NEW CITY COUNCIL MEETS, EXPL RE COOL SKI SPOTS IN SELECTS ITS OFFICERS NORTHERN MICHIGAN

C & G NEWSPAPERS FEATURE SERIES ABOUT NORTHERN MICHIGAN DESTINATIONS FOR READERS TO EXPLORE

BY GREG TASKER

WARREN — Newly elected Warren City Council members had their first council meeting Nov. 28 and voted in new officers. Angela Rogensues, who holds one of the two at-large council seats, was voted council president by her peers. This is her second term on the council. In her first term, she was not an officer. Melody Magee, representing District 1, was voted council vice president. This is Magee’s first term on the council, and she makes history as the city’s first Black council member. Mindy Moore, who is now serving in her third term, will resume her role as council secretary, which she held during her second term from 2019 to 2023. Because of Moore’s experience, some thought she would be the next council president. “It (the secretary) is the most involved position on council,” Moore explained as to why she prefers this role. “And I think that’s where I can use my expertise and experience in the best way to help the council, especially the new

NORTHERN MICHIGAN — Michigan skiers and riders — not to mention those of us more interested in apres-ski activities — have more to look forward to than snow this winter, especially in the northwestern corner of the lower peninsula. This corner of Michigan is home to more than a dozen downhill ski areas, including fourseason resorts, day areas and city-owned recreation spots. Some have already been blasting slopes with man-made snow, taking advantage of colder temperatures. Several ski areas planned to open — at least partially — last week. First weekend in December These northwestern Michigan ski destinations range from Caberfae Peaks in Cadillac, one of the 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 DLine bubble chairlift is a first in the Midwest.

HOUSE REPUBLICANS CRITICIZE GOVERNOR’S CALL FOR SPECIAL ELECTION METRO DETROIT — Governor Gretchen Whitmer has issued a call for a special election to fill the Michigan House of Representatives seats vacated by newly elected Warren Mayor Lori M. Stone and Westland Mayor Kevin Coleman, who represented District 13 and District 25, respectively. In a letter to Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson on Nov. 22, the governor cited the Michigan Constitution and Michigan election law to support her call for a special primary election on Jan. 30, 2024, and a special election on April 16, 2024. “The Michigan Legislature had one of the most productive sessions in Michigan history thanks to Michiganders who elected leaders, like state representatives Coleman and Stone, to get things done on the issues that make a real difference in people’s lives,” See SEAT on page 5A

who represented District 4 from 2019 to 2023. “It was extremely positive in there,” Watts said. “I couldn’t believe it.” It was standing room only in the first-floor conference room. Supporters, colleagues, former and current City Council members, appointees from the previous administration — including Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer and Warren Fire Commissioner Wilburt “Skip” McAdams — as well as Stone’s family and friends were in attendance. The crowd reflected diversity, and there were people of all ages present. The crowd erupted in applause when Warren’s first woman mayor entered the room.

WARREN — Mayor Lori Stone’s ceremonial swearingin on Nov. 20 was a joyous, celebratory event where people gathered to support Warren’s new mayor. Excitement filled the air at City Hall, along with a palpable energy that could not be ignored, as people were seen throughout the room greeting each other with hugs, kisses, handshakes and smiles. Judge Steven Bieda of the 37th District Court officiated the ceremony. The official swearing-in was done earlier that day in the city clerk’s office. “There was a lot of positive energy in and around City Hall,” said former Warren City Councilman Garry Watts,

De La Salle falls to Muskegon 33-21 in state finals BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

DETROIT — Warren De La Salle has made making the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 2 state finals game look like an ordinary task the past seven seasons, reaching the finals six times, including four straight times with their appearance this year. The two-time defending state champions returned to Ford Field on Nov. 25 for the MHSAA Division 2 state championship game against Muskegon, a team De La Salle (11-3) bested 40-28 in Week 2 of this year, but it was Muskegon (12-2) with the upper hand this time around. “This has been a rough year in the fact that I think the expectations sometimes outlive the opportunity,” De La Salle coach Dan Rohn, a Muskegon

said Whitmer in a press release. “As we look ahead to 2024, these special elections will ensure that Michiganders in the 13th and 25th districts have representation in Lansing working for them as soon as possible. I look forward to working with the next representatives from these districts when voters elect them in the new year.” The filing deadline for interested candidates was 4 p.m. Monday, Nov. 27, which resulted in six candidates vying for the seat left by Stone in District 13. Three are Democrats: Lamar Lemmons, Suzanne Ostosh and Mai Xiong. Three are Republicans: Brandon Cumbee, Curtiss Ostosh and Ronald Singer. Candidates seeking to represent District 25 are Democrats Peter Herzberg, Melandie Yvonne Hines, Shannon Rochon, Andrea Rutkowski, and Layla Taha, and Republican Josh Powell. Republican state Reps. Ann Bollin of Brighton Township and Mike Harris of Waterford categorized the Democratic governor’s call for a special election as “rushed, not prioritizing the people,” and as not following the same precedent when Republican seats are vacated.

“This move should raise some eyebrows, especially given the precedent of scheduling elections differently based on what way these districts swing along party lines. When three Republican House seats were vacant in late 2021, the governor scheduled those special elections for March and May of 2022. Why the sudden rush to fill the latest vacancies?” Bollin stated in a written release. Harris expressed the additional toll it would take on the community. “Far too often, politicians in Lansing disregard local viewpoints and undermine community needs,” Harris said in a written release. “Scheduling special elections on irregular dates will cost local governments in Metro Detroit, and the chaos of overlapping voting periods will heap burdens on local clerks, the area residents who work the polls, and voters.” Harris added in the release, “The governor announced the special elections the day before the long Thanksgiving weekend, giving potential candidates only until Monday to file their paperwork.” Candidates winning the special elections for the Michigan House of Representatives seats in District 13 and District 25 will serve a partial term of office ending January 25, 2025.

council members and the new mayor coming in.” According to Moore, the council secretary has varying responsibilities which include but are not limited to oversight of the council office and personnel matters. The secretary makes the agenda, schedules committee of the whole meetings, special meetings and closed sessions. The secretary office also communicates with the administration on items they want on the agenda. In addition, those in this role monitor media for information, so people are recognized for their accomplishments in the community through council resolutions. Dave Dwyer, who holds the other atlarge seat, was elected assistant secretary. Dwyer was the top vote-getter in the election, which also makes him Warren’s mayor pro tem. Warren Mayor Lori Stone was in attendance and addressed the council during the audience comment portion of the meeting. “I am so proud to be here with you serving as a co-equal branch of governance. Having served in the legislative branch,

I have owned that house since the ’80s and I fell a bit behind,” said the owner of the property, George Dedeian, at the council meeting. “I’ll be happy to do what I need to do to get it off the nuisance abatement program.” “I brought this home up to council three years ago when I was on council,” said Garry Watts, who served on the Warren City Council from 2019 to 2013. “He (Dedeian) has done nothing to this home.” “There have been people who I communicate with up to today, who have moved out of that neighborhood because of that house,” Watts said. “I just urge (the) council to move on and make these neighbors whole.” The council voted 6-1 for the property to be demolished. Magee voted against the demolition. Call Staff Writer Gena Johnson at (586) 498-1069.

Volunteers are also needed in Clinton Township, Harrison Township, Warren and Sterling Heights. The Office of Senior Services runs 84 Meals on Wheels routes, each route requiring one volunteer a day. Hundreds of volunteers are needed to serve the about 1,700 seniors included in these routes.

“I’ve never seen so many people in here,” said Wesley Arnold, a longtime city historian. The ceremony began with the Pledge of Allegiance, led by the new mayor’s niece and nephew, Josefine Linares, 8, and Thomas Linares, 6. “It’s a new day. It’s a fresh breath. I think moving forward, we’re going to get a lot of things done. I have a lot of faith in Lori Stone,” Watts said. “I think she is going to surround herself with great people.” Stone thanked all in attendance. “I look around this room and see my village, my first teachers, my dad, who taught me the power of my voice and the courage to stand up for what I believe, and gave me the gift of unconditional love,” Stone said. Professional colleagues, personal friends and protective family members gave the audience personal insights about the mayor. Stone’s “village” spoke. Before entering politics, Stone was an educator for more than 14 years in the Fitzgerald Public Schools district. Rhonda Hawe, who served as the event’s emcee and is a member of the Stone transition team,

worked with Stone as a fellow fourth-grade teacher at Mound Park Elementary. Hawe shared what Stone would often say. “If you don’t like the way things are, then find a way to change it,” said Hawe. “That’s what she’s (Stone) doing.” Hawe said when she is challenged about what to do, she often thinks, “What would Lori do? And that is make a list and prioritize it, and just start at the top.” George Chapp, an executive board member and the committee chair of the Michigan Psychological Association, said, “Lori is a doer, a fighter and an empath.” A few of the mayor’s relatives also spoke. “Lori’s mother was my sister and best friend until she died when Lori was 16. From that time, I felt like I was Lori’s surrogate mother,” said Anne Hill. “I was always a little nervous when she (Stone) said she was going to run for office because I know how brutal campaigns can be,” said Hill, who is Stone’s aunt and godmother. “But I saw her rise above that and run a positive campaign.” “It takes a village, and we are Lori’s village,” said Tina Bray, Stone’s aunt. “After the primary we were told Lori wouldn’t win. She wasn’t well known. She didn’t have enough money and financial backing. People said she wouldn’t win if she ran a clean campaign.

She would have to play dirty. But that wasn’t Lori.” Everyone who spoke talked about Stone’s honesty, inclusion, energy and ability to listen to different points of view. “What you’ve got is someone who you don’t have to watch the till,” said Bill Mauro, Stone’s uncle. “She’s the most honest person I know. “For many years, we would discuss politics and I had a little different point of view, but we were always able to talk, work it out. She’s always listened to my point of view. I’d listen to hers and that’s a rare thing today,”

30009 Hoover Road Warren Michigan 48093

Mauro said. “I pretty much assure you that anybody can come in and express any opinion and they’re not going to get tossed out. They’re not going to have the police arrest them. She will listen.” Stone spoke of her focus to make Warren a better place to live, work and play, and in doing that, finding common ground among people. “For the third largest city in the state, we can do better,” said Joel Rutherford, chair of the Official Democratic Black Caucus of Macomb County. “Lori Stone in charge as mayor, we will do better.”

native, said. “I think people just expect us to be here every year, and this takes a lot of work. These guys are in the weight room in January, and we need to celebrate that, and our community needs to enjoy it. There’s no promises or guarantees we’re ever going to be back here, so we got to relish the moment and take advantage of those opportunities.” Muskegon senior quarterback M’Khi Guy threw for 159 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 247 yards and two touchdowns as Muskegon bested the Pilots 33-21. De La Salle stormed out the gate with a 21-7 lead at the half behind two rushing touchdowns from junior quarterback Sante Gasperoni and a 55-yard touchdown pass from Gasperoni to sophomore wideout Damion King IV, but it was all Muskegon from there. Guy, who opened the scoring for Muskegon on an 80-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter, evaded the De La Salle defense for a 52-yard touchdown run. Guy would then connect with senior wideout Destin Piggee for a 94-yard touchdown pass to tie it 21-21 with 7:11 left in the third quarter. “He’s (Guy is) an amazing football player, and we knew that,” Rohn said. “We seen him Week 2, and he’s been making plays for a long time. I have a great relationship with the family over there, and that kid, he’s special.” Muskegon’s offense was operating better than just about any school in the state entering the state finals, and they put their foot on the gas when it mattered most. “We wanted to play and showcase Muskegon football, and I knew De La Salle was going to bring everything they had,” Muskegon coach Shane Fairfield said. “Hats off to them because that first half, the defense for them was lights out.” Guy would find senior wideout

Da’Carion Taylor for a 23-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter, and senior running back Jakob Price would put the finishing touches on the win with a 12-yard touchdown run early in the fourth. De La Salle entered Muskegon with just over eight minutes left in the fourth quarter and trailing 33-21, but the Muskegon defense forced a turnover on downs at their own 26-yard line. “Second half, we just didn’t play well offensively,” Rohn said. “We put our defense out on the field way too much, and then our guys started guessing a little bit and started missing some run fits. When you give up 90-yard touchdowns in a game like this, it’s going to be a struggle.” Gasperoni finished with 249 yards passing and a touchdown along with 50 yards and two scores on the ground. Gasperoni had a tall task of taking over the role University of Cincinnati freshman quarterback Brady Drogosh excelled in as a two-time state champion at De La Salle, but Gasperoni held his own and shined for the Pilots this season. “I learned a lot of really building with the team and trying to be a leader, especially that I’m the quarterback, and just getting the bond together, seeing the mistakes, and seeing the defenses and stuff like that,” Gasperoni said. “It’s really just throughout the weeks and games progressing that really helped out a lot.” As Rohn said, there’s no promises when it comes to punching your ticket to the state finals, but De La Salle’s young squad this season will have another year under its belt as they head into the 2024 campaign ready to return to Ford Field. If this season left any indication, it’s that De La Salle is shaping up to have a strong squad next season with the core of its offense and defense returning. “I promise you we’ll be back,” Rohn said. “This group is young, this group is hungry, and we’re coming back here fighting.”

New board member appointed in Center Line Public Schools WARREN WOODS PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO NAME NEW BOARD MEMBER DEC. 11

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

WARREN/CENTER LINE — New Center Line Public Schools Board of Education Trustee Lauren Dickerson Robinson is ready to get started. At the board’s Nov. 27 meeting, members voted 5-0 to appoint Robinson to the board. Board Trustee Gary Gasowski was absent. On the morning of Nov. 29, Robinson took oath of office during a brief ceremony at the administration building. “I’m so excited for the opportunity. I’m truly honored to be appointed in this way,” Robinson said. “I know we’ve got work to do. I’m excited to learn from all the board members as well as bring knowledge to the table.”

The Center Line Public Schools Board of Education needed to fill a vacancy when Henry “Hal” Newnan was elected Nov. 7 to his first term on the Warren City Council in District 5. The Center Line vacancy Robinson was posted and three candidates submitted applications, including Robinson, former school board member Darrell Vickers and Kawsar Dewan. Public interviews were held at 6 p.m. Nov. 27, prior to the regular school board meeting, where the board members made their selection. Robinson is a parent in the district and has two sons: a kindergarten student who attends Peck Elementary and a 6-monthold baby. When she learned of the board See ROBINSON on page 19A

Remembering The Life Of

17A

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! 0423-2349

Ski

from page 1A

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 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. 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 ‘relive 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. The Treetops Resort in Gaylord is unveiling a state-of-the-art ski instruction program called Terrain Based Learning. That program is a process for teaching beginner skiers and snowboarders that uses purposebuilt snow features, helping novices learn the movements, sensations and body positioning needed for the sport. Treetops is the only ski area in Michigan offering the program. “We are so excited to offer this new way of learning to our guests. Our instructors are exclusively trained by the Snow Operating team who has trademarked the program. We can’t wait to see the smiles on the snow as kids and adults alike take their turn in the

vacancy, her husband, William Robinson Jr., encouraged her to apply. “He thought it would be a great way to get involved,” she said. “My family has a rich history of being in education in different ways.” That includes a grandmother who was an educator and a great-uncle who served on a school board in Erie, Pennsylvania. Robinson feels she will bring “a fresh set of eyes” to school issues and also appreciates the tenure of the current school board. “I know many have been on the board a long time, which is awesome. It is great to have consistency and experience,” she said. “The main thing is looking at different poli-

cies and procedures, figuring out what needs to be updated and amended. I’ll be looking at the budget and the best way to allocate funds for the district. We need to continue to make sure the buildings are safe and kept up.” Some of Robinson’s experiences include her past employment with an education company in which she worked with different school districts in the county and even Canada on technology projects. “It was a fun perspective seeing how different districts operate curriculum development and technology integration. I’ll bring that perspective on how we can use technology in the district,” she said. One topic Robinson feels strongly about is ensuring students know there are many opportunities available to them. “One major concern in general is what’s next for the kids after they graduate from

high school,” Robinson said. “Once they enter the world of work, what does it look like? There are so many options they can explore on their own.” That could include studying at a fouryear university, attending a technical school, applying to a trade school or starting their own business. Robinson would also like to see “a diverse pool of teachers with different perspectives” to help better prepare students when they go into the working world. “People grow up with different family structures,” she said. “They’re all human. They’re all important. They matter.” Robinson’s term is through Dec. 31, 2024. The position will be replaced by the individual elected to the position based on the November 2024 election results on Jan. 1, 2025. At last week’s school board meeting,

Robinson said she would run for the seat in the election.

Warren Woods Public Schools

The Warren Woods Public Schools Board of Education is seeking to fill a vacancy after current School Board President Jere Green announced his resignation Oct. 10. Green, who has served on the board 29 years, is moving out of the district. At the Nov. 20 school board meeting, the board interviewed the following five candidates: Jennifer Nitz, Jason Chamberlain, Marie Daleo, Michael Rose and Douglas Rivers. The school board is expected to appoint the new board member at the Dec. 11 meeting. The new member will serve his or her first meeting Jan. 22, 2024, and will serve until Dec. 31, 2024.

WARREN — Members of the De La Salle Collegiate football team and the city of Warren’s first responders share a common bond. They train hard, wear uniforms, prepare themselves mentally and work together as a team. The athletes wanted to thank the men and women of Warren’s police and fire departments for their dedication to the citizens, so on Nov. 17, they served them lunch, courtesy of Estia Greek Street Food in Warren. “We wanted to give back to the community,” player Joey Montilla said. “We always look forward to partnering with DLS and anyone in our community. Community relations are extremely important to us,” Jeffrey Middleton, who oversees the training division for the Warren Fire Department, said in a prepared statement. “The backbone of our operation is teamwork.” The team’s senior year players delivered takeout meals of lamb and chicken gyros

This doesn’t happen often. Little things like this make a difference. They’re very appreciative of this gesture.” Police officers and detectives thanked the athletes and coaches as they picked up their carry-outs. De La Salle Athletic Director and head football coach Dan Rohn said about 170 lunches were served. He added the event gave the team members a chance to bond. “I think it gives the guys a chance to be part of the community,” Rohn said. “It’s moments like this the kids will remember.” Lunch was held one day before De La Salle defeated Waterford Mott High School, 45-19, to advance to the Division 2 state finals Nov. 25 at Ford Field in Detroit.

De La Salle students had Nov. 17 off, and the players said delivering lunch motivated them to get moving. “We wanted to make sure we stayed on routine and had something to do as a team,” Bradley Zepp, a football captain, said. “We wanted to provide for the people that protect us,” said Kandakai Sherman, another football captain. “Some of the guys come to our football games and see us play. We just want to express our appreciation.” Sherman said the athletes are “super close.” “We all came together as freshmen,” he said. “We grew up with each other as we progressed through the football program. I definitely feel like this is a great team.” Muskegon defeated De La Salle 33-21 in the Division 2 state championship game. Located at 5753 12 Mile Road, Estia Greek Street Food is known for its Mediterranean cuisine, including gyros, salads, bowl dishes and soups. Co-owners Bryant Victorino and George Xenos were happy to provide meals to the first responders. “The police force and the fire department have the toughest job in the world,” Xenos said.

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.” Find Leaf and Bud on weedmaps.com or go to leafandbud.com for more about locations and products. 0404-2349

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.

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.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS MAKE FOOD DONATION

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.
