Red-tailed hawk becomes Burgess-Shadbush Nature Center ambassador

Getting the band back together for a good cause

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.

METRO DETROIT — They’ve played to crowds across the globe, appeared on national television and recorded several albums, but the one thing the band PBM can’t do is categorize their music.

Lead singer and guitarist Nate Castle, of Grosse Pointe Park, took a stab at it: “Just probably alternative rock,” he said after some thought.

Trumpet player and vocalist Tom Torrento, of Grosse Pointe Woods, said the band’s new CD, “Do It Again” — which will be celebrated with a record release party and live video shoot July 27 at the Crofoot Ballroom in downtown Pontiac — is tough to define because of the band’s eclectic mix of instrumentation and blend of vocal harmonies.

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 late June for a nearly threehour flight, buzzing by Michigan landmarks and communities in recognition of 100 years of in-flight refueling.

Catching Cancer Before It’s Too Late

Early Cancer Detection Made Possible: Michigan’s First MRI Total Body Screening Clinic Now Open in Southfield, Pioneering Symptom-Free Diagnosis.

I’ll never forget the words of a patient who recently completed a total body cancer screening with me: ‘Doc, you saved my life!’

Despite having no symptoms, we discovered a tiny tumor lurking and growing inside of him. Without early detection, the mass could have silently grown into late-stage cancer, leading to excruciating treatments and a potentially dire outcome.

Thanks to the power of early detection, cancer was discovered before it was too late. It’s moments like these that are precisely why total body screening saves lives. As a general rule, when someone presents to the doctor with a symptom related to cancer, they are usually at stage III or stage IV. Even with annual physicals, there are limitations. Most screening tests that are covered by insurance companies only cover about 29% of cancers. The other 71% of cancers occur in areas where doctors are unable to screen, and insurance companies will not pay for screening. This is where Bionicc Body Screening in Southfield can save lives.

I am Dr. Warren Ringold, and last month marked the fifth anniversary of the day my life changed forever.

Five years ago, I was diagnosed with stage IV cancer in my chest and

abdomen. The most alarming part is that I had no symptoms before this diagnosis. This is the great dilemma of cancer: the need for early detection.

Early diagnosis is key to successful treatment, and cancer needs to be detected when it is most treatable.

My personal stage IV cancer journey has been long and rugged.

My tumor eventually was recurrent in my brain after an initial seven months of chemotherapy. I have been extraordinarily lucky. After being told that I would live only two months without treatment on my brain, I was fortunate enough to become patient number one in a new drug study and I have been in remission 5 to 8 times longer than expected.

During that time, instead of ending up with the indignation of dying, from a brain tumor in front of my family with seizures and eventual blindness, I have been able to see twins, born as grandchildren, ball games, swim meets, graduations, while watching my grandchildren and children achieve.

Most importantly, I’ve gotten to hold my wife, Nancy, in my arms for more than 1500 more nights of my life.

I get to hug my children and kiss my 13 grandchildren. They don’t have to look at me with tears in their eyes, because

0309 Bionicc 4C

Dr. Warren Ringold, M.D. they see Papa deteriorating. What a gift that has been. But very few patients are as fortunate as I have been, which is why I founded Bionicc Body Screening.

At Bionicc Body Screening, we can screen for cancer from the top of the head through the genitals, detecting cancers as small as the size of a pencil eraser. We use highly advanced and sophisticated MRI screening, which can find small cancers in areas where doctors cannot order testing that will be covered by insurance.

The irony is that these cancers start out very small, and they are very treatable at this stage. They are usually stage one and can be seen in

every organ of the body, including the dreaded pancreas. While screening for cancer, we can also find many other things that need to be treated or watched, such as brain, abdominal, chest, and groin aneurysms.

If detected at this stage, treatment for stage one cancer is usually simple resection of a tumor. Unfortunately, if you are stage III or IV like most people, it results in vigorous and difficult treatment with much poorer outcomes.

It is unfortunate that some patients resist screening due to fear. Despite their desire to take the test, they unnecessarily delay it out of fear of receiving potentially distressing news about their health. Giving in to fear can only make matters worse and potentially allow undetected health problems to spiral out of control.

Don’t put off your screening any longer. Ask yourself, when is a better time to take action than right now?

Don’t wait another 6 months or even another day. Prioritize your health and get screened today.

The only regret patients have is that they waited. Don’t wait. Get a total body cancer screening today. Call 1-833-BIONICC (1-833-246-6422) today, or learn more now by visiting www.BioniccBodyScreening.com.

U.S. Rep. John James and Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel spoke to Michigan business professionals in Detroit about the defense industry and auto industry on June 26.

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.”

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. For more information on the film, visit whatisyoursuperpowerfilm.com.

Carl M. Levin ship commissioned into U.S. Navy

DETROIT/BALTIMORE — On June 24, at the Port of Baltimore, in Maryland, the USS Carl M. Levin was commissioned into the U.S. Navy. The ship is named for Carl Levin, a lifelong Detroiter, former U.S. senator, and former chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services. Levin died in 2021 at the age of 87.

The Carl M. Levin was built by General Dynamics Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine. The USS Carl M. Levin (DDG120) is a U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class Flight IIA guided missile destroyer, the 70th overall for the class.

The vessel was launched May 16, 2021, and delivered to the U.S. Navy Jan. 26, 2023. The ship will transit to her homeport at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, in Hawaii, following commissioning.

In peacetime and in wartime, the multi-mission ships conduct a variety of operations that provide a number of warfighting capabilities against threats in the air, on the surface and below the surface, according to the Navy.

Levin served in the U.S. Senate from 1979 until his retirement in 2015. He served on several committees during his years of service. Prior to that, he served on the Detroit City Council, including the office of president.

Footage of the commission ceremony can be viewed on YouTube by typing in the words “USS Carl Levin Commissions in Baltimore.”

WORLD WAR II VET BECOMES CENTENARIAN

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

Alfred Bury, of Warren, holds up a photo of himself when he was in the service during World War II. On the table next to him is a photo of his brother Leonard, left, and Bury on the right. They both served their country during the war.

WARREN — This month, World War II veteran Alfred Bury will reach a milestone.

On July 21, the Warren resident will turn 100 years old, or as some would say, 100 years young.

Although his legs don’t work like they used to and he has to think a bit before speaking, Bury’s memory is sharp, his smile is sincere and his life stories come straight from the heart.

Bury was born July 21, 1923, in St. Francis Hospital in Hamtramck, which is now the Hamtramck City Hall building. He was one of five boys born to Steven and Stella Bury.

His early years came with sadness. Bury was just 9 years old when his father died. When he was 13, Bury’s mom came down with tuberculosis and couldn’t care for the family.

“We were wards of the state and put in care at St. Vincent de Paul,” Bury said. “She spent three years in the hospital.”

When she finally recovered, Stella was reunited with her children. In 1942, Bury graduated from Hamtramck High School. He admits he “was not a good student.”

“My (older) brother Leonard was a good student,” Bury said, adding that when Leonard’s former teachers found out they had Bury in class, they told him “We expect a lot from you.”

Miss St. Clair Shores Teen crowned as ‘Outstanding’ in state

BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com

ST. CLAIR SHORES — Kylie D’Andrea’s hard work paid off as she was crowned Miss Michigan’s Outstanding Teen over Father’s Day weekend.

D’Andrea started taking part in competitions when she was 12 years old, and she won five titles as Miss St. Clair Shores Teen. She was the first runner up for two years at the Miss Michigan’s Outstanding Teen competition before winning this year and also winning the interview award.

“It was very rewarding after all those years, you know, working for it, but very thankful that I have it now,” D’Andrea said.

The Miss America Organization, the main organization the state competitions fall under, gives out scholarships, D’Andrea said. As Miss Michigan’s Outstanding Teen, she won a full ride academic scholarship to the University of Alabama and $5,000 in other scholarships.

Girls who take part in the competition come from all over the state, D’Andrea said.

“Girls are from the bottom of the state. One girl is actually from the Alpena area, so very far away. Then, there’s a lot of girls from metro Detroit, Saginaw, so we’re all kind of scattered,” D’Andrea said.

The categories for Miss Michigan’s Outstanding Teen are a 10-minute interview, talent, athletic wear, evening gown and an onstage question, D’Andrea said. Her talent performance was a jazz dance to “Baby I’m a Star” by Prince.

Miss St. Clair Shores, Izzy Wallace, was the first runner-up in the Miss Michigan competition that occurred the same weekend.

tack 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 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 model 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.”

Band from page 1A

bum) is a completely different genre,” said Torrento of the recording that references rock, country, bluegrass, 1950s rock, alternative and more.

“Over our history we’ve always said, ‘If you don’t like the song you’re hearing now, just stick around and you’ll probably like the (next one),’” Torrento continued.

PBM is rounded out by trombone player and vocalist Jeremiah “Miah” Hoehner, of Warren; bassist and vocalist Dave Krogh, of Madison Heights; drummer Steve Zdanio, of Royal Oak; saxophonist Matt Marion, of Holly; and Castle’s dad, accomplished veteran musician Gerald Castle, of Warren, on guitar, mandolin and banjo.

PBM originally stood for Peanut Butter Mosquitoes and was later changed to mean Poor Boy Music, but the band members say it can now stand for whatever people want it to stand for. The band simply uses the acronym. The musicians first met more than 20 years ago, when they were all band students at Cousino High School in Warren.

The band was touring full-time from about 2003 to 2007 and had a nationally released CD in 2006 — that’s also the year the band was featured on the first season of “America’s Got Talent.”

“We didn’t even know what it was,” Castle said of the now long-running TV competition show. Castle said they were playing a blues club when they got the call to audition for “AGT.” He said the show in its infancy was a far cry from what viewers see today and recalls judges that season included actor David Hasselhoff and TV host Regis Philbin.

But being on the road full-time became a grind, and the musicians eventually decided to stop touring and start careers that would enable them to be close to home and their families.

“It’s very difficult to make music (for a living),” Castle said.

Castle is now a church pastor in St. Clair Shores and a music teacher at Grosse Pointe Academy in Grosse Pointe Farms. Torrento teaches band at Grosse Pointe North High School, Parcells Middle School and Brownell Middle School, and he’s also the director of the Grosse Pointe Public School System’s north-end pep, jazz and marching bands.

When they decided to record a new album, the band members agreed they should do a release party that doubled as a fundraiser for school music programs, because those same programs played such an important role in their lives and continue to do the same for students today.

“All of us are products of high school and middle school music programs, and all of us are seeing how these programs are continuously being cut,” Castle said.

Proceeds from their record release party will be distributed to school music programs.

The band members are now in their late 30s to early 40s, with the exception of Gerry Castle, who’s 68. When PBM was on the road in 2003, Gerry Castle was 48.

“I used to joke that we’re touring with an old guy (in 2003), and now that I’m 41, I don’t think that’s funny at all anymore,” Nate Castle admitted with a laugh.

While they haven’t been as active on the music scene in recent years, the band members have remained connected.

Torrento married Castle’s cousin, making them cousins, but because of their already tight bond, Torrento said, “We were brothers before that.”

“We’ve been seeing each other every day for the last 20 years,” Castle said.

Both are the parents of four children apiece.

“Our kids have grown up together,” Torrento said.

And Hoehner “married one of our collective good friends, so now he’s part of the web,” Torrento said.

Recording a new album is something they’d been discussing for years, and they finally entered the studio a couple of months ago to lay down the tracks for “Do It Again.”

“I think we’re having so much fun with the recording process, we’re going to keep on doing this,” said Castle, adding that they hope to record and release about five songs at a time.

Castle said he doesn’t think any of the other bands they once performed with are still together. The bandmates attribute their longevity to deep friendships that started in high school.

“Unlike a lot of bands that are out there, first and foremost, we like each other,” Torrento said. “We don’t stay together for the music.”

Besides being a fundraiser for school music programs, the July 27 concert is also going to serve as the launching pad for a performing arts scholarship in the name of Tim Webber, a former PBM drummer who later played in The Killer Flamingos and died suddenly early this year at the age of 42. Castle said Webber’s twin brother, Matt, will be performing at the show. PBM and the Webber family hope to create a lasting legacy for a talent taken too soon; Castle said besides being a musician, Webber was also interested in musical theater, which was his major at Oakland University.

“I think it’s a good way to honor Tim (and) his memory and keep the memory of

Like the show July 27, Castle said any future PBM concerts “are going to have a purpose.”

Because they want student musicians to be able to attend, this is an all-ages show.

PBM hopes to introduce up-and-coming musicians to audiences and will have a jazz combo playing when people enter the venue and an opening set from Romeo-based punk band Mass Dispute before PBM hits the stage.

“At the end of the day, the 27th is going to be a massive party, a massive celebration,” Torrento said. “The atmosphere is going to be very light and very entertaining.”

The Crofoot Ballroom is located at 1 S. Saginaw St. in Pontiac. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and the concert will start at 7 p.m. Admission costs $15 per person. For more information, visit www.pbmband.com. Anyone wishing to donate to school music programs or the Tim Webber Foundation who can’t attend the July 27 concert can contact Torrento via email at tom@ttorrentomusic.com.

in a humane way. You can’t just drown an animal, for instance. Even pest control companies have very strict guidelines for it. We use CO2 to knock the animal out and then humanely euthanize it.”

Funk said that while there are some organizations that will accept live animals to try and humanely relocate them, they are few and far between and she does not know of any in the metro Detroit area. Her suggestion would be to call professionals to handle the situation whenever possible.

“People can call us to ask about methods,” she said. “They can call us at (248) 688-9703. They can also try their local animal shelter or nature center or contacting the Michigan DNR. There’s a lot of information online as well.”

The best option, according to Funk, is to minimize the risk of having conflicts with nuisance animals in the first place.

“Ways that people can discourage animals from taking up residence or doing damage include not leaving animal food like for

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

pets outside,” she said. “You can make sure garbage cans are locked. If you are trying to keep woodchucks away, you can spread cat litter around the area, so the smell discourages them from approaching.

“We encourage people to use these methods before they turn to trapping or killing. We can avoid these issues just by changing what we do around our homes and properties,” she said.

“The best advice for any human-pest conflict is to avoid it, if possible,” Vanderwep added. “If you’ve got a bird feeder and you’re sick of the squirrels ruining it, you can put it on a pole where the birds can fly to but the squirrels can’t climb. Don’t keep food or plants around that might attract them. You can prevent your garbage from attracting them and so forth.”

Funk wants Michigan residents to be well versed in the law before they take action to confront the wild animals that may be giving them trouble.

“We are not making a statement on this law, so we just want people to know about the change,” she said. “If someone is going to do this, they need to look up the rules, so they know how to proceed.”

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.

Miss Michigan Maya Schuhknecht will compete in the Miss America competition in January.

Wallace said it takes quite a while to get ready for the competitions.

“Only because it’s just a lot of preparing to bring your best, you know, the best version of yourself to the table,” she said.

The categories for the Miss Michigan competition were evening wear, fitness, talent, onstage conversation and a private interview. For the talent category, Wallace chose singing and she performed “I (Who Have Nothing),” by Jordin Sparks.

Both D’Andrea and Wallace said they have community service initiatives and that each contestant gets to choose the platform they stand on. Wallace’s platform is called “Success by Professional Development, Bridging the Employment Gap,” and D’Andrea’s is called “Hope for the Homeless.”

D’Andrea said she goes around the state volunteering at homeless shelters and food pantries. She also makes “Faith in a Bag” gifts with everyday necessities and a Bible verse.

Hawk from page 1A

Andrew England, a Boy Scout from Troop 1478, volunteered to build an enclosure for the red-tailed hawk for 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.

“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.

War time

As World War II raged overseas, Bury answered the call to duty. On March 21, 1943, the 20-year-old enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces. Knowing he would be drafted, Bury and a couple friends enlisted in the service instead, thinking the gesture would keep them together.

“We signed up early to make a deal with the Army,” Bury said.

No deal. The last time Bury saw his pals was at the train station, the Michigan Central Station, in Detroit.

“Most of the draftees in this area went to Fort Custer in Battle Creek,” Bury remembered.

While at boot camp in Florida, he “sort of ” missed home.

“I remember I felt pretty depressed, as in what did I do?” Bury thought. “I had my basic training out of a hotel. They sent me to radar mechanic repair school.”

Good with his hands, Bury became a radar mechanic and serviced B-17 bombers.

“I did maintenance work on the radars preflight before they took off,” he said. “They used the radars to guide them through different cities. We would load the radar equipment onto the plane.”

At one point, Bury was stationed at an air base in Alconbury, England. He was promoted to sergeant.

Because “Bury” was in the name of the air base, Bury joked it was named after him.

On occasion, Bury and the boys would take a brief furlough to London. One hangout was the USO club known as Rainbow Corners, where actress and singer Marlene

0063 HOUSE AD 4C

Dietrich performed.

“She put on a pretty good program,” Bury said.

As World War II continued, Bury said “the only action I heard” was when on military leave at a London club.

“During that night, I heard a huge explosion,” he said. “A V-2 (rocket) exploded.

It sounded like it was right out of the window, but it was about 10 miles away. What a terrific noise it made.”

Four of the five Bury boys served in the military. Ernest was in the Pacific during World War II serving in the U.S. Army.

“Ray joined the service after the war ended,” Bury said.

Leonard was in the U.S. Army at the same time Bury served. When Leonard was injured with shrapnel in England, Bury visited him in the hospital.

While away from home, Bury and his brothers often wrote letters to their mother or to each other. Those handwritten notes stayed in the family and are kept in a shoebox at Bury’s home. In one letter, dated Oct. 13, 1943, Bury wished his mom “A Happy Birthday.”

Bury knew the war would not last forever.

“We knew it was going to have an ending,” he said.

That came one evening in 1945.

“When we got back to the borough, on the bulletin board was, ‘Pack up, we’re leaving,’” Bury said of the signage that greeted them. “In three days, we were on the Queen Elizabeth on the way home. We sailed into New York. We saw tugboats spraying water hoses on us.”

His final day in the service was Nov. 14, 1945. After reaching U.S. soil, Bury ended up in the southwestern part of the country.

But he eventually made it back home.

“You had to have so many points to be discharged,” he said. “When I got to that number, I had the opportunity to pick my discharge center. I picked Roswell, New Mexico, and got paid in cash.”

He then hitchhiked home.

“I was by myself,” Bury remembered. “I got about three different rides and made it back to Detroit.”

When looking at photographs of his time in the military, Bury feels nostalgic.

“I had a pretty good time in the service,” he said.

‘He was a mild guy’

Bury adjusted to civilian life and that’s when love walked in. On New Year’s Eve 1945, Bury’s friend, Harry, fixed him up on a blind date at a Detroit nightclub. Sparks flew between Bury and the young woman named Margaret.

“I must have liked something about her,” Bury said. “We were engaged in a month.”

The couple married Dec. 28, 1946, at St. Florian Catholic Church in Hamtramck.

A reception was held at a “small, rented hall.”

The Burys had six children: Linda, Marcia, David, Alfred, Margaret and Nancy.

Bury, a man of faith who prays the Catholic Rosary every night, supported the family working as a television repairman.

“Mom was the caregiver and Dad was the provider. He worked a lot,” daughter Margaret Butts said. “Mom always did most of the discipline. He was a mild guy.”

Sadly, Bury’s wife Margaret died in 2005.

While growing up, Butts remembers her dad always tinkering around with things.

“He could fix anything,” Butts said.

“He’s Mr. Fix It. A very handy man.”

And he did have “a very dry sense of humor.” One memory Butts shared of Bury happened when she and her siblings were young.

“He would put on my mom’s mink coat over his head and scare us like he was a bear,” Butts remembered.

Bury’s family — which includes 55 grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren — will celebrate his birthday during a family reunion July 22.

About 150 people are expected to attend.

As for his longevity, Bury isn’t sure what he should attribute it to.

“I really don’t know any special things that contributed to it. I did a lot of walking and bike riding,” Bury said. “I feel pretty lucky.”

additional prizes. The drawing will take place at 8 p.m. on Sunday, July 23. Raffle tickets are $10.

The Fraser First Booster Club organizes the parade while the Fraser Lions Club organizes the carnival.

“Fraser First Booster Club loves the chance to show up for the Fraser Parade.

What a wonderful way to thank our community for all their support,” said Fraser First Executive Board Member Vania Apps. “The Fraser Lions Carnival is always an opportunity for fun, food and great music under the beer tent, and a way to catch up with friends you haven’t seen in years.”

She added that the parade will be loads of fun and is a great way to bring local people together. “(On) July 23, the Fraser Parade kicks off a day of family fun. Starting at noon, it runs from Fraser High School and goes south on Garfield to Steffens Park,” said Apps. “Businesses and organizations will line up at the Fraser High School to walk with pride, showing off their banners, decorated floats and vehicles.”

“The parade is important because it really brings the community and families

together. The Fraser First Booster Club is always so happy to be involved with the parade each year,” Apps said.

Derek Demiko, the Lions Club’s carnival chair, said that the event is a team effort that benefits the local community.

“The Fraser Lions is an entire volunteer organization, so everyone who is working at the carnival is doing it as a volunteer. All the money we raise goes back to the community,” said Demiko. “We do everything except the parade. The city manages the fireworks, but we pay for them. We do the vendors and the carnival. … It’s a good time for everyone.”

Demiko added that, while there haven’t been any new additions to the carnival this year, they still have all of the great attractions that have made the event a summer tradition for Fraser residents.

“We do have the cornhole tournament, some great vendors and food trucks, and a lot of great rides,” he said. “We did it in both 2021 and 2022, so we only missed the one year for COVID.” Koch said that this is an event by local community members and for local community members and hopes everyone in the Fraser area will come and check it out.

“It’s a small-town parade for a small town. Most of the people in the parade are local people,” said Koch. “It’s a community event that brings the community together.”

personally are connected to, you’re able to then go out in the community and act on it,” Wallace said.

They also both said they knew some of the other girls before they came to the competition.

D’Andrea said they call it the “sisterhood.”

“The girls are just so sweet, and each and every one of them just empowers you to be better and truly is a great joy to be around,” D’Andrea said.

She recalled a moment when they were calling out the top five and both she and her best friend in the organization were called.

“We ran into each other and gave each other a huge hug, and it’s just those connections and friendships you make are not like normal ones because you have a lot of the same interests and you want to help people and you want to do good,” D’Andrea said.

The next step for D’Andrea is competing in the Miss America’s Outstanding Teen competition in January. She said it is a very neat experience.

“Not only are you competing to be Miss America’s Teen and competing in those categories again, but also you’re meeting girls from the whole entire United States, so then you make connections in each and every state,” D’Andrea said.
