Resident Recognized for Outstanding Devotion to Young Patriot’s Park

Neighbors Looking Out for Neighbors

Cameron Colwell

The former Riverview Forest Neighborhood Watch has recently been expanded to include everyone that is a resident of Riverview with a 48193 address. This being in the best interest of the community and for the police department’s resources. The new organization’s name is Riverview Community Neighborhood Watch. The organization has been established as a means of monitoring and reporting criminal activity to the appropriate authorities. It is an opportunity for the community to come together and get to know their neighbors in order to maintain a safe and enjoyable neighborhood for all residents.

n Friday, June 15, a group gathered near the gazebo in Young Patriots Park for a surprise celebration. One individual in attendance was Miko Ceaser, Riverview resident and active community member.

She thought that she and her husband, Mike Ceaser, were both invited to the Gazebo for a kickoff to the Summerfest activities.

Several weeks before this presentation Mayor Andrew Swift and Mike had a conversation, discussing how the city would like to publicly acknowledge all that Miko has done for the park over the years. Miko has poured financial support into Young Patriot’s Park, as well as dedicated herself to making our city a more beautiful place. During the conversation, the two came to an agreement that a simple plaque honoring Miko would be a great way to start the 2018 Riverview Summerfest activities.

After welcoming everyone to the Summerfest Kickoff ceremony the City thanked Ceaser Capital Management for being the presenting sponsor of the event. From there Mayor Swift told everyone that the real reason they were there was to show the cities appreciation to one of its most generous citizens.

Mayor Swift introduced Miko, and thanked her for her laser like focus on Patriot’s Park. There he mentioned the numerous donations Miko has made, but even more impressively the amount of time she has dedicated to the park.

Miko has arranged several events to rebeautify, clean up and improve the park from time to time. At each of these events, you can see Miko heading the hard work herself.

LOCAL ROCKER/RESTAURATEUR SERVES UP HOT NEW ALBUM

N

ick Piunti leads a double life.

On most nights Nick is the mild-mannered owner of a renowned fine dining establishment, but put a guitar in his hands and he quickly changes into a sort of rockn-roll superman. If the collection of awards and the size of the crowds are any indication, he might just be the finest restaurateur in Downriver. He might also just be the hottest rock star to come out of Darrin Moore Downriver since Bob Seger. That is a pretty tall order, but fulfilling orders is something that runs in the Piunti family.

In 1944 Nick’s grandfather Sam purchased Sibley Gardens restaurant which was moved to its present location on West Jefferson Road in Trenton five years later. The Piunti family has been searing prime cuts of steak for three generations and the gem of a restaurant is now in Nick’s capable hands. Jem Records is primed to release Nick’s fourth solo album in six years,Temporary High, on July 20th. The melodic, high energy, riffcentric songs seem like they could have been sired by Tom Petty, Bryan Adams, or Cheap Trick, but Nick’s distinct “power pop” sound was in utero long before those granddaddies of rock birthed their biggest hits.

Although he lives on the Grosse Ile now, Nick grew up in Riverview, and started showing musical promise in sixth grade when his band named Dwarf played in his school’s 1972 talent show. Three years later Dwarf would release their first single. After making music together for fourteen years, Dwarf changed their name to The Take and took off for California to stake their claim. “We got to play at some really cool places like Troubadour, Madame Wong’s, Club Lingerie, and The Central,” Nick recalls fondly, “but our sound didn’t really connect with what the L.A. scene wanted at the time. Glam rock had become the dominating force.”

Even though the power pop genre has far outlasted the sound of the big

hair bands, Nick’s band was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and after two years in La-La Land, The Take disbanded and returned home.

“What we got most out of our time in California was a greater appreciation for Michigan. Everybody out there is trying to make it on their own.

There’s no sense of community like there is in the Midwest.”

Nick cut his first solo album, Cold Cruel World, in 1988, released his second in 2002 and released three more with the band The Respectables from 2005 to 2010 which garnered national acclaim. Piunti then began collaborating with Ryan Allen, a Detroit songwriter and guitarist who helped Nick assemble three successful albums. Now Nick is blending the ingredients of his vast musical experience and serving up his greatest delicacy to date. The album, Temporary High, was produced in the studio at Big Sky Recording in Ann Arbor by Piunti and Geoff Michael. “It takes a lot of time

to make an album. In an age where people have come to expect that music is basically free, only the people whose hearts are in it are producing new music. They are not in it for the money.” That means it is much harder to be a sell-out, and that Nick and his band better not quit their day jobs.

Hope and deeper meaning are at the heart of Nick’s work and they radiate through in his songs. “I try to write about things that mean a lot to me, and although many people like my music for the riffs and melodies, I hope my lyrics will mean something more to most of the listeners. But it’s different writing songs as you get older. When you’re young you write about trying to get that girl, but perhaps you are also more superficial when you are younger.

You don’t really appreciate the best things in life the way you do once you’ve matured. Now I sometimes try to write through my kids’ eyes, looking out at the world as they do, but I try to add a wiser take on it, hoping maybe they’ll see it more

deeply.”

Nick’s music masterfully makes what is old new again, and this tense paradox of young and old is presciently apparent in his new album’s title track Temporary High, which launches the album with these piercing lyrics sung with Piunti’s stillyouthfully energetic and liberating voice: Never heard the word ‘no’ as a kid So you did what you did.

But life isn’t fair, and nobody cares ‘Bout the corner you painted yourself in your whole life You’re the last in the line but first with your hands out More than your share but you scream and you shout It’s not worth the trouble, not worth the struggle and strife To rebel against the thoughtlessly rebellious is nowadays its own rebellion. In the song, Nick frets about how today’s kids don’t see the really real, and “won’t go for anything that money just can’t buy” but instead prefer the fleeting and vacuous “temporary high” which to him “seems so low.” This is not your grandson’s power pop. “I try to write identifiable riffs, so that it is catchy without being kitschy or cheesy. And then I write the lyrics that come from the heart.”

He seems to have the Midas touch for turning out a string of successful albums the way his restaurant consistently turns out superior food.

Nick humbly explains, “I try to take what I’ve learned at Sibley Gardens and apply it to my approach to music. We try to ensure our food is consistently good, and I want to do the same with all the songs on my albums.

It takes a lot of extra effort, but it’s worth it.”

But don’t expect to get a taste of Piunti on tour any time soon. His band is playing mostly private gigs and special events and won’t even star at an album release party until a month after it drops. Check out his album, Temporary High, at nickpiunti. com and preorder it on Amazon, iTunes, or at your local record store.

NEIGHBORS

CONTINUED from page 1 The new neighborhood watch will create a safe, unified community by promoting community events including safety seminars, block parties, and the annual National Night Out. There will be programs that welcome new neighbors to the community and to help neighbors that need assistance during adverse weather or natural disasters. All are welcome to attend the meetings and register to be on the watch. In order for the program to continue to work, people need to join.

Riverview is ranked the 60th safest city in Michigan, right behind Wyandotte at 53 and Trenton at 39.

The city of Riverview has been in the top ten in the last 15 years and has even been in the top 5 before that. As of last year, 190 property crimes had been reported to the Police Department. In order to bring those numbers down, it is suggested to lock your vehicle’s doors, set your alarm or anti-theft device, park in well lit areas, don’t leave valuables in your cars, and don’t leave your garage door open.

RIVERVIEW IS RANKED THE 60TH SAFEST CITY IN MICHIGAN, RIGHT BEHIND WYANDOTTE AT 53 AND TRENTON AT 39. THE CITY OF RIVERVIEW HAS BEEN IN THE TOP TEN IN THE LAST 15 YEARS AND HAS EVEN BEEN IN THE TOP 5 BEFORE THAT. Many property crimes are crimes of opportunity. Leaving your garage door open even if you are inside the house or in the backyard, can lead to easy opportunity for theft.

Many people leave their home and car doors unlocked, or their garage doors open, because they feel they live in a safe neighborhood.

Many properties are broken into by nonresidents. Without precautions including alarms, security cameras, and locked doors, it is easy for things to be taken or broken. Some of the most commonly stolen items have been: cash, wallets/purses, portable GPS, cell phones and garage door openers. If we all do our part, we can keep our city safe.

The Riverview Community Neighborhood Watch has identified three areas of concern to Riverview

Residents: home and auto burglaries, vandalism, and making the community safer for children. The watch works with the Riverview Police Department to monitor and report crimes and suspicious activities to the authorities to eliminate these areas of concern within the city. The watch currently has four goals: (1) implement a system for monitoring, reporting, and following up on suspicious activity, (2) educate residents on ways to prevent and report crime, (3) act as a liaison between the residents and the Police Department to keep residents accurately informed of criminal activity in a timely manner, (4) maintain a community that is safe for children by monitoring vehicle speeds, keeping sidewalks clear, keeping parks clean, and creating safe zones in case of danger.

Dear Fellow Riverview Residents.

I hope you were able to come out enjoy our Summerfest activities at Young Patriots Park. We had a very good turnout that enjoyed the wares being displayed by the vendors, riding the carnival rides, the car show, and listening to the bands while enjoying a beverage or two from the American Andrew Swift Legion beer tent.

The fireworks being launched from the top of the landfill were a big success. Even the fishing derby and “Rosco the Clown” drew a large number of youngsters on Sunday this year. But I think the biggest hit was the addition of the sand to create Riverview Beach at the reflection pond. Although there is no swimming allowed, families enjoyed playing in the sand and lounging in the beach chairs provided by the city.

I would like to remind everyone that the Recreation Commission/ Department has restored Concerts in the Parks and Movies in the Parks.

For four Wednesdays in a row starting July 11 at 7:00pm, there will be concerts held at Young Patriots Park under the Gazebo. Bring your own chair or blanket and enjoy an evening of live music. Movies in the Park have also returned. The movies will be shown in Young Patriots Park or Carr Park. Please see the Riverview Register, Riverview Recreation Facebook page for the schedule or call the Recreation Department at 734-281-4219.

As I mentioned earlier, the fireworks were launched from the top of the landfill. This leads me to some questions I’ve been asked about the landfill. Several residents have asked what some of the benefits Riverview receives from owning our landfill. The first is that we dispose of our household waste at no cost to our residents. This benefit alone has a value of around $110,000 annually.

The second and greater value is that the landfill pays for the household waste collection in Riverview. This is at a cost (savings) of around $335,000 annually. Most residents are not aware

that Riverview is one of the greenest communities around. On site we have Riverview Energy Systems owned by DTE that converts methane from the landfill to electricity. This creates an income to the city of about $200,000 annually. Riverview owns its own Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) plant. This plant located on landfill property converts methane siphoned from hill to Vehicle CNG. This CNG is then used to power several city owned vehicles instead of purchasing gasoline. The cost to power these vehicles is around $1.20 per gallon.

And if the price of gas ever reaches the cost of $4.00 a gallon or higher again, we’d likely see the return of several commercial customers that we’ve had in the past. The landfill also offers a recycling center available to residents Monday thru Friday 7:00am to 4:00pm with extended hours on Wednesday to 8:00pm.

For those who would like to keep up with all the new business activity taking place in Riverview and the entire downriver community, I would invite you to “LIKE” the Southern Wayne County Regional Chamber of Commerce Facebook page. The Chamber, led by Riverview resident, Mr. Ron Hinrichs, is ardent supporter of Riverview businesses and those businesses located in the 30+ communities covered by the Chamber. Look soon for the grand opening of Starbuck’s and Tiramisu.

I’ll wrap up with a couple of congratulations. The first goes to the Kiwanis of Riverview. The organization was part of larger effort to collect cereal for needy children who don’t get breakfast while school is not in session. With the help of all the other downriver Kiwanis clubs, and the herculean effort by Pam Taurence of Children’s Hospital, we collected 1,938,537 servings of cereal. The second goes to residents Robert Diebold and Austin Smith for winning the scholarship of one week of training at the Michigan State Police Academy. These scholarships are sponsored by the Kiwanis of Riverview every year to those who have an interest in law enforcement as a career. Good Luck gentlemen.

St. Cyprian Catholic Church operates with the hope that your faith will deepen through worship, service, education, and stewardship during your time with their parish. Each of these facets of parish life will have a direct effect on you and, in turn, have an effect on every other member of the community. The parish is found on Pennsylvania road in Riverview.

Worship, especially in the Sunday Eucharistic Liturgy, is the focal point of Catholic life. In the words of the Second Vatican Council: Liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed. It is also the font from which all its power flows (Sacrosanctum Concilium,10).

Because we bring all of the week’s accomplishments and failures to the Sunday assembly, it is important that we gather in thanksgiving and petition as we enter another week. This provides the necessary food for the Christian journey.

Service is the natural outpouring of our worship. Once we pray and feast on the Word of God and the Body and Blood of Christ, we sense the call to

CULINARY CAPERS Because July is National Hot Dog Month, you may be planning to cook some franks and could use ideas for toppings.

But first, a few facts about America’s favorite comfort food: n According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, more than seven billion hot dogs will be consumed between Memorial Day and Labor Day. n Every year, Americans eat an average of 60 hot dogs each. n Mustard is the Number 1 condiment on hot dogs, and ketchup No. 2.

Delish.com offers a list of toppings representing all 50 states, some a little weird (the toppings, not the states).

The list included peanuts for Alabama; Spam and pineapple, Hawaii; popcorn, Kansas; mashed Evelyn Cairns potatoes, Idaho; French fries, brown gravy and cheese, New Hampshire; pine nuts, Nevada; cubed ham, Virginia; pickle and maple syrup, Vermont. No thanks!

Or consider avocado and bacon, California; Boston baked beans, Massachusetts; pork sausage, melted Swiss cheese and sauerkraut, Missouri; hot dog baked in pizza dough, Nebraska; chili, Frito chips, sour cream and cheese, New Mexico; chili, coleslaw and onions, North Carolina. Yum! Michigan’s topping on the list is chili (with no beans), mustard and onions, and as every metropolitan Detroiter knows, the ultimate hot dog is served at Lafayette Coney Island.

According to Amazing Ribs, the Detroit Coney Dog was created by a Greek sheepherder, Constantine “Gust” Keros in 1917 after he came to America and tasted a hot dog on Coney Island. The typical Detroit Coney Dog is first topped with mustard, then chili and then chopped onions; never with ketchup, and never with cheese.

Now overcome with a yen for a Coney Island, I satisfied my craving by combining and adapting recipes of Lafayette Coney Island, Rachael Ray, Taste of Home and Taste and

Tell. You might want to check out a few sauce recipes, too, and do the same, or adapt my adaptation.

ADAPTED CONEY ISLAND SAUCE ½ pound ground beef ¼ cup chopped onion 8-ounce can tomato sauce 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 teaspoon lemon juice ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon chili powder ½ teaspoon cumin ½ teaspoon dry mustard ¼ teaspoon salt Cook the beef and onion over medium heat, breaking up the meat with a potato masher until cooked through, then drain. Add tomato sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, mustard and salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer, uncovered about 20 minutes, or until sauce thickens, stirring often. Add a bit of water if too thick.

SHARES RECIPE Sandra Karmazin of Grosse Ile shares a family-favorite corn pudding recipe that would be a perfect side dish for a barbecue or indoor dinner. She said she’s been making the casserole for many years, usually mixing the cheese in the batter, but sometimes sprinkling the cheese on top instead. I’ve made the pudding three times already and enjoyed every bite.

OLDIE-BUT-GOODIE CORN PUDDING 15½-ounce can whole kernel corn, drained 14½-ounce can cream-style corn 8-ounce package Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix 1 cup sour cream (at room temperature) ½ stick butter, melted 1½ cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together the two cans of corn, the corn muffin mix, sour cream, melted butter and shredded cheese. Pour into a greased 9x13inch casserole dish. Bake for about 50 minutes or until golden brown.

HAPPY HOT DOG MONTH!

DEVOTION CONTINUED from page 1 Miko was then invented to walk outside to a large rock near the entrance of the gazebo. There the rock was then uncovered to reveal a plaque.

The plaque recognized Miko of her largest donation towards the park, the gazebo itself.

You could tell by her reaction that she was totally surprised. She in turn thanked everyone for having the plaque made and she the stated how much she loves the park.

“The Ceasars have been very generous in their support and also very patient in how slow city government can move sometimes,” said Mayor Andrew Swift, “We look forward to working with them in the future and that others will learn by their example about what community means.”

Michael Ceaser is the owner Ceaser Capital Managment, LLC. Entering the business in 1975, Michael is one of the pioneers of the financial planning industry, and oversees all of the accounts at the firm. He became a Certified Financial Planner in 1981, at a time when there were only about 2,300 in the entire country.

Ceaser Capital Management, LLC, was once again the title sponsor of Summerfest this year.

This just another example of how great the couple has been to the City of Riverview in the past.

RIVERVIEW COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

District Hosts Seminar to “Spark” Interest in Digital Learning Program On Thursday, June 1, Riverview Community School District hosted an event attended by school personnel from districts outside Riverview who are interested in learning more about the e-Spark Learning Program implemented by Riverview at the beginning of this past school year. Representatives from e-Spark spoke to the whole group of teachers, administrators, and curriculum directors about the advantages of using e-Spark in the primary classrooms. This program provides digital access to fun and engaging lessons through iPad applications designed to meet each student at his or her own individualized instructional level, based on scores from the NWEA assessments that are administered three times each school year. As students move through their series of lessons, called “Quests,” they apply their knowledge to the completion of specific lessons that target deficit skills, and as

they conquer the standards in each lesson, they are rewarded through Avatars, apps, games, and praise from the teacher.

The teachers are able to monitor each student’s progress through a special dashboard that houses all their lessons, as well as the videos that children complete at the end of each Quest. Using the cameras on their iPads, the

children make individual videos of themselves explaining what they have learned—in essence, they “teach” the lesson to the teacher, demonstrating mastery of key concepts in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the creation of the videos, students use dry-erase boards, markers, manipulatives, and other resources to show what they have learned,

Riverview Teacher Leaders Complete Academy For the past two school years, seven of Riverview’s outstanding teachers participated in an elite program sponsored

by Wayne County RESA (Regional Educational Service Agency). Organized and led by notable educator Syndee Malek, the Teacher Leaders Academy offered a wealth of experiences to teachers who chose to embrace the extra effort to improve their personal educational leadership capabilities.

Ryan DiBrano, a history teacher from RCHS, Amy Farkas, a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) teacher from Seitz, Stacy Gajewski, a 5th grade teacher from Huntington, and Michon Lince, a social studies / government teacher from RCHS took part in the RESA Teacher Leaders Academy. They were joined by Katy Olsen, a special -education teacher from Memorial, Brenda Said-Wright, elementary Literacy Coach and former Forest primary grade teacher, and Amy Wassick, a fifth-grade teacher at Forest.

For two years, these teachers attended workshops, seminars, and conferences at RESA and in different parts of the state of

Michigan. Most of these events took place after school, on Saturdays, and during the summer, so that class time lost was minimal. They completed book studies and were tutored by nationally recognized educators and pedagogical speakers. They also participated in discussion boards, professional learning communities, and collaborative meetings to brainstorm best practices and wellresearched strategies to improve education in Riverview, along with honing leadership proficiency in themselves.

On Tuesday, May 1, Riverview’s teacher leaders, along with cohorts from other Wayne County districts, were recognized and congratulated on their graduation from this prestigious academy. Michael Fullan, an esteemed educational author and speaker, keynoted the day-long honorary conference held at banquet center in Livonia. This conference was also attended by board members and Central Office Administrators, who witnessed and accepted, with great pride, the advanced leadership skills of the seven graduates of the RESA Teacher Leaders Academy.

as they speak into a microphone connected to their headphones.

Visitors to Riverview Forest Elementary School were able to tour the K-3 classrooms that use e-Spark, and they spent some time talking to the students, teachers, and administrators about the program. Students were delighted to show off their expertise in using the digital learning program, and

they enthusiastically touted the benefits of having e-Spark as a resourceful educational tool.

The e-Spark program was used in all elementary buildings for Grades K-2 this year, and piloted the second half of the year in the third grade classrooms at Forest School. Next school year, the plan is to implement e-Spark Learning in the K-3 classrooms at Forest, Memorial, and Huntington Schools. e-Spark is just one of the variety of programs the district has in place to ensure that all students are able to meet the expectations of content learning in English Language Arts and Mathematics by third grade, when state mandated testing (M-STEP) begins. Riverview was proud to demonstrate to the other districts the success that they have had in the acquisition and implementation of e-Spark during the 2017 - 2018 school year.

THE GREAT AMERICAN READ! The RPL is excited to support PBS and the Great American Read! PBS compiled a list of America’s 100 best-loved novels based on the results of a national survey. At the beginning of the summer, they aired their first show that was created as a “series and multi-platform initiative that celebrates the joy of reading”. (PBS. org) The two-hour program introduced each of the books and included testimonials from readers about why reading these books was/is important to them. The show is on break during the summer to allow America time to vote for their favorite reads and will resume in the fall, when each book will be discussed again and the 100 books will battle it out through viewer vote for the top spot as “America’s Best Loved Novel”.

The RPL is joining in on the fun by providing interested readers a copy of the Great American Read book checklist and a special display of participating books near the front of the library. Books are adorned with identifying Great American Read stickers and will be available to patrons until the end of the national contest. Starting July 1st, patrons are invited to stop by and vote for their favorite novel in our own competition – “RPL’s Best Loved Novel”. The winning book will get a special display and will be announced on our Facebook page. Stop in today and help your favorite novel become the big winner!

Suggestions or Comments? We are listening at 734-282-3939

Riverview History With Perry Dear Jerry, I wonder if you can speak to the readers, and myself, on the subject of the Riverview Civil Defense Auxiliary Police and Fire during the 50’s and 60’s. I was a member of the Auxiliary Police back then, but interest died and I wondered what happened.

Thanks, Joe Joe, Thanks for the letter. On January 12, 1951, President Truman signed a bill into law called “The Federal Civil Defense Act.” It was a law designed to protect life and property in the United States in case of enemy assault. Truman stated, “ I therefore call upon all citizen to lend their support to civil defense in their own communities Gerald Perry …”

After the Korean War, the United States was still nervous about the spread of Communism, and the spread of Nuclear capabilities.

Most downriver communities including Riverview and Trenton formed their own civil defense units.

On June 26, 1957, a meeting was held at the A.E. Smith High School for persons interested in police work under the civil defense program.

Twenty five persons attended to make arrangements for the training program.

Sgt. Jack R. Shoup of the Riverview Police Department headed the “Division of Auxiliary Police” in the area of Civil Defense. On September 23, 1957, twenty-three Civil Defense Auxiliary Policemen received their diplomas.

The ceremony took place with Ernest J. Mayoros, Civil Defense director. The OCD Police Auxiliary continued to serve at functions, serving as peace officers during HIgh School Functions, or where ever needed.

Sometime in the late 1960s, early 1970s, the title of ODC was dropped, and the unit was called Riverview Auxiliary Police. A few years later, for reasons unknown to me, the unit was disbanded.

The Original ODC Logo patch as used on shoulders of the light blue uniform shirt, along with dark blue trousers and a white leather belt.

ABOUT THE COLUMNIST Gerald Perry was born, raised and lived in Riverview up to and including the years of writing his book. He attended the Riverview schools, and was a graduate of Albert Smith High School. His parents moved to Riverview in the early 1930s. Both were active in most activities in the Village. His Father was a volunteer Fireman, and his Mother was active in politics and a member of the Riverview Hall of Fame.

Gerald followed in his parents’ footsteps. He was elected into the Riverview Hall of Fame in 2003.

He was a Riverview Fireman and served as Deputy Fire Chief.

He ran and was elected to the Riverview School Board. He served on the Riverview Auxiliary Police before being hired full time as the City Dog Warden. Health and License Inspector, the Director of the Riverview Land Preserve, and eventually Director of Public Works from 1972 until retirement in 2006.

The Riverview Community High School, Men’s Varsity Baseball team finished up their season while making it to the Regional Semifinals. On June 1, the Pirates travelled to Grosse Ile for the Division 2, District 56 Championship. The Pirates played against the Trenton Trojans and put Garrett Davis on the mound. Davis struck out three batters, BASEBALL walked two and allowed hits on his way to his fourth complete game shutout of the season. In the bottom of the fifth inning, the boys ran in their final score of the night, winning the game (2-0). This win allowed the boys to advance to the Semifinals against Tecumseh.

On June 9, the Pirates travelled to Monroe Jefferson to play Tecumseh, in the Division 2 Regional 14 Semifinal. Davis was the starting pitcher, striking out six batters with no walks in the six innings of play. The Pirates lost to Tecumseh with a score of (3-0); the Pirates record of the season is 23-11.

On June 9, the Riverview Community High School Women’s Softball team competed in the Division 2 Regional Semifinals. The Pirates travelled to Carleton Airport, to compete against Milan for the chance to advance for Regional Finals. The girls fell to Milan (5-1) after the game had been cancelled due to bad weather. The soggy fields and increasingly worse downpour, caused the game to be delayed then called SOFTBALL in the bottom of the sixth inning. This put an end to an outstanding season for the Pirates. In the regular season, the girls have beat the Big Reds in a doubleheader in April, (14-4) and (8-3); hitting five home runs. This year, six players graduated and as a team they took home three district titles.

At this years Division 2, District 56 Championship on June 1, the Pirates played the Trenton Trojans and took the win (3-20). This is the girls second consecutive district title. Before the district game, the Pirates played Dearborn Heights Robichaud (15-0). A great season for the Pirates with an unfortunate ending.

On June 2, the Men’s and Women’s Track State qualifiers, competed for State titles. From the Riverview Community High School, competing in the Division 2 State Final, Robert Diebold finished 15th TRACK & FIELD in the 3200m with a time of (9:42.28). Also on the Men’s team, Dylan Scott, placed 20th in the long jump (18-09.00). On the Women’s team, Taijha Ward placed 18th in the shot put category, (34:10.50). A total of three RCHS runners qualified to run in the State Competition.

For the Riverview Gabriel Richard Men’s Track team, four boys competed for the Division 3 State Final. Gabe Pascua, Michael Holdsclaw, Avery Rena and Nevin Hughes competed in the 4x100 relay with a time of (46.78). ~ Compiled by Sarah Hemsworth

Resident Becomes #1 Battlerite Player In The World

Like Us On Facebook : RIVERVIEW REGISTER

Jonathan Schell is in 11th Grade at Riverview Community High School student, and takes his video games to the next level. Jonathan was invited to Sweden, all expense paid, after defeating all North American teams in a game called Battlerite. He faced the world’s best teams from North America, Europe, Korea, and South America!

Battlerite is an action-packed Team Arena Brawler type game.

The game is focused on competitive player against player combat, meaning you verse another actual player instead of the game. You are able to select from a variety of twenty-seven champions to play as. Once in game you fight side by side with teammates or friends to the sound of the roaring crowd in a fictional, but vibrant colosseum-style surroundings.

Over the past few years eSports has been building in notoriety, even gaining recognition from the sports broadcasting channel ESPN. Esports, being defined as a form competition using video games, has developed its own culture, practices, and fanbase. Several competitive leagues see televised and streamed competitions with their venues.

Different companies have began sponsoring host teams. The host teams will then gather enough competitive players for a certain game they wish to compete in, and enter the league.

Jonathan was a member of Team Spacestation GG. After a long and fierce tournament they progressed to the finals. On June 17, they went up against Team Impact for the World Cup. The match

was exciting and fast paced. Eventually Jonathan and a teammate engaged the enemy team while down one player to push for the end of the match.

With some swift execution and quick thinking the two of them were able to take down all of Team Impact. Team Spacestation GG became the official World Champions for the first competitive season of Battlerite.

Silka Shines as Gabriel Richard Wins State Championship Sarah Hemsworth

Riverview Register Staff Writer

The Riverview Gabriel Richard varsity baseball team went on a roll this spring season. On June 9, the boys played at home against Detroit Edison for the Division 3, Region 32 Championship and won the game 20-0. Eight players got at least one hit off opposing pitchers and the game ended as a mercy in the fifth inning. This was Richard’s second consecutive regional title. Three days later the boys were victorious in the State quarterfinals match against Michigan Central, winning 10-2 and earning a spot in the Division 3 semifinals. The Pioneer pitching was just as striking as their hitting. Matt Silka struck out seven batters in the six innings.

Only Schoolcraft High School stood in the Pioneers’ way on their march to the State Championship game. On June 15, the Pioneers travelled to the University of Michigan’s Drayton McLane Baseball Stadium to play the Schoolcraft. Neither team mustered a run in the first four innings. The Eagles broke the scoreless tie in the fifth inning but in the sixth inning, eleven Pioneers made it onto the bases and five made it home to bring home the victory and the first appearance in the State Championship since 1994.

On June 16, the Pioneers packed their gear for the State Championship game at Michigan State University against returning state champs Madison Heights

Bishop Foley. Back on the mound for the Pioneers was Matt Silka who would finish the season with an ERA under one. No pitcher in history has pitched a no-hitter in the championship game, but Silka was determined to be the first. He pitched 92 pitches, struck out seven batters, and had a no-hitter going into the seventh inning. Only four other pitchers have had one-hit complete games in the championship, and it was more than enough to give Gabriel Richard Catholic High School’s varsity baseball team their first ever D3 state championship, winning 3-0.

YOUR BETTER HEALTH

Getting and Keeping Fit With Gardening Are you having a hard time making it to the gym 3 to 5 times a week? You tell yourself there is just not enough time in the day with all those kid activities, family events, things on the honey-do-list, not to mention the yard work that was not an issue until just recently. You may not have time to go to the gym; but you can still be physically active Dr. Michael Concessi and boost your Riverview Chiropacctor metabolism by being creative with your time.

Let’s take one thing on the list, such as yard work and gardening. It is estimated that one hour of general gardening can burn between 250300 calories per hour. This can be even more if you are doing major landscaping renovations, such as shoveling dirt or gravel, planting bushes or laying patio blocks. As you continue to garden, you are exercising and toning all major muscle groups, such as your core, back, shoulders, arms, and legs.

In addition to burning calories, gardening helps to relieve stress, which can lower blood pressure.

Most of us know that there is not a lot of planning or brain power that goes into cutting and edging our lawns. I mean really, walking back and forth on autopilot with music playing in your ears from your smartphone, and the occasional emptying of the grass clipping bag is not mentally stressful. Then there is that feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction after finishing the job and knowing just a short time ago that your castle was lost in the middle of a jungle known as a lawn.

Another benefit of gardening as a form of exercise is that it doesn’t require a gym membership or expensive equipment. A decent shovel, yard rake, weeding tools, and gloves are pretty much all you need for your gardening gym.

While gardening does not totally replace your gym workout, heavy yard work is a great way to add variation to your regular exercise program or routine, while light gardening can be great for exercise

WHEN DIGGING, SWITCH BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN HANDS SO THAT YOU ARE UTILIZING BOTH ARMS. beginners. If you do yard work as a way to burn calories, consider these tips to take full advantage of your outdoors workout: n Like any workout, always warm up first. Take a short walk around your yard or down the block to get the blood flowing to your muscles.

Then try some light stretches for your arms, legs and lower back. Also remember to take a few breaks throughout the day, and keep hydrated with extra water. n Use a push mower instead of a riding tractor. This adds intensity, so that you’re working harder, elevating that heart rate, and burning more calories. As your mower bag fills, the heavier it becomes and the harder it is to push, thus, the more calories you burn. n If you are raking, change the movement and direction to make full use of your shoulder and arm muscles. Rake in front of your body to target your shoulders. Rake both right to left and left to right to work both arms. n If you’re using a wheelbarrow to haul rocks, soil, or mulch, take the longer path through your yard before you set your load down. n When digging, switch back and forth between hands so that you are utilizing both arms. n When watering, drag a heavy hose around the yard with you.

You’ll also have to use those muscles again to put it away and wind it up when you’re done.

By using the yard as your own personal gym, you will take in the benefits of transforming your yard into something beautiful, while at the same time giving yourself a leaner and better fit body. Plus, as an added benefit, that free sunshine helps boost Vitamin D production, which aids in the absorption of calcium to help keep those bones of yours strong.

RETAIL LANDSCAPE UPDATE All is not Well in Paradise; We Can Fix It!

T

he older I get, the more I become aware that age breeds resistance to change. For the record, I LIKE change. I don’t believe in change for the sake of change, though, and when powerful forces such as the ignoring of monopoly law and other predatory enabling, some Peter Rose change has serious repercussions that causes permanent damage.

America has a problem these days of vacant malls, or malls and stores you can tell are soon to BE vacant. I pointed out in other columns that we come to this state of affairs by way of the explosion of national chains with NYSE funding that provided developers with an insatiable demand for more and more space as the retail industry in the USA grew to have about 23.6 square feet of retail space per person in the country. This means that we have on the order of 7,625,000,000 square feet of retail space in the USA. The UK has 4.6 per person ... Less than a fifth of ours.

Australia has 11.1 sq. ft. per person, less than half. Japan is about a sixth of ours. The USA alone has built so much infrastructure, to supply a far-too-small demand, making price the primary differentiator among competitors, and leading to collapse when the tail winds slow, allowing the following wake of the motor boat, so to speak, swamping the ship. A stupid strategy. 500 national stores are closed or announced to be closed this year alone, and thousands more will follow.

Those closures create a real problem of real estate development that is not well suited for anything else, leaving white elephants everywhere, boarded up and blighted, depressing surrounding property values.

There ARE good things happening.

Wyandotte, for one, is a city enjoying a resurgence that is beautiful to be a part of. The big thrust, though, is bars and restaurants. It’s happening elsewhere downriver

as well ... investment in this sector by independents is impressive, and DOES inform that a rebirth of independent retail is also possible.

Yet right now, there is virtually NO such investment or interest in retail, and no signs on the horizon that anything is changing on that front.

As I think I may have made clear, Amazon rankles me in particular.

Michigan just gave them $5 Million to build a new distribution center, because of the lure of 1,600 new jobs.

Keep in mind that each job there equates to the loss of 3 - 5 retail jobs.

Smart move, Michigan?

But people don’t see that buying direct from stores or websites like Tommy Bahama also rob local independent stores as well. Brands have become our competitors, too, siphoning off as much as they can to get the business directly. They aggressively market on-line and through direct mail and other means, including one of the biggest scams: Outlet stores at Outlet Centers. (The Ralph Lauren Polos you buy at an outlet are NOT the same as the ones you buy from traditional resources.)

Things ebb and flow, to be sure. I didn’t see the collapse of nationals, either. Malls were here to stay in a big way. Now, not so much. In this environment, then, keeping indie stores from closing is important, because the odds are so slim that they will come back or find new replacements any time soon. We can’t get Mulias and Elias back or replaced, and just imagine Trenton today with that bustling department store. We all have to see loss as something we can prevent. We have to see it as OUR responsibility. Our choices as individuals become a community’s collective actions, and shape the future economic health of our cities ... on purpose, by design and intent. Not just as an “oh-by-the-way” thing, but because we all understand that we can easily become a modern day Del Ray if we don’t.

Indie stores alone offer something more and different than clicking a mouse button. If you agree, decide to keep those options!
