Fouts files federal lawsuit, wants back in mayoral race WARREN MAYOR SUES CITY COUNCIL, CLAIMS CONSTITUTIONAL AND CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com
WARREN — Mayor James Fouts is taking his legal fight with the City Council to federal court. Alleging his constitutional and civil rights were violated when he was removed from the ballot for the upcoming Warren mayoral primary election, Fouts is now seeking to be on the ballot for what would have to be a special election in the weeks to come. The four-term mayor was joined by his legal team at the Andiamo Celebrity Showroom Aug. 2 to announce the lawsuit, filed on his behalf in U.S. District Court against the Warren City Council, the Warren Election Commission, and Warren City Clerk Sonja Buffa and Macomb County Clerk Anthony Forlini in their official capacities. Flanked by his attorney, Nabih Ayad of Ayad Law, P.L.L.C., and a group of political supporters, Fouts stood at the lectern as Ayad addressed the four-count complaint alleging violations of Fouts’ constitutional rights that led to civil rights violations. According to the complaint, Fouts’ civil rights were violated under the U.S. Constitution: specifically, the First Amendment, the Fifth Amendment and the 14th Amendment. A fourth count seeks a declaratory judgment. Count I, according to the complaint, alleges that Fouts’ First Amendment rights were violated when he was taken off the 2023 ballot. “The ultimate expression of one’s political speech is

WARREN — Fifteen-year-old Alex Deherder is a true optimist. His motto is, “Be hopeful. There is always hope even in bad spots or places. Even if you can’t see it, you can believe it.” So when it came time to add a personal quote to the Zen garden he made in the Building Bridges summer school program, he chose, “I am hopeful.” The L’Anse Creuse High School student was among 40 ninth through 12th grade students with special needs who participated in the program held at Warren Woods Tower High School. The three-week program ran July 10-27, and was coordinated through the Macomb Intermediate School District. Sessions were held from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. The students came from various Macomb County schools, attending class under the guidance of teachers, social workers and speech pathologists. “It was fun. I made friends quite fast,” Deherder said. “I drew a lot. I sang karaoke. There’s just so many feelings when I sing.” The Building Bridges summer camp was held in partnership with the Make it Work program. Make It Work collaborates with Michigan Rehabilitation services, Michigan Works, and Warren Woods Public See STUDENTS on page 23A

WARREN — The Warren Concert Band has three performances this month at various venues around metropolitan Detroit. All the performances start at 7 p.m. On Aug. 9, the band performs at Belle Isle. On Aug. 15, the concert is at the First United Methodist Church of Warren. On Aug. 16, there is a show in front of City Hall at Warren City Square. All the performances are free, but according to the band’s director, Jeremy Duby, attendees will need a state park pass to get into the park at Belle Isle. The all-volunteer team of about 65 musicians will perform a good selection of John Philip Sousa marches including “El Capitan,” “On the Campus,” and “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” among others. The band will celebrate the 100th anniversary of “On the Mall,” a celebrated march by Edwin Franko Goldman. In addition, the band will perform patriotic tunes in honor of our veterans, and some George Gershwin medleys. The Warren Concert Band was established in 1972 and in its 51-year history has had three musical directors: Thomas Carey, See BAND on page 23A

PHOTO COLLECTION CHRONICLES THE MUSIC SCENE BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — In one photo, Elton John — at the piano in his signature glitter ’70s glasses — serenades the audience. In another picture, a leather-clad, spiky-haired Billy Idol rebel yells before the crowd. The images are among the 70 black-and-white pictures, from noted music photographer Larry Hulst, currently on display at the Lorenzo Cultural Center. Music fans can check out the exhibit “Front Row Center: Icons of Rock, Blues and Soul” from now until Sept. 27. Hulst’s collection includes the Grateful Dead, Chuck Berry, Eric Clapton, B.B. King and many more. “The hallmark of his work is his ability to evoke the raw energy and emotion of the concert experience,” a Lorenzo Cultural Center press release stated. The Lorenzo Cultural Center is located on the campus of the Macomb Community College Center Campus, 44575 Garfield Road. “Front Row Center” is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and on select Saturdays: Sept. 9, Sept. 16 and Sept. 23. There is no cost to attend. “The photo exhibit brings the world of rock, blues and soul to our door and takes our patrons to the lights and excitement of the live music scene from 1970 through 1999,” William Wood, director, MCC Cultural Affairs and Community Engagement, said in a prepared statement. “The stunning photography by Larry Hulst captures the high energy and enthusiasm of some of our greatest performers from Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix to David Bowie and Lauryn Hill.” Since the 1960s, Hulst has photographed famous rock bands, blues legends and soul artists as they performed live on stage. Over the years, his work has been so well received that magazines and record companies have tapped into his talents. One photo of blues great Muddy Waters taken in March 1973 was featured in a Rolling See PHOTOS on page 9A

Warren youth chosen for Student Leaders internship
WARREN/DETROIT — Sammi Samim, of Warren, was one of five metro Detroit high school students chosen to participate in the Bank of America Student Leaders program. The nationwide program provides students with paid summer internships. They work eight weeks for a nonprofit organization in their local communities. Samim, along with four other 2023 high school graduates, will earn wages as they develop leadership and civic engagement skills with Detroit nonprofit Focus: HOPE. The organization provides supplemental food distribution, technical training programs, early learning, a community arts program, and community and economic development programs. Samim is a graduate of Hamtramck High School where she was a youth ambassador for her school’s Leaders of Environment Awareness Samim or Preservation (LEAP) club and organized a charity drive for flood victims in Bangladesh. Samim was the co-founder and president of the school’s Social Justice Club and president of the Student Council. She will attend Harvard University this fall. — Maria Allard

BEING PREPARED CAN SAVE LIVES The Warren Community Emergency Response
Team, often referred to as CERT, will host a Community Safety and Preparedness Day from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 20, at the Warren Civic Center South, on Van Dyke Avenue north of Nine Mile Road. CERT, along with other agencies, will offer hands-on disaster preparedness, first aid/CPR/AED instruction, stop the bleed demonstrations, radio communications instruction, NARCAN (naloxone) training and more. The sessions are free to the public and held outdoors. “We are here to offer information and resources to the community, allowing them to get a better understanding on what it takes to be prepared,” Warren CERT Director Mike Riley said. “Living in Michigan, you might wonder why this is important. While we don’t get the scale of disasters some other states do like wildfires, floods, and earthquakes, we have our share of disasters that a little preparedness goes a long way.” The training will allow the community to interact with CERT members and learn about disaster preparedness. “Most of the time we are too busy when deployed,” said Warren CERT Deputy Director Mike Rose. “This event will allow the public to ask questions, and better understand what this all-volunteer team’s mission is, and what exactly we do.” The event will also give those interested in joining the team the chance to ask questions and complete an application. For more information about the event, email the team at cspdinfo@warrencert.org or follow Warren CERT’s Facebook page for updates.
WARREN — Warren’s Birthday Bash will be celebrated Aug. 24 to Aug. 26 at City Square on Van Dyke Avenue, north of 12 Mile Road, with live entertainment, fireworks, carnival rides, food trucks, a beer tent and more.

If you like to wet your whistle, stop by the many food trucks with tasty libations ranging from healthy juices at Beyond Juicery + Eatery, to frozen treats at The Frozen Spoon. For those 21 and older, the Warren Kiwanis Club’s beer tent may be a destination. Complement that cold drink with a savory treat from Detroit Wing Co. Other food vendors scheduled to be in attendance are Vivio’s, Big Boy, Fun Food Express, Lindsey Concessions and more. If dancing to great music always tops the list, you may like one of the many bands performing that range from country or pop to retro bands with the look and sound from the 1960s. All the performances are free. The performance schedule is as follows: • Thursday, Aug. 24: The Jacki Daniels Show (5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.), Alan Turner and the Steel Horse Band (7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.) • Friday, Aug. 25: The Oneders (5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.), The Look (8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.) • Saturday, Aug. 26: The Polish Muslims (2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.), Chuck King Magic Show (4 p.m.), The Phoenix Theory band (6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.), Chuck King Hypnosis Show (8:30 p.m.), Sponge (9:30 p.m. to 11 p.m.)

Polish Day Parade planned for Aug. 26
WARREN — The Polish Day Parade has been a tradition for decades. It started in the 1930s and was on Belle Isle for a while, and also in downtown Detroit and Hamtramck. For the second year, the parade will be held in Warren on Aug. 26. The Polish Day Parade will step off at 4 p.m. and will march west down Common Road from Hoover Road to a reviewing stand in front of the Christopher M. Wouters Warren Police Headquarters. “We encourage people to come and watch the parade, either along Common Road, there’ll be some bleachers there, or right by City Hall, where the Birthday Bash is going to be,” said Judge John Chmura of the 37th District Court, chairman of the Polish Day Parade Committee. The parade is organized under the Polish American Congress Michigan Division. The theme for this year’s parade is mathematician and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, who was born in Poland in 1473. The grand marshal is Vinnie Dombroski, lead vocalist of the rock band Sponge. “He’s going to be performing later that day at the Birthday Bash,” Chmura said.

Tri-county home invasion suspects charged with felonies WARREN — Two suspects who allegedly burglarized homes in Warren and others in Macomb, Wayne and Oakland counties are now in police custody facing felony charges. Antonio Barry, 42, of Clinton Township, and James Long, 29, of Detroit, were arraigned on July 28 in the 37th District Court in Warren. The defendants were arrested on July 27 after Warren Police Department Special Operations Unit officers reportedly observed the pair commit a home invasion in Dearborn. The investigation showed that both suspects would dress as contractors, wear construction vests and knock on doors to determine if the occupants were home, according to a Warren Police Department press release. According to the release, Warren police began to investigate a residential burglary on July 6 in the Panama Street and Toepfer
Road area. According to police, the Detective Bureau and the Special Operations Unit identified the alleged suspects as Barry and Long. Police said the two were also responsible for residential burglaries in Hazel Park and Clinton Township and they connected the pair with two residential burglaries in Warren. Police reportedly recovered watches, jewelry and electronics worth several thousands of dollars from area pawn shops, all of which were allegedly pawned by Barry and Long after the break-in. Barry and Long were each arraigned on three counts of home invasion in the second degree, a 15-year felony per count. They are expected to face additional charges in other jurisdictions where they have allegedly committed crimes. “This case shows how suspects who commit crimes in Warren are often responsible for crimes in other cities,” said Warren Police Chief William Dwyer. The total bond for each defendant was

Stone magazine issue that year celebrating Waters’ birthday. Another shot of Hendrix performing at the Golden Raceway in Sacramento, California, in 1970 was used on Hendrix’s compilation album “South Saturn Delta,” released in 1997, many years after the guitar legend died. Hulst began taking photos of his favorite bands after serving in the U.S. Navy as a corpsman during the Vietnam era. In the early days of capturing live music, Hulst didn’t bother to obtain press credentials. He would just hang with the other fans and take snapshots. “I didn’t know anything about access. I would just buy a ticket. The shows were very cheap. You could see three bands for $6,” he said. “I was a fan first and then I had a camera with me. I started out only shooting for myself.” Hulst’s photography career began before the digital age, and a roll of film would last a long time. “During the first 10 years, a lot of times, I’d have a roll of film or two with three or four bands on it,” said Hulst, of Colorado Springs. And he always preferred black-andwhite photography as opposed to color. One reason: It was less expensive. Hulst also appreciates the simplicity of black-andwhite photos. “Color photographs are busy,” he said. “Black, white and gray makes it simple.” In 1973, Hulst began selling his photographs to the public. He set up shop in front of a Tower Records store in Sacramento, California. He made $3 each for every photo he sold. “I put a blanket out. I’d have 100 pictures by artists on the ground,” the pho-
tographer said. “The artist that made me money was always Led Zeppelin.” Hulst hopes the Lorenzo exhibit will give people a chance to reminisce about the concerts they’ve attended themselves. Rolling Stones fanatics, for example, will appreciate an image of guitarist Keith Richards jamming at University Stadium in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 1997. At another time, Hulst caught Pete Townsend’s jump moves on stage at the Who’s March 27, 1976, show at Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. “It’s always memories (of fans) who say, ‘I was at that venue,’ or ‘I was at that show,’” Hulst said. “I caught history, basically. (Artists) come and go. They’re only here for a certain period of time.” Sadly, some artists Hulst captured on stage are no longer with us. There’s a closeup shot of INXS singer Michael Hutchence at Arnold Hall, U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs in 1997, taken just four months before he died. It will be 1975 all over again for Lynyrd Skynyrd fans with a photo of singer Ronnie Van Zant — at the microphone in a cowboy hat — performing at Winterland Ballroom. Decades after he began taking pictures, Hulst’s work is still in demand. “I just had a phone call from Rhino Records about an unreleased Doors album,” he said. “I shot them in San Diego. I got a phone call that they’re using (the photo.) I didn’t think this is something I’d be doing at 76 years old.” Call Staff Writer Maria Allard at (586) 498-1045.

their voting and/or running for political office,” the complaint stated. According to the complaint, the defendants were responsible for either participating in an unlawful lawsuit and/or removing Fouts from the 2023 ballot, or not certifying the ballot with him on it. All of the defendants were named in each count. Count II, according to the complaint, alleges a Fifth Amendment violation of Fouts’ right to be free from imposition of a legal disability without due process of law. In 2020, Warren voters approved a proposal for term limits that reduced the mayor’s term limits to the greater of three terms or 12 years to reflect the term limits of the other elected officials in Warren. In 2016, voters approved a five-term limit or 20 years for the mayor only. According to Ayad, the 2016 proposal and amendment to the charter clearly addressed retroactivity as to what years served prior would be counted and when the term limits would go into effect. The 2020 proposal did not address retroactivity and could not be interpreted as such. “There is no retroactive default,” Ayad said. When statutes do not clearly state retroactivity language, then it is to be interpreted prospectively, which means from this point forward, he argued. Count III alleges a violation of the 14th Amendment and Fouts’ right to equal protection under the law. Again, retroactivity is at issue, according to Fouts’ legal team, having retroactivity clearly addressed in one proposal that was voted on by Warren residents in 2016, and no mention of retroactivity in the 2020 ballot proposal or in the amended charter. The fact that it was applied by the court as if it were addressed is a violation of Fouts’ constitutional rights, according to the complaint. Court IV seeks a declaratory judgment, according to the complaint, to avoid irreparable harm to the plaintiff, Fouts, and to

stop the alleged continued violation of his rights. “We are looking for the mayor to (be) put on (the ballot in) a special election for the primary,” Ayad said. “We still have some time for the November general election. We are not asking for the general election to be disturbed.” The primary election was scheduled for Aug. 8, after the Warren Weekly went to press. Absentee ballots were mailed weeks ago, and many were already returned before the lawsuit was filed. The top two votegetters for each city office, including mayor, will be on the ballot for the general election on Nov. 7. “This special election would only be for mayoral candidates and be around midSeptember,” Ayad said. “This would give the mayor time to put the advertising, billboards, and signage in place. And to (let the people) know that this mayor is on board, and we are giving him his fair and constitutional right to run for office.” Fouts’ team addressed what it would like to see done with the ballots that have already been returned. “We are asking that those ballots be held until the special election runs,” Ayad said. “They would have to revote, with the ability to vote for Mayor Fouts, in a special election. This happens across the country.” Ayad said time is of the essence and that he would file for an expedited hearing on this complaint. Fouts is seeking monetary damages. “When you are a mayor for 16 years and you have the expectation you are going to run for another four years, you have to endure that you are going to be without a job come November,” Ayad said. “I think those individuals responsible should pay. At least the law says, those individuals responsible should pay,” Ayad said. The monetary damages Fouts is seeking were not enumerated at the press conference. “We’re going to let the courts decide that,” Ayad said. It has been more than three months

since the Michigan Supreme Court decided not to hear the Michigan Court of Appeals case that ordered Fouts off the ballot, and Ayad addressed why the mayor’s case is moving forward now. According to Ayad, his team was able to research the issue and found that the mayor was wronged on many different levels and that there is a remedy for that. The mayor was just recently able to find and retain Ayad as legal counsel. Warren City Council President Patrick Green responded to the mayor’s lawsuit. Green was one of six candidates on the ballot for Warren’s mayoral primary. “I will instruct our attorneys to seek sanctions and costs for this last-minute frivolous lawsuit that is designed to suppress voter participation in next week’s election,” Green said in a statement released Aug. 1. “By suing the city council, the mayor is again increasing litigation costs for the taxpayers rather than simply follow the plain language of our city charter.” In previous interviews, Fouts said he would continue to be an advocate for the city of Warren once he is out of office. He even endorsed a candidate for mayor: George Dimas.
Fouts is now throwing his proverbial hat back in the ring in part due to what he called the “overwhelming support” from Warren residents. “People are constantly calling me up. I’m running into people when I’m jogging, wherever I am. They’re saying, ‘Why aren’t you on the ballot? I want to write you in,’” Fouts said. “I say, ‘You can’t write me in.’ (They say), ‘Well, do something about it.’ So I’ve had overwhelming feedback, support from average Warren residents, who’ve said, ‘I want to vote for you. What can you do?’” Fouts said. “So that is part of the reason I am doing this. I did not expect that, and I am appreciative of the overwhelming support.” When asked about Fouts’ attempt to get back on the ballot, Dimas said, “He has every right to challenge the unfair decision by the Court of Appeals.” “And I think he has every right to take it one step further in the federal courts to try to get himself on the ballot in 2023,” Dimas said. “I think he has a right to represent the people who support him so vigorously.” Although Fouts was surrounded by many of his supporters inside the press conference, outside marched longtime Warren resident Lori Harris with a sign that read, “Out with Fouts.” Call Staff Writer Gena Johnson at (586) 498-1069.

BY BRENDAN LOSINSKI • blosinski@candgnews.com With Ron French, Bridge Michigan METRO DETROIT — Police controversies, recent retirements and less robust retirement plans are causing a reduction in those entering the law enforcement field — and some departments are struggling to prevent this from affecting their communities. Worker shortages are common across many fields in Michigan. With a current unemployment rate of 3.6% — the lowest in the state in 23 years — private businesses and public agencies alike are having trouble finding qualified job candidates, yet law enforcement has been particularly affected. Police departments across Michigan are struggling to fill positions, with the number of law enforcement officers statewide shrinking more than 4,500 since 2001, which is a decline of 19%. Recruitment is down about 900 in just the past three years. Law enforcement officials pointed to several reasons why these shortages are now occurring. “In the old days, police and fire departments had pensions,” said Oakland County
Sheriff Michael Bouchard. “There were bad hours and pay might not be great, but they knew there was a good retirement opportunity at the end.” “We’ve seen an increase in retirements the last few years,” added Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham. “Ours were mainly due to having hired a lot of staff between 1986 and 1988, when the tower of the jail was opened. All of those department members who were hired then have been eligible for retirement in recent years. We have had an increase of individuals who start here and then go to other departments or other jobs. We also have had an increase in requests for services for our contracted communities.” Bouchard said the Oakland County Sheriff ’s Office hired more than a hundred officers in the last year, but that they are still short by about 65 people. The Macomb County Sheriff ’s Department said that it had 40 of its 230 deputy positions open recently, but a recruiting class has recently dropped the shortfall to about 20. See POLICE on page 25A

Warren police seize drugs, guns BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com
WARREN — On July 13, the Warren Police Department’s Special Investigation Narcotics unit seized 2 kilograms of fentanyl, 1 kilogram of methamphetamine and approximately 3,500 methamphetamine pills from the Roseville home of a 23-year-old suspect, after receiving an anonymous tip. According to police, small amounts of cocaine and heroin were also found in addition to a narcotic pill press and four firearms, one modified with a fully automatic switch intact. All of the items were taken from the residence and were placed into police custody. The alleged suspect was arrested without incident and transported to the Warren Police Department jail, police said. Investigators positively identified the alleged narcotics seller and learned he was a convicted felon who is currently on felony probation for various drug crimes in Macomb County, police said in a press release.

set at $350,000. “I am thankful that the judge set an appropriate bond in this case,” said Dwyer. “These two suspects have lengthy criminal histories and should not be on the streets.” Barry was also charged with two counts of possession of ammunition by a felon. That charge is a five-year felony. Long’s attorney of record is Joan Eller-
Police are finalizing the investigation and will be in contact with local and federal prosecutors to determine if this suspect will be charged in state or federal court, according to the release. “Our SID (Special Investigation Narcotics) unit actively follows up on information and tips regarding narcotics sellers in Warren and Macomb County. In this particular case, investigators started with one piece of information and turned it into a multikilo seizure. The DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) has said that one kilogram of fentanyl can kill up to 500,000 people,” Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer said in the release. “Thanks to the efforts of the SID unit, a large amount of deadly fentanyl and illegal weapons are off the streets. I am confident that this suspect will be facing some serious charges based on this investigation, possibly in the federal court system.” According to police, the case is ongoing and no further information about the suspect was released.

METRO DETROIT — Many years ago, when their kids were younger, Bill and Robin Heller were out with the family at Greenfield Village, in Dearborn, for the Old Car Festival. The annual event gives antique car owners — from across the country — the opportunity to display their vehicles and drive around the property. “We were walking past this one area,” Bill said. “There was an elderly couple, sitting in their lawn chairs, underneath this big, beautiful oak tree. They both had books in their hands and they were sound asleep. It looked so peaceful.” That image was one of the reasons Bill and Robin became interested in antique cars. The Grosse Pointe Farms couple owns two vintage vehicles: a 1930 Hupmobile Cabriolet, which is the one that Bill drives, and Robin’s 1918 Detroit Electric built by the Anderson Electric Car Co. Bill’s desire to drive a Hupmobile also stems from his upbringing. “My dad, being a journeyman and tool and die maker, fixed everything around our house. He had a workshop down in the basement,” Bill said. “Being the eldest son, it was my responsibility to stand there and watch him. There was a picture of him in his Hupmobile when he was a young man. It was the first car he was able to buy.” When it came time for his parents to move out of Bill’s childhood home and into a condominium, his dad was going to toss out the photo of him in the Hupmobile, but Bill stopped him. “I want this picture,” he told his dad. “I stared at it all those years while all my friends were out playing. So when we got interested in cars, Robin enrolled me in the Hupmobile Club.” Bill’s Hupmobile is the same model his dad owned but with some different features. Bill found the car after his father died. “It’s the only convertible I’ve ever had. It’s reminiscent for me of my dad,” Bill said. “When the top is down, you get the wind in your hair. It’s unique. It’s different. It’s fun.” The Hellers are members of the Antique Electric Club, which is part of the Antique Automobile Club of America based in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Both the Hupmobile and the Detroit Electric have been displayed at various events, including the Old Car Festival in Greenfield Village, the Concours See ANTIQUE on page 24A

Douglas Bianchi and Jeremy Duby, who has been with the band since 2011. “The band has been outstanding in its entire history,” Duby said. “I feel that under my direction, we have done a lot of great things. Most recently, we performed at Detroit Orchestra Hall for the celebration of our 50th anniversary, which was a pinnacle performance for the ensemble.” The band has also incorporated Warren schools in their performances. “Over the last few years, we’ve implemented a side-by-side honor band where we are able to work with and showcase some of the finest music students from the Warren schools,” Duby said. Bob Rourke, of Troy, has been with the band for 32 years and has been playing the clarinets since he was 8 years old. After graduating from Redford High School in Detroit in the early 1950s where he played in the band, he went into the service, had a tour in Ger-
many and then worked at Burroughs Corp. After being away from the clarinet for a while, a friend who played with the Warren Concert Band encouraged him to join. “I did (join). I went back and took my lessons for about a year and got up to speed,” said Rourke. “You get better, and better, and better as the years go by. It’s amazing,” he said. Rourke joined the group in the 19891990 season and enjoys being with the group. “Once I joined the Warren Concert Band, it was so fun and so many great people in it. Everyone is happy, playing, and enjoying the music together,” said Rourke. “Jeremy (Duby) came along, and he just makes everything so wonderful. Everybody in the band loves him. Such a great director.” Rourke also likes the diversity of the group. “In the Warren Concert Band, it has every kind of person you can imagine,” said Rourke. “Some are former teachers, some are students. It has every age.” Rourke will turn 90 in October and attributes playing the clarinet to his strong
breathing. “I swear it (playing the clarinet) has something to do with your breathing because you’re always breathing strong,” said Rourke. “I go to the doctor, and I am doing pretty nicely.” For Warren residents, Duby said the Warren Concert Band is “a diamond in their
backyard.” “It is an outstanding ensemble that plays at the highest musical abilities while providing a vast amount of musical entertainment for our audiences,” he said. For more information about the Warren Concert Band and its performances, visit warrenconcertband.com. FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED

The 40 students in the Building Bridges program made Zen gardens, which included a personal quote to describe themselves. invited to a showcase to view the students’ artwork. They also stopped by the cafeteria to munch on appetizers and desserts made by the students with assistance from Warren Woods Tower culinary arts teacher Suzanne Smith. Warren Woods Tower student Liliana Kostadinovski, 17, brought her younger sister Violet Kostadinovski, 11, and mom Coco Kostadinovski to the showcase July 26. “I think it’s awesome,” Coco Kostadinovski said. “It definitely empowers her, and it lets the students know there’s really no limit to what they can do.” For Liliana Kostadinovski, the camp was a chance to reconnect with old friends and meet new people. “I learned and had fun,” she said.

Schools to provide opportunities to students. For the last six years, Make It Work has partnered with Building Bridges. “This is to teach them social skills, interpersonal skills and to develop friendships over time,” said Michele Morgan, occupational therapist/transition coordinator at Warren Woods Tower and Enterprise High School. During the summer session, the campers got in touch with their creative sides by making two pieces of art: personalized Zen gardens and melted crayon art. The students used a variety of machines and materials available in the school’s occupational lab. For the Zen gardens, they were able to engrave positive self-statements onto mini wooden boardwalks. They also incorporated 3D-printed garden rakes and LED campfire tea lights. Taking it one step further, the students colored the sand. Another component of the program was attending field trips. The campers let the good times roll at the Great Skate in Roseville, enjoyed “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” at a local movie theater, bonded playing whirlyball and participated in a scavenger hunt with therapy dogs at The Mall at Partridge Creek in Clinton Township. “We also did a tour of Macomb Community College,” said Morgan, which got positive feedback. “They really liked the tour.” On July 26, the students’ families were

d’Elegance in Grosse Pointe Farms, and the EyesOn Design at the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores. During the weekend of July 28-30, Bill and Robin displayed the 1918 Detroit Electric in the “EVs: Then and Now” exhibit at the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant Museum, located at 461 Piquette Ave. in Detroit. This year’s Old Car Festival at Greenfield Village is set for Sept. 9-10. For more information, visit thehenryford.org.
‘It can feel like a living room’
Robin and Bill both have researched the history of the Detroit Electric. “As modes of transportation were shift-
ing away from the horse, they opted more towards electric,” Robin said. Vehicles at the time also were powered by steam or gasoline. “The Detroit Electric was very popular,” Robin said. “It’s a unique kind of thing to drive. It’s very easy to stop and start. There is no cranking. The design of it is almost like a carriage. It’s almost a Cinderella kind of feeling because you’re up high.” The window area of the 1918 model is known as the “greenhouse.” “The doors go up to a certain level, and then you’ve got windows that go above it. So you got your side windows and your windshield. That’s called the ‘greenhouse,’” Robin said. “The visibility is great. You can see all around.” The vehicle’s interior is referred to as “parlor seating.”

was a natural at using the tillers. The 1918 Detroit Electric can drive as fast as 22 mph. There are no blinkers, so Robin uses hand signals when turning left or right. The Hellers make sure to charge the car on a regular basis. “Nowadays, we carry our own charger with us,” Bill said. “It’s built into the car. If you deplete the battery, it takes about eight hours to charge.” Robin likes to ride around the Grosse Pointes and in rural areas with the Detroit Electric. It often draws attention from other drivers, as was the case when she recently took it for a drive over to a friend’s house. While stopped at a red light, the driver next to her wanted to know what kind of car she was driving. “A Detroit Electric,” she told him a couple of times before the light turned green.

“The driver actually drives from the back seat. You’ve got a friend sitting next to you. In front, I’ve got one chair that swings around so that it can face you on the passenger side,” Robin said. “Directly in front of me is a small jump seat. You can have four people comfortably sitting in there, all facing each other talking. That’s the parlor aspect of it. It can feel like a living room.” Because it’s electric, there is no gas pedal. Instead of a steering wheel, tillers are used to maneuver the car. A tiller provides leverage in the form of torque to turn the device that changes the direction of the vehicle. “There’s a tiller for steering where I push to the left to go left or I would pull towards me to go right,” Robin said. “There’s a second one that is shorter that is used for the throttle. Those are my five speeds.” With her sailing background, Robin

Police from page 12A
Both said that one of the key issues is the perception of law enforcement and how this is causing many to not go into law enforcement as a career. High profile controversies, such as the death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers, has lowered the opinion of law enforcement in the eyes of a significant number of people. “The perception of police on the national stage also has been horrible. Any officer who has acted inappropriately should, obviously, be held accountable, but this is a small number of officers, but that impression has washed over all officers. People are asking why they would want to go into a field where they would have to deal with this perception,” said Bouchard. “I see it similar to the Vietnam vets, who came home after serving and were demonized. I have seen businesses and restaurants that refuse to serve cops. … I want people to know that the person who hates a bad cop the most is a good cop.” “Some of the factors I believe are responsible have to do with the negative press regarding law enforcement,” Wickersham agreed. “There are also a lot of jobs in the
private sector where people can make more money. The work-from-home component is very popular with the younger generation. The job itself has danger and liability.” Bouchard thinks one of the reasons law enforcement is so acutely affected by recruitment shortages is that a police department cannot reduce the area it is responsible for policing. “If you can’t hire enough servers at a restaurant, you can close that area of the restaurant or that location,” he explained. “Police departments can never not patrol part of the community. We have to work double shifts, and it has been like this for years. This creates very strong potential for burnout, which causes people to quit, which exacerbates the problem.” Bouchard went on to say that while some communities aren’t seeing the effects of this officer shortage, other communities are seeing very real effects, ranging from fewer school resource officers to fewer detectives being available to investigate major crimes. “The community hasn’t seen a lot of effects because we are filling the gaps with double shifts and people working overtime and stretching ourselves thin,” he said. He added that some Oakland County communities haven’t been affected, “but a lot of places, especially in larger cities, are seeing the largest crime increase in decades. Some cities are see-
aste T
own T
ing unchecked violence because there simply aren’t enough police officers out there.” Wickersham agreed, saying that he has seen many departments suffering from significant burnout. Additional overtime also adds up and can increase a department’s budget. “Even when you have shortages, you have a lot of forced overtime,” he said. “When people take a sick day or have a training day, you have to move someone over from another shift. Doing that too often leads to burnout. Some people want the overtime, but when it happens too often, people just can’t handle it.” In 2022, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced $30 million in grants to help departments pay for police academy recruits, and in April, the Legislature passed a bill that allows departments to recoup all or some training costs from recruits if they leave for another department within four years. The U.S. Senate recently unanimously passed bipartisan legislation authored by Michigan Sen. Gary Peters that aims to strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve by incentivizing recruits to work in the communities where they live. “The Strong Communities Act” would provide federal grants for local law enforcement recruits who agree to attend school or academy and then serve
in a law enforcement agency in their respective communities. Both sheriffs said that numerous departments are now stepping up their efforts to recruit new officers through measures such as community outreach, paying for training and signing bonuses. Yet both said that the process of refilling their numbers is a slow one and that there is no telling how these shortages will continue to affect communities in the meantime. “You’ve got to go out into the community and engage with residents. Talk with people, talk with kids and give them insight into what you get out of the job,” said Wickersham. “Like any job, there will be days you will have bad days, but there are a lot of rewarding aspects to it too. We particularly want to get into the high schools and job fairs. We have a recruiting team doing that right now. We are paying for training, in a lot of cases. Some departments are using signing bonuses, but we have not done that.” Bouchard said they are expanding their outreach. “We worked with the county to create incentives like signing bonuses,” Bouchard said. “We are doing everything we can to fill those holes because we have no other choice. Failure is not an option.” Call Staff Writer Brendan Losinski at (586) 498-1068.

EE W E H T F O E CRIM • K E E W E H OF T E M I R C • K E WE Motorist pulled over for driving with no front tires
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 11 p.m. July 2, an officer in the area of Mound and West Utica roads observed a vehicle traveling in the roadway without both front tires, causing a great deal of sparks on the roadway. The vehicle was being driven on its two front rims. The officer initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle. After talking to the driver, the officer asked him to take field sobriety tests; he agreed. After completing the tests, the driver was offered a preliminary breath test, and the results were 0.145% blood alcohol content. The driver was then placed under arrest for operating while intoxicated and transported to the Police Department.
Firearms stolen during break-in
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Officers were dispatched to the 49000 block of Downing Court, near 22 Mile and Schoenherr roads, for a breaking and entering report at 6:45 a.m. June 30. Upon arrival, officers saw that the back window of the residence was open and its screen was bent. The caller stated that he observed the residence had been broken into when he came to do some work on it during the morning. Several items were missing from the residence, police said, including firearms. An evidence technician was called to the scene to gather and collect evidence. The case was turned over to the detective bureau for further investigation.
Facebook Marketplace sale goes wrong
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Shelby Township police officers were dispatched to the 56000 block of Pinecone Boulevard, near 26 Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue, for a larceny report at 12:06 p.m. July 5. Upon arrival, officers spoke to the caller, who stated that she had sold some shoes on Facebook Marketplace. She left the shoes on her porch, and the buyer was supposed to put $95 under her doormat. The shoes were picked up, but payment wasn’t left under the doormat. The detective bureau was investigating.
Fraud reported
ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 7:23 p.m. on July 12, a report was made about fraud that occurred on the same day at noon in the 22000 block of Edmunton Street. The victim, a 62-year-old woman, came into the police station and stated that she was defrauded out of $1,305. She said she received a phone call from a person who stated they were a supervisor from DTE Energy and that she was behind on her bills. The caller stated the victim would have to pay the bills
immediately or her power would be shut off. The caller advised her to go to Dollar General and purchase three separate gift cards totaling $1,305. The victim purchased the gift cards and gave the caller the numbers on the cards. The victim later contacted DTE directly and they said she was not behind on her bill.
Police investigate garage break-in
ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 7:04 a.m. on July 11, a report was made of a burglary/forced entry that occurred between July 10 and July 11 in the 22000 block of Raymond Court. Upon arrival. an officer met with the victim, a 57-year-old man, who stated that when he let his dogs out, he noticed that his garage was open and the straps holding his ATV on his trailer were cut. He found pruners from his garage on the trailer for the ATV, and the lock on his fence to his back yard had also been removed. The window on his garage had been removed, and the motion light on the corner of the garage had been knocked down. The window had been placed on the side of the garage. The motion lights that were taken out were on the ground and it appeared the lock for the gate had been unscrewed and placed on the ground. An evidence technician took photos at the scene. The victim said he last saw everything intact at 11:45 p.m. on July 10. He stated he had listed a dirt bike for sale on Facebook Marketplace four days prior. The dirt bike was chained to another motorcycle in the garage. Another house just west had a camera and their gate was ajar as well. The officer made contact with the neighbor, a 26-year-old man, who stated he did not have access to the cameras but that his uncle might.
Electric bike theft suspect sought
GROSSE POINTE WOODS — An unknown suspect in his 40s is believed to have stolen a Trek e-bike valued at $700 from a Detroit resident the night of July 16. Police said the suspect came into a bike store in the 20300 block of Mack Avenue in Grosse Pointe Woods at around 11:45 a.m. July 17 with the electric bike, asking about its trade-in value. A store employee was concerned the bike — which had been purchased from the Woods store — might have been stolen, since the suspect couldn’t provide a charger for it. The employee contacted the actual owner of the bike, who said she had filed a police report in Detroit after discovering that someone had stolen it July 16. Police said the suspect tried to leave the store with the bike, but the employee stopped him, which led the suspect to push and verbally threaten the employee. Police said the bike’s owner came to the Public Safety Department with her receipt for the bike. The suspect is said to have left the store on foot.
