MOUNT CLEMENS — Anyone who has seen a Mount Clemens City Commission meeting in the past year knows who Erik Rick is. Introducing himself by his name and address, he has made good use of his allocated public comment minutes to speak on a variety of city issues. Starting in March, observers will get to see him on the other end of the exchange between city commissioners and members of the audience. “It feels good,” Rick said on becoming the newest member of the

HARRISON TOWNSHIP — Growing up in an Irish family, Deb McCombs-Kaiser always celebrated St. Patrick’s Day on March 17 with her immediate family.

Her mom, Patsy, often made a hearty meal of corned beef and cabbage or shepherd’s pie. After dinner it was time to meet up with the extended family to play games, visit and sing songs — some of them traditional Irish folk songs, of course.

HARRISON TOWNSHIP BOARD DISCUSSES SELFRIDGE SEWERS, METERS BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

HARRISON TOWNSHIP — Water was the main topic of the evening at the Feb. 27 Harrison Township Board of Trustees meeting, notably featuring the approval of a $31,000 sanitary sewer infrastructure, pump station and meter study for Selfridge Air National Guard Base.

Outlined by Wade Trim Associates Inc. and presented to the board by David Axtell, Harrison Township’s director of public services, the study aims to look into ways the township, as the base’s sanitary sewer provider, could improve services by replacing the decommissioned Building 501 wastewater treatment plant. Though retrofitting the building was determined to be infeasible, base and town-

ship engineers have come up with three plans for how to replace it. The first plan would have a townshipowned facility built outside the base adjacent to Building 501, transporting sewage beneath the Clinton River via a new force main. The second plan would retrofit Selfridge’s Building 40, currently a pump station, to pump water into the township system across the Clinton River, requiring

the construction of a new force main from Building 40 to a township facility on Chart Street, and a pump evaluation. The third plan would modify the existing Building 40 force main to connect to a township force main from the Bayhaven Pump Station, requiring a capacity study to make sure the township water system can handle the hydraulics of a conjoined force main.

Mount Clemens awards CDBG funds, sets roadwork agreement BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

MOUNT CLEMENS — The Mount Clemens City Commission had a light and quick meeting on Feb. 21, tackling two separate monetary items in under 20 minutes. First up was the allocation of the 2023 Community Development Block Grant funds. While five organizations came out on Feb. 6 to speak about why they should receive a cut of the city’s $13,700 in CDBG funds, the total amount was split between only two. An allocation of $8,100 was put toward the city’s senior center for activities, which was more than the $6,200 the Mount Clemens Recreation Department asked for earlier in February. Advancing Macomb received $5,600 — the exact amount it requested at the Feb. 6 meeting — to support the Breaking Barriers to Play

initiative, which provides youth recreation programs at the Cairns Community Center. The city also requested a $150,000 grant from the CDBG program to pay for a play structure at the Cairns Community Center. The city is unlikely to receive this grant, however, after receiving one in 2022. “I think it’s great that we came up with the community play structure at Cairns for the 150 ($150,000),” City Commissioner Laura Fournier said. “I know we struggled last year to come up with what the projects could be, so very good.” The allocations must be spent by Dec. 31, 2024.

Commissioners also approved an agreement with the Michigan Department of Transportation to share costs on repairs to Welts Street between northbound See ROADWORK on page 10A Photo by Erin Sanchez

MACOMB COUNTY — Macomb County Public Works Commissioner and former Congresswoman Candice Miller, long an advocate of Selfridge Air National Guard Base and the Michigan National Guard, was appointed by the U.S. Air Force to a key advisory panel in February 2023. Miller joined the Civic Leader Program of the Air Force and Space Force where she will be able to provide ideas, give feedback and advise the secretary of the Air Force, chief of staff of the Air Force, chief of staff of space operations and other senior Air Force leaders about how missions can best be accomplished, as well as the public’s attitude toward the Department of the Air Force. “Supporting the men and women who wear our nation’s uniform, particularly those who serve at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, has been one of the great honors of my career in public service,” Miller said in a statement. “I look forward to adding my voice to those who advocate for an enduring fighter aircraft mission at Selfridge and a recognition of the role our local Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Coast Guardsmen and others assigned to the base have played in our national security.” Miller is in the first class of program members to represent Air National Guard facilities and their communities along with active-duty Air Force bases. Air Force and Space Force civic leaders meet with Department of the Air Force officials once per year in Washington, D.C., and about twice a year at an Air Force facility to gain an understanding of current Air Force and Space Force missions and operations.

MOUNT CLEMENS BOARD OF EDUCATION SEEKING INPUT FOR SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH

MOUNT CLEMENS — As part of the search for a new superintendent, Mount Clemens Community Schools is seeking community and district faculty input for its search. With the assistance of the Michigan Association of School Boards, MCCS is holding four stakeholder focus groups on Thursday, March 9, to receive direct community input.

District members are also encouraged to respond to a survey, which can be accessed through surveymonkey.com/r/mtclemenssearch. Responses will be sent directly to the Michigan Association of School Boards. The survey will close on March 8. Input received by the board will help build a candidate profile to help guide the board in selecting a candidate. The board expects to select a new superintendent to begin work on July 1, 2023.

ANTON ART CENTER HOSTING SECONDARY STUDENT SHOW

MOUNT CLEMENS — Young artists will take the main stage at the Anton Art Center’s 2023 Secondary Student Show. Presented by Extra Credit Union and running from March 11 to April 11, this annual event showcases juried student artwork from Macomb County students currently enrolled in grades 7-12, either homeschooled or in private, parochial or public schools. This year, 737 artworks were submitted by more than 150 students, presented by 32 teachers from 21 schools. From that number, 326 submissions were selected for the show with 50 of those nominated for additional awards and prizes. “Encouraging creative endeavors for all ages, especially children has always been a core part of the Anton Art Center’s mission,” Anton Art Center Executive Director Phil Gilchrist said in a statement. “Every child should have the opportunity to experience the arts and the Secondary Student Show is just one of the many ways we promote the arts across Macomb County.” Students, family, teachers and school administrators are invited to the opening reception and awards announcement at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 11. Awards for grades 7-9 will be announced at 2:30 p.m. and awards for grades 10-12 will be announced at 3:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided by the Mount Clemens Optimist Club. “The county-wide student art exhibit is a meaningful experience for students, teachers, families, and visitors, alike,” Anton Art Center Exhibition Manager Stephanie Hazzard said in a statement. “The gallery is transformed for a show of this scale to emphasize the importance of arts education for youth and what the arts offer students of all ages: opportunities to develop mental health understanding, decision making, problem solving, self-expression, and time management, as well as inspiring involvement, goalsetting, and expanding worldview.” More information can be found by visiting theartcenter.org or calling (586) 469-8666. Admission to the art center is free and open to the public from Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

HOMES

Set up a space to start your seeds BY ERIC CZARNIK eczarnik@candgnews.com

Many gardeners start seeds indoors and then move the young plants outside once the weather warms up. When starting seeds indoors, the right amount of moisture is required.

METRO DETROIT — Even though recent weather has seen its share of snow and ice, many gardeners are wasting no time with starting to plant seeds indoors with the intention of taking them outside once the weather warms up. Luke Marion, owner of MIgardener in St. Clair, Michigan, said many gardeners get started on planting their herb or veggie seedlings indoors so they don’t have to wait past the last frost. “Because in colder climates, you have a shorter season,” he explained. “It’s going to give you a head start to your growing season.” The season’s length for indoor seed starting depends on which herbs or veggies someone plans to grow, but he said it can commonly range from February to May in Michigan. “With some herbs, it can be as early as, like, late February,” he said. “But it just depends on the setup and what they’re really trying to achieve. You don’t have to start that early.” When it comes to setting up a seed-starting space in your home, space requirements can depend on a gardener’s ambitions, Marion said. Vertical shelves and racks, each having a dedicated grow light, can maximize efficiency. But he said you don’t necessarily need lots of space to get started — even a card table under grow lights can work. “I would say a decent space would be probably like 6 to 8 square feet of space,” he said. “You’re going to be growing in smaller containers and moving them outside later.” George Papadelis, owner of Telly’s Greenhouse in Troy and Shelby Township, said “the simpler, the better” is typically the case for containers to plant growing seeds. He also discussed the importance of letting containers drain water from the bottom, so gardeners should have something like a cafeteria tray or other water collector “handy to serve as the bottom component of your seedling grow area.” Papadelis recommended a temperature of 72 degrees while seeds are germinating. After plants germinate, heat can be lowered somewhat, especially when it’s time to harden off the plants before planting them outside, he said. “If you don’t have a ‘hot spot,’ a lot of people’s seeds will go on top of the refrigerator because it tends to generate some heat up there,” he explained, though he added that some people prefer to buy a heating pad since it might be hard to see a refrigerator top. Marion recommended keeping the home’s humidity between 40% and 50% while seed starting. “Seeds like humidity when they are germinating,” he said. “That’s

not as much of a concern as is temperature. As long as it is 65-70 degrees, they’re going to be fine.” Ample lighting is also a must for seed starting. Papadelis said there are “hundreds of different models” of grow lights, and the model can affect how long it should be on or the distance to keep it from the growing seedlings. If you’re not careful, the young plants can get fried, he said. “You got to experiment and be really, really smart unless you have experience with that grow light,” he said. Marion said a typical windowsill isn’t enough, and he said he uses grow lights and typically leaves them on for 14-16 hours a day. “It’s difficult with windowsills only because most windows only get between two to four hours of sunlight, if that, and most seedlings need five to seven hours,” he said. “You can always use a windowsill and supplement the light. ... Otherwise, your seedlings are going to get leggy, stretching toward the light.” Marion also recommends adding a fan to the seed-starting room, which he said prevents stagnant air that can contribute to plant diseases. Papadelis recommended “a tiny, tiny little fan” somewhere in the room moving air around. “You don’t want to point a fan right at the seedlings,” Papadelis said.

Rick from page 1A

City Commission. “It’s a bit of a responsibility that I will take seriously, but it feels good.” One of five applicants to vie for Denise Mentzer’s vacant seat, Rick was unanimously appointed on the first ballot at a special meeting of the commission Feb. 23, besting former commissioners and former commission hopefuls for the role. A lifelong resident of Mount Clemens, Rick became interested in municipal government after returning home from the Navy in 2019. “A few years ago, I started paying attention to what was going on, got on the Planning Commission, started going to the meetings, and it just kind of built from there,” Rick said. Rick’s role on the Planning Commission made him familiar with how municipal government works, and it made him a familiar face to those within the government. And while working on the Planning Commission did not frequently put him face-to-face with city commissioners, Mayor Laura Kropp and city managers, Rick made up for it by be-

Mount Clemens City Commissioner Erik Rick. coming a frequent attender and public commentator at meetings. “If there’s something that I feel like I can ask about or express my opinion as a resident, then I’ll do it, and that’s the venue

for it,” Rick said. While the official call for candidates to fill Mentzer’s seat did not come until after her election to the Michigan House of Representatives, Rick began pondering whether to volunteer for the vacated seat when Mentzer was still campaigning. “When (Mentzer) was up for election everybody kind of knew the spot would be open, so we all had some time to consider it,” Rick said. “I talked with my family, got my permission slip signed by my wife. So I kind of knew (Mentzer’s election) was coming and thought, ‘Yeah, I’ll throw my hat in the ring and see how it goes.’” Ultimately, it turned out well for Rick. He had already left an impression on Kropp well before the vacancy was called, citing a “level headedness” he would bring to meetings when he spoke up. “(Rick is) somebody who takes in information, really processes things and tries to be a solution seeker,” Kropp said. “He understands, having been raised in Mount Clemens and returning here with his family, I think he really understands our trials and tribulations we’ve been through, and also our uniqueness to Macomb County. I think he really has a firm grasp of that.” One example that stood out to Kropp

about Rick’s level-headed approach to municipal issues was the question of whether to bond out and build a new water treatment plant or switch to the Great Lakes Water Authority as the city’s water provider. While Rick joined with many people and the majority of the commission to support building a plant, he gave support to the board when new information about the city’s finances proved that was impossible. “It was a complicated situation that as the city moved through it, they discovered additional restrictions and constraints that nobody knew about,” Rick said. “Ultimately, they came to one decision they could viably make, short of trying to take GLWA to court, and even then would likely not have won.” The city lacked the ability to bond for the plant and have cash reserves, and the resulting decision is one Rick understands and accepts. “We can’t realistically bond for our full debt capacity for one project and then have no room for additional debt should there be any issues,” Rick said. “Especially when that project is a big piece of infrastructure that in itself may be one of the things that needs an See RICK on page 9A

additional loan to fix something.” Rick’s ultimate goal for being part of the board is to help the city keep moving in what he sees as the right direction. “The general direction the city is heading is (that) things are getting better,” Rick said. “It may be two steps forward (and) one step back, but that’s still over the long term moving in the right direction. We’re getting more grants. We’re seeing more storefronts filled downtown. ... Seeing the recreation program come back and expand has been awesome. There’s a lot of good stuff happening here.” Another sign of the city’s improving

direction is the growing number of young people getting involved in city traditions. “The Santa Parade kind of had some issues there for a year or so, but they pulled it together, and now you’ve got a younger crowd of folks learning from the older crowd of folks to take the Santa Parade forward over the next decades,” Rick said. “I’m hoping we’ll see some more stuff with all of our keystone events here in Mount Clemens. But the fact that it’s happening with one of our biggest events is a good sign.” Rick was sworn in on the night of Feb. 23 and has worked with Kropp to be ready for his first meeting on Monday, March 6. The seat he’ll serve in will be up in November 2025, and Rick will have to run for election if he would like to remain a city commissioner.

The $31,000 will cover 120 hours of study for each outcome as well as about 55 hours of background research, report writing and other necessary tasks. Selfridge will reimburse the township for the study. “This leads to, presumably and hopefully, many, many years of providing services to the base and providing them in the most efficient manner possible,” Harrison Township Supervisor Ken Verkest said. “I think this is a step in the right direction.”

During announcements at the start of the meeting, Axtell read a statement about the issues residents were reportedly having with water meters. Residents have been receiving water bills based on readings from failed meters and the township has been unable to provide new ones. Axtell said the current system for the water meter reading devices is nearing the end of its usable life, while the cost of new ones has increased by 50%, with a lead time to buy new ones being five months. “I do not believe that I’d be putting the

The total repair cost will be $286,000, with federal surface transportation funds covering $234,091 (about 82% of the costs), and $53,546 coming from the city’s major streets fund. Fournier raised a question about how the city was able to use federal funds for a local street, and Public Services Director Jeffrey Wood explained that the section between the two sides of Gratiot Avenue is

eligible for federal funding because of its National Functional Classification. “The other section that runs from Canfield (Drive) all the way to Gratiot, that is not part of that National Functional Classification,” Wood said. “Anybody that uses (Welts Street in downtown Mount Clemens) should know that it’s a nightmare as well. We’re putting a lot of patch there.” Fournier asked about adding a full repair of Welts Street from Canfield Drive to Gratiot to the upcoming budget, though it would require examining the available funds and determining Welts’ pavement surface evaluation and rating score.

McCombs-Kaiser has such great memories of those holiday celebrations that it helped set the tone when she wrote her firstever children’s book. Last year, the Harrison Township resident released “Late for St. Paddy’s Day.” The book, designed for children in grades K-3, tells the story of Murphy the Leprechaun. Murphy is a good friend to all he comes in contact with, but the one attribute he lacks is bravery. He’s the only leprechaun who won’t travel through Barna Woods all alone; the dark shadows and loud noises scare him away. He doesn’t want anyone to know his secret. But Barna Woods — located in Barna, in County Galway, Ireland — is the best route to take to the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day party he’ll attend. When he knows he must be on time to help set up for the social event, Murphy comes up with a plan. Instead of venturing through the forest, he decides he will travel around it instead. On his way to the party, however, the unexpected happens. He can hear his friends from inside Barna Woods calling for help, but will he have the courage to go inside the forest? To find out, head over to the Harrison Township Public Library at 2 p.m. March 18, where McCombs-Kaiser will read “Late for St. Paddy’s Day.” The Harrison Township Library is located at 38255 L’Anse Creuse St., Suite A. Registration for the children’s St. Patrick’s Day party is required at htlibrary. org or by calling (586) 329-1261. In the book, the first-time author incorporates themes of selflessness, kids helping kids and overcoming fears. Digging into her Irish roots, McCombs-Kaiser also includes an educational component of authentic Irish culture, language and more. A glossary of Irish terms is listed at the beginning of the book. “It’s all intertwined with the story,” said McCombs-Kaiser, a Warren Woods Tower High School graduate. McCombs-Kaiser’s cousin, Charlie Hnatiuk, of Toronto, is the illustrator of the book. “The illustrations are amazing,” McCombs-Kaiser said. It took 10 years for McCombs-Kaiser to write “Late for St. Paddy’s Day.” Her husband, John Kaiser, and son John Kaiser Jr. “have been very supportive of me becoming an author.” It was her 16-year-old son who influenced the friendship theme behind the story.

Harrison Township resident Deb McCombs-Kaiser will read her book, “Late for St. Paddy’s Day,” at 2 p.m. March 18 at the Harrison Township Public Library. Community Schools resource room teacher, and another influence was her students over the years. “I think that was a big part of it,” the retired educator said. “I had small groups of students, so I got to know the kids. You strive for that personal connection.” Reading was always encouraged in her classroom. “I love seeing kids excited about books and reading. You use your imagination. Kids get excited,” McCombs-Kaiser said. “You see them smiling. They’re interacting. I love to see kids inspired to try something new. You can pause, think about it and do it again.” McCombs-Kaiser has already acquired fans of her first book, including Betsy Facione, of New Baltimore. Facione worked alongside McCombs-Kaiser for many years in the UCS district. “She taught in another classroom right next to me,” Facione said. “The students loved her.” Facione, who retired after 45 years, was among the many colleagues who encouraged McCombs-Kaiser with her writing. “I have read her book. I loved it so much I bought a copy for each of my four grandchildren,” Facione said. “I like that it wasn’t just a cute, little story. It has a lesson to be learned in it.” Facione also appreciates all the research McCombs-Kaiser put into “Late for St. Paddy’s Day.” “She’s dedicated to what she is doing,” Facione said. “I know she worked hard to make everything perfect for this book.” “Late for St. Paddy’s Day” is available

In the program, Jordan discussed how many of Detroit’s streets got their names. John R, for instance, was named after John R. Williams, who was the first elected mayor of the city of Detroit. Jordan’s video also included input from Bert Dearing, the owner of Bert’s Marketplace in Eastern Market; writer Marsha Music; and architect Emily Kutil, who is creating a project known as the “Black Bottom Street View.” With photographs of the Burton Historic Collection from the Detroit Public Library, the Street View project will map out See EXHIBIT on page 13A

engagement at Macomb Community College, said in a prepared statement. “We are offering a great slate of presentations, performances, artifacts and exhibits that will immerse visitors into this intense period of creative advances.” The exhibit’s first presentation, “Paradise Valley and Black Bottom,” was held March 1 with Detroit historian Jamon Jordan, of Black Scroll Network History & Tours. The guest speaker shared his knowledge of two predominantly Black Detroit neighborhoods: Black Bottom and Paradise Valley. The former Hastings Street connected the two neighborhoods. Black Bottom was a residential neighborhood bounded by Gratiot Avenue, Brush Street, the Detroit River and the Grand Trunk railroad tracks. Some notable residents of Black Bottom include Detroit’s first Black mayor, Coleman Young, and boxing great Joe Louis. Paradise Valley was the business district and entertainment center from the 1920s through the 1950s. The boundaries were Hastings Street to the east, John R Road to the west, East Vernor Highway to the east and Gratiot Avenue. In the early 1960s, both neighborhoods were demolished to make way for the construction of Interstate-375. During the presentation, Jordan shared a virtual tour of both areas, starting with Black Bottom, which was not named after the Black community. The moniker came from early French colonial settlers who named the area after the dark, fertile topsoil found in the area. “The French called the soil ‘fond noir.’ That’s how it gets its name,” Jordan said. “You know Black Bottom as a Black, historic neighborhood. Prior to the 1930s, this was an integrated neighborhood of immigrants along with African Americans. First, the French and British were there and brought slavery to the city of Detroit.” The immigrants hailed from Germany, Poland, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Syria and Lebanon. Jordan said that by the 1930s many of

images of every house in the Black Bottom neighborhood. According to Kutil, there are about 2,000 photos in the collection. The site will include a searchable database where families can look up homes by family name and address. “I think it’s really important to preserve the histories of that neighborhood so that future generations can understand its significance and can understand how we came into the place we are today as a city,” Kutil said in the video. For more information on the Black Bottom Street View visit blackbottomstreet view.com. Ford Field is one of Detroit’s current structures that now sits on the former Paradise Valley property. “In the 1920s, ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s this would have been the center of the African American business known as Paradise Valley. This business and entertainment district kind of grew as African Americans were migrating from the South to the North,” Jordan said. “We called that period ‘The Great Migration.’ Thousands of African Americans are leaving the South, are leaving conditions

of Jim Crow, sharecropping and tenant farming and looking for jobs in places like Ford Motor Co. and other auto factories. “From the 1920s to the 1950s there are 350 Black-owned businesses that are either in this area or very close. Hotels, restaurants, jazz clubs, stores,” Jordan said. “It will end up being destroyed after the 1956 Interstate Highway Act.” “Creative Michigan: Making the Mitten Modern” is sponsored by First State Bank, with additional support from the Fred A. and Barbara M.

Clinton Township board adopts county animal control rules BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

Township financial update

On Feb. 27, Gieleghem gave the township’s third quarter investment report to the board. The township treasurer explained that while the township is limited by law as to what investments it can pursue, it has been able to make gains. “We’ve been invested in some of the bank products, but pool funds, stuff that’s daily liquid, stuff that’s very short-term has been paying much better (and) providing better yields than some of the longer-term investments,” Gieleghem said. However, longer-term investments required to meet benchmarks have suffered in the COVID-influenced financial markets. As a result, the township is lagging in meeting its benchmarks but making more money on investments than within the past decade. The township’s bank deposits total $17,199,129 spread across eight banks. Gieleghem said $67,476,180.40 is held in

The Clinton Township Board of Trustees meets on the evening of Feb. 27. pooled funds and eight certificates of deposit are expected to yield at $96,239.48 at a rate of 2.59%. The township’s nine Treasury bills total $11,853,568.47 and are expected to yield at $222,431.53, and the fixed income investment portfolio has a market value of $12,350,835.06 and was earning a 4.48% average rate of return at the end of December 2022. The board scheduled a public hearing to review the 2023-2024 budget at the March 13 meeting.

Selfridge Resolution

The board also approved a resolution to “encourage the placement of advanced generation fighter aircraft” at the Harrison Township-based Selfridge Air National Guard Base. The resolution — which referred to Michigan’s World War II aircraft and war materiel production history, the current operations at the base, other military installations within the state and the plans to retire the A-10 Warthog attack aircraft currently stationed at Selfridge by 2027 — comes after a variety of state and local level politicians as well as Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer have called upon the Department of Defense to add an F-35 multirole fighter aircraft mission to the base. “This is giving the tools to our congressional representatives to (provide) some support, some background, some foundation to say, ‘Our communities depend on these organizations, they depend on Selfridge,’” Gieleghem said about why so many communities and politicians are passing resolutions in support of the base. “Selfridge is an incredible community asset for us and it’s integral to the defense of our nation.”

Finding a new plane, likely the F-35, would allow the base to remain an economic anchor within Macomb County. According to the resolution, Selfridge employs 246 fulltime staff, 611 staff members altogether and brings $44,520,000 a year to Michigan. The base is currently one of two consid-

ered for an F-35 foreign customer training school and a relocated Republic of Singapore F-16 training and storage mission. Selfridge sits as an alternative for this program, second to the “preferred alternative” of Ebbing Air National Guard Base in Missouri. A decision on this plan is expected in March.

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — The Clinton Township Board of Trustees joined many Macomb County communities on Feb. 27 by adopting a new animal control ordinance in line with the county’s standards, practices and recommendations. “It’s very important to residents and businesses and our communities in general that we have a sort of standardized, acrossthe-county animal policy, and this allows us to do that,” Trustee Julie Matuzak said. “Chief (Jeff ) Randazzo at the Macomb County Animal Control does an amazing job with limited resources, and the county provides animal control to most of the communities in Macomb County. So having a standardized best practice that we can all work with I think is beneficial to everybody — including all the animals.” Clinton Township is one of the communities serviced by Macomb County Animal Control, and adopting the ordinance allows animal control to enforce penalties as township ordinance violations. Trustee Mike Keys expressed concern about whether the ordinance allowed Macomb County Animal Control to raise more funds through townships, because townships would rely on county agencies for such activities. The shelter now also has a no-kill animal holding policy. Treasurer Paul Gieleghem responded that any attempt to raise funds for projects like a new shelter would require an agreement between communities and the county.

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

Chainsaws stolen

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 5:50 p.m. on Feb. 14, in the 31000 Harper Avenue, officers responded to an incident where three chainsaws were stolen. Upon arrival, officers spoke to an employee who stated that two unknown suspects entered the store, took the chainsaws and left without attempting to pay for the merchandise. A second employee provided descriptions to the officers and said that they left in a white vehicle. The employees were given a copy of the report number.

Driver arrested after traffic stop

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 12:53 a.m. on Feb. 9, on Eight Mile Road at Harper Avenue, officers were doing a routine traffic stop when another vehicle sped past. They followed the vehicle into a gas station, where they approached the driver, a 20-year-old man. The driver was allegedly aggressive, yelling profanities at the officers, flailing his arms and making other movements. It was found the driver did not have insurance, and he continued to act disorderly until the officers tried to put him in the patrol car. When an officer warned the driver that he would be pepper sprayed if he kept kicking, they were able to close the patrol car door and take him to the St. Clair Shores Police Department for processing.

Vehicle theft reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 1:51 p.m. on Feb. 5, in the 20000 block of Eastlawn Street, officers responded to a report of a stolen vehicle. Upon arrival, officers were met by the registered owner who stated that the last time she saw her vehicle was around 4 p.m. on Feb. 3. She noticed her car was missing at approximately 1 p.m. on the listed date. Officers made contact with a neighbor who last saw the vehicle on Feb. 3 and noticed broken glass on Feb. 4. The neighbor stated she disposed of the broken glass she found.

Customers leave without paying

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 8:35 p.m. on Feb. 1, in the 23000 block of Marter Road, officers responded to a report of customers walking out on their bill at a restaurant. Upon arrival, officers spoke to the manager who stated the suspects ordered and consumed food. The suspects then allegedly got up from the table and walked out without paying. They got in a vehicle and left westbound on Marter. The officers advised the manager to save any video evidence for detectives.

People walk out on bill

WARREN HELPS NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE CONTINENT

WARREN — After the 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Turkey and Syria on Feb. 6, leaving more than 41,000 people dead and hundreds of thousands displaced from their homes, Warren mayor James Fouts wants to help and is seeking support in his Earthquake Relief Drive. “I am volunteering to collect new/gently used clean blankets, overcoats/coats, gloves, scarves, beanies, new, never-worn underclothing, and warm clothing items to send to Turkey and Syria,” Fouts said. “I will also donate a personal check of $1,000. I encourage other mayors in the metro area to do the same!” Items can be dropped off at the Mayor’s Office until March 13. The office is located on the second floor at Warren City Hall, Mayor’s Office, 1 City Square, Suite 215, Warren, MI 48093. “I encourage others to donate whatever they can, as this is the most devastating earthquake in nearly a century!” said Fouts. “Imagine small children being dug out of rubble, as well as old people and babies trapped outside in cold frigid weather without warm clothing and protection!”

Donor registry awareness bill introduced

LANSING — On Feb. 1, state Reps. Lori M. Stone, D-Warren, and Penelope Tsernoglou, D-East Lansing, introduced House Bill No. 4060. The legislation, if passed, would encourage physicians at private practices or urgent care centers to provide information to patients interested in organ, tissue or bone marrow donations. “This legislation would raise awareness for patients to be informed on how to have their name placed on the donor registry,” Stone said in a prepared statement. “The bone marrow, organ and tissue donor registries have declined significantly over the past few years. The bill recognizes the important role trusted medical experts fulfill as a conduit to provide resources, educate and answer questions. This information can help increase the number of donors on Michigan Organ Donor Registry — awareness is key.”

We would like to thank the Berkley American Legion for their support and guidance throughout this initiative.”
