Why Keep

Chris Vitale on the St. Clair shores City Council?

“At each regularly scheduled City Council meeting there shall be set aside a period of public comment of at least two (2) minutes per person prior to City Council voting on matters requiring a vote at such meeting...” Passed by 90% vote of SCS Citizens in November 2020 “The City of St. Clair Shores is trying to make it a little easier for residents to add small sheds to their property ‘I am the one that brought this forward...‘ said Vitale. The amendments are meant to address prefabricated resin storage sheds.” Macomb Daily, November 18, 2021 By the metric of year-to-year sales price increase and shortest days on market, St. Clair Shores ranked ahead of every metro-Detroit area community except Dexter, MI. Hour Detroit Magazine, Top Towns from Five Counties, 2023

From cementing your right to speak; to making it easier to pour cement, l’m there for SCS residents. Small details like landscaping & construction materials. Bigger ideals like replacing infrastructure and being a good steward of tax-dollars. These are the qualities; shared by my peers on council, that have kept SCS a safe and desirable city. I want to keep THAT going and am excited to see where we can go!

ST. CLAIR SHORES SENTINEL • OCTOBER 25, 2023

It was rivalry weekend all around the state of Michigan, and the bragging rights for the city of St. Clair Shores were up for grabs on Oct. 13 at Lake Shore High School for the game against Lakeview.

Hometown rivalries are a unique dynamic because players that were once teammates and friends now represent their respective high schools, and all love is lost once the players take the field.

“I grew up playing with a lot of those guys, and their quarterback, Jordan Alston, was my little league quarterback,” Lakeview junior Eric Simmons said. “But when the first whistle is blown, all the friendships are out of the window until the final whistle.”

Behind four rushing touchdowns and an impressive defensive showing, Lakeview (6-2) earned the 28-8 win over Lake Shore (3-5). It was their sixth-straight win over the Shorians.

Senior running back Branden Harris continued his dominant senior campaign with two rushing touchdowns while senior Gary Winston and Simmons each tacked on a rushing touchdown in the win. Simmons had 13 carries for 119 yards while senior Tucker Weddle ran for 75 yards on 11 carries. Seniors David Osagiede and Keonte Woolf led the Huskies defensive effort. Lake Shore junior Cam’ron Flowers tallied the lone touchdown for the Shorians.

It was a much-needed victory for a Lakeview team who suffered a crushing 27-0 loss to Grosse Pointe South a week prior, which was a winner-takes-all matchup for the Macomb Area Conference White league title.

On Nov. 7, voters in the Lakeview Public Schools district will be asked to consider a replacement operating millage proposal in the amount of 21 mills, with 18 mills being the maximum levy, for the next 20 years.

According to the proposal language, the proposal “would, replace, restore and extend the authority of the School District to levy the statutory limit of 18 mills on all property, except principal residences and other property exempted by law which currently expires with the School District’s 2024 tax levy and allow the School District to continue to levy the statutory limit of 18 mills in the event of future Headlee rollbacks of up to 3 mills.”

“The authorization will allow the School District to continue to receive revenues at the full per pupil foundation allowance permitted by the State,” the proposal language reads.

Under the 1978 Headlee Amendment to the Michigan Constitution, if the tax base of a local unit of government is increased, the tax rate on that base must be proportionally reduced so property tax revenues will increase no more than the rate of inflation for that year.

The Headlee Amendment limited the amount of taxes a school district and other entities could collect as property values go up.

If a property value goes up too much, it will enact a Headlee rollback that decreases the levy, thus the amount of tax dollars collected through the millage, Lakeview Public Schools Superintendent Karl Paulson said.

“So this vote in November is to renew and replace lost millage from prior Headlee rollback,” Paulson said.

The amendment allows the district to ask for more mills than the allotted 18. Even with the increased amount of mills, the district will still only collect 18.

LOCAL COMMUNITIES AWARDED DTE ENERGY FOUNDATION TREE-PLANTING GRANT

METRO DETROIT — Several communities, schools and groups in Macomb, Wayne and Oakland counties have been awarded DTE Energy Foundation tree-planting grants.

According to an email sent by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the grants awarded total around $102,545. The funding and technical support, according to the email, are provided through a 27-year partnership between the DNR, DTE Energy Foundation and ReLeaf Michigan.

“Trees make our communities and neighborhoods beautiful, healthy and vibrant places,” Kevin Sayers, DNR Urban and Community Forestry program coordinator, said in the email. “This program promotes planting the right types of trees in the right places to ensure they stay healthy and provide benefits for all.”

The awardees in the C & G Newspapers coverage area are Birmingham, Grosse Pointe Woods, Huntington Woods, Madison Heights, Southfield, Sterling Heights, Lakeview Public Schools and the Macomb Cultural and Economic Partnership.

“ReLeaf Michigan and the Michigan DNR play a crucial role in maintaining, protecting and expanding our state’s natural resources, including urban forests,” DTE Foundation President Rodney Cole said in the email. “The DTE Foundation is thrilled to be part of that mission and to see how these new plantings benefit communities.”

Lakeview Public Schools teacher passes away ST. CLAIR SHORES — Lakeview High School social studies teacher Paul Goike died on Oct. 7 after a long battle with cancer.

Many people, including former students, family members and others, posted on his online tribute wall, reflecting on what Goike, 69, did for them and how he will be deeply missed.

Lakeview Public Schools Superintendent Karl Paulson said in an email he sends his condolences and prayers to the family, friends and loved ones.

“During his time at Lakeview, Paul demonstrated an exceptional commitment to academic excellence and instilled a love for learning in his students that will endure as a lasting legacy,” Paulson wrote. “His work with the Powder Puff teams for many years, kindness, patience and encouragement left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing him.”

Goike’s obituary and tribute wall can be found at www. henrymmalburg.com under obituaries.

Advertisements for the “You Can in Michigan” campaign aim to portray living and working in Michigan as attractive.

State ad campaign targets talent growth STATEWIDE — A new $20 million advertising campaign launched on Oct. 10 aims to bring talented individuals and companies to Michigan.

Dubbed the “You Can in Michigan” campaign, ads in the campaign aim to portray living and working in Michigan as attractive. The campaign includes television commercials, radio spots, print placements and social media postings. Helping the career-searching side of the campaign is themichiganlife.org website that utilizes AI to help applicants find the right job for them.

“Our growth depends on growing and attracting new talent to the state, which is why we’ve worked hard to invest in the kitchen table issues and pass welcoming policies — so anyone can ‘make it’ in Michigan,” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said in a release. “From our great quality of life, good cost of living, tuition-free pathways to technical and higher education, and extensive advanced manufacturing infrastructure to, as we like to say, ‘make stuff and grow stuff,’ we are excited to share our story and build a brighter future for our Michigan.”

The campaign has been in the works since fall 2022 and is a project of the state and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.

STATEWIDE — The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has announced its draft of new rules governing leashed dogs on state-managed lands.

The proposed amendment aims to bring the rules “into alignment with its original intent and reduce confusion for land users and law enforcement personnel,” according to a DNR statement.

Under the proposed rules, dogs on DNR-managed lands do not need to be leashed if they are being used for hunting or field trials, or if they are being trained for hunting.

The DNR hosted a public hearing for the rule changes on Oct. 19 and will accept further comments until 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 27. Email comments can be directed to rostm@michigan.gov and written mail can be sent to Department of Natural Resources, Legislative and Legal Affairs Office, ATTN: Legal Policy Specialist, PO Box 30028, Lansing, MI 489097528.

HSM accepting applications for grant program LANSING — The Historical Society of Michigan is accepting applications for its grant program. HSM will award the Michigan History Alliance grants in amounts ranging up to $2,500 to nonprofit, city or tribal HSM member history organizations that have annual operating budgets of less than $250,000.

The program is designed to provide grants for small to medium size historical organizations in Michigan through straightforward applications and reporting. Grant application forms are available on HSM’s website at hsmichigan.org/awards/mha-grant-program.

The form must be completed and mailed with the required documentation to HSM’s offices at Michigan History Alliance Grant Program, Historical Society of Michigan, 7435 Westshire Drive, Lansing, Michigan, 48917.

HSM will accept grant applications until 5 p.m. Nov. 10. Grant awards will be announced in January 2024.

‘THE ANGRY PUMPKIN’ IS A SPOOKY RIDE

BY MARIA ALLARD

allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — With his 1972 Pontiac Ventura, David Balkevitch celebrates Halloween all year long.

Whether he’s displaying the vintage model at the weekly Sandbaggers Bar & Grill car show in Center Line or speeding down the Lapeer International Dragway, the spooky holiday follows him.

Balkevitch and his wife, Annette, purchased the sunset-orange car when they married in 2012.

“The guy I got the car from called it ‘The Pumpkin’ because it’s orange,” Balkevitch said.

Balkevitch renamed it “The Angry Pumpkin” because of his early days with the car.

“I bought used parts for it,” the Center Line resident said. “They didn’t work with the car, so I called it ‘The Angry Pumpkin.’”

The moniker stuck, and a boo-tiful Halloweenmobile was created. Not only is the car orange — Halloween’s signature color — but Balkevitch displays the car as if it’s Oct. 31 every day.

Whenever he and Annette take the muscle car to a show or cruise, they add several creepy fixtures, including orange lights in the interior. Skeletons with jack-o’-lantern faces in the front and back seats look like they are ready for a “Monster Mash” up. The ghoulish mannequin in the driver’s seat even wears a racing jacket.

Also surrounding the ’72 Pontiac are

more jack-o’-lantern skeletons, including one dressed as an angel with a halo and another in a devil outfit with horns. Another monster can be seen torquing lug nuts on a tire. When checking out the car, watch out for the giant spider before grabbing a piece of candy.

The Balkevitches take the car to local car shows, including Leason’s Dairy Bar and Grille in Warren and Autorama at Detroit’s Huntington Place. It’s also been a hit at many trunk-or-treat events.

“People honk and wave. There are more people that love Halloween than I thought.

People know the car because it’s been on TV and in magazines. Anytime it’s on TV, I get phone calls and text messages,” Balkevitch said. “Kids don’t always like to go to car shows, but they’re drawn to (the Ventura).

They love it. They ask about the year and if it’s a race car.”

And the classic car owner always lets parents and kids sit inside the car and take photos.

“It’s just a fun car. I’ve always been doing it for the kids. A lot of kids love the smallest little details,” Balkevitch said. “The smiles on their faces mean more than anything. It makes you feel like you’re doing the right thing. Hopefully they’ll keep the classic cars alive.”

Balkevitch also shows up at charity events with the car in an effort to help different organizations. He likes to share the car with others because of his own experiences with his children when they were young.

These Halloween characters are ready to race. The muscle car has raced on occasion at the Lapeer International Dragway.

BRIEFS

St. Clair Shores residents experience break-ins

The St. Clair Shores Police Department recently had several calls regarding thefts from unlocked cars, Police Chief Jason Allen said in an email.

These thefts are random, Allen said in the email, and items of value are usually stolen.

To deter thefts, undercover officers and uniformed officers in unmarked police vehicles are placed in neighborhoods at night, Allen said in the email. Residents have also sent in videos showing the suspects entering vehicles.

Allen also said patterns of thefts of this type emerge a couple times a year and that other nearby cities are experiencing them as well.

“Locking all doors and windows is the most important way to avoid being victimized,” Allen said. “Outdoor lighting can help discourage criminals from entering your property. The videos help let officers know which vehicles to watch for.”

“My kids both had head surgeries,” he said. “The Ronald Ronald McDonald House (Charities) helped me out a lot.”

The vintage vehicle features a hydraulic roller cam, Mad Dog Headers and a fourwheel disc brake conversion. It’s received recognition at different car events. One year, the Ventura was deemed the fastest street car at the Pontiac Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio, giving Balkevitch “bragging rights.”

The Ventura was victorious as the 2019 All Out Live Lapeer Dragway Street Car Class winner. One of the best track times was driving 129 mph in the quarter mile at 10.18 seconds.

Balkevitch is also grateful to two people who have helped him.

“Thank you to David Pemberton. I got the car and motor from him,” Balkevitch said. “Keith Domijan, he helped me troubleshoot it.”

Domijan has since died.

Balkevitch continuously works on the car to keep it in tip-top shape. He knows cars pretty well.

“My dad was a mechanic. I always helped him work on cars,” said Balkevitch,

SENIORS IN DEMAND FOR HOLIDAY VOLUNTEERING

BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com

A

s the holidays are approaching many places are looking for extra help, particularly from seniors.

Places such as Meadow Brook and the Detroit Institute of Arts are in need of volunteers to fill a vast array of positions this holiday season and beyond.

Meadow Brook estate, in Rochester Hills, has an active and robust volunteer program, according to Katie Higgins, Meadow Brook marketing and communications manager. The volunteer cohort at Meadow Brook consists of around 300 people who volunteer their time to help make things happen at the estate.

According to Connor Newton, who oversees the volunteer program at Meadow Brook, volunteers at the estate range in age from high school students to senior citizens, with the majority of their volunteers being of senior stature.

“The bulk of our cohort are senior citizens, and the opportunities are really quite ranging,” said Newton. “I have a series of volunteer opportunities from the gardens into the house that really engages with many different areas of interests and proficiencies.”

Volunteer positions at Meadow Brook include gardeners, who maintain the various gardens throughout the property. The Garden Club meets on Tuesdays during the garden season. Newton said every Tuesday, approximately 16 members of the club come out to maintain the gardens on the grounds.

There are also naturalists who volunteer to fight the invasive plants in the woodlands, Newton said. There are also squires, a group that is made up predominantly of men. The squires help with various maintenance tasks See VOLUNTEERS on page 18A

Community Choice Credit Union Prepare now for Healthcare and Extended Care Costs in Retirement is often overlooked by retirement-minded individuals.

2.

Copayments related to Medicare-covered services that are not paid by Medicare Supplement Insurance plans (also known as “Medigap”) or other health insurance.

Additionally, addressing the potential risks of extended-term care expenses may be one of the biggest financial challenges for individuals who are developing a retirement strategy. Extended care is not a single activity. It refers to a variety of medical and non–medical services needed by those who have a chronic illness or disability – most commonly associated with aging.

3.

Extended care can include everything from assistance with activities of daily living – help dressing, bathing, using the bathroom, or even driving to the store – to more intensive therapeutic and medical care requiring the services of skilled medical personnel.

How Much Does Extended Care Cost?

Seven in 10 people over age 65 can expect to need extended care services at some point in their lives. As a result, understanding the various types of extended care services – and what those services may cost – is also critical as you consider your retirement approach.2 A breakdown of healthcare costs A retired household faces three types of healthcare expenses.

1.

The premiums for Medicare Part B (which covers physician and outpatient services) and Part D (which covers drug-related expenses). Typically, Part B and Part D are taken out of a person’s Social Security check before it is mailed, so the premium cost

Not Insured by NCUA or Any Other Government Agency

Costs associated with dental care, eyeglasses, and hearing aids – which are typically not covered

by Medicare or other insurance programs.

According to a HealthView Services study, a 65-year-old healthy couple can expect their lifetime healthcare expenses to add up to around $597,389 before accounting for inflation.3 Extended care may be provided at home, at a community center, in an assisted living facility, or in a skilled nursing home. Additionally, extended care is not exclusively for the elderly; it is possible to need extended care at any age.

Extended care costs vary state by state and region by region. The 2021 national average for care in a skilled care facility (single occupancy in a nursing home) was $108,405 a year.

The national average for care in an assisted living center (single occupancy) was $54,000 a year. Home health aides cost a median of $27 per hour, but that rate may increase when a licensed nurse is required.2

Not Credit Union Guaranteed

What Are the Payment Choices?

Often, extended care is provided by family and friends. However, providing care can be a burden, and the need for assistance tends to increase with age.4 Individuals who would rather not burden their family and friends have two main choices for covering the cost of extended care: they can choose to self-insure, or they can purchase extended care insurance.

Many self-insure by default – simply because they haven’t made other arrangements. Those who self-insure may depend on personal savings and investments to fund any extended care needs.

The other approach is to consider purchasing extended care insurance, which can cover all levels of care, from skilled or custodial care to in-home assistance.

In a 2022 survey, 35 percent of all workers reported they were either “not too” or “not at all” confident that they would have enough money to pay for their medical expenses in retirement. Regardless of your confidence, being aware of potential healthcare costs during retirement may allow you to understand what you can pay for and what you can’t.1

throughout the property, such as untangling and hanging Christmas lights, and painting doors. Volunteers with an interest in curating are able to get involved by assisting Meadow Brook curators with special projects. Curatorial volunteers help with the staging of exhibits, and assist the curator with moving of sensitive artifacts and fragile furniture.

Curatorial volunteers receive special training to be able to handle historical artifacts. The estate also has opportunities for volunteers to digitize imagery and many other projects that are overseen by the estate curators.

“On the interpretive side, which I closely oversee, I have hosts and docents who are really tasked with sharing the story of Meadow Brook with the general public and with private touring guests,” said Newton. “So, volunteers who are interested in communicating. They’re generous in their approach with folks from all over the world - all over the country, because Meadow Brook attracts those kind of visitors who are interested in building connections and rapport with strangers and friends alike. They find a great place here. Although I work here, I often tell people that, for me, in a lot of ways, Meadow

Brook is somewhat of a third place — a place that’s not home, a place that’s not work, where you can come together with likeminded individuals and find fulfillment and satisfaction, and for many people — well, for hundreds of people — Meadow Brook serves as that kind of place.”

However, with the holidays approaching, Newton said the greatest need at the estate is for volunteers to provide assistance with hosted and self-guided touring. This is also needed throughout the year for both self-guided touring and for private events, such as weddings and evening programs.

“This is an opportunity where folks with a love of history and a knack for interpersonal communication can engage with external visitors here at Meadow Brook and sort of bring our history alive,” said Newton.

“And also protect our collections, right? Eyes are really important to ensure that our artifacts are being appropriately interacted with by visitors.

Newton said the programs offered by Meadow Brook for volunteers are ever growing. In a calendar year, the estate has approximately 300 active volunteers. He said that if they could get another dozen or two volunteers in the next calendar year, that would be “fantastic.”

Volunteers conduct a spring cleanup around the gardens at the Meadow Brook estate.

“We are always eager for more hands,” said Newton. “Volunteers are essential to our mission. Not only do they contribute to the culture of this space, (and) with their knowledge and their passion bring Meadow Brook to life for the general public, they also represent a really important source of manpower and hours. So with their talent and with the time that they give us, it would be a big challenge to hire that many people to come in (to) help us with those kind of projects and with the kind of work they do, so they are really crucial to a nonprofit like us.”

The DIA is currently seeking volunteers for positions such as ushers at the Detroit Film Theater, gallery information and gallery service voluntary positions, as well as in the museum shop committees. Volunteers at the DIA are required to commit to 50 hours of service per year, which equates to four hours a month. Volunteers are also required to attend scheduled training, meetings and enrichments. The DIA offers flexible schedules, with two to four shifts available every day. Shifts are available in one- to four- hour increments.

“Volunteers are welcome to volunteer as often as they like. We have volunteers who

come in weekly, monthly, or just as their schedules allow,” said Phil Rivera, the director of volunteer services for the DIA. “There are no educational requirements to volunteer — simply an interest in art and service to the community.”

DIA volunteers are required to become members of the DIA at any level and to pay annual committee dues ranging from $5-$50, which go toward defraying the cost of committee activities. This includes off-site enrichments, guest speakers, supplies, etc. Volunteering is open to people age 18 or older.

Currently, just over 500 people volunteer at the DIA. Of those, approximately 85% are age 55 or older, and 65% are over age 65. On an average day, 15-25 volunteers are needed to facilitate operations, depending on what is going on at the museum.

“While we do not exclusively recruit senior volunteers, we have found that seniors tend to volunteer more actively at the DIA due to greater availability and flexibility. Volunteering at the DIA provides opportunities for our volunteers to learn and grow their love of art, develop lasting friendships, and find fulfillment in our mission to help visitors find personal meaning in art, individually and with each other,” said Rivera.

DIA volunteers primarily work onsite at the DIA. The only exception is for “Behind-

the-Seen” art talks conducted at libraries, community centers, senior residences, etc., and occasionally, community engagement at art fairs and similar events.

Meadow Brook and the DIA are accepting applicants for those who wish to volunteer at their facilities this holiday season through Oct. 31. Applications received after that date will be reviewed in late January or early February.

For more information about volunteering at Meadow Brook call (248) 364-6210 or email MBGCmembers@gmail.com. For more information about volunteering at the DIA, contact their Volunteer Services Department at diavol@dia.org or (313) 833-1382.

are out there singing it. So we try to make it more of an experience and a fun event for anybody that’s attending and all raising money for a great cause.”

The Veterans Day open house, hosted the day after the game, on Nov. 11, is at Stahls’ Automotive Collection in Chesterfield Township and is open to the public, Sabatini said. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“We honor those who have served (in the military) and those who are currently serving and it’s a great collection of cars and historic musical instruments,” Sabatini said.

Sabatini said he’s excited for the game.

“It’s almost like I’m planning a wedding every year,” Sabatini said. “So I’m looking forward to actually when the puck drops but all the planning and everything. We started on that months ago.”

Sabatini said in previous years, members from the city have gotten involved in the hockey game and they try to get the St. Clair Shores community involved as well.

“We’ve got a relationship with a special needs hockey program that’s out of St. Clair Shores Civic Arena. We invite them to the

game,” Sabatini said. “We invite them onto the ice with us afterwards to join us with a photo with the Detroit Red Wings alumni.”

Lamparter said Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs started around 13 years ago.

During its service, they have paired more than 400 service dogs in 40 states around the country.

The recipient of a service dog doesn’t have to pay for the dog and the money comes from fundraisers hosted by companies like Stahls’ and donations.

The approval process for a service dog can take a number of months and even up to a year, Lamparter said. It starts with a onepage application and after the application is reviewed, an interview process starts. The person asking for a service dog must meet certain criteria and they also have to complete training.

“There’s a lot of things that they obviously have to know and that whole process, as I said, can go on for a number of months before a dog has been identified that would be a good fit for that person,” Lamparter said.

Lamparter said the family members are impacted as much as the recipients because of what a recipient goes through.

“When a service dog comes into that recipient’s life, it changes it so much that they’re able to go out of their home, they’re

Lamparter said it’s our obligation to help veterans and first responders who have made a huge sacrifice.

“And because of that, coming to the

hockey game, supporting financially and just supporting in public by being there is very, very important,” Lamparter said.

Tickets for the Power Play for Heroes charity hockey game are available at stahlsppfh2023.eventbrite.com. To inquire about group tickets, email paul@stahlsteam.com.

“We have to ask for more to avoid the 18 becoming 17.8, becoming 17.5, becoming 17.0, because the state pot of money — remember the big pot over here that’s most of our money — assumes we’re collecting 18 maximum, locally,” Paulson said.

Paulson said all school districts in the state have to ask for this ballot item occasionally and that it’s not the first time it has been voted on.

Here is the language for the Lakeview Public Schools replacement operating millage proposal as it will appear on the Nov. 7 election ballot: This proposal would, replace, restore and extend the authority of the School District to levy the statutory limit of 18 mills on all property, except principal residences and other property exempted by law which currently expires with the School District’s 2024 tax levy and allow the School District to continue to levy the statutory limit of 18 mills in the event of future Headlee rollbacks of up to 3 mills. The authorization will allow the School District to continue to receive revenues at the full per pupil foundation allowance permitted by the State.

Shall the limitation on the total amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residences and other property exempted by law, situated within the Lakeview Public Schools, County of Macomb, State of Michigan, be increased, in the amount of 21 mills with 18 mills being the maximum allowable levy ($18.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation), for a period of twenty (20) years, 2024 to 2043, inclusive with 17.8965 mills of the above 21 mills being a replacement of authorized millage which will otherwise expire on December 31, 2024 and 0.909 mills being a restoration of previously authorized millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution? This operating millage if approved and levied, would provide estimated revenues to the School District of $2,600,000 during the 2024 calendar year, to be used for general operating purposes.

their individual celebrations. Greater Mack Avenue from south Nine Mile to the Nine Mack Drive and Cavalier Drive intersection will close down from 2 p.m. to midnight that day.

The regular social district will kick off at 5 p.m. after the conclusion of the Skelebration, O’Brien-Kravitz said.

“So the street remains closed, and people can enjoy food trucks, the live music. They can purchase beverages at one bar or restaurant and walk to another one,” O’Brien-Kravitz said. “Anything that’s within a common area.”

There is no admission for the Skelebration, and it will be more fun if the kids come in costume, O’Brien-Kravitz said.

“I’ve seen where adults come in costume for the social district part of it because it is the last one of the season,” O’Brien-Kravitz said.

“So people tend to like this one because it is their last chance to be in the downtown area and celebrate at a social district until next year.”

The downtown businesses are decorated with skeletons of all shapes and sizes. Gloria Kinne, owner of Circare and a member of the 9-Mack Merchants Association, said the skeletons are thematic to the businesses.

Some are chilling outside having a nice cup of coffee while others are raking leaves.

O’Brien-Kravitz said around 75% of the businesses now have skeletons outside including one business that hasn’t moved in yet.

“It’s fun to watch the businesses have fun and get into the spirit of Halloween,” O’Brien-Kravitz said.

Kinne said one of the newest things featured at the Skelebration this year is a pet parade. There will also be performances by the two dance schools located downtown. Other things include magic shows and a DJ. “So it’s going to be a lot of fun,” Kinne said.

Every year the Skelebration grows exponentially, Kinne said.

“We never really expected the kind of turnout that we’ve had,” Kinne said. “But it’s a lot of fun for kids and adults both.”

She later said that in previous years, she’s run out of candy to pass out to the kids. She started with a set amount of goodie bags and ran out halfway through.

There is no alcohol allowed at the Skelebration between the hours of 2 p.m. and 5

p.m. It will be available at the start of the social district event. Kinne said no alcohol is to be brought into the district.

“It can be purchased here on-site,” Kinne said. “According to the state regulations and various liquor licenses, they can’t bring their own liquor into the area.”

O’Brien-Kravitz said the 9-Mack Merchants Association plans a lot of these events including the Junefest and the Jingle Mingle on Dec. 2.

“It’s kind of a holiday kick off for all the businesses in the area,” O’Brien-Kravitz said.

“They’re going to have sales and promotions and festivities happening to welcome people to downtown St. Clair Shores as we kick off the holiday season.”

O’Brien-Kravitz is really into Halloween and is excited for the Skelebration.

“I’m just happy to see all the businesses get into it and it’s fun to see the look on kids’ face(s) when they come down and see all the skeletons and all the fun that’s happening that day,” O’Brien-Kravitz said.

Kinne also said she’s excited.

“It’s great fun to see the kids in the costume and the adults, some of them are amazing, and I think everybody has a really good time,” Kinne said.

Identity theft reported on 10 Mile Road

At 1:12 p.m. on Oct. 10, a report was made about a claim of identity theft that occurred on Oct. 9 in the 20000 block of 10 Mile Road.

The victim, a 44-year-old man, came into the police station and stated he wanted to report a case of identity theft along with $800 that was stolen from his checking account. He stated that sometime after 9 p.m. on Oct. 9 his phone was hacked by an unknown person and $800 was transferred

from his checking account to an unknown party in San Francisco. When he woke up on Oct. 10, he was unable to access his phone.

He took it to the store where they said his SIM card had been compromised.

The store issued him a new SIM card and secured his phone with new passcodes.

When the man accessed his phone and checked his credit, he reportedly saw two hard inquiries on his credit report overnight.

The man did not have credit or bank statements to turn over to the police at the time.

At 7:05 a.m. on Oct. 5, a report was made about a vehicle theft that occurred between Oct. 4 and Oct. 5 in the 25000 block of Princeton Street.

Upon arrival, an officer spoke to one of the victims, a 35-year-old woman, who stated that her vehicle was parked in the driveway and was last seen at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 4. It was discovered missing at approximately 7 a.m. on Oct. 5. She stated she may have accidentally left the keys in the vehicle because they were not in her bag.

The other victim, a 29-year-old man, told police he thought his vehicle had been gone through. He stated the only thing that was missing from his vehicle was cologne.

The officer requested an evidence technician. The technician was told by the man that there are fingerprints on the passenger and driver doors that he knew he didn’t leave because he washed his vehicle.

The technician checked the doors and found partial prints. Another residence had a doorbell camera that might have recorded the theft.

office. The man was using the ATM next to the office and allegedly entered the office, taking the purse before leaving at 12:06 p.m. The woman stated he walked toward 13 Mile Road. She stated the items in the purse included her debit cards, store keys, car keys and other items. The officer advised the woman to cancel her debit cards, which she stated she already did.

The officer asked if there was anything trackable in the purse and there was not.

The woman stated she called the ATM machine company for any information, but they would not disclose anything. The officer asked if the woman could get a copy of the surveillance footage and she advised loss prevention would need to come to the store. The officer advised the woman to have them do that so detectives could follow up. The officer checked the area and did not find the man.

property taxes collected, according to a newsletter sent out by the district.

Paulson said home values have rebounded in the last five years and that property values generally don’t see a huge dip unless it happens in times of economic hardship.

He said the last time this item was on the ballot, Lakeview Public Schools asked for a four-year plan to renew and replace the expiring millages.

“We were at 18.6 or something so we asked for 0.5 additional, beyond 18 last time,” Paulson said. “Well, that was spring of 2020. Four years. So we have to renew it at a minimum before four years.”

If the item is not passed, it will expire, dropping the number of mills collected down to zero. Paulson said the $2.6 million collected locally by the millage would not go away slowly, but would disappear all at once.

“After four years, we go (to) nothing.

We go back to zero on non-homestead properties,” Paulson said. “Because (of ) the 18mill vote. We’re already below 18 right now.

The collection this coming year is going to be like 17.8.”

Paulson added, “It means something for the future to vote 21 mills for 20 years. It just keeps us being able to collect the full 18 hopefully for that whole 20 years.”

Lakeview has been battling injuries the past few weeks but the Huskies, almost back to full strength, returned to action and took care of business against Lake Shore.

“We fell short, and there was nobody to blame but ourselves. We didn’t show up,” Osagiede said. “We wanted to get back to the winning side knowing that Lake Shore, no matter their record, was going to put on a show for the city. We had to come with the same mindset.”

Lakeview was looking to earn a seventh win this year when they traveled to Berkley on Oct. 20 to take on the winless Berkley Bears. The Huskies last won seven games in the regular season in 2019.

“I’m really proud of our kids,” Lakeview coach Pat Threet said. “Getting a seventh win next week would be a huge accomplishment because there’s not a lot of teams that win seven games in the regular season.”

Spotlight on business...

Welcome to Tina Marshall, D.D.S.; a unique experience in the modern realm of dentistry.

Dr. Tina Marshall and Dr. Marisa Oleski, the owners of these two revolutionary dental offices, have made it their priority to offer their patients an all-around great encounter at the dentist’s

office. Dr. Tina, having three daughters of her own, was more than aware of the challenges a parent faces when trying to get her kids to take care of their teeth. Like many other parents, the typical resistance from her daughters in going to the dentist was an obstacle she had to overcome each time they were due for a cleaning or a checkup.

Understanding this common dilemma most parents face, as she herself remembered her own resistance as a young girl to going to the dentist, she set out to find a way to make it easier for not only parents, but also the kids.

The first step was to get a fresh, outside point of view. Tina recruited a medical consultant who had a reputation for turning medical offices into fun and family-friendly environments without sacrificing a great level of care. Upon bringing in this new perspective, the present-day Tina

Marshall, D.D.S., was born.

The new philosophy was simple: Treat patients like people, not just like patients! The office was given a fun and exciting facelift with rooms decorated in Marvel and sports themes, among others; complimentary snacks and beverages were made available to everyone; and great toys and prizes were given away each visit to kids (and some young-at-heart adults). The doctors also fully invested in state-of-the-art technology to give the greatest level of care, and prices were lowered to make dental care truly affordable!

These are just a few of the things that make Tina Marshall, D.D.S., the great dental offices that they are, and people should come and experience the offices for themselves!

Failure to pay all costs and fees will result in said costs and fees being assessed against the property and placed upon the tax rolls of the City of St. Clair Shores.

Tina Marshall, D.D.S., is open 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays at two locations: 2951 S. Baldwin Road in Lake Orion and 40340 Hayes Road in Clinton Township. Call the Lake Orion location at (248) 391-1200 and call the Clinton Township location at (586) 630-0252. Find more information at drtinadds.com.

ATTORNEY GENERAL WARNS AGAINST SMISHING SCAM

METRO DETROIT — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is warning residents about fraudulent smishing text messages with an alleged delivery notification and tracking link, purporting to be from the U.S. Postal Service.

Smishing is when the scammer entices the victim by claiming a victim must provide them with a password, account number, or even Social Security number to stop an alleged fraudulent transaction. Once this information is provided, the scammer can gain access to the device and any personal information stored on it, including email, bank, credit card, or other types of accounts including social media.

Her office shared some advice to not be victimized in this way including to never share a phone number unless the person or organization is personally known; never assume a text is legitimate because it comes from a familiar phone number or area code, since spammers can use caller ID spoofing to make it appear the text is from a trusted or local source; never click on links in a suspicious text; and to never provide personal or financial information in response to the unsolicited text or a website linked to the message.

To file a complaint with the Department of Attorney General, call (517) 335-7599.

Police search for missing person

EASTPOINTE — The Eastpointe Police Department was asking for the public’s help in locating Matthew Krent. He hadn’t been seen since Sept.

26, when he was dropped off at Eastland Motel on Gratiot Avenue, north of Eight Mile Road.

Krent does not have a phone and has not been heard from since he disappeared, police said.

Stolen car recovered

EASTPOINTE — According to a police report, officers observed a Hyundai Accent at a gas station on Nine Mile Road at Kelly Road Sept. 27, and checked the plate since that type of car is commonly stolen.

Police confirmed the car was stolen.

The vehicle was parked at the gas pumps and appeared to be abandoned. The clerk at the gas station told police that the driver had entered the store asking for free gasoline, and then left the car once he was denied.

Upon watching security footage, officers obtained a description of the suspect that led them to a 25-year-old man, who was found in the area and taken into custody without incident.

Police were continuing to investigate.

Break-in at T-Mobile

EASTPOINTE — According to a police report, two unknown suspects broke into the T-Mobile store in the area of Eight Mile Road and Gratiot Avenue at around 10:20 p.m. Sept. 27, gaining entry by throwing a hammer through the glass door and then stealing numerous phone cases and headphones before fleeing a short time later. No vehicle was seen on security footage.

Caller reports attempted break-in

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 2:36 a.m. Sept. 23, Shelby Township police officers were dispatched to the 5000 block of Celestial Court, near 25 Mile and Mound roads, on a possible attempted breaking and entering that had occurred.

The caller stated that a male subject had attempted to open or unlock the front door of the residence. The suspect then ran off to a nearby car after the homeowner woke up and turned on the lights. Police searched the area and were unable to locate the suspect or the vehicle. The Shelby Township Police Department’s detective bureau was investigating.

Woman receives threat

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 4:56 p.m. Sept. 24, a woman came into the Police Department to file a fraud report. The woman stated that she was using a job locator app on her phone, and the person

she was communicating with on the app tried to convince her to give her credit card information.

When the woman refused to give the requested credit card information, the subject stated that she would “blackmail” her to get her personal credit card information. The detective bureau was investigating.

Stolen boat reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 2:14 p.m. on Sept. 27, a report was made about a theft of property that occurred between the dates of Aug. 28 and Sept. 11 in the 24000 block of Jefferson Avenue.

At the listed time and date, the victim, a 28-year-old man, came into the station and stated his boat was stolen from a marina. He stated his boat was parked in a slip and taken between Aug. 28 and Sept. 11 when he was away on business.

The victim has all sets of keys and does not owe any money. He reportedly has insurance.

Motorbikes ride in Delia Park lot

STERLING HEIGHTS — Police heard a complaint during the night of Sept. 22 that several motorcycles were riding around and causing a disturbance in the parking lot of Delia Park, 3801 18 Mile Road. When police got to the scene, they said, the last of the bikes was departing.

Wanted suspect arrested

GROSSE POINTE PARK — Police were called to the 1300 block of Devonshire Road at around 7:16 p.m. Oct. 2 after someone reported an intoxicated person walking in the street.
