WARREN MAYOR TALKS ABOUT FIRST SIX MONTHS IN OFFICE
BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com
WARREN — In a recent interview with the Warren Weekly, Mayor Lori Stone discussed her first six months in office.
The mayor addressed the cultural shifts at City Hall, hiring a new police commissioner, working toward a police department fully staffed with officers, and the appointment process.
A cultural shift
When Warren’s first new mayor in 16 years first entered City Hall, she was surprised by the atmosphere and culture.
“My staff and I remarked about when we came in, City Hall was silent. You could hear crickets,” Stone said. “The amount of people who said they had never been in the mayor’s office, or that visiting the mayor’s office was like

Metro Detroiters join Warren to celebrate Juneteenth

WARREN — Elected officials from state and city government joined residents from Warren, Center Line, Madison Heights, Sterling Heights and Detroit to celebrate the second Juneteenth celebration in Warren on the front lawn of City Hall on June 22.
“This year’s celebration demonstrated some of the progress that we have made that our ancestors and so many civil rights leaders have been advocating for,” said Michael Howard, the originator and founder of Warren’s Juneteenth event. “We are starting to see the reality of those hopes and dreams.”
Howard pointed to Melody Magee’s election as the first
He created the club for sixth, seventh and eighth grade students to connect with each other when returning to school in Fitzgerald Public Schools after the COVID-19 pandemic. Students have participated during lunchtime, after school and in a popular elective class that was piloted last year.
Dixon was among several educators, administrators and support staff who received a grant this year from Extra Credit Union. The recipients — including Dixon who received $2,000 — wrote

WARREN — A 9-year-old boy was rescued from the pool at the Kings Pointe Apartments on June 17 after reportedly spending several minutes underwater.
According to police, the Warren police and fire departments were dispatched to the apartment complex located in the 14000 block of E. 12 Mile Road near Hayes Road at approximately 5:55 p.m. where family members were performing CPR on the young boy.
Officers observed that the child was breathing on his own and waited with the family until paramedics arrived and took over medical care. Police escorted the ambulance as it transported the boy to a nearby hospital where, at press time, he remained in critical but stable condition.
Warren Police Commissioner Charles Rushton was on the scene along with detectives who interviewed the child’s parents and other family members.
According to the Warren Police Department, the investigation remained open and active at press time.

WARREN — Firefighter Christopher Kosmowski died unexpectedly June 21, according to Warren Fire Department officials.
His colleagues remember him as a hardworking, dedicated and respected member of the department, always willing to go above and beyond to help others. His impact on his fellow firefighters and the community will not be forgotten, a press release from the Warren Fire Department stated.
The release said Kosmowski was also a loving husband and father, whose wife and children were the light of his life.
“The Warren Fire Department is grateful for the years of service and dedication that firefighter Kosmowski provided to the department and the community,” the release stated. “He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.”

Warren Beautification Commission looking to recognize ‘showstopper’ homes
WARREN — Spring is here, and as gardeners get to work sprucing up properties, the Warren Beautification Commission is looking to nominate “showstopper” homes through its Residential Recognition Awards program.
Homes worthy of an award can be nominated by contacting Marilyn at awards.wbc@ gmail.com or by phone/text message at (586) 925-9182. All nominated properties will be considered for an award. The name of the homeowner or renter, address and ZIP code is required as part of the nomination.
In addition to 18 Beautification Awards, there will be two special awards given to homes that utilize native plants in their landscape.
The submission deadline is July 27. The winners will be invited to an awards dinner this fall.
KEEPING COOL IN THE HEAT
WARREN — As temperatures soared above 90 degrees, many found refuge at the fountain at Warren City Hall, east of Van Dyke Avenue and north of 12 Mile Road. Kids of all ages and adults cooled off in the water under sparkling sunny skies as the heat enveloped anyone who braved the outdoors. Many brought snacks, coolers, towels, sunscreen, a change of clothes and went back and forth from the water to a picnic table umbrella where they dried off and enjoyed the goodies they brought.
“This is my second day in a row,” said Monique Perdue. “I came yesterday at like 6:30 (p.m.). They close at 7 o’clock.”
On this day, she arrived much earlier and made a day of it.
“We had to come back again to enjoy this good water,” said Danielle Williams, who was with Perdue. “We ‘re going to make it three-peat.”
The fountain at city hall opened around 2008, according to city officials. It opens on Memorial Day and closes Labor Day and attracts new visitors each year.
“This is my first year here at the splash pad and I like it,” Perdue said.
Her young daughter reiterated her mother’s sentiments.
“We come because it’s fun,” said Dazzlyn Perdue.

CENTER LINE STUDENTS HELP THEIR PEERS IN POSTER PROJECT
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
MACOMB COUNTY/CENTER LINE — Several Center Line High School students are doing what they can to help their peers who might be struggling with mental health issues.
The Macomb County Health Department and psychology students from the high school’s Health and Human Services Academy recently completed a collaborative project in which the students developed posters with messages that promote positive behavioral health.
The psychology students worked in class to create adolescent-focused behavioral health images designed to encourage youth to seek help with mental health concerns or substance use. More than 25 projects were submitted, and the four Center Line High School projects were selected to be published in print and social media.
The four posters chosen were: “Speak Up,” by
Samiat Hasan; “54Y 50METHING,” by Arienna Young and Miles Waugh; “7:45 Nevaeh,” by Jaclyn Kupraszewicz; and “Don’t Smoke Your Fruits,” by Nik Ferrin and Trent Zielinski.
The poster project aligns with Healthy Macomb’s recently published 2024-2028 Community Health Improvement Plan in which behavioral health was identified as a priority area. Healthy Macomb is a partnership between the Macomb County Health Department and more than 25 organizations, agencies, and community members dedicated to identifying and creating solutions that address health concerns in Macomb County. A main component for the plan is a community health assessment which identifies the most prevalent health issues among community members.
“Our assessment was able to capture the voices of more than 6,500 adults through surveys and outreach activities to gather input from county residents,” said Maria Swiatkowski, division director for commu-

Therapy dogs are known to help students reduce stress and increase positive emotions. After undergoing training, Rokicki’s dog is a certified therapy dog.
“He’ll be starting in the fall at Barnes Early Childhood Center. He passed all of his assessments. We brought him in on one of our last days of school on Thursday when there were no kids in the building to start acclimating,” said Jones, who was present at the luncheon. “It was just really exciting to see all the joy he was starting to spread and the positivity throughout that school environment.”
The plan is to continue the program within the Grosse Pointe Public School System.
Winiarski, who also attended the luncheon, said Tau Beta is a kindergarten through eighth grade school, and the snowboard outreach program was for the middle school students.
“The students went snowboarding or skiing. They built mentorships and they strengthened their relationships with staff and with classmates,” Winiarski said. “They also had opportunities to discuss careers re-

Lucido holds workshop to focus on scams, fraud
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
WARREN — When you fill out an application online — which could include your name, home address, date of birth and mother’s maiden name — and then push the send button, where does the information go?
“Do you know where the information is stored?” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido asked during a workshop on scams held June 18 at the South Campus of Macomb Community College in Warren.
There’s a good chance it’s being sold or transferred to a third party, and that’s how your email inbox fills up with unwanted messages and your cellphone number gets out to solicitors. It also opens up the door for scammers to obtain personal information from unsuspecting people who ultimately steal their money and even their identity.
“We’ve changed the way we’ve done business,” Lucido said during the workshop he coordinated with Chase Bank representatives. “We’ve come a long way with technology, but we’ve also learned we’re getting spoofed, scammed and everything else. We’ve seen a tremendous amount of fraud, a tremendous amount of injustices from people’s money being taken. The World Wide Web has been devastating for some people.”
In an effort to prevent fraud among the public, especially senior citizens, Lucido published the booklet called “Stopping Crimes Against Macomb Seniors,” also known as S.C.A.M.S. The 30-page publication includes information about identity theft, internet fraud, guardianship, phone calls, scams and more. Lucido said when personal information is filled out, people are inadvertently giving permission to companies and other entities to sell or transfer that information.
“They’re poaching your email,” he said. “They’re selling your emails.”
When filling out forms, Lucido suggest-
“Phishing is when you get an email that looks reputable but asks you to call a fraudulent number, respond to the email or go to a website and enter personal information. “Vishing” is like “phishing” but is done over the phone by voice instead of email. One way scammers cheat people out of their money is by impersonating a police officer, the IRS, U.S. immigration authorities,

ed that people use the “opt out” selection so their personal information isn’t sold. Lucido and the Chase Bank representatives shared other tips to watch out for. There are four components scammers use to hook potential victims: pretend, payment, prize or problem, and pressure.
They’ll try to convince gullible people of an existing relationship, instruct them to send money in a very specific way and often state the matter at hand is urgent. They usually offer a great reward or scare people with grave consequences.
“Spoofing” is when scammers call from phone numbers with caller IDs that look to be from respectable organizations but are not.
Getting students involved in the design and development of behavioral health messages allows them to be a part of positive change we are looking to promote through the Community Health Improvement Plan.”

visiting the principal’s office, really surprised me. Because for me, the mayor is about being the champion of a city.”
According to Stone, department meetings were quiet but are now boisterous with robust conversations before and after the meetings. Department heads are talking to each other and collaborating about how to do things better.
“My impression is and what was shared with me is people feel a pressure has been lifted,” said Stone about employee morale. “A weight has been lifted off their shoulders. There is a more joyful, jubilant workspace.”
Part of being a “champion” for the city and the cultural shift is celebrating city employees and their accomplishments.
“We celebrate everything,” Stone said.
When the mayor’s staff or department heads meet, everyone shares a victory whether it is significant or small, according to Stone. As a teacher in the Fitzgerald Public Schools district for more than 14 years, she describes herself as “always an educator” and still gives out stickers as a way to say thank you, express gratitude and recognize accomplishments.
“My staff had stickers made, ‘My Mayor is Proud of Me,’” Stone said.
“There are so many things that if you don’t stop and smell the roses, all you remember are the phone calls with the complaints or concerns,” she said. “You need to fortify yourself with celebrations to continue to move you forward.”
Stone’s open-door policy may be different from previous administrations. According to the mayor, she and her team try to meet with those when questions or concerns arise; however, she has empowered her team to identify the resources in the community to solve residents’ problems. If the issue needs to be elevated to her, she is there to “make sure everything gets past the finish line,” Stone said.
“In the past, people have been very dependent on (picking) up the phone and (saying), I need to talk to the mayor right now,” Stone said.
According to Stone, she would love to meet with everyone who wants to meet but there are not enough hours in the day.
“My responsibilities are bigger than that, and so I have teams that are creating public spaces where I get to meet with anyone who comes to participate,” she said.
Selecting a police commissioner
As part of those public spaces, in late June, Stone had four police commissioner
forums for residents to weigh in on what they would like in the new commissioner. These were held at various locations around the city: The Burnette Branch Library, Macomb Community College, the Warren Community Center and a virtual forum that anyone could access from their computer or phone.
The impetus of the forums was to connect those with ideas with the decisionmakers and provide information about what cultural shifts are needed in leadership for improvement.
“People were very forthcoming with their opinions on situations as they arose, especially around public safety and public service. I hear a lot of ideas shared at a park bench or on social media,” Stone said. “If ideas aren’t making it to the decision-makers, then they are lost in the ether.”
The mayor’s paradigm is not everyone’s paradigm.
“I am aware that I have a lived experience, but I am also aware that I have blind spots when it comes to lived experiences that are different from mine,” Stone said. “And so, it’s key for me to listen and hear other things that I haven’t taken into consideration yet and need to be added to that consideration.”
Stone is looking for a police commissioner who is skilled at the job and also skilled as a leader of people because of the size and scope of Warren.
“Warren has some very unique characteristics: third-largest city in the state, so not everyone has the background and experience to manage a department of our size, to manage a community that is approaching 140,000 residents,” Stone said. “In addition to the resident population of the city, Warren has thousands of people who come into the city during the business day at the GM Tech Center and TACOM alone. Warren is diverse in socioeconomics, as well as racial and cultural diversity. Not every community gives its law enforcement leadership this kind of experience.”
TACOM is the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command at the U.S. Army’s Detroit Arsenal.
The hunt to hire police officers
According to the mayor, before she took office, there were 17 police officer vacancies. In early April, according to former Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer, there were 22 officer vacancies.
“This is a struggle across the state and across the country. Especially public service jobs have ebbs and flow,” Stone said.
The new administration decided to have the city’s Human Resources Department resume hiring officers, as opposed to
The mayor’s appointments
After nearly seven months in office, some Warren residents have questioned whether the appointment process should have been completed already.
“Oh, no. This is a big process and even appointments to commissions are ongoing and continuous,” Stone said. “They are constantly being considered and being filled and reappointed.
“Our city deserves the best,” Stone said. “I’m not here to hand out political favors. I’m not here to appoint friends and family. I’m not here because I’m beholden to special interests. I am here because I am committed to my community and making it the best and realizing its potential.”
The mayor’s process is to listen, learn and lead.
the Warren Police Department, which did it for many years.
The mayor is looking at the Warren Fire Department’s cadet program and taking cues from it as to how to grow the Police Department from within. The cadets are trained by the Fire Department then after graduation fill the department’s unfilled positions.
“We are on our third recruitment (cycle) to fill any vacancies we do have,” said Acting Human Resources Director Jackie Damron when asked about the number of police officer vacancies. Damron did not give a number of vacant officer positions.
According to Damron, the recruitment cycles were in March, May and June and will continue. The five new officers starting July 8 are from the March recruitment cycle. She also noted recruitment efforts will continue to establish a list of eligible applicants.
“When I was reaching out to residents and asking them to hire me as mayor, I wasn’t conducting interviews, and I wasn’t making promises,” Stone said. “What I said was, when I come in, I’m going to listen, I’m going to learn and I’m going to lead based on the needs of our community. That continues to be the pace.”
Having listened, learned and developed a lesson plan to lead, the “always an educator” mayor was asked what grade she would give herself in the first six months in office.
Stone said, “I am achieving things every day that I set out to accomplish and so I feel successful.”
Although she would not give a letter grade, she continued.
“I challenge you to go out and talk to people in the community and ask them to offer up where I’m at and or points for improvement,” Stone said.
Visit our Facebook page at facebook. com/warrenweekly and give the mayor a letter grade (A-F) and comment about potential points for improvement.

Scams
from page 9A
the Social Security Administration, Medicare or your bank. These “scammers” will tell their victims that they need to send money right away to fix a problem with their banking or medical insurance, thus making off with the person’s finances.
Pretending to be a technical support person at a well-known company is another way swindlers prey on vulnerable people. Sometimes, unsuspecting people, too, will be conned when they think they have “won” or “inherited” money. Even family members can be deceitful and take advantage of learning a family member’s personal information.
Anyone should also be careful on dating websites as scammers can use a fake ID to build what feels like a real relationship. If someone you are dating online asks for a substantial amount of money for an emergency or a medical issue, that is a red flag.
Lucido said there are many elder abuse and fraud cases “going on right now” in the county.
Lucido also passed out a packet about rip-off artists. For instance, scammers are using artificial intelligence to mimic the voice of a loved one who claims to be in a distress-
ing situation, tricking their victims into sending money or personal information.
“Don’t act without thinking,” the packet states. “Never wire transfer, send money or buy gifts in response to a phone call.”
People are also advised to remove audio recordings of yourself and loved ones from social media sites to prevent scammers from manipulating voices. It’s also important to review all your accounts once a month, and make sure to review all your policies and documents at least once per year.
Shelby Township resident Shelly DeFour was among the small group of attendees at the South Campus presentation. She said she is glad she learned about the chance to “opt out” when filling out applications.
“That was a very good informative piece of information,” she said, adding she
thought the entire workshop “was really good.”
Macomb County Commissioner Don VanSyckel, R-District 5, attended the presentation.
“I want to support the prosecutor’s efforts to distribute the information,” VanSyckel said. “It’s very important our seniors
to be educated.”
VanSyckel said the “Stopping Crimes Against Macomb Seniors” material is available at the Sterling Heights Library, 40255 Dodge Park Road, and the Sterling Heights Senior Center, 40200 Utica Road.

C & G NEWSPAPERS KEEPS IT IN THE FAMILY
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
For anyone curious about what the “C” and “G” in C & G Newspapers stands for, here is the answer.
The “C” represents Charlotte, and the “G” is for Gil.
It was Charlotte and Gil Demers who more than 45 years ago created the family-owned business C & G Newspapers, which is still standing today.
In the early days, the husband-and-wife team ran the company from their home in St. Clair Shores with two papers: the Shores Shopper, a monthly advertiser first published in December 1977, and the Warren Weekly, with its inaugural issue Aug. 20, 1980.
Gil Demers definitely found his calling selling advertisements to local businesses, which included restaurants, mom-and-pop shops, car dealerships, medical offices, educational institutions and much more.
“He was a very personable guy,” daughter Karen Bozimowski said. “He knew everybody. He talked to everybody. He could talk to anybody.”
Gil wanted his family to be part of the business. Eventually the Demers’ five children — Bozimowski, Jeff Demers, Gregg Demers, Keith Demers and Suzanne Badalamenti — came to work for the family business. They all started “on the road” selling advertising to neighborhood retailers, securing their own accounts with local establishments that trusted them. By watching their parents, the kids learned the value of hard work, the importance of helping their customers, and the ropes of running a successful family-owned business. Gil Demers died in 2019, and Charlotte retired several years ago.

The Demers Family, from left to right, includes Karen Bozimowski, Suzanne Badalamenti, Gregg Demers, Keith Demers and Jeff Demers.
C & G Newspapers serves metro Detroit residents in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties with 19 biweekly publications that reach 45 communities and are delivered to more than 571,000 homes via direct mail. The papers’ source of revenue is advertising. Instead of selling subscriptions, Gil Demers set up the company so each newspaper was distributed by direct mail straight to people’s homes.
“He was very entrepreneurial as far as ideas,” Keith Demers said.
Gil Demers was a natural. The directmail system proved successful right away, not only for him but for his advertisers.
“He knew they were reading it because the advertisers got great response because we went to every home,” Jeff Demers said. “We mailed it to every home. There wasn’t anything like that in St. Clair Shores.”
“That was the difference. No one else did that,” Gregg Demers said. “The thought was that a small business only could draw from so far. Let’s go to every home right around your store, and that will get them the best response.”
Many advertisers have stayed with the company over the years, Mr. C’s Deli in St.
Clair Shores was their first advertiser. An advertisement for Temrowski & Sons Funeral Home, located at Hoover and Common roads, was in the first-ever Warren Weekly back in 1980.
“He still advertises today, every issue,” Suzanne Badalamenti said.
Gregg Demers, though, felt the publications needed more and came up with the idea to add editorial content with news stories that covered local city government, education, crime, human interest stories, sports and features about upcoming events happening in the readerships’ own backyards.
A family affair
After the success of the Warren Weekly, the company expanded to add more newspapers, the next one being the Madison-Park News, which covers Madison Heights and Hazel Park. At one point, the Demers family was able to open up an office located on Nine Mile Road, east of Van Dyke Avenue, in Warren.
Then the family members began adding more newspapers in Macomb County, including the Eastsider, the Fraser-Clinton Chronicle, the St. Clair Shores Sentinel, the Sterling Heights Sentry, the Journal, the Macomb Township Chronicle and the ShelbyUtica News
Over in Oakland County, the Demers
publish the following papers: the Troy Times, the Royal Oak Review, the Rochester Post, the West Bloomfield Beacon, the Southfield Sun, the Birmingham-Bloomfield Eagle, the Farmington Press, the Novi Note and the Woodward Talk
The company also has a long-standing Wayne County paper: the Grosse Pointe Times. As the company grew, more space was needed, and in 1997 C & G Newspapers moved to 13650 11 Mile Road in Warren.
Currently there are 65 employees in the company who work in different departments to produce each newspaper. The team consists of salespeople, journalists, editors, graphic designers, photographers and an administrative staff. The newspapers are built right at the C & G office and then are sent to an outside company for printing.
With readers patronizing the advertisers, they are supporting family businesses, and that keeps them going. There has always been competition and different challenges. To keep the business thriving, each family member has different responsibilities. They also take time to talk to each other and share ideas.
“Each one of us has our own area of responsibility,” Jeff Demers said. “Then we meet regularly. We talk about ‘what’s going on in each area.”
The Demers said the best aspect of run-
ning the family business is working together.
“We have a common goal,” Jeff Demers said. “To be successful.”
They also appreciate the dedication of their staff members.
“The employees are just great,” Gregg Demers said.
“That’s the bottom line,” Keith Demers said.
While many newspaper entities have ceased to exist because of the internet and digital media, C & G Newspapers still continues publishing print editions.
“That comes down to the mail,” Keith Demers said. “We don’t rely on subscriptions.”
“And it’s local stories,” Suzanne Badalamenti said.
“We still believe in our product as a direct-mail community newspaper going to every home,” Gregg Demers said.
C & G Newspapers also evolved electronically with its website, www.candgnews. com, and a social media presence on Facebook and X. The company also has contests every month where readers can win gift cards and other prizes from local advertisers. The family is always looking for new opportunities and has plans for the business to expand.
“As far as the future, we’d like to open a new paper,” Suzanne Badalamenti said.

‘The Demers were always kind and fair people to me’
The brothers and sisters get along well with each other while working together. They also want to give their employees that same sense of family so staff members feel welcome coming to work each day.
Not only that, but they know the importance of providing their workforce with the supplies they need to get their jobs done, including everything from office equipment to moral support to the occasional social event.
A majority of staff has remained with the company 10, 20 or 30 years.
“What has always mattered to me the most about C & G is that they are unbiased. … We don’t have an agenda of any kind. We just want to be as factual and fair as possible,” said editor Annie Bates, who began wit h the company 25 years ago. “In our little corner, the Demers want us to do it right. In the beginning of my career, everyone asked me what my next step was. It was assumed you wanted a bigger outlet,” but that wasn’t
what appealed to Bates. “C & G … remembers the goal a lot of media outlets seemed to have forgotten, which is to listen and be as fair as you can.”
Graphic designer Kathy Calvisi is a loyal employee who found her niche when she was hired in 1990. Working in the company’s art room designing ads gives her the chance to be creative every day.
“It’s held my interest,” Calvisi said. “It’s something different every day.”
C & G Newspapers also has been a great place to work because the Demers always accommodated Calvisi when she needed to tend to her family, such as picking up her children from school when they were growing up.
“With a flexible schedule I have the ability to take care of my family,” Calvisi said. “They’re fun people and they treat us good.”
In 1986, sales representative David Rubello joined C & G Newspapers.
“I’ve had a great ride ever since. The Demers were always kind and fair people to me. That’s what gave me my drive to keep up my good work,” Rubello said. “I’ve been here for almost 40 years. If they weren’t good to me there’s no way I could have stayed that long.”
Rubello primarily sells advertising for the St. Clair Shores Sentinel, but also has accounts in surrounding areas. He likes the idea of working for a family-run business.
“You’re not just a number. They get to know you,” he said. “It’s not like you’re working for a really big business where there’s just a lot of faces and no names.”
He also credits the Demers for helping other family businesses stay afloat.
“They have impacted this community in so many positive ways, from promoting people’s businesses with advertising to having stories about people and their great accomplishments,” Rubello said. “This would all go silent if there weren’t community papers like ours.”

CAR NEVER MISSES HUNTINGTON WOODS’ FOURTH
OF JULY PARADE
‘It’s my contribution to the community’
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
HUNTINGTON WOODS — Bob Weltman hasn’t missed the Huntington Woods Fourth of July parade since 1986.
He has driven his 1978 Volkswagen Beetle in the annual event for 38 years.
You can’t miss the tomato-red car. Bob decorates the Beetle with American flags and other trimmings of red, white and blue to celebrate the holiday. He is
always the caboose of the parade.
“I’m the last one,” said Bob, who resides in Huntington Woods with his wife, Robyn. “It’s fun. It’s my contribution to the community. I get a kick out of doing it.”
Bob said the parade lasts about an hour. It is always held right on July 4.
“The Fourth Of July parade is huge here. It’s a wild parade,” Bob said. “It’s an old-fashioned, 1950s parade. It’s a throwback to another era. Half of the

community is in it and half is watching. It’s so popular.”
The fun of participating in the Fourth of July procession started when a former City Council member asked if Bob could drive him in the convertible during the parade. Bob enjoyed the patriotic experience so much that he’s geared up ever since, becoming a piece of Huntington Woods history.
“There’s a little trick to it,” Bob said of driving in the parade. “You’re on your clutch a lot and your foot hurts because there are cars in front of you stopping.”
Over the years, Bob, daughter Karlie and sons Peter and Trevor have appeared in the parade, as has Trevor’s wife, Van. This year’s parade will start another tradition: there are plans for the Weltmans’ two granddaughters, Dolly, 8, and Lana, 6, to ride in the procession for the first time.
Not only do local residents know Bob from behind the steering wheel of his Volkswagen, but also through his career as an associate broker at Real Estate One and Max Broock in Royal Oak.
“When I go into people’s homes, there’s pictures of the parade — of Robyn and I — in the car on their wall,” Bob said.
Bob and Robyn, too, have met people when they take the car out for leisurely drives and when they head over to the Woodward Dream Cruise. Last year, for instance, Bob mingled with other Dream Cruise car enthusiasts on Old Woodward in Birmingham.
“This car brings up so much nostalgia for older people. They start crying. You just see it in their face and their eyes — especially our ages. You know, this was the ’60s car,” Bob said. “And younger kids love this car.”
“If we do drive around here, people ask him, ‘Are you going to be in the parade?’” Robyn said. “Some of the kids are now grown and have their own kids, and they remember
it. It’s just really being part of the community.”
Bob and Robyn married in 1981, and Bob purchased the Beetle in 1985. After he saw it for sale, he just had to have it. There, however, was one problem. Bob did not know how to drive a stick shift, but he quickly learned by watching Robyn, who could drive a stick.
Bob really wanted a Porsche but settled for the Beetle, as he and Robyn had already started a family and a sports car at the time wasn’t feasible. Bob said his model is considered a Super Beetle and it’s a Karmann Ghia design.
“This is definitely more rounded than the older Volkswagens,” Robyn said.
Bob is the second owner of the Volkswagen, which came with running boards. In addition, the engine is in the rear and the trunk is located at the front of the car. The car is mostly original with a few modifications. The first owner changed the radio. The Weltmans also updated the car’s hubcaps while keeping them in the family.
“My father-in-law had the same car, and he had hubcaps from it that were better than the ones I had that were already aging,” Bob said.
The Huntington Woods parade will begin at 10 a.m., July 4, and will be held rain or shine. According to the city’s website at ci.huntington-woods.mi.us, the parade route will begin at the corner of Salem Road and York Street. It will then proceed onto Salem, which turns into Nadine Avenue.
The route will then turn right at Wyoming Road, followed by a left onto Borgman Avenue. Then it turns left onto Scotia Road and travels until it ends at the corner of Nadine and Scotia at Burton Park, with a hot dog roast and speeches scheduled at 11 a.m. There are several other activities planned for the holiday in Huntington Woods, including fireworks at approximately 10:05 p.m. over Rackham Golf Course, 10100 W. 10 Mile Road.

they will need to be successful. Local businessman Sam Cupp, a Warren High School graduate, created Winning Futures in 1994. He died in 2021. This year, the organization celebrates its 30-year milestone.
Students enter the program in 10th grade, known as Year I, and receive training, guidance, and support through 11th and 12th grades, and four years of continuing education after high school, culminating with Year 7. The program has awarded more than $2.1 million in scholarships and financial support since 1994.
“As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, I reflect back on previous years and how our program and students have grown,” President and CEO Kristina Marshall said. “Our students never cease to amaze me. From our Year 1 students who are in 10th grade, all the way through to our Year 7 students who are completing their continuing education, our students are growing, thriving, and achieving their goals. We are very proud of them and celebrate their hard work and ongoing success.”
The evening also was a chance for Winning Futures representatives to acknowledge several local businesspeople for their 5- and 10-year anniversary of mentoring the students.
Prior to the awards ceremony, Winning Futures held Student Success Ceremonies for the Workforce Prep high school students promoted to the next year of the program. That included students from Warren Mott, Cass Tech, Harper Woods High School, Mumford High School, and Pontiac Academy for Excellence.

Many in attendance were looking forward to the city’s second Juneteenth celebration, according to Howard. Some remembered the music from the Smoke Jones Detroit Band, which brought a mix of soul and blues and the comradery of the people in attendance.
“It was cool to see residents from five different cities converge at the City Hall in Warren to celebrate freedom,” Howard said. “And that’s really what it’s about, bringing folks together so that we continue to progress and make, as the mayor said, ‘a more perfect union.’”

WHY ALL THE HOUSEHOLD DUST?
For years I’ve been improving our communities health one family at a time. By now we’ve all heard the statistics: 50% of all illness is a direct relation to dirty indoor air and that it’s 90 times more polluted than outdoor air. Yet, 90% of the calls that I receive everyday are from people complaining about dust, they tell me they dust the TV on Friday but by Sunday they are pushing the dust out of the way again so they can watch America’s Got Talent and none of them know exactly where it’s coming from. Well I’m here to tell you that it’s not because you’re a bad housekeeper. I tell people that by simply having their air ducts cleaned will drastically reduce household dust. The reason is your cold air returns. Cold air returns suck in dirty air and over time it builds up until you have the same type of debris that you would find in your vacuum bag. Cold air returns are also the reason new homeowners are experiencing dust. While your drywall was being sanded, your air returns sucked all of the dust through the system. To prove it, go down to your basement and look for the thin sheets of tin nailed between your floor joists, these are your cold air return lines. Now give them a good pounding, you’ll see pufs
of dust seeping from the edges. That my friends is the reason you have uncontrollable Dust issues. This debris can not be removed without a professional.
Which brings me to my next point- choosing an air duct cleaning company. We have the equipment that is powerful enough to get the job done right, a Power Vac truck. Its the most powerful equipment in the industry. The truck motor actually powers the equipment and its able to generate 16,000 cfms (cubic feet of air per minute) of vacuum. Most competitors opt for the cheaper, portable equipment attached inside of a van that’s only capable of moving 4,000 cfms. To put things into perspective your furnace moves 2,000 cfms. So basically what’s coming out of your register. The power vac trucks we invest in ofer quadruple the amount of vacuum than most other companies.
Power Vac is family owned and our crews are trained to arrive on time, work with a smile and respect people and their belongings. Call today at 248-656-0600 and receive $100 of for the next week.
Visit our website CALLPOWERVAC.COM where you can watch a short video on the cleaning process and what to watch out for while price shopping.
April and Keith Meadows help keep indoor air clean with their local business, Power Vac.
