“WHEN COVID HIT AND PEOPLE DIDN’T HAVE MUCH TO DO, WOODWARD WAS VERY BUSY ALL SUMMER LONG, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THAT BEHAVIORAND ACTIVITY HAS STUCK SINCE THEN”

BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com

BIRMINGHAM/BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP — As the weather warms up, the police departments along Woodward Avenue are working together to address cruising and vehicle noise.

In the recent Birmingham city manager’s report, Birmingham Police Chief Scott Grewe shared a message to the community about how the department has been handling the traffic on Woodward.

Just as they have in previous years, the Birmingham Police Department has assigned additional officers to target Woodward cruise traffic. In general, higher volumes of traffic are observed on Friday and Saturday evenings.

“Every Friday and Saturday evening we have two officers that are on overtime to work specifically the Woodward traffic issue,” Grewe said.

In addition to these officers, they are pulling one officer from their regular patrol unit that is on duty to also assist on Woodward Avenue. Other officers will be patrolling over areas of Birmingham, as regularly scheduled, and will participate in enforcement activity on Woodward when they are not working on other areas of the city.

Bloomfield Township puts out two vehicles every weekend on overtime from the time the weather breaks until around October.

“We want people to be able to enjoy their evening, but we also want people to be safe,” Bloomfield Township Police Chief James Gallagher said.

The police chiefs said the Woodward traffic became a greater issue for the community during the pandemic. While they would get routine traffic at certain parts of the summer, they noticed a shift a few years ago.

SECOND FRONT PAGE TEENS NEEDED TO VOLUNTEER AT THE LIBRARY THIS SUMMER 3A/ BIRMINGHAM-BLOOMFIELD EAGLE • MAY 24, 2023

BY MARY BETH ALMOND

malmond@candgnews.com

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP — Teenagers are invited to roll up their sleeves and make a difference by volunteering at the Bloomfield Township Public Library this summer.

The library is looking for high school student volunteers ages 14-18 who reside in Bloomfield Township or are enrolled in the Bloomfield Hills School District to lend a hand while school is out.

“We have had teen volunteers before, but, as with a lot of other offerings, it was paused when COVID-19 hit, and now we’re bringing it back,” said Lauren Catoni-Ellis, the assistant department head for the youth service’s department.

Youth Services Librarian Patricia Ballard said it’s a great opportunity for teens to help out the library and their community.

“Students can build their resume for college or job applications and earn community service hours,” she said in a statement.

The teen volunteers will help library staff during youth programs, prep materials for crafts, update displays, make sure assigned areas are shelved correctly and perform many other tasks in two-to-three hour shifts.

“Volunteering at the library is a great way to build different skills. They’ll be building team working skills.

They’ll be learning about how the library works, and they’ll be doing something that they can put on their resumes and college applications and it’s a great way for them to give back to the community,” said Assistant Library Director Katherine Bryant.

All interested teen summer volunteers should fill out the volunteer form at btpl.org/youth or at the library’s welcome, adult or youth desks.

“They will hopefully get a love of the library out of it — if they don’t love the library already. They’ll get experience working with kids, experience giving back to the com-

munity, and it would qualify for any volunteer requirements they might have for school,” added Catoni-Ellis.

All approved teen volunteers will be required to attend a one-hour orientation 10-11 a.m. Saturday, June 3, where library staff will go over expectations and how to schedule shifts, and answer questions. If a volunteer is unable to attend the orientation or needs to request accessibility accommodations, they should contact the teen volunteer coordinator at askyouth@btpl.org.

BEVERLY HILLS — The community is invited to celebrate 40 years of the annual Beverly Hills Memorial Day Parade and Carnival and 100 years of Beverly Park on Monday, May 29. A full day of fun will be offered for residents and visitors of all ages to enjoy on Memorial Day. The Beverly Hills Lions Club will be starting off the day by hosting the annual Memorial Day Fun Run. The race will begin at Beverly Elementary School at 9 a.m. for the 4-mile run and at 9:05 a.m. for the 2-mile family walk.

To watch the parade, people can find a spot on the route, which departs from Groves High School and travels north on Evergreen Road, east on Beverly Road and ends at Beverly Park. The parade will begin at 11 a.m. Drivers are advised to avoid Beverly and Evergreen roads during the parade.

Bob Borgon announced the parade for 32 years on government access cable. He has seen the parade grow into what it is today.

“It has more than doubled in size since it first started,” Borgon said.

Someone Borgon said has been in the parade every year is Pickles the Clown. She is a professional clown Borgon looks forward to seeing every year because of the stories she shares of her late father, a World War II veteran.

Since this year is the parade’s 40th anniversary, several of the original parade organizers have been inSee MEMORIAL DAY on page 26A

NONPROFITS COULD USE SOME HELP CLEANING UP COMMUNITY EFFORTS CAN GET ENTIRE FAMILY INVOLVED

BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — When school is out and the weather is nice, families can benefit from volunteering together to support local nonprofits and improve the communities they live in.

There are several different ways to volunteer throughout the local area. For families who like to spend time together outdoors, local cleanups can be a fun way to enjoy nature and impact the environment.

Environmental activist and artist Hannah Tizedes began the Michigan-based nonprofit The Cleanup Club to help create a more plastic-free environment.

The Cleanup Club is primarily based in Metro Detroit, but they also do programs in northern Michigan and along Lake Erie.

“I think it is so important to just talk about Great Lakes plastic pollution, because we hear about ocean pollution all the time, but no one ever hears about Great Lakes plastic pollution,” Tizedes said.

CHAMBER’S VILLAGE FAIR MUCH MORE THAN FUN AND GAMES

After the pandemic put the Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber’s annual Village Fair in downtown Birmingham on a two-year hiatus, it returned in 2022 to surpass attendance records with record crowds on all four days.

The 58th annual fair will be back on the streets surrounding Shain Park in downtown Birmingham June 1-4.

For the Chamber and its nonprofit partners, the joy of the fair resonates throughout the year.

“Not only is the Village Fair the Chamber’s biggest fundraiser of the year, but we have something that’s called our Nonprofit Partners Group,” said Joe Bauman, president of the Birmingham-Bloomfield Chamber of

Commerce. “We have about 50 local nonprofit and charitable organizations that are part of our network, and we allow them to apply for grants to share the proceeds of the fair.

“We’ve given a total of almost $100,000 to local nonprofits in the past five years alone to help spread the word about the great work they’re doing in the community,” Bauman said.

The partnership represents a commitment to the type of smaller, grassroots nonprofits that help make the Birmingham-Bloomfield community great. The groups include the Birmingham Family YMCA, Birmingham Youth Assistance, Birmingham Rotary Club and the Birmingham Bloomfield Community Coalition.

“Our member businesses feel like it’s important to demonstrate leadership by giving back to the organizations that are doing good work in our community,” Bauman said.

Tucked into the neighborhood around Shain Park, he said the fair is a family-friendly community carnival, almost a well-kept secret for residents and a tradition in downtown Birmingham.

While they are still planning summer programming, Tizedes said there will be several exciting opportunities for Metro Detroit families to get involved. Once summer events are finalized, they can be found at thecleanupclub.org.

“I’m super passionate about involving kids and just having more youth education around plastic pollution and what we can do as individuals,” Tizedes said. “I think it’s super important to just show kids that this is part of (their) future, (they) can help out and get creative, and it doesn’t have to be like this.’”

The Clinton River Watershed Council also offers opportunities for families to help clean up their community through the Keeping-It-Clean program.

Several different Clinton River Watershed Council programs fall under the Keeping-It-Clean umbrella, including weekly cleanups, the Clinton Cleanup and Trash Runs.

The community is encouraged to join the Weekly Clean 10 a.m.-noon Wednesdays April-November.

Each week, the Clinton River Watershed Council holds a Weekly Clean at a different park within the Clinton River watershed. The locations of this summer’s Weekly Cleans has yet to be released.

“We try to make sure that we have cleanup initiatives that hit almost all of the parks within the wa-

tershed that we can over the course of the summer,” said Cole Pachucki, the development and communication specialist for the Clinton River Watershed Council.

Volunteers are provided with the tools they need to conduct a simple cleanup. If they find anything big in the river that needs to be removed, the council coordinates with local municipalities to take care of it.

Clinton Cleanup is a larger event where they gather volunteers to clean up multiple parks on the same day. The next Clinton Cleanup will be Sept. 9.

Pachucki said some people get the most excited about the Trash Runs, which involve riding in a canoe or kayak to do a water cleanup.

Trash Runs will be held 9 a.m.-2 p.m. June 9, July 14, Aug. 18 and Sept. 8.

While the Weekly Clean and the Clinton Cleanup are appropriate for all ages, Trash Run participants should be 14 or older.

“I think it is really important for young people to get involved in any kind of youth programming that gives back to really cement the idea that being good stewards of our environment is something important,” Pachucki said. “If that kind of outdoor education and stewardship practices are instilled younger, it tends to grow lifelong stewards of the outdoors.”

THE BALDWIN LIBRARY PREPARES TO KICK OFF SUMMER READING

BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com

BIRMINGHAM — Children, teens and adults are invited to participate in the Baldwin Public Library’s Summer Reading Challenge.

Participants will be able to join fun virtual programs, crafts and activities while spending the summer enjoying good books.

The Summer Reading Challenge theme of “All Together Now” was chosen by the Collaborative Summer Library Program, a national organization.

“We are looking forward to bringing people back together,” Library Director Rebekah Craft said. “I think it is a good post-COVID theme.”

There will be several in-person programs with activities for all ages throughout the summer at the Baldwin Public Library.

“As a rule, I think the library is about community, so I think that it is a great theme that will, hopefully, start encouraging people to get together again,” Associate Director Jaclyn Miller said. “We are going to be doing some really cool things this summer, so we hope that it draws people into the library.”

While the theme was chosen nationally, each library was able to get creative with the graphics they use. This year, the Baldwin Public Library decided to have a retro food theme.

The Summer Reading Challenge runs June 9-Aug. 4. Participants can join at any point, as long as everything is tracked in their account by Aug. 4.

“I think summer is such a good time for reading, so why not pair it with a chance to win prizes?” Craft said.

There will be a Summer Reading Kickoff event Friday, June 9. Crafts, games, an ice cream truck and more will be available 1-4 p.m.

“Each program is designed to set realistic, reasonable and reachable goals for the summer,” Miller said.

The Youth Reading Challenge is for chil-

dren of all ages, from babies to sixth grade.

Children have the opportunity to earn prizes by either logging their reading time or engaging in one of the enriching activities listed in the challenge.

For every hour they read or activity they complete, they will earn a point. Once they get a certain number of points, they can choose a prize book from a special selection.

Pre-readers can participate in the program by having someone read them a story.

Once a student is a teenager, they can join the Teen Reading Challenge for incoming seventh to 12th graders.

Teens have the opportunity to earn prizes based on the time they have spent reading or completing activities. They also have the opportunity to earn points by writing book reviews.

There is an Adult Reading Challenge available where participants will be challenged to meet a reading goal. Participants can also earn points towards a grand prize drawing.

“We just want to get everyone reading and avoid the summer slide with school and make books as a fun hobby accessible to everyone,” Craft said.

The Summer Reading Challenge is sponsored by the Friends of the Baldwin Public Library. While there will be some construction at the library for the summer, Miller said she hopes that this does not discourage anyone from coming in.

“Our staff is working hard to make sure that there is fun stuff that is worth coming for,” Miller said. “We are doing our very best to make sure that the entrance is easily identifiable, and we hope that people are still able to find their way in and enjoy the library as much as they have in past summers.”

To sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge and update your progress, visit baldwinlib.beanstack.org. The Baldwin Public Library is located at 300 W. Merrill St. and can be reached at (248) 647-1700.

‘WE CREATE A FAMILY’

COUNTRY DAY’S REGIONAL TITLE REIGN FUELED BY SISTERHOOD

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

BEVERLY HILLS — Before Detroit Country Day softball was two-time regional champions and gearing up for a possible third-straight regional title this season, the program was on full reset mode after the 2020 cancellation due to COVID. All-State senior pitcher Lola Bagby was entering her sophomore season still waiting to show what she could do on the mound, but she was already making an impact off the field with her friendships of now-juniors Storm Kentros (C), Brooke Skiba (SS) and Nevaeh Wing (2B).

Now ladies who could all be considered for a Mount Rushmore version of Country Day softball, a familiarity between the four ladies that started when they were 10 years old playing softball would not only create an unbreakable friendship, but be a driving force to the new standard being set for the Country Day softball program.

Skiba, who previously played softball with Kentros before attending Country Day, said she was caught off guard when she noticed some familiar faces her freshman year.

“I didn’t even know they were coming here,” Skiba said.

“After a practice, Storm and I came to shadow and go to an open house. It was a big domino effect. I didn’t know, and then someSee SOFTBALL on page 16A

Seaholm High School juniors play music at local assisted living centers

BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com

BIRMINGHAM — Since they were in seventh grade, four students have been visiting local assisted living centers in Birmingham and Troy to play music as a string quartet.

Hannah Marshall, Sophie Hanawalt, Sloane Bialas and Hope Hughes are now juniors at Seaholm High School and continue their efforts toward brightening residents’ days at assisted living centers.

Marshall said one of the reasons they started playing at assisted living centers is because she remembers visiting her grandparents as residents in similar living situations, and she wanted to bring a positive light to these communities.

“We wanted to use our instruments to give back to the community,” Marshall said.

Throughout the years, Marshall’s mother, Sandi Marshall, has helped the students build connections with assisted living centers to set up locations to play.

While they go to some centers more than others, they cycle through about four to six places to play.

Hughes said the amount they play usually depends on their schedules. They tend to play more in the winter around the holidays, but they try to play somewhere at least once a month.

They play a range of different music during their visits. As a group, they play violin and cello. But, Bialas also sometimes sings and plays guitar for the audience.

“We try to cater to what we think they would like to hear,” Bialas said. “I play a lot of ‘50s tunes.”

They typically end shows with themes from “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, which they said is their favorite piece to play because it is very energetic.

“It is just really sweet to hear about their experiences and then also get to share something that will just brighten their day,” Hanawalt said.

The group has been performing togeth-

Local police departments team up to host Regional Youth Police Academy TEENS TO GET AN INDEPTH LOOK INTO THE WORLD OF POLICING JUNE 2630

BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP/BIRMINGHAM/ROCHESTER — Teens can get an inside look into the field of law enforcement next month thanks to a new Regional Youth Police Academy.

The police departments in Bloomfield Township, Birmingham, Rochester and Auburn Hills have joined forces this year to host the first Regional Youth Police Academy in June.

“We will be hosting a regional youth academy for our teens, where they’ll learn not only the basics of policing, but they’ll learn that we are human; they’ll learn how to interact with the police and why we do what we do,” said Officer Nick Soley of the Bloomfield Township Police Department.

Open to Oakland County students ages 14-18, the academy will take place 9 a.m.-

3:30 p.m. June 26-30 at the Bloomfield Township Training Center, 4315 Andover Road in Bloomfield Hills.

“It’s a great opportunity for teens to pull the curtain back and see what happens in the police departments in the area, get some exposure to the police departments and get some questions answered,” said Rochester Police Chief Steve Schettenhelm. “Maybe we’ll find some people who are interested in a career in law enforcement, and this is a great way to find out what it’s all about.”

The program will cover many topics of law enforcement — including a hands-on look at police equipment, tactics, investigations, criminal law, procedures, basic first aid, CPR certification, firearms safety and scenario-based training. All training is provided by officers from Bloomfield Township, Birmingham, Rochester and Auburn Hills.

“We’re going to have a lot of fun with them — whether it be over at the court or some scenario days that we’re going to have,” Soley said.

The academy is free to attend. Lunch will be provided daily, and participants will receive an academy T-shirt. Space is limited to 20 students, and applications are due be-

fore June 5.

Soley said those who apply must possess good character and a good work ethic, demonstrate their honesty and trustworthiness, be in good legal standing, and authorize their respective police department and its

agents to complete a thorough background check on them.

All applications can either be emailed to CRO@bloomfieldtwp.org, or mailed or hand delivered to Officer Nick Soley, See ACADEMY on page 26A > edwardjones.com | Member SIPC

one else went and it just all worked out, and we all knew each other but we didn’t know.”

Two years later, Country Day is one of the top-15 teams in Division 2 according to Michigan High School Athletic Association Rankings, and they’re proving why again this season, holding a 13-12-1 record this season and a marque win over Macomb Dakota, who is currently the No. 1 ranked team in the Division 1.

Country Day’s “set the standard” and “one team, one goal” mottos this season not only reflect the team’s heightened expectations, but also embodies the culture that Country Day first-year coach Brian Skiba, Bagby, Kentros, Skiba, Wing, senior Catherine Hiemstra (1B), and juniors Megan Kenney (OF) and Josephine Imsland (OF) helped establish.

“We create a family here,” Bagby said.

“We’re all about having a sound mind and sound body, but also that family culture.

We’re all close. I’d do anything for my teammates, and I think they’d have my back in anything we do.”

While back-to-back regionals titles is

something to tip your cap to each season, it’s been Groundhog Day when it comes to the MHSAA quarterfinals for Country Day. Country Day has been outscored 11-2 in both quarterfinals matchups, but it’s a new team with a new mindset this season.

“It’s tough, and it definitely feels like we didn’t put our all out there,” Kentros said.

“It’s tough to have those two losses, but I’m ready to come in this year, especially with our team.”

A three-year starter and force behind the plate, Kentros’ chemistry with Bagby has made for an exciting pitcher-catcher duo this season. Sophomore Mirissa Brown has been a consistent contributor on the mound this season as well for Country Day. Offensively, it’s been a top-to-bottom showing from the Country Day lineup.

Freshman Elise Hiemstra (3B), Catherine’s younger sister, and sophomore Evangeline Greenwald (OF) became an embarrassment of riches to an already strong lineup.

But like their culture reflects, every Country Day player has their part to play in the team’s success.

“You got 13 girls on this field, and you got to give everything that you have for every single play,” Kentros said. “Every pitch for every single one of these girls, because they

would do the same for you.”

The Country Day culture prides itself on everyone being leaders, but both Bagby and Catherine Hiemstra do everything and more to be expected from a senior duo.

There’s no captains, there’s no favorites, and there’s no singular person to rely on for the team’s voice, and that’s part of what makes Country Day have the bond they’ve developed.

While recognizing that, Bagby and Hiemstra may provide their leadership from a more personable standpoint.

“Lola is a big leader on this team,” Brooke Skiba said. “She’s like everybody’s mom. She’s a big leader on this team, and she keeps everybody in check. She’s super funny too. Catherine (Hiemstra) is like the nicest kid ever, and she’s really stepped up this year.”

Hiemstra, a four-year varsity player, will help lead Country Day softball in her final season as they open district play against Orchard Lake St. Mary’s June 3 at St. Mary’s High School.

Country Day defeated St. Mary’s 1915 May 18 this season in an offensive battle that showcased a home run from Kentros and Kenney and four hits from Imsland.

With Country Day’s mix of chemistry and experience, it’s going to be a fun journey

to watch as they enter the state tournament in two weeks.

“When we have really good energy and we’re cheering, it’s really hard to beat us, but we just have to stay at that level and come out strong and finish strong,” Catherine Hiemstra said. “When we keep that energy the whole game, we’re really hard to touch.”

PATIENT NEIL SAYS:

I have been on testosterone pellets for about a year. I was skeptical when I started the treatment, but I was struggling to lose weight and get my A1C under control without having to start insulin. As a result of the treatments, I have lost 25 lbs. without drastically altering my diet.

My A1C has come down from 9.1 to 7.4 without insulin. I also have more energy and I am more active with everyday tasks. The treatments also increased my libido. I would recommend the treatment to anyone who is feeling lethargic or having a hard time losing weight.

Woodward from page 1A

“When COVID hit and people didn’t have much to do, Woodward was very busy all summer long, and it seems like that behavior and activity has stuck since then,” Grewe said.

Local police departments and municipalities have been working with state representatives.

“We are limited by what state law permits us, especially for the noise,” Gallagher said. “Our laws and the way they are written on the books today make it very difficult to enforce the sound from these cars.”

According to Grewe’s message in the City Manager report, the Birmingham Police Department contacted state representatives in the fall of 2022 and provided a suggested change in state law giving the police an enforcement tool to address the issue of noise from vehicles, as well as seeking support from the county.

Grewe was joined by police chiefs from Royal Oak and Ferndale, who supported the

request.

Bloomfield Township held a meeting with agencies along Woodward Avenue, as well as with the Michigan State Police, Oakland County commissioners, state representatives and other local leaders April 19 to discuss reckless driving along the Woodward corridor. This meeting was in response to the recent fatal drag racing accident.

In the city manager’s report, Grewe reported that over the weekend of Friday, April 15 and Saturday, April 16, officers wrote 67 tickets and arrested an intoxicated driver as additional Woodward traffic detail officers worked 5 p.m.-midnight.

To provide additional funding for Woodward enforcement patrols, the Birmingham Police Department has also applied for grant funding from the Office of Highway Safety Planning.

The Birmingham Police Department is located at 151 Martin Street and can be contacted at (248) 530-1800. The Bloomfield Township Police Department is located at 4200 Telegraph Road and can be contacted at (248) 433-7755.

BRING YOUR GARDEN TO LIFE WITH THESE TIPS FROM A GARDENING PRO

BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — Whether someone is a newbie or a veteran, master gardener Mil Hurley — owner of the Grosse Pointe Farms-based business, A Southern Gardener — believes anyone can create a garden of which they’re proud.

“She says, ‘Yes, you can,’” said Grosse Pointe Farms City Councilwoman Sierra Donaven, chair of the Farms’ Beautification Advisory Commission.

To help gardeners of all skill levels, Hurley outlined “The Principals of Garden Design and Maintenance” during a Farms Beautification Advisory Commission program May 10 at Pier Park.

Hurley has a lifetime of experience working with plants.

“Her love for gardening started as a child,” Donaven said of Hurley, who grew up on a farm in the South.

Hurley said principals of garden design include unity, proportion and balance — whether the garden is formal or informal, symmetrical or asymmetrical. Proportion extends not only to elements within the garden, but to whether the garden is in alignment with the home and the lot. Unity refers to everything working together to create an overall design, Hurley explained.

Every garden should have a focal point or focal points.

“It can be something fun,” said Hurley, noting that one person used painted dowels to add interest.

The focal point can be a plant, but it can also be an object like a bench. It just

needs to be something eye-catching.

“The focal point doesn’t necessarily have to be in the center,” Hurley said.

Simplicity can make for an effective garden.

“Simplicity doesn’t mean it’s boring,” said Hurley.

If gardeners put in the right plant or plants, the garden won’t require a lot of work, she said.

Rhythm can be created in a garden through repetition or something like a curved hedge, Hurley said.

Small gardens can make a big impact.

Hurley said consider putting a small garden in the middle of a large yard.

One of the most important things gardeners can do is to read the tags on the plants before buying them. Hurley said gardeners need to pay close attention to the amount of sun each plant requires, because putting a plant in the wrong spot means it won’t thrive or bloom.

If you’re not sure how much sun a portion of your yard gets, Hurley said to put a timer on at 8 a.m. one day and check that area every hour during the day. Plants that require full sun need a spot that’s sunny six hours or more a day; plants that need partial sun/partial shade should get roughly four to six hours of sun daily; and plants that need to be in shade should be in a location that gets four hours or less of full sun. This can change from year to year as trees grow or are removed, a homeowner or neighbor adds an addition, or other aspects of the surroundings change.

Soil is the foundation on which every garden grows. Hurley said there are three

types: clay, which doesn’t drain well; sand, which does drain well but lacks nutrients; and loam, which is nutrient-dense. Compost be used to create soil that will give plants the nutrients necessary for healthy growth.

Gardeners also have another natural and nutritious, free resource to improve their soil: leaves. Hurley said gardeners should leave the leaves in their garden beds in the spring, rather than having them blown out.

“You are doing a disservice to yourself by having those leaves taken out of your gardening beds,” Hurley said.

If people don’t like the look of leaves in their garden bed, they can put mulch on top of them. Hurley said the leaves will still break down underneath the mulch, and gardeners don’t need to put as much mulch in their garden beds when there’s a layer of leaves below.

Because mulch breaks down, Hurley recommends that homeowners consider

avoiding dyed mulch, because the chemicals used in those dyes will end up in the soil and water.

Hurley said homeowners don’t need to tear up their entire yard for a garden — a container with interesting plants can also work well. She said the same principles of good garden design apply to containers.

When planting trees, shrubs or other plants, Hurley said, mulch should be placed at the base of the plant in a doughnut shape, not a volcano, because mulch piled up at the base will make the plant or bark wet and weak, as well as create an environment that can harbor bacteria or pests.

Whether a garden is formal or informal is up to the homeowner. The same is true of how it’s designed. As Hurley observed, “There are no garden police.”

“I encourage you to be yourself with your garden,” Hurley said. “Let it speak to who you are.”

quickly,” Seaholm coach John Toth said. “I saw it at some point, but didn’t think it was going to be right away, but here we are.”

Toth, in his 10th year at Seaholm, has had a front row seat to this evolution of the senior and junior classes this year, as a healthy amount of the starting lineup has played since their freshman and sophomore year on varsity.

Seaholm twins and juniors Colton and Granden Kinnie, who play third base and shortstop, respectively, were the first to make their name on the varsity roster in 2021, and juniors Nick Shenefelt (P) and Kyle Robbins (P) followed suit after being brought up midseason their freshman year.

Now they’re leading Seaholm to an impressive 23-2 record, and Granden Kinnie said the success is in large part to how they were brought up in Toth’s program.

“Freshman and sophomore years, we were raw, like diamonds in the rough, I’d say,” Kinnie said. “He carved us up to where we are this year with him being hard on us.”

The sophomore season was a feelingout process for the young squad as seven sophomores took the field last season for Seaholm.

Similar to the Detroit Tigers’ lineup this season, Seaholm was letting the young guys find their footing, and they repaid Toth with a hard-fought 18-17 season.

In the process, the team’s chemistry would become the most lethal part of their success this year.

“Definitely an unbreakable bond,” Granden Kinnie said. “Most of the guys we’ve been playing with, we’ve played with since Little League, so 8 years old or 9 years old.”

On the field, the pitching staff has worn opponents down all season with appearances from Shenefelt, Robbins, Granden Kinnie and junior Kai McEachern.

Shenefelt, who is equally as dangerous on the offensive end, has tallied three nohitters this season en route to an all-State worthy season, while Robbins has been a strikeout maestro this season.

The pitching staff is also lucky enough to have an extra coach on the field in junior Aiden Wolfson behind the dish.

Toth said there’s one component of Shenefelt’s game that stands out to him the most.

“He is one of the most poised kids I’ve ever had,” Toth said. “Nothing phases him, and nothing rattles him.”

Offensively, it’s as top-to-bottom as it gets with Shenefelt, Granden and Colton

Village of Beverly Hills Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting 6/12/2023 The Village of Beverly Hills Zoning Board of Appeals will hold a meeting on Monday, June 12, 2023, at 7:30 pm at the Village of Beverly Hills Office at 18500 W 13 Mile Rd, Beverly Hills, MI 48025.

The following case will be heard: Case #1409: In order to allow a third 160 square foot accessory building on the property located at 19855 Sunnyslope Drive, the homeowner is requesting a variance from Section 22.08.100.e. of Chapter 22, “Zoning Ordinance” limiting the total number of accessory buildings located on a single-family residential lot to two (2).

Junior Kyle Robbins controls the mound for Seaholm.

Kinnie, Robbins, Wolfson, junior Jack Lewis, junior Logan DeVos, and seniors Grant Welch and Jack Hulgrave forefronting the offensive unit.

In 25 games this season, Seaholm has scored 10 or more runs in 11 games, averaging just under nine runs per game.

Toth said the offensive firepower goes back to the team chemistry and accountability.

“If someone doesn’t do something the right way, they get on each other, so I think it was just a maturity thing where, as soon as they figured out how they can play and win, they’ve done it themselves,” Toth said.

“It’s top to bottom, one hitter to nine hitter, and it’s guys on our bench; everyone is on the same page.”

Seaholm will open up district play against Southfield A&T baseball June 3 at 10 a.m. at Warriors Park in Troy. The Maples will face the winner of Birmingham Groves and Bloomfield Hills Brother Rice June 3 at 2:30 p.m. at Warriors Park.

Seaholm swept Groves in a two-game set this season, and last played Brother Rice in the 2018-2019 state tournament district finals, losing 11-1. While the Maples look for their first state tournament win since the 2018-2019 season, maybe this group can also be the second team in Seaholm’s history to win an MHSAA Division 1 State Championship since a Don Sackett-led team did it in 1988.

“We’re a very sneaky team,” Granden Kinnie said. “I don’t think everyone expects us to be this good, but we grind out games.”

Interested parties may comment on the request in person at the scheduled hearing. Written comments may be submitted in person or by mail to The Village of Beverly Hills, Zoning Board of Appeals, 18500 W. 13 Mile Road, Beverly Hills, MI 48025. Comments may also be submitted via email to mstec@villagebeverlyhills.com by 4:30 p.m. on the date of the hearing. The application may be reviewed at the Village Hall between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

VALERIE MANN SHOWS ‘GOOD GRIEF’ AT BBAC

BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com

BIRMINGHAM — Valerie Mann’s “Good Grief ” exhibit will be featured at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center through June 1.

Mann, an artist from Saline, has a background in sculpture in painting, so many of her pieces consist of sculptural work that hangs on walls.

“Because I have this 2D and 3D background, I feel like I’m always working at that place where they meet,” Mann said. “I try to make work that is somewhat delicate when you first come upon it, but then it elicits some strong feelings or strong reactions in terms of curiosity.”

Mann has had pieces in the Michigan Fine Arts Competition several times.

“I thought she would be a really great fit for a one-person show so we could really immerse ourselves in her installations,” Annie VanGelderen, the president and CEO of the BBAC, said.

VanGelderen said she could get lost in so many of Mann’s pieces. One of her favorites is titled “Lamentations.”

“Not only are you intrigued by how it is put together in almost a quilt-like fashion, but also the shadows that play on the wall,” VanGelderen said.

Shadows are an important element of Mann’s work.

“They are like ephemeral drawings on the wall — additional lines that my pieces draw on the walls,” Mann said. ‘They create a relationship between the sculptures and the wall.”

The first piece Mann made for “Good Grief ” was started in the beginning of the

pandemic and is titled “Safety Net.” “I was sort of capitalizing on the word safety net that were being thrown around a lot,” Mann said. “The safety net for people in our American society, but also around the world, was really being put to the test.”

The rest of her pieces in the exhibit were built on the idea that during the pandemic, the word grief became unavoidable as people were experiencing it in many different ways and all of the time.

One of the most recent pieces is titled “Correspondence.” This piece uses materials that are repurposed, as do most of her pieces.

“For me, as the maker, it’s been really important that it is repurposed, because I don’t want to have any harder of a footprint on the earth than I’m already gonna have as a human,” Mann said.

Mann from page 20A

In “Correspondence,” Mann repurposes old electrical cords to create a piece that is reminiscent of the loops in cursive handwriting.

Mann said this piece is a dedication to her late grandmother, who she had a 10-year correspondence with from the time Mann left her parents house until her grandmother passed.

“I saved every single one of those, be-

cause she was this person in my life who just made me feel like I was the most important thing to her every time I saw her. It always makes me think that I hope everyone has someone in their life that makes them feel so celebrated,” Mann said.

In addition to that significant correspondence, Mann said she and her aunt have also written every other week for 35 years since she left college. Mann reflects on the impact this kind of longstanding correspondence can have on a connection.

FROM THE GARAGE TO THE CRUISE LANE

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Dave Renke purchased his first car before he even had a driver’s license.

Two weeks before his 16th birthday, in the spring of 1976, Renke and a few friends were riding their 10-speed bicycles in St. Clair Shores. When biking through a random parking lot, the group spotted a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air. Renke couldn’t take his eyes off the seafoam green beauty.

The teenager left a written note on the windshield with his phone number, asking the owner to contact him if interested in selling the vehicle.

“It was a 210 model, two-door post with a six-cylinder engine and an automatic Powerglide transmission,” Renke remembered.

When he got home, the phone rang and on the other end of the line was the Bel Air owner, who made an offer to sell the car for $800. An excited Renke told his dad, who wasn’t so sure it was a good deal.

“Why do you want to buy an old car like that?” he said.

But Dad gave the OK for Renke to use the money he

earned from his paper route to buy his first-ever set of wheels.

Renke has always been a fan of the Tri-Five Chevy models, which refers to the 1955, 1956 and 1957 Chevrolet automobiles, including the Bel Air and Nomad.

“I always thought they were very cool and was glad I bought it,” he said. “If you look at the ’54 Chevy, it was more rounded. In ’55, they made a big change to the body style. In ’55, you could get more color options.”

For many years, Renke’s teenage purchase sat in his parents’ Warren garage.

“I didn’t start enjoying it until the late ’80s and early ’90s,” he said. “I was always saving up enough money so I could buy the next part.”

Prior to that, Renke and his friends spent many nights in the garage restoring the Bel Air. “It originally had a six-cylinder, and then we put a V-8 engine in it,” Renke said. “There was more power. I found an original 265 V-8 Engine and had it rebuilt.”

In the late 1980s, the Bel Air got a new look when Renke’s cousin painted it India Ivory and Gypsy Red, which remain its current colors. While many maintenance upgrades have been See CHEVY BEL AIR on page 24A

completed over the years, “I tried to keep the car with the original look,” he said.

Renke took the Bel Air with him when he and his wife, Rosemary, moved to Sterling Heights, and it’s still with the couple, who now reside in Macomb Township. Renke’s interest in cars dates way back to the days when he and his friends would take apart their bicycles. Renke eventually moved on to cars by buying and selling several different models, including a 1975 Fiat Spider, a 1969 AMC

Javelin, a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass and a 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix over the years.

“He always had a different car in high school,” Rosemary recalled.

According to Renke, because of his love for restoring older cars, Rosemary has “graciously” given up a parking spot in their garage for the past 30-plus years for the Bel Air. “It’s too nostalgic. It’s a part of who he is,” Rosemary said. “Cars are a part of your life.”

In time, Renke’s dad had a change of heart and made Renke promise to never sell the Bel Air. “Seems he became very fond of it over

the years, just as I have,” Renke said. “And I plan to keep the car and hope to pass it to someone in my family down the road.”

The Renkes’ four daughters also are big fans of the Bel Air. Three of their daughters are married, and the car was on-site and photographed with each couple at all three weddings.

“They have fun memories of it,” Renke said.

Renke often takes his ’55 Chevy to many of the local car cruises and shows, including the Woodward Dream Cruise and the Lakeside Mall Circle Cruise-In on Monday nights in Sterling Heights. One fun event

is the Berkley car parade the Friday evening before the Dream Cruise on Saturday.

“You can park your car at the cemetery, get out and can talk to people. You drive down 12 Mile. The crowd is cheering. You feel like a celebrity,” Renke said. “You usually get a thumbs-up or a wave. People come to you and say, ‘My dad had a car like that.’ Everyone is very friendly.”

The most mileage the Bel Air gets are the drives to Port Austin for its annual Carfest. As he prepares to retire soon, Renke hopes to enjoy his vintage vehicle “even more with family and friends.”
