DETROIT — For generations of metro Detroiters, shopping — especially around the holidays — meant a trip to Hudson’s.

Although the retailer ceased to exist in 2001 — with stores at first becoming Marshall Field’s and later Macy’s — a mention of Hudson’s is almost certain to bring back memories for anyone old enough to have visited one of them. The

Detroit Historical Museum is tapping into those memories — and introducing the beloved Detroit-based retailer to a new generation — with “Hudson’s Holidays,” a small exhibition on view through Dec. 30.

At the heart of the display is a glass case housing an assortment of toys carried by Hudson’s, including a collection of Santa Bears. The exclusive stuffed bears were produced annually from about 1985 to 2007, with many shoppers collecting all of them.

“When they walk in, people are drawn to the Santa Bear tower,” said Jeremy Dimick, director of collections and curatorial for the museum. “It’s a big nostalgia hit.”

The same case contains scores of other toys as well, including a wind-up car from the 1920s, an early Ken doll, slot cars and an erector set. In many cases, the boxes that the toys came in are on display as well, giving a peek into the marketing of that era.

Attempted arson reported

At 5:39 p.m. on Nov. 14, a report was made about an alleged act of arson that occurred the same day in the 23000 block of Stadium Boulevard.

Upon arrival, two officers saw a man walking on the sidewalk between the South Lake schools baseball field and the concession stand, followed by two St. Clair Shores firefighters.

An officer ordered the man, 30, to stop and he complied. The man was placed in handcuffs.

During the search and without questioning, the man said he tried to light a fire in the corner of the building. The man was placed in the back seat of the police car. The two firefighters said they saw the man attempting to light the building on fire when they arrived. A metal bowl that appeared to have charred debris was observed on the southeast corner of the concession building.

An officer later spoke with the caller, a 44-year-old woman, who stated she saw someone lighting something on fire near the building.

The man reportedly became agitated on the way to the station and began to kick the inside of the rear passenger door and the ceiling of the police car. Dispatch and the front desk were advised of the situation.

Larceny reported

At 7:02 a.m. on Nov. 21, a report was made about an alleged act of larceny that occurred on the same day in the 24000 block of Harmon Street.

Upon arrival, an officer spoke to the foreman of the construction site, a 69-year-old man, who stated that sometime between Nov. 14 and the listed date six spools of wire were stolen from the northwest addition of the school. He said they were working on the other side of the building and believed Nov. 14 was the last time someone saw the wire.

The wire was taken from an unfinished construction area surrounded by fencing.

An officer reported that residents did see a white vehicle at the school on a Sunday and that a man was driving the vehicle. They stated they did not see the man loading anything into the vehicle.

Officers met with the victim whose vehicle was allegedly taken by force. Investigators followed up with leads and on Nov. 21, the vehicle was located and found to be occupied in the city of Detroit.

Remembering The Life Of

7A

Anna Jane Lucido

Anna Jane Pellerito (also known Annie or Anne) was born August 12, 1930 in Detroit, Michigan.

She was the third child of Paul and Jennie Pellerito. Anne and her older siblings Joseph and Ninfa were raised from a very young age by their father Paul, who was a widower. She always spoke with great love and respect for her father. She referred to him as her “Mother and Father”. Mom loved her years at Dominican High School; she loved her experiences with the Nuns, playing tennis and making lifelong friendships. As an alumna, she was an avid letter writer, a great organizer and treasured these friendships and planning school reunions well into her 80’s. After high school she worked in her Father’s Insurance business, Mercantile Insurance Agency.

In 1949, she met the “Love of her Life” Peter Joseph Lucido at a wedding. It was a brief encounter, only by fate, to meet again at mass the following Sunday. Dad wanted that second meeting at all cost. He loved telling the story of how they met and married less than one year later. They married on October 7, 1950. Life began on a street in Detroit called Chatsworth, where they had four children. They later built a beautiful home in St. Clair Shores and were blessed with four more children. It was a full house of four boys and four girls. Anne was a devoted wife and mother raising eight children, with endless hours of cooking, gardening, tending to her flowers, feeding the birds at her home, cleaning, washing, ironing, canning, making sauce and sausage, walking and driving to the children’s schools and still finding time to become a Boy Scout Den Mother. Dad worked hard and long hours in the family produce business and later joined his father in law in the insurance business before opening his own agency, Lucido’s Insurance Agency, with his two sons Joseph and Paul. Mom and Dad gave their family a wonderful childhood, filled with many beautiful, fun and warm memories.

When Mom was in her forties, she had a minute to breathe as her older children were getting married and the kids were in school full time. She began volunteering at St. Isaac Jogues Church as a Eucharist Minister also bringing communion to the homebound, Christian Service Coordinator, teaching religious education, holding positions of Secretary, Treasurer and later President of the woman’s organization Tekak-

withans, worked in the kitchen for weekly bingo, organized countless Christmas and anniversary parties for the church and teaching the school children how to make rosaries for the missions. Mom later became a Hospice volunteer caregiver, even leaving her home on a Thanksgiving morning to care for a client. She became certified in Elizabeth Kubler Ross, compassion of the death and dying.

She made a profession of faith and worked hard to become a secular Franciscan. Also, she was a volunteer at Stapleton Center in Detroit bringing desserts and entertainment to the senior residents. Also, Mom was a pen pal and wrote letters to inmates through the prison ministry for many years.

Mom had fun as a “Red Hatter” and enjoyed their friendships well into her 80’s.

She continued these countless volunteer services, while taking care of her family. She was a pro at time management and accomplishing tasks. During her fifties Mom found a new love, “SWIMMING” and she was really good at it! She swam laps, one mile a day at the St. Clair Shores pool! During the winters, she would swim at local high schools which she enjoyed into her 70’s. In 2003, Dad and Mom moved to Old Coach Trail in Clinton Township where the new house they purchased had a pool. Her fun continued in the pool daily as Dad watched her from his La-Z-Boy chair. Dad was a top producer in insurance sales and they were awarded many trips in the states and Europe through the years.

Mom loved living life to the fullest, thriving on volunteering and giving to others. She enjoyed spending time with all 23 grandchildren and 33 great grandchildren at their activities. Mom loved singing by the piano, big holiday parties, pool parties, picnics, traveling, being with her friends and family.

Mom instilled her devotion of The Divine Mercy and taught many life lessons to her family and showed great love, courage and devotion in all she embarked on. But, her greatest love was her husband Peter, caring for him in their house until he died in 2019.

Their love story lasted 68 years and now forevermore.

Mom, rest in peace, you have finished the race and kept your faith, well done, good and faithful servant. Your family will miss you dearly and love you forever!

MARK METRY APPROVED AS ATTORNEY MAGISTRATE

BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com

At their Nov. 20 meeting, the St. Clair Shores City Council approved Mark Metry to join the 40th District Court as an attorney magistrate by a 7-0 vote.

Metry served in that role for 22 years before he retired in 2021. The same year, Genevieve Taylor joined the 40th District Court as attorney magistrate. Metry was retired for two years before coming back to be attorney magistrate once again and he’s been an attorney since 1978.

Metry said Taylor has a full practice which is something he could relate to. He said in a phone call that they’ll work together some days.

“It’s a lot more difficult when you have a full practice, so we’ll be complementing each other,” Metry said.

Judges and other staff of the 40th District Court were in attendance at the council meeting to see Metry get appointed.

Metry had his own private practice. He said he started a partnership with his dad and uncle who were both attorneys. When they died, Metry continued the practice

with his brother, who was also an attorney.

After his brother became a federal judge, his cousin joined him, and so did his son when he got out of law school.

“So one time the Metry, Metry, Metry (firm) was my son and my cousin.

Before that, it was my uncle and my dad,” Metry said.

“So it’s been a family thing for a long time.”

He said during the Metry meeting that he recently retired from his active practice.

Councilwoman Candice Rusie thanked Metry for wanting to come back.

“You served, it says, in this position from 1998 to 2021,” Rusie said. “So someone with that wealth of knowledge and experience working within not only the court system but our specific court, I think, will be very helpful to the people going through the court.”

His son is still an attorney, and this was brought up at the council meeting. Rusie said she noticed his son was one of the attorneys the court pays and asked if there would be any conflict of interest if he would have to

come before the 40th District Court.

“I believe there would not be a conflict,” Metry said during the meeting. “I know Judge Fratarcangeli and Judge Oster are here. But he didn’t have a problem before. And generally, he doesn’t appear in front of me.”

“We will make sure, for scheduling purposes, he will not be scheduled on the days where he was there,” said Andrea Strassburg, administrator of the 40th District Court.

Rusie thanked Strassburg and said she wanted to make sure because they didn’t want to jeopardize their Michigan Indigent Defense Commission funding. Rusie later said in a phone call that the MIDC funding is provided by the state through the court system so that defendants who may not be otherwise able to afford defense counsel can receive counsel.

Councilman Dave Rubello asked if there were any changes Metry has seen in the court system since he’s been gone, and Metry said he has stayed up to date on the law. As far as the courts, he said there haven’t been any big changes.

“There’s a couple areas,” Metry said, adding that there’s now an educational re-

quirement for magistrates and judges.

“So I’ll have to go through that over the next couple years,” Metry said. “But I don’t see any big changes or any big problems.”

Strassburg said there is also a magistrate manual and a summary of updates to review before Metry takes office.

As far as learning goes, Metry said in an interview there are mandatory classes he’s already taken and there’s a manual with the updates. Otherwise, he’s ready to start work.

As an attorney magistrate, Metry said he’ll hear arraignments, landlord tenant pretrials, traffic matters and other things. He said he also covers small claims court, which are cases without an attorney and judgements under $6,000. He said the district courts usually handle cases such as traffic offenses and minor criminal complaints like retail fraud, and that most people will never go to court beyond the district court.

“I want to make everybody comfortable that comes to court and give them a feeling that it’s not such a bad thing,” Metry said.

He said he’s excited to get back to work and that the 40th District Court is a great place.

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — While toxicology reports were still pending at press time, police have released more information about the death of a man found in the ventilation system at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts, located on the Macomb Community College Center Campus.

On Nov. 30, the Macomb College Police Department issued a press release reporting that Clinton Township resident Jason Anthony Thompson, 36, died of an accidental death due to asphyxia/entrapment/ environmental suffocation, which “supports the medical examiner’s preliminary report.”

“And so, we have different sponsors sponsoring the motion lights,” Bowman said. “So I think we have like a Santa Claus waving, and we have a Santa Claus fishing and a few other motion displays.”

Parks and Recreation Events Coordinator Donna Hill listed an array of vendors who are going to be at the Holiday Market.

Along with the press release, college officials established a timeline that led up to the disappearance and death of Thompson.

He was originally reported missing to the Sterling Heights Police Department on Nov. 1 and was last seen by family either Oct. 25 or Oct. 26.

Sterling Heights police first contacted college police on Nov. 7 about Thompson, who they described “as a fugitive with several outstanding felony warrants.” He told his family he was running from police and had gotten onto the roof of a building at the college’s Center Campus.

“I liked helping people,” Metry said.

“You could do more as a judicial magistrate or a judge to help people than you can anywhere else. And now with the emphasis on mental health, I think it’s a good thing. So I can try to get people into some mental health help, to some family help, to some sobriety help.”

Bowman said there will also be food trucks at the market.

He also said there will be entertainment at the Tunnel of Lights including the Casali School of Dance performing on multiple nights, the Motor City Blend Chorus and other music and arts groups. Santa is going to visit St. Clair Shores during these events: at 7 p.m. on Dec. 10; on Dec. 15, at a time to be determined; and at 7 p.m. on Dec. 16.

Bowman wants to remind guests to dress for the weather. Fire pits will be available at the Holiday Market for eventgoers to keep warm in the frosty December temperatures.

“I’m really looking forward to it,” Bowman said.

Hudson’s from page 3A

Visitors will find an assortment of other Hudson’s memorabilia as well, including a collection of annual holiday shopping bags — on loan from local historian Michael Hauser — dishes and serving pieces from the downtown Detroit Hudson’s restaurant, photos, clothing, an old brass nameplate from the downtown store and a pneumatic tube that Dimick said was used to send messages throughout the downtown store. The Hudson’s store on Woodward Avenue in Detroit was 25 stories tall and was the world’s tallest department store until 1961. The downtown store closed in 1983.

“One of the nice things about this exhibition is people reading all of the historic

panels,” Dimick said. “It’s getting to the point where the people who remember Hudson’s are getting older.”

Hauser said the holiday shopping bags reflected that year’s holiday décor theme. He said Hudson’s would also have special wrapping paper created each year embracing the theme.

“The shopping bags are fun because that’s an art form that’s completely gone away,” Hauser said of the sturdy, decorative paper bags with handles.

Hauser worked for Hudson’s at Southland Mall in Taylor for roughly a decade. He penned several books for Arcadia Publishing with co-author Marianne Weldon that explore the history and impact of Hudson’s and other department stores: “Hudson’s: The Grand Dame of Detroit Retailing,” “Hudson’s: Detroit’s Legendary Depart-

ment Store” and “20th-Century Retailing in Downtown Detroit.” All the books are available at The Detroit Shoppe at Somerset Collection in Troy; Hauser said proceeds from the book sales benefit the Detroit Historical Museum.

Hudson’s was known for its customer service. Hauser, who specialized in men’s shirts and ties, said employees kept books listing their best customers and would call them and put merchandise on hold for them when new items arrived. In addition, long before online shopping, customers could order items from their local store, which Hauser said had its own fleet of delivery trucks.

“You could order almost anything and have it delivered (to your home) almost immediately,” Hauser said. “They were the Amazon of their day.”

“THE EASTSIDE’S BEST WESTSIDE DELI”

Spotlight on business...

Leaf And Bud Transforming Michigan’s Cannabis Industry ‘From Seed To Sell’ You can’t buy a mature tree. You have to plant the seed, train its roots, cultivate the land and nurture the tree as it grows stronger and flourishes.

Leaf and Bud founder and CEO Mark Savaya, Detroit’s “Henry Ford of Cannabis,” applied that same philosophy to his business, which is transforming the cannabis industry in metro Detroit and communities across Michigan by rehabilitating long shuttered (and in some cases historical) properties, employing hundreds of workers and providing the very finest products at the best prices for consumers.

“At Leaf and Bud, we cultivate in-house, from seed to sell. We do cultivation, processing and retail under one roof,” Savaya said.

Leaf and Bud is open for business at two locations in Detroit: at its headquarters on Livernois, south of Fenkell Avenue, and on Gratiot Avenue. They’re also up and running on Sherwood Avenue in Center Line, and on Dequindre Road in Hazel Park.

Other locations include Lenox Township, Battle Creek, New Buffalo (on the west side of the state) and downtown Ann Arbor (open soon).

Leaf and Bud’s products include the finest flower, gummies, oil, cartridges and accessories.

“There was a lot of R&D that went into the ‘Mark Savaya Collection,’ a lot of trial and error, lost strains and endless hours. It was finally accomplished with the triumph of the hybrid born from Lemon Cherry Gelato and Sherbert Gelato strain,” Savaya said. “This high potency euphoric strain has become immensely popular in my collection, and no one has the cut.”

Leaf and Bud is dedicated to giving back to the community by transforming properties in the neighborhoods it calls home. That includes a former Coca-Cola facility and the former Farmer Jack distribution center in Detroit, and the Sanders chocolate factory in Highland Park.

Savaya is also committed to giving those convicted of nonviolent drug offenses a second chance through employment.

“They’re the best workers.

They love what they do,” Savaya said. “It’s a win-win situation. They get a second chance in life, and we give hope to the right people.”

Savaya said the success enjoyed by Leaf and Bud has allowed him to give back to hospitals, churches and shelters in the community.

“I started this business with nothing at all except my own knowledge! I ended up growing myself and growing a wonderful team with over 350 employees,” Savaya said. “I work hard for everything, and I just want to help others to be just as successful! I’m always here to help anyone in any way I can.”

Controlling its product from seed to sale and supplying its own retail inventory allows Leaf and Bud to offer customers the very best wholesale prices.

“We cultivate everything in-house, so we sell it to the consumers for the wholesale price,” Savaya said. “That’s only at Leaf and Bud. We have over 8,000 lights growing, indoor cultivation.”

roof and he may have been hiding in the ventilation system,” according to the timeline.

Sterling Heights police asked college police to check for a person on the roof of the Macomb Center for Performing Arts building. According to the Macomb College Police Department, an officer and a college staff member climbed to the highest point of the multilevel roof and saw no evidence of human activity, access points to the ventilation system, remains or odors.

Ten days later, on Nov. 17, Sterling Heights police asked college police to review video covering the area around the Macomb Center and its roof from Oct. 25 and Oct. 26 “to ascertain whether Thompson could be seen accessing exterior areas of the Macomb Center or its roof.” However, there was “no camera coverage of the requested areas,” the timeline states.

In the early afternoon of Nov. 26, college police officers on routine duty noticed “a distinct foul odor” coming from the Macomb Center and notified their supervisor, who then notified Chief William Leavens.

The odor led college police and staff members to a remote area of the Macomb

Center unavailable to the public. Needing assistance on the scene, college police contacted the Michigan State Police Bomb Squad, which used X-ray equipment that showed a mass within the duct work. A small opening was created to insert a camera into the duct work near the mass, showing what appeared to be an inverted human body.

College police then contacted the Clinton Township Police Department to request evidence technicians to document the scene before disturbing it. The medical examiner was notified and was on scene to supervise the Clinton Township Fire Department’s extrication of the body.

Clinton Township Police Department evidence technicians finished processing the scene after removal of the body before turning the location back over to the college for appropriate cleaning and repairs.

The investigation determined that once Thompson entered from the roof, he continued to break through barriers and moved deeper into the ventilation system. He eventually came to a duct that was vertical in a downward direction. He reportedly entered it headfirst, got stuck in an inverted position and could not move.

During the investigation, police determined there was no evidence indicating See BODY on page 20A

oldest ski destinations in the country, to the Boyne Resorts properties near Petoskey to municipal-owned slopes like Hickory Hills Recreation Area in Traverse City.

Among the most exciting additions to Michigan’s slopes this season is the debut of the Camelot 6 at The Highlands at Harbor Springs. The six-person, high-speed Doppelmayr D-Line bubble chairlift is a first in the Midwest. In a nutshell, the new chairlift provides a warmer, more comfortable lift to the top of the hill.

Across Michigan, snow sports enthusiasts will find a range of upgrades, including new chairlifts, additional lighting, improved snow-making and grooming, quicker access to the slopes and new dining and other amenities.

“There is a lot of good news for snow lovers right now as demand for skiing continues to grow following the pandemic in 2020. What we are seeing is more investing in infrastructure, including snowmaking and chairlifts,” says Steve Kershner, chairman of the Michigan Snowsports Industries Association and director of snow sports for Shanty Creek Resort in Bellaire. “Ultimately

anyone else was with Thompson. He did not bring any supplies such as food and water to sustain himself. The air vent was not designed to accommodate human access.

According to investigators, Thompson thought he was being chased by police due to several outstanding warrants; however, there was no evidence that any law enforcement agency was actively pursuing him.

On Nov. 27, college officials released the following statement about the deceased.

“The college community extends heartfelt condolences during this difficult time to Mr. Thompson’s family and friends.”

Lt. Mario Bastianelli from the Sterling Heights Police Department said he couldn’t comment much on the investigation, as it’s

all of us who love to ski in Michigan are the benefactors of these investments.”

The Camelot 6 at The Highlands, formerly Boyne Highlands, is expected to begin operating early this month. December The bubble lift features heated, extra wide, ergonomically designed seats with footrests.

A tinted, weatherproof bubble keeps riders warm and protected while being whisked up the slopes at a fast speed. It also boasts advanced safety features.

That addition is one of many improvements at the Boyne Resorts property, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. The resort also has expanded night skiing and added new dining options, including a Waffle Cabin on the slopes, a pop-up chophouse restaurant at the Country Club of Boyne and a Mexican twist at the Zoo Bar. More outdoor bars are being added — to improve apres-ski options — along the base area.

At nearby Boyne Mountain, two new lifts are opening up this season, replacing old ones. One is a four-person Doppelmayr fixed-grip chairlift that will haul skiers uphill in less than four minutes, half the time of the former ride.. The other is a three-person Doppelmayr fixed grip chairlift that will provide skiers and riders with a quicker trip upward as well as improved loading and unloading. ongoing and being conducted by college police. He did confirm that the Sterling Heights Police Department got a report about Thompson being missing on Nov. 1.

“Mr. Thompson was reported missing by family members who last saw him in Sterling Heights when he left their home,” Bastianelli said in an email. “Sterling Heights Detectives exhausted every resource and led in attempts to locate Mr. Thompson.”

Bastianelli added that campus law enforcement has since informed Sterling Heights police that they found Thompson’s body.

“Our hearts and prayers go out to the family for the loss of their loved one,” Bastianelli added.

You might remember that Boyne Mountain is home to SkyBridge Michigan, a 1,200-foot-long pedestrian bridge that opened in the fall of 2022. For the holidays, the 118-foot-high bridge will be outfitted with a holiday light installation by Zoro’s Lights of Livonia. The display features more than 150,000 twinkling lights and will be illuminated through March 31.

At Crystal Mountain, look for quicker access to the slopes, lessons to take home with you, and the ability to pay for lessons online in advance, saving time at check-in at the Mountain Adventure Zone.

Like other ski areas, the Thompsonville resort is working to improve the learning experience for children and is introducing Flaik. Flaik uses a GPS tag that students wear during their lessons allowing instructors to track their progress. It also allows instructors and parents to locate kids on the slopes. Student progress reports and satisfaction surveys will be included in the ‘Re-live Your Lesson’ follow-up messaging.

“We’re excited about implementing Flaik for Crystal’s Snowsports school because it allows kids and their parents to ‘re-live the lesson’ even after the session is over,” said Chris Fisher, director of Snowsports. “Plus, it allows our instructors to know where the student left off and where to pick up in

teaching when the student returns for another lesson.”

Nub’s Nob, outside Harbor Springs, is rolling out a new learn-to-ski program for the season called “2024: A Ski Odyssey.” The program is aimed at prospective skiers ages 9 and above. The program includes two group lessons, equipment rental and lift tickets for just $50 a lesson. At the end of the second lesson, skiers can purchase a Bargain Pass for the remainder of the season for $100 and receive a $100 discount off a ski package.

“All of us at Nub’s are stoked to see how this goes as it’s a real chance for us to bring new skiers into the sport,” said Ben Doornbos, general manager.

Among the many improvements at Shanty Creek Resort in Bellaire is the expansion of operating hours for its open-air shuttle, the Skibra. Painted like a zebra, the Skibra makes it easier for skiers and riders to get around the 5,500-acre resort, which is home to four distinct villages.

Like other resorts, Shanty Creek is moving toward all cashless transactions.

This season guests will simply swipe or tap their cards or smart devices for resort-related transactions. Guests without non-cash forms of payment will find kiosks throughout the resort to convert to prepaid cards.

Mark Balon, co-chair of the Waterfront Environmental Committee, said Lakeview Superintendent Karl Paulson found the grant and that the committee completed the paperwork and submitted it. He said it’s a really good partnership with the community.

“DTE is a really good partner, too.

They’re providing the grant through the DNR, right,” Balon said.

Lakeview Public Schools received around $4,000 which was enough to purchase 23 trees spread between Princeton Elementary School, Ardmore Elementary School and the Wheat Early Childhood Center. This grant also gives them an opportunity to use volunteer hours to go for additional grants, Balon said.

They chose to plant the trees in places that would be beneficial to the environment and the students. They planted a couple near the drainage swales at the front of the school and a couple near the back by the playground.

“There’s no trees there, believe it or not.

It’s right next to the concrete where it’s really hot,” Balon said. “So the trees that we’re growing will probably go up to 30 or 40 feet

International College of Dentists USA Section honors local dental practitioner

The International College of Dentists USA Section recognized a local dental practitioner, Dr. Richard Frenchi, as a fellow of the International College of Dentists at its 2023 annual convocation.

Frenchi, an orthodontist at LakePointe Orthodontics at 22006 Greater Mack Ave. in St. Clair Shores, received a membership plaque, a gold lapel pin and an engraved gold key symbolic of this fellowship for conspicuous service rendered in the art and science of dentistry.

The International College of Dentists states that it is the preeminent honor society of the world’s outstanding dentists involved in serving others. The ICD recognizes professional achievement, meritorious service and progress in dentistry to benefit all humankind.

Frenchi exemplifies the core values of integrity, leadership and service, according to the ICD.

high and it was really going to be beneficial.”

Balon went on to say they planted a variety of trees that help the environment and that they wanted to reach out to the other districts in St. Clair Shores as well to let them know about the grants.

He later said in a phone call they’ve been working with the DNR so high school students could help the community apply for tree grants for their districts.

“It would be a great way for students to make an impact and get credit on college applications,” Balon said.

The students who helped plant the trees were from Ardmore Elementary School’s Green Team which consists of mostly upper elementary classes.

“Ardmore’s Green Team is a group of upper elementary students dedicated to learning about reducing, reusing and recycling,” the Lakeview Public Schools website said.

Renee Cusmano, the school’s Green Team coordinator, said the student group started off by recycling in the school.

“We’ve been doing all kinds of really cool activities,” Cusmano said. “We’re getting ready to adopt an animal from the Detroit Zoo. We’ve helped with the Nautical clean up. We’re planting trees here. We’re See TREE on page 24A

recycling glue sticks and dry erase markers. Just a bunch of little things that we’re doing.”

Addie Savoie, a fifth grader at Ardmore, said she thinks planting the trees is really good.

“Because you’re making the environment better and it’s a fun experience for the kids, too,” Savoie said.

James McKay, a fifth grader at Ardmore, said it’s better when there are more trees around the school and it’s better looking.

“Just yeah, looks like a good school,” McKay said.

Emma Jones, a fourth grader at Ardmore, said people should plant trees more often.

“And going outdoors,” Jones said.

All three students said they were having fun planting the trees.

Paulson said the event allows the kids to know where their priorities should be and that a lot of the trees had to be replaced due to construction work going on at the school.

“So replacing those trees in a way, with the kinds of trees we selected, even have a purpose at a school campus,” Paulson said. “Those are important things for kids to see and experience so they remember it.”

Today, Hudson’s lives on through the Hudson-Webber Foundation, which has given more than $200 million in grants to Detroit nonprofits since its inception in 1939.

“They were incredible community leaders, and they left us with so many events that are still with us today,” Hauser said of the Hudson and Webber families.

Hauser said iconic events launched by Hudson’s include the Freedom Festival Fireworks (now the Ford Fireworks), America’s Thanksgiving Parade and the Fash Bash, among others.

Rebecca Salminen Witt, the chief strategy and marketing officer for the Detroit Historical Society, which operates the Detroit Historical Museum, said this is the third and final year the museum will be offering a Hudson’s holiday exhibition.

“This is such a crowd pleaser that we wanted to do it one more year,” Salminen Witt said.

This year’s exhibition is in the Gallery of Invention. In early 2024, Salminen Witt said, this space will become a new gallery, City of Champions, which will spotlight Detroit sports stories, starting with the Detroit Pistons in honor of the 35th anniversary of the franchise’s 1989 and 1990 championship seasons and the 20th anniversary of the 2004 championship.

“Our sports exhibitions do so well here,” Salminen Witt said. “This will allow us to do more (of them) and do more consistently.”

On Sundays in December, Detroit Historical Museum admission is free. Admission to the DHM’s sister site, the Dossin Great Lakes Museum on Belle Isle, is also free on Sundays in December.

The Detroit Historical Museum is located at 5401 Woodward Ave. in midtown. For more information, visit detroithistorical.org or call (313) 833-1805.

Michigan’s outdoor recreation industry grew by almost 12% last year, the second-straight year of double-digit growth. Industry proponents say Michigan must invest more heavily in trails, public lands and outdoor-related businesses, but state officials are expecting a slowdown next year as a pandemic-era boom subsides.

NOTES

ROSEVILLE TEACHERS RECEIVE MSGCU GRANTS ROSEVILLE — Michigan Schools and Government Credit Union recently announced its 2023 Classroom Cash Grants recipients, which included teachers from the Roseville Community Schools district.

Kaiser Elementary School teacher April Clos, Roseville Middle School teacher Maryann Smith and Roseville High School teacher Keith Silage all received grants. Each teacher received a grant worth up to $750 to help implement innovative learning experiences designed to promote students’ exploration, independent thinking and problem-solving. Teachers submitted project ideas in math, science, literacy, social and emotional learning, and physical education.

Classroom Cash Grants winners were determined based on total votes cast by students, parents, colleagues, family members and friends during an 11-day public online voting campaign. MSGCU awarded more than $45,000 to 64 educators from 54 schools across the metro Detroit area. The Classroom Cash Grants initiative has funded nearly 1,200 projects since it launched 18 years ago.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS MAKE FOOD DONATION

FERNDALE BAND TAKES 2ND IN STATE FINALS

FERNDALE — The Ferndale High School Marching Band finished second in its division at the Michigan Competing Band Association State Championship.

The state finals were held Nov. 4 at Ford Field, where the Golden Eagle Marching Band competed in the Flight IV division. The band’s performance consisted of songs from Coldplay, Beethoven, Dr. Dre, The Weeknd, Lizzo, Pachelbel and Daft Punk, the school’s website said.

The band’s performance was graded 82.35, which finished second to Lakeshore High School in Stevensville’s first-place finish of 84.15.

COMMERCE TOWNSHIP — The Walled Lake Central student council delivered items from its canned food drive to the Hospitality House Food Pantry Nov. 11. According to a press release, Walled Lake Central’s Canned Food Drive is the largest donation the Hospitality House receives each year. The Hospitality House Food Pantry is located at 2075 E. West Maple Road, B204, in Commerce Township.

‘Talley’s Folly’ set to run at Inspired Acting Company WALLED LAKE — The Inspired Acting Company is scheduled to run the PulitzerPrize-winning play “Talley’s Folly” Dec. 1-17.

The play, by Lanford Wilson, is described as a romantic comedy that tackles issues ranging from antisemitism to coping with trauma.

According to a press release, the play was written in 1979 and unfolds against the backdrop of a dilapidated and forgotten boathouse on the Talley farm on the Fourth of July, 1944, with D-Day having taken place the month prior.

“The backdrop of the war helps raise issues of patriotism, capitalism and anti-Semitism,” the release states. “But it’s also a love story, where the characters grapple with issues of love, identity, and the courage to embrace the unknown. The play takes place in one act with no intermission, set in ninety-seven minutes of real time, with no set change. Lanford Wilson’s masterful storytelling weaves a rich tapestry of emotions and cultural nuances that resonate with audiences to this day.”

Performances are scheduled to take place at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. Sundays.

General admission tickets cost $35, or $30 for those under 30 and over 65.

To purchase tickets, visit inspired acting.org or call (248) 863-9953.

EE W E H T F O E CRIM • K E E W E H E OF T M I R C • K E E THE W Police arrest suspect who allegedly stole nitrous oxide

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 5:25 p.m. on Nov. 5, a report was made about a retail theft that occurred on the same day in the 28000 block of Harper Avenue.

Upon arrival, an officer spoke with the caller, an employee, who stated he had multiple pictures of the suspect vehicle and its license plate. The suspect had come into the store twice that day. The first time, he purchased a canister used to generate whipped cream with nitrous oxide gas, worth around $100.

The second time he came in, he stole another canister and walked out without paying. The employee said this suspect has stolen from them in the past.

The officer spoke to the owner over the phone who stated he wanted to prosecute the suspect since he didn’t listen to his previous warnings. The officer told the owner to save the photos and security footage for detectives. Another officer spoke briefly with the suspect over the phone.

A sergeant was able to locate the suspect at an apartment complex. He was parked behind the buildings. The two officers could see the suspect, a 45-year-old man, sitting in the driver’s side, apparently inhaling nitrous oxide. The vehicle was locked, and he was told multiple times to unlock it.

The suspect continued inhaling and refused to open the door.

Eventually the suspect opened the door but refused to get out of the vehicle. An officer took the canister out of the suspect’s hands. The suspect grabbed onto the steering wheel at the same time and refused to exit the vehicle as another officer tried to pull the suspect out of the driver’s side.

A struggle ensued before the officers and sergeant were able to get the suspect out of the car, into handcuffs and into the rear seat of a police car without further incident. The suspect’s vehicle was impounded. The vehicle next to the suspect’s vehicle was scratched and the owner was notified and gave officers their information for insurance purposes.

On the way to the police station, the suspect was informed multiple times he was no longer welcome at the business and that he would be charged for trespassing if he showed up. The suspect reportedly said he understood.

Eastpointe police search for missing memorial bench

EASTPOINTE — Eastpointe police have issued an alert for a memorial bench that was stolen. The wooden bench has black bars on the side and is engraved with the line, “DONATED IN HONOR OF DR. BETSY COVILLE & HER BELOVED DOG CAMO.” The incident occurred on Nov. 7, around

midnight. A light-colored Mercury Grand Marquis was traveling west on Collinson Avenue toward Kelly Road and stopped briefly next to the south side of the property at 21300 Kelly Road. The vehicle then turned to face east, toward Beaconsfield Avenue.

The suspect then exited the vehicle, walked over to the bench, picked it up and placed it in the trunk before driving away eastbound on Collinson Avenue.

Vehicles do burnouts in parking lot

STERLING HEIGHTS — Police got a tip the night of Nov. 4 that a bunch of cars were allegedly doing burnouts in a parking lot in the 2000 block of Metropolitan Parkway, east of Dequindre Road. When police arrived, witnesses at the lot reportedly said the vehicles had already taken off.

Cards taken

GROSSE POINTE WOODS — An unknown suspect is said to have stolen a credit card and a Sam’s Club membership card from the phone case of a customer after the customer dropped her phone while shopping at the Kroger store at 20422 Mack Ave. at around 10:40 a.m. Nov. 6.

The customer said she checked with employees at the customer service desk to see if anyone had turned in a phone, but at the time, no one had. Later on, the customer told police she received a call from a Kroger employee telling her that her phone had been returned by an unknown man to a worker collecting carts in the parking lot.

The customer said that when she got her phone back, the cards were missing, and someone had made unauthorized purchases at Sam’s Club using her membership card and debit card. The customer contacted her bank to have the credit card canceled.

Police assist neighboring department

GROSSE POINTE CITY — Officers in Grosse Pointe City were called to the 1200 block of Whittier Road at around 2:30 a.m. Nov. 7 to assist officers in Grosse Pointe Park as they searched for and subsequently arrested larceny from auto suspects in the area, a police report states.

Jewelry stolen from hotel room

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 8:29 a.m. Nov. 8, officers were dispatched to the Hampton Inn, 51620 Shelby Parkway, on a larceny report. Upon arrival, officers spoke to the caller, who stated that she had spent the night at the hotel, as she was in town for work. When she went to check out, she noticed some of her jewelry was missing from her room. The jewelry was valued at $550. The Shelby Township Police Department’s detective bureau was investigating.
