BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com

WARREN — Wearing dress uniforms and led by a bagpipe-playing officer, the Warren Police Department Honor Guard filed into Woodside Bible Church in Warren to begin the promotion and appointment ceremony on Feb. 24.

“Today, I get to do what is the best part of my job,” said Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer.

Some of Warren’s finest were celebrated for their

new roles within the department and sworn in to serve in their new positions. Each person honored came on stage and said a few words. Emotions ranged from ebullient to holding back tears. Many of the honorees thanked their family, the Warren Police Department, Mayor James Fouts and the Warren City Council.

“Warren Police Department is the destination police department in the area,” said Dwyer.

According to the commissioner, the strengths of the department include the pension and benefits, working

Family’s freedom during wartime is ‘One Star Away’

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

WARREN — As a young child living in Poland during World War II, Jozefa (Ziuta) Nowicka, her parents and siblings were awakened at 3 a.m. when Soviet soldiers forced their way into their home.

The family was taken to a Siberian labor camp, where they were forced to work while enduring near starvation, disease, separation and freezing temperatures. It was family patriarch Konstanty (Kostek) who helped his wife Teodora (Tola) and six children escape imprisonment.

Nowicka’s daughter, Imogene Salva, chronicled her mother’s footsteps to freedom by writing the book “One Star Away.”

On March 9, the author and educator will pay tribute to her mom by sharing her story from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Warren Civic Center Library, located at 1 City Square, east of Van Dyke Avenue and north of 12 Mile Road. An Eventbrite link at rb.gy/gox7jk has been added for individuals who wish to register for the evening, although walk-ins are also encouraged.

“I am honored to tell my mother’s story,” Salva, a Colorado resident, said in a prepared statement. “Growing up in New York City, I realized that my mother’s wartime experiences were shared by thousands and remain relatively unknown to the rest of the world.”

As the war raged on, Polish General Władysław Sikorski reached out to dignitaries in other countries to inquire if they could

take in Polish refugee children. Nowicka, her older sister, Jadwiga (Jadzia) and their brother, Jozef (Jozek) eventually had a new place to call home: India. They moved to the Asian country after an Indian maharajah responded to the general’s request. Salva will further discuss that and other sufferings the family survived while they were displaced.

The Piast Institute, located at 11633 Joseph Campau Ave. in Hamtramck, is hosting Salva’s visit. Her appearance is the first of a two-part lecture series sponsored by Piast to mark its 20-year anniversary.

“The book was so touching,” Piast Institute Executive Director Malgorzata Tulecki said. “People will be able to ask questions and to hear the story. It’s a great one.”

The Piast Institute, a nonprofit organization, is a national research and policy center for Polish and Polish American Affairs. It is also one of 48 U.S. Census Bureau Information Centers and one of two located in Michigan.

The Piast Institute develops conferences, seminars, data publications, public programs, lectures and exhibits. The organization acts as a data resource center that helps Polish, Polish American and other business and community groups develop policy papers and historical, cultural, political, economic, social and demographic studies on a wide variety of topics.

IT’S SHOWTIME!

WARREN — The talented cast of the Warren Civic Theatre is ready to perform the musical comedy “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” Performances will be held at 7 p.m. on March 10, 7 p.m. on March 11 and 3 p.m. on March 12 at the Owen Jax Recreation Center, 8207 E.

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 tricounty area.

WARREN — The St. Faustina Conference of St. Vincent de Paul, in Warren, has been awarded a $1,000 grant to provide groceries, rent and utility assistance, and vouchers for local families from the Christian Financial Credit Union Outreach & Impact Foundation.

This was one of the two grants awarded to local organizations.

“Rising inflation costs are impacting our community, increasing the cost of everything from groceries to gas to clothing,” said Christine Quitter, director of business development and community outreach at CFCU, based in Sterling Heights. “These organizations are empowering the next generation and improving quality of life for residents during these challenging times. We’re so proud to partner with them in these efforts.”

According to the St. Faustina Conference of St. Vincent de Paul’s website, the church provided food for 52 families in January — a total of 137 people.

“Our SVdP (St. Vincent de Paul) Conference is honored to be selected for the CFCU grant to assist us in helping to feed hungry families and senior citizens in our community. We will be able to restock our shelves with nonperishables, fresh produce and dairy products as well,” said Joan Theisen, treasurer of the St. Faustina Conference. “We appreciate the foundation offering this opportunity to organizations like ours to continue our work to those in need.”

The need for food for those in need is constant.

The church is asking for items for Easter food bags, according to its website. The bags will be distributed in March. Easter is April 9 this year.

CFCU’s other grant went to Vista Maria in Dearborn for $5,000 to provide professional work clothing for young people in their Shepherd Hall Transitional Living Program.

The Christian Financial Credit Union Outreach & Impact Foundation is focused on the communities the credit union serves in Macomb, Oakland, Wayne and St. Clair counties. To learn more about the foundation, or to apply for a grant, visit christianfinancialcu.org/ foundation.

WARREN — It only takes watching one game to realize what makes Warren Michigan Collegiate boys basketball so lethal on the court.

Yes, their offense is explosive and physical, and multiple players can drop 20-plus points at the drop of a hat, but there’s one particular area that has shown why Michigan Collegiate is ranked 13th in Division II, according to Michigan High School Athletic Association rankings.

“To be honest, it’s been our man-toman defense; it’s been a staple,” Michigan Collegiate coach James Scott said. “We’ve been able to switch one through five because we’re so versatile.”

Led by seniors Rashane Smith and Makell Johnson-Dobbs, Michigan Collegiate has allowed just over 40 points per game en route to their 18-2 record and Charter School Conference-East league title this season.

Michigan Collegiate held a 12-game winning streak during the season, including a league-clinching win over Detroit Edison on Jan. 31 where the defense collected 13 blocked shots in the win over Edison.

According to the governor in a press release, “The project is expected to generate a total capital investment of $6.1 million and create around 80 jobs, supported by a $480,000 Michigan Business Development Program performance-based grant. Michigan was chosen for the project over a competing site in Ohio.”

In addition, the governor stated, most associates in the new distribution center will prepare large or bulk items like lumber for shipping to stores and customers. The jobs offer consistent schedules and competitive pay, and Home Depot provides growth and promotional opportunities, training programs, paid internships, and tuition reimbursement.

The distribution center will provide sameday and next-day delivery to customers in the Midwest.

According to the press release, the city of Warren has offered staff assistance in support of the project. Interested applicants can visit careers.homedepot.com/ for more information.

“Yes, I am very happy about it (the Home Depot distribution center). It takes an older site, somewhat of an eyesore and it has been polluted. It’s been cleaned up and we’re going to have to have a productive place, a world center for Home Depot,” said Warren Mayor James Fouts. “I think a lot of this was due to the fact that we advertised about moving to Warren and about different places offered (in Warren). We’ve done some data and analysis and found out that the MI Warren campaign on television has led to business coming to Warren and people moving to Warren.”

The Home Depot facility is part of a larger project that will include the demolition of the existing structures, site and utility infrastructure development and 1.4 million square feet of new industrial space that will house multiple tenants.

The construction crews have demolished the former structure, cleared the area and part of the new building is erected.

“Macomb County is very pleased to see this very large and recently idled corner in the city of Warren redeveloped for a new use so quickly,” said Macomb County Department of Planning and Economic Development Director Vicki Rowinski. “It goes to show that Macomb County’s busy-friendly ecosystem is working as it should.”

The other Michigan expansion project is Commonwealth Industries in Jackson. Commonwealth Industries is an electrical engineering firm that has been part of the Jackson community for more than 100 years. They are relocating their headquarters to downtown Jackson where they have purchased and renovated the four-story Comerica Bank facility.

According to the governor, the company selected Michigan over a competing site in Texas. This project is expected to generate a total capital investment of $4.2 million and create 60 engineering and office management jobs. It was supported by a $400,000 Jobs Ready Michigan program performance-based grant.

“Let’s keep working together to grow our economy and create good-paying jobs.

Our bipartisan economic development tools helped us bring home $17 billion of projects securing 15,500 jobs,” said Whitmer.

of modern design and music in the post WWII era,” William Wood, the director of cultural affairs and community engagement at Macomb Community College, said in a prepared statement. “We are offering a great slate of presentations, performances, artifacts and exhibits that will immerse visitors into this intense period of creative advances.”

The exhibit’s first presentation, “Paradise Valley and Black Bottom,” was held March 1 with Detroit historian Jamon Jordan, of Black Scroll Network History & Tours. The guest speaker shared his knowledge of two predominantly Black Detroit neighborhoods: Black Bottom and Paradise Valley. The former Hastings Street connected the two neighborhoods.

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

WHAT REALTORS ARE SAYING ABOUT MICHIGAN VACATION PROPERTIES

METRO DETROIT — Anyone with a family member who owned property in northern Michigan can recall the memory of weekend trips Up North to the cottage or the lake house.

The simple sight of a long-lasting general store or a go-to ice cream spot can evoke a longing to possibly own their own place Up North one day, but buyers would be hardpressed to find a healthy amount of property inventory throughout Northern Michigan.

From Traverse City to Caseville, properties have been bought up at the first sight

of a listing, and Royal Oak-Max Broock Realtor Matthew Bazner attributed the active market to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“A lot of people who couldn’t go anywhere had to cancel trips, so they just purchased a cottage in Michigan, and that really spurted the prices up,” Bazner said.

So, what cities are the hot commodities

Foundation Authority Experts Say Fixing Problems Early Can Many Times Save Money!

For most of us, the home is our family’s largest investment — one that’s only as strong and secure as its foundation.

Problems there, whether it’s a growing crack or water infiltration during the spring thaw, are the last thing anyone wants to see or hear about. But hearing information you can trust from the best in the business of addressing those problems can many times save you money, especially when problems are identified and corrected early.

The experts at the Foundation Authority specialize in identifying and fixing all basement or crawl space issues.

“It’s always important to have someone look at your house if you notice something is wrong,” said Richard Piccirilli of Foundation Authority. “If you

can catch it early enough, most of the time we can keep the expense down.

Dealing with home repairs is unpleasant and inconvenient to say the least, but when you must address any issues, it’s best to hear from a full-time team of experts who know how to diagnose and repair problems including foundation cracks, bowed basement walls, leaks or excess moisture.

“Sometimes when you have things going on with your house, you don’t want a contractor to come in and sugarcoat it and put in a cheap fix just to make the price sound good,” Piccirilli said. “You want someone to come in and put in the correct fix to solve the problem the first time.

“You find that you have two different types of people,” Bazner said. “The first is how far people want to be from metro Detroit, and the other is people who find a place wherever they want.”

Petoskey area, you also have those amenities in the winter and not just in the summer, because you have ski resorts to take advantage of as well,” Royal Oak-Max Broock Realtor Renee Pfeil said.

Traverse City, while one of the more expensive locations, has been recognized as a premium location for buyers.

Showcasing a city life, wineries and a lake presence as well, Traverse City has been hot on the market.

Pfeil, who grew up in the Cheboygan area, said Traverse City’s versatility has been its biggest attribute.

“Traverse City has become a really popular area just because of all the amenities,” Pfeil said. “You still kind of have access to get to a Target, all the city living places, the wineries, but you still have the lakes to take advantage of, the beautiful beaches, the dunes and all that.”

Towards the middle part of Northern Michigan, the lakefront properties will always hold extensive value on the market.

With Michigan universally recognized

— Matthew Bazner, Royal Oak-Max Broock Realtor

as one of the top states for boating, it’s no secret why areas like Burt Lake, Charlevoix and Mullet Lake have continued to be vacation spots.

“The other area is that whole chain of lakes from Cheboygan, Lake Huron, going into the Cheboygan River, Mullet Lake, Burt Lake and Crooked Lake,” Pfeil said.

“That whole boating scene is pretty popular in the summer and a nice area where inventory is still really low because it’s hard to find stuff on the water there.”

Typical prices in the channel lakes between Burt and Mullet lakes have ranged from $300,000 to $500,000, with the higher-priced properties typically offering an updated three-bedroom lakefront property.

Ruthann Cantile, a Cheboygan native, recently purchased a lakefront house on Lake Huron, between Mackinaw City and Cheboygan, which she plans to turn into an Airbnb.

Cantile said she’s excited to show visitors what the area has to offer.

“It’s kind of nice to share Cheboygan’s lakes, rivers and trails in not only summertime but wintertime activities, like snowmobiling and ice fishing,” Cantile said.

Areas in the middle of Michigan such as Houghton Lake, Higgins Lake and Roscommon continue to be popular, specifically for buyers with proximity to metro Detroit in mind.

Bazner said he’s come across two types of buyers looking for vacation properties in Michigan.

“You find that you have two different types of people,” Bazner said. “The first is how far people want to be from metro Detroit, and the other is people who find a place wherever they want.”

Areas such as Caseville, Lexington, Port Huron and Tawas Lake have provided the lakefront properties while also saving metro

Detroit-based buyers time on driving.

Lexington, Caseville and Port Huron still offer a walk-around-town feel while providing the summertime feel that buyers are looking for.

“I’ve had clients who were really more interested in Tawas Lake, Higgins Lake, Caseville and Port Huron area just because the drive time is better,” Pfeil said.

Michiganders aren’t the only ones in the market for second homes in Michigan. Wisconsin, Ohio and Illinois natives continue to populate the market.

With time not necessarily being a consideration for out-of-state buyers, Pfeil said there are certain areas that seem to be primarily occupied by out-of-state residents.

“Up in Northern Michigan, Harbor Springs, Mullet Lake, Petoskey, Charlevoix — all that is a wide variety,” Pfeil said.

“There’s a lot of people who don’t live in Michigan that have a second home in Michigan. I know a lot of people in Chicago will travel on the west side along there in Lake Michigan.”

For Michiganders, Bazner said the buying habits are a little different.

“Southeast Michigan people tend to go anywhere; it’s ‘show me a lake,’” Bazner said.

Don’t be ‘Late for St. Paddy’s Day’ RETIRED EDUCATOR PENS FIRSTEVER CHILDREN’S BOOK

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

HARRISON TOWNSHIP — Growing up in an Irish family, Deb McCombsKaiser always celebrated St. Patrick’s Day on March 17 with her immediate family.

Her mom, Patsy, often made a hearty meal of corned beef and cabbage or shepherd’s pie. After dinner it was time to meet up with the extended family to play games, visit and sing songs — some of them traditional Irish folk songs, of course.

McCombs-Kaiser has such great memories of those holiday celebrations that it helped set the tone when she wrote her firstever children’s book. Last year, the Harrison Township resident released “Late for St. Paddy’s Day.” The book, designed for children in grades K-3, tells the story of Murphy the Leprechaun.

Murphy is a good friend to all he comes in contact with, but the one attribute he lacks is bravery. He’s the only leprechaun who won’t travel through Barna Woods all

alone; the dark shadows and loud noises scare him away. He doesn’t want anyone to know his secret.

But Barna Woods — located in Barna, in County Galway, Ireland — is the best route to take to the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day party he’ll attend. When he knows he must be on time to help set up for the social event, Murphy comes up with a plan.

Instead of venturing through the forest, he decides he will travel around it instead.

On his way to the party, however, the unexpected happens. He can hear his friends from inside Barna Woods calling for help, but will he have the courage to go inside the forest?

To find out, head over to the Harrison Township Public Library at 2 p.m. March 18, where McCombs-Kaiser will read “Late for St. Paddy’s Day.” The Harrison Township Library is located at 38255 L’Anse Creuse St., Suite A. Registration for the children’s St. Patrick’s Day party is required at htlibrary.org or by calling (586) 329-1261.

window peeping, which is a 90-day misdemeanor. Magistrate Mark Makoski set bond at $25,000 cash or surety for each count. If released on bond, Fleming is to wear a tether.

The arraignment on charges in Eastpointe follows Fleming’s arrest in Warren on Feb. 16.

According to the Warren Police Department, they received two reports of a “peeping Tom” where an unknown male in the late evening or early morning hours was allegedly seen carrying a ladder in neighborhoods near Toepfer Road and MacArthur Drive, and Toepfer and Schoenherr Road, peering in the windows of residents. According to police, one caller noted the screen from a window had been removed and the suspect was attempting to look into her daughter’s bedroom. Another caller caught the suspect on video from his security camera.

“Whenever we receive reports such as these, I immediately assign investigators and Special Operations Unit members to the case. We know the importance of quickly identifying and arresting the suspect before he escalates his behavior into more violent crime,” said Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer. “Patrol officers, detectives and SOU members made locating this suspect a top priority, knowing that peeping Tom suspects often escalate their behaviors into home invasions and sexual assaults.”

According to police, Warren investigators immediately contacted surrounding jurisdictions with possible suspect information and learned that the Eastpointe Police Department had six similar incidents with the same alleged suspect peering into windows while carrying a ladder.

“SOU members of the Warren Police (Department) were able to positively identify the suspect involved in the Warren and Eastpointe incidents after conducting sur-

veillance on the suspect which led them to the city of Oak Park where they watched as the suspect walked several times to and from the backyard of an occupied house, stood by a window, peered inside the residence and hid behind a bush,” police stated in a press release. “The suspect then fled the scene in a vehicle and was taken into custody without incident in the late evening of Feb. 16.”

“Thankfully, this suspect is off the streets and will no longer be frightening residents in the tricounty area,” said Dwyer.

Macomb County Prosecuting Attorney Peter Lucido went on to thank both the Eastpointe and Warren police departments for working together to apprehend Fleming.

“It is despicable that someone would prey on young children,” Lucido said in a statement.

A pretrial hearing was scheduled for March 15 in the 38th District Court in Eastpointe.

Fleming’s attorney, Bradley Friedman, declined to comment.

According to court records, Fleming currently has a hold in the 36th District Court in Detroit for possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of ammunition by a felon and two felony firearms counts.

The Michigan Offender Tracking Information System shows that Fleming has served time for other offenses. Most recently, he was released on Aug. 30, 2022, after spending a year in jail for possession of a stun gun.

Dawn Fraylick, communications director for the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, said Fleming was arraigned on a charge of window peeping March 3 in the 37th District Court in Warren. Bond was set at $25,000 cash or surety. If released on bond, Fleming is to wear a tether.

Dwyer: ‘No. 1 priority’ should be on mental health amid violence SHOOTING SUSPECT REPORTEDLY HAD DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF MENTAL ILLNESS

BY GENA JOHNSON GJohnson@comcast.net

WARREN — A 53-year-old father managed to call 911 after being shot in the face by his 24-year-old son on Feb. 24.

Warren police and firefighters were dispatched to a home in the 29000 block of Schoenherr Road north of 12 Mile Road around 9:15 a.m. First responders pronounced the son dead at the scene.

According to police, a search warrant was executed to secure evidence and no other victims were found. Investigators learned the suspect had documented mental illness.

Police said the father reported he was physically assaulted by the son inside the residence where the son retrieved a weapon and shot him. The father was able to exit the home and was found bleeding profusely on the front porch, and was then taken to the hospital.

Less than a week later, a 20-year-old male confessed to deliberately setting a house on fire in the 30000 block of Austin Drive.

“A neighbor called to let him know his house was on fire,” said Warren Fire Commissioner Wilburt “Skip” McAdams. “The 20-year-old said ‘he knew and didn’t have a problem with it. And had plans to set himself on fire but thought better of it and did not go through with it.’”

According to the Fire Department, the

man was taken to the hospital for evaluation and clearance. He was covered in gasoline.

The 20-year-old was arrested and remained in police custody. The fire caused more than $100,000 worth of damage to the home, but there were no injuries.

Experts contend that much of the violence in society is rooted in mental illness.

“At least one-third of the gun violence that we are experiencing today throughout the country is from the people who are mentally ill, who cannot get treatment, or we can’t have them put in an institution where they can get treatment,” said Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer.

“We can put more gun laws on the books, I would support that but quite frankly, we’re not even enforcing the laws that are on the books now,” Dwyer said. “Our No. 1 priority should be to get mental health treatment for these people that are suffering and are committing these vicious, violent homicides.”

Dwyer attributed the root of much of the gun violence to political decisions that were made decades ago.

“The governor of the state, I’m not going to name the governor, closed down all the mental hospitals,” said Dwyer. “Today it is very difficult for people with mental health problems to get treatment. We used to be able to take them to a hospital that treats the mentally ill. That’s not available any longer because of what the politician did at that time. Those that want treatment can wait up to six months for treatment and in some areas people can’t afford the treatment.”

McCombs-Kaiser’s cousin, Charlie Hnatiuk, of Toronto, is the illustrator of the book.

“The illustrations are amazing,” McCombs-Kaiser said.

It took 10 years for McCombs-Kaiser to write “Late for St. Paddy’s Day.” Her husband, John Kaiser, and son John Kaiser Jr. “have been very supportive of me becoming an author.” It was her 16-year-old son who influenced the friendship theme behind the story.

McCombs-Kaiser is a retired Utica Community Schools resource room teacher, and another influence was her students over the years.

“I think that was a big part of it,” the retired educator said. “I had small groups of students, so I got to know the kids. You strive for that personal connection.”

Reading was always encouraged in her classroom.

“I love seeing kids excited about books and reading. You use your imagination. Kids get excited,” McCombs-Kaiser said. “You see

McCombs-Kaiser has already acquired fans of her first book, including Betsy Facione, of New Baltimore. Facione worked alongside McCombs-Kaiser for many years in the UCS district.

“She taught in another classroom right next to me,” Facione said. “The students loved her.”

Facione, who retired after 45 years, was among the many colleagues who encouraged McCombs-Kaiser with her writing.

“I have read her book. I loved it so much I bought a copy for each of my four grandchildren,” Facione said. “I like that it wasn’t just a cute, little story. It has a lesson to be learned in it.”

Facione also appreciates all the research McCombs-Kaiser put into “Late for St. Paddy’s Day.” “She’s dedicated to what she is doing,” Facione said. “I know she worked hard to make everything perfect for this book.”

“Late for St. Paddy’s Day” is available on Amazon, IngramSpark and at independent bookstores.

seem to be overlooked in the rankings.

Holding an 18-2 record, a league title and a lengthy win streak should, at the very least, constitute a top-10 ranking, but Michigan Collegiate isn’t worried about that.

Johnson-Dobbs said the team pays attention to the rankings, but said their selfconfidence outweighs any rankings system.

“We always talk about the rankings, but the teams ranked ahead of us are teams we know we can beat,” Johnson-Dobbs said.

“We definitely haven’t gotten the respect we deserve. We should be top three, if not No. 1.”

Michigan Collegiate will open the MHSAA Division II state tournament against Center Line on March 8 at 5:30 p.m. at Warren’s Lincoln High School.

some of our JV guys would be on varsity at other schools. It makes you want to guard because people are fighting for playing time.”

Spearheaded by a strong defense, Michigan Collegiate’s offensive attack has contributed to just under 67 points per game.

Led by 6-foot-7-inch junior Dylan Grant and Johnson-Dobbs, Michigan Collegiate has averaged just under 71 points per game during their current five-game winning streak.

Grant said their defensive unit has been their strongest offensive weapon.

“I feel like our offense has been triggered by our defense,” Grant said. “We get the stop and drive down and drive into the lane and kick it out.”

Smith and junior guard Nathaniel Savage have been consistent offensive contributors for Michigan Collegiate this season.

With one game left against Port Huron before their state tournament opener against Center Line (16-4), Michigan Collegiate will look to continue the hot streak into tournament play.

Michigan Collegiate is no stranger to elite-level competition, opening their 2023 campaign against Harper Woods, Warren De La Salle Collegiate and Orchard Lake St. Mary’s respectively.

Michigan Collegiate went 2-1 during that three-game span, losing to defending MHSAA Division I state champion De La Salle, but it was a learning experience for Scott’s squad.

“I told our guys, ‘They went to a championship. They went to another level,’” Scott said. “I thought they took their game to another level, and I thought it was good for our guys because we were in a similar situation with Orchard Lake, and we pulled it out.”

While back on the radar, Michigan Collegiate’s accomplishments this season

Seniors, students and spaghetti

WARREN — During the “Senior Spaghetti and Conversations Town Hall” at the Thompson Community Center Feb. 27, state Rep. Lori Stone (D-Warren) spoke with residents about the different aspects of aging. Many community resource partners participated, and a spaghetti lunch was served by students in the Warren Woods Tower High School culinary arts program.

“It was truly heart-warming to see the students connect with the seniors who attended. The luncheon would not have been the same without the delicious array of food prepared and served by the students for this special event,” Stone said in a prepared statement. “I want to thank the students and teachers who helped make this happen, especially Ms. Suzanne Murray and Mr. Jon Grommons, who supervised the students’ participation in the successful community event.”

K E E W E H T F O RIME C • K E E W E F TH O E M I R C • K NEWSWORTHY OF THE WEE INCIDENTS REPORTED TO LOCAL POLICE, AS COMPILED BY C & G REPORTERS

Chainsaws stolen

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 5:50 p.m. on Feb. 14, in the 31000 Harper Avenue, officers responded to an incident where three chainsaws were stolen.

Upon arrival, officers spoke to an employee who stated that two unknown suspects entered the store, took the chainsaws and left without attempting to pay for the merchandise. A second employee provided descriptions to the officers and said that they left in a white vehicle.

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.

When an officer warned the driver that he would be pepper sprayed if he kept kicking, they were able to close the patrol car door and take him to the St. Clair Shores Police Department for processing.

Vehicle theft reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 1:51 p.m. on Feb. 5, in the 20000 block of Eastlawn Street, officers responded to a report of a stolen vehicle.

Upon arrival, officers were met by the registered owner who stated that the last time she saw her vehicle was around 4 p.m. on Feb. 3. She noticed her car was missing at approximately 1 p.m. on the listed date. Officers made contact with a neighbor who last saw the vehicle on Feb. 3 and noticed broken glass on Feb. 4. The neighbor stated she disposed of the broken glass she found.

Customers leave without paying

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 8:35 p.m. on Feb. 1, in the 23000 block of Marter Road, officers responded to a report of customers walking out on their bill at a restaurant.

Upon arrival, officers spoke to the manager who stated the suspects ordered and consumed food. The suspects then allegedly got up from the table and walked out without paying. They got in a vehicle and left westbound on Marter.

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

People walk out on bill

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 12:12 a.m. on Feb. 5, in the 23000 block of Harper Avenue, an officer responded to a call of a party leaving a restaurant without paying.

Upon arrival, the officer spoke to the manager, who stated both the suspect and the suspect’s friend walked out on a bill, but the suspect left the receipt and her license. The two left in an unknown direction.

Contact was made with the waitress who attended to the table, but she did not have much information. The officer advised that a report would be made.

Road rage, assault reported

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.

Woman scammed out of $1,000 after being told sister is hostage

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.

The locks had been damaged at the main office of the apartment complex. The vandal caused approximately $170 worth of damage. Police were investigating.

Business broken into, items stolen

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Officers were dispatched to a business in the 46000 block of Van Dyke Avenue for a breaking-and-entering that had been discovered at 1:58 p.m. Feb. 5. The owner of the business, when he arrived for work, discovered that some of his merchandise was missing.

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.

Meijer catches customers stealing in self-scan checkout

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 12:30 p.m. Feb. 5, officers were dispatched to Meijer, 15055 Hall Road, for a complaint of a retail fraud in progress. Loss prevention officers observed two subjects in the self-scanning area not scanning all the items in their carts. Police arrived on the scene while the suspects were still in the store. Loss prevention officers stated that the suspects would self-scan one item, then place multiple items in their bags. Both subjects were arrested and charged with retail fraud.

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.

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.
