New Memorial Day event planned for Madison Heights in 2026
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
MADISON HEIGHTS — The Madison Heights Memorial Day Committee is charting a new course for the holiday in 2026, and volunteers are needed to help.
The plan is for a concert and tribute service to replace the parade. It’s currently expected to be held
from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, May 21.
The event will likely be held at the bandshell at Civic Center Park, 360 W. 13 Mile Road, located between Civic Center Plaza and Lamphere High School.
Traditionally, Memorial Day has been celebrated in Madison Heights with a parade early in the morning — usually the weekend before the holiday, to

Harvest Festival to offer hayrides, cider and more at Rosie’s Park
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
MADISON HEIGHTS — Autumn is here, and to celebrate the season, Madison Heights is bringing back the Harvest Festival.
The event will take place from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11 at Rosie’s Park, 1111 E. Farnum Ave. in Madison Heights. Admission is free.
The festival is the spiritual successor to the Nature Center Open House that used to be held at Suarez Friendship Woods — later rebranded the Hometown Harvest, in partnership with Oakland Coun-
ty. That event has been on hiatus since the COVID-19 pandemic. Madison Heights Department of Public Services Director Sean Ballantine and Recreation Supervisor Brendan Shiemke described the plans in a series of emails.
“We have freshened up an old event in a new location and are so pleased to be bringing this back for our residents,” Ballantine said.
There will be two hayrides running during the festival. Ballantine said one hayride will be a trailer drawn by a 1969 Ford tractor, while the other will be a smaller trailer pulled by one of the city’s utility vehicles. Both trailers will be stuffed with hay and lined with hay

Dead dog found in dumpster at Madison Heights restaurant
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
MADISON HEIGHTS — Authorities are investigating how a dog wound up dead in a dumpster used for discarding grease behind a Madison Heights restaurant.
The grisly discovery was made early in the morning on Friday, Sept. 19 by the owner of the business in the 29000 block of John R Road. Authorities shared no further specifics on the location of the incident.
The business owner allegedly came across the dead dog while discarding grease in a dumpster located behind the restaurant. Upon discovering the remains, the owner first called Madison Heights Animal Control. The case was then referred to Oakland County Animal Control.
“It’s impossible to determine a breed without a DNA test, but the dog looked as if it could be a pit bull,” said Bob Gatt, manager at Oakland County Animal Control, in a text message.
The carcass had been swaddled in a blanket before being submerged in the grease.
“There is no indication of animal abuse or neglect. There were no obvious wounds on the dog when we looked at it,” Gatt observed. “The dog could have been in the grease pit for up to two weeks, which would have made a necropsy impossible. The dog had no microchip, nor did it have a license. There were no security cameras in the area of the grease pit; thus, (it is) impossible to determine who put the dog there. It was wrapped in a

Program collects info to help firefighters, paramedics save lives
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
MADISON HEIGHTS — Every second counts when a home is on fire or a loved one is having a medical crisis. That’s why the Madison Heights Fire Department is promoting a new program called Community Connect, where residents and businesses can share information ahead of time that can help during an emergency.
To use the program, visit the city’s official website, madison-heights.org, and then click on the tab for the Fire Department. Community Connect is the first item selectable there.
Billed as a “secure, user-friendly platform,” Community Connect allows residents and business owners alike to voluntarily submit any information they feel may help firefighters and paramedics during a rescue. For example, maybe there is a person at the address who has limited mobility or dementia, which could complicate extricating them from the home.
Telling the Fire Department where the kids sleep in the house or whether there are pets kept in crates in a specific room can also aid in their rescue during a fire or other emergency. Community Connect even accepts photos of pets to help first responders quickly identify them.

ON LEARNING
Responsible beEkeEping begins with learning
BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — Despite how it may look in videos and pictures, beekeeping is no simple task.
What appears at first to be pulling racks out of boxes while wearing bulky clothes belies a complex field of animal husbandry where climates are watched, pesticides are precautioned and the wrong move may see a whole hive die off.
“There’s a fad that’s been going on (called) ‘garden hives,’” said Randy List, an instructor of classes with the Southeastern Michigan Beekeepers Association. “They put the box with hive stands in their garden and put some bees in there, and they do nothing to them and bees die and next year they put more in there. That’s not what proper beekeeping is. (Beekeeping is)
husbandry; you have to monitor what’s going on and deal with what’s going on. The weather and climate is a big deal … so you have to be aware of what to expect, understand what you’re seeing and deal with it.”
For those who find themselves interested in beekeeping and want to learn how to get into it, List recommends first reaching out to local beekeeping clubs and speaking with active keepers. If what they have to say sounds good, interested parties are encouraged to take a course like SEMBA’s basic beekeeping classes. Running from February to October with monthly classes at Michigan State University’s Tollgate Farm and Education Center in Novi and the Bowers School Farm in Bloomfield

Beekeeping
Hills, the SEMBA basic beekeeping course teaches students how to get into responsible beekeeping.
“It starts out as bookwork and classroom work … and then the students get bees,” List said. “The students all have bees and they learn from each other’s bees, because they’ll have a hive right next to each other and they’ll be doing something totally different. The whole point of that is I look at your hive, you look at my hive and everybody else’s hive as a group and we learn what’s going on. (Around fall) they take the hives back to wherever they’re going to take care of them and then (October) is a wrapup meeting.”
Students work with beekeeper instructors, like List or fellow instructor Luke Altomore, to learn information important for the first year of maintaining a honeybee hive. Subjects taught include the biology of the honeybee, how bees operate alongside other pollinators, how to maintain hives, how to maintain the health of honeybees, learning about different types of pests, mites
and other threats, the tools of beekeeping and more.
It costs around $500 to take the class, including the textbook and a box hive. Taking the SEMBA course gives students a preliminary set of information to begin beekeeping while also building relationships with emerging and experienced beekeepers in the area.
“My team’s support to the students doesn’t end in October,” List said. “They’ve got our numbers and our emails and that continues on. In fact, I still get calls from people from several years back. We also have a Facebook page for alumni, and some people participate in it and others don’t, just asking questions and what’s what. When it comes to extracting the honey, that’s another expense so a lot of people will get together and chip in instead of paying $300 for just (their own) equipment and sharing it. You’re gaining friends and you’re gaining contacts.”
On top of the $500 class and possibly some share of the burden for extraction equipment, beekeeping is a fairly significant investment up front. Altomore says the cost can be $1,000 or more when including protective equipment, hives and honeybees, but there’s also plenty of money to be made once
the hives start producing honey.
“The interesting thing I found out was, after a couple years of beekeeping, I was making enough money selling my honey to pay for all of my equipment — and had some left over, too,” Altomore said. “There’s that to keep in mind, that if you do keep up with the hobby, you’ll have enough honey sales to pay for everything that you need to start with.”
Altomore says honey runs for about $15 per pound and $1 per ounce with bottling and labels being a minimal monetary expense.
Along with the honey and whatever joys and profits come from that, beekeeping is more than just the practice of raising bees and managing their hives. Both List and Altomore waxed poetic about the scent of a hive, as well as the relaxing feeling of simply being with and watching the bees.
“When you find apiaries, which is a bee yard, you will usually find a folding chair or a stool or a bench for people to go out and sit,” List said. “We work with the city of Livonia parks and rec; we have an apiary there and whenever we’re there, there’s always somebody walking by and waiting to come in and sit and watch and listen.
“When we have lectures and observation hives, with the bees behind glass, it’s fun watching the kids but it’s also fun watching the adults watching the bees, getting mesmerized just by looking at it. It is mesmerizing if you let it happen to you,” List added.
While some may try to get into beekeeping as a way of “saving the bees,” SEMBA’s website discourages this and recommend those interested in that to “plant and encourage pollinator friendly farms and gardens, to join the movement to eradicate lethal pesticides, or to participate in citizen science projects that support endangered pollinators.” But for those with a passion and drive for the work, science and art of bee husbandry, Altomore has a dire warning for anyone following the road to beekeeping.
“Beekeeping is addictive,” Altomore said. “You think you’re going to have one or two hives, and before you know it your bees are multiplying, you’re splitting your hives, and very quickly you can have up to 10 or 12 hives.”

The department would also like to know whether the property has sprinklers and whether the family has designated meeting places, as well as the contact information for other family and friends who can be reached during an emergency.
In addition, any hazardous materials onsite — such as potential combustibles — can also be documented, helping first responders safely work around them.
The information shared at the website is kept strictly confidential, secured with password-protected logins using bank-level encryption.
“As soon as the run is created by our dispatch center, the information comes up on our computers on every response vehicle, which includes the information in Community Connect,” Madison Heights Fire Chief Gregoy Lelito said.

bales for seating.
“The old tractor is always a popular feature that just screams ‘hayride,’” Ballantine said.
The larger trailer seats up to 15 people while the smaller one seats up to 10. They will depart near the park building and take the north loop of the trail, touring the hardball field and passing through the oak stand at the north end of the park.
Cider and doughnuts will be available free of charge, provided by the Madison Heights Department of Public Services. There will also be food and drink sold by Hughes Hot Dogs and The Cracked Egg on Wheels.
A trick-or-treat trail with tables set up by different community groups and sponsors will offer candy and other goodies for the young ones. There will also be live music, a petting zoo, photo opportunities, and pumpkin decorating courtesy of the Madison Heights Arts Board.
“This event also incorporates our popular ‘Truck or Treat’ event,” said Ballantine. “We will have several DPS vehicles staged in the Farnum parking lot (for guests) to enjoy.”
The Harvest Festival is funded through program activity funds budgeted for the city’s Recreation Department, as well as sponsorships and private donations.
tentional and targeted with our actions when we arrive,” added Nate Figueroa, the city’s fire marshal. “From a medical standpoint, having that extra bit of knowledge can help gear our thought process for what may be going on. Same with a fire — knowing where people sleep (in the home) helps us save time as we’re rolling up.”
Figueroa explained that the program is part of a robust software package that the department recently adopted.
Lelito said he is aware of only one other city currently using Community Connect in the metro Detroit area: Shelby Township.
“But there are more departments talking about it,” Lelito said. “When using it, people can share as much or as little as they want.”
Madison Heights City Councilman Quinn Wright said he encourages residents to take advantage of the program, especially those with special needs and those who have children or elderly residents in the house.
“It could save lives in the long run,” Wright said. “Information is critical in an emergency. Having that information ahead
Ballantine said the event’s revival was borne of a desire by city staff to bring back a fall event for residents. He credits Madison Heights Streets and Facilities Coordinator Justin Kowalski with the original concept.
“The Harvest Festival is guaranteed fall fun, with activities for all ages,” added Shiemke. “Rosie’s Park is the perfect location. (The park) will have stunning fall colors.”
The festival is the latest in a series of events Madison Heights has hosted in recent weeks, such as the outdoor music festival Trail Tunes held Sept. 6 and the car show Revin’ in the Heights held Sept. 13, both at Civic Center Park.
Madison Heights City Councilman Quinn Wright is a representative with the city’s Human Relations & Equity Commission, which organized this year’s Revin’ in the Heights event.
“I think it was an incredible experience on display, and the turnout was simply wonderful,” Wright said. “One of the things we wanted was for families and community members to come out, and they did. The food was excellent. The National Guard was there with two military vehicles — a Hummer and a cargo vehicle — and we even had a Penske (Detroit) Grand Prix car.
“It was a huge success,” Wright said. “We look forward to doing it again next year.”

of time and using this technology to help our residents is a great example of making the most of our resources and putting our taxpayers’ dollars to good use.”
Wright noted that the database could also be useful in situations where a member of the household might have a mental condition that makes them less cooperative, preparing first responders to handle them safely.
“My hat’s off to the men and women who go out on (emergency) runs in the community, because they truly don’t know what they have to face, and the agility they need
is tremendous,” Wright said. “The more we can help them, the better off we will all be.”
Madison Heights Mayor Roslyn Grafstein echoed this sentiment.
“I want to thank our Madison Heights Fire Department for always putting residents first,” Grafstein said via email. “Their new Community Connect program is another example of how they go above and beyond. … I encourage everyone in the community to sign up and take part.”

But officials say that over the years, the event has seen diminishing returns, with fewer volunteers, participants and spectators in attendance.
Long-time committee members decided to try something new for next year, which they hope will be more focused in scope and impactful in effect.
To that end, the committee envisions a concert featuring a brass band playing the U.S. “Armed Forces Medley,” and possibly individual performers as well.
Special guests would include current and former military members, as well as representatives from local and state veterans organizations.
The event may also feature military vehicles on display, and videos sharing the stories of local families who lost veterans.
Other displays include the Wall of Heroes and the Veteran’s Tree, which both feature photos of residents and their family
CRIME WATCH
Identity theft
MADISON HEIGHTS — A 61-yearold Warren man told Madison Heights police that between 7:45 a.m. and noon Sept. 10, an unknown suspect used the victim’s credit information and withdrew money from an ATM in the 26000 block of John R Road.
Package taken
MADISON HEIGHTS — An employee at a business on West 14 Mile Road told police that an unknown suspect stole a package from a company work truck around 9:55 a.m. Sept. 19.
Police pursue stolen vehicle
HAZEL PARK — At around 10:16 p.m. on Sept. 18, Warren police located a silver Ford Taurus traveling northbound on Dequindre Road. The vehicle had been reported stolen out of Westland. Warren police attempted to stop the vehicle while a Hazel Park officer arrived as backup.
The stolen vehicle reportedly failed to stop, leading Warren and Hazel Park police on a pursuit westbound on East George to
members who served.
Projectors could also be used to display images of the war memorials, located at nearby City Hall, making it easier for those in attendance to see.
Laurie Geralds, the co-president of the GFWC Madison Heights Women’s Club, said that the committee has many ideas, but nothing is set in stone.
“Really, we’re just coming up with a framework at this point,” Geralds said. “We are inviting community members to help shape the ideas behind this.”
Residents who volunteer with the committee will help arrange performers for the concert, reach out to local veteran organizations, secure displays of military vehicles, collect photos for the Wall of Heroes and Veteran’s Tree, and research local history for short video tributes.
For more information, contact the Women’s Club at gfwcmhwc@gmail.com by Nov. 11. No prior planning experience is necessary, just a desire to help honor the veterans.

Merrill avenues and then westbound on Eight Mile Road. The stolen vehicle continued to North Chrysler Drive where it struck a curb and crashed into a guardrail. Two passengers were detained while the driver fled on foot.
The driver was allegedly a 17-year-old man wearing a black ski mask, red jacket, black pants and holding a handgun as he ran from officers into backyards on East Muir and East George avenues. The Hazel Park officer located the suspect hiding in a bush. Officers also reportedly recovered a semiautomatic pistol in the suspect’s pocket and another handgun next to the suspect.
The suspect was turned over to Warren police for further investigation.
Medication, holster stolen
MADISON HEIGHTS — A 68-yearold Madison Heights resident told police that an unknown suspect stole medication and a holster from an unlocked vehicle between 5 p.m. Sept. 18 and 8 a.m. Sept. 19.
The theft reportedly occurred while the vehicle was parked in the 1000 block of Hudson Avenue.
If you know more about these crimes or others, call Madison Heights police at (248) 585-2100.

The official coordinator of the event is the women’s club. The group inherited the parade in 2010 when it was cut from the city budget due to the Great Recession.
Now, roughly 15 years later, the parade is being retired.
“Personally, I’d like to see the parade continue,” said Madison Heights City Councilman Sean Fleming, who is a veteran. “We’re trying to honor those who fought for our country and paid a price for our freedoms. We all benefit from their service.”
City Manager Melissa Marsh said the
decision was made after careful consideration.
“We understand that change can be difficult, especially when it involves a longstanding tradition like the parade,” Marsh said in a statement. “But we also believe this is an opportunity to create something deeply meaningful — an event that reflects the solemn purpose of Memorial Day and invites the entire community to pause, remember, and come together.”

Local car show goes to the dogs
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — Warren resident Paul “Pauly G” Gutkowski is not only a bona fide car buff, but he also has a soft spot for animals.
During the classic car cruise season, he organizes the weekly car shows from 5 to 8 p.m. every Wednesday at Sandbaggers Sports Bar and Grill in Center Line. Jerry and Fran Czapski built Sandbaggers, and son Dave Czapski is the current owner. Gutkowski, owner of a 1968 Mercury Cougar, also holds fundraisers at other car shows to raise money for
the I Heart Dogs Rescue & Animal Haven in Warren. Gutkowski is a member of the Burnouts Detroit car group.
The group, along with the Center Line Festival Foundation, held a charity car show during the Center Line Beer Fest at the city’s Memorial Park Sept. 13, which raised $1,832 for the animal shelter. Money was raised through registration fees, charity raffles and 50/50s. At the Sept. 17 Sandbaggers car show, Gutkowski presented a check to Cindy Yankley, events director for the I Heart Dogs Rescue & Animal Haven.
“That can pay a lot of medical bills for our dogs,” Yankley said. “We’re so grateful to Paul because he’s been doing
this event for us at the Center Line car show. He has made a really big difference in the lives of a lot of dogs. We’re so grateful to him and to everyone else.”
In addition to the $1,832, the nonprofit animal shelter had a table at the beer fest car show, which brought in $600 in donations, and one dog was adopted out. I Heart Dogs Rescue & Animal Haven will hold a dog and cat adoption event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 4 at its shelter located at 22415 Groesbeck Highway in Warren. For more information, go to iheartdogs.org or email bark@iheartdogs.org.

and his wife, Michelle Gutkowski, set up a canopy where they sell miniature toy cars and Gutkowski serves as the unofficial disc jockey, playing classic rock music for the crowd.
“I want to thank everyone for coming out again tonight. This lets people know about events in the city,” Gutkowski said. “I grew up with Dave and Sandbaggers.”
Gary White, of Warren, brought his 1958 Chevrolet Impala to the event. White, 73, has owned the white Impala for almost five years. His son knew he wanted an Impala and found one through an online marketplace site.
“I immediately got in touch with the guy. I went the next morning and bought it,” White said. “I drove it home. It was a rough drive home. It needed a lot.”
To give it a smoother ride, White and his son changed the engine, transmission, altered the brakes and more.
“It’s got air conditioning, power steering and power brakes. People see it and think it’s the ‘American Graffiti’ car. I had a blue one when I was about 19. I had it for about two years. All the old cars are fantastic. They’re all fun,” White said. “That’s back when you bought a car for $200. Cars were cheap back then — not anymore.”
Back in the day, White and his buddies cruised Eight Mile Road, stopping at the Big Boy in Hazel Park. Other times they’d hit Woodward Avenue and would meet up at another of their favorite Big Boy restaurants.
“It was fun,” White said. “We were out looking for girls.”

strangers.
“I’ve taken it all over the place. It’s just a good riding truck,” Thompson, 72, said. “It’s just like a big red truck with lots of shiny stuff. I have so much fun with it. People are drawn to it. They ask so many questions.”
Thompson often runs into retired and current firefighters.
“The old firefighters, they look at it and it brings back memories,” he said.
That includes viewing the manual controls once used to fight fires.
“The older firefighters taught me how to use them,” Thompson said. “They give me hints. I learn from their experience.”
Thompson purchased the fire truck from the small town of Sedan, Kansas, which he said is known as “Tornado Alley.” He even hung a sign on the side of the truck that reads “Tornado Alley 1978 Ford F700 Hahn Pumper Sedan, KS.”

Fundraiser planned to support
families of fallen, injured officers
BY BRIAN WELLS bwells@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — What begins with punchlines and laughter will carry a deeper purpose at a comedy show fundraiser aimed at supporting the families of two local police officers.
The fundraiser is being held to support the families of Warren police officer Nick Kott and Madison Heights police officer Kyle Kreger.
Brad Reckling’s Second Annual Comedy for a Cause is scheduled for Oct. 16 at The Roxy of Rochester, 401 Walnut Blvd., in Rochester. Doors open at 7 p.m. with the show beginning at 8 p.m. Tickets are $50 each and can be purchased online at theroxyrochester.com.
According to a press release from the Warren Police Department in November 2024, Kott was hunting with his family when he was critically injured in a fall. He was transported to the hospital in Midland and was airlifted to the University of Michigan’s hospital in Ann Arbor. He was originally listed in critical condition with no feeling from his neck down and was placed on a ventilator.
“It’s always heartening to see our community come together to support law enforcement,” Warren Police Commissioner Eric Hawkins said in a statement. “When it’s one of our own officers like Officer Kott who needs help, it’s especially meaningful.”
A GoFundMe campaign has been started to raise additional funds for Kott’s family. At press time, it had raised $84,459 of its $100,000 goal, though no donations were shown within the last five months. It can be found at gofundme.com/f/help-nick-holli-
