Clinton Township approves transfer to Priority Waste

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — While there was apprehension about approving the transfer of trash collection services from GFL Environmental to Priority Waste, there wasn’t much the Clinton Township Board of Trustees could do about it.
State Bank of Fraser building has deep roots in downtown
BY NICK POWERS npowers@candgnews.com
The former State Bank of Fraser building has been at the center of the debate about whether Sheetz, a gas station and convenience store chain, should come downtown.
The building sits at the corner of 14 Mile and Utica roads. It is flanked by two gas stations, one on each side. The bank building is a link to another time, before big-box stores and chains were ever-present.
The bank started a few years after a catastrophe. In 1905, there was a large fire that consumed Fraser’s downtown. The blaze happened when Fraser was still a village.
According to Fraser Historical Commission member Tom Iwanicki, the bank was founded in 1910. However, the building was originally in a different spot. Turns out it was across the street, on the east side of Utica.
“The bank grew rapidly, and it was moved and enlarged to its present site,” Iwanicki said in an email. “The stone at the top of the bank that reads ‘1910’ does not denote the age of the building, but the founding of the bank.”
ship Attorney Jack Dolan said Priority Waste was the only company that could reasonably fulfill the needs of the contract.
“It’s my recommendation that we hold our nose, so to speak, and accept the assignment and try to move on in a positive way,” Dolan said. “Hopefully services will improve.”
Dolan mentioned that if the township gives 120 days’ notice, per the terms of their agreement, they can move on to another contract. This is part of the current contract that Priority Waste will inherit from GFL, which is in effect until March of 2026.

On-call Fraser Public Safety Department workers get pay bump
BY NICK POWERS npowers@candgnews.com
FRASER — Even though the budget is approved, some things still need to be adjusted.
At the Fraser City Council’s June 13 meeting, the city’s Public Safety Department got a pay increase in its on-call wages, altering the budget.
Fraser Director of Public Safety Samantha Kretzschmar advocated for the council to eliminate the $10-an-hour pay scale for workers who perform on-call work. The scale was for workers without a medical license. Their pay, and for those in training to be on-call, would now be $15 an hour.
“It’s well below what we think is a fair wage,” Kretzschmar said at the meeting.

Fraser paramedics would now receive $17 an hour for on-call work. For emergency callback time for personnel who respond, this would increase to $20 an hour. This is funded by taking $24,000 from the ambulance fund in the 2024-25 budget.
Mayor Pro Tem Dana Sutherland questioned whether those who had a pay increase from the initial $10 an hour would get a proportionate increase with the new raises.

Legacy Selfridge pilot takes final flight
BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com
HARRISON
TOWNSHIP/ROCHESTER
— After two decades of service, Rochester resident and Air National Guard Maj. Jason Holm has piloted his final military flight.
Taking place over the course of June 13, Holm flew an A-10 Thunderbolt II along with two other pilots around Michigan. The first stop on the trip was to the Grayling Air Gunnery Range for training, flying back along Lake Michigan on a path that went over Charlevoix, Traverse City and Manistee.
The flight marks the end of a military career that began with his enlistment in 2004. Holm’s father, Keith, flew F-4 Phantom II jets out of Selfridge in the 1980s and 1990s. Holm joined the Air National Guard at Battle Creek while in the Western Michigan University aviation program, getting hired on in 2006.
“I enlisted there to try to help get a pilot spot and help get myself through college with all the benefits you get from that,” Holm said. “While I was there, about a semester before I graduated, I was hired for the A-10s out in Battle Creek.”
That year, the A-10s were moved out to Sel-

Families Against Narcotics opens new offices, rebrands
BY NICK POWERS npowers@candgnews.com
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — FAN is still FAN, but the letters have a different meaning.
Families Against Narcotics has changed its name to Face Addiction Now. The switch reflects the nonprofit’s expanded services since it started in 2007.
FAN co-founder Linda Davis, a former 41B District Court judge, spoke about the rebranding at the ribbon-cutting for the nonprofit’s new offices on June 17.
“When we started, we were angry families who wanted to stop narcotics,” Davis said of the name change. “We’ve grown beyond that name. We work with hospitals, police departments, almost everybody in the community and we help everybody face addiction now.”
Davis helped found the nonprofit following a family member’s struggle with addiction. She said this story had a happy ending, but that many similar stories do not. Davis explained that FAN’s aim is to fill in the gaps of the system.
“Where is the system broken and where are we losing people?” she said. “We develop programs around that so nobody slips through the cracks.”
Davis also thanked The Monahan Company for providing FAN with its new offices. The office building is shared by Monahan and Tiny Feet Wellness.
“They are responsible for overhauling this entire building,” she said of Monahan. “It’s hard to find partners that actually want an addiction agency sharing their space. They welcomed us with open arms.”
Other speakers at the ribbon-cutting ceremony included U.S. Rep. John James, Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido, Macomb County Commissioner James Perna, state Rep. Joe Aragona and Clinton Township Supervisor Bob Cannon.
Davis said one thing summed up the year for the organization: receiving a National Institute of Health grant. The grant, which will allow for research on FAN’s programs, provides $1 million dollars each year for 12 years.
“It’s almost impossible for a local community to get a National Institute of Health grant,” she said.
New name reflects expanded services
Inside, the new office spaces were bustling with activity. FAN employees set up tables to provide information for the public about different services the nonprofit offers. Since its inception, the organization has been focused on education. It provides
educational materials to kids across Michigan in a way similar to the D.A.R.E. program, according to FAN Director of Community Education Maddie Tortomasi. It also provides education to police academies and hospitals.

Boaters rescued from storm
HARRISON TOWNSHIP — At around 3 p.m. on June 23, the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office Marine Division rescued four people from a capsized boat on Lake St. Clair, about one mile east of the mouth of the Clinton River.
According to a statement from the office, the boaters intended to fish on the lake but were caught in a storm. Choppy water entered their vessel and did not drain, flipping the boat over. Two Macomb County Sheriff’s Office patrol boats responded to the vessel, rescuing all four boaters, who were wearing life jackets.
“This group of boaters made the best decision possible when they chose to wear life jackets on their outing,” Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham said in the statement. “I sincerely appreciate the efforts of our Marine Division rescuing these individuals and ensuring they made it safely back to shore.”
MSU EXTENSION HOSTING DISCOVERY CRUISES
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — The Michigan State University Extension in Macomb County, along with Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority and Michigan Sea Grant, announce the return of Lake St. Clair Discovery Cruises.

Clinton Township Board of Trustees approves drainage project payment
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — The Clinton Township Board of Trustees unanimously approved its part of the funding for a drainage project totaling $1,558,475.
The township opted to prepay the amount instead of issuing bonds over a 20-year period. A letter recommending the prepayment by Clinton Township Finance Director Mary Hein states that the township saved $779,000 by making this move. The payment is made for the township’s part in the Oakland-Macomb Interceptor Drainage District.
“We will save a lot of money by doing this,” Clinton Township Supervisor Bob Cannon said.
The project addresses the aging Macomb-Oakland Interceptor Drain, which was constructed in the 1970s. According to a letter from engineers on the project, decay caused by sulfuric acid generated by hydrogen sulfide has aged the system. This also caused odor complaints. The project continues lining the system to combat these issues.
Michigan sets recycling record for third year in a row
LANSING — The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy announced on June 24 that Michiganders recycled 703,369 tons in 2023, 82,000 tons more than in 2022. The increase puts the state’s recycling rate at around 23%, keeping the state on track to reaching its goal of a 30% recycling rate by 2029.
According to a statement from EGLE, the more than 700,000 tons recycled equates to every person in Michigan over a 12-month span recycling 140 pounds of cardboard boxes, milk cartons, soup cans, plastic bottles, glass bottles and jars, food waste and other recyclable materials.
“Recycling is not only the right thing to do, but also the smart thing to do,” Phil Roos, EGLE Director, said in the statement. “Recycling properly saves Michigan taxpayers money by increasing the value of recycled materials, supporting Michigan jobs and improving the health of the environment. We know Michiganders want to recycle the right way, and through our ‘Know It Before You Throw It’ campaign and recycling infrastructure investments, we are providing them with the tools to do just that.”

BUSING CHANGES HANDS IN CLINTON TOWNSHIP
BY NICK POWERS npowers@candgnews.com
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Busing won’t change a whole lot, but there will be some improvements. There may even be some familiar faces.
The Richmond Lenox Emergency Medical Services Community Transit program took over Clinton Township’s Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation contract as of July 1. Medstar Ambulance previously provided the service under the contract for residents.
“They’re going to get the same service they’ve always had,” said Jeff White, chief paramedic at Richmond Lenox EMS. “I think that’s been the concern of a number of residents.”
White confirmed that some of the previous full-time drivers are making the switch over to the Richmond Lenox EMS.
“The vehicles will look the same, they will see a number of the same faces there,” White said. “Really it’s just an expansion of what they are already enjoying.”
One large change to the service is the addition of free airport transportation. White said the airport transportation is available to anyone. For those interested, he suggested booking an appointment at least a month in advance. The service is able to schedule pickups for departing and returning flights.
The program currently provides rides for residents in Macomb Township, the city of Richmond and Richmond Township, Lenox Township, New Haven, the village of Armada and Armada Township, Memphis,
Chesterfield Township, New Baltimore and Ray Township. The communities will all be accessible by Clinton Township residents with the new service.
The service does not require proof of residence to utilize it, according to White. As long as you’re at a resident’s home in the township, or one of the municipalities the authority serves, you can get a ride.
“We base this on where we’re picking you up,” White said. “We don’t ask any questions about who’s getting on the bus.”
The Clinton Township Board of Trustees unanimously approved a transfer to the service at its April 15 meeting.
The service is funded by the SMART millage, which residents pay for in taxes. While the service is geared toward seniors and disabled people, everyone is able to utilize it.
“Because everybody in the township pays a tax, we do not limit it to seniors and disabled (people),” White said. “However, See BUSING on page 13A

SADs offer option for improving residential roads
BY NICK POWERS npowers@candgnews.com
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Establishing a special assessment district for residential improvements can often be a controversial issue in a community. Residents may wonder why their taxes are going up for an improvement they may not agree with.
One recent example of this was the SAD paving on North Miles Street. The Clinton Township Board of Trustees unanimously approved a resolution for the project at its June 3 meeting, though it was not without controversy.
Four residents of the neighborhood requested the right to appeal the charges at the meeting. The residents who spoke had issues with the rollout of the improvement.
“Maybe in the future, if you’re doing something which you’re supposed to be working for us, maybe you could put it in layman’s terms so most of us can understand,” resident Debbie Johnson said. “Because a lot of people may not know why they’re here today. Maybe they thought they might stop it, maybe they won’t.”
Special assessment districts are funded by residents to make up the difference when a governmental entity lacks sufficient funds for something specific. Once approved, the governmental entity levies a tax on property owners in the district to pay for a specific improvement or service.
In the case of North Miles, Macomb County picked up half the tab, through a grant, and residents were left to pay $509,298.56. More often than not, SADs fund residential road projects but they can also fund sewer work and street light improvements. Clinton Township Treasurer Paul Gieleghem said Macomb County has $2 million in grant funds available for all townships in the county. He said townships typically get $500,000 to utilize for projects like North Miles.
The improvements for North Miles cover a 1,750-foot-long, 22-foot-wide stretch of pavement on the street. It replaces culverts and makes drainage improvements. The project spans from Little Mack Road west to 20751 North Miles Street.

Clinton Township man arraigned for impersonating firefighter
BY NICK POWERS npowers@candgnews.com
MOUNT CLEMENS — A Clinton Township man was arraigned on June 21 for allegedly twice pretending to be a firefighter.
Jason Edward Barnes, 47, allegedly came to the scene of a homicide and described himself as a fire captain and showed a badge on May 5. He attempted to use the credentials to enter the crime scene. Later that same month, Barnes allegedly showed up to the scene of a fire in firefighter gear and spoke with officials.
“We take the act of impersonating emergency personnel very seriously, as it undermines the trust and safety of our community,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said in a press release. “These actions not only disrupt investigations but could contaminate crime scenes and pose a risk to public safety.”
For his alleged actions on May 5, Barnes was charged with impersonating a firefighter/emergency medical service personnel, a two-year felony; and unlawful use of fire em-
blems/logos, a 93-day misdemeanor. For the May 28 incident, he faces another charge of impersonating a firefighter/EMS personnel.
Following a search warrant executed at Barnes’ home on June 19, he was charged with two additional five-year felonies: possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, and possession of ammunition by a prohibited person. He is being charged as a habitual fourth offender.
The investigation into Barnes is ongoing and more charges may be possible, according to a press release from the prosecutor’s office.
Barnes was arraigned on all the charges on June 21 in the 41B District Court in Clinton Township. Magistrate Ryan Zemke set bond at $250,000 cash/surety only. A probable cause hearing was scheduled to be held before Judge Carrie Fuca at 1:00 p.m. on July 2, after press time.
Barnes was not yet represented by an attorney at press time, according to court records.

“As we move along, we can utilize that provision in the contract to seek out another vendor, if that would be appropriate,” Dolan said.
The board said they had constituents who complained about spotty service from GFL in recent weeks during the transition. Even many members on the board said their garbage wasn’t picked up on time.
“Through the years, GFL has done a great job in Clinton Township,” Supervisor Bob Cannon said. “The last several weeks, it’s been very poor. I think all of us on the board know that. I think all of our staff knows that.”
Trustee Mike Keys said he was disappointed by the lack of alternatives available, though sticking with Priority Waste was the smartest choice in this instance.
“It’s always important to go out for a competitive bid process,” Keys said.
A May 29 letter informing GFL employees of the sale of the company’s residential assets was leaked on social media.
“It is very unfortunate that Township officials learned of the sale from social media post, rather than from our contracted service provider,” said Clinton Township Treasurer

Paul Gieleghem in a press release following the leak. “This failure to officially communicate with their community partners casts a cloud of doubt over both companies, and their commitment to providing the good faith public services to our residents.”
“I was extremely upset I learned about this through a Facebook post,” Trustee Julie Matuzak said. “We weren’t notified. We didn’t know.”
Priority Waste Vice President of Municipal Sales Dan Venet was on hand to answer any questions from board members. He highlighted the company’s responsive customer service and its technology. Venet said it relies on cameras, in part, for much of its oversight.
“Our priority integrated technology center allows us to digitally watch all of our trucks that are on the road through our camera systems and GPS,” Venet said. “We use that in combination with in-field supervision as needed.”
Board members, while critical of GFL and the transition rollout, mostly praised Priority Waste.
“I have been to your Hall Road center. It is pretty remarkable,” Trustee Dan Kress said. “About 100 screens on the wall and very courteous and very enthusiastic employees that seem to love their job. So you’re doing something right.”
Venet also confirmed that no former workers from GFL have started with Priority Waste during the last days of the current assignment. He said this is set to happen after the
The Run Drugs Out of Town 5K run/walk event also provides a way for families to connect and raise funds for the nonprofit. This year’s event was at Jimmy John’s Field in Utica on June 30. Ryan Reblin, regional director for FAN chapters, said a big part of it is breaking the stigma of addiction.
Free support groups for families impacted by addiction are available. According to Pam Blair, FAN Family Coaching Program coordinator, the 12-session program helps families with things like dynamics, communicating, setting healthy boundaries and the difference between helping and enabling. Blair said she wishes she had the program when her son struggled with addiction.
“I’m so thankful to give families the help I didn’t have,” Blair said.
FAN has offered therapy since August. Jenn Smalenberg, an outpatient therapist with FAN, explained that the nonprofit offers group and individual therapy. The 12-week program utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy. The services do not require health insurance. Smalenberg is the only therapist taking patients currently, but she said the organization hopes to get interns in the fall to make the service more available.
The nonprofit offers a host of other services, expanding on its initial mission. It now incorporates a list of harm reduction measures. Harm reduction can take a number of forms. For FAN, it means things like providing clean needles, fentanyl test kits, Narcan kits in public spaces, condoms and intervening to redirect nonviolent drug offenders from imprisonment.
“Some people are not ready for treatment yet,” Reblin said. “We want to make sure that they’re at least healthy in the meantime.”
One feature of the new space is an entrance specifically for FAN, allowing for privacy for those getting tested for HIV.
“They really thought that through when they were creating this space for us,” Reblin said.
Chelsea Geddes, who helps administer the testing, said the service meets people where they’re at and can also provide an opportunity to provide information beyond testing. She said the aim is to make people feel safe in a difficult situation.
“I want someone to feel as comfortable as they possibly can walking in here,” Geddes said.

Cannon asked if adjusting the contract was possible. Venet said he couldn’t authorize that, but said the company would come back to the table when the contract is up to discuss options.
“This contract is not ours, it’s GFL’s,” Venet explained. “It’s not, in our legal opinion, able to be negotiated.”
“I’m disappointed,” Cannon said. “That’s the first time I’ve been disappointed in your company. I think you’re doing this board and this community a disservice. You’ve got all the cards, there’s no other company that can do it.”
The scope of the acquisition is vast.
“This sale encompasses assets and collection operations within Oakland, Washtenaw, Livingston, Macomb, Genesee, and Wayne Counties,” John Addison, GFL General Manager for Wayne, stated in a letter to employees. “It includes the transfer of contracts with 75 municipal customers as well as 70,000 homeowner’s associations and subscription residential customers.”
For its part, Priority Waste has assured residents in the many communities where it has assumed contracts that service will remain the same.
“The way that the service is provided today is the way the service will be provided with us July 1,” Venet said. Call Staff Writer Nick Powers at (586) 498-1059.

“That’s not fair,” Sutherland said. “Personally, I think there should be an adjustment for those who were at $12.65 and have earned that increase.”
Kretzschmar said she understood the concern but felt that the flat increase was fair.
“We do think that this is a fair wage for them to be at based on the going rate around here, the way we do our system and the way the other paid-on-call departments work,” Kretzschmar said.
Councilman Kenny Perry Jr. also questioned the increases.
“It sounds like it’s too low for people
who are putting their life on the line,” Perry said.
Kretzschmar pushed back, saying that most of the people in these positions have other sources of income.
“They want to be here to do this because they have a passion for it, a love for it. They want to do community service, they want to help out, they want to be part of the department, part of the team and everything we do here,” she said. “But it’s not their full-time thing.”
The increases were approved in two separate motions: one to approve the updated wages and one amending the city’s budget. Both were unanimously OK’d by the council.

The bank moved across the street and reopened in 1930, according to an “Images of America” book about Fraser and its history. It was constructed with Bedford limestone. Inside, the bank featured gray Tennessee marble, Botticino marble from Italy, antique Vermont marble and solid walnut woodwork. It cost $47,000 to build.
The year before the move the bank was robbed, according to the book. It states that three robbers made off with $1,180.
“A shower of bullets rained upon the three hoodlums, as an assistant cashier of the bank and a Macomb County vigilante member fired upon the bandits,” the history states. “Other citizens, heeding the vigilante alarm, got into the cars to pursue the crooks.”
The robbers, who were heading in the direction of Detroit, were never caught.
Iwanicki said the bank was expanded and renovated in 1958. Later, the stone was sandblasted to give the building a newer appearance, and drive-up teller lanes were created.
Fraser made the leap from a village to a city in 1957, according to a history of the city compiled by Barbra Meyers. Charles
The structure has never been declared a historic site. It’s been vacant since 2019.
The bank was acquired by Security Bank of Commerce in 1990, according to previous reporting by C & G Newspapers.
A 1999 Macomb Daily article detailed plans to demolish the building and replace it with a smaller bank and a CVS pharmacy.
Following protests, this never happened. CVS later opened down the road at Garfield Road and 14 Mile.

Sheetz held an open house in March at the Fraser Lions Club to inform residents about the proposed development. Many residents were opposed to the bank being demolished for a Sheetz.
At the meeting, resident Lori Kusmierz said while she has nothing against the chain, she didn’t think it’s a good location.
“I know the residents of Fraser are very emotionally attached to the bank,” Kusmierz
said. “I think that’s a lot of the problem here. If that bank wasn’t there and it was a vacant lot, I do believe there wouldn’t be the pushback there is right now.”
The fate of the bank will be decided by Fraser’s City Council. The next step for Sheetz is to try to get a proposed development approved by the council for a conditional rezoning agreement. No date has been set for council to take on the issue.

mines how much residents in the district pay out in taxes for the project. For North Miles, the average front foot cost was $149.36. Residents can pay the costs up front or spread them over 10 years. The highest approximated cost for a property owner for the North Miles project is $17,910.90. Gieleghem acknowledged these costs are high.
“We need to find a way to lower the cost of these special assessment districts,” Gieleghem said. “We need money from the state dedicated to subdivision streets.”
North Miles resident Lewis Comaianni questioned last minute changes to the costs of the SAD at the June 3 meeting.
“We want to get our numbers straight because this is a lot of money,” Comaianni said. “You’re talking $17,000 for me, personally. I just retired.”
Special assessment districts were established by Michigan Public Act 51. Gieleghem explained that funds captured from the gas tax and vehicle registration fees funnel into the Michigan Transportation Fund. Through the public act, the money is then distributed to the Michigan Department of Roads (39%), cities and villages (22%) and counties (39%).

Once this is done, a public hearing is held to provide information to residents before the township board votes on whether or not to approve the project. The project then goes to the Macomb County Department of roads to carry out the construction.
“Final decisions are ultimately made by the Macomb County Department of Roads,” Clinton Township Department of Public Services Director Mary Bednar explained in a video on the township’s website.
Gieleghem said residents from the community take initiative to advocate for SAD improvements. North Miles resident Greg Csernai went door to door to make sure people in the neighborhood were aware of the costs of the project. He said he did get pushback from residents when he approached them.
“Every neighbor in our neighborhood had a chance to look at the cost,” he said.
Clinton Township Supervisor Bob Cannon said that this type of debate is typical for a SAD. He said the opinions of residents about such improvements can often be split.
Cannon said one of the most difficult parts of his job is seeing neighbors mad at one another.
“I hope you’re happy with it and I hope you get along with your neighbors,” he said.
Saturday it runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The airport shuttle picks up passengers from 5 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Residents can book an appointment by calling (586) 749-7713 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. White said there is no limit on how far in advance you can book an appointment. He said Mondays are typically the busiest days to call to schedule a ride. If a resident does not get in touch with a representative, they can leave a message and get a call back the same day.

fridge as part of the Base Realignment and Closure Act, putting Holm on the path to fly out of the base his father used to. After several years of officer pilot training on T-37 and T-38 jets, Holm went through six months of training on the A-10 and then began going on mission flights.
“I love it,” Holm said of the A-10. “It’s always an Army and Marine favorite. Our job is supporting guys on the ground, so thinking about the 18- or 19-year-old rifleman on the ground and being able to support them. I know multiple people that at some point in their military career, they’ve been saved by an A-10.”
Holm’s career led him to fly the A-10 in a variety of places. He was deployed to Afghanistan in 2011 and 2019, and in Kuwait in 2015, as well as in Europe: in Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania. In 2018, he flew in an A-10 painted in World War II invasion markings over Normandy as part of the 74th anniversary remembrance of the landings on June 6, 1944.
“We got to fly out of England and fly over the whole Normandy route with a bunch of C-130s based out of Europe, so we all got to fly together up and down the coasts and over the cemeteries out there,” Holm said. “I think they were dropping paratroopers, like the reenactment they do every year. It was pretty cool to get to cross the English Channel in a D-Day painted A-10.”
Before touching down for the last time in an A-10, Holm made several passes over the runway for friends and family who came out to witness the occasion. Once he landed, Holm was summarily sprayed with both wa-
ter and champagne. He shared some words and mementos with the squadron before heading to the American Legion post in Rochester to cap off the night with over 60 family members and friends.
“I’ve been super lucky to be able to get this job and be able to do it for as long as I have; I’ve been extremely lucky with all that,” Holm said. “My parents encouraged me to do this and supported me throughout the whole thing. I’m excited to move on and spend more time with the family. I have two little boys now and I’m excited to spend time with them a little more.”
While his time behind the yoke of an A-10 has come to an end, Holm is not leaving the pilot’s seat anytime soon. After retiring from the Air National Guard later this fall, he will join American Airlines’ roster of 737 pilots, a job Holm was hired for in 2018.
