District voters also fill school board seats
BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com
The South Lake Schools operating millage proposal was passed by voters on Nov. 5.
According to unofficial election results from the city of St. Clair Shores, 5,245 voters said “yes” to the proposal and 4,391 said “no” to it.
South Lake Public Schools Superintendent Ted VonHiltmayer said he is very pleased with the millage renewal.
“It just shows that our community continues to support South Lake schools,” VonHiltmayer said. “It’s going to allow us to continue to provide the best education we can for our students. Our community always rises to the occasion, and they come out and support South Lake. I couldn’t be happier.”
South Lake Public Schools also had two Board of Education positions on the ballot. In the race for one partial term

Incumbents prevail in top Macomb offices

MACOMB COUNTY — In an election year defined by a polarized electorate, Macomb County residents opted to stick with the government they have.
The county’s prosecutor, clerk, sheriff, treasurer and public works commissioner — all incumbent officeholders — were each elected to another term on Nov. 5, with statewide Election Day trends favoring Republican candidates in all but one of the races among Macomb County’s top administrative officials.
In the Macomb County clerk and register of deeds race, with all precincts reporting now, Republican Anthony G. Forlini led with about 57.8% of the vote. Democrat David Adams had about 41.7%.
In an email, Forlini credited his victory to Macomb County residents’ confidence in the job that he has already been doing as clerk. He also reflected on his campaign.
“From the very beginning when I ran and won for (Harrison Township) township supervisor through my current term as County Clerk I have always ran a positive campaign, respecting the people that I ran against,” Forlini said.
Anthony Wickersham retained the Macomb County Sheriff’s badge, the lone Democrat to win among the county’s five top seats. Vote counting in the race for sheriff ran well into election night and the morning after, and the race was not called in Wicker-

Indiana girl donates hair in SCS
BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com
An Indiana girl traveled to St. Clair Shores to donate her hair to make wigs for kids in need.
After careful research and consideration, Jillian, the hair donor, ultimately decided to donate her hair to Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan. The organization creates wigs for children with different medical conditions, including cancer and alopecia, that causes them to lose their hair.
Jillian and her mother Amanda traveled all the way from Northeast Indiana to
deliver her hair to the organization. The journey takes around three hours by car to get to St. Clair Shores.
Jillian said when she conducted her research, she liked the cause and the provided information, calling it the best fit for her.
She’s been growing her hair out for around five years. She said she’s wanted to donate her hair for quite a while.
“At one point I was like if I want to do this then I’ve just got to do it,” Jillian said.
She went on to say she went through a couple websites and found the organization.

South Lake Schools receives $41,000 grant for auto program
BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com
According to a press release, South Lake Schools received a $41,000 grant from the Margaret Dunning Foundation to purchase and install a new scissor lift for their automotive program at South Lake High School.
“This project will help our students gain valuable hands-on experience working on vehicle steering systems, including vehicle alignments,” the press release said.
John Thero, South Lake Schools curriculum director, said the grant application opened in March and was pretty straight forward. He said they had a need to replace the items in the automotive program.
“I completed the grant, collected bud-

getary numbers, told them about our auto program, what we were trying to do and submitted a budget for what we were requesting,” Thero said.
In late July, a representative from the foundation looked at the auto shop.
“So I took her over to our auto shop and showed her what exactly we were looking to replace,” Thero said. “At that point she said that more than likely we would be funded.”
At their September meeting, the foundation made final decisions regarding grant applications. At the time of the interview, the school district was waiting for the check to come and the timeline for the installation was still unknown.

Man arraigned in assault, ethnic intimidation case
BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com
According to a press release sent by the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, a 55-year-old man has been arraigned for alleged assault and hate crimes against volunteers handing out political campaign materials.
According to the release, on Oct. 12, Jason Lynch Lafond visited the tent at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Walter F. Bruce Post #1146 on Jefferson Avenue in search of Donald Trump campaign material. A volunteer reportedly explained that day the tent was handing out campaign material for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
“Lafond allegedly shouted derogatory slurs, including ones targeting sexual orientation,” the release stated. “He further said that when Trump wins, he will ‘exterminate’ people like them.”
The release went on to say that Lafond returned to his vehicle and accelerated toward the volunteers, many of whom had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit. Lafond allegedly then fled the scene.
The St. Clair Shores Police Department
conducted a thorough investigation, according to the release, and Lafond was identified. The Macomb County Prosecutor’s office charged him with three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, a four-year felony, and three counts of ethnic intimidation, a two-year felony.
The release stated that an ethnic intimidation charge must prove three key elements beyond a reasonable doubt in order to get a conviction.
“First, the defendant must have either threatened physical harm to the victim or threatened to damage the victim’s property in a way that appeared credible,” the release stated. “Second, the defendant’s actions must have lacked any justifiable reason. Finally, prosecutors must show that the defendant acted out of bias, targeting the victim specifically because of their race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or nationality.”
On Oct. 31, Lafond was arraigned in the 40th District Court in St. Clair Shores where Judge Mark Fratarcangeli set a $50,000 personal bond. According to the release, Lafond

Confidence, comradery showcase bright future for MAC hockey
RECAP OF MAC HOCKEY MEDIA DAY
BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com
MACOMB COUNTY — As L’Anse Creuse Unified head coach Jon Nader said before the night began, the Macomb Area Conference was “flying by the seat of our pants” as nine teams gathered for the inaugural media day event.
Media days have been extinct for several years in the MAC across all sports, so it was a refreshing, exciting, and also anxious moment for MAC hockey as L’Anse Creuse Unified played host for the first-ever MAC hockey media day Nov. 4 at Macomb L’Anse Creuse North High School.
Coaches exchanged pleasantries and various team members from opposing schools conversed, ending in laughter and a sudden urge to step on the ice and show who the better team was this season.
But most importantly, it was a stepping stone in efforts for MAC hockey to
grow its popularity and recognition in the path towards what other conferences have built on the hockey scene — such as the Oakland Activities Association and Kensington Lakes Activities Association.
Maybe it will set the tone for other MAC sports to bring back media days of their own, but for now, all the attention was set on the hockey scene and what each team is going to bring to the table this year.
Below is a summary of the local teams in the 2024-2025 MAC hockey field. For a full preview, go to candgnews. com.
St. Clair Shores Unified (Co-op of Lake Shore and Lakeview) League: Macomb Area Conference White
Last season’s record: 13-10-1
St. Clair Shores Unified’s season could’ve taken a different road then it ended up on, and there’s something to be said for that type of turnaround.
An 11-0-1 run in the middle of the season flipped the script on a 2-6 start,

Optimists to host ‘no sew’ blanket parties
The St. Clair Shores Optimists Club is hosting two “no sew” blanket parties this year.
Attendees only need a good pair of fabric scissors and a “no sew” blanket kit that can be found at Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts or online vendors such as Amazon, a press release stated. Volunteers are available to help if an attendee has never made a “no sew” blanket before. All blankets will be donated to the Macomb Foster Closet for foster children.
Both parties will be from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The first one will be on Nov. 21 and the second one will be on Dec. 3. Both will be located at the Lakeview Public Schools Administration building at 27575 Harper Avenue.
In 1928, when St. Clair Shores was still the Village of St. Clair Shores, its population was just under 7,000, and the village maintained 35 miles of paved roads.
During the 1930s and 1940s, the village grew steadily, reaching nearly 20,000 residents by the 1950 census. By 1960, the population had surged to almost 77,000. By 1972, the city of St. Clair Shores had grown to over 88,000 people. The Department of Public Works managed 187 miles of paved streets and an additional five miles of unpaved roads.
This photo, taken around 1972, shows St. Clair Shores Department of Public Works employees preparing snowplows for the coming winter. At that time, the DPW had 22 staff members and 178 pieces of equipment.
The 1972-1973 winter brought about 45 inches of snow to the metro Detroit area.

Cultural Committee to tour Meadow Brook Hall
The St. Clair Shores Cultural Committee is going to Meadow Brook Hall for a holiday luncheon and a grand tour of the estate.
“Meadow Brook Hall has delivered a breathtaking holiday experience, transporting visitors through the historic mansion decked in shimmering splendor,” a press release stated.
The tour is $53 per person and tickets go on sale Nov. 1. The tour itself is on Dec. 7 and attendees board the bus and check in at noon that day at the St. Clair Shores Public Library.
Included in the ticket is SMART bus transportation, a three-course meal and a 90-minute self-guided tour.
The meal will feature a beet and feta with greens salad, chicken paprikash with grilled asparagus and Dutch apple pie for dessert. Vegetarian options are available for the entree.
Tickets can be purchased at the library’s circulation desk. The library is located at 22500 11 Mile Road.
Police Department moves to St. Lucy’s
According to a press release, The St. Clair Shores Police Department operations have temporarily moved to the school portion of St. Lucy’s Catholic Church. The move began on Nov. 1.
During this time, some of the department’s services have temporarily halted. There will be no fingerprint services unless they are ordered by the court. No stray animals will be accepted. Please hold all strays at home until Macomb County Animal Control can retrieve the animals or call animal control directly at (586) 469-5115. Officers will be available to help scan chips to assist in locating owners.
Some operations will remain the same including a drug disposal box in the temporary lobby and record bureau services.
To limit disruptions to church operations, the department encourages residents to call SERESA dispatch at (586) 777-6700.
This temporary location will be in place for over a year. More information will become available when they are preparing to move back to 11 Mile Road and Jefferson Avenue into the new station.

Amanda said she is very proud of her daughter.
“Jillian has always been a compassionate kid who has always liked serving and helping others, especially, you know, younger, like youth, like kids, teenagers,” Amanda said.
She went on to say Jillian is involved in a variety of different organizations including places that provide youth groups and retreats with children.
“I’m always proud of Jillian for what she does and who she is and who she is becoming,” Amanda said. “It’s amazing to be her mom.”
Jennifer Fisher, development director for Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan, gave them a full tour of the facility. It has a styling room for kids and teenagers and much more. Since many kids with cancer can’t go to a regular salon because of germs, the organization offers them a salon experience right in the facility.
During the tour, Amanda said Jillian wanted to donate her hair for quite a while.
“We didn’t just want to throw the hair in an envelope, so we wanted to come here,” Amanda said during the tour.
Amanda appreciated how the organization cares for the whole person instead of just giving the children wigs.

“This alleged assault was not just an assault on the victims. It was an assault on the rights of the victims to express themselves
“I love how you’re trying to help with every aspect because that makes a difference,” Amanda said during the tour.
Fisher said she thinks Maggie Varney, Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan founder and CEO, realized they needed to care for the whole person after working with so many kids and taking surveys. She went on to say when they started, they just provided wigs to the kids.
“They would tell her all these things that they needed help on,” Fisher said during the tour. “And when the parents would sit there and go, ‘Well, I’d love to do this for her, but insurance doesn’t cover it.’ And (we) went, ‘Well, why can’t we provide that? Why can’t we do this and make it like a whole wellness package?’”
Varney said families normally cannot afford the wigs they make, but because of people like Jillian who donate their hair they can make the wigs for the children and their families.
“As long as they need our services, they can stay in our program,” Varney said. “They get a new wig every single year and it costs them nothing and their families nothing.”
Councilman Dave Rubello said Varney is known around the state and called Jillian an angel for donating her hair.
“You’re helping people and those are the people that say they were touched by an angel,” Rubello said.

• A request to reallocate funds for the lead service line replacement and water rate stabilization funds from the water fund balance to American Rescue Plan Act funds.
• Request to approve the submission of the final ARPA allocation to the state.
• Request to approve moving forward with securing bond information.
Sam Ashley, Cunningham Limp president, presented the first item.
According to items attached to the Oct. 21 agenda, on Oct. 16, construction of the police station was estimated to cost around $12,695,730 and construction for the fire station was estimated to cost around $9,516,470, for a total of around $22,212,200.
City Manager Dustin Lent said adding together the hard and soft costs brings the total for the two buildings to around $25,335,083. The police station total was $14,742,223 and the central fire station total was $10,592,660.
In October 2023, the estimated police department budget was $10,905,000 and
the central fire station was $7,500,000 for a total of $18,405,000.
American Rescue Plan Act money will be used to cover $18 million of the project with around $3 million of that money already spent on other projects, Lent said in an email. The total amount the city received was $21,247,393 with a stipulation to spend it all by Dec. 31, 2026, the email stated.
According to items from the agenda, the city also approved the reallocation of funds put toward the lead service line replacement and water fund balance back to ARPA funds. These funds, in the amount of $2,027,668.69, were originally used to “keep rates lower for residents due to the then unknowns of the pandemic.”
The contract with Cunningham-Limp states that any unspent money will go back to the city, Ashley said.
“We would have to do a deductive change at the end of the project,” Ashley said. “But those go back to the city: 0% retained by the construction manager (and) 100% of savings that are returned back to the owner, which is the city.”
Ashley said if they exceed that amount, it comes out of their side of the equation.
“There’s no upside risk associated with the guaranteed max on behalf of the city,” Ashley said. “It is different, however, if

somebody says we want to add one of these options that aren’t approved. Then, that amount would have to be changed.”
During discussion of the first item, Councilman Dave Rubello said they did everything they could, and that ARPA money is covering most of the construction costs. He also said the new 21st century buildings will attract more police and fire employees.
“I think that by putting these buildings in, you know, we’re doing someone a favor that’s going to be replacing all of us one day, so they don’t have to look at this and they’re good for another 50 years,” Rubello said. “I think that’s a pretty good deal when someone else is paying the freight on 74% of the bill.”
Caron said he wrote up a list of wants at the initial walkthrough of the police station. He said he thinks they all want better buildings, but it comes down to cost and how they are going to pay for it.
“We all want to give our employees the best that we can,” Caron said. “But it’s how we pay for it and how much resources we’re going to use from the future to get into it.”
He went on to say he’s worried about future costs including contract negotiations which he said will be the first since inflation over 20%. He said the increase from around $16 million to over $25 million is concerning.
Rusie said she agrees with Caron.
She pointed out that prices have increased since July 2024. She said the police station started at $14.35 million whereas it is now at around $14.75 million, and the fire station was at $9.9 million whereas it is now at around $10.6 million. She also stated that these increases are incremental.
“So it just keeps increasing,” Rusie said.
Mayor Kip Walby acknowledged that the project has been a long experience and stated he knows it has exceeded what they started with.
“This process is near four years old of the whole ARPA and what we’re going to do with the ARPA,” Walby said. “Since then, in those three and half, four years, right, no question the numbers have gone up. Inflation has gone up.”
Walby went on to say he did not sit on the committee, but they came to the conclusion that building new buildings instead of retrofitting existing buildings was the right way to go. He also said the buildings are around 65 years old.
“We got a lot of good years out of them,” Walby said. “But it’s time that we, I think, put that money back into these buildings here so we do get something like 50 years with it.”

which completely changed the mentality of the squad.
“During that last stretch we had last season, we really came together as a team and developed our identity and where we wanted to be as a team,” senior forward Brennen Lenk said. “Practices became more competitive and everything just started to mesh more, and it really showed on the ice.”
There’s also something to be said for how the playoffs turned out for SCS Unified, which was a disappointment.
The Lakers captured the attention of local fans two seasons ago as they made a run to the regional finals, beating both Grosse Pointe North and Grosse Pointe South to have a shot at Warren De La Salle.
Going into the playoffs last year, junior forward Gavin Mckee said the team may have gotten a little too excited.
“I think we were thinking more of (Warren) De La Salle than Port Huron Northern, and I think we just got there and we were flat,” Mckee said. “Ever since then, and I remember that last shift against Port Huron Northern because I gave it my all, so I’ve just been continuing that and trying to be my best.”
Lenk (15 goals, 22 assists) and Mckee (16 goals, 20 assists) headline the returning group alongside senior forward Vaughn Zmijewski (14 goals, 20 assists), junior forward Caden Gersch (15 goals, 16 assists), and junior goaltender Will Young, an allstate honorable mention.
The Lakers have all the talent to make it back to the regional finals, and it will rely on their scorers and up-tempo play to take them there.
“We have a pretty high-flying offense,” Lenk said. “We have a lot of playmakers on our team and a lot of kids who can finish and skate. We play well as a unit and pass the puck well with the way we zip it around. We just play with a lot of energy.”
Chippewa Valley United (Co-op of Chippewa Valley and Macomb Dakota) League: Macomb Area Conference Red Last season’s record: 19-9
This senior group has really turned around the hockey program, posting 21 and 19 wins, respectively, the past two seasons while becoming regulars in the regional finals.
Now it’s about getting over the regional finals hump and making some noise in the tournament, and a playoff loss to league rival
Romeo last season might be just exactly what the team needed.
“It’s honestly inspiration for us. I think we have the talent to come back and do it again,” junior forward Cameron Staskowski said. “We lost two years in a row, so we think this is our year.”
Posting 19 goals and 25 assists last season, Staskowski, who was voted team captain and second team all-state last year, leads an experienced group alongside senior forward and assistant captain Kevin Dolney (23 goals, 12 assists) and senior defenseman Andrew Johnston (4 goals, 16 assists).
Chippewa Valley United, comprised of Macomb Dakota and Chippewa Valley, formed a co-op for the first time last season as Chippewa Valley joined Dakota’s already established hockey program.
It took a moment for the team to gel and understand how each other plays, but by the end of the regular season Chippewa Valley United was on an 11-1 run, including nine-straight wins, and playing its best hockey yet.
The 2025 campaign will be all about building off the success and finally capturing a regional championship, and who knows where the journey goes from there.
“We just have a really good bond on our team and we all get along,” Johnston said. “I think that will help us make a run this year because we have something to prove.”
L’Anse Creuse Unified (Co-op of LCN and LC) League: Macomb Area Conference White Last season’s record: 12-14
The father-son trip with the whole team has been a tradition under head coach Jon Nader, which will feature three days and three cities this year with Tawas, Traverse City and Gaylord.
“It’s a lot of bonding time,” junior goaltender Perez Silva said. “Once we’re done with the bus trip we usually stay in rooms with our teammates. It’s just a great bonding experience where we can all get together and just really get close with each other before the season.”
Since L’Anse Creuse Unified was unable to make the trip last season, maybe that’s why a team that had sustained success in both the regular season and playoffs was eliminated in the first round.
But what each player agreed upon was that they’re coming into the season with a “chip on their shoulder,” and the weight of the success will be laid on its senior core consisting of senior forward Aiden Suchocki (14 goals, 13 assists), senior forward Justin Brooks (12 goals, 15 assists), senior forward Vince Pica (16 goals, 10 assists), and senior

Macomb
reputation as a Republican stronghold, but Wickersham was quick to downplay the idea of his approach to the office as partisan.
“For the last four years it’s been this way, starting in 2016, and to be honest with you I try to stay out of the political arena,” Wickersham said. “I’m a law enforcement (and) corrections professional and that’s the job I want to do. Obviously, I know the sheriff’s position is political and partisan, so you’ve got to pick a side. I just want the people of Macomb County to know that as Sheriff, I put the roles and responsibilities first before the politics.”
Wickersham plans to continue the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office’s focus on completing the central intake and assessment center at the Macomb County Jail, hiring deputies for contracted policing areas, the office’s focus on proactive policing and, ultimately, reducing crime.
“I’ve been the sheriff for 14 years and now I have another four to complete my projects, my missions and to do the job that I love.”
In the prosecutor race, Republican Peter Lucido received 279,131 votes (56.91%) at press time, besting Democrat Chris-
tina Hines, who received 209,233 votes (42.66%).
Lucido said he was honored and humbled that the election results showed a lot of good things had happened since he took office that allowed him to clean the office up.
“And to move forward now and show the people with hard work, determination you can succeed at anything you do,” Lucido said. “And that’s what we’ve done. We’ve done a great job. The entire office is now motivated to do the things that needed to be done.”
Hines said in a text she thanks those who supported her and that the experience was incredible.
“The people I met, the conversations we had, the organizing we did — this is the actual work of democracy, and I am so grateful for this experience and for the remarkable work that so many people did every day for this campaign,” Hines said in the text. “It is not the outcome we hoped for, but I believe that we made a difference in our community, and I am looking forward to doing absolutely everything I can to continue to strengthen our community and fight for what is right.”
In the treasurer race, Republican Larry Rocca received 277,780 votes (57.97%) and Democrat Matthew Churchwell received 198,930 votes (41.52%).
Rocca said he is humbled to have the support of Macomb County residents.
“I continue to do a good job for the citizens of Macomb County and make this county the greatest county in Michigan,” Rocca said.
Churchwell said he thinks his campaign ran a great race.
“We have, just the rest of the party, a whole lot to learn,” Churchwell said. “I give my best to Larry. I think he’ll serve faithfully and serve the constituents in Macomb County and we’ll look to the next one.”
In the public works commissioner race, Republican Candice Miller received 301,853 votes (51.06%), Democrat Kevin Higgins received 170,011 votes (44.29%) and Libertarian Jim Fulner received 12,274 votes (3.81%).
Miller said she is honored the people of Macomb County gave her another four years to continue as public works commissioner.
“I ran this race basically on my record over the last eight years, previous eight years,” Miller said. “And really that focus has been and will continue to be how we can improve on water quality because water quality equals quality of life. And then also how our department can be a critical component of economic prosperity for the county.”
Higgins had no comment on the race.

Grant
“I’ve got the quote here. Once we get the money, we’ll put a PO out,” Thero said. “And then we’ve also got to remove the old lift that’s in there. We’re in the process of removing that lift now. I imagine it will probably take one to two months to get it installed.”
They are hoping the items in the auto shop become available for this school year.
Superintendent Ted VonHiltmayer said the lift that received grant funding is one of three in the shop.
“This one would be the one that they had used to complete wheel alignment and those types of things,” VonHiltmayer said.
Both VonHiltmayer and Thero are excited for the grant funding and the new equipment. Thero explained they purchased a new wheel balancing machine from a separate fund last year as well as a fairly new wheel alignment system they purchased a few years ago using state funds.
“We do have some large pieces of equipment that are fairly new in that program,” Thero said.
VonHiltmayer said he’s been with South Lake Schools for around 29 years and
that the auto shop ran for years before that.
“It was there prior to me starting and I know that they used to have, actually, a car that they raced,” VonHiltmayer said.
Thero said the old lift did not pass inspection and the kids cannot complete wheel alignments until the new one is installed.
“They can use the other three lifts to do brakes and front-end work and oil changes and things like that, but we can’t actually do wheel alignment because that lift is not usable,” Thero said.
VonHiltmayer said that it does not have a significant impact on the curriculum.
“It’s one thing to learn about something from software or a book and it’s another thing to actually do it,” VonHiltmayer said. “They are losing out on that hands-on aspect in that one particular area. So we’re hoping to bring that back as soon as we can.”
Thero and VonHiltmayer said they really appreciate the support of the Dunning Foundation.
“They seem to have a strong focus on supporting programs, specifically auto programs,” Thero said. “But I know they support other hands-on type activities.”
“It doesn’t just benefit South Lake students,” VonHiltmayer said. “We do get
students from Grosse Pointe for example. So there are students in some of the surrounding schools that are actually able to take part in our CTE program and take advantage of that.”
In other news, Thero said they’ve also recently replaced the ELA curriculum at the elementary school level, the math curriculum at the middle and high school levels and they are currently completing a pilot for high school science curriculum. They also replaced the English and social studies curriculums at the high school levels last year.
“We’re seeing the benefit of those,” Thero said. “Our test scores went up slightly going into this year.”
Thero said they’re investing in their core curriculum in all areas as well as working with teachers focusing on instructional practice.
“Because if we’re providing them with the curriculum then we want them to spending their time on (determining) how do they teach that curriculum in a really engaging way that students enjoy learning,” Thero said.
Thero said they usually replace curriculums around every six or seven years.

BUSINESS CLIP
CRIME WATCH
Larceny reported on Harper Avenue
At 11:42 a.m. on Oct. 30, an act of larceny was reported that occurred on Oct. 18 in the 27000 block of Harper Avenue.
A 55-year-old man told officers that two customers were in the store opening up a new account for cellular services. Video surveillance shows one of the customers stealing an iPhone owned by an employee who left it to charge. The video shows the suspect look past an employee who was focused on their computer, and then collect his belongings including the iPhone. The man called the mother of the suspect, the other customer, and she denied that the suspect ever stole the phone and refused to put them on the line. The man advised her that a police report was being filed and they had them on video surveillance.
ATM skimmer found on Harper Avenue
At 6:52 p.m. on Oct 30, suspicious circumstances prompted further investigation in the 21000 block of Harper Avenue. A technician, a 25-year-old man, was working on an ATM machine that was reported to be malfunctioning when he discovered an electronic card skimmer.
He inspected the rest of the ATM and discovered a fake cover plate attached to the PIN keypad security overhang. A small slit in the cover plate showed a camera seated behind it.
There was also a micro-SD card attached to the camera. The man said he only touched the outer edges of the cover plate and skimmer with his bare hands. The man was unable to find any logs showing when the ATM was last serviced. An officer spoke to the store clerk who said the owner might have logs showing when the ATM was serviced but they were unsure.
Larceny reported on Eight Mile Road
At 1:04 p.m. on Oct. 28, an act of larceny was reported in the 20000 block of Eight Mile Road.
The victim, a 74-year-old man, came into the police station and stated that his wallet was stolen from his locker at a local gym. He explained he locked belongings in the locker and when he finished his workout a half an hour later, the lock and his wallet was gone. In the wallet was his driver’s license, two credit cards and $70 in cash. His wife informed him that both credit cards were being used at a store in Harper Woods. The cards were charged with $913, $800 and $700. The first two charges declined, and the last charge was returned to the man by his bank.
The credit cards were immediately canceled. The man advised that he was heading to the store after making the report to see if his wallet was left behind and would contact the police department if he finds it.
Retail fraud reported on Marter Road
At 1:29 p.m. on Oct. 26, a retail fraud claim was reported in the 23000 block of Marter Road.
An officer spoke with the manager of the store, a 40-year-old man, who stated he saw two men exit the store
with approximately 15 bottles of unknown tequila on their person. He heard the bottles making noise in their backpack and clothing. He advised both men to drop the liquor which they declined to do. Both got into a black vehicle with a Michigan registration.
Officers checked the area but could not locate the vehicle.
Property damage reported on Northshore Drive
At 6:55 a.m. on Oct. 30, property damage was reported on Northshore Drive.
The caller stated that his tires had been slashed. Upon arrival, the officer saw the victim’s vehicle backed up by an office with its back tires flat and with holes in them showing it was not accidental.
The victim, a 40-year-old man, stated that at 6:17 a.m. that morning he received an alert telling him that his tires were low. He went outside and saw both back tires were flat. He stated that this was not the first time this occurred. On Oct. 27, he was at an apple orchard when they were slashed and on Oct. 28, his vehicle was parked in a complex lot when his alert went off again.
He kept these tires in the trunk for further observation. The man stated he recently moved and not very many people knew that. He does not have any suspects, but the officer advised him to figure out who has the information and a motive. The man has insurance on his vehicle. There were no surveillance cameras observed by officers on the scene.

forward Drew Halaas (12 goals, 10 assists).
Expect junior forward Logan Jarvey (8 goals, 17 assists) and junior goaltender Perez Silva, who was 3-6 with a .913 save percentage, to also be standout players for L’Anse Creuse Unified as well.
L’Anse Creuse Unified’s season took a massive hit at the end of the year when it faced a 2-8 stretch, including sevenstraight losses.
“We kind of switched up the lines a little bit and tried new things, and it just didn’t work out,” Jarvey said. “We were somewhat of a younger team. This year will be much better.”
With a motivated, veteran group, expect L’Anse Creuse Unified to significantly improve this year and return to its winning ways.
Utica-Fraser Unified (Co-op of Utica, Utica Ford, Sterling Heights Stevenson and Fraser) League: Macomb Area Conference Red Last season’s record: 11-14
What a year this could be for Utica-Fraser Unified.
Holding only 16 players on the roster last season, and at some points just 10 skaters during games, Utica-Fraser Unified’s roster has retooled from 16 to 28 after Fraser and Sterling Heights Stevenson joined.
More players means more line changes and cool down periods for the team’s skaters, which bodes well for a team that won 11 games last season on the backs of a limited roster.
“I feel like we’re going to be one of the better teams this year with the amount of players we have and the bodies keeping us fresh and energized,” junior goaltender Eli Chodun said.
Chodun is one of the primary returners this year alongside senior forward Niko Lajb (28 goals, 10 assists), sophomore forward Nate Sheridan (14 goals, 14 assists), and senior defenseman Ashtin Fertik (8 goals, 19 assists).
With more firepower and depth, expect Utica-Fraser Unified to showcase improvement, and potentially build towards something special in the coming years.
“Our offense has been really strong for us, and our goaltending has been really good too,” Lajb said. “I think we can beat a lot of people with our offense and goaltending.”
Utica Eisenhower
League: Macomb Area Conference Red
Last season’s record: 7-19-1
The bottom of the league is never the place you want to be, but Eisenhower isn’t letting last season’s struggles define who they are.
The Eagles 2024 graduation class certainly didn’t do this year’s squad any favors by taking away the top-six point scorers, but the returning core of senior forward/defenseman Adam Morrison, senior forward Brendan Chateau, and
senior forward Jacob Blanzy, and senior defenseman Dylan Rodgers will help Eisenhower continue to progress.
“We have a lot of heart,” Chateau said. “We never give up. If we’re down two goals in the third, we’re going to score and come back.”
Eisenhower will also return all of its goaltenders from last season, bolstering the defensive side with veterans.
First-year head coach David Erwin will need his seniors to step up and be leaders if the Eagles are going to find their footing early, which has been a struggle in the past.
Building a successful foundation should be the point of focus for Eisenhower, and Morrison said he and the seniors are ready for the challenge.
“These kids are going to be playing for the next couple years, so if we want to keep growing the program we have to show these kids what to do in the future,” Morrison said.
Grosse Pointe North
League: Macomb Area Conference Blue
Last season’s record: 1-22
It will be an uphill battle for a Norsemen team graduating its top-three point scorers, but senior captain Tim Klatt will be a key veteran hoping to lead the squad to an improving season.
Sophomore goaltender Ben Bugeja, who faced nearly 900 shots in his first varsity season, will also return in net for North.
