CANNON DELIVERS STATE OF CLINTON TOWNSHIP ADDRESS
Clinton Township address. Put on by the Macomb County Chamber, Cannon’s address focused on the various business and real estate developments that unfolded over a year that saw 177 businesses enter Clinton Township. Cannon structured his address as a tour of the township. Groesbeck was the first corridor to have its devel-
HARRISON TOWNSHIP — The first public hearing for the North Blom Drive and Cloverleaf Street special assessment district was held at the Jan. 22 Harrison Township Board of Trustees meeting. Out of all the affected residents for the road and drainage repair project, more than a dozen attended with most being against the project. Disparities between the two pavement parts of the project were a common complaint among residents. Asphalt sections at the entrance of the SAD will receive new asphalt while concrete sections further inside the subdivision will see a mix of replacement concrete and crack sealing. The 47 affected concrete lots will pay nearly $7,000 over the 10-year life of the assessment while the 23 asphalt lots pay nearly $14,000. “(Asphalt lots are) getting a new road. We’re getting squiggles,” said Susan Watroba, an affected resident. “(It is) $7,000 for black squiggles, which is going to really devalue the sub. It’s going to look hideous. … If you’re going to do it, do the whole road. I’ll pay for concrete.” Several residents questioned why the two pavement types were combined into one project. Harrison Township Supervisor Ken Verkest, who lives on the concrete portion of North Blom, said combining them was an attempt to balance project costs. “I’d rather pay nothing,” Verkest said. “I’d rather see the asphalt done and not pay a dime, but I recognize that the cost is so prohibitive that it will never get done, so we talked to the attorney to see if there’s some creative way (the concrete lots) could participate. … If anybody in our subdivision thinks that the concrete is so bad that it needs to be replaced, that’s silly. But if there’s no benefit to the folks that live in the concrete

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Businesses calling for emergency services in Clinton Township may be in for a shock soon. The Clinton Township Board of Trustees approved a nonemergency lift assistance fee for assisted living, independent living, nursing homes and other facilities at its Jan. 22 meeting. Township ordinance 488 establishes the ability for the township “to assess a service fee for the responses defined herein for non-emergency patient lift assists and providing other non-emergency services for residents at residential living facilities that market themselves as providing, or actually provide, on-site staff and services for their residents.” The fee is currently set at $500 for any lifts deemed nonemergency and is assessed for the sixth and all subsequent nonemergency calls. The ordinance comes in response to several facilities in

the township calling the Fire Department for transportation in cases where an emergency response was not required. While Clinton Township Fire Department Chief Tim Duncan said at a prior meeting the township was able to get facilities to agree to reduce nonemergency calls, not all facilities have complied. “The whole purpose of the ordinance is not to be looked at as a revenue source; it’s for compliance with doing the right thing for their residents,” Duncan said. Ordinance 488 only targets the facilities. Township residents will not be assessed a fee for using emergency services, and the fees will be assessed against infringing facilities and not its residents.
Water and sewer bill
Trustees increased overall water and sewer rates by 2.7% from $10.63 per 748 gallons to $10.92. The water usage charge went up 2.5% from $3.49 to $3.58 and the sewer See ORDINANCE on page 13A

Playing double bass is up this cat’s alley LEE ROCKER PERFORMS FEB. 9 AT THE MACOMB CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Lee Rocker, of Stray Cats, is always ready to put on a show for his fans. “I’m thankful people have followed me and my music and what I do,” Rocker said. The upright bass player will “Rock This Town” when he performs a solo concert Feb. 9 at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts, located at 44575 Garfield Road on the Macomb Community College Center Campus. Show time is 7:30 p.m. Pompadours and leopard print lapels are optional. “People should come down,” Rocker said. “It’s a blast. It’s a fun show.” The rockabilly cat will slap his bass alongside bandmates Buzz Campbell on electric guitar, drummer Larry Mitchell and Phil Parlapiano on keyboards. “It’s an amazing four-piece band,” Rocker said, adding “it’s been a very long time” since he has been in metro Detroit.
The idea to spotlight Rocker at the Macomb Center came from William Wood, director of Macomb’s Cultural Affairs and Community Engagement. “As a founding member of the Stray Cats I was interested in bringing him to Macomb. I remembered how awesome that group was and when I heard him play in NYC last year, it sealed the deal for me,” Wood said via email. “The musicianship was impeccable, and the energy of the performance was off the charts. That is when I knew for certain we needed that quality of a performance for our Macomb audience.” As a solo act, the rock ‘n’ roller performs about 50 dates per year. He’s currently doing shows at performing arts centers across the country, playing his own songs plus hits from Stray Cats. Along with the music, the evening includes footage and photos that highlight Rocker’s established career. “I’ll do some storytelling and talk about the songs and life on the road for 45 years,” the musician said. “A performing arts center is the best place for it.

Harrison Township restaurant a ‘total loss’ from fire BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com
HARRISON TOWNSHIP — Benvenuto Family Restaurant on Jefferson Avenue will be closed indefinitely after an early morning fire on Jan. 18. “At about 1:10 (a.m.) this morning, we received a call for a commercial fire,” Harrison Township Fire Marshal Lawrence Shackett said. “Upon arrival, we had heavy smoke showing, heavy flames showing.”
The restaurant is a “total loss,” according to Shackett, who is currently investigating the cause of the fire. Shackett expects his report on the fire will be ready in several weeks. There were no injuries. Shackett says the fire was a “first-alarm fire,” triggering a mutual aid response from the Mount Clemens, Clinton Township and Selfridge Air National Guard fire departments to assist Harrison Township firefighters.

MACOMB COUNTY — Dr. Mary E. Pietrangelo is the new chief medical examiner for Macomb County. Pietrangelo takes over the role after Dr. Daniel Spitz ended his pathology contract with the county in October 2023. “We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Mary E.

Pietrangelo has served as a deputy medical examiner in Macomb and St. Clair Counties since 2012. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to practice forensic pathology at the Macomb County Medical Examiner’s Office,” Pietrangelo said in a press release. “I’ve learned much over the past years as a deputy medical examiner and I’m excited to be involved with the future of the office.”

comb County high school juniors and seniors. Esports, short for electronic sports, is a form of competition using video games. Students will represent their schools competing either solo on Super Smash Bros. or as a team of three on Rocket League. The tournament will start at 6 p.m. and will be held at the Lorenzo Cultural Center on Macomb’s Center Campus, 44575 Garfield Road. Check-in starts at 5 p.m. Players must complete check-in before the tournament start time to compete. Light refreshments will be served during the tournament. Registration is required at http://link.macomb.edu/SrxY for all participants in the high school esports competition, whether a spectator, solo player or team. Players younger than 18 years old must be accompanied by a guardian (parent, teacher or coach) during the tournament.

MACOMB COUNTY — The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office Hate Crimes Unit is getting a funding boost as it was awarded a Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Program grant from the Department of Justice. The grant will be used over the next four years to fund a principal trial attorney for the Hate Crimes Unit. Hate crimes, such as ethnic intimidation, are an additional charge placed on top of assault and property damage charges. Ethnic intimidation is charged if there is reason to believe an act of personal or property violence was carried out due to a person’s race, color, gender, religion or national origin. “I appointed Assistant Prosecutor Patrick Colletta to head our Hate Crimes Unit to affirm my commitment to confronting intolerance and bigotry,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido in a press release. “Hate crimes undermine the foundation of our society, and my office is dedicated to fostering a community where every resident can live without fear and discrimination. Martin Luther King, Jr. once stated that the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice. Our Hate Crimes Unit represents our joint endeavor to hasten that bend, ensuring equality, dignity, and compassion for all.”

Senior citizens can find long lost yearbooks online BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com
BIRMINGHAM — Cherished memories come from receiving a yearbook on the last day of school and having friends and teachers sign it with personalized messages. Not only are they personal keepsakes of time spent in school, but they can also act as historical records for decades to come. Many local libraries and museums have taken the initiative to create online databases of their communities’ digital yearbooks.
Birmingham
Birmingham’s historical yearbook collection is now available online through the Birmingham Museum. Birmingham residents and history buffs can access the 19191929 issues for free. “People have been waiting to get a peek at our oldest yearbooks. They shed a light on what it was like to live in Birmingham in the early 20th century, and the world of teenagers back then,” Birmingham Museum Director Leslie Pielack said in an email. “Flipping through our historic yearbook col-
lection is a delightful glimpse of the young people, their educators, and their hopes and dreams. Especially at this time of year, many of us are reminded of the importance of family and our personal roots.” The museum’s school yearbook collection has been acquired over the last 50 years, including the first yearbook printed by Birmingham High School, in 1919. Through yearbooks, valuable information can be gathered by experts, including genealogists and local historians, as well as families conducting research of their own. “It gives a really good window into how life was back then,” Museum Assistant Justin Koch said. “One thing that I really find fascinating when I was flipping through these was 100 years ago, society was very different than it is today, but at the end of the day, teenagers are kind of the same as they were back then.” To make it easier on people looking for specific family members, the yearbook collection is searchable. Someone could type in their families name and be brought to the page where that name is listed. The museum’s collection is only miss-

Rochester Hills
The Rochester Hills Public Library has a digital collection of resources for the community to browse through. “It gives us a snapshot of the history of our community,” said Hilary Maurin, the adult services librarian at Rochester Hills Public Library. “Our community, specifically, has always been very focused on education. So, especially those older yearbooks going back to the 1920s, it is so great to see the legacy of 100 years now that’s been going on with Rochester High School.” Maurin added that the digital versions make it easier to keep copies safe. They have had some celebrities come through the school system, so digital copies keep these photos preserved. For example, Madonna is featured in one of the yearbooks from her time in Rochester Hills, but it is no longer available because someone cut her photo out of the physical edition. The Royal Oak Public Library has a digital library of historical Kimball High School Lancer yearbooks from 1958-2006. With each vibrant cover on display, the books are easy to navigate and are full-text searchable. Yearbooks can also be downloaded for offline access. Susan Sheiner, the adult services librarian at the Royal Oak Public Library, said she has often found people looking for old classmates in these yearbooks, as well as relatives, to see what life was like when they graduated from high school. “I think it’s a way for people to con-

It’s a historic town, and people are very proud of their history and very interested in it.

UPGRADE YOUR HOME OFFICE TO MAKE WORKING EASIER BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — While many of the measures taken during the peak years of COVID-19 have been rolled back, remote working has stuck around. It may not be for every job and it may be only as much as a day a week, but the staying power of remote working places a new emphasis on the role of the home office. At one point, a laptop and a coffee table was enough for the rare day working from home. Now workers are expected to carry whole meetings over video calls and other such tasks, placing heavy loads on internet usage and requiring a rethinking of interior design. With video calls being a key part of the work from home package, Corie Conroy, owner of Bloomfield Hills-based First Impression Interior Design, said at-home workers should prioritize their backgrounds. “You want to make sure your accessories are not personalized, that they’re something that is decorative,” Conroy said. “If you have shelving
that calls for accessories, I always say the rule of thumb is you should have something that is large enough to notice on a camera, whether you are taking a photo of a room or you’re on a Zoom meeting, something that is bright enough that it stands out from your shelving, that takes up more of an impact and makes your shelves look fuller, but not too personalized.” Conroy believes the best place for a home office is along the outer walls of a home or apartment. A window can help with bringing in natural light, while the exterior placement helps separate the office from the home. “If you have a family and you’re still working when they come home from school or if you have to work on the weekends, something in an outer area of your home is ideal,” Conroy said. “You can close the doors and allow for some quiet space.” Plants, artwork and other bits of furniture go a long way in making a home office comfortable to work in, but Conroy said the biggest furniture investment at-home workers should make is a comfortable and supportive chair. See OFFICE on page 11A
It may not seem like a big deal at first, but reexamining interior design and internet performance can take working at home to the next level.

“When I shop with clients for chairs for their office, I take them to a few different places to have them sit in it, and I guarantee that the chair that I recommend for them, they will have for a long time,” Conroy said. “It’s not something they’re going to rebuy in the next five years. They’re going to enjoy it and be thankful that they feel OK at the end of the day and that they’re not having back and neck issues because they’re sitting in an uncomfortable spot for eight to 10 hours a day.” A comfortable chair will help make the home office a space to live in, but letting papers and notes build up on desks and tables will only make the day more stressful. To alleviate stress, Conroy said to pick up a document scanner and begin using digital storage, as well as getting a shredder to dispose of any sensitive documents. Making a home office look and feel nice is one thing, but a manicured background means nothing if it is a clump of pixels in the background. Making sure a home office
has a solid internet connection is critical to video calls and other data-heavy tasks when at home. “I really encourage everyone who wants to start the process of improving their home networks and their use of the internet to start by plugging in directly,” said Jay Mueller, director of technology for Millennium IT in Livonia. “You can buy a USB-ethernet adapter from anywhere for $10-$20. For network cables, you may already have one in your drawer of tech stuff. Plug it directly into that router, go out to a website like fast. com or speedtest.net and start by getting a baseline. Effectively lay out what your wired performance looks like before trying to troubleshoot (wireless connections).” Keeping the router in the office and using a direct ethernet connection is the best way to ensure the highest possible internet performance — Mueller said speeds above 100 megabits per second are good and anything below 10 Mbps should be checked out — but directly connecting might not always be possible. Mueller recommends mesh networking as a way to improve internet performance when a direct connection is unavailable. “The beauty of mesh networking so-
lutions is that you can connect two devices together where it will present the same network, but the different devices will talk one to the other,” Mueller said. “It’s a great way to extend your network without having to do a great deal of trial and error.” Other ways of indirect connection are available. Powerline adapters allow for an ethernet cable-like connection with a signal sent over electrical wires, while Multimedia over Coax Alliance devices make the connection through TV cable wires. These methods can be cheaper than mesh networking, though possibly at the cost of less reliability. Getting residential or even commercialgrade fiber optic service may help, though the use-cases for taking a leap this big are highly dependent on the type of work being done. Fiber’s biggest benefit is having symmetrical upload and download speeds, which helps if work requires uploading large, uncompressed files. Even if a fiber optic connection does not make sense, internet service providers may have plans with stronger service you can receive. Call Staff Writer Dean Vaglia at (586) 498-1043.

Rocker from page 3A
You can put up the video screens in the old theaters. It’s kind of more intimate, which I love.” With albums that include “Atomic Boogie Hour,” “Blue Suede Nights,” “Night Train to Memphis” and “Gather Round,” Rocker doesn’t miss a beat. While playing live, the artist is known to stand on his upright bass and spin it around. Carrying the large instrument everywhere has never been a problem. “It’s not that heavy,” he said. “You’ve got to have balance.” Rocker owns about 15 stand-up basses, but just brings a few with him on tour. “Each one has different characteristics and different tones,” he said. The stage is home “bass” for Rocker, who grew up in a musical family in Long Island, New York. His dad, Stanley Drucker, was a clarinetist in the New York Philharmonic Orchestra for 61 years. His mom, Naomi Drucker, was a music teacher. “That’s what I want to do,” he thought after seeing the Rolling Stones perform on “Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert” as a kid in the 1970s. The teenager eventually hooked

usage charge went up 2.8% from $7.14 to $7.34. Readiness to serve charges increased to $8.09 for water and $6.16 for sewer.
Chipping discontinuation
Trustees voted 4-1 to end the township’s branch chipping program, with Treasurer Paul Gieleghem absent. The service will begin winding down in February with notices posted on the township website and water bills with the last day of curbside chipping for Monday, May 13, and the last day for dropping off branches at the Department of Public Works set for mid-July. “We figure about 20% of Clinton Township uses this service,” said Township Supervisor Robert Cannon. “Some of us have never used it. Others use it a lot. Some people use it 10 or more times a year; what happens then is we get behind. We have a feeling that some people are using their yard to have businesses drop branches off to be chipped.” Cannon estimates that continuing the program as-is would cost the township about $750,000 “over the next couple of
up with neighborhood pals Brian Setzer, on guitar, and drummer Slim Jim Phantom to become Stray Cats in 1979. “We’d rehearse in my parent’s garage and 200 kids would be in the driveway,” the bassist recalled. “We knew we were onto something.” With greased back hair and a retro vibe, Stray Cats were a throwback to the 1950s. In 1980, the trio moved to England and two years later released their first U.S. album, “Built for Speed.” Belting out songs like “Runaway Boys,” “She’s Sexy & 17” and “I Won’t Stand in Your Way,” their rockabilly sound struck a chord with audiences. Videos of the band rotated on MTV, and they ended up selling more than 10 million albums. The trio eventually broke up, and Setzer formed the Brian Setzer Orchestra without Rocker and Phantom. In the mid-1980s, the remaining two members recruited session guitarist Earl Slick to form the group Phantom, Rocker & Slick. When in the recording studio, they got Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards to play guitar on the single “My Mistake,” a moment Rocker will never forget. “Great guy and funny as hell,” he said of Richards. “Great musical instincts. It was awesome.” The band didn’t stay together, but
Rocker continued performing and recording internationally. Because of his talent, he has had the thrill of working with many childhood music icons, including Carl “Blue Suede Shoes” Perkins, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and Eric Clapton. While Rocker cites countless influences that helped shape his musical chops, Willie Dixon left the deepest impact. “He was an incredible blues guy,” Rocker said. “I loved what he did. He’s the biggest influence on my playing.” Stray Cats will “make ‘em scream and shout” again in 2024; the band is planning a summer tour to celebrate its 45 years as a
years” to replace aging equipment and about $250,000 a year on workers for the program. “We can’t afford to do it, and the reality is we have to watch the budget,” Trustee Julie Matuzak said. “We are the only township or city around that does this service. … Is it more inconvenient? Yeah. I lived in Mount Clemens for a long time, and I bundled my twigs and I put them in the brown bags, and I figured out what to do with all this stuff, as do people all around us.” Ending the program is not the end of Clinton Township branch disposal. The township is currently working with GFL Environmental on bins for curbside branch pickup and chipping will still take place after extreme storms. After hearing six residents speak about removal of the service, Trustee Tammy Patton cast the lone vote against ending it. Patton’s concerns for removing the service came down to having difficulty working with GFL’s customer service, her own history with the chipping program and uncertainty over how removing the service will affect residents. Patton recommended surveying residents to assess their level of awareness and interest in the service. Call Staff Writer Dean Vaglia at (586) 498-1043.
Happy’s Pizza Mount Clemens has been a staple in the community for 17 years. Longevity like that is about more than selling pizza. “Serving the community, donating, assisting and helping with various events and fundraisers, we’ve done that all throughout the years,” said franchise owner Anthony Pellerito. While many things have changed since the shop opened in Mount Clemens, the quality and service at Happy’s Pizza have stayed the same. “I’ve had many of the same employees through the years, working to make the food consistent,” Pellerito said. “Everything is fresh. The dough is made daily. We use quality products. We don’t just slap things together. Everything has been done this way for years and has not changed. We’ve kept it the same.”

Pellerito said many customers from the surrounding neighborhood have been coming to Happy’s Pizza for years. “You see people grow up in 17 years. You see a lot of change,” he said. “You see the good in people and you communicate with them and learn about their lives.” With 50-plus items on the menu at Happy’s Pizza, there’s something to please any appetite. “You can call us a one-stop shop,” Pellerito said. “Instead of going to get three different things from three different places, you can get everything from us — pizza, ribs, chicken and seafood. You can feed the whole family with the great pricing we’ve had over the years.” Making the menu at Happy’s is more complicated due to the number of choices, but Pellerito said that’s a good thing. “It’s also more rewarding, because you have more you can offer,” he said. Happy’s Pizza is located at 140 Northbound Gratiot, offering carryout and delivery service. To place an order or for more information, call (586) 465-3333 or go to happyspizza.com. 0328-2406

opment discussed, referring to the road’s prior zoning conditions as a “mess” that was untangled by the township. Cannon’s goal for Groesbeck is to direct long-term developments along it, and no development exemplifies this idea more than the mixed-use East Town Village development at the corner of Groesbeck and Elizabeth Road. “It’s going to have senior housing, single-family housing, apartments and commercial,” Cannon said. “And I understand now someone has purchased or is about to purchase Buck’s Garage and will reconvert that into a nice commercial area also, so we’re really pleased about that. It’s taken a long time because (developers) had a lot to do to get the property aligned for what they wanted to do, for we wanted to do and will support for them to do.” Garfield was Cannon’s next focus. He shined the spotlight on a new commercial complex at the intersection with 19 Mile Road, the Canteen Golf & Billiards golf simulator and entertainment business moving into the strip mall near Canal Road, and a gas station built to keep Kroger in its Canal and 19 Mile location. Cannon said the grocer was threatening to leave if it was not allowed to build the gas station. “Our choice was to move the gas station down a little bit, which we did,” Cannon said. “It looks very nice in there. We really did not need another gas station, but what do we need? We need Kroger, so they are staying and we’re happy about that.” Cannon’s tour of the township then took guests to Hall Road by featuring new tenants at the road’s malls. Partridge Creek picked up five new tenants including a Powerhouse Gym set to open in the old Carson’s space. The gym will be the mall’s new anchor and the largest Powerhouse Gym. Other highlights near Hall Road include the expansion of Henry Ford Macomb Hospital and the news of the Fifth Third Bank building going up for sale. Outside of business interests, Cannon discussed some government tasks like zoning enforcement, road projects and parks. Grants received by the township have allowed the township to build kayaking points along the Clinton River, while a new field for adult special needs baseball is being built at Neil Reid Park. Though Cannon is one of the key personalities on the Clinton Township Board of Trustees, clashes between the board’s personalities is a frequent occurrence. This clash of
NOTICE
personalities and politics played out during the morning of Jan. 26 as Trustee Mike Keys opted to skip the speech for another event at the Clinton-Macomb Public Library’s South Branch, a pancake breakfast and food drive for the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 154. Keys’ counter event was in opposition to what he sees as an unfair level of support for the Macomb County Chamber compared to other nonprofits. “We, as a township, are using taxpayer resources to support a single nonprofit organization,” Keys said. “If these resources were open to any nonprofit that wanted to host a fundraiser every year, I don’t know that I would have the same objections.” One particular implication of the event Keys takes issue with is the use of township funds to buy tickets to the address. “This isn’t just about the township using our cable department, our supervisor’s department and every part of the administration to orchestrate a fundraiser for the chamber, but they’re also funneling taxpayer money directly from department budgets to the chamber,” Keys said. Keys criticized the arrangement as the chamber has a political action committee, calling the arrangement “one step removed” from when former Warren Mayor Jim Fouts used the State of the City address to fundraise for a PAC in 2016. Cannon briefly acknowledged Keys’ event and concerns in his opening remarks. He said the chamber’s “state of ” addresses are the only way for it to make money. “There is no other way for them to receive funds,” Cannon said. “This is their fundraiser. This is not a fundraiser for Clinton Township. This is not a fundraiser for anyone else, the library. It is a fundraiser for people we appreciate very much.” As for Keys’ event, Cannon told the audience he “considers that an insult and I apologize for it.” Keys had not seen the recording of Cannon’s address when contacted, but the trustee’s remarks about the township’s past year were no less positive than the supervisor’s. “I think that (in) the past year we’ve continued to gain momentum in the realm of trying to spread resources throughout our parks and access through our senior center,” Keys said. “On the horizon, I’m hopeful that it will look even better. As soon as we get another trustee elected and we have a full board, I think that is going to allow us to capitalize on a lot of investments that are to come.” Call Staff Writer Dean Vaglia at (586) 498-1043.

portion, it’s difficult to say that there’s going to be an SAD. We’re going to do as much concrete as we can, but the real need is for the asphalt.” While some residents questioned the details of the project, everyone agreed there was a drainage issue with the roads. Verkest told residents the Macomb County Department of Roads will pay for drainage improvements in the asphalt section with a grant. The concrete portion will not have drain improvements. Other complaints from speakers included the projected cost of the work and the state’s requirement of using frontage feet for determining the weight of petition signatures. The project cost is based on historical information and is subject to change once the county surveys the work zone. A 10% or higher increase to the costs after surveying will stop the project. Two residents who signed the petition expressed their desire to remove their signatures, though Verkest said the township has not historically removed “binding signatures.” The next public hearing for the project will take place on Thursday, Feb. 29.
