S
ince they were young, two local collectors have loved the vintage items they find, the history behind them and the community they create. Avid vintage collectors Jessica Krutell and Ashley Hafer, both of St. Clair Shores,
became interested in collecting when they were younger. Krutell said she started collecting when she was a teenager, when she knew she was going to buy a house. “I started collecting dishes early on and Pyrex early on and stocking up with one day that I know I’ll have a house to fill,” Krutell said.

COUNCIL APPROVES PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN BY ALYSSA OCHSS

At their Jan. 22 meeting, the St. Clair Shores City Council approved the 20242028 parks and recreation master plan in a 7-0 vote.
Interim Parks and Recreation Director Rob Spinazzola and City Planner Liz Koto presented the agenda item. Before the discussion and approval, a public hearing was held with no speakers. “The plan must be approved and uploaded to the DNR website by Feb. 1 for us
to formally apply for grants in 2024,” Spinazzola said. “This is the main reason we must put a plan like this together.” Spinazzola also said it helps the city and the department with a roadmap for the future. He later said they started to work on the master plan last April. They had almost
1,000 survey responses, but he said they did not get a lot of people to show up to the inperson meeting in August. “That’s something I think we can improve upon next time we do it, though,” Spinazzola said. See PARKS on page 10A
