Shores physician convicted in unlawful distribution case

aochss@candgnews.com

ST. CLAIR SHORES — A former St. Clair Shores physician has been convicted of 21 counts related to the unlawful distribu-

tion of prescription drugs, according to a press release.

United States Attorney Dawn N. Ison said Bernard Shelton, 66, was also convicted of a patient’s overdose death that resulted from the unlawful prescribing.

Shelton was convicted by a federal jury in Detroit, the press release said. His office was located in St. Clair Shores on Harper Avenue, and the patient who died was a St. Clair Shores resident.

According to the press release, Shelton’s

trial began on February 28, 2023, and was conducted before United States District Judge Denise Page Hood.

“The evidence demonstrated that Shelton prescribed over 5.5 million doses of See PHYSICIAN on page 21A

City Council opts in to third opioid settlement

BY ALYSSA OCHSS

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At their April 3 meeting, the St. Clair Shores City Council approved a request to participate in the new National Opioids Settlement. This will be the third settlement the city has opted into.

Assistant City Manager Michael Greene said the first two settlements gave the city about $117,000. The amount for the newly signed settlement has yet to be determined, as it depends on how many communities decide to opt in to receive the money.

“For this new one, unfortunately we don’t know yet. The deadline to opt in isn’t until April 18, and at that time, the state will have a better idea,” Greene said. “Because the formula, the way it works, it’s based on how many communities opt in so they get a pot of money and then it will get distributed from there once they’re settled.”

Communities that have a population larger than 10,000 people have the opportunity to opt into the settlement, Greene said. However, some communities feel they would gain more from filing their own lawsuit and taking it head on. Greene said these communities are also on the larger side.

Greene said there are five distributors and pharmacies named in the settlements. He said the state of Michigan has finalized settlements with four of them and the only outstanding one is Walgreens.

Greene said that there are rules that come with these settlements and that communities are limited on what they can use the money for. Greene said it helps communities with health and human services departments, but since St. Clair Shores doesn’t have that, they’re going to use it for other things.

“We’re going to be looking to do a lot of opioid-related training with our public safety folks, and we’ll also be able to buy them specialty equipment or additional Narcan that can help fight drug overdoses,” Greene said.

If administered quickly and effectively, Narcan can save lives by reversing the effects of an overdose.

RECORD STORE DAY CARRIES THE RIGHT TUNE

BY MARIA ALLARD

allard@candgnews.com

Davey Taylor, of Weirdsville Records in Mount Clemens, looks forward to welcoming music fans April 22 for Record Store Day 2023.

File photo by Patricia O’Blenes

METRO DETROIT — Cue those turntables: It’s time to kick out the jams.

On April 22, local independent record stores will open up shop for Record Store Day 2023.

Record Store Day, held internationally, was launched in 2007 to give employees and customers the chance to gather and celebrate the independent record store culture. In addition, record companies release new music or re-release albums on vinyl not available elsewhere. That could include picture discs and LPs from bands no longer together.

“Record Store Day started out when vinyl was making a comeback,” said Davey Taylor, who with wife Lisa Taylor owns Weirdsville Records at 61 Macomb Place in Mount Clemens. “It’s about helping the mom-and-pop shops. Sometimes you get a lot of new customers that have never been to the store or new people who just got a record player.”

Back in February, a compilation of the music to be released April 22 — along with a list of participating stores — was posted at

www.recordstoreday.com. Recordings from various artists — including John Lennon, P.M. Dawn, Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, the Black Keys and Van Halen — will be available in vinyl format.

“It’s stuff from the ’80s, ’90s and 2000s that has never been on vinyl before. It’s the only day you’ll be able to get specific titles,” Taylor said. “It’s music only available to independent record stores, not the big box stores.”

On April 22, Weirdsville Records will have 20% off used merchandise. Taking it one beat further, patrons can groove to the vibe of Record Store Day with live music beginning at 1 p.m. from two bands: the Slot Rods and the Fabulous Hen House Boys.

‘It generates business and lets people know that record stores still exist.’

Several local record store owners predict this year’s big seller will be Taylor Swift’s “Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions.”

“Anything Taylor Swift does will be popular,” said Henry Pardike, who manages UHF Records at 512 S. Washington Ave., in downtown Royal Oak. Pardike also predicts “Live With The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra” by The 1975 will be popular.

“That’s one of the biggest pop bands right now,’ Pardike said. “A new Beach House EP is coming out and the Mars Volta has a reissue of an EP of theirs.”

According to Pardike, Record Store Day was scaled down in 2020 and 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it came back “to a normal session” in 2022.

“It’s an extremely busy day, but it’s also a fun day,” Pardike said. “Many people are looking for very specific things. A lot of (titles) are limited releases. To cut down on flippers, people can’t buy multiple copies of anything.”

Some music fans travel for hours to shop.

“There are people that come down from Traverse City, Alpena and Sault Ste. Marie,” Pardike said. “Most people make a day of it.”

Pardike believes vinyl LPs made a resurgence because “everyone loves music.”

“People want the artifact,” he said.

“They’re not just listening to the music on their phones. They look at the linear notes.”

Some take the event so seriously, they line up hours before the stores open. That has been the case at Village Vinyl, located at 5972 Chicago Road in Warren. The store will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 22 with lots of giveaways throughout the day.

“We’re running 20% off selected items and 10% off everything in the store excluding the Record Store Day items. It’s a very exciting time. It generates interest. It generates business and lets people know that record stores still exist,” said Village Vinyl owner John Lehl, who expects to receive titles from the Ramones, Motörhead, The Cure and others for Saturday.

“We’ve ordered from different vendors and different distributors. The big one this year is Taylor Swift,” Lehl said. “Every generation is buying records now, even little kids.

Listening to a record is an experience. Rather than hitting a button, a lot of people that like vinyl and music can look at pictures and read linear notes.”

Lehl has witnessed many performers become fashionable again based on how the music is getting out there. The 2018 film “Bohemian Rhapsody,” starring Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury, is a prime example.

“When they put the Queen movie out, there was a lot of interest,” Lehl said. “With ‘Stranger Things,’ Kate Bush is selling again.”

At 9:19 a.m. on March 31, a report was made about a bad check cashed between Dec. 29, 2022, and March 31, 2023, at a business in the 28000 block of Harper Avenue.

An officer was dispatched to the location, where they were met by the manager, a 64-year-old woman, who said the suspect, a 24-year-old woman, had cashed a fraudulent check.

On Jan. 4, the check was returned and stamped and the account was frozen/blocked.

Dine and dash reported at restaurant

At 9:36 p.m. on April 2, a report was made after two people reportedly ate and left without paying at a restaurant in the 23000 block of Marter Road.

Upon arrival, an officer spoke with the manager, a 19-year-old woman, who said an older man and a teenage boy consumed food at the restaurant before receiving their bill at 7:16 p.m. She said the boy went out to a vehicle and the man stayed inside and said he was waiting for someone to send him money.

The manager said a large group walked into the restaurant and that the man left during that time. They have footage of the incident and the manager said she would provide it at a later time.

Suspect arrested after alleged attempt to elude police

At 3:26 a.m. on April 6, a man was arrested after he allegedly attempted to elude police near Harper Avenue and Colony Street.

An officer was on routine patrol when a vehicle with a defective taillight was observed stopped at a red light, appearing to follow another vehicle closely. The officer pulled up to the vehicle and noticed the driver didn’t match the description of the registered owner.

Both vehicles continued on Nine Mile Road with the officer following. As one vehicle made a right turn, the other reportedly did as well, nearly hitting the officer. One of the vehicles passed the other, and the officer pursued the passing vehicle while activating his emergency lights, suspecting it was stolen. The officer called for assistance and followed the vehicle as it disregarded lights and accelerated. Police caught up to the vehicle on the ramp to eastbound Interstate 94 as it slowed down and stopped. An officer commanded the suspect, a 27-year-old man, to put his hands up, and he complied. The suspect was pulled out of the driver’s seat. Once he was secured, he was handcuffed and taken to the St. Clair Shores Police Department, and then to the Macomb County Jail.

A KNIGHT TO REMEMBER

Eastpointe resident celebrates 50 years with Knights of Columbus

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

EASTPOINTE — Before their monthly meeting March 28, members of the Knights of Columbus Holy Innocents-Saint Barnabas No. 14213 Catholic Community recited the rosary.

“We’re going to pray for the kids and adults that were killed in (the) Nashville (shooting), the unborn and our members that are in the hospital,” Grand Knight Lou Carver said.

The Knights of Columbus is a fraternity of men promoting their faith, supporting their local parish, priest and community. According to Carver, St. Barnabas and Holy Innocents combined Knights Councils when St. Barnabas Catholic Church in Eastpointe closed.

The Knights meet on the fourth Tuesday of the month at Holy Innocents-St. Barnabas in Roseville. The group organizes various events, including community dinners, food drives and family activities.

One popular event is the monthly potluck euchre tournament held at 6 p.m. on the first Friday of the month at the church’s social hall, located at 16359 Frazho Road in Roseville. The cost is $5 per person, plus a dish to pass.

Among the Knights members at the March 28 meeting was Eastpointe resident James Shanahan, who recently celebrated a milestone: 50 years as a Knight. For the achievement, Shanahan received recognition and a special pin, which his friend Linda Accettola, of Warren, pinned on him to make his anniversary official.

“When I got the pin, it really hit me,” Shanahan, 69, said. “It’s just a great feeling.”

One could say that becoming involved in the Knights of Columbus is a Shanahan family tradition.

“My uncle, my grandfather and my dad were all Knights, especially my dad. He was big into it,” Shanahan said. “In his heyday, my dad was a police officer in Detroit. He was the sergeant at

GP Woods resident uncovers historic baseballs after 23 years

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK

jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

GROSSE POINTE WOODS — On a typical Sunday, one might spend time in the basement searching for something, cleaning or putting things away.

Grosse Pointe Woods resident Cyndy Lambert found herself in a similar situation recently, but the outcome was much different than finding a photo album or holiday decorations.

As Lambert was in a corner of her basement where she typically stores comforters and plastic containers, she discovered a Disneyland bag that hadn’t been touched since she moved into her home 23 years ago. Under spiderwebs and dust were 11 signed baseballs from her childhood that she collected at various memorabilia shows and Detroit Tigers games.

“I started looking at them and I thought, ‘Wow, this is kind of interesting,’ and I saw some of the names on there,” Lambert said. “I knew about Fat Katz (Sports Cards & Collectibles in St. Clair Shores), so I took them there, and Jimmy there, he said, ‘If you want, I can look at them and let you know what I think.’ He started calling me going, ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t believe what you got; I can’t believe this was in your basement in a plastic Disneyland bag from the ’70s or whatever.’”

One ball held multiple autographs from the 1972 Oakland Athletics, which included Hall of Famers Reggie Jackson, Jim “Catfish” Hunter and Rollie Fingers; another showcased 1970s Baltimore Orioles and featured Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson; and others were multiple Detroit Tigers baseballs from the 1960s and 1970s.

While it’s tough to match up against a baseball filled with legends in the case of the 1972 Athletics, a Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees dual-signed baseball dated July 22, 1967 — an 11-4 Tigers win — carries extra historical significance.

On July 23, 1967, Detroit police raided an unlicensed after-hours bar, an act

that sparked six days of violence in the city that claimed 43 lives and saw approximately 2,500 buildings destroyed and 7,000 people arrested.

“The one riot ball, it shocks you once you find out the date and the special things the ball holds, you know,” Fat Katz owner Jimmy Merlo said.

On top of the baseball’s place in history, Lambert’s father was a Detroit police officer at that time.

“I just remember him calling our house and my mom saying, ‘What’s that noise?’ and he said, ‘It’s just the sound of tracer bullets being shot into the police station,’” Lambert said. “My mom said, ‘Where are you?’ and he was under a desk making a phone call. It was a scary time for everyone.”

With the ball holding such history and meaning, Lambert said it was only right that she give it to the Tigers. She had no recollection of the ball and how she came to have it.

Lambert, a former Detroit News writer who covered the Detroit Red Wings from 1986 to 1998, reached out to a former colleague to figure out the next steps for the historic ball.

“I actually reached out to my former colleague John Niyo at the (Detroit) News, and I said, ‘Hey, do you know someone at the Tigers I could go to for this?’ and he gave me Jordan Field,” Lambert said. “He’s with the Tigers, and he’s an authenticator, and he had to check with the archive person, Sarah, who got back to me and said, ‘Absolutely.’”

The ball will now be heading to the Tigers archive department to be displayed for fans.

A LOT MORE COMFORT FOR A LOT LESS

The historic baseball autographed by Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees that Grosse Pointe resident Cyndy Lambert found in her basement is dated July 22, 1967, just one day before the history of Detroit would profoundly change.

EXTRA Edible landscaping has more benefits than being delicious 10A/ ST. CLAIR SHORES SENTINEL • APRIL 19, 2023

BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com

E

arly spring is an important time to start planting seeds that will bud and bloom throughout the warmer months. Some local residents have decided to incorporate landscaping that is not only ornamental but also edible.

Growing edible landscaping at home has several benefits, including its economic and environmental impacts.

This kind of landscaping can be taken to various different levels and include a range of different plants.

Rochester Hills resident and Sylvan Table Executive Chef Christopher Gadulka utilizes edible landscaping at work and at home. Sylvan Table in Sylvan Lake is a farm-to-table restaurant where they grow produce right outside of the dining area.

Gadulka was immersed in the culture of edible landscaping on a trip to Switzerland, where he noticed that a majority of the “lawns” were actually community gardens where functional plants grew for people to harvest. Even the wildflowers they grew were edible.

When he returned home, instead of growing traditional ornamental plants in his yard, Gadulka began planting edible plants such as marigolds, ostrich ferns and ramps.

One of his favorite edible landscape examples is the dandelion. These plants are 100% edible, as long as they are not sprayed with any chemicals.

Environmental benefits

Because of global supply chain issues, there are many invasive species that have spread into Michigan. As a result, these invasive species take nutrients from the environment that Michigan-based plants would use to thrive, taking over that part of the environment and changing the soil culture.

“The garlic mustard green right now is a huge invasive,” Gadulka said. “It is a great edible. It is similar in flavor to horseradish or

wasabi, with a little bit of spice to it. It’s one of those (plants) that, if you have a little bit in your yard, you will never get rid of it, and the best thing to do is eat it.”

Other edible invasive species Gadulka mentioned are purslane and autumn olive.

By using a grass alternative such as thyme, residents can do their part in helping the environment by using less water and reducing carbon emissions by not lawnmowing. This practice doubles as an economic

benefit by saving money on water and mowing equipment.

These thyme lawns can be used as herbs and are beneficial in bringing bees and other pollinators back to the area.

Edible landscaping can also improve the nonedible landscaping in the area around it.

“There are a number of edible plants, herbs and vegetables whose flowers are beneficial for different kinds of pollinators and good insects,” said David Lowenstein, a con-

Economic benefits

By using edible landscaping, residents can save money all summer on produce. Instead of spending money at the store, they can step outside and harvest fruits and the vegetables that they want for dinner.

Gadulka said dandelions are once again a prime example of edible landscaping’s economic benefits. They are known to grow plentifully, and they are free. By letting dandelions grow, residents can harvest them for salads, teas and more.

Rick Rigutto, the farm manager at Sylvan Farm, shared the benefits from a business standpoint of keeping food production as close as possible to where it is eaten.

“The closer that remains, the more dollars stay in the local community,” Rigutto said.

“Working with your local farms within your region and in your state helps keep those dollars recirculating closer to home.”

Tips for edible landscaping at home

While the idea of incorporating edible landscaping may seem overwhelming to some residents, Rigutto said the best way to begin is by starting small and building from there.

Gadulka suggested starting by creating a rain garden. This is a type of garden that has native perennials and shrubs planted in a depression on the ground in order to soak up and store stormwater runoff.

Several edible flowers and plants can be planted in these rain gardens, including asparagus, rhubarb and strawberries.

Lowenstein also expressed the importance of starting off small. He said there are many microgreens that are great, easy-to-grow edible plants to start with.

“Plant what you think you would like to eat, or what your neighbors or friends would like to eat,” Lowenstein said.

Underdog story ends with national runner-up finish for MCC men’s hoops

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

MACOMB COUNTY — The dynamic of community college sports is unlike any other.

With the majority of the Macomb Community College men’s basketball team’s roster planning to transfer to Division 1 or Division 2 basketball teams after their freshman year, there was a mutual understanding in the locker room that there was only one shot at a national championship together.

“We had a team meeting, and we all knew this was just a one-year thing,” freshman guard Juwan Maxey said. “We knew it was one year, so we had to go all-out to get to that next level. That one year kind of hurt because this team was the best team I’ve ever been a part of. The one-year aspect hurt a little bit, but it also made us better because we never took any game or practice for granted, and that made us better.”

Macomb (28-8) went into the National Junior College Athletic Association Division 2 National Championship Tournament in Danville, Illinois, having reached the tourna-

ment only once before — in 2016-17, when it lost 78-67 to Niagara County Community College in the first round — and they were ready to prove everyone who underestimated them wrong.

The stage was set for the 2023 team after Macomb last season won the school’s first Michigan Community College Athletic Association Championship, first MCCAA Eastern Conference Championship since 1992-93, and first outright Eastern Conference title since 1983-84.

With that foundation and key returners in sophomores Jaylen Daughtery, a forward who led the team in rebounds with 233 this season; guard Cameron McEvans; forward Shawn Brown; and guard/forward Tom McNelis, second-year coach Hassan Nizam — who earned Michigan Community College Athletic Association Coach of the Year honors in 2021 — said the team was confident going into the year.

“The mindset was to finish the job in terms of Danville and qualifying for the national tournament,” Nizam said. “We felt like last year, we had a top-five, top-six team

WARREN — Named after the pioneering designer Suzanne Vanderbilt, who blazed new trails at General Motors Co. and throughout the automotive industry, Cadillac House at Vanderbilt is currently under construction on GM’s Global Technical Center campus in Warren.

Vanderbilt’s unique, maverick, aheadof-her-time spirit is embodied in the facility that dons her name, which will combine a one-of-a-kind, concierge client experience for Cadillac’s first all-electric luxury sedan, the Celestiq.

Among only a few women in the automotive design industry, Vanderbilt joined GM Design in 1955 and worked in the Cadillac studio. She made her mark early designing the 1958 Eldorado Seville coupe, called Baroness, and the 1958 Cadillac Saxony convertible.

Implementing safety with style and functionality, she secured two patents while at GM: inflatable back support for the seat, providing additional support in the lumbar area for occupants; and a safety switch for the automobile instrument panel, which reduced injuries from protruding objects in the dashboard. Both patents were assigned to GM. She also secured a safety helmet patent, which was assigned to American Safety

Equipment.

Vanderbilt, a New York native, earned a Bachelor of Arts in industrial design from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and a Master of Fine Arts from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills.

According to GM, Vanderbilt provided mentorship to other women designers before she retired in 1977.

The Global Technical Center campus was deemed a National Historic Landmark in 2014 because of its midcentury design.

According to GM, this campus set the standard for American corporate campuses and was the first major commission for modern architect Eero Saarinen.

Cadillac House at Vanderbilt sits in a single-story building, with a glass curtain wall displaying expansive views of the campus and lake. The building showcases Saarinen’s modern style with travertine and terrazzo slabs, wood panels and stainless steel details. The 36-by-10-foot sculptural screen of glimmering gold, designed by Harry Bertoia, a Detroit-based artist and designer, is one of the building’s most notable features.

The facility will be the site of the exclusive concierge design services for the Celestiq.

“No two Celestiq are alike,” said Joseph Singer, GM’s senior manager for Cadillac Communications.

APRIL IS THE MONTH OF THE MILITARY CHILD

LANSING — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer proclaimed April as the Month of the Military Child, which recognizes the important role military children play in supporting their families during deployments, relocations and other challenging circumstances.

According to U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul D. Rogers, adjutant general and director of the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, there are more than 17,000 children of service members in Michigan who are directly affected by military deployment.

Local communities are encouraged to schedule activities in support of military children. That could include promoting the Month of the Military Child on websites along with links to resources for military families, special announcements at spring sporting events, or military-themed projects and observances at home or in schools.

The DMVA synchronizes strategic, legislative and fiscal initiatives designed to build and sustain military readiness, care and advocacy for veterans and cultivate purposeful partnerships. Branch operations include Michigan Veteran Homes, Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency, Army National Guard and Air National Guard which stand in support of the department’s mission to serve every member.

STATEWIDE — A new study reveals that Michigan is the safest state for truck drivers in the U.S. The Simplex Group, a premier service provider for America’s trucking industry, analyzed 2022 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The study measured the percentage of large trucks involved in fatal crashes in 2022 compared to all fatal vehicle crashes per state to declare the state with the least percentage of truck incidents.

The study revealed that Michigan is the safest state for truck drivers on the road, as 4.72% of its fatal crashes involved large trucks. The state recorded 1,567 vehicles involved in life-threatening crashes, and 74 large trucks were recorded by the NHTSA. “This research offers an interesting insight into which states are nearing the goal of making roads safer for truck drivers. It also highlights the states that might need to consider implementing more truck-safe road systems for drivers,” a Simplex spokesperson said in a prepared statement. “According to the NHTSA, there have been 4,842 large trucks involved in fatal crashes in the past year, so this study could alert truck drivers to better prepare when journeying in these particular states.”

Anton Art Center hosts ‘Familial(ar)’ exhibit MOUNT CLEMENS — The Anton Art Center presents “Familial(ar)” (pronounced ‘Familial, Familiar’), a new exhibition curated by artist JenClare Gawaran that explores multicultural identity as formed by immigration through visual art composition.

An artist and educator from metro Detroit, Gawaran is curating her first exhibition for the Anton Art Center and the center’s first premiere guest-curated event of 2023.

“I sought out artists who are either the first or second generation of families who immigrated to the United States in the mid-20th century or later,” Gawaran said in a statement. “Their work explores dualities of cultures, the evolution of cultural expectations and customs with each new generation, as well as roots and ties with their familial and current homelands. These themes are expressed through the imagery of relics, landscapes, portraiture or mementos of childhood.”

Artists were selected from across the United States to reflect on elements of their Cuban, Filipino, Iranian, Mexican, Turkmen and Ukrainian heritages in combination with their American cultural experiences across multiple artistic mediums.

“Familial(ar)” opens April 29 and closes May 26, with an opening reception and curator’s talk on Saturday, April 29, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the Anton Art Center’s second floor. This event is free and open to the public.

2011, who won their regional meet as well that season, Crachiola is not only a legacy member of South Lake but is also, with the help of a strong team and coaching staff, leading South Lake back to where it once was over a decade ago.

“I think partially, COVID kind of did like a restart to at least track,” Crachiola said.

“It seemed like the kids came into the sport now with more of a focus and a want to be great at track. In the past, I think the culture was that track was a secondary sport, and now my athletes look at it as a primary sport they want to take to the college level.”

Crachiola stepped away from the track

program in 2018 but returned in 2021 to a team with only 13 athletes across the board.

It was a far cry from the 45 athletes Crachiola had during his peak season from his 2012-2018 tenure, but it didn’t take long for numbers to increase drastically.

Within a two-year span, South Lake’s numbers have increased to 75 athletes, and more impressively, the coaching staff has tripled from two to six coaches since 2021.

Alongside Crachiola are Lillian Crachiola (head coach), who is Crachiola’s sister and former South Lake all-state runner, throwing coach Nick Fisk, distance coach John Worthington, hurdles/specialty coach Nick McCampbell and assistant coach Kevin Green.

in the country. It was about finishing; it was about getting back and finishing.”

Macomb earned the school’s first national tournament win in school history in a 72-59 first round victory over Chesapeake College on March 21 at Mary Miller Gymnasium in Danville behind freshman guard/ forward Aidan Rubio’s 25-point performance.

Rubio would follow up his impressive performance with a dominant 23-point showing, leading Macomb to a 66-63 win

over No. 1 seed Davidson-Davie Community College in the quarterfinals on March 22.

Rubio, who led Macomb with 12 points per game and 56 blocks on the year, was a dynamic two-way guard and formed a dominant backcourt with freshman guard Tamario Adley, who finished second in scoring with 11.6 points per game and who had a team-high 45 steals on the year.

“If I had to describe both those guys in one word, I’d say ‘special,’” Nizam said.

“Aidan and Tamario are both guys who could’ve averaged 20 points per game for us, but they both decided, ‘We’re going to play the right way, and it’s not going to be about

an individual; we’re going to play good team basketball.’”

In the semifinals against Danville Area Community College on March 24, Adley scored 17 points while Rubio added 16 and a team-high nine rebounds to earn the 69-67 comeback win in overtime over the hometown favorites. Maxey, who led the team in three pointers made this season, added 13 points in the win.

Macomb was behind by double digits for the second consecutive game in the tournament, but a 17-3 run launched Macomb into the lead. Danville countered with a 12-2 run of its own to take a four point lead, but Macomb answered to take the game into overtime.

That’s when Macomb showcased the nation’s top-ranked defense, holding Danville scoreless the final three minutes in overtime.

Nizam, who previously coached at Roseville High School from 2017 to 2021, said the team’s steady structure was key to its defense, which held opponents to 61.6 points per game this season.

“We play hard,” Nizam said. “That’s

part of why the defensive numbers were what they were. It’s a credit to our guys and a credit to our coaches for showing up every single day and holding each other accountable and setting the standard high. One thing we talk about in our program, whether it be here or Roseville, is the foundation of your team is built from your first practice to your first game. You’re gonna have to stand on that foundation all year, even when it’s rocky, so you better make sure that foundation is strong.”

Riding a 10-game win streak into the national championship game against Milwaukee Area Technical College, Macomb fell short in an 86-65 loss on March 25.

Adley led the scoring with 12 points, while Daughtery tallied his second double-double of the tournament with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Freshman guard Linden Holder, who led the team in assists with 121 this season, and freshman forward Tymias Williams, who finished third in scoring on the year with 10 points per game, each added eight.

Adley, Rubio and Daughtery were named to the NJCAA Division 2 all-tournament team.

Nizam had high praise for his guys and Milwaukee Area Technical College head coach Randy Casey.

“He (Casey) had his team more prepared for that national championship than I

personally did,” Nizam said. “They had been there for the last three or four years, and they had a lot of success doing it. We just ran out of gas. Our guys played their hearts out all week, and they played their hearts out that night.”

While the players poured their hearts into the season, the Macomb coaching staff has proved itself to be one of, if not, the strongest in the Michigan Community College Athletic Association.

Nizam said coaches Kyle Lorentzen, Tyler Johnson and William Patsalis were key contributors to the team’s success.

“Those guys are the reason we had great practices,” Nizam said. “Those guys put the game plans together, and those guys are the reason our guys developed the way they did.

They deserve way more credit than they get.

Hopefully, I think they’re going to be stars in this profession as the years go by.”

Just weeks after the season’s end, Nizam has already begun the recruiting process for the 2023-2024 Macomb basketball team.

It’s a tough pill to swallow knowing the ride is over with a historic group as guys go their separate ways, but Nizam said they will always be part of the Macomb family no matter where they continue their careers.

“Our relationship with them doesn’t end when they take off the Macomb jersey

the coaches have played an integral part in the increase of South Lake track and field’s popularity.

“The coaching staff has been a big factor because of the growth in staff, and everybody that was hired came with different perspectives of track and how to do it better each year,” Sangster said.

With all the new runners and coaches on both sides, there was a question of how quickly chemistry would develop, but Crachiola said that was put to rest during their first meet at the Macomb County indoor championships on March 28 at Macomb Community College.

“It’s outstanding on both sides with the boys and the girls,” Crachiola said. “This might be one of my favorite seasons I’ve coached because the positivity is so high.

We went to a meet on Saturday, and it was stormy, it was cold and it was raining. All the kids were out there on the track cheering for each other. I told them to go inside and stay warm, but they want to see each other run and support each other.”

The bond the team has developed has been something to watch over the past two seasons, and it’s been in large part to their veteran leaders.

Only holding nine seniors across the program, the inexperienced runners have meshed with the veterans regardless of the numbers, and it’s paid off in the long run.

Junior Semaja Shivers said the team’s dynamic between inexperience and experience has played a pivotal role in the team’s confidence this season.

“The team has gotten bigger and our pool of talent has grown immensely,” Shivers said. “Since the newer people are around and the experienced runners are used to high intensity, they’re adapting quickly and putting in the work. Even now, our runners are looking like they know what they’re doing.

There’s a real spark in the team and people willing to go the distance because of the people around them making the team more ambitious and ready to win more than ever.”

Alongside Shivers and Sangster, seniors Dezareya Tate and Nora Green provide leadership for the girls side, while senior Kyle Hughley and juniors Ta’shawn Jackson, Jamal Newton, Tre’von Austin and Marcell Mason headline the boys side.

Tate finished 12th in the 100-meter dash at the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 2 state finals meet on June 4 at Forest Hills Eastern, and she’s returned this season with already-impressive performances.

Tate earned ninth in the 60-meter dash and ninth in the 200-meter at the Macomb County indoor championships.

Langster finished seventh in the 200-meter while Sangster, Green, freshman Mariah Provost and freshman Daania Muhammad teamed up to earn fifth in the 4x400 relay at the Macomb County meet.

Shivers and Sangster finished first and second, respectively, in the 200-meter, while Provost and freshman Sonia Verge finished ninth and tenth, respectively, in the event at the all-comers meet at Dearborn Divine Child High School on April 1.

Sophomore Gracie George finished second in the 400-meter, while South Lake’s 4x100 and 4x200 relay earned second headlined by Shivers, Sangster, Muhammad, George and freshman Patience Dickerson to help lead South Lake to a third-place finish at the event.

Sangster said the team’s bond has been a key factor in its success so far this season.

“The team chemistry is what makes us a team,” Sangster said. “We are always there for each other even when it’s not related to track. We play, we have fun, but when it’s time to lock in, we know what to do.”

On the boys side, Hughley had a pair of ninth-place performances in the 60-meter dash and the 200-meter, while Newton added a seventh-place finish in the 200-meter at the Macomb County meet. Hughley finished second in the 100-meter and third in the 200-meter, while Mason finished first in the 110-meter hurdles to propel South Lake to a fourth-place finish at the Divine Child meet.

Mason attributes the team’s early success to its mindset.

“I can say this year we’re taking things to a new level and taking track more seriously this year,” Mason said.

The seriousness mixed with the cohesiveness tells the tale of a potential strong season for South Lake in the Macomb Area Conference-Silver division; regardless, South Lake track and field is headed on the right path.

Crachiola said he expects his squad to be extremely competitive in the league. The team last won a league title outright in 2011.

“We’re going to try to make a run at the league championship here in the MACSilver,” Crachiola said. “We want to set ourselves up to get as many athletes to states as possible and just develop these athletes and get them ready for years to come.”

Greene said they haven’t heard much about what other communities are doing with the money. However, he said what he’s heard from other city managers is that most of the other communities are in the same boat as St. Clair Shores and don’t have a health and human services department.

“Everyone’s kind of in the same bucket right now,” Greene said. “We didn’t start receiving our funding until, I believe, (the) end of January, early February, so for the most part a lot of communities have just kind of been brainstorming what the potential is going to be and what we can do.”

Fire Chief James Piper said the number of overdoses in St. Clair Shores is going down.

“Thankfully for us here in St. Clair Shores, I would say we’re probably below the national average,” Piper said. “We have had an effect, we’ve seen it over the years, but our particular numbers on the EMS side are actually going, trending down over the last like four years.”

Though numbers are trending downward, they still see an average of about one overdose per week, Piper said.

Police Chief Jason Allen said they see the same thing. He said when the police are called for an overdose, the Fire Department will go with them, and they work together on the cases. They peaked in 2020 during the pandemic, Allen said, but they’ve seen a decrease since then.

“Today, basically a third of the way through the year, we’re projected to be around (the) low 20s, whereas before we were probably like he said in the 50s,” Allen said. “So it’s definitely reduced.”

Piper said good enforcement and a big push on treatment contribute to the reduced numbers.

Allen said there are a number of programs available for residents to get help for substance abuse including Hope Not Handcuffs through Families Against Narcotics.

This allows people to come into the police station 24 hours a day, seven days a week to get help setting up treatment.

Piper said they would have to look at the rules the state set up, but from what he’s seen, the money could probably be used for more training and education.

“It’ll probably be earmarked directly for education and intervention,” Piper said. “So things like an increased amount of Narcan kits for, say, the police if they get there right on scene. We may be able to do things like increased training and awareness in the community.”

Greene said the city is happy they get to participate in the settlements and they’re excited.

“At the end of the day, the city’s just happy we get to be part of this to try to do what we can to fight this and make people’s lives safer out there,” Greene said. “We’re excited for the opportunity, but we know there’s (a) long ways to go.”

arms for the (City) Council of Detroit when Jerome Cavanagh was mayor.

“When I first started with the Knights, I was young and impressionable. The first degree of being a Knight is charity,” Shanahan said. “The Knights were very big over the years. It was a fellowship. It was getting to meet new people. Winter, spring, summer and fall, there were always things going on.

With the Knights, it’s kind of like family. You help them, they help you.”

When Shanahan first joined Nov. 6, 1972, he was a member of Knights No. 3191, which had a building on Whittier Avenue in Detroit.

“We had a clubhouse and a hall. I was the bartender once or twice a month,” Shanahan said. “One of the first charitable things we did was start a Tootsie Roll drive on Palm Sunday weekend.”

Money raised from selling Tootsie Roll candies each year was donated to help individuals with intellectual disabilities. Shanahan also recalled days of bowling at Denby Bowling Lanes in Detroit.

“I wasn’t too bad, a 172 average,” he said.

“The only thing that ruined me were the No. 7 and No. 10 pins.”

He also played on the Knights’ softball

team, which sometimes traveled to Bay City and Saginaw. Shanahan has always put his faith in God and celebrated Mass.

“It gives you a good feeling,” he said.

“Going to church, you feel better.”

His faith was present on the frigid winter evening of Feb. 22, 1991, when Shanahan sustained a gunshot wound to his leg during an attack while carrying groceries to his Detroit apartment.

“It hit my mid-thigh area,” Shanahan said. “There was blood all over the place in the snow.”

A neighbor wrapped a towel around the injury until emergency medical services arrived and took Shanahan to a local hospital.

“All I heard were doctors walking around in white coats,” he said. “The following day, I got tubes up and down my legs and my arms.

I was on a walker for a year and a half.”

Shanahan became disabled because of the shooting. He said he maintains his health with epidural treatments four times a year, has chiropractor visits and the occasional massage.

“To this day, I’ve been to 13 orthopedic doctors,” Shanahan said.

He said that the suspect has never been caught.

“I’m still waiting for that to happen,” he said.

bit, executive director of Global Cadillac Design, said, “Every Celestiq is personally commissioned and working on-site with our Cadillac designers provides clients an elevated experience. It’s a unique opportunity to collaborate with our design team, enabling clients to directly translate their vision of their Celestiq into a one-of-one piece of moving sculpture.”

Cadillac House at Vanderbilt will welcome its first clients in late summer 2023.

The concierge experience can be had by Celestiq clients in person, as well as virtually from around the globe. The company said a keen attention to detail is implemented from the beginning of the process to the end.

“From start to finish, the process is meticulously curated,” said Melissa Grady Dias, GM’s global chief marketing officer for Cadillac, in a statement. “And regardless of where clients choose to collaborate with the Cadillac team, we will offer an extraordinary variety of commission options, ensuring every desire for their vehicle can be fulfilled.

Each Celestiq is tailored to reflect its owner’s tastes, which are conveyed directly to the design team.”

For Lambert, the ball is going exactly where her father, who was a Tigers fan, would want it to go.

“I think my dad would be happy that it’s going to the Tigers,” Lambert said. “It belongs there, as long as they take care of it; that’s what matters.’”

Lambert is now holding on to 10 historic baseballs from her childhood.

She said she’s found some other baseball

memorabilia, including a Steve Kemp-signed bat, after getting the motivation to search her basement, but more importantly, she has been able to relive some memories in the process.

“It’s gotten me into it again, let me tell you,” Lambert said. “More than anything, it’s taken me back down memory lane and remembering how much time I spent studying baseball and the players. I used to know their earned run average, their batting average and how many home runs they hit. I knew them every day because that’s just how I grew up.”

The name Celestiq comes from the combination of celestial and IQ. “The name itself combines the otherworldly, even the divine with human intelligence, to capture the aspirational spirit of Cadillac,” said Singer. “This vehicle represents the ultimate expression of Cadillac design and technology, with a bold, dramatic presence, and unparalleled refinement and innovation.”

The price of this “custom, one-ofa-kind, sculpture in motion” starts at $300,000. Production is limited and available through inquiry only.

When asked about potential Celestiq customers, Singer said, “The ultra-luxury client is an extremely unique, maverick personality that ultimately matches the brand spirit of Cadillac.”

“In the past, Cadillac was the standard of the world. People talked about the Cadillac of things.” said VP of Global Design Michael Simcoe in a Celestiq video. “We really, honestly, wanted to bring back that level of detail, passion and engagement for the customers.”

According to Simcoe, “We’re reinventing American luxury, automotive luxury,” Call Staff Writer Gena Johnson at (586) 498-1069.

Jeep crashes into business, flees

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 11:25 a.m. March 17, officers were dispatched to a business in the 51000 block of Van Dyke Avenue for a malicious destruction of property report. When the owner came to work, he discovered the front door of the business damaged.

A review of security footage showed a white Jeep run into the building. The Jeep is seen driving into the building, then backing up and exiting the parking lot onto Van Dyke. Police were investigating and were trying to find the owner of the Jeep.

Wallet, personal items stolen at gas station store

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 9:45 p.m. March 12, officers were dispatched to Murphy USA on 23 Mile Road near the Van Dyke Freeway for a larceny report.

The caller stated that his keychain, wallet, car keys, AirTag and AirPods case were stolen from the checkout area inside the store.

Officers arrived at the gas station and spoke to the caller, who stated that he placed his wallet and keychain on the counter when checking out. He stated that, after he paid, he forgot to retrieve his wallet and keychain. He went outside and then came back inside the store about five minutes later after pumping gas. At that point, his items were missing.

Some of his missing items were later located near the roadway and were damaged, as they appeared to have been thrown from a moving car. The detective bureau was investigating.

Customers caught stealing from store found with needles and drugs

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Officers were dispatched to the Circle K gas station, 8069 22 Mile Road, for a retail fraud complaint at 1:37 a.m. March 19. A male suspect and female suspect were seen in the store concealing merchandise. Officers arrived shortly after and detained both suspects. The male had a warrant out of another jurisdiction, and the female was currently on probation. A search of the female’s backpack discovered needles and a vial of lorazepam, a sedative, which she reportedly stated she stole from a local urgent care office. She was arrested and transported to the station for processing.

Two suspects arrested for allegedly taking items off trucks

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 1:22 a.m. March 17, an officer on patrol noticed a pickup truck running and backed into a parking spot with its lights off in a parking lot of a business in the 14100 block of Industrial Center Drive, near 23 Mile and Schoenherr roads.

When the officer drove closer, the driver turned the truck’s lights on and left the parking lot at a high rate of speed. The officer was able to catch up to the truck and initiate a traffic stop at 23 Mile and Wing Drive. As the officer was speaking to the driver, the officer observed several radiators from semi-trucks in the bed of the pickup. Also, several pieces of copper, license plates and tools were observed inside the truck. The two occupants of the truck were both arrested for felony larceny.

Shoplifter arrested with stolen clothes

STERLING HEIGHTS — Police went to Kohl’s, 44200 Schoenherr Road, near Hall Road, March 19 upon hearing that a shoplifting incident was happening.

A repeat offender reportedly was filling a purse and a cart with merchandise. The suspect reportedly visited the men’s and children’s clothing sections and took items from them before exiting without paying.

Police watched two exits and reportedly saw the suspect leave and then reenter. Police said they apprehended the suspect and took her to loss prevention. Police said they recovered 25 clothing items worth a total of $683 and then arrested the suspect for retail fraud.

Fight witnessed in parking lot

STERLING HEIGHTS — A witness told police that around 10 people were fighting after midnight March 18 in a parking lot near a business in the 43000 block of Van Dyke Avenue, near Utica Road.

According to a witness, at some point an “armed individual” appeared. Then people who were involved reportedly left in a navy blue Cadillac and a white SUV, police said.

Vehicle taken from home

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 7:15 a.m. on March 18, a report was made about a vehicle theft that happened in the 26000 block of Harmon Street between March 17 and March 18.

Officers spoke with a 48-year-old man who said he asked his son, 23, why the garage door was open.

When his son went to check, he saw that his vehicle was stolen and his father’s vehicle had its passenger side window broken out.

The vehicle was last seen by the son at approximately 11:30 p.m. the previous night. A handgun was also in one of the compartments in the car. The son didn’t know who would steal the vehicle and the father said they lost the remote for the garage door, which could be how the suspects got in.

The last ping of the vehicle’s locator showed it was in Highland Park. Officers spoke with a neighbor,

a 42-year-old woman, who said she saw the garage door open at approximately 4:30 a.m. when she let her dog out.

Later in the day, the son reportedly came back to the police station with videos provided by a neighbor.

Burglary reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 8:37 p.m. on March 17, a report was made about a burglary that happened in the 22000 block of Gary Lane between March 16 and March 17.

Upon arrival, an officer spoke to the victim, a 41-year-old man, who said his wallet and keys were stolen from his home.

He reportedly got home at around 8 p.m. on March 16 and set his wallet and his keys on his China cabinet. When he woke up the next day, both were missing. He said that both his windows and doors were locked during the night.

The man said his wallet had $138 and three forms of identification in it.

Gaming PC goes unpaid for

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — On March 6, a resident on Mulberry Street called Clinton Township Police about a case of fraud.

The resident reportedly sent another person a gaming computer through the mail on the condition the recipient would send payment afterwards, but the computer has remained unpaid for and the recipient is not in contact with the resident anymore.

The buck stops at the Bell

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — A case of counterfeit cash spending unfolded before workers at the Garfield Road Taco Bell on the evening of Feb. 25.

The suspect ordered a small meal and presented a $100 bill. Staff began questioning the validity of the banknote, and the suspect drove off in a Honda sedan without his questionable cash or the meal.

Retail fraud suspect wanted

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — An unknown woman is said to be wanted for stealing shampoo and cosmetics from the Hill Rite Aid store at around 8:21 p.m. March 22.

According to a police report, the suspect brought in her own shopping bag and put makeup and hair care products in the bag. As the suspect headed toward the liquor aisle, an employee offered to put her merchandise on the counter for her. The suspect asked the store employee to put a bottle of tequila in her bag, but the store employee said she needed to see the suspect’s identification first.

The suspect is said to have been telling someone on the phone that she needed identification, and the suspect told the store employee someone would be coming into the store with that documentation.

The suspect then reportedly left with the bag containing the cosmetics and hair products, for which she hadn’t paid. The tequila was left behind. She is said to have left the store with more than $110 worth of merchandise and was last seen entering a Ford F-150.

Patient escorted off hospital property GROSSE POINTE CITY — Police said they escorted an unruly patient out of Corewell Health’s Beaumont Hospital, Grosse Pointe, after the patient is said to have made threats against nursing staff at around 12:30 p.m. March 28.

Intoxicated driver stopped

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — Police stopped a 61-year-old Eastpointe woman in the area of Moross Road and Mack Avenue at 8:15 p.m. March 25 when they saw that she was driving on a front driver’s side rim that was almost completely eroded. The driver, who police said had slow and slurred speech and smelled of alcohol, told police she didn’t realize she was driving on the rim and not the tire. She admitted to having consumed one drink that evening. She was arrested for operating while intoxicated after being found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.19% — more than twice the legal limit — in a preliminary breath test.

Intoxicated driver arrested with child in vehicle

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — A 37-year-old Detroit woman is facing a possible charge of operating while intoxicated, second offense, after a traffic stop in the area of Lake Shore and Moross roads at 7:03 p.m.

March 25. Police said the driver was speeding — traveling more than 50 mph in a 35 mph zone — and driving erratically, which prompted another motorist to call 911 to report her. Police said the vehicle also had a dark tint on its windows.

The driver failed field sobriety tests and was found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.28% — more than three times the legal limit. Police said she was driving with her 9-year-old son in the vehicle.

The driver — who was also found to have a warrant against her out of 36th District Court in Detroit for disorderly conduct and a probation violation out of 28th District Court in Southgate — was arrested for operating while intoxicated. She’s also facing possible charges of child endangerment — her second such charge since a conviction in 2021 — and driving with a suspended license.
