DETROIT — A Warren man was sentenced to a year in federal prison for his role in painting racist graffiti on a predominantly Black church in Roseville.
David Bluer, 34, was sentenced March 19 in U.S. District Court in Detroit. He pleaded guilty to one count of damage to religious property.
Bluer admitted to targeting Greater New Life Church in Roseville, where he painted a swastika, the word “die” and his first initial on the church in 2021. He allegedly had two unnamed accomplices when he defaced the church. In a separate incident, Bluer van-

Teachers react to order to ‘dismantle’ U.S. Department of Ed
President Trump signs executive order, issue goes to Congress
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — With a chance the U.S. the Department of Education could be dismantled, the Warren Education Association staged “walk-ins” March 19 at their buildings in the Warren Consolidated
Schools district in support of preserving the department.
Members of the teachers union carried signs that read “Protect Our Students And Families Text ‘Action’ to 48744.” The National Education Association logo also was printed on the signs.
Parents, state Rep. Mai Xiong, DWarren, and Cromie Elementary School Principal Jack Stanton also participated in the demonstrations. Xiong represents the 13th District, which includes Roseville, the
eastern part of Warren, and parts of St. Clair Shores.
According to a WEA press release issued March 19, those who gathered believe closing the department will have a “harmful impact” on the public schools system, especially the most vulnerable local students.
“It’s critical that parents and educators make their voices heard in support of protecting our neighborhood schools and providing every student — no matter their abilities or family’s income — with the op-
portunity to get a good education,” Warren Education Association President Robert Callender said in a prepared statement. Callender also is a high school chemistry teacher in the district.
According to the WEA, Michigan received about $461 million in federal funding last year from the Department of Education to support special education programs serving more than 200,000 students with disabilities. The Macomb Intermediate School

Roseville Public Library reacts to possible IMLS elimination
ROSEVILLE — The Roseville Public Library issued a press release March 25 regarding the impact President Donald Trump’s executive order of eliminating the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services would have on patrons if the order is approved by Congress.
On March 14, Trump signed an executive order to continue the reduction of the federal bureaucracy, according to a press release the White House Office of Communications sent via email to C & G Newspapers.
One item listed was the IMLS. The Roseville Public Library press release states that IMLS is the nation’s only federal agency for libraries. IMLS dollars are routed to Michigan to fund the Michigan Electronic Library and the statewide interlibrary loan service called MeLCat. If IMLS funding is eliminated, according to the Roseville Public Library, local library users will have less access to books and other library materials, as many Roseville Public Library patrons use MeL and MeLCat regularly.
“Through MeL, students and other residents last year accessed over 19 million electronic articles, journals and other online resources to do homework, research, prepare for tests and more. Residents also benefited from MeL’s authoritative sources on education, medicine, business, and history, among other topics that help people make informed decisions,” the Roseville library press release states. “The loss of funds for these services would have a direct negative impact on our community. While the majority of revenue for public libraries in Michigan comes from local property taxes, the most significant impact of the potential loss of IMLS funding could be the elimination of MeL and MeLCat.”

from page 4A
District received over $34 million in federal funds to support about 19,000 local students receiving special education services.
Additionally, Warren Consolidated Schools received about $4.2 million last year in federal Title I funding, which helps educators provide additional support for lowincome and at-risk students.
“Dismantling the Department of Education would be devastating for local students with special needs and students from lower-income families, as our schools rely on federal resources to support special education programs, tutoring, school meals and more,” Callender said. “This would cause permanent harm to Warren students, who need and deserve more support — not less.”
On March 20, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education. That does not mean the department has closed; by law, that would still have to go before Congress for a vote.
According to a press release C & G Newspapers received via email from the White House Office of Communications March 20, removing the Department of Education will return the main function of educating children back to each state, thus improving student achievement overall. Eliminating the department allows states to take charge and advocate for and implement
what is best for students, families and educators in their communities.
“Our nation’s bright future relies on empowered families, engaged communities, and excellent educational opportunities for every child,” the press release states. “Unfortunately, the experiment of controlling American education through federal programs and dollars, and the unaccountable bureaucracy those programs and dollars support, has plainly failed our children, our teachers, and our families.”
According to the White House Office of Communications, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon will take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the department and return authority over education to the states and local communities, should Trump’s executive order be approved.
The White House Office of Communications said closing the department does not mean cutting off funds to support K-12 students with special needs, college student borrowers, and others who rely on essential programs such as Pell grants.
U.S. Rep. Lisa McClain, R-District 9, released a prepared statement in support of closing the department. The Romeo Republican currently serves as a member of the House Committee on Financial Services and the Committee on Education and Workforce. District 9 includes northern parts of Macomb and Oakland counties, and the counties of Huron, Tuscola, Sanilac, Lapeer and St. Clair.

Cross-country travels recognize Boy Scout milestone anniversary
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — When the Boy Scouts of America celebrated its 100-year anniversary in 2010, a group of scout leaders from southeast Michigan found a way to commemorate the milestone.
Over a year’s time, the volunteers traveled the U.S. in a 32-foot recreational vehicle donated by All American Homes/Coachmen. During their journey, the scouters — adult leaders in the organization — visited Boy Scouts councils in each state to which they ventured.

peers, parents and students. Nominated teachers were evaluated in various categories, including teaching style, motivational expertise, lifelong learner, passion and community focus. The educators will be recognized at a dinner April 22 at the Palazzo Grande in Shelby Township.
Eastpointe Community Schools announced Bellview Elementary fifth grade teacher Jennifer Sands-Bosket, Eastpointe Middle School sixth grade English language arts teacher Emilie Belanger, and 8th Grade Academy instructional coach/interventionist Alexandra Turner as its elementary, middle school and high school teachers of the year, respectively.
Sands-Bosket has taught in Eastpointe Community Schools for two years, and according to school officials, she has become an integral member of Bellview’s leadership team by playing a key role in decision-making.
Since coming to Bellview, the educator has volunteered to lead the Family Events committee and during the second semester of last year, Sands-Bosket piloted new English language arts programs that the district was considering adopting. Additionally, the educator is said to put students at ease when they share their thoughts in class.
At the middle school, Belanger has earned a reputation as “a source of positivity and professionalism who goes above and beyond as a resource to other teachers and paraprofessionals in the building,” according to Eastpointe Middle School interim Principal Robyne Thompson.
Belanger is known for her willingness to help anyone struggling and will break down data and adjust her lessons according to stu-
dents’ needs. Along with teaching, Belanger coaches the middle school girls basketball team and takes a leading role on the school’s Building Turnaround Network team.
Turner is the lead teacher for the eighth grade reading intervention classes, where she coaches teachers on reviewing student progress and delivering the program. The process helps students who are behind in reading catch up to grade level. Turner also works closely with the school’s eighth grade families to support students’ reading goals.
She helps organize events, maintains communication with parents, works to connect the curriculum to the world outside the classroom and helps students see how their skills will help them once they leave school.
“Alex is a humble yet strong educator who cares deeply for her students both academically and personally,” Eastpointe High School Principal Todd Yarch said in a prepared statement. “Her hard work in helping students become better readers has made a significant impact — students frequently return to her class to express their gratitude.”
On March 3, Roseville Community Schools issued a press release announcing Knukellia McCurdy, elementary; Scott Wheeler, middle school; and Melissa Kaehler, high school, as the district’s teachers of the year.
McCurdy has been teaching in Roseville since 2000. She began her career at Eastland Elementary and through the years taught a variety of elementary grades at Dort, Huron Park, Kaiser, and Kment. Eleven years ago, she relocated to Patton Elementary School and currently teaches third grade. In the press release, Patton Elementary Principal Brandon Komarowski said McCurdy approaches each day with a commitment to growth and success and is an advocate for her students.
“Whether it is sending an early morning email, responding to Dojo messages after
school, or grading papers on the weekends, she consistently goes above and beyond her duties to ensure her students receive the support they need,” Komarowski said. “She makes herself readily available, fostering strong connections built on trust, communication, and generosity. She makes sure every child’s academic, social, and emotional needs are met daily. Mrs. McCurdy’s commitment to her profession is truly admirable, and her impact on her students’ lives is immeasurable.”
Wheeler has been impacting students in Roseville for 32 years. Early in his career, Wheeler taught adult education and alternative education at the Guest building before making the move to Roseville High School. Under his instruction, students have learned chemistry, biology, environmental science, human biology, advanced placement biology, physics, anatomy and physiology, and earth science. Six years ago, Wheeler relocated to Eastland Middle School, where he now teaches seventh and eighth grade science.
Eastland Middle School Principal Bob Beato said Wheeler’s “commitment to ensuring that every student feels seen and valued is

truly commendable. He goes the extra mile to create an inclusive learning environment where each student has the opportunity to thrive. He is more than a science teacher; he is an inspiration and a positive force within our school.”
During her 18 years in Roseville, Kaehler has worn many hats. She began teaching at Huron Park Elementary. She then taught special education in the SelfContained Emotional Impairment Program held at both Roseville Middle School and Steenland Elementary.
Nine years ago, Kaehler transferred to Roseville High School as a teacher consultant who co-teaches Algebra II and hosts the testing center. The teacher of the year also is the school’s transition coordinator, Individualized Education Program coordinator, and department chair for the special education department. Kaehler is known for being empathetic, yet firm, and is said to handle stressful situations with students in a thoughtful, respectful and professional manner.

IT’S TIME TO REEL IN SUMMER
BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com
MACOMB COUNTY — As the temperatures rise, local fishing stores prepare for the new season by stocking up and hoping for good weather.
Julie Beltowski, owner of Lakeside Fishing Shop in St. Clair Shores, said she’s been preparing all year for different seasons.
“We close out all the winter stuff and we start getting into all our spring stuff, and they prepare for the walleye and the perch fishing,” Beltowski said.
She said they are ready for the summer season.
“That’s our favorite, is the summertime,” Beltowski said.
She’s worked at Lakeside for 38 years. The shop has been in operation since 1968. They carry rods, reels and more.
Beltowski said summer is their busiest season with anglers fishing for walleye in local rivers and Lake St. Clair.
“And then we have a huge industry for bass,” Beltowski said.
She said that pretty much every weekend in the summer they had a bass tournament somewhere. While there is no specific day fishing season starts this summer, Beltowski said it all has to do with the weather. She said the store is completely full and that they’re ready to “rock and roll.”
John Bacarella, owner of Sportsmen’s Direct in Harrison Township, said their seasons start with supply orders made six to nine months before the season starts. There are several different seasons, including walleye season, open water season and ice fishing season.
Bacarella said that in the winter once the lake freezes over, they’re busy every day, but during the summer it’s dependent on the weather.
“It’s an interesting business,” Bacarella said. “You’re at the mercy of the weather. Or you’re at the mercy of the weatherman, more importantly.”
He explained that if the forecast calls for turbulent weather, out-of-state fishermen will not make the trip out.
Bacarella said panfish like perch are the easiest to fish for and don’t require a lot of expensive equipment. Perch fishermen typically use live bait.
“They’re either using minnows or they’re using worms and just very simple two hook systems,” Bacarella said.
Bacarella said that Lake St. Clair Metro Park is one of the best public access spots on the lake.
“Then you have the different boat launches, but they’re not truly a fishing access,” Bacarella said. “You can fish there, but they’re not designed specifically for that as an access.”
A resident or nonresident needs a license to fish in Michigan. Sales for these started March 1, and the licenses will last from April 1 of this year until April 1 of next year.
Those 17 and older must get their own fishing license, and Bacarella said the state is trying to lower the required age for fishing licenses to 16.
“It didn’t make it through the Legis-

said that the victim was found on a porch, bleeding profusely.
Roseville Police Chief Mitch Berlin said the Police Department had received first aid kits for its vehicles and officers were trained on using the kits last year. The officers used the kits to stop the bleeding. When the Fire Department arrived, firefighters provided a trauma assessment and continued to halt the bleeding before taking the victim to the hospital.
According to St. Peter, the victim had stab wounds on his neck, face, chest and abdomen. He was minimally responsive and going into shock. St. Peter praised the response time, which he said was 19 minutes from the call to the time the victim arrived at the trauma center.
Carrie Brown, Henry Ford trauma program manager at Henry Ford St. John Hospital, praised the speed of the responders.
“Because of the quick action and the care that our crew over here gave, it really made the difference and allowed our trauma team the opportunity to do what we needed to do to save his life,” Brown said.
The victim in the stabbing spent 12 days in the hospital following the incident, according to Brown.
“Any one of those injuries probably could have been life-ending for him,” St. Peter said.
From the Fire Department, Lt. Mark Hammell, firefighter/medic Carly Landry, firefighter/medic Adam Stuck and firefighter/medic David Borthwick II were recognized for their roles in the situation. Police officers Gawain Torres-Rivera and William Sanders were also recognized. All service members involved received a trauma challenge coin and a certificate of recognition.
Roseville Fire Chief Keith Jacobs commended those involved.
“This is an example of, in my opinion, how well the Roseville Fire Department and the Roseville Police Department have always worked,” Jacobs said.
At the close of the meeting, all council members thanked the responders.
“It was an extremely sad story that turned into a good story with a happy ending,” Roseville Mayor Robert Taylor said.
Following the ceremony, firefighter/ medic Patrick Busch received his badge after completing his probationary period. His wife pinned the badge on him, and his children watched from the audience. Jacobs said Busch had no issues during his probationary period.
just inside the Roseville Public Library’s main entrance. Starting April 7, the library will use the space while the library undergoes renovations that will last for at least six months.
Reminder: Library closed, to reopen in Erin Auditorium
Roseville Public Library Director Jacalynn Harvey gave an update on building renovations at the March 25 meeting.
The library was scheduled to shut down March 31 and remain closed through April 5. When the library reopens April 7, it will resume operations temporarily in the Erin Auditorium, which is a facility within the Roseville Public Library located at 29777 Gratiot Ave.
“I think we can do it; librarians are planners,” Harvey said.
During the weeklong closure, patrons can make reference calls, place holds and order curbside carryout from the library. The phone lines will be open from 1 to 5 p.m. Monday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. To reach the library, dial (586) 445-5407.
The library will stay in the auditorium until the renovations are complete. Harvey said this will take at least six months.

Boy Scouts
The Boy Scouts of America website, scouting.org, states there are 248 councils. The group traveling the country consisted of 16 teams with four to six members in each team. They took turns on the route, which they called “A Century of Values.” It was quite the adventure.
“The volunteers are still talking about it 15 years later,” said Frank Mallon, a traveler and trip adviser.
Because the organization began Feb. 8, 1910, the scouters traveled from Feb. 8, 2009, through Feb. 8, 2010, promoting the history and accomplishments of the Boy Scouts of America. The first group of travelers kicked off the trek from Mallon’s hometown of Laingsburg, Michigan.
“Because it was winter, we headed south towards Texas,” said Mallon, who said it took five days to get there. “It was an amazing trip.”
Mallon, of Novi, said each group spent anywhere from two to five weeks on the road at a time, and about 140 scouters made the trip overall. Teams No. 2 and No. 3, for instance, traveled toward Florida and
northward toward the East Coast. When it was Team No. 10’s turn, the group drove to Washington state and parts of the Northwest.
Along the way, the scouters participated in local parades, council camporees and other events. The final stop was on Feb. 8, 2010, in Irving, Texas, to celebrate the organization’s 100-year anniversary at the National Scouting Museum.
“There were four bunks and it could sleep up to seven people. We got up at 6 a.m. and didn’t go to bed until midnight,” Mallon said. “Our plan was to visit two councils per day. There are a lot more councils in the East.”
Sometimes the group would sleep in the parking lot of a council’s building.
“We could use the office for whatever we needed,” Mallon said.
When the southeast Michigan convoy met up with the other councils, sometimes there would be 10 people in town waiting for them or sometimes 100 “when we pulled in,” Mallon said. In recognition of the anniversary, many times the group was interviewed on local television and radio stations.
The southeast Michigan members presented each council with a centennial mural to display, made by Eagle Scout Bill Morri-
son, an artist who is best known for his work involving “The Simpsons” and “Futurama” television shows. The 24-inch by 36-inch historic artwork features a number of photos that depict the Boy Scouts history. There are photos of famous Scouts, the first National Jamboree in Washington, D.C., in 1937, the 50th anniversary commemorative stamp, different merit badges and more. Morrison also decorated the RV’s exterior.
The caravan visited or camped at 71 Boy Scouts camps, and at 74 KOA campgrounds. While the goal was to visit councils across the country, the group also found time to sightsee. The itinerary included the International UFO Museum in Roswell, New Mexico; the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas; Niagara Falls; Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri; Yosemite National Park; the Atlantic and Pacific oceans; Snake River Canyon
in Idaho; and many more landmarks.
There was a lot of work involved with the trip, but the volunteers also found time to visit with relatives while out of state.
“We often stayed at their homes,” Mallon said.
Dave Busse, of Troop No. 1478 out of St. Anne Catholic School in Warren, was among the team leaders who made the “A Century of Values” trip. For two weeks, he traveled to San Jose, California; Los Angeles and Las Vegas with his wife, Kathy; Chuck Prohaska; and Mark and Michelle Hodges.
“It was fun but there were some challenges,” said Busse, of Warren. “It was a great treat for us. The Scouting values were always there.”
One thing he learned when meeting the different councils was that “we all have

Macomb retains current tuition rates, increases student fees
South Campus may get liquor license
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
MACOMB COUNTY — For the first time in several years, Macomb Community College students will not see an increase in their tuition for the next academic year.
However, they will have to pay more for student fees.
At its regular monthly meeting March 19, the Macomb Community College Board of Trustees authorized maintaining the previous year’s tuition rates for the upcoming academic year, which is the Fall 2025 through Spring/ Summer 2026 school year.
The vote was 5-2, which also included increasing the college’s student service and information technology/facility fees. The college’s third student fee, registration, will remain unchanged.
Board members Roseanne DiMaria, Joan Flynn, Katherine Lorenzo, Shelley Vitale and Vincent Viviano voted in favor of the measure while Frank Cusumano and Kristi Dean voted against it. In a prepared statement, Macomb Community College President James O. Sawyer IV commented on the changes.
“Macomb Community College is a critical bridge to the skills and credentials necessary for good jobs with wages that sustain families and build economic prosperity,” Sawyer said. “With rising inflation, many are having to make hard choices to manage their finances. Macomb is committed to do everything we can to ensure our residents can continue to afford the education and training they need to position themselves and their families for great futures.”
According to school officials, the college’s student service and IT/facility fees have remained the same for more than a decade. However, the needs in areas they help fund have

increased and require more ongoing investment and resources, including academic and student support services, and campus and IT security.
The student service fee will increase from $10 to $15 per student per semester. The IT/ facility fee will increase from $5 per billable contact hour to $7.50. This will result in an increase of approximately $27.50 per semester for most students. The college’s registration fee will stay at $50.
The tuition rates per billable contact hour for Fall 2025 through Spring/Summer 2026 school year are:
• Resident rates: $113.
• Out-of-district rates: $212.
• Out-of-state/foreign rates: $270.
• Affiliate rates, which are students living in areas not served by a community college district: $146.
• Early college/dual enrollment rates: $108.
Liquor license update
College officials are in the process of obtaining a liquor license at South Campus, located at 14500 12 Mile Road in Warren.
On March 20, the Michigan House of Representatives passed HB 4065. This is the first step in obtaining permission from the Liquor Control Commission to allow alcohol to be served in conference spaces at South Campus. The next step is passage of the bill by the Senate, and then for the college to follow the LCC process for approval.
According to Jeanne M. Nicol, executive director, communications and public relations at Macomb, the bill provides for liquor to be served at events in the college’s conference spaces at South Campus, including in the John Lewis Student Community Center and the Sports & Expo Center. Obtaining the license will not support sales of liquor by the college to generate revenue, and alcohol will not be available for sale at the college’s sporting events.

Graffiti
from page 1A
dalized Trombly Park in Warren with racist graffiti. One message read “DaviD kills” followed by a racial slur, according to the plea agreement. Bluer initially faced an additional count, federally protected activities, from this incident.
Bluer was charged with the offenses March 13, 2024. However, due to the plea deal he took, the federally protected activities charge was dropped.
When Bluer agreed to the deal, the Rev. Darnell Moore, of Greater New Life Church, called it a “slap on the wrist.” He offered Bluer some advice at the time: “Turn your life around and seek God.”
In 2022, Bluer faced charges for unlawful transport of firearms. This stemmed from a YouTube video that appeared to show Bluer shooting guns when he was a convicted felon at the time, according to a court filing. The videos were discovered when Bluer was being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the fall of 2021 for the racist vandalism. He was tried in U.S. District Court in Detroit and sentenced to 18 months in prison Oct. 19, 2023. He received credit for time served starting April 12, 2023.
“The defendant’s attack, motivated by race and color, instilled fear in not only the mostly Black congregants of the church, but damaged the entire community’s sense of safety,” acting U.S. Attorney Julie A. Beck said in a press release. “Our office will always vigorously prosecute those who commit unlawful bias-motivated acts and seek justice for the victims.”
“The sentence of David Bluer sends a stern warning to anyone who seeks to invoke fear and hatred towards a specific group of individuals,” Cheyvoryea Gibson, special agent in charge of the FBI in Michigan, said in the release. “The FBI is committed to upholding the U.S. Constitution, investigating civil rights violations and the protection of the American People.”

lature in time,” Bacarella said. “So everybody got a break, because they were talking about raising the license fees substantially for this year, but they didn’t.”
Those found fishing without a license can expect fines and other consequences.
“I would encourage everyone to get a fishing license,” Bacarella said.
According to the state’s website, all-species licenses cost $11 for seniors. An all-spe-
represented Bluer, offered “no comment” at press time.
She detailed Bluer’s struggles with alcoholism throughout his life in a 2023 court filing. The document outlines abuse during his childhood and his commitment to recovery, including a letter from Bluer’s mother.
Bluer’s arrest was a result of investigative efforts by the Roseville Police Department, Warren Police Department, FBI Detroit’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan.
“The Roseville Police Department will furiously investigate any hate crimes and seek to prosecute the offenders to the fullest extent of the law!” Roseville Police Chief Mitch Berlin stated in an email. “Roseville is an inclusive community that is full of caring, loving people that take care of each other. While living and working in Roseville for a combined total of over 50 years, I have and continue to interact daily with some great people. This isolated incident does not reflect the values and core beliefs of our residents. Hopefully Mr. Bluer gets the help he needs while incarcerated.”
The graffiti was not Bluer’s first encounter with the law. According to an Oct. 11 court filing from then-U.S. Attorney Dawn Ison and Assistant U.S. Attorney Frances Lee Carlson, Bluer was 24 years old when he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault. The document states this happened during a drunken fight.
Bluer fell asleep with a gun while drunk in a car Aug. 22, 2020, and was arrested by Madison Heights police, according to the filing. He was sentenced to six months of probation March 29, 2022, for carrying a concealed weapon. While out on bond for this offense, he was arrested for a home invasion in 2020, according to the filing.
He pleaded no contest in Macomb County Circuit Court to second-degree home invasion, a felony, in 2022. He was on probation for the offense for two years. A second felony charge of malicious destruction of property, over $1,000 but less than $20,000, was dismissed from the same incident.

Though Bacarella gets more excited for the winter season, he’s hoping for nice weather during the summer.
“The fish populations are good right now,” Bacarella said. “(The) perch population has been fantastic. I mean, hopefully, we have good weather. It’s the whole thing. It’s all about the weather.”

Education
from page 6A
has been pushing woke policies for far too long. There is too much bloated federal bureaucracy. Despite more money being spent, test scores have not improved,” McClain said. “We should focus the dollars on the students, not administrators. I look forward to working with @POTUS and @EdSecMcMahon to improve education in America.”
Congress created the Department of Education in 1979 under President Jimmy Carter. Its stated mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access for students of all ages.
C & G Newspapers contacted Roseville Community Schools Superintendent Mark Blaszkowski via email for his view on the matter. Blaszkowski said he feels the department can be a great resource to improve instruction.
“It has always been a guiding voice for educational institutions to ensure we are compliant with laws and regulations related to education,” he said. “The Department of Education is also responsible for managing the grants for local school districts through the State Department of Education. States cover the majority of the funds for education. Federal money supplements that by approximately 14%.”
If the department closes, Blaszkowski said Roseville Community Schools would lose at least $2.5 million annually. Some of that funding is used for literacy specialists, instructional coaches for teachers, and intervention staff to work with students who struggle in math and reading. Federal dollars also help fund professional development for Roseville teachers to improve their instruction to be more successful.
“This money also goes towards parent engagement activities such as literacy nights that get books in the hands of parents and families,” Blaszkowski said. “IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) money is also provided by the federal government. This money is strictly for special education costs.”
According to Blaszkowski, the federal legislation states the federal government is to provide 40% of the funding costs associated with special education. However, that always falls short.
“They have never met that goal. In fact, they have never matched 20% of the costs. To me, this is another unfunded mandate. Schools always bite the bullet and do what they can for the students. It is time they honor their commitment to special education students,” Blaszkowski said.
“If there are better ways to get more of the money to the districts it would be greatly appreciated. Again, they can start by meeting the obligation of the 40%,” Blaszkowski said. “I feel inefficiency can occur if each district has to spend money to get guidance and information to be better prepared to educate students. Maybe the state could help us consolidate costs.”
The superintendent also said putting restrictions on funding based on mandates does not help districts.
“It holds us hostage on how we can help our students,” Blaszkowski said. “Each district has their own unique needs, and when we are told we must or can’t use the funding in certain ways, it can breed inefficiencies.”

The college has had a liquor license for many years for conference spaces at Center Campus, located at 44575 Garfield Road in Clinton Township. Macomb’s conference spaces at both campuses are used for college events and also are rented by external organizations. Presently, serving liquor at South Campus
events requires filing for a special license for each event. Obtaining a liquor license will be more convenient and less time consuming.
According to Nicol, examples of the types of events with cocktail receptions held at South Campus will include the Michigan Defense Expo, the court reporters’ annual event, and the North American Council of Automotive Teachers conference.

WHY ALL THE HOUSEHOLD DUST?
I’m Keith Meadows, owner and operator of Power Vac Air Duct Cleaning. For years I’ve been improving our communities health one family at a time. By now we’ve all heard the statistics: 50% of all illness is a direct relation to dirty indoor air and that it’s 90 times more polluted than outdoor air. Yet, 90% of the calls that I receive everyday are from people complaining about dust, they tell me they dust the TV on Friday but by Sunday they are pushing the dust out of the way again so they can watch America’s Got Talent and none of them know exactly where it’s coming from. Well I’m here to tell you that it’s not because you’re a bad housekeeper. I tell people that by simply having their air ducts cleaned will drastically reduce household dust. The reason is your cold air returns. Cold air returns suck in dirty air and over time it builds up until you have the same type of debris that you would find in your vacuum bag. Cold air returns are also the reason new homeowners are experiencing dust. While your drywall was being sanded, your air returns sucked all of the dust through the system. To prove it, go down to your basement and look for the thin sheets of tin nailed between your floor joists, these are your cold air return lines. Now give them a good pounding, you’ll see pufs
of dust seeping from the edges. That my friends is the reason you have uncontrollable Dust issues. This debris can not be removed without a professional.
Which brings me to my next point- choosing an air duct cleaning company. We have the equipment that is powerful enough to get the job done right, a Power Vac truck. Its the most powerful equipment in the industry.
The truck motor actually powers the equipment and its able to generate 16,000 cfms (cubic feet of air per minute) of vacuum. Most competitors opt for the cheaper, portable equipment attached inside of a van that’s only capable of moving 4,000 cfms. To put things into perspective your furnace moves 2,000 cfms. So basically what’s coming out of your register. The power vac trucks we invest in ofer quadruple the amount of vacuum than most other companies.
Power Vac is family owned and our crews are trained to arrive on time, work with a smile and respect people and their belongings. Call today at 248-656-0600 and receive $100 of for the next week.
Visit our website CALLPOWERVAC.COM where you can watch a short video on the cleaning process and what to watch out for while price shopping.

April and Keith Meadows help keep indoor air clean with their local business, Power Vac.
Center, located at Martin Road and Van Dyke Avenue, for a state-of-the-art training center to offer an accelerated Michigan Maritime Manufacturing (M3) training program.
Last November, the school welcomed its first group of students into the intense, 17-week course; some studied welding, while others were in the computer numerical control machining program. The classes met for eight hours a day, five days a week. The accelerated program addresses the urgent need for skilled labor in the defense sector as workers are needed to manufacture the parts that build Navy ships and submarines.
A total of 21 students — ranging in age from their 20s through their 50s — graduated from the program during a ceremony held March 20 at the Student Community Center on South Campus, in Warren. Macomb President James O. Sawyer IV, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel, and U.S. Navy representative Miranda Shurer all provided remarks to the graduates, and the family members, friends and staff in attendance. Donald Hutchison, dean of engineering and advanced technology at Macomb, was the emcee.
“This really is an exceptional group of Michiganders, these 21. You came into this program from all different walks of life,” Whitmer said. “We have a Coast Guard veteran, a caregiver in a group home, a grocery store clerk, an accounting student and a library worker, among many others. There’s a mother and son duo here, too, which is just incredible.
“Our service members and their families sacrifice so much to keep us safe, and I’m grateful to you for carrying on your family’s legacy through this M3 so that we can all work together to ensure that our armed forces are the strongest in the world,” Whitmer said. “The M3 initiative is an incredible opportunity for Michiganders to protect our national defense while earning a good living.”
According to the governor, the U.S. only builds 0.1% of the world’s ships today, while “China makes 53% more than everyone else combined.”
“We’re falling behind when it comes to building ships. I’m really happy the U.S. Navy is taking this seriously. They’ve called for the construction of hundreds of new ships and submarines over the next few decades,” Whitmer said. “Just a few weeks ago, (President Donald) Trump said he was going to establish a new office of shipbuilding in the White House.”
She also told the crowd former Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said the Navy picked Macomb “because of the strong network of hands-on programs available to local high schools and community colleges.”
At the March 20 ceremony, Shurer addressed the graduates. Her husband, Ronald Shurer, who died in 2020, reportedly of cancer, was an Army Special Forces staff sergeant and the recipient of the Medal of Honor.
“You will show how valuable this training program is and make sure manufacturers know they can trust graduates from the program. They will come to them skilled and ready to do important work,” Shurer said.
“This accelerated training utilizes a curriculum that was developed for our national accelerated training and defense manufacturing program in Virginia, which has
trained more than 750 skilled workers since February of 2022,” Shurer said. “Beyond our submarines, our maritime industrial base produces parts for different classes of service ships like aircraft carriers, destroyers and a lot of other vessel types.”
According to Patrick Rouse, director of workforce and continuing education, engineering and advanced technology at Macomb, students in the M3 program do not pay any tuition or supply costs.
The Navy’s $15.4 million investment is designed to support the M3 program through early 2027 and graduate up to 384 students.
The Navy’s investment included new CNC milling machines, lathes, welding machines, labs and classrooms. Funding also paid for the hiring of instructors.
In the M3 program, students chose to pursue welding or CNC machining. In the first group of cohorts, there were 11 welders

and 10 CNC machinists. The students studied the four commonly used types of welding: TIG, or tungsten inert gas; MIG, or metal inert gas; flux-cored; and stick.
“The courses were designed to mimic the workplace,” Rouse said.
About half of the graduates already were hired at local companies, including Dynasty Fab, American Rheinmetall, RCO Engineering and Schwartz Machine. Those newly hired workers signed contracts upon receiving their certificates at the graduation ceremony.
“The bulk of the students are going into maritime supplies to support the U.S. Navy. A couple accepted jobs in defense, and one person is in advanced manufacturing as a whole,” Rouse said.
According to Rouse, the starting pay for such jobs is $22-$25 per hour.
