Regional Stormwater Summit touts rebates for residents SUMMIT ADDRESSES FLOODING, WATER QUALITY, GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE BY KATHRYN PENTIUK kpentiuk@candgnews.com

OAKLAND COUNTY — On Oct. 20, more than 200 people gathered for the 10th annual Regional Stormwater Summit to hear from experts and learn about a rebate program designed to encourage residents to reduce stormwater runoff on their own property. The event was hosted by Lawrence Technological University, the office of Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner Jim Nash and Pure Oakland Water at LTU. While a final grade will not be determined until the spring of 2024, Conor Keitzer, from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, shared an update on the report card for the Clinton, Detroit, Huron, Raisin and Rouge rivers. The progress report serves as a broad-level assessment

SOUTHFIELD — Ira Paul has been an avid listener of local police radio channels since 1969. “I hate to tell you what year it was,” Paul joked. “Today, you can program the radio or scanner. You just have to punch in the radio frequencies

on a keyboard, which is on the radio. Back then, you had to buy what is called a crystal and plug it into the back of the radio and then tune it to the police frequency. And those crystals were like $5 or $6 apiece. And we’re talking the early ‘70s. For that, today would be the equivalent of like $15 or $20. But that’s what you had to do back then. You had to buy a crystal for each police department that you wanted to listen to. If your police scanner picked

up eight channels, which was the norm back then, you’d have to buy eight crystals.” Though technology has made it easier to tune into police channels through apps on a smartphone, Paul prefers actual scanners. He has three: a Uniden BCD436HP, a Uniden SDS100 and a Uniden SDS200. “One plugs into the wall. I have one that I listen to See SCANNERS on page 11A

OAKLAND COUNTY — Up to $200 million in medical debt for Oakland County residents will be erased through a new partnership with a nonprofit organization. Oakland County and nonprofit RIP Medical Debt will be using $2 million from the county’s American Rescue Plan Act funding to purchase up to $200 million in medical debt for qualified residents of the county, which possibly could be up to 80,000 people.

looking at ways to increase access to care and to relieve debt for residents. Coulter stated that when the county uses its American Rescue Plan Act dollars, he wants it to be transformational. Using $2 million to clear debt on its own could be a drop in the bucket, but using that funding to erase $200 million, he said, is transformational. “It’s not just the fact that they’re carrying this debt, but this debt impacts other aspects of their lives,” Coulter said. “It ruins your credit score to carry this around. It affects your mental health,

According to its website, RIP Medical Debt uses data analytics to “pinpoint the debt of those most in need: households that earn less than 4x the federal poverty level” or whose debts are 5% or more of annual income. The organization buys “debt in bundles, millions of dollars at a time at a fraction of the original cost. This means your donation relieves about 100x its value in medical debt.” Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter said at a press conference at Gilda’s Club Metro Detroit in Royal Oak Oct. 19 that the county’s health and human services personnel have been

to engage the community and create accountability. The final report card will be graded using 33 indicators based on six categories: water quality, infrastructure, human health, recreation, the economy and ecosystem condition. During the progress update, Keitzer shared data on sewer overflows and flooding spanning from 2019 to 2021, noting whether a location had a combined sewer overflow event, or CSO, which is discharged from systems that carry both stormwater and sewage, and if the location did not have any CSOs. “We know this is not a realistic goal in the short term, but it is in the long term. It’s something we want to work towards. So, we want to assess where we are now and make sure we’re progressing towards that goal of having no CSO untreated waste events,” Keitzer stated. “So the Clinton, during this time frame, did not have an untreated event occur. Detroit, we see quite a few, and the Rouge has huge CSO issue with lots and lots.” Keitzer added that sanitary sewer overflows, or SSOs, were recorded in a similar way. Using the average number of floods in the watersheds from 2017 to 2021, Keitzer shared that the Clinton River and the Rouge River had a 3.2 average number of floods, the Huron River had 1, the Detroit River had 0.8 and the River Raisin had 0.6. “If we really want to make a meaningful impact, we have to get the residents involved,” Lynne Seymour, chief engineer for the Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner, said about the George W. Kuhn District. Teaming up with Stephanie Petriello, an environmental planner for Oakland County Water Resources Commission, the two spent the past 10 months working with the Center for Watershed Protection and the Clinton River Watershed Council to launch RainSmart Rebates. RainSmart Rebates is a program designed to promote “environmental stewardship and help homeowners manage stormwater.” Residential homeowners in the George W.

Birmingham, Oak Park, Royal Oak and Southfield are pilot partners for the RainSmart Rebate program. Despite the fact that only Southfield residents within the George W. Kuhn Drainage District will be eligible, Southfield Stormwater Manager Brandy Siedlaczek is still eager to see more residents implement these green infrastructures. “The county decided to do this program, so we could do it at a residential, local level, and try to get more people involved in being part of the solution to water quality and the flooding issues we’ve had.” Siedlaczek explained that Southfield has a number of green infrastructure projects throughout the city on a municipal level, such as the bioswales at Beech Woods, Carpenter Lake and Inglenook parks, the bio-retention pond at Evergreen Road, and a tiered structure meant to retain stormwater at Valley Woods Trailhead. She explained that Southfield residents can anticipate more green infrastructure projects in Southfield, with more bioswales and rain gardens expected by the spring of next year.

And I bring it to places with me because it picks up so well.” Even though Paul no longer has to plug crystals into his radios, another obstacle has arisen in recent years: encryption. Paul was always fascinated with law enforcement, which led him to pick up his first scanner in middle school. As an Oak Park resident, Paul tuned in to Oak Park, Royal Oak, Berkley, Huntington Woods, Ferndale and Southfield’s channels. However, with the rise of encrypted police channels, Southfield has become the latest channel in Oakland County’s radio system — Oakland County Simulcast, a subsystem of the Michigan Public Safety Communications System — to move to a new P25 standard radio system. Most of Michigan’s police and fire channels are on MPSCS. The State Police, Detroit and Macomb County are on the system, but remain unencrypted. “P25 radios are a direct replacement for analog UHF, typically FM radios, but add the ability to transfer data as well as voice, allowing for more natural implementations of encryption and text messaging,” Southfield Deputy Chief Aaron Huguley said. “P25-compliant systems allow for a high degree of equipment interoperability and compatibility. The encryption of the system is necessary due to the large amounts of sensitive information that is broadcast to first responders.” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard echoed Huguley’s concern surrounding the sensitive information shared over

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 60 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 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 likeminded 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 in-

a e t a r b e l e C e Com

terpersonal 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 approx-

imately 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 See VOLUNTEERS on page 20A

the scanners. Bouchard explained that when studying major crimes across the world, one of the things that stood out to him was that criminals monitor police communications. “Obviously, that’s unacceptable for us,” he said. “If we’re talking tactics, let’s say it’s a barricaded gunman situation with the hostage. We certainly don’t want them to be able to listen in on what our plans are.” Bouchard explained that the channel shift has been in the works for the past three years, and about half of Oakland County’s substations are on the new system and half are on the old. “We’re in the rollout phase now. The intention is to get everyone over to the new, because, with our old communication systems, we were literally buying repair parts off of eBay, so this is long overdue. That’s in terms of capability and communication.” For hobbyists like Paul, this change is disappointing. “I’m very frustrated with it. I feel that the public has a right to listen. If you’re fearful of the police officers’ safety because a criminal could listen, then they should delay the radio traffic by 20-25 minutes. That way,

when the public gets the information, the police would’ve already been at the scene of the crime 25 minutes by the time the public hears it.” Paul obtained an associate degree in law enforcement from Oakland Community College and almost pursued a career as a police officer, but instead took a job at General Motors, but his interest in criminal justice never dwindled. On nice days, Paul can be found on his porch listening to the scanner. Each day, it differs, but he explained that he’ll sometimes listen for a half hour in the morning and then again in the late afternoon or evening, sometimes up to two hours. He said it gives him peace of mind to tune into the police channels. “I wanna know what’s going on around me. If they’re looking for somebody, I get excited when I hear that he’s in custody.” Paul is not alone in his hobby. RadioReference.com has forums all over the United States for listeners. There’s a Michigan forum with subsections for communities like Oakland County and Detroit listeners to chat about what they heard on the scanner. There is also a Facebook page called Oakland County Scanner Chat, where Oakland County residents can spread awareness about criminal activity in lieu of police scanners.

Debt from page 3A

frankly. It holds you back to having your most successful opportunities in life. So it’s not just erasing, you know, medical debt for folks, maybe up to 80,000 … Oakland County residents, but I think it’s putting them on a path to a quality of life that they have been held back (from) by this debt. And so we’re really excited to be doing this. I think it’s an important and transformational investment that we’re making.” Coulter said after the American Rescue Plan Act money is gone, the project will be over, though because this is a nonprofit, there could be ways to keep it going through fundraising opportunities. The county said this is not a program that residents need to apply for; eligible residents will be notified by RIP Medical Debt if their debt has been eliminated. According to Deputy Oakland County Executive Madiha Tariq, who oversees the Oakland County Department of Health and Human Services, RIP Medical Debt will analyze which people are most in need, and then a patient’s hospital and the nonprofit will work to determine whether RIP Medical

Debt will acquire those debts. “The people who are impacted, who carry medical debt in this country, are working families,” she said. “Over 50% of people in this country either currently carry medical debt or carried it in the last five or so years. So this issue of medical debt impacts your neighbor, your friend, your teacher, your kids’ schoolteacher, and to be part of it is for us is just an honor and a pleasure. No one should ever have to choose between life and the financial ruin of their family. By eliminating medical debt, we give people the reset they need.” Tariq stated that people who qualify most likely will start seeing letters next year about their debt being erased. “Medical debt is a social determinant of health,” she said. “Families delay care when they have debt, because they fear going to a health care setting … and it widens the health disparity gaps that exist in our communities because — guess what? — medical debt disproportionately impacts communities of color, rural communities, medically underserved communities. So this is also a health equity success for us, especially for those of us who are in public health.” Oakland County Commissioner Charlie Cavell, a Democrat who serves the cities of Berkley, Ferndale, Huntington Woods,

Pleasant Ridge and portions of Birmingham and Royal Oak, helped push for this program as he knows the burden of carrying medical debt. Cavell recalled how he contracted giardia after a mission trip to Haiti years ago and ended up in a Florida emergency room. Cavell didn’t have health insurance, and that one night cost more than $6,000. The debt followed him for years as his credit score took a hit, he said, which led to him living in month-to-month apartments that didn’t check his credit, and he wasn’t able to buy his first car until he was 28 because of his credit. “There’s lots of ripple effects of medical debt,” he said. “The vast majority of RIP’s work is paying $25 to pay off a $2,500 medical debt, which was incurred because someone had a deductible they cannot afford. And today we’re fixing that.” Kyra Taylor, of Detroit, has seen firsthand her medical debt wiped clean by the nonprofit. Taylor, 34, has undergone multiple transplants, receiving two kidneys and a pancreas. She was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 10 and had her insurance cut off when she was 18. She recounted how she worked at a minimum wage job, but it didn’t offer insurance. Taylor also tried applying for

assistance with the state government, but she was told she made too much money. According to Taylor, her insulin costs $100 a bottle, which lasts three weeks. But because she had to pay rent and her medical bills, she had to cut back on her medicine and use something she wasn’t supposed to be taking that cost less in order to survive. It didn’t matter, as Taylor put it, because she was drowning in debt. She told C & G Newspapers that she had accumulated “tens of thousands” of dollars in debt. “My medical debt, it was so high that when I would finish paying what I could pay, rent, the medical debt, so far, I would only be left with like $10. And you can’t do nothing with $10. You can’t buy food, we can’t pay rent, nothing like that,” she said. At one point, Taylor was in her last steps to file bankruptcy when she received a letter from RIP Medical Debt. She threw the letter away at first but checked it again to see that her medical debt was gone. The organization had purchased and erased $3,600 of her debt. “This has given me my life back,” she said of her debt being gone. “I can travel, I can go to work, I can pay my bills.” Call Staff Writer Mike Koury at (586) 498-1077.

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. Volunteers at 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 senior 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. Detailed information is also available on their respective websites. Call Staff Writer Charity Meier at (586) 498-1092.

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!

NOTES

NEWS AND NOTE ITEMS TAKEN FROM AROUND OUR COVERAGE AREAS Gasoline Alley car show helps local boy with cancer UTICA — When organizers put together this year’s version of the annual Gasoline Alley car show, they added an extra component with a pledge to provide support to local child Beckett Fowler, 3, as he fights cancer at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis Tennessee. 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. The money was raised by the Utica Lions Club and USA Tire during the show.

AEW wrestler Danhausen added to fall comic con roster NOVI — The Motor City Comic Con has announced that AEW wrestler Danhausen will be a celebrity guest at its fall show Nov. 10-12 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi. Other guests added to the lineup include “What We Do in the Shadows” actors Harvey Guillen and Natasia Demetriou, and Pokemon voice actor Veronica Taylor. Comic writer and artist Tony Daniel and comic artist Rose Besch also have been added to the guest list. Motor City Comic Con is also announcing iCon Tournaments. The tournaments will offer guests a gaming lounge area where they can “meet friends and challenge new rivals.” They will be available every day of the convention, and prizes will be given out to winners of every tournament, according to a press release. “It’s all about competitive action and friendly combat,” the release states.

ROCHESTER POSED WINNERS ANNOUNCED

ROCHESTER — Downtown Rochester held its 11th annual Rochester Posed event Oct. 5. During the event, 20 participating businesses turned their storefront windows into live mannequin displays. This year’s theme for Rochester Posed was Heroes vs. Villains. Event attendees were able to cast a vote for their favorite live mannequin displays through phone polling. There was also a selected panel of judges that scored each window for the Judge’s Choice winner. The top three windows with the most texts for the People’s Choice are, in first place, “Local Heroes”/At Home Furniture; second place, “Mario vs. Bowser”/The Spice & Tea Exchange; and third place, “Mean Girls”/Kimi K Salon & Spa. The top three windows with the most votes from the panel of judges are, in first place, “The Witches of Wizard of Oz”/South Street Skateshop; second place, “Ariel vs. Ursula”/Rochester Bike Shop; and third place, “Alice vs. The Queen of Hearts”/Haig’s of Rochester. For more information, call the DDA at (248) 656-0060.

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.
