Warren Fire Department spends more than $150,000 on stations

BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com

MACOMB COUNTY — Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel remembers, as a child, the friendship his dad William Hackel had with Marvin “Marv” Sauger.

Sauger and the elder Hackel became friends when they both worked for the Macomb County Sheriff ’s Office.

“I knew him back when I was a kid. Marv always wanted people to feel comfortable around him,” Hackel said. “He was a cop’s cop. He was tough enough but compassionate. As rough as he looked, he was always joking around and making people laugh. You were fortunate to get to know a person like him.”

Sauger Hackel is among those mourning the loss of Sauger, who died from illness Jan. 22 at a local hospital, just a few days shy of his 87th birthday.

The Macomb County Board of Commissioners released a statement following his death.

Sauger, of Center Line, was known in the communi-

WARREN — On Jan. 23, the Warren City Council voted unanimously to approve a pair of purchases for the Fire Department.

Council members approved the purchase of a new roof for Station 1 for $85,215 or less, and $69,229.38 in new furniture for all the stations and the fire administration building.

According to Warren Fire Commissioner Wilburt “Skip” McAdams, the roof at Station 1 has been leaking intermittently for two years and needs to be replaced.

“The roof has been patched multiple times. We were trying not to replace that roof and to stretch it (the roof ’s time) until we were able to move to the new station,” said McAdams. “The leaks became more plentiful. Upon this last examination, two roofing companies told us we would be throwing good money after bad, and we would not solve our

sary Gala from the infamous Truman Capote Ball of 1966,” said Diane Young, benefit committee chair, as she explained the black and white theme.

Truman Capote, a 20th-century writer and actor known for his passion for life, reportedly had a Black and White Ball on Nov. 28, 1966. He invited nearly 600 of his “closest friends” that spanned the who’s who of luminaries of that time from the world of publish-

WARREN — On Jan. 30, Democratic Macomb County Commissioner Mai Xiong and Republican Ronald Singer won their respective special primary elections for the District 13 seat in the Michigan House of Representatives left vacant by newly elected Warren Mayor Lori M. Stone.

According to unofficial results with 100% of the precincts reporting, Xiong received 3,933 (78.9%) of the total votes cast in the Democratic primary. LaMar Lemmons came in second with 743 votes (14.9%), followed by Suzanne Ostosh with 307 votes (6.2%).

On the Republican side, Singer led the field of candidates with 1,078 votes (62.9%). Brandon Cumbee came in second with 352 votes (20.5%), followed by Curtiss Ostosh with 283 votes (16.5%).

Xiong and Singer will next be on the ballot on April 16 when voters will be asked to determine who will fill the District 13 seat in the Michigan House of Representatives for a partial term ending Jan. 1, 2025.

District 13 includes parts of both Warren and Detroit. As a result, it is an election under the jurisdiction of Macomb and Wayne Counties. Therefore, votes from each county are counted and combined to determine the winner.

The counties go through a process of verifying and authenticating each vote before the voting results are deemed official.

“I am really grateful to the residents of the 13th House District for overwhelmingly choosing me to be their next state representative,” Xiong said after the primary win.

She will now prepare for the April special election.

“I have to remind voters and supporters that I am running for a partial term. I plan on running again in August and November,” Xiong said. “I look forward to campaigning the rest of the year and listening to voters and residents at the door to better serve.”

Attempts made to contact Singer were unsuccessful.

‘Superior’ drone tech coming to the Warren Fire Department

BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com

WARREN — On Jan. 23, the Warren City Council unanimously approved the Warren Fire Department’s $81,317 purchase of four new drones.

“The new drones will have an even better infrared camera on them to spot heat that can differentiate life in a human body or a deceased body,” said Warren Fire Department Commissioner Wilburt “Skip” McAdams. “The new drones are far, far superior in the infrared spectrum.”

Drones are continually advancing in technology.

“The advancement from the one we purchased approximately three years ago makes our current one look like a toy,” McAdams said. “We are very excited about this leap in technology.”

See DRONE on page 22A

Crime Commission members Angela Middleswart, Sumon Kobir, Kayla Porvaznik, and Najim Ahmed listen as Warren residents express their concerns about public safety at the second stop of Warren Mayor Lori Stone’s “listening tour” at Lincoln High School on Jan. 22.

Citizens address public safety on second ‘listening tour’ stop WARREN — Warren residents expressed their ideas and concerns about public safety at the second stop of the “listening tour” Jan. 22 at the Van Dyke Public Schools Career and Technical Education Center.

The panel of Warren public safety professionals and decision-makers included Mayor Lori Stone, Police Commissioner William Dwyer, Fire Commissioner Wilburt “Skip” McAdams, Police Deputy Commissioner Charles Rushton, City Council President Angela Rogensues and City Councilman Dave Dwyer. Also present on the panel were Crime Commission members Angela Middleswart, Tracy Antrikin, Sumon Kobir, Najim Ahmed, Kayla Porvaznik and Mike Riley. Riley is also a member of Warren’s Community Emergency Response Team.

Among the things residents in attendance were encouraged to share with the panel was what made them feel safe.

Former Warren City Councilman Garry Watts, who served on the council from 2019 to 2023, commended Warren’s fire and police departments for the great job they are doing. He lauded the Warren Fire Department’s new cadet class but raised a concern about the Police Department’s reduction in officers.

“I know the Police Department is down about 18 officers. It is my understanding you are going to hire a few but we don’t have a

new hiring list,” Watts said. “In today’s time, don’t let the ball fall.”

Watts continued.

“Summer is not here yet. It’s true, it’s going to get busy. The cold has been keeping things down. They’re (police and fire) doing a great job,” Watts said. “We need to keep departments staffed and training up.”

Although the expert panel did not answer any questions or address the concerns of residents at the listening tour stop, they listened and took notes.

Commissioner Dwyer later addressed some of the concerns mentioned by residents.

“We are down 18 (officers). I’ll confirm that,” said the commissioner. “We have a list and we’re going to be hiring seven additional officers. And then we’ll also develop a new list, and we’ll fill those vacancies probably around May with the new list.”

The department hired three officers last week and will hire four more Feb. 5, according to the commissioner.

“It’s kind of interesting. We were fully staffed in June of last year. What had happened, we had a tremendous amount of people retire. As a result of the retirements, we had to start a new list and that’s how we got behind,” Dwyer said. “We’re doing fine.

Things are going very well.”

According to Dwyer, it is a big department with approximately 242 sworn officers.

problem. We would just move it to a different location.”

A new facility is under construction for Station 1 and slated to be completed in April 2025. As a result, some council members were initially reluctant to replace the roof.

“I was not happy about this (replacing the roof ), for sure, and thought we shouldn’t be putting a new roof on a station that we’re going to tear down, and thought maybe we could keep patching it,” said Warren City Council Secretary Mindy Moore. “The day I called Station 1, it was leaking. It is more than just putting buckets here and there. It is leaking down through the kitchen cabinets and that has really created a problem.”

Councilman Gary Boike expressed concern with the leaking water causing mold buildup.

According to the commissioner, the Fire Department will test for mold and if it is present, they will address the issue. This is why they are moving forward with a new roof.

“The decision was made for safety’s

sake,” McAdams said. “They (firefighter/ paramedics and emergency medical technicians) live there. They work there. They spend a third of their life there; and therefore, we have to protect our employees.”

In addition, the six fire stations and the fire administration building are anticipating receiving new furniture within the next two months.

Moore toured the fire stations and said, “The furniture was just horrendous.”

Station 5 and Station 1 are building new facilities slated for completion in December 2024 and April 2025, respectively.

“This furniture should not be transferred to the new stations,” Moore said. “The new stations should get new stuff. We will keep the other for backup or replacements.”

The commissioner reiterated this.

“Assuming there are no overruns in the new stations, the plan is that everything that is placed into the new stations will be brandnew, even the trucks, even the apparatus,” McAdams said. “There is a good chance that the timing of the apparatus deliveries will correspond with openings of the new stations.”

ty for having two different roles. In the early 1960s, he began a career in law enforcement when he took a job with the Macomb County Sheriff ’s Office. After 26 years of serving and protecting the public, he retired as a sergeant in 1987.

“He always helped out the new guys,” Hackel said of the novice police officers the department hired.

Sauger then became involved in local government and ran for public office in the 1990s. The Democrat served on the Macomb County Board of Commissioners from 1996 to 2020; his district covered Center Line and a portion of Warren. While on the board, he held the positions of sergeantat-arms and vice-chair of the board. He chaired the Ethics Committee and served as the vice-chair of the Budget, Operational Services, Community Services, Administrative Services, and Courts & Clerk/Register of Deeds committees.

“I am saddened to hear of the passing of my friend and longtime colleague on the Macomb County Board of Commissioners,” Macomb County Board of Commissioners Chair Don Brown said in the statement. “I had just spoken with Marv and he seemed to be on the rebound, joking around. We were planning lunch.”

Brown described Sauger as “a role model” who treated everyone with respect and dignity and was always willing to lend a helping hand.

“Through his long and productive life, Marv helped change the lives of so many for the better through things such as his service in law enforcement and as a County Commissioner representing the neighborhood where I grew up in Warren,” Brown said.

“He was a good man. This world needs more people like Marv Sauger.”

Outside of politics, Brown said Sauger was a talented woodworker.

“He restored my most treasured possession, which had been passed onto me by my great-grandparents from Belgium,” Brown said. “It sits in my kitchen today so all can see it and I often tell others that it was he who restored it for another 100 years.”

Hackel and Sauger often had lunch together, usually in Warren or Mount Clemens. Hackel visited Sauger in the hospital two days before he died. The Macomb County Executive was able to show him photos of the new Macomb County Jail that will be built.

“He got to see the design of the facility,” Hackel said. “That made him smile.”

He said Sauger was quite an athlete who

often participated in softball games with the Sheriff ’s Office.

“He was a beast on the softball field,” Hackel said. “I never saw anyone hit a softball that hard. I think there’s still a (ball) circling the planet.”

Over the years, Sauger also served as chairman of the Center Line Recreation Committee; sponsored Warren and Center Line youth baseball teams; was a lifetime member of the Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge No. 187; was a member of the Knights of Columbus; and was involved in local Red Cross blood drives.

Andrey Duzyj, of Warren, served on the Macomb County Board of Commissioners with Sauger for about 10 years.

“He wasn’t a flashy, showy guy. He didn’t care about accolades or having his name in lights,” Duzyj said. “He was just a plain, regular good guy. A really, really nice fellow. I’m very saddened by all of this, and I’ll miss him.”

According to Duzyj, Sauger was responsible for suggesting the board hold an annual meeting with all Macomb County elected officials from other offices, including those in the Michigan Senate, the state House of Representatives and the U.S. Congress. Duzyj said it gave the county’s elected officials the opportunity to connect. “(They) came from Lansing and Washington,” Duzyj said. “It was good to hear the other side of things and be able to talk about solutions to problems.”

Something Duzyj always appreciated from Sauger was his ability to make sense of things.

“He had a very interesting point of view. I think his years as a sheriff ’s deputy helped him have common sense,” Duzyj said. “He’d hear about a problem, take care of it and move on. I don’t care if you were a Democrat, Republican or independent, he would work for the betterment of Macomb County.”

State Sen. Veronica Klinefelt, D-Eastpointe, who served on Macomb County Board of Commissioners with Sauger, fondly remembered him.

“Marv was a gentleman and was very kindhearted,” she said. “His entire career was spent in Macomb County government serving the people here. He really loved Macomb County.”

ing, politics, entertainment, captains of industry, socialites and others. Some described it as the “best party ever.”

Many said the Black & White Gala was a great event. Smiles and laughter filled the room, and 150 tickets were sold.

“Last night was so successful, we have already talked about repeating the event for next year and making it perhaps an annual event,” said Warren City Council Secretary Mindy Moore, a Warren Symphony Orchestra board member.

In attendance were elected officials including Warren Mayor Lori Stone, Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel, state Sen. Paul Wojno, current and former Warren City Council members, members of the Macomb County Board of Commissioners, leaders in the community and several 37th District Court judges.

“This is a great community event. It shows a lot of support and love for our Warren Symphony Orchestra that is such a jewel to our community,” said Judge Steve Bieda of the 37th District Court in Warren. “I was very proud and delighted to be the honorary chair of the gala. It’s (the Warren Symphony Orchestra is) something I’ve been attending since I was a kid.”

The event was a fundraiser for the orchestra. The nonprofit relies on donations, grants and funding. Donation envelopes were at each table.

“Usually, one fundraiser would pay for one concert,” Moore said. “Because concerts are pretty expensive.”

Moore continued.

“It would be great to have enough funding that would pay for our concerts and to have a sponsor for our youth concerts,” said Moore. “Certainly, part of our mission is to introduce youth to symphonic music.

And we want to inspire interest and love of all kinds of music to children.”

The orchestra was started when string instruments were removed from a local school district’s curriculum. The WSO was created to expose school age children to classical music and build the next generation of classical music lovers, and to inspire a love for the arts.

Wojno presented three tributes to the mayor honoring the Warren Symphony Orchestra. Included were tributes from U.S. Sen. Gary Peters, the Macomb County Board of Commissioners and the state of Michigan, which was signed by several of Stone’s former colleagues in the Michigan Legislature and by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

The gala started with words from Andrew Neer, the new Warren Symphony Orchestra’s musical director and conductor.

He asked how many in attendance had seen a symphony orchestra perform in the past year. Less than 25% of the more than 150 people in the room raised their hands.

Two tickets were placed at each seat for the orchestra’s next performance, on Feb. 4. The symphony will perform Stravinsky’s suite from “The Firebird” ballet, Mendelssohn’s “Fingal’s Cave,” and Tchaikovsky’s “Romeo and Juliet (Fantasy Overture).”

The Warren Symphony Orchestra String Quartet performed at the gala.

Sherri Martilla, a violinist and member of the quartet, has been with the orchestra for 30 years. She also holds the title of concert master and personnel manager for the orchestra.

“There are several of us who are still around. We were with the orchestra with Dave Daniels, founder of the orchestra and musical conductor of the orchestra,” Martilla said.

Many from the orchestra talked about how making music with others is an emotional and bonding experience.

“It’s a pretty cool thing to be sitting in the orchestra and participating with your part and then being so close to all these instrumentalists and creating this musical experience,” Martilla said. “It’s just a very unique thing that we get to do as musicians, especially with symphonic music. That’s why we all keep coming back.”

The Macombers, a group of singers, dancers and actors from Macomb Community College, performed. They were a crowd favorite singing standards, musical theater numbers and pop genre favorites. The selections included “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” “Singin’ in the Rain,” and “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You.” Many in the audience sang along and moved to the music.

Warren man faces sentencing for bomb threat at 37th District Court

Be good to yourself

MOUNT CLEMENS — A Warren man has been found guilty of making a bomb threat at the 37th District Court and now faces sentencing.

Lynn Morton, 73, was found guilty of making a false report or bomb threat, a four-year felony; and assaulting, resisting or obstructing officers, a two-year-felony, on Jan. 23 in Macomb County Circuit Court. According to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office in a written release, Morton refused his right to a jury trial and had a bench trial.

In September 2022, Morton reportedly telephoned the 37th District Court in Warren and made a bomb threat. He was arrested on Oct. 18, 2022, and refused Warren police commands while in custody, according to prosecutors.

Morton’s attorney, Vincent J. Toussaint, declined to comment at this time.

Sentencing is scheduled for 9 a.m. on Feb. 29 in Macomb County Circuit Court before Judge Diane Druzinski.

“Threats to our judicial system and resistance to law enforcement are serious offenses that will not be tolerated. This guilty verdict sends a clear message that such behavior will be met with legal consequences, and our justice system will hold individuals accountable for their actions,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said in a statement.

Sisterhood has team dreaming of state finals trip

1-800-631-9956 1

MACOMB COUNTY — If you walk into the office of Regina-Lutheran North United head coach Paul Buscemi at Big Boy Arena, it’s impossible not to notice the alumni inspiration wall.

The wall, a tradition started last year by Buscemi, is filled top to bottom with quotes from former Warren Regina and Macomb Lutheran North hockey players, and it’s the first thing the team sees before they make their way into the locker room.

While the wall spells out encouragement and love for each Regina-Lutheran North team that calls the locker room home, the years and years of sisters to grace the United uniform tell a much deeper story of what the team is all about.

Senior Gina Schaffran follows in the footsteps of her two sisters, Annie, who is currently an assistant coach on the team, and Elizabeth; junior Kaitlin Garrett follows her older sister, Allison, who graduated last year; and senior Kate Hetherington has her older sister, Reese, a 2019 graduate.

Then there’s the in-locker room sisterhood of senior Neely Taylor and sophomore Laney Taylor, or even team manager Jennifer Heppler, the mother of senior Elisabeth Heppler.

There are teams that describe themselves as a family, and then there’s a team that actually has the culture of being a family, regardless of the co-op designation of Regina or Lutheran North.

“They teach each other and they support each other, and that was our talk at the beginning of the year,” Buscemi said. “We can’t get down on each other. We’re going to make mistakes, we’re going to learn, and we’re going to support each other. They’ve done a great job on that.”

There’s laughter and conversation in the locker room before each practice as the team congregates around Buscemi’s desk, but when they step on the ice, they’re all business, especially after last season.

Regina-Lutheran North fell to Grosse Pointe North 5-4 in the semifinals, coming up one game short of a trip to the state finals.

“The last two minutes of the game, we dominated them,” Buscemi said. “We hit the goal post twice. I think if we had another minute, we would’ve played in the championship last year.”

It was an impressive ending to a season where United was 1-8 through the first two months of play before capping off an 11-5 finish.

Carrying momentum into the season, all but one player for last year’s squad, and See HOCKEY on page 19A

Senior citizens can find long lost yearbooks online

BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — 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 collection 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.”

Yearbooks from page 12A

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 missing a few issues from the early 20th century to the 1980s. Koch said he hopes that at some point they will be able to acquire the editions they are missing from the collection.

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.

WARREN WEEKLY • FEBRUARY 7, 2024/13A

Royal Oak

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 connect with parts of their family history and do research on various historical moments,” Sheiner said.

Northville

Northville District Library has a large collection of yearbooks available online in a searchable format. They have historic yearbooks available for both high school and middle school.

Laura Mancini, the director of the Northville District Library, said these yearbooks are a great way to see what the city and the people living in the city were like during specific moments in time.

“Northville is a town that, you know, has a lot of local history to it. It’s a historic town, and people are very proud of their history and very interested in it. So we do have folks that regularly research Northville history, and we want to be a resource for them,” Mancini said.

In addition to the libraries listed, there are several communities that have also offer these resources. Check your lo-

STAFF TACKLE THE BLUE ‘GRIT’ STUDENTS, DETROIT LIONS’ SPIRIT

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candnews.com

STERLING HEIGHTS/TROY — With a NFC North Division championship this year, the Detroit Lions enjoyed their best season in more than 30 years.

As fans cheered for their hometown team, the star athletes created a football frenzy at Susick Elementary in Troy and Grissom Middle School in Sterling Heights.

Both schools are in the Warren Consolidated Schools district.

From wearing Lions T-shirts to creating artwork in hues of blue and gray, staff and students from the two schools paid close attention to the NFL team in recent weeks.

The Lions’ banner year, for instance, gave Susick teachers the chance to emphasize the school’s Positivity Project. The Positivity Project is a character education program that focuses on the 24 character strengths in psychology, including perseverance, integrity, bravery and purpose.

“That’s how we’re grabbing their attention,” Susick Principal Michele Babbish said.

“Each week they get a new character strength

to focus on, and the kids are drawing a connection.”

“I think this is an awesome project because we got to learn facts about the Lions we didn’t know,” fourth grader Marialina Sto said.

Many Susick students — especially those following the team for the first time — studied the history of the Lions. Through their research, they learned the team was the underdog for many years, including their 2008 season with zero wins and 16 losses.

That’s where the Positivity Project came in. The students have witnessed the football players utilize the same character traits they use at school, including teamwork, staying positive, gratitude, forgiveness, curiosity and enthusiasm.

“They’re such a good team and (coach) Dan Campbell has such a positive attitude,” Babbish said when visiting a classroom Jan. 26. “It’s a good opportunity for people to participate in something positive and happy.”

As a writing assignment, the fourth graders wrote opinion pieces on why they See SPIRIT on page 19A

the need to have public safety fully staffed and has given us the approval to develop a new list, in the near future, once this list is exhausted,” Dwyer said.

One Warren resident expressed concern about cars being parked at Owen Jax Community Center at night for three or four hours when the building is closed.

“We went over there that night and didn’t find anything there, but did later, and I believe ticketed and towed a vehicle,” Dwyer said. “We are monitoring it closely now to see if we have any other problems.”

Michael Howard, who ran for Warren City Council in District 2 in 2023, addressed the panel about transparency in the Warren Police Department and their body camera policy.

“Transparency does not mean sharing every detail. Transparency means providing the context of the decisions we make,” Howard said. “Transparency is the currency of leadership.”

Howard gave this example.

“Not me personally, but another community member, requested the body cam policy for the city of Warren and was denied.

It went to the FOIA board of appeals, and it was denied. As a resident, my only recourse now is to sue the city to get the body cam policy,” Howard said. “I can go to Google and type in Madison Heights’ body cam policy, and it comes up.”

The commissioner addressed it.

“I can’t get into details on that at this point, other than to say that we’ve been advised by our attorneys and by other people in law enforcement not to release that,” Dwyer said. “But we’re going to take another look and see if we can’t do something as far as the confidentiality portions of it could be (redacted).”

The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office was represented at the meeting by Todd Schmitz, chief of operations.

“Thanks to Commissioner Dwyer and the Warren Police Department, the Prosecutor’s Office has changed our policy regarding felony firearm charges, and at the request of the Warren Police Department, we’ve now charged more felony firearm crimes to try to be tougher on gun crimes than have ever been charged by the office in the past,” Schmitz said.

The commissioner said he thought the event was very productive.

“I am addressing all the concerns that were noted that night,” Dwyer said.

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 Department.

“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. 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 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 See ROCKER on page 19A

currently the top team in Division 2 with a 10-5 record, the players are eager to return to the spotlight.

“This year’s seniors, they have a goal,” Buscemi said. “They came up with a slogan of ‘one team, one dream.’ The dream is to make it to the finals. Obviously, they want to win, but their goal is to make it to the finals.”

United is comprised of seven senior veterans, who all bring a form of leadership to the table for an underclassmen-heavy United squad.

Eleven of the 20 skaters on the roster are freshman or sophomores, so the need for leadership was a top priority.

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

point leaders on the team.

Schaffran leads the team in points (14) and goals (12) while Tomezak’s nine assists tops the scoresheet.

Neely Taylor, who is second on the team with 13 points, said she’s enjoyed being the person the underclassmen can look up to.

“It’s definitely a change because I used to look up to the older girls, now I’m the mentor for them,” she said.

Neely Taylor also has the job of mentoring her younger sister, Laney.

Laney Taylor has come into her own this season at the forward position.

“She doesn’t want to admit that I’m right sometimes,” Neely Taylor said. “When coach Paul tells her something, she looks at me like I should say something. I’m just like, ‘He’s telling you what you need to do.’”

United has also seen significant contributions from sophomore sensation Ruby

Des Madryl, who has 10 points on the season; freshman Ella Barnhard (currently second on team with nine goals); and freshman Lana Wright.

Barnhard recently put up a two-goal game on Jan. 26 against Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook Kingswood, which is currently second in Division 2.

Buscemi said Barnhard missed on a scoring opportunity during their win against Cranbrook, and he let her know about it, but it was Barnhard who got the last laugh as she scored moments later. Barnhard plays with a fire under her, and she’s shown her full potential as an impact player already in her first season.

It’s hard to talk about United without mentioning how the goaltenders and defense have been getting the job done. United has allowed two or fewer goals in nine of their 14 matchups.

Neely Taylor and Schaffran lead the

defensive unit as team captains, but Wright, freshman Morgan Stockwell, and junior Brianna Champagne have been reliable contributors while Garrett and senior Claire Pullen cover the net.

“We got two solid goaltenders in junior Kaitlin Garrett, and her backup Claire Pullen,” Buscemi said. “If Kaitlin can’t make it, I have no problem putting in Claire. I think it starts from the back end and out. We have a good, young defense.”

Des Madryl, Heppler, Laney Taylor, Tomezak, and sophomore Jeneveve Lewis lead the forward position.

United has the depth and the talent to make it back to the semifinals and they’ve shown the rest of Division 2 that they’re the team to beat.

“Last season, we had our highs and lows,” Neely Taylor said. “This season, we’re coming out strong.”

it was “perseverance” that led the team members so far this season.

“They had to train a lot,” he said.

“They didn’t give up.”

“They have good grit,” Alli Gorgis said. “They didn’t give up (after) 0-16.

They probably started training so now they are better.”

cakes, Stroh’s Ice Cream, Faygo beverages, Vernors and Better Made potato chips.

On the same day, students voted on which team they would root for in the Jan. 28 game: the Lions or the San Francisco 49ers. They wrote their names on raffle tickets and dropped them in a bucket for a chance to win a prize.

“It’s building community in the surrounding area,” Grissom Principal Elizabeth Iljkoski said. “The kids are bonding with their teachers. It brings the whole (school) together. It’s been positive. We’re having a good time with it.”

Since many at Grissom are English learner (EL) students, they follow soccer

more than football, and the Lions gave them the chance to learn more about the sport. Iljkoski, whose parents were immigrants, can identify. She was an EL student herself. Her family first became interested in football when her brother played the sport while in high school. Her parents were always at the games.

The Lions played their last game Jan. 28 against the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara, California. Detroit was defeated, 3134. The San Francisco 49ers will take on the Kansas City Chiefs Feb. 11 in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. The Lions have never played in the Super Bowl.

Game on

The Lions also became the “mane” attraction at Grissom. During the playoffs, staff bonded over “tailgate” style luncheons straight out of Ford Field. On Jan. 26, the menu included Jet’s Pizza, Chuck and Dave’s dips, Hacienda 313 Urban Chips, Sanders

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 band. The threesome will meow their way across 20 cities in the U.S. so get ready to prance the “Stray Cat Strut.”

“It’s like it never ended,” Rocker said of the band. “It’s a lifelong thing. It’s like having brothers.”

Rocker is a member of the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. In 2013, he received a lifetime achievement award from Bass Player magazine.

How we got here

Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued a call for a special election to fill the District 13 seat vacated by Stone and the District 25 seat vacated by Westland Mayor Kevin Coleman, both Democrats, amid objections from Republicans in Lansing.

In January, Whitmer endorsed Xiong for the District 13 seat.

In a letter to Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson on Nov. 22, the governor cited the Michigan Constitution and Michigan election law to support her call for a special primary election on Jan. 30 and a special elec-

tion on April 16.

“The Michigan Legislature had one of the most productive sessions in Michigan history thanks to Michiganders who elected leaders, like state representatives Coleman and Stone, to get things done on the issues that make a real difference in people’s lives,” said Whitmer in a November press release.

“As we look ahead to 2024, these special elections will ensure that Michiganders in the 13th and 25th districts have representation in Lansing working for them as soon as possible. I look forward to working with the next representatives from these districts when voters elect them in the new year.”

Republican state Reps. Ann Bollin of Brighton Township and Mike Harris of Waterford categorized the Democratic governor’s call for a special election as “rushed,

not prioritizing the people,” and as not following the same precedent when Republican seats are vacated.

“This move should raise some eyebrows, especially given the precedent of scheduling elections differently based on what way these districts swing along party lines. When three Republican House seats were vacant in late 2021, the governor scheduled those special elections for March and May of 2022. Why the sudden rush to fill the latest vacancies?”

Bollin stated in a written release.

Harris expressed the additional toll it would take on the community.

“Far too often, politicians in Lansing disregard local viewpoints and undermine community needs,” Harris said in a written release. “Scheduling special elections on irregular dates will cost local governments in

Metro Detroit, and the chaos of overlapping voting periods will heap burdens on local clerks, the area residents who work the polls, and voters.”

Harris added in the release, “The governor announced the special elections the day before the long Thanksgiving weekend, giving potential candidates only until Monday to file their paperwork.”

Milestone Bar & Grill ECU keeps others warm

MACOMB COUNTY — This winter, about 1,000 homeless students and their families in Macomb County will have a little extra to help them stay warm during the cold months.

This past holiday season, they received coats, hats, scarves and mittens through the Macomb Intermediate School District’s Homeless Education Project.

Through a partnership with Extra Credit Union, headquartered in Warren, members and staff of ECU donated personal care items and clothing items to be distributed to the families. They also raised $1,910 towards the program.

The definition of those experiencing homelessness can include a family without a regular nighttime residence; families in emergency shelters or transitional housing; and those living with relatives or in their cars.

Drone from page 3A

Photo by Donna Dalziel

The Warren Fire Department’s drones can fly high, take pictures and sense infrared heat.

There are restrictions on the drones, said the commissioner, and all the requirements will be followed under their licensing.

Included in the purchase will be software that will make video available to the public, which can be accessed on the department’s website, in case anyone wonders why they are flying over their home.

“We can assure the public we are not attempting to spy on them,” McAdams said. “It is an incidental flyover relative to what we are trying to do.”

Call Staff Writer Gena Johnson at (586) 498-1069.

Many of the council members appeared enthusiastic about the drones and wanted to know more.

“This sounds terrific,” said Councilman Jonathan Lafferty. “I would ask that when your FEOs are trained that we are invited for a demonstration. This would be a terrific item for communications to do a story and have a half-hour program on how they (drones) work.”

The drones have been used by other city departments.

“I will tell you, these drones are absolutely amazing,” said Council Secretary Mindy Moore. “I saw a demonstration when we had our police and fire event at City Hall.”

The Fire Department has let the Police Department use its drone in some situations, according to Moore.

“They (drones) can look up at a roof and know what the problem is,” said Moore. “I am totally in favor of this. I have talked to many firefighters. They have convinced me this is a fabulous tool.”

According to McAdams, the department has one existing drone and some trainer drones. It is the intent to put their existing drone in a first response vehicle and train fire engine operators how to use the new drones.

The vendor has included training. Twenty additional people will be trained to operate the new drones, which requires a Federal Aviation Administration license for the operator to fly it up to 400 feet above the ground.

“So we will have an initial response and a longer-term response capability,” McAdams said.

The new drones will be used as a secondary response. This is because the new drones have double the flight time, up to 55 minutes, compared to the department’s existing drone, with a flight time of 20 to 25 minutes in warm weather, according to the commissioner. The flight time decreases in cold weather to 10 to 15 minutes or even less depending on the temperature.

The drones come with a warranty period.

“If we crash it, there is a replacement included,” McAdams said.

As part of its safety features, each drone requires a spotter, someone to watch the drone while it is in the air. In addition, there is an audible warning when it begins to lose power.

“The fail-safe is the new drones will return to ground if the power drops down to a minimum level and you don’t bring it down.

It will bring itself down. It will return to where it took off,” McAdams said.
