The process of defining Sterling Heights’ vision for the next 17 years or so is currently in motion. During an Aug. 1 Sterling Heights City Council meeting, Strategiz consultant Becky Davenport briefly updated the city on the findings of a SWOT-style analysis that analyzes an organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. City Manager Mark Vanderpool credited the existing Visioning 2030 Plan, which was revealed in 2014, for inspiring around $50 million in amenities and investments such as park upgrades, the Dodge Park Farmers Mar-

When a residential or commercial property in Sterling Heights is identified as receiving violations, a sign is placed on the site. While residents participating in the Visioning 2040 plan recently listed strong property values as a strength of Sterling Heights, residents and city staff also listed property maintenance issues as an emerging threat.

RESIDENT SEEKS HELP TO GET ‘SPAGHETTI MAN’ A RELIABLE VEHICLE BY ERIC CZARNIK eczarnik@candgnews.com

Sterling Heights resident Dawn King loves attending Sterling Heights events like Music in the Park concerts and watching everyone cut loose on the dance floor. And that includes Brian Alsobrooks, the local dancer known as “Spaghetti Man,” who is often seen wearing a jacket with the nickname inscribed on it.

“No matter who you are … you know about him,” King said. “You get a kick out of him. As far as I’m concerned, he’s a hometown celebrity.” Alsobrooks, 61, from Sterling Heights, is aware of his reputation. He told the Sentry that he has been attending and dancing at local concerts for over 20 years. He said his reputation as Spaghetti Man started in 1991, when he was attending Northern See SPAGHETTI on page 18A

Behind a culture shift and a core of veteran leaders, Utica Ford II is poised for a successful season in 2023.

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. James, a veteran who served in Iraq, alluded 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.

WATCH Man arrested for indecency outside Fuddruckers

Police arrested a man Aug. 5 for indecent exposure outside Fuddruckers, 40955 Van Dyke Ave. According to police, the man was seen in a silver Ford Focus holding an iPhone, his seat reclined. Police said the man froze and “started apologizing” when an officer knocked on the window. Police reportedly told the man to put down the phone, pull up his pants and exit the Focus. Then they arrested the man, impounded the vehicle and took the phone as evidence.

Woman arrested for self-checkout shoplifting

Police went to Meijer, 36600 Van Dyke Ave., Aug. 6 after hearing that staff had detained a female suspect for shoplifting. The woman allegedly tried to swipe $171.91 worth of items described as “household goods” without paying for them at the self-checkout area.

The vehicle owner was reportedly alerted via a phone app about an attempted break-in and found the vehicle with a broken front passenger window. Nothing was reportedly taken during the incident, police said.

Teens smoke weed in Starbucks bathroom

Police went to Starbucks, 2148 Metropolitan Parkway, Aug. 6 upon hearing that two males and two females, all between 16 and 17 years old, were occupying the bathroom and smoking in it.

HUD periodically monitors communities’ use of the program for effectiveness and rule compliance, and Sterling Heights hadn’t been monitored since 2011, officials said. “As I mentioned, being selected for monitoring is not something communities look forward to, especially knowing that HUD is very stringent in their standards, and their public reviews can be very harsh,” Vanderpool said. “Thankfully, Sterling Heights’ results did not indicate any deficiencies in our program whatsoever.” Vanderpool thanked Jarzab and Allor. “Without their effort and this highly detailed work that’s required by the federal government, we would not be in this exemplary position we’re in today,” he said.

THE PLACE TO BE IN 2023

A vehicle that was trying to outrun the cops was reportedly involved in a crash that killed a Sterling Heights woman Aug. 12, Sterling Heights police said. According to police, the incident started around 9:30 p.m., when officers at Van Dyke Avenue and 15 Mile Road tried to pull over a 16-year-old male Detroit resident who was driving a tan Chevrolet Equinox. The cause for the stop was not explained. However, the Equinox allegedly fled and headed northbound along Van Dyke, police said. Then it reportedly ran through a red light at Metropolitan Parkway and crashed into a black GMC Terrain that was in the intersection. According to Sterling Heights police Lt. Mario Bastianelli, the Terrain had three Sterling Heights residents as occupants: a 34-year-old man, a 31-year-old woman and their 2-year-old son. The occupants were all critically injured and hospitalized, and the woman died, police said. “Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and their families of this tragic incident,” Bastianelli said in a statement. Police arrested the Equinox’s driver, who reportedly wasn’t injured. Bastianelli added that police were still investigating the matter and couldn’t comment further at the time.

Making the playoffs for the 11th straight season in 2022, Chippewa Valley coach Scott Merchant and his guys have regrouped after a first round exit to division rival Romeo last season. Senior quarterback Andrew Schuster, a Grand Valley State University commit, returns under center this season looking better than ever, according to Merchant. “Physically, he’s bigger and stronger,” Merchant said. “He has all the tools you want in a quarterback, so we just have to do a good job of protecting him and let him do his thing. I’ll put him up against any quarterback in the state.” Schuster will be joined by his top offensive weapon in junior wide receiver DeShaun Lanier, who earned all-region honors last season with six touchdown receptions. Lanier will headline an explosive receiving corps alongside senior Evan DiBucci and junior Eric Thomas Jr. Thomas Jr. and junior Caleb Fowlkes will handle the bulk of the carries offensively. Senior defensive back Rayshaun Hester — an Eastern Michigan University commit — senior defensive lineman Anthony Wright and senior defensive lineman Davont’a Love headline a Chippewa Valley defensive unit that allowed just under 16 points per game last season. Chippewa Valley will have to wait until Oct. 6 to get another shot at Romeo, but they’ll have a tough schedule until then with West Bloomfield, Harrison Township L’Anse Creuse and Utica Eisenhower to open the season. Merchant said it’s the price of competing in the MAC-Red. “Every year, I don’t think it can get any harder, and then we find a way to make it harder,” Merchant said.

Clinton Township Clintondale

Last season’s record: 3-6. League: Macomb Area Conference Silver Division. First game: vs. Grosse Pointe North High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24. Snapping its three-year run of state playoff appearances, Clintondale’s 2022 season should be remembered less for its 1-6 record with two games to go and more for its 2-0 finish to end the year. Clintondale returns all-region defensive lineman Shamar Riser-Pressley as he looks to anchor the Dragons defensive unit. After averaging 15 points per game offensively for the first seven games in 2022, Clintondale finished the final two games scoring just over 25 points per game, and the team will look to carry that into this season.

Clintondale will have early tests against Grosse Pointe North and Madison Heights Lamphere in two of the team’s first three games.

in a player. He does everything right and is a great kid on and off the field, but his motor is ridiculous.”

Fraser

Last season’s record: 11-1 League: Macomb Area Conference Red Division. First game: vs. Dearborn Fordson High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Last season’s record: 1-8. League: Macomb Area Conference Blue Division. First game: at Troy Athens High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24. After two seven-point losses to open the season, Fraser struggled to find its footing throughout the rest of the year, which snapped a back-to-back playoff appearance streak. A three-year span would have been the longest streak since Fraser made the playoffs from 1991 to 1994. Now refreshed and energized, Fraser will once again play a tough out-of-conference schedule with Troy Athens, Sterling Heights Stevenson and Troy all making appearances again this season. Senior quarterback Jack Tury will command the huddle again this season while junior wide receiver Kenneth Vinson Jr. will look to emerge as one of Tury’s premier targets.

Harrison Township L’Anse Creuse

Last season’s record: 7-5. League: Macomb Area Conference White Division. First game: at Ferndale High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24. L’Anse Creuse continues to take massive strides year in and year out with the football program. Capturing the school’s first district title in school history and extending its historic playoff streak to four, there’s a lot of excitement around L’Anse Creuse football heading into 2023. Former St. Clair Shores South Lake coach Vincent Phillips will enter his first year with the Lancers and will have an early test at filling the void of a senior-filled offense last season that included quarterback Jaiden Sanders, running back Alan OuYang and receivers Donovan Weatherly and Mitchell Rivard. Luckily, Phillips returns key playmakers in senior wide receiver Quincy Dorsey, junior running back Donovan Rey, senior running back Bryant Shack, and senior wide receiver Amarion Brownlee. Brownlee will also be a vital part of the Lancers defensive backfield while senior defensive tackle Brandon Gordon will anchor the defensive line. An all-region selection last year, Gordon is poised for another monster season in 2023. “Once you see him in person, his motor don’t stop,” Phillips said. “He’s all you want

Macomb Dakota

senior defensive end and team captain Jake Kowalkowski, senior defensive end and team captain CJ Russell, and junior linebacker DiMari Malone are expected to anchor the defensive unit this season.

Macomb L’Anse Creuse North

It’s no surprise to anyone that Dakota made the playoffs again, a streak that dates back to 2000 and is a Macomb County record, but a perfect regular season, a MACRed league title, and a district title added an impressive touch to the season. Dakota last went unbeaten in the regular season in 2013, and with that comes extreme expectations that Dakota is more than accustomed to. Junior Jadon Ford will take control of the offensive unit this season after Ethan Hamby did everything and more than a coach could have asked during his tenure with the Cougars. Senior running back and team captain Austin Tuchowski is expected to be the bell cow this season behind an offensive line anchored by senior lineman and team captain Bryce Ward. Senior cornerback Jalen Whittaker,

Last season’s record: 3-6. League: Macomb Area Conference Blue Division. First game: at Troy High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24. The streak is over! After 17-straight losses, North picked up a win over Warren Mott and finished 2-1 in its last three games to carry some momentum into 2023. “I felt like we finally got the big chip on our shoulder off our back with getting the win,” North coach Hannibal Roda said. Seniors Landon Coker and Carson Grant headline the offensive line while seniors James Watts and Blake Walmsley will anchor the receiving corps for North this season. Senior linebacker Jack Mullins, who tallied 111 tackles last season and holds the school record for career tackles, returns to bolster the linebacking core with Walmsley while sophomore Caleb Johnson will lead the defensive line.

The pendulum is swinging at North, and it appears to be swinging in the team’s favor as it looks to start the season on the right foot. “There’s a big culture change here,” Roda said. “Everyone has bought in.”

Macomb Lutheran North

Last season’s record: 3-6. League: Catholic League Intersectional 1 Division. First game: at St. Clair Shores South Lake High, 7 p.m., Aug. 24. Their record may not indicate it from last year, but Lutheran North was on the verge of having one of the better seasons in school history in 2022. Holding fourth quarter leads in five of its six losses, North’s inexperience and youth showed, and that’s where coach Garrett Wenzelburger expects to see a transformation this season. “We were just young,” Wenzelburger said. “We blew a lot of leads and couldn’t finish games, but we were pretty explosive on offense.” The Mustangs offensive unit was ex-

tremely successful last year behind junior Eddie Cesar, who threw for 16 touchdowns and ran for 13 in 2022, and he’s expected to lead the huddle in his senior season with junior wide receiver Hudson MacDonald back on the outside. A major offseason addition for North was hiring former Buffalo Bills linebacker and Shelby Township native John DiGiorgio as the team’s defensive coordinator. “I think what John has done is just kind of brought in some schemes that fit this team well, and he’s just coaching what he knows,” Wenzelburger said. Senior linebacker Ian Ruatto is expected to lead the defensive unit.

Mount Clemens

Last season’s record: 7-3. League: Charter School Conference Silver Division. First game: at Warren Lincoln High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24. After opening the season with a loss, Mount Clemens was firing on all cylinders en route to a seven-game win streak. With returning all-conference players in senior offensive/defensive lineman Brian Allen and senior wide receiver/defensive back Neco Landers Jr., Mount Clemens will look to have another impressive season in hopes of

making its fourth straight playoff appearance.

Sterling Heights

Last season’s record: 1-8. League: Macomb Area Conference Blue Division. First game: vs. Madison Heights Lamphere High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24. The Sterling Heights offense showed some flashes last season, but the offensive output and defensive stops never seemed to fully click at the right time. Sterling Heights will open up against Lamphere again this season with hopes of getting the offense going early, but it’ll be a quick test for the defensive unit after giving up 64 points in last season’s opener.

Sterling Heights Parkway Christian

Last season’s record: 6-6. League: Michigan Independent Athletic Conference. First game: vs. New Haven High, 7 p.m., Aug. 24. That Parkway Christian run game is no joke, and teams are about to get another dose of it this year. After a lackluster 2021 season kept the Eagles from making the playoffs, a 1-5 start in 2022 looked like all signs were pointing in

the wrong direction for coach Joe Beck and his guys. Tallying five straight wins to end the season, Parkway Christian earned the school’s first district title since 2008. Heading into 2023, it’s all about hitting the ground running. “There’s more of a focus and more of a determination not to have a repeat from last year,” Beck said. “I was playing psychologist for those first six weeks, trying to figure out what the problem was, but finally we got the boys on board and things started going well for us.” Senior fullback DJ Quest and senior running back Kyler Maiorana both earned all-region honors as Maiorana ran for 1,861 yards and 20 touchdowns, including 10 games of 100 yards or more. Maiorana was a workhorse for Parkway Christian last season, tallying 285 carries. “When it comes to work ethic and durability, there’s nobody better than Kyler,” Beck said. Senior quarterback Luke Wolgast will be under center for the Eagles offense while senior wide receiver/tight end Logan Zielinski — an all-region honoree — and senior wide receiver Dane Mazek look to be the top targets in the passing game.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK

LEFT: Tom McDonald, of Rochester Hills, has decorated this garage condominium at the M1 Concourse to reflect his love for cars. ABOVE: McDonald’s 1957 Porsche Speedster is a very rare car.

M1 CONCOURSE BRINGS CAR ENTHUSIASTS TOGETHER IN AN AUTOMOTIVE ENVIRONMENT

om McDonald has been around cars his entire life. “Growing up, I could tell every car by the sound of the motor,” he said. As a family man with a wife and four daughters, McDonald worked in automotive communication for more than 50 years. Now retired, McDonald can often be found at his favorite spot in town: the M1 Concourse in Pontiac. The 87-acre M1 Concourse — located at the northwest corner of Woodward Avenue and South Boulevard — is known as a premier

destination for automotive entertainment and recreation. The concourse is a community of private car condominiums with living rooms and kitchenettes. Each car condo garage features two-story open spaces ranging in size that allow for parking multiple vehicles. The concourse also features a 1.5-mile road course, an events center, and indoor and outdoor spaces that overlook the track. It’s a place where car buffs can gather for private and public events. There’s also a retail store on-site. “This is like a country club for car people. It’s fun. It’s a place to play and a place to rest,” said McDonald, who resides in Rochester Hills. “This was an old General Motors

plant. It was like a brownfield.” The M1 Concourse is the ideal place for McDonald to store and drive his five cars: a 2017 Mazda MX-5 Cup racing car, a 2016 Mazda Miata street car, a 1957 Porsche Speedster, a 2016 Porsche 911 Carrera, and a hybrid 2019 Porsche Panamera. McDonald said the Miata “is wonderful for the street and the track.” “It provides a thrill and a smile,” he said. “You get out of this car and you can’t help but smile.” As for the 1957 Porsche Speedster, “This is a very rare car. Very few of them were made,” McDonald said. “It has a rear engine and has been fully restored.”

Inside his condominium his love for cars is evident by the number of posters and mementos dedicated to his years of working in the automobile industry. One special piece is the toy replica model of a 1956 Chevy Bel-Air. “I took my wife on our first date in this car. It was a drive-in in Pennsylvania,” McDonald said. “I was in college. That brings back a lot of memories.” McDonald held executive positions in automotive communication with various companies over the years. That includes Volkswagen of America, Mazda, Porsche, Audi and ThyssenKrupp. His primary responsibility was to maintain a relationship with the com-

pany he was working for and the media. He was always available, for instance, when a new car was unveiled. “We’d launch new vehicles, maybe at a racetrack, or we’d go to places with good roads,” he said. “We’d give journalists the opportunity to drive the car on the racetrack. When the media person had a question, they could call the PR person. We always took an honest approach. I always thought of myself as the conscience of the company. “I started working in 1967, and in 2021, I fully retired. I hung up my car keys, as they say,” the U.S. Army veteran said. “I have enjoyed every moment of my working career. I traveled around the world and met people. I have my friends in automotive media throughout the country and throughout the world I stay in touch with.” He also stays in contact with many people at the M1 Concourse. “We’re friendly people. We’re outgoing,” McDonald said. “We love to talk about our cars. There’s such a variety of cars and people. Everyone from a 1910 Ford Model T to a 2020 Porsche 918. There are a lot of exotic cars. We have race car drivers, collectors, Cor-

vette guys, Mustang guys.” He also said the M1 Concourse is not a racetrack but rather a performance track. And safety is a priority. “All the cars have to be inspected every year — brakes, tires inspection — to make sure the cars are in good shape,” McDonald said. “It’s a great feeling,” McDonald said of driving along the track. “You’re feeling the Gforce on a turn. You’re feeling the braking and the acceleration. It’s like if you ride a horse. You’re feeling the motion of the horse.” Car owners are allotted a certain number of hours to use the track, and those times shift between morning, afternoon and evening. Each condominium has an official address and a pit lane number. The general public is invited to the M1 Concourse “Cars & Coffee” on the first Saturday of the month from April through October. The time is 8–11 a.m. Each show has a special vehicle theme. The Sept. 2 theme is Ford, Lincoln and Mercury. The Oct. 7 theme is Japanese Domestic Manufacturing and Asian Brands. The M1 Concourse is located at 1 Concourse Drive in Pontiac. For more information, visit m1concourse.com or call (248) 326-9999.

will anchor the Parkway Christian defense this season.

Sterling Heights Stevenson

Last season’s record: 2-7. League: Macomb Area Conference Red Division. First game: at Novi High, 7 p.m. Aug. 25. Like most schools, there can be a drop off in production when a substantially large senior class graduates, and Stevenson felt the bumps and bruises of that in 2022. Just a year removed from a state semifinals trip, Stevenson went through the trials and tribulations of a team in the midst of developing its young talent, but the team is ready to showcase its talent this season. Sophomore quarterback Andrew Knight returns under center this season after an impressive freshman year earned the respect of his coaches and teammates, and he’s shown significant growth this offseason. “He’s looking a lot more comfortable,” Stevenson coach Justin Newcomb said. “He’s getting in there and understanding the offense and understanding not only his responsibility, but the responsibilities and roles of everyone else around him. I think that’s the biggest jump, because last year, as a freshman, he spent so much time learning his job.” Knight will have an array of offensive weapons at his disposal with senior Evan Watson (WR), senior Alexander DeLorey (RB), senior Lucas Timbuc (RB), Ahmad Hrhor (WR), sophomore Ronnie Hill (WR) and senior Ahmed Alawsy all looking to make an impact offensively. Senior linebacker and team captain Caden Bollinger will anchor the Titans defensive unit as it will have early tests against Novi, St. Clair Shores Lakeview, Romeo and Macomb Dakota.

Gwilly return on the outside alongside senior quarterback Tyler Powrozek. Powrozek, who led the Chieftains offense last season, was efficient last year under center, and Utica coach Matthew Marulli is expecting him to progress this season. “Arm-wise, he has a big arm,” Marulli said. “He’s accurate and he can probably make any throw on the field we need him to make. We’re kind of expecting him to take that jump for his senior year.” Senior running back Jeff Cleaver is set to handle the bulk of the carries while seniors Dylan Kelley (LB), Kyle Jacob (DE) and Nick Gojcaj (DE) lead the Utica defense.

emulate it.” Ford II will be led by an improved defense featuring seniors Jacob Brzezinski (DL), Andrew Miller (DL), Jack Nilson (LB) and juniors Eric Johnson (LB), Michael Brown (DB) and Joshua Houston (DB). Call Staff Writer Jonathan Szczepaniak at (586) 498-1090.

Utica Eisenhower

Last season’s record: 6-4. League: Macomb Area Conference Red Division. First game: at Oxford High, 7 p.m. Aug 24. Although Eisenhower’s impressive regular season earned it a playoff bid, the window was quickly closed by division rival Macomb Dakota. Returning senior quarterback Preston Crum and a slew of offensive weapons, Eisenhower is looking more confident than ever entering the 2023 season. “They have the motivation, they have the work ethic and they have the experience,” Eisenhower coach Christopher Smith said. “Those three things we have, and now it’s just a matter of making the plays in those big games. That’s what it always comes down to.” Crum will headline the offense in his fourth season as the starting quarterback while senior Hayden Bills (WR), junior Conner Temple (WR), junior Bryce Hurley (WR) and sophomore Braylon Burnside (WR) will lead the receiving core. Seniors Sammy Agnello (DB), Cody Raymond (LB), David Scheel (DB) and Geovanni Rowe (DT) will headline the Eagles’ defensive unit.

Utica

Utica Ford II

Talk about a way to start and end the season, Utica’s two wins occurred during the season opener and the final game of the year, which leaves the team in an interesting place entering the 2023 season. One thing Utica should be feeling is confidence due to the fact that senior wide receivers Zachary Conley and Numehnne

There’s a culture change happening at Ford II. It may not have translated in the wins and losses category just yet, but coach Mike Szalkiewicz is instilling a new mindset around the Ford II football program in an effort to grow the on-the-field chemistry.

relay races, the team chemistry is improving while the production on the field hopes to turn a corner this year. “We’re grinding,” Szalkiewicz said. “There’s no doubt about it, and we’re killing our kids with love and holding them accountable. We’re trying to walk the walk, so hopefully they buy in and they see it and say, ‘Oh, that’s what it looks like,’ and they

ket and the new Community Center. “I don’t think anyone would argue the fact that these improvements have not been transformative,” he said. “It’s really been a defining time for the city.” According to Davenport, her organization has already sat down for a number of listening sessions with city stakeholders, starting as far back as January 2022 with city officials. Since then, a Visioning 2040 team was formed in June. Davenport said the team comprises 14 directors and 12 staff members from various city departments. In addition, organizers convened a staff listening session and a community listening session over the summer, plus a staff survey that got 206 respondents. “It really showed good, I think, interest and participation in this process,” Davenport said. Then she revealed the result of the SWOT analysis. In this particular analysis, she replaced the typical term “weaknesses” with “challenges.” Davenport said the results show that both city staff members and residents agree that public safety, as well as parks and recreation, are Sterling Heights’ key strengths. Staffers also praised the city’s “large established” business base, its major transportation corridors, and its “clean and welcoming” nature. Meanwhile, responding residents cited the city’s low tax rate, strong property values and the Lakeside development. Then Davenport described some challenges that the staff and public mentioned. Both parties agreed that aging infrastructure and a lack of a downtown are hurdles to overcome. Staff also said the city had too few staffers per resident, language barriers, an aging population and the prevailing perception of

not being a unique destination. Residents particularly cited challenges such as an insufficient tree canopy, limited nonvehicle pathways, and the level of resident awareness concerning city services and events. In terms of opportunities, Davenport said both sides considered those to include creating a downtown, the upcoming Lakeside development, and better communication of services and events. Furthermore, staffers also saw good chances for expanding service accessibility and making districts or neighborhoods with distinct brands. Residents saw opportunities for climate change and sustainability initiatives, Davenport added. Both staff and residents agreed that potential threats include competition from younger communities, as well as property maintenance issues. In addition, staff pointed to potential threats regarding local government funding sources, the population getting older, and nonemergency 911 calls taxing the EMS system. Residents meanwhile listed DTE infrastructure, climate change and the changing retail environment. Looking ahead, Davenport said the strategic planners still needed to interview City Council members, conduct a September community survey and hold a forum with business leaders. Then in November and December, the organizers will “draft and refine” the new visioning plan, show it to the City Council in January and share it with other stakeholders in February, she said. Vanderpool expressed his eagerness to proceed with the visioning process. “We’ll continue to chip away at this, but we really want to continue to hear feedback from the community as well,” he said. “They’re incredibly important stakeholders, including our business community.” Learn more about Sterling Heights by visiting sterling-heights.net or by calling (586) 446-2489.

Spaghetti from page 1A

Michigan University in Marquette. He said it started while he was DJing an event. “One night, I was out flopping around, trying to motivate people to get out there and have some fun, and the kids out there started calling me Spaghetti Man,” Alsobrooks said. “Ironically, it started out that Spaghetti Man was an insult. But within weeks, the local college bands asked me to join up with them. It became a term of affection.” When Alsobrooks moved to metro Detroit in 1996, he was “just bouncing around in the clubs” when a local radio station started plugging him. “All the sudden, I found myself a little bit of a local celebrity,” he said. Even the Sterling Heights City Council has recognized Alsobrooks’ community presence. He earned a Sterling Heights Nice Neighbor award in 2016.

A need to keep on moving

But recently, King said she and some other Music in the Park attendees didn’t see Alsobrooks during the first couple of weeks of the Sterling Heights summer concert se-

ries. She said that at one point, she and others started wondering if he had fallen ill. She was able to approach Alsobrooks recently and see if he was OK. She found out it was a matter of lacking reliable transportation. “He is struggling and has never asked anyone for help,” she said in an email. Alsobrooks told the Sentry that he has had car troubles and other issues in the last year and a half, and that has sometimes hindered his ability to attend concerts and dance. “It’s been one thing after another, with my car, it’s getting up there in years,” he said, adding that it’s a 2009 vehicle. “It cost me three times between paychecks. I had to actually take out these loans just for a while there. I couldn’t attend because of budget and car issues.” But Alsobrooks said he has been seen attending more Sterling Heights concerts lately. “Actually, the car I use is back up running. It runs, just not great,” Alsobrooks said. “For years, I just got in the habit of riding my bike to anything that’s in 10 miles. This year, because there’s so much construction everywhere, I have to use the car.” King said she would love to see the community rally around Spaghetti Man to

get him more reliable transportation. “I’m not looking to get him a new vehicle or anything, but something dependable to get him to and from so he can continue to share what I think we all need in this world: pure silliness and joy,” she said. “And for those few hours at each community event, a feeling of unity.” King said she’d like to get a fundraising campaign going for him or get an auto dealership involved. She said that while she doesn’t know how to organize such a campaign, she hopes someone out there will take a leadership role, adding that she would participate in any way that she could. “I want to find a way to help him with the transportation issue: a GoFundMe page, a (service) like Venmo — some way to assist him,” she said. “Once we reach out to the public, everyone wants to do something for him. We just have to let people know this is a need.” Alsobrooks responded to King’s idea of helping him get a more dependable ride. “It’s humbling and it’s cool,” he said. “Also, this car, as crappy as it runs, it’s what I deliver papers with. And if the thing goes down permanently, I lose that income.” King said she hopes the public will support Spaghetti Man for his years of fostering a spirit of community.

“In this world of division and negativity, here is a man that has been focusing on joy and happiness,” she said. “Our community and the world as a whole needs more of what this man is offering — pure joy and happiness. We all need to let loose and just enjoy the music and dance and come together at these times.”

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.
