SPOTLIGHT ON SENIOR LIVING STARTS ON 8A Sterling man sentenced for 2020 barber shop murder BY ERIC CZARNIK eczarnik@candgnews.com

You can’t walk on it, but residents can check out Sterling Heights’ new “trail” inside the Sterling Heights Community Center. Oak Park artist Mary Gilhuly recently combined her talents with those of Sterling Heights residents and community members in making a mosaic mural called “Share the Trail.”

A Sterling Heights man was sentenced June 7 for committing murder as well as a felony firearm crime at a Sterling Heights barber shop in 2020, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office. In Macomb County Circuit Court, Judge Edward Servitto sentenced David Kanouna, 33, to 22 1/2 to 50 years of imprisonment for second-degree murder, as well as a two-year sentence for felony firearm, the Prosecutor’s Office said. Those sentences are consecutive. Earlier this year, Kanouna pleaded guilty to those crimes. Second-degree murder can carry a penalty up to life imprisonment, while the other crime carries a mandatory two years, according to the Prosecutor’s Office. According to prosecutors, Kanouna fatally shot Sharaz Hussain June 13, 2020, at The Barber Co., located along Mound Road, near Fox Hill Drive. Records from the MiCOURT database reveal that

A Farmington Hills man is accused of killing his half-sister in Sterling Heights May 26, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office. According to a May 30 statement from the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, Zachary Holston III, 50, from Farmington Hills, had left a family business in Sterling Heights May 26 when his half-sister, her husband and her daughter met him in the parking lot. They allegedly had an argument. According to Prosecutor’s Office spokeswoman Dawn Fraylick, the incident happened in the 6000 block of 19 Mile Road. Holston A Prosecutor’s Office press release said Holston was entering his vehicle when the family members “approached the passenger door.” Then a “physical altercation” reportedly arose regarding paperwork contained in the vehicle. The Prosecutor’s Office press release said both Holston and his half-sister had guns, and “(t)hey exchanged gunfire.” This reportedly led to the half-sister being taken to the hospital and declared dead. According to the Prosecutor’s Office, Holston was

RESIDENTS ASKED TO WATER ON ALTERNATING DAYS

As in previous years, Sterling Heights is asking residents to curtail their outdoor water use from now until Labor Day by only watering on either odd or even days, according to a property address’s last digit. In other words, odd addresses are encouraged to do outside watering on odd-numbered calendar dates, and even addresses should water on even dates. Outdoor water use may include car washes, swimming pools and lawns. The city is also asking residents to curtail their outdoor watering between 5 and 9 a.m. and 6 and 9 p.m., and to irrigate lawns between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. Doing these things can help keep water rate increases under control, officials said. Learn more by calling the Department of Public Works at (586) 446-2440.

PARK, TRAIL CONSTRUCTION PLANNED

In a June 10 Facebook post, the Sterling Heights Parks and Recreation Department said it is planning some upkeep to the city’s parks and trails in the months ahead. This will include resurfacing the trail from Farmstead Park to Donovan Park, resurfacing and expanding Mark Sawyers Family Park’s trail system, and rerouting a trail at North Clinton River Park’s Nature Center Bridge. Crews also plan to rebuild the Beaver Creek Park parking lot. While these projects go on, pathways may be closed temporarily, the city warned.

Local legends, WWE superstar headline celebrity golf scramble BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — What a summer for sports in the city of Detroit. Detroit Tigers baseball is competitive once again, and there’s legitimate excitement and expectations heading into the upcoming Detroit Lions season, but the Professional Golf Association’s Rocket Mortgage Classic continues to be the topic of conversation. As the tournament makes its return to the Detroit Golf Club on June 27, the field has already drawn commitments from twotime major champion Collin Morikawa and RMC defending champion Tony Finau, but there’s no card more stacked than this year’s AREA 313 Celebrity Scramble commitments. Detroit Lions Hall of Famers Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson will return to compete in the event, alongside Dylan Larkin of the Detroit Red Wings and Michigan State basketball head coach Tom Izzo, the scramble’s defending champion. But the RMC welcomes two newcomers who will undoubtedly make their presence known. Former Michigan Wolverines star and NBA Hall of Famer Chris Webber, a Detroit native and phenom at Detroit Country Day from 1991-1993, will round out the Michigan sports connection, while WWE Superstar “The Miz” will make his course debut at the RMC. The Miz, a two-time WWE Champion, previously starred

on the popular MTV show “The Real World: Back to New York” before beginning his wrestling career in 2003. “We’re looking forward to introducing a new twist to the AREA 313 Celebrity Scramble by adding Chris Webber and The Miz to our field,” said Jason Langwell, executive director of the Rocket Mortgage Classic. “It’s always fun to see Detroit sports legends up close and personal testing their golf games alongside PGA Tour pros, and having a professional wrestler in the mix this year will make it even more entertaining.” Awarded the PGA Tour’s “Best Special Event” after debuting in 2019, the AREA 313 Celebrity Scramble will be held at 5 p.m. June 27 as part of the RMCs Detroit Community Days, which focuses on intertwining the Detroit community with professional golf. The First Tee-Greater Detroit Youth Clinic will be held at 2 p.m. on June 27 and will showcase PGA professionals and celebrity guests working with children of elementary and middle school age on golf fundamentals and skills challenges. Detroit Community Days will conclude on June 28 with the Delta Dental Pro-Am where attendees can watch PGA golfers in an up-close setting throughout the day. All Detroit Community Days events are provided with complimentary parking and admission. “We are proud to be able to offer fans complimentary admission to all the amazing events on Detroit Community Days as part of our dedication to making the Rocket Mortgage Classic accessible to everyone in our communities,” Langwell said.

CITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS WORK TO MEET OVERWHELMING DEMAND FOR SENIOR HOME/CHORE SERVICES BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Karyn Curro, the CEO of Interfaith Volunteer Services, said she first noticed the need while working with people in nursing homes over 31 years ago. “I found that a lot of people who were living in nursing homes didn’t necessarily want to be there and, with a little extra help, they could stay in their own homes for longer and perhaps forever,” said Curro. She said that some people were not in the nursing home for medical care but simply because they couldn’t take care of their daily needs at home. She said often they just needed help with daily housekeeping or transportation to appointments, or they were lonely. However, when she started researching organizations that provided these types of services, she found there were a lot of gaps and approached the Area Agency on Ag-

ing, who was in the process of launching what would become IVC. Initially, IVC was started by a fiscal grant received by Catholic Charities of Macomb in 1992. In 1994 it became an independent 501(c)3. IVC offers aid to seniors throughout Macomb county and parts of Oakland and St. Clair counties. The organization pairs seniors with volunteers to help them achieve a desired task. Curro said they are able to help hundreds of seniors a year with home chores, but she stresses that there is no guarantee that they will be able to assist with any given task. “We are an all-volunteer organization,” said Curro. “We do have some paid staff in the office who are running the program, but all services are provided by volunteers. So that limits what we can do. … Since we’re an all-volunteer program, if someone calls in for help, regardless of how much they might need that help, we can’t guarantee we can give them help. … It just depends if we have See SENIORS on page 10A

Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons: Generations of Trusted Experience The Wujek and Calcaterra families have compassionately served the needs of grieving families in southeast Michigan for over 100 years. “My late father, Edward Wujek, and his best friend and college roommate, Larry Calcaterra, formed WujekCalcaterra as a partnership in 1984 after operating their own respective family-owned funeral home businesses,” said funeral director Robert Wujek. “My great-grandfather, Anthony, launched the Wujek side of the business in 1917, and I’m the fourth generation of our family in the profession. Over the years, my dad had four sons and Larry Calcaterra had three sons. Six of the seven boys joined the family business and the name was changed at that time to Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons.” Today, Robert and his brothers John and Michael — together with Calcaterra brothers Larry, Mike and Matt— continue the legacy. “My brothers John and Michael are both licensed funeral directors like me,” Robert said. “My son, Chase, joined the company in 2020. He’s the fifth generation in the business.” There’s a level of trust that comes from working with family. “We are fortunate to each have different roles with the same goal of providing the best service and value to families at a very difficult time.”

Larry Calcaterra is the controller behind the scenes handling all business operations, accounting and IT. He oversees capital improvements to the facilities including recent updates to the Shelby location. “It’s vital to have someone like my partner Larry on our team,” Robert said. “He handles the upkeep of the facility

and keeps us up to date with software, which requires countless hours of hard work. It allows me, my brothers and my partner Mike Calcaterra to handle arrangements and spend time with grieving families. We wouldn’t be where we are today without Larry’s input and hard work.” Matt Calcaterra is another behind-the-scenes partner, ensuring that families’ loved ones look their best and that everything is as meticulous as possible.

The elder Larry Calcaterra, 82, still comes in to work every weekday to oversee operations. “In addition to our immediate family, we have a staff that is second to none — not just in years of service but by the virtue of being truly the finest men and women you could ever meet. Their daily commitment and dedication never goes unnoticed and is highly commendable. “All six of us principals are now in our 50s,” Robert continued. “We, as well as many members of our team, have been in the business for over 25 years. This has given us the opportunity to build relationships with people in the community. As a result, they believe they’re in good hands with us and that we are looking out for them. It’s rewarding to make a difference at such a delicate time in their lives and provide the place they deserve to celebrate their loved ones, honor their families and welcome their friends. We have been very blessed.” From pre-planning to aftercare services, Wujek Calcaterra & Sons is available seven days a week, 365 days a year. Every phone call is answered by a member of the team, not an answering service. Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons is located at 36900 Schoenherr Road in Sterling Heights, phone (586) 5889117; and 54880 Van Dyke Ave. in Shelby Township, phone (586) 217-3316.

a volunteer (with that skill set) in that area.” The types of services that IVC routinely provides include yard work like trimming bushes, raking leaves and pulling weeds; cleaning windows, and changing screens and storm windows out; sweeping garages; and even taking the trash to the curb. It also provides transportation to and from doctor appointments and grocery stores, as well as basic housekeeping, decluttering and organizing of rooms or closets, doing laundry, and washing dishes, along with minor home repairs such as plumbing, electrical and carpentry work, if they are small simple fixes. “Regular housekeeping is a big need, because a lot of times people can manage in their own home, but they can’t do all the chores to keep up their home safely,” said Curro of Interfaith Volunteer Services, based in Roseville. “If you start having mobility issues, it’s much more difficult to clean a bathtub or a shower and do some of the heavier cleaning in your house. I think that is a real ongoing need that a lot of people have, and to hire a cleaning service is usually incred-

STERLING HEIGHTS SENTRY • JUNE 21, 2023

ibly expensive for someone of a very limited income.” The one service that they don’t provide frequently is lawn mowing services, because of the amount of equipment necessary to do so. However, the service might be possible if the person requesting it has a working lawn mower. “We tend to describe the types of things we can do as something that you would ask a neighbor for help for. You know we don’t do anything too extensive. We don’t take on major repairs and renovations,” Curro said. “You might be comfortable having your neighbor rake your leaves for you, but you wouldn’t ask them to put a new roof on your house. It’s kind of the neighbor helping neighbor level of services that we are able to provide.” Last year the organization served close to 500 people and their families, approximately 300 of whom were in Macomb County, while 200 were in Oakland and St. Clair counties. Curro said the reason for that is simply the amount of volunteers they have available in each area. Services are not provided on a daily basis, but some services are provided once or twice a month, depending on the need. IVC does not have any income require-

ments but tends to focus its service offerings on those who would not otherwise be able to afford the help and who don’t have family to assist them. “We are really trying to get to the people that are isolated and impoverished and just really need a helping hand, largely because our volunteers are doing this just from the kindness of their own hearts, and they want to help the people in the greatest need,” said Curro. The Macomb County Office of Senior Services also offers a few programs to help seniors with chores such as seasonal yard cleanup and the Handy Helpers Program. The Handy Helper program offers light repair services such as replacing light bulbs, door locks, window catches, faucet washers and faucets. Program workers will also install screens, storm windows, window shades, curtain rods and weather stripping around doors, and caulk windows and repair furniture. Workers will provide heavy-duty cleaning of appliances, carpets and rugs. They scrub floors, wash walls, and clean interior windows that do not require a ladder to reach. They provide pest control and rodent services (except bed bugs) and install safety devices for seniors such as grip bars and bath chairs.

The Macomb County Office of Senior Services offers spring, summer and fall yard cleanup services. Volunteers rake leaves, clean flower beds, trim branches, wash exterior windows, and the like. They do not provide snow removal services and will only provide lawn mowing services on a one-time basis if there is an “urgent need.” However, some landscaping companies, such as Workhorse Services Lawncare and Landscaping, offer seniors a discount on lawn maintenance. Norm “Workhorse” Adams Sr., the owner of Workhorse Services, said seniors comprise about 80% of his business. He said that he always tries to give seniors a 10% discount on their lawn services. He offers lawn mowing, yard cleanup, small tree removal, bush and hedge trimming, etc. “It’s kind of rewarding when you are able to help people who can’t help themselves,” Adams said. One of his clients is an elderly couple; the man has cancer, and although he would like to cut the grass, he just physically can’t do it anymore. Adams said that the man will start to cut a path, and the wife will call Adams in to finish the job. “So, I really understand the problem that they go through.” See SENIORS on page 11A

Adams, 55, said he understands seniors more than most people. He has had personal experience with struggling to find someone to help his aging mother with simple things around her home and to take her to her appointments, as well as someone his mother could trust. “I pay (a caregiver) $25 an hour, but what she does is priceless, because they built a bond, and I don’t know what I would do without her,” Adams said of the woman who helps him with his mom. Adams services Oakland County residents in Southfield, Eastpointe and Oak Park. He can be reached at (313)-415-0274. To get services from the Macomb County Office of Senior Services you must be 60 or older and live in Macomb County. The services are offered free of charge, but donations/contributions are appreciated. Director Sheila Cote said there are currently only three part-time workers handling the tasks requested through the Handy Helper program. Due to the popularity of the program and limited funding, they are only able to provide a limited number of services, and

the programs are waitlisted. There are currently 150 people on the list for handyman services and 100 people desiring spring/ summer yard cleanup, which runs through the end of June. Cote said that they are doing their best to get through the entire list by the end of the month. However, those who do not get yard service this season will be put at the top of the list for fall yard cleanup. “Our mission is to support seniors so that they can age in place and stay in their homes longer. And a lot of times they just need a little extra help,” said Cote. “They need somebody to fix a few things around their house or make it more comfortable for them.” Cote said seniors are often so thankful for the volunteers who help them to maintain their homes and yards. “It makes them feel so good that their yard looks nice. It really boosts their spirits when their house is looking nice. A lot of seniors worry about that. They can’t get to the lawn like they used to. They can’t trim their bushes. They can’t clean their yard. So, they feel self-conscious and upset that they’re not able to do that. So, when we’re able to send a team out there to do it, it just does wonders for their spirit.” IVS and the Macomb County Office

GRADUATE

of Senior Services both provide “friend” services as well. IVS will send a volunteer to a seniors home as a “friendly visitor” to provide companionship, and the Office of Senior Services has “Friendly Callers” who will contact a senior via phone a couple of times a week to simply check in on them. “It’s a much-needed program,” Cote said. “Our goal is to assist seniors to live independently and age in place, but, unfortunately, the funding isn’t enough to do that with every senior in Macomb County, so we try our best to get to everybody, but, unfortunately, it’s a funding issue. There just isn’t enough funding to meet the need at this time.” A limited number of volunteers greatly limits the number of people who can be serviced. According to Curro, the number of volunteers working for IVC has dropped dramatically since the pandemic. She said they used to have approximately 600 volunteers, whereas today they have around 350. “As much as we publicize services, we can’t help anybody if we don’t get the volunteers,” said Curro. Cote stressed that they appreciate the large organizations who volunteered their time to help with yard clean up this season, but they can always use more volunteers to be able to get to all those who

A one-of-a-kind automobile

WARREN MAN BUILT CUSTOM CAR TO HAVE 1920s AND ’30s STYLING

BY MARIA ALLARD

allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — While growing up in Detroit, one of the first modes of transportation Roy Lipanski ever made as a kid was his very own motorbike. Using his engineering skills, the native Detroiter took the engine of a lawn mower and mounted it to a bicycle. “I designed the slipper clutch to make it go,” Lipanski remembered. “I was always interested in doing things like that. I was always making stuff as a kid.” The desire to build continued into adulthood. Many years ago, Lipanski — who resides in Warren with his wife, Barbara, of 69 years — decided he wanted to custom build his own car. The couple have five children and several grandchildren. Lipanski, 89, had the mechanical abilities to take on such an endeavor. After all, he worked as a toolmaker building special automation machines, primarily for the automobile industry. In 1965, he purchased a 1955 four-door Chevy Bel Air, rolled up his sleeves and got to work in the garage. He started the project by sketching out a design that served as a blueprint. “It’s an automatic. I made everything you see. Everything is handmade. It was a lot of work,” he said. “All you see is handmade bumpers, hood, fenders, doors, headers and a walnut dashboard. It’s the only one like it in the world.” For starters, Lipanski made sure he had enough sheet metal and steel for his one-of-a-kind production. Everything on the custom-made vehicle is metal, minus the fenders. Lipanski modeled his automobile after two designs he admired: that of the Duesenberg and the Cord styles of the 1920s and 1930s. “I always liked them,” the 1951 Denby High School graduate said. “It took me only two days to strip the car down to the bare frame, and then I had the frame sand-

In 1965, Roy Lipanski purchased a 1955 four-door Chevy Bel Air, stripped it down to its frame and then built his own car. Lipanski likes to take his convertible to the Woodward Dream Cruise and to Eastpointe Cruisin’ Gratiot. The rear of the car was partially made from a 1946 Hudson hood. Photos by Patricia O’Blenes

blasted and primed.” The two-seater convertible is powered by a Chrysler V-8 engine, which Lipanski installed 2 feet back from the original position. The rear of the car was partially made from a 1946 Hudson hood. “I found the old headlights in a junkyard,” he said. Lipanski got down to business when he found tires for the car from a 1955 Ford TBird. He spent $150 for four wheels, which came with a bit of a challenge. “The hole pattern is different. A special adapter had to be made,” he said. Lipanski even named his tailor-made model. He gave it the moniker “macht schnell,” which he said means “hurry up” in German. It was a phrase his German grandmother said to him “frequently as a child.” The car also has a hardtop that clips on, and there’s room for a luggage rack on the back. There’s a side horn made of brass, plus other decorative horns attached. Why add horns? “Because they look nice,” Lipanski said.

When it was time for him to paint the car, Lipanski chose the color maroon. On the morning of June 8, when the car was parked in the driveway at his home, a man passing by in his pickup truck rolled down the window and inquired about the car. “I like it. What is this?” he asked Lipanski. It took Lipanski four years to assemble the car from start to finish. He was inspired to build his own set of wheels by a coworker and friend named Tony Palmeri, who had custom built several cars. Lipanski called him “a real genius.” “He loved it,” Lipanski said of Palmeri’s reaction to his Duesenberg and Cord look-alike. Palmeri has since died, but Lipanski said he will never forget him. Lipanski doesn’t take his car “out too much,” but when he does, it’s usually to the Woodward Dream Cruise in Oakland County or Eastpointe Cruisin’ Gratiot. “My wife, Barbara, and I have been in many Woodward Dream cruises,” he said. “I get a lot of compliments from people. I get a lot of looks. People don’t know what to think. They give me a thumbs-up and say, ‘Nice car.’ People think it’s a real Duesenberg or Cord.”

MIDCENTURY MODERN

Photos provided by Elin Walters

masterpiece BY DEAN VAGLIA

dvaglia@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Classic yet timeless, stylish yet casual, midcentury modern design has gone from a symbol of postwar futurism to a retro aesthetic that makes any space pop. Changing up a room or whole home to fit the midcentury modern style can be a fun project for anyone looking to spruce up their living space and is a more accessible look to achieve than one might think. Before diving headfirst into a midcentury modern redesign, understanding the history and ideas behind the art movement give key insights into what designers were thinking. Gregory Wittkopp, director of the Cranbrook Center for Collections and Research, said midcentury modern pioneers were living in an America dominated by Tudor and Colonial Revival buildings. These styles were steeped in European history, and the pioneers saw that history as one of the causes of the two world wars that ravaged the first half of the 20th century. “Coming out of the ethos of World War II, (the question was) how could (designers) create a style that has less history associated with it, that seemed fresh (and) gave everybody a sense of creating a clean slate,” Wittkopp said. The style’s pioneers found inspiration in Europe’s interwar modern art movements, particularly the International Style and Bauhaus. The sharp lines, plain colors and simple use of materials stood in sharp contrast to the styles of old, but it took until the 1950s for designers to take the interwar styles and give them a distinctly American feel. “It was almost seen as too stark — too modern, if you will,” Wittkopp said. “After

World War II, it is taking (the International Style) but it is creating a style that I think has a little more humanity to it. It was a little bit more of a sense that you could picture you and your family living in these environments, whereas that was a little bit harder to do with the International Style.” Elin Walters, owner and principal designer of Ann Arbor-based Exactly Designs, finds the midcentury modern aesthetic as one defined by clean geometric shapes, natural materials and eye-catching colors. “Things are linear, round, colorful (and have) lots of patterns,” Walters said. “It’s kind of just a clean look, but a warm look so it doesn’t look sterile. It’s not too ornate; just kind of clean and simple but with a lot of style.” As Americans moved to the suburbs, developers began making homes in the midcentury modern style. Midcentury modern interior design took form as a way to decorate that did not clash with the building’s design and materials. A key goal among the furniture and textile designers was to build something to work for all occasions. One furniture line that exemplifies this is “Flexible Home Arrangements,” by J. Robert F. Swanson and Pipsan Saarinen. “It was this modular line of furniture that had much more streamlined shapes and forms to it,” Wittkopp said. “It was still upholstered, but it wasn’t an overstuffed feel, but the fact it was modular was pretty keen. It was the beginnings of creating a sectional feeding system where, depending on the size of your living room, this might turn into a U-shape, it might be a simple L or it could just be the sofa component of it. So, giving you that flexibility to really make it seem it was customized for every single home, and yet being able to do this (by) taking advantage of mass production skills.”

Through the style’s pioneers to the furniture and textile designers working in response to the homes, midcentury modern design evolved into something to which everyone had access. Though the style faded in popularity during the 1970s, its rediscovery and large cultural footprint have kept midcentury modern relevant to this day. In her work as the principal designer of Exactly Designs, Walters specializes in midcentury modern redesigns and has worked on various projects aimed at restoring spaces to their original aesthetic and modifying modern spaces to fit the midcentury style. When it comes to re-creating the midcentury modern style, she said it is important to “bring the outdoors inside.” “A lot of midcentury modern homes have floor-to-ceiling glass; it’s trying to mix the outdoors and the indoors,” Walters said. “Whether you’re bringing in plants, you have built-in planters in your house — it’s just trying to segue the two together.” Using materials that have a natural look and reducing the use of window treatments all go a long way to make a space feel as natural as possible. Sometimes a space is not the most conducive to the midcentury modern look; the roofline may be too typical or the natural light not as plentiful, but Walters said not to fret.

“I even go into homes built in the early 1900s, and someone will say, ‘I really like the midcentury modern aesthetic. ... What can you do?’” Walters said. “I’ll say we really have to go as clean as possible. If you have any detailed woodwork or have any cornices or you have molding, let’s take it all down. Let’s try to get the walls as clean and straightforward as possible, and then that gives you a backdrop to then bring in the aesthetic that’s a lot cleaner and less ornate.” Even if the home itself fits the style, potential do-it-yourself remodelers may believe a midcentury modern space is not truly one without vintage, original furniture from the likes of Eero Saarinen or Charles and Ray Eames, but Walters said not to worry about that. “We’re really in a decade that honors the midcentury modern aesthetic, so a lot of companies, even like West Elm, CB2 (and) Target, will have what they call midcentury modern furniture,” Walters said. “Sure, it’s not the Eames Chair, you’re not going to spend $5,000 on a chair, you’re going to spend a couple hundred dollars on a chair that’s going to have some components of that aesthetic, but it’s very in vogue right now.” See MIDCENTURY on page 19A

arraigned before Magistrate Jim Verploeg from the 41-A District Court in Shelby Township on charges of second-degree murder and felony firearm. The first charge is a felony that can bring life imprisonment upon conviction; the other charge brings two mandatory years of imprisonment upon conviction. Holston’s bond was set at $500,000

Kanouna from page 1A

Kanouna had originally been charged with first-degree premeditated murder. Dawn Fraylick, the communications director from the Prosecutor’s Office, said Kanouna and Hussain “had a feud over money,” and Hussain sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Fraylick added that she believed that Kanouna had mental health issues of some type but did not know specifically what they were. In a statement, Macomb County Pros-

If the bond ends up being posted, he would still need to stay at home, wear a tether, undergo a mental health evaluation and refrain from contacting the victim’s family or business, officials said. According to the MiCOURT database, a probable cause conference was slated for June 29 in Sterling Heights 41-A District Court. In a statement, Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido expressed his lack of tolerance for gun violence.

“This is not the way for family to settle family business,” he said. “All disputes must be settled civilly between parties in or out of the courtroom, not on the streets. The loss of a life is always a profound tragedy, and it is especially disheartening when it occurs within the bonds of family.” Holston’s listed attorney, Gerald Ev-

ecutor Peter Lucido said the case is “a somber reminder” about the importance of seeking justice. “We cannot bring back the life that was lost, but we can honor the victim’s memory by ensuring that the consequences of such heinous acts are met with unyielding resolve,” he said.

LOCAL POLISH COMMUNITY PREPARES TO PARTY It just might be the closest thing you can get to spending a weekend in Warsaw without buying a plane ticket. The 41st annual American Polish Festival and Craft Show will come to the American-Polish Century Club’s campus in Sterling Heights June 23-25. Festival organizers say the event typically draws crowds from Michigan, surrounding states and Ontario. Festival organizers are inviting the public to come hungry for Polish and American meal options. The usuals like kielbasa sausage, pierogi dumplings, potato pancakes, golabki stuffed cabbage and a skewered meat dish called “city chicken” — which isn’t actually chicken — will be served. There also will be fusion dishes such as Polish versions of nachos and egg rolls. Attendees of age may wash the food down with Polish and domestic beer. Leonard Palermino, executive chef and general manager at the Polish club’s Century Banquet Center, said he believes that food is largely what brings people to the event.

“We have traditional, authentic cooking — the way our parents and grandparents would prepare the food — and people seem to enjoy that,” he said. “We’ve been preparing since the end of April with getting items ordered and prepared and frozen. When you’re dealing with 5,000 pounds of city chicken, you need to prepare that well in advance.” The festival also boasts having “the largest wooden dance floor” in southeastern Michigan. Scheduled music acts include The Polish Muslims, Gerry Kaminski’s Polka Network, New Brass Express, and John Gora & Gorale. Dancers are also expected to perform. In addition, the festival’s outdoor craft show will feature more than 50 vendors. The event’s final day will host a polka Mass. Arnie Beller, president of the AmericanPolish Century Club, said he looks forward to seeing crowds having some summer fun. He added that his favorite part of the festival is meeting people and seeing old friends. “We’re bringing it back for the second year after COVID, and we’re expecting the crowds to come back,” he said. “It’s like a big

family reunion every year.” The American Polish Festival and Craft Show will be at the American-Polish Century Club, 33204 Maple Lane Drive in Sterling Heights, June 23-25. Festival hours will be 4-11 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.-11 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday. Craft show hours will be 4-9 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday. General admission costs $5, though

visitors who are 17 years and younger may enter for free. Free parking with shuttles will be at Sterling Heights High School and the Warren Consolidated Schools Career Prep Center. Learn more about the festival by visiting www.americanpolishfestival.com or by calling (586) 264-7990. Call Staff Writer Eric Czarnik at (586) 498-1058.

Retail fraud reported at Lakeside Circle

CRIME

A retail fraud case was reported in the Lakeside Circle area June 2. Police did not give further details of what took place.

WATCH Suspect tries to use victim’s lost debit card

Retail fraud reported along Van Dyke

On June 4, someone reportedly took and then tried to use a Cash App debit card that a victim had dropped while in line at Urban Air Adventure Park, 12050 Hall Road. The victim reportedly got a notification that a purchase was made there; she rejected the transaction and told staff about it. Police reportedly reviewed surveillance footage and said they saw a suspect picking up the card and attempting to use it at a concession stand. Police said they spoke to the victim and her mother. Officers closed the case after reportedly finding out that there was no desire at the time to prosecute.

Group evicted from hotel room

Police went to a hotel in the 36000 block of Van Dyke Avenue the night of June 3 upon hearing that someone was being disorderly and that staff wanted to evict a room’s occupants, adding that more than four were inside. Police went to the room and saw around 10 people inside. Police told the occupants they had to go and not come back, and they reportedly complied.

A retail fraud case was reported June 3 along Van Dyke Road, just south of Metropolitan Parkway. Police did not reveal what happened or what was reportedly stolen.

Missing vehicle found in parking lot

The driver of a Toyota Corolla told police June 4 that his car was missing and might have been stolen from the Walmart parking lot near 14 Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue. But minutes later, the caller said he found his vehicle. Police took no further action.

Motorcyclists ride around soccer field

Two motorbiking minors were reportedly riding around the soccer field without helmets while allegedly “endangering people” June 3 at Delia Park, 3001 18 Mile Road. Police said the teens were gone by the time officers arrived at the scene. Anyone who has more information about any of these incidents is encouraged to contact the Sterling Heights Police Department at (586) 446-2800. — Eric Czarnik

Midcentury from page 14A

Many staples of the midcentury modern era remain available today as companies like Knoll and Herman Miller are still producing classic Eames, Saarinen and others’ works. Trying to find vintage furniture of the era is still a viable way to get the midmod look, but the popularity of the style has made it hard in recent years. “It’s getting harder and harder to make those finds and strike a deal because it is in vogue and people know what it’s worth,” Walters said. Some of Walters’ favorite antique shops in the area are the Tom Gibbs Studio and Vogue Vintage, both on Hilton Road in Ferndale. Online shopping sites like Etsy are another way Walters hunts for period-made decor. Ultimately, Walters said to approach midcentury modern with the mind to have fun, as well as to be brave when using colors and patterns. “There’s nothing that is so permanent that you can’t have a little fun,” Walters said. “I find that when people venture out a little

bit from what they are comfortable with, it’s usually a good thing.” Walters encourages people to spend time living in their homes before making any major style changes. While the drive to redesign may be tempting, sometimes the space might be fine as is. Taking all the home’s rooms into account and making sure they fit together after the redesign is critical. Wittkopp believes anyone looking to work with midcentury modern should examine examples of the design in the wild. While Michigan is packed with midcentury modern homes and buildings, the Smith House by Frank Lloyd Wright can be found right near the Cranbrook Campus. “(Wright) really created a model for what this period really could be in terms of creating an open but fairly compact home that would incorporate all of the elements,” Wittkopp said. “A carport instead of a garage, no basement, built on a slab, no attic, the flat roof (and) the connection between the interior and the outside. These were all the hallmarks of midcentury modern that I would encourage people to learn about and educate themselves about.” Smith House tours can be booked by visiting center.cranbrook.edu.

Mural from page 1A

The city held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate its completion June 6. The finished mural is located on the Community Center’s first floor, by the Community Room. According to city officials, over 130 community members contributed to the final piece through a series of 12 workshops. The community members helped rearrange glass tiles to make designs for 30 mosaic panels. The overall mural presentation not only features a mosaic depiction of a trail, but it is also accompanied by a mosaic of the city’s logo. Gilhuly is part of Song and Spirit, an interfaith group based in Royal Oak that is devoted to education, the arts and community outreach. In an email, she also said she and her husband had a graphic design business for over three decades, and she has been a professional mosaic artist for 15 years. “My first mosaic art commission was a Donor Recognition Wall at a synagogue in Oak Park, (Michigan), that was completed in 2008,” she explained. According to Sterling Heights, Gilhuly originally was assigned the mural job

In December 2022, the Sterling Heights City Council voted to allocate $34,000 toward the project via the consent agenda. Gilhuly said she didn’t visit many Sterling Heights trails prior to designing the mural. But she said she visited one in the city, among other metro Detroit trails, during the pandemic’s first year.

She noticed during her journeys that some trails have signs reminding the public to “share the trail,“ and that attitude inspired her. “It seemed to remind folks to be polite, share the space with walkers, riders, crosscountry skiers — and wildlife, too!” she wrote. “I felt like it encouraged pleasant exchanges and generally asked people to enjoy themselves safely, be respectful of the envi-

ronment and neighborly toward those they meet along the way.” Gilhuly explained that, for practical purposes, the mural needed to consist of multiple boards of varying sizes. That influenced the mural’s aesthetic and theme, in which participants “shared” a trail by making one through art. “Creating a path or ‘trail’ that would travel across 30 panels seemed like a way to engage people of all ages in the creative process with the same sort of enthusiasm they might explore their community,” she wrote. Jeanne Schabath-Lewis from the Sterling Heights Arts Commission said she attended one of the first mural-making sessions and made a yellow fish, which she named Lewis in honor of her husband. She added that she was amazed to see the community’s participation and cooperation on the project. “The community really enjoyed being part of this art piece,” she said. “You could see every age group (helping), from a 2-yearold all the way to seniors.” Learn more about the Sterling Heights Community Center, 40250 Dodge Park Road, by visiting www.myshpr.net or by calling (586) 446-2700.

Catching Cancer Before It’s Too Late

Early Cancer Detection Made Possible: Michigan’s First MRI Total Body Screening Clinic Now Open in Southfield, Pioneering Symptom-Free Diagnosis. I’ll never forget the words of a patient who recently completed a total body cancer screening with me: ‘Doc, you saved my life!’ Despite having no symptoms, we discovered a tiny tumor lurking and growing inside of him. Without early detection, the mass could have silently grown into late-stage cancer, leading to excruciating treatments and a potentially dire outcome. Thanks to the power of early detection, cancer was discovered before it was too late. It’s moments like these that are precisely why total body screening saves lives. As a general rule, when someone presents to the doctor with a symptom related to cancer, they are usually at stage III or stage IV. Even with annual physicals, there are limitations. Most screening tests that are covered by insurance companies only cover about 29% of cancers. The other 71% of cancers occur in areas where doctors are unable to screen, and insurance companies will not pay for screening. This is where Bionicc Body Screening in Southfield can save lives. I am Dr. Warren Ringold, and last month marked the fifth anniversary of the day my life changed forever. Five years ago, I was diagnosed with stage IV cancer in my chest and

abdomen. The most alarming part is that I had no symptoms before this diagnosis. This is the great dilemma of cancer: the need for early detection. Early diagnosis is key to successful treatment, and cancer needs to be detected when it is most treatable. My personal stage IV cancer journey has been long and rugged. My tumor eventually was recurrent in my brain after an initial seven months of chemotherapy. I have been extraordinarily lucky. After being told that I would live only two months without treatment on my brain, I was fortunate enough to become patient number one in a new drug study and I have been in remission 5 to 8 times longer than expected. During that time, instead of ending up with the indignation of dying, from a brain tumor in front of my family with seizures and eventual blindness, I have been able to see twins, born as grandchildren, ball games, swim meets, graduations, while watching my grandchildren and children achieve. Most importantly, I’ve gotten to hold my wife, Nancy, in my arms for more than 1500 more nights of my life. I get to hug my children and kiss my 13 grandchildren. They don’t have to look at me with tears in their eyes, because

Dr. Warren Ringold, M.D. they see Papa deteriorating. What a gift that has been. But very few patients are as fortunate as I have been, which is why I founded Bionicc Body Screening. At Bionicc Body Screening, we can screen for cancer from the top of the head through the genitals, detecting cancers as small as the size of a pencil eraser. We use highly advanced and sophisticated MRI screening, which can find small cancers in areas where doctors cannot order testing that will be covered by insurance. The irony is that these cancers start out very small, and they are very treatable at this stage. They are usually stage one and can be seen in

every organ of the body, including the dreaded pancreas. While screening for cancer, we can also find many other things that need to be treated or watched, such as brain, abdominal, chest, and groin aneurysms. If detected at this stage, treatment for stage one cancer is usually simple resection of a tumor. Unfortunately, if you are stage III or IV like most people, it results in vigorous and difficult treatment with much poorer outcomes. It is unfortunate that some patients resist screening due to fear. Despite their desire to take the test, they unnecessarily delay it out of fear of receiving potentially distressing news about their health. Giving in to fear can only make matters worse and potentially allow undetected health problems to spiral out of control. Don’t put off your screening any longer. Ask yourself, when is a better time to take action than right now? Don’t wait another 6 months or even another day. Prioritize your health and get screened today. The only regret patients have is that they waited. Don’t wait. Get a total body cancer screening today. Call 1-833-BIONICC (1-833-246-6422) today, or learn more now by visiting www.BioniccBodyScreening.com.

GROSSE POINTE WOODS — A resident in the 500 block of Heather Lane filed a report with police May 31 after becoming the victim of an unknown con artist or con artists. In February, the victim said she was contacted by an unknown male suspect who claimed he was Todd Sloane, senior vice president of Publishers Clearing House. The suspect told the victim she had won $5.5 million but needed to wire cash to pay for taxes on the winnings before claiming the jackpot. The victim made seven cash transfers over a six-week period totaling $102,000 that were wired to the suspect. In March, the suspect — who police said appears to be in Connecticut — instructed the victim to purchase and send a Rolex watch to an address in New York. Police said the watch was received and signed for by a different suspect March 21. The victim has since changed all her accounts and gotten an identity theft monitoring service, police said.

Women get into fight at store

GROSSE POINTE CITY — A 43-year-old Harrison Township woman and a 60-year-old Grosse Pointe City woman could be facing assault and battery charges after police said they got into a physical confrontation at The Village Kroger store at around 9 p.m. May 31. A police report states that the fight stemmed from the actions of the daughter of one of the suspects.

HE W T F O E M I R C WEEK •

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — A 26-year-old Detroit man is said to have tampered with beverages at the McDonald’s at 18201 Mack Ave. in Detroit and then did the same with a water bottle at Village Food Market across the street at around 9:15 a.m. May 29. According to a police report, the suspect poured an unknown substance into beverages in an employees-only area at McDonald’s just before they were going to be served to customers. He is then said to have opened a bottle of water for sale at Village Market and poured something in it that turned the water pink. The suspect told police that he needed to give people “the cure” and was following a directive from his god to add this substance to beverages to heal people. The suspect was cited for retail fraud for taking the water bottle and tampering with it without paying for it, and he was transported to a nearby hospital for a psychological evaluation.

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 11 a.m. May 13, a woman came to the Police Department to file a fraud report. She stated that she had received a call from

her bank May 10 informing her that someone was trying to duplicate her debit card. The bank also advised her that someone was trying to change her personal information that was associated with her bank account. Upon talking to the bank, it was discovered that someone had tried to charge more than $9,000 worth of purchases on her cards, but the transactions were all declined.

Breaking and entering, theft reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 6:50 a.m. on May 25, a report was made about a breaking and entering and theft that occurred between 2:50 a.m. and 3:10 a.m. on the same day in the 21000 block of Madison Street. Upon arrival at the listed location, two officers spoke with the victim, a 35-year-old man, who said when he woke up that morning, he discovered someone had gone into his garage and taken one of his ATVs. The man had posted the ATV for sale on Facebook Marketplace, but he did not recall any suspicious activity regarding the post. The garage had been left closed but with the pedestrian door unlocked. Behind the garage, a large hole was cut into the fence. It appeared the driveway was too congested with cars and there was not enough room to get through. An officer spoke with a neighbor, a 65-year-old man, who said that at around 3 a.m., a camera in his backyard captured two male subjects pushing the ATV out of the yard and down the driveway. The victim did not notice any other belongings missing from the garage. While going back to the station to pick up equipment, an officer located the stolen ATV on Madison Street. The ATV did not appear to have any damage but was missing the ignition key. The ATV was dusted for fingerprints and the victim was notified.

Ear wax remover, cane stolen from drugstore

STERLING HEIGHTS — Police went to a drugstore along Van Dyke Avenue May 20 and heard from a manager that a heavyset woman in her 20s or 30s wanted to return a medical ear wax remover and a foldable walking cane, without a receipt, that she claimed she had bought earlier from another store location. The manager reportedly told the woman to return to the original store from which the items had allegedly been bought. Store staff reportedly added that a cane and ear wax remover were missing from their shelves. Surveillance footage reportedly showed the suspect going into the store with an empty plastic bag and then being in the section where the stolen items are shelved. Police said they have no leads and took no other action.
