ressed in heels no less than 3 inches tall, Loretta DeLoach is not your typical 90-year-old woman.

She’d be the first person to tell you that.

Actually, she’d prefer not to mention the “big nine plus zero,” as she puts it.

Born in 1933 in Highland Park, the youngest of four, DeLoach turned “nine plus zero” Aug. 22.

She attended Highland Park High School, graduating in 1951, and then went on to complete two years of school at Detroit Business College in 1953. DeLoach worked at Michigan Bell Telephone Co. for 35 years. She is the godmother to

Southfield A&T edges Clarkston 20-17 in OAA crossover classic Southfield A&T has one of the most dynamic offenses in the state, and they’ve shown it time and time again behind the arm

of quarterback Isaiah Marshall and an offense loaded with playmakers.

So when Southfield A&T called on the offense to put one final drive together as they trailed Clarkston 17-14 with six minutes left in the fourth quarter, Southfield A&T coach

Aaron Marshall had every ounce of faith in his quarterback to get the job done.

“The moment is never too big for him,” coach Aaron Marshall said. “He always shows that poise.”

Showcasing his dual-threat ability on the

final drive, Marshall would take it himself on a 1-yard touchdown run to give Southfield A&T the 20-17 win over Clarkston Sept. 1 at Southfield A&T High School.

SOUTHFIELD — In the early hours of Friday, Sept. 1, at approximately 2:33 a.m., Southfield police were led on a 14-minute high-speed chase after responding

to a breaking and entering at Lume Cannabis Recreational Dispensary, 26760 Lahser Road.

When police arrived, they found the front door propped open with a wooden stool. The suspects fled the business in a silver Hyundai that had been reported stolen in

Royal Oak just hours before, at 6:43 p.m. Aug. 31.

Heading eastbound on Interstate 696, the suspects reached speeds of over 100 mph. During the chase, the suspects began dumping the stolen items out the window.

The chase ended on Mound

Road in Warren, where the suspects headed south in the northbound lanes. Police conducted a precision immobilization technique maneuver to stop the vehicle. Two of the four suspects fled on foot and were apprehended.

Southfield Public Library turns 20

The library embraces the role of the heart of Southfield, staff said.

BY KATHRYN PENTIUK

kpentiuk@candgnews.com

SOUTHFIELD — This month, the Southfield Public Library is celebrating 20 years at its current location.

“The library is kind of the heart of Southfield, and we gladly embrace that role,” said outreach librarian Kelly Rembert, who started just a few months after the library moved to its new building. Rembert is eager to broaden the public’s understanding of what the library has to offer at an upcoming 20th Anniversary Celebration 1-4:30 p.m. Sept. 10 at the Southfield Public Library, 26300 Evergreen Road. The event will start off with the announcement of the library card design contest winners, followed by a 1:10 p.m. performance by the Southfield High School for the Arts and Technology marching band, and remarks at 1:30 p.m. by the library board, the Friends of the Southfield Public Library and city officials.

Other activities include music by Dreams Deferred and the Chamberlin Petting Zoo at 2 p.m. The library will have an open house to

showcase all that they have to offer, including new technology demonstrations, library tours, music, special story times and events, a selfie station and the Kona Ice Truck.

Rembert recalls that the library was once housed in City Hall, but they began to outgrow the space, which led to the relocation to the modern building lined with glass windows, allowing readers a sunlit reading experience and the library to further its services.

During her time with the library, one of her favorite aspects of the job is the community atmosphere that lends to lifelong connections and helping others, she said.

Rembert stated that the library wouldn’t be able to offer the community the same quality experience if not for its nonprofit arm, the Friends of the Southfield Public Library. The Friends are a group of volunteers who are passionate about library services and fundraise on behalf of the library to provide the community with more opportunities.

Mark Wahlberg and Jay Feldman host celebrityfilled event for Children’s Miracle Network

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

DETROIT — It was impossible to dream up better weather conditions Aug. 28 as renowned actor Mark Wahlberg and Feldman Automotive Group owner and CEO Jay Feldman held their third annual Feldman Automotive Children’s Miracle Celebrity Invitational at Detroit Golf Club.

While the sun radiated over the golf course, light also was once again shining on the Children’s Miracle Network at Beaumont Children’s and the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation.

“Giving back is always a good feeling, and that’s what you’re supposed to be doing,” Wahlberg said. “If you’re fortunate enough to have, it’s important to give back. It’s through giving that you receive more blessings, so we want to help as much as we can in as many different areas as possible.”

Along with Wahlberg and Feldman, Detroit was the hot spot for national and local celebrities last week as over 60 celebrities and athletes took part in the event, which set a goal of $1.5 million. The event, which has raised over $1 million the past two years, raised See GOLF on page 9A

bers that during her childhood in New Orleans, the library was always her safe place.

She stated that when she’d take her children out of town, rather than visiting malls, she’d take them to the local library. Haynes joined the Friends in 2005, when she was homeschooling her children and spending more time at the library. During her time on the board, Haynes has loved watching the library grow and become a “community hub” with the installation of the Boy and Bear sculpture by Marshall M. Fredericks from Northland Center and the architecture awards that the library has won.

Haynes emphasized the important role that the library plays in the community.

“Just the idea of having something for the family in Southfield that we can do in our city that supports our families and supports our community. That’s the biggest thing,” she said.

The library’s upcoming celebration of its 20th anniversary is free and open to the public. For more information, visit https:// southfieldlibrary.org.

Arrests from page 3A

Southfield police said the four suspects may also be responsible for several recent marijuana dispensary break-ins in Center Line and similar crimes committed in neighboring cities.

“Right now, southeast Michigan, we do have an issue with stolen cars,” Southfield Police Chief Elvin Barren said. “We do have an issue with these smash-and-grabs. This is the first one recently in Southfield, and with this arrest, we send the message: When you come to our city, think twice, because our officers will pursue you when it’s safe to do so.

And we will exercise our proper procedures.

And we’ll use that PIT maneuver to bring the vehicle to an end.”

The suspects’ names had not been released by press time.

Southfield police said the driver is a 21-year-old Detroit resident whose criminal history consists of felony weapons, con-

trolled substance, and felony resisting and obstructing incidents, and multiple warrants. Southfield police are seeking to charge the driver with fleeing and eluding, breaking and entering a business and driving without a license.

The front seat passenger is a 27-yearold Detroit resident whose criminal history consists of a felony firearm charge. Southfield police are seeking charges of breaking and entering and resisting and obstructing.

The rear passenger is a 20-year-old Detroit resident with no criminal history. Police are seeking charges of breaking and entering.

A second rear passenger is a 29-year-old Detroit resident who is currently on probation for assault and whose criminal history consists of carjacking, armed robbery, carrying a concealed weapon, felony theft, multiple outstanding traffic warrants and an active warrant for a probation violation. Police are seeking charges of breaking and entering and resisting and obstructing police.

Weidman, a former UFC middleweight champion and New York native, has been a charitable figure throughout his career. Weidman raised money for Hurricane Sandy relief efforts, which also affected his home, and raised money and served on the board of directors for Live to Fight, which helps mixed martial artists who are battling lifethreatening injuries.

Still recovering from an injury, Weidman wasn’t going to be stopped from not only being a part of something special, but also eyeing an accolade on the course.

“Even though I’m playing on a broken leg right now, I’m planning to do some big things here,” Weidman said. “I plan on breaking the course record.”

PLANNING, COMPASSION AND WHAT TO EXPECT

A

lot goes into estate sales, and in addition to the planning and pricing, compassion and understanding are also important.

Ashley Rodgers, the owner of Green Eyes Estate Sales who runs the business with her husband, Christopher Rodgers, listed a number of steps to get an estate sale ready.

The first thing people can expect is a consultation with the estate sale company to gauge their needs. Then comes organizing and evaluating the items, staging and showcasing, announcing the estate sale, and, finally, hosting the sale.

Ashley Rodgers described the first few hours of an estate sale as a “madhouse.” For organizational purposes, her company, as well as other companies, hand out numbers to the customers first in line and only allow a certain number of people in at a time.

The Inaugural

Join Ascension Providence and the SM Gavini Center for Cancer Prevention for our annual prostate cancer screening event.

According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is very rare in men younger than 40, but the chance of having prostate cancer rises rapidly after age 50. Almost 2 out of 3 prostate cancers are found in men over the age of 65.

Prostate cancer occurs more often in African American men than in men of other races. A family history of prostate cancer also increases your risk. Prostate Cancer is treatable.

er points one time in 2022, so the Warriors were in unfamiliar territory when Clarkston held a 10-0 lead with just over a minute left in the first half.

Clarkston, an Oakland Activities Association Red team, brought Southfield more to their speed, utilizing screen plays and outside runs to keep Southfield A&T off balance and break outside containment.

Southfield A&T was driving into Clarkston territory consistently, but the Wolves’ defense would anchor down and get the stop when the team needed it.

With playmakers like wide receivers Tashi Braceful, DaMario Quarles, Xavi Bowman and Jawon Jarrett, you can only keep the Southfield A&T offense contained for so long, especially with the press coverage Clarkston was running.

As Marshall and company drove down the field just before the end of the first half, they knew just how they could exploit the press.

“We knew we could take advantage of it, especially because we like going deep a lot,” Bowman said. “When we figured out that they were taking outside leverage and

that if we got outside of him, there would be nobody else around.”

Bowman put his words into existence, hauling in a 57-yard touchdown pass from Marshall with less than a minute left to go down 10-6 at the half. Southfield A&T was facing a fourth and five on the previous play, but a Clarkston offsides kept the drive alive.

In the second half, it was a defensive showing from Southfield A&T as their front seven homed in on the run game.

Aaron Marshall said Clarkston’s discipline offensively caught his guys flat-footed in the first half, but said his team was able to make the proper changes at halftime.

“They’re very well coached,” Marshall said. “We made some adjustments at halftime for sure. You got to stay home with Clarkston because when something is going away, they bring something back. Our boys did a better job in the second half of staying home and just weathering the storm.”

Clarkston had a chance to extend their lead off a Marshall interception that gave them possession near midfield, but the field goal attempt pushed left to keep the game at 10-6 late in the third quarter. In a game-altering play, Marshall was the only Southfield A&T player with a shot at bringing down the Clarkston defender on the interception, and See FOOTBALL on page 16A

At the Aug. 21 Lathrup Village City Council meeting, DeLoach received a proclamation from the city honoring her “endless service to others.”

seven people ranging in age from 28 to 70.

DeLoach declined any celebration in recognition of her milestone birthday and gave her pastor explicit instructions on how to announce her age to the congregation when he had church members born in August stand up.

“Prior to the announcement, he saw me, and he said, ‘Well, Sister DeLoach, we got this milestone coming up. Am I going to announce it?’ I said, ‘No! You’re going to announce it, but I had to tell you how it has to be announced. You can’t say n-i-n-et-y, because I don’t want to even hear that.

When I hear that, it makes my liver quiver.

So I don’t want to hear that. It has to be nine plus zero.’”

Despite DeLoach’s efforts to let her milestone birthday fly under the radar, her large group of friends would not allow it.

On the day of her birthday, she woke up to large letters in her front yard that read, “Happy Birthday Lady D,” a reference to her nickname, “The Queen,” that her card-playing group named her.

The day before her birthday, at the

Lathrup Village City Council meeting she received a proclamation from the city honoring her “endless service to others” and dedication to the city she has called home for the past 40 years.

Diane Anderson, a close friend of DeLoach, refused to let this milestone birthday go unmarked. Anderson reached out to Lathrup Village Mayor Kelly Garrett and City Council member Bruce Kantor to recognize DeLoach with a proclamation from the city.

Kantor’s reaction was similar to most: He was shocked that DeLoach was turning 90.

Anderson met DeLoach when she returned to her hometown of Lathrup Village after living in Australia for 30 years. Anderson’s mother was a member of the Lathrup Village Women’s Club, and by tagging along to the meetings with her mother, she met DeLoach. “I was just as dazzled as my mother was by Loretta. They (the Women’s Club) used to put on fashion shows as one of the things they did to raise money for charity.

And Loretta was the model. And she could have been a professional model,” Anderson said. “And the more I get to know her, the more dazzled I am by her.”

DeLoach has faced grief and death many times in her life, starting with her father’s death when she was only 5 years old.

When she was 21, her older sister unexpect-

edly passed away in her sleep. One of her older brothers was injured in the service at age 24, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down for the rest of his life. Her other brother passed away at 47 after escaping a fire and then returning to the flames to rescue the elderly, disabled couple he lived with.

In her grief, DeLoach turned to faith to get her through these tragic losses.

“God helped me through all of it. Otherwise, I don’t know where I’d be,” she said.

Since her move to Lathrup Village in 1981, DeLoach has remained a dedicated member of the community, filling her schedule with volunteer work.

In 2018, DeLoach assumed the presidency of the Lathrup Village Women’s Club, which was founded in 1939 and is Lathrup’s longest, continuously serving club. DeLoach joined the LVWC in 1992. She has been an active participant in the club’s outreach activities and has inspired members with her efforts, which include: • Introducing LVWC members to the Detroit Goodfellows Dress Drive and to the Southfield Goodfellows Gift Tree Program.

• Playing a major role in the 2019 80th anniversary of the LVWC celebrations, including the special anniversary luncheon.

• Organizing past LVWC fashion shows and participating as a model.

• Volunteering for Forgotten Harvest.

• Assisting in Lathrup’s Food Distribution program and back-to-school supplies drives.

• Serving as a community representative on the Lathrup Village Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee.

• Volunteering to assist with community activities in Lathrup Village, such as Black History Month, Juneteenth, Shop Small Saturday, art fairs, Winterfest, etc.

• Delivering Meals on Wheels to Lathrup Village residents.

DeLoach’s volunteer work is not limited to the Lathrup Village community. Her other community involvement includes marching with Martin Luther King Jr. during his June 1963 March in Detroit.

“I couldn’t get up to the frontline,” DeLoach said. “I got up to the third or fourth row, but I was working my way up there.”

She went on several Goodwill Santa tours abroad dressed as Santa, delivering toys, gifts, etc., to abandoned children in Brazil, Thailand, Japan, India, Peru and Dubai.

She has supported Habitat for Humanity, Focus: HOPE, the Chaldean Metro Youth Day on Belle Isle, local mentorship programs, and mission trips to Haiti.

A Methodist, DeLoach actively volunteers with the Sisters Home Visitors of Mary,

who run programs in Nigeria to educate women and teach them to run businesses.

They are working to raise funds to purchase a permanent day care center in Nigeria.

As an active member of the Hope United Methodist Church, Loretta volunteers staffing for the Church Mission Ministry.

She helps put together food boxes for the food pantry and distributes the food boxes at the church, and occasionally delivers them personally to families in need.

As a certified fashionista with seven closets in her home dedicated to clothing, one of her greatest passions is The Clothes Closet, where she organizes clothing donations. Her friends joke that she acts like she’s working at Nordstrom or Saks Fifth Avenue while she’s volunteering. She also assists with children’s programs, such as the Halloween Pumpkin Patch and the Winter Wonderland.

DeLoach doesn’t let her age define her and never has. She believes being silly is the secret to her longevity.

“I tell people I’m a bit crazy, and I know it. However, I am ahead of most other people because I’m not in denial. I’m ahead of them because I know I am. I just choose not to do anything about it.”

Southfield A&T defensive tackle Reggie Gardner makes a tackle against Clarkston.

he regained composure and chased him down to keep his team within four points.

Southfield A&T would finally capitalize on a defensive stop as Marshall would connect with Quarles for 18 yards and Braceful for 9 until Clarkston gave them prime field position with a pass interference call. From there, it was all running back Royce Liggins as he took the handoff for a 22yard touchdown run to give Southfield A&T the 14-10 lead with one minute left in the third quarter.

Clarkston would tack on a rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter to take the 17-14 lead, and would have a chance to answer Southfield A&T’s late house call with just under two minutes left, especially with the help of Southfield A&T. Southfield A&T sent the ensuing kickoff out of bounds not once, but twice to give Clarkston field position at the Clarkston 44-yard line. Add on a personal foul by Southfield A&T, and Clarkston would have the ball deep in the red zone at the 15-yard line.

Clarkston went for a misdirection handoff that worked so well all game, but a poor exchange between the Clarkston quarterback and running back would be the downfall as the ball hit the turf and Southfield A&T recovered.

It was unconventional, but Southfield A&T got the job done, and they’ll look to get the offense back on track Sept.

Along with Weidman, Hollywood stars Kevin James (“Grown Ups”), Kevin Dillon (“Entourage”), David Henrie (“Wizards of Waverly Place”) and Jana Kramer (“One Tree Hill”) were joined by athletes Evander Holyfield, John Starks, Spud Webb, Tom Izzo, Calvin Johnson, Sterling Sharpe and many more actors and sports icons.

While the A-listers have likely been able to try their hands at some of the best golf courses around the world, Michigan held its own and stood tall in the court of public opinion, including with Wahlberg.

“There’s so much great golf here, it’s crazy,” Wahlberg said. “You drive every 2 miles, there’s another great golf course.

When I fell in love with Michigan and Detroit, it was a magic summer. I was here shooting a movie, but I was playing various golf courses, experienced Dream Cruise, great food, and met great friends. It was an unforgettable time. I had my family here, so I always try to come back as often as possible.”

One of those great friends is Feldman, whose friendship has now carried over to their families and even business opportunities in Wahlburgers for Feldman and automotive opportunities for Wahlberg.

The duo’s bond is as tight-knit as it can be, and their impact together helped

create the invitational, which is the largest celebrity golf event in metro Detroit.

“This is like my brother right here, and we always bust each other’s chops,” Wahlberg said. “We have a lot of fun and we have a lot of laughs. It’s like family.”

As the event wrapped up this year, expectations only seemed to be heightened for the fourth annual invitational in 2024.

This year introduced the “Golf Ball,” which was an after-golf cocktail party where attendees could converse with celebrities and bid on auction items.

Especially when the weather is cooperating, Feldman said, there’s no better time together than a relaxed golf scramble, especially when it’s for a special cause.

“It’s so addictive,” Feldman said. “Every year it gets bigger, and we’re going to plan for next year and how to double it and create ways for more revenue for the kids.”

Izzo is still working on improving his golf game.

“My golf game still sucks,” Izzo said.

“I’ll stick with my day job a little while longer. When my day job is over, I’ll get better at golf.”

Estate sales from page 10A

Chris Deneau, the owner of Clearview Estate Sales, said every estate sale they host is completely different. People can be out of town, in town, have multiple family members involved and host of other scenarios.

His company takes 35% of the profits, and he said they usually can get set up in a couple of days in a standard household.

“We have been running into less and less standard households in the last couple of years and more hoarding situations, it seems,” Deneau said.

How long it takes also depends on the estate. They’ve done estate sales that take a couple of days and also ones that take two to three weeks, Deneau said.

It takes a while, Rodgers said, to price the items in the estate. Her company uses professionals to appraise everything.

“Our pricing is based on careful research, years of experience and knowledge of the Detroit metro area market,” Rodgers said in an email. “Pricing is also a practice of knowing what current trends in home decor and decorating are popular.”

Both Rodgers and Deneau said it depends on the family when it comes to what happens to the items that aren’t sold.

“Our cleanout process includes selling items as a lot or bundle for deep discounts, donating leftover items to charity, utilizing refuse disposal services and sometimes even having free days,” Rodgers said in an email.

Deneau said his company works with Grace Centers of Hope to donate items not sold.

“There’s certain things that Grace Centers of Hope won’t take,” Deneau said. “So we really focus hard during the estate sale utilizing Facebook Marketplace, utilizing Craigslist, utilizing specialty groups to try and get rid of items that may not be donatable after the sale.”

Both Rodgers and Deneau said there does need to be empathy and compassion when getting ready for an estate sale.

Rodgers said an estate sale doesn’t necessarily happen because a loved one dies; it can be for any number of reasons. Deneau said he’s signed contracts with a 90-year-old going into assisted living and a 21-year-old who lost her parents.

“You have a lot of people that can deal with the situation, but you have a lot of people that you really need to be kind to and you need to walk them through the process very slowly or else they won’t make it through the process,” Deneau said.

They also both said they have dealt with difficult customers who come to estate sales.

Rodgers has security at their sales.

“My company is run by myself and my husband, who is a retired U.S. Navy SEAL,” Rodgers said in the email. She said he “is in charge of security at every sale, and our dedicated staff members all work together to keep everyone safe and shopping happily.”

People looking to host estate sales should be diligent about looking at reviews for a company, and they have to be careful of who they hire.

“But you need to be very diligent about your Google and your Yelp reviews,” Deneau said. “Because you can very, very easily hire a company that can take advantage of you.”

To get an estate sale started, Deneau said, people should take out anything they want to keep and then call an estate sale company.

“You really don’t have to lift another finger other than taking the stuff out that you want,” Deneau said.
