The Sterling Heights Police Department says it plans to enforce new distracted driving legislation that goes into effect in Michigan June 30. From then on, it will generally be against the law to hold or use a cellphone or mobile electronic device while driving, though hands-free or voice-operated calls will still be lawful.

Hold the phone, get a ticket

BY ERIC CZARNIK eczarnik@candgnews.com

If you want to avoid a traffic ticket, keep your cellphone out of your grasp.

Freshly passed state legislation that will penalize drivers for holding or using their cellphones or other electronic mobile devices while driving will be effective June 30.

Traffic along Van Dyke Avenue, north of Metropolitan Parkway, passes by the Stellantis Sterling Heights Assembly Plant campus. Sterling Heights officials recently said the city had the second-highest industrial property values among the five cities with the highest state equalized values.

STERLING EMBRACES PROPERTY VALUE RANKINGS

Sterling Heights’ property values measure up when comparing the state equalized values of top Michigan cities, according to city officials.

According to the state of Michigan’s website, state equalized value equates to

half of a property’s true cash value. The state adds that assessed values are generally the same as SEV “unless an equalization factor has been applied by the county in which the property is located or the State.”

MOUNT CLEMENS — Tragedy turned to triumph for one Macomb Township family after fast action from Macomb County Sheriff ’s deputies, Macomb Township firefighters and hospital staff saved 2-yearold Mira Lateef from drowning in an above-ground pool.

It all began on the morning of June 3. Saif and Hanan, Mira’s father and mother, were going about their morning when Hanan noticed something was off.

“She was eating peacefully and watching cartoons, and one or two minutes after that, I get this feeling there’s something wrong,” Hanan said.

It was too quiet around the house and, after what seemed like less than a minute of searching, Hanan found Mira floating in the backyard pool.

“She was blue, no heartbeat, something white coming out from her mouth,” Hanan said, recounting Mira’s condition upon retrieving her from the pool.

COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS

BY ERIC CZARNIK eczarnik@candgnews.com

More than a dozen high school graduates and college students have some extra funds to help them on their college or vocational journeys thanks to the organized efforts of the Sterling Heights Area Community Foundation.

During a May 16 presentation before the Sterling

Heights City Council, the Community Foundation announced the winners of 20 scholarships that collectively add up to $33,000.

The nonprofit Community Foundation, founded in 1991, says it has given $491,000 worth of scholarships to 525 students over 25 years, since 1999.

“We are fortunate to have individuals and companies like our scholarship partners who come forward annually

and make a difference in the lives of so many outstanding students by helping them pursue their professional goals,” Community Foundation Executive Director Karl Oskoian said at the council meeting.

He later talked about the competition and standards that recipients must meet.

“Every year, the foundation receives hundreds of See SCHOLARSHIP on page 9A

Hanan called for Saif and called 911 for the first time in her life. After getting on the call with Macomb County Sheriff ’s Office dispatcher Lindsey McCord, officers were on the scene at the Lateef residence within five minutes and were soon joined

by Macomb Township Fire Department and Medstar ambulance personnel. At that time, Saif performed CPR on Mira while receiving instructions from McCord.

“It’s not even two or three words before I start seeing all the police officers around me, and I really can’t handle it at this point,” Saif said. “A couple seconds ago, I feel Mira, she’s still alive and has a heart (that’s) still beating, and at that minute I could not do anything any further, and I just see the police arrive from everywhere. They come from my back, from the garage, from all the doors, and right next second, I couldn’t really do anything.”

Medical responders rushed Mira to Henry Ford Hospital Macomb in Clinton Township before airlifting her to Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, where she was given pediatric trauma care. It took about an hour before Mira was off oxygen assistance, and within 24 hours, she made a full recovery.

“Twenty-four hours later, it was like nothing happened,” Saif said. “It was the worst 24 hours in my life that I ever experienced, but Mira, she’s here. Every time I look at her face, every time I hear her voice or I hear her call my name, it takes that pain out.”

The Lateef family was reunited with McCord and responding deputies Mitchell Blount and Jonathan Potocki and Macomb County Sheriff ’s Office Sgt. Chuck Medley at the Macomb County Jail on June 8. Due

to commitments, Macomb Township firefighters Jason Krozek, Robert Huck, Ryan Randlett and Bernie Wouters were unable to make it, represented instead by Chief Robert Phillips of the Macomb Township Fire Department.

“They performed exactly as I would expect them to, as anyone would expect them to,” Phillips said of the firefighters. “Not only that, they went above and beyond. It certainly wasn’t an easy scene whatsoever. …

They did exactly what needed to be done; what they do every single day when they respond to a call.”

Deputies Blount and Potocki were given flowers by Saif, who thanked them for the quick response.

“You don’t really think about (the rescue) until after the fact,” Potocki said.

“What we go through in training and things like that, we just react and we went with it.

It didn’t hit us all until after the fact that we thought about what could’ve been the outcome. We’re both parents (Potocki and Blount), so it hit home that day.”

For Blount, calls like this one are what being a deputy is all about.

“That’s what this is all about is being there for the community, and that’s what we’re working for,” Blount said. “Just to see little Mira smile is worth it.”

According to Saif, this was the second time he has used CPR to help save a child’s life since emigrating from Iraq to the United States. In 2009, a friend’s son began to drown in a river when Saif jumped in, pulled him ashore and rescued him by providing CPR until help could arrive.

The American Red Cross has a CPR/ automated external defibrillator class finder on its website at redcross.org. CPR/AED certification requires taking a class and is renewed by taking a class at least every two years.

The adopted bill package, which started in Lansing as House Bills 4250-4252, generally and more broadly prohibits drivers from using a mobile device — such as browsing social media, making calls or recording video — while operating a vehicle. That includes while stopped at a traffic light or stop sign, though not when the vehicle is parked legally.

The legislation also prohibits drivers from holding a mobile device with the hands, arms or shoulders.

The laws do permit using hands-free or voice-operated technology for cellphone calls while behind the wheel. The bill package includes exemptions for certain emergency situations.

In addition, the legislation directs the Michigan State Police to issue a report to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Lansing lawmakers about the issue 42 months after implementation.

Whitmer signed the anti-distracted driving bills into law June 7, making them Public Acts 39-41 of 2023. She said in a statement that she was proud to do so.

“Too many Michiganders have lost loved ones to distracted driving, and everyone should be safe on their way to school, home, or work,” she said.

“We developed our last Strategic Highway Safety Plan in 2019 and already we have seen a reduction in the number of fatalities caused by distracted driving. These bills are another step toward reducing that number even further. Our goal is to see zero traffic deaths by 2050 and I know that by working together we can get it done.”

According to the statement from Whitmer’s office, Michigan is now the 26th U.S. state to have hands-free anti-distracted driving legislation. The statement added that

Ohio prevented over 500 crashes and saw a 9% decrease in distracted driving over a month’s time after recently enacting a handsfree law.

Local elected representatives and Sterling Heights police also commented on the new laws.

State Rep. Nate Shannon, D-Sterling Heights, chairs the Michigan House of Representatives’ Transportation, Mobility and Infrastructure Committee. He said he was happy that the distracted driving bill package passed out of his committee. He added that the campaign to get the legislation passed had been ongoing for almost four years.

“It’s important legislation; it’s important policy,” he said. “Distracted driving is very dangerous, and people lose their lives over it.”

Shannon said that under previously existing Michigan law, texting and driving was already illegal. But proponents of the new legislation say there was a loophole that didn’t prohibit other smartphone actions such as scrolling through Facebook, watching Netflix or tweeting on Twitter.

Shannon said the new laws will actually save people’s lives. When it comes to risking distracted driving over checking a phone, he simply advised, “Just don’t do it.”

“It’s just not necessary, and you’re putting people’s lives at risk and it’s something that shouldn’t be happening,” Shannon said.

During a June 20 Sterling Heights City Council meeting, state Sen. Stephanie Chang — whose District 3 includes a bit of southwestern Sterling Heights — spoke.

She said she wanted to make sure “folks are aware” of the new laws.

“I know it’s a big change,” she said. “So basically, that law says that it is illegal to drive using your cellphone. So previously, it was just illegal to text while driving. Now, it’s anything — social media, taking (a) picture.

that while you’re driving.”

Sterling Heights Police Chief Dale Dwojakowski said that, starting June 30, his department’s officers will absolutely be on the lookout for people who are driving while holding a cellphone.

“They’ll be pulled over, and they’ll be issued a citation,” he said.

According to the new laws, officers may use the new electronic device restrictions as a “primary or sole reason” for ticketing a motorist. However, under the new laws, im-

properly using a cellphone is not, by itself, a sufficient reason to give police the right to search a vehicle or its driver or passenger.

Dwojakowski said he welcomed the new laws because they will make phonerelated traffic enforcement simpler for officers.

“Texting and driving was difficult because you had to know what they were doing on their phone,” he said. “Now with the hands-free law, just having that phone in your hand is against the law. … It’s going to be much easier for law enforcement to take enforcement action when people decide to use their phone while driving.”

Dwojakowski said he believes that

phones often play a role in traffic accidents.

“I would say half of our accidents are someone rear-ending another car,” he said.

“And when you rear-end somebody, oftentimes it means you were distracted, and most of the time, I’m willing to bet, it was with a phone.”

The new legislation lists possible pen-

alties for violating the mobile device laws, such as a $100 fine for a first offense and $250 for subsequent violations; community service; and driving record points. Repeat offenders may be ordered to take a driving improvement course.

CRIME WATCH Shaving cream fight reported at Schoenherr and 19 Mile

During the morning of June 9, at least one juvenile was reported to be in the median around the intersection of Schoenherr and 19 Mile roads. A juvenile was reportedly engaged in a shaving cream fight and stepped into the road at some point, police said. Police arrived around noon and said the situation had “cleared out.”

Suspected Kohl’s shoplifter tries to flee from police

Police went to Kohl’s, 44200 Schoenherr Road, June 9 upon hearing that suspected shoplifting was in progress. A repeat offender was reported to be putting items such as kids Nike clothing in a cart.

The suspect was described as tall and in his 50s or 60s. He reportedly had a salt-andpepper beard and four missing front teeth.

He was reportedly accompanied by a woman wearing a bandana and a tie-dyed shirt.

Police waited for the individuals to leave the store and reportedly saw the woman leave from the north entrance and get inside the red Ford Taurus she had arrived in.

Then the man reportedly came out of the store with a full shopping court, headed to the Taurus and started unloading merchandise into it.

Police contacted the man, but he allegedly tried to run away. Police said they pursued him and eventually found him hiding under a parked vehicle. Although police ordered him not to run away, he allegedly did so again.

When police reportedly caught up to him, they demanded he stop, but he allegedly said “no” and ran westward, crossing Schoenherr Road. Police said they finally arrested him for first-degree retail fraud after he crossed the street.

Police said the suspect stole 41 items of merchandise worth a total of $1,458. Police also investigated the Taurus and said that, besides the one woman, there were two more female individuals in the car who never went inside the Kohl’s. Police said they released the three females.

Juveniles argue, fight in Target parking lot

A group of male juveniles were reportedly witnessed arguing, yelling and brawling in the parking lot of Target, 2310 Metropolitan Parkway, the night of June 9.

The fight eventually broke up, but the juveniles reportedly continued to yell at one another before dispersing. Police said they talked to some of the juveniles, who said the dispute was over “girl troubles.” They reportedly denied that any assault happened, didn’t want help from police, and said they planned to return home. Police took no further action.

Charger stolen from Stellantis plant parking lot

Police went to Stellantis’ Sterling Stamping Plant, 35777 Van Dyke Ave., June 9 upon hearing that someone had stolen a green 2019 Dodge Charger from the parking lot.

According to the vehicle’s owner, he was leaving work when he noticed that the vehicle was gone, and only broken glass was where it had last been parked. Police asked the plant’s security for surveillance footage.

Beer dropper declared harmless

A customer at a grocery store in the 43000 block of Schoenherr Road told police June 9 that another customer was being belligerent. Police heard that the other customer, who reportedly was in his 50s or 60s, allegedly threw a cart and a box of beer on the ground.

Police talked to the store’s staff, who said the man had dropped his beer and went inside again to get more. Staff said the man didn’t hurt anybody or steal anything. Police took no further action.

Anyone who has more information about any of these incidents is encouraged to contact the Sterling Heights Police Department by calling (586) 446-2800.

excitement: FANS CELEBRATE THE PONTIAC FIERO’S 40TH ANNIVERSARY

PAST EMPLOYEES INVITED TO SPECIAL REUNION

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

PONTIAC — Forty years ago, the Pontiac Fiero drove off the lot for the first time and found its niche in the sports car community.

Although the two-seater car was only in production for five years, from 1983 to 1988, there are still Pontiac Fiero owners nationwide.

To acknowledge the 40-year anniversary of the Pontiac Fiero this year, a celebration will be held July 12-16 in Pontiac.

Presented by M1 Concourse, the celebration will bring home the last Pontiacs made in Pontiac, including the very last car ever produced there — a 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT. Other cars that will be on-site include PPG Pace Cars, the 2+2 Fiero prototype, other Fiero prototypes and special cars from the GM Heritage Center collection.

There will be a collection of Fiero vehicles on display.

Members of the Pontiac Motorsports Division, Pontiac Design Studio and Pontiac Engineering are expected to attend.

The Pontiac Transportation Museum, also a sponsor of the event, will collect oral history testimonies to document individual stories. The three original 1984 Indy Pace Cars are confirmed to be at the event, marking the first time all three cars have been together since race day nearly 40 years ago.

Event organizers have set aside July 15 to hold a special

reunion for all the employees who once worked on the Fiero. The Fiero Project Reunion will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Auburn Hills Marriott in Pontiac.

The Midwest Fiero Clubs Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) is reaching out to all past workers — from plant workers to project engineers — to attend. Former employees are welcome to attend the Distinguished Speaker event at the Crofoot Ballroom Hall on July 13.

‘We share our interests, passions and friendships.’

Jennifer Goss and Fred Bartemeyer are co-chairing the anniversary celebration.

“We’d like to get the word out about the event,” said Goss, who resides in Staunton, Virginia. “The reunion is to gather and to reminisce.”

So far, 25 people — including people from Washington state, New England and Arizona — have responded, but organizers hope to attract many more.

Goss, who will be in attendance, grew up in a family of Fiero enthusiasts.

“It’s always been a fun sports car that has a great community,” Goss said.

Her dad, Jim Gilbert, even won his own black Fiero after participating in a contest.

“He was very excited,” Goss remembered of her dad, who died in 2020. “He loved the car.”

Her dad’s winning car is now a keepsake.

“I still have it,” Goss said.

There are still Fiero buffs in the U.S. and around the world who have hung onto their cars from the ’80s and are collectors like Goss and her husband, who have eight Fieros.

“It brings back memories of earlier times in their lives,” Goss said. “The young people, they know how timeless they are. The Fiero

has aged well.”

The Midwest Fiero Clubs Region AACA current members include Heartland Fiero Club; Michigan Fiero Club; Wisconsin Fiero Fanatics; Mid-Atlantic Fiero Owners Association; Northern Illinois Fiero Enthusiasts; Kansas City Fiero Owners Group; Minnesota Fieros Forever; Midwest Fieros; North Texas Fiero Club; and Mid-America Fieros. The 10 clubs collaborate to promote and preserve the Pontiac Fiero and the Fiero Community.

“We share our interests, passions and friendships,” said Bartemeyer, Midwest Fiero Clubs Region AACA president. “It’s to bring everyone together to have a central resource.

We’re a small, close-knit community.”

Members don’t have to own a Fiero to join.

“You just have to have the interest,” said Bartemeyer, of Davenport, Iowa. “A lot of people join our club to help find them a good car, specifically the Pontiac Fiero.”

Bartemeyer bought his first Fiero for $12,000 when he graduated from high school in 1985 at age 18. He saved enough money over the years shoveling snow and mowing lawns. He also took out a small loan to help with the purchase.

“I’ve been into cars my entire life. As a young kid with a brand-new car, it was very exciting. It was an incredible experience,” Bartemeyer said. “I took people for rides. It got a lot of use. It was a lot of fun.”

One year later, Bartemeyer traded in his ’85 model for a new 1986 Pontiac Fiero GT when they came on the market.

“I had to have one,” he said.

To date, Bartemeyer owns 26 Fieros, including the 1986 GT model. He’ll bring eight of them to display at next month’s anniversary celebration.

EXPL RE

LUDINGTON IS A PREMIER LAKE MICHIGAN BEACH TOWN

BY GREG TASKER LUDINGTON — If you haven’t been to Ludington in a while, it’s time to give this Lake Michigan beach town another visit.

And not just because the city is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year (though that is a good reason). As far as beach towns go, Ludington offers everything you’d expect: miles and miles of sandy beaches, ice cream and fudge shops, a downtown flush with souvenir and gift shops, and longstanding restaurants that are part of the tradition of returning to favorite beach towns.

In the last few years, new restaurants, breweries and other attractions have opened up, adding to the city’s appeal. There are now three breweries in and around Ludington. A couple of wineries have sprouted up outside town, and the city created a social district along several downtown blocks. A food truck court along U.S. 10 offers other casual dining options. The pink Brunch Babes food truck is a standout, serving variations of classic brunch dishes with tater tots.

These are all wonderful additions to Ludington, of course, but blending the new with old is really your best bet to experience the charms of this western Michigan city.

Participating in local traditions, like watching the car-and-passenger ferry, the S.S. Badger, return from Wisconsin each evening, will bring a smile to your face. Locals and visitors start to gather around 6:30 p.m., some standing on car roofs, others waving handmade signs to welcome passengers to Michigan.

Locals also recommend newcomers take a walk to the iconic Big Sable Point Lighthouse, which stands in Ludington State Park, a few miles outside of the city. The nearly 2-mile trail winds through low-lying dunes along the Lake Michigan shoreline.

You can also bike, but no motorized vehicles are allowed on the trail. The climb (130 steps) to the top of the 112-foot tower is well worth the hike. Step out on the catwalk for unmatched views of Lake Michigan and Ludington State Park.

Just a few blocks from downtown, Stearns Park Beach on Lake Michigan is popular with beachgoers. The park is home to two concession stands (now operated by one of the owners of Brunch Babes, so expect more interesting menu options), shuffleboard, a skate park, mini golf, and playground and picnic areas.

Here are some suggestions for a weekend getaway in Ludington:

WHERE TO STAY: Ludington has several motels and bed and breakfast inns, many of them within walking distance of downtown and the beach. Summer’s Inn is a renovated motor lodge on Route 10, within blocks of downtown. The adults-only motel serves a gourmet breakfast (quiche and fresh fruit were on the menu when I visited) and despite the busy road out front, the grounds are quiet. A free library and a courtyard garden add to the serenity. For elegant accommodations, consider the Cartier Mansion Bed and Breakfast, the restored former home of a lumber baron. The home’s Carriage House was recently renovated and has four suites. Guests receive a libation upon arrival and a gourmet breakfast each day. One of the owners’ unique offerings is pairing visitors with volunteer opportunities in the community.

WHERE TO EAT: The new hot spot is STIX, a renovated bowling alley, restaurant and biergarten outside of the city on the way to Ludington State Park. The biergarten is family friendly with games for adults and children. It’s a great place to grab a meal or a drink after hiking at the state park. Another favorite is Blu Moon Bistro & Cafe, which serves fresh sushi and offers a diverse menu. A local staple is Crown and Cork, formerly PM Steamers. The menu at this waterfront restaurant features Great Lakes seafood, burgers, steaks and more. No visit to Ludington would be complete with a stop at the House of Flavors, celebrating its 75th anniversary. The restaurant serves comfort food, sandwiches and is famous for its extensive selection of ice cream, made right next door at one of Michigan’s largest ice cream production plants.

Ludington from page 12A

water Light is walkable and an ideal spot to watch the sunset.

What makes Ludington unique among many beach towns is its cultural and historical amenities, including the Port of Ludington Maritime Museum and Historic White Pine Village. I ducked into the maritime museum on a cloudy beach day and was impressed with the exhibits and interactive displays. The museum explores the city’s history on the water, lumbering days, and the

steamers and car ferries that once crowded its waters. An extensive exhibit on the Armistice Day Storm in 1940 is mesmerizing.

The storm took the lives of 64 sailors on Lake Michigan. Their stories are told with survivor accounts, photographs and video of the shipwrecks at the lake’s bottom.

WHERE TO GO: The newly opened Mason County Historical Society is a good place to get your bearings about historical attractions. You can also take tours to learn the history of the region. Purchase tickets to Historic White Pine Village and the Port of Ludington Maritime Museum in the society’s Emporium and Sweet Shop, stocked with history books, souvenirs and candy. Across the street is the Sandcastles Children’ Museum, a small museum with three stories of hands-on exhibits. One of the newest is ¡Hola!, featuring 10 conversational buttons throughout the building to help visitors learn Spanish phrases. Historic White Pine Village, several miles south of Ludington, explores the region’s lumbering and farming past in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with a collection of 30 historic buildings. You can purchase a combination ticket for the village, the maritime museum and the Mason County Research Center at the Emporium.

Mark Vanderpool broke down the latest 2023 equalization statistics.

“I think we can all take some pride in this,” he said, concerning the results.

Based on the latest state equalized value data, Sterling Heights is No. 5 overall in the state’s top five cities with $7.31 billion in total assessed value. The other cities were No. 1 Detroit ($14.73 billion), No. 2 Ann Arbor ($9.99 billion), No. 3 Grand Rapids ($9.78 billion) and No. 4 Troy ($8.14 billion).

Among those cities, Detroit took first place in commercial ($6.28 billion), industrial ($917 million) and personal ($1.69 billion) property, though it took third for residential property ($5.84 billion). Vanderpool attributed Detroit’s top rankings to its “vast size.”

Out of the top five cities, Sterling Heights took fifth place in commercial ($1.09 billion) and personal ($244 million) property values. But the city had the secondhighest values for industrial property ($626 million) and was in fourth place for residential property with $5.36 billion.

“It’s reflective of the very strong, robust commercial, manufacturing (and) industrial property base in our city, and it’s really important to everyone who’s homeowners, because that very strong property value base helped keep residential property taxes low,” Vanderpool said.

“We are in the bottom half of property taxes statewide, and it’s because of this, in part.”

According to statistics from Sterling Heights City Assessor Robin Palazzolo, the city had its industrial property values elevate by around 7% and its residential values went up by around 11% compared to the prior year. Overall, the total assessed value of the city’s property reportedly increased by around $612 million.

“Those of you who own property in the city, whether it’s a business or a home, you always want to see your property appreciating. You never want to see depreciation with a property,” Vanderpool explained.

“And we’re very lucky in Sterling Heights, thanks to the hard work of everyone — residents taking a good effort to maintain their property (and) the city’s really strong economic development program encouraging businesses to expand and locate here. It’s a very vibrant community, and the end result, typically, is very strong property values.”

Vanderpool also credited programs like the neighborhood cleanup-related SHINE program, aka the Sterling Heights Initiative

“Sterling Heights is a place where businesses thrive, jobs are abundant and families can build a solid foundation for their future. I have a feeling the work we’ve put in to nurture sustainable development will continue to make our property values grow for years.”

— Michael Taylor Sterling Heights Mayor

for Neighborhood Excellence, for keeping curb appeal and property values up.

When looking at property values in Macomb County alone, Vanderpool said that Sterling Heights has the highest total assessed value. The city took first place for residential and commercial property values and second place — behind Warren — for industrial and personal property values, Vanderpool said. He said Warren took first place for industrial due to having businesses like the General Motors Technical Center.

In a statement, Sterling Heights Mayor Michael Taylor said growing property values is a sign of confidence in the community and its potential.

“Sterling Heights is a place where businesses thrive, jobs are abundant and families can build a solid foundation for their future,” he said. “I have a feeling the work we’ve put in to nurture sustainable development will continue to make our property values grow for years.”
