Macomb Trustees approve future Broughton PUD BY DEAN VAGLIA

dvaglia@candgnews.com

MACOMB TOWNSHIP — Zoning once again was the talk of the Macomb Township Board of Trustees meeting Feb. 22, with trustees approving a planned unit development along 24 Mile Road. Known as “McBride Crossing” and located on the southern side of the road near the planned intersection with Broughton Road along the McBride Drain, the PUD allows for the existing agriculturally zoned parcel to house a mixture of single-family, multi-family and commercial properties. The west side of the Broughton Road expansion will be developed, while the land between Broughton and the McBride Drain will remain undeveloped, save for a planned pathway. Commercial space will be limited to the intersection of Broughton and 24 Mile roads. “This is something that we have worked closely (on) with legal counsel and the applicant themselves to come to this agreement,” said Macomb Township Planning Director Josh Bocks. “I think we’ve spent dozens and dozens of hours sitting in a room talking to make sure we got it exactly right, and I think we’ve come to a conclusion.” See TRUSTEES on page 19A

DAKOTA HIGH BAND MEMBERS PLAY ON BIG STAGES “It felt amazing,” Chua said. “There’s only one drummer that can make it out of the entire state, and there were a lot of drummers that auditioned. The fact that I was picked out of all of them is unbelievable.” The lone drummer to make it into the

ensemble, Chua stands out as one of the best high school jazz drummers in Michigan — or as Chua puts it, the one who had the best audition. “Even though, technically, I’m the only See BAND on page 18A

Macomb Community College recently introduced health care apprenticeships to students after receiving federal funding.

MACOMB COUNTY — Macomb Community College students considering a career in the health care field will now have the opportunity to participate in an apprenticeship. In addition, Macomb’s Michigan Apprenticeship Program Plus, also known as the MAP+ program, will continue to offer opportunities to interested students. Both programs are made possible through federal funding that the college has received. According to Macomb officials, the health care apprenticeship initiative is being funded by $2.6 million secured by U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Michigan. The health care apprenticeship program is brand-new for the college, and an advisory board helped to get it off the ground. “We ran multiple sessions engaging our community partners,” said Narine Mirijanian, the dean of Health and Public Service at Macomb. “The college is very passionate about fulfilling our mission.” The three-year apprenticeship initiative is designed to create a pathway to opportunity and sustainability for students and local health care organizations. So far, two students have acquired apprenticeships and close to 15 students are waiting to be placed. The goal is to have 60 apprenticeships completed over the three years, and also to set a model for the southeast Michigan health care sector. According to a college press release, the program is designed to provide students the opportunity to earn money while they are learning in the classroom. An apprenticeship program trains future employees to become skilled in a trade or profession. Apprenticeship training combines classroom learning with hands-on work as students prepare for entry-level, patient-centered or business-oriented health careers. See APPRENTICE on page 4A

After securing federal money, Macomb Community College will continue to offer Macomb’s Michigan Apprenticeship Program Plus, also known as the MAP+ program.

Apprentice from page 3A

“The health care apprenticeship is a new concept for us. It was a vision the college had along with the community,” Mirijanian said. “We are very aware of what’s happening in the community. After COVID, there are significant deficiencies in the workforce. With the apprenticeships, the students could be earning and learning at the same time.” The initiative involves eight programs ranging from six weeks to one year and at least 2,000 hours of on-the-job instruction. Because of the federal grant, the apprentice will incur no costs for tuition, books, laptops, uniforms and background checks. “We’re very excited,” Mirijanian said. “The grant was very well thought through to successfully really start the program.” According to Macomb officials, some students will achieve their career goals with completion of the entry-level program, while others will use it as a stepping stone to continue their education, enhance skills and advance into higher-level opportunities in health care fields. The health care apprenticeships will offer the following certifications: medical reimbursement specialist; professional coder; nursing assistant; dental assistant; laboratory assistant; medical assistant; pharmacy technician and phlebotomy. A certified professional coder, for example, updates patient records with standardized information needed for data management and billing purposes. Students who enroll in the phlebotomy program learn how to draw blood from patients and prepare the samples for testing. Classes will be held at South Campus in Warren and at Center Campus in Clinton Township. For more information

about health care apprenticeships, email jurya707@macomb.edu. Macomb’s MAP+ program was created in 2016 with funding through the U.S. Department of Labor American Apprenticeship Initiative. From 2016 to 2021, the college registered 375 apprentices representing 41 employers in the region and served 452 pre-apprentices. The MAP+ program continuation is supported by a $610,000 appropriation through U.S. Sen. Gary Peters, D-Michigan. “Ensuring that our community’s residents have access to the training and support to succeed and prosper in the 21st century workforce, and that local employers have the talent necessary to sustain and grow their businesses is an imperative for Macomb Community College,” Macomb Community College President James O. Sawyer IV said in a prepared statement. “We’re deeply appreciative of the advocacy and action of Sens. Stabenow and Peters to secure critical financial resources that further our work in these areas.” The MAP+ program works in collaboration with the Macomb Intermediate School District to welcome students interested in the region’s construction and manufacturing sectors, including automotive, aerospace and defense. In the program, students enroll in shop math, industrial safety, blueprint reading and hands-on training. The MAP+ Industrial Readiness program is provided at no cost to students. “On successful completion of the classes, which are completed in one semester, students earn a certificate with nine credits that can be applied to an associate degree and are connected to employers seeking talent,” the press release states. MAP+ is seeking students for this fall. If interested or for more information about MAP+, email ahearns@macomb.edu.

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 home-schooled 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, goal-setting, 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.

METRO DETROIT — “The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks” is a film about Parks’ involvement in the civil rights movement, based on the bestselling biography by Jeanne Theoharis of the same title. It was recently screened at the Detroit Institute of Arts to a sold-out audience. “For years, the significance of her moment on the bus was minimized by groups claiming that she was simply tired that day, and just wanted to sit down,” said Elliot Wilhelm, the Detroit Film Theater’s curator of film. “Instead, the documentary demonstrates — factually and eloquently — that Rosa Parks was fully aware of the leadership, strength and humanity that moment embodied, and she continued to demonstrate that dedication to justice, equality and decency for the remainder of her life.” The film was followed by two panel discussions with the film’s executive producer, Soledad O’Brien; Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson; American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten; the film’s directors, Yoruba Richen and Johanna Hamilton; and Rosa Parks’ grandnephew, Lonnie McCauley. The screening was co-presented by Soledad O’Brien Productions, the American Federation of Teachers, The League, Freep Film Festival, and Friends of the Detroit Film Theatre. Macomb Art Institute Authority Chair and Treasurer/Secretary of Macomb Cultural & Economic Partnership Ed Bruley said, “We were thankful we could bring 48 people to see the film in the evening, thanks to the DIA and the millage.” The Detroit Institute of Arts millage was on the ballot in March of 2020 and asked voters in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties to renew the previous 10-year millage that provided free admission, transportation to the museum and other services to residents in the tri-county area.

Candice Miller appointed to USAF advisory panel BY DEAN VAGLIA

dvaglia@candgnews.com

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.

nyone with a family member who owned property in northern Michigan can recall the memory of weekend trips Up North to the cottage or the lake house.

The simple sight of a longlasting general store or a go-to ice cream spot can evoke a longing to possibly own their own place Up North one day, but buyers would be hard-pressed to find a healthy amount of property inventory throughout Northern Michigan. From Traverse City to Case-

ville, properties have been bought up at the first sight of a listing, and Royal Oak-Max Broock Realtor Matthew Bazner attributed the active market to the COVID-19 pandemic. “A lot of people who couldn’t go anywhere had to cancel trips, so they just purchased a cottage in

Michigan, and that really spurted the prices up,” Bazner said. So, what cities are the hot commodities of Northern Michigan right now? It’s really all based on the preference of the buyer. On the western side, Traverse City, Grand Haven, Harbor Springs and Petoskey have been

Foundation Authority Experts Say Fixing Problems Early Can Many Times Save Money! For most of us, the home is our family’s largest investment — one that’s only as strong and secure as its foundation. Problems there, whether it’s a growing crack or water infiltration during the spring thaw, are the last thing anyone wants to see or hear about. But hearing information you can trust from the best in the business of addressing those problems can many times save you money, especially when problems are identified and corrected early. The experts at the Foundation Authority specialize in identifying and fixing all basement or crawl space issues. “It’s always important to have someone look at your house if you notice something is wrong,” said Richard Piccirilli of Foundation Authority. “If you

can catch it early enough, most of the time we can keep the expense down. Dealing with home repairs is unpleasant and inconvenient to say the least, but when you must address any issues, it’s best to hear from a full-time team of experts who know how to diagnose and repair problems including foundation cracks, bowed basement walls, leaks or excess moisture. “Sometimes when you have things going on with your house, you don’t want a contractor to come in and sugarcoat it and put in a cheap fix just to make the price sound good,” Piccirilli said. “You want someone to come in and put in the correct fix to solve the problem the first time.

tial 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 the immigrants had moved out of Black Bottom, and the neighborhood became “predominantly African-American.” Housing laws and discrimination prohibited Black residents from living in most other parts of the city. 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; See EXHIBIT on page 22A

ship 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.

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. McCombs-Kaiser has such great memories of those holiday celebrations that it helped set the tone when she wrote her first-ever children’s book. Last year, the Harrison Town-

“Late for St. Paddy’s Day” is about Murphy the Leprechaun, who is afraid to travel alone through Barna Woods when he gets invited to a St. Patrick’s Day party. The book, written by Warren Woods Tower High School graduate Deb McCombs-Kaiser, is available on Amazon, IngramSpark and at independent bookstores.

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 See AUTHOR on page 18A

Dakota bowling shines at regionals, ends season at state finals BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

MACOMB TOWNSHIP — For the second-straight year, Macomb Dakota’s boys and girls varsity bowling teams have punched their ticket to the Michigan High School Athletic Association’s Division 1 state finals. It wasn’t without facing some bumps and bruises along the way, but Dakota bowling is back where it belongs on the state finals stage. Arguably the toughest division in the state, the Macomb Area Conference-Red was a dogfight through and through this season for both sides. But when it mattered most, Dakota answered the call.

Dakota boys

For the most part this season, Dakota was impressive in the MAC-Red, finishing 8-2 and earning the second-place spot in the league. Dakota finished second at the Macomb County bowling championships on Jan. 14, but senior Dylan Maurer was electric during the tournament, grabbing first place. While Maurer took the top spot earlier this year against MAC-Red competition, it was time for another Dakota senior to earn the spotlight. On Feb. 25 at 5 Star Lanes, senior Connor Rogus bested a field of 88 bowlers to win the MHSAA Region 4 singles championship. Rogus said there was one major factor that assisted him in the win. “Well, I stayed calm the whole day,” Rogus said. “That was all helped See BOWLING on page 20A Photo courtesy of Paul Price

an author.” It was her 16-year-old son who influenced the friendship theme behind the story. McCombs-Kaiser is a retired Utica 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 on Amazon, IngramSpark and at independent bookstores.

person that got it, I’ve seen other people who auditioned for it,” Chua said. “They’re also really great musicians, so I wouldn’t say that means that I’m the best drummer in the state or anything. It definitely means that I auditioned the best, but there’s just so much great talent out there.” Auditioning for the all-state ensemble was no easy feat. Having auditioned and failed in prior years, Chua went “all-out” practicing for the rhythmic gauntlet that was the audition. Hopefuls are expected to perform multiple improvised solo sets involving three different musical styles, master a complicated solo, sight read a song and play time perfectly to a backing piano and bass. “It was just nice to play with all of the greatest musicians in the state,” Chua said. “It was really satisfying to hear everything played almost perfectly. It was really nice to be in that group.” Behrendsen, who plays the French horn, performed on the Carnegie Hall stage on Feb. 4 as part of the Honors Performance Series. “It was unbelievable,” Behrendsen said. “Just being able to play in that kind of space was just — I don’t have the words, to be honest. It was unbelievable.” Musicians in the Honors Performance Series are nominated by a teacher and submit a recorded audition of their performance to the series’ organizers. Ref-

erences were submitted on behalf of several Dakota musicians last year with organizers reaching back to Behrendsen for an audition. Behrendsen’s performance at the famed New York City venue consisted of four pieces. There was a fast and upbeat piece to start, which he said he found fun to play. There was then a lower and melodic piece. He said the third piece was “a bunch of different fragments of a melody all kind of spaced out; it was really interesting.” A final “power” statement closed out the performance. Dakota High School Director of Bands Justin Makarewicz expressed great pride in Chua and Behrendsen’s achievements. “Lucas and Nico are some of the most talented young musicians I’ve had the privilege to work with in my career,” Makarewicz said via email. “They also hold a high standard for being good people and committed to anything they do. When they told me about their respective opportunities, I felt a sense of joy for them because they truly deserved it. I’m so proud of them that it makes me smile just thinking about their accomplishments since they’ve been a member of our program. I’m excited for their futures and hope to stay in touch with them as they go on to do incredible things.” Following their performances, both musicians plan to continue playing music beyond graduation. Behrendsen wishes to have a career making musical scores for movies and video games, while Chua plans to continue playing as a side hobby while pursuing other careers.

Trustees from page 1A

The plan received two rounds of pushback; the first coming from a resident in the area who called into the meeting with various concerns about the project. While threestory townhouses will be built, they will only be along the Broughton Road expansion and away from existing single-family homes. Another concern was that the zoning master plan only calls for single-family homes, and while true, the PUD process allows for the township to work with petitioner Stonecrest of Washington LLC to have multiple uses on their property. The PUD is granted on the condition that the developer will donate its right-of-way for Broughton and 24 Mile roads to the township and help construct the Broughton Road expansion. Deviating from the master plan was the reason Trustee Frank Cusumano Jr. gave for providing the lone vote against the PUD, which passed 5-1. On an unrelated zoning matter, a contingent of four residents in the area of 25 Mile and Broughton roads spoke against a conditional reasoning at that corner. While their comments did nothing to change the board’s prior decision to approve the rezoning — a decision made in line with the master plan — Tim Tomlinson, township attorney, said the administration is looking into ways to better inform the community about pending rezonings or projects. Signs were mentioned as one way to do so.

Five-year water and sewer plan

On Feb. 22, the Macomb Township Department of Public Works presented its capital improvement plans for fiscal years 2024-2028, going over projects and their financial impacts. Three upcoming projects — water mains along Broughton, Heydenreich Road and 21 Mile Road — are reliant on Macomb County Department of Roads projects. Several other projects — replacing Pump Station 1, and sanitary sewer reha-

bilitation along 21 Mile and Romeo Plank roads, as well as several meter pit improvements and land acquisitions — are not reliant on the county department’s timetable. Department of Public Works offices are also being renovated. An interior remodel of the 27-year-old building is being pursued, while a proximity card system, a cold storage building, covers for storage bins and parking lot improvements will be sought in the future.

Macomb Corners upgrade

The board also approved the purchase of a new play structure for Macomb Corners Park at a cost of nearly $400,000. The cost of the project includes the equipment, new turf where it will be placed, shipping and installation. Between the ordering lead time and the process of moving and installing everything, Parks and Recreation Director Salvatore DiCaro expects it to be ready by early July. “I would love to have it for the first concert on June 29, if we could,” DiCaro said.

Public hearings planned

The board scheduled two public hearings for the March 8 meeting to help acquire two Michigan Department of Natural Resources grants. The first Michigan DNR Trust Fund grants will help build the North Branch Greenway project by buying land along the Clinton River, while the second will be used to complete a pathway around McBride Pond. Both grants will be used to complete the projects without using any additional township funds, making the North Branch Greenway a county-and-grant-funded project outside of administrative and property acquisition costs, while the pathway grant will be paired with a Southeast Michigan Council of Governments Transportation Alternatives Plan grant to connect with Macomb Corners Park and circle the lake at the Macomb Township Town Center. The public hearings are a required part of the grant process with applications due in early April.

Properties from page 12A

Max Broock Realtor Renee Pfeil said. Traverse City, while one of the more expensive locations, has been recognized as a premium location for buyers. Showcasing a city life, wineries and a lake presence as well, Traverse City has been hot on the market. Pfeil, who grew up in the Cheboygan area, said Traverse City’s versatility has been its biggest attribute. “Traverse City has become a really popular area just because of all the amenities,” Pfeil said. “You still kind of have access to get to a Target, all the city living places, the wineries, but you still have the lakes to take advantage of, the beautiful beaches, the dunes and all that.” Towards the middle part of Northern Michigan, the lakefront properties will always hold extensive value on the market. With Michigan universally recognized as one of the top states for boating, it’s no secret why areas like Burt Lake, Charlevoix and Mullet Lake have continued to be vacation spots. “The other area is that whole chain of lakes from Cheboygan, Lake Huron, going into the Cheboygan River, Mullet Lake, Burt Lake and Crooked Lake,” Pfeil said. “That whole boating scene is pretty popular in the summer and a nice area where inventory is still really low because it’s hard to find stuff on the water there.” Typical prices in the channel lakes between Burt and Mullet lakes have ranged from $300,000 to $500,000, with the higher-priced properties typically offering an updated three-bedroom lakefront property. Ruthann Cantile, a Cheboygan native, recently purchased a lakefront house on Lake Huron, between Mackinaw City and Cheboygan, which she plans to turn into an Airbnb. Cantile said she’s excited to show visitors what the area has to offer. “It’s kind of nice to share Cheboygan’s

lakes, rivers and trails in not only summertime but wintertime activities, like snowmobiling and ice fishing,” Cantile said. Areas in the middle of Michigan such as Houghton Lake, Higgins Lake and Roscommon continue to be popular, specifically for buyers with proximity to metro Detroit in mind. Bazner said he’s come across two types of buyers looking for vacation properties in Michigan. “You find that you have two different types of people,” Bazner said. “The first is how far people want to be from metro Detroit, and the other is people who find a place wherever they want.” Areas such as Caseville, Lexington, Port Huron and Tawas Lake have provided the lakefront properties while also saving metro Detroit-based buyers time on driving. Lexington, Caseville and Port Huron still offer a walk-around-town feel while providing the summertime feel that buyers are looking for. “I’ve had clients who were really more interested in Tawas Lake, Higgins Lake, Caseville and Port Huron area just because the drive time is better,” Pfeil said. Michiganders aren’t the only ones in the market for second homes in Michigan. Wisconsin, Ohio and Illinois natives continue to populate the market. With time not necessarily being a consideration for out-of-state buyers, Pfeil said there are certain areas that seem to be primarily occupied by out-of-state residents. “Up in Northern Michigan, Harbor Springs, Mullet Lake, Petoskey, Charlevoix — all that is a wide variety,” Pfeil said. “There’s a lot of people who don’t live in Michigan that have a second home in Michigan. I know a lot of people in Chicago will travel on the west side along there in Lake Michigan.” For Michiganders, Bazner said the buying habits are a little different. “Southeast Michigan people tend to go anywhere; it’s ‘show me a lake,’” Bazner said.

by my support system I had there. My mom, dad, dad’s girlfriend, grandparents and girlfriend all kept me in the moment and helped me stay calm. My coach always helps me keep my mind steady, and with all the help of all these people, I am able to stay mentally strong the way I do.” Rogus is no stranger to mental toughness — after appendix surgery sidelined him this year, he found himself struggling to find a rhythm when he returned. Battling back and finally finding his footing, Rogus went into competitions with a positive mindset, but also new mechanics along the way. Rogus said both his physical and mental changes have been a key factor in his success. “So I ended up changing my roll, changing the weight of my equipment, and went through a fit change,” Rogus said. “It took me a long time to get used to the changes, but once I got it figured out, it’s been paying off. Those changes will help me in the long run, especially when I bowl in college.” Rogus is currently committed to bowl at Concordia University and has been a staple for Dakota during his four years on varsity. Dakota coach Jason Kavanagh said his biggest con-

tribution to the team took place off the lanes. “In his mind, he’s taken that role on himself to address the varsity bowlers when I’m not there, and he does it with the JV kids, too, to make them feel more welcoming and a part of the team during the season,” Kavanagh said. While Rogus secured some hardware of his own, Dakota as a team was getting the job done during the MHSAA Region 4 team finals on Feb. 24 at 5 Star Lanes. Finishing in second place with a pin total of 3,570, 252 pins behind first-place Utica Eisenhower, Dakota secured a spot at the MHSAA Division 1 state finals. Dakota was eliminated by Wayne Memorial High School in the round of eight this year at the MHSAA Division 1 state finals on March 3 at Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park. Dakota, which has qualified for their fourth-straight state finals, finished runner-up in 2021 and was eliminated in the round of eight last season at the MHSAA Division 1 state finals. But for Dakota, it was all about getting a foot in the door. “We just wanted to get there,” Kavanagh said. “We don’t care how we have to get there, but we just wanted to get to the state finals.” Dakota was led by Rogus, Maurer, junior Landen Moore, freshman Cole Rogus, senior Jacob Kresbaugh, junior Ryan Denyes and junior Xavier Gurd this season.

Returning this year as the defending MHSAA Division 1 state champions, there were high expectations, but also questions, around Dakota girls bowling. With three state finals bowlers returning and a healthy amount of youthful talent, Dakota coach Paul Price said the MHSAA Region 4 team finals on Feb. 24 at 5 Star Lanes was a test for his squad. “Honestly, we’re a very young team this year,” Price said. “There was no sure chance of us getting a win out there, but I think we always thought we had a chance at least. The girls fought through the tough conditions because the lanes were really tough, but the girls picked up the spares and played well.” All questions were answered as Dakota cruised to a regional championship behind a 3,064 pin total, 44 pins ahead of second-place Sterling Heights Stevenson High School. Stevenson was a thorn in the side of not just Dakota but the entirety of the MAC-Red division, going undefeated in league play. For Dakota, which finished third in the league with a 5-4 record, they just had to step up when it mattered most. Senior Riley Brownrigg answered the

call for Dakota, helping the team bowl a 221 in their first Bakers game. “Riley played a huge role,” Price said. “She played all day and had an amazing day. It was just grinding nonstop. It was one of those days where you could have easily given up, but she kept her head down and kept going.” Senior Haylie Patterson and junior Alexa Hardester, both state finals bowlers for Dakota last year alongside Brownrigg, conFamily Owned & Operated for Over 30 Years! tinued to serve as the veteran anchors.

On March 1, Detroit historian Jamon Jordan gave a historical account of two predominantly Black Detroit neighborhoods, Paradise Valley and Black Bottom.

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 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,” Jor-

dan 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. Erb Family Foundation, the Oliver Dewey Marcks Foundation, the Kresge Foundation and the Sonya K. Brett Memorial Endowed Fund for Cultural Enrichment Programs. The Lorenzo Cultural Center is open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesdays-Saturdays. For a full list of presentations, visit lorenzocultur alcenter.com. While presentations are free to attend, registration is required. Visits to Discovery Hall to view the exhibits do not require advance registration.

HE W T F O E M I R C WEEK •

F THE O E M I R C • NEWSWORTHY OF THE WEEK 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

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 12:12 a.m. on Feb. 5, in the 23000 block of Harper Avenue, an officer responded to a call of a party leaving a restaurant without paying. Upon arrival, the officer spoke to the manager, who stated both the suspect and the suspect’s friend walked out on a bill, but the suspect left the receipt and her license. The two left in an unknown direction. Contact was made with the waitress who attended to the table, but she did not have much information. The officer advised that a report would be made.

Road rage, assault reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 2:12 a.m. on Feb. 13, on Interstate 94 at 10 Mile Road, officers responded to a road rage incident involving a felony assault. Upon arrival, officers met with the victim, a 46-year-old man, who stated he was driving east on I-94 in the area of Nine Mile Road when a vehicle carrying four men cut him off. The victim proceeded to cut them off and the back and forth proceeded two more times. The victim then shouted for them to fight him. They proceeded to match his speed and fired four shots into the side of his car. When the officers asked the victim about the details, he reportedly got defensive. The victim stated he followed the vehicle to get a license plate but was unsuccessful. The officers asked why he did not call the police, and the victim stated he was alone at the time. There was a bullet hole in the victim’s vehicle, but no bullets were found.

Driver found with drugs

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 11 p.m. Jan. 31, an officer on patrol in the area of 22 Mile and Ryan roads initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle for a traffic violation. The vehicle was not registered with the Secretary of State, so the officer impounded the vehicle. The driver reportedly appeared very nervous when informed that his car was going to be impounded. While doing an inventory search of the vehicle, the officer located a gun in the back seat, police said. When the driver was being handcuffed, a straw with fentanyl was located on him. The driver was placed under arrest for carrying a concealed weapon and possession of fentanyl.

Woman scammed out of $1,000 after being told sister is hostage

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 3:02 p.m. Jan. 30, officers were dispatched to the 12000 block of Culver Drive, near 21 Mile and Schoenherr roads, for a fraud

report. The caller stated that she had received a phone call from an unknown man. The man told her that her sister was being held hostage and he needed $1,000; otherwise, he would hurt her sister. The caller then withdrew $1,000 from her bank account and wired money to a location in Mexico. Shortly after sending the money, she spoke to her sister on the phone, and her sister informed her that she was OK and that the phone call was a scam. Police were investigating.

Driver with expired license plate admits she drank too much

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — An officer on patrol in the area of West Utica and Dequindre roads observed a vehicle with an expired license plate at 2 a.m. Jan. 29. The vehicle was also unable to maintain its lane. The officer initiated a traffic stop. When talking to the driver, the officer reportedly could smell a strong odor of intoxicants. The driver stated that she had just left a local bar and reportedly admitted to having four beers. The officer then had the driver exit her vehicle so she could perform field sobriety tests. After completing the field sobriety tests, the driver was offered a preliminary breath test. The driver refused to take the PBT, telling the officer that she didn’t want to take one since she already knew she was over the legal limit, according to police. The driver was then placed under arrest for suspicion of operating while intoxicated. She was then transported to the Police Department, at which time a blood draw was completed to determine the driver’s blood alcohol content.

Apartment complex office locks damaged

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 7:51 a.m. Feb. 1, officers were dispatched to an apartment complex in the area of West Utica and Ryan roads for a vandalism report. The locks had been damaged at the main office of the apartment complex. The vandal caused approximately $170 worth of damage. Police were investigating.

Business broken into, items stolen

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Officers were dispatched to a business in the 46000 block of Van Dyke Avenue for a breaking-and-entering that had been discovered at 1:58 p.m. Feb. 5. The owner of the business, when he arrived for work, discovered that some of his merchandise was missing. Surveillance video showed two individuals inside the building stealing merchandise overnight. The burglars gained entry by pulling the exterior door open. Evidence technicians were called to the scene to gather evidence. The detective bureau was investigating.

Burglar attempts to steal vehicle

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 7:39 p.m. Feb. 3, officers were dispatched to a residence in the area of 21 Mile and Hayes roads for a breaking and entering report. Officers made contact with the homeowner, who stated that he went out to his garage that morning and discovered the garage door was partially opened. He then discovered the rear window to his vehicle that was parked in the garage had been broken out. Also, paneling under the glove box was removed with wires hanging out. Police said it appears that the burglar broke into the garage to attempt to steal the vehicle that the homeowner had parked inside, but the burglar was unsuccessful in stealing the vehicle. Police were investigating.

Meijer catches customers stealing in self-scan checkout

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 12:30 p.m. Feb. 5, officers were dispatched to Meijer, 15055 Hall Road, for a complaint of a retail fraud in progress. Loss prevention officers observed two subjects in the self-scanning area not scanning all the items in their carts. Police arrived on the scene while the suspects were still in the store. Loss prevention officers stated that the suspects would self-scan one item, then place multiple items in their bags. Both subjects were arrested and charged with retail fraud.

Almost $1,000 in Nike clothes stolen

STERLING HEIGHTS — Two female suspects allegedly shoplifted $995 worth of Nike clothes from Kohl’s, 44200 Schoenherr Road, Feb. 3. The suspects allegedly hid the merchandise in a purse and additional bags before leaving without paying. They reportedly got away in a gold Chevrolet Equinox toward the direction of the nearby Steak ‘n Shake before witnesses lost sight of their vehicle. Police investigated the area but couldn’t find the vehicle.

Safe, piggy bank raided at home

STERLING HEIGHTS — A burglary reportedly happened sometime between 9:15 a.m. and around 8:30 p.m. Feb. 3 at a home in the 5000 block of Woods Drive, near 14 Mile and Mound roads. The victim reportedly noticed the basement lights being on upon return as well as open doors upstairs that had been closed earlier that day. A bedroom safe and a piggy bank were also broken and raided, police said. According to police, cash, a wedding ring, necklaces and other jewelry were stolen. Police spotted pry marks on some doors. Police said they had no suspects.

NOTES NEWS ITEMS TAKEN FROM SOME OF OUR LOCAL COVERAGE AREAS

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.”

Shrine students raise money for veterans

BERKLEY/ROYAL OAK — Students from Shrine Catholic Grade School recently raised money to support local veterans. According to a press release, students held a fundraising drive to support veterans of the U.S. military. The money, a total of $2,200, was given to the Berkley American Legion Post 374 during a pep rally on Feb. 3. The funds then were given to the American Legion Department of Michigan for use by the Michigan American Legion Foundation in support of wounded and returning veterans in the state. “We are incredibly proud of our students for their hard work and dedication to support our veterans,” John LaCroix, a teacher at the grade school, said in the release. “Their efforts have made a significant impact on the lives of those who have bravely served our country. We would like to thank the Berkley American Legion for their support and guidance throughout this initiative.”

TOWNSEND HOTEL RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF MICHIGAN’S BEST BIRMINGHAM — The annual U.S. News & World Report Best Travel Rankings has recognized Birmingham’s Townsend Hotel as a top hotel in Michigan. Awards, recommendations and ratings expressed by travel experts and guests were used to determine this year’s Best Hotels. “The Townsend Hotel team works very hard to ensure that each and every guest has a memorable experience at our property, for all of the right reasons,” Steven Kalczynski, the managing director of the Townsend Hotel, said in a press release. “It’s always rewarding to receive confirmation, through recognitions like this ranking, that our efforts are hitting the mark.” The Townsend Hotel was ranked fourth behind the Grand Hotel, Hotel Walloon and The H Hotel.
