BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

SHORES — Dads and car lovers alike will have reason to celebrate when the 37th annual EyesOn Design car show rolls onto the grounds of the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 16, which is Father’s Day.

Dr. Philip Hessburg, the director emeritus of the nonprofit Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology, said this year’s show will feature “the crème de la crème” of vehicle design, as all the vehicles included have been dreamed up by EyesOn Design Lifetime Design Achievement Award winners.

“Our annual theme, and our design-centric approach to determining which vehicles will be invited to participate, is what makes

NEW PARK FARMERS MARKET TO OPEN IN JUNE

BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

PARK — Fresh, seasonal produce is making a return to the streets of Grosse Pointe Park this summer.

After an absence of several years, a group of residents

banded together to bring back farmers markets. Between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturdays from June 15 to Sept. 14, the Park farmers market will be held in a city-owned parking lot on the southeast corner of Kercheval Avenue and Lakepointe Street — behind the Corewell Health building — in the city’s Kercheval business district.

“We’ve got a lot of great vendors lined up,” said one of the organizers, Justine Schneider, during a Park City Council meeting May 13. “Our downtown has become so walkable.”

Philip Crouse, another of the organizers, said they

FUNDRAISER SCHEDULED

FOR FORMER PUBLIC SAFETY DISPATCHER BATTLING CANCER

BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

PARK — A couple that has devoted their lives to serving others is now in need of a helping hand from the community.

Erin Bremer, a former Detroit police officer and emergency dispatcher for Grosse Pointe Farms and Grosse Pointe Woods, is battling stage 4 metastatic breast cancer and is no longer able to work. Her husband, Adam Bremer, is an officer with the Grosse Pointe Park Public Safety Department, where he has worked for the last 5 1/2 years; before that, he was with the Grosse Pointe Shores Public Safety Department for about five years. They’ve got mounting medical bills from Erin’s treatments and surgeries as she bravely fights an enemy that’s more relentless than most criminals.

A fundraiser to assist the Bremers with their expenses will take place from 3 to 8 p.m. June 8 at the Cabbage Patch Saloon, 15130 Mack Ave. in Grosse Pointe Park. For $20 per ticket, attendees will receive a hot dog and draft beer. There will also be games, a tin can raffle,

Local doctor receives national honor

BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

CITY — There are lots of good doctors tending to patients on the east side, but one of the best in the country is one who practices out of Corewell Health Beaumont Grosse Pointe Hospital in Grosse Pointe City.

Family medicine physician Dr. Kathleen Rollinger was named 2024 National Family Physician of the Year by the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians. Rollinger received her award during the ACOFP 61st Annual Convention and Scientific Seminars April 4 in New Orleans. There are more than 20,000 osteopathic physicians in the nation and only one is given this award each year. It recognizes physicians who have made outstanding contributions to their field and in their communities.

“It’s incredibly humbling,” Rollinger said. “I’m so honored.”

Rollinger, who has been practicing medicine for about 30 years, is a graduate of the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. As a doctor who has delivered babies and done geriatric care, she has tended to the needs of entire families and, in some cases, multiple generations in a family — something she said she has found very rewarding.

Dr. Natalie Madoun is in the third year of her family medicine residency, where she has studied with and been mentored by Rollinger.

“She is such an inspiration,” Madoun said. “She’s the real definition of a family medicine doctor, taking care of mom, baby (and seniors). Her relationship with her patients is extraordinary.”

REMEMBERING MARK WELLS

‘UNSUNG

HERO’ OF TEAM USA PLAYED HIS PART FOR MORE THAN JUST THE GOLD

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

In order for a team to achieve greatness, it’s vital for everyone to understand their role and play it to perfection for the welloiled machine to operate successfully.

Everyone has a part to play, starting with setting their egos aside and doing what is asked of them in order to benefit the team.

For the 1980 United States men’s Olympic hockey team, St. Clair Shores native Mark Wells did just that.

“As a player, he was as good as it gets,” said Mike Eruzione, the captain of the 1980 U.S. hockey team. “He’s another unsung hero on our hockey team. Mark was awfully good, and he had a key role in our success by just doing his job. That fourth line did a great job during the Olympics.”

Courtesy of Wells’ play alongside his linemates Phil Verchota and Eric Strobel, the U.S. outlasted some of the top teams in the world, including the Soviet Union, which dominated Olympic hockey throughout the ’60s and ’70s.

In the famous matchup with the Soviet Union in 1980, on Feb. 22 in Lake Placid, N.Y., during the medal round of the men’s hockey tournament, Wells, who was second on the team in points at Bowling Green State University the season before he joined the U.S. team, was asked to step into a certain role.

“He (Mark Wells) said, ‘Herb pulled me

over, and it was the only time in my career that (he did that),’ because my brother was a scorer,” said John Wells, the older brother of Mark Wells. “He was a better assist guy than a scorer. Herb tells him, ‘Mark, I don’t care if you get a goal in this Russian game, but I need you to help shut down (Vladimir) Petrov,’ who was just tearing the Olympics up. He was probably the best Russian. My brother said, ‘John, nobody ever told me not to try and score.’”

The rest has been covered extensively as the U.S. did the unthinkable, defeating the Soviet Union 4-3 and winning the gold medal two days later in a victory over Fin-

land. As the U.S. team dogpiled onto each other after the win over the Soviet Union, Wells’ No. 15 jersey is easily visible in the television broadcast at the center of the celebration.

It was a surreal moment for Wells, who suffered a hairline fracture in his ankle four months before the Olympics on a training run with U.S. assistant coach Craig Patrick, and was the last player added to the 1980 Olympic team roster.

Off the ice, Wells carried his selflessness on his sleeve, which made the news of

MEMORIES OF MARK WELLS

Luke LaPlant on what Wells thought of Herb Brooks: “Mark always spoke very highly of Herb (Brooks). He would never say a bad word. The only time he would really get fired up is when he would talk about the time that Herb told him he didn’t think he (Wells) had it after he broke his ankle. I believe Mark broke his ankle four months before the Olympics on a training run with Craig Patrick, and it was after an exhibition game in Oklahoma City. Mark had flown from Nova Scotia to Oklahoma City, and after the game Herb had Mark skating on the ice and said, ‘I don’t think you have it right now.’ Mark said he skated a circle around Herb and spit at his feet and said, ‘You’re not going to take my dream away from me. I’m going to make this team.’”

John Wells on the moment Wells found out he made the U.S. team: “After the period in Joe Louis Arena (during an exhibition game between the U.S. and Canada on Feb. 5), he (Mark Wells) said Herb (Brooks) comes up to him, and he doesn’t know he’s dressing yet, and he tells my brother, ‘Hey Mark, please meet me in section 356.’ That’s in the nosebleeds of Joe Louis Arena, and of course my brother told me he had no clue what was going on. Maybe he thought he was going to cut him, right? He had to cut somebody. He said, ‘I get up there,’ and he had to dress and shower, and Herb was up there waiting. My brother said that Herb told him, ‘Mark, you’re dressing,’ and he knew he meant Friday. Herb then just left. That’s all he told him. He goes, ‘Why in the hell did I have to come way up here?’ That’s just Herb.”

Mike Eruzione on favorite memory of Wells: “I think my favorite one was when he showed up the first year of the fantasy camp and he forgot his teeth, and I said, ‘Wellsy, where’s your teeth?’ He said, ‘I forgot them.’ I said, ‘Isn’t that the first thing you do in the morning is get up, put your teeth in, and brush your teeth?’ He goes, ‘Yeah, I don’t know. I just forgot.’ That was just typical Mark, and off he went, walking away laughing.”

Grosse Pointe Park shifts to monthly schedule for large brush collection

WEEKLY COLLECTION RETAINED FOR OTHER YARD WASTE

BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

PARK — Starting the week of June 3, Grosse Pointe Park is changing its curbside brush chipping service schedule from weekly to monthly.

Under the new schedule, the chipper truck will operate the first full week of each month, with the chipper following the garbage truck schedule.

Department of Public Works Director Tom Jenny said the former model required dedicating two DPW workers to chipping for four to six hours every day between April and the end of the Christmas holiday season, when discarded Christmas trees are run through the chipper.

Jenny also said the old schedule was more costly because of increased wear and tear on equipment and operationally inefficient because of inconsistent demand for chipping service.

However, Jenny said the DPW would still send the chipper out to every home after a bad storm. And, if a resident did substantial yard work and needed the city to bring the chipper to them, the resident could call the DPW and “we could get that taken care of,” Jenny said.

“It’s going to free up labor (for other work),” City Councilman Max Wiener said during a May 13 Park City Council meeting.

Jenny said not dedicating so many hours and employees per week to chipping would enable workers to tackle road repair, street sign and fire hydrant maintenance, and other critical tasks.

Wiener said the city has also gotten complaints about noise from the chipper.

City Councilman Marty McMillan was concerned about going from weekly to monthly, advocating for going to an everyother-week schedule instead. But, other officials said that chipping could and would occur in a more timely fashion, just on an as-needed basis.

“The residents can always reach out to Public Works if (they need to),” Wiener said.

Weekly yard waste collection in paper bags or designated cans will continue. The only change is that branches larger than a half inch in diameter or 4 feet or longer won’t be collected every week.

City Councilman Brent Dreaver said that most yard waste will still be picked up as

it always has been.

“We’re talking about big sticks here,” Dreaver said of the items that won’t be disposed of as frequently. “You’re still going to be able to get rid of your (smaller) sticks and things.”

Wiener said there was an Infrastructure Committee meeting coming up in the next quarter during which they could look at this again to see how the new schedule was going and if it needed to be adjusted.

Wiener said that running the chipper so frequently created a sustainability problem as well, because the motor would constantly be idling.

“I appreciate this (change) is data-driven,” City Councilman Timothy Kolar said.

He added that he was happy to learn that residents who needed the service promptly could still get it.

The council voted unanimously in favor of making the chipping schedule change May 13.

Officials said they intended to get the word out to residents via the website, email and other methods.

from page 3A

The American Osteopathic Association says on its website that only about 11% of physicians in the United States are Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, or DOs. According to the AOA website, DOs consider how lifestyle, environment and other factors can impact health and look at how addressing those issues could resolve a patient’s symptoms. While they can, and do, prescribe medicine, they’ll also see if other courses of action could give a patient relief.

“They practice medicine according to the latest science and technology, but also consider options to complement pharmaceuticals and surgery,” the AOA states.

They also receive additional training in the musculoskeletal system, which consists of the body’s linked network of nerves, bones and muscles.

“I think what attracted me was the mind-body-spirit aspect, the wholistic aspect,” Rollinger said.

Most of her hospital colleagues at Corewell are Doctors of Medicine, or MDs, but Rollinger said it has “always felt collegial.”

“I love and treasure my allopathic colleagues,” Rollinger said. “I’ve learned from them, and I hope they’ve learned from me.”

Rollinger said “caring, compassion and empathy” are crucial skills for all medical providers.

“I think that physicians need to be good listeners, no matter what (their) field of medicine,” Rollinger said.

Her patients say Rollinger is a good listener — and more.

Karen Mazzola, of St. Clair Shores, who has been going to Rollinger for the last three decades, remembers how Rollinger was there for her when Mazzola’s mother was dying and when her daughter was battling cancer, even returning calls at night.

“She definitely treats our family like family,” Mazzola said. “She’s really special.”

Mazzola said Rollinger has even at-

tended her family’s weddings and retirement parties.

“It’s nice when you see someone get recognized that deserves it,” Mazzola said. “She’s the most selfless person in the world. She’s just so caring.”

Madoun said Rollinger does home visits for patients no longer able to get to her office. On one such visit, she said a female patient with severe dementia was in a bad state when they arrived. Madoun said Rollinger put on some classic Motown music for the patient and danced with her so she could calm the woman enough to enable the doctor to do a physical exam on her.

“I have just seen her doing amazing things with the patients,” Madoun said.

Rollinger, who operates her personal practice out of an office in St. Clair Shores, grew up in Roseville and now lives in Clinton Township. She did her medical residency at Bon Secours Hospital, the predecessor to Beaumont/Corewell.

“I’m an eastsider wanting to give back to the community where I live,” Rollinger explained.

Rollinger was the first person in her family to go to medical school, but she won’t be the last. The mother of three adult children — a son and twin daughters — said Maria, one of the twins, is in her second year of studying osteopathic medicine at MSU. Daughter Elena graduated from the University of Michigan Business School with a master’s degree in accounting and son Jason works for a designer clothing company.

She said her father worked for General Motors and her mother was a homemaker.

“I felt like I would never get into medical school because I didn’t have a doctor in the family,” said Rollinger, who was nonetheless a standout student, graduating as salutatorian of her class at Roseville High School.

Despite a busy schedule as a doctor and educator, Rollinger has still found time to volunteer, including serving as a troop leader for Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan for more than a decade.

Rollinger has also volunteered for several medical trips to Peru and Guatemala with other medical professionals, who would provide dentistry, dermatology and other medical care to people who were impoverished and living in remote areas where they lacked access to these services. She found herself deeply moved by the experience.

“People would wait hours (to see the doctors),” Rollinger said. “They were so grateful. … Some of them were crying.”

Not having a patient’s medical history or access to labs tests a person’s skills as a doctor, Rollinger said.

Madoun, who went with Rollinger on a medical trip to Guatemala, said they had to make do with whatever they could bring.

“I saw her take care of patients with an ultrasound on a wooden table,” Madoun said of Rollinger.

This isn’t Rollinger’s first award. Among her many other honors are the Michigan Osteopathic Association Women of Excellence Award in May 2019, the Michigan Association of Osteopathic Family Physicians Family Physician of the Year in 2020 and the Physician of Distinction at Beaumont Hospital, Grosse Pointe, in August 2019.

Because of her knowledge and skill set, Rollinger has been tapped for a number of prominent appointments. She is currently serving on the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Physician Diversity Council and was appointed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to the state of Michigan Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Board of Osteopathic Medicine.

“She’s been a mentor, a teacher, a friend,” Madoun said. “I would be lucky to become a doctor like her. Her patients just adore her.”

Refuse Authority budget shows small increase for new fiscal year

BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

HARPER WOODS — The Grosse Pointes-Clinton Refuse Disposal Authority budget for the 2024 to 2025 fiscal year is a little higher than it was for 2023 to 2024, but otherwise remains largely a copy of its predecessor.

During a meeting May 14 in Harper Woods, the GPCRDA Board voted unanimously in favor of a budget for the new fiscal year, which starts July 1. The budget — $1,059,650 — is higher than last year’s budget of $948,300.

“There was a slight increase in the budget,” said certified public accountant Lynn Gromaski, who handles the finances for the GPCRDA, after the meeting. “It looks like (trash) tonnage has gone up slightly.”

The $3 per ton administrative fee paid by each member community — the five Grosse Pointes and Harper Woods — will remain the same. On July 1, 2017, a higher administrative fee — which rose from $1 per ton of trash to $3 per ton, for a $2 per ton increase — went into effect for the member communities, because the old fee was no longer covering expenses such as insurance and contributions to the pension system.

“I think the $3 administrative fee is covering our costs very well,” Gromaski said.

The budget includes $27,100 for the pension system, which covers employees who used to work at the GPCRDA’s former incinerator in Clinton Township. Gromaski

said they won’t know until July whether they need to make a contribution to the pension system.

Expenses related to the incinerator property — which the GPCRDA has tried for years to sell — were budgeted at $16,000 for the new fiscal year, after the $6,000 budgeted for the 2023 to 2024 fiscal year weren’t enough to pay for things like occasional lawn mowing and fencing.

Trespassing remains an ongoing problem for the GPCRDA’s long-vacant, wooded incinerator parcel, with people damaging or cutting holes in the fence to gain access to the property. Board Chair Peter Randazzo said the entire community living near the parcel knows about the property.

“It’s going to be a battle that I don’t know we’re ever going to win,” Randazzo said of keeping people off the property.

The 64-acre property has been vacant since the incinerator ceased operations in 1999. The incinerator was demolished in 2001.

GPCRDA Board member Jim Kowalski said “we probably will” need to repair or replace fencing around the property in the coming fiscal year.

GPCDRA officials are pleased with the budget.

“I couldn’t ask for a better person to handle our budget for the authority,” Randazzo said of Gromaski. “Everything went smoothly.”

his passing on May 18 in Escanaba, Mich., a devastating loss for all of those who’ve had the pleasure of watching, meeting or knowing him.

A 1975 St. Clair Shores Lake Shore High School graduate, Wells was a local legend based on his Olympic accomplishments alone, but also as a National Hockey League draftee in 1977 when the Montreal Canadiens selected him 176th overall. Wells played from 1980-1982 but was unable to suit up in an NHL game in his career. He returned home and was a restaurant manager in Rochester Hills.

After suffering a fractured vertebra, Wells was forced into early retirement by a rare spinal disease that left him bedridden for nearly nine months after surgery. He battled constant pain daily up until his passing.

The city of St. Clair Shores recognized its hometown hero in March 2014 when the Civic Arena’s Olympia Rink was renamed the Mark Wells Ice Arena.

A ceremony was held in his honor, and Wells returned the favor by making sure every attendee received a moment they’ll never forget with him.

“After that (event), he was supposed to sign autographs for an hour,” John Wells said. “It was 2014. I could not believe how many people were there. It was like, wow. I could hardly get from the entrance of the doors to the ice arena. Afterwards, we were going to meet at the Blue Goose Inn because my grandmother worked there until she was 72. We’re just going to meet there because it’s a great place, it’s in St. Clair Shores, and grandma works there. All of a sudden, it’s getting late. Mark stayed until the last kid got the signature. I think he was supposed to end the signing at 5 and I’ll bet you he stayed till 7 or 8, but he didn’t leave until the last kid.”

Wells aimed to be that kind of person with his fans, and sometimes his fans became part of his family. That was the case with Luke LaPlant, a friend of Wells in Escanaba.

LaPlant wrote a fan letter to Wells back in 2015, and in the blink of an eye he was on the phone with the gold medalist for two hours and appointed as Wells’ primary social media and fan mail executive.

“He was just a good person,” LaPlant said. “He would help countless everyday people who were maybe worse off than he was financially, and he would not want any credit for it. He would lend his car to people who needed it. He was very giving, and he cared for people.”

Wells would go live on his Facebook page, now renamed to “Remembering Mark

Wells,” in efforts to interact with fans, and LaPlant said the page continuously was stormed with messages from fans showing their love for Wells.

Since Wells’ passing, LaPlant said the outpouring of messages to the page has been overwhelmingly touching, and said it just goes to show the type of impact Wells had on his fans all over the world.

“He liked going live on his Facebook page and interacting with his fans, and we would get done with an hour chat on his page and sometimes we would privately call a fan and we would chat for 15-20 minutes, and he would tell stories,” LaPlant said. “He loved it, and the fans loved it.”

Bowling Green State University honored Wells and Ken Morrow, a Bowling Green and 1980 U.S. hockey teammate of Wells, in February 2022 with their very own custom U.S. hockey bobblehead for the hockey team’s Olympic night.

Wells was inducted into the Bowling Green Athletic Hall of Fame in 1992 after playing for the Falcons from 1975-1979.

John Wells and his wife, Nancy, were able to make the trip for the ceremony where John said a moment took place that he’ll never forget.

“At that event, this couple walks up, and they’ve talked to Mark, and they came up to me and said, ‘John, our daughter died at 12 of a very rare disease, and we said we’d like to start a foundation to get a cure, and we asked Mark if he could help,’” John Wells said. “‘If it wasn’t Mark, this would have never gotten off the ground because he gave us stuff that we could sell, and we did and we started this foundation that’s still going today because of your brother.’ I thought that it was cool for me that he did good. He cared.”

John Wells is the older brother — by 17

months — who Mark always respected and admired. Mark scored both of his Olympic goals in both games (Czechoslovakia and Norway) that John attended in Lake Placid. Mark also has a younger sister, Lori, who is 13 years younger than him.

The Wells brothers shared the ice a handful of times as teammates throughout their life, dominating the opposition as representatives of St. Clair Shores hockey.

“Our town, St. Clair Shores, was probably the best hockey town probably until Mark and I were 15, 16, or 17 years old,” John Wells said. “Your team could only be from St. Clair Shores, but we had some good teams that were competitive, even with the Canadians. Mark and I were on a team when I was 15 and he was 14, and we played in Canada probably 30 times because we had maybe two teams in Michigan that could even give us a game. Now, that team ended up having seven or eight scholarship hockey players from this little dinky town. I have no clue why that happened, but it did.”

Before Wells’ passing, it was only fitting he was able to make it back to Lake Placid one last time as the “Miracle” team held their eighth annual Miracle On Ice Fantasy Camp in early May of this year with Eruzione, Mark Johnson, John Harrington, and many other members of the 1980 team teaming up

with over 60 campers. Attendees get to play alongside their heroes over the course of a four-day camp.

“We get anywhere from 10 to 13 players to come back, and it’s always fun to go back to Lake Placid obviously, but it’s even more fun to go back and all the guys are there,” Eruzione said. “We sit in the same locker room where we dressed and just kind of share some funny stories. We have the most immature, 60-plus-year-old men you’d ever want to be around. We’re like little kids when we get together.”

While Wells was unable to play, he served as the camp commissioner each year while also supplying plenty of laughs to his former teammates.

That’s what Wells did best: He put smiles on everyone’s faces around him.

“As a person, he’s very unique,” Eruzione said. “He’s a character. He was a funny, funny guy. Sometimes when we get together to do a Q&A and Wellsy gets a question, you have got to take the mic away from him because he’ll just keep talking, but in a good way. We love Mark. He was a great teammate. He was somebody who cared a lot about people. Not just our team, but in general. He was a very generous man. He helped a lot of different people for a lot of different causes in the Michigan area.”

Market

have about 16 vendors providing fresh bread, produce and other staples to meet the needs of families in the community.

“I think it (says) a lot about the community that we were able to get vendors for the first year,” Crouse said, acknowledging that such markets are held across the area and it can be challenging to find vendors who are available to set up a booth.

The Park farmers market has been established as a nonprofit which, according to its agreement with the city, has the mission of “inspiring the community through an inclusive, family-friendly market that showcases high quality, locally made food.”

City Councilman Max Wiener said he understood market organizers had been discussing this initiative with businesses in the area, something he told them, “I urge you to continue.”

an auction and more. All ticket sales, as well as a portion of bar sales, will go directly to the Bremers.

“They’ve touched almost every Grosse Pointe,” Park Sgt. Rob Ruggero said of the Bremers, who have worked in four of the five Grosse Pointe public safety departments.

Adam Bremer said Erin was diagnosed with breast cancer roughly a year ago. Then, the couple learned that the cancer had spread to her brain, forcing her to undergo emergency brain surgery to remove a couple of tumors. Erin Bremer’s strength was apparent when she emerged from brain surgery immediately able to converse with her doctor — something the doctor said wasn’t typical. The Bremers have since learned that the cancer has also spread to Erin’s liver and bones.

“She’s a very strong person,” Adam Bremer said. “She’s a very loving person. She’s a very caring person. She’s a fighter, through and through.”

Adam Bremer said that although they know metastatic breast cancer will “never go away” — his wife will likely need to remain on chemotherapy for the rest of her life — “We’re staying positive.”

The couple recently celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary and had dated for

Schneider said they want to be good neighbors.

“We want it to be good for the businesses, too,” Schneider said.

City Manager Nick Sizeland asked organizers to be mindful of residents in that general area as well.

“It’s about building community,” said City Councilman Timothy Kolar, adding that restoring a farmers market to the Park was one of his goals as a council member.

The council voted unanimously May 13 in favor of an agreement with market organizers to allow them to use the city lot for the market. Kolar, who said he’s a board member of the Park farmers market, recused himself from the vote.

“Thank you,” City Councilman Brent Dreaver told market organizers. “And I can’t wait.”

Others echoed that sentiment.

“Looking forward to it,” City Councilman Marty McMillan said.

about three years before that. Despite the dire diagnosis, Erin Bremer is determined to survive, and Adam intends to be with her every step of the way. Erin Bremer has two young adult children from a previous marriage who Adam said are also lending their help and support.

“We’re going to get through this,” Adam Bremer said.

While Adam Bremer has had to take time off to take care of his wife or take her to doctor’s appointments, he’s still regularly on the beat, and Ruggero said he continues to give the job his all.

“He still comes in with a smile every day,” Ruggero said. “He still gives the same level of service.”

Those who’d like to help but can’t attend the fundraiser can drop off donations for Bremer at any time to the Park Public Safety Department, where they’re maintaining a regular collection. They can also give via Adam Bremer’s Venmo account; a QR code linking to his account can be found on the Grosse Pointe Park Department of Public Safety Facebook page.

“So many people have been really great so far — donating and (sharing) words of encouragement and support,” Adam Bremer said.

Car show

from page 1A

EyesOn Design at Ford House unique among car shows anywhere,” EyesOn Design Chair Kathy Pecar Lightbody said by email. “This is more true than ever in 2024, with our theme of ‘Design Masters: A Lifetime of Design Achievement’ and a field of vehicles designed by previous winners of the EyesOn Design Lifetime Design Achievement Award.”

Vehicles are coming from across the country and even across the world this year. All are chosen by automotive designers and appear at EyesOn Design by invitation only.

“For many people, this will be the only opportunity to see these vehicles,” Hessburg said. “I think (this year’s show) is going to top anything we’ve ever done.”

The popular optional Private Eyes Brunch, which runs from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. June 16 at the Ford House, includes admission to the car show; the cost is $100 for adults and $40 for children under age 10.

One of the highlights this year at EyesOn Design will be the McLaren F1, a legendary sports car and the subject of this year’s EyesOn Design poster, which was painted by Nicolas Rousselet.

Another vehicle generating buzz is the very rare 1957 D-Type Jaguar, the original factory team car from the years that Jaguar won the LeMans 24-hour endurance race for three straight years.

Still another of this year’s highlights is a 1939 Bugatti that had a chassis but was never fitted for a body because Jean Bugatti, Ettore Bugatti’s son, was killed in an accident before he could finish designing it. Car collector Peter Mullin purchased the 1939 Bugatti Type 64 chassis in 2003 and worked with EyesOn Design Lifetime Design Achievement Award winner Stewart Reed and Kimball, Michiganbased Automobile Metal Shaping to complete the project, using techniques from the period and hand-forming the vehicle’s body over a mahogany buck. The completed but unpainted car will be shown at EyesOn Design.

Before he died in September 2023, Mullin was quoted as saying, “I cannot imagine a greater token of respect to the Bugatti family than to help finish Jean Bugatti’s beloved final masterpiece.”

The 1919 Pierce-Arrow Model 66 Touring car, which kickstarted the career of famed General Motors designer Harley Earl — who designed this vehicle for silent film star Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle — is another of the vehicles that will be on view.

Hessburg said people come from across the country for EyesOn Design, which he said is the only remaining major car show

in southeast Michigan and offers one of the most unique lineups of vehicles people will see anywhere.

“If you are a car lover — and there certainly are a lot around — you should not miss this show,” Hessburg said.

Besides the car show, there are several other EyesOn Design events over Father’s Day weekend, all of which require advance reservations. A 75-mile driving tour of southeast Michigan followed by lunch will take place from 8:30 a.m. to noon June 14, at a cost of $95 per person. The black-tie optional Vision Honored: EyesOn Design Lifetime Design Achievement Award presentation will be from 6:30 to 10 p.m. June 14 at the M1 Concourse in Pontiac, at a cost of $225 per person; this year’s honoree is Gordon Murray, the executive chair of Gordon Murray Design and a renowned vehicle designer and engineer whose work includes the McLaren F1. The symposium, “Ford GT Design: Inspired by the Past, Focused on the Future” will be held from 9 to 11:30 a.m. June 15 at the Automotive Hall of Fame in Dearborn, at a cost of $50 per person, which includes admission to the Automotive Hall of Fame. It coincides with the 60th anniversary of the GT, which debuted in 1964.

The EyesOn Design car show and related events are fundraisers for the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology, which is based in Grosse Pointe Park and provides programs and services for blind and visually impaired individuals in the region. The DIO is also the research arm of Henry Ford Health.

In addition, EyesOn Design is a critical fundraiser for the DIO’s biennial research congresses — The Eye and the Chip, about artificial vision, and The Eye, the Brain and the Auto — which take place on alternate years. The congresses have been taking

“Support groups have a huge role when we see somebody who’s losing their vision and there’s nothing we can do about it,” said Hessburg, a retired eye doctor. “To put them in a support group with people who’ve been down this road before is very important.”

Over the last 37 years, Hessburg said, EyesOn Design has raised more than $4 million for the DIO and the research congresses.

“EyesOn Design is a lot more than a really great car show,” said Dr. David Goldman, director of the DIO and a senior staff ophthalmologist with Henry Ford Health, during an EyesOn Design event in February. “It’s an opportunity to advance medicine to find a cure for blindness.”

place for more than 20 years. Bringing international researchers together has enabled them to share their findings and collaborate, something that has led to important breakthroughs and findings.

The work of the DIO includes organizing multiple support groups around metro Detroit for the blind and visually impaired.

Tickets to EyesOn Design can be purchased at the gate for $40 per person. Children under age 10 will be admitted for free with an adult, and active-duty military service members can receive free admission by showing their identification. The Ford House is located at 1100 Lake Shore Road in Grosse Pointe Shores. For advance reservations or more information about EyesOn Design or any of the related events, visit eyesondesign.org or call the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology at (313) 824-4710.

THE FOLLOWING IS PART OF C & G NEWSPAPERS’ FEATURE SERIES ABOUT NORTHERN MICHIGAN DESTINATIONS FOR READERS TO EXPLORE.

OFF-ROADING UP NORTH

BY GREG TASKER

CADILLAC — It’s a warm spring morning, and the forest floor is erupting in green and budding trees are exploding in hues of yellow and red, a colorful, seasonal shift that would entice any outdoor enthusiast into the woods.

Normally, that’d be a cue to hike, but instead I am watching a parade of off-road vehicles gear up to explore a newly mapped out “ride” on rural county and U.S. forest service roads in and around the Manistee National Forest.

One by one the off-road vehicles disappear through awakening trees and beyond the kiosks marking the Caberfae Trailhead Staging Area. Just down the road from the popular ski resort Caberfae Peaks, this trailhead is one of the designated starting points of Cadillac’s new 100-plusmiles-long ORV Scenic Ride.

I’m not quite sold on ORVs as a means to explore the outdoors — they do make noise — but I’m willing to give this fast-growing recreational sport a whirl.

Off-roading

Hopping on a side-by-side with volunteer Kris Thorsen at the wheel, we trek along an off-shoot from the main stretch, thick with trees and occasional puddles. Thorsen gingerly maneuvers the mud and small pools of water, keeping his passengers dry and clean. Up ahead, as the ride winds east and then north toward Mesick, the terrain will become more rugged, steeper in spots, and wetter.

“It’s a beautiful, fun ride to Mesick,” says Thorsen, a retired home builder who traverses these woods frequently on sideby-sides with his children. “It’s pretty much all in the Manistee National Forest and will take a couple of hours to get there. “There are many reasons to get outside and see how pretty the forest is, how vast it is.”

Thorsen, who lives nearby and helps groom winter trails for snowmobilers, says interest in off-roading has exploded in recent years and is helping bolster the local tourist economy. His hope is many offroaders will come to experience the beauty of northern Michigan and to spend time outdoors. He concedes, however, that some

pursue off-roading to simply to feel the rush of power and speed

Cadillac’s ORV Scenic Ride is the culmination of two years of planning and work by the Cadillac Area Visitors Bureau and a host of others, including the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Forest Service.

The ORV Scenic Ride is not a “route” or “trail” as designated by the forest service or the Department of Natural Resources. Instead, it’s a recommended ride providing an easy-to-navigate, enjoyable excursion through the mostly wooded terrain west of Cadillac.

The ride stretches in all directions beyond the Caberfae Trailhead Staging Area, snaking as far north as Mesick and the Big Manistee River and southwest over the Pine River into Lake County. Riders are encouraged to stop at natural spots like the Caberfae Overlook, a tower that stands above tree line overlooking the ski resort, and restaurants and other businesses — all noted on maps.

Helping newcomers and others navigate the ride are kiosks at key intersections and others at businesses with maps, safety education and responsible recreation messages. There is a heavy emphasis on Leave

No Trace principles.

“We want people to tread lightly or this won’t last,” Thorsen warns.

It’s all part of a broader effort by the Cadillac Area Visitors Bureau to promote Wexford County as an off-road vehicle destination. Cadillac, of course, has long been a snowmobiling destination but undependable winter weather has impacted that slice of the region’s economic pie.

For off-road enthusiasts, the appeal is clear. It’s a chance to delve deep and far into the forest and, in this case, enjoy the beauty of the expansive Manistee National Forest, whose footprint encompasses parts of nine counties. This forest of hardwoods and pines is also popular with hikers, fishermen, campers, boaters and others.

“There are some areas of the (ORV Scenic Ride) where you can get near the Pine River and you can also get near some of the lakes,” says Pete Finch, the owner of the nearby Coyote Crossing Resort who frequently takes his Jeep off-roading.

Finch, whose resort is on the ORV Scenic Ride, talks to a lot of off-roaders who pop into his restaurant, hungry for hamburgers or chicken strips and French fries.

“Our Bang Bang Shrimp — a spicy fried shrimp — is really popular,” he says.

For Finch, one of the standout features of the ORV Scenic Ride is how well it’s mapped out with markers and kiosks along the way.

“A lot of people don’t want to stray from a map. This provides a sense of safety and security,” Finch says, stressing, too, the importance of recreating in a safe manner and adhering to Leave No Trace principles.

Libby Doering, owner of Bigfoot Epic Adventures, which rents off-road vehicles, says her fleet of side-by-sides have navigation systems, which ease the concerns of customers who may fear getting lost. She provides customers with safety and ride orientation and outfits them with safety gear — helmets and goggles.

“People have commented that the navigation system really helped them out and made it easy,” she says. “People come back saying they’ve had a wonderful experience.”

My experience on a side-by-side in the Manistee National Forest was limited, and while I can’t say that I’m hooked, I would give off-roading another shot. I love the idea of traveling deeper in the woods — at a faster clip than my hiking boots allow — to cover more ground and to soak in more nature. It’s definitely worth another whirl.
