CHIPPEWA VALLEY UNITED HOCKEY FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS

Harrison Township trustees move on spillway bridge project HARRISON TOWNSHIP — The Harrison Township Board of Trustees took the first step toward making a Clinton River Spillway pedestrian bridge a reality at its Feb. 13 meeting. Trustees voted to apply for a Southeast

Michigan Council of Governments Transportation Alternatives Program grant to help build the combination pedestrian bridge and fishing pier, and they want to seek out other funding sources for the project. “This is a long time coming,” Trustee Brian Batkins said. “I close my eyes every time I see someone walking across (the existing) bridge. It’s a scary situation.”

The TAP grant is expected to cover $1,108,325 of the project costs, about 46% of the estimated total of $2,411,231. The township has also pledged $400,000 for the project with an expected match from the Macomb County Department of Roads. The township’s portion would be covered with American Rescue Plan Act and Downtown Development Authority funds.

Township Supervisor Ken Verkest speculated that a donation of $502,906 from the Ralph C. Wilson Foundation will come to help move the project along. “We’re getting positive feedback from Ralph C. Wilson Foundation, but (there are) a lot of moving parts so hopefully they all fall into place,” Verkest said. “But a big step of See BRIDGE on page 4A

WARM WEEKEND DOESN’T STOP ANNUAL MOUNT CLEMENS ICE SHOW BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candnews.com

MOUNT CLEMENS — The sun was high and bright over the weekend of Feb. 10-11, but shining rays and warm temperatures did little to stop the annual tradition of the Mount Clemens Ice Carving Show on Super Bowl weekend. Originally held nearly two decades ago, the ice show and associated chili cookoff were meant to give incoming sports fans a reason to visit Mount Clemens during the weekend of 2006’s Super Bowl XL. “We were chosen to be a ‘Super City.’ We had to come up with events and activities for the guests to come (see) that were staying in Detroit or the suburbs,” said Michelle Weiss, Mount Clemens Downtown Development Authority DDA marketing and events coordinator. Out of this need for events came the Fire and Ice Chili Cook-off and the ice See ICE SHOW on page 8A

HENRY FORD MACOMB SEEKING LOCAL ART FOR EXPANSION

Commission tackles water topics, holds CDBG public hearing

BY DEAN VAGLIA

dvaglia@candgnews.com

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — So many different things make up a hospital. You’ll find doctors, nurses, patients, equipment and furniture, but also art. And if you are in need of a lot of art in a little time, where is a better place to start looking than in your own backyard? That’s the idea behind a new search for art at Henry Ford Health’s Macomb Hospital. The regional hospital chain is partnered with the Mount Clemens-based Anton Art Center to facilitate an open call for local artists to submit their work to be featured on its walls. The call comes as the Clinton Township hospital nears the expected summer 2023 finishing date on its new 225,000-square-foot, five-story, 160-room tower. It is not slated to open until 2024, giving the hospital time to get everything into place. Henry Ford Health has worked to make the expansion relevant to Macomb County patients, and the call to buy local art is a rather unique step to this end. “Doing an open call is something that is a common practice within arts organizations,” said Megan Winkel, curator of art and healing arts program manager for Henry Ford Health. “There are a lot of artists that See ART on page 13A

MOUNT CLEMENS — Water and money were the talk of the town in Mount Clemens as the City Commission handled each subject at its Feb. 6 meeting. The subject of water first came up as the city accepted a $416,802 Drinking Water Asset Management grant through the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy. DWAM grants are used to help water systems come into compliance with the state’s revised lead and copper rule to manage the content of those metals in all tap water systems within Michigan. “The funds will be used for water service material investigation, the gate valve turning program and a 25% reimbursement for the new Vactor (vacuum sewer cleaning) truck scheduled to be delivered in June 2023,” said Gregg Shipman, interim city manager of Mount Clemens.

Water service material investigation involves going to 360 randomly selected homes within Mount Clemens and accessing their water stop box in order to determine what materials are used within it, as per the lead and copper rule. Homes selected for the testing are notified by a letter. Immediately following the acceptance of the DWAM grant, commissioners voted on a resolution urging Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner Jim Nash to cut down on combined sewer overflows and discharges into Macomb County waterways and Lake St. Clair. The passing of the resolution sees Mount Clemens join a number of Macomb County communities critiquing the lack of stormwater retention in Oakland’s George W. Kuhn Retention Treatment Basin that has eroded the banks of Macomb’s County’s Red Run Drain and left sewage waste along county waterways. See WATER on page 10A

that is to get this grant in with SEMCOG.” Currently, the only way to cross the spillway at the waterfront is by going across the Jefferson Avenue bridge, which is primarily designed for automobile traffic and lacks any true pathway for nonmotorized traffic.

CDBG fund allocation

The trustees also voted to put federallysourced and county-distributed Community Development Block Grant funds toward the township’s in-house transportation service. Two nonprofit organizations — Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers and Care House — had requested funds. Harrison Township was granted $17,750 through the CDBG program, ac-

cording to Township Clerk Adam Wit. Verkest spoke at great length about how the township has historically decided to use CDBG funds on the in-house senior transportation shuttle due to the shuttle operations cost exceeding the provided CDBG funds amount as well as the belief that putting the money toward the shuttle would help the same group of people as giving it to a nongovernmental organization would. “In essence, our philosophy is that if we reassign some of the (CDBG funds) to another charity, we’re in essence taking tax dollars from our program,” Verkest said Verkest said this has been the de facto Board of Trustees practice for over a decade and expressed a measure of sympathy for the organizations that spoke during the public hearing. Trustees also applied for two CDBG brick-and-mortar projects to line sewers within the township.

Parks-related discussions dominate Clinton Township meeting BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — The Clinton Township Board of Trustees had parks and recreation on their minds at its Feb. 13 meeting. While not the only subject members of the board spoke about, discussions and votes related to parks and recreation kept popping up throughout the meeting. The first such item on the agenda concerned amendments to the Department of Public Services’ parks capital outlay budget for 2022-2023. Amendments brought to the board were for the purpose of aligning the expenses for projects with the fiscal year they were accrued in. A total of $348,000 in expenses were added to the fiscal year 2022-2023 budget. Next, the board approved a request from the Department of Public Services to apply for a Southeast Michigan Council of Governments Green

Stormwater Infrastructure Grant to improve the parking lots at Joy Boulevard Park. Currently, the parking lot has potholes and cracking asphalt. “This grant will provide funding related to the pavement reduction and stormwater improvements for the Joy Park parking lot improvements that will be budgeted for next year,” Township Clerk Kim Meltzer said. “The grant will provide funding that will supplement green infrastructure related features for the proposed parking lot improvements.” The board then voted to award Detroit-based Decima LLC the contract to build an addition to the Neil Reid Park comfort station for $212,000, paid for with a combination of Community Development Block Grant funds and general fund money. The addition will include a handicap-accessible bathroom and storage space. Finally, the board tabled a vote on a request to allow the new Quinn Road Tar Heels youth footSee PARKS on page 7A Photo by Patricia O’Blenes

ball team to use the fields at Prince Drewry Park for practice. Although the board was excited about this potential use, representatives from the Clinton Township Cowboys, a fellow and established youth sports program, spoke up about already using the field and that there is not enough space in the park for both teams to share. The discussion was tabled to allow for representatives from both programs to speak with Township Supervisor Robert Cannon and other interested board members to find a solution that works. “What a nice problem to have,” Cannon said. “Two groups of people who want to help our kids in athletics. Now we’ve got to find a spot for them.”

Heritage Estates policy changes

On Feb. 13, the Board of Trustees voted 6-1 to implement an updated rental rate and occupant preference policy for Heritage Estates Senior Apartments. The updates are the first major overhaul since 2010 and were crafted with factors like inflation in mind. Changes include increasing the mini-

Kelly Road repair allocation

Trustees voted to amend the township’s Capital Improvement Revolving Fund to include $205,952 that will be used to cover the township’s cost responsibility for repairs to Kelly Road from 14 Mile Road to South Nunneley. The township’s portion of the cost is 5% of the total cost, with Fraser picking up 5%, the Macomb County Department of Roads handling 10% and federal funding covering the remaining 80%.

mum age for residents to 62, allowing for newer residents to have higher rents than existing ones, adding annual cost of living increases with caps and setting an applicant preference that prioritizes existing township residents, former residents and then those who have not lived in Clinton Township. Trustee Mike Keys provided the lone vote against the new policies. “I do just have a concern about raising the rent on some of our most vulnerable residents during a time where we talk about inflation being so high, and then also setting it so that increase goes into effect automatically on their renewal,” Keys said. “That to me is a little troublesome.”

sculpture show, as well as catered tailgating outside the Anton Art Center. The Emerald Theater also hosted an event at the Emerald Theater. As the big game came and the Pittsburgh Steelers left with the win, the ice show stuck around as a wintertime tradition in the Macomb County seat. Live carving and grand sculptures have stuck around, giving people from all over metro Detroit a reason to come out to Mount Clemens during the first weekend of February — even in a pandemic. “We felt that the ice show was something you could do outside, actually wearing a mask (to) have your face warm, and people were very eager to get out there,” Weiss said about the 2021 event. COVID did not stop the show, but recent events have caused a headache for the DDA-organized event. The NFL expanded its regular season from 17 weeks to 18 in 2021, pushing the Super Bowl — and the ice show’s festivities — back to the second weekend. Weather was a slight issue for the 2023 event, with the DDA and long-time carving partner Finesse Ice deciding to forego the usual Friday opening due to rainy conditions in the forecast. This year’s cook-off still took place on Thursday, Feb. 9. The 2022 show was also pushed back a day due to unfavor-

able conditions. Most people may be unable to keep an ice cube from melting on a chilly-but-sunny day, and the idea of keeping multiblock sculptures together is simply out of reach. But owner Jeff Wolf and the team at Finesse Ice have been carving blocks in unfavorable conditions for a while now — from blizzard snow to glaring sun — and they know a few tricks to keep blocks held together. One such trick involves using aluminum to create clear seams in the ice as well as coarsening parts of the ice where two blocks will be joined. “I’ve made these nail boards, and they have a bunch of screws in them that are real pointy,” Wolf said. “We scratch the surface and we put the two scratchy surfaces together, so that makes them hold up a little bit better in the sunlight.” Ice carvers employ other techniques and flourishes to make their carvings stand out. A vinyl graphic can be suspended in the ice as it freezes to give a bottle of whiskey its label, and lights can be strung on and around sculptures to make the piece more dynamic. Weiss has had much fun with those lights in the past. “I actually go through (the festival) at night,” Weiss said. “I keep the remote in my pocket and as I’m walking by, I can change them and people go, ‘Did you see that? It just changed. That wasn’t that color before.’” According to Wolf, over 60 sculptures were made for the 2023 show.

CDBG public hearing

The Feb. 6 meeting also served as the day for Mount Clemens’ Community Development Block Grant public hearing, where commissioners heard from representatives of five organizations seeking a share of the funds granted to the city by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and Macomb County’s Urban County Community Development Block Grant Cooperative program. With $13,700 at its disposal for allocation, the five organizations are requesting a combined $21,838. Countywide nonprofit Advancing Macomb requested $5,600 for its Breaking Barriers to Play initiative, a program that creates low-cost youth sports programs. “The program is built on the belief that every child — regardless of location, income or ability — should have access to fun, highquality recreation programming,” said Diane Banks, Advancing Macomb’s executive director. “It’s a cost-sharing approach to bring back in town for all youth and a win-win for municipalities and nonprofit organizations.” Care House, an organization that provides legal and treatment support for child survivors of physical and sexual abuse, requested $6,000 to help lower the cost of serving affected children and their families. CDBG funds reduce the cost of serving families from $678 to $78 for 10 families. “Our goal is to minimize trauma for child victims of abuse and to support the child victim and non-offending family members throughout the investigation and prosecution and beyond,” said Catalina Garvey, Care House operations coordinator. Turning Point, an organization that provides shelter and support for survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse, requested $2,500 to help with the costs of running the shelter. While the cost of one night at the shelter is $70, the CDBG support brings the

cost down to $25 a night. Mount Clemens’ contribution could help reduce costs for 100 nights. “The project is a multifaceted approach to ending the cycle of violence in families,” said Sharese Williams, Turning Point survivor empowerment case manager. “Turning Point’s two shelter case managers meet with every new survivor within 24 hours of their arrival to develop an individualized plan based on their goals.” Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers, an organization that helps senior citizens struggling to live on their own, requested $888 for its Safe at Home program. Safe at Home provides chore and housekeeping assistance for seniors at no cost to them. “We are requesting the CDBG funds to increase the number of low-income citizens we can reach to grow our program as well as coordinate the volunteers who do these services,” said Sheila McCann, Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers volunteer coordinator. Macomb County Rotating Emergency Shelter Team requested $3,780 to help run homeless shelters out of churches and provide shelter residents with assessments, referral assistance and casework to help residents overcome homelessness. Mount Clemens’ contribution would help cover 420 shelter nights at $9 per night. Hearts for Homes, an organization that seeks to end childhood homelessness in Macomb County through rental assistance, requested $2,500 to provide security deposit support. Up to $1,000 will be used to help at-risk families with their rent. The City of Mount Clemens Recreation Department requested $6,200 to help pay for senior programming. Of that amount, $1,000 will go to a senior concert, $2,000 will be used for luncheons and entertainment, $200 for professional music trivia and $3,000 to provide fitness instruction free to seniors. Commissioners will discuss and vote on the allocation of CDBG funds at the Tuesday, Feb. 21, meeting.

Employers, employees react to minimum wage court ruling BY BRENDAN LOSINSKI blosinski@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Michigan employers, tipped workers and those earning the minimum wage are reacting to a Michigan Court of Appeals ruling that affects how employees are paid. In a 3-0 decision issued Jan. 26, the Michigan Court of Appeals overturned a July 2022 Court of Claims ruling and declared that the Michigan Legislature lacked the constitutional authority to adopt and subsequently amend two 2018 ballot initiatives. One would have increased the minimum wage to $12 per hour in 2023 and increased tipped wages to the full minimum wage. The other would have enacted one of most sweeping paid sick leave laws in the country, thereby requiring nearly every business across the state to make significant changes to their paid time off policies and procedures. Vivian Smith is a 28-year-old from Detroit and a member of Fight for 15, a group which seeks a $15 an hour minimum wage. She has worked as a cook at a McDonald’s

“I feel like the economy is getting worse and $13 is not enough. I am working so hard in the fast food industry, we do everything in the store, we do it well and we deserve better pay.” — Vivian Smith, Member of Fight for 15 for five years and makes $10 per hour, which she said is barely enough to cover rent and her other bills. She believes that workers need increases in the minimum wage in order to make a living wage that matches how hard they work. “I feel like the economy is getting worse and $13 is not enough. I am working so hard in the fast food industry, we do everything in the store, we do it well and we deserve better pay,” Smith said. Marty Knollenberg is a former Michigan state representative and the owner of the Sedona Taphouse restaurant in Troy. He said he was relieved after the Court of Appeals ruling, saying that a different result could have been detrimental to businesses and, by extension, their customers. “Obviously, this is good news for restaurant owners, for our services and for our guests in the short term,” he said. “I am happy with this decision. The other side is

going to appeal, so we will have to wait to see what that appeal will look like and if the (Michigan) Supreme Court will take it up.” The more bitter point of contention was the subject of changing the laws regarding the tip credit. Knollenberg said that eliminating tip credit could mean radically higher operating costs of businesses like restaurants and actually mean less pay for employees at establishments where they generally receive high amounts from tips. “What happened was that a ballot initiative (was proposed) to increase the minimum wage took place and it also could affect the tip credit,” he said. “Such measures try to bundle multiple issues on one proposal. Most people wouldn’t be aware that increasing the minimum wage would also change how the tip credit works. Restaurant owners can explain to people (about) this tip credit or as I would call it, a ‘tip wage.’ (It) is a lower wage, which is $3.84 per hour, but

that is offset by the tips they receive. If they aren’t making at least $10.10 an hour, the employer has to make up that difference. Nobody is making less than $10.10 per hour in my restaurant. I don’t know what problem they are trying to solve.” Rogers countered that businesses have a responsibility to pay their employees a fair wage and if they are unable to do so, they are already failing. “They shouldn’t be in business if they can’t pay us what we are asking for,” she said. “The economy is going up and they are not paying us the amount we need even though we are working hard. I do five things at work and get the customers out fast and sometimes I even stay after my shift is over.” On Jan. 1, 2023, Michigan’s minimum wage rate increased from $9.87 to $10.10 per hour as set by Michigan’s Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act of 2018 establishing the annual schedule of increases. The increase to $13.03 for regular employees and $11.73 for tipped employees could still be appealed. Call Staff Writer Brendan Losinski at (586) 498-1068.

are familiar with that process, but typically, it is for temporary exhibitions. It is really allowing us to reach more artists. “If you’re an artist that is looking to sell your work or get them into a collection like Henry Ford’s and you don’t know someone who is working on the curatorial team, there really is no clear or transparent path to being able to get your work there,” Winkel said. By going with the open call process through the Anton Art Center, Henry Ford Macomb is able to reach a wider pool of artists rather than buying from galleries and other means. Artists are also able to have confidence knowing their acceptance into the collection comes with compensation. “Often, if we were putting on an exhibit, whether or not somebody gets compensated for their artwork is questionable,” said Phil Gilchrist, executive director of the Anton Art Center. “It depends on whether they win an award, if we have prize money for those awards or if somebody comes in and purchases the artwork that is on display. But this Henry Ford partnership is explicitly for the purchase of artwork, and that’s really unique. If they select 50 works, 60 works, 70 works, that’s work they’re actually purchasing. And so that’s really a great way that artists are able to earn some income here. Supporting artists is important. Supporting local artists is important. The fact that this major hospital system is looking very specifically to purchase these artworks is an incredible display of support for the local arts community.” There are few restrictions on what Henry Ford is looking for in the art. “Obviously, this is for a healthcare environment, so we are looking for artwork that generally promotes a healing environment,” Winkel said. “I am really looking to tap into as many different expressions of that as pos-

sible, because ultimately the goal ... we as a healthcare organization want people to feel comfortable and welcome as soon as they come through the door. We know that the care experience is more than just what is happening inside the clinic spaces.” Winkel says all subject matter is welcome — abstract art is welcome as much as landscapes — as well as all kinds of artists at different stages of their careers, from college students to retirees creating art as a hobby. The Anton Art Center’s involvement in the project is to help get as many artists involved as possible. The center has handled open calls for galleries and contests but has not handled a call on behalf of another organization. “This is something of a new partnership for us,” Gilchrist said. “When the hospital approached us with this proposal it sounded like a really unique opportunity to help give local artists a platform in a major health care system in this area, and that was an opportunity we really wanted to be involved in. We were really thankful that the hospital thought of us to help with that.” Winkel is ultimately the person who decides which art is officially considered — making sure the works are thematically suitable for a hospital, as well as able to be installed on site — but purchasing the pieces comes down to several people and groups. Hospital administration, interior design and facilities managers and a patient and family advisory council will all weigh in when deciding which of Winkel’s curated selections will make it into the expansion. “A lot of people get to look at it, but it really is all starting with curatorial vision so that the work that is selected all presents a cohesive collection,” Winkel said. Those interested in learning more about the call for art can visit theartcenter. org/artist-opportunities. Submissions closed on Monday, Feb. 20.

‘IT’S BEEN A REALLY FUN YEAR’ BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

MACOMB COUNTY — The 2022 hockey season didn’t play out in the favor of the teams representing Macomb Dakota High School and Chippewa Valley High School, but there was a distinct difference for both. Dakota struggled with an 8-15 season, and Chippewa Valley didn’t even have a team to put on the ice. The schools may be rivals on the gridiron, but in their first year as a united hockey team, they’ve become a family. “It’s been a really, really good experience,” Chippewa Valley United coach Jim Andonoff said. “The way we designed the jerseys, we have a logo with both schools. Obviously, each player has loyalties to each school, but we come together as a school.” The athletic directors from the respective schools met and came to the decision to combine the teams to form Chippewa Valley United. Fast forward to winter 2023, and Chippewa Valley United sits in first place of the Macomb Area Conference Red division. Opening the season 3-3, Chippewa Valley United has gone 14-3 in their last 16 games, including a seven-game winning streak as of Feb. 15. Chippewa Valley United is young on paper, and the growing pains showed early — and still show at times — but senior forward Anthony Paperi said there was one game that brought the team together. “Stoney Creek. It was our first game when he (Evan Johnston) joined the team, and we were down 5-1, and then we came back and made it 5-4, and then they went up 7-4,” Paperi said. “With six minutes left, we came back and scored three to take it to overtime, and then we won it in overtime. That’s when we kind of knew we had a good team.” A win over Rochester Hills Stoney Creek (15-7-1), currently in first place in the Oakland Activities Association White, would bring any team together, but the seniors leaders have been efficient in that department as well. Led by senior forwards Paperi and Johnston, Chippewa Valley United’s offensive attack has worn down opponents, averaging over four goals per game this season. Johnston (20) and Paperi (17) lead the team in goals this season while Paperi (18), Johnston (10), senior Shane Stone (16) and sophomore Kevin Dolney (10) each have 10-plus assists on the season.

Johnston, along with Paperi and Stone, has stepped into a mentor role for the younger skaters. “It’s been cool to help them get better and see them progress throughout the year,” Johnston said. Sophomore forward Christian Pieknik has tallied nine goals and seven assists while senior forward Kaden Jackson has added nine goals and six assists on the year. Pieknik is one of six Chippewa Valley High School players on the team alongside senior defenseman Devyn Guptil, sophomore defenseman Luke Butina, sophomore forward Aiden Hardy, sophomore forward Ethan Stabnick and sophomore forward Stefan Milenkov. Andonoff said the team’s aggressiveness on defense has been its biggest asset on the offensive end. “Our game plan is to create havoc for the opposing defenseman in the offensive zone so that we can create more scoring opportunities for us,” Andonoff said. One player that has caused havoc for Chippewa Valley United this season has been junior forward Karson Schriner. Tallying eight goals and nine assists and being the team leader in penalty minutes this season, Schriner’s aggressive-yet-gritty play has played a key factor in their success. “Karson plays with a little chip on his shoulder, but honestly some of the penalties are just the way the game is changing,” Andonoff said. “He just plays intensely. If they have the puck and he wants it, he’s going to use his body to get it.” While the junior and senior class have made their presence felt this season, it’s been Chippewa Valley United’s sophomore class that has significantly progressed. Dolney, Pieknik and Butina have provided efficient contributions in their respective roles, and sophomore defensemen Austin Bartsch and Andrew Johnston have progressed with each game. Sophomore Zack Wiggington has represented the young core in the net, earning a 5-0 record and a 2.40 goals against average this season. Andonoff said the confidence of the sophomores has grown each game. “They go through their ups and downs, and that’s just part of being younger,” Andonoff said. “I think we’ve seen the progression and seen the younger guys play out of their minds; they’re playing really, really well.” Senior goalkeeper Joshua Sosnowski

has been the primary keeper for Chippewa Valley United, holding an 11-4 record with a .912 save percentage. Behind their impressive offense and their young, yet effective defense, Chippewa Valley United’s transformation this season

will be one to keep an eye on during the state tournament. “The big thing for us is we want to win our region, and we want to get down there and win a state title,” Andonoff said.

Spotlight on business... The desire to help people was the original reason that Michael Ales got into the insurance business. “I began at Health Markets Insurance Agency to assist others. Health insurance is one of the biggest purchases a person can make, and the wrong choice can really hurt you. I do my best to limit a person’s risk,” said Ales. Having been a multimillion-dollar producer, Ales has extensive experience through over 20 years of work. He said his clients are loyal because he takes time to get to know them and provide objective guidance and solutions. “With a lot of business being done over the computer or phone, I’m still old school and like sitting down with my clients to understand their needs,” he noted. His primary focus is on the Medicare population, but he can handle any individual health need, which could include insurance for life, health, retirement and the long-term care needs of small businesses and middleincome families and individuals. “We even have PET insurance,” he said. He is a licensed health insurance agent and provides free policy reviews at any time. After open enrollment, there are specific, life-changing events that allow people to buy or make changes to the current coverage. Ales said he invites people to stop in for a free consultation at his office, located at 21370 Cass Ave. in Clinton Township, just west of Groesbeck, 7 a.m.-7 p.m. daily.

EE W E H T F O E CRIM • K E E W E H E OF T M I R C • K NEWSWORTHY E E OF THE W INCIDENTS REPORTED TO LOCAL POLICE, AS COMPILED BY C & G REPORTERS

Shoplifting suspect stuffs drone in pants

STERLING HEIGHTS — On the night of Jan. 22, police investigated a shoplifting incident involving multiple suspects allegedly concealing merchandise at the Walmart at 33201 Van Dyke Ave., near 14 Mile Road. Upon learning about the suspects from dispatch, police reportedly caught one running out of the store’s doors, arrested him and reportedly found a Taurus pistol in his possession. Police also learned that another suspect reportedly had hidden a $149 drone in his pants. However, the man dropped the drone when store staff stopped him near the front door, police said.

Police cite 2 for drive-thru disorderly conduct

STERLING HEIGHTS — At around 3 a.m. Jan. 21, police were notified that someone had hit a worker at a fast food restaurant at the corner of Mound Road and Metropolitan Parkway. Police dispatch reported hearing lots of screaming. When officers arrived at the scene, they found a silver Chrysler 300 leaving the restaurant’s parking lot, which matched a suspect vehicle description, so officers stopped it and talked to two occupants. A male occupant reportedly said the restaurant worker didn’t seem to understand him when he placed his drive-thru order, leading to an argument. The female occupant reportedly accused the worker of grabbing the man’s shirt and pulling him through the window. However, the worker reportedly said the man in the car climbed through the drive-thru window, and the female passenger followed and then allegedly grabbed and pulled the worker’s hair before other staff broke them up. After listening to other staff who witnessed the event, police reportedly issued disorderly conduct citations to the two car occupants.

Women refuse to pay for food

STERLING HEIGHTS — Police investigated an incident at a restaurant in the 33000 block of Van Dyke Avenue, near 14 Mile Road, Jan. 20. According to a restaurant manager, two women had allegedly eaten there for around an hour and wanted to leave without paying. Police spoke to a woman and her mother, and one of them reportedly said the food was unappetizing and old. One of the women also reportedly said she ate nothing. Police watched surveillance video and reportedly concluded that it was a civil matter and that police couldn’t force the women to pay. The women then reportedly left the restaurant.

Macomb County facilities van set on fire, suspect arrested

MOUNT CLEMENS — A Macomb County Facilities and Operations van was burned in a parking garage at around 2 a.m. Jan. 29. Deputies from the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office and Mount Clemens firefighters were dispatched to the parking garage the van was stored in, finding the 2005 Ford Econoline on fire. The fire was put out with only cosmetic damage to the parking structure, based on assessments from structural engineers dispatched to the scene. The van will be replaced in the future, and the site of the fire will be power washed once temperatures go above freezing. A 36-year-old Detroit man, Jessie Young, was arrested and charged with third-degree arson and fourth-degree arson. He faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. Young was arraigned by Judge Carrie Fuca in the 41B District Court on Jan. 30. His bail was set at $100,000 cash or surety, according to court records. Young’s attorney, Shawn Coppens, said Young has a history of mental health issues and he is working to get Young the help he needs. At a probable cause conference Feb. 7, the district court referred Young for a competency evaluation. Investigators did not address a possible motive for Young’s alleged actions.

Items stolen while homeowner on vacation

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — In the early hours of Jan. 6, a break-in allegedly occurred when the home’s occupant was on vacation in Jamaica. The victim told Clinton Township police that she was first notified of the break-in when she saw fraud alerts for credit cards and noticed three people walking around her North Nunley Road home through surveillance camera footage. The victim said an $80,000 engagement ring, a safe with $30,000 in Pandora jewelry, seven boxes of Louis Vuitton purses estimated at $150,000, a Cartier watch, and Xbox and Nintendo Switch video game consoles were stolen, according to the report. She believes her husband may be responsible for the break-in due to a bad divorce, though the report lists no suspects.

Pizza thefts reported

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — On Jan. 20, Clinton Township police received two calls to Eureka Drive properties for malicious activity targeting pizza delivery drivers. At noon, a Domino’s delivery driver was approached by two men who asked, “Where’s Mike?” The driver told police she told the men she did not

NOTES

know Mike and went to the delivery address, where she was told they did not order pizza. The driver informed police another Domino’s driver was robbed the night before on an order to that address. Around 4:30 p.m., a Sorrento’s delivery driver brought pizza to a Eureka Drive home and was approached by two men asking if he worked for Sorrento’s. One of the men implied they had a gun before the driver was pushed. His bag was stolen, and the suspects ran off. One suspect was arrested after a police dog was brought in for tracking.

Driver of alleged stolen vehicle arrested

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 6:07 a.m. on Jan. 26, St Clair Shores officers were dispatched to assist the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office with a stolen vehicle report in the 3000 block of Harbor Place Drive. A suspect allegedly led the police on a chase in the stolen vehicle and later on foot when the vehicle got stuck in the snow trying to avoid police at a dead end. The suspect was apprehended and taken into custody. It was later discovered that the suspect had an outstanding warrant for absconding parole.

Man reports assault, attempted robbery

ST. CLAIR SHORES — An officer was doing a plaza check when he was alerted to an attempted robbery in the 20000 block of Eight Mile Road at 7:27 p.m. on Jan. 20. The victim, a 70-year-old male, said he saw two suspects standing near an entrance. When he got closer, the suspects allegedly demanded he hand over his car keys. The victim started to run toward the entrance when he tripped and fell, knocking out one of his teeth and hitting his chin. One of the suspects allegedly pepper sprayed him before they ran off. The victim reportedly went inside the building before the staff flagged the officer down. A woman said she saw the two suspects as she was entering the building and thought they looked suspicious but did not tell the staff.

Retail fraud suspects sought

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — Police were looking for two unknown suspects after they reportedly stole approximately 10 gallons of windshield wiper fluid — valued at $4.55 each, for a total loss of $40.55 — from the Shell gas station at Mack Avenue and Moross Road at around 3:15 a.m. Jan. 30. The gas station attendant told police that one of the suspects loaded the jugs of windshield wiper fluid through the passenger window of a silver four-door Ford sedan, possibly a 2003 Contour. When the gas station attendant went outside to confront the male

suspect, the male suspect jumped into the back seat and the female driver took off, heading north on Moross into Detroit. Police said the suspects are facing possible third-degree retail fraud charges.

Suspect sought in vehicle theft

GROSSE POINTE WOODS — An unknown female suspect known only as “Liz” to the victim is said to have stolen a rented white 2021 Toyota 4Runner from the victim in the Grosse Pointe Woods Kroger parking lot on Mack Avenue at around 1:26 p.m. Jan. 25, according to a police report filed Jan. 30. The victim told police he knew the suspect “from around” and picked her up from the Houston/Whittier/Somerset area in Detroit in order to give her a ride to her friend’s home on Harper Avenue. The victim told police he told the suspect that he needed to stop at the grocery store to pick up a few items before dropping her off. He left the suspect inside the running vehicle while he was in the store, and when he returned to the parking lot, he said he could find neither “Liz” nor the vehicle.

Patio furniture taken

GROSSE POINTE PARK — Police said an unknown suspect or suspects stole patio furniture and an electric light pole from the exterior of a residence in the 1000 block of Wayburn Street between the hours of 2 p.m. and 7:35 p.m. Feb. 4.

Speeder arrested for possession of drugs

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — Police pulled over a 27-year-old Grosse Pointe Farms man in the area of Lincoln Road and Mack Avenue at 12:50 p.m. Jan. 29 after the driver failed to stop at a stop sign, had no visible license plate and was driving 52 mph in a 35 mph zone. Police said they found a license plate in the back window — which was covered with snow — but it belonged on a different vehicle and had expired in August 2022. The driver told police the license plate was from a different truck he had owned in the past; he said he had purchased the truck he was now driving about six months ago but never transferred the registration. The driver also admitted his vehicle was uninsured, police said. Police said they saw clear plastic packages inside the truck with white residue, metal scrubbing pad material and burned pieces of tinfoil — all consistent with drug use. Police also found a tiny clear plastic bag containing an unidentified white powder; police said the bag was too small to contain a coin or stamps and was consistent with single use narcotics packaging. When asked about the powder, the driver said it was “probably” Fentanyl. The suspect was arrested for possession of narcotics and his vehicle was impounded.
