MACOMB TOWNSHIP —
All you need is the right moment.
On Sept. 10, the three winners of Macomb Township’s 2025 Summer Photo Contest were announced and recognized at the township Board of Trustees meeting. Albert Krakosky came in third place, Morgan Pankiewicz took second place, and Carol Muklewicz won first place in the contest.
“It was fun to participate in (the contest) and it was really fun to win,” Muklewicz said. “I was surprised to win first place, so we were excited!”
With no photography background and only a Samsung cellphone to work with, Muklewicz
nual $30,000 match for drain maintenance services. The first $10,000 was paid to the county in January. The county maintains drains passing through the township under the terms of the agreement, with work having already been done along the Middle Branch of the Clinton River.
“The work was done on the Middle Branch (of the Clinton River) down by Hall Road where the overpass is,” Township Supervisor Frank Viviano said. “There was a significant amount of debris down there that the drain office cleared out.”

WEEK 6 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL MATCHUPS TO WATCH
BY SCOTT BENTLEY sbentley@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — The high school football season has already passed its halfway point in 2025 and conference games are becoming more and more important every week.
Marquee matchup of the week
Macomb Dakota at Romeo
This weekend, there are a handful of games that will have a huge impact on conference winners, playoff teams and playoff hopefuls.
7 p.m. Oct. 3
This game is as big as it gets in the regular season. At press time, Dakota and Romeo are in first and second place, respectively, in the Macomb Area Conference Red. This game may determine who wears the division crown, even with three games remaining in the season. Dakota is likely to be undefeated heading into the matchup and with a big

Cleary University to add 2 new sports in 2026
BY SCOTT BENTLEY sbentley@candgnews.com
HOWELL — Cleary University is expanding its athletics program to include women’s wrestling and co-ed competitive dance in the 2026-2027 school year, the school announced.
The wrestling team will compete in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference beginning next fall. Women’s wrestling is rapidly growing all over Michigan, and Cleary
said it is excited to join the movement.
“With so much momentum building for women’s wrestling across the country, it made sense for Cleary to add this sport,” Cleary Director of Athletics Max Ballinger said in a press release Aug 18. “The growing excitement and interest in this sport made it a logical decision.”
The university has already hired Beth Strom to be the competitive dance team’s head coach.

season, and this game might even catapult the winner into first place in the division if Seaholm was to lose.
win against Brother Rice under the team’s belt that started off the season.
Games to watch
North Farmington at Birmingham Seaholm
7 p.m. Oct. 3
This matchup may end up being the biggest of the weekend when fans look back on the season. Seaholm and North Farmington are both top teams in the Oakland Activities Association Blue, and it could be the difference between winning the division and losing it. At press time, Seaholm hadn’t lost a game yet during the season.
Troy at Farmington
7 p.m. Oct. 3
Troy and Farmington will go to battle in another top game this week. These are two of the best teams in the OAA Blue this
Hazel Park at Madison Heights Madison 7 p.m. Oct. 3
The MAC-Bronze is a three-horse race between these two teams and Clintondale. This matchup may decide which team will be sitting atop the division at the end of the year, as both teams have done well in conference play up to this point.
Warren Mott at Warren Cousino 7 p.m. Oct. 3
These two teams are in the middle of the pack in the MAC-Blue, and this game could determine which of these teams makes the playoffs. The matchup is also Mott’s homecoming game, so it should be a packed house for one of the bigger games of the season.

DNR proposes expanded hunting, timber projects on Lake Michigan island
LANSING — On Sept. 22, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources announced it is accepting public comments for a proposed expansion of the deer hunting season on Beaver Island, located in northern Lake Michigan.
Deer hunters on Beaver Island would have an additional 20 days of antlerless-only hunting under the proposal, which would create early and late antlerless firearm deer seasons for 2026-2028. Public comment on the proposal can be submitted through Friday, Oct. 31 to DNR wildlife biologist Jeremy Wood at WoodJ26@Michigan.gov. In the email subject line, commenters are asked to indicate “Beaver Island Deer Proposal.” A summary of public input will be provided to the Natural Resources Commission, which has final authority for establishing deer hunting regulations.
Another proposal by the DNR would see multiple timber harvesting projects undertaken within the Beaver Island State Wildlife Research Area, aiming to regenerate deciduous species such as aspen, birch and maple, improving age class diversity of the forest as well as wildlife habitat. The public can comment on the proposal by emailing Wood before Wednesday, Oct. 15 with the subject line “Beaver Island Forest Proposals.”

Fire department personnel
Four full-time firefighters have been hired, three of whom are familiar faces. Derek Gapczynski, Tyler Miller and Joshua Palmer were promoted to full-time after initially being hired as part-time in August. The trio join Steven Klei, who is new to the department.
The firefighters hired on Sept. 24 fill four of the six newly created firefighter positions following calls from department personnel that were amplified in the wake of an Aug. 9 house fire that had a limited personnel response. Two of the responding firefighters left the scene with injuries.
“We will continue to interview for the two additional firefighters,” Macomb Township Human Resources Director Jeff Tabaka said.

Trustees also approved a letter of understanding with the union representing the township’s Fire Department personnel, the Macomb Township Professional Firefighters Local 5023, for incorporating a new training officer position into the collective bargaining agreement. The new position has an annual income over $81,000, the same pay rate as the fire inspector position.
Planning Department fee schedule
Trustees also approved updates to the Planning Department’s services fee schedule.
The new schedule builds upon October 2024 updates by adding fees for solicitor, vendor and fireworks applications after those were brought under the department’s purview at the Aug. 27 meeting. The fees for each are $250, $25 for each additional employee and a $500 cash bond. A zoning verification letter was also added at a cost of $85 per parcel.

A group of Macomb Community College students studying early childhood development are holding a drive to benefit the baby pantry at St. Isidore’s Catholic Church in Macomb Township.
“I was paying attention to her especially when she was in college, but once she got out of college and went to the NWHL. I started reaching out to her even then,” said Scott Boice, who runs the L’Anse Creuse North Athletics Hall of Fame. “Then when it went completely professional and she got drafted by Boston: Alright, we definitely need to do this.”
Despite L’Anse Creuse North not having a school sponsored girls hockey team, the school still found Girard more than deserving of the honor.
“We try to always make sure that if the kid is a student at our school and they excel at something that the MHSAA doesn’t offer, that we still want to honor them,” Boice said. “Even if it’s not with one of our programs, it’s a great honor just to have somebody play at that high of a level.”
Girard gave a speech to students and staff during the event. The school wanted to make sure that Girard had the platform to send a message to the student body that she was once a part of.
“I was real happy with how it went,” Boice said. “I thought her speech was excellent.”
In her speech, Girard talked about all of the trials and tribulations that she has gone through in her athletic career to get to where she is now. She was excited to show kids at her former school that they have a path to be a professional athlete, too.
“It was a really special moment for me where I got to share a piece of my journey,” Girard said. “Showcase can do it, too. Females can be professional athletes. That side of it was really special to me.”
After the assembly ended, several students approached Girard and told her how inspired they were by her message. There are now three jerseys on display in the L’Anse

Creuse North gymnasium, and Girard is the first female of the group.
“Somtimes in high school you don’t always feel like you fit in, or you feel like what you’re doing is silly because no one else around you is doing it,” Girard said. “That’s kind of where I was in high school. No one around me was playing ice hockey. It was a boys sport. So I wanted to get that message across that you can do it, too.”
This story is also one of overcoming uncertainty. It is about an athlete who played a sport that wasn’t sponsored by the MHSAA, didn’t have one official professional league, and has seen a lot of turnover throughout the years. Despite all of that, Girard is now a professional hockey player.
“I wanted the kids in high school to know that even if you don’t have a path that’s built for you, if you just love what you do and put in all of your effort towards it, doors will open for you,” Girard said. “You have to find your ‘why’ and for me my ‘why’ is to inspire the youth to chase their dreams no matter what it is.”
The honor also has deep family ties. Girard is one person in a long list of her family that has attended L’Anse Creuse North over the years and seeing her last name forever displayed in the gym means a lot.
“My mom and dad graduated from LCN, and I’ve had aunts and uncles graduate there, and my brother graduated from there,” Girard said. “And it’s all of their hard work, too. I wouldn’t be where I am without all of their support and everything they’ve done for me throughout my career. It was special for the entire family to see a jersey with our last name go up.”
Girard’s jersey will join current NFL player Tyler Conklin (2013 graduate) and Stanley Cup champion Steve Olesky (2004 graduate) in L’Anse Creuse North’s gymnasium.

Responsible beEkeEping begins with learning
BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com
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

Beekeeping
University’s Tollgate Farm and Education Center in Novi and the Bowers School Farm in Bloomfield 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 pro-
tective 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.”

Baby pantry
from page 10A
The drive, which began Sept. 16 and continues through Oct. 14, will provide baby essentials to families in need. MCC student Shannelle Smolarek, 27, is the organizer of the project.
“I attend St. Isidore’s, and I knew a little bit about the pantry,” said Smolarek, of Armada. “I thought it was a good idea.”
The students have set up a QR code, shown, in which the public can purchase items from amazon.com. Clicking on the QR code takes them right to a list of items that can be purchased, including diapers, diaper rash ointment, potty training underwear and snacks for toddlers. Student Jenna Haney volunteered to have the items sent to her house and to then bring them to the church.
“The pile is growing,” Smolarek said. “We’re getting a lot. I had no idea how many families needed help.”
As part of the process, the students visited the baby pantry in person.
The MCC students have set up a QR code with which the public can purchase items from amazon.com.
“When we toured it, we learned they help 60 families a month,” Smolarek said. “It is making a big impact.”
“I think it was very well-run and very organized,” said MCC student Liana Sherako. “There is a small group of volunteers that put all the boxes together.”
Sherako, 23, of Harrison Township, said when coming up with outreach ideas, the majority of students voted on the baby pantry project.
“Our goal is to help the community as best we can to help the baby pantry provide to families,” she said. “It made me excited to be able to help. We also reached out to others around us who are able to help support this project. It’s really cool to see our classmates pitching in to help out.”
The students set up a social media page, and since many of them work at schools and day care centers, they have set up collection boxes at those sites.
CRIME WATCH
Suspicious sighting
MACOMB TOWNSHIP — On Sept. 12 at around 9 p.m., Macomb County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to the 46000 block of Fairchild Road for a suspicious person report.
Deputies spoke with a 73-year-old Macomb Township woman who said a man was at her front window shining a light inside. She showed deputies a night vision picture from her security camera of a man kneeling and shining a light into her front window.
Deputies were unable to find anyone on the property, but information was added to the board at the substation and dispatch was advised about special attention to be given to the residence.
Alleged indecent exposure
MACOMB TOWNSHIP — On Sept. 1 at around 1 p.m., Macomb County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to Sequoyah Elementary School for alleged indecent exposure.
A school employee told deputies two
men with a crossover were urinating in a bush on school grounds.
One man, a 62-year-old from Muskegon, said he was there to buy the crossover and denied urinating in the bush. Another man with a Twin Lake address also denied urinating in the bush.
The school employee attempted to show deputies where the men allegedly urinated in the bush but was unable to locate it.
The sale of the crossover was completed, the men left and the school employee was given a report number.
Identity theft
MACOMB TOWNSHIP — On Sept. 11 at around 9:20 a.m., Macomb County Sheriff’s Office deputies met with a 69-yearold Macomb Township man at the local substation for an identity theft report.
The man noticed a 200-point drop in his credit score in June, later discovering loans had been taken out in his name from a Tennessee-based lender to pay for classes at a New Orleans community college. A Louisiana address was used to apply for the loans.
The man completed a loan discharge form for the lender for further investigation.
— Dean Vaglia
shot her contest submission after forgetting about the contest until the deadline approached.
“I had that flyer — I don’t know if it came with my taxes or came with my water bill — that said how you can apply for that picture on my desk when I was working,” Muklewicz said. “I never paid attention to it, and then it was the last day and I’m like, ‘I want to submit a picture,’ so it was kind of cool to win.”
A step outside led to a moment of serendipity when Ranger, a 5-year-old black Labrador retriever, curiously sniffed a daisy.
“We adopted Ranger when he was almost 2 from the Leader Dogs,” Muklewicz said. “He was what they call a career change dog, but we call him a dropout. He didn’t make the grade with Leader Dogs for little things. He’s a really good dog — full of energy and doesn’t settle down, but he’s a good dog.”
Muklewicz and Ranger took the top spot against a total of 41 submissions. Township Supervisor Frank Viviano is hoping to get even more community members involved next time around.
“We would love an even bigger turnout,” Viviano said. “It would be great to have hundreds of submissions to choose from.
I think our outreach is consistent with the first two efforts, and we’ll continue to try to do a better job to make it public now that we have a township magazine that we are publishing on a regular basis. That kind of information, we can include and get out into the public.”
Photo contest judging was first handled by members of the Macomb Township Board of Trustees, who made their picks for the top 10 photos of the bunch. Board members then turned the photos over to the community to decide the winners via an online poll.
“From the feedback I get from my fellow board members, we really enjoy seeing little vignettes of the township through our residents’ eyes,” Viviano said. “You look at all these little images, and it takes us out into the community and helps us share what they experience.”
Macomb Township has now hosted three photo contests with plans for a fourth in the works. Viviano says it is expected to be held in January with more information being announced at that time.
For her part, Muklewicz says she’s going to stay out of the next contest to keep the field clear for new winners, at least for the next time around.
“Because of the fact that I’m winning, I don’t want to be a greedy hog person,” Muklewicz said. “I certainly maybe (will participate again) later down the road.”
