Shores council votes to demolish water tower

BY ALYSSA OCHSS

aochss@candgnews.com

After a heated discussion, council members voted 5-2 on Feb. 21 to demolish the water tower that sits on the grounds of the St Clair Shores Golf Club.

Councilmen Dave Rubello and Chris Vitale were the opposing votes.

Denise Pike, Community Development and Inspections Department director, said during the meeting they went out to bid for both demolition and rehabilitation. The city received four bids for demolition and no bids for rehabilitation. The lowest bidder was Vin-Con Demolition, which suggested a controlled fall method. Their cost was $53,809 with a 10% contingency fee, putting the total at $59,189.

“What that means is that the company would bring a crane to the site. They would come in off of Masonic,” Pike said. “They would have the crane act as a counterweight, cut the structure of the water tower and basically lower the tower down to the golf course property.”

Pike said this would be a complete removal of the tower.

“The project involves a complete removal of the water tower footings and accessory piping to a depth of 24 inches below grade and a complete restoration of the site,” Pike said.

Two reports about the tower’s condition were provided for council members: one from the late 1990s and a report compiled in 2021 by Hennessy Engineers Inc. for a combined total of around 30 pages.

“In 1998, the city received a engineering review from the then city engineer, NTH consultants, which noted that there was corrosion from moderate to severe in the anchor bolts in the structure that holds the tower,” Pike said. “In 2018, HRC (Engineering) also noted that the structure was in poor condition. In 2021, Hennessey Engineers noted that the exposed concrete footing piers that are above grade have severely deteriorated over time and that there is significant corrosion on the an-

Citing concerns over its structural integrity, the St. Clair Shores City Council recently voted 5-2 to demolish the water tower that has stood since the 1920s.

Attendance growing at St. Clair Shores Senior Activity Center

BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com

The St. Clair Shores Senior Activity Center gained 450 members since this time last year, according to Senior Center Coordinator Matthew Hubinsky.

After reviewing recent statistics, Hubinsky discovered that the number of members they currently have is around 1,700 people.

He said this increase can be attributed to spreading the word by word-of-mouth, through newspaper ads and across social media.

The center is also “just a great place to be,” Hubinsky said.

St. Clair Shores Parks and Recreation Director Henry Bowman, who is also a member of the senior center, said he’s definitely seen the increase.

“For the fitness center, it’s busier and busier,” Bowman said. “The age to get in there is 50, so we’re going to start seeing younger seniors going in there.”

The Senior Activity Center offers different activities to fit most people’s needs and wants. For example, some members could

be looking to exercise at the fitness center, while others are looking to join a group to knit with. Some of the members just want to get in some much-needed social time.

Hubinsky said some of the seniors can find things to do throughout the whole day.

“And some people, they’ll come in in the morning, they’ll do yoga, they’ll go to the fitness center, then they’ll stick around for maybe another class that we have or just to socialize,” Hubinsky said. “They may stay for lunch so they can make a whole day out of being here, which is cool, too.”

The center utilizes a SMART bus program as well, Hubinsky said. The buses can drive St. Clair Shores residents to the center, to appointments or to different trips around the area.

“So the SMART bus helps those who can’t drive out to here,” Hubinksy said. “And then we also see people from other cities, too. They utilize their SMART bus program to bring them here, too, so it’s really cool.”

Bowman said people utilize the center year-round.

“Busiest time for us over here is without a doubt right after the first of the year and (it) gets busy.” Bowman said. “Everybody always wants to get healthy in the new year.”

Both Hubinsky and Bowman said the renovations, whether they were seven years ago or from recent ARPA projects, helped increase membership at the center.

“I would say so, I started here, it will be three years in May, and the renovations happened back in, I think, it was seven years ago now,” Hubinsky said. “But from my under-

standing and from looking back at trends, the memberships did increase over time, so I think that did help.”

There are a number of ways to keep seniors coming to the center. Bowman said that includes keeping the machines at the fitness center clean and updated, adding more classes, and keeping the out-of-center trips going.

Both Hubinksy and Bowman sang praises for their lunch program and “Chef Marty.”

They say the lunch program is fantastic and that she is one of the reasons people keep coming in to eat lunch. Lunch sign-ups are put out the week before and have a total of 40 spots for each service, Hubinksy said.

“We ask for (a) $5 donation, but it’s not necessary for 60 and older,” Hubinksy said.

“If you’re under 60, then we ask for a $6 donation. If somebody doesn’t pay it or can’t afford it, we’re here to give back, so that’s the whole point of the program is to help out our neighbors here.”

Bowman said keeping seniors active with instructional classes is what the Senior Activity Center will keep doing.

“We want to keep our seniors active so we’re going to do a class for people on how to do disc golf and all our activities that we have set up. We want to make sure that people know what they’re doing,” Bowman said.

“I think we’re even going to look (to) start doing like a shuffleboard class, and so we can get that going.”

The St. Clair Shores Senior Activity Center is located at 20000 Stephens Street next to the Civic Ice Arena.

Towing company vote tabled

ST. CLAIR SHORES — On February 21, St. Clair Shores City Council members decided to table action on a police towing contract.

There was an original motion to approve the use of Official Towing. However, after more information came to light, the matter was tabled.

At first, it was stated a company needed five years of service with a police department or a sheriff’s department to qualify for the bid. These specs would have disqualified one of the towing companies, U Win Towing, which had only had 16 months of that required experience.

Later, the requirement was clarified to say that towing companies needed at least one contract with a police or municipal contract in the last five years and 10 years of combined experience.

With these specs in place, U Win Towing was listed as qualified, which prompted a need for further consideration before a final decision is made.

She took a stand by keeping her seat METRO DETROIT — “The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks” is a film about Parks’ involvement in the civil rights movement, based on the bestselling biography by Jeanne Theoharis of the same title. It was recently screened at the Detroit Institute of Arts to a sold-out audience.

“For years, the significance of her moment on the bus was minimized by groups claiming that she was simply tired that day, and just wanted to sit down,” said Elliot Wilhelm, the Detroit Film Theater’s curator of film. “Instead, the documentary demonstrates — factually and eloquently — that Rosa Parks was fully aware of the leadership, strength and humanity that moment embodied, and she continued to demonstrate that dedication to justice, equality and decency for the remainder of her life.”

The film was followed by two panel discussions with the film’s executive producer, Soledad O’Brien; Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson; American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten; the film’s directors, Yoruba Richen and Johanna Hamilton; and Rosa Parks’ grandnephew, Lonnie McCauley.

The screening was co-presented by Soledad O’Brien Productions, the American Federation of Teachers, The League, Freep Film Festival, and Friends of the Detroit Film Theatre.

Macomb Art Institute Authority Chair and Treasurer/Secretary of Macomb Cultural & Economic Partnership Ed Bruley said, “We were thankful we could bring 48 people to see the film in the evening, thanks to the DIA and the millage.”

The Detroit Institute of Arts millage was on the ballot in March of 2020 and asked voters in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties to renew the previous 10-year millage that provided free admission, transportation to the museum and other services to residents in the tri-county area.

tial neighborhood bounded by Gratiot Avenue, Brush Street, the Detroit River and the Grand Trunk railroad tracks. Some notable residents of Black Bottom include Detroit’s first Black mayor, Coleman Young, and boxing great Joe Louis.

Paradise Valley was the business district and entertainment center from the 1920s through the 1950s. The boundaries were Hastings Street to the east, John R Road to the west, East Vernor Highway to the east and Gratiot Avenue. In the early 1960s, both neighborhoods were demolished to make way for the construction of Interstate-375.

During the presentation, Jordan shared a virtual tour of both areas, starting with Black Bottom, which was not named after the Black community. The moniker came from early French colonial settlers who named the area after the dark, fertile topsoil found in the area.

“The French called the soil ‘fond noir.’

That’s how it gets its name,” Jordan said.

“You know Black Bottom as a Black, historic neighborhood. Prior to the 1930s, this was an integrated neighborhood of immigrants along with African Americans. First, the French and British were there and brought slavery to the city of Detroit.”

The immigrants hailed from Germany, Poland, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Syria and Lebanon. Jordan said that by the 1930s many of the immigrants had moved out of Black Bottom, and the neighborhood became “predominantly African-American.” Housing laws and discrimination prohibited Black residents from living in most other parts of the city.

In the program, Jordan discussed how many of Detroit’s streets got their names.

John R, for instance, was named after John R. Williams, who was the first elected mayor of the city of Detroit. Jordan’s video also included input from Bert Dearing, the owner of Bert’s Marketplace in Eastern Market; See CREATIVE on page 12A

water tower was painted during that time and the engineering firm was contacted to evaluate the tower. He also pointed out that, no matter when it was sent out, all three reports corroborated the same thing: the water tower has structural issues.

“It’s not the only engineering report, there are two other ones that are very recent that say the similar issues … there’s a problem with the structure and the tower,” Walby said.

Rubello later said he never wanted to call Pike’s integrity into question during the meeting.

“She’s a good, hardworking lady, a good hardworking person,” Rubello said. “We’re all in it together, (and) we got to move ahead.”

Walby later said there were no festering emotions from the meeting and moving on is something the City Council is good at.

The late 1990s report was sent to the City Council at around 5:15 p.m. on the day of the meeting. This angered Rubello.

“So, I ask you if this was such a danger, 25 years later, why is it sitting here in front of seven people having us just take a vote, could be 4-3, 3-4, 5-2, 6-1, don’t know,” Rubello said. “And if that was so important, that city manager right there should have just let us know and said this is a danger, not let it sit for 25 years like that, OK?” Pike clarified that she received the report the same day herself.

“So, the NTH consultant report was provided to me this afternoon. I believe it was found today by (the) recreation (department),” Pike said. “I do understand your concerns and your frustration.”

St. Clair Shores Mayor Kip Walby said the late 1990s report was done because the

there was no concern about lead seeping into the water system at the school.

Councilman John Caron is an engineer.

He said it’s only a matter of time with situations such as the water tower and that’s why the decision needs to be made now.

“When you have a large metal structure, heavy in weight, a crack forms and it’s under load. It fails fast, and with what that base of the tower is, it is a matter of time,” Caron said.

“Maybe it isn’t for another ten years, maybe not for another 20 years. It is a matter of time.”

Another major point brought up by council members is that the City Council has sued residents for allowing their properties to fall out of compliance with city standards.

Caron said they cannot let the tower stand any longer.

“We do that to residents, we do that to property owners, we’re not doing that to ourself,” Caron said. “We have a standard in our city. Unfortunately, that does not meet the standard.”

Rubello also said that there are birds of prey nesting in the water tower.

“You see on the left side, you know what that is — that’s a hawk’s nest or a peregrine falcon nest. One of the two. Eagles have used it,” Rubello said during the meeting. “So, the little project here isn’t going to be so easy.”

Later in the week, Rubello clarified that the bird was a great horned owl. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, these birds are federally protected.

Pike said the Michigan State Department of Natural Resources was notified and that the city was referred to the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Another concern brought up by Rubello was the paint used on the water tower. It is said to contain lead. He expressed concern about how to properly handle the lead materials to reduce the amount seeping into the ground. Rubello brought up the proximity of Masonic Heights Elementary School and children across the street.

Lakeview wrestling season ends in hardware-winning fashion

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK

jonathanszczepaniak@candgnews.com

S

t. Clair Shores Lakeview wrestling may not have qualified as a team for the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division I state finals, but their progress this season was nothing short of successful.

Lakeview, under first-year head coach Eric Julien, lost to Warren De La Salle Collegiate in the regional finals match on Feb. 15 at De La Salle High School to end their step-forward season.

While Lakeview missed an opportunity for a state finals berth for the team, they were able to walk away with one special win against Julien’s father, Rick Julien, who is the head coach of Fraser.

“The kids were definitely aware when we talked about it,” Julien said. “They knew the situation, and they knew that I had never beaten them before.”

Lakeview senior Joseph Trupiano secured

the win for Lakeview, earning the victory in the final match to advance past Fraser.

After a struggle-filled season in 2022 as part of the Macomb Area Conference-Blue division, Lakeview’s descent to the MAC-Gold gave them time to bring things back to the basics.

Senior captain Matt Horak said Lakeview’s return to the top was inspired by the memories of last season.

“The team coming into the season knew we had to put in a lot of hard work,” Horak said.

“We were all disappointed from how we performed the prior season, and (we) didn’t want to repeat that.”

Horak, the lone state qualifier on Lakeview’s squad this year, placed second at the MHSAA Region 4 Championships on Feb. 18 at Clinton Township Chippewa Valley High School.

Horak picked up two upset victories to reach the first-place match and, as a result, will wrestle in the MHSAA Division I state finals at Ford Field on March 3-4.

SCS Unified Hockey falls in regional finals, ends storybook season As St. Clair Shores Unified freshman goalkeeper William Young attempted to score in full pads during a shootout at practice on Feb. 27, his teammates cheered him on every step of the way.

The best part: Young wore a captain’s hat that is given to the “player of the game” after each matchup, and he was more than deserving, facing 46 shots and earning a .957 save percentage in SCS Unified’s 3-2 win over Grosse Pointe South.

“We were going in as the underdogs,” Young said. “I don’t think anyone in the rink

except us thought we were winning, but you just take it period by period and minute by minute. It was a fun game.”

SCS Unified (13-15) completed their tour of Grosse Pointe, earning a 6-3 win over Grosse Pointe North in the first round of regionals.

While SCS Unified would fall to War-

ren De La Salle Collegiate in the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 2 Regional Finals, their success this season brought excitement back to high school hockey in St. Clair Shores.

‘Modernize I-75’ project resumes for 2023 akozlowski@candgnews.com

MADISON HEIGHTS — Work has resumed on an ambitious project to improve Interstate 75 across Oakland County.

Late last month, two-way traffic on I-75 began sharing the northbound lanes between 13 Mile Road and Interstate 696, with two lanes maintained in each direction, while reconstruction is completed on the southbound side.

In addition, ramp closures are now in place at several locations, including the 12 Mile Road exit and entrance ramps to southbound I-75, the 11 Mile Road exit and entrance ramps to southbound I-75, and the southbound I-75 ramps to eastbound and westbound I-696. These will be in place for the remainder of the 2023 construction season.

Access will be maintained both on northbound I-75, from westbound 12 Mile Road, as well as from the northbound I-75 exit to eastbound 12 Mile Road.

At press time March 1, 12 Mile Road was closed under I-75 so that construction crews have room to rebuild the bridge. The 12 Mile Road ramps to and from southbound I-75 were also closed.

“Rebuilding the bridges that carry southbound I-75 over the county drain, located just north of 12 Mile Road, and 12 Mile Road proper, is expected to last until early fall,” said Rob Morosi, spokesperson for the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), via email. “When the bridge work is finished, we expect to open 12 Mile.

Again, the target is early fall.”

The project first resumed this year Feb. 24-27. During that weekend, it was closed in both directions between I-696 and the I-75 business loop (Square Lake Road), with all ramps to northbound I-75 closed from I-696 to 14 Mile Road, and all ramps to southbound I-75 closed from M-59 to 11 Mile.

Also during that weekend, northbound I-75 traffic was rerouted west on I-696 to northbound M-1 (Woodward Avenue), then

On March 1, Detroit historian Jamon Jordan gave a historical account of two predominantly Black Detroit neighborhoods, Paradise Valley and Black Bottom.

writer Marsha Music; and architect Emily Kutil, who is creating a project known as the “Black Bottom Street View.”

With photographs of the Burton Historic Collection from the Detroit Public Library, the Street View project will map out images of every house in the Black Bottom neighborhood. According to Kutil, there are about 2,000 photos in the collection. The site will include a searchable database where families can look up homes by family name and address.

“I think it’s really important to preserve the histories of that neighborhood so that future generations can understand its significance and can understand how we came into the place we are today as a city,” Kutil said in the video.

For more information on the Black Bottom Street View visit blackbottomstreet view.com.

Ford Field is one of Detroit’s current structures that now sits on the former Paradise Valley property.

“In the 1920s, ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s this would have been the center of the African American business known as Paradise Valley. This business and entertainment district kind of grew as African Americans were migrating from the South to the North,” Jor-

dan said. “We called that period ‘The Great Migration.’ Thousands of African Americans are leaving the South, are leaving conditions of Jim Crow, sharecropping and tenant farming and looking for jobs in places like Ford Motor Co. and other auto factories.

“From the 1920s to the 1950s there are 350 Black-owned businesses that are either in this area or very close. Hotels, restaurants, jazz clubs, stores,” Jordan said. “It will end up being destroyed after the 1956 Interstate Highway Act.” “Creative Michigan: Making the Mitten Modern” is sponsored by First State Bank, with additional support from the Fred A. and Barbara M. Erb Family Foundation, the Oliver Dewey Marcks Foundation, the Kresge Foundation and the Sonya K. Brett Memorial Endowed Fund for Cultural Enrichment Programs.

County begins project in Eastpointe to reduce combined sewer overflows

BY BRIAN WELLS bwells@candgnews.com

EASTPOINTE — Macomb County Public Works has begun an underground infrastructure project in Eastpointe aimed at reducing combined sewer overflows into Lake St. Clair.

Excavation on what the department is calling an “in-system storage” project is underway on Beaconsfield Avenue, south of Nine Mile Road in Eastpointe. Workers are digging to reach a sewer pipe set about 50 feet below ground, according to a press release.

A section of the pipe, which is 11.5 feet in diameter, will be cut away to allow for the installation of a rubber weir, which can be inflated during a heavy rain event and then released so the flow can be sent to the Great Lakes Water Authority’s Detroit wastewater plant for proper treatment, rather than being discharged into Lake St. Clair, the press release states.

“Macomb County is very focused on protecting our Great Lakes water quality,” Public Works Commissioner Candice Miller stated in the release. “We are spending the dollars needed to upgrade our infrastructure because we recognize it’s an investment in a cleaner environment for ourselves and future generations.”

the county’s Public Works Office, said this was the first time a system like this has been used in the county.

“I’m told we utilized experience from other entities that have implemented inflatable bladders in sewers,” he said in an email. “We visited Louisville (Kentucky) to talk with them (about) how they are using this similar product and also GLWA has quite a few within their system.”

Eastpointe City Manager Mariah Walton said contractors have been working with the city and residents to minimize the construction’s impact.

“Beaconsfield is closed at Oak, which does impact residents in that area,” Walton said. “The contractors have been working incredibly well with the city and residents.”

Walton said the contractors have prioritized communicating any updates with residents in the area and city officials. Traffic has also been rerouted and signage has been posted for residents and those commuting through the area, she said.

The project is expected to cost $12.4 million and will be paid for using federal, state and county funds and will not cause any increase in sewer rates, the press release states. It is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

eastbound Square Lake Road to northbound I-75, while southbound I-75 traffic followed westbound Square Lake Road to southbound M-1, then eastbound I-696 back to southbound I-75.

Morosi explained that the entire modernization project will be largely complete by the end of the year, with finishing touches in 2024 such as the completion of a new drainage tunnel.

“With that said, after fall of 2023, no more traffic shifts and long-term lane closures,” he said. “The quadrant being worked on in 2023 is the final one for Segment 3.”

Segment 3 is the third and final phase of the project, now underway. It runs from 13 Mile Road to Eight Mile Road and began in August 2019, with an estimated price tag of $630 million.

In the end, the project will have rebuilt close to 18 miles of freeway, replaced 47 bridges, and modernized interchanges at the I-75 business loop, Big Beaver Road, and 14 Mile and 12 Mile roads, along with constructing the 4-mile drainage tunnel between Eight Mile and 12 Mile roads.

that traffic is being diverted into residential side streets, and it’s going to cause us a longterm issue that I’m not sure MDOT and the state have really factored in with this project.

And our local roads are going to need replacements and updates much quicker now because of the additional traffic, specifically related to some of the trucks that have had to move off I-75 due to these closures. And then there are the added gas costs to fixedincome residents driving with these congestion delays.

“So I’m concerned about our roads and residents. I’ve yet to feel we were considered in this plan in a way that remedies the issues we experience,” he said. “This project benefits the entire state, but it hurts and penalizes our city more than most. I hope that those in higher office are able to help, maybe with additional funding for projects that we now know we will need sooner, like a road that now has to be replaced 30% earlier than we planned. I mean, I get it — you look at these projects from a macro viewpoint and they’re really beneficial with a huge impact, but my question and concern is will it be worth it in the micro sense for Madison Heights specifically as a community, given that we have suffered a major impact here. It would be nice to have a plan that mitigates some of the long-term consequences.”

It was preceded by Segment 2, from Coolidge Highway to 13 Mile Road, which began in October 2018 and wrapped up in November 2020, costing $224 million; and Segment 1, from South Boulevard to Coolidge Highway, which started in August 2016 and finished in September 2017, to the tune of $90.9 million.

In the end, the project will have rebuilt close to 18 miles of freeway, replaced 47 bridges, and modernized interchanges at the I-75 business loop, Big Beaver Road, and 14 Mile and 12 Mile roads, along with constructing the 4-mile drainage tunnel between Eight Mile and 12 Mile roads.

While the changes promise to bring about greater safety and efficiencies across the region, some at the local level have their concerns. Mark Bliss, mayor pro tem of Madison Heights, said the project has been especially hard on his community.

“I hope that it all is worth it in the end, because very few communities across this entire giant project have been impacted even 10% as much as Madison Heights has,” Bliss said. “We have suffered major closures on major arteries of our city. Madison Heights is only 7.8 square miles, and we have 30,000 residents here relying on these major roads.

Police, rescues offer tips for locating lost four-legged friends

BY ALYSSA OCHSS

said. “And then we also have a chip reader, a microchip reader, so we can scan the dog once it’s brought back here, and then we can look on the website and locate the owner that way.”

If the owner is not found within a couple hours or a day, Stindt said, the pet will be given to the Animal Control unit in Macomb County so they can continue to look for the owner.

They also utilize social media to find the owner.

“We’ll also go, like, on the Shores website and take a picture of the dog and post it and then that gets shared all over the place,” Stindt said. “So, almost all the time, someone will reunite the dog with its owner, so that’s typically how we do stuff.”

Stindt said they get dogs who run away repetitively.

“In fact,” Stindt said, “there’s a web page or a Facebook page for citizens in town here and there’s one dog, a husky, that’s constantly running around, but I think they find it quick because it’s never here. The owner always gets located.”

If the dog is constantly running around, terrorizing the neighborhood, being aggres-

aochss@candgnews.com

ST. CLAIR SHORES — Whether you’ve got a pet that’s an escape artist or getting lost is a one-time incident, it is best you know the right avenues to get them back.

Sgt. Stephen Stindt of St. Clair Shores Police Department said though there is not an uptick in lost pets, it happens almost daily where people will call in and say they’ve found or lost an animal. And there is a procedure the Police Department follows when someone comes in with a lost pet or they call in saying their pet is lost.

“Obviously, we’ll look and see if the dog’s got tags or (a) call number on there, and if we can’t find the owner, we’ll bring them back here,” Stindt said.

He went on to say they have a “dog book” where they write down the pet’s features such as male or female, color, collar, and any other defining features the animal may have. This is used when an owner comes or calls saying they have lost their pet.

“Then if somebody else finds them, calls ‘Hey, I found a dog,’ we cross reference and then we can contact the owner,” Stindt

“If that is an issue then we could take enforcement (action) on that if we had to; typically, we don’t do that as a general rule,” Stindt said. “But if it is a constant problem and the animal is terrorizing the neighbor-

hood, we have issued citations in the past for that.”

At the Humane Society of Macomb, Executive Director Michael Wilke said they haven’t seen an uptick in their lost pet board.

He also said they are finding a way to reconfigure the board to make it more community friendly.

CRIME

WATCH Man reports debit card used illegally

At 12:29 p.m. on Feb. 17 in the 21000 block of Arrowhead Street, a 48-year-old man came into the station to report that his debit card had been used illegally.

The man said he received a text from his bank alerting him to purchases made with his card. The items purchased were a VR headset, a PlayStation 5 and a laptop. The man was able to cancel his debit card, and the bank advised him to call the store where the items were purchased.

The store informed the man they were able to cancel the laptop but the VR headset and game console had already been picked up.

Vehicle theft reported on Shady Lane

At 6:26 p.m. on Feb. 16, a report was taken about a vehicle theft that occurred sometime on Feb. 15 or Feb. 16 in the 19000 block of Shady Lane.

Officers were reportedly dispatched to the home of a 57-year-old male, who, upon their arrival, told officers that he exited his residence to discover his vehicle had been stolen from his driveway. The last time he said he saw his vehicle was on Feb. 15 between 6:20 p.m. and 7 p.m. when he and his wife returned home from dinner. He had the only key and the vehicle was not equipped with OnStar.

While observing the scene, officers found no evidence. Neighbors were contacted who had surveillance footage.

Burglary reported at business

At 6:19 a.m. on Feb. 26 in the 21000 block of Harper Avenue, a burglary occurred at a business.

When officers arrived, they were met with an employee who said he arrived at work and discovered the glass on the back door had been smashed. The owner was on the phone with the employee and said he pulled up a video showing two men entering the business at 6:19 a.m. They reportedly stayed for around 10 seconds before fleeing the scene.

The adjacent building also had a window smashed, but the suspects couldn’t get through because it was reinforced with plywood. An employee from that business said the owner would arrive later that day and could get the video footage.

Catalytic converter theft investigated

At 11:30 a.m. on Feb. 28 in the 24000 block of Manhattan Street, St. Clair Shores police assisted the Troy Police Department, investigating a case involving the theft of catalytic converters.

Officers met with a sergeant from the Troy Police Department who said his task force had been observing a vehicle and occupants driving around and stealing catalytic converters. He and his crew observed the vehicle travel to the stated location where they allegedly observed a suspect stealing a catalytic converter. They reportedly followed the suspect to LA Fitness on Eight Mile Road where they converged on him while he attempted to steal a catalytic converter.

A passenger was also in the vehicle. Allegedly also found inside the car were catalytic converters, a reciprocating saw and extra blades.

Charges against the two men are pending.

senior defenseman Owen Storbeck said. “To finally kind of give back to the program and finally bolster it up, I think it’s great we’ve been doing that.”

Storbeck, alongside seniors Ben Cornwell and Landon Klein, led the veteran leadership for a young SCS Unified team that featured five freshman and six sophomores.

It was a major shakeup after only being a year removed from a team of 11 seniors, but SCS Unified’s mixed-bag roster rose to the occasion every chance they had.

Only trailing De La Salle 3-2 late in the second period, and midseason improvements that shaped the team’s season towards the right path, SCS Unified coach Nick Radjewski said he was impressed with his squad’s performance this year.

“All of it was positive,” Radjewski said. “They should look back and say, ‘Hey, they were a pretty good team and we hung with them.”’

Talent wasn’t a question coming into the year, but rather how the young core would mesh coming into the varsity season.

SCS Unified’s 8-17 season last year left plenty of questions on what the team would look like, but Storbeck, Klein and Cornwell stepped up as vet-

New health care apprenticeship program at Macomb

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

Macomb Community College recently introduced health care apprenticeships to students after receiving federal funding.

MACOMB COUNTY — Macomb Community College students considering a career in the health care field will now have the opportunity to participate in an apprenticeship.

In addition, Macomb’s Michigan Apprenticeship Program Plus, also known as the MAP+ program, will continue to offer opportunities to interested students.

Both programs are made possible through federal funding that the college has received.

According to Macomb officials, the health care apprenticeship initiative is being funded by $2.6 million secured by U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Michigan.

The health care apprenticeship program is brand-new for the college, and an advisory board helped to get it off the ground.

“We ran multiple sessions engaging our community partners,” said Narine Mirijanian, the dean of Health and Public Service at Macomb. “The college is very passionate about fulfilling our mission.”

The three-year apprenticeship initiative is designed to create a pathway to opportunity and sustainability for students and local health care organizations. So far, two students have acquired apprenticeships and close to 15 students are waiting to be placed. The goal is to have 60 apprenticeships completed over the three years, and also to set a model for the southeast Michigan health care sector.

According to a college press release, the program is designed to provide students the opportunity to earn money while they are learning in the classroom. An apprenticeship program trains future employees to become skilled in a trade or profession.

Apprenticeship training combines classroom learning with hands-on work as students prepare for entry-level, patient-centered or business-oriented health careers.

in 2016 with funding through the U.S. Department of Labor American Apprenticeship Initiative. From 2016 to 2021, the college registered 375 apprentices representing 41 employers in the region and served 452 pre-apprentices. The MAP+ program continuation is supported by a $610,000 appropriation through U.S. Sen. Gary Peters, D-Michigan.

“Ensuring that our community’s residents have access to the training and support to succeed and prosper in the 21st century workforce, and that local employers have the talent necessary to sustain and grow their businesses is an imperative for Macomb Community College,” Macomb Community College President James O. Sawyer IV said in a prepared statement. “We’re deeply appreciative of the advocacy and action of Sens. Stabenow and Peters to secure critical financial resources that further our work in these areas.”

The MAP+ program works in collaboration with the Macomb Intermediate School District to welcome students interested in the region’s construction and manufacturing sectors, including automotive, aerospace and defense. In the program, students enroll in shop math, industrial safety, blueprint reading and hands-on training. The MAP+ Industrial Readiness program is provided at no cost to students.

“On successful completion of the classes, which are completed in one semester, students earn a certificate with nine credits that can be applied to an associate degree and are connected to employers seeking talent,” the press release states.

MAP+ is seeking students for this fall.

“The health care apprenticeship is a new concept for us. It was a vision the college had along with the community,” Mirijanian said. “We are very aware of what’s happening in the community. After COVID, there are significant deficiencies in the workforce.

With the apprenticeships, the students could be earning and learning at the same time.”

The initiative involves eight programs ranging from six weeks to one year and at least 2,000 hours of on-the-job instruction.

Because of the federal grant, the apprentice will incur no costs for tuition, books, laptops, uniforms and background checks.

“We’re very excited,” Mirijanian said.

“The grant was very well thought through to successfully really start the program.”

According to Macomb officials, some students will achieve their career goals with completion of the entry-level program, while others will use it as a stepping stone to continue their education, enhance skills and advance into higher-level opportunities in health care fields.

The health care apprenticeships will offer the following certifications: medical reimbursement specialist; professional coder; nursing assistant; dental assistant; laboratory assistant; medical assistant; pharmacy technician and phlebotomy.

A certified professional coder, for example, updates patient records with standardized information needed for data management and billing purposes. Students who enroll in the phlebotomy program learn how to draw blood from patients and prepare the samples for testing.

Classes will be held at South Campus in Warren and at Center Campus in Clinton Township. For more information about health care apprenticeships, email jurya707@macomb.edu.

eran leaders. Klein was second on the team in points (31) and tallied a team-high 18 goals on the year while Cornwell (27) was third on the team.

“It’s fun being the leader,” Cornwell said. “I’ve been here since my sophomore year, and I’ve always looked up to the older kids. It’s kind of cool being the older kid and being the one people look up to now.”

Klein was sidelined for the rest of the season in early February due to injury but continued to serve as a veteran presence despite his absence on the ice.

Radjewski said Klein translated his on-ice impact to a mentor role.

“Even though he can’t get onto the ice, he’s at all the practices and the games,” Radjewski said. “His contributions aren’t overlooked. He’s a big part of it.”

While the seniors carried the weight of the leadership, the underclassmen flexed their muscles through the entirety of the season.

Led by sophomore Brennen Lenk, who led the team in points (33) and assists (20), SCS Unified’s youth not only helped this year’s squad but also left excitement for next season.

Freshman Zach Delmonte was fourth on the team in points (25), while freshman Gavin McKee (25) and sophomore Vaughn Zmijewski (23) both collected over 20 points this year.

Radjewski said there were high expectations for the

25A

ST. CLAIR SHORES SENTINEL • MARCH 8, 2023

young core this season.

“They all come from a pretty good pedigree,” Radjewski said. “They played at a pretty high level before they got here. Also, we’re not afraid to give them minutes off the bat. We’ll throw them in the fire.”

Winning back-to-back games three times all year, including their 3-0 start to the season, SCS Unified went through its trials and tribulations all year.

Going through a 1-7 stretch during the season and failing to see anything click, Radjewski said he was exhausting every resource.

“It was hard,” Radjewski said. “There were times where us coaches would talk about things where we didn’t have answers and were just pushing every button to see if it worked. It was a lot of one-on-one conversations.”

But when it mattered most, SCS Unified turned everything around to reach Radjewski’s first regional finals game since joining the staff 10 seasons ago.

Now, sporting a strong sophomore and junior core next season with soon-to-be seniors Austin Brown and JJ Tackett at the helm, SCS Unified finally has some solid ground to build off of.

Expectations will be higher and the regionals will no longer be unfamiliar territory, but more importantly, the team chemistry is at an all-time high.

“The nucleus is close, they care about each other, they’re friends away from the rink and hang out with each other all the time,” Radjewski said. “It’s what you want as a coach.”

Wrestling from page 10A

While Horak’s chapter on his senior season is still unwritten, Lakeview seniors Dylan Castle, Sean Bias and Trupiano made unmeasurable contributions to Lakeview’s young and incoming core.

Trupiano, a senior captain, earned MACGold most valuable player honors this season, leading Lakeview to a 16-6 overall record, a district championship and an undefeated season in league play, winning the MAC-Gold division.

Julien said the seniors’ work with the younger wrestlers in the offseason was a viable part to Lakeview’s success this season.

“It was a very big impact. I know this summer, Dylan (Castle) took a lot of this summer getting those guys into the wrestling room and having them work.”

As a result, Lakeview saw contributions across the board from various wrestlers, including junior Brady Pope, junior Hayden Grainger, sophomore Logan Craft, sophomore Oliver Koepp and sophomore Ryan Doebler.

Lakeview’s rise to the top included a win

of St. Clair Shores Lake Shore to secure the city championship.

The Lakeview coaching staff presented the boys with a blue Worldwide Wrestling Entertainment championship belt in honor of their city championship win, but more importantly, they earned revenge for last season’s loss to Lake Shore.

“I kind of knew last year they had beat us, and I knew it left a bit of a sour taste in coach (Dan) Carr’s mouth,” Julien said.

Carr previously served as the interim head coach for Lakeview wrestling last season and is an assistant coach on the Lakeview staff this season.

Lakeview’s season may be over, but there’s no question that the 2024 squad will have a solid foundation to build off of.

Behind a core of incoming seniors and strong junior class, Lakeview will look to be a continuous threat in the MAC-Gold.

Julien said he’ll continue to focus on one aspect entering the 2024 season.

“The biggest thing is a family-like culture,” Julien said. “I want all the guys, whether it’s the coaches hanging outside or the kids hanging outside doing something — I want the kids to have fun.”

Wilke said there are a couple things they have to do when they have a pet surrendered by a person who is not the owner. Surrender in this case can mean a stranger who found a pet in their neighborhood, or an owner who cannot care or provide for the pet.

“I don’t want to misspeak for what the exact rules are behind it, but I know we have a certain timeframe we can’t turn around and put the pet right back up on ours (our adoption board) for adoption or for foster. We have to give time for the owners to try and find the pet,” Wilke said.

Along with the set timeframe, they also check for microchips.

“We’ll post that we have a lost pet here, but you would be surprised of how many animals are actually chipped nowadays,” Wilke said. “So, we can find them or find the owners or find out if they’re from a different shelter.”

Wilke said one of the ways they prevent lost pets from getting out during the adoption or fostering process is making sure the home they are going to is secure.

“That’s one of the biggest things when we turn around and try to have someone come and adopt a dog or foster a dog. It’s always one of the big things making sure that they have good enough areas so the dogs can’t get out,” Wilke said. “So, we will try to make sure they are going to a good home in that regard.”

Wilke said they also make sure every animal they foster out or adopt out also gets chipped so the owner can find them if the animal does get lost.

Stindt said the biggest thing to prevent a pet from getting out is to make sure their areas are secure.

“Well just make sure your gates are secure and your front doors are secure,” Stindt said.

“We got a lot of dogs that can push through doors, so if they’re not secure, or fences or gates (are not secure), that’s the biggest thing. Just make sure your yard is secure where they can’t go through a wooden fence or push through your gate.”

The employees were given a copy of the report number.

Driver arrested after traffic stop

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 12:53 a.m. on Feb. 9, on Eight Mile Road at Harper Avenue, officers were doing a routine traffic stop when another vehicle sped past.

They followed the vehicle into a gas station, where they approached the driver, a 20-year-old man. The driver was allegedly aggressive, yelling profanities at the officers, flailing his arms and making other movements.

It was found the driver did not have insurance, and he continued to act disorderly until the officers tried to put him in the patrol car.

The officers advised the manager to save any video evidence for detectives.

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 2:12 a.m. on Feb. 13, on Interstate 94 at 10 Mile Road, officers responded to a road rage incident involving a felony assault.

Upon arrival, officers met with the victim, a 46-year-old man, who stated he was driving east on I-94 in the area of Nine Mile Road when a vehicle carrying four men cut him off. The victim proceeded to cut them off and the back and forth proceeded two more times. The victim then shouted for them to fight him. They proceeded to match his speed and fired four shots into the side of his car. When the officers asked the victim about the details, he reportedly got defensive.

The victim stated he followed the vehicle to get a license plate but was unsuccessful. The officers asked why he did not call the police, and the victim stated he was alone at the time.

There was a bullet hole in the victim’s vehicle, but no bullets were found.

Driver found with drugs

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 11 p.m. Jan. 31, an officer on patrol in the area of 22 Mile and Ryan roads initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle for a traffic violation. The vehicle was not registered with the Secretary of State, so the officer impounded the vehicle.

The driver reportedly appeared very nervous when informed that his car was going to be impounded.

While doing an inventory search of the vehicle, the officer located a gun in the back seat, police said.

When the driver was being handcuffed, a straw with fentanyl was located on him. The driver was placed under arrest for carrying a concealed weapon and possession of fentanyl.

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 3:02 p.m. Jan. 30, officers were dispatched to the 12000 block of Culver Drive, near 21 Mile and Schoenherr roads, for a fraud

report. The caller stated that she had received a phone call from an unknown man. The man told her that her sister was being held hostage and he needed $1,000; otherwise, he would hurt her sister. The caller then withdrew $1,000 from her bank account and wired money to a location in Mexico. Shortly after sending the money, she spoke to her sister on the phone, and her sister informed her that she was OK and that the phone call was a scam. Police were investigating.

Driver with expired license plate admits she drank too much

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — An officer on patrol in the area of West Utica and Dequindre roads observed a vehicle with an expired license plate at 2 a.m. Jan. 29.

The vehicle was also unable to maintain its lane.

The officer initiated a traffic stop. When talking to the driver, the officer reportedly could smell a strong odor of intoxicants. The driver stated that she had just left a local bar and reportedly admitted to having four beers. The officer then had the driver exit her vehicle so she could perform field sobriety tests.

After completing the field sobriety tests, the driver was offered a preliminary breath test. The driver refused to take the PBT, telling the officer that she didn’t want to take one since she already knew she was over the legal limit, according to police. The driver was then placed under arrest for suspicion of operating while intoxicated. She was then transported to the Police Department, at which time a blood draw was completed to determine the driver’s blood alcohol content.

Apartment complex office locks damaged

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 7:51 a.m. Feb. 1, officers were dispatched to an apartment complex in the area of West Utica and Ryan roads for a vandalism report.

Surveillance video showed two individuals inside the building stealing merchandise overnight. The burglars gained entry by pulling the exterior door open.

Evidence technicians were called to the scene to gather evidence. The detective bureau was investigating.

Burglar attempts to steal vehicle

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 7:39 p.m. Feb. 3, officers were dispatched to a residence in the area of 21 Mile and Hayes roads for a breaking and entering report.

Officers made contact with the homeowner, who stated that he went out to his garage that morning and discovered the garage door was partially opened. He then discovered the rear window to his vehicle that was parked in the garage had been broken out. Also, paneling under the glove box was removed with wires hanging out.

Police said it appears that the burglar broke into the garage to attempt to steal the vehicle that the homeowner had parked inside, but the burglar was unsuccessful in stealing the vehicle. Police were investigating.

Almost $1,000 in Nike clothes stolen

STERLING HEIGHTS — Two female suspects allegedly shoplifted $995 worth of Nike clothes from Kohl’s, 44200 Schoenherr Road, Feb. 3. The suspects allegedly hid the merchandise in a purse and additional bags before leaving without paying.

They reportedly got away in a gold Chevrolet Equinox toward the direction of the nearby Steak ‘n Shake before witnesses lost sight of their vehicle. Police investigated the area but couldn’t find the vehicle.

Safe, piggy bank raided at home

STERLING HEIGHTS — A burglary reportedly happened sometime between 9:15 a.m. and around 8:30 p.m. Feb. 3 at a home in the 5000 block of Woods Drive, near 14 Mile and Mound roads.

The victim reportedly noticed the basement lights being on upon return as well as open doors upstairs that had been closed earlier that day. A bedroom safe and a piggy bank were also broken and raided, police said.

According to police, cash, a wedding ring, necklaces and other jewelry were stolen. Police spotted pry marks on some doors. Police said they had no suspects.

NOTES NEWS ITEMS TAKEN FROM SOME OF OUR LOCAL COVERAGE AREAS

WARREN HELPS NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE CONTINENT

WARREN — After the 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Turkey and Syria on Feb. 6, leaving more than 41,000 people dead and hundreds of thousands displaced from their homes, Warren mayor James Fouts wants to help and is seeking support in his Earthquake Relief Drive.

“I am volunteering to collect new/gently used clean blankets, overcoats/coats, gloves, scarves, beanies, new, never-worn underclothing, and warm clothing items to send to Turkey and Syria,” Fouts said. “I will also donate a personal check of $1,000.

I encourage other mayors in the metro area to do the same!”

Items can be dropped off at the Mayor’s Office until March 13. The office is located on the second floor at Warren City Hall, Mayor’s Office, 1 City Square, Suite 215, Warren, MI 48093.

“I encourage others to donate whatever they can, as this is the most devastating earthquake in nearly a century!” said Fouts. “Imagine small children being dug out of rubble, as well as old people and babies trapped outside in cold frigid weather without warm clothing and protection!”

Donor registry awareness bill introduced

LANSING — On Feb. 1, state Reps. Lori M. Stone, D-Warren, and Penelope Tsernoglou, D-East Lansing, introduced House Bill No. 4060. The legislation, if passed, would encourage physicians at private practices or urgent care centers to provide information to patients interested in organ, tissue or bone marrow donations.

“This legislation would raise awareness for patients to be informed on how to have their name placed on the donor registry,” Stone said in a prepared statement.

“The bone marrow, organ and tissue donor registries have declined significantly over the past few years. The bill recognizes the important role trusted medical experts fulfill as a conduit to provide resources, educate and answer questions. This information can help increase the number of donors on Michigan Organ Donor Registry — awareness is key.”

Shrine students raise money for veterans

BERKLEY/ROYAL OAK — Students from Shrine Catholic Grade School recently raised money to support local veterans.

According to a press release, students held a fundraising drive to support veterans of the U.S. military. The money, a total of $2,200, was given to the Berkley American Legion Post 374 during a pep rally on Feb. 3.

The funds then were given to the American Legion Department of Michigan for use by the Michigan American Legion Foundation in support of wounded and returning veterans in the state.

“We are incredibly proud of our students for their hard work and dedication to support our veterans,” John LaCroix, a teacher at the grade school, said in the release. “Their efforts have made a significant impact on the lives of those who have bravely served our country. We would like to thank the Berkley American Legion for their support and guidance throughout this initiative.”

TOWNSEND HOTEL RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF MICHIGAN’S BEST BIRMINGHAM — The annual U.S. News & World Report Best Travel Rankings has recognized Birmingham’s Townsend Hotel as a top hotel in Michigan. Awards, recommendations and ratings expressed by travel experts and guests were used to determine this year’s Best Hotels.

“The Townsend Hotel team works very hard to ensure that each and every guest has a memorable experience at our property, for all of the right reasons,” Steven Kalczynski, the managing director of the Townsend Hotel, said in a press release. “It’s always rewarding to receive confirmation, through recognitions like this ranking, that our efforts are hitting the mark.”

The Townsend Hotel was ranked fourth behind the Grand Hotel, Hotel Walloon and The H Hotel.
