and Sept. 11 when he was away on business. The victim has all sets of keys and does not owe any money. He reportedly has insurance.

Motorbikes ride in Delia Park lot

STERLING HEIGHTS — Police heard a complaint during the night of Sept. 22 that several motorcycles were riding around and causing a disturbance in the parking lot of Delia Park, 3801 18 Mile Road. When police got to the scene, they said, the last of the bikes was departing.
