FARMS — At 93, artist and retired art educator Carol LaChiusa could easily rest on her laurels, having already amassed an impressive body of work and a slew of awards. Instead, she not only continues to paint, but also continues to paint astoundingly beautiful pieces, some of which will be featured in her new solo exhibition. “LaChiusa Lollapalooza: Carol LaChiusa Works in Watercolor,” in the art gallery in Grosse Pointe Congregational Church in Grosse Pointe Farms, will open with a public reception with the artist from noon to 2 p.m. Jan. 14. The show runs through March 3; from noon to 2 p.m. March 3, unframed works will be sold for half-off. “She is an outstanding artist,” said fellow artist Lori Zurvalec, of Grosse Pointe City, chair of the Grosse Pointe Congregational Church Arts Ministry. “Her waterSee LACHIUSA on page 14A

GROSSE POINTE PARK — Four suspects have been identified by police after they reportedly carjacked a man who was picking up a carryout in the area of Beaconsfield and Kercheval avenues at around 8:35 p.m. Dec. 12. During a Jan. 8 Grosse Pointe Park City Council meeting, Public Safety Director James Bostock said they’ve identified the suspects involved in the case, all of whom are juveniles. He said two of the suspects had been interviewed at press time and released into their parents’ custody, while police were still awaiting the results of seven search warrants they obtained to collect more evidence. Bostock said their plan is to build up a solid case to present to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office. “It’s a unique situation because it involves juveniles instead of adults,” Bostock said. A police report from December stated that three of the suspects, who approached the victim on foot, were wearing all-black clothing and masks. One of the suspects, who was armed with a silver handgun, demanded the victim’s car key, which he surrendered. The three suspects then entered the vehicle — a black 2019 Cadillac Escalade — and fled the scene. See CARJACKING on page 9A

FARMS — State funding announced at the end of 2023 is going to be a big help to Grosse Pointe Farms this year. House Bill No. 4292, which was approved by the Michigan House and Senate in December 2023 and signed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Dec. 18, includes $500,000 to reimburse the Farms for costs the city has incurred while maintaining Highland Park Pumping Station equipment in the Farms. “As we continue to make new investments to move Michigan forward, it’s equally important for us to correct the issues of our past — including by reimbursing the residents of Grosse Pointe Farms who have unfairly held the responsibility of maintaining Highland Park’s pumping station for years,” state Sen. Kevin Hertel, D-St. Clair Shores, said in a prepared statement. “Addressing this issue is long overdue, and I am grateful to my colleagues in the legislature for approving the funding necessary to take care of this financial liability. This appropriation is truly a win for Grosse Pointe Farms as it allows them to redirect their resources to what really matters: addressing the needs of their community.”

SHORES — At more than 60 years old, Grosse Pointe Shores’ Osius Park pool is in need of replacement or major repairs. But thanks to a surprise gift from a former Shores resident, the city is well on its way to having the money to tackle such an expenditure. During a Shores City Council meeting Dec. 12, Shores City Manager Stephen Poloni said that the Carole Ann Williams Trust had contacted him to let him know that the city would be receiving a gift of $1,238,111 from the trust. “This was a little bit of Santa Claus coming early for Grosse Pointe Shores,” Poloni told the council. Williams was the only child of Jack G. and Gwen B. Williams, of Grosse Pointe Shores. Jack Williams served as the Shores Village Council president from 1954 to 1964, making him the longest-tenured council president — or, since the Shores became a city, mayor — until Mayor Ted Kedzierski, who has served as the city’s top elected official since 2011. “The only stipulation (on the gift) is that it be used for improvement of the park,” said Poloni, who asked that the council earmark the funds for the pool. A graduate of Grosse Pointe University School — now University Liggett School — and Mount Vernon Junior College in Washington, D.C., Carole Ann Williams died May 23, 2023, at the age of 84. Her obituary said she worked in the events department for the Hudson’s department store for many years and was a member of the Junior League of Detroit and Sigma Gamma Association, as well as a former member of the

South girls hockey eyeing state finals return, rematch with hometown rival BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

FARMS — As far as the Michigan high school girls hockey record books date back, one thing has remained constant — Grosse Pointe South girls hockey has been a perennial powerhouse in Division 1. Earning 13 state championships since 1997, including three back-to-back state title seasons and one three-peat, South’s long-standing tradition of competing on the state finals stage tends to be a recurring theme year in and year out. Only one thing has changed for the Blue Devils in recent years — they’re no longer the team people are pointing to as the dynasty in Division 1. Four state championships since 2010 is still a feat most teams would cherish, including their most recent championships in 2015 and 2018, but a runner-up finish last season in a state championship loss to three-time defending champion and hometown rival Grosse Pointe Woods University Liggett has South eager for a state title. “The Grosse Pointe South hockey community is just really supportive, and they’ve always been successful,” South coach Alexis Bohlinger said. “I think that brings in kids that want to play and want to win. We really want a state championship, obviously.” Liggett and South are currently ranked the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the state, respectively, according to myhockeyrankings.com, and South has inched closer and closer to beating its rival this season.

CITY — The Grosse Pointe Public Safety Department has a new tool to fight crime. The department is getting two drones from Troy-based American Air Operations LLC, along with training and related equipment, at a cost of $71,980.20. However, because the City’s nonprofit Grosse Pointe City Foundation is paying for all of it, Public Safety Director John Alcorn said this equipment is coming to them at no cost to the municipality. Alcorn said the drones can be used for everything from searching for a larceny suspect or a missing child to getting a better view of a roof or the Neff Park marina, as might be needed during a fire. “It serves a great purpose,” City Manager Joseph Valentine said. “Perhaps more importantly, this technology is coming to the city at no cost of our own.” Valentine said employees with the Department of Public Works will also be trained on the drone in case they need it for inspections or the like. Alcorn said one of the drones will be kept on the roof of the Public Safety Department building and the second one will be in a patrol vehicle, so either of them can be

deployed quickly whenever needed. He said one of the advantages of these drones is that they have thermal imaging capability, so they can find a person who might be trying to stay concealed from police at night. “The bad guys have an advantage — they can hide from us,” Alcorn told the Grosse Pointe City Council during a meeting Nov. 20. “It’s a great tool. I can’t say enough about it.” He said the drone can be controlled via cellphone. “We can launch it from the station in real time,” Alcorn said. The City’s drone purchase comes after the Grosse Pointe Farms Public Safety Department acquired similar equipment. “I know they’ve had great success with theirs,” City Councilman Christopher Walsh said of the Farms. Mayor Sheila Tomkowiak asked if this would change any ongoing costs to the department. Alcorn responded that it wouldn’t, as the costs for training and the like were included in the purchase. “We’re going to have everyone trained on it,” Alcorn said of the drones. The council voted unanimously in favor of approving the purchase Nov. 20. Call Staff Writer K. Michelle Moran at (586) 498-1047.

WOODS — A veteran member of the Grosse Pointe Woods Public Safety Department has earned a new badge and a new rank. Officer Kyle Seidel was sworn into office as a newly minted sergeant by Woods City Clerk Paul Antolin during a Dec. 4 City Council meeting. Seidel, 43, has been with the department for almost 21 years. “I’m excited for it,” Seidel said of becoming a sergeant. “The hard work finally paid off. I look forward to being a supervisor.” Public Safety Director John Kosanke said Seidel “has been a dedicated member of the Grosse Pointe Woods Public Safety Department” throughout his career. He said Seidel earned an associate degree in law enforcement from Macomb Community College, and he was trained at the Macomb County police and fire academies. Seidel has worn many hats in the department, including being a field training

officer, school resource officer, bicycle patrol member, evidence technician and firearms instructor, Kosanke said. “Officer Seidel has worked diligently throughout the years doing various training,” Kosanke said, noting that Seidel has served as a certified firearms instructor and Remington 870 and Glock armorer. He has studied topics including crime prevention through environmental design, rapid intervention team operations, sex crimes investigation, trench rescue awareness and nomadic and transient criminals training. From 2020 to 2022, Seidel was a member of the detective bureau. “Prior to that appointment, Officer Seidel had been known to undertake investigations and surveillance to solve cases on his own, without any direction,” Kosanke said. Besides his work for the department, Kosanke said Seidel has done quite a bit of volunteering, including for Special Olympics. A former trustee, sergeant at arms and secretary for the Fraternal Order of Police 102 Lodge, Seidel is currently on the FOP’s fundraising and events committee. See SEIDEL on page 19A

Farms consolidates polling locations

Starting with the presidential primary election on Feb. 27, 2024, Grosse Pointe Farms will be consolidating its five election precincts to a single location — The War Memorial, at 32 Lake Shore Road in the Farms. The Farms City Council unanimously approved the change during a Nov. 13 City Council meeting. The Farms is the latest Pointe to relocate all its polling locations to one site. Grosse Pointe Park did so starting with its August 2022 primary, when it moved all its precincts to Windmill Pointe Park.

Nonprofit receives grant

The Helm at the Boll Life Center in Grosse Pointe Farms was recently named as the recipient of a $25,000 Michigan Nonprofit Relief Fund grant, awarded by the Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity. The $35 million Michigan Nonprofit Relief Fund was created from American Rescue Plan Act dollars given to the state to support Michigan-based nonprofits with annual revenues of under $1 million that were able to show expenditures and losses incurred after March 3, 2021, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. “The population The Helm serves was greatly impacted by COVID-19. Literally overnight we had to figure out how to provide services in a new, safe way to seniors in Harper Woods and the Grosse Pointes,” Helm Executive Director Krista Siddall said in a press release. “We needed to revise our protocols for Meals on Wheels, medical escort driver program, medical loan closet, assistance and wellness checks and congregate lunches and more. We had to cancel our emerging and growing evening programs. We are grateful to both the Michigan Nonprofit Relief Fund and the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity for this grant that allows us to reinvigorate our programming and expand our services. We are proud to serve our community. This grant will help with the growing needs of our organization as well as day to day operations.”

Classes offered

The Helm at the Boll Life Center, 158 Ridge Road in Grosse Pointe Farms, is offering a number of classes at its building that are offered through Wayne County Community College District. The classes — which are free to Wayne County residents ages 60 and older — start the week of Jan. 15 and include Body Alignment, Beginning Conversational French, Intermediate French, Awesome Abs, intermediate and beginning sign language, Egyptian Belly Dancing, and Crocheting for Beginners. Registration is required and can be made by visiting helmlife.org or calling (313) 882-9600.

Protect hair and skin during aging

The Helm at the Boll Life Center, 158 Ridge Road in Grosse Pointe Farms, will offer a presentation by Dr. German Treyger, of St. Clair Dermatology, on the ways years of sun and wind exposure can impact the hair and skin from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Jan. 24. The presentation will include information on how to keep skin healthy and how to tackle age-related hair loss. It’s part of The Helm’s Lunch & Learn series. The cost is $6 for Helm members and $8 for nonmembers. Registration is required and can be made by visiting helmlife.org or calling (313) 882-9600.

University of Michigan cornerback Will Johnson, a Grosse Pointe South High School graduate, was named defensive player of the game during Michigan’s 34-13 win over the University of Washington in the College Football Playoff national championship on Jan. 8.

South graduate Will Johnson named defensive player of the game for Michigan

On the brightest stage of his young career at the University of Michigan, sophomore cornerback Will Johnson showcased why he’s one of the top defensive backs in the country. Johnson, a Grosse Pointe South High School graduate, helped lead Michigan to a 34-13 win over the University of Washington in the College Football Playoff national championship game with a crucial interception to open the second half, earning defensive player of the game honors. Washington trailed 17-10 with possession to open the third quarter as Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. dropped back to pass, but the Michigan pass rush forced an errant throw by the future NFL quarterback. Penix threw it up to the left sideline as Johnson rushed in to make the play in front of the Huskies receiver, catching it, bobbling it, and finally diving to secure possession near the sideline for Michigan to take over at the Washington 32. Michigan would kick a field goal to make it a two-possession game. Michigan earned its first national championship since the 1997 season, when Pro Football Hall of Famer Charles Woodson donned the No. 2 jersey for Michigan, which Will Johnson currently wears. Woodson gave a shout out to Johnson last season on social media during Michigan’s 43-22 win over Purdue University in the 2022 Big Ten Championship after Johnson tallied two interceptions, posting, “Is that a deuce with a pick” and “The deuce is loose” in reference to Johnson’s performance. Now, like Woodson, Johnson will forever be a part of history at Michigan. In an interview with C&G Newspapers back in February of 2023, Johnson spoke to the culture of Michigan and what they try to build as a team. “I think the culture here is just, ‘Work hard,’” Johnson said. “The responsibility you have and the commitment to the program really is a commitment to hard work, and we’re definitely going to have fun while we do it. I think that’s what it’s all about; we’re committed to each other and we all got genuine love for each other and the program. We’re all on the same page, and I think that’s what’s going to make us successful.” Safe to say Johnson has been a key contributor to the Michigan culture, and will continue to be next season when he returns as Michigan’s top defensive player. — JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK

Detective Sgt. Jeremy Pittman said the man is fine and sustained no injuries during the incident. Within an hour, Pittman said, police were able to track the Escalade to an abandoned home in Detroit, where it had been dumped. Pittman said police also found two other vehicles in that same area that had been stolen during recent carjackings elsewhere. Pittman said Park detectives were working with the Detroit Police Department’s auto theft task force on this case. Bostock said that besides help from Detroit police, the Public Safety Department was also assisted by Michigan State Police and the FBI. “We’ve had some great support,” Bostock said. Carjacking is a serious offense; conviction carries a potential life sentence in

Michigan, although it’s not clear whether the juvenile suspects in this case might be facing the same type of sentencing. It’s not common in the Park, but it has happened before; Pittman estimated the department had seen about three carjackings within the last five or six years. “It was just a crime of opportunity,” Pittman said. He advised residents to always be aware of their surroundings and to call police immediately if they see someone suspicious hanging around in the shadows or in an alley. The crime occurred in the city’s Kercheval business district, which is usually busy and well patrolled by police. Bostock said they stepped up patrols in the district after this incident. “Hopefully we’ve sent a strong message that crime’s not allowed here,” Mayor Michele Hodges said. Call Staff Writer K. Michelle Moran at (586) 498-1047.

South is currently 0-1-1 against Liggett this year with a 3-3 tie and 2-1 loss, but Bohlinger, who graduated from Liggett in 2005, said the team is playing with a different type of attitude this season. “There’s a lot of feelings there,” Bohlinger said. “The air feels different in the rink when we play Liggett for sure. I think our girls are not so much playing on their heels anymore when we play Liggett. They know they can compete and they know they have the skill, and now they’re kind of realizing, ‘Hey, we can win this.’ It’s everyone moving towards a common goal, and it’s really nice and happening really naturally.” South’s confidence in its performances against Liggett has been contagious this season throughout the locker room, and senior Sophia Reynolds said the team feels it’s in the best spot. “We all say, ‘Ugh, we hate Liggett; we’re gonna get them next year,’” Reynolds said. “This year, I think we’re going to get them because we’re getting really, really close.” Outside of the South-Liggett matchups, South is dominating the opposition to the tune of an 11-1-1 record while outscoring opponents 80-14. The Blue Devils have an experienced senior class of Reynolds (D), Tia Kosmas (D), Lyssabeth Moody (F), Ruby Verlinden (F) and Gabrielle Vosburg (F), but also brought in a talented corps of first-year, club hockey newcomers with seniors Anne Wayman (F) and Maeve Hix (F), juniors Abigail Evans (F) and Molly Reynolds (D), sophomore Audrey Reynolds (D), and freshmen Tinley Gram (F) and Rachel Farago (D). “I think we got a lot of talented girls that came to the team this year and they all got really good attitudes,” Sophia Reynolds said. “They’re all ready to go.” Evans and Wayman lead the way with 20 points each as Evans carries the team high in goals (13) and Wayman carries the team high in assists (12), while junior goaltender

Grosse Pointe South senior Gabrielle Vosburg, right, keeps the puck away from senior Sophia Reynolds, left, during a team drill. Rosie Smith, a first team all-state selection last season, has been stellar in net for the Blue Devils this season with a 0.90 goals against average. Junior Frances Ring has also manned the net this season as the primary backup for South. Sophia Reynolds, an all-state honorable mention honoree last season, is especially excited for the new talent this season with both of her cousins, Audrey and Molly, joining the team. The trio has never shared the ice together, but that doesn’t stop them from having a different type of chemistry when playing together. “Sometimes I like to joke that we have some sort of cousin telepathy between the three of us,” Sophia Reynolds said. Molly leads the Reynolds pack with 16 points on the season while Sophia (7) and Audrey (6) have both put together reliable contributions. You wouldn’t know from Molly Reynolds’ seven goals that she’s a vital part of the back line, but Bohlinger said

she’s one of the best when it comes to controlling the puck. “She’s an offensive defenseman,” Bohlinger said. “We had to pull the reins on her a little bit because she’d rush in on a penalty kill, but she’s very skilled. She’s hands-down probably the best puck handler. Between her and Anne Wayman, they’re probably the best puck handlers on the team. She’s very skilled. She could be a center or defenseman.” Audrey, Molly and Sophia Reynolds aren’t the only ones with a special type of on-ice chemistry, as sophomore forward Ruby Lenhard and junior forward Isabella Peruski, who are stepsisters, have been lighting up the stat sheet together. Lenhard came out of the gate hot last season, earning an all-state honorable mention as a freshman, and has continued to impress this season with 14 points so far while Peruski has added 15 on the year. “She’s (Lenhard) got a really high hockey IQ, and even last year when she came in as a freshman,” Bohlinger said. “Her and her stepsister, Bella Peruski, are always on a line together. They kind of just have this connection where they just make really smart plays.” Other key South contributors in the points department are Moody (12), Hix (12), sophomore forward Evelyn Wodzisz (12), Vosburg (9), Gram (9), sophomore forward Ana Zieleniewski (9), and sophomore defenseman Charlie Harr (8). South is getting contributions all over the roster, and the expectation is the added depth and talent will translate to another shot at a Division 1 state title. As important as winning and having state championship goals are at South, the team also emphasized the enjoyment of being a team and having fun. “It’s really fun to play for your school and have all your friends watch your games,” Molly Reynolds said. “Our school newspaper does little stories on the sports, and sports have always been important for our school. It’s really fun to be a part of it.” Call Staff Writer Jonathan Szczepaniak at (586) 4981090.

ST. CLAIR SHORES — “Teddy’s Law” was recently passed as state law in Michigan, and those who worked on the bill package are excited for what it means for animals throughout the state. State Sen. Kevin Hertel, D-St. Clair Shores, said the package of bills was signed into state law on Dec. 13, 2023, and went into effect immediately. Hertel said he’s thankful his colleagues allowed that to happen. According to the state documents, the bills were sponsored by both Hertel and state Sen. Dayna Polehanki, D-Livonia. “Taken together, the bills would require a research facility to first offer a dog or cat that would otherwise be euthanized to an animal shelter for adoption and prescribe administrative fines for failing to do so,” a Senate Fiscal Agency summary from June stated. “They would provide research facilities and shelters with civil liability immunity in the transfer of the animals.” Hertel said his bill, Senate Bill 149, sets up the requirements for the adoption while Polehanki’s bill, Senate Bill 148, sets up reporting mechanisms and penalties “for those that do not obey by the law.” Hertel said he started working on the bill around 2017 or 2018 when he was still in the Michigan House of Representatives. He met with St. Clair Shores City Council-

man Dave Rubello as well as the Humane Society of the United States. He said there wasn’t much movement in the state House at the time. He also said they did get a committee hearing once but it was not taken up for a vote. “But it was always a priority for us and so we continued to work on it and thankfully as I moved over to the Senate and this legislative session we were able to get the support of both the committee chairs in the Senate and the House and move the bills forward,” Hertel said. Rubello said the bill will save thousands of cats and dogs that go through laboratories from being destroyed. Teddy the beagle, the namesake of the law, was adopted by Rubello, who works at C & G Newspapers. “These bills introduced will now make it possible for them to live in regular homes and stuff,” Rubello said. “Be adopted out through special adoption agencies for dogs and cats. So, great feeling. It’s been a threeyear fight, and a lot of people worked hard.” He went on to say the Humane Society of the United States worked hard on the bill with him and he gave a special thanks to Hertel. The law started when a group of 36 beagles were released from a laboratory, with 32 of those beagles being adopted out. Rubello said an undercover investigator went into a laboratory, filmed what they were doing and See TEDDY’S LAW on page 13A

revealed to the public what was going on in the lab. He said there were fights between a major company, who hired the laboratory, and the Humane Society of the United States to get the dogs released. He also said he located 27 of the 32 beagles that were released, and he got the owners involved in the case as well. “First-time-ever case,” Rubello said. “But the nice thing about it is it’s great to be part of something that will change the lives of families, certainly save thousands and thousands of test animals, cats and dogs. And it’s great to make a difference.” Blake Goodman, the state director of the Humane Society of the United States, said the group conducted the undercover investigation in 2019. “That was released to the public with footage (from the) undercover investigator of what those dogs went through,” Goodman said. Goodman said they’ve done a number of the investigations, with the largest being in Virginia, where around 4,000 beagles were rescued from a facility in 2022. The beagles were placed in shelters across the country and the Humane Society of the United States helped those beagles get adopted. Goodman said, so far, there have been 16 states with similar laws enacted, with Iowa being the most recent before Michigan. “We’re pretty proud of this work,” Goodman said. “It represents a good first step in a lot of states to moving on from ani-

mal testing. We really think it’s the least that labs could do.” He said he’s excited Teddy’s Law was passed. “We’re thrilled,” Goodman said. “Teddy’s Law is the biggest, the most consequential animal protection legislation to be passed since 2019. With this new legislature in charge, animal issues are finally getting a look in.” He also said it gives people in his field hope that Michigan is turning in a positive direction. He said his gratitude goes to Hertel and Polehanki. Hertel is excited that the bills became state law. “This has been a priority for my office both in the house and now in the senate for a while to get this accomplished,” Hertel said. “And really because we know the impact it will have on animals across the state to make sure they’re going to loving homes.” He also said in recent history this is one of the most “monumental bills to pass for animal rights here in the state of Michigan.” “I think it’s important that folks know that these dogs will be available, dogs and cats will be available for adoption, and I look forward to so many (going) into loving homes across our state,” Hertel said.

colors are exquisite. They’re quintessential watercolors.” This isn’t a retrospective — unlike LaChiusa’s 2018 exhibition at the Anton Art Center in Mount Clemens. It is, however, a chance for local residents and LaChiusa’s former students to see a good sampling of some of her more recent pieces, alongside some older ones. “This is a celebration of her and her being a very giving member of the Grosse Pointe community,” Zurvalec said. The exhibition comes on the heels of LaChiusa’s latest honor. In June 2023, the Michigan Water Color Society gave her a Lifetime Achievement Award; she’s only the second artist the group has chosen to honor this way. “I was very amazed and very thrilled. I thought they’d made a mistake,” LaChiusa said with a laugh. Rocco Pisto, president emeritus of the Michigan Water Color Society, said the award is well-deserved. “She does very nice work,” Pisto said. “Her work is very representational, with this feeling of mystical imagery.”

Growing up in the Cleveland area, LaChiusa was drawn to art as a child. When she was 9, her beloved Aunt Pauline enrolled her in an art program at the Cleveland Museum of Art. She would go on to attend the Cleveland School of Art and the Cleveland Institute of Art, where she majored in sculpture and met her first husband, Sy LaChiusa, an abstract artist. The couple moved to Detroit in 1959. Her aunt wasn’t an artist, “but she understood dreams,” LaChiusa said. When she got to high school — Lima South in Lima, Ohio — LaChiusa said her school didn’t have an art program, but the drama teacher there — Frances Boyer — wanted her to have a place to work and invited LaChiusa to use the school’s supply of art materials, which were sitting untouched. “She acquisitioned a back room for me,” LaChiusa said. “The principal didn’t know. He wouldn’t allow me to take any (art) classes.” Her parents were opposed to her desire to become an artist. Her mother wanted her to be a doctor and her father — who LaChiusa said was “very much for women’s rights” — wanted her to go into business. At the library, LaChiusa found information about a scholarship program at the Cleveland Institute of Art, and with help

herself. Her college watercolor class consisted of a professor who was largely absent and had the students paint on their own, without the benefit of instruction. Zurvalec said LaChiusa’s technique — using a wet brush on wet paper — creates images that are “so soft.” She has been sharing her knowledge with others for decades. LaChiusa has taught classes at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial — now The War Memorial — as well as the Birmingham-Bloomfield Art Center in Birmingham, Anton Art Center and elsewhere. Many residents of the Pointes got introduced to LaChiusa through her long-running program on the now-defunct Grosse Pointe cable station — housed at The War Memorial — where she filmed a watercolor See LACHIUSA on page 15A

from Boyer, she secretly assembled a portfolio and applied for it — and received it. “When I brought the letter to my parents, they were furious,” LaChiusa said. They initially wouldn’t even sign the letter that would enable LaChiusa to accept the scholarship and go to art school, but they eventually relented. “Once I got to art school, it was incredible,” LaChiusa said. LaChiusa continued to create while her four children — sons Drew, Dean and Dane, and daughter Syd, her second oldest — were young, but her art career began to soar in the 1980s as she started to show her work, landing her first solo show in 1983 at the Carriage House Club in Detroit. Interestingly, for someone so known for her watercolors, LaChiusa essentially taught

workshop demonstration program from 1987 until 2001. “I remember when we first moved to Grosse Pointe — I turn on the TV and there’s Carol, demonstrating how to paint,” Zurvalec said. “I suspect a lot of people in Grosse Pointe were inspired by her and learned to paint because of her.” That was certainly the case for artist Jackie Rybinski, of Grosse Pointe Farms. Rybinski said she studied ceramics at Wayne State University, but it was LaChiusa who inspired her to try her hand at watercolor when she was in her 40s. “That’s how I started painting — I saw her on TV,” Rybinski said. “I thought, ‘I’ll try that — she makes it look so easy.’ Little did I know,” she concluded with a laugh. Rybinski would go on to study with LaChiusa. While LaChiusa is no longer officially leading classes, artists say they — and others — continue to learn from her. Rybinski and two other artists took a painting trip to France with LaChiusa in 2019. While they were in Paris, Rybinski said, every morning LaChiusa would be outside painting while she sipped coffee, and people would often stop to talk to her about what she was doing — including parents with children. “She’s always teaching,” Rybinski said. While she’s been blessed with undeniable artistic skill, LaChiusa’s life has been marked by profound loss. Her oldest child, Drew — who would have turned 70 last year — died on Christmas Eve in 1968 when he was only 15; he had been

Drew, who was a fine artist, inspired LaChiusa to approach War Memorial officials about offering art classes in 1969. “It was because of him I started teaching young people at the War Memorial, because I wasn’t a teacher (by training),” LaChiusa said. LaChiusa has also lost both of her spouses. Sy LaChiusa died in 1992 and real estate company owner Paris DiSanto — who she said was “very supportive” of her art career — died in December 2016. “Adversity and sadness probably created a joy of life in

me, made me want to help others,” LaChiusa said. Sons Dane and Dean followed in their mother’s creative footsteps; Dean is a filmmaker and artist, while Dane is a painter. About half of the images that will be in this show are examples of LaChiusa’s plein-air work, which means they’re painted outdoors in the moment. “I take paints and sketchbooks everywhere I go,” LaChiusa said. Some works start as plein-air pieces and are completed later in her home studio. “I don’t take photographs,” LaChiusa said. “I (paint) these from memories and sketches.” This exhibition, which is expected to include about 25 framed works along with additional unframed pieces, will showcase some of LaChiusa’s favorite paintings. She has painted all over the world. A Christian, LaChiusa said her faith plays a key part in her painting. “I do it because I need to do it,” LaChiusa said of painting. “When I paint, I feel (God’s) spirit. If I don’t feel it, I don’t paint.” Artists and former students are excited to see LaChiusa’s new show — and what she might create next. “She’s done a lot,” Rybinski said. “She’s a hero to a lot of us.” Grosse Pointe Congregational Church is located at 240 Chalfonte Ave. in Grosse Pointe Farms. Besides the opening and closing receptions, the gallery is open to the public on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., or by appointment.

Highland Park, which formerly operated its own water treatment plant to provide clean drinking water to its residents, shared an intake line with the Farms into Lake St. Clair. Lake water was pumped from the Farms intake — located on the Farms water treatment plant property — to Highland Park’s own water treatment facility. The Highland Park water treatment plant was shuttered by the state in 2012, which is when the city started getting its drinking water from what is now the Great Lakes Water Authority, or GLWA. Many other municipalities also purchase their drinking water from the GLWA, including Harper Woods, Grosse Pointe Woods, Grosse Pointe Shores and Grosse Pointe Park. The Farms uses its own water treatment plant to provide drinking water to its residents and to residents of Grosse Pointe City. The Farms and City do, however, use GLWA to dispose of their sewage, as do all the other Pointes and Harper Woods. “For more than a decade, the residents of Grosse Pointe Farms have paid to maintain the pumping station abandoned by Highland Park,” Farms Mayor Louis Theros said in a prepared statement after the bill was approved. “I thank Governor Whitmer, Senator Hertel and the state legislature for providing much-deserved relief to our community.

Poloni said city staff had already been meeting with the Grosse Pointe Shores Improvement Foundation to discuss a pool project, and they plan on meeting with

other stakeholders in the next couple of months and to start fundraising. It wasn’t known at press time how much a new pool would cost the city. Installation is complicated by the fact that Osius Park was created with fill dirt and movement by Lake St. Clair creates pressure on the pool walls. “We were excited to accept it,” Poloni said of the gift from the trust. He said the city would be recognizing Carole Ann Williams and the Williams family for their generosity. Call Staff Writer K. Michelle Moran at (586) 498-1047.

has been a long time coming, but this collaborative effort underscores the power of state and local government working together.” The funding was included in the bill as a public infrastructure grant. “We’re really pleased and thankful that Sen. Hertel included new legislation to provide funds for the maintenance of joint infrastructure in Grosse Pointe Farms with Highland Park,” Farms City Manager Shane Reeside said. “For the last several years, we’ve continued to maintain joint infrastructure like intakes and our wet wells and things of that sort.” In the past, he said Highland Park had shared those maintenance costs with the Farms. The state grant will “provide reimbursement for some of the costs” the Farms has incurred, Reeside said. He added that the city also hopes to use some of the funds for capital projects, such as replacing concrete at their wet well. However, while city officials welcome the funding, it won’t address future maintenance expenses. “In a sense, it makes us whole (for the moment) and provides (for) capital improvements,” Reeside said. “It does not provide a solution long-term because, obviously, those structural (elements) will need to be maintained in the future.” The bill, now a public act, is slated to take effect Feb. 13.

CRIME

WATCH Tire-slasher sought

WOODS — A resident in the 1700 block of Huntington Boulevard appears to be the victim of a vengeful Instacart delivery person’s friend. According to a police report, the victim had been told a woman was going to be delivering her order at around 9:15 p.m. Jan. 4, but instead a man in a burgundy minivan was dropped off at her home with the delivery. When she asked about the original delivery person — who the victim believes was the driver of the minivan — she said the male told her, “Oh, that’s my girl.” The victim said her food order was incorrect, so she gave the female delivery driver a critical review on Instacart. A few hours later, the victim saw the man who had actually delivered her order standing next to her

vehicle; she told police he was wearing the same clothes he had on earlier that day. She said the male then took off running east on Huntington. When the victim went outside at around 5:30 a.m. Jan. 5, she discovered that her front driver’s side tire was flat after having been punctured by a sharp object. Anyone with more information can call (313) 343-2400.

Larcenies, acts of vandalism under investigation

PARK — Police said a number of vehicle windows were broken and some had had contents removed by an unknown suspect or suspects between the hours of 11:30 p.m. Jan. 6 and 4:23 a.m. Jan. 7 in the 1100 block of Bishop Road and the 1100 and 1200 blocks of Harvard Road. A potential suspect vehicle — described in a report as a white Hyundai, possibly a stolen vehicle — was seen in the area at the time these in-

cidents were occurring, but the vehicle fled from police at a high rate of speed when officers tried to pull it over. Anyone with more information about any of these incidents can call (313) 822-7400.

Moped stolen

WOODS — An unknown suspect is said to have stolen a moped while it was parked behind a business in the 20300 block of Mack Avenue at around 3 p.m. Jan. 6. The victim told police that a patron came into the store and commented on the moped. Several hours later, the victim said he heard the moped engine fire up, and as he ran to the back of the business, he saw a person who appeared to be the patron from earlier in the day driving away on it. Police said a witness saw the moped traveling down Country Club Drive, where it was followed by a four-wheeler. The victim told police he saw his moped as being listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace, along with the four-wheeler. Any-

one with more information can call (313) 343-2400.

CITY — An unknown suspect is said to have stolen a Surron e-bike, Nami Burn e-scooter and an assortment of DeWalt tools — for a total loss of more $12,000 worth of goods — from an unlocked garage and shed in the 400 block of Notre Dame Street sometime between Dec. 9 and Jan. 3.

COMEDY SHOW IS NO LAUGHING MATTER BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

WARREN — When comedian Billy Reno performed last year at Malone’s Tavern for the first time, the show tickled the funny bone of the audience. “They were really into it,” the Shelby Township resident said. “It was fantastic. It was a packed house.” Since the show went over so well, Malone’s is hosting another night of comedy on Jan. 13. Although Reno is not scheduled to perform, he has organized an evening with four comedians who promise to bring their best punchlines: Kate Brindle, Alana Gonzalez, Tonya Murray and Daniel Grinnell. “We all need to laugh, and Detroit has such an underrated comedy scene,” Reno said. “I put it up there with Chicago and L.A.” The Malone’s show is for comedy fans 18 and older. Showtime is 8:30 p.m. The comedians, set to perform for about 25 minutes each, will bring their own wisecracks to the stage. Grinnell has cut his comedic chops in such clubs as The Morrie Birmingham and The Independent Comedy Club in Hamtramck. Gonzalez has been making audiences laugh for more than two decades by touching upon subjects that include parenting, relationships and modern womanhood. Murray, a budding star in the Midwest

Murray has performed at Gilda’s LaughFest and opened for Dave Attell, Jeff Ross and Jim Norton. Whether she’s performing in a bar setting or a church, Brindle always brings her energy and her one-liners. “I think there is so much stress in life, and we all just need a break,” said Brindle, who grew up in Dexter. “I think laughter is so cathartic and it can unite us. We’re all strangers at the beginning (of the show) and laugh and come together.” The comic’s jokes often center around her role as a mother, her parents and “some of the silly things” fans have said to her after a show. Brindle, who has opened for Michael Che from “Saturday Night Live,” said going into comedy “was the last thing I would do.” “I like to kind of challenge myself to do scary things,” she said. So one night she performed a five-min-

ute routine at an open mic night. That was enough to put the bug in her. “I just fell in love with it,” Brindle said. “I love performing. The comedy clubs in Michigan are really welcoming. There’s a lot of improv moments. No one show is the same.”

Brindle has a goal of performing in all 50 U.S. states. So far, she’s at No. 47. One highlight was performing at Pine Knob in Clarkston with Sarah Silverman on the bill. “It was really cool to be on the same poster with the people I’m a huge fan of,” Brindle said. Like Brindle, Reno also got hooked on performing after he got his first laugh on stage. He lists Brian Regan and Bobby Collins among his favorite comedians, and feels most at home in smaller clubs. “Comedy works best in an intimate setting,” Reno said. “When you’re close, everyone can see your facial expressions.” Malone’s Tavern is located at 32350 Van Dyke Ave. For tickets, visit eventbrite. com and click on the “find events” page.

Seidel

The Grosse Pointe Woods City Council congratulated new Public Safety Sgt. Kyle Seidel, who’s pictured with the council, his wife and children, and Public Safety Director John Kosanke.

from page 6A

“You’ve been with us for a long time,” City Councilwoman Vicki Granger said. “Thank you so much (for your service).” A decorated officer, Seidel has received multiple awards, including department commendations for “outstanding work as an evidence technician” and, separately, the investigation into, and arrest of, a suspect wanted on numerous outstanding warrants, Kosanke said. “I am proud to promote Officer Seidel to the rank of sergeant,” Kosanke said. “He is someone who has always treated his co-workers with respect, is reliable and dependable, and has always presented himself as someone who truly cares about his job and

the people he works with as well as the residents he works for.” Some of Seidel’s family members and friends were on hand for the swearing-in, in-

cluding his wife, Jessica Seidel, who pinned his new badge on his uniform. Call Staff Writer K. Michelle Moran at (586) 498-1047.

In Loving Remembrance Diane Fredal Colquhoun Dr. Diane Fredal Colquhoun of Battle Creek and formerly of Grosse Pointe went to be with Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Tuesday, December 5, 2023. She will be profoundly missed by her family and a wide circle of friends. Diane is survived by her 3 loving children, Peter, Gillian and Brigitte; her mother Frances (nee Arditto) Fredal, her siblings Carol (Roger) Abiragi, Janet (Bruce) Wyman, Thomas (Ann) Fredal, Susan (Bill) Tuinier, Patricia (Gianluigi) Visentin and her countless adoring nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her father, Dr. Joseph J. Fredal and husband, Dr. Jeffrey P. Colquhoun. Born Diane Marie Fredal on April 24,1957 to Joseph and Frances at St. Joseph Hospital in Mt. Clemens, she grew up in a large loving family, the third of six children, on picturesque Cottontail Lane in Shelby Township, Michigan. One of the earliest highlights of the family was listening to her sing, accompanied on the piano by her beloved father. Hers was a gifted, sweet alto voice, which she often raised in harmony with her sister Suzie. Known as Didi to those closest, she found joy in learning traditional skills from her mother, especially knitting, sewing, canning, and mastering her famous homemade pies. By the tender age of eight, she was already earning blue ribbons at the Armada Fair. She dearly cherished the simplicity of that homespun upbringing and carried it throughout her life. Diane’s gift of song earned her lead roles in high school musicals, aptly cast every time - as the spirited Rosie in “Bye Bye Birdie,” the sassy Lucy in “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown,” and as Marian the Librarian who never gave up on love in “The Music Man.” Her adoring family

never missed a show. Diane’s wanderlust began with a high school summer exchange in the Netherlands, where in true form, she made life-long friendships. After graduating in 1975 as Valedictorian from Dwight D. Eisenhower High School, Diane earned dual bachelor’s degrees from the University of Michigan in 1979: a Bachelor of Arts in English and Bachelor of Science in Zoology. She was everenchanted by Shakespeare, Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and the wonderful world of children’s literature. At U of M, she spread friendship within the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Honors Society. While attending Wayne State Medical School, Diane providently found a study pal and running buddy in Jeff Colquhoun, with whom she created a deep bond of friendship. While there, she balanced her studies by singing in a local gospel choir and reading books to the neighborhood children who freely happened by. Diane’s explorative nature led her to medical school rotations in far-off Sri Lanka and England and to the beauty of Northern Michigan in Petoskey. She later backpacked through Europe, a journey culminating in exploring Northern Italy, the home of their beloved Grandmother Alice Arditto. Diane completed her residency in Internal Medicine at Bon Secours Hospital, diligently improving the quality of her patients’ lives. She first served as a staff physician in the Emergency Department and then in adult medicine at St. John Internal Medicine Clinic. While in Grosse Pointe, she formed a close friendship with Monsignor Canfield, and united her beautiful voice with the St. Paul on the Lake

choir. Fellow members of the Junior League of Detroit will remember her altruistic heart. Years later, after innocently exchanging Christmas cards, she reconnected with Jeff, who was not about to let slip this opportunity to steal his sweetheart’s hand. A first official date occurred at Thanksgiving, and sparked an eternal love. Jeff’s own key lime pie sealed the deal. After marrying at St. Paul in 1991, Jeff and Diane built their home in Battle Creek on Lake Goguac. Here, they started their family and dove into their medical careers, caringly attending to the ophthalmological and internal medicine needs of the community. Diane became known as a beautiful listener who brought a gentle kindness to every encounter. She was a devoted wife to Jeff and a loving mother to the three children with whom they were blessed. She was also known for her sweet stubbornness, attention to detail, and endless, open-armed hospitality. No one was a stranger to Diane. With her family, Diane lived out her sheer

love of outdoor sports. She was a willing and ever-ready captain of the boat for water skiing and tubing. Nothing thrilled her more than cheering on her children and friends and encouraging Jeff’s triathlons from the sidelines. She loved vacationing in the family retreat at Fort Myers Beach but felt most joy back home as a Master Gardener alongside Jeff taking care of the Colquhoun pole barn and farm, which they created for community use. The Annual Harvest Festivals the couple hosted there are legendary, creating memories of Clydesdale horse-drawn hayrides and country music bands. They shared their spirit of adventure with their children, making and visiting friends in Iceland, Greece, Africa and Alaska. Most importantly, Diane lived with her eyes eternally fixed on Our Lord. Baptized, she became His child, and she sought His signposts to guide her life. Her marriage and family were anchored in faith. With Jeff she thrived on giving to others with open hands. Together they embraced mission work both at home and abroad. With servants’ hearts, they worked to maintain an eye hospital in the small village of Zimba, Zambia, visiting for years, often times with their children. Their mission was to share the Good News of the Gospel and to work humbly at the service of Jesus, the great physician from whom all healing comes. Our Diane taught her family many life lessons as she showed great hope and courage during life’s joys and trials. Her love for Gillian and Brigitte was unflagging, her love for Peter unfailing. She showed the depths of her devotion to Jeff, tenderly caring for him in their home until he went to The Lord in 2021. For thirty years they wrote their story —one of selfgiving love that continues to touch the hearts of everyone who entered its inspiring pages. We would like to express our gratitude to the many friends touched by Diane over her lifetime for their care and support. Diane, may you rest in peace. You remain a bright light in our lives. Your family will love you forever and miss you dearly.

Woman kicked out of gym for yelling

STERLING HEIGHTS — Police went to a gym in the 37000 block of Van Dyke Avenue, north of Metropolitan Parkway, Dec. 3 after staff asked police to help evict a woman.

Police find no evidence of rapper on SUV

STERLING HEIGHTS — Police heard a tip about a man with a blue Nissan SUV who was allegedly “rapping and yelling at everyone” before climbing on the vehicle’s hood and “calling everyone” Dec. 2 near a restaurant in the 35000 block of Van Dyke Avenue, north of 15 Mile Road. When police arrived at the scene, they learned that the man wasn’t doing what the original complainant claimed. No further action was taken.

p.m. Nov. 29. The woman stated that earlier in the day, she noticed several items were missing from her garage. She reported that several tools and fishing poles had been stolen. The department’s detective bureau was investigating.

Rock thrown through window

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 2:41 a.m. Dec. 3, officers were dispatched to the 48000 block of Pineview Drive, near Dequindre and Hamlin roads, for a vandalism report. The caller told dispatch that someone had just thrown a rock through a window of his home. Officers arrived on the scene and saw the shattered window on the east side of the home. The value of the window was approximately $500, according to the police report. An evidence technician was called to the scene to gather evidence and take photographs. The case was turned over to the Shelby Township Police Department’s detective bureau for further investigation.

Driver arrested after crashing into ditch

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Officers were dispatched to 26 Mile Road and M-53 for a car that went off the road and into a ditch at 11:07 p.m. Dec. 4. Upon arrival, officers spoke to the driver of the vehicle and could smell the odor of intoxicants on the driver, the police report indicates. The driver was then placed through field sobriety tests. After completing the field sobriety tests, the driver was offered a preliminary breath test. The driver agreed to take it and the results were 0.24% blood alcohol content, police said. The driver was placed under arrest for operating while intoxicated, and her vehicle was impounded.

Property damage reported

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 12:22 a.m. Nov. 28, officers were dispatched to a storage facility located in the 48000 block of Ryan Road.

She said she noticed some of her strands of lights were not working on Nov. 30. When she went outside on Dec. 1 to set her timer, she noticed multiple lacerations to the strands that were not working. She did not have a suspect or cameras. The officer saw the damaged lights, and they appeared to have multiple clean cuts.

Items stolen from garage

Burglary reported

Storage unit broken into

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — A woman came into the Police Department to file a larceny report at 7:30

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 11:27 p.m. on Dec. 1, a report was made about a burglary or forced entry

that occurred on the same day in the 23000 block of Norcrest Drive. Upon arrival, the officer made contact with two witnesses, a 65-year-old man and a 36-year-old man. The 65-year-old man stated he went outside and saw a U-Haul truck backed up to the front door of a residence. He saw two people who looked to be in their late teens or early 20s, and when he said something to them, they got back in the truck and fled. The 65-year-old man picked up the 36-year-old man, who was also outside, and tried to follow the truck before losing sight of it. They returned to the location and saw a southwest bedroom window was broken on the east side of the house and called police. The 36-yearold man said he saw the truck’s owner on Gary Lane at least an hour prior to seeing it on Norcrest. He stated he eventually saw it on Edsel Ford Court. Officers cleared the house. The front door was ajar, and just inside the door was the kitchen stove, refrigerator and a large paper towel package. The house was empty and there was fresh damage in the kitchen from dragging appliances to the front of the house. The southeast bedroom window on the east side of the house was damaged and appeared to be the point of entry due to more pry marks and broken windowpanes. The witnesses were able to contact the owner who went to the location. The owner said there was no one living in the residence and that it was up for sale. She did not notice anything missing when she went through the house, just that the appliances were moved. One of the kitchen cabinets was destroyed and the line to the refrigerator was cut and leaking. The water was turned off and a report number was given to the woman. An evidence technician was called, and photos and fingerprints were taken. The officer made contact with another neighbor, a 35-year-old man, who reviewed his exterior home cameras. The cameras reportedly captured the U-Haul truck and two subjects arriving in the area on Gary Lane around 9 p.m., and the two subjects walking on Norcrest. The officer advised the man to save the footage.

Wanted driver arrested

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — A 21-year-old Detroit man who was pulled over in the area of Opal Street and Mack Avenue at 4:03 p.m. Dec. 7 for having an expired license plate — it had expired in September — found himself in police custody after a check of the Law Enforcement Information Network showed that he was wanted on several local traffic warrants and a no-extradition warrant out of Ohio for being armed and dangerous, and improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle/trafficking drugs, according to a police report. Police said the driver also had no

insurance and his license was suspended. His vehicle was impounded.

Frames filched

GROSSE POINTE WOODS — Two unknown women are said by police to have entered a store in the 19300 block of Mack Avenue on Dec. 3 and Dec. 6 and stolen eyeglass frames worth a total of more than $1,900. The suspects are said to have entered the business and not asked for assistance. An employee told police the suspects looked at store personnel to see if they were being watched. After the suspects left, employees discovered that frames were missing.

Assault alleged

GROSSE POINTE PARK — Police responded to a home in the 1300 block of Somerset Avenue at around 7:48 p.m. Dec. 2 regarding a fight between friends that is said to have become physically aggressive. According to a police report, a 65-yearold Detroit woman was arrested after she allegedly pushed, yelled at and assaulted a Grosse Pointe Park woman after an argument. The suspect, who could be facing assault and disorderly conduct charges, was arrested, cited and released.

Porch pirate strikes

GROSSE POINTE WOODS — An unknown suspect is said to have stolen the contents of a FedEx package after it was delivered to a home in the 2000 block of Lennon Street at 11:20 a.m. Dec. 6. The delivery driver took a photo of the package after it was dropped off at the house, but the victim said the contents were missing when she got home.

Driver found to be under influence of drugs

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — Police pulled over a 26-year-old Grosse Pointe City woman in the area of Mack Avenue and Opal Street at around 9:50 p.m. Dec. 4 for having illegally tinted windows. According to a police report, the driver also smelled of marijuana and admitted to using marijuana in her vehicle, and she became “argumentative and uncooperative” with police, cursing and yelling at officers and threatening to run them over. The driver allegedly made threats against the family members of officers as well. One officer on the scene also smelled alcohol on the driver’s breath, leading to field sobriety tests that the driver failed. The driver refused to take a preliminary breath test. She was arrested and is facing possible charges including being disorderly and operating under the influence of drugs. Police said they found a freshly burnt blunt under the driver’s seat, as well as a partially consumed bottle of NyQuil in the center cup holder.
