TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES APPROVE ROADWORK FUNDING, NEW PLAYGROUND

BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Michigan roads will never stop breaking down, but the Clinton Township Board of Trustees took steps to improve some of the community’s roads at its Nov. 13 meeting.

The first road project brought up was a special assessment district for the Miles North subdivision street, covering 1,750 feet of the 22-foot-wide street at an approximate cost of $939,250, or about $275 per assessable front foot. The Macomb County Department of Roads will assist with 50% of the project cost and bring down the assessable front foot cost to approximately $140.

Special assessment districts are resident-created areas where infrastructure improvements like road repairs are paid for by the residents. If people from the proposed district can gather majority support (over 50%) from landowners in the district, the township begins the process of establishing the district.

“We are at the point now where, after verifying the signatures, that … requires the board to accept the petitions, adopt this resolution and direct the preparation of the improvement plans,” Clinton Township Clerk Kim Meltzer said.

Teaching is a lifestyle for new MSU Extension director METRO DETROIT — Kristi Evans is a teacher, though her lessons have rarely been limited to the walls of a classroom.

She’s been around Michigan, down to Tennessee, returned to the Mitten State and as of Nov. 1, she’s the new Michigan State University Extension District 11 North director.

“I’ve lived and worked and been a resident of Oakland and Macomb throughout the past 15 years, so it’s been really exciting

to come back to the counties I live in and help through MSU Extension and the work that we do to make our communities better,” Evans said. “It’s exciting to be able to make an impact in these two counties.”

Evans’ journey into the world of teaching began not with a teaching degree but on a soccer pitch in Tennessee. After earning a bachelor’s degree in health and wellness from Oakland University, she made the journey down to East Tennessee State University to achieve a master’s degree in sport and fitness admin-

SWITALSKI LAW WINS MOUNT CLEMENS SKELETON CONTEST MOUNT CLEMENS — The 2023 Mount Clemens Beauti-

fication Commission’s Skeleton Contest was won by Switalski Law, embracing the “books and bones” theme of this year and taking first place with its “Hocus Pocus” display.

Abbibo’s took second place with an “A Nightmare Before Christmas” theme, while Natural Healing Therapeutic Massage rounded out third place with its “Treasure Island” arrangement.

The Beautification Commission’s skeleton contest is an annual event where businesses in downtown Mount Clemens set up displays using skeletons based on a theme. This year, 100 judges decided between 26 participants to determine the winner. It was the most businesses that have ever taken part in the event.

Clintondale closes schools for threat CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Clintondale Community Schools operations were disrupted in early November when district administration made the decision to cancel classes for Nov. 13.

According to a letter from Superintendent Kenneth Janczarek, the decision to cancel classes stems from “a physical altercation between students and other community members” on Nov. 10 that led to police officers being dispatched to Normandy Park. Additional reports were made to police and school officials indicating further violence could occur on Nov. 13 and the decision was made to cancel classes out of caution.

“Moving forward, please know that in any and all situations where there is violence, or a threat of violence, Clintondale Community Schools will follow all protocols to keep students and staff safe,” Janczarek said in the letter. “In addition to protocols for keeping students and staff safe, Clintondale Community Schools will follow through on filing police reports and pressing charges against any and all individuals that threaten or pose a threat to the student(s) and staff.”

Classes resumed on Nov. 14 with additional security measures, including an increased police presence.

Emergency services simulate mass casualty event

MACOMB COUNTY — The Macomb County EMS Medical Control Authority conducted a full-scale simulation of a mass casualty event at Kensington Church in Clinton Township on the morning of Nov. 8. Over 200 participants from EMS and fire agencies, law enforcement, dispatch, emergency management and the Region 2 North Healthcare Coalition hospitals took part in the simulation to test and develop response strategies to mass casualty events.

“The safety and well-being of our community are top priorities,” said Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel in a press release.

“Collaborative exercises like these play a crucial role in ensuring our emergency response teams are well prepared and equipped to handle any unforeseen challenges they may face.”

According to Macomb County officials, responding to events like mass shootings require a certain degree of planning and coordination between public safety and emergency management agencies. Events happen quickly — the November 2021 Oxford High School shooting took place over four minutes — requiring response efforts to be quick as well.

First responders gathered at Kensington Church in Clinton Township as part of a mass casualty event simulation on Nov. 8.

Harrison Township hosting hearing for new master plan HARRISON TOWNSHIP — With the township’s current master plan more than 10 years old, Harrison Township officials are working on creating a new master plan outlining a vision for the next 20 years.

The plan will touch on subjects such as land use, housing, transportation and quality of life as well as community resilience and sustainability subjects like flood risk, green infrastructure and coastal resource management.

Residents are invited to take part in a forum about the master plan at St. Hubert Catholic Church on Tuesday, Nov. 28, from 6 to 8 p.m. Forum participants can learn more about the importance of the master plan, discover “best practices” undertaken by other coastal communities and share their thoughts about how the township should plan its next 20 years.

Harper Woods woman arraigned for pedestrian death MOUNT CLEMENS — Harper Woods resident Darci Repine was arraigned on Nov. 13 as a suspect in the death of a pedestrian in Harrison Township.

On the afternoon of Nov. 12, Macomb County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to Metropolitan Parkway and North Pointe Parkway in Harrison Township for a pedestrian hit by a vehicle. Repine remained at the scene while two nurses and deputies administered CPR to the hit pedestrian, who was crossing North Pointe Parkway in an electric wheelchair. The Harrison Township Fire Department transported the victim to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Repine is charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated causing death, a 15-year felony, and was arraigned in 41B District Court by Magistrate Ryan Zemke. A probable cause hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 27, with District Court Judge Carrie Fuca.

“When someone drives under the influence and takes an innocent life, we will seek accountability for those actions,” Macomb County Prosecuting Attorney Peter Lucido said in a press release.

Repine has a $50,000 bond and did not have an attorney at press time.

DNR calls on hunters to report kills online

STATEWIDE — As deer hunters across Michigan set out for the woods, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources reminds hunters to report their deer harvests online.

Now in its second year, online deer harvest reporting through Michigan.gov/DNRHarvestReport and the DNR’s Hunt Fish app allows hunters to help provide the state with deer conservation and management data. In 2022, 208,408 hunters submitted a harvest report.

“We know Michigan’s deer hunters care about quality hunting opportunities and healthy deer herds,” said Chad Stewart, a DNR deer, elk and moose management specialist, in a press release. “Each online harvest report takes just a few minutes but provides critical information about hunting experiences and deer abundance all over the state. That means better management recommendations for Michigan’s deer population.”

1,216 votes (28.4%), followed by Calhoun with 1,174 votes (27.4%) and Yore with 974 votes (22.7%).

All winners of the contested full-term seats were nonincumbents and will join a board that will be faced with major decisions in the near future.

“I know that we will have the issue with the Great Lakes Water Authority and switching over to that. We’ll have to finish (that) up,” Calhoun said. “That is a big thing that we’ll be pushed into doing and we want to make sure that it’s done correctly. I’m really excited to take a closer look at our boards and commissions, many of which have a ton of open seats and work with community members to fill those spots and help recruit new people to do that.”

Campbell finished fourth with 924 votes (21.5%), ending his 16-year stint on the commission.

“Barb Dempsey, the old mayor, had called me last night and I told her that if I

didn’t make it, it was a sign that my mission on the commission had been completed and it was time to move on in a new direction,” Campbell said. “I didn’t make it, so my mission there is complete and I’m going to move onto my next chapter. But it was the greatest honor to be on the commission for 16 years.”

Blight control was a primary goal of Campbell’s time on the commission, which recently culminated in the adoption of an administrative hearings bureau. Campbell does not worry about the future of blight management under the new commission.

“I don’t want to say that I have any concerns, but I hope that they continue to focus on making the city look good,” Campbell said. “I’m sure the new commission will do a great job.”

Incumbent City Commissioner Erik Rick ran unopposed for a partial term set to expire on Nov. 10, 2025, and incumbent Mount Clemens Mayor Laura Kropp ran unopposed for the next two-year term as mayor.

HAVE STRATEGIES IF YOU WANT TO AVOID CONFLICT, ANXIETY DURING THE HOLIDAYS

T

he Thanksgiving turkey is fresh out of the oven, the mashed potatoes are ready and the Christmas tree lights are blinking.

It’s time to eat, but tension is also on the menu.

That’s because, in many cases, the conversation around the dinner table has turned into a political debate, with family members in opposite camps. When someone shares an opinion on the current state of the country, it turns into a heated argument. The hearts are racing, the fists are clenched and the voices become louder. It’s like Archie Bunker and Michael Stivic in the 1970s sitcom “All in the Family.”

But this isn’t a comedy show, and holiday conflict with family is something that could arise. One offhand remark could set off another guest. Add alcohol into the mix, and tempers flare. Some people thrive on debating hot topics — religion, politics, sports, the COVID-19 pandemic — while others want to hide inside their Christmas stockings and wait for the holiday hostility to end.

If you want to avoid tension during the holidays, there are some strategies you can try, said Carrie Krawiec, a licensed marriage counselor and family therapist from the Birmingham Maple Clinic.

“There are people who are conflict prone and some who are conflict avoidance,”

Krawiec said. “You can only control your behavior.”

One way to cut down on the disharmony is to ask your guests to wait until after dinner to hold a heated discussion or tell them politely not to debate around the children present. Going into the garage to continue a tense conversation is another option.

Also, think about the way your comments might come across to others, and remember that people have their own beliefs, values and opinions that might not align with yours.

During holiday visits, there are different family roles, too, that play into the dynamics of the get-together.

“There’s the class clown, the people pleaser, the black sheep and the know-it-all,” Krawiec said. “They invoke different reactions for different reasons.”

Bringing up the past can be a pleasant experience for some, but it also can bring up bad memories.

“Memories and traditions may be different,” Krawiec. “One family member might remember something fondly, and others not so much. That could cause us to question ourselves.”

However, conflict is not always “a bad thing,” Krawiec said. It can sometimes make the conversation more interesting or get peo-

ple to look at situations in a different way.

“Sometimes I like to hear people’s thoughts,” she said. “It can be very invigorating.”

But if the atmosphere gets too heated, take a few minutes for yourself, Krawiec suggested, such as a visit to the bathroom, moving into another room or taking a walk around the block “to let the moment pass.” Deep breathing can also calm a person’s nerves.

If you feel like you might need to leave altogether, should tension arise, figure out a code word ahead of time with family. Say the code word to your spouse and children in an unassuming way so they know it’s time to leave.

There are also individuals who feel social anxiety when invited to parties.

Krawiec said that “it’s very common” to feel anxious when going to someone’s house where you don’t know anyone. One suggestion is to try to meet someone who will be at the gathering beforehand. Or plan on just staying for a while and not all night if you feel uncomfortable.

“You can stay if it’s pleasant enough,” Krawiec said. “It’s an opportunity for you to get out if you’re alone for the holidays.

Someone cared about you enough to include you.”

Management Program grant, trustees approved consulting firm Wade Trim to complete and submit the grant application at a cost of $3,000.

Water meter bonding resolution

As a way to offset the cost of replacing water meter readers in the township, trustees passed a resolution of intent to issue up to $1.6 million in capital improvement bonds and to fulfill any reimbursement obligations of the bonds.

“Really, this allows us to pre-spend money and pay ourselves back in the event we don’t sell bonds in time when the bill comes due from the contractor,” Harrison Township Clerk Adam Wit said.

The township plans to use the bonds to cover half of the costs while covering the rest with township funds. While Verkest says the township could cover it all with the fund balance, using bonds saves fund balance money for any emergencies that occur during the meter reader replacement process.

Facilities development concept

a concept plan for changes to the township’s headquarters between Townhall and Lanse Creuse streets.

Based on the findings of a study made by engineering firm Wakely Associates, which the board commissioned last July, the plan calls for demolishing the current township hall administration building and expanding the engineering building by 11,000 square feet to house the township government and administration.

Wakely Associates will make preliminary designs for the project for $7,200.

ARPA fund transfer

On Nov. 13, trustees approved moving $1 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds into the township’s general fund.

Verkest said the funds would replenish revenues lost during the COVID-19 pandemic while allowing the township to use the funds without needing to report every use to the federal government.

Revenue replacement is one of four intended uses of ARPA funds, with the other uses being COVID-19 recovery funding for businesses and residents, paying workers, and improving infrastructure.

t isn’t the holidays until Main Street in Rochester shines with a light display that puts Clark Griswold’s house from “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” to shame.

This year, downtown Rochester was slated to officially transform into a glimmering spectacle when the Big, Bright Light Show switch was flipped Monday, Nov. 20, during the 50th annual Lagniappe event.

At 6 p.m. on East Fourth Street, the Big, Bright Light Show program was slated to begin with help from Rochester See LIGHT SHOW on page 13A

The 18th annual Big, Bright Light Show will be set aglow with 15 colors of LED lights.

The lights are a huge attraction, according to Kristi Trevarrow, the executive director of the Rochester Downtown Development Authority.

“Especially coming into our 18th year of Big, Bright, it’s less of an event and more of a tradition. It’s always part of the holiday conversation: ‘When are we going to see the lights?’” Trevarrow said. “Everybody always wants to come see the lights because your holidays wouldn’t be complete without that

trip, and we appreciate that people have made us a part of their holidays. That is amazing to us. We have always said we are in the memory-making business, and I think that the Big, Bright Light Show is at the pinnacle of that.”

The Big, Bright Light Show, the largest event hosted by downtown Rochester, will continue to run 5 p.m.-midnight through Jan. 21.

“The lights are a great excuse to come out with your family, grab a hot cocoa, do a little holiday shopping, and just get your Christmas spirit on,” said Trevarrow.

Salvation Army seeks bell-ringers for holidays

BY BRENDAN LOSINSKI blosinski@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — The holiday season is upon us, and that means that the sound of Salvation Army bell-ringers won’t be far behind.

The Salvation Army of Metro Detroit is seeking volunteer bell-ringers for the 2023 Red Kettle Christmas Campaign. The nonprofit requests the community’s support to help meet its $7.9 million fundraising goal.

Each year, thousands of collection buckets are positioned in and around businesses to raise funds for those in need — and each is accompanied by The Salvation Army’s signature bell-ringers. The organization hopes to fill more than 50,000 hours of bell-ringing shifts across hundreds of kettle locations throughout Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.

Individuals and families can sign up as

volunteer bell-ringers by visiting www.registertoring.com, where they have an option to choose a traditional, two-hour session at a physical red kettle site or participate in a virtual bell-ringing shift where they can raise funds in the comfort of their own home.

Virtual bell-ringers can sign up and begin raising funds at any time, whereas traditional bell-ringing begins on Friday, Nov. 10, and runs through Christmas Eve, excluding Thanksgiving and Sundays.

“Our volunteer bell-ringers are the unsung heroes of the holiday season, making the season brighter for those in need across metro Detroit,” Maj. Toni Dorrell, general secretary and metro Detroit area commander, said in a press release. “Our volunteers transform an unmanned kettle into one that raises the funds needed to meet the goal of the Christmas campaign.”

MOUNT CLEMENS SELECTS NEW FIRE CHIEF

BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

MOUNT CLEMENS — Gregg Shipman has worn the titles of city manager and chief of the Mount Clemens Fire Department for over a year, but his time as the fire chief has now come to an end.

The Mount Clemens City Commission voted to hire Danny Reynolds as the new chief at its Nov. 6 meeting, giving the city’s Fire Department its first dedicated leadership since Shipman became interim city manager in June 2022 and hired into the role full-time in June 2023.

“It will definitely take a lot of the burden off of the city manager’s office,” Shipman said. “Trying to do both positions really is too much.”

Luckily for Mount Clemens, the hiring of Reynolds means one fire service veteran will be replaced by another.

“He’s got 27 years in the fire service, six of those as fire chief,” Shipman said. “He had been the fire chief in Taylor. He was also the fire chief in Armada. He ran the Macomb Community College fire training program and he also worked for the state Bureau of Fire Services. He was working directly for the state fire marshal as the regional training coordinator for Wayne County.”

Shipman believes Reynolds will be the first Mount Clemens Fire Department chief to come from outside the department.

“He’s got a long history in the fire service and experience in a lot of different areas, and he knows our department very well,” Shipman said. “He knows the people, and I think having someone come in from the outside with that kind of experience will actually be a benefit in a

lot of situations. I think Dan’s going to do a great job for us.”

Reynolds will be paid a salary of $75,000 and begins serving on Monday, Nov. 27.

“The commission was impressed with the amount of experience and knowledge Reynolds brings to the table, and we’re excited for him to bring a different perspective to the fire station,” said Mount Clemens Mayor Laura Kropp.

GLWA connection amendments

On Nov. 6, commissioners also approved amendments to Fishbeck Engineering’s contract for designing the city’s connection to the Great Lakes Water Authority’s system. The amendments change the billing method from an hourly rate to a percentage of the final project.

The amendment is the latest development in the city’s project to join the GLWA system. Administrative steps began in December 2022, and the city is working to meet a timeline set by the state’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund low-interest loan terms.

“We have to obtain permits from (the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy) in January 2024. We have to go out to bid by the end of April 2024, and then we expect to begin construction in September 2024,” Shipman said. “It’s a pretty steep schedule that the DWSRF has. This is a really big project and we’ve got a very narrow window as far as the timeline, but it looks like we’re on schedule and we should be able to meet all of the deadlines without any issues at this point.”

As the work of connecting to the GLWA system goes on, the city See CHIEF on page 17A

Danny Reynolds is the new chief of the Mount Clemens Fire Department.

He begins his post on Nov. 17.

from page 3A

With the township completing the resolution to establish the district, a process is underway to clarify the list of affected properties is correct, to bid out the project in order to determine the cost, and to hold two public hearings in order for affected residents to voice their concerns and opinions on the process. The first public hearing will be held at the Clinton Township Board of Trustees meeting on Monday, Dec. 4.

Trustees also handled cost-sharing agreements with several bodies for road projects. To improve 18 Mile Road between Hayes Road and the dead end at the Tomlinson Arboretum, the township will cover 60% of the costs at $2.15 million while the county will cover 40%.

The Moravian Road improvement project between Hayes Road and Garfield Road, which was approved at the last meeting, underwent a cost decrease of $248,000. The new cost of Clinton Township’s 20% share is $1.152 million compared to the original cost of $1.4 million. Sterling Heights is covering 30% of the project costs while the county is covering 50%.

Webster Park playground

Trustees awarded the contract to replace the playground equipment at Webster Park with new equipment to GameTime of Holland, Michigan for just under $100,000.

Community Development Block Grant Funds will pay for the new equipment.

Clinton Township Trustee Mike Keys supported the project, though he said he wanted to see more from it than a conven-

tional playground and swing set. Public Services Director Mary Bednar said that was not feasible with the allocated funds.

“This is a small, pocket park that is really a neighborhood park,” Bednar said.

“The people that we see in the park are 5-to12-year-olds, so this meets those needs for the pocket park. Not too far (away) is Normandy (Park), which has a bigger layout.”

A concrete cornhole setup is being installed on the other side of Webster Street as part of the Webster Park complex.

Veterans month

With Veterans Day falling on Nov. 11, the Clinton Township Board of Trustees took the step of designating the month of November as Veterans and Military Families Month.

Submitted by Township Trustee Tammy Patton, a U.S. Army veteran, the goal of the resolution is raising awareness of issues facing veterans and their families including homelessness, mental health, military sexual trauma, substance abuse and suicide.

“Many veterans feel invisible,” Patton said. “They don’t have a voice; they don’t have a platform and they have gone ignored.

It is important to recognize and support veterans as they transition back into civilian life and provide them with all available resources and assistance they may need.”

Patton was joined by several local veterans in displaying a flag with the seals of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard and Space Force, which will remain in the meeting room for the rest of November. The flag was purchased by Patton.

University, said that while “it’s not always possible,” the party host can provide a gentle reminder of the norms and expectations.

“They can do it in a light and fun way,” Leander said. “You don’t want people to feel controlled. If the host is not able to set norms and expectations, recognize your own boundaries and limits. Just because someone says something does not mean we need to react. Don’t take the bait. You can only control your responses. Sometimes silence is the right response.”

Other guests not involved in a tense conversation also could take on the role of peacemaker.

“Bystanders have the power to disrupt the flow of the conversation,” Leander said.

“If you see it getting uncomfortable, ask, ‘Can you guys talk after dinner or at another time?’ This signals to them this is not the time or place. Other people might be relieved as well.”

Leander pointed out that holiday get-

“We are living in a very modern communication environment. People have a way of interacting all year round. Everyone already knows what everyone is doing. It’s not how it was 20 or 30 years ago when we used to see each other once a year,” he said.

“People say harmful things online and you see them at the holidays. They feel this is their chance to push back.”

If you find yourself getting worked up, take a 10-second break.

“Your mind and body will coordinate and be OK again,” Leander said.

Leander suggested writing down ideas of what to talk about when visiting with family and friends.

“Make a list of what would be nice to know about them and what people are excited about. That will let them speak,” Leander said. “They’ll find the conversation more meaningful. It does take effort from everyone. If a conflict occurs, ask a new question.”

“We know that it definitely has to help some of the businesses downtown. It’s tough to gauge exactly to what level that it’s helping, and it’s also tough to gauge exactly how much revenue the city is losing by offering free parking,” Shipman said. “We know it costs us some money and we know it’s helping.”

From Nov. 17 to Jan. 1, all Mount Clemens visitors can experience free parking after 3 p.m.

istration/management. It was in Tennessee where Evans got her first taste of teaching by becoming a soccer coach.

“When I was growing up, soccer was always my biggest passion,” Evans said. “The coaches in my life — and some of them were teachers at my school — they always had the biggest impact in my life, my coaches and my teachers. If I could go back and look at who I am today, besides my parents and my family, (teachers and coaches) had the biggest impact on me.”

Evans coached at her master’s degree alma mater and then at Belmont University in Nashville, but over time she felt called back to Michigan. She returned to Michigan and joined MSU Extension in Detroit in 2014 to teach nutrition and physical education before becoming a supervisor.

Evans did her share of in-the-field

of their mobile phone, smartwatch, or any credit card set up for contactless payments.

To help raise awareness and encourage the community to donate, the nonprofit is once again partnering with Scott Wolffis, the president and CEO of Commercial Alliance, as the 2023 Red Kettle Christmas chairman. Wolffis, who has served on The Salvation Army’s Metro Detroit Advisory Board for more than 15 years, will serve as the public face of the fundraising campaign for the second consecutive year to help the nonprofit meet its $7.9 million fundraising goal.

“After the Christmas lights come down

and the ornaments are packed away, the need in our community persists. Donations made during the Red Kettle Christmas Campaign help support The Salvation Army’s critical social and community programs that many families and individuals rely on all year long,” Wolffis said in a press release. “It is my pleasure to partner with The Salvation Army again this year and do my part in helping my neighbors in need. I look forward to the continued partnership between Commercial Alliance and The Salvation Army and the positive impact this relationship will have on our community.”

Dorrell said that such funds are more

important than ever.

“With the rising cost of living, economic insecurity and inflation, families in metro Detroit are facing financial uncertainty.

Some may lack proper shelter, a warm meal or may even be choosing between paying rent and buying presents this Christmas,” Dorrell wrote. “We owe it to our neighbors in need to come together and lend a helping hand when times get tough. When you give to The Salvation Army, your donation makes it possible for us to help our community’s most vulnerable 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.”

teaching for MSU Extension but found herself better suited for the administrative side of her work, making connections between people and coaching people to be their best.

“How can I take a team and optimize their strengths and make it so we’re impacting every part of the community that we need to be in the best route,” Evans said.

“That’s one of my favorite parts of coaching a group, seeing how a team can come together and everybody being as impactful as they possibly can.”

It’s on the strength of this administrative passion that Evans found herself becoming the new District 11 North director. Though still in the early days of her time in the position and still getting her bearings about what’s going on around the district, Evans’ chief goal as director is to get the word out about all MSU Extension’s myriad services.

“It’s a joke at MSU Extension that we’re the best kept secret in Michigan because once people find out about us, they go, ‘How did I not know about all these ser-

vices and these great things you guys do?’”

Evans said. “One of the things I want to do is show both counties how much education we have, how many opportunities we have, how much, even as an adult, you can still learn.

We have affordable classes for everyone on so many different topics.”

More information about the MSU Extension can be found at canr.msu.edu/ outreach. Evans is always looking for new ways to serve communities in Oakland and Macomb counties, and ideas for new classes, programs and services can be sent to evan skr1@msu.edu.

Armed man reported at park

GROSSE POINTE PARK — Police were called to Patterson Park at around 4:20 p.m. Oct. 28 after a man was said to have been seen in the parking lot with a handgun. When officers got there, they said they found the suspect alone in his vehicle with the gun.

According to a report, the man was intoxicated.

Police said they arrested the man — a 67-year-old from Grosse Pointe Park — and secured his weapon without incident. The suspect could be facing a charge of possession of a firearm while intoxicated, police said.

Vehicle with medical equipment stolen

GROSSE POINTE WOODS — An unknown suspect is said to have stolen a doctor’s vehicle while it was parked in the north lot of Ascension St. John Hospital between the hours of 6:15 a.m. and 4:40 p.m. Oct. 20. Besides the vehicle, the suspect got away with the victim’s wallet and an estimated $40,000 worth of equipment used for surgeries, according to a police report.

Resident reports phone harassment

GROSSE POINTE SHORES — A 46-year-old Grosse Pointe Shores woman filed a report with police Oct. 19 after she said she got a series of calls and texts from an unknown person starting at 5 p.m. Oct. 18 from a phone number with a 248 area code. The victim told police she let all the calls go to voicemail, but the caller never left her a message.

After the calls, she said the person texted her from the same number at 7:45 p.m. Oct. 18. The message referred to the victim by an expletive and warned her to watch her back because the suspect knew “where you live in Grosse Pointe,” according to a police report.

The victim said her husband blocked Caller ID and tried to call the suspect himself, but although the caller answered the phone twice, the caller never said anything. The victim told police she didn’t know who or why anyone might be angry with her. The case was turned over to the detective bureau for further investigation.

Fraud reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 11:17 a.m. on Oct. 24, a fraud report was made after an incident that occurred on Oct. 23 in the 27000 block of Little Mack Avenue.

Upon arrival, an officer was met by the manager of the business, a 27-year-old woman, who showed the officer video footage. The footage started at 9:25 p.m. on Oct. 24 and showed the suspect, an unknown man. The suspect is shown walking up to the counter and buying an item. He can be seen pulling money out of his pocket and paying for the item.

According to the manager, the suspect told the clerk he wanted $500 on a Cash App card. He pulled money out of a different pocket and paid for it. The suspect reportedly bought two $500 gift cards using money from the same pocket. The footage does not show the suspect vehicle. The manager stated they were scammed out of $1,500 but the amount of counterfeit bills given to the officer totaled $1,560.

The counterfeit bills were all $20 bills.

Fraud reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 2:56 p.m. on Oct. 19, a fraud report was made after an incident that occurred on the same day in the 27000 block of Jefferson Avenue.

At the stated time on that date, the victim, a 58-year-old woman, walked into the police department to make a report. She stated she answered a Facebook ad to complete a survey for Walmart and receive money. The woman said a few days later, she received a check in the mail for $1,570.32 and began receiving text messages from a phone number instructing her to cash the check and send gift cards.

The woman then went to a bank to cash the check and was notified that it was fraudulent. The woman did not send any gift cards and she did not lose any money.

Women arrested for Kohl’s shoplifting incident

STERLING HEIGHTS — Police reportedly went to Kohl’s, 44200 Schoenherr Road, Oct. 21 upon hearing that shoplifting was occurring. According to store staff, three women were putting items in bags while in the men’s section and then they allegedly took some bags full of merchandise out of the store without paying for it.

The women had exited the store’s eastern doors and entered a Chevrolet sedan, and an officer reportedly spotted the vehicle taking off. Police said they tried to initiate a traffic stop, but the vehicle allegedly tried to get away, driving through a stop sign in the process.

After a brief police pursuit, all three suspects reportedly exited the car. Police said they chased and arrested the trio, at one point reportedly using a stun gun in the process.

Police retrieved the merchandise, valued at $1,130.25, from the car and a suspect’s purse and gave it back to Kohl’s.
