or the first time ever, the Dakota High School drumline won the Michigan Alliance for the Performing Arts (MAPA) Scholastic A drumline championship. “It was a long time coming,” Dakota drumline coach Kurt Reyes said. “Since I’ve been here for over 12 years, it was always one of the bigger goals in mind for the program.” The product of a long year of practicing and success at a series of preliminary events, all leading up to the big day at Eastern Michigan University
on April 2, the win came as a bit of a shock to Reyes and band members. “We came in first place in our very first competition in early January, which was a pretty good starting driving force for us,” Reyes said. “Then we came in second place in our second competition, and that also was another driving force because now we had something to try to attain. It wasn’t like we were on top by a lot for all our competitions, which is why ... getting first place was a good feeling because it was not something I was expecting for MAPA state championships.” Drumline is a type of musical competi-

Record Store Day carries the right tune BY MARIA ALLARD
allard@candgnews.com
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.

‘ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE’ BY BRENDAN LOSINSKI blosinski@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — Conditions such as stress and anxiety can often be easy to ignore or write off as minor problems. However, this April, which is Stress Awareness Month, medical experts want to remind people that caring
for their mental health can be as important as caring for their physical health. Dr. Jeffrey Guina is the program director of the psychiatry residency training program at Corewell Health. He said that while some people have higher risk factors for stress than others, it is a condition that can affect anyone. “Whenever I think about risk factors for anything, I step back and think about things biologically, socially and psychologically. It is both nature and nurture at play. Some risk factors include genetics. We’ve identified certain genes which are associated with higher risks of stress or higher risks

of anxiety disorders or depressive disorders. A lot of these affect serotonin dysfunction, which can affect emotional regulation. Other genes affect cortisol, which is our body’s primary stress chemical,” Guina explained. “If someone has a family history of conditions like PTSD or depression or anxiety, they may be at higher risk of developing disorders themselves. … Environmental factors can make a huge difference. Personal history like child abuse or neglect or trauma from combat can cause a lot of recurrent stress and anxiety in people’s lives.”

Grosse Pointe Woods resident uncovers historic baseballs after 23 years BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com
GROSSE POINTE WOODS — On a typical Sunday, one might spend time in the basement searching for something, cleaning or putting things away. Grosse Pointe Woods resident Cyndy Lambert found herself in a similar situation recently, but the outcome was much different than finding a photo album or holiday decorations. As Lambert was in a corner of her basement where she typically stores comforters and plastic containers, she discovered a Disneyland bag that hadn’t been touched since she moved into her home 23 years ago. Under spiderwebs and dust were 11 signed baseballs from her childhood that she collected at various memorabilia shows and Detroit Tigers games. “I started looking at them and I thought, ‘Wow, this is kind of interesting,’ and I saw some of the names on there,” Lambert said. “I knew about Fat Katz (Sports Cards & Collectibles in St. Clair Shores), so I took them there, and Jimmy there, he said, ‘If you want, I can look at them and let you
know what I think.’ He started calling me going, ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t believe what you got; I can’t believe this was in your basement in a plastic Disneyland bag from the ’70s or whatever.’” One ball held multiple autographs from the 1972 Oakland Athletics, which included Hall of Famers Reggie Jackson, Jim “Catfish” Hunter and Rollie Fingers; another showcased 1970s Baltimore Orioles and featured Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson; and others were multiple Detroit Tigers baseballs from the 1960s and 1970s. While it’s tough to match up against a baseball filled with legends in the case of the 1972 Athletics, a Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees dual-signed baseball dated July 22, 1967 — an 11-4 Tigers win — carries extra historical significance. On July 23, 1967, Detroit police raided an unlicensed after-hours bar, an act that sparked six days of violence in the city that claimed 43 lives and saw approximately 2,500 buildings destroyed and 7,000 people arrested. “The one riot ball, it shocks you once you find out the date and the special things See BASEBALLS on page 9A

Fischer and his son, Jeremy, for working with us so we can get this done,” Township Supervisor Frank Viviano said. “I believe it is going to be very nice for the residents to be able to have access to that property, and it will improve the overall aesthetic of the park when it’s all said and done.” About two acres will be added to the park through the sale. Pitchford Park is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
Zoning notice policy change
After several residents spoke out in January against a rezoning they were not informed of, the Macomb Township Planning and Zoning Department has revised its notification policies. Approved by Macomb Township Board of Trustees on April 12, the new policies require public notice signs be posted on parcels that are being considered for rezoning. The signs are reusable and will cost $150, with one sign going up every 700 feet of consecutive road frontage. The cost will now be part of the rezoning application fee, though parcels are only required to have four signs. Signs will go up at least 15 days be-
fore the public hearing and will be removed within five days of the hearing. Several residents along 25 Mile and Broughton roads spoke against the rezoning of a parcel at that intersection. Approved to be rezoned from residential to commercial, residents argued the 300-foot radius for mailers — which remains township policy — was insufficient due to the distances between homes in more rural parts of the township. “I reached out to a number of folks ... including some neighboring communities,” Planning Director Josh Bocks said. “Shelby, Washington, Clinton, Chesterfield, Rochester (and) Sterling Heights, and it was pretty unanimous that the 300-foot radius for the mailings was what we should stick with. You can run into some troubles trying to justify what other number you use if you chose to expand that. The common solution was to put up signage.” The changes are set to go into effect on June 1. Additionally, two rezoning projects — Hampton Manor of Macomb and Macomb Town Center South, phases II, III, IV and V — were granted extra time to complete their rezonings.

Dr. Asha Shajahan, the medical director of community health for Corewell Grosse Pointe, said that stress can have numerous effects on both the human mind and the human body. “When you get stressed out, people get that fight-or-flight response,” she said. “Your body is fully alert, but different parts of the body are affected by this. Muscles tense up, for instance. This can, when this stress is frequent, can cause headaches or muscle aches, because it happens so often. You also can get rapid heart rate or rapid breathing issues. This can induce panic attacks or cause blood pressure to increase. That in turn can lead to heart attacks or strokes.” Shajahan went on to say that the effects can be wide ranging in ways most people don’t think of. “It can affect the brain-gut health,” she said. “The bacteria that grows normally are affected, so people can get stomach aches, bloating, diarrhea and so forth. The increase of certain hormones and the reduction of
others can cause problems including obesity, diabetes or harm your immune system.” “Not getting enough sleep is another big risk factor,” Guina added. “(Not) getting enough rest, with no TV or radio or phone exuding light, can make our sleep less deep, restful and restorative. Nutrition and exercise are both important factors when dealing with anxiety and stress. Exercise releases endorphins and ensures you get good nutritious meals and makes sure we get all of the right building blocks of serotonin, like B12 and protein; then our body can’t make enough of it to help us regulate emotions and our sleep.” Guina said that among the worst factors that can come into play can be using or overusing a substance to try to artificially control stress and anxiety. “Substance abuse is often a vicious cycle,” he said. “People use substances when they are stressed, which abates it in the short term, but as they develop it as a habit, it can cause dysfunction in their lives, which increases stress in the long term. As Michigan has recently legalized marijuana, people think it reduces stress, but in my experience,

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.

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.

the ball holds, you know,” Fat Katz owner Jimmy Merlo said. On top of the baseball’s place in history, Lambert’s father was a Detroit police officer at that time. “I just remember him calling our house and my mom saying, ‘What’s that noise?’ and he said, ‘It’s just the sound of tracer bullets being shot into the police station,’” Lambert said. “My mom said, ‘Where are you?’ and he was under a desk making a phone call. It was a scary time for everyone.” With the ball holding such history and meaning, Lambert said it was only right that she give it to the Tigers. She had no recollection of the ball and how she came to have it. Lambert, a former Detroit News writer who covered the Detroit Red Wings from 1986 to 1998, reached out to a former colleague to figure out the next steps for the historic ball. “I actually reached out to my former colleague John Niyo at the (Detroit) News, and I said, ‘Hey, do you know someone at the Tigers I could go to for this?’ and he gave me Jordan Field,” Lambert said. “He’s with the Tigers, and he’s an authenticator, and he
had to check with the archive person, Sarah, who got back to me and said, ‘Absolutely.’” The ball will now be heading to the Tigers archive department to be displayed for fans. For Lambert, the ball is going exactly where her father, who was a Tigers fan, would want it to go. “I think my dad would be happy that it’s going to the Tigers,” Lambert said. “It belongs there, as long as they take care of it; that’s what matters.’” Lambert is now holding on to 10 historic baseballs from her childhood. She said she’s found some other baseball memorabilia, including a Steve Kempsigned bat, after getting the motivation to search her basement, but more importantly, she has been able to relive some memories in the process. “It’s gotten me into it again, let me tell you,” Lambert said. “More than anything, it’s taken me back down memory lane and remembering how much time I spent studying baseball and the players. I used to know their earned run average, their batting average and how many home runs they hit. I knew them every day because that’s just how I grew up.” Call Staff Writer Jonathan Szczepaniak at (586) 498-1090.

Prepare your home and protect your family during storm emergencies

fter a long winter full of snow and ice, spring annually brings new challenges in the form of storm emergencies, specifically thunderstorms and tornadoes. According to the National Weather Service, most tornadoes occur in southeast Michigan between April and August, with the peak time in June. Residents can do their best to prepare by creating a plan and stocking their homes with essential items. Emergency Management Specialist Kevin Sadaj, of the Oakland County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Department; Macomb County Director of Emergency Management Brandon Lewis; and Fire Chief Paul Wells, of the Birmingham Fire Department, shared some tips and resources for local families during storm emergencies.
Storm education
The Oakland County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Department offers several resources on its website, www.oakgov.com/community/emergencymanagement, that contain important information for storm emergencies. “We just want people to think about what they are going to do in an emergency,” Sadaj said. “It really entails knowing a little bit of the basics.” For instance, Sadaj said that it is important that people understand what it means when they hear a siren.
“Oakland County has 276 outdoor warning sirens, and we activate them when the National Weather Service issues a tornado warning or severe thunderstorm warning with damaging winds over 70 miles an hour,” Sadaj said. To create less confusion and to alert as many people as possible, if one siren is activated in the county, they are all activated. Each siren is capable of reaching about a 1-mile radius of its location. To stay informed about weather alerts, Oakland county has a self-registering alert system, OakAlert, which emails the community about local emergencies. To sign up, visit oakgov.com. Macomb County also provides resources for the community through its Emergency Management and Communications. Residents can find information about sheltering during a storm, community preparedness, sirens and more on the Macomb County website at www.oemc.macombgov.org/ OEMC-Home. There are about 140 sirens in Macomb County. Each community owns and operates its own sirens, but it can enter into an agreement with the county to activate the sirens on the community’s behalf. “This is the first year that Macomb County is on the integrated warning and public alert system through (the Federal Emergency Management Agency), so we can actually send out cellphone alerts in conjunction with our siren activations, and we plan to start doing that this year.” Lewis said. “We would send out one of those alerts if there’s a severe thunderstorm warning with winds greater than 70 miles an hour basically
to ensure that, if our sirens go off, people in Macomb County get a cellphone alert.” One of the resources provided by the Oakland County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Department is a family emergency plan. This family emergency plan walks families through how they will escape their homes if necessary, where they will meet, how to identify risk factors and hazards in the home, and how they will support special health needs within the family. Wells said the safest place to be during a tornado is in a basement. However, residents without a basement should think about the See PREPARE on page 15A

tion derived from the percussion section of marching bands that employs theatrics and supporting instruments to put together a routine. Dakota’s winning routine was a rendition of a duel between legendary composers conveyed through three actors as well as a rhythm section and the headlining percussionists. “Our performance was about a fight night between Beethoven and Mozart, basically two music composers that were arguing during a concert about whose music was better,” sophomore Madison Flint said. “Toward the end, it was a boxing match between the two composers, and the crowd would cheer to see which composer would win at the end.” While it was the audience that determined the outcome of Dakota’s battle, judges were the ones to determine which ensemble won the day. Dakota’s score of 87.4 narrowly won out over Hudsonville High School’s 86.3, with Dakota scoring consistently better than the west Michigan school on music-related categories. The win’s meaning varies from student to student, a key factor being their prior ex-
perience with the program and their time at Dakota. Spencer Brong, a sophomore, sees this as a new benchmark to keep striving for. “Winning now kind of sets the standard and makes me want to uphold it and makes me thirsty for more,” Brong said. “It makes me want to keep doing it.” For seniors, who had early seasons disrupted by the arrival of COVID-19, they’ll leave Dakota on a high note. “We had a really good music season, we had a really good show, and then all of sudden things changed and that offset the rest of my high school year,” senior Robert Duron said. “Last year, we went back, and we did everything again. And now, to come here after such an interesting high school experience for winter drumline and having (won) first place, I guess I never thought (it) would happen. ... I look back (and) play the videos, and I still get goosebumps from it because it’s so surreal.” For everybody involved, the championship serves as the highest achievement for what was once considered an “underground” activity. Once seen more as a club consisting of about 10 people, according to Reyes, it has grown to a team of 46 people for 2023. “It is such a big difference from where it was in, say, 2018 to now, and that is not See DRUMLINE on page 16A

it does the opposite. Most studies show it worsens anxiety in the long term, and irritability is one of the chief symptoms of its withdrawal.” Both Guina and Shajahan said one of the most important things for people living with stress and anxiety to do is find healthy relaxing activities. “The biggest thing is finding something to help you relax,” Shajahan said. “That tenseness or gut problems needs to be addressed. Regular exercise and proper sleep are the two big things people should be doing. Finding things you enjoy doing, whether it’s going out in nature or spending time with family, also is important. You need those things that help you relax.” “Avoiding those negative things like drugs and alcohol. Seeking support and social activity can help. Friends, family, clergy or psychological professionals can all be part of a good support network,” Guina added. “Formal treatments can be important in a lot of cases, which can include medication. There are dozens of medications which can help with stress and anxiety. Medication is rarely a magic bullet to eliminate a condition
like anxiety, but it can be a key component.” Both experts don’t want people to panic about conditions such as stress, since there are treatments, medications and lifestyle changes that can help. However, Guina pointed out that ignoring such issues can have dire consequences. “Life is difficult. You may think you’ll deal with it later, but there’s a good chance that more stress is around the corner. Unresolved stress or trauma can only pile up with the new. This can mean not keeping up with school or work. You can be irritable or on edge, and it can affect friendships, family relationships or romantic relationships. It can also become internalized and cause social issues and people isolating themselves. We saw a lot of that during the pandemic as people isolated by necessity and had job insecurity. Sites like gyms and places of worship were closed, but liquor stores and marijuana dispensaries were still open, so a lot of people developed poor coping mechanisms,” he said. “Don’t forget that self-harm or suicide can be extreme results from (stress and anxiety). It’s not something that everyone will have to deal with, but for some people, that can be the end of this road if these issues go untreated.” Call Staff Writer Brendan Losinski at (586) 498-1068.

Suzanne Vanderbilt leaves her mark on Cadillac’s Celestiq BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com
WARREN — Named after the pioneering designer Suzanne Vanderbilt, who blazed new trails at General Motors Co. and throughout the automotive industry, Cadillac House at Vanderbilt is currently under construction on GM’s Global Technical Center campus in Warren. Vanderbilt’s unique, maverick, aheadof-her-time spirit is embodied in the facility that dons her name, which will combine a one-of-a-kind, concierge client experience for Cadillac’s first all-electric luxury sedan, the Celestiq. Among only a few women in the automotive design industry, Vanderbilt joined GM Design in 1955 and worked in the Cadillac studio. She made her mark early designing the 1958 Eldorado Seville coupe, called Baroness, and the 1958 Cadillac Saxony convertible. Implementing safety with style and
functionality, she secured two patents while at GM: inflatable back support for the seat, providing additional support in the lumbar area for occupants; and a safety switch for the automobile instrument panel, which reduced injuries from protruding objects in the dashboard. Both patents were assigned to GM. She also secured a safety helmet patent, which was assigned to American Safety Equipment. Vanderbilt, a New York native, earned a Bachelor of Arts in industrial design from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and a Master of Fine Arts from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills. According to GM, Vanderbilt provided mentorship to other women designers before she retired in 1977. The Global Technical Center campus was deemed a National Historic Landmark in 2014 because of its midcentury design. According to GM, this campus set the standard for American corporate campuses and See CELESTIQ on page 16A

Edible landscaping has more benef its than being delicious BY MARY GENSON
mgenson@candgnews.com
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 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.

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

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 See EDIBLE on page 19A

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

best place to take cover prior to a tornado warning. Sadaj said families should also consider their pets in their emergency plans and how they will protect them. In addition to the county resources, some cities, such as Birmingham, have developed emergency management resources of their own. A Family Preparedness Workbook can be found on the city of Birmingham website, bhamgov.org, on the Fire Department page. One of the main pieces of advice Wells said is to stay inside after a storm to prevent being struck by falling tree branches. If residents have to escape their homes during or after a storm, it is important to stay away from anything that can fall down.

Creating an emergency kit is a key way to prepare for a storm or other emergency. The Oakland County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Department has made a checklist for families to follow. This kit includes 36 essential items such as food, a multipurpose tool, a flashlight, a dust mask, blankets, medication and more. A helpful piece of equipment is a generator; however, they can be a fire and air-quality hazard if not properly used. “If you’re going to use a generator, you need to make sure it’s being run safe,” Wells said. “I’ve had an uptick of portable generators causing carbon dioxide in homes, and an uptick in whole house generators doing the same thing.” Lewis said he recommends that anyone with a generator consult a professional on how to hook it up and to make sure to operate the generator outdoors away from the home. The complete list of emergency kit items and other resources can be found at www. oakgov.com/community/emergency-management. Call Staff Writer Mary Genson at (586) 498-1095.

was the first major commission for modern architect Eero Saarinen. Cadillac House at Vanderbilt sits in a single-story building, with a glass curtain wall displaying expansive views of the campus and lake. The building showcases Saarinen’s modern style with travertine and terrazzo slabs, wood panels and stainless steel details. The 36-by-10-foot sculptural screen of glimmering gold, designed by Harry Bertoia, a Detroit-based artist and designer, is one of the building’s most notable features. The facility will be the site of the exclusive concierge design services for the Celestiq. “No two Celestiq are alike,” said Joseph Singer, GM’s senior manager for Cadillac Communications. In prepared remarks, GM’s Bryan Nesbit, executive director of Global Cadillac Design, said, “Every Celestiq is personally commissioned and working on-site with our Cadillac designers provides clients an elevated experience. It’s a unique opportunity to collaborate with our design team, enabling clients to directly translate their vision of their Celestiq into a one-of-one piece of moving sculpture.” Cadillac House at Vanderbilt will welcome its first clients in late summer 2023. The concierge experience can be had by Celestiq clients in person, as well as virtually from around the globe. The company said a keen attention to detail is implemented from the beginning of the process to the end. “From start to finish, the process is

Each Celestiq is tailored to reflect its owner’s tastes, which are conveyed directly to the design team.” The name Celestiq comes from the combination of celestial and IQ. “The name itself combines the otherworldly, even the divine with human intelligence, to capture the aspirational spirit of Cadillac,” said Singer. “This vehicle represents the ultimate expression of Cadillac design and technology, with a bold, dramatic presence, and unparalleled refinement and innovation.” The price of this “custom, one-ofa-kind, sculpture in motion” starts at $300,000. Production is limited and available through inquiry only. When asked about potential Celestiq customers, Singer said, “The ultra-luxury client is an extremely unique, maverick personality that ultimately matches the brand spirit of Cadillac.” “In the past, Cadillac was the standard of the world. People talked about the Cadillac of things.” said VP of Global Design Michael Simcoe in a Celestiq video. “We really, honestly, wanted to bring back that level of detail, passion and engagement for the customers.” According to Simcoe, “We’re reinventing American luxury, automotive luxury,” Call Staff Writer Gena Johnson at (586) 498-1069. that will push us onto a big incline.” Even with the state championship under its belt, the Dakota drumline has no time to rest on its laurels.

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 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.
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 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.

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

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-to-grow 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.

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 dollars 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.”

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.
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.

“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.
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.

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.
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?”
