WARREN — In the last few months, the Warren Fire Department has held ceremonies for two new fire stations. The department held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Fire Station No. 5 — located on Schoenherr Road — in late July. A ceremony for the new Fire Station No. 1, on Van Dyke Avenue south of Center Line, was held at the end of September. Both stations are significantly larger than the old ones, coming in at around 13,000-square feet. They have individual sleeping quarters, a living space separate from where firefighters will decontaminate after a fire, and other state-of-the-art technology. However, the department hasn’t officially moved into either station yet.

WARREN — On the one-year anniversary of their deaths, family members of Cedric Hayden Jr. and DeJuan Pettis gathered at the corner of Schoenherr Road and Prospect Avenue in Warren, holding red and blue balloons and praying. “We’re Detroit fans, we always loved the blue. My son loved the color red. We did a mixture of that together,” said Cedric Hayden Sr., Cedric Hayden Jr.’s father. Former Warren police officer James Burke was driving a police SUV,

‘All 4 Emma’ comedy fundraiser to benefit family of 3-year-old KID DESCRIBED AS AN ‘ABSOLUTE WARRIOR’ BY BRIAN WELLS bwells@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Alyssa Slanec describes her daughter as a ball of joy. She also said her daughter has met her cancer diagnosis with strength. “She’s been through more than most adults, and she has handled it better than most adults,” she said. Slanec’s daughter, 3-year-old Emma Hartkorn, was

diagnosed with stage three renal cancer in December 2024. She had a tumor, and the cancer had taken over most of her abdomen, her entire left kidney and had migrated into her inferior vena cava, a vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the heart. It was centimeters away from her heart, Slanec said. After Emma had surgery to remove the tumor and her left kidney, the doctors believed they had gotten everything, Slanec said, so she and her husband decided to hold off on any chemo or radiation until doctors could confirm if she was cancer-free. See EMMA on page 25A

John Waite gives ‘Best of What I Got’ BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

WARREN — Suzanne Finley is probably John Waite’s biggest fan. The Dryden resident has attended his concerts since 1985, including shows at Sterlingfest, the Magic Bag in Ferndale, Pine Knob in Clarkston and the Ritz in Roseville (with Bad English). She even drove to Cincinnati once to see him live.

Finley first discovered the singer/songwriter as a kid when listening to her sister’s albums by the Babys, a rock band Waite fronted from 1975 to 1981 with songs like “Back on My Feet Again” and “Midnight Rendezvous.” Finley marked her 45th John Waite show when he performed Sept. 27 at the Andiamo Celebrity Showroom in Warren. While Finley knows his hits, she also appreciates the deep cuts. See JOHN WAITE on page 6A

NEW STEM CENTER OPENS AT DE LA SALLE BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

WARREN — Completing a project several years in the making, the new Steve & Kathy McShane STEM Innovation Center has opened at De La Salle Collegiate High School. A grand opening was held the evening of Oct. 9 at the all-boys Catholic high school. Those in attendance included donors, parents, staff, alumni and students. Steve McShane and his wife Kathy pledged a multimillion-dollar gift to De La Salle to construct the world-class science, technology, engineering and math center. McShane attended DLS when the school was located in Detroit. The 1961 graduate spoke at last Thursday’s unveiling. With Kathy by his side, McShane said the STEM center will prepare students for careers that did not exist when he was in high school. “It’s a place where big ideas will be born, tested and maybe blown up in the lab sometimes,” he said. “Today’s students are launching rockets, flying drones, building robots and will soon be (doing) artificial intelligence. The STEM center is about dedicated teachers and a world-class curriculum where young men thrive. “It’s designed to open doors to higher education. It’s a place to explore, share ideas, learn, fail and try again,” McShane said. “STEM is just not for engineering careers.

It will be about advancing technology. Machines can model data, but they can’t duplicate human wisdom.” He also thanked his wife for her support. “Kathy shares my passion and commitment to De La Salle,” he said. McShane also had a message for the students. “Be bold, stay curious,” he said. “Don’t fear change.” The school will turn 100 years old in 2026. McShane is the CEO of Midtronics, Inc., which he founded in 1984. Midtronics is a global market leader in battery testers and diagnostic chargers for traditional automotive electric systems, as well as the service equipment for electrical vehicle batteries. Midtronics possesses more than 200 patents in battery management technology. It has twice been named Chicago’s most innovative company by Crain’s Chicago Business. Ben Aloia, chairman of De La Salle’s board of trustees, said the STEM center will be a place where “curiosity meets innovation” as “STEM careers are growing six times faster than other occupations.” The Steve & Kathy McShane STEM Innovation Center has two floors. The first floor includes a makerspace, and areas for medical and engineering classes, an engineering lab and the Anatomage Table. The See STEM CENTER on page 12A

MCC AGAIN NAMED ‘VETERAN-FRIENDLY SCHOOL’

MACOMB COUNTY — For the 10th straight year, the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency recognized Macomb Community College as a certified Veteran-Friendly School, awarding the college gold-level recognition for the 2025-26 school year. The VFS program was created by MVAA to recognize colleges and universities across Michigan that demonstrate a commitment to supporting veterans, active-duty service members and their families in utilizing their GI Bill and navigating other educational resources. Colleges can earn gold, silver and bronze level status. To earn gold-level status, an institution must meet six of MVAA’s seven judging criteria. They are:

an established process for identification of current student veterans; veteran-specific website; active student veteran organization or club; veteran-specific career services, resources, advising, and/or outcome monitoring; on-campus veterans’ coordinator and/or designated staff point of contact; system to evaluate and award academic credit based on prior military training and experience; and monitoring and evaluation of student veteran academic retention, progress and graduation rates. MVAA is a state government agency operating under the Michigan Department of Military and Veteran Affairs. It serves as the central coordinating point for Michigan veterans, connecting those who have served in the U.S. armed forces and their families to services and benefits throughout the state.

John Waite from page 3A

“It never gets old. I’ve just been a superfan,” she said. “I love his lyricism. He’s very poetic. He’s an excellent, excellent songwriter.” Waite not only plays his heart out on stage, but after the show he and his band members generally come out and meet their fans. Finley has met Waite 16 times. “He’s always very nice,” she said. “I feel like he really appreciates his fans.” “I’ve got a loyal following,” said Waite, a native of Lancaster, England. “There’s a bond we share. That’s the connection. It’s been kind of a wonderful life. We just want to play. It’s what I do.” Waite has played annually at Andiamo since 2020. Joining him on stage last month was bassist Tim Hogan, also his manager; drummer Alan Childs, and guitarist Kyle Cook of Matchbox 20. “The band are great guys. We’re friends. They’re dedicated,” Waite said. “When we get together, it’s powerful. Everybody gets up there and plays like it’s their last night on earth.” Warren resident Beth Morrow caught last month’s show. “Not only did his voice stand the test of time, the band did an amazing job as well,” she said. “It was so wonderful to see John and his band afterwards for a short meet and greet. Each one of them took a moment to chat and sign personal memorabilia.”

‘It’s one of those songs you wait your whole life to write’

When reflecting on the Babys, Waite said it was almost impossible for the band to get a record deal. “We didn’t get signed until we made a video,” he said. “We

looked different. We looked like mods with long hair.” With a setlist that included “Head First” and “Isn’t It Time,” the Babys enjoyed moderate success, but after five years of touring, Waite said, “We were making zero money, and it just fell apart.” It was time for a “Change.” Waite launched his solo career with 1982’s “Ignition.” The album featured the song “Change,” which experienced heavy rotation during the early days of MTV. Two years later, he scored his first No. 1 hit on the Billboard chart with “Missing You.” When writing the single, he knew it would be a hit. “It meant all things to everyone. It applied to all different situations,” said Waite, who has 2.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify. “It’s one of those songs you wait your whole life to write.” Waite said having the most popular song in the U.S. is “an interesting place. You really feel like you’ve achieved something. It was something I didn’t take lightly.” In Waite’s case, it’s unclear which came first: the musician or the songwriter. “There’s also the argument, is it poetry or is it music?” said Waite, influenced by the guitar riffs of Jimi Hendrix and the blues of John Mayall. “The songs I love the most are the ones with interesting lyrics. To marry storytelling into music, that’s the challenge.” He said the Beatles’ “Paperback Writer” is one example. “What a topic,” Waite said. “You didn’t see that coming.” When songwriting, Waite is inspired by the world around him. For instance, he penned the ballad “Downtown” after living in New York City. “A mom trying to find things for her kids at a Goodwill store or the guy sitting in a coffee shop by himself,” Waite said. “There’s a million stories. People go through so much.” See JOHN WAITE on page 7A

‘He had so many great songs. His band was great too.’

In 1987, Waite reconnected with former Babys member Jonathan Cain, who had joined Journey, and Ricky Phillips, Journey guitarist Neal Schon and drummer Deen Castronovo to form Bad English. They recorded two albums, producing a hit with “When I See You Smile,” and disbanded in ‘91. Waite never stopped playing music and continued to write, record and tour. At one point, country music got a hold of him when he moved to Nashville and became friends with bluegrass artist Alison Krauss. The pair recorded “Missing You” as a duet. A highlight was performing Vince Gill’s “Whenever You Come Around” in three different music keys at the Grand Ole Opry. Sterling Heights resident Karen Martellaro never misses a John Waite show at Andiamo. “Every time I go, it’s a treat. I like the variety of music. I like how he plays his solo stuff, his music with the Babys and he breaks out Bad English,” she said. “It’s a great venue. It’s a fun night. I think the band is a fine-

tuned machine. They all work well together.” She also hangs with the other fans to meet Waite. “He’s a class act all the way around. If you’re lucky enough to meet him, you will have even more respect for him not only as an artist but as a person,” she said. “He’s kind, generous and patient. He goes out of his way to talk to his fans, take pictures and sign autographs.” “I know it means a lot to people,” Waite said. Local musician Vito Lafata also saw the concert at Andiamo with his girlfriend Sandy, who suggested they get tickets. “He was much better than I thought he would be, “said Lafata, of St. Clair Shores. “I’m only vaguely familiar with his music, so it was a pleasant surprise to hear how great he still sings. He had so many great songs. His band was great, too.” Presently, Waite is recording new music with songs he is determined to release. He said he hopes to play some larger venues again because that’s where “the music just explodes.” If he had his way, he’d also like to do a storytelling tour. “The album I am making at the moment is lyric driven,” he said. “No song is ever sung the same way twice. That makes it worthwhile.”

SHIRLEY GLASS TERRACE OPENS, SHOWCASES CULINARY ARTS STUDENTS

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Macomb Community College accounting professor Shirley Glass was an instructor at the school for 55 years, encouraging her students to strive for their personal best and also mentoring her colleagues when needed. Outside the classroom, the avid art collector could often be found at local art fairs, visiting the Detroit Institute of Arts, or taking in a performance at the Detroit Opera House. Glass died in 2021. She was 78 and her legacy lives on. Glass, who taught more than 600 classes from 1966 to 2021, gifted MCC her estate by making a $3.2 million donation. According to a college press release, that marked the largest individual contribution in the school’s history. The donation was put towards constructing a new outdoor dining area at Center Campus called the Shirley Glass Terrace. The new space honors the longtime educator. “While up-to-date resources, technology and facilities are vital to supporting the work of Macomb Community College, it’s the people of the college that truly make a difference in the lives of our students, residents and community,” MCC President James O. Sawyer IV said in a prepared statement. “Shirley Glass is a shining example. She was wholeheartedly committed to her

students, to her colleagues and to the critical role Macomb plays now and in the future of Macomb County.” The Shirley Glass Terrace is part of a major renovation located adjacent to the Macomb Culinary Institute’s teaching restaurant, the Monarque. The Shirley Glass Terrace and the Monarque are in the final stages of preparation and inspections, and will open soon. As part of the reimagining of the teaching restaurant, culinary arts, pastry arts and hospitality management students could submit suggestions for a new name to replace Center Stage. The winning entry, Monarque, was submitted by Christina Thompson, a pastry arts student who graduates in December. The Mount Clemens resident won a $250 Macomb scholarship. The Monarque teaching restaurant includes an expanded and modernized dining area, a new open-concept kitchen, a fully functional beverage service and training bar, and a formal entrance. The goal of the renovation is to better simulate real-world industry conditions and provide Macomb’s students with hands-on professional learning experiences and the community with firstclass dining experiences. According to the press release, Glass was instrumental in developing and expanding the accounting program at MCC. Ac-

Local resources make staying active this winter easier than ever BY SCOTT BENTLEY

Open enrollment felt overwhelming with all the ads and options. Reaching out to HAP was the best decision. Their representatives patiently explained the plans, and I ended up with better dental and medical coverage while saving money each month. Highly recommend HAP! - Connie N., Clinton Twp

METRO DETROIT — It’s easy to be active in the summer heat, but in the winter, it can sometimes feel like there are fewer opportunities to get out and continue moving. As the temperature outside finally begins to drop, it’s important to remain active. The good news is that these days there are plenty of resources to help people of all ages get out of the house during the cold months. In the metro Detroit area, there’s everything from indoor classes and leagues to full-blown gyms with trainers. “It’s very important to move your body… from someone that’s 20 to someone that’s 80,” Peak Physique of Troy co-owner Nick Pietrykowski said. “And one of the biggest things that we try and do is make sure the client is not making this a chore.” Peak Physique of Troy offers not just personal trainers, but life coaches to help you get the most out of each and every day all year round. Taking care of your body year-round also goes beyond just physical benefits. It’s a great way to improve your mental health during days that may be cold and dark. “I feel like that’s the biggest thing when you get into winter — the mental health aspect of it,” Pietrykowski said. “We’re sitting more, we don’t want to go outside. As winter hits we still need blood flow and oxygen.” Age shouldn’t stop anyone from accomplishing this, either. If anything, it’s even more important to continue getting out as often as possible as a senior. The health benefits will be rewarding and noticeable. See ACTIVE on page 11A

“Try to include things that you’ll enjoy doing, because you’ll be more apt to do them,” Madison Heights Active Adult Center supervisor Jennifer Cowan said. “I think if you take the winter off it’s going to be really difficult, in the spring, to get back up and do the things you want to do.” The Madison Heights Active Adult Center hosts a multitude of activities in the winter. Not only are there classes and groups meeting all the time, but the location also offers a free exercise equipment room and an indoor walking path so that you can use the center even if you can’t make a class. “One of our guiding mindsets here is that the longer you stay active, the longer you’re able to do things on your own and remain independent, the longer you can stay in your home, and you can continue to do the things you want to do. I think it all connects,” Cowan said. There are so many health benefits to working out as a senior, but a full-blown workout plan isn’t necessarily required to reap those benefits. There are tons of activi-

ties offered in the area that simply get the blood pumping a little bit and provide an excuse to see others. “We have a ton of different classes like yoga, chair yoga, Pilates, line dancing, and ballroom dancing, too,” said Matthew Dubinsky, the St. Clair Shores Senior Activity Center’s senior coordinator. “It’s yearround, so they can be consistent at it. We can keep people moving all year.” The center is also doing balance classes through the Macomb County Health Department and has done classes that teach people how to shop for healthier meals, too. These places are more than just workout spots. They have become pillars of the community where everyone is safe, welcome and encouraged to socialize all yearround. “They come to the senior center and it’s not just doing yoga or a fitness class. It’s really the mental stimulation part of it, too,” Dubinsky said. “I think that’s one of the best parts of it.” To set up a conversation with a life coach and learn more about Peak Physique of Troy, go to peakphysiquetroy.com.

Navigating the world of health care, Medicare and voluntary benefits for individuals and groups can be a full-time job. It’s not something an individual or business owner can do on their own when other duties call. That’s where Reaume Benefits Advisors/Senior Health Advisors can help. RBA (Reaume Benefits Advisors) has been in business since 2003 and has stayed on top of all the changes to Medicare and the benefits marketplace. Now open on Big Beaver Road in Troy, owner Art Reaume said there’s no cost for a consultation with his team of experts advising individuals and business owners looking to offer employees the best benefits. “We specialize in small- to medium-sized group benefits which include health care from all the major carriers,” Reaume said. “We also

have individual plans that one of our agents can provide consultation about.” An initial fact-finding meeting will let Reaume’s team discover what each client’s needs are and what the budget will allow. The team will then examine the plan design you have, and if you don’t have one, will help you decide and understand what that would entail. “We work as consultants for people on Medicare. We help them decide which of the plans is going to best fit their needs for both prescription drug coverage and doctor network,” Reaume said. “We guide them on what plan makes the most sense for them.” For business group coverage, RBA identifies the needs of the group to work within a budget that allows them to offer benefits. “Benefits are the biggest issue for employers right now, and it helps employee retention for the employer,” Reaume said. “Being able to offer the proper plan and do it in an affordable manner is very critical.” Available benefits now include potential access to a memory loss

second floor has room for flight simulation, and lecture rooms for robotics, aviation and cybersecurity. The classes in the STEM center will include intro to STEM, robotics, intro to aviation, medical interventions, biomedical innovation, among others. The Anatomage Table is a human 3D anatomy system that allows for students to explore human anatomy. The Anatomage Table features various life-size real human bodies in digital formats that provide an accurate representation and simulation of real 3D anatomy, physiology, and digital pathology. Anatomage is a medical equipment manufacturer in Santa Clara, California. During the center’s grand opening, Jeffrey Sweet, senior regional sales representative for the Ohio Valley Region at Anatomage, demonstrated how the table works. “The students can use it in many different ways and learn about the body,” Sweet said. “They can see it at the cellular level. They can see cancer, broken bones, stabbings, breast biopsies, how epidurals work, where to place a stent, pregnancy, birth and do clinical studies.” During the unveiling, Msgr. Gary Smetanka, Class of 1974 and the pastor of Our Lady Star of the Sea in Grosse Pointe Woods, blessed the new center by sprinkling holy water. He also recited several prayers. The grand opening Oct. 9 marked Chief Operations Officer Dan Rohn’s first 100 days in office. “It’s been a tremendous start of the school year,” he said. “What an incredible day for De La Salle. Steve and Kathy, your generosity will impact the school and community for years to come. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of the De La Salle students.” Call Staff Writer Maria Allard at (586) 498-1045.

The Ukrainian National Women’s League of America is turning 100 years old, and the Detroit Region is celebrating its 90-year anniversary.

Ukrainian National Women’s League of America turns 100 CELEBRATION WILL BE OCT. 26 WARREN — In 1925, a group of women formed the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America. Early on, its goal was to inform others about events in Ukraine, spiritually and materially support the homeland, and promote the preservation of Ukrainian national identity in the U.S. According to member Natalie Marz, UNWLA is located in 16 states with 67 branches with 1,700 members. The group will celebrate its 100-year anniversary with a luncheon, fashion show and music at 1 p.m. Oct. 26 at the Ukrainian Cultural Center, located at 26601 Ryan Road. The centennial will mark their achievements and ongoing endeavors. The Detroit Region, which came together in 1935, also is celebrating its 90-year anniversary. Oksanna Grudz is the regional president. Since 2022, the members have raised $100,000 for various causes, including therapy for children traumatized by the war in Ukraine, generators, supplies and support for female Ukrainian soldiers, and the Babusi Fund to assist the elderly women of Ukraine. UNWLA not only assists with Ukrainian causes but has financially supported relief efforts after natural disasters in the U.S. including the floods and fires in California and Arkansas. For ticket information to the Oct. 26 celebration, contact Natalie Marz at (248) 8216100. — Maria Allard

counting professor Brian Newman was the executor of Glass’s estate. He first met Glass in 2014 when he was hired at the college. “She welcomed me on the first day like a family member. Shirley was a very kind and generous individual. She had a heart of gold. If you had any questions, people looked to her to see what we were supposed to do,” Newman said. “She loved to go out to eat with good food and frequented the Culinary Arts Department. It just shows the love she had for the college, the institution and the students. This is a final tribute to her legacy. “It’s an extension of the culinary program. These are students that are doing all the work,” Newman said. “I got a sneak peek. It’s gorgeous. Everything is beautiful. It’s really like a hidden gem of the college. The culinary faculty does a phenomenal job.” Mike Balsamo, dean of business, information technology and culinary at MCC, said the terrace brings together Glass’s three greatest passions: education, food and community. The culinary arts students take a number of courses that include culinary techniques, sanitation, table service, baking, wine appreciation, artisan and special breads, and much more. “A lot of students are ready for employment at local places. A lot of them work in country clubs,” Balsamo said. “A lot of them want to go into catering. With younger students, they want to be entrepreneurs. They want to own food trucks or open up a bake shop on their own.” One class Balsamo has observed firsthand is plated desserts. “You can really see the creativity of the students. There is a little bit of an artistic component,” he said. “The challenge is not just to bake but the presentation is very important.” Balsamo worked with Glass for about five years. “She had a big, booming teacher’s voice and was always very approachable,” he said. “She liked to have the students work together. She was big on tutoring so she could spend time with students who needed help. She was always a great colleague.” Call Staff Writer Maria Allard at (586) 498-1045.

Maintenance is critical for older homes, like the historic Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores. When hiring a contractor for an older home, make sure that contractor specializes in working on older buildings, not modern ones. Photos provided by the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House

Pick the right contractor for work on older homes BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Older homes have unique architectural details and character that modern homes can never fully replicate, but as anyone who’s ever owned one can attest, with that age comes the need for more repairs and renovations. And while some projects can be done by the homeowner, many require a skilled professional. That’s why it’s so critical to hire the right contractor. It’s something Rebecca Torsell, director of historic preservation for the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores, knows well. On Oct. 2, Torsell gave the talk, “Caring for Your Historic Home: A Guide to Hiring Right” at the Ford House. One of the most important things a homeowner can do is hire a contractor who specializes in working on older homes. Look at the kinds of projects they’ve done and check their website for words like “historic” or “preservation,” Torsell said. “Modern buildings and historic buildings are very different from each other,” Torsell said. A contractor should know the material needs of older homes, such as using copper nails on slate roofs. For anything built before 1950, Torsell said masons should be using Type O or lime mortars, not Type N or Quikrete. Referrals are one of the best ways to find a contractor, as is asking a contractor you know and trust who they use for a particular type of work. Another resource is the Michigan Historic Preservation Network directory, which lists a wide array of contractors from across the state. Torsell said homeowners still need to do their homework, as contractors pay for these listings, but it’s a good place to start. Visit mhpn.

org and under the Resources tab, click on the MHPN Resource Directory. Torsell said maintenance is “the first line of defense.” For example, trimming trees so they’re not touching the roof helps to keep bugs out and painting wood protects it from rotting. Homeowners should look for contractors who’ve worked on similar projects, are insured, licensed and possibly bonded, and have the proper equipment to tackle the job, Torsell said. Define the scope of the project and what your goals are, Torsell said. Then, determine what kind of contractor you need for that type of work and learn as much as you can about how that work should be done. The National Park Service has dozens of articles — called “Preservation Briefs” — on its website that provide insight into historical building work topics, including roofing and masonry. Visit nps.gov/orgs/1739/preservation-briefs. htm to read them. Torsell advises discussing the payment schedule up front and never giving a contractor a deposit of more than 50%. She said it’s a red flag if a contractor wants a homeowner to sign an agreement or put down a deposit immediately. “Individuals should watch for high-pressure sales tactics, upfront fees, and businesses that do not have references to vouch for their work,” said Nakia Mills, vice president of digital and brand marketing for the Better Business Bureau of Michigan, via email. Besides checking the BBB directory online to see if the business has been rated or reviewed, the BBB tells homeowners to search the company’s name along with words such as “scam,” “review” or “complaint,” to see what comes up. “Ask about training, certifications, and background checks for the company employees or subcontractors,” the

BBB stated in a press release. “Additionally, inquire about what kind of identification they’ll show when they arrive at your home.” Get multiple bids — at least three, if possible. “Remember, the lowest bid for your remodeling project may not necessarily be the best bid; if one offer is significantly lower than the others, the contractor may be cutting corners or may not understand your work requirements,” the BBB stated. “Alternately, higher bids might include an emergency budget or even different tiers of service. Carefully consider the ‘why’ behind these bids before making a final decision.” Good contractors, said Torsell, take the time to explain their work thoroughly, communicate with and respond to customers, are passionate about what they do, clean up after themselves and often have generational experience after learning the craft from a relative. With the exception of plumbers, Torsell said contractors shouldn’t charge a fee for a site visit. The BBB said homeowners should get everything in writing, including estimates. Regardless of the project, Torsell said homeowners should set aside a contingency of at least 10% to 15%. “In preservation, you should always expect the unexpected,” she said. Bill Sikora, of Sterling Heights, an attendee at Torsell’s lecture, knows this personally, having been involved in restoration projects at the homes of two family members. He recommended having an even larger contingency than 15%. “There’s always going to be someone uncovering something,” Sikora said of projects involving older homes. For more information, send an email to info@fordhouse.org or visit BBB.org/con tractors.

Vigil from page 1A

allegedly without emergency lights and sirens at speeds of more than 110 mph, on Schoenherr in Warren at around 5 a.m. Sept. 30, 2024, when he hit a white Dodge Durango that was attempting to turn left onto Prospect. The Durango’s driver, Hayden Jr., 34, and its passenger, Pettis, 33, were both killed. Burke and the officer he was with sustained serious injuries. Cedric Hayden Sr. said the last time he saw his son, he was sitting on the front porch talking to Pettis about an upcoming Lions game. Standing at the corner where the crash occurred, he said he can still see it in his mind. “I visualize the whole thing, from the time I got the phone call until the time I (saw) them laying out there,” he said. “I see it every day, all day long. It hurts. It hurts very bad.” Charisse Brown, Pettis’ mother, was comforted by friends and family as she was overcome with grief, saying she needs justice for her son. “I need my son,” she said. “I love my son. I miss my son. It’s been a year today that I have not seen my son. It hurts to lose your loved one this way.” James Harrington, an attorney with Fieger Law who is representing the families in a lawsuit they filed against the city, said the turnout shows how much the men were loved. “They were children. They were fathers. They were brothers,” Harrington said. “They

were friends, they were cousins, and they are missed so incredibly much, and it’s brought this family even closer together.” Burke is facing two counts of manslaughter with a motor vehicle, a 15-year felony; one count of committing a moving violation causing serious impairment of a body function, a 93-day misdemeanor; and willful neglect of duty by a public officer, a one-year misdemeanor. He was bound over for trial at the conclusion of his preliminary exam hearing Aug. 15 and is scheduled to appear in Macomb County Circuit Court for a pretrial conference later this month. Cedric Hayden Sr. said the amount of people at the vigil reminded him that his son was well-loved. “My son was well-loved,” he said. “He was well-loved by a lot of friends, family everywhere.” Call Staff writer Brian Wells at (248) 291-7637.

Due to a delay in supplies, furniture and inspections pushed back by the state budget, the station is not yet operational.

Stations from page 1A

Warren Fire Commissioner Skip McAdams said Fire Station No. 1 is at about 97% completion, while Fire Station No. 5 is at 99%. “They told me that the easy part is constructing the station, and the hard part is the last 2%, which is all the little things,” he said. While some of the holdup comes from waiting for things like furniture to be delivered and systems to be installed and turned online, a big part of it is tied to the recent delay in the approval of the state budget. “They wouldn’t schedule our boiler inspection until the budget was signed. We don’t know where we’re at in the queue, because obviously we’re not the only project with the state,” McAdams said. “This fight has been going on for months, and the state stopped scheduling boiler inspections even before the budget ended.” The Michigan House of Representatives and Senate had until Oct. 1 to approve a balanced, bipartisan budget. They failed to do it, resulting in the state government shutting down in addition to the federal government shutdown. On Oct. 1, Gov.

Gretchen Whitmer signed a budget extension allowing the state to continue operating until a budget was reached. Whitmer signed the budget on Oct. 7. Both fire stations will have a traffic signal outside that they can control when there’s an emergency. McAdams said the light had been installed early by the state outside of Station No. 1, but the county has been late in the permitting process. “The state installed the traffic signal early; the county is late. You would think it would be the other way around, but we finally got through all of the permitting processes with the county,” he said. At Station No. 1, the lights are attached to wires running above the street. At Station No. 5, they will be attached to a mast, which McAdams said has been ordered but will take several more weeks to be delivered. At a recent meeting, McAdams said he pushed for a more concrete date that the stations will be open and operational. “I wish I had solid answers for you. I’m watching people working here, and it’s this close. I can anticipate it, but I don’t have a date yet,” he said. “We had a meeting yesterday, and I pressed for it, like give me something tangible. As soon as they know, I will know. But I’m hopeful. I remain hopeful.”

Classic cars combine conversation and camaraderie BY MARIA ALLARD

allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — When it comes to metro Detroit car shows, the camaraderie between gearheads is on display as much as the classic cars. Checking under the hoods of hot rods while sharing stories of drag racing back in the day is how car buffs bond over their vintage rides. Scott Fritts cruised on over to at least 10 classic car shows this past summer. “It’s just hanging out with the guys talking about how much money we put into our cars,” said Fritts, who owns a blue 2017 Ford Mustang. “We’ll talk for hours on end to other people. It’s just relaxing. Family and friends stop by.” On Sept. 27, the Auburn Hills resident attended the Jammin’ at the Junction classic car show in Roseville with co-worker Bill Burke and his son, Ryan Burke. Jammin’ at the Junction is an annual event that the Roseville Downtown Development Authority hosts on Utica Road between Gratiot Avenue and 12 Mile Road. Car buffs displayed their souped-up vehicles, customized motorcycles and more. “It’s a local event so I don’t have to go far for it,” said Bill Burke, a Roseville resident and owner of a 1979 Plymouth Arrow, which he calls his Poison Arrow. “We like to see what other people have done to their cars.” The trio is always tinkering in their garages to make the cars their own. “We’re guys that don’t buy it from the factory,” Fritts said. “We change everything,” Bill Burke said. “We put our own personal preferences and what we like,” said Ryan Burke, of Shelby Township. They would also like to see younger generations carry on the classic car tradition, something that seems to be missing. Over at another spot at Jammin’ at the Junction, Chris Mielke and his wife, Ada Mielke, of Roseville; their uncle, John Mielke, of St. Clair Shores; and friend Larry Roberson, of Clinton Township, spent the day taking in the car culture. Although Roberson doesn’t have a classic car, “I just hang out with the guys. I’m here with good people. There are different walks of life but a common ground around here.” “We sit back and have a good time,”

John Mielke said. “I like the old school cars. It brings back nostalgia,” said Ada Mielke, owner of a 1994 Ford Mustang GT convertible. “I like the sounds, the rumbles, the smell of the old gas.” Chris Mielke’s dad, Ken Mielke, who was John’s brother, owned a red 1965 Plymouth Barracuda and was always at Jammin’ at the Junction. Ken died in 2021, but his family kept up the tradition of attending

car shows. “He won a trophy his last year here, and two months later he was gone,” John Mielke said. “He did all the work in his garage, including painting it.” Ken Mielke was an influence on his son, Chris. “I was born into cars. I started building my first Jeep at 14,” Chris Mielke said. “I still own it. I was literally brought up at the old Mount Clemens race track. My mom took

cotton out of the blanket into our ears because it was so loud.” On Sept. 28, the good vibes carried over to the 25th annual Holy Cross Classic Cruisers show at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Warren, which drew car fans and church members who volunteered to help with the show. Co-Presidents Ron Ratzow and Fred Birchard welcomed the crowd. Birchard owns three classic cars: a 1948 Ford Deluxe Coupe street rod, a 1957 Ford Thunderbird and a 1966 Ford Mustang. “We love trying to bring people together that enjoy cars,” Birchard said. “We’re like golfers. Golfers do anything to play golf. We do anything to play with a car, old cars particularly. We have cars from 1929 in the club, a ’32 Ford, a dozen or more prewar cars.” “We have about 15 to 20 members of our car club. Half of them are members of the church,” Ratzow said. “Our whole purpose of the club is to let people have the opportunity to know Jesus.” Ratzow, of Harrison Township, loves to bring his two-door 1935 Ford Sedan street rod to shows as well as his 1983 Chevrolet Malibu station wagon, which he modified so it resembled a Chevrolet El Camino. One of his favorite cars was his 1956 two-door Lincoln Premiere hardtop. “I wish I wouldn’t have gotten rid of it,” he said. Randy Stier, who owns a 1966 Ford Mustang fastback, also made it out to the Holy Cross Classic Cruisers show. “I’m 78 and I’ve been doing this since I was 16,” the Warren resident said. “Car shows every weekend. I run into people I haven’t seen in a while. Car guys are good guys. Someone will show up with jumper cables or whatever you need.” Madison Heights resident Paul Christlieb — who owns a 2007 Ford F-150 Harley Davidson Edition — attended the Holy Cross Classic Cruisers show for the first time this year. “It’s awesome. The camaraderie is great,” he said. “You can walk out here and talk to anybody. If you have a problem, they come and help.” Pretty soon the car shows will end until 2026. “That is the time to work on them,” Christlieb said. “The cars get done in the fall and winter for next year.” The Holy Cross Classic Cruisers has two shows every year: a blessing of the rides in the spring and a car show every fall.

“That was a whole fight with the hospital, and they got CPS involved, and it was terrible,” she said. Doctors found a genetic mutation that caused the cancer in her left kidney. It has started attacking Emma’s right kidney, and currently, she’s in kidney failure and in need of a transplant. But despite the potential for it to be a lifelong battle, Slanec said her daughter has been strong. “She has been an absolute warrior through the whole process, much stronger than I have been,” Slanec said. “I have cried a lot this year.” As soon as she was diagnosed, Slanec, a St. Clair Shores resident, dropped out of nursing school. Her mother, who lives in Ann Arbor, flew in to take care of her three other kids. To help with the expenses, Comedy 4 Cancer — a nonprofit organized by Warren resident JD Marshal, aimed at helping families who have kids that have been diagnosed with cancer — has organized a benefit show.

Emma

“It’s just a tough, tough time for her and her mom,” said comedian Bob Phillips, who is headlining the show. Phillips said he has done hundreds of benefit shows, a number of which have been for Marshall’s nonprofit. He’s always happy to donate his time to help, he said. “My business, my career is making people laugh. That’s what I do,” Phillips said. “And in these kinds of situations, people need to laugh more than ever, or at least take a little respite from the tough times they’re going through … That makes me feel very good about my profession.” Slanec said the support has been overwhelming. “All of my family lives in Arizona, and so I have oftentimes felt very alone, and I don’t feel alone,” she said. “I don’t know much more to say. It’s very overwhelming.” The “All 4 Emma” show will be held Oct. 18 at the Bishop Murphy Knights of Columbus, 22040 Ryan Road, in Warren.

Do you have an irregular heartbeat? It could be atrial fibrillation. Dr. Waddah Maskoun, Electrophysiologist at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital

If you have a racing or irregular heartbeat, also known as an arrhythmia, one likely suspect is atrial fibrillation (AFib), the most common type. In AFib, the upper chambers of the heart beat chaotically and often too fast. In some cases, this can continue indefinitely (or until it’s treated). But in many people, episodes of AFib come and go, which can make it harder to diagnose.

Atrial fibrillation risk AFib can develop in anyone, at any time, but it’s much more likely to become a problem as you get older. Other factors besides age that can increase anyone’s chance of developing AFib include high blood pressure, obesity, heart problems (such as heart failure or heart valve disease), thyroid disorders, heavy alcohol use, smoking, diabetes, kidney disease and sleep apnea. In younger adults, conditions such as thyroid disease or sleep apnea can increase the risk. In women, high blood pressure and heart valve disease are more likely to lead to AFib. While in men, coronary artery disease and previous heart attack are more common risk factors.

Diagnosing atrial fibrillation … with your smart watch? If you notice possible AFib symptoms, take note so you can discuss them with your doctor. During a check-up, your doctor should be able to pick up on an irregular heartbeat—if you’re experiencing an AFib episode. For the other times, a smart watch or wearable fitness tracker may help. Many of the newest devices use a technology called photoplethysmography, or PPG. This feature uses pulses of light against the skin to measure blood flow through the wrist to track the rhythm of your heartbeat. This can be helpful for spotting heart rhythm disorders such as AFib. If you suspect you’re having periodic AFib episodes, your doctor also might send you home with a heart monitor to help figure out what’s happening with your heart rhythm. AFib can be serious, but we can treat heart arrhythmias with medications and procedures. So don’t ignore that fluttering heartbeat. If you think you have a possible heart rhythm problem, it’s best to talk to your doctor.

Spotting AFib symptoms AFib symptoms may vary, and some people don’t experience them. When symptoms are present, for both sexes these can include racing heart rate, heart palpitations (flutters or a pounding heart), shortness of breath, chest pain and fatigue. •

Atypical symptoms: Women are more likely than men to experience symptoms such as fatigue and weakness.

•

Frequency and duration of episodes: Women tend to have more frequent and longer-lasting AFib episodes than men.

•

Stroke risk and severity: Women with AFib may be at higher stroke risk than men. And when women have a stroke, it tends to be more severe.

To request a consultation with one of our local experts, call 313.513.9716. To learn more about atrial fibrillation and our advanced treatment options, visit henryford.com/AFib 0258-2538

Bearded dragon theft backfires

GROSSE POINTE WOODS — A 19-year-old woman and a 29-year-old woman, both from Detroit, are facing larceny charges after they allegedly stole a bearded dragon from Lou’s Pet Shop at around 4:40 p.m. Sept. 16. Police said surveillance footage from the store shows the two women inside the business, where the younger suspect is seen removing the dragon from its enclosure. The women are said to have purchased supplies for a turtle tank and left. Police said a day earlier, one of the women had bought a turtle from the store, filling out paperwork with her name and contact information, which made it easy for police to track them down. Detectives recovered the dragon, valued at $199.

Social media poster sought for indecent exposure

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — An unknown male suspect is being sought by police after he is said to have posted five videos to TikTok that show what appears to be a man urinating at various sites in the Grosse Pointes. The videos — which were posted around mid-September — look to have been filmed at night and don’t show nudity, but do show the unknown person urinating at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club, at an unknown public restroom, at Grosse Pointe Woods’ Lake Front Park, at Pier Park in Grosse Pointe Farms and at University Liggett School in Grosse Pointe Woods. The suspect could be facing indecent exposure charges.

Larceny suspects sought

GROSSE POINTE PARK — Police are looking for two unknown suspects who are said to have stolen several tool bags and four chain saws — worth a total of about $4,000 — from a vehicle while it was parked in the 900 block of Beaconsfield Avenue at 11:45 a.m. Sept. 15. The victim told police that a male suspect wearing a ski mask entered the victim’s vehicle and removed the items before fleeing the scene in a Nissan Altima. The victim told police a woman was in the Nissan as well.

Cigarette theft under investigation

GROSSE POINTE CITY — A 40-year-old Detroit man was suspected of having stolen a carton of Newport cigarettes from a gas station in the 17000 block of Mack Avenue at around 3:30 p.m. Sept. 16. A police report states that when the cashier got the carton for the suspect, he grabbed it and fled the scene in a black Nissan occupied by a 47-year-old Detroit woman. Police said they had identified the suspects but the investigation was ongoing.

Boat explosion

HARRISON TOWNSHIP — On Sept. 14, at around

3:45 p.m., Macomb County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to Belvedere Bay in Harrison Township for a boat explosion. The owner of the boat, along with one adult and two juvenile passengers, were anchored in the bay. When they attempted to leave, the engine compartment caught on fire and eventually exploded. The four individuals were ejected from the boat. A good Samaritan vessel helped the ejected occupants from the water and transported them to shore. The Harrison Township Fire Department provided medical treatment. Three of the four occupants sustained injuries and were transported for further medical treatment. As of Sept. 15, all four occupants were in stable condition. The Sheriff’s Office Marine Division extinguished the fire and towed the boat. A fire inspector from the Sheriff’s Office inspected the vessel and determined there was nothing suspicious and did not suspect foul play.

Burgled car

HARRISON TOWNSHIP — On Sept. 8 at around 1:20 p.m., Macomb County Sheriff’s Office deputies spoke with a 36-year-old Harrison Township woman about items stolen from her car. The woman said she left her car “unsecured” in her driveway in the 34000 block of Genereaux Street over the night of Sept. 7. On the morning of Sept. 8, she noticed debit and credit cards that she normally kept in her car were missing. One of the cards was reported for fraudulent use at a CVS in Detroit. The woman wished to press changes.

The Silverado driver, identified as a 55-year-old Detroit man, left after waiting for over an hour for police to arrive. The man did not provide the woman with accident information. Deputies ran a database query on the Detroit man and attempted to reach him by phone but were unsuccessful.

Scam intervention

MOUNT CLEMENS — On Sept. 5 at around 2:30 p.m., Macomb County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to the Sunoco gas station at 1160 Southbound Gratiot for a Bitcoin scam. Deputies were called after another customer of the gas station’s Bitcoin machine noticed an 86-yearold Mount Clemens man was depositing $5,900 in the machine, stopping him on the suspicion he was being scammed. Bitcoin customer service was able to freeze the transaction. The man told deputies he received a pop-up on his computer claiming there was malware and urged him to call a phone number for a remote “fix.” The remote “repair worker” showed he had a $10,000 charge on a child pornography website and instructed the man to pay him $10,000 in Bitcoin. Deputies followed the man to his home and disconnected his computer from the internet.

Retail fraud reported

MOUNT CLEMENS — On Sept. 6 at around 9:15 p.m., Macomb County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to the Family Dollar at 254 S. Gratiot for a fraud report. Deputies spoke with store staff, who said three men walked in asking to have money loaded to a Cash App account. The cashier left to get help, and one of the men turned the register monitor around and loaded $370 of the store’s money onto his account. The men then left in a Chrysler 300. An assistant manager said she would like to press charges on the store’s behalf.

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 6:43 p.m. on Sept. 22, a case of retail fraud was reported in the 22000 block of Harper Avenue. Officers received a call from a store manager about a woman who is known to steal alcohol and drink it in the store. The woman, 61, arrived in a white vehicle. Upon arrival, one of the officers located the white vehicle with a man in the driver seat. The suspect walked out and sat in the passenger seat and a manager confirmed it was her. An officer asked the suspect to exit for questioning and she admitted to the crime after the officer explained why they were there. The woman apologized and said she’d pay for the items, stating she’s never done this before. She told police that an upcoming surgery made her nervous, making her want to drink. The manager said it was an ongoing problem.

Hit, wait and run

Woman reports indecent exposure

Warren Kiwanis Club gives RARE’s Indoor Park a boost ROSEVILLE/EASTPOINTE — On Sept. 23, members of the Warren Kiwanis Club presented a $1,500 donation to the Recreation Authority of Roseville and Eastpointe for its Indoor Park program.

Pictured, from left, are Paul Skomial, Kiwanis; Linda-Ann Heldt, Kiwanis; RARE Deputy Director Sara Frederick; Amy Laskowski, Indoor Park supervisor; and Wally Beiber, Kiwanis. According to Lipinski, the Indoor Park program began about 20 years ago with a donation from the Roseville Kiwanis Club to help purchase toys.

The Indoor Park program is for children ages 10 months to 5 years. It’s offered from 10 a.m. to noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays from Sept. 16 through Dec. 18.
