State of the City address

BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

ROCHESTER — A packed room of community members gathered at The Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm May 20 to hear Mayor Stuart Bikson share a positive outlook for the city in his State of the City address.

Bikson has been serving on the Rochester City Council since 1999 and is currently serving his 10th term as mayor.

“In his day job, he is a teacher at Waterford Mott. He teaches economics and government, so I think, since 1999, we have probably been providing case studies for his students,” joked Nancy Salvia as she introduced him to the crowd.

Bikson said that this past year has brought “great

RHS theater director to close the curtain after 40 years

BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

OAKLAND TOWNSHIP — After 40 years with the district, Rochester High School Theater Director Frank Gollon is retiring.

“It’s hard to believe it’s been that long, but as the old saying goes, ‘Time flies when you’re having fun’ — and I’ve been having a blast,” he said.

Gollon began working with Rochester Community Schools in 1983 as a substitute teacher and signed on that

year to help out with the RHS theater department as a technical director. The next year, it was announced mid-year that the theater director was retiring.

The theater students, particularly the seniors, begged Gollon to take over so they could perform in their last musical.

“They were asking me to take on a big challenge,” he recalled.

Although Gollon had theater experience, he had never directed a show before. With the encouragement of a friend

Highlanders cap off unforgettable boys volleyball season with trip to final four

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

ROCHESTER HILLS — For the past several years, it’s been the girls who have integrated into the male-dominated sports in efforts to show their capability and just how talented they can be.

With hockey, lacrosse, flag football last year, and even wrestling starting to make some strong waves, high school girls have fought to compete in sports they’re passionate about.

Rochester Rocket League squad reaches Final Four in MHSEL state finals

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

ROCHESTER HILLS — In its first official year as a program, Rochester High School esports reached the state semifinals stage at the Michigan High School Esports League spring state finals April 27 at Oakland University.

Rochester knocked off Flat Rock, New Baltimore Anchor Bay, and Macomb Dakota High School to earn a state semifinals matchup with Linden High School, but the journey would end there for the squad.

“The team’s chemistry is our strength,” Rochester head coach Nicholas Banks said in an emailed response. “Our players haven’t been playing together for long, but they have all been friends for a while. How well they get along outside of the game has been carried over into the game. From there you could definitely see how they work as a team. They all hold themselves accountable when making mistakes and talk with each other about how to prevent that mistake from happening again,” said coach Nicholas Banks.

Rochester Hills man accused of confronting driver with knife in road rage incident

BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

ROCHESTER HILLS — A 33-yearold man from Rochester Hills is facing felony charges after allegedly pulling a knife on a driver during a road rage incident in Macomb Township.

Ryan Borella was arraigned in 41A1 District Court in Shelby Township on one count of carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent and two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, according to the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office. Bond was set at $20,000 cash/surety.

The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office said the incident happened May 18 in the area of North Avenue and 26 Mile Road.

A 63-year-old man from Roseville told

police he was driving his SUV on North Avenue when another driver, unable to merge, began driving his truck erratically, passing multiple vehicles in the southbound lanes while traveling northbound. The other driver then reportedly passed the SUV before stopping at a red light at 24 Mile Road, exiting his truck and approaching the other driver with a knife.

The driver said that he and a passenger, a 38-year-old woman, both feared for their safety.

Authorities identified and arrested Borella and recovered a knife in his truck.

Borella did not have an attorney on file at press time.

Library challenges patrons with 100 days of summer reading

BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

ROCHESTER — In honor of its 100th anniversary, the Rochester Hills Public Library is challenging community members to read for 100 days this summer.

The library opened registration for its summer reading program earlier than ever before, on May 3, but the official kickoff event will be held noon-2 p.m. June 8 at the library. Patrons can visit a nonprofit fair in the multipurpose room to learn more about services and volunteer opportunities in the community, play old-timey games courtesy of the Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm, and enjoy sweet treats and surprise giveaways.

The only rule for summer reading is to read every day — whether it’s an article, a book, an e-book, an audiobook, a graphic novel, a magazine or even a cereal box — and track the progress online to earn virtual reading badges for the chance to win prizes. Reading badges earn entries for the endof-summer grand prize drawing. For every activity badge earned, readers can place a

sticker on the sign to show off their summer reading skills.

“We, basically, encourage people to read every day during the summer — that allows each individual family to kind of set their own goals,” said Betsy Raczkowski, the head of communications and community engagement.

The summer reading program allows patrons to enjoy books of their choice, at their own pace, and it also helps youth maintain their reading levels.

“We really want to stress the idea of reading for fun and reading for entertainment and enjoyment to keep that interest alive,” Raczkowski added.

Reading and lifelong learning are priorities at the library, according to Library Director Juliane Morian.

“The library’s strategic plan highlights and supports learners of all ages, along with nurturing young minds and helping patrons find joy and discovery at the library. Summer reading is a perfect time to discover all the library has to offer, inside and out,” she said in a statement.

To register for summer reading, vis-

it rhpl.beanstack.org or download the Beanstack app and sign up using an active library card. Households can make one account and add readers all in one spot. Library staff encourage parents of children participating to register themselves first and then add readers to their accounts.

Upon signing up, all participants are also eligible for a free “Spread Your Library Love” lawn sign and stickers pack, which, if displayed at their residence, could earn them a prize from the library’s prize patrol.

“There are still a lot of people who think the summer reading program is just for kids, but we have great participation from adults. For parents, it’s important to model reading for their children, but for adults, who maybe don’t have children, it’s also a really nice way to expand your horizons and continue learning, even when you’re not in school,” said Mary Davis, the head of adult services.

In addition to being eligible for the grand prizes, everyone who participates in the library’s summer reading challenge through Aug. 10 will also receive a free book.

The Rochester Hills Public Library is located at 500 Olde Towne Road in down-

town Rochester. For more information, call (248) 656-2900, visit www.rhpl.org or email help@rhpl.org.

e Whole-Body MRI Debate: Are Doctors Missing Something?

(South eld, MI) e recent buzz around full-body MRI screenings has sparked a lot of debate. While some question this approach, the controversy itself signals an advance in how we think about proactive health. It means we’re not just waiting around for symptoms when it might be too late.

Full body screenings use MRI technology to scan from the top of the head through the pelvis looking for potential abnormalities and early signs of diseases like cancer.

Tyler, age 52, lost his grandfather to lymphoma, so when the results of his full body MRI highlighted enlarged lymph nodes in his chest it gave him concern. “I felt completely healthy, but I wanted to be proactive so I did the scan. My results were concerning, so I saw an oncologist who ordered additional testing.”

e controversy comes from MRI body scans producing false positives. ese ndings are eventually proven

to be benign. Critics claim that false positives create unnecessary worry for people and needless follow up tests.

Tyler says he would rather be safe than sorry. “I hear some doctors on TV saying not to do get full body screenings, but why wouldn’t you? It’s about taking control of your health and being proactive. I had some follow up tests to make sure I don’t have cancer – big deal. But what if it turned out to be cancer?

en it’s caught as early as possible, and without this scan I never would have known until it was too late!”

Proponents of MRI full body screenings say that false positives should not outweigh the bene ts, stating that early detection is key to easier treatments and better outcomes.

“Early detection saves lives,” says Ryan Ringold who leads the MRI full body screening center in South eld, called Bionicc Body Screening. His father, the late Dr. Ringold, founded the company after battling cancer – twice. “My father

became short of breath one day and discovered he had stage four cancer with tumors as large as softballs inside of him. He endured brutal treatments and never wanted to see others su er because of late detection,” says Ryan.

MRI does not replace annual physicals nor routine screenings like a colonoscopy or mammogram. Although, it may be surprising to learn that routine screenings only cover 29% of cancers and 71% of cancers occur in other areas.

“ is is an additional tool to be proactive. MRI can reduce the enormous blind spot where cancer may be silently growing. ere are no routine screenings for areas like the pancreas, liver, brain, chest or abdomen,” says Ringold. “My father was oblivious to hundreds of tumors growing inside his body and his story is not unique. You rarely hear of someone getting diagnosed with stage one pancreatic cancer because nobody knows until they have symptoms. By that time, it’s almost always stage

four.”  In addition to tumors, MRI can detect hundreds of abnormalities like brain aneurysms, MS, fatty liver and spinal disc disease to name a few. “It’s quite remarkable,” Ringold adds.

Robert B. credits his scan to saving his life. A full-body MRI caught the kidney tumor his CT scan missed. “I consider it a lifesaver,” he says. Stories like these highlight the power of MRI body screenings.

The debate over full-body MRIs heats up as some doctors criticize the scans, while others quietly get them done.

SHERIFF’S OFFICE

OFFERS FREE TRIGGER LOCKS TO PROMOTE FIREARM SAFETY

OAKLAND COUNTY — Residents are encouraged to store their firearms safely and obtain free trigger locks from the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office to prevent unwanted access to a firearm.

“We are pleased to provide these gun locks, not only to our partner police agencies, but to continue distributing them at no cost to the community,” Sheriff Michael Bouchard said in a statement. “We have distributed gun locks for many years. It is one easy way to secure weapons, and it is now required in certain circumstances under a recently enacted state law.”

The trigger locks are available at all Sheriff’s Office substations or the Sheriff’s Office headquarters at 1200 N. Telegraph on the Oakland County government complex. They were provided for distribution by the Detroit VA Healthcare System. The locks are also available at most local law enforcement agencies.

State law, which took effect in February, requires the following:

An individual who stores or leaves a firearm unattended on premises under the individual’s control, and who knows or reasonably should know that a minor is, or is likely to be, present on the premises, shall do 1 or more of the following:

Store the firearm in a locked box or container.

Keep the firearm unloaded and lock the firearm with a locking device that is properly engaged to render the firearm inoperable by any individual other than the owner or an authorized user.

Student to be assessed after drawing pictures of guns in school

ROCHESTER HILLS — The school resource officer at Avondale Middle School was made aware of some drawings by a student that concerned school staff at 2:30 p.m. May 1. The school resource officer gathered further information and discovered the drawings were of firearms. The school counselor interviewed the student, a 14-year-old boy from Auburn Hills, while the SRO stood by. The student stated that the firearms he sketched were concepts for video games. The student’s parents were called to the school. The father stated there were no firearms in the home. A check showed no firearms registered to the father. The father advised that his child had an evaluation coming up for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and autism spectrum disorder. The student was sent home for violation of the school code of conduct and was advised that he could not return to school until a threat assessment was completed.

Drunken driver arrested

ROCHESTER — An officer conducting radar enforcement in the area of Main and Romeo observed a vehicle traveling southbound at 35 mph in a 25 mph zone at around 2:40 a.m. May 25. The officer followed the vehicle and saw it swerve out of its lane multiple times. The officer conducted a traffic stop and saw an open bottle of alcohol on the floor next to the passenger, who was taken into custody.

The officer also observed signs of impairment on the driver. The driver failed field sobriety tasks and a preliminary breath test showed a 0.144% blood alcohol content. Both the driver and the passenger were lodged until sober and were released with a citation for a pending court date.

Items stolen from storage unit found at Rochester Hills property

ROCHESTER HILLS — Deputies responded to a storage facility in the 2500 block of Crooks for the report of a breaking and entering of a storage unit at 10:28 a.m. April 27.

The victim reported that he had not been to his storage unit since September 2023, and when he arrived, his key would not open the lock. The victim cut the lock

and found that his unit had been ransacked. He reported multiple items missing, such as an ATV, power tools, a Blackstone grill, and lawn furniture.

Police believe a 48-year-old man from Rochester Hills cut the owner’s lock off, stole the property, and then put a new lock on the unit. The theft occurred sometime over a seven-month period, and no physical evidence was obtained.

Detectives developed a suspect from a previous case and obtained consent to search his property on Eastwood in Rochester Hills.

Detectives recovered most of the stolen property, which was returned to the victim. A warrant request was submitted for additional charges.

Car stolen, recovered from dealership

ROCHESTER

HILLS

— Deputies were dispatched to Serra Ford for a report of damage to an overhead door at 3:19 a.m.

May 1. A DoorDash driver was in the area and noticed glass in the roadway on Rochester Road and an overhead door broken at the Serra Ford dealership.

The same witness then came across an abandoned Chevrolet Silverado at the corner of Hampton Circle and Barclay Circle, a short distance from the dealership. She noticed the vehicle did not have a plate and

had Serra Ford stickers consistent with a used vehicle.

Deputies responded to Serra Ford and confirmed the damage from a breaking and entering. An initial investigation showed that the Silverado had been parked inside a service bay at the dealership. The suspects gained entry to the dealership by breaking out a window of an overhead door. The Silverado was then backed out through a closed overhead door. K-9 units did a track, but were unsuccessful.

Minutes prior to the call, deputies had a call of two suspicious subjects at the Rochester Hills Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealership. One suspect was described as wearing a red hoodie and black joggers with a white stripe, and the second subject was wearing a black sweatshirt and black pants. The investigation is ongoing.

Car stolen from dealership ROCHESTER HILLS

ing to a Rochester Hills resident. They then entered a 2017 Cadillac XT5 service vehicle belonging to the dealership, and drove the vehicle through the service bay door and off the property in an unknown direction.

Man found unresponsive in car

ROCHESTER HILLS — Deputies were dispatched to the 2900 block of Rochester Road for a possible car fire with an unresponsive driver at 8:52 p.m. May 1. A blue Ford Escape was against the curb with the vehicle running in gear and the accelerator pressed. The driver, an 86-year-old man from Rochester Hills, was unresponsive. Deputies gained access by breaking the passenger window and turned it off. Rochester Hills Fire transported the driver to the hospital. Byers towed the vehicle. A deputy was transported via Rochester Hills Fire to the hospital for glass in his eyes.

Drone helps find lost man

ROCHESTER HILLS — Deputies became aware that a man was disoriented/ lost and in medical distress at 1:04 a.m. May

3. Live911 indicated the subject was inside Flynn Park and Sanctuary Lake Golf Course in Troy.

Troy police were also made aware of the incident. The first deputy to hear the Live911 transmission immediately deployed a drone to search the area for the subject. A heat signature was quickly found. Deputies and officers from the Troy Police Department began to search the wooded area with guidance from the drone operator. Information was also received that the subject’s phone was “pinging” to the same area being checked.

The subject was found in a densely wooded area along a fence line, between the golf course and Troy Beaumont Hospital. The subject, a 43-year-old man from Shelby Township, was transported to the hospital for treatment.

Driver caught with suspended license

ROCHESTER — An officer on patrol in the area of Main and Third conducted a license check on a vehicle that revealed the driver/registered owner had a suspended license at approximately 11:30 p.m. May 29.

The officer conducted a traffic stop and arrested the driver, who was taken to the police station and was released with a citation.

economic growth” to the city.

“By everybody working together, we can create great things in our city,” he said.

Over the past year, Bikson said, the community has “come together in very impressive ways” and he cited defeating a ballot proposal on marijuana dispensaries in downtown last fall, and most recently, handling a propane tank explosion.

Downtown, he said, is “successful,” neighborhoods are “thriving,” and the city’s government is “strong.”

A recent study rated Rochester as the second safest city in Michigan, Bikson said.

“Our crime rate is virtually nonexistent, and we are working hard to keep it that way, and our percentage of police to the number of residents is one of the highest in the state,” he explained. “Strong policing leads to a safe city, and we are committing our city resources to keep our city safe.”

The Rochester Fire Department, which Bikson said has state-of-the art advanced life support services, gives the city “world-class emergency services.”

“Our response times are some of the shortest in Michigan,” he said.

Downtown Rochester is “thriving and has never been busier,” according to Bikson, who boasted its 97% occupancy rate. Rochester has been consistently voted one of the top downtowns in America and has received its 19th consecutive accreditation from Main Street Oakland County for its Main Street programs.

“We are committed, as a City Council, to making our downtown safe, attractive

and a great place to have a business,” he said.

Bikson announced a new addition to the downtown, Market + The Graham — which will transform the farmer’s market parking lot and the former Animal Emergency Center at 265 E. Second St. into a year-round market and event space. The city plans to add 2,000 square feet of space to the already 5,000-square-foot building, which will include a year-round market and event space, restrooms, a small market office, storage, outdoor seating, and a covered stage area for entertainment and public display.

“This project required the city and the DDA to work together to create a unique space,” he said.

Bikson also touted the city’s financial strength — noting that the city has had a balanced budget every year he has been on council, maintains an “excellent” fund balance, has “well-funded” its retirement investments, maintained its AAA bond rating through some difficult economic years, and

has “a balanced and strong” three-year budget.

“I believe our strong fiscal management of the city has allowed us to navigate difficult times with very little disruption in city services or in our long range planning,” he said.

There is also economic growth and prosperity in the town, Bikson shared, with new apartment and condo complexes coming to the city, as well as many new investments in single family homes and existing businesses and properties.

He said residential real estate is booming, with record high sales prices. Many new houses are being built, and many more are being renovated. The recent average median sales price of a home in Rochester is almost $580,000, according to Bikson, who also said that next year, the city’s taxable value for all of its real estate will be over $1 billion. This year, he said, the city already has almost $30 million in renovations of homes and businesses.

Rochester, he said, will spend millions to continue to improve its infrastructure — including $8 million to improve the city’s drinking water system and millions more to maintain the city’s roads.

“Improving and maintaining our infrastructure remains a core goal of our City Council,” he said.

He also highlighted a few “exciting” upcoming projects and new businesses — including the upcoming renovation of The Community House; a new skateboard park by the DPW building; The Granary apartments on the site of the Rochester Elevator; The Preserves and 210 Diversion Street, which will bring apartments to the south part of the city; the expansion of St. John Lutheran School and Church; two new allabilities playgrounds in Rochester Municipal Park; and others.

“I believe the coming year will be an excellent year for the great city of Rochester,” he said.

Gollon

who served as the school’s band director at the time, he decided to give it a shot. That very first musical was one of his most memorable.

“It was closing night, and I was backstage watching the kids take their bow when I realized, yes, this is what I want to do for the rest of my career,” he said.

Gollon has many memories from behind the stage over the years — including proposing to his wife during curtain call.

“We dropped a banner down that said, ‘Will you marry me?’ and she came out onstage, of course. Fortunately, she said yes, so I didn’t have to run out of there embarrassed,” he said with a chuckle.

In late April, Gollon directed his 40th and final high school musical, “Noises Off” at Rochester High.

“Closing night was a bit emotional. There were a lot of alumni that came back to celebrate my final performance here, so that was really special,” he said. “It was bittersweet and even surreal.”

On June 1, past and present theater students came together to celebrate their director with a surprise performance titled “Mr. Gollon’s Opus.”

Gollon said the Opus was an overwhelming experience.

“The cards, emails, videos and in-person testimonials provided a validation that I never dreamed of. My hope was always to create an environment, much like the one I had, where every student felt welcome and supported, allowing them to explore their creative abilities and develop their confidence in whatever future endeavors they may

pursue. After Saturday, I can confidently say that I succeeded, and it is my hope that all of my students will pay it forward,” he said.

Over the years, Gollon strived to make the theater program supportive and welcoming of everyone in the building.

“Having so many students be able to find a place here has been awesome,” he said “I’ve really enjoyed all the years seeing students, in many cases, come out of their shell and really find something magical within them — that either allowed them to play a character or share their singing voices or dancing ability — not only on the acting side, but also on the technical side too. I have former students who are now working as costume designers and lighting designers and set designers, and serving as roadies for national tours and things,” he said.

One of them is Justin Morck. After

Off.”

graduating from RHS in 2002, Morck went to college in NYC, earning a bachelor’s in theater. He currently works as an actor, director and producer in Los Angeles.

“I truly thank Mr. G for igniting that initial fire that still burns today. This is a tough business, and the motivation to keep going starts with being inspired and educated. His teachings helped me learn that being an actor wasn’t just about memorizing lines or being on a stage, it was about understanding the human condition and finding the courage to express yourself. The empowerment he gave by pushing my creativity, encouraging my ideas, and showing me that mistakes were simply opportunities for growth is a continual lesson I still carry with me today in my career. A career that he continues to encourage to this day as an adult,” Morck said in an email.

Morck, along with a group of RHS alumni, recently nominated Gollon for the Tony Awards 2024 Excellence in Education Award and learned he received an honorable mention.

“The things we learn in High School theater can influence the story of the rest of your life. He was the core to mine. I cannot thank him enough or be prouder to have been one of his students,” Morck said in an email.

Joanna Pillsbury, the district’s Summer Music Theater director, said Gollon leaves an “enduring legacy” through his theatrical productions.

“His unparalleled vision and unwavering commitment to artistic excellence has shaped the cultural landscape of RHS, fostering a tradition of creativity and passion that will be celebrated for generations to come,” she said in a statement. “Frank is the heart and soul of the program at RHS and he will be missed in his role as a director and technical theater god.”

Neil DeLuca, executive director of secondary education said the district congratulated Frank Gollon on his many years of dedicated service to the school community.

“Whether a student was interested in performing as an actor, musician, dancer, or member of the chorus, cast or stage crew, Frank always inspired them to find their place. We are extremely proud of his contributions to Rochester Community Schools,” DeLuca said.

In his retirement, Gollon — who also taught English — plans to travel and enjoy life with his wife, who is also retiring in June.

“It’s been a great run, as they say in the theater business, but other adventures await,” he said.

HOMES

HAVE A PLAN AND BE READY BEFORE SEVERE WEATHER ROLLS IN

BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Although severe thunderstorms are a common occurrence in Michigan, many homeowners aren’t prepared.

Extreme weather can hit at any time — bringing heavy rain, flooding, lightning, damaging winds, large hail and even tornadoes. On average, Michigan has 15 tornadoes per year, according to state officials, who said the average lead time for a tornado warning is 10 to 15 minutes.

In the past 10 months, Michigan has had tornado outbreaks twice. The National Weather Service confirmed seven tornadoes touched down in Michigan on Aug. 24, 2023 — the most tornadoes in a single day during the month of August. One tornado touched down in Ingham and Livingston counties, three hit Wayne County, two touched down in Monroe County and another hit in Kent County.

Most recently, four tornadoes touched down in Kalamazoo, St. Joseph, Cass and Branch counties on the night of May 7, according to the National Weather Service, prompting Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to declare a state of emergency in those areas.

“In the last 10 months, we’ve had very real lessons that tornadoes can and do happen here in Michigan, and they can happen at different times of the year … so having a plan and being prepared is definitely key,” said Lauren Thompson Phillips, public information officer for Michigan State Police Emergency Management and Homeland Security.

One of the main things people should be aware of is the difference between a watch and a warning for severe weather.

“If you are hearing there’s a watch, that means conditions are right for severe weather. But if you’re hearing there’s a warning, that means that severe weather is coming, or a tornado has been spotted, so you better

take cover,” Phillips said.

Whenever the thunder roars, it’s important to get indoors — whether that be a building, or, if none are nearby, a car — and remember to close all doors, windows and blinds.

If you’re outside with no place to shelter, experts say to seek low ground away from trees and metal objects.

In the event of a tornado, get to a basement or storm cellar. If there’s no basement, head to a small, interior room on the lowest level, making sure to stay away from windows, doors and outside walls.

Wherever you plan to take cover, you should store a home emergency kit — a collection of basic items that your household may need in the event of an emergency.

During and after severe weather, you and your family might need to survive on your own for several days, so having a threeday supply of food, water and other items is a necessity.

A basic emergency supply kit should include: a 72-hour supply of water, which is at least 1 gallon of water per person per day for drinking and sanitation needs; at least a three-day supply of nonperishable food per person; a manual can opener to open canned goods; a first aid kit; moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation; and household chlorine bleach and a medicine dropper to disinfect water.

The kit should also contain some basic tools and equipment including: a multitool, wrench or pliers to turn off utilities; a battery-powered or hand-cranked radio or a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert; extra batteries; a flashlight; local maps; paper and pencils; a whistle to signal for help; matches in a waterproof container; a fire extinguisher; a dust mask to help filter contaminated air; and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter in place.

Because every household is different, additional items can be added to your kit based on your individual needs, including:

Weather

prescription medications; glasses and contact lens solution; infant formula, bottles, diapers, wipes and diaper rash cream; pet food and water; feminine supplies and personal hygiene items; a complete change of clothing appropriate for your climate; sturdy shoes; and maybe even some activities for children.

Cash or traveler’s checks and important family documents — such as copies of insurance policies, identification and bank account records saved electronically or in a waterproof, portable container — are other suggested items to have on hand.

“You just want to be prepared in case you lose power, have any damage to your house or anything like that. It’s always good to be prepared and have a kit ready just in case,” said Lindsay Schwan, a planner with Oakland County Emergency Management.

Once you’ve assembled your kit, your family should decide where to store it, so

everyone knows where it is in the event of an emergency — ideally, wherever you plan to take cover. Canned food should be stored in a cool, dry place, and boxed food should be stored in tightly closed plastic or metal containers.

It’s also important to maintain your kit so that it’s ready when needed. That means rethinking your needs every year, replacing expired items as needed and updating your kit as your family’s needs change.

After a storm has passed, experts say to wait 30 minutes before heading outdoors because lightning can strike 10 miles away from a storm. They also suggest staying away from downed power lines and checking on older people and children who may need help.

BEHIND THE WHEEL

Ford F-100 pickup keeps on truckin’

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — What started out as a dilapidated pickup truck is now a sleek, vintage vehicle that draws plenty of attention.

Nearly 25 years ago, Paul Grabski took a chance by purchasing a 1953 Ford F-100 pickup truck. Although he got a good deal on the sale, the vehicle had seen better days.

“It was inexpensive. I brought it home. It was sort of a derelict vehicle,” Grabski, 66, said. “It was so tall. It was an old farm truck that was taken out of a barn in Saginaw.”

The Sterling Heights resident knew that a couple of previous owners tried to turn the vehicle into a hot rod without much success. His plan was to restore the truck and then put it up for sale.

“When I got it running, the vehicle was not in drivable shape,” Grabski said. “No steering, no brakes.”

He changed his mind about selling the truck, though, and decided to keep it. Grabski soon got to work to make the set of wheels his own.

“I tore it down and I rebuilt the entire chassis. Both suspensions, front and back,” Grabski said. “I did the motor up nice, put an automatic transmission in it. Virtually created the truck. In the process I threw everything but the cab and the doors away. It was just all junk.”

Then “life got in the way,” so Grabski parked the Ford in the garage, where it stayed for 15 years.

“A couple years ago we decided we’d go ahead and finish it,” the 1975 Eisenhower High School graduate said.

He found a custom painter who beautified the truck with an indigo blue color.

“It’s not original, but what we did, we did right. It is customized to be more enjoyable and easier to operate than when it was first built,” Grabski said. “It’s pretty comfortable to ride in now as opposed to the old farm truck. A farm truck is exactly that. They’re stiff. They’re hard to drive. This changed it all.”

The pickup is now equipped with power steering, power brakes, auto-

matic transmission, air conditioning and power windows. He even installed a Chevy V-8 engine. To keep up with the truck’s authentic appearance, the rear end is a bit higher than the front.

“It gives that hot rod stance to it. I love the wood floor in the back. I like the louver hood,” Grabski said. “I built the truck I wanted to build with the help of some friends and some people I paid to have work done.”

Working on the truck was second nature for Grabski, who has “done auto repair my whole life.” He worked in the auto industry in production, building various car models, motor home chassis and transmissions. The retired GM employee also learned the trade by repairing vehicles when he worked overtime.

“I picked up tons of knowledge repairing them,” he said.

Grabski, who built model cars as a kid, paid attention to the interior.

“This is actually a factory seat reimagined. It used to be a straight, flat seat,” he said of the front seat. “A couple down in De-

Grabski is a fixture at all the local car haunts, including the Mount Clemens Cruise, Autorama, the annual Shorewood Kiwanis Club of St. Clair Shores Harper Charity Cruise, and Cruisin’ 53, organized by the Warren Community Foundation and the Center Line Festival Foundation.

People have stopped him in the middle of the avenue to snap photos during the Woodward Dream Cruise. He’s won trophies for the vehicle, which has about 2,500 miles on it.

“We get thumbs-up everywhere we go. We get phones shoved out the window at traffic lights,” said Grabski, whose wife, Roberta Hunter, is usually by his side. “You meet a lot of people with a vehicle like this.”

On a recent Monday morning while at James C. Nelson Park in Sterling Heights, local resident Donna Hill — while on the walking track — noticed the restored pickup truck.

“What kind of engine? Was that the original color? It’s so perfect how you kept it up,” Hill said. “That’s really nice. That is absolutely beautiful.”

Volleyball

from page 3A

After the Michigan High School Athletic Association that announced boys volleyball, along with girls field hockey, will be MHSAA-regulated in 2025-2026, it’s been the boys who have stepped onto the court in unfamiliar territory and shown what they can bring to the table.

Rochester Adams, one of 11 teams to introduce boys volleyball this season, became part of a brotherhood of 69 teams in the Michigan Interscholastic Volleyball Coaches Association, which started with just four teams in 2018.

“We tried last year,” Adams junior Graham Pease said. “We tried doing all three Rochester schools with Stoney, Rochester and Adams, and that didn’t go well because we got shut down for our co-op application. This year, we kind of went at it all through Adams. We got a brand-new teacher, and she’s the head coach at Holly, so we got her on board and we got our other coach, who coaches at Legacy and Adams, and we got her on board. Me and one of my buddies primarily just went around asking. We were both really interested and really wanted to. We missed the deadline at our school to be

Members of Adams boys volleyball:

Michael Batah (senior), Lorenzo Vizentim (senior), Cameron Potts (senior), Liam Kania (junior), Jaylen Patterson (junior), Jack Ceci (junior), Luke Ackerman (senior), Graham Pease (junior), Bryce Kotik (senior), Marcus Edgar (junior), Florian Ilunga (senior) and Saswath Velayudham.

an official club because it was so hard to get it started, but we just went around begging.”

Pease, who plays competitive club volleyball for L2, was one of two players on the inaugural Adams boys volleyball team with prior volleyball experience with freshman Saswath Velayudham also playing club for L2.

Without Pease, there isn’t a Highlanders boys volleyball program this year. Without a volleyball program, the Highlanders would’ve never felt what it was like to play in the Division 1 state semifinals May 30 at Hudsonville High School.

Through all the obstacles of putting a team together, or even creating a team to begin with, Adams fought through everything to the tune of an 18-5 record and impressive showings in district and regionals to reach the final four. Adams’ state tournament journey would end as it fell to Grand Haven in the semifinals May 30 at Hudsonville High School.

“It’s actually crazy because half of these

kids showed up at the last possible second to play because we were asking anyone and everyone to play, and half these kids came the first day of practice having no experience and no clue of what they were getting themselves into,” Adams head coach Isabelle Brown said. “It’s crazy that we didn’t have tryouts, we didn’t have cuts, we charged the

least amount of money possible, and we’ve made it this far with how little gym time we’ve had. There’s been so many obstacles thrown at us, and we just keep persevering, and it’s actually so surreal.”

One of the easier obstacles for Pease and the program, which some would think would be the toughest, was finding a competent coach who would be able to teach a group of rag-tag boys volleyball players and elevate them into a competitive squad.

Luckily for Pease, Brown and coach Ali Kranz, both teachers at Adams, have a lengthy resume when it comes to coaching

volleyball.

Brown was recently named the head coach for Holly High School girls volleyball after three years as the JV coach, while Kranz holds extensive coaching experience across high school, middle school and club volleyball.

“Our coaches have been so much help,” Pease said. “We owe it all to them. They’ve done so much. We’ve just gone through a lot of stuff.”

Adams had its struggles out the gate with 2-0 losses to Saline and Auburn Hills Avondale High School in two of its first three matchups, but the boys continued to fight and progress day in and day out.

With the help of having tough league competition like Avondale, the league champion, Clarkston, Lake Orion, Macomb Dakota, and Grand Blanc, the Highlanders were constantly tested throughout the season.

“We have a lot of kids that have never played volleyball before, so this is all new to them,” Brown said. “I think for us as the season went, we were able to improve in so many areas. I think that played to our ben-

efit, because I think people were underestimating us and not preparing to play against us. We had so many areas we knew we could make improvements and we had the players we knew could get the job done.”

Riding a six-game win streak and with a trip to regionals on the line, Adams faced off against Avondale one last time this season May 17 at Avondale High School.

Avondale dropped only one set all year to Adams, but the past three matchups were in the rearview for Adams.

Winning 3-1, Adams defeated Avondale to move on to a regional matchup with Hartland, who Adams would later defeat 3-2 to reach the semifinals.

“I think it was just our energy in general,” Pease said. “It was at Avondale, and I think we were walking into that match way more hungry than we were before. I think in the back of our heads we knew we could beat them. Something about walking into that match felt so different. I also think we knew that if we lost, we were done.”

Adams will graduate six seniors from its inaugural squad, but returns a strong junior class and Velayudham as the lone freshman. With the team’s success, it wouldn’t be a surprise to anyone if numbers grow as the team, and the sport itself, continues to gain popularity.
