Macomb trustees make budget amendments
House demolition also approved on May 24 BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com
MACOMB TOWNSHIP — As Macomb Township arranges its budget for the coming year, the township board of trustees approved changes on May 24 to make sure the past year’s finances were accurately reported. Presented by Stacy Smith, Macomb Township’s chief financial officer, several funds needed to be adjusted due to a variety of reasons. Established funds that needed adjusting include the general fund, increased by approximately $5 million increase due to higherthan-expected revenue and state support; the municipal roadway fund, adjusted by about $600,000 to reflect an increase in expenditures and a decrease in revenue after grant funds were not used as planned and a project from the previous fiscal year was paid off; and the retiree health care fund, increased by about $2.1 million due to higher-than-expected investment income. Some funds had to be added to the budget due to developments throughout the fiscal year. “The opioid settlement fund is a new fund,” Smith said. “If you remember, the board had approved for us

MAKE THE MOST OF A DAY ON MACKINAC ISLAND
S
BY GREG TASKER
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 16A

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.

Michigan Fashion Week is in style DETROIT — Glitz, glamour and graffiti will enhance Eastern Market’s Shed 3 when the annual Michigan Fashion Week sashays down the runway June 15-16. Fashion followers are invited to enjoy two nights of fashion shows featuring styles from local designers. Thursday night has been dubbed “Streetwear Showcase,” and the audience will get a look at styles straight from the streets of the Motor City. “It’s a fun, casual street style. Detroit is known for their graffiti streetwear and rugged look,” MFW CEO and founder Loren Hicks said. “It’s sweatshirts, painted jeans, gym shoes, graffiti shirts, hats and beanies.” Friday night’s “High-Fashion Showcase” will turn the spotlight on one-of-a-kind couture looks. “It will have a Met Gala-type feel,” Hicks said. “It’s a very formal fashion show.” Doors open at 5 p.m. both evenings with the fashion shows beginning at 7 p.m. Models, designers, vendors, photographers, videographers, buyers and sponsors will all come together to put on an entertaining evening with all the current fashion trends. “It’s definitely high-energy and very live-
ly,” Hicks said. “It’s a lot of work but we have a great time. I have a great team.” MFW originated in 2012 when Hicks thought it was time to have a fashion week modeled after Paris, New York City and Los Angeles. “I saw the need for this here,” Hicks said. “Michigan is full of talented individuals. This provides an avenue for fashion students to stay here in Michigan.” “Michigan Fashion Week provides the bridge between fashion designers, models, photographers, advertising agencies, model agencies, fine artists, make-up and hair stylists, exhibitors, and entrepreneurs in the beauty, and fashion industry directly to consumers. Michigan Fashion Week strives to produce an upscale quality event with the overall goal of bringing awareness and economic growth to the international fashion industry,” a MFW press release states. “Our objective is to provide real business opportunities to fashion designers and fashion businesses to showcase their skills and abilities in the most professional way.” MFW organizers work with higher education institutions to recruit and develop talent while also providing an avenue for students to learn real-world skills in the various industries that contribute to the event.

MSU Extension opens pest, plant diagnostic lab
HOOKED ON FISHING
STATEWIDE — The Michigan Department of Natural Resources will hold a “Free Fishing Weekend” June 10-11. During the weekend, all fishing license fees will be waived Saturday and Sunday. Residents and out-of-state visitors may enjoy fishing on both inland and Great Lakes waters for all species of fish. All fishing regulations will still apply. A recreation passport will not be required for entry into state parks and boating access sites during the Free Fishing Weekend. Also during the June 10-11 weekend, residents and visitors can legally ride off-road vehicles legally without buying an ORV license or trail permit. All other ORV rules and laws still apply. For more information, visit Michigan.gov/ORVInfo.
MACOMB COUNTY — If you find a weird bug or plant, don’t throw it away — bring it to the experts. The Macomb County Michigan State University Extension has opened a plant and pest diagnostic lab at 21885 Dunham Road, Suite 12, in Clinton Township, allowing gardeners and other curious folks to drop off plant and insect samples on Tuesdays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for testing. The lab is part of the extension’s consumer horticulture program which operates the toll-free lawn and garden hotline at (888) 674-3464 and other programs to help Macomb County residents with green thumbs. Those with samples they wish to have tested should call the lab before arriving at (586) 4696440. A drop box is available if the extension is not open. Sample examination costs $7. For more information call (586) 469-6440 or visit canr.msu.edu/outreach.
Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame seeking nominations
0285-2323
MICHIGAN — As the muskellunge fishing season gets underway, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources is asking anglers to share information about their outings by responding to its Muskellunge Angler Survey. “Muskellunge are difficult to survey, so biologists are dependent upon information provided by anglers to help us manage this species,” Neal Godby, DNR fisheries biologist, said in a statement. “Angler survey reports give us insight into the relative abundance of muskellunge in a waterbody, size structure of the population and whether the muskellunge in that waterbody are creating a fishery.” Details taken from the survey are used to help DNR fisheries managers recommend fishing regulation changes to the Michigan Natural Resources Commission, evaluate the muskellunge stocking program and understand more about self-sustaining populations. To take the survey, go to www.research.net/r/MIMuskieSurvey.
DETROIT — Michigan Women Forward is accepting nominations for 2023 inductees to the Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame. The Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame and Historical Center, also known as HERstory, was established in 1983 to tell the stories of women’s contributions to Michigan’s history and to inspire the women and girls of tomorrow. Nominations may be made by individuals or by representatives of organizations or groups. A candidate may also nominate herself. Nominations may be made in either of two categories — historical (deceased candidates) or contemporary (living candidates) — and must follow the nomination criteria of Michigan Women Forward. To nominate someone, visit miwf.org/herstory and click on the “Hall of Fame” page for a nomination form and criteria. The last day for applications is July 15. Those interested in judging the 2023 Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame nominations can email Natalie Hall, chief development and program officer for Michigan Women Forward, at nhall@miwf.org.

ets — 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; basically, if you were born in 1979 or later you have to have (a card) to operate a PWC. It’s just like a driver’s license for a card. You have to have one.” Youth ages 14 and 15 need parental supervision to operate a boat, and anyone who is 13 or younger is barred by law from operating one. It is important for the boat to be registered to its proper owner in case salvage retrieval needs to be done. “If something happens to that boat — if it drifts off the dock or is in an accident or sinks in the worst-case scenarios — we know who to look for,” Wiegand said. 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. Call Staff Writer Dean Vaglia at (586) 498-1043.

LIONS’ RAGNOW, BROWN FISH FOR A CAUSE ON LAKE ST. CLAIR BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK

METRO DETROIT — It was a true matchup of David vs. Goliath on the waters of Lake St. Clair at Emerald City Harbor in St. Clair Shores May 30. Detroit Lions legend Lomas Brown, the
charter fishing rookie, went toe-to-toe with Lions Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow, the veteran angler. It was a matchup with unmeasurable magnitude, like a goal line play with both sides of the trenches going at it. “I’m in his territory,” Brown said. “Now, See FISHING on page 10A
UTICA — Baseball is back at Jimmy John’s Field. An icon in the Utica community since opening in 2016, the United Shore Professional Baseball League is back and better than ever in 2023, continuing its tradition of assisting players in reaching their Major League Baseball dreams. With 48 players signed to MLB organizations and three players making MLB rosters (Randy Dobnak, Logan Gillaspie and Jared Koenig), the USPBL’s growing reputation of elevating players to the next level continues to attract talent from all over the map. “That was probably one of my main reasons for why I came here,” Utica Unicorns pitcher Conner Tomasic, an Indiana native, said. “It’s been seven seasons going on eight, and there’s already been 50 people drafted here, so you know people are watching and coming to see guys. It was a no-brainer to come here.” Along with the exposure, it’s also extremely competitive baseball, and the fans are loving every minute of it.
Birmingham Bloomfield Beavers (0-2)
It’s only right to start off with the 2022 USPBL champions, but it’s a newlook squad coming into this season for the
Birmingham Bloomfield Beavers, who are three-time champions of the league. Missing their top-three hitters from 2022 and the majority of their pitching staff, the Beavers will look to rely on returning veteran outfielders Chris Davis and Travious Ford, and returning infielder JD Stubbs to bolster the offensive unit. Davis is off to a hot start so far in 2023, batting .571 with two home runs in seven atbats while Ford is building off his successful 2022 campaign with a .500 batting average in 10 at-bats. The Beavers have scored five or more runs in both of their games this season, but are looking for their pitching staff to provide some consistency. Troy native Nick Gajewski, who played collegiately at Rochester University, is one of the Beavers pitchers hoping to help bolster the staff this season. A first-year player in the USPBL, Gajewski said that while it has been an adjustment, it feels like a full-circle moment to be playing in the league this season. “Definitely trying to settle in and find your groove, but I don’t mind it at all,” Gajewski said. “Matter of fact, I like it a lot more than any other type of ball I’ve played prior, so I do enjoy the environment. I used to come to these games when I was younger, and here we are now.” Pitchers Alex Reinoehl, Zachary Goree See USPBL on page 13A

METRO DETROIT — What a summer for sports in the city of Detroit. Detroit Tigers baseball is competitive once again, and there’s legitimate excitement and expectations heading into the upcoming Detroit Lions season, but the Professional Golf Association’s Rocket Mortgage Classic continues to be the topic of conversation. As the tournament makes its return to the Detroit Golf Club on June 27, the field has already drawn commitments from twotime major champion Collin Morikawa and RMC defending champion Tony Finau, but there’s no card more stacked than this year’s AREA 313 Celebrity Scramble commitments. Detroit Lions Hall of Famers Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson will return to compete in the event, alongside Dylan Larkin of the Detroit Red Wings and Michigan State basketball head coach Tom Izzo, the scramble’s defending champion. But the RMC welcomes two newcomers who will undoubtedly make their presence known. Former Michigan Wolverines star and NBA Hall of Famer Chris Webber, a Detroit native and phenom at Detroit Country Day from 1991-1993, will round out the Michigan sports connection, while WWE Superstar “The Miz” will make his course debut at the RMC. The Miz, a two-time WWE Champion, previously starred on the popular MTV show “The Real World: Back to New York” before
beginning his wrestling career in 2003. “We’re looking forward to introducing a new twist to the AREA 313 Celebrity Scramble by adding Chris Webber and The Miz to our field,” said Jason Langwell, executive director of the Rocket Mortgage Classic. “It’s always fun to see Detroit sports legends up close and personal testing their golf games alongside PGA Tour pros, and having a professional wrestler in the mix this year will make it even more entertaining.” Awarded the PGA Tour’s “Best Special Event” after debuting in 2019, the AREA 313 Celebrity Scramble will be held at 5 p.m. June 27 as part of the RMCs Detroit Community Days, which focuses on intertwining the Detroit community with professional golf. The First Tee - Greater Detroit Youth Clinic will be held at 2 p.m. on June 27 and will showcase PGA professionals and celebrity guests working with children of elementary and middle school age on golf fundamentals and skills challenges. Detroit Community Days will conclude on June 28 with the Delta Dental Pro-Am where attendees can watch PGA golfers in an up-close setting throughout the day. All Detroit Community Days events are provided with complimentary parking and admission. “We are proud to be able to offer fans complimentary admission to all the amazing events on Detroit Community Days as part of our dedication to making the Rocket Mortgage Classic accessible to everyone in our communities,” Langwell said.

way I was raised, and grieving through the outdoors, both two-fold, has been great for me.” Brown then discussed his foundation and the impact it’s made with low-income families, and how his competitive matchup with Ragnow could make for something special in the future. “It’s geared towards helping our youth in the Southeast Michigan area,” Brown said. “I have sports camps and I do educational camps, and the thing we try to do is make all our programs free to the kids. We never want to put a financial burden on the kids or their families, so we mostly serve the underserved area. I’m just glad my foundation is getting the opportunity to team up with Frank because we’re always looking at ways to try and engage our youth. If I can get them outside, get them fishing, and get them hunting, I think that’s something else to give them an opportunity to do.” It was a special day between the two gentlemen, who have been close since Ragnow was drafted 20th overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. Although Brown may have bested him on the water, Ragnow said he has admiration for the Lions legend throughout his time on the Lions.
“Lomas has just been incredible, man,” Ragnow said, standing next to Brown. “Since day one when I stepped foot in Allen Park, he’s been nothing but supportive, respectful, and a great mentor. I’ve been very appreciative of him because he’s always around the facility and he’s always supporting us, especially us big men, and he knows that the more support we can get the better, so I’m just very grateful to have him throughout my career.” As Brown gave Ragnow a nod and a smile for the recognition, Brown described his relationship with Ragnow as well. Spoiler alert: Brown is desperately hoping for a Lions Super Bowl. “It kind of reminded me of when myself and Kevin Glover were drafted, you know, center and tackle, and it’s kind of that way with him and Taylor Decker, with those guys being so close,” Brown said. “I know the relationship me and Kevin Glover had as a center, and just to see Frank and how he’s come along is just unbelievable the steps he’s made towards being the type of player he is. Hopefully this is the year. Man, we want it. I think we want it, maybe worse than they want it.” For more information or to make a donation to either foundation, visit frankragnow.org and lomasbrownjrfoundation.org.

and Rhian Mann will look to be consistent contributors for the Beavers as well this season on the mound.
Utica Unicorns (2-1)
The four-time USPBL champions that won three-straight titles from 2019 to 2021 are back and looking to add to the team’s legacy. The team has an imposing offense led by a mix of veterans and newcomers, with outfielder Alec Brunson and infielder Donovyn Curiel continuing to make their mark with the Unicorns, while newly acquired infielder Josh Baker and catcher Justin Gomez consistently provide at the plate. “First look at it, I don’t think we’re going to be the same Unicorns that I heard of last year with the big boys, power, and lots of home runs,” Tomasic, a right-handed pitcher, said. “I think we’re going to be more of the gap-to-gap and score guys more efficiently than relying on the long ball.” Gomez, who was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in 2019, is currently hitting .333 on the season, while Baker’s two home runs are tied for the league lead. Like the Beavers pitching staff, the Unicorns staff will look to match the offensive firepower as the season progresses. While the earned run averages may not be there yet for the Unicorns, Tomasic currently leads the league in wins (2) in his first year with the league. A Michigan State University player in 2022, Tomasic will look to lead the pitching staff alongside Tristan Harvin, Jace Baumann, Jake Fiorito, and Michigan native Carsie Walker (Saugatuck).
Eastside Diamond Hoppers (3-0)
Currently the only unbeaten team in the league, there’s a reason the Diamond Hoppers are not only the strongest team right now, but also the first team to have a player signed by an MLB organization for the 2023 season. On May 23, the Minnesota Twins continued their USPBL poaching with the signing of 6-foot-8 right-handed pitcher Jake Wosinski, a Michigan native from Ada, who was dominant so far this season with zero earned runs and seven strikeouts in four innings. Aside from Wosinski, the Diamond Hoppers are the most balanced team in the league right now with veteran infielders Joe Burke, Alex Pup and Saginaw native Noah Marcoux. “We got a lot of returners, so having guys back that you played with and you
know and you’re familiar with helps a lot,” Burke said. “We kind of have the dynamic together and know what to expect from each other, and we’re ready to get it going.” While the hitting has improved since last season, the Diamond Hoppers pitching staff continues to be strong. Led by Luke Drummond, Ethan Young, Brett Erwin, Chris Kelly and Grand Rapids native Andrew Verbrugge, the Diamond Hoppers’ slew of arm talent mixed with offensive firepower makes it the team to beat in the league. “I know we got the pitching, but I hope our lineup is going to be ready to go,” Burke said. “One through nine, I think it’s going to be the best in the league. It should be, but we got to go out there and compete like everyone else.”

Westside Wooly Mammoths (1-3)
It’s been a mix of emotions for the Westside Wooly Mammoths since joining the USPBL in 2017. While holding a pair of runner-up finishes, the past couple of years have been tough as the Mammoths hitting never seemed to truly find its groove last season. Led by former Kansas City Royals 2019 draft pick Burle Dixon in the outfield and a crop of newly acquired talent, the Mammoths offense has been firing on all cylinders this season. “I’m trying to be a leader for this squad and bring some wins to the Mammoths,” Dixon said. “They’ve been struggling the past few years, so I’m excited to be here and try and turn things around.” Alongside Dixon, outfielder Francis Florentino, infielder Nick Webre and outfielder Reese Trahey, a West Bloomfield native, lead the offensive unit this season. Macomb native and Michigan State University right-handed pitcher Kyle Bischoff headlined the Mammoths pitching staff with a league-high 15 strikeouts this season, and his numbers were strong enough to attract the Minnesota Twins’ attention. On May 31, the Twins signed Bischoff, who is the USPBL’s 48th player to sign with a Major League Baseball organization. With Bischoff ’s departure, the Mammoths will rely on veterans Beau Atkins and Novi native Grant Pytel to be consistent contributors on the mound. Dixon said there will be one major change with the Mammoths this season. “Confidence,” Dixon said. “We’re going to come out with confidence every day and be that person who you think you are. We’re going to come out with confidence every night and execute.” Call Staff Writer Jonathan Szczepaniak at (586) 498-1090.

Firefighter Mike Risk, of the Macomb Township Fire Department, works his way through the Comerica Park stands during the American Lung Association Fight For Air Climb on May 21. Risk set the fastest time of the MTFD team and finished in the top 50 firefighters.

climb is we wear full turnout gear, which is 60 pounds worth of equipment,” said Capt. Jason Dumas, of the Macomb Township Fire Department. Macomb Township firefighters have run in the event since 2012, joining 60 fire departments and nearly 400 runners who put their stair climbing abilities to the test. Macomb Township’s eight runners placed 15th out of all fire department teams, with MTFD firefighter Mike Risk achieving the team’s best time of 21 minutes and 51 seconds. Risk’s time made him the 42nd fastest firefighter of the day. According to Maureen Rovas, executive director of American Lung Association in Michigan, the 2023 event was the largest showing of firefighters to date. “Nearly half of our event is made up of first responders and firefighters who come out every year to partake in the stair climb,” Rovas said. “It’s a great way to see their brothers and sisters that are other first responders. Many are here to compete for the firefighter challenge, and many see it as an event to work for their training to have a great climb experience on event day.”
For the firefighters of the MTFD, the primary reason to climb Comerica’s stairs is to raise awareness for the cancers that affect firefighters. “One of the leading causes of death for firefighters is cancer,” Dumas said. “Whether it’s lung cancer, brain cancer, there’s a number of different cancers that we have a 3 times more likelihood of contracting and becoming fatal. We’re losing firefighters at crazy numbers every year now because of cancer, and it’s a lot to do with the carcinogens we’re exposed to on the job.” Dumas says stair climbing is a regular part of the department’s training. Stair climbing machines can be found throughout the MTFD’s firehouses, and firefighters train for the climb by using the machines wearing weighted vests. “Preparing for the climb is something we do,” Dumas said. “We mark it on the calendars so we have something to look forward to and train for, and that helps us in our everyday efforts out on the streets when we’re responding to calls. “The exposure we get for doing the climb sheds light on the lung cancer research that’s going on that we’re trying to help put in the spotlight. It helps us and we enjoy being able to help showcase that with our career,” Dumas said.

It’s a leisurely and nearly two-hour excursion that provides a better sense of the island. There are several stops, so you can get off and explore. The company bills itself as the oldest horse and buggy service in the world.
11 a.m. — Explore Fort Mackinac
Perched atop a bluff overlooking the harbor, the limestone fort is a one-of-a-kind attraction in Michigan. Costumed interpreters offer rifle-firing demonstrations and tours, sharing the stories of the Revolutionary War-era fortress. Exhibits share the island’s role in the War of 1812. For a unique experience, make a reservation to shoot an authentic cannon. Cap your visit with refreshments at the Fort Mackinac Tea Room. Run by the Grand Hotel, the Tea Room boasts some of the best views on the island. Other lunch options: For a more casual break, order a picnic from the Mission Point Picnic Society. Customers select their own fare, everything from crackers and cheese to dips and charcuteries to sandwiches and salads. Lunch sacks also are available. Spread your picnic on Mission Point Resort’s expansive lawn overlooking the Straits of Mackinac. Other options include grabbing prepared foods at Doud’s Market, the island’s only grocer, run by descendants of the aforementioned Patrick Doud. The island is home to a variety of restaurants, most of them can be found along Main Street.
1 p.m. — Rent that bicycle
Bike rentals can be found along the village’s Main Street and at some hotels. It’s an 8-mile trek around the island and you can pedal at your own pace. If the views of the Straits of Mackinac, Lake Huron and the Mackinac Bridge aren’t enough to lure you away from the shops, the M-185 loop (it’s
an official state highway) passes landmarks like Arch Rock, an unusual rock formation that stands nearly 15 stories high above Lake Huron.
3 p.m. — Grand Hotel It is well worth the short uphill walk from downtown to the Grand, among the last of the big wood-frame hotels in the country. For $10, you can explore the venerable hotel and the grounds. Take time to secure a white wooden rocking chair on the front porch, the world’s longest, and breathe in the mesmerizing views. The public is welcome to join activities (for a fee) at the Woodlands Activity Center, which includes an 18-hole miniature golf course, and the Cedar Grove Bike Track. Ask about the hotel’s Secret Garden.
5 p.m. — Downtown Mackinac Island Spend some time shopping. You won’t miss the ferries back to the mainland — they leave later in the evening during the peak of summer. Fudge shops here are almost as plentiful as hotels. There’s even a Sanders (btw, you can still find Sanders ice cream toppings here). If you have children, be sure to check out the Original Mackinac Island Butterfly House, where hundreds of butterflies, from around the world, flutter and amuse. I passed through recently with a 3-year-old in tow. She was mesmerized. Before leaving, stop by the Pink Pony (inside the Chippewa Hotel), one of the island’s most famous bars, and toast its 75th anniversary. Cheers. Greg Tasker is a Traverse City-based freelance writer. His articles focused on northern Michigan travel will appear during the summer.

MACOMB TOWNSHIP CHRONICLE • JUNE 8, 2023
Baseball
School, Simonis coached at Wayne State University in 2019 and 2020, and Fenech has coached at the high school, NAIA, and Division 1 levels. Launching the company in 2020 brought its own challenges, but what the three men had that few possessed was an extensive network of coaches to get the company off the ground running. Since holding their first event at Grosse Pointe Woods University Liggett in 2020, No Doubt has become a nationwide showcase company, holding baseball showcases in California and North Carolina this year. “The advantage that we had going in was we had built relationships with other college coaches just because being in that world and working camps, we had built a network of people we really liked and (who) trusted us,” Simonis said. “It really came down to just getting the word out to more high school players. We were blessed to have great relationships with travel ball organizations and high school coaches in the area, and that was really essential to getting everything going.” Aside from on-the-field drills at the showcase, No Doubt offers each

No Doubt Showcase will feature batting, fielding and pitching workouts when it begins on June 27 at Comerica Park.
Auburn Hills Avondale High School, while No Doubt’s Stadium Series Youth Camp, for kids 10-14, will begin on June 27 with a one-hour camp at Comerica Park before finishing with a two-hour camp at Avondale. Founded in 2020 by Josh Simonis, Gregg Sadowski, and Matt Fenech, who all played baseball collegiately at Rochester University, No Doubt Showcase prides itself on providing something ball players in the past weren’t able to access. “Myself, Matt and Gregg, all three of us didn’t really know how to get recruited,” Simonis said. “We wanted to play at the next level. I would say to an extent all three of us got lucky in a way to play baseball collegiately, and we want to be the resource to help educate and connect people in a way that allows them to make the best decision for their future when it comes to playing college sports.” Sadowski currently serves as the varsity head baseball coach at Clinton Township Chippewa Valley High

attendee their own personal profile for No Doubt’s player database. Players who do not attend the showcase can create a database, but only players who attend the event will have a profile picture, video from the event, and their stats such as pitching velocity, hitting exit velocity, catcher pop time and 60-yard dash time as well. “We have a great website that college coaches log into all over the country and look at the players on there, and it’s just a great resource for players,” Simonis said. “We feel like we want you to be able to come to our camp to learn something, to walk out with some video to follow up with the college coaches who were there and maybe they didn’t see you and want to take a second look, they can look at your stats and your video. If you’re interested in a school somewhere else and they weren’t there that day, they can look at your video and stats and trust that those numbers are accurate.” Interested players can sign up at nodoubtshowcase.com and click on the events tab to locate the Comerica Park showcase. Attendees will also receive a No Doubt t-shirt and hat as well.

Macomb Township purchased the property at 49625 Romeo Plank Road in April, and the structure was approved for demolition at the May 24 board of trustees meeting. Fire and police training will occur in the building before demolition, and trees at the site will be incorporated into Pitchford Park.

Pitchford Park house demolition
In April, the board approved the purchase of the house at 49625 Romeo Plank Road from its previous owners, the Fischer family, and on May 24 the board voted to demolish the house. “Our vendor here is very excited to get going,” Township Supervisor Frank Viviano said. “As soon as we allow both our Fire Department and Sheriff ’s Office to do some training on the site, we’re going to take the house down. Unfortunately, it’s not a build-
ing that can be saved, but it will make for a nice addition to the park.” The contract went to Oakwood Building Company for $18,615, about half the cost of the second-lowest bid for the work. Trees on the site will be saved from the demolition and incorporated into the park.

Greenway grant application
The board also approved a resolution to pursue a grant from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy to acquire several properties along the North Branch of the Clinton River to build a North Branch Greenway. Three properties were identified along the river and the total cost to buy the properties is estimated to be $2.2 million. Call Staff Writer Dean Vaglia at (586) 498-1043.

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. The suspect was placed under arrest for malicious destruction of property and transported to the Police Department.
Robbery reported
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.
Juveniles run through mall, fight
STERLING HEIGHTS — Juveniles were reported to be running through Lakeside Mall, 14200 Lakeside Circle, the evening of May 6, and at one point, around 12 juveniles were allegedly part of a group that was fighting. According to a police report, at some point, the fighting parties had broken up. When police got there and checked out the parking lot, the juveniles were apparently gone.
Juveniles pretend to ride bikes from Flint to Sterling
STERLING HEIGHTS — A caller told police May 6 that four juvenile bicyclists who “looked lost and excitable” by the Sterling Heights Nature Center
were saying they lived in Flint and had ridden all the way to Sterling Heights. Police later learned that the juveniles were all Sterling Heights residents, and they reportedly were just fooling with the caller and thought the caller was laughing and taking it as a joke. Police took no further action.
Indecent exposure suspect sought
GROSSE POINTE CITY — An unknown male suspect was being sought by police after he reportedly exposed himself to a woman in the area of Charlevoix Avenue and Grosse Pointe Court at around 12:05 p.m. May 16.
Prop money used for real purchases
GROSSE POINTE CITY — Police said a pair of unknown suspects made eight purchases of less than $10 each over the course of several hours at Panera in The Village May 16 using $100 bills for each purchase and receiving more than $90 back in change each time. Police said the suspects were using movie prop $100 bills. A report states that the same cashier was responsible for each of these transactions.
Radar detector taken
GROSSE POINTE WOODS — An unknown suspect is said in a police report to have stolen a radar detector from the dashboard of a vehicle while it was parked in the driveway of a home in the 800 block of Woods Lane between 4:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. May 14. Police said there were no signs of forced entry and the victim said he wasn’t sure whether the vehicle was locked at the time of the larceny.
Leaf blowers stolen
GROSSE POINTE PARK — Unknown suspects are said to have made off with three RedMax backpack leaf blowers worth a total of more than $2,000 while they were in a landscape trailer parked in the 1300 block of Audubon Road at around 3:50 p.m. May 16. The crew was working in the backyard of the home when the larceny occurred, a police report states. A witness told police the suspects had been circling the area before they approached the trailer. While no description of the suspects was available, the witness told police they were driving in a white Jeep Compass and a white Chevy Trailblazer.
Flag swiped
GROSSE POINTE PARK — A police report states that an unknown suspect took a “Trump 2024 Make America Great Again” flag from the front porch of a residence in the 1000 block of Beaconsfield Avenue between the hours of 10 p.m. May 18 and 11 a.m. May 19.
