pending a day on Mackinac Island is a rite of summer for many Michiganders. But most of us, I’m betting, aren’t making the most of that day. We scurry off the ferries right into the heart of downtown Mackinac Island, rent a bicycle for the traditional loop around the island, and then spend a few hours searching for souvenirs and fudge. We might grab a drink or a meal before heading back to the dock. While it’s always a fun outing, there’s so much more to
this Michigan gem than fudge, bicycles and horses. Most of the car-free island is a state park with miles of trails to hike and bike. It’s steeped in centuries of Native American, European and American history. And while Mackinac evokes images of being lost somewhere in time, there’s always something new to check out. New this season, for example, are: Patrick Doud’s Irish Pub, named after a contractor of Irish descent who helped build a number of important buildings on the island; the Mackinac Island Pizza Co., which serves Detroit-style pizza See MACKINAC on page 11A

Known as the “Senior Walk,” it has become a Fraser High School tradition — one that serves as a capstone for their high school experience. “The Senior Walk has been going on for more than

FRASER — The Fraser Public Library is inviting the community to join in a casual question and answer conversation with its board members and library director on Tuesday, June 20. Called “Cookies and Questions with Fraser Public Library,” the event will take place at 6:30 p.m. at the Fraser Lions Club, 34540 Utica Road. “The decision to host this event was made by the library staff and board in light of the recent millage campaign, updates to the building, future plans, and the intention to address any questions or concerns related to the utilization of the millage funds,” said Kyle Burley, treasurer of the Library Board. “The Fraser Public Library Board as
well as staff felt very strongly about providing Fraser residents with the proper opportunity to address their concerns and ask any questions they might have regarding the library,” added Marketing and Development Coordinator Fatima Syed. “We have always appreciated the support and love we receive from our community and ultimately. The library’s goal is to be a safe and inclusive space for the people of Fraser, so our community’s input is extremely important to us.” This is something new for the Fraser Library, and the hope is that it will ensure the library is operating in accordance with the wishes of the community as it makes future plans. “This is the first time the library has organized an event of this nature,” said Burley. “The library hopes to accomplish several

Township trustees update George George Park construction plan
Poor soil conditions and the location of the gas main forced engineers to reconfigure the plans for the parking lot at George George Park, which the Clinton Township Board of Trustees approved at its May 30 meeting.

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — The Clinton Township Board of Trustees have updated the terms of the George George Park construction project, approving the changes at its May 30 meeting. During construction of the auxiliary parking lot improvements and universally accessible kayak launch expansion, poor soil conditions and the location of the gas main forced engineers to reconfigure the lot plans. Only one space was lost in the process. “We found the soils a lot better on the south side, and there’s access fairly close to the main walkway there, so it worked out, actually, pretty well,” said Scott Chabot, project manager.

CALENDAR JUNE 9

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — The Clintondale Community Schools Board of Education selected Kenneth Janczarek as the district’s new superintendent on May 31. “I’m extremely excited about it,” Janczarek said about being selected. “It’s a great opportunity.” Janczarek comes to the district from Clarkston Community Schools, where he is currently the director of special programs. Other positions he’s held include the innovation director at Lapeer Community Schools, principal at Turrill Year-Round Elementary School in Lapeer, principal at Schickler Elementary School in Lapeer and a teacher for Waterford School District. The biggest factor that drove Janczarek to Clintondale was the idea of the district being family oriented. “The idea that they are a family is something that is really important to me,” Janczarek said. “That idea of family really stood out to me, of wanting to be part of a group that worked to support kids,” Janczarek added. Janczarek takes over from interim superintendent Barbara VanSweden on July 1 and plans to be at Clintondale enrollment rallies and other summer functions when his current position allows. Kenneth Janczarek Clintondale’s superintendent seat opened when Rodriguez Broadnax resigned last December. Broadnax is currently the interim superintendent for Muskegon Heights Public Schools and will become the superintendent of the Grand Coulee Dam School District, in the state of Washington, on July 1.

The South Channel lights sit in Lake St. Clair, and it’s the mission of the Save Our South Channel Lights organization to preserve their history through restoration for generations to come. Kathy Brady, the group’s secretary, said Save Our South Channel Lights is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization founded by Charles Brockman. “Him and his wife were avid boaters that used to go out in Lake St. Clair, and often went by the lighthouses and saw how decrepit they were in the ’70s and ’80s,” Brady said. “And he said, ‘Somebody ought to do something about that.’” This prompted him to found the organization in 1988. The range lights were built in 1859 to allow sailors safe passage through Lake St. Clair, and they were decommissioned in 1905 when the government no longer had any use for them, Brady said. “They had actually dredged a new channel, at which point the border between
Canada and the U.S. was changed with that dredging,” Brady said. Brady said the need arose for the set of range lights as boats got bigger and bigger and started carrying heavier cargo. Some of that cargo grew to include iron ore used during the Civil War for weapons and munitions. “The boats used to have to come up the Detroit River from Lake Erie into Lake St. Clair,” Brady said. “The average depth of Lake St. Clair is just over 4 feet, so a lot of times, those big ships would run aground, and they couldn’t drive at night because it was dangerous.” Range lights, Brady explained, are a pair of lights that work together. A smaller one sat about 1000 feet in front of the other one and sailors lined them up to make sure they were in deeper, safer waters, Brady said. When there was no dredging and no lights, ships would stop overnight or when the weather turned and anchor in the bay. The town Anchor Bay subsequently earned its name from this, Brady said. “When the boats used to have to stop

MACOMB SHERIFF ASKS BOATERS TO PRACTICE SAFETY BY DEAN VAGLIA
dvaglia@candgnews.com
MACOMB COUNTY — As the summer heats up and vessels embark into Lake St. Clair, fun in the sun is the first thing on any boater’s mind. But tragedy can strike at any moment, which is why Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham and the Macomb County Sheriff ’s Office Marine Division is reminding lakegoers to practice safe and legal boating. First things first: Make sure your boat works. “Before you get on your boat, make sure that vessel is operational,” Wickersham said. “Make sure your vessel is in good condition and that you have all the safety features that are needed.” Everyone on board needs a life vest rated by the U.S. Coast Guard for open water. “Boat owners, you are responsible for who you take out on your boat,” Lt. Gary Wiegand said. “Be mindful of the alcohol and remember passenger safety is your responsibility.” Type I and Type II life jackets provide
the necessary buoyancy for open water such as Lake St. Clair. Type V jackets — which inflate upon making contact with water — are acceptable but must be worn at all times to avoid being fined due to the intricate triggering mechanism. Even if a life vest is worn, having a Type IV throwable device to pull people back into the water is legally required. For those who want to be safety conscious, having a rescue line is a good piece of equipment to add. “What I always recommend is you have some type of rescue line,” Wiegand said. “Reason being the intended use of this is to throw (it to) somebody in the water so you can help self-rescue that person. The rescue line helps bring that person back.” If you decide to swim deep in the lake, leaving a Type IV out on a rescue line will let it flow with the current and make it readily available to swimmers. As for who can be captain, only certain people are legally allowed to operate a boat. “To operate a personal watercraft, anyone born after Dec. 31, 1978, has to have a boater safety card,” Wiegand said. “Think about that date, think about that age range;

at nighttime, they’re losing money and they can’t travel, so it would take longer to get to where they were going, so they would have to anchor,” Brady said. The range lights used to have a keeper’s dwelling, but Brady said it’s a mystery what happened to it. “They really don’t know what happened to it,” Brady said. “We do know that the remains of the house are not there around the lighthouse.” They know the government didn’t burn it down after it no longer served a purpose, Brady said, because they have documentation of people renting it out after it was decommissioned. There is also documentation about a storm that swept through Harsens Island and Lake St. Clair in the early 1900s that destroyed many buildings. According to the Save Our South Channel Lights website, one of the lights started to lean heavily to one side in 1875 and was dismantled and rebuilt on the same stone and timber base that it had been built on originally. Gary Strobel, president of Save Our South Channel Lights, said the front light is currently leaning heavily to one side, prompting the need for fundraising. Brady said it is the third time in history it has leaned heavily to one side. “We’re trying to raise the funds to do the foundation work that will straighten up the light,” Strobel said. “It’s estimated to be about $500,000 to $750,000 that we need for that.” Right now, they currently have $160,000 saved in cash and investments, Strobel said. The group is also involved in events such as art fairs, and there was a golf outing to raise money. Ways the public can help include coming to the events, donating and applying for a membership. “We’re doing some incentives to drive memberships,” Strobel said. “It entitles you
(to) a newsletter and decals from the organization and we also have some merchandise that is sent to you, depending on the level of membership that you enroll in.” More repairs are also in the organization’s plans. “Our goal is to restore the fence on the rear light and to continue to raise funds for the front light,” Strobel said. He said more restoration work has been done in the last couple years. “What we’ve seen is a lot of damage caused by mother nature with the high waters and winds,” Strobel said. “We did do some restoration on the shed. We had to totally rebuild that. We spent approximately $10,000 on that to rebuild and restore that. The group meets quarterly at the Chesterfield Fire Department to plan and resolve issues. “They’re still standing tall today because of the way they were constructed and the group efforts to restore them and to save our heritage,” Strobel said. Brady said the group has raised close to $900,000 since its inception and has had two match grants. They also raise money through the sale of merchandise and memberships and through weddings and tours out to the grounds of the lights. Brady said people are welcome to the events they are at. The group is also asking for any information or photos people have about the lights. She also said with things like the keeper’s dwelling, there are huge gaps they are trying to fill with the provided history. “If somebody knows something about the South Channel range lights, call us up or send us an email because we really do want to learn as much about this history as we can,” Brady said. On June 24, they will be at the Algonac Michigan Chapter Antique & Classic Boat Show held at the Algonac Harbour Club.

Each year, the graduating class of Fraser High School takes one last walk past their fellow students and out onto the football field to meet with their families.
12 years, before I was even here,” said Superintendent Carrie Wozniak. “It started when a former principal, who went on to be my predecessor as superintendent, Dr. (David) Richards, and it is a great tradition. All of our families get to come on the seniors’ last day and they get to enjoy seeing their kids in their cap and gown and see them make one last walk around the school and football field. It lets us celebrate the graduating class.” “It’s a celebration of our students. It’s a last chance to walk through the hallways, to see their teachers, to high five their friends and celebrate their successes before graduation,” said Fraser High School Principal Ryan Sines. “We’re really proud of the Class of 2023 and wish them the best for the future.” Frankie Palazzolo is the class’ student council president, and he will be going to Loyola University in Chicago in the fall. She said the Senior Walk is something that means a lot to students and helps them bring a sense of finality to their time in the Fraser Public Schools system. “I think it’s a great tradition,” she said. “It’s nice to see the middle schoolers come

The reconfiguration added $113,970 to the construction contract price and required increasing the total project budget from $1.26 million to $1.32 million. Trustees voted unanimously to grant the increase. “When you get into a project this size, many times there’s a lot of unforeseen situations and this is one of those,” Clinton Township Clerk Kim Meltzer said. “Nobody wants to pay more for anything, obviously, and we don’t normally advocate, but this is definitely a project that needs to be done.”

Trustees unanimously passed a resolution honoring LGBTQ+ Pride Month in Clinton Township. The resolution, brought forth by Trustee Tammy Patton and written with the help of Chippewa Valley High School Teacher and Gay-Straight Alliance club advisor Nick Marinello, is intended to help encourage LGBTQ+ youths in Clinton Township to know they are accepted as they are. “There are children that are scared to speak up about being LGBTQ+ because they are scared of their families disowning them or retribution against them or a whole

lot of other things,” Patton said. “Most of them will turn to drugs, they’ll turn to alcohol and a lot of them even turn to suicide because they’re not accepted. This is something that we need to let them know (that) we are a very evolving township and that we do accept diversity and they are part of that diversity.” A second motion to display a pride flag in the Civic Center throughout June passed 6-1. Township Supervisor Robert Cannon cited concerns about other organizations requesting that their flags be displayed and the limited space of the board chambers.

items, starting with awarding D.V.M. Utilities, Inc., of Sterling Heights, a $1.16 million contract to install cured in place pipe lining along township sewers. Part of the lining process involves inspecting the pipes and Department of Public Services Director Mary Bednar said this will be one of the last lining projects of the current cleaning and inspection cycle. “As soon as you’re done with the 10 years (of the cleaning and inspection cycle), you can breathe for about 30 seconds and then you’ve got to start again,” Bednar said. “That is part of asset management, knowing the conditions of your pipes, and in the past we haven’t, so it’s important that we keep eyes on it.” Trustees approved the purchase of a Vacall combination sewer cleaning truck for about $382,000.

out on the track with us and to see the underclassmen in the building lining the halls. We’re heading to our elementary schools after this to see our old teachers. It’s a very exciting time.” The walk leads them through the school and out onto the football field where their friends and loved ones wait for them. Younger students from the middle school often come out to witness the walk and the underclassmen at the high school line the halls. “They start in the auditorium with some motivational speeches by some of their favorite teachers,” said Wozniak. “Then they take one walk around the first floor of the high school with the band leading them. Then they head out to the football field for a walk around the field and it is concluded with pictures and an ice cream social out on our beautiful field.” The walk is preceded by speeches given by a group of teachers, voted on by the graduating class. “They hear from their teachers, and it’s very similar to the speech I give (at graduation),” said Sines. “It’s words of encouragement and talking about their growth over the past four years. They talk about experiences and athletic accomplishments they achieved. Whether they go to college or a career or the
military, we try to tell them to keep their options open and this is a chance to start the next chapter of their lives.” The Class of 2023 possibly had more reason than usual to celebrate and commemorate at graduation, since they were perhaps the class hit hardest by COVID-19. The lockdown began halfway through their freshman year and cast a shadow over virtually their entire high school experience. “It did affect them. I think these students learned resiliency,” said Sines. “They learned how to learn differently, how to practice differently and accommodate to new norms of society. Then they had to switch back to how things were before. They had to be flexible. For all that they had to face, it really speaks to their character. Everyone faces adversity sooner or later, and unfortunately, they had to face it while they were very young.” Faith Aloia, one of the class’ two salutatorians, will be attending Michigan State University in the fall. She said the last four years have been a challenge, but that only makes reaching this final day all the more significant. “It feels great to be here today,” she said. “I am so happy to be finally graduated and done with high school.” “It feels amazing. I am so proud of us and everyone in our class,” added Alisha Gentz, also a salutatorian, and a future University of Michigan Wolverine. “It’s so cool See CLASS on page 14A

things through this event. They aim to provide clarity on the future plans of the library, how the new millage funds will be utilized, and the updates to the library building itself. Additionally, the board and staff want to engage with the community, gather feedback, and address any issues or questions raised by the public.” The decision to host the event at the nearby Lions Club was made prior to the car accident on May 21 in which a vehicle slammed through one of the walls of the library building. “The event is being held at the Lions Club instead of the library, primarily due to space constraints,” said Burley. “The Lions Club was kind enough to offer their venue, and the library staff found it a suitable location to accommodate the expected turnout and allow for a meaningful discussion with the community.” Syed said that Cookies and Questions will not be affected as a result of the accident. “The incident with the car accident at the library does not affect our Cookies and Questions event,” she said. “While the library building remains closed for now due to the extensive damage to the property, the event on June 20 is being held at Fraser Lions Club and no changes are being made to the scheduled event as of right now.” Among the topics to be covered are decisions the library can now make after the passage of a millage supporting the library. “This event follows our recent millage vote,” Burley explained. “The library board and staff want to take the opportunity to discuss the outcome of the campaign, provide information on the programs and initiatives
that will be supported by the millage funds, and address any related concerns.” Library staff and leadership are encouraging library patrons to get to know who operates their library a little better and to invite them to make their voices heard when it comes to what they want to see from their local library. “I strongly encourage readers in Fraser to attend this event, you can gain clarity on the future plans of the Fraser Library, including updates to the building and the use of new millage funds,” said Burley. “Additionally, you have the chance to actively engage with the library staff and board, providing feedback, sharing ideas, and helping to shape the library’s future. Don’t miss out on this chance to connect, contribute, and clarify.” Call Staff Writer Brendan Losinski at (586) 498-1068.

to be able to walk through the halls for the last time and see all of our friends one last time in high school. You don’t realize a lot of little things until you have to leave them behind.” Both said they were happy to have a day to say goodbye to those who have helped them through the high school experience and to, hopefully, have the chance to inspire younger students. “I have to give a shoutout to Ms. Fugate, our History Day
advisor and the eighth grade history teacher, because it was so nice to see her as part of all of this today,” said Aloia. “She’s been really influential to me (in my educational experience), and we don’t really get to say goodbye to people like her without the walk.” The Class of 2023 will have a lot of memories, both good and bad, but many voiced how the Senior Walk is a great way to celebrate the entire experience. “It’s very bittersweet,” said Palazzolo. “I’m very excited to move onto bigger and better things, but it is hard to leave the people that I love and the Fraser community here.” Call Staff Writer Brendan Losinski at (586) 498-1068.
Having an anchor is another important part of boating, and making sure the anchor works properly is even more important. “Last year, unfortunately, in the Macomb County portion of Lake St. Clair, we had two drownings,” Wiegand said. “These drownings could’ve been avoided if the person had their boat anchor. In both these situations people decided to go swimming off of a vessel that was not anchored, and they could not swim back to the boat as the current took it away, causing a drowning.” If you need assistance, make sure you have charged cellphones to call 911. When Macomb County Sheriff ’s Office dispatchers receive the call, they will be able to retrieve your coordinates to send a Marine Division boat your way. Their boats are equipped with FLIR heat-seeking cameras, sonar, radar and firefighting equipment. The Marine Division takes on additional help during the summer with around 90 marine safety officers, including volunteers and reserves. For more information about how to boat safely, visit michigan.gov/dnr/things-to-do/boating/rules-and-regs. The Department of Natural Resources also holds boater safety classes; www.boat-ed.com to register.

Officers join chase
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Clinton Township police officers were tapped in to help stop suspects on the run from Detroit police on May 9. After reports of a red Honda Civic driving recklessly came in, officers spotted the car on the shoulder of Village Road with an out-of-state license plate. After officers turned on their lights, suspects drove the car toward 15 Mile Road and Gratiot Avenue, drove onto the grass outside of a gas station, hit curbs, and drove into a pharmacy parking lot before hitting a lamp post and flipping the car. Officers got the suspects out of the car and arrested them as flames were noticed coming from the vehicle, which was later “fully engulfed in flames.” The car was allegedly connected to a stolen vehicle report out of Detroit, with teen suspects. Police later learned that the two suspects were 11 and 14 years old.
Delivery deception
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — On May 5, a man walked into the FedEx store on Gratiot Avenue, showed identification and picked up packages for Ahee Jewelers. A manager later called to inquire about the state of the packages. FedEx told the manager the packages were picked up, but the manager said nobody had the permission to pick up the packages.
Man arrested on warrants found with firearm, body armor
EASTPOINTE — An Eastpointe man was found with a firearm and body armor after being arrested on outstanding warrants, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office. On Sunday, May 7, Devonta Moore, 19, was arrested on a felony probation violation warrant as well as other warrants in Eastpointe. When he was arrested, he was found with a firearm and body armor, according to a press release from the Prosecutor’s Office. Moore was charged with felon in possession of a firearm and felon in possession of ammunition, both five-year felonies, and two counts of felony firearm, a mandatory two-year felony. Magistrate Mark Makowski arraigned Moore May 8 in Eastpointe’s 38th District Court. Makowski set Moore’s bond at $200,000 cash or surety. He was scheduled for a preliminary examination at 1 p.m. June 6 in front of District Court Judge Kathleen Galen. “Mr. Devonte Moore is a young man with exponential growth opportunity,” his attorney, Jennipher Colthirst, said in a text message. “He has a lot on his plate right now, but he is looking forward to the day it will all be history.”
Back on Aug. 1, according to Eastpointe police, Moore escaped police custody while being transported after his arraignment at the 38th District Court. Moore was taken into custody during a traffic stop Aug. 4 after Eastpointe police detectives tracked him to Interstate 96 near Brighton.
Roseville man found guilty of 3 counts of criminal sexual conduct with minor
ROSEVILLE — A 59-year-old Roseville man was found guilty on three counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor. On Monday, May 15, Mark Boodry was convicted by a jury on two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct (victim under 13, defendant over 17), a felony punishable by up to life in prison; and one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct (victim under 13, defendant over 17), a 15-year felony. Boodry is scheduled to be sentenced at 8:30 a.m. July 19 in front of Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Joseph Toia.
Vehicle windows smashed
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 2:49 p.m. May 3, officers were dispatched to the 51000 block of Shelby Road for a vandalism report. The caller stated that a known acquaintance of hers had come by her residence and smashed out all the windows of her car. Officers located the male suspect nearby. The suspect had cuts on his hands, police said. Police found video footage that reportedly showed the suspect holding a brick in his hand and smashing out all the windows of the car.

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 8:43 a.m. on May 14, a report was made of a robbery that happened the same day in the 21000 block of Harper Avenue. Six officers and a sergeant responded to the scene. Upon arrival, an officer spoke with one of the clerks, a 64-year-old woman, who said a man wearing a black ski mask and a black coat took over $500. She said the man entered the business with his hand in his coat pointing what she believed to be a gun at a clerk. The suspect did not say he had a gun. The suspect said he needed money and started to open the registers and take all the money. The suspect then went northbound on Harper Avenue. Officers secured the parking lot with caution tape and waited for a K-9 unit to arrive. The unit was from Warren and the officer called more officers to assist with the track.
The officer was able to view camera footage. The suspect was reportedly seen entering the business, opening most of the cash drawers, taking the bills, calmly leaving the premises and heading northbound on Harper. On camera, the officer observed a fourdoor vehicle parked facing the east side of Harper. The vehicle arrived shortly before the robbery and left shortly after. It was unknown if it was involved. Other officers received calls and were approached regarding the incident from multiple people. Another officer was able to collect possible evidence from the scene. Other businesses were also able to provide video.
Suspected counterfeit bill passed
ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 6:37 p.m. on May 4, a report was made of alleged fraud on the same day in the 22000 block of Greater Mack Avenue, involving an alleged counterfeit bill. Upon arrival, an officer made contact with the manager, a 57-year-old woman, who was on a video call with her staff. She said that two male subjects arrived in a black vehicle just before the call. One of them could be seen passing a counterfeit $20 bill to make a $12 purchase for a sweatshirt. The staff said the two suspects have attempted to pass fake bills multiple times at the store, but the staff had stopped them before today. The staff turned over the two suspected counterfeit bills; the first one was a clear fake, and the second was a more sophisticated bill with a brown mark on it. The first was said to be caught by staff at a previous date and no purchases were made with it. The second was used to buy the sweatshirt. The vehicle used was registered to a 29-year-old man who matched the description of one of the subjects. The second suspect who passed the counterfeit bill was unknown.
