‘You can already see significant congestion throughout the city’ TRAFFIC SNARLS PREDICTED DURING NEW ROADWORK SEASON

BY ERIC CZARNIK eczarnik@candgnews.com

Commutes across parts of Sterling Heights may begin to take longer than usual due to a new season of road construction, according to city officials.

At a May 1 Sterling Heights City Council meeting, City Manager Mark Vanderpool cautioned the public about the disruption that “another really busy year” of road construction may cause.

Utica Community Schools voters approve bond, millage proposals

BY KARA SZYMANSKI kszymanski@candgnews.com

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Voters in the Utica Community Schools district voted overwhelmingly in favor of the district’s school improvement bond proposal and the replacement operating millage proposal in the May 2 election.

The district had referred to May 2 as the “safety and success” election. Voters approved both proposals by approximately 69% to 31%.

The bond proposal asked voters for permission to borrow up to $550 million and issue general obligation unlimited tax bonds in one or more series for a number of purposes, including rebuilding and constructing additions to district

buildings to create “a safe and secure modern learning environment for students,” as stated on the ballot.

The proposal’s language also talked about using the money to construct replacement elementary school buildings; remodel buildings; and refurnish buildings, athletic fields and playgrounds. Buying and installing technology See UCS on page 10A

If you visit Dodge Park on a Thursday evening soon, it’ll be hard to miss many of the scheduled summertime activities.

A central hub of action during Dodge Park Thursdays is the Dodge Park Farmers Market, which will operate 3-8 p.m. Thursdays June 1-Sept. 28.

Sterling Heights Recreation Supervisor Troy Nowotny said he has been working on organizing this year’s farmers market. Nowotny said the pavilion expects to host 35-40 vendors weekly. He added that some new, exciting vendors are bringing variety and “a lot of hype.”

“We’ve got a meat vendor that we haven’t had in a long time,” he said. “We’ve got one or two new farm-

ers that will be at the market, some baked good vendors (and) a couple of condiment vendors that we didn’t have in the past.”

Nowotny also said he expects 10-12 food trucks to show up at the market weekly, including the introduction of six to eight new trucks in the rotation.

Children can make crafts at the farmer market’s kids corner, which is being brought back this year.

“It’s something we had pre-COVID,” Nowotny added.

Running alongside the farmers market is the Music in the Park summer concert series, which presents live entertainment at 7 p.m. at Dodge Park’s amphitheater.

Bands are scheduled for the following dates: June 1, The Prolifics; June 8, Atomic Radio; June 15, Bernadette

The books are balanced in a recently adopted budget for Sterling Heights’ 2023-24 fiscal year.

During a May 1 meeting, the Sterling Heights City Council unanimously approved the next budget. The city is legally bound to approve a budget before the next fiscal year starts on July 1.

According to Finance and Budget Director Jennifer Varney, the 2023-24 overall budget is $238.5 million, with the general fund making up $125.4 million of that. The overall budget’s size is a 12.7% dip compared to the prior year, largely due to less spending on roads, capital projects and American Rescue Plan-funded projects.

The general fund overall has a 5.6% spending increase.

Varney said the biggest spending increase was $2.8 million more for staff wages and benefits — as well as a few additional planned hires — followed by a projected $1.5 million increase for waste removal spending due to an anticipated new waste hauling contract.

The city will add $15,150 to its fund balance in the next budget year, Varney said.

“The cumulative fund balance continues to be very strong, to total $35.2 million or 28% of expenditures, and this is a very healthy level that will allow the city to continue to invest in city services and infrastructure while maintaining a low tax rate,” she said.

Varney said the new budget’s millage rate is 16.38 mills,

House passes distracted driving bills

State Rep. Nate Shannon, D-Sterling Heights, in a May 3 statement praised the Michigan House of Representatives’ passage of a distracted driving bill package.

The bill package, HB 4250-4252, bans using a mobile device while driving a motor vehicle or school bus, lays out driving record penalties for doing so and orders state police to issue a report to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and lawmakers about the issue 42 months after implementation.

“Michigan’s laws do not go far enough to protect drivers on the roads,” Shannon said in a statement. “We can’t solely focus on fixing the roads and infrastructure; we must also ensure drivers stay alert and focused while they’re behind the wheel.

Passing these bills can save lives, and I am focused on keeping our workers, families, friends and community members safe.”

Shannon chairs the Michigan House Transportation, Mobility and Infrastructure Committee.

Versiti Blood Center of Michigan will host a blood drive 2-7 p.m. May 16 at the Sterling Heights Community Center, 40250 Dodge Park Road.

The blood center welcomes donors in good health who are 17 years or older, or 16-year-olds with parental consent. Donors must show photo ID with a birthdate on it.

Interested donors may walk in, or they may register online ahead of time by visiting bit. ly/3HE3T9r.

AGS announces expansion plans On April 27, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced in a statement that auto supplier AGS Automotive Systems plans to expand its operations in Sterling Heights.

According to the announcement, the expansion will increase the company’s ability to assemble and manufacture components and could allow it to expand by as much as 235,000 square feet.

“A.G. Simpson is driving $20 million of investment and creating 120 good-paying jobs in Southeast Michigan, building on our economic momentum and expanding on our leadership in the future of mobility,” Whitmer said. “Michigan was chosen for this expansion over several other locations because of our talented workforce and industrial strengths.”

The announcement added that a $900,000 Michigan Business Development Program grant and an offered 50% property tax abatement from Sterling Heights are supporting the endeavor.

In a statement, Mayor Michael Taylor welcomed AGS’s expansion.

“Sterling Heights is known as a welcoming, business-friendly community. It’s a reputation and culture we’ve worked long and hard to build,” he said.

Roadwork

from page 1A

“You can already see significant congestion throughout the city,” he said. “It’s actually a good sign. We’re continuing to get a lot of roadwork done. … You’re going to be very pleased with it when it’s all said and done this year.”

Vanderpool said some projects have already begun, like ones targeting 14 Mile Road and Schoenherr Road.

During an April 25 city budget meeting, City Engineer Brent Bashaw outlined several major road projects totaling $64.2 million scheduled for this upcoming construction season.

One of those is the Schoenherr resurfacing project, which affects the general area between Canal Road and M-59. According to the city, crews will keep one lane open in each direction while work continues.

Bashaw said the Schoenherr project “completes a multiyear resurfacing plan addressing Schoenherr Road from 15 Mile Road to the northerly city limits.” Meanwhile, the 14 Mile resurfacing project will cover 1.8 miles between the general area of Maple Lane Drive and Hayes.

City officials also discussed progress on the reconstruction of Mound Road between Interstate 696 and M-59.

Bashaw said the campaign is on schedule, adding that paving will take place on the project’s southern portion, from north of 15 Mile Road southward. North of that, crews will install lighting, sidewalks, traffic lights, landscaping, stormwater-managing bioswales and other infrastructure, he said.

As for other major roads, Metropolitan Parkway will be resurfaced this summer and fall from Ryan Road to Mound Road, and the road will also get concrete repair work done between Dodge Park Road and Schoenherr, Bashaw said.

Ryan Road will also get resurfacing attention around the summer to fall time period from Metro Parkway to 18 Mile Road.

Maple Lane Drive will be resurfaced this autumn from the Red Run Drain Bridge to Volpe Drive, according to the city.

Another long-anticipated project that will finally get underway will be the reconstruction of 2.3 miles of Plumbrook Road, from Van Dyke Avenue to Utica Road. The project will include new sidewalk additions, trees, bike lanes along the road from 17 Mile Road to Utica Road and mast-arm traffic

signals at the 17 Mile-Plumbrook intersection, Bashaw said.

In terms of neighborhood streets, Bashaw said $4.4 million will be spent this construction season on reconstructing 2.85 miles of 17 streets. Those include Brentwood, Gatewood, Allison, Waltham, Pickwick, Kristen, Leslie, Palm, Sprucewood, Gregory, Ellsworth, Kenwood, Kings, Oak Pointe, Rosewood, Deveere and Lamparter drives.

In addition, this season will spend $2.7 million on sectional repairs for 2.1 miles of 16 streets. Those include Foxboro, Farmdale, Faith, Havana, Hearns, Carriage, Edgevale, Blackstone, Cologne, Jackman, Joslyn, Pond View and Bonneville drives — as well as Heartsworth Lane and Dundee and Susan streets.

A couple of road studies will also be in the works this year thanks to grant funding, Bashaw explained. One will be done in part with the Macomb County Department of Roads on Metro Parkway, between Mound and Van Dyke.

“This study will lead the way for a future project and funding opportunities,” he

explained. “The roadway has significant infrastructure assets, including the above-grade rail crossing. We know the bridge needs work upcoming, as does the roadway, so studying the section of roadway now is appropriate.”

As announced previously, the city will conduct a Safe Streets for All study that will explore traffic calming measures and a strategy for re-imagining Ryan Road’s future, particularly in terms of making it safer, Bashaw said.

After Bashaw’s presentation, Councilman Michael Radtke said he looks forward to the Plumbrook work but wants the bike lanes to be separated from auto traffic.

“Just painting markings on the sidewalk that says ‘bike lane’ does not make a thing a bike lane,” Radtke said. “It makes it a place where maybe a driver will look before they hit you with their car while you’re biking. So we need to have some kind of separation.”

City officials say the bands cover the gamut of genres, from Motown, dance and party music to rock, reggae and more. Sterling Heights Parks and Recreation Director Kyle Langlois said fan favorites are returning, such as the tribute act Simply Queen and the local entertainer Bernadette Kathryn. He welcomed the new acts.

“Every year, we have a goal in mind to provide a diverse mix of musical styles for our residents to enjoy,” Langlois said. “This year, I’m extremely excited about bringing in a genre I’ve never before seen in my time in Sterling Heights here, which is reggae. … We attempt to bring out as many people as we can. That’s our goal: to have a welcoming place for our residents.”

In addition, the concert area is screening films during two Movie in the Park events: “Strange World” on June 22 and “DC League of Super-Pets” on Aug. 10. There also will be a Cool Car Show on the premises July 6.

Dodge Park Thursdays will also have a few special themed events this year, most happening in September. June 29 will be Pride Day, Sept. 7 will feature a Pet Parade, Sept. 14 will offer a Market Fit event, Sept. 21 will be Fall Day and Sept. 28 will be a Touch A Truck day.

and acquiring and developing sites for district buildings and facilities were other uses highlighted in the proposal. So too was purchasing school buses.

The district called the bond proposal the “No Tax-Rate Increase Facilities Bond Proposal.” The district estimated that the millage levied to pay the bonds in the first year will be 1.52 mills, which will be a zero mill net increase over the annual debt millage that it levied in 2022. The bond will fund projects at all 40 district facilities.

The bond proposal passed 17,7497,973, according to the Macomb County Clerk’s Office.

The replacement operating millage proposal was one that district residents had passed before. It gives the district the ability to levy the 18 mills allowed by state law on non-homestead properties, which are second homes, rental properties, businesses and vacant land. The state requires districts to levy the 18 mills to receive a full share of state aid.

The proposal on the ballot will offset Headlee Amendment rollbacks that reduced what the district could collect from 18 mills to 16.75 mills. Voters approved 20 mills May 2, so while 18 mills is the maximum amount that can be levied, the unlevied 2 mills will be used in the future to offset future rollbacks.

Under Headlee, if the assessed value of a local taxing jurisdiction increases by more than the inflation rate, the maximum property tax millage must be reduced so that the local jurisdiction’s total taxable property brings in the same gross revenue as adjusted for inflation.

The millage proposal passed 17,6958,044, according to the Macomb County Clerk’s Office.

Superintendent of Schools Robert Monroe said in a prepared statement that, on behalf of the Board of Education, he would like to thank the voters.

“Approval of the bond proposal will update and renovate UCS buildings and protect the community’s investment in its schools. Approval of the non-homestead millage proposal will allow UCS to collect its full share of school funding. I am grateful to the parents, staff, students and other members of the community who helped us inform people about the bond proposal and the non-homestead millage proposal,” he stated.

Sterling Heights City Clerk Melanie Ryska commented on how voters responded to the election in her city. She said the city received almost 7,000 absentee ballots, with the rest of the votes being cast on the day of the election.

“The election went really well,” she said. “It was slow. We had about 14% turnout, I believe, with most of that being absentees.”

Lori Cooke, the Utica city clerk, said that the city combined three precincts for this election.

“We ended the night with 606 total votes, which included 437 (absent voter) ballots. As a parent of two UCS students participating in five sports total, I am very happy the two proposals passed,” she said in an email.

Police went to a child care center in the 38000 block of Utica Road April 21 upon hearing that someone was being disorderly there. Police said they heard a woman yelling and demanding a check. Police reportedly learned that the facility had fired her and wanted her gone. The woman was reportedly given her paycheck.

Police said the woman went to her car and loitered by it for a while before entering it. Police said the woman then drove the vehicle “in a manner to prevent officers from looking at her license plate” and allegedly wasn’t leaving the parking lot. Police said they ordered her to leave via a loudspeaker, and she did.

MCC receives $4.7 million for programs

MACOMB COUNTY — Macomb Community College recently was awarded $4.7 million from Ballmer Group and the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation as part of its work through the Detroit Regional Chamber’s Detroit Drives Degrees Community College Collaborative.

The funding is part of more than $30 million committed by Ballmer Group and the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation to pro-

vide support for the next three years to the D3C3 initiative. The initiative is a partnership with seven Southeast Michigan community colleges designed to ensure individuals have equitable educational opportunities and graduate with high-value credentials or degrees that lead to good-paying, in-demand jobs with local employers.

“D3C3 is about transforming our talent pipeline through innovative partnerships with local community colleges that are uniquely positioned to help students enter the workforce with the qualifications employers need,” Sandy K. Baruah, president and chief executive officer of the chamber, said in a prepared statement. “Ballmer Group and the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation’s generous support speaks to the value of this initiative and importance of collaborative and job-focused education that will benefit employers, families and the region.”

Macomb’s work through the collaborative is focused on student success and expands a pilot program of student success coaches in which students not only increase their grade point averages but persist in progressing through their course of study.

Local students place in college contest

MACOMB COUNTY — Macomb Community College’s Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship recently hosted the student pitch contest “Macomb Innovates!

College Reimagined.”

The challenge addressed declining college enrollment, with students presenting ideas to reshape the face of the college experience. Three Macomb students competed in the college division, and six teams of two from Chippewa Valley High School and Dakota High School competed in the high school division.

Each competitor developed a 1-minute TikTok video prior to the competition to submit to the judges. The students pitched their ideas in front of a panel of judges, who graded them on the idea quality, whether the TikTok video was engaging and their professionalism.

The Chippewa Valley High School team of Mia Apone, 17, and Madi Stewart, 18, both of Clinton Township, took first place in the high school division with their concept for updated classrooms utilizing

technology and natural light to make classrooms more engaging.

Toni Faust, 35, of Warren, won in the college division category. Her idea included having the college provide transportation to help students attend classes, study sessions and extracurricular activities, all managed by an app. Faust will graduate this month with an associate degree in business management.

The high schools also competed for the 2023 Macomb County Rising Stars trophy, which Chippewa Valley High School won.

All the high school students and the college division winner received a $500 award from the Macomb Community College Foundation to use at the college for tuition, fees and books. The high school competitors also took home individual Rising Star trophies designed by the college’s Media and Communications Arts program.

MACOMB COUNTY — Last month, the Macomb County Board of Commissioners recognized 77 schools that achieved Green Schools status for the 2022-2023 program cycle. An awards ceremony was held at the Macomb Intermediate School District building in Clinton Township.

The Macomb County Green Schools program, initiated by Public Act 146 in 2006 and coordinated by the Macomb County Board of Commissioners since 2008, encourages pre-K and K-12 students to participate in activities that promote environmental protection and the preservation of natural resources through a commitment to sustainable efforts.

The Green Advocate award went to Francesco Polonis, of De la Salle Collegiate High School, pictured, right, with County Commissioner Sarah Lucido, D-Eastpointe, representing District 13.

Warren Mott High School received the Best Visual Presentation award. Under the “Top Schools” category, the Best Evergreen award went to Cromie Elementary, and the Best Overall went to Margaret Black Elementary. Both are in the Warren Consolidated Schools district.

To receive Green Schools status, a school must provide a description of how they have performed at least 10 of the activities listed in the program guidelines. For a complete list of honorees, visit bocmacomb.org and click on the “Programs & Events” page.d click on the “Programs & Events” page.

METRO DETROIT HEALTH CARE OFFICIALS RESPOND TO NATIONWIDE EMPLOYEE SHORTAGE ‘THERE’S A LARGE DECLINE IN THE NUMBER OF HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES WILLING TO INVEST THE TIME AND MONEY IT TAKES TO GO TO COLLEGE’

BY BRENDAN LOSINSKI blosinski@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Statistics across the country are showing a decreasing number of professionals in the health care field, particularly among nurses and general practitioner physicians.

This shortage has some worried that patient care is being negatively affected and that those working in health care are getting stretched thin, even now that the pandemic is over.

“It’s really important to address this problem because, when you have nursing shortages, you have high stress and burnout among nurses,” said professor Suha Kridli, the interim chair of the Oakland University nursing program. “This leads to higher turnover, which leads to even fewer nurses. This all affects patient care. As a patient, you want a nurse that has a healthy workload so they are able to deliver quality patient care.”

Data from the Pew Research Center show that hospitals lost 2.47% of their workforce in 2022 and that hospital turnover increased by 6.4%. The Michigan Health and Hospital Association performed a survey in March 2023 consisting of 95% of the MHHA’s membership that noted there were more than 27,000 current job openings, including nearly 8,500 open nursing positions.

“Staffing shortages continue to impact Michigan hospitals and health systems throughout the state, in both clinical and non-clinical positions, ranging from physicians and nurses to food service and environmental service workers,” said MHHA CEO Brian Peters. “Hospitals and health systems remain committed to solving this crisis and are investing in innovative programs to address and improve the supply of health care workers through education partnerships, offering employees opportunities for higher education and increasing workplace flexibilities.”

See SHORTAGE on page 17A

Solutions may be required to combat the health care worker shortages and to increase the number of those studying and entering the field after high school.

Macomb County’s Adult Day Center: Providing Relief For Caregivers According to Cote, the Adult Day program includes transportation to and from the center, meals, snacks, engaging activities, exercise, health monitoring, medication management, personal care and socialization.

The program’s small 1-to-3 ratio — one certified nursing assistant to three participants — results in more personalized attention, higher quality care, improved safety and increased satisfaction overall.

“Macomb County is committed to providing innovative programs and services that ensure a high quality of life for all of our residents,” said County Executive Mark Hackel. “Our Goldenberry facility with its first-of-its-kind Montessori accreditation shows that commitment in action. We have an incredible team there and I know that they care deeply about the people they serve. So I hope you’ll join us for this open house and consider Goldenberry as an option for your loved one.”

“We look forward to having caregivers come and visit our program to see if it would work for their loved ones so they don’t have to struggle at home and can get a break,” Cote said. “I know firsthand how stressful and difficult it can be at times because I did it myself for a while with my father.”

Macomb County’s Adult Day program is located at 21885 Dunham Road (Entrance B) in Clinton Township. For more information or to RSVP, call (586) 469-5580 or visit macombgov.org\seniors.

Caring for a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s can be an incredibly challenging and emotionally taxing experience. As a result, caregivers often neglect their own self-care while taking take care of their loved ones.

To better support and reach out to Macomb County resident caregivers facing such hardships, Macomb Senior Services is hosting an open house at its Adult Day Center from 4 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 1, 2023.

The event will give attendees an up-close look at the program’s extensive services, which were thoughtfully designed with both caregivers and their senior loved ones in mind.

“We offer caregivers a sense of peace and comfort in knowing that while they’re taking care of their own needs, such as grocery shopping or attending doctors’ appointments, their loved one is getting good quality care in their absence,” said Sheila Cote, director, Office of Senior Services at Macomb County. “Our Adult Day Center is the first and only program of its kind in the country that is Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® accredited. Many nursing facilities offer adult day programs but none of them use the Montessori approach, so we are really a trendsetter.”

At the heart of the Montessori approach lies an emphasis on showing deep respect for seniors by giving them a voice, focusing on their strengths, abilities and interests — and empowering them to be as independent as possible by supporting their choices.

Dr. Paolo Marciano, the chief medical officer at Corewell Health in southeast Michigan, confirmed that virtually everyone in the health care field is seeing staffing shortages.

“We are proud of the recruitment and retention efforts we have in place at Corewell Health in southeastern Michigan to combat the looming national physician shortage,” he said in an email. “Our continued retention of medical students, residents and fellows at Corewell Health is critically important to our success. Additionally, we are expanding existing Graduate Medical Education training programs to serve as a pipeline for much-needed specialties. We are working hard to align physician expertise with the needs of the communities we serve.”

Melanie Stosik, McLaren Health Care’s director of provider recruitment, stressed that this is an issue that most in the health care field are dealing with and said that the Detroit area remains an attractive region for employees.

“Though the current and forecasted physician shortage is affecting other regions of Michigan, and efforts are focused in those areas, metro Detroit remains a prominent and favorable market to practice medicine, attracting many physicians and limiting the current risk of a shortage,” she said in an email. “For several reasons, metro Detroit has long been a popular region for physicians to practice and establish their careers.

Robust graduate medical education programs at our McLaren Macomb and McLaren Oakland hospitals provide those organizations with direct access to residents and fellows to discuss and offer career opportunities with their respective medical staffs.”

Kridli said that, while there are likely several factors causing this problem, one of the key factors — particularly in the nursing field — is that there are not enough students entering the field to replace those who are retiring.

“It’s not one factor. There is an aging population of nurses. We were not prepared for so many nurses to retire at around the same time. … COVID is part of the retiring trend, in that people reflected on their lives and career choices and were just burned out, but it’s more about not having enough graduating nurses to replace them in the workforce,” she said. “The number of students going into nursing as a career is not sufficient to keep up with the number of those

retiring. There is a large decline in the number of high school graduates willing to invest the time and money it takes to go to college.

In addition, there is a significant decline in the number of high school students enrolling in college directly after they finish high school. Recently published data indicated that only 54% of 2021 high school grads in Michigan went straight to college. … There is also public skepticism about the value of a college degree. People are now questioning if a degree is worth the cost.”

This is not a local problem.

“It’s nationwide. Just this morning, I received a press release from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. It said that the number of students in entry-level baccalaureate nursing programs decreased by 1.4% last year. This translates to a drop of 3,519 fewer students from the 2021 and 2022 school year. The decline in student enrollment isn’t just at the entry-level baccalaureate; we are seeing it at all levels,” said Kridli. “Nationwide, at the master’s level, enrollment dropped 9.4%. This is close to 14,000 nursing students. At the Ph.D. level, enrollment dropped by 4.1% (183 nursing students). This translates to a decline in the number of nursing faculty and advanced practice nurses, which means that there are fewer educators to educate and train future nurses.”

Solutions to the issue will likely take time and include growing the number of those entering the health care field from the ground up.

“In my role as an interim dean, I meet with representatives from different health care systems and hospitals. We frequently discuss potential solutions. We think collaboratively and innovatively,” said Kridli. “For example, we recently developed an agreement with Corewell Health, The Corewell Health Nurse Scholars Program, which is a grant from Corewell Health for $20.7 million to increase the number of students in our pre-licensure baccalaureate program.

Through our Corewell Health Nurse Scholars Program, nursing students can receive up to $20,000 per recipient of grant funding. This funding is available to Accelerated Second-Degree BSN or Basic BSN students admitted to our School of Nursing. The students would have to commit to work for Corewell Health for two years upon graduation. … We also recently got approved by the Michigan Board of Nursing to expand our program. … We can now accept 99 additional students per year.”

CLEAR OUT THE CLUTTER AND HELP OTHERS TO BOOT

BY CHARITY MEIER

cmeier@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Spring has sprung, and it’s now time to clean out the garage or the basement, or perhaps revamp the kitchen or redecorate the bedroom.

However, many look at such tasks with dread or anxiety and are unsure where to begin.

“I think that it’s a good idea to start in a room that really bothers you on a day-to-day basis,” said Kara Desmond, owner of Utterly Uncluttered. “So if the first room that you see when you walk in the door is cluttered and messy and makes your cortisol spike, I think that might be a good place to start, because it is something that affects you every day.”

According to Desmond, the time necessary for a project depends on the individual and the task. She said that when she is organizing a house for a client, it generally takes several hours to get through a room.

“Most people don’t have that time available. So, therefore, nothing tends to get done because they are strapped for time,” said Desmond. “So, if all you feel you can contribute is five minutes and that is what you can wrap your head around, I think that five minutes is better

than nothing, and sometimes that’s really all it takes to start to feel the motivation of getting started, and then magically time just starts to appear after that, because once you’ve started moving and working on it, you tend to keep going.”

She advises taking a couple of deep breaths to calm your heart rate when you enter a disorganized room and then do one thing at a time.

“A lot of times, it feels so much more overwhelming than it actually is,” Desmond said.

To get started cleaning and organizing your home, Desmond recommends setting aside a block of time to work on a specific task. It could be anything from five minutes to a couple of hours or more.

“Set a timer for you to work on something and see how much you can get done in that period of time,” Desmond said. “If you do five minutes a day, you will make progress, but it will be slow. But if you want to get it done, you need to set aside, generally, depending on the room, at least a full day.”

To begin, Desmond said she likes to remove everything from the room. If that requires too much space, she recommends tackling the room in sections. After the See CLUTTER on page 19A

room or section is emptied, sort items into categories. Desmond said this allows you to see how much you have of each item and to pare down what you don’t need.

She said the next step is to find drawer space for each category. For small spaces, she said the best solution is to maximize vertical space in any way possible, such as adding shelving units, tall cabinets or stacking bins.

“I think it’s best to empty out cabinets and drawers entirely and then reorganize them,” Desmond said.

When cleaning, have a garbage bag for trash, a box for items to be discarded and a box for items that don’t belong in that particular room. The latter allows a person to focus on the task rather than run around the house putting things in their designated spots, Desmond said. After the project is done, take the box and put the items where they belong.

Items in good condition that you do not want can be donated or sold at a garage sale.

Desmond said she recommends donating items to a local charity.

“But I only recommend garage sales if you’re the type of person that has the time to commit to doing so,” she said.

For those unsure where to donate items, the Macomb County Habitat for Humanity ReStore, which has locations in Shelby Township and Warren, recently stated that it is in need of donations.

“There’s a humongous need for appliances, obviously,” said Erica Bartels, COO of Macomb County Habitat for Humanity.

“We don’t typically take dishwashers, but refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, all of those have become a lot harder to come by.”

The organization also needs gently used furniture, especially bedroom sets and kitchen tables and chairs. Pots and pans and homebuilding supplies are other items in demand.

The store does not accept clothing, bedding, curtains or mattresses.

Habitat for Humanity helps low-income individuals to improve their credit scores and get to a point where they can afford a mortgage. Bartels said the ReStore supports Habitat’s mission because a lot of donors give Habitat money to build homes but don’t give money to operate. The ReStore helps to pay for employee salaries, trucks, overhead and more.

“We are always here and willing to pick up items,” said Bartels. She said they tend to get more donations in the spring thanks to spring cleaning and then again during the holidays.

After disposing of unneeded and unwanted items, Desmond said to organize the items being kept. One of the best tools for organizing, Desmond said, is labels.

“Really the goal is to clear out the stuff that doesn’t belong and to create categories for homes for your items, so when new stuff comes in, you know where it is supposed to go,” Desmond said.

When buying storage items such as bins and baskets, Desmond advises to measure the space first to make sure the items will fit.

For those who would rather hire a company to organize their homes, companies such as Utterly Uncluttered, which services Oakland County, not only declutter and organize, but they also can shop for materials and supplies to fit their clients’ homes or use materials and supplies that their clients already own.

When selecting a company, find someone whose style you like, Desmond said, as they all offer similar services and generally comparable rates. Although she does not state her prices online, she said that organization companies generally charge somewhere between $50 and $150 per organizer per hour.

She said she generally sends two to three organizers to a home at a time.

Desmond, 33, a married mother of one, founded her company in 2019 after she real-

ized that she enjoys creating organization and that doing so is very marketable. She said she started by organizing for family and friends, and the business expanded from there.

“I love helping other people and feeling like everything I do daily has a purpose,” said Desmond.

Today, Desmond has six employees and services four to five clients per week.

“It’s a very common need, so there are all varying levels of clutter. Just because somebody doesn’t have a lot of clutter doesn’t mean they are not looking for an organizing service,” Desmond said. “There’s the element to it where we help people go through their belongings and figure out what to keep and what to get rid of, and there’s also that element of taking a space to the next level and making it look really beautifully organized.

So there are all varying levels of need, and it all just really depends on what someone is looking for help with.”

County officials plant trees for Arbor Day

BY DEAN VAGLIA MACOMB COUNTY — Officials from Macomb County and the Village of Romeo came together on Friday, April 28, to plant 29 trees at Trailside Park in Romeo for Arbor Day. Trailside Park is located along the Macomb Orchard Trail near 32 Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue. The park is a former Macomb County Road Commission storage site, which was redeveloped into natural space. By planting trees in the park, the site is able to further become a recreation destination.

“With the addition of these new trees at Trailside Park, we’re continuing to make this outdoor space a beautiful and welcoming place for residents and visitors,” Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel said. “I am so pleased to mark Arbor Day in this manner and to once again demonstrate the county’s commitment to improving our environment and taking care of our community.”

The event was led by Macomb County Planning and Economic Development, which will host several plantings this season through its Green Macomb Urban Forest

the same as the prior year. Varney said the average taxable value on a Sterling Heights home is $91,930, resulting in $1,506 in annual taxes, or $125 per month.

“And that’s about $8 per month higher than last year,” she added.

Varney added that the budget — among other things — includes almost $13 million for road improvements, nine more full-time workers, a city internship program, 21 police vehicles, a replacement ambulance and additional gear for public safety.

After the May 1 presentation, Councilman Michael Radtke praised the administration for an excellent budget.

“For once, I think everyone got a little bit of what they wanted, and I’m very happy to vote for this budget,” he said.

Motion to lower millage rate, cancel hiring changes fails

According to city officials, the 2023-24 budget expects the city to have a staff of 531 full-time workers, which is still 118 fewer than in 2008.

During an April 25 budget meeting, Councilman Henry Yanez proposed reduc-

ing the budget’s millage from 16.38 mills to 16.28 by eliminating some of the newly slated positions or keeping existing ones as part-time.

More specifically, this would’ve been canceling the hiring of a diversity, equity and inclusion officer; a recreation supervisor; a geographic information system specialist; and a purchasing coordinator. And it would’ve meant keeping a librarian, a financial services senior clerk and an electrical inspector as part-time positions instead of making them full-time.

Yanez said he didn’t want to make any additional hires until the city undergoes a Fire Department strategic planning process to see what that department might need. He also wanted to reduce the millage rate because “people, frankly, need a break.”

“Prices have gone up on everything — everything: gas, commodities, electric,” he explained.

Varney estimated that a hypothetical millage rate reduction would cut revenue by around $540,000, saving the average resident around $9 a year.

Mayor Michael Taylor opposed the motion, explaining that city officials for years have talked about adding more workers to City Hall to support existing staff.

“We are dangerously close to stressing

Budget

out our employees to the point where they’re going to go to other cities. It’s already happened. We’ve seen it,” Taylor said.

“Nobody is going to notice a $10 difference in their property tax bills,” he later continued. “I mean, if we were talking about $100, $200, $300 of savings, that’s real money that people can use to buy groceries, to buy gas for their cars, you know, to help defray the costs of higher utility bills. But $10 in a year? That’s not worth it.”

In the end, the motion failed 2-4. Yanez and Councilwoman Deanna Koski voted yes on the motion, while Radtke, Taylor and Councilwomen Maria Schmidt and Barbara Ziarko voted no. Mayor Pro Tem Liz Sierawski was absent during that meeting.

Bingo Pet Salon is here fur you Last fall, Clinton and Brian Lane opened up Bingo Pet Salon at 41740 Hayes Road, between 18 Mile and 19 Mile roads in Clinton Township.

With a staff of dedicated employees, Bingo Pet Salon offers grooming services for dogs in a spacious, clean and caring environment.

Bingo Pet Salon offers shampooing, conditioning, nail care, ear cleaning, gland checks, baths and full haircuts. All the groomers are professionally trained and work with each customer to ensure their pooches are receiving the best care. All dog breeds and sizes are welcome. “We recommend the dogs come in every six to eight weeks for maintenance. We try to take more of an approach to educate and help customers as well,” Brian Lane said.

“We talk about brushing and maintenance to keep their dog looking good between groomings.”

The pet owners don’t stay with the animals while they are being cared for, because it tends to make them anxious.

A grooming session usually takes three to four hours. However, if the poochie doesn’t need a haircut, then the appointment will take one to two hours.“Our priority is the comfort of the animal,” Brian Lane said. “Our goal is to get them comfortable.”

Bingo Pet Salon uses all-natural shampoos and conditioners. Natural shampoos bring benefits to the skin and coats of dogs and puppies, creating thicker, shinier and healthier hair. The shampoos are gentle so the natural oil of the pet’s fur is not stripped away.

Deshedding packages are available, as are whitening baths.

Another service includes foot scrubs for dogs with rough paws. Grooming appointments are scheduled ahead of time, and walk-ins also are welcome for nail trimming. To receive service, the animals all must be up on their immunizations.

The Clinton Township salon is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.

As a business, Bingo Pet Salon also is community-oriented and has been known to support various events by donating gift cards for services.

For more information on the Clinton Township location, call (586) 690-7504 or visit www.bingopetsalon.com. The business also has a Facebook page.

GROSSE POINTE WOODS — According to police reports, an unknown suspect entered an unlocked vehicle while it was parked in the driveway of a home in the 2100 block of Hollywood Avenue between the hours of 10 p.m. April 20 and 8 a.m. April 21 and stole several Amazon packages and a gray backpack.

The total value of the missing items is said to be about $60. The vehicle was unlocked at the time.

In a second incident, an unknown suspect entered a vehicle parked in the driveway of a home in the 2300 block of Allard Avenue between the night of April 20 and 11 a.m. April 21 and stole a Rolex watch worth $14,000, along with a wallet. The victim told police the vehicle was locked but a key was left inside the passenger door pocket, so if anyone tried the vehicle door handle, they would have been able to get inside the vehicle. The missing items were removed from the center console.

More vehicles taken

GROSSE POINTE PARK — Between the hours of 2 p.m. April 19 and 7:09 a.m. April 20, an unknown suspect is said to have stolen a white 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix from where it was parked on the street in the 1000 block of Wayburn Street.

On April 21, a 2021 blue Kia Forte was stolen from the 1400 block of Lakepointe Street. Police said the suspect or suspects stole the Kia without the keys.

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 6:22 p.m. April 7, officers were dispatched to a residence in the area of Shelby and 25 Mile roads for a domestic violence complaint. Upon arrival, officers interviewed all the people in the home. According to the caller, she stated that she just came home from the bar with her daughter, at which point her daughter started yelling at her. The argument escalated to the point where the daughter pushed her mother to the floor in the kitchen. While falling, her head struck a cabinet, causing a laceration. The Shelby Township Fire Department was summoned to the scene to provide medical attention to the mother. The daughter was placed under arrest for domestic violence and transported to the Police Department for processing.

Computer fraud reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 5:30 p.m. on April 13, a fraud report was made after an incident the same day in the 21000 block of Bon Brae Street.

Upon arrival, an officer spoke with the victims, a 75-year-old man and a 72-year-old woman, who said she was on the computer when a pop-up window appeared. The message said the computer was infected and to call the number on the screen.

The woman reportedly called the number and provided bank information and Social Security numbers for both herself and her husband. She was then allegedly told not to tell the bank or police about it.

When the woman and man went to the bank, they were informed it was a scam and were able to change their banking information before any money was taken. An officer advised both parties to check their credit report and make a police report if anything suspicious occurs.
