for aid would come from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund Development Grant. The properties the city wants to obtain are at 37328 and 37356 Utica Road, which are next to and west of Rotary Park. The city says a business, Clinton River Canoe and Kayak, currently owns the land. The business did not respond for comment by press time. Rotary Park is near Hayes Road, at the eastern end See ROTARY on page 10A

Sterling Heights officials plan to apply for a grant that could fund the acquisition of more property to add to Rotary Park. City officials say they hope to expand Rotary Park so they can add restrooms, space for additional parking and more.
A new online program called WaterSmart can give residents more knowledge and control over their “liquid” assets. According to Sterling Heights city officials, residents may enroll in a new web portal called WaterSmart by a company called VertexOne that features ways to pay their monthly water bill or track home water usage. Residents may view the portal via a smartphone app or a desktop computer. The software was recognized by the World Economic Forum for innovation. The cost the city paid for the portal was not known at press time. During an April 4 Sterling Heights City Council meeting, City Manager Mark Vanderpool called the amenity “new and exciting,” and particularly useful for monitoring unusual spikes of activity. Vanderpool said the site gives quick feedback on daily, weekly or monthly usage. According to officials, the portal also measures a household’s water consump-

Police investigated a shoplifting case April 2 at the Kohl’s at 44200 Schoenherr Road, by Hall Road. According to store staff, a woman wearing a tan NASA hoodie and a blue medical face mask was caught on camera hiding merchandise in her purse and then leaving with the items in a red Chevrolet Sonic. The shoplifter reportedly stole three Nike apparel items worth a total of $167: a jacket, a hoodie and sweatpants. Police are investigating.
Altercation reported at fast-food drive-thru
A caller alerted police about a confrontation between a fastfood worker and a customer near Mound Road and Metropolitan Parkway April 1. A caller told police that an argument had ensued between her and a worker while at the drive-thru window over the procedure of making an order. The customer said the employee slapped her on the arm through the drive-thru window and then wanted to fight. Restaurant staff had a different story and said that, after being told to reorder at the drive-thru, the customer started insulting the worker. Although the worker reportedly yelled back, the worker denied that any assault took place, police said. Police said the incident was apparently recorded, though they hadn’t seen the footage at press time. Police said the customer was uninjured and didn’t want medical treatment.
Juveniles flee from police by Dodge Park
A park monitor at Dodge Park, near Dodge Park and Utica roads, told police April 3 that a group of around 10 juveniles took part in throwing around traffic cones under the farmers market pavilion despite being ordered to vacate. The juveniles then reportedly went to the gas station across the street. Police said they arrived at the scene, and the juveniles “fled at the sight of police presence.” The parks official reportedly decided that no further action was required.
Homeless person warned not to step into road
Police said they warned a homeless person who was reportedly witnessed walking into traffic and panhandling at Schoenherr and Hall roads April 3. The individual reportedly was under 30 years old and carried a big sign, police said. Police forbade the person from entering the road. Anyone who has more information about any of these incidents is encouraged to contact the Sterling Heights Police Department by calling (586) 446-2800. — Eric Czarnik

Dads group helps catch suspect accused of sexually pursuing girl BY ERIC CZARNIK eczarnik@candgnews.com
A Sterling Heights man was recently arrested and arraigned for allegedly trying to meet with a 13-year-old girl in order to pursue sexual relations, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office. The county identified the suspect as Sinan Kalemaj, 25, from Sterling Heights. The suspect allegedly contacted someone he mistook to be a 13-year-old girl to arrange a meeting at a Harrison Township grocery store. However, when the suspect went to the store on March 27, he ended up meeting two members of a Dads Against Predators group, which led to the suspect’s arrest, the county said. Someone from Dads Against Predators reportedly pretended to be the girl online. At a March 29 arraignment at 41-B District Court in Clinton Township before Magistrate Ryan Zemke, Kalemaj was charged with three counts of child sexually abusive activity, as well as three counts of using a computer to commit a crime. Each count is a 20-year felony, according to county prosecutors. Kalemaj’s bond was set at $20,000 cash/surety, 10%, with the additional condition of being forbidden from computers if released. According to the MiCourt database, bond in the form of a 10% deposit of $2,000 was posted April 5. In a statement, Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido thanked the Macomb County Sheriff ’s Department for apprehending the suspect. “It’s great that our community looks out for one another and monitors neighborhoods and the internet to keep our citizens safe,” Lucido added. Kalemaj’s listed attorney, Angelo Donofrio, said he had no comment at this time. Emails to Dads Against Predators seeking comment were not returned by press time. Anyone who has more information about this case is encouraged to contact the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office by calling (586) 469-5350. Learn more about Dads Against Predators by visiting www.whoisdap.com. Call Staff Writer Eric Czarnik at (586) 498-1058.

tion compared to its past usage, or compared to a general community average. “This is incredibly useful for any individuals who think they might have a leak of some sort,” he said. “In the past, without this program, you had to wait three months, and if you had a spike in your water bill, you could surmise that you might have a leak.” Officials said the app comes with water conservation tips. It can emit emergency notifications via phone alert or email for leaks, outages and boil advisories. Besides the new portal, the city is offering another choice to residents regarding their water bills. Officials took time to encourage residents to pay their water bills automatically and electronically. Vanderpool said paying with a credit card, or with a checking or savings account can be an easier and greener option. Paperless billing information is sent to email instead. In addition, residents who sign up for both automatic and paperless billing will get a bonus: a $5 per month, or $60 per year, credit off their bills, officials said. Vanderpool praised the new water service features as unique. “I’m not aware of other communities that have developed this sort of program, so Sterling Heights is, I believe, on the leading edge with this,” he said. Ferndale has had the service for several years. At the end of his announcement, Vanderpool also compared the city’s current
monthly cost of water compared to other Macomb County communities. Vanderpool referred to a chart of average residential monthly water and sewer bills in Macomb County communities during the 2022-2023 fiscal year. He said that while Fraser’s monthly cost is $146, Sterling Heights is at $68. The chart also showed that Warren residents pay $69 per month, Shelby Township residents pay $83 per month, and Utica residents pay $111 per month. “Thankfully, Sterling Heights is down at the bottom where we want to be at $68 per month when you look at all these comparable communities, and with the $5 credit, that lowers the bill even a little more,” he said. In a statement, Sterling Heights Mayor Michael Taylor praised the WaterSmart system as an example of a “world-class” service. “Water is a precious resource, and we all have a responsibility to use it wisely. We hope WaterSmart will inspire our residents to not only save money by catching leaks early but also take action to manage their water use to create a sustainable future for our community and our planet.” Sign up for WaterSmart for free by visiting sterlingheightsmi.watersmart.com. Learn how to sign up for paper-free and automatic payments by visiting sterlingheights.net/waterbill. Water billing questions may also be answered by calling the city at (586) 446-2320.

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 mom-and-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.” 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 See RECORDS on page 9A

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 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 exclud-
ing 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.
On the record
The long-standing Melodies and Memories, located at 23013 Gratiot Ave., in Eastpointe, is getting ready for Record Store Day 2023. According to the store’s Facebook page, Melodies and Memories will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. April 22. Giveaway bags will be passed out to the first 25 customers. Found Sound, located at 234 W. Nine Mile Road in Ferndale, is another great spot to take in Record Store Day. Staff will open one hour earlier at 10 a.m. to meet the crowd. Ripe Records Detroit, at 15212 Charlevoix St. in Grosse Pointe Park, has created a page on its website listing everything scheduled for this year’s Record Store Day. Visit www.riperecordsdetroit.com for details. Record Store Day is held twice a year, in April and every November on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.

of the Clinton River water trail in the city. Due to its proximity to the Clinton River, the park is a popular destination for local kayakers and canoers. Sterling Heights Parks and Recreation Director Kyle Langlois discussed how the city, with its new Bocce Barn, just finished the last part of its 2016 Recreating Recreation plan. He explained that this Rotary Park plan is a new, separate initiative. “This is a very unique project and an opportunity for us to expand our footprint down at Rotary Park,” Langlois said. “Rotary Park, as mentioned, is really a gateway to Sterling Heights from the east, and we have a great thing going with the river running through Rotary Park and having our universally accessible paddle landing at that site.” According to Langlois, consulting firm Wade Trim is working with the city to prepare the grant application’s submission. “We’re trying to find some money for the city,” Wade Trim’s Wayne Hofmann said during the meeting. He said that in order for the city to get the grant, the state requires a site development plan. Hofmann explained that the city’s site development plan would put a building for canoe and kayak rentals, a restroom facility, a maintenance storage building, a park office, and additional parking on the acquired land. “Everything that’s in here, you’re not committed to do, but the state wants to see that you have a plan to keep this in recre-
ational use,” he said. The four parcels of property are reportedly valued by the city assessor at an estimated total of $262,800, Hofmann said. With additional fees for things like title insurance and an environmental assessment, that cost could climb to around $279,400, he said. If the city puts up over 25% of the total cost, it’ll get “extra points” toward making it likelier to obtain the grant, Hofmann explained. If the city chooses to pay 30% of the cost, the grant would pay for about $195,580, and the city would pay $83,820, he explained. According to a city document, the city’s portion could be paid with American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 funds. Councilwoman Maria Schmidt said she uses Rotary Park and that she wondered whether the city would eventually take a role in renting out kayaks. Langlois said the city will study its options, whether that means a public-private partnership or the city doing the service by itself. “But the best part about it is if we get our hands on this property, we have options,” he said. Langlois said the grant process could take around 12 to 18 months. A document in the city’s board packet said the trust fund board could make final recommendations by this December. Rotary Park is located at 37250 Utica Road in Sterling Heights. Learn more about Sterling Heights’ parks by visiting www. myshpr.net or by calling (586) 446-2700.

UNDERDOG STORY ENDS WITH NATIONAL RUNNER-UP FINISH FOR MCC MEN’S BASKETBALL BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com
MACOMB COUNTY — The dynamic of community college sports is unlike any other. With the majority of the Macomb Community College men’s basketball team’s roster planning to transfer to Division 1 or Division 2 basketball teams after their freshman year, there was a mutual understanding in the locker room that there was only one shot at a national championship together. “We had a team meeting, and we all knew this was just a one-year thing,” freshman guard Juwan Maxey said. “We knew it was one year, so we had to go all-out to get to that next level. That one year kind of hurt because this team was the best team I’ve ever
been a part of. The one-year aspect hurt a little bit, but it also made us better because we never took any game or practice for granted, and that made us better.” Macomb (28-8) went into the National Junior College Athletic Association Division 2 National Championship Tournament in Danville, Illinois, having reached the tournament only once before — in 201617, when it lost 78-67 to Niagara County Community College in the first round — and they were ready to prove everyone who underestimated them wrong. The stage was set for the 2023 team after Macomb last season won the school’s first Michigan Community College Athletic Association Championship, first MCCAA Eastern Conference Championship since See MCC on page 18A

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

ing. 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 ben-

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 lawnmow-

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 farm-to-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.

eficial for different kinds of pollinators and good insects,” said David Lowenstein, a consumer 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.

DETROIT — Professional golf ’s best will be making their return to the Motor City. Following an unconventional, rain-filled weekend at the Masters in Augusta, Georgia, the Professional Golf Association’s Rocket Mortgage Classic made a splash of its own, announcing early commitments for the midsummer tournament from June 27 to July 2. Two-time major champion Collin Morikawa, who is currently ranked 11th in the Official World Golf Ranking, will make his debut at the Rocket Mortgage Classic this year following a tie for 10th at the Masters. Morikawa, who has four top-10 results in 10 events this season, was the 2020 PGA Championship and 2021 British Open Championship winner, and he has five wins on the PGA Tour in his career. The Rocket Mortgage Classic has showcased the ability to attract high-profile stars in the past, including Patrick Cantlay, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Jason Day and Bubba Watson, but it is looking to find solid ground with the game’s young stars. Bryson DeChambeau, the 2020 Rocket Mortgage Classic champion, was a huge commitment for the tournament when he pledged during his age-27 season, and Morikawa, 26, is a sign that the tournament might be turning a corner toward a continuous commitment of the PGA’s young guns. Other commitments include five-time PGA Tour winner and defending Rocket Mortgage Classic winner Tony Finau, who is currently ranked 14th in the Official World Golf Ranking, and Rocket Mortgage Ambassador and five-time PGA Tour winner Rickie Fowler. “We’re excited to welcome Collin to the Rocket Mortgage Classic for the first time, welcome Tony back to defend his title and have Rickie join us again as he continues his terrific season,” Jason Langwell, executive director of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, stated in a press release. “This is just the beginning of what we expect to be another strong field.” In conjunction with the player commitments, the Rocket Mortgage Classic announced that tickets are on sale at RocketMortgageClassic.com.

1992-93, and first outright Eastern Conference title since 1983-84. With that foundation and key returners in sophomores Jaylen Daughtery, a forward who led the team in rebounds with 233 this season; guard Cameron McEvans; forward Shawn Brown; and guard/forward Tom McNelis, second-year coach Hassan Nizam — who earned Michigan Community College Athletic Association Coach of the Year honors in 2021 — said the team was confident going into the year. “The mindset was to finish the job in terms of Danville and qualifying for the national tournament,” Nizam said. “We felt like last year, we had a top-five, top-six team in the country. It was about finishing; it was about getting back and finishing.” Macomb earned the school’s first national tournament win in school history in a 72-59 first round victory over Chesapeake College on March 21 at Mary Miller Gymnasium in Danville behind freshman guard/ forward Aidan Rubio’s 25-point performance. Rubio would follow up his impressive performance with a dominant 23-point showing, leading Macomb to a 66-63 win over No. 1 seed Davidson-Davie Community College in the quarterfinals on March 22. Rubio, who led Macomb with 12 points per game and 56 blocks on the year, was a dynamic two-way guard and formed a dominant backcourt with freshman guard
Tamario Adley, who finished second in scoring with 11.6 points per game and who had a team-high 45 steals on the year. “If I had to describe both those guys in one word, I’d say ‘special,’” Nizam said. “Aidan and Tamario are both guys who could’ve averaged 20 points per game for us, but they both decided, ‘We’re going to play the right way, and it’s not going to be about an individual; we’re going to play good team basketball.’” In the semifinals against Danville Area Community College on March 24, Adley scored 17 points while Rubio added 16 and a team-high nine rebounds to earn the 69-67 comeback win in overtime over the hometown favorites. Maxey, who led the team in three pointers made this season, added 13 points in the win. Macomb was behind by double digits for the second consecutive game in the tournament, but a 17-3 run launched Macomb into the lead. Danville countered with a 12-2 run of its own to take a four point lead, but Macomb answered to take the game into overtime. That’s when Macomb showcased the nation’s top-ranked defense, holding Danville scoreless the final three minutes in overtime. Nizam, who previously coached at Roseville High School from 2017 to 2021, said the team’s steady structure was key to its defense, which held opponents to 61.6 points per game this season. “We play hard,” Nizam said. “That’s part of why the defensive numbers were See MCC on page 19A

what they were. It’s a credit to our guys and a credit to our coaches for showing up every single day and holding each other accountable and setting the standard high. One thing we talk about in our program, whether it be here or Roseville, is the foundation of your team is built from your first practice to your first game. You’re gonna have to stand on that foundation all year, even when it’s rocky, so you better make sure that foundation is strong.” Riding a 10-game win streak into the national championship game against Milwaukee Area Technical College, Macomb fell short in an 86-65 loss on March 25. Adley led the scoring with 12 points, while Daughtery tallied his second double-double of the tournament with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Freshman guard Linden Holder, who led the team in assists with 121 this season, and freshman forward Tymias Williams, who finished third in scoring on the year with 10 points per game, each added eight. Adley, Rubio and Daughtery were named to the NJCAA Division 2 all-tournament team. Nizam had high praise for his guys and Milwaukee Area Technical College head coach Randy Casey. “He (Casey) had his team more prepared for that national championship than I personally did,” Nizam said. “They had been there for the last three or four years, and they had a lot of success doing it. We just ran out of gas. Our guys played their hearts out all week, and they played their hearts out that night.” While the players poured their hearts into the season, the Macomb coaching staff has proved itself to be one of, if not, the strongest in the Michigan Community College Athletic Association.

(hometown and high school):
Aidan Rubio (Flint/Goodrich), Tamario Adley (Detroit/Warren De La Salle), Tymias Williams (Macomb/Macomb Dakota), Juwan Maxey (Detroit/Renaissance), Kareem Aburashed (West Bloomfield/Detroit Country Day), Jaylen Daughtery (Oak Park/Ferndale), Cameron McEvans (Southfield/Southfield A&T), Linden Holder (Warren/Warren De La Salle), Antonio King (Oak Park/Southfield A&T), Justin James (Sterling Heights/Sterling Heights Stevenson), Tom McNelis (Fraser/ Fraser), Kyle Millender (Detroit/Detroit Edison Public School Academy), Shawn Brown (Oak Park/Oak Park).
contributors to the team’s success. “Those guys are the reason we had great practices,” Nizam said. “Those guys put the game plans together, and those guys are the reason our guys developed the way they did. They deserve way more credit than they get. Hopefully, I think they’re going to be stars in this profession as the years go by.” Just weeks after the season’s end, Nizam has already begun the recruiting process for the 2023-2024 Macomb basketball team. It’s a tough pill to swallow knowing the ride is over with a historic group as guys go their separate ways, but Nizam said they will always be part of the Macomb family no matter where they continue their careers. “Our relationship with them doesn’t end when they take off the Macomb jersey for the last time; that’s really where it begins,” Nizam said. “You come to Macomb, and this is a lifetime commitment that we’re going to make to you and to each other. We want to see you become great fathers and husbands, and just great members of society. We want to see you achieve all your goals.”

NEWSWORTHY INCIDENTS REPORTED TO LOCAL POLICE, AS COMPILED BY C & G REPORTERS
Jeep crashes into business, flees
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 11:25 a.m. March 17, officers were dispatched to a business in the 51000 block of Van Dyke Avenue for a malicious destruction of property report. When the owner came to work, he discovered the front door of the business damaged. A review of security footage showed a white Jeep run into the building. The Jeep is seen driving into the building, then backing up and exiting the parking lot onto Van Dyke. Police were investigating and were trying to find the owner of the Jeep.
Wallet, personal items stolen at gas station store
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.
Customers caught stealing from store found with needles and drugs
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Officers were dispatched to the Circle K gas station, 8069 22 Mile Road, for a retail fraud complaint at 1:37 a.m. March 19. A male suspect and female suspect were seen in the store concealing merchandise. Officers arrived shortly after and detained both suspects. The male had a warrant out of another jurisdiction, and the female was currently on probation. A search of the female’s backpack discovered needles and a vial of lorazepam, a sedative, which she reportedly stated she stole from a local urgent care office. She was arrested and transported to the station for processing.
Two suspects arrested for allegedly taking items off trucks
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 1:22 a.m. March 17, an officer on patrol noticed a pickup truck running and backed into a parking spot with its lights off in a parking lot of a business in the 14100 block of Industrial Center Drive, near 23 Mile and Schoenherr roads.
When the officer drove closer, the driver turned the truck’s lights on and left the parking lot at a high rate of speed. The officer was able to catch up to the truck and initiate a traffic stop at 23 Mile and Wing Drive. As the officer was speaking to the driver, the officer observed several radiators from semi-trucks in the bed of the pickup. Also, several pieces of copper, license plates and tools were observed inside the truck. The two occupants of the truck were both arrested for felony larceny.
Shoplifter arrested with stolen clothes
STERLING HEIGHTS — Police went to Kohl’s, 44200 Schoenherr Road, near Hall Road, March 19 upon hearing that a shoplifting incident was happening. A repeat offender reportedly was filling a purse and a cart with merchandise. The suspect reportedly visited the men’s and children’s clothing sections and took items from them before exiting without paying. Police watched two exits and reportedly saw the suspect leave and then reenter. Police said they apprehended the suspect and took her to loss prevention. Police said they recovered 25 clothing items worth a total of $683 and then arrested the suspect for retail fraud.
Fight witnessed in parking lot
STERLING HEIGHTS — A witness told police that around 10 people were fighting after midnight March 18 in a parking lot near a business in the 43000 block of Van Dyke Avenue, near Utica Road. According to a witness, at some point an “armed individual” appeared. Then people who were involved reportedly left in a navy blue Cadillac and a white SUV, police said.
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.
Burglary reported
ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 8:37 p.m. on March 17, a report was made about a burglary that happened in the 22000 block of Gary Lane between March 16 and March 17. Upon arrival, an officer spoke to the victim, a 41-year-old man, who said his wallet and keys were stolen from his home. He reportedly got home at around 8 p.m. on March 16 and set his wallet and his keys on his China cabinet. When he woke up the next day, both were missing. He said that both his windows and doors were locked during the night. The man said his wallet had $138 and three forms of identification in it.
Gaming PC goes unpaid for
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — On March 6, a resident on Mulberry Street called Clinton Township Police about a case of fraud. The resident reportedly sent another person a gaming computer through the mail on the condition the recipient would send payment afterwards, but the computer has remained unpaid for and the recipient is not in contact with the resident anymore.
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. Staff began questioning the validity of the banknote, and the suspect drove off in a Honda sedan without his questionable cash or the meal.
Retail fraud suspect wanted
GROSSE POINTE FARMS — An unknown woman is said to be wanted for stealing shampoo and cosmetics from the Hill Rite Aid store at around 8:21 p.m. March 22. According to a police report, the suspect brought in her own shopping bag and put makeup and hair care products in the bag. As the suspect headed toward the liquor aisle, an employee offered to put her merchandise on the counter for her. The suspect asked the store employee to put a bottle of tequila in her bag, but the store employee said she needed to see the suspect’s identification first.
The suspect is said to have been telling someone on the phone that she needed identification, and the suspect told the store employee someone would be coming into the store with that documentation. The suspect then reportedly left with the bag containing the cosmetics and hair products, for which she hadn’t paid. The tequila was left behind. She is said to have left the store with more than $110 worth of merchandise and was last seen entering a Ford F-150.
Patient escorted off hospital property GROSSE POINTE CITY — Police said they escorted an unruly patient out of Corewell Health’s Beaumont Hospital, Grosse Pointe, after the patient is said to have made threats against nursing staff at around 12:30 p.m. March 28.
Intoxicated driver stopped
GROSSE POINTE FARMS — Police stopped a 61-year-old Eastpointe woman in the area of Moross Road and Mack Avenue at 8:15 p.m. March 25 when they saw that she was driving on a front driver’s side rim that was almost completely eroded. 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.
Intoxicated driver arrested with child in vehicle
GROSSE POINTE FARMS — A 37-year-old Detroit woman is facing a possible charge of operating while intoxicated, second offense, after a traffic stop in the area of Lake Shore and Moross roads at 7:03 p.m. March 25. Police said the driver was speeding — traveling more than 50 mph in a 35 mph zone — and driving erratically, which prompted another motorist to call 911 to report her. Police said the vehicle also had a dark tint on its windows. The driver failed field sobriety tests and was found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.28% — more than three times the legal limit. Police said she was driving with her 9-year-old son in the vehicle. The driver — who was also found to have a warrant against her out of 36th District Court in Detroit for disorderly conduct and a probation violation out of 28th District Court in Southgate — was arrested for operating while intoxicated. She’s also facing possible charges of child endangerment — her second such charge since a conviction in 2021 — and driving with a suspended license.
