HARRISON TOWNSHIP — Algae was the talk of the town at the May 8 Harrison Township Board of Trustees meeting, as county commissioner Barbara Zinner stopped by to give an update on the investigation into the Lyngbya infestation. Lyngbya is an algae-like substance that has grown in Lake St. Clair for at least the past decade. Lyngbya gets caught around the shorelines and has caused significant damage, including the reconfiguration of the Jefferson Avenue boat launch. Macomb County recently approved an

Between the mileages and the pool of guests that visit the museum, the many communities in Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties all play a part in helping the DIA be what it is. So why not bring the art to them? Inside|Out has been doing just that since 2009, displaying replica pieces of the DIA’s collection across metro Detroit. “Our former director, Graham Beal, saw a similar exterior artwork display in London,” said Ian Rapnicki, DIA public affairs officer. “The Tate Modern was undergoing

‘EMERGENCE’ SHOW FEATURES BIRMINGHAM ARTS SOCIETY BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com
MOUNT CLEMENS — Art and artists from around Michigan and the world have adorned the galleries of the Anton Art Center, but the latest show at the nonprofit’s home in Mount Clemens comes from just across town. “Emergence,” running from May 6 until June 10, features 45 works created by the members of the Birmingham Society of Women Painters. Founded nearly 80 years ago, in 1944, the society has allowed its members to pursue their artistic passions and get the recognition they deserve. “It was started because women painters were not really accepted or getting into shows or anything like that,” said Lesley Kutinsky, president of the Birmingham Society of Women Painters. “So to support women painters, a group of women got together and started the BSWP.” The society takes part in multiple gallery shows a year — this past year, it has been involved in six shows — one of which takes place at the local Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center. “Emergence” is their most recent show at the Anton Art Center, their last taking place in 2016. “I have to say that the Anton gallery is just beautiful and one of the loveliest galleries I’ve seen,” Kutinsky said. “It displays the artwork amazingly. It’s just beautiful.” Around 80 paintings were submitted for the exhibition, according to Kutinsky. Guest juror Darcel Deneau, a 2021 Kresge Arts in Detroit fellow and a graduate of the College for Creative studies, selected which of those would make up the 45 works to be displayed as well as which ones would receive further awards. A total of 25 of the society’s members are represented in the show. “(Deneau) was here to juror the show on the opening reception date and was originally asked to only choose two honorable mentions, but she loved the entries so much she asked if she could add two more,” said Stephanie Hazzard, exhibition manager at the Anton Art Center. “The group agreed and they added two more awards to the show.” The Anton Art Center is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and has free admission. More information about the Anton Art Center can be found at theartcenter.org, and more information about the Birmingham Society of Women Painters can be found at bswpainters.org.

Clinton trustees approve applying for police personnel grant BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — At its meeting on May 8, the Clinton Township Board of Trustees voted to pursue a grant that would allow the Police Department to establish a traffic unit. Provided through the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, the COPS Hiring Program grant would provide funding to hire four additional officers at a rate of $125,000 per officer for three years. Chief Dina Caringi and Capt. Preston Susalla, of the Clinton Township Police Department, approached the board with the intention of using the funds to boost the department’s traffic and community policing capabilities through the creation of a traffic enforcement bureau. “The traffic bureau is a win-win for our department and for the community because (officers) are able to spend some really significant time in some of these problem areas getting to know the community (and) the residents, the neighborhoods (and) enhance our community relations in
that aspect,” Caringi said. “It is to increase driver safety through enforcement, sure, but we also have an opportunity to grow as far as providing education.” Some of the community education ideas Caringi suggested include having the grant-hired officers go to high schools and give presentations. The officers could also be positioned around the township to increase the department’s presence. Susalla recounted a time from when he was part of the department’s former traffic bureau, when being out in the community allowed him to build relationships with residents, which sometimes led to residents offering him coffee. Trustee Mike Keys, having looked over the department’s priorities for the grant and comparing it to the COPS grant’s wording, was unsure if putting the funds toward a traffic bureau would be in line with the goal of improved community policing. “This really, to me, should be used as a way to think outside of the box in community engagement and not the typical traffic situation in a neighborhood, meeting those that are willing to come give (officers) a coffee,” Keys said.

“What I really want to see is those residents that aren’t comfortable with you to come knock on your window and give you a coffee.” Some of the applications Keys suggested were holding gun-buyback programs and giving auto part waivers in place of some tickets. Trustee Tammy Patton supported Keys’ suggestions, while also imploring the department to look into ways of enforcing traffic laws without utilizing officers, such as radar speed detectors. Township Supervisor Robert Cannon requested the department come back to the board every year to evaluate the effectiveness of the officers if awarded the grant. The board approved a grant submission with a 5-1 vote, with Keys providing the only “no” vote. Trustee Julie Matuzak was not at the meeting.
Zoning code amendments
The board also approved amendments to the township zoning code, including the creation of the Groesbeck Overlay District. The updates were made by planning firm MKSK with the goal of making the code more “user-friendly,” including streamlining sections, revising definitions, clarifying the responsibilities of the building and planning departments and creating an overlay district to govern work on commercial and industrial properties along the M-97 corridor. “The goal is to ensure the corridor is more consistent and (to) help beautify the corridor,” said Ann Marie Kerby, a senior

A total of $121,901 was put toward administrative costs, with an additional $8,000 going toward fair housing testing. In the miscellaneous uses category, $220,605 was put toward housing rehabilitation; $212,500 was put toward bringing sidewalks and curbs up to Americans with Disabilities Act standards; and $45,000 was put toward improving the senior center.

PLAN A RELAXING TRIP TO THE TRAVERSE WINE COAST BY GREG TASKER olfers, sailors and outdoor enthusiasts have long flocked to the wooded hills and crystal-clear lakes around Traverse City, but in recent years, the Cherry Capital has increasingly become a hot spot for casual and even serious wine enthusiasts. No wonder. Some 40 wineries surround this small, postcard-pretty town, which sits at the base of two peninsulas, each designated as its own distinctive grape-growing region. These wineries on the Leelanau and Old Mission peninsulas are a huge part of the tourism scene in Traverse City, especially in the summer and fall. What makes this region so special in the vast world of wine? Location. The moderating waters of Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay enable winemakers here to grow familiar European grapes, including chardonnay, riesling, pinot noir, cabernet franc and others. The warm waters protect against late spring and early fall frosts. Also worth noting is that the region lies along the 45th parallel, the same latitude as famous wine areas such as the Piedmont region of Italy and the Rhone Valley and Bordeaux in France. Traverse City makes for an easy weekend visit from metro Detroit. To make the most of a visit to the Traverse Wine Coast, as the region has dubbed itself to the wine
G
world, it’s best to do some planning. Hours and tasting procedures vary from winery to winery. Designated trails on each peninsula can help navigate options. You can also hire a driver for group or personal tours, as many of them are very familiar with the wineries, including their selection of wines, tasting procedures and more. It used to be that you could show up at any winery unannounced and enjoy a sampling of wines. Since the pandemic, however, many wineries require reservations; it’s best to check before your visit. Many of them also offer only flights of wine or wine by the glass. “Planning is essential for visiting the wineries because there are so many to choose from,” said Nicholas Hartmann, managing director of the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail, representing about 20 wineries. “Checking with a winery ahead of time can save you the disappointment of showing up to find out they’re full because reservations are required.” Visiting wineries, he adds, is “the best way to relax and enjoy this beautiful region.” Traverse City is an ideal staging area for a wine weekend. There are plenty of hotel options and the downtown boasts a vibrant shopping district and top-notch restaurants. The city is also home to a winery, Left Foot

Charlie. The winery grows grapes on both peninsulas and offers an impressive selection, including riesling, pinot blanc and chardonnay. The winery is located in the Village at Grand Traverse Commons, a former state hospital that is now an entertainment complex with boutiques, coffee shops and restaurants. The winery’s Barrel Room provides a more intimate wine-tasting experience with charcuterie options. Old Mission is the narrowest and busiest of the two peninsulas, largely because it’s so close to downtown Traverse City and a strip of waterfront hotels. Vineyards share the pastoral landscape with tidy apple and cherry orchards, along with unparalleled views of Grand Traverse Bay. One of the first wineries along the peninsula’s main road is Mari Vineyards. The Italian-style tasting room and winery look like it was plucked from Tuscany and dropped on the hills of Old Mission. The Italian architecture is a clue to the wine being poured inside. Mari is known for growing Italian varietals, including teroldego, nebbiolo and refosco, not so common in these parts. Their growth is aided by the use of “hoop houses,” metal hoop structures draped in plastic. By the way, Mari is owned by the family featured in the reality series “The Curse of Oak Island,” which follows treasure hunters on the island off the shore of Nova Scotia. Brys Estate Vineyard and Winery is an ideal place to enjoy a glass or flight of wine on the deck, which overlooks vineyards and Grand Traverse Bay. Standout wine options include pinot blanc, sauvignon blanc and cabernet franc. Not to be missed is the frosé, a frozen rosé. You can top the concoction with a small pour of your favorite wine. Stroll the secret garden to pick lavender in season and browse a selection of lavenderinspired products. For an overnight option, consider Chateau Chantal Winery and Inn. The well-appointed rooms evoke the styles of a French chateau. Overnight guests receive a bottle of
wine and complimentary wine tastings. A gourmet breakfast is served on a patio overlooking vineyards and Grand Traverse Bay. Cap an afternoon on Old Mission with a stop at the historic Mission Point Lighthouse at the peninsula’s tip. The 1870 lighthouse is open for self-guided tours. The much larger Leelanau Peninsula lies west of Traverse City and is home to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The national lakeshore is a must-see and makes for an easy stopover before heading to wineries. Climb dunes or take a drive up Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive for panoramic views of Lake Michigan. North of Sleeping Bear, on Route 22, Good Harbor Vineyards is one of the peninsula’s oldest wineries and pours favorites like riesling, chardonnay and pinot grigio. Its sister winery, Aurora Cellars, is outside Lake Leelanau. Known for its red wines (like blaufrankisch and cabernet franc), the winery includes a renovated 19th century farmhouse that is open to overnight guests. At Shady Lane Cellars, you can sip alfresco in a tasting pavilion with a furnished patio and outdoor fireplace. Top choices here include gruner veltliner, pinot gris and Franc ‘n’ Franc, a blend of cabernet franc and blaufrankisch. Eight miles from Traverse City, this property was once a 100-acre fruit farm. Be sure to step inside the tasting room, a restored 100-year-old fieldstone chicken coop. South of Suttons Bay, the Inn at Black Star Farms, which includes a winery, boasts upscale accommodations in a Kentuckystyle estate home. The inn is set amid 160 acres and boasts 10 classically furnished guest rooms. Besides the winery, the property includes a farm-to-table bistro, an equestrian facility and hiking trails. The tasting room menu boasts an expansive selection of dry and sweet wines and spirits. Be sure to try the dry riesling, chardonnay and the dry reds. Greg Tasker is a Traverse City-based freelance writer and works part-time at a winery on the Leelanau Peninsula, Verterra Winery. He highly recommends visiting the winery’s Leland tasting room or vineyard, The Ridge at Verterra, just south of Northport.

Confinement is not a substitute for treatment, and it is time for a mindful approach to mental health.” The expansion will replace the existing rehabilitation center, maximum security facilities and work release center. All inmates will pass through a revamped intake center, where they are screened for any mental health or substance abuse issues. If someone is determined to have such issues, Hackel said they may be able to “bypass” the criminal justice process in order to receive treatment if they do not pose a significant threat. “The main issue is making sure that, if somebody who is going to be here is identified as being a danger to society or (accused of ) some type of severe crime, we’re not letting them go,” Hackel said. “It’s not about people getting depression because somebody has a mental health issue and we’re finding some other location for them. If they need to be housed here (because) they committed a crime, we’re going to try to find out how to manage their care while they’re doing time in the county jail.” The jail will expand its medical and mental health intake bed count to 162, 108 more beds than it currently has. The total inmate capacity will be 1,218, an increase over its current capacity of 1,034 inmates. According to Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham, the jail housed 782 inmates on the morning of May 11. With demolition set to begin sometime around 2025, the new facility will require state funds to meet its $228 million estimated demolition and construction cost. A total of $178 million will be split between county general fund dollars and American Rescue Plan Act funds, with the latter accounting for $128 million. The state is expected to provide the remaining $50 million. If not, Macomb County Deputy Executive Vicki Wolber said the county’s Board of Commissioners would be asked for additional funds, “whether that is other county funds or if we do need to go and ask for a bond.” According to officials, the move for improved mental health services in the county jail is because of a long-term cutting of public health services and facilities. This has led to jails becoming the primary mode of treatment for people with mental health and substance abuse issues. “County jails have been the mental health centers for many years,” Wickersham

Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel discusses a proposed $228 million expansion of the Macomb County Jail, with a focus on mental health at a press conference May 11. said. “Here in Macomb County, we have been working on enhancing the supervision of those inmates and providing services to those that have mental health and substance abuse disorders.” A 2016 assessment of jail needs commissioned by the Macomb County Sheriff ’s Office brought back three main recommendations: intake and assessment, pretrial services, and creating new medical/mental health environments and services. “I’m really looking forward to the beginning of this project,” Wickersham said. “This was three years of hard work from my staff and our contracted vendor to put this together, to address what Macomb County is going to need now and into the future, and we’re very confident that when we look at this (expansion) that we’re going to have the right beds to deal with people with mental health issues.” Alongside the expansion, Macomb County Community Mental Health announced plans to keep people with mental and substance abuse issues out of jail. Plans include establishing an alternative in the form of a “24/7 engagement center,” developing a jail diversion program, working to expand mental health services to high school students, establishing partnerships with first responders and implementing crisis screening in emergency rooms. The Juvenile Justice Center is also planned to be redeveloped into a noncriminal substance abuse and mental health center. Funding increases are not announced at this time, though MCCMH CEO Dave Pankotai sees the organization having positive budgets in the next three to five years. Its funding comes from Medicaid. “We also have an additional funding stream,” Pankotai said. “We are a certified community behavioral health clinic.” The behavioral health clinic can accept patients from around Michigan. Staffing requirements for the expanded jail are unknown at this time but Hackel hopes the number will “break even,” considering the closing of current operations in the renovated part of the jail.

some renovations, so out of necessity … they put (the collection) out there so people could see it during the renovations. (Beal) loved the idea and modified it. It wasn’t just meant to be a temporary thing for renovations, but he saw it as a way to get art into interesting contexts and in front of people, and it just was really popular and stuck around.” Of course, the DIA is not taking the actual paintings off the wall or out of storage and sticking them in parks for the summer. About 120 re-creations of select pieces are spread throughout various communities and partner organizations like community college and hospital campuses, but the fact that they’re re-creations does not mean the DIA is skimping on their presentation. “We work with two local businesses to do these things,” Rapnicki said. “The first is Eric’s I’ve Been Framed Shop in Detroit on the north side. He’s a framer, and he’s a really great guy. … He gets the frames over to LaVanway Sign Company out of Southfield. They put reproductions in the frames, they install it for us, they deinstall it for us, they store it for us, so we’re really lucky to have these local companies to work with.” By placing the art out in public spaces, audiences are able to contextualize the content and develop meaning from them based on the surroundings. “There’s often really interesting opportunities for selections,” Rapnicki said. “We have a painting called ‘Fire in a Haystack’ and if we’re installing it in front of a fire station, it seems like a really obvious and impactful choice, but sometimes there isn’t that kind of obvious thing and you put something that almost seems random or totally unrelated, but even in those situations, people find the meaning in the context. The painting in a different context, to see it in a different way, maybe they notice something about it they would not otherwise.” Painting selection usually comes down to the DIA itself, which prioritizes spacing out the artworks so similar ones are not grouped together, but requests from partners are honored. “We had a couple suggestions regarding family, but they’re the ones that know which paintings, by size, would fit,” said Sue Keehn, chair of the Harrison Township Beautification Commission. “We had options to select. I kind of wanted a Van Gogh because Van Gogh was recently here.” Harrison Township is hosting Inside|Out for its second time, a phenomenon that Rapnicki says is common these days. Now turning 14, Inside|Out has visited many communities
MACOMB COUNTY Harrison Township Lenox Township Shelby Township Village of New Haven Washington Township Freedom Hill County Park, Sterling Heights Henry Ford Macomb Hospital, Clinton Township Macomb Community College OAKLAND COUNTY Johnson Nature Center, Bloomfield Township Clawson Commerce Township Pleasant Ridge White Lake Oakland Community College WAYNE COUNTY Belleville San Bernardo Community, Detroit Southwest Detroit Ecorse Highland Park, Avalon Village Plymouth Wayne County Community College District around the metro area and beyond. Communities apply to have Inside|Out installations, while some partners, like each county’s community college system, annually take part. Keehn said that applying for Inside|Out was a collaborative effort between the Harrison Township Beautification Commission and the Board of Trustees, with the commission drafting the documents and the board approving a motion to apply. “(The applications) discuss the exposure (of ) your residents and visitors, where they would see these particular paintings and gatherings we might have that would be a good social area for people to see them,” Keehn said. Being 14 years into the program, it is clear to the DIA that Inside|Out has been successful at its goal of letting people experience the DIA’s art outside of the museum. Inside|Out has even become an anticipated event of its own, as Rapnicki experienced when a Bloomfield-area mother reached out to him. “She told me that her son and her made an annual tradition of on his birthday — they would go out and find an Inside|Out installation somewhere and spend time exploring,” Rapnicki said. “She said she was in Oakland County, and I told her all the communities we would be in in Oakland County. … We’re at the Johnson Nature Center this year in Bloomfield Township, and I told her that it
was shaping up to be a really special installation (of )10 pieces in this 40-acre beautiful park. I told her this would be a good place to spend a birthday, and she replied that she happened to be just a few minutes from where she lived.” As for how many people have been inspired to visit the DIA, Rapnicki said the museum has not tracked that information but is including a reminder on Inside|Out displays that Wayne, Oakland and Macomb County residents can visit the DIA for free. “Our strongest asset is this incredible collection of genuine artifacts and artworks,
but that’s not the goal of this program,” Rapnicki said. “This is to bring art to people who might not have the opportunity to come to the museum. We’re reaching out to the furthest stretches or the tri-county area with this program. In some cases, it’s an hour away from the museum, so this might be the only chance they have to engage, and we want it to be an enjoyable experience.” Inside|Out pieces will be on display around the metro Detroit area from May until late October. Information about where to find Inside|Out installations can be found at dia.org/insideout.

MACOMB COUNTY — In an effort to further provide opportunities to students who want to earn associate degrees, Macomb Community College has launched Macomb Tuition Advantage. Macomb Tuition Advantage, effective immediately, will provide free tuition to Macomb students with a combined family income of $70,000 or less. The program is open to students already enrolled in the college or for those who plan to start in the fall of 2023 and are pursuing an associate degree program. “We’ve been working on this for the last several months. We’re always looking for opportunities to provide additional support,” Macomb President James O. Sawyer IV said. “Earning a college credential remains a key factor in sustainable employment and earnings. Macomb Community College is committed to ensuring the transformative power of education is within the financial reach of all, regardless of year of high school graduation, previous attempts at attending college or current residency.” The Macomb Tuition Advantage program is open to anyone attending or interested in attending the college. Students do not have to be a Macomb County resident to apply. “This is not a loan,” Sawyer said. “It’s similar to a scholarship.” According to a Macomb press release, the median income in Macomb County is $67,828. To be eligible for Macomb Tuition Advantage, an individual’s annual family income must be $70,000 or less with assets of $50,000 or less; be registered or register at Macomb; and have completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Any federal and state grants the student is eligible for will be applied first, with Macomb’s program covering the remainder of tuition and fees owed. Students enrolled in the Macomb Tuition Advantage program must be enrolled full-time, which is a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester, and maintain a 2.0 grade point average. The program is renewable for up to three academic years. Assets of $50,000 or less, based on the FAFSA, are considered the following: total cash balance in checking and savings, net worth of investments that does not include the primary home, and a net worth of any business or farm. In many cases, college officials predict
many of the Macomb Tuition Advantage students will be those who are already pursuing associate degrees through two state tuitionfree programs, Futures for Frontliners and Michigan Reconnect. “The college will cover the balance. We have seen programs that take tuition and fees out of the equation for prospective students, such as Michigan Reconnect, are a real game changer for many members of our community,” Sawyer said. “Macomb Tuition Advantage is building on this proven approach and taking it a step further by broadening access to critical financial support to those who need it,” he continued. “The program supports the college’s commitment to fostering student success and degree completion, providing the financial means so students can focus on steady progress through their program, and encourages a college-going culture to support the long-term vitality and prosperity of our community.” As per the press release, the state also has introduced a new program for 2023 high school graduates known as the Michigan Achievement Scholarship. It will provide up to $2,750 annually for students to attend a community college beginning in the fall of 2023. The funding for the Macomb Tuition Advantage will be provided by the Macomb Community College Foundation. The Foundation, established in 1999, is a nonprofit organization that manages monetary contributions from individuals, foundations and corporations to benefit the college. The foundation raises money for educational scholarships for Macomb students. Contributions are deductible on federal tax returns and are eligible for State of Michigan tax credits. Donors are asked to consult their tax advisors for further information. Sawyer stressed that funding for the Macomb Tuition Advantage will come from “a different pool of money” than that which is used for the scholarships. “A lot of the scholarships are endowments,” Sawyer said. “This will not displace the other scholarships.” For more information on the Macomb Tuition Advantage or to apply, visit macomb. edu and scroll down to the “Macomb News” headline. From there, click on the “Macomb Community College launches tuition-free program” heading and scroll to the end of the new release for the link to apply.

Army Corps of Engineers study of the algae in hopes of finding its causes and how to eradicate it from the lake. “I was able to be on the boat with the Army Corps, and it was wonderful speaking with them one-on-one,” Zinner said. Having been around and having spoken with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers personnel, Zinner was able to talk about some new information gleaned from her outing. She learned Lyngbya comes from “little green balls” found underneath the water surface. Around those balls are silver-colored filaments. With the study taking place over two years, Zinner relayed to the board that research personnel would like to examine the lake during its four seasons. Township Supervisor Ken Verkest attended a meeting with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and stated he “(felt) really good” about the Lyngbya study after attending. “We did learn … that they did have a successful treatment program on an inland lake in Alabama,” Verkest said. “I learned that … there are different strains. They look at different things and say (if ) this is a southern one or if this is from different parts of our country. This filamentous alga has been found in Minnesota, it’s been found in Lake Winnipeg, it’s been found in the St. Lawrence Seaway and it is an issue in southern states.” Verkest said he believes the angle the research team is taking involves determining if Lyngbya is invasive and if zebra mussels affect it. Herbicidal treatments are also being discussed.

Market Street parking lot and will encompass the whole of Pine Street and the east side of North Main Street. The inclusion of parking lots allows social district rules to cover outdoor events taking place in the lots. While some hesitance to include lots was expressed by City Commissioner Erik Rick, the lack of any other communities with fluctuating boundaries and the lack of significant incidents tied to the district gave the commission confidence to expand. “We were very hesitant about parking lots from the beginning as well,” Mayor Laura Kropp said. “That’s why they weren’t in the first round, because that was our hesitation as well. But because we didn’t see (issues) and don’t anticipate that, we would like to have that opportunity to offer that when we do have events.” The Oasis’ operating hours were also approved to change, allowing social district rules to go into effect every day from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., instead of its current schedule of noon to 10 p.m. on Thursdays and Fri-
days and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The Oasis was originally made in April 2021 in accordance with state rules allowing municipalities to designate select areas for permissible open drinking outdoors, giving bars and bar patrons a chance to operate and go out without posing a significant infection risk during the COVID-19 pandemic. Establishments eligible to participate include Bath City Bistro, Little Loraines, Madison’s Pub, New Age Noodles, O’Halloran’s Public House, Orleans Sports Cafe, Three Blind Mice Irish Pub and Your Mother’s. Changes to social districts are presented to the Michigan Liquor Control Commission for approval.
Water loan application
Commissioners also approved applying for a $42,052,000 Michigan Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loan to help connect the city’s water system to the Great Lakes Water Authority system. Engineering firm Fishbeck will draft the loan application and design the connection to the GLWA system. The commission’s approval is a formal step in the application process. City com-
missioners originally voted in December 2022 to pursue a loan to help build a new municipal water plant, but Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy told the city it would not award a loan for that use. The city also lacked sufficient bonding capacity to take on the project.
Artspace agreement
On May 15, commissioners approved a plan with nonprofit developer Artspace to continue negotiations on the creation of a live-work facility for artists in the city, tentatively located at the Roskopp parking lot. The exclusive negotiating rights agreement allows the city and Artspace to sort out the project’s final details and establish a site control agreement that will satisfy require-
ments for federal low-income housing tax credits development authority loan. “(The agreement) doesn’t bind us to any transaction,” said Michael Murray, attorney for the city of Mount Clemens. “We made revisions to their standard agreement, and the most significant one is … limitations on the effect of the agreement.” The plan for an artist live-work space in Mount Clemens originated with the Downtown Development Authority, which brought the idea to the Anton Art Center in 2019. Artspace was contacted later that year, and several studies performed in 2019 and 2020 were promising enough to continue the project. Artspace presented project concepts to the commission at an April 17, 2023, work session.

Upset man yells at hotel
STERLING HEIGHTS — A “highly upset” man reportedly was yelling and threatening staff in a hotel lobby along Van Dyke Avenue April 23. The hotel reported that the man had reserved a room at another hotel and went to the wrong place. According to police, staff later said the man left, and police were no longer sought for help.
Ex-worker evicted from child care center
STERLING HEIGHTS — 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.
Vehicles drive recklessly in parking lot
STERLING HEIGHTS — A red Chevrolet Impala and a white Ram were recklessly driving in a parking lot along 18 Mile Road the night of April 21. The reporting person told police, with some uncertainty, that the vehicles’ occupants might have been exiting their vehicles to fight. When police arrived, they didn’t see the vehicles.
Burglary reported
ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 11:30 a.m. on April 20, a burglary report was made after an incident the same day in the 22000 block of 12 Mile Road. Upon arrival at the scene, an officer spoke to the victim, a 45-year-old man, who said his lawn equipment had been stolen sometime overnight. He said the equipment was being held in the lawn shed on his apartment complex grounds and owned by the property owner. The shed’s padlock system was reportedly pried open and damaged to where it was no longer usable. The suspect allegedly stole two Echo brand lawn tools and nothing else. The officer scanned the shed for evidence but found nothing. There were no cameras on the property. The property owner, who was out of town, was notified about the case.
Bike reported stolen
ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 4:14 p.m. on April 23, a report was made about a larceny that happened the same day at 12 Mile Road and Harper Avenue.
Dispatch advised two officers an unknown man had stolen a bicycle. After an officer checked the surrounding area, they spoke to the victim, a 33-yearold woman, at a business who said that she and her daughter were shopping when they noticed their bicycle was gone. A witness, a 42-year-old woman, said that as she was pulling into the business, she almost hit a man riding a bicycle around the side of the building. The man headed eastbound on 12 Mile toward Jefferson Avenue. Officers checked the area but no one was located.
Larceny reported
ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 9:11 a.m. on April 23, a report was made about a larceny that happened between April 22 and April 23 in the 22000 block of California Street. An officer received a report of a stolen license plate and upon arrival at the location saw a red vehicle with no license plate. The officer spoke with the victim, a 34-year-old man, who said he parked his truck in his driveway on April 22 at approximately 10 p.m. He reportedly saw that his license plate was missing on April 23 at approximately 9 a.m. The officer asked him if he was able to review his Ring camera and he said he checked and it doesn’t show anything.
Vehicle stolen from parking lot
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 9:22 a.m. April 22, officers were dispatched to an apartment complex in the area of West Utica and Ryan roads for a stolen vehicle report. Upon arrival, officers spoke to the caller, who stated that her vehicle had been stolen from the parking lot of her apartment complex overnight. The caller reportedly was positive that she had locked her car doors. The vehicle was entered into the Law Enforcement Information Network and a be-on-thelookout was issued to other police departments for the stolen vehicle.
Vehicle back window smashed
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Officers were dispatched to the 4000 block of Auburn Road for a larceny report at 6:18 a.m. April 21. Officers met the caller, who stated that he woke up to find that the rear window of his vehicle had been broken out. After the owner inspected the contents of the vehicle, he determined that nothing had been stolen out of it.
Driver reportedly admits to having too much to drink
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 2 p.m. April 22, officers were dispatched to 22 Mile and Schoenherr roads for a driver who was asleep at the wheel in a left turn lane. Officers arrived and located the vehicle in the
middle of the roadway with its engine running. Officers approached the vehicle, noticing that the driver was asleep and the vehicle was still in drive. Officers were able to wake the driver and tell him to put the car in park and to shut off the vehicle. While officers were speaking to the man, they could smell the odor of intoxicants. Officers asked him if he had anything to drink, and he reportedly replied, “Probably too much.” Officer placed the man through field sobriety tests. After completing the field sobriety tests, the man was offered a preliminary breath test. He agreed to take the PBT, with the results being 0.226% blood alcohol content. He was placed under arrest for operating while intoxicated.
Customer steals 4 bottles of alcohol
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Police officers were dispatched to Costco, 45460 Market St., for a retail fraud complaint at 3:38 p.m. April 21. Upon arrival, officers spoke with an employee, who stated that while reviewing video, she observed a male customer a few days earlier enter the store through the exit doors and go straight to the liquor aisle. The suspect then selected two bottles of cognac, concealed both bottles in his jacket pocket and exited the store. The suspect then reentered the store a short time later and stole two more bottles of liquor. The detective bureau was investigating and attempting to identify the suspect.
Police respond to customer trouble
GROSSE POINTE FARMS — Police were called to a restaurant in the 18000 block of Mack Avenue at around 1:53 p.m. April 19 regarding an angry customer who was reportedly armed with a gun and causing a disturbance. The customer, a 38-year-old Roseville man, was said by restaurant staff to have told them he was going out to his vehicle to get his gun because he was upset about the wait time and getting a cold hamburger. Police said the customer was frisked and found to not have any weapons on him, so he was told to leave the restaurant and not return. During the process of investigating this incident, police said they spoke with a 41-year-old Detroit man who had witnessed a verbal argument between the customer and a restaurant staff member. The Detroit man was found to be wanted on an outstanding felony warrant out of 37th District Court in Warren for fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct. The Detroit man was arrested on the warrant.
Man found sleeping in home under construction
GROSSE POINTE FARMS — A 45-year-old Detroit
man was arrested after he reportedly was found sleeping May 3 inside a home in the 300 block of Lake Shore Road that was under construction. A contractor called police after arriving at the home to work on the property and found the suspect sleeping on the floor in a room on the third floor. Police said they found and confiscated a wooden mallet that was lying next to the suspect. According to a police report, the suspect claimed to be the president of the United States, an Olympic athlete and a Michigan State trooper. The suspect is said to have resisted police when they arrived to arrest him. Later, inside a jail cell, the suspect is said to have slammed his body and fists against the cell door, leading police to transport him to a nearby hospital because the suspect was deemed to be a safety concern to himself and needed to have a psychological evaluation. The suspect was arrested for entry without permission and interfering with a police officer.
Suspect gets away with Apple watches
GROSSE POINTE PARK — Police said an unknown suspect stole a package containing two Apple watches — valued at $250 apiece — from a FedEx delivery dropped off on the front porch of a home in the 1100 block of Balfour Road at around 12:47 p.m. May 4. A witness saw a suspect get out of a blue Dodge Dart, take the package and flee northbound in the vehicle.
Squatters arrested for trespassing
GROSSE POINTE PARK — Police were called to a home in the 700 block of Grand Marais Street at around 11:41 a.m. May 5 after contractors working at the house discovered three individuals who were apparently squatting there. The three suspects — a 21-year-old Detroit woman, a 21-year-old Detroit man and a 17-year-old from Detroit — were said to have been arrested and charged with trespassing. Police said the suspects did “minimal damage” to the home in order to gain entry. Grosse Pointe City public safety officers and detectives are said to have assisted their counterparts in the Park on this incident.
Check fraud suspect sought
GROSSE POINTE CITY — An unknown suspect is being sought by police after he was accused of having deposited a fraudulent check for $22,567 into an account at the Comerica Bank in Grosse Pointe City at around noon May 2. According to a police report, the suspect has deposited numerous checks into multiple accounts at different locations and then tried to withdraw the money before the bank discovered that the checks were fraudulent. The suspect is said by police to have deposited more than $100,000 worth of checks.
