On Aug. 8, St. Clair Shores voters approved the South Lake Schools bond proposal by a margin of 58.3% to 41.7%.

Unofficial results presented by Macomb County elections officials showed 1,534 people voted to approve the bond, while 1,095 voted against it.

According to the district, the $49,750,000 proposal will be used to improve school facilities, including adding an See ELECTION on page 35A

Chapaton Retention Basin projects aim to improve water quality In a press conference on Aug. 9, Macomb County Public Works Commissioner Candice Miller unveiled the two-season construction plan for the Chapaton Reten-

The plan shut down the Nine Mile boat launch and other amenities surrounding the basin at the beginning of the month.

Also in attendance were St. Clair Shores Mayor Kip Walby, state Sen. Kevin Hertel

and Macomb County Board of Commissioners Chairman Don Brown.

According to Miller, the drain was built in 1968 and Vice President Hubert Humphrey cut the ribbon for it.

Shore Lanes owner writes book about bowling

BY ALYSSA OCHSS

aochss@candgnews.com

Inspired by the customers he sees at Shore Lanes, Justin Roth, owner of Shore Lanes, wrote a book about bowling called “The Good Bowler.”

Ultimately, a customer inspired the idea of the main character and Roth had no problem coming up with other characters. He said he sees so many different personalities at his job at the bowling alley.

“A lot of it can be really tough to deal with,” Roth said. “You get a lot of people who complain, a lot of whiners, a lot of people who make excuses. Then you get a lot of good bowlers, too, and I just thought the difference between all of them was pretty funny.”

He added another part of the inspiration came from his master’s degree in clinical counseling.

“I’m able to utilize some of my counseling skills in working with my customers also,” Roth said.

Roth described the book as a children’s book written for adults. The morals of the story tell people not to whine or complain but to just bowl and enjoy your time.

“My hope is that my bowlers will read the book and get a laugh out of it,” Roth said.

“See how silly they’re being.”

The main character of the book is George, a boy who loves to bowl.

The illustrations were completed by Ann Marie Sayers, who Roth said is an aspiring artist and the daughter of the snack bar manager at Shore Lanes.

“It kind of just worked out and was a real bowling production,” Roth said.

The book took around four months to finish once Roth put his mind to it, and he said being a self-publisher, it was quite difficult to get everything together.

“Just figuring out how to format everything and making sure you spell everything properly,” Roth said.

He said aspiring authors should definitely give publishing a try and advised them to ask for help when in a bind.

“It’s not easy, but if you really want to try it, go for it,” Roth said.

The book can be purchased through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and BookBaby, where Roth said it was produced.

MACOMB COUNTY — As summer workouts come to a close, southern Macomb County readies for another exciting football season. Here are previews for all teams in the C & G Newspapers coverage area.

St. Clair Shores Lakeview

HARRISON TOWNSHIP — One of America’s first military planes returned to Selfridge as the on-base Selfridge Military Air Museum took delivery of a rare Curtiss JN-4 Jenny biplane on Aug. 11.

“The Jenny was very instrumental in all aspects of early aviation in the United States,” said Ed Kaminski, deputy director of the Selfridge museum.

One of the earliest mass-produced aircraft, the Curtiss JN was primarily used as a military trainer aircraft during World War I. Pilots from the United States and Canada got their first flight experiences behind the stick of a JN before receiving more advanced fighter or bomber training on British and French planes in Europe, while the first military aircraft mechanics learned how to fix Sopwith Camels and SPADs by wrenching on JN planes in the United States.

Selfridge was established in 1917 and a Curtiss JN airplane delivered by truck was the first flight from the base in July that year.

“The Jenny stayed around at Selfridge as a liaison aircraft who flied to different bas-

Last season’s record: 7-4.

League: Macomb Area Conference White Division.

First game: vs. Warren Woods Tower High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Lakeview’s five straight playoff appearances are already historic for the football program, but now Lakeview is looking to take the next step when they reach the playoffs.

It’ll be a difficult task this season after Lakeview graduated a large amount of its offense — 31 of the team’s 33 touchdowns last season to be exact — but coach Pat Threet said the team’s culture speaks for itself with the new players stepping up.

Records from the city of St. Clair Shores list the Blue Goose Inn building as having been built in 1925. The 28911 Jefferson Avenue address is listed in the 1938 Liquor Control Commission record and city records as “The Oasis Café.” The Café was sold by Clarence W. Shearer and renamed as the Blue Goose Inn. The city described it as a “Beer Garden.”

The photo seen here is from the 1940s. It was part of a real estate advertisement, listing the building for sale. The information from the listing said the building was built about 1900. It was described as a tavern “in continuous operation for upwards of forty years” with a second floor living space of five rooms.

The Blue Goose Inn was owned by Robert and Gloria Chambers from about 1985 to 2021. In 2021, it was sold and closed for renovations.

Mental health calls rise in response to new phone number

BY ALYSSA OCHSS

aochss@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Since it went live last year in July, the 988 phone number has led to an increased number of mental health calls.

Anne Perry, the Michigan director for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, said the 988 lifeline has seen an increase in calls and there have been longer wait times to gain access to mental health professionals in general. However, these are good things because it means people are reaching out more in times of crisis.

“Those increased calls to the lifeline that we’ve seen, that’s because it’s more accessible and more socially acceptable to reach out,” Perry said. “So calls to the lifeline don’t necessarily translate into suicide.”

Locally, according to the St. Clair Shores Police Department, there have been four suicides, eight attempted suicides and 123 mental health calls in their area in 2023.

Lt. James Brueckman, of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, said in a text that the department refers all mental health calls to Macomb County Community Mental Health for follow up. Since Aug. 2022, the agency answered 2,561 suicide and crisis lifeline calls. Of those calls, 487 were suicidal callers. Calls made to the number can be for any reason related to mental health.

According to a document provided by the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services, from July 2022 to June 2023,

there were more than 69,000 calls made to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in the entire state of Michigan.

Perry said it’s a little too early to have preliminary overall suicide numbers for 2023.

“We have seen a decrease in certain populations, mainly minority population(s) and then a slight increase overall,” Perry said.

“But it’s kind of hard to tell what we’re going to see in a world post COVID.” Agnes Ward, chief clinical officer for Macomb County Community Mental Health, recognizes a mental health crisis can be a scary time for the family but wants them to remember to treat those going through it with compassion.

“I think part of it is really knowing that feeling that way is not a choice somebody actively makes,” Ward said. “They got here to this place, they may have been in deep despair for quite some time.”

When looking for signs of a potentially suicidal individual, Perry said they break it down into talk, behavior and mood. Talk is saying suicidal thoughts or feelings of desperation out loud. Behavior could mean individuals withdrawing from things they loved or losing interest in things they would normally like to do. Mood can be extreme irritability, anger or rage, Perry said.

“Our rule of thumb is, if you are thinking that something is wrong and you need to have a conversation with someone about yourself or someone else, and that’s a sure See LIFELINE on page 33A

WARREN — Several days before the Macomb Community College 2023 fall semester began, officials unveiled the new Skilled Trades and Advanced Technology Center on the college’s South Campus.

On Aug. 11, about 200 people gathered for the grand opening of the $45 million, 130,000-square-foot facility, located in the former R, S and T buildings. The center will offer programs designed to prepare students for high-demand careers in advanced manufacturing, technology and the skilled trades. The new center optimizes the environmental infrastructure for teaching and learning that embodies the current impact of Industry 4.0, or smart manufacturing processes that make up the fourth industrial revolution.

“While there is an already acute demand for highly skilled employees in manufacturing, technology and the skilled trades, job openings in these sectors are expected to continue to increase,” a college press release stated. “In Macomb County over the next five years, anticipated growth spans a minimum of 1% for automated systems and robotics to 14% for 3-D modeling and design technology, with median annual earnings ranging from the mid $40,000 to low $80,000.”

A number of programs will be housed in the building including apprenticeships, computerized numerical control machining, drafting, computer-aided design, electronics and fluid power technology. Land surveying, media and communication arts, mechatronics, product development, robotics and welding also will be available.

The classrooms and lab spaces inside the new center are located near each other to mimic modern industry. The classrooms were built to encourage gathering and engagement among the students. The building also reflects current industrial settings where poorly lit, closed-in areas have been replaced by bright spaces with windows and natural light.

Nearly $15 million of the total project cost was a capital outlay appropriation from the state of Michigan, with the remaining approximately $30 million covered by the college’s capital projects fund. According to MCC President James Sawyer, the new Skilled Trades and Advanced Technology Center is the college’s largest renovation project to date.

“Today we’re taking a huge step forward supporting programs in advanced manufacturing, technology and the skilled trades,” Sawyer said. “The quality of our graduates and our commitment to the ongoing collaboration with industry keeps our programs in step with

the evolution of how business and industry works.

“With the renovation, we’re creating a teaching and learning environment optimized for preparing our students for successful and smooth transition to high demand manufacturing, technology and skilled trades jobs,” Sawyer said. “We’re excited about the possibilities of correcting negative old school, outdated notions about what manufacturing and industrial workplaces look like. We’re looking forward to leveraging Macomb’s Skilled Trades and Advanced Technology Center to introduce middle and high school and their parents to a modern industry environment and the wealth of opportunities in these great careers.”

Sawyer said the credentials skilled trades students will earn are a “gateway to higher level degrees and jobs.” That includes moving from a certificate to an associate degree at Macomb, or continuing to earn a bachelor’s degree through one of Macomb’s university partners.

Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II also addressed the crowd.

“It really is exciting to be here back on the campus of Macomb Community College. I do think Macomb has a particular identity that this project really illustrates,” Gilchrist said.

“The state of Michigan is proud to be a partner in bringing something like this to fruition. The reason we are so invested is because we recognize that everyone who comes through this expanded and stronger and more vibrant facility, they’ll learn something about themselves.

“You come to learn a trade, you come to learn a particular set of techniques or a particular set of skills to get specific certifications that are very important to you and the community,” Gilchrist said. “What you will learn is that if you can imagine something and you can create something, that you can create anything.

The students that walk through these halls, who use these machines, who learn from these very talented, skilled and experienced instructors, these are the kind of people who inspire the creative minds of Macomb and Michigan.

“When we invest in that, we are not only investing in the present vitality of this institution, but the future vitality of our economy,” Gilchrist said. “This was designed for Industry 4.0. I know this is the team that can make that happen.”

Congressman John James, R-Shelby Township, presented a certificate to Sawyer to recognize the completion of the renovated facility.

“I want to congratulate the college on their grand opening of the tech center. It’s wonderful to be here taking a big step toward building the workforce of the future,” James said.

Now that summer is winding down and autumn biking season is right around the corner, Tim’s Bike Shop is introducing a new line of e-bikes (i.e., bicycles with pedals and an electric motor) and offering sales on existing inventory for cycling enthusiasts and casual riders alike.

“E-bikes are becoming popular around here,” said owner Tim Focht. “What’s impressive about e-bikes is that they provide a little power assist, so you can go a little farther distance than you can achieve by pedaling alone.”

Although there are numerous brands offering a variety of e-bike options, Tim decided to carry Denago e-bikes after one of his suppliers brought several models into the shop for him to evaluate.

“We test rode Denago e-bikes and with their stability, speed and distance capabilities — plus the quality of the build — my overall impression was that these are really nice bikes,” he explained.

Four e-bikes are currently in stock; however, Tim said he can order any specific model a customer desires and get it in pretty quickly.

The shop also carries skatepark-style

boards, electric scooters, rugged mountain bikes, and tricycles for both adults and kids.

Brands include the Schwinn Signature Series, DK, GT, BMX Verde and KHS, which caters to different age groups with mountain bikes designed for younger riders and comfort and hybrid bikes tailored for older customers.

Expert fittings, maintenance and repair services are available for all brands.

“There is still plenty of riding time left, and August is an ideal month to get your bikes reconditioned or tuned up for the fall season, which is one of the nicest times to ride,” Tim added. “Come and check out our cycling gear and accessories too.”

Tim’s Bike Shop was recently voted Best of the Best Bike Shops in Macomb County.

“In October, we are entering our 23rd year of business and we truly appreciate all of our customers’ support over the years,” Tim said.

“We’ve got a recipe for success and it’s not about the offense or defense we run,” Threet said. “My belief is faith, family and football. We talk to our coaches about leading these guys the way you’d lead your own son. Make them accountable, be tough on them, but show them love. That’s really what we’re about, and I think that’s really helped us have a great culture.”

On the offensive end, junior Bobby Clark II (OL), senior Malik Mason (OL) and sophomore John Kline (OL) lead the offensive line while senior Gary Winston (RB/ MLB), junior Aidan Daniels (RB/TE) and junior Eric Simmons lead the running back corps.

Defensively, Lakeview is expected to be strong once again after earning four shutout wins in 2022 and allowing just over 19 points per game.

Senior David Osagiede (DE), senior Tucker Weddle (LB), senior Keonte Woolf (DB), senior Corion Lattimore (DB) and junior Terrell McCurdy lead the Huskies’ defensive unit.

St. Clair Shores Lake Shore

Last season’s record: 4-5.

League: Macomb Area Conference Gold Division.

First game: at Sault Ste. Marie, 7 p.m. Aug. 25.

Building off a near winning season in 2022, Lake Shore is looking to rely on its returning players to lead the way this season.

Junior quarterback Jordan Alston will command the huddle this season with junior Ja’Sean Dean (WR) and junior James Taylor Jr. (TE) leading the pass-catching group.

Alston, who started last year as a sophomore, is looking to progress after an efficient year last season.

“He’s a pure pocket passer,” Lake Shore coach Marcus Cribbs said. “Last year, he had some growing pains, but he’s been coming along really well.”

Returning all-region defensive lineman James Brown (Sr.) and senior defensive lineman Keith Reeves are expected to anchor the defense.

St. Clair Shores South Lake

Last season’s record: 6-4.

League: Macomb Area Conference Silver Division.

First game: vs. Macomb Lutheran North, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Having extended its playoff appearance streak to three, South Lake appears to be in a groove on the offensive side of the ball, and the team is hoping that the defense follows suit in 2023.

In 2022, South Lake averaged just over

People chow down on watermelon as they participate in Aqua Fest’s 24th Annual Watermelon Eating Contest.

24th Annual Watermelon Eating Contest held at Aqua Fest

ST. CLAIR SHORES — Despite the rain, Aqua Fest’s 24th Annual Watermelon Eating Contest had a good turnout with 37 people.

Participants were separated into three groups based on age. The goal was to finish one to two pieces of watermelon before anyone else and the first three finishers won cash prizes. However, the competitors weren’t allowed to use their hands to steady the watermelon or bring it to their face.

With some of the older competitors bending down or kneeling on the ground, they started eating after a short countdown. In the end, the three winning competitors received their reward and others were allowed to snack on the leftover watermelon.

Local nonprofit awarded grant

Christian Financial Credit Union’s Outreach & Impact Foundation presented a $3,000 grant to Champ Life of St. Clair Shores. From left to right, Ashley Geddes from Christian Financial, Tommy Sheerer from Champ Life, Christine Quitter and Barb Trbovich from Christian Financial.

METRO DETROIT — According to a press release, the Christian Financial Credit Union Outreach & Impact Foundation has awarded Champ Life a $3,000 grant.

This grant comes part of the foundation’s biggest award to four local nonprofits. The nonprofits awarded the grants are Champ Life ($3,000), The Daisy Project ($2,500), Single Family Living ($1,000) and Money Matters for Youth ($1,000).

Champ Life, based in St. Clair Shores, hosts a residential camp for area foster children “to help build self-esteem and a sense of pride and accomplishment,” the press release said. They offer activities for children such as horseback riding, kayaking, swimming and more.

“Our annual kid’s camp helps children who have experienced tremendous abandonment and loss begin to feel a sense of value and worth,” said Tommy Sheerer, pastor/director at Champ Life. “So many children will experience hope and healing because of the Christian Financial Outreach & Impact Foundation’s generosity.”

METRO DETROIT — The American Red Cross Michigan Region, based in Detroit, has deployed a team of volunteers to assist with the disaster relief and response efforts on the island of Maui in Hawaii.

At press time, seven Red Cross Michigan Region volunteers were among those helping with the disaster relief operation. The number of deployments could increase as Red Cross mobilization efforts continue in Hawaii.

“Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by what are some of the deadliest wildfires in recent history,” Mary Lynn Foster, the chief executive officer for the Michigan Region of the American Red Cross, said in a prepared statement. “With officials and partners, Red Cross teams are providing evacuees with a safe place to stay, food to eat and emotional support during this challenging time. Our volunteers are once again stepping up to meet the needs of the people impacted by these devastating wildfires.”

Red Cross representatives have established the following ways to help people affected by the Hawaii wildfires: text the word HAWAII to 90999 to make a $10 donation, call (800) 733-2767 or visit redcross.org.

The Cavaliers will have an early test this season when they match up against Lutheran North in the opener. Lutheran North took South Lake to the wire last season in a 46-40 thriller that South Lake won.

Last season’s record: 0-9.

League: Macomb Area Conference Gold Division.

First game: at Dearborn Heights Crestwood, 7 p.m. Aug 25.

There’s only room for improvement for the Shamrocks, and they’re looking to show a lot of it this season behind an array of offensive weapons.

Senior quarterback Donavan Phillips will command the offense this season with an abundance of wide receiver help in senior Rickey Crudup, senior Tyler Wiley Jones, junior Jajuan Stewart and sophomore Terron Bush.

Only his first year on varsity, Eastpointe coach Donavon Hall said Phillips is poised

First game: vs. Melvindale High, 7 p.m.

Aug. 24.

Taking a major step in the right direction, Center Line football is playing with confidence as it heads into the 2023 season.

The Panthers will hand the offensive keys to four-year varsity quarterback Ian Klekotka this season as the offensive unit looks to continue its success from last year.

Center Line coach Ajani Ali said Klekotka’s knowledge of the game has him poised for a successful season.

“He knows how to facilitate the offense — he knows where to put the ball at and just how to operate everything,” Ali said.

Junior wide receiver Elijah Williford

will be Klekotka’s No. 1 target this season while sophomore linebacker Avery Taylor and junior defensive lineman David Smith will lead the defensive unit.

Grosse Pointe North

Last season’s record: 8-2.

League: Macomb Area Conference Gold Division.

First game: at Clinton Township Clintondale High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Similar to the six-year stretch of winning seasons from 2012 to 2017, North appears to be building a foundation for sustainable success, but it’ll be up to the senior class to continue in that direction.

“They know that the bulk of the season rides on their back, and they know that they have to bring the younger guys up to speed,” North coach Joe Drouin said. “We got some really good seniors that are more nurturing with their leadership. They know that the younger guys are their legacy.”

Senior quarterback Ryan Henderson will command the offensive unit with an abundance of weapons in junior wide receivers Leo Perettie and Sebastian Rouse but will also see contributions from junior Daylon Doe (WR), senior Rocco Cardinale (WR) and senior Nick Saigh (WR).

The Shorewood Kiwanis Harper Charity Cruise is right around the corner, and business owners are excited for its arrival.

Joe Tabbi, general manager of Bagnasco & Calcaterra Funeral Home, said they’re excited every year for the cruise. They will have a tent set up outside the business, serving hot dogs, hamburgers and beverages.

“It’s just nice having all the people around and being able to see a lot of people,” Tabbi said.

Their business will have the Shorewood Kiwanis T-shirts for sale as well. They will also have musical entertainment.

This year, the cruise will extend to 12 Mile Road, giving more businesses in the city an opportunity to see and welcome cruise-watching neighbors.

METRO DETROIT — If you’ve ever ventured over to Eddie’s Drive-In, you may have spotted Bill Shuster and his 1969 Chevrolet Corvair Monza.

On occasion, the Grosse Pointe Park resident takes the vintage vehicle to the popular Harrison Township eatery, where diners are served by carhops on roller skates.

Cortez silver in color, the Corvair is always a conversation piece. Sometimes Shuster comes across people whose parents or relatives once owned a Corvair. Other times, he’ll meet someone unfamiliar with the car, but intrigued.

The convertible has been in the family since 1970. The evening his father, Stuart Shuster, brought it home for the first time is forever etched in Shuster’s memory. It was Stuart Shuster’s 31st birthday, and Shuster remembers his dad coming home from work later than usual on that snowy, January evening.

“My father was a designer at General Motors,” Shuster said. “His studio developed the Firebird insignias. He was a really good designer, really talented.”

As Shuster waited for his dad, he heard a “sort of sputtering rumble” echoing through the Birmingham neighbor-

Bill Shuster, of Grosse Pointe Park, remembers when his dad, Stuart Shuster, brought home the 1969 Chevrolet Corvair Monza. hood where the family resided. Looking outside, Shuster saw tail lights in the winter air. He didn’t think much of it until the Corvair pulled into the driveway.

Once his dad was inside the house, the reveal of the new family car came as a surprise. While looking at it, Shuster felt the Corvair had “an aura.” It was his dad’s prized possession.

“Nobody drove this car except my father,” Shuster said.

Although the car was in great shape, Stuart Shuster insisted on tinkering with it over the next few months with his oldest son helping him at the age of 5. Shuster also has a younger sister and brother.

“I was out in the garage every weekend,” he said. “A lot of that was holding the flashlight.”

The Shusters owned other cars over the years, but the Corvair always stood out.

“Everyone knew this car,” Shuster said. “My dad drove it daily and he would take it to car shows.”

As a passenger in the Corvair, watching drag races was a childhood pastime.

“When I was very young, there were a lot of drive-in restaurants along Woodward (Avenue) we would go to,” Shuster said. “That’s where all the hot rods met to set up races. You’d see Super Bees, Jaguars and Corvettes.”

Mustangs, Challengers and Firebirds also were a part of the action. Shuster described the atmosphere as “an incredible sensation of noise and color and, of course, the music at the time — the MC5, all the Detroit bands.”

Stuart Shuster purchased the convertible from Ed Rinke Chevrolet in Center Line. Shuster still has the paperwork. One distinguishing feature is the engine is located in the back while the trunk is in the front. Other traits are noticeable.

Is your memory problem a sign of Hearing Loss?

Those who have difficulty hearing can experience distorted and incomplete communication that seriously impacts their lives, putting an individual at risk for isolation and withdrawal.

Our offices now offer cognitive screenings that can measure your current cognitive performance. This special testing is not an IQ test or a list of questions, rather, a simple automated assessment that along with a FREE hearing screening will help determine if your memory loss is related to a hearing loss.

The Shores Hearing Center builds relationships with patients while improving their hearing For the past 25 years, Audioprosthologist Bryan Owens has helped people get back their hearing.

Seven of those years have been spent as owner of the Shores Hearing Center, located at 25915 Harper Ave., Suite D. The Shores Hearing Center provides hearing testing, hearing aid fitting, hearing protection and hearing aid repair.

Owens and office manager Karen Demchyna work with patients to determine the right hearing aids for them. Not only are patients fitted with their new hearing aids, but they come back periodically to have their hearing aids maintained.

“Aftercare is extremely important for the longevity of hearing aids. Ninety percent of what I do is service on hearing aids. I clean them, dry them out and run diagnostics on them,” Owens said. “Every four months my patients bring in their hearing aids and get them cleaned and

checked. Every year, I do a hearing test to make sure their hearing is staying stable. All of my hearing aids are rechargeable.”

It takes approximately 15 minutes for Owens to check and clean the hearing aids. He can also diagnose a problem, and 90% of the time he fixes it right in the office.

The Shores Hearing Center primarily uses Oticon hearing aids. The hearing aids come in different shapes and sizes and are fit for comfort.

Age is the biggest reason for hearing loss.

Other factors include excessive noise and heredity. Hearing loss usually happens slowly over a long period of time. Every time a new patient visits Shores Hearing Center, Owens conducts a cognitive screening.

“In 2015, Johns Hopkins University did a study between hearing loss and cognitive decline,” Owens said. “I do a cognitive screening to see if there is a correlation between hearing loss and cognitive decline.”

When a patient returns for the first four-month

checkup after the initial visit, Owens performs another cognitive test. More than half of his patients have a 20% increase in their scores.

Owens makes sure to have a personal connection with each client, most of whom are senior citizens.

“I get a lot of doctor referrals in the area,” the business owner said. “I really enjoy hearing stories from my patients. I really have a soft spot for seniors. I always have.”

One of Owens’ past patrons claimed her place in American history, sparking the civil rights movement.

“I fit Rosa Parks with hearing aids a long time ago when I ran the office for Beltone in Detroit,” the business owner said. “She came walking in, and it was my turn to take the next patient.”

Parks became a regular patient.

“She told me what she was famous for. She told me stories of the past,” he said. “She was always wearing purple when she came in. She was a very sweet lady.”

Hearing & Cognitive Screenings are FREE Owens has strong ties to St. Clair Shores. The 1995 Lakeview High School graduate grew up in the city and is running for St. Clair Shores City Council in the Nov. 7 general election.

“I love working and owning a business in the community I grew up in,” he said.

Owens is involved with many organizations, including the Macomb County Elder Abuse Task Force, and serves as co-chair for the St. Clair Shores Senior Advisory Committee.

The Shores Hearing Center is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays. For more information, visit scshearing.com or call (586) 496-7891.

‘THE CAR IS SO QUIRKY AND FUN’

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — When visiting his aunt and uncle in Tennessee in 1972, Scott Romano spotted a 1960 AMC Metropolitan for sale in the parking lot of a convenience store.

The family had just driven by the Graceland home of superstar singer Elvis Presley in Memphis.

“Elvis was still alive,” Romano said, remembering a family member who snapped a photo of his mom, Suzanne Romano, with Graceland in the background. “I saw this car for sale. I kept looking at it and looking at it.

I had never seen one before.”

Romano’s grandfather, Leonard A. Davis — a car buff himself — jotted down the phone number of the seller. Davis called the owner, made a deal and ultimately purchased the two-door Metropolitan for Romano, who was only 12 at the time and too young

Scott Romano, of Royal Oak, first spotted the 1960 AMC Metropolitan for sale in the parking lot of a convenience store when he was 12. to get behind the wheel just yet.

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

Romano lived in Clarkston at the time, and Davis resided in Waterford.

“My grandpa kept this at his house in Waterford,” Romano said, who remembers many outings in the convertible with his grandfather. “I used to spend the summers

there on Watkins Lake. He would take us for ice cream just about every night. We could put three (people) across in front and two kids in the back. I loved it.”

“The pipes have a nice growl. It has the original fire extinguisher my dad put in,” Shuster said. “It’s all original. I had to replace some parts.”

Shuster kept track of the car’s history. He said the car was once owned by Ned Nickles, the designer of the original Corvair body style.

Shuster’s research also determined that General Motors executive Ed Cole “was the chief engineer” of this car. Stuart Shuster was such a fan of the Corvair that he became a member of the Detroit Area Corvair Club.

On the last day of school sophomore year at Seaholm High School, things switched gears a bit when Shuster finally had the chance to take the car for a spin.

“I asked my father if I could take the car out and drive around,” Shuster remembered.

“He said, ‘If the keys are on my dresser, you can go ahead and do that.’”

So, when the teenager woke up on the last day of school in 1981, he checked the dresser, and saw the keys. He was “shocked” that his dad granted him permission, and after school he rounded up his friend Matt. They cruised around a bit, making their way over to Cranbrook Institute of Science in Bloomfield Hills.

“We were clearly the coolest guys in Birmingham,” Schuster thought.

One stop was a gas station at Maple Road and Woodward Avenue in Birmingham. The gas cap is on the front of the car on the driver’s side.

“As I was backing up, there was a Cadillac Coupe de Ville in front of me,” Shuster said.

That’s when Shuster accidentally bumped something and got a scratch on his dad’s Corvair.

“I just went white,” Shuster said. “It was like waiting for the apocalypse to come home.”

But his dad remained calm when he learned of the mishap.

“He was pretty mellow about it,” Shuster said. “But he garnered my wages.”

That included what Shuster earned on his paper route and from his job at the local hardware store. Shuster did not get behind the wheel of the Corvair again until four years ago when his dad died.

A couple of years ago, the car was invited to be displayed at the annual EyesOn Design on the grounds of the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores. All these years later, there were attendees who remembered the car from its early days with Stuart Shuster.

“It runs really well,” Shuster said. “Driving around, I can feel his spirit.”

luded to the importance of providing skilled trades training to military veterans.

“The veterans’ entry into apprenticeship is just one way we can integrate with Macomb Community College and get our veterans back into our workforce,” James said. “Not just a profession, but a purpose to help reduce veterans suicide and increase our ability to serve and grow our nation and our economy.”

Macomb Community College Board of

Trustees Chair Katherine Lorenzo and Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel also spoke during the event. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a reception and toured the new building, which included classroom demonstrations.

The project’s architects were Hobbs+Black Architects, based in Ann Arbor. Barton Marlow, which has several offices including Detroit and Southfield, was the construction manager.

At press time, the new semester was scheduled to begin Aug. 21.

learned about cars. When Davis died in 1981, Romano inherited the vehicle. It was bittersweet.

“I loved my grandfather. He was so patient about teaching me how to detail a car or tell if a car was original,” said Romano, now of Royal Oak. “My mom said before I even started school, I could call cars by name when they drove by. My mom was into cars, too.”

Davis was a noted antique car restorer.

He also had a star-studded moment when he portrayed Henry Ford in a couple of scenes in the 50th anniversary feature film “The American Road.” The black-and-white movie was produced in 1953 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ford Motor Co. The production mixes archival footage with reenactments. Romano has still photos of Davis’ shots in the film.

“The movie was shown at Greenfield Village and Ford events,” Romano said. “It’s free on YouTube.”

Romano’s mom upholstered the seats on the Metropolitan. Although he’s not Catholic, Romano decorated the car’s dashboard with a number of religious symbols, including the Virgin Mary.

Photo by Patricia O’Blenes

The Metropolitan has a number of features, including this hood ornament.

“When I was a kid, all the Catholics had them on their dashboards. I started collecting them,” he said, adding they also remind him of the song “Plastic Jesus” from the Paul Newman movie “Cool Hand Luke.” “It was a fun song. It always stuck in my head.”

Romano only takes out the two-door Metropolitan occasionally when “I just feel like driving it.”

“The farthest I’ve gone is Port Huron or Ypsilanti. It has 37,000 miles on it now,” Romano said. “The car is so quirky and fun.

It just makes you feel good. For as little as it is, the turning radius is like a Mack truck.

The fenders all have lowrider cutouts.”

Through his research, Romano is quite the historian on the 1960 AMC Metropolitan. According to Romano, the Metropolitan is an American automobile that was

SPECIAL SPECIAL

assembled at the Longbridge Plant in Birmingham, England.

“The doors were interchangeable to save money. It does have this fun little feature: Underneath the dashboard, there’s a ventilation door to let air in,” Romano said.

The car event he enjoys the most is the Ypsilanti Orphan Car Show held every year.

This year’s Ypsilanti Orphan Car Show will

kick off with a cruise Sept. 16 and the car show Sept. 17. For more information, visit ypsiautoheritage.org or call (734) 482-5200.

“I wish more people knew about it. It’s a beautiful setting on Frog Island (Park),” Romano said. “You get to see Tuckers, Studebakers, Packards.”

Anna Marie Asaro, owner of Vincent’s Hair Salon, said she’s excited they’ve decided to extend the cruise to 12 Mile, and that

it gives those businesses something to celebrate. Vincent’s has been in business for 66 years and she said it’s good to see the community support.

“I’m looking forward to it,” Asaro said.

George Takla, owner of George’s Auto Parts, said they’ve been promoting the cruise

in past years.

In a previous article, Rosanne Minne, chairperson of the Shorewood Kiwanis Harper Charity Cruise, said they have around 180 sponsors for this year’s cruise.

Money from those sponsors will be used to support children’s charities in the community and the community in general.

The cruise is on Aug. 30 and, according to a Facebook post made by the Shorewood Kiwanis, will last from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

People can set up chairs in the right of way, Minne said, but everyone was reminded to be safe for the duration of the cruise.

Senior Jaylen Hardy (LB), senior Clintin Allen (LB), senior Ethan Bailey (LB) and senior Matthew McLeod (DB) are expected to lead the Norsemen defense.

Grosse Pointe Woods University Liggett

Last season’s record: 7-3.

League: Catholic League Intersectional 2.

First game: vs. Fowler High, 4:30 p.m. Aug 24.

Tallying its highest win total since 2016, University Liggett is poised for another successful year behind its stout defensive unit.

The Knights allowed just under 15 points per game last season, earning two shutout wins.

If the team is able to repeat its success from last season, Liggett will look to win its first playoff game since 2016.

Grosse Pointe South

Last season’s record: 6-4.

League: Macomb Area Conference White Division.

First game: vs. Port Huron Northern High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Extending its playoff streak to eight, Grosse Pointe South has built a foundation of success with 15 winning seasons since 2007.

Returning key players in junior Sam Craparotta (WR), junior Vincent Vachon (WR), senior Charles Schervish (OL/DL) and junior Noah Hart (DB), South is poised for another successful season.

South will have a tough three-game stretch to end the season with St. Clair Shores Lakeview, Romeo and neighborhood rival Grosse Pointe North.

Harper Woods

Last season’s record: 3-6.

League: Oakland Activities Association White Division.

First game: at Stoney Creek High, 7 p.m.

Aug. 24.

Harper Woods has all the talent to be successful, but it was an adjustment last year playing an OAA-White schedule.

Heading into 2023, Harper Woods returns senior quarterback Stephone Buford Jr., senior wide receiver Keyontae Wilson, and all-region honorees and seniors Willie Powell (RB/LB) and Jessten Johnson (OL).

University of Michigan commit and senior Jacob Oden (DB), junior Bryant Weatherspoon (DE) and Powell will anchor

the Pioneers defense.

Scoring 14 or fewer points in five games last season, the Harper Woods offense will look to get going early this season.

Roseville

Last season’s record: 8-3.

League: Macomb Area Conference White Division.

First game: at Bloomfield Hills Brother Rice High (at Lawrence Technological University), 7 p.m. Aug 24.

Earning a third straight playoff appearance for the first time since 2011, coach Vernard Snowden has his guys playing inspired football.

Roseville will have a massive void to fill with the departure of WR/CB Amare Snowden to the University of Wisconsin, but there’s still a healthy amount of talent returning to make another run at the playoffs.

Senior running back BJ Weathersby and junior wide receiver Eric Slater will look to lead the offensive unit while seniors Huston Eubank (LB), Corey Cobb Jr. (LB), Anthony Scott (LB), and Elijah Parker (DB) and juniors Desmond Straughton (DB) and Mike Chude (DL) will anchor the defense.

Senior offensive lineman and all-region honoree William Woodard will lead the offensive line.

Warren Cousino

Last season’s record: 6-4.

League: Macomb Area Conference Gold Division.

First game: at Auburn Hills Avondale High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Tallying its highest win total since 2016, Cousino was dominant in league play as the team averaged 27 points per game and allowed just over 15 points per game in MAC-Gold matchups.

Senior running back Dequawn Woodruff will look to lead the offense this season as Cousino attempts to make its first backto-back playoff appearances since 20062007.

Warren De La Salle

Last season’s record: 13-1.

League: Catholic League Central Division.

First game: at Davison High (Flint Atwood Stadium), 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Winning is a tradition unlike any other at De La Salle, and the program has done a lot of it recently with five state championships since 2014, including back-to-back wins in 2017-2018 and now 2021-2022.

Looking to hoist a third straight title, the Pilots will be without an array of all-state talent from last season including University

unfortunately a lot of the infrastructure remains,” Miller said. “And so we have old, antiquated infrastructure.”

Miller said they have an eye toward water quality when it comes to updating the infrastructure of the pump station. Their main goal is to reduce the number of combined sewer overflows they discharge into Lake St. Clair. CSOs occur when combined sewer systems become overwhelmed with rainwater and sewage, and the untreated water flows into nearby lakes and rivers.

They’ve already completed some “operational process changes” to reduce the number of CSOs pumped into the lake and they have another project scheduled to be complete and online by the fall. The project for the Chapaton Retention Basin will expand the canal, giving it an extra 13 million gallons of storage.

Other parts of the project include replacing the sluice gates, separating sanitary sewage from storm water in a 14-acre area, replacing an old pipe and adding a trash collector at the end of the pipe.

The project will cost around $27 million. According to a press release, $25 mil-

lion comes from the American Rescue Plan Act funds from the state and $2 million was allocated by the state last year.

A $16 million project is going to upgrade the 55-year-old electrical equipment in and around the pump station. They are also going to add three new custom-made 2-megawatt generators.

“So this is a huge complete transformation of our electrical,” Miller said.

According to a press release, $9.5 million comes from ARPA funds allocated by the Macomb County Board of Commissioners and $6 million comes from state ARPA funds.

Miller said these generators will aid in a heavy rain event if the power goes out. She recalled one such event in recent years when the pumps went out in Detroit.

“And everything flooded in the Jefferson/Chalmers area, all of the Grosse Pointes, hundreds of millions of dollars of damage,” Miller said. “Because guess what? We had a storm, and they did not have redundancy for their electrical, and we don’t want that to happen here.”

Miller said she recognizes there is something happening to the weather with large amounts of heavy rainfall occurring. She also said experts say it’s going to continue.

“We want to be very much on the lead-

ing edge of being proactive in positioning our county in the right footprint for water quality, for infrastructure investment, for the economics of the blue economy here and certainly to protect our residents to the best of our ability,” Miller said.

Hertel said he is privileged to represent the entire shoreline and it comes with a responsibility to protect it. “(There is) $1.6 billion in economic activity every single year to our region because of this lake, and more importantly, 4 million people get their drinking water directly out of this water source,” Hertel said. “So we have to make sure we are doing everything we can to invest in our infrastructure so we’re protecting that resource.”

Brown said Macomb County is leading by example and that many people had a part in improving the water quality.

“All hands are on deck to apply the right tools that we need to improve the water quality for today’s generation and future generations to come,” Brown said.

Walby said this is how government should work, pointing out they had both Republicans and Democrats working together to create and execute the project.

“We come together in the right fashion, for the right projects and at the end of the day we’re going to help the people who use

es,” Kaminski said. “It was a do-all aircraft.”

Curtiss produced around 4,000 JN aircraft, many of which went on to influence aviation after the war. Planes were sold on the surplus market for about $400 (about $6,110 today) and many were bought by barnstormer pilots, flown around on the exhibition circuit before infamously meeting their end being crashed into barns. Curtiss JN planes found a more productive civilian use after the war, serving as the first airmail couriers. According to Kaminski, only seven Curtiss JN planes have survived to see a second century.

The latest Curtiss JN-4 to swing by Selfridge was found by Kentucky-based aviator and documentarian Dorian Walker in 2011.

Originally owned by an Ohio engineer trying to make it airworthy by Federal Aviation Administration standards, Walker and an aircraft mechanic bought the plane from him after a failed FAA inspection.

Planning to get the plane back in flying order, Walker and the mechanic built the plane up from scratch using old-growth Sitka spruce wood for the frame and fabric for

of Cincinnati quarterback Brady Drogosh.

But with the culture De La Salle has in place, coach Dan Rohn said his group is retooled and ready to make another run at it.

“It just has to do with our process,” Rohn said. “I had a high school basketball coach come to our practice the other day, and he’s had a lot of success himself, but he just wanted to see what we were doing. He watched us in the weight room and he said, ‘I’ve never seen a group of kids move around the weight room and do things so routinely, like it’s expected.’”

De La Salle’s offense will rely on senior running back Rhett Roeser to handle the bulk of the carries while junior running back Michael Lopez will also see some touches.

Sophomore wide receiver Damion King leads a highly touted wide receiving room alongside junior Phoenix Glassnor and Briheem Rahbi, while senior Caden Campbell returns at the tight end position.

Only a sophomore, King is a speedster who is poised to make a name for himself in 2023.

“There are kids that it just comes nat-

ural to and they can do things at a different level, and Damion King is one of those kids,” Rohn said. “You don’t get to coach very many of those kids often. We’ve had a lot of coaches on campus, and when we had our college day, and I think we had 70 coaches, Damion King striked the eye of all of them. He’s so fluid and so natural. Everything is effortless.”

Warren Fitzgerald

Last season’s record: 2-7.

League: Macomb Area Conference Gold Division.

First game: vs. Warren Mott, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Defense was a massive struggle for Fitzgerald in 2022, and it’ll be the primary focus as coach JuWan Shakespear and his squad enter the 2023 season.

Allowing just over 38 points per game last season, including three games of 50 points or more, Fitzgerald will look to senior linebacker J’len Anderson to anchor the defense this season.

Warren Lincoln

Last season’s record: 2-6.

League: Macomb Area Conference Bronze Division.

First game: vs. Mount Clemens High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Lincoln is a team to keep an eye on this season largely due to the fact that its offense and defense both showed flashes of efficiency last year.

Senior quarterback Terrance Lombard returns to lead the offensive unit, while junior wide receivers Jeremiah Hutson and Aaron Logan lead the receiving core. Senior running back Davis Rogers is expected to handle the bulk of the carries this season.

“You’ll see another level of efficiency on the offensive side of the ball,” Lincoln coach Darrius Alexander said. “You’re going to see a lot of consistency and a lot of guys making plays.”

Warren Mott

Last season’s record: 5-5.

League: Macomb Area Conference Blue Division.

First game: at Warren Fitzgerald High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Last season’s playoff appearance was a major step in the right direction for Mott after snapping its 10-year playoff streak in 2021.

While Mott saw a first-round exit, the team is looking to show that it is headed in

the right direction this season behind senior WR/CB Sopuruchi Ojinnaka, junior WR/ CB Wes Gilmore, senior RB/DE John Grant and senior RB/LB N’Marian Gilbert.

Mott coach Tom Milanov said he expects his team to benefit from multiple qualities this season.

“Team speed is definitely a benefit, and we definitely have good camaraderie and a team that likes each other,” Milanov said.

“That can make a world of a difference.”

Mott hasn’t lost a season opener since the 2011-12 season.

Warren Woods Tower

Last season’s record: 2-7.

League: Macomb Area Conference Gold Division.

First game: at St. Clair Shores Lakeview High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

For Tower, it’s all about getting the offense and defense on the same page.

Both units showed flashes of efficiency in 2022, but neither seemed to click when Tower needed them most.

Tower will have an early test again as it opens up against St. Clair Shores Lakeview, who blanked Tower 35-0 last season.

sign that you need to have that conversation,” Perry said.

She went on to say people need to normalize the conversation around suicide and mental health in general.

“You wouldn’t hesitate to reach out for help when it comes to your physical body. If a bone was broken or if you had heart disease or something of that nature,” Perry said. “Anything having to do with your brain should be no different.”

The signs of a potentially suicidal individual are not the same for everyone. Bad days with anxiety or minor depression don’t necessarily mean that an individual is going to commit suicide.

“It’s when those (bad) days outweigh the good days is when you really need to take a closer look at things,” Perry said.

Robert Price, president and trustee of Team Cont;nue, said he lost his son to suicide. His son had made previous attempts to take his own life and battled depression.

Price decided to start Team Cont;nue in the Rochester and Shelby Township area after another young man in their community committed suicide.

The word “Cont;nue” came from a tattoo Price’s son had on his arm. After his son’s previous suicide attempts, he left notes. But during his last attempt, he didn’t leave one.

“We kind of felt, well, that (Cont;nue) was a message to us because he didn’t leave a note when he died on his last attempt,” Price said.

They printed Team Cont;nue on shirts and hosted a walk raising money when they first started out. After participating in other suicide prevention walks and learning of other organizations, Price said there was one opening, from what he could tell, that no one had thought of.

“Go in and provide counseling for young adults and adolescents that couldn’t afford it,” Price said.

This year, they’ve raised close to $60,000.

Price said he wants others who have experienced losing a loved one to suicide to know they are not alone.

“No matter how short a person’s life is, it has a purpose,” Price said. “I’d want them to know that they’re going to find a purpose in their loved one’s life, maybe not exactly like the way we did, but it will come to them.”

Macomb County Community Mental Health’s crisis lines are (586) 307-9100 and (855) 927-4747. They will serve individuals regardless of insurance or county of residence.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention hosts “Out of the Darkness” walks to raise awareness. To find a walk near you, visit their website at supporting.afsp.org.

Fraud by wire reported

At 4:22 p.m. on Aug. 3, a report was made about a fraud by wire that occurred on the same day in the 22000 block of Bayview Drive.

Upon arrival, an officer spoke to the victim, a 39-year-old man, who stated he attempted to close on a business and had wired $215,000 to the title company. He received multiple email instructions about how to wire the money and was given an email and a phone number. After the money was wired, he found out it was sent to a fraudulent account. On Aug. 2, he went to Huntington bank to transfer money to the title company/ beneficiary. His money was transferred from his bank account to a Chase Bank account based out of Canton. The real loan processor informed the victim that their company never received the funds on Aug. 3. Upon further review, they found that the email and the phone number listed for the loan processor were not correct and were fake.

When the victim found this out, he reportedly called Huntington Bank and was informed that not much could be done but that the bank would try. He contacted the FBI and was told if the money was being transferred to an offshore account, they had about 72 hours to get the money back or there was nothing they could do. At that point, the 72 hours would be up on Aug. 4 at approximately 11 a.m.

The officer had the victim forward the emails to police, and the victim’s wife also forwarded the Huntington National Bank wire transfer request showing the transfer of the money into the fraudulent account. The victim asked for any assistance getting his money back. At the time, the officer did not have the name of the FBI agent they spoke to.

Property damage reported

At 3:37 p.m. on Aug. 8, a report was made about destruction of property that occurred the same day in the 23000 block of Harper Avenue.

Upon arrival, the officer spoke to the complainant who stated a man came into the location to order food, was unhappy with the customer service and punched the kiosk touch screen on the way out. The kiosk appeared to be cracked and went blank.

The complainant was able to provide a plate number, which when checked came up with the vehicle and address of the suspect. The complainant was also able to pull footage of the incident.

Lawn equipment stolen from city park

At 9:16 a.m. on Aug. 7, a report was made about an act of larceny that occurred between Aug. 5 and Aug. 6 in the 32000 block of Harper Avenue.

Upon arrival, the officer spoke with the complainant, a 41-year-old man who works for the city of St. Clair Shores. He stated that lawn equipment was missing from a fenced in area attached to an out building at Kyte Monroe Park. The fence had a lock on it which was also missing. There are no cameras in the area and the building is quite far from Harper and surrounded by the city park.

The items were last seen on Aug. 5 at approximately 3 p.m. They were reported missing on Aug. 6 at around 6 p.m. The items missing were two blowers, one trimmer and one sod cutter. There is no suspect information at this time.

the biplane’s wings. Once finished, Walker flew the plane and leased it for $1 a year to the Friends of Jenny nonprofit. Walker and the Friends flew the Curtiss JN in military colors from airshow to airshow wearing the tail number 38262. The same numbers appear on a Curtiss JN shown upside down on a famously misprinted airmail stamp.

“It’s a grand old dame to fly, but you’re constantly flying it,” Walker said. “There’s no dynamic stability. You’ve constantly got your hand on the stick, and of course it vibrates.

The seats are wooden. It’s 100% authentic.”

Unfortunately, the rare flying JN-4 met its end on May 15, 2023. While flying back from an airshow near St. Louis, the plane suffered an engine failure in the highlands surrounding its home base of Bowling Green, Kentucky. Unable to find a suitable place to land, Walker and copilot Craig O’Mara had to put the Curtiss down in an abandoned strip mine.

“When it settled on its final settling down, suddenly the gear caught what must’ve been mud because it just ripped the gear off and the plane went off on its belly and then slid to a stop,” Walker said.

While the aircrew was unharmed, the JN-4 was split in two. Walker’s time flying the plane was over, but a great relationship formed at the 2022 Selfridge Air Show turned into a $65,000 opportunity for the on-base museum. After a period of fundraising, FreeStar Financial Credit Union bought the plane on the museum’s behalf and donated it to their collection.

Arriving by truck bed much like the first JN to fly from Selfridge, Kaminski says the museum plans to restore the plane to be back on static display by April 2024, with repairs to the wings and fuselage. It’s not impossible to fly the plane again, but neither Walker nor the museum are interested in doing so.

“The plane can be airworthy, but we’ve made a promise that it will not fly,” Kaminski said. “It’s too valuable.”

Once fixed, the Curtiss JN-4 will join the museum’s French-made SPAD S.XIII biplane. Together, the planes represent the early years of military aviation as the first trainer and fighters assigned to Selfridge.

“If you’ve been out there you know they’ve got a great collection of aircraft that go from D-Z,” Walker said. “Now they’re going to go from A-Z. … It’s such a rare and beautiful airplane. It’s so large with all the cabling and structure of the airplane. It’s going to be such an amazing asset for you all in that part of the world.”

Located on the Selfridge base, identification and a background check are required to access the Selfridge Military Air Museum.

Pre-registration and valid identification information can be found at selfridgeairmuseum.org/base-access-pre-registration.

The museum is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Adults get in for $10, seniors and military for $8, and children 4-17 for $5. Children younger than 3 and active duty military members in uniform enter for free. The museum’s season ends Oct. 29. Call (586) 239-5035 for more information.

expansion to the high school and updating heating and cooling systems. The district asked voters to maintain the bond already in place, which will not increase the current level of taxes voters are paying.

Precincts 1-6 voted on the proposal, according to the city’s website. There are 21 precincts in St. Clair Shores.

South Lake Schools Superintendent Ted Von Hiltmayer said he wanted to thank the community for supporting the district. He said there’s been a long history of the voters supporting the South Lake community. He also added program and facility excellence is a result of that support.

“We definitely appreciate the support and the trust as we create a vibrant learning environment for our students, staff and community,” Von Hiltmayer said.

Mayor Kip Walby said he is happy the proposal passed and that he’s looking forward to seeing the projects.

Michael Damiani, president of the South Lake Schools Board of Education, said they are pleased with the results and they’re happy the community supported the district.

“We are immensely proud of the South Lake school district, the families that live within that district,” Damiani said.

NOTES NEWS AND NOTE ITEMS TAKEN FROM AROUND OUR COVERAGE AREAS

OK2SAY shows increase in reports

METRO DETROIT — On July 25, the office of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer released an annual report that showed Michigan State Police logged more than 7,400 tips from OK2SAY in 2022, which was a 19% increase from the previous year.

OK2SAY is a student safety program which allows anyone to confidentially report tips on criminal activities or potential harm directed at Michigan students, school employees or schools. Tips can include reports on bullying, individual threats to a specific person, drugs and alcohol use, harassment and depression.

OK2SAY is available 24/7 and tips can be submitted by calling (855) 5652729 or texting to 652729, which stands for OK2SAY. Tipsters also can send an email to OK2SAY@mi.gov or at the website michigan.gov/ok2say. The OK2SAY mobile app is available for download in app stores for iPhone and Android.

Initial tips are fielded by Michigan State Police OK2SAY technicians. They are trained to receive, analyze and disseminate tip information to local law enforcement agencies, school officials, community mental health service programs, or the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services for a timely response.

The state’s fiscal year 2024 budget includes an additional $378,000 to support the hiring of three more OK2SAY technicians to respond to the increasing number of tips.

ROSEVILLE — Dewon Henderson, 37, who was convicted of two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct by a jury in June, was sentenced Aug. 2.

In December 2021, Henderson sexually assaulted a minor in a hotel in Roseville. He was convicted after a four-day jury trial in the 16th Circuit Court in Macomb County.

On Aug. 2, he was sentenced to 25-40 years in prison. He must also register on the Michigan Sex Offender Registry, have lifetime electronic monitoring and pay court fines and costs.

Joshua Jones, Henderson’s attorney, did not return a request for comment.

Items stolen from apartment

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 12:07 a.m. July 16, Shelby Township police officers were dispatched to an apartment in the area of Dequindre and West Utica roads on a breaking and entering report. Upon arrival, officers met with the caller and observed that someone had forcibly entered the front door.

Officers checked the apartment but didn’t find any suspects inside. A safe, money, several purses and jewelry reportedly had been stolen from the apartment. Evidence technicians were called to the scene to gather potential evidence, and the case was turned over to the detective bureau for further investigation.

Boat partially sinks after pump lines cut

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 12:37 p.m. on July 24, a report was made about property damage that occurred between July 16 and July 24 in the 24000 block of Jefferson Avenue.

Upon arrival, the officer spoke to the victim, a 42-year-old man, who stated when he had his boat docked during the said times, an unknown suspect cut the lines that operate the pump. The boat was reportedly taking on water, causing it to sink due to the lines being cut.

According to the report, the marina indicated that the victim would be required to pay $3,500 to have the boat removed because it partially sunk.

The victim stated he was unsure about the cost of any repairs. The insurance company was unknown.

Shoplifter takes 10 cases of 5-Hour Energy

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 5:29 p.m. on July 21, a report was made about an alleged retail fraud on the same date in the 23000 block of Marter Road.

Upon arrival, an officer spoke to the manager, a 24-year-old man, who stated that a man in his late 30s to early 40s entered the store and grabbed

a basket. The man went to where the 5-Hour Energy drinks were and the manager followed, having recognized him from previous retail thefts.

The manager asked the suspect if he needed any assistance and the man stated he did not. The suspect proceeded to load approximately 10 cases of 5-Hour Energy into a basket.

The manager followed the suspect to the front of the store and told the clerk to call 911 before following the suspect out the door past the point of sale. The suspect got into a vehicle and the driver of the vehicle reportedly matched the description of the registered vehicle owner.

The registered owner had a warrant out for her arrest. The manager showed the officer the footage of the theft and also provided a complaint number from a previous incident with the suspect.

Truck taken

GROSSE POINTE WOODS — Three unknown suspects are believed to have been involved in the theft of a 2022 Ford Bronco from a parking lot in the 20000 block of Mack Avenue at around 5 p.m.

July 25.

According to a police report, the victim left the truck unlocked with the keys inside while visiting a business in the area. A witness saw the suspects — teens riding bikes through the alley — and saw one of them enter the truck and drive away in it.

Police said they were able to locate and recover the truck soon after in Detroit thanks to a GPS tracker inside the vehicle. The truck also contained a wallet with cash and debit cards; police said the suspects racked up more than $5,000 worth of purchases on the debit cards before the victim could cancel them.

Packages plucked from truck

GROSSE POINTE PARK — While a delivery truck was parked in the 15000 block of Kercheval Avenue dropping off packages, police said an unknown suspect took advantage of the rear truck door being left open to snag some of the packages left inside at around 5:30 p.m. July 19.

The driver, who witnessed the incident, said the suspect ran westbound toward Alter Road.

Trespassers try to cool off in property’s water

STERLING HEIGHTS — A caller told police July 21 that two male suspects were trespassing on private property near 15 Mile and Schoenherr roads.

The suspects allegedly said they wanted to cool off in some water, despite “no trespassing” signs on the premises. They reportedly drove out of a funeral home parking lot prior to police arriving.
