MACOMB TOWNSHIP — In a township hall meeting room adorned with Halloween paraphernalia on Oct. 25, the Macomb Township Board of Trustees gave two incoming businesses the treat they desperately needed.

Trustees approved Class-C liquor licenses for Sonjeow Holdings, LLC at 48864 Romeo Plank and for Bee Tee Golf Course, Inc. at 22871 21 Mile Road.

“This is a two-step process,” said Charles Pierce, the township’s records manager. “This is the first part of the application process.”

Bridge Michigan

LANSING — Members of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s population growth council may recommend plans that include tax increases to fund schools, roads and local governments, according to newly public reports.

The reports were shielded from public view earlier this month when work groups reported vague recommendations to the Growing Michigan Together Council, a bipartisan panel appointed by Whitmer in a bid to find ways to boost the state’s stagnant population.

The council published the work group Whitmer reports online after Bridge Michigan filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the documents.

One report shows a PreK-12 Policy work group is recommending the council study how much funding schools need, “including potential revenue generation realized by modifying current taxation and budgeting practices.”

Another work group is recommending a change in property tax law that would allow local governments to raise rates more quickly as property values increase, while others raise the possibility of “broaden(ed) funding sources” for roads.

The report does not mention any specific tax increases, See TAX HIKES on page 24A

VOLUNTEERS SOUGHT TO GIVE OTHERS A MERRIER CHRISTMAS

METRO DETROIT — The Salvation Army of Metro Detroit is seeking volunteer bell ringers for the 2023 Red Kettle Christmas Campaign. Shifts are available in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Counties.

Individuals and families can sign up for two-hour sessions in person at a red kettle site, or participate in a virtual bell ringing shift from home online.

To register, visit registertoring.com. Virtual bell ringers can sign up and begin raising funds at any time. The traditional bell ringing begins Nov. 10 and runs through Christmas Eve, excluding Thanksgiving and Sundays.

The Salvation Army provides after-school programs, food, shelter, emergency disaster services, substance abuse treatment and free legal aid for families and individuals throughout metro Detroit. Donations from the red kettle campaign help fund those programs.

To support the nonprofit organization through a monetary donation, visit SAmetrodetroit.org.

MACOMB COUNTY — From Monday, Oct. 30, to Friday, Nov. 3, the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office set out on an enforcement initiative aiming to reduce pedestrian injuries and fatalities on county roads and raise awareness about the safety of vulnerable road users.

“Between 2018-2022 Macomb County had 60 Pedestrian deaths and was ranked No. 3 in State fatalities,” Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham said in a press release. “It is not only important to enforce our pedestrian safety laws; we must also educate drivers and pedestrians about the laws.”

During the weeklong enforcement period, officers focused on laws applying to pedestrian safety such as failing to yield for pedestrians in a crosswalk or failing to stop at a signal or sign before a crosswalk. Pedestrian-centered laws officers focused on include not using a sidewalk when available, not crossing streets at intersections and not walking facing traffic.

ROADS DEPARTMENT ASKS RESIDENTS TO SHAKE MAILBOXES MACOMB COUNTY — The Macomb County Department of Roads is asking residents to make sure their mailboxes are winter-ready by shaking them down in the fall.

The location, stability and durability of a mailbox matters when plow trucks shower it with snow this winter. Making sure your mailbox is in solid condition means it is more likely to withstand the cold months.

If you have questions regarding mailbox maintenance, please call the Macomb County Department of Roads at (586) 463-8671 or email geninfo@ rcmcweb.org.

pest, Hungary, or in the spring of this year, when he took silver at the 2023 European World Championships in Croatia.

Through all of his travels around the world and facing different wrestling opponents and styles, Amine’s heart was back at home on Oct. 28, where he led a high school wrestling camp at Fraser High School.

“My dad grew up in Warren, Michigan, and in this area,” Amine said. “We consider ourselves a family of the state of Michigan wrestling. As far as my allegiance goes, obviously I’m a (Detroit) Catholic Central alumni, but the older I get, I realize how much I love wrestling in the state of Michigan. I kind of consider myself an ambassador for the entire state. I like to give back to any program, especially if it’s the state of Michigan.”

A 2015 Catholic Central graduate, fivetime all American, and two-time Big Ten champion at Michigan, Amine’s family tree of wrestling was born and raised in metro Detroit. His father, Mike Amine, and his uncle, Sam Amine, were both standout athletes at Warren’s Lincoln High School, and both went on to wrestle at Michigan.

Being not only a homegrown talent but also a decorated wrestler, Amine command-

ed the attention of a room of 170 attendees in the Fraser gym.

The camp, which was run by Fraser coaches Richard Julien and Kyle Tucker, was held in conjunction with the United States Marine Corps and the USMC Sports Leadership Academy, which holds various sports camps around the nation.

Attendees were split into two groups headlined by Amine and Marine Corps Team USA wrestler, Capt. Terrence Zaleski.

Zaleski’s group worked on everything from leadership qualities to conditioning and team bonding drills while Amine’s group got an in-depth look at the skill set of an Olympic wrestler.

“I show a lot of the stuff that I’m hitting at the highest level,” Amine said. “I think that’s something I’ve always prided myself on that when I come to a camp, I don’t show them a bunch of bologna. I want to show them the stuff that’s worked for me.”

The USMC reported that this was the second-largest wrestling camp they hosted this year behind their camp in Los Angeles, and high schools from all over the metro Detroit area came out strong.

From Warren Woods Tower and Macomb Dakota to Birmingham Groves and Roseville, the state of Michigan was well represented.

Lighting is essential for the ambiance of a home

L

ighting not only affects the ambiance of a home; it also affects the people inside.

“It is incredible how that can affect your mood, you can create a mood, and really, really good lighting can actually make people feel more attractive,” said Caroline Kerfoot, art director and creative team manager at Regina Andrew Design in Wyandotte.

According to Kerfoot, lighting with warmer tones, which appear more yellow, can make people feel much happier than early morning light, which can appear more blue, and overhead tube lighting in an office, which can appear more green and blue.

“It’s pretty cool. I’ve learned so much from working at Regina Andrew about lighting and it’s just like sort of subconscious effects, and I think that it’s really important going into winter where we’re inside so much and you don’t get as much daylight. So you want to make your space as comfortable as possible as well as your guests coming over on the holidays,” said Kerfoot. “I can even tell you firsthand that incorporating cool lighting that you love, that gives off the right amount of light and creates that ambiance that makes your (day-to-day) living comfortable — it just makes such a big difference.”

Michelle Pergeau-Dudgeon, program coordinator for the associate in applied science in interior design at Oakland Community College, has over a decade of experience in the field of lighting, including working in multiple lighting showrooms, and is certified with the American Lighting Association as a lighting specialist.

“I began in (lighting) because I have a bachelor’s in interior design and I found that lighting was so powerful of an impact that I started pursuing the showrooms to work in residential lighting,” said Pergeau-Dudgeon. “If

a room isn’t properly lit, all the other (design) decisions that you made won’t come into fruition.”

She said that if you spend a lot of time selecting the colors for your rooms and then don’t have good bright lighting at night, the color is going to appear darker than what you had anticipated. She said this can cause a room to feel dark and gloomy, especially if the color is originally part of a darker palette. Lighting can also help to make a space feel larger. To make a space feel larger, you can illuminate a surface, such as a wall or ceiling.

According to Pergeau-Dudgeon, homeowners should have a series of plans for their home lighting, including room measurements and ceiling heights. She said to also notate architectural features such as windows and cabinetry, which can impact not only what you want to light, but also how you have to light the space.

Kerfoot said the best way to provide effective lighting in a home is with layered lighting.

“Layered lighting uses multiple light sources to create the look and light quality you want in a room,” said Kerfoot.

This includes general or ambient, task, and accent lighting, as well as natural light. Ambient lighting is the primary lighting source, which is spread evenly throughout each room and often creates the mood. Task lighting provides focused light for specific activities in each room, such as a study lamp, vanity light or a light over the kitchen stove. Accent lighting draws attention to a particular object, such as a painting, sculpture, plant or bookcase.

“I’m sure you’ve walked into a room and the light just, like, blasts and it’s really bright and it’s kind of uncomfortable-feeling. That’s not what you want in your home. So, by layering soft lighting and by being very strategic, that’s how you can create, like, a whole mood

The first part of obtaining a liquor license is to complete a prequalification form with a $500 fee. The second part of the process involves submitting a formal application after township board approval of the prequalification application.

The Sonjeow Holdings application caught the particular interest of trustee Frank Cusumano, who was excited by the concept for the restaurant, Travel Agents: Cocktails & Conversations.

“They intend to make it almost like a speakeasy with a front facade on the building,” Cusumano said. “The initial entrance is a travel agency, but then you’re invited through a side door and it’s actually a lounge serving alcohol. I thought it was a neat addition to our community.”

Bee Tee Golf Course will expand upon its existing golf course operations with the addition of a liquor license. The public golf course snakes around the North Branch Clinton River and is one of four courses along North Avenue between 21 Mile and 23 Mile roads.

DPW work

0047-2343

The famous call of Halloween is “trick or treat,” and unfortunately, the Deerfield Park East subdivision was struck with the dubious trick of a failing storm sewer last month.

The Macomb Township Department of Public Works was able to replace the 12-inch concrete pipe for $9,019, the cost being covered by each of the neighborhood’s 66 homes.

Rogue Industrial Services was awarded a $288,395 “treat” to perform CCTV examination and cleaning of the township’s sewers. Nine companies placed bids for the work with four of the bidders being further interviewed. Rogue Industrial Services had the secondlowest bid and the highest-performing interview.

“The lowest bid, Champion (Cleaning Specialists), we were concerned about some of their methods, mainly that they wanted to use AI, or artificial intelligence, as a part of their process,” said Macomb Township DPW Director Kevin Johnson. “That garnered almost four times more footage in a day compared to the rest of the bids that were out there. It gives us pause because it’s not well-known how that type of technology works. We want to vet the AI process first before we decide we want to move forward with that.”

The township worked with Rogue last year, which performed to last year’s budgeted work as expected.

Finally, the DPW increased its department fees for all of its work. The fees have not been updated in 20 years.

For sewer and pipe work, the prior rates ranged from $325 to $815 for meter fees on pipes ranging from 0.75 inches to 2 inches, with no set amounts for pipes larger than that.

The new rates increase the meter fees, add connection fees and include set costs for up to 12-inch pipes. The sewer benefit fee, water main benefit fee, wastewater benefit fee and water system benefit fee remain at $65, $45, $850 and $450, respectively.

Other fees that saw an increase include the 2-inch hydrant meter deposit ($500 to $1,300), hydrant relocation ($1,500 to $4,900), meter head fee ($95 to $200), discontinuing water service fee ($25 to $100) and the grade bond ($2,000 to $5,000).

“We are seeing an increase of women in technology, and we want to encourage that,” said Suzy Siegle, the president of Walsh College.

According to Siegle, the majority of female students are going into the fields of accounting, marketing and management. Oakland University said they are seeing an increase in women enrolling in the areas of accounting, human resource management and operations management.

“I would say in the areas of marketing, definitely in management, in the MBA (Master of Business Administration) we are seeing a lot of women business folks who are interested in that,” Siegle said, “We have a great doctoral

Somers, the associate dean and a professor of management and information systems at the Wayne State University Mike Ilitch School of Business. “Today, in our business school, at least 50% are women.

This parallels nationally the rise of women in executive positions and on boards of directors of both Michigan and U.S. corporations. While traditionally there have been fewer women than men in analytics, finance and technology studies, presence is growing in these fields as well.”

Domestic violence survivor is on a ‘Quest’ to help others

BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

Grosse Pointe Farms resident Tracey Booker holds a copy of her book, “In the Quest for Love,” which explores the issue of domestic violence.

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — From her secret hiding spot inside a cabinet, a young Tracey Booker watched in horror as her stepfather smashed a frying pan against her mother’s head.

It’s one of the searing memories she recounts in her first book, “In the Quest for Love.” Written in third person, the book recounts domestic violence experienced by Booker, her mother and some of Booker’s friends. Booker — who eventually broke free of this cycle — penned the tome as part of her healing process, and hopes it will inspire others as well. “In the Quest for Love” was published in March 2023.

“My goal is to heal people,” said Booker, 45, who lives in Grosse Pointe Farms with her son. “People need to talk about it.

It’s a part of my healing as well.”

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. State leaders say as many as one in three Michigan families experience domestic violence.

Booker, who grew up on Detroit’s east side, said the trauma of witnessing her mother’s abuse led her to seek love from men who ended up abusing her as well.

“He was always nice to us,” Booker said of her stepfather’s treatment of her and her siblings. “It was confusing to have love for him and my mom in one setting. And because she kept taking him back, I didn’t know how to act.”

Through journaling, massage and reiki therapy, Booker began to see that her relationships weren’t healthy. She started going

to church again and found strength in her faith and reading the Bible. “In the Quest for Love” includes relevant Bible quotes in each chapter.

“I had to learn to love myself over time and stand up to a bully,” said Booker, who has become an ordained minister and hopes to offer counseling to other victims. “I started working on self. I realized, it’s a me problem. … I can’t fix him — I can only fix me.”

Booker said she’s “not pushing religion” on anyone.

“What worked for me could work for other women,” Booker said. “I’m not forcing anything down anybody’s throat. I am saying, ‘Here’s a road map.’ You can tweak it any way you want.”

After 25 years in the mortgage industry, Booker now manages a time-share company and also works in the catering industry.

She’ll complete her bachelor’s degree in business and leadership in May. “I’m finally doing me,” Booker said. “I want my son to see (this).”

She’s proud of her 23-year-old daughter, who’s already a college graduate. She included her children in the dedication for “In the Quest for Love.”

Booker, who previously lived in a different city, doesn’t have much trust in the criminal justice system, which she said failed her and her mother.

“The court system is not going to help you,” Booker said.

“We are living in a time when you don’t get help unless you’re on your deathbed.”

when people come over or just for yourself throughout the winter and spring (when there is less daylight),” Kerfoot said.

Pergeau-Dudgeon said it is important to know what temperature on the Kelvin scale you want your lightbulbs. The Kelvin scale measures how warm or cold the bulb appears. An orange color is generally around 2,500-2,700 on the Kelvin scale. A light source that is whiter is around a 3,000 to 3,500 Kelvin temperature.

Sometimes people want to simulate true daylight, which a bulb that is 5,000 Kelvin is supposed to do, but the color temperature when you look at it is really blueish and not usually favored in the residential setting, she said.

“You want to pay attention to creating a well-balanced lighting plan and noticing the color temperature of the lights that you would prefer and keeping it consistent throughout the house,” said Pergeau-Dudgeon. “You don’t want one lamp on one side of the room to be this 2,700 Kelvin and then you go over to the other side and it’s 5,000 Kelvin, so one looks blue and one looks orange.”

Well-designed lighting blends in naturally with the room design.

“In my opinion, the best lighting plans are the ones where you never even think about the lighting. It’s just there,” said Pergeau-Dudgeon.

Pergeau-Dudgeon said research shows that having a well-lit home is beneficial in preventing or coping with seasonal affective disorder. She said that many light fixtures now have settings to change the color of the LED bulbs according to the time of day.

This is called tunable lighting, and PergeauDudgeon said it was a big deal at the ALA conference this year.

She said that warm lighting helps to stimulate happier moods and conversations.

She said another thing to consider is circadian rhythm. She said that, after 10 p.m., she has it on her phone that the light goes down to around 1,800 Kelvin, because you don’t want to be exposed to blue light sources, which are 3,000 and upward on the Kelvin scale, after around that time. People working at night would want to make sure they stay on an internal human clock and are only exposed to red light at night.

“I think that having a softer light source in your home and creating a more comfortable space is immediately going to put you at ease, and so when you’re comfortable, you’re

going to be a lot less stressed out,” said Kerfoot. “I think that stress is a pretty big factor in mental health. I’m not a psychologist or a psychiatrist, but your general comfort level in your living space is super important to your overall stress level and general happiness.”

“If you have really bright light sources, pretty much anything can be put on a dimmer, and that can help you with the various occupants, because some people might like it really bright in the room, others may not,” said Pergeau-Dudgeon.

She said one of the biggest mistakes people make when lighting a room is to not use under-cabinet lighting. She said that it might save money to avoid the under-cabinet lighting, but by failing to use it, an expensive backsplash will look dark and unattractive.

Wrestling from page 6A

Photo by Patricia O’Blenes

Former University of Michigan wrestler and Olympic medalist Myles Amine demonstrates a move during the wrestling camp.

“Macomb County is the biggest wrestling conference in the state of Michigan,” Tower assistant coach Michael Milunovich said. “We have 35 teams broken into five different conferences, so you’re seeing a lot of people from around the conference. You got Romeo here and Fraser, who hosted it and did a great job. I’ve seen Roseville kids here and obviously Tower kids.

I’ve seen kids from about 10 different schools, so it’s definitely a good event.”

Milunovich and the Amine family go way back as Milunovich, a Lincoln graduate, won a Class A wrestling state title at Lincoln under head coach Sam Amine, Myles’ uncle. Tucker, an assistant coach for Fraser wrestling, also wrestled for Sam Amine at Lincoln.

It goes to show the kind of brotherhood the sport of wrestling can be, and Myles Amine assumed the big brother role at the camp as he spoke to the young wrestlers who were homed in on each word he said.

“I think it inspires kids that he only really did good his junior and senior year in high school, and it’s just nice to see how these Olympic people wrestle because you think, ‘Oh, I’m this such good kid,’ and then you see the struggle some people go through to get where they’re at,” Fraser junior wrestler Draven McAllister said.

Along with top-level instructors, attendees also received shirts, breakfast and Chick-fil-A for lunch.

After seeing the response, it’s safe to say this kind of event will be prioritized in the future for wrestling in Macomb County.

“You just look at what we’re looking at now with almost 200 kids here,” Amine said. “I think they were saying that events they’ve been doing for over five years around the country haven’t gotten this kind of turnout. It just shows that wrestling in metro Detroit and this area of Macomb County has been strong for a long time and is not fading away. It’s only getting stronger.”

College of Business and IT at Lawrence Technological University, said the school can prepare women to pursue a wide range of career paths, such as accounting, finance, marketing, analytics, project management, general manager-types of positions, human resource positions, operations management, supply chain management, information technology, and even start a business.

“I think we need to do more to recruit women into our programs,” said Stavros.

Siegle said Walsh College does have a variety of ways in which it encourages women to go into the business industry. She said they have scholarship opportunities for women going into an emerging field, as well as opportunities through the school’s career services, such as “Lunch and Learn,” where female executives come and present to the students.

“There’s been a lot of great examples in our career fairs where we’ve seen amazing female leaders present,” Siegle said. “So they’re seeing great women in leadership.”

The school also offers flexible programs.

Siegle said this enables women, as well as men, to balance school, work, family and other obligations. She said that studies have shown that, especially for women in the workforce who do balance many different obligations, that flexible scheduling is very important to them. She said that the school offers instruction in a variety of ways, including in person, online and a hybrid format.

“That flexibility has been very important for our students so that they don’t have to compromise the quality they deserve for the flexibility they need,” said Siegle.

Tiffany LeDonne-Smith, a graduate of Oakland University and an advisor for the OU business program, founded a mentoring program for women in business. She said she noticed when she started working at the university in 2017 that there were many female students in the business program, but no support services for them specifically. After getting some feedback, LeDonne-Smith was able to determine that the students “overwhelmingly” wanted and needed both a student organization for women in business and a mentoring program.

In fall 2018, some students founded the student organization Women in Business, which is now one of the largest and most active student organizations in business on the campus today, according to LeDonneSmith. It offers programming on topics such as women in leadership, women in various business fields, sexual harassment in the work place, etc., and brings in guest speakers and alumni.

In January 2019 LeDonne-Smith launched the Women’s Leadership and Mentor Program, which pairs female undergraduate students with an alumna businesswoman to mentor them for a year.

“That program has really been phenomenal, because each student who is in the program is connected with someone who obviously works in the profession. … That’s been really great for our students,” said LeDonneSmith. “The program has just been great for students to have a professional connection, because they might not have someone in their personal life who works in that industry and I also think it’s just beneficial to have … women helping women through navigating that college to career transition.”

Siegle said Walsh College has a proud history of educating women and in shaping the college in the institution it is today. She boasted that the school’s faculty and administrative staff is at least 50% women.

“I look at business as a way to have contribution and impact in the world, and I think that as business has grown and become more global and more technologically savvy it’s more accessible and inclusive,” said Siegle.

“I’ve always seen women be very successful in business … but there’s such an incredible power that we have to make an impact in the world and to change and to be in contribution for that, and I think there’s a heart and soul for that. So, I think it’s a beautiful thing when you see a woman saying, ‘Well, I stepped in to fill a need in business.’ … So I think there’s problems that we see in the world that we want to help solve that maybe our unique and inclusive perspective can bring.”

She said women can add a “rich” dimension to leadership roles. Women can make contributions, lead teams and making an impact in a way that brings great empathy, generosity and understanding, Siegle said. According to Siegle, companies that have more diversity in their staffing compete better in the global business place.

Siegle said they are striving to get more women to take positions in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields, and Walsh is seeing an uptick in the number of women in STEM as they are growing their programs in cybersecurity and machine learning. Siegle said they are also looking to increase the number of women in entrepreneurship.

Women contribute substantially to entrepreneurship in the United States, according to the National Women’s Business Council. According to the council’s 2022 annual report, the number of women-owned businesses increased significantly in recent years. In 2019 there were 5.7 million employer businesses where women accounted for 1.2 million or 20.9% of those businesses, according to the NWBC report.

“You pick up Entrepreneur Magazine and you see Sarah Blakely, and you see other celebrities who have started companies, and you think, ‘Wow, that’s so cool to see that they saw a need in the world that wasn’t being field and they brought a unique perspective,’” said Siegle.

Walsh College is also looking at partnering with companies that have grant opportunities for minority- or women-owned businesses.

Siegle said that she recently gave a presentation to the society of human resources professionals and noted that there were more women than men there. She said it was prob-

ably about 70% women.

“There’s a creativity and an innovation that women have because of the experiences they’ve had that anybody from a different population would bring. So it’s really nice to see women saying, ‘Hey, maybe there’s a better way to try this,’ or ‘Have you thought about it from this angle?’ and that brings such rich diversity of creativity, and I also think with jobs being so accessible to commuting and to hybrid work it’s probably opened up a lot of things that may have been limitations before,” said Siegle.

Restaurant gears up for ’24 reopening

BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

HARRISON TOWNSHIP — Those who have lived along and visited Lake St. Clair’s coast are familiar with the name Gino’s Surf.

Perhaps they visited the original Lakeview Inn after a long day on the water, or maybe they were regular guests at the post1971 restaurant and event hall.

“It’s always been a cool place,” Harrison Township Supervisor Ken Verkest said. “It’s a beautiful location. I’ve attended a number of weddings and events there, and in later years the tiki bar was really certainly a popular spot on the right summer nights.”

In recent years, however, the name Gino’s Surf has recalled countless posts on local Facebook pages looking at the Jefferson Avenue property for any sign of life. After seven long years of waiting, those looking for another drink and dish at Gino’s will get their wish. The new management of Gino’s Surf aims to open in March 2024.

Leading the return of Gino’s Surf is Brian Jeffries, an eight-year resident of the township who first made his name spinning vinyl as DJ Godfather. Jeffries’ career steadily brought him up from DJ talent to promoter to venue operator. He is currently involved with several venues around Detroit including The Annex Detroit nightclub, Love & Tequila, 3Fifty Terrace and the Brass Rail pizza bar.

“What I love about being in (Harrison Township) is that I love how there are a lot of different places that have their own identity,” Jeffries said. “I’m such a fan of a lot of

restaurants in the area and I go to each restaurant for their own unique specialty, and we’re going to have our own identity as well.

I’m really excited to bring this concept and identity to the area because there is nothing like it.”

In order to make Gino’s Surf a unique spot on Lake St. Clair, Jeffries is pulling from his nightclub experience to create what he calls an “elevated sports bar” concept. The redesigned interior includes 48 television screens. A DJ booth will be added — which Jefferies plans to perform at — along with light show equipment to facilitate nightlife activities on weekends.

“It’s a whole completely different atmosphere,” Jeffries said. “Just the bells and whistles we’re putting in it … there’s not going to be anything like it on the lake. Coming from a nightclub background, I try to make my venues downtown have more production and more fun and wow factor than any of the other places downtown, and we’ve achieved that. So now my goal is to achieve a different, elevated experience on the lake that none of the other places offer.”

One of the more traditional aspects Jeffries plans to include is 20-30 slips to accommodate boaters looking to dine ashore.

The menu at the new Gino’s Surf will be overseen by executive chef Stewart Fox, owner of Detroit Catering Company and formerly Sugarr Donuts, in Woodhaven.

The banquet hall will also return, now operating under the name Vista Lago, which means “lake view” in Italian.

“We wanted to give the banquet hall its own identity,” Jeffries said. “It’s going to be very upscale — very classy.”

Jefferies initially got involved in the Gino’s Surf project around the time the new ownership group purchased the restaurant property about five years ago. Plans were made to open up around 2020, but COVID-19 work stoppages and the subsequent material shortages kept the restaurant closed for three more years.

“When you do a project the size of Gino’s there’s always going to be speed bumps,” Jeffries said. “If someone told you, ‘I’m going to build this from A to Z and be done with it in 10 months,’ they’re lying to you. They just don’t know. There’s always going to be speed bumps, no matter what you do.”

The long vacancy of the Gino’s Surf property created a number of issues with the building that had to be remedied before work could truly begin.

“I saw comments from people (saying), ‘The new owners haven’t done anything with this spot,’ and they have no clue how just from a structure standpoint and things you don’t see aesthetically, the things that we had to do just to get the place up to speed, just to remodel it,” Jeffries said.

Jeffries aims to have construction wrapped up by the holiday season and for staff training to begin in early 2024.

Pergeau-Dudgeon said good task lighting in the bathroom is “critical.”

“You want to make sure that when you have a full bath where you’re doing shaving, makeup, those kinds of hygienic activities, you want to make sure that you light your face or the occupant’s face from the side. You don’t want to do just a recessed light from above,” said PergeauDudgeon.

Pergeau-Dudgeon stressed the importance of picking out a fixture that is large enough for the space. She said it is common for people to pick something that is too small. Some lighting showrooms will allow you to bring a fixture home to make sure it fits the space properly, she said.

Many fixtures are the focal points of rooms with dramatic and beautiful designs that almost feel “sculptural,” which is what Regina Andrew is known for, Kerfoot said.

“It’s like you get two things for one purchase. It’s something beautiful that you can enjoy when the lights are off during the daytime and you can enjoy the daylight, but then once you turn it on in the evening, it just completely changes your space,” Kerfoot said.

Pergeau-Dudgeon urges people to go to ALA-certified lighting showrooms. She said that by purchasing products from a lighting showroom, you will get betterquality lighting and have someone to help guide you through the process.

Peek Inside Your Health: Full Body MRI Screenings Unveil Silent Issues Before Symptoms Arise SOUTHFIELD- Full body MRI clinics have gained national attention lately, as TV personalities publicly share their personal full body scan experiences. One actress credits the scan for saving her life after doctors dismissed her unexplained pain for months. After various tests, including a CT scan, had “unremarkable” results, the pregnant actress became her own advocate, searched out a full body MRI clinic and discovered she had pancreatic cancer. Thanks to early detection the tumor was removed successfully.

As a general rule, when symptoms occur related to cancer, it usually has progressed to stage three or four. Even with annual physicals, there are limitations. Most screenings only cover about 29% of cancers with 71% occur-

ring outside of where doctors are able to screen. However, full body MRI scans can detect cancer in every organ from the top of the head through the genitals and can detect it very early.

For a long time, full body MRI scans were available only in select areas outside of Michigan, requiring expensive flights like in Vancouver or California.

However, this changed when a clinic opened in Southfield, making these scans available to Metro Detroit residents.

“Our advanced MRI screening can detect cancers very early when they are as small as a pencil eraser and are more easily treatable. If cancer goes undetected, however, it can grow into stage three or stage four with difficult treatments. We can also identify conditions

such as brain, abdominal, chest, and groin aneurysms,” stated the founder of the Southfield clinic called Bionicc Body Screening.

The primary focus of Bionicc Body Screening is to deliver peace of mind, offering a comprehensive and detailed imaging of the body’s internal structures. The ultimate hope is for excellent health. However, in the event that something is detected, the advanced screening aims to catch any potential issues at their earliest stages. This approach offers the best opportunity for successful treatment outcomes, should the need arise.

Robert B., age 50, opted for a full body scan from Bionicc Body Screening and a very small tumor was detected. He said, “It saved my

life. Their MRI found a kidney tumor that had been missed by a recent CT scan. I cannot recommend this service more.”

However, public safety officials in the Grosse Pointes say that if someone is experiencing domestic violence, they want to help.

The Grosse Pointe Shores Public Safety Department gives victims of domestic violence a packet with information — including phone numbers for shelters and listings of other resources.

“Every victim of domestic violence gets the priority from the public safety department to make that person safe and feel safe,” Shores Public Safety Director Kenneth Werenski said by email. “Any medical attention will be provided, or transportation provided to seek further medical attention. And as always that feeling of safety comes with either removing the victim or the perpetrator from the home as the law states.”

The National Domestic Violence hotline — (800) 799-7233 — can connect victims with domestic violence shelters in their area and other resources.

Grosse Pointe Farms Deputy Public Safety Director Andrew Rogers said his department has seen grandparents abused by grandchildren, as well as violence by partners

in a relationship. He said the safety of the victim is paramount.

“From a police standpoint, we would like people to remove themselves and call (us) from a safe place, if they can,” Rogers said.

He said there are about 20 shelters within a 25-mile radius of the Farms, and most of them will accept children, so families don’t have to be separated. Rogers said some shelters accept male victims, so everyone has somewhere to go.

When someone files a domestic violence complaint, Rogers said, it’s the Public Safety Department — not the victim — who’s listed as the complainant. He said that “takes the pressure off of the victim” if the victim is urged later by the assailant to drop the charges.

Rogers wants victims to know that they aren’t alone, and assistance is available.

“There’s always a way out for victims,” Rogers said. “Don’t let the embarrassment or stigma stop you (from leaving), because things can escalate quickly and you can wind up dead.”

Booker said one of her abusers was a man who showered her with expensive gifts and offered her a lavish lifestyle. She said victims shouldn’t let those financial trappings keep them in a bad relationship.

“When I said I was leaving, my girlfriends said I was crazy,” Booker said.

But by leaving, “I’m saying, ‘I love me more,’” Booker continued. “I can’t be bought. I’m not staying just because of what I have.”

State officials are making efforts to protect victims. Earlier this month, the Michigan Senate passed three bills — sponsored

by State Sens. Stephanie Chang, D-Detroit, and Sue Shink, D-Northfield Township — that amend the state’s penal code and ban those convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence crimes from using, buying, carrying or having a firearm in Michigan for eight years.

“The issue of domestic violence touches Michiganders in all corners of our state,” Shink said in a press release. “Throughout the committee process, we’ve heard heartbreaking testimonies from residents who have survived abuse, as well as from parents and friends whose loved one was shot and killed by an intimate partner. The research is clear: Firearms and domestic violence are a volatile combination that ends all too often in the senseless loss of life. This legislation serves as an important step to disarm abusers and protect survivors from further pain.”

Booker said she has since come to rec-

ognize that her abusers, and her stepfather, all suffered from substance abuse, mental illness or other underlying conditions or trauma. Her second book, “Illusions of Loyalty” — which was slated to be published around the end of October — will explore some of the root causes of domestic violence. Booker said she plans to write a series of books on this topic, to get conversations started and help others who’ve been in her shoes know what to look for and what they can do to get out and heal themselves.

Some people in her family — such as her younger siblings, who didn’t witness the abuse against her mother because they were too young at the time — don’t have the same memories about their father and aren’t comfortable with Booker’s decision to write about what she witnessed growing up, as well as what she experienced in her own relationships as a teen and an adult. She isn’t letting their objections stop her.

“I’m just going to keep telling the story,” Booker said. “I don’t want to hide from this anymore.”

Booker’s books are available from the online bookstores of Amazon and Barnes & Noble, as well as her website, agapeink.org.

Tax hikes from page 3A

but proposals are causing dissent among some members of Whitmer’s group, which is charged with providing her with recommendations by Dec. 1.

Republican education work group member Patrick Anderson objected to the recommendation on school taxes, suggesting it could require a major overhaul of the state’s funding formula that relies on constitutionally dedicated sales and property taxes.

“These would be radical changes involving the income tax, sales tax, property tax, local school operating and debt millages as well as the per-pupil guarantee and the dedication of the School Aid fund in the Constitution to both secondary and higher education,” Anderson told colleagues in an Oct. 7 email dissent shared with Bridge. “There is indeed a need to improve school governance and finance. However, I and multiple other members of the group feel that changes in revenue must follow, not precede, improvements in accountability and performance,” he added.

Anderson had asked work group chairs Karen McPhee and Chandra Madafferi, who is president of the Michigan Education As-

sociation union, to include his written dissent in the PreK-12 recommendation report.

They declined to do so, telling him that “would have required us to offer an opportunity for every work group member to write dissenting viewpoints, and that was not in our charge.”

McPhee, in an email provided by Anderson, said the work group is not specifically recommending policymakers propose changes to the Michigan Constitution to fund schools, which would be required to raise or otherwise change the state’s 6% sales tax.

But the work group recommendations, “leave the possibility” of a constitutional amendment “on the table and suggest teams of experts be charged with considering everything necessary to build, govern and fund a newly designed high-performing system of public schools,” McPhee wrote.

The work group reports are not final recommendations but will inform further work by the full council.

The group is charged with providing “short-term, medium-term, and long-term policies” proposals to Whitmer, who would then have to work with the Legislature to enact any recommendations.

Other potential tax changes eyed by the group include:

A potential change in property taxes for local governments, which have long complained their financial recovery from the Great Recession was slowed by the voter-approved Headlee Amendment of 1978, which caps annual growth in taxable value at the rate of inflation of 5%.

Another work group is recommending the council figure out a way to “raise additional annual funding to maintain our current system of roads” and decrease the state’s

reliance on fuel taxes, which are projected to decline as consumers purchase more electric vehicles. It suggests a phased-in plan.

A Jobs, Talent and People work group is suggesting a series of targeted tax credits to address workforce shortages and attract new hires to the state.

Increasing the state’s child tax credit to better support low-income families and suggests a new credit for small businesses that offer paid parental leave.

Producer from page 3A

After 20 years of living and working in Los Angeles, Gosselin is back in metro Detroit, living in Grosse Pointe Farms not far from the home of his younger sister, Ariel Gosselin, and his mom, who lives in Grosse Pointe Park. He came home to start a record label, create a musical collective and nurture new talent.

“I just like to be inspired by things, and I like to create,” said Gosselin, 42. “If I’m inspired by things, I’m happy.”

At age 5, Gosselin made his first attempt at spinning vinyl on his mother’s record player. His parents weren’t musical — his dad worked in quality control for the auto industry and his mom was a hair stylist — but a great-uncle was said to be a famous banjo player, according to a family historian.

Gosselin set off on a different musical path.

“When I was little, I wanted to be like Jam Master Jay — DJ and scratch records,” Gosselin said.

As a youth, Gosselin played saxophone and guitar in church. He was also in bands in high school. A graduate of Grosse Pointe North High School’s Class of 1999, Gosselin was more focused on a career in the musical industry than the classroom. By 16, he was engineering in the studio and DJing shows. Enrolled part-time as a high school senior in the Recording Institute of Detroit, he met and started working with legendary Motown songwriters Barrett Strong (“Money [That’s What I Want]”) and Robert Bate-

man (“Please Mr. Postman”). Strong gave him the nickname “Magic Man” for his technical prowess.

“You learn more from experience,” Gosselin said. “I’ve been blessed to learn from great people over the years.”

He started working with some of Detroit’s most prominent hip-hop artists, including Proof, Obie Trice and D12, and operating his own recording studios. Ariel Gosselin said their dad built a recording studio for her brother in the basement of his home in New Baltimore.

“This has always been his passion, and he’s really good at it,” Ariel Gosselin said. “I remember him being able to pick up any instrument and play it.”

Ariel Gosselin, who’s more than five years younger than her brother, recalls being just a teenager when her big brother was getting her into shows that were typically only open to adults or those of legal drinking age. She wasn’t drinking — she was just there to dance and have fun — and she remembers the rappers being protective of her.

“I was the younger sister, hanging out with these big rap stars,” Ariel Gosselin said. “I was like everybody’s little sister.”

On a recent October afternoon, Gosselin was behind the controls at Plymouth Rock Recording Co. in Plymouth, working on a track with Nick Small, of Plymouth, the studio’s manager and a music producer who’s now recording his own material with the band Dusk Harmonic.

“We’ve worked with a lot of engineers here, and very rarely have I met someone who’s that multitalented,” Small said. “It lends itself to creating something that’s fresh.”

One of Gosselin’s greatest strengths is his ability to en-

hance a track without overwhelming it or rendering it cold.

The humanity of the song and its emotional hook continues to shine through.

“It’s all about making great art,” Gosselin said. “And knowing when to quit.”

Small said Gosselin is able to bring the best out of an artist and a song. He also brings unique insight into the music because he’s written songs himself.

“Not all audio mixing engineers are also producers,” Small said. “He understands music at a very fundamental level. That’s rare to find somebody who can make a song as well as mix a song.”

Gosselin won his first Grammy Award in 2013 for the Beto Cuevas album, “Transformación.” He’s worked in a wide range of genres — including dance, R&B, rock and soul — and said he “never wanted to be pigeonholed.”

“It’s been amazing,” Ariel Gosselin said of having her brother back in town. “I’m so proud of him. He’s like a Detroit legend. I’m so happy he’s back home.”

Jared Gosselin and his wife, singer/songwriter Rama Duke, have a 9-year-old daughter together; mom and daughter were in Greece at press time, where Duke was doing a musical. Ariel Gosselin has a son around the same age, and the cousins are looking forward to spending more time together. Her son is already a regular at his uncle’s house.

“My son is obsessed with going to his house and dancing to his music,” Ariel Gosselin said.
