Council candidates share goals, opinions at town hall City election to be held Nov. 7

BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com

The St. Clair Shores Women’s Civic League hosted a town hall Sept. 20 in the City Hall chambers, giving the six candi-

dates running for City Council a chance to tell the public more about who they are.

The candidates were asked questions provided by the public, as well as the Women’s Civic League. The candidates were given a minute each to answer the questions. The moderator for the event was Judge Mark A. Fratarcangeli of the 40th District Court.

The six candidates running for St. Clair Shores City Council on Nov. 7 are Linda Bertges, Kristine Crook, incumbent City Councilman Ronald Frederick, Jay Heck, Bryan Owens and incumbent City Councilman Chris Vitale.

After the opening introductions, the candidates were introduced by Fratarcangeli

and were each given two minutes to explain their candidacy and qualifications for the job. The candidates talked about where they went to school, any community involvement, goals for the city if elected, their occupation and much more.

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 Enter-

prises, 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 nonunionized auto supplier that specializes in gear shift levers and transmission components for heavy trucks.

In his return to Macomb County, Trump used his roughly hour-long speech to bash Democratic President See TRUMP on page 6A

three questions: Do you support the city’s plans for the American Rescue Plan Act funds, why or why not; how would you attract more business to other areas of the city beyond the Nautical Mile and the downtown area; and what is your position on the 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. parking rule written in the city ordinance?

The incumbents, Frederick and Vitale, spoke first about the ARPA funds question with Vitale saying they realized they needed to act quickly on the funds when they received them. He explained they decided to use the funds on updating the police headquarters, updating the fire stations, improvements to the library and infrastructure to separate stormwater.

“I think we’re going to bring some new buildings and some great projects to the city that’s going to be better for residents,” Vitale said.

Frederick said he thinks they are doing the right things and mentioned how the city replaced the architect for the fire station after they thought the first one wasn’t doing a great job.

“There’s not a lot of ARPA funds left

to spend, but I think we’re doing the right things and we’re going to be looking for other ways to fund some parts of what we’re already spending with other sources,” Frederick said.

Crook said she loves what the city is doing with the ARPA funds. She said it’s important to update the police and fire stations and the only thing she would add is a community center for kids to go to in the winter months.

“I would really love us to make sure that we’re focusing and spending money to upgrade those facilities because we have the best firefighters around and we need to be taking care of them,” Crook said.

Owens said he agrees with Crook in terms of police and fire and added the departments needed more attention than the pier. He said the pier is nice, but it should have been last on the list.

“I think that the fire station should have been put first, the police station should have been put second and see what we have left after that,” Owens said.

Bertges said she agreed with a lot that’s been said but that she thinks water quality is the most important thing to focus on.

“I think water quality is the most important thing because it affects all of our lives,” Bertges said. “And so I’m very much

Heck said he can’t disagree with any of the candidates who already spoke.

“I think they’ve covered everything,” Heck said. “Fire stations are, I believe, top of the list, then the police stations.”

Questions posed by the audience fo-

cused on what the current council is doing or not doing that the candidates think should be done or shouldn’t be done. The candidates were asked about their vision over the course of the next term, what they want to accomplish, what they view as the biggest challenge facing St. Clair Shores and how they intend to address it. They were also asked about their first objective if elected.

Metro Detroiters have an opportunity to see a wide swath of his work in “James Barnor: Accra/London — A Retrospective,” which is on display through Oct. 15 at the Detroit Institute of Arts. The DIA is the only museum in the United States that will be hosting this exhibition, and it also is the

At 12:24 p.m. on Sept. 26, a report was made about a larceny that occurred between Sept. 25 and Sept. 26 in the 22000 block of 12 Mile Road.

Upon arrival, an officer spoke to the victim, a 72-year-old man, who stated sometime overnight someone had damaged the driver’s side window on his vehicle. The victim’s vehicle was parked in his assigned carport. It appeared the suspect tried to pry the window down and in doing so damaged the window.

Entry was not gained.

Catalytic converters stolen from SMART buses

At 8:10 a.m. on Sept. 18, a report was made about a larceny that occurred between Sept. 15 and Sept. 18 at the St. Clair Shores Civic Arena, located at 20000 Stephens St. Upon arrival, an officer made contact with the complainant, a 35-year-old man who stated the catalytic converters of two SMART buses parked in the lots over the weekend were stolen. The man stated the vehicles were last seen on Sept. 15 around 4 p.m. and it was discovered that the catalytic converters were stolen on Sept. 18 around 6:45 a.m.

The man was provided with a report number, and he stated he would contact SMART to inform them of the theft. He said the third SMART bus was diesel and nothing was stolen from it.

DIA Director Salvador Salort-Pons, who called Barnor “a pioneering photographer,” said this “comprehensive survey … offers amazing views on the artist’s native Ghana,” as well as the African diaspora during a time of major social change.

The exhibition features about 170 works from Barnor’s archive of more than 30,000 images, dating from the 1950s through the 1980s. The original exhibition was organized in 2021 by London’s Serpentine galleries, where it was curated by Serpentine Chief Curator Lizzie Carey-Thomas

A 9-inch Diablo Sawzall blade was found on the ground between the two SMART buses. Pictures were taken of the buses and the blade. The blade was taken as evidence.

Political sign damage reported on Little Mack Avenue

At 4:43 p.m. on Sept. 26, a report was made about damage to property that occurred on the same day in the 28000 block of Little Mack Avenue.

An officer was working at the front desk and spoke with the victim, a 40-yearold woman who stated someone had spray painted her political sign. The sign was located at an apartment complex. The woman showed the officer the sign which was spray painted with red paint. The officer was unable to make out anything that was written on the sign. The woman stated she was also informed about another sign belonging to her, located at a restaurant, which was also spray painted.

Political sign theft reported on Ardmore Drive

At 5:45 p.m. on Sept. 23, a report was made about a larceny that occurred on the same day in the 22000 block of Ardmore Drive.

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 Clinton Township

Former President Donald Trump offered remarks before a crowd of supporters and auto workers at Drake Enterprises in Clinton Township on Sept. 27. 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 depart-

ments and all attendees for being respectful with each other.

Shipman appointed as city assessor At their Aug. 21 meeting, the St. Clair Shores City Council voted 7-0 to appoint Vicky Shipman as the new city assessor.

Shipman has been working for the city for 22 years and started in the Assessing Department. She started at the lowest level of assessing, Shipman said, and worked her way up as people left. When the previous assessor retired, she said she decided to apply for the job.

“Because we have worked with just two of us in the office very closely,” Shipman said of her decision. “So our community and our role is personal to us and I just wanted to continue on that Shipman good work that she had started.”

The work is very similar to the work she’s done before, but being in a supervisory position is different, Shipman said, and it’s something to get adjusted to.

Shipman said she is excited for this new chapter.

“I’m very familiar with the job and the process but to actually get to follow it through all the way is very exciting to me,” Shipman said.

Sweet treats, friendships made during Apple Pie Week Recently, the St. Clair Shores Senior Center hosted their Apple Pie Week and the participants raised money while having fun.

Matthew Hubinsky, Senior Center coordinator, said they had around 50 to 60 people each day to make pies. The tasks were spread between members of the center.

They made around 32 pies at a time, Hubinsky said, with each pie going for $14 apiece. They raised somewhere between $8,000 and $11,000.

“We were able to sell 1,000 pies and then raise money for our meal program,” Hubinsky said.

Hubinsky also said everyone had fun making the pies.

“When everyone’s coming in to volunteer to cut and peel, they were all just laughing and having a good time and talking and chatting,” Hubinsky said. “Some people made new friends, and some were meeting up with old friends and making new friends, so I think that’s a big part of it, too. Not just making pies, but the camaraderie of it all, too.”

The St. Clair Shores Public Library is hosting a middle school game day from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 14.

Trump from page 6A

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.

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 com-

ments 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 family-owned.

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.”

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.

Photo by James Barnor, provided by the Detroit Institute of Arts

Drum magazine cover model Erlin Ilbreck is photographed by James Barnor in London in 1966.

His subjects have included notable figures such as boxing legend Muhammad Ali and a former Ghanaian president, but Barnor didn’t elevate them above the ordinary people who populate most of his work.

“For James, there is no hierarchy among the images,” Carey-Thomas said. “They are all equally important and he often says people are more important than places.”

Even his advertising work is humancentric, with people dominating the image, not products.

Now in his 90s, Barnor lives in London.

and Awa Konaté, of Culture Art Society.

“This is the first major retrospective of his work,” Carey-Thomas said. “Nevertheless, he has a huge following.”

The Detroit retrospective was co-curated by DIA James Pearson Duffy Curator of Photography Nancy Barr, head of the Prints, Drawings and Photography Department, and African Art Curator Nii Quarcoopome.

“When I first saw photographs by James Barnor … I was struck by their quality and power,” Quarcoopome said.

Barr said Barnor’s work included fashion photography, photojournalism and editorial work. She noted that his images demonstrate his “passion for Ghanian music” and the fact that he is a “gifted storyteller and artist.” She said he also collaborated with Black models to showcase Black beauty.

Quarcoopome said Barnor’s photos showed how African society balanced modernity and tradition during this period.

“No history book can offer the kind of insights his photography provides. … Hopefully this exhibition succeeds in changing perceptions and misconceptions about Africa,” Quarcoopome said.

“Basically, it’s a way to expand Halloween over (more) than just one night and feature some of the talented residents of the city as well as giving back to the community,” Krutell said.

Krutell said between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. are the kid-friendly hours, and there are no monsters, goblins or ghouls out during that time.

There are some different houses included each year but members of the board who decorate their houses appear each year, Krutell said. After applications close on Oct. 9, the board members will tour the houses and pick the ones that will be a part of the tour.

“We do try to switch things up, but ultimately it is a contest and we go around and judge the houses and the displays with the board to choose our favorites,” Krutell said.

“Looking for different things like uniqueness, creativity, good lighting, (a) mix of store-bought, handmade.”

Featured houses will get a sign that tells guests that they are a featured home on the St. Clair Shores Halloween Tour, said Carrie Dimmer, a board member of the Halloween Tour.

There are rules for residents looking to participate as featured houses. Dimmer said no decorations are allowed on the city easement. There can be nothing political or religious, no additional fundraising or advertisements and nothing that could be construed as controversial or offensive included.

Residents must be available the two nights of the tour and lights must be visible from the street. The Halloween Tour board is also not responsible for damage or theft to personal property, Krutell said.

This is not a trick-or-treating event, and Krutell also said if they hear of any foul or inappropriate language or actions at the See HALLOWEEN on page 16A

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 period they sign up for. If severe weather occurs, class activities are moved into a licensed classroom at the See LEARNING on page 22A

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.

houses, that bans that house from future tours. This includes any scare actors hired for the event.

“There can be actors, it’s just if we get wind that actors are being inappropriate or saying crude remarks or any of that sort, that’s going to basically blacklist that house for the future,” Krutell said. “We want to make sure it’s an all-ages event.”

Guests are reminded not to go on featured houses’ lawns or go behind fences unless invited. Don’t touch anything including props, actors and other things.

“It’s a thing out of respect to not go tromping through someone’s front lawn,” Krutell said.

People enjoy the event and Krutell said she encourages those touring the houses to visit the local shops around the city as well.

She also said they see thousands of people over the two nights. Dimmer added they’ve had party buses consecutively for two years.

“Where people have made this a weekend event with their friends and take a party bus around,” Dimmer said. “We’ve also had people who have came to our houses that have drove as far as an hour away.”

She said it’s really cool when they know people are driving long distances to enjoy the event.

“Gives you a little bit of excitement knowing you’re doing something good for the area,” Dimmer said.

Both Krutell and Dimmer would like to say the event does generate revenue for the city.

For the past 21 years Gina Carriveau has owned The Loop Hair and Nail Salon. Recently Gina decided to add a separate room to her shop for tattooing. Her daughter Veronica, a self-taught artist, found a passion in body art.

After an extended period of time practicing and being mentored, Veronica was ready to tattoo!

Gina said, “ I saw such an opportunity. Body art has become such a huge thing and St Clair Shores and surrounding areas have welcomed it with open arms!”

There are very few hair salons in the country that also have tattooing available.

The salon has been completely remodeled to accommodate tattooing. When walking into the Loop, the salon is on one side and the tattoo studio is on the other side in a private room.

The Loop stylists, which include Gina, her daughter Deanna and Angela, all specialize in hair color, corrective colors and highlights. They offer haircut services for men, women and children.

The Loop has been a Paul Mitchell Focus Salon since 2009. Gina says “Being a Focus Salon means we get our education primarily from Paul Mitchell and we use and recommend Paul Mitchell Products.”

They also offer minimal nail services including manicure and pedicure and shellac.

Facial waxing is also available.

The Loop Hair and Tattoo Studio is located at 25837 Jefferson Ave.in St Clair Shores. For an appointment in the salon, call (586) 772-5667(loop), for a tattoo consultation or an appointment, text Veronica at (586) 569-9625 or Instagram @ Vgracetats.

“I think that it was a really good starting point in building a stronger sense of community within St. Clair Shores as well because this event has kind of snowballed and started other similar events and activities too that are also started by residents,” Krutell said.

Michael Miller, a co-founder of the Halloween Tour, said they host the Halloween Tour for the love of Halloween. He explained it’s to bring the Halloween spirit back to the city like it was when they were kids.

“You don’t have to be a kid to have that (feeling). You can be an adult to have it, too, and we want to provide that to them,” Miller said.

Dimmer added she thinks this event has brought trick or treating back to the city as well.

“I’ve been a resident here for 10 years,” Dimmer said. “The amount of kids that used to come through my neighborhood 10 years ago when I moved into the neighborhood versus now since we’ve had this event the last five years has literally quadrupled.”

Miller said the most important rule is to come out and have fun.

“Come out — enjoy it,” Miller said. “Get involved. Laugh and scream.”

To apply to be considered as a featured house on the tour, message the Halloween Tour on Facebook at St. Clair Shores Halloween Tour, or email scshalloween@aol.com. The board requests the name, address and a photo of the display in the application. If a current photo of the display is not available, one from a previous year is fine.

Those participating as guests are encouraged to share their photos from the tour by using the hashtag #scshalloween. The Instagram page for the event is @scshalloween.

Bertges said her first task would be to focus on the water problems in the city. She spoke about a friend who calls her about basement flooding in the event of a heavy rainfall and the new improvements being made to fix it.

“I want to continue working towards making sure that our water quality is good and that our residents aren’t having huge problems with their homes,” Bertges said.

Heck agreed with Bertges about water quality. He added another issue that needs to be addressed is littering.

“Working at the parks I see it all the time,” Heck said. “This is not just kids; it’s adults. People throwing stuff out the window, just leaving stuff and you just have to work on things like that as a community to make everything better.”

Vitale said the biggest challenge is keeping the momentum going within the City Council.

“I think we’re going to head into a very uncertain economy, and we may see another drop in real estate values,” Vitale said.

“There’s a lot of things trending that way.”

He also said the council’s “rainy day” fund balance will be an asset in difficult economic times.

Frederick said the biggest challenge is always the budget and that he wants to make sure that the city is healthy in terms of finances.

“Really, the challenge is to make sure that the budget is accurate enough that we can not only do what we do on a daily basis but to cover off on all of these things that

could be emergencies down the road,” Frederick said.

Crook said the first thing she wants to do is establish a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee within the city.

“There are a lot of small things where improvements can be made and maybe that’s even a place where we utilize the north end by having a large festival that celebrates the diversity in this community and brings us together in another way,” Crook said.

She also wants to work on a multijurisdictional task force to clean up Lake St. Clair.

Owens said he believes infrastructure is important.

“If we’re going to start building up, we need to look at what’s under the roads, what’s under the streets,” Owens said. “And we need to widen the streets a little bit, too.”

At the end of the town hall, candidates offered closing remarks and reasons why the public should vote for them. Fratarcangeli thanked the Women’s Civic League and asked the audience to consider joining the league.

Women’s Civic League Vice President Sarah DeDonatis said the Women’s Civic League has provided more than 80 years of service to the city. The members aren’t given any money or assistance by the city or the county, she said.

“We are (a) fully run volunteer group and we do things like providing this town hall as a nonpartisan service to our community to ensure that the right to vote is also the right to vote educated,” DeDonatis said.

The video of the town hall is available on the St. Clair Shores website at scsmi.net and at the city’s media center.

Councilman John Caron and Mayor Kip Walby presented the awards. Caron said the Beautification Commission keeps the city beautiful every month of the year by taking care of Christmas decorations, planting in the spring and maintaining flower beds throughout the summer.

The awards were given to recognize the effort the residents and businesses put into their properties to keep the Shores beautiful.

The residents who were recognized were Robert and Frances Alexander, Jimmie and Jeanne Limback and Esther Bianchi.

The businesses that were recognized were GTJ Consulting, St. Margaret of Scotland and Dr. Jehan Wakeem Dentistry.

Beautification Commission gives out residential, business awards

Last farmers markets, social districts quickly approaching

As the leaves start to change and the temperature drops, the last farmers markets and social district events are quickly approaching.

The last farmers market will be from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 12, and the holiday market will be from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Dec. 10 at Blossom Heath.

The last social district events of the year will be from 5 p.m. to midnight on Oct. 14 and Oct. 28.

Henry Bowman, St. Clair Shores Parks and Recreation director, said the farmers market has gone really well with great crowds and great entertainment. He said at the Oct. 12 farmers market, there will be a pumpkin patch and they will also have people carving pumpkins.

“Kids can watch them carving, and they’ll be able to pick out their own pumpkins,” Bowman said.

He said the only problem is there won’t be many pumpkins available due to how wet the season has been.

Learning

from page 14A

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 enrichment 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,

Farmington Hills Nature Center’s Heritage Park Nature Preschool lead teacher Sharon Detter reads a story to students.

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 con-

stantly 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.”
