BEHIND THE WHEEL16A Packard Proving Grounds holds shoe drive fundraiser for restoration projects BY KARA SZYMANSKI kszymanski@candgnews.com

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — The Burgess-Shadbush Nature Center has announced the arrival of its newest animal ambassador, a red-tailed hawk named Artemis. The bird began living at the nature center May 23 in a home that a local Boy Scout constructed for her as an Eagle Scout service project. Joe Youngblood, the Shelby Township parks, recreation, maintenance, nature center and senior center director, said the township is excited to have this addition to the nature center.

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — The Packard Proving Grounds Historic Site launched a shoe drive fundraiser July 1 that will run through Sept. 16. The shoe drive fundraiser will help support restoration and maintenance projects that will improve the Packard Proving Grounds’ ability to host events, both public and private, and support restoration of the Albert Kahn-designed buildings with historical accuracy. Monies raised can also help expand the Packard Motor Car Co. exhibits so that the Packard legacy might inspire future generations. The Packard Proving Grounds will earn funds based on the total weight of the pairs of gently worn, used and new shoes that it collects on behalf of Funds2Orgs, which says it is the nation’s largest shoe drive organization. Anyone can help by donating gently worn, used and new shoes and dropping them off at the Packard Office at the Packard Proving Grounds, located at 49965 Van Dyke Ave. in Shelby Township, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays at the Shelby Farmers Market, which takes place on the front lawn of the Packard Proving Grounds.

Mary Anne Demo, executive director of the Packard Proving Grounds, said organizers are excited about the shoe drive. “We know that most people have extra shoes in their closets they would like to donate to us. By doing so, we raise money for our cause, and we have the chance to help families in developing nations who need economic opportunities. It’s a win-win for everyone,” Demo stated in a press release. Funds2Orgs will distribute the shoes through its small business partner network. Funds2Orgs works with more than 4,000 micro-entrepreneurs to help them create, maintain and grow small businesses in 26 developing countries. Proceeds from the sales of the shoes collected in shoe drive fundraisers help to feed, clothe and house micro-entrepreneurs’ families. One entrepreneur in Haiti reportedly earned enough to send her son to law school. Marci Fitch, the volunteer manager at the Packard Proving Grounds, said they are truly excited to hold their first shoe drive fundraiser and partner with Funds2Orgs. “Whether you have one pair of shoes

or a collection, we hope you can donate and contribute to this great cause. It’s a chance to not only help in the restoration of the Packard Proving Grounds, but those in need worldwide,” she said. Call Staff Writer Kara Szymanski at (586) 498-1029.

“We are thrilled to have such a wonderful project built by a local Eagle Scout and coordinated by Lizzy Schultz. This is the true meaning of community coming together to do something special,” he said via email. Schultz is the Burgess-Shadbush Nature Center coordinator. The red-tailed hawk, according to the township, has a permanent wing injury that means it cannot be released into the wild. Multiple primary feathers on Artemis’ left wing are missing, and officials believe the injury was most likely due to West Nile virus. While the loss of the primary feathers prevents her from flying straight and for long distances, officials said that she is healthy and calm. When the rehabilitators treating Artemis were trying to find her a permanent home, Schultz and the township offered a home at the nature center. The township stated in a press release that Schultz has 10 years of experience in wildlife education and is trained to identify signs of stress in birds of prey. Schultz has a bachelor’s degree in zoology from Michigan State University and a master’s degree in teaching biology from Miami University in Ohio. “The new hawk will be an ambassador for her species, teaching visitors how to live in harmony with wildlife. We know she will help inspire the next generation to care for the natural world,” Schultz said in an email. Andrew England is the Boy Scout from Troop 1478 who volunteered to build an enclosure for Artemis as his BSA Eagle Scout Service Project. England raised $4,500 in donations from the congregation at St. Anne Catholic Church. The enclosure he created has two exhibit areas, giving the nature center room for another bird at some point in the future.

“My biggest takeaway was learning how much effort and preparation it takes to create a project of this size,” England said in the press release. The nature center’s announcement of the hawk coincided with a naming contest for the bird. From late June until July 5, members of the public could voter for three potential names: Artemis, Gishek and Saffron. Last week, the township announced that Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt and wild animals, had won. Schultz said the nature center’s animal ambassadors have a teaching role. “When someone sees a living, breathing creature right in front of them, it’s incredibly impactful. Red-tailed hawks possess intelligence, confidence and caution. Earning their trust requires time and effort. So, every moment she allows me to get closer or maintains eye contact, it’s a truly rewarding experience. My goal is for her to visit classrooms, fostering a connection between the next generation and nature,” Schultz stated in the press release. Schultz studied community-based conservation and youth programming in Mexico, Paraguay, Kenya and Namibia, in addition to eight years of experience in environmental education. She has experience working with wildlife including birds of prey. “Lizzy Schultz has done an amazing job creating new programs, events and attractions like this for our wonderful nature center,” Youngblood said in the press release. The Burgess-Shadbush Nature Center is free to visit from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Wednesdays-Saturdays, and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. Staff requests that visitors approach Artemis’ enclosure “quietly and calmly” to make her transition to the nature center a smooth one. Call Staff Writer Kara Szymanski at (586) 498-1029.

UTICA — A film featuring Utica Community Schools student Maritsa Skowronek earned a Michigan Emmy last month. Skowronek, a Utica High School student, is featured in a film about individuals with Down syndrome that won in the human interest category during the Michigan Regional Emmy Awards ceremony June 17. The film “Chromosomally Enhanced: What’s Your Superpower?” demonstrates how the extra chromosome in individuals with Down syndrome gives them an ability to see the world through rose-colored glasses. The qualities the film celebrates — care, sincerity and empathy — are qualities that Skowronek represents, the school district stated in a press release. “Chromosomally Enhanced: What’s Your Superpower?” was directed by Keith Famie, pictured with Skowronek.

SELFRIDGE CELEBRATES 100 YEARS OF AERIAL REFUELING BY DEAN VAGLIA

dvaglia@candgnews.com

HARRISON TOWNSHIP — When military planes roar by for a flyover, onlookers usually spot some of the U.S. Air Force’s fastest and flashiest jets. But on June 27, two unsung heroes of military aviation took off from Selfridge Air National Guard Base for a statewide tour in their honor. The two KC-135 Stratotankers took off on a foggy and smoke-filled morning in

CRIME

WATCH Driver arrested for drinking, child endangerment

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 10:50 p.m. June 16, an officer was on patrol in the area of M-59 and Ryan Road when he initiated a traffic stop for a traffic violation. Upon talking to the driver, the officer observed her to be slurring her words and having difficulty speaking. Further, her eyes were red and glossy, and the smell of alcohol was on her. The officer then had the driver exit her vehicle so she could be placed through field sobriety tests. After completing the tests, the driver was offered a preliminary breath test, and the results were 0.108% blood alcohol content. The driver was then placed under arrest for operating while intoxicated. Police were requesting additional charges of child endangerment, as the driver reportedly had her young child in the vehicle.

Money missing from bank account

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — On June 16, a resident came into the Police Department to file a fraud report. The resident stated that she had noticed $2,000 missing from her personal bank account. She believed that her husband, from whom she is in the process of getting a divorce, took the money from her account. The woman’s divorce attorney advised her to file a police report for court purposes.

Wrong-way drunken driver causes crash

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 11:15 p.m. June 26, officers were dispatched to the area of M-59 and Dequindre Road for

late June for a nearly three-hour flight, buzzing by Michigan landmarks and communities in recognition of 100 years of in-flight refueling. Joined by two A-10 Thunderbolt II “Warthog” attack jets, the KC-135s showcased in-flight refueling across the state as part of a nationwide celebration of in-flight refueling’s centenary. “On June 27, (1923) the Army Air Corps delivered fuel gravity-fed from one airplane to another airplane,” said Chief Master Sgt. Maurice Graves, group senior

enlisted leader of the 127th Wing’s air refueling group. On that date 100 years ago, 1st Lt. Virgil Hine and 1st Lt. Frank W. Seifert made the first in-flight refuel by running gas down a hose from their DH-4B biplane to another DH-4B on a flight from Los Angeles to San Diego. Though the six-hour flight proved refueling could be done, another flight was made on October 25, 1923, from Lumas, Washington to Tijuana, Mexico, in order to prove in-flight refueling could extend flight

distances. A fatal accident a month later stopped in-flight refueling operations for about five years, but refueling resumed for demonstrations in 1928 and were fully embraced by the Air Force in 1948 to support the Strategic Air Command. The first in-flight refueling planes were stationed at Selfridge in 1959 with the KC97 Stratofreighter being flown by the 4045th Air Refueling Wing and the 500th Air Refueling Wing into the 1960s. The 127th

reports of a wrong-way driver on M-59. Officers arrived in the area a short time later and observed that the wrong-way driver had crashed into another vehicle, which police said caused the other vehicle to roll over. Neither driver was injured in the crash, according to police. Upon talking to the driver who was at-fault in the crash, officers could smell the odor of intoxicants on him, and his speech was slurred. Officers then placed him through field sobriety tests. After completing the field sobriety tests, he was offered a preliminary breath test. He agreed to take the PBT, with the results being 0.19% blood alcohol content. The driver was then placed under arrest for operating while intoxicated and transported to the Police Department.

then decided to file a police report, thinking that his car had been stolen. The vehicle was then located a few days later in the overflow parking lot of the bar that the man had visited.

Upon arrival, officers located a vehicle in the parking lot with heavy damage. The vehicle had crashed into several other parked vehicles in the parking lot.

Attorney general warns of scam

MACOMB SCORES BIG WITH STATE BUDGET

MACOMB COUNTY — As the state of Michigan passed a $81.7 billion budget on June 28, Macomb County received a significant amount of funding for projects around the county. Macomb County’s government received $40 million to fund a renovation project at the Macomb County Jail. The $230 million project aims to rework the jail’s intake and health systems to address mental health and substance abuse issues among inmates. “The central intake and assessment facility is a critical component of keeping our community safe,” Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham said in a statement. “We are committed to upholding our constitutional responsibility to care for those that are in our custody. This new facility will provide us with the necessary space to implement vital programs and services that can make a real difference.” A $13 million allocation was included for upgrades to Selfridge Air National Guard Base for runway extension to prepare the base for a fighter mission in the future. “We can now begin the difficult but essential process of refurbishment and expansion that will allow for a new fighter mission to be assigned here into 2027 and beyond,” state Rep. Alicia St. Germaine, of Harrison Township, said in a statement. Lake St. Clair Metropark received $5 million to renovate the park’s north marina to build a new seawall, a new walkway, update and raise utilities, replace piers with floating docks and make ADA-accessible improvements.

METRO DETROIT — According to Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, fraudulent letters have been received by Michigan residents that claim the state is trying to collect an outstanding debt. The sender might be trying to unlawfully collect a debt owed to the Unemployment Insurance Agency or the Michigan Department of Treasury. The letters claim that an overdue debt requires immediate payment via a toll-free phone number, but he letters are not from the state, the UIA or the Department of Treasury. Legitimate letters from the Department of Treasury will be printed on department letterhead and provide options for paying a debt with an explanation of taxpayer rights. The fraudulent letters seek not only the payments, but information that could lead to identity theft. Anyone with questions about state debts can call the Treasury Collections Service Center at (517) 636-5265. Questions about unemployment insurance can visit the UIA’s website, michigan.gov/ leo/bureaus-agencies/uia, or call the UIA customer service line at (866) 500-0017. Anyone who has been the victim of a scam can file a complaint with the attorney general’s Consumer Protection Team at secure.ag.state.mi.us/complaints/consumer.aspx or call (877) 765-8388.

MDOT installs distracted driving signs at the border

STATEWIDE — The Michigan Department of Transportation installed new signs along the state’s borders last month informing incoming drivers of the new distracted driving law. Coming into effect on June 30, the new law prohibits drivers from using a phone for social media, the internet and other nonemergency purposes while operating a motor vehicle, even while stationary at stop signs and red lights. The law expands on prior bans for talking and texting while operating a vehicle. First-time offenders will be charged a $100 civil fine and/or 16 hours of community service with $250 fines and/or 24 hours of community service for subsequent offenses. Penalties are increased if the cited driver is involved in a crash and for school bus and commercial vehicle operators. Statewide dynamic signs will also display the message, “NEW MICHIGAN LAW, NO HANDHELD DEVICES, WHILE DRIVING.”

JAMES AND HACKEL TALK ABOUT DEFENSE, AUTO INDUSTRIES BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

DETROIT — In a time where finances are all over the headlines, two of the region’s most prominent politicians took time in late June to discuss the state of Macomb County’s economy. U.S. Rep. John James, R-Shelby Township, and Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel joined Michigan business leaders for the “State of the Economy” forum in Detroit on June 26, held at the offices of law firm Butzel Long and sponsored by the Michigan Chamber of Commerce. The two elected leaders addressed the county’s defense and transportation industries. A West Point graduate and former U.S. Army helicopter pilot, James expressed interest in securing a new fighter program for Selfridge Air National Guard Base. “When you look at the degradation of our fighting force here in Michigan — the A-10 Warthog, that fighter mission is being run off — we need to make sure that we have a fighter to replace it here,” James said. “We’re going to lose not only the economic impact but the likelihood of getting another fighter here. We cannot allow that to happen.” Currently home to KC-135 aerial refuting and A-10 attack jet missions, local officials have been trying to secure a fighter mission as the U.S. Air Force remains on track to eliminate its A-10 programs. A recent attempt to secure a

We’re glad to be working with Utica Community Schools to offer equitable CS for its

students and inspire the next generation of technologists,” she stated. Monroe said the partnership gives UCS students experiences that meet the needs of the region’s employers. “Our TEALS professionals provide students with direct industry level experiences and expectations. It is through these partnerships that we are making sure our graduates have a competitive advantage for the high paying jobs right in our back yard,” he said in a press release.

using 25% of it, why don’t I kind of turn this into a little side investment instead of paying rent to somebody else?’” Szymczak recently spoke at the Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce’s Real Estate Forecast Breakfast. During the presentation in March, Szymczak shared that offices in Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills and Royal Oak currently have the highest demand. Nationwide, suburban/urban offices are doing the best, followed by suburban offices.

In his presentation, Szymczak briefly discussed office conversions, such as turning old office spaces into apartments. “That is extremely challenging, it is extremely expensive, and the location and the building only works in a rare case,” Szymczak said. One local community that is taking on several conversion projects is Troy. “What Troy is doing, depending on the structure of the building and if it is supported, we would recommend and look at turning

METRO DETROIT — Years have passed since the COVID-19 pandemic first hit the country, and the work-from-home culture that emerged has inevitably affected commercial real estate and occupancy rates in some sectors of the community. “I think we are probably turning the corner now in office, and now it’s just everybody reconfiguring their spaces and maybe moving around, but I think the percentage of occupancy has probably bottomed at this point,” said Todd Szymczak, the senior vice president of investment sales for Farbman Group. While occupancy rates have been low for the last few years in office buildings in particular, Szymczak said things might be looking up as far as the number of tenants in buildings, since employers are pressing harder to get people back working in offices. “I think, in all likelihood, there will be more people in the office a year from now than there are today and more days than there are today,” Szymczak said. The low occupancy rates in offices have also affected the cost of these spaces. “We get calls from buyers on a regular basis now looking to buy their own office buildings, and I think it’s because the pricing has come down to a point where users recognize this could be a good opportunity to purchase their own space,” Szymczak said. Szymczak said this trend applies mainly to spaces less than 150,000 square feet. He said they have recently sold some buildings around 100,000 square feet where the purchasers are not using the whole thing, but see it as an investment opportunity. “People are looking at saying, ‘Hey, if I’m

those office buildings into residential units if it’s feasible and it meets our zoning,” Troy Economic Development Manager Mark Adams said. In Troy, two office buildings have recently been approved for conversion to residential use. These properties include the 103,000-square-foot office building at 275 Kirts Blvd. and an office space on Crooks Road, near Big Beaver Road. Between these two buildings, it is expected to bring 334 new housing units to Troy. “It’s an alternative use of the office building that may be vacant or may be going vacant, and that’s what a lot of communities are wrestling with right now, because we’re still in a state of hybrid work environment where some people are working from home and some people working in office, and nobody is sure how that’s all going to shake out over the next few years,” Adams said. “I think you have to be creative with your office buildings.” Adams said he thinks higher-class buildings with a lot of amenities are doing better than the lower-tier office buildings that need a lot of work. Changes in the auto industry are also making a local impact on real estate. “What we are seeing nationally and what we are seeing locally in Michigan is the transformation from a combustion engine to the electronic vehicle, and that’s causing a lot of software and technical operations to expand and to move where there are centers of excellence,” Adams said. By “centers of excellence,” Adams is referring to clusters of technology-based businesses. While every building is different, local experts have observed distinct trends in commercial real estate, many of which are looking positive.

HOMES Secondhand items can cut costs and add style to a new place 14A/ SHELBY-UTICA NEWS • JULY 12, 2023

BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Furnishing a new home can be daunting, but buying used items from Facebook Marketplace and secondhand stores can cut down on costs while adding personal flair. Brianne Minaudo has a job in New York and is split between Michigan, where she resides, and the Empire State. She used to have a house in north Rochester, Michigan, but sold it to get something smaller. Recently, she has been cleared to spend more time in Michigan. She was tired of buying new furniture and said her one rule for her condo was to find things used, preloved or at an outlet. Foundational things such as curtain rods could be purchased new. She collected things from places such as antique stores, old book stores, Facebook Marketplace, clearance sections and other places. She’s even got some things from her grandma and friends. One of her favorite places is called Lamb’s Tail Antiques, which is an antique store on a farm in Armada. Minaudo also decorates with things she already has and feels like she does something called “dopamine decorating.” It’s decorating with items and things that make you happy. “Like just reminders instead of just, you know, going to Pottery Barn and plugging in what’s trendy. I like to do this a lot better,” Minaudo said. Going on a marketplace such as Facebook, Minaudo said, is where she recommends beginners go to get furniture and other decorations for their spaces. “I’d rather pay people who don’t have the use for it instead of Home Depot or Target or bigger corporations who don’t need it as much,” Minaudo said. She said it depends on the style, but she also frequents antique stores because she loves vintage style. She recommends following people who have storefronts on Amazon or who do Ikea hacks — customizing Ikea products. Another perk of buying secondhand is that it’s good for the environment. “Because you’re not just buying new and then having all this waste going everywhere as well; you’re giving it a new life,” Minaudo said. Her friends and family helped at her place with painting, having an eye for style or fixing up different fixtures. She said her little sister helps with ideas for decor and goes to antique shops with her. Kellen James, Minaudo’s partner, said it’s been a lot of fun helping her out.

“She has such an amazing vision of what she wants and how to get it, and she’s just an amazing decorator,” James said. He said Minaudo has really made their condo feel like a home. “It just feels like home because she makes it such a warm and inviting place and it’s beautifully put together,” James said. Both Minaudo and James have a lot of fun working on projects and going shopping for decor and furniture. Minaudo said she’s just getting into repainting and refurbishing furniture. “I’ve seen on social media people who just take the most beat up, kind of awful pieces and make it into something so cool and beautiful. I love it,” Minaudo said. Minaudo said her No. 1 idea for finding style is if it makes you happy, it’s part of your style. This can include things found in reading, writing or what people are watching, Minaudo said. She personally gravitates toward history. “So if anyone is looking for their style, look at what you’re naturally into,” Minaudo said. She said she thinks people know their

style, but they’re hesitant, and she sees this in people she’s helped with decorating. “They’ll already know what they want; they’re just almost, like, hesitant or afraid to say, ‘I like this,’ and commit to it because they’re afraid to be wrong,” Minaudo said. ”But when you’re doing something like your home or your clothes, you can’t be wrong if you like it.” Call Staff Writer Alyssa Ochss at (586) 498-1103.

‘THE CAR IS SO QUIRKY AND FUN’ BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — When visiting his aunt and uncle in Tennessee in 1972, Scott Romano spotted a 1960 AMC Metropolitan for sale in the parking lot of a convenience store. The family had just driven by the Graceland home of superstar singer Elvis Presley in Memphis. “Elvis was still alive,” Romano said, remembering a family member who snapped a photo of his mom, Suzanne Romano, with Graceland in the background. “I saw this car for sale. I kept looking at it and looking at it. I had never seen one before.” Romano’s grandfather, Leonard A. Davis — a car buff himself — jotted down the phone number of the seller. Davis called the owner, made a deal and ultimately purchased the two-door Metropolitan for Romano, who was only 12 at the time and too young to get behind the wheel just yet.

“My grandpa thought it was so amusing, he bought it for me,” Romano said. “It had 28,000 miles on it when he purchased it. I was used to antique cars. I grew up

around them.” Romano lived in Clarkston at the time, and Davis resided in Waterford. “My grandpa kept this at his house in

Waterford,” Romano said, who remembers many outings in the convertible with his grandfather. “I used to spend the summers See METROPOLITAN on page 17A

there on Watkins Lake. He would take us for ice cream just about every night. We could put three (people) across in front and two kids in the back. I loved it.” It was through grandpa that Romano learned about cars. When Davis died in 1981, Romano inherited the vehicle. It was bittersweet. “I loved my grandfather. He was so patient about teaching me how to detail a car or tell if a car was original,” said Romano, now of Royal Oak. “My mom said before I even started school, I could call cars by name when they drove by. My mom was into cars, too.” Davis was a noted antique car restorer. He also had a star-studded moment when he portrayed Henry Ford in a couple of scenes in the 50th anniversary feature film “The American Road.” The black-and-white movie was produced in 1953 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ford Motor Co. The production mixes archival footage with reenactments. Romano has still photos of Davis’ shots in the film. “The movie was shown at Greenfield Village and Ford events,” Romano said. “It’s free on YouTube.” Romano’s mom upholstered the seats on the Metropolitan. Although he’s not Catholic, Romano decorated the car’s dashboard with a number of religious symbols,

including the Virgin Mary. “When I was a kid, all the Catholics had them on their dashboards. I started collecting them,” he said, adding they also remind him of the song “Plastic Jesus” from the Paul Newman movie “Cool Hand Luke.” “It was a fun song. It always stuck in my head.” Romano only takes out the two-door Metropolitan occasionally when “I just feel like driving it.” “The farthest I’ve gone is Port Huron or Ypsilanti. It has 37,000 miles on it now,” Romano said. “The car is so quirky and fun. It just makes you feel good. For as little as it is, the turning radius is like a Mack truck. The fenders all have lowrider cutouts.” Through his research, Romano is quite the historian on the 1960 AMC Metropolitan. According to Romano, the Metropolitan is an American automobile that was assembled at the Longbridge Plant in Birmingham, England. “The doors were interchangeable to save money. It does have this fun little feature: Underneath the dashboard, there’s a ventilation door to let air in,” Romano said. The car event he enjoys the most is the Ypsilanti Orphan Car Show held every year. This year’s Ypsilanti Orphan Car Show will kick off with a cruise Sept. 16 and the car show Sept. 17. For more information, visit ypsiautoheritage.org or call (734) 482-5200. “I wish more people knew about it. It’s a beautiful setting on Frog Island (Park),” Romano said. “You get to see Tuckers, Studebakers, Packards.”

D’Andrea from page 3A

Her art is a modern farmhouse type of decor, and her business is called Everyday is Saturday Designs. Her business focuses on outdoor double-sided porch boards, farm signs, home décor, wreaths and party planning. Although as of last summer she has started to take advantage of the numerous craft shows around Michigan, most of her business is from custom orders. You can find her many designs and samples on her Facebook site at facebook. com/EverydayisSaturdayDesigns. She said that coming up with the name of her company was simple for her. After 38 years of teaching as a special education teacher-consultant, D’Andrea retired. Now it feels like every day is Saturday and she can do what she wants. But she needed something to fill up her time, and she had always been very crafty, so she took up painting. With the help of her husband, Walt,

in prepping the wood, her business evolved into a full-time occupation, and she needed help. She knew who to enlist — her best friend, Linda Anstess — and that is where it all began. D’Andrea taught Anstess to stencil, and now they paint three to four days a week together. Linda was also an educator, and their friendship goes back more than 35 years. Anstess said she loves working with D’Andrea to create interesting pieces. “Suzanne is without a doubt one of the most creative, hardworking crafters I know. Her ability to look at an object or picture and re-create it in her own design is outstanding,” she said. Jacquelyn Stillwell, D’Andrea’s daughter, said she is very proud of her mother and all that she has accomplished. “My mother has a true eye for design. She can take a variety of silk greenery, flowers, ribbon and produce a wreath, bouquet, cake stand or wedding arch. She just made all the arrangements for my wedding a few weeks ago. It was amazing,” Stillwell said. D’Andrea said she hopes to continue

Defense from page 8A

training school for foreign F-35 fighter jet pilots failed earlier this year, but the base recently unveiled a new hangar for servicing fighter jets. Hackel shared news about a runway reconfiguration that could make Selfridge a more attractive destination for a future fighter jet mission by shifting the runway north to reduce the base’s effect on a residential neighborhood. Moving into the automotive part of the discussion, Hackel spoke about how the county is improving its infrastructure. He said one such way of doing that is by building high-tech road corridors. “We have the most connected corridors than any other county, not only in the state of Michigan, but I dare say the entire country,” Hackel said. “We started years ago when they started implementing some of the technology for cameras to visualize what’s happening on our roads.” The potential of the connected corridors includes changing traffic light patterns in real time and notifying drivers of obstacles ahead of them. James focused his remarks on the auto industry, expressing a disinterest at emissions regulations set to impact cars for mod-

el year 2027 and his disappointment toward the industry for not aggressively opposing them. The White House is directing companies to have at least half of all passenger cars and light trucks sold in 2030, and all medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles sold in 2040, be “zero emission,” and James in particular took issue with the penalties for noncompliance. “The penalties that will happen between when this regulation goes into effect … will result in $90 billion (in) additional costs to the industry, and that’s not including an additional $9 billion in penalties,” James said. “If you take a look at the nearly $100 billion that would be through the enactment of this regulation at the end of that model year, it is the government taking a punitive approach to businesses.” James also expressed skepticism at the focus on electrification as a substitute for gas-powered cars, stating his desire for “an all-the-above energy approach” for future cars. “I have a hybrid; I have nothing against an ‘all-the-above’ energy approach,” James said. “If you want a battery car, get a battery car, but forcing people into one thing or another and then penalizing our job creators for noncompliance on a short or nearly impossible timeline is a recipe for disaster.”

Selfridge from page 6A

Wing’s 171st Air Refueling Squadron began operating KC-135s in 2007. The 127th Wing’s KC-135s feature five crew members, including one pilot and boom operator. The operators are the ones who handle the job of moving the fuel from plane to plane. The mission of refueling planes in-air has become an essential part of the Air Force, giving equipment based in far and remote locations the ability to be utilized around the world. “It’s aerial refueling that really expands our Air Force’s power,” said 1st Lt. Jacob Hargrove, a KC-135 pilot. “Without it we are severely crippled. We are the true force multiplier, doing so as a deterrence against our enemies and it really does boost our allies in doing such things.” Planning for KC-135 flights begins well in advance of the mission and starts by examining expected weather conditions, planning routes, determining fuel loads and coordinating with the other receiving squadrons. Maintenance squadrons are also making sure planes are running as expected and operations support squadrons help with coordination between pilots. KC-135 pilots begin their training by learning how to fly within 10 feet of other planes with further training focusing on in-air stability and managing the fuel being passed. Boom operators begin on simulators before moving onto a series of test flights over six months.

Shaving cream fight reported

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

Suspected Kohl’s shoplifter tries to flee from police

STERLING HEIGHTS — Police went to Kohl’s, 44200 Schoenherr Road, June 9 upon hearing that suspected shoplifting was in progress. A repeat offender was reported to be putting items such as kids Nike clothing in a cart. The suspect was described as tall and in his 50s or 60s. He reportedly had a salt-and-pepper beard and four missing front teeth. He was reportedly accompanied by a woman wearing a bandana and a tie-dyed shirt. Police waited for the individuals to leave the store and reportedly saw the woman leave from the north entrance and get inside the red Ford Taurus she had arrived in. Then the man reportedly came out of the store with a full shopping court, headed to the Taurus and started unloading merchandise into it. Police contacted the man, but he allegedly tried to run away. Police said they pursued him and eventually found him hiding under a parked vehicle. Although police ordered him not to run away, he allegedly did so again. When police reportedly caught up to him, they demanded he stop, but he allegedly said “no” and ran westward, crossing Schoenherr Road. Police said they finally arrested him for first-degree retail fraud after he crossed the street. Police said the suspect stole 41 items of merchandise worth a total of $1,458. Police also investigated the Taurus and said that, besides the one woman, there were two more female individuals in the car who never went inside the Kohl’s.

Man found guilty of criminal sexual conduct with stepchild

ROSEVILLE — A 37-year-old Detroit man was found guilty in mid-June in Macomb County Circuit Court of two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Following a four-day jury trial that ended June 16, Dewon Henderson was found guilty of the two

counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a person under 13, defendant over 17.

Henderson is scheduled for sentencing Aug. 2 in front of Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Kathryn Viviano. “This guilty verdict marks a significant triumph for justice and a resounding message to sexual assault survivors that their voices will be heard,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said in a prepared statement. “It is our duty to fight for justice, to protect the vulnerable, and to hold perpetrators accountable for their reprehensible actions. This verdict is a step forward in creating a safer society, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to pursuing justice for all survivors.” Joshua Jones, Henderson’s attorney, declined to comment.

Police respond to alleged threat

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — Police were called to the Shell gas station at Mack Avenue and Moross Road at around 1:20 p.m. June 15 after a man reportedly threatened another man with a gun. The victim, a 24-year-old man from Shelby Township, told police that the suspect — a 41-year-old Grosse Pointe Farms man — had walked around the victim’s vehicle, told the victim, “I’ve got something for you,” and gestured toward his hip as if to indicate he had a gun. The victim’s statements were backed up by video of the incident he had recorded on his phone. The victim could also be heard telling the suspect to get away from him. Police, who handcuffed the suspect, searched the suspect and found no gun on him or in his vehicle, but did locate a large folding knife in his pocket attached to his keys and found that he had an invalid license plate. The suspect’s vehicle was impounded. In addition, police issued the suspect a citation for disorderly person “for causing a large disturbance in relation to him making an overt threat that caused fear in (the victim) and citizens in the area,” a police report reads. The suspect told police he hadn’t threatened the victim and that he was warning him that he could get pulled over in Grosse Pointe for having tinted windows.

He departed from the property after he was given the trespassing ticket, police said.
