Shores opens new Blossom Heath Pier The new Blossom Heath Pier officially opened to the public on Saturday, May 6. It was a bright, sunny day with many people in attendance for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, including dignitaries, the mayor and City Council members, members of the Tax Increment Finance Authority board,
and city staff. The Lake Shore High School Jazz Band provided music for the opening ceremony, which began with Mayor Kip Walby welcoming the crowd to the new pier. Walby then thanked the band for its music, introduced the dignitaries in attendance and recognized those who weren’t able to attend. He also thanked the staff of the city who helped make the pier happen. “This is a combination of people work-
ing together,” Walby said. “There’s an old saying: Many hands makes light work and this is living proof of that. We’ve had many hands make this project happen.” Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel and TIFA Chairman Richard Widgren spoke at the pier opening, saying how the idea of the pier came to be and what they thought about the new pier.

When they arrived, they located the woman, who had been stabbed and whose throat had been cut, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office. The victim has been identified as 60-year-old Cheryl Ryan-Parsley. A Gofundme page has been set up to help her family with funeral arrangements. At press time, it had reached $5,425. “She was loved by so many and died in such a sad and senseless manner,” the fund-

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.
MACOMB COUNTY — Macomb County officials have announced plans for a new $228 million central intake and assessment center at the Macomb County Jail that will address the need for inmate mental health assessments. “For individuals in crisis who lack support services, jail can sometimes be a first point of contact with medical professionals, and so it’s essential that they receive the proper care and support,” Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel said at a press conference at the Macomb County Communications and Technology Center on May 11. “We are responsible for being a voice for people with mental health issues in our jails, and it’s crucial that we work to improve services to prevent individuals from being placed in a system that is not currently equipped to deal with these concerns. 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 cen-
ter, 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 See JAIL on page 22A

ake Shore High School is celebrating its 100th graduating class, starting with their graduation on June 3, along with festivities and special guests. According to a Facebook post made by the school district, students in the community who wanted to attend high school had to travel to Mount Clemens, Detroit or somewhere farther. “The need for that ended at the school board meeting on July 14, 1919, when approval was given for the start of secondary education in this district,” the post from Lake Shore Public Schools said. “That September, ‘junior high’ began being offered in the Lake

‘They’re unbelievable leaders’ Lake Shore claims MAC Gold title behind senior core BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com
It was a completely different atmosphere just a year ago for St. Clair Shores Lake Shore girls soccer. Senior midfielders Samantha Dietz and Maddie Kler were sidelined for their junior season due to ACL injuries, Lake Shore was sporting a 7-11 record, and a handful of seniors were set to graduate, leaving questions as to where the team would stand in 2023. There were high expectations in 2022 after a district-winning season just a year prior, and the 2023 senior class who helped lead the squad to a district title wasn’t going to end their high school career on a negative note.

It was a down year for St. Clair Shores Lakeview baseball in 2022, there’s no debating that. While holding a 14-13 regular season record and finishing fourth in the Macomb Area Conference Blue after moving up from the MAC Gold, a 9-2 first-round loss to the wouldbe state runner ups, Grosse Pointe North, left a bad taste on the 2022 season. “Last year was rough, but this year, there’s been great leadership from both the seniors and the juniors,” Lakeview coach Scott Kuhle said. “They’ve been great showing up to winter workouts and stuff like that.” The Lakeview veterans not only have the team poised for a district run with a 15-6 record this season, but also a game away from clinching the MAC Blue league title, which would be the squad’s first league title since they were MAC Gold co-champions in 2019 with Madison Heights Lamphere. Mirrored to a ’90s Atlanta Braves or 2010s San Francisco Giants that captured three World Series titles, Lakeview (15-6) has shown this year why they have one of the strongest pitching staffs in the MAC. Headlined by juniors Evan Robinson and Bryce Ong, Lakeview’s stable of arms has been a prominent part of their success throughout the season. While Robinson comes at teams with his elite-level velocity, Ong and junior Jacob
Macks are lethal with their pitch mix and speed change. Senior Lucas Kelley, a three-year varsity player, has also provided efficient innings this season as well. Robinson, who notably struck out 12-straight in a May 8 win against Marysville, said he’s focused on one thing this year on the mound that’s paid off for him. “I think I attack teams early,” Robinson said. “I come at them early and they don’t know how to speed up to my fastball, and I just attack.” To coincide with their staff, Lakeview’s offense has been hot when it needed to be this season, courtesy of seniors Easton Demeulenaere (1B), Matthew Ritter (SS), Samuel Chernisky (C), Keegan Tackett (OF), and juniors Cole Donaldson (C), Connor Loiselle (2B), Dylan Schoenherr (RF), Aiden Cholewa (CF) and Macks (3B). Demeulenaere and Chernisky are both currently committed to further their baseball careers at Lake Michigan College. Aside from impact at the plate and on the mound, there’s one component Kuhle said he had been waiting to have on the varsity level for Lakeview. “I knew coming in that the juniors, when they were freshman, had some depth, had some guys that could play and had some arms,” Kuhle said. “I was really looking forward to this season just in terms of depth. Last year, we got stuck playing guys in some positions because we didn’t have guys behind them.” See BASEBALL on page 18A

‘Progress is his middle name’
ST. CLAIR SHORES — At the St. Clair Shores City Council meeting on May 15, a proclamation was made celebrating the 65th Blessing of the Fleet. Mayor Kip Walby read the proclamation recognizing the annual blessing and allowed Glen Rossini, commodore of Jefferson Yacht Club, to say a few words. He stood with his wife, Darla Rossini, the fleet captain. He said after commencements at the blessing of the fleet are completed, a Macomb County Sheriff’s boat goes into the lake with a flowered wreath as an indication of a very safe boating season. “We thank you, everybody, for your attendance, and you certainly are welcome to come to this,” Rossini said. The event starts at 10 a.m. on June 3 at the Watermark Bar and Grille.
CITY COUNCIL APPROVES DOG BREEDING ORDINANCE
ST. CLAIR SHORES — The St. Clair Shores City Council approved the dog breeding ordinance in a 6-0 vote at the City Council meeting on May 15. Councilman and Mayor Pro Tem Chris Vitale was excused for this meeting. The approved ordinance, according to the Planning Commission’s minutes, requires breeders in St. Clair Shores to register with Macomb County Animal Control and go through routine veterinary care. It also sets an age limit for breeding at 12 years and states that a female dog can have no more than six litters in its lifetime. The ordinance was reportedly written in response to overbreeding seen by the Animal Care and Welfare Committee and others. Signs advertising “puppies for sale” were also reportedly seen in the city, with no way for animal control to intervene, according to the commission’s minutes.

Mayor proclaims 65th Blessing of the Fleet
ST. CLAIR SHORES — At the St. Clair Shores City Council meeting on May 15, a proclamation was made celebrating the 70th St. Clair Shores Memorial Day Parade. Mayor Kip Walby read the proclamation and allowed Dave Ellis, St. Clair Shores Memorial Day Parade Committee chair, to say a few words. Ellis said he’s very excited to be putting the parade on and they have a wonderful patriotic community. He also confirmed that the parade’s two special guests this year are from Los Angeles, as well as the movie they were in. “The other thing you’re going to see, we’re going to take you ‘Back to the Future,’” Ellis said. On the St. Clair Shores Memorial Day Parade Facebook page, a post announced the two guests are Claudia Wells, who played Jennifer Parker (Marty McFly’s girlfriend) in the first movie, and Donald Fullilove, who played Mayor Goldie Wilson. (Remember, “Progress is his middle name!”) They also announced on the Trader Todd’s Marina Facebook page that Donald “Ogre” Gibb, who played Ogre in “Revenge of the Nerds,” will be attending the parade. World War II veteran Robert Haffner, the parade grand marshal, and Eva Rodriguez, the Veteran of the Year, were at the meeting. Ellis acknowledged the whole parade committee who made the parade possible and others, including spouses of the committee members, who helped out. Jefferson Avenue will close at 11:30 a.m. on May 28 for the parade and will stay closed until the parade’s end.

Lawmakers break ground on new Selfridge hangar
HARRISON TOWNSHIP — A new hangar at Selfridge Air National Guard Base aims to futureproof the base by creating a fighter jet maintenance facility. Turning two hangars into a single 41,900 square-foot facility, maintenance activities will take place on the main floor while an upper floor will house office space and classrooms. The facility will cost $28 million. “This new hangar will create hundreds of good-paying jobs and shore up Selfridge’s military readiness,” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said at a groundbreaking ceremony for the hangar. “We have been working with bipartisan and private sector partners to make more investments in Selfridge by making critical infrastructure upgrades, and we will keep fighting to bring home a new fighter mission. Selfridge is an anchor of Macomb County and an economic driver for Michigan’s defense industry. Let’s keep working together for Selfridge.” Selfridge is no stranger to fighter operations, having housed F-16 fighter jets in the past. The base was recently passed over as the potential home for an F-35 and F-16 training school. Selfridge and its supporters have been investing in the base to make it a potential site for a future fighter mission as the U.S. Air Force retires the A-10 Warthog attack jets currently stationed at the base. Selfridge also has KC-135 in-flight refueling missions and missions for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Border Patrol. “We are grateful to Gov. Whitmer, Senator Peters and our federal and state delegation for their leadership and for working with us to continue to invest in Selfridge Air National Guard Base,” said U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul D. Rogers, adjutant general and director of the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. “This investment clearly demonstrates Michigan’s commitment to SANG, its support for developing future capabilities and advancing innovation, and delivering on our mission to maintain our military readiness and support our national defense.” Politicians in attendance included Whitmer, Senators Gary Peters and Debbie Stabenow, Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel and U.S. Representatives John James, Hillary Scholten and Shri Thanedar.

ST. CLAIR SHORES — The St. Clair Shores City Council also approved the use of Official Towing for city services in a 6-0 vote at the meeting on May 15. St. Clair Shores Police Chief Jason Allen and Sgt. Heather Campbell presented, recommending to council that the city use Official Towing after the contract went out for bid a second time. Allen said that, last time, there was concern with some of the language in the bid and that the paperwork had been reworked before it went out to bid again. Campbell said they received six sealed bids, but only two included all of the required elements from the bid specifications. Those two were Official Towing and Maxx Towing. After testing the drive time, Maxx Towing ranged anywhere from eight minutes to about 19 minutes. The police department has a 20-minute time limit, Campbell said, which raises a bit of concern for them. Campbell said she’s worked with Maxx Towing before on private property impounds and that they’ve been great to work with. Due to the response time, however, she still said she’d recommend Official Towing. Campbell said she’s dealt with impounds in every way and Official has always been great. She also said every other department she contacted about towing companies asked her why they wanted to leave if they’re happy with their services. “Like I said, I’m sure all six of these tow companies would do a phenomenal job with what we need them to do, but again, I’m going to recommend that we remain with Official Towing at this time,” Campbell said.

Princess performers make memories for kids, themselves BY ALYSSA OCHSS
aochss@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT— Kids are not the only people who find joy in seeing a princess at their party. The cast members who perform as these princesses love the kids and their bright, smiling faces. Sofia Kirkman, owner and founder of Part of Your World Princess Co. LLC, said her passion and interest in starting a princess company came when she performed as Ariel in a production of “The Little Mermaid.” “It was so fun and so exciting, and then watching the kids after the show come up to me and believe that they were meeting this character and how excited they were,” Kirkman said. “That kind of is what prompted me to start this company.” Mia Mattaliano and Teresa Roman, two cast members, have also performed in theater productions. Roman has been a local princess for 17 years and performed in productions in high school and college, such as “Charlotte’s Web” and “Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse.” “I came home for the summer, and I decided that my whole world was going to be
princesses from now on,” Roman said. “I really, really do enjoy performing for children over adult audiences. They’re so lovely.” Mattaliano and Kirkman have known each other since middle school, and when Mattaliano heard Kirkman was starting a princess company, she was all for it. “I’ve been doing it for about two, three years now with her, and it’s truly a light in my life, especially because I’m not going into performing, so it’s a way to keep that in my life,” Mattaliano said. Kirkman said their main goal is to bring joy to kids. She recalled the first time she went to Disney and met the princesses there. It was such a memorable experience, one she still thinks about to this day, and she’s happy to bring a little part of that magic to kids in Michigan. “I think it’s so special that we get to do that in our hometown,” Kirkman said. Kirkman’s mother makes some of the costumes for the princesses and does alterations when the costumes are bought. They support small businesses in the area, such as Etsy shops, Kirkman said, and her mother makes accessories, including tiaras and winter caplets.

Shore school house.” From 1920 to 1923, they added the upper grades, ninth through 12th, and in 1924, the first graduating class had three students: T. Jay Barton, Nelda Egle and Clifford Frazo. The graduation ceremony was held on June 26, 1924. Janelle Bross, principal of Lake Shore High School, listed in an email a number of special things they are adding to the upcoming graduation. This includes graduates all wearing the same robes — red with a white arm stripe — and allowing students to invite their “Lake Shore VIP.” “This VIP is a staff member that had the biggest positive impact on their education experience,” Bross said in the email. “The VIPs will be seated on the field in a reserved area so they can hug, high five, fist bump or politely wave at their beloved students.” At the recent St. Clair Shores City Council meeting on May 15, Bross was there with a representative from AMS displays to approve a fireworks display for the graduation ceremony. It will be held at the high school in the football stadium. Council
approved the fireworks display 6-0. Councilman Chris Vitale was excused. Bross also said they’ve been sending out invitations for two years for the keynote speaker and dreaming about what this event could be. They were able to get a member of congress to speak to the 2023 graduating class. “We’re very excited to announce that our U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow will be our keynote speaker for this event,” Bross said. Bross said in the email and at the meeting that 50-year alumni and businessperson Michael Agnello will speak at the ceremony, as well as a current fifth grader who will speak about the future of Lake Shore. “Some new traditions, old traditions, we’re very excited to show off some new things that we have this year,” Bross said. Superintendent Joseph DiPonio said it’s a unique period in time to be celebrating the 100th graduating class. “It’s just humbling to be in this role at this particular time,” DiPonio said. “We have a storied history at Lake Shore, and we represent a lot of people that came before us.” He said this celebration isn’t just for the class of 2023; it’s a celebration of all graduates from Lake Shore High School. “This moment belongs to all of Lake Shore,” DiPonio said.

“It’s another incredible asset that creates an opportunity for a destination here, not just St. Clair Shores, but for the entire county of Macomb,” Hackel said. Community Development and Inspections Director Denise Pike said the city is very happy with how the pier turned out. “We’re over the moon because it is beau-
tiful,” Pike said. “It has been a long time coming but the community will absolutely enjoy it.” Pike said the pier is a $10 million project, paid for largely by TIFA, with some American Rescue Plan Act funds. “It was not an expense to the community, but it is absolutely something for the en-
tire community and the region to enjoy,” Pike said. The general public is allowed on the pier, but they have to park outside the guard gate, whereas residents will be allowed to park near the pier. Call Staff Writer Alyssa Ochss at (586) 498-1103.

emony ended with the cutting of the ribbon, allowing people to walk the new pier. Councilman John Caron said he is extremely happy with how the pier turned out. “We had a lot of input throughout the whole process starting from the original design and in terms of some of the final touches that got put in place, but (I am) extremely happy with how everything turned out,” Caron said. Councilwoman Candice Rusie is also pleased with the pier. “Oh, it’s fantastic,” Rusie said. “It’s been a long time coming, and this is such an asset to our community, to the residents, to the city and, actually, to the region, so this is really nice to see the results of all the work we put in and everyone has put in.” Macomb County Commissioner Barbara Zinner said the pier is beautiful, it’s wonderfully built and it’s a wonderful thing for the people to enjoy. “To be able to come this far out to the water, and it’s going to hold so many people, and it’s just gorgeous,” Zinner said. Hackel said the pier gives people who don’t have access to a boat an opportunity to have access to Lake St. Clair.

MCC launches tuition-free program for qualifying students 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 tuition-free 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.

hen 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. While they are still planning summer programming, Tizedes said there will be

Humanitarian efforts are the “foundation” of Community Choice Credit Union
Community Choice Credit Union and its charitable arm Community Choice Foundation are committed to support the communities where its members and team members live, work and play. Headquartered in Farmington Hills with 24 member centers throughout Michigan, the credit union promotes a “Give Big” culture, with team members having contributed nearly 10,000 combined charity hours in 2022.

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.
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.

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.

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 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.”
Championing Foster Kids: This Month’s Mission of Hope As “Foster Care Awareness Month,” May is a time to shine a light on the thousands of children in the foster care system across the state. Champ Life is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of children who have faced abuse, abandonment, neglect, or are considered atrisk or in foster care. The organization is celebrating its 20th anniversary of providing hope and healing to local children through impactful camps and clubs, including a weekly Kids Club in Clinton Township that hosts 50 to 80 children every Monday — with games, prizes, music, candy, snacks and fun faith lessons — and a free camp for foster kids each summer. “These are our children and our communities; how can we just stand by without stepping in to make a difference?” said board member and activist Nathan Mayes, whose heartfelt mission is to encourage others to acknowledge and support this vulnerable segment of society. “We hope to touch these kids’ hearts, help with healing and allow them to make good memories because a lot of these children don’t know their worth as human beings — or the possibilities that may exist for them in the future,” Mayes added. He emphasized that as he and the other volunteers forge stronger connections with the children, their love and compassion deepens, fueling an even greater desire to make a difference in their lives. “At first, the kids are guarded, but soon they crave love, hugs, and attention, and proudly share their drawings and crafts,” Mayes said. He recalls a girl at Kids Club wearing a hoodie and big glasses, barely visible. “I told her she was beautiful, just like God who made her in his image. Moments like these fill my heart with purpose and joy.” The organization also orchestrates annual bike and gaming system giveaways, distributes backpacks during back-toschool season and arranges festive Christmas parties for
the children. Additionally, their volunteers carry out home visits to determine and cater to specific needs within local households. In this milestone anniversary year, Champ Life is seeking donations to sustain their ongoing mission. With a goal of raising $200,000, they aim to secure the future of their potentially life-altering programs, especially the upcoming free summer camp for foster kids aged 7 to 11, scheduled for August 7-11, 2023. “Our volunteers are actively out in the community looking for children who would want to come to camp,” Mayes added. With about 100 kids and 100 volunteers, the camp ensures personalized attention in a loving atmosphere. Set by a lake, it offers activities like horseback riding, swimming, kayaking, water games, campfires and birthday celebrations for those who have never experienced them before. Each child at the camp is paired with a devoted buddy, and together they engage in morning exercises, share familystyle meals, and learn vital life skills. With intimate mealtime gatherings of 10-12 people, the connections made are truly priceless, Mayes said. “After a memorable week last year, we’ve expanded to accommodate more kids,” he continued. “It’s heartwarming to hear these kids express how wonderful it is to be at camp, surrounded by love and care and without worry for the first time in their lives.” Children often arrive without essentials like toothbrushes or underwear, and Champ Life not only ensures they’re provided for but also gives them a sense of security and normalcy. Champ Life is located at 31700 Couchez St. in Saint Clair Shores. If you’d like to make a difference in a child’s life (or donate), call (586) 791-3590 or visit mychamplife.com.

Having no sophomores on the squad, except for possible late-season call ups, Lakeview’s eight seniors and slew of juniors are eager to start the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 1 state tournament, and they’re far too familiar with their district opponents. It’s been either Grosse Pointe North or Grosse Pointe South as a district opponent since the 2019 season, with Lakeview besting South in 2021 before falling to North, and Lakeview
falling to North again last season. Now, it’s Lakeview’s turn once more to face South in the opening round of districts on June 3 at 10 a.m. at Grosse Pointe North. The winner will face the winner of Grosse Pointe North vs. Harper Woods. Regardless of the opponent in front of them, this is a new Lakeview team with a new set of standards and expectations. “We’re very under the radar,” Robinson said. “I don’t think people know about how we work and how we come to practice every day and our coach gets us going, and he’s just a leader for us.”
Notice of a Public Hearing on the Proposed Budget for the 2023-2024 School Year A Public Hearing shall be held on June 21, 2023, at a Regular Meeting of the Board of Education beginning at 6 p.m., Eastern Daylight Savings time, at the South Lake Administration Building, 23101 Stadium Blvd., St. Clair Shores, Michigan, for the purpose of receiving testimony and discussing the proposed 2023-2024 budget.

Behind the return of Dietz and Kler (team captain) and seniors Lindsay Jacob (goalkeeper), Emma Fries (midfielder/forward), Carlie Chamberlain (defender), and Shirley Garcia Carabello (defender), Lake Shore (11-2-1) has been dominating the competition this season. Dietz, Kler, Jacobs, Chamberlain and Fries all have four years of varsity experience on their resume, and now they’re leading the charge to another district championship. “I would consider it one of the biggest reasons for our success,” Lake Shore coach Chris Gwozdz said. “They’re unbelievable leaders, all five of them. They’ve been part of the program all four years and they know what it takes. It’s a big reason why we’ve been so successful.” While eyeing the state tournament, Lake Shore impressively took care of business in the Macomb Area Conference Gold division, holding an unbeaten 6-0 divisional record en route to a league title. Jacob, a team captain, holds eight shutouts this season in net while Carabello, Chamberlain, junior Emma Lucido, sophomore Maris Rutledge, sophomore Ellie Mo-
rell and freshman Bella Salkowski lead the defensive effort. Lake Shore has allowed less than a goal per game this season and two or more goals in only one game. Offensively, a healthy Dietz and Kler were exactly what the Lake Shore offensive unit needed, but it took some adjusting for the veterans to transition back onto the field. “Coming into the season, it was really rough in the beginning,” Kler said. “When it’s cold out, you get really stiff and it’s hard to move, but I’ve gained a lot more confidence. Being in this team too really helps. They’re really helpful, supportive, and encouraging.” Alongside the senior duo, Fries, junior midfielder Josephine Gore, junior midfielder Ava Mechlowitz, sophomore forward Megan Morell, and sophomore midfielder Lillian McParland lead a Lake Shore offense that averages just under five goals per game. If the seniors’ impact hasn’t been enough on the field, their leadership off the field has shined as Lake Shore’s freshmen have become immediate impact players. The growth of freshmen Carly Best (midfielder), Charley McIntyre (midfielder/ forward), Lillian Wallace (midfielder) and Scarlett Robertson (midfielder/defender) has caught the attention of the seniors. “I think it’s really impressive seeing how well they’re doing and how hard they’re work-

With two games before their opening state tournament game against Warren Fitzgerald (2-12) on May 24 at Lake Shore High School, Lake Shore has yet to lose a
game since their March 29 matchup against St. Clair Shores Lakeview Between their mix of experienced veterans and young talent, there’s unmeasurable potential for the MAC Gold champions. “A lot of these girls have been playing the game for a very long time,” Gwozdz said. “They’re very experienced and they know what it takes.”

CRIME WATCH Robbery reported on Harper
At 8:43 a.m. on May 14, a report was made of a robbery that happened the same day in the 21000 block of Harper Avenue. Six officers and a sergeant responded to the scene. Upon arrival, an officer spoke with one of the clerks, a 64-year-old woman, who said a man wearing a black ski mask and a black coat took over $500. She said the man entered the business with his hand in his coat pointing what she believed to be a gun at a clerk. The suspect did not say he had a gun. The suspect said he needed money and started to open the registers and take all the money. The suspect then went northbound on Harper Avenue. Officers secured the parking lot with caution tape and waited for a K-9 unit to arrive. The unit was from Warren and the officer called more St. Clair Officers to assist with the track. The officer was able to view camera footage. The suspect was reportedly seen entering the business, opening most of the cash drawers, taking the bills, calmly leaving the premises and heading northbound on Harper. On camera, the officer observed a four-door vehicle parked facing the east side of Harper. The vehicle arrived shortly before the robbery and left shortly after. It was unknown if it was involved. Other officers received calls and were approached regarding the incident from multiple people. Another officer was able to collect possible evidence from the scene. Other businesses were also able to provide video.
Suspected counterfeit bill passed on Greater Mack
At 6:37 p.m. on May 4, a report was made of alleged fraud on the same day in the 22000 block of Greater Mack Avenue, involving an alleged counterfeit bill. Upon arrival, an officer made contact with the manager, a 57-year-old woman, who was on a video call with her staff. She said that two
male subjects arrived in a black vehicle just before the call. One of them could be seen passing a counterfeit $20 bill to make a $12 purchase for a sweatshirt. The staff said the two suspects have attempted to pass fake bills multiple times at the store, but the staff had stopped them before today. The staff turned over the two suspected counterfeit bills; the first one was a clear fake, and the second was a more sophisticated bill with a brown mark on it. The first was said to be caught by staff at a previous date and no purchases were made with it. The second was used to buy the sweatshirt. The vehicle used was registered to a 29-year-old man who matched the description of one of the subjects. The second suspect who passed the counterfeit bill is still unknown at this time.
Woman reports fraud
At 9:55 a.m. on May 3, a report was made about a fraud case that occurred on the same day on the 21000 block of Trombly Street. Upon arrival, an officer spoke to the victim, a 61-year-old woman, who stated she was on the app “Telegram” and came across an account that portrayed the model/actor Kevin Crekman. She said she messaged the account to do a “meet and greet” for her grandchild for Christmas. The account then told her to withdraw $1,000 and send it via MoneyGram to a certain name and address. On April 28th, the victim completed the transaction through a MoneyGram machine. She sent the money and after the money had cleared the $1,000 cash, the account blocked her number. She said she tried to be patient, but soon realized she’d been scammed. The victim reportedly said she’d been in contact with MoneyGram’s fraud department and they are looking into the fraud and working on a refund for her. She also provided the receipt for the transfer. — Alyssa Ochss

raising page states. The fundraiser also states that RyanParsley had suffered from poor health earlier in the year. “Cheryl was her husband’s whole world, and now he and her children are lost,” the fundraising page reads. After the attack on Ryan-Parsley, the suspect, identified by the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office as 31-year-old Shane Burns, allegedly drove to St. Clair Shores and committed another attack roughly 15 minutes after the attack on Ryan-Parsley. “There was a 43-year-old male St. Clair Shores resident who was at a bus stop on Harper south of 12 Mile who was approached by a stranger and stabbed several times,” St. Clair Shores Police Chief Jason Allen said. The victim in the St. Clair Shores incident has been identified as Robert Baecke. A Gofundme page was created by his employers, The Pool Guys LLC, to assist with his medical bills. At press time, it had reached $12,475 of its $30,000 goal. “Robert, the hardest working man in our company, has always gone above and beyond, even without a vehicle,” the fundraising page reads. The page states that Baecke was stabbed eight times. Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said May 19 that Baecke was out of the hospital and recovering at home. Lucido said he believed the incidents to be random. “This is pretty devastating, but it’s also horrific to just go up to somebody filling their tire up and start stabbing them, killing them. And then it’s even more horrific to get in the car, go down the street and start doing it again,” Lucido said. “Again, this was very brutal. I can’t make any sense of it and neither can anyone else at this time,” Lucido said. After responding to the Belle Tire and investigating, Roseville police released a surveillance photo of the suspect and pho-
tos of his vehicle, a Chevrolet HHR. They said the suspect was believed to be armed with a hunting knife with a 4-inch fixed blade. In response to Roseville’s be-on-thelookout bulletin, Warren police officers conducting a directed patrol in the area of Nine Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue at about noon saw a suspect matching the description from Roseville police driving a Chevy HHR. The officers stopped the vehicle at Van Dyke and Cadillac Avenue, which is a few streets south of Nine Mile. Warren police said that they arrested the suspect without incident. Roseville police detectives reportedly responded to the scene of the traffic stop, and Warren police turned over Burns and the Chevy HHR to Roseville’s custody. The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office said that a search of the HHR turned up a shotgun, a 9 mm firearm and “a large amount of ammunition.” Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer praised the “outstanding awareness” of the department’s officers. “Thanks to the quick actions of our officers, this suspect was located and taken into custody safely without incident,” Dwyer said in a prepared statement. “Our officers are always on the lookout for suspects wanted in connection to crimes in Warren and surrounding jurisdictions, particularly those involving violent crimes. The Warren Police Department is always proud to assist other agencies in locating and arresting violent crime suspects.” According to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, while Burns was at the Roseville Police Department, he began biting his wrists. “An officer ordered him to stop and a struggle ensued, where Burns was able to retrieve a knife and slit his wrist,” the Prosecutor’s Office stated in a press release. Lucido said that there was treatment given to Burns after the struggle, but Lucido did not know Burns’ current condition. He said that Burns has not made any statements to police. According to Lucido, Burns was arSee CHARGES on page 22A

more representation in their cast with transcendent casting, where traditionally white characters can be played by people of color, if requested. Their princess roster includes “The Madrigal Miracle” and “Bayou Beauty.” The company is also looking to add the live action “little mermaid” to their repertoire of characters. Kirkman said it’s important to bring that representation to the kids who need to see it most, and Roman said it’s important for the area as well. “It really does matter in this area because this is not a one-nationality-based area; it’s very inclusive here,” Roman said. Roman said one of her reasons for joining the profession was the leftover magic from her childhood, but she also really loves the kids. “When you are performing, that love and that, like, magic in the little kids’ eyes is really what does it for me,” Roman said. She said she’s acted in New York, on TV, in movies and other places, but nothing really compares to making a child’s dreams come true. Mattaliano said one of the reasons she became a princess was to bring the Disney experience to kids who might not get to go to one of the parks, including those who can’t travel because of disabilities or other reasons. “To be able to bring this to them in their hometown is something that is really special as well,” Mattaliano said. She said it means just as much to the performers as it does to the kids. Kirkman said using her talents to make someone’s life brighter is one of the driving forces behind what she does. She said it’s one of the most special things someone could do as a performer. “If you really care about what you do, I think there’s the potential to make lifelong memories, and that’s just irreplaceable, even as a performer,” Kirkman said.

raigned in the 39th District Court during the afternoon May 19 by visiting Judge William Crouchman. Burns faces charges of first-degree murder, assault with intent to murder, felon in possession of a firearm, felon in possession of ammunition, carrying a concealed weapon, disarming a police officer, and two counts of felony firearm. A conviction for first-degree murder carries an automatic sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. The assault with intent to murder charge can be a life felony. Crouchman set Burns’ bond at $10 million cash or surety. His probable cause hearing was scheduled for 8:30 a.m. May 31, and his preliminary examination was scheduled for 8:30 a.m. June 7. Burns did not immediately have an attorney. Lucido said the suspect had a “lengthy” criminal record in California. Lucido said the HHR was registered to a home in Washington Township, but Lucido did not know where Burns is from or what brought him to Michigan.

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 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 be-
Lucido thanked the Roseville, St. Clair Shores and Warren police departments; Warren’s special operations unit; the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office; and the Macomb Auto Theft Squad for their roles in taking Burns into custody. Information about the St. Clair Shores incident as well as the Roseville incident was passed along to the three school district superintendents in St. Clair Shores May 17, Allen said, and they decided to not let students go outside for recess or lunch breaks. It was not a full lockdown. At the request of the Roseville Police Department, Roseville Community Schools staff kept all students inside for the day May 17, including during lunch and recess, while the suspect was on the loose. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Roseville Police Department at (586) 777-6700. To donate to Ryan-Parsley’s fundraiser, visit www.gofundme.com/f/vq66wg-funeralarrangements.

Staff Writer Maria Allard contributed to this report. ginning 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.

Summer courses for young adults
MACOMB COUNTY — Michigan State University Extension (MSUE) is offering Adulting 101 classes this spring and summer. The educational programs are designed for high school students and young adults. Each class teaches important life skills and tools necessary to live independently, with different topics planned for each month taught by experienced MSU Extension Educators and 4-H volunteers. “How to Buy a Car” will be held at 4 p.m. June 8. “Sew What! Clothing Care saves Cash” will be held at 1 p.m. July 13. “Eating Healthy on a Budget” will be held at 1 p.m. Aug. 16. Register at www.canr.msu.edu/ events/adult101s23. For more information, contact Macomb County MSU Extension Educator Kathy Jamieson at jamies13@msu.edu.
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 sum-
mer’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 watershed 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.” To learn more about the programs offered by the Clinton River Watershed Council, visit crwc.org.

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.

fighters, we’re ensuring that they can continue to perform their duties to the best of their abilities, protecting our citizens and their property from harm,” Cook said. Fire Chief James Piper and Matt Sahr, president of the Michigan Professional Fire Fighters Union, also spoke. Piper said he hopes the firefighters who die from occupational cancer in the line of duty will not be viewed any differently than those who lose their lives to fire or injury. “They, too, have given their life to the fire service and a dedication to saving lives,” Piper said. “They should be memorialized and remembered in an equal way.” Sahr said the union will continue to work with Whitmer and anyone who wants to work with them. He introduced the governor. Whitmer said the things being done to help firefighters includes rolling back the retirement tax, boosting local revenue sharing by 29% and new budget recommendations, including $500 million for first responders and EMS. “As firefighters, you put your lives on the line to keep us all safe. The least we can

do is to make sure you have the equipment and resources to do your job effectively and to retire with dignity,” Whitmer said. She also talked about House Bill 4172 as a bipartisan effort that expanded the cancer presumption fund to retirees and added three additional forms of cancer. “I know that, for you, these are not just
lists of things, these are personal priorities,” Whitmer said. “It’s about the people that you’ve worked with, your brothers and sisters, firefighters that you’ve shed blood and tears with.” Whitmer then recognized firefighters such as Scott Schwabe, who is fighting lymphoma for the second time in three years,
and Shawn Golde, who recently died after a battle with cancer. “For Scott and Shawn and every firefighter working hard to serve their community, we need to continue to take action here,” Whitmer said. “We can and we will do more.” Call Staff Writer Alyssa Ochss at (586) 498-1103.

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.
