METRO DETROIT — Cue those turntables: It’s time to kick out the jams. On April 22, local independent record stores will open up shop for Record Store Day 2023. Record Store Day, held internationally, was launched in 2007 to give employees and customers the chance to gather and celebrate the independent record store culture. In addition, record companies release new
music or re-release albums on vinyl not available elsewhere. That could include picture discs and LPs from bands no longer together. “Record Store Day started out when vinyl was making a comeback,” said Davey Taylor, who with wife Lisa Taylor owns Weirdsville Records at 61 Macomb Place in Mount Clemens. “It’s about helping the momand-pop shops. Sometimes you get a lot of new customers that have never been to the store or new people who just got a record player.” See RECORDS on page 2A

HARRISON TOWNSHIP — Old, flat, unused and expensive: so says the Harrison Township Board of Trustees about a strip of land the township owns. At the March 27 board meeting, trustees voted to hire the services of attorney Robert Huth to help work through the process of abandoning the Harrison Park Landing, a stretch of land between South River Road and Riverside Bay Court and parallel to the northern end of Emerick Road Park. Township Supervisor Ken Verkest said the strip was given to the township when the Harrison Park neighborhood was built. “When land was platted so it could be resold, it was common back at that time to provide access to the river because there was this notion that there was this universal need for access to water,” Verkest said. “Who would want a piece of land if they couldn’t access the river?”

Back in February, a compilation of the music to be released April 22 — along with a list of participating stores — was posted at www.recordstoreday.com. Recordings from various artists — including John Lennon, P.M. Dawn, Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, the Black Keys and Van Halen — will be available in vinyl format. “It’s stuff from the ’80s, ’90s and 2000s that has never been on vinyl before. It’s the only day you’ll be able to get specific titles,” Taylor said. “It’s music only available to independent record stores, not the big box stores.” On April 22, Weirdsville Records will have 20% off used merchandise. Taking it one beat further, patrons can groove to the vibe of Record Store Day with live music beginning at 1 p.m. from two bands: the Slot Rods and the Fabulous Hen House Boys.
‘It generates business and lets people know that record stores still exist.’
Several local record store owners predict this year’s big seller will be Taylor Swift’s “Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions.” “Anything Taylor Swift does will be popular,” said Henry Pardike, who manages UHF Records
at 512 S. Washington Ave., in downtown Royal Oak. Pardike also predicts “Live With The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra” by The 1975 will be popular. “That’s one of the biggest pop bands right now,’ Pardike said. “A new Beach House EP is coming out and the Mars Volta has a reissue of an EP of theirs.” According to Pardike, Record Store Day was scaled down in 2020 and 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it came back “to a normal session” in 2022. “It’s an extremely busy day, but it’s also a fun day,” Pardike said. “Many people are looking for very specific things. A lot of (titles) are limited releases. To cut down on flippers, people can’t buy multiple copies of anything.” Some music fans travel for hours to shop. “There are people that come down from Traverse City, Alpena and Sault Ste. Marie,” Pardike said. “Most people make a day of it.” Pardike believes vinyl LPs made a resurgence because “everyone loves music.” “People want the artifact,” he said. “They’re not just listening to the music on their phones. They look at the linear notes.” Some take the event so seriously, they line up hours before the stores open. That has been

Mount Clemens rolls out ‘a new way that we will process blight’ BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgenws.com
Photo by Dean Vaglia
Mount Clemens City Commissioner Barb Dempsey speaks up during the April 3 meeting to discuss issues she has with approving the GFL Environmental Inc. waste services contract renewal. Her questions led to the item being tabled until more information is available.
City puts final touches on Administrative Hearings Bureau MOUNT CLEMENS CITY COMMISSION ALSO DISCUSSES TRASH CONTRACT MOUNT CLEMENS — At its meeting on April 3, the Mount Clemens City Commission paved the way for the Administrative Hearings Bureau to have the force of law. Two items directly handed by the commission, as well as two items approved through consent agenda, rounded out the legislative side of setting up the bureau, putting everything in place for it to become the city’s blight and property maintenance enforcement body by Monday, April 17. First approved was the adoption of fees and fines associated with the bureau. First, second and third viola-
tions will cost $50, $100 and $200, respectively, if paid within 14 days and $75, $125 and $225, respectively, if paid after the 14-day period. Other approved charges include $75 for prosecution costs, if needed; a $10 state justice system assessment, as required by the state; and $50 fees for continuance/adjournments, show cause hearings, defaults, and any motion to set aside a default. Officers for the bureau were set through consent agenda — Timothy Juengel and Stanley Hirt — and the commission unanimously voted to set the bureau officer pay rate at $65 an hour. The officers are expected to serve based on availability. “Mr. Hirt will probably be the least one used,” Interim City Manager Gregg Shipman said. “They both

MOUNT CLEMENS — Nobody likes blight on their block. Whether a lawn is unkempt or a building is falling apart, buildings left to blight are an eyesore at best and a hazard at worst. Laws enforcing blight are on the books, though enforcement requires police and courts to get involved. But in Mount Clemens, a change is coming. The product of months of planning and many City Commission sessions, the Administrative Hearings Bureau has finally come into effect. “The (AHB) is a new way that we will process blight,” Mount Clemens Mayor Laura Kropp said. “What we formerly did was we took blight complaints and those through our enforcement department and also through 41B District Court.” Under the AHB system, property owners that receive a blight infraction will receive a letter with the upcoming monthly hearing date that spells out a process to either correct the violation or explain their case before a hearings officer. “Basically, all of the blight violations will be processed in-house now,” Kropp said. AHBs are a power given to Michigan cities in Section 117.4 of the Home Rule City Act of 1909, but Kropp says the city’s system is based on the one in Port Huron. “Myself and former city manager Don Johnson were invited to a Kiwanis meeting where one of the officers from Port Huron was giving a talk on the (AHB) process that they have in Port Huron,” Kropp said. “He’s been a part of that since the inception of that, so he explained it to us and we saw the success that Port Huron has had with it.”

Shoppers visit vendors in Pavilion 1 at Prince Drewry Park on Sept. 28, 2022, the first day of the 2022 Market Days event series. The Clinton Township Board of Trustees approved the 2023 Market Days series to start in May and end in August.
Clinton Trustees approve Drewry Park Market Days CLINTON TOWNSHIP — The Prince Drewry Park Market Days event series is back for 2023 after a unanimous vote at the April 10 Board of Trustees meeting. Originally approved through contentious debate over budgeting, timing and how it would impact resources, the threeday event was approved without conflict or debate. “We are enthusiastic that the township is taking a part in helping organize this event and really helping us professionalize the event,” Trustee Mike Keys said. “Hopefully, we will help make sure it continues on from year to year.” The event will be covered via a $6,000 amendment to the Recreation Department’s budget. Events will take place on May 20, June 28 and August 26 and feature local vendors selling goods under the park’s shelters. Bounce houses and other activities will be present on the market days, too. Three events were held last fall at the park along Quinn Road. Set up by the Prince Drewry Advisory Committee as part of a broader mission of improving the park, organizers took inspiration from the Dodge Park market event. A minimal fee is collected from vendors to help cover expenses.
CDBG comments and assignment
On April 10, the board held a public hearing regarding its allocation of 2023 Community Development Block Grant funds, granted to the board from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. With $605,606 to work with, a public hearing was held to allow residents and in-
terested parties a chance to weigh in on how the funds are used ahead of the May 8 board meeting. Representatives for Care House and Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers spoke before the board, and board members approved a $2,444 CDBG fund allocation to IVC to aid its senior care services.
Selling township-owned lots
The board also approved selling three township-owned residential lots. While not the first time the board has done such things, this round of selling property was different because all of the lots were vacant. Originally taken through foreclosures, the properties were sold for $1,000 each on the condition single-family homes are to be built. “The idea here is that we want to find builders that want to build single-family homes,” Treasurer Paul Gieleghem said. “That ... gets those back on the tax rolls, but it also expands opportunities for home ownership.” Giambanco Building Co. purchased one lot on Mabon Drive while Biondo Building Co. purchased lots on Abrahm Street and Woodward Street.
Reappointments
Trustees also appointed two people to boards and committees. Lynda Locke was reappointed to the Clinton-Macomb Public Library Board on the recommendation of Library Director Larry Neal. She’ll serve another term ending on April 30, 2027. Marilyn Wittstock was reappointed to the Inclusive Playground Committee, adding two more years to a term that began in April 2020 and is now set to end on June 30, 2025.

Edible landscaping has more benefits than being delicious E
arly spring is an important time to start planting seeds that will bud and bloom throughout the warmer months. Some local residents have decided to incorporate landscaping that is not only ornamental but also edible. Growing edible landscaping at home has several benefits, including its economic and environmental impacts. This kind of landscaping can be taken to various different levels and include a range of different plants. Rochester Hills resident and Sylvan Table Executive Chef Christopher Gadulka utilizes edible landscaping at work and at home. Sylvan Table in Sylvan Lake is a farmto-table restaurant where they grow produce right outside of the dining area. Gadulka was immersed in the culture of edible landscaping on a trip to Switzerland, where he noticed that a majority of the “lawns” were actually community gardens where functional plants grew for people to harvest. Even the wildflowers they grew were
edible. When he returned home, instead of growing traditional ornamental plants in his yard, Gadulka began planting edible plants such as marigolds, ostrich ferns and ramps. One of his favorite edible landscape examples is the dandelion. These plants are 100% edible, as long as they are not sprayed with any chemicals.
Environmental benefits
Because of global supply chain issues, there are many invasive species that have spread into Michigan. As a result, these invasive species take nutrients from the environment that Michigan-based plants would use to thrive, taking over that part of the environment and changing the soil culture. “The garlic mustard green right now is a huge invasive,” Gadulka said. “It is a great edible. It is similar in flavor to horseradish or wasabi, with a little bit of spice to it. It’s one of those (plants) that, if you have a little bit in your yard, you will never get rid of it, and the best thing to do is eat it.” Other edible invasive species Gadulka
mentioned are purslane and autumn olive. By using a grass alternative such as thyme, residents can do their part in helping the environment by using less water and reducing carbon emissions by not lawnmowing. This practice doubles as an economic benefit by saving money on water and mowing equipment. These thyme lawns can be used as herbs
and are beneficial in bringing bees and other pollinators back to the area. Edible landscaping can also improve the nonedible landscaping in the area around it. “There are a number of edible plants, herbs and vegetables whose flowers are beneficial for different kinds of pollinators and good insects,” said David Lowenstein, a con-

work for Port Huron, and he does the least amount of work out of the ones they have at Port Huron because he’s obviously semiretired.” The final Administrative Hearings Bureau item handled by commissioners was the second reading and approval of amendments to the city’s elimination of blight ordinance. The approved amendments change the ordinance to have the bureau serve as the blight enforcement mechanism.
Garbage pickup contract
A discussion on the residential garbage contract with GFL Environmental Inc. was tabled so more information can be brought to commissioners. The Toronto-based waste services provider approached the board looking for a five-year extension of its contract with Mount Clemens, which expires on June 4. The current cost of residential pickup of trash, recycling and yard waste is $11.11 per household, and the extension would increase the cost to $12.99 per household by a rate of 3.5% annually.
Commissioner Barb Dempsey spoke concerning the lack of information about curb carts from GFL. While Public Services Director Jeffery Wood explained GFL allows the use of 32-gallon containers for trash pickup as long as the contents are less than 32 gallons, a request for pricing on specialty carts has gone without response. In order to wait for that information to come in, the commission voted to table the issue until a later meeting. “I would like to (wait on a vote), at least so that we have some concrete information when people start to ask why we voted one way or the other or why we didn’t give them a choice,” Dempsey said. “I would feel more comfortable having that answer in front of me.”
Mentzer honored, gives legislative updates
in lieu of taxes to each and every community that hosts county government, and we would like to see a sliding scale … and we would like to see a payment based on our population, our median income and the percentage of property.” Mentzer does not think getting such legislation through will be easy — she said meetings with SEMCOG and the MML were “fractious” — but that she and other representatives are pursuing a PILOT program.

CREUSE TRACK AND FIELD ‘THEY’LL NOTICE OUR NAMES’ L’ANSE LOOKS TO CHANNEL ‘WINNING ATTITUDE’ HARRISON TOWNSHIP — One is chance. Two are coincidental. And three, well that’s a pattern. There’s a pattern taking place with Harrison Township L’Anse Creuse athletics. L’Anse Creuse’s football team earned the school’s first district title in program history back in November. The basketball team won the school’s first district title since 2018 in March. Now, that school-wide impact is carrying the momentum over to the track and field season. “I think there’s an energy and a winning attitude at
L’Anse Creuse this year that has been pretty different from all the other years I’ve been here,” boys track and field head coach George Woods said. “I think this year, things have been transitioning from football to basketball, and I think by us winning that indoor championship with track, I just think the atmosphere at L’Anse Creuse and the kids at L’Anse Creuse deserve notoriety.” That momentum has not only carried to the boys side, but also for the girls track and field as well.
Boys track and field
Like their football and basketball counterparts, the boys track and field team is ready to make its own name at the
school. On March 28 at the Macomb County indoor championship at Macomb Community College’s South Campus, L’Anse Creuse boys track and field started its 2023 campaign with a tie for first place with Utica at 64 points. Seniors Cameron Sherrill and Robert Galan took first and second, respectively, in the 600-meter while senior Chad Jacobs earned first in the 60-meter hurdles. Jacobs, who finished second in scoring for the basketball team this season, was also a part of the district-winning football team. Jacobs is one of many players on the squad to play both basketball and football at the school, including seSee TRACK on page 9A

nior Donovan Weatherly and juniors Salim Fleming, Quincy Dorsey, Amari Brownlee and Jimmy Tamburrini. Jacobs said the momentum from both football and basketball continues to live with the track and field team. “I played on the football team, too, and it’s the same thing from football to basketball with the energy and just wanting to succeed and win everything we can,” Jacobs said. “So, it just transitions over a lot when we know what it’s like to succeed, and we want that feeling again.” Weatherly teamed up with Sherrill, Galan and senior Drew Cimini to earn first in the 4x400 relay. Fleming finished tied for third in the high jump while sophomores Alex Habarth and Aidan Daly finished third and fourth, respectively, in the 1-mile. Daly said the Macomb County meet was a significant confidence booster for the squad. “I think it (the confidence) probably went up a lot after Macomb,” Daly said. “We had a couple guys back. We graduated a lot of seniors last year, which was kind of a bummer, but us sophomores and some really good seniors are looking to make a statement.” With L’Anse Creuse’s seniors in their final season, they’re looking to do more than just that. Football and basketball have set a precedent for accomplishing program-altering
feats, and now, the baton has been passed to track and field. Finishing behind St. Clair in back-toback years in the Macomb Area ConferenceGold division, L’Anse Creuse will look to earn their first league title since earning cochampion honors in 2011. “Right now, we might not be noticed as much,” sophomore thrower Dominic Weatherly said. “By the end of the year, they’ll notice our names.” Seniors Alan Ouyang, Shane Lewicki, Jack Ketelhut and Josh Manish; junior Benjamin Ashley; and sophomores Donovan Rey and William Catalfio will all look to make significant contributions.
Girls track and field
The momentum doesn’t stop with the boys team, for the girls track and field team is coming off a season where they had multiple individual state qualifiers. Senior Ke’vina Finch, a state qualifier in the 100-, 200-, and 400-meter dash, returns as one of a select few seniors on a roster consisting of 43 athletes. Leading L’Anse Creuse to a secondplace finish at the Macomb County indoor championship on March 28 with a firstplace finish in the 60- and 200-meter dash, Finch is picking up right where she left off in 2022. “Honestly, this year, I’m trying to do big things and break records,” Finch said. “It’s been very exciting, and I’m ready to push myself to my limits.” Alongside Finch is her sister, sophomore Kandis Finch, who finished fourth in the
60-meter and third in the 200-meter dash. Kandis Finch headlines an incredibly talented sophomore class, and one that was much needed after graduating two state finals runners in Micah Martin and Xena Berger. Leading the sophomore class with Finch is Shelby Stabile, who finished fifth in the 1-mile, Lexie Vadio, and Taylor Harbour. What appeared to be a questionable year for L’Anse Creuse due to its youth has now turned into excitement after the Macomb indoor meet. “We’re pretty well rounded, and we graduated the house last year,” girls head coach Ken Render said. “We had some superstars and some real, real quality athletes. We thought this was going to be somewhat of a rebuilding year, but they came through at the indoor meet.” While graduating an impressive senior class, the four seniors L’Anse Creuse holds going into this season are a strong core. Alongside Finch, seniors Faith Kunnuji and Josie Doss have led the leadership group
for L’Anse Creuse this season, but don’t count out the strong junior core of Kaitlyn Rackley, Kamryn Pitts, Sophia Schneider, Raine Redding and Alaina Dujardin from making some noise in their respective events this season. Like any good team, it all starts with the seniors. “They’re a big key to our success from the standpoint of not only do they run well and not only do they perform well, they share that training with the younger ones also,” Render said. As L’Anse Creuse heads into their dual meet season, there’s a lot more energy and excitement surrounding not just the girls, but the program as a whole. Doss said she feels the team is ready for the challenge and said the confidence from last season has transitioned into their 2023 campaign. “I do believe so,” Doss said. “I believe last year was such a great year, and it’s coming over because the same girls know each other and want to do better.”

the case at Village Vinyl, located at 5972 Chicago Road in Warren. The store will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 22 with lots of giveaways throughout the day. “We’re running 20% off selected items and 10% off everything in the store excluding the Record Store Day items. It’s a very exciting time. It generates interest. It generates business and lets people know that record stores still exist,” said Village Vinyl owner John Lehl, who expects to receive titles from the Ramones, Motörhead, The Cure and others for Saturday. “We’ve ordered from different vendors and different distributors. The big one this year is Taylor Swift,” Lehl said. “Every generation is buying records now, even little kids. Listening to a record is an experience. Rather than hitting a button, a lot of people that like vinyl and music can look at pictures and read linear notes.” Lehl has witnessed many performers become fashionable again based on how the music is getting out there. The 2018 film “Bohemian Rhapsody,” starring Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury, is a prime example. “When they put the Queen movie out, there was a lot of interest,” Lehl said. “With ‘Stranger Things,’ Kate Bush is selling again.” People also stock up on music when an artist dies, as was the case when fans mourned the death of guitar icon Jeff Beck in January.
Vinyl Village, celebrating its six-year anniversary this month, has become a staple for rock ‘n’ rollers. “A lot of people come to this store for metal and punk,” said staff member Daniel Loines, but other genres of music have been a hit, too. “Lana Del Rey is doing really well, and the Gorillaz.” Village Vinyl staff members include Adam Davey, Molly O’Brien and Lehl’s daughter, Miranda Lehl.

Landscaping from page 6A
sumer horticulture extension educator for the Michigan State University Extension. “That can not only help the edible plants but any wildflowers or other ornamental plants you have by attracting natural predators.”
Economic benefits
By using edible landscaping, residents can save money all summer on produce. Instead of spending money at the store, they can step outside and harvest fruits and the vegetables that they want for dinner. Gadulka said dandelions are once again a prime example of edible landscaping’s economic benefits. They are known to grow plentifully, and they are free. By letting dandelions grow, residents can harvest them for salads, teas and more. Rick Rigutto, the farm manager at Sylvan Farm, shared the benefits from a business standpoint of keeping food production as close as possible to where it is eaten. “The closer that remains, the more dol-
lars stay in the local community,” Rigutto said. “Working with your local farms within your region and in your state helps keep those dollars recirculating closer to home.”
Tips for edible landscaping at home
While the idea of incorporating edible landscaping may seem overwhelming to some residents, Rigutto said the best way to begin is by starting small and building from there. Gadulka suggested starting by creating a rain garden. This is a type of garden that has native perennials and shrubs planted in a depression on the ground in order to soak up and store stormwater runoff. Several edible flowers and plants can be planted in these rain gardens, including asparagus, rhubarb and strawberries. Lowenstein also expressed the importance of starting off small. He said there are many microgreens that are great, easy-togrow edible plants to start with. “Plant what you think you would like to eat, or what your neighbors or friends would like to eat,” Lowenstein said.

Emerick Road Park is at the corner of South River Road and Emerick Street, near the Harrison Park plat the township is looking to get rid of.
Land from page 1A
Given the need to use the river for essential transportation as well as recreational water use, strips of land about 100-feet wide and 300-400 feet deep were set up along the Clinton River when neighborhoods were built. Some of these landings house utility access points or serve other municipal functions, but the Harrison Park Landing is little more than a money pit according to Verkest. “We’re paying over $2,000 a year to mow the lawn and there’s some trees on the one lot we’ve had to pay before to trim or take branches down,” Verkest said. “And we also have a couple of different neighbors in that neighborhood that use it for their own storage area — which is really a violation, so now you’re into enforcing things. ... It’s just not a reasonable piece of property to hang on to.” Seeking to divest the land and have it declared sellable residential property — and claiming turning it into parkland would be a privacy concern for neighboring residents due to a lack of space between homes — the Board of Trustees hired Huth to work
through the legal process. According to Huth, the first part of this process is notifying residents in the area that an amendment to the plat is being considered and allowing them an opportunity to voice their opinion on the matter. Following this after an amount of time, the township will bring a lawsuit to circuit court in order to start the judicial steps of the process. This step can lead to some confusion for neighbors who might not understand the point of the township filing a lawsuit about the affected plat. “People think of a lawsuit as somebody asking for money, but this is different,” Huth said. “The township is not asking for money; the township is just asking to change a designation of property.” Huth says the process takes about six months to complete and will require at least two more actions by the board, which he expects to occur within the next 30 days. If everything goes according to the township’s plans, the land will be reclassified as residential and become available to purchase from the township. For more information, call the township supervisor’s office at (586) 466-1445.

Following the meeting, investigating AHBs in other cities and taking into consideration past complaints about the effectiveness of Mount Clemens’ prior blight enforcement procedures, Johnson and Kropp got the ball rolling toward an adoption of the system in Mount Clemens. The last approvals from the City Commission were made on Monday, April 3. Port Huron is where the Mount Clemens AHB finds its first two hearing officers, Timothy Juengel and Stanley Hirt. Officers are appointed by the City Commission and have to meet certain requirements. “There is only one person that presides over (hearings), and that’s the (AHB) officer,” Mount Clemens Interim City Manager Gregg Shipman said. “They have to be a licensed, practicing attorney for at least five years. They have to go through a course that we provide that educates them on the pro-
cess.” As for how residents and property owners may come to face — or dispute — the officers, Shipman says the AHB system allows for ticketed people to resolve problems before even attending a hearing. “Now, you start out with a ticket, and there’s a fine attached to it,” Shipman said. “However, if you complete the cleanup or fix the problem within a timely fashion, then the fine goes away.” Under the prior blight enforcement process — which is still in effect for cases started before the AHB went into effect — not fulfilling the ticket’s request means a day in court. “The main thing is this isn’t about money, this is about compliance,” Shipman said. “It’s just about getting everybody to comply and make our city a more beautiful, better place.” More information about the Mount Clemens AHB can be found at mountclemens.gov or by calling code enforcement at 586-469-6800 ext. 905 or 930.

ANTON ART CENTER HOSTING ‘FAMILIAL(AR)’ EXHIBITION
Image provided by the Anto
n Art Center
MOUNT CLEMENS — The Anton Art Center presents “Familial(ar)” (pronounced ‘Familial, Familiar’), a new exhibition curated by artist JenClare Gawaran that explores multicultural identity as formed by immigration through visual art composition. An artist and educator from metro Detroit, Gawaran is curating her first exhibition for the Anton Art Center and the center’s first premiere guest-curated event of 2023. “I sought out artists who are either the first or second generation of families who immigrated to the United States in the mid-20th century or later,” Gawaran said in a statement. “Their work explores dualities of cultures, the evolution of cultural expectations and customs with each new generation, as well as roots and ties with their familial and current homelands. These themes are expressed through the imagery of relics, landscapes, portraiture or mementos of childhood.” Artists were selected from across the United States to reflect on elements of their Cuban, Filipino, Iranian, Mexican, Turkmen and Ukrainian heritages in combination with their American cultural experiences across multiple artistic mediums. “Familial(ar)” opens April 29 and closes May 26, with an opening reception and curator’s talk on Saturday, April 29, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the Anton Art Center’s second floor. This event is free and open to the public. For more information visit theartcenter.org.

APRIL IS THE MONTH OF THE MILITARY CHILD
LANSING — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer proclaimed April as the Month of the Military Child, which recognizes the important role military children play in supporting their families during deployments, relocations and other challenging circumstances. According to U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul D. Rogers, adjutant general and director of the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, there are more than 17,000 children of service members in Michigan who are directly affected by military deployment. Local communities are encouraged to schedule activities in support of military children. That could include promoting the Month of the Military Child on websites along with links to resources for military families, special announcements at spring sporting events, or military-themed projects and observances at home or in schools. The DMVA synchronizes strategic, legislative and fiscal initiatives designed to build and sustain military readiness, care and advocacy for veterans and cultivate purposeful partnerships. Branch operations include Michigan Veteran Homes, Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency, Army National Guard and Air National Guard which stand in support of the department’s mission to serve every member.

HIGHLAND PARK LOSES GLWA APPEAL METRO DETROIT — The Michigan Supreme Court has rejected Highland Park’s request for an appeal of a 2022 ruling requiring the city to pay $24 million in water and sewer fees to the Great Lakes Water Authority. Amounting to more than $56 million over the last 11 years, Highland Park’s debts to the GLWA were being shouldered by other communities using the authority’s services. In 2022, the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled on a 2014 case filed by the city of Detroit and the GLWA that Highland Park must pay $21 million and $3 million in interest over its failure to fully pay water and sewer charges. Highland Park turned to the Michigan Supreme Court for an appeal, but the court denied the request on Tuesday, April 4.

STATEWIDE — A new study reveals that Michigan is the safest state for truck drivers in the U.S. The Simplex Group, a premier service provider for America’s trucking industry, analyzed 2022 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The study measured the percentage of large trucks involved in fatal crashes in 2022 compared to all fatal vehicle crashes per state to declare the state with the least percentage of truck incidents. The study revealed that Michigan is the safest state for truck drivers on the road, as 4.72% of its fatal crashes involved large trucks. The state recorded 1,567 vehicles involved in life-threatening crashes, and 74 large trucks were recorded by the NHTSA. “This research offers an interesting insight into which states are nearing the goal of making roads safer for truck drivers. It also highlights the states that might need to consider implementing more truck-safe road systems for drivers,” a Simplex spokesperson said in a prepared statement. “According to the NHTSA, there have been 4,842 large trucks involved in fatal crashes in the past year, so this study could alert truck drivers to better prepare when journeying in these particular states.”

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 9:45 p.m. March 12, officers were dispatched to Murphy USA on 23 Mile Road near the Van Dyke Freeway for a larceny report. The caller stated that his keychain, wallet, car keys, AirTag and AirPods case were stolen from the checkout area inside the store. Officers arrived at the gas station and spoke to the caller, who stated that he placed his wallet and keychain on the counter when checking out. He stated that, after he paid, he forgot to retrieve his wallet and keychain. He went outside and then came back inside the store about five minutes later after pumping gas. At that point, his items were missing. Some of his missing items were later located near the roadway and were damaged, as they appeared to have been thrown from a moving car. The detective bureau was investigating.

Vehicle taken from home
ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 7:15 a.m. on March 18, a report was made about a vehicle theft that happened in the 26000 block of Harmon Street between March 17 and March 18. Officers spoke with a 48-year-old man who said he asked his son, 23, why the garage door was open. When his son went to check, he saw that his vehicle was stolen and his father’s vehicle had its passenger side window broken out. The vehicle was last seen by the son at approximately 11:30 p.m. the previous night. A handgun was also in one of the compartments in the car. The son didn’t know who would steal the vehicle and the father said they lost the remote for the garage door, which could be how the suspects got in. The last ping of the vehicle’s locator showed it was in Highland Park. Officers spoke with a neighbor, a 42-year-old woman, who said she saw the garage door open at approximately 4:30 a.m. when she let her dog out. Later in the day, the son reportedly came back to the police station with videos provided by a neighbor.
The buck stops at the Bell
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — A case of counterfeit cash spending unfolded before workers at the Garfield Road Taco Bell on the evening of Feb. 25. The suspect ordered a small meal and presented a $100 bill.

The driver, who police said had slow and slurred speech and smelled of alcohol, told police she didn’t realize she was driving on the rim and not the tire. She admitted to having consumed one drink that evening. She was arrested for operating while intoxicated after being found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.19% — more than twice the legal limit — in a preliminary breath test.
Gnarly! STATEWIDE — When it comes to reading about fashion on the internet, Michiganders search for styles of the 1980s the most, according to research conducted by the website Boohoo.com. Boohoo is a fashion retailer in the U.S., specializing in women’s, men’s and plus-size clothing. The research included studies in all 50 states. The second most popular fashion decade to search was the 1990s, with the 1970s as the third most viewed among Michigan residents. “(The 1980s) is the most searched for decade in 36 out of 50 states, including Michigan, with California, Texas, Pennsylvania and Florida searching for it the most,” according to a Boohoo spokesperson. “As the ’80s is now the most searched for fashion decade, iconic retro clothing has the potential to become increasingly popular in the coming years. With this in mind, will consumers embrace this bold, bright decade in 2023?”
