BLANKETS, STUFFED ANIMALS KEEP CHILD’S MEMORY ALIVE

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Erin Terina Maria Patton lived for 16 days. Born on Sept. 18, 2001, Tammy and Cliff Patton’s fourth child and first daughter had a number of complications.

“When I was pregnant with her, they saw on the ultrasound that she had a heart condition, which was cushion canal defect,” Tammy said. “It’s a hole in the

child’s heart, usually seen with Down syndrome children.”

As time went on, more problems were discovered.

Erin had pulmonary atresia, an enlarged heart and severe valve leakage, leading her to be transferred from St. John Hospital to Children’s Hospital of Detroit for surgery. There was little chance of success, but her parents elected to go ahead with it anyway.

“Our only other option was to take her off of See PATTON on page 6A

HARRISON TOWNSHIP — A public hearing for road improvement projects on Cortez Street, Santose Street and Carno Circle was held at the Sept. 25 Harrison Township Board of Trustees meeting.

“This is a special assessment that was driven by resident petitions that we had over 50% of the frontage represented in favor of the project, and we’re moving forward with it through the Macomb County subdivision reconstruction grant program,” Township Clerk Adam Wit said.

The project, if taken through the full process, would crush and remove the existing road surface and replace it with new asphalt; it would also involve some minor drainage work. If the project is included in the Macomb County subdivision reconstruction grant program, the Macomb County Department of Roads will cover the cost of additional drainage work. The total cost of the work is estimated to be $397,165 and will be split among several lots in the Eldorado Knolls, Betty Jean and Ferro Acres subdivisions.

Several residents of the district spoke during the hearing, with three of them worried they would be charged for repairs to a street they don’t live on.

“My house fronts Townhall (Street),” said resident Gilbert Richard. “My address is on Townhall. My garage faces Townhall also. The repaving of Cortez does me very little good. … I don’t believe I should be included in the assessment.”

To these concerns, Township Supervisor Ken Verkest told residents that while the decision to include homes and advance the assessment is based on linear feet frontage, the township encourages the payment to be split up based on the driveway access.

Hearing set for downtown maintenance program

BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

Mount Clemens will maintain its business with information technology company Hi-Tech for another year for $85,260. The city is upgrading to the company’s premium plan after spending the past decade supplementing the company’s basic plan with additional time block purchases.

“We’ve made a lot of changes,” Mount Clemens City Manager Gregg Shipman said. “One was the technician that we deal with that would come out once a week on Wednesdays, so we changed the technician approximately 6-8 months ago.

Trump visits Clinton Township, criticizes push for electric vehicles REPUBLICAN PLEDGES SUPPORT FOR AUTO WORKERS DURING EVENT AT DRAKE ENTERPRISES

BY JONATHAN OOSTING/BRIDGE MICHIGAN AND DEAN VAGLIA/DVAGLIA@CANDGNEWS.COM CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Michigan auto workers deserve “fair wages and greater stability” but their jobs could soon collapse because of a government-backed shift to electric vehicles, former President Donald Trump warned in a speech Sept. 27 in Clinton Township.

“Your current negotiations don’t mean as much as you think” because “in two to three years you will not have one job in this state,” Trump said in the speech at

Drake Enterprises, near Gratiot Avenue and Hall Road.

His remarks were aimed at striking members of the United Auto Workers union, who 13 days earlier began walking off jobs at Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. and Stellantis.

Drake Enterprises is a non-unionized auto supplier that specializes in gear shift levers and transmission components for heavy trucks.

In his return to Macomb County, Trump used his See TRUMP on page 5A

MOUNT CLEMENS — City commissioners took a step toward keeping downtown Mount Clemens clean at their Sept.

18 meeting by setting a date for a downtown maintenance program public hearing.

On Monday, Oct. 16, residents, business owners and other stakeholders can weigh in on the maintenance program, which has been operating since 1981. Businesses and property owners in the district can expect to receive notice from the city.

“Everybody has to be notified in the district about the hearing, so they’ll get the letter before the first hearing,” said Mayor Laura Kropp.

Rates for the district will be announced at the meeting.

Harrison Township resident turns 100

HARRISON TOWNSHIP — Jack Hetsko hit 100 years old last month, celebrating the occasion with a party at Rivercrest Family Dining in Clinton Township on Sept. 24.

“He didn’t want (a party) but he was so excited,” said niece and caretaker Debbie Crane. “There had to be like 30-35 people, mostly neighbors and the relatives that are left.”

Raised on a farm in Patton, Pennsylvania with four brothers and five sisters, Hetsko worked in mines before joining the U.S. Army in WWII and serving in the Pacific theater. He followed his brother to Detroit after the war and worked in a roller bearing factory.

According to Crane, Hetsko’s longevity can be attributed to his regimented lifestyle.

“He has breakfast at 7:30, lunch at 12:30 and supper at 5:30,” Crane said. “He doesn’t snack in between. He still cuts the grass on a John Deere. He walks a lot. He does sit ups. I think being active is what kept him alive.”

DNR SAYS TO CRUSH INVASIVE BUG

STATEWIDE — The Michigan Department of Natural resources is asking Michiganders to do their part in the fight against the invasive spotted lanternfly.

According to a statement from the DNR, the spotted lanternfly tends to be sighted in the late summer and early fall. Adult lanternflies have brownish-gray wings with black spots with a yellow and black abdomen and red hind wings. Younger lanternflies have black bodies with white spots and occasionally have red patches.

“If you see a spotted lanternfly, yes, we really do want you to squish it if you can,” Rob Miller, Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development invasive species prevention and response specialist, said in a release. “Then, take a photo or two and report it to us through the online Eyes in the Field reporting system. It’s important to get to know what the spotted lanternfly looks like, though, because we don’t want to target harmless native insects with pretty wings.”

Drivers returning to Michigan from out of state are especially urged to check their vehicles for lanternflies.

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Walker and runners came out to Freedom Hill on Sept. 23 to take part in the 16th annual Tara’s 5K Run & Walk. Held by Turning Point, the event honors the memory of Tara Grant, who was strangled to death by her husband.

“It was a very violent crime and took almost a year to bring some justice to the family,” said Sharman Davenport, CEO of Turning Point.

Typically held as only a walk, the fundraiser for Turning Point’s domestic violence services featured a run as well this year. Speakers included Davenport, Grant’s sister Alicia Standerfer and Grant’s children, as well as survivors of domestic violence.

Trump from page 3A

roughly hour-long speech to bash Democratic President Joe Biden’s push for electric vehicles and promised to stop what he called a “transition to hell” that will force automakers to close factories and move production overseas, repeating claims Bridge Michigan previously found to be inflated.

Trump’s visit to the township occurred without incident, according to township clerk Kim Meltzer “I think our township did a great job coordinating with the safety of the community with the law enforcement and with the schools, because they were butting up to the school property,” Meltzer said, referring to various L’Anse Creuse Public Schools properties near Drake Enterprises. “We were a great host, and I think that’s what we should be no matter who the candidate is.”

Meltzer, who was not in attendance, said she was honored to have presidential candidates visit Clinton Township.

“I’m always honored to have any person who is wanting to serve our country to pick Clinton Township to come into and speak and let everybody know their platform … I think it’s a good thing for Clin-

ton Township to have people of that stature coming into the community. If Biden came in, I would feel the same way.”

Clinton Township Supervisor Robert Cannon, who was also not in attendance, praised the township’s public safety departments and all attendees for being respectful with each other.

Candidates on both sides court autoworkers

With a potential 2024 rematch looming, Biden and Trump are already battling for the blue-collar vote in Michigan, which is the birthplace of the modern labor movement and remains one of the most unionized states in the country.

As of 2022, 14% of Michigan workers — about 589,000 — were members of a union, the 11th highest rate in the country and well above the national average of 10%, according to federal data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

While striking UAW members are pushing for higher wages, cost-of-living increases and changes to a lower-tiered pay system for new hires, the union has also expressed concern about the industry’s ongoing industry shift to electric vehicles, which have fewer parts and therefore require fewer workers to produce, an anxiety Trump has

hammered on again and again.

In his speech in Clinton Township, Trump laid out what he called a “vision for economic nationalism” focused on keeping American jobs at home.

The visit came the day after Biden made history as the first sitting president to join a picket line. Biden spoke to striking UAW members on Sept. 26 outside a General Motors facility in Belleville, where he backed the union’s call for a 40% wage bump, saying auto workers deserve a “hell of a lot more” than they are currently paid.

The Biden administration’s proposed fuel emissions standards, which are projected to require two-thirds of all new auto sales to be electric by 2032, amounts to a “government assassination of your jobs and your industry,” Trump argued.

“He’s selling you out to environmental extremists, the radical left, people who have no idea how bad this is going to be,” Trump said. “You can be loyal to American labor or you can be loyal to the environmental lunatics, but you can’t really be loyal to both.”

Biden has called for a “just” transition to EVs as part of his goal to make half of all new car sales electric by 2030. That would be a dramatic increase in the U.S., where EVs accounted for about six percent of new car sales in 2022, which doubled the prior year.

To accelerate the shift, Biden has authorized billions of dollars in federal grants and loans to help traditional automakers retool existing facilities for EV production.

Last year’s Inflation Reduction Act also expanded federal tax credits for EV customers.

Detroit automakers are already spending big to ramp up EV production and compete with other companies, most notably Tesla, the California-based company that uses cheaper nonunion labor to produce electric cars.

General Motors, which plans to spend $7 billion on EV and battery facilities in Michigan, has aims to end production of internal combustion engines by 2035.

Trump aggressively courted blue-collar workers in his winning 2016 campaign, attacking what he called unfair international trade deals like the North American Free Trade Agreement, which he eventually scrapped and replaced as president.

Trump won Michigan that year by a razor-thin 10,714 votes, topping Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by fewer than three-tenths of a percentage point.

Biden won the state by about three percentage points in 2020, topping Trump by 154,188 votes.

medication that was keeping the hole open to keep her alive,” Tammy said.

As Erin was taken to Children’s Hospital via the Panda Ambulance, Tammy was given a stuffed bear wearing an EMS unit shirt. Another bear was given as Erin was taken into surgery on Oct. 2, and more stuffed animals and blankets were given as time went on. Tammy learned these animals were donated to the hospital.

“We were touched by it,” Tammy said.

“We kept her stuffed animals. One of the blankets we buried with her, the other ones we kept. We know how much it means to us and our children, so we wanted to give back.”

Erin died on Oct. 4, 2001. To memorialize Erin’s life, Tammy and Cliff founded the organization Team Patton Outreach and have held a stuffed animal drive. Toys are collected between August and October and are donated to Children’s Hospital of Detroit, Ascension St. John Hospital and the Stilson Specialty Center.

Tammy and Cliff usually celebrate Erin’s birthday with a party, complete with a balloon release and cake between friends and family. But for 2023, Team Patton Outreach decided to honor Erin’s memory in a differ-

ent way by making blankets. With $1,000 in fleece, Tammy and Cliff rented a space at the Clinton-Macomb Public Library on Sept. 16 and got to work.

“It went better than what we expected,” Cliff said. “We were able to make 111 blankets that day inside of a six-hour period.”

Tammy and Cliff were not alone in the endeavor. Calls for help were put out and the two parents were joined by volunteers from Wyandot Middle School and Chippewa Valley High School’s National Honor Society.

About 60 volunteers came out to help from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Refreshments were donated by Little Caesars at 18 Mile and Hayes roads. Being a birthday celebration, volunteers were also treated to cake and sang “Happy Birthday.”

“It was an incredible day,” Tammy said.

“It was a very good day.”

Erin is also memorized through the Erin T.M. Patton Endowed Memorial Scholarship at Wayne State University, which helps students enrolled in the School of Medicine that have a financial need. Cardiology students are the preferred recipients of the fund.

Team Patton Outreach does other activities in the Clinton Township area, such as providing lock boxes for seniors and taking kids to Detroit Pistons basketball games.

NATURE-BASED LEARNING ON THE RISE IN MICHIGAN

‘IT REALLY BUILDS RESILIENCE, AND KIDDOS UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE PART OF THE WORLD AROUND THEM’

BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Constantly inundated by technology, today’s kids are spending much of their free time hunched over a screen inside instead of playing outdoors.

Parents, on the other hand, are busy looking for experiences that will allow their children to unplug and get active, sparking the demand for nature-based schools and programs across the nation.

The drive to offer kids hands-on learning experiences outdoors — commonly referred to as the forest school or nature school movement — is a trend that’s gaining momentum nationwide, including in Michigan. In these schools and programs, children spend most — or all — of their time outside.

Last year, the Farmington Hills Nature Center at Heritage Park opened a Nature Preschool for children ages 3-5.

“We use the outdoors as our classroom, so we’re really building skills in a real-world learning environment. Skills like resilience, social skills, building a classroom community, and building a respect and curiosity for nature,” said Nature Center Supervisor Ashlie Smith.

Students at the Heritage Park Nature Preschool — a state licensed child care center with preschool teachers who are Forest School Certified — learn outside every day for the entire half-day class See LEARNING on page 13A

Ford House Offers Educational Programs For All Ages

The kids are back in school, but they aren’t the only ones learning something new this fall.

The Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores is offering programs for adults and youths that promise to be enlightening, engaging and educational.

“We really focus on all learners,” Ford House Director of Education Jason Dake said.

“We want to provide educational programs for everyone.”

Edsel and Eleanor Ford were known for their impeccable sense of style along with their efforts to protect their estate’s natural environment, so a sustainability talk about fashion at 7 p.m. Nov. 2 in the Visitor Center is an ideal fit. Fashion designer, stylist and consultant Paulina Petkoski — who worked with designers including Calvin Klein, Isaac Mizrahi, Diane Von Furstenberg and Marc Jacobs — will discuss how the fashion industry is addressing this issue and why it’s so important.

Make a beautiful plate or candleholder using the fused glass technique during a Maker Studio workshop at 1 p.m. Nov. 18 in the Visitor Center. Artist and educator Helen Agius-Andreae will lead participants as they design their piece, which will be fused and slumped in a kiln and ready for pickup from

the Ford House two weeks later. All materials are supplied — just bring your imagination.

No experience is necessary.

See spaces inside the house not normally open to visitors during the “Nooks & Crannies” guided tours on various dates Oct. 6 through Dec. 31. Participants will traverse private stairways, the attic, the basement, the infirmary and the underground tunnel to the Powerhouse. Each “Nooks & Crannies” tour is only open to eight people because it takes participants into some small spaces. Because it involves climbing multiple flights of stairs, it’s not wheelchair accessible.

Dake said this is “one of our more popular house tours.” It’s usually only offered during the fall and winter.

Advance registration for all programs is strongly recommended as space is limited.

Two residents also took issue with the cost of the repairs needing to be covered by current property owners, meaning anyone looking to sell a home or land in the district will have to pay their share of the assessment before doing so. Wit said that sometimes the assessments have been passed along, although they are usually included as part of the closing costs.

“What we usually see is a negotiation

and settlement between the two parties,” Wit said.

Trustees approved a resolution confirming the public hearing was held and set the next hearing for Monday, Oct. 23, at 7 p.m. at Rosso Hall.

Trump from page 5A

St. Clair Shores City Councilman and UAW 412 member Chris Vitale attended the event, describing it to be as “crowded,” “raucous,” and “boisterous” as any other of the Trump events he’s attended. But for as brash as some of the former president’s comments may have been, Vitale said there was some truth to them.

“Trump says something like ‘Electric cars are going to spell the death of your industry,’” Vitale said.

“Well, it might not spell the absolute death of things — I think that three years from now there will still be three major auto companies with a presence in the Detroit area. But I will say that potentially five to 10 years out, maybe we’re down to a smaller number (and) a smaller number of facilities, and eventually it will dwindle and dry up. He may be a little exaggerated in his timeline, but he isn’t necessarily wrong.”

Vitale recounted that much of the crowd were fellow union members and that being there was a show of support from Republican-aligned UAW members, who had to stand around for three hours in Drake Enterprises’ facility in order to attend the speech.

“The idea that the union people are not supportive of Trump is false,” Vitale said. “He has a lot of supporters in the union ranks. He would not win Macomb County if he didn’t.”

Vitale says he heard members present say they wished the speech was held in a union shop, but he believes it would not have been favorable for a union shop’s owner to do so.

“Union shops are typically much larger,” Vitale said. “They often sell to consumers and they have stockholders and they risk being boycotted and things like that, whereas nonunion shops are typically familyowned. One guy calls the shots and he gets to decide if Trump comes in there or not. They don’t sell to retail, so they don’t have to worry about being boycotted.”

Ahead of Trump’s remarks, U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Michigan, released a statement addressing the Trump and Biden visits and a “major contrast” in presidential leadership.

She called Biden “a true champion for our workers and the industry that fuels Michigan’s economy.”

“He’s committed to a future where our workers get the pay and benefits that they deserve, instead of their jobs being shipped overseas or to the South,” Stabenow said.

In contrast, she said Trump “turned his back on our autoworkers.”

“He’s lined the pockets of the wealthy and shipped American manufacturing jobs overseas. When times were tough, he said that auto plants should move to lower-cost, nonunion states. He even said the auto companies should just go bankrupt,” Stabenow said.

“This week, more than ever, it’s clear who stands with Michigan.”

Mount Clemens City Commissioners voted on Sept. 18 to hold a downtown maintenance program hearing on Oct. 16.

Then we made some internal changes where we have a ticketing process now, where every problem now has a ticket associated with it so we can track it. We’re also tracking (Hi-Tech’s) hours that way.”

The new agreement will not require the city to track HiTech’s hours, but the ticketing system will remain in place along with the other changes. The prior system of purchasing additional time blocks cost the city $80,000-$110,000 per year.

period they sign up for. If severe weather occurs, class activities are moved into a licensed classroom at the Nature Center.

“It’s meant to be very immersive, where children are learning throughout multiple seasons. … They’re here every day, all winter and on rainy days too … so it really builds resilience, and kiddos understand that they are part of the world around them,” said Smith.

To some, it may look like children at the Heritage Park Nature Preschool are simply playing outside for hours each day, but Smith said their time outdoors helps develop valuable skills and fosters traits like resilience, leadership, problem-solving and perseverance.

“Instead of having a classroom that is set up for them with everything perfectly arranged, they are learning that things are dynamic, things change and the seasons change. The classroom is different every time they come in, which really builds their ability to become self-sufficient and empowers them in their learning,” she explained.

In 2019, Bailey Lininger opened Firefly Forest School to better connect students with the natural world.

“Both parents and educators want kids to experience an unplugged childhood as much as they can — one where they can dig for worms, balance on fallen tree trunks and splash in puddles,” said Lininger, the director of Firefly Forest School.

Firefly Forest School provides southeast Michigan children ages 3-10 with immersive, nature-based learning through enrich-

ment programming from nature preserves in the metro Detroit area.

“We love being able to complement a more traditional experience at a more traditional school with some time to just run and be free and play and climb and build and dig and do all the things that are a really important part of being a kid,” Lininger said.

Every class is held entirely outdoors every day, rain or shine, even in the chilly winter temperatures.

“We’re not just going outside for 20 minutes to play at recess or only when it’s nice and sunny and 75 degrees. We really work with our families and our kids to embrace all weather,” Lininger said.

Armed with the proper attire and outdoor gear, students are taught how to embrace the world around them as it is and use it as their classroom.

“The more time for unstructured play that you give kids in the natural world, the more creative they are, the more they learn, the more they deepen their growth and fine motor skills, the more they are able to explore and learn independently instead of just being guided, and the more opportunities they are given to be creative problem solvers, to think critically about things, to learn to be adaptable and flexible,” added Lininger.

Students are free to run, jump, splash and explore and, in the process, they are constantly learning and growing.

“One of the things that we really focus on in our program is instilling a sense of selfefficacy and capability in our kids. We’re really focused on giving our kids the chance to feel competent and capable — that’s something that we see a ton of growth in,” Lininger said. “We see a lot of confidence too.”
