The city of Sterling Heights is seeking a broad spectrum of talent to decorate a business’s empty wall. The city is asking adult artists to share their design ideas and apply for a chance to paint a public art mural. According to the city, the mural must follow the theme of “inclusivity” as stated in the city’s Visioning 2030 vision statement and guiding principles. The artwork is expected to be painted this summer and completed by late summer or early fall, officials said. Once the artwork is completed, the city will promote the mural and add it to its digital art map. Sterling Heights Community Relations Director Melanie Davis said the mural will be painted on a wall on the side of the Zap Zone, on Van Dyke Avenue, north of Utica

Gotham said the church has scheduled and planned multiple events in 2023 to commemorate the occasion, including one June 18 to which congressional and local dignitaries are invited. The church had kicked off its celebrations with an April 23 visit by its bishop and district superintendent. “We’ve got plenty of other things coming up,” Gotham said. “We’ve got concerts and other things. Two hundred years is a lot, in terms of accomplishment, and so we felt like we need to celebrate a lot.” Gotham thanked city officials for being partners over the years, and he invited them to reach out if the city needed a partner, adding that “we’re not planning to go anywhere.” Sterling Heights Mayor Michael Taylor commented on the church’s history during the meeting, calling 200 years “an incredible accomplishment” when compared to Sterling Heights’ 2018 celebration of 50 years as a city. “The pastor was telling us that one of the founding members of the church fought in the Revolutionary War,” Taylor said. “An-

other early member of the church was instrumental in the Underground Railroad. So it’s incredible to know that we have such a rich history right here very close to home.” Sterling Heights’s proclamation says UUMC is one of the oldest churches in the state of Michigan. The church was founded in 1823 in what today is Utica, years before Michigan became a U.S. state in 1837. “The church was in a couple of different locations,” Gotham told the Sentry after the meeting. “Initially, they started out meeting in members’ barns.”
According to the church, its first church building was built in 1839, and in 1855, it was moved in pieces to where the building still stands today, in Utica on Cass Avenue. That building is currently used by Light & Life Arabic Free Methodist Church. UUMC relocated its worship to its current location — in what was then Sterling Township — in 1965. According to records, the church’s first minister was the Rev. Elias Pattee, and one of the five founding members was Revolutionary War veteran Nathaniel Squire.
Other past members include Charles Kidd and Andrew Runyan — both served during the Civil War — and Peter and Sarah Lerich, who presided over a farm safehouse that was part of the abolitionist Underground Railroad. According to Gotham, UUMC currently has around 220 members, though he said that additional constituents put the total congregation at around 300. He explained the “eye opening” impact that the anniversary has had on the congregation. He said that while the church’s history is rich, members don’t want to worship the past. “We want to take the lessons that we ourselves have learned, and those who have come before us, and carry those over into vibrant ministry in the future,” Gotham said. Sterling Heights’ proclamation says the church’s community involvement includes Sterling SHINE neighborhood cleanups, school extracurriculars, Scouting, blood drives, work with the Macomb County Rotating Emergency Shelter Team, and more.

Officials announce jail expansion focused on mental health BY DEAN VAGLIA
dvaglia@candgnews.com
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 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 counSee JAIL on page 8A

ty 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 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.

decided to apply. She said she heard back a couple of months later. “I was really floored that they gave me an opportunity,” she said. “It’s a huge opportunity, so I thought someone else might be picked.” SaintSprouts is Mattos’ collection of illustrated vinyl stickers that depict Catholic saints. The stickers are meant to be durable and weatherproof, so they can stick and stay on laptops, water bottles and more and not easily corrode if wet. Mattos said her designs are meant to appeal to kids and adults to teach them about prominent people in church history in a fun, friendly way. Examples include saints Therese of Lisieux, Francis Xavier, Josephine Bakhita, Kateri Tekakwitha and Juan Diego. Mattos said she initially started drawing the most popular, well-known saints.

“Just pursue your passion,” she said. “I think that’s what is really going to drive you. … That’s what’s going to get you moving. You’ll want to do it.” Jeanne Schabath-Lewis, from the Sterling Heights Arts Commission, commented on Mattos’ art. “It’s an unusual medium, the little stickers,” Schabath-Lewis said. “I was really

So many people think about art in the traditional sense, like portraits. … I’m definitely glad we brought this different dimension to the city.” Find out more about artist Marie Mattos by visiting mariemattos.com.

lesser-known saints from around the world, including from Asia and Africa. She said one of her favorite saints in the SaintSprouts collection is Kateri Tekakwitha, a Native American saint. “She was probably the most fun for me to make,” she said. Mattos said she has been successful in marketing and selling the SaintSprouts stickers. She explained that she has sold them on Etsy all across the U.S. She added that she also has sold them at local craft shows and some Catholic retail shops. “I initially started in downtown Detroit at Our Lady of the Rosary,” she said. “They had a little artist market over there.” Mattos was raised in metro Detroit and graduated from Michigan State University in studio art with a graphic design focus. When she’s not making stickers, she is a freelance illustrator and graphic designer. As an artist, she said she takes inspiration from diverse artistic styles, including Christian iconography, chibi-style anime and vibrant tattoo art.

FROM THE GARAGE TO THE CRUISE LANE BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — Dave Renke purchased his first car before he even had a driver’s license. Two weeks before his 16th birthday, in the spring of 1976, Renke and a few friends were riding their 10-speed bicycles in St. Clair Shores. When biking through a random parking lot, the group spotted a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air. Renke couldn’t take his eyes off the seafoam green beauty. The teenager left a written note on the windshield with his phone number, asking the owner to contact him if interested in selling the vehicle. “It was a 210 model, two-door post with a six-cylinder engine and an automatic Powerglide transmission,” Renke remembered. When he got home, the phone rang and on the other end of the line was the Bel Air owner, who made an offer to sell the car for $800. An excited Renke told his dad, who wasn’t so sure it was a good deal. “Why do you want to buy an old car like that?” he said. But Dad gave the OK for Renke to use the money he earned from his paper route to buy his first-ever set of wheels. Renke has always been a fan of the Tri-Five Chevy models, which refers to the 1955, 1956 and 1957 Chevrolet automobiles, including the Bel Air and Nomad.
“I always thought they were very cool and was glad I bought it,” he said. “If you look at the ’54 Chevy, it was more rounded. In ’55, they made a big change to the body style. In ’55, you could get more color options.” For many years, Renke’s teenage purchase sat in his parents’ Warren garage. “I didn’t start enjoying it until the late ’80s and early ’90s,” he said. “I was always saving up enough money so I could buy the next part.” Prior to that, Renke and his friends spent many nights in the garage restoring the Bel Air. “It originally had a six-cylinder, and then we put a V-8 engine in it,” Renke said. “There was more power. I found an original 265 V-8 Engine and had it rebuilt.” In the late 1980s, the Bel Air got a new look when Renke’s cousin painted it India Ivory and Gypsy Red, which remain its current colors. While many maintenance upgrades have been completed over the years, “I tried to keep the car with the original look,” he said. Renke took the Bel Air with him when he and his wife, Rosemary, moved to Sterling Heights, and it’s still with the couple, who now reside in Macomb Township. Renke’s interest in cars dates way back to the days when he and his friends would take apart their bi-

cycles. Renke eventually moved on to cars by buying and selling several different models, including a 1975 Fiat Spider, a 1969 AMC Javelin, a 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass and a 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix over the years. “He always had a different car in high school,” Rosemary recalled. According to Renke, because of his love for restoring older cars, Rosemary has “graciously” given up a parking spot in their garage for the past 30-plus years for the Bel Air. “It’s too nostalgic. It’s a part of who he is,” Rosemary said. “Cars are a part of your life.” In time, Renke’s dad had a change of heart and made Renke promise to never sell the Bel Air. “Seems he became very fond of it over the years, just as I have,” Renke said. “And I plan to keep the car and hope to pass it to someone in my family down the road.” The Renkes’ four daughters also are big fans of the Bel Air. Three of their daughters are married, and the car was on-site and photographed with each couple at all three wed-

dings. “They have fun memories of it,” Renke said. Renke often takes his ’55 Chevy to many of the local car cruises and shows, including the Woodward Dream Cruise and the Lakeside Mall Circle Cruise-In on Monday nights in Sterling Heights. One fun event is the Berkley car parade the Friday evening before the Dream Cruise on Saturday. “You can park your car at the cemetery, get out and can talk to people. You drive down 12 Mile. The crowd is cheering. You feel like a celebrity,” Renke said. “You usually get a thumbs-up or a wave. People come to you and say, ‘My dad had a car like that.’ Everyone is very friendly.” The most mileage the Bel Air gets are the drives to Port Austin for its annual Carfest. As he prepares to retire soon, Renke hopes to enjoy his vintage vehicle “even more with family and friends.”

Road. According to the city, the outdoor mural spot is 144 feet wide, 24 feet high and on painted brick. “The city has been (installing murals) as part of our public art program that is representing different identity standards from our Visioning 2030 process,” she said. “We are a community that is safe, that is progressive, that is innovative and inclusive, so we have been trying to put together murals that represent those identity goals.” Davis said that in cases of murals hosted on private property, the business owner or the property management company signs a lease agreement with the city for $1 per year for five years. Then the city commissions an artist who installs the public art mural. The final mural design will be “representative of our community” and a shared vision among the hosting business, the city, the Sterling Heights Arts Commission and the selected artist, Davis said. Davis described the importance of public art in the city’s strategy of attracting new residents and businesses.

This “Trailblazer” mural on Ventimiglia Italian Foods, along Dodge Park Road in Sterling Heights, was made possible through the city’s public art program. The mural was designed by artist Wendy Popko. “I would say the lasting impact is community engagement and development, because we know that placemaking, which public art is such a big part of, is a key reason why (people) open up shop or live in communities,” Davis added. “We’re looking forward to continuing to create a com-

munity with beautiful things, aesthetically pleasing things and places.” The Sterling Heights Arts Commission’s Jeanne Schabath-Lewis commented on what she looks forward to with the upcoming mural. She said the different parties will come together to make sure that the fi-
nal design is “copacetic to Sterling Heights” and the city’s vision statement. “It is exciting that we got this wall,” Schabath-Lewis said. “We’ve been looking for different walls. We’re just really excited, and we can’t wait to see what kind of commissions we’re going to get. It’s a huge wall. … The possibilities are endless as to what can be put on that.” Artist submissions will be accepted until 4 p.m. June 2. They must contain a onepage description of the conceptual mural, a visual representation, installation information, a resume, and up to three references.

ANNUAL 5K EVENT HELPS ‘FOSTER’ THOSE IN NEED

13650 E. 11 MILE ROAD • WARREN
STERLING HEIGHTS — Nearly 200 people put their best feet forward May 13 to raise money for the Friends of Foster Kids. The Philip S. Killoran Chapter of the National Honor Society at Sterling Heights High School held its annual 5K race and family fun run/walk to benefit the nonprofit organization. The race began on the Sterling Heights High School campus. The route then took runners and walkers across the front walk along 15 Mile Road and around the Marina/Brougham subdivision and through Thomas Chappelle Park and then back to the school campus. A total of 190 runners and walkers crossed the finish line, raising $4,735. Sterling Heights High School is part of the Warren Consolidated Schools district. The Eastside Racing Company, based in Rochester Hills, tracked the runners’ race times, and there were different categories based on age. The top winners earned medals during a ceremony on the school grounds. Runners and walkers paid an admission fee, which in turn will benefit FoFK. “It’s just a worthy cause,” said Sterling Heights High School English and public speaking teacher Jennifer Huyghe, who is also the NHS sponsor. “We’ve had a lot of good vendors. I love to see the kids helping the community. “I decided to be a part of the NHS because it’s a service organization. I have fun teaching and working with the kids. They learn about networking with the community. They learn how to lead with character. This gets them involved with different organizations,” Huyghe said. “We all just have a heart for kids and a heart for families. We want to spread awareness.” Friends of Foster Kids was founded by Theresa Toia, whose daughter was a caseworker in the state’s foster care system. Toia works with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to help foster children in southeastern Michigan who have been removed from their homes due to abuse and neglect. Some children are living in foster care facilities or foster care homes. With the help of volunteers and private donations, the Friends of Foster Kids is about “the five C’s.” Those are Christmas, care, college, careers, and the coalition of community commitment. The care component, for example, provides immediate needs for children removed from a bad situation, including shoes, coats, clothing, undergarments, pajamas and blankets. See FOSTER on page 18A

WATCH Juveniles run through mall, fight
Juveniles were reported to be running through Lakeside Mall, 14200 Lakeside Circle, the evening of May 6, and at one point, around 12 juveniles were allegedly part of a group that was fighting. According to a police report, at some point, the fighting parties had broken up. When police got there and checked out the parking lot, the juveniles were apparently gone.
Larceny reported along Van Dyke
A larceny was reported May 5 along Van Dyke Avenue, near Metropolitan Parkway. Police did not give details about what was reportedly stolen.
Confrontation happens in credit union drive-thru
A man in a black pickup truck reportedly yelled at and insulted a woman in the drive-thru the morning of May 6 at a credit union along 15 Mile Road, east of Van Dyke Avenue. Police reportedly heard that the caller had at one point swerved in front of the truck, which led the truck driver to sound
his horn and exchange words with the caller. Police took no further action.
Witness reports toddler left alone in vehicle
Police were alerted that a toddler was reportedly alone in a car seat inside a GMC Yukon in the 12000 block of Hall Road May 6. The witness said the child was alone for at least 10 minutes, and the vehicle’s windows were “cracked a bit.” The witness said a heavyset man in a green hoodie then entered the vehicle. The caller later said the child seemed OK, and police were no longer needed.

Juveniles pretend to ride bikes from Flint to Sterling
A caller told police May 6 that four juvenile bicyclists who “looked lost and excitable” by the Sterling Heights Nature Center were saying they lived in Flint and had ridden all the way to Sterling Heights. Police later learned that the juveniles were all Sterling Heights residents, and they reportedly were just fooling with the caller and thought the caller was laughing and taking it as a joke. Police took no further action. For more information about the Sterling Heights Police Department, call (586) 4462800. — Eric Czarnik

The FoFK college program provides the basics for older youths setting up independent living environments by donating small refrigerators, hygiene products, microwaves, laptop computers, laundry detergent and bath towels. Due to confidentiality reasons, the FoFK volunteers do not meet the children in person until they become adults at age 18. On race day, Troy residents and friends Dan DiGregorio and Laura Soreide were out of breath when they crossed the 5K finish line, but at the same time were “elated” and “energized.” “It’s like a runner’s high,” DiGregorio said. This was their first FoFK race. They found out about it from the Eastside Racing website. “It was fun. It’s for a good cause,” DiGregorio said. “It was nice running through the neighborhood. There was one spot that was a half-mile straight. You had to keep your mind focused.” “It was a really good course for young families because you can always see your kids,” Soreide said. “We did it to support Friends of Foster Kids.”
The pair typically participates in two races per month. “It’s always a challenge,” DiGregorio said. The FoFK event included a disc jockey, door prize drawings, food, face painting, vendors, and lawn games. Several NHS students helped keep the race going by providing water for participants. Juniors Sandra Hawil and Ujvesa Blakaj and sophomores Chloe Taylor and Dillyn Winberg were among the volunteers cheering runners on at the half-mile mark on Marian Drive. “This is my first year on the NHS,” Blakaj said. “I like the community aspect of it.” Across the street, an impromptu cheering section assembled when Anton Stephen, 10, and his cousins Annabella Eisho, 6, and Isabela Eisho, 4, saw the participants jogging by. When they found out what was happening, they began cheering everyone on by yelling, “Good job.” “My auntie was cooking outside, and we saw this marathon and thought, ‘Should we cheer for them?’ Let’s do it,” Stephen said. “You’re at the half-point. They want the medals. They’re actually trying to get some exercise.” “I clapped for them,” Annabella said. For more information about Friends of Foster Kids, visit friendsoffosterkids.org.
