HARRISON TOWNSHIP — Green, stinky and ruining whatever it touches: That has been the calling card of the algae terror of Lake St. Clair, known so far only as Lyngbya. The lake muck showed up around 10 years ago and has plagued communities from Harrison Township to St. Clair See MUCK on page 6A

Clinton Township drain spill remains under watch BY DEAN VAGLIA

dvaglia@candgnews.com

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — An early March chemical spill in Clinton Township’s Canal Road drain remains under daily watch by the Macomb County Public Works Office, according to a spokesperson for the agency. Originally discovered by the Clinton Township Department of Public Works late on March 10, the Clinton Township Fire Department was the first to respond in order to stop the unidentified petroleum-like substance from spreading further through the drain into the Clinton River. “Originally, we received a contact from one of our DPW reps on Friday afternoon, about 3 p.m., stating that there seemed to be some sheen or an issue on the river and were subsequently told that they think they found the source over on the street at Sandy Drive,” Clinton Township Fire Chief Tim Duncan said. “We had crews respond over there, take a look, throw down some See SPILL on page 10A

tion from board members, who got the park ready for the warmer season by approving repairs and renewing a concessions contract. DiMambro Construction LLC was awarded a contract in the amount of $80,199.60 to repair the concrete pads at the pavilions, and township-based Scoop and Twist of Macomb will pay the township $800 a month to operate Macomb Corners Park’s concession stands from May 1, 2023, to October 30, 2025. An option to extend the contract for two more years is available in the contract. “Scoop and Twist has been our concessionaire for the past five years, and we are happy with the service they have provided for our patrons,” Parks and Recreation Director Salvatore DiCaro said. The board also approved pursuing a Michigan Department of Natural Resources grant to improve safety at Waldenburg Park. Set at $67,500 with a 25% township match at $22,500, grant funds would be used to purchase and install solar shelter lighting in the two pavilions at the back of the park, solar lights at all three bridges in the park and

Fire repairs

The Fire Department also had a series of repairs approved, including two vehicle repairs. Engine 1 and Heavy Rescue 1 required repairs — front and rear springs on both vehicles — which will be performed by Apollo Fire Equipment for a combined total of $21,003.52. The bad parts were discovered the Monday before the meeting and the necessity of these vehicles being in operation expedited their inclusion on the agenda. “We’re two to three weeks out for the parts,” Macomb Township Fire Chief Robert Phillips said. “So to wait another two weeks for the next meeting, then now we’re into May before the repairs could be made, and they’re telling us we should not wait that long.” A contract to fix broken concrete at Station 2 was approved by the board, awarded to L Anthony Construction Inc. for $384,121.50. Work is expected to begin once the weather allows.

COMERICA’S PROM DRESS DRIVE COMBINES WITH JACKET FOR JOBS METRO DETROIT — Spring is here, and prom and graduation season are just around the corner. Getting an outfit for these big events can be daunting. Dresses, shoes, wraps and accessories can quickly become a costly expense for teens and even cost prohibitive for some. Don’t be dismayed. Comerica Bank is launching their fifth annual Prom Dress Drive around metro Detroit. Individuals and local businesses — including bridal shops, dress stores and shoe salons — are able to donate dresses and accessories to the effort at various locations around metro Detroit, including spots in Bloomfield Hills, Grosse Pointe and Novi. Donation collections will begin Monday, April 3, and run through Friday, April 21. Once all the donations are collected and sorted, dates will be determined for teens to select items. Visit comerica.com/community/2023-promdressdrive-MI.html for donation locations. This is the first year Comerica will supply the donated dresses and accessories to Jackets for Jobs, a Detroit-based nonprofit that focuses on career development and removes barriers by providing high-quality clothing that makes clients look and feel professional to support workplace success. “For the past several years, our colleagues, customers and communities have come together with tremendous generosity during our previous prom dress drives to support local teens,” said Linda Nosegbe, Comerica Bank’s national community impact manager. “As the interest in contributing to this great cause remains strong, our new partnership with Jackets for Jobs allows us to continue connecting to the community through an outstanding community organization driven to help others to thrive and succeed.”

The investigation into the type and origin of the spill is ongoing, while the county has been monitoring the drain and overseeing the placement of booms by subcontractors. “Any amount is too much,” Duncan said. “These are things that really shouldn’t be occurring, and … you hope that they’re not intentional, but in a lot of cases, they are.

EXTRA SEED LIBRARIES: A GROWING TREND 12A/ MACOMB TOWNSHIP CHRONICLE • APRIL 6, 2023

‘WE’RE NOT GARDENING FOR OURSELVES ANYMORE. WE’RE GARDENING FOR NATURE.’ METRO DETROIT — Each year, Michiganders eagerly wait for Old Man Winter to take his final breath and allow Mother Nature to usher in spring with new life. For those who have been shut inside all winter, spring brings much-needed fresh air and allows for reconnecting with nature. Local libraries encourage the public to get their hands dirty and start a garden this season by offering seed libraries. There are currently 130 active seed libraries in Michigan and around 600 nationwide, according to Bevin Cohen, who created the Michigan Seed Library Network as a connection tool to promote and develop seed libraries. Cohen is a Michigan-based author specializing in herbalism, seed saving and sustainability practices through the homestead project he and his wife own, called Small House Farm in Sanford. Though each seed library differs slightly from the next, the general model allows librarygoers to “check out” seed packets of different plant varieties such as vegetables, fruits, herbs, flowers and even Michigan native plants, which attract vital pollinators like bees and butterflies. Typically, libraries limit how many seed packets can be checked out at a time and encourage seed saving so that they can replenish their supply. Professional seed saver Cohen explains that the process isn’t as complicated as it may seem. “It’s pretty simple. The first detail is learning how to identify when the seeds are ready to be harvested, which varies from one crop to the next,” Cohen said.

Cohen said that knowing where the seeds are and when they’ll be ready is crucial in seed saving. “With things that (are) easy to grow, like beans and peas, we’re harvesting the seeds themselves, so those are really easy to identify. Plants like tomatoes and peppers will change from green to red, signifying their ripeness. Therefore, the seeds are ready to go. With some things that we grow and eat, we are already saving the seeds without realizing it, like when you extract the seeds from a melon before eating it.” According to Cohen, seeds don’t have a strict expiration date; as long as they are stored in a cool, dark location, they can remain viable for many years. If stored in an airtight container in a freezer, they might be able to last for decades at a time. Cohen does specify that there is an exception to this rule: Seeds for parsnips, spinach and most onion varieties tend to lose their viability after the first year. Every year, the Michigan Seed Library Network showcases a different seed with Michigan roots through their “One Seed, One State” initiative. One Seed, One State unites seed libraries across the state under one common goal to grow the same plant. This year’s seed is Grand Rapids lettuce, which is described as an easyto-grow frilly, non-bitter leaf lettuce that can be eaten as early as 28 days after planting. The “father of forced lettuce,” Eugene Davis, developed Grand Rapids lettuce in the late 1800s. Since this variety of lettuce is known to be cold hardy, it is credited with establishing the greenhouse winter lettuce industry in Grand Rapids, which supplied the Great Lakes region with lettuce for decades.

Keep homes safe from spring flooding BY BRENDAN LOSINSKI blosinski@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — April showers may bring May flowers, but they can also bring severe issues for homeowners. Spring weather is often very wet, both from snow melting and from an increase in rainfall. These wet conditions mean there are several issues that can crop up for homeowners “The biggest problems come from big snow melts or rains that cause backups. Basement flooding is a huge problem around this time of year,” said Frank Winters, the owner of Birmingham Plumbing. “Tree roots can also grow into your sewer line, particularly in old houses that have clay pipes. They can even grow into broken PVC pipes and clog the drain.” “The biggest risks around this time of year include damage to finished basements,” added Rich Piccirilli, the chief operating officer of the Foundation Authority in Clinton Township. “Any kind of flooding is bad. That can destroy possessions, damage the foundation or lead to mold, among other things. You need to pay attention to your home.” Piccirilli said that homeowners should take this time of year to do a check of their home’s condition as they do their spring cleaning. “This is the best time of the year to do an exam of their home,” he explained. “Most people in the next 30 days are often outside and doing spring cleaning, so they often notice things. Just look for things; cracks in the brick, windows not closing or opening properly, walls starting to buckle. The soil can expand from the water and affect your home. … You can smell and see mildew. I would always recommend calling a professional to check it out if you see something. It’s better to be safe.” There are steps homeowners can take to try to avoid such problems. It can be very important to clean a house’s gutters and ensure the downspouts pour the gutters’ water away from the home properly. “Make sure your downspouts are hooked up and have proper grading away from the house,” said Piccirilli. “Downspouts are important. Make sure gutters are clean and extended away from the house. If it’s pointed away but the grade

pours it back toward the house, it still pools around the structure. You want that water away from the house.” Winters said that making sure the home has a working sump pump and backups that are designed to mitigate or prevent flooding is something homeowners should be doing at least once a year. “Usually people start identifying problems when water starts showing up,” he said. “Preemptively, you could look for cracks in your basement walls. Make sure your gutters outside aren’t dumping next to the house. Make sure the sump pump and backups are working so they don’t stick when you need them. The backup might not be used for years, so you want to run it periodically to keep it fresh. You might want to make sure your storm trap is clear and inspected.” Piccirilli advised homeowners to look out for mold but to be very cautious when dealing with it, as some forms can be hazardous to a person’s health. “In the case of mold or mildew, you can get some household products to clean some light mildew,” he said. “That white effervescence … you can clean that or have a company like ours take care of it. For full-blown black mold, you need to consult a professional company that knows how to deal with that. It can be dangerous.” Perhaps most importantly, making sure a home has the proper insurance coverage in the event of flooding could save families thousands of dollars in the event of a severe problem caused by spring weather. “We had a guy who walked in with a basement that was flooded with 3 feet of water and didn’t have insurance,” said Winters. “You always want to make sure you get that insured. We had to replace the sump pump and furnace. He lost pretty much everything he had in that basement.” Piccirilli said that a little prevention can go a long way. For every $1 invested in disaster mitigation, $6 can be saved in damages and repairs. “A lot of people are almost scared when they see a crack and are afraid it will be a $20,000 repair,” he said. “Often, it’s not — it’s just a $500 repair. If you can spot these issues soon, it can cost you a lot less money.” Call Staff Writer Brendan Losinski at (586) 498-1068.

several events during his tenure, including the time the Secret Service figured out how to get Reagan’s 20-car motorcade to a small backyard barbecue in Hamtramck. Jones also recalled an incident that occurred on Easter Sunday in 1966 during Johnson’s administration. “Myself and another agent were on duty,” said Jones, who grew up in Hillsdale. “It’s about 9 a.m. and the White House operator calls us and she says we just got word from the press that an individual says he’s going to burn himself in front of the White House (to protest) against the war in Vietnam.” Johnson was not at the White House at the time. Jones, who learned of the man’s

name, quickly went to the northwest gate to “see what’s going on.” The agent then ventured down the White House sidewalk, passing about 50 people dressed for Easter Sunday, including a woman holding a little girl’s hand. Jones then spotted a man coming towards him carrying two paper bags. “I notice the bags are stained. As he got a little bit closer, I noticed he had matches and he’s trying to light them, so I hollered his name,” he said. “He looked at me and I dove at him. We’re wrestling around trying to get the gasoline away from him. Finally, we got him handcuffed. Fortunately, he wasn’t able to set himself on fire because I think some

people would have gotten seriously injured. I always think back to the lady with the little girl, whether she may have been burned also.” A decade later, Jones was involved in the planning of Carter’s inauguration in 1977, which set a new precedent for the 1.7mile parade route. “Most presidents have ridden in a car and gotten out at the Treasury Building and they’ve walked to the White House,” Jones said. Carter, however, told organizers he wanted to walk the entire route down Pennsylvania Avenue rather than be driven. Security wasn’t crazy See AGENT on page 15A

about the idea, but Carter’s idea prevailed. “Isn’t the best security a surprise?” Carter asked Jones. “He said if no one knows I’m going to walk the route it will be a surprise. So, we walked the entire route.”

‘She made a line right to where the president was because she wanted to kiss him.’

Robert Kennedy’s assassination in June 1968 was a shock. Jones was off duty when his wife told him the news. Jones shared details of the senator’s funeral train procession from New York City to Washington, D.C. “They put the casket on top of chairs in the train so people could see it,” Jones remembered. “There were all types of people along the route. It was heartening to see the respect they had for the senator.” Six months later, the senator’s widow, Ethel Kennedy, sent Jones a personal note. “I got a message (that said), ‘Thank you for all the nice things you’ve done for me,’” Jones said. “These are some of the things you don’t hear about with dignitaries.” One of Jones’ photos depicted the exact moment in 1975 when Lynette “Squeaky”

Fromme tried to shoot Ford in Sacramento, who was swiftly evacuated from the area. “(Fromme) didn’t load the (handgun) properly so it wouldn’t have fired but you don’t know that when it happens,” Jones said. On a lighter note, the MORE attendees chuckled when Jones recalled the episode surrounding Ford’s attendance at the 1979 Major League Baseball All-Star Game at the Kingdome in Seattle. Morganna the Kissing Bandit, who routinely ran onto baseball fields and basketball courts to kiss athletes, sprinted over to the former commander in chief for a smooch. It didn’t go over well. “She made a line right to where the president was because she wanted to kiss him,” Jones said. “She got stopped and got arrested and spent the night in jail.” Jones also protected many foreign heads of state, including the U.K.’s Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip when they visited in 1976. During the presentation, the guest speaker also talked about the history of presidential travel, and related security concerns and issues. Jones retired as a Secret Service agent in 1983. He also retired from Ford Motor Co. as the manager of global security and fire protection, and worked 17 years as instructor in the School of Criminal Justice at Michigan State University. “We’re very glad to have him here,”

The Michigan Seed Library Network served over 200 seed libraries with One Seed, One State kits in 2023, and Cohen estimates that nearly 900 individuals attended the seventh annual Central Michigan Seed Swap, an event inviting people to “Swap, share and share!” It was held Feb. 25. Lisa Martin, the branch librarian at the Warren Civic Center Library, is excited to announce the arrival of seed libraries at all four Warren libraries this April and that they will be participating in this year’s One Seed, One State project. Currently, the Civic and the Burnette Branch libraries are collecting seed donations of leftover seed packets (unopened or partial packets) to start their seed library. All donations must be labeled and placed in sealed bags, packets or envelopes. If you write your name on your donations, you’ll be entered in a drawing this fall for a gift card. Additionally, Cohen will be hosting a “Seed Saving 101” workshop at the Civic Center Library 6-7 p.m. Tuesday, June 6. Martin said that much of the inspiration for Warren’s seed libraries came from the Ferndale Area District Library’s impressive seed library model. Adult services librarians Sarah Bowman and Michelle Williamson have been

running the seed library in Ferndale for three years now. Williamson explained that the Ferndale Garden Club initiated the founding of the seed library just a year or so prior to her involvement and still plays an active role in educating library-goers on sustainable garden practices. The Ferndale Garden Club and Cheryl English from Black Cat Pottery will host “It’s Easy To Be Green,” which will help attendees with educational tools and practices to promote environmental sustainability within their gardens, at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 16. Ferndale’s seed library is host to a wide array of seed offerings, including Michigan native plants like milkweed varieties that draw in pollinators, which are donated by their partner, the Ferndale Monarch Project. “I think people think weeds and assume the plants are ugly,” Bowman said. “And they aren’t going to be cut flowers like you see from a florist. They’re sustainable, drought tolerant, deer tolerant and pollinator friendly. They aren’t necessarily going to be a neat little row of flowers. It’s more of a wild vibe.” Amber Quesenberry, a homeschool mom of four and board member of the Rochester Pollinators, planted her first pollinator garden in 2020 from a plan in the Rochester Pollinators brochure. Since then, the Quesenberrys have planted over 1,100 plants in their front yard, which they’ve neatly curated

to display that native plant gardens can still be manicured. With help from Mulberry Hill Wildlife, Quesenberry worked to redesign her yard to target different species. Now her yard is home to a bird-friendly garden, a bumblebee garden and a butterfly garden. Quesenberry contacted Marilyn Trent, the founder of the Rochester Pollinators, a few years back when her children became fascinated by pollinator conservation. Trent is an entrepreneur with a passion for ecology and wildlife preservation. Trent started the Rochester Pollinators in 2019 with the intention of educating and providing resources to preserve the Monarch butterfly and pollinator population. The Rochester Pollinators work to spread awareness and engage local communities in planting Michigan native plants in public and privately owned landscapes. Some of their outreaches include their annual native plant sale, where they sell a variety of native plants that can be selected by light, soil and moisture needs. Orders can be placed online at https://rochesterpollinators.org and picked up on May 20 or 27 at the Downtown Rochester Farmers Market. The Rochester Pollinators have a seed library at Dinosaur Hill Nature Preserve for those wishing to start from seeds. They offer native seeds such as purple coneflower, black-eyed Susans and milkweed varieties. Contrary to common belief, wild plants can

be grown in deep containers for those with limited yard space; the Rochester Pollinators provide more information on how to do this successfully under their “Resources” section. Quesenberry has donated many of the seeds she’s saved from her own gardens. “We shouldn’t have to convince people that these are gorgeous plants to put in your yard. Some of them have the most beautifully intricate blooms and stunning leaf patterns. Because we live here, we should be seeing these native plants everywhere. Yet, you can’t really find them at garden centers.” She advises new gardeners to throw out everything they’ve learned about gardening and not to take themselves too seriously, as gardening is a fun experiment of trial and error. “It’s all about changing what we think is beautiful and recognizing that our Michigan natives are just as beautiful as the other nursery plants and give back so much more to your garden landscape,” Quesenberry said. “I had to get really excited about finding holes in leaves because these plants are meant to be eaten. It’s a shift in what we thought gardening was. We’re not gardening for ourselves anymore. We’re gardening for nature.” To learn more about seed libraries, visit miseedlibrary.org, and for gardening resources, visit hwww.smallhousefarm.com.

INAUGURAL SEASON “Knowing we’re a brand new team, we’re doMOUNT CLEMENS — Everybody loves an underdog story, except maybe the teams that become a victim of circumstance in the league. The Motor City Rockers (28-16-6) have clinched a playoff spot in their inaugural season in the Federal Prospects Hockey League. While the Rockers aren’t surprised in the slightest to be earning the success they have this season, the rest of the league — including their interstate-94 rivals, the Port Huron Prowlers — have taken notice of the breakout team in the FPHL. It comes with the territory of being the new guys in town and already establishing a successful foundation, and the forward Scott Coash said the team embraces that mentality.

We’re definitely on everybody’s radar, that’s for sure.” Through all the obstacles of constant moving pieces with trades and call-ups, injuries and even a 3-9 stretch midway through the season, the Rockers are right where they always thought they could be. “It’s a spot I thought we could be in from the beginning of the season,” Rockers goaltender Trevor Babin said. “We had a little rough patch about halfway through with guys getting called up, injuries and guys moving in and out of the lineup, but I think at this point, we kind of expected it, and we’re holding ourselves to a standard that I think we can definitely hold ourselves accountable for.” Currently 7-3 in their last 10 games, the Rockers took their last three series against See ROCKERS on page 19A

the top two teams in their division — the Carolina Thunderbirds and Columbus Sea Dragons — and the Binghamton Black Bears, who are in second place in their respective division. The Rockers have outscored opponents 41-29 during their 10-game stretch. Courtesy of Coash’s team-high 34 goals, the Rockers offense has been a force to be reckoned with this season. Supporting Coash’s offensive output are forward Declan Conway with 21 goals, Derek Makimaa with 20, and Tommy Cardinal with 19 on the year. More impressively, the Rockers’ unselfish distribution of the puck has been a key factor to its offensive attack, featuring five players with 20 or more assists in Coash (28), Conway (22), forward Brad Reitter (31), defenseman Josh Colten (31) and defenseman Dante Suffredini (29). Coash said the team’s offensive contribution has been courtesy of the team’s depth at each line. “That’s the beauty of it when all three lines click, and it’s not just one line contributing but all three lines contributing on the score sheet,” Coash said. Babin has been a staple in net for the Rockers, earning a .915 save percentage and a 17-12 record on the year. Blake Scott has also been reliable between the pipes, holding an 8-4 record on the season for the Rockers.

While Coash had high praise for the goaltending duo, saying the team strength has been the “goaltending for sure,” Babin said the team’s mindset and expectations have altered due to the talent at the forward position. “When we brought in Scott (Coash), Declan Conway and a couple other key pieces and things like that, the team definitely turned around and held ourselves to a certain standard that we’re at now in the season,” Babin said. The expectations also rise as the team chemistry is at an all-time high. Success brings people together, but it’s a brotherhood in the locker room regardless. A team once thrown together at the beginning of the season via the draft, trades and tryouts, the Rockers have finally cemented a team mentality built around the camaraderie of each player night in and night out. Coash said this is the strongest bond he’s had with a team during his two seasons in the Southern Professional Hockey League and the FPHL. “When you’re in that locker room, it’s family,” Coash said. “It doesn’t matter what’s going on outside the rink because inside the rink is all family. When we put on that jersey, we’re brothers. In and outside the rink, we’re brothers; that’s the whole excitement about team sports is that you got the bond with guys you’ve never met before, but now you feel like you’ve known them for years.” Holding only six games left on the year and currently in third place in their division, only seven points ahead of the fourth-place Prowlers, the Rockers two-

With how the Rockers have been playing, they’re ready to carry their confidence and momentum into the playoffs. “The way we’ve been playing recently, we’re not worried about anybody,” Coash said. “As long as we come in night in and night out and play the same way we’ve been playing, we have nothing to worry about.” Playoffs are scheduled to begin April 21.

Michigan Panthers introduce cheerleaders for 2023 season

SPORTS

METRO DETROIT — What took the Detroit Lions over 80 years to implement, the Michigan Panthers will have in their second year of the revived United States Football League. As the Panthers prepare for their season opener in mid-April, and their first home game on April 30 at Ford Field, the team will be accompanied by their newly revealed cheerleading squad. With over 75 dancers applying, the field was cut down to 25 as the dancers went through the final tryout at One Campus Martius on March 13. “I thought it was very comfortable, and I loved being able to meet other people,” Panthers dancer Abby S. said. “It was a one-of-a-kind experience.” Panthers Director of Cheerleading Jenna Lanzetta said she and the judges were looking for 15-16 ladies to complete the squad, but were blown away by the talent. Now, 19 ladies from all across the state will represent the Panthers’ colors in the 2023 season. It’s a far cry from the 600 dancers that auditioned for the Panthers cheerleading team in 1983, which was narrowed down to 35, but Lanzetta and the judges made sure the 19 dancers possessed certain traits. “We were looking for the full package,” Lanzetta said. “Outside of dance, people who can be leaders inside and outside the field and ambassadors for not just the USFL and the Panthers, but the city of Detroit as a whole. Dance wise, just the most skilled and technical dancers out there.” Lanzetta, a Western Michigan University graduate, previously cheered for the Photo courtesy of Michigan Panthers NBA’s Indiana Pacers and most recently the Detroit Lions from 2017-2021. The Michigan Panthers, who hold their home opener at Ford Field on April 30, announced their cheerleading squad for See PANTHERS on page 21A the 2023 season.

An Ann Arbor native and coach for Michigan State University’s elite competitive dance team, it’s a full-circle moment for the former Lions cheerleader as she pioneers the start of the Panthers cheerleading team that will play their home games at Ford Field. “It’s exciting to be back,” Lanzetta said. “Ford Field is my home.” Not only is it a homecoming for Lanzetta, but also Ferndale native Valerie P. as she makes her way back to Ford Field. A Detroit Pistons dancer from 20062009 and a Lions cheerleader from 20152018, the self-proclaimed “Tom Brady of dance” due to her in-and-out of retirement decisions has come out of retirement for the second time in her career to cheer for the Panthers. Teammates with Lanzetta on the Lions cheerleading team, Valerie said she couldn’t pass up an opportunity to be a part of something special. “This is such a great opportunity,” Valerie said. “Especially being teammates with Jenna (Lanzetta), this is just something I wanted to help support her with.” The Panthers will open the season on

World War II veteran honored by Fraser VFW BY BRENDAN LOSINSKI blosinski@candgnews.com

FRASER — A local World War II veteran was honored March 29, in conjunction with National Vietnam War Veterans Day, by the Fraser Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6691 and Detroit’s Chapter 9 of the Vietnam Veterans of America. The honor came shortly after Mike Aleo’s 100th birthday. The recognition included a donation for children’s research on behalf of Aleo. “We’re recognizing World War II veteran Mike Aleo, who is 100 years old,” said Mike Sands, the public relations director for VFW Post 6691 in Fraser. “We’re here to honor him by donating to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital on his behalf. We want to celebrate our survival from wars , to have some fellowship and appreciate one another. … Mr. Aleo is a World War II hero. He was awarded the French Legion of Honor Medal, which was given to him by representatives from the French Consulate.” The recognition was part of ongoing

efforts by the Vietnam Veterans of America to honor World War II veterans while they still can. “We decided to start honoring these veterans who have given so much,” said Paul Palazzolo, president of Chapter 9 of the Vietnam Veterans of America in Detroit. “Many are 100 years old like Mr. Aleo and we don’t know what tomorrow will bring, so we want to do something in their honor. … We’re losing these men.” Aleo was modest about the recognition “I feel honored and humbled,” he said. “I am proud to have been part of donating this money to the little kids at St. Jude. I hope it does a lot of good for them.” Aleo served in Europe from 1943 to 1946, taking part in the Normandy landings and seeing combat in France. “I was in the European theater and I was with General (George) Patton’s Third Army,” he said. “I was in the 257th Field Artillery Battalion supporting the tank units. I served in southern France and the Battle of the Bulge and all over.” A donation of $2,500 was made in

Aleo’s name. “Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 9 and its associates donated $1,000 to Mr. Aleo’s favorite charity, the St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital,” said Sands. “VFW Post 6691 and its auxiliary here donated another $1,000. We’re proud of our members and community people who contributed to these donations. He was also given signs of recognition on behalf of Macomb County.” Palazzolo hopes people look to men like Aleo as examples. “Out of 350 million people, only one percent serve (in the military) in this country,” said Palazzolo. “(Mr. Aleo) served. He stepped up to the plate as part of the Greatest Genera-

tion and served. Patriotism is down, people aren’t going to church any more, people aren’t having kids. This is the country we are in today. I don’t know what kind of moral fiber we have today, but we need to show these guys like Mr. Aleo that we are thankful for giving us the democracy that we have.” Sands was glad to see the Fraser VFW post able to do something extra on this year’s National Vietnam War Veterans Day, something important to many of the post’s members. “The last soldier to leave the Vietnam War left on this date in 1973,” said Sands. “The government decided to recognize VietSee VETERAN on page 23A
