Proposals pass in Clawson, County Commissioners reelected
BY TAYLOR CHRISTENSEN tchristensen@candgnews.com
ROYAL OAK/CLAWSON — Voting booths are now closed and unofficial results from the election Nov. 5 have been announced.
In Royal Oak and Clawson, voters were tasked with deciding federal, state, county and local elections, including Oakland County commissioners and two proposals in Clawson.
Clawson voters voted on a charter amendment concerning retail cannabis establishments and a $64.5 million bond proposal.
Machele Kukuk, Clawson city clerk, said that the election went smoothly for Clawson voters. There were fewer voters who turned up in person than expected.
“We were busy and steady all day,” she said Nov. 6. “We didn’t hit the 80% mark that we had in 2020; I think we were more like 77% or 78% — I haven’t quite finished all of my tallying on my reports, but that’s what I saw on the county site.”
Clawson voters were asked to vote on a proposed city charter amendment establishing “an application process, selection criteria, licenses, fees, and regulations for two adult-use retail cannabis establishments in the City,” according to the ballot language.
The charter amendment was passed in Clawson. Of the 7,093 votes, 3,824 (53.91%) approved the amendment and 3,269 (46.09%) voted no.

Royal Oak resident and artist Amy Ferguson will be attending the event for the fifth year in a row and said she is bringing a selection of ornaments created from her original pieces.
“Holiday things tend to do really well there (at the art fair). It’s a good place to buy gifts for any holiday,” she said. “I print very small sections of my work, and I sandwich the paper between two panes of glass,
Seniors in Clawson getting savvy with technology
BY TAYLOR CHRISTENSEN tchristensen@candgnews.com
CLAWSON — Through the Senior Planet licensing program, seniors in Clawson are going to have more access to technology and learn about how it can enhance their lives.
The Clawson Senior Center is partnering with the Older Adults Technology Services, an organization through the AARP, and is one of the 13 new licensed partners across 10 states.
“When we welcome new partners into the Senior Planet licensing program, we unlock valuable learning opportunities for older adults,” Kristina Demery, manager of the national licensing program at OATS, said in a prepared statement.“Each new partner not only expands our national reach but empowers seniors to confidently navigate the digital world, providing access to skills that open doors to endless possibilities.”
Through the Senior Planet licensing program, the Clawson Senior Center began receiving in-person “award-winning” technology classes, according to a press release.
Lisa Ball, Clawson’s assistant director of recreation and senior services — and a licensed social worker — will be teaching the in-person technology classes. Ball got certified to teach these classes through a five-week training session provided by the

Mural installation approved
ROYAL OAK — A mural installation was approved unanimously by the City Commission Oct. 28. The mural was placed on the side of Ohana Wealth Advisory located at 3315 N. Campbell Road.
Jeff Roosa, of DPI Graphics Inc., created the art for this building, but it is not a mural created with paint. Instead, a vinyl wrapping has been applied to the building.
On Oct. 21, the Commission for the Arts reviewed the application and design. The commission determined that the piece should not be considered a sign, according to the approved proposal document.
The 15-by-10 foot wrapping design is called “Hawaiian Dance” and depicts a Hawaiian sunset landscape with a silhouette of a hula dancer on the far right side. Close to the left side is a palm tree.

Fryer oil recycling available Nov. 30
ROYAL OAK — Royal Oak Sustainability, a division of the city’s administration, is offering a one-day fryer oil drop-off from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 30.
Because of the influx of cooking and fryer oil, and to prevent that oil from going into a landfill or down the drain, Royal Oak Sustainability is offering the recycling drop-off at the Royal Oak Farmers Market at 316 E. 11 Mile Road.
All types of “plant based” oils can be recycled safely, including vegetable, corn, peanut, olive and more. Items like bacon fat, grease and fried food remnants can be put into the composting bins but not in the oil dumpster.
Cooking oils need to be in liquid form and filtered to remove contaminants before being put into the drop-off.

SPOTLIGHT ON WOMEN IN BUSINESS
BUILDING UP WOMEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT
BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com
Careers in law enforcement take a great amount of dedication and sacrifice.
According to the National Policing Institute, the number of women police officers has greatly increased since 1974, when there were only about 1,000 women police officers working in the United States. Now, it is estimated that there are about 96,000 women police officers. While the number has gone up significantly, only about 12% of police officers are women.
Local women recently shared their experiences and advice with C & G Newspapers on pursuing a career as a police officer.
Teresa Young is the executive lieutenant to the chief of police at the Southfield Police Department. She started her career as a 911 dispatcher in West Bloomfield and began rising in the ranks once she joined the Southfield Police Department in 2009.
While Young was in each position, she maximized her impact by taking on different roles and responsibilities throughout the department. For example, after she became a sworn officer in December 2009, she took

It’s about preparing for the future.”
Renee noted, “To date, we’ve helped about 50 women buy or sell their homes on their
own. It’s exciting and empowering to see more women take control of their fnancial futures through homeownership, when 50 years ago a woman couldn’t even mortgage a home without a man.”

HOMES
When planning to move, streamline to save money and reduce strain
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
Packing up your belongings and shipping them to a new home can feel like a Herculean task, but the process needn’t be stressful.
Professionals in the moving industry say there are many ways to “move smarter, not harder,” reducing the strain not only on yourself and the movers, but your wallet, as well.
Shayna Dwojakowski is the sales manager of the Fraser location for Two Men and a Truck. True to its name, the family-owned business started in Lansing nearly 40 years ago with just two men and a pickup truck. The Fraser franchise has been open for 33 years. Today, the business uses semis and spans more than 380 locations worldwide.
With all that experience, the business has seen just about every kind of moving arrangement and devised many ways to streamline the process.
“Just take it in steps and call us as early as possible so we can help walk you through things — what the timeline looks like and when you should start packing,” Dwojakowski said.
She recommends that clients begin their “purging efforts” about one or two months prior to the day of the move, cleaning out
anything they don’t want to bring along to their new home.
She said an excellent rule of thumb for packing is, “The heavier the item, the smaller the box.” Dishes, books, small knickknacks and silverware should all be packed into small boxes. Items like clothes, pots and pans, Tupperware and shoes work well in medium boxes. The lightest and bulkiest items should go in large boxes — things like comforters, pillows and lamp shades.
“You want to make sure you pack all boxes to the top to avoid the boxes caving in when they are stacked,” Dwojakowski said. “Be sure to use plenty of packing paper or bubble wrap to secure the heavier and fragile items, which will help filling boxes to the top without adding any weight.”
The typical moving crew at Two Men and a Truck is — you guessed it — just two men, but they can call for backup as needed. One of the larger moves in the company’s history was about 12 men moving items at a courthouse. The employees are all background checked and drug tested, and the company provides insurance coverage for any damage, but also takes great care to avoid damage in the first place.
“If we accidentally scratch a wall or break anything, we’ll fix it up,” said Jackie Kelley, sales lead at Two Men and a Truck. “Our management is always just a call away
if they need an extra set of hands for anything. And every truck is properly equipped with different types of dollies, and stretch wrap for keeping things compact, secure, dry in the rain and safe if it brushes a wall. The blankets are laundered, too, so they’re all clean.”
Before a date and time is locked down and the crew arrives, Two Men and a Truck firms up details with the client, confirming the inventory of items. Moves on Mondays through Thursdays typically have the lowest rates, but it depends on how booked the
company is, with summer being the busiest season, and the busiest weeks being the start and end of each month when many apartment moves take place.
The cost of local moves — under 40 miles from pickup to drop-off — is calculated hourly, with separate flat fees for travel time. Thus, clients can reduce the cost of their move by cleaning out what they can ahead of time, and having most items already packed for the crew.

OATS senior planet licensing program.
Ball said that she is constantly listening to ideas from residents. She said that technology is a topic that older adults wanted to learn more about.
“I have older adults approach me, and they need help with their smart phones,” she said. “It’s like, if we can offer assistance, we do, but actually being able to offer classes with that curriculum and have that program ... it helps us give them general information about their devices and answer any questions they may have.”
Learning about how to use technology is a skill that will help older adults navigate today’s world, Ball said.
“It helps them access their services, like Social Security and Medicare, appointments that would help them,” she said. “There’s so many more doctors that are virtual now.”
Senior Planet is a no-cost program focused on providing in-person classes on different topics, such as smartphones at a glance, internet basics, how to choose a new computer and more.
Classes will be taking place at the Clawson Senior Center at 509 Fisher Court or the
Blair Memorial Library at 416 N. Main St.
Ball said that the senior center is working to eventually get its own computers to use for the classes, but for now hands-on learning classes will take place at the Blair Memorial Library.
Upcoming classes in December include AARP OATS Technology Talks, which will be held at 1 p.m. Dec. 16 at the Clawson Senior Center; interested participants must register in advance. From 4 to 5:30 p.m. Dec. 17 at the Blair Memorial Library, there will be a “Getting to Know Your Smartphone” program.
In January, an Online Basics Program Series will be held from 9 to 10:15 a.m. Jan. 11 through Feb. 8 at the Blair Memorial Library. Over the course of this program, participants will learn about basic computer skills.
“If they (seniors) are intimidated by these devices, I think this will empower them and give them that confidence that they need to feel comfortable,” Ball said.

Joe Rheker, Clawson city manager, said that he cannot yet make a comment on the charter amendment.
“Its passage has some legal exposure that still needs to pass scrutiny,” he said via email.
Clawson voters also voted on an infrastructure improvement bond to allow the “City of Clawson, Michigan, to borrow the sum of not to exceed Sixty-Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($64,500,000) and issue its general obligation unlimited tax bonds, in one or more series, payable in not to exceed twenty-one (21) years from the date of issuance, for the purpose of paying all or part of the costs to acquire, construct, reconstruct and improve infrastructure for the City, including road and street improvements, water main replacements and improvements, sanitary sewer improvements, and storm sewer improvements, together with all related site improvements.” The language continues to say that “the estimated millage to be levied in 2025 is 3.50 mills ($3.50 per $1,000 of taxable value) and the estimated simple average annual millage rate required to retire the bonds is 5.26 mills ($5.26 per $1,000 of taxable value).”
The infrastructure improvement bond was approved. Of the 7,021 votes, 4,478 (63.78%) said yes to the bond, and 2,543 (36.22%) said no.
“Hopefully we will be seeing our roads get fixed here,” Kukuk said. “As far as the charter amendment, I don’t have a comment at this point.”
Rheker said that he is relieved that the infrastructure bond has been passed.
“I interviewed 2.5 years ago stating we would have to develop a millage for a revenue stream. Our team worked hard to provide transparent access and awareness to information and how this millage would financially impact them. The voters have spoken and want better roads, sewers, and water mains; and now they’ll get it,” he said over email.
Improvements will begin to be made as early as spring 2025, Rheker said.
“If you look around you will see we have several projects going on: Broadacre/ Washington, Redruth. Miscellaneous Concrete patching and spray patch. We now will be able to continue this tempo and increase it in the years to come,” he said over email.
Democrat Natalie Price once again was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives. Her 6th District seat represents the cities of Berkley and Huntington Woods, and portions of the cities of Birmingham,
“I’m so grateful to my voters and all of my constituents for trusting me to be their voice in Lansing, and the results are clear to me,” she said. “We have a lot of work to do to make sure that everybody is safe and protected in Michigan, and so I’m here for the work.”
Price received 39,803 votes (66.19%) against her Republican challenger, Brent Lamkin, who received 20,329 (33.81%).
Price will be returning to a House that
has now been reclaimed by Republicans. She stated that while her role in Lansing will be different now in the minority, it won’t change how she works for her community.
“It doesn’t take away my resolve to show up to continue to represent what’s best for my constituents, to keep up the hard work and dedication to make sure that everybody has a fair shot in Michigan, and that’s what I’m here to do,” she said. “I’m so grateful to live in a district that clearly supports a collective vision of making sure that working fam-

and then I solder around the edges to make a stained glass ornament with my art on the inside.”
Ferguson creates and sells work through her business, Printer & Press, which is based on her love for drawing and printing, nature, and all things fantasy, according to her website, printerandpress.com.
“In my booth, all of my work starts as an original drawing, an illustration from either my head or based on a story or a fantasy or animals or anything,” she said. “I do the drawings in pencil or pen and ink, and then I will scan my drawings into PhotoShop and color them digitally, and then I can print those in different sizes.”
Ferguson’s work consists of illustrations or etchings that have the tiniest of details, and one piece can take upwards of a few weeks depending on the size.
“Because my work is so detailed, there are a lot of steps involved,” she said. “If it is a larger drawing, it will take weeks to do the drawing itself, which is why I color things on the computer, because it actually makes it faster to do it on the computer.”
Selling artwork through Printer & Press has been Ferguson’s main source of income for nearly 10 years, and she said that the Royal Oak Market: Art Fair Edition always provides her with good business.
“I have found it to be very successful. I have also noticed that it continues to gain a following each year, for an event that just started not long ago,” she said. “It is very fun. Like anything at the farmers market, it is fun for sure.”
This year, the art fair is featuring art-
work created by mixed media artist Armando Pedroso, of Fennville.
“This is his first year doing the show, and his work is very phenomenal,” said Allison Neal, senior director of marketing and partnerships for the Guild of Artists & Artisans. “He does painting and is a self-taught artist. People are drawn to his work.”
The show features mainly artists from Michigan, but some come from states surrounding Michigan, according to Neal.
Neal said that the art fair is a unique opportunity to have something fun to do during the week, because it is on a Thursday and a Friday.
“Most shows are usually on the weekend, so it gives you something to do for the week or during the day, if you’re off or want to do something during your lunch break,” she said. “It also goes late into the evening. It goes until 9 o clock, so it’s great.”
There will be food options at the event and also a new addition of canned cocktails from sponsor Dillon’s Small Batch Distillers, according to Neal. Live entertainment will be performing throughout the event.
“We’re proud to provide the metro Detroit community with a cozy art fair to kick off the holiday season,” Nicole McKay, artist relations director of the Guild of Artists & Artisans, said in a prepared statement. “This event brings together exceptional artists to create a fun atmosphere that’s been a crowd favorite for gift shopping no matter your budget.”

ing lamps, plants, rugs, and oddly shaped or lighter items themselves. One can also save time by having boxes and bins already taped and closed, dresser drawers already emptied, and beds already stripped down.
But the movers can handle everything themselves, if needed.
“I always tell customers that we can do as much or as little as you’d like,” Dwojakowski said. “We can come into your house with zero prep and pack every box, disassemble and wrap furniture, move it into the new home, and even unpack the boxes we packed. We offer junk removal services to fully dispose of any leftover items that aren’t going to the new home, as well.”
As for their approach, “The men typically do not load the truck with boxes first or furniture first, rather loading both together to maximize the space in the truck, like Tetris,” she said. “It’s best to have boxes stacked and have clear pathways for the men to move around.”
Some homes make for more challenging moves than others, with the biggest obstacles being stairs, elevators, long walks and general disorganization.

with freight elevators, the customer is able to reserve the time so that we do not have to share the elevator with others, which helps speed up things significantly,” Dwojakowski said. “The best thing you can do to ensure your move goes smoothly is to be ready.”
She added that while the movers accept tips, they never expect them.
“Anything the customer is comfortable with is very appreciated,” Dwojakowski said. “The guys, of course, are all specially hired and trained. Something that may seem overwhelming or stressful for you is just routine for them. They know what to do, and they know how to do it safely. And all of our guys are incredibly kind. They know moving can be stressful, so more than anything, they’re trained to make people feel comfortable. And our move consultants, they really take their time getting all of the information from the customer so that there are no surprises on either end on moving day.”
Added Kelley: “Some of the hardest things in life are death, divorce and moving. They’re some of the most frustrating things people go through. So, we try to make at least the moving part easier.”

“I made it a point to diversify my career as much as I could so I could keep taking that next step. I’m always looking for what my next step is going to be,” Young said.
When Young was starting out, she said it took a long time to earn trust as a female officer.
“I think there was a perceived vulnerability that not just my coworkers, but even suspects out on the road underestimated me or targeted me just because I was a female. They thought that maybe I was weaker or easier to manipulate,” Young said.
Young said that being a woman in law enforcement, especially early on in a career, it can feel like “having a bad day” was not an option because it feels like everyone is looking at you.
“There are times where I came in with a chip on my shoulder, you know, I wanted to prove to everybody that I belonged here, and that I was going to go far in my career, and that no matter what was thrown at me, I was going to overcome it,” Young said.
Young urges women who are new to law enforcement to find a mentor. She adds that it is important for female officers to remember who they wanted to be in the field in the first place.
“You are going to have a unique set of challenges that your male counterparts don’t have to deal with. You’re going to be judged a little harder, you’re going to be maybe criticized a little harsher,” Young said. “I think it’s all about not losing sight of who you are.”
Detective L. McDonald is with the Farmington Hills Police Department’s Investigations Division.
McDonald started at the Farmington Hills Police Department in November 2011 as a police service aide, which is a civilian position with the department. After graduating from the Oakland Police Academy in December 2012, she applied for a police
position at the department. She completed several months of training and about nine years of working road patrol before moving to her current position.
When she first started working in law enforcement, she said there were not nearly as many female officers at the department as there are today. The Farmington Hills Police Department currently has 16 female sworn officers.
They also have a program to recruit women police officers. “Blue, Red & You” is a workshop for women who are interested in becoming a first responder. This program was developed in 2022 in efforts to recruit more women for careers at the Farmington Hills Police and Fire departments.
“I wanted to succeed and do well so that I could show the other female officers here, ‘Look what you can accomplish,’ and just kind of be a mentor to the female officers that are coming in, just like I had mentors when I was coming in,” McDonald said.
Capt. Jennifer Miles is the commander of the Emergency Communications and Operations Division at the Oakland County
Sheriff’s Office. She started at the Sheriff’s Office in 1999 and has held several positions in her 25 years of service.
One of her many duties, which she began in 2009 and still does today, is a women’s self-defense program for civilian women throughout the county.
Miles is currently at the FBI National Academy to bring back skills in leadership, mindfulness and resilience to her agency.
“I think that we as women think and feel like every day you have to prove yourself that you belong there, and so every day is 100%. You don’t get to have a bad day,” Miles said.
Miles encourages anyone interested in law enforcement to come apply to make a difference in their community.
“We are the heart and soul of protection and making sure that everybody goes home to their family. So if there are things that are perceived injustices or just straight up injustices, come help us, from the inside, solve that,” Miles said.

Waters and Fallone will cover all four communities.
Previously, the program was talked about during a public open house hosted by the Royal Oak Police Department on April 24, and again at the Oct. 28 City Commission meeting.
Fallone attended the City Commission meeting Oct. 28 and said that she and Waters are excited to work alongside the ROPD.
“We have seen a lot of success out there,” Fallone said, referencing her previous work as a co-responder. “I’ve seen a lot of success with just being on the scene and offering alternatives to not only the officers, but also the people who we attend to in the community.”
According to a press release, “The two mental health clinicians hired for the CoRe program have received comprehensive training tailored to the specific needs of law enforcement.”
Training included familiarizing themselves with departmental policies, participating in officer ride-alongs, shadowing experienced co-responders and receiving safety training alongside law enforcement personnel, according to the release.
At the Royal Oak Police Department open house that took place on April 24, Chief Michael Moore said that the
clinicians will be equipped with a radio, car and indication that they are a social worker, not to be confused with a police officer or bystander.
Evan Ahlin, police communications liaison for the Ferndale Police Department, led the press conference Oct. 29, outlining the program.
“This partnership of our four police departments and Oakland Community Health Network is more than just a service; it is a commitment to our communities,” Ahlin said. “Operating under the motto ‘Responding as One,’ it represents teamwork, progress, hope and a shared vision for the future.”
Trisha Zizumbo, chief operating officer for Oakland Community Health Network, spoke at the press conference highlighting OCHN’s role in the program.
Zizumbo said that the program began in 2021 in Auburn Hills, Birmingham and Bloomfield Township.
One million dollars in American Rescue Plan Act funds allocated to the program by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners made it possible for CoRe to expand into Ferndale, Royal Oak, Madison Heights and Hazel Park.
“They (clinicians) provide crisis intervention to deescalate, and provide resources, support and services to individuals in the community,” she said. “CoRe is a part of OCHN’s justice department. We are really fortunate to be one of the only community mental health resources in the state of Michigan that has an entire department focused solely on our intersection with the justice department.”
Zizumbo said that since 2021, the program has received more than 3,500 referrals from law enforcement agencies

that they work with. It has also grown to serve 15 communities.
“The reality is when someone is in crisis, people call 911, and traditionally law enforcement might not have had all of the answers at that time. ... Sometimes we just wouldn’t get to the root cause of what the issues might be,” Royal Oak Police Chief Michael Moore said at the press conference. “With this program, that is simply not the case anymore. Our clinicians are a valuable resource.”
Each participating department will form a CoRe Team consisting of a CoRe team coordinator, CoRe liaison officer and a mental health clinician.
The clinicians will provide services such as case consultations, referrals to community resources and coordination of ongoing care. Co-responders will also play a vital role in training and assisting CoRe Teams so that law enforcement and mental health services go hand in hand.
“The research shows our communities are going to benefit from this program, and I truly believe that it’s going to save lives in the long run,” Moore said. “We can’t wait to deliver it to our communities.”
Starting immediately, the CoRe team will be assisting law enforcement in Royal Oak, Ferndale, Hazel Park and Madison Heights in situations relating to a mental health crisis.
